Worldwide Awakening: My Soul Kinds Are Lost

「Three months passed in a blink of an eye.」 By spending a large number of resources, Wang Linchi successfully broke through to the Mountain Copper Level.

The upper limit of the Mountain Copper Level has indeed become one million. This means if I persist, I'll need a spiritual power figure composed of seven ones for the Mithril Level to reach a Mental Power Capacity Limit of ten million...

Wang Linchi felt a bit panicky. Is this something a normal person can achieve?

As for the Book of Records, its effects had become very notable due to another evolution of the Soul Secret Technique. It had changed from mere video playback to a first-person VR experience. When viewing memories, he could immerse himself more deeply into the main perspective within the memory.

He believed that if this thing kept evolving, its Potential seemed quite significant.

Though it's still pretty useless right now.

At the Mountain Copper Level, my total spiritual power is a 'six-six-six' figure... that's just too damn awesome!

His basic spiritual power was 111,111. The Nine Revolutions Golden Core replicated this once more. Then, the 200% amplification from the Soul Kind·Spirit Corridor—applied to the combined base of his original spiritual power and the Golden Core's replication—directly boosted his spiritual power to 666,666. It was an incredible six-fold increase!

I just don't know if the Mountain Copper Level Origin Nourishing Secret Skill can handle it. After all, if it can't, and I continue to increase my spiritual power, it will wreck my body.

An increase in spiritual power could indeed drive a corresponding increase in physical strength, but only if the gap wasn't too large. The disparity between Wang Linchi's Spirit and Physique was so great that he had no choice but to forcefully stop the automatic Hang Up Soul Forging Method and switch to Hanging Up his secret techniques instead.

The Taoist Embryo and Original Infant Spirit Aspect Secret Technique, the Clean Spirit Yin God Training Body Skill, and the Positive Thought Yang God Origin Nourishing Secret Skill.

All three secret techniques were set to Hang Up simultaneously, enhancing his Soul Resemblance, the intensity of his spiritual power, and the strength of his Physique.

Unlike other Mountain Copper Level Origin Nourishing Secret Skills, which primarily focused on body refining and tempering, Wang Linchi's method used spiritual power to temper his Physique and drive its growth. It was akin to an established expert guiding a novice. The main goal was to play to his strengths. After all, his spiritual power was truly formidable. If he were to follow a normal Origin Nourishing Secret Skill, it would merely require significant resources and a lot of grinding. To enhance the Physique, one naturally needed to eat well and drink well, then perform corresponding postures to aid digestion and exercise, thereby increasing strength.

Of course, the Soul Forging Method also contained elements for this, albeit an incomplete version. Rigorous training with it could achieve the standard, but it would lead to a deficiency in vitality and blood, and cause latent internal injuries. Otherwise, what would be the point of an additional Origin Nourishing Secret Skill?

Wang Linchi was different. He tempered his Physique with his spiritual power, essentially consuming spiritual power to enhance his Physique. This significantly reduced his need for resources, and he also didn't need to perform various postures to aid digestion and exercise. This also allowed him to consume some spiritual power, alleviating the burden on his body. Given his current physical condition, 666,666 spiritual power was already his limit. He needed to achieve Fulfillment in these three secret techniques before he could resume practicing the Soul Forging Method. More importantly, this would pave the way for the Mithril Level. After all, the Forging Secret Technique and the Origin Nourishing Secret Skill were transitional arts.

The Taoist Embryo and Original Infant Spirit Aspect Secret Technique is manageable; the Soul Shadow·Book of Records is inherently lacking, so it reaches Fulfillment quickly. However, the Clean Spirit Yin God Training Body Skill and the Positive Thought Yang God Origin Nourishing Secret Skill are difficult. It will be impossible to achieve Fulfillment in them without at least a year and a half.

The Clean Spirit Yin God technique enhances spiritual power intensity. Given the sheer volume of my spiritual power, improving the quality of all of it won't be easy. The Positive Thought Yang God technique is even tougher; while my spiritual power intensity has some foundation, my Physique strength is starting from scratch.

If only I had Proficiency and attribute points to allocate. In my current situation, I'd need over a hundred thousand points to just add them on. Wang Linchi felt that this Reincarnation Seal was rather disappointing; it had even left a remnant of itself with Zhu Tian.

However, whenever he thought of "protagonists," Wang Linchi's expression would darken. Ever since he had instigated events and occupied Sky Capital, he had discovered many "protagonists" similar to Zhu Tian. The most classic examples were transmigrators from other worlds. There were also body-swappers, possessing spirits, those with chat group systems, and the like—they were as common as carp crossing a river.

To Wang Linchi, it felt as if various people were carving up this dying world.

If Zhu Tian had been an isolated case, Wang Linchi wouldn't have connected these dots. But with so many instances, he couldn't help but consider this possibility. However, compared to Zhu Tian, the "investment" in these other protagonists seemed relatively small. They lacked such a potent Protagonist's Aura, and killing them didn't yield much in the way of Blessings or fortune.

Perhaps they were just here to get a slice of the pie.

At most, they could only be considered pseudo-protagonists.

Forget it; it has nothing to do with me anyway. Wang Linchi quickly dismissed the thought. The Reincarnation Seal had finished charging and had even captured the coordinates of a new world. He had an escape route, so he couldn't care less about the fate of this current world.

There's still one Soul Seed Page slot to fill. What kind should I choose?

He actually had many options: amplification, detection, Defense, recovery, movement, and so on. The Soul Seed Page, unlike a Soul Kind, could only be imbued with active abilities, not passive ones. Of course, even with an active ability, if it was set to continuously cycle its activation, it would be practically the same as a passive one. Continuous cycling wasn't difficult; he could simply compile the Soul Seed Page to do so.

Recovery it is. Wang Linchi didn't know what kind of world he was heading to, but enhancing his recovery abilities—be it for his Physique, Spirit, or Soul—would better ensure his safety and stability. Actually, he had initially leaned more towards survival-type abilities. But then he reconsidered: who knew what the new world would be like? It was impossible to predict. Besides, with his adaptive evolution, survival itself shouldn't be a major problem. The real fear was getting injured and being unable to recover. So, in the end, he settled on a recovery-type ability.

Just as he was contemplating how to create it, Wang Linchi sensed a peculiar shattering disturbance. Before he could investigate, an attendant rushed over, presenting a memorial.

"Your Majesty, a catastrophe has struck! The Western Seven Realms have collapsed into the Great Ruins and turned into nothingness!"

"The Northern Yan Ming King has led a large army to conquer the Eastern Seven Realms, capturing numerous remnants of the defeated forces. It seems he intends to make Sky Capital his seat of power!"

The attendant delivered these two shocking pieces of news right from the start.

"Never mind Yan Ming King for now. Did the collapse in the West affect our Sky Capital?" Wang Linchi was also startled. He didn't care whether Yan Ming King was coming to Sky Capital or not; his main concern was whether his recent efforts to gather resources would be successful. Just moments ago, the temporary Protagonist's Aura he possessed had largely dissipated, and the backlash against him had intensified once more.

"It's not just Sky Capital, Your Majesty; the entire world has been affected! All the Secret Realms have shattered and dispersed. Many Soul Devices have lost their functionality, and numerous Natural Treasures have decayed into dust."

"Even some Awakeners' Soul Resemblances and Soul Kinds have become useless, and their Soul Skills can no longer be activated! This event is being called the Celestial Upheaval," the attendant hastily reported.

Hearing this, Wang Linchi was inwardly puzzled, though he didn't let it show.

Soul Resemblances and Soul Kinds losing their function? How come I haven't felt anything...

Damn it, the world's main database is damaged!

Wang Linchi instantly understood. He was unaffected because he wasn't even in that database; he was essentially running on a personal server. The Awakeners' database crashing had nothing to do with Wang Linchi's local network. His Soul Shadow·Book of Records had indeed been in the database initially. However, with the appearance of the Soul Seed Page, the Nascent Soul, Yin God, Yang God, Saint Master, and a whole series of DLCs, MODs, and even cheat engines, the world could no longer recognize his Record Book Soul Image.

"With this Celestial Upheaval upon us, what measures do my dear ministers propose?" Wang Linchi asked.

"There are inclinations among them to align with Yan Ming King. After all, this is not a time to stir up major conflicts," the attendant replied, seeming to grit his teeth as he said it.

Hearing this, Wang Linchi nodded. It was indeed sound reasoning. However, the primary reason was that his temporary Protagonist's Aura had faded, and in terms of both quantity and quality, it couldn't contend with the Protagonist's Aura surrounding Yan Ming King.

"This course of action is feasible. However, you are to convey two demands on my behalf," Wang Linchi stated calmly.

The attendant was somewhat taken aback; he hadn't expected Wang Linchi to actually agree so readily.

"If he wishes to become the master of Sky Capital, first, Yan Ming King must treat the common folk and citizens of Sky Capital with kindness." As Wang Linchi spoke, the attendant diligently took notes.

"Your Majesty is truly magnanimous! I never imagined you would be willing to go this far," the attendant exclaimed, realizing Wang Linchi was directly conceding Sky Capital to Yan Ming King.

Although Wang Linchi's reputation was great, his actual strength was ultimately insufficient. Previously, with his temporary Protagonist's Aura, everyone had subconsciously overlooked this. Now that much of it had dissipated, some people naturally had dissenting opinions. So, Wang Linchi was using this opportunity to quickly pass the buck and abscond with all the resources he had plundered. Of course, the one thing he desired most still needed to be delivered by Yan Ming King.

"Second, I demand the complete corpse of the Dragon Emperor—it must include all its Dragon Blood, Dragon Crystal, and dragon flesh—and the utter annihilation of the Baylong Religion." Wang Linchi was a vengeful person. He clearly remembered how the Baylong Religion and the Imperial Court had oppressed him back then. This was just like how he had eliminated all the ministers at Court who were connected by interest to his parents' deaths. Although he hadn't been close to his parents, they had given him life, and he certainly wouldn't be stingy about avenging them if he could.

Ironically, his parents hadn't died because of information related to the super-Gigantic Secret Realm within the Rainbow Light Series Soul Seed. Instead, they perished because they had obstructed someone's path to financial gain. If it hadn't been for Wang Linchi's Strong Luck, he might have perished along with them at that time. Therefore, after Wang Linchi came to power, he acted decisively. Anyone who had even the slightest connection to that web of interests was sent on their way to the afterlife, regardless of their innocence. When it came to revenge, the innocence of the "enemy" was irrelevant; any involvement constituted enmity. After all, this wasn't about grand justice, merely personal vendetta.
