Worldwide Awakening: My Soul Kinds Are Lost-Chapter 510: Beat Them Up, Must Give All You’ve Got! _1
"Tsk, these folks sure are loaded. I really didn’t expect to loot all these things," Wang Linchi couldn’t help but marvel.
In his eyes, the looted items were just a bunch of useless things, but in this era, they were all first-class treasures.
For instance, he found a Spiritual Treasure from the Spiritualist Period—a seed.
By now, it probably couldn’t be called a Spiritual Treasure anymore due to significant spiritual losses from environmental factors and mutations caused by Divine Power.
Wang Linchi wasn’t even sure if this thing could be successfully grown.
However, he casually planted it in the front yard of the Dai Temple, occasionally irrigating it with some Divine Power.
The other items were also quite good, all containing the Divine Power of those Demon Gods, presumably intended for use as special tools.
The only puzzling thing was why they were all using the Amulets he had given to his followers. Did they not make their own, choosing instead to use what others had leftover?
Of course, it was also possible that the Temple Masters were unable to create items capable of carrying Divine Power and had to use Wang Linchi’s Amulets.
Fortunately, Wang Linchi didn’t mind. After all, they had handed over their wealth, lives, and vulnerabilities to him. If he did mind, wouldn’t it make him seem ungrateful?
Amulets infused with Divine Power might be a defensive measure in the hands of Temple Masters, but in Wang Linchi’s hands... once he analyzed the Divine Power within, remotely killing them would be child’s play, let alone controlling these Demon Gods.
But Wang Linchi didn’t really want to do that. The greatest value of the Demon Gods was to endow the Great Heng civilization with unique characteristics, providing Wang Linchi with more fodder when he Devoured them.
So, he was quite open-minded and didn’t particularly desire to control the Demon Gods.
There wasn’t much difference between gulping something down in one go and chewing it slowly. Wang Linchi favored the former, mainly because the Demon Gods truly couldn’t compare to a civilization and were better off merely embellishing it.
"Toss them on the offering table. Let’s consider them tribute," Wang Linchi mumbled, not particularly concerned. "Offering tribute to oneself does sound a bit odd."
After tossing the items aside, he continued his research on Li Sandog.
Upon returning, he had removed Li Sandog from the nutrient tank, allowing him to recover gradually to prevent him from sensing anything unusual.
The follow-up research also went smoothly, yielding significant gains from studying Li Sandog.
His special bloodline constitution, in particular, provided substantial inspiration for Wang Linchi, such as for the ’skin’ of his game character.
His game character, conceived as a ’human skin’ construct, possessed flesh and bones, meridians, and a brain, but it still lacked an outer skin, internal organs, blood, and the like. However, using the Way of Talisman to create the skin should not be a problem.
For his main body, all these were trivial. After he became a world, various Rules and laws existed within him, so he didn’t need these things at all.
However, this ’human skin’ construct was different. Its main characteristic was stinginess; it was unwilling to use its own resources and always wanted to scrounge from external sources.
Of course, he also needed this Fu Lu System as fodder. Absorbing it would enhance the quality of his History of Time.
Otherwise, why would he bother with all this? It was so troublesome. He only did it because of the benefits.
Moreover, this could help him better understand Nine Extremes. If he couldn’t even grasp the extraordinary aspects of his opponent, how could he research their deeper secrets?
He had to take things step-by-step and not aim too high from the start.
If he wanted to ascend to the heavens in a single leap, he first had to be down-to-earth, building his foundation until it reached the sky. Only then could he take that step to climb to the Nine Heavens.
Li Sandog slowly opened his eyes, realizing his body seemed to have changed.
Have I grown this fast? He was somewhat puzzled, feeling as though he’d skipped a large chunk of time.
However, upon seeing Wang Linchi, his doubts lessened. He probably felt time was passing quickly because he was currently an infant.
The last time he simulated, he had started as an adolescent, so he hadn’t experienced this sensation.
I wonder what time it is. I need to grow up as quickly as possible for what comes next... Hmm, I’m a bit sleepy. It seems like all I do is eat, sleep, and eat again. Feeling a wave of drowsiness after finishing a bowl of rice paste, Li Sandog didn’t resist. It was normal for babies to be sleepy.
His brain was very active just now, as if he was thinking about something? Wang Linchi mused. Too bad. The other person has some kind of shielding or isolation, which prevents me from reading his thoughts. Wang Linchi could perform mind-reading now, yet he couldn’t read Li Sandog’s thoughts.
The impression Wang Linchi had was that Li Sandog seemed like an empty shell, with no discernible thoughts.
However, this was a living person; how could he be an empty shell? Therefore, Wang Linchi could only attribute this anomaly to the individual’s uniqueness.
Is it a projection or an avatar controlled across realms? Wang Linchi considered two main possibilities.
So, by utilizing this generation’s Nine Extremes, can I locate the other Nine Extremes, or the true Nine Extremes?
He did not believe that the current ’Li Sandog’ was the true Nine Extremes. If the other party had truly undergone reincarnation, or even if it was a powerful expert who had possessed a body, they wouldn’t have been detected so easily, regardless of ’Li Sandog’s’ special bloodline constitution.
However, this special quality was only special relative to ordinary people. For an entity like Nine Extremes, it really wasn’t much.
Even Wang Linchi wasn’t too bothered by it, merely seeing it as an aid in his research into Nine Extremes.
So, either it can’t be controlled, or there are other ulterior motives. Wang Linchi arrived at his own conclusion.
However, conclusions aside, Wang Linchi still needed to continue his investigation. Without empirical evidence, any speculation would remain mere guesswork.
As dusk fell, Wang Linchi tidied up and settled Li Sandog. Just as he was preparing to summarize the day’s findings, he sensed that one of his few Dai Temples had been destroyed.
The old Temple Master died of illness, the young one I was training returned to secular life and left, and the Dai Temple was also demolished... What can I even say about this? Wang Linchi was momentarily speechless.
He could save it, but there was no point in doing so.
It was a remnant of a bygone era. Wang Linchi had no intention of restoring it, nor did he plan to intervene personally.
If he wished, with his own power, he could easily crush any opposition, but that would be meaningless.
The Dai Temple was a product of the late Jing and early Heng period, not the Dai Temple of the current, declining Heng Dynasty.
What’s past is past; there’s no need to force things.
However, it seems someone has been targeting the Dai Temple from the shadows. Otherwise, it couldn’t be such a coincidence. Wang Linchi thought of his own situation and the Dai Temple, whose line of incense offerings had been severed.
This person was not from the Nine Extremes Sect. They didn’t have that much leisure, as their current task was to overthrow the Heng Dynasty—a far more difficult endeavor than targeting the Dai Temple.
They were spreading their operations everywhere, laying plans in various locations, just waiting for chaos to erupt. Then, they would collectively disappear back to the Nine Extremes Divine Palace to recuperate. Once a new dynasty was established, they would activate the Absolute Heaven-Linking Array to sever all ties with the previous dynasty, infiltrate the Royal Family again, and restart their cycle.
So, the one targeting him was likely a Demon God—one who had lived for a very long time and witnessed the power of the Dai Temple System; otherwise, they wouldn’t try to wipe it out so completely.
「Inside the Mysterious Tiger Temple」
A Class A Temple Master, previously extorted by Wang Linchi, knelt before the statue of a tiger-headed, human-bodied Demon God, muttering prayers.
He was listening to the roars of the Mysterious Tiger God Sovereign.
He needed to interpret the Mysterious Tiger God Sovereign’s will from these roars. Demon Gods, naturally, did not speak human language, but rather Demon Language and God’s Words. Each Demon God’s version of Demon Language and God’s Words was unique; for instance, the Mysterious Tiger God Sovereign conveyed His divine decrees through tiger roars.
"Yes, yes, yes, Sovereign God, rest assured, I will complete the task!" The Temple Master nodded and bowed continuously, like a yes-man.
Only after about half an hour was he able to fully interpret the divine decrees.
When he stood up, his face was pale. Having directly faced the Demon God’s roars for so long, he was naturally struggling to hold up.
Taking down the Dai Temple... is this something we can even do? At least grant us some Divine Arts! The Underworld Soldiers summoned by their Underworld Soldier Passage Method can defeat us with ease. The Temple Master grumbled internally.
His faith in the Mysterious Tiger God Sovereign dropped a notch, but it hadn’t fallen below its current level.
We just have to find a way to join forces with other temples. If that doesn’t work, we can even team up with temples from other cities. The Temple Master knew that relying solely on his Mysterious Tiger Temple, they would certainly be unable to accomplish this task.
It wasn’t as if they hadn’t tried before. Whether through probing attacks or direct confrontations, they had always been miserably defeated.
