Chapter 1734: The Vastness of the Universe

Old He and Old Wang answered the questions everyone raised one by one in the small meeting room.

However, as it was the first time this particular mystic territory would appear, they had no idea what kind of situations would arise inside.

After the meeting ended, everyone soon left on their own accord.

Lin Huang was the only one who stayed. He was not exactly sure how he would return to the great world that he was in before.

He could not help but tease as he watched Liu Fu sending Zhou Ya off.

“Seems like someone hasn’t moved on from his ex completely.”

“How can that be?” Liu Fu denied instantly, “It’s been over between us for a long time.”

“Is that right?” Lin Huang shook his head while smiling. “Then why would you invite her to your upgrade banquet since you’ve already moved on?”

“I want to show her that I’ve elevated to dao-level as well!” Liu Fu said stubbornly.

“As well as inviting her to team up to explore this mystic territory?” Lin Huang smirked playfully.

“That’s because I don’t know much about dao-level after all. I only trust her and Qu Yu, so I asked both of them to come along.” Liu Fu proceeded to explain.

“Alright, then…” Lin Huang smiled indifferently.

Although Liu Fu could tell that his smile clearly indicated that he did not believe him, he did not want to dwell on this topic.

“Say, what’s with you exactly? When did you elevate to dao-level? Or were you disguised as a lower-rank Lord before?”

“I wasn’t in disguise when I was at lower-rank lord-level. I really was a lower-rank Lord that time. It has only been a couple of months since I elevated to dao-level,” Lin Huang answered with a smile.

“So you’re saying that you elevated from lower-rank lord-level to minor dao-level in less than a year?!” Liu Fu looked at Lin Huang with widened eyes.

“You can say that.” Lin Huang nodded.

“I’ll be d*mned if I believe your words! You’re full of nonsense.” Liu Fu thought that what Lin Huang said was simply ridiculous.

“It’s the truth no matter whether you believe it or not.” Lin Huang opened his arms.

Liu Fu slowly calmed down when he heard that.

He thought of something suddenly, and could not help but say, “I almost forgot that your Goldfinger’s ability specializes in combat strength elevation…”

Liu Fu covered his mouth as soon as he said that. “Err… Pretend I didn’t say that.”

He had seen Lin Huang’s data from Royal. It recorded that Lin Huang’s Goldfinger was suspected to be specialized in combat strength elevation and, therefore, he could elevate his combat strength faster than others.

However, it was naturally inappropriate to mention that before Lin Huang.

Lin Huang already knew that many people suspected that his Goldfinger was specialized in combat strength elevation. The reason being was that the speed of his combat strength elevation was indeed unusual.

It made sense that Royal’s database included such recordings.

On the contrary, he was happy to see such a misleading result.

“I can’t believe that you’ve elevated to minor dao-level so quickly.” Liu Fu changed the subject immediately. “In reality, I invited you to the banquet with the goal of getting Old He a disciple. I thought that you would be a suitable candidate.”

“I didn’t expect that you’d disguised yourself so well to the point that I didn’t notice your elevation to dao-level. Now that I think about it, I finally understand what Old He meant when he said that he couldn’t afford to take you in.”

“I actually didn’t want to reveal my combat strength, but Old He and Old Wang saw through me, so I thought it was better not to lie any further.” Lin Huang felt rather helpless.

He had merely wanted to attend a banquet. Never had he imagined that he would be invited to join an exploration team into a mystic territory.

“Will you be joining the exploration team into the mystic territory?” Liu Fu continued to ask.

“I definitely will. I’ve never been in one after all, so it will be a new experience.” It had been some time since Lin Huang met a worthy match. Naturally, he would not miss out on the trip to the mystic territory this time. “However, I must prepare myself well before going.”

After seeing Liu Fu hesitating to speak Lin Huang asked directly, “What is it? Just spit it out.”

“You might not know much about mystic territories,” Liu Fu spoke anyway seeing Lin Huang urging him, “Every time a new mystic territory appears, the first round of exploration is the most dangerous one.”

“The reason being is that the environment and types of monsters are completely unknown. Moreover, the explorers who participate in the first round of exploration have powerful abilities. Some of the explorers even join in just for the thrill. As soon as they run into people from other organizations, they are ruthless in their attacks. They basically won’t leave anyone alive.”

“Usually, the exploration period when the mystic territory has just opened is the one with the highest death rate, far more than subsequent rounds of exploration.”

“So I’m hesitating on whether to join the exploration team this time.” Liu Fu expressed his hesitation.

“Aren’t you one of the organizers?” Lin Huang felt rather speechless.

“Before the meeting, Old He only told me that he’s inviting us to explore a mystic territory together. He didn’t say that it would be the exploration of a new mystic territory.” Liu Fu felt quite helpless.

“Otherwise, I would’ve rejected him directly. I’ve only just been elevated to minor dao-level.”

Lin Huang understood now. The old man He Nanzhi might have been worried that many people would refuse to participate if he mentioned that they would be the people exploring the mystic territory for the first time. Therefore, he hid the information about that and only told them that it was an exploration into a mystic territory.

No matter how many people end up joining in the end, he would just lure them to the meeting first! It was better than being rejected from the outset.

“You can make your own choice. I shouldn’t be making any suggestions regarding such a matter.” Lin Huang thought about it and decided not to give him any suggestions.

He personally hoped that he would join. It would be more fun to have a person that he was familiar with going with him.

However, he would definitely feel a little guilty if Liu Fu listened to his suggestion, joined, and then died in the end.

“Oh yeah, how should I return?” Lin Huang changed the subject directly.

“Just crush the black card that I gave you. It’ll send you back to the coordinates that you came from before automatically,” Liu Fu explained, “This thing works both ways and it’s disposable.”

Lin Huang took out the card and fiddled with it in his hand for a little bit. He asked seemingly casually, “Who made this teleportation tool?”

“I don’t know who exactly made it. There are many teleportation tools like this in the universe. Most of them should come from the Qian family.”

“The Qian family…” Lin Huang learned about this family from the inheritance memories as well.

It was the wealthiest family in the entire universe, as well as one of the three wealthiest organizations.

He asked about the card because the teleportation card looked a little bit like Xiao Hei’s form when he had just obtained the Goldfinger.

He continued to ask after secretly taking note of the Qian family in his head, “Do you have a star map of the universe? I’d like to know where the great world I’m in is.”

Liu Fu projected the star map directly. “The universe is too vast. The complete star map of the universe lacks many details. You might not be able to find the world you’re in. This is the star map for the Eastern Eight Zone we’re currently in…”

Liu Fu dragged the star map to the northeast as he spoke. After zooming in tens of thousands of times, he pointed at one of the dense dots. “This is the world that you live in.”

“These dots are the great worlds?” Lin Huang was shocked.

“That’s right. This Eastern Eight Zone star map should be the most complete and most current version. They record and mark the serial numbers of over 98% of the worlds.”

Lin Huang looked at the dot Liu Fu was pointing at. The serial number D3587 was displayed above it.

That was the serial number of the great world he was in.

“Can you zoom in even further?”

“This is the furthest it will go…” Liu Fu said while feeling rather helpless, “If you want to see things closer up, you can only look at the star maps of the smaller zones. I don’t have one now. I’ll get you a copy when I have the time.”

“I’ll send you this copy first.” Liu Fu sent the Eastern Eight Zone star map to Lin Huang directly as he spoke.

“Thanks.” Lin Huang was still immersed in the shock from before.

He knew that the great world was just a drop in the ocean in the universe. However, he had only realized the universe’s vastness when he saw it laid out on the star map.
