Chapter 156: 156. Answers

Gods, the deities who dwell in a domain where mortals cannot reach. They are seen with reverence and claimed as the beings that reign on top of the other existences. What would be their goals? What would be the goals of a god who can literally spectate and live a prosperous life lying on a bed of roses? 

Obviously, it would be to reach the summit where none can rival them. Satisfaction and finding inner happiness are something that saints, sages, gods, or any other higher beings pioneer. Though they've been enlightened they still would thrive to raise high. That is indeed the nature of all living things. It certainly isn't wrong and that's what the beings of Empyrean were trailing. Or there might be an ulterior motive or purpose why they aren't content with their prevailing status.
