Pang Jian's departure left those old men in the Dark Prison without even an inkling of what hope might be.
For centuries, ever since the Star Devourer had appeared in the Dark Prison, they had been praying for help at their Altars of Praying to God, imploring the God Spirits they worshipped.
Every year, every month, they would disperse their mournful soulful pleas to their God Spirits.
But the God of Shadow never responded.
The arrival of Pang Jian, and his successful heist of a limb from the Star Devourer, finally reignited their faith.
They faintly felt that the nightmare which had loomed over the Dark Prison for hundreds of years was about to end.
However, Pang Jian, who had made promises by mouth, still vanished into the Mysterious Fog and disappeared from the Dark Prison.
"It's over, this world is finished. From now on, let the Star Devourer massacre and butcher at will,"
an old man from the Earth Spirit Clan howled in despair.
