Chapter 113: Reincarnation Strategy, Hidden Virtue Rewards

Such a ruthless person, if we cannot guarantee to kill him outright, crush his bones and scatter his ashes, Yuzhen does not want to have any conflict with him.

Otherwise, if Fengxi notes him in his little notebook, constantly thinking about him day and night, with the spirit of a gentleman avenging grudges, not late even after a hundred million years, he would constantly observe him with a magnifying glass……

Hehe.

Such a result is too wonderful.

Yuzhen also does not want to experience it personally.

At the same time, a subtle and strange emotion rose in his heart, and he shed a tear of sympathy for some people.

— for example, Zhurong Ancestor Witch; another example, Houtu Ancestor Witch!

"The Yandi, one of the Five Direction Heavenly Emperors of the human race, even a discarded trumpet of such a mighty being is so cunning and treacherous… let alone his true self!"

"What kind of bearing would that have?"

"Just thinking about it makes one's scalp go numb… Zhurong seems to be in big trouble."

"Moreover, even the Yandi with such ability was defeated by the Yellow Emperor… tsk!"

"I always feel Houtu is going to be completely finished, huh?"

"No place to turn over!"

Yuzhen secretly shook his head, full of expectations for the future development of the Wu Clan faction, yet also a bit more pessimistic.

With the Five Direction Heavenly Emperors joining, the odds greatly increase…… but none of these allies are easy to deal with!

When the time comes to sideline the Ancestor Witch and take the top position…… tsk tsk tsk, that scene would be too wonderful.

Fengxi, sipping tea, does not yet realize that the people around him have already labeled him in their hearts as old and crafty, evil and dark-hearted; otherwise, he would surely denounce one or two of them.

"If it weren't for the task assigned by Houtu, would I really go to such lengths to devise these schemes?"

"I am merely a sharp weapon…… whether to kill or save depends entirely on the wielder!"

"On what basis do you say I'm bad?"

"Even if we have to take the blame, it's me and Houtu sharing nine to one!"

Although Fengxi's plans perfectly blend cultural invasion, mental assimilation, sowing discord, spreading rumors and brainwashing, among many other yin and yang schemes, from beginning to end Fengxi believes he is a good person, a great loyal subject!

If it weren't for teammates not pulling their weight, giving Houtu a chance to fail, how would he take the initiative to attack?

He had long been lying in the back shouting "666", waiting for the big boss to carry him aloft.

……

"Your scheme looks like it doesn't have too big a problem."

Waiting for the "big boss" Fengxi to finish his tea, Yuzhen pondered before speaking, "Take the initiative to attack, create internal strife within the Demon Race; promote and agitate, from bottom to top, to open up a market for the expansion of reincarnation."

"However, I have some small doubts about the concrete operation of reincarnation." He said, "To place hope in reincarnation already indicates the problem, the despair of reality, the resentment of being unable to achieve immortality……"

"You use achievement contributions to set the reincarnation standards. But some people have insufficient contributions yet still hope for a good rebirth."

"If the final result cannot meet their wishes, it's easy to blame heaven and man, redirecting their original dissatisfaction with reality onto reincarnation."

"Moreover, looking at the problem objectively… in this world, the number of failures far exceeds that of successes!"

"Regarding rebirth, it will only be worse—good rebirths are just a tiny fraction, while ninety-nine percent are bad rebirths." Yuzhen looked at Fengxi, "In other words, a very frightening situation could very well arise——"

"Someone believes in reincarnation lifetime after lifetime, yet each lifetime they are trampled at the lowest level, suffering greatly……"

"A lifetime of hardship, a tragic fate, is already very difficult."

"As a result you tell me, this is not the worst…… the worst is to have to repeat such an experience tens of thousands of times!"

"This is basically moving the eighteen levels of hell into the human world for a public test, right?"

"Speak!"

"Who is the bastard who planned this reincarnation thing, not doing any human affairs?"

"Let me curse that dog planner to death!"

"Even if each such being is insignificant on its own, not worth mentioning…… but little by little, resentment accumulates, and eventually the entire human realm becomes infected, turning into a major trend…… reincarnation might become a place of right and wrong!"

Yuzhen pointed out the flaws of reincarnation, tactfully hinting, "If I were in the position of a powerful Demon Race being, I would certainly make an issue of this, splashing the dirty water of the miserable world caused by their internal class order onto the Wu Clan, shifting the conflict and igniting a great war!"

"Indeed." Fengxi nodded, "The Demon Race will not let us spread recklessly; they will surely target us…… and the needs of all beings, we cannot satisfy, which is also a very realistic situation."

"But, what big problem is this?" He shifted his tone, "It's just a trifle, easily resolved—only a simple operation is needed."

"Erase memories!" Fengxi laughed, "Since we worry that resentment will accumulate, lifetime after lifetime building up, then pairing it with a means to erase memories, wouldn't that work?"

"But doing this would require hard work from Lord Houtu, feeding them soup one by one."

"After swallowing a bowl of reincarnation soup, all past memories are erased…… the newly reborn life of reincarnation will not recall the previous tragic life, nor that reincarnation failed to help them realize the beautiful dream of changing fate, and they must continue to struggle in the mortal world."

"Struggling and struggling, they will again despair of reality, place hope in the next life, and believe in reincarnation!" Fengxi's mouth corners slightly rose, "Often repeating, reincarnation knows no end!"

Hearing his words, Yuzhen looked bewildered, almost stunned.

"Holy shit…… you're harvesting leeks? Cut one batch, another grows?"

"Besides, these leeks also don't retain memory…… right, having their memories forcibly erased, they keep falling into the same pit."

"Of course, when we promote this outwardly, we cannot expose such a face……" Fengxi rubbed his chin, muttering to himself, "Um…… then we'll say the reason for erasing memories is to avoid the karma of past lives affecting future ones."

"It's to settle all grudges once and for all, to prevent ethical norms from becoming chaotic…… Exactly! It's all painstaking effort for the benefit of all beings, absolutely not us making money and then turning our backs on people!"

"Alas…… we truly are great benevolent people, as members of the Wu Clan, considering the Demon Race beings so thoroughly!" Fengxi sighed, "What does this show? It shows the concern of humanism!"

"We are good friends of the Demon Race beings, perfect selfless sages who sacrifice themselves for others!"

"……" Yuzhen covered his face, defeated under Fengxi's words.

After a long while, he finally gathered his spirits, "If all past-life memories are completely erased, how else can you promote the efficacy of reincarnation? Without actual cases, it's likely hard to delude the masses."

"This is even simpler." Fengxi smirked, "Just set a concept that after cultivating to a certain degree, one can trace past and present lives…… wouldn't that work?"

"At this point, you will find that everything about reincarnation forms a perfect closed-loop promotion." Fengxi's smile grew more radiant, "The primary condition to awaken memory is good aptitude…… in other words, the race must be strong!"

"This actually means getting a good rebirth!"

"If a race lacks talent in cultivation, it is also unlikely to reach the stage of awakened memory."

How could the cat Ni in reincarnation be exposed?

Those who were reborn into a bad womb lack the ability to expose.

Those who were reborn into a good womb… they don't even have time to thank Houtu for giving them new life.

"Isn't the appearance of these people the best publicity for reincarnation and rebirth?" Fengxi said, "In that case, the existence of reincarnation is perfect and flawless."

"Hmm… not right." He suddenly frowned, "There are still some places that need fixing."

"Any?" Yuchen doesn't think there's anything lacking.

"There are… after all, Honghuang is vast, so accidents are bound to happen." Fengxi shook his head, "Rising from a bad womb, fighting through thorns all the way, seeking one's past life… could very well come to pass."

"If such people discover that believing in reincarnation is useless, that they're merely having their soul authority controlled by others… that wouldn't be proper!"

"I don't see anything wrong with it." Yuchen said, "Those who can cultivate to that level aren't fools."

"I suppose they're quite clear about what the consequences of speaking recklessly are."

Yuchen spoke lightly, possessing a domineering aura of life and death: "Heaven's will can kill people without the murderer needing to act personally; it can directly cause someone to die in an accident."

"We Wu Clan don't need to compromise and accommodate others… we are the violent faction!"

"That's not appropriate." Fengxi rejected it, "I believe in winning people over with virtue; constantly talking about heavenly harmony and such—how bad is that?"

"Got it!" He clapped his hands, "When we promote reincarnation, we'll insert an extra propaganda talking point."

"To be reborn well requires sufficient contribution. But insufficient contribution doesn't mean our benevolent Houtu Lady does nothing, leaving them to fend for themselves."

"Those contributions will transform into opportunities for rising in the next life—called blessings!"

"Accumulate blessings in past lives, believe in my reincarnation; in the next life, receiving rewards naturally brings opportunity!"

"Exactly! That's it!" Fengxi snapped his fingers, "In cultivation and rise, ultimately it's either good talent or good opportunity… at least one of the two must be involved."

"We'll give both sides a preventive shot; from now on, all beings under heaven will fall into our net!"

Fengxi smiled, his smile full of pride.

He thought to himself, this set of combo punches will leave anyone unable to withstand it, being deceived into a daze.

Those reborn into a bad womb know nothing.

Those reborn into a good womb must thank Houtu.

Rising from a bad womb relies on the opportunities gathered during cultivation… but who can be sure these opportunities aren't arranged by Houtu, or are blessings from believing in reincarnation in past lives?

Perfect!

After this whole process, reincarnation will almost be invincible! Fengxi patted his chest, indicating, "By that point, we won't even need to promote reincarnation ourselves."

Rather, all beings are longing for it, urgently hoping for the birth of reincarnation.

This is the trend!

With such momentum, all the lower beings of Honghuang support it, swept along by the will of humanity… I think, even those high-level strongers of the Demon Race, the Supreme Emperors of Great Luo, cannot wholly ignore it, can they not suppress it forcefully? He looked at Yuchen, hoping the one with backing behind him could give an answer.

"Well…" Yuchen pondered a moment, his brows knitting, "This is really hard to say… if the Great Luo Demon Gods unite, and with the Dao Ancestor Hongjun who holds the Heavenly Dao cooperating, using heaven to control people, they could still suppress it."

Fengxi frowned.

However, by that point, our Wu Clan's Grand Witches and Great Witches won't just stand by; they will surely act to neutralize, checking each other's heavenly will." Yuchen laughed, "That way, those who don't support reincarnation will be left with only the middle-tier forces of the Demon Race, the current winners among demonkind.

They cannot oppose this trend of humanity.

Then that's good." Fengxi let out a long breath, "Suppressing the middle tier is enough."

Oh?" Yuchen raised his eyebrows.

In the world of Honghuang, the peoples that can be called the middle tier are simply those without Great Luo or supreme Taiyi, right?" Fengxi explained, "Peoples possessing Great Luo may not necessarily be reachable by the Adult Houtu, but using reincarnation to dominate these middle-tier peoples… isn't that easy?

Those destined for a good rebirth now have a place to go… after all, for those lower beings, being able to reincarnate into such a peoples—what more could they be dissatisfied with?

Actually, even some Great Luo peoples might not be beyond our reach." Yuchen's eyes flashed as he suddenly said, "Our Wu Clan has so many Great Witches… surely someone will increase investment."

That's true." Fengxi nodded, "But no matter what, once reincarnation is accomplished, we can continue to organize offensives, using it as a springboard to create trouble inside the Demon Race.

I'm curious," he laughed, "those who awaken past-life memories, who were once miserable beings, now have turned their lives around—will they become tyrants, worsening their oppression of the lower classes to prove they hold power, cutting ties with their past lives?

Or will they from now on walk a path of sympathy for the lower beings, determined to challenge the Demon Race's cruel order, to overturn that inhumane, miserable world?

Either way, for our Wu Clan, it's all good." Fengxi rubbed his hands, "It will further intensify the Demon Race's internal contradictions, tearing a huge wound in that bloody hierarchy of superiority and inferiority, the weak preyed upon by the strong.

What do you think?

Good! Very good! Excellent!" Yuchen racked his brains, and in the end could only utter these few words.

If you think it's good, then there should be no problem." Fengxi nodded satisfactorily, then took the Nine Nether Diagram, activated the primordial immortal spirit light's marvelous effect, and contacted a Grand Witch——

Houtu!

His direct superior!

A splendid flash of light, Houtu's image appeared in the hall, looking coldly at Fengxi: "What is it?"

Lady Houtu!" Fengxi said solemnly, "I have important information to report, concerning the future grand situation, needing your support!"

Oh?" Houtu raised her eyebrows, "Go on."

After my diligent research on Mount Kunlun…" Fengxi showed the look of a loyal minister, "arduous travel, neither eating nor drinking, exhausting all effort……

He boasted about himself.

But Houtu's gaze fell upon the packaged delicious food placed on the table beside Fengxi, and the corner of her mouth began to twitch.

——Is she this easy to fool?

However, seeing the mini tattoo on Fengxi's forehead, she decided to give him a chance and hear him out.

I designed a reincarnation publicity strategy, the 'Yin De Blessing' system!

I hereby apply for project approval, hoping the clan's senior combat power will pay attention and protect, avoiding and countering the Demon Race's heavenly interference!

PS: The group's matter, I've been handling it; it should be fine in a few days.
