GDK 747: Avici Godslaying Sword Formation
The Goddess of Destiny was the most mysterious of the twelve Overgods. Her Dominion of Destiny had always taken no sides and permanently neutral. It was said that Her words represented the wishes of the Creator. She does not usually intervene with affairs on the Elysium and would only show up to mediate peace when the fights between the Overgods grew too far.
The Goddess of Destiny was such a unique existence that the remaining eleven Overgods would always listen to her advice.
Knowing that even the gods who cultivated in the edict of destiny rarely had a chance to meet Her, Andre was surprised that Erebus and Aobashi were so fortunate to have the opportunity.
After hearing Andre’s explanation, Aobashi and Erebus carefully recalled the scene they witnessed back then. Suddenly, as though they had realized something, their faces jolted and were obviously overwhelmed with shock. Han Shuo, who have been secretly observing their expressions, immediately realized that Andre’s words were likely true. The being who abruptly materialized before Aobashi and Erebus was very likely the most mysterious Overgod on Elysium.
If it is true that the Goddess of Destiny is Andrina’s mother, then her status is shockingly noble! However, why would Andrina, the daughter of the Destiny Overgod, show up in the Darkness Dominion? Also, why would Andrina hate the godhunters so much?
Han Shuo pondered and pondered, and yet he came no closer to a plausible explanation.
Han Shuo was convinced of Andre’s guess about the identity of Andrina’s mother. That would explain why Andrina owned a crystal so miraculous that it could shatter the clone of the godhunter’s boss. If her mother was the Goddess of Destiny, it would make sense that Andrina could come into possession of an overgod divine weapon. Only an overgod divine weapon bestowed by an Overgod with the Quintessence could unleash a power that terrifying!
“Bryan, if I guessed it right, that Andrina is the daughter of the Goddess of Destiny, then Andrina will definitely be alright!” Andre consoled Han Shuo. “Before the Goddess left, She asked Aobashi to pass you her gratitude. Bryan, you are such a lucky one. You actually left a good impression on the Goddess of Destiny!”
Aobashi and Erebus looked at Han Shuo with admiring and envious gazes. The twelve Overgods, to most people, were existences far above reach, and especially so for the most mysterious Overgod. Han Shuo who had arrived on Elysium not too long ago, unexpected, won the favor of the Destiny Goddess and even built a friendship with Her daughter, Andrina. What a lucky one!
“As long is Andrina is fine, I’m happy,” said Han Shuo smilingly. He did not expect that Andrina would have such a noble identity.
“All that we have discussed in this room, shall stay inside this room. Do not speak of what we have discussed to anyone else!” warned Andre after a moment of thinking.
Han Shuo, Aobashi, and Erebus nodded at Andre.
“Alright, discussion of any other matter shall be put off until my elder brother returns. You are all dismissed!” said Andre smilingly. However, right before Han Shuo was out of his sight, he gently cried out, “Bryan!”
Han Shuo immediately stopped in his tracks. Aobashi and Erebus appeared as though they heard nothing and continued to leave quietly.
“Yes?” Han Shuo turned around and looked at Andre with puzzled gazes, “Is there anything else I can help you with, Lord Andre?”
Andre smiled cordially and said, “Bryan, my elder brother is very happy with your performance. If nothing unexpected happens, he will appoint you as the Chief of Fifth Corps sometime later. I’m telling you this so you can get prepared mentally!”
Han Shuo was elated. He said sincerely, “Thank you!”
“You’re welcome. Not only that you have made an enormous contribution to the City of Shadows, but you have also amply demonstrated your strength by bearing the energy which even Erebus could not overcome,” praised Andre smilingly, “Go back and make some preparations. You might want to start recruiting for some gods. After all, you can’t run the entire Fifth Corps alone, can you?”
Han Shuo nodded and said no more. He bowed at Andre and left the Sainte Residence perfectly contented.
Although Aobashi and Erebus did not consider their raid on the godhunters a success, to Han Shuo, however, the mission ended wonderfully. Not only that he had made breakthroughs in his cultivations of demonic arts and edict of destruction, he had obtained seventeen huge venomous fangs. He also learned of the relationship between Godswamp Pharmacy and the godhunters, not to forget having demonstrated his capability.
Other than the fact that Andrina went home with her mother, the affair resulted in a big win for Han Shuo.
After returning to Celestial Pearl, Han Shuo was briefed by Phoebe and Emily about the recent situation of his business. Thanks to the hard word of his two ladies, all branches of Celestial Pearl thorough the territories of the City of Shadows were opened for business. The branches were just as popular as the headquarters in the City. At the current time, Celestial Pearl Pharmacy had occupied a seventy-percent share of the entire pharmacy market in the City of Shadows, overshadowing all other rivaling pharmacies.
By now, with most operations in Celestial Pearl moving on autopilot, running on established, streamlined processes, even Phoebe and Emily were freed from constant work, allowing them to spend more time on their cultivations.
Those mortals who came from Profound Continent had basically not taken a step out from their rooms. They spent all their time of improving their own strengths using the enormous resources Han Shuo provided them. Having been able to cultivate to the pinnacle on an environment as poor as Profound Continent, these people were able to make tremendous progress on Elysium, where resources were abundant and the elements several hundred times more intense.
Within a short time, all of them managed to raise their strengths by several classes. Stratholme the old monster, Ayermike Cotton, and a few others, had advanced to early-stage lowgod realm. Candide and Emma, whose strengths were relatively low among them, rose through multiple realms. They will soon reach basegodhood.
Before leaving for the Third Corps, Han Shuo had provided them not just the Rebirth Pill and Pill of Tranquility he had personally refined, but he also gave them some crystal coins for them to purchase the divine weapon and divine scrolls they needed. This assisted them tremendously.
Even Phoebe and Emily who had to spend time on running the Celestial Pearl will soon reach the realm of basegod.
Han Shuo could not be happier with what he heard from Phoebe and Emily. Although Han Shuo knew that their strength will increase by leaps and bounds, he was nonetheless shocked to learn that they managed to break through one or more realms within a short few months.
“Bryan, at this trend, all of us will enter the realm of lowgod in just a few years!” said Emily smilingly.
“Wonderful!” exclaimed Han Shuo. “Wallace intends to have me take over the Fifth Corps. I was worried about where to employ trusted experts but it seems that I have nothing to worry about! Once all of you from Profound Continent gained decent strengths, you can fill the key positions in my agency. I will have a much easier time with your help!”
People like Candide and Emily were once high-ranking members of the Dark Mantle back on Profound Continent. The tasks and duties of City of Shadows’ Divine Guard Corps were similar to those of the Lancelot Empire’s Dark Mantle. Someone like Candide, with a little time to learn and adapt, could easily do the job well, and perhaps outperform the others.
Ayermike Cotton, Stratholme the old monster, and the others, were all experienced characters. Once they advance to lowgodhood, they will be great helpers for Han Shuo in various businesses. They will be the pillar of Han Shuo’s future family clan!
It was for their outstanding talents that Han Shuo would spare no effort in bringing them to this Plane of Gods from the distant Profound Continent, in addition to supplying with a generous amount of black crystal coins to raise their strengths!
After returning to Elysium, as Han Shuo had to sort out various matters, on top of having been assiduously cultivating to raise his strength he deemed lacking, he had spent a less than desired amount of time with his women.
Phoebe and Emily, after giving Han Shuo a brief account of the current situation in Celestial Pearl, wanted to rush back to cultivation. Having observed that Han Shuo’s strength was ever-increasing and fearing the distance between them grew ever larger, they put all their efforts on raising their strengths.
“Aren’t you staying a little longer? It’s been a while since we last had… “ Han Shuo said with a lewd grin while holding Phoebe and Emily’s hands.
