Due to the great distance, interplanar teleportation consumed different amounts of energy crystals. The further the distance, the more energy crystals would be consumed.
The distance between Profound Continent and Elysium was uncountable. It was much longer than the time it took for Han Shuo to travel from the Abyss realm to Profound Continent.
It was only when Han Shuo's body felt a little uncomfortable that he finally sensed that the distorted space around him had stopped fluctuating.
In the next moment, Han Shuo instantly sensed the extremely intense elemental energy of death. It was even more intense than the element of death in the netherworld that Han Shuo's consciousness had sensed. Greatly alarmed, Han Shuo unfolded his consciousness, closed his eyes, and carefully sensed. He suddenly discovered that it wasn't just the element of death, but the other seven elements as well.
Before coming to Elysium, Han Shuo had heard from Donna and the others that Elysium was the most suitable material plane for gods to cultivate. Previously, Han Shuo didn't quite believe it. But now that he sensed the incomparably intense elemental energy, he immediately agreed with Donna's statement. His heart was filled with astonishment.
"Kid, don't take up space. Come on out!" a boorish roar suddenly sounded in Han Shuo's ears.
Han Shuo was startled. When he opened his eyes, he discovered that he was standing on an interplanar transportation matrix just like the one in the Cemetery of Death. This interplanar transportation matrix was even larger than the one in the Cemetery of Death. It seemed to be composed of many smaller interplanar transportation matrixes. The space beneath his feet was divided into small zones.
Not far in front of him was a three-story-tall platform. On it stood three people wearing ink-black armors and wielding ink-black pikes with intricate patterns. Upon probing with his consciousness, Han Shuo discovered that all three were lowgods of darkness. They possessed early-stage or mid-stage strength.
When he looked to the side, he discovered that he was standing in a valley. The valley was covered with many strange green plants and rugged rocks. At the center of the valley was the interplanar transportation matrix that he was standing on.
"Come on out! Don't obstruct others from using the transportation matrix!" On the platform, that Lowgod wearing ink-black armor and wielding a spear pointed his spear at Han Shuo.
With a faint smile, Han Shuo leaped into the air. His body suddenly swayed, and he floated in the air in a somewhat strange posture.
The gravity here was twenty-seven times higher than on Profound Continent! After stumbling, Han Shuo immediately realized that the gravity here was different from the Profound Continent.
Due to the huge difference in gravity, Han Shuo's levitation spell using the elemental energy of death was much more taxing than usual. He wasn't able to adapt immediately, which was why his body was unsteady.
Very soon, Han Shuo adjusted himself and walked out of the Interplanar Teleportation Formation at a slower pace.
The gravity on Elysium was so much higher than on Profound Continent that it would affect anyone's flying speed. Demigods who could travel unhindered on other continents would have a hard time flying on Elysium.
"It's a Lesser Deity of Death. It seems like he's also a newcomer. Otherwise, he wouldn't have used our interplanar transportation matrix here." The Lesser Deity of Darkness who had just berated Han Shuo said to the two beside him in a low voice.
"Come on out and walk out of the valley. You will see the Emissary there!" the Lesser Deity of Darkness shouted again after Han Shuo walked out of the interplanar transportation matrix.
After landing on the ground from the transportation matrix, Han Shuo unfolded his consciousness and gradually extended it outwards. He soon discovered that the valley was extremely vast. There were many gods of varying strengths scattered in various regions.
Following the Lesser Deity's instructions, Han Shuo walked straight ahead. Soon, he saw several buildings. Those buildings were tall and rugged, and he could vaguely see the silhouettes of people flashing by.
"Newcomers?" In front of a building in front of them, an old man sat behind a black wooden table. He seemed to be busy with something as he asked without raising his head.
"Yes," Han Shuo replied.
The old man raised his head. He had a ghastly pale face and disheveled hair. He casually glanced at Han Shuo and asked absentmindedly, "Do you have a divine tablet?"
"Nope, I was just about to get one," Han Shuo replied smilingly. He could tell that this old man was a late-stage Lesser Deity of Death.
The divine tablet was the passport to Elysium. Every true god would have a divine tablet. It was similar to the identity card of Han Shuo's original world. Any god would have a divine tablet. Without a divine tablet, one couldn't even enter most of the regions on Elysium. Even if one died, one wouldn't be able to identify their corpse.
Before coming to Elysium, Han Shuo had learned about this common knowledge through Donna and the others. He also knew that newcomers who had just arrived on Elysium could get a divine tablet at the place they came from. However, it wasn't free. It required crystal coins!
"Oh, so you know the rules. Alright then, hand over eighty blue crystal coins. I'll get it done for you!" the old man laughed mischievously and extended his hand towards Han Shuo.
It wasn't just on Elysium. In many high-level material planes, as long as there were gods, the currency of circulation was crystal coins instead of gold coins. To gods, gold coins were just ordinary metals. They didn't contain any energy and therefore had no value at all.
Crystal coins were currency formed from purified energy crystals. Every crystal coin contained energy, and this energy could be used to activate interplanar teleportation matrices, smelt divine artifacts, and set up all kinds of mysterious barriers and seals. It had a wide range of uses and was very useful.
However, gods couldn't absorb crystal coins to form divine energy. Those that could were called divine essences, which were even rarer. Back in the Void, Han Shuo had only come across a few pieces by chance. The divine essences of death that could be absorbed had long been used by him.
Although crystal coins couldn't be absorbed by gods, they had become the currency of circulation among the gods due to their wide range of uses.
Just like the gold coins on Profound Continent, crystal coins were also divided into three grades: blue crystal coins, purple crystal coins, and black crystal coins. The energy contained in a purple crystal coin was equivalent to the total energy of a hundred blue crystal coins, while a black crystal coin was equivalent to the total energy of a hundred purple crystal coins.
"Eighty?" Han Shuo stared blankly for a moment before he asked, "Isn't it supposed to be fifty according to the rules?"
Under Han Shuo's attentive gaze, the old man's eyes flickered for a moment before he coldly groaned and said, "Fifty was a long time ago. Now it's eighty. If you don't have that many crystal coins, you can work as a miner in this valley for a few years. When you have earned enough crystal coins and gotten your divine tablet done, you can leave this valley."
What kind of person was Han Shuo? He immediately figured out the situation from the momentary flicker in the old man's eyes.
What Donna and the others had told him was definitely correct. Getting a divine tablet only cost fifty blue crystal coins. The reason this old man wanted eighty crystal coins from him was because he saw that Han Shuo was a newcomer and was trying to scam him.
Many gods who came to a high-level material plane for the first time, as they lacked experience, didn't understand the situation, and didn't know about the existence of crystal coins, had no choice but to take out all the valuables they had on them and exchange them for crystal coins. If they didn't have many valuables on them, they could only stay in this valley and work as a miner for a period of time until they accumulated enough crystal coins and got their divine tablet done.
This old man definitely wouldn't dare to lay his hands on gods who had the backing of major family clans. Therefore, he would only scam newcomers like Han Shuo.
"Are you sure it's eighty blue crystal coins?" Han Shuo put on a faint smile and asked for confirmation.
Han Shuo didn't lack those thirty blue crystal coins. Before he came, Donna and the others had each tossed a few purple crystal coins to Han Shuo. After he and Cauldron Spirit blew open Eriksson and Kaiser's space rings, not only did they obtain three divine weapons, but they also obtained close to a hundred purple crystal coins. Why would they care about a mere thirty blue crystal coins?
What made Han Shuo unhappy was that someone dared to scam him as soon as he arrived on Elysium!
"Eighty blue crystal coins, not a single coin less!" The old man was getting impatient. He thought to himself that Han Shuo was just a newcomer who didn't have anyone to guide him. He reckoned that Han Shuo didn't have any powerful backers.
"Cough … cough …" Suddenly, a young man covered in cuts and bruises stumbled over from the direction Han Shuo came from. He seemed to be in a daze. He coughed out a mouthful of blood after every few steps. It seemed that his injuries were extremely serious. The aura of destruction on his body was extremely obvious.
"I want to apply for a divine tablet!" The extremely frail young man immediately said weakly. His silver hair was charred and his blue eyes were lifeless.
"Eighty blue crystal coins, not a single coin less!" the old man said in a ritualistic manner after taking a glance at the young man with his brows bunched.
"No matter how much it is, put it on my tab. I will return you when I have the money!" the young man said weakly.
"Tab?" The old man burst into laughter as though he had heard the funniest joke in the world. "Young man, you must have been chased all the way here with great difficulty, didn't you? It seems that your injuries are indeed not light. Your brain must have been damaged by someone, right? There has never been a precedent of keeping accounts here! "
"No matter where I am, I can always put it on my tab. Why can't I do it here?!" Although the young man was incomparably weak, his tone was very domineering. The aura of destruction around him grew thicker and thicker, as though it would explode at any moment.
"Young man, this is Elysium. A character like you may be incomparably honorable on a low-level material plane, but on Elysium, hmph, you better know your place. I have seen many people like you. You are used to being domineering and you can't change your temper in a short period of time. But it doesn't matter. Our place is a place that specializes in getting rid of such bad tempers! " The old man laughed mischievously. He shot a cold glance at Han Shuo as though his words were directed at Han Shuo as well.
Upon finishing those words, the old man cleared his throat and suddenly let out a shrill whistle.
As soon as he let out his whistle, a dozen or so gods wearing jet-black armor and wielding exquisite spears suddenly rushed out from several buildings nearby. The leader of the group was an early-stage midgod. He wore a grave and stern expression. After he arrived, he took a glance at the scene and asked, "Who's causing trouble?"
"Hehe, I've run into someone who wants to pay on credit!" the old man said with a sinister smile.
Upon hearing those words, the leader's face remained grave and stern while the other divine guards started laughing. They looked at Han Shuo and the young man with faces filled with ridicule and teasing.
