Han Sen learned a lot from the seventy-two original gene kill spells.
Suppress Evil was based on the seventy-two original gene kill spells. Han Sen used his Dongxuan Aura to study the original gene kill spells, and through this, his proficiency with Suppress Evil improved rapidly. He reached the eighth tier after just one year.
His progress was interrupted, however, when the elders gave him another mission. He was tasked with taking on a Marquise xenogeneic that was wreaking havoc on a business planet belonging to Sky Palace. The job was simple, and Han Sen killed the creature easily.
When he returned to Sky Palace, however, his phone rang. It was a call from the number that Xi Menxiaong had given him.
Han Sen had called the number before, but no one answered. It looked like Xi Menxiaong had given him the number so he could call Han Sen, and not for Han Sen to call him.
Han Sen answered. There was no video, only voice. Han Sen remained quiet as the person on the other end began to speak.
âHan Sen, it is me.â The voice was familiar, but it didnât belong to Xi Menxiaong. It was Godâs Retribution.
âGodâs Retribution?â Han Sen frowned. Now he was certain that Blood Legion had a method of leaving the sanctuaries. âYes. Listen, I do not have much time. Iâm being watched,â Godâs Retribution said.
âHow did you leave the sanctuaries?â Han Sen asked. Just hearing the voice wasnât enough for him to be sure that it was Godâs Retribution.
âBlood Legion has always had a way to leave. We just canât return.â Godâs Retribution went on to say, âBut now is not the time for that. Listen, do not let anyone know you have practiced the Blood-Pulse Sutra. If you do, you may find yourself in trouble.â
âWhy?â Han Sen asked.
âItâs complicated. Some guy in the geno universe is coming after Blood Legion members. Fortunately, you have not practiced the Blood-Pulse Sutra enough to have blue blood. Just donât tell anyone. If you donât, you wonât be found out,â Godâs Retribution said.
âWho has a feud with Blood Legion in the geno universe? Which higher race is it?â Han Sen asked.
âIt is not a higher race. It is something far worse.â Godâs Retribution hesitated for a moment, but he still went on to say, âYou know the creature that called itself a god? The one the seventh team encountered?â
Han Senâs heart jumped and he said, âThat guy is in the geno universe?â
âYes, but he didnât come here from the sanctuaries like we did. This universe is his home. Remember, donât let anyone know that youâve practiced the Blood-Pulse Sutra. If you do, youâll find yourself a target. And keep up the ruse that youâre a crystallizer. Donât mention to anyone that youâre actually a human. That will expose the fact that youâre from the sanctuaries. You did well to do that from the start,â Godâs Retribution said.
âWhat is he?â Han Sen asked.
âI donât know how to explain. All I can say is that he is scarier than a deified elite, and we cannot hope to fight him. Heâs killed many Blood Legion members. Until recently, weâve had no hope of fighting back,â Godâs Retribution said.
âWhatâs different now?â Han Sen asked.
âSuper genes,â Godâs Retribution said.
âWhat does that mean?â Those two words caught Han Senâs interest.
âOnly people who have maxed out their super genes in the sanctuaries can compete with a creature like him. That is our only hope. Until youâve grown stronger, do not expose the fact that you possess the Blood-Pulse Sutra.â Godâs Retribution was speaking quickly.
âIf you knew about all this, why didnât you tell me back in the sanctuaries?â Han Sen asked.
Godâs Retribution said, âI told you, we can only leave the sanctuaries. We are unable to return. I only learned about this from the other members upon arrival. Okay. Thereâs no time. Iâll contact you again.â
The conversation was disconnected abruptly. Han Sen put the phone away and thought to himself, âIf all of this is real, then who is this so-called god? Is he like King Jun? Can he not murder anyone here?â
Han Sen thought about this for quite a while, but he didnât come to any more conclusions. He hadnât planned on exposing his Blood-Pulse Sutra anyway, but after that reminder, he would make doubly sure not to. Whether or not Godâs Retribution was telling the truth, no harm would come from maintaining a low profile.
After thinking things over, Han Sen tried to call him back. Just like before, it did not work.
âBlood Legion members have been able to enter the geno universe for a very long time. Maybe Human Emperor is around here somewhere, but even so, humans have no fame. They must be hiding themselves away, under great pressure.â Han Sen looked grim as he continued talking to himself. âIs that god really that powerful, I wonder?â
After Han Sen reported the results of his quest to Sky Palace, he was granted some vacation days.
His Dongxuan Sutra and The Story of Genes still hadnât reached Marquise yet. The Dongxuan Sutra was slowly growing stronger, but The Story of Genes had come to a standstill. He wouldnât level that up unless he got some help.
Han Sen tried to use the Jade Spirits to boost The Story of Genes, but it wasnât very effective. Progress was insufferably slow. At that rate, it would take several decades to become a Marquise with The Story of Genes.
As Han Sen ransacked his mind for a solution to the problem, Thousand Feather Crane arrived with an order from Sky Palace.
The leader has told me to go to the Feather?â Han Sen looked at Thousand Feather Crane in disbelief.
The Sky Palace leader knew of the grudge that the Feathers had against Han Sen, given his connection with Kong Fei. There was also the Blood Feather Knife incident, which only fanned the flames of their hatred.
Yes. The leader wants you to be Sky Palaceâs envoy to the Feathers. This is good. Have you heard of Holy Heavenâs Pool of Rebirth? If you go there as an envoy, you can use it,â Thousand Feather Crane said.
You mean the pool Angia used to erase everything he had learned? I donât want to be reborn. Whatâs the point in that?â Han Sen frowned.
