Raising all of humanity: Starting with a backyard pool world

Chapter 31 [Three Kings Living Together]

On a sunny autumn afternoon, he leisurely lay on a rattan chair in the courtyard of the old house, observing Lynch's adventure in the world of Ashem through the Primal Spore Connection Heavenly Dao System.

In the scene, the time traveler who carried his first hope did not disappoint him. After a brief period of confusion and revenge, he resolutely chose to head towards the northern mountains, which symbolize power.

The bewilderment, lingering fear, and relief at surviving the ordeal on his face were all captured perfectly and stored as the most basic information.

This is also the special characteristic of the Way of Heaven; it is not a cold, impersonal system, but it can learn on its own.

"The first kill, using wisdom instead of brute force, the first experience of the power of the legacy of the ancient gods... I didn't choose the wrong person. As expected of a protagonist template, he grows extremely fast."

Xu Ye picked up the "Genesis Diary" on the table and turned to a brand new page:

"【Apocalypse One - Lynch】First Real-World Data Recap:"

"First, the primal physique provided by the 'Blood of Chaos' (orcs) is the fundamental guarantee for their survival."

"Secondly, the [Material Recombination] property granted by 'Heart of the Earth' (Kaz) gives it an asymmetrical armor-piercing advantage when facing enemies with vastly different strengths, which is the key to victory."

"Thirdly, the life energy brought by 'Breath of the Stars' (Moon Rot) provides the ability to turn the tide of battle in a near-death state, and has produced a wonderful positive reaction with the orc bloodline, with great potential."

As he put pen to paper, he watched as the three legacies from different eras began to merge within Lynch's body.

The orc's body is the template for a warrior with high health, the Moon Corruption Energy is a priest buff that comes with self-healing, and the battle axe that originated from Kaz is an assassin's dagger that ignores defense.

"Very good. It's normal for the protagonist to have some overpowered abilities. Especially the classic hybrid, where others don't get any bonuses, only the protagonist gets full buffs... Just right."

But Xu quickly realized the problem.

The growth trajectory of a lone wolf, no matter how exciting it may be in the early stages, is ultimately linear and predictable.

The stories of moving from one victory to the next are simply not enough to satisfy the primordial spores that need to devour the epics of civilizations to evolve; they are far from sufficient.

The supplies provided were of poor quality and inefficient.

"This can't go on. A story with only one main character is too monotonous."

Xu Ye made up his mind that rather than passively waiting for Lin Qi to trigger unknown plots on his own, he would take the initiative and assume the role of destiny.

"If you're going to play, play big."

"A hero's solo act is too boring, so let's add two more main characters."

A playful smile appeared on Xu Ye's lips, and an idea was born.

He personally ushered in an era of three kings standing side by side.

Lynch, as the "hero" template he chose, must have an equal, or even more powerful, nemesis on his path to growth—a pure "demon king."

This demon king will become a testing ground for his humanity, and the strongest external force that will compel him to grow.

However, if the story only features a binary opposition between a hero and a demon, it is easy for it to end prematurely.

To prevent the bipolar confrontation from burning down the entire stage prematurely, a third force, a "wise" faction, needs to be introduced.

It is responsible for balancing the power of both sides, secretly forming alliances, and unlocking the deeper "magic" of this world, making the evolution of the entire world more profound.

Heroes, demons, sages.

Three completely different templates and three completely different paths will intertwine and collide on the stage of Assam.

Only in this way can the magnificent "epic" that Xu Ye desires most be born.

With the plan set, Xu began to act.

Actively activate the [Soul Vision] and immerse your consciousness in the "talent market" of the planet beneath your feet, composed of countless dying souls, to begin selecting the best candidate for the "Demon King".

Those who died of illness or had weak willpower are disqualified.

Those who died unexpectedly or lacked mental fortitude will be disqualified.

Soon, a beam of resentful light shooting into the sky from a chaotic battlefield in the Middle East drew his full attention.

That was a top-tier mercenary, codenamed "Death".

In his final moments, he was betrayed by his most trusted comrade, who shot him in the back, all for the sake of pocketing a huge commission.

That anger of betrayal, mixed with the fighting spirit that refused to yield until the very last moment, and the purest obsession with power, transformed into the most dazzling beacon illuminating the entire soul's vision.

"The perfect 'Demon King' in the making." Xu also settled on this goal.

Next, it's time to pave the way for this new king.

He searched for a suitable container in the world of Ashem.

Their gaze finally settled on the southern wasteland, on an orc tribe that had just swallowed up its arch-rival tribe in a bloody battle.

The victors were celebrating, while in a corner of the camp, the body of a strong young orc was slowly growing cold.

He was the old chief's son and should have been the greatest contributor to this victory, but at the last moment, he was shot and killed by a cold arrow from the enemy, and his soul had just dissipated.

"The container is ready."

Then there's the "golden finger".

Perhaps it is possible to extract a trace of the purest legacy from the "Wilderness Plague" from the [Sanctuary of Civilization].

That represents the chaotic power of [adaptation and absorption].

He poured this legacy into a huge totem pole stuck in the ground next to the orc corpse.

From this moment on, killing will become the only way for this new king to become stronger.

Having dealt with the Demon King, Xu began searching for a suitable candidate to be the "wise man."

Ultimately, Xu Ye set his sights on a top female finance and accounting executive who passed away peacefully in her hospital bed.

A creature of pure rules and politics, she struggled her entire life and achieved great success on a secular level. Her only regret was that her wisdom could not overcome the erosion of time.

Such a soul is perfectly suited to harness the complex magical system that is about to unfold.

The selection of containers and scenarios is equally swift.

Deep within the continent of Ashem lies the ruins of an ancient elven library, abandoned for thousands of years.

Xu Ye extracted a strand of the most active offspring from the mycelial network of the [Order Weaver] and disguised it as a "twig of the World Tree," then quietly placed it into the core of the library.

Then, in the ruins, he found the body of a young elven priestess who had died from the backlash of trying to decipher ancient forbidden magic.

"This future elven queen may think she has won the favor of the ancient nature gods, but she doesn't know that her fate has been predetermined from the very beginning."

Everything is ready.

Xu Ye looked at his layout with satisfaction and activated the [Ascension Interface].

Two beams of guiding light traversed endless dimensions from the world of Ashem and shot towards the two souls on Earth that were about to perish and had been chosen by him.

A shot was fired at the gradually cooling corpse on the Middle Eastern battlefield.

A shard landed on the strong woman in the ward who had just stopped breathing.

"Welcome to my world," Xu Ye said softly, leaning back in his wicker chair and closing his eyes.
