Villain: After I died, all the heroines cried themselves to sleep.

The collection of the Twelve Divine Fiends was mostly based on searching through ancient texts to find their remaining lineage.

Special cases, such as Zhu Jiuyin, require going against the flow of time back to the ancient past.

But the most special one is Houtu.

Because Houtu did not die, but her body was transformed into the cycle of reincarnation.

Unfortunately, in this ancient and desolate world, there is no true cycle of reincarnation.

Luo Tian never found the place of reincarnation before he died.

He can obtain the divine powers of Houtu.

Actually, it was Houtu who took the initiative to come to them.

Just like now, it was just a chance moment of enlightenment that led me to fall into the cycle of reincarnation.

Luo Tian stared blankly at the enormous, boundless halo of light before him.

Cause and effect intertwine, and the six realms of divine light shine.

It transformed into rings of mysterious and hazy divine light.

Between the six wheels, a solemn and compassionate figure slowly emerged.

She wore a gilded robe with dark patterns, surrounded by countless golden rays of merit, and emanated an endless aura of profound mystery.

Her hair was styled in a high bun and adorned with a jade crown, her face was gentle and holy, and her calm eyes revealed compassion and inclusiveness that embraced all things and guided all beings.

Although the majesty of the Great Emperor was not displayed.

Yet it still inspires awe and gratitude in all living beings.

"Goddess Houtu..."

Luo Tian was terrified and immediately stood up to solemnly bow to Houtu.

"Junior Luo Tian greets Senior."

This is a truly living emperor.

Furthermore, he intervened multiple times to help Luo Tian defeat powerful enemies.

"No need for formalities."

Houtu's voice was gentle, and her words were lawful.

As soon as he finished speaking, the power of the laws of the entire cycle of reincarnation gently lifted Luo Tian up.

"My child, I've been watching you."

"...Thank you for your help, senior."

Luo Tian is truly grateful.

Houtu provided him with considerable assistance.

This time, it's estimated that seeing Luo Tian in danger, they pulled him into the cycle of reincarnation.

"You are an anomaly here, beyond the Three Realms and outside the Five Elements, so I will naturally take care of you."

Houtu smiled faintly.

He then glanced briefly at Luo Tian.

"But you naughty child, you're being far too reckless; this is the third time."

"..."

Luo Tian awkwardly twitched the corner of his mouth.

That cannot be refuted.

First, they asked Houtu to fight against the Ziwei Emperor.

Then they summoned others to descend and severely injure the Twisted Apostle.

In addition, now...

wrong.

Luo Tian's eyes widened.

The Twisted Apostles didn't happen in the Ancient World.

He glanced furtively at Houtu, feeling guilty.

Houtu remained calm and composed, smiling without saying a word.

Luo Tian was ashamed.

Mom!

My true identity may have already been discovered by others.

I never imagined that the Empress Houtu's cultivation was so profound that she could even cross the barriers between multiple worlds.

He truly deserves to be called the oldest senior.

Boom!

A muffled thud.

Luo Tian clutched his head, gasping in pain.

How could it hurt so much? It's like it hits the very core of my soul.

"naughty."

Houtu shook her head, as if nothing had happened.

"Given your current progress in cultivation, there are some things I can tell you now."

"Senior, are you referring to the strange occurrences happening in the Heavenly Realm?"

Luo Tian scratched his head and smiled wryly.

Before Houtu.

I'd better just be a good kid.

"Do you know why the liches and demons fought in the past, why Nuwa mended the sky, and why heaven and earth were severed?"

Houtu's calm voice echoed throughout the cycle of reincarnation.

Luo Tian had certainly read the relevant classics.

But what Houtu wanted to tell was clearly not the history that has been passed down to this day.

Then look at how Hou Tu lightly raised her hand.

The six-wheeled wheel behind him suddenly shone with divine light.

Wait until the blinding light dissipates.

Open your eyes again.

Luo Tian then discovered that he and Hou Tu had arrived at the end of history.

"This world is nothing but a prison. Cause and effect and destiny are predetermined. Even if one ascends to the highest level of the Dao, one is nothing more than a puppet of the Dao."

Houtu unleashed her supreme power, carrying Luotian into the long river of history.

The Candle Dragon, which had been entrenched in the upper reaches of the long river, slowly opened its eyes.

I saw Luo Tian standing next to Hou Tu.

Then it slowly closed again.

The scroll of history slowly unfolds.

Luo Tian finally came into contact with the truth of this world.

He witnessed the most prosperous ancient era, when the witch and demon races successively transcended tribulations and became emperors, ruling over this world.

Shortly afterward, the Heavenly Court suddenly went mad and engaged in a bloody battle with the Witch Clan.

The scene changes.

The ancient celestial court above the heavens.

All the immortals seemed to have suddenly heard terrible news, and became extremely desperate and insane.

Strange substances seeped out from the void. Di Jun activated the Hunyuan Heluo Formation to seal off the Heavenly Court, and Donghuang Taiyi used the Chaos Bell to suppress the Heavenly Realm.

After that, the pillar of heaven collapsed, the earth's axis broke, and even the heavens and earth cracked, with strange substances flowing into the human world.

The Holy Goddess Nuwa used five-colored stones to mend the sky and prevent the strange substance from flowing out.

The Primordial Celestial Venerable built the Tower of Heaven to support the heavens and earth.

The Supreme Lord of Morality used a supreme treasure to stabilize the human realm.

The extreme Lingbao Tianzun, carrying the Zhuxian Sword Formation, disappeared without a trace.

Finally, the supreme emperors, including Zhu Jiuyin, banished the Tower of Babel to a separate world, severing the connection between heaven and earth.

With this as the boundary, the ancient spiritual energy of heaven and earth gradually waned.

In the ancient era...

One after another, great emperors ascended to the pinnacle of the ultimate path.

Without exception, when they reached the peak of their cultivation, they would all suddenly change their temperament as if they had discovered something.

"What did they see?"

Luo Tian was puzzled.

"I saw the hopelessness of transcendence, I saw the cycle of cause and effect."

Houtu answered softly.

It is not usually possible to trace the history of the emperor in this way.

Only Houtu could use the power of the Six Paths of Reincarnation to glimpse the past emperors.

"Many seek to defy the heavens and transcend on the path of cultivation, but when they reach the end of the Emperor's Road, they will find that everything they have done is in vain, and the so-called transcendence is nothing but a deception."

"So the only option is to submit to fate?"

"This is their choice, not the only one."

Houtu said.

The implication is that she has other ideas.

Luo Tian also understood why Houtu took such good care of him.

"Some, like the Great Emperor Gouchen, sought to transcend the cycle of cause and effect, but ultimately died and his Dao dissipated; others, like the Great Emperor Ziwei, saw that they could not escape the constraints of the Heavenly Dao, and ultimately chose to submit to fate."

"And what about you, senior?"

"...Do you believe in reincarnation?"

"..."

How are we supposed to answer that?

Luo Tian was speechless.

If you say you don't believe in reincarnation, the problem is that Houtu is reincarnation itself.

Houtu didn't seem to expect Luo Tian to provide an answer.

She waved her hand casually.

The scene before me shifted and changed.

The two returned to the cycle of reincarnation.

"There is no reincarnation in this world, and I cannot transcend it either. I can only evolve reincarnation to maintain the operation of the ancient world."

The halo behind Houtu shone brightly.

Its timeless Daoist voice resonates eternally.

It exudes a transcendent power that surpasses all heavens and the universe.

"This is the world I created, and it is also the manifestation of my attainment of the Emperor's Dao. Now I will pass on my insights to you."

Houtu gently extended her index finger and lightly tapped Luo Tian's forehead.

In an instant.

The crimson-gold runes of the Goddess Houtu appeared between Luo Tian's brows.

Houtu's lifelong insights, like a vast and endless river, continuously flowed into Luo Tian's sea of ​​consciousness.

At this moment, Luo Tian felt Houtu's compassion and regret for all living beings.

He felt the high hopes that Houtu placed on him.

"Why me?"

"Only those who come from beyond heaven and earth can transcend cause and effect and destiny."

Houtu gently stroked Luotian's chest.

"I believe in you, and therefore I am willing to give my all and entrust my entire life to you."

"Child, your future is in your hands."

"What is this?"

Luo Tian looked at the golden light emanating from his chest.

It seemed as if something was etched into his body.

Houtu uttered two words.

"Reincarnation".

Before Luo Tian could react.

The divine light of the Six Paths instantly filled the field of vision.

Like warm sunlight, it gently enveloped and lifted him up.

In the final moments of consciousness.

Luo Tian heard Hou Tu's soft farewell.

"Reach the pinnacle of the ultimate path, child. Only then can you see the true nature of the world."

"Remember, that is the origin of the great Dao of Heaven and Earth."

"The original, primordial state".

……

As the dazzling divine light gradually faded.

When I came to my senses...

Luo Tian has returned to the human world.

"But why here?"
