Gao Ge and Mao Ge likely acquired their divinity around that time.
However, the Benevolent Father—Nagash, one of the Four Evil Gods, did not perish. The Four Evil Gods of this Crystal Wall Element are somewhat different from the deities of other Crystal Wall Elements. They are more like conceptual gods, known by different names across various civilizations. They are not the ascent of any particular life form but rather the embodiment of desires and ideas. Even if their descended bodies are slain, they can resurrect after a short time.
But these issues are actually minor.
The thing that truly made Su Ziyu feel a chill was something else entirely. The empire's former Spiritual Ascension. He realized it was a terrifying trap!
Or rather.
The Spiritual Ascension tech tree obtained by the Ancient Lost Empire was itself a dreadful bait!
