This Emperor Jing, he sure thinks differently. Upon learning of Emperor Jing’s conversation with Li Zheng and Zhang Lin, especially the part about exhuming his own body to threaten the enemy, Wang Linchi couldn’t help but find the situation sowhat absurd.
The others had already rebelled. Unless he were resurrected, his skeletal remains posed no real threat, let alone his golden body.
Zhang Lin’s intention was to use Wang Linchi’s righteousness to alleviate external pressure, buying enough ti for internal adjustnts. However, Emperor Jing had completely missed this point. Even if he hadn’t, it wouldn’t have mattered, as he had no idea how to proceed.
As for letting Zhang Lin take charge, he was currently so swamped he barely touched the ground; how could he possibly have the spare ntal energy for these matters?
I initially thought that after the loss of the Dai Temple, the faith would decline for a while. To my surprise, not only did it not diminish, but it actually ushered in a peak period. Wang Linchi thought cheerfully.
Moreover, his divine authority as the god of death began to increase significantly, accelerating his power progression in the Cicada Molting stage.
War is not a good thing, but using it as a ripening agent can yield many benefits. It’s just a bit like killing the goose that lays the golden egg.
Wang Linchi did not particularly like war, but he needed sufficient benefits.
He knew he was at fault, yet he refused to change.
Yuan Lin has successfully returned to the Northern Prairie. Currently, he’s serving as a foot soldier under a northern Rebel Army. Quite interesting. Wang Linchi checked the status of Hidden Dragon Yuan Lin again. For now, he remained unremarkable, with no outstanding achievents.
Of course, if he revealed himself as a Class B believer, many Rebel Armies would treat him as an honored guest. However, he did not disclose this.
Instead, he had his own plans.
The hibernation stage. It seems the world will be in turmoil for quite so ti.
Next, I need to deepen my bond with Yuan Lin to solidify the future position of the Heaven Equivalent Benevolent Holy Emperor. Wang Linchi had already begun to deploy mory bodies around Yuan Lin; their abilities were average.
Subsequently, he would also deploy mory bodies of Temple Masters, believers, and similar types.
Ultimately, these individuals would all sacrifice themselves in the na of faith.
Being alive doesn’t count for much. Only in death can one beco an unforgettable first love.
Wang Linchi’s main strategy was to create a sense of regret.
If Yuan Lin could beco a Class A believer in the future, Wang Linchi wouldn’t mind increasing his investnt, perhaps even personally intervening to ’ghostwrite’ Yuan Lin’s successes.
However, becoming a Class A believer was not so easy. Even a third-tier Class A believer had to be at least a Zealous Believer.
This presented a considerable difficulty, as it required them to dedicate themselves body and soul to him.
To succeed, this had to happen while Yuan Lin was still in the Hidden Dragon stage, not yet in a high position. Otherwise, when facing him, this god, Yuan Lin would more likely see their relationship as one of utilization and cooperation, rather than faith.
Providing tily aid during hardship is far more impactful than offering embellishnts during prosperity.
The plan was progressing gradually. If it went smoothly, the probability of Yuan Lin becoming his Class A believer was not small.
Wang Linchi was expending considerable manpower and resources to cultivate this nobody. If Yuan Lin were truly able to detect this or resist, Wang Linchi would accept it. After all, Wang Linchi didn’t believe he could control a person with such capabilities.
He did have a sense of his own limitations.
In fact, during these past few days, he had been constantly studying Yuan Lin.
If the Son of Destiny, who possesses the Luck of Heaven and Earth, is soone for whom ’when the ti is right, Heaven and Earth lend their power,’ then Hidden Dragon Yuan Lin, who possesses the Luck of All Beings, is more like soone helplessly caught in the grand current of events.
It’s not that things wouldn’t happen just because he wanted to refuse them.
The Son of Destiny is likely to achieve a ’prince and princess lived happily ever after’ ending. However, the Hidden Dragon is very likely to be a tragedy, experiencing everything from the destruction of his family and ho to the loss of his wife and children, a path full of hardships.
Yuan Lin was currently in this situation, completely blinded by hatred.
For at least the next six months, Yuan Lin should focus on self-developnt.
Yuan Lin was currently studying. He knew that without knowledge, he couldn’t accomplish anything. Even if he just wanted to kill, kill, kill, he still needed people under him.
As for the person teaching him, it was naturally one of Wang Linchi’s mory bodies. This mory body played the role of The Private School Teacher: an upright and kind man forced to join the rebellion, a believer in the Heaven Equivalent Benevolent Holy Emperor. He would periodically describe to Yuan Lin the changes before Wang Linchi’s arrival, during his presence, and after his death, subtly indoctrinating Yuan Lin. Currently, he was grooming Yuan Lin as his successor.
Whether this character’s storyline ends in direct death or involves more drama will depend on future developnts.
Wang Linchi observed the Luck of All Beings, which gave him a sense of grasping the general trends of the world. However, he could only perceive these major trends, not the minor ones. He estimated that understanding the latter would require combining it with Human Luck and the Luck of Heaven and Earth.
Unfortunately, he lacked the corresponding thods for Human Luck and the Luck of Heaven and Earth. Unless his abilities improved further, he could only vaguely sense them, not observe them in detail.
If Yuan Lin wanted to rebel, he couldn’t just act on impulse. He needed sufficient knowledge. Otherwise, with an empty mind, he would be no different from the current chaotic Rebel Armies, dood to fail sooner or later.
Wang Linchi quickly shifted his gaze to another place.
With nurous mory bodies deployed, he could know the affairs of the world without leaving his ho.
The Royal Family... no, it should be the Nine Extres Divine Palace, a very deeply hidden organization. Wang Linchi was also investigating the Royal Family.
In the eyes of Li Zheng and the others, the Royal Family had indeed withdrawn and left. However, to Wang Linchi, the traces they left behind were extrely obvious.
To deal with this organization, Wang Linchi directly dispatched his ga character.
The Saint Master was serving as his golden statue in the Mount Tai Temple. The only one free was the ga character. As for sending mory bodies, he was actually still sowhat uneasy.
Although the Nine Extres Divine Palace had destroyed the three hundred sixty-five Dai Temples in the Central Plains, they hadn’t touched the one on Mount Tai, seemingly out of apprehension, which was why it was preserved.
The ga character had not yet found specific intelligence on the Nine Extres Divine Palace, but had already infiltrated their ranks and was currently migrating with them.
It was now clear that the fall of dynasties was inextricably linked to this Nine Extres Divine Palace.
The ga character had also gleaned so information through indirect inquiries. In summary, these mysterious individuals, who called themselves disciples of the Nine Extres Sect, were all incredibly arrogant, acting as if they were second only to Heaven itself and looking down on everyone in the world.
Of course, this arrogance wasn’t the kind displayed by looking down their noses at everyone wherever they went. When executing missions, they would restrain their arrogance. For certain tasks, they could even play the roles of fawning house servants, filthy beggars, and so on.
Otherwise, if they truly acted so high and mighty all the ti, how could they maintain their mystery, and how could they have endured for so long?
Their arrogant attitude was reserved for private interactions with everyone; when on a mission, they were extrely professional.
Wang Linchi had also gathered so intelligence: this group seed to be involved in perpetuating the world itself.
Each ti, they sacrifice civilizations and Transcendental Systems to provide corresponding nourishnt for the world. Furthermore, they do so under the guidance of a certain individual, and this practice has apparently continued for many generations.
This ti, the appointed ti had co, and they were preparing to sacrifice Dajing.
As for who this guiding individual was, Wang Linchi also found out: a person nad Nine Extres. Otherwise, why would their organization be called the Nine Extres Divine Palace?
But there’s sothing strange about this Nine Extres, Wang Linchi mused.
According to the intelligence he had gathered, this Nine Extres had spanned several eras; his figure appeared in every dynasty. It was always the sa person, yet with a different identity each ti.
Longevity? That was unlikely. After all, under the Calamity of the Last Law, there was no possibility of anyone achieving true longevity; they would only be killed by it.
Wang Linchi was still alive because he wasn’t human. But from the descriptions, Nine Extres was a human.
Another transmigrator? Wang Linchi couldn’t help but think of Bai Changsheng. As a transmigrator, coupled with a Golden Finger, it was indeed possible to achieve such things.
The Nine Extres of Dajing has already been born. I need to find a way to identify who this person is. Things will be much easier after that.
If the other party could truly walk through history, then Wang Linchi... he was very envious.
From a power perspective, they likely wouldn’t be very strong, but their abilities must be exceedingly bizarre.
There are too few clues and too many possibilities. I estimate I’ll only be able to find out by entering the Nine Extres Divine Palace itself.
The Nine Extres Divine Palace, as a clandestine power capable of directly orchestrating dynastic changes, must surely have a corresponding headquarters.
Its location is likely a special space, similar to a ritual space or a god realm. To enter, one must find the entrance. Wang Linchi’s main body could indeed search for it ticulously, but that would be too inefficient.
It would be better to keep a close watch on this group of Nine Extres Sect disciples he had discovered and simply follow them to their doorstep.
