Sword God in a World of Magic

Shang had finally comprehended the Concept of Addition.

For the first time in a long while, Shang actually returned to the real world.

At that point, Shang also realized something.

He had been gone for probably years, which meant that no one had been able to contact him for that amount of time.

Most likely, Shang's fate had already been decided by the higher-ups, and the fact that Shang was still alive meant that they didn't decide to use him as a scapegoat.

Shang stood up and slowly walked over to the branch.

He entered and passed by one of the newer Named Agents and Fire Pillar.

Based on how the newer Named Agent was looking at Shang, Shang could already confirm that Fire Pillar had fed the new Agent some horseshit.

However, all of that didn't matter. Shang might very likely leave soon and go somewhere else. If the Temple of Blood decided to invest in him, he would very likely be sent somewhere else.

Shang stopped behind the Keeper and waited.

"You kept me waiting for 13 years," the Keeper said. "Together with the 14 years you used last time, you have sat in front of the Yellow Sunbreaker for 27 years."

'27 years is about what I expected,' Shang thought, but he didn't answer.

"Was it at least worth it?" the Keeper asked.

Shang nodded.

"Show me," the Keeper ordered.

Shang didn't move, and the Keeper could feel Shang's suspicion and hesitation.

Asking about someone else's Concepts and powers was rude and could also be considered hostile. After all, if one knew what someone else could do, one would be able to counter the other person's powers and create a plan to kill them.
