My clan is super powerful

Professor Confucius's plan actually had many benefits for him as well.

Because Huo Ran humiliated the human race, he ended up having to punish himself to atone for his sins. If this story were to spread throughout the Desolate Sky Continent, almost no race would dare to provoke their small world again.

Professor Confucius deliberately sent Huo Ran to the delegation to find someone to take his last words back, partly to make the story spread!

After Huo Ran returned to the delegation, someone came over and whispered to him, and soon a slight commotion broke out within the delegation.

Clearly, Huo Ran had informed the monks in the visiting group about his decision and the deal with the human race.

Seeing some of the visiting monks already cheering impatiently, a professor sighed and said, "Professor Confucius, are you deliberately letting the fire burn back to experience the diversity of intelligent life?"

"I wonder if Huo Ran's reaction to seeing the cultivators celebrating their escape will change his mind."

"Are you trying to test His humanity in this way?"

Professor Confucius shook his head slightly and said, "You've misunderstood that. I sent him back to the delegation, not because of this."

“The will of beings like them is extremely firm. How could such a trivial matter possibly shake their will?”

"Perhaps, seeing those celebrating monks, He is feeling incredibly gratified."

"Because it was through His self-sacrifice that others were able to escape."

"The happier those people are, the more they affirm his sacrifice."

Upon hearing this, a professor nearby slowly spoke up and said, "Indeed, this must be the way of thinking of intelligent beings who have a spirit of contribution."

"Or rather, only cultivators with this mindset are qualified to embark on the path of achieving sainthood through merit."

Professor Confucius gave a soft "hmm" upon hearing this, and said nothing more.

Zhang Zhi, meanwhile, stood to the side, seemingly lost in thought.

It is unknown what Huo Ran discussed with the delegation, but more than an hour later, he finally arrived from the delegation again.

Moreover, it wasn't just Him who returned this time; dozens of people followed Him back to the crowd.

Huo Ran returned to the crowd, bowed deeply, and said, "Huo Ran has finished his errands and is here to die as promised."

"We hope that you gentlemen will keep your promise and cease your attacks on the Desolate Sky Continent."

The many cultivators who arrived with the fire bowed to the professors and said, "We are here to observe the ceremony. We humbly request your permission."

Looking at those people, Zhang Zhi thought to himself that not all the foreigners in the visiting delegation were ungrateful.

Professor Confucius glanced at those people, neither confirming nor denying, then turned to Huo Ran: "Are you sure you want to choose that method of corpse annihilation?"

"Is it physical disintegration? Water disintegration? Fire disintegration?"

"Or do you have other ideas?"

Upon hearing this, Huo Ran took a deep breath and then said in a somewhat weak voice, "Sir, could you give me a moment to consider this carefully?"

Professor Confucius nodded and said, "That is certainly possible."

"We're not in a rush, take your time to think it over."

Seeing Huo Ran's pale face and his deep thought, Professor Confucius suddenly turned to Zhang Zhi and said, "Come here for a moment, I have something I want to ask you."

Zhang Zhi was slightly taken aback when he heard this, thinking to himself, "Has Professor Confucius suddenly thought of something important that is related to me?"
Professor Confucius waved his hand, and a faint halo appeared around the two of them. Then, the two appeared at the location of the South Heavenly Gate.

After glancing at Liu Wanwan and the other two women not far away, He asked Zhang Zhi, "How much of the Six Paths of Reincarnation have you mastered?"

Upon hearing Professor Confucius's words, Zhang Zhi was startled.

After learning that the delegation from the Desolate Heaven Continent included many beings at the half-step God Realm, he took advantage of the opening of the Gates of Hell a few days ago while organizing his Spirit Treasure Small World to retrieve all the Six Paths of Reincarnation Laws into the Underworld.

With so many beings at the half-step God Realm in this delegation, there might be some among them who have a good understanding of the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

Therefore, in order to avoid any unexpected situations, after bringing all the laws of the Six Paths of Reincarnation back into the Underworld, he carefully checked them many times.

Logically speaking, there shouldn't be any Six Paths of Reincarnation within the Lingbao Small World.

Why did Professor Confucius say that?

What clue has He discovered?

Furthermore, since Professor Confucius has asked this question, should I tell him the truth?
After pondering for a while, Zhang Zhi slowly spoke, "Teacher, why did you suddenly ask this?"

Seeing that Zhang Zhi did not deny it, Professor Confucius did not press further, but instead explained, "Naturally, it's because of the fire."

"This guy is the kind of person most suited to the path of achieving sainthood through merit."

"If you control the Six Paths of Reincarnation, after this person falls, you can directly capture their soul and reincarnate them as a human. In this way, our human race will have another being who may achieve the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top."

After listening to Professor Confucius's words, Zhang Zhi was speechless.

This fire is still alive, and you, old man, have already started plotting against its soul, and even arranged its fate in a very clear way.

However, the underworld he currently controls is in a state of disrepair, and the Six Paths of Reincarnation have probably not even recovered one ten-thousandth of their original state. It is still a long way from being able to start reincarnation.

It might take another ten or eight epochs before this place can regain its ability to reincarnate.

After several thoughts flashed through his mind, Zhang Zhi shook his head and said, "Teacher, I can't do that!"

Upon hearing Zhang Zhi's words, Professor Confucius was not too disappointed. After all, he knew what it would mean for the entire multiverse, or rather, for the entire human race, if the Six Paths of Reincarnation were restored to the point where it could control reincarnation.

Moreover, if these six paths of reincarnation were truly so easy to recover from, we wouldn't have had to wait until now.

Heaven knows how many beings within the multiverse are thinking of restoring the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

So He settled for second best: "Then what about capturing His soul?"

"This should be doable, right?"

"Don't try to fool me with that. Although the Six Paths of Reincarnation don't exist in your little world right now."

“But I observe that within your small world, there are many traces of soul activity.”

"Moreover, many of the traces of activity are quite unusual and cannot be traces of normal soul activity." "This means that you must be able to control the activity of the soul through some means."

"Within this multiverse, there are not many cultivation paths that can control the soul, and the Six Paths of Reincarnation is one of them."

"Furthermore, I have also done some research on the Six Paths of Reincarnation. There are traces of the Six Paths of Reincarnation that have existed in your small world."

"Although I don't know how you concealed the Six Paths of Reincarnation, I have done some in-depth research on the Six Paths of Reincarnation before."

“If it were another professor, they might not have been able to detect the traces of the Six Paths of Reincarnation’s activities within your little world.”

"However, to me, the traces left by your Six Paths of Reincarnation are too obvious."

After hearing what Professor Confucius said, Zhang Zhicai suddenly realized that this was where the problem lay.

How could the Six Paths of Reincarnation leave traces of activity?
Upon closer reflection, that makes sense; any fluctuation in the laws of nature will leave a trace within the multiverse.

While not common in the multiverse, the means to detect traces left by magic array activities are certainly not rare either.

Just like the Multi-Armed Slaughterers can use the fluctuations of spatial arrays to detect teleportation within a certain range.

So he readily admitted, "If it's just about capturing that guy's soul, I think we can give it a try."

"However, don't get your hopes up too high. After all, that's the soul of a half-step God Realm expert."

After giving Zhang Zhi a deep look, Professor Confucius asked, "How is your path of the Six Paths of Reincarnation progressing?"

"I don't know how you opened up or obtained this path of cultivation."

"This cultivation path can indeed be said to have great potential."

"However, I need to warn you that there is great terror in the realm that this cultivation path leads to!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Zhi recalled the monsters that would appear every time the gates of hell opened. After a moment's thought, he asked, "Teacher, do you know what this great terror is?"

Professor Confucius shook his head upon hearing this: "This is the most secret of the multiverse. How many years has our human race risen? How many regions of the world have we come into contact with? How could we possibly come into contact with secrets of this level?"

"However, since your small world already has these six paths of reincarnation, I will help you try to trade some information related to these six paths of reincarnation within the Temple of Trade."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Zhi's face lit up with joy, and he quickly thanked her, saying, "Thank you, teacher!"

The information related to the six realms of reincarnation is indeed, as Professor Confucius just said, one of the most secret secrets of the entire multiverse, and may even involve the very foundation of the entire multiverse.

Therefore, there is very little information related to these six paths of reincarnation.

This is also an important reason why Zhang Zhi has not devoted much energy to the underworld in recent years.

The Six Paths of Reincarnation is a single cultivation path that leads directly to the realm of the Supreme God. However, everything related to the Six Paths of Reincarnation has now been blasted into pieces.

Moreover, for unknown reasons, the Six Paths of Reincarnation has become a cultivation path unknown to ordinary people, but deeply taboo among the higher-ups.

And then there are the monsters that appear every time the gates of hell open.

And the various risks along this cultivation path that I had vaguely gleaned from the limited information I had previously gathered.

All of this made him feel that if the underworld developed too quickly, it would definitely cause big problems.

With his current strength, he simply has no way of dealing with such a problem.

So how could he not be overjoyed to have the opportunity to obtain a large amount of information related to the path of the Six Paths of Reincarnation?

After taking a deep breath to calm himself down, Zhang Zhi asked, "Teacher, how much do you know about the Six Paths of Reincarnation and the laws governing them?"

Upon hearing Zhang Zhi's question, Professor Confucius pondered for a moment before speaking, "Regarding the Six Paths of Reincarnation, although I have been deliberately collecting relevant information since I ascended to the level of a main god."

"However, I don't actually have much information."

"I only know that the Six Paths of Reincarnation are a cultivation path related to the soul,"

"Knowing the six paths of reincarnation is a way of how the soul is reincarnated."

"Whoever controls the six paths of reincarnation controls the souls of all intelligent beings after death, which is equivalent to controlling the negative forces of the entire multiverse."

"In this way, we will control the future of the entire multiverse."

"Legend has it that this path of the six realms of reincarnation was destroyed by a coalition of many races for this very reason."

"Of course, this is just an unverified legend."

Zhang Zhi nodded slightly upon hearing this.

However, he knew in his heart that this legend was definitely false.

He was certain that the Six Paths of Reincarnation was a cultivation path that could lead directly to the realm of the God of War. How could a race that possessed a cultivation path that existed above the realm of the God of War and also controlled the Six Paths of Reincarnation be besieged and killed by other races?

This is likely a message deliberately released by the being that destroyed the path to the Six Paths of Reincarnation back then.

But why would the being that destroyed the path to the Six Paths of Reincarnation do this?
Furthermore, why did the consciousness of the multiverse entrust itself with the task of rebuilding the six realms of reincarnation?
Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, but he finally decided to share some of the information he had deduced with Professor Confucius: "Teacher, I don't think this rumor is convincing."

"Based on the power of the Six Paths of Reincarnation that I currently control, this path of the Six Paths of Reincarnation is very likely a cultivation path that can lead directly to the realm of the main god."

"Do you think that a race that has mastered this cultivation method might be attacked and wiped out by other races?"

Upon hearing Zhang Zhi's words, Professor Confucius's pupils contracted slightly, and then he asked Zhang Zhi in an extremely serious tone, "Are you sure?"

"Are you sure this Six Paths of Reincarnation can truly lead directly to the realm of a God?"

Zhang Zhi nodded solemnly and said, "I'm sure!"

Upon hearing Zhang Zhi's certainty, Professor Confucius let out a soft hiss and then fell into deep thought.

After a long while, He slowly spoke to Zhang Zhi, saying, "If your understanding is not mistaken, this is the true face of the so-called great terror in the six paths of reincarnation."

"From this perspective, it's highly likely that there are already beings above the God Realm within our multiverse."

"But why do those beings above the God Realm never show themselves?"

"Furthermore, why are they targeting the Six Paths of Reincarnation so specifically?" (End of Chapter)
