Little Skull, Metal Elite Zombie, Wood Elite Zombie, Earth Elite Zombie, Water Elite Zombie, and Fire Elite Zombie lined up in a row inside the special boundary field. The six new lifeforms that had gained intelligence were looking at Han Shuo with eyes brimming with anticipation, waiting for Han Shuo's opinion.
Among the six, Little Skull was a lowgod cultivating in the energy of death and had reached the mid-stage lowgod realm. Wood Elite Zombie, Fire Elite Zombie, Earth Elite Zombie, and Water Elite Zombie, due to the fortuitous encounters they had, had ascended to the mid-stage lowgod realm. Wood Elite Zombie, who had obtained the energy from the Tree of Life, had also reached the mid-stage lowgod realm, just like Little Skull.
Apart from Metal Elite Zombie, the strength of the six had increased by an astonishing amount. In addition to the transformations they had undergone after absorbing the energy of gods, each of them possessed the innate talent of their own element. They were born with the ability to utilize the energy of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. With this talent, they could cultivate in the energy of various elements. Han Shuo dared not imagine what they would become in the future.
The elemental energies on Elysium were so dense that it was indeed a suitable place for them to cultivate. However, there were too many factions on Elysium and many places were filled with dangerous battles. Although the six of them had gained intelligence, Han Shuo was still worried. Besides, they could not all stay with him. Otherwise, it would not be a pleasant thing for both them and Han Shuo.
Han Shuo was in a dilemma. He was hesitant as he did not know how to decide whether the six should stay or leave.
"Father, we have thought it through. We want to venture outside by ourselves. Don't worry, after staying in the Netherworld for so long, we know how to deal with danger. We also understand the situation on this continent. Just let us go and let us go, "suggested Han Shuo. Little Skull had been with Han Shuo for the longest time and was the one who had evolved the fastest in the party. When he saw that Han Shuo was in a dilemma, he suggested, "How can I do that?
"How can I do that? This place isn't like the Netherworld. Experts are everywhere on Elysium. A lone ranger could very well encounter unimaginable dangers. How can I be at ease?!" Han Shuo had a terrible headache. Han Shuo had poured too much emotion into these six new lives. Every time he thought of the dangers they might encounter, he wanted to keep them in the netherworld forever.
"Father, we can only grow when we encounter danger. Don't worry, Father. We all have innate abilities. As long as we live in a suitable place, we will be able to escape from danger. Father, only the aura of death is abundant in the netherworld. It's simply not suitable for the five of us to develop. We want to become stronger, we don't want to always rely on father's strength. We've all grown up! "the earth elite zombie said loudly as he rubbed his head and puffed out his chest.
In Han Shuo's eyes, the six of them were still children who had yet to grow up. Although Han Shuo knew that they were indeed very safe in some special places with their innate abilities, he still did not dare to let them leave.
"Father, we know a little about the situation on this continent. After we leave with you, we will split up and go to the other Abysses. Little Water will go to the Divine Dominion, and Little Wood will go to the Life Dominion. In those places, we are all people who cultivate in the same profound energy. As long as we don't cause any trouble, we shouldn't encounter any danger. Only by coming into contact with those powerful and advanced life forms can we evolve and become stronger faster, "Little Skull looked at Han Shuo and continued to try to persuade Han Shuo.
The others also chimed in. They seemed to have already discussed what to do in the Netherworld. One reason after another, methods to deal with the enemy, came out of their mouths one after another. Many of those words were very childish, but some of them were indeed very practical. It seemed that they were not acting on impulse.
Han Shuo listened to the discussion of the six little ones with a bitter smile. He suddenly had the feeling that his son had grown up and wanted to make his own decisions. This feeling made him feel somewhat gratified, but more than that, there was a sour feeling in his heart. The reluctance in his heart could not be dispelled no matter how hard he tried.
However, Han Shuo also knew that what the six of them said did make some sense. According to them, the netherworld had already been conquered by them. There was no longer anyone or anything in the netherworld that could threaten them. Just like how Han Shuo had insisted on leaving Elysium in the beginning, living in a world without an opponent was a very helpless and painful thing — especially when one knew that there was an even vaster and boundless world out there!
After thinking for a long time and under the incessant begging of the six little ones, rationality finally won over emotion. In the end, Han Shuo helplessly nodded and said, "Alright, I agree to let you leave me and develop in other Dominions. Perhaps this is indeed the most suitable opportunity for you. However, you must promise me one thing!"
"We promise!" the six little ones said in unison.
"No matter what, you must protect your own lives!" Han Shuo solemnly exhorted, "Only by living well can you continue to grow stronger. You must remember this!"
"Understood, Father. We will protect ourselves!" Little Skull nodded. The other five little ones also nodded.
"Also, we must keep in touch. Hmm, every fifty years, we must gather at Ethereal City, the main city of the Space Dominion. No matter what happens, you must come to the main city of the Space Dominion every fifty years. The time will be counted from today onwards. Understood?" Han Shuo instructed.
Upon hearing that they could travel alone, the six little ones cheered and expressed their understanding. They immediately agreed to it.
Seeing how excited they were, Han Shuo felt helpless. He understood that they had grown up and did not want to be tied down by a tiny netherworld. There was nothing he could do about it.
For a period of time after that, Han Shuo never left the gymnasium he rented. He stayed with the six little ones and helped them understand the dangers and dangers of Elysium more quickly. He told them about the ways of the world, what they should pay attention to and who they should not trust. Relying on his own experience, Han Shuo shared everything he knew without holding anything back. He did not care if they could comprehend it or not.
Two months later, when Han Shuo discovered that he had nothing more to say to the six little fellas who were nagging at him every day, he had no choice but to go to a remote wasteland outside the City of Shadows and summon the six little fellas one by one.
"Remember, you must live well!" Before they parted, Han Shuo exhorted them again and again. Even he himself felt that he was becoming more and more like a long-winded old man.
After listening to Han Shuo's lecture for two months, the six little ones put on bitter faces when they saw that Han Shuo was about to give up. They looked at Han Shuo pitifully and begged Han Shuo to stop.
"Anyways, remember everything I've said. Remember every single one of them. Protect yourselves and don't stir up trouble for me …" Han Shuo's mouth was parched from talking so much that he finally stopped. He waved his hand and said a bit desolately, "Go, go. Be a bit more promising, I won't be seeing you guys off!"
"Father, you will be proud of us in the future!" The six little ones promised one after another. They were all somewhat sad but more than that, they were happy to be freed from Han Shuo's nagging. After bidding farewell to Han Shuo, the six little ones hastily disappeared from his sight, as though afraid that Han Shuo would continue talking.
Han Shuo sighed as he watched them turn into tiny dots and disappear from his sight. He knew that the six little ones' departure this time was not as simple as returning to the Netherworld. In the future, he could no longer rely on necromancy magic to bring the six back to his side.
However, Han Shuo had no idea that the six little ones who left him today would bring a great shock to the Elysium in the near future. Many years later, when the six little ones had all become overlords of their own territories, Han Shuo would realize what this separation meant for the Elysium Continent …

By the time they returned to the City of Shadows, Han Shuo had yet to recover from his desolate state. Before entering the city, Han Shuo handed over his divine tablet and an amethyst coin. After that arrogant divine guard examined Han Shuo's divine tablet, he suddenly put on a somewhat strange expression.
"Are you Brian?" the arrogant divine guard suddenly became polite and asked Han Shuo in an amiable manner.
Han Shuo nodded and asked, "What's wrong?" The last time Han Shuo and Carmelita entered the City of Shadows through this gate, the divine guard did not recognize Han Shuo.
"Erm … Erm, Miss Carmelita is looking for you. If you are that Brian, you'd better go and meet her at once!" The divine guard handed over Han Shuo's divine tablet with both hands. The purple crystal coin was also placed on top of the divine tablet – he did not dare to accept it!
Han Shuo put on a bitter face after hearing those words. It was only then that he recalled what Carmelita had told him. She had told him to visit her every once in a while. It appeared that the two months had indeed passed. It was at this moment that Han Shuo realized just how resourceful Carmelita was in the City of Shadows. Even the divine guards at the city gates received the message with just one command.
"Understood." Han Shuo nodded with a bitter face. He casually took the divine tablet and the purple crystal coin and walked into the city.
"Hey hey, why doesn't that youngster have to pay an amethyst coin? He's not even a member of the House of Sainte! "a few people queuing behind Han Shuo started to complain.
"Shut up! We don't need you to teach us how to do things. If you continue to spout nonsense, none of you will be allowed into the city! "the divine guard who had been polite and amiable towards Han Shuo suddenly put on a cold face and shouted irritably.
The few people who complained lowered their heads and dared not say another word. In the City of Shadows, the House of Sainte was royalty. As outsiders, they had all heard of how terrifying the House of Sainte was. Therefore, when they heard the divine guard's rebuke, they all shut their mouths.
Han Shuo's mood suddenly improved a little when he saw their sullen faces. He thought to himself that it really does feel good to have special privileges.
Having brought Han Shuo back to the Sainte Residence, the divine guards at the gates of the Sainte Residence recognized Han Shuo. In addition to Carmelita's instructions, Han Shuo was led by a respectful divine guard all the way to the place where Carmelita cultivated.
"Brat, hurry up and come up here! You took so long to see me!" Before Han Shuo could enter, Carmelita's voice sounded from the top of a raised platform on the fifty-meter-tall building.
The interior of the Sainte Residence was also protected by a defensive boundary. Unless one was a midgod, one would not be able to fly above the boundary. Although Han Shuo could use demonic arts to fly to Carmelita's side, doing so would expose his true strength. Therefore, he had no choice but to obediently climb up the stairs.
"Oh, you're here too, Big Sister Karina!" Han Shuo asked in a friendly manner when he saw the one-eyed fat woman. Han Shuo was rather surprised that she was able to make it to this place alive.
"Nice to meet you, Brian. If it wasn't for you, my lady and I wouldn't have been able to walk out of that mountain! I have yet to properly thank you. Now that you have come, I will formally thank you! " Said Karina as she stood up. In a very formal manner, she followed the etiquette of Elysium and greeted Han Shuo.
"Don't mention it. It's my duty. We are companions to begin with!" Han Shuo smiled amiably and hastily walked towards the plump woman to stop her from completing the etiquette.
"Alright, alright, Karina. You may return to what I have instructed you to do," Carmelita waved her hand, indicating that Karina could leave. Karina put on a faint smile, bowed at Han Shuo, and left.
After Karina left, Carmelita angrily said, "Goddammit, those bastards disappeared without a trace. By the time our men got there, all that was left was a destroyed piece of Heaven's Gift. This is infuriating!"
Even without Carmelita's reminder, Han Shuo had already guessed that this would be the outcome. Since Han Shuo had escaped with Carmelita, and the situation in the Miasma Cloud Mountain Range had been exposed, those outsiders who had ventured deep into the Darkness Dominion would have no choice but to flee as soon as possible. It would be a wonder if they would stay there and wait for their deaths.
"So what if they escaped? You have memorized their faces. As long as you keep investigating, it's only a matter of time before you find them. In the future, when you are stronger, you can go to the Life Dominion and the Water Dominion and get rid of them. You'll have your revenge then! "Han Shuo consoled smilingly.
"Talking to you is so satisfying! Not bad, I'm about to find out who those people are. Hmph, when I recover from my injuries and find out where they are, I'll make them pay with their blood! "Carmelita said hatefully.
Han Shuo thought to himself, You better not go to the Life Dominion and the Water Dominion like crazy. Once your traces are found in those two places, it'll be hard to say what will happen to you. You might die even faster. Han Shuo didn't dare to provoke her verbally.
"By the way, where have you been hiding all this time? Why didn't you come to see me?" Carmelita narrowed her triangular eyes and started interrogating Han Shuo.
"I consulted you about a lot of the energy of destruction the last time. I took the opportunity to comprehend it, so I didn't come to see you," Han Shuo explained.
Carmelita rolled her eyes at him and grumbled, "You cultivate in the energy of death and yet you insist on asking me questions about the energy of destruction. What are you trying to comprehend blindly? How can someone like you achieve anything in the energy of death if you don't focus on proper cultivation?"
Han Shuo smiled but did not explain. Carmelita didn't seem to care about Han Shuo's strength. She said casually, "Forget it, since you have come to see me, I have a great deal to recommend to you."
"What deal?" Han Shuo was stunned.
"The medicinal pellet you gave me last time was very miraculous! I have mentioned it to my second uncle and he is also very interested in that medicinal pellet of yours. The descendants of our family clans in the City of Shadows are sent to all sorts of places to carry out missions from a young age. Injuries are unavoidable. With that medicinal pellet of yours, our chances of survival will increase by a lot. I have discussed it with my second uncle and we have officially invited you to become the ace pharmacist of our House of Sainte! "
"Not interested. I don't want to be bound by any large family clan, not even your House of Sainte!" Han Shuo shrugged and rejected this opportunity that many people dreamed of.
"Hah, I knew you would refuse!" Carmelita laughed heartily and said, "That's more like it. Joining a large family clan requires you to abide by many rules, but some fools just have to squeeze their way in! Hmm, actually, what I really meant was for my second uncle to order those medicinal pellets from you. You can also open a shop like this in the City of Shadows and I will advertise it for you. You will definitely make a lot of money. In the City of Shadows, as long as you have money and power, as well as some contributions, you can establish a small family clan of your own. With my protection, no one will dare to do anything to you. Why do you have to suffer the stink of others? "It seemed that Carmelita had already thought of everything for Han Shuo. She really wanted to repay Han Shuo for saving her and Karina's life. She had very meticulously thought out every step for Han Shuo.
Han Shuo's eyes lit up after hearing Carmelita's words. He was truly tempted. By refining medicinal pellets, Han Shuo was not afraid of being exposed, nor would he have to expose his true strength. On top of that, he could accumulate wealth and, according to Carmelita, he might even have the opportunity to establish a family clan of his own. To Han Shuo, this was indeed a great temptation.
Han Shuo had promised Emily and the others that he would bring them to Profound Continent once he had established himself on Elysium. Han Shuo had quite a few friends on Profound Continent. After learning about the convenience and unique advantages of cultivation on Elysium, Han Shuo was even more eager to improve the strength of his friends and family.
If Han Shuo could truly establish himself in the City of Shadows, accumulate wealth and power, and gain the qualifications to establish a family clan of his own, Han Shuo believed that his safety would be guaranteed by the House of Sainte's strength and status in the City. With that, Emily and the others would be able to come to Elysium ahead of schedule.
Carmelita saw that Han Shuo's eyes were glistening and knew that Han Shuo was tempted. With the thought of repaying Han Shuo, she struck while the iron was hot and said, "Don't worry, with your miraculous medicinal pellets, you will definitely achieve great things in the City of Shadows! As long as you accumulate enough wealth and make some contributions, I will beg my father to grant you the qualifications to establish a family clan. At that time, you can bring your friends over and use your wealth to recruit experts into your family clan. The four major family clans have worked their way up step by step. If they can do it, so can you! "
Han Shuo, who had been tempted for a long time, finally made up his mind after hearing Carmelita's bewitching words. He nodded and replied in a deep voice, "Alright, I will go all out in the City of Shadows!"
