Chapter 742: Cultivator System · Continually Refining the Wrong Great Medicine_1
"Enough, enough. I know I was wrong. You can quiet down now." Wang Linchi looked at the middle-aged Cultivator who was cursing profusely. The other party was a Cultivator of the ancient god realm, so Wang Linchi hadn't anesthetized him. Thus, throughout the dissection process, the man's mouth never stopped, cursing most of Wang Linchi's immediate relatives.However, Wang Linchi didn't mind. After all, his family register only consisted of one page, and his immediate relatives were now not only ashes, but their entire world had also been obliterated.
So, Wang Linchi had no reaction to the man's curses.
He was already dissecting the other party. Letting him curse a few times to vent his frustration wouldn't cost Wang Linchi anything more; he wasn't about to bicker with a dead man.
"I f—" The man, seeming to realize he was nearing the end of his life, rattled off a string of profanities like a barrage of firecrackers.
Wang Linchi was a pragmatic man. He waited until the other party had finished his tirade before proceeding to classify and store the dissected parts.
From the perspective of the Human, Demon, and Ghost Clans, after Cultivation, convergent evolution occurs. Even if the original structures of the three clans are different, as Cultivation and evolution progress, their structures will become increasingly similar. Essentially, this is a form of assimilation.
The Cultivation Techniques they practice have no fundamental logical differences. They can be universally applied.
This means that the exterminated Ten Thousand Clans also experienced this situation.
This implies that although the Ten Thousand Clans may appear different in form, appearance, customs, and consciousness, from a biological standpoint, they were the same species.
Wang Linchi reached such a conclusion, but the Ten Thousand Clans would certainly disagree. Not to mention the Ten Thousand Clans, even the currently surviving Human, Demon, and Ghost Clans would not agree with Wang Linchi's conclusion.
Most life forms are visual creatures, and Wang Linchi was no exception. Judgments are sometimes made based on one's own vision. Even though he possessed many different ways of seeing, it didn't affect his primary means of judgment.
This evolution should be acquired. It's as if they transformed their own species during the Cultivation process.
If one considers the uncultivated Human, Demon, and Ghost species, although there are certain similarities, their differences are substantial.
The transformation process likely began in the Quasi-God Realm. Once one reached the God-human Realm, a complete evolution occurred. This was what they referred to as metamorphosis.
This model had also been inherited by the Green Nether Fairyland, which they called the distinction between immortal and mortal. However, this difference is relatively small compared to the Chaotic God World. At least between the Immortal Realm and the Demi Immortal Realm, the evolution was not as complete.
Wang Linchi knew why; it was naturally because the choices were different.
The Cultivators of the Green Nether Fairyland served as security guards, while the Cultivators of the Chaotic God World started off as soldiers and were now Paste Makers. Their professions were different, so how could there be similarities?
Now there's a small problem: where is what I'm looking for?
Wang Linchi looked at his well-organized laboratory, slightly at a loss. He remembered he had come searching for the secrets of the Heavenly Dao, but now he hadn't found a single clue.
What was the use of analyzing the Cultivator System of the Chaotic God World? A bunch of postnatally formed Rule Essences were, to him, utterly useless. He could create as many as he pleased right now.
Cultivators from the God-human Realm to the ancient god realm were merely like rule fragments gradually fusing into a complete rule. In his eyes, aside from tasting slightly better when consumed, there was no other difference.
As for the Ancestral God Realm, it was indeed a little special because its members possessed the authority of the world—that is, world permissions. So, they weren't a single rule but composite rules. They not only tasted delicious but also had a satisfying texture when consumed. However, that was the extent of their value.
Since the mutation of the Cultivator System was a self-preservation mechanism of the Chaotic God World, it meant it wasn't just for maintaining operations but also for healing its own injuries.
So, those in the Ancestral God Realm were, in essence, individual medicinal pills, waiting to be consumed when the time was ripe.
The 'Heaven and Earth's favor' was a method for creating these medicinal pills. However, due to an unexpected mishap, these pills not only weren't consumed but even began to fight amongst themselves. This led to the initially numerous pills dwindling down to just five.
From Wang Linchi's perspective, these pills intended for healing injuries weren't very effective. Even consuming them in large quantities wouldn't save it, mainly because it was the wrong medicine for the ailment.
Trying to save someone in a vegetative state with painkillers—how could that possibly succeed?
Perhaps it was because death came too quickly, leaving the Heavenly Dao insufficient time for further synthesis, ultimately leading to this outcome.
The truth is regrettable, but what I need is neither in the Heaven and Earth's favor nor in the Cultivator System.
Doesn't that mean my only option is to conduct a 'dissection-style' experiment on the Chaotic God World? That's hardly a pleasant prospect. Wang Linchi sighed, somewhat reluctant to take such a brutal course of action.
Because that would mean using his main body, and he was currently just a game character.
As for altering history through the History of Time, that was certainly unfeasible. Firstly, the Chaotic God World had just suffered a massive hemorrhage. If he were to act, it might not withstand the strain and could perish on the spot. This was also why Wang Linchi was reluctant to perform a 'dissection-style' experiment, as it too would require manipulating history.
Secondly, the scope was excessively broad and even concerned the World Thief: Heavenly Dao, an entity beyond normal parameters, which could easily provoke unforeseeable timeline alterations.
For instance, a careless move might allow the Heavenly Dao in the historical past to perceive something, triggering a butterfly effect. If the Heavenly Dao were then revived, what would Wang Linchi do? He might just have to roll up his sleeves and fight the Heavenly Dao that had survived due to this butterfly effect.
However, Wang Linchi guessed that the most probable outcome would be a timeline collapse due to irreconcilable historical contradictions, leading to the Chaotic God World's immediate demise.
This was primarily because the current Chaotic God World was utterly incapable of supporting the Heavenly Dao.
Wang Linchi was currently weighing the pros and cons, as the impending 'dissection-style' experiment might force the Six Paths of Reincarnation practical experiment to be reluctantly halted.
Thus, he pondered the relative value of the World Thief: Heavenly Dao versus the Six Paths of Reincarnation practical experiment, and whether coexistence was possible.
Theoretically, there was little possibility of coexistence, but there's always an exception to every rule.
It's not entirely impossible, just that the required effort and cost would be quite substantial. After some contemplation, Wang Linchi began calculating the cost.
Vast amounts of data collided in his mind, generating numerous scenarios, the vast majority of which were discarded as unfeasible.
Eventually, he reached a conclusion.
Want coexistence? No problem. The answer is Charging Money.
As long as you were willing to use Charging Money and invest sufficient resources, you could have the best of both worlds.
I was looking for a solution precisely to avoid Charging Money, and now the solution tells me to use Charging Money! Wang Linchi's face fell. This was like Superman using his super-intelligence to solve a problem, only for his super-intelligence to tell him that super-strength would suffice, rendering deep thought unnecessary.
Wang Linchi now found himself in a predicament where resorting to Charging Money seemed inevitable.
Sigh, Charging Money it is then. Charging Money it is. Wang Linchi eventually, and reluctantly, compromised.
Fortunately, despite many years of development and a significant increase in his resources, they still felt like a drop in the bucket when faced with his numerous experimental projects. However, because the projects progressed at different rates and the costs weren't all due at once, he had managed to avoid bankruptcy.
In that case, my next step is to target the Ancestral God Realm experts.
For now, Wang Linchi could only select one Ancestral God Realm expert as a test subject. Moreover, he had to choose the most insignificant one to avoid jeopardizing the Six Paths of Reincarnation practical plan.
After I capture one, the Six Paths of Reincarnation will also need a restart. Two tracks, increased investment.
Indeed, the solution was simple. Running things on two tracks had never been the problem; the issue was the increased investment, which Wang Linchi had always been reluctant to commit. Now, however, he was forced into it, as this was the only double perfection method available.
Who should I choose...? Wang Linchi mulled over his options among the five Ancestral God Realm experts, as if picking vegetables at a market.
Black City and Mysterious Ginseng were the first to be eliminated. If these two perished, the Ghost Clan and Demon Clan would immediately collapse, which would contradict the Six Paths of Reincarnation practical plan.
Therefore, the choice had to come from the Human Clan.
Su Shan is the leader, and Li Ying is too troublesome. That leaves Yin Lu. His presence or absence wouldn't significantly impact things anyway. Finally, Wang Linchi selected his unlucky target.
As for the chosen individual's opinion, it was entirely outside Wang Linchi's consideration.
