CHAPTER 436: Suddenly Realising It Had Been Three Years

Beneath the depths of the Dead Sea in the netherworld, Han Shuo suddenly fell silent, his body turning still and not moving at all. It was as if he had fallen into a deep sleep with no signs of life.

Little Skeleton stared at the motionless Han Shuo standing on top of Bone Devil's body. At this moment, he had no idea what to do. However, he could sense the strong presence of Han Shuo's consciousness, which he understood meant that Han Shuo was still alive.

"Master, what's going on?" Bone Demon asked Little Skeleton.

Bone Demon, who had been forged by Little Skeleton from tough and durable skeletal remains, had followed Little Skeleton for a very long time. It was afraid of Little Skeleton's formidable strength. He understood that Little Skeleton might not yet be the most terrifying being in the netherworld, but he also knew that Little Skeleton's strength would continue to grow, and he would become stronger and stronger. He would defeat more and more powerful creatures.

However, Bone Demon's master also has a mysterious father. Since Han Shuo was from another plane of existence, the Bone Demon was extremely curious about him. He couldn't understand how a powerful being like Little Skeleton could have Han Shuo as his father.

"That's not something you should ask!" Little Skeleton replied. He circled a few times around Han Shuo who was on Bone Demon's body while looking up and down at the motionless Han Shuo. He seemed to be studying what on earth Han Shuo was doing.

After a while, Little Skeleton patted Bone Devil and instructed, "Alright. Just take care of him for now. You don't need to worry about anything else."

"I will, Master!"

In the netherworld, which has no concept of time, after an unknown amount of time, Han Shuo's consciousness moved and his soul travelled through a space-time wormhole, immediately arriving at the Cemetery of Death in the Profound Continent. But he was still sitting upright, motionless.

Although his body was motionless, the consciousness and demonic yuan in his body were churning wildly. The tremendous energy stored in his body was continuously condensing where his demon infant was. As the demonic yuan continued to condense, the demon infant became more and more distinct. It was as if a magical brush was slowly painting a beautiful picture. Even its pores and fine hairs were clearly visible.

After a long time, the demonic yuan in Han Shuo's body was being condensed by the demon infant. The speed at which it circulated in his body was similar to that of lightning. The smallest details of Han Shuo's demon infant became even sharper and more pronounced.

As Han Shuo had become enlightened, the consciousness and demon infant within his body began to transform silently. Breaking through to the next realm would mean a dramatic increase in power for Han Shuo, which would mean that he would be able to process even more remarkable abilities, meaning that Han Shuo would be able to realise even more of his wishes...... .....

After a really really long time, Han Shuo awoke from his deep meditative state. A pair of abstruse eyes sparkled with dazzling light. Whenever he focused his attention and stared at something, his eyes seemed to flow with electric current. People would involuntarily feel a palpitating pressure.

Compared to the last time, Han Shuo's body had not undergone many changes. Only Han Shuo himself understood where these changes came from. Without having to rely on his mystical demons to monitor the surroundings, with his consciousness alone, nothing within a radius of a few meters around him could escape his observation. The connection between Han Shuo and Gilbert became ten times clearer. Han Shuo could also clearly sense that Little Skeleton was pleasantly surprised even though he was in another dimension. In an instant, Han Shuo discovered that his consciousness felt completely different from before. He joyfully appreciated the extremely new and strange sensation.

Han Shuo was happy to find that his body was no longer the same. Now that he had entered the Carnal Realm, all sorts of desires rose from the innermost part of his heart, as if urging him to quickly fulfil his desires and release those desires that had been buried deep in his heart for many years.

Again, Han Shuo spent some time adjusting to the new state of his body. And only after he had succeeded in practising a few secret demonic cultivations did he finally open the gates to the Cemetery of Death so that the Dark Dragon Gilbert could enter.

"Master! My great master, you have not summoned me for three years!" As soon as Black Dragon Gilbert entered the cemetery, he shouted loudly at Han Shuo.

"What?! Three years?!!" Han Shuo was greatly shocked and shouted lightly.

"That's right. In fact, it has been exactly three years and four months. Counting from the day you said you would start practising until today, it has been three full years and four months. During that time you never once contacted me. I couldn't even sense your existence. Honourable Master, what kind of martial arts were you practising? How could it be that it felt like you had vanished from this world and even I couldn't feel your presence?" Gilbert asked Han Shuo in astonishment.

Three years and four months! Han Shuo was stunned by the length of time. He never thought that he had spent such a damned long time on this secluded training.

Han Shuo himself felt as if it had only been a few months and had never expected time to pass so quickly. Entering the Demon Stupor and the moment of enlightenment upon entering the Carnal Realm, it was during these two periods that Han Shuo could not feel the slightest bit of time passing.

What was certain, however, was that it was during these two periods that he'd spent the most time. Three years and four months of time was like the snap of a finger to Han Shuo. He didn't feel that there was anything unusual about it, but he knew what it had meant to a normal person.

"Gilbert, how are you getting along these three years?" Han Shuo hastily asked the Dark Dragon.

"Rest assured, we have been doing very well. At present, the Valley of Sunshine has already fallen under the control of our Soul Destroyer mercenary band. Laureton of the Cairo mercenaries had been killed by Trunks, some of their members had defected to our mercenaries, and a group of berserkers had left the Valley of Sunshine for good.

The House of Menlo and the Rainbow Sickle mercenaries were also crushed by us. Only the orc tribe and a few small tribes survived outside the Valley of Sunshine. However, the orc chieftain Katar had also pledged his allegiance to Trunks. At the present time, Trunks is the one who maintains order in the Valley.

Around the Valley of Sunshine, Janet's band of bandits had the most influence. With the existence of Janet's Bandit Group, the merchants in the Valley of Sunshine would rely on Trunks even more, and our business would grow bigger and bigger. Today, Trunks and Janet are secretly planning and preparing to deal with the Grand Duke of the Kasi Empire," Dark Dragon Gilbert explained to Han Shuo.

After Dark Dragon Gilbert's explanation, Han Shuo was pleasantly surprised at first. However, after a moment's thought, he felt that the rate of development of Trunks' Soul Destroyer mercenaries was somewhat unimaginable. He couldn't help but furrow his brow and asked, "Originally, Laureton's Cairo Mercenary Band alone was at least as rich and powerful as the Soul Destroyer Mercenary Band. On top of that, there was the House of Menlo and the Rainbow Sickle mercenaries. How could Trunks take control of the Valley of Sunshine so quickly?"

"Oh, there are many reasons. All I know is that Miss Phoebe invested a lot of gold coins in the Soul Destroyer mercenaries. In addition, Brettel City had previously sent people to help Trunks at crucial moments. Also, that Dark Grand Magus from Calamity Church always helped us in the dark without asking our permission. Emily also provided a lot of information. And thanks to your triumph over the Sacred Knight of the Church of Light, countless mercenaries with non-ordinary abilities have joined us. Regardless of timing or geography, the Soul Destroyer mercenary group was dealt a favourable hand. Trunks was also a leader with brains and courage. He took control of the Valley of Sunshine in just three years."

After listening to his explanation, Han Shuo suddenly realised that Trunks indeed had all the advantageous factors. On top of that, Trunks had gone through a near-death experience that had made him even more ruthless and unflinching. There was indeed a fair explanation for how he was able to wipe out every rival faction and power in the Valley of Sunshine in three years.

"Not bad. Trunks did well. Oh right, what's the current situation in the Lancelot Empire?" Han Shuo immediately asked about the current state of the Lancelot Empire after praising Trunks.

"Lawrence has become the new king of the Lancelot Empire. He's a fantastic king. Under his rule, the armed rebellion in the Lancelot Empire was quickly put down. Before any foreign nations could invade the Lancelot Empire, Lawrence stabilised the internal affairs and strengthened the military.

Oh, right, Lawrence was very attentive to the Brettel City. Now that Brettel City has its own magical transportation matrix, there is a constant flow of supplies into the city from various towns. The city also has many willing inhabitants. The war mad Dorcas was currently the hottest general in the Empire. For the past three years, Dorcas has been restless, constantly burning, killing and plundering the seven grand duchies. He has sought countless riches for the Brettel City.

He's the same as Firenze, a maniac for battle. There has never been a day when he has not raided the Seven Grand Duchies. However, this guy was exceptional in controlling the attack power. Even now, the seven grand duchies have no plans to unite and attack Brettel City. ....."

After listening to Gilbert's explanation, Han Shuo understood the current situation of the Lancelot Empire to a certain extent. From Black Dragon Gilbert's words, Han Shuo knew that all the people and forces who had allied with him had been placed in important positions thanks to Lawrence's political power. Lawrence deeply appreciated Han Shuo's existence. He did not treat Han Shuo's people unfairly because of his absence, but rather took great pains to include them.
