Worldwide Awakening: My Soul Kinds Are Lost-Chapter 581: One Awakening, Top-Level Supportive Daddy_1

It took nearly a month to collect all the Awakening Materials.

It wasn't that the materials were hard to collect, but rather a matter of meticulously screening for quality.

The New Energy Company still had some connections. Wang Linchi had initially expected average quality at best, but surprisingly, all the materials obtained were of high quality.

However, this consequently led to a significant increase in the company's expenditures.

No one complained, though. Despite the large expenditures, their benefits and compensation remained untouched, so naturally, each of them awakened.

After his first awakening, Wang Linchi's Heroic Spirit acquired another Talent, and his ability, the Spirit Law of the World, was unlocked from Level 1 to Level 3.

The skill tree expanded once again.

Level 1 provided buffs, Level 2 was for healing, and Level 3 involved debuffs.

No matter how one looked at it, this Heroic Spirit was entirely support-oriented, without a single offensive skill.

What made it even more exceptional was that all its effects were percentage-based, which further boosted its popularity.

The prefix had also changed. It was originally Spirit Master, but now it was Grand Academician, presumably from the stage when he was enfeoffed in the Golden Luandian after achieving the 'Triple First' honors in the imperial examinations.

As for the Talent he obtained, it reduced ability energy consumption. Unfortunately, it didn't reach a 100% reduction, only 99%.

This meant an ability that would cost 100 points of energy would only cost him 1 point, directly enhancing his endurance.

Unparalleled Quality is indeed powerful. Just after the first awakening, it has already become the granddaddy of support.

The Spirit Law of the World is a skill tree with a total of thirty-three skills across its three levels. Each level contains eleven distinct types of support skills, all of which can be stacked.

If he continued to unlock it, more skills could be added, though this required further awakenings.

"The materials for the second awakening can't be bought. Boss Wang, you'll have to go to the bases around the Spacetime Rift to exchange for them," his secretary said.

Materials for the first awakening were relatively easy to find and circulated commonly. While materials for a second awakening also existed, they were considerably scarcer.

"They use the Federation's internal Contribution Points there; money is useless," Wang Linchi grumbled.

If money were still the primary currency for such items, it could destabilize the monetary system. Therefore, to cater to the Summoners' needs, the Federation had established a separate monetary system for them. While it had some connections to the standard financial system used by ordinary people, these links were not strong, effectively partitioning the two.

This was to prevent problems in one monetary system from affecting the other.

Acquiring the Federation's internal Contribution Points was straightforward: one had to complete Federation tasks or make significant contributions.

So essentially, one had to work for the Federation, which in return provided corresponding benefits.

"Then I'll start packing your luggage immediately and have the finance department book your flight." The secretary was so proactive that he seemed eager to send Wang Linchi off that very instant.

"With the way you're acting, I'm starting to suspect you're planning to usurp my position," Wang Linchi remarked, feeling as if his secretary was trying to push him into a fiery pit.

"Don't be ridiculous. Apart from stamping documents and selling the company, what real power do you have? You even need me to go out and buy you a drink," the secretary retorted, not minding in the least. Wang Linchi indeed held little day-to-day authority, yet he possessed the ultimate power, though he rarely exercised it.

"Fine, fine, go book it then. I want first class, and also I need…" Wang Linchi rambled on with a list of demands.

The secretary's expression darkened slightly. He desperately wanted to say that this wasn't a vacation; it was a trip to battle within the Spacetime Rift. Yet, on second thought, it probably wasn't much different from a vacation for Wang Linchi.

Given King Heaven Equivalent's abilities, he would be protected wherever he went.

So, there was really no need to worry about life-threatening dangers.

"Understood…" the secretary replied before hastily departing to make the arrangements.

Once the secretary had left, Wang Linchi's playful expression vanished, and he turned his focus to Bai Xuan.

Bai Xuan had, by this time, summoned his fifth Heroic Spirit, also of Unparalleled Quality.

This development had attracted considerable attention within the Summoner community, though many criticized him for his perceived foolishness.

Nurturing a single Heroic Spirit to ten awakenings required an astronomical amount of resources. Even top-tier Summoners typically had at most two Heroic Spirits: a fully awakened main general and another side general still undergoing development. It was impossible for anyone with more than three Heroic Spirits to avoid being dragged down by the immense resource cost.

Not to mention Bai Xuan had directly summoned five Heroic Spirits. Even Unparalleled Quality wouldn't matter if there weren't enough awakenings to enhance the Heroic Spirits' strength; they simply wouldn't succeed.

Moreover, the Heroic Spirits he summoned didn't complement each other at all. There must be a connection, a synergy, between a main general and its side generals.

Take Wang Linchi's Grand Academician Heroic Spirit, for example. The best candidates for its side general would have been Li Zheng or Zhang Lin. The former could compensate for its inherent lack of attack power, while the latter could further enhance the Grand Academician's support capabilities, elevating them to a new level.

Unfortunately, those two Heroic Spirits had already been summoned by others.

Those two were representative of the 'chickens and dogs ascending with their master' phenomenon. Their inherent quality was merely 'once in a thousand years,' but Wang Linchi's prestige had unexpectedly thrust them into the limelight.

If those two Heroic Spirits could have been summoned by him, they would have been the most suitable side generals.

Of course, Wang Linchi wasn't particularly concerned. He next planned to have Saint Master act as his own Heroic Spirit's summon, thereby serving as his combat power.

Bai Xuan is getting closer and closer to completing the Nine Extremes.

Does this imply that disaster is also approaching?

The mere thought made Wang Linchi realize that the possibility was quite high.

A protagonist's growth inevitably means an increase in responsibilities.

Does this mean that the Spacetime Rift might face issues soon? It was precisely this consideration that led Wang Linchi to decide to go to the Spacetime Rift.

He was preparing to gather firsthand data at the earliest opportunity. If convenient, he even planned to make contact with Bai Xuan.

Since Bai Xuan had already summoned five Heroic Spirits, it indicated he had progressed past the historical periods of the Xuan, Heng, and Jing dynasties. Thus, Wang Linchi didn't need to worry about altering history by interacting with him.

If Bai Xuan shared the same disposition as Bai Changsheng, then Wang Linchi could simply wait to reap the benefits.

Although more than a thousand years had passed since Wang Linchi last encountered Bai Changsheng, he still remembered him. After all, Bai Changsheng was a protagonist; the impression he left was naturally profound.

Bai Xuan was quite inspirational. He continuously undertook tasks to support his Heroic Spirits, all of whom had already undergone three awakenings and possessed considerable power.

As for the disdain from the Summoner community, Wang Linchi could only surmise that they didn't understand this 'protagonist' species.

Currently, Bai Xuan indeed seemed burdened by his Heroic Spirits. But if all nine of his Heroic Spirits were to achieve ten awakenings, the power they would possess would be unparalleled; no one would dare refute their claim to being the strongest in the world.

Most Summoners only managed two Heroic Spirits, with just one at maximum awakening. In contrast, Bai Xuan would have nine fully awakened Heroic Spirits; ganging up on him would likely be futile.

Not to mention, Bai Xuan himself would gain power from his Heroic Spirits. Even if he only absorbed ten percent of the power from each of his nine fully awakened Heroic Spirits, the combined ninety percent would be equivalent to a ten-times awakened Unparalleled Quality Spirit.

Although this was ten percent less than a single spirit's full power, the combined Talents and abilities from all nine Heroic Spirits would more than compensate for that difference.

So, the real clowns were the Summoners who ridiculed Bai Xuan.

Of course, their reaction was understandable. If Bai Xuan didn't have the Simulator System, then even if all nine Heroic Spirits he summoned were of Unparalleled Quality, he wouldn't have enough resources to cultivate them. He would only end up wasting such fine Heroic Spirits, a talent undeveloped.

Therefore, it wasn't a matter of who was right or wrong, but simply that everyone operated under different circumstances.

I hope trouble doesn't arise now. Otherwise, if I coincidentally encounter it, I might have to snatch Bai Xuan's opportunity.

Wang Linchi was unlike ordinary protagonists; for him, trouble knocking on the door usually equated to an opportunity. For other protagonists, it might genuinely just be trouble.

I must continue to improve my status in the council. At the very least, I must become a member of the Council of Elders.

The Council of Elders functioned similarly to a decision-making body, with each member holding veto power. Every one of them was a Summoner, possessing formidable martial strength to back their authority, which was how they maintained their rock-solid position.

If Wang Linchi successfully entered the Elder Group, the execution of his subsequent plans would proceed even more effectively. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

To gain entry into the Elder Group, one had to cultivate their Heroic Spirits to at least ten awakenings and possess a strong personal foundation. Only then could one meet the minimum threshold. Otherwise, what right would one have to wield the Federation's peak power?
