The churches of the Monger World naturally regarded their True Gods as their core.
Hess was the Death God and his God Nation was situated in the Netherworld. All souls after death had to go through his screening before being able to ascend into a God Nation or into the depths of the Netherworld. He was perceived as fierce and ferocious. The Church of Death relied on this power, and their influence in the human world was tremendous.
To no avail, he had faced Fang Yuan who had taken along origin power. Even the Sun God was heavily defeated, while the outcome of Hess overestimating his ability was heavy injuries and sinking into a deep slumber.
Most importantly, the appearance of the Nine Tier Purgatory directly changed the terrain of the Netherworld. Contending for souls with the Death God was definitely adding insult to injury in Hess' views.
Thus, in these years, it was said that this Death God was always in deep sleep and had few moments when he woke.
