Miss Mirror sat in front of her computer. She looked at the information on the screen, locked in deep thought.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
All the documents pertained to Han Sen. It was everything that had been recorded of him since the fight when Kong Fei had snuffed out and relit a lantern. It informed her of everything he did, all the way up until he disguised himself as Bai Yi. The records of it were all there.
âSuch a scary guy. These records make his life look like heâs playing with cheat codes. He has done way too many unbelievable things. It is difficult to imagine that a leftover crystallizer, starting from scratch, achieved all that he has today.â The investigation was very thorough. Miss Mirror had to admit that if she had been in the same situation as Han Sen, she wouldnât have been able to achieve half of what Han Sen had managed to.
âIt is a shame that he isnât really Bai Yi. Otherwise, with his performance amongst the Extreme King, he might have become a legendary figure for us.â Miss Mirror sighed. She turned off the computer and rubbed her temples.
She had been tired for a while. The person who had her Mirror Spirit Eye Ring was disguising himself as a prince. It made things rather difficult for her. She couldnât tell King Bai about it, but neither could she lie to him. And King Bai wasnât an easy man to fool. Lying to him might lead her down a path she could never return from.
âRadiowave should be investigating Han Sen. If they start uncovering his secrets too quickly, things might go badly for me. And if I had Han Sen over, Iâm afraid the Mirror Spirit Eye wonât be able to withstand the same dosage of damage again.â Miss Mirror was beginning to develop a headache.
Miss Mirror closed her eyes to think, but she couldnât figure out a solution that was perfect for her.
A subordinate knocked at her door. âMiss Mirror, the location of the seven-five-six-eight God Battle Ruin has been confirmed.â
âGive me the information.â Miss Mirror sat up straight, looking like a lady again.
The subordinate pushed open the door and set the documents down in front of her. Miss Mirror examined them for a while and frowned. She said, âAnother race has been found? At Ruin 7568?â
âYes, my lady. Our people found a big excavation site, and some construction zones started up not too long ago,â the subordinate explained.
âOkay, thatâs all for now.â Miss Mirror set the documents back down on the table. She closed her eyes and thought.
A while later, she opened her eyes. She glanced over the pages again, then finally smiled. She said out loud, âRuin 7568... If that is the one, perhaps I can convince my brother. I can take Han Sen there. This is an opportunity.â

For the first time in a while, things were going smoothly. Han Sen had the small furnace to show him the way, and he had collected many core xenogeneic genes. Now, he was holding four. He ate two and tossed the others to the furnace.
It wasnât because Han Sen was a waster. It was just because he couldnât digest them. Even with Consumeâs help, he could only eat two a day. If he wanted to gain one hundred King class genes, it would take more than a month.
Because the small furnace behaved well, Han Sen gave it a few core xenogeneic genes whenever he could. The small furnace was always delighted to receive them.
Swords from the Furnace required core xenogeneic genes for production. But core genes from different xenogeneics could create different swords inside the furnace.
âNo wonder that big furnace was so strong. All the swords it produced came from King xenogeneic genes. I canât even guess how many King class core xenogeneics it managed to kill in its time. Too bad the xenogeneic genes are melted down inside the furnace. If a furnace is destroyed, the swords are also destroyed. Otherwise, Iâd have received enough xenogeneic genes to last me many lives over,â Han Sen thought with regret.
The small furnace followed Han Sen and collected a few treats on the way. When Han Sen left the core area, it didnât run off. It waited for Han Sen to come back.
A few days later, the small furnace was forging a few sword blanks.
Han Sen thought this relaxed schedule would last for some time, but when Miss Mirror showed up, she destroyed his delusions of just enjoying life for a while.
âPack your stuff, you have a mission to go on,â Miss Mirror said before taking a sip of tea.
âWhat mission?â Han Sen asked with trepidation. Miss Mirror had asked him to pack, so that meant he was leaving Kingâs Kingdom.
âThis is your fatherâs handwriting. Is there a problem?â Miss Mirror asked, setting a note down on the table as she spoke.
âYes. Can I bring my subordinates with me?â Han Sen asked.
âI suppose you can, but are you sure about taking them someplace dangerous?â Miss Mirror looked like she was smiling, but she wasnât.
Han Sen knew Miss Mirror was referring to Baoâer. She was warning Han Sen not to attempt an escape. He wouldnât have a chance to.
âIf I can, I would like to bring Baoâer,â Han Sen said, pretending not to know what she meant.
âSure, but I have already told you; this place is dangerous. If something happens, donât blame your auntie for not warning you,â Miss Mirror said.
âI will be responsible for this decision,â Han Sen said tonelessly.
âGood. Go and prepare. We will be leaving tonight.â With that, Miss Mirror turned and promptly left Underwater Town.
Han Sen called for Baoâer. He left the Blood Kirin behind in Underwater Town to look after Lan Haixin, just in case she decided to stir up trouble.
Han Sen wasnât planning an escape. The Extreme King were too powerful. Unless he had a reliable backup plan, he wouldnât flee. He couldnât go back to Planet Eclipse, either. He didnât want to drag Yisha into his problematic affairs.
Han Sen wanted to bring Baoâer because he didnât feel safe leaving her alone. Plus, he was used to having Baoâer around. Whenever he was alone, it always felt like he was missing something.
He asked the Blood Kirin to watch Lan Haixin. Lilly begged Han Sen to take her with him, but he refused.
Miss Mirror had said that the place was dangerous, and Han Sen didnât think she told him that just to scare him. He was bringing Baoâer along because she could protect herself. Lilly was just a Duke. She would be unable to protect herself, and bringing her would be like handing her a death sentence.
He brought Baoâer to the rally point, knowing that they wouldnât be going alone. Many members of Spring Rain had already gathered. There were many Kings and half-deifieds, and Han Sen even saw two fully deified warriors amongst them.
âWhat are they doing here?â Han Sen wondered. This was enough combat power to annihilate a higher race.
When the ship started to move, Miss Mirror didnât come looking for him. Han Sen had free time, so he practiced and consumed King class genes.
Han Sen started trying to push Jadeskinâs self-universe cogwheel. He wanted to get Jadeskin up to King class. That progress would be much easier than leveling up the Dongxuan Sutra. It would only be a matter of time.
The ship flew through many space teleportation points. When the ship arrived at their ultimate destination, Han Sen was shocked. He knew the place.
âIsnât this the xenogeneic space that Ning Yue mentioned?â Han Sen wondered.
