Chapter 414: The Destruction Race's Plotting - 414
Lin Zhenwu, the king of the destruction race, looked around the room.
Inside were the 21 destruction lords, and farther away were the other true gods of the destruction race.
The king of the destruction race spoke. "As of now, we are at a disadvantage against humanity, but our odds of truly losing are small. With high lord Hui's new array, we will be able to trap black holes and bring them back here. This will ensure that more and more talents will be born. Remember, talent mostly comes from chance. Even the weakest member of the destruction race self-destructing in the weakest black hole can produce another high lord. We must never stop reproducing."
The king of the destruction race stressed this point the most. There was no chance of victory if no new true gods were born.
He spoke again. "From some of our spies, we have learned of the existence of the true god ascension arena that the human race is monopolizing. It can allow a peak god to become a true god. While useless for us individually, it is a necessity for the future of the destruction race"
For the destruction race, creating spies was an easy task. The key point was to find someone's greatest secret and use it against them, forcing them to betray the righteous faction.
Although it would be hard for normal cultivators, there was one person in the destruction who excelled at it.
The high lord of shrinking. She was born with a shrinking divine physique and could shrink so small that even a true god may not be able to detect her unless they were expecting it.
The king of the destruction race spoke once again. "We must plot to use the true god ascension arena. I look forward to the outcome."
The king of the destruction race smiled. Nobody was as good at coming up with plans as the destruction race.
This was not only due to their natural instinct to do so that they had gained ever since being defeated, but also because of the final high lord, the high lord of thought.
He had a divine physique of thought. In short terms, it sped up the rate at which he thought. There was also no lack of other intelligent people such as the array high lord.
Even the king of the destruction race himself was very intelligent.
—----------------------------------
Over the next trillion years, the people of the righteous faction, which was everyone in the universe excluding the destruction race, noticed that random attacks had been occuring.
There always seemed to be no culprit, and no matter what level the attack was on, it always impacted a large number of people.
Eventually, the righteous sect headquarters understood what was going on. The destruction race was acting.
Under the order of the king of the destruction race, many places began to be destroyed down to the last molecule.
The righteous faction had to become much more active and split up members to keep watch.
Over time, as the attacks continued, spies began to be caught, and even a member of the destruction race had been captured, though he had killed himself immediately.
The destruction race's attacks slowed down due to the righteous faction's better responses, but they never stopped. The entire universe was on a mad hunt for the destruction race.
Many things were happening, but to Zhou Fan, it was all meaningless background noise. As long as the creation of worlds continued, there would be no issue.
The destruction race, as smart as they were, understood that the creation of worlds was started and had continued due to the will of the origin god, someone that even they had to respect and fear.
They did not make any actions against the people or places involved in the creation of worlds.
Time passed by and conflicts continued. As more and more time passed, there were even large scale battles between the destruction race and the righteous faction, though there was never a time that the destruction race could not retreat. Luckily, like the righteous faction, they had also suffered losses.
Around 25 quadrillion years passed.
Zhou Fan was watching the true god ascension arena battle as he always did, when the skies around it went dark.
It was only for a moment, but when the skies regained color, there were 10 members of the destruction race in the arena.
Everyone watching jumped to their feet, but the true god ascension arena could not be affected by anyone above the god realm until the battle ended.
Inside the true god ascension arena, the righteous faction members ganged up on the members of the destruction race, but there was little progress. After so many years of reproduction, the destruction race had sent out the 10 most talented people. Even among the cultivators participating in the true god ascension arena, they were top notch.
Of course, being ganged up on did not bode well for most of the destruction race.
9 of the 10 destruction race members died, with 7 of them self-destructing and killing multiple others.
It was all to help the true chosen one to succeed. There had been a battle exactly like the one that takes place in the true god ascension arena, but within the destruction race.
The winner was the one alive. The other 9 members had always been meant as cannon fodder.
In the end, the final member of the destruction race won and was promoted to the true god realm.
As the barrier surrounding the arena fell, he was faced with thousands of attacks, each one strong enough to injure him if he did not defend, and some strong enough to kill him no matter how hard he resisted.
Luckily, as the barrier began to fall, using items containing others' power was no longer restricted.
A ball appeared in the destruction race member's hand, and an array instantly formed around him. It was a miniature version of the black battle fortress.
It did almost nothing but buy the cultivator and instant, but once that instant had passed, he was already gone.
Teleportation arrays had been inside the mini black battle fortress.
Normally, the black battle fortress would have been instantly decimated and the destruction race member killed, but the ball had been powered by all of the true gods in the destruction race, including the king of the destruction race, for many many years.
Chapter 415: The Path of Rebirth - 415
Even with Ying Xiong's current strength, it would be impossible for him to instantly kill the king of the destruction race, even though he would absolutely win.
The destruction race had gained a new true god.
When news of this spread, the righteous faction could not help but feel humiliated. It had happened right under their noses, but they had never imagined that the destruction race would be so bold.
After this event, the area around the true god ascension arena was heavily fortified and layered with arrays.
Still, as always, the universe continued on.
Ying Xiong spent most of his time cultivating in the core realm of the great world, but on this day, he came to see Zhou Fan.
Zhou Fan looked at him as Ying Xiong spoke. "I keep having a feeling that you are going to do something big soon. I don't know what will happen, but I would like to request something before you do anything crazy."
Ying Xiong was still very respectful, much more so compared to before his reincarnation, but he seemed more relaxed on this visit. Since he had gained more memories upon entering the true god realm, it was not surprising.
"And what would that be?" Zhou Fan questioned.
"I would like to be able to reincarnate whenever I want. The same conditions would still apply." He asked.
Zhou Fan looked at him funny. "And why do you think that you have earned such a thing?"
He was genuinely curious as to why Ying Xiong would ask for such a thing.
"I can follow any condition or order that you have for me. I can also accept any limitation you put on the ability. This is my path, I can feel it." Ying Xiong said seriously.
Zhou Fan thought for a moment before speaking. "Your path? You believe that reincarnating over and over again is your path?"
"I do. I have done many things and have had many passions. Buddhism, the cosmic sect, teaching others, but this is different. I can feel that this may be the final destination of my growth." Ying Xiong said with passion.
Zhou Fan fell into thought. "Leave for now. I'll call you when I'm ready."
As Ying Xiong left, Zhou Fan fell even deeper into thought. To be honest, he was quite interested in what Ying Xiong could achieve through this path, but it would naturally need restrictions.
After a few days, Ying Xiong was called and met Zhou Fan.
Zhou Fan looked at him seriously. "I have come up with a possible path for you, but you must choose to accept or not accept now, without knowing anything about it."
"I see." Ying Xiong fell into deep thought.
After a while, he steeled his resolve. "Can you at least tell me the name of this path?"
"The path of rebirth."
Ying Xiong closed his eyes and made the difficult decision. "I agree."
Zhou Fan looked at him with a rare moment of indifference in his eyes.
"I hope you won't regret this path. As long as I live, so too will you."
Zhou Fan waved his hand, and Ying Xiong felt his body shoot far away. His mind went blank as he was shot off.
When he finally cleared his mind, his body felt different. Then, information poured into his mind.
"The path of rebirth. Upon dying, everything achieved, including impact on the universe, good or bad, and especially cultivation, will be turned into points upon judgment by the river of rebirth. The next reincarnation will be based on the points obtained. Talent can increase or stay the same, but never decrease. Keeps the thousand buddha divine physique. Obtains few memories at god realm and true god realm. Eternal life has been achieved."
This was the gist of the information in Ying Xiong's mind.
It would be very difficult to increase talent upon rebirth. As for what a river of rebirth was, Ying Xiong had no clue.
—---------------------------------
The river of cultivation was a large and constantly moving river with an end, yet no end. To the side was a small path of water. It was the soul disconnect path.
Also to the side, branching off of the main river, was a new path. The path of rebirth, reserved for only one person, Ying Xiong.
He would cultivate like all others who followed the main river, but there was a new set of rules applied to him.
It also signified Ying Xiong's eternal life, whether he wanted it or not. Lifespan could not kill him anymore. Only two things could kill him, and only one seemed possible.
One, Zhou Fan could kill him. Two, someone in the future, who surpassed Zhou Fan, could kill him. But would such a day come?
Although this was asked for by Ying Xiong, would he truly be willing to live an eternal life? At the very least, it would be a help to take away most of his memories upon death.
While Zhou Fan had not surpassed lifespan, he was able to stop Ying Xiong's soul from losing its lifespan as long as it was younger than he was. Naturally, it would always be younger than him.
This was not an ability that could be cultivated by an ordinary cultivator, whether in the same realm as Zhou Fan or above.
This was an ability that only Zhou Fan wielded. Another example was creating life. How many had successfully done so, despite being gods and true gods.
It was not as simple as, high cultivation = being able to do something. It seemed on an entirely different level.
Even Zhou Fan did not understand why he could do so many things that others could not. He could only make guesses. Being the first cultivator, Chaos Qi, etc, but it was all just a guess in the end.
As Ying Xiong stood in space silently and thought about the changes, Zhou Fan shifted his attention away from him.
The creation of worlds first stage was more complete than before, though it was unknown when it would finish.
Most created areas had simply been created. There was still a need for life and balance in the worlds.
