Chapter 1094: 12 years of Upgrade
After consuming the corpse of the Unknown beast, Lin Wu felt incredibly sleepy.
~DING~

NOTIFICATION: Initiating System Upgrade!
NOTIFICATION: Initiating Host’s Recovery!
——
Lin Wu barely saw the notification before his consciousness faded.
He fell into a deep sleep, while his body underwent changes.
The Helix Of Assimilation Dao Embryo did its work and absorbed all that was to be absorbed from the unknown beast’s corpse.
It didn’t just absorb the energy, but it also absorbed the unknown beast’s Dao Embryo and Dao Shell!
This was the first time it had happened, but Lin Wu was not awake to witness it.
But this was merely the start, as Lin Wu’s body also started to heal and grow further.
~DING~

Within Lin Wu’s Dantian, a new Dao Embryo appeared. It was in the shape of a key that had a flickering form.
But that wasn’t all as the Three Nascent soul’s within Lin Wu’s body also underwent changes.
Two of the Nascent souls were in the form of a human, while the third was in the form of a worm.
The three Nascent souls started to fuse and turned into a new kind of Nascent soul.
It still had a humanoid body, but new appendages started to grow. Tens of tentacles sprouted from its back, while two pairs of arms grew out from its shoulder.
At the same time, its head started to split and turned into three heads!
The middle head looked fully like a human, but had a crown of emerald crystals on its head.
The head on the left was a bit less like a human and had tusks and sharp fangs in its mouth, along with bony horns.
Then finally, the head on the right looked like a mix of several insects and a human. It had yellow pupil less eyes, along with hundreds of sharp teeth that belonged to a worm. Glowing red and green patterns appeared on its face that went down its neck.
It was safe to say that the third head was the creepiest.
The Nascent soul extended its hands toward the three Dao Embryos within the Dantian and pulled it towards him.
The Dao Embryos all shrank along with their Dao Embryos and were firmly grasped within their hands.
One pair of hands held the Upheaval Dao Totem, the other heads the Helix Of Assimilation Dao Embryo and the third pair held the Void Key Dao Embryo.
~SHUA~
Then the pattern of Taiji appeared on its chest and glowed for a bit before stabilizing.
The eyes of all three heads closed and the Nascent souls entered a period of rest as well.
Silence filled the crater and time continued to pass.
Several days later, the sound of notifications echoed in the crater once more.

Despite the notifications appearing, Lin Wu was not awake. He was still deep in sleep and was adapting to his new body and abilities.
Days turned into months, after which more notifications sounded in the caterer.

Lin Wu continued to slumber while the system worked in the background. The Ming Dao World reached a time of delicate peace in this time.
Everyone had seen Lin Wu’s battle and his absences after that were a bit unsettling. But thankfully the Servants and subordinates of Lin Wu were quite Capable and handled it well.
They assured that Lin Wu was fine and that he was merely resting. They knew this for sure since they had their souls linked to Lin Wu.
But this didn’t stop several well wishers to come check up on him. Unfortunately, even Lin Wu’s subordinates were unable to get near the ‘resting site’ of Lin Wu.
As such, almost everyone had to turn back.
However there were a few like Shirong and the Ghost Of Tian who chose to stay at the Millennium Forest kingdom.
Some new arrivals also caused some uproar in the kingdom and the nearby areas. This was none other than Zhu Tianying, who had arrived along with Tim.
She ended up being the only one who managed to get a deeper look at Lin Wu and informed the others that Lin Wu was fine and was no longer injured. But he did seem to be undergoing a breakthrough.
Hearing that, the Millennium Forest kingdom was in a mood of Celebration.
But what they didn’t know was that Lin Wu’s slumber would not end any time soon.
Months turned into years, and years turned into a decade.
~YAWN~
Twelve years after Lin Wu had the legendary battle against the unknown beast, he finally woke up.
“Now that… was an amazing sleep session.” Lin Wu said as he stretched his new body.
His size had almost tripled from before and his crystals had also changed in color.
“Huh… this makeover is… a bit too much.” Lin Wu muttered as he gazed at his body which was a mix of organic and crystalline.
His crystalline parts were a mix of red, green, blue, purple, yellow and white.
“It’s better if I’m fully in the crystalline form for others.” Lin Wu reckoned and easily managed to transform himself.
The process was effortless and was even faster than before. Though his crystalline body was still multicolored.
“I guess I’ll just have to get used to it.” Lin Wu muttered to himself. “How long has it been, though?” he wondered.
~DING~
——
ANSWER: It has been 12 years, 1 month, and eighteen days since the Host was last awake.
Note: The host has 341 pending notifications.

“What in the…” Finally, the surprises in the notifications started to fill Lin Wu with shock.
