Chapter 311: Did the Reincarnation Method Succeed or Fail?

【Age 1340: You reshape the ancient imperial dynasty and establish the Azure Nation.】

The Azure Army becomes the number one army in the world.

And you, too, become the undisputed strongest under the heavens, invincible throughout the world.】

【Age 1350: You lead the Azure Army on a personal expedition, and after thirty years of bitter fighting, you finally reclaim the seven lost provinces from the Demon Race.】

Your reputation grows even greater; you are the undisputed co-ruler of the Human Race.】

【Age 1351: The Demon Race proposes peace, but you refuse.】

【Age 1421: You win consecutive victories in the great war against the Demon Race.】

The Azure Army becomes the nightmare of the Demon Race.

The Demon Race shows signs of decline.

Your prestige among the Human Race grows immensely.】

【Age 1450: You meet an Outsider and learn some information about the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.】

With a resolute gaze, you decide to accelerate the eradication of the Demon Race.】

In an unknown land, you and your junior martial sister Yunying find two Supreme Treasures, namely the River Map and the Luo Script.】

【Age 1530: The Evil Spirits commit the horrific Three Massacres of Liang Province at the border; you are enraged, lead an expedition yourself, and strike thirty thousand miles deep into the Evil Spirit kingdom.】

【Age 1546: The Evil Spirits sue for peace. Many ministers in the army urge you to prioritize the big picture and temporarily abandon the war with the Evil Spirits; otherwise, fighting on two fronts and being attacked from both sides would be of no benefit to the Human Race.】

You ponder for a long time, but in the end, you do not choose to prioritize the big picture.】

【Age 1630: The Demon Race joins the battlefield and repeatedly violates the borders.】

The Human Race, by its own strength, opposes three major races.】

Relying on the Azure Army, you fight on three fronts without showing any disadvantage.】

【Age 1780: The Demon Race, the Demon Race, and the Evil Spirits form an alliance to jointly oppose the Human Race.】

【Age 1829: Stars fall; you gain insight into life and death, and your realm reaches a terrifying height.】

【Age 1937: Under the offensive of the Azure Army, the Demon Race, the Demon Race, and the Evil Spirits retreat steadily.】

The Human Race becomes the undisputed Overlord of the current world.】

【Age 2000: You lead a great army deep into the Demon Race, annihilate the demon kingdom, and achieve an unparalleled feat.】

You confer the title of God General upon two hundred and fifty-seven meritorious generals and teach them the Small Reincarnation Method.】

【Age 2100: The Evil Spirit kingdom collapses, and the Evil Spirit King dies in battle.】

【Age 2200: You lead two hundred and fifty-seven God Generals and numerous armies to invade the Evil Spirit kingdom.】

Originally, this was supposed to be an easy annihilation battle.

But who would have known that the Evil Spirits had secretly colluded with Outsiders to break the world barrier.】

Countless powerhouses descend, and the Azure Nation is like a young dragon trapped in a swamp.】

You are already invincible in the world, but facing enemies from the heavens, you are powerless.】

The Azure Army suffers heavy casualties in an instant.】

Seeing your soldiers die in battle and watching the river flow west, you comprehend a powerful technique.】

【Age 2212: The Azure Army, all the God Generals, and all the soldiers entrust their own life force and spirit to you.】

Your strength rises to a new level.】

You alone confront the Evil Spirits and the Outsiders, suppressing these enemies with terrifying and peerless strength.】

The enemies are dead, but the Azure Army is almost completely wiped out.】

You return to the Azure Nation and see many people, but the old friends who once fought by your side have disappeared.】

【Age 2213: You travel across the world, wanting to see through life and death.】

However, life and death are not so easily overcome.】

Nevertheless, the Reincarnation Method is further perfected.】

You arrive at the Evil Spirit kingdom and cast the Great Samsara Technique.】

The human citizens who were once protected by the Azure Army, upon reaching the end of their natural lives, arrive at the Evil Spirit kingdom one after another.】

They say: We wish to transform our bodies into heroic spirits to guard the fallen soldiers and bring their souls home.】

You remain silent; you do not know if the Reincarnation Method will be of any use.】

After endless years, will the old friends of the past awaken?】

【Year 2300: You travel across mountains and rivers, wanting to find the true Reincarnation Method.】

Alas, you gain nothing.】

According to ancient records, there is no true immortality in the world.】

Even the supreme powerhouses cannot escape the kalpa.】

All Saint Spirits are but mayflies in the long river of time.】

Once trapped in the long river, there is no possibility of rebirth.】

【Age 2413: Yunying dies in your arms from wounds that could not be healed.】

Looking at the face of your former junior martial sister, your heart is filled with mixed emotions.】

You bury your junior martial sister, with the River Map and the Luo Script as her companions.】

【Age 3000: You wait in the Evil Spirit kingdom for nearly a thousand years, but your old friends do not awaken.】

You know... the Reincarnation Method has failed; you let out a sigh of helplessness and finally leave the Netherworld to enter the heavens.】

The scene comes to an abrupt end.

Lin Chao suddenly wakes up.

Today, he feels as if he has lived through three thousand years and experienced the entire life of Ling Xuan.

The main color of Ling Xuan's life was his opposition to the Demon Race, the Demon Race, and the Evil Spirit.

In Lin Chao's memory, this Ling Xuan was born from humble beginnings, yet displayed powerful talent and aptitude, possessed extremely high comprehension, and gradually grew into a Human Race Emperor of a generation.

It could be said that this was an epic story.

"Could it be... that this is also a life I have experienced?"

Lin Chao was somewhat hesitant.

He suspected that the experiences of this Ling Xuan were also ones he had experienced before.

Unfortunately, this Holy Spirit Baptism only covered three thousand years of Ling Xuan's life.

As for what happened after Ling Xuan went beyond the heavens, Lin Chao did not know.

"Dragon... Ling Xuan?"

Lin Chao frowned; he thought of the butterfly bird, and he thought of that big guy in the butterfly bird's words: the dragon.

In fact, Lin Chao had suspected that the dragon was him.

It was just that in his memories, there had never been memories of a dragon, nor had there been memories of Ling Xuan.

"Is this my past... or my future?"

Lin Chao's gaze was deep.

He was somewhat puzzled.

"Sigh, I am still too weak." Lin Chao sighed.

Indeed, the current him was still too weak.

Otherwise, he would certainly be able to obtain the answers to these sealed truths.

The current him had not reached the Main God Realm and could not even break through a Small Thousand World.

Lin Chao immediately cast these thoughts aside.

He began to recall the life of Ling Xuan.

"Ling Xuan's life was a pursuit of the Reincarnation Method.

Did he succeed in the end?"

Lin Chao pondered.

Ling Xuan pursued the Reincarnation Method and eventually refined the Small Reincarnation Method and the Great Samsara Technique.

However, compared to true reincarnation, these two Reincarnation Methods could be considered failures; they were not true reincarnation.

"This Holy Spirit Baptism only lasted three thousand years.

There are still Ninety-Nine Holy Cities in the Southern Heaven Domain.

If I perform the Holy Spirit Baptism again, can I know Ling Xuan's ending?

He went beyond the heavens in the end; what was his ending?"

Lin Chao's gaze was firm.

It seemed he had to make a trip to the Southern Heaven Domain.

Now, he also had many guesses in his heart.

When in the Outer World, Innate Gods existed, parasitizing human bodies, which was why ordinary people could practice Qi-Blood Martial Dao.

The current Lin Chao strongly suspected that these two hundred and fifty-seven cultivation techniques represented two hundred and fifty-seven God Generals.

"It's just... there is one more that represents me...

Is that person Ling Xuan?

If so, doesn't that mean... Ling Xuan also fell in the very end?"

Lin Chao frowned.

"Senior is awake? How do you feel?" At this moment, the Lihuo City Lord spoke up, his eyes filled with curiosity.

The other City Lords were also very curious.

An ordinary Holy Spirit Baptism would never last too long.

This time, Senior Xu Ling had kept his eyes closed for a full three days.

This was very surprising.

"Many thanks to you all; I have benefited greatly from this baptism.

May I ask, if I go to the Southern Heaven Domain, can I continue to perform the Holy Spirit Baptism?" Lin Chao asked casually.

"Naturally, you can." Lihuo smiled, "It is the honor of this junior to be able to serve Senior.

We shall write a letter now and send it to the Southern Heaven Domain."

"Many thanks to you all." Lin Chao looked at Lihuo, and then at these people.

His heart was somewhat complicated.

If Ling Xuan's Reincarnation Method had succeeded.

Then, the people before him, as well as the people of the Outer World, were very likely soldiers of the Azure Army, or perhaps those Azure citizens who voluntarily guarded the spirits for the Azure Army.

"Goodbye."

Lin Chao bid farewell to the many City Lords and left the North Heaven Domain.

Lihuo City Lord watched Lin Chao's back, his gaze complex: "Is the Human Race... finally going to flourish?"

"We must also strive to be strong; we cannot rely entirely on Senior."

"I hope everything goes smoothly for Senior."

Two years later.

Gubo Domain.

A long caravan moved slowly across the desolate, yellow earth.

The chief envoy, Liu Yan, rode on a Fire horse, took a breath of the air, and a complex look flashed in his eyes.

"Gubo Domain is truly worthy of being the center of the Blood Clan; the strong are as numerous as a forest."

Two years ago, Liu Yan carried the mandate of the Human Race alliance to serve as an envoy to Gubo Domain.

Along the way, without stopping, after two years of long-distance travel, they finally arrived at Gubo Domain.

This time, he would lead the envoys to rush to Blood Shen Shan to meet the Domain Lord of Gubo Domain, Prince Bo Daye.

"Along the way, I saw countless fleeing humans.

In Gubo Domain, all humans live worse than dogs.

Only in our Southern Heaven Domain do humans have some dignity.

When will such a situation ever end?" Deputy envoy Luo Zhong also let out a sigh.

Southern Heaven Domain has Ninety-Nine Holy Cities.

Among the Twenty-one domains, the Human Race force is the greatest in the Southern Heaven Domain.

In other domains, the Human Race survives in the cracks.

"Luo Zhong, stop letting your imagination run wild.

The gap in strength between our Human Race and the Blood Clan is too great.

The only hope we have now is to be able to hold onto the Southern Heaven Domain.

As for the other domains, they don't count for anything at all."

Luo Zhong frowned, feeling quite displeased in his heart.

In the Southern Heaven Domain, the power of the Human Race and the Blood Clan is balanced, and the Human Race even holds a certain advantage.

Therefore, in the Southern Heaven Domain, large-scale battles rarely occur between the Human Race and the Blood Clan.

The humans in the Earth Cave are also not as fearful as the humans in other domains.

Regarding the Blood Clan, there are also many disputes and ideas among the Human Race.

Luo Zhong is of the War Faction, advocating that the Human Race and the Blood Clan are irreconcilable.

Liu Yan is of the Peace Faction, advocating that the Human Race and the Blood Clan coexist peacefully.

Of course, this kind of peaceful coexistence makes Luo Zhong feel disdain.

Luo Zhong knows that Liu Yan's peaceful coexistence refers to the Holy Cities reaching peace with the Blood Clan.

As for the humans in the Earth Cave, they are completely handed over to the Blood Clan to deal with, and the Holy Cities can ignore them.

Of course, this peace-seeking faction is limited to some powerful clans within the Holy Cities.

As for all the City Lords of the Holy Cities, it is impossible to seek peace.

After all, having experienced the Holy Spirit Baptism, the City Lords of the Holy Cities have an inexplicable disgust toward the Blood Clan.

"Luo Zhong, we will arrive at Blood Shen Shan soon, so you must restrain your pampered temper; when you meet the Blood Clan, be a little more polite.

Today is the Blood God Ceremony, and all the Blood Clan Princes of Gubo Domain will gather in one hall.

If you offend a Blood Clan Prince, it will be of no benefit to our Human Race," Liu Yan instructed from the side.

"What if the Blood Clan offends us?" Luo Zhong could not help but retort.

"I hope you can prioritize the big picture and not offend the Blood Clan Prince.

We represent the Human Race; any action might cause the interests of the Human Race to suffer," Liu Yan said from the side.

"So... acting like a grandson?" Luo Zhong had long been unable to stand Liu Yan.

Along the way, the two had many conflicts.

"How is that called acting like a grandson?" Liu Yan also felt unhappy.

"Alright, stop arguing, you are letting Mr. Xu Ling see a joke," an old man said with a chuckle from the side.

Hearing the old man stop them, Luo Zhong and Liu Yan finally stopped arguing.

Xu Ling, who was on the side, saw this scene and sighed inwardly.

Even in a world like this, where the Blood Clan feeds on the Human Race, there are still people who kneel on the ground and cannot get up, serving the Blood Clan as their masters.

In these two years, Lin Chao went to many domains and Slay many Blood Clan.

Yesterday, he arrived at Gubo Domain.

He naturally also investigated the Blood God Ceremony.

The Blood God Ceremony is the grandest event in Gubo Domain, and all the strong of the Blood Clan will gather at Blood Shen Shan.

Therefore, Lin Chao simply waited another day, waiting for the Blood Clan to gather before taking action, to avoid having to run all over Gubo Domain again, which would be troublesome.

This morning, he saw this caravan in the Earth Cave also rushing to Blood Shen Shan, so he simply followed them.

The group arrived at the foot of Blood Shen Shan, and Lin Chao's eyes brightened slightly.

There were many auras of Blood Clan experts on the mountain.

Lin Chao estimated that there were over three hundred Blood Clan Princes alone.

And at this time, a Blood Clan Marquis walked over: "Are you the envoys of the Human Race?"

This Blood Clan Marquis had an unkind look in his eyes.

"This lord, we come from the Southern Heaven Domain," Liu Yan said with a fawning smile on his face.

"Did you pass by the Dawn Duke Territory today and rescue a group of people?

Those people are the slaves of the Dawn Duke who escaped from the Duke Territory.

Now, hand those people over."

The Blood Clan Marquis's expression was unkind and high and mighty.

"This lord, those people are not slaves; they are our Human Race people," Luo Zhong could not help but say.

In the morning, they indeed encountered quite a few people; seeing them in distress, Luo Zhong let them join the caravan, preparing to bring them back to the Southern Heaven Domain.

Among them, Xu Ling was also encountered in the Dawn Duke Territory.

"Hmph, an incident occurred in the Dawn Duke Territory, and the Dawn Duke is dead.

I suspect that you colluded with those slaves to strike against the Dawn Duke Territory.

Now, hand over those slaves, otherwise, you are their accomplices."

The Blood Clan Marquis's voice was devoid of any courtesy.

Beside him, Luo Zhong's expression was unsightly.

This Blood Clan Marquis was simply being unreasonable.

How could they possibly have struck against the Dawn Duke Territory?

"My lord, we are envoys of the Human Race, how could we possibly do such things?

Those people are also our fellow humans, and they are all very weak; how could they possibly take action against the Dawn Duke Territory?"

The people taken in today were mostly Ordinary people, without much strength.

This Blood Clan Marquis was fundamentally being unreasonable.

The Blood Clan Marquis's expression was unsightly: "Could it be... you refuse to hand them over?"

Beside him, Liu Yan immediately revealed a fearful expression: "My lord, please wait a moment, we will hand them over right now!"

Luo Zhong's expression changed drastically: "Liu Yan, what do you mean?"

"Luo Zhong, we represent the Human Race and have important matters to attend to.

Do not let these outsiders delay our important business.

I am the chief envoy, everything is to be heard from me!" Liu Yan's voice was unceremonious.

Luo Zhong looked at Liu Yan, his eyes wanting to spew Fire.

The Liu Yan of two years ago was not like this.

Otherwise, he would not have been able to become the chief envoy.

But in the span of two years, he had changed a lot.

And at this moment, Xu Ling, who was to the side, sensed something, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Everyone, thank you for giving me a ride, it is time for me to leave."

Thanks to 【Hurry Up and Update, I'm Starving】 for the tip!
