Because they were unable to nab the treasure inside, Six Paths and God’s Retribution also planned on leaving . Little Fairy did, too, despite her reluctance to abandon the treasure .

Just in case they got lost again, Han Sen allowed Starsea Beast to guide them back to where they had been before they encountered the flowers .
Starsea Beast went back through the glacier mountains, returning to where they came from, back when they first saw the God’s Corpse Bugs . Fortunately, there were no more of the creatures to be seen . Perhaps they returned to the ice .
“It’s safe now . I should go . Whoever gets the treasure, it’ll be done so through their own work . ” God’s Retribution quickly took his leave .
Han Sen thought it was suspicious he left . It made him wonder whether or not the man could practice the secret skill .
But that had to be impossible . Even if he was able to practice it, without Starsea Beast’s powers, it would be very difficult to return to the tower .
After all, Starsea Beast went there in a straight line . God’s Retribution would have to traverse many mountains if he did not have a creature like that . Walking back to the tower would take a very long time, provided he could even relocate it once again .
Six Paths also bid his departure . They usually preferred working alone, and they were never very fond of sharing treasure with others . Han Sen decided to let Starsea Beast rest for a while so it could recover its energy . Then, they resumed their journey to the Godlight Tunnel .
There were many strange places in God’s Ruin, but very few creatures . Aside from the God’s Corpse Bugs and the Ice Seahorses, they hadn’t seen anything else .

“There’s a rocky mountain up ahead . This has to be right . This is where the tunnel is!” Little Fairy, who was up front, began to shout excitedly .
Han Sen was sitting on Little Star’s back . He looked forward and saw a few grey mountains resting between two glaciers . It looked to be where the tunnel was said to reside .
Starsea Beast moved his legs quickly in a frantic rush to get there . But before they could reach that rocky mountain, they encountered many creatures .
Han Sen looked at them all closely, and that was when he froze . He had managed to catch sight of the angelic-looking woman and the cheap dog that was her pet .
As he continued to look around, Han Sen also caught sight of Yu Miao and Yu Xuan . It looked as if they had brought companions along with them, to keep them protected in their journey to God’s Ruin .
Much to his surprise, Han Sen saw another familiar face aside from Yu Miao and Goddess . It was Little Jade Lion King; the creature he had met in the geno core storage on more than one occasion .
They weren’t very strong, but the biggest problem was the sheer number of gemstone class creatures they had brought with them . They were all as strong as Goddess and Yu Miao herself .
The reactions and facial expressions of each of them were different when they saw Han Sen .

Yu Miao and Goddess frowned, not expecting to see him there . Little Jade Lion King didn’t think much of him, as he had yet to realize that Han Sen was the owner of Crystal Core .
“What are you doing here?” Yu Xuan asked Han Sen .
He thought Han Sen’s soul was damaged beyond repair, so he didn’t take the human seriously .
“I’m here for the Godlight Tunnel . I don’t see another reason why I’d have come . ” Han Sen squinted his eyes, examining each of the creatures around him .
They had a few dozen spirits and creatures following them . Han Sen calculated whether or not he could destroy them all and kill his favored targets: Goddess, the dog, Yu Miao, and Yu Xuan .
Goddess and her dog would his primary targets . They were both creatures, too; if they died, they died .
If Han Sen killed Yu Miao and Yu Xuan, they’d respawn . But murdering them would still feel good, even if it wasn’t permanent .
Han Sen looked at the creatures behind Goddess, and that was when he saw a familiar human face . It gave him a shock .

“Why is she here?” Han Sen saw Queen Huangfu Jing .
When he returned to the Alliance, he had learned Queen was a demi-god . But she herself never returned to the Alliance, so he wondered what might have happened to her .
He would never have guessed that Queen had ended up in Sacred Shelter with Goddess and was now accompanying her to God’s Ruin .
Queen recognized Han Sen, but she didn’t show any expression of it . Perhaps she didn’t want to cause any trouble by showing it .
Han Sen didn’t know if Queen was trapped by a contract or not, so he didn’t show he recognized her, either . He didn’t want them to hold her hostage and use her to threaten him .
Even more surprising, when he looked even further into the lot there, he saw someone else he recognized . It was Tang Zhenliu . He was standing behind a spirit that was behind Yu Miao .
They were both the same . They held their acknowledgments to avoid causing a scene, but they were definitely worried .
Yu Miao, having just been insulted by Han Sen, looked grim . He responded unpleasantly, “Do you think the Godlight Tunnel is a place just anyone can enter, if they so please? Outer Sky owns it now . Give me a gemstone geno core, if you want to enter . ”
Before Han Sen replied, Little Jade Lion said, “What do you mean the tunnel is owned by Outer Sky? This is ours! It belongs to Lion Mountain . ”
“What are you both talking about? Sacred is the true master of the Godlight Tunnel . Gods are sacred, and so are we!” The cheap dog next to Goddess muttered .
Now Han Sen knew why they were all stuck on the outside, with none having entered . That was because each of the three factions wanted to assert ownership and start a tollbooth .
Around the mountain, there were a number of other creatures and spirits watching . They didn’t belong to any renowned faction, just like Han Sen . Most seemed to have come in a party of three or so .
“You guys are so selfish . You want to claim the Godlight Tunnel for yourselves? Aren’t you afraid of offending the countless spirits and creatures that simply want access?” A lone spirit spoke in an annoyed tone, having been prohibited entry .
“If you don’t agree with me, then perhaps you’d like to taste my Lionheart Stamp? If you can withstand a stamping, I’ll let you in . ” Little Jade Lion was not afraid, and he went ahead to summon his Lionheart Stamp geno core .
Han Sen, when seeing the geno core, frowned . It was not his self geno core . It was very powerful, and it was definitely super class .
Now, Han Sen knew that anyone could bring a super geno core in, as long as it wasn’t their self geno core . You wouldn’t be allowed in if your self geno core was super .
It seemed that the lion wasn’t the only one playing by these rules, either . Goddess and Yu Miao must have brought supers of their own, too .
