Worldwide Awakening: My Soul Kinds Are Lost-Chapter 501: Three Years, Mount Tai Consecration_1
Three years passed in a flash. With the reputation of being a Class A believer and his possession of the Underworld Soldier Passage Method and the Heavenly Soldier Protection, coupled with other Spirit Glyphs and Divine Arts gained over the years, Yuan Lin established his foundation in the north and finally quelled the entire world, establishing a state named Heng.
During this period, the reputation of Wang Linchi, the Heaven Equivalent Benevolent Holy Emperor, had also reached an ultimate height.
Ninety-nine percent of the world were his believers. Among them, forty percent were Class B believers, and the remainder was equally divided among Class A, Class C, and Class D believers.
For most people, reaching Class B was their limit, and only a very small number would become Class A. Those in Class C and D were the type who only sought the Holy Emperor when they needed something and ignored him otherwise.
"The Mount Tai ennoblement ceremony is about to begin."
As a Class A believer, after establishing the Great Heng Dynasty, Yuan Lin naturally had to ascend the throne. To display his legitimacy, he planned to hold the coronation ceremony on Mount Tai.
The ceremony was planned for the birthday of the Holy Emperor, indicating his sincere intent.
After this, Wang Linchi would harvest a large amount of faith once again.
Ever since the first birthday of the Holy Emperor, Wang Linchi had reached the third stage of his progression in the History of Time, Mortal Liberation, further enhancing his status as the Heaven Equivalent Benevolent Holy Emperor.
Besides the divinities of birth and death, he also evolved new sub-divinities such as the transition from old to new, Stabilize the Country and Secure the People, Extend Life and Long Life Becoming Immortal, official ranks and social standing, the Time of Life and Death, and the Ghost’s Rule, among a series of other brand-new lesser divinities.
In short, more and more people were placing their hopes on him, with these new powers gradually evolving from his original divinities of life and death.
He was even able to fulfill requests like prayers for sons and daughters. Each year, he even provided treatment for infertile Class B believers.
Because of him, Mount Tai had become a place of prosperity and was revered as the Ancestor of All Mountains. It was even rumored that the Sun rose from here, making it the foremost mountain in the east, commonly known as Dongyue.
Watching this scene, Wang Linchi was stunned. If this trend continues, wouldn’t I become a creator deity? Okay, this ridiculous idea has indeed emerged; it’s just that I can’t bear to look at it.
"...Confer the title of Dongyue Tianqi Emperor of Life and Benevolence... appoint as the ruler of three hundred and sixty-five gods... take control of the Seventy-two Divisions of the Netherworld..."
After Yuan Lin’s coronation, he began to add many official titles to Wang Linchi. These would be the most widespread.
Following this, temples would be constructed for Wang Linchi. At the very least, each city would require a Dai Temple. This was no small project.
Seeing this, Wang Linchi was startled. Are you really that bold? Not to mention the difficulty of construction, this expenditure alone is enough to cripple the Great Heng Dynasty. We just finished the End of the Dynasty event, and everyone is penniless. Yet here you are, initiating such a massive project. It’s a clear drain on the people and resources. Fine, if you like it, that’s enough. Anyway, I don’t really care anymore. At this point, Wang Linchi wasn’t very concerned about incense and faith.
The Netherworld had been established; next would be the mortal realm.
He considered constructing it all at once, but he lacked the capability.
A world embryo’s capacity is limited. He had to transition from a Mortal Liberation Immortal to a Ghost Immortal. At the Ghost Immortal stage, he would no longer be restricted by faith offerings. At most, they could serve as small snacks; anything more would be of no use to him.
It was just that the path to becoming a Ghost Immortal was still quite distant.
However, that’s not a problem. Soon I will devour the Dajing civilization, which will be enough for me to take this step. I might even have a surplus.
It was just his first time "eating" a civilization, so he was a bit excited.
How do I act like this isn’t my first time devouring a civilization? Online, waiting, urgent!
The reason for his urgency was that the neighboring Nine Extremes Divine Palace had already taken action. They had activated the Absolute Heaven-Linking Array, and the entire world was enveloped by it.
An invisible vortex covered the world. Apart from Wang Linchi, no one else had noticed it.
However, Wang Linchi wasn’t idle. Although he hadn’t crawled out from the coffin under Mount Tai, he had connected his golden body, the Saint Master, to the Absolute Heaven-Linking Array as a conduit.
I can’t very well use myself, can I? That would be too awkward. I actually wanted to use my game character, but unfortunately, the game character is also involved in activating the Absolute Heaven-Linking Array and can’t be spared. So, I can only make do with the Saint Master for now. It’s not a big deal anyway.
Civilization began to be eroded, sacrificed, and Wang Linchi could feel the spiritual nourishment being transferred to him from the Saint Master.
Calling it nourishment isn’t quite right; it actually tastes amazing. When it’s struggling, it tastes a bit like spicy strips. During its development, it’s like Buddha Jumps Over the Wall. In an era of a fatuous ruler, it’s somewhat like jelly, sweet and sour.
With every bite Wang Linchi devoured, he transformed it into his own Essence, Qi, and Spirit. As his Essence, Qi, and Spirit improved, his world embryo also began to develop, and naturally, its physical form began to expand.
Luckily, he discovered this in time and immediately began to contract himself. Otherwise, if he allowed this human-shaped Colorful Stone to grow unrestricted, it would not only burst his coffin but might even become too large for Mount Tai itself to contain.
His race was World; he wasn’t some ordinary species. Naturally, his size couldn’t be small.
Something’s not right. I need to find a new place to live, or there will definitely be problems. Wang Linchi knew this was not a long-term solution. Even if he continued to contract himself, once he began to grow later, he would be at least as large as Mount Tai.
Unless I can find a container with spatial properties. But where can I find such a container in this End of the Dharma Era?
Special spaces like the ritual space and the Imperial Examination Space had long been shattered due to the intensifying Calamity of the Last Law.
The god realm wasn’t an option either. Only Wang Linchi could materialize completely; other god realms were illusory and required believers to invoke their presence.
If nothing else works, I’ll just bury myself deeper under Mount Tai, Wang Linchi thought, concluding his search was futile. He might as well stay beneath Mount Tai.
No sooner said than done, he quickly climbed out of the coffin. His tomb, built in the imperial style, was massive, complete with burial objects and mechanisms.
"They used such long nails for this thing. Were they afraid I’d crawl out or something?" Wang Linchi muttered, then climbed out of the coffin.
He did not leave his tomb but started digging straight down.
Thank goodness I’m powerful now and don’t need to dig by hand. Otherwise, I’d have to bring the Saint Master back to do it.
「Meanwhile」
As the Dajing civilization was devoured by him, all traces belonging to Dajing were disappearing bit by bit, yet others remained completely unaware.
"URGH!"
This isn’t good. There seems to be too much undigested civilization fluid. Wang Linchi suddenly discovered that his Colorful Stone body was filled with a large amount of undigested "civilization liquid."
This liquid kept expanding.
Having indigestion right now is a bit problematic.
Wang Linchi felt he was rather unlucky. He hadn’t anticipated he wouldn’t have room for all this.
Wait a minute. In the mere two hundred years of the Dajing era, I’ve already devoured all the fatuous rulers. Where did this extra come from? The Jing Dynasty is just small fry; how could it possibly be too much for me to handle? Wang Linchi reacted instantly.
Damn it! The civilizations of the previous six dynasties are still here! They weren’t transported by the Absolute Heaven-Linking Array to be digested by the Calamity of the Last Law! Wang Linchi immediately understood.
For a moment, he was utterly flabbergasted. What on earth is going on? I thought it was a roasted suckling pig at most, but now it’s turned out to be a whole roasted blue whale!
The brief lifespan of the Dajing Dynasty was simply incomparable to that of the previous six dynasties. Especially in this world, due to the Calamity of the Last Law, there was a peculiar pattern: the older something was, the more powerful it became.
If this is true, then by devouring all of this, my Five Immortals Perfection could directly allow me to reach the level of a second-tier civilization!
Wang Linchi felt no fear at all; instead, he was thrilled. This was like being handed a pillow just as he was getting sleepy; his luck was truly considerate.
The only downside is that it might take a little longer. With the establishment of the Three Realms of Heaven, Earth, and Humanity, I can become a complete world! Wang Linchi naturally wanted more.
The problem now is that the second stage of civilization in my History of Time hasn’t been developed yet. I’ll likely get stuck at the Chronos Five Immortals level.
Wang Linchi had never imagined he could obtain so much civilization as nourishment.
Originally, he had only coveted the nourishment from the Dajing civilization; he hadn’t dared to hope for more. But then, such a huge surprise had been delivered to him.
