The middle-aged man sitting across the coffee table glanced at Lin Huang with an odd expression, but he was not nosy enough to ask further. Instead, he nodded directly and said, "I can provide that information for free. Is there anything else that you need?"
Lin Huang fell into silence momentarily before lifting his head to look at the middle-aged man. "Do you have information about the Black Abyss here? As well as information about Aza…"
The middle-aged man had a slight change of expression as he listened up to this point. He interrupted Lin Huang instantly, "It's better that you avoid mentioning that person's name as much as possible."
"Regarding the Black Abyss' information, we can provide it to you as long as you pay enough. However, about that entity, we can't provide you with any information."
"I can only tell you that, if it wasn't for the fact that He was in hibernation, the simple action of you mentioning his name earlier would be enough to contaminate you and turn you into an Abyssal creature."
Lin Huang frowned slightly, but he was still unwilling. "Then can I ask if He's the god of the Abyss?"
"Yes, and no." The middle-aged man looked rather troubled, but he answered anyway, "If you must delve deep into this, I'll provide you with an ancient precept—The Abyss is just His dream."
The precept the middle-aged man provided was almost identical to what White Brow had said.
However, Lin Huang still could not really understand if that was just a simple statement, or whether there was a deeper meaning behind it.
"If you have a dispute with the Black Abyss, you will only need to learn about them. Don't go looking for information about Him," the middle-aged man hesitated for a moment and advised him anyway.
"Aren't the people from the Black Abyss His believers?" Lin Huang asked in slight confusion.
"Will a God care for the worship of ants?" The middle-aged man raised his brows.
Lin Huang instantly came to a realization and nodded. "I get it now. The conflicts I have with the Black Abyss stays with the Black Abyss."
The middle-aged man seemed to be relieved. "Anything else?"
Lin Huang fell silent for a while before speaking again, "I'd like to know about the information outside the universe…"
"I can provide that to you for free as well." The middle-aged man nodded. "Of course, it'll just be the basic information."
"That's good enough." Lin Huang nodded in satisfaction. "Thanks."
"Do you need anything else?" The middle-aged man asked again.
Lin Huang thought for a moment and shook his head. "That's all for now.
"However, I have my doubts." Lin Huang lifted his head and said to the middle-aged man as he stared at him, "Why are you giving me this information for free?"
The middle-aged man smiled when he heard that question. "I'm a businessman. It's only natural for me to befriend a potential client. Although I have clients who are beyond heavenly dao-level like you, there aren't many of them. Although this current transaction might be small, there might be larger ones and more opportunities in the future."
"Moreover, the information I'm providing you for free is public information in many places outside the universe. I don't want you to find out that I received money from you for such free information when you leave the universe."
Lin Huang nodded with a smile after hearing his words. "Sure. I look forward to a great transaction opportunity in the future."
"Oh yeah. My name's Qian Shisan, let's be friends." The middle-aged man stretched out his hand toward Lin Huang.
"Lin Xie." Lin Huang gave him his pseudonym.
In reality, he knew that with the man's capabilities, no matter whether he told him his name or not, it would be easy for him to find out who he was.
He did not give his real name to indicate his stance that he did not want people to know his identity. He did not provide a ridiculous pseudonym as that would have been too insincere. Therefore, he gave him the pseudonym that he had used before.
After sharing each other's names and chatting for a little bit, they conducted the official transaction.
Lin Huang spent some money to purchase information about the Black Abyss. Very soon, Qian Shisan gathered the few information pieces he was providing for free, as well as the information about the Black Abyss, and sent them to Lin Huang's temporary communication device. He then saw him off.
Watching Lin Huang's figure gradually disappear, Qian Shisan smirked lightly and mumbled softly, "I believe that we'll meet again soon enough…"
Lin Huang downloaded the information Qian Shisan sent him as soon as he returned to the Feister Star Zone. He then began to examine them in all seriousness.
The first thing he looked at was the information about heavenly dao-level and beyond heavenly dao-level that Qian Shisan had provided for free.
This document was undoubtedly much more detailed than the one Xia Bing had provided.
The so-called heavenly dao-level was the level evolved from when one's Kingdom in their body was full and could no longer consolidate any more Dao seals.
In reality, there was an important threshold to this level, which was to consolidate a Heavenly Dao in their Kingdom.
All of the Dao seals would be consolidated into a Heavenly Dao!
As soon as they achieved that, their Kingdom could be considered full.
That was the foundation needed to consolidate the second Kingdom.
However, the process of consolidating a Heavenly Dao was extremely dangerous.
The process of consolidating a Heavenly Dao from Dao seals was similar to consolidating god sequence chains into Dao seals. Energy as terrifying as nuclear fusion would be released as well.
The energy impact would be released by the consolidation of millions of Dao seals…
The impact on the Kingdom was over a hundred million times more powerful than the time when one consolidated god sequence chains into Dao seals.
Even if it was just the aftermath, it was powerful enough to destroy most limit major dao-level powerhouses' physical bodies and God's souls.
That was why there were many Lords and dao-level powerhouses in the universe, but there were very few heavenly dao-level powerhouses.
There were not even 30 heavenly dao-level powerhouses in total in the entire Eastern Eight Zone.
Meanwhile, for the nine levels of heavenly dao-level, the difficulty of each new Kingdom consolidation and Heavenly Dao would be multiplied.
The reason being was that Kingdoms would repel each other. Not only that, the Heavenly Dao was something that could not coexist.
Each time a new Heavenly Dao was consolidated, the old Heavenly Dao in the previous Kingdom would stir up a riot.
Therefore, the higher the rank of heavenly dao-level, the more difficult it would become.
If one was careless, they might have their Kingdoms destroyed and Heavenly Daos collapse.
The least serious consequence was having one's level drop, but they might also have their Kingdom and Heavenly Dao crushed entirely and fall back to major dao-level. There would be no hope in leveling up in their entire lives from then on.
The most serious case would be having their Kingdom explode, and their physical bodies and God's souls turning into ashes instantly!
Lin Huang could not help but exclaim as he read up to this point, "Heavenly dao-level is so dangerous!"
After reading every word listed in the information about heavenly dao-level, Lin Huang soon proceeded to read further.
He finally saw the level above heavenly dao-level—dominator-level!
The so-called dominator-level was to collide and integrate the nine Kingdoms to consolidate a supreme Kingdom when one had reached complete-stage heavenly dao-level rank-9!
This process was tens of thousands of times more dangerous than consolidating a Heavenly Dao to get to heavenly dao-level. The reason being was that integrating nine Kingdoms into one would mean that the nine Heavenly Daos would collide with each other. One would then crush the nine Heavenly Daos into fragments and consolidate them once again!
Not only would that require one to be fearless, possess great perseverance, but it would also require a physical body and God's soul that was sufficiently powerful.
Furthermore, this process was even more dangerous than consolidating a Heavenly Dao to achieve heavenly dao-level.
The reason being was that the slightest mistake would result in the Heavenly Daos and Kingdoms being destroyed, erasing one's physical body and God's soul completely.
Moreover, one could integrate chaotic cosmoses that were like the universe as soon as they elevated from heavenly dao-level to dominator-level, becoming a dominator that controlled many chaotic cosmoses!
