King had a clear knack for storytelling, his knowledge of the history of Deityforsaken Land was detailed and profound.
His voice echoed with the solemnity of ancient scriptures:
"Decades of millennia ago, perhaps even longer, people had ventured into the Deityforsaken Land. Some, in their quest for divinity, chose to remain. At first, none sought to erect cities; after all, they were pursuers of power, and to become deities was their sole pursuit."
"Power, wealth, sensual pleasures—they meant nothing to the mighty. They were but dross. However, the path to becoming a deity was arduous, especially so for the corporeal ascent to divinity. Over time, not a single soul achieved this exalted state."
At this juncture, a sneer twisted upon King's face.
Ethan nodded subtly, a quiet ridicule in his gesture.
How ludicrous it was! A heart set on divinity, yet every effort fruitless.
