"Hey, hey, what are you doing?" Akley was trembling in midair as Han Shuo grabbed him by the neck. He appeared to be in an extremely sorry state.
"Your enemies have caught up to us. I'm taking you away from here. If we stay here, we might be discovered!" Han Shuo casually replied and continued to fly with Akley in tow.
"So fast? Damn it, they are really tenacious. They actually chased us all the way to Elysium! "Akley cursed. He calmed down when he heard that the enemies were hot on their trail.
After Akley calmed down, Han Shuo picked up his pace. He grabbed Akley and picked remote places to travel. Along the way, mountains and rivers rose and fell without a trace of human habitation. They did not encounter any strangers.
After flying for several hundred miles, Han Shuo casually tossed Akley onto a barren hill and said, "We should have shaken them off. Continue to rest!"
Akley did not give up on recovering while Han Shuo was flying. With the help of a pellet of rejuvenation, his complexion gradually turned rosy and the wounds on his body gradually scabbed over.
The pellet of rejuvenation was extremely beneficial to the recovery of injuries. As a god cultivating in the edict of destruction, Akley's divine body could bring out the full potential of the pellet of rejuvenation. That was why he was able to achieve such a favorable outcome in such a short period of time.
"Be careful and take this opportunity to recover. Keep yourself in peak condition. Although this is my first time on Elysium, I believe that it won't be too peaceful here. If we encounter any mishaps, we will have the best chance of survival if we are in peak condition! "Akley suggested to Han Shuo after they sat down on the barren hill.
Having experienced countless battles of life and death, Han Shuo had long developed a good habit. The moment he landed, his avatar of death flew into the Cauldron of Myriad Demon and began to regulate his breathing.
With the Cauldron of Myriad Demon, Han Shuo's two avatars were in a state of cultivation at all times. Currently, both avatars were placed inside the Cauldron of Myriad Demon by Han Shuo. When he needed to use his energy, they would escape to Han Shuo's demonic infant. When they were not needed, they would directly cultivate inside the Cauldron of Myriad Demon.
Akley immediately recovered and ignored Han Shuo. His avatar continued to cultivate inside the Cauldron of Myriad Demon. Han Shuo's avatar looked around, thinking about the future.
Elysium was different from Profound Continent. The relationships on Elysium were much more complicated. The twelve Overgods had divided the vast Elysium into twelve Dominions, with each Overgod occupying a Dominions.
Every Lord God's God Domain would prohibit enemies from entering. Once discovered, they would be killed without mercy.
The Dominions of the Overgod of Life and the Overgod of Light strictly forbade gods cultivating in the elemental energy of death, destruction, and darkness, and vice versa.
The Dominions of Earth, Fire, Wind, Water, and Lightning were all unstable neutral forces. Usually, there would be a mix of forces in these five dominions. There would also be a small number of gods cultivating in the elemental energy of death, destruction, and darkness. Generally speaking, there would be something special about these dominions. For example, if there was a place where the element of death or darkness was extremely dense, it would attract gods cultivating in these two energies.
The Overgod of Destiny and the Overgod of Space would allow any god to enter their dominions. These two Overgods were basically perpetual neutral forces and had never participated in the bitter wars on Elysium for many years.
Generally speaking, the twelve Overgods were divided into several factions. The Overgod of Light and the Overgod of Life were on one side, and the Overgods of Earth, Fire, Wind, Water, and Lightning were on the other. This faction was the least united, and accidents often happened. For example, in recent years, the Overgod of Water and the Overgod of Light had been very close.
The three Overgods of Death, Destruction, and Darkness had formed an alliance, which was the Calamity Church. The Overgod of Darkness had formed an alliance with the Overgods of Death and Destruction only a few years ago. The Overgod of Death and Destruction had seriously threatened the Overgod of Light and Life for their own interests. It was almost impossible for the two factions to coexist peacefully. Most of the wars on Elysium were led by these two factions.
The Overgod of Space and the other gods cultivating in the edict of space roamed all major material planes. Their population on Elysium was the most scattered and had always been neutral. As they were the ones responsible for the interplanar transportation matrixes on every continent, almost all the other factions wouldn't make things difficult for them.
The Overgod of Destiny was the most mysterious of them all. He had never cared about worldly affairs or the affairs of the continent. No matter how many factions fought, the Overgod of Destiny wouldn't interfere.
However, when a few factions fought to the point where one side was on the brink of complete annihilation, the Overgod of Destiny would usually appear as a mediator. More often than not, the parties would listen to the Overgod of Destiny's advice and stop the endless fighting.
The reason why all parties had to respect the Overgod of Destiny was because the Overgod of Destiny was said to be the spokesperson of the Supreme Creator Deities and represented the will of the Supreme God.
Han Shuo had learned this information through various channels before he came to Elysium. In such a vast continent where all kinds of factions were entrenched and major family clans ruled, if one didn't understand some disputes and stood on the wrong side, one could very well face a calamity.
Due to his hatred towards the Church of Light and the Shrine of Ice, it was impossible for Han Shuo to remain neutral. On Elysium, it was impossible for a powerless person like him to maintain peace. It was a wise decision for him to side with the Calamity Church.
However, when Han Shuo finally arrived on Elysium, he felt somewhat lost. He didn't know where his future lay in such a high-level material plane where gods were as common as trees in a forest. He also didn't know where he should go in the future.
"You need to keep fighting and grow stronger. Demonic cultivators never fear challenges. They only look forward to them. When you become as powerful as the Exalted Demonlord, you won't have any problem going anywhere you want. You might even be able to return to your homeland! "Cauldron Spirit suddenly communicated with Han Shuo's consciousness as though it sensed Han Shuo's confusion.
"By the time I reach that stage, everything in my homeland will have changed. All the people I know will have died of old age!" Han Shuo thought of Earth and his parents. His heart suddenly felt sour and melancholy. He couldn't help but sigh.
Cauldron Spirit became silent after hearing Han Shuo's words.
After a long while, while Han Shuo was still immersed in the pain, Cauldron Spirit suddenly transmitted, "Someone is approaching. His strength is pretty good. Should we avoid them?"
Han Shuo immediately snapped out of his daze. He temporarily cast aside the messy thoughts in his mind and said, "Release a mystical demon. I'll take a look at the situation first!"
"Alright!" Cauldron Spirit released an invisible and formless mystical demon under Han Shuo's command. The mystical demon flew towards the area where the human was approaching.
The mystical demons refined by Cauldron Spirit were all powered by lowgods or midgods. Han Shuo had long witnessed the strength of those mystical demons and knew that the mystical demons refined by Cauldron Spirit were much more powerful than the spirit demons he had painstakingly refined. The invisible and formless mystical demons would not give off any signs of life when they weren't attacking. Gods who weren't abnormally powerful would have a hard time noticing the existence of a mystical demon.
A mystical demon rapidly flew towards the target area. Unaffected by gravity, the mystical demon arrived at the target area in just a few breaths.
An eerie old woman with a head full of silver hair and as thin as a dried corpse was laughing sinisterly in a low voice. Her hands were interweaving rays of death that shot in all directions.
Around the old woman, a group of five people were fleeing desperately in five different directions. They had terrified expressions on their faces.
The old woman cultivated in the elemental energy of death and appeared to be a midgod. The five fleeing people were lowgods, three males and two females. Two of them cultivated in the elemental energy of death, one cultivated in the edict of destruction, and the other two cultivated in the elemental energy of darkness.
"Run towards the valley. There's an interplanar transportation point over there. There will be regular divine guards there. As long as we reach the valley, this godhunter will automatically retreat!" A middle-aged woman cultivating in the elemental energy of darkness shouted to the two middle-aged men cultivating in the elemental energy of death.
A godhunter! Han Shuo was startled. He did not expect to run into the most notorious godhunters so soon after he arrived on Profound Continent!
A so-called godhunter was a group of gods who, in order to increase their own divine energy, would recklessly hunt and kill other gods who cultivated in the same energy as them.
Gods cultivating in the same elemental energy or edictal energy could absorb the divine energy in their opponents' bodies. Some people who were tired of the long and arduous cultivation and couldn't be bothered to travel to low-level material planes to gather the power of faith would hide in the wilderness and hunt gods who were weaker than them. They would then absorb the divine energy in their bodies to rapidly increase their own strength.
No matter which Divine Dominion they were in, godhunters were always severely punished. In every Divine Dominion, there would be divine guards who specialized in dealing with such godhunters. Once discovered, they would be killed without mercy! Generally speaking, godhunters wouldn't appear in cities or places where there were high-ranking gods. Instead, they would choose to hunt in sparsely populated areas where the divine guards couldn't easily cover. They would then target lesser gods who were alone.
Their greed and thirst for divine energy made them willing to take risks out of desperation. Many newcomers who had just arrived from other material planes might have been killed by godhunters on their way to Elysium before they could even see the sights of Elysium.
Any Divine Dominion would uniformly crack down on such lunatics who hunted gods of the same energy as them. However, the divine guards had limited time and energy and couldn't cover every corner. There was simply no way they could completely eradicate the existence of godhunters.
Before arriving on Elysium, Donna had repeatedly emphasized the importance of godhunters and told Han Shuo to be extremely careful. Donna had once said that some of those godhunters possessed extremely valiant strength. Some of them were even high-ranking members of large family clans. As long as they weren't caught, they would always be in the limelight.
The greed and thirst for divine energy would turn many ordinary people into godhunters at the right time. Even one's friends might take the role of a godhunter when one was seriously injured.
These pieces of information rapidly flashed across Han Shuo's mind. But before he could think about it in detail, his expression suddenly jolted. He discovered that one of the escapees who cultivated in the elemental energy of death was flying in his direction. Behind that escapee was a sinister-looking old godhunter. She was grinning sinisterly as she chased after the escapee.
