Han Shuo was lying in the middle of the large transportation matrix in the middle of the cemetery of death. His body was curled up in a fetal position, fresh blood flowing out of it. All of the clothes on his body had long since been torn to shreds. His naked body was covered in wounds that were so deep that bones could be seen.
Magical yuan silently circulated within Han Shuo's body while he was unconscious, nourishing his withered meridians and body like a trickle of water. It flowed through every nook and cranny of his body, bringing a cool and comfortable feeling to him.
Unknowingly, the wounds on Han Shuo's body gradually healed at an astonishing speed. It didn't take long for his body to return to its original state. There were no longer any traces of injuries. His body seemed to have become even more sturdy after being reconstructed after going through such painful torture.
The cemetery of death didn't see the sun or the moon all year round. After an unknown amount of time had passed, when Han Shuo slowly awoke, he felt that his entire body was no longer in pain. Every cell in his body seemed to be brimming with energy.
Han Shuo moved his body from his curled up position, and when he stood up, his body continuously crackled and popped, as if every bone in his body was cracking. Inspecting his body with his consciousness, Han Shuo suddenly discovered that his internal organs had yet to completely recover. With a thought, Han Shuo enveloped his internal organs with demonic yuan.
Wave after wave of bizarre energy flowed into Han Shuo's internal organs. Under the nourishment of the demonic yuan, Han Shuo's internal organs recovered a hundredfold faster. After a short while, Han Shuo could no longer feel any abnormalities in his body.
Letting out a light breath, Han Shuo left the cemetery of death and arrived at the nearby waterfall. He sat cross-legged, naked, on top of the most turbulent rock of the waterfall. He allowed the incomparably ferocious water to pour down in torrents, battering his unmoving body on top of the rock.
After a few more days, Han Shuo finally walked down from the rock. He looked in the direction of the entrance to the underground world and hesitated for a while. In the end, he walked towards the cemetery of death.
Then, a mark caught Han Shuo's attention. Han Shuo walked over and looked at it for a while. He pushed aside a few rocks and took out a letter from the depths of the ground. He used a special method to rearrange the words on the letter, and Han Shuo understood the contents of the letter.
The letter should have been sent by Emily. The letter was written by Emily herself, and it explained some key matters. The health of Lancelot Empire's king was getting worse and worse. Currently, the struggle for power between the princes in Ossen City had reached a white-hot stage. After Lawrence's identity was exposed, he became the most disadvantaged party.
Because Lawrence was the child of King Uhtred and the wife of the finance minister, Lawrence's identity was rejected by the nobles. Some people who valued tradition even clearly expressed that Lawrence could not have the right to inherit the throne.
Now that King Uhtred was still alive, those voices of discussion were forcefully suppressed, and could be considered to have straightened out Lawrence's identity. However, even if Uhtred acknowledged Lawrence's identity, the situation was still developing in a disadvantageous direction. Currently, Lawrence's position in Ossen City was somewhat awkward, and he was also the weakest among the princes.
Seeing that His Majesty King Uhtred's health was getting worse and worse, Lawrence was also secretly anxious. He knew that once Uhtred passed away, the situation in Ossen City would be difficult to control. At that time, not only would he, this illegitimate son, be unable to obtain the throne, he might even lose his life.
However, while Lawrence was living in fear and his days were incomparably difficult, Brettel City had become a standout. Favorable news came one after another. A ruined city suddenly showed signs of thriving vitality. Although Han Shuo was far away from the capital, his reputation was becoming more and more resounding.
It was precisely because of this that Lawrence thought of Han Shuo. He attempted to borrow Han Shuo's strength at this crucial moment, allowing Han Shuo to return to Ossen City to help him. He hoped that he could take advantage of Uhtred's life to recover from the disadvantageous situation. At the very least, with Han Shuo in Ossen City, the other princes would more or less have some misgivings.
After Han Shuo finished reading the contents, he had already made a decision in his heart.
As soon as he entered the Cemetery of Death, a melodious dragon roar resounded throughout the entire Cemetery of Death. Fortunately, the Cemetery of Death was enveloped by a boundary that never dissipated all year round. Otherwise, this dragon roar of Gilbert's would have spread over a radius of several hundred miles.
"Honorable Master, you've finally returned." Gilbert's dragon body soared in the sky, flying straight towards Han Shuo.
Gilbert's body seemed to have grown a bit larger. The dragon scales on his body had become as black as ink, carrying an evil, ancient desolation. Han Shuo knew that the evil aura came from Gilbert, and that ancient desolation must have been caused by absorbing the green dragon's core.
As Gilbert made a racket, his enormous body gradually shrunk, gradually turning into a human with coarse skin. Gilbert, who had turned into a human, had a distant and otherworldly look in his dark eyes. However, because the evil aura on his body was too heavy, that otherworldly aura was completely covered up.
Han Shuo only shot a glance at Gilbert, but he could already sense an even stronger power from Gilbert's body. He smiled and asked, "How is it?"
"Very good, very good. The green dragon's core was very powerful, allowing me to advance to rank two. In addition, I feel that even among rank two transcendent magical beasts, my current strength is still very strong. Wahaha, many thanks for Master's gift. "Gilbert laughed loudly, his voice filled with pride.
"I've received a piece of news from the underground world. I think you'll be interested in it." Han Shuo waited for Gilbert's wild laughter to die down before speaking to Gilbert unhurriedly.
"What news? Haha, I've now realized that my decision to follow Master was correct. If I hadn't followed Master, how could I have advanced to rank two so quickly? "Gilbert understood that all of this was a gift from Han Shuo, so he couldn't help but flatter him.
"Gilbert, I didn't expect you to be the grandson of the chief of the underground world's Black Dragon City. You have quite the background." Han Shuo looked at Gilbert with a smile. While Gilbert was startled, Han Shuo continued, "Your grandpa chief seems to be very worried about you. He even sent the dark elves to inquire about you. It seems that a runaway like you is quite favored."
"Great Master, how do you know all this? Have you been to the underground world's Black Dragon City?" Gilbert looked at Han Shuo in astonishment, asking in confusion.
He had never told anyone about his identity in the Black Dragon City. Gilbert believed that no one would know about it. Now that he heard that Han Shuo seemed to know everything about his background, Gilbert was truly puzzled.
"Your Black Dragon City has imprisoned some people. Among them are the dark elves of the older generation. Do you know someone called Adele?"
"Adele? I think I've heard of this name before, but I've never seen her. There are indeed some fellows who dare to offend us imprisoned in our Black Dragon City. However, I'm not interested in those things. Master, why do you ask? "
"It's this Adele. She promised your grandpa chief that she would help him find the whereabouts of the Black Dragon City. However, I killed this Adele. Because I absorbed some of her power some time ago, I almost set myself on fire and suffered a backlash. I want to ask about this Adele. "
Hearing Han Shuo's words, dark dragon Gilbert was also shocked. He stared blankly at Han Shuo, saying, "I heard that this Adele seems to be the former matriarch of the dark elves. This woman can communicate with the evil goddess Rose, whom the dark elves believe in. She has some very terrifying power in bed.
"Adele has been imprisoned in the Black Dragon City for many years. It's said that she's very beautiful. According to the nature of our dark dragon race, we should have done her long ago. However, it's precisely because she can communicate with the evil goddess Rose that no dark dragon dares to force himself on her. They're afraid that she'll kill them when she's happy.
"Master, it's said that Adele is very powerful. Even some of the rank two or three dark dragons in our race might not be her match. With her faith in the evil goddess Rose, legend has it that she can communicate with Rose and obtain the divine power of the evil goddess. Our race is afraid that killing her will anger the evil goddess. That's why we've always imprisoned her. Did you really kill her? "
"I killed her!" Han Shuo answered calmly.
"Wahaha …" The little lewd dragon Gilbert was excited. He looked at Han Shuo in adoration, saying, "Master, what's going on? What the hell is going on? Quickly tell your loyal servant the specifics of the situation. "
Seeing how excited Gilbert was when he heard this, Han Shuo angrily knocked him on the head. He then told Gilbert what had happened. Finally, he told him about the situation where he couldn't control his body's lust last time. Only then did he say with a sullen face, "I can be sure that after I was carried away by lust some time ago, besides absorbing Adele's power, there was also an even greater evil power in my body. That power carried an aura that shouldn't have appeared in this plane. If I'm not wrong, it should have come from the spider goddess Rose. I really don't know what's going on. Could it be that she found out that I killed Adele? Is there really a god in this world? "
After listening to Han Shuo's description of the situation, after the initial excitement, Gilbert became somewhat serious. He thought for a moment and said to Han Shuo, "Master, I heard my grandfather say that this world isn't as simple as I thought it was. Even with the strength of my race of dark dragons, we can only live in the underground world. It seems that it's because we're restrained by some kind of power. My grandfather's strength is so strong that it scares me, but even my grandfather can't escape the restraint of that power. I think that apart from the 'god' that we know of, I can't think of anyone else that can restrain our race of dark dragons in the underground world. "
With a deep frown, Han Shuo couldn't help but raise his head to look at the dusky, deathly still sky of the Cemetery of Death. He thought of the God Of Light that the Church of Light believed in, the holy aura that the Templar Knights and Kosse carried, and the feeling that the "Revelation" scroll gave Han Shuo.
He then thought of the existence of the Calamity Church, the skeletal staff in his hand, and the shadow of the thousand-meter tall giant that he vaguely saw in his mind when he first obtained the skeletal staff. Han Shuo had a faint epiphany and gradually believed in the illusory gods of this world.
"Master, perhaps you really were attacked by that spider goddess last time. However, it's said that in our plane, the power of ordinary gods can't truly interfere. Otherwise, they would be restrained by the laws of space. Look, even that perverted Spider Goddess couldn't do anything to you. This fully proves that she can't go against the restraints of the edictal forces. We don't have to be afraid of her, "dark dragon Gilbert said in a carefree manner.
Han Shuo silently nodded his head. This was the first time he realized how insignificant he was. He recalled the ancient aura of the thousand-meter tall giant that appeared in his mind last time and couldn't help but feel a bit more reverence in his heart. He said to Gilbert, "That's right, we can't guess the existence of gods. However, these gods are definitely restrained by the laws of space. Otherwise, if they descend on this plane, they might directly destroy it."
"Yes, gods are definitely opposed to each other. Otherwise, the Church of Light and the Calamity Church wouldn't have fought for so many years." Gilbert was also a blasphemer. He didn't have any feelings towards gods or evil gods. He was still carefree as if he didn't care about anything.
Han Shuo didn't think too much about it and nodded, "Alright, since you've evolved to rank two, continue to help Trunks in the Valley of Sunshine. I think the Valley of Sunshine will undergo a great change soon. With you there, the Soul Destroyer mercenary band will be a bit safer. Oh, right, pay attention to the matters in Black Dragon City. Your grandfather has been looking for you. I think even if you don't go back, you should send someone to send a message so that your grandfather won't worry. "
"Understood, Master. I think if my grandfather knew that I've advanced to rank two so quickly, he would definitely be very happy. That old fellow has been forcing me to train day and night in Black Dragon City. I've been training for so many years and I'm still at rank one. Look at me, I've just come out not long ago and I've already advanced. This means that his method is obviously not working! " Gilbert replied indifferently to Han Shuo. It seemed that he didn't take Han Shuo's words to heart.
"Alright, I have to return to Ossen City to take care of some matters. However, I will continue to pay attention to the Valley of Sunshine," Han Shuo said and stood in the transportation matrix after Gilbert left.
