Worldwide Awakening: My Soul Kinds Are Lost

What's with this browser game-like style... Wang Linchi commented to himself as he observed the somewhat exaggerated, flashy, and brilliant style after advancing, perplexed by this kind of aesthetic.

Thankfully, he could hide this. Otherwise, carrying around such flamboyance would undoubtedly attract attention wherever he went.

He was referring to attracting attention within dungeons. He usually didn't go into dungeons with others. This situation wouldn't naturally be an issue in the game world, thanks to the more eccentric Players out there.

As for why he wouldn't team up with others, he certainly didn't want his Experience and Abyss Crystals to be shared, especially with a bunch of burdens.

He wasn't sure about the Unique rewards for the first clear, but Experience and Abyss Crystals would be split equally, regardless of whether you were a hanger-on or a carry; there were no exceptions.

At this stage, he was the only one with such plug-in-like progress, and he saw no reason to nanny others while giving away his gains for free.

Time to log off.

Wang Linchi checked the time, grateful he had bought a Game Cabin instead of a game helmet; otherwise, he might not have been able to handle it.

The Game Cabin could support Players in staying online for extended periods, providing functions like Nutrient Solution for sustenance and physiological monitoring.

This time, he was logging off to see if he could bring the carcasses of the Abyssal Demons from his Storage space back to the real world. If successful, he could develop modifications, plug-ins, or auxiliary gadgets using them.

He opened the panel and clicked 'Log Off.'

His consciousness then began to flow back to reality. This time, Wang Linchi distinctly felt the difficulty in returning because of the Abyssal Demon corpses in his Storage space; the barrier separating reality from virtuality was sturdier than ever before.

Fortunately, Wang Linchi wasn't an ordinary person. If it had been someone else, they might have made it back but would have lost the items.

Through continuous optimization and interference using his spiritual power, he attempted to trick the judgment system.

The effect was quite good. Although this was Wang Linchi's first attempt, it was also the first time the barrier, similar to a firewall, had encountered this sort of situation.

As he continued to apply obfuscating interference to his Storage space, the system finally deemed it harmless, allowing Wang Linchi and his Storage space to pass.

The carcasses of the Abyssal Demons were certainly harmful. However, modifications, plug-ins, and the like were also products that disrupted balance, so the two could be considered equivalent.

As his consciousness returned, Wang Linchi climbed out of the Game Cabin, which was almost like a coffin, and massaged his temples. The urgent interference just now had drained him a bit.

Furthermore, he had lain there for so long without moving. Thankfully, with Dragon Soul Saint Main handling the 'Hang Up' Cultivation of his three secret techniques, his body had been maintained; otherwise, it would have atrophied from the prolonged lack of movement.

He briefly stretched his body.

In such a short time, my senses have gone through so many ups and downs.

In the game, he was just an ordinary, weak Player. However, in reality, his power could nullify modern firearms. The gap was substantial.

Come to think of it, wouldn't modern firearms be more effective against these Abyssal Demons? Wang Linchi suddenly realized a blind spot.

The game "God-Given World" shouldn't be designed as a monster-killing, level-up game. Instead, it should be a large-scale strategy game focused on base building, climbing technology trees, or even creating various fantasy weapons.

However, on second thought, not many people would be interested in playing if that were the case.

Because if Players were constantly working in the game, it would be like having a real job. Worse, playing the game would become hard labor.

What Wang Linchi was referring to wasn't a lord-mode concept. Instead, it was a type where all Players were assigned tasks, and the Game System, not the Players, issued commands and strategies.

While such an approach could speed up the development of a faction's power, it wouldn't satisfy the Players' interests. Few people would want to become mere Cattle and Horses.

Or is it that modern firearms cannot effectively harm Abyssal Demons? Wang Linchi pondered. Otherwise, there's no way this labor-intensive and thankless model would have been adopted.

He quickly cleared out a room and set it up as a laboratory. After performing all disinfection and isolation measures, he took out the body of a Dwarf Monster for dissection.

As the scalpel touched the Dwarf Monster's skin, he found it unexpectedly resilient.

Such strong body density! A modern surgical scalpel can't even cut through a Dwarf Monster's skin!

Wang Linchi was astounded. Holy crap! Using the Hunter's Knife had been very easy. The quality of that Hunter's Knife, whether in material or craftsmanship, couldn't even compare to a modern surgical scalpel, yet the scalpel proved inferior.

What's going on? Wang Linchi wondered.

A serious issue had arisen—a problem with its toughness.

For example, this Dwarf Monster's physical strength was more terrifying than Wang Linchi's own. It had to be at least Elite Gold Level. In the real world, it could wreak havoc, and firearms wouldn't even be able to penetrate its defenses.

But in the game, it was just an Elite Monster, easily killed by a Saint Master.

Either the game character formed by 'God-Given World' has Special Attack Power against Abyssal Demons, or 'God-Given World' itself can suppress and weaken these Abyssal Demons.

It could also be both.

The Abyssal Demons didn't seem weak; on the contrary, they were very strong.

This is a bit outrageous.

Since the Abyssal Demons could be brought out, and unlike previous equipment, they weren't just textures without actual substance, it means they truly exist.

If a scalpel couldn't dissect the Dwarf Monster, Wang Linchi had other methods. Through further dissection, he quickly confirmed it had internal organs identical to what he had dissected in the game.

Even the brain fluid was replicated.

If these Abyssal Demons were to descend upon the real world, firearms would be virtually useless. We'd have to rely on the Players themselves.

It seems this time, it really is the apocalyptic genre of game-reality fusion.

Wang Linchi felt a headache coming on. He was now certain that the Reincarnation Seal, the item allowing him to traverse worlds, couldn't provide him with a peaceful life. It only led him to various Apocalypse Worlds. No wonder the screening process took a year.

Finding a world without an apocalypse isn't difficult; on the contrary, Apocalypse Worlds are the ones that are hard to find.

Right now, Wang Linchi felt overwhelmed. After all, he had just escaped the Great Ruin and World Annihilation not long ago, and now he had encountered an Abyss invasion. Anyone would buckle under such circumstances.

Fortunately, the Reincarnation Seal still worked, and he still had ways to become stronger. Otherwise, he might have had to debut as an idol to gather fame.

If a weak Dwarf Monster is Elite Gold Level, what level is a True Magician? Morning Star Level or Bright Moon Level?

Wang Linchi couldn't help but think, Doesn't the power level of the Soul Aspect World seem a bit low?

If it weren't for the arbitrary changes I made to my Soul Series System, making it different from the original, I might have been a weakling too.

No wonder I was able to kill opponents above my level; so that's the reason. Wang Linchi thought about when he, a Black Iron, had killed a Mithril. He felt it wasn't that he was exceptionally overpowered, but that the system itself hadn't fully developed.

Then he retrieved the True Magician. Upon taking it out, a terrifying aura swept over him, compelling Wang Linchi to quickly suppress it with his Thought Field.

This level of intimidation even in death... it's terrifying.

Wang Linchi quickly assessed the True Magician's approximate strength. If it were complete, it would be at the peak of the Bright Moon Level. But now, because its facial skin was missing, it was incomplete, causing its strength to drop to around the peak of the Morning Star Level.

But this was still terrifying enough. It's lucky I wasn't greedy enough to fight a complete True Magician back then; otherwise, I really wouldn't have been able to defeat it.

No, its Physique is still at the Bright Moon Level. But perhaps because it hasn't been used or exercised for a long time, it's only around the initial stage of Bright Moon Level. Wang Linchi thought, cursing inwardly. His dissection was very strenuous; he still couldn't cut the muscles apart.

Under normal circumstances, most power drops are due to injuries. But how can being injured cause the overall strength of bones and muscles to weaken simultaneously? It's not as if it went unexercised for a long period; a drop in power level isn't likely to cause physical strength to diminish as well.

Although it's a bit strenuous, it's not utterly impossible.

After all, it was dead, not alive. Would Wang Linchi let a mere corpse give him such a hard time?

But what if, in higher-difficulty Abyssal Dungeons, the corpses of Abyssal Demons are even more terrifying after death, perhaps even preventing me from dissecting them at all?

The True Magician was just a level 20 Abyssal Demon BOSS; there were higher-level dungeons beyond that.

Doesn't that mean I might encounter beings above the Daylight Level? Wang Linchi's concept of the highest strength tier was only the Daylight Level because that was all he had seen. He hadn't encountered anything higher, so he couldn't form an effective concept beyond it.

So, the best method would be to master the game character's Special Attack Power against Abyssal Demons. Otherwise, I won't even be able to dissect Abyssal Demons in the future.
