Han Sen followed the woman to the spirit hall of the shelter, and she sat down on the throne there . Han Sen looked around him and saw that there were no other chairs . So, he stood .
Not long after, Han Sen saw a number of powerful spirits enter the hall . Every spirit that walked in had a lifeforce equivalent to that of the red cricket . That meant the entrants of the hall were at least king-class in caliber .
But they were all clad in grey cloaks, obscuring their faces .
When the spirits arrived, all of them bowed before the woman . And politely, they all bid her, "Greetings, My Master . " Then they split up and stood at both ends of the hall .
Not long after, both sides of the hall were skirted with a large number of these spirits . There were twenty-to-thirty king class spirits .
Han Sen was shocked seeing them, as they all appeared to be of the same visual distinction . Han Sen's senses told him that their bodies and energy were all very similar . It could have been a family of spirits, for all he knew, like the Dark Spirit tribe .
"Maybe she really isn't human? Otherwise, how does she rule and preside over such a large and powerful family?" Han Sen thought this entire scenario was strange . But still, despite repeated readings of the woman, she still seemed human to him .
The twenty-to-thirty king spirits all turned to look at Han Sen, then . It was obvious they thought his presence there was strange .
Fortunately, Han Sen had been in similar situations in the past . The king spirits were all very strong, but they didn't scare him . He continued to stand where he was unfazed .

Bao'er looked around in curiosity . If Han Sen didn't hold her tight, she'd squirm free and head for the spirit statue .
"Is everyone present?" the woman asked, scanning the lines of spirits .
"Master, aside from Ghost Moon, all are present . " A spirit to her left politely informed her .
"Why is Ghost Moon absent?" the woman asked with a frown .
The spirit said, "You asked us to borrow something from Outer Sky . I sent Ghost Moon there . "
The woman nodded and responded, "Then there is no need to wait for her . I have something to announce . From now on, he is our Priest of Elysium Shelter . "
When the woman said this, all the spirits around looked shocked .
"Master, we can't do that! The priest has always been chosen from within our tribe . How can you allow an outsider to accept such a distinguished role?"
"Master, I see a bronze light in him . He is a creature with a bronze geno core . How can he be our priest?"

The entire spirit hall was kicked into a frenzy as the spirits all begged and pleaded for their mistress to recall her decree . They all went down on the floor, too, to underline their sincerity . Only Han Sen remained on his feet .
Han Sen was frozen, and he didn't even know what the role of priest would mean . And while it sounded like something of power and import, he wasn't planning on sticking around this place .
But, quite obviously, whether he became a priest or not wasn't Han Sen's call to make, so he decided to remain quiet and just watch . He was going to see how things unfolded first .
"Master, Ghost Moon is a far better candidate than this creature . She is a much greater choice," the spirit to her left said .
"There is nothing for any of you to say . My mind on this matter is settled . Return at once . " The woman cared little for their pleading, and she gestured with her hand for them to leave her be .
After that, the spirits turned to leave . They looked awfully upset, but they did not dare disrespect the mistress they had pledged allegiance to . Their eyes swept across Han Sen in simmering anger .
When the king spirits had all vacated the hall, and the door was shut, Han Sen bore a wry smile . "I'm just a human with a bronze geno core . I don't think I can do much for you . Why not just select a strong one of them to be your priest?"
The woman coldly said, "I have my reasons for selecting you . Just play your part . "
"I'm afraid of being too weak to accomplish that which you desire of me . " Han Sen looked bitter .

The woman suddenly smiled . She actually looked quite beautiful, and it stilled Han Sen's heart instantly .
"Well, perhaps you need some motivation . If you do perform poorly, I will have your head . " The woman said this with that same smile .
"I didn't say I could do this . But you're forcing me to commit to all this, and now you're threatening to cut my head off if I fail . It's not fair . " Han Sen tried to debate with her .
"It's not fair because I am stronger than you . That's a good enough reason for you to do anything I tell you," the woman said .
"Fine!" Han Sen said no more, and he was willing to accept his role as the priest, given the circumstances .
"At least tell me what this role requires of me, first . If it's for me to go out and kill super creatures, then I can't help you there," Han Sen said .
The woman smiled, "We don't need you to kill super creatures . The Priest of Elysium Shelter only has one task, and it should be easy . " The woman then turned to look at Bao'er on Han Sen's shoulder .
"And what would that be?" Han Sen did not want to talk .
"It's to teach and take care of Elysium's holy child," the woman said, slowly .
"Elysium's child? Is that your son? How old is he?" Han Sen's mind was hit with a barrage of questions he wanted answers for .
The woman looked straight at him . "I just told you . It's Elysium's child . The spirits you saw were all children of the Elysium family . You must teach their latest . "
"But I'm not a teacher, and I've never taught anyone anything . And I most certainly haven't taught spirits . " Han Sen didn't think this was a good mission to be given .
The spirits did not want him to be the priest, and they already hated him . Even if they did accept him in the role, it wasn't as if Han Sen wanted this task .
"Again, I'll cut your head off if you fail to be a decent teacher . " The woman reinstated her threat, and it was as effective as it had been the first time .
There was nothing Han Sen could say . He couldn't decline . He simply followed the woman out of the hall until he was told to enter a building located in the garden .
"You will teach him in this garden . Remember what will happen if you fail," the woman said coldly .
"Where is he? Let me see him . " There was nothing else Han Sen could do, so he had to roll his sleeves up and get to teaching as well as he could, as soon as he could .
"The holy child is here," the woman said, looking across the garden .
Han Sen looked in the same direction . His eyes opened wide in disbelief as he said, "He is the holy child?"
