After sending the people from the heretics off, Lin Huang informed Huang Tianfu before going into closed-door cultivation .
This time, he was no longer cultivating Seamless but breaking through his combat strength by refining Godheads .
Together with the two Virtual God rank-9 Godheads that he tossed into his body as well as the 136 complete Godheads and 1,528 broken Godheads, they were enough to boost him by two ranks .
His leveling up to imperial-level was completely different from the rest . He did not have to look for Life Base monsters and killed them to obtain its Life Base . All he had to do was to refine enough Godheads to transform his Life Palace automatically .
In reality, compared to obtaining his Life Base, this was much easier . The only problem was that it was time-consuming .
Fortunately, there was a boost in his Divine Fire since he elevated to imperial-level . The speed of refining Godheads was a few times faster than when he was on immortal-level .
Initially, he would only refine 1% of Virtual God rank-9 Godheads throughout a full day of maximum effort . Now, he could refine over 3% per day which would take him a month to complete refining all of them .
Lin Huang merely peeked at Bloody who was focused on the simulation in the Emperor Palace and glanced away . He also found a space to sit with his legs crossed . Quieting his mind, he began to activate the Divine Fire in his body to refine the Godheads .
The 1,500 or so broken Godheads that he put in his body earlier were refined by the Divine Fire automatically within an hour . Throughout the three days, even though he did not refine them on his own, more than 40 Virtual God rank-1 and rank-2 Godheads were refined by the Divine Fire . Even half of the Virtual God rank-3 Godheads were refined .
As Lin Huang activated the Divine Fire himself, the refining speed skyrocketed six to seven times faster .
Lin Huang looked into his body and could even see 21 Virtual God rank-3 Godheads melting rapidly at a speed that could be seen with the naked eye .
In less than half an hour, half of the Virtual God rank-3 Godheads were melted by Divine Fire fully and turned into clumps of golden gravel .
Some ten hours later, all of the Virtual God rank-4 Godheads were refined .
Over 20 hours had passed, and all of the Virtual God rank-5 Godheads were refined .
Later on, Lin Huang spent two days refining the 13 Virtual God rank-6 Godheads .
He then spent approximately half a month to refine all of the other Godheads apart from the two Virtual God rank-9 Godheads . He soon arrived on the brink of breaking through to imperial-level rank-2 .
However, he was not sure if it was a lack of Divine Fire intensity, but the speed of refining the two Virtual God rank-9 Godheads was one fold slower when they were refined together . Fifteen days had passed, but only a quarter of them was refined .
Lin Huang did not rush nonetheless . No matter what, looking at the progress, they would be completely refined completely one and a half months later .
Time passed by . Lin Huang’s aura was growing almost every day in the Emperor Palace .
Meanwhile, the collaboration between Dynasty, the Union Government and the heretics were getting on track since half a month had passed .
Since the trading system opened, the members of three organizations soon familiarized themselves with the new trading model .
The transformation of the trading system added more choices . It also caused the members of the three organizations to be more enthusiastic to hunt for resources to purchase the items they desired .
Apart from the trading system, Dynasty’s intel department also began working with the Union Government and the heretics . They expanded Dynasty’s intel channel by heaps as well as boosted the efficiency of obtaining information .
The heretics gained many benefits from the collaboration .
On the underground organization’s side, Misery also carried something out throughout the half a month .
Using Dynasty’s pulling out of the underground world as an excuse, Misery began engaging in all aspects of the underground world and came up with a series of new regulations . They seemed like they were going to take charge of the entire underground world .
Everyone in the underground world was discussing it .
Many thought that Misery must have been triggered by Dynasty . However, the top organizations could tell that Misery was using it as an excuse and was taking the opportunity to integrate the entire underground world .
Although Misery had many fans, they had many haters too .
The promotion of Misery’s new regulation throughout the half a month was considered a failure, and they even received many objections .
As Lin Huang was refining the last two Godheads with all of his might, it was getting closer to New Year’s Eve .
Usually, all the organizations would slow their activities down when it was close to New Year’s Eve because most people would spend time with their families .
However, since Dynasty had just collaborated with the heretics and the Union Government this year, both neutral organization members were extraordinarily active .
On the union organization’s side, the Union Government had begun their exploration in Dynasty’s trial zones .
Before Lin Huang went into closed-door cultivation, he had given Huang Tianfu the authorization, so his closed-door cultivation did not affect the Union Government going into the trial zones .
Apart from that, the underground boss, Misery, had preliminary success in promoting the new regulations .
They even killed two organization members who were playing tricks secretly to warn the people for the sake of promoting the new regulations .
The few top underground organizations including the Purple Crow and Saint dared not object any longer .
The consecutive activities in the union organizations, the neutral organizations, and the underground organizations made the last month before New Year’s Eve even more crowded than before .
Naturally, not all the organizations were merely watching .
As the top spy organization in the entire world, the Mystic Butterfly was the first to notice something going on with the heretics .
They went prying around after realizing that the people from the heretics became more hardworking . They were familiar with the heretics, so they knew about their casual and lazy way of handling things . Finally, they found out about the truth .
They were surprised to find out that the heretics were collaborating with Dynasty and working with the Union Government indirectly . They had even obtained internal trading access to the Union Government .
The Mystic Butterfly did not blow things up after learning that . Instead, they visited Dynasty secretly .
Although they did not get to meet Lin Huang during the visit, the discussion was smooth with Dynasty’s three Grand Dukes . They only spent two days coming up with the agreement . They became Dynasty’s third collaboration partners after the agreement was signed .
The Mystic Butterfly obtained the trading access they desired while Dynasty obtained access to the Mystic Butterfly’s data .
After the Mystic Butterfly joined Dynasty, the Union Government also got the Hunter Association within less than three days . However, the Union Government reserved the leading position for the Hunter Association coming in instead of Dynasty .
Dynasty and the Union Government were the core of the collaboration circle . It grew stronger after involving a few organizations within less than two months .
Even Huang Tianfu and the rest did not expect that the collaboration method Lin Huang came up with could attract so many people to join them within such a short period of time .
They had no idea that it was called a circle on Earth . However, the circles on Earth were mostly created by business moguls and not the entire organization joined them but individuals .
