Just as Han Sen expected, when Han Sen practiced The Story of Genes, his body and lifeforce did not react. It did not work.
That was normal. The basic requirements of The Story of Genes were too high. It wasn't just humans. Even the top-class demi-gods of the sanctuaries couldn't meet the basic requirements of The Story of Genes.
But just as Han Sen was about to give up, the black crystal armor in his Sea of Soul reacted.
When Han Sen practiced according to The Story of Genes, the black crystal armor had a mysterious power flowing through it. It felt as if the black crystal armor had a pulse, too.
Han Sen was shocked. He followed The Story of Genes to practice, and the black crystal armor's mysterious power started to move. It kept running through the armor.
As time went by, the black crystal armor's mysterious power grew stronger. When it completed a cycle, Han Sen did not need to use it anymore. The mysterious power started to run through the black crystal armor on its own.
Han Sen looked at the black crystal armor strangely. He did not know what it was.
He had found the black crystal in the First God's Sanctuary. He later learned that the black crystal could help creatures and beast souls evolve.
Han Sen had always thought it was a treasure from a high-class shelter. But now, the armor inside the black crystal was activated by the skills of the crystallizers' main control room. It had a strange reaction, and Han Sen had a lot to think about.
"Do the sanctuaries have something to do with the crystallizers?" Han Sen guessed.
The black crystal armor's mysterious power ran through many cycles. Suddenly, it flowed out of its body. It was like rain in spring, flowing into Han Sen's body. It kept running in the same cycle.
In the beginning, when the mysterious power nourished his cells, Han Sen felt as if he had eaten a life fruit.
But not long after, Han Sen's face looked terrible. It was not that the mysterious power was harmful. It was just that the mysterious power was too strong. It was only running through his body, but it was already too much for Han Sen to handle.
It was like a small river had been widened by a powerful flood. Han Sen's body was being torn apart by the mysterious power.
Blood dyed Han Sen's body red. Many of his muscles and veins exploded. Even with the strength of Han Sen's body, he was like a piece of paper in the face of that mysterious power.
And that was because the mysterious power was just running. It was not attacking him.
The mysterious power was not under his control. It was roaring inside his body, and it kept running.
If Han Sen's body was a world, then the black crystal armor's mysterious power would be like a flood that destroyed the world in ancient legends.
Han Sen's body was going to be destroyed by the mysterious power. His muscles, bones, and veins were all under attack. Han Sen's entire body was covered in blood. His muscles were torn, and his bones were cracked.
Just as Han Sen thought he was going to die, the mysterious power completed a cycle in his body. It then left his body and returned to the black crystal armor.
Han Sen lay on the ground, gasping for air. After a while, he calmed down and used Jadeskin to heal his body.
The mysterious power had not caused any fatal damage, but it had damaged every part of his body. All of his cells had been damaged, and his recovery was slow.
Han Sen had no choice but to ask Moment Queen to bring Little Silver over so that he could heal his wounds.
Fortunately, Little Silver's lightning powers were strong. With the help of Han Sen's own power, it only took him an hour to heal all of his wounds.
The black crystal armor's mysterious power was still running, and it showed no signs of stopping.
But that was not the end. After that day, even if Han Sen did not practice The Story of Genes, the black crystal armor's mysterious power would come out every two days. It would run through Han Sen's body in the same way, and it would damage Han Sen's body.
Han Sen didn't know what the black crystal armor meant by this. It seemed as if it wanted him to practice this skill, too.
But Han Sen had tried this many times. After the black crystal armor started to flow through his body, no matter how much he practiced with The Story of Genes, there was no reaction.
Han Sen felt as if his body had changed, but he couldn't tell exactly what it was that had changed.
Fortunately, after being hurt by that mysterious power again and again, he had gotten used to it. Although he couldn't practice The Story of Genes, when that mysterious power went through his body, the damage it did to him was lessening.
Half a month later, when the mysterious power was running through his body, it was only enough to make him feel pain. The damage was so small that it was almost negligible.
Ling Mei 'er was ready to go to Dark Spirit Shelter, and Han Sen brought Bao' er with him. He was Ling Mei 'er's human.
Ling Mei 'er was used to Han Sen using his real body, and she was the only one who knew about Han Sen's Super King Spirit.
Fortunately, Ling Mei 'er was very pure. She didn't interact much with the outside world, and she trusted Han Sen very much. He didn't have to worry about her leaking the information.
Ling Mei 'er rode Snake King in the lead, and Han Sen followed behind. He kept looking at the Old Underground, as well.
It was a big underground cave, and there was something like a cloud floating above it. Han Sen could see a Holy Vine poking out of the clouds.
In the center of the ancient city, one could see a vine that was as huge as a heavenly pillar. It extended all the way into the clouds as if it was supporting the heavens and the earth.
Many creatures and spirits came and went in the shelter, but the spirits there were mostly Dark Spirits.
Many Dark Spirits and creatures looked at Ling Mei 'er and Snake King with respect. They were afraid of Snake King, and they were jealous of Ling Mei' er.
"Han Sen!" Han Sen heard a surprised voice when he followed Ling Mei 'er into the shelter.
Han Sen thought the voice was familiar, and he turned around to look. He didn't know if he should be happy or worried.
