Chapter 621
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.
“Haha, well I don’t count on you setting me free immediately. It is my firm belief that it takes time for two people to understand and be familiar with each other, and time is the most of what I have. I hope that you will keep the Grail yourself and talk to me when you have the time. I have been lonely for too long and being able to talk to someone from time to time, to me, is something of a luxury. Hmm, I believe that I have far greater knowledge about the affairs between the gods in all the major material planes than you do. If you have any questions, asking me could be the fastest way to get the answer.”
Han Shuo stared blankly for a moment and turned delighted. He transmitted, “Then I shall thank you in advance. There are indeed many things that I don’t yet know about high-level material planes. You, as an expert cultivating in the edict of space, could definitely assist me greatly in that aspect. Right, be at ease. As soon as I ensure that you have no bad inclinations, or better still, when I’m confident that there is no possibility that you would cause me a threat, I will spare no effort in getting you out from the Grail. And if I feel that you are friendly enough, I might even find ways to locate your divine body and assist you to truly resurrect so you can get your revenge.”
“Well then, it’s a deal!” The being softly laughed. He seemed to be in a great mood.
“It’s a deal!” Han Shuo too was in a fine mood and gladly promised.
