Han Shuo and his son didn't stay in the ruined Pandemonium for too long. Too many things had happened here. They didn't know if the Hegemons of the Godhunter Alliance were still in the Fringe. They also didn't know how the members of the Han family, Wasis, and Salas were doing.
First, he had to figure out the current situation in the Fringe and find Bollands, Sanguinar, and Phoebe to ensure their safety. Next, he had to head to the Omphalos to see what was going on there. He also had to find out what the missing Tyre was up to.
Lastly, he had to rebuild the Pandemonium and turn it into a giant Ninth Realm Mystical Yin Harvester for him to become a Demon Lord.
There were too many things for Han Shuo to do. He had to take things one step at a time. He didn't have time to waste.
Now that Little Skull Han Hao had suddenly gained the Quintessence, he might not be able to fully unleash the power of the Quintessence. However, if he were to face pseudo-overgods like Tyre and Logue, Han Shuo believed that Little Skull would be able to handle them with ease.
Therefore, he arranged for Little Skull Han Hao to head to the mountain where most of Dhaka, Dagmar, and Asser's subordinates were killed. He had to gather his godhunters to figure out the current situation in the Fringe as soon as possible, track down the whereabouts of Tyre and Logue, and pay attention to the Hegemons who had left.
Little Skull Han Hao was brimming with confidence. With the Quintessence, he would be able to shine in the Fringe and on Elysium. With Han Shuo's arrangements, he quickly left the Fringe and headed towards his destination through the torn earth.
Han Shuo expanded his consciousness and headed towards another region by relying on the faint connection he had with the Five Elite Zombies.
Han Shuo, whose mental state had reached the level of a Demon Master, his consciousness was as vast and boundless as the ocean. His sea of consciousness could reflect all kinds of wonders like a bright mirror according to his will. That trace of weak connection with the five elite zombies was infinitely magnified. He very quickly determined the location of the five elite zombies.
Suddenly, Han Shuo realized that as his state of mind improved, his consciousness had become different from before. When he unfolded his consciousness, he could vaguely sense the soul undulations of every living being in the Fringe. The stronger a person was, the stronger their life magnetic field would be, and the easier it would be for him to sense them.
Gradually, many powerful yet scattered auras entered Han Shuo's mind. Han Shuo was very familiar with a few. Some were Tyre, some were Logue, some were Salas, and some were Wasis.
Han Shuo's mind was suddenly enlightened. He grinned. He felt as though he was in control of heaven and earth. Before his new state of mind had completely stabilized, he had already experienced the wonders of it. He immediately realized that the realm of the Demon Master was indeed very powerful. Just the changes in his divine sense had already allowed him to see everything in his surroundings clearly, as if he was the lord of all things.
After thinking for a moment, Han Shuo decided to start with Salas and Wasis, who were closest to him.
With one thought, Han Shuo vanished into thin air. Relying on his senses of Salas and Han Shuo's auras, Han Shuo streaked across the sky at a speed that was difficult for the naked eye to follow. Soon enough, he stopped beside a lake.
"Salas, Wasis, come out," Han Shuo smiled and said to a broken stone wall behind the lake.
Salas and Wasis, who were meditating in the crack of the stone wall, were worried about whether Han Shuo could escape from Gandalf and the others. As soon as they heard Han Shuo's voice, they were overjoyed and hastily crawled out from the crack of the stone wall.
"Brian, are you alright?" Salas grinned, revealing his true feelings.
Wasis wasn't a good talker. His cold eyes scanned Han Shuo's body as though he was trying to see if Han Shuo was injured or if he was forcing a smile.
Han Shuo felt a little strange when he saw Salas and Wasis again. When he first came to the Fringe, Salas and Wasis were the most hostile to him. There were even some unpleasant incidents between him and Salas and Wasis. They even fought to the death and one of them nearly died.
But now, the ones who were the closest to Han Shuo were Salas and Wasis. The reason for that was that although Salas and Wasis were bad-tempered and arrogant, they were sincere in their dealings with others. They weren't like Ossora, Logue, and Tyre who pretended to be on good terms with you but would stab you in the back.
"Haha, I'm fine." Han Shuo looked at the two smilingly and said, "But the crisis in the Fringe has yet to be resolved. Those from the Godhunter Alliance have yet to leave the Fringe. Alright, I'll go look for my Han family and make arrangements for them. After that, we will head to the Omphalos together. I can sense that Tyre and Logue are in the vicinity of the Omphalos and their remaining forces. It seems that Tyre and Logue will make a move soon. "
"We'll do as you say!" Salas laughed heartily and said, "After the previous battle, I, Salas, believe that my judgment is right. You are different from Tyre and Logue. Only someone like you can convince me!"
Unlike Salas, Wasis didn't say what was on his mind, but after hearing his words, Wasis nodded solemnly, seemingly agreeing with Salas's statement.
Although the two of them didn't vow to follow Han Shuo, their attitude was enough to show that they would definitely follow Han Shuo's lead in the Fringe. From now on, Han Shuo would completely replace Logue and Tyre, becoming the one and only Sovereign in the Fringe!

The Omphalos.
The Omphalos was no longer as bustling as it used to be. Not only had the Sovereigns evacuated their businesses in the Omphalos, but more than half of the shops in Tanai had also closed down. Those who remained in the Omphalos were those who had nowhere to hide and had nowhere else to run.
Everyone knew that not only did the Godhunter Alliance outnumber the Fringedwellers, but they also had plenty of top-notch experts in the Fringe. Even those peddlers who used to fear the Sovereigns didn't think that the Sovereigns would be able to stop the dragons from the other Dominions.
In the past, the Omphalos could guarantee everyone's safety. But now, the Omphalos didn't have the slightest bit of protection. From the information transmitted by Gale of the Fringe, it was clear that the Godhunter Alliance had gained the upper hand. Those who remained in the Omphalos grew even more anxious. If they weren't wanted fugitives by the Twelve Alliances and had nowhere else to go, they would've left the Omphalos at all costs.
Most of the shops in Tanai had closed down. The only shop that still hung its signboard was the Celestial Pearl Pharmacy.
During this period of time, the remaining shop owners in the Omphalos had made the Celestial Pearl Pharmacy their main source of information. Even those who specialized in making poisons would stop by the Celestial Pearl Pharmacy from time to time to obtain information from the only shop in the Omphalos.
At this moment, the one in charge of the Celestial Pearl Pharmacy was Akley. He was the first person that Han Shuo met when he arrived on Elysium. He had already reached early-stage highgod realm in the cultivation of the edict of destruction. Akley, who had a stubborn obsession in his heart, was advancing at an incredibly fast pace in the cultivation of the edict of destruction. With the divine essences that he and Han Shuo had obtained, as well as the power of the Han family, Akley was able to make breakthroughs in the edict of destruction.
Originally, Han Shuo didn't want Akley to stay in the dangerous Omphalos. However, Akley insisted on staying in Tanai's Celestial Pearl Pharmacy, saying that the more dangerous a place was, the easier it would be for his mind to reach the state of destruction.
"Tell those guys that I can guarantee their safety if all the poisoners join the Han family," Akley said to an elderly man sitting in front of him. Akley was lazily lying on a spacious and comfortable leather chair with his legs crossed. He was holding a bunch of sparkling and translucent grapes in his hand. He raised his head and swallowed the grapes as he spoke to an old man in front of him.
"Lord Akley, the people out there are on tenterhooks. Recently, strangers have been appearing in the vicinity of the Omphalos. It seems that the Godhunter Alliance is coming. Not only are they afraid, but so are we. Lord Akley, shouldn't we lay low for the time being? "asked the elderly man in a bitter smile as he wiped the beads of sweat off his forehead.
He was just a pharmacist recruited by Han Shuo back in Ethereal City. Combat was not his forte. Given the current situation, anyone could tell that the Omphalos was no longer safe. Even Han Shuo had told them that they could retreat if the situation worsened. Akley was the only one who didn't seem to be aware of the situation in the Omphalos. He didn't seem to care about the threat posed by the Godhunter Alliance at all.
"What's there to be afraid of?" Akley spat out the last grape pit and said nonchalantly, "Tell the poisoners outside that Brian of the Han family said that as long as they work for the Celestial Pearl Pharmacy, the Han family will guarantee their safety!"
"What, what guarantee do we have?" The elderly man shook his head. He felt that Akley must have gone mad.
Akley coldly groaned and said, "The Godhunter Alliance has suffered heavy losses in the Pandemonium. All the Hegemons of the Godhunter Alliance have fled from Tanai. I believe that they won't be leaving for long. The era of Logue and Tyre is over. From now on, the entire Fringe will belong to the Han family. This is something that no one can change! "
"You, you must be talking nonsense!" The elderly man was stunned. He didn't dare to believe Akley's words. For the past few days, Akley had been either eating or getting drunk. He had been spouting nonsense like a lunatic.
"Idiot, don't you know that the important members of the Han family have spatial mirrors?" Akley disdainfully rolled his eyes at him. He got up from his chair and walked out on his own, muttering to himself, "I'd better take advantage of this opportunity to force those fellows into submission. Once there's no more danger, those fellows will be hard to talk to again …"
