Chapter 529 Integration of Pollution, Corruption, and Devouring Gu-Raising Grounds
Chapter 528

In the Great Realm of Reincarnation, all the inhabitants of the Reincarnation Realm returned to their own universes.

They already knew that Rosen's undying will, fused with corruption and decay, was about to be implanted within them.

They even know that their own self-awareness will become nourishment for pollution and corruption.

Of course, no one wants to die, but they had no other choice but to accept it.

That madman, the Will of Reincarnation, has already cut off the escape route of the Great Realm of Reincarnation.

The current Samsara Realm is a powder keg, which could be completely destroyed at any time due to pollution and corruption.

When they fall into the vast wasteland, the pollution and decay they will face will only be more terrifying.

Rosen did offer them a way out. Each of them had a portion of their immortal will uploaded to the Destiny Network and backed up by the Emperor's will. Even if the original body eventually became nourishment for Rosen's immortal will, at least they still had a chance to be resurrected thanks to the backup of their immortal will.

As long as they possess value and utility, they need not worry that Rosen will not resurrect them in the future.

If even Rosen can't survive, at least they won't have to fall into the vast wasteland; they can die a quicker death in the Great Realm of Reincarnation.

Of course, this is an absolutely rational idea, and not all reincarnation citizens can remain absolutely rational.

Many of the reincarnated citizens had the idea that if they couldn't live, no one else should either. Some even thought they would rather die than let Rosen live. Others were unwilling to live a life of compromise and preferred to die a glorious death rather than live a wretched existence.

However, this part of the cycle of life did not cause much of a stir until their death.

First, the Emperor's will naturally suppressed the strength of the Reincarnation Citizens by more than half. Second, there is a huge to crushing difference in strength between those who transcend Reincarnation and those who are in ordinary Reincarnation. Finally, Rosen gave them no chance to band together. All the rebels were defeated one by one by him and several clones who had transcended Reincarnation.

With the example set to scare others and the underlying principles laid out, the remaining inhabitants of the cycle of reincarnation had no choice but to accept their fate.

As each seed takes root and sprouts, the already 0.1% level of pollution and decay is diluted more than two billion times. Although it can still obliterate the self-awareness of reincarnated life, the reincarnated life has already acquired the ability to resist.

Even those who have resigned themselves to the cycle of reincarnation find it difficult to withstand the devastation that pollution and corruption inflict on their self-awareness.

Because that kind of pain surpasses all known pain in the world, watching one's self-awareness being gradually eroded, fear and despair will gradually accumulate, and what is even more terrifying is that in the torment of this slow death, they do not even have the right to commit suicide.

Because suicide cannot provide enough nutrients for the seed to grow successfully.

Furthermore, the undying will itself possesses terrifying regenerative and restorative abilities, which makes countless reincarnation subjects unable to live or die.

Time flies, and years pass like a shuttle; time flows like water through a cycle of an era.

Of the more than two billion reincarnated people, fewer than two hands are still alive.

All the rest perished, and the fruits that bore fruit nourished by the undying will all became resources for the growth of Rosen's undying will.

Deep within the void of the ancient tree of the Cycle of Reincarnation, a vast ocean floated before Rosen's eyes.

This is an ocean formed by the convergence of countless undying wills, filled with immense polluting and corrupting forces.

If the original strength was 0.1, the current strength has reached 1.

Although it's not enough to come into contact with the corruption and decay at the swarm level, it's no longer a problem to come into contact with the three breeding grounds created by the Primordial Heavenly Kings. Once the corruption and decay power of the three breeding grounds is completely digested, then one can finally try to devour the swarm and control its corruption and decay.

In the blink of an eye, the vast ocean of undying will before Rosen transformed into a droplet that floated before him.

The four forces within these undying wills are currently not stable enough.

However, it is no longer as unstable as it was at the beginning, because the structure of the four forces has changed.

Since the forces of pollution and corruption are incorporated into it, they will disrupt the perfect balance of the remaining three.

The solution is actually quite simple: pollution and corruption are divided into three parts, each merging separately with self-awareness, the origin of life, and the spiritual origin. This will allow for a new, perfect triangular balance. The sacrifices of countless reincarnations over the years have facilitated the merging of pollution and corruption with self-awareness.

The origin of life and the origin of divinity have now completely merged and coexisted with the corrupting forces of pollution, which are of equal intensity.

Self-awareness alone can only barely resist pollution and corruption, and can only barely coexist with pollution and corruption through the trinity of undying will. As for merging, coexisting, and mutually benefiting, it is still impossible at present.

The symbiotic fusion of pollution, decay, and the origin of life successfully spurred the evolution of Dark Sun Eye.

Then, through symbiotic integration with the spiritual source, the Eye of Night underwent a transformation and evolution.

These two are products of the reincarnation will based on the power of pollution and corruption. Now that they have merged with pollution and corruption, once the transformation and evolution are complete, they may even give birth to extraordinary organs that transcend the unknown realm above reincarnation.

When one cycle of reincarnation ends, it should activate the spacetime reincarnation and begin a new cycle of reincarnation.

However, this time, the time loop was not activated.

Because the inner dark side and the outer positive side of the Great Realm of Reincarnation have already generated a repulsion due to the immense karmic resentment.

The reincarnation authority originating from the dark side, whose core immune system was held back by the swarm of insects, had no remaining power to enable the surface reincarnation realm to generate a time-space cycle. Therefore, the time-space cycle that had existed for more than 100,000 reincarnation eras failed for the first time.

Each time time and space cycle occurs, the Great Realm of Reincarnation becomes weaker, but this weakness is equivalent to scraping the bone to remove poison.

Now that the cycle of time and space has stopped, the Great Realm of Reincarnation will not only not become weaker in the short term, but will become stronger instead. However, the degree of pollution and corruption will gradually intensify, and in the long run, it will only lead to a terminal poisoning and accelerated death.

Rosen's gaze passed over the ancient tree of the Reincarnation Era, then crossed the surface of the Great Reincarnation Realm and went straight to its inner layers.

Since the Will of Reincarnation integrated Blue Star into the dark side of the Great Realm of Reincarnation, using Blue Star to make up for the loss of the surface Great Realm of Reincarnation in the dark side, the Will of Reincarnation has been taking the opportunity to strip the ruler of Reincarnation of his authority. After one reincarnation era, he is almost successful.

However, the state of the will of reincarnation is very bad; the pollution and corruption within its body are becoming increasingly difficult to suppress.

The pollution and decay that was originally sealed inside the body has now spread to the surface.

Half of the reincarnation master's authority in the Dark Realm of Reincarnation merges with the self-consciousness of the Great Being, becoming inseparable.

Even if one's self-awareness has weakened to the point of being reduced to mere instinct, it is not an easy task to strip the ruler of reincarnation of his authority.

The will to reincarnate can be stripped away entirely because one's own spiritual origin and the great being share the same origin.

However, this also inevitably exposes Him to a level of pollution and corruption with an intensity of nine. Even the self-awareness of a great being is obliterated by this level of pollution and corruption, let alone the self-awareness of the will of reincarnation. Therefore, the countdown to the death of the will of reincarnation has already begun.

Rosen estimated that in a few hundred billion years, the self-awareness of the reincarnation will inevitably be corrupted and obliterated by the pollution of strength nine.

The Will of Reincarnation is risking its life so recklessly, according to him, so that it can hand over the other half of the reincarnation's ruling power to him. A dying man's words are often wise, and sometimes he even doubts whether he's being too suspicious.

Rosen took out three thousand portions of transcendent resources and integrated them into the indestructible will before him, which was now fused with the intensity of pollution and corruption.

Nourished and elevated by transcendent resources, the undying will quickly transforms into an avatar that transcends reincarnation.

Although his undying will has already mastered the level one corruption, he has not yet integrated this part of his undying will into his main body, because he will never allow his main body to be tainted by corruption until he is 100% certain of its safety.

Rosen sent his clone into the Gu-breeding ground created by Pangu, which was the weakest of the three Gu-breeding grounds.

In the creation god system of Earth, Pangu is one of the few creation gods who perished after creating the world.

Comparatively speaking, the Heavenly King Yuanshi and Yinglong are portrayed as much more powerful in creation myths.

Because it was also a pollution and corruption of the same intensity, Rosen's clone was able to thrive in the breeding ground.

There was absolutely no danger; it was simply rapidly absorbing the corrupting and polluting power and the essence of Pangu.

During this absorption process, Rosen discovered that Pangu did not actually possess an immortal will system.

Rather, it is a system of heaven, earth, and humanity. The world created by Pangu possesses three powers: the Way of Heaven, the Way of Earth, and the Way of Humanity. The Way of Heaven is composed of the natural laws of all things in the world, the Way of Earth is the material foundation of the world, and the Way of Humanity is the collection of the will of all living beings.

The fusion of the three forces of Heaven, Earth, and Man can form the Pangu Will, whose strength is no less than that of the Undying Will.

Pangu's will does not possess the powerful regenerative and restorative abilities of an immortal will, but it can significantly enhance its control over the world.

As Rosen's clones gradually devoured the world created by Pangu, the corrupting power within his clones grew stronger, quickly breaking through the limit of intensity one and reaching intensity two. This also prompted the Undying Will to be further strengthened by using Pangu's Will as nourishment.

Millions of years later, the land where Pangu had created to raise Gu had been completely devoured by his clones.

Rosen's clone immediately moved to the breeding ground of Yinglong. Like Pangu, the world transformed by Yinglong also possessed the power of a trinity, which was the very familiar trinity of creation, transformation, and destruction.

Creation corresponds to the Way of Heaven and the origin of spirituality; creation corresponds to the Way of Earth and the origin of life; destruction corresponds to pollution, corruption, and self-consciousness.

Rosen used these three powers as nourishment, successfully prompting the undying will of his clone to undergo another transformation.

Although the Yinglong World is stronger than the Pangu World, the intensity of the clone's corruption and decay is level two. It is almost effortless for the clone to devour the level one corruption and decay of the Yinglong Gu-raising ground. Unknowingly, the transformation of the undying will within the clone has also entered a snowballing mode.

In just a few hundred thousand years, the clone has already devoured the Yinglong world, increasing the intensity of pollution and corruption to level three.

When the clone finally entered the world created by the Primordial Heavenly King, it was no surprise that this world also possessed the power of the Trinity.

The most proficient power of the Primordial Heavenly King is the One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones. With the Primordial Heavenly Venerable as the head, he splits into two avatars: the Moral Heavenly Venerable and the Spiritual Treasure Heavenly Venerable. These three avatars can freely gather and disperse and merge, each independent yet perfectly integrated.

When Rosen's clones devoured this world, they discovered that the One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones technique was an extraordinary power that transcended the cycle of reincarnation.

So far, all of these, including the cycle of time and space and the cycle of cause and effect, are sacred methods of reincarnation.

It seems that there are no extraordinary skills in the entire cycle of reincarnation that transcend the level of reincarnation.

This is clearly abnormal. Transcending reincarnation exists, but there are no extraordinary skills at the level of transcending reincarnation.

The only explanation Rosen could think of was that the great being had deliberately set this restriction, because the birth of an overly powerful being in the Great Realm of Reincarnation would threaten the great being. However, it was obvious that the Primordial Heavenly King's One Qi Transformation into Three Pure Ones had broken this restriction.

Is this within the Great Realm of Reincarnation? It's something that should be impossible to accomplish no matter what.

Therefore, Rosen suspects that the Primordial Heavenly King may have left the Samsara Realm and gone to the vast wasteland.

As the clone devoured the vast wasteland transformed from the Primordial Heavenly King, Rosen's clone also mastered the One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones.

He can divide his undying will into three parts, forming three completely independent yet perfectly integrated clones.

The self-consciousness manifests as the primary entity, while the life origin and spiritual origin manifest as secondary entities.

The three clones all incorporated the power of pollution and corruption, successfully dividing the power of pollution and corruption within their bodies into three separate entities.

After consuming the world transformed from the Primordial Heavenly King, the corruption intensity controlled by the clone has reached level 4.

Although the undying will is also growing, the self-awareness is finding it difficult to control this intensity of pollution and corruption.

However, after the One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones split the Undying Will into three, the Corruption also split into three, greatly reducing the damage to self-awareness. This allowed self-awareness, whose growth rate could not keep up with the rate of increase in the intensity of Corruption, to easily integrate and control Corruption of intensity 4.

Rosen was initially worried that even after consuming three breeding grounds, he still wouldn't be able to directly confront the pollution and corruption of the insect swarm's strength level five.

After all, no one knows better than him how terrifying it is to defeat a stronger opponent with a weaker one.

He could never have raised the level of corruption from 0.1 to 1 if he hadn't sacrificed all his reincarnation subjects.

The Great Realm of Reincarnation no longer has enough nutrients to allow him to upgrade his level 4 Corruption to level 5.

Therefore, when faced with the swarm of insects, he could only use the method of a snake swallowing an elephant, using a level 4 level of pollution and corruption to devour a level 5 level of pollution and corruption. The success rate was not zero, but it was very close to zero.

However, with the "One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones" technique, the success rate of Rosen's snake swallowing the elephant increased to over 90%.

Seeing that the breeding ground for Gu, which was transformed by the Primordial Heavenly King, had also disappeared, the Jade Emperor did not hesitate to step into the insect swarm universe that had trapped the insect swarm.

The Supreme God of Heaven is also one of the creator gods. After entering the Zerg universe, He also transformed into the world without hesitation.

What was originally the insectoid universe of the starry sky was forcibly reshaped by the Jade Emperor into the three realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man.

All swarms were split into three, reducing the overall threat level by at least three times.

Rosen didn't know what the relationship was between the Will of Reincarnation and the Jade Emperor, but he could never make them sacrifice themselves to pave the way for him without hesitation. If he dared to make the Lord of Night sacrifice himself, the Lord of Night would rather die than let him get away with it.

While becoming increasingly wary of the will of reincarnation, Rosen manipulated his clones to step into the insectoid universe and began to devour the insectoid swarm from the celestial realm.

The swarm of insects originates from the corpses of great beings, and all beings in the cycle of reincarnation originate from the spiritual essence of great beings.

The two are of the same origin. As Rosen's clone devoured the insect swarm, the intensity of the pollution and corruption within his own body also began to increase. As the first wave of insects was swallowed, and as the intensity of the pollution and corruption increased from four to five, the transformation of the Dark Sun Eye and the Night Eye, which the clone had mastered, finally crossed the last limit.
