Worldwide Awakening: My Soul Kinds Are Lost-Chapter 539: Using Man-made Qi to Fight Against the Calamity of the Last Law_1
"A splendid victory." Wang Linchi looked at the Heavenly Luo Million Paths Dog Deity, which had been beaten to death. The latter was indeed born in the wrong era. If it were several dynasties ago, perhaps... it would have died an even more miserable death.
People nowadays were indeed feeble, but those from previous dynasties had been quite fearsome, truly punching Sky Gods and kicking Demons and Ghosts. Although the weak today were still alive, those so-called Sky Gods, Demons, and Ghosts of the past were long dead, beyond any possibility of return. Demon Gods, fundamentally, were neither Demons nor gods; they more closely resembled an aggregate of thought energy. It wouldn’t be wrong to refer to them as forms of Energy Life.
However, the environment of the End of Dharma has declined significantly again.
Wang Linchi checked the level of his game character. It was originally at 17, but after the death of the Heavenly Luo Million Paths Dog Deity and Pei Jiang’s entry into the Capital, it dropped another 2 levels, making the new maximum level only 15.
If this continues, once it drops below level 10, not only will there be problems with the Transcendent, but the normal world rules will also be affected.
Wang Linchi understood clearly that level 10 was roughly the standard of a typical world without magic or mystery, and also the world’s ultimate bottom line. Therefore, he wondered how much longer this world could last. If the level dropped to zero, the world would undoubtedly be doomed. Unless it could be stabilized at level 10, there was basically no chance of winning.
At that point, Charms would lose much of their power. Something like the Two Sword Talismans of Mysterious Yin and Yang would simply cease to function. Even if one could manufacture them according to the proper procedure with the correct materials, they would just be useless scraps.
More importantly, everything left behind from past dynasties would become junk—at best, slightly more aesthetically pleasing rubbish.
I wonder if the world has any emergency measures; otherwise, if it really gets destroyed, then... Wait, can I initiate a man-made System of Qi?
Wang Linchi suddenly had this thought. He truly didn’t want to lose this world. As long as the System of Qi and the Calamity of the Last Law could maintain a certain balance—not asking for too much, just enough to last him another thousand or eight hundred years, allowing him to harvest one or two more civilizations before he died—it would be worth it. He was indeed just one step away.
The problem is, how do I manufacture it? Wang Linchi couldn’t help but ponder this.
Then, his gaze fell upon his Golden Core.
Should this thing work if it’s modified a bit?
Wang Linchi’s mind raced. The Golden Core didn’t have much use in his hands anymore, mainly because his current attacks were very simplistic: just smashing with Fanciful and Fickle. At most, he might add the Philosopher’s Stone, Golden Core Illusion, and so on. His main attack was essentially a Power Big Flying Brick. There was no need to worry about spiritual power either; with his current reserves, even if he unleashed all his spiritual power and missed the enemy, it would have already regenerated.
This rendered the Golden Core rather marginal to Wang Linchi, to the point where it was better suited for his human skin’s External Incarnation or Second Original Spirit. However, it was normal for things to be phased out. He was constantly growing stronger; if his initial abilities could still keep up with him, wouldn’t that imply he hadn’t grown at all? This item inherently had limited potential for Growth.
The idea is great, but why do I have to use myself? Can’t I use someone else? Wang Linchi realized this as well. While he no longer cared much for the Golden Core, it was still a part of his body. Using it himself felt somewhat strange; it would be better to let someone else use it. If that was the case, why not choose an unlucky candidate to inherit it?
Li Qinglian? The first person who came to Wang Linchi’s mind was naturally the Nine Extremes. That fellow was indeed useful and quickly got the hang of anything given to him.
However, he soon dismissed the idea. The Nine Extremes might look unimpressive now, but ultimately, he was not someone to be trifled with. If Wang Linchi gave it to him, who knew what might happen. What if the God-eating Spirit Body evolved further and rejected his Golden Core? Not to mention, they might have to meet again in the future.
Meatball... never mind. That one has to be used as material. It looks like I can only choose Pei Jiang.
Wang Linchi’s list of candidates wasn’t long. They either possessed great destiny or came from extraordinary backgrounds. Thus, only a few caught his eye. Since the Nine Extremes and Meatball were unsuitable, only this Hidden Dragon, currently transforming into a True Dragon, seemed viable.
He didn’t have to worry about Pei Jiang refusing either. If he could further modify the Golden Core method and create a new Cultivation Technique, Wang Linchi would include a feature that Pei Jiang couldn’t possibly refuse: Immortality! Which emperor didn’t desire eternal life to exclusively enjoy their vast, millennia-spanning foundation?
The only drawback was that Wang Linchi’s modification of the Golden Core method would require a certain amount of time, and success was not guaranteed.
Bai Changsheng is crucial. After all, he is the protagonist of Fate assigned by the world. His past Spirit Bone and Spirit Vein could also offer me One-armed Strength, especially the Everlasting Bone. Wang Linchi quickly found a brand-new candidate: the protagonist who had specialized in longevity and Comprehension back then.
That individual was likely some kind of catalyst for the System of Qi. He had speculated about this before but hadn’t fully realized it. Now, he could indeed sense it. However, Bai Changsheng... forget his ashes, he didn’t even have a grave now. Bai Changsheng’s era was nearly seven hundred years ago. If it had only been seven days, Wang Linchi might have been able to save him, but seven hundred years was out of the question. Unless he could travel through time, he shouldn’t even think about it. And if he could travel through time, why bother with a System of Qi? He could just travel directly to this world’s Ancient Times, not only enjoying better things but also feasting on these civilizations again. Why put himself through the trouble of nurturing things?
I can only go through the data. Naturally, Wang Linchi had nothing of Bai Changsheng’s left. Bai Changsheng’s Spirit Bone and Spirit Vein had been used by Wang Linchi to cultivate his own. The Spirit Law hadn’t manifested from him at all, and his body had been burned to prevent him from reviving.
After some contemplation, Wang Linchi decided he could only take it one step at a time.
I have to find a chance to retrieve Meatball. It was severely injured after ambushing Li Qinglian. Luckily, severe injuries aren’t a big deal for Meatball; it can recover in a few days. But if I just consume it like this, it doesn’t seem quite right.
Wang Linchi checked Meatball’s data and was very satisfied with all aspects. It was, after all, fully mature and ready for harvest. However, upon further reflection, he felt it was a pity to just consume it.
The Heng Emperor hasn’t died yet, he’s only imprisoned, Wang Linchi mused, stroking his chin.
Although Pei Jiang controlled the Capital, it wasn’t appropriate for him to proclaim himself emperor now. He would have to at least pacify the realm before ascending the throne. The Rebel Armies, Warlords, and others had not yet been dealt with. If he dared to proclaim himself emperor now, he would undoubtedly become a target for all. Capturing the Capital, imprisoning the Heng Emperor, and his series of achievements were already highly conspicuous. How could he dare to take another step? That would be tantamount to signing his own death warrant.
Given the current situation, the Great Heng’s national fortune actually still has a little bit left, Wang Linchi thought, his eyes narrowing, believing he should make use of this remnant. Otherwise, in a while, the members of the Nine Extremes Sect would begin their operations. By then, the Great Heng would have perished, and Wang Linchi would only be able to salvage some civilization to consume.
Therefore, he wanted to get two benefits from this one situation: not only to consume the dynastic civilization of the Great Heng but also to devour its national destiny and fortune. After all, the two didn’t conflict. The only drawback was figuring out how to consume it.
This was precisely what led Wang Linchi to think of Meatball and the Heng Emperor. The Heng Emperor, imprisoned in the palace, was naturally filled with resentment. Meatball, wanted and hunted, was chased like a stray dog. If these two were to meet and some subtle reactions occurred, Wang Linchi could seize his chance.
As for executing the plan, it was actually quite simple. The Nine Extremes Divine Palace existed, after all. Once Wang Linchi stealthily controlled it, he could indirectly influence the members of the Nine Extremes Sect. In terms of execution, the abilities of the Nine Extremes Sect members were indeed flawless. Wang Linchi could also provide support from the sidelines.
The Heng Emperor and Meatball will just have to suffer a little. The Nine Extremes Divine Palace can shoulder the blame then, Wang Linchi thought, an expression on his face as if he were doing it all for their own good. Whether it was truly for their sake was another matter entirely. The necessary emotional display had to be there; otherwise, wouldn’t it seem like he didn’t even know how to be hypocritical?
But if I really take the Great Heng’s national destiny and fortune, using Meatball for the game character’s internal organs seems a bit inappropriate. I’ll have to re-plan its final use.
Even if it couldn’t be used as internal organs, there were other ways for it to die. There was no need to worry about it not dying; Wang Linchi had other contingency plans for such situations.
