Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After gaining control over the Queen Mothers and Bug Queens, Lin Huang let them all go. He had them lead him into the core of the hive, where he then assumed control over it and had Xiao Hei turn the core into a card.

If he had not subdued this group of Queen Mothers and Bug Queens, he might have needed to spend several months just to find the core.

However, to save Origin Energy, Lin Huang did not ask Xiao Hei to produce a simulation of the entire hive. Instead, he turned the hive’s core into a card and assumed control of the core itself.

After all, as long as he controlled the core, it would be equivalent to controlling the entire hive.

When he had finished with these matters, Lin Huang had Xiao Hei transfer the contract relationships of all the Queen Mothers and Bug Queens to the hive’s core, except for that of the lower-rank lord-level Queen Mother.

This way, they would no longer occupy his summoning quota.

Although Xiao Hei had entirely abolished the limit on Lin Huang’s number of summoning cards,?the more bug beasts he summoned, the greater the burden on Xiao Hei’s functions.

Transferring the contract relationship to the hive meant less pressure on Xiao Hei.

Furthermore, at present, Lin Huang found it almost unnecessary to summon beasts below lord-level anymore.

The reason he had killed those Queen Mothers and Bug Queens, then turned them into Monster Cards, was only so he could assume total control of the entire hive.

After all, each Queen Mother and Bug Queen had a definite influence in the hive—they each had their own supporters. The more powerful their abilities and the higher their rank, the more influence they had in the hive.

If Lin Huang did not have complete authority over the hive and any of the Queen Mothers’ combat strength elevated to lord-level, or any of the Bug Queens elevated to Pure Spirit, it would affect his control.

Therefore, he decided to turn all of them into Monster Cards to put an end to this risk once and for all.

Not only that, after transferring the contracts of multiple rank-5 bug beasts and the hive’s core, Lin Huang had the Queen Mothers decree that all the other bug beasts in the hive must establish a new contract with the hive’s core within the next few days.

This would ensure that he would have control of all the bug beasts in the entire hive. There would be no chances for betrayal at all.

After completing all these matters, Lin Huang put away his Kingdom and let the hive out.

Standing before the colossal hive, he considered for a while. In the end, he decided not to conquer the other hives once and for all.

According to the memories Shasha (the lower-rank Lord Queen Mother) had shared with him, apart from the Ten Thousand Bug Maze, there were still three super hives in the great world.

The Queen Mothers of two of these hives were Shasha’s twin sisters. Both were half-step Lords.

The last hive had Queen Mothers that were peak heavenly god-level twins. They were Shasha’s two daughters.

These three super hives all had lord-level bug guardians protecting them.

In scale, those hives were as massive as the Ten Thousand Bug Maze.

Lin Huang thought it over once more but still abandoned the idea of trying to capture Shasha’s family in the end.

First of all, he had little interest in half-step lord-level Queen Mothers, much less the twins who were only heavenly god-level.

Naturally, if the twins elevated to become Lords, he did not mind making a trip to establish a contract with the two of them.

Secondly, Shasha had taken the initiative to surrender, so he had been able to swiftly establish a contract and assume control of the hive.

If the Queen Mothers of the three other hives refused to surrender regardless, then he would have no choice but to destroy them together with their hives at that point.

If he wished to keep the entire bug horde intact, he would need to spend a couple of months playing hide-and-seek with the Queen Mothers in the hive.

After settling the matter of the hive, Lin Huang summoned the Gate of All Realms and stepped directly through it.

This time, he did not return to the Ricky Star but to the human world.

He emerged right away in the Demon Eye Star Zone in the human world.

The Demon Eye Star Zone was so named because this super star zone made up of hundreds of star zones of various sizes had the biggest Abyssal rift in the human world.

From afar, the entire super star zone looked like a gigantic closed eye.

Furthermore, this dangerous area was also an exceptionally flourishing location, second only to the core zone of the human world.

Lin Huang was planning to establish a branch of the Sword Alliance in this region.

This was because land in the core zone was scarce and expensive, and practically every star zone was already occupied by major organizations.

Although he was powerful, he could not bring himself to occupy someone else’s territory by force.

However, the Demon Eye Star Zone was different. Criminal elements and good people mingled; danger and opportunities coexisted. Practically every day, organizations were destroyed, and new organizations were built up.

The most flourishing star zone in the Demon Eye Star Zone was called Heaven Island.

In this star zone, the three most prosperous and bustling planets had been respectively established by three grade-7 organizations—Daluo Temple, Leiyin Temple, and Sanctuary.

On the surface, these planets appeared to be the territory of the three Saints. In reality, the seven sects had also established branches on these three planets.

In a flash, Lin Huang appeared on the Eastern Cruise Planet in Heaven Island.

This was Leiyin Temple’s territory. Temples could be seen everywhere.

There were not just humans on this planet, but many other Tribe members as well. Lin Huang also sensed the aura of many Protoss.

This proved that humans were still very tolerant.

They did not display hatred or hostility toward other Tribes.

Lin Huang strolled around for a bit before he found a hotel where he could stay.

In the hotel room, he let Sword1 and the others out from his Kingdom.

“Lord Swordmaster, has the crisis been resolved?”

Sword1 asked as soon as he saw Lin Huang.

“Yes, it has.” Lin Huang nodded while smiling.

However, Sword1 and the team still looked somewhat gloomy.

The Sword Servants knew very well that with their current abilities, they could not help their swordmaster. In fact, they were even beginning to slow him down.

Lin Huang could tell what his Sword Servants were thinking and patted Sword1’s shoulder. “All of you have actually helped me a great deal. What’s more, there are many matters later on that I’ll need your help with.”

Lin Huang then brought up the matter of establishing a branch of the Sword Alliance. After that, he held a discussion with the entire group of Sword Servants until nighttime, setting out the preliminary plans for the formation of another Sword Alliance.

For one, he wanted to found a Sword Alliance in the great world to complete Great Heaven’s dying wish. For another, he wanted to set up a bigger territory so the people in the gravel world could better establish themselves.

Although the gravel world was currently in Lin Huang’s Kingdom and resources were much more abundant than before, there was still a definite disparity when compared with the great world.

Lin Huang also hoped that more talented geniuses would emerge from the gravel world.

This was because as far as he was concerned, the more powerhouses produced in his Kingdom, the more powerful his Godly Right would become. Even if these powerhouses left his Kingdom, they would still essentially be his people. As they became more powerful, it would still result in a reciprocal effect for his Kingdom.

Lin Huang was anxious to train up more Lords from his Kingdom.

He had even considered using Combat Strength Upgrade Cards to elevate Sword1 and the rest directly to Lords. However, Xiao Hei had vetoed his suggestion at once.

Cards like the Combat Strength Upgrade Card and the Advance Card could only be used on Monster Cards.

After pondering for a moment, in the end, Lin Huang gave up on the idea of converting Sword1 and the rest into card monsters.

If he converted them into card monsters, their contract relationship with Lin Huang’s Kingdom would be automatically be dissolved. In other words, even if he elevated them to Lords, it would not strengthen his Kingdom at all. Therefore, it would be useless to convert them into card monsters.

For another, Lin Huang certainly could not bring himself to kill Sword1 and the rest, even if doing so would merely translate them into another form of existence.
