Han Shuo followed behind Donna and entered the Lavers Residence. After passing through many energy towers and boundary towers for a while, they arrived at a tall building Donna resided in.
The interior was brightly lit under the illumination of magical lamps. After arriving at a spacious hall, Donna gestured for Han Shuo to take a seat before she smilingly asked Han Shuo how he managed to get there.
Han Shuo briefly described to Donna some of the things he encountered from the valley. Donna listened attentively to Han Shuo's narration before she lamented with lingering fear, "It seems that I have been inconsiderate. I did not foresee that you would run into godhunters, not to mention several times in a row. Fortunately, if Lord Erebus hadn't found Brovst, perhaps you would have been in deep trouble!"
"I heard that Erebus is one of the seven Divine Guard Chiefs of the City of Shadows. When he arrived at the valley, I sensed the terrifying aura from him. What kind of strength does he possess?" Han Shuo bunched his brows. He was very curious about this Erebus whom he had never seen before. He had carefully observed the battle between Erebus and Brovst and wanted to confirm his speculations about the strength of the two through Donna.
"That's right. Lord Erebus is one of the seven Divine Guard Chiefs of the City of Shadows. He ranks third in strength and possesses mid-stage highgod strength. He is a well-known expert in the City of Shadows!" Donna explained, "The seven Divine Guard Chiefs are all from the five major family clans of the City of Shadows. My uncle Avery is also one of the seven Divine Guard Chiefs. However, my uncle only ranks fifth in strength and possesses early-stage highgod strength!"
After listening to Donna's introduction of the distribution of forces in the City of Shadows, Han Shuo's interest was suddenly piqued. He hastily asked, "Other than your House of Lavers, what are the other four major family clans in the City of Shadows? Which one is the strongest?" After arriving in an unfamiliar environment, one should first familiarize oneself with one's surroundings and learn who was the most dangerous and who one should not offend for the time being. Han Shuo had experienced this before.
Donna put on a faint smile after hearing Han Shuo's words. She immediately explained to Han Shuo about the distribution of powers in the City of Shadows.
Han Shuo quickly understood the situation from Donna. In the City of Shadows, other than the House of Lavers where Donna was from, there were also the House of Sainte, the House of Kinson, the House of Kisa, and the House of Buller. Among them, the House of Sainte was the strongest. The patriarch of the House of Sainte, Wallace, was the City Lord of the City of Shadows. The top three of the seven Chiefs of Divine Guards in the City of Shadows were from the House of Sainte. Erebus was also a member of the House of Sainte. It could be said that the House of Sainte was the most powerful and influential power in the entire City of Shadows.
The four major family clans, including the House of Lavers, were obviously not as powerful as the House of Sainte. The strengths of the four family clans were about the same. The members of these four family clans also possessed lofty statuses in the City of Shadows. They had their own divine guards and controlled many shops and gymnasiums in the City.
The House of Sainte was the most powerful family clan in the City of Shadows. No other forces or family clans could threaten the House of Sainte's position in the City of Shadows. The four major family clans followed the House of Sainte's lead and had always followed the House of Sainte's footsteps. The members of the four major family clans were very respectful towards the House of Sainte. However, the four major family clans competed with each other, openly and covertly, for experts to join their family clans, for energy ores and rare metals in various regions.
In short, in order to make their family clans stronger, all the family clans spared no effort to improve themselves. This included obtaining talents and all kinds of scarce resources. They dared not compete with the House of Sainte for anything, but they were not afraid of other family clans.
After briefly describing the situation in the City of Shadows to Han Shuo, Donna saw that Han Shuo was in deep thought and did not say anything. She patiently waited for Han Shuo to digest her words.
After a while, Han Shuo nodded smilingly and said to Donna, "I didn't expect that the House of Lavers isn't the most powerful family clan in the City of Shadows. Haha, I thought that your family clan is the most powerful!"
"We have been working hard. Unfortunately, the House of Lavers has only been developing for a short time. We are far behind the House of Sainte, which has tens of thousands of years of history. On Elysium, those ancient family clans that have existed for a long time usually have late-stage highgod experts, or even more. Only such family clans can be considered first-rate family clans. Our House of Lavers, for example, can only be considered a second-rate family clan at best! " Donna said in a self-mocking smile. Then, she looked at Han Shuo smilingly and asked, "Are you disappointed to hear this?"
"Disappointed about what?" Han Shuo stared blankly for a moment.
"Disappointed that our family clan isn't the most powerful force. Won't that restrict your future development?" Donna replied smilingly.
"That has nothing to do with me." Han Shuo shrugged and smilingly said, "I have no intention of relying on your family clan. I have no intention of becoming a divine guard of any family clan on Elysium for the time being. Therefore, I don't need to be disappointed."
"Brian, I'm going to explain the situation on Elysium to you!" Donna put on a faint smile and continued, "On Elysium, unless you are a highgod with formidable strength, you will have to attach yourself to a powerful family clan in order to have a foothold in Elysium. Take our Dominions of Darkness, Death, and Destruction as an example. We have formed an alliance to form the Calamity Church. Other than the three Overgods, the Patriarchs of the Calamity Church are patriarchs of ancient family clans. The core members of the Calamity Church are also made up of elites from various large family clans. It is nearly impossible for those who are innocent to truly join the Calamity Church. For someone like you who has just arrived on Elysium, if you don't have a family clan's identity, you will be a hindrance in many matters."
After listening to Donna's explanation, Han Shuo forced a smile and nodded. He replied, "I understand what you mean. But for the time being, I don't have any plans to do anything on Elysium. All I want is to learn more about the situation on Elysium so that I can travel around and strengthen myself!"
After hearing Han Shuo's explanation, Donna did not force Han Shuo to join the Lavers Family. "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Since you have just arrived in the City of Shadows, let me show you around. If you change your mind, our Lavers Family will always welcome you!"
"Sure, I would like to see the City of Shadows for myself," Han Shuo stood up smilingly.
"Come, let me show you around our family clan. You can stay here for the time being. When you find a better path, you can leave our family clan." Donna stood up and led Han Shuo all the way to the top of the building. She pointed at the towering buildings that reached the clouds and started explaining to Han Shuo.
The gymnasiums, smelting rooms, and residences of certain special characters were all described by Donna. Han Shuo's consciousness was infinitely powerful. He could memorize everything after Donna introduced them to him.
"Little sister, who are you with?" Suddenly, a deep and resounding voice sounded from the top of a tall building on the opposite side. A majestic figure entered Han Shuo's sight. He bore a strong resemblance to Donna. He looked like a man in his thirties on Profound Continent. However, after learning about the lifespan of gods on Elysium, Han Shuo knew that this person was far older than that. That person cultivated in the energy of destruction and possessed late-stage midgod strength.
"Elder brother, this is a friend of mine. I have mentioned him to you before. His name is Brian and he comes from a material plane called Profound Continent," Donna introduced Han Shuo to that person from a hundred meters away.
"Oh, you should make some preparations. We will be heading to the Space Dominion very soon," Han Shuo said. Donna's elder brother, Diwei, nodded indifferently. He did not look at Han Shuo seriously and returned to his room on the top floor.
"That's my elder brother, Diwei. That's just how he is. He doesn't like to talk to people. Please don't mind him!" Donna explained to Han Shuo.
Han Shuo nodded smilingly and did not say much. People from Elysium had an innate sense of superiority towards people from other material planes. Han Shuo understood this from the way Bolten, Li Wei, and the others behaved when they first arrived on Profound Continent. It was normal for Diwei to have such an indifferent reaction. If he had been so enthusiastic after learning that Han Shuo came from a low-level material plane, Han Shuo would have found it strange.
"Let's go, I'll show you around. I didn't see you bring out any powerful divine weapons the last time we met. Since you have come to our Lavers Residence as soon as you arrived on Elysium, I must show you some respect!" Donna said in a high-spirited manner. She pulled Han Shuo and led him outside.
The Lavers Residence was so large that it naturally had more than one entrance. This time, Donna and Han Shuo left through another entrance and headed towards the most flourishing street in the district. They were surrounded by shops selling items that gods needed. Han Shuo was dazzled by the variety.
"Actually, I don't need any divine weapons. On the contrary, I have a lot of divine weapons in my possession," Han Shuo said to Donna smilingly as they walked on the street filled with all kinds of shops.
"What?" Donna stared blankly for a moment before she giggled and said, "Before I left Profound Continent, I only left you a dozen or so purple crystal coins. Those purple crystal coins were enough for you to find me, but they were far from enough to purchase suitable divine weapons. Even if you bought any divine weapons, you must have been deceived by someone. They are definitely not good stuff."
"Then take a look at these divine weapons. Are they good stuff?" Han Shuo handed a space ring to Donna. He stored the incomparably precious divine essences and some divine weapons that were useful to him into another space ring. The space ring he handed to Donna contained all kinds of divine weapons and items that he had collected in the Abyss realm. Some of them were from the Abyss, some were from Kaiser and Eriksson in the third layer of the underground world, and some were taken from the valley of the Godhunter Alliance when he was collecting divine souls.
After the seal on the space ring was removed by Han Shuo, Donna immediately knew what was inside.
Donna wore an incomparably odd expression as she stared at Han Shuo. She looked through all the items in the space ring and forced a smile, "I think we are indeed here to sell divine weapons! Brian, I really don't understand where you got all these things from. I couldn't tell that you are a rich man! "
