Worldwide Awakening: My Soul Kinds Are Lost-Chapter 641: The Stratagem of Opposition—I Intend to Overturn the Table!_1

Zombie crisis, reborn protagonist. Wang Linchi watched Meng Wuji's actions. He knew these efforts were this world's final struggle, especially since he had swindled away all its money. But he's quite capable, even managing to deduce the impending zombie crisis. Wang Linchi couldn't help but offer a word of praise.

That's right. After the Great Struggle Era, the zombie crisis arose. The source of the zombies was the Prime Minister, who injected himself with Divine Evolution Elixir Type 10. The Prime Minister had already begun his evolution, just as Meng Wuji's reborn memories indicated; it was indeed set to erupt in six months. However, Meng Wuji wasn't truly reborn. All the skill points of this world were invested in a system of cultivating, harvesting, and selling leeks; he was incapable of anything else. Wang Linchi had already almost completely dismantled this system. He had taken over the cultivation and harvesting processes. All that remained was selling—the process of converting the protagonist's worth into profit—which he had not yet acquired. This was the final, core component of the Virtue Career System, an experiment that could only be conducted after the zombie crisis erupted.

The so-called zombie outbreak was, in essence, the diffusion of Sin-force. This world was built upon merit. Therefore, Wang Linchi used the diffusion of its opposite, Sin-force, to create a complete hedge. When the time came, the world would inevitably be unable to resist, and the outcome would be clear: its utter destruction. However, before that, if the Sin-force erupted, other worlds would be eyeing it covetously, wanting to tear off a piece for themselves.

Fortunately, there was also some good news. For instance, a major eruption of Sin-force would cause a separation from the three worlds that had cooperated with this one, eliminating the worry of them gaining an unfair advantage due to proximity. These three worlds were the sources of this world's native Metahumans, Cultivators, and Martial Artists. The four worlds had a deeply cooperative relationship, though this world usually took the lead. After all, this world possessed the highest World Energy Level. Although its upper limit for Transcendents didn't match the other three, that wasn't the crucial point. The key was that this world could produce something the others needed. Once this resource was monopolized, the other three worlds naturally had no choice but to cooperate.

As for shattering the status quo with force, that was rather far-fetched. Just because this world's upper limit for Transcendents was lower than the others didn't mean the world itself was inferior. If a real war broke out, the combined forces of the three other worlds wouldn't stand a chance against it.

However, the situation had now changed. Who could have imagined that a world, once seemingly robust and powerful, would first have its bones dismantled and then be injected with a potent poison, leaving it ripe for carving up by the three other worlds? Thus, initiating the separation was this world's proactive measure to avoid becoming a feast for those three. If I were in its position, I would do the same. He just hadn't anticipated this world would be so decisive, completing the separation and even fostering a corresponding protagonist before the zombie crisis had even erupted.

Since it can't be stopped, I need to find a way to harness the Sin-force. Meng Wuji, this 'reborn' protagonist, is just the initial experiment. If it succeeds, not only will I be able to utilize the Sin-force in reverse, but I can also use it to compensate for my original losses and elevate myself further.

This is the most challenging world I've ever encountered. If Great View were in this world, not only would it fail to achieve anything significant, it would be exploited by this world. There'd be no need for Yan Ming King to fight so desperately alone. It might even succeed in avoiding the Great Ruins.

Wang Linchi compared it with the worlds he had encountered. This one was the most flexible, its decision-making logic the quickest. He would complete his arrangements, and although the world couldn't find the culprit, it could deduce countermeasures by analyzing internal data fluctuations. I wonder what this world has gone through. In terms of age, it's not really that ancient. Wang Linchi knew this world had only been born a few trillion years ago; it was quite young.

His own world was different, more like a mutated variant. He had never imagined he would become a world himself. It was because his origin as a member of the Soul Phase Human Race, which was Rule Essence, combined with the catalysis of the Game System, that had twisted his path into becoming a world. Otherwise, he might have just undergone a standard body-refining process.

Forget it, it's not my problem. But it seems Meng Wuji has run into some trouble. Wang Linchi glanced at this 'reborn' protagonist. He was, in fact, contemplating whether to kill the guy. If Meng Wuji died, Wang Linchi was certain the world would have no further funds to sponsor another protagonist. Ultimately, he abandoned the idea of killing him, recognizing it as the world's overt scheme. If he killed Meng Wuji, Wang Linchi wouldn't be able to acquire the final monetization step of the protagonist-cultivation technique. Without the ability to monetize, no matter how many protagonists he had, they would just be stuck in his hands, becoming liabilities rather than true assets. By not killing him, he could still plot things out gradually.

Underhanded schemes and conspiracies can never hold up in the open; only a grand, overt strategy is truly unassailable. If Wang Linchi wanted it, he had to let Meng Wuji develop and, through him, further analyze the process. Indeed, the world was using Meng Wuji to demonstrate the entire procedure to Wang Linchi. This was akin to drinking poison to quench thirst. If not for this display, Wang Linchi would have killed Meng Wuji at the earliest opportunity. The world was banking on Wang Linchi's greed, hence its fearlessness. Wang Linchi wasn't like the Prime Minister, who possessed great boldness. Wang Linchi wanted more, so he had more to consider, which could lead to delays in his actions.

What if I catalyze things and make the zombie crisis erupt prematurely? Wang Linchi suddenly had this thought. And indeed, such a method existed. Since I know the world's intentions and logic for dealing with me, I can also act recklessly. It would lead to mutual destruction! Wang Linchi instantly deduced the consequences. If he didn't give the world a way out, it would directly connect to the original three worlds and forcibly open the links between them. The ultimate result would be the Fusion of the initial four worlds into a mega-world, where four systems would intertwine. Even if Wang Linchi allowed the Sin-force to spread and the zombie crisis to reach its peak, this Sin-force would eventually be neutralized.

The reason Wang Linchi had this world in his grasp was because he had absconded with its funds. Otherwise, forget a zombie crisis; even if all the Biochemical Crisis series were played out, he wouldn't be able to control it. Once the four worlds successfully achieved Fusion—no, even without successful Fusion, merely opening the connections would allow the power from the other three worlds to seep in. This would be enough to suppress the zombie crisis and, if things got dire, could even expose Wang Linchi. Then he would have to fight one against four.

So much resolve? Is this world's reaction speed really that fast? Wang Linchi was somewhat taken aback by the world's reaction speed. After all, for a world, millennia were less than the blink of an eye. Except for anomalies like Wang Linchi's own world, most worlds operated on vast timescales. Even those facing an apocalypse usually had slow internal reactions. A peculiar world is indeed peculiar. To have risen, it must truly have its own capabilities. Wang Linchi quickly abandoned these risky maneuvers. However, he made a mental note to investigate why this world exhibited such abnormalities. But investigating now was impossible. He needed to wait until the zombie crisis erupted and the world showed signs of being Weak before making a move.

I also need to prepare for the world's desperate, all-or-nothing gambit. Wang Linchi's eyes narrowed. If the world wanted to turn the tables, he could easily guess what measures it would take if it lost. It would either drag Wang Linchi down with it in mutual destruction or fragment itself and have other worlds avenge it. Escaping was also a possibility, but if its attempt to turn things around failed, then escaping would naturally become even more difficult. The best way is to sever its external connections, especially with those three rebellious worlds.

He wasn't truly afraid of these three worlds, but fighting one against four... even one against three, was no easy task. Defeating them one by one would naturally be best. His opponents were only four worlds, not four hundred.

Perhaps I should start with Meng Wuji. Gift him a System? Wang Linchi felt Meng Wuji definitely wouldn't refuse his 'good intentions.' However, on second thought, it seemed all the Systems he had collected previously had been melted down and reforged. Creating a new one now wasn't suitable. Better to give him a Superpower instead—a Space Superpower. Hoarding resources is all the rage in apocalypses these days, after all.
