Monster Paradise

800 years ago, 3000 dimensional gates opened across the entire world. In that moment, it was as if 3000 different colored eyes opened across the world as hordes of monsters swarmed out of these gates like tears.

Chapter 1184: Lin Huang Comes Out of Closed-door Cultivation

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The winter in Emperor City was not considered cold. It would drop below zero degrees Celsius occasionally and sometimes it would snow.

However, it was mid-February at the moment. It was close to the New Year, and half of the winter had passed. The temperature was slowly turning warmer.

As it was close to the New Year, the entire Emperor City seemed rather prosperous.

"It'll be New Year's Eve the day after tomorrow. When will Brother come out of his closed-door cultivation?"

Lin Xin had been feeling down the past few days because in two days, it would be New Year's Eve, but Lin Huang was still in closed-door cultivation.

"Master Tianfu said that the Emperor will be in closed-door cultivation for two months, so he should be out within these two days," comforted Xiao Mo who was sitting next to her. He had officially joined Dynasty. Naturally, he was addressing Lin Huang and Huang Tianfu differently now. However, the task Huang Tianfu had assigned him was very simple. It was the same as before, which was to protect Lin Xin at all times.

"I hope that he can get out from his closed-door cultivation before the year ends so that I can say goodbye to him," Chan Dou who was aside could not help but speak up.

"Boss Chan, are you really going back to the Chan Clan?" Lin Xin asked immediately.

"It's New Year's Eve after all. I must be with my family no matter what. Moreover, I can't be hiding the truth that I'm alive from them forever," Chan Dou replied while smiling.

"But your memory…" Xiao Mo was a little concerned.

"Although my memory has yet to recover, my combat strength had elevated by three ranks within half a year in Dynasty. I'm on imperial-level white gold-rank now, and I can fight a demigod by force if I ever encounter one. As long as those old monsters hiding in the organizations don't show up, I should be able to protect myself.

"Even though I don't remember how my parents look like, this is a problem that I must face at the end of the day as long as my memory doesn't fully recover. There's no need to keep dragging it out. I'd rather face it now and solve it as soon as I can. Also, I thought going back to the Chan Clan might be helpful to recover my memory as I'd be in an environment that I was once familiar with," Chan Bai explained what he was thinking about honestly.

"So, will you come back to Dynasty, Boss Chan?" Lin Xin asked again.

"I will visit all of you when I have the time," Chan Dou said with a gentle smile. In reality, he had no idea when he would come back after he left this time.

As the few of them were chatting, the doors to the Emperor's Palace opened all of a sudden. Two silhouettes walked out with Lin Huang being one of them leading the way.

He wore a black trench coat while Bloody in her red trench coat was not far away behind on his left.

Lin Huang walked straight to Dynasty's office as soon as he got out of the Emperor's Palace. With his Divine Telekinesis, he sensed that Huang Tianfu and Huang Wunan were around.

Everyone gaped at Lin Huang as soon as he stepped into the office building.

"Master Emperor!"

Lin Huang nodded lightly at them. "Proceed with your own stuff. Ignore me," he said and walked straight into the elevator with Bloody.

As soon as the elevator doors closed, everyone in the lobby began discussing excitedly among themselves.

"Who is that girl? She's so pretty!"

"Could she be the Master Emperor's girlfriend?"

"That might be possible. Didn't you see they were wearing couple trench coats? The colors were just different. One is black while the other is red."

Although the elevator was going up rapidly, Lin Huang, who was currently on imperial-level rank-3 and Bloody who was on Virtual God rank-2, heard the gossip loud and clear.

Lin Huang could not help but peek at what Bloody was wearing next to him. Her style indeed looked similar to his. Perhaps, she had copied it when she saw him. It was no wonder people misunderstood.

Nevertheless, he did not say anything about that.

His combat strength had broken through to imperial-level rank-3 during the closed-door cultivation this time.

Initially, he thought the combat strength of his summoning beasts would not elevate since he was on imperial-level. However, just when he elevated to imperial-level rank-2, something happened to Bloody. Her combat strength broke through imperial-level and arrived on Virtual God rank-1.

Lin Huang then checked through all of the other cards to find that all of the quadruple mutated mythical-level cards had elevated to virtual god-level. Meanwhile, Bai who was on pseudo-mythical-level had elevated too.

As he advanced to imperial-level rank-3, there was a transformation in the combat strength of his Monster Cards again. They reached Virtual God rank-2.

Overall, there was an immense boost in Lin Huang's overall ability.

Lin Huang only felt that it was a pity that the ten thousand pseudo-mythical-level bugs, the pseudo-mythical-level Soul-assimilating Beast, and the two White-haired Swordfiends that he had yet to elevate did not go on to virtual god-level automatically.

In the monster world, pseudo-mythical-level was the lowest grade to elevate to Virtual God. However, not all pseudo-mythical-level monsters could get to virtual god-level successfully.

However, it was clear that the ten thousand pseudo-mythical-level cards that failed to be elevated did not lack potential. It was a bigger possibility was that it was the system default, assuming that all pseudo-mythical-level monsters would not elevate automatically.

As Lin Huang had his head occupied about the Bug Tribe army, the elevator arrived at the highest floor of the building.

Naturally, Huang Tianfu, who always had his Territory skill activated, sensed Lin Huang's arrival immediately.

"Master Emperor, you're out!"

Lin Huang nodded at Huang Tianfu. "Has Tufu gotten back to Division 3? Or is he still in Emperor City?"

"He has returned to Division 3. Is there anything that you need from him, Master Emperor?"

"There's something that I need to tell you guys. I'll tell him in private later since he's not here. Get Wunan here," Lin Huang ordered.

Huang Tianfu did not ask what exactly was happening. He told Huang Wunan to come through voice transmission immediately.

Knowing that Lin Huang was looking for him, Huang Wunan put what he was doing down and arrived in Huang Tianfu's office in a flash.

Lin Huang signaled to Bloody who turned around and closed the office door and performed a Witchcraft Rune to build a shield that covered the entire office.

Huang Tianfu only asked when the shield was completed, "Master Emperor, what do you need to tell us that's so serious?"

"I've found a way to elevate demigod-levels to virtual god-level." Lin Huang suddenly noticed something was off as soon as he said that. He corrected himself immediately. "To be exact, it was a method that Bloody simulated."

"Really?!" Huang Tianfu and Huang Wunan exclaimed in unison.

"I've done more than a million simulations and found the right way for the elevation. The success rate is 97.1%. As long as one's soul and body have no major flaws, the success rate is almost 100%!" Bloody announced her simulation result calmly.

Chapter 1185: Chan Dou Bids Farewell

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Huang Tianfu and Huang Wunan agreed to be the first batch of experiments upon hearing Lin Huang talking about elevating to virtual god-level.

The 97% success rate aside, even if the success rate was only 67%, the duo might have agreed to that too. One must know that elevating to virtual god-level one day was what all the demigods in the world were hoping for. Naturally, that included Huang Tianfu and Huang Wunan.

If someone else were to tell them that they had a way to elevate demigod to Virtual God, Huang Tianfu and Huang Wunan might scoff at the person, thinking that it was a lie. However, since it was Lin Huang who said that, the impossible became possible. The duo did not hesitate at all and chose to believe him.

After Lin Huang left, Huang Tianfu contacted Huang Tufu immediately. However, he did not tell him what was it about on the Emperor's Heart Ring. He just told Huang Tufu to get back to Emperor City.

As Lin Huang walked out of the office, the first thing he did was to get to the compound that Lin Xin was staying in.

It was two days before New Year's Eve. That girl must have been complaining about him every day.

He heard Lin Xin, Xiao Mo, and Chan Dou's chatter as soon as he walked into the courtyard.

Scanning the area with his Divine Telekinises, he found out the trio's combat strength crystal clear.

Lin Xin had elevated to immortal-level and was already on immortal-level rank-6 now. Clearly, she had been suppressing her speed of elevating.

Xiao Mo had already achieved imperial-level yellow gold-rank since he was healed. Clearly, he had not slacked off.

Among the three of them, Chan Dou was the one who had the highest combat strength. He was already on imperial-level white gold-rank now and was only one step away from imperial-level purple gold-rank. Compared to a holy fire-level, an imperial-level powerhouse could advance three ranks within half a year. It was even a few times faster than Xiao Mo whose body had been transformed by the Crow God before.

Lin Huang could not help but exclaim secretly, 'He deserves to be one of the Five Princes, the highest powerhouse among the supreme geniuses!" He knew very well that if he had no conduit such as Xiao Hei, he could never compare to Chan Dou no matter whether it was talent or potential.

Talking about the real talent and potential, the Five Princes, including Chan Dou and Huang Wuji, suppressed the era in this gravel world.

Lin Huang appeared before the trio in a flash after some observation. "What are you guys talking about? It sounds fun."

The three of them were stunned to see him appear out of nowhere.

"Brother, you've finally gotten out! I would have to see you next year if you didn't get out in time," Lin Xin teased him while smiling.

"You silly girl, do you think I don't know when New Year's Eve is?" Lin Huang shook his head while saying with a smile, "Of course, I went into closed-door cultivation after careful calculation."

"Master Emperor." Xiao Mo cupped his hands. He was now a Dynasty member. Naturally, he could not be as casual as he had been before when speaking to Lin Huang.

"We're family. There's no need to be so serious. I got you to join Dynasty so that it's easier for you to obtain cultivation resources. I didn't mean for you to learn all these."

"I must obey the basic rules." Xiao Mo remained respectful.

Seeing that Chan Dou did not speak, Lin Xin could not help it and informed Lin Huang, "Brother, Boss Chan is leaving."

Lin Huang spun around to look at Chan Dou with a delighted expression. "Boss Chan, so you've made up your mind!"

"I have," Chan Dou responded while nodding, "I've been waiting for you to get out of your closed-door cultivation so that I can say goodbye. Thanks for taking care of me for half a year!"

"Don't worry about it, Boss Chan. You took care of me back when we were at the Genius Union, so I should be the one thanking you."

"Although I don't remember anything about the Genius Union, it feels good to know that I used to be your boss," Chan Dou said while smiling.

After all, Lin Huang was the mighty Emperor of Dynasty now. Moreover, he was collaborating with a few of the top organizations including the Union Government. Dynasty was one of the biggest influential organizations in the whole gravel world now, hence it made sense for Chan Dou to feel proud about being such a person's boss in the past.

Lin Huang could not help but chuckle out loud after hearing what Chan Dou said.

"You were glorious when you were the chief of the Heaven Alliance. You were on par with me. You'll remember it when your memory recovers."

"I also hope to recover my memory soon, but I can't force such a thing to happen. I'll just go with the flow." Chan Dou smiled lightly. "Perhaps, I might recall something when I return home in the environment that I was familiar with."

"It'll be New Year's Eve in a few days. I shall leave today, so I'll be able to familiarize myself since I'm going back a few days ahead. I can prevent myself from forgetting my family members and their names during the New Year."

"The Chan Clan…" Lin Huang hesitated and said it anyway, "The Chan Clan was in chaos during the six months since you went missing in May last year. Although your father is still the master of the clan, he has been challenged. The Chan Clan has been divided into three sects, and all of them are fighting to be the master of the clan. They are also fostering a supreme genius each. You must be careful in everything you do when you return. Don't be betrayed by your own family."

Chan Dou narrowed his eyes after hearing that. He only nodded at Lin Huang after a moment of silence. "Thanks for reminding me."

"But it's good for you to go back now. It's New Year's Eve. Everyone will be busy. Nobody has the time and strength to be fighting. Moreover, since you're alive, it'll be the best piece of news of the year for your father." Lin Huang patted Chan Dou's arm.

"You can consider joining Dynasty if you're eager to join an organization after you're done handling your matters at home. I've reserved a good position for you. Whether I'm in this gravel world or not, Dynasty's doors will forever be opened for you."

"I'll think about that," Chan Dou nodded in all seriousness. He was not perfunctory at all when he said that. He was really putting Dynasty the first in his list.

As Chan Dou took out a dimensional portal from his Emperor's Heart Ring, Lin Huang and the other two watched him disappeared after stepping in. (Lin Huang found Chan Dou's Emperor's Heart Ring among the loot he gotten after fighting God Bless. He then returned it to him.)

"Brother! Why didn't you get him to stay?" Lin Xin asked while watching Chan Dou leave. "The Chan Clan is in chaos now, but he has yet to recover his memories."

"He has to face what's happening at home sooner or later. His memory didn't recover the slightest bit throughout the past half a year. He can't keep dragging it out if he doesn't recover in ten or 20 years. Moreover, for the Chan Clan, the earlier they solve the internal conflict, the better. It'll be too late to remedy it if this goes on."

"What if the people in the Chan Clan attack him for the position of master?" Xiao Mo asked all of a sudden. He was trained by the Purple Crow, so he had seen and heard about many of such filthy doings.

Lin Huang could not help but snicker after hearing what Xiao Mo said. "Don't underestimate Chan Dou. He can fight a demigod with his current ability. As long as he doesn't encounter any virtual god-level powerhouses the organizations are hiding, he's basically conquered the entire gravel world. It would be seeking death if someone stupid in the Chan Clan decides to attack him.

"You guys have only seen his gentle and quiet side throughout the half a year. That's why you're afraid that he might be bullied. Do you really think a man who was the boss of the Heaven Alliance could be bullied by just anyone?!"

Chapter 1186: I'll Tear All of The Floors, Walls, and Ceiling Down!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

When Chan Dou left, Lin Huang began his preparation to leave the gravel world.

His combat strength had elevated to imperial-level rank-3. He would need more and more Godheads in the future to continue elevating his combat strength.

It might be hard for him to break through within a short period of time if he continued staying in the gravel world.

Therefore, he had finally came up with an official itinerary to the great world.

However, since it would be New Year's Eve a few days later, Lin Huang allowed himself to rest for a few days. He was planning to finish everything he had yet to handle in the gravel world after the new year and with that, he would be able to depart to the great world without any worry.

New Year's Eve came rather late this year — on 21st February. In reality, it was almost early spring in Emperor City. The temperature had turned a little warm, being only 13 or 14 degree celsius at its warmest point during the day. Most people just stopped wearing jackets.

Meanwhile, the weather in Emperor City was rather nice. The weather was a cloudless sunny sky as far as thousands of miles.

The first thing Lin Huang did after sending Chan Dou off was to step into the dimensional portal to head over to Peaceful Ocean.

To avoid being chased, Mr. Fu's ship had been wandering around Peaceful Ocean. He hardly stayed in one place for a long time. However, now that his combat strength had recovered and even elevated to Virtual God rank-9, he no longer had to hide himself. With that, there was no need for him to wander around.

Lin Huang appeared on Mr. Fu's ship directly as soon as he stepped out of the dimensional portal.

"My dear disciple, there's been an elevation in your combat strength again since we last met a few months back!" Mr. Fu's voice was heard without warning the moment Lin Huang appeared. As his voice echoed, Mr. Fu's body slowly revealed itself within ten meters of Lin Huang.

"It's just an elevation within imperial-level. Compared to you, master whose rank has elevated to Virtual God rank-9, mine is nothing." Lin Huang smiled as he walked toward Mr. Fu.

It was then that Mr. Fu took out two chairs and a tea table from storage. "Take a seat."

He took a seat after speaking to Lin Huang and began making tea as Lin Huang sat on the other chair, saying nothing as he watched Mr. Fu patiently prepare the tea.

Once Mr. Fu was done sealing the pot with the prepared tea, he brought it over along with tea cups. "I heard Dynasty has been doing great these past few months."

Lin Huang took the tea cups and nodded as he smiled. "It's alright. I merely set things in motion. Tianfu and the rest have been handling everything ever since."

"The model that you came up with was pretty interesting. There must be many organizations that are willing to join as long as you promote it. The problem is it's pretty risky. After all, Dynasty isn't the Union Government that oppresses everyone without abandon. As time goes by, as more and more organizations join, there would be more disputes of interest. When that happens, people would begin challenging Dynasty's leader."

"That scenario has crossed my mind from the very beginning. That's why I've come up with two plans." Lin Huang nodded lightly. "I'll drag Misery in after the new year. By then, Misery would be leading the entire underground organization that would be supporting Dynasty. That's my first plan."

"Misery?!" Mr. Fu looked at Lin Huang with his eyes widened.

"Misery is now under me. Just like Dynasty, I've added them into the Royal's affiliate organization list. There's no need to worry about them betraying me," Lin Huang smiled as he explained.

Mr. Fu was stunned for a moment before asking, "So you were the mastermind behind Misery's earlier release of new regulations integrating the enture underground organization?"

"Yes." Lin Huang nodded. "I made that decision after discussing with Bloody and Grimace."

"After all, I neither have enough time and effort to turn all the underground organizations neutral like I did to Dynasty, nor can I stop everyone in the whole world from being evil. Therefore, the decision Bloody, Grimace and I came up with was that we might as well support one powerful organization among the underground organizations, and get them to lead the development of the underground organizations. The regulations enforced at the moment can't completely stop them from crimes, but it can restrict some of their evil doings. However, it will improve slowly and subtly transform the entire underground organization."

Mr. Fu nodded after listening to that, "What you have planned is great but it's going to be tough. I admit that despite most people having a good nature, they could possibly commit a crime on impulse or when they're forced into a corner. However, there are people who are born evil. It's in their bones, and there are no regulations or restrictions that will change them."

"I know that. We'll kill those who are born evil if we ever encounter any. I won't waste my effort trying to turn someone good," Lin Huang said as he smiled.

Mr. Fu nodded after seeing Lin Huang come to such a realization and moved on from that topic.

"You said you came up with two plans. Misery was the first one… so what's the second one?"

Hearing that, Lin Huang simply shot Mr. Fu a smile while remaining silent.

Mr. Fu was initially puzzled but later reacted by pointing at himself. "Are you talking about me?"

"Master, your ability has recovered and it's improving. I hope that you can make a comeback and guard Dynasty for me when I'm away from this gravel world!" Lin Huang nodded along with his request.

"Are you going to the great world?" Mr. Fu frowned slightly when he heard that.

"Yes. My cultivation system is different from regular ones. It's very hard for me to elevate here in the gravel world. Moreover, the disaster is coming really soon, and I don't think it's wise to be a sitting duck. I'm thinking of going to the great world to look for the crux so we can eradicate this problem of our world being attacked."

"But your current combat strength…" Mr. Fu was still concerned of Lin Huang's combat strength.

"Master, my ability is more than enough to protect myself," Lin Huang's body began rapidly disintegrating into pieces the moment he finished speaking. The entire god-level ship and the Peaceful Ocean below the ship disintegrated along with him as well.

Mr. Fu was stunned as he saw the events unfolding before his eyes, not believing even for a moment that he could be caught in an illusion without even realizing it.

"What…"

"Master, that was just a little demonstration I performed for you. Sorry if I've offended you," Lin Huang put the tea cup down while smiling. He was still sitting still as if the events that happened earlier did not happen.

Mr. Fu had just noticed a monster that looked like a tiger with long trunk that appeared next to Lin Huang without him even noticing. Shock flashed through his eyes as he could clearly sense the Virtual God rank-8 combat strength of the monster.

Noticing Mr. Fu's stare, Lin Huang introduced it with a smile, "This is Nightmare Tapir, he was the one who created the dreamland earlier."

"Such a bizarre illusion ability!" Mr. Fu could not help but exclaim.

"I currently have three imperial monsters that have similar ability to him," Lin Huang added.

"No wonder you managed to oppress Misery. I should've thought of this." Although Mr. Fu said that, he had no idea exactly how powerful the most compelling Misery member was. All that he knew was that Misery had more Virtual Gods than any of the other top organizations.

"So when do you plan to leave?" Mr. Fu asked again after snapping back from his shock.

"I'll leave after New Year when I'm done sorting out the follow-up and some other stuff on my plate," In reality, Lin Huang was planning to leave after he broke through to imperial-level. However, he countered many things throughout these few months which he had to postpone his plan until now.

"And when do you plan to come back?"

"I'll try my best to come back within a year. Although the Union Government foresees that the disaster will take three years to hit, their estimation might not be accurate. Moreover, more than half a year had passed since the three-year speculation. We don't have much time left." In reality, Lin Huang knew that the one-year period that he gave himself was rather tight.

"Sure, I'll guard Dynasty for you for a year. But I'm telling you beforehand, this old thing can't bear much torture. I'll leave when one year is up. You better come back alive within a year or I'll trade everything within Dynasty's treasury into food if you're late for even a day. I'll remove all of the doors if you're two days late. I'll tear all of the floors, walls and ceilings if you're late for three days!"

Lin Huang was unsure whether to laugh or cry hearing that…

Chapter 1187: Mr. Fu Makes A Comeback

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"Master, apart from guarding Dynasty, there's another reason why I'm asking you to make a comeback this time."

Lin Huang only spoke about this other thing after breaching the subject of guarding Dynasty with Mr. Fu. "Bloody found a way to elevate from the demigod-level to the virtual god-level."

"Elevating from a demigod to a Virtual God?!" Mr. Fu got excited when he heard this. Nobody has ever solved that problem since the old days. "Is there really a way?"

"Yes. Bloody had done up to a million simulations after coming up with the theory. The success rate even exceeded 97%." Lin Huang nodded.

"What exactly is it? Can you tell me?" Mr. Fu was a little curious.

"Put simply, it's done by causing the broken Godheads within one's body to explode and consolidate a new Godhead with the intense energy from the explosion," Lin Huang explained it as simply as he could. In reality, he had no idea how it would work because Bloody was the only one who knew.

"Can a person still live when their Godhead explodes? You said the success rate exceeds 97%, but I think it's more like the death rate exceeds 97%," Mr. Fu glared at Lin Huang doubtfully. He thought the solution made no sense. "Stop fooling around, tell me the solution!"

"I'm being serious! I'm not fooling around with you. I'm not exactly sure what the exact steps are but Bloody will explain to you by then." Lin Huang looked helpless. "But this process would require a high-level Virtual God that's at least at Virtual God rank-7 to take control."

Mr. Fu remained doubtful and was in disbelief. However, after giving it some thought, he asked Lin Huang anyway, "So you're asking me to help the demigods in Dynasty to elevate to the virtual god-level?"

"In reality, I was only thinking of getting Huang Tianfu and the other two to elevate to the virtual god-level. I'll get them to use a disguise god relic to conceal their combat strength so the news won't go out and attract trouble from other organizations."

"However, Bloody suggested elevating all the Demigods in Dynasty and spread the news of it later as long as the exact method of achieving this feat was not revealed. After all, even if Huang Tianfu and the other two managed to hide this, they would only be able to hide it for a while. It would be far worse if someone was to find out about it by then. Moreover, we can take in the request of other demigods request after announcing this news and charge them for the service. We believe there are many demigods would be willing to pay to elevate to the virtual god-level."

"You little rascal, always thinking of tricks like these." Mr. Fu laughed as he criticized Lin Huang. "But I love this idea of yours! All the senior demigods are filthy rich, and we've finally found the opportunity to take their money…"

Mr. Fu thought he was a little disgusting for saying that and changed his expression to one far more serious.

"Since the disaster is coming, having more Virtual Gods is a good thing to the entire gravel world. I'll be more than happy to help them elevate to the virtual god-level!"

"Hehe…" Lin Huang was speechless. Mr. Fu was showing more and more of his true colors before Lin Huang.

After their discussion, Mr. Fu decided to pack up his ship to return to Emperor City with Lin Huang.

Huang Tufu had just returned too as soon as they stepped into the dimensional portal.

"Master Emperor!" Huang Tufu went to Lin Huang immediately.

"Have you just returned, Tufu?" Lin Huang did not expect such a coincidence.

"Yeah, I've just taken a few steps out of the dimensional portal and saw you stepping out with this young brother," Huang Tufu smirked while saying.

"Young brother…" Mr. Fu was a little speechless. It had been a thousand years since someone called him that.

Lin Huang who was standing next to Mr. Fu almost laughed out loud but he explained immediately, "He's my master, Mr. Fu. Don't call him nonsensical things like that."

"Mr. Fu?! Huang Tufu was stunned to hear. He could not help but mumble to himself after a moment of observation, "Isn't Mr. Fu a short, old man according to the rumors?"

"A… Short… old man…" Mr. Fu squinted as he heard what Huang Tufu mumbled later on.

Realizing that he had said something wrong, Huang Tufu owned up to his mistake and apologized, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend an old man like you…"

"Old man…" Mr. Fu's expression when he was looking at Huang Tufu was getting increasingly impatient.

Lin Huang grabbed Mr. Fu's shoulder immediately. "Tufu, isn't Tianfu looking for you? Why don't you go look for him, now."

He signaled Huang Tufu to ask him to leave immediately.

Realizing that he said something wrong again, Huang Tufu left right after he cupping his hands before them in respect.

"I'll remember you, muscular brat!" Mr. Fu mumbled softly while looking at Huang Tufu leave.

"Don't be angry. Tufu always speaks before he thinks. He didn't mean it," Lin Huang comforted.

"I'll bring you to Tianfu and Wunan now." Lin Huang said and brought Mr. Fu into Dynasty's office building.

Everyone had their eyes on both of them as soon as they entered the lobby, starting their gossip once again the moment they entered the elevator.

As they got to the highest floor via the elevator, Lin Huang brought Mr. Fu to Huang Tianfu's office.

Huang Wunan and Huang Tufu were there too.

Seeing that Mr. Fu was staring at him, Huang Tufu looked down and away immediately.

Huang Tianfu and Huang Wunan stood and spoke. "Master Emperor, Mr. Fu."

Clearly, both of them learned about Mr. Fu's identity from Huang Tufu.

"It's the pleasure of those of us in Dynasty's to have you, Mr. Fu here…"

Huang Tianfu took out a tea set from his storage space after a short chat of courtesy.

Even Lin Huang was surprised. He had no idea how Huang Tianfu found out that Mr. Fu loved tea art.

Mr. Fu only spoke once he saw Huang Tianfu bringing out the tea leaves, "This is pretty good."

"These are the tea leaves from an ancient tree. I've got no idea of its background but it was Master Emperor who brought them back earlier," Huang Tianfu explained.

"I brought them back?" Lin Huang was stunned to hear this. Then, he recalled a moment later that Zhi Ji from Misery was the one who gave it to him two months ago.

Although they had no idea of the origin and type of the tea leaves, Mr. Fu started the conversation and began speaking about the art of tea with Huang Tianfu. Huang Wunan who was standing aside would chime in occasionally as well.

Huang Tufu was the only awkward one who sat exactly where he was, having no idea what he could say to add to the conversation.

The topic finally changed when Huang Tianfu distributed the tea. "Lin Huang told me that he has a way to elevate demigods to Virtual God, do you guys believe him?"

"What?" Huang Tufu looked lost. He told Huang Tianfu and Huang Wunan about bumping into Mr. Fu as soon as he flew here. He did not have the time to ask why Huang Tianfu brought him back to the headquarters in such a rush.

"We didn't have the time to tell him yet," Huang Tianfu explained, feeling a little embarrassed.

Huang Wunan who was next to him gave Huang Tufu a simple explanation through a voice transmission immediately.

Huang Tufu's emotion stirred after he heard it. He looked at Lin Huang. "Master Emperor, can it really be done?"

"This is one of the main reasons why I brought my master here. To get him to help you guys elevate to the virtual god-level." Lin Huang nodded.

"That's awesome! I've dreamed of breaking through to the virtual god-level every single day!" Huang Tufu was so happy that he was almost jumping with joy.

'He believes it so easily…' In reality, Mr. Fu who was standing at one side heard the voice transmission Huang Wunan sent to Huang Tufu. He merely passed the news to him and Huang Tufu believed it just like that without a single doubt.

He asked Huang Tianfu and the rest if they believed what Lin Huang said to test how much trust they had on Lin Huang. However, it seemed like Huang Tufu's belief in Lin Huang was without hesitation.

He could not help but peep at Lin Huang. Initially, he thought he would help to teach the three of them a lesson if they lacked confidence in Lin Huang's management. However, it seemed like Lin Huang was not just a respectable Emperor, but had even won over the heart of Dynasty. It was so much better than what Mr. Fu expected.

Chapter 1188: Mr. Fu's Thoughts

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After meeting the three Grand Dukes, Lin Huang brought Mr. Fu to the residential area and got him to pick his own compound.

The luxurious residential area in Dynasty's headquarters had different courtyard styles for each compound. Lin Xin got to choose her own courtyard as well.

Mr. Fu scanned through all the courtyards with Divine Telekinesis.

Lin Huang smiled seeing that as he was clearly looking for Lin Xin.

A moment later, Mr. Fu stopped walking when he arrived at the compound to the right of the one Lin Xin chose. "This courtyard seems pretty good, I'll pick this one."

Naturally, Lin Huang knew why Mr. Fu picked that compound but said nothing about it.

"Xin Er happens to be staying next to me. I can visit her whenever I have time," Mr. Fu said while smiling.

"Then let's drop by Xin Er's place. I'll get someone to clean your house," Lin Huang replied and sent a message to Huang Tianfu. He then brought Mr. Fu to Lin Xin's courtyard.

Mr. Fu nodded while smiling. "That's great, it's been a while since I last saw Xin Er."

Lin Xin was practising with her sword in the courtyard as the duo walked in.

This girl could elevate her combat strength by merely eating Life Crystals. However, she knew what her weakness was. Her combat strength elevated too fast so the cultivation of her combat skills along with actual battle experience was lacking. To remedy this, she would spend some time practising with the sword every day.

She was now only on immortal-level rank-6 but she had mastered no less than 20 sword skills. She was only on level-1 Sword Dao which was Nuance at the moment.

Although she had surpassed many of the same age, she was very much lacking if compared to top geniuses like Lin Huang.

Seeing Lin Xin so focused in practising with her sword, Lin Huang and Mr. Fu stopped walking at the same moment. They did not interrupt her as they waited for her to finish practising this set of her sword skills.

Approximately four to five minutes later, Lin Xin was done with her first round of practise. It was the Soul Butterfly, something Lin Huang taught her.

It was only then that she noticed Lin Huang and Mr. Fu's presence. She put away her sword and sprinted toward them.

"Brother!" She also noticed that the person standing next to Lin Huang looked a little familiar as she arrived before her brother. "You're… Grandpa Fu?"

Mr. Fu once spent New Year's Eve at Lin Huang's house looking like this, and Lin Xin still remembered how he looked like.

"You still remember Grandpa Fu, little girl." Mr. Fu was happy that Lin Xin recognized him.

"But why did Grandpa Fu disguise this way again?" What Lin Xin said subsequently upset Mr. Fu.

"Xin Er, this is how master really looks like. He was injured earlier which caused his body to age. Now that he recovered, his looks returned as well," Lin Huang explained immediately.

"It's normal to look young when he's recovered but how come he's even taller now?" Lin Xin asked honestly.

"Well…" Lin Huang had no idea how he was going to answer that question.

Mr. Fu who was standing aside decided to explain himself, "The injury that I suffered earlier contained a curse that caused my flesh to shrink. Bones are in my flesh so they were cursed as well. Therefore, my height and body had been shrinking each year throughout the 800 years. It's just that the changes can't be seen by the naked eye."

Lin Huang recalled the time when he saw Mr. Fu for the first time three years ago when he heard what Mr. Fu said. Indeed, Mr. Fu was slightly taller three years ago compared to when he last saw him before his recovery. However, the change was insignificant and was almost invisible to the naked eye. He even thought it was an illusion.

Mr. Fu seemed to no longer want to dwell on this issue so he shifted the subject to Lin Huang after explaining.

"Little girl, your combat strength elevation is pretty fast. You're catching up with your brother."

"What's the use of elevating so fast? My brother could fight 10,000 of me when he was on immortal-level rank-6," It was Lin Xin's turn to feel depressed. She knew her weaknesses very well and was rather upset to hear such a compliment.

"You're exaggerating," Lin Huang patted Lin Xin's head while smiling, "Sword skill are merely something quite minor for you. As soon as you train well in your main firearm, your ability will reach the supreme genius-level as well."

"Really?" Lin Xin asked with eyes wide open as she heard him say that that.

"Of course I'm serious. Your talent in firearms is no less impressive than the few supreme geniuses that I've met in the past." Lin Huang nodded while smiling. He was not lying to Lin Xin about this. Lin Xin's talent in firearms was truly no less inferior than that of a supreme genius. However, she would have to work harder on her cultivation.

One must know that most supreme geniuses spend almost all their time in cultivation apart from sleeping and eating. It would be normal even if they were to cultivate for more than 15 hours a day. It was not that Lin Xin was slacking. She spent more than eight hours in cultivation almost every day and at times, she would even spend more than ten hours. Compared to ordinary people, she was working extremely hard.

The reason why Lin Huang held his tongue from telling Lin Xin about her difference compared to other supreme geniuses was because he did not want her to turn into a lunatic when it came to cultivation.

After chatting for a while, Lin Huang left with Mr. Fu since the compound that he chose was now clean. Meanwhile, Lin Xin continued to practice with her sword.

Mr. Fu had been quiet ever since he stepped into the compound.

"Master, we can get you another one if you don't like this. Let's take a look at the compound to Lin Xin's left."

Mr. Fu smiled and shook his head as he heard that. "I'm just thinking if I should tell you this."

"Master, there's no secret between us. Just tell me what you have in mind."

"It's about the little girl Lin Xin," Mr. Fu turned his head to look at Lin Huang.

Lin Huang smiled while nodding. "What about her?"

"Have you ever thought of getting her to cultivate the Saber or Spear Dao instead?" Mr. Fu raised an odd question.

"I've never thought of that. She was the one who picked the Sword Dao back then. I thought I'd let her do whatever she wanted so I didn't pay much attention to that," Lin Huang was unsure why Mr. Fu asked such a question.

"I think her talent in the Sword Dao seems to be… quite mediocre. So I'm thinking whether it would be better for her to change it to the Saber Dao or something else. After all, she would have to try all sorts of weapons to find one that suits her most." Mr. Fu was secretly observing Lin Huang's reaction.

Lin Huang was still a little puzzled from hearing the question earlier. However, he realized what Mr. Fu meant now that he heard this and could not help from smirking. "Master, I don't know much about other weapons apart from the Sword Dao. I'm afraid I can't teach her if Xin Er really wants to learn some other weapons."

He managed to read between the lines and gleaned that Mr. Fu wanted to teach Lin Xin the Saber Dao. Perhaps he saw some potential in Lin Xin, causing him to make such a rash decision out of nowhere.

After all, he had been cultivating the Sword Dao. He did not accept Mr. Fu's Saber Dao inheritance.

"Don't you have me if you can't teach her? I'm good in every weapon so I can let her try and see which suits her most. She can't be burying her talent if she's really good in one of those weapons," Mr. Fu replied immediately.

"I'll leave her in your hands then, master," Lin Huang agreed while smiling.

Chapter 1189: A Grand Reunion of Dynasty's Finest

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Mr. Fu only got down to business after they were done with their discussion about Lin Xin.

"Get Bloody to give me the steps to elevate a demigod to a Virtual God then."

Lin Huang nodded and summoned Bloody who was wearing a red dress when she appeared.

Mr. Fu was clearly stunned when he saw Bloody who had such a beautiful body. He only asked a while later, unsure about what he was seeing, "She's Bloody?"

Ever since Bloody elevated to the mythical-level, her form was not the only change she went through. Even her aura was now completely different.

"Did she elevate from a quadruple mutation?" Mr. Fu could not get his eyes off Bloody. "This is my first time seeing a quadruple mutated monster that's alive…"

Lin Huang nodded and smiled as he saw Mr. Fu's curiosity. "Yes, she has elevated from a quadruple mutation."

"Apart from your form, is there anything that's different compared to before?" Mr. Fu asked Bloody.

"Major changes, it's like a thorough transformation." Bloody replied honestly while smiling. "There are plenty of boosts in all aspects, I've also obtained much more abilities."

"What about the boost in your abilities?" Mr. Fu asked again.

"This probably varies from individual to individual. I've had a significant boost in my abilities because after all, my previous form was unsuitable for battle. On top of that, I've mastered plenty of human battle skills and secret skills. I wasn't able to do any of these things in my previous form. With my current form, I can pretty much perform all the human secret battle skills," Bloody explained in full detail.

"How about the skills like Supreme Intelligence that had before this? Is there a boost as well?"

"Yes, my computing skills has had a significant boost as well." Bloody nodded. "Moreover, I can feel that my Supreme Intelligence is at its peak now. If I elevated one more time or if this skill experiences a boost, it could possibly grow toward an even more powerful direction."

Mr. Fu only recalled the serious things after discussing a quadruple mutation with Bloody for some time.

"Oh yeah, that kid Lin Huang told me that you've found a way to elevate demigods to Virtual Gods. He also told me that the solution is to use the broken Godhead in a demigod's and cause an explosion. Is that true?" Mr. Fu was still doubtful of the solution until this moment.

"Put simply, that's about it." Bloody nodded and admitted.

"But one would have to follow my steps throughout the entire process or the success rate would be almost zero." Bloody continued as she walked in front of Mr Fu.

"I'll share the complete steps of the simulation I have concluded with you." Mr. Fu nodded and closed his eyes. Bloody then pointed her finger between Mr. Fu's brows. The tip of her finger was two to three millimeters before Mr. Fu's skin.

If one was to observe with Divine Telekinesis, one would see the colorless and formless particles that were so small they were almost invisible. They accumulated into threads that looked like lightning and pierced through between Mr. Fu's brows.

A moment later, Bloody retreated her finger after all of the particles had been transported.

Mr. Fu kept his eyes closed, delving into his body as he sought out the new information Bloody shared with him.

Mr. Fu was silent for more than ten minutes.

He looked deadly serious when he opened his eyes.

"How did you get the data of this simulation?"

"I obtained the preliminary data from Huang Tianfu and the rest. Such elevation can only be done by perfect-stage demigod-level powerhouses who have converted 100% of their Life Power to Divine Power. Although Huang Tianfu and the other two have rather higher data compared to ordinary perfect-stage demigod-level powerhouses, they range within the normal standard," Bloody explained, "I gotten the average rate after quantifying all kinds of data from the trio's bodies."

Mr. Fu nodded and asked again, "There's one step that I don't understand throughout the whole simulation. I can understand that the re-accumulation of Godhead after the broken Godhead exploded would need massive amounts of energy. However, why is high temperature and pressure required?"

"The function of high temperature and pressure is actually polymerization. Without the high temperature and pressure, it would be tough for the polymerization to happen if energy is the only thing that's provided. I've also got this inspiration from knowledge of other worlds."

Bloody peeped at Lin Huang who was next to her as she spoke to this point. In reality, she gotten the inspiration from the hydrogen bomb's nuclear fusion that Lin Huang told her before.

"Alright then. I heard from Lin Huang that you've done over a million simulations and the success rate was 97%?" Mr. Fu asked again.

"It's 97.1% to be exact," Bloody corrected him.

"Perfect-stage demigod-level powerhouses can elevate to Virtual Gods through this but how about those Virtual Gods who have been refining someone else's Godhead? Theoretically, they should be able to consolidate their own Godhead through the same method as well, right?"

"Yes, but the success rate will be much lower. The reason is that it's even tougher for a complete Godhead to explode but the impact would be stronger. Furthermore, those Virtual Gods who achieved the virtual god-level depending on refining Godheads are flawed in flesh and soul. The death rate would be even higher if they were to elevate this way."

"According to my current simulation, if one was to refine a Virtual God rank-1 Godhead, the success rate would only be 88.7%. Refining a Virtual God rank-2 Godhead would have a success rate of approximately be 81.6%. If one was to refine a Virtual God rank-3 Godhead, the success rate would only be 72.3%. These are already the best case scenarios from my simulations, especially the difficulty would be much higher in reality and pull the success rates even lower."

"It can work on Virtual Gods as well?!" Lin Huang was wondering if Virtual Gods who managed to achieve the virtual god-level through refining Godheads could use the same way as well. He held his tongue because he thought it was virtually impossible but now that he heard Bloody's explanation, he realized that Virtual Gods could do the same thing as well. "Is there any way to increase the success rate?"

"There's no way. At least there's no way that I know of before my Supreme Intelligence transforms again." Bloody smiled helplessly as she waved her hands.

"I must inform Baiyu and Haoyang to see what they think about this."

"There's no need to wait, you can do that now. Also, gather all those perfect-stage demigod-level powerhouses who are eager to elevate in these few days," Mr. Fu said to Lin Huang.

"It'll be New Year's Eve the day after tomorrow, do we have to rush it?" Lin Huang raised his eyebrows.

"It's better to settle this before New Year's Eve." Mr. Fu nodded.

"Alright then, I'll get Tianfu to make the arrangements." Lin Huang nodded and called Huang Tianfu right away.

Huang Tianfu had no complaints when Lin Huang delegated the responsibility to him. He merely replied, "Alright, I'll handle it."

Mr. Fu on the other hand was discussing the details with Bloody.

When it was almost lunch, Lin Huang had to interrupt them since they were still deep in discussion.

After lunch, Lin Huang left Bloody behind with Mr. Fu to answer his questions while he brought Lin Xin and Xiao Mo out for shopping.

Under Huang Tianfu's arrangements, a couple of perfect-stage demigod-level powerhouses rushed back to Dynasty's headquarters in Emperor City one after the other.

Including Huang Tianfu and the other two, there were a total of seven perfect-stage demigod-level powerhouses in Dynasty. All of them were present.

The last time the seven of them gathered was when Lin Huang was enthroned as the Emperor.

It was not only the seven perfect-stage demigod-level powerhouses, but Huang Baiyu and Huang Haoyang who Huang Tianfu informed of the matter were here as well.

Powerhouses wielding the top combat strength throughout Dynasty were now gathered in the same room.

Chapter 1190: The First One to Be Elevated

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

It was past six in the evening. Two Virtual Gods and seven perfect-stage demigod-level powerhouses from Dynasty gathered at the courtyard Mr. Fu had just moved into.

Lin Huang also went there according to Bloody's voice transmission. After all, Dynasty needed Lin Huang to look after the situation in the absence of the upper echelons.

"Baiyu, Haoyang, have the both of you decided? There's a certain probability that the transformation will fail. As soon as it fails, your cultivation base will be destroyed and you might not be able to cultivate any longer. That's considered a milder situation. If it's serious, you'll explode and die directly. Even your soul will be killed too."

"Tianfu told us about it in the past few days, so I've made up my mind." Huang Haoyang nodded without any hesitation.

Huang Baiyu also nodded. "I'm willing to accept it no matter what the final result is."

The duo had been stuck on their current level for hundreds of years. Throughout the centuries, they watched their juniors grow generation after generation while there was no way for their combat strength to be elevated at all. Naturally, they felt uncomfortable. Moreover, as the promotion of the ancient methods went on, achieving virtual god-level was no longer a challenge for those young people with terrifying talents. It was possible that the juniors would surpass them if they stagnated for some decades.

One of the reasons why Huang Baiyu and Huang Haoyang accepted the challenge was that they really hoped to be a normal cultivator who could boost their combat strength levels. Other than that, they figured it was just a matter of time for Huang Tianfu and the rest to surpass both of them as soon as they got to virtual god-level. To avoid being left out, the duo decided to take the risk.

Lin Huang stopped saying anything discouraging after confirming their determination.

"Since you guys have made up your minds, I'll respect your decision."

"Both of you will be the last. I'll start with those with a higher success rate first to warm up." Mr. Fu glanced at the seven perfect-stage demigod-level powerhouses including Huang Tianfu and asked while smiling, "Who wants to be the first?"

The seven of them were stunned to hear that question. Although Lin Huang told them that the success rate was 97%, it was only in theory. Furthermore, nobody had ever experimented with it before, not even Mr. Fu. Nobody was willing to be the first lab rat.

Just when Huang Tianfu thought no one was willing to volunteer, he saw Huang Tufu advancing a step out.

"I'll go first then!" Huang Tufu stepped out, appearing determined. The rest noticed that his muscles were stiff. He was clearly nervous.

"Alright, buff guy. You'll be the first then." Mr. Fu grinned at Huang Tufu.

"Mr. Fu…" Huang Tufu's scalp was a little numb upon noticing that Mr. Fu was studying him like a lab rat.

"Spill whatever you have to say!"

"So… Since I'll be the first one to do this, can you be more thorough later?" Huang Tufu probed while smiling.

"I'll know how much hair you have on your body when I scan you with my Divine Telekinesis later. How much more thorough do you want me to be?" Mr. Fu asked with a raised brow.

"Never mind. Pretend I never said that." Huang Tianfu shrugged helplessly.

"To prevent any interference, the entire elevation will take place in my God Territory. This is the first time we're doing this. Apart from Bloody and this buff guy, the rest will have to wait outside. The same goes for the rest. I don't want to be interrupted throughout the process. So, all of you will come in one by one. I'll block all the unrelated people outside."

"Don't you need my help?" Lin Huang asked.

"No, having Bloody is good enough. I'll get Bloody to contact you if I really need your help." His assistance was declined directly.

"Oh yeah, how long does it roughly take to elevate a person?" Mr. Fu asked Bloody.

Because Bloody's simulation was the fast-forwarded version, the entire process was compressed into a couple of seconds. Although that did not affect the content by scanning with his Divine Telekinesis, Mr. Fu could not pinpoint the exact duration.

"It usually takes around two hours. However, you'll need one to two hours to replenish your Divine Power after each round of elevation," Bloody explained, "It'll take longer for people who are already on virtual god-level. The replenishment will take longer too."

"So, that means it'll take at least three to four hours each." Mr. Fu raised his brow when he heard the clarification. He spoke to Huang Tianfu and the rest, "Then, let's not wait here. All of you can do whatever you want to do. Those who have nothing to do can go shopping or get some sleep. I'll get Lin Huang to inform you when it's your turn."

Huang Tianfu bowed immediately after hearing that. "Then, I'll return to my office. There are some things that I have yet to finish." He looked like a workaholic.

Huang Wunan glanced at him and spoke subsequently, "I'll return to my office too."

Among the nine of them, apart from Huang Tianfu and Huang Wunan, the rest said nothing.

The duo left right after they said goodbye.

Mr. Fu said nothing either. All he did was wave his sleeve. Next, Huang Tufu and Bloody disappeared at the same time. Subsequently, Mr. Fu faded away slowly.

Lin Huang knew that Mr. Fu had taken both of them into his God Territory.

"You guys don't have to stay here. I'll inform you when it's your turn," Lin Huang emphasized again. However, he stopped bothering them upon seeing that Huang Baiyu and the remaining five did not plan to leave.

Just as Lin Huang left Mr. Fu's courtyard, Huang Tufu's transformation began in Mr. Fu's God Territory. He sat with his legs crossed in the air with his eyes closed tightly.

Mr. Fu also sat across him with his legs crossed while his hand pressed against Huang Tufu's chest.

Golden Divine Power penetrated Huang Tufu's body rapidly. It soon found where the broken Godhead was, and a sea of Divine Power began filling it.

Meanwhile, Bloody stood aside while scanning Huang Tufu's body with Divine Telekinesis to observe the transformation process.

After Mr. Fu inserted Divine Power for an hour, Huang Tufu's broken Godhead was replenished and filled to the point that it could no longer take in anymore Divine Power.

"Higher temperature and more pressure right now!" Bloody urged to Mr. Fu through voice transmission.

Mr. Fu did not respond. Instead, he ignited his Divine Power, igniting the inside of Huang Tufu's body on fire. In the sea of fire fuelled by Divine Power, it began to put pressure from all directions, pressing the broken Godhead.

Huang Tufu had a dramatic change of expression. He could feel the pressure and high temperature that was squeezing his broken Godhead throughout his entire body. He was in so much pain that he was groaning.

"This is pretty painful, but you must bear it. Keep activating your Godhead and don't pass out. The elevation will fail as soon as the activation of broken Godhead stops," Bloody said to Huang Tufu through voice transmission, "Scream if you really can't take the pain. Don't hold it back. It might be better if you let it all out."

Huang Tufu nodded lightly while clenching his teeth. He dared not say a word, scared that he might give up as soon as he spoke.

Time passed by in the God Territory.

Mr. Fu maintained his Divine Power at a high temperature and high pressure. It was crushing Huang Tufu's broken Godhead in all directions.

Under normal circumstances, it was hard for the outside world to intervene as soon as one deactivated their Godhead. That was the reason why it was so hard to destroy a Godhead. However, the Godhead could experience an exchange of energy when it was activated. Theoretically, it could be destroyed.

As the high pressure and high temperature went on for more than an hour, the broken Godhead in Huang Tufu's body finally became unstable. Furthermore, the instability was getting more and more obvious. It might even explode anytime.

"Mr. Fu, you must maintain the high temperature and pressure at all times during this process. Even if his broken Godhead explodes, you can't stop for even a second. That's the key to combine the Godhead!" Bloody spoke to Mr. Fu through voice transmission again.

"Huang Tufu, don't detonate your broken Godhead on purpose. When the instablization is at its peak and might explode anytime, you can detonate it with little effort by then," Bloody spoke to Huang Tufu through voice transmission.

As Huang Tufu's broken Godhead went unstable, he immersed his consciousness into his body while waiting patiently.

As time ticked by, the broken Godhead soon expanded to its peak under the high temperature and pressure. The entire Godhead turned red like a smoldering iron.

Bloody's voice came into Huang Tufu's ears all of a sudden. "Right now!"

He detonated it without hesitation.

Bang!

Intense golden sparks came after the explosion. The glaring golden glow soon filled his entire inner world. The explosion soon reached its peak under the intense temperature and pressure.

"Activate your Divine Power to consolidate the Godhead!"

As Bloody's voice boomed, Huang Tufu began activating his Divine Power as much as he could.

A sea of Divine Power began to gather in a river in the middle of the explosion point. A whirlpool formed. Then, it merged into golden gravel at a speed that could be seen with the naked eye. The gravel was expanding continuously…

Chapter 1191: 100% Success Rate

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Huang Tufu's elevation took almost two and a half hours to complete.

Mr. Fu was finally relieved to see the Godhead in Huang Tufu's body being formed.

Although he was upset that Huang Tufu had called him short and old, he was merely giving him attitude so that Huang Tufu would watch his mouth in the future. Although he teased Huang Tufu about knowing how much hair he had on his body, Mr. Fu was giving it his all throughout the process of elevation as he did not want any mistakes to happen.

After all, it had something to do with Huang Tufu's future and destiny. As soon as it failed, Huang Tufu's cultivation base could be destroyed or worse, he could die from the explosion.

Huang Tufu was on cloud nine when his Godhead solidified successfully. He could clearly feel that his body and soul being transformed.

When he opened his eyes, he saw Mr. Fu had retreated ten meters away with his legs crossed to replenish his lost energy by refining Divine Stones. Huang Tufu thanked him immediately, "Thank you, Mr. Fu, for helping me to get to virtual god-level!"

Mr. Fu opened his eyes to peek at him. "Stay there quietly. Don't disturb me replenishing my Divine Power."

"Yes, yes, yes. I'll shut up." Huang Tufu covered his mouth and stayed where he was obediently. He quieted down his mind to observe the transformation in his body.

Although Mr. Fu and the other two did not get out of the God Territory, Lin Huang heard the news from Bloody as soon as the elevation ended. He found out that Huang Tufu's elevation was completed successfully. He had elevated from demigod-level to Virtual God rank-1!

In the Emperor's Palace, Lin Huang was finally relieved.

The 97.1% success rate that Bloody told him about before was just data in theory. They would only find out if the plan worked when it was carried out in reality. After all, the denotation of a broken Godhead was crazy enough when one heard about it. Now that Huang Tufu's elevation was successful, it finally proved that Bloody's simulation worked and that the solution that she came up with was viable.

Approximately over an hour later, Mr. Fu finally opened his eyes since the replenishment of his Divine Power was done.

Seeing that Huang Tufu's body transformation had yet to be done, he did not chase him out of his God Territory. Instead, he leaped and appeared in the courtyard.

"The buff guy has completed his elevation and his body is still in the midst of transformation. Who'll be the second one?" Mr. Fu glanced at the remaining four demigods since Huang Tianfu and Huang Wunan were absent.

"Me!" A muscular hunk who was even more muscular than Huang Tufu was the first to raise his hand.

"Pick me!" A girl with short hair who was rather tiny jumped up almost at the same time.

Mr. Fu looked at both of them carefully. "The lady goes first then. You'll be next, buff guy. The rest of you will discuss the sequence. Don't waste any time. I'd like to have a good rest during New Year's Eve."

Mr. Fu waved his sleeve again as soon as he was done speaking, and the short-haired girl disappeared from where she was directly. Mr. Fu too disappeared subsequently.

The girl saw Huang Tufu who was sitting with his legs crossed as soon as she was dragged into the God Territory. She clearly sensed that his aura was indeed on virtual god-level. While she was anxious before, she was now excited.

"It really works!"

Naturally, Mr. Fu noticed her change of emotions but he ignored that. He glimpsed at Huang Tufu who was still in mid-transformation and then spoke to the girl, "I'll send all of you out of my God Territory as soon as your Godhead is formed. You guys might interfere with the process and affect the others' elevation success rate if all of you stay in my God Territory. You guys can complete the body and soul transformation in the courtyard later."

The girl nodded. "Understood."

"Alright, calm down. Sit with your legs crossed and close your eyes. Begin activating your Godhead when you're ready. Leave the rest to me." Mr. Fu began to delve into the entire process since he had practiced it on Huang Tufu earlier.

The girl soon went into the zone and began activating her Godhead. Mr. Fu then began the first step.

Time flew by and two hours passed. The short-haired girl's forming of her Godhead was slightly faster than Huang Tufu. Naturally, she shrieked much louder than him throughout the process. Even Huang Tufu, whose body was undergoing the transformation, was woken by her screams.

Initially, he was confused about where the girl's screams were coming out of nowhere. He thought somebody was bullying a girl and was going to criticize the bully on instinct. However, when he opened his eyes, he realized that it was Mr. Fu elevating the short-haired girl. He covered his mouth immediately in fear that he might say something offensive again.

Bloody turned to Huang Tufu with a grin. Seeing him look at her, she gestured him to keep quiet.

Huang Tufu nodded and sat where he was without daring to move. He knew that it was a critical moment when the short-haired girl was consolidating her Godhead. He dared not do anything to distract Mr. Fu.

The short-haired girl's elevation was very successful as well. She triumphantly consolidated her Godhead within two hours.

Before she managed to extend her gratitude, Mr. Fu flicked his sleeve, sending her and Huang Tufu out of his God Territory.

Much to the excitement of the rest, they noticed that the duo's combat strength had changed as soon as they were sent out.

The short-haired girl's body was still changing while Huang Tufu had finished his transformation. The people then gathered around him to ask all sorts of questions.

After sending both of them out, Mr. Fu took an hour to rest and stepped out of his God Territory again.

"Buff guy, you'll be the third one." This time, Mr. Fu did not waste even a second. He waved his hand and took the muscular guy into his God Territory.

Since the muscular guy, another two demigods underwent successful elevation. Huang Tufu got Huang Tianfu and Huang Wunan to be there immediately.

The duo waited for Mr. Fu's Divine Power to recover in the courtyard. They then went into the God Territory one after another.

They took a slightly longer time, only completing the elevation almost three hours later.

After 28 hours, all seven perfect-stage demigod-level powerhouses in Dynasty had elevated to Virtual God rank-1.

The success rate was 100%!

Huang Baiyu and Huang Haoyang were thrilled to witness the success of the seven. Although the success rate for them would be slightly lower, they were encouraged by the continuous success for Huang Tianfu and the rest.

Even Mr. Fu himself was confident since he was getting more and more familiar with the process after performing it seven times consecutively.

After Huang Tianfu was elevated, Mr. Fu rested for more than three hours. He only stepped out of his God Territory when he had rested enough to perform at his peak.

He glanced at Huang Baiyu and Huang Haoyang, finally setting his eyes on the latter. "You're on Virtual God rank-2, so your success rate is slightly higher than his. You'll be the first."

Huang Haoyang nodded. "As you wish."

Mr. Fu flicked his sleeve, then Huang Haoyang disappeared. Mr. Fu's body faded slowly almost at the same time…

Chapter 1192: Huang Haoyang's Unique Godhead

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In reality, the conversion of Godheads required similar steps to consolidating broken Godheads.

To put it simply, it was just detonating the Godhead and piecing it back together to consolidate a new Godhead.

The difference was that the difficulty of detonating a complete Godhead was even higher. The energy that was released from the broken Godhead was even higher and much more difficult to control.

However, the two differences alone had spiked the difficulty for Mr. Fu who was the controller.

"Calm your emotions down. Don't rush it. After all, there's no difference if the conversion is done earlier or later. Sit down with your legs crossed and close your eyes when your body has stabilized. Control the Godhead in your body and activate it as usual. Leave the rest to me," Mr. Fu said to Huang Haoyang, "Just follow what I say after that and don't hesitate."

"Got it." Huang Haoyang nodded and began to adjust his breathing. His anxiety began melting after a few deep breaths and his heartbeat that had been racing was now normal.

After confirming that his body was alright, Huang Haoyang sat down with his legs crossed. He then nodded at Mr. Fu. "I'm ready."

In reality, Mr. Fu had been scanning Huang Haoyang's body with his Divine Telekinesis. He sat across Huang Haoyang calmly after confirming that he was relaxed and everything in his body was fine.

At that moment, Huang Haoyang closed his eyes and began activating the Godhead in his body.

Mr. Fu extended his palm and pressed it against Huang Haoyang's chest. Golden Divine Power began penetrating Huang Haoyang's body, going toward his Godhead.

This time, the penetration alone took over four hours. The Godhead in Huang Haoyang's body was filled after that.

Mr. Fu released a long sigh after confirming that the Godhead was full. The first step he took with Huang Haoyang alone was longer than the entire elevation process for Huang Tianfu and the rest.

Since the first step was completed, Mr. Fu began applying high pressure and high temperature on Huang Haoyang's Godhead.

At that point, Bloody advised, "Use four times higher pressure and temperature first and adjust it later."

Mr. Fu said nothing. In reality, Bloody had told him about this step before, but she was emphasizing it again.

After applying four times more pressure and temperature compared to what he did with Huang Tianfu and the rest, Mr. Fu and Bloody observed the changes in Huang Haoyang's Godhead.

A moment later, Bloody spoke again, "Four times isn't enough. Make it five!"

Mr. Fu did as she said immediately.

Less than a minute had passed before Bloody frowned slightly. "Make it seven!"

"Are you sure? You only did a little more than four times in your simulation," Mr. Fu could not help but ask through voice transmission.

"I missed out the Godhead's attribution in the simulation because most attributes won't affect the process. However, the Godhead that he's refined seems to be a little more unique. If I'm not mistaken, this is a Godhead that was born with a fire attribute. It has a high resistance to high temperatures. We have to increase the temperature and pressure to detonate the Godhead. There's no other way," Bloody explained helplessly.

"But if that's the case, even if the explosion happens, the impact of the explosion will surpass our expectations by heaps. The impact on his body and soul will be a few times more." Mr. Fu was already considering giving up.

"Indeed, his survival rate will drop to 21.7% and the success rate will be less than 18%." Bloody frowned deeply. "Unless there's an outlet for the extra energy coming from the explosion."

"Why don't we stop it now? The failure rate will be high if this goes on," Mr. Fu advised.

"I've an idea. I'll get Master to absorb the extra energy." Bloody thought of an idea all of a sudden.

"Lin Huang? We're dealing with Divine Power here. Moreover, the Divine Power coming from such a high pressured explosion in Huang Haoyang's body might be like being attacked by a Virtual God rank-4 powerhouse." Mr. Fu could not understand why Bloody would suggest such a bad idea at such a time.

"Don't worry about it. Master can even refine a Virtual God rank-9 Godhead. However, indeed, we need to ask Huang Haoyang's opinion first and see if he wants to proceed." Bloody then explained the current situation to Huang Haoyang through voice transmission.

"Less than an 18% success rate?" Even Huang Haoyang was stunned to hear that. He then asked subsequently, "What if Master Emperor absorbs the extra energy? Will the success rate increase a little?"

"It depends on his absorption rate and the duration of which your body and soul can take the impact, but it's definitely higher than 18%." Bloody did not provide an exact value. "But you can give up temporarily. I'll spend some time building a model based on your body's data. Then, I'll perform the simulation again and see if I can find another way to get a higher success rate."

Huang Haoyang fell into silence for a moment and made up his mind. "Go on then. After all, this is caused by the unique Godhead attribute in my body. You might not be able to find a way to raise the success rate with the simulation."

"Indeed, I might not be able to find a way," Bloody admitted while nodding. She only found a way after more than a million simulations earlier. It was even more difficult for her to improve it from the foundation. "Then, I'll get Master here."

It was five in the morning at the moment. The sky was still dark since it was winter in Emperor City.

Lin Huang, who was in a deep sleep, was awakened by Bloody. He sat up immediately and appeared in Mr. Fu's courtyard in a flash after hearing Bloody's explanation.

Huang Tianfu and the rest had left Mr. Fu's courtyard much earlier while Huang Baiyu was the only one who stayed. He was stunned to see Lin Huang's appearance in his pajamas at such a time.

However, Mr. Fu dragged Lin Huang into his God Territory in the next second.

Huang Baiyu's pupils shrunk a little. "Did something happen to Haoyang?!"

Lin Huang rushed over in his pajamas and he was dragged into Mr. Fu's God Territory as soon as he arrived. Huang Baiyu knew something must have happened to Huang Haoyang even if he had to think with his toes. He began to worry.

As Lin Huang was dragged into the God Territory, Bloody narrated exactly what happened to him quickly.

"Got it. Leave the absorbing of the extra energy to me," Lin Huang agreed without hesitation.

Mr. Fu began adding pressure and temperature into the Godhead in Huang Haoyang's body. He raised the intensity from five to seven times.

However, Bloody urged again approximately a minute later, "Eight times!"

This time, Mr. Fu had no doubts and raised the pressure and temperature by eight times.

Approximately three minutes later, Bloody spoke again, "Raise the pressure to 8.5 times and the temperature to 12 times!"

"Are you sure about that?" Mr. Fu asked.

"I'm sure!"

Mr. Fu did as he was ordered right after he received the confirmation.

Around three minutes later, she instructed, "Maintan the same amount of pressure and raise the temperature to 18 times!"

"Ahh!" Huang Haoyang's veins were bulging from the pain while his gums were bleeding from all the clenching.

"You must remain awake no matter how painful it is. Otherwise, you'll waste all the efforts," Bloody said to Huang Haoyang through voice transmission.

Huang Haoyang's eyes were all bloodshot with red veins. He panted hard while nodding at Bloody. He had no more strength to speak.

Time crawled by. Finally, Bloody did not order to increase the temperature any further, much to Mr. Fu's relief.

The next three hours were complete torture for Huang Haoyang. The immense pain almost crushed his consciousness, but his strong will gave him the strength to hold on to it.

The bloody red Godhead in his body was reaching the brink of explosion.

"Master, press your palm to his back. You'll have to absorb the Divine Power as soon as the Godhead explodes later. You can only stop when I ask you to," Bloody said to Lin Huang.

Lin Huang nodded and walked to Huang Haoyang. He then sat behind him with his legs crossed and pressed both of his palms on his back.

Bloody then turned his head to Huang Haoyang. "It all depends on you now. Detonate the Godhead when it's almost exploding. Don't do it prematurely. When it explodes, summon a soul-type god relic to protect your soul immediately. You must bear the impact alive!"

Huang Haoyang panted while nodding hard.

A moment later, the bloody Godhead finally reached its brink of exploding. Barely holding on, Huang Haoyang detonated it, and it exploded.

Red sparks shot out, illuminating his inner world. The red Divine Power that ignited spread towards all directions.

Right at that moment, Lin Huang absorbed the spreading Divine Power.

With Lin Huang as the outlet, the sea of bloody Divine Power rushed into his body like a broken dam.

The ten Divine Fires in his body absorbed all of the scorching red Divine Power, sharing the same amount of power among themselves. Lin Huang noticed this and increased the strength of absorption immediately.

With him absorbing the Divine Power, the pressure in Huang Haoyang's body was lifted.

However, the explosion impacted his body and soul. His soul was injured from the first round of impact. He was dying from the consecutive impacts while his soul was shaking.

Even though he had a soul-type god relic protecting his soul, his body and soul were weaker than an ordinary Virtual God rank-2 powerhouses. He could not bear the impact that was on par with a Virtual God rank-4's attack.

Naturally, Lin Huang noticed the changes in Huang Haoyang's body. Seeing that his soul was being crushed, an idea popped into his head. He released Divine Fire to fill Huang Haoyang's body directly.

The ten Divine Fires were like ten fire dragons rushing into Huang Haoyang's body. They began absorbing the bloody Divine Power as much as they could.

One of them even rushed up in front of Huang Haoyang's soul and blocked the impact.

The Divine Fire dragons danced in Huang Haoyang's body for less than a minute, and almost half of the Divine Power in his body was taken away.

Three minutes later, there was less than a tenth of Divine Power in his body.

Bloody told Lin Huang to stop upon noticing that, "You have to stop. If your Divine Fire proceeds to absorb the Divine Power, he can't consolidate his Godhead."

Lin Huang recalled his Divine Fire immediately.

Meanwhile, a bloody, gravel-sized Godhead was formed in the middle of the explosion point in Huang Haoyang's body. The bloody Divine Power around it turned into a gigantic bloody whirlpool and penetrated the gravel…

Chapter 1193: Conversion Completed

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Thinking that death was a sure thing, Huang Haoyang did not expect Lin Huang to summon ten fire dragons. Lin Huang pulled him away from the brink of death and allowed him to reconsolidate his Godhead.

He had no idea that the fire dragons were made of Divine Fire. He thought it was some technique that Lin Huang had executed.

He was also unaware of was that if not for Lin Huang, he would have exploded and died much earlier if another Virtual God had helped him instead.

Seeing that Huang Haoyang's aura had stabilized and that he began using the Divine Power from his transformation to recover his body and soul, Mr. Fu waved his hand and sent him out of the God Territory.

"Divine Fire… You sure have many secrets!" On the other hand, Mr. Fu saw that Lin Huang was using Divine Fire.

"I was lucky to obtain it unintentionally," Lin Huang admitted while smiling bashfully.

"No wonder Bloody told me that you can even refine a Virtual god rank-9 Godhead." Mr. Fu thought of something all of a sudden. "You told me that you were going to use Godhead as the foundation of imperial-level before. Did you really do that?"

Lin Huang had mentioned this when he had a phone call with Mr. Fu before elevating to imperial-level. However, since he only mentioned it casually, Mr. Fu did not take it seriously. Nonetheless, upon seeing there was Divine Fire in Lin Huang's body now, Mr. Fu figured Lin Huang might have really done it.

"Yes."

Seeing that Lin Huang admitted that with a nod, Mr. Fu proceeded to ask, "So, how did you elevate to imperial-level?"

"By refining more Godheads," Lin Huang answered.

"So, what happens when you elevate to virtual god-level?" Mr. Fu was a little puzzled.

"I'm not too sure at the moment, but theoretically, I shouldn't be able to elevate further when my Life Palace reaches the peak. I think I'll have to convert my Godhead," Lin Huang explained, "But I'm not sure how I'm supposed to do it exactly. I'll figure it out then."

"You're being too reckless! You should consider the consequences before doing it." Mr. Fu frowned, thinking that what Lin Huang had done was too risky.

"Don't worry about me. There are countless types of cultivation methods in the great world. I'll look around as much as I can. I'll definitely find a way to elevate to virtual god-level by then." Lin Huang was not in a rush at all, and he did not think that he had made a mistake.

"Take a rest, Mr. Fu. It's New Year's Eve tomorrow. I think it'll take a long time to convert Huang Baiyu's Godhead too." Bloody helped to divert the subject at that second.

"What time is it now?" Mr. Fu lifted his head to ask Lin Huang.

"It's already 8.30 a.m.," Lin Huang said after checking the time.

Mr. Fu said nothing more. He took out a Divine Stone again and replenished his Divine Power after shutting his eyes.

As he was not sure if Huang Baiyu needed any help with the conversion, Lin Huang could only wait in the God Territory. He began chatting with Bloody through voice transmission because he was bored. He asked about Huang Tianfu and the rest's elevation.

Meanwhile, Huang Baiyu was relieved to see Huang Haoyang appearing in Mr. Fu's courtyard, looking fine while his combat strength remained on Virtual God rank-2.

Huang Haoyang only opened his eyes slowly four to five hours later.

"What happened earlier? I saw the Emperor going into the God Territory," Huang Baiyu asked immediately.

"You can't even imagine it. The Godhead that I refined is born with a fire attribute. I almost died from that, dude! Can you believe that the gigantic fire dragons the Master Emperor summoned are a 10,000 feet long each? They can suck the bloody Divine Power in my body into their dragon stomachs like an inverted tornado. It's as easy as slurping noodles to them…"

Huang Haoyang suddenly had an urge to boast when he saw his old friend Huang Baiyu. Huang Baiyu was stunned to hear him describe the entire process exaggeratedly

This time, Mr. Fu took almost six hours to finally replenish his Divine Power. He spent another hour to settle down before standing up to pull the last person, Huang Baiyu, into his God Territory.

Huang Baiyu was a little anxious at first. However, he was relieved to see Lin Huang there. After all, Huang Haoyang had boasted that Lin Huang was a Godsent from heaven.

"Calm down. Sit with your legs crossed and quiet your mind with your eyes closed. Begin activating your Godhead after settling down." Mr. Fu was at ease since he had the experience of handling Huang Haoyang earlier.

Huang Baiyu did as he was ordered and Mr. Fu went into the zone immediately.

Huang Baiyu's Godhead took seven hours of channeling Mr. Fu's Divine Power to be completely filled. By then, they reached the second step.

"Use six times of high temperature and high pressure first." Bloody was guiding Mr. Fu by the side.

Mr. Fu controlled his Divine Power to increase the temperature and pressure right away.

Bloody spoke again a moment later, "Seven times."

Mr. Fu made a slight adjustment immediately.

"7.5 times!"

Mr. Fu did as he was ordered.

"7.8 times!"

Mr. Fu did as he was ordered again. With his prior experience, he knew that there was no need for him to doubt Bloody's estimation.

"Alright, maintain this." Bloody finally nodded as she observed the minor changes in the Godhead in Huang Baiyu's body with Divine Telekinesis. However, she frowned a little.

"Although his Godhead is Virtual God rank-3, in reality, it's close to Virtual God rank-4. The impact of the explosion will definitely be more intense than we expected. We might need to get Master to absorb the Divine Power again," Bloody said to Mr. Fu and Lin Huang through voice transmission.

The Divine Power at the high temperature and pressure had been penetrating the Godhead for seven hours until Huang Baiyu's Godhead finally reached the brink of explosion.

After hearing Bloody's instructions, Lin Huang sat behind Huang Baiyu with his legs crossed easily while pressing both palms on his back.

A moment later, the Godhead in Huang Baiyu's body exploded. Endless white sparks flew out as insane Divine Power that exceeded their expectations spread out.

Lin Huang summoned all ten of his Divine Fires to suppress that. Ten fire dragons entered Huang Baiyu's body rapidly, spreading out toward all directions and absorbing the immense Divine Power.

Soon, ten gigantic inverted tornadoes appeared in Huang Baiyu's body one after another.

Each gigantic dragon was absorbing the sea of Divine Power like a whale guzzling water.

The riled up Divine Power that even Mr. Fu could do nothing about was suppressed within one to two minutes.

Huang Baiyu's soul was protected behind a gigantic fire dragon since the beginning, so it suffered almost zero impact.

Bloody called off the absorption of the Divine Power after it went on for almost four minutes. "Alright, he can consolidate the Godhead as usual now."

Lin Huang then recalled the Divine Fire back into his body.

Reluctantly, a couple of Divine Fire dragons peered hungrily in the direction where Huang Baiyu's Godhead was forming before they left. They wanted more.

As the ten Divine Fire dragons retreated from Huang Baiyu's body, his inner world finally recovered its peace. A massive white whirlpool formed in the middle where the Godhead was. White gravel was quickly appearing in the core of the whirlpool at a speed that could be seen with the naked eye.

Chapter 1194: Sticky Rice Cake

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

It was almost six in the morning when Mr. Fu sent Huang Baiyu out of his God Territory.

Lin Huang, Bloody and Mr. Fu walked out of the God Territory right after that.

Mr. Fu let out a long sigh upon seeing the sun that had just risen from the horizon far away. "It's the New Year. Ah, I can finally take a good rest."

"Rest well, Master. I'll visit you at lunch with Xin Er," Lin Huang suggested.

"Alright then, I'll take a nap. I've been really exhausted throughout these few days. It's been over 800 years since I last drained my Divine Power like this," Mr. Fu confessed with a slight smile.

Lin Huang glanced at Huang Baiyu. He carried him and walked towards Lin Xin's compound next door with Bloody.

As they departed, Mr. Fu lifted his head and looked at the sun far away. He smirked. "It's a new year!"

After watching them for a while, he then turned around and walked towards the loft behind him with his hands behind his back.

Initially, Lin Huang thought he would be able to rest during the last few days at the end of the year. Never had he thought he would be dragged into being a slave and miss guarding the year with Lin Xin.

She was still sleeping when they arrived at her compound. Lin Huang did not wake her. Instead, he put Huang Baiyu down in a small pavilion in the courtyard and sat on the stone stool.

Bloody walked to the stone stool across him and sat down.

"Judging from Huang Baiyu's conversion earlier, I think Virtual God rank-3 is the limit of the solution. If it were Virtual God rank-4, I'm afraid it'd be difficult even for Mr. Fu to detonate the Godhead," Lin Huang told Bloody.

"It'll still work, but the controller might have to be a true god-level powerhouse when handling Virtual Gods above Virtual God rank-4." Bloody thought about and explained, "But, indeed, there are many uncertainties for Godheads that are obtained from other sources. It's very hard to figure what oddity some Godheads might have before the process begins. Even the refiners themselves are unsure of the Godheads that they've refined. Just like Huang Haoyang who underwent the conversion before Huang Baiyu, even he had no idea that he refined a Godhead with fire attribute."

"I think if Mr. Fu really wants to make this into a business, it's best not to take virtual god-level powerhouses in. He can only do it for demigods," Bloody could not help but suggest, "After all, the success rate is already so low. If he encounters those with problematic Godheads like Huang Haoyang's, death is almost guaranteed."

"I was just thinking about that," Lin Huang responded, "I really hope there are more virtual god-level powerhouses in this gravel world, and the more powerful they are, the better. However, the success rate is an issue. Also, the conversion is quite a burden to master. On the other hand, elevating demigods have a high success rate and it's easier for him."

"We can tell the people that we've only found a way to elevate demigods to Virtual Gods, but we haven't found a way to convert a Virtual God's Godhead." Lin Huang came up with a plan.

Since Lin Xin was still sleeping after speaking to Bloody, Lin Huang thought of bringing Bloody out of Dynasty's headquarters. They went to the fat lady's dumpling stall for breakfast.

The fat lady and uncle were still the same, busy working in the stall.

The fat uncle saw Lin Huang's familiar face, so he greeted him with a wide grin immediately. The fat lady's temptation to pry burned strongly when she saw Bloody.

"Master Emperor, have you brought a girl to our dumpling stall today? This lady is so pretty! Master Emperor, I don't mean to be offensive, but you should bring such a beautiful lady to a higher-end restaurant."

"Aunty, your stall is pretty high-end. Look around you, which stall within 20 miles has a longer queue than yours every morning?" Lin Huang teased.

The uncle continued with a grin, "That's right. What's wrong with dumplings? Our dumplings are one-of-a-kind in Emperor City. How are we not a high-end restaurant?"

The lady narrowed her eyes until there were only two slits as she spoke, "A man is always lying with his lips! The sweeter the things he says, the more you can't believe him!"

Bloody simpered when she heard that comment. She began to understand that humans were animals who said things they did not mean.

"You can try their dumplings," Lin Huang recommended, "If you don't like them, their sticky rice cake is pretty delicious too."

Lin Huang said that because Bloody used to only eat desserts whenever she was snacking. Her favorite food was sweets, and her second favorite was sugary drinks in all flavors as well as dessert. She was never interested in savory food such as dumplings.

However, now that she had elevated to mythical-level, Lin Huang was not sure if her tastebuds had changed.

Soon, the fat uncle brought two servings of dumplings.

Bloody used her chopsticks to take a nibble out of one dumpling. She then put it down and shook her head.

"Seems like your tastebuds remain unchanged." Lin Huang smiled and called to the fat uncle, "Uncle, a serving of sticky rice cake, please!"

"Sure, coming right up!"

The fat lady brought a small serving of four sticky rice cakes.

Bloody sniffed it in confusion. Judging by the smell, it smelled sweet, but there was the aroma of sticky rice. She was unsure if it was appealing or not.

She took a small bite of one with her chopsticks. The confusion on her face morphed into joy all of a sudden. She then picked up another sticky rice cake and shoved it into her mouth quickly.

"It's yummy, isn't it?" Lin Huang knew that she would like that.

Bloody nodded enthusiastically immediately.

When Lin Huang was done with half a serving of dumplings, Bloody had finished all four pieces of sticky rice cake. Lin Huang ordered another portion for her after noticing that.

The uncle noticed this and could not help reminding, "Our sticky rice cake is pretty filling. The most I can eat is two servings and I wouldn't be able to have lunch later on. You guys can get a refund if you can't finish. Don't force it down."

"Don't worry about it, Uncle. I'll pack it for lunch if we really can't finish it," Lin Huang assured kindly.

After the uncle left, Bloody finished another serving of sticky rice cake quickly.

Before Lin Huang could finish the second serving of dumplings, Bloody had inhaled the third serving of sticky rice cake.

Lin Huang raised his eyebrow when he realized that Bloody was looking at him in hunger. "Do you want more?"

Bloody nodded immediately.

"Then, I'll order two more servings for take-away and get a serving of dumplings for Xin Er."

Bloody's take-away was ready when Lin Huang was finished eating.

The duo then stood up and returned to Dynasty's headquarters. It was past seven in the morning when they were done with breakfast, and Lin Xin had just woken up when they arrived at the courtyard.

"Wash up now and have some breakfast." Lin Huang brought the dumplings that he had packed to the first floor and put it on the dining table.

"Coming!" Lin Xin's voice chimed from the second floor.

Bloody unpacked the sticky rice cake right away and began munching away at the table.

When Lin Xin got down, Bloody had finished the two servings of sticky rice cakes that she brought back.

"Brother, where did you go yesterday? I was guarding the year last night and I waited until 1 a.m. but I didn't see you," Lin Xin asked as soon as she saw Lin Huang when she arrived downstairs after putting on her slippers.

"Master dragged me to be his slave in the middle of the night. We were only done when it was almost six in the morning," Lin Huang explained with a comforting smile. "Don't worry. It's the first day of the New Year today. I'll guard the year with you tonight to remedy for last night."

Lin Xin pouted when she heard his response, "What's the point? Guarding the year means guarding the last day of the year and watching the New Year start. It doesn't make sense to guard the year today."

"Alright, I'll do it tonight and bring you shopping tomorrow," Lin Huang extended his condition.

"No, it has to be for three days!" Lin Xin bargained.

"Alright, three days it is," Lin Huang agreed to that bitterly since he figured there should not be anything happening the next three days.

Chapter 1195: Three Days of Torture

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Winter break in the gravel world usually lasted for more than two months from the end of December to the beginning of March.

Even cultivator organizations such as the Union Government and the Hunter Association would have a ten-day holiday during the end of the year. Apart from a minority of members guarding the organizations, the operations of the entire company's were basically stopped.

Naturally, it was the same for Dynasty whereby they had a standard ten-day holiday. During the first few days of New Year, apart from Huang Tianfu and the ten staff who had nowhere to go, Lin Huang's family was the only one that remained in Dynasty's headquarters. The massive headquarters was very quiet.

Since Lin Huang missed guarding the year with Lin Xin, he agreed to the unfair terms to go shopping with her.

In reality, he wanted to seize the opportunity to accompany Lin Xin, figuring that he would leave the gravel world soon after the New Year. After all, many things were still a question mark in the great world. He might not have enough strength to protect himself, so it would be unrealistic to bring Lin Xin along.

Lin Xin started to bug Lin Huang to bring her shopping after she finished the dumplings that he had packed.

"Can't you just stay at home on the first day of the New Year?" Lin Huang looked helpless.

"But it's so boring here. There's nobody in the entire Dynasty, and there's no New Year atmosphere here." Lin Xin gave a legit reason. "Since Sister Bloody is here, I'll get Brother Xiao Mo while you summon Little Witch and Sister Kylie, then we'll go shopping together."

"Summon Little Witch and Sister Kylie? What are you trying to do? Tear Emperor City apart?" Lin Huang asked while staring at her.

"We're all girls. They can give us their opinions when Sister Bloody and I shop. I can't be trusting you and Brother Xiao Mo, the two straight guys' sense of beauty. Am I right?" Lin Xin said while pouting.

"I think my sense of beauty is fine." Lin Huang had never thought there was anything wrong with his sense of beauty.

"Alright then." Lin Xin did not dwell on that with Lin Huang. Instead, she took out ten lipsticks and asked him after opening the caps, "What's the difference between the color of these lipsticks?"

Lin Huang glanced at the cylindrical tubes and subsequently frowned. "They're all red. What's the difference?"

"Sister Bloody?" Lin Huang turned around to look at Bloody.

Bloody glimpsed and said expressionlessly, "From left to right, it's No. 405 Tomato Red, No. 200 Muddy Maroon, No. 501 Red Bean, No. 154 Plum, No. 407 Moody Red Bean, No. 409 Dark Plum, No. 12 Pinky, No. 333 Maple, No. 80 Ruby and No. 317 Tangerine."

"You're absolutely right!" Lin Xin turned her head and smirked at Lin Huang. "What kind of opinion will you be able to give if I'm getting lipstick later?"

Lin Huang was speechless for a moment. "Alright, you win."

Lin Huang exclaimed secretly after summing Kylie and the Witch, 'Fortunately, this girl has no idea I have another four Bug Tribe Queen Mothers who take form of girls."

Kylie, who had elevated to quadruple mutation, wore a gold and purple armor dress. The material of the armor dress did not look like metal. Instead, it was more like a combination of metal and fabric that fluttered in the wind. Furthermore, the style looked luxurious. The patterns and designs on it were complex yet elegant. One could tell that it was tens of times or even up to a hundred times more expensive than an armor dress of the same rank.

She finally did not wear a mask on her face. She had a beautiful face but it was intimidating, especially her eyes. There were no eyeballs, just golden flashes of lightning that were sparkling.

On the other hand, the Witch no longer looked like a 15 or 16-year-old little girl. She had transformed into a young lady with long, shapely legs. She wore a black short skirt, showing off her pair of legs. In addition to that, her breasts and butt were perfectly proportioned. In short, she was sexy.

Meanwhile, her face looked like it belonged to a seductive mistress. Men might not be able to help but steal a glance at her a few times. A look was all it would take to make a man fall in love.

Lin Xin was stunned since it was her first time seeing the duo's brand new look.

She only snapped back to her senses a while later. "It's better if you guys change. You're attracting too much attention. Sister Kylie, put on some sunglasses to cover your eyes."

Lin Huang contacted Xiao Mo as Lin Xin got the two girls to change.

Xiao Mo was stunned when he saw the Witch and Kylie when he got there. He could not help but ask Lin Huang who the two girls were. To his disbelief, he found out that they were imperial monsters.

It was past eight in the morning when the two girls were done changing.

Lin Huang and the gang headed towards the shopping district as soon as they left home.

The two handsome men and the four beautiful ladies attracted attention as soon as they strolled on the streets.

If everyone in Emperor City did not know who Lin Huang was, many might have thought that the city was having a parade whereby the six of them were a new band.

Lin Huang and Lin Xin had gotten used to being watched, but Xiao Mo felt uneasy.

Among the three summoning beasts, Bloody and Little Witch did not care about the attention. However, Kylie disliked the attention.

The six of them grabbed even more attention when they reached the shopping district.

It was crowded in the shopping district, and there were people everywhere. All the stores were opened and the staff on shift were busy. Undoubtedly, their efficiency was much lower than usual since they were understaffed. It caused a long queue which wasted more time for the shoppers than usual. The entire shopping district was even more packed than the average day.

"There are so many people today!" Lin Xin complained to Lin Huang, "And you said people usually stay at home on the first day of the New Year."

"Buy whatever you want now. We're having lunch with Master when we're done." Lin Huang changed the subject directly.

"How do I know what I want if I don't shop?" Lin Xin had a different logic.

Lin Huang wanted to argue her logic, but he gave up on the idea when he thought about it. He recalled something that he had heard before. 'Don't try to argue with a girl because they always think they're right.'

The two men and three human-form pets followed Lin Xin shopping from one store to another.

Lin Huang noticed that Lin Xin had no purpose when she was shopping. She had no idea what she wanted to buy.

If Lin Huang were to shop, he would first choose the item that he was looking for and exclude the rest. He would only shop for one type of targeted item.

For instance, if he was looking for a t-shirt, he would only go into t-shirt stores. If there was no t-shirt store at first glance, he would skip the entire area.

However, Lin Xin had a different shopping logic.

'Oh, they sell caps here. Let's take a look. This store has nice bags. Let's take a look too. This store has cool sunglasses. Let's go in. Wow, they have such cute dolls! Let's go. This wedding dress is so pretty. Let's take a look. This fitness store is so neat. Let's go in…'

She browsed over 20 stores in the morning alone and tested up to a hundred products. However, in the end, she bought nothing.

The other three female imperial monsters felt nothing. Perhaps because they were girls just like Lin Xin or perhaps monsters were curious about the human world, but they were happy shopping with her.

Even though Kylie did not show any emotions on her face, Lin Huang noticed that she would touch the products that she was interested in.

Xiao Mo had no expression on his face. Lin Xin would always drag him out for shopping when Lin Huang was not around, so he had gotten used to such torture.

However, to Lin Huang, shopping with Lin Xin was even more tiring than refining Virtual God rank-9 Godheads.

At least, he could see the refinement progress that increased daily whenever he refined Godheads. However, Lin Xin buying nothing from her window-shopping spree throughout the entire morning meant 0% progress to him.

After lunch with Mr. Fu, Lin Xin recovered her strength. She then brought Lin Huang and the rest to begin a new round of shopping.

Mr. Fu had asked Lin Huang what he was going to do in the afternoon at lunch. Upon hearing that he was going shopping with Lin Xin, he left with the excuse that an old man like him needed a nap after lunch.

Since it was the New Year, all the stores in the shopping district closed earlier than usual.

All of the stores closed when they shopped until almost 9 p.m. on the first day. Lin Xin returned to Dynasty's headquarters unwillingly.

At night, Lin Huang brought Huang Tianfu and the rest of the staff who stayed back out for a reunion dinner. It was considered the replacement reunion dinner that he missed yesterday.

On the second and third days, Lin Huang and Xiao Mo brought Lin Xin shopping in the morning and would go home late. They would head out at 8 a.m. and returned after 10 p.m. every day.

Throughout the three days, Lin Xin brought them to the five biggest shopping districts and seven big shopping complexes in Emperor City.

They had stopped in at least 300 stores and looked at up to 1,000 products. In the end, Lin Xin bought a pair of shoes, a shoulder tote, and some ten presents for Bloody and the other two.

She was thinking of getting Lin Huang and Xiao Mo something, but both of them declined her offer directly.

Lin Huang was finally relieved when he returned to the Emperor Place on the night of the third day of the New Year.

"The three days of torture have finally come to an end!"

Chapter 1196: The Meeting After the New Year

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Lin Huang finally eased into rest mode officially after the third day of the New Year.

However, he did not stay idle. He was learning new sword skills every day.

He would master a new pseudo-mythical-level sword skill almost every day. As he mastered more and more sword skills, he could faintly sense that his level-6 Sword Dao was approaching its peak.

Time flew by, and very soon a week had passed.

The tenth day of the New Year was the last day of holiday for many, including the people in Dynasty.

It was the 11th day of the New Year on the 3rd of March. All the organizations basically went back to their normal working operations.

Lin Huang called for a meeting with Huang Tianfu and Huang Wunan early in the morning.

Since it was the first meeting of the year, Huang Tufu rushed back to the headquarters from Division 3.

The rest of the upper echelons were basically there.

At the meeting table, the six demigod Dukes gaped at Huang Tianfu and the rest in confusion. They clearly sensed that Huang Tianfu and the other six of them were now on virtual god-level. It was unexpected.

The six of them asked about it through voice transmission. The only response they got was, "Master Emperor will explain later."

The meeting officially began at 9 a.m.

It was still hosted by Huang Tianfu who welcomed Lin Huang after starting the meeting.

"The purpose of this meeting is to gather everyone since the New Year has started. After all, it's a new beginning with new plans. While I have many plans for myself this year, so does Dynasty.

"The first thing I would like to announce is that Mr. Fu is settling in Dynasty," Lin Huang explained further upon seeing many of them appearing surprised.

"I know that you guys have many doubts. The legendary Mr. Fu is my master. He used to be on Virtual God rank-8 and he's now on Virtual God rank-9. I invited him to come into Dynasty before the New Year, and he's temporarily staying for a year."

"Mr. Fu coming in won't affect Dynasty's daily operations. Dynasty will still be led by Huang Tianfu, Huang Wunan, and Huang Tufu. Mr. Fu is only responsible for Dynasty's safety matters."

Many of them were finally relieved to hear that. They were a little worried that Dynasty would have a change in authority structure when they first heard about Mr. Fu moving in. It seemed like Lin Huang had invited Mr. Fu there to provide Dynasty with a pillar of support.

"The second thing is what you guys have witnessed—Tianfu and the rest have elevated to virtual god-level.

"I've successfully found a way to elevate demigod-levels to virtual god-level. I've also gotten Mr. Fu to help Tianfu and the rest of the powerhouses on perfect-stage demigod-level to virtual god-level.

"Such an elevation process must follow the strict steps that I provide. Apart from that, only high-level Virtual Gods such as Mr. Fu can carry out the process. Furthermore, the basic condition is that the person to be elevated must be on perfect-stage demigod-level and the Life Power in his body will have to be fully converted to Divine Power. That's the reason why the six demigod Dukes present today weren't informed before the New Year.

"The third thing is that I have a portion of God's Blood that can help demigods to accelerate their conversion of Life Power to Divine Power. I'll get Tianfu's help to delegate it out the next few days.

"As the God's Blood might not be able to get all the demigods to perfect-stage demigod-level, it will be distributed according to the contribution points that all of you obtained last year. Those who have more contribution points will be given the God's Blood first while those who have less will be awarded later. Does anybody have anything to say about the sequence?"

All six of the demigods shook their heads.

In reality, it was very fair to carry out the dissemination by one's contribution points. Moreover, Lin Huang had taken over Dynasty last year, so it made sense to disseminate the God's Blood based on a year of contribution points.

"So, I'll hand over the God's Blood to Tianfu. He'll elevate you guys to perfect-stage demigod-level when he's done giving out the God's Blood and send me the list of those who are elevating to Virtual Gods. I'll then get Mr. Fu to handle that.

"The fourth thing is also related to demigods elevating to Virtual God. I've discussed this with Mr. Fu. We're planning to announce this news to the public. After all, we can't hide this forever as soon as there are that many Virtual Gods in Dynasty. It's better that we let people know now.

"We have plans to charge organizations other than Dynasty for the service. So, don't think that you guys won't have any competition and that you'll be able to relax as soon as you guys have elevated to Virtual God."

"The reason we came up with such a decision is mainly that disaster is hitting our gravel world soon. We need virtual god-level powerhouses to handle the crisis.

"Of course, the exact announcement will be made when this round of Dynasty demigods are done with the elevation. Therefore, I hope that all of you complete the elevation to virtual god-level as soon as you can when you get the God's Blood. Those who have insufficient God's Blood will have to obtain them before the news goes out. The price of the God's Blood might shoot up after that.

"Apart from those of you are present today, I'll get Tianfu to inform the rest of the demigods. However, I hope that you guys won't spread this news out before Dynasty does officially. If I find anyone spreading the news intentionally, I'll get Mr. Fu to sever the person's cultivation base and dispel the person from Dynasty. That will be the end of the person's relationship with Dynasty!"

Lin Huang glanced at everyone before speaking again, "The fifth thing is the circle that Dynasty has built with the Union Government.

"At the moment, the Union Government and Hunter Association are the leaders. The Mystic Butterfly is the fence-sitter while the heretics aren't powerful enough. I'm getting Misery to join for the balance of the circle and to impede the Union Government and Hunter Association. From now on, Misery will be our secret ally, but publicly, Dynasty isn't on the same side with them.

"As soon as Misery joins us, the development of the circle must slow down. We can't grow too fast. Dynasty's current priority is to deepen the collaboration with all major organizations so that the Union Government, the Hunter Association, and the Mystic Butterfly won't leave us. The circle will only be preliminarily stabilized when we've achieved that.

"Before the disaster condemns this gravel world, the Union Government will definitely want to lead this circle. There's no need for Dynasty to revolt their leadership. All we have to do is to win the same position as them. They can lead, but Dynasty must be included in the leadership. In other words, this is the main development direction for this circle for the next one to two years. We'll discuss the details further next time."

Lin Huang put a halt in the discussion of the circle and said no further for a few moments.

"The sixth thing is that I'll leave the gravel world for a while after I'm done with everything on my plate."

Everyone gawked at Lin Huang when he announced that.

"How long will you be gone?" Huang Tianfu asked immediately.

"A year at the moment. Of course, I hope that I can get back before the disaster befalls. Otherwise, it wouldn't make sense for me to return," Lin Huang said, "I'll give Tianfu a communication measure. If something really happens in the gravel world, contact me and I'll get back as soon as I can."

"But none of the people who left our world have ever returned," Huang Tufu muttered while frowning.

"The main reason is that they can't return to our world since they've elevated to true god-level," Lin Huang explained, "I'm only on imperial-level, so it's not difficult to return as long as I find the route. Even if I can't find the route myself, I can get Royal to help me. After all, I'm a rank-A Royalty."

The people were relieved when they heard Lin Huang. In reality, they were a little afraid that Dynasty would become ownerless again if Lin Huang died. Then, Royal would cut their resources off again.

"That's more or less what I've got to say today. I'll sort out the details in the next two days and send it to the three Grand Dukes. You guys can discuss it when they've studied the details and approved it."

Report chapter

After setting Dynasty's direction, Lin Huang delegated the rest to Bloody.

She spent less than half a day coming up with a series of plans. All of them contained detailed steps.

Lin Huang scanned through the plans Bloody came up with roughly and sent them to the three Grand Dukes.

On the second morning, Lin Huang visited Misery again.

While setting Misery's one-year development plan, he also discussed elevating demigods to Virtual Gods as well as getting them to join Dynasty's circle.

As Zhi Ji was a Virtual God rank-9 powerhouse himself, Lin Huang did not want to bother Mr. Fu, so he got Bloody to teach Zhi Ji the way to elevate demigods to Virtual Gods right away. He told him over and over again that it could only be used on Misery's internal members and had to be kept a secret. If anybody asked, they had to say that it was Mr. Fu of Dynasty who helped them achieve it.

When it came to converting a Virtual God's Godhead, Lin Huang also told them that they must inform him beforehand if they wanted to do so because the failure rate would be high if Zhi Ji were to do it himself.

Naturally, Misery was more than happy to join the circle. After all, cultivation resources were what Misery lacked the most. Apart from ruins and sites, they would be given access to all cultivation resources through trade as well. Furthermore, basically all the top-grade cultivation resources were monopolized by the major organizations. Very few of them were open to trading with other organizations. However, it would be a different case with the circle between Dynasty and the Union Government. All of the barriers caused by the monopoly would be broken down.

Figuring that he was leaving soon, Lin Huang even gave a part of Royal's authorization to Zhi Ji and Jie Wu, allowing Misery members the access to enter the trial zones.

Lin Huang mumbled to himself while holding his chin sitting on the throne in the Emperor's Palace when he returned to Emperor City, "I've basically arranged everything I need to for Misery and Dynasty. I'm almost done with all I need to handle before leaving the gravel world. Now, the only thing that's left for me to do is to visit the ruins where Qi Muxiong hid the Goldfinger."

Bloody, who was sitting aside and coming up with the one-year detailed plan for Misery, lifted her head and said to Lin Huang, "If I were you, I'd read through all the books in the libraries and archives in the major organizations. Also, I'll visit all the ruins and sites above grade-5 that are open to take as many resources as I can. I won't miss anything."

"These two ideas sound great!" Lin Huang's eyes lit up when he heard.

However, he soon frowned. "But I'm afraid it'll require a long time to read all the books in the libraries and archives even with the Epiphany Card."

At the moment, Xiao Hei, who had been quiet for a long time, spoke all of a sudden, "There's a card called the Memory Card that can store a sea of information. When the saving is done, it'll be integrated into your brain memory automatically."

"There's such an amazing item?" Lin Huang bought one and looked at it after hearing about the existence of the Memory Card.

"Memory Card

"Type of Card: Function Card

"Rarity: Grade-2

"Function: The card will save the content that the host wants to save as soon as it's activated.

"Remark 1: A Memory Card can only be used once no matter how much it contains.

"Remark 2: The user will only need to specify the content and the card will handle the rest as soon as it has been activated.

"Remark 3: When the Memory Card is done storing the memory, it will become a part of the user's memory automatically. The part of memory doesn't occupy the user's brain memory.

"Remark 4: The duration of memory saving depends on the volume. The more memory there is, the longer it takes to save. On the contrary, it will take a shorter time if there's a smaller volume."

"This card is great, but I wonder what's the saving speed like." Lin Huang put the card away and devised a plan.

He applied to visit the Central Library and the Central Archive from the Union Government immediately.

When he discussed collaboration with the Union Government while representing Dynasty earlier, he had obtained the highest reading access for a month. However, he still had to apply before he visited each time.

Such a procedure was not only applicable to Lin Huang but to everyone, including the chief of the Union Government, Jiang Shan. Even he would have to submit the application beforehand to access the highest reading authorization.

It could only be accessed by one person at a time. Therefore, the Central Library came up with an application system with the Union Government. Everyone would have to book their slot beforehand and the library would assign them access for the time slot booked. With this system, there would not be any conflict. Although very few people were given the access, the system indeed helped to avoid awkwardness when one entered but failed to be granted access.

The Central Library responded after three minutes Lin Huang submitted his applications.

"Dear Mr. Lin Huang, you applied to access the Central Library's highest reading authorization from 9 a.m. on the 5th of March to 9 a.m. on the 6th of March. The total duration will be 24 hours. The application has been approved. Please be at the Central Library at the booked slot.

"Dear Mr. Lin Huang, you applied to access the Central Archive's highest reading authorization from 9 a.m. on the 6th of March to 9 a.m. on the 7th of March. The total duration will be 24 hours. The application has been approved. Please be at the Central Library at the booked slot."

Lin Huang was elated to see both of his applications being approved.

On the next day, which was the 5th of March, he rushed to the First City after breakfast early in the morning.

He had a cup of coffee outside the Central Library. Only when it was 9 a.m., he stood up and headed to the library for the slot he booked.

The library was almost occupied early in the morning.

Lin Huang glanced through the first floor to find that most of the seats were taken. He walked passed the hall and headed straight to the elevator.

After scanning his ID on his Emperor's Heart Ring, the elevator took him to the highest floor of the Central Library, the ninth floor.

Lin Huang was a little puzzled when he arrived on this floor. He looked around.

Apart from a sealed container and a chair, there was nothing else.

Transparent liquid filled the transparent sealed container. There was a tissue the size of a basketball that looked like a human brain soaked in the liquid. Neither did it have tentacles, nor other extra appendages. It looked like an enlarged human brain floating quietly.

Meanwhile, the chair was placed approximately a meter before the sealed container.

The chair was ordinary. It was made of wood, and the pattern on the surface looked shiny from the collision. Clearly, someone else favored this seat.

Lin Huang looked around and sat on the chair while concluding that there was nothing else on this floor.

Just when he sat on the chair, the 'brain' in the container experienced a tremor all of a sudden. Constant bubbling frothed in the container.

A deep voice came into Lin Huang's ears at the same time. "What kind of information are you looking for?"

Stunned, Lin Huang realized that it should be the 'brain' in the container that had spoken. However, he soon snapped back to his senses.

"I don't have specific information that I'm looking for. I want to look at everything you have."

The 'brain' in the sealed container did not expect Lin Huang to say that. It went silent for a moment while a couple of bubbles rose in the transparent liquid.

Subsequently, the deep voice came again. "Interesting… You only have 24 hours."

"I know." Lin Huang smiled while nodding.

Almost at the same time, the container and the brain before Lin Huang disappeared. The walls around the entire floor turned into projected images. The same happened to the ceiling and the floor beneath his feet. There were up to ten thousands of images of all sizes.

Lin Huang glanced through the images and smirked. He crushed a Memory Card quietly.

As soon as the Memory Card was activated, the thousands of images began moving as if they had lost control.

Chapter 1198: Hunter Association's Appointment

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The Memory Card only took less than three hours to download everything in the Central Library.

In reality, Lin Huang had been cultivating Seamless with his eyes closed during the few hours. He only opened his eyes when the Memory Card had downloaded all of the information and become memories in his head.

It was not even 12 p.m. when he checked the time. It would not make sense for him to stay, so he stood up and left.

He ate something around the library and contacted the chief of the Union Government, Jiang Shan.

Jiang Shan was surprised to see that it was Lin Huang who called. He picked up anyway.

Lin Huang asked while smiling as soon as the video call was connected, "Master Chief, could you help me change the slot that I booked for the archive visit tomorrow to today instead?"

"Didn't you apply to visit the library today?" Jiang Shan asked with his brow raised. He knew that Lin Huang submitted the applications yesterday.

"I've found the stuff I was looking for at the library." Lin Huang came up with an excuse. "So, I thought I'd drop by the archive today instead of tomorrow."

"I'll speak to the people at the archive. I'll change the time slot for you if nobody is using it in the afternoon. However, you'll have to wait until tomorrow if somebody is using it in the afternoon." To Jiang Shan, such a favor was nothing as long as it did not interfere with the archive regulations. After all, amending the time slot at the last minute was permitted. "They'll inform you whether they can amend the time slot for you later."

"Thanks, Master Chief!" Just when Lin Huang was going to hang up, Jiang Shan stopped him.

"Emperor Lin, I happened to have something to discuss with you."

Lin Huang was stunned to hear that. The first thought that came into his mind was, 'Did someone expose that we've elevated demigods to Virtual Gods?"

However, his face remained calm. "Do tell, Master Chief."

"The Hunter Association spoke to me twice. They're looking into working with you guys. What they mainly want is access to the trial zones."

"Sure, we can discuss the time later," Lin Huang agreed to that right away.

In reality, he wanted to see if there was anything useful in the Hunter Association's library and archives.

After hanging up the call with Jiang Shan, the archive sent him a message in less than two minutes. The amendment of the time slot had been approved.

The time was amended from 1 p.m. on the 5th to 1 p.m. on the 6th.

To Lin Huang, the hours given were not important. As long as the information was downloaded by the Memory Card, he would no longer need to return to the library and archive in the future.

Lin Huang made it to the archive at 1 p.m.

In reality, it was a huge building that was similar to the library. He arrived on the ninth floor after scanning his Emperor's Heart Ring.

The setting was similar to the library. There was also a tissue that looked like a human brain floating in a transparent sealed container.

The difference was the color of the brain. The one in the library was light red while this one was sky blue.

Given his experience in the morning, Lin Huang got the blue brain to get him all the information that was available in the archive directly.

After crushing another Memory Card, it began to download the information automatically.

Meanwhile, Lin Huang closed his eyes and began cultivating Seamless in a relaxed manner. The second the Memory Card stopped downloading the information around two hours later, it became a part of Lin Huang's memory. He stood up and left right after he opened his eyes.

As he arrived at the entrance of the archive, Lin Huang summoned a dimensional portal and returned to Emperor City.

The first thing he did as soon as he arrived at the Emperor's Palace was to share everything in the two Memory Cards with Bloody.

With Bloody's computing skills, she spent over two hours digesting everything in the two Memory Cards.

"The information load is pretty huge," Bloody could not help but exclaim after she was done digesting all of the information.

"Is there anything useful?" Lin Huang asked immediately.

"Yes, quite a number of them. However, the real secrets should be sealed by the Union Government. For instance, there should be complete production drawings for weapons containing rule power. However, there's no such thing in the memory that you shared with me. Also, the item lists that were excavated from the ancient ruins are missing. There should be many secrets in them."

"It's normal for them to be sealing such information. After all, I'm just an outsider. It's impossible for the Union Government to reveal everything to me," Lin Huang, on the other hand, was understanding. "If I were Jiang Shan, I would seal that information and hide them from everyone else."

Bloody nodded and proceeded to speak, "There are quite a number of useful information too, especially in cultivation alone."

"There are 14 god-level sword skills that you can use and 37 pseudo-mythical-level sword skills. Including sword skills, there are a total of 63 god-level and 218 pseudo-mythical-level martial skills. There are also three divine skills and up to a hundred secret skills…"

As Lin Huang was talking to Bloody about the information that he obtained, a message came all of a sudden.

Lin Huang saw that it was Jiang Shan who had sent the message. He said that the Hunter Association had decided the time when they would visit Dynasty the next day.

In less than five minutes after Jiang Shan sent the message, Huang Tianfu informed Lin Huang that he had received the Hunter Association's appointment.

The Hunter Association even published the appointment on the Internet.

In reality, Lin Huang could understand why they did that. They were afraid that people might take photos of the Hunter Association's upper echelons visiting Dynasty, so they announced it instead.

The content of the appointment was simple. They were going to discuss a collaboration with Dynasty.

However, everyone on the Internet was discussing it despite the appointment having very vague content.

After being quiet for a few months, Dynasty was trending on No. 2 on the Internet again.

The Hunter Association was trending as No. 1 this time.

Everyone in the cultivation world was talking about this, and the Hunter Forum was the most crowded one.

Most people in the cultivation world had registered themselves as a hunter before even though they had never officially joined the Hunter Association. They could post on the Hunter Forum as long as they had their hunter's license.

The main topic on the Hunter Forum was what exactly Dynasty did the Hunter Association want to work with them on. What kind of collaboration were they looking into?

Meanwhile, in the black market forum, they were discussing what Dynasty had to be attracting the Union Government and the Hunter Association to work with them.

As the Internet was heated with discussion, the Hunter Association's upper echelons appeared in Emperor City in a high profile early in the morning on the 6th of March.

They walked into Dynasty's headquarters while many media representatives snapped pictures.

Lin Huang led the three Grand Dukes who had hidden their combat strength to welcome the people from the Hunter Association.

The discussion between both parties was considered smooth. They came up with the preliminary direction of the collaboration and project in the morning alone.

They then spent two days going through the details and signed the agreement eventually.

Bloody was observing and providing suggestions in the Emperor's Palace throughout the entire process.

Chapter 1199: This Inheritance of Yours is Fake

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Once again, the Hunter Association's collaboration with Dynasty stirred intense talk among many cultivators on the Heart Network.

Many organizations finally noticed Dynasty's odd behavior.

Dynasty collaborated with the Union Government, the heretics, the Mystic Butterfly, and now the Hunter Association. They almost covered half of the top organizations in the entire world.

The thought of such a line-up alone was terrifying.

The Union Government, the Hunter Association, and the Mystic Butterfly were the giants among the top organizations.

Although Dynasty was considered weak as a whole, it was also a giant among them. Moreover, Lin Huang had been developing it rapidly since the one year that he was appointed. Dynasty was considered a legit giant now.

The weakest one would be the heretics. Even though they were an organization with no discipline, they were still a top organization with two Virtual Gods and close to 20 demigods. No matter what, they would be the top five in the line-up with their overall abilities.

Such a majestic line-up could almost wipe out all the organizations in the entire gravel world if they were given access to each other's weapons.

Noticing Dynasty's odd behavior, many organizations had internal meetings to discuss whether they should join the parade.

Some even submitted their applications to the Union Government and Dynasty directly.

As the outside world was in a stir, Lin Huang visited the Hunter Association, the Mystic Butterfly, the heretics, and Misery with his personal identity.

He entered the four organizations' libraries and archives. He spent less than three days downloading all of the information with four Memory Cards.

On the third afternoon, Lin Huang's Emperor's Heart Ring vibrated all of a sudden when he returned to Emperor City and was downloading Dynasty's information.

He took a glance to see that it was Huang Tianfu calling. Usually, Huang Tianfu would not look for him if it was not something urgent.

Lin Huang picked up the video call request right away.

"What's up?"

"Shadow Killer has just contacted me. They want in." Huang Tianfu went straight to the point. "What's your opinion on that?"

Lin Huang thought about it for a moment and nodded. "It's actually fine. If Misery joins us, we'll have four out of five giants. Shadow Killer would've definitely wanted in as soon as they found out. I didn't expect them to be so quick to act."

"However, as soon as Shadow Killer joins us, there'll be two uncertainties — the Mystic Butterfly which was already an uncertainty, and now Shadow Killer." Huang Tianfu raised his concern.

"That's nothing to be worried about. It's impossible for Shadow Killer and the Mystic Butterfly to watch the Union Government take charge. They won't be supporting the Union Government. Instead, they're most likely to gang up. Also, they might collaborate with us. After all, we're a neutral organization. No matter whether it's the former or the latter, there are more advantages than disadvantages for us."

"Make an appointment then. Let's see what exactly Shadow Killer wants. Also, settle Misery's agreement as soon as you can to avoid any changes when Shadow Killer comes in," Lin Huang reminded.

"Misery has submitted their review. It's currently stuck on the Union Government and the Hunter Association's side. They didn't decline us directly, but neither did they agree to it," Huang Tianfu updated about the situation.

"We shouldn't interfere in this. Let Misery talk to them themselves." Lin Huang said that because Dynasty could not be too close to Misery on the surface.

"Oh yeah, how's the sorting out of the God's Blood going?" Lin Huang asked again.

"I've sorted it out according to the ranking of contribution points. However, it's almost enough whereby the last person lacks a few drops to complete the elevation. I've gotten him to look for it himself. Those who have received the God's Blood these two days have been elevating to perfect-stage demigod-level."

"That's great."

Lin Huang proceeded to cultivate Seamless after hanging up. The Memory Card downloading function was completely automatic. As long as Lin Huang did not pause the download, it would not be affected no matter what Lin Huang was doing. Naturally, it was not interrupted by the video call either.

When it was past five in the afternoon, he had finally downloaded everything available in Dynasty's library and archive.

He had dinner at Dynasty's canteen. After that, he returned to the Emperor's Palace and shared all of the downloaded memories with Bloody.

Lin Huang closed his eyes when Bloody was sorting out the information. He began reading Qi Muxiong's inherited memory.

When he elevated to imperial-level earlier, Qi Muxiong's inherited memory had been unsealed. However, he was too busy back then, so he only took a glance at it and put it aside.

Nevertheless, it was the unsealing of Qi Muxiong's memory that reminded Lin Huang that the Goldfinger Qi Muxiong possessed as a traveler just like him was sealed in a ruins.

"The location of the ruins…" Lin Huang browsed through the inherited memory rapidly to look for where the Goldfinger was sealed. Soon, he finally found where the ruins were. He was a little dumbstruck when he saw it. "It's in the virtual zone?!"

"So, Qi Muxiong went to the virtual zone and made it back alive?" With that doubt in mind, Lin Huang began sifting through Qi Muxiong's memories.

The virtual zone was the fourth layer of the Abyss Brink. It was also the most dangerous forbidden area in the entire world. Legend had it that none of the people who entered the virtual zone made it back to the gravel world alive.

However, many ancient documents that were left behind recorded that the virtual zone was a gateway leading to another world.

In reality, Lin Huang was planning to leave the gravel world via the virtual zone.

One of the reasons why he believed that the virtual zone was a gateway was due to such records in many ancient books. Another reason was that there was a similar record in Wu Mo's inherited memories.

Another reason was that he obtained a description of such a gateway in those members' memories from the great world when he was in the Royal Trials.

All of the mini-worlds and gravel worlds with incomplete rules were the broken pieces in the central continent of the great world at a certain time or space. They were connected to the great world's central continent when they were created. Such connections made at least an invisible spatial gateway between the central continent and those gravel worlds as well as the mini-worlds. As long as the gravel worlds and mini worlds did not die, the spatial gateway connecting the central continents would be open forever.

Lin Huang also obtained the gateway's characteristics from those memories. To put it simply, there was no turning back. The reason was that such a dimensional gateway only worked one-way. In reality, it was a natural protection setting to prevent the powerhouses from the great world from stealing and enslaving the mini worlds and gravel worlds.

However, Lin Huang found nothing about the virtual zone after spending a couple of hours looking through Qi Muxiong's memories.

Filled with skepticism, Lin Huang shared that part of the memory with Bloody. He wanted her help to see what exactly the problem was.

Bloody spent half an hour scanning through the inheritance. She gave an answer that Lin Huang never expected. "This inherited memory is incomplete. To be exact, apart from this inheritance being real, much of the content in the memory was made by a powerful spiritual technique. A complete story was made up of facts and lies."

Chapter 1200: Killing All of The Virtual God-level Monsters in Your Ruins!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"It's made up?!" Lin Huang was shocked. Excluding the part of the memories which was only unsealed when he elevated to imperial-level, he had looked through the memories at least ten times when he was cultivating Seamless earlier. He had never noticed anything wrong.

"Don't you think apart from cultivation and battles, this memory of his seems to be acted out from a script? The people that he met during his daily life are like non-player characters in games. Even what they say is almost the same every time they meet, don't you think?"

"Daily life?" Lin Huang looked at it immediately.

He usually skipped those parts whenever he looked through the memories. Apart from scanning through it roughly the first time, he basically skipped it every time after that. As expected, he soon noticed that something was off after Bloody reminded him about it.

"Indeed, these people sounded weird and they behaved strangely too. I didn't notice anything from that single conversation, but everyone seems to be customized from the same set of a model after watching more of them.

"Moreover, in his daily life, many of those people who have zero interaction with him and those buildings, as well as the trees around him, were blurred out. Usually, we retrieve the most original memories when we read someone's memory. As long as we don't zoom in, everything he saw should be clear and detailed. Even if he forgot something, his original memory should be clear as a movie film.

"Also, he made many details up intentionally. He even used some real footage and combined them with the made-up stories. He thought people couldn't tell since it's a combination of real and fake stuff. However, the real portion of the memory had tens of times of information in almost every frame compared to the made-up memories. It causes the made-up memories to be extra crude compared to those details that are usually ignored with the naked eye." Bloody pointed out each issue one after another.

"I've cast parasites on up to a hundred millions of brains and read countless minds. Those amended memories and messed up memories due to some pathological causes in the brain… I can tell them apart easily. Although Qi Muxiong's inherited memory was made by a powerful technique, the effect is too crude. It gives me a feeling that it was made up simply without even trying to hide it."

"So, what's the reason for him to do that? If the inheritance is real, why make up the memory?" Lin Huang could not understand it.

"Nobody knows." Bloody shook her head. "Maybe there were too many embarrassing incidents in his original memory and he's afraid of being humiliated by his descendants. Maybe that's why he made up a fake memory to hide it. Or perhaps there are secrets in his memory that he doesn't want people to know."

She came up with two possible speculations. Lin Huang shook his head to shake off the thought since he could not figure out the answer.

"Forget it. Let's not think about it. Since Qi Muxiong's ruins is in the virtual zone, we'll explore when we go by then. We might retrieve the answer when we get there. Even if we don't, the effort won't be wasted if we get his Goldfinger."

Since Qi Muxiong's ruin was in the virtual zone, Lin Huang would not have to make two trips. The only thing left to do would be to look for loot in other ruins and sites.

In the entire gravel world, there were a total of 13 grade-6 ruins and sites with virtual god-level treasures and there were only four ruins and sites with true god-level treasures.

Lin Huang checked through Zhuge Feifan's memory. These 17 ruins and sites were not opened recently. However, there were three grade-6 ruins that were opened all the time. They belonged to the Union Government, the Hunter Association, and Shadow Killer relatively.

"I can only explore Shadow Killer's ruins when they join the circle. I'll explore the two grade-6 ruins under the Union Government and the Hunter Association's jurisdiction these few days."

Lin Huang submitted his application to the Union Government and the Hunter Association as he thought about this point. He just realized that it was almost midnight when he was done submitting the application.

The next morning, Lin Huang woke up early. He washed up and began to practice his sword skills.

He had boosted his telekinetic threads to more than 60,000 threads from cultivating Seamless the past few days. Now, he had arrived at the peak of his current combat strength.

Since he would not have more telekinetic threads from cultivating Seamless any further, he switched to practicing his sword skills. He happened to have downloaded information from so many organizations these past few days and obtained many sword skills.

Jiang Shan from the Union Government responded when it was almost 9.30 a.m. His application was approved. Some ten minutes later, the Hunter Association also approved his application.

Seeing that it was still early, Lin Huang summoned his dimensional portal without hesitation and headed straight to the First City.

The person who was responsible for welcoming him was still the person he was familiar with, Guan Zhong.

"Master Emperor, it's been a while." Guan Zhong smiled lightly.

"Chief? Why are you here?" To be honest, Lin Huang was a little surprised. Although he held a high position whereby it made sense for the Union Government to send Guan Zhong to welcome him, the thing was that it was not an official visit. It would be alright for them to get anyone to send him to the entrance of the ruins. There was no need for them to send the chief of the Agency EA to serve him.

"I was given the responsibility when I was speaking to the chief this morning." Guan Zhong spread his arms wide.

"You sound like you're reluctant," Lin Huang teased with a grin.

"Definitely not. I agreed to do it with all the willingness in my heart," Guan Zhong said while smiling, "I was excited when I heard that I'm serving you, Master Emperor."

'What an exaggeration…' Lin Huang was speechless.

"In reality, I've got nothing much to do in the past two days, so I thought I'd volunteer myself to give a good impression," Guan Zhong explained further.

"Alright then, let's not beat around the bush. Let's get to business." Lin Huang did not bother to dwell on that topic with Guan Zhong.

Guan Zhong nodded and summoned a dimensional portal directly. He opened the door and gestured for Lin Huang to go in first. Then, he went in after him.

A moment later, Lin Huang realized he was clearly no longer in the First City when he stepped out of the dimensional portal.

There were mountains after mountains all around him as he gaped around him. Moreover, there was snow beneath his feet. It was obviously not spring in the First City.

"Where is this?" Lin Huang could not help but ask as he looked around.

"A forbidden area that's unpopular," Guan Zhong answered. However, he added, figuring that his response was a little too perfunctory, "As this place is a little secluded, not many people know about it. Therefore, there's no official name for this place. If you must give it a name, the people living in the foothold close to this mountain call it the Crouching Dragon."

"Crouching Dragon…" The name reminded Lin Huang of Sir Tang in a TV drama.

"Is there anything that you're looking for, going into a grade-6 ruin alone, Master Emperor?" Guan Zhong asked while pretending to be casual.

"I'm not looking for anything. I just thought I would take a stroll in ruins that I've never been to before leaving the gravel world," Lin Huang said while smiling. In reality, he did not finish what he was saying. 'And I thought of killing all of the virtual god-level monsters in your ruins!'

Chapter 1201: Blasphemy Dragonpede

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The grade-6 ruin under the Union Government's jurisdiction was called the Demon Swamp. It had many abyss creatures and demons. It was said that the total number of monsters exceeded those in the usual grade-6 ruins.

Moreover, through the exploration before, it was known that there were at least 20 virtual god-level monsters in this ruin.

That was the reason why Lin Huang chose to go there first.

"The volcano beneath us is the entrance. It's approximately 1,000 meters beneath the spiritual lava," Guan Zhong said while smiling pointing at the volcano ahead. "Although this ruin is open all year round, almost nobody below imperial-level can get to the entrance."

Lin Huang sensed the intensity of the spirit beneath and nodded. "This spiritual volcano's spirit intensity is above an imperial-level powerhouse's Life Power. With the pressure coming from the depth of 1,000 meters, indeed, it blocks all cultivators below imperial-level from going in."

He looked around and finally found out why the mountain was called the Crouching Dragon. "No wonder this mountain is called the Crouching Dragon. The connected mountain range resembles a winding giant dragon. If I'm not mistaken, we're standing on the dragon's head. Am I right?"

"That's right," Guan Zhong agreed with a smile.

"If this is the dragon's head, then what's that volcano?" Lin Huang asked while pointing at the spiritual volcano beneath them.

"People living nearby call it the dragon jewel."

"They're pretty creative." Lin Huang raised an eyebrow.

He thought the scenery was beautiful as he stood tall at the top of the dragon's head. He snapped a few pictures and said to Guan Zhong calmly, "I'll go down then. Thanks for your service."

"Sure."

Lin Huang leaped and allowed his body to freefall. He only adjusted his direction slightly just before falling into the crater. He summoned a pitch-black god relic battle armor as he entered the crater while his body was engulfed in dust.

A maroon layer of defense emerged on the surface of the battle armor as he inserted his Divine Power into it.

He plunged straight into the boiling lava just when the defense layer appeared.

Heat throbbed from all directions all of a sudden. Even with the Divine Power blocking it out, the spiritual lava made one uncomfortable.

Lin Huang was plummeting rapidly. He scanned the area with his Divine Telekinesis at the same time and soon found where the entrance was.

Guan Zhong, who was standing on top of the dragon's head outside of volcano, watched Lin Huang fall into the crater. He then summoned a dimensional portal and stepped into it.

As he passed through the entrance of the ruin, Lin Huang got a rough idea of the ruin before he landed.

The sky was dark blue, and it looked like night had just fallen. Dusk covered the wilderness.

Lin Huang did not even see a single monster in his field of vision.

However, he could not help but grin as he widened his range of Divine Telekinesis.

"How careless…"

There was no other reason for him to smile so gleefully other than that there were actually monsters around him as he scanned the area with his Divine Telekinesis. There were monsters called Predator Plants disguised as weeds spreading across the wilderness. There were at least tens of thousands of them.

Nonetheless, with his naked eye, Lin Huang did not see any.

Apart from that, there were a couple of Carrion Maggots hiding underground.

The Carrion Maggot was at least ten meters long. Their bodies were as poisonous as pure venom. Although they loved eating rotten meat, they would make an effort to get onto the ground to hunt on their own sometimes.

Although the Predator Plant was an immortal-level monster, the couple of Carrion Maggots underground had imperial-level combat strength.

An imperial-level powerhouse might be at risk if he were to enter such a place without any preparation.

Noticing the existence of the two types of monsters, Lin Huang stopped descending. He summoned Bloody calmly while hovering mid-air.

In her red dress, Bloody sensed the existence of the Predator Plants and Carrion Maggots as soon as she was summoned. "Let's cast parasites on a few of them. See if there's anything useful in their memories about this ruin."

To be honest, Bloody was unwilling to cast her parasite on monsters that had poor combat strength and low grade. However, she did it without hesitation since the order came from Lin Huang.

A few invisible Leech Pods flew out and soon penetrated the few Predator Plants and Carrion Maggots' bodies.

Currently, she had Virtual God rank-2 combat strength. Almost no living thing below Virtual God rank-2 could sense the existence of her Leech Pods. The parasitization on the few local monsters was completed smoothly.

Almost the moment when the Leech Pods penetrated their bodies, the information in those monsters' heads were sent to Bloody.

Bloody spent less than a second sorting that information out.

"This is the south of the ruin. There should be a virtual god-level monster around 8,000 kilometers towards the north. They've no idea about the exact information of that virtual god-level monster. However, I have a rough idea about the exact route following the terrains and distribution of monsters."

"Then, let's head over there. There's no need to waste time using our feet," Lin Huang suggested and summoned Thunder.

Thunder, which had elevated to quadruple mutated mythical-level, had undergone a change of form again. Its feathers were now deep indigo with patches of beautiful golden patterns on them. Its pupils were golden purple. Its body was much more muscular than before, but it did not look bulky at all. Instead, it appeared as elegant as before but was more overbearing now.

Lin Huang leaped onto Thunder's back with Bloody and patted it.

"Follow Bloody's instructions."

Thunder flapped its wings and flew into the sky like a bolt of purple lightning. The entire sky echoed with thunder.

As the purple lightning soared into the sky, Thunder deviated and flew straight towards the north.

Within a minute, they arrived at their destination on Thunder's back.

Lin Huang only sensed the virtual god-level monster with his Divine Telekinesis when he was close.

It was an evil spirit-type monster from the abyss called the Blasphemy Dragonpede. Lin Huang had read about such a monster in the Union Government's archives.

The monster was a dark purple giant centipede. With its two pitch-black wings, it was thousands of meters long.

Its favorite food was dragonkin's babies and sky dragons with dragonkin's bloodline. Moreover, such a monster was deadly. It could poison almost all the monsters on the same combat strength.

Lin Huang also sensed that the monster was only on Virtual God rank-2, which was the same with Bloody and the rest.

While he was going to summon Lancelot to fight it, he never expected Thunder to attack the monster that occupied the swamp as soon as it noticed the monster. It did not even wait for Lin Huang's order.

Chapter 1202: Thunder Vs Blasphemy Dragonpede

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Black mist curled around the Blasphemy Dragonpede. It lifted its upper body from the swamp when it sensed Thunder's aura from far away. Its hundred legs were dancing with its straighten body, appearing very terrifying.

Seeing Thunder approaching its direction, the Dragonpede shrieked in rage. Underneath, Thunder responded in kind. However, its reply was even more determined.

It flapped both of its wings. The dusky sky was filled with dark clouds that covered the entire sky.

As purple lightning bolts lit up around its body, more lightning sparkled in the clouds above.

Screech!

The lightning bolts around Thunder's body charged when it shrieked for the second time. Countless purple beams of light accumulated between the gaps in its feathers. They turned into thousands of lightning bolts and shot out like a pouring lightning waterfall.

At the same time, the dark clouds in the sky had purple lightning sparkling within them. The lightning rained down like a storm, and soon integrated with the lightning bolts that rained out from Thunder.

Endless purple lightning bolts drowned the gigantic Blasphemy Dragonpede.

However, a shriek emerged from the lightning bolts a moment later. The shriek sounded similar to a dragonkin's shriek, but it was even sharper. There was a ripping sound that sounded more evil and brutal.

Before the shriek ended, a gigantic silhouette flew out of the lightning bolts.

At that moment, the silhouette was at the same height as Thunder. Upon closer inspection, it was the Blasphemy Dragonpede.

It flapped its wings and hovered into the sky. There were faint purple lightning bolts lingering on its dark purple shell. However, the lightning bolts did not seem to affect its movement at all.

Lin Huang also noticed there seemed to be zero wounds on its body. "Hmm, it seems like the attack doesn't work on it."

"It makes sense. A monster such as the Blasphemy Dragonpede has powerful defenses. Furthermore, there's dragonkin bloodline in its body. It has immense immunity to elemental attacks," Bloody explained, "However, Thunder didn't give it its all earlier. It was just attacking it in a testing manner."

Lin Huang nodded. In reality, he could tell that Thunder indeed had not given its all. It was just a test attack. On a certain level, it was using a ranged attack to trigger the Blasphemy Dragonpede.

"Thunder seems to be a little excited to be encountering it, doesn't it?"

"Birds are the natural enemy of snakes and worms, so this is their instinct," Bloody explained further, "It's normal for Thunder to behave like water meeting fire when it encounters such a venomous centipede."

"I see." Lin Huang had always thought that monsters would lose their original instincts when they elevated. He even thought the instinct would go away entirely. Never had he thought that its animal instinct would still be there when Thunder elevated to mythical-level. The hatred between birds and worms did not disappear at all.

Within the short few seconds that Lin Huang and Bloody chatted, Thunder had collided with the Blasphemy Dragonpede a few times.

Although the Blasphemy Dragonpede was powerful, no matter whether it was the natural suppression that Thunder was born with or its low grade, it lost to the latter in all aspects.

Wounds started forming on its body as a result of the few collisions.

Thunder finally stopped testing its foe after gaining a rough understanding of its opponent's ability.

The lightning bolts on its body had now turned golden.

The tiny golden lights under its feathers accumulated into lightning bolts. They then covered the Blasphemy Dragonpede like a web.

The Blasphemy Dragonpede flapped its wings in an attempt to flee. However, it could not overcome the lightning bolts and drowned in it.

This time, black char marks appeared on its shell whenever the golden lightning hit its body. It groaned from the pain.

"Thunder is winning the battle like a piece of cake. Should we catch it alive?" Lin Huang raised his brow when he saw what was happening.

All the while, he was sitting on Thunder's back with Bloody. Although Thunder knew that both of them would be fine even if they got hit by the impact of the battle, it had been protecting them throughout the battle.

"This Blasphemy Dragonpede is born less powerful than Thunder. The fact that it's only triple and a half mutated, it's incomparable with a complete quadruple mutated monster. Moreover, Thunder has a double bloodline of the Thunder Lord and the Storm Phoenix, so it can kill many Virtual God rank-3 monsters." Bloody was not surprised by the outcome of the battle.

Just when she said that, the golden lightning web contracted rapidly. The Blasphemy Dragonpede shrunk together with the web, and Thunder grabbed its head with its claws. Consequently, the Blasphemy Dragonpede totally lost its ability to fight back.

Lin Huang and Bloody leaped from Thunder's back then.

Although it had shrunk substantially, the Blasphemy Dragonpede's head was much bigger than Lin Huang's body.

It glared dangerously at Lin Huang and Bloody with its four bloody eyes. If not for its head that was being squeezed by Thunder, it might have spat toxin to attack the duo standing before it.

However, Lin Huang was fearless as he faced this monster. Even if he did not have Thunder and Bloody next to him, he could fight a Virtual God rank-3 with his current ability. The giant centipede before him only had Virtual God rank-2 combat strength.

On the other hand, Bloody took a step forward directly and pressed her hand against the Blasphemy Dragonpede's head. She was not afraid of the toxin on its body.

Her parasitization was completed within three seconds.

Later on, she spent approximately half a minute reading and sorting out its memories. She then turned around and walked to Lin Huang to share the sorted memories with him.

Lin Huang closed his eyes and took some time to digest it. Then, he opened his eyes again.

"Including this one, there are a total of 23 virtual god-level monsters in this ruin. Most of them are on Virtual God rank-1 to rank-3, and only two of them are on Virtual God rank-4. There are no man-made buildings in the entire ruin, which means we don't have to waste time looking for human remnants and search for treasures."

Lin Huang thought the plan was pretty reliable, whereby he could rest after killing the monsters and wait for the ruin to reset itself.

"There isn't much useful information in this centipede's head." Bloody was dissatisfied with the giant centipede's memories. She suggested after Lin Huang mentioned waiting for the ruins to reset, "According to the Union Government records, the interval to reset the ruin is pretty long. Even if we kill many monsters, it'll take more than 72 hour for each reset. I think it's unnecessary for us to wait for it to reset."

"I think so too," Lin Huang agreed. "With Thunder's speed, I think we'll only take an hour and a half at the most to kill all 23 virtual god-level monsters. After we're done with the first batch of virtual god-level monsters, we'll do it again when it resets at midnight. We can leave right after that, so we don't have to wait for it to reset for the second time. The second reset will take three days. I can kill the monsters in the other two ruins in that time."

"Do we take its Godhead?" Bloody turned her head to look at the Blasphemy Dragonpede.

"There's no need. You can make the Virtual God rank-1 and rank-2 monsters your puppets." Lin Huang shook his head. "Now that I'm on imperial-level, the effect of Virtual God rank-1 and rank-2 Godheads is dropping. I'd rather make the best of it."

Bloody nodded and said nothing more. She then put the Blasphemy Dragonpede away into her God Territory.

Lin Huang spread his Divine Telekinesis out and searched for loot around the swamp where the Blasphemy Dragonpede lived. He then hopped onto Thunder's back.

"Let's go to our two o'clock about 12,000 kilometers away."

Thunder flapped its wings before Lin Huang could even finish speaking. It flew through the sky like a flash of purple lightning.

The dark clouds in the sky only faded slowly a long time after Thunder left.

Chapter 1203: Rotten Heart

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Time flew by, and almost an hour had passed.

Lin Huang only managed to kill half of the 23 virtual god-level monsters. His efficiency was much lower than he expected.

In reality, apart from the Blasphemy Dragonpede they first encountered, Lin Huang did not get Thunder to fight those Virtual God rank-1 and rank-2 monsters. He got Bloody to cast parasites on them and put them away in her God Territory. Among the Virtual God rank-3 monsters, he summoned Lancelot, the Evil Dominator, Killer, Kylie, and the rest of his battle imperial monsters to practice.

Although he saved ample time by putting the Virtual God rank-1 and rank-2 monsters away, the time Lancelot and the rest took to practice was much longer than Lin Huang expected initially.

He thought he would only need one and a half hours to kill all 23 monsters. Unfortunately, after an hour had passed, he had only killed 12 monsters.

"The next one is a Virtual God rank-4 monster. I'm afraid Lancelot and the rest…" Bloody reminded just when Thunder flapped its wings and flew off.

"Lancelot and the rest aren't a match for it." Lin Huang knew his imperial monsters' abilities very well. "So, Bai will fight next."

He was very curious about how much of Bai's ability had increased since it elevated to pseudo-supreme god-level.

Thunder only took a minute to travel across ten thousand kilometers.

Lin Huang and the rest sensed their next target from far away. It was the Rotten Heart.

The Rotten Heart was an evil spirit-type monster with a unique form.

The monster truly looked exactly like its name. It appeared like a gigantic heart that was festering. It was dark with pus all over it. Dark purple veins bulged and throbbed, making it look even more terrifying. It had no eyes, mouth or ears.

It sensed its surroundings through the sonic coming from pumping its own body. In reality, it was similar to a bat.

Standing on Thunder's back, Lin Huang gazed down at the Rotten Heart from far away. As expected, it was the same as recorded in the Union Government's archives.

However, the Rotten Heart also noticed Thunder's existence whilst Lin Huang was observing it from far away. Instinctively, it attacked Thunder from a distance.

A black ray shot out like a lightning bolt, going after Thunder.

Thunder flapped its wings and barely dodged the assault. It never thought the second and third black rays would shoot out consecutively.

As Thunder was busy evading the attacks, Lin Huang inspected the black rays closely and realized they came from the black threads that stemmed from the body of the Rotten Heart. It was similar to the Vampire Particles Bai used to have, but the method of using it was different.

Initially, Lin Huang planned to summon Bai to fight when they got closer.

However, now that the opponent had initiated the attack, he could only summon Bai directly.

In its black robe, Bai nodded at Lin Huang as soon as it was summoned. It soon fixed its eyes on the Rotten Heart.

Although it was only on Virtual God rank-2, Bai was fearless when it glared at the Rotten Heart that was on Virtual God rank-4. Instead, its will to fight ignited.

As its black robe fluttered in the wind, the bloody patterns on the robe lit up like lava. They were flowing like they were alive.

A bloody crystal the size of a thumb extended out from between Bai's brows. His black pupils turned bloody red at that moment.

A layer of bloody mist began lingering around his body and covering him entirely.

Bai hovered mid-air and shot a deadly glare at the Rotten Heart with its bloody eyes. The bloody mist around its body began solidifying into bloody tentacles without it doing anything.

The hundred bloody tentacles expanded before Bai rapidly. They turned into bloody whips that tore through the black threads from the Rotten Heart and snapped them mercilessly.

Bai's Almighty Vampire Particles were clearly a level higher than the opponent's technique.

However, that was not the end of it. After blocking the attack, the bloody tentacles proceeded to charge in a frenzy towards the Rotten Heart.

Beneath, the Rotten Heart did not dodge the attack. Instead, it began pumping intensely like a beating heart at a frequency that only increased with time.

Lin Huang, who was watching the battle aside, soon noticed that circles of energy waves radiated from its pumping. Furthermore, the energy waves were getting denser and more powerful.

Almost when the bloody tentacles were ten meters before the Rotten Heart, it had reached its peak whereby the circles of energy waves spread hundreds of times faster than the speed of sound.

The bloody tentacles seemed to drown in mud as they slowed down. They could no longer go any further when they arrived around five meters before the Rotten Heart.

Bai frowned slightly when it saw that. It extended an arm from a distance and held its stance steady.

The tentacles seemed to have received an order as they stopped fighting on their own and began integrating quickly. Approximately one to two seconds later, the hundred tentacles became one.

Bai smirked and transformed the integrated tentacle into a giant drill immediately. It began working right away.

Lin Huang was stunned to see that. He subsequently chuckled out loud. "No wonder the skill evolved into the Almighty Vampire Particles after he elevated."

The drill began spinning quickly as soon as it was formed. It then proceeded to approach the Rotten Heart.

Although the beating waves from the Rotten Heart were powerful, it could not stop the drill from advancing further.

A couple of thick, black tentacles flew out of the Rotten Heart's body all of a sudden as the drill was about to penetrate its body.

The black tentacles bonded with the drill Bai created.

A moment later, Bai's attack was eventually blocked. However, it had reached its goal.

The bloody mist around it began transforming into bloody flying daggers.

One after another, the flying daggers flew at an alarming speed. They were going after the Rotten Heart.

Lin Huang noticed that Bai's attack was actually similar to his telekinetic attack, but the telekinetic threads were turned into Almighty Vampire Particles. Flying daggers were neither god relics nor demigod relics, but they were consolidated by the Almighty Vampire Particles automatically.

After breaking through the defense made of energy waves, Bai used a flying dagger attack immediately. He wanted to harm his opponent effectively before the Rotten Heart even managed to react.

However, the Rotten Heart reacted as soon as it happened. The black threads soon changed into a dense web.

The flying daggers were like insects stuck on a spider web when they collided with it. They could not get free.

Bai did not have any concerns on its face when its attack failed again. Instead, its will to fight was getting more and more intense.

Bai snapped its fingers after recalling the flying daggers and drill made of the bloody mist. The bloody mist around it transformed once again as it snapped its fingers. Soon, they turned into tentacles of sharp sabers.

On the other hand, the Rotten Heart dared not hold back at all. A mass of black threads began coming out of its body. They then merged into black tentacles of various weapons.

Chapter 1204: Body Severed By Tide of Boa

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In the air, the black and red tentacles turned into various weapons and collided. Each collision was comparable with a Virtual God rank-4 powerhouse's full-force attack.

The collisions of the black and red Divine Power created deafening explosions consecutively. Thunder roared continuously as if there was a furious storm.

The impact coming from the collisions of two types of Divine Power alone spread thousands of kilometers away. Almost everything turned into dust wherever the impact passed by. The ground collapsed, and rivers and lakes dried up. Even the clouds in the sky were chased away. Almost all the holy fire-level to imperial-level monsters died.

A vacuum was formed as a result of the strong collisions. Circles of waves formed in the sky and spread tens of thousands of kilometers away.

The trees in the ruins were broken by strong winds. Many other plants were even uprooted. Dark clouds filled the sky and the ground cracked. It looked like doomsday had come.

The level of battle even surpassed Lin Huang's personal abilities.

Lin Huang, who was situated in the middle of the battlefield, had to carry a Mirror (the elevated Dark Mirror since Lancelot had elevated to mythical-level) to block the impact of the Divine Power.

He involved himself in the battle quietly. However, he realized that he would only be beaten no matter what. Putting the rest aside, he would be completely crushed in terms of speed alone.

He could only catch the shadows of the duo's attacks. Unfortunately, his body could not react in time at all.

The duo's intense attacks lasted for over ten minutes. Apart from Lin Huang, Bloody, and Thunder who were still alive, everything around was pulverized into dust.

The main reason why they could watch the battle in such a relaxed manner without being affected was the powerful defense coming from the Mirror.

In the middle of the battlefield, although the Rotten Heart had been suppressed, it persisted with its stubborn defense and had yet to lose.

Bai frowned slightly upon seeing that it could not defeat it.

He had consolidated up to 1,000 tentacles from the Almighty Vampire Particles. However, the black threads were crawling out of the opponent's body too. They were no fewer than his.

Although the opponent's black threads were much weaker than his Almighty Vampire Particles whereby they would be broken again and again, they recovered continuously.

Lin Huang realized Bai's problem as he watched the battle.

Perhaps because it was its first battle ever since he elevated to pseudo-supreme god-level, Bai was eager to prove its improvement by winning the battle. However, it encountered a cunning opponent this time. It seemed to have noticed Bai's eagerness and slowed the battle rhythm down on purpose. As a result, the battle stagnated.

Just when Lin Huang was going to remind him, Bloody spoke through voice transmission before he could say anything, "Bai, don't let it drag the battle rhythm out. Your overall ability is much more powerful than its own, but it's limited. It's very hard to oppress it entirely. All you'll have to do is to kill it in this battle. Don't try to win it perfectly. The more distracting thoughts you have, the more disadvantages there are for you in this battle. Don't think about anything else now. Just think of how to kill it in the fastest way."

Bai was stunned when it heard what Bloody said. It then noticed its problem subsequently. It shook its thoughts off immediately and stopped thinking of ways to defeat it perfectly.

Its attack soon became precise after that. It stopped colliding with the opponent's black threads. Instead, each attack went after the opponent's body.

The Rotten Heart began showing its weakness and become clumsy as soon as Bai changed its battle rhythm.

Lin Huang peeked at Bloody next to him after seeing Bai's changes.

Although he did not hear what Bloody said to Bai, he figured that she must have pointed something out for it.

There were more and more wounds on the Rotten Heart's body.

However, a black liquid would flow out whenever there was a wound on its body. The wound would then recover right away.

Bai had no concern with that. It knew that such a technique of its opponent would be draining.

Some ten minutes later, the healing on the Rotten Heart's wounds began to slow down. Even the black tentacles were weaker than before.

Bai sped up his attack frequency after noticing that.

The wounds on the Rotten Heart's body that was already clumsy increased all of a sudden. Its body was pumping rapidly. Although it had strengthened the black tentacles' defense, the draining of Divine Power was clearly more now.

Bai was calm because it had completely mastered the battle rhythm.

Realizing that it was now on the losing end, the Rotten Heart's pumping began to speed up. It was beating faster each second than before.

The rotten parts in the black heart began cracking.

At the same time that the black juice was spilling, there would be thick rotten tentacles coming out of it. The hundred rotten tentacles were completely different from the appearance of the black fluid earlier. They were more like the real stuff made of flesh and blood.

As the rotten tentacles grew, there was an intense noxious stench lingering in the air. Lin Huang felt dizzy after merely inhaling a little bit of the air. He shut his breathing system immediately and shouted at the rest at the same time, "Stop breathing. Its tentacles are toxic!"

A black silhouette came as soon as Lin Huang spoke. Thunder was the first to react. It flapped its wings slightly and dodged the black silhouette.

Lin Huang had just realized that the black silhouette that came earlier was a rotten tentacle coming from the Rotten Heart. It was attacking Lin Huang and Thunder.

Bai was enraged to see the Rotten Heart attacking.

"You're seeking death!" Two red glows shot out of Bai's eyes whilst endless bloody mist curled out of his body. They turned into ferocious bloody boas one after another. Tens of thousands of gigantic bloody boas were going after the Rotten Heart like a tide.

The Rotten Heart did not yield. Up to a hundred black rotten tentacles charged at the tide of the boa.

The bloody boas tore the rotten tentacles one after another. However, the bloody boas would be dyed black as soon as they touched the black liquid that shot out of the tentacles.

Lin Huang was frowning a little as he watched the whole scenario.

"Can the toxic even infect pure energy?!"

Five to six minutes later, the bloody boas tore up to a hundred rotten tentacles into pieces. However, almost half of the 10,000 boas were infected by the black toxin.

Nevertheless, Bai did not plan to stop fighting at all. It proceeded to control the giant boas to attack the Rotten Heart. They were tearing it apart.

In the beginning, the Rotten Heart would strive to recover itself. It even attempted to defend by extending its black tentacles. However, the bloody boas would bite them off each time it extended its tentacles.

After attempting it for some 20 times, it finally realized that there was no way for it to turn the tables around at all.

The Divine Power in its body had been drained, so its flesh could no longer recover. It could only watch its body being torn apart by the giant boas surrounding it, eating it alive.

In reality, it did not last long since its Divine Power was drained. Approximately five to six seconds later, it was devoured by the bloody boas one after another. A black Godhead hovering in the air was the only thing left behind.

Chapter 1205: The Galactic Hive's First Show

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Bai fled the battle in the air. The bloody patterns on his black robe seemed to be dormant again. Not only had they stopped flowing, but even the color was also dimmer. The lava-like color was now bright red as if it was painted on a picture.

The bloody crystal on his forehead penetrated his body automatically. His pupils that were bloody red became black and bright again.

Just when Bai was ready to recall the mist that was almost black, Lin Huang called out to him, "These participles have been infected. Will it be okay if you recall them?"

"Don't worry. I got them infected on purpose." Bai nodded and explained calmly, "In reality, this Rotten Heart has the same nature as my ability, which is the Blood Bond. However, his Blood Bond is special whereby it's a cursed virus. It's very suitable for battle. I got my Almighty Vampire Particles infected on purpose to engulf its cursed virus to obtain a new Blood Bond technique."

"Are you sure about this?" Lin Huang was still worried. It was not that he had no trust in Bai's ability, but the black rotten tentacles seemed like bad news no matter what. It might pose a problem if Bai were reckless.

"Let me show you." Bai knew the reason why Lin Huang was worried. Instead of explaining it with words, he demonstrated it directly.

He created a cloud the size of a fist from the black mist and another cloud the size of a thumb from the red mist. He placed both of them in a transparent, sealed energy bubble.

In the bubble, the red mist attacked the black mist as soon as they touched. It engulfed the black mist mercilessly. The same unit of red mist was produced whenever each inch of the black mist was engulfed.

The black mist attempted to extend its tentacles to infect the red mist a few times but its attempt was to no avail. The red mist would consume and convert the black mist each time it extended its tentacles.

Within ten seconds, the black mist was completely destroyed. The Almighty Vampire Particles were the only thing left in the entire sealed bubble.

"I didn't do anything throughout the entire process. I allowed them to do that," Bai said while smiling at Lin Huang after popping the bubble with its finger. "My Almighty Vampire Particles usually won't be affected by such a virus because my Blood Bond grade is higher than the Rotten Heart. Its virus is just food to my Almighty Vampire Particles. The reason why they were infected was that I removed the defense on purpose, allowing the virus to go in. The goal is to analyze and simulate how the virus works."

"Alright then." Lin Huang was relieved to see Bai's demonstration.

"Can I have the Godhead?' Bai turned his head to look at the black Godhead hovering mid-air nearby after explaining.

"You can have it if you want," Lin Huang offered. He did not ask Bai why would he want the Godhead. He knew that Bai had its reasons.

"This Godhead has signed a Blood Bond. I can use it as a medium to master the Rotten Heart's Blood Bond ability better. I can refine this Godhead directly when I elevate to Virtual God rank-4 and obtain the Rotten Heart's complete inheritance." Bai provided a detailed explanation anyway.

"You can have it if it's helpful to elevate your abilities. There's no need to explain in such detail," Lin Huang responded with a smile. "Put it away now. We need to move on."

Bai only put the Godhead away in its body after getting Lin Huang's permission.

The three of them hopped onto Thunder's back. Thunder flapped its wings and flew towards their next target.

Bloody cast parasites on six of the remaining ten virtual god-level monsters. Grimace and the rest practiced on the other three Virtual God rank-3 monsters. Meanwhile, Bai fought the Virtual God rank-4 monster.

The battle this time was much easier than killing the Rotten Heart before.

The Virtual God rank-4 monster that Bai fought was a Dead Spirit Dominator that was an expert in close-range combat.

Bai used the Rotten Heart's ability that he had just signed the Blood Bond with directly. His bloody tentacles turned black with the curse and toxin. The battle had just started for less than ten seconds, but a simple contact slashed the Dead Spirit Dominator's abilities by more than half.

Subsequently, the battle turned around as if Bai was beating a child. He spent less than two minutes settling this battle. However, Bai did not ask for the Virtual God rank-4 Godhead this time. Instead, it gave it to Lin Huang.

Lin Huang spent almost two hours decimating all the 23 virtual god-level monsters.

He checked the time. It was only past 11 in the morning. He was bored, so he had lunch early. Bai, Bloody, and Thunder took their favorite snacks out as their lunch.

It was noon after lunch, and Lin Huang was done chatting with his few pets.

The ruins would only reset the monsters after midnight. In other words, they would have to wait for another 12 hours. Lin Huang was bored just thinking of it.

Although it was noon at the moment, it seemed like the sky was turning dark.

Lin Huang lifted his head to gaze at the sky. The moon aside, there was not even a single star. He was getting really bored. He thought of something as he was dull to his very core.

"The Queens need many carcasses as material to give birth to Bug Tribe fighters. There are so many monsters in this ruin. Isn't this the best source of Bug Tribe material?!"

A daring idea came into Lin Huang's head as he thought about this point.

Almost in the next second, a massive galactic hive the size of a moon landed in the ruin.

This hive was oval like a football. It hovered some ten meters above the ground.

It was Lin Huang's first time summoning the galactic hive since he obtained it.

Even he was amazed when he saw the true form of the hive in reality.

Bloody, Bai, and Thunder were completely dumbstruck as they stood frozen where they were.

"Is this the legendary galactic hive?!" Bloody could not help but mumble. She had read about such a thing in the ancient documents more than once. However, it was her first time seeing the real thing. She was well and truly shocked.

Meanwhile, Bai and Thunder were speechless.

The bugs in the galactic hive used the hive as a medium. They did not occupy Lin Huang's summoning authority at all. He could summon a few hundred million or even a billion of them.

Lin Huang contacted the four Bug Tribe Queen Mothers and issued his order, "Clear the entire ruins!"

The four Queen Mothers that got his order cascaded the order to the bugs under them through the hive immediately. A stream of bugs rushed out like a tide when they received the Queen Mothers' orders.

They flew in all directions under the Multi-eyed Worms, the Superbrain Worms, the Golden Bugs, and the thousands of Bug Servants' command.

Chapter 1206: A Great Sweep

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The four Queen Mothers that took the form of young girls sat in four corners of the galactic hive.

Under their command, the seven Virtual God rank-2 bugs led the 10,000 pseudo-mythical-levels and more than 30 million imperial-level purple gold-rank bugs to sweep the place.

The stream of bugs rushing out of the galactic hive covered the sky like dark clouds.

Lin Huang had cleared all of the 23 virtual god-level monsters in the ruin earlier. Now, the most powerful monster was merely on demigod-level while the rest of the monsters ranged from holy fire-level to imperial-level. The level of the monster horde was nothing compared to the number of monsters in the bug horde.

The bug horde was like a locust plague. They killed all the monsters wherever they passed, leaving no lives behind.

Approximately ten hours later, the bug horde cleared the entire ruin. Billions of abyssal and demonic monsters were killed. The few virtual god-level monsters put the carcasses away into their God Territory.

The monster carcasses were valuable material to the Queen Mothers, so they brought them to the latter.

Meanwhile, Lin Huang had been practicing his sword skills in a relaxed manner tduringthe ten hours.

It was 10.30 p.m. when the bug horde returned. The ruin remained looking as if it was dusk.

Bloody nodded at Lin Huang. "They've cleared everything. At least, there's nothing alive within my range of observation." She was actually secretly in awe about how terrifying the Bug Tribe was.

"The total amount of monsters killed is around 3.3 billion. I didn't calculate the exact data."

"The rough figure will do," said Lin Huang. He gazed into the galactic hive after chatting with Bloody.

In the hive, the seven virtual god-level bugs took out the monster carcasses from their God Territory respectively and gave them to the four Queen Mothers.

The Queen Mothers who obtained the sea of monster carcasses soon went into breeding mode. They transformed from human forms to their Bug Tribe forms. They began devouring the monster carcasses one after another after connecting to the incubator.

Lin Huang learned about the Queen Mothers' habits from the hive's inherited memories. Since the Queen Mothers were already on Virtual God rank-2, it would be meaningless for them to breed fighters below virtual god-level. Therefore, when the material obtained was of a lower grade, the Bug Tribe Queen Mothers would not breed fighters of the same combat strength as the material. Instead, they would store the material as sources of energy whereby they would be nutrients used in breeding imperial-level monsters.

Among the 3.3 billion monsters, most of them were on holy fire and immortal-level. Less than a tenth of them were imperial-level monsters. With these low-grade monster carcasses as material, the imperial-level purple gold-rank bugs that the Queen Mothers would eventually breed might come up to be less than a hundred million.

Even though that was the case, Lin Huang was pretty satisfied with the results.

After all, he had obtained tens of millions of Bug Tribe fighters without doing anything.

He put the galactic hive away into his body after seeing that all of the fighters had returned while the four Bug Tribe Queen Mothers had entered incubation.

He practiced his sword skills for another one and a half hours patiently. The sky in the ruin turned bright all of a sudden when it reached midnight.

Lin Huang lifted his head to peer up. A bloody crack extended across the sky rapidly. At first, it was less than a meter long, but it grew tens of kilometers long within a short few seconds. The crack resembled a stroke in the sky that had been drawn with a red pen.

As the crack expanded in the sky, tiny cracks began to appear below it. The sky seemed to have failed to bear the existence of the crack and it began to tear.

Time passed by. Slowly, the red crack appeared to be expanded by an invisible force. It looked like an eye beginning to open from a state of being shut.

The entire Virtual Eye hanging in the sky made it look like the sky had a bloody pupil growing in it and was studying the world.

The red, bloody glow turned the dusk into day. However, the day looked a little odd, as if the entire ruin had been dyed red.

Although the Virtual Eye was far away, Lin Huang clearly saw that there were many black silhouettes standing at the Virtual Eye that had just opened.

As the Virtual Eye stabilized, the black silhouettes rushed out of it like a waterfall. Lin Huang managed to notice that the black silhouettes which were rushing out were monsters.

He did not hesitate any longer and summoned Thunder again. "Let's go to the Virtual Eye!"

Thunder flew with Lin Huang and Bloody on its back. It only took two to three minutes to arrive at the area where the Virtual Eye was.

Lin Huang summoned the galactic hive again, showing no mercy after taking a glance at the Virtual Eye with monsters spurting out of it.

The four Queen Mothers that had received his order conveyed his order again. In the galactic hive, more than three billion imperial-level purple gold-rank monsters rushed out of it in a frenzy. They attacked and destroyed the monster horde coming out of the Virtual Eye.

Even the Virtual God rank-1 and rank-2 monsters were parasitized by Bloody as soon as they came out. They had no idea what exactly happened at all.

As for the Virtual God rank-3 monsters, Lin Huang did not summon Lancelot and the rest to practice. After all, it was not suitable for them to practice their skills under such chaos. Instead, he got the seven virtual god-level bugs to attack and kill them as soon as they could.

Lin Huang summoned Bai again when the Virtual Eye sent its first Virtual God rank-4 monster.

Bai sensed his opponent's existence immediately. It went into battle mode before Lin Huang even gave his order.

The massacre at the entrance of the Virtual Eye was undoubtedly much more efficient than before.

Within approximately three hours, all of the three billion monsters that rushed out of the Virtual Eye were killed.

Apart from the two Virtual God rank-4 monsters which had taken some of Bai's time, all of the monsters were killed right away, including the Virtual God rank-3 monsters.

The Virtual Eye finally disintegrated completely when it finished releasing the last batch of monsters at 3 a.m.

The three billion monsters that came out of the Virtual Eye ended up as carcasses strewn all over the place.

The seven virtual god-level bugs cleared the battlefield quickly and put all of them away into their God Territory.

Meanwhile, Bai passed the two Virtual God rank-4 and five Virtual God rank-3 monsters' Godheads to Lin Huang.

It was almost 3.30 a.m. when the entire battlefield was cleared.

Lin Huang hovered mid-air and looked at the empty ground. The ruin was silent.

"The Virtual Eye will open again in three days. I wonder what would people from the Union Government think if they came within these three days and saw an empty piece of land."

"I guess the people from your hometown would say they must look dumb," Bloody mocked.

Lin Huang lifted his head and glanced at the sky that was dusky again after putting the galactic hive away in his body while riding on Thunder's back with Bloody and Bai.

He knew this should be the last time he would visit this ruin.

"Time to go! Next stop, the Hunter Association's Hunting Garden!"

If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know report chapter so we can fix it as soon as possible.

Report chapter

The Hunter Association's grade-6 ruin was called the Hunting Garden.

The reason it was given such a name was that there were many varieties of monsters in this ruin.

Under normal circumstances, an ordinary ruin would only have 20 to 30 types of monsters. Very few of them had more than 40 types of monsters. However, according to the Hunter Association's records, they confirmed that the Hunting Garden had 183 types of monsters. It was said that over 20 types of monsters were never found. Nobody had ever managed to take photos as proof for some reason, so their existence was never proven.

There was something unique about the monsters in the Hunting Garden whereby most of them were carnivorous. There was a minority of them that were omnivorous, but almost none were herbivorous. These monsters had powerful hunting skills.

Lin Huang was very interested in such a ruin.

Since he had booked his slot earlier, he headed straight to the Hunter Association headquarters in foothold No. 1A2, Hunting City.

The person who was responsible for serving him was the deputy chief, Wu Xing, who was a tall and big man.

Although he looked like a lummox, in reality, Wu Xing's character was the complete opposite of his appearance. He was great in interpersonal relationships.

Lin Huang had no idea whether he was really friendly or was pretending. However, the experience made him comfortable. Wu Xing had a great sense of propriety in everything he did, and that alone impressed Lin Huang.

Most people had no sense of propriety as Wu Xing did. At least, Lin Huang could not achieve that. Furthermore, among the many people he knew, Huang Tianfu might be the only one whose sense of propriety could compare with Wu Xing's.

Lin Huang was chatting with Wu Xing along the way. He realized that he had arrived at the entrance of the Hunting Garden.

"This is the entrance of the ruin and it's also the furthest I can send you." Wu Xing stopped walking.

Lin Huang nodded and thanked him. Then, he stepped into the ruin.

Compared to the Demon Swamp, this ruin was completely different. Lin Huang felt like he had stepped from summer into spring as soon as he got in. The ruin looked like it was spring with lush flowers and trees around. There was even a small river flowing not far away.

This ruin did not look like a ruin at all. It looked more like a tourist spot where it was spring all year round.

Lin Huang was stunned to see the scenery. However, he snapped back to his senses after being distracted for a moment.

He remembered clearly of the ruins' description in the Hunter Association's record – Intruders would be treated as prey by the local monsters at all times.

Lin Huang summoned Bloody as soon as he stepped into the meadows of the ruin.

"This ruin has beautiful scenery," Bloody could not help but comment when she glanced around as soon as she was summoned.

Subsequently, the duo did the usual whereby Bloody spread her Leech Pods out to get a rough map of the entire ruins.

Later on, instead of killing virtual god-level monsters one by one, Lin Huang summoned the galactic hive and got the seven virtual god-level bugs to lead the bug horde to clear the ruins.

The Hunting Garden was only slightly smaller than Union Government's Demon Swamp, but there were considerably fewer monsters in it. There were only a total of 300 million monsters, which was only around a tenth of the total amount of monsters the Demon Swamp had.

Moreover, there were only six virtual god-level monsters. Among them, the two monsters with the highest combat strength were only on Virtual God rank-3. That was the reason why Lin Huang used the hive directly with zero concern.

Some five hours later, the 300 million monsters were cleared by the bug horde. There was no living thing within the range of Bloody's observation.

Lin Huang checked the time after watching the bug horde return to the hive. It was only past 2 p.m., and it would take another ten hours for the monsters to be reset.

The ruin would take 48 hours to reset each time, which was shorter than the Demon Swamp's 72-hour window. However, Lin Huang clearly did not plan to stay.

It was boring enough for him to wait for ten hours, and he could only kill time by practicing his sword skill. He had no patience to wait for 48 hours. To him, he could do many things within those 48 hours.

The change in light was the other difference between the Hunting Garden and the Demon Swamp.

The Demon Swamp always looked like dusk before the night fell, but the Hunting Garden had clear changes between day and night. It was almost the same as the outside world.

Approximately four hours later, the sky dimmed when it was 6.30 pm.

In reality, no sun could be seen in the ruin. Lin Huang had no idea what the source of light was in there. There was no light source at all in the dark blue sky above.

The sky finally turned completely dark when it was almost 8 p.m. However, that did not affect Lin Huang practicing his sword skills at all.

Soon, another three and a half hours passed. A Virtual Eye appeared rapidly in the sky just when the needle on the clock passed midnight.

Lin Huang looked confused when he saw the Virtual Eye that had just risen in the Hunting Garden.

Next to him, Bloody smiled. "I can't believe that we finally get to see the colorful Virtual Eye that we've only seen in records."

"It's my first time seeing it too," Lin Huang responded while smiling.

The Virtual Eye hanging in the sky was colorful with nine different colors. Although it looked strange, it gave him an odd sense of comfort.

Just when Lin Huang was discussing the color of the Virtual Eye with Bloody, the colorful Virtual Eye stabilized. A stream of various monsters began rushing out like a pouring waterfall.

Lin Huang had not put the galactic hive away since earlier. Seeing monsters rushing out now, he gave his orders to the four Queen Mothers again without hesitation. He told them to kill all of the monsters coming out of the Virtual Eye.

Almost the next second he gave his order, endless bugs rushed out like dark clouds, heading towards the Virtual Eye.

This time, Lin Huang did not observe the battle at a close distance. He watched the battle through Bloody's Leech Pods from far away.

Due to the restriction as a result of the difference in combat strength and the speed of monsters being sent out from the Virtual Eye, the battle was one-sided from the beginning. The monster horde was completely oppressed and annihilated

The same thing happened to the virtual god-level monsters. They were killed by the Superbrain Worms and the rest just when they showed up from the Virtual Eye.

The one-sided massacre only ended some three hours later. All of the monsters that emerged from the Virtual Eye were killed. There was no exceptions.

Watching the colorful Virtual Eye disintegrate in the sky while the bugs returned to the hive one after another, Lin Huang could not help but smirk as he recalled the hive back to his body.

"The Hunter Association's Hunting Garden is completed! So, what's next?"

Chapter 1208: Shadow Killer's Visit

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

It was almost 3.30 a.m. when Lin Huang returned from the Hunting Garden to Emperor City.

The first thing he did was sort out the loot as soon as he returned to the Emperor Palace.

They killed almost seven billion monsters from the two grade-6 ruins throughout the few days, namely the Demon Swamp and the Hunting Garden.

Among the monsters killed, there were 58 virtual god-level monsters. Lin Huang had also obtained a total of 17 Virtual God rank-3 to rank-4 Godheads.

Apart from the bunch of Godheads, Lin Huang also obtained almost 20,000 complete Monster Cards throughout the two days. Most of the Monster Cards were legendary-level. Only three of them were pseudo-mythical-level.

There was also a pile of card pieces. He did not integrate them. Instead, he stored them in the card piece mall as back-up.

The Godheads and cards aside, in reality, the biggest reward he obtained was the seven billion monster carcasses. The carcasses were breeding material for the Bug Tribe Queen Mothers.

According to Bloody's calculation, the four Queen Mothers should be able to breed 200 million imperial-level purple gold-rank Bug Tribe fighters with the seven billion monster carcasses.

Initially, there were only over 30 million Bug Tribe fighters in the galactic hive. Throughout the round of breeding, the number of bugs would be increased by a few more times.

Apart from that, Bloody also obtained 40 Virtual God rank-1 and rank-2 Parasitic Puppets. She experienced a boost in her abilities.

One could say that this round of kills gave Lin Huang's overall abilities a substantial boost.

After sorting out the loot, he tossed the 17 Godheads that he had just obtained into his body and began to practice his sword skills.

Lin Huang's Emperor's Heart Ring began vibrating all of a sudden when it was almost 11 in the morning.

In the midst of practicing his sword skills, he picked up the video call immediately upon seeing that it was Huang Tianfu calling.

"What's up?"

"Misery sent us a message. They've come to an agreement with the Union Government. But the Union Government got Misery to join anonymously because of their reputation. Moreover, to avoid future inconveniences, Misery will sign an agreement with Dynasty instead. If they do that, when Misery is exposed of being in the circle, the Union Government can pretend that they know nothing and push the responsibility onto us." Huang Tianfu knew the Union Government's plan very well.

"Isn't that what we want?" Lin Huang grinned when he heard that.

"But are the people from Misery reliable?" Huang Tianfu asked, feeling concerned.

Lin Huang fell into silence for a moment and thought about it carefully. In reality, it was unnecessary for him to hide the truth from Huang Tianfu any longer. "Misery is already an affiliate organization under me."

"Do you mean they're under Royal now?" Huang Tianfu did not expect that. He was clearly stunned when he heard what Lin Huang said.

"Yes, I've registered them under Royal," Lin Huang acknowledged.

"I get it now. Dynasty will give our all no matter what Misery needs in the future," Huang Tianfu soon accepted the truth.

"Dynasty is Dynasty, and Misery is Misery. Both organizations will develop individually. You don't have to worry about the development on Misery's side as they won't interfere with us either," Lin Huang added, "There's no need for you to treat Misery as competition. Dynasty's competition will forever be Dynasty."

"Your humble one understands," Huang Tianfu replied without any change in his expression.

"Anything else?"

"Shadow Killer set an appointment two days ago. They'll visit tomorrow at 9 a.m."

"I'm around tomorrow," Lin Huang confirmed.

"Also, the remaining demigods have elevated to virtual god-level successfully throughout the past two days with Mr. Fu's help," Huang Tianfu added, "I'm thinking of announcing about the demigods elevating to Virtual Gods after we've come up with an agreement with Shadow Killer."

"Sounds great. We'll do as you say." Lin Huang did not raise any objections.

After hanging up on Huang Tianfu's call, Lin Huang recalled that Shadow Killer's grade-6 ruin was the only one left that he had yet to visit.

"It's time to leave the gravel world after signing an agreement with Shadow Killer in these few days. Let's visit the last grade-6 ruin."

It was in the middle of the night. Lin Huang practiced his sword skills until approximately midnight. Figuring that he was meeting Shadow Killer the next day, he quickly washed up and went to bed.

The next morning, he entered Dynasty's office after breakfast.

Although Shadow Killer was a giant, they had always been low-profiled no matter what they did. They did not announce their visit to Dynasty this time. Otherwise, the Internet would have been stirred early in the morning, and Dynasty would have definitely trended again.

In reality, within Dynasty, only the three Grand Dukes and a few Dukes knew about this. The rest of the members had no idea about the visit.

When it was around 8.50 a.m., the people from Shadow Killer arrived.

Everyone gaped at the group of 11 people as soon as they walked into Dynasty's office.

Lin Huang welcomed them at the entrance with Huang Tianfu and Huang Wunan. They brought the people from Shadow Killer to the meeting room on the highest floor.

The people in the office discussed excitedly among themselves after they left. They were guessing who those people in the black robes were. They seemed to be so honorable that the Emperor had welcomed them himself.

In reality, Shadow Killer's leader was not the demigod Ying Shisan who the outsiders knew about. Instead, it was Yue Shen who led the team to Dynasty this time. His combat strength was on Virtual God rank-3.

Among the ten people behind him, there was one Virtual God rank-3 and another Virtual God rank-4 while the rest were demigods.

The one with the highest combat strength on Virtual God rank-4 was a lady. She wore a black veil on her face and even blocked her Divine Telekinesis function.

Lin Huang merely stole a glance and figured that Shadow Killer must have found a way to elevate demigods straight to virtual god-level because a Virtual God rank-3 Godhead was the most a person's body could bear.

After entering the meeting room, Yue Shen from Shadow Killer went straight into the subject after they chatted for a while and introduced themselves.

"What we want from working with Dynasty is very simple. We want the same privileges as the Union Government and the Hunter Association."

The first response Lin Huang had was, 'Has our intel been exposed?' when he heard that. However, he soon realized that was not the case.

"No offence, but do you know what's the collaboration we have with the two union organizations?" Huang Tianfu could not help but ask.

"We've no idea what exactly it is, but the condition must be too hard to resist for you guys to be work with the Union Government," Yue Shen said while smiling.

"So, how are sure that what the Union Government wants is also what you guys want?" Lin Huang asked.

"We're not sure. That's why we're visiting to ask what exactly that is. If that's what we, Shadow Killer, want as well, we'll proceed with the discussion. If not, there's no need to go any further," Yue Shen said like everything made sense.

Huang Tianfu and Huang Wunan looked at Lin Huang. They seemed to be asking for Lin Huang's permission to tell the truth.

Lin Huang nodded lightly. "There's no harm to tell you guys. What we offered the Union Government is access to Royal's trial zones."

Chapter 1209: A Salted Fish Should Have A Salted Fish's Realization

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The discussion between Dynasty and Shadow Killer went well the next two days.

Misery also signed the agreement the same day when Shadow Killer signed theirs. They joined the circle anonymously. The circle that Dynasty and the Union Government built became the most powerful alliance in the entire gravel world.

With the five giants, including the Union Government, the Hunter Association, Misery, Shadow Killer, and the Mystic Butterfly together with the soon-to-be giant Dynasty, this alliance was invincible.

The heretics, which was a top organization, became the weakest one in the circle. They could only play the position as a dependant party.

The heretics' upper echelons were surprised to see the Hunter Association, the Mystic Butterfly, and Shadow Killer joining the circle recently.

They were in a meeting when they heard about Shadow Killer joining.

"Holy sh*t! Four out of the five giants have joined them!" the Vice Presiding Judge, Zhou Tong, forgot to remove his little finger from his nostril when he heard about Shadow Killer joining.

"Don't forget that Dynasty is the soon-to-be giant. We, the heretics, are the weakest among the entire circle," added the hunk, rubbing his feet.

"Luckily, we joined early and managed to butter Dynasty up. Had we only joined now, I guess Dynasty would've just kicked us out," Cao Ya said while biting her nails.

"I don't think we're that bad…" the Presiding Judge, Sun Zhuo, shrugged helplessly.

However, Sun Zhuo was completely ignored. They proceeded with the next topic on their own.

"Exactly which organization has joined us anonymously?"

"It's most probably an underground organization."

"Do you guys think it might be Misery?" Cao Ya said, still biting her nails.

"Boss, the application from the anonymous organization should pass through you. You should know which one is it, am I right?" the hunk rubbing his feet turned his head and asked Sun Zhuo.

Sun Zhuo hesitated for a moment and nodded, figuring that it was only a matter of time that they would find out. "Yes, it's Misery. Keep this within ourselves, and don't spread it around!"

"It's really Misery?! Now, all five giants have gathered. It's insane!" the Vice Presiding Judge Zhou Tong explained out loud in his thick nasal voice.

"I've always thought that we weren't bad, but now I feel like we're just trash!" Cao Ya felt like she had just received a slap on her face.

"Five giants and one soon-to-be giant… So, it's six dragging one on. I think that's pretty good. There's always one that's slowing the team down. Why can't we be it?" Vice Presiding Judge Zhou Tong proceeded to dig his nose, appearing like he did not care.

"Don't you have any humiliation in you?" the hunk rubbing his feet scoffed while glaring at him.

"A salted fish should have a salted fish's awareness. We're salted fish. Why should we waste our efforts pretending that we're seafood?" Zhou Tong spoke in his nasal voice while proceeding to dig his nose.

"Because seafood is more expensive," answered Cao Yao who was sitting next to him.

"Xiao Ya, it was only a rhetorical question," said Zhou Tong while glaring at her.

"Oh."

"Let's continue our meeting. Stop the irrelevant topic right now!" Sun Zhou was getting more and more upset as he listened to them speak. He ended the topic after slamming the table.

After signing the agreement with Shadow Killer, Lin Huang followed the team back to their headquarters in Silhouette City in foothold No. 1A11.

He spent half the evening downloading the documents in Shadow Killer's library and archives. The next morning, he headed straight to the last grade-6 ruin opened to the gravel world.

The grade-6 ruin under Shadow Killer's jurisdiction was called the Shadow Land.

Day did not exist in the entire ruin, only night.

Apart from many dark creatures, there was a unique monster in this ruin called the Shadow Beast.

The Shadow Beast was an evil spirit that possessed the ability to control its shadow.

Such an ability was actually mediocre. However, it would turn its body into a shadow to be immune to physical attacks.

Fortunately, among the Queen Mothers' Bug Tribe army, there were bugs that could handle such a monster. Lin Huang was prepared ahead thanks to Bloody's reminder.

After summoning the galactic hive, Lin Huang did not get all of the bugs to attack. Instead, he only got the bugs that could fight Shadow Beasts to battle.

Throughout the few days, the four Queen Mothers were done with approximately a third of the breeding from the monster carcasses. The 30 million-strong bug army was boosted to 100 million. Among the 100 million Bug Tribe army members, only around ten million of them could harm the Shadow Beasts. It slowed down the hunting speed of the Bug Tribe army by heaps compared to before.

From 8 a.m, the Bug Tribe army spent some 15 hours killing the 400 million-odd monsters in the ruin.

There were a total of ten virtual god-level monsters among them. Three of them were on Virtual God rank-3 while the remaining seven were either on Virtual God rank-1 or rank-2.

The ruin refreshed in the middle of the night when they had rested for less than an hour.

The Virtual Eye that was opening in the Shadow Land was completely black.

Once again, Lin Huang led the galactic hive to block the entrance in order to kill the monsters coming out of it.

When it was around 1 p.m, they finally cleared the Shadow Land to decimate it into a land of nothingness.

Since it would take 48 hours for the Shadow Land to refresh, Lin Huang did not stay and wait in the ruin. Instead, he left in satisfaction and returned to Emperor City.

He began sorting out the loot he obtained this round as soon as he returned to the Emperor's Palace.

"Six Virtual God rank-3 Godheads, a total of 14 Virtual God rank-1 and rank-2 puppets, over 800 million monster carcasses — enough for the Queen Mothers to breed close to 30 million Bug Tribe fighters, two complete pseudo-mythical-level Monster Cards, over 2,200 complete legendary-level Monster Cards and over 800 million card pieces…

"Now that I've downloaded everything in all the libraries and archives as well as clearing all the grade-6 ruins available, it's almost time to leave," Lin Huang mumbled softly after sorting out the loot.

"I think it's best that you don't announce your departure. Just tell people that you're going into closed-door cultivation," Bloody suggested.

"I think so too," Lin Huang agreed.

The reason why Dynasty was currently in the limelight was mainly that people followed what was happening to Lin Huang. Even though he did not participate in the exact management and operation of things, he was influential in Dynasty's development of the people in the cultivation world. At least, many new members joined Dynasty because of him.

If Lin Huang were to announce his departure, many people would think that he had left Dynasty entirely. According to Bloody's data analysis, if Lin Huang left Dynasty, there would be at least an 83% drop in new Dynasty members. That was something that Lin Huang did not want to happen.

"How about your friends? Will you bid them farewell?" Bloody reminded, "Or will you lie to them that you're going into closed-door cultivation too to prevent them from leaking it unintentionally?"

In reality, Lin Huang was almost done with everything before his departure. The only thing that he had yet to do was inform his old friends such as Yi Yeyu.

Hearing Bloody's questions, he went into silence for a moment and shook his head. "There's no need to hide it from them. I'll spend some time meeting them and bidding them farewell these few days."

Chapter 1210: Fatty's Troubles

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Lin Huang looked at the time after chatting with Bloody for a while. It was almost two in the afternoon.

He spread his Divine Telekinesis range out and realized that the three Grand Dukes were there. Furthermore, most of the Dukes who were at the agreement-signing ceremony with Shadow Killer were there too.

He left the Emperor's Palace in a flash and appeared in Huang Tianfu's office.

Huang Tianfu was chatting with Huang Wunan and Huang Tufu. They were surprised to see Lin Huang's sudden appearance.

The trio greeted Lin Huang as soon as they saw him, "Master Emperor!"

"Tufu, you're still here. Is the headquarters busy today?"

"We announced the news about demigods elevating to Virtual Gods this morning and created a stir on the Internet. The Union Government, the Hunter Association, the Mystic Butterfly, and Shadow Killer called to ask if the news is real," Huang Tianfu explained with a candid smile.

"No wonder everyone is here…" Lin Huang recalled that Huang Tianfu had asked for his opinion on whether to announce the news after signing the agreement with Shadow Killer. "I almost forgot about that."

"Go ahead with this. Tianfu, help me gather everyone for a meeting tomorrow morning. It's best that everyone can attend. There's something that I want to announce."

"I'll inform them later," Huang Tianfu agreed directly without asking what the matter was.

Huang Tufu was more straightforward, so he asked directly, "What's the matter, Master Emperor?"

Lin Huang, who was turning around to leave, stopped. He turned his head and looked at Huang Tufu. "All of you will find out tomorrow."

Lin Huang did not interrupt them seeing Huang Tianfu and the rest were busy.

He called Zhi Ji from Misery when he returned to the Emperor's Palace. He got him to arrange the meeting that would take place the day after tomorrow.

Zhi Ji did not ask about that any further.

After hanging up the call with Zhi Ji, Lin Huang thought about it and called Yin Hangyi.

The call was picked up after ringing less than twice. Fatty's round face occupied the entire screen.

"Can you not stick your face so close to the screen every time?" Lin Huang grumbled.

Fatty moved his face a little further away from the screen and argued, "It's not like you've no idea that I have short arms. It's more troublesome to put my face a distance away."

"You're complaining about moving your hands, but how come you never complain when you're eating?"

"Of course, it's different when I eat. Eating can replenish my energy!" Fatty always had odd theories of his own.

"Replenish your energy? It's no wonder you're so fat!"

Lin Huang finally got down to business after messing around with Fatty. "How's home?"

Fatty hesitated for a moment after hearing that. He then nodded and said, "Not bad. Same old, same old."

However, his hesitation was undoubtedly like slow motion to Lin Huang who saw through it crystal clear.

"What happened? Stop messing around with me," Lin Huang probed further.

Fatty only told the truth after realizing that he could not hide it from Lin Huang.

"Nothing much. It's just that the people in town heard about me coming back alive and said that my family is bad luck. It's just conflict among neighbors. There's nothing to worry about."

In reality, Lin Huang expected such a thing to happen. The reason being, Fatty looked exactly the same as he was two years ago. People who knew him from the past could definitely discern it. Especially because he lived in such a small place like Nanmu Town, everyone had seen each other and they all basically knew one another. They recognized each other's faces even if they did not know each other. Moreover, the entire town would find out about something as soon as it happened no matter how minor it was. There was no way of hiding anything in that town.

Lin Huang advised Fatty to move in order to prevent trouble like that. Fatty was just concerned about his old lady who had been living in the town for over a decade. He was afraid that the old lady was unwilling to move because she had gotten used to her life.

"So, how's business?" Lin Huang asked again when he realized Fatty was reluctant to talk more about his family.

"Business has been affected slightly." Fatty shook his head, feeling helpless. "There's a high-end restaurant close to the main outlet in Baqi City. They've been competing with us. The people in town found out about that and sold the news about me coming back alive to them. They hired people to make up rumors when they dined at our restaurant. They said that a dead person made the food and that people would have bad luck after eating it. Apart from that, they said the reason why our food is so delicious is that we use human meat… Many people in Baqi City heard the stories they made up, and some of the regulars did not dare to dine in our restaurant any longer."

"People are clearly making things up. Can't you get the Union Government to handle this?" Lin Huang frowned slightly.

"I did, but it didn't work. They said it was the customers who said that. There's nothing that they can do since it came from the lips of the customers. The Union Government ran their checks for a while and found those people who made up the rumor. Those people said that someone else told them that. They didn't want to tell who told them that, so that was the end of it," Fatty updated.

"I'm just complaining and venting to you, so don't worry about it. You're the Emperor. Take care of your own stuff. This is just something insignificant. You don't have to worry about this." Fatty was unwilling to get Lin Huang involved in this.

"Oh yeah, is there anything that you want to tell me?" Fatty changed the subject upon noticing Lin Huang fall into silence.

"I'll have a gathering on the 18th. I invited some old friends over, and Yi Yeyu will be there too. Come join us. Treat it as a getaway to clear your mind." Lin Huang invited Fatty with a smile.

"The witch examiner will be there too?" Fatty widened his eyes and revealed a lecherous smile. "Are both of you…?"

"You should use your brain capacity to figure how to be a better Food Hunter instead," Lin Huang interrupted Fatty instantly, "On the morning of the 18th, I'll get someone to pick you up."

"Oh yeah, get the old lady and the rest to come too. Just treat it as a vacation. I'll arrange the food and accommodation. I can send someone to be your tour guide if there's somewhere you'd like to go," Lin Huang added.

"That's too much to ask for."

"Don't worry. Emperor City is my territory. Of course, I have to give you guys the best," Lin Huang assured, "Tell the old lady that if she doesn't want to come, I'll knock on her door myself."

"Sure, I'll treat it as a holiday then," Fatty agreed.with a grin.

After hanging up on the call with Yin Hangyi, Lin Huang called Yi Yeyu, Yi Zheng, Leng Yuexin, Li Lang, Chan Dou, and his senior brother, Liu Ming to invite them to the gathering.

They agreed to come without hesitation.

These friends were close to Lin Huang. Furthermore, some of them had helped him throughout his journey of growth.

Apart from bidding them farewell, Lin Huang actually got each of them a gift.

Lin Huang opened his contact page after calling his friends one after another. He called Jiang Shan from the Union Government when he found his number on the contact page.

He spoke expressionlessly when the call was picked up, "Chief Jiang, I need a favor. I have a friend in Division 7's Baqi City who's encountered some trouble."

Chapter 1211: His Old Friends Are Here

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

All the upper echelons of Dynasty gathered on the 16th of March.

Naturally, Huang Baiyu, Huang Haoyang, and the three Grand Dukes were there, and so were the 12 virtual god-level Dukes.

Everyone had their eyes on Lin Huang as soon as he arrived.

Apart from Huang Tianfu who had a rough idea of what the purpose of the meeting was, the rest were unsure why Lin Huang would call for a meeting so early in the morning.

Lin Huang glanced at the time after he took his seat. He did not bother to wait any longer upon seeing that it was almost 9 a.m. and announced directly, "I called this meeting today mainly to inform all of you that I'm leaving this gravel world."

Everyone was stunned to hear that.

Even though Huang Tianfu speculated that since the beginning, he could not help but feel emotional when he heard Lin Huang saying it out loud.

"When are you leaving?" Huang Tufu was the first to ask.

"I'll leave in a few days when I'm done handling some stuff. If everything goes as planned, I should be able to leave before the 20th."

"So soon?!" Everyone was more than a little shocked.

They thought Lin Huang would only leave at least one to two months later after his announcement.

"Dynasty's development is on track now, so it doesn't make too much of a difference whether I'm here or not. All you guys will have to do is follow the plan that I've prepared. It's just a matter of time for Dynasty to become a giant as long as all of you follow the plan.

"Moreover, it's not that I'll never come back after I leave this time. I'll only be gone for a year. By then, I hope to see Dynasty develop better than I can ever imagine."

Lin Huang only projected the one-year plan Bloody came up with after giving his farewell speech.

"This is the one-year plan that I've come up with for Dynasty. There's no need for you guys to carry it out strictly. Nothing will go wrong if you follow the main direction," Lin Huang said and forwarded the plan to the three Grand Dukes who then forwarded it to the rest of the Duke. "Take a look. Ask whatever questions that you might have. We'll discuss this today."

The meeting took almost the entire day. Everyone only finished discussing Lin Huang's plan after eight at night.

From the questions the people raised and the depth of the discussion, Lin Huang was sure that Dynasty would be in good hands for the coming year.

Bloody's plan almost involved every aspect in detail. She provided solutions for any possible situation.

As long as they followed this plan, Dynasty had the certainty of becoming a giant in the coming year.

After the meeting ended, Lin Huang returned to the Emperor's Palace, not tired at all. Instead, he was filled with anticipation for Dynasty's future.

The next morning, Lin Huang arrived on time in Nirvana City where Misery's headquarters was.

Zhi Ji and everyone in red robes was prepared for his arrival at the top floor of the Sky Pagoda.

"Master Emperor!"

Zhi Ji led the bunch of them in red robes to welcome Lin Huang.

Lin Huang also noticed that there were a few unfamiliar faces among the people in red robes. They were all on Virtual God rank-1, so they must have elevated from demigod-level not long ago.

Entering the meeting room, Lin Huang glanced through the 15 people in red robes and told them the purpose of meeting up.

He then presented them with the one-year plan that Bloody came up with.

However, Misery's attitude was clearly less enthusiastic than Dynasty's.

When Lin Huang got Zhi Ji and the rest to ask questions, most of them asked things that were unrelated. Only two or three of them raised some questions that Lin Huang was happy to hear after looking through the plan thoroughly.

The meeting ended when it was past 1 p.m. Everyone from Misery soon left after that.

Lin Huang gestured for Zhi Ji to stay.

"Zhi Ji, I had the same meeting with Dynasty yesterday. Do you know what time the meeting ended?" Lin Huang leaned back against the chair and asked Zhi Ji while lifting his head.

"Your humble one doesn't know." Zhi Ji roughly figured what Lin Huang was going to say, but he dared not speculate.

"The meeting also took place at 9 a.m., then we discussed the plan until 8.20 p.m. All 17 of them from Dynasty participated in the discussion and studied the plan that I provided. Above 80% of the questions raised were related to Dynasty's future development.

"The plan I gave Dynasty isn't exactly the same as the one I gave Misery. However, it's about 70% is the same, and the direction of development is almost similar. However, among the 15 of them who joined the meeting, only ten participated in the discussion. Including you, only three people really studied the plan."

"I'll get them to study the plan thoroughly later," Zhi Ji said immediately.

"Whether or not you guys follow the plan I provide, I want to see Misery's improvement in a year. If Misery's development isn't satisfactory, I'm sorry but I'll remove your organization from Royal's affiliate organization list." Lin Huang gave his last warning.

Although Misery's response was within Lin Huang and Bloody's expectations, he was upset when it really happened. After all, he had Dynasty to compare to Misery which needed tons of improvement in terms of loyalty.

However, Lin Huang's gloomy emotion soon turned into joy when he returned from Nirvana City to Emperor City.

He sensed Yi Yeyu and the rest's aurae as soon as he returned. He spread his Divine Telekinesis out and found out that apart from Chan Dou, Yin Hangyi, Yi Yeyu, Yi Zheng, Leng Yuexin, Li Lang, and Liu Ming were all there. Furthermore, they seemed to have settled their accommodation.

Lin Huang was in a jovial mood after sensing his bunch of old friends.

Although the gathering would only take place on the 18th, Lin Huang appeared in the courtyard they gathered in a flash after sensing their location.

The Yi siblings were in the courtyard while Leng Yuexin and Li Lang stood by the side. Fatty and his family were there too.

Lin Huang could tell that it should be the compound Fatty was staying in. The Yi siblings must be visiting while Leng Yuexin and Li Lang must have been dragged by the siblings to visit.

At that very moment, Yi Yeyu was staring at Fatty in the courtyard.

"Didn't… you die?"

"I faked my death," Yin Hangyi, who was also known as Fatty, recounted the story that Lin Huang came up with immediately.

"But Lin Huang told me that…" Yi Yeyu was interrupted by Lin Huang before she could ask any further, "Fatty encountered some trouble earlier. He had to fake his death to avoid trouble. For his own safety, I had to lie to my friends that he was dead."

"Lin Huang!" Everyone looked cheerfully at him.

"Why does he look exactly the same just like three years ago?" Yi Yeyu raised her doubt.

"That's the side effect of the elixir. It stunted his growth for a few years. However, the side effect only continues for around two to three years. His growth will normalize again in the future," Lin Huang told them the excuse that he came up with earlier again.

"How is it possible that there's such an elixir?" Yi Yeyu mumbled in doubt.

Yi Zheng, who was next to her, changed the topic. He stepped forward and shook Lin Huang's hand while smiling. "It's been a while."

"Yes, it's been a while," Lin Huang acknowledged with a smile too.

After they eased the attention off Fatty and chatted for a while, Lin Huang looked at Yin family's old lady in the wheelchair.

She was old after all, so it was inconvenient for her to walk. She thought she might as well use a wheelchair to go out.

The old lady was in high spirits. Clearly, she did not travel often. After chatting with Lin Huang for a while, she started telling him how great Emperor City was and the things that she saw along the way.

Yi Yeyu and the rest giggled to see how the old lady would not let go of him.

After chatting with the old lady for a while, Fatty took the initiative to interrupt them, "Grandma, you didn't take a snooze today because we were traveling. Let's take a nap. Lin Huang still has some stuff that he has to handle. Don't bother him."

"Alright then. You young people should catch up while I take a nap." The old lady only let go of Lin Huang then.

Lin Huang turned around and walked towards Leng Yuexin and Li Lang seeing Fatty pushing the old lady in the wheelchair into the house.

"Long time no see. I met Brother Zheng and the rest in Division 3 last year, but I've never seen both of you since I left Division 7."

"Yeah, it's been more than a year," Leng Yuexin confirmed.

"I never expected you becoming so famous so soon," said Li Lang, who was standing next to her, while chuckling.

After chatting with them, everyone returned to their compound one after another.

On the other hand, Lin Huang arrived in Liu Ming's courtyard in a flash. He began chatting with his senior brother who he had not seen for a long time.

The afternoon flew by quickly. Chan Dou finally arrived past 8 p.m.

Lin Huang had a rough idea of the Chan Clan's situation from the Mystic Butterfly. He knew how Chan Dou's family had been treating him for the past month.

However, Chan Dou did not mention his family's situation despite chatting for a while, and Lin Huang decided not to ask him about it. Chan Dou still had amnesia, so they fell into an awkward situation after the banter since they had nothing much to talk about.

Noticing that, Lin Huang patted Chan Dou's shoulder. "Why don't you stay at Dynasty? You can decide whether to go home after you get your memory back."

Chan Dou fell into silence for a long time before lifting his head to look at Lin Huang. "Give me some time to consider."

Lin Huang nodded. "Since you have no idea how you were like in the past, you should plan your future now. There's no need to make it complicated. Go for things that are beneficial to you now."

Lin Huang left in huge strides after saying that while Chan Dou stared into space while staying in the courtyard alone.

Chapter 1212: Brother, You Must Come Back!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

It was a sunny day on the 18th of March.

The temperature in Emperor City was getting warmer since it was the break of spring. People no longer wore their thick coats and cotton-padded jackets. They regained their spirits like before.

The sun had just risen in the morning. It was sunny, and there were no clouds in the blue, blue sky.

A faint glow came from basking in the sun.

Lin Huang dragged his old friends to the fat aunty's dumpling stall early in the morning.

In reality, at Dynasty, there would be professional Food Hunters taking turns to make breakfast every day. The delicious dumplings at the fat aunty's stall were not the main reason why Lin Huang frequented it. Taste-wise, Food Hunters could definitely make better ones. Lin Huang loved going there for breakfast because there was warmth and kinship there. In reality, such warmth was what most ordinary people in this gravel world experienced every day. It was such warmth that made Lin Huang realize that he was only human after all.

They combined two tables at the dumpling stall and took their seats around it.

The fat uncle served the dumplings while chuckling. "They're freshly made. Eat them while they're hot!"

Fatty Yin Hangyi was the first to pick the chopsticks up. He could not stop complimenting how tasty they were after taking a bite.

The rest began eating one after another.

"They have some really sick skills!" Fatty gushed after finishing a serving of dumplings. "The dumpling skin and filling are close to perfection, and the control of heat was great too."

"Master also said that their dumplings are the most perfect ones that ordinary people can make. Many Food Hunters might not even be able to make better ones with the same ingredients," Lin Huang reiterated what Mr. Fu said while smiling.

After breakfast, Lin Huang became a tour guide and brought them to visit a few tourist attractions in Emperor City. They had a lot of fun going around.

Lin Huang only had countable occasions of such relaxed times throughout the four years since he traveled to this world.

They toured around until dinner time. Lin Huang then brought them to Dynasty's headquarters.

He invited all of his friends to the Emperor's Palace. Naturally, apart from Yi Yeyu and the rest, Lin Xin, Mr. Fu, and Xiao Mo were there too.

They all gathered at the big dining table. Lin Huang sat at the main seat with Mr. Fu on his left and Lin Xin on his right.

To talk at ease, Mr. Fu set up a voice shield to shroud the dining table to avoid their voices from being heard.

The chefs were working happily in the Emperor's Palace kitchen. It was their first time entering the Emperor's Palace. Before the dishes were served, the bartender began preparing the drinks that each of them ordered.

Lin Huang picked up the glass before him after everyone had been served their drinks.

"Everyone, it's been almost three to four years since I met you all. Some of you fought monster hordes with me, some of you killed monsters in ruins with me, some of you grew with me along the way, some of you gave me help and love, and some of you went through life and death with me. I'm lucky to have friends like all of you. It's destiny."

"Lin Huang, you're making me bashful by saying that," Fatty scratched his head and said rather shamelessly.

"To me, it's my honor to have seen you grow," Yi Zheng said in all seriousness.

"I knew that you'd succeed back then, but never had I thought your growth would be so tremendous. You've only spent less than four years getting to where you are now." Yi Yeyu was emotional thinking about how Lin Huang had been only a rookie under her when they met.

"You've saved my life twice," Leng Yuexin said while smiling faintly, "I'm the lucky one, no matter what."

"I owe you my life too." Xiao Mo pumped his chest.

Chan Dou reminisced with a smile. "You told me that I took care of you before, but I don't remember that. All that I know is that you took care of me when I lost my memory."

Li Lang, who was dressed in a white suit as if he was getting married, raised his glass high. "We've fought together more than once, and we've risked our lives for each other. Let's not get emotional and drink up!"

Liu Ming spoke to Mr. Fu through voice transmission while looking around the crowded table, "They're all great kids."

Mr. Fu nodded and smiled. He picked his glass up and downed it.

Besides Lin Huang and the rest, even Lin Xin, who had never touched alcohol, picked up her fruit cocktail and drained it.

"This is actually a farewell." Lin Huang only spoke slowly after drinking, "I'll leave the gravel world in two days. I'm going to the great world to find a solution to solve the gravel world's disaster."

Apart from Mr. Fu, everyone was stunned.

"Are you going into the virtual zone?" Liu Ming was the first to respond. He subsequently turned his head to peek at Mr. Fu. He seemed to be confused about why Mr. Fu would allow Lin Huang to go on a suicide mission.

"Must you go into the virtual zone?" Yi Zheng frowned and asked.

Lin Huang nodded lightly. "At the moment, the virtual zone is the only way known to get to the great world."

"I heard that none of the people who entered the virtual zone came back alive." Yi Yeyu was concerned too.

"In reality, not everyone who entered the virtual zone is dead. From what I know, only two survived," Lin Huang explained, "One is a Master God from God Bless. He came from this gravel world and went to the great world through the virtual zone. Another one would be the demigod, Qi Muxiong. I found out from his inherited memory that he's been to the virtual zone too."

"I personally speculate that the reason why nobody survived the virtual zone isn't that all who entered it is dead. It's most likely that the virtual zone is a one-way street. There's no turning back as soon as one enters."

"If that's the case, even if you manage to survive the virtual zone and enter the great world, when exactly will you be back?" Leng Yuexin asked.

"At the moment, I'm thinking of finding another way to get back. That's the second thing that I need to do when I get to the great world apart from finding the source of the disaster. I must come back before the disaster arrives!"

"I personally think that you should stay and spend one to two years developing the alliance between Dynasty and the Union Government, Junior Brother. We might be able to survive the disaster then," Liu Ming offered his personal opinion.

"I've considered what you said too, but that's not going to eradicate the issue. The civilization of our gravel world has been destroyed over and over again because the disaster comes over and over again. To eradicate the problem, finding the source in the great world will be the only way. Our world will only be safe if we've found the source of the problem." Lin Huang thought further.

"Can't Grandpa Fu seal the crack in the Abyss Brink again?" Lin Xin could not help but ask softly.

"Silly girl, it's not as simple as you think." Mr. Fu shook his head while forcing a smile to soften the blow of the truth.

"In reality, the seal at the crack isn't to seal the crack. I can't even seal that crack with my current combat strength. We told the people that the seal works just to give them relief. The true function of the seal is just to prevent some weak monsters from entering our world through the crack. The thing that's really blocking armies from invading is the will of this gravel world. When the will of the world can't stop the crack from expanding, the True Gods from outside will enter from the crack. The seal won't be able to stop them."

In reality, Lin Huang learned about the truth about the crack from Wu Mo. Mr. Fu aside, even a seal combining some True Gods from the ancient era could not do anything to the crack.

"I'm going to the great world this time to find out why the crack appeared. As soon as I find the reason the crack has appeared, then I can find a solution to prevent it from cracking again."

"But there are just too many uncertainties. We're not sure if the virtual zone can really bring one to the great world. Even if you make it to the great world, returning is a problem. Also, we don't know whether you can find the reason why the crack formed and whether it can be stopped from cracking again." Liu Ming raised more doubts.

"These unknown matters will remain unknown forever if nobody finds out." Everyone fell into silence for a long time as soon as Lin Huang said that.

Someone must take the first step to find out more about the uncertainties. Even if Lin Huang did not do that, someone would in the future.

"In reality, there's another reason for me to go to the great world," Lin Huang added, "My cultivation method is rather unique, so it's difficult for me to elevate my combat strength if I stay in the gravel world. If I stay, I might not be able to elevate a rank within a year. However, I might be able to elevate to virtual god-level in the great world within a year."

At the moment, Mr. Fu finally spoke to mediate the situation, "A man should have ambitions. I agree that Lin Huang should venture into the great world. This gravel world is too small for him. Just like that saying, 'shallow water can't feed a dragon'. I think the great world is Lin Huang's stage, and I believe that he'll succeed in the great world!"

"I think so too," Lin Huang said shamelessly while smirking, "Alright, let's not talk about me. Let's talk about something else."

The heavy atmosphere was lifted much more after the master and disciple said that.

Although the atmosphere was nothing compared to the beginning, it was much better than before. They continued to chat.

It was almost 8.30 p.m. when dinner ended. The chefs and bartenders had left the Emperor's Palace over half an hour ago.

Seeing that almost all the dishes were finished on the table, Lin Huang stood up while raising his glass. "This is the last toast. There's a gift for everyone after we drink."

Everyone stood up with their glasses raised, and they finished their drinks.

The dinner finally came to an end officially.

"Alright, it's time for presents." Lin Huang walked to Yi Zheng and pointed a finger to his forehead.

Almost at the same time, he contacted Xiao Hei. "Use a Flawless Card. The target is Yi Zheng."

As a Flawless Card penetrated Yi Zheng's body with a golden glow, he sensed the changes in his body immediately. He quickly sat with his legs crossed.

The rest looked at Yi Zheng in confusion. They did not see the golden glow from the Flawless Card. All they saw was Lin Huang pointing at Yi Zheng's forehead.

Subsequently, Lin Huang walked to Yi Yeyu and pointed a finger on her forehead. He used the second Flawless Card.

Later on, Lin Huang used a Flawless Card on Leng Yuexin, Li Lang, Liu Ming, Chan Dou, Xiao Mo, Yin Hangyi, and Lin Xin respectively.

In the Emperor's Palace, apart from Lin Huang and Mr. Fu, the rest sat with their legs crossed while sensing the changes in their bodies.

Chan Dou and the rest woke up one after another around midnight. They gaped at Lin Huang in surprise.

"Lin Huang, what did you do? I sense that my talent and qualification have gone through a massive boost!" Yi Yeyu asked while widening her eyes.

"Nothing much. It's just a trick, but I can only do it once." Naturally, Lin Huang was unwilling to explain further.

"All of you are on immortal-level, so you can cultivate ancient methods instead," Lin Huang said to Yi Yeyu and the rest, "Master will examine which cultivation direction you guys are more suited for throughout the next two days and teach you guys the methods ]then."

Lin Huang had spoken to Mr. Fu a few days before. He had also shared the methods he obtained and those that Bloody created with Mr. Fu.

"Xiao Mo, although your body has been modified by the Crow God whereby it's close to perfect-stage demigod-level while your combat strength is on imperial-level purple gold-rank, there's no Life Palace in your body. Just continue to cultivate the set of methods that I gave you earlier.

"As for Boss Chan, you seemed to have elevated to imperial-level by cultivating the ancient methods that I gave you earlier. I think you might have lost consciousness when you were taken by God Bless while your subconscious mind cultivated the methods on its own. With your firm base, you've managed to build your foundation naturally and elevated to imperial-level. Just continue to cultivate the methods. You don't have to cultivate other ancient methods," Lin Huang said and looked at Liu Ming.

"Senior Brother, you've elevated to imperial-level and consolidated your Life Palace. You only have two choices if you'd like to elevate to virtual god-level. You either break your Life Palace and rebuild a new foundation or you get Master to help you to break through to virtual god-level when you get to demigod-level. Both ways are similar whereby breaking and consolidating Godheads is required. It's your choice."

"How about me? I feel that my qualifications have been boosted too," Fatty asked immediately after seeing that Lin Huang had a plan for everyone.

"It depends on where you want to go." Lin Huang turned around and looked at Yin Hangyi. "If you'd like to cultivate, you can learn from Master. If you'd like to become a Food Hunter, you can establish a restaurant in Emperor City.

"No matter what you choose, I personally suggest that you stay in Emperor City with the old lady. Bring your aunty and the rest. As for the restaurants, sell them. Baqi City is just a grade-C foothold after all. It's nothing compared to Emperor City. Keep your house, so you can stay there when you visit the city again. Settle the rest of the properties."

Fatty was encouraged when he heard the advice but he hesitated. "Give me some time to think about it."

In reality, Lin Huang knew that Fatty was uncertain because he was concerned about his grandmother.

However, he knew the old lady's character well enough. She definitely would not do anything that would slow Fatty down. She might even ask him to stay in Emperor City.

After he was done planning for his friends, Lin Huang walked to Lin Xin. "Silly girl, learn from Master properly. Read more, play less."

"Mm-hmm." Tears were flowing from her eyes. "Brother, you must come back!"

"I definitely will within a year!" Lin Huang patted Lin Xin's head with a grin. "I can't leave such a cute sister like you behind."

The 20th of March was the day the entrance to the virtual zone was opened.

Lin Huang rushed to the third layer of the Abyss Brink after bidding farewell with Mr. Fu and Lin Xin.

This time, the virtual zone would be opened at the deepest part in the third layer of the Abyss Brink.

Lin Huang only found the entrance after summoning Bloody to spread her Leech Pods all around the third layer of the Abyss Brink.

There was a black whirlpool two meters in diameter that looked like a mini black hole in the cave. Powerhouses who managed to get to the third layer of the Abyss Brink would basically know what this cave was. If one really saw this, one would definitely avoid it. However, Lin Huang summoned Thunder and headed straight into the whirlpool after confirming its coordinates.

Lin Huang grinned and leaped when he arrived above the whirlpool. After recalling Thunder and Bloody into their card forms, he stepped into it.

After a moment of blurred vision, Lin Huang had a barren land in his field of sight when he snapped back to his senses.

He looked far away. There was not even a single plant on the cracked and burned land. The land that he was standing on was not a complete continent. It was more like an island floating in mid-air.

There were many islands of all sizes floating around the island. The only similarity they shared was that they were all charred.

As he observed his surroundings quietly, Lin Huang recalled returning to the gravel world all of a sudden. He turned around and looked to notice that the dimensional entrance earlier had vanished.

"Just like what I speculated, the virtual zone is a one-way street. There's only going in, no going out. No wonder so many people never returned after they entered."

However, Lin Huang could not understand why would the entrance vanish after one entered the virtual zone. So, how did demigod Qi Muxiong return to the mini world?

He thought about it and since he could not come up with anything, he spread his Divine Telekinesis all over in a wave.

After elevating to imperial-level, the radius of his territory had expanded to a hundred kilometers. Now that he had arrived at imperial-level rank-3, the radius had grown to 300 kilometers.

Meanwhile, the search range of his Divine Telekinesis had increased ten times more than the radius of his territory, whereby it went up to 3,000 kilometers. It was even farther than the search range of Grimace's Divine Telekinesis despite the fact that he was already on Virtual God rank-2.

However, Lin Huang only sensed a couple of monsters within 3,000 kilometers after a round of searching.

There were less than 30 monsters combined within over 28 million square kilometers. Most of them were on either holy fire-level or immortal-level.

Lin Huang was puzzled. "Such monster density and combat strength… Did I enter a fake virtual zone?"

One must know that to the gravel world, the virtual zone was the No. 1 forbidden area known to the public. Legend was that it was filled with god-level monsters, thus even a virtual god-level powerhouse's life would be at risk after entering.

However, now it seemed like this was completely different from the legend.

Apart from little monsters and floating islands of all sizes, Lin Huang did not find out anything else within the range of his Divine Telekinesis. He was unsure where he should head to.

Feeling helpless, he summoned Bloody. "I found nothing, so I can only rely on you."

Bloody nodded and began spreading her Leech Pods out. A sea of invisible Leech Pods spread everywhere.

Lin Huang took two chairs out from his storage ring and sat down. He waited patiently for Bloody's search results while chatting with her.

His Emperor's Heart Ring lost all of its functions in this virtual zone, including the ability to take out and store items. Fortunately, Lin Huang prepared ahead, so he moved everything into the ring from the great world.

Many storage rings that he had obtained from the Royal Trials came from the great world. Before his departure, he picked one which material and model was inconspicuous to avoid grabbing attention from people when he arrived in the great world as he did not want unnecessary trouble.

Lin Huang was not afraid of the trouble that might come. However, he only had one year, so it would be best to have less trouble. Avoiding unnecessary trouble would give him more time to deal with important matters.

Around half an hour later, Bloody finally had news.

"I cast parasites on a few local monsters and obtained the rough situation and map of this virtual zone. To confirm the accuracy of the map in their heads, I got the rest of the Leech Pods to look around. The preliminary check has verified that the maps in their heads are accurate."

"This virtual zone we're currently in is very vast. It's almost 1/40 to 1/30 the size of a gravel world. We're currently in the barren area in the west of this virtual zone. You will see Shelter No. 1that's closest to us around 30,000 kilometers to the east.

"The so-called Shelter is similar to a human foothold the monsters created in the virtual zone. In reality, the name 'Shelter' came from the cities the Protoss built in the great world. These monsters borrowed the name and applied it in the virtual zone.

"There are approximately a million monsters in Shelter No. 1. There are three virtual god-level monsters guarding in it, but I'm unsure about their exact combat strength."

"How do monsters in this Shelter feel about humans?" Lin Huang asked.

"I'm not too sure. The few monsters that I cast parasites on are refugees wandering in a farther area. They've limited information about the Shelter.

"At the moment, we only know that the fighting and killing monsters outside the Shelter is allowed. Furthermore, the monsters outside out the Shelter are very aggressive when they see humans. Humans are practically their No. 1 prey. In other words, the preliminary speculation should be that monsters aren't too friendly towards humans even in the Shelter."

Lin Huang nodded lightly and then looked at Bloody. "According to the total size of the virtual zone that you obtained, there should be many Shelters like this, shouldn't there?"

"There are at least a hundred of them in all sizes. The largest one is the Central Shelter located in the central area of the virtual zone. I heard there are over 30 million monsters and there seems to be true god-level monsters guarding the area."

"It's almost similar to a slightly larger grade-B foothold in the gravel world." Before entering, Lin Huang never expected the virtual zone to have cities. Besides that, a city would have tens of millions in population. "These monsters must have intelligence nothing lower than humans to be able to build such large Shelters."

"According to their minds, do they have a way of heading to the great world?" Lin Huang asked again.

"No. I intentionally looked for related information in their heads, but there's nothing." Bloody shook her head. "However, if this virtual zone really connects to the great world, the people who know the way would most probably be in the Central Shelter."

"How far is the Central Shelter from where we are?" Lin Huang asked immediately.

"Over 400,000 kilometers away," Bloody answered, "But I suggest that we should familiarize ourselves with other Shelters first and get the basic information. We'll only go to the Central Shelter when we're more prepared."

"Sure!" Lin Huang nodded in agreement.

Chapter 1214: Shelter

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Since Lin Huang was unsure about how humans would be treated at the Shelter, he used a Transformation Card before entering to avoid unnecessary trouble. He transformed himself into Grimace.

However, he changed what Grimace was wearing.

The exquisite and sophisticated black robe with golden patterns did not have any more golden patterns on it. It was pure black now while the bottom of the robe was longer. It hung all the way to his ankles, covering his entire body.

At first, the black gentleman's hat on his head had a circlet of diamonds mounted on it. Lin Huang removed the adornment so that only the hat remained.

He also took off the golden mask that Grimace usually wore on half of his face.

The same happened to the white gloves that Grimace wore on his hands. Lin Huang removed them, revealing his fair hands. The pair of hands had long, slender fingers that looked like a pianist's.

The black walking stick in his right hand was changed into a normal wooden one.

Bloody, who was with him, also changed into a heavy, red robe. She covered her beautiful figure entirely and wore a mask on her face to cover her features.

They disguised in such a low profile to avoid unnecessary attention.

However, Lin Huang and Bloody never would have thought that all their efforts would be in vain.

There were at least 30 monsters of all kinds that seemed like humans queuing obediently at the entrance. It was a long queue at the entrance of the Shelter.

Seeing those monsters lining up, Lin Huang and Bloody naturally joined the queue at the back.

They did not expect the scorpion monster that was queuing before them to give up its queue upon seeing both of them. It went behind them instead.

Later on, the second and third monsters before them gave up their spots to them one after another.

In confusion, Lin Huang and Bloody stepped ahead of the queue.

At the moment, the four guards at the entrance came up to them. The leading one was a spider monster with human heads with a combat strength only being on immortal-level rank-4 or rank-5.

This spider monster with legs that were seven to eight meters long had a few capsules that resembled human heads. It ambled to them slowly. "I never expected both Masters to arrive. Please enter!"

The four guards retreated to the sides after the leader said that to show them the way to the entrance.

Lin Huang glanced at Bloody. Noticing that she was in deep thoughts, he did not ask her anything. Instead, he turned his head and nodded at the leading spider monster with human heads. He then walked into the Shelter in long strides.

Bloody followed him into the Shelter.

Lin Huang only asked Bloody through voice transmission after they entered the Shelter, "What was that?"

"The few guards only had immortal-level combat strength. Theoretically, they shouldn't be able to sense our combat strength. Those monsters that were queuing had even lower combat strength," Bloody explained, "I'm guessing they must have guessed our levels. To monsters below mythical-level, a quadruple mutated mythical-level monster would have a certain level of suppression against them. They can clearly sense such suppression on their souls."

As the duo chatted through voice transmission, Lin Huang discerned many monsters of all forms around observing him and Bloody.

He studied the monsters further to realize that Bloody and he were the only two creatures on two feet.

The other creatures in the Shelter were either flying in the sky or crawling on the ground. Almost none of them walked on both feet like them.

"I thought we wouldn't be noticed if we changed, but it seems like I was too naive," Lin Huang whispered embarrassedly.

"It isn't a bad thing," Bloody replied with a smile, "Since we can't stay low-profile, there's no need for us to spy around. We can just speak to the Shelter guardians."

"I guess that's the only way. We must've stepped into the sights of this Shelter's guardians now. They'd think that we're up to something if we proceed with sneaking around." Lin Huang nodded in agreement with Bloody's suggestion.

He soon found the guardians' location after he spread his Divine Telekinesis. They stepped out and appeared at the building where the guardians were.

The building was clearly built by humans judging from its style. Lin Huang could not help but raise an eyebrow.

The building before them was a ruin. Only about 30 floors that were close to the ground was all that remained. Lin Huang did not think too much about it before this. Now that he had seen the building, he realized that this Shelter was built on a human ruin.

A voice came all of a sudden when the duo peered up. "I didn't expect VIPs to visit us today."

As the voice rang out, three silhouettes came out of the building almost at the same time. They landed slowly on the ground.

The leader was a human monster with a grimacing mask. Its body was covered in a loose, black robe, so nobody could tell if it was a male or female. It had a long, black tail behind and the body of a monster with many legs. Furthermore, its body was separated into segments. The tip of its tail was a spear-like sting.

The second monster was a white-haired ape. It looked weak with slender limbs, and it held a black walking stick that looked like a branch in its hand.

The third monster was a fish monster. It had the body of a human but a head that looked a little like a catfish's. Although it had human limbs, its clearly exposed hands had scales on them.

Among the three monsters, the fish monsters and the ape monster had Virtual God rank-3 combat strength. The black-robed monster in the mask that had spoken earlier was on Virtual God rank-4.

Although one could not determine its gender under the black robe, one could distinguish that it should be a male from the voice.

"We're sorry to disturb you." Lin Huang chose to respond courteously seeing that the three monsters had no hostility although they had their guards up. He nodded slightly at the three of them.

"I wonder what's the purpose of your visit. Pray, tell." The monster in the mask was still cautious and did not get any closer.

"We actually fell into this place unintentionally. We thought we could ask for information seeing there's a Shelter nearby. We have no other intentions. All we want to know is the way to get back to the great world."

The three monsters glanced at each other after hearing Lin Huang say what sounded somewhat truthful. They put their guards down gradually.

"So, you guys are the new people who just entered the virtual zone. I can only say that it's unfortunate for you guys to have fallen into the virtual zone."

"What do you mean?" Lin Huang asked while frowning a little.

"This place is called the virtual zone. It's a land where the Space Rule is messed up. There are always space tunnels of all sorts opening here, but it's very difficult to figure out where exactly they lead to. Moreover, even if it's the tunnel that leads to the great world, nobody knows where in the great world it would send you to," the monster in the mask explained while smiling. "In other words, for you guys to return to where you came from is as difficult as reaching the stars."

Lin Huang and Bloody would never have thought that the virtual zone was such a place.

Lin Huang asked again after falling into silence for a moment while frowning, "Is there really no way for us to go back?"

"It's not that there's no way. In this virtual zone, there's only one person that can send you to the place you desire in the great world. The thing is, it's hard to say if that person is willing to help."

"Who is that?!" Lin Huang asked immediately.

"The Butterfly Sovereign at the Central Shelter!"

Chapter 1215: The Early Bird Catches the Worm

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After chatting with the three guardians, Lin Huang left Shelter No.1 with Bloody.

In reality, he secretly got the Nightmare Tapir to read the trio's minds as they chatted. With the Nightmare Tapir's ability that was comparable to a True God's, everything was practically invisible. The monster in the mask and the rest did not notice that they were dragged into the Nightmare Tapir's dreamland at all.

With the three guardians' memories, the duo had no reason to stay at the Shelter to spy around anymore.

After they left up to 10,000 kilometers away from the Shelter, Lin Huang summoned the Nightmare Tapir again and got it to share the trio's memories.

Lin Huang smiled after scanning through the trio's memories. "Although those three fellas kept something a secret, at least, what they told us was the truth. That's actually considered not bad. Judging from this, monsters are more trustworthy than humans."

"Naturally, there's no need for them to lie since there's no conflict in benefits." On the other hand, Bloody expected this.

Lin Huang grinned and refused to comment further. He then shifted the subject to the serious matter. "According to the three guardians' memories, there are three sovereigns in the central zone. They are the rulers of the entire virtual zone, whereby they're true god-level powerhouses. Among them, the Butterfly Sovereign has the weakest ability. She's only a first-rank True God. However, she's an expert in the Space Rule. She has set coordinates leading to the great world and is the only powerhouse that can send people out of the virtual zone. The other two monsters are second-rank True Gods. Due to the lack of resources in the virtual zone, the three of them aren't on peaceful terms. I'm guessing the Butterfly Sovereign won't let us go easily if we go to her."

"We can always make a trade." Nonetheless, Bloody was not worried. "There must be something she desires that we can give her. I believe she won't decline our business if there's something she wants that we have."

"That's true, but something that a True God desires must be difficult to obtain." Lin Huang forced a grim smile while shaking his head. "If it's really something that she can get easily, she would've gotten it already. There's no need for her to beg from others."

"That makes sense." Bloody nodded.

"But we can't make her send us away by force. There'll be even more trouble if she sends us to a barren mini-world." Lin Huang had thought of solving the issue with violence, but he was afraid that the Butterfly Sovereign would do something nasty to them.

"Let's see what exactly she wants. We'll think of other ways if the condition that she suggests is really too much," said Bloody, turning her head to look at Lin Huang. "Do you want to look for Qi Muxiong's ruin first? Or do we go to the Central Shelter first?"

"Let's go to the ruin first. We'll find the Butterfly Sovereign after we get our stuff." Lin Huang thought about it and said, "If we go to the Central Shelter first and the Butterfly Sovereign agrees to send us away directly, we might not have the time to go to the ruin by then."

"You're being too optimistic." Bloody faked a smile on her face.

"I mean, what if. After all, we can't rule out such a possibility." Lin Huang mumbled after he said that, "The Butterfly Sovereign is female. It's possible that she becomes easygoing if she falls in love with Grimace's disguise. Grimace's face is considered the most handsome male creature in the world."

Bloody pouted and muttered softly, feeling annoyed, "I don't think he's that handsome."

"What did you say?"

"I mean, what if the Butterfly Sovereign really falls in love with Grimace and is unwilling to let us go?" Bloody changed her words immediately.

"Then, I'll get Grimace to stay. Since I have 30 summoning authorities, losing him doesn't matter. If I really need him one day, I'll summon him back," Lin Huang said casually.

Grimace had absolutely no idea that he had become Lin Huang and Bloody's subject of discussion. Furthermore, the discussion revolved around ideas to sell him off.

After the duo chatted, Lin Huang simulated the map projection of the virtual zone with his Divine Power. He retrieved the 3D map from the three guardians' heads. It was undoubtedly more detailed than the one that Bloody obtained through the Leech Pods earlier.

"We're currently here." Lin Huang pointed at the western region on the map as it formed. He marked an 'X' and an 'O' all the way down on the right at the border close to the southern region. "According to Qi Muxiong's memories, the ruin should be around here. It's in the southeastern of the entire virtual zone close to the southern border, close to the bottom region."

"According to the monster's memories, the south of the virtual zone is in ruins. There are broken floating islands everywhere with no signs of humans." Bloody studied the location Lin Huang pointed at. "That might be the reason why he chose to stay there."

"Can you roughly calculate the distance?" Lin Huang asked.

"It's around 530,000 kilometers, a little farther than getting to the Central Shelter," Bloody estimated after merely peeking at it.

"Then, let's go!" Lin Huang nodded and summoned Thunder.

With its indigo feathers and golden patterns on its body, Thunder saw the mark on the map that Lin Huang circled with its purple-golden eyes.

"Let's go if you've familiarized yourself with the map." Lin Huang and Bloody hopped onto Thunder's back.

He only disintegrated the map made of Divine Power in the air after Thunder flapped its wings.

Thunder gave this flight across over 50,000 kilometers its all. They finally arrived two hours later.

However, Lin Huang could not help but frown when they were thousands of kilometers away from the coordinates. With his Divine Telekinesis, he could sense that the area of the coordinates had been sealed with a shield.

Lin Huang and Bloody finally saw the crystal shield when they arrived close to the coordinates.

The sphere covered a large space around the area. It was like a planet made of semitransparent crystals floating mid-air.

"They knew about the ruin." Lin Huang frowned deeply. To him, the virtual zone locals finding out about the ruin was bad news.

"This is clearly done by a True God." Bloody knew that she could not break the shield just by scanning it with her Divine Telekinesis.

"This should be the work of the Dragon Sovereign," Lin Huang concluded directly.

There were only three True Gods in the virtual zone. Among the three, the one that was expert in the Ice Element God Rule would be the Frost Dragon which was also named the Dragon Sovereign.

"They'll definitely notice us if we break the shield by force." Bloody turned her head to look at Lin Huang. "The best thing to do is not to alert our enemy."

"Don't worry. I'm not that impulsive," Lin Huang said expressionlessly, "The Frost Dragon is a quadruple mutated dragonkin while his combat strength is second-rank True God. It'd take a lot of effort if I were to fight him."

"Let's go to the Central Shelter instead. Let's ask around about the shield and see if there's any way for us to get in," Lin Huang said and patted Thunder which let out a soft hum and flapped its wings. With the duo on its back, iIt flew at a high speed to the Central Shelter!
