Chapter 360: The End of Reincarnation

At this moment, Chen Xiao’s entire mind was devoted to merging the two great laws. Outside his body, a pale blue water curtain enveloped him, while within that curtain, black and white air currents rotated and blended continuously. Now, Chen Xiao was fully committed without any reservation, not even holding back a trace of caution—making him extremely vulnerable.

On the other side, atop the bamboo hut, Mo Xian sat with her feet propped up, staring at Chen Xiao in bewilderment. “Does he really trust me that much?” she murmured, filled with disbelief. At this moment, something inexplicable arose in her heart—unreserved trust, open cultivation, and even the exposure of all his weaknesses. What more could Mo Xian ask for?

…

Meanwhile, Chen Xiao once again entered that mysterious realm, where the confrontation between the dark-haired man and those giant eyes repeated endlessly in his mind. This time, Chen Xiao not only understood the dark-haired man’s techniques but also observed the attacks emitted by those giant eyes, practicing them over and over. Within Chen Xiao’s body, the two great laws drew increasingly closer, yet no matter what, they could not merge to form a new law. An inexplicable repulsive force always existed between them. Though the distance between them was invisible to the naked eye or even divine perception, it felt as though they were separated by vast distances.

At that moment, a faint glow suddenly emerged from the core of Chen Xiao’s dantian. A vague figure seemed to drift forth from there.

…

“Kanrelas… you’re still alive after all…”
In the Main God’s space, Shui Miao suddenly opened her eyes, looking at the woman before her. She wore blue clothes and hair, surrounded by ripples of water.

“Have you reached that stage?” Shui Miao asked, staring at Kanrelas.

“Mm,” Kanrelas nodded. “Shui Miao, or rather, Goddess Shentian, have your memories returned?” Kanrelas countered with a question.

“Mm,” Shui Miao nodded again.

“Sigh…” Then, Shui Miao let out a sigh. “I never expected that out of the four of us siblings, only I would survive by chance.”

“It’s not luck—it’s fate,” Kanrelas said, meeting Shui Miao’s gaze directly. “Goddess Changsheng transformed into the Heavenly Realm, Goddess Wulan into the Divine Realm, and Goddess Youlong into the Netherworld. The collision of these three primal worlds and three realms has already severely damaged that existence. Your survival as Goddess Shentian is no accident.”

Kanrelas spoke slowly.

“But in the end, I failed,” Shui Miao said with a bitter smile. “I lost everything in the end. The person I am now is just a reborn version of myself, no longer Goddess Shentian.” She let out a soft sigh.

“But everything you have remains in this primal world you created—you haven’t lost anything,” Kanrelas said.

In fact, the Main God’s space was precisely the primal world transformed by Shui Miao, that is, Goddess Shentian—just like the Heavenly Realm, the Divine Realm, and the Netherworld.

It’s just that this Primordial God Space was refined by an extraordinary being, turning it into something that exists between a world and a divine artifact. It was precisely because of this that the nearly vanished spirit of the Divine Heaven Immortal Lord was preserved, becoming the spirit of this current Primordial God Space—Shui Miao.
“He… Chen Xiao, is he the final step you’ve arranged?” Shui Miao asked after a brief pause.
“Yes,” Kanrelas nodded. “Originally, our target wasn’t him. He was just an unknown variable who accidentally got involved. But we never expected this variable to become a fixed factor and lead us to this point.”
“Is he useful?” Shui Miao shook her head. “Chen Xiao’s future abilities will be just as strong as mine back then—equipped with water and life-and-death rules alike—but he still won’t be a match for that being.”
“That’s enough,” Kanrelas said with a faint smile. “Now, including me, there are already seven Immortal Lords in the City of Chaos. We’ve suppressed the approaching traces of the Heavenly Orbits. All we need is for the Divine Heaven Immortal Lord to regain his strength and Chen Xiao to become an Immortal Lord, after which we’ll combine our forces to utterly destroy that being and gain the power of immortality.”
“Seven Immortal Lords?” Shui Miao was stunned.
“That’s right. One person’s strength isn’t enough to match that being, but if nine Immortal Lords unite their forces and still fail, then nothing can be done.”
Nine is the ultimate number; the maximum number of Immortal Lords that can exist is nine. Shui Miao is already one of them, so while the other seven wait for her to revive and surround the Divine Heaven Immortal Lord again, they must cultivate another Immortal Lord.
“Ah, the Divine Realm has fallen, the Nether Realm is in peril, and even the Heavenly Realm won’t last long,” Shui Miao said, shaking her head. “In the past, the three realms—Heaven, Gods, and Nether—worked together to keep that being in check, preventing it from sensing the presence of the City of Chaos. But once the Nether Realm falls, I’m afraid you Immortal Lords will be hunted down and erased one by one, just like our four siblings before.”
“The Heavenly Realm and Nether Realm won’t perish, the Divine Realm will rise again, and even… the Demon Realm will reappear!”
Kanrelas seemed completely confident, untroubled at all.
“The Demon Realm… the world created by the Primordial Immortal Lord…” Shui Miao sighed.
Breaking through to become an Immortal Lord, transcending life and death—such was the status of the Immortal Lord seen by Chen Xiao, the man with black hair. The second such being wasn’t the Immortal Lord Wulan, but the Primordial Immortal Lord. However, after gaining the experience of the Immortal Lord of Immortality, the Primordial Immortal Lord transformed his body into a realm to confront that being, only to have his soul erased, turning into the Demon Realm, without even harming the other side slightly.
Later, the Immortal Lord Wulan and the Immortal Lord Youlong also gained experience but still failed, turning into the Heavenly Realm and Nether Realm. Yet it was the balance of these four fundamental realms that kept that supreme being in check, hiding the presence of the Heavenly Lord. Otherwise, once any being in the universe understood life and death and became an Immortal Lord, that being would surely appear to erase them.

But then, deep in the universe, another world seemed to emerge, repeatedly striking the four primal worlds. The first to fall and turn into a dead world was the Demon Realm. The Demon Realm was the world of supernatural abilities that Chen Xiao was familiar with. As for the God Realm later on, it was in a state of apparent death, merely a tactic employed by a few Immortal Lords. Using the essence of the God Realm to revive the Demon Realm! In fact, the guardians of the world of supernatural abilities were the subordinates of these Immortal Lords. Yet, only a few were qualified to be involved in these matters and know the truth, even the Godly Sovereigns who controlled the rules were unaware. “That’s right. If the Hunyuan Immortal Lord had succeeded in injuring that existence back then, perhaps you, the Shentian Immortal Lord, would have already broken the cycle of life and death and gained the right to live forever.” Kanrelas spoke with slight emotion. “Is that so?” Shui Miao sighed. “Life and death—there are rules governing all things. Only through cycles can they continue to exist. Can breaking life and death truly allow one to live forever?” “Live on, live on…” Kanrelas also became lost in thought. Immortal Lords were those who understood the rules of life and death. The deeper their understanding, the clearer they saw the true nature of life and death. Yet they could only comprehend them, not control them. Otherwise, nothing could kill them. “But that existence has always been alive, hasn’t it?” Kanrelas said firmly. “It can, and so can we. As long as our power is strong enough, we can destroy it in one strike, break the boundaries of life and death, and allow more and more beings to survive.” “If it truly could live forever, it wouldn’t be destroyed by you.” Shui Miao raised her head and looked at the starry sky. This Main God Space was the body of her past life. “Do you know? The end of the cycle is approaching,” Kanrelas said gravely, his tone shifting. “At the end of the cycle, all things and all beings will enter the cycle, decay, and die—even Immortal Lords are no exception. And behind it all is that existence.” “What?” Shui Miao was stunned. “The seven of us have been in chaos for countless cycles,” Kanrelas said, finding it hard to believe himself. “In chaos, we discovered many ruins, even remnants of Immortal Lords and worlds. Those remnants weren’t the beings we knew. So we inferred that before us, there must have been one or even countless periods when life flourished. And facts prove our inference is correct. What destroyed that time was what’s known as the end of the cycle.” As he spoke, Kanrelas gently tapped his finger, and a water-screen scroll slowly unfolded at his fingertip. It showed a once-prosperous world where all beings thrived. But one day, a pair of blood-red giant eyes suddenly appeared in the sky of that world. Soon after, a river that spanned the universe descended from the sky, flooding the world instantly. All beings were destroyed, and the world returned to chaos.

Soon, chaos reigned once more, giving rise to another world. Countless creatures multiplied within it and gradually understood the ways of cultivation. But one day, those giant eyes appeared again, accompanied by that great river, and destroyed the world. This cycle repeated itself thirty thousand times—thirty thousand worlds were destroyed, and thirty thousand worlds were born. “This…” Shui Miao was utterly shocked; she couldn’t believe such things could exist. Among those thirty thousand worlds, there were many powerful immortals, but they were all destroyed by that great river. Moreover, Shui Miao noticed a pattern: seemingly every fixed number of worlds, those blood-red giant eyes would appear, bringing the river to destroy everything. Shui Miao’s mind raced as she began to calculate quickly. “Is it coming soon?” Shui Miao took a deep breath.
