Chapter 1821: Skyrocketing Abilities
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Lin Huang finally understood why this level was called dominator-level after examining the changes from the elevation thoroughly.
As his Kingdom integrated with the universe's Heavenly Dao, the entire universe had become a part of his Kingdom.
All he needed was to focus, and he would be able to see anything about the universe.
Not only that, he could examine everything that had happened in the universe as he wished.
In the universe, he could borrow all of the Dao seal power of the entire universe.
The number of Dao seals in the universe was not only the total number of Dao seals the existing Lords and powerhouses above lord- level had consolidated, but also included the Dao seals that the Lords and powerhouses above lord- level had consolidated throughout all of the past eras.
The quantity had far surpassed the number of Dao seals Lin Huang had consolidated himself , and was even higher than the total number of Dao seals he had in his Kingdom.
One could almost say that Lin Huang was almost invincible in the universe.
He could use the force of the entire universe directly.
The current him could destroy the entire Eastern Eight Zone with a flip of his hand. He could even restart the entire universe directly, destroying all living beings.
He definitely could not have done this in the past.
Apart from being invincible in the universe, Lin Huang could also feel that his Odyl had undergone a transformation after being elevated to dominator-level.
He learned from the information Heavenly Dao sent him that, after elevating to dominator-level, one's Odyl would transform into Heavenly Dao Odyl. It was also called Heavenly Dao power or Dominator power.
It was a power that only dominator-level powerhouses possessed. The power far surpassed ciao-level powerhouses' Odyl.
If one had to compare the two, it was almost equivalent to the difference between a paper blade and a refined steel blade.
Dominator-level Heavenly Dao power was almost immortal and indestructible if it did not come in contact with other Heavenly Dao power, The reason being was that Heavenly Dao power could assimilate and absorb other kinds of energy.
After learning about the existence of Heavenly Dao power, the first thing Lin Huang thought of was Abyssal energy,
"Abyssal energy possesses the same characteristic too. It should also be a type of Heavenly Dao power. It's just that it doesn't seem to be as powerful as the real Heavenly Dao power…" As soon as Lin Huang thought of that, all sorts of information about the Abyss rushed into his head, This was the effect of Heavenly Dao integrating with his Kingdom, It would browse for information about anything he would like to know about automatically.
"I see…" Lin Huang understood instantly after reading through the information
I seew • Lin Huang understood instantly after reading through the information
about Abyssal energy quickly.The so-called Abyssal energy is actually the energy derived from Aza's Heavenly Dao Power.
The energy contained certain characteristics of Aza's Heavenly Dao Power, yet it was not as powerful as actual Heavenly Dao Power.
Nevertheless , the derived energy alone could contaminate and assimilate all living beings below dominator-level-Apart from the transformation in Lin Huang's Odyl, his physical body and God's soul's particles were transformed too. Even he had no idea what level his physical body and God's soul was on right now.
Also, the transformation in his God's soul also brought about the transformation of his Divine Telekinesis.
His current Divine Telekinesis had been transformed to an entirely new level completely; it had even entered the level of creatiom
Within his Kingdom, he could even create a galaxy and great world directly with a his thoughts alone.
Outside his Kingdom, his Divine Telekinesis became invisible and untraceable
No living beings under dominator-level could capture or sense the existence of his Divine Telekinesis.
Not only that, his Divine Telekinesis could attack directly with his thoughts alone. This was unlike before, where he had to use his Divine Telekinesis threads to control the God Weapon flying daggers to attack, which could be seen and traced. Instead, there were no longer any movement trajectories. The attack would happen with a single thought. There was no longer a process or signal that preempted the attack Apart from an all-round elevation in those aspects, the God Weapons in Lin Huang's body were also elevated.
At that moment, he had finally learned about the grading system for treasures from Heavenly Dao.
The sequence, from low to high , was spiritual treasure, precious treasure, exotic treasure, supreme treasure, innate supreme treasure , chaotic supreme Spiritual treasures were usually equipment used by minor dao- level powerhouses. precious treasures were usually used by major dao- level powerhouses. Exotic treasures basically could only be used by powerhouses at and above heavenly dao- level. Meanwhile, Dominator power was required to use supreme treasures. To dominator- level powerhouses, innate supreme treasures were treasures that were worth fighting for. For the higher grade chaotic innate supreme treasures, only top dominator -level powerhouses at rank- 4 and rank- 5 could own them.
Lin Huang had also just found out that his God Weapons had transformed into innate supreme treasures before this.
They were even considered top grade among innate supreme treasures.
He could only use them because the God Weapons were already a part of his body. Also, his Odyl was indeed much more powerful than heavenly dao- level powerhouses.
Nevertheless , he also realized that he had not unleashed the God Weapons' true power at all. He merely used them as ordinary pieces of equipment. It was almost as if he had been using God Weapons that were in their dormant state.
He did not activate them at all.
Now that he had been elevated to dominator-level officially, these God Weapons had been transformed even further, and their grade was elevated to chaotic supreme treasures.
One had to know that chaotic supreme treasures were precious even to dominator- level rank-4 and rank- 5 powerhouses.
Meanwhile, Lin Huang possessed four of them, which was a full set.
Lin Huang knew his limits. He knew that he could not unleash the true power of the chaotic supreme treasures with his current ability.
Even if they were innate supreme treasures, he might only be able to unleash one-tenth or two-tenths of their power; this percentage was even less for chaotic supreme treasures.
He also searched for information on how to use supreme treasures in Heavenly
Dao's database. Very soon, he found a method to gradually activate them.
To put it simply, as soon as he activated a portion of these supreme treasures , he would be able to unleash their power.
It was not difficult to learn to do that.
Lin Huang picked the easiest one after reading through them. After simulating
it mentally once or twice, he set up a shield and immediately tried it out.
Imbuing a portion of Dominator Power into his God's soul energy , he began to insert it into the God Weapon battle sword in his hand.
The God Weapon battle sword sensed the attempt at communication coming from Lin Huang's God's soul. Very soon, a portion of its consciousness was awakened.
Lin Huang communicated with God's soul directly to inform it of his plan of gradual activation. The later steps became much easier after that.
Initially, this method of activation, according to the records, had a very low success rate. The reason being was that all supreme treasures possessed a consciousness of their own. Many had unique characters and personalities.
However, the God Weapons in Lin Huang's body were cultivated by him from the very beginning. Naturally, there was no issue with his communication.
As the God Weapon took the initiative to cooperate, all of the Odyl in Lin Huang's body began to rush into it. Very soon, the first stage of activation was completed.
After that, he used all of the Odyl in his Kingdom and began the second stage of activation.
Soon after, he used the energy of the entire universe to perform the third stage of activation.
As Lin Huang completed the three stages of activation, he named them First Stage Unsealing, Second Stage Unsealing and Third Stage Unsealing.
However, he knew that, even when he achieved Third Stage Unsealing, he would likely only be able to activate less than 1/10000 of the power of the chaotic God Weapom
After activating the battle sword, Lin Huang did the same for his God Weapon flying daggers, Soul Weapon and battle armor.
He only retrieved his consciousness from inside his body after completing all
He stared deeply at the sky above. •I'll have to handle the mess the Black Abyss has caused next„•
Chapter 1822: The Joy Only Lasted for a Short Time

Lin Huang had finally learned many secrets about the Black Abyss from Heavenly Dao.
In reality, nothing could escape Heavenly Dao as long as it happened in the universe.
Even if they used all sorts of shielding techniques and even supreme treasures to block probing techniques, it was still visible to Heavenly Dao.
This gave Lin Huang the opportunity to observe the Black Abyss' many internal meetings as an outsider through Heavenly Dao's eyes.
He finally understood their real objective.
The Black Abyss' objective was to open up a channel between the Abyss and the universe to allow the Abyssal army passage here, to contaminate the entire universe, and even contaminate Heavenly Dao. In the end, they would get Aza's clone to refine Heavenly Dao to master this chaotic cosmos.
This refinement was also a forced refinement.
If Heavenly Dao was unwilling to cooperate with the integration process, Aza would use His Dominator Power to occupy and assimilate the entire chaotic cosmos, cutting off Heavenly Dao's authority over the chaotic cosmos, and then he would refine Heavenly Dao by force.
Under normal circumstances, as soon as the first step, which was the assimilation process, was successful, the success rate of the forced refinement later on would be quite high.
However, the Black Abyss' current plan had clearly been foiled.
This was because Lin Huang had integrated the universe's Heavenly Dao, becoming the Dominator of the universe.
As long as he was alive, even if the entire universe was contaminated with Abyssal energy, Aza's clone could not refine Heavenly Dao.
Not only that, since Lin Huang had found out about the Black Abyss' plan, naturally, it was impossible that he would just watch those people try to contaminate the entire universe.
"Is that thing… really only Aza's clone?" Lin Huang instantly recalled his two encounters of falling into darkness after looking through everything about the Black Abyss.
Especially the second time. The strange red glow merely lit up, and he was killed without even noticing.
Were it not for the Substitute Card, he would have died that time.
Although the current him could simply use a finger to kill the old him before elevating to dominator-level, it was basically impossible for him to do so without warning.
Moreover, even though he had been elevated to dominator-level, he could not figure out what that person did exactly.
He had thought that it had been Aza Himself.
He had only learned from the Black Abyss now that it was only one of Aza's clones.
Not only that, according to the information Black Abyss revealed, Aza had tens of thousands of such clones.
Some had already awakened in the other chaotic cosmoses in the infinite universe.
Aza's clone in the universe was currently half asleep. He had yet to be awakened completely.
Nevertheless, it was clear that the half-asleep clone had a level of ability that was far more powerful than Lin Huang who had achieved dominator-level.
He could not help but frown when he realized this fact.
He had also learned much information about Aza's clone from the Black Abyss.
He, who was half asleep, might wake up anytime.
There were even some techniques to accelerate His awakening.
For instance, many sacrifices.
The more powerful the level of ability of the living beings they sacrificed, and the larger the quantity, the more it would accelerate His awakening.
Although the Black Abyss had never mentioned it, Lin Huang was a little concerned that the deaths of many Black Abyss members might cause His awakening to accelerate as well.
The reason being was that all of their official members had been given the God's soul brand from Aza's clone. The death of those members would trigger the brand to send a signal to the brand's creator—which was Aza's clone, along with the scene of their death.
The unusual activation of that many brands would definitely alert Aza's clone.
On a certain level, it might accelerate the awakening of Aza's clone.
Lin Huang was also thinking that, if his speculation was right, what he should do exactly in order to face the Black Abyss.
After arriving at no solution despite thinking for a while, he figured he would summon Bloody.
Bloody affirmed his speculation after he described what was going on with the Black Abyss.
"According to the information that you provided, your speculation might be right. If the God's soul brand has some sort of alert mechanism, if too many Black Abyss members died, it might awaken Aza's clone directly."
"So what I'm thinking is that I'll take action directly to capture those official members myself. I'll retrieve their Kingdoms and capture them alive, but I won't kill them," Lin Huang told Bloody what he was thinking.
"Have you considered what might happen if death isn't the only thing that will trigger the brand? For instance, if those people from the Black Abyss were still alive, but not of sound mind. What if that would trigger the brand too?"
"What if sealing them or retrieving the Kingdoms in their bodies would trigger the brand to alert Aza's clone as well? You can't ignore such possibilities entirely."
Lin Huang was stunned to hear what Bloody said. Indeed, he had never thought of that before. He thought things were more troublesome now that she reminded him.
"If that's the case, there's nothing that I can do to the people from the Black Abyss at all."
"Well, it's not completely a no go." Bloody lifted her head to look at Lin Huang. She only continued after pausing for a moment, "You can still act from behind the scenes."
Lin Huang had a rough guess about what she was trying to get at as he listened up to this point, but he still did not understand it entirely. "It doesn't matter. As long as I act personally, it'd still trigger the awakening of Aza's clone if many people from the Black Abyss die or lose their minds."
"What I mean is that you should hide behind the scenes and not show yourself. Reveal their information to the other grade-SSs organizations and get them to fight the Black Abyss, and have them capture as many of them alive as possible. When that happens, Aza's clone won't see or sense you when the
brand is triggered."
"Meanwhile, you can seize the opportunity while the grade-SSS organizations are fighting the Black Abyss to elevate your ability as much as you can. Later on, you can join the fight when Aza's clone comes."
Lin Huang finally understood her thoughts now.
Bloody meant that there was no need for him to waste precious time participating in the early stages of the war.
Instead, he should seize the opportunity to elevate his ability as much as he could so that he would be powerful enough to fight against Aza's clone.
If he did not interfere, the war between the grade-SSS organizations and the Black Abyss definitely would not end within a short period of time.
That would provide a buffer before the battle between him and Aza's clone would take place.
"Aza's clone's ability is at least dominator-level rank-2 or rank-3. Within a short period of time, it's still possible that I can break through to rank-2, but it's quite difficult to break through to rank-3." Lin Huang had witnessed that clone's ability. He thought that the possibility of him catching up within a
short period of time was fairly low.
"Have you ever thought that the final result of the war would actually not be determined by the Black Abyss, but by Aza's clone? If we don't remove the clone from the equation, we will still lose this war in the end."
"According to the information the Black Abyss provided, He is half-asleep and half-awake. Even without stimulation from the outside world, He might wake up anytime. We already learned from all of the revealed information that there's no way to stop Him from waking up. Therefore, there's only one
way to solve this issue—which is to defeat Aza's awakened clone!"
"Got it. I'l try my best."
Lin Huang was quite happy initially to have been elevated to dominator-level. However, the joy only lasted for a short time. He now realized that the responsibility he had to bear was even greater now..
Chapter 1823: The Public Enemies of the Universe
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor:EndlessFantasy Translation
The Eastern 28 Zone in the universe was where the headquarters of the grade-SSS organization, Dragon God Island, was located.
A human-form monster with a dragon head, who was wearing a golden robe, suddenly lowered its head and looked at the golden communication ring on its finger.
"Hmm? A message? From an unknown number… Didn't I already block all unknown numbers?"
The dragon-headed monster checked the message anyway after some slight hesitation.
It was stunned as it read the message.
The reason being was that the message started with "Long Ao is a spy from the Black Abyss".
Long Ao was the Dragon God Island's previous Dragon God.
The dragon-headed monster continued to read the message.
'The message's contents provided a detailed description of the Black Abyss' invasion plans for the universe, as well as some secrets about Aza's clone.
'There was an attachment in the end. It was the complete list of all Black Abyss' official members and reserve members in the Eastern 28 Zone.
The dragon-headed monster, who had been doubtful about whether Long Ao was really a spy from the Black Abyss, instantly felt that the message had greater credibility after he finished reading.
He hesitated for a moment and called the number of the sender. However, it only displayed a notification that the number did not exist.
It was Bloody who suggested Lin Huang to do things this way.
The reason being was that he sent similar messages to hundreds of grade-SSS organizations.
If he were to take their calls and answer them one by one, it would expend a great deal of his time. Not only that, the people might not believe him.
As such, he figured that he would just use a one-time number. He would not accept any calls, and they would be left to investigate the truth of the message on their own.
Lin Huang knew that even if the higher-ups of some of the grade-SSS organizations did not believe the contents of the message, as long as one organization in the star zone investigated and found something, the other grade-SSS organizations would do the same too.
Throughout the day, almost all of the higher-ups of the grade-SSS organizations in the 20 star zones or so in the universe received similar messages.
Apart from the nine star zones that had been occupied by the Black Abyss, Lin Huang had informed all of them, including all of the star zones in which the Black Abyss had set up branches in.
He did not limit the information to the grade-SSS organizations, and even informed the higher-ups of the grade-Ss and grade-S organizations that had Black Abyss' reserve members spies among their ranks.
Throughout that one week, the organizations in the over 20 star zones began to investigate the identities of those spies rapidly. They had soon found issues one after the other, verifying that the message Lin Huang sent was accurate.
After capturing those spies, those organizations began to work together and attacked the Black Abyss' branches.
The nine star zones that had fallen soon noticed the unusual situation.
'The members from the branches in the over 20 star zones began to escape to the nine star zones that the Black Abyss had occupied. Some of them escaped to the other star zones.
However, Lin Huang conveniently reported to the grade-SSS organizations about the people who escaped to the relative star zones on the day itself.
Therefore, over ten star zones joined hands and attacked the Black Abyss.
At that moment, Lin Huang added fuel to the fire by sending over the Black Abyss' plan to all of the grade-SSS organizations in the entire universe. He even gave them detailed information about Aza's clone.
Within less than 40 days, besieged by all the organizations in the universe, the remaining Black Abyss members hid in the nine star zones they had occupied. The number of their members had dropped. Including the reserve members, they were only left with some 800 people, which was less than
one-seventh of their initial members.
Throughout the past month, the Black Abyss members had almost constantly been in a daze.
They could not figure out how their identities and the Black Abyss' plans were leaked.
Theoretically, it was only the less than the 300 official members that knew about the real plan.
Meanwhile, among those official members, most of them only were in touch with their partners from the same star zone. They had no interaction with other star zones at all.
Only the few half-step Dominators possessed the list of all the members, and only the few half-step Dominators could leak intel to such a great extent.
Therefore, the remaining few half-step Dominators were all suspicious of each other. The remaining official members now had trust issues when it came to the few half-step Dominators.
Most of the official members that escaped to the star zones occupied by the Black Abyss refused to reveal their coordinates.
They were even unwilling to join the meeting that the few half-step Dominators organized. In the end, they could only hold an online meeting.
During the online meeting, a hot-headed guy even made things difficult for the few half-step Dominators on the spot, directly stating that there was a spy among them who had betrayed everyone.
Since someone said it openly, it was only natural that he got himself some supporters.
A few hot-headed members worked together to criticize the few half-step Dominators.
Since it was an online meeting, the half-step Dominators could not attack them.
The few of them vented all they wanted with that in mind.
Although the few half-step Dominators were pissed off by the criticism, they could not respond in kind. They could only provide assurance and try to convince them otherwise.
The goal of the meeting was to discuss what the Black Abyss would do next.
In the end, few half-step Dominators were forced to cross-examine themselves. The meeting ended without any definite outcome.
Lin Huang saw it all take place.
It was as if the entire universe was inside his Kingdom now.
Naturally, whatever happened inside his Kingdom could not escape his eyes.
He was watching the chaos unfold happily.
Apart from watching the show, he did not actually stay idle throughout that month at all.
Firstly, he contacted Qian Shisan from Fantasy Island. He got rid of all of the heavenly dao-level monster carcasses and the couple of Black Abyss members' bodies and traded them for a batch of Kingdoms.
After refining all of the Kingdoms in the virtual realm, the total number of Dao seals in his body had officially broken through the 20 billion mark. He had 20.2 billion Dao seals now. Meanwhile, the Dao seals in his Kingdom had broken through the 60 billion mark, reaching 61.4 billion Dao seals now.
However, Lin Huang was not exactly satisfied with this round of elevation as his ability did not transform during the process.
He understood that there was only one way to obtain a transformational elevation in his ability since he got to dominator-level, which was to integrate more chaotic cosmoses.
He knew that he had to leave the universe.
Before leaving, he gathered all of his imperial monsters apart from the Bug Tribe.
After elevating all of them to Omniscience rank-7, he also elevated all of their combat strength to the limit of heavenly dao-level.
He also ordered them to capture the Black Abyss members.
The bunch of imperial monsters, whose level of ability had been increased significantly, joined the mission to capture the Black Abyss members enthusiastically without hesitation after receiving his order.
Apart from the imperial monsters, Lin Huang also elevated his ten God's Figurine's Combat Souls to Omniscience rank-7. Later on, he got Eternity Fire to elevate all of them to the limit of heavenly dao-level.
He did not go further as Eternity Fire's stored energy was insufficient to elevate any of them to dominator-level.
Lin Huang returned to the Great Heaven Territory after he was done with all that.
He wanted to see the cultivation outcome of his Sword Servants throughout these few months under the 10,000 times accelerated time flow.
Through a scan with his Divine Telekinesis, he grasped the Sword Servants' situations clearly.
Apart from Sword 1, Sword 8 and a few others who had successfully broken through to upper-rank Lords, the rest of them were only middle-rank Lords.
Clearly, even with the help of 10,000 times accelerated time flow, it was difficult for Lords to elevate.
As Lin Huang was thinking about how to elevate his Sword Servants' level of ability faster, a voice transmission suddenly rang in his ears.
"You're at dominator-level now?!"
Chapter 1824: The Palace Spirit Awakens
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Lin Huang was familiar with the voice. Nevertheless, he only remembered where he had heard it before half a second later. He looked at the source of the voice quickly.
Apart from the Great Heaven Palace's dome, there was nothing else in the direction in which he was looking.
"You've finally woken up…" Lin Huang's tone sounded slightly emotional.
"sensed your aura. You seem to have already broken through to dominator-level," an old voice responded.
"Tonly broke through less than two days ago." Lin Huang nodded.
"Have I been asleep for a long time?" The old voice asked immediately.
"Not too long. Only a few years," Lin Huang explained while smiling, "It's just that the rate of elevation of my ability is rather fast."
"I's only been a few years and you've already grown to this extent?!" There was clearly shock in the old voice. "I always thought that, although your talent is better than Great Heaven's, you wouldn't be much better. Now it seems I was completely wrong."
Lin Huang faked a chuckle and did not explain himself.
As the Great Heaven Palace's palace spirit, it made sense that it compared Lin Huang to its previous masters.
"Since you've elevated to dominator-level now, there are some things that I can tell you." The palace spirit's tone suddenly became serious. "Actually, I'm not a Dao Weapon."
Lin Huang wanted to say that he had known that from the beginning, but he did not interrupt the Great Heaven Palace Spirit.
"My real grade is chaotic supreme treasure." The Great Heaven Palace Spirit seemed to think that Lin Huang was not knowledgeable about the grading system of treasures after saying that, so it explained immediately, "There are spiritual treasures, precious treasures and exotic treasures above Dao
Weapons. You should know that right?"
"Iknow that there are supreme treasures above exotic treasures, and that there are innate supreme treasures and chaotic supreme treasures above that," Lin Huang answered directly while nodding. He just wanted it to get straight to the point. "I also know that chaotic supreme treasures are extremely
rare even in the infinite universe. Usually, only dominator-level rank-4 and rank-5 powerhouses can use them."
The palace spirit was stunned for a second, after which it felt relieved. Since Lin Huang had already been elevated to dominator-level, it was normal for him to know such information.
"Alright, please go on." Lin Huang helped it to skip that part. He just wanted to hear the story sooner.
The Great Heaven Palace Spirit fell silent momentarily. It seemed to be spending some time sorting out its thoughts before speaking again.
"My first master was a dominator-level rank-d powerhouse. He created me by refining a chaotic Kingdom when he was at dominator-level rank-1. When I was first refined, I was just an innate supreme treasure with a vague sense of intelligence. After he integrated me with his Kingdom, his combat
strength elevated all the way to dominator-level rank-4,. I was elevated alongside that, becoming a chaotic supreme treasure."
"Unfortunately, an evil supreme powerhouse was born in the infinite universe during the same era. He was at dominator-level rank-5 as soon as He appeared."
"Before that guy appeared, Dominators would have to consider their compatibility when integrating a chaotic cosmos. If the chaotic cosmos' Heavenly Dao rejected them, the Dominators usually would not force things. The reason being was that forced integration from the lack of compatibility would
reduce the efficiency of the chaotic cosmos' energy.
"However, not only did that guy force the integration of all of the chaotic cosmoses, He would kill other Dominators to take their Kingdoms."
"He even announced His intention to become the Dominator of the entire infinite universe."
"The funny thing is that His theory of stealing was sought after by many Dominators, and they became His followers. At that time, the entire infinite universe became chaotic thanks to their actions."
"As everyone became their prey, it forced the Dominators to work together to fight against them."
"My first master could only join the war helplessly.
"After that, the war lasted for many years. The Union Army had finally defeated the army under His wing, and arrived at His lair."
"Back then, the Union Army was powerful. There were three dominator-level rank-5 powerhouses and 20 or so dominator-level rank-4 powerhouses. Initially, they thought that killing Him would be effortless since they had so many powerhouses with them. However, what everyone didn't expect was
that His ability was even more terrifying than they had imagined."
"At that time, He seemed to have reached the limit of dominator-level rank-5. Not only did he fight three dominator-level rank-5 powerhouses on His own, He had the excess strength to deal with the battle formation set up by the 20 or so dominator-level rank-4 powerhouses of the Union Army. He tore
the battle formation apart with an explosion of force."
"My first master was killed by His attack as he was in the core of the formation. Even his Kingdom was torn apart from the attack. He, who had always been invincible in my eyes, could not even take one attack and was killed instantly…"
"At the end of the war, a dominator-level rank-5 Dominator died while two others were injured when they sealed Him. Less than one-third of the Dominators from the Union Army survived. Moreover, those that survived were injured severely."
"After that, as I was affected by the impact of the battle and was badly damaged, a Dominator retrieved me and restored me to a certain extent. He then sealed me and gave me to a minor dao-level junior."
"Later on, my condition remained the same. After changing a few masters and being integrated with a few different chaotic Kingdoms, I've never encountered any dominator-level powerhouse since then…"
Lin Huang quickly asked a question that he had been wanting to ask after listening to the palace spirit telling its story.
"Is that destroyer who appeared out of nowhere called Aza?!"
In reality, he had already guessed it when he heard the palace spirit say that the person was already at dominator-level rank-5 when He appeared.
The palace spirit was stunned when it heard his question. "How do you know?!"
"To a certain extent, I can be considered as having sparred with His clone twice." Lin Huang did not think that those two encounters were happy experiences.
"You sparred with His clone?" The palace spirit's tone turned cautious now.
"Lwas almost killed, so I guess it can be barely considered as sparring." Lin Huang chuckled self-mockingly.
The palace spirit just realized that it had misunderstood what Lin Huang had meant. It thought he meant that they knew each other.
Very soon, Lin Huang told him about the two encounters he had with Aza's clone.
The palace spirit exclaimed after listening, "You're so lucky!"
"You've told me those secrets. Do you need help with something?" Lin Huang asked.
"L… would like to integrate with your Kingdom, the palace spirit told Lin Huang of its wish, feeling a little embarrassed after a moment of hesitation.
It proceeded to speak before waiting for Lin Huang's answer.
"My seal can only be removed completely if I integrate with a dominator-level powerhouse's Kingdom. Only Dominator Power can restore me completely.
"The current limit of my time flow acceleration is 10,000 times. When I've been unsealed, I can provide a time flow acceleration of one million times. Not only that, the range would not be limited to the Great Heaven Territory. It'll cover your entire Kingdom."
"Apart from that, I can also set different time flows for different zones. I can set nine zones with different time flows at most. You can choose to accelerate or decelerate the time flow within those zones."
"Also, the time flow acceleration of one million times is just the basic level. As your combat strength elevates, the time flow acceleration effect would elevate further. It's possible to accelerate the time flow in the entire Kingdom to 100 million times faster to cultivate talents."
"Tcan also suppress…"
"All you're mentioning are the benefits. I have only one question. What are the drawbacks?" Lin Huang asked after thinking for a moment.
"There are none. I'm a chaotic supreme treasure. The nature of my usage is no different from weapons and armors."
"That's great." Lin Huang agreed to his request directly.
Chapter 1825: A Copy of the Star Map
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After spending a couple of minutes integrating the Great Heaven Palace with his Kingdom, the Great Heaven Palace's aura was clearly growing.
Although the strength of its aura had yet to reach the standard of his God Weapons, it was clearly a supreme treasure now.
As the integration continued, Lin Huang realized that he could adjust the acceleration of the time flow in his entire Kingdom on his own now.
Not only could he accelerate, he could decelerate, as well as set up different time flows for different zones.
At first, he adjusted the time flow acceleration of the entire Kingdom to a million times faster.
Subsequently, he felt something was wrong, so he set the time flow in the zone where the Bug Tribe was to 100,000 times faster.
He did that mainly because the Bug Tribe's fertility rate was too terrifying.
He was worried that if he became too busy for a while, and did not have the time to oversee the changes in the Kingdom, the Bug Tribe might occupy the entire Kingdom.
After all, under a million times of accelerated time flow, even though only one to two days had passed in the outside world, thousands of years had passed in the Kingdom.
Throughout those thousands of years, it was enough for one Queen Mother to produce a terrifying number of Bug Tribe troops, let alone the fact that he had more than one Queen Mother in his Kingdom.
He suppressed the Bug Tribe's rate of development to one-tenth of the other tribes to prevent such an accident from happening.
After adjusting the time flow, Lin Huang checked out the other functions the Great Heaven Palace had.
Apart from separate time flows in different zones, it also had the function of suppression.
It could freeze dimensions or the time of a specific target.
However, these two suppression effects were affected by Lin Huang's level of ability. It would be useless against people who could tear Lin Huang's Kingdom apart.
Meanwhile, the first thing Lin Huang thought of when he saw this function was not to imprison his enemies, but rather its ability to store items.
He figured that he could totally seal the items that needed to be preserved in the Great Heaven Palace. It was much better than storing them in his storage space.
Naturally, the palace spirit did not know that he had such thoughts.
After familiarizing himself with how to use the Great Heaven Palace for a little bit, Lin Huang scanned through the changes in the entire Kingdom and checked how Lin Xin and the rest had been doing, before retrieving his consciousness out of his body.
He thought about the things he had yet to handle and remembered the four Goldfingers his clone had obtained.
In reality, he had taken a rough look at the functions of those four Goldfingers previously. They did not suit him, so he had put them aside directly.
He took them out to examine thoroughly now. Among the four Goldfingers, three were grade-2, while one was grade-3.
The four of them served as auxiliary aids. They could not elevate one's ability and combat strength directly.
Also, Lin Huang had no interest in Goldfingers of those grades.
After a moment of thinking, he fed all four Goldfingers to Xiao Hei.
Nothing seemed to change with Xiao Hei after he fed them to it, so he did not ask anything further.
Lin Huang checked carefully after feeding Xiao Hei. Confirming that he probably had not missed anything, he took out a golden card.
'There was an image of an island on top of the card, while the back of the card was filled with complicated Dao tattoos.
Xiao Hei did not consolidate this card. It was Fantasy Island's invitation card.
Compared to other invitation cards, which were one-time use items with a definite time limit for entry and exit, the one that Lin Huang was holding was given by Qian Shisan. He could enter Fantasy Island as he wished, and there was no time limit.
In reality, Lin Huang had used the Gate of All Realms to record Fantasy Island's coordinates earlier. He did not need an invitation card to enter Fantasy Island at all.
However, since Qian Shisan had given it to him, he thought that it would be better if he used the card to teleport him there out of respect.
It was like a friend who had given you his house key. Since you could enter his house using the key, there was no need for you to enter through the window.
After donning a slight disguise, Lin Huang inserted Odyl into the card in his hand. The next second, he appeared outside the shop Hush on Fantasy Island.
He lifted his head to glance at the signboard, and then he walked in directly.
"Tm looking for Qian Shisan."
Lin Huang spoke through voice transmission when he saw a young female attendant welcoming him.
The female attendant was stunned for a second, after which she regained her professional smile and said, "Please come with me, sir."
Very soon, Lin Huang was ushered to the fifth floor like before.
He walked in after seeing the room number that he was familiar with.
Qian Shisan, who was dressed in formal clothes, sat in front of a coffee table. He waved at Lin Huang.
"sit down and have a chat."
Lin Huang sat across Qian Shisan when he heard that.
He could not help but say when he saw him making tea casually, "I envy your life."
Qian Shisan smiled. "This is just a clone of mine. My Primordium's life isn't as good as this."
Lin Huang raised his brows. Just as he was about to ask further, Qian Shisan changed the subject directly. He passed the tea that he had just made to Lin Huang, "Let's not talk about that. Are you here to trade for items or information?"
"Information." Lin Huang did not ask further when he noticed that. He took a sip after accepting the tea. He could not help but frown slightly.
The tea was slightly bitter, but he soon relaxed his frown as sweetness came after the bitterness. He began to savor the sweetness on his tongue.
Qian Shisan saw his response clearly. "I bought this tea many years ago. I didn't like it after trying it, so I put it aside. I happened to stumble upon it again two days ago. I forgot what it tasted like, so I tried it again. It turns out that I like it a lot after trying it again."
"It's just that it's bitter in the beginning." Lin Huang nodded lightly. Whether it was the sweetness or the flavor, it was good tea.
Qian Shisan nodded lightly and took another sip slowly. He put down the teacup and asked, "What information would you like?"
"Td like the infinite universe's star map. The more detailed, the better. It'd be best if there are unclaimed chaotic Kingdoms marked on it," Lin Huang told Qian Shisan his request directly.
"There's no complete star map of the infinite universe," Qian Shisan said as he lifted his eyes to glance at Lin Huang, "Because it's expanding all the time and producing more chaotic Kingdoms."
"There's a star map version that's close to complete. It's a version from some 300,000 years ago. However, this star map version has a ridiculously high price as it covers the largest range, and its copyright is privately owned." Qian Shisan paused as he spoke up to this point. "However, I don't recommend
that you purchase this version as some 300,000 years have passed. The infinite universe has changed significantly. Many of the unclaimed chaotic Kingdoms have already been refined, and the distribution of organizations has changed significantly too."
"How much is this star map?" Lin Huang asked rather curiously.
"The price of an innate supreme treasure at least. You might only be able to obtain it by paying the price of two to three innate supreme treasures." Qian Shisan took another sip of tea.
"It's indeed too expensive," Lin Huang said, feeling quite guilty.
Although he had a couple of chaotic supreme treasures, he wanted to use them himself. He could not afford to pay the price of an innate supreme treasure.
"I think there's no need for you to buy this star map," Qian Shisan continued to say after putting down the teacup, "I can give you a star map for free. The zones around the universe are included. The range isn't considered large, but it's detailed. Also, it's the latest version that came out this year."
Lin Huang was quite moved when he heard, but he felt quite sheepish.
Qian Shisan seemed to have guessed what Lin Huang was thinking, after which he continued, "This star map is made public in the infinite universe. You can download it as long as you're connected to the internet. Naturally, I cannot charge you for it. I took quite a large commission from the last
transaction, so I'll give you the communication device for the infinite universe for free. It'll be more convenient for you when you leave the universe."
"Thank you then." Lin Huang did not beat around the bush.
A communication device was worth nothing, but it was much more convenient to get it from Qian Shisan rather than buying it himself after leaving the universe..
Chapter 1826: Golden Universe
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After obtaining the star map from Qian Shisan, Lin Huang examined it as soon as he returned to the universe.
According to Qian Shisan, the chaotic star zone the universe was located in was called the Golden Universe.
In the Golden Universe, there were tens of billions of chaotic cosmoses like the universe.
Meanwhile, in the entire infinite universe, there were at least billions of chaotic star zones like the Golden Universe.
The Golden Universe was only a small one among the chaotic star zones. Larger chaotic star zones might be able to contain billions of chaotic cosmoses.
The star map that Qian Shisan provided was only a star map of the Golden Universe.
In reality, this was sufficient for Lin Huang.
After projecting the star map, he saw a galaxy that was like a golden river.
The dots of light on the star map were not stars, but chaotic cosmoses that were similar to the universe.
Lin Huang scanned it using his Divine Telekinesis. There were more than 80 billion light dots on the star map. He understood that it meant there were more than 80 billion chaotic cosmoses in the Golden Universe.
"There are so many unclaimed chaotic cosmoses?!" Lin Huang realized something that shocked him after checking out the information on the star map carefully.
He was surprised to find that over 99% of the chaotic cosmoses in the Golden Universe were unclaimed.
Initially, he thought all of the Dominators in the infinite universe would integrate them with their Kingdoms with all of their might in order to strengthen themselves. Therefore, most of the chaotic cosmoses in the infinite universe should have been claimed by now.
However, after giving it some thought, he understood why there were more unclaimed Kingdoms.
One of the reasons was that there were a limited number of Dominators in the infinite universe.
Compared to the countless chaotic cosmoses, there were too few Dominators, who represented the top level of combat strength in the infinite universe.
Although all Dominators in the infinite universe, who were at dominator-level rank-5, had refined tens of thousands of chaotic cosmoses, perhaps the number of chaotic cosmoses they refined was less than one-hundredth of the total number of chaotic cosmoses in the infinite universe.
Not to mention that there had only been a few dominator-level rank-5 powerhouses throughout the history of the infinite universe.
Lin Huang very soon thought of the second reason.
Compatibility was an important factor for Dominators to integrate a chaotic cosmos.
Some chaotic cosmoses' Heavenly Daos were even born to resist integration with any Dominators' Kingdom.
Meanwhile, as the Dominators had sufficient chaotic cosmoses, it was only natural that they were only willing to integrate with chaotic cosmoses that had high compatibility with them.
The reason being was that the higher the level of compatibility of the integration, the less time it would take, the more Dominator Power they would obtain, and the faster it was to master the chaotic cosmos.
This was also the reason why no Dominators were willing to integrate with many chaotic cosmoses.
However, this was undoubtedly great news for Lin Huang.
Countless unclaimed chaotic cosmoses would mean that he had the freedom to choose.
After checking the universe's coordinates and ruling out the claimed chaotic cosmoses, he soon selected a route.
He planned to visit the chaotic cosmoses one after the other.
"Tl choose you as my first chaotic cosmos." Lin Huang stared at the star map in order to memorize the route. Then, he used Dominator Power to project his will on the chaotic cosmos that was closest to the universe.
Unclaimed chaotic cosmoses would reject the entry of Dominators from the outside.
Their Heavenly Dao would only accept Dominators that were produced by their own chaotic cosmos.
Therefore, Dominators from the outside could only project their will if they wanted to enter.
Meanwhile, the ability of the will projection had to be within dominator-level.
In reality, only dominator-level powerhouses could perform will projection in chaotic cosmoses.
The reason being was that such a projection would require a powerful God's soul.
Not only that, one would need to use Dominator Power and the chaotic cosmos' dimensional power to carry out the will projection.
'The more powerful a person's God's soul, the more chaotic cosmoses he integrated, and the more powerful the Dominator Power and dimensional power he used, the farther the will projection could reach.
'The current Lin Huang could probably only project his will on the hundreds of chaotic cosmoses around the universe. He could not project it farther than that.
He had even considered that he might need to find another solution if there were no suitable chaotic cosmoses among the hundreds around the universe. He would teleport himself out of the universe and project his will farther away to explore.
As Lin Huang projected his will on the first chaotic cosmos, he spread out his Divine Telekinesis directly, breaking through space and entering the dimension where the Heavenly Dao was.
"What's happening? Nobody's home?!" Lin Huang scanned his Divine Telekinesis throughout the entire dimension, but he did not see the Heavenly Dao of the chaotic cosmos. He did not even sense the aura left behind by the Heavenly Dao.
It seemed like it had been a long time since the Heavenly Dao had "returned home".
"What's wrong?" Lin Huang was confused.
Naturally, he could not communicate with the Heavenly Dao since it was not home.
Lin Huang recalled his Divine Telekinesis after thinking to himself for a moment.
He then spread out his Divine Telekinesis again, covering all of the star zones and worlds around.
Very soon, he found out that the chaotic cosmos was going through a war.
'The cities inside were at high alert, and there were many Abyssal creatures that were invading.
However, Lin Huang had never seen most of the Abyssal creatures that were invading this chaotic cosmos. There was even a slight difference in their auras.
Nevertheless, he could tell from a glance that these creatures were contaminated by Aza.
Lin Huang had a speculation as he thought to himself.
The Abyssal creatures were different, so perhaps the species the chaotic cosmos had were different compared to the universe.
Lin Huang merely scanned around and appeared in another star zone in a flash.
His objective was to have a "chat" with the Heavenly Dao. He had no plan to intervene in this chaotic cosmos' war.
After arriving at the new star zone, Lin Huang spread out his Divine Telekinesis again.
This zone was in a similar situation as the one before. It was also embroiled in a war.
However, this place had fallen even further.
They were left with only 30% of their resistance force.
Lin Huang teleported himself over ten times, one after the other. By then, he had almost checked out half of the entire chaotic cosmos.
He had a rough understanding of the chaotic cosmos.
Over half of the chaotic cosmos had been occupied by the Abyss.
It was extremely difficult for the locals to turn the tables around.
Lin Huang could almost foresee that it was only a matter of time before this chaotic cosmos would be fully contaminated by the Abyss.
He chose to ignore that.
After all, this was not his chaotic cosmos. It was somebody else's business.
If this chaotic cosmos' Heavenly Dao was willing to integrate with him, he would not mind intervening.
However, he did not find any traces of the Heavenly Dao after taking a stroll.
He knew that the chaotic cosmos' Heavenly Dao must have noticed his existence, but It chose not to meet him.
He could not force it since It refused to communicate with him. He could only forget about it..
Chapter 1827: Heavenly Dao Has a Temper Too
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Failing to communicate with the first chaotic cosmos was completely within Lin Huang's expectations.
From the beginning, he already knew that it was difficult to find a chaotic cosmos with high compatibility. Otherwise, all of the Dominators would have integrated chaotic cosmoses in the infinite universe to the limits which their Kingdom could take in.
However, he did not expect to not even see the Heavenly Dao of the first chaotic cosmos he visited.
He thought there would definitely be a certain chance at success as long as they met and communicated.
Even if the success rate was only 10%, he would be able to integrate some ten or so chaotic cosmoses if he communicated with hundreds of them.
He was a little worried that it would be troublesome if all Heavenly Daos acted his way.
If they did not even meet him, it was only natural that they could not communicate. If the situation was the same for all the hundreds of chaotic cosmoses he visited, it was possible that he would not even be able to integrate with one chaotic cosmos.
He could only hope that this chaotic cosmos' Heavenly Dao was an exception.
Lin Huang frowned and thought for a moment before recalling his will projection from the chaotic cosmos closest to him. Very soon, he chose the second chaotic cosmos and projected his will again.
This time, his will projection did not invade the Heavenly Dao's dimension. Instead, he spread out his Divine Telekinesis and observed the internal condition of the chaotic cosmos first.
He could not help but frown again as he observed the situation.
This chaotic cosmos was similar to the first one, whereby it was being invaded by the Abyss.
It was just that its situation was slightly better. Approximately 30% of it had been occupied by Abyssal creatures.
"It seems the zones nearby might have been targeted by Aza's clone. I wonder if it's the same clone or a few different ones…" Lin Huang made a preliminary speculation after observing the situation in the chaotic cosmos.
Nevertheless, he could only confirm if his speculation was true after looking at more chaotic cosmoses later on.
After exploring this chaotic cosmos a little bit, Lin Huang knew that he had definitely been noticed by this chaotic cosmos' Heavenly Dao.
It was just that It did not take the initiative to communicate with him. Lin Huang decided to take the initiative after thinking to himself for a moment.
He spread out his Divine Telekinesis again and broke through space, arriving at the dimension where the Heavenly Dao was.
He was secretly overjoyed when he saw a giant face in the air. 'It's home!
The giant face was stunned, after which it yelled furiously and attacked his spiritual body directly.
"Get out!"
A sky full of lightning and fire instantly filled the entire dimension. It had gathered the force of the entire chaotic cosmos.
Meanwhile, Lin Huang had only sent his will projection that was beneath dominator-level.
Feeling helpless, he could only get rid of his spiritual body and remove his Divine Telekinesis from the dimension.
"The Heavenly Dao would be pissed indeed that I invaded its dimension directly. But how do I communicate with It then…"
After all, breaking through space and invading the dimension with his Divine Telekinesis spiritual body was the equivalent of breaking down someone's door and entering his house.
Indeed, it was a rather rude behavior.
He did that in the universe before because Heavenly Dao had been secretly watching him.
Moreover, he was a local inhabitant of the universe, so the Heavenly Dao did not begrudge his behavior.
However, he was an outsider in the other chaotic cosmoses. Not only that, he took the initiative to invade their dimensions. The situation was different.
Just as Lin Huang was thinking about what to do, the Heavenly Dao suddenly turned into a giant face and appeared in the sky above his head.
Before Lin Huang could even feel happy to see the Heavenly Dao showing Itself, It began to accumulate all of the forces of the entire chaotic cosmos. It clearly wanted to kill his will projection.
"Die, invader!" "Wait!" Lin Huang did not panic. He interrupted It directly, "I'm not an invader. I'm not one of those Abyssal creatures. You can sense my aura properly."
Lin Huang stretched out his palm as he spoke. A ball of blood-colored Dominator Power consolidated in his palm.
The Heavenly Dao paused when It saw that. Only then did It notice that Lin Huang's aura was indeed different from those invaders.
It was behaving irrationally from the rage as It was shocked when Lin Huang used Divine Telekinesis to invade Its dimension. It had not noticed the difference at all.
After calming down a little bit, It did not recall Its attack. Instead, It asked, "Why did you come here?"
Clearly, It recognized that Lin Huang was a Dominator, and that he merely sent his will projection over.
"I just elevated to dominator-level not long ago. I'm traveling the infinite universe, looking to integrate with more chaotic cosmoses…" Lin Huang spoke about his situation roughly.
However, Heavenly Dao rejected him directly after listening, "I've no interest in integrating with someone's Kingdom. Go look for other chaotic cosmoses."
"Sure…" Lin Huang did not plan to force It. "I just want to remind you that these Abyssal creatures are difficult to deal with. There seems to be a dominator-level rank-5 powerhouse behind them. His clone is waking up. He might send His will projection over to fight you. He might even come Himself."
"That's my business. You don't have to worry about it," Heavenly Dao said coldly.
"Then… I'll see you when I see you." At the same time Lin Huang said those words, he recalled his will projection.
In the universe, Lin Huang's Primordium sat on the couch in the living room, replaying the events of the visit earlier in silence.
Although he had seen the Heavenly Dao during the visit, as well as communicated with It, the Heavenly Dao had obvious enmity toward outsiders.
He did not know if that was Its character, or whether It only became like this after the Abyss' invasion.
If he did not release his aura in time and let Heavenly Dao know that he was different from those Abyssal creatures, his will projection might have been killed directly.
Regarding the Heavenly Dao's unfriendliness after he revealed his identity, he had no idea if it was caused by his invasion of Its dimension or because It had enmity toward outsiders. Perhaps it was both.
"It's terrible to invade Its dimension directly. It's kind of like breaking down someone's door…" Lin Huang thought to himself while frowning. "But how do I communicate with It if I don't do that?"
After all, judging by the current situation, the Heavenly Dao did not seem to be willing to show Itself to communicate with outsiders. He would have to be more proactive in order to communicate with It.
"I can make a Communication Card that targets Its coordinates. You can communicate with It through voice transmission directly."
Xiao Hei suddenly spoke after sensing Lin Huang's predicament.
"Communication Card?!" Lin Huang asked further when he heard, "Targeted communication would work on Heavenly Dao that's not an entity?"
"It does." Xiao Hei gave an affirmative answer.
"Let's try that then!" Lin Huang became excited now. Almost without hesitation, he selected the third chaotic cosmos and sent out his will projection again..
Chapter 1828: The Communication Considered to Be a Success?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
'When Lin Huang's will projection arrived at the third chaotic cosmos, he did not communicate with its Heavenly Dao immediately.
Instead, he spread out his Divine Telekinesis to observe the internal situation of the chaotic cosmos.
'What he saw verified his previous speculation.
The chaotic cosmoses around the universe seemed to have been invaded by the Abyss.
However, this chaotic cosmos' situation was better than the previous two. At the moment, only less than 10% of it had been occupied by Abyssal creatures. The local living beings were fighting back enthusiastically.
Not only that, this chaotic cosmos' overall ability was the most powerful one among the two others. There were nine half-step dominator-level powerhouses, and also some 50 heavenly dao-level powerhouses.
Judging by the current situation, the number of powerhouses from the Abyss were less than half the number of the locals.
However, Lin Huang did not place high confidence in this chaotic cosmos.
Unless the local powerhouses could clear out all of the Abyssal creatures and spies, and get this chaotic cosmos removed from the list of targets of Aza's clone, it would end up no different from the chaotic cosmoses that were doing worse than them.
'As soon as Aza's clone woke up, the current upper hand the chaotic cosmos had would disappear instantly.
After confirming this chaotic cosmos' internal situation, Lin Huang got Xiao Hei to consolidate a Communication Card.
After crushing the card, the Golden Card turned into sparks in the sky.
A moment later, a notification box popped up before Lin Huang.
"Heavenly Dao has been targeted. The communication function has been activated."
At the same time, the notification box appeared, the user manual for the card was sent into his mind automatically.
Lin Huang spread out his Divine Telekinesis according to the user manual in his mind and locked onto the Heavenly Dao.
He then spoke through voice transmission with Divine Telekinesis, "Hi, I'm a Dominator from another chaotic cosmos. I'm currently traveling through the Golden Universe."
"Tve just arrived with my will projection and found out that your chaotic cosmos is being invaded?"
Lin Huang did not mention integrating with the Heavenly Dao directly. Instead, he tried to talk about a subject.
After all, theoretically, Heavenly Dao would answer his question.
If that happened, the first round of communication would succeed.
"How are you talking to me?" Heavenly Dao responded through voice transmission after a moment of silence.
It did not answer Lin Huang's answer. Instead, It asked him another question.
Nevertheless, to Lin Huang, it was a great start.
At least Heavenly Dao did not refuse to communicate with him directly.
"Lhave my own methods," Lin Huang responded while smiling.
The Heavenly Dao spoke again after another moment of silence, "You mentioned the invasion… Do you know where they come from?"
Lin Huang raised his brows and secretly thought, "How is this guy so sharp?!"
He thought about it and figured that there was no need for him to lie.
"Yes. I noticed many chaotic cosmoses undergoing similar situations as yours as I traveled around. They've been attacked by similar monsters. To be honest, your level of contamination is the least among all that I saw."
"From what I know, those invaders come from a place called the Abyss. To be exact, it's the dream dimension of a powerful entity. That entity is suspected to be a dominator-level rank-5 powerhouse. It's His clone that's controlling these invading monsters."
"Moreover, His clone is currently half-asleep. He might wake up anytime. As soon as He wakes up, it'll be useless even if all of the half-step Dominators and heavenly dao-level powerhouses in your chaotic cosmos work together."
Heavenly Dao fell into silence again. It only spoke again a while later.
"How would I know that you're not trying to frighten me? And how can I be sure that you're not their accomplice?"
"Firstly, it's not beneficial to me at all to come up with lies to frighten me. Secondly, my aura is completely different from theirs. You should be able to sense that easily."
"Having a different aura doesn't prove that you're not one of them. Those guys sent spies to my chaotic cosmos. I can't rule out the possibility that you're not one of their spies based on your aura alone."
Lin Huang was rendered speechless by what It said.
He could not comprehend how a Heavenly Dao could have such a meticulous sense of logic.
"Also, don't Dominators like you love to coax chaotic cosmos' Heavenly Daos into integrating with your Kingdom? You might be making this up now and then you'll make up excuses to work with other powerhouses to fight against the enemies. Your real goal is just to persuade me into integrating with
your Kingdom."
"It's a little too much to call it coaxing…" Lin Huang could not help but rub his nose.
He could not believe that the Heavenly Dao had exposed his true intentions in what It said at the end.
Indeed, he wanted to tell It about the dangers of the Abyss before requesting to work together to fight against the enemies and to integrate with his Kingdom. It had said everything that he wanted to say.
"Since that's the case, I won't beat around the bush. The information about the Abyss I told you about is true. None of it was a lie. However, it's also the truth that I want you to integrate with my Kingdom."
"The reason being is that the chaotic cosmos I'm in is also going through the same crisis as you are. I'm only at dominator-level rank-1 now. If that dominator-level rank-5 clone wakes up, I won't be His match at all. I must integrate more chaotic cosmos to elevate my ability in order to be able to fight
fairly with Him, to the extent that I can even kill Him so that I can solve the crisis in my chaotic cosmos."
The Heavenly Dao fell into silence for a long time and did not speak after Lin Huang said that.
Just when he thought Heavenly Dao might refuse to continue communicating with him, It finally spoke again.
"I feel that what you said must be true, but I need time to sort out my thoughts and to think it through. You can check out other chaotic cosmoses first. You don't have to waste your time waiting here."
Heavenly Dao's response seemed to be out of Lin Huang's expectations.
In reality, he was ready to be rejected. However, It did not reject him. Although It did not agree to his request, It had clearly believed in what he said. He could totally understand Its hesitation.
Therefore, he did not urge It.
"Alright, think it through. His clone might wake up anytime, so time is tight right now. Therefore, I can't stay and wait for your decision. I hope you can understand that."
"Tl come back in a few days. Take these few days to think it through. No matter what your decision is, I'll accept."
"Alright. See you in a few days," Heavenly Dao responded.
Lin Huang did not waste anymore time. He recalled his will projection directly.
His Primordium in the universe released a long exhale of breath. He felt that such communication was more tiring than fighting battles.
"Although the outcome isn't desirable, the communication can be considered to be quite successful.. Also, it's not exactly a bad outcome.
Chapter 1829: Successful Persuasion
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Lin Huang became calm after the three consecutive failed attempts.
After all, he expected such an outcome from the beginning. Now that he had been rejected over and over again in reality, it verified his expectations from before.
"Seems like I'll need to be 101% prepared in order to achieve the one-tenth success rate." Lin Huang calmed himself down.
He replayed the communication between him and the third Heavenly Dao earlier, and spent a few minutes organizing his thoughts.
Only then did he select the fourth chaotic cosmos and send his will projection over.
As Lin Huang expected, the fourth chaotic cosmos was also being invaded by the Abyss as well.
The invasion had occupied close to 40% of the chaotic cosmos.
He tried to communicate with the Heavenly Dao. He even used his pre-prepared speech that he worked on.
However, this time, It pretended not to hear him throughout the entire process. It did not respond to him at all.
It made Lin Huang think that something had gone wrong with the Communication Card. He only found out that there was nothing wrong with the card's function after asking Xiao Hei about it. The Heavenly Dao could hear his voice transmission, but It just ignored him.
Feeling helpless, Lin Huang could only choose to give up.
"There's really nothing that I can do when I run into those who refuse to communicate…"
He knew that he did not need to waste his time when he encountered those who refused to communicate. The reason for that was the cost of convincing It would likely be too high, while the success rate would be abysmally low.
After recalling his will projection, Lin Huang projected his will toward the fifth chaotic cosmos without hesitation.
The fifth chaotic cosmos was also being invaded by the Abyss.
However, the progress of the invasion here was even lower than the third chaotic cosmos, at approximately 8%.
This chaotic cosmos' Heavenly Dao was easy to talk to. It chatted with Lin Huang for a while, it could even be considered to be a joyful chat.
Lin Huang thought it would be a definite success after the chat but, in the end, It still hesitated, saying that It needed time to consider it.
He then retrieved his will projection and teasingly said while smiling, "I thought I'd definitely get it… This guy… It got so much information about the Abyss from me and, in the end, It did this to me!"
Even he had to admit that the Heavenly Dao that he chatted with this time was just like a human.
He also realized that Heavenly Daos had all sorts of characters. Just like humans, each of them had their own characters and personalities.
After the exchange ended, Lin Huang replayed the entire conversation in his mind and improved his pre-prepared speech again.
Only then did he project his will for the sixth time
Then the seventh, eighth and ninth times later on
He failed 13 times consecutively. Although he did not feel like a loser, he felt a little exhausted.
'The reason being was that he had to watch everything he said during such an exchange. Sometimes, he would need to read in between the lines of the Heavenly Daos' words. Each time the exchange ended, he would have to replay each and every sentence mentally, and wrack his brain to improve his
speech.
Fortunately, although none of the 13 exchanges was a success, in reality, only half of them rejected him outright, while the rest needed time to think.
After the 13th visit ended, Lin Huang replayed the previous exchange mentally again. He then selected the 14th chaotic cosmos and projected his will over again.
He had gotten used to the process now.
Firstly, he would spread out his Divine Telekinesis to check out the internal situation of the chaotic cosmos.
However, he could not help but frown when he did so this time.
He was surprised to find that everywhere his Divine Telekinesis scanned through had been invaded by Abyssal creatures.
Lin Huang teleported himself to a couple of locations. He examined the entire chaotic cosmos thoroughly.
"Tm afraid this chaotic cosmos will fall completely within a few months…"
Under his investigation using Divine Telekinesis, he saw that over 95% of the chaotic cosmos was invaded by Abyssal creatures.
Only some locals in the few cities survived. They were having a hard time holding out too.
However, these cities had been surrounded by Abyssal creatures. It was only a matter of time before they fell.
It was Lin Huang's first time seeing such a situation that was beyond cure. The most serious situation he had seen before had only been 70% occupied by the Abyss.
He even hesitated for a second, as he was not too sure if it was necessary for him to even communicate with the Heavenly Dao when the condition was so bad.
However, he decided to try after thinking for a moment.
After all, such a chaotic cosmos that was heavily contaminated by Abyssal energy was toxic for other Dominators, but it was no different from a normal chaotic cosmos to him.
With Eternity Fire, he could even refine a legitimate Abyssal creature's Kingdom.
After crushing a Communication Card, Lin Huang did not use his usual speech, nor did he even introduce himself.
He said directly, "Seems like you don't have much time left."
The Heavenly Dao did not respond.
Lin Huang waited for a moment before continuing, "Do you know where these guys who invaded your chaotic cosmos come from?"
It still did not respond.
Lin Huang waited again before continuing to speak, "These guys are Abyssal creatures. They have a powerful dominator-level rank-5 powerhouse behind them. It's said that this Dominator has tens of thousands of clones scattered all over to recruit believers, with the goal of integrating more chaotic
cosmos to strengthen Himself."
"Judging from your chaotic cosmos' current condition, it shouldn't take long before it becomes His completely."
"As soon as the entire chaotic cosmos is fully contaminated by His Abyssal energy, He can refine you. At that point, there will be nowhere for you to run!"
"Who are you exactly?!"
Heavenly Dao finally responded.
"Tm the person who is here to help you." Lin Huang smirked lightly after hearing Its response.
"How can you help me? According to what you said, that person is at dominator-level rank-5," the Heavenly Dao raised Its doubts immediately.
"The dominator-level rank-5 powerhouse's Primordium is still in deep sleep. Even the clones that He has scattered all over are in deep sleep. You actually still have quite a bit of room to maneuver."
"Tell me then, what's your solution?" The Heavenly Dao asked again.
"It's easy. Integrate with my Kingdom, and I'll help you get rid of these invaders," Lin Huang told It his solution directly.
"That's your solution?!" Heavenly Dao laughed out of rage. "Then let me ask you, why would I integrate with you instead of that dominator-level rank-5 powerhouse?"
"You should've sensed how evil the Abyssal aura is. Do you think He'll let you keep your consciousness after He integrates you with His Kingdom?" Lin Huang asked in return, "However, if you integrate with my Kingdom, I can guarantee that I won't remove any of the Heavenly Daos' consciousnesses."
The Heavenly Dao fell silent momentarily.
That was the reason why many Heavenly Daos were unwilling to integrate with the Dominators' Kingdoms.
This was especially true when it came to some of the more powerful Dominators. The more chaotic cosmoses they had in their bodies, the stronger the resistance they encountered due to the Heavenly Daos.
In order to reduce such resistance and allow the Kingdom to accommodate more chaotic cosmos, some Dominators would remove those Heavenly Daos' consciousnesses directly. Although this would not solve the problem of resistance between the chaotic cosmoses entirely, it could reduce it by half at
least.
"Looking at the current situation, you don't have much time. The remaining few cities might not even last two months."
"T'll just give it to you straight. I'm your last hope. I have a unique way to remove the Abyssal energy contamination. Other Dominators can't do that. Even if they could, they might not be willing to waste the time and effort."
Heavenly Dao fell into a long period of silence before speaking up again after hearing his words.
"Can you swear not to remove my consciousness?"
"Sure," Lin Huang agreed to Its request directly.
"Alright then. I agree to the integration." The Heavenly Dao finally agreed to do it..
Chapter 1830: Ultimate Heavenly Dao?!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Thanks to the Heavenly Dao's cooperation, the integration of Lin Huang's Kingdom and the Heavenly Dao was unusually successful.
The entire integration process lasted less than ten minutes.
Lin Huang could clearly sense that, once the second chaotic cosmos integrated with his Kingdom, the particles in his physical body and God's soul underwent a tiny transformation.
Many Dao seals were unlocked in his body. Meanwhile, the total number of Dao seals in his Kingdom had been multiplied by a few times.
Just as Lin Huang was carefully sensing the changes in his body, something strange suddenly happened to his Kingdom.
The Heavenly Dao that had just completed the integration process began to integrate with the universe's Heavenly Dao.
The two Heavenly Daos tried to resist it by instinct. However, the second the integration process started, the two of them stopped struggling.
"Do you feel that too?" The universe's Heavenly Dao asked.
"Ido. You too?" The second Heavenly Dao responded immediately.
"Can it be that thing from the legend?" The second Heavenly Dao asked again.
"I don't know, but it feels a little like it," the universe's Heavenly Dao said.
Lin Huang was confused as he listened to their words. He had no idea what the two of them were talking about at all.
"Can you two explain what's going on?"
"We suspect that your Kingdom is slightly unusual. It can possibly consolidate the Ultimate Heavenly Dao," the second Heavenly Dao explained.
"Ultimate Heavenly Dao?!" It was Lin Huang's first time hearing that term.
"It's the ultimate form a Heavenly Dao can elevate to," the universe's Heavenly Dao explained.
Seeing that Lin Huang was still confused, the universe's Heavenly Dao continued to explain, "In reality, the Heavenly Dao of a single chaotic cosmos like us is the basic form of a Heavenly Dao. The higher grade Heavenly Dao is a Heavenly Dao that's formed naturally after integrating a couple or over ten
chaotic cosmoses. It rarely occurs in the infinite universe. However, legend has it that there's an ultimate form of Heavenly Dao. It's formed by integrating innumerable Heavenly Daos. Such a Heavenly Dao could integrate all of the Heavenly Daos endlessly, making them a part of Itself. It's called the
Ultimate Heavenly Dao!"
"I's said that only the Kingdom of a powerhouse who has surpassed dominator-level can consolidate such a Heavenly Dao."
"Then why do you guys think that my Kingdom can do something like that?" Lin Huang still could not wrap his head around it.
"Because after I integrated with your Kingdom, I began to integrate with another Heavenly Dao automatically. Such an integration isn't forced, nor will it wipe away our consciousness. There's no uneasiness throughout the integration process at all. The both of us still have our consciousnesses, becoming
a cluster of consciousness."
"Although we're not sure what a legitimate Ultimate Heavenly Dao looks like, our integration this time gives me the feeling that this might be the legendary Ultimate Heavenly Dao," the second Heavenly Dao explained.
"Other Dominators won't have their Heavenly Daos integrated like this as well?" Lin Huang could not help but ask.
After all, he was a rookie Dominator. The information about dominator-level he obtained from Qian Shisan was only surface-level. He only knew that dominator-level powerhouses cultivated by integrating more chaotic Kingdoms continuously. He did not know the details of dominator-level
powerhouses' cultivation.
"No. Of this I'm aware," the second Heavenly Dao explained further, "Many years before my chaotic cosmos was invaded, there was a Dominator who tried to persuade me to integrate with his Kingdom, who told me many things about a Dominator's cultivation.
"Usually, after a Dominator integrated his Kingdom with the chaotic cosmos, each chaotic cosmos' Heavenly Dao existed on their own, possessing their own consciousness. In the same Kingdom, the Heavenly Daos could communicate with each other on a surface level, but they could not probe the
internal condition of other chaotic Kingdoms, nor could they intervene with the other chaotic Kingdoms: internal operations."
"However, in your Kingdom, not only can we communicate on a deeper level, we are even aware of whatever the other Heavenly Dao is thinking about. We can also probe the other chaotic cosmos' internal condition, as well as intervene in its operations."
"That's why I think your Kingdom is unusual. If this happens to all the Heavenly Daos that integrate with your Kingdom, I think we might become a cluster consciousness, forming the Ultimate Heavenly Dao that can be strengthened continuously."
"My Kingdom's consolidation and elevation process are indeed different compared to other cultivators…" Lin Huang nodded and admitted. However, he did not agree to what the Heavenly Daos said immediately. "However, we can't conclude that the Ultimate Heavenly Dao can be consolidated like you said.
We must integrate more chaotic cosmoses, and use data to verify this hypothesis."
"Then what are you waiting for? Quick, let's head to the next chaotic cosmos!" The second Heavenly Dao urged.
"Don't we need to sort out what's happening in your chaotic cosmos first?" Lin Huang thought he would do a simple clean-up operation before heading to the next chaotic cosmos.
However, the Heavenly Dao continued to urge him, "My matter isn't urgent. It's more important to verify your Kingdom's characteristics!"
"Alright then…" Lin Huang did not expect It to be so impatient.
After recalling his will projection, he soon projected his will toward the next chaotic cosmos.
The 15th chaotic cosmos was contaminated by the Abyss pretty badly as well.
Close to 80% of the chaotic cosmos was contaminated.
After scanning through the chaotic cosmos with Divine Telekinesis to get a rough idea, Lin Huang took out another Communication Card again and started a new round of communication with the Heavenly Dao.
This Heavenly Dao was fickle-minded. It was hesitating.
Lin Huang chatted with It for about ten minutes. It did not reject, nor did it agree. It was simply hesitating and dawdling.
At that moment, the second Heavenly Dao could no longer hold back.
"Let me communicate with It."
Lin Huang was stunned for a second before nodding. "Sure."
Subsequently, he released the second Heavenly Dao's consciousness out of his body.
As soon as It came out, the two Heavenly Daos began to communicate.
"Stop hesitating. Look at your chaotic cosmos. It'll probably fall completely within two years. By then, your entire chaotic cosmos would be occupied. There's nowhere for you to run, and you'll end up being integrated by force. After that, your consciousness might be wiped out directly."
"You might as well come with us! Let me tell you this. Our host has the Supreme Kingdom in his body. We'll become the Ultimate Heavenly Dao…"
Lin Huang was speechless after hearing that. This second Heavenly Dao was even better at boasting than he was!
He did not know whether the Kingdom in his body could integrate endless Heavenly Daos, yet the second Heavenly Dao said it so confidently, as if it had been confirmed.
The chaotic cosmos' Heavenly Dao was dizzy from the persuasion. In the end, It agreed to the integration while in a daze.
The entire communication process only lasted less than five minutes.
Lin Huang could not help but secretly give a thumbs up as he watched it take place.
Since the Heavenly Dao agreed to it, he soon began a new round of integration.
This time, the same situation happened again when the new Heavenly Dao integrated with his Kingdom.
'The new Heavenly Dao began to integrate with the previous two Heavenly Daos quickly.
Just like what the two Heavenly Daos predicted, the three Heavenly Daos very soon became one.
Although they possessed their own individual consciousness, the three of them seemed to have become a cluster of consciousness, whereby they could read each other's minds.
The three chaotic cosmos were no secret to the three Heavenly Daos at all. They could probe each other, intervene with each other, as if the two other chaotic cosmos were theirs.
Up to this point, Lin Huang was a little suspicious whether his Kingdom was actually the legendary Supreme Kingdom that could consolidate the Ultimate Heavenly Dao..
