Worldwide Awakening: My Soul Kinds Are Lost-Chapter 691: Why is this Immortal King at Nascent Soul Stage?_1
After some experimentation, his opinion of the True Disciple, Chai Hui, plummeted.
Isn't this just a larger version of a Matryoshka doll? What's the actual value? Wang Linchi had never imagined that True Disciples in the Immortal King Realm and Outer Disciples in the Immortal Realm would have fundamentally identical structures.
Well, to say there was no difference at all would be unfair to them. Differences did exist, but there were no fundamental ones.
The Immortal Cultivator system of the Green Nether Fairyland is just a PLUS version of the standard Cultivator System.
They call it the Immortal King Realm, but it's essentially just an oversized Nascent Soul Stage. The only real difference is the power level.
Wang Linchi was now certain this was merely a reskinned system. Any differences arose purely from environmental factors.
If the Qiandao Realm possessed an energy environment as dense as that of the Green Nether Fairyland, its Cultivators would undoubtedly develop along the same lines as those in the Green Nether Fairyland.
Otherwise, how could the exploitation be so deeply ingrained and consistently passed down?
But that's not right. Why does their intelligence seem somewhat... off? Especially that group who ascended. Wang Linchi suddenly thought of this.
Setting aside the Cultivators native to the Green Nether Fairyland for a moment—though they lived long lives, their actual caliber was far inferior to those from the lower realms.
Take this True Disciple, Chai Hui, for instance. Although he had lived for tens of thousands of years, 99.9% of that time was spent in secluded cultivation. So, while he appeared old, he was effectively still a youth in terms of experience and worldly wisdom, relying entirely on his strength.
As for the ascended Lower Realm natives Wang Linchi had examined, he found their intellectual acuity had uniformly diminished. Qualities like their cultivation resolve, perseverance, and willpower had all vanished, as if they'd been completely erased.
All those who underwent Tribulation Ascension to the Green Nether Fairyland were, without exception, geniuses and outstanding figures. Yet, afterward, every one of them resembled a complete novice, easily bested by a group of youngsters.
If Chai Hui and Lu Xing were placed on an equal footing in terms of strength, Lu Xing could thrash Chai Hui senseless.
Yet, after Ascension, Lu Xing's original intelligence plummeted to a level even below what it was before he began Cultivation. His experiences, willpower, and other such attributes all faded. This was why, after being captured, he couldn't escape the Grand Heaven Sect's mines.
Otherwise, with the capabilities of those five, how could they possibly have been outmaneuvered by this group?
Ascension is a trap! Wang Linchi concluded.
It makes sense, he thought. The Green Nether Fairyland is exploiting other worlds. Those who ascend are essentially treated as lower-class citizens in a colonized territory. If these highly capable individuals were to truly enter the 'homeland,' they could easily usurp the established order. Therefore, the Green Nether Fairyland must have employed certain methods to restrict them.
And it had to be said, these restrictions were remarkably successful.
As for accommodating them? That was laughable. How many would help outsiders against their own 'children'? It wasn't as if they subscribed to the notion of 'better to gift to allies than to domestic slaves.'
Besides, the ascended Cultivators from the lower realms weren't 'allies'; they were the 'domestic slaves' in this analogy.
Indeed, there's no such thing as solidarity and goodwill between worlds, Wang Linchi mused.
One could only conclude that Ascension was indeed a massive pitfall. However, due to the information asymmetry, the lower realms remained ignorant of the true situation in the Green Nether Fairyland, leading them all to aspire to ascend.
They imagined that Ascension meant becoming immortals, achieving ultimate freedom, but in reality, it meant being treated like cattle and horses. The thought was almost comical.
However, this lie of Ascension is likely a method used by the Green Nether Fairyland to lure in and weaken talents from other worlds, Wang Linchi speculated.
Those capable of Ascension are no ordinary individuals. If such talents are 'processed' by the Green Nether Fairyland, how could their native lower realms ever hope to develop? They wouldn't be able to, of course. Ultimately, they would never escape the Green Nether Fairyland's control.
As for a world breaking free on its own? If that were possible, it wouldn't be enslaved in the first place.
The Green Nether Fairyland itself is truly, immensely powerful. A single Sect like the Grand Heaven Sect controls tens of thousands of lower realms under its banner.
This was a detail that had genuinely surprised Wang Linchi. That a mid-tier Sect like this could oversee tens of thousands of worlds for the Green Nether Fairyland was indeed staggering.
However, upon closer consideration, it was the worlds themselves that were strong. Taking the Grand Heaven Sect as an example, they didn't actively manage these lower realms. Only if Tributes weren't delivered would they dispatch someone to investigate.
Hao Rui was unaware of these matters; after all, he was merely an Outer Disciple. Chai Hui, as a True Disciple, knew considerably more.
These lower realms are far too homogenized, Wang Linchi observed. They were all based on the Cultivator System—what the Green Nether Fairyland termed the Demi Immortal Realm.
Beyond the identical systems, their operational models and local customs were also largely uniform: the Sects reigned supreme, the strong were revered, and the law of the jungle prevailed. There was no discernible variation.
This uniformity confirmed that these realms were indeed guided or engineered to be this way; otherwise, such lack of variation would be impossible.
This level of control made Wang Linchi somewhat envious. He wondered how such meticulous manipulation was achieved. More importantly, this 'cultivation' method struck him as having immense potential.
The Virtue Career System, Civilization Devouring, world farming, reaping the 'leeks'... it's like getting four meals from one fish!
Wang Linchi felt a surge of excitement. If he could integrate the data he possessed, he could create his own ultimate state of existence—the final level of infinite transcendence.
The Virtue Career System would serve as the framework for cultivating civilizations, providing a small feedback loop. Civilization Devouring, on the other hand, would be like a massive periodic payout. Each 'payout' cycle would involve nurturing a world to maturity, harvesting it, and then starting anew—an endless cycle of rebirth.
The plan will provisionally be called 'Reincarnation'... yes, the 'Six Paths of Reincarnation.' Wang Linchi quickly outlined the entire scheme.
However, he faced a rather critical problem: how to construct this complete system.
He had already established the Virtue Career System. Civilization Devouring wasn't a concern either; he could just begin. He wouldn't even need to do the 'eating' himself. He could have the Six Paths of Reincarnation handle that, while he simply absorbed the nourishment. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
The true difficulties lay in 'world farming' and 'reaping the leeks.' How should he 'farm' these worlds? How could he balance costs and benefits? Reaping was even trickier; he had to ensure that one harvest wouldn't compromise the next cycle's renewal.
So, in essence, he wouldn't just be devouring civilizations; he'd also be slowly carving away at the worlds themselves, securing an endless supply of sustenance.
As for why he called it the Six Paths of Reincarnation, it was just a name that came to mind. Later, he could establish some 'pillars' to serve as the 'paths.' Whether there were actually six wouldn't matter—they could be in groups of six, or six hundred. The power of interpretation rested solely with him; anyone who objected would be eliminated.
One step at a time, there's no rush. To truly understand all this, I still need to go to the Green Nether Fairyland.
Fortunately, my Ascension Plan should be enough.
When the Qiandao Realm collided with the Green Nether Fairyland, the force would be mutual. Wang Linchi had even given it an extra push. If they crashed, even if the Green Nether Fairyland was tough and resilient, it would still be stunned by the impact from the Qiandao Realm. That dazed state was precisely when Wang Linchi planned to make his move.
This move was akin to Wang Linchi landing a stunning blow on the Green Nether Fairyland. Ideally, he'd leave them battered and bleeding. Failing that, a severe concussion would suffice. The key was to strike first and seize the advantage. Striking second would undoubtedly mean suffering the consequences.
However, I need to accelerate things. A True Disciple of the Grand Heaven Sect has gone missing. They'll likely send more people down to investigate soon, Wang Linchi murmured to himself.
The disappearance of an Outer Disciple would mean little to the Grand Heaven Sect. But a True Disciple was different. They had consumed substantial resources from the Sect, so their disappearance couldn't simply be ignored. Even if dead, the Sect would seek to extract any remaining value from their corpse.
Therefore, if Chai Hui didn't return or send any word within ten years at most, the Sect would undoubtedly dispatch investigators. Who they would send remained uncertain; it would depend on the specific circumstances.
Ten years at most... I'll cut that in half for myself. Five years to complete the Ascension Plan. Wang Linchi estimated. There should be more than enough time. If I rushed, I could potentially finish it in an instant, but that would be too abnormal. The Merit Giant hasn't been fully converted into a Family member yet, which could lead to complications.
Full conversion into a Family member would depend on the Merit-version Plasma Spark Tower.
He certainly wouldn't go to such lengths just to build a mere propulsion engine. With sufficient materials, he would definitely incorporate additional functions, putting everything to optimal use.
In that case, I need to give Hu Da a significant boost and quickly secure all the resources from the expansion plan, Wang Linchi thought. Previously, he had ample time, so he hadn't been concerned about these resources, knowing they would eventually fall into his hands. Now, however, he couldn't afford to wait for them to complete their 'cycle.' Securing them as quickly as possible was now the optimal choice.
