Worldwide Awakening: My Soul Kinds Are Lost

In the second-floor corridor, a pile of Erroneous Sins was stacked up, one of which Wang Linchi was currently munching on.

The quality is average; it's only Excellent Level, he assessed. The mainstream Erroneous Sins should be around Excellent Level.

Although the Erroneous Sins on the second floor were all Excellent Level, their quality was extremely average. If the theoretical maximum value for an Excellent Level was 10, then most of these Excellent Level ones on the second floor rated below 5, placing them in the lower-middle tier of quality.

All of these on the second floor are minor bosses, while the actual main boss of the entire dungeon is the Night Hotel itself.

Even if they were subpar within the Excellent Level, there was already a huge gap compared to other Excellent Level or Normal Level Erroneous Sins in this hotel. Probably only a Player at Ye Tian's level could handle them. Erroneous Sins, after all, inherited certain characteristics of the Soul Kind, so the difference between Excellent Level and Excellent Level naturally came down to fixed values and percentages.

Having eaten one Excellent Level Erroneous Sin, Wang Linchi felt somewhat satisfied.

Three points of spiritual power! Look, this is the difference! Wang Linchi's eyes gleamed as he finished one Erroneous Sin and eagerly grabbed another to munch on.

The downside was also evident: the digestion speed couldn't keep up. He could eat five or six of the (superior) Excellent Level Erroneous Sins before his Book of Records was full, but for these (inferior) Excellent Level ones, two or three were the maximum. This was already very good. When he ate the Shadow of the Devourer, which was also Excellent Level, he had to do it over three days.

Useless Soul Resemblance, ruining my prime! Wang Linchi grumbled. It's bad enough it's useless; it can't even hold much food or eat as well as others!

Fortunately, as much as Wang Linchi grumbled, he didn't dare to actually overstuff his Soul Resemblance.

If it evolved a couple more times, it... might be a little more useful, he thought.

"Let's go back to the fourth floor. Take all these things back to the room," Wang Linchi said, finishing the Erroneous Sin in his hand. He was nearly full, especially having devoured an Erroneous Sin that looked like a safety exit sign earlier.

He then instructed the Saint Master to move the remaining reserves back to his room. Wang Linchi could fly himself, but it was more convenient to let the Saint Master do it. He, too, would return and wait for the Saint Master to pick him up. Then he would just lie in his room for a few days. If he got hungry, he would eat an Erroneous Sin. Combined with his Cultivation, his power could rapidly increase.

Running out of Erroneous Sins wouldn't matter either. There were still the third, fourth, and fifth floors. When the time came, he could have the Saint Master capture them floor by floor, ensuring a steady supply.

What Wang Linchi really wanted was the Erroneous Sin of the Night Hotel itself, which was Epic Level. But he couldn't find its core, not unless he dismantled the entire hotel. It wasn't that he didn't want to dismantle it; he had tried and failed to do so forcibly. Not only did the Night Hotel itself resist, but it seemed the Game System also protected it to some extent, making the Saint Master's attacks inflict minimal damage. So, Wang Linchi had also dropped the idea.

If he could consume the Night Hotel and extract all the Chaos and Order from within it, he could obtain at least one percent of the Chaos he needed.

The Saint Master quickly piled all the Erroneous Sins into Room 402, then came to fetch Wang Linchi.

For some minor reasons, Wang Linchi had knocked down the walls between Room 402 and Rooms 401 and 403, so his living space had suddenly expanded a lot.

The external walls can't be destroyed, but there's no such restriction on the internal walls, he mused. What if I demolished all the rooms on the fifth floor and turned it into one big space?

Looking at the Erroneous Sins piled up in Room 402, a sudden thought struck Wang Linchi, as if he had discovered some blind spot. Previously, when he had ordered the Saint Master to damage the hotel, they had naturally targeted the exterior walls. Normally, one punch would obliterate a wall, but against the exterior, it only left an imprint. This showed that the Night Hotel couldn't withstand the full force.

"Saint Master, I feel the room is too small. Smash everything for me! I want the fourth floor to be just one room!" Wang Linchi ordered without hesitation.

The Saint Master complied immediately, his massive form crashing directly from Room 402 through to Room 410. Afterward, he diligently threw all the construction debris down from the fourth floor.

Littering from high altitudes would typically be illegal, but there was no one here, only Erroneous Sins. As a human, Wang Linchi was simply taking advantage of the fact that these Erroneous Sins couldn't speak up. Of course, if an Erroneous Sin came to argue with him, that would be even better; he'd directly arrange a 'private suite' for it in his stomach.

Within a mere five minutes, the entire fourth floor was cleared out, except for some pillars that looked a bit obstructive. The reason he didn't remove them was because of something called load-bearing walls. Even if he wanted to demolish them, he would wait until he had consumed all the Erroneous Sins in the hotel first. This was called making the best use of everything.

If he couldn't remove the external walls, he could remove the load-bearing walls. These weren't protected, possibly because the Night Hotel didn't understand their importance. Wang Linchi knew this simply because he had tried removing one before, which caused a large crack on the exterior. So, he didn't dare continue, fearing a larger crack might cause the entire hotel to collapse. After all, he had to survive here for ten days, and it was only the second day.

There were two conditions to complete the instance. One was to make two Erroneous Sins 'crash.' Wang Linchi hadn't met either condition. After all, he ate the Erroneous Sins; he didn't make them crash. How could he complete the task?

I should be able to finish this within five days, Wang Linchi thought, feeling a bit peckish. He reached out, grabbed an Erroneous Sin, and started munching on it. Whenever his Book of Records had some spare capacity, he would start munching, ensuring it never had an idle moment.

While thinking, he continuously ran calculations in his mind regarding the progress of the fifth Soul Kind. With the data and actual materials he had, he was actually very dissatisfied with the rate at which he was obtaining Chaos material. An Epic Level Erroneous Sin could only provide him with one percent. To get everything he needed at once, he would have to find a Legendary Level Erroneous Sin. However, Wang Linchi wasn't confident he could successfully kill one of that level. Of course, using a Mythology level one would be the most reliable. However, the only known Mythology level Erroneous Sin was the Game System, which he simply couldn't handle.

Unless I use the Offspring Egg technique, Wang Linchi narrowed his eyes.

If he didn't want to target an Abyss Offspring or a Player, there was actually another option for him to exploit. That's right, the NPC Natives from the God-given World, created by the Game System. After the game fused with reality, they, no different from living beings, also materialized. This naturally served as sustenance for the Players.

At this stage, most Players still improved by doing quests and killing monsters, entering an instance once a month to meet their task quota. The current tasks were different from the previous kill-fest of Abyss Difficulty, having shifted to strategy and puzzle-solving types, raising the entry barrier.

If I use NPC Natives to cultivate an Abyss Offspring, I would only need one-tenth of the Chaos from its body.

He hadn't considered it before for a simple reason: high costs aside, the only suitable cultivation material he possessed was two-fifths of the protagonist's fate—the Fate Devil God's fate. How could he bear to part with that? However, after consuming so many Erroneous Sins, he had also extracted a small amount of Chaos Rule Power. The quantity wasn't large, but it was more than sufficient as cultivation material.

If successful, Wang Linchi wouldn't have to worry about Chaos Rule Power anymore. Perhaps he could even trigger an awakening in some NPC Natives. Of course, there was a greater chance they would turn directly into Erroneous Sins.

After all, NPC Natives are essentially humanoid beings constructed from Order, derivatives of the Game System. They inherently possess flaws. Combined with the Abyss Offspring's alienating influence and sufficient Chaos Rule Power, it was highly probable that these inherent flaws would be amplified.

The data in Wang Linchi's mind quickly produced a result.

An Erroneous Sin with self-awareness?

The final data he extrapolated indicated that NPC Natives would likely become entities similar to the Game System, possessing self-aware Erroneous Rules. They would then, with high probability, break free from the Game System and become virus-like existences. This had little to do with Wang Linchi; he was more concerned with whether he could successfully obtain the Chaos Rule Power he needed. After some calculations, it seemed possible—both quantity and quality would meet the standards—but there was an issue.

The problem was, the resulting entity might be unwilling to provide it. After all, with self-awareness come desires. Who would willingly give away a tenth, or even more, of their own flesh and blood for no reason?

I should take it slow; there's no rush, Wang Linchi thought.
