Worldwide Awakening: My Soul Kinds Are Lost-Chapter 636: Why does everyone think of hiding the bow after the birds have flown away _1

The President had come to see him for a simple reason: the rumor circulating in Dragon City about Wang Linchi kidnapping people.

As it happened, he ran right into the aggrieved party.

However, the President wasn't there to assign blame but to ask who was trying to frame Wang Linchi.

"How would I know?" Wang Linchi feigned innocence. "Why don't you start by investigating the people I've offended and those who've offended me?"

From the very beginning, the President suspected that Wang Linchi had been framed. After all, Wang Linchi had been in the base the entire time, without once stepping foot outside. To suggest he had kidnapped people was as absurd as claiming he'd attained godhood.

Besides, even if Wang Linchi *had* done it, they would have found a scapegoat to take the fall, rather than directly implicating him.

The President was still waiting for Wang Linchi's Type 10 Divine Evolution Elixir to help him take that final step.

"I have no leads on this matter either, but it's certain that one of our own people is responsible."

"The only thing I don't quite understand is why *they* chose this particular group. There's nothing connecting them." The President had gathered information on all the protagonists, but their profiles seemed unremarkable, offering no clues.

Wang Linchi glanced at the intelligence report and was astonished. "Are you sure about this?"

These protagonists' résumés, based on the intelligence, are each exceptional. Any single one of them is out of the ordinary. For the President to think they're unremarkable is truly arrogant.

"Of course. None of them could last a single round against me," the President stated proudly.

"True, Mr. President, your strength is indeed unparalleled." If I didn't know just how absurdly overpowered these protagonists truly are, I'd probably think the same way. After all, a bunch of worthless punks—how could they possibly be worthy of facing him? Wang Linchi mused.

"Is the Type 10 Divine Evolution Elixir ready for me now? The Level 5 Life Force Field has been constructed and covers the entirety of Xing Country," the President said, abruptly changing the subject.

"So quickly? It hasn't even been half a month." Wang Linchi was somewhat surprised. It should have taken at least a month, by my calculations.

"I'm not entirely sure. The resistance seemed to have diminished significantly this time, which is why the deployment was so swift." The President also found this puzzling. Normally, it shouldn't have been this fast.

Wang Linchi quickly deduced the reason. It's most likely because the protagonists have all departed, causing the original villainous lackeys to either cease their activities or reduce their frequency. Beyond that, perhaps it's because it has been popularized several times before, and those Transcendent forces don't dare to interfere too much anymore. That's why the popularization was so quick this time. It can only be described as a fortuitous coincidence.

"Since that's the case, here you go, Mr. President," Wang Linchi said, handing him a vial of black elixir.

"Why is it black?" the President immediately questioned. The previous elixirs had transitioned from colorless to gold, but this one was black. This made him suspicious that Wang Linchi was trying to deceive him.

"The gold is so concentrated that it causes a visual distortion in color. In reality, it's still gold; you just need the right equipment to see it properly."

As Wang Linchi spoke, he extracted a drop from the elixir, placed it under a microscope, and then gestured for the President to look.

Through the microscope, the President observed that beneath the surface of what appeared to be an utterly black droplet, there were densely packed, innumerable golden specks. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.

These specks were the constituent elements of the Divine Evolution Elixir. He had seen them before, though their current form was different.

Previously, a single droplet contained basically one speck, but in this Type 10 Divine Evolution Elixir, a single drop teemed with so many countless specks that it startled him.

No wonder it can grant power exceeding the limits of the lower realm!

"Feeling more at ease now?" Wang Linchi asked.

"I've always had complete faith in you, young Wang. Never doubted you for a moment," the President declared with a shameless grin.

I still need his help, and I can't kill him yet. So, I have to show some goodwill, he thought.

"Although you have the Type 10 elixir in hand, now is not the optimal time to consume it," Wang Linchi stated suddenly.

The President was somewhat taken aback and quickly asked, "Why is that?"

"It's unstable. Even though the Level 5 Life Force Field now covers the entire nation, some problems still persist."

"For example, sabotage from foreign powers, the envy of certain individuals, and so on." Wang Linchi's meaning was clear: Until all preparations are complete, no one, whether internal or external, will allow you to break through.

If he succeeds, the President will become an eternal ruler.

Especially the internal personnel. Knowing it took a century to produce just one such Type 10 divine being, and understanding the President's character, they all knew what would happen if he truly broke through.

A cold glint flashed in the President's eyes. Wang Linchi is right. Such a perceptive man... unfortunately, he holds the key to too many technologies crucial to my rise. If I don't kill him, he could become a means for someone to overturn my power in the future. If it weren't absolutely necessary to kill him, I'd much rather not. I would let Wang Linchi serve me until his death.

"Then when would be a suitable time?" the President asked coldly.

Since you're the one who brought up the problem, you should be the one to propose a solution, he thought.

"We can leverage this kidnapping case," Wang Linchi proposed, offering a plan that surprised the President.

"Mr. President, you can gather everyone, shift the blame onto others, and use the opportunity to muddy the waters. Then, you can slip away during the confusion."

"At that point, while everyone else is entangled, you, Mr. President, can feign severe injuries to make your escape. Afterward, you can inject the Type 10 elixir."

The President considered Wang Linchi's suggestion. It seems feasible, but why go through all this trouble?

"I can just inject the elixir and undergo the transformation directly. Why make things so complicated?" The President suspected Wang Linchi was trying to use him to deflect conflict.

"The Type 10 Divine Evolution Elixir is different from the previous nine types. The transformation cannot be completed in a short period."

"Even with your aptitude, Mr. President, the entire process will take at least a year. If you are confident you can maintain control of the situation for a year while in a weakened state, then naturally, there's no issue," Wang Linchi replied, his tone indifferent.

"A year of weakness?" The President's heart sank; this length of time was indeed beyond his expectations.

The previous Type 9 elixir had only taken about three hours, yet Type 10 required a full year.

"Correct. And that's just an estimate; it will only be longer, not shorter."

"The weakness is because the transformation is exceptionally potent—it's a transition from human to Immortal. The previous Type 9 was still within the human stage, so it was naturally faster," Wang Linchi explained calmly.

This gave the President pause. A year of weakness truly required a convincing and irrefutable excuse.

Wang Linchi's suggestion to feign severe injury to escape is indeed a good method. At that time, I could even temporarily transfer power to the Prime Minister to enhance the credibility of the ruse. And the only one who would know the truth would be Wang Linchi. According to my usual way of thinking, he must be killed. But I hesitate... I'm mainly worried that if I kill Wang Linchi, he might have some contingency plan that could expose me.

"I understand. We'll proceed according to your plan. I will help divert attention," the President said after some deliberation, choosing to trust Wang Linchi for the time being.

He has no reason to kill me. And if he intended to harm me, he wouldn't have given me this Type 10 Divine Evolution Elixir. He would have leaked it to others long ago. Then, those others would confront me, and Wang Linchi could even profit from the conflict. Since he hasn't done any of that, it suggests he's relatively trustworthy. I can wait until I've successfully broken through... and then kill him.

"However, after this is over, I will require all the Divine Evolution Elixirs from Type 1 to Type 9, and I wish to leave this place," Wang Linchi suddenly stated his conditions.

"There are no further advancements after this?" The President was astonished. Of course, I want even greater power!

"Unless you, Mr. President, achieve Ascension or succeed in Shattering the Void to depart this world, this is the highest level attainable. You cannot become stronger; this is a limitation imposed by Heaven and Earth."

"However, you need not worry about lifespan. Upon a successful breakthrough, you will achieve true immortality," Wang Linchi further explained.

A brilliant light flashed in the President's eyes. If that's true... His earlier, wavering thought of perhaps not killing Wang Linchi was extinguished once more. There can only be one Immortal and all-powerful being—and that will be me.

"No problem. After this is settled, as long as I live, no one in this world will dare to lay a finger on you," the President readily agreed.

Indeed, no one in the world would dare to touch Wang Linchi. Because I, the President, will personally send him on his way.
