Chapter 994: Reconstruction (2/2)
”Of course. You shouldn't think too much about this. If the God of Light decided to protect his soul, there's little I can do about it. However, Gyál fared far worse than you did. Back then, your soul and divine body had only been separated, but Gyál's divine body was now completely vaporized. In a way, your grudge is now resolved.”
”I am more than satisfied with how things turned out. Only, I am a little worried about you. The God of Light definitely has his eyes on you now. Will you be alright?” He furrowed his brow as he paused. ”I really don't know how you cultivated to the point of being able to wipe Gyál out so easily.”
”It's best that you don't overthink this matter. Don't worry, I can protect myself. It's best you go back soon to defend your city.”
”Alright, I'll take my leave now. Take care, Bryan!” He didn't say anything else and immediately went where Yarus and the others had gone.
By stunning the invading guardians with his nigh-impossible feat, Han Shuo managed to resolve the threats easily.
”Haha, the Fringe won't be in any danger for the time being. We still have to rebuild the Hexopolis. I will go back to Pandemonium for now, so I'll need you guys to stay here. Just use the magic mirror to contact me if there are any issues and I'll come immediately,” Han Shuo instructed, now that he had the luxury of getting things done without having to worry about the threats.
”Alright. We will gather the other gods in the Fringe and have them help manage the place according to your plans. Just rest assured, we will make sure nothing goes wrong here,” Salas said with a laugh. He seemed to be in a rather good mood.
From that day onwards, conflict in the Fringe substantially decreased. Without the sneaky Tyre, Logue, and Ossora around, they could finally manage the Fringe properly. Once the battle of the gods began, many more people might come to the Fringe, giving it new life. It might even grow even more powerful than before.
”Bryan, go deal with what you have to,” Wasir said.
”Alright. I'll leave this place to the two of you.” He left without saying much else. At his consciousness's current level, he would even be able to feel the presence of enemies all the way from Pandemonium without needing Wasir or Salas to inform him, so he wasn't worried in the least.
......
Soon, Han Shuo returned to Pandemonium. The Five Elite Zombies managed to restore some former semblance to the ruins, with most of the crevices in the ground now gone, causing the eternal fog to once more form within.
Han Shuo began the reconstruction once he arrived, first having the Five Elite Zombies to change some of the mountainous layout as he imagined them before using his power to forcefully alter the natural laws. He even moved large swathes of earth to fill in the seas and collected all sorts of material that he lacked.
With his realm state at the Diablo Realm and the power of his thirteen avatars, he was stronger than he had ever been. He began to focus his efforts on installing the Ninth Realm Mystical Yin Harvester.
Something like that could rob so much elemental Yuan from the surroundings that it could even drag Han Shuo into this world from another universe. If it was constructed in Elysium, a place with energy that was hundreds of times denser and countless times abundant, it was surely to be unmatched.
It represented a tremendous undertaking. Han Shuo utilized the Five Elite Zombies' powers and his own insights from his new realm to gather resources from all over the Fringe, the areas near Ethereal City as well as the Dominion of Destiny to fill Pandemonium without regard for how many black crystal coins he had to spend.
Time quickly passed and Pandemonium had changed quite a lot, incorporating much of the mountains and lakes next to it as it expanded to five times its former size. The climate in Pandemonium had also changed considerably, with lightning bolts and strong snow being common sights. It gradually turned into among the grandest places in Elysium as the battle of the gods began.
