Perfect Double Agent

The moonlit night was filled with a cool and eerie atmosphere. A man and his vehicle sat on a patch of black earth, gazing at the misty area ahead, remaining motionless for a long time.

I slept until nearly an era had passed, and when I awoke, millions of years had gone by. The mountains and rivers were unfamiliar, the creatures were unfamiliar, and the environment was unfamiliar. Everything seemed like a dream.

"Yesterday's battlefield, today's birth; body and soul exhausted, wandering aimlessly; surveying the mountains and rivers, no home is found; in this vast and desolate world, who am I..."

King of Reincarnation: "..."

He seriously doubted whether this broken plate was even his own. How could it have become comparable to that dog's after an entire era?

Thinking of Gouzi, his expression turned serious. Gouzi was still alive, in an ancient land ahead. As for familiar people, apart from the Immortal Realm and enemies from other realms, there was almost no one left.

"The willow tree is still alive, won't you go see her first?" The Wheel of Reincarnation floated shakily, fulfilling its duty as an artifact, diligently guarding its master, never leaving his side.

"Let's go check on Gouzi first." The King of Reincarnation shook his head. Although he had been resurrected, his injuries were still severe. He wanted to know what had happened, but this guy refused to say anything and instead kept talking mysteriously.

Meanwhile, deep in the mist ahead, a large dog wearing baggy shorts was digging in the soil, seemingly searching for something. It wasn't black, but rather a dark red, which looked rather eerie in the night mist.

"Don't try to trick me. Are you sure there's the treasure of the King of Reincarnation down there?" A voice came from the adjacent tomb-raiding tunnel, and then a fat man's head appeared out of it.

"Don't you think about it? Your master chose this place, and I was buried here too. Even that pervert used to come and go from here with his senior sister. Phoenixes never land on barren lands. You should have confidence!"

Cao Yusheng: "..."

That seems to make sense. His master's judgment has always been very accurate, not to mention that other person. Now, wherever that other person has been, people have dug up the ground three feet deep, leaving not a single hair behind.

Moreover, this place is called the Land of Reincarnation. In the past, both King Wuzhong and King Lunhui built their cave dwellings here, and there might even be tombs here.

"But what if we actually unearth a tomb? That's the King of Reincarnation, he's inherently shrouded in mystery, I have a bad feeling about this..."

"Don't be afraid, dig as much as you want. Even if the King of Reincarnation were to be resurrected, he would still have to call me brother. What are you afraid of!"

Cao Yusheng rolled his eyes upon hearing this. If it were before, it would have been more believable for this damned dog to say such things, but now everyone knows that this despicable bastard is just a dog that will never be raised. And he calls himself the brother of reincarnation? Isn't he afraid that the King of Reincarnation will climb out of his coffin in a fit of anger and give us a surprise?

With a chuckle, Cao Yusheng wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve. Just as he picked up his tools and prepared to get back to work, the distant fog suddenly churned. In the hazy mist, a tall figure could be seen moving about, causing the fog to part.

At the same time, he also saw the figure clearly.

It was a man covered in wounds, his face pale, his eyes deep, radiating vicissitudes and weariness. But his body was extremely majestic, like a celestial mountain connecting heaven and earth, unscalable and eternally standing. With just one step, he stood tall in front of him.

A massive shadow spread out, and the king's corpse's malevolent aura and the dense, numerous Dao marks accumulated from the wounds of the great battle surged like an endless tide around that physical body. Just a glance was enough to make Cao Yusheng's mind go blank, and his whole body couldn't help but tremble.

Celestial King!

He had seen Celestial Kings before; his brothers had killed quite a few over the years, and he had even eaten the legs of Beast Kings. But what truly made his pupils shrink was that the ancient hexagonal plate floating beside this king looked exactly like the Six Paths of Reincarnation!

The ancient land was silent. One person stood on high ground, his gaze deep and devoid of any emotion. Another person stood at the cave entrance, head tilted back, sweat constantly beading on his forehead, and he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

What you think about during the day, you dream about at night. Having been a tomb raider for years, he was bound to get his shoes wet. He felt like he'd stumbled upon something big…

So, a chubby index finger trembled as it reached out to the left, while Cao Yusheng cautiously stared at the imposing man in front of him.

Perhaps it was a breath, perhaps it was half a day, but time had never felt so long. Finally, the index finger touched a soft spot and gently poked it. The body, with its tail held high, its hind legs outside, and its forelimbs and body digging into the hole, trembled. It reacted extremely sensitively, as if it had been electrocuted.

"Woof! You want to die!"

The dog didn't look up; most of its body was inside the hole, so it didn't see anything behind it.

"Um... I think we don't need to put any funerary items for Senior Samsara, he probably won't like it..."

"Are you out of your mind? You're still putting away burial goods? We're here to dig up burial goods, okay?"

Cao Yusheng: "..."

How can I put this?

Cao Yusheng broke out in a cold sweat, especially as the gaze of that creature slowly moved, its oppressive force making his heart stop. Damn it, couldn't you turn around and look? This is really a big one!

I've never encountered anything this big in my entire life.

Suddenly, the figure raised its foot and, without a sound, kicked the dog's exposed buttocks before Cao Yusheng could help but close his eyes.

"Wang..."

The big red dog was fierce and aggressed. Caught off guard, it was kicked in the butt and ended up eating a mouthful of dirt. After crawling out, it was instantly enraged and opened its mouth to bite Cao Yusheng. Its canine teeth were sharp and its expression was ferocious, covered in fresh dust.

Who in the world does not know its fearsome reputation? Wuzhong is its elder brother, Lunhui is its younger brother, and Zhenxian is its pet and mount. It even bit the ferocious Crimson King, leaving him with a bloody head.

But it was all for naught; it then saw the figures standing in front of the two tomb raiders' holes.

Out of the corner of my eye, I looked up and saw the familiar imposing figure, the familiar aura, the familiar resolute face—it all seemed like yesterday.

"Strange... I seem to see the great Reincarnation Immortal King..."

The big red dog looked dejected and subtly buried its head back down, kicking the dirt with its hind legs as if burying itself.

But this action lasted only a moment, then it stiffened and resurfaced. "It must be an illusion, impossible! My brother has already passed away. What kind of ghost are you, daring to impersonate my brother and try to shake my mind..."

"Dog, you've changed." The King of Reincarnation sighed softly.

The words came out casually, but they made the big red dog suddenly shudder. The familiarity it felt in its soul made it bristle instantly.

"Ghost!"

The big red dog wanted to die, but more than that, it couldn't believe that someone would dig up its grave in front of the King of Reincarnation.

This is like an old man eating poison; he's tired of living!

In a single instant, it came up with thousands of ways to die.

"boom!"

A large foot stomped down, pressing down on the dog's body and shoving it back into the hole. The big red dog let out a terrified scream, and Cao Yusheng's eyes twitched uncontrollably. He couldn't bear to look; it was too gruesome. The dog's fur was scattered all over the ground, and its seemingly indestructible body was completely deformed.

"Impossible...aren't you dead?!"

"I did die, but I came back alive."

"How is this possible? You and my master are inseparable. Why have you returned but my master has not?" the big red dog shouted. It thought of many things in a moment. The King of Reincarnation had spent his whole life studying reincarnation and had extremely high attainments. He had done many strange things in the past. Moreover, it was not uncommon for Immortal Kings to die and be resurrected. It was not strange that the other party could be resurrected.

The Great Dao of Time, though boundless and immeasurable, has completely vanished into the world, failing to revive even in the ancient and modern realms. This leaves it deeply resentful.

"I don't know. Perhaps his path doesn't exist in this world." The King of Reincarnation was also pondering. His resurrection wasn't caused by himself; it might have been orchestrated.

Of course, he didn't stop, each step harder than the last, making the big red dog bone crunch loudly.

This dog can't stand not courting death every day. What was he thinking, digging up his grave?!

"Don't step on it...don't step on it...Brother Wang...Lord Samsara...I was wrong!" The big red dog immediately cowered. "Wait...I know a huge secret that involves crickets!"

"Hmm?" The King of Reincarnation stopped what he was doing, and his usually expressionless eyes finally showed a change.

"Do you want to die? How dare you mention your real name!" Cao Yusheng, who was standing to the side, was startled. That was not the King of Crickets, but the Emperor of Crickets. He could project his image across all the heavens and myriad worlds, and could overlook the long river of time. Even the silent chanting of sentient beings could be sensed by him.

Most importantly, that was an entire army group; even emperors could be organized into groups.

"What's wrong with the cricket?" King Samsara looked up, and even in the distant sky, someone was turning their gaze.

"Nothing..." The big red dog chuckled awkwardly, glancing furtively. You're asking me? I'd like to ask you the same thing.

But as soon as the King of Reincarnation raised his foot, before he could even step on it, it immediately let out a miserable scream, "Even if you crush me to death, I still can't tell you. The implications are too terrifying; you'd never guess even if you racked your brains!"

"Dog, you're such a stubborn one. I admire your courage." Cao Yusheng silently mourned for Dog.

As expected, the King of Reincarnation picked up the dog by its tail and carried it away upside down.

"You really can't say this! This is the mess you made! You're the root of all evil!" Gouzi yelled, his voice echoing as he spoke of things Cao Yusheng couldn't comprehend.

After this battle, he felt he would need to rest for hundreds of thousands of years. This era was too terrifying; if he were to unearth something else, things would be disastrous.

On the other side, the dog trembled, shaking its head desperately like a little wife about to be bullied.

"What's wrong with the cricket? Don't make me search its soul myself." The King of Reincarnation surveyed the mountains and rivers, traveling through the skies above one vast land after another.

"In this era, Gu joined the alien realm, using the Nine Heavens as its battlefield. He fought alongside the kings to defeat the kings of the Immortal Realm, establishing his position as the overlord of the three realms of the alien realm. He has more royal blood on his hands than you do."

"The Immortal Realm has been defeated..." King Samsara couldn't help but feel dazed. He wasn't surprised that Gu could become king, and joining the alien realm was something he had planned long ago. But what he didn't expect was that the Immortal Realm would be defeated.

"The Butcher and his men aren't here? The burial grounds have been conquered too?"

"At that time, the strength of the Immortal Realm was greater than at any time in history, as was that of the Burial Ground. Apart from the chicken farmer, there was also a Burial Master who was close to becoming an emperor. However, neither of them were a match for the foreign realm. The kings of the Immortal Realm were all killed, and even the butcher almost died. The Burial Ground defended its own territory, and even when attacked at its doorstep, it dared not fight back."

Speaking of those past events, Gouzi still looked amazed. Back then, the alien realm was truly the uncrowned king, incredibly powerful, making the three realms tremble. When the Emperor's Eye appeared, all the kings fled; when the butcher's knife was raised, every king would curse.

"Then, the alien realm turned its attention to the myriad realms, waging war against them with the fate of an entire world. Legend has it that the corpses of the kings of the heavens piled up like mountains, and their blood flowed throughout the realms. Wherever the dark army passed, there was no light of day. Now, the entire heavens have submitted to the rule of the alien realm."

"What does this have to do with Gu?" King of Reincarnation was puzzled. Even if Gu was given important responsibilities, he couldn't control the will of the alien realm. At most, he could only contribute a little. If it were him, he wouldn't allow a traitor to join the core, no matter how talented he was.

"How can it not be related? To a certain extent, the Gu is the supreme ruler of the foreign land. The foreign land now belongs to the Gu!" Gouzi said with a serious and earnest expression.

But those words were a complete psychological bomb, making the King of Reincarnation's head buzz and almost causing him to fall headfirst from the sky. He controlled the alien realm.

Is this even possible? The otherworldly realm is said to be so powerful, so how did they manage to do it?

What does this have to do with making him lie down?

"Wu...Shang has become...Pu...Mo has become an emperor, and Gu has also become an emperor." The dog separated the names, not daring to say them together, but with each word it uttered, the body of the Reincarnation King swayed. Emperors! There is more than one emperor in the otherworld. This is completely unimaginable. How did they manage to do it? Why has the otherworld made such great progress in the past era? Or has the otherworld found the key and obtained the method to become an emperor?

"All of this is because Gu has a grandson. You should have met him. It was that person who led the rise of the entire alien realm, and it was that person who led others to become emperors. The alien realm can do without Wushang and Pumo, but it cannot do without that person."

"Having just been resurrected, some memories have been lost. They were pulled back from the Immortal Ancient Era. Are you talking about that Bai?"

"Don't say your real name!" Gouzi, feeling guilty, quickly stopped him, while cautiously looking around. The Emperor of Time and Space, the most terrifying person in history, who knows what heaven-defying methods he has.

“It was him. Don’t tell me this wasn’t arranged by you. That person was known as the Little Immortal King when he was young. He mastered the Reincarnation Divine Power and the Endless Time Technique. He is recognized as the most orthodox successor of the Nine Heavens.”

The King of Reincarnation remained silent, lost in thought. It was indeed he and Wuzhong who had arranged this. He had also met Bai Ye before. How many years had it been? How far could they defy the heavens?

"When one person is born, all the worlds turn black. No one dares to imagine how fast that person rose to power. He became a supreme being before he was thirty years old. With his supreme body, he slaughtered immortals and broke the taboos of the past and present. He suppressed the heroes of the three realms so much that they could not raise their heads. Then he went to the place that connects the past and present. In just a few dozen days, his combat power soared to the sky. He was not a king, but he beat the immortal kings without any power to fight back."

In the days that followed, his physical body, primordial spirit, and the Great Dao became one, allowing him to leap to the status of a Celestial King. Throughout the vast world, no king could rival him. Over two hundred thousand years ago, under his leadership, the alien realm conquered all the heavens, with kings flocking to him, all revering him as the Heavenly Emperor. All realms submitted, and countless races worshipped him. At that time, he was not yet five hundred thousand years old.

The King of Reincarnation looked completely bewildered, feeling dizzy from listening. He seriously suspected that Gouzi was asking for trouble, as his words were becoming increasingly outrageous. "He's the Heavenly Emperor? Keep making things up!"

"This is just the beginning. On the day he became the Heavenly Emperor, a true Quasi-Immortal Emperor appeared on the other side of the Boundary Sea. He sent a large army to suppress him. Since ancient times, the Heavenly Court has been unable to stand because of the Quasi-Immortal Emperor on the other side of the Boundary Sea. No one knows exactly what happened in that battle, but that person became an emperor in one battle. When he returned, he carried a spear on his shoulder and held the emperor's head in his hand. Everyone in the myriad realms saw that scene. If you don't believe me, ask Panzi. It has always been in the foreign realm and knows more about it than I do."

The King of Six Paths of Reincarnation was skeptical, looking at the Reincarnation Disc. It was like listening to a divine book. The dog often acted foolishly, not because he didn't believe it, but because the dog had too many past offenses.

"What it said is true. Something happened on the other side of the Boundary Sea. Not long after, that person returned to the Boundary Sea and led several emperors to attack the greatest black hand in history, the Cycle of Reincarnation. In that battle, there were dozens of Quasi-Immortal Emperors, one after another. But the Otherworld won. Wu Shang became an emperor in that battle, Pu Mo was reborn and became an emperor 20,000 years ago, and Gu followed closely behind. Now the Otherworld is the most powerful force in the world. The one who controls the Otherworld is Gu's grandson, who is also the White Emperor. Pu Mo is his teacher, the kings are his subordinates, and Gu is your man."

At this point, both the Wheel of Reincarnation and the dog were peeking. This is He's foresight, a feat that benefits the present and future generations. He truly deserves to be called our King, a great man!

He single-handedly orchestrated the creation of the most terrifying force in the history of the heavens, and even forged the strongest quasi-immortal emperor in history.

King of Reincarnation: "..."

No, I didn't do anything. Arranging for Gu to be an undercover agent and endure humiliation was simply because they were destined to lose and wanted to preserve a few seeds. They didn't expect Gu to be able to do anything. How did he become the supreme ruler of the foreign land?

I sent you to be an undercover agent, not to take over their entire territory. Not to mention, you even led the entire alien realm to great heights. No matter what, that's still darkness. How are future generations supposed to quell it? Or are we supposed to quell it ourselves?
