Chapter 69: The beginning of reincarnation
Fairyland, this vast ancient land is so big that even the fairy king cannot deduce it. In fact, as a super ancient land, its huge size is attracting countless small worlds to gather here every moment. So in the eyes of many people, the fairyland will grow, and no one knows what happened in this ancient land.
Perhaps, those small worlds that are constantly integrated into this ancient domain were once part of the fairyland.
On a piece of wild wasteland, the occasional towering stone pillars and palaces that have collapsed to the point where only the foundations remain indicate that this may have once been a civilized place, but the environment is still too harsh.
This uninhabited area is filled with miasma, poisonous gas, howling winds, and thunder.
Here, some terrifying murderous intentions make the immortals tremble with fear and their souls turbulent. Many evil spirits have given birth to resentful spirits over the long years. They are the remnants of the creatures that died thousands of years ago, and they have been transformed into evil spirits under the influence of the evil spirits.
However, even in such an environment, a man with a big black dog was walking through the ruins.
A man and a dog walked and stopped from time to time. From time to time, the man frowned as he looked at some ancient palaces that had collapsed as a result of civilization. Those ancient runes were extremely shocking and were very different from the rune structures of the current Shinto and Immortal ways. This uninhabited area might have been a palace complex, but now even the mysterious runes that were blessed with terrifying power were about to turn into dust. The age it had gone through was terrifying.
It's hard to tell how powerful the man is, but the big black dog beside him, like a calf, is wrapped in a layer of faint immortal golden light. Ignoring the murderous intent and miasma here, one can tell that the man is no ordinary person.
A black dog has already possessed an immortal body. It is jaw-dropping to say that this is a realm that billions of living beings pursue.
"Master, the remaining runes here are completely different from some of the ancient rune systems in the fairyland. Some are similar to Shinto, but they are not completely from the same system."
This black dog does have a good talent for studying formations.
"Yes, when I was communicating with King Pan, I studied the rune system of the Immortal Realm. There is almost no difference between the rune system of my original ancient world and this puzzles me. Even though many Taoist friends in my world have ancestors who originated from the Immortal Realm, some runes are too coincidental."
The man stroked the broken stone pillar that fell to the ground and spoke.
Whether it was the fairyland or the original ancient world, there had been many connections between them. But before the creation of the fairyland, he wondered whether there was any connection between the two ancient worlds. After the emperor's fall, the cultivation evolution of the two worlds also had many similarities.
"The ancient artifacts that the old king of the Golden Crow lineage brought out before are very old. They may be related to the beginning of the fairyland, but those runes can also be deduced to some of the same beginnings. There are generally some connections after the emperor's fall, but some of the runes in front of us may be older than the emperor's fall."
Thinking of this, the man was shocked. He studied the way of time and achieved amazing results in this way. A long time ago, he guessed that the times were reincarnated, and all things in the world might also be reincarnated. The same people and the same things were constantly repeated. They were pulled and controlled by some force. Moreover, this terrible force was more than one, and it was even unknown from which era it started.
Today, this idea seems to be slowly being confirmed. The last era and the years of the emperor's fall were destroyed for the same reason, and the destruction of this era was controlled by a certain force.
"That's just Old Jinwu. He's so stingy. I just wanted two pieces of junk but he wouldn't give them to me. He's acting like no one cares."
On the other hand, the big black dog complained with a look of disdain. The Golden Crow lineage had an astonishing origin. It was rumored that among the founders of the fairyland there was a Golden Crow Emperor.
As time went by, the man and the dog crossed the vast uninhabited area, and even approached the boundary sea, because there was a trace pointing towards the boundary sea.
"Master, aren't we going to move forward?"
"It would be nice if fellow Samsara could come with us."
The man spoke and stepped into the fairyland. He visited many ancient places and many ancient fairy kings in the fairyland. He kept deducing. Sometimes, he even saw a shocking scene in a corner of the future. His own timeline was full of blood. However, as an fairy king, he was not afraid of any cause and effect.
Now, he is sure of his answer. There is a power spreading into the sea boundary. Too many mysteries point to one line again. To get the truth, he must step into the foggy sea.
However, there is another extremely strange force, which appears and disappears, and circles back to the fairyland and the original ancient world. It seems to be buried deep under the Nine Netherworlds, and has signs of spanning the heavens. That is the secret power of reincarnation. If the Immortal King of Reincarnation is here, the two of them could deduce more by working together.
"Burial area!"
The man looked in that direction and whispered. During the deduction, he found that the mysterious power was very consistent with the hint of reincarnation in that burial area.
Perhaps, this is the power of reincarnation. How could there be no rhythm of reincarnation in the world?
However, after a long time, the man suddenly turned around and stared in one direction. "What's wrong, Master!"
The big black dog beside him began to tremble.
At this moment, the cold look in the man's eyes was extremely terrifying. The murderous intent froze time and space, and there was a terrifying will peeking into the long river of time.
"The Primitive Ancient Realm is in trouble, and Fellow Daoist Lunhui sent out a spell to summon me. Perhaps, I may have to go back first this time."
The man spoke, the Immortal King of Samsara actually sent someone with a decree to summon him at this time. It must be that something big happened in the primitive ancient world. Moreover, he even had some guesses in his heart.
"Are there any big moves in the foreign land?"
Even the big black dog thought of something.
"Is that bloody color the result of the deduction being too close to the truth?"
The man was pondering in his heart, but the most urgent thing was to return to the primitive ancient world first.
After a few breaths, the man returned with the big black dog.
And at this moment, outside of all other worlds, there is an indescribable world.
This place seems to be far away from all time and space, an unknown mysterious world. There are stars and faint glow in the dim and crimson sky and earth for billions of miles. A long ancient river flows slowly across the ancient and mysterious land, and no one knows where its end is.
The countless branches of the ancient river seem to connect the time and space of all worlds, but there is no real entity. It is a magical river formed by the convergence of a strange power, sacred and strange. A power that attracts the souls of all living things rises from the river.
In the ancient river, the breath emitted is very gentle, at least for the souls of living things, it is a rare nourishment. On both sides of the dark and ferocious river bank and beside the bizarre mountains and rivers, there are mysterious creatures lurking, occasionally a pair of scarlet eyes open, emitting red light. On both sides of the riverbed, there are some terrifying stone statues, with the bodies of lizards and the heads of birds. Some have wings on their backs, some have four arms spread out, and some have snake bodies and human faces.
These stone statues are lifelike. Some hold swords, some are wrapped in chains, and some hold blood-red long swords.
This ancient river is too mysterious. No one knows how long it has existed. It is like a spring of reincarnation flowing from the depths to the eternal heavens. No matter whether the heavens collapse or everything is destroyed, this river will always exist. From time to time, groups of soul light rise from the river and fly towards the world.
"Someone is trying to pry open the reincarnation!"
I don’t know how long it took, but a portal to heaven appeared at the end of heaven and earth. Countless ancient river tributaries gathered here, and these rivers flowed out from behind this portal.
At this moment, a living being spoke from behind the portal. The ethereal, ancient, and time-honored magic sound made this peaceful world seem to be resounding.
"Reincarnation is inviolable. Perhaps we should take action."
"That's not necessary. This era is almost coming to an end. Those people are also going to take action. Everything will start from the beginning again. However, when he enters reincarnation, we need to keep him."
A living being spoke.
In this secluded place, no one can imagine that there is someone controlling the reincarnation cycle. If this were to be spread out, the world would be in turmoil.
However, they are not the real Lords of Reincarnation. It should be said that the Lords of Reincarnation are not necessarily the masters of reincarnation. It’s just that some people have occupied the path of reincarnation for too long and naturally regard it as their own.
What do you think about the protagonist entering the Samsara Road later? I personally think that the fact that the Immortal King of Samsara has no trace in the later lives may be related to the Samsara Road's intervention. After all, if the Immortal King of Samsara continues his research, entering the Emperor Realm may really threaten the Soul River. With the Immortal King of Samsara's personality, it may be difficult for him to identify with those who control reincarnation.
