deathlessness
Never ceasing being
Deathlessness is the quality of being immortal or enduring forever.
The word appears most often in literary or philosophical contexts, describing gods, souls, or artistic legacies that transcend mortality: the deathlessness of the human spirit, Homer's deathlessness through his poetry.
It carries more gravitas than simple immortality, emphasizing triumph over death rather than mere continuation.
