It was past 2 p.m. when Tan Lang arrived at Emperor City with a bunch of people.
Lin Huang received the news immediately and got Huang Tianpu to invite them to Dynasty's headquarters.
Lin Huang was dressed in plain white clothes as he welcomed Tan Lang and the rest.
Tan Lang and the rest came with a total of 13 people. Lin Huang knew five of them.
Apart from Tan Lang, there were Shen Tao, Jian Fei, Gu Fei, and Bug Master Li Jia.
He had known Shen Tao earlier than Tan Lang did. Meanwhile, the current chief of the Heaven Alliance, Jian Fei, and the deputy chief, Gu Fei, were acquaintances too. Meanwhile, he had only met Li Jia in the Fallen God Land.
Lin Huang only found out from the True God's will, Gong Sun, that Li Jia had Divine Telekinesis just like him after Tan Lang and the rest left the Fallen God Land. In fact, Li Jia's Divine Telekinesis was even more powerful than Lin Huang's, but he had chosen to hide it.
Although his combat strength was only on immortal-level rank-9 and he did not seem to be a threat at all, his ability could not be measured by his combat strength.
However, Lin Huang did not show anything strange. He merely looked at Tan Lang and the other four like he was familiar with them.
Tan Lang had already told everyone that Lin Xie's real identity was the Emperor of Dynasty, Lin Huang.
He still found it a little hard to believe when he saw Lin Huang in person.
"Are you really Lin Xie?" Shen Tao asked with disbelief written all over his face.
"I'm the real deal." Lin Huang turned into Lin Xie with the Disguise Skill right away as he spoke. He then tapped on the Emperor's Heart Ring of Lin Xie's identity and called Shen Tao. "I can disguise myself, but I don't think the Emperor's Heart Ring can."
Each Emperor's Heart Ring's number was unique. Moreover, the owner's identity would be locked as soon as it was recognized. Even if it was cracked, the storage space could only be opened. Since the original owner's existence could not be detected, the network and communication signal of the Emperor's Heart Ring would be shut down.
The Emperor's Heart set this up to prevent people from committing crimes by impersonating others.
As for Yang Ling and the rest of the hackers who created fake identities, they reformatted the ownerless Emperor's Heart Ring to its original state. All the information on the Emperor's Heart Ring returned to zero. Even the serial number was regenerated. It was no different from a brand new Emperor's Heart Ring. It could not be used by impersonating someone else.
The fact that Lin Huang could use Lin Xie's Emperor's Heart Ring directly proved that his identity was not a problem.
Originally, Tan Lang and the others were somewhat worried. They wondered if it was possible that Lin Huang had kidnapped Lin Xie and forced him to contact them. Now, it seemed that he had been thinking too much.
"Before I came to the core zone, Mr. Fu was attacked by a virtual god-level powerhouse. It was related to the Coalition government. The Coalition government knew very well that I was Mr. Fu's apprentice. Also, I have offended the Purple Crow, Saints, heretics, and other dark forces in Division7. Moreover, I wasn't capable enough to protect myself. For safety's sake, I disguised myself as Lin Xie. Since then, I've been using Lin Xie's identity in the core zone. "
Lin Huang gave a simple explanation while smiling.
Everyone was shocked to hear that. They had never thought that Lin Huang would have such a tough journey.
Not only did he have to watch out for the Coalition government, but he also had to watch out for the three top underground organizations.
If they hadn't grown up yet, as long as they showed the slightest sign of weakness, they might encounter a calamity.
"Fortunately, you've finally made it through. Now that you're the Emperor, even the Coalition government would have to think twice if they want to touch you, let alone the few underground organizations. "Tan Lang patted Lin Huang's shoulder while smiling.
Jian Fei looked rather awkward. He was worried that Lin Huang would compete with him when he was running for the acting chief of the Heaven Alliance. Now, it seemed like Lin Huang did not care about the position of the chief of the Heaven Alliance at all.
The Heaven Alliance could only be considered as the top university on Earth at most. However, Dynasty was almost comparable to one of the top companies in the world if it was on Earth. How could a director of a top company be interested in the position of a university's student council president?
Meanwhile, no expression could be seen on Li Jia's face. He was great at disguising himself. He looked like an ordinary listener who was interested in the story, just like the rest. However, Lin Huang had no idea what he was thinking about.
Lin Huang glanced through the crowd and smiled without saying anything.
He was the only one who knew that he had the confidence to reveal his identity, not because of his identity as the Emperor of Dynasty, but because of his ability.
Just like two months ago, the Coalition government did nothing even though they knew he was the one who killed Zhuge Feifan. It was not because of his identity as the Emperor, but because they knew his true ability very well. If they really came looking for trouble regardless of the consequences, they would definitely lose a large number of top powerhouses.
Lin Huang knew very well that identity was just a title. Ability was everything.
No matter how high a person's identity was, he would lose everything that identity brought to him when he lost it one day.
Just like some of the presidents on Earth, they would only have a few years of glory during their term. They would lose their glory as soon as their term was over. Sometimes, they would live worse than rich people with ordinary identities.
Naturally, there were many benefits that came with identity. One did not have to do many things himself as he could get others to do it for him. Identity could also bring connections and resources. Many people would flock to you because of your identity and offer all sorts of benefits. Identity could also magnify one's influence. When one's identity and reputation were powerful enough, every word and action of the person who obtained this identity might be watched by the whole world.
However, no matter how powerful one's ability was, there would always be a limit. That was also the reason why Lin Huang accepted the position of the Emperor back then. With the identity of the Emperor, he could easily accomplish things that would have taken him a lot of time and effort in the past by relying on Dynasty's power.
"Let's go see Boss Chan." Lin Huang did not want to dwell on the topic of identity and ability, so he led the rest to where Chan Dou lived.
Tan Lang finally could not help but ask as they walked, "How did you find Chan Dou?"
Everyone pricked up their ears as soon as he asked that question.
"I suppose all of you have heard about the organization called God Bless that has been stirring up for the past two months?" Lin Huang asked.
"I suppose all of you have heard about it recently. Judging from the Coalition government's announcement, it's indeed a terrifying organization. They've been hiding in our world for over 700 years. Nobody knows about this organization's existence. Moreover, so many of their members have infiltrated other organizations. Many of them have even become upper echelons and core members, "Shen Tao took over the conversation.
The Coalition government had announced the existence of God Bless two months ago, so everyone present was familiar with it.
"Chan Dou was captured by their people." Lin Huang was telling a half-truth. "I was assassinated by God Bless. I captured their people alive and found out about it by accident.
"After finding out where Chan Dou was locked up, I spent some time infiltrating and rescued him. However, he's been in a coma and had just woken up this morning. I found out that he lost a lot of his memory when I talked to him.
