After being teleported out of the Frost Territory, all the participants once again gathered at the dimensional portal entrance.
Out of the eight thousand participants, more than seven thousand had returned. The survival rate was over 90%, which was already very high.
Lin Huang glanced over and once again saw many familiar faces, as well as two Sword Servants.
When Dao 301 and Sword302 saw Lin Huang, they immediately approached him and communicated through the contract information between the swordmaster and the Sword Servants.
"Lord Swordmaster!"
"Both of you look good. It seems that you've had a good harvest in these ruins," Lin Huang teased them with a smile.
"The two of us teamed up to hunt some true god-level monsters, and our harvest was a little higher than expected." After Sword302 finished speaking, she asked Lin Huang with some confusion, "Lord Swordmaster's aura seems to have gotten stronger again, but your combat strength still hasn't broken through to virtual god-level?"
The reason she asked this was that if Lin Huang had broken through to virtual god-level, the combat strength of these Sword Servants would have been elevated to true god-level. However, the truth was that their combat strength was still stuck at Virtual God rank-9 without any change.
"Yes, there's been a small improvement, and I'll be elevating to virtual god-level soon." Lin Huang nodded slightly and did not explain anything in detail.
As they were chatting, a figure walked over quietly.
Lin Huang turned his head to look. The newcomer was dressed in a black robe and wore a white mask on his face. It was Death's Scythe's number one on the White Sickle Leaderboard, Virtuoso.
"I'm Virtuoso, may I know you?" Virtuoso took the initiative to strike up a conversation with Lin Huang.
Their voice sounded very neutral, making it impossible to tell their gender.
This time, at close range, Lin Huang noticed that the mask they wore was a simple white mask made of an unknown material. Apart from two red marks where the lips should have been, there were no holes where the eyes should have been.
Through the mask, Lin Huang could not see any expression on the other party's face.
Lin Huang even suspected that the red lips he had seen on the mask a month ago might have been an illusion.
"Hello, Huang Lin." Although Lin Huang was a little doubtful about the purpose of the other party taking the initiative to strike up a conversation, he still smiled and gave his fake name.
"We're all Death's Scythe's colleagues. The three of you don't look familiar, so I came over to get to know you," Virtuoso explained.
Although he said that, he had no intention of striking up a conversation with the two Sword Servants. He merely glanced at them.
"We did join recently," Lin Huang said with a smile.
"Keep it up. I have high hopes for all of you." After saying that, Virtuoso patted Lin Huang's shoulder and turned to leave.
"What is he trying to do? Just to say hello? "Lin Huang had no idea what Virtuoso meant at all.
Previously, he had registered for Death's Scythe as Xie Lin. He had never had any contact with Virtuoso at all; he had only seen their name on the White Sickle Leaderboard.
Now, he had appeared as Huang Lin, a cultivator who had come into contact with Death's Scythe for the first time. Not even Fallen Star and the others had recognized him.
Therefore, Virtuoso's action of taking the initiative to come over and say hello puzzled him.
Naturally, he knew that Virtuoso could not possibly have come over just to get to know the three of them because they looked unfamiliar.
There were at least a million Black Sickle members in Death's Scythe, and Virtuoso probably only knew a handful of them. If they took the initiative to strike up a conversation with someone they did not know, they would be exhausted.
Moreover, Fallen Star and the others had inadvertently revealed that Virtuoso was a cold and taciturn fellow. Basically, they ignored all of Death's Scythe's colleagues.
Virtuoso's initiative to strike up a conversation did not match their persona in Death's Scythe.
Virtuoso's behavior not only puzzled Lin Huang, but even Fallen Star and the others noticed it. They could not help glancing in Lin Huang's direction a few more times.
After this brief interlude, the participants from the major organizations quickly dispersed one after another.
Lin Huang also returned to the Iron Fist Shelter with the two Sword Servants.
As soon as they checked into the hotel, Lin Huang took out a storage ring and tossed it to Dao 301.
"This is my harvest from the Frost Territory. In addition to the monster carcasses, there are also spoils of war from the monsters' private stash. You guys can help me get rid of them. "
Dao 301 accepted the ring and was instantly stunned. "These third-rank True Gods were also hunted down by you, Lord Swordmaster?"
"Yes, is there a problem?"
"No, it's nothing …" Dao 301 shook his head hurriedly.
He and Sword302 had now unsealed nine types of Rule Bending Powers, but since the strength of their Divine Power was only at Virtual God level, their overall ability was equivalent to that of a second-rank True God.
What the two of them hunted together was basically second-rank True God prey. If they encountered third-rank monsters, they could only take a detour.
However, Lin Huang had hunted more than twenty third-rank true god-level monsters by himself.
After handing over the monster carcasses and other spoils of war to the two Sword Servants to deal with, Lin Huang rented a top-level cultivation room in the hotel, entered closed-door cultivation, and began to fully activate the Divine Fire integration.
As the days passed, the ten first-rank Divine Fires slowly integrated with the dark red Divine Fire in Lin Huang's body.
The color of the Divine Fire was also changing day by day.
As he watched the progress bar of the integration increase day by day, Lin Huang was increasingly looking forward to the transformation of his abilities after elevating to virtual god-level.
Twenty-eight days passed in a flash. In the ten golden Life Wheels, the integration of the Divine Fires was completed in less than ten minutes.
The originally dark red Divine Fire had now become a fiery red like charcoal crystals.
The moment the Divine Fire was completely integrated, the ten Life Wheels moved almost at the same time and flew directly out of the Life Palace.
After leaving the Life Palace, the ten Life Wheels formed a circle outside the Life Palace and began to spin wildly. Red Divine Fire surged out of the ten Life Wheels like a river, spewing toward the Life Palace.
In the blink of an eye, the entire Life Palace was engulfed by an endless sea of fire, and not a trace of it could be seen.
"Is this … consolidating the Godhead?"
The scene in front of him happened naturally after the integration of the Divine Fire was completed. Lin Huang did not control it at all; he merely witnessed it happen as a bystander.
The process of consolidating the Godhead had already begun, and Lin Huang simply waited patiently on the side.
This time, the eruption of the Divine Fire lasted for a full ten days.
Only then did the Life Palace in Lin Huang's body finally collapse completely, turning into specks of starlight.
Another ten days passed. Bathed in the Divine Fire, the countless specks of starlight slowly condensed into a black crystal the size of a thumb. Mysterious blood-colored Divine Patterns could be faintly seen on the surface of the crystal.
Only when the Godhead was completely formed did the Life Wheels stop spewing Divine Fire, turning into ten streams of light that submerged into the Godhead.
As soon as the Godhead was formed, circles of Divine Power immediately washed out in all directions, quickly spreading to every corner of Lin Huang's body.
At that moment, Lin Huang felt that every cell in his body was undergoing an intense transformation. Even the particles of his soul were transforming.
This transformation lasted for a full three days and three nights before it was completely completed.
When Lin Huang opened his eyes again, he felt as if he had been reborn.
"Finally, I've elevated to virtual god-level!"
