Chapter 731 731: Thousand Years Time, Six Paths of Reincarnation Cycle System_1
"The Way of Heaven and Human, the protagonist's path within the Virtue Career System; the Mortal Way, used for nurturing worlds; and the Asura Path, which maintains harmony.""The Hell Path, formed by the invading Family; the Hungry Ghost Path, used to devour everything; and the Animal Path, for restarting civilizations and bringing about the end of worlds."
Having spent a thousand years in the Green Nether Fairyland, Wang Linchi had finally completed his Six Paths of Reincarnation. The entire Six Paths of Reincarnation was crafted from the Green Nether Fairyland and was now worn by him, becoming a part of his very being.
In addition, he had integrated all the lower worlds into the Six Paths of Reincarnation, forming a complete cyclical process.
From the harvesting of civilizations to the restarting of worlds, anything that could no longer generate value would ultimately be returned to the furnace.
However, the current Six Paths of Reincarnation could not yet affect worlds in this way; a valueless world would only be devoured. This was not what Wang Linchi desired. His plan for "returning to the furnace" involved reshaping valueless worlds, ultimately transforming them into entirely new ones.
This, too, was merely one stage. The final stage would be his ability to produce worlds himself, creating an endless cycle.
Yet, both of these stages were still very distant for him.
Let alone transforming a valueless world into a valuable one, even its current state was just a half-finished product.
Wang Linchi had not practiced the initial stages, so he didn't know if the Six Paths of Reincarnation had met his preliminary objectives.
His initial goal was simple: if he couldn't have worlds return to the furnace for reforging, then he would directly incorporate all worlds into the Six Paths of Reincarnation through invasion, colonization, and enslavement.
Once he took down the Chaotic God World, he could initiate a new hunting mode.
"The first step is to conduct a probe."
Wang Linchi retrieved the History of Time. He currently possessed three pieces of equipment, or rather, his System comprised three parts.
First was the History of Time. Originating from the Book of Records, it had been with him all along, embodying his Cultivation and Growth system. This included Fanciful and Fickle, the Tai Mountain Seal, the Soul Seed, and other such things.
Next was the Civilization Computer, an auxiliary component formed from civilizations, Fate, rules, numerous protagonists, and more.
Lastly, there was the newly formed Six Paths of Reincarnation, equipped for external aggression, harvesting, and serving as his outer armor.
Though distinct, these three parts were complementary; lacking any one of them would render the System inoperable.
The Six Paths of Reincarnation, for instance, required the History of Time for its energy supply and the Civilization Computer for support and computational power enhancement. In return, the Six Paths of Reincarnation could provide corresponding hardware augmentation and resource feedback.
Therefore, although his System had three parts, it was essentially a single, integrated entity—merely an extension of his own world.
"The probe has two parts. The first is to use the Quantum Slingshot to launch lower worlds as cover and conduct the initial probe."
The Quantum Slingshot was a special technology Wang Linchi used to launch small worlds as projectiles. It had only two capabilities: first, to propel a world by expending minimal energy to release maximum kinetic force; second, it possessed the ability to lock onto and track worlds.
The reason for the name "Quantum Slingshot" stemmed from Wang Linchi's peculiar sense of humor—imagining worlds being felled by a slingshot.
The quirky addition of "quantum" to its name led people to believe it was highly advanced technology, but in reality, it was all metaphysics.
"The second part is the initial bait: use a foreign invasion to test the world's reactions."
"Currently, the Heaven and Man Five Decay will act as the vanguard. They possess sufficient strength and will prevent the enemy from recognizing them as mere bait."
"Moreover, they can target and strike at the enemy's system."
The fundamental role of the Heaven and Man Five Decay, upon entering a world, was to damage its rules and its Rules. This indirectly shattered the Transcendental System, thereby neutralizing the world's martial power.
If this stage was enough to subdue the world, then no further steps would be necessary; Wang Linchi could simply go and take possession.
But if the opponent resisted fiercely, and the damage to their rules and Rules was limited, then the second part would be required.
The true combat forces would need to enter the field.
The true trump card in Wang Linchi's hand was not the Merit Giant or the entirely new Family formed by memory entities, but the protagonist army composed entirely of Sons of Destiny.
This Son of Destiny army—composed of a series of protagonists like the Shadow of the Great Ruins·Yan Ming King, the Way of Sky God·Ye Tian, the Eternal Spirit Master·Bai Changsheng, and the Endless War God·Bai Xuan, among others—was an extremely powerful force in combat and strategy.
Once these individuals entered the fray, they could not only sow Disorder in the world's judgment but also continuously absorb everything from the world through slaughter. Combined with their combat Talent, very few could stand against them.
If even the protagonist army lost, Wang Linchi himself would step in, attempting to turn the tables and perhaps gain some extra benefits. If that failed, he would retreat.
The entire strategy focused on leveraging strength to overwhelm the weak. It would be foolish to recklessly confront a stronger opponent.
"These two procedures should be enough to probe the situation in the Chaotic God World."
Wang Linchi wasn't actually worried about the Chaotic God World deliberately setting a trap. Whether he used the Quantum Slingshot to hurl worlds for a concussive strike against the Chaotic God World or sent in the Heaven and Man Five Decay, as long as a stalemate was reached, the opponent's reaction could be determined.
As for the enemy deliberately not resisting to lure him deeper, that was a different matter, though such situations were exceedingly rare.
It's like this: first, I'd give the enemy a stunning blow to the back of the head, almost knocking their brains out. Then, I'd stab them in the heart a dozen times with a dagger, leaving them near death. And they'd call *that* luring the enemy in?
If both those attacks landed perfectly, yet the critically wounded enemy could still strike back instead of collapsing, then I'd have to concede. After all, if they're that formidable, what else could I do? I'd just have to endure their blows and then send them on their way.
If the target was alive, they would immediately try to counter when Wang Linchi launched a small world at them with the Quantum Slingshot.
If they caught the small world or even threw it back, Wang Linchi would flee instantly; that would mean the enemy was very powerful.
But if they were hit by the World Stone Throw, it meant he had a chance to win. Then, he'd need to assess the extent of the damage.
If it's a concussion, I have a good chance, so I'll strike relentlessly.
If their brains are spilling out, I can call it a day.
But if it's just a scratch, I'll have to carefully consider whether to engage this apparently tough opponent.
As for other situations, he could only react based on the enemy's response.
Beyond that, there wasn't much more he could do.
"Notify them to prepare the Quantum Slingshot. Target coordinates..." Wang Linchi directly issued the command via the Civilization Computer. A large amount of data appeared, which he verified item by item.
This sort of task definitely couldn't be left solely to the Civilization Computer.
Subsequently, the History of Time in his hand began to flip its pages, providing support to the Civilization Computer and the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
"Perform secondary calibration!"
Wang Linchi certainly wouldn't calibrate just once. Using the Quantum Slingshot consumed an entire world each time; it wasn't cheap.
If it missed and hit nothing, that would be acceptable. But if it struck some strange entity and attracted unwanted attention, that would be troublesome.
After all, this was the Void, not a world where he would have its protection.
Fortunately, Wang Linchi's physical frame wasn't large. Using the History of Time, he compressed himself to the size of an average human. The world within him, however, didn't shrink; it was merely condensed using the spatial and temporal techniques of the History of Time.
"Third time..."
Wang Linchi calibrated a total of ten times. There would undoubtedly be discrepancies across the ten data sets, but they were all within tolerable limits and wouldn't affect the final outcome.
The Void was constantly changing; Wang Linchi couldn't possibly account for all variables. If he truly had that ability, he wouldn't need to calibrate at all; any throw would hit its mark.
With the final calibration successful, a dark light surfaced on Wang Linchi's hand. A world, compressed to the size of a pebble, was launched.
The moment it was launched, the world began to decompress, its original size inflating rapidly. Within seconds, it returned to normal. Yet, its speed didn't decrease; instead, it accelerated, Roaring towards its target like a rampaging bull.
"Initiate World Stone Throw monitoring program..." After Wang Linchi spoke, the data before him updated, and he gained access to the telemetry and control of this World Stone Throw.
Wang Linchi naturally had the corresponding control authority, allowing him to manage the general trajectory and make minor adjustments. He couldn't just launch it and be done with it.
