Wang Linchi had not yet reached the end of the underground world. He was not exploring it on his own but was being flown by the Saint Master. This further confirmed his belief that the entire underground world was interconnected and that the deeper he went, the further underground he traveled. Three hundred meters could only be considered the most superficial point of contact. Moreover, it was an outer region with few life forms, most of which had adapted to the darkness. As Wang Linchi ventured deeper, he encountered many colossal subterranean creatures. He realized that an ecosystem, distinct from the surface world, had evolved in this underworld.
After exploring the underworld for half a day, Wang Linchi halted his expedition and found a secure place to stop. He did so because he had accumulated enough of the Power of Chaos Rules to begin creating his fifth Soul Kind. He chose not to return to the surface, as it was thoroughly chaotic, making it nearly impossible to find a safe location.
In the underground world, some unknown force seemed to isolate the Erroneous Sin. This barrier restrained its ability to spread effectively, preventing the Game System and Fallen Players from extending their influence there. If the Game System managed to obtain the Amber, that would be a different story. Therefore, the subterranean realm was far safer than the surface.
Crafting this fifth Soul Kind would undoubtedly take a considerable amount of time—at least three months. If he were in the Soul Aspect World with Soul Kind materials, he could complete it in three days. However, that wasn't possible here, so he had to rely solely on his own efforts. Completing it within three months was already a significant achievement. This speed was already remarkably fast. After all, it was a Mythology-level task; it was never going to be easy.
After that, he went into seclusion, focusing entirely on his task.
Three months passed in the blink of an eye. The progress was very satisfactory; at least his data aligned with his expectations, and no problems arose. If he were to fail, Wang Linchi would be in deep trouble. His Gamer Character and the Protagonist's Aura were one-time-use items. The Gamer Character, in particular, was unique—essentially irreplaceable. Re-acquiring its equipment, pets, mounts, Cards, and so on would be as difficult as Wang Linchi himself trying to kill the Game System.
The Protagonist's Aura was also difficult to gather. Ye Tian was still alive. Wang Linchi could pay a certain price and then have the Saint Master subject Ye Tian to another harsh lesson to gather enough. However, he could only obtain Ye Tian's, as the Fate Devil God's destiny had already fused into Ye Tian's body.
Next was the embedding process. Wang Linchi proceeded with extreme caution to avoid any mishaps. Only after its successful completion did he finally sigh in relief.
[Fate System Soul Kind·Destiny (Mythology Level)]
[Man of Strong Luck: All related Destiny, Constant Force, Blessings, etc., are amplified +100%]
[All Embracing: Merge and devour Fate, Blessings, Constant Force, Luck Contribution, etc., to strengthen one's Destiny]
[Reincarnation: Can charge through spiritual power, fame, power, Destiny, Blessings, etc., to seek other worlds and traverse once]
[Born Extraordinary: Upon entering a world, multiple identities will become available based on one's Destiny to choose as a substitute]
[Gamer Character: After choosing an identity, it will be replaced by a Gamer Character for data protection and rule adaptation]
[Data Rules: When the world maintains both Order and Chaos rule power, manifests game rules to enhance protective strength and rule adaptation speed]
[Body of Destiny: Lifespan will be additionally supplemented with Destiny value]
[Stabilize Luck: When your luck is fluctuating downwards, it cannot fall below your basic luck]
[Strengthen Stable Fortune: Stabilize Luck effect +100%]
[Undying Wisdom: At the time of death, you can consume all your Destiny to resurrect once on your own terms; the more Destiny consumed, the better the effect]
The successful embedding of the Destiny Soul Kind was just the beginning. Wang Linchi soon linked this Soul Kind with the Mind Ladder, Spiritual Corridor, Soul Courtyard, and Thought Hall to form a new Soul Kind Resonance Technology. However, the Destiny Soul Kind did not participate in the Thought Hall's combination. Although the Thought Hall would change due to the addition or alteration of Soul Kinds, its combination partners were fixed as the Mind Ladder, Spiritual Corridor, and Soul Courtyard; subsequent additions of Soul Kinds would not change this.
The effect entry 'Man of Strong Luck' was transformed from the Strong Luck talent he originally possessed. It didn't just amplify the Destiny Soul Kind; effects like the True Dragon Saint Master's Blessing, Soul Absorption, True Dragon Descending, and all of Saint Master Coiling Dragon's abilities were also doubled by this entry.
The 'All Embracing' ability allowed Wang Linchi to integrate the temporary Protagonist's Aura, which the Saint Master had devoured, making its luck his own. Otherwise, the luck gained this way wouldn't truly be his. After all, the luck from a Protagonist's Aura is no ordinary thing. Without this effect, he truly wouldn't be able to assimilate it.
'Reincarnation' and 'Born Extraordinary' were abilities from the Cycle Remnant Mark. The former handled charging, searching, and traversing, while the latter enabled him to acquire a good identity. This function no longer consumed Destiny; instead, it was based on Wang Linchi's own Destiny as a standard. The only downside was that it still required a cost. This cost was now spiritual power. The quantity and quality of identities depended on his own Destiny: the stronger his Destiny, the more and better identities would be available.
His Destiny had become a fixed value; he couldn't consume it even if he wanted to. Coupled with the 'Stabilize Luck' and 'Strengthen Stable Fortune' entries from the Destiny Soul Kind, his existing triple Stabilize Luck effects were further multiplied. Even if he wanted to lower his Destiny, there was likely no way to do so.
Wang Linchi intended the 'Gamer Character' and 'Data Rules' abilities for self-preservation. Different worlds could prevent him from adapting. He had been lucky this time; the current world had a high power ceiling, even if he couldn't fully utilize his strength yet. But if he ended up in a world where he couldn't grow stronger, or where all Transcendent abilities were nullified, he would be completely done for. With these two abilities, as long as a world possessed both Order and Chaos, he could use his Gamer Character to get by for a while, allowing him to adapt quickly or even use it as a second life. After all, the Gamer Character acted like a shell, fully digitalizing him, eliminating weaknesses, and serving as a combat method.
There were downsides, of course. Each time he switched worlds, his Gamer Character's level would be reset. His equipment, mounts, Skills, and so on would no longer be at their maximum effectiveness but would be tied to his current level, gradually unlocking as he leveled up. Furthermore, he couldn't gain attribute points or skill points; attribute gains from leveling up were fixed. There was no quest system, and killing monsters wouldn't yield any drops—at most, he could gain Experience. This Experience was primarily used to level up the Gamer Character and couldn't be applied to his true self unless the Gamer Character reached its maximum level.
However, the advantages were also numerous. For instance, upon entering a new world, the attribute and skill points his Gamer Character would normally have gained were instead converted into Cultivation speed and Potential positions. Although Potential positions had a cap, this saved him research time. Secondly, its Growth rate was extremely fast. If he adapted to a new world, he could continuously level up without even needing to kill monsters, until the Gamer Character's maximum strength was restored. Furthermore, it could create synergistic effects with the first four Soul Kinds through Soul Kind Resonance Technology. These two new entries ('Gamer Character' and 'Data Rules') had served as the breakthrough point; success wouldn't have been guaranteed otherwise. Lastly, the Gamer Character's digitalization eliminated weaknesses and allowed for revival after death.
This revival wasn't referring to the 'Undying Wisdom' effect or resurrection via the Soul Shadow·Book of Records, but a simple resurrection through the Gamer Character itself. He had constructed a sort of local network; upon death, he could re-form by consuming the Gamer Character's Experience Value. At first glance, these three resurrection methods seemed to overlap. And indeed they did, to some extent. However, their activation mechanisms differed. The Gamer Character's resurrection mechanism would activate first, being the lowest cost and fastest method. Second was the 'Undying Wisdom' resurrection. If the Gamer Character's revival failed, he could opt for a remote or delayed revival using this. If he died again after that without enough Destiny to consume for 'Undying Wisdom', he would have to rely on the Book of Records' resurrection effect as his ultimate fallback. Who would complain about having too many ways to resurrect?
As for 'Body of Destiny', its effect was the simplest and most direct: as long as his Destiny didn't reach zero, it was practically indistinguishable from immortality. If his Destiny did run out, he would only have his original lifespan remaining. Besides, if his Destiny was depleted, it would mean he had already used 'Undying Wisdom', implying he had encountered an unbeatable enemy, rendering any amount of lifespan useless.
One could say 'Undying Wisdom' did have a drawback: its activation priority was too high, bypassing effects like 'Stabilize Luck' and 'Constant Force'. This meant he couldn't, for example, exploit a bug using 'Stabilize Luck' to resurrect without cost. After all, resurrection always had a price. The Gamer Character's revival consumed Experience Value, which was acquired externally. 'Undying Wisdom' consumed Destiny. And the Book of Records consumed resources such as spiritual power, Physique, or Power of Mind as its cost.
