Profound Continent.
Nothing much had changed. The ocean surrounding the Cemetery of Death was azure. The sea breeze was gentle and the air was fresh. However, the elemental energies of heaven and earth were much thinner. Han Shuo, who had just returned from Elysium, found it rather difficult to adapt.
"The elemental density here is a little too low," remarked Andrina with a frown as soon as she walked out of the Cemetery of Death.
"This place is different from Elysium. If the elemental density here was too high, I'm afraid that even high-level gods would have come." Han Shuo put on a faint smile. He unfolded his consciousness and took in the surroundings. He suddenly let out a long laugh and said, "Come, follow me back to the city!"
The two soared into the sky and flew towards Brettel City of Lancelot Empire.
Half a day later, Han Shuo and Andrina appeared on the streets of Brettel City. As soon as Han Shuo landed in the city, the scenery of Brettel City was immediately imprinted in his mind.
Brettel City was obviously much more prosperous than before. The originally lifeless city was now bustling with traffic. All kinds of shops could be found on every street block. The dazzling array of goods could dazzle one's eyes.
Standing on the streets of Brettel City, a sense of familiarity rose spontaneously. After experiencing the liveliness of the city for a while, Han Shuo and Andrina headed straight for the City Lord's mansion.
Brettel City had changed a lot after being away for more than a decade. The City Lord's mansion stood at the center of the city. Squadrons of knights clad in black armor stood proudly on all four sides of the mansion, guarding it.
Han Shuo's arrival caused the entire mansion to seethe with excitement. Those whom he was familiar with gathered at the mansion from various districts upon hearing the news. They expressed their excitement in various ways.
Jack, Dorcas, and the others had obviously aged. Having not spent much effort cultivating their various energies, they had all become middle-aged men. Jack's children had even joined the army and become Brettel City's knight captains.
Helen, on the other hand, was still as beautiful as ever. She had taken a Rebirth Pill to preserve her youth. She was now a fire sacred magus with a dazzling halo around her.
Very soon, familiar characters began to arrive one after another. Through Dick's message, Emily, Phoebe, Fanny, Jasper, and others who were familiar with Han Shuo arrived via transportation matrices from various major cities.
After not seeing each other for more than ten years, Emily, Fanny, and the other girls all shed silent tears when they saw Han Shuo, blaming Han Shuo for being so heartless.
With a few comforting words, these women of high status in the Lancelot Empire finally calmed their chaotic emotions and began to discuss the situation with Han Shuo.
Unsurprisingly, Lancelot Empire had now become the most powerful nation on Profound Continent. Oden Empire, Brut Merchant Alliance, and Kasi Empire had all been annexed. Lawrence had achieved his wish of becoming the overlord of Profound Continent on the surface.
The Church of Light and the Shrine of Ice had retreated to impoverished lands and stopped recruiting believers. They had also ceased their religious activities on Profound Continent, gradually withdrawing from the stage of Profound Continent over the past ten years.
In Lancelot Empire, there were only believers of the Druidic Order and the Calamity Church. A large portion of them worshipped the new god, Han Shuo. No matter how one looked at it, the current situation on Profound Continent was very ideal.
Gilbert, Statholme the old monster, the Emperor of the Flames, Elizabeth, his apprentice Sanguinar, Bollands, Trunks, and others who were familiar with Han Shuo all hurried over after receiving the news.
In the largest banquet hall of the City Lord's mansion, these people who were familiar with Han Shuo were all gathered together.
"Everyone, I have been away for more than ten years. I am truly happy to be able to gather here today. Let us drink to our heart's content today! "Han Shuo raised his cup and laughed heartily.
The crowd raised their cups and drank to their heart's content.
After getting drunk for three days, the sober crowd gathered together. This time, Han Shuo started to talk about serious matters, "The elemental energies on Profound Continent are too weak, resources are not abundant, and the cultivation of energy is still at a low level …" Han Shuo slowly described the situation on Profound Continent and Elysium.
The crowd listened attentively to Han Shuo's words. For many of them, this was the first time they had learned about this vast universe. When they heard that Elysium was rich in elemental energies and gods were everywhere, many of them were greatly shocked.
"I will be leaving soon after I return. After I leave this time, there won't be many opportunities for me to return. All in all, Elysium is a much more suitable place for cultivation. I have established some businesses there and I can guarantee your safety. If any of you wish to pursue greater strength, you can tell me and I will bring you to Elysium, "Han Shuo said in a deep voice.
A decade or so was a long time for ordinary people, especially those who did not spend time and energy on cultivation. They spent most of their time and energy on having children. Some of them already had family and love on Profound Continent that they could not bear to part with. Han Shuo knew that not everyone would be willing to make a long and arduous journey to a new and unfamiliar environment.
"Master, I will go wherever you go!" Gilbert immediately declared without the slightest hesitation.
Soon after, Statholme the old monster, the Emperor of the Flames, Elizabeth, Bollands, Sanguinar, and the others who wholeheartedly pursued greater strength also excitedly expressed their support and strongly requested to leave with Han Shuo.
These people did not have too many attachments on Profound Continent and were wholeheartedly working hard to become stronger. Now that they heard that they would be offered even better conditions, they did not even think twice and immediately agreed.
Fanny, Emily, Phoebe, Helen, Jasper, and the other women who were close to Han Shuo more or less had family and loved ones on Profound Continent. However, it was even more difficult for them to bear the thought of being separated from Han Shuo. After hesitating for a moment, they too expressed their willingness to follow Han Shuo. However, before leaving, they wanted to bid farewell to their loved ones.
As for people like Dorcas and Jack, as they pursued different things, in addition to the fact that they already had a family in Brettel City, after pondering for a period of time, they ultimately did not decide to leave. Having gotten his revenge, Trunks now possessed an enormous amount of resources, including the Valley of Sunshine and the Dark Forest. Now that he had a daughter with that female bandit Janet, he too could not bear to leave and therefore decided to stay.
Even those who did not leave would need some time to settle some affairs. Therefore, after tallying up the number of people, Han Shuo gave them a time limit.
Three months. After three months, they would gather at Brettel City. Those who did not show up at that time would be considered to have decided to stay.
Knowing that Han Shuo would not have many opportunities to meet them after leaving, those who had decided to stay did not leave Brettel City. During this period of time, they reunited with Han Shuo and drank to their heart's content.
Han Shuo unceremoniously took out some of the cultivation items that he had prepared for Emily and the others and handed them to his friends who planned to stay on Profound Continent.
Some of those items were Origin Crystals, while others could be used in secret arts. They were priceless items on Profound Continent. Han Shuo generously distributed them.
Emily and the others did not mind as Han Shuo had informed them that these items could be purchased on Elysium with crystal coins. Therefore, they had no qualms about it.
Parting was always somewhat sorrowful. Everyone made use of getting drunk to make up for it. For more than two months in a row, the City Lord's mansion in Brettel City was filled with the strong smell of alcohol. The fragrance of fine wine could be smelled from miles away. Drunken dignitaries constantly walked in and out of the City Lord's mansion, drawing the attention of the residents in the city.
Han Shuo even made a trip to Ossen City to bid farewell to King Lawrence of Lancelot Empire. Lawrence was very helpless about Han Shuo's departure. However, now that Profound Continent was completely under his control, it didn't seem like a big deal to lose Han Shuo. Lawrence and Han Shuo could not be persuaded to stay.
In Ossen City, Candide, Emma, and Graeae the banshees, Pegasus, and Ayermike Cotton who were once subdued by Han Shuo also expressed their desire to leave with Han Shuo when they heard that he was going to leave. They were already standing at the pinnacle of Profound Continent. As they had been tirelessly pursuing power, they were obviously unwilling to give up this opportunity. After hastily making preparations, they all hurried to Brettel City.
Three months later.
Gilbert, Statholme the old monster, the Emperor of the Flames, Elizabeth, Bollands, Sanguinar, Emily, Fanny, Candide, Emma, Graeae, Pegasus, Ayermike Cotton, and the others gathered in Brettel City. After bidding farewell to Jack, Trunks, and the others, they all followed Han Shuo to the Cemetery of Death in the Boundless Sea.
Every one of these people who were willing to leave with Han Shuo was someone who pursued power. All of them had the ability to fly, which made the journey very convenient. After spending seven days, under Han Shuo's lead, the party finally arrived at the island where the Cemetery of Death was located.
Before they landed on the island, Andrina suddenly bunched her brows and said to Han Shuo in a soft voice, "Huh? There's someone here!"
Han Shuo was startled. He hastily expanded his consciousness and immediately sensed that there were five people in the Cemetery of Death. All five of them were midgods. This puzzled Han Shuo.
"All of you, be careful. Stick close to each other!" Han Shuo turned around and instructed those people in a soft voice. None of those who were heading to Elysium this time had reached the lowgod realm. If a battle were to break out, they wouldn't be able to retaliate at all.
"What's going on?" Statholme the old monster asked.
"There might be enemies. These people aren't people that you can handle for the time being. But don't worry, with me and Andrina around, if they have any malicious intent, they will be dead! " Han Shuo explained. He instructed Andrina to carefully protect his friends from Profound Continent as they slowly landed on the island.
"Haha … After waiting for more than three months, you have finally arrived!" a coarse voice sounded from the center of the Cemetery of Death.
Shortly after, a group of five sinisterly flew out from the Cemetery of Death. One could tell at a glance that these people weren't good people. Their eyes were filled with undisguised frenzied killing intent as they stared at Han Shuo.
Han Shuo's face turned cold and he asked, "Who are you people?"
"Youngster, I don't know who you are. In any case, we were originally destined for death. We were forcefully sent to this low-level material plane. Hehe, that person told us that there is only one lowgod in this low-level material plane and that we would be dead if we were to return to Elysium. Here, no one can do anything to us and we are rather free and unfettered. Of course, the prerequisite is that we get rid of you first! " The leader of the group looked at Han Shuo with a sinister smile. When he saw Emily, Fanny, and the other women behind Han Shuo, he laughed excitedly and said, "Not bad! Although the people of this low-level material plane are weak, these women are rather pretty. It has been a long time since we touched a woman. Very good, very good!"
"You were sent here by Dolores, weren't you?" Han Shuo's face turned gloomy. He coldly sized up the group and immediately guessed what had happened.
"Hehe, that's none of your business. In any case, from today onwards, we are the ones who call the shots on this continent. Youngster, just accept your bad luck! "the leader said with a maniacal laugh.
The few people behind him sized up Emily and the other women with sinister gazes. They wanted nothing more than to rush over and attack them.
"You keep an eye on them. I'll get rid of this trash!" Before Han Shuo could say anything, Andrina had already rushed out. Andrina had always detested this kind of people.
"Haha, it's a little girl. I like her, I like her. Don't you dare snatch her from me!" A shabbily dressed little old man who cultivated in the energy of darkness rubbed his hands excitedly when he saw Andrina flying over.
Andrina didn't cultivate in any of the twelve fundamental energies and she was adept at concealing her aura. Therefore, the five of them had no idea that Andrina was a god of slaughter.
"Leave one alive!" Han Shuo hastily reminded when he saw Andrina rushing out with a cold face.
"Got it. I'll leave one alive for you!" Andrina replied to Han Shuo impatiently. Then, like a sheep entering a tiger's den, she charged at the five people. A gorgeous curtain of light flew out from her delicate body and formed five small vortexes that instantly sucked all five people in.
As expected, the five people were reduced to a bloody mess and turned into a rain of blood that scattered on the ground. The crude leader looked as if he had been skinned alive. Covered in blood, he looked at Andrina with fear in his eyes and screamed, "Spare me, spare me!"
"Is it Dolores?" Han Shuo asked indifferently after he had stored the other four people's divine souls into the Cauldron of Myriad Demon.
"I don't know any Dolores. I was escorted here by an old man named Jeff!" the man screamed and begged bitterly, "Please spare me, we have no enmity between us!"
"Alright, he has no value anymore!" Han Shuo waved his hand mercilessly. He already knew who was behind this.
"Bang!" The man's body exploded. Blood and flesh splattered all over the ground.
Ayermike Cotton, Statholme, and the others behind Han Shuo were all dumbfounded. The five people did not conceal their terrifying auras. Before them, Ayermike Cotton and the others found it difficult to even breathe. Yet, these five experts were so easily killed by Andrina. Moreover, Andrina looked like a little girl. This strong contrast shocked them greatly.
"Oh no, the interplanar transportation matrix has been destroyed!" Andrina suddenly cried out in alarm.
"What?" Han Shuo was shocked.
