"Are you serious?"
Han Sen wondered if Ancient Devil was messing with him. He couldn't think of any other explanation for Ancient Devil's suicide.
Ancient Devil looked like he was smiling, but he wasn't smiling. He looked at Han Sen and said, "Haven't you heard of the phrase 'die and you will be reborn'?
If you didn't die, how could you have dodged Super Space Slash? "
Han Sen had heard that phrase before, but he didn't know what it had to do with Super Space Slash. He had tried to break Super Space Slash to survive. What was the point of committing suicide?
Ancient Devil pointed at Han Sen and said, "Everything that happened in the past is like dying yesterday. Everything that happens in the future is like living today. If you are alive today, then what does it matter if you were dead yesterday?"
Han Sen didn't understand. He didn't know what Ancient Devil was talking about, but he knew he wouldn't get any answers. Unless he agreed to let Ancient Devil go, Ancient Devil wouldn't tell him how to break Super Space Slash. It was already good enough that Ancient Devil had given him so many hints.
After leaving Destiny's Tower, Han Sen kept thinking about what Ancient Devil had said. He couldn't figure it out.
"Suicide … die yesterday … live today … what does Ancient Devil mean?" Han Sen thought to himself for a long time, but he couldn't figure it out.
Suddenly, there was a ripple in the void, and two figures flew out from the mist, landing on the square of the palace complex in the blink of an eye.
"Exquisite and Li Keer are finally here."
Han Sen had a closer look. They were Exquisite and Li Keer, whom he hadn't seen since he had been trapped in the bottle world.
Seeing the two of them approach him, Han Sen didn't say anything. He knew Exquisite and Li Keer were only the younger members of the Very High. They didn't have much power among the Very High. Even if they wanted to let Han Sen go, they didn't have the power to do so.
"Your scales are gone?" Li Keer looked at Han Sen with surprise.
"Yes. I don't know why, but those scales disappeared on their own. Can you help me ask the Patriarch if I can leave now?" Han Sen said.
Exquisite and Li Keer looked at each other. They wanted to say something, but they didn't. In the end, Exquisite said, "The leader wants you to stay in the bottle."
"Do you mean to lock me up here for the rest of my life?" Han Sen frowned.
Li Keer said, "Don't worry. We will try our best to remove your suspicion and set you free."
"There are no more scales on my body. Does this not wash away the suspicion?" Han Sen originally did not have much hope for this, but he was still a little disappointed.
Linglong sighed and said, "If those scales were removed by the elders of my clan, naturally, they would be cleared of suspicion. But now that the scales have disappeared by themselves, I'm afraid that the clan leader and elders will not believe that the curse has been removed."
"So, I can only be trapped here?"
Han Sen calmed down. He didn't expect the Very High to let him go, anyway. He had to rely on himself.
Li Keer tried to comfort him. "We will do our best to help you. Just be patient for a while."
Han Sen wasn't a kid who had just started out. He knew she was just trying to comfort him. It wouldn't do him any good.
"If I can't get out for a while, can you give me some books to read?" Han Sen asked coldly.
"What books do you want to read?
In this situation, I don't think the clan will allow us to give you geno arts. "Li Keer was very direct. She said everything she should and shouldn't say.
"I don't want geno arts. Do you have any books about philosophy or theology? It would be best if they were about life and death." Han Sen hoped to find some inspiration from these books. He wanted to see if he could understand what Ancient Devil meant when he said he wanted to commit suicide.
"Let's think of a way to get them for you," Li Keer said.
"Thank you," Han Sen said with a smile.
"You are our silkworm. This is what we should …" Li Keer was halfway through her sentence, but she couldn't continue. Han Sen wasn't really their silkworm anymore.
But Han Sen's condition was better than they had expected. He talked to them like he usually did. He didn't look like someone who was going to be imprisoned forever.
Before they left, Exquisite said to Han Sen, "We will report the disappearance of your scales to the leader. Perhaps someone will come and check your body. But the chances of you being released are low. Don't expect too much."
"I understand." Han Sen nodded. He knew Exquisite didn't have the right to say anything about this. There wasn't much she could do.
Not long after the two of them left, a Very High true god elite came before Han Sen. He examined Han Sen's body and asked him a few questions.
Han Sen had already thought of a story. He told the elder everything he had prepared. Although it wasn't perfect, Han Sen made it sound like he didn't know anything. The Very High elder couldn't find fault with his story.
After the Very High elder left, no one came to visit him for a few days. Han Sen kept practicing the Sit and Forget Sutra. He didn't think the time was too long.
"I haven't seen Yanran and Ling 'er in a while. I wonder if Ling' er has grown taller. And I wonder how Littleflower is doing. Dad and Mom said they went on a trip. I wonder if they are back yet." Sometimes, Han Sen would think about his family.
"The Sit and Forget Sutra and my Under the Sky Knife are two extremes.
One is about being in the world, and the other is about being out of the world.
It is hard to combine them.
But I haven't practiced the Very High Sense.
I can only use Under the Sky Knife as a base.
If I start practicing from scratch, I don't know how long it will take me to learn the Sit and Forget Sutra." The more Han Sen practiced, the more confused he became.
The Sit and Forget Sutra and Under the Sky Knife came from the same source. But in theory, they were polar opposites. Even with the alpha's experience and mind, it was hard to combine them.
While Han Sen was feeling frustrated, another shadow appeared in the fog. It was an old Very High man that Han Sen wasn't familiar with.
The old man didn't speak. He placed something in front of Han Sen, turned around, and left.
Han Sen was shocked. He didn't know what the old man was up to. He took the item and saw that it was a mini computer. It was only the size of his hand.
Han Sen turned it on. He couldn't connect to the internet, but there were many e-books stored inside.
Han Sen realized that Li Keer and Exquisite must have helped him get it.
Han Sen flipped through it. There were only a few e-books inside. They were all books about theology and philosophy. There was nothing about geno arts.
Han Sen didn't expect there to be a geno art in there. He opened the books and read a few of them. With the evolution of his brain, it wasn't difficult for him to memorize a book with a million words. He only needed to read it once to remember every word. Whether or not he could understand it correctly, though, was another matter altogether.
"Flush Real Sutra?" When Han Sen saw one of the books, he was shocked.
