Among the billions of races in Sumatra, only two races were regarded as Deities—Empyrean Tusks and Empyrean Snappers.
Mystic Empyrean Tentacles too were regarded as Deities, but only the Mystic Grade variant. Ven the Gold Empyrean Tentacle, an Expert Gold Grade Pranic Beast wasn't considered a Deity.
This status was special, reserved only for two creatures. They were special, displaying pinnacle evolution potential in all fields. But the primary reason was simple—their capabilities exceeded Gold Grade.
An Empyrean Tusk was a walking reserve of resources, possessing multiple biomes in its body where life could exist. Mammoth Clansmen lived in its body while it accessed their thoughts to exist as an omniscient being.
Though Empyrean Tusks were killed by the Boar King, it took a Mystic Grade Pranic Beast to kill them. To date, no existence below Mystic Grade managed to kill an Empyrean Tusk in a one-on-one fight.
