Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

"Where are we system?" Lin Wu questioned.

He couldn't tell where he was, though it certainly seemed similar to the time when the system had simulated the memories of others for him. But the feeling he got from this was a lot different.

"Huh? System?" Lin Wu called out again seeing that he had gotten no response.

He tried to call the system several times but was unable to. This was strange as Lin Wu knew even in his soul form the system should be able to talk to him. After all, the system was directly attached to his soul.

There was no reason for it to not be working like this.

'Whatever it is, it's either suppressing the system or I'm not in the same place as the system…' Lin Wu realized.

Both of the options were quite dangerous. After all if something could suppress the system or separate Lin Wu from it, it meant that it was very strong. At the very least, it should be many times stronger than an immortal.

Though in all this Lin Wu had forgotten to notice one thing.

"Hang on…" Lin Wu looked at 'himself'.

And when he did, he was left stunned.

"This… I'm back in my Human body!?" Lin Wu couldn't believe it.

He had never thought that he would ever be back in it. While his Nascent soul was still in the human form, Lin Wu had actually never inhabited it. He couldn't get the same feeling as being back in his body.

But now he could truly feel that he was back in his body.

"How's this possible though?" Lin Wu couldn't understand.

He knew that there was something else that he was missing.

~HONG~

And while Lin Wu was adapting to his old self, he suddenly felt the very air shake.

It sent waves of energy through his human body as well while his hands couldn't help but tremble from it. It filled him with a hint of fear as well as anxiety. But having lived as the Worm King, Lin Wu now had a better grip on himself.

It didn't take long for him to calm down and look at the situation in a calm manner. Several years of living as a beast king as well as the domination of two continents had filled him with the confidence that he did not had in his past life.

~shua~

A few seconds late the swirling colors in front of him change and a scene appeared. Or more accurately, a certain beast appeared.

"Tim?" Lin Wu recognized.

Tim was in his new larger size with the gold fur on his back. He looked at Lin Wu for a moment before standing still, as if it had turned into a statue.

~SHUA~

Then in the next second, another figure condensed next to Tim.

"The original form of Tim, when he was still a Copper Hide Weasel…" Lin Wu saw.

Before Lin Wu could guess what was happening though, another figure appeared next to the first two.

"What's that?" Lin Wu wondered as he saw another beast there.

The beast looked like a badger but was quite big. Even bigger than Tim's current form. A few seconds later, another figure condensed next to the figure out a badger.

"A Hawk?" Lin Wu furrowed his brows.

After the hawk, another figure condensed. This time though, it wasn't a beast. It was humanoid and had dark brown skin.

Its skin was rough and cracks could be seen in it. One could also tell that it was quite thick, but how thick that was unknown. The humanoid creature was of a form that was unknown to Lin Wu too though.

"Some kind of a different humanoid race." Lin Wu assumed.

By this point, Lin Wu was starting to somewhat understand what was happening here. But he couldn't fully come to a conclusion. He continued observing and saw several more figures appearing one after the other.

Some of them were beasts, some looked like humanoid creatures, some were demons, and some looked like a mix of weird hybrids. Their sizes varied greatly too, with some as small as a common cat all the way to as large as a small hill.

A few minutes had passed and by now about thirty five figures had appeared. But when the thirty sixth figure appeared, Lin Wu was surprised.

"A Human?" Lin Wu saw a young man who looked to be in his early twenties.

He was relatively handsome and was wearing a battle robe. Looking at his body, one could tell that he was a person attuned to battle and was quite skilled. An aura of unyielding could also be felt from him.

"Is that… supposed to be Tim?" Lin Wu wondered.

The reason he thought this was due to the fact that the man's features actually matched with the other humanoid creatures and demons. They might have varied a bit due to the difference in race, but they were still similar.

'How are all these figures linked to Tim? Are they supposed to be him? Or are they the bloodlines that are contained within him?' Lin Wu wondered.

His analysis so far was that these were all bloodlines that were contained within Tim. They might be highly diluted, but they were still present in him somehow.

"No… it can't be…" Lin Wu was left shocked when he saw the Thirty Seventh figure.

It was the largest out of all of them and was easily eight or nine hundred meters tall. Its body was covered with yellow scales that shone with might. It had four long limbs, each of which had five claws and a long scaled tail that looked like it could crush mountain.

Then there was its head.

Long fangs filled its mouth, while several horns sprouted from its head. Two black and yellow eyes glared at Lin Wu, filling him with a mix of fear and anxiety.

"A Dragon… A Yellow Dragon?!" Lin Wu exclaimed. "He has the bloodline of a true dragon too!?"
