Rise Of The Worm Sovereign-Chapter 1046 Huang Weisheng

Hearing about the identity of Tim's original incarnation, Lin Wu was quiet shocked.

After all, he wasn't just any dragon, but the son of the Yellow Dragon Emperor himself!

As far as Lin Wu knew, the Yellow Dragon Emperor was already considered a god in several legends. And this wasn't the case where cultivators were called 'gods' or 'deities' but rather actual gods that had been worshipped by these very cultivators from times immemorial.

Even in the memories of the Skull god, there were plenty of mentions of the Yellow Dragon Emperor and the Yellow Dragon clan.

~huu~

Taking a deep breath Lin Wu calmed himself down and looked at the Yellow Dragon.

"So… What is your name and how did you end up cursed?" Lin Wu questioned.

"My name was Huang Weisheng. As for how I was cursed, I offended someone enough that they cursed me." The Yellow Dragon answered.

"That… doesn't really make sense. How can someone afford to curse the Son of the Yellow Dragon Emperor?" Lin Wu questioned.

"What if the person cursing is on the same level as the Yellow Dragon Emperor?" Huang Weisheng replied.

"That… does make sense. But still, your father should have still resisted right?" Lin Wu wondered.

"He did… the curse that I suffered was actually the lesser punishment." Huang Weisheng stated.

"This was a lesser punishment?! Then what was the original one?" Lin Wu couldn't believe it.

"Eradication of my soul and removal from the cycle of reincarnation." Huang Weisheng replied.

~gasp~

Lin Wu could only imagine the level of cultivation needed to do something like that. He knew that even if someone was killed and their nascent soul was destroyed, their True Soul would still exist. The only thing would be that it would depart from the world of the living and enter the netherworld, eventually reaching the cycle of reincarnation.

If one wanted to break this order, they needed a lot of skills and a high cultivation base. One could technically delay it, but truly erasing the existence of a soul was the same as going against the laws of heavens.

"You must've really offended them for them to exact this level of punishment." Lin Wu spoke.

"You can say that…" Huang Weisheng seemed hesitant. "It's a thing of the past, it's best not to dig up old Karma that has passed." He said after taking a pause.

"Alright… Still for your punishment to have been turned into a curse… what exactly is it?" Lin Wu inquired. "It isn't just something as simple as a decrease in intelligence, is it?" he could guess.

"Indeed." Huang Weisheng nodded before waving his claw and creating a thousand runes in an instant.

The runes turned into a formation screen that showed an illusion.

"The curse was supposed to break my 'Providence'. I who was born as the one of the geniuses was cursed to become mediocre. I was cursed to suffer different forms of mediocrity and would continue to do so, until I had sufficiently overcome them." Huang Weisheng spoke as the illusion started to form.

Lin Wu saw as the Dragon Form of Huang Weisheng turned into a wisp of soul before being sent into what looked like an endless river. This river flowed for a long time, before a drop from it splashed out and appeared in a world.

It was invisible to all beings and entered into the belly of a human woman.

"And as the first trial of mediocrity, I was reduced from the high and mighty Dragon prince to a lowly child of a mortal peasant." Huang Weisheng revealed.

Lin Wu saw the life of Huang Weisheng's human reincarnation at a rapid speed. He could see him cultivating to become an immortal before he eventually perished and was sent into the cycle of reincarnation.

In the second reincarnation, he was born as a demon.

"In the second trial of mediocrity, I was lowered from the righteous Yellow Dragon clan to the race of the Demonic Path." Huang Weisheng stated as the illusion showed his life as a demon.

He didn't live long in this, and was eventually killed by a cultivator of the righteous path. The cycle of reincarnation repeated, and he was reborn as a beast this time.

One by one, Huang Weisheng explained the different forms that he was born as well as the trials of mediocrity he had to endure. This continued until he finally reached the thirty sixth reincarnation, which was the Copper Hide Weasel, Tim.

"In the latest reincarnation, the trial of mediocrity I am meant to endure is that of Intelligence." Huang Weisheng spoke.

"But Tim's intelligence is improving in this. It's certainly better than when I met him the first time." Lin Wu replied. "Why's that? It's quite different from your past reincarnations." He asked in doubt.

"Indeed. I think the reason is that I am at the end of my trails." Huang Weisheng replied. "Which means that I should be able to recover it entirely in this one."

"No wonder…" Lin Wu muttered. "Is that also why the Soul Plane was opened?" he questioned after thinking.

"That's probably why. All that you see right now was done by my father. While he couldn't fully stall the curse, he still managed to find ways to help me. He sealed memories in my true soul that would not be erased, even upon rebirth. They would merely stay sealed until the right time came." Huang Weisheng explained.

Lin Wu nodded, as he could now understand the reasoning.

"Wait… your father interfered in your punishment and added some things…" Lin Wu suddenly recalled something. f𝓇𝘦𝒆𝘄𝑒𝗯𝑛𝗼ѵ𝙚l.𝒄𝘰𝓶

'Back when Tim had broken through to the Dao Shell realm and the sealed being had broken, though, another presence had assisted in sealing it again. It had also spoken to me…' Lin Wu recalled the pair of eyes that he had seen.

The eyes had shone like yellow garnets and looked quite imposing.

"Now that I think about it… they are almost the same as your eyes." He muttered.
