Worldwide Awakening: My Soul Kinds Are Lost-Chapter 601: Compromise, Madness under the Ark_1

The Federation's compromise, coupled with Wang Linchi's deliberate cooperation, led to the ultimate implementation of the Ark Project.

This matter naturally stirred up a significant commotion within the Federation. No matter how much it was glorified, the various cruel aspects of the plan could not be concealed.

However, once word of the Annihilation Disaster leaked out, everything began to calm down.

The Federation announced that citizens unwilling to participate in the Ark Project would be permitted to seek alternative paths, provided they adhered to Federation law.

In other words, if you were unwilling, the Federation would abandon you.

This policy ultimately pacified many who had intended to cause trouble, and the anticipated disturbances did not occur.

They simply wanted to vent their frustrations, not to die.

Especially since, after transforming their energy, they could obtain nearly immortal lifespans. The sole drawback might be forsaking their physical bodies for eternity. As for the future use of a physical body, it wouldn't be affected at all. To those who had undergone energy transformation, the physical body was merely a useless husk shed in the process.

Under the Federation's guidance, a large number of people began to undergo energy transformation, leading to the creation of a batch of brand-new life forms.

During this guided process, several large-scale conflicts erupted. However, they were all suppressed, and the Anti-Federation Organizations that intentionally instigated these conflicts were reduced to ashes.

Those who had undergone energy transformation were the ones who took action. They possessed unique powers, enabling them to traverse electronic devices, guide magnetic fields to generate various elemental attacks, and even attain a powerful form of immortality. Even when facing a Heroic Spirit, they could not be completely killed. At most, they would be disintegrated into magnetic field fragments, only to revive after some time by drawing upon the human magnetic field.

These numerous abilities drove everyone into a frenzy. All desired to grasp such immense power rather than remain ordinary individuals.

The price was their now-useless physical body? That was utterly negligible.

In an instant, the entire Federation plunged into madness.

Bai Xuan opened his eyes, fatigue etched on his expression. He was constantly on the run, hiding. Not long ago, he had uncovered the entire truth. The Federation's Elder Group seemed to have noticed his peculiarities. However, this was not a favorable development for him, so he had decided to leave before they could make a move.

After acquiring the Summoning Medium in the black market through ruthless interception and killing, he commenced his simulations.

This time, he spent half a month, undergoing a total of 150 simulations. With the assistance of the System panel, he completed his final Heroic Spirit simulation.

The gains were exceedingly bountiful. All Cultivation Techniques, Abilities, and Talents on the System panel were maxed out, especially the Nine Revolutions Inner Pellet Technique.

However, he discovered that the nine pellets and nine revolutions of the Nine Revolutions Inner Pellet Technique were not the endpoint. There seemed to be another level above it, but he lacked the capability to break through.

Even his System panel was of no help; its Proficiency had become (0/1), meaning he was only a paper-thin barrier away from this highest level.

Yet, he was stuck there.

For other abilities that reached Fulfillment, if they couldn't be enhanced further, their Proficiency display would disappear, unlike the Nine Revolutions Inner Pellet Technique, which still showed a Proficiency level.

This proved that a higher level indeed existed above it.

The Federation is growing increasingly insane. Watching the latest news, particularly about the Ark Project, alarmed Bai Xuan and filled him with a sense of unease.

He actually wanted to stop it, but his strength was limited. Moreover, the Federation was still watching him. If he revealed himself, he would inevitably be affected. More importantly, his nine Heroic Spirits were all of Unparalleled Quality, which would undoubtedly make others even more covetous.

I need to gather the Awakening Materials to achieve ten Awakenings for the Heroic Spirits as quickly as possible. In this regard, he faced a difficult predicament.

The ninth Heroic Spirit's advancement, fueled by the accumulation of Awakening Materials, quickly caught up with the other eight.

All of them had undergone seven Awakenings. The Awakening Materials needed for ten Awakenings were astronomical. Even if Bai Xuan sold himself, he couldn't gather enough for all nine.

More importantly, each additional Heroic Spirit increased the required Awakening Materials by one hundred percent. His nine Heroic Spirits thus necessitated nine hundred percent more Awakening Materials.

Otherwise, why wouldn't other Summoners choose to summon more Heroic Spirits? It was because it demanded more Awakening Materials to manage the additional burden.

The quickest solution should be the Federation. A glint flashed in Bai Xuan's eyes.

Relying on himself to enter the Spacetime Rift area and farm them is unrealistic. Instead, targeting the Federation would be more beneficial. If he could intercept the Federation's Awakening Material Warehouse—not asking for much, just one—he could enable one of his Heroic Spirits to reach ten Awakenings. He could use this to accumulate, constantly snowballing.

Doing so would indeed cause irreparable damage to the Federation. However, what was the current situation? No matter how irreparable, could it be worse than the current Chaos? The Ark Project has turned the entire Federation into a veritable purgatory. In such a short time, two more Spacetime Rifts have appeared. At this rate, in just a few more months, the whole world might be in trouble. So, being able to look out for himself was already quite good.

The Federation's rule is still stable, but a large amount of manpower has been diverted, leaving the home front far more vulnerable than ever before.

Bai Xuan had actually formulated a plan long ago, but a plan was just a plan; actual execution was not so easy. This was especially true for the Awakening Materials needed for the ninth and tenth Awakenings, which were heavily protected by the Federation. Even if security was lax, it wasn't something he could just break into.

Therefore, he needed sufficient help—for example, his connections. The execution of the Ark Project had also considerably lessened the Federation's focus on him. As long as he was careful, he was unlikely to attract attention. What he needed to do was not to rob forcefully, but to obtain it through stealth, like a thief.

Once all my Heroic Spirits reach ten Awakenings, I must restore the Federation, not leave it in this toxic atmosphere. As for the Annihilation Disaster, he didn't even consider it a threat. Could other Summoners possess his level of strength? It was simply a matter of them not being strong enough.

[Destroy Disaster]

[Content: Halt the Ark Project or sabotage it]

[Reward: 100,000 Origin Points]

A mission that rewards 100,000 Origin Points? It must be because of the Elder Group. But where did technology like the Ark Project come from? The Federation had never heard of such heaven-defying technology, has it? Could it have been obtained from New Energy Heavy Industries? Bai Xuan quickly locked his target on New Energy Heavy Industries.

The disappearance of 'Wang Xianyu' had undoubtedly dealt a huge blow to the New Energy Group. Without 'Wang Xianyu', the influential president, to protect it, the entire group had been dismantled by the Federation, turning into countless smaller companies and departments.

Of course, most of the original employees had also resigned.

This also indirectly indicated that the matter had little to do with 'Wang Xianyu' and the New Energy Group. If there was a connection, how could they have ended up in this situation? So the culprits could only be the Elder Group; the council wouldn't have enough authority. After all, the Elder Group was the mastermind behind the investigation and pursuit of him; naturally, he held considerable resentment towards them. He even suspected that 'Wang Xianyu' was already dead; otherwise, how could he not have shown up by now?

「 」

"The Ark Project is just too insane..." The Great Elder's expression was filled with regret. He had never thought its progress would cause everything to spiral out of control.

The current Ark Project was long out of the control of the council and the Elder Group. Because energized humans had become a new form of life, everyone was forcefully pushing the entire Ark Project forward. Even if they wanted to stop it, they lacked sufficient power.

Some energized humans had infiltrated the Federation's strong artificial intelligence through their unique properties and obtained the entire project's contents.

This content was rapidly copied and transmitted among the entire population of energized humans. Therefore, any energized human knew how to execute the plan.

The Great Elder stated, "The leak is already a fact and cannot be undone."

"Our current priority is to confirm if Wang Xianyu is still concealing anything."

"If he's not concealing anything, then he can be executed," the Third Elder said, his face grim.

Yes, the Elder Group had never intended to let Wang Linchi go from the very beginning. He knew too much. What if he eventually used some technology from the Super Tech System to directly control the collective consciousness of all energized beings? He would become the ruler then, a point no one could accept. The best approach was to feign cooperation, wait until he had no more value, and then eliminate him. Only then could everyone rest easy.

"Verification is still underway; it won't be that quick," Elder Jia You remarked, appearing much calmer. Beneath his calmness, however, an undeniable fatigue was hidden. The outbreak of various incidents had placed considerable pressure on the three Elders.

"There's also Bai Xuan..." the Great Elder spoke again.
