As soon as Field left, Donna immediately asked Han Shuo, "What did my father talk about with you?"
"He just talked about the Darkness Shrine. There's nothing special about it." Han Shuo smiled and said to Donna, "Your father's luck is pretty good. The Darkness Overgod specifically sent him a spiritual message. It seems like he thinks highly of him. Hmm, with this, his position in Hushveil City will be unshakable in the future. "
In a divine territory governed by a Quintessence Overgod, as long as the Overgod took a liking to you, you would definitely rise to prominence one day. Field's strength was clear for all to see, and he was quick-witted. With Hushveil City in his hands, the Darkness Overgod would definitely promote him.
"Nothing else?" Donna was a little bashful. She blushed and whispered, "He didn't mention anything about the matter between us?"
Donna was still a little worried. She was afraid that Field would have a different opinion on the matter between her and Han Shuo. It was impossible for Donna to ignore Field's opinion.
After thinking for a moment, Han Shuo reminded Donna, "Hehe, your father didn't say anything. He only told me to treat you well." To prevent Donna from thinking too much, Han Shuo reminded her.
Donna understood. After hearing Han Shuo's words, she immediately knew that Field had no objections. Her face turned even redder. She stared at Han Shuo and whispered, "Then, will you listen to my father?"
"What do you think?" Han Shuo held Donna's little hand and smiled wickedly as he stared at Donna.
Donna and Han Shuo stared at each other for a few seconds. Then, she retreated in panic. She lowered her head in embarrassment and angrily stomped on Han Shuo's foot to vent the dissatisfaction in her heart.
"I will be leaving for a while to meet the three of them. I will come to Hushveil City to look for you after I'm done with my discussion." Han Shuo looked sincerely at Donna and said, "If there's nothing urgent to attend to in Hushveil City, make some preparations. When I come looking for you, come with me to the Fringe."
Donna was obviously pleasantly surprised. But after hesitating for a moment, she sighed softly and said, "I'll discuss this with Father. There are a lot of things that need to be done in Hushveil City, and our family is short on manpower. Let's see what Father thinks."
"Don't worry. Your father is protected by someone above him. He will be safe and sound in Hushveil City. Besides, it's not like you can stay in Hushveil City forever to help him. I have a lot of work to do in the Fringe, "said Han Shuo as he held Donna's hand and smiled ambiguously.
The Fringe was indeed very busy. However, with Phoebe, Emily, and so many other members of the Han family running things, the Fringe wasn't really short on manpower. It was just an excuse for Han Shuo.
"I'll talk to Father," said Donna happily. It seems that she will have a good talk with Field.
"Okay. I believe your father will be willing to let you go," said Han Shuo as he reached out to tidy up Donna's hair. "Alright, there's no time to lose. I'll be leaving now. I'll look for you as soon as I'm done with my discussion. "
Donna was rather reluctant to part with Han Shuo. She had intended to be a little more friendly to him before he left. However, when she recalled that Han Shuo's body was rather strange, she gave up on the idea. She gently reminded Han Shuo to be careful before she let Han Shuo leave.
After leaving Hushveil City, Han Shuo headed straight for Mirage City. According to Field, the Shrine of Darkness was located in the Blackdomain Forest located at the center of the Darkness Dominion. The Blackdomain Forest was the border region between Mirage City, Hushveil City, and the City of Shadows.
The Blackdomain Forest was filled with towering ancient trees. The sunlight and moonlight would be blocked by the enormous tree leaves. Even under the scorching sun, one would feel very gloomy.
Back when he was in the City of Shadows, Han Shuo had guessed that the Shrine of Darkness was located in the Blackdomain Forest. As the Blackdomain Forest was a restricted area for several cities, it was usually sparsely populated. The major cities strictly forbade outsiders from entering the Blackdomain Forest. Gods who disobeyed the advice of the Shrine of Darkness never returned alive.
Back when Han Shuo guessed that the Shrine of Darkness was located in the Blackdomain Forest, he did not have the courage to explore it. Back then, Overgods with Quintessence were legendary existences in Han Shuo's eyes. Back then, his strength was too weak and he did not have the confidence to take the risk.
Although the journey from Hushveil City to the Blackdomain Forest wasn't a short one, Han Shuo's current speed was really fast. In just half a day, he arrived at the entrance of the Blackdomain Forest. Sensing the element of darkness in the Blackdomain Forest that was much denser than other places, Han Shuo took a deep breath and stepped into the Blackdomain Forest.
Although Han Shuo confidently said that he would be fine in front of Field and Donna, Han Shuo was still rather worried when he actually stepped into the Blackdomain Forest. If the Overgods of Death, Destruction, and Darkness were to attack him together in the Blackdomain Forest, Han Shuo wasn't confident that he would be able to escape easily in such a special place.
After stepping into the Blackdomain Forest, Han Shuo unfolded his consciousness and slowly sensed the unusual flow of the element of darkness. After sensing for a moment, Han Shuo headed towards the region where the element of darkness was the densest.
The Overgods of Darkness, Death, and Destruction are looking for me? What are they up to? Along the way, Han Shuo had been pondering this question, but he couldn't come up with an answer.
According to the Overgod of Death, Nestedt, the reason the three invited Han Shuo to the Blackdomain Forest wasn't just to unite the Fringe. Originally, Han Shuo had no intention of participating in the War of the Gods. But judging from Nestedt's tone, it sounded as though no continent could escape the war.
Even the Dominions of Space and Fate, which had always advocated staying out of worldly affairs, would inevitably be affected. It was likely that the war wouldn't be as simple as most people thought it to be.
After learning some secrets from the divine soul of Kauze, Hegemon of the Life Dominion, and learning about the special influence the existence of godhunters had on the Twelve Quintessence Overgods, Han Shuo grew extremely wary of the Twelve Quintessence Overgods. He couldn't understand why they would watch him grow stronger and use his power to open Aethernia.
It was precisely because of these doubts that Han Shuo took the risk to come to the Blackdomain Forest.
Rustle! Rustle!
Han Shuo stepped on the soft leaves and strolled forward. He didn't break through the air.
Sensing the distribution of the element of darkness in his consciousness, Han Shuo identified his direction and slowly made his way to the center of the Blackdomain Forest. Along the way, Han Shuo didn't discover any living beings in the Blackdomain Forest. The deathly stillness of the forest made it seem rather unusual.
As Han Shuo ventured deeper into the Blackdomain Forest, Han Shuo discovered that the other elements in the world were getting scarcer and scarcer while the element of darkness was getting denser and denser.
All of a sudden.
As soon as he took a step forward, all the weak light completely disappeared. Han Shuo was suddenly plunged into complete darkness. It was also at this moment that Han Shuo suddenly discovered that there was no longer any elemental energy around him except for the purest element of darkness.
Probing with his consciousness, Han Shuo discovered that he hadn't entered the region where the element of darkness was the densest. It was obvious that he hadn't truly entered the Shrine of Darkness.
In this realm of absolute darkness, vision was completely useless. Han Shuo could only rely on the senses of his consciousness to move forward step by step.
After an unknown period of time, Han Shuo suddenly discovered that he had arrived at a source of darkness. In front of him, the element of darkness was released and drifted in all directions.
The incomparably vast element of darkness was as boundless as the widest ocean. It seemed that this was the source of the element of darkness that was scattered in every corner of the Elysium.
The power of the Quintessence!
Han Shuo immediately knew that he had arrived at his destination and that he would soon be able to see the Overgod of Darkness.
Only the power of the Quintessence could be so terrifying and seemingly endless. It was also only the power of the Quintessence that could give off an unparalleled, powerful deterrent force.
"Cough, cough …"
Han Shuo cleared his throat twice, intending to reveal his identity.
It was at this moment that he suddenly discovered that the element of darkness around him had changed. It suddenly pressed down on him. In an instant, the seemingly endless element of darkness condensed together and enveloped every part of Han Shuo's body like a cage. It surged towards him with great force.
Han Shuo's heart jolted. He felt an incomparably terrifying pressure from the energy that was surging towards him. Without a second thought, the body that was barely fused together using the energy of space split into two. The two avatars suddenly dispersed.
Han Shuo had never been able to fuse the two avatars back together. Although he looked like a single person on normal days, when the two avatars clashed with each other in battle, it would be extremely disadvantageous for him. Han Shuo wouldn't need to make a fuss over a minor character. He could just fuse the two avatars back together.
However, this time, he was facing an Overgod of the Quintessence. Han Shuo dared not let his guard down.
The two avatars separated far away from each other. Two divine energies that obviously clashed with each other were unleashed from both sides. Han Shuo didn't care what the Overgod of Darkness was up to, but he immediately formed the strongest barrier he could to protect himself.
The two avatars that were supposed to deal with a pseudo-overgod like Jarre suddenly felt an incomparably powerful pressure. Under the influence of the Quintessence, the endless element of darkness seemed to be mutating. It kept fusing together and turned into droplets of pure energy of darkness. Every single drop seemed to possess the power of a highgod.
Suddenly, those droplets of darkness once again fused together and turned into a vast ocean that drowned Han Shuo. The ocean of elemental energy turned into an enormous whirlpool of darkness. It pulled both Han Shuo's avatars into it and spun at high speed. It seemed as though it would devour everything in its path.
Every time that enormous whirlpool of darkness spun, Han Shuo's two avatars would weaken a little. In just a few moments, it seemed as though the defenses of the two avatars would be completely crushed.
Han Shuo was greatly alarmed. He suddenly felt that he had been rather rash in coming to someone else's lair.
After he arrived, he didn't even have the time to say a word before the Overgod of Darkness attacked him. And judging from the power of the attack, it seemed as though it could threaten his life. His two avatars seemed to be on the verge of collapsing.
The power of an Overgod of the Quintessence was indeed incomparably powerful!
