What is Equality?

Han Sen was shocked. He thought they might all be storming over to mob him, but they had actually all come to him for a blessing. That realization made him feel much safer.

If I didn't need the xenogeneic genes, I wouldn't have accepted Barr's offer. So, if you offer me two thousand, four thousand, or even five thousand now, I won't do it. I'm sorry if I have to disappoint you like this," Han Sen said, feeling bad about the words even as they came out of his mouth.

Although using the Blood-Pulse Sutra consumed a lot of energy, it wasn't half as bad as Han Sen made it sound. He only needed a day or two of rest. And in regards to shortening his lifespan, that was pure nonsense.
