Chapter 2419 Flowers Know the Sea

Miss Mirror hadn't thought Han Sen's mind was strong, and the unexpected depth of his consciousness struck her with confusion.

It was as if she had received a mystery gift, and she had no idea who had delivered it or what it contained. After opening that special parcel, she only found another mystery box inside. She opened it, layer by layer, but there never seemed to be an end.

It didn't matter if the gift deep inside the layers of the package was good or bad; opening a gift like this would make people angry.

Luckily, Miss Mirror was a very patient person, so she didn't look annoyed. She peeled open Han Sen's mind, layer by layer. But after doing this for a while, she still hadn't found what lay at its center.

Not even God had enough patience to keep searching endlessly like that. After Miss Mirror peeled away all those layers, her inability to find the center was too much. She didn't like feeling this way.

"I want to see what resides in your mind," Miss Mirror thought in determination. Gathering herself, she leaned the full weight of her deified mind atop Han Sen's mind to try to crack it open.

Spring Rain destroyed flowers. Han Sen's will was like the center of a flower that was being forced open. One by one, the petals fell. But when the place covered by the petals was finally revealed, she found that it was empty.

"It's only a shell, with nothing on the inside." Miss Mirror felt rather disappointed.

Minds represented someone's personality and the way they felt things. Han Sen's mind was very strong on the outside, but its interior was hollow. Therefore, he couldn't be considered someone strong.

Miss Mirror wanted to pull her mind back since she was done investigating, but suddenly, she couldn't.

She had opened Han Sen's mind using brute force. A normal mind would have been shattered by such an act. There shouldn't have been left a trace of that mind left.

But Miss Mirror could still detect Han Sen's mind with her own will. That was unexpected.

The mind moved. Miss Mirror's eyes lowered, and she looked at all of the petals across the floor. Every petal was like a crystal. They were scattered across the floor, but they weren't damaged.

The will that Miss Mirror had detected invaded one of the petals, and as it did, Miss Mirror's eyes widened. She had only wanted to peel away the petals to see what was on the inside. She hadn't bothered to look at the petals themselves.

The mind entered the petal, and suddenly, that consciousness was like a rolling, storm-shaken sea. It was as wide as a sky and as deep as an ocean. The mind was so rich that Miss Mirror staggered under the detailed sensation of it.

Miss Mirror bent and picked up another petal. The will was like a mountain crashing down. It was like a pillar that held up the sky, never moving.

If she was a novel, this man would be a grand saga.

A man could define himself as a broken, sick, elderly man on his deathbed, or as the warrior who threw himself into the thick of battle when he was young.

People only focused on results. Wins and losses determined all, and rarely did people pay attention to what led up to those places. People often failed to see the desperation and difficult times men have to face frequently. Endurance and bravery abound in the hearts of men.

Everyone fails sometimes, but real men get up and keep going despite their losses. No matter what environment they are in or what happens to their bodies, the only thing that can't be changed is the wants and desires of their hearts. They want victory, with the determination to win is greater than anything.

Han Sen's will didn't have a core because real men have no end. Ambitions grew continually, stretching out beyond the reaches of space and time. Forward. Forward. And forward again until their time of death.

Han Sen wasn't looking to climb the highest mountains. He wanted to go further and higher. His ambitions had no end. Infinity went on forevermore.

Miss Mirror didn't see the core of Han Sen's mind, but every petal was what Han Sen had experienced. There was anger, happiness, sadness, endurance, sensations of sea, and sky, and earth.

Perhaps one single mind didn't make Han Sen better than Miss Mirror, but by observing all of those petals and understanding them, Miss Mirror couldn't help but feel awed.

Suddenly, Miss Mirror raised her head. She realized she was trapped inside Han Sen's mind. His emotions were affecting her mood.

"I cannot stay in a place that bothers my heart," Miss Mirror said with an implacable face. She summoned her Spring Rain mind, wanting to destroy the mirror where Han Sen had sent his will. She didn't want her own will to be affected.

Ten thousand petals were destroyed by her mind, but Miss Mirror soon found out that when the petals were destroyed, they fell to the ground like seeds. New flowers then opened.

No matter how Miss Mirror's mind raged or how she tried to destroy Han Sen's will, the flowers grew. She couldn't destroy them, only spread them further.

"Why is this happening?" Miss Mirror wondered, stupefied. She couldn't remain calm. She couldn't completely destroy Han Sen's mind. It was an impossible task.

She was a deified elite. Her mind was one of the strongest in the whole of the Extreme King, and yet she couldn't deal with Han Sen, who just a meager King. She couldn't believe what was happening.

"Is his will really this strong?" Miss Mirror examined at her will, where flowers were half-opened. She looked at them strangely.

Ding!

Miss Mirror took a step back. She separated the two Mirror Spirit Eye Rings and looked right at Han Sen.

Miss Mirror discovered that her mind was melting quickly into Han Sen's body. Seconds later, it was all gone. Even Miss Mirror could no longer feel it. The Mirror Spirit Eye's mind that had been sent to Han Sen had been extinguished by him.

"Thank you, My Lady." Han Sen opened his eyes and bowed before Miss Mirror.

Miss Mirror's Spring Rain mind had allowed Han Sen to learn a lot, and he was very thankful for the opportunity.

When Miss Mirror looked at Han Sen, her expression was inscrutable. She didn't say anything, and she merely departed.

When she returned to her room, Miss Mirror used many methods to try to erase Han Sen's influence, but try as she might, she couldn't. It greatly annoyed Miss Mirror.

"Am I not as good as a mere King?" Miss Mirror chewed her lip and tried to use her mind to erase the flowers that stood for Han Sen's mind. Her efforts were futile. Those mind flowers had taken a firm root inside her mind. No matter how she tried to destroy them, the roots remained. They could keep growing again and again.

Flowers know the sea. Half-open and half-hidden. Wildflowers kept burning. The wind blew, and the process started again.

Miss Mirror's crew had been working in the stone fields for five days, and after that time passed, something weird happened. A worker dug up a rock that was the size of a mortar and pestle. A few words were engraved on the side of the rock.

The two Marquises that dug up the rock read the text, and all of a sudden, they became Dukes.

Miss Mirror went out to the stone field with Red Cloud and brought the rock back to camp. After their second day examining the rock, the deified Red Cloud was reduced to King class overnight.

2420 Stone Man

When Han Sen reached the control room, Miss Mirror, Red Cloud, and Night Wind were there staring at the rock through a monitor.

The stone had been locked inside a warehouse. No one was allowed to physically approach the warehouse, though. Whenever any creature approached the stone, something strange would happen.

A deified elite had suddenly been reduced to a King. That was something that had never happened before.

Even Red Cloud didn't know what had happened to her. She hadn't been injured, and she hadn't felt anything invade her body. It was as if she had fallen asleep and gone back in time to a point before she had become deified.

Although she still had a deified mind and senses, her physical power and prowess had dropped to King class. It was a very unusual phenomenon.

Han Sen heard what had happened, and when he looked at Red Cloud, he examined her carefully. He could see that Red Cloud's lifeforce had significantly lowered. When he had looked at her previously, the cloudy appearance that had shrouded her power was now gone. He could see her lifeforce clearly now. She was only a King, and she was weaker than Falling Leaf.

"What do you think?" Miss Mirror asked Han Sen, indicating the stone.

Han Sen looked at the stone displayed on the monitor, and he noticed that it looked like any ordinary block of stone. It was black, and it was roughly the size and shape of a man standing on his feet.

It was only a rough shape, though. There was no discernible face. The rough outline of limbs were connected to the body, so the stone was a single lump. It looked like something that might have been crudely hewn from a greater rock by primitive individuals with their primal tools.

Han Sen knew it couldn't have been constructed, though. There was no evidence that it had been created by sentient beings.

Even the symbols upon the stone man appeared to be naturally generated. They didn't look like carvings, at all.

Han Sen observed it for a while, and he couldn't find anything unusual about it. He didn't know what any of the symbols upon it meant, either. He had never seen them before, and they weren't like the Kingese, which he could understand by instinct.

"I cannot tell you anything just by looking at the video," Han Sen answered.

"Do you want to go to the warehouse to take a look?" Miss Mirror asked, glancing at Han Sen.

"If you guys can't determine anything about this stone, then I definitely won't be able to," Han Sen said quickly. He wasn't really interested in taking an unnecessary risk.

Even a deified had been reduced to King class overnight. Han Sen didn't want to have his level lowered, especially since he had only just become King.

Han Sen's answer surprised Miss Mirror. She was silent for a moment, then said, "This news has spread all across King's Kingdom. My brother told me to keep it here and figure out what it is exactly."

That didn't surprise Han Sen. If they sent it back to the Extreme King without figuring out what it was or how to control it, the stone could end up draining the power of all the deified Extreme King. Han Sen found the thought to be rather funny.

Night Wind said, "We don't know how effective this item is. We will have to use another creature to figure out the nature and effective radius of its ability."

"Sixteen, didn't you want to work? I will let you handle this," Miss Mirror said.

"Me?" Han Sen was shocked. This was too dangerous of an endeavor, so he had no intention of trying it out himself. He would just pick some workers to go for him.

It was surprising that Miss Mirror was actually letting Han Sen handle this, though.

"You have a problem with that?" Miss Mirror inquired.

"Nope. What people should I use, though?" Han Sen asked.

"Choose some workers to go. There are many of them, but you can only select a maximum of ten Dukes. You can have ten Marquises, too," Miss Mirror said.

"Sure," Han Sen agreed.

"Then it is settled. Get to work, and I will await your good news." Miss Mirror smiled.

"Don't worry, my Lady. I will not disappoint you," Han Sen answered.

When Han Sen left, Night Wind said, "My Lady, is it suitable for Prince Sixteen to be the one to handle this? If something happens to him, what will we say to the King?"

"I can handle that. Now, Red Cloud has lost most of her power. You will have to be in charge of the stone field. Be careful," Miss Mirror said.

Han Sen went to the stone field and selected a few people, including Ning Yue. Although it was only a test, who knew how dangerous it could turn out to be.

Because Han Sen needed to confirm how effective the stone was, he would have to send people close to the stone. The closer someone was, the more danger they would be in. Han Sen planned to keep Ning Yue as far away from the stone as possible. Hopefully, he wouldn't be affected by the stone.

If the furthest person was affected, then everyone in the base was already in range of the stone. In that case, it wouldn't matter who was or wasn't participating in the tests.

Han Sen put together his operation swiftly. He split his twenty nobles into ten pairs, one Marquise and one Duke per team. He instructed each team to stand at a different distance from the stone. The closest team to the stone was inside the warehouse. The other teams were outside the warehouse. He spaced the teams out at regular intervals, positioning Ning Yue far in the back.

Then, all Han Sen needed to do was watch the changes unfold within the ten teams. High-level members of Spring Rain observed the proceedings, making careful records of everything that happened.

After a single night, something occurred to the team that was nearest the stone, but it was different from what had happened with Red Cloud. They didn't drop a level. Instead, they leveled up.

The Marquise became a Duke, and the Duke became a King.

It wasn't as much of a surprise as when Red Cloud was reduced to King class, but it was still shocking, all the same. Now everyone was curious if the stone could be used to level up beyond King. If they could use the stone to turn a King into a deified, that would be pretty wicked.

Even if the stone couldn't level people up that far, bringing Dukes up to King class was exceptional. If he could use those powers safely, and there were no adverse side effects, Han Sen thought he could raise a King class army. That would be a force to be reckoned with.

Han Sen didn't allow the two leveled up people to leave their position. They remained inside the warehouse, waiting for more changes to occur.

By the third day, no further changes were observed in the two people in the warehouse. The second team outside had been affected, though. Just like those of the first team, they had leveled up.

Ever since that rock had been found, all the creatures that touched it leveled up once. Only Red Cloud had been knocked down a peg.

Han Sen went to check out the ten teams each and every day. He also had a chance to speak with Ning Yue. Han Sen found the experience to be chilling, though. Ning Yue was really girly. It wasn't just his body anymore; his personality had changed, too.

Han Sen could scarcely believe that this was the Ning Yue he used to know. Ning Yue never used to be afraid of anything, but now he really was sensitive like a girl.

"I was affected by that sword." Han Sen would never forget Ning Yue's face when he said that. It was like a woman that had just been married, but her husband was killed immediately after. He looked so desperate and helpless; he was pitiful.

Chapter 2421 Losing Control

Han Sen felt a chill. This was no longer funny.

Ning Yue's mental endurance was almost as good as Han Sen's, but Ning Yue had been dramatically affected by the green sword. Han Sen didn't know what to do with the changes that were occurring.

Ning's Yue body, his genes, and even his personality had undergone a shift.

Han Sen couldn't believe that Ning Yue now dressed entirely in pink and his personality had suddenly become so very sensitive. He was very cowardly now, and he had lost all of his decisiveness. He didn't look like Ning Yue anymore.

Han Sen even wondered if Ning Yue's soul had been taken by a woman.

"What is up with this xenogeneic space? Why are there so many weird things going on?" Han Sen frowned, and he subconsciously stepped farther away from the stone. He did not want to end up like Ning Yue.

The excavation of the stone fields continued. It took another seven or eight days for something strange to happen again. Someone managed to dig up a big rock that was leaking blood and had a hand coming out of it. The hand managed to break free and kill a dozen workers. It didn't stop until Night Wind appeared and killed it.

Han Sen's experiments were still going on, too. Four groups had been affected thus far. They had all leveled up once, but only by one level. They didn't level up after that, and no one else had leveled down, either.

Now that Han Sen could confirm the effective radius of the stone, he could mark out a danger zone around the warehouse. But he didn't call the ten teams back in. They still remained in their places, continuing the test.

For now, no one could be sure if the stone might begin acting differently. Either way, the experiment wasn't going to stop.

Han Sen didn't enter the warehouse to look at the rock, but it seemed like the stone was benefitting everyone who got close to it. But after the one anomaly of what happened to Red Cloud, Han Sen wasn't going to risk being careless.

Just like usual, Han Sen called the ten teams over. After questioning them, he planned on going back to his room to eat with Bao'er. But Falling Leaf informed Han Sen that Miss Mirror wanted to see him in her office.

"Miss Mirror has something important enough to call me in now?" From what Han Sen could tell, the digging job was being shoved forward as fast as possible. And they kept encountering problems. Miss Mirror had gone to the stone fields on her own, so if she had come back seeking Han Sen, he surmised something must have happened.

Han Sen went to Miss Mirror's office as he was instructed to. He knocked and entered. When he saw Miss Mirror, his greeting died on his lips.

"You…" Miss Mirror had ended up like Red Cloud. She didn't have that scary, mysterious presence anymore. Her lifeforce was weak. She was like a King now, that was certain. She was no longer deified.

"Yes, I have become King class." Miss Mirror looked calm, but Han Sen could still see the profound sadness behind her eyes.

It looked like downgrading from being a deified being had been quite the gut-punch for Miss Mirror. He respected the strength of her mind, but even a strong person like her would be shaken like this.

Han Sen went silent. Then he looked at Miss Mirror and asked, "What can I do?"

He knew Miss Mirror wouldn't ask him to come and see her for no reason. There were also limits to what she would tell a fake prince like him.

Miss Mirror's eyes were steady. "Reinforcements are on the way. It will take them two weeks to arrive, and we are losing control of what is happening here. It has escaped my grasp, and something even worse might soon occur."

Han Sen's face looked glum. For a strong woman like Miss Mirror to make such a confession meant that things were really bad. It was almost unimaginable. Things must have been far worse than Han Sen himself expected.

"Why don't we just stop digging for now and leave this place? We can wait for backup to get here," Han Sen suggested quietly.

Miss Mirror shook her head. "It is too late. Before I left the stone field, we dug up another statue."

Han Sen froze.

"A second statue like the one in the warehouse?" He asked, staring at Miss Mirror.

"It was different. This time, it was a genuine statue. It has a thousand eyes and hands, and each eye has four pupils." When Miss Mirror spoke of it, her breathing quickened. Her emotions were clearly still unstable.

"Because of that statue, you became King class?" Han Sen asked.

Miss Mirror nodded, and then she shook her head. "Within half an hour after digging up the statue, I dropped from being deified. But Night Wind, who was inspecting the statue with me, was fine. The other workers were fine, too. So, I cannot confirm that I fell because of the statue."

"In that case, we really should move. We should abandon these efforts, stop excavation, and get out of here," Han Sen said.

Miss Mirror shook her head. "I told you, it is too late. Look at my eyes."

"What the hell happened to your eyes?" Han Sen demanded. When he looked closer into Miss Mirror's eyes, what he saw shocked him.

Miss Mirror once had beautiful eyes that looked like phoenixes. Her pupils had been black, but now they were red. And furthermore, the pupils were split in half. The four red pupils were a deeply unsettling sight.

"Are those pupils similar to the statue's?" Han Sen asked.

Miss Mirror nodded. "Everyone who saw the creature, including me and Night Wind, look like this. If we stray too far from the statue, we'll act like addicts who need a fix. The further away from the statue we go, the stronger the feeling grows. Our desire to dig in the stone fields becomes irresistible. You have to keep digging to scratch that itch. The only way to satisfy the urge is to plow. It is the only thing that makes us feel better."

Han Sen's face looked gloomy. Everything about this place was way too scary. Even deifieds were affected without knowing how or why. Han Sen couldn't ensure his own safety in that place.

"What can I do for you?" Han Sen asked again. The situation was beyond everyone's control. He wasn't sure that he could be of any help.

If he could have chosen, he would have left the xenogeneic space. The further away he got, the better.

Miss Mirror started to answer, but suddenly, the office's doors were banged open. Night Wind rushed in.

Han Sen looked at Night Wind's eyes. His pupils had turned red, and he too had a case of the double-trouble pupils.

"What happened?" Miss Mirror asked, looking at Night Wind.

"We unearthed stone doors in the stone field. They're huge, as if they lead to some giant, ancient city," Night Wind explained in a strained voice.

Chapter 2422 Scarlet Eye

Night Wind's face was tight and worried, and he had also brought a video back with him.

When that video was played, Han Sen understood Night Wind's expression.

The beginning of the video showed a stone path, which must have been the road that had been dug up.

Han Sen didn't know how they chose where to start digging, but it clearly wasn't a random decision. They had somehow figured out exactly where to start digging.

The Hell had controlled large-scale dig sites. When Miss Mirror and her people arrived, they quickly reduced the scale of the operations. Now excavation was being conducted in three locations, and the one in the middle had to have been where they began.

As the video went on, it revealed many complicated stone paths that branched off until the stone road opened up to reveal a large room. There, Han Sen found himself looking at the statue Miss Mirror had mentioned.

It was ten meters tall. It wasn't very big when compared to some of the statues Han Sen had seen before, but it was pitch-black, and it had the same texture as the rocks around it.

The statue featured a man sitting with his legs crossed. His arms were crossed, as well, making an X shape. The eyes of the man were just as Miss Mirror had described. There were two pupils in each, and they were red.

Behind the statue were many arms and hands. They formed together to create the large shape of a torch. Every hand also featured a red eye with two pupils.

Looking at the statue was disconcerting. It was like there was an endless tide of weird eyes were staring out of the screen. Han Sen was only looking at them through the video, but even so, he got goosebumps. A chill passed over Miss Mirror and Night Wind as well.

The video didn't hang around the statue for long. It moved forward, revealing something that was even more surprising.

Beyond the statue, the stone path vanished into a cave. It was a rough hole that looked like it had been dug by bare hand or claws.

The walls of the stone tunnel were smeared here and there with blood. Claws and talons were carved into the surface of the tunnel. As the video progressed, more and more blood was revealed.

The blood slowly took over every surface, turning the black cave red. The sight made Han Sen's stomach crawl.

"That cave couldn't have been dug by hand, right?" Han Sen couldn't help but ask.

Although the Extreme King didn't give much respect to the workers, they only hired people who were at least Marquises. Those people were considered strong within their own races. Their weapons might not have been legendary treasures, but they should have been decent. Even if they didn't bring their own tools, the Extreme King would have provided them with xenogeneic treasures. They wouldn't have had to use their hands to dig that tunnel.

But based on the marks and scratches left behind, the tunnel was obviously the work of claws and hands. It hadn't been dug out with tools.

Miss Mirror and Night Wind looked at the video with perplexed stares. They didn't answer Han Sen's question.

Han Sen knew it was true even without their confirmation, though. He looked at the video for a bit longer, and he soon saw a dead Marquise with the head of a cow. Instead of hands, there was only a twisted mass of gore at the end of the man's arms. Bits of bone protruded through the scraped flesh.

Seeing this scene, Han Sen couldn't stop his imagination from replaying what had happened. The cow-headed man had dug frantically with his hands, injuring its fingers on the hard stone. And yet, it didn't stop. It kept on digging and digging with frenzied energy. Eventually, the man's hands had been ground to nubs. He had bled out and died.

The video didn't stop there, and the gristly sight replayed itself over and over. Han Sen saw more and more dead bodies scattered throughout the cave.

They were all in the same position. They leaned forward, pressing their destroyed hands against the walls. Some had shredded their palms, whereas others were missing entire arms.

Despite having died, they still maintained their digging positions. Their faces looked very passionate as if they were excited about what they were doing, but amidst that passion, there was also the presence of fear. It was a terror that lay deep in their bones.

Han Sen couldn't explain all the emotions he saw etched across those dead faces, but his stomach clenched and a cold sweat beaded across his back.

The eyes of the dead workers were all open, exposing their dual red pupils.

The stone path was no longer really a path. It was like a long grave dug out with blood. So many Dukes and Marquises had died up and down that stone path. And the further the path went, the worse the sights were.

At the end of the video was a stone door. Just as Night Wind said, the double door looked like the entrance to a city. Both sides of the door were crimson, like they'd been made of solidified blood. There were also many semi-circular marks across the door—scrapes left behind by fingernails.

The door was ten meters high, and because they had dug right up to the surface of the door, only rock surrounded the doorframe. It was impossible to see what was beyond those doors.

But what lay before the door gave Han Sen chills.

Many of the workers were stretched out before the door like people trying to escape from the demons of hell. Their dead arms were extended painfully in front of them, trying to reach some non-existent salvation. Their nails were broken and their bones were chipped. The blood on their hands had dyed the door, but none of them had been able to open the door.

The workers had lasted so long, but they had all died before this door. Blood pooled around the bodies before the evil door. The door stood solid and unmoving, like the entrance to hell itself.

Night Wind's face looked terrible. "They are all dead. No one is left alive, and they had all gone insane by the end. They just kept digging and digging. Those rocks are hard, and they are incredibly difficult to dig, even with tools. When they used their fingers to dig, they began bleeding quite quickly. But when the blood touched the stone, it was almost as if the stone softened. They could dig it up, but it still hurt them. They kept digging until they bled out."

Night Wind's voice trembled, even though he was a deified that had witnessed many life and death scenarios. What he had seen would give even him nightmares.

"This place is cursed." Han Sen felt sick. He had the urge to just grab Bao'er and flee.

Although they had the red bird with them, there was something that was simply wrong about this place. Even Miss Mirror, who was a strong deified, had been affected. There was every chance the red bird might not escape whatever power was doing these horrible things.

"Run! We must run! We cannot stay in this horrible place any longer," Han Sen decided. He was going to leave this place, no matter what. He would leave, even if Miss Mirror sought to stop him.

"Your eyes!" Miss Mirror suddenly whispered in dread, looking at Han Sen's eyes. Fear filled her face.

"What happened to my eyes?" Han Sen's heart jumped. He knew this was bad.

With no hesitation, Han Sen waved his hand to cast a water mirror so he could look at himself.

At that moment, Han Sen felt like fear had sunk deep into his bones. His black eyes had turned red, and furthermore, a fissure was running down the center of each pupil. The circular pupils became gourd-shaped, and they were slowly splitting in half.

Chapter 2423 Contagion

"I've been infected with whatever this is!" Han Sen realized grimly, and a stark chill rolled through his body.

He had no idea how or when he contracted this creepy condition. Until Miss Mirror pointed it out, he hadn't even realized that the strange power had managed to sneak into his body and infect his eyes.

Miss Mirror and Night Wind stared at him in astonishment. Han Sen had never visited the stone path, nor had he looked at the statue with a thousand eyes in person. But now, there was no denying that each of his eyes had two red pupils. That could only mean one thing: the power was contagious.

If it really was contagious, then that meant it was game over for every person in their camp. Even the reinforcements heading their way would be at risk.

Han Sen reacted instantly. He turned around and ran out of the office, then he grabbed the guard outside and peered deeply into the man's eyes.

The guard was about to shake him loose, but Miss Mirror and Night Wind came out to stop him.

"His pupils haven't changed." Han Sen looked into the eyes of a few more guards. Their eyes were perfectly normal.

The next second, Han Sen pulled out his phone and called Falling Leaf's number. It rang twice, and then Falling Leaf picked up the phone. She only answered the voice call, though, so there was no video.

"Falling Leaf, is Bao'er nearby?" Han Sen asked.

"Yes," Falling Leaf answered.

"Turn on your video chat," Han Sen said.

"Why?" Falling Leaf asked without turning on the video.

"Just do what he told you to," Miss Mirror said.

"Okay," Falling Leaf answered. She turned on her video chat, and her image appeared on Han Sen's screen.

Falling Leaf's hair was a bit messy, and her clothing was misbuttoned. Han Sen had no idea what she had been doing with Bao'er all alone.

But that wasn't important. Han Sen stared at her pupils and noticed they were normal. The colors were still the same, and there was only one pupil in each eye. Han Sen sagged a little in relief.

"Dad!" Bao'er was sitting on the sofa, holding a pair of dice in her hands. Her voice sounded so sweet as she called out to Han Sen.

Bao'er's eyes looked normal. That made him feel even safer. "Bao'er, stay in the room and play with Falling Leaf. Don't go anywhere, and wait for me there, okay?"

"Sure, Dad." Bao'er nodded.

Han Sen turned his attention back to Falling Leaf. "Falling Leaf, keep the door shut and don't go anywhere. Don't let anyone in, either, unless it is me."

Falling Leaf didn't answer. She looked at Miss Mirror, who was still standing next to Han Sen.

"Do as he says," Miss Mirror said calmly.

"Sure." Falling Leaf nodded in agreement.

Han Sen turned off the phone and spoke to Miss Mirror. "Find someone with unchanged eyes. We need to conduct a test."

Miss Mirror looked at Night Wind. Night Wind vanished without a word. A short time later, Night Wind re-appeared in the office again, pushing two people in front of him. They were two of the workers that Han Sen had positioned within range of the stone statue. One of them was Ning Yue, and the other was the man he had been teamed with.

Because Ning Yue had been farthest from the warehouse, he and his partner were the first people that Night Wind had run into.

"You stay here." Han Sen pushed Ning Yue out the door of the office and closed it. He pulled the Duke before the computer and restarted the video. He made sure that the Duke watched the entire thing.

Han Sen, Miss Mirror, and Night Wind stared into the Duke's eyes. After the Duke saw the statue with a thousand eyes and a thousand arms, the man's pupils soon began to turn red. Seconds later, the color had deepened to a rich scarlet. Then the pupils started to split. In minutes, the Duke had red eyes just like Han Sen.

Han Sen didn't need to say anything. They all understood what was happening. Merely looking at the videotape containing an image of that statue could infect them with whatever cursed power that structure contained.

Han Sen opened the door and let Ning Yue inside the room. His eyes were still fine, and there were no new changes there. He was able to confirm that when Han Sen asked.

"No matter how you see that statue, you will be infected by its power." Han Sen frowned. He used a few of his powers to explore his own eyes and figure out why they had changed, but there was nothing he could learn. As far as Han Sen could stretch his senses, the eyes felt normal. They didn't seem to be under the influence of any foreign power.

Even the Dongxuan Area couldn't determine what had happened to his eyes. It was like his eyes were the same as usual.

But Han Sen could feel the same urges that Miss Mirror had described. He had a sudden impulse to head for the stone field. It was like an old smoker who hadn't smoked all day; he desperately wanted to go out and buy a pack.

Luckily, Han Sen had a stable mind. He was able to resist the impulse. If his mind had been weak, he would have run into the fields already.

The Duke screamed. His eyes turned red, and he started to gasp. He made an unnatural, swallowing sound, then turned to rush out of the office.

Night Wind grabbed the Duke and pinned him to the ground. He used a substance chain to keep him locked in place.

The Duke fought like mad as he tried to shake the substance chain loose. His entire body shook like a junkie in need of a fix. His tears and snot began to drip onto the floor.

"What do we do?" Han Sen asked, looking at Miss Mirror and Night Wind.

Things were going bad very quickly, and this wasn't something they could run away from. Complaining about the situation would be useless. They had to figure out a way to get free of this mess.

"Maybe our answers lie beyond those stone doors. We might have to go there to find a solution to our current problems," Night Wind said.

"Have you tried destroying the statue with a thousand eyes and a thousand hands?" Han Sen asked.

"I have tried to break it, but I was unsuccessful. That statue is harder than the average black rock. Our powers cannot damage it," Night Wind said.

"It looks like the stone door is the only way for us to proceed, then. The urges are getting stronger, and even with our powerful wills, we won't last forever. We can't wait for the reinforcements to get here. Let's head to the doors while we still have control of ourselves." When Miss Mirror made the decision, she didn't sound hesitant. Her voice was firm and controlled.

"Sure. Let's go to that stone door and take a look." Han Sen nodded. He wanted to see the thousand hands and thousand eyes statue, too.

They didn't have any evidence that the infection could spread person to person if the video wasn't involved, but at this point, who knew how the infection might be transmitted? If Bao'er and Ning Yue caught whatever this was, that would be bad.

Plus, Ning Yue was already infected with something. It had become hard to tell if he was a man or a woman, and his personality had changed radically as well. The Ning Yue that Han Sen had known was gone.

Now that Miss Mirror had made her decision, she immediately took action. Han Sen, Night Wind, and that Duke followed her to the stone fields.

Red Cloud had fallen to King class, so they left her behind at the camp. She hadn't seen the statue yet, so for the moment, her eyes remained normal. Instead of coming with them and putting herself at risk, Miss Mirror instructed her to take charge of the camp while they were gone.

Chapter 2424 Du God City

The stone path was exactly the same as the video depicted. It was unremarkable in the beginning, and Han Sen and the others reached the statue with a thousand hands and a thousand eyes.

But Han Sen could clearly feel that the closer he got to the statue, the stronger the strange impulses became.

When Han Sen laid his own eyes on the disturbing statue, the feeling was strong enough to make even him shake.

As the countless eyes seemed to examine him, Han Sen felt as if a ghost was actually staring at him. The feeling was a hundred times greater than what he felt when he had watched the video. It felt like an endless stream of ghosts was going to come right out of the hands to devour him.

Han Sen activated his Purple-Eye Butterfly, hoping to view the secrets behind the statue.

The purple pupil claimed Han Sen's eye, becoming four spinning petals. Han Sen took a deep breath and turned his gaze on the statue.

At that moment, Han Sen felt like he was seeing a demon from hell itself. Before he got a good look at it, pain lanced through his right eye. A wet feeling slicked over his palms, as if his hands were covered in blood.

Han Sen's face changed. He forced himself to continue looking at the statue, but then he realized that the sight was about to blind him. He jerked his gaze away, not daring to turn back toward the statue with his Purple-Eye Butterfly still activated.

"Are you okay?" Miss Mirror and Night Wind looked at Han Sen.

"I used a trick of the eyes to look at the statue, but it almost blinded me." Han Sen lowered his hands, which he had used to cover his face. His eyes were red and dripping with bloody tears.

Luckily, Han Sen's blood was crystallized. Otherwise, he would have lost so much blood that he would have died.

"Stop looking. And don't use your eye skill to examine it again. If my guess is correct, this statue is related to some sort of eye god. Its powers are directly linked to vision. If you use an eye skill to look at it, that's like asking for death," Night Wind said.

Han Sen nodded and remained silent. He followed Miss Mirror down the path.

After moving around the statue, they came to the stone cave that had been smeared with blood. It looked just as it had in the video, with more blood and gore appearing the farther they walked. Eventually, they found the door at the end of the cavern.

The Duke that was bound by substance chains screamed again. He tried his hardest to rush to the stone door. If Night Wind hadn't held the Duke back, he would have smashed into the door hard enough to burst open his own skull.

The stone door was shut tight, and they had no idea what lay beyond it. Han Sen didn't dare to use his Purple-Eye Butterfly again, though, so he had to inspect it with his own eyesight.

The urge to go to the stone door had grown stronger, but luckily, the three of them had strong wills. They wouldn't lose control of themselves like the Duke.

But the urges grew stronger as time went by, and it was only a matter of time until their wills snapped. It would take a god to hold back these impulses forever.

The stone door had no lock or handle. It was shut tightly, almost seamlessly, and that was that. Countless Dukes had tried to dig into it to no avail. The door had been impervious to their physical attacks.

Night Wind and Miss Mirror swapped glances, and then Night Wind started to gather up power. They wanted to follow their original plan of forcing the stone door open.

Han Sen stood next to Miss Mirror. His right eye was still red and swollen, and occasional sharp jabs of pain still radiated from it.

Night Wind moved his substance chain, which hovered over the ground like a black sheet. Answering his call, it slipped into his hand and manifested as a black sword.

When Han Sen saw the sword that Night Wind was holding, he noted that it gave him the same feeling as looking at an empty night sky. The powers it contained were unpredictable.

Night Wind's eyes froze. The black sword in his hand struck the middle of the stone door, and the swirling darkness slammed against the door's surface like a dark horizon touching the ground. He struck the door repeatedly with the full force of his substance chain, but every time the darkness came in contact with the door, the darkness shattered like a crashing wave. All the while, the stone door refused to budge. Night Wind's power could incinerate an entire planet, but the door seemed unaffected.

The rocks around were all broken by the dark blade, revealing the edges of the doorframe, but the door did not open. They could, however, now glimpse what surrounded the door beyond the doorframe. The door was set into a city tower.

The city tower was built with black bricks. The bricks looked a lot like the black stone that was everywhere in the tunnel, but they were much harder. Even Night Wind's chain power could only leave scrapes across them. The scrapes he left behind looked like cat scratches.

As the power of Night Wind's sword tore away more of the black rock surrounding the door, Han Sen saw three words engraved above the door. Han Sen recognized those three words. They were written in the common language of the universe.

"Du God City,"

"Du God City! This is Du God City?!" Night Wind screamed. Even Miss Mirror looked dumbfounded.

"What is Du God City?" Han Sen asked Night Wind. He had never heard of this place before.

Night Wind's emotions had risen until he was almost hysterical. He lost all the composure a deified individual should have carried, but he didn't seem to notice. His eyes blazed as he stared at the three words above the door. "The legends say that the Ancient God had a powerful city in ancient times. That place was called Du God City. Because the people of the Ancient God were born deified, they couldn't level up further. Those who went to Du God City, however, often had the opportunity to rise above the deified level."

"All this time, everyone thought it was just a legend. No one could confirm that Du God City actually existed. If this is the real Du God City of the Ancient God, then that explains why so many weird things have happened to us. And perhaps there is a chance for us to become stronger here."

Night Wind looked at the door very excitedly. He seemed to have forgotten the danger that they were in. Han Sen couldn't blame Night Wind for his elation, though. Even when Sacred had been in power, not many elites had been able to reach the last step.

Even the horrendously powerful Ancient Water God hadn't been able to rise above his deified status. Instead, he ended up as blood rain that moisturized the world.

For the vast majority of deified elites, going through the geno hall to become a god spirit had a practically microscopic chance of success.

If Du God City was a method in which one could become a god spirit, that would be tempting for any deified.

Deified elites were still just people, and they could get sick and die. They were not immortal; even Sacred Leader had been searching for the key to immortality. It was natural for deified elites to want this.

"If Du God City can turn people into god spirits, then Ancient God wouldn't be one of the three most powerful races," Han Sen said with a frown.

Miss Mirror looked at the three words and said, "Du God City is just a legend. This city has the words Du God City written on it, but there's no proof that it's actually the city of our legends. If it was the real Du God City, why would it be buried here? We need to think about this. We need to be careful."

Chapter 2425 Broken City

"We can't get into the city. Talking about it is useless," Han Sen said, looking at the undamaged city door.

Night Wind's power was strong, and it far exceeded Han Sen's capabilities. Han Sen didn't stand a chance of opening Du God City's door if Night Wind had failed, and Miss Mirror had fallen to King class. They really didn't seem to have any options.

Night Wind's heart jumped. His sword of darkness slashed again, but this time, he wasn't targeting the door itself. He turned his attention to the rocks all around, planning to dig out the entire tower that the door was set into.

Han Sen and Miss Mirror stepped back and watched. Since the door was impassable, they couldn't think of any alternatives. Night Wind's plan was a desperate, last-ditch effort, not a well thought out strategy.

The dark substance chains kept whipping into the black rocks, and the rocks were shattered and swept away. More and more sections of the tower were revealed.

Han Sen didn't know how many floors the tower had once possessed, and that was because the tower had actually been cut in half. It looked like the whole building had been slashed by an enormous sword. The stone pillars in the front were all chopped off. The pillars fell smoothly from tall to short, as if it had been a very tidy cut.

The stone pillars were thicker than a water tank. There were multiple lines of pillars, and each line contained a dozen of them. The three of them stared up at the broken tower with wide eyes.

Night Wind wasn't one of the top deified in the universe, but he wasn't weak by any measurement. Attacks backed by his full deified power were only able to leave small scratches on the city's bricks. Cutting a single brick would be far beyond his abilities.

With that in mind, it was difficult to imagine the sort of power that would have been required to cut clean through this entire tower. Even thinking about it was frightening.

In the beginning, Han Sen wasn't very hopeful that they would be able to enter Du God City from above. Surely such a large and powerful city would have some sort of bai sema or restrictive power in place. This wasn't the sort of place that you could just climb over a wall to get into.

But now, the tower was broken, and the restrictive properties of the place must have long been abandoned. That meant gaining access would be easier than Han Sen had imagined.

The upper half of the city tower was missing. Night Wind slashed the rocks in various directions, but he couldn't find the other half of the tower.

The bottom half of the tower was filled with rubble, and so Night Wind swung his dark substance chain. He moved the stones out of the way, clearing a path so the three of them could enter the tower.

There was little to see in the half of the tower that remained. A statue had once stood in the tower, but the upper half had been sliced through and taken away with the top half of the tower. The part of the statue that remained appeared to be sitting, and its legs were crossed. The three of them couldn't tell what sort of statue it might have been originally.

The shattered remnants of stone beasts lay scattered around the statue. They had fallen, breaking across the floor. Judging by where they now lay, it was clear that they had once stood guard on either side of the statue.

"It looks like a pretty savage battle was once fought here, but if that is true, how come we haven't found the corpses of the creatures that must have died here?" Han Sen asked with a confused tone of voice.

"Maybe we have. We've dug up a few severed arms, remember? Those limbs were ridiculously dangerous. Even once they had been amputated, the arms still managed to kill many of our workers. That certainly shows how scary the people involved in this battle must have been. Even their limbs possess indestructible power," Night Wind said.

Miss Mirror frowned. She looked toward Du God City and said, "If this is really Du God City, then this must be the sacred place for the Ancient God. Even the Extreme King have believed that Du God City was just a legend, not a real place that actually existed. The Ancient God have protected this city very seriously. If other creatures wished to attack Du God City, then the Ancient God surely would have fought back. But I've never heard any stories of the Ancient God having a battle on this scale."

After pausing, Miss Mirror said, "Based on what we're seeing, this is a ruin of a god spirit's battleground, probably from the very first era. How did the Ancient God claim it? The Ancient God might have the word 'god' in their title, but they are not actually gods."

"Maybe we're making assumptions about what happened here. This might not be the ruins of a god spirit's battleground," Night Wind said.

"Even if this isn't, a fight like this must have shocked the entire universe. There is no way no one knows about this." Miss Mirror shook her head.

Han Sen thought and said, "Maybe Du God City really did exist, and it was just a forbidden place that was sacred to the Ancient God. But this city was already destroyed in the very first era. Maybe that is why no one has actually seen Du God City; maybe the Ancient God themselves don't even know where to find it."

"That is possible. The Ancient God and the Very High are always so secretive and mysterious. Those two races already existed back in the Sacred era, and they were already very powerful. But they were suppressed by Sacred back then. They weren't as famous as they are right now." Miss Mirror nodded in thought.

"If Du God City already existed in the era of the gods, and it was destroyed at some point afterward, does that mean there are secrets here that are associated with what it takes to become a god?" Night Wind sounded very excited.

Han Sen shook his head. "Maybe not. For Du God City to be destroyed like this, it probably means that the Ancient God failed. Maybe the secret inside Du God City was already stolen? This might just be an empty city now."

Night Wind understood this line of reasoning, but he still held hopes of plundering Du God City. He said, "No way. There must be something inside this city. Otherwise, why are other powers trying to fight their way into the city?"

"It's hard to say," Han Sen said quietly.

In truth, Han Sen also thought that there was something inside Du God City. But that item could be something very different from the secret to becoming a god. Perhaps some frightening people had survived the grand battle and were now deliberately luring people inside.

Han Sen had a bad feeling about this place. They had found a stone that could turn a deified into a King, and a statue that had a thousand hands and a thousand eyes. Whatever was inside this creepy place, it wouldn't be very nice.

"Let's head inside for now," Miss Mirror told Night Wind. Night Wind went back to breaking up and hauling out the rubble.

The whole of Du God City was buried under an avalanche of stone. Even the structures and streets were all buried by rock. If Night Wind and the others wanted to proceed, they would have to move the stones.

Luckily, all the rocks in the city had already been reduced to shattered rubble. There weren't big chunks like what they had found outside the door. Because of that, they didn't need tools to break up the rocks into smaller chunks. They just had to haul out the shattered stones.

With Night Wind's powers, moving mountains wouldn't have been difficult, so hauling away some rubble was really easy. He didn't dare use his power to remove all the rubble, though. He was afraid of breaking something valuable buried under the stone. Also, on the chance that something was still alive and sleeping within the city, he didn't want to wake it up.

After the experiences that they'd had in recent days, even a deified elite like Night Wind would treat Du God City with an appropriate level of respect. He wouldn't attempt anything stupid.

Night Wind guided his dark substance chains, sliding aside rocks that were a dozen meters wide. After going past the tower, they found themselves in a plaza. Night Wind kept digging, removing one hundred meters of stone before coming to a stop. He stared at the place he had just dug up.

Chapter 2426 Big Sword

Han Sen and Miss Mirror carefully followed Night Wind's gaze. Nearby, there was a big sword sticking partially out of the rubble.

The sword's handle was one foot wide and two feet tall. They couldn't tell how long the blade was because the blade was plunged deep into the ground of the plaza. Only eighty centimeters of it could be seen.

The sword was fairly rusty, and it was covered by a layer of grey film. A grim expression passed over Han Sen's face as he looked at the weapon. It gave off a powerful, murderous aura.

The handle was shaped like a bamboo branch, and there was no actual handguard protecting it. The handle connected straight to the blade of the sword itself. It was double-edged, and there were strange symbols engraved down the center of the blade. They looked like snakes or vines or something. With so little of the blade visible, it was difficult to tell exactly what they were.

Night Wind sensed something dangerous about this half-buried sword, which was why he had ceased digging. All he did was stare at it.

Han Sen could feel the power simmering from the sword. It was like there were a thousand angry spirits struggling, twisting, and screaming within its blade.

But when he looked closer, he couldn't actually detect anything threatening about the weapon. It was huge, but other than that, it was ordinary and covered in rust.

Night Wind lifted his sword of darkness again and approached the big sword slowly. He was so careful that it looked like he was walking toward some sort of terrifying, deified elite rather than a rusty sword plunged into the earth.

Miss Mirror and Han Sen stood back. They were now King class. If Night Wind couldn't handle this threat, there was nothing they could do to even the odds.

Night Wind had to force himself to take every step. This entire place was just too weird, and there was something ominous about the way the sword was plunged into the ground. It was entirely possible that the sword harbored some mysterious, frightening power, like the two statues they had encountered.

But thankfully, when Night Wind reached the sword, the weapon didn't react to his presence.

Night Wind didn't touch the sword. He used a night substance chain to remove the rocks behind the sword. He dug another path around the sword, and the sword remained in place. Nothing happened.

Miss Mirror frowned and studied the sword. She seemed to be considering their options.

"It looks like the sword isn't going to attack. It might just be a weapon that they left behind." Night Wind looked at the sword, his eyes flashing.

If it really was a weapon from the era of the gods, then perhaps it was some relic that exceeded the strength of a deified weapon.

"My Lady, should I try to pick it up?" Night Wind asked, looking at Miss Mirror. Although Miss Mirror was King class now, Night Wind still really respected her. He wasn't going to speak disrespectfully to her or talk down to her because of her level.

"Whatever power drew us here, it isn't this. Let's not move it. Continue digging a way forward," Miss Mirror said quietly.

Han Sen's greedy personality usually drove him to take every piece of the treasure he could find, but in this place, not even he was willing to be careless. He agreed with what Miss Mirror said. It was best not to touch it for now. This place was cursed, so perhaps something fouler had yet to occur.

But Night Wind disagreed. He thought for a moment and said. "If this is a weapon that was left behind during the battle between gods, perhaps it will help us search this city."

There was some truth in Night Wind's words. If they could free the sword, they might be able to use it as a weapon.

The sword must have been extremely powerful back in the day. If they could control the weapon, perhaps it could sort out many of the issues they had yet to face.

For instance, the sword might be able to break the statue of a thousand hands and a thousand eyes. If they were able to do that, perhaps they could remove the red-eye powers.

If they could use the sword to remove their infection, then it wouldn't be necessary for them to keep exploring the city. Instead, they could merrily wait until their reinforcements arrived.

Miss Mirror was still a little hesitant. Whether they took the sword or not, both options had pros and cons. It was a gamble either way. Winning the bet would have fantastic rewards, but if they lost, it would make their situation even worse.

"Let's keep on going." Miss Mirror didn't allow Night Wind to touch the sword. If there was a gamble, they might be on the losing end. If they did not gamble, they would neither win nor lose.

If the choice had been up to Han Sen, not even he would have tried his luck with that sword. It was far too risky, he believed.

The most important reason he didn't want anything to do with the sword, though, was because of what had happened with Ning Yue and the little green sword. The green sword had been much smaller, and it had turned Ning Yue into someone who was neither a man nor a woman.

If Han Sen grabbed that big sword, God only knew what might happen. Perhaps it would turn him into a eunuch. That was unthinkable.

Although Ning Yue was really girly, at least he still had a penis.

Night Wind didn't insist, though. It seemed as if he still acknowledged Miss Mirror's authority. Even though he held a different opinion, he didn't go against Miss Mirror's will.

The three of them proceeded around the sword as Night Wind continued to remove the rubble from a path in front of them. As they went, Night Wind's excavation revealed many more gouges and deep slices that had been carved into the plaza.

A sword mark was carved meters deep into the hard ground paved with black stone. The black rock was amazingly sturdy, but it had been cut open like tofu. Pieces of the broken stone had flown everywhere, so it was scary to imagine how strong the wielder of that power must have been.

"These sword marks can't have been made by the person who left behind the big sword, can they? I wonder who used it." As Han Sen observed the sword marks, he couldn't stop thinking about the buried sword.

The woman dug up by the Hell had only been deified like Night Wind.

But when Night Wind's power struck the plaza, it barely left a scratch. Compared to the meters-deep clefts made by some ancient weapon, the difference was staggering. They were not on the same level.

Miss Mirror and Night Wind were thinking along the same line, but they had already decided not to touch the sword. There was no reversing that decision now.

Night Wind was leading them all forward when suddenly, a ding noise sounded. Night Wind's dark substance chains looked as if they had struck something, and they shattered into darkness.

"What did we find this time?" Han Sen asked, moving to get a better view. The dark substance chains had broken against a stone wall, and despite hitting the wall with considerable force, the chains hadn't damaged it.

The wall was covered with engravings, but since they could only see a small section of the wall, they couldn't tell what the engravings represented.

Night Wind moved very fast as he cleared out the rubble around the wall. A short time later, the entire stone wall stood exposed before them.

The wall looked like a floral screen, but it was much bigger than the average floral screen. It was one hundred meters long and three meters high.

Han Sen looked carefully at the carvings on the screen, and when he did, his face changed.

Their eyes were drawn to the center of the screen. At first, they thought it was nothing, but when that section of the wall was viewed from the far left, the image resolved into something very strange.

Chapter 2427 Six Pictures

There were pictures of the wall, and to Han Sen's surprise, they all looked humanoid.

The figures had hands, legs, and heads, just like humans. Oddly, though, they didn't have faces.

Where there should have been noses, eyes, and mouths, there was empty space instead. They were blank and faceless men.

Han Sen wasn't weirded out by the sight. After all, he had seen many kinds of weird creatures before, so a few carvings of faceless people wasn't enough to shake him up.

The disturbing thing about the pictures was the scenes that they depicted.

The one-hundred-meter screen held six pictures. The first picture showed a broken city tower. In front of that tower stood a few men without faces. One of the faceless men was using a sword to attack the tower.

That picture showed the backs of the faceless men. Their faces weren't visible, but when he thought about it some more and took it all in as a whole, Han Sen's gut clenched and goosebumps flared up across his skin.

"Oh, sh*t! These faceless people in the painting cannot be us, right?" Han Sen stared at the first picture.

He could only see the back of the faceless man who was cutting down the tower, but the scene reminded him strongly of when Night Wind had been clearing rocks from around the city tower.

There were another two faceless men watching, and a fourth man was lying on the floor. That was obviously Han Sen, Miss Mirror, and the Duke they had brought with them.

No matter how Han Sen looked at it, the picture seemed to represent their attempt to enter through the stone door. The people inside the carving were faceless and their figures weren't terribly distinct, which was the only thing keeping Han Sen from fully confirming that his theory was correct.

Han Sen and Miss Mirror looked at each other, then turned their attention to the second picture. The carving still featured four faceless figures with their backs turned. Not far from the figures, a sword was lodged in the ground.

Han Sen didn't think that this picture required much interpretation. It was clearly depicting the moment that they had discovered the gigantic, rusty sword that had been stabbed into the ground.

But the third picture, without a doubt, was them standing in front of the screen. Three faceless men were examining the drawing on the screen. Only one faceless man was lying on the ground, and it really did look just like them.

"Hum! Who's playing this trick? Come on out!" Night Wind shouted. His sword of darkness slashed repeatedly at the screen.

Obviously, unless the person who created the pictures on the screen was a prophet, there was no way those carvings could have been drawn before their arrival.

The only possibility was that someone had imbued that screen with some sort of power, and when they arrived there, it generated the scenes that were visible across the carving.

Night Wind's dark substance chains struck the screen and shattered again, leaving no trace of their attack on the screen's surface. The screen was as hard as a deified treasure.

"Don't waste your energy. Let's look at the rest of the picture for now," Miss Mirror said.

Night Wind's attacks were useless. He lowered his hands and joined them in examining the carvings.

Han Sen understood what Miss Mirror meant. The third picture represented their current situation in front of the screen, but there were another three pictures. If the carvings were already carved prior to their arrival, then those three pictures might predict what would happen next.

If the pictures failed to predict what was to happen or if their predictions weren't accurate, it would prove that someone had been playing a trick on them. That would mean that the screen held no prophetic power, and they didn't have to be afraid of its contents.

Han Sen looked at the fourth picture. The fourth picture still featured four faceless men, but they were now facing a tree. And this time, they didn't all have their backs turned.

A faceless man lay on the floor, and two of the others had their backs turned, but the last faceless man was showing his faceless face.

One of the faceless men with their backs turned clutched a sword. The sword was pierced through the faceless man that was facing the front of the picture. Blood ran down the blade.

"Is this predicting that we will kill each other?" Han Sen wondered.

Night Wind looked at the fourth picture and frowned. Miss Mirror had no reaction, and she merely moved on to look at the fifth carving.

The fifth picture didn't contain four faceless men. There were only three. One of them was lying on the ground, and the other two were in the process of strangling each other. From the picture, it seemed as if the faceless man on top was succeeding in suffocating the man below.

"That is rubbish!" Night River grunted.

This was a prediction that they would kill each other. Night Wind really thought someone had to be doing playing tricks on them, attempting to give them a scare.

Again, Miss Mirror showed no reaction. She moved on to look at the final, sixth picture.

The sixth picture was even weirder. There were only two faceless men left. One of them was on the ground, and the other knelt with their hands folded as if in prayer.

In front of the praying man, there was a statue with one thousand hands and one thousand eyes. It looked just like the statue they had seen before upon the stone path.

"Something must still be alive here. It's changing the pictures to mess with us," Night Wind growled, giving the pictures a look of disdain.

Han Sen knew why Night Wind was having such a strong reaction. He wasn't trying to point out how ridiculous the pictures were; he was just trying to prove his loyalty.

Those four faceless men had no faces, and they couldn't be identified by their body shapes, either. It was impossible to tell who was who.

But the faceless man who held a sword had clearly attacked the others, and the Duke they had brought with them was clearly the man lying on the ground in all the pictures.

Only one of the figures in the pictures used a sword. Night Wind also used a sword, and he was good at sword skills. The faceless man who held the sword had to be him, and that was why he was dying to prove his loyalty to Miss Mirror.

If what happened in the pictures came true, no matter who Night Wind attacked, things would go very badly for him.

He didn't know that Han Sen was a fake Prince Sixteen. Killing Prince Sixteen or Miss Mirror, who was the King's right-hand and sister, would have consequences that he didn't even want to consider.

Deified beings were very strong, but compared to the combined might of the Extreme King, a sole deified criminal was nothing.

"It doesn't matter if the person doing this is a god or a ghost. If he cannot come out, then that means he is scared of us. Night Wind, let's keep going," Miss Mirror said smoothly. Her pretty face was still serene. She didn't seem to care about the contents of the carving one bit.

Han Sen wasn't very concerned about it, either. Just like Miss Mirror said, even if someone alive was actively altering the carvings, that person wasn't daring to attack them outright. Their unseen enemy had to be scared of something, and that made them feel a little safer.

Chapter 2428 Sleeping Place

Night Wind obeyed the command and deployed his substance chains to clear the rubble behind the screen. The three of them hauled their junkie Duke along with them, moving around the screen and proceeding forward.

Blood came from every orifice of the Duke's body. He wasn't dead yet, but his prospects weren't looking good. That was especially true of his eyes; they had turned entirely red, and even the whites of his eyes had been consumed by the new color.

Night Wind focused his attention on clearing the road ahead. After he cleared the path for some distance in front of them, he suddenly stopped. He looked at Miss Mirror and said, "Miss Mirror, should we change the direction of our travel?"

"Why?" Miss Mirror asked Night Wind.

Han Sen was curious about this, too. He had no clue why Night Wind had made this suggestion.

Night Wind sighed and said, "The third picture predicts that we will reach a tree. But comparing the height of the figures to the height of the tree in the picture, it suggests that the tree is very large. It would be a hundred meters tall, at least. Moving a tree like that out of our path could be difficult."

Han Sen understood Night Wind's rationale now. The fourth picture seemed to indicate that they'd encounter a tree, and that tree couldn't be moved. If they changed course ahead of time to avoid the tree, though, the prediction would be incorrect. If they avoided the tree successfully, that would suggest that it really had been someone messing with them.

"Let's switch directions, then." Miss Mirror nodded.

With Miss Mirror's approval, Night Wind changed direction and resumed digging.

If someone was trying to trick them, it would be easy for that person to guess their course since they were digging in the direction that the power was drawing them. The source of that power was their destination, after all. The mysterious trickster might have seen them, known where they would go, and then carved the pictures accordingly.

If someone was rattled by those pictures, they would probably find some sense of security in following the road they had already intended to travel. And if they encountered that tree, they would be terrified. The trickster's plans would come together rather neatly in that case.

Night Wind made this suggestion to keep that from happening. If the trickster tried to move the tree to intercept them, he was bound to leave behind some evidence of what he had done. The trickster's plan would fail.

Night Wind moved quickly, digging at a very fast pace. After ten minutes, they had followed Night Wind down a trench that was a few hundred meters long.

But Night Wind suddenly came to a standstill. The rigidity in his back made it obvious that he had frozen midstep, not just stopped for a breather. He stood there, staring ahead as if he had seen a ghost. He didn't even lower his raised arms.

"What happened?" Han Sen followed Night Wind's gaze. He saw that Night Wind had cleared half of the rocks, and a small object was now peeking out of the rubble.

When Han Sen saw what it was, his face paled as well. A twig was rising from the rocks, and several green leaves had sprouted from it. It looked like it belonged to a willow tree.

"How?" Han Sen asked uncomfortably. He peered more closely at the twigs and leaves, and they looked like the ones in the picture.

Night Wind silently used his dark substance chains to remove all the nearby rocks. More twigs appeared as the rubble was tossed away. A few minutes later, a mass of twigs and branches was showing—the whole tree had been unearthed.

It was exactly the same as it appeared in the picture. It was a hundred meters tall, and it looked like a willow tree. The flexible branches hung low, and the tree was covered with countless green leaves.

The three of them stared glumly up at the tree. They had changed course in a way that should have been unpredictable, but they had found the tree anyway. It was way too weird.

Han Sen inspected the roots of the tree. It was nestled in a flowerbed made of stone, and rich soil covered its roots.

"It doesn't look as if someone moved it here," Miss Mirror said while looking at the flower bed.

"Maybe there are many trees like this. If that is the case, then we were bound to encounter at least one of them. This plaza is probably walled with trees. We would have found one no matter where we chose to dig," Han Sen said after a moment of thought.

"Right," Night Wind replied seriously, and he moved his substance chains to dig elsewhere. He wanted to see if another tree could be found in a different direction.

"Stop digging! There will not be another one of these trees." Miss Mirror waved her hands to stop him.

Night Wind wasn't going to question Miss Mirror, but he did look at her with confusion. He was waiting for her to explain that declaration.

Miss Mirror looked at the tree and said, "I think this is a requiem tree."

"A requiem tree!" When Night Wind heard that, he paled slightly. He looked at the tree with an expression of disbelief.

Han Sen looked at Miss Mirror and Night Wind with confusion. He had never heard of a "requiem tree" before.

Miss Mirror knew what Han Sen was wondering, and before he had a chance to ask, she explained, "When I visited the Ancient God, I saw a requiem tree once. The Ancient God say that these requiem trees are where their people go for their final slumber. The legends say that the Ancient God need to be buried next to them so that their souls can find eternal rest."

"If you've seen a tree like this amongst the Ancient God, and now there is another one here, it doesn't sound like these things are terribly rare. Why would you say that there won't be another one of these trees around here somewhere?" Han Sen asked, his brow furrowed. He was obviously missing something.

"I don't know how many requiem trees there are in the universe, but the one I saw before was only two feet tall," Miss Mirror said. "The master of that requiem tree said they only grow to a height of about three feet, anyway. Then, they stop growing. If an Ancient God dies and is buried beneath the requiem tree, it will absorb the Ancient God's body. The tree will then grow one more foot, no more and no less. Do the math. If this tree has grown so high, how many Ancient God bodies were here? Do you think there will be multiple trees that have reached this height?"

"This is really a requiem tree?" Han Sen stared up at the tree, suddenly seeing its prodigious height in a whole new light.

Ancient Water God's body had moisturized a few systems, bringing life to many planets and even making primitive races level up.

If Miss Mirror was speaking the truth, then that requiem tree must have absorbed a few hundred Ancient God bodies, at the least. It must have taken in an unbelievable amount of energy. It was hard to imagine how strong the tree must be. But Han Sen couldn't feel the appalling lifeforce that should have been radiating from the tree. To him, it was little more than an ordinary plant.

"It is easy to determine whether or not it is a genuine requiem tree. If it is a requiem tree, the tree will have a requiem tree hole that holds Ancient God powers." Miss Mirror walked around the tree, and it wasn't long before she came to a stop. She stared at one specific location on the trunk.

Han Sen and Night Wind walked over to Miss Mirror. They followed Miss Mirror's gaze and found her looking at a tree hole that was the size of a man's fist. The interior of the hole was jet black, and Han Sen's eyesight wasn't good enough to pierce the gloom and see if anything was inside.

"That is it! This is a requiem tree hole. I can't tell if a requiem tree egg is there, though," Miss Mirror murmured to herself as she looked at the tree hole.

Chapter 2429 Requiem Tree Egg

"Trees make babies? Is this requiem tree a xenogeneic?" Han Sen asked in confusion.

Miss Mirror shook her head. "I don't know if the requiem tree is a xenogeneic, but it doesn't produce babies. The tree egg is essentially a collection of the tree's resin. The more energy a requiem tree takes in, the more resin it can produce. That resin gathers inside the tree hole to become an orb. It looks something like an ant egg. They are called tree eggs."

"I was told a story of a man who managed to get a requiem tree egg that was around the size of a fingernail. He was only a low-tier King, but he used the requiem tree egg's power to advance all the way to deified. Ever since then, requiem tree eggs have become the most sought after treasure in the entire universe. But the ability of requiem tree eggs to help a King class being rise to deified is only of secondary importance. People are more interested in them because they can be used to help deified individuals ascend." Miss Mirror paused and went on to say, "But considering the battle that happened here, I'm afraid the requiem tree egg inside the tree hole has already been taken away."

"Maybe it's still here. Let me see," Night Wind said. Then he launched himself into the air and flew up to the tree hole. He hovered right in front of it, putting his eyes right near the tree hole to peer inside.

"This tree hole is strange. I'm looking right into it, but I cannot see anything inside," Night Wind said to Miss Mirror.

"Requiem trees are resting trees for the Ancient God. They have unusual powers, so not even deified elites can see what is inside the tree hole. Luckily, requiem tree holes aren't dangerous. Just put your hand inside," Miss Mirror said.

Night Wind hesitated, but he did as he was instructed. Just in case, he shrouded his hand in night power that would defend against anything evil that might have taken up residence inside the tree hole. Then he placed his hand into the hole.

She said the tree hole wasn't dangerous, but who knew if some toxic bug had decided to make its home there or something. This entire city felt cursed, and so by Night Wind's reasoning, bizarre toxic bugs weren't out of the question.

Seeing Night Wind place his hand in the hole, Han Sen felt nervous on his behalf. If there was something weird inside the tree hole, and it pulled Night Wind inside, that would actually be kind of scary.

But after Night Wind plunged his hand into the hole, a grin crossed his face. He shouted, "There is something in here! It is circular, and it feels like a stone. I don't know if it is a requiem tree egg, however."

"Touch it with your hand. If it is a requiem tree egg, your hand will smell like resin," Miss Mirror said.

Night Wind touched the item and then pulled his hand out of the hole to sniff it.

He didn't actually need to bring it up to his nose. Even at the bottom of the tree, Han Sen and Miss Mirror could smell that pleasant, grassy fragrance. Just the smell alone was enough to make Han Sen feel like his body was waking up after a long winter. He felt so relaxed, it was like his cells were coming alive.

"Not bad! That is the smell of a requiem tree egg. I can barely believe that the requiem tree egg is still there. Pull it out!" Miss Mirror said.

Night Wind immediately reached into the hole again to pull the tree egg out. But when he tried to draw his arms back out, they stopped abruptly. He couldn't seem to get the egg out.

"The egg is too big! I can't get it to fit through the hole," Night Wind said. He pulled out his sword of darkness to slash the tree hole in an attempt to widen it.

But when the sword of darkness hit the bark of the tree, it only left a small white scratch mark behind. There wasn't the faintest semblance of a firm dent.

"Trying to cut it is useless! The requiem tree is the resting place of many members of the Ancient God. Even a tiny requiem tree is impervious to most powers and gear, and this tree is enormous," Miss Mirror said.

"Can he not crack the egg into pieces and bring them out like that?" Han Sen said.

"The egg will be harder than the requiem tree itself. How is he supposed to break it?" Miss Mirror rolled her eyes at Han Sen. Then she turned to Night Wind again. "How big is the tree egg?"

"Very big…" Night Wind said, his voice strangely distracted.

"How big is very big? Big like a brain?" Han Sen asked with a laugh.

A fingernail-sized requiem tree egg turned a King into a deified. If there was a brain-sized requiem tree egg, it would probably start a war that would consume the entire universe.

"If your brain is one meter across, then yes, it is sized like your brain," Night Wind said quietly. Han Sen noticed that the man's eyes were very wide.

"What? That large?" Han Sen asked hoarsely. His eyes almost popped out of his skull. He could scarcely believe how big that was.

"Are you sure that is a requiem tree egg and not something else?" Miss Mirror asked with shock. Not even she could believe it.

No one had ever heard of such a giant requiem tree egg before. Even small eggs were considered priceless relics among deified elites, but this…

The thought of a one-meter long requiem tree egg was enough to make people's blood boil and their hearts leap in their chests. The power of something like that was beyond imagining.

"I don't know. You should confirm it yourself, Miss Mirror." Night Wind came down from the tree hole. He still looked somewhat shell-shocked as he spoke to Miss Mirror.

It was weird to see such an expression on Night Wind's face. But when seeing a requiem egg such as that, even a deified was bound to have difficulty managing their excitement.

A requiem tree egg could strengthen deifieds. A requiem tree egg the size of a plum could increase a deified's level by quite a bit. If a deified refined a tree egg of this magnitude, they could easily become a god spirit.

Miss Mirror flew up to the tree hole. She put her hand in and began feeling around the tree hole. Seconds later, her jaw hung slack in wonder.

"It really is a requiem tree egg. I cannot believe that such a large egg exists." Miss Mirror finally said after ten minutes of fiddling. Her expression said that she wasn't entirely sure how she should feel.

"It really is a requiem tree egg," Han Sen and Night Wind said together.

"Yes, and it is also circular. It is somewhere between a meter and two meters across." Miss Mirror couldn't help but sigh. "It is a shame that the tree hole is only the size of a fist. If it was a small requiem tree egg, we could take it out. Now we know that there is a tree egg inside and that it is something that would change the universe as we know it. However, we don't have a way to remove it."

"Wait! Maybe there's a way to get it out." Night Wind suddenly sounded exhilarated.

"What? You have a way to expand the tree hole?" Han Sen looked at Night Wind. Miss Mirror looked at him as well, a single eyebrow raised.

Instead of answering, Night Wind used his finger to point at the tree excitedly, and spoke, "Look over there."

Han Sen and Miss Mirror followed his finger. A deep scar ran across one side of the tree. It was a three-foot-long gash, and it was three fingers deep, at least.

"That is a sword mark." Han Sen's eyes brightened.

The sword mark was old, and even though the tree had healed, there was a scar. But based on the angle of the scar, it looked as if it had been delivered by the big sword they had found earlier.

Chapter 2430 Taking the Sword

"If we can grab that sword, maybe we can use it to widen the tree hole and retrieve the requiem tree egg," Night Wind said, his eyes bright with anticipation.

"That might actually work. Maybe someone or something wants us to go back and retrieve that sword," Han Sen said.

The entire scenario seemed a little too convenient, though. They had chosen to leave the sword behind on the road, despite what the pictures on the screen seemed to indicate. Now, they had been presented with a tantalizing prize that would force them to return and retrieve the sword after all. They seemed to be drifting slowly closer to the reality that the screen had predicted.

"I am willing to give it a try. I will go find the sword again and bring it back," Night Wind said to Miss Mirror.

"Go, but be careful," Miss Mirror said, her voice distracted and distant.

"Yes, I will get it done." Night Wind bowed, turned around, and walked away.

After taking a few steps, Night Wind stopped. He looked at the Duke. He thought for a moment and then said to Miss Mirror, "My Lady, this guy isn't going to make it. Why don't I put him out of his misery now?"

Han Sen knew what the man meant. Night Wind was obviously still scared about the prophetic pictures they had seen on the screen. If he got rid of the Duke, however, there'd be one less faceless man. That would mean the prophecy could be proven wrong, and it was nothing more than an illusion.

Miss Mirror nodded. Night Wind picked up the Duke and left.

"Is it wise to let him go?" Han Sen asked, looking at Miss Mirror.

Han Sen thought that Miss Mirror and Night Wind knew more than they were saying, but Miss Mirror hadn't tried to stop Night Wind from leaving. That confused Han Sen.

Miss Mirror didn't move, and her voice was chilly. "You think he would stay if I forbade him from going?"

"You mean, Night Wind will betray us for the requiem tree egg?" Han Sen now understood what Miss Mirror was getting at. If she stopped Night Wind from getting the sword, and Night Wind wanted the requiem tree egg badly enough, what happened in the picture might actually come to pass.

"I don't know for certain if Night Wind will betray us, but when something as valuable as this egg lies in the balance, loyalties can be tested. The requiem tree egg is a treasure that is far too tempting, and there would be few consequences for breaking the rules right now. I have to be careful." Miss Mirror ended with a sigh.

"From what you know of Night Wind, if he really brings back the sword and claims the requiem tree egg, do you think he'd go the extra mile and do… something else?" Han Sen asked.

"I honestly don't know." Miss Mirror shook her head, and then she said, "So, we just need to be prepared. I hope that Night Wind doesn't decide to betray us, but if he does, we need a contingency in place that can keep us breathing. I'm no longer what I once was, remember. I am only King class. If we fight, I cannot hope to beat Night Wind. Our only chance of surviving is if you and I work together."

"Even if you and I work together, fighting a deified elite won't be easy." Han Sen shook his head.

Miss Mirror brushed her fingers across her bangs, smiled, and said, "Even if ten ordinary Kings allied together, their collective power might not be enough to defeat Night Wind. But you and I are different. If we work together, even if we cannot beat him, we should be able to keep ourselves alive."

"I am with you, of course, my Lady." Han Sen smiled.

"Although I have become King class, I still have the mind of a deified. And I understand Night Wind's power. I know all about Night Wind. I will just need you to do as I say. If he really tries to do something rash, we'll hold him back long enough that we can escape." Miss Mirror said.

"I will listen to you, my Lady," Han Sen answered quickly, but he had a different plan in mind.

Things had become complicated. The three of them each had their own plan. Although they all had individual goals, they knew that surviving in such a place would be difficult. But none of them could resist the temptation of the requiem tree egg.

Although Miss Mirror hadn't said anything about it, she obviously had her own thoughts about the requiem tree egg. She just hadn't been obvious about it like Night Wind.

Both of them went silent. Han Sen thought it wasn't a good idea to let the uncomfortable silence grow, so he started talking. "Do you think Night Wind can safely retrieve that big sword?"

"I don't know." Miss Mirror paused. "It definitely seems like something is orchestrating this situation, trying to drive us to fight for the requiem tree egg. Since this entity obviously seems to require the big sword, common sense should tell you that the sword is dangerous. But Night Wind went to retrieve it anyway, and he isn't stupid. Since he insisted on going, he might have an ulterior motive. Maybe…"

Miss Mirror didn't finish her thought, but the look on her face suggested that she was worried.

Han Sen picked up where Miss Mirror had left off, and he said, "Maybe he isn't concerned about the future that the screen seemed to foretell?"

Miss Mirror didn't respond. It was like a silent agreement.

Han Sen went on to say, "If the prophecy is false, then Night Wind is fine with that. If the prophecy is true, then the person wielding the sword should be fine anyway. After all, whoever takes the sword in the prophecy will be the one who claims the egg and survives. The odds for survival are swinging wildly in Night Wind's favor, with how things currently stand. You and I cannot take him down if things go badly."

Miss Mirror nodded. She agreed.

"But there is one thing I don't understand. How can Night Wind be sure that nothing will kill him when he grabs the sword?" Han Sen asked Miss Mirror.

Han Sen wasn't familiar with Night Wind, so he couldn't guess the answer with any confidence.

"Do not underestimate any deified being. Night Wind isn't the most powerful deified, but the simple fact that he reached the deified level still means a lot. Do not be misled by his apparent loyalty and service to me. It can put you on a slippery slope to a painful demise," Miss Mirror said, her voice hard.

Han Sen shrugged. He did not say anything more. He looked back along the path behind them, hoping to see something.

Night Wind should have already returned with the sword by now. If some sort of trap had been laid on or around the sword, he should have already triggered it.

But the ruined city was still deathly quiet. There wasn't a single sound. They had no way of knowing if Night Wind had removed the sword or not yet.

While Han Sen was thinking, a shadow appeared far down the path. It looked like Night Wind's.

Indeed, when the figure drew closer, Han Sen could see that it was Night Wind returning. He had a big sword slung over his shoulder, which looked just like the one they had seen before.

But contrary to their expectations, the sword was only one meter long. The tip was flat as if it had been snapped off. The sword was broken.

That surprised Miss Mirror and Han Sen both, and they swapped curious glances with each other.

Chapter 2431 Tree Egg Comes Out of the Hole

"Luckily, I was able to retrieve the sword." Night Wind stepped in front of Miss Mirror and bowed. He placed the sword down in front of her. The Duke was gone, so it seemed that Night Wind had gotten rid of the man.

"The sword was broken?" Miss Mirror asked, looking directly at Night Wind. She didn't stoop to touch the sword.

It seemed like a pointless question to ask, but there was a deeper meaning to her inquiry.

Night Wind knew what she was asking. He immediately answered, "When I pulled it out, it was broken already. And I couldn't find any pieces of the blade in the surrounding area, either. I tested what's left of the blade, and while I don't know what level it is, it could cut through the rubble like butter."

Han Sen understood. Night Wind had answered three of Miss Mirror's questions. He wasn't the one to break the sword, and the sword hadn't broken recently. Furthermore, the sword power was still inside it.

"Let's see if we can use it to widen the hole in the tree," Miss Mirror instructed Night Wind, still not touching the sword herself.

Han Sen knew why Miss Mirror didn't want to accept the sword; she still didn't know if Night Wind was going to betray her. If he really held traitorous intentions, he would reveal his true self and strike Miss Mirror down as soon as she took the sword.

Miss Mirror didn't want to go against Night Wind just yet, so she didn't want to touch the sword. First, she wanted to see if Night Wind could cut the tree open.

If he was unable to widen the hole, then the requiem egg tree would remain beyond their reach. In that case, they would no longer have any reason to distrust each other, and they'd continue cooperating in order to remove their red-eye affliction.

Night Wind was the strongest one there, so they would need his help.

"Let me see what I can do to free the egg," Night Wind said, and then he approached the opening in the requiem tree. He lifted the sword and slashed toward the hole.

The dark color of the blade spread, and Night Wind's dark substance chain struck the tree hole. The darkness broke and spilled everywhere.

But when the blade of the broken sword slammed into the hole, it bit into the trunk of the tree, splitting the wood in a narrow gash.

"It works!" Night Wind exulted. He pulled the broken sword free and then continued to strike the tree hole. Wood chips flew everywhere, and the fist-sized hole got bigger and bigger.

Han Sen and Miss Mirror simply stood beneath the tree, watching. While the broken sword was capable of cutting the tree, the wood of the tree itself was still incredibly hard. Night Wind was making progress, but only a few centimeters were achieved with each strike.

After slashing at the tree for half an hour, the hole had been expanded to the size of a frying pan's lid. The requiem tree egg still wasn't visible through the hole, of course.

"We're almost there. Try to pull the egg out so that we can confirm that it's genuine," Miss Mirror said from down below.

Night Wind slung the broken sword across his back. He put his hand inside and felt around until he got a firm grip on the egg. Then he pulled the egg out as far as it would go. Only the tip was showing, though, as the hole was too small to pull the egg out completely.

From the part of it that was showing, the requiem tree egg appeared to be transparent. It looked like amber, in that it was tinged with a bit of gold. It looked pretty. It gave off a fragrance that awakened Han Sen's senses, like his body was being rinsed clean by some holy liquid.

"It is a requiem tree egg!" Night Wind said with a grin.

Miss Mirror looked awed. Han Sen had never seen a requiem tree egg before, so he didn't know what it was supposed to look like, but that gold crystal was obviously some good stuff.

Once they had confirmed the nature of the orb inside the tree, Night Wind let the egg fall back into the hole and went back to hacking at the tree trunk using the broken sword. Wood chips and shavings flew everywhere as the hole grew steadily larger.

Han Sen and Miss Mirror looked at each other. They could see the greediness and awareness in each other's eyes.

Such a giant requiem tree egg was the rarest of treasures. They all wanted it for themselves, but Night Wind was too powerful. And Han Sen and Miss Mirror couldn't predict if Night Wind would betray them.

In addition to being deified, he was now wielding that deadly broken sword. If he did decide to turn on them, Han Sen and Miss Mirror would be in a lot of danger.

After another hour of hacking away at the tree, the tree hole was an entire meter wide. It seemed as if they'd be able to pull the tree egg out now.

Night Wind swung the broken sword across his back. He leaned into the greatly expanded hole, using his hands to try to pull the egg out into the open.

Night Wind applied steady pressure, and the egg began to slide steadily, if slowly, out of the hole. The giant requiem tree egg was gold like amber, and the small section that had been revealed so far looked like the narrow end of a chicken's egg.

All three of them froze as they stared not at the egg itself, but at what lay beneath the egg's transparent exterior.

Within that small end of the gold egg, they could see a head. It looked like the head of someone who was either a human or one of the Extreme King.

The head appeared to belong to an eighteen-year-old girl. Her eyes were closed peacefully, and her hair appeared to be gold, but they couldn't tell if that was just the tint of the tree egg or her natural color.

Her eyelashes were long. In that serene pose, she looked like Sleeping Beauty from the fairytale.

"Why does the requiem tree egg have a creature inside it?" Night Wind asked, looking at the tree egg with confusion.

Miss Mirror looked at the tree egg, shook her head, and said, "I don't know. I've never heard of such a giant requiem tree egg. And I've never heard of there being life inside one of them."

"Is the requiem tree a xenogeneic? Can the requiem tree breed and produce life?" Han Sen asked uncertainly.

"Maybe she accidentally entered the tree hole and died, and then her body was covered by resin. Maybe that is how she ended up like this," Night Wind mumbled thoughtfully to himself.

Han Sen's eyes suddenly hardened. He gritted his teeth and said, "Now we have one more person!"

When Night Wind and Miss Mirror heard him, their brows furrowed. The prediction of the six pictures revealed four faceless men. They thought that they had changed things by getting rid of the Duke. When their numbers were reduced to three, they thought they had trumped the prophecy.

But now the tree egg had a human-like creature inside, and that brought their numbers back up to four.

The three of them looked at each other nervously. Night Wind gnashed his teeth. He wanted to push the tree egg back into the hole.

But the tree egg suddenly shone with a golden light, and a wave of power tossed Night Wind away from the egg and the girl it contained. The egg shot out of the hole like a bullet, then fell to the ground where it rolled for a bit.

Now that they could see the tree egg's full appearance, it was just as Miss Mirror had predicted. Two meters tall and one meter wide. It was like a giant amber egg.

A naked, fifteen-year-old girl lay inside that tree egg. Beneath the blonde hair that spread across her shoulders, they could see a tattoo covering her whole back.

"A Nine-Life Cat!" Han Sen thought the instant he saw the tattoo. His nostrils flared, and he barely kept himself from shouting the words.

Chapter 2432 The Prophecy Comes True

"This is rather ominous," Han Sen thought in his heart.

He quickly reviewed the facts. There was a giant requiem tree inside Du God City. The tree contained a giant requiem egg, and there was a girl frozen within that egg, for some reason. The girl had a Nine-Life Cat tattoo across her entire back. Han Sen's mind raced for an explanation, but he couldn't come up with one.

The sight of a Nine-Life Cat tattoo on a woman's back was familiar to Han Sen. This girl's tattoo looked the same as Zero's. It was exactly the same, in fact, and that was why Han Sen was so shocked.

"Is that girl inside the egg Zero's sister? But that doesn't make sense. Du God City fell a billion years ago. How long has Zero been alive? It doesn't seem as if the two of them could be related. But then, why would they have the same tattoo on their backs? Is it the same organization's branding? Blood Legion's symbol is the Nine-Life Cat, but Blood Legion hasn't been around as long as Du God City, and their history doesn't reach back to the time before it fell. That godd*mn old cat… He must know all the answers I'm looking for…" Han Sen was giving himself a headache trying to figure all this out. He wanted to lay his hands on that old cat and string it up. He wanted to torture the feline so that he could learn everything it knew.

Katcha!

A snapping sound suddenly came from the egg, pulling Han Sen out of his thoughts. A crack had formed across the golden egg.

"Is that girl still alive?" Han Sen asked in amazement, slowly taking a single step back.

Miss Mirror, Night Wind, and Han Sen all had the same reaction. After falling back a little ways, they stopped. They couldn't escape now. They hadn't found a cure for their red eyes, and they were sure to die if they chose to leave.

But Han Sen was worried about something a little different. Although he also had red eyes that he couldn't get rid of, he was more afraid that the weird power might be contagious. He didn't want to risk infecting Bao'er or Ning Yue. That was why he had come here. He wanted to find some way to remove the infectious power, and if this abandoned city didn't present any answers, he planned to try getting rid of the red eyes with his super god spirit body.

Han Sen had no control over what was occurring, and he couldn't even tell if it was dangerous or not. He wanted to flee.

But before he had time to turn and run, he heard a humming tone like the sound one might expect from a viola. The giant egg cracked like glass around the form of the blonde girl, then shattered completely.

Seeing the scattered remains of the egg, Night Wind gnashed his teeth and dropped into a defensive crouch. His dark substance chains then shot out to collect all of the pieces of the egg.

The egg had disintegrated and fallen to the ground, but the girl still hung in the air. Her body was curled up in fetal position, and an intriguing scent wafted from her. She smelled like the requiem tree egg, but better. One moment Han Sen thought he could barely smell the scent, and the next moment it was almost overpowering.

"I don't care who or what you are; I have to kill you now!" Dark substance chains circled and writhed around Night Wind's body, and he sent increasing amounts of power into the hand that wasn't holding the broken sword. After charging up his strike for a few seconds, he slashed at the girl.

Night Wind had no choice. If he didn't go forward with this, the red-eye power would drive him insane. The only escape from this fate was to acquire more power.

His sword of darkness tore through the air toward the sleeping girl.

The girl's body looked as if it was shielded by some invisible power. When Night Wind's dark substance chains got within a foot of the girl, they shattered. His power couldn't reach her.

Night Wind roared like thunder and prepared to slash with the broken sword instead. His dark substance chains were unable to damage the girl, so he poured all of his strength into the broken sword.

Since the broken sword was able to damage the requiem tree, he believed it should be able to harm the girl's seemingly delicate skin.

The blade hissed through the air toward her, and it didn't explode like the dark substance chain. He slashed downwards, but the sword moved so slowly. It was like the sword was gradually slicing through some invisible substance.

The sword descended toward the girl's throat. The blade was going to touch her skin.

As this occurred, the girl's eyes moved beneath their eyelids. It seemed as if she was about to wake up. Her blonde hair silently waved and shimmered.

To Night Wind's surprise, the girl's blonde hair rose and wrapped around the blade of the broken sword, stopping the weapon in an instant.

Night Wind stared. The broken sword that could cut through the requiem tree was unable to cut the girl's hair.

Still gripping the broken sword by its handle, Night Wind used his substance chain in an attempt to pull the broken sword out of the entrapment of the girl's hair. He tugged at it a few times, but it didn't budge.

The girl finally opened her eyes. She had gold irises. She looked expressionlessly at Night Wind. Either that, or she was simply looking forward and he happened to be in the way.

Night Wind was a very decisive individual. When he was unable to pull the sword from her grasp, he abandoned the sword and turned to run.

Han Sen and Miss Mirror had started running as soon as Night Wind attacked the girl.

Speaking of running, Han Sen was the best at that. He ran faster than Miss Mirror, and that put him in front.

Miss Mirror wasn't slow, but she was King class. She wouldn't be as fast as Night Wind anymore, either. Night Wind quick sped by her.

Han Sen used his Dongxuan Area, which allowed him to see everything. Night Wind didn't slow down. He was headed past Han Sen like he was teleporting.

But with his expanded vision, Han Sen saw something hit Miss Mirror in her back. She tumbled to the ground with blood bubbling over her lips. And then, all of a sudden, the blonde girl was standing right next to Han Sen. Not even the Dongxuan Area had warned him that she was coming.

Pu-cha!

Night Wind had been moving around Han Sen, and when the blonde girl appeared, he almost bumped into her. He raised his arms to defend himself, but it was too late. The blonde girl was holding the broken sword, and she thrust it into Night Wind's heart with an almost casual motion.

Time stood still. Miss Mirror was on the ground. Han Sen was standing next to the blonde girl, and the blonde girl had stabbed the broken sword into Night Wind's chest. It was just like the fourth picture.

"Was it really a prophetic drawing?" Han Sen wondered. The only thing he knew for sure was that he would be unable to escape the girl. Not even the deified Night Wind had stood a chance against her speed.

Night Wind had been stabbed, and his face hadn't changed a bit. He did not have blood ooze from his chest, either. His body simply melted into the darkness and became formless. Then, he went to space.

The blonde-haired girl was still holding the broken sword in its thrusting position. She did not blink, and she still looked incredibly cold. It was like she had no focus.

But that broken sword's symbols had some golden flames on it. The broken sword was burning like a sun. It was shining with a scary, golden light.

"Argh!" Night Wind had become one with the darkness. Not even the broken sword cut hurt him now, but he screamed when the sun-like gold light shined on him.

His body was fading into the gold light that was like a sun. It only took a second to completely destroy his lifeforce.

Han Sen felt a chill. Night Wind was a deified elite, and he had been killed in moments.

Chapter 2433 Dead Lock

Miss Mirror was severely injured, and she wouldn't be getting back to her feet anytime soon. Blood continued to trickle past her lips, but luckily, her lifeforce still seemed stable. She was wounded, but not dying.

Han Sen turned around and looked at the blonde girl, and he noticed that she had turned around to look at him, too. They stared at each other, only a single step separating them.

"What the hell is happening right now?" Han Sen wondered. His heart was pounding like it was about to jump out of his chest, and he considered teleporting to the sanctuaries immediately.

This blonde girl had just executed a deified elite as easily as Han Sen might step on an insect. Attempting to fight her would be a death wish. Han Sen didn't want to die, so he didn't attempt to fight back or make any moves that the girl might interpret as aggression.

But when Han Sen saw the girl's eyes, he resisted the urge to hop back to the sanctuaries. She didn't look murderous.

Of course, that wasn't the most important reason that Han Sen was staying here rather than fleeing to the sanctuaries. He could already tell that the girl could strike with her sword much more quickly than Han Sen could use the Blood-Pulse Sutra to open a portal. She could cut his head off before he even finished summoning power.

So instead of running or fighting, both of them just stood there. Han Sen didn't move. He was afraid that any motion on his part might cause the blonde girl to attack.

But the blonde girl just stood where she was, not attacking. She looked in Han Sen's direction, but her eyes didn't seem focused. It was hard to tell if she really was looking at him.

Han Sen remained motionless as cold sweat beaded on his brow. The scary girl was as still as stone, and they had been staring at each other for ten minutes.

If they had been in a bar or pub, staring at a beautiful blonde girl for a prolonged amount of time would have been an enjoyable, relaxing thing for Han Sen. Instead, they were in an abandoned city in a cursed land, and Han Sen was anything but relaxed.

Looking at a pretty girl was like looking at a beautiful painting; Han Sen didn't need to touch it to enjoy the experience. But right now, Han Sen had difficulty breathing under the pressure. Every second felt as long as a century.

That girl was pretty indeed. She was like a blonde princess from a fairy tale, but no matter how attractive she was, thinking about how easily she had just killed a deified Extreme King kept Han Sen from calming himself down. Who knew when she might suddenly decide to cut Han Sen in half with a single swing of her sword?

"You should move. Show me a sign. Are we fighting or seeking peace?" Han Sen thought desperately. Sweat was running down his face now. He thought of a million ideas, but the girl was still just looking at him. Her eyes were dull, like she was badly dazed.

Han Sen gritted his teeth. He gradually moved his foot, wanting to step away from her, wondering if he could walk off slowly without disturbing her.

But he had only taken half a step when the blonde girl took one whole step toward Han Sen. She almost bumped into him. Han Sen immediately stopped, which made the girl stop, as well.

Both of them were much closer now. Han Sen could almost feel the girl's breath, and he could smell her perfume again.

Han Sen didn't move, and the girl didn't either. The two of them continued to stare at each other again.

"Oh, my God, what is happening here? Is this girl really a princess? Does she think I am so handsome that she doesn't want to kill me? Does she want to marry me instead? Just tell me if you want to marry me! Don't just stand there doing nothing. It's creepy!" Han Sen thought. If this girl liked him, she should summon her courage and tell him. If she was in love with him, that was totally fine; it was better than killing him, anyway.

If something didn't happen soon, the tension was going to make Han Sen explode. The girl clearly hadn't noticed how rigid and uncomfortable he was. Her eyes were still unfocused. When she stepped forward as he stepped away, it was probably a subconscious reaction.

Han Sen didn't know what the girl would do once she woke up. If she had injured Miss Mirror and killed Night Wind without even being fully conscious, she must be pretty scary.

Then Han Sen remembered something that made it seem even less likely that this would end well for him.

The first four pictures on the screen had already come true. When Han Sen remembered the scene from the fifth picture, his heart began beating even faster.

In the fifth picture, one faceless man had been lying on the ground, and two other faceless men appeared to be fighting. One of them was gripping the other's neck.

Han Sen could guess that the faceless man on the ground represented Miss Mirror, which meant that the fighting faceless men were the girl and himself. If he fought someone with her power, there was no way he could win.

Thinking of Miss Mirror, Han Sen glanced over at her. She was in a much better condition, and her wounds were healing quickly. But she lay on the ground, not attempting to get up or run away.

"Why isn't she running?" Han Sen thought to himself. Then, he understood.

She must have remembered the fifth picture, as well. If the fifth picture came true, she might be the safest by remaining on the ground. If she got up to run, perhaps she would end up as the one fighting.

"So evil," Han Sen thought.

The girl still hadn't moved, but it did seem as if her eyes were starting to brighten. She was slowly starting to wake up.

Han Sen kept thinking, "If those pictures are true, then only two faceless men will exist by the sixth picture. One will be on the floor, and the other will be kneeling in prayer before the statue with a thousand hands and a thousand eyes. I don't know if the one on the floor is dead or alive. If they are alive, then that means either Miss Mirror or I will survive. Only one of us will live, but that doesn't matter… Miss Mirror will be the one who dies. I will be the one who gets out."

Han Sen was confident about this. He was very confident because he had the super god spirit body. He couldn't beat the girl, but he could use the short period of invincibility to return to the sanctuary.

Han Sen continued to think, and Miss Mirror remained on the ground, waiting for some chance. The girl, meanwhile, was looking at Han Sen. None of them were moving. It was like time had stood still, and everything was silent.

Life and awareness were flowing back into the girl's eyes. Only her eyes seemed to change, but somehow, they made her whole body seem different.

She had moved like an emotionless killing machine when she first came out of the egg, but now she seemed like a real human.

The girl blinked, and Han Sen's heart jumped in response. With this girl now awake, God only knew what she might do.

After the girl blinked, she seemed to come back to herself fully. She saw Han Sen, and so she moved. She jumped to him and grabbed him by the neck.

Chapter 2434 Weird Girl

Han Sen felt something very powerful coming his way. His body leaned back reflexively, trying to get away from it. The blonde girl leaped on top of him.

Miss Mirror didn't move as the girl jumped and wrapped her arms around Han Sen's neck, her weight slamming into his chest and taking him to the ground. They both became entangled, just as the fifth picture on the screen had shown.

Han Sen had prepared himself for the inevitable fight, and as they fell, Han Sen's eyes started to turn white as he summoned his super god spirit body.

"Big brother… Wan'er has been waiting for you to come back!" The blonde girl was riding Han Sen hard, and she now wore a beautiful smile. She clutched his face, lowered her head, and kissed Han Sen on the forehead.

Han Sen was stunned. He didn't know what was going on, but the glowing white in his eyes started to recede.

Han Sen was still trying to summon his super god spirit body, but it vanished after the girl kissed him.

Something else disappeared, too; the blonde girl's golden light rapidly faded into nothing. The blonde hair that had shone like a sun was now like a fire that had been extinguished. It darkened until she had a full head of black hair. Even her golden pupils were now as dark as ink.

"I can finally be with big brother again." Wan'er pulled herself back upright, sitting on Han Sen's chest. She looked at Han Sen with her beautiful smile.

That sweet and happy smile made Han Sen freeze. At that moment, she looked so incredibly innocent.

The next second, her eyelids fluttered closed. She looked soft as she slumped down on Han Sen's chest, and a few seconds later, she lost consciousness.

"Hey, hey. Lady, you have it wrong. I'm not your big brother." Han Sen shifted the girl who referred to herself as Wan'er, sliding his arms under her as he climbed back to his feet.

Her skin appeared smooth, and it was very soft. Han Sen could no longer feel her scary presence and power. Her lifeforce had dropped to a tiny fraction of what it had been. Now she was as weak as a commoner in this universe, or perhaps even weaker.

If Han Sen hadn't seen her transform with his own eyes, he never would've imagined that this black-haired girl was the blonde girl who had taken out the deified Night Wind in a single blow.

Han Sen realized that the tattoo of the Nine-Life Cat on her back was now gone. The skin of her back was smooth and white as if the tattoo had never existed in the first place.

"What is going on?" Han Sen frowned. When he scanned the girl, he confirmed that she had passed out, but she was still alive. Her lifeforce was so low that it was concerning, however. It was hard to imagine how she had been able to blast out the scary power she had used earlier.

"Lady, wake up!" Han Sen pressed his finger to her lips to see if she really was in a coma or if she was just pretending instead.

But he quickly pulled his finger back, startled. The girl Wan'er didn't wake up, and her pink skin was bleeding where Han Sen had pressed his finger, as if her skin was fragile and paper-thin.

Han Sen hadn't even used strength. With the strength she had previously demonstrated, there should have been no way for Han Sen to leave a mark on her body, even if he used his full strength. But he had just slightly tapped her lips, and now the skin was broken and bleeding. She was no longer what she had been when she first woke up.

"What is this? What's going on with her?" Han Sen looked at the girl weirdly.

Miss Mirror eventually got back to her feet. She picked up the broken sword and tried to stab Lady Wan'er.

Han Sen tightened his arms around the girl and dodged. Miss Mirror directed a hard stare at him. "What are you doing? Now is the best time to kill her. If she wakes up and becomes that blonde b*tch again, we won't be able to kill her. Then we'll be the ones to die."

Han Sen frowned and looked at the girl. He had thought about doing this, as well.

He knew Miss Mirror was right. The girl's body was like that of an average person right now. A random strike could kill her. This really was their best chance.

If she woke up and engaged her blondie mode, he and Miss Mirror would be unable to touch her. They might be in grave danger.

In the sixth picture, there were only two faceless people. That meant one of them was gone. If they didn't kill the blonde girl now, that meant one of them would have to die. What happened next might be a conflict between Han Sen and Miss Mirror.

Because of all these things, killing the girl really seemed like the best choice. It would certainly sort out many of their current troubles, and it could heighten their chances for survival.

But Han Sen still hesitated. What Wan'er said to Han Sen before she fainted made him think. He didn't think he was actually Wan'er's big brother, but killing a girl who wasn't currently hostile and couldn't fight back was something Han Sen couldn't make himself do.

And there was one thing that really did nag at him. His super god spirit body was supposed to be invincible, but the girl's power had been able to cancel its activation. He was really confused about what had happened there.

His super god spirit power hadn't been destroyed, just pushed back. Han Sen could activate the super god spirit body again, but the girl had done something that he had never experienced before. He cared deeply about what it could mean.

Miss Mirror knew what Han Sen was thinking. She lifted the sword and pointed it at the girl, saying, "Don't get fooled by what she said. She probably knew she couldn't last long, and that's why she said it. She wanted to give you a reason to keep her alive. Shouldn't you know that she isn't your real sister?"

"She isn't my sister, but I can't do it." Han Sen took off his jacket and covered the girl's body.

The girl could have killed him, but she hadn't. Han Sen knew that things were not as Miss Mirror was saying.

"If you cannot do it, then I will do it!" Miss Mirror growled.

"I'm sorry, but there is something I would like to ask her. Let's decide once she has woken up," Han Sen said as he held the girl.

"You are a gentleman, but you seem to have forgotten what the sixth picture depicts." Miss Mirror laughed darkly.

"I didn't forget. But you really don't think that can predict our future, do you?" Han Sen asked calmly.

"I don't know if it can predict our future, but everything predicted by the prior pictures came true. We have to be careful," Miss Mirror said.

Han Sen knew Miss Mirror was correct. He sighed and said, "You should just go. Let me handle this. I will continue to explore. Even if the prophetic picture is correct, it doesn't say that whoever isn't in the picture ends up dead."

"You and I have exchanged minds. You know what my personality is like." Miss Mirror didn't move. She raised the sword and pointed it at the girl in Han Sen's arms.

Han Sen knew Miss Mirror's personality well. She was ambitious, and that ambition compelled her to control every scenario. She wouldn't allow others to dictate what course her future would take. Otherwise, she wouldn't have gone to the stone fields in the first place. She only had to send Han Sen, Night Wind, or even Red Cloud.

"My Lady, can't you see that we are walking right into that prophecy?" Han Sen looked at Miss Mirror. He had never believed in the prophecy anyway.

Chapter 2435 Person in the Stone

Around the same time as the girl broke out of the egg, the human stone in the camp melted like ice. But instead of water, a substance that looked like blood emerged from the melting stone.

The two guinea pigs inside the warehouse witnessed this happen, and they backed away from the stone with wide eyes. They screamed and turned to run, but when their mouths opened, they stopped mid-stride. Their eyes turned red, and a scary presence came out of them.

More of that red blood oozed from the stone. It began to rise from the ground as a vapor, spreading to fill the surrounding air.

All the members of Spring Rain and the workers that were nearby fell under the influence of that invisible power. They all leveled up, their power increasing so quickly that it almost seemed like they were cheating. They increased one level, and their genes grew stronger.

All of the nearby Kings became half-deified, and the half-deifieds actually downgraded to become measly Dukes.

The creatures that had already been affected by the stone didn't change again, but other than those few who had already been altered, there was only one anomaly: Ning Yue. He hadn't been affected in any capacity.

His little green sword groaned, then flew up and landed in Ning Yue's hand. It shone green, bathing him in a protective light.

In Han Sen's room, Bao'er was still playing games with Falling Leaf. She looked up suddenly, and her face grew worried. She raised her hand and summoned a little gourd. The little gourd shone with a weird light of its own, covering herself, Falling Leaf, and the little red bird.

"What are you doing?" Falling Leaf asked, having no idea what Bao'er was actually doing. She saw the shining little gourd, but she didn't notice any of the other powers that were at play.

"Nothing. Let's continue our card game," Bao'er said with a blink.

Falling Leaf made no comment, and they resumed their game. Meanwhile, in the warehouse, the stone had completely melted. A white-haired man with white clothing had been revealed, sitting exactly where the stone had been. He looked pale, and he smelled musty and ancient. It was as if he had been sitting there forever, watching the days and the moons go by, and the stars themselves fall to darkness. Time must have moved like a river for him. It was like nothing in the world could leave a mark on him. The rise and fall of empires were mere moments to a man like this.

He let out a sigh. The man opened his eyes, and then he spoke to himself, "After all these lifetimes, I just want to get drunk with you. Is there any point living in this world without you?"

The white-haired man stood up and exited the warehouse.

The infected creatures of the base, meanwhile, were in the midst of fighting each other. Their levels had increased or decreased, and their eyes had turned red. They became insane and bloodthirsty, trying to kill anyone they could reach.

All kinds of powers were being used across the base. If the base hadn't been built out of the sturdy black rock, it would have been reduced to a ruin by now.

The white-haired man walked through the various pitched battles, but none of the crazed people attacked him. No power dared to land on him. He slid through the base like a ghost, immaterial and untouchable.

The man walked out of the base camp and turned his grey eyes up to look at the stars above.

The buildings behind him began to collapse under the ferocity of the fights, and explosions of power bloomed like fireworks. But the man was wholly uninterested, and he continued talking to himself. "This world is so boring without you."

The white-haired man looked at the base, and his eyes drifted toward Bao'er's room. Then, his calm eyes suddenly looked shocked.

Pang!

Falling Leaf and Bao'er were in the middle of playing card games. Suddenly, a booming noise shook the room, and the walls collapsed like the petals of a flower. But not a single piece of debris came near them.

When Falling Leaf looked outside, her eyes opened wide. The entire base was little more than a ruin. Spring Rain members and workers were all mixed together, fighting and killing each other like they'd been possessed. Dead bodies and torn flesh were strewn about in pools of blood.

"Are you guys crazy?" Falling Leaf shouted. But the crazed fighters paid no heed to her cry. They continued butchering each other in a frenzy.

Amidst the killing, the white-haired man walked gracefully toward them. He moved effortlessly through the destruction, and the violence fell away from him like oil over water.

Falling Leaf's heart leaped inside her chest. She flipped her hand and quickly brought out a dagger. She looked at the white-haired man and said firmly, "Stop! If you step closer, I'll kill you."

The white-haired man behaved as if he hadn't heard her. He kept walking toward the room, peering at Bao'er, who was atop the sofa.

She gave three warnings, but the white-haired man didn't seem to hear her. Falling Leaf had no idea what was going on, but Miss Mirror had commanded that she look after Bao'er and keep the girl safe, and that was exactly what Falling Leaf would do.

She thrust her dagger at the white-haired man. Falling Leaf's entire person seemed to connect with the universe. For a moment she was extending her dagger in an attack, and that moment froze, hovering like an afterimage. Then the afterimage vanished, and the only thing left behind was the sinking feeling of watching yellow leaves fall in late autumn, withered and dying.

That feeling of death flashed by the white-haired man, harmless. Falling Leaf was back where she had started as if nothing had happened. But Falling Leaf's pupils grew smaller. Her assassination skills were top-notch, and her full power attacks were a threat to even deified elites. But this man had simply ignored her attack, and he was still headed for Bao'er as if nothing had happened.

"How is that possible?" Falling Leaf couldn't believe her eyes as she stared at the white-haired man. Her chest constricted with sudden fear.

She had no idea how the white-haired man might have broken her strongest attack. Although he didn't look strong, there was a cold feeling in her stomach. Merely looking at the man gave Falling Leaf the creeps.

The man never looked at Falling Leaf, though. His attention was focused on Bao'er.

Bao'er grabbed her little gourd. Her face looked very dire, and she stared at the man as if he was an enemy.

Boom!

The little red bird on Bao'er's shoulder seemed to feel that it needed to intervene as well. It flew off of Bao'er's shoulder, becoming a scary fire phoenix that hovered right beside the girl. It cried at the white-haired man in warning, but it didn't attack. It actually looked quite afraid of the white-haired man.

"Interesting. Is this a combination of a phoenix and a fish bird? To be able to do this… This is quite interesting." The white-haired man finally averted his gaze from Bao'er to look at the little red bird, intrigued.

Falling Leaf was frozen. She had thought the little red bird on Bao'er's shoulder was a useless pet. But the scary presence it now exuded told her that it was actually a deified xenogeneic.

The next second, an even scarier thing happened. The white-haired man simply reached out and grabbed the fire phoenix out of the air. The bird's fire vanished, and it didn't even have a chance to resist. It returned to being that little red bird in his hands, and it couldn't fly away.

Chapter 2436 Girls Should Not Figh

The white-haired man looked at the little red bird in his hand. It kept squirming, thrashing its wings as it tried to escape the grasp. He spoke to himself, saying, "You really have phoenix and fish bird genes? And it is still so young? Who could do something like this?"

Bao'er looked at the white-haired man. She blinked and said, "Are you going to bully a kid and her pet?"

When the white-haired man heard Bao'er, he turned to her and smiled. Raising his hand, he freed the little red bird. It flapped its wings and quickly hid behind Bao'er, too afraid to reveal itself.

"What is your name?" the white-haired man asked Bao'er.

"Bao'er, Han Bao'er," Bao'er answered seriously. Aside from the times when she was with Han Sen and Ji Yanran, she was rarely so honest.

"Not bad. Say hi to your father for me." The white-haired man nodded to Bao'er, then turned to leave.

"What is your name?" Bao'er asked, looking at the white-haired man's back.

"Tai Yi." The white-haired man didn't look back. He kept on walking. After a few steps, though, his body began to disappear into a ripple in space.

"What are you doing?" Bao'er asked.

"Calling in a debt. It's time that I get back something that doesn't belong to them." The white-haired man's voice echoed through the cosmos, drifting from an increasing distance until it vanished entirely.

Falling Leaf was left trembling. She had never seen someone use a teleportation skill while still sending back their voice. Even King Bai couldn't do something like that.

As Falling Leaf recovered from her shock, someone cried out, calling for aid.

"Help!"

They turned around, and a girl wearing pink clothing was running through in the middle of the fight. She sprinted toward them, screaming and sobbing.

A Duke xenogeneic worker was chasing after her. It had no weapon, and it was reaching for the woman with its bare hands.

Based on how she was moving, the woman seemed stronger than the Duke worker. But she also looked terrified, and she ran recklessly without the will or courage to look back.

Bao'er cocked her head curiously as Ning Yue approached. She remembered Ning Yue, and no matter how much she tried, she couldn't connect this Ning Yue with the powerful person she used to know.

"Help me! Bao'er, help me!" Ning Yue pleaded, running forward like a dog with its tail between its legs.

Falling Leaf was about to stop Ning Yue, but Bao'er hastily told her. "Let him come."

Ning Yue stumbled clumsily into the ruins of the room, and when she got there, she hid behind Bao'er, still shaking. "Too… Too scary! Save me, Bao'er!"

"Ha! Little Miss Ning Yue, you should be much stronger than that lame Duke. What are you afraid of?" Bao'er laughed, looking at Ning Yue as if she was eyeing a fun new toy.

Tremors still ran through Ning Yue's body. Her face looked pale. She really seemed to be rattled.

"Fighting—fighting is wrong! Murder is even more wrong… Plus, I am such a beautiful girl…"

"Ha!" Bao'er couldn't help but laugh. Her eyes smiled like a crescent moon, and she stroked Ning Yue's hair. "Right, right. You are so right. Pretty and cute girls like us shouldn't be fighting and killing."

"I know, right?" Ning Yue frantically nodded her agreement. She still looked to be on the verge of a nervous breakdown.

Falling Leaf didn't agree at all. She swiftly used her dagger to cut the Duke's head off.

"What happened? Why is this happening? Does this have something to do with that man?" Falling Leaf looked around. The killing was taking place everywhere, and she didn't seem to know where to look."

More creatures were toward them. Falling Leaf warned them loudly to stay back, but they didn't listen to her words, and so she had to fight and cut them down.

Han Sen and Miss Mirror were still having a stand-off. Neither of them had yet made the first move.

"Me or her. You can only pick one." Miss Mirror eyed Han Sen, her grip on the broken sword still tight.

"Let's leave here together. This place is so scary; it will be safer if we go someplace with more people." Han Sen smiled.

"Safety depends on what kind of partner you have. I don't want to haul a ticking time bomb around with me, not knowing if it will explode at any moment," Miss Mirror said.

"Then how about you keep going on ahead by yourself, and I will turn back with the girl. Is that okay?" Han Sen said after a moment of thought.

"No. Do you want her to bring harm to my Spring Rain?" Miss Mirror frowned.

"Then I will wait here with her and not go anywhere," Han Sen said.

"No. If you cannot do it, then I will do it for you," Miss Mirror said. She swung her sword at the girl in Han Sen's arms.

Miss Mirror had become King class, but her will and intelligence were still deified. Her slash appeared like a rainbow, not straight, but mysteriously curved. It made it very difficult to tell where the sword was headed.

Han Sen's movements were also difficult to predict, but after a couple of attempts to evade the attack, he was still unable to dodge Miss Mirror's sword. He threw his palm out to intercept the broken sword. He touched its hilt, but not its blade.

The broken sword could cut through a requiem tree, so it was far too sharp to counter directly. Han Sen wouldn't use his own weapon to block the blow. Even a deified treasure might be destroyed by the broken sword.

But when his palm struck the hilt of the broken sword, a sharp pain seared through his chest. A wave of power sent him flying and made his ribs groan under the strain. He tasted blood in the back of his mouth.

"What's going on? Something injured my chest. Is this my own power?" Han Sen thought to himself, but Miss Mirror's broken sword came slashing toward him again.

Miss Mirror was proving why she had been such a powerful deified elite. Her sword skills far exceeded Han Sen's abilities, and she was still extremely strong.

And her sword skills were uncanny. No matter how much Han Sen varied his movement patterns, he couldn't avoid the strike. It was kind of like a Falsified-Sky attack, but this attack lacked Causal powers.

Pang!

Han Sen had to reach out his hand to counter the attack. Like last time, his hand struck the hilt of the broken sword. Another impact thudded into his chest and sent him flying.

Miss Mirror followed him like his own shadow. She kept trying to strike that girl that Han Sen held in his arms.

"Is this your Mirror Spirit Body?" Han Sen asked as he retreated.

"Yes. Even as a King class, I can kill you easily. So don't test my patience," Miss Mirror said warningly.

"So your Mirror Spirit Body can only return attacks that I deal? That's not very impressive," Han Sen said.

"Maybe it's not amazing, but it's enough to kill you," Miss Mirror declared.

"You're willing to kill me?" Han Sen couldn't fall back anymore. He wouldn't be able to avoid the next attack, and he couldn't counterattack Miss Mirror or the broken sword. He turned around and used his body to shield the girl from the blade.

"Don't think that I won't kill you," Miss Mirror said with obvious annoyance, as she stopped her sword.

Chapter 2437 Mirror Area

"My Lady is a princess of the Extreme King, and you are the king's sister. You are the leader of Spring Rain. Are you really going to believe in the truthfulness of this 'prophecy'? Tell me the real reason you want to kill her," Han Sen said coolly as he eyed Miss Mirror.

Miss Mirror didn't continue trying to attack him. She looked at Han Sen for a while before saying, "Prophecies can have very real power. Not many elites can actually predict the future, but there are some. Most notably, the Very High are very skilled at prophecy. They are able to predict events in a similar manner to how the pictures on that screen seem to function."

"But that isn't the real reason that you want to kill her," Han Sen said, shaking his head.

Miss Mirror didn't deny the accusation. "Right now, her body is weak, so weak that any noble could kill her. But the powers that she displayed earlier were very strong. Even Night Wind, a deified elite of the Extreme King, was brought down in a single blow. This strangely fluctuating power reminds me of someone from an old legend."

"Who?" Han Sen raised his eyebrow.

"Sacred Leader," Miss Mirror said slowly.

"How is that possible? Sacred Leader led so many powerful elites. If he had a weakness that was so obvious, I'm sure he would have died many times over," Han Sen replied skeptically.

If Sacred Leader's body was that weak, he would have had great difficulty keeping himself alive, let alone ruling an empire. He commanded a multitude of people with incredible power; such people would have discovered his weakness quite easily. There was no way Sacred Leader could have led Sacred for so long with such a blatant flaw.

"Of course, it is only a legend. Although Sacred Leader's body was sometimes weak, he was always wearing a magical set of armor. Even those closest to Sacred Leader never saw his face. Plus, he was extremely skilled with the powers of time and space. Ambushing or trapping him would have been impossible. I don't know exactly what it means, but this girl's power is very abnormal. Maybe she is somehow connected with Sacred Leader. Even if they aren't related, I must still take the precaution of killing her. I am not risking my life for her." Miss Mirror looked at Han Sen and went on to say, "You should leave now, as this is your last chance. If you try to stop me, I will kill you. I won't let you escape if you oppose me here."

Han Sen had questions he needed to ask the girl, many of which he desperately wanted to know the answers to. He didn't want her to die just yet.

"I am sorry, but I'd like for her to live," Han Sen murmured quietly.

Miss Mirror said nothing. She merely slashed towards Han Sen, letting her actions speak for her. She had made a decision. And if Han Sen was going to stop her from killing the girl, she would no longer try to avoid injuring him.

Based on the power in Miss Mirror's attack, it seemed that she was no longer playing around. And Han Sen knew it. He took this threat seriously. His Purple-Eye Butterfly kept spinning, analyzing Miss Mirror's sword skill.

He could use his Dongxuan Area to stop Miss Mirror's area and power, but that skill was part of his identity as Dollar. If Han Sen used it in this situation, then his identity would be exposed. He didn't want to have to do that unless it was absolutely necessary.

Miss Mirror's sword skills were strangely unpredictable. They were not Causal sword skills, but they were still hard to dodge. As he saw Miss Mirror coming, Han Sen moved again to avoid her blade.

Han Sen's movement was fast. He was faster than Miss Mirror, but somehow, the broken sword still hit him and sliced into his arm.

Han Sen had the undying Original Water King Body, so even if his body was cut open, he could heal immediately. Normal injuries wouldn't really hurt him. When he took a strike from that broken sword, however, his Original Water King Body wasn't healing.

"It looks like this broken sword might have been quite the infamous weapon. Even the Original Water King Body cannot stand against it. You better think about how much you really want to stop me. The next hit won't land on your arm," Miss Mirror promised, and then, she swung her sword. The sword arced like a rainbow, seeming to disappear mid-swing, like usual.

"I understand your sword skills." Han Sen moved, and Miss Mirror's attack hit nothing.

Miss Mirror froze. She swung her sword at Han Sen again. Many sword rainbows came down, but Han Sen was like a butterfly. He fluttered back and forth, weaving between the sword rainbows. He was still holding the girl, though, and so he couldn't fight back. But he dodged each and every one of Miss Mirror's attacks.

"This must be a combination of your Mirror Area and your sword skills. Sword skills that go across the Mirror World can't really be dodged. It flips the world, allowing an attack to travel through space that shouldn't exist. That keeps your opponents from discerning where a sword is coming from because they can't follow the blade along its path. It is a very powerful move, but it is useless against someone like me," Han Sen said, continuing to speak calmly as he dodged Miss Mirror's attacks.

Miss Mirror finally forced herself to accept that Han Sen could see through her Mirror sword skills. Continuing to attack would be pointless, so she lowered the sword.

"Can we actually talk now?" Han Sen didn't want to fight with Miss Mirror. Doing that would lead them right into the prophesied scenario.

Miss Mirror gently laughed. "You think you have escaped my Mirror sword skills?"

"Have I not?" Han Sen asked.

"If you insist on getting in my way, I will let you see the real Mirror Area," Miss Mirror said, before lifting the sword in her hand again.

Han Sen knew Miss Mirror was an annoyingly powerful woman, so he hadn't let his guard down when she stopped attacking.

"I will use this sword to blind your left eye." Miss Mirror swung with the broken sword, but this time, no sword rainbows appeared, twisting sinuously through space itself. This power, power slammed into Han Sen with no warning.

Pain shot through Han Sen's left eye like it had been stabbed by a needle. Blood squirted from it, then the eyeball exploded. Han Sen didn't even see how she had managed to get his eye.

"This attack will break your right eye," Miss Mirror said simply, then she slashed again with her broken sword.

Han Sen focused, pushing his Purple-Eye Butterfly to the max. He still couldn't identify the power that was pushing the broken sword.

A ripping sensation came from his right eye, as if it had been cut by a blade as well. It exploded like the left eye, and blood poured from the socket.

Because of the broken sword's weird power, his eyes kept bleeding. The bleeding wasn't going to stop, and his blood wouldn't crystallize, either.

"Let go of that girl, or my next strike will kill you," Miss Mirror said in a hard tone.

Han Sen was now blind, but that didn't affect what he could feel. He still looked incredibly calm as he said, "I should have known this was the real Mirror Area. My eyes reflected you and your sword, so you could break my eyes using your mirror. Now that my eyes are destroyed, what else will reflect you and your sword? How are you going to kill me?"

Miss Mirror sighed. "You are too young. You think that's all my Mirror Area can do?"

After that, Miss Mirror raised her hand, and an old mirror appeared next to her. It was as tall as she was. That old mirror was pointed at Han Sen, and it reflected Han Sen's image.

Miss Mirror thrust her blade toward the mirror. The broken sword shoved through the mirror, but the mirror wasn't broken. Han Sen felt a surge of pain in his chest, and a bloody hole appeared not far from his sternum.

"What a powerful Mirror Area! Thank you for not killing me, my Lady." Han Sen knew this sword Miss Mirror wielded could have penetrated his heart or sliced his head off.

Chapter 2438 Jadeskin Area

"I am giving you one last chance," Miss Mirror said, her voice as harsh as a winter wind.

She didn't want to kill Han Sen. After all, he was the master of the Mirror Spirit Eye Ring. Killing him would deal a lot of damage to the Mirror Spirit Eye Ring, which would affect Miss Mirror herself very severely.

But although she really didn't want to risk damaging the ring, she wanted to kill Lady Wan'er even more. If Han Sen refused to walk away, then she needed to beat Han Sen badly enough that he was no longer in any condition to protect the girl.

"If the last picture is true, will it be me and Han Sen in front of that statue with a thousand hands and a thousand eyes?" Miss Mirror wondered.

"My Lady, you overestimate your Mirror Area's power." Twin trails of blood streaked over Han Sen's cheeks as he held Lady Wan'er. He looked very calm.

"Right," Miss Mirror snapped, looking a bit angry. She had never been this patient with anyone before. If another person had tested her temper like this, even if they were deified, she would have struck them down.

She kept enduring Han Sen's stubbornness and rudeness, but he obviously didn't appreciate that she was going easy on him. It was very frustrating for Miss Mirror. She used her sword to slash at the mirror.

Han Sen moved the moment Miss Mirror swung the broken sword. Her broken sword entered the mirror, but it couldn't hurt Han Sen this time.

"Your Mirror Area can assault my shadow within the mirror you create. Since that shadow is linked to my real body, you can hurt me. But that all depends on you being able to touch my shadow. My shadow in the mirror, however, moves with me. I can control it, allowing it to dodge your broken sword," Han Sen said.

"You are smart. You have learned much about my Mirror Area in such a short amount of time," Miss Mirror complimented him. Her face remained impassive. "But even if you do know that, so what? The mirror world is the opposite of our world. You can control your shadow, but it won't move as naturally as your own body, because every move you make in this world will be reversed in the mirror. And on top of that, you have been blinded. You cannot see your shadow in the mirror, so how do you expect that you will be able to dodge me?"

"Try to attack me again, and you will see for yourself how well I can still dodge." Han Sen's composed expression hadn't changed.

Clearly, Miss Mirror wasn't fond of Han Sen's attitude. She slashed her sword in the direction of the mirror with one of her rainbows.

The power of the attack headed for Han Sen's shadow in the mirror. Han Sen needed to control his movement, guiding his shadow around the incoming attack.

Han Sen's shadow responded instantly to his every movement, but the reversal of the mirror made it very difficult to control.

Normal people used mirrors to do their makeup or brush their hair. When performing a task that required a person to make extremely precise movements, people who weren't very experienced with working in mirrors would often make mistakes. Han Sen wasn't doing anything as simple as brushing his hair, though; he was using a mirror to fight for his life.

Han Sen had to control his reflection to avoid Miss Mirror's scary attacks. It would be a difficult task at the best of times, and doing so while blinded and injured would be nearly impossible.

But Miss Mirror, despite running her sword skills at full power, was failing to inflict any more damage on Han Sen's reflection. She couldn't land a single strike.

"How is he doing this?" Miss Mirror wondered, her shock etched deep into her face.

She knew how hard this had to be, especially since Han Sen had only just become a King. She would never have expected that Han Sen would be able to neutralize her sword skills. After all, she had the experience of a deified. She wasn't some ordinary King class enemy to him.

Now Han Sen could fight her face to face, and he could control the shadow in the mirror with unbelievable proficiency. She missed each and every attack.

Through all of this, though, the most amazing thing was that Han Sen was blind. It was hard to imagine how strong his other senses must be to accomplish a feat such as this.

Miss Mirror couldn't hurt his reflection, and so her sword stopped moving.

"My Lady, it looks like you cannot hurt me," Han Sen said.

Miss Mirror was no longer angry. She had underestimated Han Sen, who was a King. She never thought Han Sen would become an actual threat to her.

But now, Han Sen's performance had revealed him as just that: an enemy who could rival her power. He wasn't just some random King she could slay on a whim.

"You are very strong. A leftover of the crystallizers is this capable? That is incredibly rare. If it was possible to avoid being your enemy, I would choose to do so," Miss Mirror said, looking at Han Sen with newfound respect.

"I don't want to be your enemy, either. Why don't we re-establish our bonds of cooperation and work to rid ourselves of the red-eye plague?" Han Sen smiled.

"We will, of course. But she must die first," Miss Mirror said. The muscles in her jaw tightened, and a weird light shimmered. A scary Mirror Area appeared.

Han Sen immediately realized he was now trapped in a mirror maze. Mirrors appeared everywhere he looked. Even the ground and the sky above were just mirror images.

Han Sen's reflection was in every mirror, as if thousands of Han Sen's were there. The mirrors reflected each other, creating reflections of Han Sen that stretched back into infinity.

Han Sen's face changed. Since there were so many reflections, Miss Mirror could strike him with far greater ease now. Han Sen needed to stop her from hitting any one of those reflections. Defending himself had become a much more difficult task now.

And it would be even harder to break the old mirrors now, too. He didn't know if those old mirrors could be broken, but even if they could break, the mirrors would only shatter and create countless more reflections in the shards. Han Sen would be in even more danger, then.

"Still confident that you can dodge my attacks?" Miss Mirror asked as she hung in the center of the Mirror Area.

"Let's give it a try. Maybe I can make it work." Han Sen shrugged.

"You are so stubborn," Miss Mirror grunted. With a swing of the broken sword, sword rainbows came to life and went flying at Han Sen through the mirrors.

There were too many reflections in the mirrors, and Miss Mirror continued to attack without pause or hesitation. Countless reflections would be involved in every single evasion that was required.

Han Sen's heart leaped. He summoned Jadeskin and channeled as much power into it as he could. His body became icy jade. His mind opened, and his Jadeskin Area appeared.

His expression focused, Han Sen jumped, and all of his reflections avoided the incoming sword strike. At the same time, his Jadeskin Area covered all of the old mirrors. Frost spread over the surface of every single mirror.

"That's useless! Your reflections in the ice are susceptible to my strikes, so I can still use them to kill you." Miss Mirror slashed towards one of the frozen-over mirrors.

"The ice won't work? It looks like this is it, then." Han Sen sighed. Han Sen withdrew his Jadeskin Area, pulling it all back into his body.

Miss Mirror's sword came for one of Han Sen's reflections again, but this time, Han Sen didn't dodge.

Dong! Dong! Dong!

Miss Mirror's sword struck all of Han Sen's reflections, but Han Sen just stood where he was. He wasn't bleeding, and not a single wound appeared across his body. It was like he was a jade statue, resolute and still.

"Not even dust will tarnish my Jadeskin, Miss Mirror. My body is my body. It is mine alone, and nothing in this world will change that. Even if you break all my reflections, you cannot hurt me." Han Sen held Lady Wan'er while he spoke, his voice frosty.

Chapter 2439 Statue with a Thousand Hands and Eyes

Miss Mirror's rainbow powers kept swinging. They broke many of the reflections in the mirrors, but Han Sen's body remained completely undamaged.

"My Lady, if you still had a deified body, it is safe to say that my Jadeskin wouldn't be able to endure your powerful sword strikes. But now, you aren't too different from me. You are a first-tier King class opponent. Unless you strike me with the broken sword, hitting my reflections isn't going to hurt me," Han Sen said.

"So, what? It's actually quite relieving that I don't have to worry about striking you. I will just hit the woman instead. Even if you hide her behind you, you cannot protect her shadow from me," Miss Mirror pronounced as she raised her broken sword again.

"My Lady, you must have heard what I just said," Han Sen said, as he suddenly looked at Miss Mirror.

"What?" Miss Mirror asked.

"We are the same level as Kings." Han Sen raised his fists. The ice jade around his fists became a godlight and flashed toward Miss Mirror.

Miss Mirror's heart jumped, and an old mirror formed in front of her. She wanted to reflect the Jadeskin godlight back on its wielder, but the godlight wasn't a simple attack power. It was a power for sealing.

The icy light suddenly wrapped a binding seal around Miss Mirror and the old mirror, resolving into the shape of a giant ice cube.

"Miss Mirror, I'm going on ahead. If I can break the red-eye power, I will come back for you." Han Sen looked at Miss Mirror's broken sword, but he decided not to take it with him. He simply resettled his arms a little more comfortably around Wan'er and headed back into the broken city.

Even if the prophecy was true, it would be fulfilled by him and the girl now. Their current situation still aligned with the sixth picture of the mural they had discovered.

But the broken city in front of them had yet to be cleared. The place was covered in broken stone and debris, and since Night Wind was no longer there to make a path for them, Han Sen had to do it. While carrying the girl, he broke the stones himself.

He didn't have substance chains like Night Wind, so he was unable to clear a wide area. Instead, he broke a path just wide enough for him to slip through while still carrying the girl. He tried to travel as fast as he could.

Han Sen felt as if the red-eye power wasn't affecting him as much, which might or might not have been because his eyes were broken. He still felt the urge to move in a certain direction, but it wasn't that strong.

He wasn't sure what sort of weapon that broken sword had been, but Han Sen's injured eyes weren't healing with Jadeskin's power.

But Han Sen cared little about that. It didn't matter to him if he had eyes right now. He could take the time to heal when he got out of there.

Han Sen hadn't been gone for long with the ice sealing Miss Mirror made a groaning noise. Cracks appeared across its surface, and a second later, the ice cube shattered. Miss Mirror was free.

Miss Mirror looked in the direction that Han Sen had escaped. Her expression was conflicted, but a while later, she sighed. "I hope he can break the red-eye curse."

Miss Mirror had realized something, and although she didn't want to think about it, she knew she had to. Unless she became deified again, it wouldn't be possible for her to defeat Han Sen at his current level. And so, if Han Sen couldn't find and destroy the source of the red-eye curse, all was lost. Perhaps the prophecy would come true, too, and one of them would die.

"We might be the same level, but I can't compete with you. I hope when you are deified, you will have the courage to face me in the same way." Miss Mirror sat on a rock near the entrance to the cave leading into the city. She cast a geno art to block the addiction-like draw of the red-eye power, and she sat there awaiting Han Sen's result.

Han Sen carried Lady Wan'er forward, breaking rocks as he went. He didn't encounter anything weird this time. But after two hours of travel, the rocks in front of him were becoming easier to move.

When Han Sen moved the next pile of rubble out of his way, he realized that there was open air behind it.

Han Sen stood before the entrance to a hall. And in that hall, there was a statue with a thousand hands and a thousand eyes. It looked exactly the same as the one they had seen previously, but this statue was one thousand meters tall, far bigger than the one he had seen before.

The moment Han Sen entered the hall, he could feel the statue staring at him. Han Sen's blinded eyes suddenly burned. The damage in his eyes began to repair itself, and in seconds, and he was able to see again.

Even with no mirror, Han Sen could feel that his eyes were shining with red light. The four pupils in his eyes were now like four red suns.

That feeling of addiction had suddenly grown by orders of magnitude. Han Sen felt like a moth drawn to a flame. He wanted nothing more than to go to that statue with a thousand hands and a thousand eyes.

Han Sen's will was really strong, but even he was wavering under the draw of the statue. It was like the statue of a thousand hands and a thousand eyes was his final home. He wanted so badly to go into it.

"Come… come…" a demonic voice whispered from the statue. It was beckoning him over.

Although Han Sen tried to control his will, his feet began stepping forward of their own volition. The call couldn't go unheeded, it seemed. He was slowly walking towards the statue of a thousand hands and a thousand eyes.

Boom!

Without hesitation, Han Sen deployed his super god spirit body. A glowing light spread in his eyes. It smothered the red and made his entire eyes turn white.

When Han Sen last used his super god spirit body, he had been interrupted by Wan'er before it could remove the red color from his eyes. But now that he had unleashed it, the red eyes were gone.

The white light burned across Han Sen like a cleansing flame. Han Sen's body hung in the air, white and godlike. He looked down on that giant statue with a thousand hands and a thousand eyes.

There were red eyes on one of the statue's pairs of hands, and those hands moved with Han Sen's body. That eye on the statue was like a demon, tracing Han Sen's movements.

But under the influence of his super god spirit mode, the power of the eyes didn't work on Han Sen. Han Sen gathered up his power to use Super Spank. He wanted to see if he could break the demon-looking eye upon the statue.

But before Han Sen struck, he felt his super god spirit body's power begin to fade. It suddenly disappeared and returned to his geno core.

"What is this?" Han Sen was shocked. The power had begun to fade from his back, and that was where Lady Wan'er was.

The super god spirit body's power disappeared. The power of the statue landed on Han Sen, and it suddenly turned his eyes back into those red ones. Once more, Han Sen felt like a moth drawn to a flame. It was stronger than last time, too. His body was pulled uncontrollably toward the statue.

"This is bad. Now that Wan'er has no power, why would my super god spirit body be affected by her?" Han Sen was in shock.

Chapter 2440 Effec

Wan'er was still in her comatose state, but Han Sen tossed her body away from him. She landed against the ground some distance away, but luckily, Han Sen had used some of his power to cushion her landing. Instead of slamming into the ground like a bag of rocks, Wan'er slid smoothly through the air and landed softly, almost silently, on the ground.

Han Sen wanted to see if having some distance between himself and Wan'er would allow him to fully activate and maintain his super god spirit body.

After tossing Wan'er aside, Han Sen redeployed his super god spirit body. White light surrounded him once again, glowing from his hair and eyes.

His red eyes vanished in a sea of white, just like they had on his previous attempt. But this time, Han Sen managed to keep his super god spirit body going, and his power didn't fade.

"Was Wan'er really causing my power to disappear? What's going on? How is it possible for her to affect my super god spirit body?" Han Sen looked at Wan'er with shock. He noticed that her own body was glowing with gold light. Her eyes and hair were turning gold.

Han Sen didn't have time to worry about that at the moment, though. He just focused on using Super Spank. He threw his fist toward the eye on the statue of a thousand hands and a thousand eyes to see if he could break it.

But the moment Han Sen got close, a weird glow rose around the statue. The statue seemed to be gathering up a substance chain of red light, and then the light lashed out at Han Sen.

Han Sen's super god spirit body ignored blood light coming for him. The blood light went straight through him like he didn't even exist. Like he was some sort of phantom.

But Han Sen punched the statue's eye, releasing an explosion of force. The shockwave shoved Han Sen's body back, but the Super Spank strike was unable to destroy the eye.

"This is harder than that weird deified bug." Even the thought made Han Sen feel a cold dread. Part of him had expected this result, though. The confirmation simply disappointed him.

He couldn't break the statue. That meant he couldn't unlock the secrets of the red-eye power. But it also wouldn't affect him because he had the super god spirit body. But if anyone else was infected with the red-eye condition, there was nothing he could do.

Han Sen turned around and began walking away. He needed to leave the broken city, first and foremost. But then, the statue suddenly moved. Its enormous form suddenly stood fully erect, and it looked down on Han Sen with abject hatred. The entire hall shook as the statue rose to its full height.

"It is alive!" Han Sen wasn't surprised. He jumped forward and tried to reach Wan'er.

But he then saw Wan'er's body lift itself off the ground. Her hair and eyes had turned blonde, and she now looked exactly as she had appeared when Han Sen first saw her.

Her eyes were open, but they were glazed and unfocused.

The statue of a thousand hands and a thousand eyes stepped forward, sending one of its demon-like hands down to slap Han Sen. It paused above him, though, and it began to shine.

The blonde-haired Wan'er teleported in front of the statue of a thousand hands and a thousand eyes, hovering in the air directly in front of its face. She waved her hand and cut its head off.

Boom!

The giant stone head fell onto the floor of the hall, creating a good-sized crater where it slammed into the floor.

Han Sen was frozen. Wan'er had such a weak body, but after she turned golden, her power became truly frightening. Its magnitude was difficult to believe.

This was completely different from what the sixth image of the mural had depicted, too. The sixth picture showed one person on the floor and another person praying to the complete statue.

But while the head had been cut off, the statue of a thousand hands and a thousand eyes did not fall. Its body began to writhe, and all of its one thousand arms were moving. The red eye in each of its hands began to glow, and that hellish glow covered the hall from one end to the other. Countless red substance chains emerged and slithered toward Wan'er's body.

Wan'er's power was incredible, but her body was solid and could therefore be injured. She didn't have the invincible features of Han Sen's super god spirit body.

Countless substance chains tangled around Wan'er's body, and a cruel grin suddenly played across the mouth of the statue head on the floor. It flew up and opened its mouth, trying to consume Wan'er.

Han Sen's heart leaped. He stepped forward to help Wan'er, but the golden light coming from Wan'er's body intensified, and the rest of the chains suddenly melted. She raised a single hand and pressed it against the statue's head, and then, the statue's head exploded like fireworks.

The head was shattered, but the statue wasn't dead. It seemed to be quite shocked, though. It turned its giant body around to run away.

Wan'er's blonde-haired form flashed, and she reappeared beside the statue. She reached out and planted her hands firmly on the statue's body.

Pang!

The whole statue exploded. The giant body was reduced to a heap of rubble, and its arms lay scattered about.

"Too strong!" Han Sen couldn't help but compliment her display of power. Strength like that could destroy almost anything. Even that powerful statue had been killed in scant moments.

Most of the arms that fell to the floor of the hall were now broken, and the eyes that they held had been destroyed. Even those that hadn't been outright destroyed were bleeding profusely. They would die soon. The arms writhed on the floor in a sickening fashion, like deadly snakes.

But one broken eyeball did shoot away from its attendant hand. It became a blood light as it tried to escape the hall.

Han Sen stood next to the exit of the hall, and he watched that blood eye come. He used Super Spank to smack it. There was a loud squelching noise as he smacked it, and the jelly of the eyeball sprayed out as the thing fell to the floor.

When the eyeball ruptured, the writhing pieces of the statue all stopped. It was like a heap of rubble now, and nothing more.

"Mutant Deified Xenogeneic hunted: Blood Eye Evil God. Mutant xenogeneic gene found. Obtained Blood Eye Evil God beast soul."

When Han Sen heard the announcement, he was shocked. He hadn't even realized what he was about to do when he struck the eyeball. He just didn't want it to escape. He hadn't thought there'd be a reward, especially a reward on such a scale.

Before Han Sen had time to examine the Blood Eye Evil God's beast soul, the blonde-haired Wan'er teleported over to him. Her golden eyes looked in Han Sen's direction, but they had so little focus that he couldn't tell if she was actually looking at him.

Then Wan'er's hand drifted forward to pat Han Sen on the head. This shocked Han Sen. He suddenly realized that when Wan'er had grabbed his neck, she had wanted to kill him. But something else had happened instead.

As Wan'er's hand came from, an overwhelming sense of danger weighed on Han Sen's shoulders. The feeling was so strong it was almost suffocating.

Chapter 2441 The Screen Is Gone

Wan'er struck too fast for Han Sen to dodge. His fast reflexes moved his head far enough back that she didn't strike him directly, but her fingertips still tore into his face.

Three deep gashes were torn into Han Sen's face. The clefts were so deep that his skull became visible through them.

Han Sen was shocked. He was still in his super god spirit body mode, but Wan'er's fingers had damaged him anyway. This was the first time something of the sort had ever happened.

Luckily, he managed to dodge most of her attack. Otherwise, his entire head would have split open like a cut watermelon.

Han Sen instinctually started to return to the sanctuaries. His super god spirit body couldn't block Wan'er's power if she chose to attack him again, so he couldn't escape by traditional means if she wanted to fight him.

But Wan'er didn't attack him again. She stood where she was, unmoving. She looked at the blood on her fingers, which was Han Sen's blood.

A little life came back to her eyes, and her golden power began to fade.

"Do we affect each other?" Han Sen thought happily. He gritted his teeth and grabbed Wan'er's arm. He examined her.

As Wan'er's body came closer to Han Sen, her gold color faded much faster.

When he saw that Wan'er wasn't resisting, Han Sen pulled her into his arms. When their bodies were in physical contact, Wan'er's golden power vanished completely. Her eyes looked fully cognizant for the first time.

"Good brother, it's so nice to have you here," Wan'er mumbled against Han Sen's chest. She was lying forward against him, and she slowly closed her eyes.

After she spoke, Wan'er's body went soft. Her consciousness drifted away as it had before.

Han Sen frowned and looked at the girl in his arms. Her lifeforce was weaker than it had been the previous time, when she was in a coma. Now, her lifeforce was like that of a dying old woman. She no longer had the vitality of a teenage lady.

"Does this mean that using the golden power costs her the strength of her lifeforce?" Han Sen looked at the lady thoughtfully as a variety of emotions shifted across her expression.

This girl was the only person Han Sen had ever encountered who could threaten him in his super god spirit body mode. It might have been a good idea to get rid of her, but there were so many unknowns about the girl. A lot of questions had been raised by her existence, and she did seem to harbor some sort of connection to Han Sen. He really, really needed to figure out what was going on here.

"As long as she is next to me, she can't make use of that scary power. So, I suppose I don't have to be too afraid. I need to figure out what she is before I do anything drastic." Han Sen sighed, set the girl down, and then looked across the hall.

The hall had only been home to the statue, and Han Sen looked around for a while, but he didn't find anything useful there. And the materials that composed the hall were too tough to be broken through, so Han Sen couldn't search any further.

Han Sen did find a piece of red crystal that was around the size of his hand, though. It was inside the remains of the red eyeball. He put it in his pocket, then went back the way he had come.

"Now that the statue has been destroyed, I wonder if the red-eye condition is still in effect." Han Sen went back the way he had come to take a look.

But when he reached the place that he had left Miss Mirror, he didn't see her there.

"Did she go back to camp? That really isn't her style." Han Sen frowned, then began walking a little faster.

Even if the red-eye power infecting Miss Mirror had vanished, she wouldn't simply go home. She would have stayed where she was and waited for Han Sen to return so she could grill him thoroughly over what had happened.

Plus, the pieces of the shattered tree egg were still lying around. If Miss Mirror had decided to leave, she would have at least taken the pieces of the tree egg with her. They were a valuable treasure.

"It's good that she is gone, then. That means all of these tree egg shards are mine." Han Sen picked up a piece and started to put it away. As he did, he noticed how nice the chunk of egg smelled. But there didn't seem to be any lifeforce within the pieces of egg. And furthermore, there was no semblance of power. This definitely wasn't what Han Sen had expected.

"No wonder Miss Mirror left these behind. They're already useless. Did Wan'er absorb the powers of the tree egg while she was inside it?" Han Sen guessed. He couldn't think of any other explanations.

Han Sen kept walking back the way he had come. He didn't encounter any more trouble. Wan'er was still in her coma, and her body was so weak that it looked like the final tether of her life would break at any second.

Han Sen didn't know why the girl had been reduced to such a condition. If this continued, she wouldn't last long.

Strangely, though, Han Sen found no evidence of the wall of pictures on his return trip. The wall seemed to have just vanished into thin air, without a trace.

Han Sen continued walking back toward camp, and when the first statue came into view, he froze. Miss Mirror was lying in front of the statue, and a woman was kneeling beside her. The woman was praying to the statue of a thousand hands and a thousand eyes. It was one of the four Kings. It was Red Cloud.

The scene before him was the same as the sixth picture depicted on the screen's mural. It gave Han Sen a chill.

"What is going on?" Han Sen was confused. He looked at Red Cloud and Miss Mirror, unsure what was happening.

Miss Mirror's presence was still there. She wasn't dead, but she seemed to be badly wounded as she lay on the ground. She obviously wasn't doing well.

Red Cloud knelt before the statue like a sincere believer. Her eyes were closed and her hands were folded as she prayed.

"No way! Red Cloud never saw the statue. And didn't Miss Mirror tell her to watch over the base? Why is she here? Did the red-eye power become contagious? That means Bao'er and Ning Yue are in danger." Anxiety grew in the pit of Han Sen's stomach, and he started jogging forward.

Before Han Sen reached the statue, Red Cloud opened her eyes. Her eyes were the color of blood, and they contained two pupils each. That was the look people had when they were stricken with the power of the Blood Eye Evil God.

Upon seeing Han Sen, Red Cloud looked murderous. She picked up the broken sword, but instead of striking Han Sen, she turned and thrust the broken blade into Miss Mirror's chest.

Han Sen's heart jumped, and he used his Jadeskin Area to freeze Red Cloud.

Red Cloud was only King class, so she was unable to defeat Han Sen. The red-eye powers were running through her too strongly for her to know what she was doing. She couldn't block Han Sen's power, and so she ended up frozen.

Han Sen walked up to Miss Mirror. He crouched, looked at her, and smiled.

"Miss Mirror, why are you lying around at a time like this?"

"Use your sword to break the statue," Miss Mirror said quietly through gritted teeth. Her eyes were still a deep red.

Han Sen could feel that the statue still had that red-eye power, but it wasn't as strong as the statue Wan'er had destroyed earlier. It didn't make him want to run deep into the city. It just wanted him to go to the statue itself.

Clearly, although the Blood Eye Evil God had been killed, this statue still had some of that Blood Eye Evil God power.

Chapter 2442 I Am An Offering

Han Sen pulled the broken sword out of Red Cloud's hand and swung it across the face of the statue. A deep furrow was gouged into the statue's face, and blood started to leak from it. The statue didn't move, however. The statue wasn't as hard as Han Sen had expected, though. After a few more of those strikes, the stone statue's head fell off.

The severed neck of the statue gushed blood, but it was just a statue. Where the blood came from, Han Sen had no idea.

Strangely, once Han Sen cut off the head of the statue, it didn't behave like the Blood Eye Evil God had upon being decapitated. Instead of getting stronger or fighting back, it simply died.

Han Sen examined the statue again to confirm what he thought he saw. The statue was dying. It dried up like a withered plant. It looked somewhat like a bergamot flower. The stalk and its flowers were dark red. The stone head that had been lopped off was the plant's largest blossom.

"It is a plant!" Han Sen remarked in surprise. He didn't hear any killing announcement, which made him doubt that the plant was actually a creature.

After the flower died, Miss Mirror's red eyes started to fade. It looked like the red-eye powers were finally gone.

Miss Mirror, however, was too injured to rejoice. She remained on the ground, unable to rise. Han Sen put an arm around her back and helped her sit up. "What happened? Why is Red Cloud here? Why are you hurt?"

Miss Mirror opened her mouth but struggled to speak. "Something happened back at base camp. We need to go back now."

When Han Sen heard that, his face turned grey. Without asking any further questions, he simply picked up Miss Mirror. With her in one arm and Lady Wan'er in the other, he sprinted back to the stone fields.

When they reached what was left of the base, their hearts sank. What Han Sen saw sickened him. The base had become a ruin and been painted red with the blood and gore of its inhabitants. No one was left alive.

Miss Mirror looked terrible. A third of Spring Rain's members had been brought there, and now they were all gone. Furthermore, one of the four Kings was dead, and Red Cloud had been reduced to a King class soldier. Miss Mirror had lost so much.

Han Sen's face looked awfully glum, too. He feared Ning Yue and Bao'er might have been killed in the carnage.

"Dad?" Han Sen turned to begin searching through the rubble of the ruin, but all of a sudden. Bao'er emerged over the top of one heap. It was like a mountaintop. She jumped onto Han Sen's chest and wrapped her small arms tightly around his neck.

"Bao'er!" Bao'er was okay, and as she clung to his neck, Ning Yue and Falling Leaf came over the rubble, too. Han Sen was so overjoyed that he dropped Miss Mirror to wrap his arms around Bao'er.

"Argh!" Miss Mirror was too injured to catch herself, and she hit the ground hard. She coughed up some blood and looked rather angered at being suddenly dropped.

"Miss Mirror!" Falling Leaf ran over to pick Miss Mirror up. She imbued her superior with some of her healing powers.

"Don't bother, I am too injured for that. I won't heal quickly regardless, so just tell me what happened," Miss Mirror said abruptly, wiping some of the blood from her mouth.

Falling Leaf told her everything that had transpired, but for some reason, she left out the part with the white-haired man and the conversation he had shared with Bao'er. She also left out the bit regarding the little bird becoming a fiery phoenix. She only said that, after the white-haired man appeared, the people of the base went crazy. They all started killing each other until none of them remained.

But for some reason, a few of them had been unaffected. They were able to escape amidst the chaos.

"That white-haired man, where did he come from?" Miss Mirror asked with a frown.

"I don't know. When we first saw him, he was already walking around the base and everyone was going insane," Falling Leaf said with a shake of her head.

Miss Mirror suddenly had a thought, and she turned her gaze back to Falling Leaf. "That stone. Go and see if the stone is still there."

"We've already looked," Falling Leaf answered. "The stone is gone."

Miss Mirror sighed and said, "Go find Red Cloud and bring her back here. We will have to wait for reinforcements to arrive.

Han Sen handed the broken sword to Falling Leaf. She went to the stone fields and brought the frozen Red Cloud back. Although the red-eye power had vanished from the rest of them, Red Cloud was still crazed, and her eyes were still clouded with that shade of red. After she was released, she again tried to attack everyone around.

Han Sen had to freeze her once more. When the reinforcements came, he was going to let them deal with it.

As for Miss Mirror, Han Sen knew why she had been injured so badly. Han Sen had taken too long, and Miss Mirror had been reaching the limits of her ability to withstand the red-eye power. Then the feelings of addiction had suddenly vanished.

Miss Mirror thought Han Sen had sorted out the red-eye problem, and so she felt relieved.

But just as she was starting to relax, that addicted feeling washed over her again, and this time it was a few hundred times stronger. The attraction drew Miss Mirror back toward the original statue, and Miss Mirror could no longer resist it.

Miss Mirror's mind was still quite clear, but her will was no longer strong enough to control the urge. When she approached the statue, she noticed that Red Cloud had come there, too.

Miss Mirror was thrilled for a moment, as she thought Red Cloud might be able to use the broken sword to break the statue. But Red Cloud was crazy, and she attacked Miss Mirror as soon as she saw her.

Miss Mirror couldn't control her own body well enough to fight Red Cloud, and so Red Cloud beat her to the brink of death. Miss Mirror had been left lying on the ground, struggling to remain conscious.

What happened next chilled Miss Mirror's blood, though. Red Cloud bowed before the statue and began praying. From what Miss Mirror could understand, Red Cloud wanted to use her as some sort of offering. Han Sen had come in time, thank God. If he hadn't, Miss Mirror would have been killed.

Han Sen thought this was very suspicious, too. He didn't fully understand what was going on.

Han Sen kept Wan'er close. If she was any distance at all from Han Sen, her eyes and hair would start to turn gold. The further away from him she was, the faster she would turn.

Han Sen experimented with it a little. Wan'er couldn't be ten meters away from him. Otherwise, even in her coma-like state, her hair would turn gold.

And when Wan'er was within ten meters of Han Sen, his ability to use his super god spirit power was greatly diminished. The power would begin to fade as soon as he summoned it. The closer to Wan'er he was, the faster it faded.

Clearly, the two of them had a dramatic effect on each other. Luckily, though, the effect only limited Han Sen's super god spirit body; his other powers remained intact.

Han Sen asked Miss Mirror not to say anything about Wan'er. Han Sen didn't think Miss Mirror would agree to his request, so it was a surprise for him when she actually assented. She did, however, have a condition of her own regarding the secret.

"What? You want me to be an offering?" Han Sen looked at Miss Mirror with wide eyes.

Chapter 2443 Choices

"As far as the Extreme King are concerned, I brought you here to dig up the ruin of a god's battleground. By doing so, I wanted you to fade from the vision of the royal children," Miss Mirror said calmly. She was reclining on the bed where they had placed her. "This is the only reason your pretense of being Prince Sixteen has lasted this long. But now, this catastrophe with the statues has killed all my people and left you alive. I don't think I will be able to buy you a lot of time. My brother will throw all his resources into investigating you, and you have nowhere to turn. The only thing we can do to keep you alive is to perform a sacrifice. Enter the holy temple to become a devotee. Once you gain the blessing of the Extreme King, your survival will be ensured."

"I'm going to the holy temple? What does that mean, exactly?" Han Sen frowned.

"The holy temple is where the Extreme King make sacrifices to their god. Every generation must have a sacrificed King. They offer themselves to the god and become a devotee. They serve the god inside the holy temple forever."

After pausing, Miss Mirror said, "Only someone with the blood of the Extreme King can earn the blessing of the god. Therefore, a crystallizer shouldn't be capable of becoming a devotee. If you can, though, that will prove you really are Prince Sixteen. At that point, no one will be able to dispel your lie. Even if someone was suspicious, not even King Bai could randomly waltz in and do whatever he pleased. No one would be able to investigate you."

"So I'd be practically sentenced to life in jail?" Han Sen frowned.

"Which would you prefer: incarceration or death? Even if you left now, where would you go? Do you really think Yisha or Kong Fei can protect you? Let me tell you this now. This universe is big, but if it is confirmed that you killed Prince Sixteen, there is nowhere you can go to escape the wrath that will be set upon you. In order to survive, you would have to be stronger than the leagues of deifieds that belong to the Extreme King. And I will be one of them," Miss Mirror said emotionlessly.

"Even if I want to go to the Extreme King's holy temple, I don't have the blood of the Extreme King. How would I even gain the approval of this god?" Han Sen said.

"It should be possible with the help of my Mirror Spirit Eye Ring. Plus, you do have the Original Water King Body that you got from Bai Yi. Getting the god's approval shouldn't be too difficult." Miss Mirror paused and said, "Furthermore, going to the holy temple isn't entirely like being sent to jail. While you may not be able to exit the temple, you can still visit the core area. With the resources you earn in the core area, you can definitely become half-deified."

Miss Mirror then hesitated. After a while, she went on to say, "Also, there are benefits to becoming a devotee. Although you can never leave the holy temple, you will have the opportunity to bathe in the temple's god light. Your genes will be strengthened, and you will have an easier time becoming deified."

"Is this my only chance of surviving?" Han Sen asked quietly.

"Unless you want a universe-wide APB issued by the Extreme King, yes. This is pretty much the only option. Once you become a devotee, the other royal children won't be hostile to you. And so, you'll have less trouble," Miss Mirror said.

"Even if I wanted to try entering the temple, what are they going to do?" Han Sen pointed at Bao'er and the unconscious Wan'er, who were a little further away.

"The holy temple isn't a place just anyone can go. Even the royal children must meet certain qualifications before they can become devotees. I can help you get qualified, but in regards to them, they will have to stay on Planet Water Zone." After pausing, Miss Mirror said, "The best thing for them is to disappear. Otherwise, they may face scrutiny and fall under investigation themselves. Through them, things could unravel. Of course, if you insist on them staying, I can think of a way or two to help them."

When Han Sen heard this, he frowned. Bao'er and Ning Yue could go back to Planet Eclipse. They had the little red bird to protect them, after all. But there was no way that Wan'er could leave Han Sen. If she woke up, she'd become a blonde timebomb.

Wan'er's lifeforce was super weak right now. If she went on a rampage again, she would die. Han Sen wanted to ask her many things, so he needed her alive until he could talk to her.

"Let me think about it." Han Sen knew Miss Mirror would continue trying to convince him, so he continued on to say, "Do you think the statue of a thousand hands and a thousand eyes in Du God City and that prophetic screen are connected to the missing rock we first dug up?"

Han Sen had already gotten the full-scoop on the white-haired man from Bao'er and Ning Yue. But Bao'er claimed she didn't know who he was.

"I don't know. Everything in Du God City is a mystery, and everything we find seems to tie back to yet another myth. My brother will probably send someone else here to continue excavation efforts. I believe answers will one day come," Miss Mirror said.

Han Sen went silent. As a King, he was simply too weak. If he became deified, then he'd be qualified to fully explore Du God City. It was a very scary place, and he was just too weak to be there in his current state.

"Make a decision soon. You are running out of time," Miss Mirror said. Then, she stopped talking.

She was trying to convince Han Sen—not because Han Sen had the Mirror Spirit Ring—but because he had selected to let her live after their fight in the cave. He had the chance to kill her, but he showed her mercy. And on top of that, he saved her from Red Cloud. Otherwise, she never would have done all this for Han Sen.

Helping Han Sen enter the holy temple as a devotee would break basically every law that her people had. Plus, she was the investigator King Bai had specifically chosen to examine Han Sen.

"Thanks." Han Sen walked over to Wan'er. He looked down at the girl, wondering what he should do with her.

Going to the holy temple was clearly the safest choice, but that meant he would be giving up on the girl's secrets. Maybe Wan'er would wake up before backup arrived?

Wan'er seemed too weak for that, though. Han Sen tried many different tricks and powers to reinforce her lifeforce, or to get her to wake up, but nothing seemed to work.

Han Sen didn't dare use more than a trickle of his power. He didn't want to accidentally kill Wan'er. Her body was too weak, so using any significant force on her could be deadly.

"Ugh, this is giving me a headache. If I don't enter the holy temple, I'll have to go on the run. Then, it won't just be the Extreme King after me. Any race related to the Extreme King or seeking their favor will be hunting me. Escaping on my own will be way too hard," Han Sen thought with a frown.

If Han Sen escaped, he wouldn't just be affecting himself. It would affect the lives of his friends on Planet Eclipse, and it might even blowback on Yisha.

"If I was to leave, would you help me?" Han Sen looked at Miss Mirror.

"I am an Extreme King," Miss Mirror said icily.

Han Sen laughed and asked, "If I left now, would it affect Yisha?"

"That is a question you should ask Yisha. It would be her decision." Miss Mirror's eyes flicked down. She seemed to know Han Sen's true decision.

Chapter 2444 Universal APB

Han Sen asked Miss Mirror to contact Yisha. He wouldn't use his own phone because, if he decided to run, all of his conversations after this day would be thoroughly examined.

Han Sen explained his situation to Yisha completely, and Yisha listened intently. She didn't say a word until Han Sen finished telling her the entire story. When Yisha spoke, all she said were four words. "Go to Sky Palace."

Yisha then immediately hung up.

With that, Han Sen was able to make up his mind. He handed the phone back to Miss Mirror, smiled, and said, "Thank you for taking care of me all this time, my Lady. I hope we can meet again someday."

"I'm afraid that won't be possible, but if you die, I will light a candle in your honor," Miss Mirror said emotionlessly.

"If my death earns a lit candle from you, I will consider myself eternally blessed," Han Sen said. He looked at Miss Mirror and said, "I actually still have one more request to make. I was hoping that my Lady would take care of my blood kirin. If you are willing to, you can use it for yourself. I will remember the kindness you have done me."

"That blood kirin is quite an angry beast. I don't think it will follow the commands if another," Miss Mirror said.

"Controlling it isn't difficult. You just need to use this item to find him, and then he will listen to you." Han Sen brought something out for Miss Mirror.

"I guess I won't refuse the service of a half-deified." Miss Mirror accepted the item, looked at Han Sen, and asked, "You really have made the decision to flee? You need to think about this carefully. Even if Sky Palace was willing to defy the Extreme King and take you in, your journey there would be a hellish one. You might not even get there alive."

"This is my life. I could go to the holy temple and survive, but I would spend my life in a prison. For someone like me, that existence would be worse than death. I would rather take a gamble that still leaves me a small chance of freedom," Han Sen said.

Although his words weren't entirely honest, Han Sen was explaining one of his primary reasons for refusing to go to the holy temple.

"Then you should go. I hope you survive a few more days. If my guess is correct, reinforcements will arrive here in forty hours. And I will have to report your situation to my supervisor." Miss Mirror didn't pretend that she would support Han Sen more than she really would just because she was weaker than him now. That just wasn't her personality.

"Goodbye, my Lady. Please report that I'm going to Sky Palace." Han Sen bowed. He picked up the unconscious Wan'er and took Bao'er with him as he departed.

Seeing Han Sen flee the xenogeneic space with Bao'er, a strange expression crossed Falling Leaf's face. "Miss Mirror, has he really chosen to depart the Extreme King?"

"It is very surprising, but it doesn't surprise me that a brave man like him has made such a choice." Despite Miss Mirror's words, her face looked conflicted.

Falling Leaf hesitated for a moment, but ultimately asked, "Can he escape this?"

"No, he cannot," Miss Mirror answered with certainty, for that was what she believed.

Han Sen was smart, but no matter how smart he was, he was just a first-tier King. Even if he was deified, the furious hordes of Extreme King would still bring him down. It was only a matter of time.

Yisha wanted Han Sen to go to Sky Palace because the Sky had the backing of the Very High. If they were willing to protect Han Sen, then the Extreme King wouldn't simply be able to enter Sky Palace and kill whomever they pleased.

But Sky Palace might not protect Han Sen. And even if they agreed to take him in, the trip to get to Sky Palace would be very dangerous for him.

After an hour, Miss Mirror called King Bai's phone. "Brother, I have confirmed that he is indeed Han Sen. He has fled the xenogeneic space, and he is headed for Sky Palace."

After he left the xenogeneic space, Han Sen waved his hand and sent a white crystal flying out in front of him. It expanded until it became a giant white whale.

It was a technological marvel of the ancient crystallizers. It was as powerful as a deified treasure, and it was Han Sen's primary hope of escaping his predicament. With the white whale, he would be able to travel through space for a long time without needing to stop on any other planets along the way.

"Han Sen, are we really going to escape? We should go and reason with them. Perhaps they will forgive us." Ning Yue was going to cry.

"A man never looks back." Han Sen drove the white whale forward. He looked excited and wholly unafraid.

"A man never looks back," Bao'er repeated in excitement, pumping her fists.

"I'm not a big man; I'm a small woman! Let me out… I will beg them for their forgiveness! They will forgive me—they will forgive me because I am a pitiful woman!" Ning Yue sobbed as she banged on the hatch. Then, she sat with her back to the door. She started to cry hopelessly. Her little green sword remained silently at her waist.

Han Sen and Bao'er ignored him. Ning Yue had been affected by that little green sword way too much. He had become a woman with remarkably fragile emotions.

Han Sen didn't dare to get too close to Ning Yue or his little green sword. Han Sen was afraid of being affected by the little green sword and turning into what Ning Yue had become. He would rather die before that happened.

"Bao'er, my first officer, you take over the wheel." Han Sen stood up and allowed Bao'er to take the command chair

"Yes, Daddy Captain." Bao'er gladly sat down and accepted control of the white whale.

Once he didn't have to pilot the whale, Han Sen turned his attention to a map of the galaxy. Going to Sky Palace would be very difficult. If they took the normal route to Sky Palace, their chances of arriving safely were practically zero.

"It looks like the Tianxia System is the only way we can go. If we do that, we can then head through the systems of chaos to get to Sky Palace," Han Sen muttered to himself as he stared intently at the galactic map. The route he proposed was the most dangerous path they could take, which also made it the safest, as far as the threat of the Extreme King was concerned.

That was the only route the Extreme King didn't have total control over, but the systems of chaos were even dangerous for deified elites.

When Han Sen first followed the Ice Blue Knights through the systems of chaos, he was a first-hand witness to how frighteningly scary that place could be.

The Tianxia System was a very dangerous system, as well. It was a giant xenogeneic space, but it was different from ordinary xenogeneic spaces. There were no stars, no seas, and no land. It was just an endless, foggy space that was choked by clouds. All sorts of tools were rendered useless there due to the magnetic storms that existed within the vapor. Ordinary ships were unable to travel through the Tianxia System.

Plus, that endless space of clouds was known to host many terrifying xenogeneics. Many deified creatures lived all throughout Tianxia System. For an ordinary deified, making the trip would be very difficult.

But this was the reason Han Sen had chosen to journey through the Tianxia System. The Extreme King wouldn't expect him to go that way.

Overnight, Han Sen's name spread across the entire geno universe.

Before that day, not many creatures of the universe knew who Han Sen was. But when the Extreme King put out a universal APB for Han Sen, races all across the universe learned or remembered his name.

Of course, what they remembered more than anything was the very high bounty on him. The reward being offered for Han Sen was enough to tempt any deified.

Chapter 2445 Tianxia System

"Mister Quin, why are we not going to the White River System? We seem to be headed for Tianxia System instead." An Extreme King knight looked Bao Quin with confusion.

"The White River System is currently in turmoil. Interstellar pirates are everywhere there. It might seem easy for Han Sen to slip through the chaos, but it is a very populated place. Han Sen has a bold personality, so it most likely compelled him to go to the Tianxia System," Bao Quin deduced tonelessly.

"But he is just a King. Tianxia System isn't a feasible route for someone of his level," the knight said after a moment of thought.

"Before he was exposed, no one would have believed he had the gall to disguise himself as a prince of the Extreme King," Bao Quin responded, his eyes hard.

"Slow down!" Bao'er was pushing the white whale through the clouds at an insane speed. Although their transport could move very quickly, it was supposed to be a whale, not a fighter jet. Ning Yue was lying on the floor, clutching a chair while bawling her eyes out. Her face was covered in tears and snot.

Han Sen peered out at the endless clouds, and he couldn't help but frown.

Although he already knew that the Tianxia System was dangerous, seeing the system with his own eyes had still taken him aback.

Tianxia System's clouds extended in all directions like an ocean, making it hard for Han Sen to keep his sense of direction. The endless clouds were colorful, as if the white whale was surrounded by countless fluffy rainbows. The clouds were opaque enough that it was difficult to see beyond the closest layer.

Now, Han Sen and his companions were traveling through blue clouds. They were endless, and they were scarier than the depths of the sea. In between the moving clouds, Han Sen could occasionally see cloud beasts dancing.

Those crane-like cloud beasts were in flocks of several thousand. They flew together like a cloud of their own, all moving quickly in tandem.

Inside the blue clouds, they would sometimes see the flash of magnetic storms. Typically, tools and gadgets were rendered useless by such storms. But fortunately, the big white whale of the crystallizers wasn't affected by powerful magnetic interference. The turbulence of the storm's had no effect on the white whale, which was why Han Sen wasn't afraid to go through the Tianxia System.

The white whale was like a deified creature, but it had no lifeforce. Because of that, it didn't send out a lifeforce for others to sniff out. Ordinary xenogeneics wouldn't attack it, and Han Sen had indeed seen many xenogeneics along the way. But most of them completely ignored the white whale. Some of the meaner ones tried to attack the white whale, but they couldn't really damage the hull of the ship.

Aside from the cloud beasts, they rarely saw other elites in the system. Even those of the higher races rarely came to hunt here. It was way too dangerous, and it was almost never worth the risk.

Pang!

As the white whale blazed along, an explosion sounded off to the side. The clouds rumbled and rolled, sort of like a tsunami. It felt as if some terrifying creatures were in the middle of a war somewhere in the fog.

Han Sen told Bao'er to go past whatever it was. After all, they were running for their lives, not going on a safari. It was best not to attract the attention of anything, and so they should focus on getting through the fog as fast as possible.

But before Bao'er turned the white whale, a few people flew out of the big clouds. Terror was written across their faces, and they appeared to be running for their lives.

Their worries meant nothing to Han Sen. He didn't have time to worry about people who were running for their lives. But when he got close enough to see their faces, Han Sen jerked back in surprise.

Amidst the shadows, there were two pretty women that looked like twins. One was Gu Qingcheng, and the other was Elysian Moon.

Han Sen couldn't just ignore them. He had Bao'er drive the white whale over to Gu Qingcheng.

When the people saw the white whale heading toward them, they turned in another direction, trying desperately to get away from this new threat as well. But soon after, they saw the mouth of the white whale open. Someone emerged through the gap.

"Qingcheng, why are you here?" Han Sen asked, looking at Gu Qingcheng and Elysian Moon.

Gu Qingcheng saw Han Sen, and so she flew towards him with Elysian Moon. When the others saw that Gu Qingcheng and Han Sen seemed to know each other, they looked relieved. They flew over to the white whale, as well.

"There are deified creatures ahead. We should leave this place," Gu Qingcheng said to Han Sen after flying over there.

"Follow me." Han Sen led the way. He invited Gu Qingcheng and Elysian Moon into the white whale. The other people followed Gu Qingcheng, entering the white whale as well.

Seeing that Gu Qingcheng knew them, Han Sen made no effort to stop their entry.

"This is a battleship? And it can sail through the Tianxia System? This is so weird," said a twenty-year-old man. He was one of the Demon, and he had deep purple horns. He looked around the big white whale with great curiosity.

Han Sen told Bao'er to drive the white whale away from the deified creatures. Then he looked at the people who had followed Gu Qingcheng aboard and asked, "Who are they?"

There were a dozen of them, and they were all from different races. They were mostly Dukes and Kings. Gu Qingcheng pointed at one of the young Feather men.

"He hired Elysian Moon and me to protect him inside Tianxia System."

Han Sen looked at the Feather man. The man seemed very young, and his lifeforce wasn't that strong. He was a Marquise or Duke, at best.

"My name is Qing Yu. Thank you for saving me. What is your name?" the Feather man asked politely.

"Han Sen." Han Sen had no plans of hiding his identity.

"You are the student of the newly deified Knife Queen? I have heard your name before," Fang Qing Yu said, glancing curiously over Han Sen.

Surprisingly, Fang Qing Yu wasn't like the other Feathers. All of the rest of the Feathers hated Han Sen.

When Han Sen saw that they had no reaction to his name, he figured that they hadn't heard that he was wanted by the Extreme King.

It made sense. Equipment didn't work inside the Tianxia System, so contacting the outside world would have been impossible. They didn't know what had happened out there.

Han Sen looked outside and noticed there were no more crazy clouds. They must be far away from the deified xenogeneic now.

"This place should be safe. You can leave," Han Sen said, turning to Fang Qing Yu.

Fang Qing Yu quietly responded, "Brother Han, I would like you to take me all the way through the Tianxia System. What would require in trade for such a request?"

"Sorry, I'm not here to play games, and I'm not interested in a business deal. Please get off my ship," Han Sen said firmly.

He was on the lam. He wasn't interested in spending any more time with these people. He had only saved them because Gu Qingcheng was there.

"Brother Han, please consider it. Tell me how much you want, and I will gladly play you," Fang Qing Yu said.

"Sorry, I am a little busy. I cannot take you guys," Han Sen said.

"Listen, buddy! You're going to end up embarrassing yourself." One of the Destroyed stepped forward from behind Fang Qing Yu. He glared at Han Sen as he spoke.

Other Dukes and Kings slowly surrounded them, too.

Chapter 2446 Don't Move

"What are you doing? Step back! Don't be rude to Brother Han," Fang Qing Yu shouted, his face contorted in displeasure.

But the other men didn't seem willing to stop. The Destroyed leader laughed and said, "Mister Fang, we are doing this for your own good. Our ride, Wind Cloud Bird, was consumed by that deified xenogeneic. Without a ship, we cannot travel through the Tianxia System. And now that there is a ship right here, we cannot deny that this is obviously the help of God."

"If you guys try this, then you are no better than pirates," Fang Qing Yu said, not sounding happy at all.

"Haha! Mr. Fang, you are right. We are pirates. Who else do you think would dare to escort you through a zone like the Tianxia System?" The people swapped glances with each other and laughed.

Once they were in the Tianxia System, they had been planning to rob Fang Qing Yu and kidnap Gu Qincheng and Elysian Moon.

They didn't have much luck, though. They entered the Tianxia System, and mere minutes before they planned to execute their sordid little scheme, they encountered a deified xenogeneic.

"You guys…" Fang Qing Yu's face changed. He was too furious to say anything.

With that revelation, the situation made a little more sense to Han Sen. It would have been unusual for normal mercenaries to agree to escort Fang Qing Yu into such a dangerous place. Entering the Tianxia System was way too risky. If someone was willing to go there, they were most likely interstellar pirates, or they were on the lam like Han Sen.

"You're referring to us as 'you guys'? Haven't you heard of the Pirate? We are true Pirates, so if you know who I am, then show some respect. I only want money. If I don't get it…" The Destroyed King laughed threateningly as his sentence trailed off.

Hearing the man's claim, Han Sen didn't know what to say. The guy was bluffing. The Pirates were a powerful faction, and there were many of them.

They robbed the amazingly rich and powerful, often entering high-race xenogeneic spaces to attack their prey. They wouldn't behave like these guys, stealing from the weak in such a sneaky way.

Many of the pirates started to approach Han Sen. Gu Qingcheng frowned and started to draw her sword, but Han Sen stopped her.

Han Sen looked at the pirates and smiled. "It is good that you aren't leaving. We need people here. We need men that are willing to tidy, clean, and make food. If you want to stay here, you may remain to do such things."

When the pirates heard that, they laughed until their eyes watered. The Demon man looked extra cocky, and he said, "The Rebate and Knife Queen might be famous, but we don't care. Plus, you are only Knife Queen's student. How dare you propose that we become your deckhands!"

"Stop talking to him! As it is his wish, we'll flip the offer around and make him the one who does the washing, cleaning, and cooking for us!" one of the pirates said.

They were fearless. They had seen the battleship from one end to the other. The ship was host to Han Sen, a little girl, and a very frightened woman.

Aside from them, there was only a little red bird.

"Let me do it," the Demon man said with a smile. He unleashed his area. He went over to Han Sen while saying, "Do you want to get out, or do you want me to help you? If you want me to help, you will…"

Before he could finish, Han Sen punched the man in the face.

"D*mn you!" The Demon man suddenly looked terrifying. He lifted his fist and threw a punch at Han Sen that was imbued with Sky Demon powers. Very few Demons could make use of those powers, and the few that could were mostly of a pure Demon blood lineage.

The fact that the Demon could make use of Sky Demon powers surprised Han Sen.

But the Sky Demon powers, even at full charge, was useless against Han Sen.

That Demon man was stunned when Han Sen's fist collided with his own. He had put all of his power into that strike, and Han Sen had blocked it.

The Demon man had shock written all over his face. His entire body stopped moving, and then a block of ice encased him.

The other pirates were shocked, too. The Demon man wasn't a top King, but his Sky Demon power was nothing to trifle with. Han Sen had blocked that Sky Demon power and froze him in a single punch. That surprised them all.

Many of the pirates pulled out their knives. Han Sen's hands closed into fists, and then he rushed into them. He threw punches that wrecked each of their King areas and their powers. He froze the pirates one by one, leaving them standing on the deck, motionless and confused.

The pirates were dumbfounded. They were just a group of outlaws who weren't really connected to the Pirate. And they had never witnessed a King with such impressive strength.

"Don't! Stay back! If you come any closer, I'll kill her." The Destroyed King had the quickest reaction. Upon seeing all his men frozen, he stumbled back toward Bao'er and put a knife to her neck.

Han Sen had already frozen all the other pirates. When he turned to see the frightened Destroyed King holding a knife to Bao'er's throat, he laughed and didn't approach.

The Destroyed King looked at his men in disbelief. The Demon and two others had been Kings, but Han Sen had dealt with them as easily as he had the Dukes. They had all been frozen by Han Sen's punches. The entire group only lasted a few seconds.

Han Sen grinned at the Destroyed King. He didn't come any closer.

"Don't take another step. If you do, what happens then is on you." The Destroyed King's heart began to pound as Han Sen gazed at him. The Destroyed pulled Bao'er closer to himself, wanting to retreat with her as a hostage. For now, all he wanted was to leave. The further away he could get, the better.

"Uncle," said a very young voice from the Destroyed King's arms. When he lowered his head, he found that it was the little girl he was using as a hostage.

The little girl had a knife to her neck, but she didn't look scared like most little girls would, however. She smiled at him, looking so happy. She even started to laugh.

"Stop laughing!" the Destroyed King shouted angrily at the little girl, feeling insulted.

Before he could come up with another threat, though, the Destroyed King's eyes widened in surprise and terror.

The little red bird upon the girl's shoulder jumped into the air, and red flames began to spread from its flapping wings. It was like a volcano erupting. Under the incredible heat, the Destroyed's King class knife suddenly melted into molten juice. But the fire in the bird's eyes didn't lessen; in fact, the bird seemed to grow even more enraged.

Chapter 2447 Fang Qing Yu

The pirates all stood in a line, still chilled and shivering. They stood meekly before Bao'er, listening attentively as she scolded them.

"From now on, you guys are the deckhands of the white whale. You'll be a cleaner… And you, a servant…" Bao'er gave them jobs, and the pirates all nodded as they were given assignments. They had been tamed, and none of them dared to refuse to do as they were told.

Their eyes sometimes wandered to the little red bird sitting atop Bao'er's shoulder, and the sight of it would send another involuntary shiver through them.

Ten minutes before, the little bird had burned a sixth-tier Destroyed King to nothing more than charcoal. There was too little of him left to even be considered cooked meat.

"Brother Fang, you should really leave now. Following me will only put you in more danger," Han Sen said to Fang Qing Yu.

Fang Qing Yu shook his head. "Brother Han, the Tianxia System isn't a place a Marquise can make a living. How long do you think I could survive out there?"

After that, Fang Qing Yu pulled something out of his pocket. He set it down in front of Han Sen. With a slight smile, he said, "Brother Han, do you remember this?"

After Han Sen got a good look at what Fang Qing Yu was holding, he was confused. He didn't recognize the item.

The item looked like a common, three-by-three, six-sided Rubix cube. Nine squares occupied each face.

But unlike a normal Rubix cube, each square on this cube contained a strange image. Each image was like a small painting of a place that Han Sen had never been before. Some of them showed starscapes, whereas others showed mountains and rivers. Others simply showed off rooms or palatial halls.

When Fang Qing Yu looked at Han Sen's face, he realized that Han Sen didn't recognize it. He smiled and said, "This is the Wanjie Rubix Cube; it is a xenogeneic treasure from the Thousand Treasures. Everyone who has a Wanjie Rubix Cube can contact others with a Wanjie Rubix Cube. You can even use video. To simplify this for you, the Wanjie Rubix Cube is like a phone. But it is a xenogeneic treasure, so you don't need a signal. You can communicate through space without being affected by magnetic storms."

"This is a powerful tool. If you have a treasure like this, you can ask your family or friends to come pick you up, right?" Han Sen said.

Fang Qing Yu smiled wryly. "Brother Han, I'm not showing this to you so that I can leave. I am a member of the Thousand Treasures Alliance. Although the Alliance isn't considered a part of the Thousand Treasures race, we have the same level of authority as the Thousand Treasures. My Wanjie Rubix Cube can connect to other members of the Thousand Treasures. They can see everything I see."

"What does that mean?" Han Sen frowned.

Fang Qing Yu quickly waved his hand and said, "Don't misunderstand me, Brother Han. The Wanjie Rubix Cubes need to be activated for others to see my image. Right now, it is not open and so no one will know anything about what is going on here."

After pausing, Fang Qing Yu went on to say, "Your battleship is incredible—it can even travel through the Tianxia System unimpeded. The Thousand Treasures want every treasure, including rare items in dangerous places like the Tianxia System. There are so many items in this system that most people couldn't tell what is valuable and what isn't, but with the Wanjie Rubix Cube, we could send images back to the Thousand Treasures. They could identify what is worth taking and what isn't. If they see something that they want, they will pay a high price for the items you bring back to them."

Han Sen smiled and said, "Brother Fang, I'm afraid you don't know my situation."

"I know you are Knife Queen's student." Fang Qing Yu looked at Han Sen with a modicum of confusion.

Han Sen waved his hand to interrupt him. He smiled and said, "You can use your Wanjie Rubix Cube to contact your Thousand Treasures friends, and perhaps, they might let you know a thing or two about me, as well."

Fang Qing Yu looked confused, and so he turned on his Wanjie Rubix Cube. In one of the squares, another member of the Thousand Treasures appeared. Fang Qing Yu spoke to him, and his expression became increasingly apprehensive as the conversation went on.

When the conversation was over, Fang Qing Yue turned and stared toward Han Sen for a long moment. A while later, he muttered, "Brother Han, are you not afraid that I will expose your location?"

"What is there to be afraid of? The Extreme King must already be in the Tianxia System by now, so it doesn't really matter," Han Sen said with a shrug. "Now you should understand why I don't want to bring you along. I cannot do the things you want me to, like stopping and collecting treasures along the way."

Fang Qing Yu's eyes brightened as he looked at Han Sen. "If that is true, you should definitely take me with you."

"Why?" Han Sen asked in surprise.

"Brother Han, I know you only want me off the ship so I don't get pulled into this, which was a kind thought. Also, I'm carrying a Wanjie Rubix Cube. You probably think that if I go with you, I might expose your location, and the Extreme King might have an easier time following you," Fang Qing Yu said.

"I'm glad that you understand," Han Sen said.

Fang Qing Yu shook his head. "But I also think you are wrong."

"How so?" Han Sen looked at Fang Qing Yu with interest.

"My presence might expose information about your escape, but that sort of exposure isn't necessarily a bad thing," Fang Qing Yu said seriously. There was no humor in his expression.

"What does that mean? I really don't understand," Han Sen replied.

Fang Qing Yu set the Wanjie Rubix Cube in front of Han Sen. "You can take the Wanjie Rubix Cube, and you can decide whether you want to turn it on or off. Or you could just throw me off the ship. But I must tell you that if you allow me to stay, I will expose your location with the Wanjie Rubix Cube. And I will take loads of photos."

"Fang Qing Yu, are you tired of living? Others might be afraid of the Thousand Treasures, but do you think a guy who disguised himself as a prince of the Extreme King would care about the life of some snot-nosed Thousand Treasures member?" Elysian Moon snorted in derision.

"Keep talking," Han Sen remained focused on Fang Qing Yu, and he didn't seem upset.

"Calm down, Elysian Moon. What I have said makes sense. I'm not selling Brother Han out." Fang Qing Yu paused. He looked at Han Sen and said, "Brother Han, you are escaping to Sky Palace, yes?"

"Yes," Han Sen answered immediately. He had never planned to hide the fact that Sky Palace was his destination. Otherwise, he wouldn't have let Miss Mirror know where he was going.

In fact, he wanted everyone to know he was going to Sky Palace.

"If I'm understanding the situation correctly, Brother Han, you are going through the Tianxia System to reach the systems of chaos in order to get to Sky Palace?" Fang Qing Yu asked.

"That is correct." Han Sen nodded.

"In that case, you should let me film this. And do it in HD quality." Fang Qing Yu sounded really excited.

Chapter 2448 Location Confirmed

"Talk me through your idea," Han Sen said to Fang Qing Yu. He was beginning to think that this young man was a very interesting person.

"The path you have selected isn't bad. You have taken a road that the Extreme King have no control over. Plus, you have a pretty amazing ship in the shape of a big whale. It is a fair assessment that the Extreme King won't catch up to you very quickly. But the road you have selected is also very dangerous. Even if the Extreme King don't catch you, your path is full of risks. Both the Tianxia System and the systems of chaos have innumerable dangers, many of which are impossible to predict or anticipate. And the Extreme King have three teams of knights in the systems of chaos. They will probably be your greatest opposition. But, if I send them a video of you at the proper time, we might actually be able to put them to use." Fang Qing Yu's excitement took on a mischievous edge.

A giant black beetle soared through the clouds, and upon the back of the black beetle rested a stone castle. Many Extreme King were moving about the castle as they fulfilled their various duties.

"Mr. Bao Qin! Mr. Bao Qin!" An old member of the Extreme King raced over to the floating garden, where Bao Qin was drinking tea.

"Old Butler, what's the rush?" Bao Qin asked the butler, taking a sip of tea and putting down the cup.

The old butler looked very excited. He stepped over to Bao Qing's chair and said, "We found him! We have found where Han Sen is!"

"Oh, where is he?" Bao Qin jerked his head up in surprise. The investigators themselves hadn't brought him this news, so he wasn't sure how the butler had received word.

"Here…" The old butler brought out a Wanjie Rubix Cube. He set it in front of Bao Qin and pressed one of the squares to show the video.

A boat appeared, traveling through a sea of blue clouds. A man sat on the small boat, appearing relaxed and comfortable as he paged through a book. At the front of the boat, a line of creatures were using their power to pull the ship forward.

The creatures were from a dozen different races, and there was even a Demon amongst them.

They were like huskies pulling a sleigh as they struggled to drag the boat forward. If they slowed down for a second, the man atop the boat would wave his hand and whip the creatures. The blows broke their armor and flesh, and they screamed with every strike. The man, meanwhile, never even looked up from his book.

One of the creatures pulling the boat, a Feather man, was covered in wounds. It looked as if he had received numerous beatings. His head was lowered, but he had secretly activated the Rubix cube. He looked very angry.

"Save me! If anyone can get me out of here, I will give them all the treasure I have in the Thousand Treasures Alliance. No, I will give seventy percent…" said the man's voice. Bao Qin stared at the Rubix cube on the table in front of him.

"What is going on?" Bao Qin looked at the man on the boat, and then realized it was Han Sen, the very man they were after.

The old butler was almost vibrating with excitement. "The Feather man pulling the boat is Fang Qing Yu. He is a member of the Thousand Treasures Alliance. He hired a group to help him explore the Tianxia System. While there, his group encountered Han Sen. Han Sen captured them and set them all to pulling his boat; he appears to be trying to escape the Tianxia System. Fang Qing Yu is a Feather, but Han Sen doesn't know he is a member of the Thousand Treasures Alliance. Fang Qing Yu has a Wanjie Rubix Cube that he's using to send out a call for help, hoping that someone will rescue him." The old butler sounded so excited. "Now that Fang Qing Yu is sending messages through the Wanjie Rubix Cube, we know where Han Sen is. All we must do is give chase!"

"Who is this Fang Qing Yu?" Bao Qin asked the old butler. Rather than seeming happy, his face had turned down into a frown.

The old butler quickly said, "I have checked. Fang Qing Yu is a Feather, but he is an orphan. He was taken in by an elder of the Thousand Treasures Alliance. He has nothing to do with the Feathers, and he has nothing to do with Han Sen. That elder from the Thousand Treasures Alliance has already sent people to the Tianxia System in order to save him."

"Good." Bao Qin nodded. He looked at the video on the Wanjie Rubix Cube. "Can you tell where he is within the Tianxia System?"

The old butler laughed. "The blue sea clouds. There are hundreds of them across the Tianxia System, but the clouds in different areas all have unique identifying aspects. Judging from the information we've gleaned from the video and the direction the boat appears to be proceeding, we have deduced they are located in Sea Cloud Number 75. We're in purple Sea Cloud Number 86, which isn't too far from Han Sen's position."

"Keep an eye on them, and turn us to an intercept course," Bao Qin said.

"Yes! Han Sen can't outrun us this time, no matter what," the old butler said, then he sent the order to turn the giant black beetle toward Han Sen.

As they began traveling through clouds that Han Sen had already passed through, the old butler frowned. "Weird. When they went through here, they must have left some trace of their passage, even if it was only a single hair. Why can I not sense anything? Did we go the wrong way?"

Bao Qin smiled and said, "If we found obvious evidence of their passage, then we'd know that we weren't on Han Sen's trail. He's too good to leave behind obvious signs of his presence. Go faster. We must be going the right way!"

"Yes," the old butler answered, and the black beetle accelerated.

They didn't discover any signs of Han Sen's presence, but based on the video of Fang Qing Yu's Wanjie Rubix Cube, they knew they were headed in the right direction.

Han Sen's little boat wasn't moving nearly as fast as the black beetle. By the old butler's estimation, they would catch up to Han Sen in another eighteen hours.

At that moment, they glanced at the video on the Wanjie Rubix Cube and saw that Han Sen's boat was coming to a stop. A group of cloud beasts appeared in front of the boat, then turned aggressively and attacked. Chaos ensued. Fang Qing Yu was trying to fight off the xenogeneics. He couldn't use the Wanjie Rubix Cube at the same time, so the video was switched off.

"Oh no! It is a bunch of high-level cloud beasts. A few of them are King class cloud apes. If Fang Qing Yu is killed, we'll lose track of Han Sen," the old butler said, looking glum.

"Go full speed! Find them before they finish fighting the cloud beasts," Bao Qin commanded, his face grim.

Chapter 2449 Demon Spiri

The giant black beetle flew at high speed toward the last location shown in the video. When they arrived, they found many cloud beasts in the midst of battle. But because they were surrounded by so many clouds, they could only catch occasional glimpses of the battleground.

Bao Qin ordered the black beetle to be brought to a stop, then turned back to the old butler. "Let's not get too close to the battleground. Before we enter, we should send someone in to scout."

Before the old butler could agree, a huge white whale appeared out of the clouds and headed straight toward them.

Following the white whale was a group of cloud beasts. They seemed very angry.

"Ready yourselves to fight!" Bao Qin shouted, frowning as the white whale approached.

The black beetle's Extreme King knights quickly assembled into battle formations. The big white whale approached at high speed, but instead of ramming the black beetle as they expected, the whale dove and went right under their ship.

Bao Qin and the Extreme King knights wondered why the white whale had decided to simply pass them by, but they didn't have much time to think about it. The cloud beasts that had been chasing the whale surged over them in a wave.

A King class group of giant cloud dragons were flying behind the cloud beasts, but even they seemed weak and unthreatening compared to what followed.

The giant cloud dragons were hitched to a rainbow-colored carriage made of cloud stone. Despite their incredible power and ferocity, the cloud dragons were being used as mere beasts of burden.

"D*mn it! It's the sea demon's carriage! We have to get out of here!" Bao Qin's face paled slightly, and his words were rushed.

But it was already too late. The sea beasts were upon them, and the giant cloud dragons dragging the stone carriage arrived before the black beetle.

The white whale had vanished at some point, and the giant black beetle was now surrounded by monsters of the clouds. The Extreme King knights engaged the cloud beasts in combat.

"Good job, everyone!" Han Sen said to Fang Qing Yu and the others as he admired the Extreme King, who were now fighting the cloud beasts.

"It is our honor to work for the captain and the little captain," one of the pirates said, bowing deeply. An ingratiating smile covered his face.

"The captain and the little captain are the smartest people in the whole universe. Those Extreme King aren't even fit to lick your boots."

"The captain is so handsome. The little captain is so beautiful. You both hold the universe in your hands, and every decision you make is a turning point in history."

"Long live the big captain and small captain! Long live the big captain and small captain!"

Han Sen looked at all the pirates who were gushing praises for him and Bao'er, and he couldn't help but admit that it felt pretty good. Bao'er was loving it.

"No wonder everyone wants to become a tyrant with an evil right-hand man. This is great," Han Sen thought happily.

Luckily, Han Sen hadn't deluded himself into thinking that this was actually his idea. Fang Qing Yu had come up with the plan, and Han Sen was only reaping the advantages of its employment.

It was just as Fang Qing Yu had said. The Tianxia System was way too dangerous, and getting through it safely might have been little more than wishful thinking. They hadn't been planning to encounter the scary cloud dragons, after all.

Han Sen didn't dare to fight the cloud dragons. He piloted the white whale away from them as he tried to escape. Then, he allowed Fang Qing Yu to create a scenario that would draw in the Extreme King search party. Once the Extreme King arrived, they had earned the ire of the monsters within minutes.

The cloud dragons weren't happy to have intruders in their territory.

Han Sen didn't know what the stone carriage behind the cloud dragons was, but after Fang Qing Yu used the Wanjie Rubix Cube to contact his Thousand Treasures step-father, they learned that it was the legendary Sea Demon Carriage. If not for the Thousand Treasures, Han Sen might not have fled from the carriage in time. It would have certainly been a nasty fight.

That Thousand Treasures elder used the Rubix cube to tell Han Sen that the Sea Demon Carriage was the most mysterious and scary xenogeneics in the Tianxia System. The legends said that the giant cloud dragons pulled the Tianxia System's leader in that carriage.

Not many people had ever glimpsed what was inside that carriage, though. When the Sea Demon Carriage opened, anyone who saw it usually died shortly thereafter.

The white whale hovered some distance from the battlefield. They hid amidst the clouds, and Fang Qing Yu looked very excited. He filmed the fight between the Extreme King and the cloud beasts intently, streaming the video to his Thousand Treasures step-father.

Fang Qing Yu took special care to capture the Sea Demon Carriage on video. He would never miss an opportunity to film that.

He wanted the chance to film the being inside the Sea Demon Car. He wanted a first-hand account of this fight. That information might be the most valuable thing he had ever possessed.

Of course, it wasn't just the information that would fetch a high price. The video itself would be worth a lot. Fang Qing Yu's step-father had already started working on it. The Thousand Treasures was the best organization in the universe when it came to making money, and a video like that would be a money-making machine.

The video would require some editing before it was released, though.

Han Sen really admired the business acumen of the Thousand Treasures. Plus, with Fang Qing Yu remaining in constant contact with his step-father, the Thousand Treasures could give them information about any creatures they encountered in the Tianxia System. Han Sen could avoid many potential dangers and pitfalls, and they wouldn't have to go up against a creature that might be too much for them. They could even detour around areas with a particularly high death toll.

"It's out!" Fang Qing Yu shouted very excitedly.

Han Sen looked back to the battleground. The cloud dragons were cringing away from the open door of the carriage, and after a few long seconds, something stepped through the open door.

All eyes were drawn to the newly-emerged monster. Han Sen had never seen a living creature like it before. Its body was like a black cloud, with a black demonic form standing somewhere in the middle. It was impossible to see exactly what the creature looked like, but it possessed a dark humanoid shape.

But the being seemed to have a shadowy tail, and its hair was like fire. A pair of eyes could be seen through the dark cloud, burning with a red and purple flame. Only its disturbing eyes could be seen clearly, as everything else about its form was murky and indistinct.

Bao Qin stood atop the castle, watching the scary creature emerge from the stone carriage.

"Demon Spirit, we of the Extreme King have never offended you. We were pursuing someone else along this path…"

But that scary creature didn't answer. Its eyes glowed evilly, and it threw a punch toward Bao Qin.

Boom!

Han Sen and the others didn't see the punch land, but they could see the enormous black beetle explode under the force of the shockwave. Blood rained everywhere, dyeing the blue clouds scarlet around it.

Some Extreme King knights hadn't been able to get clear of the black beetle, and so the hit destroyed their King knight bodies. They disintegrated, becoming a part of that red mist.

Bao Qin hung in the air, and the ghostly Demon Spirit teleported directly in front of him.

"It has started." Han Sen's eyes brightened with anticipation. There was going to be a deified fight. If the two fighters ended up badly injured, he could take advantage of the situation and claim them both.

Chapter 2450 Blood Eye Evil God Beast Soul

Han Sen watched the battle in the hopes of finding an opportunity to score some easy kills, but something soon happened that made him rethink his plans.

Music wafted into Han Sen's ears. Upon hearing the first note, Han Sen's mind seemed to buzz, like the vibration that would be left behind if someone struck him on the head with a hammer.

Han Sen only found the sensation to be slightly uncomfortable, but the Duke class pirates began to fall over, coughing up blood as they curled into fetal position. They clawed at their ears, screaming in agony. They were bleeding from all seven of their holes.

"Oh, no! A deified Extreme King has used a sonic attack. The white whale is tough, but it is weak against sonic attacks. We have to go!" Han Sen turned the white whale and piloted it far away.

The white whale was just a piece of technology, so it couldn't adapt to everything that was thrown at it.

Fang Qing Yu was the weakest person on board, and so he was doing far worse than all the others. Luckily, Han Sen released a King area that subdued most of the acoustic effect. If he hadn't done that, the sonic powers would have liquified Fang Qing Yu's brain.

The white whale traveled through the clouds at full speed. After tens of thousands of miles, the effectiveness of the sonic powers started to subside. But Han Sen's crew still suffered from the scary shockwaves of the battle.

After what had just happened, Han Sen was no longer interested in trying to kill the fighters once they were injured. He just wanted to leave the area, and that was that.

"Don't go! If you leave now, we won't film the fight. And if we don't film the fight, everything we've invested will be wasted. I have to go back and keep filming!" Fang Qing Yu shouted at Han Sen, as soon as he was feeling better.

"You're crazier than I am. You're willing to die for money?" Han Sen looked at Fang Qing Yu with utter shock. This man really did care about money above all else.

"The Thousand Treasures Alliance cannot invest in a venture that loses money. I have to go back," Fang Qing Yu said with obvious difficulty.

Seeing that Fang Qing Yu wasn't kidding, Gu Qingcheng said, "It won't matter how much money you make if you're dead, will it?"

Fang Qing Yu shook his head with a wry smile. "You guys don't understand. This isn't only about me. My team invested a lot into this. If you don't follow the plan we made, I won't be the only one getting screwed—my whole team will be! They invested all their money into this. That means they will all go bankrupt, and that might result in them all committing suicide."

"Give me your Wanjie Rubix Code, and I will film it for you," Han Sen said after a moment.

Han Sen hadn't wanted to leave so abruptly, either, but Bao'er, Ning Yue, and Gu Qingcheng were all on board the ship. He didn't want to put their lives at risk.Read latest chapters at

If he went back there alone, there wouldn't be as much to worry about.

"I don't know if—" Fang Qing Yu was shocked.

"It'll be fine." Han Sen took the Wanjie Rubix Cube out of Fang Qing Yu's hands. Then, he spoke to Bao'er. "Bao'er, take them farther away. I will catch up."

After that, he took the Wanjie Rubix Cube and exited the white whale. He headed straight back for the battlefield.

With Bao'er guiding them away and the little red bird protecting them, they should be able to survive an encounter with even a deified xenogeneic. Han Sen wasn't too worried about their safety.

And in regards to Han Sen himself, he knew he would be able to survive. Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone back alone.

The clouds were rumbling. The music sounded eerie and demonic. Under the force of the sonic power, a big blue cloud was roiling and rolling away like an ocean wave. Many xenogeneics and cloud beasts, which commonly lived inside such clouds, were all scrambling away as they fled desperately for their lives.

But some of the smaller cloud beasts and xenogeneics didn't have enough time to escape. They were killed by the sonic sounds. They died before they could leave the clouds, and their corpses were tossed along with the rolling clouds like flotsam caught by the tide.

Han Sen used his Dongxuan Area and Jadeskin. He summoned all of his strength to fight back that sonic power. But even still, he could barely withstand it as he drew near to the battlefield. He felt like his head was going to get ripped open by that sole piano note.

Han Sen's heart leaped in his chest, and he summoned a beast soul. It was an eyeball-shaped beast soul with a red pupil. It was the deified-class Blood Eye Evil God beast soul Han Sen had managed to retrieve from Du God City.

The Blood Eye Evil God's body was the eyeball Han Sen had managed to kill as it tried to escape. The statue of a thousand hands and a thousand eyes had merely some sort of host or shell that the creature inhabited.

Mutant Deified Class Beast Soul Blood Eye Evil God: Eye-type

The beast soul flew into Han Sen's left eye. In grew incredibly thin and formed itself into a half-sphere, then it fitted itself onto Han Sen's left eyeball like a contact lens.

Han Sen's left eye was veiled in red. His entire eyeball gleamed crimson, and a bloody light seemed to swirl within the orb.

The Purple-Eye Butterfly's power lay in its ability to analyze and rewind the history of an object. The power of the Blood Eye Evil God beast soul was different.

As the bloody color deepened within Han Sen's left eye, the red light of his pupil seemed to swirl restlessly. Suddenly, the red light poured out of Han Sen's eye.

The blood light wrapped around Han Sen's entire body, turning him into a bloody shadow. His face was no longer visible, and he seemed more like an unsettling absence than anything tangible. But his entire body, or what could be seen of it, was blood red.

When Han Sen became this blood shadow, everything in his vision changed.

Han Sen saw a giant cloud dragon flying far away. He could see the creature's eyes, and he saw himself reflected in those eyes. The next second, Han Sen's heart jumped. He leaped into those eyes.

Han Sen found himself hiding somewhere within the creature's vision, as if he had slipped behind the reflective surface of the cloud dragon's eyes.

Han Sen would be safe and invisible inside that space unless the eye's reflective surface was broken. That was the only way someone could hurt him now.

Han Sen hid within the giant cloud dragon's eye, and he turned, realizing that he could see what the dragon saw, as well.

When this giant cloud dragon's eyes met those of another dragon, Han Sen moved. He traveled into the eyes of the second dragon.

This movement was similar to jumping from mirror to mirror. He didn't have teleportation abilities, but he couldn't be attacked. And furthermore, no one could see his body.

It was like Han Sen could look into a mirror, then trade places with his own reflection.

Han Sen's entire body could teleport into the eyes of whoever he saw; rather than just assuming their vision, he was actually physically transporting himself.

But when Han Sen moved into the eyes of another being, the creature's pupils would turn blood red. It was an obvious indicator of his presence, and it would be easy for others to spot where he was.

After doing a few more jumps, a giant cloud dragon's eyes turned to meet Bao Qin's eyes. Han Sen immediately teleported into the deified Extreme King's eyes.

Han Sen's vision became Bao Qin's vision. Being in the man's eyes allowed Han Sen to see what he saw.

"I jumped straight into a deified elite's eyes?" Han Sen was ecstatic. Not even a deified elite could stop the powers of the Blood Eye Evil God beast soul. This surprised him quite a bit.
