"Eh? Why are you here too?" Kelly, who had met Han Shuo once, finally noticed Han Shuo's presence and cried out in surprise.
Back in Kasi Empire, Han Shuo and Kelly had joined hands and dealt a heavy blow to the Shrine of Ice. Although Han Shuo and Kelly didn't have a deep friendship, they had fought side by side after all.
"If you can come, why can't I come?" Han Shuo could only force a smile. Ever since Kelly and that middle-aged man appeared, Donna had looked as though she was facing a formidable foe. Han Shuo didn't need to think to know that the middle-aged man was an enemy and not a friend. Both sides were on different sides. This also meant that Han Shuo and Kelly would very likely have to fight to the death.
Han Shuo had a pretty good impression of Kelly. The Druidic Order was Lancelot Empire's most important business partner. No matter how one looked at it, Han Shuo didn't want to become enemies with Kelly. But judging from Donna's expression, Han Shuo knew that he had no choice and felt somewhat helpless.
Kelly sighed. He too was aware of the current situation. He didn't seem too willing to make an enemy out of Han Shuo, but he was just as helpless as Han Shuo.
"What are you all standing here for? You didn't come all the way here just to enjoy the scenery, did you?" The middle-aged man who came with Kelly saw that everyone was staring blankly at him and didn't do anything. He looked at the crowd and asked with a smile, "What's the matter?
"I didn't expect Lord Olde to come. This is getting more and more interesting!" Donna suddenly relaxed and said with a smile.
"My main purpose in coming here is to find the remains of my ancestor. Of course, I also want to take a look at the wonders of this place. After all, it seems that my ancestor died because of this strange place!" the middle-aged man named Olde explained with a smile and a nod to Donna.
Hearing Olde's words, Han Shuo suddenly had a thought. Could the Tree of Life at the bottom of a deserted island in the Boundless Sea be the ancestor that Olde was looking for?
From the moment Olde appeared, Han Shuo, who cultivated in the element of death, felt somewhat uncomfortable. Just like how gods of darkness would be especially sensitive to gods cultivating in the element of light, Han Shuo's avatar cultivating in the element of death would only be sensitive to gods cultivating in the edict of life.
The Tree of Life at the bottom of the deserted island was obviously transformed from a very powerful god cultivating in the edict of life. After hearing Olde's words, Han Shuo immediately made the connection and guessed that the remains he buried might be the one that Olde was looking for.
However, Han Shuo would only bury these thoughts in his heart and would never reveal them at this moment. That area was too close to the Cemetery of Death. If Olde knew the location of that place, he would very likely know the location of the Cemetery of Death as well.
As a cultivator of the edict of life, Olde should be very sensitive to the elemental energy of death. Han Shuo was a cautious person and naturally would not say anything.
Olde's words not only made Donna's party, but even Kaiser and Eriksson didn't seem to believe him.
"Lord Olde, if you don't mind, we can discuss it together!" Kaiser invited with a sunny smile on his face.
"That would be great. Hehe, I was just worrying about the situation here!" Olde readily agreed and walked towards Kaiser's party.
As he approached Han Shuo's party, Han Shuo noticed that Donna was staring at him vigilantly as though she was ready to deal with Olde's attack at any moment.
Olde stopped in front of Donna and chuckled, "Miss Donna, there's no need to be so nervous. I'm just here to take a look at the situation. As long as you don't intend to destroy all life on this continent, I won't do anything to you!"
"If that's the case, then that's for the best!" Donna was still very cautious and guarded against Olde. She pretended to be relaxed.
"As cultivators of the edict of life, we are all people who love life. We won't put others to death unless we have no other choice! Hehe, the reason why we had such a big fight with those people last time was because they wanted to destroy all life on the continent. My ancestors had no choice but to intervene. As long as you don't have such intentions this time, I believe that both of us will have a very pleasant journey! "Olde said with a beaming smile. Although his attitude was very gentle, his tone still carried a deep meaning.
Donna did not say much and only nodded silently. No one knew what she was planning.
"Hey, you're Brian, right?" Olde suddenly glanced at Han Shuo with a look of interest.
Han Shuo was startled. He didn't understand how Olde knew him. He looked at Olde in puzzlement and nodded woodenly.
"I've heard some things about you from Kelly. Hehe, you're quite interesting. Not a bad lad. However, it's a pity that you've chosen to cultivate in the elemental energy of death!" Olde said with a smile as he gave Han Shuo a few deep glances.
Han Shuo was stunned. He didn't know what Olde meant. He didn't try to act smart and answer.
Donna, Bolten, and Bowen looked at Olde with astonishment and then looked at Han Shuo strangely. They couldn't understand why Olde would be interested in a nobody like Han Shuo.
"You're on your own!" Olde didn't express too many thoughts. He nodded at Han Shuo and walked towards Kaiser and his party with a smile.
Kelly, who was behind him, exchanged glances with Han Shuo, forced a smile, shook his head, let out a sigh, and followed Olde.
On the other side, Eriksson didn't look too happy when he saw Olde walking towards him. He let out a soft groan but didn't voice his dissatisfaction.
On Profound Continent, the Shrine of Ice and the Druidic Order had been fighting openly and covertly for a long time over the supply of believers. The grudges between the gods in the mortal world had also affected the gods in charge. It was only natural that they didn't get along well with each other.
"Come on, let's continue inside!" Kaiser softly exclaimed. He then shot a glance at Donna from afar and said, "Lord Olde, if you don't mind, how about you guide us?"
"No, I'm just following you. Haha, you don't need to mind me too much!" Olde rejected Kaiser's proposal and replied smilingly.
"Alright then, let's go!" Kaiser didn't insist and took the initiative to lead the way. He secretly gave Eriksson, who was putting on a sour face, a few meaningful glances, hinting that he shouldn't spoil the plan at this juncture.
The party seemed to have suddenly forgotten the existence of Donna, Han Shuo, and the others. They headed straight for the Ninth Realm Mystical Yin Harvester.
Han Shuo, who was standing beside Donna, could tell that Donna heaved a sigh of relief when Olde rejected Kaiser's proposal. After Kaiser and his party had walked some distance away, Donna solemnly instructed the few youngsters behind her, "This time, if it's not necessary, try not to provoke that Olde. He's notorious for being a troublemaker. As long as he doesn't make an enemy out of us, we don't have to worry about him!"
It was evident that Donna was very wary of Olde. The group of haughty youngsters also expressed their agreement after hearing those words. It appeared that they all knew about Olde's background.
Among the party, Han Shuo was the only one who knew nothing about Olde. He couldn't help but ask, "Is this Olde very difficult to deal with?"
Donna forced a smile and nodded. She explained, "Olde is notorious for being a busybody. His strength is also extraordinary. In our Elysium, Olde is a very strange fellow among midgods. Generally speaking, he won't be particularly interested in anything. But when he does, he won't let go and won't stop until he achieves his goal. It's a real headache! "
Elysium! This was the first time Han Shuo had heard Donna mention their background. He was shocked.
Han Shuo had heard a little about Elysium through various channels. Both Bechymos and that person inside the Holy Grail had mentioned Elysium on more than one occasion.
According to Han Shuo's understanding, Elysium should be the highest level material plane out of all the material planes. Legend had it that Elysium was the material plane where the Supreme Creator Deities resided. The elemental energies on Elysium were denser than any other material plane. It was the most suitable place for gods to comprehend elemental edictal energy.
Elysium had the most energy ores, the most powerful gods, and the most ancient family clans. Legend had it that Elysium was boundless and filled with countless mysterious tales. It was the center of all material planes and the home of the gods.
In short, according to what Bechymos and that person in the Holy Grail said, the Elysium was the birthplace of the gods. It was also the central place where the gods of numerous material planes gathered. Almost all the Overgods resided on the Elysium.
There were all kinds of forces on Elysium. The most powerful forces were, of course, the twelve major forces with Overgods. Many ancient family clans pledged allegiance to the twelve Overgods. Many of the ancient family clans on Elysium were not only engaged in incessant wars on Elysium, they were also engaged in battles on other material planes.
In this vast universe, more than ninety percent of the low, medium, and high level material planes were controlled by those ancient family clans and the twelve Overgods on Elysium.
Having heard so many legends about Elysium, Han Shuo knew what Elysium signified. Now that he had confirmed from Donna that they were from Elysium, Han Shuo finally understood why youngsters like Bolten and Li Wei would feel so superior after arriving on Profound Continent.
Elysium. When I finish my business on Profound Continent, I will personally go and see what Elysium is like, Han Shuo thought to himself.
"Come on, let's follow them!" Donna instructed while Han Shuo was making up his mind.
Kaiser, Olde, and the others were nowhere to be found. Donna, Han Shuo, and the others hastily followed after them. They did not encounter any other anomalies along the way. Following the location that the spiritdemon had previously scouted, Han Shuo, Donna, and the others arrived at the Ninth Realm Mystical Yin Harvester that was shrouded in dense mist of mystical yin aura.
Standing there and sensing the extremely dense mystical yin aura in the surroundings, Han Shuo greedily took a few deep breaths. He could feel the mystical yin aura entering his chest and abdomen, slowly filtering through his muscles, meridians, and bones before being absorbed and transformed by his demonic infant. It was a wonderful feeling.
As he gazed into the distance, Han Shuo discovered that a few towering mountains and rivers had been moved to this place by someone with extraordinary energy. The marvelous Ninth Realm Mystical Yin Harvester had been transformed into the most miraculous Ninth Realm Mystical Yin Harvester. Han Shuo could not be more astonished.
Having arrived at this place and looking at the incredible scenery around him, Han Shuo was so impressed by the person who deployed the Ninth Realm Mystical Yin Harvester that he didn't know how to express himself. Such a vast and majestic project was not as simple as moving mountains and draining seas. It required the alteration of numerous laws of heaven and earth. To be able to accomplish such a magnificent feat, the terrifying strength that Han Shuo dared not imagine was beyond his imagination.
"This is too miraculous. This seems to be man-made. Who in the world would have the courage to accomplish such a magnificent feat?" Olde cried out in disbelief.
"Could it be that some overgod came to this material plane by chance and expended his divine energy to create such a magnificent formation?" Kaiser was extremely astonished as he muttered to himself.
"That's impossible. Nothing here can be accomplished by elemental energy or edictal force! Perhaps only a few overgods could create such a magnificent spectacle! "Eriksson said in a deep voice.
Everyone shook their heads and smiled wryly at his words. They understood that those overgods would not be so senseless. The overgods had always held grudges against each other, so it was impossible for them to join forces. However, everything here seemed to be made by someone. They racked their brains but still couldn't figure out what was going on.
"This, this is too incredible!" Donna couldn't help but cry out in surprise as she looked at the towering mountains and rivers that seemed to have been twisted into a strange pattern by someone.
Han Shuo noticed that the mountains and rivers were distorted as though they were transformed by some kind of demonic art. Some of the traces on the mountains gave Han Shuo a sense of déjà vu. However, when he thought about it carefully, he couldn't figure out what was going on.
The scene here was beyond Han Shuo's imagination. Han Shuo was speechless as he gazed at the huge Ninth Realm Mystical Yin Harvester that was formed by the rips of the earth and the mountains as the eye of the formation.
"I think that we can only figure out what's going on here after we reach the deepest part!" Olde suddenly became excited after sighing for a while.
Not only Eriksson and Kaiser, but also Donna and the others were hesitant when they heard Olde's words. Before coming here, they had vaguely learned about the dangers of this place based on what their ancestors had told them. Therefore, they began to worry about their own safety when they heard that Olde wanted to enter.
Before they even reached this place, they had already been beaten to a pulp by a dozen mystical demons. As long as they used their brains to think, they would know that the most mysterious area would definitely be the most dangerous. Therefore, they didn't dare to advance recklessly.
"You fellows, what are you afraid of? Didn't you come here to enter? Why are you all hesitating now that you're right in front of us? "Olde sneered.
"Let's go!" Han Shuo suddenly spoke. He was the first to enter. After entering, he turned around and smiled at Donna, "Come, follow me. I don't think there'll be any big problems!"
