Ascending to the Eighth Tier, Part Three

Standing above an abyss, the King of Earth Demons raised his head and gazed into the distance.

Not far away, the towering figure of the Primordial Demon stood motionless. At that moment, his aura began to slowly fade.

This was the result of losing the Abyss Authority's blessing.

The Primordial Demon's power depended on the blessing of the Abyss Authority and was inextricably linked to the Abyss.

Thus, now that he had lost the Abyss's Primordial Authority, the Primordial Demon had also lost that portion of his power, and his aura began to gradually weaken.

This process was irreversible, the inevitable consequence of losing his authority.

To a certain extent, this was also a flaw in the World of Gods' system.

One's power came from authority, and was lost with it.

When someone acquired authority, they became immensely powerful, even if they had once been an ordinary mortal. They could stir up a storm and rival the highest gods.

But once they lost that authority, they were immediately cast back down to the dust, reduced to a mere mortal.

Their rise was swift, and their fall just as sudden.

The Primordial Demon was now in precisely that situation.

However, what surprised the King of Earth Demons was that after losing the Primordial Authority of the Abyss World, Primordial Demon Herlaudi had not fallen below the Eighth Tier. His aura had merely weakened; he had not truly dropped out of that realm.

But from what he could see now, that assumption had been wrong.
