Misfortune

The gap between high-ranking Demons and Demon Lords was not actually that great.

Once one's stats reached around a thousand, one could try to find a territory and become a Demon Lord.

It was just that the Abyss had a total of 666 layers, and nearly all of them already had masters.

To become a new Demon Lord, one either had to step on an old lord to rise to power, or possess astonishing means and sink a Material Plane into the Abyss to form a new layer.

Unfortunately, the current Material Planes were basically all territories of the true gods, each one guarded extremely tightly.

After all, following the great continental catastrophe on the Main Material Plane, resources had dwindled, and naturally, so had the population.

The gods did not have much surplus food left either.

Faith was extremely important to gods. Once they reached the level of gods, external elements alone could no longer support their existence.

Faith, this power gathered from the masses, was an important resource for the gods' survival.

Under such circumstances, trying to sink any Material Plane was basically courting death.

There were a total of eighteen hundred Steel Breed clergy members on the Azure Sky Whale in the Main Material Plane, while there were also roughly five hundred non-clergy Steel Breed.

Judging by numbers alone,
