Chapter 621 advertisemen (1/2)
A late-stage highgod! Han Shuo was greatly alarmed. After his two avatars had cultivated to be lowgods, he finally recognized just how mighty a god really was. A late-stage highgod expert was to the present-day Han Shuo simply unimaginably powerful.
Han Shuo knew none of his avatars could handle a duel against a mid-stage lowgod alone. Only with all three souls combined did Han Shuo have the confidence to attain victory.
Highgods were genuinely terrifying existences, and even more so were late-stage highgods. They were the mightiest beings below the Overgods and were practically invincible.
If Gyál was a late-stage highgod, then this soul that he had personally set about to seal in this Holy Grail couldn’t be much lower in strength.
As Han Shuo thought about it, he became even more wary about helping this person to free this soul. If by any chance this person was an ingrate and coveted for the power of faith of Profound Continent, Han Shuo would have no way of even defending it and could only look on helplessly as what was his was occupied and taken away.
“Why did he stow you away you?” Han Shuo carefully asked. His heart was apprehensive.
“During the great battle between gods, I, as a cultivator of the edict of space, helped an old friend and opened up an interplanar tunnel that connected two battlefields together, which ultimately resulted in Gyál’s forces losing the battle. After the event, Gyál learned of my involvement and he despicably mounted a sneak attack on me, separating my divine soul from my divine body. He cast my soul into this Holy Grail. But I have no idea where my divine body is kept.” His words were increasingly sparse and his voice breathy.
Han Shuo had no idea if he was telling the truth or just lying. He maintained scruples about this being and kept silent as he digested his words.
“Your divine soul and divine body are separated. How is it that you can still deploy the edictal force of space?” Han Shuo’s eyebrows were raised and his forehead creased.
As this cultivator of the edict of space of unknown origins possessed the ability to pause time, Han Shuo could not neglect the danger of his existence. Han Shuo was always vigilant and cautious towards anyone who wasn’t an ally and had the strength to pose him threat. He would never do something out of impulse only to deeply regret it later.
“This is thanks to the unique property of this Holy Grail. Gyál didn’t want me to die, so he extracted a very minute portion of the divine energy from my divine body and placed it in this Grail. This way my soul is preserved and the master of the Grail can take control of my power by activating the light element magical matrix on the Grail.”
Just a minute portion of his divine energy could form a spacetime barrier and suspend time as far as a fifty kilometer radius. If this person’s divine body and soul were to be reunited, just how mighty would he be?
The more he explained, the more Han Shuo was appalled. In turn, the more apprehensive Han Shuo was in making him any promises.
“You are sealed in this Holy Grail by Gyál, and this Grail was in turn handed to this Light Pope. In that case, can that highgod Gyál sense your presence through the Grail? Will Gyál travel across material planes to look for you if the Light Pope loses the Grail?” Han Shuo carefully inquired. He was well aware that if that Gyál were to descend on this plane for this Holy Grail, even with just his soul, no one on Profound Continent would be a match against him. By then, even Han Shuo himself, the biggest heretic, would be hard pressed to escape. Han Shuo needed to be sure.
“Haha, I know what you are worried about.” Perhaps he had been shut in there for too long, as the being seemed to be very interested in making conversation. The more he talked with Han Shuo, the more relaxed his intonation became. “Gyál putting me here has indicated that this plane must be extremely remote from high-level material planes. I reckon that this place is merely a low-level material plane.”
The gods classified material planes into barren, low-level, mid-level, and high-level. A barren material plane had sparse populations with limited lands. Living beings on those planes lacked in development. Elements of all sorts were thin and energy ores were scant. No real gods had ever arisen from those planes. A low-level material plane had its own culture and civilization. The total population would reach around one billion, since they were usually blessed with relatively expansive land, an adequate amount of elements all around, and sufficient energy ore. Lowgods tended to inhabit those planes. Mid-level material planes were populated with much more developed civilizations, their total populations often bordering on about ten billion. They were privileged to have vast expanses of land, soils rich with elements, and energy ore deposits in gross excess. Planes like this were crowded with midgods; and high-level material planes were all the more so. The total population of most high-level material planes would be at least ten billion. Their lands were boundlessly vast. Elements of all sorts could be found in rich and intense concentrations. There were plenty of strange and miraculous ores to be found. Numerous lowgods and midgods lived there. Highgods were also present on those planes.
Han Shuo had learned this information from Bechymos back at the Abyss realm. After returning to Profound Continent, based on that method of classifying material planes, Han Shuo knew that the Profound Continent was barely considered a low-level material plane. Profound Continent was home to rather vast lands but the total population it hosted was just short of two hundred million. There indeed were lowgods present, but so far, other than himself, the only lowgod that Han Shuo knew of was the Primordius Dragon.
