The Goddess of Destiny was the most mysterious of the Twelve Overgods. It was said that the Goddess of Destiny represented the will of the Creator Deities. She usually wouldn't interfere in the conflicts on Elysium. She would only step in to mediate when the Overgods got into a huge mess.
The Goddess of Destiny was a special existence that even the other eleven Overgods would have to give her some face. The Destiny Dominion had always been a neutral party. Even those who cultivated in the edict of destiny rarely had the chance to meet her and listen to her teachings. Andre was very surprised that Aobashi and Erebus had the honor of meeting her.
With Andre's reminder, Aobashi and Erebus secretly recalled what had happened back then. Their faces were filled with shock and horror. Han Shuo, who was secretly observing the two, was shocked. He immediately realized that Andre was telling the truth. The one who appeared before Aobashi and Erebus was indeed the most mysterious Goddess of Destiny on Elysium.
The Goddess of Destiny claimed to be Andrina's mother. Wasn't Andrina's identity a little too noble? But if Andrina was the Goddess of Destiny's daughter, why would she appear in the Darkness Dominion? And why would she hate the godhunters so much?
Han Shuo racked his brains, but still couldn't figure out what the truth was.
Deep in his heart, Han Shuo believed Andre's conjecture. That was the only explanation that could explain how Andrina could destroy the godhunter leader's clone with just a magical gem. Since her mother was the Goddess of Destiny, the divine weapon she gave her must be an overgod weapon. Only an overgod weapon bestowed by an Overgod with the Quintessence could possess such terrifying power!
"Brian, if our conjecture is correct and Andrina is the Goddess of Destiny's daughter, she will be fine!" Andre comforted Han Shuo and smilingly said, "Before the Goddess of Destiny left, she asked Aobashi to pass on her gratitude. Brian, you are truly lucky to have won the Goddess of Destiny's favor!"
Aobashi and Erebus looked at Han Shuo enviously. The Twelve Overgods were unreachable existences to most people, especially the most mysterious Goddess of Destiny! It hadn't been long since Han Shuo arrived on Elysium, but he had already won the Goddess of Destiny's favor and befriended her daughter, Andrina. Wasn't his luck a little too good?
"As long as Andrina is fine!" Han Shuo smiled. He didn't expect Andrina to have such a noble identity.
"Only the few of us will know about what happened today. I hope that no one will tell anyone about this conversation!" Andre thought for a moment and said.
Han Shuo and the other two nodded, indicating that they understood what Andre meant.
"Alright, we'll talk about the other matters after my big brother comes back. Everyone, disperse!" Said Andre smilingly. Just as Han Shuo was about to leave, Andre suddenly called out, "Brian!"
Han Shuo stopped in his tracks. Aobashi and Erebus pretended that they didn't hear him and quietly disappeared from Andre's sight.
"What?" Han Shuo turned around and looked at Andre in astonishment. He asked puzzledly, "Lord Andre, is there anything else?"
Andre put on a warm smile and said, "Brian, my big brother is very impressed with your performance. If there are no mishaps, I reckon that you will be appointed as the Chief of the Fifth Corps very soon. Be prepared!"
Han Shuo put on a delighted face and replied sincerely, "Many thanks!"
"You're welcome. You have made great contributions to the City of Shadows. Not to mention that even Erebus couldn't overcome the Overgod's Might. You have proven your strength by being able to withstand it!" Andre said smilingly, "Go back and make some preparations. You can also try to recruit some gods. Since you are going to be the Chief of the Fifth Corps, you should have some subordinates of your own, shouldn't you?"
Han Shuo nodded in understanding and did not say anything else. He bowed to Andre and left the Sainte Residence in satisfaction.
Although the operation to hunt down the godhunters was not a success for Aobashi and Erebus, it was a perfect ending for Han Shuo. Not only did Han Shuo's avatar of demonic arts and destruction make breakthroughs, but he also obtained seventeen poisonous fangs and learned of the relationship between the Godswamp Pharmacy and the godhunters.
Other than Andrina being taken away by her mother, no matter how one looked at it, Han Shuo was the biggest winner.
After returning to the Celestial Pearl Pharmacy, Phoebe and Emily explained to Han Shuo the situation of the Celestial Pearl Pharmacy. Thanks to the two ladies' hard work, all the branches of the Celestial Pearl Pharmacy were open for business. Their business was as prosperous as in the City of Shadows. In the entire City of Shadows, the Celestial Pearl Pharmacy occupied seventy percent of the market share, far surpassing other pharmacists of various sizes.
By now, everything in the Celestial Pearl Pharmacy was on the right track. Many things had been carried out according to procedures. Even Phoebe and Emily were freed from their duties. The two spent more time cultivating.
Those who came from Profound Continent did not leave their rooms at all during this period of time. They eagerly utilized the enormous amount of resources provided by Han Shuo to improve their strength. For those who could cultivate to the pinnacle in the harsh environment of Profound Continent, with sufficient resources and an elemental energy environment that was hundreds of times richer than that of Profound Continent, their progress was truly remarkable.
In just a short period of time, everyone's strength had increased by a level. Statholme the old monster, Ayermike Cotton, and a few others had reached the early-stage lowgod realm. Candide and Emma, who weren't particularly strong, had leaped several realms and were on the verge of reaching the basegod realm.
Before leaving, not only did Han Shuo give them Rebirth Pills and Pills of Tranquility that he had personally refined, he also distributed a portion of black crystal coins to each of them, allowing them to purchase divine weapons and divine scrolls that they needed. With such vigorous support, these people who possessed extraordinary aptitude naturally advanced by leaps and bounds.
Even Phoebe and Emily, who were busy with the affairs of the Celestial Pearl Pharmacy, had reached the demigod realm and were on the verge of advancing to the basegod realm.
Han Shuo was overjoyed as he listened to Phoebe and Emily narrate the situation of those people. Although Han Shuo knew that those people would surely improve by leaps and bounds with sufficient resources, when Han Shuo learned that they had made breakthroughs in just a few short months, he was still shocked!
"Brian, judging from the current situation, it won't take more than a few years for all of them to advance to the lowgod realm!" Emily said to Han Shuo smilingly.
"That's great!" Han Shuo praised and said, "Wallace intends for me to take over the Fifth Corps. I was just worrying that I don't have anyone I can use. Hehe, these people all hold important positions on Profound Continent. With their help, my life will be much easier!"
People like Candide and Emily were high-ranking members of the Dark Mantle back when they were on Profound Continent. The duties of a divine guard in the City of Shadows were actually similar to the duties of the Dark Mantle in Lancelot Empire. Candide and the others only needed to familiarize themselves with the job and they might even perform better than those divine guards.
Ayermike Cotton, Statholme the old monster, and the others were all experienced characters. Once they advanced to the lowgod realm, they would be great assistants to Han Shuo in many aspects. They would become the pillars of his family clan in the future!
It was precisely because these people possessed extraordinary abilities that Han Shuo spared no effort in bringing them over from Profound Continent. He was not stingy with the black crystal coins in his possession. He was willing to pay any price in order to improve their strength!
After arriving on Elysium, as Han Shuo was very busy, he did not have much time to spend with the ladies. On top of that, he felt that his strength was insufficient and had been cultivating arduously to improve himself. The ladies also felt very inferior on Elysium. Therefore, they did not spend much time with Han Shuo in order to shorten the distance between them and the gods on Elysium.
Phoebe and Emily briefly explained the current situation of the Celestial Pearl Pharmacy to Han Shuo and immediately started cultivating. The two were currently on the verge of a breakthrough. Seeing that Han Shuo's strength was growing stronger and stronger, they were afraid that the gap between them would grow larger and larger. Therefore, they were working harder than ever.
"Aren't you going to stay and accompany me? It's been a long time since we … "Han Shuo said while pulling Phoebe and Emily's little hands.
"Stop fooling around. I'm not in the mood right now. We'll make out with you when we become lowgods!" Phoebe patted Han Shuo and said.
"We have an agreement that we will only make out with you when we become lowgods. Whoever becomes a lowgod first will be the one to accompany you first!" Emily giggled and said in a sweet voice, "We have been holding it in for a long time. But in order to shorten the gap between us, we have no choice. Sigh, there's nothing we can do. Even a child on Elysium has demigod or basegod strength. We don't want to be looked down upon by others! "
"Let's go, I have a feeling that I'm going to become a basegod soon. I don't want to waste any more time with you!" Phoebe broke free from Han Shuo's grasp and left with Emily, avoiding Han Shuo like he was the plague, leaving behind a string of silvery bell-like giggles.
Doesn't that mean I have to abstain from sex forever? Han Shuo put on a bitter smile, shook his head, and sighed.
It wasn't just Phoebe and Emily. Han Shuo also went to look for Fanny and Helen and discovered that they were all very determined. Fearing that she couldn't resist Han Shuo's teasing, Fanny didn't even open the door, leaving Han Shuo in an extremely awkward situation.
Han Shuo had no choice but to spend most of his time on cultivation.
The seventeen fangs he obtained from the valley became Han Shuo's target. For seven days in a row, Han Shuo visited various divine weapon shops in the City of Shadows and purchased many materials that were bizarre in the eyes of others. Then, he left the City of Shadows by himself and temporarily stayed in a secluded valley nearby.
Han Shuo didn't want anyone to discover his secret of refining demonic weapons. After arriving at the valley, he carefully deployed concealment formations around the area. Then, he took out the seventeen fangs one by one and pondered what kind of demonic weapon he should refine.
"These seventeen fangs are very tough and their tips are very sharp. They can be refined into sharp offensive weapons such as flying swords! The material itself is of excellent quality and it won't take too much time to refine them. All you need to do is polish them and fuse them with your blood essence. With that, you will be able to refine a very domineering demonic weapon! "Cauldron Spirit transmitted into Han Shuo's consciousness.
"Then I'll refine them into seventeen flying swords!" Han Shuo decided after thinking for a moment.
"Make some changes to the seventeen flying swords according to my requirements. When the time comes, I will attach a dozen or so demon generals to them. The seventeen flying swords can also form a sword formation. With the powerful corrosive properties of the material, this demonic weapon will be much more vicious than your previous ones!" Cauldron Spirit suggested.
"That would be for the best!" Han Shuo was overjoyed after hearing Cauldron Spirit's suggestion. To him, the more destructive the demonic weapon, the better. As for whether it was vicious or not, it was obviously not within his scope of consideration.
With Cauldron Spirit's assistance, Han Shuo used the materials he had collected during this period of time to deploy a special formation around Tanai. He placed the seventeen fangs in the positions of the sword formation and sat cross-legged in the middle of the fangs. He released the demonic yuan in his body and connected the fangs with the energy of the formation.
… …
Perhaps it was because this demonic weapon was too powerful, Han Shuo sat in that position for over half a year. The seventeen fangs were all soaked in a special pool of jet-black liquid with a tinge of dark red. The dark red color was due to Han Shuo dripping his blood essence into the liquid.
After half a year, Han Shuo finally managed to drip his blood essence into the seventeen fangs. Han Shuo had to spend quite a bit of effort in the process due to the domineering corrosive properties of the fangs.
When the fangs were filled with Han Shuo's blood essence, Han Shuo started adding all kinds of solvents into the pool. When the solvents fell into the jet-black pool, they would emit thick smoke that lingered on the seventeen fangs for a long time.
Another year passed in the blink of an eye. Han Shuo started supplying demonic yuan to the seventeen fangs to modify their internal structure. Along the way, he followed Cauldron Spirit's instructions and carved miniature demonic formations on each fang. When the magnificent symbols took shape on the fangs, the outer appearance of the fangs also changed into seventeen sharp and cold flying swords.
Not only did the flying swords possess strong corrosive properties, but they were also extremely cold. They could impede the movement of the enemy when they got close to them. Once the flying swords pierced through the enemy, the corrosive properties and cold toxins would take effect at the same time, making them even more difficult to deal with.
After the fangs transformed into flying swords, Han Shuo spent some time to connect his consciousness with the seventeen flying swords. He controlled the plane to fly around the surroundings and then, according to Cauldron Spirit's instructions, he controlled the seventeen flying swords to practice the Avici Godslaying Sword Formation.
The 'Avici Godslaying Sword Formation' was a very domineering sword formation. This was because the seventeen flying swords were engraved with special runes and a miniature diagram of the 'Avici Godslaying Sword Formation' was set up on them.
The Avici Godslaying Sword Formation was very complicated to operate. Even with Han Shuo's monstrous consciousness and Cauldron Spirit's constant guidance, it still took him five years to fully master it.
However, the power of the Avici Godslaying Sword Formation was also very astonishing. With one thought, the seventeen flying swords flew around Tanai in a special trajectory. Then, several mountains and rivers suddenly collapsed and shattered into rubble!
"With this Avici Godslaying Sword Formation, you will be able to slaughter early-stage highgod experts even without my help!" Cauldron Spirit transmitted to Han Shuo on the day the sword formation was completed.
Han Shuo was overjoyed. During the process of practicing the Avici Godslaying Sword Formation, he could sense that the demonic yuan in his body was getting purer and purer. Seven years passed in the blink of an eye. By the time he walked out of the valley, he could sense that his state of mind in the Omen Realm had become more and more stable. His confidence had never been greater!
… …
Seven years later, Han Shuo returned to the City of Shadows.
Seven years might be a long time for mortals. But for the gods on Elysium who possessed almost infinite lifespans, it was but a snap of the fingers.
Therefore, when Han Shuo returned to the City of Shadows, he did not notice any special changes in the city. No one felt that Han Shuo had been away for a long time. Everyone was still as respectful as ever when they saw Han Shuo.
Those fellows from Profound Continent had all reached the lowgod realm after seven years. Yes, all of them!
Ayermike Cotton, Statholme the old monster, and a few others had even reached late-stage lowgod realm! Their outstanding talents combined with the enormous resources of Celestial Pearl Pharmacy had produced astonishing results. For a moment, Han Shuo found it hard to believe that these fellows had reached a whole new realm.
What delighted Han Shuo the most was not Ayermike Cotton, Statholme, and a few others who had reached late-stage lowgod realm. It was the progress of Gilbert, Sanguinar, and Bollands that surprised Han Shuo even more!
Among them, Sanguinar and Bollands cultivated demonic arts while Sanguinar's cultivation of Bloodgod Mantra was nearing completion. Although Han Shuo could not determine the exact level of Bloodgod Mantra, Sanguinar had steadily surpassed Ayermike Cotton, Statholme the old monster, and the others. He had become the most powerful individual in the Celestial Pearl Pharmacy.
Han Shuo knew that Sanguinar possessed the Body of Sanguinar and that the Bloodgod Mantra was tailor-made for him. Sanguinar, who cultivated in Bloodgod Mantra, had very little reliance on the elements of heaven and earth. He was already an extraordinary cultivator on Profound Continent. It was only natural that he would undergo such a transformation after receiving proper guidance from Han Shuo on Elysium.
Bollands, who cultivated in the God Slaying Demonic Path, was able to release and withdraw his killing intent at will. Among these fellows, Bollands had been assigned to Erebus by Han Shuo in advance and had become a bloodthirsty weapon. During the past seven years, he had killed countless people and his killing intent had grown denser and denser. Once released, his killing intent would soar into the sky. Those with a weak will would be terrified before the battle even started!
As for Gilbert, who had been retrained by Han Shuo, his body and soul were extremely tough and possessed the characteristics of demonic arts. Dark dragon Gilbert also cultivated in the energy of darkness and was now an early-stage lowgod of darkness.
However, after becoming a lowgod of darkness, Gilbert, who had been refined by Han Shuo as a demonic weapon, possessed a divine soul made of darkness divine energy that was distinctly different from that of ordinary gods. Not only was his body incomparably tough, his divine energy of darkness was also astonishingly domineering. Gilbert, who was only an early-stage lowgod, was able to defeat late-stage lowgods like Statholme the old monster and Ayermike Cotton in the gymnasium.
Inside the Celestial Pearl Pharmacy, Sanguinar, Bollands, and Gilbert had gradually overtaken those who cultivated in the energy of this universe. They had formed a very peculiar combination in the Celestial Pearl Pharmacy that was inconceivable to everyone!
Among Sanguinar, Bollands, and Gilbert, the first two cultivated in a special kind of demonic art. Gilbert's body had been specially refined by Han Shuo. Moreover, when Gilbert was in soul form, he was forced by Han Shuo to cultivate a demonic art that strengthened the soul. That was the reason why the three had become so powerful in such a short period of time!
What a galaxy of talents! Han Shuo exclaimed after he returned to the Celestial Pearl Pharmacy.
