After returning once again from the God Territory within him to the Ricky Star, Lin Huang poured himself another drink.
This time, he did not go to the balcony. Instead, he sat on the sofa in the living room and began pondering, his gaze not focused on anything in particular.
He had previously questioned Xiao Hei about directly elevating his imperial monsters’ ranks and combat strength. Xiao Hei’s response was that there would not be any side effects.
Only after persistent questioning had Xiao Hei finally explained why there would be no side effects.
All the cards that Xiao Hei created were derived from Lin Huang’s energy.
The difference between creating Monster Cards and Item or Function Cards was that Monster Cards possessed a cognizance of self. This consciousness could not be created out of nothing, so Xiao Hei had to divide out consciousness seeds to be implanted into the cards.
However, after the consciousness seeds had entered into the bodies of various Monster Cards, they would grow into all kinds of individual characters after absorbing the essence of memories and inheritances.
Essentially, all of the Monster Cards that Xiao Hei created through capturing Origin Energy were its clones.
To be exact, whether it was Bai, Lancelot, Kylie, or Charcoal… All of them were projections of Xiao Hei on the material plane with different concrete, individual characters.
Therefore, Bai and the others could elevate without having to follow regular elevation and advancement rules. They could inherit myriads of god sequence chains and Rule Bending Powers without incurring a burden.
As long as there was sufficient Origin Energy and Xiao Hei had sufficient authorization, they could even be elevated to terrifying entities higher than Lords, and there still be no side effects.
Lin Huang was soon pulled out of his reverie by energy waves within the Great Heaven Palace.
Thanks to the time flow being accelerated ten thousand times, Lancelot and the other two had completed their elevation to Lords one by one after less than five minutes had passed in the outside world.

Recalled to his senses, Lin Huang returned to the Great Heaven Palace in a flash.
Only after sensing that the auras of all three imperial monsters were undoubtedly lord-level did Lin Huang finally set his mind at ease.
He checked their card information again.
All three had successfully consolidated Dao seals. Although they had only consolidated level-1 Dao seals, there were over twenty thousand Dao tattoos on their Dao seals.
This was comparable to many lower-rank Lords who had compounded level-10 Dao seals.
It also meant that ability-wise currently, all three were almost invincible among lower-rank Lords.
If they were to encounter a lower-rank Lord with a level-10 Dao seal, even if the three of them could not defeat the Lord, they had the ability to go head-to-head with them.
However, to prevent the three of them from becoming arrogant, Lin Huang concealed the truth from them.
“Your current abilities are at lower-rank lord-level now. That’s already considered fairly powerful. However, in the great world, there are Lords with seven or eight Dao seals, so don’t think that you’re invincible now.”
Charcoal nodded immediately after hearing that. Beside him, Lancelot said nothing, while Grimace, on the other hand, seemed excited to try out his new abilities.
After the three of them had elevated to lord-level, the inheritances within them had been unsealed even further. They were also aware of the divisions within lord-level cultivation. They knew that they had only consolidated one Dao seal, so their abilities were definitely nothing compared to Lords with more Dao seals.
However, what they did not know was that the Dao seals they had consolidated were much more powerful than the Dao seals consolidated by others.
“Don’t stir up trouble after all of you return to the God Territory.” Lin Huang’s gaze lingered on Grimace intentionally when he said this. “You can gather more high-level resources during this period. You’re going to need a huge amount of resources to support your cultivation when we go to the universe in the future.”
After giving them a few reminders, Lin Huang led the three of them out of the Great Heaven Palace.
This time, the three imperial monsters could sense very clearly that the Archaic Fire Dragons on the doors and the three-legged Golden Crows at the bottom of the steps were no longer threats to them.
Charcoal’s expression was proud as he walked past the several guardian beasts. He even raised his tail high like a male peacock who had defeated a rival in love.
Lin Huang eyed Charcoal’s childish behavior, but he did not stop him.
Instead, he waited for Charcoal to finish showing off before bringing all three of them back to the Ricky Star.
After returning to the Ricky Star, Lin Huang gave them reminders again. He also specifically sent Lancelot a voice transmission, asking him to keep tabs on Grimace and prevent him from stirring up trouble. Only then did he let them leave.
Lin Huang frowned slightly, looking in the direction where they had vanished. He had no idea why, but he kept having a nagging feeling that Grimace would cause trouble.
After sending the three of them off, Lin Huang thought for a moment, then asked the Gate of All Realms to open the passage to the virtual realm.
Before setting up the virtual realm cabin so he could cultivate later, he first had to clear the Voids nearby.
He stepped through the passage with his virtual body and entered the virtual realm.
As soon as he teleported through, he sensed intense battle fluctuations being transmitted over.
He lifted his head to look and was immediately rather stunned.
Battling it out were Black Mountain and Spy whom he had killed previously, while Babble and the other three lower-rank Lords stood on the sidelines, trembling.
‘Why have they showed up on the Ricky Star?’ Lin Huang felt rather puzzled. ‘Could it be because their corpses are with me?
“But why would they suddenly fight among themselves?” Lin Huang was even more confused by this.
However, his sense of confusion had not lasted for very long before he discovered he was being targeted.
Sensing Lin Huang’s aura, the battle between Black Mountain and Spy stopped abruptly. Both of them looked right at him.
Lin Huang did not know why but he could clearly sense the ill intent emanating from these few Voids. It was not just Black Mountain and Spy—even Babble and the rest who were watching the battle nearby had obvious murderous intent in their eyes when they looked at him.
Right as Lin Huang sensed the Voids’ malicious intent, Black Mountain and Spy attacked almost simultaneously. This time, their target was Lin Huang.
Lin Huang gave a cold snort and shook his sleeves. Countless blood-red electric arcs shot out in a burst.
There were millions of electric arcs.
Each of them was guided by the Sword seal and imbued with over fifty thousand levels of sequence power.
Black Mountain and Spy made a lightning retreat when they saw that.
However, Babble and the other three lower-rank Lords nearby failed to dodge in time. They were impaled by so many blood-red electric arcs that they were practically turned into sieves, and died on the spot.
Spy digitized his body in an instant and avoided Lin Huang’s attack this round.
Black Mountain, however, evaded the attack and used his overwhelming defense techniques to defend himself.
‘As expected, it’s still rather difficult to kill a middle-rank Lord instantly.’ Lin Huang was also very much aware of his own abilities.
The next second, he did not hold back any longer and summoned his ten Combat Souls right away.
Although the God’s Figurine’s Combat Souls had the physical form of a God’s Figurine, in essence, they were Combat Souls and part of Lin Huang’s body. Naturally, he could bring them into the virtual realm.
As soon as the God’s Figurine’s Combat Souls were summoned forth, Lin Huang could sense even more clearly that Black Mountain and Spy’s killing intent grew increasingly intense.
‘I thought Voids don’t possess their memories from the material realm?’ Lin Huang did not really understand. However, he suddenly realized why Black Mountain and Spy were fighting.
In the virtual realm, both of them had no memory of each other. Now that they were in the same space, it was only natural that they would fight for territory.
As soon as the ten God’s Figurine’s Combat Souls joined the battle alongside Lin Huang’s millions of God Dao Weapons, Black Mountain was immediately subdued with no trouble at all.
After Black Mountain had been disposed of, Spy was soon captured and sealed by Shackle Serpent. He was killed on the spot.
Within less than two minutes, Lin Huang had managed to obtain six portions of Origin Energy.
Among them were two that were middle-rank Lord in strength.
The rewards he obtained this round were handsome indeed.
