After the meeting with Liu Ming, the Lin siblings’ itinerary over the next few days continued as usual.
The information that was being spread on social media platforms did not give Lin Huang any cause for concern. He also did not continue monitoring the various noisy debates on the Internet; he merely checked the news every day as per usual before he went to bed.
On this particular day, Lin Huang clicked on the online news page like he usually did before he went to sleep.
The headline displayed on the Union Government’s home page immediately caught his attention.
The title read, “Notice—Peaceful Ocean Off-Limits!”
“The Peaceful Ocean is off-limits… what on earth is going on?” Puzzled, Lin Huang immediately clicked on the notice.
“In view of all the monsters in the Peaceful Ocean becoming more powerful overall, the Union Government and the Hunter Association will be organizing a combined extermination campaign. From now on until further notice, the Peaceful Ocean is now a restricted zone; all cultivators below virtual god-level are forbidden to set foot there. After the extermination operation has been carried out, we will announce at the earliest opportunity when the area will be accessible again so that normal hunting can resume.”
After Lin Huang had finished reading the notice, he could not help raising his brows.
His first reaction was that the Union Government was concealing the real reason for sealing off the Peaceful Ocean. This was because if they were really looking to mount an extermination campaign, it would not be necessary to make such a big fuss over declaring the place off-limits.
Something must have happened that the Union Government did not wish the outside world to know about, which was why they had made a strategic decision like this.
Somewhat puzzled, Lin Huang dialed Huang Tianfu’s number.
Before the dial tone had even finished ringing, the video call connected.
“Your Majesty!” The minute Huang Tianfu saw Lin Huang appear on the call, he initiated greetings, a smile on his face.
Lin Huang gave a slight nod. “Tianfu, what’s been happening lately over at Dynasty?”
“Everything is normal,” Huang Tianfu replied, then extrapolated a bit further, “Mr. Fu and Lin Xuan are both still in closed-door cultivation. Other Virtual Gods are also in closed-door cultivation, and there are also some in the Royal wasteland. For the time being, there haven’t been any unusual situations that have been reported back.
“Oh… I almost forgot; there’s also some good news. Huang Wuji has elevated to virtual god-level—it just happened in the last two days. I didn’t think it was anything particularly important, so I didn’t want to bother you with it.”
“With his talent and potential, his advancement is to be expected.” Lin Huang nodded slightly. Huang Wuji had initially been ranked with Chan Dou as one of the Five Princes and could be considered exceptionally gifted among the younger generation.
If Lin Huang had not suddenly appeared out of the blue, eclipsing the Five Princes’ brilliant talent, the Five Princes would probably have become the most formidable powerhouses of this epoch.
Moreover, if Lin Huang had not interrupted, Huang Wuji might very well already be holding the current position of Dynasty’s Emperor.
“The First Prince’s advancement is indeed a cause for celebration. Please reward him with a top-notch god relic weapon and a top-tier set of god relic armor. As for any other rewards, I’ll leave that up to you.”
