Chapter 538 Entering the Cycle of Reincarnation, the Book of Life and Death is Completed!
Since establishing the Netherworld, Qin Ming has used the Mirror of Karma to illuminate every life that has undergone the judgment of the Ten Kings of Hell, exploring the memories of their entire lives.
From the initial exploration of memories to the later realm of cause and effect, the cause-and-effect relationship is revealed.
Qin Ming experienced the lives of countless people by accessing their memories, coupled with the tempering of his soul by the Myriad Soul Banner and the constant impact of the baleful aura he endured as the master of the Myriad Soul Banner.
This made Qin Ming's will incredibly strong after being tempered time and time again.
Ultimately, he reached the current ultimate level of an eternal true god!
A mere universe lord possesses the will of an eternal true god, making him one of the most powerful beings even within the entire Origin Continent.
However, Qin Ming was not satisfied!
He walks the path of the soul, the path of reincarnation!
His will can be even stronger!
However, after these hundreds of thousands of years, and with the time acceleration of tens of millions of times under the World Tree of the Netherworld God Kingdom, Qin Ming knew very well that conventional hard training and tempering had yielded very little result.
He needs a completely new, more fundamental kind of inspiration.
No matter how real the memories viewed on the Netherworld God's Mirror Platform may seem, they are still other people's lives.
Not him!
Qin Ming's gaze fell upon the Six Paths of Reincarnation, which operated independently above the River of Souls and enveloped the entire primordial universe.
"Having gone through 108,000 tribulations, assumed countless identities, experienced countless lives, and gathered the insights of countless spirits, perhaps my will can reach a higher level?"
Even their understanding of the laws can reach a higher level!
As he watched the slowly rotating Six Paths of Reincarnation, a thought arose in Qin Ming's mind, which then spread wildly throughout his sea of consciousness. For others, the only way to be reincarnated was after death.
However, for him, who controls the Six Paths of Reincarnation and possesses the strange life form of the River of Souls, it is not impossible.
However, this method is dangerous.
Extremely dangerous!
Since one is to experience countless lives and the cycle of life and death, one must naturally shield one's memories and experience reincarnation in the purest state.
However, once one's will becomes attached to a particular clone, the consequences will be extremely serious!
There are too many unforgettable emotions in the world, such as family affection, friendship, love, birth, aging, sickness and death, racial hatred and so on.
When these consciousnesses return, there is a high probability that they will also have an impact on him.
But the returns are equally huge!
If one can gather the insights from countless reincarnations into one's own being, one's will will undergo a qualitative change.
"Ha, I actually hesitated?"
"As the master of the six realms of reincarnation, yet having never experienced reincarnation himself, how can he truly comprehend reincarnation?"
Qin Ming chuckled lightly, instantly erasing any trace of hesitation.
As far as he knew, before Starlight, one of the seven cultivator lords, broke the law with force, he had been reincarnated into countless source worlds to cultivate and experience different lives.
He eventually became the first lord to break through magic with force!
Moreover, because he has experienced countless different lives and visited countless different worlds, the identity that Xingmang reveals to others is always different.
Perhaps it was an elderly person, or perhaps a child.
Those are all him, but they are not him either; they are just one of his clones or manifestations!
But this path is the right one.
Sitting cross-legged in the core of the Netherworld God Kingdom, above the vast and boundless river of souls, the Six Paths of Reincarnation rotate, and countless points of soul light converge and diverge here, entering six enormous vortexes.
A wave surged on the River of Souls, and three thousand soul sub-bodies flew out from the enormous body that had devoured countless souls and whose diameter had reached nearly six light-years.
Each of these three thousand soul sub-bodies contains a thread of his original spiritual light, yet contains no memories, just like blank sheets of paper.
"Go."
With a thought, Qin Ming sent his three thousand soul sub-bodies, like three thousand invisible seeds, into the rotating cycle of the six realms of reincarnation.
The first wisp of will was invested in the Way of Heaven and Man.
Under Qin Ming's watchful gaze, he was reincarnated as the legitimate son of the royal family of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, born with nobility and endless resources.
He was extraordinary from the moment he was born.
Another wisp of will was cast into the Asura realm.
It became a newborn, renowned warrior race in the primordial universe, struggling to survive from birth amidst brutal battles with its own kind and its environment.
Then, more of that will flowed into the human realm.
They scattered to every corner of the universe.
Some became ordinary people with lower bloodlines, while others entered a wild continent similar to the Blood Luo world to fight against ferocious beasts. Some even went directly into the world of gods.
Some were even reincarnated as demons or crystal races, which are hostile to humans.
Over time, these consciousnesses either become martial artists, weapon refiners, or pharmacists, or, of course, ordinary people, experiencing birth, aging, sickness, and death.
Some wills, however, have fallen into the lower realms.
They may become ignorant wild beasts or ferocious monsters, living by instinct and experiencing the natural law of the survival of the fittest.
Some are cast into the realm of hungry ghosts to endure the most miserable life.
Some were thrown into the hell realm to personally endure the extreme pain of being burned by karmic fire and surrounded by mountains of knives and trees of swords, and their will was sublimated in the extreme torment.
The three thousand avatars of will were like three thousand pebbles thrown into the water, entering the primordial universe without causing the slightest disturbance.
Under Qin Ming's watchful gaze and perception, they began to embark on completely different life trajectories.
At the core of the Netherworld God Kingdom, Qin Ming's consciousness was like a huge light screen filled with three thousand images.
Each scene reflects in real time the experiences, feelings, emotions, and thoughts of a split personality.
The sheer volume of information, like a galaxy pouring down, assaulted his will.
From birth, we experience the joys, sorrows, anger, fears, love, and hatred of different lives.
Qin Ming quietly experienced the various emotions.
He was experiencing things he had never experienced before.
Without his prophetic abilities, and with the assistance of the Myriad Souls Banner, he progressed extremely smoothly, each step precisely hitting the mark.
It completed the leap in the most perfect form.
Even a peerless genius like Luo Feng was left far behind by him.
However, these clones are different.
They are no different from ordinary primitive cosmic life forms, without any unique memories, and are reincarnated and reborn just like everyone else, to fight and kill.
A mix of emotions welled up inside Qin Ming, causing his emotions to fluctuate.
This is not simply watching.
Instead, he experienced it firsthand, realizing that each of these incarnations was him.
Therefore, he is able to clearly perceive all emotions.
He witnessed the gradually cooling heart of the prince of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom amidst the power struggles, felt the indomitable spirit of the naturally fighting race, and also experienced the struggles of ordinary martial artists to survive in life.
Those incarnations that entered the human realm, regardless of their identities, would eventually mostly get married and have children, either falling in love, supporting each other through life, or being outwardly estranged but inwardly united.
Even those in the animal realm, whose minds are clouded, still struggle to survive.
Each will clone went through its own life, most of which died soon after. When they died, their wills returned to the river of souls.
As if waking from a deep dream, they revealed a smile that was either gratified or bittersweet.
And then, a new cycle begins!
This is a practice unlike any other.
Qin Ming quietly experienced all of this. He did not interfere with any will, but simply felt and experienced one hardship after another, and experienced different lives.
He witnessed the rise and fall of civilizations, the changes in races, and the struggles and brilliance of every tiny individual life against the backdrop of the vast universe.
He saw the brilliance of kindness shining in dire straits, and he also saw evil sinking under temptation.
"So this is love, life and death, despair and joy I have never felt before, this is the most real primal universe."
Qin Ming sighed softly.
He could feel that his will was undergoing a slow but firm transformation.
Amidst the countless joys and sorrows, life and death cycles experienced by those three thousand clones, endless inspiration welled up in his heart—the most essential emotion of life.
"Not enough!"
Qin Ming murmured softly, his eyes reflecting the myriad worlds, "I need more time to mature, more experiences to endure more trials."
Those different experiences in life touched him deeply.
Even though there is a virtual universe and the higher-ups of the human race continuously distribute the Wu Kingdom's legacy, the situation of humans living at the very bottom is still difficult.
He has been detached from this world for too long, and from his lofty position, he cannot see the path below.
A battle of geniuses?
That was just a battle of geniuses!
It has nothing to do with ordinary people. The vast majority of people will remain at the planetary level throughout their lives, and many more will remain at the apprentice level, or even not at the apprentice level!
The primordial universe was too vast.
But no matter how big the world is, the largest number of people are always at the bottom, always ordinary people.
When he was reincarnated in three thousand different forms, he experienced the life of an ordinary person the most.
Reincarnation after reincarnation.
This is all the case.
Only a small number of people embark on the path of martial arts, and most of them either fall at the planetary or constant level. Very few can become cosmic or domain lord level.
Even the clone that was initially reincarnated as the Qianwu Prince ultimately perished in battle during a fight with foreign tribes 80,000 years later.
Those who can become immortal are already extremely rare in this primordial universe.
If this is the case for human races, what about other races?
Among his reincarnated avatars are also alien races like the demon race and the prison race, as well as cosmic overlords like the human race, making their survival even more difficult.
This allows Qin Ming to perceive this world from a completely different perspective.
Qin Ming felt a sense of heaviness.
That is the weight of billions of living beings.
However, he simply watched without stopping or changing anything, allowing each of his clones to enter the cycle of reincarnation and experience different lives.
To shape the world according to one's own ideas?
For Qin Ming, this was not a difficult task.
He could enable the human race to sweep away all other races, allowing the vast majority of humans to live better lives and obtain more material comforts, and reducing infighting between races.
However, he did not do that.
The existence of life is inherently a struggle.
As long as intelligent life exists, conflict and slaughter will never cease.
This is the instinct of life.
Wolves eat sheep, and sheep eat grass; this is the natural order.
Of course, anything is possible in the world of cultivation. Perhaps that grass will also embark on the path of cultivation, transforming into a star-eating grass that devours the heavens and the earth.
This is also part of the laws of nature.
"With the existence of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, things are much better than the chaotic state of the past. Forcibly changing things and making them all do things according to my ideas may not be the right thing to do."
However, establishing a set of universal rules to guarantee the lower limits of this world is not wrong.
Qin Ming quietly observed the countless life forms in the entire primordial universe, watching the rise and fall of various races, but he did not stop humanity from expanding out of pity for any particular race.
"I don't care about the cycle of life and death while you're alive. But if you're dead, then everything will have to be done according to the rules of the underworld."
Cause and effect are cyclical, and retribution is inevitable.
The Book of Life and Death in the Underworld
It's time to establish it.
Qin Ming didn't want to control the fate of billions of lives in the primordial universe; what he wanted to do was to make a record!
When the virtual universe was also connected to the Six Paths of Reincarnation and became a link in the human path, Qin Ming's control over the entire primordial universe had reached its peak!
He could easily build a system if he wanted to.
With this system, all information about all intelligent life in the primordial universe, from birth to death, can be automatically recorded and processed.
That is, the causal impact of all the actions of a soul during its life cycle on all things in the universe.
Record it systematically.
Rather than deciding the other person's fate.
Through this kind of record-keeping, he can see the world more clearly and comprehend its cause and effect, life and death.
Reincarnation.
As Qin Ming's thoughts raced, the laws of the entire Netherworld Divine Kingdom resonated with them.
The six realms of reincarnation that envelop the primordial universe are now not only channels for guiding souls, but have also transformed into countless invisible tentacles of perception.
The deep integration of the virtual universe and the six realms of reincarnation means that the information generated by the consciousness fluctuations of every person who accesses the virtual universe and their behavior in the virtual and real worlds is quietly captured and recorded by this vast system.
"With the Six Paths of Reincarnation as its framework, the virtual universe as its perception, and the Netherworld Divine Kingdom as its core—the Book of Life and Death is hereby established!"
With Qin Ming's will, in the core of the Netherworld God Kingdom, above the River of Souls, endless streams of information began to converge and weave, eventually transforming into an incomparably vast and boundless book.
In the primordial universe, every life form corresponds to a page of that universe.
Each page contains a life, and through the power of the realm of cause and effect, different lives are connected by the thread of cause and effect.
Countless pages and threads of cause and effect together constitute the massive network of billions of races and endless life in the primordial universe.
"No! This system is too vast. It would be too difficult to handle using only the Six Paths of Reincarnation Secret Technique and the Realm of Cause and Effect."
This burden must be shared!
Qin Ming's eyes flashed as he looked at the mechanical race's father god, who was acting as a server in the virtual universe, and then at the mechanical race's universe lords, universe venerables, and even ordinary mechanical race members.
"You will act as information nodes to assist in the calculation!"
"Yes, and the Zerg Queen! The Zerg Queen is also skilled in calculation and can contribute to the Netherworld Kingdom. It would be a waste not to use her."
Looking at the main souls in the Netherworld God Kingdom, Qin Ming smiled. If he didn't let them go now, who would?
When the Six Paths of Reincarnation Secret Technique appeared, many things could be directly executed by the technique itself, which left some of the main souls "idle".
For example, the Zerg Queen is an example of this.
After acquiring the Wu Kingdom's legacy, Qin Ming opened it up to the human race, and naturally, it also opened it up to his Netherworld Divine Kingdom.
Given the Zerg Queen's early experience following him, she naturally had enough merit to obtain his inheritance, further nourished by the essence of her soul.
The Zerg Queen's strength has reached an astonishing tenth rank!
It's not much different from a giant axe.
When the entire Netherworld Divine Kingdom was mobilized by Qin Ming's single thought, the immense amount of data and information, gathered and compiled, finally allowed the Book of Life and Death to gradually become complete.
The entire primordial universe contains endless life and all information.
Time flows on in the cycle of life and death.
One by one, consciousness clones entered the six realms of reincarnation, starting with three thousand clones, then gradually increasing to thirty thousand, three hundred thousand, and so on, as they became more familiar with the process.
After countless reincarnations and countless hardships.
Qin Ming could feel that his state of mind was undergoing some kind of change. It wasn't the kind of extreme transformation of will, but rather a change of indifference!
A detached indifference that comes from seeing through everything!
Like a seemingly high and mighty emperor, from the initial感动 (moved feeling) to the final 常常 (accustomed to it), no matter how tragic or thrilling the love or friendship may be.
None of them could make him stir up any trouble.
"wrong!"
Qin Ming suddenly woke up.
Heaven is ruthless, treating all things like straw dogs; this is not what it desires.
At this moment, scenes flashed through my mind.
From the fear of war and smoke on Earth when I first arrived, to the joy of wielding the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls, to the excitement of leading China to sweep away the monsters.
Upon leaving Earth, he knelt before the Qianwu, became its disciple, and rose proudly in the Cosmic Genius Battle—scenes of witnessing the Lord of Darkness flashed before his eyes.
The faces of the Mountain Dweller, Darkness, Chaos, Giant Axe—Sky Eclipse, White Phoenix, and Luo Feng flashed through my mind.
"This is not what I wanted!"
In an instant, Qin Ming's memories, which had been eroded and influenced by countless reincarnations, suddenly erupted.
boom!
His will suddenly underwent a dramatic change.
They broke through the limits of the Eternal God and stepped into another level.
