Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

Chapter 668 - The Changing Destinies



In total, Lin Wu had eaten three Nascent soul realm Four Winged Guna griffins and one Dao Shell realm one. He watched as the final notification for the spirit Qi popped up once he had finished eating it all.

~DING~

——

SPIRIT QI OBTAINED: 14,142,186 units [Liquid spirit Qi]

      SPIRIT QI STORAGE: 29,998,136  units [liquid spirit qi] -> 44,140,322 units [liquid spirit qi] 

VITAL ESSENCE OBTAINED: 2,984,617 Units

VITAL ESSENCE STORAGE: 22,239,909 Units -> 25,224,526 Units

——

This increase was substantial for Lin Wu and he had gained almost 50% of the spirit Qi that he already had in the spirit Qi storage. Though the increase in vital essence was still less due to the side effect of poison.

"Damn, this is just too tempting." Lin Wu said.

He felt a little greedy and wondered if he really should go on a beast hunting spree. But the temptation soon faded away as he remembered the problems he would be bringing along with them.

'I mean… I don't necessarily have to go on a killing spree. As long as I space them out, it shouldn't really matter as much.' Lin Wu thought to himself.

Lin Wu knew about how the beings in an ecosystem mattered and if he really did  what he was thinking of, it would end up greatly disturbing it. He didn't want to bring more problems when there was no need for them.

This would not only threaten the others but himself as well. He had already seen how the Southern Tusk Tapirs had to migrate and couldn't go to other areas nearby due to them being occupied by strong beasts.

This led to them entering the millennium forest and causing the war. While this was a slightly distant example, a lot more things similar to this could happen as well. He didn't want a headache where it could be avoided.

~Sigh~

"I shouldn't get carried away. They say cultivation needs patience and a steady heart; I've already sped through the cultivation realms rather fast in the past few years. I dunno if I've made mistakes in that either entirely." Lin Wu muttered to himself.

This gave him a lot to think about, and he spent a while on that. But in the end, he simply decided to cultivate and clear his mind.

'Just keep my eyes on the goal and refrain from the rest.' Lin Wu thought to himself as he circulated the Taiji Dual Unity Scripture's spirit Qi circuits and cultivated.

Spirit Qi surrounded his body and started being absorbed into it steadily. Lin Wu soon entered the flow and forgot about everything else, being entirely focused on cultivating. This state was hard for him to explain, it was as if everything else faded away and only spirit Qi existed for him.

Minutes turned into hours, and hours turned into days. 

Lin Wu's cultivation session was tacitly understood by his servants and they knew not to disturb him in that time. Only when something importance came up would they even do something.

Plus over the years, they had been getting more and more proficient at handling things. The books and other educational materials Lin Wu had given them were actually being used by the beasts.

The Emeraldine Monkeys were obviously the ones learning the most and had greater intelligence compared to most beasts. Plus, two of them were even teaching this to the other beasts, becoming their teachers and conducting classes.

The best thing was that they were doing this on their own without actually being ordered to do so. It wasn't something that bothered Lin Wu thus he didn't even bother checking it. Additionally it was not something the system would report to him either since it didn't cause any trouble.

Lin Wu had alerts set for the system whenever something important or problematic happened. And something like the Emeraldine Monkey's teaching others was not considered in it.

In addition to that, there was a new generation of beasts being born in the forest. It was something happening all over the forest and was only sped up due to the increasing spirit Qi of the forest.

First were the insect beasts being born in the territory of the Split Thorn Horn Beetle king, then there were the other monkey beasts being born in the Slim Arm Ape King's territory. The strangest thing though, was the fact that they were stronger than the earlier generations.

Right from the start, they were nourished in higher concentration of spirit Qi, and additional got to consume better resources if they lived in Lin Wu's influence or his subordinates.

Lin Wu's orders to farm and cultivate spirit herbs and fruits had helped the beasts' progress quite a bit and they were now doing it voluntarily. They were finding the merits in it as they didn't need to search for them and could get them whenever they wanted in a set location.

Of course, it was not free and there was a certain price involved. The beasts were not on the level of humans yet, of course, so they either bartered or paid in labor. There was always the need to expand the farms and orchards, thus the beasts could help in plowing the soil, as well as other tasks.

Even the dung of several beasts was useful, and they could use that as manure to fertilize the soil. As a shock to those beasts, they ended up becoming a bit 'richer' as they could simply sell their own dung in exchange for resources.

Unknowingly, Lin Wu's presence had  greatly brought forth the state of the forest. The beasts had gotten stronger, while also getting peaceful at the same time. The increased intelligence and knowledge was also allowing them to do more things.

This wasn't even his goal originally, but Lin Wu had ended up making something that would soon be a shocking thing for the entire Ming Dao world.. The inhabitants of the forest didn't know this either and had special destinies to follow.
