Reincarnation Girl Becomes Immortal

"It looks like toast... Is it made from crops grown in this space?"

“Indeed, Your Majesty,” the long-haired woman, who resembled an older sister, replied.

The younger sister glanced at the table and softly asked the Lord, "If Your Excellency is interested..."

“Yes.” Xi Heng reached out and took a square slice of bread from the plate, then took a small bite.

It has a soft and warm texture, as if it were just baked, and the inside is delicate with little of the woody texture of coarse grains.

"It's not very sweet, but it has a wonderful quality... It's even better than the bread I remember."

Although the spirit beings, who are still in the early stages of development, do not have modern automatic ovens and mixing and fermentation machines, there are still some with outstanding skills among them.

A spirit being who holds a chef's position outside comes to this world. Although there are not enough ingredients and seasonings, it is still able to create decent food by itself with its excellent skills.

Seeing that the Lord of the World nodded, the saintess sisters' expressions gradually softened.

"By the way," Xi Heng said in a low voice, taking a small bite of bread, "This time I'm not just here to stroll around like before. I have something I need you to convey to everyone."

"Please, Lord, speak," the elder sister of the Holy Maiden said solemnly.

“Your lifespan has already been extended, but the side effects are severe. It’s hard to retain your previous memories; it’s almost like being reincarnated as another person after death.” As he spoke, Xi Heng had already eaten half of the bread in his hand.

"Reincarnation after death..." The other party pondered for a moment and said, "It should not be a big problem. We can send our memories to other awakened individuals before we break through the lifespan limit, and retrieve them through mind communication after they awaken."

Xi Heng shook his head: "That's impossible too, because once you break through the lifespan, the deepest logic chain of the spirit creation will change, and you will no longer have the ability to communicate with other spirit creations. Each person's mind belongs only to themselves, independent and unable to be manipulated by outsiders."

"..." This sentence seemed to leave the awakened ones even more bewildered than the previous one, causing the two to stop what they were doing and fall silent.

After a while, once Xi Heng had finished eating the small bread slice in his hand, the second sister of the Holy Maiden said softly:

“We can store the memories beforehand, and then play them before our eyes after reincarnation…”

The eldest sister hesitated:

"It's possible, but it's all after reincarnation. Even if they see their past memories, they might not agree much. After all, the Lord of the World said that it might not be the same person anymore."

Xi Heng sat beside him listening, only picking up a small piece of bread from the plate, dipping it in the green sauce from another small bowl, and tasting it without arguing.

The same meaning was previously expressed by Da Ling.

Once spirit beings break through their lifespan, their inner core undergoes significant and irreversible changes.

"The dipping sauce is also quite delicious... it's like garlic salt, but even more fragrant."

She just stayed there to eat, leaving the awakened ones to do what they were thinking about.

“After losing the ability to communicate telepathically, it may not be long before many disagreements and chaos arise among our spiritual beings... It is not impossible for them to even harm and kill their own kind like real people,” the second sister of the Holy Maiden said worriedly.

"It's best to avoid any accidental deaths," Xi Heng added from the side.

"..." The eldest sister was silent for a moment, then said while thinking, "We also do not want to fall into nothingness. All spiritual beings hope to have a long lifespan, and they will pursue it even if there are such great side effects."

Once the lifespan limit is broken, one will no longer be able to control things independently or communicate with others. Disagreements will arise among people, and these disagreements will eventually turn into evil. Even everything we have built up now will become unstable.

After that, a central authority was needed to maintain stability. In ancient times, the emperor was the central authority, then it was replaced by a head of state, and later it became the supreme heaven we know today…

Xi Heng listened slowly, then asked, "Do you want to become the central authority?"

Among the saintesses, the second sister shook her head, while the eldest sister said:

“The Central Authority must be recognized by all spirit beings, and even future Divergents must respect it. Neither of us is qualified yet… I think that a spirit being that has not yet broken through the lifespan limit can copy people’s memories and mental data and store them in itself before they break through the lifespan limit, and let it serve as the Central Authority.”

The second sister, with short hair, seemed to suddenly understand something and shook her head, saying:

“A machine can be used instead. As long as everyone’s memories are stored, the Great Spirit Mother can use them to create a special consciousness.”

“The awakened will no longer be ruled by machines.” The eldest sister countered, “The central government must also consist of awakened individuals.”

Xi Heng ate a small piece of bread, looking left and right, thinking: Can he really think of so much in such a short time...?

Their calculation abilities are indeed quite strong.

"Then... how should this person in the Central Committee be decided?" the second sister asked.

“Let someone who is willing to do this do it. As for the first one in the central government, since I proposed it, let me do it.”

"Sister, are you willing?"

The other party nodded.

"If you absorb the memories of hundreds, and possibly thousands or tens of thousands of people in the future, will you still be you?"

The other person shook their head again: "At most, it's just a few years earlier, and you become a different person."

"..." The second sister was silent for a while: "Then, if the people in the Central Region also run out of lifespan and need to use reincarnation to remove the restriction, how should the inheritance be carried on?"

"Let it be handed over to the next awakened one who is willing to become the central authority, whoever it may be."

“I don’t want to be separated from you, sister,” the second sister said.

"We only have three years left to live, and accomplishing this will only mean parting a few years sooner... Perhaps we can continue our relationship after reincarnation."

The short-haired girl didn't say anything more after hearing this.

She gently reached out her hand to her elder sister across the table and closed her eyes.

The elder sister touched it, and a faint light shone from her fingertips, connecting the spiritual light between the two.

Xi Heng, who was standing nearby, saw the flowing spiritual light and realized that this was the method of spiritual communication between spirit beings.

If this method can be preserved after one's lifespan is over, perhaps a paradise can truly be built in this world, a world of eternal peace.

Two or three seconds later, a few tears welled up in the eyes of the saintess sister, and she slowly loosened her clasped hands.

This was the first time Xi Heng had ever seen a spirit creation use the tear-shedding function.

Then, the two sisters looked at her and said the same thing at the same time:

"Your Majesty, we will gather everyone today when the trees are dark to announce this matter."

The white-haired girl snapped out of her daze and said, "Let's select ten people to break through first. It doesn't matter if we don't have enough."

"Yes."

"Speaking of which, I haven't asked your names yet." She began by saying, "My name is Xi Heng, as you should know."

“My masterpiece is called ‘Like the Dawn’,” the elder sister said.

"My daughter is Ruohe," the younger sister said.

"It seems quite common," Xi Heng commented casually, then simply said, "I'll give you a few days to explain it slowly, and I'll come back in a while."

The two saintesses stood up and bowed respectfully.

The white-haired girl casually picked up another piece of bread from the plate, and then a flash of fire appeared before she vanished.

Back in the courtyard bedroom, he brought the bread to his lips and easily opened the web browser.

Humming a leisurely tune, I casually glanced at the latest news.

As he swiped his finger, he suddenly saw news about spirit creations on the list.

Upon opening and viewing, one finds a trailer for a new type of spirit creation released by Far Expansion Company.

This trailer is no longer a holographic trailer like the previous ones, but only a two-dimensional video, and it reveals very little information, leaving people unclear about the specific situation.

Xi Heng recalled that the body that Da Ling had specially made for her was the latest generation of spirit creation, and there was no difference in terms of senses compared to the previous generation, so the next generation of products from Yuan Su Company should not have much improvement.

So I turned it off without thinking much about it.

When he had free time, he went to cultivate.

As night fell, he flashed back into the Spirit Fire Space, using his spiritual sense to search for the gathering point of the spirit beings that night, and found that people had already gathered inside the temple.

"It seems that the two saintly sisters have already begun their sermons." Xi Heng looked over there, his gaze penetrating through the buildings, and sat on the tree branch of the sacred tree, swinging his legs naturally as he watched and listened from afar.

In a daze, a strange feeling drifted over.

The aura it exuded was neither spiritual energy nor the golden breath of the divine tree...

Xi Heng thus came to his senses and glanced to his side.

A broken ghost was seen circling the dimly lit sacred tree in the night, swaying and almost disappearing.

"A vengeful spirit?" She tilted her head, reaching out to send a spark of flame to collect the ghost.

The fragile phantom shattered and vanished the moment the crimson flames touched it.

However, she also sensed a trace of resentment and used her spiritual sense to find the source of this thing.

The light traveled quickly to the cemetery behind the temple, where a newly buried wooden coffin lay underground.

The corpse inside was not yet decayed, but wisps of black mist were already swirling around it.

"Is resentment already starting to grow here?" Xi Heng muttered to himself.

"Why does this resentment feel so familiar? It's like I've encountered it before in Changpingjing..."

After thinking for a long time, she suddenly recalled the underground production line of the Far Expansion Company where she had gone when she stole the semi-finished spirit body—there was a kind of energy there, similar to the resentment in front of her.

"It seems like there's nothing wrong?" she thought.

As one of the production sites for spirit creations, that place also has a large number of spirit creation jobs, so it's normal for it to generate some similar resentment.

But a few seconds later, Xi Heng recalled some of his previous guesses and felt that there was some secret in this matter.

……

Volume 1: Chapter 313, Lunar Halo and Lush Foundation

A pale gray aura of resentment floated in his palm, drifting aimlessly, as if it would shatter at any moment.

A glint of deep red resentment appeared, enveloping it in a rhomboid red crystal, which Xi Heng held in his fingertips.

The resentment intensified her sense of energy, and as she observed, she felt increasingly familiar with it.

No longer listening to the preaching of the two spirit-created saintesses in the distant temple, Xi Heng only looked at the resentment in his hand.

“After a spirit body dies, it will release spiritual energy and generate this kind of resentment…” she muttered to herself. “Except for not having a real soul, they are not much different from real people.”

The material of the physical body is irrelevant. Xi Heng can create his own spirit body as long as he wants. He only needs to let his nascent soul enter into it to become a spirit body and a true person recognized by heaven and earth.

"The inner self is so similar to a person that they are almost synonymous." She silently affirmed:

"Could the true spirit within the spirit-created body have been made from a human spirit?"

If this is true, then Changpingjing, which is rumored to be peaceful and free from exploitation and inhumanity, is essentially no different from the former Xiping City.

They may have gone even further—they deprived the vast majority of people of their free will, transforming them into obedient spirit beings who would serve the monks life after life.

“Although it doesn’t really matter to me, but…” Xi Heng looked at the materialized resentment in his hand and silently wondered, “Could it be like this?”

Since she attained enlightenment through cultivation, becoming a Golden Core cultivator and then a Nascent Soul cultivator, the part of her heart that was concerned with mortals has inevitably begun to weaken, suppressed by the part about superiors, cultivators, and enlightened beings.

The many worldly emotions in his heart had gradually faded due to his ability to read save files, and after advancing to the Nascent Soul stage, they became as thin as dust.

Today, the thought that mortals have been enslaved evokes no anger.

He could only think that the worlds and cities he had arrived in were all more bizarre and extreme than the last.

I thought Changpingjing would be as peaceful and tranquil as its name suggests, but in reality, it might be even more distorted than Xipingcheng before it.

"Does this mean that after the collapse of the heavens, cultivators have no choice but to exploit mortals in order to cultivate?" She raised her head slightly, looking at the boundless gray sky in the space.

"If that were true, all cultivators in the world would still appear glamorous, but in reality they would all be demonic and evil cultivators."

With a slow movement of the fingertips, the resentment crystals rotated, their crystalline facets reflecting the faint light of the golden tree behind them.

"Hmm... but it might not be as I think. I have some free time, so I'll do some investigation."

With her spatial abilities, she could enter and leave almost any location in Changpingjing at will.

It won't be too difficult to find out the truth about this.

"Just go to the production line and observe with your Nascent Soul for a moment, and you should be able to get the answer."

As soon as the soft voice fell, the figure sitting on the golden tree's finger suddenly appeared and disappeared.

The view shifts, and in an instant, you're back in your own bedroom.

Xi Heng casually drew a few talismans to conceal his presence, and then his figure disappeared into the hidden space, leaving only a tiny spark floating by, flying towards the assembly factory he had visited when he stole the semi-finished spirit body.

The target location is outside the city, tens of thousands of meters away from the center where she lives.

However, the flames flew like bullets, traveling at speeds of over a thousand meters per second, and arrived at their destination in just one minute.

At lightning speed, Mars made several right-angle turns, passed through several sealed doors with defensive arrays inside the factory facilities, and easily arrived at the innermost part of the spirit creation production line.
