"Thank you for the tea, sir. I still don't know how I should address you."
"I am just an old man, nameless and untitled. People call me the Grand Sage."
"Grand Sage, I presume you know why I have come."
"Indeed. I have long known that the Xiensa Evil God is leading many evil curses to bring chaos to the world."
"If that's the case, Senior, why don't you intervene to save the world? With your strength, surely you can deal with this Xiensa Evil God."
"I could have, if it were the old me. Unfortunately, I can no longer do so."
"Why is that?"
"My power actually comes from the power of the gods. As the gods abandoned this continent, my own power has gradually waned. Now, I can barely sustain my life within this enchantment, isolating myself from the passage of time. If I were to step outside, I would immediately age and die."
"Why would the gods abandon this continent?"
