MONSTER PARADISE

1461 - 1480

“Very well, I’ll make arrangements.” Huang Tianfu nodded vigorously.

“Oh yes, today I saw the notice that the Union Government sent out regarding the Peaceful Ocean being off-limits. What’s happened over there?” After settling the matter of Huang Wuji, Lin Huang switched the topic of conversation to what he really wanted to ask Huang Tianfu.

“For now, I still don’t have any definite news…” Huang Tianfu finished speaking, then added, “However, I’ve heard that the Union Government has had several Virtual Gods dying in the Peaceful Ocean. This news hasn’t yet been verified, though; up until now I still haven’t received any information about what the actual situation is.”

“Once you have any news, remember to let me know immediately.” Lin Huang nodded.

The two men chatted for a little while longer before Lin Huang finally ended the call.

“Virtual Gods dying in the Peaceful Ocean…” Lin Huang was still more concerned about the matter of the Peaceful Ocean being declared a restricted zone. “It’s normal for Virtual Gods to die. Besides, there are numerous large and powerful monsters in the deep sea area of the Peaceful Ocean—not only that, after the World Rules were finally complete, those monsters would have become more powerful anyway.

“Sealing off the entire Peaceful Ocean right off the bat, however, means the situation is probably more complicated than it looks.” Lin Huang made this assumption because he had had dealings with Jiang Shan, Dongfang Bai, and the others more than once. He was very much aware that, based on the characters of these two men, they would not lightly make a decision like this.

Curious now, Lin Huang clicked on the black market forum.

Very quickly, he saw topics related to the Peaceful Ocean being sealed off; these topics were fairly numerous as well.

He investigated by clicking on a few posts that were trending more than the rest and discovered that all kinds of things were being bandied about.

Some people said that a powerful monster—suspected of being a True God—had appeared in the Peaceful Ocean and had slaughtered all the Virtual Gods that the Union Government had sent out for exploration purposes.

Some others said that a dimensional gateway from the great world had appeared in the deep sea area of the Peaceful Ocean, and armies from the great world were invading once more.

Still others insisted that the monsters on the seabed of the Peaceful Ocean had undergone abnormal changes, resulting in an explosive increase in power and turning the area into a zone forbidden to humans.

After Lin Huang finished reading all the posts, he still had no clue about what had happened in the sea areas of the Peaceful Ocean.

Although it only took a glance for him to identify the contents of many posts as being fake, there were also speculations in the contents of some other posts that could very well be possible.

After closing the black market forum, Lin Huang muttered irresolutely to himself for a while, then decided to push the whole matter of the Peaceful Ocean to the back of his mind for the time being.

The way he saw it, the matter had no real connection with him. Even though he was curious, he was not curious enough to immediately ask Jiang Shan or Dongfang Bai. Rather, he decided to wait patiently for news to come from Dynasty.

In the blink of an eye, another three days went by.

The Lin siblings departed from Magical Sky City, the grade-3A1 foothold where the Martial Hunter College was, and arrived at the grade-3A5 foothold of Wanbao City.
