Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

"Where the heck is my avatar anyway?" Lin Wu questioned.

He checked the monitoring screens and found the avatar in one of the secondary halls.

"Huh? What's it doing there?" Lin Wu wondered.

He tried to switch his body but found himself unable to do so.

"What the hell? Why is it not working? Why can't I switch to my avatar?" Lin Wu questioned.

~DING~

——

ANSWER: The host has been in a state of hibernation for over ten years. The synchronization between the host's soul, main body and avatar has weakened. The avatar has similarly gone into hibernation and only awakens when something is needed to be done according to the protocols set.

——

"Hmm… guess I'll need to cultivate the Unity Avatar Technique a bit more later. I'll just go see it directly." Lin Wu said before teleporting to the hall where the avatar was.

~shua~

His large body disappeared in a flicker of light and reappeared in the secondary hall. The hall was smaller than the one he was in and had not been in use since there were no occupants.

But now, Lin Wu found it to be different than before.

"Huh? Why is the spirit Qi concentration here higher?" Lin Wu was confused.

He approached his avatar that was coiled up and scanned it using his spirit sense.

"Hmm… it seems to be working normally and cultivating. System, do a check on your end too." Lin Wu spoke.

~DING~

——

SCANNER ACTIVATED: Target selected

SCAN COMPLETED: Establishing a link to secondary system subroutine

LINK ESTABLISHED: Avatar Subroutine active

——

A few notifications appeared in front of him as the system did its work. He could feel the familiarity between him and the avatar increase a bit and he could sense it directly without spirit sense now too.

It was now that the system finished its analysis and showed the avatar data.

~DING~

The first thing Lin Wu noticed was of course the increases then spirit Qi that the Avatar had accumulated till now.

"Damn… even it managed to get a lot. Even though it's a bit less, it's almost the same." Lin Wu muttered in surprise.

The next thing he ended up noticing was the cultivation technique Undaunted Sapphire body art. Its conversion had increased quite a bit even if it had not advanced to the next level.

"How did… was it perhaps cultivating that too? Hang on, system what were the settings the avatar was on all this time?" Lin Wu questioned.

~DING~

——

ANSWER: The Host's avatar was on a set of protocols that prioritized cultivation whenever it was favorable.

——

"Hmm… that explains why it's in this hall. The spirit Qi here is even higher than the main hall, which is strange. And since it has been prioritizing cultivation, it would switch between the techniques as need." Lin Wu understood.

Between the two cultivation techniques, the Taiji Dual Unity Scripture and the undaunted sapphire body art, only the latter could be cultivated by just pouring spirit Qi. It could even increase passively as long as the meridians were continually used.

The same could not be done with the Taiji Dual Unity scripture as it was a bit more complex and needed conscious improvement of it. That was also the reason why neither Lin Wu's main body nor the avatar had experience an increase in its skill level.

'The proficiency of the Flame manipulation and fire resistance increased as well? That's strange, that would only happen if… if the avatar got into a fight!' Lin Wu realized.

"System what else happened in the tomb during this time? Were there any conflicts?" Lin Wu questioned.

~DING~

——

ANSWER: Five years after the host went into hibernation, the system went into an upgrade state as well and was inactive. But to let the other functions running, it created a subroutine that ran in the host's Avatar.

Any information in the latter five years will be present in the avatar and the host will need to control it to access it.

——

"Ugh! Need to wait till I fully sync with the avatar." Lin Wu muttered.

He then got closer to the avatar and used the Unity Avatar Technique on it. In the next second a very peculiar change happened. Lin Wu's main body wrapped around the avatar and both of them started to fuse.

It was like watching two ice cubes melting and then being frozen again.

"Huh, I don't think I've done this ever since I got the skill… or more like I never had the chance nor the need to do so." Lin Wu muttered to himself.

In the entire time, his avatar had either been away with Shirong or busy taking over his duties while he was in hibernation. Thus it was no surprise that Lin Wu never got to use the Unity Avatar Technique to fuse back with the avatar till now.

The fusion took about a minute to complete and by the time he was done with it, Lin Wu's body had increased once more. It was now twenty percent bigger than his already larger body and had a few more features such as the addition of the two extra Vermillion colors eyes on top of the ones that were already there.

"Mmm… this feels different… comfortable too…" Lin Wu said with pleasure.
