At half past eight in the morning, Lin Huang ate his breakfast unhurriedly before returning to the Emperor Palace.
"It's about time to send out the coordinates."
He glanced at the time, opened the address book on his Emperor's Heart Ring, and selected Jiang Shan, Huang Tianfu, and Ku Ji's names. He then wrote a message and sent it over.
The content of this message was the coordinates of the dimensional gateway to the great world.
Lin Huang had put in a lot of effort for this dimensional gateway.
First of all, to prevent people from the gravel world from being teleported to the God Territory, he had spent several days before setting the dimensional gateway in the human territory.
Secondly, it was to prevent the death rate of Virtual Gods from the gravel world from going to the great world.
After opening up this dimensional gateway, he secretly tampered with the surroundings of the dimensional gateway on the gravel world's side. He used the divine pattern to suppress a Frost Elemental Enlightenment.
Any living creature that came within a certain distance of the dimensional gateway would be slowly frozen by the chill radiating from the divine pattern.
If one did not master God Rule Power, only those whose Divine Power exceeded Virtual God rank-6 (excluding rank-6) could rely on their Divine Power to resist the ice and enter the dimensional gateway.
Those who had mastered God Rule Power could easily resist the erosion of the chill. Since the Elemental Enlightenment that Lin Huang had stored in the divine pattern was only at First Glimpse, the chill emitted by the divine pattern was not the power of the Elemental Enlightenment itself, but the pure chill after isolating the Elemental Enlightenment.
As for cultivators below high-level Virtual God who had not mastered God Rule Power, as long as they retreated in time, the erosion of the Elemental Enlightenment would soon fade automatically. However, if someone insisted on approaching despite the erosion of the chill, they would be completely frozen in the end.
However, he did not tell anyone that he had made this setting. He only mentioned it vaguely in a text message sent to a few people, "The surrounding area of the dimensional gateway is shrouded in chill. Those who are not high-level Virtual Gods cannot enter."
This setting was actually made for the good of the people in the gravel world.
This was because most of the resources in the great world were monopolized by various organizations of all sizes.
It was very difficult for those below high-level Virtual Gods to join any major organizations in the great world. Even if they were lucky enough to join a grade-3 or grade-4 organization, they could basically only make a living by doing odd jobs. It was extremely difficult to obtain cultivation resources.
If one were to be a lone ranger, not only would the death rate be extremely high, but every time one entered someone else's secret realm ruins, they would have to hand over at least 50% of their gains. Some black-hearted forces would even take more than 70% of their gains. Even the occasional ownerless secret realm ruins would be fought over by a bunch of desperate wandering cultivators. Without a faction to maintain order, the danger level would only be higher.
Unless they were like Chan Dou and Huang Wuji, who had astonishing talent and potential and would be heavily nurtured by various factions, the others could only slowly rise to the top.
If it was in the past, Lin Huang would definitely not spend so much effort to do these things. He had always been a person who did not like trouble.
However, now that he had refined the gravel world, his mindset had changed slightly. He vaguely felt that these people were his people. That was why he had spent several days making these arrangements.
The people who received the message were also in different states after reading it.
Huang Tianfu and Ku Ji had no doubts about the message that Lin Huang sent. They did not doubt the warning that he gave. Since Lin Huang said that those below high-level Virtual Gods should not attempt to pass, he must have his reasons. All they had to do was obey. As for the message that Lin Huang mentioned not to spread, it was best to keep it strictly confidential.
After Jiang Shan saw this message, he was completely different.
"The coordinates were sent over so easily? There are no substantive requirements or conditions for the transaction? " The first reaction in Jiang Shan's mind was to doubt the authenticity of these coordinates because Lin Huang had sent this message too easily. However, this idea was rejected in an instant because giving false coordinates would be too easy to expose. All they had to do was send someone to the coordinates to take a look, and they would know whether it was real or fake. This process would take less than half an hour.
"The dimensional gateway is shrouded in cold air, and only high-level Virtual Gods can enter?" Jiang Shan was also skeptical about this warning. "Can't beginner-stage Virtual Gods enter the dimensional gateway?"
As for the message that mentioned not to spread it, Jiang Shan had no doubts about this. This kind of information was confidential in itself, and it could be sold for a high price. How could it be spread for free?!
After carefully reading the message that Lin Huang sent three times to confirm that there was no hidden message, Jiang Shan closed the message and called the two vice presidents and several other senior executives to call an emergency meeting.
…
At 9 am sharp, everyone had gathered in front of the Emperor's Palace.
Huang Tianfu and the rest of Dynasty's senior executives stood nearby and watched quietly.
Apart from Lin Huang and Lin Xin, Mr. Fu, Lin Xuan, Xiao Mo, Chan Dou, and Huang Wuji were there.
As for the Yi siblings, Leng Yuexin, and Li Lang, their combat strength was still on imperial-level. They had yet to elevate to Virtual God, so it was not appropriate for Lin Huang to bring them away.
As for Fatso, even though he had great potential after using the Flawless Card, he spent most of his time in the restaurant, so he had less time to cultivate compared to the rest. He had just contacted Lin Huang a few days ago and told him that he had broken through to transcendent-level. He had no idea how far he was from virtual god-level.
Lin Huang glanced at everyone and nodded lightly. "Since everyone's here, let's go!"
He extended his hand as soon as he was done speaking, and a vortex that looked like a black hole formed automatically in the air.
Chan Dou and the rest were stunned to see that. It was their first time seeing such a technique.
Lin Xin and Lin Xuan were the first to step into the vortex and disappear. Mr. Fu and the rest followed one after another, and Lin Huang was the last one.
Before he stepped into the vortex, he turned around to look at where Huang Tianfu and the rest were standing and nodded lightly at them.
"Master Emperor, take care!" Huang Tianfu and the rest waved at Lin Huang and shouted.
Lin Huang then turned around and stepped into the vortex.
A moment later, the vortex in front of the Emperor's Palace disappeared gradually.
"I wonder when Master Emperor will be back …"
Huang Tianfu and the rest watched the vortex disappear in disappointment. They only turned around and left after a long time.
After stepping out of the vortex, Lin Xin and the rest realized that they were deep in the sea.
Not far away, half of a giant sunken ship was buried by sand and mud. One could only vaguely make out the shape of a huge ship.
A moment later, Lin Huang also walked out of the vortex.
His gaze only lingered on the sunken ship before him for a moment before he suddenly turned his head and looked in a certain direction.
At that moment, Lin Xuan frowned slightly. "Someone's coming?!"
"It's people from the Coalition government. I sent the coordinates to Jiang Shan half an hour ago," Lin Huang explained calmly, "They're probably here to check on the dimensional gateway."
As Lin Huang spoke, he pressed his palm on Huang Wuji's shoulder next to him and injected Ice Elemental Enlightenment into his body.
Mr. Fu and Lin Xuan were both True Gods. Lin Xin was a Virtual God rank-9, while Xiao Mo and Chan Dou were Virtual God rank-3, but they had already mastered Rule Bending Power. Huang Wuji was the only one who had just elevated to Virtual God rank-1 and was far from being able to touch Rule Bending Power. He was also the only one who could not enter the dimensional gateway on his own.
Huang Wuji only felt a chill in his body, but soon he had a different and mysterious feeling. Before he could feel it in detail, the Coalition government's team had already arrived in front of him.
The leader was an old acquaintance of Lin Huang's — the chief of Agency EA, Guan Zhong.
Seeing Lin Huang and the others, Guan Zhong's expression was obviously a little awkward.
"Your Majesty!" However, he still took the initiative to greet him, "Are you ready to leave?"
Lin Huang glanced at the team led by Guan Zhong. There were not many people, only six of them, and their combat levels were all different. They were Virtual God rank-1, Virtual God rank-4, Virtual God rank-6, Virtual God rank-7, and Virtual God rank-9.
Although Guan Zhong was only a Virtual God rank-4, his position was obviously the highest.
"Yes," Lin Huang nodded lightly. He had no opinion of Guan Zhong, and the two of them had never had any conflicts. It was just that their positions were different, so it was difficult for them to be friends.
"Then … you guys go first?" Of course, Guan Zhong did not dare to cut Lin Huang's team.
"There's no hurry. I'd like to see the results of your probing of this area," Lin Huang said with a smile.
Guan Zhong obviously did not expect Lin Huang to say that, but he reacted quickly.
"Please wait a moment, Your Majesty. We'll try first."
As soon as he finished speaking, he let the two Virtual God rank-1 and Virtual God rank-3 enter the shipwreck first.
As soon as the Virtual God rank-1 got close to the shipwreck, a layer of white frost began to quickly condense on his body without warning before he was within a hundred meters of it. He tried to take two more steps forward, but the speed at which his body froze began to accelerate rapidly, and it was already too late for him to retreat.
At this moment, the Virtual God rank-9 of the Coalition government suddenly attacked. A long vine swept out, wrapping around his waist that had not been completely frozen, and pulled him out.
Fortunately, the Virtual God rank-1 was not completely frozen. After leaving the shipwreck, his body began to slowly unfreeze. However, the expression on his face was full of lingering fear and horror. "It's so cold. This kind of cold seems to freeze even my soul … After I took the last two steps, my entire body couldn't move, and I couldn't escape even if I wanted to …"
Seeing what happened to his companion, the Virtual God rank-3 was obviously much more cautious. His steps were very small and slow.
As soon as he entered the hundred-meter zone, his body began to freeze at an accelerated rate. He frantically mobilized the Divine Power in his body to resist it, but the cold was almost all-pervasive, rapidly depleting his Divine Power every second …
He moved forward slowly, step by step. As soon as he stepped into the fifty-meter zone, his body also began to freeze at an accelerated rate. Thinking of what happened to his companion earlier, he did not dare to move forward rashly. He decisively burned his Divine Power and retreated.
"This won't do. I can only go about fifty meters at most. I think I'll be completely frozen if I take another step or two …" His body was shivering from the cold, and he shook his head at Guan Zhong.
Guan Zhong hurriedly handed over a Divine Crystal to him to replenish his Divine Power.
If a Virtual God rank-3 could only go about fifty meters, then there was no need for him, a Virtual God rank-4, to even try. He turned his head and nodded at the Virtual God rank-6.
The Virtual God rank-6's expression was solemn as he began to approach the shipwreck step by step.
A few minutes later, he finally landed on the sunken ship, but the moment he set foot on the sunken ship, a layer of white frost rapidly climbed up his legs and ankles like a living thing, and then quickly spread up his body.
The Virtual God rank-9 from the Coalition government was already holding the rattan in his hand, ready to help at any time.
The Virtual God rank-6 mobilized all the Divine Power in his body, but he only resisted for a moment before his Divine Power was completely exhausted. Seeing that the frost was rapidly covering his body, the Virtual God rank-9 attacked again, and the rattan quickly swept out.
The rattan had just touched the Virtual God rank-6's waist and was about to wrap him up, but the frost climbed up the rattan directly. As soon as the Virtual God rank-9 exerted his strength, the part of the rattan that was wrapped around his waist disintegrated.
"Oh no!" The Virtual God rank-9's heart skipped a beat.
However, at this moment, the Virtual God rank-6's body suddenly rose into the air, as if he was being pulled back by some invisible force.
The Coalition government members activated their Divine Telekinesis, and only then did they realize that there was a colorless, invisible telekinetic thread wrapped around his waist. Looking in the direction in which the telekinetic thread had retracted, their gazes finally fell on Lin Huang.
"You're welcome," Lin Huang said with a faint smile.
He had saved the Virtual God rank-6 because he was the one who had set up this thing. Moreover, his goal was not to kill, but to stop those who overestimated themselves from rashly entering the great world.
After settling the Virtual God rank-6, the Virtual God rank-7's expression was a little ugly, but he still moved forward steadily, stepping toward the shipwreck.
His entire body surged with Divine Power, and he soon set foot on the shipwreck. The moment he set foot, frost began to condense on his feet, but he suppressed it with his Divine Power.
He hesitated for a moment but chose to continue moving forward. After entering the shipwreck's hole, he kept going down, heading toward the coordinates Lin Huang had given him.
Fortunately, this time, it was relatively smooth.
After entering the shipwreck, the Virtual God rank-7's aura did not rapidly weaken.
After about ten minutes, he retreated from the shipwreck, his body covered in frost. Although he looked exhausted, he was obviously relieved.
"How was it? Did you see the dimensional gateway? "Guan Zhong asked quickly.
"I saw it." The Virtual God rank-7 nodded.
"How strong is the chill?" The Virtual God rank-9 next to him asked.
"With the strength of my Divine Power, I can just about pass through the area shrouded in the chill. However, entering and exiting it almost drained my Divine Power. " The Virtual God rank-7 explained, "Also, the closer you get to the dimensional gateway, the stronger the chill, and the greater the drain on your Divine Power. I'm guessing that even if a Virtual God rank-6 had a large number of Divine Crystals, they wouldn't be able to pass through, because the speed of Divine Power absorption is far slower than the speed of consumption. "
"I'll go take a look." The Virtual God rank-9 nodded slightly and walked straight toward the shipwreck, clearly ready to test it out himself.
Although the Virtual God rank-7 had returned alive, the Virtual God rank-9 still walked very carefully. It took him about ten minutes to retreat from the shipwreck.
When he returned to Guan Zhong, the two of them chatted through voice transmission for a while.
A moment later, Guan Zhong turned his head to look at Lin Huang again.
"Your Majesty, I've taken up a lot of your time."
His gaze then lingered on Xiao Mo, Chan Dou, and Huang Wuji for a moment. "You've seen the results of our test here. I'm afraid it'll be very difficult for Chan Dou and the others to pass. "
Seeing the results of the Coalition government's test, Chan Dou and the others were indeed worried.
"Thank you for the reminder." Lin Huang nodded slightly at Guan Zhong and did not refute. He then led the others toward the shipwreck.
Guan Zhong and the others kept an eye on Chan Dou and the others, wanting to see what Lin Huang would do after their bodies froze. However, what surprised them was that Lin Huang and the others advanced smoothly all the way until all of them landed on the shipwreck. None of them showed any signs of being contaminated by frost.
Inside the shipwreck, Chan Dou and Xiao Mo had long since understood what was going on. As soon as the two of them stepped within a hundred meters of the shipwreck, the Rule Bending Power in their bodies automatically surged, completely isolating the chill from their bodies.
As for Huang Wuji, who had not comprehended Rule Bending Power, he was also protected by the trace of Elemental Enlightenment that Lin Huang had infused into him. Since it was of the same origin as the Freeze Power, he did not feel the slightest chill.
As they watched Lin Huang and the others enter the shipwreck, a moment later, a spatial fluctuation came from beneath the shipwreck, and their auras all disappeared.
Guan Zhong and the others fell silent for a moment.
"How did they do it?"
At this moment, the Virtual God rank-9 spoke, "It must be Rule Bending Power. Lin Huang injected Rule Bending Power into the two Virtual God rank-3s and the Virtual God rank-1s to protect them …"
