Norton supported his head with his arm and slowly revealed a cold smile.

“King of the human race? What an arrogant t.i.tle. We need to give the Sacred Prince and the people of the Temple of Light an explanation. Bring your shadow stream people and capture him. If he insists on resisting…”

His hand made a gesture on his neck.

Below the stage, the person covered in shadows lowered his head and said hoa.r.s.ely, “Understood. I'll do it right away.”

“Wait a moment.” He was about to leave when Norton's voice came from behind. “Inform the fifth fleet and ask them to provide support for you. If you fail, someone has to deal with the aftermath.”

The person covered in shadows nodded slightly and said, “Yes, Lord Norton.”

Su Han and Nicole slowly descended from the huge cave.

Based on the distance they had descended, they were now deep in the mountain. The moment they landed on the ground, Su Han could feel the screaming of the wind coming from the cave in all directions.

This was actually a karst cave with many mountain pa.s.ses and forks.

Su Han said with interest, “I'm a little curious. How did a little girl like you find such a place?”

Although Nicole was very dissatisfied with the t.i.tle of little girl, she still did not dare to be presumptuous in front of this new king. She explained, “I didn't find this place, but my mother did.”

Su Han looked at her and said, “Your father is Linton. I've never heard you mention your mother.”

Nicole picked up a rock and tossed it around. “Let's not talk about that woman. A few years ago, she abandoned me and my father. She abandoned our race. Perhaps she has already died somewhere.”

Su Han saw that she was unwilling to talk about it, so he did not ask further.

“What exactly is that substance that you brought me to?” Su Han asked.

Nicole said with a smile, “That substance is called the Source Fluid. It was produced in the deepest part of this mountain range, but I'm not too sure where it came from. However, as long as this Source Fluid is used to carve certain patterns on the body, it can change the way the spiritual power is operated.”

“If the brain is compared to a well, then these patterns are like a river. The spiritual power flows through the entire body in the river, thus magnifying the effect of the spiritual power.”

She gently stroked the patterns on her body and said, “My mother also told me that these patterns are the patterns of the soul. What she said is indeed true. I can see the soul, so I am sure that these patterns on my body clearly correspond to the direction of each law in my soul.”

Su Han felt that he had touched a brand new track.

If these patterns were the external manifestation of the soul, then using these patterns as a subst.i.tute for the brain seemed to be a feasible method.

The brain, which was a deep well that carried spiritual power, was converted into silver patterns that spread throughout the body.

If it was further developed, would it be able to change the carrier of the soul, allowing these patterns to completely replace the function of the brain as a carrier?

If it was possible, then it would truly be a revolution.

“Take me there.” Su Han felt that he could not wait any longer.

The spiritual power that was freed from the restraints of the brain was equivalent to, in a certain sense, removing the restrictions on his spiritual power. He would be able to quickly establish his position in tier-8 at the speed of a G.o.d.

Although he did not dare to call himself invincible at tier-8, it was enough to allow him to run amok.

“The collapse should be in front.”

In the depths of the cave, seven black-robed men slowly appeared in the darkness. The power they emitted was not lower than that of tier-7. The person in the lead even had the terrifying battle strength of tier-8.

“Lord Lotte, none of the magical beasts in the outer regions are easy to deal with. A magical beast that can cause a collapse that affects the depths of the underground should have astonis.h.i.+ng strength,” said one of the black-robed men.

The leader called Lotte said faintly, “I've cleaned up a lot of big fellows. Now, haven't they all become our tamed beasts?”

He slowly walked forward, he said, “In front of our Spirit Shrine, no matter how powerful the magical beasts are, they have to submit to our control. Just like before, erase their consciousness and let them become slaves of the shrine, becoming… our slaves.”

“Don't move.”

Su Han suddenly grabbed Nicole who was in front of him. He raised his head and sniffed the air.

“I smell the scent of humans. They are approaching us.”

“Humans?” Nicole's eyes widened as if she could not believe what Su Han said. “I can be sure, Lord Su Han. Only mother and I know about this place. The last time I came here, there were only magical beasts and darkness.”

Su Han moved his joints, “You also said that it was a few years ago. Judging from the blocked entrance, I'm afraid that this place has already been discovered. If it was your people, you should probably know about it. Then, other than us, it seems that only the First Human tribe is left.”

Upon hearing the First Human tribe, Nicole immediately became alert and said, “Then what should we do? Should we run?”

Su Han said, “Why should we run? Since there are First Humans here, I want to see what they are up to.”

He suddenly reached out his hand, and the wheels of law of light distortion and aura concealment flashed.

He and Nicole immediately disappeared from where they were.

Half a minute later, Lotte led six men in black and appeared where they were.

Lotte frowned and looked at the huge cave in the distance. The light from the outside world illuminated the surrounding darkness.

“Such a huge cave-in. The size of that magical beast should be huge, but it's a little strange. Why are there no footprints or auras around? It's strange!”

The six men immediately became vigilant.

Lotte took out a palm and laughed loudly. It seemed to be a scepter carved out of some kind of crystal. He squatted on the ground and used the crystal scepter to slowly draw some kind of magic pattern on the sand on the ground. He said, “I'll use the flashback crystal to look at the image of the collapse. You guys continue to be vigilant. I have a feeling that this matter is not as simple as we thought.”

He completely did not notice that his six subordinates behind him were facing some kind of crisis from the darkness.

The man in black who was the furthest away from them seemed to have noticed something. Just as he was about to speak, he felt a chill on his neck. He touched it with his hand and immediately discovered that his hand was covered in blood. A thin crack slowly appeared on his neck.

Just as he was about to shout, a hand suddenly covered his mouth from behind.

His body instantly disappeared from the spot.
