    After hanging up on Xia Bing, Lin Huang fell into deep thought.


    Initially, he thought he would move on with his own initiatives after Xia Bing released the oue of the investigation on the spies.


    Never had he thought that this would be the oue after he had nned everything.


    Even he had to admit that the ck Abyss executed this scheme perfectly.


    Not only did they solve the problem of having their spies exposed, they even managed to remove the threat of a grade-SSS organization.


    The seven organizations in the Eastern Eight Zone were now only six.


    However, Lin Huang knew that it was just beginning.


    Judging by the current situation, the ck Abyss had yet to develop to their peak, but already had the ability to put an end to a grade-SSS organization.


    As they recruited and gathered more Raiders and members from other organizations, they would only grow more powerful.


    Meanwhile, getting Star Cluster removed from the ranks of the grade-SSS organizations in the Eastern Eight Zone was an impressive feat for the ck Abyss.


    Although this battle would attract the attention of many powerful organizations, and alert them to the existence of the ck Abyss, to Lin Huang, their sess would attract more subversive people to join them and cause them to grow rapidly.


    Not only that, he had a feeling that preventing their spies from being exposed might not be the primary reason behind why the ck Abyss acted so radically.


    A few dayster, the deaths of the Star Cluster’s Star Masters were no longer trending on the inte.


    Most of the cultivators who loved to gossip had gone on with their lives.


    Only a small number of top organizations began to gather information about the ck Abyss through various channels.


    Even some of the star zones around the Eastern Eight Zone put their guards up regarding the ck Abyss. Many organizations began to investigate their own members.


    Meanwhile, Lin Huang had finally received the results from the auction.


    He received over 2,000 minor dao-level Kingdoms and some 800 major dao-level Kingdoms for the over 18,000 minor dao-level monster carcasses, and over 11,000 major dao-level monster carcasses, as well as some misceneous items.


    The reason why the trade ratio was so low was because Lin Huang requested that all of the Kingdoms had to beplete with living beings inside.


    The reason being was that he would gain more Dao seals unsealed only when there were Lords, or even dao-level powerhouses, in the Kingdom.


    In reality, Lin Huang had set the trade to be opened to different zones. The members of other organizations in the Eastern Eight Zone aside from Royal could also participate in the auction. The reason being was that he knew from the very beginning that he required arge amount of Kingdoms. The internal members of Royal would not have sufficient stock at all.


    That was how he finally received the final auction results after over half a month.


    As soon as Lin Huang obtained the Kingdoms, he entered the virtual realm without hesitation and went into closed-door cultivation.


    He had no idea how many years he spent in the virtual realm during this closed-door cultivation session.


    Nevertheless, he was rather satisfied with the growth in his level of ability.


    The over 2,000 minor dao-level Kingdoms unsealed close to 800,000 Dao seals for him. Over 350 million Dao seals were added to his Kingdom.


    The over 800 major dao-level Kingdoms unsealed over 70 million Dao seals. He increased the number of Dao seals in his Kingdom by 2.2 billion.


    Up to this point, Lin Huang had personally gathered 96.28 million Dao seals, while he had over three billion Dao seals in his Kingdom.


    What Lin Huang found unbelievable was that although he had consolidated close to a hundred million Dao seals, he had yet to see or feel his limit.


    It was even more ridiculous when it came to his Kingdom. It contained over three billion Dao seals, but had yet to reach its saturation point as well.


    What he felt was a pity was that, although his ability had increased significantly, the closed-door cultivation session did not result in any transformation of the God Weapons in his body.


    What pained Lin Huang even more was that the closed-door cultivation session had almost exhausted him of his spoils. He could almost be considered a poor man if he excluded the necessities he had on him.


    “I must think of a way to make money again…” Once again, Lin Huang felt the pains of being poor.


    After concealing his aura as much as he could, he left the virtual realm.


    The moment his virtual body faded, his consciousness returned to his body. He clearly sensed how powerful he was.


    As he was feeling and examining the changes his body had gone through, he suddenly felt a unique sense probing him.


    He spread out his Divine Telekinesis without hesitation. It shot forth through the air.


    Suddenly, he entered an unknown dimension.


    There was nothing there except a giant face with different appearances that were constantly changing.


    The face almost covered the entire world.


    Sometimes ‘It’ was a child. At other times, ‘It’ was an adult man, ady, or some other creature.


    “You can see me?” The giant face asked Lin Huang with a slightly shocked expression.


    “It would be ridiculous if I didn’t notice such a big face.” Lin Huang, who was in his Divine Telekinesis form, looked rather helpless. He could sense that the giant face had no ill intentions, but he did not know what kind of entity ‘It’ was exactly.


    He could only sense that ‘It’ was extremely powerful. It might even be more powerful than he was.


    “Were you watching me?” Lin Huang asked again, realizing that the giant face was observing him curiously and had said nothing.


    “I sensed your aura, so I took a peek,” the giant face exined, feeling embarrassed.


    “My name’s Lin Huang, a human.” Lin Huang took the initiative to introduce himself. “Are you a creature of this universe?”


    Lin Huang was quite curious about the giant face’s identity.


    “I’m not a creature. I’m Heavenly Dao,” the giant face exined.


    “Heavenly Dao?” Lin Huang was slightly stunned, but instantly understood ‘Its’ identity.


    “I’m the Heavenly Dao of this universe or, in another form of address, I am the consciousness of the universe.” The giant face thought about it and added, “You can see me as the universe. After all, my rtionship with the universe is almost the same as the rtionship between humans’ consciousness and their physical bodies.”


    In reality, even without having ‘It’s’ exnation, Lin Huang had already learned some information about Heavenly Dao from Qian Shisan.


    The Heavenly Dao of the chaotic cosmos was different from the Heavenly Dao in a heavenly dao-level powerhouse’s Kingdom in their body.


    The Heavenly Dao in a heavenly dao-level powerhouse’s body was man-made, abination of the consolidated Dao seals inside their Kingdom.


    To be exact, it was a tool a heavenly dao-level powerhouse made to control the Kingdom in their body perfectly by imitating the chaotic cosmos’ Heavenly Dao.


    Meanwhile, the chaotic cosmos’ Heavenly Dao was what it had been born with.


    Since the Heavenly Dao was born, ‘It’ had consciousness of its own.


    All living chaotic cosmoses would possess Heavenly Dao, no matter whether they were powerful or weak.


    Lin Huang also learned from Qian Shisan’s information that all dominator-level powerhouses would integrate with the Heavenly Dao’s nature, which was done bymunicating with the chaotic cosmos’ Heavenly Dao to integrate with their own Heavenly Dao.


    At that moment, Lin Huang had many thoughts running through his mind.


    “In reality, this wasn’t the first time I peeked at you,” Heavenly Dao suddenly added, “I noticed you before you even came to the universe.”


    “Before I came to the universe?” Lin Huang was quite confused.


    “That’s right, while you were still in the great world,” Heavenly Dao smiled and said, “Your energy fluctuations happened to reach the point where I could sense them. I peeked because I thought your energy fluctuations were unique.”


    Lin Huang suddenly recalled feeling a strange sense of probing at the time he reached the limit of lord-level during the closed-door cultivation session in the great world. However, it was only that one time. He had thought that it was an illusion.


    “I’ve been watching you secretly since you came to the universe. Not only that, I realized that I’m getting more and more attracted to your aura. The feeling is somewhat like… butterflies being attracted to the fragrance of flowers…”


    Lin Huang’s expression turned weird as he listened up to this point.


    “That aura came from your Kingdom. I have a faint feeling that I will gain an unprecedented opportunity to transform if I integrate with your Kingdom…”


    Lin Huang was a little excited when he heard that.


    He could not believe that Heavenly Dao would take the initiative to integrate with his Kingdom!


    “However, I haven’t thought it through, on whether I really want to do it or not, because I’m not sure what will happen after the integration…”


    What Heavenly Dao said calmed down Lin Huang’s excitement.


    He fell into silence for a moment before speaking up again. He did not urge ‘It’. Instead, he nodded to indicate that he understood Heavenly Dao’s hesitation.


    “It’s alright. After all, this matter involves your future. Take your time to consider. I can ept it no matter what the oue is.”


    “Thanks for your understanding.” Heavenly Dao’s giant face revealed a kind smile.


    “I have a question. Is my current Kingdom powerful enough to perform the integration? Or do I need to be more powerful?” Lin Huang could not help but ask a question.


    “It’s powerful enough. Although your Kingdom isn’t the most powerful one I’ve ever seen, it’s growing continuously… This is what attracts me.” Heavenly Dao nodded with determination.


    “I have another question. You should know the strength of my true ability. Do you think my aura has reached the standard of dominator-level?” This was what Lin Huang was eager to find out.


    His cultivation method was different from others, which caused him to not have a benchmark or reference that he couldpare himself to.


    Heavenly Dao smiled as ‘It’ answered when ‘It’ heard that question.


    “You’re still far from dominator-level. A legitimate dominator-level is a supreme powerhouse who has mastered the power of an entire chaotic cosmos at least. You’re somewhere between heavenly dao-level and dominator-level at most now. You can almost… be considered to be a half-step Dominator.”


    Although the answer was not what Lin Huang wanted to hear, he had at least gained an objective understanding of his ability now.


    After the two chatted for a little while, Lin Huang tried to obtain some information about the ck Abyss from Heavenly Dao, but he was denied any information.


    Heavenly Dao’s reason for rejection was simple. ‘It’ did not want to interfere with anyone’s destiny in the universe. It indicated directly that Lin Huang had to solve this with the Eastern Eight Zone and the organizations in the universe.


    Watching Heavenly Dao fading away on ‘Its’ own, Lin Huang’s Divine Telekinesis form returned to his physical body.


    “So I’m only at half-step dominator-level? Seems like I’m still not powerful enough!”
