After some time, these gods stop receiving worship from the mortals and decide to return to their home planet. Soon, the gods grow weak from lack of worship and, one by one, they decide to fade away into oblivion. Apollo, however, chooses not to fade away as he firmly believes that, one day, the mortals of Earth will venture out into the stars and come to his planet where they will worship him again.
