The Overgod of Death, Nestedt, did not have a deep conversation with Han Shuo. He vanished as soon as he finished speaking.
After Nestedt disappeared, Han Shuo suddenly had a strange feeling. Back when he was with the Overgod of Death, he was still trembling in fear that Nestedt would come to him for Hill and Sha-t 'o.
Back then, although Han Shuo had vaguely guessed some things, he wasn't certain. He had been worried that Nestedt would show up in the Death Dominion.
But now, after more than a decade, Han Shuo was back in the Death Dominion, invited by Nestedt. Not only did he not have to worry that Nestedt would come after him, he could even talk to Nestedt as an equal. The difference in treatment was like the difference between heaven and earth.
Now that Han Shuo thought about it, the reason he could talk to Nestedt as an equal and the reason Nestedt came to meet him was because Han Shuo's strength had reached a whole new realm, a realm that Nestedt could acknowledge.
Back then, Nestedt did not touch Han Shuo because Han Shuo still had some value. But at that time, Nestedt did not show up to meet Han Shuo. It was obvious that Nestedt didn't think much of Han Shuo. Han Shuo could only change his position and destiny when he possessed sufficient strength. Only then would he not have to worry so much.
Han Shuo put on a carefree smile and shook his head. He stopped thinking about the problem and headed to the Darkness Dominion unhurriedly.
Han Shuo had many old acquaintances in the Darkness Dominion. He wondered how Erebus, Andre, Aobashi, and Carmelita were doing. Other than that, there was also Donna from Hushveil City. Han Shuo would always feel a sense of guilt whenever he thought of her.
Coincidentally, the meeting place with the Death, Destruction, and Darkness Overgods was the Darkness Dominion. Han Shuo planned to visit Erebus and the others before heading to Hushveil City to have a good talk with Donna.
After making up his mind, Han Shuo increased his speed slightly. While rushing toward the Darkness Dominion, he continued to fuse the power of his two avatars.

The City of Shadows, the Sainte Residence.
Andre, Carmelita, Erebus, Aobashi, and the others gathered together to discuss the war of the gods in low voices.
After Wallace was killed in the City of Gorging Clouds, Andre naturally became the new City Lord of the City of Shadows. Although Andre's strength wasn't as great as Wallace's, he was very talented in management. All these years, the City of Shadows had been developing very well under Andre's leadership. Andre was an amiable and amiable man and had a very good relationship with the major family clans. He was not like Wallace, who was jealous of talents and would not forcibly expel people just because their family clans were too powerful.
Perhaps it was because of Andre's strong points that the City of Shadows could develop so quickly, unlike when Wallace was in charge of the City of Shadows, where wars would break out from time to time.
However, Andre's weakness in strength was also very obvious. The patriarchs of the major family clans in the City of Shadows were not particularly respectful to Andre because Andre's strength was not enough to suppress them. If it wasn't for the fact that Andre was appointed to the position of City Lord by the Darkness Overgod, the patriarchs of the major family clans might have long joined forces to impeach him and force him out of the position.
"Yarus has sent someone to urge us to assemble all our divine guards and be ready to face the attacks from the three Dominions at any time. According to Yarus, the Dominions of Light, Life, and Water seem to be up to something big. Perhaps the next time they attack, it won't just be a simple probe, "Andre was rather worried. After hesitating for a moment, he put on a bitter smile and said, "But the House of Kinson, House of Kisa, and House of Buller have their own plans. They do not wish to mobilize their forces so early and hope that others can take the lead. They are going against my orders in secret. This is really troublesome."
Carmelita coldly groaned and said, "Those fellas are getting more and more ungrateful. I think it's time for us to make our relationship clear with them. If necessary, we might even have to resort to force!"
Andre stared blankly for a moment. After hesitating for a moment, he sighed and said, "Carmelita, I know what you mean. But the three major family clans possess enormous power in the City of Shadows. Putting aside whether it's appropriate for us to go to war at such a crucial time, do you think that our strength is enough to make the three major family clans behave themselves?"
Carmelita did not say another word after hearing those words. Her face turned rather ugly.
No matter how arrogant Carmelita was, she knew that the current strength of the House of Sainte was no longer enough to suppress the three major family clans. This was a time when unity was needed the most. If the House of Sainte were to act rashly, they might even infuriate the Overgod of Darkness. If the Overgod of Darkness felt that the House of Sainte was acting against his will, the House of Sainte would lose all support!
Although the patriarchs of the three major family clans sometimes disliked Andre as the City Lord, they at least maintained a respectful façade and did not dare to act against the House of Sainte. The reason for this was because Yarus had conveyed the will of the Overgod of Darkness. The three major family clans were not afraid of the House of Sainte, but the Overgod of Darkness!
"Forget it, just bear with it. After this storm blows over, I will immediately go into seclusion to cultivate. Hmph, as long as I reach the late-stage realm, the three of them will behave themselves, "Andre said. "For now, the most important thing is to maintain the unity of the Shadow Clan. We must not complicate matters at this time!"
"There's no way we can unite them. If they don't obey orders, we won't be able to gather our forces in the city. When Yarus comes to investigate, the responsibility will still be on our side. Who knows, the Overgod of Darkness might even blame us for our incompetence," Erebus bunched his brows and sighed.
"Then what should we do?" Andre put on a bitter smile.
"I heard that Brian is doing very well in the Fringe. Even someone as valiant as Jarre was killed by him. If Brian were in the City of Shadows, those fellas wouldn't even dare to fart," Aobashi said softly as she stole a glance at Andre and Carmelita after hesitating for a moment.
Andre and Carmelita's faces jolted when they heard those words. Carmelita coldly shouted, "Why are you mentioning him? Didn't I say that long ago? Don't ever mention that name again! "
"Sigh, it's not Brian's fault …" Erebus had always been close to Aobashi and he muttered to himself.
"No matter what, when he first came to the City of Shadows, our House of Sainte has always treated him well. My father also took good care of him back then. But in the end, he didn't even spare my father! I don't want to hear about such a vicious character ever again! "Carmelita said fiercely.
"That's right. No matter what, Big Brother died in his hands. No matter how close we were to him in the past, we must never associate with him again, "Andre said with a gloomy face. He seemed displeased.
"Then why didn't the City of Shadows participate in Yarus's proposal to head to the Fringe to kill Brian?" Aobashi raised her head and glanced at Carmelita and Andre.
Andre and Carmelita both remained silent. Their faces were terrifyingly gloomy.
Aobashi sighed in her heart and did not say anything else. She knew that Andre and Carmelita had special feelings for Han Shuo and that it wasn't something that could be resolved with mere words.
Before Han Shuo killed Wallace, he was very close to Andre and Carmelita. When Wallace wanted to deal with Han Shuo, Andre and Han Shuo had even disregarded their familial ties and tried to stop Wallace. They had helped the Han family a lot and truly considered Han Shuo as their last friend.
But in the end, Wallace had indeed died in the hands of Han Shuo!
This was an irreconcilable conflict. It was so complicated that Aobashi didn't know how to help them resolve it. All these years, Aobashi and Erebus had tried to persuade the two but the two were convinced that Han Shuo shouldn't have killed Wallace. Therefore, they had never forgiven Han Shuo no matter what they said.
"Sigh …" It was at this moment that a long sigh sounded from outside. It sounded like the owner of the sigh was extremely helpless and melancholic.
"Who's there?" a guard from the Sainte Residence suddenly shouted in an attempt to locate the source of the sigh.
They were in the Sainte Residence. Andre and Carmelita were having a meeting in a secret chamber. No one was allowed to approach them. It was at this moment that a strange sigh sounded. The divine guards immediately got into action and started searching for the intruder as though they were facing a great enemy.
Andre, Carmelita, Erebus, and Aobashi were stunned for a moment. They seemed to have recalled something from that familiar voice. After a long while, Erebus was startled and stood up from his seat. He cried out in alarm, "Damn it! Am I hallucinating? I think I heard Brian's voice just now."
"I don't think so. He should be in the Fringe right now. There's no way he would be here. Haha, Erebus, we must have been too nervous lately, "Aobashi shook her head and laughed. Suddenly, her expression froze and she said in a daze, "That can't be right. You and I both heard it. It can't be a hallucination. But it's also impossible for Brian to be here. Perhaps it was someone with a voice similar to Brian's. Hmm, maybe I should go out and take a look …"
Aobashi mumbled to herself. She got up and prepared to go out and take a look.
"It's him! It's definitely him! " Said Carmelita stubbornly as she bit her lips so hard that they were about to bleed.
Andre abruptly stood up. A trace of pleasant surprise flashed across his eyes. But shortly after, as though he suddenly recalled something, he took a glance at Carmelita beside him and sat back down. After taking a short pause, he said in a deep voice, "Don't worry about it. Let him be."
"How can we do that?" Aobashi bunched her brows and said, "The intruder might have heard our conversation. If it's not Brian, we must find out who he is! If it really is Brian, even if you don't want to see him, Erebus and I are friends with him. This is the City of Shadows. We must see him no matter what! "
After saying those words, Aobashi hastily signaled Erebus with her eyes. Erebus nodded knowingly and said, "That's right, that's right."
While the two of them were talking, they didn't leave immediately. Instead, their eyes darted back and forth between Carmelita and Andre, observing their expressions.
