It was past six in the evening. Two Virtual Gods and seven perfect-stage demigod-level powerhouses from Dynasty gathered at the courtyard Mr. Fu had just moved into.
Lin Huang also went there according to Bloody’s voice transmission. After all, Dynasty needed Lin Huang to look after the situation in the absence of the upper echelons.
“Baiyu, Haoyang, have the both of you decided? There’s a certain probability that the transformation will fail. As soon as it fails, your cultivation base will be destroyed and you might not be able to cultivate any longer. That’s considered a milder situation. If it’s serious, you’ll explode and die directly. Even your soul will be killed too.”
“Tianfu told us about it in the past few days, so I’ve made up my mind.” Huang Haoyang nodded without any hesitation.
Huang Baiyu also nodded. “I’m willing to accept it no matter what the final result is.”
The duo had been stuck on their current level for hundreds of years. Throughout the centuries, they watched their juniors grow generation after generation while there was no way for their combat strength to be elevated at all. Naturally, they felt uncomfortable. Moreover, as the promotion of the ancient methods went on, achieving virtual god-level was no longer a challenge for those young people with terrifying talents. It was possible that the juniors would surpass them if they stagnated for some decades.
One of the reasons why Huang Baiyu and Huang Haoyang accepted the challenge was that they really hoped to be a normal cultivator who could boost their combat strength levels. Other than that, they figured it was just a matter of time for Huang Tianfu and the rest to surpass both of them as soon as they got to virtual god-level. To avoid being left out, the duo decided to take the risk.
Lin Huang stopped saying anything discouraging after confirming their determination.
“Since you guys have made up your minds, I’ll respect your decision.”
“Both of you will be the last. I’ll start with those with a higher success rate first to warm up.” Mr. Fu glanced at the seven perfect-stage demigod-level powerhouses including Huang Tianfu and asked while smiling, “Who wants to be the first?”
The seven of them were stunned to hear that question. Although Lin Huang told them that the success rate was 97%, it was only in theory. Furthermore, nobody had ever experimented with it before, not even Mr. Fu. Nobody was willing to be the first lab rat.
Just when Huang Tianfu thought no one was willing to volunteer, he saw Huang Tufu advancing a step out.
“I’ll go first then!” Huang Tufu stepped out, appearing determined. The rest noticed that his muscles were stiff. He was clearly nervous.
“Alright, buff guy. You’ll be the first then.” Mr. Fu grinned at Huang Tufu.
“Mr. Fu…” Huang Tufu’s scalp was a little numb upon noticing that Mr. Fu was studying him like a lab rat.
“Spill whatever you have to say!”
“So… Since I’ll be the first one to do this, can you be more thorough later?” Huang Tufu probed while smiling.
“I’ll know how much hair you have on your body when I scan you with my Divine Telekinesis later. How much more thorough do you want me to be?” Mr. Fu asked with a raised brow.
“Never mind. Pretend I never said that.” Huang Tianfu shrugged helplessly.
“To prevent any interference, the entire elevation will take place in my God Territory. This is the first time we’re doing this. Apart from Bloody and this buff guy, the rest will have to wait outside. The same goes for the rest. I don’t want to be interrupted throughout the process. So, all of you will come in one by one. I’ll block all the unrelated people outside.”
“Don’t you need my help?” Lin Huang asked.
“No, having Bloody is good enough. I’ll get Bloody to contact you if I really need your help.” His assistance was declined directly.
“Oh yeah, how long does it roughly take to elevate a person?” Mr. Fu asked Bloody.
Because Bloody’s simulation was the fast-forwarded version, the entire process was compressed into a couple of seconds. Although that did not affect the content by scanning with his Divine Telekinesis, Mr. Fu could not pinpoint the exact duration.
“It usually takes around two hours. However, you’ll need one to two hours to replenish your Divine Power after each round of elevation,” Bloody explained, “It’ll take longer for people who are already on virtual god-level. The replenishment will take longer too.”
“So, that means it’ll take at least three to four hours each.” Mr. Fu raised his brow when he heard the clarification. He spoke to Huang Tianfu and the rest, “Then, let’s not wait here. All of you can do whatever you want to do. Those who have nothing to do can go shopping or get some sleep. I’ll get Lin Huang to inform you when it’s your turn.”
Huang Tianfu bowed immediately after hearing that. “Then, I’ll return to my office. There are some things that I have yet to finish.” He looked like a workaholic.
Huang Wunan glanced at him and spoke subsequently, “I’ll return to my office too.”
Among the nine of them, apart from Huang Tianfu and Huang Wunan, the rest said nothing.
The duo left right after they said goodbye.
Mr. Fu said nothing either. All he did was wave his sleeve. Next, Huang Tufu and Bloody disappeared at the same time. Subsequently, Mr. Fu faded away slowly.
Lin Huang knew that Mr. Fu had taken both of them into his God Territory.
“You guys don’t have to stay here. I’ll inform you when it’s your turn,” Lin Huang emphasized again. However, he stopped bothering them upon seeing that Huang Baiyu and the remaining five did not plan to leave.
Just as Lin Huang left Mr. Fu’s courtyard, Huang Tufu’s transformation began in Mr. Fu’s God Territory. He sat with his legs crossed in the air with his eyes closed tightly.
Mr. Fu also sat across him with his legs crossed while his hand pressed against Huang Tufu’s chest.
Golden Divine Power penetrated Huang Tufu’s body rapidly. It soon found where the broken Godhead was, and a sea of Divine Power began filling it.
Meanwhile, Bloody stood aside while scanning Huang Tufu’s body with Divine Telekinesis to observe the transformation process.
After Mr. Fu inserted Divine Power for an hour, Huang Tufu’s broken Godhead was replenished and filled to the point that it could no longer take in anymore Divine Power.
“Higher temperature and more pressure right now!” Bloody urged to Mr. Fu through voice transmission.
Mr. Fu did not respond. Instead, he ignited his Divine Power, igniting the inside of Huang Tufu’s body on fire. In the sea of fire fuelled by Divine Power, it began to put pressure from all directions, pressing the broken Godhead.
Huang Tufu had a dramatic change of expression. He could feel the pressure and high temperature that was squeezing his broken Godhead throughout his entire body. He was in so much pain that he was groaning.
“This is pretty painful, but you must bear it. Keep activating your Godhead and don’t pass out. The elevation will fail as soon as the activation of broken Godhead stops,” Bloody said to Huang Tufu through voice transmission, “Scream if you really can’t take the pain. Don’t hold it back. It might be better if you let it all out.”
Huang Tufu nodded lightly while clenching his teeth. He dared not say a word, scared that he might give up as soon as he spoke.
Time passed by in the God Territory.
Mr. Fu maintained his Divine Power at a high temperature and high pressure. It was crushing Huang Tufu’s broken Godhead in all directions.
Under normal circumstances, it was hard for the outside world to intervene as soon as one deactivated their Godhead. That was the reason why it was so hard to destroy a Godhead. However, the Godhead could experience an exchange of energy when it was activated. Theoretically, it could be destroyed.
As the high pressure and high temperature went on for more than an hour, the broken Godhead in Huang Tufu’s body finally became unstable. Furthermore, the instability was getting more and more obvious. It might even explode anytime.
“Mr. Fu, you must maintain the high temperature and pressure at all times during this process. Even if his broken Godhead explodes, you can’t stop for even a second. That’s the key to combine the Godhead!” Bloody spoke to Mr. Fu through voice transmission again.
“Huang Tufu, don’t detonate your broken Godhead on purpose. When the instablization is at its peak and might explode anytime, you can detonate it with little effort by then,” Bloody spoke to Huang Tufu through voice transmission.
As Huang Tufu’s broken Godhead went unstable, he immersed his consciousness into his body while waiting patiently.
As time ticked by, the broken Godhead soon expanded to its peak under the high temperature and pressure. The entire Godhead turned red like a smoldering iron.
Bloody’s voice came into Huang Tufu’s ears all of a sudden. “Right now!”
He detonated it without hesitation.
Bang!
Intense golden sparks came after the explosion. The glaring golden glow soon filled his entire inner world. The explosion soon reached its peak under the intense temperature and pressure.
“Activate your Divine Power to consolidate the Godhead!”
As Bloody’s voice boomed, Huang Tufu began activating his Divine Power as much as he could.
A sea of Divine Power began to gather in a river in the middle of the explosion point. A whirlpool formed. Then, it merged into golden gravel at a speed that could be seen with the naked eye. The gravel was expanding continuously…
