Because they couldn't get the treasure, Six Paths and God's Retribution decided to leave. Little Fairy didn't want to leave, either.
Just in case they got lost again, Han Sen told Starsea Beast to go back the way they had come. They wanted to return to a place without the flowers.
Starsea Beast led them through the glaciers and went back the way they came. They returned to the place where they encountered the God corpse Bugs. Luckily, they didn't find any traces of the bugs, so they didn't know if they had retreated back into the ice.
"Ahem, ahem. It is safe here. I should go. From now on, it will depend on who gets the relic." God's Retribution left in a hurry.
Seeing God's Retribution leave, Han Sen wondered if God's Retribution could actually practice the skill.
But that didn't seem likely. Even if he could practice the skill, he didn't have Starsea Beast's ability to teleport. It'd be difficult for him to return to the white metal tower.
After all, Starsea Beast had gone in a straight line. God knew how many glaciers and mountains they had passed. If Han Sen had gone there alone, he'd have had to take many detours. He might not have been able to find the white metal tower.
Six Paths said goodbye, too. He was a lone wolf, and he didn't like to travel with others. He didn't want to share the treasure with others, either.
Han Sen allowed Starsea Beast to rest for a while. Then, he led them back to the Godlight Tunnel.
God's Ruin had many strange places, but there were very few creatures. Aside from the God's Corpse Bugs and the Ice Seahorses, they hadn't seen anything else.
"There are mountains up ahead. We are on the right track. That is where the Godlight Tunnel is," Little Fairy, who was flying in front, suddenly shouted.
Han Sen sat on Little Star's back. He raised his head and looked ahead. Between the glaciers, there were a few green-gray mountains. They looked just like the Godlight Tunnel Little Fairy had told him about.
Starsea Beast ran towards the mountain, but before he got close, he could already see the shadows of creatures. There were quite a few of them, too.
Han Sen took a closer look, and his eyes froze. Among the shadows, he saw the woman who looked like an angel. There was also a cheap dog.
Aside from them, Han Sen also saw Yu Miao and Yu Xuan. Regardless of whether it was Goddess or Yu Miao, they had many companions. It looked as if they were subordinates who were there to protect them in God's Ruin.
What surprised Han Sen the most was that aside from Goddess and Yu Miao, there was another familiar face. It was Little Jade Lion King, whom he had seen a few times in the Geno Core Storage.
Although it wasn't very strong, it had many creatures with it. They were all gemstone class creatures, and their overall power was no weaker than Goddess and Yu Miao's.
When Han Sen saw them, they saw Han Sen, too. They all had different expressions.
Yu Miao and Goddess frowned. They didn't expect Han Sen to be there. Little Jade Lion King didn't care about Han Sen, though. He didn't know the human was the owner of the Crystal Core.
"What are you doing here?" Yu Xuan looked at Han Sen and asked.
He thought Han Sen's soul had been damaged. Even if he recovered, he wouldn't be able to improve. So, he didn't think much of Han Sen.
"I'm here to challenge the Godlight Tunnel. Why else would I be here?" Han Sen squinted his eyes as he looked at the creatures around Yu Miao and Goddess.
They had a few dozen gemstone class spirits and creatures following them. Han Sen wondered if he could kill Goddess, the b * stard dog, Yu Miao, and Yu Xuan while they were under his protection.
Goddess and the b * stard dog were Han Sen's primary targets. They were creatures, and they wouldn't come back to life.
Yu Miao and Yu Xuan were spirits, though. If he killed them now, they could come back to life. But if he was strong enough, he'd kill them first.
Han Sen looked at the creatures behind Goddess. When he saw a human face, he froze.
"Why is she here?" Han Sen saw Queen Huangfu Jing among Goddess's people.
When he returned to the Alliance, he heard Huangfu Jing had become a demi-god, but she hadn't returned. He wondered if something had happened to her in the Fourth God's Sanctuary.
He didn't expect Queen to have come to Sacred Shelter and follow Goddess to God's Ruin.
Queen recognized Han Sen, too, but her face didn't change. She didn't want to talk to Han Sen right now, and she didn't want to cause any trouble for Han Sen.
Han Sen didn't know if Queen was bound by a contract, but he didn't want Goddess and the b * stard dog to use her to threaten him.
What surprised Han Sen the most was that when he looked at Yu Miao, he saw someone familiar. Tang Zhenliu was standing behind Yu Miao.
Tang Zhenliu and the Empress were the same. They both restrained themselves and did not reveal any strange expressions. Obviously, they also had misgivings in their hearts.
Yu Xuan's face darkened when Han Sen talked back to him. He looked at Han Sen and said, "Do you think you can enter the Godlight Tunnel as you please?
The Godlight Tunnel belongs to Outer Sky Shelter. If you want to enter, hand over a gemstone geno core. "
Before Han Sen could speak, Little Jade Lion shouted, "What do you mean the Godlight Tunnel belongs to Outer Sky Shelter? This place belongs to Lion Mountain!"
"What are you talking about?
Sacred is the owner of the Godlight Tunnel. Can't you see we are all Gods?
What are you doing here? "the b * stard dog next to Goddess shouted.
Han Sen now knew why they were all stuck there. No one wanted to enter the Godlight Tunnel. It was because all three factions wanted to claim it and collect a toll.
In the mountains around, there were a few creatures and spirits. They didn't belong to any of the three factions, and they were all in the same situation as Han Sen. They were all alone, and the most they could enter was in groups of two or three.
"You guys are being too overbearing.
You want to claim the Godlight Tunnel? Aren't you afraid of angering all the spirits and creatures in the world? "A lone spirit, who couldn't enter the Godlight Tunnel, said in a cold voice.
"You don't like it?
If you don't like it, come and try my Lionheart Stamp. If you can withstand my stamp, I'll let you in. "Little Jade Lion didn't care. He summoned a Lionheart Stamp geno core.
Seeing the Lionheart Stamp geno core, Han Sen frowned. It wasn't Little Jade Lion's self geno core. The power was scary, and it was clearly a super geno core.
Han Sen now understood. Although people with super self geno cores couldn't enter, they could bring in super geno cores that weren't their self geno cores.
It wasn't just Little Jade Lion. Goddess and Yu Miao had super geno cores, too.
