After hanging up the call with Guan Zhong, Lin Huang knew that he had been exposed, but he did not care anymore.
The fact that Guan Zhong and the rest took the initiative to contact him to test him showed that they did not find any reliable evidence. They could not be sure if he killed Zhuge Feifan.
However, his refusal to perform the Mirror Backtracking was equivalent to admitting that he was the murderer.
However, Lin Huang could only choose to decline.
If he agreed to perform the Mirror Backtracking, Guan Zhong would be able to recognize the bruised corpse as soon as he went back to the scene. It would be equivalent to giving the Coalition government solid evidence instead.
At the very least, even if Guan Zhong and the rest were very sure that he was the one who did it, they did not have enough evidence to go after him.
In reality, Lin Huang was very careful in what he did. He only read Zhuge Feifan's memory and did not leave anything behind. Not only did he leave Zhuge Feifan's dead body to the Coalition government, but he did not even take his Emperor's Heart Ring. He only took the Godhead that the Coalition government did not care about.
With such careful control and the operation without leaving any evidence, the Coalition government had no idea where to start even if they wanted to go after him.
Meanwhile, the Coalition government chose to let it go in the end since they did not have solid evidence.
Time flew by, and three days passed quickly.
In these three days, other than the 8th of August, he spent some time with Lin Xin to celebrate her birthday and announce that he had officially turned 19 years old.
Lin Huang spent most of his time in closed-door cultivation to refine the Godheads in his body.
The broken Godheads of demigods were refined in no time under the burning of Divine Fire. However, the refining speed of the 13 complete Godheads that he obtained during this period was much slower.
He also roughly calculated the refining speed.
Normally, it would only take one to five minutes to completely refine a demigod's broken Godhead. Almost none of them took more than ten minutes.
However, a Virtual God rank-1 Godhead would take approximately ten hours to refine continuously.
A Virtual God rank-2 Godhead would take approximately 20 hours while a Virtual God rank-3 Godhead would take approximately 40 hours …
The time needed to refine the godhood would double with every revolution.
Lin Huang calculated that it would take about 2,560 hours to completely refine a Virtual God rank-9 Godhead. Even if he didn't sleep or rest, it would still take more than a hundred days.
Over the past three days, he had refined 12 out of the 13 Godheads. However, the refining progress of the Rank-9 Godhead that he had obtained from the Master God's clone was rather impressive.
On the morning of the fourth day, Lin Huang walked out of the Human Emperor Palace.
The imperial princes who had obtained the quota had already arrived.
Apart from a minority of them who were busy with other things, basically all of the imperial-levels and demigod Dukes had submitted their applications.
However, less than two-thirds of the people on Huang Tianpu's side passed. He needed powerhouses to guard Dynasty's headquarters and branches.
In the end, there were only 67 people on the list who passed the assessment, including the Third Grand Duke, Huang Tufu, Huang Wuji, and the rest who had elevated to imperial-level.
Before 8: 30 pm, everyone had already gathered in the conference room.
Everyone stood up as soon as they saw Lin Huang walk into the conference room.
"Please take a seat." Lin Huang walked to the podium after getting everyone to sit down.
"The trial zone that I've selected for everyone this time is just a grade-1 trial zone in the great world. However, it's a grade-6 forbidden zone here. There are a couple of virtual god-level monsters in there. Therefore, please don't let your guard down just because the star rating is low.
"I've gotten Mr. Tianpu to send the information about the trial zone to everyone here two days ago. If anyone hasn't received it, please let me know immediately."
Lin Huang waited for a while, but nobody spoke.
"I believe everyone has studied the information and must've made some preparations beforehand. There's no need for me to waste everyone's time by repeating the information. "
"I'll simply state a few of my expectations."
"Firstly, don't fight among yourselves! After entering the trial zone, no matter if you're going solo or in a team, please don't attack your own people! "
"I don't care what kind of conflicts you guys have or what kind of conflicts you have in the trial zone. If I find out that anyone attacks our own people, I'll kill them without mercy! "
"I hope that opening the trial zone and setting up a reward system will motivate everyone to become more powerful instead of escalating the conflict among yourselves."
"You can resolve those who have conflicts after the trial ends. Don't play tricks in the trial zone! If you can't resolve it, you can look for me or the Three Grand Dukes. We'll figure something out. "
"As for those who are dissatisfied with the trial results, you can participate in the second or third trial to prove your ability!"
"Secondly, please try your best to survive."
"Every one of you here is Dynasty's top combat strength. You're the backbone of Dynasty. No matter who you lose, it'll be a great loss to Dynasty, me, and the Three Grand Dukes. "
"I hope that all of you can survive each trial and become more powerful so that you can go further with Dynasty!"
"Don't worry about your pride in the trial zone. Survival is the most important thing. If you encounter something you can't defeat, avoid it if you should and run if you should. Don't fight it. You must know that you can only obtain more points and more rewards if you're alive. That's how you can become more powerful. "
"Thirdly, try your best to obtain as many points as you can."
"After accomplishing the first and second points, try your best to obtain as many resources as you can in the trial zone. Don't care if your competitors are from the major organizations in the great world. Fight for what you should and don't show mercy to those who should be killed. It doesn't matter even if you kill a Dynasty member. In the trial zone, Dynasty members can be prey in a fair competition. You can't blame anyone if you're killed. "
Lin Huang gave a simple summary of the three points and did not say anything else. Instead, everyone rested on their own.
At 9 am sharp, Lin Huang activated the dimensional portal of the trial zone with his authority as a Dynasty member.
In the meeting room, a golden door opened slowly.
67 participants entered in a queue one after another.
After everyone had entered, the golden door slowly closed. Then, it gradually lost its color and disappeared without a trace.
Huang Tianpu sighed softly as he watched the trial door disappear.
"I hope we won't lose too many people in this trial."
Lin Huang patted Huang Tianpu's shoulder. Initially, he wanted to say something to comfort him, but he decided against it after thinking about it.
"I'd like to exchange the few Godheads in the warehouse with god relics of equivalent value," Lin Huang voiced his request after a moment of silence.
"There's no use keeping those Godheads. You can just take them, Master Emperor," Huang Tianpu said while waving his hand.
"Let's make a trade of equivalent value. They're Dynasty's property after all." Lin Huang was embarrassed to take them for free. He had taken a soul orb earlier.
'Isn't Dynasty your property too?' Huang Tianpu thought to himself, but he dared not say it out loud.
"I might spend most of my time in closed-door cultivation during the next month of the trial. Try your best to collect the materials and Godheads that I need. I'll pay you in advance later for the broken Godheads. Also, keep an eye on the soul orbs for me. Inform me immediately if there's any news about the soul orbs, even if you have to interrupt my closed-door cultivation. " As Lin Huang spoke, he projected the soul orb that looked like a blue water droplet that he had obtained from Dynasty's treasure earlier.
