Lin Huang had finally learned many secrets about the Black Abyss from Heavenly Dao.
In reality, nothing could escape Heavenly Dao as long as it happened in the universe.
Even if they used all sorts of shielding techniques and even supreme treasures to block probing techniques, it was still visible to Heavenly Dao.
This gave Lin Huang the opportunity to observe the Black Abyss’ many internal meetings as an outsider through Heavenly Dao’s eyes.
He finally understood their real objective.
The Black Abyss’ objective was to open up a channel between the Abyss and the universe to allow the Abyssal army passage here, to contaminate the entire universe, and even contaminate Heavenly Dao. In the end, they would get Aza’s clone to refine Heavenly Dao to master this chaotic cosmos.
This refinement was also a forced refinement.
If Heavenly Dao was unwilling to cooperate with the integration process, Aza would use His Dominator Power to occupy and assimilate the entire chaotic cosmos, cutting off Heavenly Dao’s authority over the chaotic cosmos, and then he would refine Heavenly Dao by force.
Under normal circumstances, as soon as the first step, which was the assimilation process, was successful, the success rate of the forced refinement later on would be quite high.
However, the Black Abyss’ current plan had clearly been foiled.
This was because Lin Huang had integrated the universe’s Heavenly Dao, becoming the Dominator of the universe.
As long as he was alive, even if the entire universe was contaminated with Abyssal energy, Aza’s clone could not refine Heavenly Dao.
Not only that, since Lin Huang had found out about the Black Abyss’ plan, naturally, it was impossible that he would just watch those people try to contaminate the entire universe.
“Is that thing… really only Aza’s clone?” Lin Huang instantly recalled his two encounters of falling into darkness after looking through everything about the Black Abyss.
Especially the second time. The strange red glow merely lit up, and he was killed without even noticing.
Were it not for the Substitute Card, he would have died that time.
Although the current him could simply use a finger to kill the old him before elevating to dominator-level, it was basically impossible for him to do so without warning.
Moreover, even though he had been elevated to dominator-level, he could not figure out what that person did exactly.
He had thought that it had been Aza Himself.
He had only learned from the Black Abyss now that it was only one of Aza’s clones.
Not only that, according to the information Black Abyss revealed, Aza had tens of thousands of such clones.
Some had already awakened in the other chaotic cosmoses in the infinite universe.
Aza’s clone in the universe was currently half asleep. He had yet to be awakened completely.
Nevertheless, it was clear that the half-asleep clone had a level of ability that was far more powerful than Lin Huang who had achieved dominator-level.
He could not help but frown when he realized this fact.
He had also learned much information about Aza’s clone from the Black Abyss.
He, who was half asleep, might wake up anytime.
There were even some techniques to accelerate His awakening.
For instance, many sacrifices.
The more powerful the level of ability of the living beings they sacrificed, and the larger the quantity, the more it would accelerate His awakening.
Although the Black Abyss had never mentioned it, Lin Huang was a little concerned that the deaths of many Black Abyss members might cause His awakening to accelerate as well.
The reason being was that all of their official members had been given the God’s soul brand from Aza’s clone. The death of those members would trigger the brand to send a signal to the brand’s creator—which was Aza’s clone, along with the scene of their death.
The unusual activation of that many brands would definitely alert Aza’s clone.
On a certain level, it might accelerate the awakening of Aza’s clone.
Lin Huang was also thinking that, if his speculation was right, what he should do exactly in order to face the Black Abyss.
After arriving at no solution despite thinking for a while, he figured he would summon Bloody.
Bloody affirmed his speculation after he described what was going on with the Black Abyss.
“According to the information that you provided, your speculation might be right. If the God’s soul brand has some sort of alert mechanism, if too many Black Abyss members died, it might awaken Aza’s clone directly.”
“So what I’m thinking is that I’ll take action directly to capture those official members myself. I’ll retrieve their Kingdoms and capture them alive, but I won’t kill them,” Lin Huang told Bloody what he was thinking.
“Have you considered what might happen if death isn’t the only thing that will trigger the brand? For instance, if those people from the Black Abyss were still alive, but not of sound mind. What if that would trigger the brand too?”
“What if sealing them or retrieving the Kingdoms in their bodies would trigger the brand to alert Aza’s clone as well? You can’t ignore such possibilities entirely.”
Lin Huang was stunned to hear what Bloody said. Indeed, he had never thought of that before. He thought things were more troublesome now that she reminded him.
“If that’s the case, there’s nothing that I can do to the people from the Black Abyss at all.”
“Well, it’s not completely a no go.” Bloody lifted her head to look at Lin Huang. She only continued after pausing for a moment, “You can still act from behind the scenes.”
Lin Huang had a rough guess about what she was trying to get at as he listened up to this point, but he still did not understand it entirely. “It doesn’t matter. As long as I act personally, it’d still trigger the awakening of Aza’s clone if many people from the Black Abyss die or lose their minds.”
“What I mean is that you should hide behind the scenes and not show yourself. Reveal their information to the other grade-SSs organizations and get them to fight the Black Abyss, and have them capture as many of them alive as possible. When that happens, Aza’s clone won’t see or sense you when the
brand is triggered.”
“Meanwhile, you can seize the opportunity while the grade-SSS organizations are fighting the Black Abyss to elevate your ability as much as you can. Later on, you can join the fight when Aza’s clone comes.”
Lin Huang finally understood her thoughts now.
Bloody meant that there was no need for him to waste precious time participating in the early stages of the war.
Instead, he should seize the opportunity to elevate his ability as much as he could so that he would be powerful enough to fight against Aza’s clone.
If he did not interfere, the war between the grade-SSS organizations and the Black Abyss definitely would not end within a short period of time.
That would provide a buffer before the battle between him and Aza’s clone would take place.
“Aza’s clone’s ability is at least dominator-level rank-2 or rank-3. Within a short period of time, it’s still possible that I can break through to rank-2, but it’s quite difficult to break through to rank-3.” Lin Huang had witnessed that clone’s ability. He thought that the possibility of him catching up within a
short period of time was fairly low.
“Have you ever thought that the final result of the war would actually not be determined by the Black Abyss, but by Aza’s clone? If we don’t remove the clone from the equation, we will still lose this war in the end.”
“According to the information the Black Abyss provided, He is half-asleep and half-awake. Even without stimulation from the outside world, He might wake up anytime. We already learned from all of the revealed information that there’s no way to stop Him from waking up. Therefore, there’s only one
way to solve this issue—which is to defeat Aza’s awakened clone!”
“Got it. I’l try my best.”
Lin Huang was quite happy initially to have been elevated to dominator-level. However, the joy only lasted for a short time. He now realized that the responsibility he had to bear was even greater now..
