Worldwide Awakening: My Soul Kinds Are Lost-Chapter 503: Seven Dynasties in the Stomach, Five Immortals Perfection_1
"What happened to my grand Dai Temple system?"
"I was the Dongyue Tianqi Emperor of Life and Benevolence, right? How did I become the Lord of Mount Tai?"
"Why did my game character level drop again?"
Wang Linchi was a bit confused when he woke up.
He had been digesting the civilization sustenance of seven different dynasties underground in Mount Tai and hadn’t paid any attention to the outside world. Most of his memory constructs had been retrieved as well.
His game character had been hiding among the Nine Extremes Sect followers and had managed to infiltrate the Royal Family alongside them.
By the time he had finished digesting, over six hundred years had passed.
People like Yuan Lin, Zhang Lin, and Li Zheng had been dead for more than five hundred years. The grass on their graves was... actually, there wasn’t much, since someone had been helping to weed it.
But then he looked again and saw that his lush leek field had been ruined by a group of miscreants who had popped up from who knows where.
In the faith network, he had no Class A believers left. Class B ones were sparse, less than ten in total. As for the Class C and D ones, there were slightly more, but still not many.
Wang Linchi quickly pulled up his game character’s records. While he was digesting, he had embedded the personality and memory of Jia 33 into his game character. The deception was flawless, and no one had discovered it.
After a simple glance over the records, he was utterly shocked.
Holy crap, what kind of ridiculous idea was this? Just because of this tiny issue, they actually created this absurd situation where imperial power was shared with the Great Families. No, even sharing the world with the Great Families wasn’t as disastrous as what they managed to do; at least the Great Families wouldn’t have literally eaten people. Wang Linchi found it truly remarkable that Yuan Lin could have produced a descendant capable of squandering their entire legacy.
That Heng Shizong was indeed formidable. He had successfully used the Demon Gods to challenge and suppress the faith in the Dai Temple. However, he never considered the consequences of the growth of the Demon God System.
By Heng Shizong’s later years, he himself could no longer control the Demon God System; the Demon Gods had already begun to grow powerful and further encroach upon the Court.
Truth be told, this situation arose because Shizong lived too long. Had he died young, it wouldn’t have developed this way, as there were many opportunities during that time to control the Demon God faith system. However, he ignored all of them in pursuit of balance within his imperial political machinations, and so the situation ended up this way.
Luckily, I’ve achieved the position of a celestial immortal. Otherwise, I really would have been doomed by you. Wang Linchi was now at the stage of Five Immortals Perfection, a celestial immortal.
He could be called an immortal of times and ages. His divine rank as the Dongyue Tianqi Emperor of Life and Benevolence had also become a part of this, no longer restricted by incense and faith, so its decline didn’t matter.
Moreover, he could vaguely sense that he himself could contend with the Calamity of the Last Law.
If they were to actually fight, the odds would be about seventy-thirty. He had a seventy percent chance of not being killed by the End of Dharma, and a thirty percent chance of being severely wounded.
This was merely contending, not to say he could defeat the Calamity of the Last Law.
Even this already mature world couldn’t resist it; how could Wang Linchi’s world, which had just reached maturity, possibly win? That would be too much of a fantasy.
Currently, within his body, the Three Realms were complete. The only flaw was a certain rigidity. Although he had numerous memory constructs assisting him, it still fell short.
He needed his Heaven, Earth, and Mankind Realms to form a complete cycle and generate a corresponding civilization. Only then could he advance to the second stage of the History of Time—civilization.
At present, this was still quite difficult; at least in the short term, he couldn’t create a civilization.
In other words, he needed a little, insignificant assistance.
For example, the help of this Great Heng Dynasty, with its six-hundred-year reign, and this group of miscreants who had stolen his leek field.
If it were at the founding of Great Heng, he might not have been able to make such a decision. Whether it was Yuan Lin or others, they had all helped him greatly.
The act of killing benefactors was still somewhat unsettling.
If Great Heng were still offering tribute to him, the Dongyue Tianqi Emperor of Life and Benevolence, and allowing the Dai Temple to flourish, Wang Linchi wouldn’t have the heart to act. After all, six hundred years of such tribute deserved recognition, if not for merit, then at least for the effort.
Unfortunately, his Dai Temple had been in decline for far too long.
As for some Heng Emperor trying to save it... well, he didn’t succeed, did he? If he had actually succeeded, Wang Linchi would have acknowledged his efforts.
Since none of that happened, Wang Linchi couldn’t be blamed for turning his back on them.
Back then, although Yuan Lin was a Hidden Dragon, Wang Linchi hadn’t obtained his support for nothing; he had invested heavily. Therefore, theoretically speaking, Wang Linchi held original shares in Great Heng.
And then there’s the Calamity of the Last Law; over these years, the level cap has actually dropped to only 21.
If it continues to drop like this, isn’t the destruction of the world imminent? Wang Linchi couldn’t help but ponder this.
Also, it must be nearing the End of the Dynasty again, right?
Wang Linchi thought of the previous Dajing. Once the level cap dropped by another Realm, this group of Nine Extremes Sect followers would begin to move against Great Heng.
Thinking about it this way, doesn’t that mean this generation’s Nine Extremes is about to emerge again? Originally, he was a bit disinterested, but now he felt a surge of excitement. This was the Nine Extremes he was considering! Once captured, he wouldn’t ask for much—just to study him from afar for thirty or fifty years. He might just be able to uncover his secrets.
For instance, the Absolute Heaven-Linking Array was already completely under his control.
Henceforth, even without the help of the Nine Extremes Sect followers, he could open and close it himself.
As for the Nine Extremes Divine Palace, it had actually already fallen into the hands of his game character. However, the game character hadn’t interfered much.
For him, taking it was enough; he couldn’t act recklessly until he captured the Nine Extremes.
He understood the principle of "to catch bandits, first catch the king." What was the use of capturing a bunch of Transformed Humans who were no different from tools?
But what about Mount Tai and the Dai Temple? How should I arrange things for them? Wang Linchi felt this matter was a bit tricky.
Destroying them was out of the question. As for Wang Linchi taking care of them, that was even less likely; he simply had no inclination to do so.
Moreover, the Dai Temple now only had a few stragglers left. Across the entire Great Heng, you couldn’t even find five Dai Temples.
Only the ancestral court on Mount Tai was slightly better off, but its incense and faith were also failing. Its once magnificent and resplendent appearance had become dilapidated. Some places couldn’t even be repaired due to a lack of funds.
For the incense to have dwindled to this extent was truly too sorrowful.
Six hundred years... so much has changed. If Yuan Lin saw this, he would probably feel sorrowful too. Wang Linchi sighed.
This Mount Tai Temple had undergone multiple renovations during Yuan Lin’s lifetime, making it grand in scale. Now, although not in complete ruins, it was overgrown with weeds.
Let’s find the Nine Extremes first. I’ll deal with the Dai Temple later. Anyway, it can’t be completely severed immediately. If it really comes to it, once everyone is dead, I’ll move Mount Tai, along with the Dai Temple, into my body. Wang Linchi felt that the Dai Temple was truly beyond saving.
The main reason was that incense and faith were of little use to the current Wang Linchi, so he hadn’t thought of expending effort to save it.
Besides, if he did save it, he would have to continue worrying about it.
It would be better to wait for the Dai Temple’s faith to die out completely, then he could take it away. That would be best.
But the world is so vast, where do I find the Nine Extremes...? Wang Linchi felt somewhat helpless.
Each generation of the Nine Extremes had a different identity, appearance, and name. Some were born, so to speak, in Rome, while others were born as mere cattle and horses.
But whether they started in Rome or as cattle and horses, they invariably achieved success, gaining unparalleled fame and strength in their era.
The drawback was also obvious: if the Nine Extremes of this era hadn’t risen yet and was still in a state of accumulating strength, he wouldn’t be able to find him even if he tried.
The Nine Extremes Sect followers also couldn’t find the Nine Extremes in this state; they could only find him after he had risen.
I can only find a place to settle down first, then keep a close watch on the Nine Extremes Sect followers and wait for news from them.
Wang Linchi wasn’t insistent. Anyway, he had his game character mixed in with the Nine Extremes Sect followers, so he didn’t need to worry about missing any news.
I also need to take the Saint Master away. That fellow has been an idol in the Mount Tai Temple for over six hundred years. It’s finally time for him to retire.
But the Saint Master’s strength seems a bit redundant for me now.
The current Saint Master couldn’t defeat Wang Linchi at all, couldn’t even get close to him.
Wait a minute, my game character needs to come back too. Otherwise, I can’t go out without a human skin... Wang Linchi slapped his stone head. He was currently a large, distorted mass of Colorful Stone, his race being ’world’. He urgently needed a human skin for camouflage.
I’ll have a memory construct infiltrate the Nine Extremes Sect followers, the Saint Master can come back as a bodyguard, and my game character can serve as my human skin.
