Chapter 734 734: Delay, The World that Lost Wisdom_1
"My goodness, they've actually started fighting," Wang Linchi observed, watching the heavily delayed intelligence report.When he used the Quantum Slingshot to throw the World Stone Throw at the Chaotic God World, he naturally embedded the necessary surveillance facilities and signal devices inside it. Even though the transmission back from such a distance was severely delayed, Wang Linchi didn't mind—being able to see anything was sufficient.
However, there were drawbacks. The devices scattered randomly upon impact, so he had no idea where they might land, and they were immovable, which meant the information he could glean was limited.
Even with this limited insight, Wang Linchi, leveraging numerous devices, reached a conclusion: after he struck the Chaotic God World with the World Stone Throw, the various forces, also known as the Celestial Clans, didn't immediately manage the aftermath. Instead, they immediately descended into a free-for-all, leaving Wang Linchi quite stunned.
Everywhere was a scene of relentless slaughter, a brutal reshuffling of power that left Wang Linchi stunned.
Wang Linchi, however, verified one thing: the strongest among the clans, the Ancestral God Realm cultivators, indeed possessed the ability to mend the world.
"The world hasn't responded. Is it dead?"
Upon seeing this, Wang Linchi grew somewhat certain. The world's mind had likely been destroyed by these Ancestor Immortal Realm cultivators, causing it to lose even its basic logical functions.
For instance, the world had lost even its most fundamental self-healing ability.
There was no sign of any self-recovery at all.
This was unlike the Green Nether Fairyland, which, despite being pinned down, battered, and concussed, had constantly struggled and recovered, intent on retaliating against Wang Linchi.
The Chaotic God World was different; there was no response at all. To say it was in a vegetative state would be an overstatement; it was more like a hollow shell without a Soul.
"It's unlikely to be a trap to lure us in, nor is it feigning weakness. It's genuinely weak," Wang Linchi mused.
He was certain: the other party was truly finished.
"So, what incident caused the Chaotic God World to end up like this?"
To say the Chaotic God World's development was poor would be false. After its authority was carved up by the Ancestral God Realm cultivators, they effectively became the "software" of the Chaotic God World. They had managed it well over the years, particularly in dismantling lower realms and integrating them into the Chaotic God World itself.
This not only gave the Chaotic God World a new lease on life but also allowed it to develop an alternative mode of existence, albeit one that lacked too many fundamental instincts.
As for repairs, there seemed to be a method: capture all the Ancestral God Realm cultivators, manufacture them into "patches," and then upload these to the world. This should restore the corresponding innate logic, though this logic might not be complete and would require sufficient time for self-repair and evolution.
"This is good news for me. At least the first trial of the Six Paths of Reincarnation won't be a major issue."
Wang Linchi also breathed a sigh of relief. He wasn't keen on confronting an intact Chaotic God World; that wouldn't be a good thing at all.
After all, the Six Paths of Reincarnation had no actual operational data, only paper data. If nothing unexpected occurred, there shouldn't be any problems. But one always fears the "what if."
"Judging by the time, Heaven and Man Five Decay should be arriving soon."
After the World Stone Throw was launched, Heaven and Man Five Decay would naturally follow and arrive as well.
"However, this time is special; Heaven and Man Five Decay probably won't be able to cause much of an impact."
The function of Heaven and Man Five Decay is to strike at a system through its rules. However, the inhabitants of this world cultivate this very system. Consequently, each Cultivator is, in essence, a grain of sand that constitutes a rule of the world, with innumerable such grains gradually stacking up to form a complete rule.
And the Ancestral God Realm cultivators are the major pillars.
Therefore, when Heaven and Man Five Decay confronts the cultivators of the Chaotic God World, many of its ancillary effects cannot take shape; destruction can only be achieved through violent means.
If it were any other world, the opponent's Transcendental System would collapse instantly. But not here. At most, they would experience difficulties in Cultivation, increased difficulty in casting abilities, heightened consumption rates, and so on. However, this would still be enough to make them suffer significantly.
"This counts as a setback, I suppose," Wang Linchi didn't think much of it; after all, Heaven and Man Five Decay was merely a vanguard, not his main trump card.
As for his trump card units, he carried them with him. Once Heaven and Man Five Decay had established a bridgehead for him, Wang Linchi would project his protagonists into it.
Effectively, Heaven and Man Five Decay were acting as scouts for him.
His own journey there would also take time. If, during this period, Heaven and Man Five Decay were completely wiped out, especially if it happened quickly, Wang Linchi could still promptly withdraw instead of becoming trapped.
The strategy primarily relied on exploiting disparities in time and information. Although this approach carried risks—for instance, encountering a Reincarnator with a Fate of temporal rebirth—Wang Linchi's plan would then be directly exposed.
The overall plan was quite crude, entirely reliant on his own martial strength.
However, if such a situation truly arose, there was no need to worry. The opponent definitely wouldn't be able to defeat him. If they truly could, they wouldn't need to reset time and rely on a Reincarnator's Fate to turn the tide.
"I wonder how the situation in the Chaotic God World has changed. This delay is far too long," Wang Linchi mused, checking the time. The intelligence report he was currently viewing was at least three years old.
Yes, the delay was that outrageous.
Even when accelerated, the speed of Heaven and Man Five Decay couldn't compare to the World Stone Throw launched by the Quantum Slingshot. That impact force was considerable, naturally creating immense speed. After all, when that world was used as a projectile, it smashed even smaller worlds into fragments upon impact.
If the Quantum Slingshot were used to launch Heaven and Man Five Decay, Wang Linchi feared that the moment they were catapulted, he would have to retrieve all of Heaven and Man Five Decay from the annals of history and revive them.
They genuinely wouldn't be able to withstand it.
Wang Linchi, on the other hand, was slowly drifting towards it. After Heaven and Man Five Decay arrived, it would still take him about another five years to reach the Chaotic God World.
This was mainly because he hadn't accelerated or used Reincarnation, so his speed was very slow.
The main objective this time was the Six Paths of Reincarnation. There was no need for him to arrive so quickly. Once successful, he could let the Six Paths of Reincarnation hunt on its own while he lay back and waited to be fed.
Therefore, if he had to intervene, it would signify that this trial had failed.
"Oh, right, there's still the Saint Master…" Wang Linchi searched around and finally located the Saint Master. He had been too busy for the last millennium, so he had tossed the Saint Master into the Dai Temple to serve as a statue.
Since that fellow was brainless anyway, it didn't matter where he stayed. He might as well contribute some residual value by serving as Wang Linchi's "golden body" statue.
The believers he had taken with him back then had also grown accustomed to the Saint Master serving as a "golden body" for Wang Linchi, offering incense to it daily.
"Your condition is so good; it's a waste for you to remain here. It's just right for you to go and get involved on the front lines."
So much time had passed, and coupled with the Saint Master's rather weak presence, Wang Linchi had almost forgotten about him.
Initially, the Saint Master had indeed been very effective, but now he truly couldn't keep up with Wang Linchi. However, Wang Linchi hadn't discarded him, instead letting him retire to a security role.
Now, things were looking up; new tasks had arisen, presenting the perfect opportunity for the Saint Master to take action.
With the Six Paths of Reincarnation, never mind the Saint Master, even Fanciful and Fickle and the Tai Mountain Seal were almost relegated to secondary roles.
"It's a pity. Cultivating the remaining seven demons is not only uneconomical but also makes them rather useless. Otherwise, Saint Master, I would have set up a 'synergy bonus' for you," Wang Linchi estimated the parameters. He had originally intended to create the Eight Great Demons, but now, even if he did, they would merely be fancy toys.
However, he was already an adult and didn't need toys.
So no matter how good they looked, it was meaningless.
The Saint Master's strength was actually quite commendable; he at least belonged to the first tier of entities within Wang Linchi. However, the gap between this first tier and Wang Linchi himself was also immense.
As members of his Family, no matter how rapid their Growth, they could not outpace him.
Everything the Family possessed was bestowed by Wang Linchi. How could they take what he gave and achieve faster Growth than him? Furthermore, the stronger the Family became, the stronger Wang Linchi would become; their Growth would also feed back to him.
Wang Linchi was the world, and also the civilization; everything within him constituted his power.
After some arrangements, the Saint Master was assigned to the Fate Unit. Wang Linchi took another look and finally equipped the Saint Master with both the Coiling Dragon and the Dragon Soul, transforming him directly into a three-in-one entity—his ultimate form.
The Coiling Dragon and Dragon Soul were of little use to Wang Linchi anymore. Even the Dragon Soul, despite its capacity for adaptive evolution, was no longer effective for him. Wang Linchi had better options; the entire ecosystem *was* him. He had no need to adapt to any environment.
He made the environment adapt to *him*.
