19: Lin Fei is awake!

Struck by five bolts of lightning, his face twisted in disbelief.

Lu Chen couldn't believe what his ears were hearing.

What? Lin Fei is awake?!

How is this possible!!

He had personally witnessed Lin Fei turn to ash; how could he be awake!

There were only two possibilities!

First, a Transmigrator, even if they die in a Small World, their Soul consciousness will return to reality;

Second, he hadn't truly killed Lin Fei, and his Soul particles had returned to reality through the space-time vortex.

"Lu Chen?? Are you listening?"

On the other end of the line, Lin Wan sensed something was wrong. Logically, since he and Lin Fei were friends, shouldn't he be happy?

Lu Chen forced a smile: "Th-that's wonderful, I'm, I'm so excited! How is he now? I'll go to the hospital to see him as soon as I have time!!"

Lin Wan's voice trembled: "The doctor said it's a medical miracle. Lin Fei's body is like a normal person's, no, the doctor said it's even better than a normal person's, it's just..."

Lin Wan choked up a little: "It's just that his brain seems to have some issues. He's extremely agitated, constantly shouting about 'Emperor Qin!' 'Snow White!' and all sorts of incomprehensible things, even wanting to fight the Heavenly Dao. The doctor gave him a sedative, and he slowly calmed down."

It's over! It's completely over!!

Lu Chen's face was ashen to the extreme!!

Not only did this Lin Fei return alive, but he also retained all his memories.

However, from Lin Wan's description, his Cultivation was not retained; otherwise, with Lin Fei's Ascension Realm, how could a mere sedative control him?

Fortunately, from beginning to end, he had never revealed his true form, only an arm. Lin Fei couldn't possibly recognize him just from an arm, could he?

Lu Chen consoled her: "It's nothing, Lin Wan. It's normal for the brain to be confused after two days of coma. He just needs a few more days of rest."

Lin Wan nodded repeatedly: "Yes, I owe all this to you. Thank you for getting him to the hospital in time. When my brother wakes up, I'll bring him to thank you in person."

"No need at all! It was just a small matter. What's most important now is for Lin Fei to rest. *cough, cough* Uh, I have something else to do, we'll talk next time!"

With that, Lu Chen quickly hung up the phone.

His heart couldn't calm down for a long time.

If Lin Fei knew that the Heavenly Dao was him, he would definitely kill him.

After all, Lin Fei had lived in the great qin civilization for five hundred years; emotionally, he was already a person of the great qin civilization.

He still had his beautiful wife and descendants there.

What Lu Chen was most worried about now was that Lin Fei possessed complete Cultivation Techniques. Once Lin Fei woke up, even if he had lost all his Cultivation, he could start Cultivating from scratch.

If he were to Cultivate to the Spirit Transformation Realm or above and awaken his Divine Sense, he would definitely find him.

Just do it!

In for a penny, in for a pound!

Should he go to the hospital and assassinate him?!

Lu Chen chuckled helplessly. He had watched too many movies. Hospitals were full of surveillance cameras; how could he kill him without anyone knowing?

Unless!!

Unless he quickly created the next civilization and then created an Incarnation!

As long as the Incarnation Cultivated, he could obtain one ten-thousandth of the Incarnation's Cultivation.

By then, he could kill from a distance!!

Who would suspect him then!

Not a second to lose!!

Lu Chen quickly checked his information.

heavenly dao system (Cultivation Template)

Rank: Rank 3

heavenly dao energy: 3127 / 10000

Upgrading to the next Rank requires ten thousand energy!

The higher the Rank, the more energy required.

Open the Small World, format the data, and inject the Cultivation Template seed!

As the Cultivation Template data was imported, millions of years passed in the entire Small World almost instantly.

Until humans were born.

The sixth civilization! Officially launched!!

[This civilization will activate two Heavenly Dao entries—]

[Martial Soul Awakening]: All Cultivators who reach eighteen years of age will Awaken a Martial Soul, which can be an animal, plant, artifact, etc.

[Spiritual Qi Tide]: A Spiritual Qi Tide erupts every hundred years, increasing Spiritual Qi concentration by a hundredfold, and Cultivation speed by a hundredfold. At the center of special tides, it can be even faster!!

Seeing these two entries, Lu Chen frowned, feeling that this civilization would be troublesome. For now, he named it the martial soul civilization.

[Do you wish to create an Incarnation now?]

Lu Chen had an idea: So, he didn't have to create one now?

System: Of course, the host can choose to create it at any point in time. Once created, it cannot be interfered with.

Humans had only just appeared, living like savages, and Cultivation Techniques had not yet been born.

Lu Chen naturally couldn't choose to create one at this time. It was possible that it would die within a few years of birth, and he would suffer a great loss.

This Incarnation was crucial. Lu Chen could obtain one ten-thousandth of the Incarnation's Cultivation. Its importance even surpassed harvesting civilizations!

[Do not create]

Lu Chen decided to wait until the civilization developed to its Middle Stage before creating one. By then, the Cultivation System and social structure should be stable.

He was hungry.

Lu Chen stir-fried some tomatoes and eggs and served them over white rice.

So delicious!!

Lu Chen ate and observed.

Humans gradually evolved from primitive tribes, living on raw meat and blood, into a nascent civilization centered around Martial Souls.

Some Awaken a hoe as their Martial Soul, capable of tilling a hundred mu in a day.

Some Awaken rice, and with Spiritual power, the rice stalks grow wildly, yielding a thousand catties per mu, quickly making them tribal leaders.

Some Awaken a torch, with surging flames, easily repelling fierce beasts and becoming tribal guardians.

But at this time, the use of Martial Souls remained at the most basic stage.

There were no systematic Cultivation methods, no clear Rank divisions; everything relied on exploration.

There was nothing much to observe, so Lu Chen closed the Small World and continued eating his rice.

After eating and tidying up the table, a hundred years had passed in the Small World.

When he opened the Small World again, a key figure appeared—Boundless.

This person's Awakened Martial Soul was extremely special: a wordless heavenly book.

He spent decades researching the connection between Martial Souls and Spiritual power, and finally, during the first Spiritual Qi Tide eruption, he had an Epiphany of the Laws of Heaven and Earth, creating the Martial Soul Meridian Cultivation Art!

—This was the first Cultivation Technique of the martial soul civilization!

When the Spiritual Qi Tide erupted, the concentration of Spiritual power between heaven and earth surged a hundredfold. Boundless used this opportunity to Breakthrough to the Deity Transformation Realm, becoming the foremost person of his time!

However, Boundless did not, like powerful Cultivators in other civilizations, monopolize resources and suppress the masses. Instead, he freely spread Cultivation methods, allowing more people to embark on the path of Cultivation.

"Interesting..." Lu Chen narrowed his eyes, "This guy is a true Dao preacher."

In the next hundred years, a hundred flowers bloomed, and countless Sects rose.

Shennong Valley, with spirit plant Martial Souls at its core, cultivated spirit rice and Spirit Medicine, monopolizing Cultivation resources.

Burning Heaven Sect, exclusively recruited fire-attribute Martial Soul Cultivators. The Sect's grand formation consisted of nine giant flaming swords, awe-inspiring across the region.

Myriad Beast Gate, only recruited Cultivators who Awakened animal Martial Souls. The Sect was divided into fierce beast, flying bird, mutated, and other lineages, with hundreds of thousands of Disciples, making it the largest School in terms of numbers.

There were also other Schools like Heavenly Secret Pavilion, Peerless City, Hundred Flowers Palace, and so on, over a thousand Schools.

The tribal era completely ended, replaced by the rule of Sects, aristocratic families, and powerful clans.

The strong occupied Spiritual Veins, the weak depended for survival, the Cultivation System gradually perfected, and the martial soul civilization officially entered its Golden Age!

However, just as the martial soul civilization was flourishing.

Boundless, the foremost person of his time, mysteriously disappeared, leaving behind a riddle—"Martial Souls are inherently shackles, and the tides are all bait. The sea of suffering is Boundless, turning back is the shore! Do not Cultivate!"

These words immediately sparked speculation across the land.

Some guessed that Boundless had already achieved Immortal Ascension and discovered the secrets of a higher world, which is why he advised them not to Cultivate.

Others scoffed at Boundless, accusing him of playing god. He created the Cultivation Techniques, and now he was telling people not to Cultivate, surely because he was afraid of being surpassed.

"This guy... did he discover something?" Lu Chen frowned.

Lock onto Boundless, Heavenly Dao Eye, observe.

In the solitary pavilion at dusk, the copper bells hanging from the eaves were silent in the wind.

Boundless looked up at the sky, his robes moving without a breeze.

As he gestured with two fingers, his Martial Soul—the wordless heavenly book—was summoned.

Lu Chen felt that this book was a bit strange. He used his Heavenly Dao Eye to examine it.

The wordless heavenly book suddenly vibrated violently!

The pages flipped on their own, and the blank paper burst forth with a strong light like molten gold tearing silk. A line of golden characters ripped through the Void Realm: "Heavenly Dao! Are you watching!!"

What!!

What's going on with this Boundless?

It's only been two hundred years?? He discovered him already?!
