After the meeting with Liu Ming, Lin Huang and his sister's schedule went on as usual for the next few days.
Lin Huang did not pay attention to the messages on social media. He did not continue to pay attention to the various noises on the internet either. All he did was read the news every day before he went to bed.
On this day, Lin Huang opened the news page before he went to bed.
The headline on the front page of the Coalition government's official website caught Lin Huang's attention immediately.
The title was' Peaceful Ocean Lockdown Notice! '
"Peaceful Ocean lockdown … What's going on?" With doubts, Lin Huang opened the notice immediately.
"Due to the significant increase in the overall strength of the monsters in the Peaceful Ocean, the Coalition government and the Hunters' Association will organize a joint cleanup in the near future. The Peaceful Ocean will be temporarily locked down during this period. All cultivators below virtual god-level are prohibited from entering. We'll release an unlocking notice as soon as the cleanup is completed and the hunting order will be restored. "
Lin Huang could not help but raise his brow after reading the notice.
His first thought was that the Coalition government had hidden the truth about the lockdown of the Peaceful Ocean. Even if they really wanted to clean up the monsters, there was no need to go to such lengths to seal the ocean.
Something must have happened and the Coalition government did not want the outside world to know about it. That was why they made such a decision.
Lin Huang dialed Huang Tianpu's contact number with a hint of doubt.
The video call was picked up before the waiting tone was even done ringing.
"Master Emperor!" Huang Tianpu greeted him with a smile as soon as he saw Lin Huang's face.
Lin Huang nodded lightly. "Tianpu, how's Dynasty recently?"
"Everything's as usual." Huang Tianpu explained in detail after that, "Mr. Fu and Lin Xuan are still in closed-door cultivation. Some of the other Virtual Gods are in closed-door cultivation while some are in Royal ruins. Nothing unusual has been reported at the moment. "
"Oh … I almost forgot. There's another piece of good news. Huang Wuji has elevated to virtual god-level. He just did it two days ago. I thought it wasn't a big deal, so I didn't want to disturb you. "
"With his talent and potential, it's normal for him to elevate." Lin Huang nodded slightly. Back then, Huang Wuji was one of the Five Sovereigns who shared the same fame as Chan Dou. He could be said to be a peerless genius of the younger generation.
If it weren't for Lin Huang's sudden appearance that overshadowed the Five Emperors, the Five Emperors would probably have become the strongest experts of this era.
Moreover, if Lin Huang had not interfered, Huang Wuji might have become the Emperor of Dynasty by now.
"The First Prince's ascension is indeed something worth celebrating. Reward him with a top-notch god relic weapon and a set of top-notch god relic armor. As for the other rewards, I'll leave it to you. "
"Alright, I'll make the arrangements now." Huang Tianpu nodded immediately.
"By the way, I saw the Coalition government's notice of the closure of the Peaceful Ocean today. What happened over there?" After talking about Huang Wuji, Lin Huang shifted the topic to the direction he wanted to ask the most.
"I don't have any exact news at the moment," Huang Tianpu continued after speaking, "However, I heard that a few Virtual Gods from the Coalition government died in the Peaceful Ocean. However, this news hasn't been confirmed, and I don't have any specific news on my side. "
"Remember to inform me as soon as you have any news." Lin Huang nodded.
The duo chatted for a while more before Lin Huang hung up the phone.
"Some Virtual Gods died in the Peaceful Ocean …" Lin Huang was still more concerned about the issue of the Peaceful Ocean's closure. "It's normal for Virtual Gods to die. After all, there are many powerful monsters in the deep waters of the Peaceful Ocean. Moreover, those monsters are even more powerful now that the world rules are complete.
"However, I'm afraid it won't be that simple to seal off the entire Peaceful Ocean." The reason Lin Huang made such a judgment was that he had dealt with Jiang Shan and Dongfang Bai more than once. He knew very well that the duo would not make such a decision easily given their personalities.
With a gossipy mood, Lin Huang clicked on the black market forum.
Soon, he saw topics related to the closure of the Peaceful Ocean, and there were quite a few of them.
He clicked on some of the more popular posts to check them out and realized that there were all sorts of topics.
Some people said that a powerful monster suspected to be a True God had appeared in the Peaceful Ocean and killed all the Virtual Gods that the Coalition government had sent to search for.
Some people said that a dimensional gateway to the great world had appeared in the depths of the Peaceful Ocean, and that a great world army had come to attack.
Some people even said that the monsters at the bottom of the Peaceful Ocean had mutated. Many of the monsters' abilities had skyrocketed, and the area had become a forbidden zone for humans.
After reading through the posts, Lin Huang was even more confused about what had happened in the Peaceful Ocean.
Although he knew at a glance that many of the posts were fake, some of the content described in the posts had a possibility of being true.
After closing the black market forum, Lin Huang pondered for a moment and decided to put the matter of the Peaceful Ocean to the back of his mind for the time being.
In his opinion, this matter had little to do with him. Although he was curious, he was not nosy enough to ask Jiang Shan or Dongfang Bai directly. He chose to wait patiently for news from Dynasty.
Time flew by, and another three days passed.
Lin Huang and his sister left the Magical Sky City where the Martial Arts Academy was located in foothold No.3A1 and arrived at Wanbao City in foothold No.3A5.
Lin Xin chose Wanbao City because it was the biggest trading city in Division 3 and one of the biggest trading centers in the entire gravel world.
She wanted to see if there was anything that she wanted.
As soon as the siblings checked in at the hotel after breakfast, Lin Huang's Emperor's Heart Ring vibrated all of a sudden.
He could not help but raise his brow when he opened the communication page.
He thought it would be Huang Tianpu who called, but he did not expect it to be the Coalition government's chairman, Jiang Shan.
Seeing that it was Jiang Shan who was calling, the first thought that came to Lin Huang's mind was, 'Could it be related to the Peaceful Ocean?!'
With that thought in mind, Lin Huang picked up the video call request that Jiang Shan had sent.
"How have you been, Emperor Lin?" Although Jiang Shan had a smile on his face, it was a little unnatural.
"I'm fine. I get to see beautiful scenery and eat delicious food every day," Lin Huang replied while smiling, "Traveling is really something that makes people happy."
Of course, Jiang Shan and the rest knew that Lin Huang had been on vacation recently.
"I'm sorry to disturb your vacation." Jiang Shan's smile had a hint of helplessness.
Of course, he would not be so thick-skinned as to look for Lin Huang if he had not encountered a last resort.
"Is it about the Peaceful Ocean?" Lin Huang asked while raising his brow.
"Yes." Jiang Shan nodded immediately.
"Tell me in detail. What's going on?"
"More than half a month ago, we sent a few Virtual Gods to the Peaceful Ocean to explore … the entrance to the great world that you mentioned." Jiang Shan looked up at Lin Huang's reaction, feeling a little embarrassed. "A team of Virtual Gods with a total of 11 people led by a Virtual God rank-4. On the day of the exploration, all 11 of them went missing, one after another.
"On the third day after they went missing, we gathered another two teams led by Virtual God rank-6 and went to the Peaceful Ocean to investigate the reason for their disappearance. The two teams each had 25 Virtual Gods, including four mid-stage Virtual Gods. On the second day after the two teams went to the ocean, people began to go missing again. On the third day, everyone went missing.
"After the second investigation failed, we spent another week. Three days ago, which was the day the notice was issued, we gathered a large team and went to the Peaceful Ocean again. Two Virtual God rank-9s led the team and thirty-six mid-stage Virtual Gods into the ocean to investigate. Last night, Guan Zhong reported to me that all of them had gone missing … "
