Worldwide Awakening: My Soul Kinds Are Lost-Chapter 572: The Name of Nine Extremes, The Time When Two Realms Oppose Each Other _1

"Sorry, I wasn't paying attention just now." As Bai Xuan raised his head, he bumped into a young man who looked somehow familiar.

He was indeed in a bit of a hurry today, preoccupied with his thoughts as he rushed along.

Today, he had to take the Heroic Spirit assessment. By leveraging the Unparalleled Heroic Spirit, Heavenly Talisman Daoist Zhang Dao, he had quickly become a rising star in the academy and garnered widespread attention. Of course, the ensuing troubles weren't worth mentioning, as they were not significant.

As long as he passed today's Heroic Spirit assessment, he would be able to acquire another Summoning Medium, which he could then use for another simulation.

His simulator could do more than just simulations. It also had features such as allocating attribute points and performing deductions, though these required corresponding points.

To gain points, one had to complete tasks issued by the simulator, such as collecting beauties, engaging in combat, or completing specific events. Furthermore, the first-place winner in this Heroic Spirit assessment would not only receive high-level rewards from the Federation but also corresponding rewards from the simulator.

Luckily, among his peers, no one could compete with him.

"It's okay. Are you alright? Be careful when walking; don't walk with your head down," the youth spoke.

Bai Xuan found the voice familiar too, but he didn't have time to dwell on it now. Instead, he responded, "I have some matters to attend to; I must take my leave first."

With that, he quickly departed.

Tsk, acquaintance upon acquaintance, what kind of situation is this?

The youth was none other than Wang Linchi, who had come from another world. After successfully confirming that this world was stable, he... first devoured its civilization.

Since he was leaving, he naturally had to harvest his original leek fields first; leaving them would be a waste.

Moreover, what he did this time was extremely ruthless. He directly uprooted everything, making it highly probable that no civilization would develop there subsequently.

In fact, one might have, but the Calamity of the Last Law didn't allow it.

What was even more important was that Wang Linchi had discovered something—the Calamity of the Last Law had already taken root in this world.

The reason was simple: this world was absorbing the world opposite it. During this devouring process, it had naturally brought over the virus known as the Calamity of the Last Law.

Bai Changsheng was likely the vaccine sent over, but he was unfortunately ruined by Wang Linchi.

As Bai Changsheng's descendant, Bai Xuan was also given corresponding responsibilities. The difference was that Bai Changsheng had been sent as a vaccine to the other world; after his failure, Bai Xuan became the vaccine for this world.

The world of Heroic Spirits... how interesting. Wang Linchi was also very interested. The energy level of this world was actually very high, at least comparable to the game world.

Moreover, its rules were extremely similar to those of the End of Law World. Wang Linchi didn't even need to adapt, and he could wield even more of his powers.

Next was the issue of time. The timelines of the two worlds were opposite. Therefore, when Bai Xuan's projection became embodied, he was moving against the current of history, starting from the era of the End of Dharma and heading towards the Ancient Times.

Wang Linchi, on the other hand, was following the flow of time, living through it bit by bit.

So, for now, Bai Xuan only possessed the Heroic Spirit, Heavenly Talisman Daoist. He hadn't even come into contact with God-Slaying True Monarch Li Qinglian yet. It seemed that this time, he would gain the Summoning Medium for God-Slaying True Monarch Li Qinglian.

No wonder he's called Nine Extremes. He possessed nine Heroic Spirits of Unparalleled Quality. Or could it be because he brought an end to nine dynasties? At this moment, Wang Linchi finally understood the meaning of Nine Extremes.

Heroic Spirits had varying qualities. The highest was Unparalleled Quality, followed by Center of Attention, Hard to Come By, One in a Hundred, Pure Jade, and finally, Ordinary Person.

Each person could acquire up to nine Heroic Spirits; after that, they would reach their soul's limit.

Therefore, after arriving in this world, the first thing Wang Linchi wanted to know was whether he himself could be summoned as a Heroic Spirit.

For instance, figures like King Heaven Equivalent, Dongyue Emperor, the Holy Emperor, the Lord of Mount Tai, or the Ancestor of Talisman Dao?

Of course, it was possible that all these identities could count as just one Heroic Spirit. But if he could really summon them, it would be quite interesting.

To say the least, he was curious to see how similar such a summoned Heroic Spirit would be to his true self.

The only thing stopping him now was that his own soul seemed incapable of summoning a Heroic Spirit.

To obtain a Heroic Spirit, one first needed to achieve resonance. The people of this world had a corresponding structure in their souls that enabled this, so Wang Linchi needed one as well.

However, there was an awkward situation: he currently didn't possess anything resembling a soul.

Not only did he lack internal organs and bones, he didn't even have a soul. After all, his entire being was a world, a single entity with no such differentiation, so he was unable to take that path.

It wasn't that there was absolutely no way; it would just be slightly troublesome.

"I must say, this world is indeed audacious, even braver than the Great View of old," he mused.

"Back in Great View, the most they did was pack surrounding grave-mound worlds into their Secret Realms. This world, on the other hand, is snatching resources directly from the jaws of other worlds."

"No wonder the Calamity of the Last Law managed to take root here; this ability to plunder was definitely thanks to Bai Xuan and his Golden Finger."

Wang Linchi had naturally sensed the Golden Finger that Bai Xuan possessed. For Bai Xuan, this came with both good news and bad news.

The good news was that this Golden Finger came with no future complications, so he needn't worry about any conspiracies or schemes. The bad news, however, was that it was entirely bestowed by this world, and everything gained through it would eventually have to be repaid.

Furthermore, there was a high probability that he would be trapped forever within the framework of the Golden Finger and this world, confined to the Heroic Spirit System.

This system seemed somewhat malformed. Heroic Spirits were the primary force, while humans played a secondary role. Essentially, humans themselves didn't possess much combat power; to attain Extraordinary Powers, they could only obtain them from Heroic Spirits.

Compared to Heroic Spirits, humans seemed more like anchors for them. Of course, this pointed to a fundamental issue with the system. In reality, Heroic Spirits generally followed the orders of their Summoners, and instances of betrayal were rare.

As for Heroic Spirits, they were akin to a vaccine, albeit a different type when compared to Bai Xuan's vaccine.

The former—the general Heroic Spirits—served as a force for defense against danger and for offensive pillaging, while Bai Xuan was a direct cure for the Calamity of the Last Law. The two could not be compared on the same level: one addressed the symptoms, while the other targeted the root cause.

Regardless, Wang Linchi didn't care whether he was addressing symptoms or the root cause. He would not act against Bai Xuan at this stage, nor would he even make contact, to avoid interfering with future developments.

But once he became one of the Nine Extremes, he would take action immediately, seizing all the results.

He was extremely interested in Bai Xuan's Golden Finger. He was certain it combined the abilities of tampering and projection. If he possessed this power, his History of Time would truly gain the capacity to rewrite history.

At that time, he would be able to arrange his own script, even his identity, with much greater ease. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

However, more than these conveniences, Wang Linchi wanted to use this ability as a component for his civilization computer.

After devouring all civilizations of the End of Law World, his original recording ability had transformed into a civilizational power. This allowed all memory imprints to become his kin, no longer mere clusters of memories with spiritual power, but complete life forms.

At the moment, he had entered the primary stage, beginning to explore the development of civilization.

This time, under his influence, development progressed by leaps and bounds, and the civilization computer began to take its initial shape.

He had sufficient provisions; all that was left was to wait for time to do its work. Lending civilization to the ages, and life to time itself—he had now stepped from the epoch of time into the epoch of civilization. Naturally, what he needed most now was more time.

Unfortunately, he didn't have much control over time. Although he could adjust the temporal flow within his own world, such adjustments required corresponding resources. He was a world, yes, but not omniscient or omnipotent; he was still bound by energy constraints.

Worlds, too, could naturally die. If they were truly invincible, there wouldn't be so many on the brink of destruction.

Besides, what Wang Linchi valued most about this world was its collection of Transcendental Systems. It possessed all such systems from nine different dynastic eras. Wang Linchi planned to collect them all, using them as provisions to fuel his own burgeoning civilization and accelerate the development of his civilization computer.

Heroic Spirits retained their own memories, including those of the Calamity of the Last Law. Therefore, in this Heroic Spirit World, counting the Heroic Spirits themselves, there were a total of ten distinct Transcendental Systems.

However, of the nine Transcendental Systems originating from the End of Law World, most Summoners could not cultivate or utilize them; only Heroic Spirits could do so perfectly. The Extraordinary Powers that Summoners *could* learn and practice were compiled into texts known as Cultivation Techniques.

The total number of such Cultivation Techniques was actually not large. For instance, the systems of the Jing, Heng, and Xuan Dynasties were unsuitable for Summoners and could not be learned by them, so no corresponding Cultivation Techniques existed for these.

No, that wasn't entirely accurate; some did exist. The Nine Revolutions Inner Pellet Technique, for example, was a product from the end of the Xuan Dynasty, but Bai Xuan had not passed it on to others.

The reason for the two distinct signal sources was straightforward: one was the Heroic Spirit, Heavenly Talisman Daoist, and the other was Bai Xuan, who had inherited abilities from him. The strong signal originated from the Heroic Spirit, while the weaker one came from Bai Xuan himself.
