Worldwide Awakening: My Soul Kinds Are Lost-Chapter 413: Everlasting Bone, the Vein of Wisdom of Heaven and Earth_1
"Something’s wrong. Something is very, very wrong."
After examining Bai Changsheng, Wang Linchi was dumbfounded. How is he still a protagonist of the ’trash’ archetype?
Nine Spirit Bones and Spirit Veins of nine point nine cun, just a smidgen short of one chi.
It sounds decent, but in reality, it’s utterly useless.
Having nine Spirit Bones is normal in this backwater place, but the Spirit Veins are a major problem.
The units of measurement for Spirit Veins are zhang and chi, but below them, there’s also cun. This unit is extremely rare; encountering cun-level Spirit Veins is even rarer than finding someone with a Nine-Zhang-Nine Spiritual Vein.
And now he had met one—a protagonist, no less.
Wang Linchi’s Destiny perception noticed something unusual about him.
I thought I’d find a genius, he mused. Instead, this mediocre aptitude, even worse than Liu Ling’er’s, almost gave me high blood pressure.
This is a huge loss... Wang Linchi guessed. I might have acted too soon.
If he’s following the ’trash’ archetype, his real rise should be after becoming a Spirit Master through the basic studies examination. Right now, he’s indeed just a piece of trash.
What’s wrong? I feel like something’s off. Wang Linchi pondered for a moment, then carefully examined him again.
He found something different in the other’s Spirit Bones.
This is... a Spiritual Talent? And it’s an Innate Talent? Are you kidding me?! Wang Linchi was flabbergasted. The Spirit Bones of a supposed piece of trash actually came with an Innate Spiritual Talent!
No, not one, but two.
Wang Linchi also discovered another Spiritual Talent in Bai Changsheng’s Spirit Veins, which was simply unbelievable.
He had no idea how this was possible.
An Innate Talent could only manifest under two conditions: possessing 365 Spirit Bones or having a Nine-Zhang-Nine Spiritual Vein. Even Spirit Bones or Spirit Veins with slightly lesser aptitude couldn’t birth one; even if they could, they wouldn’t be able to sustain it.
No wonder he’s a protagonist; he truly defies common sense. Wang Linchi hadn’t expected this situation either.
After further research, he quickly understood the abilities of the two Innate Talents.
The Innate Talent of the Spirit Bones is Immortality. The talent of the Spirit Veins is somewhat peculiar; it resembles Comprehension, but it’s not quite. It’s more like some kind of information collector, transmitter, and receiver. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞
It can gather information and, according to one’s will, transmit it outwards, then receive feedback.
Its target, naturally, is the entire world.
So, while it looks like Comprehension, it’s fundamentally different.
Let’s tentatively call it Wisdom of Heaven and Earth, Wang Linchi decided.
But a protagonist is a protagonist. With the help of these two Innate Talents, I don’t have to worry much about the cultivation of my Spiritual Bone and Spiritual Meridian.
Wang Linchi’s gaze shifted to Liu Ling’er. He definitely wouldn’t let the protagonist go; he planned to sacrifice him directly. But this girl... keeping her might be a source of trouble.
She’s a direct descendant of the Liu Family; Zhenhai City will surely send people to investigate.
So, the best solution is to send her back. Then, the Liu Family of Zhenhai City will go looking for trouble with the Cheng Family.
Associate it with me? That would be absurd. There’s no connection between them and me, so why would they look for me?
They’ll only come to thank me for saving Liu Ling’er.
With this, the Liu Family will definitely come. Wang Linchi found the Pill Recipe for the Nourishing Spirit Pill on Bai Changsheng. This was what Zhang Ergou had come here to buy medicinal herbs for earlier.
The recipe had many medicinal ingredients removed, but it included detailed weights, decoction times, and other specifics. It was clearly intended as a gift for the Liu Family after arriving in Zhenhai City.
Bai Changsheng naturally intended to use it to elevate his status and avoid trouble.
Unfortunately, it fell into Wang Linchi’s hands.
Get a room at an inn and move her there later. Wang Linchi casually tucked the Pill Recipe into Liu Ling’er’s pocket and then instructed two memory constructs to handle it.
One memory construct picked up Liu Ling’er, while the other went to book the room.
Working in coordination, they left the underground laboratory and headed outside.
Meanwhile, Wang Linchi continued to experiment on Bai Changsheng.
An anomaly in his Soul? Could he be a transmigrator? Wang Linchi analyzed further, discovering the issue with the other party’s Soul.
The fact that his Spirit Bones and Spirit Veins could bear Innate Talents—two of them, no less—was inextricably linked to his Soul. It was as if his Soul had been strengthened, like one person receiving a double share.
Interesting, a fellow traveler, Wang Linchi mused. He didn’t know which world the other party had transmigrated from, but it didn’t matter; he was in his hands now.
So, the question arises again: as a transmigrator, why did the world choose him as the Son of Destiny instead of a native inhabitant?
Is the world also practicing that policy of ’rather give to an ally than to a household slave’?
No, that’s not right. The Son of Destiny isn’t an ally’s slave but its own dear child.
To abandon its own and choose someone else’s offspring... that’s just too mind-blowing. Wang Linchi felt a headache coming on; thinking about it was indeed exasperating.
He had encountered outsider protagonists before, like Zhu Tian, but their treatment wasn’t as good as Yan Ming King’s. Ye Tian and the Fate Devil God were even clearer examples: the Fate Devil God, an outsider protagonist, was suppressed to the point of becoming an accessory to Ye Tian’s Destiny.
That’s why he found this situation so jarring.
There’s another possibility: ingratiation.
The reason for ingratiation would naturally be to gain something. Otherwise, why bother pleasing the other party, even to the extent of agreeing to raise their ’child’? If there wasn’t something to gain, it would be inexplicable.
If that’s really the case, then this is troublesome.
The Reincarnation’s effect description is derived from the Reincarnation Seal. Most of the selected worlds are on the brink of destruction, and this world is no exception. However, the timing of destruction varies, and it’s not guaranteed to be successfully destroyed.
In the previous world, if Wang Linchi hadn’t taken one-fifth of both Ye Tian’s and the Fate Devil God’s Protagonist’s Aura, the Erroneous Sin wouldn’t have appeared. Then, with his Plug-in and the help of Ye Tian, the Reincarnator, the Goblins would have left directly, and the game merging with reality wouldn’t have occurred.
The Game System, after completing its mission, would have simply ceased to function and wouldn’t have had the ability to interfere with reality. Without the Game System’s fusion, the subterranean world wouldn’t have manifested in reality either, and the two would have remained separate.
So, theoretically, without him—the troublemaker—and with only Ye Tian, after the Goblins left, it would have followed the classic trope of him retiring to a secluded life with a beauty.
This Son of Destiny is a transmigrator, generously sponsored by another world. So, even if he dies, it shouldn’t matter. The other world can just sponsor another one. I’ll just take this protagonist for now. Wang Linchi proceeded with his plan, feeling completely justified.
He was purely interested in the protagonist’s value, not in stepping on him, showing off, or face-slapping.
I need to get his Protagonist’s Aura first, to prevent any accidents. Wang Linchi didn’t want to deal with a protagonist who had favorable heavenly timing, geographical advantage, and popular support. As long as they were within this world, the protagonist’s Luck would always be more effective than his own.
The protagonist had the world backing him; Wang Linchi only had himself. How could his Luck compare to the other’s?
From the referee to the contestants, everyone was on the protagonist’s side. Wang Linchi never even considered winning fair and square. Therefore, he had to use underhanded means to get the protagonist disqualified.
It’s true that everyone from top to bottom is on your side, but if you can’t even participate in the competition, all those connections are useless.
The Saint Master still can’t come out due to incompatibility, but that’s fine. My own Luck now possesses the Fusion Luck ability. I can take it myself.
Although its efficiency can’t compare to the Saint Master’s Soul Absorption, it’s good enough.
Fusion Luck wasn’t a specialized ability for harvesting Luck, but Wang Linchi had no better method on hand, so making do with it was acceptable.
The drawback was its slow progress. After all, this was a native protagonist; obtaining his Luck wouldn’t be that easy.
Bring me a Game Cabin.
Wang Linchi, using a memory construct, quickly simulated a Game Cabin. He was very familiar with Game Cabins. After some tinkering, he modified the memory construct into a sleep pod.
Then he placed Bai Changsheng inside. As long as his spiritual power didn’t deplete, he could ensure Bai Changsheng would never wake up, only living in a dream-like stupor within the sleep pod.
Unfortunately, it’s a memory construct, not a real one. I’ll have to prepare the Nutrient Solution and sedatives myself.
It was usable, but ultimately a fake. Sedatives made from memory constructs might be fine, but a Nutrient Solution made from a memory construct could lead to real problems.
However, to be safe, it was best if both were real.
Wang Linchi didn’t want to gamble on a small chance of failure. If some miracle occurred and Bai Changsheng was rescued, he would lose his entire investment.
Meanwhile, the two memory constructs quickly settled Liu Ling’er. Now, they just had to wait for the show to begin.
He clearly remembered the Cheng Family members blocking the door of his clinic. If they didn’t pay a price for that, Wang Linchi would have to personally exact revenge.
