Six hundred years ago, Surshana was transported from YGGDRASIL to the New World. Together with rest of the Six Great Gods, they formed the Slane Theocracy and became a focal point in its religious doctrine.

Written in the scriptures of the Slane Theocracy, he was regarded as the strongest among the Six Great Gods, since no human could escape the scythe of death. Transcending life, he was considered to be a god that absolutely exists in the very core of the Slane Theocracy as proof of his name being carry on.

The oral traditions of the Slane Theocracy states that he was slain by the Eight Greed Kings.

The Ruler of Conspiracy Arc
During the meeting of the highest officials in the Theocracy, a few thought of the possibility that Ainz Ooal Gown may be Surshana, since they look similar. They ended up casting the idea aside as Surshana's first follower would have informed them should he had "descended" once more.
