Chapter 1152: When Was the Last Time You Wet Your Bed?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Lin Huang and Yin Hangyi waited at the pavilion in the courtyard for the guard to inform the family about their arrival.

Soon, the guard brought the butler over.

The butler wore a black tuxedo as usual. He did not seem to have changed at all compared to two years ago.

Fatty was slightly emotional when he saw the butler. He almost wanted to greet him, but Lin Huang, who was next to him, stopped him through voice transmission.

"Mr. Lin, it's been a while!" The butler clearly did not recognize Yin Hangyi. He was very friendly when he saw Lin Huang.

After all, he might have been dismissed by the family if Lin Huang had not taken over Ke Lai Hotel two years ago. If the family's financial situation were already unstable, feeding another person would be a burden, let alone a butler like him who required a high pay.

"It's been over two years. I can't believe you still recognize me!" Lin Huang exclaimed with a smile.

"You're the family's savior. How can we forget you?" the butler replied politely.

"Don't say that." Lin Huang waved his hand immediately. "Is the old lady home?"

"She's waiting in the living room on the second floor." The butler abruptly noticed Yin Hangyi's existence. "May I know who this is?"

"He's a friend." Lin Huang only gave a brief response and explained no more.

Seeing that Lin Huang was unwilling to say more, the butler did not ask further. "I'll bring you guys over."

Both of them followed behind the butler and headed to the house after passing the courtyard.

After entering the house, the butler led both of them to the second floor.

An old lady with silver hair was sitting on a couch in the living room of the second floor. There was a woman sitting on her left.

Lin Huang recognized the woman who was sitting next to the old lady. She was Yin Hangyi's aunt.

"Xiao Lin, it's been so long since you last visited me!" greeted the old lady delightedly as soon as she saw Lin Huang.

Lin Huang felt nothing, but Yin Hangyi almost burst in tears when he saw the old lady.

"It's my fault. I should've visited you more," Lin Huang said with a smile.

The old lady saw Yin Hangyi who was next to him after speaking to Lin Huang. She seemed to be afraid to isolate the new guest, so she asked immediately, "This is…"

"This guy next to me…" Lin Huang did not reveal the answer immediately. He was afraid that the old lady was not mentally prepared, so he simply said while smiling, "This is a surprise that I brought you today."

"A surprise? Are you guys performing a show for me?" the old lady asked bemusedly.

However, the old lady was actually skeptical. She peeped at the calendar secretly. It was the 26th of November. She thought about this date in her head quickly, but she did not recall anything special about the day. It was not a festival or anyone's birthday.

Though doubtful, the old lady did not ask why Lin Huang picked such a day to surprise her.

"It's a special performance," Lin Huang responded, "I think you'll like it."

"Let's begin then." The old lady could not figure out what Lin Huang was trying to do at all, but she chose to believe him.

Lin Huang signaled Grimace, who was invisible next to him, and they snapped their fingers together.

At the same time the fingers snapped, the disguise on Yin Hangyi's head was removed completely, revealing his original face.

As soon as Yin Hangyi's face was unveiled, the entire room fell into a dead silence.

The expression of the old lady, who was smiling, turned stiff before she subsequently became emotional.

The aunt sitting next to her was smiling along with her at the beginning. She had shock written all over her face when she saw Yin Hangyi's face.

Standing not far away, the butler was stunned. His mouth was opened for quite a while.

"Hangyi?!" The old lady's voice was shaking a little. "Is that really you?" She turned her head and looked at Lin Huang. She asked him, "Is this real?"

Lin Huang nodded lightly. "In reality, Yin Hangyi isn't dead. He had to fake his death back then to hide from his enemy, a Royal. He got me to put on a show with him."

"The Royal I offended came from a major organization in the core zone. I had to fake my death to prevent him from taking revenge on me. Fortunately, the clan the person came from offended someone they shouldn't and the whole clan was killed. Since then, I can finally stop disguising myself." Both of them came up with that story when they were buying clothes earlier.

"How about your appearance? Why do you look exactly the same as two years ago?" The aunt raised her doubt. She noticed that because the difference was terribly stark when Lin Huang stood next to Yin Hangyi. She still remembered clearly how Lin Huang looked like two years ago.

"The elixir that I injected had a special side effect whereby my body would remain how I was when I was injected. This side effect isn't permanent. It'll only last two to three years at the most," Yin Hangyi told her the lie that Lin Huang had come up with earlier.

The old lady finally calmed down and turned her head to look at Lin Huang. She stared at him seriously for a while before asking, "Xiao Lin, is he really Hangyi? Are you lying?"

"Grandma, I might joke about other stuff, but I'd definitely never joke about this," Lin Huang replied grimly.

The old lady nodded and turned her head to look at Yin Hangyi. She gave him a stern look before speaking, "If you really are Hangyi, I hope don't mind me asking something personal."

"Go ahead, Grandma." Yin Hangyi nodded, feeling a little helpless.

"Hangyi always wet his bed when he was younger. When was the last time he wet his bed? What were the time and date? I believe you'd remember this crystal-clear if you really are Hangyi. Moreover, it's pretty impossible for Hangyi to tell someone else this."

Yin Hangyi looked bothered as he said helplessly after peeping at Lin Huang, "It last happened when I was 11. It was summer, and the exact date should've been 18th June. I remember I drank too much water the day before, and I had a dream of me looking for the toilet the entire night. I found it eventually…"

"That's rather detailed." Lin Huang made fun of him.

"Another question." The old lady nodded. "Which of my dishes did you hate the most?"

"There are actually two answers to this question. One is onion rings and another is cold noodles because I really hate onion and coriander." Fatty shared the answer.

The old lady could not stop the tears from flowing when she heard the answer. "You really are Hangyi!"

"Grandma…" Yin Hangyi was holding back, but he could not help it when he saw the old lady crying. He could not stop weeping too.

He rushed to his grandma and hugged her. The grandmother and grandson sobbed while hugging, finally calming down a while later.

Lin Huang said nothing. Instead, he waited for the people to calm down before telling them to allow Yin Hangyi to disguise himself.

The old lady and the rest agreed to that immediately and they promised to keep Yin Hangyi's return a secret.

After handling Fatty and the family's matter, Lin Huang transferred Ke Lai Hotel's shares back to the family. He then bade farewell to the family and returned to Emperor City in Division 1.

Chapter 1153: One Day, We'll Definitely Meet

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The sky was turning dark when Lin Huang returned to the Emperor Palace after he settled the matter with Mr. Fu and Yin Hangyi.

He glanced at Dynasty's headquarters that was still well-lit. He hesitated before going in.

As the Emperor of Dynasty, he had actually entered the building merely a few times.

The security guards and front desk receptionist who worked overtime as well as the people in the lobby were stunned to see him walking into the building. They gawked at him.

Lin Huang remained smiling as he nodded at the people.

He walked straight to the front desk and spoke to the lady who was dressed rather fashionably, "Is Tianfu here?"

"Yes, Master Tianfu is here." The lady at the front desk nodded immediately.

"Thank you. Keep it up," Lin Huang replied and turned around, heading to Huang Tianfu's office.

The lady at the front desk watched Lin Huang left looking like she was charmed while mumbling softly, "Master Emperor thanked me…"

Lin Huang knocked on the door when he arrived at Huang Tianfu's office.

Huang Tianfu's voice soon boomed from the room. "Come in!"

Lin Huang then opened the door and entered. Huang Tianfu was stunned for a moment when he saw that it was Lin Huang who strolled in. Clearly, he did not expect him.

"Still busy working?" Lin Huang glanced at the numerous documents that were projected from his Emperor's Heart Ring. He suddenly felt that it was not easy being in Huang Tianfu's position.

"There's something that I need to handle," Huang Tianfu said and paused all of a sudden. He asked in surprise, "Master Emperor, have you already broken through to imperial-level?!"

"Yes, I just did," Lin Huang confirmed with a wide grin.

"I thought you'd need at least a week to half a month when you went hunting for Life Base monsters. I never expected you to be so quick!" Clearly, Huang Tianfu knew that Lin Huang had left Dynasty early in the morning.

"The elevation this time was considered pretty smooth." Lin Huang did not plan to explain his cultivation system that was different from the usual since Huang Tianfu did not have to know about that. "How much more time do you need to finish this? Shall we have supper together?"

"I won't finish them just yet. I'll do it tomorrow."

"I heard there's a new barbecue place that's pretty amazing."

"Are you talking about Biggie Barbecue? They're pretty amazing indeed," Huang Tianfu replied cheerfully, "They usually let the customers do the grilling themselves, but the owner has a special sauce. There are four flavors which are non-spicy, slightly spicy, medium spicy and extra spicy. They only open after 6 p.m. but people queue until 11 p.m. to 12 a.m. Their business is booming!"

"Is it really that good?" Lin Huang was even more excited hearing that.

"You'll see after you've tried it. Their sauces are amazing," said Huang Tianfu and he turned off the projection. He then projected his contact book. "Let me call the owner and get ourselves a reservation. Otherwise, we'll have to queue one to two hours when we get there."

Both of them departed as soon as Huang Tianfu completed the reservation. Soon, they arrived at the Biggie Barbecue restaurant.

It was almost 7 p.m. There was a long queue outside the restaurant. At least 40 to 50 people were waiting to be seated.

The owner came out and welcomed Lin Huang and Huang Tianfu as soon as they arrived. He led the duo to a VIP room that had just been cleared on the third floor.

The owner was a bald middle-aged man who looked plump and kind.

However, Lin Huang clearly sensed that the guy was a transcendent. Although he was only on holy fire-level, he was still a transcendent nevertheless.

"It's our pleasure that will last for a lifetime for the Master Emperor to come to our humble restaurant!" Clearly, the owner recognized Lin Huang as soon as they met.

"Give us your best today. Show Master Emperor your skill," challenged Huang Tianfu while grinning.

Lin Huang thought he could finally do the carving himself, but the owner ended up doing it. He merely smiled as they watched the owner's messy knife skills.

Although the owner was pretty good at it, he was not considered an eligible sword cultivator. Judging from his fancy way of cutting meat, Lin Huang could tell that he was the type who went for elegance. This kind of person would most probably fail in Martial Dao due to his lack of effort to grasp the true Martial Dao.

Lin Huang did not comment on his skills from the beginning until the end. He might have pointed out his mistakes if the owner were a cultivator. However, the owner before him had obviously excused himself from the cultivator circle and was living a normal life now. He might not want to hear what Lin Huang had to say even if he were to discuss Sword Dao with him out of kindness.

Naturally, the owner was perfect apart from his overly fancy knife skills.

He began preparing the second batch of meat to be grilled after the first batch was done and served it to both of them.

Lin Huang shoved the first piece of grilled meat into his mouth in anticipation. Just when he chewed twice after putting it into his mouth, the expression on his face turned odd.

After he ate the first one, Lin Huang shoved the second piece of meat into his mouth solemnly. He put the cutlery in his hands down after eating the second one. He looked at the owner who was preparing the second batch of grilled meat.

"Sir, where did you get the sauces from?"

Huang Tianfu was surprised to see Lin Huang asking that question so seriously. "What's wrong?"

"Answer me!" Lin Huang raised his hand to stop Huang Tianfu from asking further. His eyes remained staring on the owner. "Who gave you the recipe for this sauce?"

The owner put what he was doing down and explained while panicking, "A guy gave it to me when I was running my restaurant back in Division 7."

Lin Huang looked through the photo album in his Emperor's Heart Ring immediately. He finally projected a photo after searching for a long time. "Was it him?"

"Looks similar, but that's a kid in this photo. The young man that I met looks the same age as you," said the owner nervously while looking at the photo.

"Which foothold did you meet him in Division 7?" Lin Huang asked again.

"Winter City!"

"When was that?"

"Over three months ago."

"Can you tell me what happened when you guys met in detail? Tell me everything you remember. Try not to miss anything out," Lin Huang requested.

The owner did not decline his request. Instead, he nodded and began telling the story.

"I had a restaurant in Winter City of Division 7 before this. Business was alright. Three months ago, that handsome young man came to my restaurant and ate almost everything I stocked that day on his own. When he called for the bill, he told me that my food was okay but not my sauces. He told me that he happened to have barbecue sauces that he could give me for free. However, I must promise him one thing, which was to open a barbecue restaurant in Emperor City of Division 1, next to Dynasty's headquarters.

"The first reaction I had was to think that that guy was insane or that he was just a con man. However, he took out the sauces and made a batch of grilled meat for me and got me to try them. I agreed to his condition after eating only a piece of grilled meat. He gave me the recipe for the sauce and left.

"The rental agreement for the restaurant that I rented back then had come to an end, so I cleared my stuff and came straight to Emperor City after I made the first batch of sauces."

"Do you know the guy that he's talking about?" Huang Tianfu could not help but finally ask.

"If I'm not mistaken, he should be my brother." Lin Huang figured the person was most likely Lin Xuan because the grilled meat tasted very familiar to him. Although the sauces had improved a lot, Lin Huang recognized it was Lin Xuan's recipe after tasting them.

"What else did he tell you? Think carefully. Did you miss anything out?" Lin Huang lifted his head again and looked pointedly at the restaurant owner.

"Oh yeah, he said something else after giving me the recipe. He told me if the Emperor of Dynasty came to my restaurant one day and asked about him, tell the Emperor this —'Don't think of me, don't look for me. One day, we'll definitely meet.'"

"Don't think of me, don't look for me. One day, we'll definitely meet…" Lin Huang repeated while frowning slightly.

Chapter 1154: Picking A Good Date

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Initially, all Lin Huang wanted was to discuss things with Huang Tianfu and buy him supper. He did not expect to be surprised at the barbecue restaurant.

He was shocked when he heard about Lin Xuan out of nowhere.

It had been three years since he found Lin Xuan. Although the little guy had only stayed for half a year with him and Lin Xin, Lin Huang treated him like family. In reality, Lin Huang had been trying to look for him for more than two years but to no avail. He knew nothing else apart from the fact that Lin Xuan had gone to the Land of Origin.

Lin Huang was finally relieved when he heard that Lin Xuan had now appeared in Winter City where the three of them had lived before. At least, he was still alive, and he still remembered Lin Huang and Lin Xin.

As for what Lin Xuan got the restaurant owner to say, he clearly knew about Lin Huang's current position and situation. To prevent Lin Huang from wasting his efforts of searching for him, he requested the restaurant owner to pass the message: 'Don't think of me, don't look for me. One day, we'll definitely meet'.

He wanted to tell Lin Huang that there was no need to waste his efforts and time to look for him. He would naturally show up when they should meet, and it would not take long for their next encounter.

Lin Huang nodded while smiling at the owner after hearing Lin Xuan's message. "I get it now. Thanks for the message."

Lin Xuan might not know that his message arrived just in time. Lin Huang was planning to use Dynasty to search for him before he left this gravel world. However, now it seemed like it was unnecessary at all.

He was sure that Lin Xuan was safe now. Moreover, his freedom should not be restricted to judging his whereabouts. Lin Huang decided to respect his decision, so he dismissed the thought of looking for him and just waited for him to show up one day.

Lin Huang got the owner to excuse himself when they were almost done with the barbecue. He then began talking business with Huang Tianfu.

"Now that I've already elevated to imperial-level, I might leave this gravel world in a few months," Lin Huang told him his plan without hiding anything.

"You're leaving the gravel world when you're only on imperial-level? Isn't it too risky? Why don't you leave when you've elevated to virtual god-level? With your talent as the Emperor of Dynasty, it's just a matter of time when you elevate to virtual god-level." Huang Tianfu tried to stop him. As a Dynasty member, it was only natural that he hoped Lin Huang would stay longer. After all, Dynasty's destiny lay completely in Lin Huang's hands. He was concerned that Dynasty would be disqualified by Royal if Lin Huang died after getting to the great world.

"The reason I'm heading to the great world so soon is that this gravel world is coming to an end. I must find a solution before the disaster arrives."

"Don't worry about me. Although I'm only on imperial-level, even a Virtual God rank-9 powerhouse can do nothing to me when it comes to the ability to keep myself alive," Lin Huang said while smiling, "Otherwise, how is it possible for me to have managed to obtain rank-A authorization if I'm not capable?

"I'll relegate most of my power at Dynasty to you, Wunan, and Tufu before I leave. As usual, the three of you will manage Dynasty. I hope to see a better Dynasty when I get back from the great world."

"It definitely will be better!" Huang Tianfu nodded immediately. He knew that Lin Huang had made up his mind, and stopping him was futile.

"I need you guys to help me with a few things before I leave."

"Shoot."

"Firstly, help me collect as many sword skills as you can. I need sword skills of all ranks, so collect as many as you can. Second, collect Godheads and broken Godheads for me. The more, the better! Thirdly, collect god-level soul crystals or god items containing a sea of spiritual energy for me."

Lin Huang took a temporary storage ring out from his storage space after he was done with the three requests. He passed it to Huang Tianfu. "Naturally, I'll pay for the things that I've personally asked for. This is the prepaid cash for you. Just let me know when you've run out."

Huang Tianfu peered at the ring as he accepted it. He was secretly shocked.

Such a ring contained almost all of the treasures that Lin Huang had obtained from ending God Bless. There were over 40 god relics alone and more than 500 demigod relics. There were also up to millions of Divine Stones as well as tens of thousands of miscellaneous items such as ancient relics.

"Handle the miscellaneous items such as the ancient relics in the ring for me."

"Sure, I'll sort it out tomorrow morning." Huang Tianfu merely looked through the contents and put the ring away into his storage space.

"I heard Tufu went to Division 3 two days ago. Was he discussing a collaboration with the Union Government of the Division 3 branch?" Lin Huang asked rather casually.

"Yes, our organization is doing great in Division 3. With your fame in the past few months, our branch in Division 3 is almost on the same par with the Union Government. They looked for Tufu this time mainly to discuss the collaboration to maintain the order in Division 3 and the follow-up work."

"Since their branch in Division 3 is collaborating with us, I think we can collaborate with their headquarters too," Lin Huang continued with a smile.

Huang Tianfu frowned slightly after hearing that. "But it would mean that we're turning our backs on other underground organizations if we do that. The other underground organizations can turn a blind eye if the branches are collaborating. After all, some of their branches have businesses with the Union Government.

"Although we're a neutral organization now, we're still on the underground organization's side after all. If we do that, we're definitely making a statement. The heretics have always said that they're a neutral organization, but they've never dared to cross the line. It's fine no matter how the underground organizations' branches want to collaborate with the Union Government and the Hunter Association, but the headquarters have to remain in opposition. Furthermore, they would sometimes stir things up on purpose just to show their status of opposition."

"Are there no neutral organizations that are officially collaborating with the Union Government at the moment?" Lin Huang asked immediately after hearing that.

"There were some few hundred years ago, but they basically joined the union and became union organizations throughout the centuries. There are not many major neutral organizations now. They're all like us and the heretics, the underground organizations that want to go neutral.

"What are the major neutral organizations like?" Lin Huang inquired.

"The Shadow Killer, the heretics, the Mystic Butterfly, and us."

Naturally, the heretics were no strangers to Lin Huang since they had met. He heard of the Shadow Killer and the Mystic Butterfly too. The Shadow Killer was the No. 1 assassin organization in this gravel world. Never had Lin Huang thought they were actually a neutral organization. Lin Huang had also heard of the other organization called the Mystic Butterfly. It was the biggest intel organization in the underground world. Above 70% of the intel from the entire underground world came from them.

"I can understand that the Mystic Butterfly is a neutral organization, but how is the Shadow Killer a neutral organization too?" Lin Huang could not understand it.

Theoretically, the No. 1 assassination organization in the world, the Shadow Killer, should be the boss among all of the underground organizations.

"The Shadow Killer founded themselves as a neutral organization back then. Throughout the centuries, they took up almost every task as long as they made money. They also took up many jobs from the Union Government too. They're pretty much one of the earliest batches of neutral organizations that have collaborated with the Union Government and the Hunter Association."

"If they took jobs from the union organizations, many underground organizations should know about that, shouldn't they?" Lin Huang raised his brow.

"They basically know about it, but nobody can do anything to them as long as they do it well and leave no flaws behind."

"I don't think it's because they do it well and leave no flaws behind." Lin Huang shook his head as he smirked. "It's because the Shadow Killer is so powerful that the other underground organizations daren't confront them even if they have sufficient evidence."

"Plan it out for me during these few days. Pick a good date. We'll visit the Union Government headquarters to discuss a collaboration!"

Chapter 1155: You'll Only Be Powerful If You Go Bald!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In reality, Lin Huang wanted to collaborate with the Union Government for many reasons.

One of the main reasons was to prevent Huang Tianfu and the rest from falling back into an underground organization after he left the gravel world. It would mean that his efforts were wasted if that happened.

Collaborating with the Union Government publicly would tie Dynasty and the union organization together. By the time he left, Dynasty would only have two options. One was to merge with the union organization while the other was to remain as a neutral organization. Meanwhile, the option of rejoining the underground organization would be out of the picture completely.

Naturally, there would be clear disadvantages to doing that.

Within a short period of time, Dynasty would be a traitor to all the underground organizations. Some of them might even go after Dynasty for revenge.

Nonetheless, Lin Huang was prepared to handle that.

If there were any underground organizations that dared to go after Dynasty, he did not mind killing them to warn others.

All of the neutral organizations knew that collaborating with the Union Government had more benefits than disadvantages in the long run. Nobody dared to take the first step because they were afraid of being killed by a bunch of underground organizations before they could even enjoy the benefits.

One must know that there were many ruthless individuals among the top underground organizations.

However, Lin Huang did not care about that. He was invincible in this gravel world with his God Figurine's Combat Souls. He had the absolute ability to suppress them no matter how ruthless they were.

He would kill those who dared to come at Dynasty, he was violent like that!

On the next morning, Huang Tianfu passed down Lin Huang's requests to the underlings. Dynasty's purchasing department began searching for the Godheads, sword skills and soul crystals that Lin Huang asked for in all safety zones.

After that, Huang Tianfu spent the morning communicating with the Union Government and set the official time to visit.

Even Lin Huang was a little surprised when Huang Tianfu informed him about it.

"It's settled so soon?"

"They contacted the Union Government committee immediately after hearing that it was Master Emperor who suggested that. In less than two hours, the deputy chief of the Union Government, Dongfang Bai, responded himself. We'll meet at the Union Government headquarters in First City, Division 1 on 10th December, at 9 a.m.."

"I've arranged for Senior Baiyu and myself to go with you. Wunan will stay to guard the headquarters."

"Bring Lin Xin along. You may sort out the rest." Lin Huang was worried about leaving Lin Xin alone at Dynasty's headquarters.

In reality, Huang Tianfu expected Lin Xin to join the trip, so he did not object to it. They were not going to attack the Union Government anyway, thus there was no need for people with high combat strength to go on the trip.

"Also, this morning, I've informed the purchasing department about the items that you requested last night. They're sorting it out," Huang Tianfu remembered to inform Lin Huang before he hung up the phone.

"Alright, thanks!"

Lin Huang closed his eyes slowly and began cultivating Seamless after hanging up the call with Huang Tianfu.

Although he was already invincible in this gravel world, Lin Huang did not want to depend on his God Figurine's Combat Souls. In fact, he knew very well that his personal ability had leaps and bounds to improve in. Even though he would not be able to elevate his combat strength within a short period of time, his Sword Dao, telekinesis, and Twisted Fate Scripture had yet to reach his peak. Therefore, he did not plan to waste time and indulge during the last few months in the gravel world. Instead, he was planning to improve himself as much as he could in the last few months before heading to the great world.

Cultivating Seamless was the fastest way for the results to show because he could see the increment of each telekinetic threads clearly. Compared to his Sword Dao for which he had no idea when he might break through, Seamless gave him a sense of achievement whenever he cultivated it. Therefore, Lin Huang put cultivating Seamless in his first round of self-improvement.

Ever since elevating to imperial-level, Lin Huang noticed that his speed of cultivating Seamless was much faster than before. He could split 2,000 telekinetic threads almost everyday.

He only spent six days boosting the telekinetic threads from 18,000 to 30,000 threads. He also broke through to level-5 on Seamless.

Lin Huang had gone into closed-door cultivation for merely three days when he was interrupted by a commotion.

He glanced at the source of the commotion, and saw that it was the Evil Dominator who had elevated.

Killer had also elevated less than two hours after the Evil Dominator did. Over three hours later, Lancelot finally emerged from his cocoon.

After looking at the three brand new Monster Cards thoroughly, Lin Huang put the three cards away into his body one after another. He waited for a whole day, but Bloody had yet to complete its elevation.

To his relief, the next evening, Bloody finally elevated.

However, Bloody looked completely different from before its elevation.

Lin Huang was stunned for a moment upon seeing the silhouette that came out of the cocoon.

A lady with a drop-dead gorgeous body strolled out of the cocoon. There were circles of red mist lingering around her body. She had purple hair that reached her waist, and each strand of her hair looked like they were mumbling softly as if they were alive.

"Bloody?" Lin Huang questioned, feeling unsure although he saw the panel information that was projected from far away.

"Master." Bloody appeared before Lin Huang in the blink of an eye. She was so quick that Lin Huang did not even see her trajectory clearly.

"Is there… anything wrong with your elevation?" Lin Huang could not help but ask. He thought that it was absolutely strange that Bloody had elevated to such a form.

"I think it's great! This human form allows me to showcase my battle ability to the max!" Bloody was satisfied with her brand new form.

She had learned endless human knowledge and read countless Martial Dao books as well as obtained the inheritance of countless human powerhouses. Her human form was the best form that could allow her to showcase what she had learned.

Lin Huang realized what Bloody's purpose of changing form was after hearing her talk about her battle ability.

He had no doubt that Bloody's progress in cultivating the human Martial Dao might be terrifying given the intelligence and knowledge that she had in store. He even faintly felt that she might be able to master the true meaning of Martial Dao faster than he could.

"Won't this form affect your computing ability?" Lin Huang enquired.

"No, this elevation boosted my computing ability to become tens of times more powerful. Moreover, each of my hair is an extension of my brain. Each of them gives me an approximate 1% boost in computing skills. I have over 100,000 strands of hair which will give me thousands of times of boost in my computing skills. In other words, the most computing skills I'll have would be tens of thousands of times more than before," Bloody explained, "The only disadvantage is that such overloaded computing with that much of a boost will make my hair shed as soon as it lasts for a long time. They'll only grow back in 48 hours."

'So, it's true that you'll only be powerful if you go bald. This makes sense.' While Lin Huang teased secretly, he could not help but check Bloody's card details.

"Monster Card: Bloody

"Rarity: Mythical-level

"Monster Name: Wise Queen

"Type of Monster: Wisdom-type / Unknown Tribe

"Nickname: The Wise

"Combat Level: Imperial-level Yellow Gold-rank

"Major: Intelligence, Parasitism

"Major Skills: Divine Parasitism (includes hundreds of parasitism skills), Absolute Administration, Heart of Knowledge, Inheritance Plunder…

"Minor Skills: Supreme Intelligence, Divine Telekinesis, Immortal Tinder, Consciousness Transfer…

"Summon Authority: Activated

"Card Remarks: Recommended to train with maximum effort!"

Bloody had similar skills as Divine Parasitism, Absolute Administration and Supreme Intelligence before. Lin Huang knew the rough effect of the few skills after only taking a glance.

However, there were some new skills that he could not understand what exactly their effect was. He tapped them open to read carefully right away.

"Heart of Knowledge: Extreme eagerness to learn, a 100-time boost in the learning ability for all knowledge."

"Inheritance Plunder: Allows one to plunder a host's memory inheritance by force even if the inheritance is sealed (the success rate of plundering isn't 100%; it depends on how much the inheritance is sealed.

"Immortal Tinder: The main body can create nine Immortal Tinders that contain his complete memory and inheritance. When the main body is dead, the tinder will be activated automatically and transform the host rapidly to be replaced by the main body.

"Remarks: This skill is best combined with Consciousness Transfer.

"Consciousness Transfer: The main body can preserve his complete consciousness and transfer it to a specific host.

"Remarks: This skill is best combined with Immortal Tinder."

Lin Huang thought Bloody's overall ability was countless times more powerful than it had been before after roughly reading her card.

Not only did she have the talent to be a military advisor, but the three abilities including Inheritance Plunder, Heart of Knowledge, and Supreme Intelligence were also sufficient to make her the ultimate genius that no human could compare to.

If given enough time, she could absorb all the knowledge in the entire world and become an invincible existence who knew everything and was capable of everything.

"I've been sleeping for more than ten days. Is there anything that you need my help with?" Bloody asked Lin Huang just when he was done reading the card details.

"Your elevation came just in time. I'll be discussing a collaboration with the Union Government in two days. You can help me plan out how to maximize the benefits for Dynasty and me as well as create a win-win for the Union Government."

Chapter 1156: Visiting First City Again

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

To Lin Huang, Bloody's elevation came at the perfect timing.

Lin Huang came up with the collaboration proposal for the Union Government after spending merely a night discussing with Bloody.

He sent the proposal he got Bloody to sort out to Huang Tianfu, asking the experienced man if there was anything that they should add or delete.

Huang Tianfu was a little surprised when he got the proposal from Lin Huang. Initially, he planned to get Lin Huang out of the Emperor Palace to discuss it with him properly. In the end, Lin Huang had sent him a complete proposal directly.

He was shocked after giving it a thorough read because the proposal Lin Huang had sent him was complete. It included almost everything that he thought of, even some of the matters that he did not think of.

It was past 3 a.m. in the middle of the night when Huang Tianfu finished reading the proposal.

He peeped at the time and read the proposal all over again to see if there was anything that he could add on.

He finally went through the proposal for the second time when it was past 6 a.m. In the end, he thought Lin Huang's proposal was flawless.

Lin Huang smiled when he received Huang Tianfu's message early in the morning. "It seems like I can focus on my cultivation for two days."

Huang Tianfu's message was that the proposal was alright and that there was nothing that needed amending, so they could go on with the proposal right away.

Time flew by and two days passed. It was 10th December when the meeting was supposed to take place.

Lin Huang was done washing up at past 6 a.m. It was not even 7 a.m. when he was done with breakfast.

After preparing himself, the four of them including Lin Huang, Lin Xin, Huang Tianfu, and Huang Baiyu stepped into the dimensional portal and arrived in First City where the Union Government headquarters were at 8 a.m. sharp.

Lin Huang brought the few of them to a cafe near the Union Government headquarters. In less than three minutes they ordered their coffee, the current chief of Agency EA, Guan Zhong, arrived with his people.

Lin Huang greeted with a wide grin after seeing the familiar person, "Chief, are you here for coffee too?"

"You're funny, Master Emperor." Guan Zhong walked over to Lin Huang. "I've met Master Emperor a couple of times after all, so they sent me to ease everyone to prevent the awkwardness."

"Let me introduce you. This is Mr. Zhao Lingming, the committee chairman of the Union Government headquarters. This is Ms. Ran Ning, the deputy chairman." Guan Zhong stepped to his left and introduced the duo next to him to Lin Huang.

The man who stood on the left was tall and tanned, and he looked serious. Lin Huang could tell by the looks of it that this man must be from the military. The way he stood was so ramrodded straight that it was hard to hide the fact that he came from the military.

The lady next to him wore a pair of glasses. She looked 27 or 28. Lin Huang could not tell her actual age. This lady should be beautiful, but she wore the black-framed glasses on purpose. She even had light make-up on which was intentional, making her appear inconspicuous and easily ignored.

However, Lin Huang looked at her again because Bloody's Leech Pod sent a message to him: This lady might have Supreme Intelligence.

Since he could not bring any summoning beasts with him to this discussion, Lin Huang asked Bloody to cast a Leech Pod in his body to observe the meeting from far away and give him real-time suggestions.

Meanwhile, Bloody cast her parasite on a handsome man in a hotel less than 300 meters from the cafe at the beginning. Bloody used him to check into the hotel. In the hotel room, the man who was parasitized had fallen into a deep sleep while Bloody observed everything from far through the Leech Pod.

Clearly, the Union Government delayed the collaboration meeting by 12 days to give them enough time to prepare. Judging from the current situation, they had done a great job preparing.

"Nice to meet you, both chairmen," Lin Huang said to both of them while smiling.

At the moment, Huang Tianfu took over the conversation and introduced him to the few people from the Union Government, "This is our Master Emperor, and this is our Dynasty's little princess, who is the Master Emperor's sister. This man next to me is Dynasty's Duke Yu, Huang Baiyu. Lastly, your humble one is Dynasty's Huang Tianfu."

Guan Zhong and the rest clearly had their eyes trained on Duke Yu for a moment when they heard his name.

The ordinary organization members might not know it, but Guan Zhong and the rest who were the upper echelon of the Union Government knew that there were currently only two Dukes who were given official titles. They were Huang Baiyu and Huang Haoyang, who were both virtual god-level powerhouses. Meanwhile, those who were called Dukes like Huang Tianqi just had honorable titles that the outsiders called them. The title was not officially given by Dynasty. They knew that Huang Baiyu who was assigned the title Duke Yu was a powerhouse on Virtual God rank-3. He was considered one of the people with top abilities in this gravel world.

Ran Ning spoke while smiling in the next second everyone fell into silence. Her eyes focused on Lin Xin who was next to Lin Huang. "So, this is Dynasty's little princess. I've heard that Master Emperor has a sister, but never had I thought she'd turn out to be a little beauty."

'It would be ridiculous if you guys don't know how Lin Xin looks like,' Lin Huang thought to himself.

However, that was not what Lin Xin was thinking about. She had her head in the clouds since Ran Ning, who was a girl, had complimented her.

"I heard that you used to teach in the firearms faculty when you were at the Martial Hunter College in Division 7. I happen to have a gun in my storage ring that I've just gotten a few days ago. I'll give it to you as a gift," Ran Ning spoke and took out an ancient gun relic. It was a black lady's pistol with many purple decorative patterns on it, holding a mysterious beauty.

Lin Xin's eyes lit up when she saw it. "Isn't this the Purple Mystic 001 that the Eagle Company has just released recently? I heard this is the first product from their Purple Mystic series? It's a limited edition with only 100 of them worldwide!"

Lin Xin had taken note of the pistol before. Although it was just an ancient gun relic, its price was nothing less than a demigod relic.

"Yeah, I know the owner of the Eagle Company and asked for one for myself knowing that demigod Gong Wei designed it. I thought it was a great collectible."

"You like Gong Wei's design too?" Lin Xin felt like she had found herself a best friend.

"Yeah, I think her design is beautiful. I collect almost every household product that she's designed. Sometimes, I get those off the market through my connection…"

The two ladies talked about Gong Wei and ignored Lin Huang and the rest completely.

Gong Wei was one of the countable demigods in this world. Although her battle ability was not considered powerful, she was very pretty. Her dressing was classy and she landed as the focus of the media in each meeting she attended. As time passed by, she became the No. 1 fashionable person in this gravel world. She was also an idol to many females.

No matter what she designed, the product would be a hot sell-out almost every time because she had hordes of female fans who would purchase it.

Lin Huang had heard of her name before, but he had no thoughts about this lady.

The reason he remembered the name Gong Wei was that she had designed a lady's backpack two years ago. In the end, some of them realized the backpack was too small after purchasing it and posted threads online to complain that it could not contain much.

Gong Wei posted online directly after hearing about the complaints: "A bag is for one to look good. Why would you want to put anything in it? If that's what you want, why don't you just use a plastic bag?"

What she said caused a heated discussion online. Many of them complained that the things she designed were impractical. Meanwhile, there were many fans who stood by her side, supporting what she said and agreeing that it made sense.

That was the only impression Lin Huang had of Gong Wei the demigod. He did not even know that Lin Xin was also Gong Wei's fan.

Ran Ning passed the pistol over to Lin Xin after the two ladies chatted for a while. "This pistol will be my meeting gift to you."

"This is too much!" Lin Xin waved her hands immediately. Although she liked it, she did not want to take away something that someone else loved. After all, Ran Ning had used some effort to obtain it.

"Don't worry about it. I'm not a firearms master anyway. This pistol will be treated as a collectible with me, but with you, it could live its life to its fullest."

"But…" Lin Huang interrupted her when Lin Xin was about to continue with something.

"We can't take it for free. Let's trade." Lin Huang glanced at Ran Ning while smiling. "I asked the chief earlier. He told me that Ms. Ran you're a sword cultivator. Let me trade a demigod sword relic with this pistol. Such a gift exchange of the same value is a kind of friendship too. Furthermore, the gifts that we exchange are very practical for both of us," Lin Huang spoke while taking a demigod sword relic out from his storage space.

He had picked the sword with Ran Ning in mind. It was completely purple with beautiful shape and intricate patterns.

Even Ran Ning could not help but feel stunned when she saw it.

"This Purple Phoenix will be the gift Xin Er exchanges with Ms. Ran," Lin Huang said and passed the sword to Lin Xin.

Lin Xin looked at Lin Huang in gratitude and took over the sword.

Ran Ning was speechless. She wanted to get Lin Xin a gift so that Lin Xin would remember the favor. Never had she thought that Lin Huang would interfere and that it would turn out to be a gift exchange instead.

Although he did not want the demigod sword relic, she could only accept it since events had unfolded this way.

The two ladies soon exchanged their gifts under the witness of many.

Lin Huang could not help but smirk a little when he saw Lin Xin failing to take her eyes off the Purple Mystic 001 that she had just gotten while Ran Ning put the sword away into her storage space expressionlessly.

"Let's head to the meeting room at the headquarters. We'll talk over tea." Guan Zhong circled back to the topic after seeing that the two ladies had stopped their chatting. He then led Lin Huang and the rest to the office building where the Union Government headquarters were.

Chapter 1157: How's Mr. Fu Doing?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Huang Tianfu and Huang Baiyu were speechless when they saw the building as they stood outside the Union Government headquarters. Lin Xin looked away while blushing a little. Clearly, she recognized the shape of the building.

"It's huge! It's much bigger than the video projection!" Huang Baiyu, who had been silent, could not help but exclaim.

Guan Zhong and the rest turned away. None of them were looking straight at the building.

In reality, Lin Huang had gone searching for the reason why the Union Government headquarters were designed like that out of curiosity when he got back from his visit last time.

In the end, he found out that it was not a joke the architect was trying to pull.

The buildings were designed by a powerful demigod named Gao Lou during the new era. He was hot-tempered and possessed powerful abilities.

The Union Government requested him to build a main building and two subsidiary buildings with the main building being so tall that it soared into the sky like a giant sword. Meanwhile, the subsidiary buildings had to be beautiful and tasteful.

In reality, the two subsidiary buildings were three to four times bigger than what they were now compared to the draft. Apart from that, the main building looked more like a sword that pierced into the land. It should be taller and thinner than what it was at the moment.

However, the Union Government was unsatisfied with the draft. They thought the main building was not tasteful enough and that the subsidiary buildings were too attention-seeking. They got the architect to change the sizes again and again.

After amending the draft for more than 20 times, Gao Lou could no longer take the Union Government's warped sense of beauty and decided to drop the job entirely. The last version he drew was the current ratio of the trio.

The Union Government went looking for Gao Lou after he dropped the job, but he disappeared.

Unable to do anything else, the upper echelon looked for other architects. However, none of them wanted to take the job.

There were very few demigods in the entire world back then whereby there were only less than ten of them. As the only demigod-level architect, Gao Lou was the best architect in the field and was an idol to many architects.

The act of the Union Government offending Gao Lou would mean they offended everyone in the architectural industry.

Without having any idea what to do, the Union Government built the headquarters using the last draft version that Gao Lou designed since the previous ones were all gotten rid of.

Ultimately, it turned out to look like this, a Neo Armstrong Cyclone Jet Armstrong Cannon.

The current the Union Government would have definitely chosen a dimensional demigod relic or god relic as their headquarters instead of constructing a building from scratch.

However, the discovery of ruins had yet to take place when the Union Government was founded 800 years ago during the new era. Not many people had demigod relics, let alone dimensional demigod relic and god relic.

"It's windy outside. Let's get in." Eventually, the committee chairman, Zhao Lingming, broke the awkwardness and gestured for Lin Huang to go in.

They followed Lin Huang into the main building and arrived at the 198th floor, which was the highest floor of the Union Government office building by elevator.

Both sides sat at the table after entering the meeting room, and they fell into silence again.

After the staff served everyone tea, Guan Zhong finally broke the silence, "The chief found the tree of these tea leaves in a grade-5 ruin over 100 years ago. It's considered an ancient tea. They brought 12 trees back, but only one survived. I think this should be the only ancient tea tree in the world."

Lin Huang took a sip. All he tasted was a light sweetness and fragrance that lingered on his palate. There was no bitterness at all.

"How's the annual production of these tea leaves like?" Lin Huang carried on with the topic.

"The annual production is extremely low with only approximately a pound a year. The chief usually serves 50% of them to our guests, sets 30% aside as a reward, and keeps 20% for himself."

"One pound is indeed a little low," Lin Huang responded.

As the few of them chatted about tea leaves, they soon moved on to something else. The atmosphere in the meeting room that was initially silent was now livelier.

Not long later, a few new people soon came into the meeting room one after another.

There were faces that Lin Huang was familiar with, such as the deputy chief of the Union Government, Dongfang Bai, and the press representative, Han Yao.

Both of them always appeared in the Union Government official news site, so it was hard for people not to recognize them.

Apart from the two familiar faces, there was another old man with silver hair who was the committee deputy chairman of the Union Government just like Ran Ning.

There was also a middle-aged man who was clearly a security guard or some sort who came with Dongfang Bai. He had the same combat strength as Huang Baiyu, which was Virtual God rank-3. He sat next to Dongfang Bai and almost never took his eyes off Huang Baiyu as soon as he came in.

Huang Baiyu merely peeped at him and ignored him completely.

Everyone introduced themselves courteously after entering. They then found themselves a seat after chatting out of politeness.

When it was almost 8.55 a.m., the Union Government chief, Jiang Shan, finally walked into the meeting room. He was the last to arrive.

As soon as he showed up, everyone in the meeting room including Lin Huang and the rest stood up to welcome him as a sign of respect.

It was Lin Huang's first time seeing Jiang Shan in real life. This man looked 35 or 36 years old and was almost 1.9 meters tall with a strong body. He wore a neat, light gray suit. Among everyone present, he was the most formally dressed.

Lin Huang could not help but hold his head down to look at himself after seeing how Jiang Shan was dressed. He thought he might have dressed too casually.

Jiang Shan looked through the room while standing at the door. His eyes soon landed on Lin Huang, and he walked toward him while smiling and gripping Lin Huang's hand.

"Mr. Emperor, it's such a pleasure! I've heard of the name Lin Xie around half a year ago. I told myself I must meet you if I had the chance for you're such a talented young man. I never thought the No. 1 genius would become the Emperor of Dynasty in the blink of an eye! I couldn't believe it when I heard the news. And now, you're here as an organization leader. We should never underestimate the younger generation!"

"Well, I can only say that life is unexpected. I didn't expect myself to be the Emperor of Dynasty as well." Lin Huang smiled while nodding.

"It's fate now that I think about it. You're Mr. Fu's disciple. He's taught me before as well, so I'm considered his half-disciple. We're pretty much senior and junior brothers of the same sect." Jiang Shan soon found common ground.

"It's nice to meet you, Senior Brother!" Slyness flashed through Lin Huang's eyes. He did not think that calling Jiang Shan Senior Brother was a loss to him. After all, Jiang Shan was older and held a high position. Now that he was his junior, it would benefit him in the discussion later.

"How's Mr. Fu doing?" Jiang Shan asked out of politeness.

"Pretty great. His injury has recovered." Lin Huang's answer surprised everyone.

The reason he revealed that at such a time was that Mr. Fu had informed him last night that he had elevated to Virtual God rank-9. Moreover, he told Lin Huang that he could use his name when he needed to.

Even Jiang Shan was stunned to hear the news. He asked immediately, "Are you serious?"

"Of course, I'm serious! I never joke about things like that," Lin Huang replied grimly.

Chapter 1158: The Union Government's Weakness

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Apart from Lin Huang and Lin Xin, everyone was shocked by the news of Mr. Fu being healed.

Most of the people had no idea about Mr. Fu's exact combat strength. However, Jiang Shan and the rest of the Union Government upper echelons knew about it.

To many, Mr. Fu, who had been severely injured over 800 years ago, was like a tiger who had lost its teeth. He was nobody to be feared of. He was nothing no matter how powerful his combat strength was because the more Divine Power he used, the closer he was to his impending death. Therefore, they were sure that Mr. Fu would not retaliate.

However, the situation was totally different if Lin Huang was telling the truth.

Virtual God rank-8 was close to the limit that this gravel world could contain. Meanwhile, the most powerful seniors in all the top organizations only had a combat strength of Virtual God rank-3. At least, that was what was known to the public.

To a Virtual God rank-8 powerhouse, comparing a Virtual God rank-3 person was like comparing a baby less than a month old to an adult hunk that could carry 300 kilograms of weight. Their abilities were on entirely different levels.

Having had his ability recovered, Mr. Fu was considered a person who should be feared in this gravel world.

Naturally, the Union Government was doubtful of what Lin Huang told them.

After all, it had been over 800 years since Mr. Fu had been injured, and he had yet to heal throughout the years. Moreover, it was such a coincidence for Lin Huang to come with the news. They could not rule out the possibility that he had come up with a lie to win more benefits in the discussion.

Lin Huang knew that Jiang Shan and the rest would most probably doubt him if he were to tell them the news. The purpose of him revealing the news was not for them to believe in him, but to make them worry.

Jiang Shen took the main seat after chatting with Lin Huang for merely a moment.

Everyone in the meeting room also returned to their seats.

There were not many people in the entire meeting room. There were a total of eight people from the Union Government's side, including their chief Jiang Shan, deputy chief Dongfang Bai, committee chairman Zhao Lingming, the deputy chairmen Ran Ning and Qiu Xu, press representative Han Yao, and the two Virtual God rank-3 powerhouses who were responsible for their safety.

Meanwhile, the people Lin Huang brought from Dynasty only made up half of the number of people from the Union Government. They were Lin Huang and his sister, one of the three Grand Dukes, Huang Tianfu, and the Virtual God, Huang Baiyu.

Jiang Shan spoke directly seeing that it was close to 9 a.m. which was the scheduled time of the meeting, "Emperor Lin, you've been keeping the collaboration's agenda and direction a secret. Can you share it with us now?"

Lin Huang picked the cup up and took a sip of the tea before saying slowly, "I'm sure every one of you from the Union Government knows that the organization behind Dynasty is Royal from the great world. Am I right?"

He then proceeded to speak after seeing that everyone from the Union Government nod. "I passed the Royal Trial and became a Royalty officially before being chosen as the Emperor of Dynasty."

In reality, the Union Government upper echelons including Jiang Shan knew about this, but they listened patiently.

"The reason I have the confidence to collaborate with the Union Government is that I have Royal's support. This looks like a collaboration between Dynasty and the Union Government on the surface, but in reality, I'm representing Royal to propose a business opportunity with the Union Government."

The people from the Union Government looked solemn as they listened. Although they figured the bargaining power Lin Huang might bring, they could not help but anticipate it when they heard Lin Huang mention it out loud.

"Although there are many ruins and sites in this gravel world, it's been over 800 years since the new era began. The resources available in those ruins and sites that were explored for many times are depleting. Moreover, there are fewer and fewer new ruins and sites throughout the centuries. Sometimes, we can't even find a single one throughout a year.

"I know you guys restricted the participants' combat strength and time to enter the newly opened ruins and sites throughout the centuries. You guys are also trying your best to control the number of old ruins and sites being explored as well as prolonging the interval in between explorations so that the ruins and site can grow more resources. However, the resources that everyone can get from the ruins and sites are still dropping every year.

"After all, the world that we're currently in is merely a gravel world, whereby the number of ruins and sites are limited. The resources will continue to decrease as more people explore those ruins and sites that are already limited. It's a fact that you can't change no matter how much you guys want to restrict and manage them. The number of ruins and sites make the resources limited.

"Meanwhile, the bargaining power I have to bring to the table today is the solution to increase the number of ruins and sites!"

"Let's hear it!" Jiang Shan and the rest were giving him all of their attention at this point.

"Royal has countless mini-worlds under them, and the number of ruins and sites continue to go up every day. Well, I have the authority to explore these ruins and sites."

The eight from the Union Government were a little restless as soon as Lin Huang said that.

Even Jiang Shan did not expect Lin Huang to hold onto the Union Government's weakness as soon as he showed up. However, he was accurate.

Naturally, it was not Lin Huang who came up with that idea. Instead, it was Bloody who was in the hotel hundreds of meters away that transferred the information into his head through her Leech Pod while he merely repeated the information he was fed with.

It was also the plan Lin Huang and Bloody came up with, which was to get Bloody to participate in the discussion.

Just like what Bloody got Lin Huang to say, the Union Government had indeed done everything they could to maintain all the ruins and sites. However, there were a limited number of ruins and sites after all which resulted in limited resources.

As the Union Government members and the military department had been growing throughout the 800 years, they had more and more requirements for all cultivation resources. Meanwhile, there were fewer and fewer new ruins and sites as well as resources throughout the past century. That was the biggest issue that put the Union Government's development to a halt as of late.

They had been looking for solutions but their attempts were to no avail. They had opened all the ruins and sites in this gravel world. Although there were new ruins and sites that appeared occasionally, it was just a drop in the ocean which did nothing much to help the issue.

Jiang Shan finally spoke again after they discussed among themselves through voice transmission for a while, "Emperor Lin, what do you guys want in return for the authorization to be extended to us?"

"An extensive and comprehensive collaboration, including sharing of information that's circulated in the union organizations. Basically, the sharing of resources and authorization that other union organizations can enjoy." Lin Huang went all out.

"Whatever you're requesting is exclusive to our union organizations. If Dynasty really wants to enjoy these benefits, you can actually join the union organization directly," Deputy Chief Dongfang Bai said to Lin Huang while smiling.

"We're a neutral organization and we won't pick any sides," Lin Huang rejected him directly.

"Emperor Lin, why don't you give us a day to discuss it? Let's end today's meeting right here." Jiang Shan called off the meeting immediately upon noticing that Dongfang Bai and Lin Huang were staring at each other and nobody was backing off.

Chapter 1159: It's None of Your Business!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Since the first round of discussion came to an end, Guan Zhong checked Lin Huang and the other three of them into a hotel near the Union Government headquarters.

Each of them were supposed to stay in a room individually, but Lin Huang got Guan Zhong to put Lin Xin in the same room with him because he was worried. The three rooms were connected. The room Lin Huang and Lin Xin were in was in the middle while Huang Tianfu and Huang Baiyu's rooms sandwiched theirs.

Guan Zhong soon excused himself and left after checking the four of them into the hotel.

Huang Tianfu and Huang Baiyu only knocked on Lin Huang's door after waiting for Guan Zhong to leave.

"Master Emperor, the collaboration…"

Lin Huang interrupted Huang Tianfu just when he began to speak, "Come in. We'll talk inside."

He recalled Bloody who was hundreds of meters away into her card form when the duo entered. Then, he summoned her again.

The three of them were surprised to see Bloody who had a knockout figure in her red dress.

Lin Xin was checking Bloody out rather closely since it was her first time seeing Bloody since her elevation.

"Brother, who is this chick?"

"She's Bloody."

"Bloody?!" Lin Xin was even more sceptical now. The Bloody she remembered did not look like this but was a clump of purple cloud who liked hiding in Lin Huang's sleeve. However, the person before them was clearly a human. Besides that, Lin Xin could not see any resemblance of a monster in her.

"She elevated and transformed into this," Lin Huang explained, feeling helpless.

Seeing that Lin Xin was still in disbelief, Bloody spoke using her voice from before, "Miss Xin Er, I'm really Bloody. I just underwent a significant change in form during the recent elevation."

Lin Xin only confirmed it was Bloody after hearing her familiar voice, but she remained curious. Never had she thought that a monster that was initially a cloud would transform into a human form after elevating.

Bloody turned her head and introduced herself to Huang Tianfu and Huang Baiyu when she noticed their surprise too, "I'm Master's summoning beast. My name is Bloody."

"This summoning beast looks terribly like a human, doesn't she?" Huang Baiyu stared at Bloody for a while and could not tell her apart from a regular human. "Even her aura is exactly the same as a human's."

Meanwhile, Huang Tianfu was much calmer. All he did was look at Lin Huang rather curiously. "Master Emperor, you summoned this summoning beast at this moment because…"

"Bloody has Supreme Intelligence. She's the one who came up with the proposal for the collaboration with me." Huang Tianfu and Huang Baiyu understood the reason why Lin Huang summoned Bloody as soon as he said that.

"Although she can't participate in the discussion, it's great to have a strategist who has Supreme Intelligence." Huang Tianfu grinned while nodding in approval.

"She just can't participate in the discussion publicly," Lin Huang said, "Bloody has a special technique which allows her to observe the meeting through my eyes in real life and communicate with me from far away without anyone noticing. It looks like there are only four people from our side in the discussion, but in reality, there are five of us."

Lin Huang did not go into Bloody's ability in detail on purpose when he explained. It was normal for Imperial Censors to hold back on revealing their summoning beasts' abilities to the public.

Fortunately, Huang Tianfu and Huang Baiyu did not focus on Bloody's abilities. Having a participant in hiding from their side was undoubtedly great news.

"Bloody, tell us what we should do next." Lin Huang threw such a question directly before everyone to prove that Bloody deserved to participate in the discussion.

"It's impossible for the Union Government to agree to our condition completely. After all, Dynasty is just a neutral organization. No matter how tempting the benefit that we're offering is, it's impossible for them to give Dynasty all the benefits that are exclusive to the union organizations. We'd be enjoying benefits exclusive to those union organizations without having to go along with their rules. Such a request is totally breaking their rules, so there's no way the Union Government will agree to that.

"However, judging from the response from the Union Government, they're eager to explore new ruins and sites. They'll only accept our request in addition to their own conditions to come to an agreement. Therefore, now we'll have to fight for what we want most as much as we can and let them reject our requests that aren't exactly important to us. After all, both sides will have to compromise to achieve a win-win situation."

Bloody's clever answer won Huang Tianfu and Huang Baiyu's trust completely.

Lin Xin, who was sitting on the other side, only believed that it was Bloody by then. "Now, I'm sure that you're really Bloody because none of Brother's summoning beasts are as smart as you."

Lin Huang had no idea whether to laugh or cry after hearing that. In reality, Bloody was not the only one who possessed Supreme Intelligence among the summoning beasts he had. Grimace, the Bug Tribe's Queen Mother, and the Superbrain Worm that he had just obtained earlier also possessed Supreme Intelligence. As for those monsters who did not possess Supreme Intelligence, many of them had elevated to quadruple mythical-level. Speaking of intelligence, they were actually smarter than ordinary humans. Their learning and comprehension abilities were on par with human supreme geniuses (monsters on pseudo-mythical-level only have abilities comparable with supreme geniuses).

Bloody was a little speechless by Lin Xin's compliment. She pretended that she did not hear her and proceeded to speak, "We must put the things that the Union Government definitely won't let go off into consideration when we decide which condition to give up on. Even if there are authorizations that we're eager to obtain from them, if we know that it's impossible for them to allow that, we don't have to insist on it. Instead, it's better for us to be mentally prepared about what to give up on so that we can obtain benefits in other things."

Bloody's suggestion helped Lin Huang and the rest set the direction of their discussion again.

They looked at the list and began discussing which were the things that they must come to agreement on and which to give up.

Meanwhile, the Union Government was in full-swing discussion too. They were discussing what authorization they should give to Dynasty and which to prohibit no matter what.

Time flew by and a day soon went by. The Union Government and Dynasty had their preliminary discussions drafted internally.

The next morning, Lin Huang led his people into the Union Government building again after breakfast.

Bloody, who was in the hotel hundreds of meters away, spoke to Lin Huang through voice transmission all of a sudden a moment after they had just taken their seats, "The news of the discussion between Dynasty and the Union Government has been exposed! Someone took a video of you guys entering the Union Government building earlier and posted it on the black market forum. The entire forum is in a heated discussion now."

Lin Huang went to the black market forum immediately after hearing that.

As told, the first thread on the main page of the forum was 'Emperor Of Dynasty Visited The Union Government Headquarters Secretly. Click Link for Video Proof!'

Soon, Lin Huang saw the video after clicking on the thread.

The video was taken outside the Union Government building. It only lasted for some ten seconds and was a clip of Lin Huang and the other three walking into the entrance of the Union Government in the morning.

Lin Huang and Lin Xin's faces were not in the video, but Huang Tianfu and Huang Baiyu, who walked behind them, had their faces captured.

Many people recognized Huang Tianfu as soon as they saw the video. Naturally, it was not too difficult to recognize Lin Huang from his side profile.

Heated discussions from countless underground organizations went on below the threads. Most of them condemned Lin Huang as a traitor to the underground organizations.

Lin Huang thought about it and decided to comment on the thread with his personal account.

"Firstly, thank you everyone for your concern about Dynasty and myself. As the Emperor of Dynasty, I would like to say something representing Dynasty here. Dynasty is a neutral organization now and forever. As a neutral organization, we won't pick sides. We have the right to choose who we want to work with, and that has nothing to do with a third person's will (in other words, it's none of your business!). It has nothing to do with whether it's a union organization or an underground organization as well as the size or the people involved. Dynasty is willing to work with anyone whose development philosophy is in line with ours as long as it's a win-win for both sides. We welcome all organizations to collaborate with Dynasty. Let's excel together!"

Chapter 1160: Lin Huang is Trending Again!

Lin Huang closed the forum after posting that comment on the thread. He no longer followed the topic after that.

He did not plan to hide his discussion with the Union Government from anyone anyway. It made no difference to him that it was exposed since everyone would find out sooner or later. He did not care whether people found out sooner or later. If he cared, he would have disguised himself with Huang Tianfu and the rest when they entered the First City yesterday.

However, Lin Huang had no idea that the comment he posted on the thread in the black market forum became a hit. The views on the thread that was initially tens of thousands skyrocketed to over 30 million views within less than ten minutes after he commented, and the number was rising. The comment threads grew from a few hundred to more than 100,000 now.

The black market forum almost crashed from the traffic that came out of nowhere.

The reason for the sudden spike in traffic was that some of them posted the thread on some other social media sites. In addition to that, some people screenshot Lin Huang's comment and forwarded it around.

The criticism about that Lin Huang and Dynasty being traitors that was consistent on the black market forum took a turn after a new bunch of people flooded the site. The threads were all supporting Lin Huang.

"Are you guys ashamed of taking this video sneakily? The Emperor wasn't even hiding it."

"Good job on the 'it's none of your business'! Because of that, I'm Lin Huang's fan from today onwards."

"Secret visit, my a*s! He visited the Union Government publicly and didn't disguise himself at all. Instead, he walked into the building from the entrance. The video you posted shows that loud and clear, so how is that a secret visit? Do you think we're all blind?"

"To those who called out Dynasty as a traitor, the Emperor officially announced that Dynasty was no longer an underground organization four months ago as soon as he was appointed. They're now a neutral organization. What does a neutral organization working with union organization has anything to do with you underground organization?!"

Lin Huang's name became the No. 1 topic on all the social media sites early in the morning. Dynasty also became the second topic on trending topics, and they were popular now.

The first thought that flashed through many people's minds when they saw Lin Huang's name on social media sites was, 'What did Lin Huang do again? Why is he always trending? Can he give a chance to the others?!'

Everyone who clicked on the trending thread and read it thoroughly came to the same conclusion — they supported Lin Huang!

The reason was simple. Many ordinary cultivators were on all social media sites while most of them loathed the underground organizations.

Lin Huang's action undoubtedly made a statement that Dynasty was a neutral organization. Moreover, him working with the Union Government was a plus to the ordinary cultivators. To them, the Union Government represented justice. It was impossible for them to be in the same boat with evil organizations. Therefore, Dynasty's image turned positive now.

In reality, Lin Huang and Bloody did not expect that to happen.

One of the reasons why Lin Huang decided to work with the Union Government was that the Union Government had the most power. Another reason was that compared to other organizations, the possibility of the Union Government backing out on their promise was slimmer.

Lin Huang and the rest had no idea that the Union Government was following this matter closely since early in the morning.

Jiang Shan and the rest were a little surprised to see that almost everyone on the Internet supported Lin Huang.

"Everyone on the Internet supports Dynasty and Lin Huang. I really have no idea what Lin Huang fed those people," Deputy Chief Dongfang Bai shook his head while saying, failing to understand how did that happen.

"It's not too hard to understand actually." Jiang Shan smiled hearing what Dongfang Bai said. "Lin Huang is only 19 and he's already the Emperor of Dynasty as well as the No. 1 genius of the era. His name doesn't represent himself alone. It's more like a symbol, a symbol that the younger generation believes in.

"Think about it. He's a formidable genius as bright as the sun above, masking all of the light the rest of the talents shine with his ability and he's the same age as you when you were 19. Would you worship him?"

Dongfang Bai fell into silence. The rest also experienced a slight change of expression.

"Lin Huang's existence isn't something bad. There's no need for us to be intimidated by him. Even if Lin Huang isn't the one conquering the world, it might be Zhang Huang, Liu Huang or Li Huang. It's just how reality is. A person will show up at the right time in the right position as the leader of the new era. He'll leave his mark in his time and people will remember him for years to come," Jiang Shan continued.

"You sure speak highly of him. Are you trying to boost his ego?" said the committee chairman Zhao Lingming while smiling.

"What I said is what I really feel. You must know that I was even less significant than his finger when I was 19," Jiang Shan ridiculed himself.

"Alright, let's stop talking about Lin Huang. We might as well call off the meeting with Dynasty and agree to all of their conditions directly if we continue to talk about him," Dongfang Bai scorned.

"It's almost time to go. I think the people from Dynasty are already waiting at the meeting room." Ran Ning changed the subject right away.

They then stopped chatting and headed to the meeting room.

Lin Huang and the other three had been waiting in the meeting room much earlier.

When it was almost 9 a.m., they began the meeting officially after a moment of chatting.

The Union Government chief, Jiang Shan, was the first to speak, "Emperor Lin, you were saying that the main bargaining power you guys have is the authority to the ruins and sites yesterday. We'd like to know how many are there going to be."

"Royal's grade-0 trial zone is the equivalent of grade-1 to grade-5 ruins and sites in our world. I can give you authorization to 300 of them. Meanwhile, a grade-1 trial zone is equivalent to grade-6 ruins and sites in our world. I can give you authorization to 30 of them. However, the condition is that we'll take a 30% commission from the items that you guys obtained from the trial zones," Lin Huang named his condition directly.

Apart from the restriction whereby only Royal's affiliate organizations were allowed to enter the trial zones, members with rank-A authorization actually had another privilege which was to invite a maximum of three people who were not from the affiliate organizations into the trial zones.

However, the guests would not obtain any points from the killings in the trial zones. Royal's internal market would not be opened to them either. The only thing they could bring back would be the monster carcasses and the treasures from the trial zones.

They probably gave such a privilege because Royal did not want their elite members to be too introverted. They hoped that the members could socialize like normal people and even work with other organizations instead of limiting themselves to being acquittances with others.

Meanwhile, the authorization to the ruins and sites Lin Huang was offering the Union Government was actually a privilege given to rank-A Royalties.

Chapter 1161: He's Trending Again!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Lin Huang offered acess to 330 trial zones as soon as he spoke. It was almost half of all of the ruins and sites in the entire gravel world. Moreover, the number surpassed the total number of ruins and sites that the Union Government owned.

The meeting room fell into silence once again hearing the offer Lin Huang gave.

The Union Government was mentally prepared for Lin Huang to definitely offer a high number but never had they thought it would be so high. Although Jiang Shan and the rest were mentally prepared, they were shocked when they heard the actual number Lin Huang offered.

If they agreed to that offer, it would mean that the number of sites and ruins that the Union Government could explore could be multiplied.

"If you guys need, I can pick those trial zones that have just been opened," Lin Huang added, "But there's something that I must tell you in advance.

"Although there are many Royal trial zones, there are also many Royalties' affiliate organizations. Therefore, it's very normal for you guys to bump into other organizations who would enter the trial zones the same time that you do. Even if those were new trial zones, the organizations under the Royalties might've explored and taken the resources.

"Royal doesn't prohibit fights in trial zones. One can even say that they encourage them. So, when your people bump into other organizations in the trial zones, don't show mercy when you have to fight. Otherwise, you'll end up being the one killed."

"I understand that. We'll pass that message down then." Jiang Shan nodded and proceeded, "I've looked at the list you sent to Guan Zhong yesterday, and we've discussed it and came to an agreement."

Jiang Shan read out while projecting a list, "The first condition is that you guys requested to have access to the union organization's trading channels. We're okay with that. It can be opened to Dynasty freely.

"The second condition is that you guys requested to enjoy the same privileges we offer to the union organizations. We can promise you that as well."

"However, we can't agree to give access to union information to Dynasty. The most that we can do is give Dynasty access to public information, not the access to the confidential stuff.

"The same goes for the access of books and documents of all sorts. We can only open a part of it to Dynasty. We can give access to cultivation books under god-level, but not to other books, documents, and confidential stuff."

"As for the access to ancient sites opened to Emperor Lin alone, we can do that for you but the duration will only be 30 days. The access will be revoked as soon as 30 days have passed.

"We can also give a month of access to the highest authorization in the Central Library to Emperor Lin. However, you can't transfer or record the methods in the books to others."

There were over 20 lists on the projection. Those were the conditions that Lin Huang and Bloody had discussed and listed.

Among the conditions, there were only merely a few that were completely accepted.

Most of the requests were not rejected by the Union Government directly. Instead, they accepted them with their own terms and conditions.

The Union Government's way of handling the matter was completely within Bloody's expectations.

In reality, Lin Huang could see where the Union Government drew the line in the list. Almost all of the conditions that touched the union organization's confidentiality were rejected instantly.

Huang Tianfu and Huang Baiyu were quiet. In reality, they were pretty satisfied with the first round of discussion with the Union Government. However, Bloody and Lin Huang wanted to fight for more.

Soon, Bloody who was hundreds of meters away contacted Lin Huang. "The Union Government has drawn the line. I think they've shown it on purpose to prevent us from putting the union organization's confidentiality on the table for the next few rounds of discussions. If that's the limit, we don't have to step across their baseline over and over again. We just have to compromise on some of the conditions as long as we get what we should fight for."

Lin Huang spoke again after communicating with Bloody on their consciousness for a while, "Chief Jiang, to be honest, I see your sincerity in working with us. However, there are some conditions that I hope to bargain with you.

"The first one, access to information. If you're only giving us access to public information, that has not much difference versus not giving us access to it at all.

"Everybody knows that most underground organization members have a Emperor's Heart Ring with a fake identity. Moreover, the fake identities are basically members of the union organizations including the Union Government, the Hunter Association, and Adventurer Paradise. We can look at the public information open to the union with a fake identity ring. Therefore, the first condition that you guys offer serves no difference compared to not giving us anything.

"We know it's pretty impossible for you guys to give elder-level authorization to us. After all, an elder-level authorization would fall under core authorization. However, we're hoping to fight for transcendent-level access, even if it's only holy fire-level."

Jiang Shan turned his head to look at his people after hearing that.

He then turned his head back to look at Lin Huang after a simple communication with the remaining seven people through voice transmission. "Please give us some time to deliberate."

"Please do." Lin Huang nodded lightly while picking up the cup and taking a sip of tea. He waited for them to discuss among themselves patiently.

Meanwhile, Bloody's voice came into his head again. "There will be two possible results later. One of them could be they're going to change the authorization. If that's the case, we'll pick something that they'll most probably disagree with. The other result would be for them to disagree to change it. If that's the case, there's no need for us to insist on this and compromise with another condition that we're eager to realize."

Approximately seven to eight minutes later, the Union Government finally came up with their decision.

Jiang Shan and the rest who gathered around fixed their attention back to the table. Jiang Shan finally spoke again, "I'm so sorry, we can't give you access. As for the fake identities that Emperor Lin mentioned, we'll look into it. The public union information is only open to union organizations. It's not for non-members to pry."

"Alright, since you guys have come to that decision, I won't waste any more time dwelling on that. Let's talk about the next condition." Lin Huang shrugged and skipped to the next condition promptly.

Both sides discussed back and forth for the entire day and finally came to a preliminary agreement. In reality, the progress was considered swift for a collaboration between top organizations.

After the direction and conditions of the collaboration came to an agreement, Lin Huang and the rest stayed another two days in First City to discuss the details.

Including the first day that was wasted, they spent a whole four days to finally officially sign the agreement.

Lin Huang and Jiang Shan decided to release a statement together as soon as the agreement was signed.

The statement that was posted on the Union Government's official account was, 'It's a historical day today! The Union Government is collaborating with the neutral organization, Dynasty!"

The attached picture was the last page of signatures on the agreement as well as a photo of the upper echelons of the Union Government and Dynasty.

Meanwhile, Lin Huang was much more casual with his statement. 'Happy collaboration ]~()~*'

The photo he attached was the photo taken with Lin Xin and the Union Government chief, Jiang Shan, as well as the cover of both agreements.

Lin Huang who was still trending on top ten rose to No. 1 within less than three minutes of the statement being made. He became the trending No. 1 again!

Chapter 1162: Give Me Your Report Within Three Days!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

To avoid having interviews with media, Lin Huang and the rest returned to Emperor City as soon as the agreement was signed.

Lin Huang browsed the websites on his Emperor's Heart Ring as soon as he returned to Emperor City. He realized all of the headlines on the news pages was the collaboration between the Union Government and Dynasty.

The comment section below the news was on fire. The number of comments were growing almost every second.

Although everyone knew that Lin Huang led Dynasty to the Union Government headquarters in First City three days ago, many of them looked down on Dynasty whereby they thought the discussion would most probably come to no avail.

After all, Dynasty used to be an underground organization back then. Many of their members were still on the union organization's blacklist until today. The two organizations were on different pages no matter whether it was in the past or now. Theoretically, it was pretty impossible for the Union Government to come to an agreement with Dynasty.

Although Dynasty was a top organization in this world, compared to the Union Government, they were on a different level. Many people thought that the Union Government would have everything that Dynasty had. Therefore, there was no need for the Union Government to work with Dynasty at all.

However, the outsiders had no idea that the bargaining power that Lin Huang offered was so handsome that the Union Government could not reject it at all.

Being a neutral organization aside, the Union Government might be unable to decline such tempting offer even if Dynasty was still an underground organization. Naturally, if that was the case, they would definitely not make their collaboration known to the public. Instead, they would only work secretly.

Apart from the news sites, the collaboration between the Union Government and Dynasty became the No. 1 or No. 2 topic on all the forums and social media sites. Lin Huang was even trending as No. 1 on some sites.

Clearly, people took note of Lin Huang and the collaboration between the Union Government and Dynasty.

Lin Huang realized that his personal social media account experienced a boost in fans again.

On the social media site that he paid the most attention to, his fans that were originally over 50 million had grown to 70 million and was still growing.

Within an hour of him posting the statement, there were over two million comments and at least 10 million likes on his post.

Lin Huang scanned through the comments roughly. Most of them basically supported what he did. Many new cultivators began following him because of the collaboration that had gone through this time. It proved that Dynasty was indeed a neutral organization because it was impossible for the Union Government to work with an underground organization. At least, it was impossible for them to do that publicly.

Moreover, working with the Union Government publicly would be the equivalent to drawing a line with the underground organizations. It was a different story from merely saying that Dynasty was a neutral organization like Lin Huang had before.

Naturally, there were criticisms in the comments too.

Some of them criticized them for standing on the underground organization's side, saying that Lin Huang and Dynasty were traitors to the underground organization. Some of them were condemning them for taking the union organization's side, accusing Lin Huang and Dynasty doing it as a show and just pretending on the surface. After all, they were still an underground organization deep down in their bones with a neutral organization's cover over their skin.

Lin Huang did not respond to those jokers. He only looked through the comments and skipped through the pages, not even bothering to read the details. It was not that he was a chill person, but he just thought it was not necessary for him to waste time on those jokers.

He closed the website after looking at a few pages of comments. He sat with his legs crossed and began cultivating Seamless.

However, he had no idea that the collaboration between Dynasty and the Union Government which he made possible had become heated discussions in many top organizations.

On the union organization's side, they were most curious about what bargaining power did Dynasty exactly have to make the Union Government agree to work with them. Moreover, some of the organizations heard some of the conditions and found out about the access the Union Government gave to Dynasty.

Some union organizations looked for the Union Government committee and deputy chief directly to object to the collaboration.

However, Jiang Shan and the rest were expecting to hear different opinions, so they carried out the solutions that they had prepared.

The underground organizations were also in heated discussions. However, most of them were discussing to take revenge on Dynasty. They thought that Dynasty working with the Union Government was a betrayal.

"They used to be one of the top three underground organizations and they're kissing the Union Government's a*s now?! Dynasty is just pure disgusting!"

"Who do they think the underground organizations are? They dismissed themselves just like that. Did we agree to that?!"

"They kept saying that they're going to the neutral side and we didn't say anything because we know it was just something that they'd say. I thought we could just laugh about it, but they're ignoring the other underground organizations completely just to work with the Union Government. We don't care about anything that you're trying to stir but this is just stabbing a knife into our backs!"

"Dynasty is too much! We must teach them a lesson this time! Especially that Emperor, we must teach him a good lesson. He has been stirring things up ever since he was appointed!"

Apart from the union organizations and the underground organizations, the neutral organizations were also in heated discussions about the collaboration between the Union Government and Dynasty.

This happened in Shadow Killer's headquarters in the No. 1 safety zone of foothold No.1A11 in Silhouette City.

"What Dynasty did this time is pretty interesting," commented a man in white as he smiled slightly while watching the news projected before him.

A shadow on the ground became distorted and slowly transformed into a big, black mouth. It then spoke, "We've collaborated with the Union Government hundreds of years ago. Besides the Union Government, we're also collaborating with the Hunter Association and Adventurer Paradise."

"That's different. We're collaborating with the union organizations secretly. Dynasty announced their collaboration to the world. They're not afraid of letting everyone know about it."

"Perhaps the current Emperor of Dynasty is a dumb*ass. It makes sense for him to do such a thing without putting any consequences into consideration," the big, black mouth spoke again.

"No, Dynasty's three Grand Dukes are all smart, especially Huang Tianfu. Not many in the underground organizations can compare to him when he does something with motive. It's impossible that he doesn't know the consequences of doing this. Even if that Emperor is dumb, it's impossible for Huang Tianfu to allow him to come up with such a stupid plan. Him going to the Union Government with the Emperor for the discussion proves that three of the Grand Dukes approved of that. So, the only possible explanation is that Huang Tianfu knows Dynasty has the ability to handle the consequences."

Meanwhile, in foothold No. 2A13 of Freedom City in the No. 2 safety zone, 13 people sat at the table in the meeting room at the neutral heretics headquarters.

Among the 13 of them, some of them were listening to music with earphones on, some were digging their nose, some were rubbing their feet with their leg up, some were biting their nails and some were sleeping while snoring…

The person who sat in the main seat was a man who wore a black robe covering his body and had a terrifying white mask on his face

The man removed his mask and revealed a harmless face that seemed like a baby's. He looked like he was only in his early 20s.

"Hey, can you guys at least pretend to be serious? We're in a meeting now!" insisted the black-robed man while slamming the table.

"Boss, you can just say what you've got to say. There's no need to slam the table. We're not deaf," complained the man who was rubbing his feet before he sniffed his fingers. He then revealed a disgusted expression.

"I'll chop your legs off!" the black-robed man growled fiercely.

'Boss, don't be angry. You look like a baby who is upset. That makes you lose all of your power." The middle-aged man with stubs had half of his little finger up his nostril. His voice was muffled when he spoke.

"It's all your fault! You guys always half-a*s everything you do. We were supposed to be the first neutral organization to collaborate with the Union Government. Now, Dynasty has done it first!" The black-robed man pointed his finger accusingly at the people.

"Boss, you can't blame us for that. We have everything that the Union Government has. What can we offer to work with them?" said the fatty who was sleeping and snoring earlier, yawning while looking sleepy.

"I don't care. We can do what Dynasty did! You guys figure out what can we offer to work with the Union Government when the meeting adjourns! I'll give you three days. Each of you will have to write a report! You know what's the consequence for not passing it up on time!"

Chapter 1163: Misery

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After the discussion with the Union Government was over, Lin Huang went back being a hermit crab on the second day he returned to Emperor City.

However, his Emperor's Heart Ring began vibrating when he had just started cultivating Seamless early in the morning.

The interference did not bother Lin Huang since he was not in closed-door cultivation. He did not turn off the communication function in his Emperor's Heart Ring.

The reason being he knew that the collaboration between Dynasty and the Union Government would definitely create a stir. He was most probably needed to handle it himself.

As expected, it was Huang Tianfu who was calling.

Lin Huang picked up the call peeping at the name popped up on the communication device.

Huang Tianfu's full body was soon projected before Lin Huang. However, he looked bothered.

"What's wrong?" Lin Huang knew that it was pretty impossible for Huang Tianfu to contact him if there was nothing important. It was a consistent relationship that he had built with Huang Tianfu.

"Misery has just sent an invitation. They'll visit us in three days."

"Misery?" Lin Huang could not help but raise his brow after hearing that.

Naturally, Lin Huang was familiar with the name Misery. It was the No. 1 underground organization in the entire gravel world.

He had no idea how powerful Misery was. All he knew roughly was that the No. 1 rank Misery had been sitting in for hundreds of years could not be shaken by Dynasty at all.

Among the top three underground organizations, Dynasty and Inferno had been fighting for No. 2 all this time.

"How powerful exactly is Misery? They can't compare with the Union Government. Am I right?" Lin Huang asked Huang Tianfu.

"Misery is a little like the enhanced version of Saint. Compared to Saint members who are avid believers of their god, Misery worships the Death God. The Misery followers believe that life is like cruising on a sea of misery, whereby death is the only salvation and relief. They think that killing is an act to help others to achieve salvation and relief, which also cleanses their own sin."

"If death is the only salvation and relief, why don't they commit suicide?" Lin Huang could not help but ask solemnly.

"Misery followers think that committing suicide is a depraving behavior. Not only will they not be salvaged or relieved, but they'll also drown in the sea of misery after they die and they won't be relieved forever. Any form of suicide isn't encouraged, including hiring someone to kill themselves or setting someone up to kill them. All of those are considered suicide."

"What double standards of logic." Lin Huang pouted. Killing others would mean offering salvation and relief, but committing suicide would put them in the sea of misery. No matter what, they had the right to an explanation whereby they could make up anything they wanted.

"Due to the high threshold to enter Misery, their members have a compelling ability. Basically, all of their members are genius powerhouses because they worship the Death God, which makes their followers fearless of death, resulting in them having extreme cultivation and battle techniques. Only a handful of people with the same combat strength are a match for them. Their average personal ability ranks No. 1 in the entire gravel world. There's a rumor saying that Misery has a way to get their members to virtual god-level. They might have more virtual god-level members than the Union Government does. Apart from having fewer members compared to the Union Government, Misery can definitely suppress the Union Government and all of the other organizations in other aspects.

"If their average personal abilities and top combat strength are more powerful than the Union Government, then indeed, their overall ability is much more powerful than Dynasty." Lin Huang nodded lightly and asked Huang Tianfu, "Has Dynasty encountered Misery before?"

"We don't have much contact, but we've encountered them a few times." Huang Tianfu nodded.

"What do you think? Are they as powerful as what the rumor says?"

"I personally think that the rumor is real," Huang Tianfu answered, "They have a minimum of three virtual god-level powerhouses and the most powerful one is on at least Virtual God rank-3."

"Naturally, Misery sent us the invitation right when we're in the middle of the heat. They want to show us who the boss is. The person who will come visit us three days later isn't someone to be underestimated. Master Emperor, should we get Mr. Fu…?"

"Don't worry, I'll work something out." Naturally, Lin Huang would not alert Mr. Fu about a rare Godhead that was coming his way. "I hope they send many people here with higher combat strength so that the effect of warning our enemies will be more impactful."

After hanging up on Huang Tianfu's call, Lin Huang began cultivating Seamless without any distractions.

Meanwhile, outside the Emperor Palace, the access that the Union Government promised was granted one after another. Dynasty soon began giving all sorts of access to their members.

By then, the Dynasty members gained a new level of trust in Lin Huang.

On the other hand, Huang Tianfu was communicating with the Union Government's business partners to purchase broken Godheads and Godheads for Lin Huang.

Time flew by, and two days passed. On the evening of the third day, which was the day before Misery would visit Dynasty officially, a thread on the black market forum blew up.

The title of the thread was 'Dynasty Will Be Past Tense After Tomorrow'.

The thread seemed to have been posted by someone from Misery because apart from Lin Huang and the three Grand Dukes from Dynasty, only a few of the upper echelons knew that Misery was visiting. However, the thread revealed the invitation, saying that Dynasty had received the invitation from Misery two days ago and that they would visit the next day.

Although there was no photo of the invitation attached in the thread, judging by the descriptions, the thread starter obviously knew about the visit.

However, although the thread created a stir, not many people believed it.

After all, the contents of the thread were merely words. There was no proof to show that the exposé was real.

Although the news was unreliable, many people supported it.

They commented that Misery should teach Dynasty a lesson, show them the consequence of being a traitor.

Some were targeting Lin Huang, saying Misery should teach Lin Huang, the daring brat a good lesson.

Soon, the screenshot of the thread was posted on all the social media sites, causing heated discussions among cultivators.

Because Misery had been quiet for over ten years, many rookies had never heard of it. There was very little information about them on the Heart Network too.

Many people were asking the same question. "What kind of organization is Misery exactly?"

Some of the people from the underground organizations and some senior cultivators began researching about Misery.

However, many of the cultivators were in disdain after learning about some stuff that Misery did. They became supporting Dynasty.

"I thought it was some amazing organization, but it's just a radical terrorist organization. I really don't know why such an organization exists."

"Killing others is a relief to them but committing suicide is prohibited. Such double standards make me want to laugh."

"Such underground organizations are more disgusting as you learn more about them. It seems like Dynasty is better since they decided to get out of the dark and go towards the light. Great job!"

"What times are they living in to be sending an invitation out? Do they really think they're underground bosses?!"

"If this thread is real, I hope that Lin Huang and Dynasty will be able to brave through the disaster tomorrow."

Apart from the netizens, many organizations were following the issue too.

In reality, the top organizations knew that the thread was real without having to look at the proof because they had heard about it since the beginning.

Even the Union Government was following the matter.

"Should we do something about it?" Dongfang Bai asked Jiang Shan.

"This is a conflict between Dynasty and Misery," Jiang Shan responded calmly.

"What if they really put Dynasty to an end?" Dongfang Bai asked while frowning, "Wouldn't that mean that the collaboration we had would go to waste?"

Jiang Shan lowered his head to look at the projected screenshot.

"Since they've decided to collaborate with us, they should have the ability to bear the risk of working with us. If they didn't consider all the risks that might happen or if they weren't prepared for this prior to the discussion, we can only say that they're not the people we want to work with."

"I believe Emperor Lin and the rest should know very well that taking the first step to work with us isn't difficult. The tricky part is to maintain collaboration. If they manage to maintain it, everything will be smooth-sailing in the future. If they can't, it'll just be a dream."

Chapter 1164: A Thoughtful Lamb

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

It was at the beginning of winter during mid-December in Emperor City. The temperature was between 5 to 10 degrees Celsius.

Many citizens began wearing thin coats while the cultivators donned long pants and jackets.

White frost could occasionally be seen on the damp ground in the morning while the nights were chilly.

To the commoners, 15th December was just an ordinary day. It was the same for most people in Emperor City.

However, almost all of the top organizations in the entire gravel world had their attention on Emperor City that was tens of thousands of miles away from them because something important was about to happen there on that day.

The underground organization that ranked No. 1 throughout hundreds of years was 'visiting' Dynasty.

Everyone who was following this matter knew that 'visit' was just a nice term. In reality, it was a fight.

It would not only be just a fight between Misery and Dynasty, but it was also a fight for order.

If Misery won this match, it would not only mean that Dynasty would be destroyed, but it would also mean that the old order could not be broken, and there would not be a second underground organization who would confront them for at least hundreds of years. There would also not be a second neutral organization who would work with the Union Government.

If Dynasty won the match, Misery would be defeated and a new order would be in place. By then, more organizations would become neutral and more neutral organizations would work with the Union Government. One could say that Dynasty would begin a brand new era as soon as they won the match.

That was the reason why all the top organizations were following this incident closely.

The minor organizations and cultivators who were following this matter did not look that far into the future. All they thought was that the match between these two top organizations would be interesting.

To them, Misery was the No. 1 giant while Dynasty was the latest talk of the town. This match had to be an intense one. In reality, they had no idea exactly how powerful Misery was, and neither did they know what trump card Dynasty was holding.

The three Grand Dukes and another two virtual god-level dukes were preparing for the day to come.

Meanwhile, Lin Huang had been shutting himself away in the Emperor Palace.

He was not nervous at all and had been cultivating Seamless throughout the past few days. He even had a faint feeling that his Divine Telekinesis was improving a little each day.

By the time it was 8 a.m., Huang Tianfu finally could not wait any longer and called Lin Huang.

In reality, he had sent Lin Huang a message past six in the morning. He told him that Misery would arrive before 9 a.m., but Lin Huang did not respond.

However, Lin Huang hung up the second the call was connected.

Huang Tianfu received a message a moment later.

"Alright, I'll get out after I take a shower and have changed."

The reason why he had been dragging and refused to leave the Emperor Palace until now was that he was 200 threads away from reaching 50,000 telekinetic threads at 6 a.m. As a man who had slight OCD, he only insisted on getting out after he had broken through to 50,000 telekinetic threads. In reality, he paced himself so he would only take two hours the most. He was sure he would not be late to meet Misery.

Lin Huang opened his eyes all of a sudden less than ten seconds after hanging up Huang Tianfu's video call request with his telekinetic threads.

He had finally consolidated the last thread for the 50,000 telekinetic threads!

Lin Huang only sent Huang Tianfu the message after recalling the telekinetic threads back into his body. He then got up and walked to the bathroom.

After washing up and changing, he walked out of the Emperor Palace feeling fresh. He lowered his head to check the time. It was 8.18 a.m.

"It's still a little early. I have time for breakfast," Lin Huang mumbled softly and disappeared in a flash.

He arrived at the fat aunty's dumpling store when he appeared again. However, he was speechless to see the long queue at the entrance.

"Such good business!"

"Master Emperor, haven't you had breakfast?" the fat aunty greeted him in a friendly manner. "What would you like? I'll get it for you."

The couple knew Lin Huang's identity, but they did not really understand what the Emperor meant. They thought he was a governor of some sort. Although they respected him, they treated him as an ordinary person since they were already familiar with each other by now.

Everybody else gawked at Lin Huang after the fat aunty said that.

A few of the customers were cultivators who came from foreign lands to check out the dumplings. They began taking videos secretly as soon as they saw Lin Huang.

Nonetheless, Lin Huang did not stop them when he noticed that since he had gotten used to people filming him secretly.

Initially, he wanted to cut the queue after hearing what the fat aunty said. He did not do that when he realized that everyone in the queue was staring at him in respect, and there were two kids in the queue too.

"Don't worry about me. I'll queue," Lin Huang said and went to the back of the line. Including the two kids, there were 14 people before him. He looked at the time to see that it was 8.20 a.m. He estimated the time and figured he could still make it, so he decided to wait patiently.

In the beginning, the speed of the queue went smoothly. However, a young lady could not make up her mind and took up quite some time. Later on, there was a kid who wanted to have fried buns and fried eggs. The fat uncle started frying the buns, leaving the fat aunty alone which slowed the line down.

It was almost 8.50 a.m. when it was Lin Huang's turn to order.

After ordering two servings of dumplings, Lin Huang turned around and realized that all of the tables were basically taken. There was only one seat left at a table for two. Nobody dared to sit there because there was a hunk with a scar on his face sitting at the table. He was bald and appeared fierce.

Lin Huang walked straight to him. "Is this seat taken?"

In reality, he sensed that the hunk was a cultivator and had rather high combat strength. He was a transcendent on high immortal-level.

"N-No." the hunk had been filming Lin Huang secretly. When he saw Lin Huang walk over, he panicked.

"You can film me if you want. There's no need to hide," Lin Huang said after seeing the hunk cover his left hand with his right, revealing the camera shutter on his Emperor's Heart Ring between his fingers.

"Can I do that?" The hunk did not expect Lin Huang to be so easygoing.

"You guys would still film me even if I said no. There are already over ten cameras pointing at me now, so it doesn't make a difference if you're filming me too," responded Lin Huang and he began eating the dumplings with the dipping sauce.

The scar-faced hunk sitting across him could not help but ask when he had eaten half the dumplings, "Isn't Misery visiting Dynasty today? Why are you still having breakfast at such a time?"

"Is it 9 a.m. already?" Lin Huang peeped at the time and asked casually.

"But… shouldn't you be getting ready?" the scar-faced hunk asked again, "They're from Misery after all."

"What should I prepare?" Lin Huang asked him back. He then shoved the last dumpling in the first basket and began munching on it quickly.

The scar-faced hunk could not answer that question. He could not help but question again when Lin Huang devoured the second basket of dumplings a moment later, "Do you have the confidence to handle the crisis?"

"Crisis? I don't understand what you're saying. All I'm seeing is a thoughtful lamb hopping onto my chopping board."

Report chapter

Three guests arrived at the guest lounge at Dynasty's headquarters at 8.50 a.m.

The person who was leading them was a young man who looked about 20 years of age. He wore a white robe and had long hair that reached his waist. His face was so beautiful that he looked like a lady.

Huang Tianfu and the rest sensed clearly that this young man's combat strength aura was imperial-level purple gold-rank. However, he was two years older than Lin Huang at the most by the looks of it.

Of the other two gray-robed men, one was muscular while the other was skinny and slender.

They stressed the Virtual Gods Huang Baiyu and Huang Haoyang out even though they did not release their aura intentionally. Huang Baiyu and Huang Haoyang could faintly sense danger from them.

The duo could see the fear in Huang Baiyu and Huang Haoyang when they locked eyes. The two gray-robed visitors were at least mid-level Virtual Gods. In fact, they might be even more powerful than that.

The white-robed young man had a slight smile on his face as he observed the people from Dynasty quietly.

He only fixed his eyes on Huang Baiyu and Huang Haoyang for a moment and peeped at Huang Tianfu, Huang Wunan, and Huang Tufu. However, the three perfect-stage demigod-level Grand Dukes did not interest him at all.

He glanced at the three Grand Dukes and then at the few Dynasty upper echelons. However, he soon looked away, losing interest after seeing that they were demigods.

A sense of disdain flashed through Huang Tianfu's eyes but he asked with a smile on his face, "May I know how to address the three of you?"

"I'm sorry. We forgot to introduce ourselves. Your humble one is Ku Zhen." The white-robed young man put down the teacup in his hand and said while smiling, "These two next to me are Jie Sha and Zhi Lu."

Huang Tianfu and the rest experienced a slight change of expression upon hearing that. They did not know much about Misery, but they knew that the members would remove their names and given nicknames since they joined the organization.

Meanwhile, although they had never heard of the nicknames Jie Sha and Zhi Lu, they knew that the nicknames that began with 'Jie' and 'Zhi' were the earliest batch of Misery members.

For Ku Zhen who had a nickname that began with 'Ku', he was like the Holy Son from Saint. In Misery's terms, they were called Bodhisattva. Those who would be chosen as Bodhisattvas would have to be at least supreme geniuses. They might even have abilities that were comparable with the Four Princes on the same combat strength.

"So, it's the Bodhisattva and two seniors." Huang Tianfu soon adjusted his emotions.

Naturally, the white-robed young man Ku Zhen noticed Huang Tianfu's change in emotions. He was quite impressed by his control. "I see you guys have done your homework."

Huang Tianfu looked calm, but in reality, he was panicking.

It was a few minutes to 9 a.m., but Lin Huang had yet to show up until now. Moreover, Misery obviously came prepared. He was afraid that Dynasty might not be able to go through this easily.

As the atmosphere in Dynasty headquarters was incredibly intense, many cultivators in the cultivation world began discussing Lin Huang again.

There was no other reason why that happened no other than the scar-faced hunk sitting across Lin Huang who live-streamed Lin Huang devouring the dumplings and airing their conversation.

"Emperor Lin, you gobbling those dumplings makes me want to eat dumplings too."

"Which dumpling store is Emperor Lin eating at? Please provide the address and the store name!"

"Can you gluttons be more serious? The babe behind Emperor Lin is quite pretty. Please provide her contact number!"

Naturally, some of them were talking about serious stuff.

"I feel like Emperor Lin really doesn't care about Misery. It doesn't look like he's pretending.

"He has a meeting with Misery at 9 a.m. but he's still eating dumplings at 8.55 a.m. How serious exactly is he?"

"Somebody took a photo outside Dynasty headquarters. The people from Misery have entered the headquarters. And he's here eating dumplings (｡౪｡)"

"Emperor Lin, it's time to go back to Dynasty. Otherwise, your lair will be gone!"

"Who cares about the lair? To a glutton, eating is the topmost priority!"

Lin Huang glanced at the time when he was done with the two baskets of dumplings. It was almost 8.59 a.m.

He stood up and walked to the fat aunty to pay his bill calmly. He then spoke to the scar-faced hunk and the rest, "I'm making a move. Enjoy your breakfast." He vanished from where he was as soon as he was done speaking.

It was 9 a.m. sharp when he appeared in Dynasty's meeting room in a flash.

He looked at the time projected on his Emperor's Heart Ring just when he managed to stand still. "Ah, I'm on time."

He turned off the projection from his Emperor's Heart Ring and walked straight to the main seat in the meeting room. He took his seat and began observing the three people from Misery.

The young leader who wore a white robe was so beautiful and angelic that he did not look like a man. He had imperial-level purple gold-rank combat strength but his ability might not be that low.

The other two men dressed plainly, but Lin Huang noticed they had combat strengths of Virtual God rank-5 and Virtual God rank-6. In this gravel world, they were considered supreme powerhouses whose combat strength ranked just lower than Mr. Fu's.

Lin Huang was suspicious of the duo's combat strengths because theoretically, demigods integrating a Virtual God rank-3's Godhead should be the limit. The success rate of integrating Virtual God rank-4's Godhead was almost zero. However, the duo's combat strengths were Virtual God rank-5 and Virtual God rank-6.

It would mean that either Misery had found a way to achieve virtual god-level or they had special techniques to integrate Godheads. A gleam of judgment flashed through Lin Huang's eyes as he thought about this point.

"Yours truly is the Emperor of Dynasty, Lin Huang. I would like to represent Dynasty to welcome all of you for visiting."

The three of them from Misery focused their eyes on Lin Huang as soon as he appeared.

Everyone was curious about this No. 1 genius of the era who was also the Emperor of Dynasty. Even Misery's Bodhisattva was no exception.

Ku Zhen squinted slightly as he observed Lin Huang. He was coming up with an estimation secretly, which was his ability to find out about someone through observation.

"He has just attained imperial-level, but his aura is rather odd. He doesn't feel like an ordinary imperial-level black gold-rank. He has compelling Sword Dao in him, so I'm guessing he has reached level-6. He has powerful telekinesis too. He's almost at the peak of imperial-level. That's strange. How come he's got no Imperial Censor aura?"

Ku Zhen nodded with a light smile at Lin Huang after his attempt to read him was to no avail. "I'm Ku Zhen. I've heard so much about you, Emperor, and we've finally met today."

"So, you're the Bodhisattva. You're too kind." Lin Huang was too lazy to do his homework but he had gotten Bloody to do it for him. Bloody researched Misery a bit, so it was only natural that she knew about the Bodhisattva.

Huang Tianfu told Lin Huang about the other two through voice transmission. However, upon seeing that Ku Zhen did not introduce them, they did not take the initiative to introduce themselves.

Lin Huang nodded quietly and lifted his head to look at Ku Zhen who was sitting across him. "I won't be beating around the bush so that we won't waste each other's time. I don't think you, the Bodhisattva, and the other two seniors happen to pass by the headquarters for nothing. You didn't state the reason in the invitation. So, why are you really here?!"

Chapter 1166: Sparing Nobody!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Huang Tianfu and the rest felt helpless. They thought they could test Misery for a little instead of turning against each other so soon. However, there was no way they could turn the situation around since Lin Huang said that.

Beyond Misery's expectations, Lin Huang went straight into the subject.

To them, Dynasty was at a loss. Usually people who were at a loss would not state their opinions in a discussion. Instead, they would beat around the bush to test where the one with the upper hand stood.

Since Lin Huang had asked about their intentions in such a straightforward way, Ku Zhen thought he saved a lot of his effort.

"Since you've asked, Emperor Lin, I shan't beat around the bush and I'll say whatever I have in mind."

Ku Zhen paused and continued when he saw Lin Huang nod at him, "We hope that Dynasty will cancel their collaboration with the Union Government."

Ku Zhen had been staring at Lin Huang when he said that. He wanted to see what kind of reaction Lin Huang would have.

Lin Huang only smiled lightly. "Don't you think you guys are sticking your noses into our business?"

"Misery is the underground boss. It was in the past, and it still is now. You guys working with the Union Government broke the underground organizations' rules. This is under our jurisdiction," Ku Zhen explained.

"Dynasty is now a neutral organization. We've got nothing to do with underground organizations. I don't care where you stand among the underground organizations, but you can't do anything to us," Lin Huang warned, not buying it at all.

"You guys can't dismiss yourself from the underground world as you wish. Dynasty will still be an underground organization as long as Misery hasn't given permission for you to do so. Dynasty will still be under Misery's jurisdiction. The notice you guys announced doesn't count. Such behavior isn't in line with our underground organizations' rules." Ku Zhen began denying Dynasty's power of statement.

"It's our business whether to dismiss ourselves from the underground world or not. It has nothing to do with other organizations. I don't care if Misery agrees with that or not, but we've already done that. It's a fact. The Union Government working with us publicly has proven that they approve of us as a neutral organization."

Lin Huang paused before speaking again, "If Misery has something to say about us dismissing ourselves from the underground world, you should've come to us when we announced it. You shouldn't be doing what you're doing now, telling us that we're breaking the rules after we've made the announcement four months ago."

"You guys only announced it with a written notice four months ago. Nobody would've taken that seriously. Do you think we should visit all the organizations that want to dismiss themselves from the underground world one by one? We wouldn't have come if you guys didn't work with the Union Government and broke the rule." Ku Zhen retaliated against what Lin Huang from through Misery's angle.

"Whether you agree with that or not, Dynasty is a neutral organization now and we've come to an agreement to work with the Union Government. Everything has been set, so you can't change the fact even if you've come all the way here."

"You can change the facts. I suggest you think it over again, Emperor Lin." A gleam of coldness flashed through Ku Zhen's eyes.

"We, Dynasty, will never take our words back." Lin Huang shook his head and declined immediately.

"Why are we still wasting our time talking to them?" Jie Sha, who was sitting aside, finally could not take it any along and revealed a ferocious expression. "Let's just kill them!"

The skinny Zhi Lu next to him held Jie Sha's arm and looked at Lin Huang calmly.

"You have two choices. One is to cancel the collaboration between Dynasty and the Union Government and dismiss yourself as a neutral organization. Release a notice within three days to inform the world. The second choice is to end Dynasty from this world entirely, sparing nobody's lives."

Huang Tianfu and the rest had a slight change of expression as soon as Zhi Lu said that.

Lin Huang was the only one who maintained a light smile on his face. He seemed to not take Misery's threat seriously at all. "You're pretty old. I can't believe that you're so immature."

Ku Zhen, who had been observing Lin Huang secretly, was suspicious of Lin Huang's reaction. His detective ability found out that Lin Huang did not fake his confidence. However, he could not figure out what kind of trump card did Lin Huang exactly possess.

'The only trump card he has now might be Mr. Fu. If Mr. Fu is at his peak, we might we scared of him. However, currently, Mr. Fu's ability is merely on Virtual God rank-4 or rank-5 at the most.'

"You're seeking death, brat!" Jie Sha yelled at Lin Huang before Zhi Lu could speak.

"Huang Tianfu, we forgive this brat for not knowing the rule. Are you guys unaware of the rule as well?" Meanwhile, Zhi Lu ignored Lin Huang completely and looked at Huang Tianfu instead.

Huang Tianfu and the rest looked terrible. They were really unsure if Lin Huang's trump card would work out.

At that moment, Huang Tufu was the first to stand up. "I support the Emperor no matter what his decision is! If you're going to fight us, we're all in!" He had returned from Division 3 just for this.

Never had Lin Huang thought that Huang Tufu would be the first one who supported him.

Huang Tianfu hesitated for a moment. Then, he said while sighing when he saw Huang Tufu standing by the Emperor's side, "The Emperor's decision is Dynasty's decision. I'm merely Dynasty's butler. Naturally, we'll do whatever the Master wants. As for the consequences, we'll bear it together."

Huang Wunan shrugged, feeling helpless, and walked to Huang Tianfu without saying a word.

While the rest looked conflicted, Jie Sha grinned all of a sudden. "Those who are against this brat's direction, you'll live as long as you stand your ground."

Lin Huang remained unbothered and did not comment anything on what Jie Sha said.

Apart from those who had stood their ground, Huang Baiyu, Huang Haoyang, and the other right demigods were the ones remaining on Dynasty's side.

Huang Baiyu was a little conflicted initially, but he walked up to Lin Huang after hearing what Jie Sha said. "I didn't agree with what Master Emperor is doing initially, but I can't take it when you guys are trying to break us apart."

Huang Haoyang also could not take it and finally piped up, "Although I'm unwilling to fight Misery, I respect Master Emperor's decision. Also, you trying to break us apart is just a cheap act. It always backfires. It's been hundreds of years since the last time I used this technique."

Ku Zhen and Zhi Lu could not help but peek at Jie Sha next to them as soon as Huang Haoyang said that.

Since Huang Haoyang stood his ground, the remaining eight demigods stood on Lin Huang's side without hesitation. None of them objected to the decision.

Lin Huang looked at the three of them across while smirking. He spoke again while having his eyes on Ku Zhen, "Bodhisattva, I've got a question for you."

"Do tell." Ku Zhen nodded lightly.

"You guys said that you'd end Dynasty if we rejected your suggestion, sparing nobody's lives. Is that a threat or will you guys really do that?"

Everyone could not figure out what Lin Huang was trying to do. Ku Zhen was stunned for a second and subsequently answered while smiling, "Of course, it's not a threat. If you guys insist on rejecting our suggestion, we can only end Dynasty to show others the consequences of betraying the underground organization!"

"I get it now. If that's the case, I'll give you guys a multiple choice question too." Lin Huang nodded while smiling hearing that.

Ku Zhen and the other two were puzzled to hear Lin Huang saying that out of nowhere.

"You have two choices. One is to leave now. I'll pretend that you guys were never here and pretend that whatever happened today never took place. Dynasty and Misery won't get into each other's business. We will live in peace.

"The second is to leave your dead bodies here and I'll go ahead ending Misery. Nobody from Misery will be spared. I'll eradicate all of you!"

Chapter 1167: Lin Huang's Trump Card

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Everyone was bewildered to hear what Lin Huang said.

Even Huang Tianfu and the rest had no idea what trump card he had to be saying that.

The people from Misery were shocked while Jie Sha and Zhi Lu were completely enraged.

"You imbecile! I'll catch you alive today and send you to the Ghost Prison after sealing you. They'll torture you every day with cruel punishments. I bet that'll teach you a lesson!" Jie Sha glared viciously at Lin Huang.

Naturally, Lin Huang knew what kind of place the Ghost Prison was. It was the darkest and cruelest place in the black market. Almost all the high-quality slaves in the black market came from that place. It was said that no matter how strong a person's will was, they would be turned into a slave physically and mentally as long as they stayed in the place for a long time. It was impossible for them to ever find themselves again.

However, Lin Huang grinned when he heard the threats. "Your suggestion sounds great, but I don't usually like to leave anything behind. I won't spare your life to prevent you from escaping the Ghost Prison. You'll just be wasting my time if I go after you should you be out there playing tricks again."

"I'd like to see if you can still be so high and mighty when I got you!" Jie Sha attacked as soon as he was done speaking.

He stretched his hand from where he was, and a huge golden hand arrived before Lin Huang in the next second. Seeing that he was going to get Lin Huang, Huang Baiyu and Huang Haoyang did not bother helping him at all.

However, the golden hand caught nothing but thin air. Besides Lin Huang vanishing, even Huang Tianfu and the rest disappeared.

Instead, the trio from Misery was astonished to see a monster that looked like a tiger with a long trunk appeared next to the golden hand out of nowhere.

"Where did all of the Dynasty people go?" Ku Zhen did not see how Lin Huang and the rest disappeared at all, so he asked both of them.

However, Jie Sha and Zhi Lu did not see it clearly either.

"They must've been teleported away by this monster with some sort of technique," Zhi Lu explained while frowning. He subsequently said to Jie Sha through voice transmission, "Be careful. I can't sense this monster's combat strength."

However, the long-trunked monster mauled with its claw as soon as Zhi Lu spoke, crushing Jie Sha's golden hand instantly.

In the next second, the long-trunked monster vanished from where it was.

Jia Sha's pupils shrunk and he backed away immediately. However, the long-trunked monster appeared behind him as soon as he did that.

Then, he abruptly realized pain radiating all over his body. He held his head down and it dawned on him that his head was separated from his body.

Ku Zhen and Zhi Lu were shocked. All they saw was blood spurting out of Jie Sha's body and him being sliced into pieces.

Even the god relic on his body retreated back into his body from the single attack alone.

"What!?" Zhi Lu gulped. As Jie Sha's partner, he knew his ability very well. Although he had a slightly more powerful ability than Jie Sha, there was a limit to it. Since the monster managed to kill Jie Sha within a second, it would mean that it was easy for the monster to kill him too. Although it might not kill him in one blow, it could definitely kill him with two to three hits.

Ku Zhen was completely dumbstruck. Never had he thought the two people that he brought along would die. His mind went blank at that moment.

Just then, the long-trunked monster turned its head slowly and glared at its second target — Zhi Lu.

Zhi Lu had goosebumps when he locked eyes with the long-trunked monster like a terrified cat. He dared not move at all, afraid that any action he took would trigger the monster to attack him.

However, the long-trunked monster stepped out anyway and disappeared.

Zhi Lu did not see its movement at all, but he retreated quickly by instinct. He gripped his god relic battle sword in front of his body in a defensive stance.

Just when he was moving, he felt an immense strength shaking his battle sword. His right arm that was holding the sword was crushed!

The terrifying impact pierced through the battle sword and crashed into the god relic battle armor on his chest.

At the same time that Zhi Lu was thrown out, he felt the Divine Power in his body being drained. Without the support of Divine Power, the god relic battle sword and battle relic retreated back to his body automatically.

Although Zhi Lu was not killed by the attack, his Divine Power was drained fully and he lost an arm. Apart from that, the ribs under his chest were all crushed.

"Such insane ability! It has to be on at least Virtual God rank-8 or even Virtual God rank-9!" A glimmer of fear flashed through Zhi Lu's eyes. Never did he expect Lin Huang to have such a trump card.

However, he had no idea that the Nightmare Tapir held back a significant amount of his ability. In the dreamland that it had created, the Nightmare Tapir was just revealing peak-stage Virtual God rank-8 ability.

Therefore, Zhi Lu was not killed instantly by the attack.

If the Nightmare Tapir was to give his all, he might be able to kill a Virtual God rank-9 in one hit.

"How is Lin Huang controlling an imperial beast on such a level?" Just when Zhi Lu was having doubts, he saw a yellow silhouette appear above him in a flash.

He looked up to see a pair of cold eyes staring at him.

"Sh*t…"

Just when Zhi Lu thought that, his body was cleaved into pieces.

He saw his body separating from his head at the very last moment when he was still conscious. Meanwhile, his body that was sliced into pieces fell onto the ground pathetically.

Within three seconds, Ku Zhen saw two Virtual Gods being killed consecutively. His throat felt dry and constricted as his mind that had gone blank earlier was now in chaos. He could not understand how Lin Huang was controlling such a powerful monster at all.

As the Nightmare Tapir walked to him step by step, he felt like the Grim Reaper was approaching with every step he took.

Just when he was giving up hope, an idea popped into his head all of a sudden.

"Lin Huang! I'm only on imperial-level. You're being a bully, summoning a virtual god-level monster! Do you dare to accept my challenge to make this a fight between imperial-level?"

The Nightmare Tapir stopped walking after a moment of silence, and Lin Huang revealed himself next to it.

"Such prodding is so low." Lin Huang patted the Nightmare Tapir's head while smiling.

Upon seeing that, Ku Zhen was sure that the Nightmare Tapir was Lin Huang's summoning beast. His heart plummeted, but he had yet to give up his last hope of fighting.

"Let's have a fair match. You can do anything to me if you win. If I win, you'll have to let me go."

"I heard that people from Misery aren't afraid of death, but it seems like a Bodhisattva like you cherish your life," Lin Huang teased while smiling.

"I'm not scared of death, but death can be as light as a feather or as heavy as a mountain. I just hope that I won't die in vain," Ku Zhen argued.

Lin Huang continued smiling without saying anything. Naturally, he did not believe in a thing that Ku Zhen disputed.

"You want a fair match, don't you? I'll give you that."

Ku Zhen's eyes lit up when he heard his promise.

Lin Huang grinned. "You won't be fighting me, but him."

A man wearing a black cloak and a hat appeared next to Lin Huang as he uttered those words.

Chapter 1168: Mythical-level – Regal Sword Killer!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The man who was standing before Lin Huang was approximately two meters tall.

The hat he wore on his head was maroon and had black dragon patterns all over it. The massive hat covered his head under the shade. One could only faintly distinguish that he should be a man from his body.

He merely slung the black cloak on his shoulder casually, leaving his hands outside the sleeves. There were no patterns on the cloak, only golden dragon patterns on the edge of the collars and cuffs.

He stood there with his hands on his chest, as still as a rock.

Ku Zhen's pupils shrunk without him even realizing it the moment he saw the man in the hat. The person stood before Lin Huang quietly without moving and he could sense the suppressive aura coming from him clearly.

"His name is Killer. He's also a sword cultivator and has imperial-level purple gold-rank combat strength just like you." Lin Huang gave a simple introduction. "I think it should be fair enough to give you such an opponent. Am I right?"

As the Bodhisattva of Misery, Ku Zhen did not doubt his ability. He knew very well that his ability was close to invincible below virtual god-level. He was fearless even when he encountered a perfect-stage demigod. However, the suppressive aura that the human-form monster Lin Huang summoned before him was similar to a Virtual God despite the fact that they had the same combat strength.

'Can this summoning beast be a quadruple mythical-level?!' A thought flashed through Ku Zhen's head all of a sudden.

The only explanation that made sense for someone having same combat strength as he did but gave out such a suppressing aura was that the monster was quadruple mutated!

Ku Zhen could not help but seem a little troubled after coming up with this logical explanation.

He had only heard about quadruple mutated monsters but never had he thought he would see a live one. Although he had definite confidence in his ability whereby he was fearless of opponents under virtual god-level, he had no confidence of defeating a quadruple mutated monster.

He stared at Killer for a moment with his guard up. He turned away all of a sudden and began looking at Lin Huang instead.

"Emperor Lin, it's boring for me to fight your summoning beast. Why don't both of us fight? I hear that you're the No. 1 genius of the era. I've actually been wanting to spar with you. Such an opportunity is hard to come by!"

Lin Huang interrupted Ku Zhen amusedly, "I'm an Imperial Censor. The battle technique I love to use the most is to summon a bunch of imperial monsters to surround and fight my opponent. Are you sure you want to challenge me in doing that? I have a couple of imperial monsters like Killer."

Ku Zhen was speechless. Initially, he thought he would fight Lin Huang himself. However, he had just realized that as an Imperial Censor, Lin Huang would usually summon his imperial monsters to fight according to what he had just told him. Meanwhile, he did not even have the confidence to fight Killer alone. If it was true that Lin Huang had other imperial monsters with similar abilities, him challenging Lin Huang would be seeking death.

"How about this? I'll give you a chance to fight me if you manage to defeat Killer. I'll show you the rest of my imperial monsters and whether you win or not, I'll let you go." Lin Huang smirked because there was another thing that he did not say out loud. 'Given that you manage to survive being surrounded by a bunch of imperial monsters.'

Naturally, Ku Zhen managed to read between the lines. He was looking even more aghast now.

Initially, he could have left as soon as he defeated one imperial monster. The situation backfired when he attempted to play it smart by challenging Lin Huang himself.

Lin Huang ignored Ku Zhen's reaction and turned his head to say to Killer with a smile. "Kill him and I'll reward you with 300 sword skills. But if you lose, you'll lose three months worth of snacks."

Two golden glaring beams of light lit up under the hat when Lin Huang said that while two electric arcs stretched from the glows almost at the same time.

Killer appeared before Ku Zhen in the blink of an eye.

"That's quick!" Ku Zhen's pupils shrunk. He did not see Killer's movements at all, so he could barely catch his movement trajectory.

He swung the long, narrow battle sword in his hand and charged.

At the same time, Killer stretched his big hand under the cloak. A huge, black sword appeared in his hand secretly. The blade alone was at least two meters long while its width was similar to the size of Killer's waist.

One could imagine how heavy such a sword was. However, it seemed like it weighed nothing in Killer's hand.

He held a sword up and charged the pitch-black sword forward like a lightning bolt. It collided with the long sword in Ku Zhen's hand in a heartbeat.

Ku Zhen's robe fluttered while Life Power charged out of his body. White mist lingered around his body.

However, Ku Zhen felt an immense strength coming from the sword during the point of collision. The intense impact made him shoot out without him having the ability to control it.

He felt that his right arm that was holding the sword had gone numb. He almost lost grip of the long, narrow battle sword in his hand.

Clearly, the opponent's strength was on a different level.

On the other side, Killer stood immobile like a rock. His cloak was fluttering with the flapping sound in the air while black mist coiled around his body. The only thing that could be seen were the two golden glows under the hat as he gazed in the direction where Ku Zhen had fallen in a condescending way.

The eyes under Killer's hat lit up before Ku Zhen fell onto the ground completely. His cloak was fluttering like boiling water all of a sudden before he disappeared from where he was.

Two golden beams flashed through the sky, and a black silhouette appeared above Ku Zhen. He had a slight change of expression when he noticed the golden glow approaching.

Killer was swinging his sword again while Ku Zhen's right arm that was holding the sword was still numb. He could not do anything.

If the sword touched him, even though the attack would be blocked by his god relic battle armor, the Divine Power in his body would be drained significantly.

An idea flashed through Ku Zhen's head as he thought about this. In a split second, he summoned a Combat Soul.

A bronze Buddha statue appeared, blocking Ku Zhen and Killer. The statue held up its palm which collided with the giant sword in Killer's hand.

As the statue flew backward, Ku Zhen bought himself time to escape, seizing the opportunity. Dust flew up as he landed on the ground, covering his body. Killer hovered in the air while sensing Ku Zhen's location with his Territory skill.

Meanwhile, Lin Huang who was watching the battle from far away raised his brow.

He figured that the Combat Soul that Ku Zhen had summoned to save him was clearly a God Figurine's Combat Soul because only a God Figurine's Combat Soul could have withstood Killer's sword attack earlier.

"He's only on imperial-level purple gold-rank. How did he manage to activate a God Figurine's Combat Soul?"

"That's nothing surprising. After all, he has Divine Power in his body," the stone tablet piped up.

"Divine Power… in an imperial-level purple gold-rank's body?" Lin Huang narrowed his eyes. "Which means his cultivation technique is different from the usual one in this world!"

"It's different indeed." The stone tablet explained slowly, "The cultivation technique he has is similar to an organization that used to be in the great world. The organization was called the Demonic Buddhist Sect. However, it was destroyed by a Heavenly God from an organization called the Buddhist Sect after existing for over a hundred years.

"The Buddhist Sect cultivates Reincarnation Dao whereby they would salvage souls for reincarnation. Meanwhile, the founder of the Demonic Buddhist Sect, the Demonic Buddhist Old Man, found a way to cultivate by engulfing souls from a Buddhist Sect's forbidden skill. He then created a new method — the Demonic Buddhist Telekinesis — with the forbidden skill as the foundation.

"This brat from Misery seems to be cultivating Demonic Buddhist Telekinesis. He must've engulfed quite a number of souls since his Divine Telekinesis is almost formed. Its intensity is even higher than your pseudo-Divine Telekinesis. Moreover, the shape of the inked relic in his body that's similar to a Godhead has formed. There's a sea of Divine Power in it. He'll be able to form it completely within half a year to a year. He'll get to destiny-level (virtual god-level) by then."

"So, are you saying that the Demonic Buddhist Sect that's been destroyed in the great world might be Misery's mastermind?"

"That's pretty impossible. The Demonic Buddhist Sect has been destroyed over 50,000 years ago while Misery has only been founded over 600 years ago. There shouldn't be any relationship between these two." The stone tablet dismissed such a possibility directly.

"Why is it impossible? What if someone from the Demonic Buddhist Sect survived back then and escaped to our world?" Lin Huang asked again.

"Well, that's possible," the stone tablet proceeded, "There's no need for us to guess on our own. You'll find out after you read the trio's minds later."

Chapter 1169: A Losing Battle

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Soon, Killer, who was in the air, locked onto Ku Zhen's coordinates with its Territory skill. He picked up his sword and swung it from where he was.

The black crescent-shaped sword attacks charged insanely at Ku Zhen one after another.

Ku Zhen dodged the attacks in the dust without stopping. He tried his best not to confront Killer's attacks as much as he could, appearing very clumsy.

His white robe was filled with dust and soil, and there were many tears on it too.

Lin Huang, who was watching the battle from far away, could not help but smirk. He knew what Ku Zhen was planning to do.

The goal was simple. He wanted to drain Killer's Life Power. Killer's attacks would drain Life Power tens of times more than he would. As long as he dragged it out long enough, it was sufficient to drain Killer's Life Power.

Naturally, Ku Zhen's plan would work theoretically.

The problem was that apart from the Life Power in his body, Killer would obtain Life Power from Lin Huang's side, and his Life Power was almost endless. Ku Zhen's plan was clearly a smart idea that would never work.

Of course, he should not be blamed. Most experienced powerhouses might do what Ku Zhen was doing when they encountered such a sword cultivator monster with powerful attack abilities like Killer.

However, Ku Zhen was unfortunate to have encountered Killer today.

Even though Killer's capability of draining the Life Power was tens of times more than his, if he compared who would drain their Life Power first, Ku Zhen would definitely be the one.

Unfortunately, Ku Zhen had no idea about that. He was thinking to himself while dodging Killer's attacks clumsily, 'Let's see how much longer you can attack like this! I'll let you brag for now, and I'll teach you a lesson when your Life Power is drained!'

Lin Huang was watching Ku Zhen running around like a dog that had lost its home in the dust gleefully. He did not plan to tell Ku Zhen that Killer's Life Power was impossible to be drained at all. He was watching a show, waiting for Ku Zhen to realize something was wrong.

Time passed in the dreamland.

Ku Zhen had been suppressed by Killer to the point that he only managed to attack a few times. All the while, he had been dodging and defending himself from Killer's attacks.

The Dynasty headquarters was in a mess in the dreamland. Apart from the Emperor Palace, a few god relic palaces, and the mothership that were in one piece, all of the other buildings had turned into ashes.

If not for the layer of defense covering the place, Ku Zhen would have escaped from Dynasty since the beginning.

Ku Zhen was persistent in his battle plan as he did not want to fight Killer head-on.

The battle went on for half an hour. Ku Zhen gave everything that he could to dodge the attacks. He would drain his Life Power to defend himself from those attacks that he could not dodge in time. Sometimes, he might be hit by the impact of the attack. In reality, those were draining his Life Power significantly.

He had drained more than half of the Life Power in his body throughout the half an hour. However, Killer who initiated the attacks did not seem tired at all.

Ku Zhen finally noticed something wrong. He realized that Killer did not exhibit any exhaustion at all. Theoretically, such a high-frequency attack that would be harmful should drain his Life Power significantly. However, Killer did not seem to experience a drop in his attack frequency and strength. On the contrary, it was even boosted a little bit.

The peculiarity made Ku Zhen suspect that Lin Huang might be using some special technique to replenish Killer's Life Power. He then raised his suspicion. "Emperor Lin, this is just a sparring session. Do you really think you should replenish your summoning beast's Life Power?"

"Oh, I forgot to tell you this. This summoning beast of mine is rather special whereby the Life Power in his body is endless, so it can't be drained," Lin Huang explained while smiling calmly.

Ku Zhen was speechless to hear that. He did not suspect the authenticity of what Lin Huang told him. Mythical-level monsters could not be measured in theory, thus it was not surprising for them to have a certain ability.

However, Ku Zhen realized that he had wasted half an hour after finding out about Killer's ability.

He was running around like a stray dog, not even daring to fight back because he was scared to lose his precious Life Power. However, he drained over half of his Life Power throughout the half an hour. Meanwhile, his opponent attacked him for over half an hour but none of the latter's Life Power was drained.

The thought of it alone made him mad!

"No, my Life Power will be drained if I go on like this. I'll be the one who will be killed by then." Ku Zhen frowned and thought hard about it. He realized there was only one way to end this cycle, which was to fight with all his might!

After making up his mind that he had no second option, Ku Zhen clenched his teeth and leaped with immense strength. He got out of the dusty area and dodged Killer's attacks one after another as he charged towards Killer.

'He's fighting a losing battle.' Lin Huang's eyes lit up. He was excited to see the head-on battle between the two sword cultivators.

In the air, Ku Zhen managed to dodge all of Killer's attacks like a slippery loach. Soon, he arrived before Killer.

He smashed his long, narrow sword against the gigantic black sword in Killer's hand.

Ku Zhen was attacking out of rage. He held almost nothing back, even activating the Divine Power in the inked relic in his body. He wanted to destroy Killer unexpectedly.

Killer did not hold back either. As a quadruple mutated mythical-level monster, although he was only on imperial-level purple gold-rank, he could activate his Divine Power too. However, he did not usually do it because it brought more burden upon his body.

Ku Zhen activating his Divine Power triggered Killer to activate his too.

Inky black Divine Power flowed out like liquid and engulfed his entire battle sword in the blink of an eye. Meanwhile, Ku Zhen's Divine Power was white, completely contrasting to Killer's.

The different Divine Powers collided together through the swords.

Glaring golden glows of light shot into the sky from the point of collision in the next second.

It was only a small dot size of a sesame seed, but it began growing rapidly in the next second. Within almost two breaths, it turned into a giant, golden sphere with a diameter of over three meters. It then exploded.

The glaring golden light spread tens of kilometers away. Clearly, the defense in the dreamland did not block the peculiar scene out entirely.

The golden glow that exploded from Killer and Ku Zhen's collision illuminated tens of thousands of kilometers away like a sun.

Fortunately, it was just a dreamland.

If this happened in reality, one would wonder how many innocents would be involved in this battle and died from the impact of the collision.

Lin Huang's eyes lit up as he watched the phenomenon. He could barely look away from the golden sphere that erupted.

"That's my Killer. His ability has totally reached virtual god-level standard!"

Chapter 1170: Death is The Starting Point to The Other Side

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

A white silhouette flew out of the battle the moment when the golden light exploded in the air.

Lin Huang looked closely to see that it was Ku Zhen in a white robe.

In reality, Lin Huang expected that to happen.

Killer showcased his Virtual God rank-1 ability in this battle.

Although Ku Zhen's ability was also powerful, he was slightly weaker than a virtual god-level. He might be able to fight a perfect-stage demigod-level when he encountered one. In fact, he might even win, but that was the best that he could do.

However, Lin Huang clearly sensed that Ku Zhen's aura did not fade.

Although he had been suppressed by Killer in the collision, he was not dead. Lin Huang could even tell from his aura that he was not harmed physically.

Lin Huang looked at the layer of white glow that was spinning rapidly around his body. He plainly saw that the layer of Divine Power did not defend the impact of the golden glow by force. Instead, it was spinning quickly around his body and absorbed most of the impact.

"This guy is pretty good in battle."

Killer charged immediately since the attack did not kill his opponent, going after Ku Zhen again.

Ku Zhen did not choose to retreat. Instead, he activated his Divine Power again and went after Killer as he moved.

The white and black silhouettes collided again and again in the air. Circles of energy waves and strong winds were created.

The Dynasty headquarters was a mess in the dreamland. Apart from the areas that were protected by god relics, almost every inch of the land looked like it had been dug by excavators on Earth.

Although Ku Zhen had given up his battle model of not draining his Life Power, even initiating the attacks, the difference in the duo's ability soon began one-sided.

Ku Zhen would always be the one who would be shot out during each collision.

Killer would go after him again and again, but Ku Zhen was extraordinarily persistent.

He had the upper hand depending on the god relic sword in his hand and god relic battle armor. Together with his exquisite movement skill and unique charging methods, he managed to avoid being annihilated by Killer with all of the techniques that he had.

Desperately looking for opportunities to attack again and again, he would swing his sword whenever he found an opening. He was unwilling to lose any chance of winning.

"This guy has compelling battle talent. He's considered the top among supreme geniuses. He might be on par with Chan Dou," Lin Huang could not help but comment. He even began to be curious about other Bodhisattvas from Misery after watching Ku Zhen's performance.

In comparison, Killer lacked battle experience.

In reality, his ability was a level more powerful than Ku Zhen's. With his endless Life Power and Divine Power, theoretically, he should have the upper hand. However, he failed to kill Ku Zhen as they fought for more than ten minutes.

However, Lin Huang did not panic at all. He saw Killer improving throughout the battle with Ku Zhen, so he did not bother urging him. Instead, he was happy to see Killer practicing with Ku Zhen who was like a sandbag to him.

Time passed by, and Ku Zhen's will was decreasing. His Divine Power and Life Power were almost drained. Meanwhile, his opponent's Life Power was endless like what Lin Huang said. From the beginning until the end, his battle will did not dip even for a second and his attacks remained consistent.

Lin Huang, who was watching the battle, smiled as he watched Ku Zhen changed his battle model again. He began dodging Killer's attacks and refused to fight head-on again.

"He should only be left with less than a tenth of Divine Power in his body. The possibility of him turning the tables around is slim."

In reality, Killer's ability in the battle was not stagnant. As Ku Zhen's Life Power was dropping, he was learning continuously. His mythical-level learning ability allowed him to digest Ku Zhen's battle model in less than an hour. He had also found a way to counter him.

Killer's attack mode changed all of a sudden as Lin Huang watched in surprise.

His initial attack mode was quick and fierce. However, his attack this time became a mix of light and heavy, quick and slow, and even illusory sometimes.

Lin Huang's eyes lit up when he saw the change.

Ku Zhen was dodging even more clumsily since the change. While he tried to figure out why Killer changed his battle model, he felt more and more troubled.

A respectable Bodhisattva like him had become a monster's sandbag. What was more pathetic was that the monster was somebody else's summoning beast!

As Ku Zhen felt anxious, a black silhouette flashed by and stopped before him.

He looked up to see that it was Killer. However, his sword remained in the scabbard, and he seemed like he was not planning to attack.

"Show me what else you have. Otherwise, you won't ever have the chance again." Killer's voice was deep and a little husky. He sounded like a middle-aged man who was a heavy smoker.

Ku Zhen grinned ferociously just when Killer was done speaking. The narrow, long battle sword in his hand lit up. Almost at the same time, he disappeared from where he was. Lin Huang's pupils shrunk.

In the air, a white glow shot out like a lightning bolt, reaching Killer in almost the blink of an eye and targeting his forehead.

Nevertheless, Killer was calm. He twisted the giant sword in his hand. Then, it shrunk rapidly and turned into a long, narrow sword. It was even thinner than Ku Zhen's sword.

Killer only changed while swinging his battle sword after the sword experienced a change in form. Soon, he disappeared.

His black sword also flew forward like a lightning bolt. It was even a few times faster than Ku Zhen's attack.

Even Lin Huang could barely capture Killer's trajectory.

What surprised Lin Huang was that he saw the shadow of the sword skill Thunder Sting that he cultivated before in the swing of the sword.

Clearly, Killer had integrated many human sword skills with his own sword skills.

It was evident that Ku Zhen did not expect Killer to be able to change the form of the battle sword in his hand. Besides that, his sword was even a few times faster than his top speed.

The black and white bolts of lightning collided in the air. Before an explosion could erupt from the collision, Killer had activated the Divine Power in his body this time.

The black Divine Power was like a flood that broke out of a dam, suppressing Ku Zhen's charge of Life Power that was depleting.

Ku Zhen's heart dropped entirely when he saw the black Divine Power coming at him like a wave.

In reality, he was attempting to win by speed whereby he would severe Killer's head when he was unaware. Therefore, he held nothing back when he attacked earlier. He funneled all of the Divine Power in his body into it, causing him to drain the Divine Power in his body completely. Even the god relic armor and the god relic battle sword in his hand retreated back into his body because his Divine Power had been drained.

Without his god relics, Ku Zhen stood where he was calmly. He watched the black wave coming at him expressionlessly.

Seeing that he was going to drown, Ku Zhen opened his arms wide all of a sudden. He mumbled softly while showing a slight smile, "Death is the starting point to the other side…"

His entire body was engulfed by the black wave completely before he was even done speaking.

Chapter 1171: Misery's Secret

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Lin Huang commented while he looked at Killer after getting out of the dreamland, "There's space for your battle skills to improve. However, you're pretty skilled overall. After all, your opponent this time is pretty powerful and you're improving fast."

The giant sword in Killer's hand disintegrated slowly. He then nodded at Lin Huang lightly. Indeed, this battle had exposed his flaws.

Lin Huang extended his hand subsequently and pressed it on Killer's hat to share over 300 sword skills that he promised.

"This is the reward that I promised you. Take your time to digest them." With a flourish of his hand, he recalled Killer back into a card.

Later on, Lin Huang looked at the three bodies that were in Dynasty's meeting room. The three of them from Misery had lost their vital signs completely, but they remained sitting just like how they were before the Nightmare Tapir pulled them into the dreamland. They had not even closed their eyes.

"How's the progress of retrieving their memory?" Lin Huang asked the Nightmare Tapir all of a sudden.

"It's done."

Lin Huang summoned Bloody again after hearing the Nightmare Tapir's response.

Donning a red dress, Bloody was a beauty no matter one was admiring her body or her face. However, she never had any expression on her face. Even Lin Huang had never seen her smiling in this form.

Bloody knew why she was summoned. She leaped and appeared before the Nightmare Tapir, then pressed her hand against the Nightmare Tapir's chin.

She retrieved the memory within two to three breaths while sorting out the information at the same time. She bounded as soon as she let go and appeared before Lin Huang, pointing her finger between his brows.

Lin Huang received the information some ten seconds later. He finally figured out Misery's biggest secret after scanning through the trio's memories.

"So, this is how Misery grew!"

According to Jie Sha and Zhi Lu's memories, Misery discovered a ruins unintentionally over 500 years ago. The ruins had been a Buddhist city back in the ancient era, and it accommodated up to a hundred of temples of all sizes. Many inheritances were left behind in almost each of those temples. There were even many methods that could get one to True God level.

Misery depended on those methods to cultivate many powerhouses and soon became No. 1 among the underground organizations.

Meanwhile, the Demonic Buddhist Telekinesis that Ku Zhen cultivated was the quickest to be acquired among those methods. Therefore, it became one of the main methods that Misery members cultivated throughout centuries.

However, apart from cultivation methods, there were all sorts of Buddhist techniques exclusively for battles among the other inheritances.

Apart from the inheritance, Misery also obtained many resources from the ruins. There were hundreds of god relics, let alone demigod relics and other equipment.

"Never had I thought that such a ruins would have been left behind by the ancient Buddhist era!" Lin Huang could not help but exclaim. It was such a waste for the ruins to be discovered by Misery. Had it been the Union Government or the Hunter Association who found it, many Buddhist cultivation inheritances would be passed on and spread, churning out a few times more powerhouses compared to Misery.

Lin Huang had picked up something about the ancient era unintentionally when he was reading a lot back when he was a teacher. He only found out during that time that the ancient era was between 80,000 to 30,000 years ago. Buddhist cultivation was the main cultivation direction the powerhouses practiced during that era.

However, until now, there were limited ancient era ruins that were excavated in the entire world. Even if there were, those were just medium or small ruins, and no inheritances were left behind.

Never had Lin Huang thought the ruins Misery discovered 500 years ago had so many Buddhist cultivation inheritances.

Apart from that biggest secret, Lin Huang also found out many hidden secrets from scanning the trio's memories.

For instance, there were actually 13 virtual god-level powerhouses in Misery. There were actually not that many demigods more than Virtual Gods as there were only 18 of them. If not for the lack of resources, Misery might have had more than 30 Virtual Gods throughout the years.

Meanwhile, among the 13 Virtual Gods, the one with the highest combat strength was on Virtual God rank-9. There was only one, who was the actual leader of Misery, but he was only a demigod and had only been assigned the position for publicity. However, he basically did nothing.

Apart from the Virtual God rank-9 powerhouse, Misery had two high-level Virtual Gods on Virtual God rank-7 and rank-8.

Below them were seven mid-level Virtual Gods from Virtual God rank-4 to rank-8 and three on Virtual God rank-3.

Among the 13 Virtual Gods, 11 of them broke through by cultivating while only two Virtual God rank-3s elevated through refining Godheads.

The number of Virtual Gods Misery had alone had made them the king of the entire gravel world.

However, Lin Huang found out about a secret that had nothing to do with Misery, but with the Union Government.

The reason why Misery had been refraining from attacking the Union Government was that they knew the Union Government had a technique to kill Gods. It could kill all powerhouses below True God almost in just one blow.

However, Misery had no idea how exactly the technique worked, which irritated Lin Huang. He could only speculate from all sorts of limited information that it might be a weapon that was similar to the God Crasher.

Even though Bloody had filtered the memories, the data in the trio's memories were almost endless. Lin Huang only scanned through them roughly, studied the parts that he was interested in and saved that part of the memories temporarily.

Lin Huang walked to the trio calmly after snapping back to reality. Then, he began searching for loot from their bodies. He found eight god relics from them alone and five Emperor's Heart Rings.

With his Divine Telekinesis, he scanned through the three bodies carefully. He then looked at Jie Sha and Zhi Lu's chests after making sure that he had not missed anything out.

"I wonder if I can refine those inked relics in their bodies."

"The form that was consolidated is different due to different cultivation methods. In reality, inked relics and Buddhist cultivators' warrior relics are pretty much the same in nature," the stone tablet initiated its explanation after hearing what Lin Huang said.

"Since I can refine them, I won't leave them behind. I happen to need Godheads," said Lin Huang and turned his head to look at the Nightmare Tapir. "Dig out the inked relics in their bodies for me."

The Nightmare Tapir nodded and appeared before the three bodies in a flash. He unsheathed his claws.

A moment later, two round, pitch-black gems floated out of Jie Sha and Zhi Lu's bodies and hovered before the Nightmare Tapir.

Lin Huang watched closely and discerned that the two gems were merely the size of an adult thumb. They were like two pitch-black glass spheres that had faint golden patterns on them.

"The one in his body has disintegrated." The Nightmare Tapir pointed at Ku Zhen.

"It's okay. Two will do." Lin Huang stretched his hand out and grabbed the two inked relics in his hand. He played with them for a while and flicked them into his body.

The two inked relics were like meteorites shooting into Lin Huang's Life Palace one after another.

Lin Huang lifted his head and looked far away to the west after snapping back to reality. "It's time to visit Misery…"

Chapter 1172: I'll Give You Two Options

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Foothold No. 1A13, Nirvana City in Division 1 was where Misery's headquarters was located.

The tallest building in the entire Division 1, the Sky Pagoda, was in this foothold.

The 999-story Sky Pagoda was over 3,000 meters high. It stood tall in the central zone of the entire foothold with the building penetrating into the sky.

Although it was an underground organization's headquarters, many tourists would visit this place every year. The adventurous ones might even visit more than one foothold under the jurisdiction of the underground organization. In reality, they knew very well that the safety in those footholds where the underground organization headquarters were was not as lackadaisical compared to the Union Government.

Safety would affect the number of residents directly which, in turn, would affect the number of investors. The number of investors would make or break the economy of a foothold.

Therefore, the footholds where the underground organization's headquarters were based would usually be bearable. At least, it was for the commoners on the surface.

Even most of the underground organizations welcomed tourists to visits their footholds because tourism made good money. The effect also spilled over to many other businesses which was beneficial for the foothold's economy.

Nirvana City was one of the underground organization's footholds that was considered wealthy in tourism.

The Sky Pagoda was the highest artificial building in Division 1, and it attracted many tourists each year. Misery even made the areas around the Sky Pagoda into tourism zones with all sorts of amenities.

At the moment, an elevator containing many tourists was rising from the foot of Sky Pagoda.

The Sky Pagoda was an attraction not to be missed when one visited Nirvana City. All the tourists flocked to it.

Almost all of the ten or so tourists in the elevator were snapping videos and photos.

A little boy of seven or eight pulled his father's hand all of a sudden. "Dad, look! Someone's flying over there!"

His exclamation drew many people's attention, so they looked where he was pointing.

A silhouette to the right of the elevator was flying high at a speed tens of times faster than the elevator.

"It's a transcendent!" someone exclaimed out loud.

The elevator erupted into chaos all of a sudden. Many people began adjusting the angle of their cameras in an attempt to document this moment.

However, the silhouette soon disappeared into the clouds above.

"Dad, why is the transcendent flying above the pagoda?" piped up the little boy again.

The kid's father looked pretty young. He was speechless from the question as he had no idea how to explain it.

At that moment, an uncle next to them said, "Kid, this Sky Pagoda has a total of 999 floors, but this elevator that we're taking can only go to the 990th floor. We can't access the last nine floors. I heard that the nine floors above are the headquarters office. The office area has no elevator, so you can only fly if you want to get in. The person who was flying should be a member of Misery."

As those tourists were talking about Misery's headquarters, Lin Huang had passed through the clouds and arrived on the 999th floor of the Sky Pagoda.

"Why didn't the Dynasty's Master Emperor notify us about your arrival? We must roll out the red carpet." A deep male voice came from not far away just when Lin Huang stood still.

A man in a red robe walked out of the dark slowly. There were ten people in gray robes who followed behind him.

Lin Huang noticed that most of the 11 of them were glaring at him like an enemy while a minority of them had no expression on their faces. Meanwhile, the leader had a faint smile on his face.

Clearly, these people had heard about Ku Zhen, Jie Sha, and Zhi Lu's death and knew that he would come.

"Didn't you guys know that I was coming?" Lin Huang smirked and said to the person who was leading the group. He could sense that the person's aura was nothing below the Master God's clone of God Bless. He should be Misery's leader.

Secretly, he observed the person. Both his height and features looked mediocre. He was one of those who looked inconspicuous if he were to be thrown into a crowd.

"Let me introduce myself. Your humble one is Zhi Ji. You can say that I'm Misery's current abbot," the red-robed man said calmly.

"Lin Huang from Dynasty." Lin Huang gave a simple introduction of his identity. He was sure that everyone knew who he was anyway.

"Master Emperor, you came alone. What a man," Zhi Ji said while smiling lightly.

"You guys sent people to visit Dynasty, so I thought I'd visit Misery myself. It's reciprocity, I guess," Lin Huang replied.

"Let's talk in the meeting room then." Zhi Ji gestured for Lin Huang to take a step forward.

Lin Huang did not decline the invitation and stepped out directly.

He had the Ninetails Lynx hiding in the alternate dimension and the Nightmare Tapir which had shrunk to hide in his sleeve anyway. The duo would fight if anything were to happen.

Everyone sat around the table after following Zhi Ji and Lin Huang into the meeting room. Zhi Ji sat at the main seat while Lin Huang sat across him.

A bald man in a gray robe served every one tea after they had settled in.

"Master Emperor, try this snow tea. I brought a few of these tea trees from a ruins over 500 years ago. They only sprout when it snows. I plucked this batch of tea leaves during the first snowfall half a month ago," Zhi Ji introduced graciously.

Lin Huang picked up the teacup and took a sip. He was not afraid that the tea might be poisoned since he had Divine Fire in his body. As long as it could not kill a True God, anything could be refined with Divine Fire. Meanwhile, according to Zhi Lu and the rest's memories, no poisoning techniques were found in the inheritance from the ruins.

The tea was sweet. Indeed, the tea leaves were considered the best Lin Huang had ever tried. It could almost compare with the batch of ancient tea the Union Government chief, Jiang Shan, had.

The people from Misery were surprised to see Lin Huang drink the tea without hesitation.

A few of them were waiting for Lin Huang to refuse the tea. They thought they would have a chance to tease Lin Huang. However, Lin Huang sipped it instantly, so their anticipation was short-lived. Some were a little pissed, so they held their heads down and refused to speak.

However, Zhi Ji remained calm since the beginning. He pretended as if nothing happened and told the story about the tea leaves.

Lin Huang was just as patient. He was chatting with Zhi Ji happily as though he was not there to seek trouble.

After a few cups of tea, Zhi Ji was done with his story. Lin Huang smirked slightly. "Now that we've drunk the tea and talked about other things, shall we get down to business?"

The atmosphere that was eased in the meeting room became heavy all of a sudden after everyone heard what Lin Huang said.

"Do you guys not want to know why I visit you?" Lin Huang looked at Zhi Ji and smiled wryly.

"Lin Huang, you killed…" A bald hunk in a gray robe stood up all of a sudden. However, Zhi Ji applied pressure to his shoulder from far away before he could finish speaking.

"Sit down, Jie Se." Zhi Ji's voice was soft. The bald hunk wanted to say something, but he held his head down upon seeing Zhi Ji's expression. He dared not say anything.

Zhi Ji then looked at Lin Huang after stopping the bald hunk and continued smiling.

"Master Emperor, so what's the purpose of you visiting us this time?"

Lin Huang smiled since they were finally on track.

"Zhi Lu gave Dynasty two options when he visited us this morning. One was to cancel the collaboration between Dynasty and the Union Government and dismiss ourselves as a neutral organization. The second choice was to eradicate Dynasty from this world entirely, sparing nobody's lives.

"I'll also give Misery two options now. One is to serve me unconditionally and become the second organization under me. The second is to be killed by me, sparing nobody's lives!"

Chapter 1173: Come At Me, All of You

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The 11 Virtual Gods from Misery, including Zhi Ji, were shocked when they heard Lin Huang's declaration. Then, rage settled into their hearts.

In the entire meeting room, apart from Zhi Ji who appeared calm, the remaining ten of them glared deadly at Lin Huang.

Three of them stood up directly in a stance which left no doubt that they were going to fight Lin Huang.

"Lin Huang, do you know what's the consequence of challenging us, Misery?" spoke an old man with a mustache sitting on Zhi Ji's left all of a sudden. His tone was clearly furious and threatening.

From Zhi Lu and the rest's memories, Lin Huang recognized this as Jie Wu, Misery's powerhouse whose combat strength was right behind Zhi Ji's. He seemed skinny and inconspicuous. In reality, he had a combat strength of Virtual God rank-8 and was also Misery's second leader. In their memory, although Jie Wu's combat strength was a rank lower than Zhi Ji's, his ability might be comparable with Zhi Ji who was on Virtual God rank-9.

Lin Huang peeked at Jie Wu but eventually ignored him. Instead, he looked away quietly and fixed his eyes on Zhi Ji who was sitting beside him.

"I can give you guys three minutes to discuss it."

"You…" Jie Wu was seething from anger when he was ignored directly. However, Zhi Ji, who was sitting aside, gripped his shoulder.

Jie Wu only calmed down slowly after seeing that Zhi Ji shake his head at him. However, he continued glaring at Lin Huang in rage.

"Please take your seats." Zhi Ji gestured to the three of them who had stood up.

After everyone in the meeting room took their seats in silence, he frowned slightly for a moment before lifting his head to look at Lin Huang.

"How about this, Master Emperor? I know that you brought your imperial monsters and that there are two Virtual God rank-8 imperial monsters hiding in this room."

The remaining ten of them were stunned as soon as Zhi Ji said that. They then looked around immediately.

Lin Huang did not expect Zhi Ji to find out about the Ninetails Lynx that was hiding in the alternate dimension and the Nightmare Tapir that had concealed itself with an illusion. He smiled and refused to comment on that, saying nothing at all.

Zhi Ji continued, "Why don't we make a bet?"

"Pick your most powerful imperial monster to fight me. If your imperial monster wins, we'll serve you willingly. If your imperial monster loses, we won't drag the rest of the Dynasty members into this. I'll send your body to Dynasty myself."

Lin Huang could not help but grin when he heard he stakes.

Clearly, Zhi Ji was a wise man who wanted to take the opportunity to see how powerful his trump card was. If his trump card was powerful enough, he would not lose anything by surrendering. However, if his trump card was measly, it would mean that he was but a lamb sending itself to a tiger's jaws and seeking death.

Lin Huang did not respond to the bet right away. Instead, he glanced at the other ten slowly and smirked more. "This bet of yours isn't exciting enough. Why don't you get all 11 of them to fight together? That way, you can prevent anyone of you from being upset when you lose. I'll still be sending only one imperial monster from my side."

Although the Virtual Gods from Misery felt they were being underestimated, at the same time, they thought there was something wrong with his head.

His changing the bet would mean raising the bar for himself.

"If that's what you say, brat!" Next to Zhi Ji, Jie Wu was so mad that he was cackling. He thought Lin Huang completely underestimated his abilities. A raging fire in his body was rearing to go and was ready to be released later.

"Yes, mark my word." Lin Huang tilted his head at everyone. "Does anyone have anything to say? It's best that you say it now instead of backing out if you lose later."

While they were secretly cursing Lin Huang for being arrogant, they were also glad. All of them thought Lin Huang changing the bet was undoubtedly digging his own grave.

Naturally, none of the 11 of them objected.

Among the 11 of them, Zhi Ji was the only one frowning a little, but he still said nothing. Although they had the upper hand in the bet, he had the feeling that Lin Huang was either up to something no good or he was really confident about changing the bet.

However, since the bow was already nocked on the arrow, it had to be released.

"Since you suggested that, Master Emperor, we'll change the bet as you wish. The condition of the bet remains," Zhi Ji concluded out loud.

Lin Huang nodded while smiling and shook his sleeve. "You may come out now."

The Nightmare Tapir leaped out of Lin Huang's sleeve as soon as he said that. It restored its original size and revealed itself.

The first impression it gave everyone in his tiger form and long elephant trunk was that it was a ferocious beast. However, Zhi Ji and the rest sensed that the monster before them only had Virtual God rank-8 combat strength.

Zhi Ji suspected something was up at that point. "Master Emperor, are you sure you're using this imperial monster to fight in this bet?"

"I only have three monsters with similar abilities, so I'll choose him," Lin Huang confirmed with a feeble smile.

Meanwhile, Zhi Ji and the rest did not notice that Lin Huang faded and disappeared after he said that.

"Jie Wu, come with me! The rest of you will defend where you are. Beware that he might have some unknown attack techniques!"

Their opponent was a Virtual God rank-8 monster. Because Lin Huang had gotten it to fight them, it could possibly mean that it was a quadruple mutated mythical-level. The monster might not be defeated by low-level and mid-level Virtual Gods. Even a Virtual God rank-7 Virtual God might not be able to break its defense. Therefore, Zhi Ji did not attack directly but delegated the responsibilities to the rest.

The Nightmare Tapir did not attack immediately either. A gleam of disdain flashed through its eyes when he saw the 11 of them summoning their god relic battle armors and weapons right away and glaring at it with their guards up.

Zhi Ji was the first to move. He did not attack immediately. Instead, he was running towards the side rapidly. He seemed to be trying to attract the Nightmare Tapir's attention from the looks of it.

Meanwhile, Jie Wu was the second to move. He headed towards the opposite direction while Zhi Ji went quietly.

Clearly, both of them planned to attack the Nightmare Tapir from the front and behind.

However, just when the duo stayed in position and charged at the Nightmare Tapir from the front and back, it swung its trunk and shrieked louder than thunder.

The deafening shriek pierced through the eleven people's eardrums like some demonic tune hurting their heads.

Even Jie Wu and Zhi Ji who were charging at it covered their ears immediately. They felt like tens of thousands of thunderclaps had exploded in their heads. The roar of endless thunders was screaming in their heads continuously.

However, it was useless to cover their ears since the shriek pierced through their souls directly.

Zhi Ji and Jie Wu only felt their heads hurting terribly, but the remaining nine of them from Misery collapsed onto the ground one after another.

The three powerhouses on Virtual God rank-3 fell onto the ground almost as soon as the shriek was released. The five mid-level Virtual Gods only lasted less than 30 seconds before also collapsing onto the ground. Meanwhile, the Virtual God rank-7 spat foam after lasting for almost three minutes.

Zhi Ji and Jie Wu, on the other hand, began to adapt to the headache three minutes later. Then, they struggled to stand up still.

They realized they were the only two left among the 11.

Until then, Zhi Ji and Jie Wu finally understood why Lin Huang had gotten the 11 of them to fight together.

Zhi Ji understood Lin Huang's ironic act of kindness and could not help thinking to himself, 'This monster really has the ability to fight 11 people!"

Chapter 1174: The Cat-and-Mouse Game

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In reality, Zhi Ji already had speculation about the ability Lin Huang was hiding when Jie Sha and Zhi Lu were killed. He guessed that his ability should be above Virtual God rank-7. Now that he saw Lin Huang and noticed his two Virtual God rank-8 imperial monsters, he developed new speculation about Lin Huang's ability. He felt that Lin Huang had techniques to fight a Virtual God rank-9.

Even though he thought he had overestimated Lin Huang's hidden ability, he never expected Lin Huang to summon a Virtual God rank-8 imperial monster and defeat almost all of Misery's core team in one go.

Seeing the other members on the ground, Zhi Ji and Jie Wu glanced at each other and saw the fear in each other's eyes.

"This guy is definitely quadruple mutated! Be careful." Zhi Ji guessed that only the Nightmare Tapir was quadruple mutated earlier. However, he was sure of it now. "I'll distract him and you can check on the rest of them."

Jie Wu nodded lightly and appeared next to the other members in a flash. He was relieved after checking on them. He then spoke to Zhi Ji through voice transmission, "They're just unconscious, but they're alright."

In reality, both of them knew very well that the low-level and mid-level Virtual Gods were still alive because the Nightmare Tapir held its power back. Clearly, Lin Huang hoped to take over the complete team after he won the battle.

Seeing the nine of the 11 fall while the remaining two had adapted to his attack and were walking, the Nightmare Tapir finally began the first round of attack.

The thunderous roar that screamed in their heads stopped all of a sudden. Zhi Ji and Jie Wu's heads were peaceful now, and they felt like the world was beautiful again.

To prevent the battle from affecting the remaining nine, Jie Wu dragged them into his God Territory.

On the other hand, Zhi Ji used his Divine Telekinesis to check the floors below. He was completely relieved when he found out that the floors outside the defense layer were not affected.

"Don't worry. This is just a sparring session. I know my limits." The Nightmare Tapir's voice came into their ears slowly. "If you give your attention to something else, both of you might be killed by me in the next attack!"

Jie Wu glared at the Nightmare Tapir madly without saying anything.

Meanwhile, Zhi Ji nodded at the Nightmare Tapir calmly. "Indeed, we were a little distracted earlier, but we'll pay attention now."

The Nightmare Tapir grinned when both of them adjusted themselves and paid it all of their attention. "That's more like it."

Seeing the Nightmare Tapir encouraging his opponents, Lin Huang, who was watching the battle outside the dreamland, was speechless. "Why are you encouraging them? Don't be reckless and lose the battle!"

"Don't worry. They can't defeat me in my dreamland!" The Nightmare Tapir's response made Lin Huang even more speechless now.

"Where exactly did you learn to be so full of yourself?" Lin Huang could not help but mumble softly.

"It's the God Figurine's Combat Soul that you visualized. Naturally, their consciousness is a reflection of your own." The stone tablet's voice came all of a sudden.

Lin Huang had no idea how to argue back after hearing that. "I'm only full of myself occasionally, alright?"

The stone tablet paused before speaking again after waiting for Lin Huang to admit it himself, "Of course, apart from the reflection of consciousness from you, the God Figurine's initial consciousness will remain, as well as the monster tribe's bloodline that you visualized. If you must categorize the God Figurine's Combat Soul's consciousness in detail, the reflection of your consciousness would occupy approximately 50% while 30% comes from its own consciousness and around 20% from its bloodline."

"Are you doing this on purpose? Don't you need to breathe when you speak?"

In reality, Lin Huang knew that his God Figurine's Combat Souls were very different from others.

The Combat Souls that he consolidated from his visualization were complete individuals whereby their combat strength would not be restricted by his own combat strength. If there were enough resources, their combat strength could almost elevate endlessly to the limit they could bear.

Moreover, the Combat Souls were consolidated through the visualization of Protoss's God Figurine as the foundation and the powerful monsters on the True Spirit Guide as the mold and the sea of spirit energy. Their level easily surpassed quadruple mutation.

Apart from that, his God Figurine's Combat Souls came with complete personal consciousness and even had terrifying learning abilities.

Meanwhile, the combat strength of the Combat Souls belonging to the rest of the people in this gravel world would be restricted by their master's combat strength. The highest the God Figurine's Combat Souls could go would be their master's combat strength. The Combat Soul's level would also be limited by the monsters they hunted. Most of them were triple mutated. There were very few that were triple and a half mutated. As for the Combat Soul's consciousness, only their battle consciousness was left behind. They would only move by command without any ability to think.

Even though they managed to refine a God Figurine and integrated the Combat Soul, they would only have a God Figurine's puppet.

Compared to normal Combat Souls, their God Figurine's Combat Souls were not much different from the normal Combat Souls apart from the fact that their bodies were slightly more powerful and had a better ability to carry out the skills that the God Figurines could initially do.

Because of all these reasons, many people thought Lin Huang's God Figurine's Combat Souls were his summoning beasts when they saw them. Under normal circumstances, only summoning beasts had complete self-consciousness and high intelligence.

In reality, due to the God Figurine's Combat Souls' numerous flaws, many powerful genius powerhouses were unwilling to spend time refining them. To them, God Figurine's Combat Souls were not a great help. Besides draining an immense amount of Divine Power, their combat efficiency was only so-so, hence they would rather fight on their own. They would rather elevate their own combat strength or cultivate battle skills than spend the time to refine God Figurine's Combat Souls.

However, Lin Huang broke many limitations of the God Figurine's Combat Souls and they became his trump card.

It gave him the ability to conquer the entire gravel world with his imperial-level combat strength.

Meanwhile, the Nightmare Tapir was at ease as it fought the duo in the dreamland. In reality, it already had the ability to kill Virtual God rank-9s when it was on Virtual God rank-5 back then. Even though Zhi Ji and Jie Wu's abilities were slightly more powerful than normal a Virtual God rank-9's, there was a limit to it. Moreover, it was no longer on Virtual God rank-5 now.

The Nightmare Tapir had been holding back its abilities and merely performed at Zhi Ji and Jie Wu's level to play a game of cat-and-mouse.

Since it had the ability to copy the skills that it had seen in the dreamland, Zhi Ji and Jie Wu were having a tough time fighting it.

Lin Huang, who had been watching the battle, said nothing. After all, the Nightmare Tapir needed the opportunity to practice and he was worried that it would be excluded from performing techniques that were on par with True God.

Meanwhile, Zhi Ji and Jie Wu were extremely clumsy in the dreamland.

The Nightmare Tapir's ever-changing techniques made them fail to expect what was its next move at all.

Within half an hour, they had drained more than half of their Divine Power.

In reality, the duo only managed to attack efficiently only a few times together and they spent most of the time running away from the Nightmare Tapir's attacks. The draining of their Divine Power was mainly caused by the impact of the Nightmare Tapir's attacks.

Chapter 1175: I'll Be A Little More Serious

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In the dreamland, the 999th floor of the Sky Pagoda was thrown into chaos.

Jie Wu was running while panting hard. His eyes were a little bloodshot and he was obviously in disbelief.

Not far away, Zhi Ji's chest was going also heaving up and down. However, his eyes were clear while he maintained his calmness.

"Theoretically, this guy's Divine Power should've been drained many times more than ours. However, it doesn't seem tired at all and its Divine Power has remained at the same level. It proves that it might have some special technique to replenish its Divine Power. No matter what the reason is, our chances of winning will drop if this goes on," Zhi Ji said to Jie Wu through voice transmission.

"I've told you to kill it since the beginning, but you told me to preserve our Divine Power and find the opportunity to fight back. Now, it's been half an hour. This monster with the trunk has attacked us more than 4,000 times and we've only attacked it four times together," Jie Wu mocked through voice transmission. The mustache above his lips looked like it was flying away.

"Indeed, I miscalculated," Zhi Ji admitted his mistake.

"So, what's the plan? Do we take his attacks on directly, fight him for one round and mess up his rhythm?" Jie Wu asked first and gave his own suggestion later on.

"We can't do that. It'll drain too much of our Divine Power." Zhi Ji shook his head to decline the suggestion. He only spoke a moment after thinking it through, "I'll defend. You'll be responsible for attacking."

Zhi Ji took out a god relic shield as soon as he was done speaking. He stopped running all of a sudden after inserting Divine Power into it. Then, he spun around and defended the Nightmare Tapir's air slices from mauling him by force.

Jie Wu hid behind him in a flash.

The golden shield created a half golden sphere shield after being inserted with Divine Power. It protected the duo.

Seeing that the duo changed the battle model all of a sudden, the Nightmare Tapir could not help but raise a brow. It subsequently revealed a delighted expression that looked human instead of feeling stunned.

In reality, chasing and suppressing the duo was boring for it. Clearly, the duo's defending and retaliating was much more interesting.

"Fight me now. That'll be more interesting." The Nightmare Tapir was smirking in joy.

Zhi Ji headed towards the Nightmare Tapir swiftly, holding the golden shield.

Meanwhile, Jie Wu followed closely behind him. The tip of the spear that he was holding had a white glow the size of a rice.

Just when Zhi Ji was 100 meters away from the Nightmare Tapir, it did not seem to have sensed the danger around it. Instead, it stood where it was. However, behind Zhi Ji, Jie Wu vanished in a flash.

Jie Wu arrived around ten meters before the Nightmare Tapir when he appeared again.

Before the Nightmare Tapir could react, he charged with the bronze spear in his hand. Endless white glow shot out of the tip of the spear and drown the Nightmare Tapir in it.

"Is it over?!" Jie Wu and Zhi Ji thought of that almost at the same time.

However, a voice entered their ears at the moment. "What are you guys waiting for? Are you looking for me?"

The duo spread their Divine Telekinesis as soon as the voice boomed. They searched anxiously for the Nightmare Tapir's coordinates.

However, Zhi Ji had goosebumps as soon as he spread his Divine Telekinesis. The Nightmare Tapir was just ten meters behind him!

'If he hadn't spoken earlier and attacked directly, I think I might've been dead now.' Zhi Ji saw a whip coming at him just when he thought about his mortality. The whip was growing at an alarming speed, so he backed off immediately. At the same time, he inserted Divine Power into the shield.

Meanwhile, Jie Wu, who was on the other side, noticed that Zhi Ji had lured the Nightmare Tapir to attack him. He flashed and swung his spear at the Nightmare Tapir again.

The silver spear charged like a lightning, arriving before the Nightmare Tapir in the blink of an eye. The stars that were shining at the tip of the spear were pointing at its head.

Almost immediately, the Nightmare Tapir mauled it with its claws which collided with the silver tip of spear.

The intense contact flung Jie Wu out.

On the other side, the Nightmare Tapir's trunk collided with Zhi Ji's shield almost at the same time. Zhi Ji also flew out with the shield.

If the Nightmare Tapir did not hold back its ability, the duo would have definitely died from the collision.

However, since the Nightmare Tapir suppressed its ability to be on par with Zhi Ji and Jie Wu, they only shot out from the collision instead of suffering any physical injuries.

The duo adjusted themselves and went back into their high-morale battle mode.

The intense battle began again!

Since their collaboration went well, Zhi Ji and Jie Wu were becoming more and more in sync.

The three silhouettes collided over and over again in the air.

Zhi Ji was not always the one who was responsible for defending whereby they would exchange their responsibilities occasionally, causing a bit of trouble for the Nightmare Tapir.

However, the Nightmare Tapir's Divine Power remained stable as time passed by. No matter how it attacked relentlessly, the Nightmare Tapir's Divine Power seemed to be bottomless.

Meanwhile, Zhi Ji and Jie Wu, on the other hand, could not do the same. The draining of their Divine Power was clearly faster than before since they initiated the attacks.

Their Divine Power was almost non-existent within the short 20 minutes. Zhi Ji and Jie Wu were helpless.

"It seems like we're losing. My Divine Power is only sufficient for one last attack!"

"Mine too."

Naturally, the Nightmare Tapir noticed the changes in the duo's Divine Power. It knew that they were coming to a dead end.

"The both of your Divine Powers are finished. To show my respect, I'll be a little more serious in my last attack. You guys will lose in vain if I keep dragging you around like this."

Zhi Ji and Jie Wu were puzzled.

"This guy held back his abilities? Who is it kidding?"

"I think it's just bragging. After all, everyone knows how to brag."

A gleam of disdain flashed through the Nightmare Tapir's eyes again when it saw that they were in disbelief.

With an aggressive swing of its trunk, a red glow lit up in the sky all of a sudden.

All Zhi Ji and Jie Wu could feel were the red glow approaching them at the speed of light. They were drowned in the red glow before they could even react.

They flew out directly, the very last drop of Divine Power in them evaporating.

Without the support of Divine Power, their god relics retreated back into their bodies. Their bodies that had lost the protection of the god relics were fragile under the immense suppression, so their bones were crushed completely.

Zhi Ji and Jie Wu gaped at their bodies in shock. Their bones began to be pulverized from the chest spreading all over their bodies. From their shoulders to the tip of their fingers, from their pelvic bones to their toes, and from their chest to their back…

At that very moment, Zhi Ji and Jie Wu sensed the very horror of death.

As their bones were crushed, their organs turned into mush. They watched their bodies become distorted and sunken. It was the longest and scariest one second that they had ever experienced in their lives.

Fortunately, all of the bone-crushing and tremors came to a halt abruptly right before the horror spread to their skulls.

Only able to move their heads, they felt like they were fish on the chopping board at the moment, waiting for death.

Until then, they finally realized their differences in abilities compared to the Nightmare Tapir.

However, the Nightmare Tapir did not tell them that that was not even its maximum performance level.

Chapter 1176: From Today Onwards, You Guys Will Have Support!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In reality, the Nightmare Tapir's last attack was very close to a True God's attack.

Although one had no idea if the attack would be rebounded back by the gravel world if he were to perform a True God's ability, his real combat strength was only on Virtual God rank-8 after all. Recalling Lin Huang's warning earlier, the Nightmare Tapir maintained the attack below True God without stepping out of the line.

Even though that was the case, the attack suppressed Zhi Ji and Jie Wu like a piece of cake.

He even had the ability to control the intensity of the attack to stop it from spreading before it arrived at the duo's heads.

Zhi Ji and Jie Wu felt like they escaped death from the attack.

The Divine Power in their bodies were drained completely when the collision happened. As a result, their god relics retreated back to their bodies. The intense attack crushed their bodies one after another when it reached their bodies. If the Nightmare Tapir did not manage to control its power, their skulls and brains might have turned into mush by now.

Left with their heads, the duo saw darkness envelop them and the Nightmare Tapir then released them from the dreamland.

All 11 of them from Misery looked puzzled when they returned to reality all of a sudden.

Apart from Zhi Ji and Jie Wu, the rest had no idea what happened. All they remembered was the Nightmare Tapir's thunderous shriek and they blacked out. To their absolute surprise, they were sitting at the meeting table in peace when they woke up.

Zhi Ji and Jie Wu were in shock. They only realized that the tough battle that they were in was only a dream after seeing that their bodies were perfectly fine while they were sitting in the meeting room and everything around them was in one piece. Never had they thought they would be dragged into the dreamland without realizing it.

Nevertheless, they dared not underestimate the Nightmare Tapir. They knew that if they were killed in the dreamland, they would truly die in reality. They would not have a chance of waking up.

Meanwhile, the Nightmare Tapir had shrunk and laid by Lin Huang's feet at that moment.

The Ninetails Lynx also revealed itself. It shrunk into a kitten and lay on Lin Huang's shoulder.

Zhi Ji and Jie Wu looked at the Nightmare Tapir in fear. However, their pupils shrunk when they saw the kitten that was pretending to sleep on Lin Huang's shoulder as they sensed its true aura.

Lin Huang smirked and trained his eyes on Zhi Ji directly. "I won the bet."

Zhi Ji nodded before Lin Huang proceeded to speak further. "We've lost. We're willing to do as we promised!"

"From today onwards, Misery will be under your jurisdiction, Master Emperor! We'll publish an announcement within 24 hours telling the entire gravel world about this news."

"Oh, no. We're the only ones who need to know about Misery being under my jurisdiction. There's no need to inform the world. You don't have to announce it, so the Union Government won't think I'm trying to take over them," Lin Huang waved his hands and said while smiling.

Lin Huang was even delegating all of his responsibilities as the Emperor of Dynasty. He knew that he could not take up the responsibility as chief of the Union Government.

He had never thought of taking over the Union Government. Although it was glorious being a leader, the role would come with great responsibilities.

In reality, the Union Government had been doing a great job throughout the hundreds of years. From building safety zones from nothing and building as well as maintaining all sorts of regulations, Lin Huang knew he definitely could not do any better than they had.

Moreover, compared to being the leader of a gravel world, he would rather explore a bigger world to see what was outside this gravel world.

"Misery is still Misery on the surface. Nothing has changed," Lin Huang continued, "I don't need you guys to convert into a neutral organization either, but we hope that Misery will be the leader of the underground world and law enforcer, just like the Union Government's position in the union organization. Your mission is to standardize all the underground organizations' doings."

The people from Misery initially looked upset as they thought Lin Huang would make their organization a neutral one. They never thought Lin Huang would have made such an arrangement instead.

"I'll come up with a code of conduct for underground organizations. You guys think of ways to promote it. I'll give you guys some suggestions. You can use Dynasty being dismissed from the underground world as a reference."

Zhi Ji and the rest frowned slightly as people from the underground organizations obeyed no one. The mission that Lin Huang had assigned them was definitely a tough one.

"Oh yeah, you actually do need to publish an announcement. However, it has nothing to do with me. It's about Misery's statement of agreeing to Dynasty pulling out from the underground world. Just make it simple."

"We'll sort it out later." Zhi Ji nodded lightly.

"I'll treat you well for being under my jurisdiction. You guys will have the same treatment as Dynasty does. Whatever Dynasty has, you guys will have it too."

"I'll register you guys as an affiliate organization of Royal, so you'll enjoy the same treatment as Dynasty does. You guys didn't have support in the great world back then, but now you do!"

By doing so, Lin Huang was binding himself completely to Misery. Misery would become an organization under him officially instead of having a vague verbal agreement.

After all, Misery was the No. 1 underground organization. Throughout the years, they had heard of Royal that was behind Dynasty. Although they did not know much about Royal, they knew that it was a major organization in the great world.

Naturally, Misery was willing to have support from such a major organization.

"Just like Dynasty, we'll give you access to the many trial zones in Royal. It depends on how willing you are to give in to obtain cultivation resources."

Zhi Ji and the rest's eyes lit up when they heard that. Misery's current issue in development was the lack of resources. If they had sufficient resources, Misery could have over 30 Virtual Gods now.

"As for the ruins and sites that you currently own, they'll still be yours. Just like Dynasty, we'll have our own possessions, and nobody will interfere with each other. Of course, if you guys are lacking the manpower to explore ruins and sites, you can ask me for Dynasty's help. On the other hand, I'll also request assistance from you if Dynasty has such a need," Lin Huang said intentionally to tell Zhi Ji that he was not interested in the Buddhist city ruins that they were hiding.

"I won't be going through Misery's treasury, but there are a few things that I hope that you guys can collect for me." Lin Huang had already seen what was in Misery's treasury in Zhi Lu and the rest's memories. Indeed, there was nothing that he was interested in.

"Do tell, Master Emperor."

"The first are the Godheads and broken Godheads. The more, the better. The second one would be the god-level soul crystals. The higher the grade and the more of them there are, the better. The third thing, other items that contain a sea of spiritual energy…"

Chapter 1177: Misery's Announcement

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After adding Misery to Royal's list, then getting Zhi Ji and Jie Wu's signature as well as stamping the list with Misery's chop, Lin Huang finally owned his second affiliated organization.

Since the registration was done, Lin Huang delegated the responsibilities to Zhi Ji and Jie Wu after holding a simple meeting with the 11 Misery Virtual Gods.

Naturally, he did not forget to return Jie Sha, Zhi Lu, and Ku Zhen's bodies to Misery before leaving so that they could be buried.

It was almost noon when he returned to Emperor City.

Huang Tianfu was the first to welcome him after seeing his return. "Master Emperor, how was the discussion with Misery?"

"It was pretty successful," Lin Huang said with a wide grin. "They'll publish an announcement either today or tomorrow to verify the fact that Dynasty has been pulled out of the underground world."

"Wow, the people from Misery let you off so easily?" Huang Tianfu was baffled to hear that.

After all, Lin Huang had killed people from Misery, so it was pretty impossible for them to be so friendly to him.

"They're Buddhist cultivators after all. They'll listen as long as what I say makes sense," Lin Huang explained smugly. He did not utter the last sentence that he wanted to say, 'Everything makes sense when you have a bigger fist!'

The impression Huang Tianfu had on Misery was different. Hearing how Lin Huang made it so simple, the more he thought that Lin Huang's ability was unfathomable.

"Oh yeah, how's the gathering of the Godheads and the rest that I asked you to collect for me?"

"We didn't collect many Godheads. There are only 11. Very few organizations are willing to sell that. We have slightly more broken Godheads. There are over 200 of them. There are also very few high-grade god-level soul crystals. We've only collected three."

Huang Tianfu took out a temporary storage ring and gave it to Lin Huang who then patted Huang Tianfu's shoulder.

"Thanks for the hard work. Continue to collect them and let me know if the money is insufficient. Don't use Dynasty's money. These are things I personally asked for after all."

"Your humble one understands." Huang Tianfu nodded.

"Anything else? If not, I'll go into closed-door cultivation in the Emperor's Palace." Lin Huang could not wait to refine the Godheads that he had just obtained.

"I can basically handle the rest here! However, the heretics sent an invitation this morning saying that they'll visit us. I think it's better for you to be present, Master Emperor."

"The heretics?" Lin Huang was stunned to hear the familiar name. "Why are they visiting us?"

"They didn't specify the exact reason. They only said that they're visiting since they're also a neutral organization," Huang Tianfu informed the reason the heretics included in the invitation helplessly.

"It does sound like what they would say." Lin Huang could not help but recall the time when he fought the heretics. They were insane like that. "Let them come then. We'll just chase them out if they stir trouble up here. I won't be going into closed-door cultivation these two days then. Let's see what the heretics want."

Lin Huang began sorting out the loot he had obtained that day as soon as he returned to the Emperor's Palace.

It was a rewarding trip to Misery this time. Misery had more than a hundred Godheads of all grades alone and up to 1,00 broken Godheads. There were more than ten types of god-level soul crystals and at least ten different treasures containing spiritual energy.

Lin Huang had retrieved the methods the people from Misery cultivated from Zhi Lu and the rest's memories. Nevertheless, he got Zhi Ji to make a copy of all of the methods that they excavated from the ruins.

After sorting out the loot, Lin Huang did not go into cultivation immediately. Instead, he summoned Bloody.

"There are up to a hundred Buddhist cultivation methods here. Most of them can get one to virtual god-level. You can refer to them and see if you can integrate them with the ancient methods that I gave you before coming up with a few sets of new methods."

"I'll try." In her red dress, Bloody sat with her legs crossed in the Emperor's Palace after getting the Buddhist methods from Lin Huang. She then began to study those Buddhist methods that she had just obtained.

Lin Huang, on the other hand, took out the god-level soul crystals from his storage space and summoned the Shackle Serpent.

As a control-type of God Figurine's Combat Soul, the Shackle Serpent had mediocre battle ability but remarkable sealing ability. Lin Huang had taken some time to think about it before deciding to pick it as the fourth God Figurine's Combat Soul to be elevated to Virtual God rank-8.

He tossed the soul crystals at the Shackle Serpent which opened its jaws wide and swallowed all the 18 soul crystals into its stomach.

Subsequently, Lin Huang took out the treasures containing spiritual energy and fed them to the Shackle Serpent one after another.

Although the Shackle Serpent's aura was being upgraded, it was still some distance away from elevating its combat strength after finishing all the materials.

In reality, the elevation of the God Figurine's Combat Soul's combat strength was the easiest to Lin Huang. As long as he had sufficient resources, the upgrade was possible. However, now that the resources were insufficient, their combat strength elevation would become a long, arduous journey.

Since Lin Huang knew that, he did not feel troubled at all. He patted the Shackle Serpent's head and recalled it back to his body.

Lin Huang left Bloody alone upon seeing that she was in the zone with her legs crossed.

He took out all of the Godheads and broken Godheads, then tossed them into his body without hesitation. The Godheads and broken Godheads he obtained this round combined together with the Virtual God rank-9 Godhead he had were sufficient to get him to imperial-level rank-3.

However, since the heretics were visiting tomorrow, he had to wait for a day before he could go into closed-door cultivation.

Sensing the broken Godheads being refined automatically in his body one after another and flowing into his Life Palace after turning into Divine Power, he could clearly feel that the Divine Power provided by the broken Godheads was decreasing.

"The broken Godheads' effect is dropping immensely before I've even gotten to imperial-level rank-2. I think the broken Godheads would lose their effect entirely when I get to imperial-level rank-3. Furthermore, the effect of the Virtual God rank-1 and rank-2 Godheads would have dropped by heaps by then."

Considering that he had something to deal with tomorrow, Lin Huang refrained from refining the Godheads. He was afraid that he might be unwilling to stop as soon as he got into refinement mode.

He thought about it for a while and sat with his legs crossed. Then, he began cultivating Seamless.

However, Lin Huang had no idea that the entire cultivation world was stirred up not long after he stepped into the Emperor's Palace.

The announcement published by Misery was the reason for the uproar.

This was the rough content of the announcement: "After a friendly discussion between Misery and Dynasty, Misery feels sorry that Dynasty is pulling out of the underground organization. However, we respect the decision that Dynasty has made, and we wish Dynasty the best in their development as a neutral organization."

The simple two sentences caused many different encryptions by countless people.

Most of them thought Dynasty had bribed Misery. They must have come to a secret agreement for which Dynasty might have paid a big price.

Only organizations such as the Union Government that knew Lin Huang's ability very well could figure out this matter might not be as simple as it seemed.

In the Union Government headquarters, Jiang Shan looked out of the floor-to-ceiling window while frowning a little. "Lin Huang's ability is so much more powerful than we estimated!"

Chapter 1178: Eight Sedans, Is That Grandeur Enough?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The announcement from Misery caused a stir.

Misery, which had been staying low-key for many years, became the No. 1 trending topic on all the social media platforms.

Dynasty soon trended as No. 1. However, not many talked about Lin Huang this time. After all, it did not seem to be very much related to him this time.

"Dynasty has been doing so many things recently. They came up with an agreement earlier and it has only been two to three days, but they're already at peace with Misery. I wonder what will happen next."

"They had just dropped from the top ten trending topics this morning and they've risen back to No. 2 in the afternoon. They're amazing!"

"They're trending everyday. I'm a little tempted to join Dynasty for the exposure."

"The neutral organization, Dynasty, welcomes everyone to join us! You can join as long as you pass Dynasty's assessment and are at least 16 years old. No matter what your gender is, what kind of person you are, how you look like, your height, weight, and sexual preferences… We don't discriminate. We welcome minors below 16 too as long as you've got your guardian's permission!" That was the response Dynasty posted on their official account.

"Damn, their official account is so playful! Can a gender-bender join too? Asking for a friend."

"Of course, there's no gender restriction o(*3)o," responded the official account.

"Are you talking about yourself when you said you were asking for your friend?!" Many people commented below.

"I'm also asking for a friend. Can a person who weighs 800 pounds join?"

"Sure, we accept anyone who passes the assessment," the official account replied again.

"800 pounds… Did you eat the weighing machine when you were growing up?"

"Wow, that weight is ten times more than mine!"

"The commenter who said he's 80 pounds, you must have looked at the wrong unit. Am I right?"

Misery's account was jammed pack as well. However, the admin taking care of Misery's account seemed to be a cold person, and he replied to none of the comments.

No matter what the people commented, the admin remained silent.

It was crowded on all the social media sites, and even more so on the black market forum.

After all, it was about Misery. It attracted tons of attention as soon as the announcement was made.

However, the first thought everyone had when they saw the announcement was, 'The account that posted the thread has to be fake, isn't it?"

However, the account was verified by the forum when they refreshed the thread. It caused a stir among the commenters.

Nobody could believe that Misery compromised with Dynasty and permitted them to pull out!

Initially, most people from the underground organizations were upset with Dynasty's decision.

How could a top three underground organization pull out from the underground world and convert to a neutral organization?

However, most of them were only criticizing Dynasty online. None of them had the guts to confront Dynasty face-to-face.

Hearing that Misery visited Dynasty, they thought Misery was going to claim justice, whereby they would definitely teach Dynasty and Lin Huang a good lesson.

They never thought that that would be the outcome. They could not believe that Misery permitted Dynasty to pull out.

Many of them looked dumbstruck when they saw the announcement Misery published.

However, many people shifted their rage away from Dynasty to Misery in the thread.

"Why don't you guys pull out from the underground world just like Dynasty did? The neutral organization would definitely welcome you guys with open arms!"

"This announcement… They were obviously bribed!"

"I thought Misery would claim justice. I can't believe they put up a show like this."

Although many people were criticizing them on the black market forum, Misery did not explain themselves.

Meanwhile, in foothold No. 2A13 of Freedom City, the 13 of them gathered in the meeting room of the heretics' headquarters.

The baby-faced man sitting in the main seat took his mask off. He wore a black robe.

He glanced at everyone before speaking, "I'm visiting Dynasty tomorrow. Those who are willing to go with me, please raise your hand."

The 12 of them at the meeting table were doing everything else such as digging their noses and rubbing their feet. None of them seemed to be listening to their leader. None of them even raised their hands.

Baby-face cleared his throat, feeling a little embarrassed upon seeing that. He changed his way of conveying the message by shouting directly, "Those who are unwilling to go, raise your hand!"

The meeting room was peaceful. Still, nobody raised their hands.

Baby-face looked helpless. Clearly, it was not the first time such a thing had happened.

"Since none of you are volunteering, I'll pick on my own. Whoever I pick later must go with me. I don't care if you're unwilling by then!"

"Boss, I remember that girl, Xia Yu, spoke to Lin Huang before. You can bring her with you. It's easier to go with someone familiar with the Emperor after all. Moreover, she's a Virgen. She's a suitable candidate to go to the meeting with you." The person who spoke was a middle-aged man with stubbles on his face and was picking his nose. His voice sounded nasal.

"Hey, stop giving stupid ideas, okay?" The hunk, who was rubbing his feet, could not help but confront him. "Xia Yu told me about her encounter with Lin Huang before. She was trying to bring Lin Huang back to the heretics back then, but he fought back hard, so the mission failed. It should be an upsetting experience for Lin Huang."

"Ah, so that's what happened. Indeed, I've never heard of this story before. I thought they were friends." The hunk, who was picking his nose, dug a sticky booger out of his nostril without a care in the world and flicked it at the trash can with a sign written 'residual' on it.

"Hey, can you stop doing such a disgusting act in front of everyone?"

"How is that disgusting? Have you never dug your nose in your whole life?! Furthermore, how's your habit of rubbing your feet any better than mine?" The middle-aged man digging his nose confronted and taunted before he was done.

"Alright, alright. Stop fighting," pacified Baby-face immediately. "I'll ask Xia Yu later. She'll go with me if she's okay with it."

"How about the rest? Do you guys want me to go with just a little girl? I'm the heretics' Presiding Judge after all. If we don't show any grandeur, people will think that the heretics are dead," Baby-face argued again.

"What kind of grandeur do you want? You're not getting married anyway," complained the young lady who was biting her nails in silence. Although her voice was soft, everyone heard her loud and clear.

"That's right. Do you want us to rent eight sedans and get eight muscular hunks to carry you to Dynasty's headquarters?" argued the middle-aged man digging his nose in his nasal voice, "Is that grand enough?"

"I think that's a terrific idea. We'll definitely trend the next day. I've already thought of the news title, 'Breaking News: The Heretics' Presiding Judge is Married to Dynasty!" crowed the hunk rubbing his feet.

"Are both of you eager to be smacked?" Baby-face glared at both of them and subsequently looked at the rest. "Since none of you volunteered, I'll pick the candidates then."

Chapter 1179: Heretics' Visit

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Lin Huang was woken up from his cultivation by the alarm on his Emperor's Heart Ring at 8 a.m.

He stopped cultivating Seamless immediately and left the Emperor's Palace after getting up to wash up. He left Bloody behind in the palace to continue coming up with the methods.

The meeting with the heretics would be at 9 a.m. It was not even 9.50 a.m. when he came back from breakfast. Just as he stepped into Dynasty's headquarters, a voice echoed all around Emperor City, "The Heretics' Presiding Judge, Sun Zhuo, visits Dynasty with the Vice Presiding Judge and the Virgen!"

Lin Huang stopped walking upon hearing the voice. He turned towards the direction of the voice, looking stunned. "They're the heretics alright. They even brought their own announcer."

It was crowded in the Emperor City. Especially with those cultivators, someone soon posted about it on the Heart Network and all the social media platforms.

Dynasty that was initially trending as No. 2 achieved first place in less than ten minutes after the news spread.

All the social media platforms were busy early in the morning.

"Holy sh*t! They're conquering the union organization, the underground organizations, and the neutral organizations! Is Dynasty planning to conquer the world and become the ruler?"

"They were involved with the Union Government a few days ago. They flirted with Misery yesterday and are dating the heretics today. Dynasty is a classic a*shole!"

"The commenter above is so accurate in his description! I already have the live version in my head."

"They really look like a*sholes if you put it this way! I'm crying from my laughter ＼(*TT*)／"

Four official accounts responded to that comment.

"A*shole! ヾ(｡Д｡)ﾉ彡," commented the heretics' official account.

"A*shole! ヽ(#Д)ﾉ," commented the Union Government's official account.

"Hehe," commented Misery's official account.

"???," commented Dynasty's official account.

As people were discussing fervently on the Internet, the people from the heretics had walked into Dynasty's headquarters.

Lin Huang and the three Grand Dukes welcomed them.

The heretics' Presiding Judge looked the same as Lin Huang had seen from the video a few years ago. He still wore his black robe and a terrifying white mask on his face.

"I'm the heretics' Presiding Judge, Sun Zhuo." The Presiding Judge in a terrifying mask introduced the other three behind him after a simple self-introduction. There was a man and two ladies standing behind him.

Lin Huang noticed the middle-aged man behind him immediately because the man clearly had a Virtual God rank-3 aura. He looked like he was over 40 years old with a plump body. He had stubble all over his face and looked like he was sleep-deprived.

"This is our Vice Presiding Judge, Zhou Tong."

"This is our Presiding Judge Elder, Cao Ya." Sun Zhuo then pointed at the one who was skinnier among the two ladies.

The lady was very petite. She was less than 1.5 meters tall even in her shoes. She looked like a 12 to 13-year-old girl. She dyed her hair purple and divided it into two ponytails. She did not look like an adult no matter what.

However, Lin Huang knew very well that her real age definitely exceeded what she seemed like because her combat strength was clearly on demigod-level.

As for the last lady, Lin Huang actually recognized her as soon as he saw her.

The lady was the heretics Virgen who had attempted to capture him back to the heretics last time.

"This is the heretics' Virgen, Xia Yu." Sun Zhuo and the rest were secretly observing Lin Huang's response when Sun Zhuo said that.

Lin Huang merely peeped at Xia Yu and nodded. "I know. We met three years ago." However, he only glanced at her and stopped giving her attention.

The heretics' Virgen had been on blue flame-level back then while Lin Huang, who had been on bronze-level, could only run clumsily when they met. Now that three years had passed, although this lady had experienced a great improvement whereby she was on immortal-level rank-5 now, he had surpassed her by heaps.

Meanwhile, Xia Yu was observing Lin Huang secretly.

She had a deep impression of Lin Huang because he was the one and only mission that she had ever failed in her life. Since she found out about Lin Huang's identity as the Emperor throughout the half a year, she would occasionally follow the news about him.

She would always feel it was absurd whenever she saw Lin Huang doing something dramatic on the news. The little guy who had only been on bronze-level back then had surpassed her immensely no matter whether it came to combat strength, ability, or identity.

After the heretics introduced their people, Lin Huang also gave a simple introduction to his people. They then entered the office with the heretics. He closed the meeting room door after the four heretics had entered.

The heretics' Presiding Judge finally removed his mask then. Lin Huang finally saw how he really looked like. He could not believe that he had such a baby face that made him looked like he was only in his early 20s.

Huang Tianfu and the other two were surprised too.

"I never thought the heretics' Presiding Judge would be so young," Lin Huang teased while smiling.

"Stop teasing me, Master Emperor. My parents gave me this face, so there's nothing that I can do about it. I've always been treated as a little brother by everyone who's the same age since I was a kid," Sun Zhuo said while smiling helplessly.

Lin Huang could roughly understand why Sun Zhuo insisted on wearing a mask whenever he was out. In reality, not only did he have a babyface, but he also looked like a harmless, kind person. One could say that he was not threatening at all.

Although Lin Huang was also young and handsome, his glory on the Stairway Tree was known to the world. Nobody dared to underestimate the No. 1 genius of the era. Furthermore, as long as he did not smile and showed a poker face, he would be taken seriously no matter where he went.

However, Sun Zhuo would look like a dummy if he had a poker face with how he looked. He would look like an irritated baby when he was mad, and it would be funny.

Therefore, wearing a mask was actually a wise move.

As they were chatting, Lin Huang noticed that Xia Yu had been observing him. She looked like she had something to say but was hesitating.

"Is there anything that you would like to say, Virgen?" Lin Huang asked with a smile.

Xia Yu hesitated and decided to speak up anyway, "I'm just very curious about how you cultivated. How did you manage to cultivate so fast?!" The reason why Xia Yu asked that was that she was also a supreme genius, and she could not figure out how Lin Huang had surpassed her so much in terms of cultivation speed.

"Hmm, how do I explain this? I can only say that it depends on the body that we're born with. I adapt to Life Power faster whereby I can break through without spending too much time digesting whenever I reach each rank." Lin Huang told her the excuse that he had prepared beforehand with a grin.

Naturally, he could not tell her that he managed to elevate so quickly because he could obtain a sea of Life Power by getting his imperial monsters to kill other monsters instead of refining Life Crystals to replenish his Life Power slowly.

"I'd bring you back to the heretics even if it meant death for me if I knew you have such potential back then." Xia Yu shook her head while sighing helplessly. Until now, she regretted having passed the chance to make a good bud such as Lin Huang back then.

Sun Zhuo and the rest had a slight change of expression after hearing that. They told Xia Yu to stop talking about that through voice transmission. After all, this part of the history was not glorious to Lin Huang.

On the other hand, Lin Huang smiled while waving his hand. He accepted everything that had happened to him in the past.

"There's nothing that I can't talk about. This might be fate. If you really had captured me for the heretics back then, I might not have achieved what I have today."

"We have to make many choices at the crossroads in our lives. It might seem unimportant when we make our decisions, but it might decide where our future leads. I just happened to be fortunate enough to have made the right choice."

Chapter 1180: You're Such A Nice Person

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

They finally got in business after a while of chatting.

Lin Huang did not bother to beat around the bush, so he went straight to the topic.

"Presiding Judge, we're happy that you guys are visiting Dynasty. However, I still don't know what your purpose of visiting is since our chat earlier. Can you tell me more about that?"

"Purpose?" Sun Zhuo raised his brow when he heard Lin Huang. "Of course, we're looking into collaborating."

"Didn't you guys invited people to collaborate with Dynasty in the video a few days ago? Here we are," said the Vice Presiding Judge Zhou Tong sitting on Sun Zhuo's left while digging his nose.

Lin Huang frowned at what Zhou Tong was doing. Since he entered the meeting room, he had been picking both of his nostrils alternately with his left little finger as if he would feel uncomfortable if there was no finger stuck up one of his nostrils.

Noticing that, Lin Huang frowned at Zhou Tong. Sun Zhuo explained softly through voice transmission immediately, "Zhou Tong has always had this peculiarity since way back. He loves digging his nose. Don't mind him, Master Emperor."

"I see. I thought something was wrong with his nose," Lin Huang smiled while replying through voice transmission.

After looking away from Zhou Tong, Lin Huang unintentionally caught sight of Cao Ya who was sitting next to Zhou Tong. She was biting her fingernails.

Just when Sun Zhuo wanted to explain, Lin Huang spoke through voice transmission, "Peculiarity. I get it."

Among the three people that Sun Zhuo brought along, Xia Yu was the only one who appeared normal.

Lin Huang could not help but sympathize with Sun Zhuo. It was pretty tough to lead such an odd team.

Hearing what Zhou Tong said, as the one responsible for all matters in Dynasty, Huang Tianfu spoke, "What kind of collaboration are you looking at?"

Sun Zhuo laughed when he heard that question. "Of course, collaboration in all aspects." He signalled Cao Ya who was biting her fingernails after he said that.

Cao Ya took her finger out from her mouth calmly and projected a document from her Emperor's Heart Ring.

Lin Huang looked at the projected document while Huang Tianfu next to him turned on his Emperor's Heart Ring and accepted the document Cao Ya shared.

Lin Huang glanced through the outline of the documents roughly. Apart from the financial collaboration, the heretics listed many other aspects in the outline. It seemed like they were planning to form a thorough collaboration with Dynasty.

"I'll get Tianfu and the rest to look at the proposal. Let's chat." Lin Huang turned his head and said to Huang Tufu, "Tufu, get the kitchen to prepare some desserts."

He thought of something all of a sudden just when he said that. He asked Sun Zhuo, "Is there anything that you guys don't eat or are allergic to?"

"I'm allergic to nuts," Cao Ya answered before Sun Zhuo could speak.

Sun Zhuo shook his head helplessly. "Only Xiao Ya is allergic to nuts. The rest are fine."

"Alright." Lin Huang nodded and said to Huang Tufu again, "Get them to avoid nuts in the desserts. And ask them to prepare a few glasses of fruit tea."

Huang Tufu nodded and left after standing up.

Lin Huang began chatting with Sun Zhuo since Huang Tufu left. Huang Tianfu and Huang Wunan, on the other hand, began to study the heretics' proposal.

Soon, Huang Tufu had returned.

Sun Zhuo and the rest were surprised when they saw him taking desserts out from his storage space because he had just left for less than two minutes.

"That's quick!"

Huang Tufu smiled while nodding. "I got them to prepare this beforehand, so it was ready even before you guys get here. I told them to leave out the two desserts with nuts and brought the rest here."

Lin Huang smiled while speaking upon seeing Huang Tufu bring the fruit tea out. "Try the tea. It's a secret recipe that our back kitchen had just come up with earlier. You can only taste it at Dynasty at the moment."

There were many food cultivators in Dynasty's back kitchen, including some retired Food Hunters with amazing cooking skills. They had many secret recipes that they would not share with anyone. A particular chef might be the only one who could make that specific dish in the entire gravel world. The fruit tea that Lin Huang mentioned was clearly one of those secret recipes.

Hearing that it was a secret recipe, the people from the heretics could not help but sip it immediately.

"It's so delicious!" Cao Ya and Xiao Yu exclaimed almost at the same time.

"It feels like we're slurping on a frozen watermelon in summer," Zhou Tong said with a dazed smile after taking a sip.

"Sweet, fragrant, and a magical taste that lingers." Sun Zhuo nodded lightly. "This fruit tea is interesting."

"Try the desserts. We have a pastry chef in our back kitchen. His skill ranks among the top three in the entire gravel world." Lin Huang promoted again.

"Is he Master Zhou?!" Xia Yu asked immediately.

"Yes, he only stays with Dynasty for three days per month. He happens to be here today. These three desserts we have today are made by him." Lin Huang did not tell them that the reason Master Zhou was here was that Dynasty had gotten him back after the people from Misery visited yesterday.

Xia Yu's eyes lit up when she heard about the chef. She had loved desserts since she was a kid.

"Master Zhou has a store called Hearty in the business district near my house. The store opens at 8 a.m. but there will be people queuing from 5 a.m. until they close at 10 p.m. There's always a queue. It's even crazier during the weekends. There would always be more than a hundred people queueing. It's the most popular store in the entire business district. It even boosted the business of hiring someone to queue and purchase pastries for you. I'll have to hire someone to buy it for me every time I'm craving for their desserts."

"There's one near my house too. True, there's always a queue everyday," Cao Ya agreed.

"Those pastry chefs at Hearty were trained at the academy that Master Zhou owns. It isn't Master Zhou who teaches them but some of his students. Sometimes, it's even the students of his students. Nonetheless, the desserts that we're having today were made by Master Zhou himself this morning." Huang Tianfu could not help but interrupt them after hearing them talking about the desserts.

"Come and try," Lin Huang invited while smiling. He picked up a piece as well.

"It's so heavenly!" Xia Yu and Cao Ya cried out almost at the same time again.

"It's never too much for me to eat ten pounds of these everyday." Zhou Tong shoved the desserts into his mouth immediately.

"To be honest, I'm not a dessert person, but I can eat this every day," Sun Zhuo said while grinning after eating one.

"Boss, I think we should include Master Zhou in this collaboration. Let him work for the heretics three days a month too!" Zhou Tong announced in a muffled voice as he spoke with his mouth full.

"If he can't do three days, one day will work too!" Xia Yu offered.

Sun Zhuo was speechless.

"We can't be deciding this for Master Zhou, but since he happens to be here today, I'll bring you guys to see him after our discussion is over later. You guys can discuss the part-time matter with him," Lin Huang said while smiling.

"Emperor Lin, you're such a nice person!" Cao Ya looked grateful while Xia Yu next to her nodded.

Chapter 1181: We're Always The Realest and Liberated

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Huang Tianfu and the other two finally looked through the heretics' proposal more than half an hour later. They also came up with a preliminary conclusion.

Sun Zhuo noticed that Lin Huang did not participate in the discussion throughout the process. Instead, he delegated the task to the three Grand Dukes in relief.

He looked at Huang Tianfu and the other three and then at the three people he brought. He was getting more and more depressed upon recalling the bastards at the heretics' headquarters.

'We're both bosses. Why are we being treated so differently?'

After the three Grand Dukes were done with the discussion, Huang Tianfu went through the main points of the heretics' proposal with Lin Huang and informed him about the conclusion that they came to through voice transmission.

Lin Huang nodded after listening and said to Sun Zhuo, "Presiding Judge, we've already come to a preliminary conclusion. Tianfu, please go on." Then, he passed the stage to Huang Tianfu who nodded and projected the heretics' proposal from his Emperor's Heart Ring.

"The proposal that the heretics have provided is very thorough. It covers almost all aspects of the possible collaboration between Dynasty and the heretics that might occur in the future. They even gave very solid suggestions in some aspects which inspires us.

"In reality, this proposal is fantastic in the long run. However, we feel that this multi-faceted collaboration might be a little too rushed."

At the moment, Sun Zhuo could not help but speak up, "Maybe we weren't clear about this. This proposal itself is an idealized version of the final collaboration for both sides. Therefore, we included all possible collaborations as much as we could. The reason why we didn't include the details was mainly that we aren't sure what kind of collaboration Dynasty is looking at."

"I was going to ask about the details because we didn't see it in the proposal," Huang Tianfu responded, "But we can discuss them now.

"I think financial collaboration can be the first step. Dynasty can give our collaborators access to our internal trading system at all times. We're ready for that. We can give the access tomorrow morning if we reach an agreement today.

"In reality, we synced our trading system a day after we signed the agreement with the Union Government five days ago. The trading rate throughout the past few days experienced a 50% boost and it's still growing every day."

The four heretics looked interested as they listened keenly.

Sun Zhuo could not help but ask, "If we sync our system with yours, can we get access to the Union Government trading system too?"

"We've thought about this in the beginning and discussed with the Union Government. They give our collaborators access but it's limited. Approximately 12% of products are banned sales. Even though the trading access is only 88%, it's much higher than the 61% the Union Government gives to the public. Moreover, since the collaborators will be given online access to the trading system, there'll be a 17% premium to the sales. It's considered as commission for Dynasty."

"A 17% premium! That's a little high. Auctions usually only charge a 5% handling fee." Zhou Tong gasped.

"17% isn't actually high because you're given insider prices. Even with the 17% premium, the price that you pay is similar to the price you find in the market. No matter whether they are auctions or black markets, there'll definitely be a higher premium compared to the price you find in the market. In reality, it's not us who set the 17% premium. We were asking for 10% from the Union Government in the beginning, but they're afraid of affecting the market price which might cause the butterfly effect and influence the entire market.

"Of course, the ratio isn't fixed whereby it will be adjusted following the market price. Moreover, we'll reduce the commission accordingly for organizations that we're closer with in the future, given the condition that the items won't be resold. There will be a more detailed condition by then." Huang Tianfu provided a comprehensive explanation.

"How about the items from Dynasty? Can we enjoy insider prices too? What's the ratio of banned sales like?"

"It depends on the price the heretics are giving us. At the moment, we give the Union Government an insider price just like what the Dynasty members pay. There're no banned sales. We're not the Union Government. We have no military businesses. All of the resources are obtained from hunting and exploring ruins and sites. Therefore, there's nothing that we can't sell. The only difference between the Union Government and Dynasty members is that the latter has the priority to buy an item that they are keen to purchase at the same time."

"I get it. Priority purchase. Right. We understand that." Sun Zhuo nodded lightly when he heard the clarification. "I'll discuss the price and banned sales with the headquarters later."

"May I ask what's the banned sales ratio like working with the Union Government?" Zhou Tong asked all of a sudden. "Of course, you don't have to tell me if it's too much to ask."

Huang Tianfu looked at Lin Huang to get his approval. Lin Huang nodded at him since it was not actually a secret.

"The banned sales we're given is 3%."

"Wow, this ratio is similar to the Hunter Association, isn't it?!" Xia Yu exclaimed.

"Not exactly. The Hunter Association has an even lower figure. No organization can compete with how close they are to the Union Government." Huang Tianfu did not reveal more.

"Let's end the discussion of trading access here. We'll discuss the detailed conditions when the heretics have set the price. We'll give access within 24 hours as soon as the agreement is done."

"Sure, let's end it here. We'll talk about the detailed conditions tomorrow morning when we're done on our side." Sun Zhou never thought that they would set the first project so soon. In reality, the agreement was basically in place now that they were in discussion. He did not expect Dynasty to be so open before coming here. Not only were they sincere in the collaboration, but they were not perfunctory at all.

"Let's talk about the next project then. About the data access…" Huang Tianfu moved onto the second project directly.

Sun Zhuo stayed three days in Emperor City with the other three heretics. They spent most of the time in Dynasty's meeting room.

In reality, the meeting was mainly run by Huang Tianfu and the other two Grand Dukes. They went into detail about the few projects that could be accomplished in the first round of collaboration. They also raised many questions, even giving Sun Zhuo and the rest some solutions for their reference.

The people from the heretics witnessed the three Grand Dukes' professionalism, especially Huang Tianfu who was totally an all-rounder butler.

Sun Zhuo even had the thought of poaching Huang Tianfu back to the heretics quite a few times.

However, he decided to be wise and give up on the idea. Poaching Huang Tianfu would mean an end to the collaboration with Dynasty. On the other hand, he realized apart from his combat strength, he could not compare with Lin Huang in many aspects. At least, his charm was ahead of Lin Huang's.

Throughout the meeting, although Lin Huang only gave his opinion a few times, he would always strike with core questions every time he spoke. The three Grand Dukes would almost accept whatever he said and they genuinely respected him.

Even Zhou Tong and the other two clearly became quieter after spending three days in the meeting room.

On the last day of the meeting, Zhou Tong became more enthusiastic. He was more engaged in the collaboration than Sun Zhuo was.

As the three-day meeting ended, the first collaboration among Dynasty and the heretics was finally sealed. With the enthusiasm from both sides, the discussion was smooth, and they came up with many projects together.

After they had a celebratory dinner at Dynasty, Sun Zhuo dragged the three of them for steamboat in the middle of the night.

Sitting at the steamboat table, Sun Zhuo finally could not hold it any longer and asked, "Why exactly were you guys so quiet throughout the three days?"

The three of them had their lips sealed.

Cao Yao was the first to speak after a while, "Boss, do you think that we're useless? We can't do anything and we're always causing trouble."

"Err… Not really." Sun Zhuo was stunned and waved his hand later on. "Why do you ask such a question?"

"Did you see how amazing the three Grand Dukes are? They're so competent. They can solve anything. They've taken care of everything even before the Emperor speaks," Cao Ya said, "If there are people like that in the heretics, we would definitely be so much better off than this."

"We can't be envious of some things." Sun Zhuo shook his head while grinning. "Each organization has their own style. The heretics are the heretics because of you guys. If all of you are as serious as Huang Tianfu and the rest, I might pull out of the organization after staying for a month."

"Really?" Cao Ya widened her eyes.

"Of course! That's who you are. You don't have to pretend when you're in the heretics. Nobody will judge you. Didn't you join the heretics because of this back then? This is also the founding motto of the heretics. No matter how the outside world is, no matter how the past is, and no matter how the future will be, as long as you're in the heretics, we're always the realest and most liberated."

Zhou Tong and the other two had their eyes lit up when they heard that proclamation.

"How about you, little girl? Why have you been so quiet?" Sun Zhuo looked at Xia Yu.

"I think Lin Huang has changed so much. He was only a little guy on bronze-level three years ago. Within three years, he's totally transformed like he's a different person. Not only is there a change in his combat strength, but he's also different from who he was before. Moreover, he looks more like a boss than you do, Boss," Xia Yu spoke her mind, "I wonder if it's because I'm not working hard enough. Is that why he's so much farther ahead than me?"

"Don't belittle yourself, Xiao Yu. You've improved a lot throughout the three years. You got to immortal-level when you were 20, and your cultivation speed is considered fast. Fewer than 30 people in this entire world can do that. You're just comparing yourself to the wrong person. Comparing yourself with Lin Huang is simply creating trouble for yourself.

"The things that Lin Huang has gone through these three years might be more than what a person has ever done in his or her whole life. His terrifying talent and potential isn't the only factor of his growth. He's definitely killed many to achieve what he has today. The path that he's taken is so tough that most people can't imagine it. He's the only one who would know how many battles and kills he has experienced, how many times he was involved in life-and-death battles, and how many times he escaped death."

What Zhou Tong said did not only make Xia Yu and Cao Ya fall into deep thoughts, but even Sun Zhou was looking at him in puzzlement.

"Hey, Old Zhou, what's wrong with you?" Sun Zhou could not help but prod. "Let's not talk about you involving yourself in the collaboration today. You're even promoting Lin Huang now. Are you planning to join Dynasty?"

"B*tch, please, I joined the heretics before you did! You've got to be dreaming if you want to get me to pull out of the heretics," Zhou Tong condemned mercilessly.

"Then, why…?"

"I'm just speaking what I think about Lin Huang. In reality, I've been observing him these few days. However, the more I observe him, the more I can't see through him, but now I understand why Huang Tianfu and the rest respect him like that, and I also roughly figured out how Dynasty developed so quickly.

"The terrifying thing isn't his combat strength and ability, or his talent and potential. It's that he has a different way of looking at issues compared to ordinary people. His perspective doesn't seemed to be restricted by this world."

"Now that I think about it, you're right. The few questions that he asked in the meeting were a little strange, but they were pointing at the crux of the matters. And the solutions that he proposed were never heard of." Sun Zhuo thought about it carefully and nodded.

"The reason I was enthusiastic about our collaboration with Dynasty is Lin Huang's performance. I think he might be the pioneer of a new era. Dynasty will go a long way with his leadership. Then, I thought about the heretics' current situation, so I have an interesting idea. Since we can't be a pioneer, why don't we butter up a pioneer and excel with him?"

Xia Yu and Cao Ya roared in laughter at what Zhou Tong said.

However, Sun Zhuo fell into a long silence while frowning. He only lifted his head to look at Zhou Tong after a while. "What if the path Dynasty goes on turns out to be a dead-end?"

Zhou Tong was stunned to hear that. He understood what Sun Zhuo meant. Nobody had done this before, so nobody knew if such a model Dynasty was adopting could last long. It seemed great now, but nobody could foresee what would happen in the future. Meanwhile, the heretics would be at a great loss as soon as something happened the closer they were with Dynasty.

"It's been over 200 years since the heretics have had any changes. I've no idea when we'll have a transformation if we miss this chance. Of course, you make the last call. I'm just giving my perspective and opinion. We'll support you no matter what your decision is in the end."

Sun Zhuo fell into silence for a moment after hearing that. He chuckled out loud all of a sudden. "I've no idea why I was concerned. We've already signed the agreement, but the fear of making the wrong decision came out of nowhere. However, now that I think about it, there's nothing to regret since the decision has been made. Let's just take the bet. Let's see where this sugar daddy Dynasty will bring us!"

Chapter 1182: Bloody's Discovery

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Lin Huang rushed back to the Emperor's Palace as soon as the three-day meeting with the heretics was over.

There was no reason for his hurry other than Bloody coming up with the cultivation methods at noon and telling him that she found out about something through voice transmission.

Lin Huang had been holding the piece of information until he signed the agreement with the heretics. He then returned to the Emperor's Palace immediately.

The lights were shining brightly in the Emperor's Palace. In her red dress, Bloody sat with her legs crossed under Lin Huang's throne. She only got up calmly when she saw Lin Huang entering the Emperor's Palace.

"Bloody, what exactly did you find out?"

"There's no rush. Let me tell you slowly," Bloody said while smiling, "I was studying the Buddhist methods that you gave me throughout these few days. I came up with three sets of simple cultivation methods from up to a hundred Buddhist methods. When I was coming up with the third set of methods this morning, I realized that it's very similar to a set of ancient methods that I came up with earlier.

"I then compared both methods and simplified the cultivation steps. I found out that there are only three steps in these two cultivation systems to get one to virtual god-level — foundation building, accumulation of energy, and formation of the core.

"These are the differences. The first one, there's a different way of building the foundation. Secondly, there are many types of ways for the accumulation of energy whereby each method is different. Some methods to accumulate energy only have two steps while some have five. It causes the categorization of ranks to be completely different. Last would be the formation of the core. In reality, it is natural is to consolidate a solid energy substance just like the Godhead in your body. However, different cultivation systems form different energy substances."

Lin Huang recalled what the stone tablet had said before about the human cultivators in an era cultivating the foundation as the first step. However, they did not continue the topic further and they stopped at the foundation. At that time, he did not think of asking further.

"So, what's the conclusion?" Lin Huang asked immediately.

"The conclusion is that the cultivation system of the gravel world that we're currently in is messed up. The accumulation of energy is placed before the foundation building, making the formation of the core difficult."

In reality, Lin Huang had heard about Bloody's conclusion from the stone tablet before. Bloody proceeded when he was going to explain that he knew about this, "However, there's a benefit out of all this mess. Without building the foundation, it would mean that one has yet to step on the path of cultivation. Your body can cultivate the methods that start with building the foundation which doesn't collide with the current system.

"To put it simply, those who are below imperial-level and haven't consolidated their Life Palace can cultivate methods that build their foundation. They can then perform the accumulation of energy and consolidate Godheads. Naturally, whether one can elevate to Virtual God or not depends on the compatibility of the methods. Also, it depends on one's potential and talent."

"How about people above imperial-level? Is there any solution to this?" Lin Huang asked immediately.

"There is!" Bloody looked at Lin Huang grimly. "You can do that by destroying your Life Palace and building your foundation from scratch!"

Lin Huang was stunned to hear her answer. In reality, there should be people who had considered that in theory, but he figured not many would have the guts to actually try that.

Most of them would fear that not being able to cultivate once their Life Palace was destroyed. What if they had to be stuck on immortal-level forever?!

"Are you sure that's viable?" Lin Huang asked while frowning a little.

"It totally can, theoretically." Bloody nodded although she dared not promise that either.

"How about those demigods who failed to elevate to Virtual God? Can they fix it?" Lin Huang asked again.

"That's much more difficult than imperial-levels. Theoretically, it would work if one destroys the broken Godhead in their body. However, the impact of exploding a Godhead is different from destroying a Life Palace. I'm afraid most people can't handle such an explosion. Even if it was a broken Godhead, it's a high-density energy crystal. A major explosion will definitely take place as soon as it's destroyed. It's much easier to destroy a Life Palace because a Life Palace won't explode. It'll only collapse and disintegrate.

"But it doesn't mean that it's impossible for a demigod to fix that issue. As long as the accumulation is sufficient, theoretically, the demigods can consolidate a complete Godhead with the help of the exploding broken Godhead in their body."

"It would be great if they didn't die from the explosion. How is consolidating a new Godhead possible?" Lin Huang thought Bloody's theory was too optimistic.

"In reality, I've done a simulation. It's possible if a high-level virtual god-level powerhouse steps in," Bloody explained, "It's just that nobody has even tried this before and I haven't found a way to do it safely. The success rate at the moment is less than 3%."

"There's no need to dwell on this since the success rate is so low." Lin Huang shook his head while smiling grimly. "If a high-level virtual god-level powerhouse were to help, what's the probability of stabilizing the explosion from the broken Godhead?"

"If we rule out the nature of a person's body, the success rate is pretty high overall at approximately 83%. The higher the person's soul and body are, the higher the success rate, especially when one has a powerful soul. The reason being when the broken Godhead explodes in one's body, the first thing that will be impacted will be one's soul. Naturally, the 83% success rate I mentioned is the probability after using a soul-type god relic. Without the soul-type god relic, except for people with compelling souls, the survival rate of an ordinary person would basically be 0."

"So, what happens to people who survive the Godhead explosion?" Lin Huang asked again.

"Their combat strength will drop to immortal-level rank-9 directly because Godheads are formed by Life Palaces. As soon as the Godhead is destroyed, the Life Palace will go too," Bloody said like everything made sense. "After some time of rest and when the inner world has stabilized, one can build their foundation again."

Although Bloody made it sound very simple, Lin Huang knew that it was much more troublesome to carry out something like this. He asked again after a moment of silence, "Have you done a simulation of all that?"

"I began the simulation in the afternoon. I've done it approximately more than 5,000 times now. In reality, I'm still doing the simulation in my head at this very moment. I've only divided a part of my consciousness to speak with you now. I'm planning to do the simulation a million times and see if there's any way to stabilize the Godhead explosion."

"How long will it take for you to simulate it for a million times?"

"Judging from my current progress, it'll take around 57 days."

"I'll go into closed-door cultivation for almost two months anyway. Let's do it together." Lin Huang estimated the speed of him refining Godheads. It would take him almost two months for him to refine all of the Godheads. He would be on imperial-level rank-3 when he got out of the closed-door cultivation by then.

Chapter 1183: Circles

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After sending the people from the heretics off, Lin Huang informed Huang Tianfu before going into closed-door cultivation.

This time, he was no longer cultivating Seamless but breaking through his combat strength by refining Godheads.

Together with the two Virtual God rank-9 Godheads that he tossed into his body as well as the 136 complete Godheads and 1,528 broken Godheads, they were enough to boost him by two ranks.

His leveling up to imperial-level was completely different from the rest. He did not have to look for Life Base monsters and killed them to obtain its Life Base. All he had to do was to refine enough Godheads to transform his Life Palace automatically.

In reality, compared to obtaining his Life Base, this was much easier. The only problem was that it was time-consuming.

Fortunately, there was a boost in his Divine Fire since he elevated to imperial-level. The speed of refining Godheads was a few times faster than when he was on immortal-level.

Initially, he would only refine 1% of Virtual God rank-9 Godheads throughout a full day of maximum effort. Now, he could refine over 3% per day which would take him a month to complete refining all of them.

Lin Huang merely peeked at Bloody who was focused on the simulation in the Emperor Palace and glanced away. He also found a space to sit with his legs crossed. Quieting his mind, he began to activate the Divine Fire in his body to refine the Godheads.

The 1,500 or so broken Godheads that he put in his body earlier were refined by the Divine Fire automatically within an hour. Throughout the three days, even though he did not refine them on his own, more than 40 Virtual God rank-1 and rank-2 Godheads were refined by the Divine Fire. Even half of the Virtual God rank-3 Godheads were refined.

As Lin Huang activated the Divine Fire himself, the refining speed skyrocketed six to seven times faster.

Lin Huang looked into his body and could even see 21 Virtual God rank-3 Godheads melting rapidly at a speed that could be seen with the naked eye.

In less than half an hour, half of the Virtual God rank-3 Godheads were melted by Divine Fire fully and turned into clumps of golden gravel.

Some ten hours later, all of the Virtual God rank-4 Godheads were refined.

Over 20 hours had passed, and all of the Virtual God rank-5 Godheads were refined.

Later on, Lin Huang spent two days refining the 13 Virtual God rank-6 Godheads.

He then spent approximately half a month to refine all of the other Godheads apart from the two Virtual God rank-9 Godheads. He soon arrived on the brink of breaking through to imperial-level rank-2.

However, he was not sure if it was a lack of Divine Fire intensity, but the speed of refining the two Virtual God rank-9 Godheads was one fold slower when they were refined together. Fifteen days had passed, but only a quarter of them was refined.

Lin Huang did not rush nonetheless. No matter what, looking at the progress, they would be completely refined completely one and a half months later.

Time passed by. Lin Huang's aura was growing almost every day in the Emperor Palace.

Meanwhile, the collaboration between Dynasty, the Union Government and the heretics were getting on track since half a month had passed.

Since the trading system opened, the members of three organizations soon familiarized themselves with the new trading model.

The transformation of the trading system added more choices. It also caused the members of the three organizations to be more enthusiastic to hunt for resources to purchase the items they desired.

Apart from the trading system, Dynasty's intel department also began working with the Union Government and the heretics. They expanded Dynasty's intel channel by heaps as well as boosted the efficiency of obtaining information.

The heretics gained many benefits from the collaboration.

On the underground organization's side, Misery also carried something out throughout the half a month.

Using Dynasty's pulling out of the underground world as an excuse, Misery began engaging in all aspects of the underground world and came up with a series of new regulations. They seemed like they were going to take charge of the entire underground world.

Everyone in the underground world was discussing it.

Many thought that Misery must have been triggered by Dynasty. However, the top organizations could tell that Misery was using it as an excuse and was taking the opportunity to integrate the entire underground world.

Although Misery had many fans, they had many haters too.

The promotion of Misery's new regulation throughout the half a month was considered a failure, and they even received many objections.

As Lin Huang was refining the last two Godheads with all of his might, it was getting closer to New Year's Eve.

Usually, all the organizations would slow their activities down when it was close to New Year's Eve because most people would spend time with their families.

However, since Dynasty had just collaborated with the heretics and the Union Government this year, both neutral organization members were extraordinarily active.

On the union organization's side, the Union Government had begun their exploration in Dynasty's trial zones.

Before Lin Huang went into closed-door cultivation, he had given Huang Tianfu the authorization, so his closed-door cultivation did not affect the Union Government going into the trial zones.

Apart from that, the underground boss, Misery, had preliminary success in promoting the new regulations.

They even killed two organization members who were playing tricks secretly to warn the people for the sake of promoting the new regulations.

The few top underground organizations including the Purple Crow and Saint dared not object any longer.

The consecutive activities in the union organizations, the neutral organizations, and the underground organizations made the last month before New Year's Eve even more crowded than before.

Naturally, not all the organizations were merely watching.

As the top spy organization in the entire world, the Mystic Butterfly was the first to notice something going on with the heretics.

They went prying around after realizing that the people from the heretics became more hardworking. They were familiar with the heretics, so they knew about their casual and lazy way of handling things. Finally, they found out about the truth.

They were surprised to find out that the heretics were collaborating with Dynasty and working with the Union Government indirectly. They had even obtained internal trading access to the Union Government.

The Mystic Butterfly did not blow things up after learning that. Instead, they visited Dynasty secretly.

Although they did not get to meet Lin Huang during the visit, the discussion was smooth with Dynasty's three Grand Dukes. They only spent two days coming up with the agreement. They became Dynasty's third collaboration partners after the agreement was signed.

The Mystic Butterfly obtained the trading access they desired while Dynasty obtained access to the Mystic Butterfly's data.

After the Mystic Butterfly joined Dynasty, the Union Government also got the Hunter Association within less than three days. However, the Union Government reserved the leading position for the Hunter Association coming in instead of Dynasty.

Dynasty and the Union Government were the core of the collaboration circle. It grew stronger after involving a few organizations within less than two months.

Even Huang Tianfu and the rest did not expect that the collaboration method Lin Huang came up with could attract so many people to join them within such a short period of time.

They had no idea that it was called a circle on Earth. However, the circles on Earth were mostly created by business moguls and not the entire organization joined them but individuals.
