"Did I fail again?"
Han Sen's face was pale, and his lifeforce was in a mess. His lifeforce was very low.
Han Sen had used all of his Dongxuan Sutra's power to push his cogwheel to King class. It shouldn't have been so difficult.
Dukes, who were much weaker than Han Sen, were able to complete the process and become King class. But Han Sen's fitness and power could fight most Kings. Even so, when he used the Dongxuan Sutra, Han Sen's self-universe cogwheel did not move.
Han Sen thought of the reason. The King area required one's universal cogwheel to drive the universal machine.
In theory, if one's power was strong enough, they could push their self-universe cogwheel and drive the universal cogwheels that were connected to it.
Han Sen's power was great, and he was the only Duke with such power. But his universal cogwheel was the biggest of all the Dukes.
Other Dukes' self-universe cogwheels might only be connected to one or two universal cogwheels, but Han Sen's universal cogwheel could be connected to hundreds or even thousands of universal cogwheels. The more connections there were, the more power he would need to use to push them.
Obviously, Han Sen's power was not enough to move his universal cogwheels. He couldn't push them, and that was why it was so difficult for him to become King class.
Han Sen tried to give up on the Dongxuan Sutra and use Jadeskin to become King class, but he quickly realized that his self-universe cogwheel was too strong. There were too many universal cogwheels connected to it. Jadeskin was as difficult as the Dongxuan Sutra to become King class.
The scariest thing was that the Dongxuan Sutra allowed him to see the universal cogwheels. When he used Jadeskin, he could only feel the rules. He couldn't even see the cogwheels. That was even more difficult.
"The Dongxuan Sutra. Only the Dongxuan Sutra can push my cogwheels. If the Dongxuan Sutra succeeds, Jadeskin will be easy. But how do I push the Dongxuan Sutra's cogwheels?" Han Sen thought hard, but he couldn't come up with a good idea.
Being too strong was a problem. Only Han Sen would have this problem. His body had evolved through four geno arts. Using any one of them to become King class wouldn't be enough to push his self-universe cogwheels.
But Han Sen only had one body. It was impossible for him to use four geno arts at the same time. Leveling up would be impossible. If he did, his body would be destroyed by the conflict between his veins and his presence.
"Fortunately, I have only practiced four geno arts. If I had practiced more, I wouldn't have been able to reach King class. I wouldn't have been able to push my self-universe cogwheels." Han Sen tried to comfort himself with this.
"If I rely on my own power, I won't be able to succeed. So, I'll have to rely on others.
Leveling up to King class is a very important process. If I lose control, I won't just fail. I'm afraid my body will be destroyed. "Han Sen was silent for a long time, but he still couldn't come to a decision.
"I need to find a reliable source of power. It has to be stable and explosive. If that's the case, I'll have to ask a deified elite to help me.
But which deified elite would be willing to sacrifice themselves to help me?
Who can I trust? "Han Sen thought for a moment. He couldn't even find a single deified elite he could trust.
Of all the deified elites that Han Sen knew, the one he trusted the most was the little red bird. But the little red bird's power was too explosive, and its control wasn't good. It wasn't suited for such delicate tasks.
Of all the deified elites that could do this, Han Sen thought for a moment. The one he trusted the most was Yisha.
Yisha was still his enemy. Even Han Sen was shocked by the thought of it.
But when he thought about it again, aside from Yisha, he couldn't think of another deified elite that he could rely on.
"But Yisha is far away in Narrow Moon. She can't help me, and I can't leave King's Kingdom." Han Sen had a wry smile.
"If I can't ask for help, then I'll have to borrow power." Han Sen's eyes flashed.
Han Sen was good at using Yin Yang Blast to borrow power. If he had a strong, stable power that he could borrow, he could push the self-universe cogwheel.
But doing that would be like dancing on a knife's edge. If he made a mistake, he'd be crushed.
Han Sen needed to borrow more power than he could use to push the self-universe cogwheels. That required a lot of precision. He needed to control power that did not belong to him. If he made even the slightest mistake, the result would be tragic.
"My head hurts."
The more Han Sen thought about it, the more his head hurt. He rubbed his temples, unable to make up his mind.
"My Prince, Tenth Princess Bai Ling Shuang wishes to see you," Lilly announced outside the door.
"Why is she here?"
Han Sen frowned. The Extreme King had been investigating Mad Sword, and to avoid unnecessary trouble, Han Sen hadn't gone to Bai Ling Shuang to collect the remaining fifty King class xenogeneic genes. He hadn't expected her to come.
When Han Sen went to the living room, he saw Bai Ling Shuang sitting there, drinking tea. She looked very relaxed.
"Tenth Royal Sister, how come you have time to visit me?"
Han Sen sat down in a chair next to Bai Ling Shuang. He didn't try to be polite with her.
"Of course, I am here to give you something as promised."
Bai Ling Shuang raised her hand. The two maids behind her brought in a big box and placed it in front of Han Sen.
"Brother Sixteen, count it carefully. There are fifty King class xenogeneic genes inside. Not one more, not one less," Bai Ling Shuang said with a smile.
"Tenth Sister, you could have just told me. I could have gotten them myself. You didn't have to come all the way here." Han Sen smiled and opened the box to count. There were fifty King class xenogeneic genes inside.
"Big Sister is here. I have a big deal to make with you." Bai Ling Shuang waved her hand and ordered the maids to leave.
When Han Sen saw Bai Ling Shuang like this, he asked Lilly to leave the hall as well. Now, only the two of them were left in the hall.
"According to a reliable source, this year's exam won't continue. It will be based on Rot Bone Mountain's ranking. Brother Sixteen, you might be first in the exam.
Aside from a deified treasure, you can also gain access to Destiny's Tower. Are you interested in selling that access? "Bai Ling Shuang asked, looking at Han Sen with her pretty eyes.
"Is that true?"
Han Sen was happy. If he could get the right to enter Destiny's Tower, that would be great.
