Worldwide Awakening: My Soul Kinds Are Lost-Chapter 507: The Sprout of a New System_1

"The Divinity stored in the bloodstream, when arranged properly, could create special effects. Spells? Divine Skills?" Wang Linchi mused, looking at the few Divinity arrangement effects he had obtained from Li Sandog’s body. These were just the basics; there was still room for expansion.

All one needs to do is slay Demon Gods, seize the Divine Power within their bodies, and absorb it. Ultimately, this becomes a Skill. Wang Linchi thought this ability was incredibly useful. Apart from requiring some thought during later developments, it was entirely unnecessary during the initial accumulation phase.

Wang Linchi tried to manifest it using Divine Power but found he couldn’t release it. Lack of a medium? Wang Linchi recalled. This special ability required a medium to be released; it couldn’t simply harness one’s own Mana like Spells.

Li Sandog could release it because his physical constitution was the medium. Being Born Extraordinary, he could do it, but it wouldn’t be as easy for others. A medium was not the only requirement; specific matching conditions were also necessary. Wang Linchi was still exploring these conditions.

Could the new power gained from combining Spirit Masters and Demon Gods be the mainstream of the next era?

I remember Jia Thirty-Three once said that after the Demon God Era is the Talisman Epoch, so could this medium be the Charm itself? The thought suddenly crossed Wang Linchi’s mind. Wang Linchi knew that Nine Extremes possessed some prophetic abilities. The first Nine Extremes, the Emperor of Universe, had already informed the Nine Extremes Sect how to deal with and solve problems in different eras when he created the Nine Extremes Divine Palace.

That was why the Nine Extremes Sect had progressed so smoothly, possessing the guide. However, there was a problem with the guide: the further back in time it went, the more detailed it was. But for the two most recent eras, it was rather brief, as if they couldn’t access information about higher levels. He suspected there were limitations to the prophecies. After all, predicting events tens of thousands of years from Ancient Times was already quite impressive; asking for more detail was perhaps too much to expect.

So, did he create the Talisman Epoch? Wang Linchi mused, looking at Li Sandog; it was highly likely he was correct. But it seems like I noticed it before Nine Extremes. Should I steal his thunder? 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

As Wang Linchi thought about this, he quickly realized: Why should I steal his thunder? I’m not lacking in fame. As for passing it down, it has nothing to do with me. I’m not here to pioneer a path for this world, so why bother with such arduous work?

Since you want to make a name for yourself, then you do it yourself, Wang Linchi decided, immediately giving up on the idea. This matter would make him stand out too much, and he could be targeted. Moreover, the other party aimed to live by slaying gods, which would inevitably make him an enemy of the entire world.

What the hell?! Wang Linchi thought, realizing he might have blundered. Why on earth did I save him? This path would make him an enemy of the world; even a fool would understand that it would inevitably implicate me!

Should I kill him once the research is completed? An idea surfaced in Wang Linchi’s mind. The idea was good, but there was one problem: he didn’t know when the research would be completed. The so-called Charms were one thing, but the unique traits of Nine Extremes were not so easy to research thoroughly. It could take eight or ten years, and that might not even be enough.

This was the most conservative estimate. What if he couldn’t complete the research before the other party died? Then what? And even if the research was completed in eight or ten years and he let the other party go, wouldn’t he himself become like a tyrant who nurtures a threat only to face retaliation later? How would he deal with that? The greatest folly is to abandon an endeavor halfway when the potential rewards still outweigh the costs.

I’ll keep him for now and see what this fellow is all about, Wang Linchi considered. At worst, I’ll just feign death when the time comes. If he really couldn’t handle the situation, he would resort to observing his ’experiment’ from the shadows.

After treating his wounds, Wang Linchi poured a bottle of Nutrient Solution into Li Sandog. He didn’t wake up, so Wang Linchi decided to save himself some trouble. His Nutrient Solution was far more nutritious than any rice paste; it was scientifically formulated and contained all the nutrients a person needed.

The origin of Li Sandog’s fresh injuries was simple: Wang Linchi had to perform some dissection for his research, as he was very interested in this old creature’s physical structure. The Spirit and Soul could, to some extent, also be reflected in the physical body. However, he didn’t dare to conduct too many experiments or research, as it might affect Li Sandog’s development and Growth. If the other party noticed, it would become awkward. Therefore, his daily experiments and research were strictly limited in scope and quantity, never exceeding a set standard.

After a simple cleanup, Wang Linchi returned to the courtyard, lay on the lounge chair, and pondered under the sun. The Saint Master began to handle various chores, such as cleaning, chopping firewood, and cooking. Since the Saint Master was idle anyway, Wang Linchi had him take on the additional role of a nanny. Bodyguard, nanny—it was all the same to him; the roles weren’t too dissimilar. He even started doing patrols at night, effectively taking on the role of a security guard as well.

Wang Linchi opened his eyes; someone was approaching. The Temple Master of the Mysterious Tiger Temple? Wang Linchi sensed the fluctuations of Divine Power and, after further investigation, could perceive a huge, black, humanoid tiger.

’Xuan,’ means black. Since achieving Five Immortals Perfection and his own body transforming into a nascent world, the constraints of the Calamity of the Last Law on him were not as great. The general upper limit was level 21, but he was at level 1,000. Of course, this wasn’t his true power. If he displayed anything higher, he risked attracting the Calamity of the Last Law, and then he would have to fight it. Wang Linchi was currently still incapable of winning against it. The Calamity of the Last Law had a particularly potent effect on all things in the world. Wang Linchi, belonging to a ’world race,’ would face a significant, if not insurmountable, challenge if his body were invaded by the Calamity of the Last Law.

A whistling sound suddenly arose as a massive black tiger leaped over the Dai Temple wall, pouncing viciously toward Wang Linchi. However, an armored Underworld Soldier struck the black tiger’s head with a single punch.

Normally, this shouldn’t have been a major issue. However, the ambient energy levels were currently far too low. The black tiger was not real but a false body donned by the Temple Master of the Mysterious Tiger Temple. Hence, after that single punch, the false tiger form wobbled, and its ’skin’ peeled off, revealing the man beneath. This transformation was merely a facade, relying entirely on its imposing presence to intimidate others.

The man dazedly climbed to his feet, his eyes filled with fear as he looked at Wang Linchi. He had originally thought this was just a small, dilapidated temple. He never expected the occupant’s Divine Arts to be so powerful as to shatter his ’tiger skin divine technique.’ As for bragging about his own power or the might of the Mysterious Tiger God Sovereign behind him, he wouldn’t dare.

He had to consider his surroundings. He was on the other’s territory, where his opponent held an absolute advantage. Besides, he and this Wang Temple Master were not mortal enemies, so there was no need to make things so awkward.

"Wang Temple Master, your Underworld Soldier Passage Method is already on par with the old Temple Master’s!" the Temple Master of the Mysterious Tiger Temple hurried to compliment as he put away his ’tiger skin.’

"Not at all, not at all," Wang Linchi replied, observing the custom of not rebuffing a smiling face. "You must be the Temple Master of the Mysterious Tiger Temple. Your ’tiger skin divine technique’ is also quite extraordinary." Even though the other man was at fault first, he had quickly backed down, so Wang Linchi decided not to pursue the matter.

The Mysterious Tiger Temple was not unique in having multiple Temple Masters. All Demon God Temples operated similarly, with Temple Masters divided into several ranks. This was unlike Dai Temple, which had declined to the point where having even one Temple Master was considered fortunate. According to the classification, there were four ranks, using the A, B, C, and D believer levels Wang Linchi had once established. After all, it was Wang Linchi who had propagated the divine path in this world. What else could they use if not this ’ancestral system’? They certainly couldn’t invent their own.

The visitor was a Class B Temple Master from the Mysterious Tiger Temple, a mid-level manager. "I am unworthy, truly unworthy. I cannot compare to Wang Temple Master," the other man replied humbly. He didn’t believe Wang Linchi was genuinely complimenting him; it was surely just polite rhetoric.

Then, his expression turned serious, and he said, "Wang Temple Master, you may be unaware since you’ve just arrived, but in three days, there will be a temple fair. Representatives from all major deities will attend. We sincerely hope Wang Temple Master will not be late."

"Three days? I may not have the time. It won’t be an issue if I’m absent, will it?" Wang Linchi said, feigning regret. He voiced it as a question, but he had no intention of going.

"This... If it’s convenient, please do try to make a trip," replied the Temple Master of the Mysterious Tiger Temple. Of course, he wouldn’t pry into Wang Linchi’s reasons. He had come to test the waters. If Wang Linchi’s Divine Arts were weak, he would have asserted his dominance. If they were strong, the invitation to the temple fair served as a convenient way to disengage.

"I will try my best. If I can make it, I certainly will," Wang Linchi said, not refusing outright again but politely hinting that the other man should make himself scarce.
