Chapter 2574: 2574
Han Sen returned to his home in the Alliance . He wanted to test Glasses on his daughter Han Ling’er and see how much potential she had . Soon after trying, though, he was forced to acknowledge that you could never tell how much potential a human had . It would always say the genes of a human were unstable and unable to be determined .
The creatures could have their potential and blood calculated, though . The results were promising, and some of them had a five-star gene potential .
Because they hadn’t reached deified class, though, five stars were the highest their potentials could go . After becoming deified, their gene potentials could be tested again, and thus the tests at that time would be more accurate . It was like there was a distinction between those who were deified and those who weren’t .
“No wonder the elites didn’t want me before . Now it makes sense . Are the genes of humans really that unstable?” Han Sen wondered .
“Daddy… hug hug…” Ling’er was able to talk pretty well . She reached out her pale little hands as she ran to Han Sen .
“My little baby, let daddy kiss you . ” Han Sen lifted Ling’er and kissed her on the cheeks .
When he wasn’t trapped, Han Sen came back every day to rest . He had been trapped inside the core area for many days, though, and so he hadn’t seen his family .
Ling’er was a good kid, and she didn’t cry much . The family did a good job of protecting her, as well . After she was born, she hadn’t used her super god spirit again . That came as a relief to Han Sen .
Small kids and too much power was a bad combination . Ling’er hadn’t yet learned how strong her powers were, and so she hadn’t yet learned how to harness them . If her mood spiraled out of control, it would be a dangerous and frightening thing .
Luckily, Ling’er had a very calm personality, and the family was able to take care of her . So, nothing had gone wrong in his time away .
Han Sen hoped Ling’er would be able to grow up like an ordinary child . He wanted her to have a normal childhood . The last thing he wanted was for her to reach the complexities of adulthood too soon .
He rested at home for the night . The next day, he gathered a few cases of wine and took it to the core area . Now that the small Crocodile God had allowed him to leave, that meant it was likely he would be able to leave again in the future . Han Sen wasn’t in a rush to get out of there, anyway . He wanted to spend more time digging and see what else there was to find in the fortress .
Han Sen returned to the core area . When he arrived, the little Crocodile God ran frantically over to Han Sen . It roared at him repeatedly, its tone strange and wandering . Perhaps the crocodile was complaining about him being too slow .
“I was looking for that wine for you . I needed some time, as this stuff is very precious . ” Han Sen opened a barrel of wine, allowing the intoxicating fragrance to suffuse the area .
The small crocodile’s eyes brightened . It stopped whining at Han Sen and jumped straight into the barrel of wine .
Huge plumes of steam came from the wine barrel, and a second later, the wine was all dry . The small Crocodile God jumped out . Before Han Sen could open up the next barrel, the Crocodile God was already jumping inside .
Han Sen soon realized that the Crocodile God didn’t want to use the wine for drinking . The crocodile wanted to bathe in it .

“I have heard of women enjoying baths of milk, but I’ve never heard of a crocodile wanting to bathe in wine . ” Han Sen couldn’t help but smile as he watched the enthusiastic little creature . The crocodile’s scales were very hot, and although it had already tried to cool itself down, the wine was vaporized almost as soon as it entered the barrels . It was unable to take its time and swim around in the barrel’s contents .
In no time at all, it went through a few barrels of wine . The small Crocodile God came out of the last barrel and roared softly at Han Sen . It seemed as if it wanted more . He wanted Han Sen to return and collect more wine for it .
“This is a very rare treasure . It took me a while to gather these few barrels, so if you want more, you will have to wait a long time,” Han Sen said .
Han Sen had many barrels of wine in storage, and he could easily buy a few vineyards . He couldn’t spoil the small Crocodile God, though . He had to plan for the long term .
Han Sen brought two or three barrels for the crocodile each day . It was enough to keep the small creature happy, but it wasn’t enough to keep it satisfied .
Now, Han Sen no longer had to work . The small crocodile wanted him to just bring it wine, but Han Sen still stuck to his cleaning duties . That was because he could dig wherever he wanted without the explicit command or direction of the little Crocodile God .
Ever since he found Glasses, Han Sen hadn’t discovered anything useful . His lack of progress was frustrating . He worked in the fortress for a month, but he didn’t find anything else of interest . His Jadeskin reached the ninth tier, so he couldn’t level up anymore even if he continued to consume King xenogeneic genes .
Han Sen then focused on his Blood-Pulse Sutra, leaving The Story of Genes as the last to be leveled up .

Exquisite and Li Keer were so depressed . They could see Han Sen coming and going as if the place was his own backyard . They wanted to leave, too, but no matter how much they tried talking to the two Crocodile Gods, they weren’t permitted to go anywhere .
They tried to use the wine retrieval excuse, but the Crocodile God wasn’t interested in what they had to offer . This made them incredibly sad .
Han Sen didn’t know why the Crocodile Gods treated them differently, but everything was panning out perfectly for him . Han Sen actually thought it was convenient that the two of them were still trapped . If they got free, they might cause him problems of some sort .
“The Very High are nothing that special . They can’t even deal with a transmutation deified . They are worse than the Ancient God,” Han Sen thought to himself .
Actually, Han Sen only thought this because he hadn’t learned the nature of their strength . The power of the Very High didn’t lie purely in their combat abilities, and they had nearly limitless resources . If the Very High survived long enough, they could become butterflies with ease . That was better than most races .
Since he still wasn’t managing to dig up any worthwhile items, all Han Sen achieved was making the small Crocodile God an alcoholic . Han Sen kept giving it wine, but the creature never drank it . It used every barrel for bathing . It sickened Han Sen to see so much fine wine be wasted . No matter how rich he was, it hurt to see something so precious be poured down the drain .
Han Sen examined and excavated the whole fortress, but he didn’t find anything useful . He hadn’t even been able to find the body that the arm had been attached to . It seemed as if only the arm had been left behind .
“It looks like I need to find a way out of here . ” Han Sen wasn’t interested in delivering wine to the Crocodile Gods for the rest of eternity .

“Lady Exquisite, didn’t you say that your elders would come and save you? When are they going to come?” Han Sen found a chance to stop by and talk to Exquisite and Li Keer .
“I’m not sure . It could take two or three months, or it could take a couple of years,” Exquisite said .
“Why would it take them so long?” Han Sen was shocked .
Exquisite didn’t answer Han Sen’s question . Actually, the Very High had self-spells coded into their bodies . If they were in danger or injured, the self-spell would awaken . If they died, the self-spell would self-destruct, and people were sure to know something had happened to them .
But Exquisite and Li Keer were neither injured nor in danger . The self-spell wasn’t going to ring its alarm . If the Very High people didn’t hear anything from the self-spell, they’d have no clue that something had happened to the two women .
After a while, if Exquisite remained missing, the people of her race would notice her absence . They knew where she had gone, but it was hard to determine when they would notice her absence .
While the two women were wallowing in their depression, Han Sen set out a grilled goose to munch on . He ate it and drank, picking through a side of fruit as well . They wanted to eat some, too .
