"Take the coral. We are going to see the leader now."
The Ninth Uncle stared at the blood coral in Han Sen's hands for a while. He looked serious as he spoke.
Both Han Sen and Exquisite were shocked. The Ninth Uncle's Very High Sense was very advanced, and it was very rare for him to have mood swings.
But now, he looked serious. He didn't say anything. He just wanted to take Han Sen to see the leader. This was a serious matter.
"Ninth Uncle, is Han Sen in danger?" Exquisite couldn't help but ask.
The Ninth Uncle nodded and said, "We will talk about it when we see the leader. This is a serious matter. If we don't deal with it properly, there will be a lot of trouble."
After that, the Ninth Uncle didn't wait for Exquisite and Han Sen to answer. He rolled up his sleeves and teleported away with Han Sen and Exquisite.
"Old Nine, what happened? Why are you in such a hurry? Why did you come here?"
The Very High Leader was resting in a rocking chair in a wooden building. He frowned when he saw the Ninth Uncle bring Han Sen and Exquisite to his wooden house.
"Leader, look at him." The Ninth Uncle didn't explain. He pointed at Han Sen and the blood coral.
The Very High Leader looked calm, but when he saw the blood coral and Han Sen's scales, his face changed. The leader of the race jumped up from his rocking chair. His eyes opened wide as he stared at Han Sen and the blood coral. He didn't even blink.
Now, Han Sen was sure that this was going to be a very troublesome affair. Even the Very High Leader was reacting so violently. Clearly, the severity of the situation was far greater than Han Sen had anticipated.
Han Sen wanted to ask, but the Ninth Uncle asked, "Leader, is this that thing?"
The Very High Leader nodded seriously. He was silent for a while. Then, with a strange expression, he said, "I did not expect it to come true."
"What should we do?"
Hearing Very High Leader's confirmation, Uncle Nine's face looked even worse. He looked at Han Sen and then looked at Very High Leader with a heavy heart.
"We must suppress him now," Very High Leader said without hesitation. "We cannot give him any chance."
"Lord Clan Leader, what is that thing on Han Sen's body?" Seeing that something was amiss, Exquisite could not help but ask.
Very High Leader and Uncle Nine looked at Han Sen at the same time. In the end, it was Very High Leader who said, "This all started back in the days of Sacred. Back then, the Very High were not as powerful as they are now. The Sky were not part of our race. The strongest race in the universe was Sacred. The strongest faction was Sacred."
After pausing, Very High Leader looked weird. He went on to say, "According to the secret records of our race, back in the day, our race was in trouble. We had to ask Sacred for help. Sacred sent an elite to Outer Sky to help us survive the disaster. For some reason, that elite from Sacred died in Buried Dragon Lake."
"Is my body's mutation related to that Sacred elite?" Han Sen asked.
Very High Leader nodded. "That elite sacrificed himself to help us survive a big disaster, but because of that, he was cursed by his enemy."
Han Sen's heart jumped. He frowned and asked, "If that elite is dead, what is the point of the curse?"
"Our ancestors thought it was over with the death of the Sacred elite. But now, it has appeared. You have scales. That means the curse did not end with the death of the Sacred elite." The Ninth Uncle pointed at the blood coral and the scales on Han Sen's body.
"What kind of curse is it?" Exquisite asked with worry.
The Very High Leader and the Ninth Uncle looked at each other. The Ninth Uncle sighed and said, "That scary existence cursed the Sacred elites to slaughter the universe after they were reborn. They would become monsters that only know how to kill."
"Our ancestors thought the Sacred elite could not be reborn.
They thought everything was over, but …" Very High Leader said.
He looked at the blood coral in Han Sen's hands.
He paused and said, "The blood coral in your hands is the same as the Sacred elite's geno armament.
The scales on your body are similar to his scales.
Perhaps the Sacred elite's power was reborn in you.
Perhaps that is the true meaning of the curse."
"Is there no way to remove the power in my body?" Han Sen felt as if things were getting worse.
Very High Leader and Uncle Nine shook their heads. Exquisite quickly said, "Mister Leader, with your power, is there anything in the universe you cannot do?
Please save Han Sen. "
Very High Leader sighed and said, "It is not that I do not want to save him. It is just that there is nothing I can do. The scary thing that cursed the Sacred elite was a real god. The Sacred elite fought the god. When the god was forced out, the evil curse was cast. It is not something we can remove with our power."
"The thing that cursed the Sacred elite was a god?" Han Sen's heart jumped.
Very High Leader said, "Maybe you do not believe there is a god in this universe, but gods do exist. It is just that ordinary creatures have a hard time seeing them."
"I believe there is a god. What is the god called?
What is the name of the Sacred elite that fought him? "Han Sen suppressed his excitement as he looked at Very High Leader.
"I don't know. The records of that fight are not very detailed. It seems as if many details have been purposely erased. We only know that the fight was called God's Disaster. We only know that the Sacred elite was called Dragon. There are not many other details that have been passed down."
Very High Elder looked at Han Sen and said, "If the Dragon's power is reborn in you, then we have to suppress you. I don't want you to become a murderous monster that destroys the universe like the curse says."
"The Dragon's power might not be reborn in Han Sen's body," Exquisite said.
"Maybe the rebirth refers to the Dragon itself. Didn't Han Sen say there was a monster's body under the coral forest?
Maybe that was the real Dragon that was reborn, "Exquisite quickly said.
Very High Leader nodded and said, "That coral forest and the body under it will be suppressed along with Han Sen."
Han Sen felt as if something bad was about to happen. The Very High wanted to suppress him like a monster.
"Mister Leader, I am just infected. I can still be saved," Very High Leader quickly said.
"There are many elites in the Very High. There must be a way to get rid of these little things on me." Han Sen quickly said.
"We will try our best, but if we do not succeed, we will have to suppress you to prevent any accidents from happening."
Very High Leader was very rational. He did things like a typical Very High. He was not emotional. He only chose the most efficient way to deal with a problem.
Han Sen knew that right now, he was like a patient with a very serious disease. The most logical and effective way to deal with him would have been to isolate him. Very High Leader had done the right thing.
But this was happening to him. Han Sen found it hard to accept. He was very upset.
