Chapter 1933: Save Your Effort
First Liege was stunned when he saw Lin Huang appear.
He sensed clearly that Lin Huang's aura was so powerful that it was suffocating. He even realized clearly that Lin Huang could kill him with merely a finger!
However, he was unwilling to believe what he was seeing.
"Impossible! I've obtained the Heavenly Dao authorization. It's impossible for your integration speed to surpass mine!
"This must be an illusion that you created, right?!" First Liege turned to look toward where Great Chaotic Heavenly Dao was. "He's not the real Lin Huang!"
At that very moment, an intense sense of danger suddenly rose in his heart.
The next second, he saw a bloody gleam devour his body.
After losing consciousness for a moment, First Liege revived. He saw Lin Huang, who was not far away, retracting his outstretched finger.
"Do you believe I'm real now?" Lin Huang looked at First Liege while smiling.
However, he also secretly thought to himself, 'As I thought, I can't kill him.'
After obtaining the Heavenly Dao authorization, First Liege had turned into the Heavenly Dao's will. Just like Great Chaotic Heavenly Dao, he could not be killed.
Unless someone was so powerful that he was beyond all of the rules of the infinite universe, and more powerful than Great Chaotic Heavenly Dao, it was not possible for him to kill the infinite universe's Heavenly Dao's will.
No matter how powerful Lin Huang was, he had not become a Transcender after all. Naturally, he could accomplish such a feat.
What he did just now was a test.
The result was as he expected.
"How… did your ability elevate so quickly?!" First Liege finally snapped back to his senses after being killed.
He had secretly watched the battle between Lin Huang and Aza back then, so he had a rough idea of Lin Huang's previous strength. However, the current Lin Huang standing before him had a level of ability that had completely eclipsed his previous strength. He had become many times more powerful compared to his previous self from 40 or so days ago!
This greatly confused First Liege.
"Perhaps it's because of my extraordinary gift?" Lin Huang teasingly said with a smile.
In reality, even he himself thought the speed of elevation of his ability was too terrifying throughout this period of time.
Before using the time flow acceleration in the Great Heaven Palace, his daily integration speed was already considered fast. He had over a quattuordecillion chaotic cosmoses (10^40), while he had over 90 quattuordecillion of chaotic cosmoses in his Kingdom.
It had been 40 or so days since he used the time flow acceleration in the Great Heaven Palace.
The number of chaotic cosmoses he integrated had reached 6.4 trevigintillion (10^72) now. Meanwhile, he had 42 trevigintillion chaotic cosmoses in his Kingdom. This number continued to grow daily.
He had a strong feeling that integrating all of the chaotic cosmoses in the entire universe seemed to be entirely possible now.
Seeing that Lin Huang did not answer his question, First Liege continued asking, "Why isn't there a limit to your Kingdom? Why can your physical body and God's soul contain Dominator Power of such strength?!"
This time, Lin Huang finally responded after thinking about it.
"Perhaps my body was born special?"
Lin Huang teased First Liege again.
Only he knew that he had a unique Kingdom. The reason being was that when he built his Life Palace, it was extraordinarily compact, which caused it to be much more powerful than powerhouses of the same level later on. It was not until he was elevated to a dominator-level that the unusualness of his Kingdom displayed itself entirely—There was no limit to his Kingdom at all.
As there was no limit, his cultivation did not meet any obstacles after arriving at dominator-level. He could integrate chaotic cosmoses endlessly and strengthen himself continuously.
This fortified his physical body and God's soul over and over again. Therefore, no matter how powerful his Dominator Power grew, his physical body and God's soul never felt any pressure.
First Liege's aura was plummeting as they chatted.
As Lin Huang targeted the chaotic cosmoses that First Liege had integrated, the number of chaotic cosmoses in First Liege's Kingdom was dropping at a speed that was visible to the naked eye as Lin Huang forcefully assimilated the other party's chaotic cosmoses.
First Liege could not stop the assimilation from happening at all.
Although his current self was countless times more powerful than his Primordium, to Lin Huang, he was just like Aza from over 40 days ago.
In the presence of Lin Huang, he could only watch as his chaotic cosmoses were assimilated, without any avenue to fight back at all.
"You can't do that, Lin Huang! These are the chaotic cosmoses that I spent great effort to integrate. You're robbing my possessions! You're a bandit!" First Liege exclaimed as he sensed the unusual sensations coming from the Kingdom in his body.
"Let's get something straight. We're enemies now. Isn't it normal to rob your enemy?" Lin Huang looked as if what he did made complete sense.
However, he was thinking about something else entirely. 'I would've killed you if I could. Do you think I'd waste my time doing this otherwise?'
"Fight a fair battle with me when I've integrated enough chaotic cosmoses if you dare! Do you think that what you're doing now is fair?" First Liege continued screaming.
"Do you take me for a fool? Why would I fight a fair battle with you? Isn't prevention better than cure?" Lin Huang looked at First Liege like he was looking at a fool.
In reality, the plan that Bloody provided could be achieved even if Lin Huang did not have the time flow acceleration in the Great Heaven Palace.
The nature of the plan was that Lin Huang would plunder the chaotic cosmoses in First Liege's Kingdom by force before his integration speed caught up to Lin Huang's.
As long as the plundering speed was fast enough, he could decrease First Liege's integration efficiency so that the number of chaotic cosmoses he integrated would not be doubled daily, and even make that number a negative one.
Naturally, if Lin Huang did not have the time flow acceleration speed from the Great Heaven Palace, he would have had to do this to First Liege earlier.
He had to do it to First Liege's chaotic cosmoses before the latter's Dominator Power could assimilate them fast enough.
Just like what was happening now, First Liege could not fight back when Lin Huang started assimilating the chaotic cosmoses in his Kingdom.
Initially, he could integrate 1.3 quindecillion (10^48) chaotic cosmoses daily. However, Lin Huang's assimilation efficiency was quite stunning. Barely a few minutes had passed, yet the chaotic cosmoses First Liege integrated today had already dropped close to zero.
Seeing that Lin Huang did not intend to stop, First Liege finally lost his patience and attacked him.
Although he knew that he was far from being Lin Huang's match, he attacked anyway.
He used almost all of the Dominator Power that he had mastered in this saber attack.
Even the saber weapon that was an infinite supreme treasure could not bear the Dominator Power that had been infused into the attack; it was crushed directly.
First Liege retrieved the remaining saber spirit after the weapon was crushed and integrated it into his attack.
The attack that contained a quindecillion of Dominator Power shot into the sky in a destructive and domineering fashion. Its target was the space between Lin Huang's brows.
As soon as the saber was swung, the entire dimension shook as if it was experiencing a major earthquake.
The saber gleam that was as bright as billions of exploding stars arrived before Lin Huang immediately. Before the endless energy penetrated his head, it was suddenly extinguished ten centimeters away from his head…
The terrifying attack that was powerful enough to crush hundreds of millions of chaotic cosmoses seemed to have been wiped away by an unknown power instantly.
It disappeared without a trace!
"Save your effort. Your attack can't break through my defense at all," Lin Huang spoke slowly.
First Liege was in utter shock.
Chapter 1934: Living Death
First Liege had mastered over a quindecillion chaotic cosmoses at this moment.
He had swung his saber without holding anything back.
This destructive attack would crush anyone in the infinite universe into mush. Whether it was Aza who was at His peak before or Aza whom Lin Huang assimilated over 40 days ago, it was impossible for anyone to survive this attack.
However, when the attack encountered the man in front of him, he found that it could not even break through his defense.
The most terrifying thing was that Lin Huang had not used any defensive techniques at all.
"Impossible…"
Disbelief filled First Liege's face. Soon after, he swung his saber second and third time maniacally…
Dazzling saber gleams were flung out without holding back. He unleashed all of his strength with each attack.
He slashed hundreds of millions of times, sending out countless saber gleams almost instantly. The glaring gleams made it seem like the universe had exploded as they charged toward Lin Huang.
However, no matter how much saber gleams there were, no matter how dazzling they were, they would dim automatically and disappear entirely when they reached a certain distance from Lin Huang.
None of them could get within ten centimeters of him.
There seemed to be an invisible wall around him, blocking any interference from the outside world.
Lin Huang who was on the other side of the wall seemed untouchable.
In reality, that was not even a defensive technique. Lin Huang did not even activate his Dominator Power. It was just that there was so much Dominator Power in his body that some of it leaked out. The leaked energy alone was enough to crush all of First Liege's attacks easily.
Essentially, the gap between them was just too big.
First Liege's attacks on Lin Huang was like a regular man swinging his saber before a giant beast that could stir up a tsunami.
Disregarding whether he could harm the giant beast, his attacks were not even strong enough to defend himself against the tsunami that the beast stirred up by breathing.
Although First Liege's attacks were no threat to him at all, Lin Huang was quite annoyed.
"Annoying."
Before the endless saber gleams dimmed entirely, Lin Huang lifted his arm. A blood-colored gleam shot forth from the tip of his finger.
The blood-colored gleam looked like it was only as thick as a thumb, but it penetrated the space between First Liege's eyebrows instantly.
First Liege looked shocked, and his body began to fade away quickly. His God's soul collapsed as well.
After killing First Liege again, the endless saber gleams disappeared entirely.
However, it only took a moment for First Liege's body to consolidate again from thin air.
The scene from a few minutes ago, where Lin Huang killed First Liege, appeared again.
He was revived once again thanks to the Heavenly Dao authorization.
After obtaining the Heavenly Dao authorization, First Liege's will had been imprinted on Great Chaotic Heavenly Dao. The will could not be removed.
As long as the will existed, First Liege could be revived an endless number of times. It basically meant that he was immortal.
After being revived the second time, First Liege soon noticed this fact.
He suddenly laughed hysterically when he saw his reconstructed body that was as good as before, "Hahahaha…"
Lin Huang frowned when he saw the latter's reaction.
First Lege laughed for quite a while before he said to Lin Huang with a grin, "I almost forgot. You can't kill me at all! You can kill me 1,000 times, or even 10,000 times, but as long as you can't remove my Heavenly Dao's will, you can't kill me for real!"
Lin Huang merely raised his eyebrows when he heard that, after which he responded slowly, "Have you heard of the term 'living death'?"
First Liege was stunned when he heard that. He suddenly felt chills all over his body.
He only remembered the fact that Lin Huang could not kill him, but he forgot that the current Lin Huang had abilities that far surpassed his own. Even if he could not kill him, the man had many ways to torture him…
Just as he was feeling a little lost, he suddenly felt a strong binding force on his limbs. Soon, his body was hung in a humiliating position against his will.
"This is called the tortoise shell bondage…" Lin Huang explained patiently, "I didn't do it properly. Let me try again…"
First Liege felt the force momentarily loosen, but he was quickly tied up again the very next second. The movements in his limbs were even more limited now.
"Hmm, as I thought. It's always better to test things out on a real person." Lin Huang finally nodded in satisfaction. "I've got the hang of the tortoise shell bondage now, which one should I try next?"
"Lin Huang, you…" First Liege could not fight back and could only watch himself being tied up in a humiliating manner. He could only verbally attack Lin Huang.
However, before he managed to say what he wanted to say, he suddenly realized that he could not make a sound.
Although it was just a mere silence spell, First Liege did not have the means to defend himself against it when it was cast by Lin Huang.
Verbal attacks aside, he could not even moan.
Meanwhile, Lin Huang ignored First Liege's reaction and continued to experiment with the bondage styles that he had just learned.
"Cross-legged bondage…"
"Shrimp bondage…"
"Reverse shrimp bondage…"
"Diamond pattern bondage…"
"M-shaped bondage…"
…
Lin Huang put First Liege into all sorts of humiliating positions over and over again.
First Liege, who could not fight back and not even make a sound, could only let Lin Huang do whatever he wanted with him.
Half an hour passed by just like that.
Lin Huang suddenly loosened First Liege's bindings and removed the silence spell on him.
However, First Liege had lost all hope. He fell weakly to the ground; he did not even want to talk now.
Throughout the past half an hour, he clearly sensed that Lin Huang had assimilated almost all of the chaotic cosmoses in his Kingdom. He had only left one for him.
His combat strength had dropped from dominator-level rank-9 to dominator-level rank-1.
Lin Huang only spoke while smiling after waiting for a while and realizing that First Liege did not intend to speak.
"I'll give you a month to rest. I'll look for you again in a month. It won't be bondage then. We'll play something else." Lin Huang paused. He approached First Liege and lifted his chin. "You can suggest something too if you have any good ideas."
First Liege stared furiously at Lin Huang, but did not bother to respond to him.
"Seems not. I'll think about it myself. I have one month anyway." Lin Huang stood up while smiling. He then vanished from where he was slowly.
First Liege looked at the spot where Lin Huang had vanished. His teeth were bleeding from all the clenching. "You can't kill me anyway! I'll just entertain you!"

Chapter 1935: A Grade-S Foothold with 1010 Streets
Lin Huang was quite happy when he returned to the Sword Alliance.
He was initially worried that something would go wrong on First Liege's side.
After all, the other party possessed Great Chaotic Heavenly Dao's Heavenly Dao authorization. It was entirely possible for him to use the authorization to do something unexpected.
Clearly, Lin Huang had been overthinking things.
First Liege had merely used the Heavenly Dao authorization to integrate chaotic cosmoses maniacally. He did not pull any other tricks. The mission to take care of him went unusually well.
Although Lin Huang could not kill him due to his Heavenly Dao authorization, he had assimilated almost all of First Liege's over two quindecillion chaotic cosmoses that he had integrated throughout the 40 days or so day period into his own Kingdom.
He specially left First Liege with one chaotic cosmos.
He did not do that out of kindness, but rather because he acted in accordance with Bloody's suggestion.
According to what she said, doing that would prevent First Liege from using some special techniques to overtake Lin Huang if he dropped below dominator-level.
If he had one chaotic cosmos left, there was a high possibility that he would not find another way to come up with other tricks. He would only follow what he did before, which was to continue integrating more chaotic cosmoses to elevate his combat strength.
It could be said that Bloody was viciously not giving the other party any chance to make a comeback.
In reality, Lin Huang did not think much of those things at all, but he followed Bloody's suggestion anyway.
Clearly, First Liege had not realized he had fallen into the trap that Bloody set.
He only thought Lin Huang left one chaotic cosmos for him so that he would harvest the chaotic cosmoses that he would integrate a month later.
After all, it would take time for him to elevate to dominator-level again if he dropped down to heavenly dao-level. By then, he would have to spend a couple of days to elevate to dominator-level. The number of chaotic cosmoses he integrated would not be as many if Lin Huang did not leave one chaotic cosmos for him.
"Lin Huang, as long as you haven't become a Transcender, I'll still have a chance to turn the tables!"
First Liege began to integrate chaotic cosmoses all over again while cursing Lin Huang.
Although he possessed Great Chaotic Heavenly Dao's Heavenly Dao authorization, he was only left with one chaotic cosmos in his body. His integration efficiency had significantly dropped.
A Dominator's integration efficiency was affected by their combat strength and the strength of their God's soul.
When he had a hundred nonillion chaotic cosmoses in his body, he could only integrate a hundred nonillion chaotic cosmoses on the first day. Now that he was only left with one chaotic cosmos in his body, he could only integrate one chaotic cosmos on the first day.
Although this number still multiplied everyday, the rate of integration had undoubtedly dropped like a rock.
With one chaotic cosmos as the base number, even if the integration efficiency was multiplied over the next 30 days, he would only have integrated some 500 million chaotic cosmoses at most by the end of the month.
That was why Lin Huang allowed him to grow for a month peacefully.
After all, it would not take much effort to harvest what First Liege had integrated with.
Naturally, First Liege knew this very well as well. It was impossible that he could turn the tables around even if he was given three to five months.
He thought hard, seeking a solution to break through this conundrum as he continued integrating chaotic cosmoses.
To Lin Huang, the current First Liege was no longer a worry.
For the next one month, he remained immersed in integrating chaotic cosmoses.
His current goal was no longer to defeat Aza or First Liege. Instead, it was to integrate all of the chaotic cosmoses in the entire infinite universe, master them, and become a Transcender!
Naturally, apart from cultivation, Lin Huang's clones did not stay idle either.
As the war ended, the entire infinite universe had entered a period of high-speed development.
Lin Huang got Aza to open His entire Kingdom.
Mystic territories of all levels were opened accordingly. They had completely become the new instance dungeons for cultivators of all levels in the infinite universe.
No matter what, due to Aza's abilities and the characteristics of His Kingdom, the Abyssal creatures in His dream could be produced endlessly.
The opening and adjusting of Aza's dream became the three Outer Gods' new job.
Meanwhile, the dominator-level Abyssal powerhouses became the mystic territories' bosses.
Among them, most of the mystic territories were situated around the Sword Alliance.
From lord-level, dao-level to dominator-level, there were mystic territories here of all levels.
Given that most of the Sword Alliance members came from Lin Huang's Kingdom, and that they had the characteristics of leveling up by grinding, they grinded away happily in these mystic territories every day; their abilities were skyrocketing rapidly.
This caused the top organizations like Snow Domain, Sword Palace and Dragon Island to come to the Sword Alliance, getting them to help with the opening of the exclusive mystic territories.
They had also signed an agreement with Sword Alliance to pay an annual rental fee to access these mystic territories.
Only Snow Domain was exempted from the rental fee due to the friendship Lin Huang had with Xue Luo before.
The Abyssal Tribe slowly became an emerging tribe in the infinite universe. The mentally disabled members had their Abyssal aura hidden. They would appear in public occasionally.
The Bug Tribe was disliked by all tribes in the infinite universe all this while mainly because they would destroy wherever they go.
However, as they had become part of the allied army in fighting against the Abyssal Tribe, everyone began to change their perspective regarding them.
Given that Lin Huang had an agreement with the bug horde's will, and most of the powerful rank-10 Queen Mothers and Bug Emperors were imperial monsters under his command, he gave the Bug Tribe a portion of land for them to maintain their ecosystem, so that they would not need to obtain resources in a destructive manner.
This allowed the other tribes to start trading with the Bug Tribe.
Not only that, Lin Huang got Lin Xin, Lin Xuan and his disciple Wu Hao to lead a human talent cultivation program for humans, which was still one of the weaker tribes. Not only would they train humans who were gifted in cultivation, they would train talents who were gifted in other aspects too.
Meanwhile, the Sword Alliance would take in talents and geniuses from all tribes. It did not matter what their combat strength was. They would be accepted as long as they had the requisite talent and right mindset. This included the Bug Tribe and Abyssal Tribe as well.
Time flew by and, very soon, two months had passed.
The number of chaotic cosmoses in Lin Huang's body had surpassed 100 quinvigintillion. The figure had reached 120 quinvigintillion now.
He had only found out throughout the past ten days that there was actually a limit to the number of chaotic cosmoses in the infinite universe.
As for the chaotic cosmoses that he had mastered, it was close to one-third of the total number of chaotic cosmoses there were in the entire infinite universe.
He was almost certain that he could integrate all of the chaotic cosmoses in the entire infinite universe within the next six days or so.
As promised, Lin Huang projected a clone into the dimension where Great Chaotic Heavenly Dao was.
First Liege did not pull any new tricks. He merely said horrible things. After Lin Huang tortured him and assimilated the chaotic cosmoses in his body and left behind one for him again, he recalled his clone.
However, when his clone arrived again later, he could not help but frown.
"Where is he?!"
First Liege was gone.
To be exact, it was not only First Liege, Great Chaotic Heavenly Dao was gone as well!
"He's hiding?" Lin Huang squinted. "Why is Great Chaotic Heavenly Dao gone as well?!"
Lin Huang's clone extended his Divine Telekinesis and scanned the entire dimension and the places nearby tens of times. However, he did not find anything.
Feeling helpless, his Primordium finally took action.
At that moment, his Divine Telekinesis spread through the chaotic cosmoses in the entire infinite universe, the concealed dimensions, the time gaps…
However, he found nothing despite scanning hundreds of times.
"So he pulled a trick after all!"
Lin Huang frowned. He had not expected First Liege to have done something like that.
Not only did he hide himself, even Great Chaotic Heavenly Dao was gone as well. Clearly, he had done something to Great Chaotic Heavenly Dao to prevent it from revealing his whereabouts.
"I'd like to see where you can hide six days from now!"
Lin Huang did not waste time dwelling on where First Liege had gone exactly. Apart from searching by extending his Divine Telekinesis a few times throughout the entire infinite universe every day, he focused all of his attention on integrating the remaining chaotic cosmoses.
147 quinvigintillion!
173 quinvigintillion!
205 quinvigintillion!
…
Time flew by. Another five days had passed. The total number of chaotic cosmoses Lin Huang integrated had reached 285 quinvigintillion.
Until now, the number of chaotic cosmoses he had integrated with was close to 87% of the total number of chaotic cosmoses in the entire infinite universe.
Throughout these five days, he had not found any signs of First Liege at all, and Great Chaotic Heavenly Dao did not show up either.
Nevertheless, Lin Huang did not panic at all. He looked into the air with burning desire.
"One more day, and I'll have mastered all of the chaotic cosmoses in the entire infinite universe. By then, no matter where you're hiding, you won't be able to escape my eyes!"
On the sixth day, Lin Huang continued to integrate the remaining chaotic cosmoses calmly.
At midnight on the sixth day, he had integrated all of the 328 quinvigintillion chaotic cosmoses in the entire infinite universe.
Suddenly, Lin Huang's God's soul and physical body began to transform crazily.
His consciousness seemed to have been detached from the infinite universe. It had reached a height that was endlessly far away.
When he arrived there, he finally saw what the entire infinite universe really looked like.
It was a sphere that was exuding a glaring white light…
With a thought, he could see everything in the entire sphere easily.
It was made of a great amount of chaotic cosmoses, and it almost seemed like lights of various colors made up the entire sphere.
He could even clearly see the internal structure of each chaotic cosmos. The great worlds, mini worlds and the gravel worlds. Within each of them, he could see the stars, clouds, whether they were cold or hot, whether there were living beings in them…
The planets had tribes living on them, there were people who were either busy or relaxing. The night where lights were lit, during the day when pedestrians filled the streets, small towns where the cicadas chirped, the mountain ranges where snow accumulated, the rushing rivers, the peaceful and beautiful red desert that got its color from the sunset…
Lin Huang saw all of these details.
He even saw First Liege who was hiding deep in the Heavenly Dao, as well as Great Chaotic Heavenly Dao that had fallen into a state of deep sleep. He did not mind that at all. He had immersed himself in this special feeling completely.
Lin Huang only sighed emotionally when he suddenly snapped back to his senses after a long time.
"I've become a Transcender…"
He realized that he had become a Transcender.
At that moment, a voice spoke up from behind him.
"Congratulations on becoming a Transcender."
Lin Huang was stunned when he heard that voice.
He had not sensed that there was someone behind him at all. When he turned around, he saw a young man with short, black hair looking at him while smirking.
The young man looked to be the same age as he was. He had a sincere and warm smile on his face.
Lin Huang suddenly recalled something, after which he asked immediately, "You're Virtual Sovereign?!"
"Yes, and no," the young man said with a smile, "Let me introduce myself. My name's Gu Ding, I'm also a Transcender. Virtual Sovereign is just one of my clones."
"Senior Gu Ding!" Lin Huang nodded at him. He could feel that the other party had no ill intentions.
"Don't call me senior. Call me Gu Ding, or captain." Gu Ding clasped Lin Huang's shoulder while speaking. He was very easy-going and friendly.
The very next second, they appeared in a quaint-looking pavilion.
Tea was boiling on the stone table. The fragrance of the tea lingered in the air.
Lin Huang sat on the stone stool across from Gu Ding.
"Captain?" He could not get used to Gu Ding's over-friendliness.
"I was an interstellar pirate before, so this form of address has stayed with me," Gu Ding explained while smiling. He picked up the teacup and took a sip. "We'll talk about that later."
"Let me tell you about this infinite universe first. Where do I start…" Gu Ding only put down the teacup after thinking for a while. "I'll start from the beginning."
"I actually planted this infinite universe with a universe seed hundreds of eras ago. I used nine seeds in total. Only this one remains though. Now that you've become a Transcender and have successfully mastered the infinite universe, I know my efforts didn't go to waste."
"So I inherited… the captain's legacy…" Lin Huang really had not imagined that the infinite universe had been planted.
"You don't have to be so polite. It's your destiny." Gu Ding waved while smiling.
"Are there many Transcenders like us?" Lin Huang could not help but ask.
"We're the only ones." Gu Ding shook his head with a smile.
"So few?!" Lin Huang did not expect that there were so few Transcenders.
"Do you know about the second law of thermodynamics?" Gu Ding picked up the teapot and poured himself another cup of tea. He asked this question with a smile while drinking it.
"I've heard of it." Lin Huang nodded. He picked up the teacup too and took a sip. "During the natural process, an isolated system would always have an entropy increase. The chaos would grow continuously, and the disorder would grow as well."
As Lin Huang explained, he felt his bond with the infinite universe strengthened by an invisible force when he swallowed the tea.
He could now understand some of the rules that were hidden deep in the infinite universe.
"Even a universe would be doomed in an entropy increase. What more the mini worlds, great worlds and chaotic cosmoses? What about the infinite universes that are even more complicated?" Gu Ding asked while looking at Lin Huang.
"So those infinite universes were destroyed due to the entropy increase?" Lin Huang instantly came to a realization.
Gu Ding nodded lightly and corrected him, "In reality, only the one that we're in can be called the infinite universe. Those that were destroyed aren't considered infinite universes."
"Among the nine seeds I planted, six of them were destroyed when they achieved one trevigintillion chaotic cosmoses."
"If we were to compare that with the law of biogrowth, it can be considered that they were destroyed during the embryonic stage. There were two that had more than one trevigintillion chaotic cosmoses. They were considered to have entered the infancy stage. However, one of them was destroyed when they had one quinvigintillion chaotic cosmoses, while the other one was destroyed when it was going to break through the 100 quinvigintillion chaotic cosmoses mark."
"The one that you mastered is the only one that successfully surpassed 100 quinvigintillion chaotic cosmoses. It even has 300 quinvigintillion chaotic cosmoses. However, were it not for you, it would have been destroyed already."
"Before you really mastered this universe, it actually wasn't considered a legitimate infinite universe. Only when it has a master, forms an order, and when entropy reduction happens and is no longer chaotic and messy, can it be considered an infinite universe."
"Can't the outside world trigger the entropy reduction? Just like the time when you suppressed the chaos as Virtual Sovereign previously?" Lin Huang could not help but ask.
"I thought I could in the beginning, as long as I got the universe into order." Gu Ding nodded. "But later on, reality proved that such a method would not work. The more I interfered, the more chaotic it became."
"Among the nine seeds, seven of them descended into out-of-control chaos in the end due to my interference and were destroyed," Gu Ding explained, "That was why I didn't kill all of those people who created the chaos when I was Virtual Sovereign back then. Apart from the few of them who were too terrible, I merely suppressed most of them. Not only that, I didn't interfere with the universe you guys were in over the next hundreds of eras."
"The result of my interference was… If you hadn't shown up in an overbearing way, the second Transcender who would be standing before me the day after tomorrow would be Aza, the person that I suppressed back then," Gu Ding explained in all seriousness.
Lin Huang peeped at Aza, who was hiding deep in the Heavenly Dao in distress. He said with a smile, "Unfortunately, I stopped him from doing so."
"That's right. He found the two unique mechanisms of the Heavenly Dao authorization. Not only did he make the original Heavenly Dao's will fall into a state of deep sleep, He accelerated the integration efficiency to the extent that there was a billion times boost in the number of chaotic cosmoses He integrates with every day." Gu Ding took another sip of tea while smiling. "Unfortunately, He was two days too late."
"I did not expect Him to pull off such a feat." Lin Huang drank all of the tea in the cup and put it down. "If I didn't integrate all of the chaotic cosmoses, given His current integration efficiency, He could integrate one trevigintillion chaotic cosmoses a day today, and 100 quinvigintillion tomorrow. The day after tomorrow, he would have integrated all of the chaotic cosmoses in the entire infinite universe within half a day."
The next second, Lin Huang waved, and a figure appeared before them.
It was First Liege, who had been hiding deep in the Heavenly Dao.
First Liege was startled to find himself in a different place all of a sudden.
He saw Lin Huang as he focused, as well as the man who was sitting across from Lin Huang. He could not help but exclaim directly, "Virtual Sovereign?!"
"That's right. You were too late after all." Lin Huang nodded and smiled.
"If you gave me two more days… no, a day and a half, I would have been the one to become a Transcender!" First Liege had an unwilling expression on his face.
"It's too bad that you don't have that opportunity anymore." Lin Huang waved his hand as soon as he was done speaking. He put First Liege away into his Kingdom directly.
Inside Lin Huang's Kingdom, First Liege's physical body and God's soul began to collapse at a speed that was visible to the naked eye. In the end, only a massive Kingdom remained. It integrated itself into Lin Huang's Kingdom gradually, becoming a part of his Kingdom.
First Liege, whom he had not been able to kill before, finally turned into dust.
After killing First Liege, Lin Huang chatted with Gu Ding for a long time. He learned many secrets about the infinite universe. Only then did he bid farewell to him and return to the infinite universe.
As soon as he returned to his infinite universe, Lin Huang woke Great Chaotic Heavenly Dao up.
He then allowed it to retain its will and integrated it into his Kingdom.
Now, Lin Huang was considered to be the legitimate master of the infinite universe. He finally felt completely confident now.
"An infinite universe that has 300 quinvigintillion chaotic cosmoses is only considered a budding seed?" Lin Huang looked far into the sky. He mumbled softly with a smile, "Seems like I'll be busy cultivating this bud."
"You have your crew, and I have my friends and family…"
"Xin Er, Xiaoxuan, let's visit the gravel world. It's been a long time since we last visited…" Lin Huang suddenly said to Lin Xin, Lin Xuan and Mr. Fu through voice transmission.
"Have you settled that First Liege?" Lin Xin quickly asked.
"I have!"
"I knew it! You're the best, brother!" Lin Xin appeared before Lin Huang in a flash as soon as she was done speaking. She grabbed his arm and looked at him with a bright smile. "Shall we depart now?"
At that moment, Lin Xuan walked into the courtyard as well. "It's been a long time since we visited the gravel world indeed. I've been thinking of going back."
"Let's get Boss Chan and the rest, pick up Master, and then we'll go." Lin Huang smiled while nodding.
"I wonder if Wulin Town is still around…" Lin Xin suddenly felt sad.
"If it's no longer around, we'll build another one!" Lin Huang patted her head with a smile. "We'll make Wulin Town a grade-A foothold with 101 streets!"
"No, we'll make it a grade-S foothold with 1010 streets!" Lin Xin shouted in excitement.
"Sure, let's make it a grade-S foothold with 1010 streets!" Lin Huang agreed while smiling.
