I only want to win over the fairy.

But it doesn't really matter if I become a demon in the stronghold of the extraterrestrial demons, since those I kill are all enemies anyway.

Moreover, by the time I manage to fight my way out, the Nine Provinces will probably have become a living hell, basically a paradise for extraterrestrial demons. At that time, it will be another instance where you can't survive without fighting.

As he suspected, the facts proved to be true.

Immersed in the carnage, you, now a demon incarnate, completely lost track of time. After countless sword swings, countless extraterrestrial demons shattered with your fists, and countless unpalatable bread rolls consumed, you finally carved a bloody path, leaving the extraterrestrial demons' stronghold and returning to the world you had lived in for so many years.

What appears before you is an endless wasteland, filled with countless bizarre plants and inhabited by creatures assimilated by extraterrestrial demons; there is no trace of normal life whatsoever.

According to the normal script, it seems that Bai Yi's simulated ending this time is to fight to the death, unable to protect anyone, and only able to watch the world perish alone and fall into despair.

But! The reason I've persisted in the cycle of reincarnation isn't just for the sake of looking good!

Why does Bai Yi insist on the path of reincarnation instead of developing other more versatile paths?

Is it because the power of reincarnation can be accumulated, allowing one to ignore the limitations of heaven and earth and directly obtain the combat power of an emperor?

No, Bai Yi believed that even if he replaced the Dao of Reincarnation with the Dao of Time, the Dao of Space, or the Dao of the Five Elements, he could still accomplish the same thing.

What has enabled him to persevere to this day, constantly pushing the limits of the Path of Reincarnation and continuously developing its skills, is all for that one move!

An absolute divine skill that can only be fully mastered through the path of reincarnation—[Six Paths: Reincarnation of Heaven!]

Chapter 173 The White Emperor's kindness can never be repaid in a lifetime

Bai Yi had actually been planning this moment for a long time.

To this day, he has encountered countless powerful enemies, all of whom have caused him considerable trouble, but these troubles are insignificant compared to the deaths of his loved ones.

Once, he transformed into the Heavenly Dao and used the Dao of Reincarnation to resurrect a person. Similarly, when his research on the Dao of Reincarnation reaches a certain supreme level, that will be the time when he truly controls the cycle of life and death!

In other words, all sorrow, all misfortune, and all despair will ultimately be reversed by his power!

Watch closely, this is the ultimate secret of the cycle of reincarnation.

It has no destructive power, no oppressive force to suppress an era, and no powerful enhancements. All it has is the simplest and most unadorned word: resurrection, which has stopped countless cultivators throughout history.

[You gaze upon the devastated land, your heart filled with immense sorrow. Already consumed by bloodlust, you transform once more into a killing god, a demon. Now, treading upon the heavens and earth, you need not worry about the lack of spiritual energy causing your extremely slow recovery.]

[Since there were no normal living beings left, only extraterrestrial demons, you recklessly drained the spiritual energy of the three provinces of the Nine Provinces in an instant, while simultaneously activating the Six Paths of Reincarnation and concentrating your power on the Hungry Ghost Path.]

Once you had absorbed enough extraterrestrial demons to power that attack, you clasped your hands together and activated the forbidden technique you would only use once in your life—Six Paths: Reincarnation of Heaven.

The Six Paths of Reincarnation.

This is the ultimate mystery of the cycle of reincarnation, a technique that uses the sacrifice of all one's own power and all living beings to pull the soul of the dead back from the cycle of reincarnation, thereby resurrecting the dead.

The number and level of the creatures to be resurrected will affect the energy consumption of Bai Yi when he uses this move.

The one he seeks to resurrect is not a single individual, but all living beings in Kyushu!

To resurrect almost all life on Earth single-handedly is undoubtedly a pipe dream, but resurrection is a miracle that turns the impossible into the possible, so it is only natural to create another miracle!

"I, the Lord of Reincarnation, command you! With my might, my flesh, and my soul as the wedge, you wandering souls in the cycle of reincarnation! Now answer my call! Rise again!!!"

In that instant, you instantly grasped the ultimate mystery of the Path of Reincarnation. Your aura and domineering will surged across the heavens and earth, and the power of reincarnation immediately increased dramatically, until it enveloped the entire world. At this moment, your power of reincarnation was a hundred times, or even ninety times, stronger than ever before!

[Those extraterrestrial demons, under the oppressive force of your near-invincible power of reincarnation, all turned to ashes and entered the cycle of reincarnation, constantly amplifying your power of reincarnation. It's as if you're asserting your sovereignty; anything that dares to stand in your way, whether it's reincarnation itself, the rules of heaven and earth, or even the Dao of Heaven, is violently bombarded by your power of reincarnation, which you've amplified to the point of encompassing the entire world, as if you want to insult anything that stands in your way, whether it's heaven and earth or the Great Dao!]

[The moment your power reaches its peak, it begins to rapidly decline, and in its place, one living being after another is resurrected: the dead, withered plants, rotting animals—everything begins to recover in your cycle of reincarnation.]

Every living being you resurrected received the power of reincarnation you bestowed upon them and independently comprehended the cultivation method of this power. This was the method you devised when fighting against the extraterrestrial demons. Individual beings cannot contend with extraterrestrial demons, who are both individuals and groups; therefore, it is sufficient to unite the living beings.

[You unreservedly imparted your own unique method of cultivation, the Path of Reincarnation, distinct from spiritual power, to all living beings, granting them the initial power of reincarnation as an entry point, using this power to connect them.]

The sacred power of reincarnation connects every living being.

As more and more beings are resurrected, and more and more beings master the power of reincarnation and formally enter the path of reincarnation, they begin to express their respect to you with excited frenzy—

"Quack! Great Lord of Reincarnation! We love you!!!"

Under your selfless love, almost all the beings you have captured have become your fanatical followers. Even if you command them to die, to give everything, or to submit to your will, they will do so willingly, even calling upon their sisters to join in pleasing you.

Countless beings who revered you found you in the shortest possible time. When they saw that your life force had waned and you were on the verge of death, they looked up to the sky and wept bitterly, wishing they could offer themselves as sacrifices to prolong your life.

"Lord of Reincarnation! Why! Why did it have to be you who died instead of me?!"

"Caw! My hands tremble today, my heart aches today... I was finally resurrected, finally able to see the person I love most, but now I have to watch them leave me... Why does God have to give me this pain? What did I do wrong?"

"Since it's already beyond repair, we can only continue your bloodline, Your Majesty. Great Lord of Reincarnation, please pour your power of reincarnation into our bodies, so that we may continue your most noble bloodline!"

Bai Yi originally thought that the tragic sacrifice was quite moving and would bring tears to one's eyes. After all, he had given so much, and all living beings in the world should shed a few tears for him. But seeing this scene, he was a little taken aback.

He originally thought that since he was going to die anyway, he might as well do more before he died, such as teaching the cultivation method of the power of reincarnation to every living being, and using the power of reincarnation to connect every living being, so that they could fight against the extraterrestrial demons as a group, and also improve his own score and get more rewards. But now he witnessed a group of living beings that he had resurrected going crazy.

Instead of properly seeing him off, these creatures turned into insane women and lunatics, frantically generating electricity at him, and some even tried to enlighten him. It's impossible for this to evoke any sense of tragedy.

Let me die quickly.

However, reality is often contrary to expectations; the more a person wants to die, the less likely they are to die.

At this very moment, countless beings who revere and love you gather around you. All those you value and cherish, whether alive or dead, will support you and help you... and these beings are not limited to familiar sects like the Xuan Tian Sect and the Yong Ye Sect...

And the Human Emperor's Palace, the ancient demon race... and all the beings who revere you, they will all be by your side, becoming your strength.

[Bai Yi, trust your own feelings, trust the existence of all those who love and value you.]

This world can no longer tolerate despair. All tragedies must end here. All the beings you have resurrected will return their life force and the power of reincarnation within them to you.

[Having successfully connected with the power of all living beings, your life force immediately surges, explodes, and intensifies—unstoppable, brimming with madness… Such an invincible existence, what in the world can stop it? Damn it, what in the world can stop it!]

[Lifespan +1]

[Lifespan +2]

[Lifespan +1.....]

Originally, Bai Yi's character panel showed that both his lifespan and health were about to reach zero, but now new lifespans are constantly being added to extend his lifespan, and this number is still increasing.

This was an unexpected delight.

These beings, who were resurrected and gained the power of reincarnation to cultivate, seemed to genuinely love and respect themselves from the bottom of their hearts, rather than merely paying lip service to it.

only....

Looking at the "Strength: 0" column in his attribute panel, Bai Yi suddenly felt less excited.

He sacrificed his power and life to resurrect all living beings in the world. Now his life is saved, but his power is gone. This basically means that he will spend the rest of his life in this simulation as an ordinary mortal.

[After one year and one month of reincarnation, at the urging of countless beings, the original Era of Imperial Demise has been officially renamed the Era of Reincarnation. All living beings in the world have unanimously elected you as their leader, to lead all living beings as the Lord of Reincarnation.]

Because of the rampant spread of the power of reincarnation, the power of the world increased rapidly. The extraterrestrial demons, who had been terrified by you, immediately chose to leave this world, and peace returned. As the source of the power of reincarnation within all living beings, you commanded immense respect and love from countless beings. After forcibly elevating you to the position of "Lord of Reincarnation," they all worshipped you. Even though you had lost your power, no being dared to show you the slightest disrespect.

[In the fifth month of the third year of the cycle, the court officials offered their advice.]

Today, the world is at peace, and outstanding talents have flocked to the land. All the immortal sects are flourishing, and all living beings in the world are blessed with the grace of reincarnation; this should be repaid.

[The Lord is in his prime; it is fitting for him to marry a woman of exceptional talent, to gather the spirits of the nine provinces, and to quell the evil demons beyond the borders...]

obviously.

Ever since these guys became Bai Yi's devoted fans, they've been constantly thinking about being teased by Bai Yi, or teasing Bai Yi.

"Isn't this a case of shooting yourself in the foot?" Xuan Yuanmeng teased. "It seems that being too popular is a curse."

Between life and death lies great terror and great opportunity. When living beings experience death, their mindset will change. In addition, Bai Yi pulls them all back to life from the cycle of reincarnation and gives them new power.

This kind of kindness can never be repaid in a lifetime.

So it's not surprising that such a large group of people who are Bai Yi's only supporters are acting crazy towards him all day long. The only question is whether Bai Yi can withstand their crazy behavior.

"It's alright." Zi, who was inside Xuanyuan Meng's body, suddenly spoke up: "Mom, I will protect Bai Yi and keep him away from bad women."

Bai Yi didn't care much about any of this. After all, he had done what he could, and it was time for him to retire to the mountains and enjoy the rest of his days.

Having lost your former strength, you decide to leave the world behind and live the rest of your days in a tranquil and leisurely paradise called "Peach Blossom Spring."

"Power is not what I need, nor is the Great Way; all I need is a peaceful life."

In the secluded paradise you found, you spent a thousand years of blissful time with Xiao Jinxuan, Qin Xin, Bai Ze, and other important people. As for the outside world, it was all irrelevant to you.

You lived a peaceful life.

[Simulation Ended]

[You endured countless hardships throughout your life, facing numerous trials from the Lord of the Forbidden Zone and extraterrestrial demons. Ultimately, you created a miracle amidst despair, saving the world and uniting countless different races. Yet, compared to your experiences, your ending was remarkably uneventful. Many cultivators of later generations believed that someone as powerful as you, capable of suppressing multiple eras and making any genius pale in comparison, should have died at the moment of saving the world. This would have made your story incredibly glorious. Some even believed that even without your cultivation, you should have still achieved something earth-shattering, perhaps even making a comeback and attaining immortality. But in the end, you craved an ordinary life, falling from an invincible immortal to the dust of the mortal realm, losing your inherent spirituality.]

[Score for this simulation: 87.]

Were later civil officials just as stupid?

Bai Yi looked at the evaluations of him by later generations and was speechless. Why would they expect him to die after saving the world? He saved the world, but they wouldn't let him enjoy the light and peace that followed.

What's the reasoning behind that?

Perhaps his ending is very ordinary, without any epic or grand feeling, but this is the ending he wanted, a peaceful and happy ending.

simple is the best.
