Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

Lin Wu continued to listen to the Taiji Celestial and felt amazed at all the knowledge that was being spoken. 

The scene in front of him changed and now the Taiji celestial was standing on an empty planet. 

"After my birth, I was able to create a body for myself. It was created from the people of the entire planet and was the culmination of their will of selflessness. That is how I became a 'Celestial'.

Now having unified, I pondered on myself for a new name. It took me a few years during which I wandered the planet observing everything until I finally chose one. I named myself 'Taiji' after my unity with the positives and negatives.

I saw the black and white in me, which were representations of Bai and Hei. Then I saw the positives of the cultivators in their selflessness and their negatives of sacrificing everything. I was the amalgamation of all and thus the 'Taiji' was me and 'I' was taiji.

Still, after all this, I still needed a goal in my life. Whiteout a goal I would be the same as before, existing just for the sake of it. It didn't take long before I learned it. 

I was going to rectify my doings.

My seeds that had been spread across the worlds were cut off from me when 'I' was born and thus acted on their own instincts. Thus I needed to take them back and assimilate them back into myself. 

From there on, my new conquest began. At first, I was alone and went to the worlds where the Shadow calamity was present. I would fight against it and absorb it back into myself. But soon other cultivators and great powers of the worlds joined me. 

I helped the people of those planets, whether they were human or not, it didn't matter. I created alliances with the other Powers and we created treaties to help the worlds when in need and in times of disaster.

It took me forty millenniums before I was able to finish my goal and by that time my name and fame spread across the realms.

I became venerated as a deity and thus ascended once again. But I knew that even if my goal was complete, there were many more things I needed to do. What I had learned in my life, I wanted to teach others too. I hoped that they may be able to gain something from it and better their lives and the lives of the others in turn.

This is the reason why I am leaving my legacy. If you have come this far, then you have the right to know that I have left my legacies on every world that I visited and helped. You will be one of my disciples from henceforth." The Taiji Celestial spoke.

Lin Wu was left astounded at this and had never expected that his casual decision to visit the tomb would lead to this. But this also led him to question another thing: Why was all this so easy? He had barely done anything.

He had not experienced any trials and had at most solved some puzzles.

'Is it because I came in through the opening at the top? Was that not the intended route?' Lin Wu wondered.

"No, wait! That's not all! If there are more than twenty levels to this, then why did I get the legacy so early on at the sixth level?" Lin Wu questioned.

But his words were in vain as the Taiji celestial did not answer him. Instead, it had just gotten silent and was standing still.

Lin Wu stood there awkwardly, not knowing what to do. Thirty minutes passed and still, nothing had happened.

"Umm… hello? Did you lag out? Did the recording freeze?" Lin Wu asked.

Seeing that there was no response, Lin Wu guessed that there must be some other requirement to continue this.

'Oh yeah he said, I will be his disciple, right? Then I guess I need to do the master-disciple ceremony. I need to kowtow to him.' Lin Wu realized.

He then got into the posture of kneeling as well as he could with his worm form and began to kowtow.

He knocked his head on the floor three times before saying, "disciple Lin Wu pays respects to Master Taiji celestial."

'Let's hope this works…' Lin Wu thought.

~Weeng~

A humming sound was heard as the world started shaking. The thunderous voice that Lin Wu had heard at the start sounded again.

"I THE TAIJI CELESTIAL HAVE ACCEPTED LIN WU AS MY DISCIPLE!" 

"Now prepare to receive my legacy!" The taiji immortal said.

He created some gestures with his hands and then pointed towards Lin Wu.

~Shua~

Countless runes started coming out of his hands and started pouring into Lin Wu's head. He felt as if he was hit by a train and started reeling from the shock.

Lin Wu saw the notification from the system and knew that it was something pretty big if it had to stop the others tasks like this. He wondered what things he would get from the legacy and didn't know if they would work for him or not.

Till now, all the cultivating techniques he had seen were only applicable to human cultivators, and even after so many days, the system had not been able to analyze them fully. It needed more time to modify the techniques such that they may be compatible with Lin Wu.

Hate Taiji celestial kept on pouring runes into Lin Wu's head and even after hours didn't stop. If it had not been for the system disabling his sense of pain directly at the start, it would have become impossible for him to last.

After an unknown amount of time later, the Taiji celestial stopped.
