Mortals get a golden finger for immortal cultivation every year

"It seems your little wife is quite remarkable, managing to obtain the entire inheritance of the Phoenix Nest. It's truly unexpected; I originally thought she would only receive a portion, but I never imagined she would obtain the entire inheritance."

The Rakshasa princess was quite surprised to see Mu Lingxi, who had received all the inheritance.

After all, she knew Mu Lingxi's physique very well. No matter how powerful she was, she could only obtain half of the Phoenix Nest's inheritance at most, but she never expected that she would obtain the entire inheritance.

"I have to thank you for this. If it weren't for your help, it would have taken me a lot of effort to bring her here. But how did you know there was a shortcut here? Even I didn't know that."

Zhao Shuang frowned and questioned the Rakshasa princess in front of him. The Rakshasa princess was no longer just a simple Rakshasa princess, but a reincarnation of an ancient god from the Yama clan.

Other races do not have the power of reincarnation, but the Yama Clan does. After all, they are the supreme race in the underworld. Her ability to reincarnate was not solely due to her original strength, but also with the help of the Yama Clan. In order to make her reincarnation smoother, she almost destroyed the Yama Clan to obtain this opportunity.

"You've been dead for a hundred thousand years, and this Ancestral Spirit Realm only appeared in the Heavenly Court Realm in the last tens of thousands of years. Of course you don't know any of this. If you did, things would be terrible. It's already quite remarkable that you were able to obtain such a thing. That old bald monk went to great lengths to arrange all of this. I never expected that old bald monk would place such a thing in a world like this. It seems that the gods of the Ancestral Spirit Realm were able to become gods through that old bald monk's arrangement."

The Rakshasa princess also referred to that old bald monk as "old bald monk."

"Alright, all this is useless. Quickly tell me why you chose the path of reincarnation? You should know that you originally had the potential to become a god, but you gave it up and chose to reincarnate. Even if you can reincarnate, you will need to cultivate again. Moreover, why did you choose to reincarnate into the Rakshasa clan instead of your Yama clan? Aren't you just asking for trouble?"

Zhao Shuang didn't stand on ceremony and directly asked her to explain why she was reincarnated.

"Well, that's naturally because of you. I paid a heavy price to finally deduce that the Rakshasa princess and you were destined to be together. So I didn't hesitate to enter this cycle of reincarnation and become the Rakshasa princess. In this way, this destiny is mine, it's between you and me. This way, it doesn't disrupt the original fate. You should know how difficult it is to understand and break fate. And you are the root of the disruption. So I also want to see what level you can reach. Can you become the number one in the Heavenly Realm and the Hell Realm? Can you reach the realm you once mentioned? If you can really reach that realm, then it will prove one thing: that my choices and everything I've paid have not been in vain."

The Rakshasa princess smiled and explained the reason. Of course, Zhao Shuang didn't believe a word of it.

Although he didn't believe it, he understood that everything the Rakshasa princess said was very likely true. However, he didn't believe a word of the Rakshasa princess's feelings for him. Although the two had had some relationship, he didn't believe a word of her feelings.

Those relationships couldn't possibly have cost her so much; there must be another reason.

"Alright, alright, stop spouting this nonsense in front of me. Whether I believe what you say or not, why are you so sure that we are destined to be together?"

Zhao Shuang asked a question that concerned her most: why did the Rakshasa princess believe that the two of them must have a marriage? It was completely unrealistic.

"I already said that this is my calculation, and of course I believe I am right. If I am wrong, you should know that as long as you can reach that level, then everything I am doing now is correct, and you can even obtain true immortality."

The Rakshasa princess's words silenced Zhao Shuang, because he had indeed paid such a high price and chosen reincarnation in pursuit of this goal.

The main reason was that he discovered that even though he had become the number one in both the Heavenly Realm and the Hell Realm, he still couldn't escape the shackles of fate, nor could he escape the constraints of lifespan. One day, his lifespan would end, and on that day, breaking free from the shackles of fate would be impossible. Most importantly, he had become a pawn of that old man, and once you become someone's pawn, changing your fate is virtually impossible.

Under these circumstances, he had no choice but to die, but even though he chose death, he didn't want to truly die. That's why he chose the path of reincarnation. He wanted to see if he could thwart that old man's plan. That's why he chose this path; he also wanted to see if he could change everything and then break through to the final level. If he succeeded, then everything he had done before wouldn't have been in vain. If he failed, he could simply die again; after all, he had to break free from the shackles of fate.

This was his bottom line, and he had to do it no matter the cost. Not many people knew this, except for the Yama clan member.

After all, there was a past relationship between them, and she was once the person he loved. It was precisely because of this that he accidentally revealed it. It's too late to make amends now. Unless he eliminates her, but even then, if she leaves a confession, it will be a troublesome matter, and the truth could easily spread, which wouldn't be good.

So under these circumstances, he had no choice but to let her go. But to his utter surprise, she chose to reincarnate on the same path as him, and even created a reincarnated form—a princess of the Rakshasa clan.

This was completely beyond his expectations, and it all went beyond his original plan. Therefore, he was quite troubled and wanted to find out the truth. The other party's answer only made him more troubled.

"Alright, this time you not only obtained the treasure left behind by the old bald monk, but you also helped the Kunlun Realm and the Guanghan Realm escape the fate of becoming battlefields of merit. It can be said that you saved countless lives this time. But, are you really not planning to return to the Hell Realm? If you return to the Hell Realm with your status, the Hell Realm will definitely welcome you warmly and will absolutely not allow you to regain your former strength, or even surpass it, in the shortest possible time. Although you have many grudges with the Hell Realm, you have also helped the Hell Realm a lot. Without you, the Heavenly Court and the Hell Realm would not exist, and they would not be able to coexist peacefully. So many years without any large-scale wars have minimized the losses on both sides. Although there have been holy wars of merit, they were for the competition of resources and are not considered major grudges. Anyway..." Once the Holy War of Merit begins, the worlds that become battlegrounds will be the ones to suffer. Once a world becomes a battlefield, it's not far from destruction; it won't have a chance to exist. Therefore, the enmity between the two sides isn't that deep. If it weren't for you, the Heavenly Realm and the Hell Realm would probably have perished together long ago. Even if one side were to win, the losses would be devastating. Moreover, you said that the Heavenly Realm and the Hell Realm are essentially two super-worlds, not the "most powerful in the universe." Because beyond the Heavenly Realm and the Hell Realm, there are even more powerful and terrifying worlds. If one cannot break through that final level to become an immortal, then the Heavenly Realm and the Hell Realm will also become a battlefield in the future. At that time, we might all die, and die without a burial place.”

"Therefore, you have made great contributions to both the Heavenly Realm and the Hell Realm. So I hope you can return to the Hell Realm, which is much better than those despicable villains in the Heavenly Realm. No, they should be much better hypocrites."

"Alright, alright, stop saying these things. It's no use saying them anyway. At least in my eyes, the Heavenly Court still has some benefits. At least I don't plan to return to the Hell Realm right now. Even if I do return to the Hell Realm, I'll need to continue to improve my strength before I go back. I'm not ready yet because I haven't gained enough benefits from the Heavenly Court. When I've gained enough benefits, I'll naturally return to the Hell Realm. You can rest assured."

"As for you, do you now consider yourself either a princess of the Rakshasa clan or an ancient god of the Yama clan? Make your own choice, and don't make the wrong one, otherwise the consequences will be unpredictable. If you continue to be the princess of the Rakshasa clan, then in the future you may become the first person of the Rakshasa clan. If you choose to return to the Yama clan, the Yama clan will definitely change your body to become a member of the Yama clan, but if you want to become the first person of the Rakshasa clan, that is an impossible thing."

"So you'd better think this through and be prepared. Don't think you can gain the approval of both races; it's unlikely, even unrealistic. You decide what to do; I won't interfere. As for what you said about having a predestined relationship with me, I can promise you that if one day I can truly restore everything to what it was before, I will definitely marry you. Of course, you'll only be one of my wives; don't even think about having me all to yourself."

Zhao Shuang's last words made the Rakshasa princess blush slightly, but she still nodded.

"It's a deal. Remember everything you said, and don't forget it."

After saying this, the Rakshasa princess left without saying anything more and disappeared. Zhao Shuang knew how she left and disappeared, but he had no intention of following her. He needed to wait here for Mu Lingxi to inherit all the inheritances. He was too lazy to care about the situation outside. Anyway, he was sure that Guanghan Realm would win first place this time.

If Guanghan Realm can win first place, then he will have fulfilled his promise to the Moon Goddess.

Once he fulfills his promise, the rest is largely none of his concern. As for the Kunlun Realm, barring any unforeseen circumstances, they should both have secured first place in the Great Sage Merit Holy War and the Holy King Merit Holy War.

As long as either side wins first place, the Kunlun Realm won't become a battlefield for the Holy War of Merit. As for the gods, that depends on the Empress's abilities. If the Empress is powerful enough, she has a good chance of becoming the first in the God War. If she wins, the future will be unimaginable. At the very least, anyone who attacks the Kunlun Realm in the future must assist the entire Heavenly Court Realm without any disobedience. This was a rule he established, or rather, a rule he established with the various heavens of the Heavenly Court Realm. And those heavens of the Heavenly Court Realm are all related to him.

Some are enemies, some are benefactors; the relationships are all different. Those who are enemies can only watch helplessly as they want to eliminate him, while those who are benefactors naturally have a deep friendship and will generally agree to his requests.

Those who harbor grudges are naturally those who have been beaten up by him, and not badly at that. For example, that old guy in the Heavenly Realm was beaten up terribly by him, terribly terribly.

If it weren't for good luck, he might have lost his life, but there was nothing he could do about it; he was genuinely angry back then. While Zhao Shuang awaited Mu Lingxi's inheritance of the Great Sage's legacy, the situation outside was also somewhat dire. Although the Guanghan Realm had improved with his help, it still faced difficulties dealing with other worlds. However, Zhao Shuang had no problem, because he had obtained many merit points from the Rakshasa princess, guaranteeing that the Guanghan Realm would become number one without any unexpected events—he was confident of this. Moreover, besides himself, his ninth brother could also help. His ninth brother's strength was considerable, completely capable of suppressing everyone else; no one else was a match for him.

Under these circumstances, it's highly possible for the Moon Realm to take first place. If they fail to do so, it can only mean one thing: the Moon Realm is incredibly unlucky. In that case, the Moon Goddess will have no choice but to choose another world.

The Moon Goddess has a rather special identity, so it's impossible for her to perish together with the Moon Realm.

Even the moon goddess wouldn't do that.

She would choose to lead many Great Sages and some elites from the Guanghan Realm to seek refuge in other worlds, with the Kunlun Realm being the first choice, because the Kunlun Realm would not be affected for tens of thousands of years, and besides, there wasn't that much time left.
