Chapter 220: New Beginning
For the next few years, Sage would be traveling. He had a few options on how to accomplish this task and he chose the slowest. Linking to a Warp Worm, he had it burrow down quite deep and pointed it in the direction of the Dou Kingdom. The number of dangers it might encounter so deep underground were drastically reduced in comparison to traveling through the sky where Demonic Beasts would pick you out from miles away, or on the ground where you could stumble into a creatures territory without realizing it. Sage even took this idea to the next level and slowly raised a hundred Warp Worms. He had a couple dozen of them travel along with his linked worm, creating a small herd of the big worms, a full three feet in diameter. Moving as a pack, they would definitely discourage attack, and if they did run into trouble he could release another 60 or so of the beasts and overwhelm their enemies. Having the enemy suddenly quadruple in number would be enough to terrify, if not defeat, most threats.
While the worms were burrowing, Sage lived within the Universe Ring and only had to devote a tiny portion of his attention to the outside world. Now that he was a wanted man, it was time to make some drastic changes. First things first, time to change his appearance and get a new identity. Even if he was heading two Kingdoms away, there was still the matter of his enmity with the Fu Clan. They had already killed him and if he were to be seen again, they would think he had faked his death. They would most likely send another hit squad and be far more thorough in making sure he was dead. His chances of escaping like last time would be reduced. Better to have a new start.
Conveniently, many years ago he had already created a fake identity in the Dou Kingdom. Long ago, on the run from a destroyed Lang Clan hed registered himself at the Black Dog Mercenary Company. Ling Sheng from Flying Wind Province. It was a province on the other side of the kingdom from 10,000 Wave Province. At the time hed just picked it at random since it was far away and hard to verify his claim. Thinking of the names from the perspective of their romanization, they were quite similar. On the other hand, the characters were very different. His real name, Lang Sheng, the characters meant Mantis, and Sage, respectively. His new identity, Ling Sheng, the characters meant Bell, and Life. Quite the drastic difference.
To go along with the new name, hed need a new look. He had practiced the Living Canvas technique to quickly make coloring changes, but that wasnt enough. Far from it. It couldnt even change his bone structure, let alone his blood, aura, spirit power, and soul signatures. While the people that could sense such things, let alone link them to him were few, it was better to be thorough. He first checked the Timeless Masters Library and then the scroll from Peak Master Zhen, entertainingly named How to be a Little Birdy, wondering if anything fit his needs. While there were some decent disguising techniques, they werent as good as his first plan. Ñøv€lRapture marked the initial hosting of this chapter on Ñôv€lß¡n.
Sage was working on the first part of his plan. He only planned on merging with a single beast this time, but that didnt mean that beast was going to be simple. After returning to the Holy Flame Sect hed done lots of research, built a few factories, and taught them the concept of the assembly line. During that time, hed also had the Prosperity Company collecting insects and beasts from stores around the province and delivering them to him. He was building up the diversity of creatures within the Universe Ring. Hed also made purchases at the auction for the same reason. Hed learned his lesson that a complete merge should be done sparingly as the dangers were immense. To that end, he wished to create a more powerful and perfect creature to merge with.
In addition, it was about time for a new generation of insect helpers. The Steel Silk Centipede, Chameleon Mantis, Emerald Dragonfly, Warp Worm, and Charming Lance Beetle were quite capable and each had their strengths and weaknesses. The same goes for his ant colonies. A mass of many small creatures could be just as powerful if not more so than a single huge one. Having many options was quite a strength and the different creatures had acted as a good surprise to his foes. On the other hand, there was just too many of them to focus on. It was time to come up with a new multi-purpose pet that he could focus his efforts on instead of a whole stable of different things.
Sage brought out a scroll, the title on it was Forging the Forest.
Time for a new breeding program.
