Chapter 676: Past Life or Present Life?

Memories of life after life flashed through Li Heng's mind.

Enemies, friends and family, confidantes...

Everything suddenly surged into his mind, rooted deep within his soul. That feeling, both familiar and strange, made him realize clearly that this was not a hallucination fooling him, but memories that truly belonged to him!

He felt lost and melancholy in his heart.

He had always thought himself to be the reincarnation of the God King of Reincarnation, and that he had finally returned successfully after ten thousand lifetimes of reincarnation. Yet, according to the information in his mind, he had reincarnated far more than ten thousand times; even a number in the hundreds of millions seemed incredibly small, reaching an unimaginable scale.

"Who exactly are you? My initial past life?"

"Li Heng" looked at Li Heng and asked.

Perhaps there was no God King of Reincarnation from the beginning, but he definitely had an initial past life, and this past life was highly likely to be this "self" before him.

Li Heng shook his head in disappointment upon hearing this.

"Is that what you guess?"

"Otherwise?" "Li Heng" asked Li Heng in return.

"Although I don't know the specific reason, the fact that I have reincarnated so many times, and all within the Lunhui Shengtu, is enough to explain many things. For instance, I, or rather you, have been trapped, and the person who trapped you and me is some enemy."

"Is there such a possibility?"

"Back then, you fought that enemy, fell into a disadvantage, and were even suppressed. But because your realm was too profound to allow for death, that enemy sent you into reincarnation, hoping to use these countless cycles to grind away your True Spirit?"

"However, it is obvious that you were not ground away in the end, but that enemy did not fail completely either, because these countless cycles of reincarnation created me, who broke free from your control. In a sense, I should be considered a newborn you, shouldn't I?"

"Li Heng" speculated calmly.

With his current realm and Wisdom, he could think of many things, but this was the most likely one. As for evidence? He could sense that his power was of the same origin as the self before him, just like the difference between a past life and a present life; this was the evidence.

Li Heng sighed aloud.

"If that is what you think, then it seems Diluo thinks so too? Come out, Diluo, you have been peeking for so long."

As soon as the words fell, a figure appeared beside the two; it was Diluo. He looked at the two with a smile and spoke.

"I indeed thought so, but I still achieved my goal, didn't I? However, this did indeed exceed my expectations. You are only a Dao Body here, yet you were able to withstand the grinding of so many reincarnations without becoming lost. Thinking about it now, that Dao Body of mine falling into your hands back then was not an injustice."

"You are that enemy? It seems you really succeeded, splitting the original me into two people: one me, and one him; one the present life, and one the past life."

"Li Heng" said without any surprise upon seeing Diluo appear.

"How can you call me an enemy? You must know that if it weren't for the creation of these many reincarnations by me, you would never have been born, nor would you have developed an independently conscious self, and in the end, you would only have been swallowed back up by that past life of yours."

Diluo spoke with a smile.

"Your fundamental goal is still to deal with my past life. Once my past life is completely killed, you might not refrain from moving against me."

"Li Heng" said coldly.

"So? Do you want to join forces with your past life?"

Diluo looked at the two Li Hengs and said meaningfully.

"That is naturally impossible. I am the present life, so it is naturally impossible for me to join forces with the past life." "Li Heng" said frankly; he had finally managed to become independent and did not want to be merged by the past life again.

"Look at that, a part of yourself does not want to help you."

Diluo laughed and said, looking at the real Li Heng.

Unexpectedly, Li Heng had a strange expression and let out a long sigh toward the sky.

"Fellow Daoist Diluo, do you really think you succeeded? Was I really split into two parts by your countless cycles of reincarnation? Or is it that you have been acting all along?"

"He actually succeeded, because he split me off! And I, possessing an independent free will, will not merge with you, unless you let me be the dominant consciousness."

"Li Heng" looked at Li Heng and said calmly.

He had already seen through everything.

"Sometimes, overthinking is not a good habit."

Li Heng shook his head. When he encountered Unknown information, he never overthought it; he always sought truth from facts, which was why he would not be blindly arrogant and step into a trap.

"A game character wanting to be a player—interesting."

As soon as Li Heng finished speaking, that "Li Heng" who thought he had seen through everything instantly vanished, dissipating completely, leaving not a single trace within the entire Heaven and Earth.

Diluo was struck with terror and exclaimed in shock.

"What did you do? You erased your own other half? Killing yourself? But why are you not severely injured in your Original Qi!"

Li Heng raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, his expression becoming even more subtle.

"Fellow Daoist Diluo, are you truly stupid or just pretending? Have you never seen a player cancel a game account? Once the account is canceled, the character and data inside naturally disappear, don't they?"

"Damn it, I didn't expect you to have an ace up your sleeve; I've been played!"

Diluo's face turned gloomy, and he said viciously.

Li Heng's expression became strange. He thought for a moment and slapped out; a palm wind capable of extinguishing the Great Dao erupted, directly fanning the Diluo before him into nothingness, turning him into dust filling the sky.

Seeing this situation, he did not feel particularly strange.

"Fellow Daoist Diluo, you are truly too naughty."

Li Heng said with a smile.

And the next moment, the father of that "Li Heng," who should have been like an Outsider unable to perceive or observe the situation here, suddenly looked over and walked over slowly. With every step he took, his figure and appearance changed by a fraction, and by the time he reached them, he was already in the likeness of Diluo.

"Fellow Daoist Li's insight is truly Terror; you actually knew that was just a Dao Body. However, I did miscalculate this situation. I truly did not expect that even with me operating the Reincarnation at full power, you could still remain transcendent, not having your origin separated by the Reincarnation into two selves."

Diluo shook his head, saying with some disappointment.

"I also think you truly did not expect it."

Li Heng nodded in agreement and slapped out again. Chaos Qi surged, and the Great Dao was ground away, and then the Diluo before him was fanned away by him again.

"Diluo, if you are naughty again, there will be no candy for you."

He shook his head and smiled.

"Li Daoren, you have destroyed two of my Dao Bodies in a row; what are you trying to do!" The mother of that "Li Heng" also looked over here and said viciously, having also turned into the likeness of Diluo.

"What are you in such a rush for?"

"In any case, everyone in the Reincarnation Sacred Land is your avatar."

Li Heng smiled.

Di Luo fell into silence upon hearing this, and after a long while, he spoke.

"How did you guess?"
