Under the stone lantern's light, Han Sen was able to see broken buildings. 99% of Sacred had been turned into ruins during the big fight. Only a few special places, like the holy garden, remained intact.
Walking through the dark ruins, Han Sen followed Qin Xiu's instructions. He walked out of the holy garden's back door and kept going forward. He went through many buildings that looked like trash piles, but he was unable to see the legendary Sacred race hall.
Suddenly, Han Sen saw a statue that was relatively intact in the ruins ahead of him. It was the statue of a ghost car.
Han Sen pointed at the stone statue and asked, "Is that the ghost car of Sacred's four holy beasts?"
"Mister, that is the ghost car statue," Nine Thousand King quickly said. "That stone statue was in front of the holy palace's plaza. I do not know how it ended up here."
Wu … Wu … Wu …
In the dark, there was the sound of a woman crying. It gave Han Sen goosebumps.
"Old Nine, do you know where that crying sound is coming from?" Han Sen asked with a frown. Along the way, he had heard the sound of a woman crying many times.
"Mister, that crying sound is coming from a space charm," Nine Thousand King replied. "That is the sound of a space charm crying out in hunger. There must be a space charm looking at us, but because of the lantern in your hand, the space charm does not dare come any closer."
"What kind of xenogeneic is the space charm?" Han Sen asked.
Nine Thousand King smiled and said, "I do not know.
That thing only lives in the darkness of Sacred.
It never gets close to the long, bright lantern.
Ordinary light can light up the darkness, but it cannot reveal the space charm's body.
You can only see a black shadow floating in the air.
It is like the silhouette of a fairy flying in the sky, but you cannot see its face or details."
"By the way, Mister, your stone lantern is very powerful. Aside from the long, bright lantern, I have never heard of any other light that can block out the darkness of Sacred." Nine Thousand King carefully tried to flatter Han Sen. He wanted to know more about the stone lantern.
Han Sen did not say anything. He held the stone lantern and kept walking.
Suddenly, Han Sen saw the light of an everlasting lantern appear in front of them. It was as large as a firefly. Obviously, it was still some distance away from them.
Han Sen was happy. He walked toward the light. Nine Thousand King followed.
When he got closer to the light, he saw that it was a giant stone tablet. There were two long, bright lanterns on each side of the tablet. The lanterns were bigger than the usual ones, and they lit up an area of a few hundred meters around them. It was like they were forming a dome in the dark.
Han Sen saw a few people standing in front of the stone tablet. Ancient Abyss Grandmaster and three other deifieds of the Extreme King were there. Aside from them, there was another person. When Han Sen looked at him, his body shook. That person was Sky Palace's first seat, whom he had seen outside the shelter's gate.
Back then, Sky Palace's first seat wanted to take Littleflower as a student. In the end, Han Sen took him back. After that, Han Sen had never seen him again.
He had gone to Sky Palace a few times, but he had never seen Sky Palace's first seat. He did not expect to see him there.
Han Sen wanted to hide his face, but it was too late. Sky Palace's first seat, Ancient Abyss Grandmaster, and the others were already looking at him.
Han Sen frowned. Sky Palace's first seat knew he had come from the sanctuaries. If his identity was exposed, it would be troublesome.
When Ancient Abyss Grandmaster and the others saw Han Sen, they were shocked. They stared at the stone lantern in Han Sen's hands. That stone lantern was like a long, bright lantern that could light up the darkness of Sacred. It could also move freely. That surprised them.
Sky Palace's first seat looked shocked, too. What surprised him was different from Ancient Abyss Grandmaster and the others.
Han Sen brought the goldfish family and Nine Thousand King in front of the stone tablet. He put away the stone lantern. He was going to greet Ancient Abyss Grandmaster, but Ancient Abyss Grandmaster shook his head with a wry smile. "Brother Han, you should not have come."
"What do you mean?" Han Sen asked with shock.
Ancient Abyss Grandmaster said, "Although there is a long, bright lantern here, this is a dangerous place. We are all trapped here. No one can get out."
Han Sen thought, "This is a dangerous place. Why didn't you say so earlier? Wait until I came in. What is the point?"
Ancient Abyss Grandmaster was not related to him, so there was no reason for him to remind him. Han Sen did not count on him. He coldly asked, "This place can trap you, Grandmaster. What is so special about it?"
Ancient Abyss Grandmaster pointed at the stone tablet and said, "Look at the stone tablet and you will understand."
Han Sen turned his head and looked at the stone tablet. When he looked at Sky Palace's first seat, he saw him looking at him with eyes that were on fire. He did not do anything else.
He looked at the stone tablet. Han Sen saw three big words on the stone tablet.
"Fate Tablet." Han Sen read the three words on the stone tablet. He did not understand why they were trapped there.
Ancient Abyss Grandmaster saw Han Sen's expression.
He knew he did not know where the fate tablet came from, so he explained, "The fate tablet is a geno treasure born by the Holy Kirin of the four holy beasts.
This tablet can determine life and death.
The Holy Kirin used this treasure to become invincible in the universe.
Now, this tablet is here.
Although the Holy Kirin is not controlling it, the fate power is still there.
If you enter the fate tablet's area, you will be affected by its power.
Your life will be set here.
If you leave the fate tablet, your life will break, and your body will die."
"Is that true?" Han Sen looked at the fate tablet with shock.
"Mister, that is true," Nine Thousand King politely said to Han Sen. "Look at the back of the fate tablet. There is our life shadow there."
Ancient Abyss Grandmaster and the others were shocked. Nine Thousand King and Han Sen had come together. They thought it was weird. Now, Nine Thousand King and Han Sen were talking to each other. It was not as simple as just being respectful. It looked like they were servile servants.
Nine Thousand King led the way. Han Sen took the goldfish mother and son to the back of the fate tablet. An Extreme King deified elite quietly said to Ancient Abyss Grandmaster, "It looks like Nine Thousand King has joined Han Sen. That is weird. How could an old monster like that be recruited by Han Sen?"
Ancient Abyss Grandmaster shook his head and did not speak. When Sky Palace's first seat heard that, he frowned even harder.
Sky Palace's first seat looked at Han Sen strangely.
"This kid is the person I saw at the gate of the sanctuaries.
Even if he left the sanctuaries and came to the universe, with his talent, he could not have achieved much.
It has only been a few years since I last saw him, and he is already deified.
He can even recruit an old monster like Nine Thousand King.
What happened while I was trapped here?"
