In the depths of the Dead Sea of the netherworld, Han Shuo suddenly fell silent. His body did not budge an inch, as though he had sunk into the deepest slumber. There was not the slightest sign of life.
Little Skull looked at Han Shuo who was standing blankly on the Bone Devil's body. For a moment, he was at a loss as to what to do. However, he could sense the powerful aura from Han Shuo's consciousness. This aura made him understand that Han Shuo was not truly dead.
"Master, what's going on?" the Bone Devil transmitted to Little Skull.
This Bone Devil, forged by Little Skull using tough bones, had been following Little Skull for a long time. Little Skull's strength made him instinctively fearful. He knew that Little Skull might not be the most terrifying existence in the netherworld, but he understood that Little Skull's continuous increase in strength would certainly make him stronger and stronger, surpassing experts one after another.
And yet, such a master actually had an incomparably mysterious father. The Bone Devil was very curious about Han Shuo who came from another plane of existence. He couldn't understand how an existence as powerful as Little Skull could have a father like Han Shuo.
"That's not something you should ask!" Little Skull replied. He walked a few circles around Han Shuo on the Bone Devil's body, sizing up the motionless Han Shuo, as though trying to figure out what Han Shuo was doing.
After a while, Little Skull patted the Bone Devil and instructed, "Alright, keep an eye on him for now. Don't worry about anything else."
"Yes, Master!"
In the netherworld where there was no concept of time, after an unknown amount of time, Han Shuo's consciousness moved. His soul traversed through the spacetime tunnel and directly descended into the Cemetery of Death on Profound Continent. He sat there motionlessly.
Although his body was motionless, the consciousness and demonic yuan within his body were circulating frantically. The enormous energy contained within his body was continuously condensing around the demon infant. As the demonic yuan continued to condense, the demon infant became clearer and clearer. It was as if a magical brush was slowly sketching out a beautiful painting. Even the pores and fine hairs of the demon infant could be seen clearly.
After an unknown period of time, the demonic yuan within Han Shuo's body was condensed by the demonic infant and flowed through his body at lightning speed. Han Shuo's demonic infant also became more and more visible.
After the epiphany, Han Shuo's body, divine sense, and demonic infant quietly changed. A breakthrough in realm meant a sharp increase in strength for Han Shuo. It meant that Han Shuo could possess more divine abilities, and it meant that Han Shuo could fulfill more wishes …
After a long, long time, Han Shuo awoke from his deep meditation. His pair of abstruse eyes sparkled with divine radiance. When he focused his attention on something, there seemed to be electric currents flowing in his eyes. It naturally brought about a palpitating pressure.
Compared to the last time, Han Shuo's body didn't change much. However, only Han Shuo himself knew where the changes came from. Without the need to spy on the surroundings through the mystical demons, Han Shuo's consciousness could detect any movement within a radius of several miles.
With a single thought, the connection between Han Shuo and Gilbert became ten times clearer. Han Shuo could also clearly feel the Little Skull's pleasant surprise due to the bloodline connection. In a trance, Han Shuo discovered that his consciousness had a completely different feeling compared to before. This feeling was extremely novel, and Han Shuo enjoyed it with joy.
Han Shuo joyfully felt the difference in his body. Now that he was in the Carnal Realm, all kinds of desires came one after another, as if urging him to quickly fulfill the desires in his heart, allowing those desires that had been buried in the depths of his heart for many years to be released.
After another period of time, Han Shuo adapted to the new state of his body. After successfully practicing a few demonic arts, he finally opened the boundary of the Cemetery of Death and let dark dragon Gilbert in.
"Master, my great master, you haven't called me for three years!" As soon as dark dragon Gilbert entered the Cemetery of Death, he immediately yelled loudly at Han Shuo.
"What? Three years?" Han Shuo was greatly shocked. He lightly cried out and immediately asked dark dragon Gilbert.
"Correct. To be precise, it should be three years and four months. Since the last time you said you wanted to cultivate, it has been a whole three years and four months. During this period of time, you haven't contacted me even once. I can't even sense your existence. Honorable master, just what kind of martial arts technique are you cultivating? Why is it as if you disappeared from this world? Even I can't sense your existence? "Gilbert asked Han Shuo in astonishment.
Three years and four months! Han Shuo was stunned by such a long period of time. He himself didn't think that a single closed door cultivation would take so much time.
Han Shuo himself felt that only a few months had passed. He didn't think that time would pass so quickly without him realizing it. Training in the demonic state and gaining enlightenment in the Carnal realm were only these two periods of time. Han Shuo didn't feel the passage of time at all.
What he could be sure of was that these two periods of cultivation were the periods that had taken up the most time. Three years and four months seemed to pass in the blink of an eye. Han Shuo didn't feel anything special, but he knew what three years meant to ordinary people.
"Gilbert, how have you been these three years?" Han Shuo hastily asked the dark dragon.
"Don't worry, we've been doing very well. The Valley of Sunshine is now under the control of our Soul Destroyer mercenary band. Laureton of the Cairo mercenary band has been killed by Trunks. A portion of the Cairo mercenary band has pledged their allegiance to us, and a portion of the berserkers have left the Valley of Sunshine forever.
The House of Menlo and the Rainbow Sickle mercenary band have also been defeated by us. Only the orc tribe and some small tribes survive outside the Valley of Sunshine. However, the Katar chief of the orc tribe has also expressed his trust in Trunks. Currently, the one in charge of order in the Valley of Sunshine is Trunks.
On the outskirts of the Valley of Sunshine, Janet's bandit band is the largest force. With the existence of Janet's bandit band, the merchants of Glorious Tanai will rely more on Trunks. Our business is also growing bigger and bigger. Currently, Trunks and Janet are secretly planning to deal with that grand duke of Kasi Empire, "dark dragon Gilbert explained to Han Shuo.
After hearing Gilbert's words, Han Shuo was first pleasantly surprised. Soon after, he thought for a moment and felt that Trunks' Soul Destroyer mercenary band had developed at an inconceivable speed. He couldn't help but frown and ask, "Back then, just Laureton's Cairo mercenary band was already as powerful as the Soul Destroyer mercenary band. Apart from that, there's also the House of Menlo and the Rainbow Sickle mercenary band. How did Trunks take control of the Valley of Sunshine so quickly?"
"Oh, there are many reasons. I only know that Miss Phoebe has invested a lot of gold coins into the Soul Destroyer mercenary band. Brettel City has even sent people to assist Trunks at a critical moment. Apart from that, that dark grand magus from the Calamity Church has always been secretly helping us without our consent. There's also Emily who has provided us with a lot of information. Because you defeated the sacred knight of the Church of Light, many extraordinary mercenaries have joined us. Whether it's the right time or the right place, the Soul Destroyer mercenary band has taken advantage. Trunks is also a person with brains and courage. That's why he was able to take control of the Valley of Sunshine in three years. "Gilbert explained to Han Shuo.
After listening to this explanation, Han Shuo suddenly discovered that Trunks had indeed taken advantage of all the favorable factors. In addition, Trunks had experienced death once and had become even more ruthless and calm. There was indeed a reasonable explanation for him being able to wipe out all the hostile forces in the Valley of Sunshine in three years.
"Not bad, Trunks has done a good job. Oh right, how is the current situation in the Lancelot Empire?" Han Shuo first praised Trunks, then immediately inquired about the current situation in the Lancelot Empire.
"Lawrence has become the new emperor of the Lancelot Empire. He is an extraordinary king. Under his leadership, the rebellion in the Lancelot Empire was quickly quelled. Before other countries could invade the Lancelot Empire, Lawrence had already stabilized the internal affairs and strengthened the strength of the army.
"Oh, right, Lawrence has taken great care of Brettel City. Brettel City now has its own magical transportation array. A steady stream of resources is transported to Brettel City from various cities. Many residents are also happy to live in Brettel City. That war maniac called Dorcas has become the hottest general in the Empire. In these three years, Dorcas has been restless. He has taken advantage of the seven grand duchies at war to burn, kill, and loot the seven grand duchies, raking in a lot of wealth for Brettel City.
He is a war maniac like Firenze and has never stopped invading the seven grand duchies for a single day. However, this fellow has a very good grasp of the situation. The seven grand duchies have yet to unite and attack Brettel City … "
With Gilbert's introduction, Han Shuo slowly gained a certain understanding of the current situation in Lancelot Empire. From Gilbert's words, Han Shuo learned that all the people and forces that were on good terms with him had been put in important positions due to Lawrence's control. Lawrence attached great importance to Han Shuo's existence. He did not mistreat Han Shuo's people just because he wasn't around. Instead, he used all means possible to rope them in.
