Worldwide Awakening: My Soul Kinds Are Lost

Chapter 702 702: The plot is good, but I want to make slight modifications_1

At night, a figure vaulted into the courtyard.This kid's Charm inheritance is extraordinary. A mere Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator, yet thirty percent of the Charms he can create are medium-grade. If I could obtain it and then resell it... A hint of greed flickered in Shang Ge's eyes.

He had heard the supervisor mention today that a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator at one of the stalls could actually create medium-grade Charms. Ordinarily, he shouldn't covet what belonged to another, but unfortunately, he had recently run into some trouble.

So, he could only seek out Wang Linchi to "borrow" a little something.

The fellow certainly wouldn't have many Lower Quality Immortal Spirit Stone Fragments; after all, he's just a Loose Cultivator. I don't plan on taking those.

Instead, he had set his sights on the other party's Charm inheritance. Although he didn't cultivate Charms himself, he could sell the inheritance.

An inheritance is quite valuable. Coupled with my status in the marketplace, a bit of deception and extortion might net me eight hundred to a thousand Lower Quality Immortal Spirit Stone Fragments.

The main thing is that an inheritance can be sold repeatedly; it's not a one-time deal.

"Actually, I'm no longer in the Foundation Establishment Stage. I'm at the Golden Core Stage now," Wang Linchi helpfully reminded him.

This gave the intruder quite a shock. He had never imagined Wang Linchi would be standing right beside him, unnoticed.

Wang Linchi at the Golden Core Stage was equivalent to having an implanted energy core, allowing for the refined processing of Spiritual Energy to support larger-scale modification experiments.

The amplification wasn't that significant. He had merely obtained a brand-new energy core—the Golden Core—along with refined processing capabilities that supported more powerful Spells and allowed him to venture into the realm of Divine Skills.

It enhanced the power of Wang Linchi's Merit Banner and caused the three fused Spells it contained to advance into a Divine Skill, which Wang Linchi named "Biochemical Crisis."

"You... How is this possible!" Shang Ge was terrified. The other party was only at the Golden Core Stage; how could he possibly be stronger than him, a Divinity Transformation Stage cultivator?

And how had he remained hidden from his senses?

Therefore, upon realizing the situation, his first instinct was to turn and flee.

Does he take me for an idiot? How could a Golden Core Stage cultivator evade my Divine Sense? He must be disguising his true strength!

However, just as he turned, Wang Linchi's Merit Banner smashed down on his head.

THUD. He collapsed instantly.

"Young people these days certainly sleep soundly. Out like a light," Wang Linchi couldn't help but remark.

Then, he began to search the headless corpse.

Given the intruder's meager strength, to survive a headshot from Wang Linchi's Merit Banner without being utterly annihilated meant Wang Linchi had held back considerably. To think he could have kept his head intact was rather naive.

What a pauper, Wang Linchi thought, looking at the Storage Bag in his hand. It was small and cramped, and seemingly devoid of anything valuable...

Huh, it seems there actually is something good.

Wang Linchi pulled out something that resembled a map.

Upon closer inspection, it looked somewhat like a treasure map.

It records some ruins, but it's incomplete. I'll need to fill in the rest myself.

A typical starting procedure. Next, I'm supposed to embark on... yeah, right, like I'd go. Why would Wang Linchi bother exploring some dusty old tomb? Out of boredom?

Besides, why would he need to search for things one by one? He could just use his plug-in.

After a series of measures, including divining heavenly secrets and viewing the "script," Wang Linchi successfully understood the whole situation.

The cave dwelling site of an Immortal Realm Cultivator, containing abundant resources. It opens at fixed intervals, with the next opening in five months.

The protagonist treatment really isn't bad. Everywhere I go, I stumble upon suitable dungeons for me.

Although it was the cave dwelling site of an Immortal Realm Cultivator, the original owner was looking for an heir, so entry was restricted to those at the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Why the Foundation Establishment Stage restriction? Just because that happens to be my current apparent level? Wang Linchi wondered.

Well, he wouldn't dwell on such illogical matters. It was someone else's setup, and he was a latecomer, so it wasn't his place to complain too much. Otherwise, it would be as absurd as a grandfather deferring to his grandson.

But speaking of which, the secrecy around this seems pretty poor. How do so many people know about it?

Wang Linchi took another look. Good heavens, it turned out this matter wasn't secret at all. Not only did Sect Disciples know, but even Loose Cultivators were aware.

However, Sects generally didn't interfere much. After all, it was merely the cave dwelling site of an Immortal Realm expert. Their Outer Disciples were already at this Realm, and the treasures inside were intended for those at the Demi Immortal Realm; going there would be a waste of time for stronger cultivators.

Loose Cultivators, on the other hand, would mostly flock to compete for it. Quite a few met the criteria, as it was only the Foundation Establishment Stage.

The problem is, I'm at the Golden Core Stage now. How can I participate... Alright, this restriction probably can't detect my true situation. Wang Linchi mentally suppressed his game character's level, and it quickly changed from the Golden Core Stage to the Foundation Establishment Stage.

The restriction would surely assess Wang Linchi's 'human skin' game character. It couldn't possibly judge his true body; even the Green Nether Fairyland itself wouldn't be qualified for that.

Let me see the plot's trajectory...

The plan is simple: I'll go over there and, like a true sneak, successfully enter the final assessment. Then, using a portion of the inheritance obtained from the cave dwelling ruins, I'll go on a rampage. Finally, I'll successfully obtain the other party's complete inheritance.

Obtaining the inheritance is secondary; going on a rampage is the main objective here.

I get it. You want me to deal with this group of Karmic Force Practitioners, right? Wang Linchi quickly finished his review, thinking it was utterly cliché.

So cliché, it made Wang Linchi cringe.

Will all future plots be like this?

These plots might seem crude to Wang Linchi. However, to the native inhabitants of Green Nether Fairyland, they were incredibly satisfying—the kind that offered ultimate wish fulfillment. This was, of course, assuming they were the protagonist who went on a rampage and obtained the inheritance, not the unfortunate souls slaughtered as stepping stones.

Since it's my plot, as the protagonist, I should participate. I just won't follow your script.

A 'tiny' bit of modification shouldn't matter much, right?

Wang Linchi felt that playing with a group of Loose Cultivators wasn't very interesting. It would be better to involve the entire Green Nether Fairyland... No, that would be playing too big. If the Merit Giants were to arrive then, they'd find themselves with nothing to do. So, he decided to scale it back a bit and just pull in all the nearby Righteous Path and Demon Path Sects to join the fun.

I truly live up to my name as a Knight-errant of the Righteous Path, not even forgetting to share the... benefits with the Righteous Path while striking down the Demon Path. Wang Linchi felt his identity as a Knight-errant of the Righteous Path becoming even more solidified.

He had been ignorant before, not understanding the benefits of being a Knight-errant of the Righteous Path. Now that he was enlightened, he realized that this identity, combined with his penchant for criticizing from the moral high ground, could produce an effect greater than the sum of its parts.

But there's still one problem. This cave dwelling site isn't opening for the first time, and it's not like no one has ever entered before.

So, how should I reconcile this with the established lore?

The original owner of this cave dwelling site was most definitely dead, so Wang Linchi didn't need to consider their thoughts or respect their opinions. He just needed to make his actions fit the existing setup.

He still wanted to cause a biochemical crisis, but on second thought, this Biochemical Crisis plan seemed a bit unfeasible.

For example, its contagiousness could be dealt with by Immortal Emperor Realm experts, and that Immortal Sovereign Realm expert hadn't left yet.

After rummaging within himself for a moment, he took out the Crusty Shark Virus. He hadn't tried this one yet, only the Ghost Corpse Virus.

Then, he produced an Erroneous Sin.

As a complete system, how could it lack something like 'mortalization'?

Since you all cultivate, why not call this one the Heaven and Man Five Decay?

If it succeeds, I'll promote it widely.

After experimenting with the Ghost Corpse Virus, Wang Linchi had also discovered a drawback to the Crusty Shark Virus: it was too easily eradicated.

For instance, if an entire area was wiped out, and everyone in it died, the Crusty Shark Virus would be unable to spread.

In a modern society that valued human rights, such actions would indeed be unthinkable. However, in Green Nether Fairyland, where the strong reigned supreme, such incidents were as commonplace as eating and drinking. One could even blame them on a Demon Path Sect afterward.

Therefore, Wang Linchi needed to upgrade this Crusty Shark Virus, transforming it into the Heaven and Man Five Decay he envisioned.

This incident at the cave dwelling site would be the perfect stage for the Heaven and Man Five Decay to make its debut.

Otherwise, the tribulations cultivators faced were too bland—merely Heavenly Tribulation, Walk Fire into Demon, Dao Xin Broken, and other such minor afflictions. While deadly, Wang Linchi wasn't aiming for mere deadliness. His Heaven and Man Five Decay was designed to crush the spirit.

Imagine a majestic Ancestor Immortal Realm Cultivator, weakened to a state worse than even Mortals. That would surely be very interesting.
