1423 A Blind Spot in Mr. Fu’s Knowledge (1/2)
The thirty-three space rifts were all guarded by Lin Huang's summoning beasts and God's Figurine's Combat Souls, so the Virtual Gods from the gravel world were finally able to catch a break.
Many people looked upon Lin Huang with conflicting emotions; his abilities had completely exceeded the expectations of everyone present. They were all awestruck by how powerful Lin Huang was, yet at the same time, they feared him.
Everyone was aware that even if all the Virtual Gods of the entire gravel world were present, their defenses would have broken sooner or later. However, with Lin Huang here, the invaders from the great world would at least consistently fail in their explorations before the True Gods arrived.
Nevertheless, the thirty-three imperial monsters that Lin Huang summoned were also a great threat to everyone. He could slaughter all the Virtual Gods of the entire gravel world with a simple flip of his hand if he really wanted to. (Most of the people present did not know that the last twelve monsters Lin Huang had summoned were God's Figurine's Combat Souls, not summoning beasts.)
The Union Government was extremely conscious of Lin Huang's unpredictability, not only because he was strong as an individual, but also because he had Dynasty—one of the six giants—backing him. As far as the Union Government was concerned, this was a great threat to them.
For more than eight hundred years, the Union Government had been the official representative of the entire gravel world, so they certainly did not want this position to be taken by another organization.
With this concern in mind, Dongfang Bai could not help directing a question at Lin Huang.
”Emperor Lin, if by luck we win this war, what do you plan to do next?”
The question attracted attention but not Lin Huang's; rather, all the higher-ups of the other big organizations present pricked up their ears and awaited his answer.
Mr. Fu lofted a brow, glancing at Dongfang Bai with a measure of obvious dissatisfaction.
Dongfang Bai's question might have seemed to be mere random small talk, but those with a discerning eye understood the real meaning behind his question.
”What do you mean, 'if by luck we win'?” Lin Huang turned his head to look at Dongfang Bai. ”In this war, we must win. There is no second choice!”
Everyone was stunned by Lin Huang's words, but they quickly regained their senses. They all felt that Lin Huang was changing the topic of discussion and deliberately avoiding the question.
Just when Dongfang Bai was about to laugh it off and let the topic slide, Lin Huang spoke up again.
Of course, Lin Huang knew what Dongfang Bai was trying to ask, so he gave the answer that Dongfang Bai wanted to hear.
As a matter of fact, that was what he was planning to do anyway. In his current situation, it did not make much sense for him to remain in the gravel world. Only in the great world could his combat level be subsequently elevated.
Moreover, there was a high probability that Lin Xin would be able to directly break through to virtual god-level after her current closed-door cultivation. Once they arrived in the great world, she most likely would have some measure of ability to protect herself, however small.
Mr. Fu's combat level had also reached rank-9. If he wanted to achieve another breakthrough and advance to true god-level, he could only do so in the great world.
As for the people of Dynasty and Misery, Lin Huang felt that if some of them wanted to depart with him, he would take them along. If not, he would let them stay and develop on their own.
After receiving a response like this from Lin Huang, Dongfang Bai finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He did not doubt Lin Huang's words because he knew that the main purpose of Lin Huang's trip to the great world a year and a half ago was to rapidly increase his abilities. Now that he had returned one and a half years later, there were genuinely no resources in the gravel world that were suitable for him to use in his cultivation.
Although Lin Huang's answer satisfied the Union Government, Dongfang Bai still had to be courteous and offer up pleasantries.
”This is our hometown after all, and our family and friends are all here. If I do go to the great world one day, I myself might want to come back occasionally to meet up with friends and family.”
When the people around heard that Lin Huang was planning to leave, they all had mixed thoughts.
Some of them were considering whether or not they should go to the great world with Lin Huang.
