Jiang Yuan agreed, but in his heart, he was thinking about the rumors he had heard about the gods before.
Deities consume divine power to ensure peace and tranquility in a region, the people receive grace and repay with incense offerings, providing power of faith to the gods, forming a mutually beneficial cycle.
The fear is that the creatures living in this region only enjoy the protection from the deities but are many ungrateful ones who do not think of repaying.
Deities expend five parts divine power, yet only receive one part power of faith as compensation. Over time, even the strongest god would become increasingly weak as the divine power dissipates. At that point, they would either have to leave this place to find another where mutual benefit is possible to continue surviving, or be gradually exhausted to death.
While casually chatting with Sister Hai Shen, she mentioned that a deity for a given region may not leave casually unless there is a shift in Heaven and Earth.
