Worldwide Awakening: My Soul Kinds Are Lost

Chapter 718 718: Transmigrator Protagonist · Red Refined Demon Lord_1

During his conversation with the Red Refined Demon Lord, Wang Linchi noticed many clues. For instance, the Red Refined Demon Lord appeared to have more support than just that from the Green Nether Fairyland. It seemed there were two other forces from different worlds backing him.One of them was likely from the world he transmigrated from before; that world had given the Red Refined Demon Lord a newbie gift package and a level-up gift package.

The origin of the other force was less certain; Wang Linchi couldn't discern it for the moment. However, it was this new power that the Red Refined Demon Lord relied on to lock onto the Fate on his person.

All Wang Linchi could say was that a transmigrator with someone looking out for them was truly different.

If it had been a transmigrator without backing, they would likely have been eliminated instantly. They wouldn't be like this Red Refined Demon Lord; even when his value was exhausted and someone wanted to discard him like a worn-out donkey, his backers' willingness had to be considered.

The existence of these two forces made it impossible for the Green Nether Fairyland to replace him, even if they wanted to.

Unless the Red Refined Demon Lord suddenly dropped dead.

"I am curious, what kind of existence are you?" the Red Refined Demon Lord asked.

"Me? I guess you could say I'm barely a person," Wang Linchi responded uncertainly.

The Red Refined Demon Lord looked Wang Linchi up and down. He indeed looked human; the only issue was that his depth could not be fathomed.

"So you're not human?" The Red Refined Demon Lord reached this conclusion.

"From a species viewpoint, I still have some connection to humans." Wang Linchi wanted to say, 'Are you insulting me?' But the other party was clearly making a statement, and he couldn't easily refute it, mainly because the other party was speaking the truth.

"Well then, how do you plan to deal with me?" The Red Refined Demon Lord showed no intention of resisting.

"I want to see if I can send you back," Wang Linchi replied honestly.

It didn't matter that the Chaotic God World hadn't arrived yet. He wasn't concerned about which world he devoured; he only wanted to achieve world Devouring.

"Send me back? Back where?" The Red Refined Demon Lord was puzzled. Hadn't he always been here?

Wang Linchi sighed. The other party had been a transmigrator for so long that he had been completely assimilated.

This was quite normal. The Red Refined Demon Lord could be considered a transmigrator, a 'species' imported by the Green Nether Fairyland through official channels, just like Xu Ling. Thus, his assimilation was quite rapid.

Without assimilation, they couldn't be used. Therefore, although the current Red Refined Demon Lord still retained some of his pre-transmigration mindset, he was entirely a native of the Green Nether Fairyland.

The protagonists within his own body had also been assimilated by him into his Family; otherwise, how could he use them?

Moreover, for a Cultivator like the Red Refined Demon Lord, who had engaged in Cultivation for several hundred thousand years, his life before transmigration was utterly insignificant in comparison.

"Of course, I mean the world you were in before you transmigrated to the Green Nether Fairyland, transmigrator," Wang Linchi said, directly exposing the other party's secret.

Logically, the Red Refined Demon Lord should have been both shocked and enraged.

But this didn't happen. Instead, he seemed to have an epiphany. He had been in this world for so long, so long that he had almost forgotten he was a transmigrator.

Then he laughed and said, "You're too late."

"You should have come several hundred thousand years ago. I would have been very grateful to you then."

Since the Red Refined Demon Lord hailed from the Demon Path, one could naturally imagine what his environment had been like.

Therefore, when the Red Refined Demon Lord had just transmigrated, he desperately wanted to return, lest he lose his life.

"You know, many things get delayed. There's nothing I can do." Wang Linchi spread his hands and then asked, "Besides, you went through the official procedures, rather like a daughter who has married out."

"If you want to go back, you'll have to get a divorce first."

Hearing this analogy, the Red Refined Demon Lord's expression turned a bit strange. However, he understood Wang Linchi's meaning, realizing his transmigration wasn't accidental but a transaction.

However, he didn't feel much anger or feel that he had been insulted.

He had long reached a state of being unperturbed by favor or disgrace. He could even calmly face the loss of an Innate magical treasure, let alone the matter of being sold off.

And now, his life was far better than it had been before his transmigration.

If he hadn't transmigrated, his life might have been like that of Cattle and Horses, slaving away with overtime in an office. Now, things were different. He was the Red Refined Demon Lord, one of the foremost figures in the Demon Path. Only those seven Cultivators at the Ancestor Immortal Realm could suppress him.

Among those in the same Realm, few could defeat him.

Of course, he also couldn't kill those few in the same Realm.

"So, can I return now?" At this, the Red Refined Demon Lord couldn't help but think of his Fate.

"You could, but the problem is I can't find the path for you to return..." Wang Linchi stated.

This made the Red Refined Demon Lord feel like exploding. Then what did you come here for? Just to stir up trouble?

If he weren't outmatched, he would immediately make Wang Linchi understand why flowers are red.

"Then you..."

"I'm trying to reopen the passage, and I need your help," Wang Linchi said.

"The passage has been closed?" The Red Refined Demon Lord hadn't expected Wang Linchi to say this.

"Actually, it's not closed. It was merely sealed by the Green Nether Fairyland. So, theoretically, if you want to go back, you'll have to dig your way back," Wang Linchi explained.

Hearing this, the Red Refined Demon Lord also fell silent. Finally, he shook his head, "Then I suppose I won't go back. Several hundred thousand years have passed, and I don't even know what the situation is like back in my homeland."

"What if I return only to find myself in the midst of a world war?"

Actually, he wasn't worried about these things. He was afraid that the Green Nether Fairyland might invade his homeland. While his hands had indeed been stained with blood since his Growth, he still cherished the memory of his first love; he wasn't a completely depraved and frenzied individual.

Besides, what could he even accomplish if he went back?

"Alright, then I'll deal with you right here. Do you have any last words?" Hearing the other party's unwillingness to cooperate, Wang Linchi prepared to act.

If he had been willing to cooperate and act as a Guide Party for Wang Linchi, then Wang Linchi, as one of the Knights-errant of the Righteous Path, would have felt it rather inappropriate to kill him directly.

Unfortunately, he was unwilling. So, taking action was the only option left.

"So, what exactly is your identity?" The Red Refined Demon Lord actually had some suspicions. He suspected that there was likely only one existence capable of knowing such things.

That would be the Green Nether Fairyland itself.

"Go on, guess. If you can't guess that I'm God, then just keep guessing until you do," Wang Linchi taunted.

"Alright, I can't guess." The Red Refined Demon Lord felt somewhat helpless in the face of Wang Linchi's peculiar way of thinking. He then said, "Coming to discard the donkey after it has finished grinding at the mill... isn't that a bit much? And you're doing it personally, no less."

"Actually, I wouldn't call it discarding the donkey after the grinding. At most, it's like replacing a worn-out part," Wang Linchi said with a straight face. "When its service life is up, it needs to be replaced. Otherwise, problems can easily arise."

"Fine. By the way, what's the situation in the three regions—West, South, and North?" the Red Refined Demon Lord asked his question. He had keenly sensed that whatever happened in these three regions was definitely not the doing of the Ten Thousand Nether Sect. As a high-ranking member of the Ten Thousand Nether Sect, how could he not know the truth of this matter?

"Have you heard of 'change the bird in the cage'?" As Wang Linchi finished speaking, he raised his hand and blocked the Red Refined Demon Lord's attack.

How could his opponent genuinely be willing to die? Why choose death when one could live?

Therefore, everything he had done was to lull Wang Linchi into a false sense of security, to make him lower his guard, and then strike.

"You're still a bit too green. Or perhaps your status as a Demon Cultivation Giant has made you unable to see your own situation clearly?" Wang Linchi reached out and effortlessly drained all the immortal power from the other's body.

Without the support of his immortal power, the Red Refined Demon Lord instantly became like a soft-legged shrimp.

He couldn't even stand steadily.

"I just wanted to see the gap between us," the Red Refined Demon Lord said calmly, showing no shame or anger from his failure.

"It's time to send you on your way. Do you have anything else to say?" Wang Linchi asked.

"Actually, there is one thing. Why can't Ancient Immortals break through to the Ancestor Immortal Realm?" he finally asked. Everything else was inconsequential to him, but he couldn't accept why he himself was unable to take that final step.

"The Ancient Immortal Realm is the upper limit for everyone. To become an Ancestor Immortal, one must possess 'original shares' of the Green Nether Fairyland."

"And as it happens, the Green Nether Fairyland is no longer issuing these 'original shares'," Wang Linchi explained, resolving the Red Refined Demon Lord's confusion.

There was something else Wang Linchi didn't say. Even if 'original shares' were still available, he, an outsider—even though assimilated—could not obtain them. After all, he was merely a purchased tool with a specific purpose. Once that purpose was served, he could pretty much be discarded.

As a modern person who had transmigrated, the Red Refined Demon Lord dredged up long-buried memories. He finally understood what he lacked compared to those in the Ancestor Immortal Realm.

"So that's how it is. Go ahead," the Red Refined Demon Lord said, closing his eyes without any hesitation, as if he had come to terms with it all.

Wang Linchi didn't care whether the other party had some scheme or had truly attained great enlightenment. However, now that this Red Refined Demon Lord had fallen into his hands, he certainly wouldn't be allowed to die. At most, he would be categorized and properly 'shelved' by Wang Linchi, to be used for experiments and to trace the origin of the gift packages he possessed, thereby finding the corresponding world coordinates.
