Chapter 2443 Choices
“As far as the Extreme King are concerned, I brought you here to dig up the ruin of a god’s battleground . By doing so, I wanted you to fade from the vision of the royal children,” Miss Mirror said calmly . She was reclining on the bed where they had placed her . “This is the only reason your pretense of being Prince Sixteen has lasted this long . But now, this catastrophe with the statues has killed all my people and left you alive . I don’t think I will be able to buy you a lot of time . My brother will throw all his resources into investigating you, and you have nowhere to turn . The only thing we can do to keep you alive is to perform a sacrifice . Enter the holy temple to become a devotee . Once you gain the blessing of the Extreme King, your survival will be ensured . ”
“I’m going to the holy temple? What does that mean, exactly?” Han Sen frowned .
“The holy temple is where the Extreme King make sacrifices to their god . Every generation must have a sacrificed King . They offer themselves to the god and become a devotee . They serve the god inside the holy temple forever . ”
After pausing, Miss Mirror said, “Only someone with the blood of the Extreme King can earn the blessing of the god . Therefore, a crystallizer shouldn’t be capable of becoming a devotee . If you can, though, that will prove you really are Prince Sixteen . At that point, no one will be able to dispel your lie . Even if someone was suspicious, not even King Bai could randomly waltz in and do whatever he pleased . No one would be able to investigate you . ”
“So I’d be practically sentenced to life in jail?” Han Sen frowned .
“Which would you prefer: incarceration or death? Even if you left now, where would you go? Do you really think Yisha or Kong Fei can protect you? Let me tell you this now . This universe is big, but if it is confirmed that you killed Prince Sixteen, there is nowhere you can go to escape the wrath that will be set upon you . In order to survive, you would have to be stronger than the leagues of deifieds that belong to the Extreme King . And I will be one of them,” Miss Mirror said emotionlessly .
“Even if I want to go to the Extreme King’s holy temple, I don’t have the blood of the Extreme King . How would I even gain the approval of this god?” Han Sen said .

“It should be possible with the help of my Mirror Spirit Eye Ring . Plus, you do have the Original Water King Body that you got from Bai Yi . Getting the god’s approval shouldn’t be too difficult . ” Miss Mirror paused and said, “Furthermore, going to the holy temple isn’t entirely like being sent to jail . While you may not be able to exit the temple, you can still visit the core area . With the resources you earn in the core area, you can definitely become half-deified . ”
Miss Mirror then hesitated . After a while, she went on to say, “Also, there are benefits to becoming a devotee . Although you can never leave the holy temple, you will have the opportunity to bathe in the temple’s god light . Your genes will be strengthened, and you will have an easier time becoming deified . ”
“Is this my only chance of surviving?” Han Sen asked quietly .
“Unless you want a universe-wide APB issued by the Extreme King, yes . This is pretty much the only option . Once you become a devotee, the other royal children won’t be hostile to you . And so, you’ll have less trouble,” Miss Mirror said .
“Even if I wanted to try entering the temple, what are they going to do?” Han Sen pointed at Bao’er and the unconscious Wan’er, who were a little further away .
“The holy temple isn’t a place just anyone can go . Even the royal children must meet certain qualifications before they can become devotees . I can help you get qualified, but in regards to them, they will have to stay on Planet Water Zone . ” After pausing, Miss Mirror said, “The best thing for them is to disappear . Otherwise, they may face scrutiny and fall under investigation themselves . Through them, things could unravel . Of course, if you insist on them staying, I can think of a way or two to help them . ”
When Han Sen heard this, he frowned . Bao’er and Ning Yue could go back to Planet Eclipse . They had the little red bird to protect them, after all . But there was no way that Wan’er could leave Han Sen . If she woke up, she’d become a blonde timebomb .

Wan’er’s lifeforce was super weak right now . If she went on a rampage again, she would die . Han Sen wanted to ask her many things, so he needed her alive until he could talk to her .
“Let me think about it . ” Han Sen knew Miss Mirror would continue trying to convince him, so he continued on to say, “Do you think the statue of a thousand hands and a thousand eyes in Du God City and that prophetic screen are connected to the missing rock we first dug up?”
Han Sen had already gotten the full-scoop on the white-haired man from Bao’er and Ning Yue . But Bao’er claimed she didn’t know who he was .
“I don’t know . Everything in Du God City is a mystery, and everything we find seems to tie back to yet another myth . My brother will probably send someone else here to continue excavation efforts . I believe answers will one day come,” Miss Mirror said .
Han Sen went silent . As a King, he was simply too weak . If he became deified, then he’d be qualified to fully explore Du God City . It was a very scary place, and he was just too weak to be there in his current state .
“Make a decision soon . You are running out of time,” Miss Mirror said . Then, she stopped talking .
She was trying to convince Han Sen—not because Han Sen had the Mirror Spirit Ring—but because he had selected to let her live after their fight in the cave . He had the chance to kill her, but he showed her mercy . And on top of that, he saved her from Red Cloud . Otherwise, she never would have done all this for Han Sen .

Helping Han Sen enter the holy temple as a devotee would break basically every law that her people had . Plus, she was the investigator King Bai had specifically chosen to examine Han Sen .
“Thanks . ” Han Sen walked over to Wan’er . He looked down at the girl, wondering what he should do with her .
Going to the holy temple was clearly the safest choice, but that meant he would be giving up on the girl’s secrets . Maybe Wan’er would wake up before backup arrived?
Wan’er seemed too weak for that, though . Han Sen tried many different tricks and powers to reinforce her lifeforce, or to get her to wake up, but nothing seemed to work .
Han Sen didn’t dare use more than a trickle of his power . He didn’t want to accidentally kill Wan’er . Her body was too weak, so using any significant force on her could be deadly .
“Ugh, this is giving me a headache . If I don’t enter the holy temple, I’ll have to go on the run . Then, it won’t just be the Extreme King after me . Any race related to the Extreme King or seeking their favor will be hunting me . Escaping on my own will be way too hard,” Han Sen thought with a frown .
If Han Sen escaped, he wouldn’t just be affecting himself . It would affect the lives of his friends on Planet Eclipse, and it might even blowback on Yisha .
“If I was to leave, would you help me?” Han Sen looked at Miss Mirror .
“I am an Extreme King,” Miss Mirror said icily .
Han Sen laughed and asked, “If I left now, would it affect Yisha?”
“That is a question you should ask Yisha . It would be her decision . ” Miss Mirror’s eyes flicked down . She seemed to know Han Sen’s true decision .
