Chapter 1525: Chapter 1525 – Workers

There were two cocoons in the Great Heaven Palace . One was blood-red, while the other was dark purple; both had peculiar sigils circulating faintly on them .

Lin Huang observed them for a while to confirm that the two were in stable condition before he looked away from the two cocoons .

He knew that Bai and Teng Ran would not be emerging from their cocoons any time soon .

After settling the matter of Bai and Teng Ran, he thought for a little while and sent his consciousness into his body . He began looking at the card projections of Grimace, Charcoal, Lancelot, and the rest of his mythical-level rank-4 imperial monsters, recording down all the materials they needed for advancement .

Later on, he sent each of these lists of advancement materials to their respective imperial monsters via voice transmission .

After he had finished sending all the lists out, Lin Huang spoke through voice transmission again .

“Since combat strength authorization for heavenly god-level has now been made accessible, your combat strength is sufficient for you to elevate your level to where you can be independent in the great world .

“All of you will have to find ways to obtain future advancement materials on your own . If you really can’t find some of the rare materials, you can come to me and trade with items of the same value .

“Apart from that, all of you will have to take responsibility for your daily expenses from now on . I won’t be providing complimentary food and accommodation services anymore . Naturally, you can come to me to trade items of the same value for items that are hard to obtain on the market, if there’s any that you require . After all, you are my imperial monsters so I won’t collect extra handling fees .

“In order to allow you to obtain sufficient cultivation resources and advancement materials, all of you may roam freely in the great world most of the time from now on . However, this freedom comes with a caveat—you must form a team consisting of at least two people . Furthermore, unless it’s the last resort, members of the same team can’t go off on their own .

“Discuss among yourselves about forming teams, and send me the group list within the next three days . From that time on, you will all move in your individual teams . For those who haven’t come up with a group during these three days, I’ll recall them into card forms right away .

“Also, there’s one last thing . There are many powerhouses in the great world, so don’t stir things up on purpose . If any of you offend half-step lord-level or lord-level powerhouses and are killed by Odylic Force, there’s no way you can be revived . ”

Lin Huang had another reason for being able to release his imperial monsters without worrying, apart from allowing them to elevate their combat strength to heavenly god-level . He could revive the imperial monsters with his Rule Bending Power in the God Territory if they were killed .

However, the God Territory’s Rule Bending Power would not be able to revive them if they were killed by Odylic Force .

“Be as low profile as you can when you’re out there . If you’re considering stirring things up, please consider first whether you can handle it . ” Lin Huang was clearly saying this for Grimace’s benefit .

Among all the imperial monsters, Grimace was the one he was most worried about .

The imperial monsters had thus far spent most of their time in card form . Even when they were summoned, they did everything under Lin Huang’s scrutiny . He could see whatever Grimace did, clear as anything . However, now that Grimace had been given sufficient freedom, Lin Huang could almost foresee that this fellow would certainly misbehave .

All of the imperial monsters were stunned when they heard Lin Huang’s voice transmission .

For one, they had not expected that they would be given the freedom to be out on their own most of the time . On the other hand, their master had halted their supply of cultivation and advancement resources . They would have to depend on themselves to obtain all sorts of resources from now on .

Obtaining cultivation resources was doable, but there was a degree of difficulty in obtaining advancement resources .

This change was something the imperial monsters were not accustomed to . However, they had to get used to it .

They were also aware that the higher their advancement in rank, the more increasingly difficult it would be to obtain the necessary advancement materials . It was a massive burden to their master as well .

As the number of imperial monsters grew, the burden increased too .

Therefore, the imperial monsters understood why Lin Huang was doing this .

They soon adjusted themselves and began their transition into workers .

After all, they had been relying on someone to take care of them previously; now, they had to take care of themselves .

As the voice transmission with his imperial monsters ended, Lin Huang received questions one after the other from Charcoal and the rest, and he answered them one by one .

The imperial monsters began teaming up on their own after clarifying the rules of this new game .

Within ten minutes, Lin Huang began receiving the grouping lists .

Approximately an hour later, most of the imperial monsters had formed their own teams .

At that moment, Lin Huang received a voice transmission from Grimace .

“It’s not that I’m unwilling to form a group . I’ve been trying to contact Bai for an hour, but he’s ignoring me…”

Lin Huang could not help raising his brows upon hearing the voice transmission .

“Bai is elevating . He’ll need at least a month to complete his advancement . You should look for someone else . ”

“I don’t want to team up with anyone else . I’ll wait for him to get out of closed-door cultivation . ” Grimace insisted on teaming up with Bai . “That fellow is too much! I can’t believe he quietly went off to advance his level without saying a word to anyone!”

“Don’t wait for Bai . His abilities will be way ahead of yours after he gets out of closed-door cultivation . If you both team up, the opponents that you fight won’t give him any training results, and you’ll only be able to sit on the sidelines and watch while he fights his opponents . A team like that won’t do any good for either of you . ”

After saying that, Lin Huang glanced at the group lists that had already been sent over to him before continuing, “Join Charcoal and Lancelot’s group . I’ll feel more relieved with them watching you . ”

“The way you put it is as if I might possibly do something bad…” Grimace was rather annoyed . He did not expect himself to be assigned so succinctly to another group .

However, he could not decline his master’s arrangement . He could only agree to it, feeling aggrieved .

On the other end, Lancelot and Charcoal were puzzled . They had chosen to team up with each other and were not expecting another person to join them out of nowhere . The two-person team had become a three-person team now .

They thought it was Grimace who had chosen to do this and asked him through voice transmission immediately .

“Haven’t you always teamed up with Bai? Why did you choose to be in our group this time?”

“Bai is in the middle of advancement…” Grimace did not bother to explain any further .

“So we’re your second choice?” Charcoal pouted .

“No,” Grimace denied with complete honesty .

“Then, why did you choose us?” Charcoal proceeded to ask .

“Our almighty master arranged that,” Grimace replied in a huff .

“Alright then…” Clearly, Charcoal had not expected that answer .

“Since the team has already been decided upon, let’s discuss where to meet . ” At that moment, Lancelot, who had been listening to the duo’s conversation, finally spoke up . “Let’s share our coordinates with each other . ”

The three of them did not raise any further objections to Lin Huang’s arrangement .

Grimace was the first to speak after the three of them shared their coordinates .

“What kind of lousy corner are you guys in?”

“We’re at the border of the Devil Hunter Star Zone . Why did you go so far away?!” Charcoal blinked his eyes twice . Grimace’s coordinates were close to the God Territory’s core zone .

“What resources would there be in the middle of nowhere?” Grimace smirked . “Let me tell you guys what the core zone is . It’s the most developed place in the entire God Territory with the richest resources . We can obtain many resources much more easily in such a place; we can even obtain those rare advancement materials that others find difficult to obtain…”

“That makes sense…” Charcoal nodded slightly while cupping his chin with a claw .

Meanwhile, Lancelet fell silent as well on the other end…
