Chapter 1853
1853 Wish
Sponsored Content
Han Sen did not like making wishes . He knew what had happened to Dawn, Uncle Bug, and the Ning family’s Second Mister, and it had completely soured him on the concept of making wishes .
Han Sen did not think Skygod was a good character .
Chiron Earl had made a wish, but he was killed alongside the rest of his helpers .
He did not know if Wind Viscount had made a wish, but he had died, too . And on top of that, he had infected the rest of Han Sen’s people back at base with the sacrificial marking .
Han Sen did not say anything . And there were only two wishes he could realistically make . One wish was to ask Skygod to erase everyone’s markings, but that was something that Skygod was suspiciously leading him to request . If he wasn’t leading Han Sen on, he wouldn’t have mentioned the possibility in the first place .
Han Sen did not think he was any more important than Wood Duke . But Skygod had spoken a lot more to Han Sen, and so it was fairly obvious that Skygod wanted something from him .
Han Sen couldn’t make this wish . Even if everyone did get their markings removed, the egg was still around . The infection, in some way, would go on . And on top of that, Han Sen only had one Raven feather .
He could also wish for the Raven to be born without the need for a sacrifice .

According to what Skygod had told him, if the Raven was born, the markings would be useless . The people with them would not be hurt, and if anything, those who had been marked would only benefit .
But Han Sen couldn’t be sure this was the truth just because Skygod had said so . It might just be another way that Skygod was trying to deceive him .
If this was the truth, there was the whole matter of pondering what to do once the Raven was born . It required a grand sacrifice for its birth, so only the gods knew how much it would later require, as it grew up .
At least it wouldn’t have the ability to kill, presumably . But that couldn’t be known until it was born . It could actually be scarier once it was born than when it was in the egg .
Wishes like that seemed too dangerous to Han Sen . But the silver fox, Xie Qing King, and Gu Qingcheng possessed the mark . If he didn’t sort this out soon, everyone here could die .
“Make your wish . ” Sun Skygod’s voice boomed again, echoing across the hall .
Han Sen did not bring out the steel feather yet, though . He just asked, “Lord Skygod, is there anyone else like you, that can grant a wish through sacrifices?”
“This has nothing to do with your wish,” Sun Skygod said .

“It has nothing to do with my wish, but I had a few friends who made a wish to a so-called god . Their dreams might have come true, but ultimately, their lives all turned to misery . I am afraid of ending up like them . I don’t want to make a wish and find myself unable to enjoy it,” Han Sen said slowly .
“I am not that kind of god,” Sun Skygod said .
“So, you are saying there are other gods like you?” Han Sen’s eyes turned bright . He had been looking for that god for a long time, but he had never been able to pick up on a single lead . He hadn’t expected to find one here .
“You cannot compare those fake gods to someone like me,” Sun Skygod said in irritation .
Now Han Sen knew that other gods did exist . And now Han Sen wanted to know information concerning the gods Skygod knew, and whether one of them was the god that the Seventh Team had encountered .
Han Sen wished to ask something more, but Sun Skygod said, “I am going to rest . Give me your feather and make the wish now, or wait another thousand years . ”
“I appreciate the offer . I’ll think about it, and maybe I’ll make this wish in a thousand years,” Han Sen said, then tried to exit the purple-bronze palace .
When he had entered the palace, he stayed near the door . He didn’t enter too far, so he thought he could bolt outside quickly enough if something bad happened .

But now Han Sen noticed he had underestimated Skygod . As he tried to reach the door, the door suddenly looked so far away . He wouldn’t be able to reach it .
You are a little creature no greater than an ant . Where do you think you are? You cannot come and go so simply . Make your wish with your feather, or I will send you to hell . You will suffer for the rest of eternity, mark my words . ” Sun Skygod sounded a little peeved .
“I told you I have no wish to make,” Han Sen responded .
Then think about it, right here, right now . ” Sun Skygod coldly went on to say, “But hurry . You might end up dying before you are able to make a wish . ”
Han Sen frowned, not understanding what Skygod meant . But soon, he did .
Han Sen’s fingers and hair grew quickly . He began growing a long beard, as something else occurred to his skin .
Time has sped up!” Han Sen’s face changed .
Wood Duke and all the others were shocked . Controlling time really was something only a god could do .
Han Sen looked at his body . With the speed he was aging, his few-hundred-year lifespan would be over in a few hours .
“I am Skygod . I can do anything, if it is what I desire . ” Skygod sounded cold . It didn’t look as if he was showing off, though . This was something ordinary for him .
“In that case, why don’t you just take the feather . Why do I have to make a sacrifice?” Han Sen’s body was getting older, but he wasn’t panicking yet .
Han Sen had the powers of space and time himself . Although he wasn’t as strong as Skygod, Skygod couldn’t bluff him . When Han Sen spoke, Skygod went quiet and did not say anything more .
Han Sen’s body kept getting older . His hair had reached his feet, and the beard had reached the ground . He wanted to leave the hall, more than anything . But even at full-speed, he couldn’t reach the door . It was always one step away from him .
“Old Han, I am coming!” Xie Qing King shouted, wishing to barge into the hall . He did not care if there was a god inside or not .
Gu Qingcheng pulled out her sword named Pure . She readied herself to help Xie Qing King and Han Sen .
“Don’t come in! I know what to do . ” Han Sen’s shout prevented Xie Qing King from coming in .
