Chapter 1335

"He must be making a mockery of me," Han Sen ultimately thought to himself, following the strange encounter with God's Retribution .
He made it sound as if he was doing it for the children, but Han Sen thought it was a ploy of some sort . He thought he had been lied to, and that there was an ulterior motive behind his words of concern .
He thought he was being a hypocrite or a Pharisee; like a person that attends vegetarian rallies but still goes home and enjoys a good steak .
He had been told that Blood Legion didn't want others to kill super creatures, as it would upset the balance . But Han Sen knew they must have had to kill a lot of super creatures themselves to maintain the strength their members had achieved .
What they were doing was pretty much what Han Sen himself did, he thought . Han Sen was never entirely truthful about how he went about things, but at the end of the day, much of what he did was for the betterment of mankind . He was still leaving things in good shape for others, who would one day carry the mantles he himself established . He was paving the way for others, whereas Blood Legion were only concerned with themselves .
It was true, Han Sen hadn't thought about the long-term, negative effects and what things might be like for the next few generations, but it wasn't as if Blood Legion had the concerns of such eventualities at heart, either .
Blood Legion was different, too . Their lineage and the strengthening of their next of kin was different than how ordinary born and bred humans were reproduced . Having an heir was a priority and chief concern for the members of Blood Legion . God's Retribution had tried to disillusion Han Sen .
"They make themselves sound so righteous, but deep down, they're as dastardly and wicked as can be," Han Sen thought to himself .

While God's Retribution might have had his own interests at heart, some of the things he mentioned really would become legitimate concerns in the future . If Han Sen did kill creatures at a rate quicker than they could reproduce, things really would be a struggle further down the line . The flesh of creatures was needed, and if there weren't any creatures left to eat, things would be dire .
Han Sen rubbed the temples of his head in thought, over the state of things . He still wanted his primary focus to rest on bringing the Third God's Sanctuary to its knees .
He needed to save humanity and allow his mother and Ji Yanran to enter the Third God's Sanctuary without worry . But to do that, he had to ensure he could do so without killing too much of the local population . He couldn't mass-murder creatures as he saw fit .
If humans became the majority, that would be quite worrisome . It truly was like an invasion, now that Han Sen thought about it . In the little time they had access to the sanctuaries, they had done a lot .
Even Han Sen was willing to admit humans were greedy, he himself included . Some were greedier than others, but it was an inherent trait of mankind that humans were greedy things that always wanted more .
During the Interstellar Era, everything was a resource and every resource was wanted . And the spending of resources always outpaced the influx of resources, too .
With a desire for ownership of worthless items, silly hobbies and such, a lot of resources were wasted . The resources taken didn't all go to the long-term betterment of mankind .

And it seemed ironic to think the more civilized humans became, the more waste would be produced . Civilization seemed to equal lavish expenditure that only came at the cost of the planets that were ravaged for the necessary components to feed and keep the flames stoked . Han Sen thought man had become so in love with greed, they had forgotten themselves and found only appetites .
Back in the Alliance, Han Sen turned off his phone and had a meal with his mother .
If Han Sen turned it on, it'd undoubtedly be ringing 24/7 . And the buzz of constant messages and notifications would shake the foundations of the building .
When he defeated No God Emperor, all the factions wanted to co-operate with him . They all wanted to help Han Sen manage the shelters he had procured .
Of course, they cared more for themselves than they did for a genuine co-operative venture with Han Sen . They'd earn a lot for themselves by having joint-ownership of a number of shelters .
This also played a part in why Han Sen chose not to return to the Alliance for quite a while . He knew he'd be hounded by fatcats and corporate jellyfish day and night, all so they could line their own pockets with further unnecessary amounts of cash .
Han Sen was going to just let the Ji family handle the issue and save himself the trouble .
Ji Ruozhen had even come to tell Han Sen, "You have to let some of them go . "

The Ji family did not want to take over the Third God's Sanctuary exclusively, as that would almost make them seem like a dictatorship . The sanctuary might then be viewed as a police state, forever under the watchful eyes of Big Brother Ruozhen . They'd be hated .
Ji Ruozhen wanted Han Sen to give many of them up for distribution amongst a number of different companies and corporations, as well as families . He would lose a lot of potential money that way, but he would earn a lot of friends, in return .
"It looks like I really can't take over the Third God's Sanctuary myself . It sounded like Godslayer Luo might have been able to, but it seems he conquered even less than I have," Han Sen thought to himself .
Han Sen didn't want to give up what he had earned, though, and he then said to himself, "Fine, if I can't claim ownership of more as Han Sen, then I'll just have to take them over with a different name . "
After a while, Han Sen stopped his ventures of expansion to focus on something else . He wanted to go off in search of geno treasures that could increase his self geno points . He needed to open his super king spirit's tenth gene lock, after all .
Ji Ruozhen, in the meantime, ran through his contacts, trying to determine the best partners he could co-operate with .
A month later, Han Sen had achieved a thousand self geno points and managed to open the tenth gene lock of super king spirit mode . It only increased the power of super king spirit mode across the board, and there were no new, special traits earned .
Super king spirit mode was very plain, but that was part of the attraction . It made you far stronger, and that was it; it was that simple .
The greatest benefit of it now, though, was that he could remain in this form forever . There was no longer an annoying timer he had to adhere to .
After opening his tenth gene lock, he decided to pay another visit to the spirit base . When Han Sen entered, though, he was unable to find any other islands .
Han Sen chalked it up to there not being many spirits with ten gene locks open, so as a result, there weren't going to be many to find there .
Han Sen drove his island around for a while and eventually saw another spirit .
He didn't reveal himself, though . Only seeing one, he just turned around and left .
After that, Han Sen returned to the sanctuary and went back to conquering lands and claiming territories alongside the spirits and creatures in his employ .
This news was relayed across the Alliance once more, making people even more hyped for the prospects of proper settlement in the Third God's Sanctuary . The spirits were all co-operating, and they no longer resisted . On the sly, though, they still pleaded for Undead Emperor to help them out and defeat Han Sen .
Before Sky Mountain, Undead Emperor began leading a grand host of spirits and creatures to bring an end to Han Sen's reign .
"Han Sen, will you fight me?" Undead Emperor asked, with a tone as chilling as a winter's grave .
"Of course I will . " Han Sen raced towards him, airborne .
