The great demons of the Netherworld were the backbone of the Chaos Faction. They were roughly at the level of Receivers of Surrender, close to that of Crowned Ones.
In short, they bore the mark of a Pillar Deity and could serve as vessels for its descent, crossing the thick Veil and projecting its power into the material world to wreak tremendous change.
Moreover, because Receivers of Surrender inherited the supreme blessings of a Pillar, their traits and abilities improved rapidly, and they could even receive specific enhancements.
For example, they might gain a longer lifespan, greater potential, or even a change to their destiny.
Getu had once been a noble descendant of the Sacred Blood Race, one of the Nine Great Powers of the Star Sea. As a rare member of the Long-lived Race, he had enjoyed a lifespan far greater than that of other beings.
It was the kind of dream start that could drive anyone with envy.
With more time to pursue whatever he wanted, he never needed to rush.
Whether he chose to experience life or devote himself to arduous cultivation, he could remain calm and take things in stride.
But Getu had chosen to betray his race, flee its civilized territory, and join the Chaos Faction.
He had offered his True Blood to the [Mother Nest] in devout submission and completed the ritual of corruption. In exchange for abandoning his noble Sacred Blood heritage, he had gained the chance to escape the Blood Thirst Curse.
Throughout his endless years as a Netherworld Great Demon, Getu no longer had to fear an attack of Blood Thirst Disease, that ultimate agony of withdrawal from an addiction.
So he began seeking pleasure in other ways, such as contaminating and corrupting one pure heart after another.
