It was apparent that in the end, it was slain by the Dragon God, and thus, from the five Old Gods, there only remained four.
As for the theory that Saratas was eaten by the other Old Gods along the way, Mo Fei considered it to be utterly illogical. The four Old Gods were not internet celebrities who hype public opinion, so it would be impossible for them to reveal such a scandal about themselves. If Saratas really was eaten, then how could such a tale have spread?
However, following the death of Saratas, it was very likely that the remaining Old Gods absorbed some of its legacies.
But being an Old God, how could one be so easily slain? Even the Titans couldn't handle them and could only resort to sealing them away.
The Dragon God's fierce slaying of Saratas might have led to a final act of self-destruction or the casting of some forbidden power by Saratas, using its life as a sacrifice to cast the Curse of Flesh upon the Ancient Dragon Clan.
