Worldwide Awakening: My Soul Kinds Are Lost-Chapter 587: New Spacetime Rift, Position of the Warlord_1

Three months went by in a flash, and Wang Linchi's clandestine devouring of the world and civilization finally triggered a backlash.

However, the backlash did not target him, but the world itself.

A brand new Spacetime Rift appeared, accompanied by the Annihilation Disaster, an event that immediately drew the Federation's utmost attention.

Fortunately, the Annihilation Disaster manifested merely as scattered fragments. The top few Summoners, coordinating with their Heroic Spirits from the apex of the Federation's power structure, managed to forcefully seal it outside the affected time-space segment, albeit at a substantial cost.

Although it continued to seep through, there was no immediate cause for alarm in the short term.

The pressing issue now was to establish a new Time-Space Base as quickly as possible to prevent the Spacetime Rift from expanding, which would lead to the full onset of the Annihilation Disaster.

In addition, a large number of Summoners were conscripted and dispatched to the location of the newly formed Spacetime Rift to eliminate the surging rift lifeforms. Thanks to the assistance of a new combat legion this time, the mortality rate for Summoners and Heroic Spirits drastically decreased; they no longer had to risk their lives as before.

The downside was the immense cost.

After this battle, the favorability of all Summoners and Heroic Spirits towards Wang Linchi and his New Energy Heavy Industry Group had substantially increased.

Wang Linchi was also busy at this time, with a constant stream of major and minor meetings daily.

The meetings were with the Council and the Elder Group, and their discussions always revolved around this new Spacetime Rift: various dispatches, transportation, personnel assignments, and so on, none of which had ceased.

Even if he didn't voice any opinions, he had to sit there. After all, he was an Elder, and not attending would be improper.

"The arrangements are almost complete. Now, the problem is, who will supervise the new Time-Space Base?" The Great Elder sat in the main seat, rubbing his temples, his expression weary.

Many matters passed through his hands, so he had a great deal to do each day.

As for Wang Linchi, they not only avoided assigning him tasks but also deliberately kept their distance. Wang Linchi already wielded enough power; any more, and problems could easily arise.

"I can't get away. I still have many things to attend to," Elder Jia You replied.

"I can't either," the Third Elder added.

The Elders in the Elder Group were also stretched thin, as they all had their own important duties.

Finally, all eyes fell on Wang Linchi. It seemed he was the only one who arrived and left work punctually each day and didn't have many responsibilities.

The most sensible option was to have Wang Linchi supervise. After all, this was the Time-Space Base; if there were any quality issues, it would endanger the entire world.

Only the Elder Group and those few top-tier Summoners knew about the Annihilation Disaster. The council members were kept in the dark to prevent panic that could affect the Federation's stability.

The Federation absolutely could not afford chaos; otherwise, it would inevitably lead to various problems. A single misstep could allow the Annihilation Disaster to enter the world, and then no one would survive.

However, the problem was that Wang Linchi was no pushover. The Elders feared that if Wang Linchi became too dominant, he might act recklessly, which would lead to trouble.

"Don't look at me. I'm not doing this. There's a ton of work at the Group. The latest energy biochemical armor is in its final stages, and I need to oversee it."

Of course, Wang Linchi wanted this job. He was mainly interested in the Time-Space Fortress, a large piece of equipment that could indirectly manipulate time.

He just couldn't say so directly because he knew the situation within the Elder Group. If he expressed a desire to go, the other Elders would definitely refuse. Conversely, by claiming he wouldn't go, he actually stood a chance.

"You don't understand that field anyway, so what are you supervising? Go, and bring King Heaven Equivalent back with you. The base can be built in three months at most," the Great Elder spoke up.

The main thought was, after some consideration, that having Wang Linchi supervise the construction of the Time-Space Base didn't offer much tangible benefit to him directly. Even if there were some, it could be considered his compensation.

Later, he could even entrust the entire responsibility for this Time-Space Base to him; otherwise, Wang Linchi's position as an Elder would lack true justification.

After all, everyone else was busy, while he seemed to be loafing around every day. He might claim to have other tasks, but didn't everyone else?

Essentially, everyone was working for the Federation. As long as Wang Linchi didn't cause trouble, it would be fine.

"What about after that?" Wang Linchi asked cautiously.

Building a Time-Space Base in three months was indeed not a problem; that was even the maximum timeframe. If things moved quickly, it could be done in a month.

With the entire Federation's resources poured in, plus attention from all quarters, it would only be a problem if it were slow.

The Spacetime Rift and the Annihilation Disaster wouldn't wait for preparations to be completed before expanding and invading.

"Afterwards, you will be the highest..."

The Great Elder began to speak, but Wang Linchi immediately interrupted, "So, you're not afraid I'll seize power now, huh?"

"..."

The Elders present were speechless. His words were rather too blunt.

"Afraid? Yes. But it's not a major issue. You should also know what's being held back by the Spacetime Rift. If it gets in, you won't be able to escape either, unless you want us all to die together." The Great Elder sounded completely unconcerned.

If Wang Linchi truly didn't care about his own life, they certainly wouldn't be able to control him. But he clearly wasn't that type of person.

In truth, the Great Elder had never been able to figure out what Wang Linchi truly wanted.

Power? They had given it to him, but he was rarely seen actively using it. Most of the time, it was used to pave the way for the New Energy Heavy Industry Group, which was why they often turned a blind eye.

Money? He had plenty of that too, yet it was constantly circulating, transforming into various resources. Wang Linchi didn't appear to be particularly avaricious.

Knowledge? He merely skimmed the surface, or so it seemed. He had shown enthusiasm for a period, but then his interest appeared to wane.

In reality, Wang Linchi had absorbed it all long ago; they simply weren't aware.

"Alright, since you've put it that way, I'll reluctantly go over and be a figurehead."

Wang Linchi naturally had no intention of managing everything himself. That base was huge; the amount of work would be overwhelming.

"I will assign people to assist you. You just need to go there and act as a deterrent... How many times has King Heaven Equivalent awakened?"

Suddenly, the Great Elder recalled something: Wang Linchi's Heroic Spirit didn't seem very powerful, did it?

"Five times. The Awakening Materials for the sixth awakening are almost gathered; it should just be a matter of days." Wang Linchi wasn't lying. All these Awakening Materials had been farmed by his Heroic Spirit itself, much like being on Hang Up.

"So fast?" The Great Elder had never expected Wang Linchi's Heroic Spirit to advance so quickly.

"Solo farming, so all the materials are mine," Wang Linchi replied.

By its fourth awakening, his Heroic Spirit form had obtained combat-type abilities. After that, it naturally left team play; farming solo was more efficient.

With the series of support abilities from Spirit Law of the World buffing it, its strength naturally surged upwards.

Subsequent aspects of Spirit Law also included a series of abilities such as summoning, altering the terrain, changing the environment, constructing buildings, and crafting equipment.

There were ten tiers in total, each containing one hundred Skills, for a grand total of one thousand Skills. Just the first Spirit Law ability, Spirit Law of the World, was equivalent to an entire team.

The second ability, acquired after deification, was named Holy Emperor·East Yue Tai Mountain. It was also a skill tree, currently being unlocked through awakenings. The exact number of tiers it possessed was currently unknown.

It wasn't that his Heroic Spirit form was absurdly strong; rather, any Heroic Spirit of Unparalleled Quality, once fully developed, was this powerful.

Otherwise, how could they live up to the four words "Unparalleled in the world"?

"Whatever materials you need, the Federation will provide them. Take up your post tomorrow." The Great Elder schooled his expression. This made sense.

Unparalleled in the world, was it? He had one too. He naturally knew how formidable a Heroic Spirit of this quality became once it matured. As long as it wasn't facing another Heroic Spirit of Unparalleled Quality with the same number of awakenings, it could easily fight opponents of higher ranks.

And the greater the disparity in quality, the more ranks it could overcome.

"For subsequent Awakening Materials, you can arrange for your Heroic Spirit to farm them once the new Spacetime Rift stabilizes."

"The newly formed Spacetime Rift is not only a crisis but also a new source of energy. In the time to come, many Summoners will find better environments for advancement there," the Great Elder stated.

"Due to our clearing efforts, the output of Awakening Materials from previous Spacetime Rifts had inevitably dwindled. While the new Spacetime Rift is dangerous, its yield is particularly abundant."

"So, the subsequent administrative rights will be mine?" Wang Linchi instantly understood the implication.

It meant he wouldn't be working for nothing; he'd get a percentage, provided he managed the Time-Space Base effectively.

"It's yours," the Great Elder stated bluntly. Actually, everyone involved usually got a share, but Wang Linchi had arrived late, and there were no such arrangements left for him, so no one had mentioned it. Now that this opportunity had arisen, it was a perfect way to keep Wang Linchi content.

"You should've said so earlier! That's excellent! Leave the rest to me, I guarantee..." Wang Linchi visibly brightened; if there were benefits involved, he was motivated.

"You are not to use the Group's funds or channels," the Great Elder warned. How could he not anticipate Wang Linchi's likely schemes?

"What kind of person do you take me for?" Wang Linchi's expression fell.
