Before the creatures from Sacred reached the shelter, people came out to greet them. The leader was Night Empress.
Among the spirits and creatures behind her, Han Sen saw Lotus Empress, which made him happy.
"Lotus is so lucky. She found her mother after becoming a demi-god," Han Sen thought to himself.
"What brings you to Night Shelter again?" Night Empress frowned and looked at God-shi.
God-like looked at Night Empress and said, "It's about what happened before. If you are willing to help Sacred Shelter explore God's Ruin, you can name whatever price you want. As long as Sacred can afford it, we won't disappoint you."
God-like made it sound nice, but in fact, it wasn't what he meant. He was saying, "You can name whatever price you want, but don't go too far. We're from Sacred."
"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you. I'm too weak to mention this," Night Empress said with a poker face.
"My Empress, please think about it. If you help us, you are a friend of Sacred Shelter. If you are in trouble in the future, Sacred Shelter will help you," God-like continued.
"What if I don't help?" Night Empress's face turned cold.
"Becoming an enemy of Sacred is not a good choice." God-like sounded calm, but the threat in his voice was obvious.
"Sacred is so arrogant. If you are not a friend, then you are an enemy," Night Empress said coldly.
"What is your final decision?" God-like didn't argue. He just looked at Night Empress coldly and asked.
Night Empress frowned. Although she had become an empress, her foundation was still weak. She couldn't compare with Sacred Shelter, which had been in the Fourth God's Sanctuary for a long time.
Night Empress was angry, but she had to be careful. Even if she wasn't afraid, there were many creatures in the sanctuary that followed her. She loved her daughter, Lotus, too. If Sacred was determined to get rid of her, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Seeing that Night Empress was silent, God-like continued, "Empress, it's better to have more friends than more enemies, isn't it?
You only need to do us a small favor, and you will gain the eternal friendship of Sacred Shelter. Isn't that good for both of us? "
"Being friends with God's Domain isn't necessarily a good thing."
Suddenly, a voice came from not too far away. Both Night Shelter and Sacred Shelter froze, and they turned to look at the source of the voice.
A human man was walking towards them on the grass. Both sides were dazed. Lotus Empress and God-like screamed at the same time.
However, one of them called out Han Sen, while the other called out Sky Sword.
"Sister Xie Lian, long time no see. You're still as beautiful as before."
Han Sen then turned to Night Empress and said, "Han Sen greets you, Empress."
"It's rare that you've grown so much."
Night Empress recognized Han Sen, and when she looked at him, she realized she couldn't sense his lifeforce. He was mysterious, and she couldn't even begin to fathom what he was capable of.
"Sky Sword, this has nothing to do with you. I hope you won't interfere," God-like said to Han Sen with a frown.
In the past, God-like wouldn't have taken Han Sen seriously. However, Han Sen had come out of Outer Sky Shelter all by himself. Even God-like, who was born in Sacred Shelter and was a berserk super creature, didn't dare to underestimate Han Sen.
It didn't matter if he was a human or a creature, he had to be treated with respect. He had fought Outer Sky's king and fought his way out of Outer Sky Shelter.
"Lotus Empress is my sister, and Master Night Empress is my sister's mother. That makes her the same as my mother. Do you think this has anything to do with me?" Han Sen said calmly.
"Sky Sword, do you really want to be Sacred's enemy?"
God-like's face darkened. Although Han Sen was famous, God-like didn't want Sacred to give up on conquering God's Ruin because of him.
"I should be the one asking you that. Do you really want to be my enemy?" Han Sen asked calmly.
God-like's face kept changing. He stared at Han Sen, but he didn't say a word.
"Young master, why are you talking so much to him?
Just eat it. "The big dragon looked at Han Sen and spoke with a booming voice.
God-like waved his hand to stop the giant dragon from talking. He stared at Han Sen and said, "Sky Sword, since you insist on getting involved in this, why don't we make a gentleman's agreement? We'll fight fairly. If you lose, you'll leave immediately and swear you'll never interfere with Sacred's business. In the future, wherever Sacred is, you'll have to stay away."
"And if I win?" Han Sen looked at God-like and asked.
"If you win, we'll turn around and leave right away. We'll never set foot in Night Shelter again," God-like said calmly.
"Alright, it's a deal."
It wouldn't be hard for Han Sen to kill them, but killing them would only bring trouble to Night Shelter, Lotus, and the others.
God-like didn't waste time talking. He summoned a shield and held it in his hand as he said to Han Sen, "I heard you have a very powerful shield. Why don't you and I compete and see whose shield is stronger? Neither of us will dodge. We'll just meet each other's attacks with our shields. Whoever breaks the other's shield first will win. What do you think?"
God-clan made such a suggestion because they were in awe of Han Sen. After all, he was someone who had fought the master of Outer Sky and made it out of Outer Sky Shelter alive. Although they didn't know what had happened, God-clan didn't want to take too many risks.
"Sure," Han Sen agreed without hesitation and summoned his Overbearing Shield with Golden Pattern.
God-like's eyes flashed with joy when he heard Han Sen agree to his suggestion.
God-like was already a berserk super creature, and his geno core was this shield. In terms of defense, God-like believed his shield geno core could be in the top three.
His shield was called the Immortal Shield, and it had an indestructible ability. It had been through countless battles, big and small. Even a Great Emperor would find it difficult to break through the Immortal Shield.
Now that Han Sen had agreed so easily, God-like was overjoyed. He thought he had a 90% chance of winning.
Night Empress's face changed. She knew about God-like, so when she heard Han Sen agree, she quickly reminded him, "Han Sen, his shield is called Eternal Shield. It's twenty-eighth on the super geno core leaderboard. In terms of defense, it can be in the top three. You have to be careful."
