Old god raid before SoO? Yes fucking please.
But of course this yawning chasm of darkness could be him speaking figuratively, and not literally, and that would suck.

I believe it pertains to the Old Gods as well and sort of have a theory. I think that this is the work of Y'shaarj and that each one of his seven heads is connected to one of the sha that he released on Pandaria. This means that there would have to be one more sha to make it seven and once we kill said sha, Y'shaarj will be reincarnated... It is kind of sketchy, but Blizz has done worse... This Old God raid could contain corrupted/ mc'd titans (like Ulduar) as well as other Old God supporters, with the 2nd to last boss being the 7th sha, and Y'shaarj afterwards to wrap it up.
Spoiler Alert:
Old Gods did it.
Ok putting my tinfoil hat on...so the Old Gods are "linked" to Azeroth in a way supposedly, correct? When the titans defeated Yashaarj, this "yawning chasm" could have perhaps formed once Yashaarj had fallen. The titans saw this as a terrible thing to happen to Azeroth (giant empty chasm in your planet can be detrimental to its overall structure after all) and decided to "imprison" the remaining old gods so they didn't have to kill them. The titans then created the Engine of Nalaksha to possibly hold together this chasm in a way (complete shot in the dark), and left Ra Den to guard said engine to ensure the chasm didn't collapse and destroy the planet. And the fact that there's been a lot of crazy ass activity going on in Pandaria lately, an old god (perhaps N'Zoth) possibly has taken notice and moved his influence or even himself into this chasm and began to expand. And the fact that Ra Den said he fears we cannot reverse this action is because the damage has already been done by the Alliance and Horde of them landing their armies on Pandaria's shores, and N'Zoth isn't turning back. Ok tin foil hat off now.
Is it just me or does Ra-Den sound like Macho Man Randy Savage? .... AWESOME!
I'm pretty sure the yawning chasm he speaks of was something from a lovecraft book, can't remember which one. It's pretty safe to assume it's old god related. At the mountains of madness may be the book I thinking about... been a while since I've read a lovecraft book.

We have never been truly "told" that they cannot die, it has always just been assumed by the fan base based on Lovecraft.
We do know now though that they can suffer a final death, Y'sharrj is truly the precedent for that case.
But where it gets interesting is that the Titans realised that having a dead old god is literally far worse than having a living one. It really makes you think, what can be worse than an a living old god?

There has to be a bottom to the engine and that might be where the dead old god's body lies. Something must be stirring up down there.
we did only defeat 6 out of the 7 sha.
