Surrounded by the Cauldron of Myriad Demon, Kauze's divine soul was like a candle flickering in the wind, flickering erratically.
Given the realm of Han Shuo's consciousness and the Cauldron of Myriad Demon's power to manipulate Kauze's divine soul, Han Shuo was able to extract all of Kauze's experiences from the moment he was born. He could even extract memories that Kauze couldn't remember from the depths of Kauze's soul.
Only memories that existed couldn't escape Han Shuo's Great Soul Searching Art.
Han Shuo's consciousness spread across Kauze's mind like a giant net. Threads of his consciousness wrapped around Kauze's divine soul and dug out everything from the depths of his memories.
Kauze cultivated in the energy of life. At his realm, he had already escaped the fate of life and death. In his long life, he had experienced many things that left a deep impression on him. It would take Han Shuo at least a day or two to comb through all of Kauze's memories.
After all, Kauze had lived for nearly ten thousand years and had experienced many things every single day. His memory was as vast as the ocean and it wouldn't be that easy to sort through.
Han Shuo, on the other hand, wasn't interested in the trifling matters of Kauze's life. He wasn't a pervert who liked to pry into other people's privacy. Therefore, Han Shuo focused on the most important part of Kauze's memories.
Han Shuo didn't even need to think to know that those were the most important memories in the depths of Kauze's soul. Memories that he often thought about were much clearer than those of his daily life. Soon enough, Han Shuo found what he was looking for.
Han Shuo's consciousness enveloped this deep memory and used the Great Soul Searching Art to retrieve it in his sea of consciousness.
This memory happened a few hundred years ago, not too far from the present. At that time, Kauze had yet to become an overgod or become a godhunter. He was the patriarch of a major family clan in the Life Dominion.
As the patriarch of a major family clan in the Life Dominion, not only was he not a godhunter, but he was also a hunter who hated godhunters to the core. While fighting against the godhunters in the Life Dominion, Kauze was betrayed by a cousin of his and was imprisoned by the godhunters in a gorge called Tanai.
Within fifteen minutes, all of Kauze's clansmen were slaughtered by the godhunters. Kauze's wife and son were not spared. Kauze, on the other hand, was stopped by the Hegemon of the Life Dominion. He could only watch helplessly as his wife was raped and his son was dismembered.
It was an unforgettable memory!
Back then, the Hegemon was merely a late-stage highgod while Kauze was merely an early-stage highgod. He was no match for the Hegemon and could only endure the humiliation for the rest of his life.
Prior to this, Kauze had hunted down godhunters in every city in the Life Dominion and was their greatest enemy.
The former Hegemon of the Life Dominion captured Kauze and learned a few things about godhunters from the Hegemon of the Life Dominion.
That Hegemon once told Kauze that godhunters were an indispensable part of Elysium. The existence of every god on Elysium possessed too much elemental edictal energy. If the number of gods on Elysium exceeded a certain limit, the energy of heaven and earth would change. Such a change would affect the Quintessence Overgods and seemed to be very detrimental to the Quintessence.
Therefore, the Hegemon told Kauze that godhunters would never disappear from Elysium because their existence would reduce the number of gods on Elysium every day. It would effectively prevent such a situation from happening. For the Quintessence Overgods, the godhunters were actually helping them eliminate some of the hidden dangers.
He rejected all of Kauze's previous actions, saying that Kauze's previous actions were idiotic and that the Life Dominion's Overgod just wanted him to fight the godhunters endlessly. It didn't matter if the godhunters died or their loyal subordinates were killed, it wasn't a bad thing for the Quintessence Overgods.
In the end, Kauze didn't die.
The divine guards of every major city in the Life Dominion arrived just in time. Kauze, who had lost a portion of his divine energy, was lucky enough to survive. Having lost most of his divine energy, Kauze's strength was greatly reduced. When he returned to his family, he found that his cousin who had betrayed him had replaced him as the new patriarch.
Having lost a portion of his divine energy, Kauze was no longer a match for his cousin. He was defeated and chased out of his family.
After his wife and children were killed and his cousin betrayed him, Kauze's personality changed drastically. He abandoned his faith in the Overgod of Life.
For the sake of revenge, Kauze suddenly became the craziest godhunter. He started by devouring the weakest gods and recovered his divine energy bit by bit. After more than a hundred years, Kauze killed his cousin and slaughtered all the members of his family who had betrayed him.
In the end, even the former Hegemon of the Life Dominion couldn't escape from Kauze's hands. Kauze used the most insidious method to burn his soul with poisonous flames. It took him more than two hundred years to exhaust the last bit of energy in his soul. He only died after suffering for two hundred years.
Afterward, Kauze, who had lost his faith, became the new Hegemon of the Life Dominion. His strength soared and he ascended to the realm of overgod.
Han Shuo took a deep breath and carefully stored Kauze's divine soul. He imprisoned it in a special corner of the Cauldron of Myriad Demon and used the power of the cauldron to remove the impurities in Kauze's divine soul, leaving only the purest comprehension of the Edict of Life for Han Mu to absorb.
"Sigh, what a pitiful man," sighed Han Shuo. Han Shuo let out a soft sigh. After learning about Kauze's experiences from his memories, Han Shuo no longer felt any hatred for Kauze. He felt that Kauze's life was truly pitiful. He also understood Kauze's desperation to become a godhunter.
In that situation, it was almost impossible for Kauze, who had lost most of his divine power, to use his original path to avenge his wife and child. Everything that mattered to him in his life was taken away. Even the faith he had built up over many years had crumbled in an instant. It was only natural that his personality would undergo a drastic change.
"Father, he said that there is a need for godhunters to exist? Really? " When Little Skull saw that Han Shuo had sent his consciousness into Kauze's mind, he knew that Han Shuo could easily obtain all of Kauze's memories.
Han Shuo nodded and sneered, "Too many gods will occupy too much of the energy of the Twelve Elements. When a certain element is occupied too much by a god, the god of that element will undergo a mutation. Such a mutation is very bad for the overgods who possess the Quintessence. Therefore, they need to maintain a delicate balance. "
At this point, Han Shuo suddenly recalled the war of the gods mentioned by the Goddess of Destiny and the God Of Light. He wondered if there was a reason for the war of the gods.
According to the God Of Light and the Goddess of Destiny, a war of the gods would definitely occur before the opening of Aethernia. Many gods would die during the war. Could their deaths be a necessary procedure for the opening of Aethernia?
On Elysium, every once in a while, a great war would break out that would engulf all of the dominions. Many geniuses would perish in those wars before they could truly become top experts.
During the most crucial moments, the Goddess of Destiny would appear and calm the wars. Previously, Han Shuo didn't understand why such a thing would happen and why the Goddess of Destiny would wait for many years before resolving the war. But now that he had learned these secrets from Kauze's memories, Han Shuo had his own guesses and vaguely understood some things.
"Balance?" Little Skull stared blankly for a moment before he suddenly asked, "Father, are you saying that the existence of the godhunters is tacitly approved by the Twelve Overgods?"
"You have seen the power of Nestedt and Judas. Any one of them could wipe out all the godhunters in the Twelve Dominions. Also, Andrina said that the Goddess of Destiny's lover died at the hands of the godhunters and that Andrina nearly died from exhaustion of the energy of her soul. However, even with such deep-rooted hatred, the Goddess of Destiny didn't wipe out all the godhunters. I believe that Kauze's words are believable. Other than the existence of the godhunters, I really don't know any other reason why they wouldn't wipe out the godhunters! "said Han Shuo in a deep voice.
"Does that mean that the Twelve Quintessence Overgods won't meddle in my business even if I unite the godhunters?" asked Han Hao after a moment of silence. Suddenly, his eyes lit up. "That's right.
"As long as what you do is in line with their interests, they won't interfere." Han Shuo thought for a moment before he said, "However, the power of faith from the living gods in the Twelve Dominions is also very useful to the Overgods. They need the faith of those gods, but at the same time, they don't want their numbers to be too large. It's like a scale, seeking a delicate balance. You shouldn't act too recklessly, or the Twelve Overgods might attack together. We are not their match for the time being, so we have to be careful."
"Understood, Father. I'll be careful." Han Hao nodded in understanding.
It was at this moment that two whistles sounded from the distance. After a short while, Salas and Wasis appeared before Han Shuo. Salas, who had no idea what was happening, hastily reported, "Brian, many divine guards from the Twelve Dominions have gathered and are heading towards the Fringe. It seems that they are planning to attack the godhunters and us."
Han Shuo nodded and said, "If they want to maintain a delicate balance, the Godhunter Alliance can't be too powerful. With the Twelve Dominions, the number of godhunters in the Alliance might be a little too much for them to handle. They are probably planning to purge the Alliance, right? "
"Father, what should we do?" asked Han Hao.
Han Shuo bunched his brows as he looked at the godhunters who had lost their seven Hegemons and were looking at him with fear. He smiled and said, "You are the new leader of the godhunters. You can decide what to do. I think the most important thing is to subdue them. "
"I understand," Little Skeleton nodded and began to organize the godhunters around him.
