Chapter 103: From the End Times, I Alone Cut Off Ten Thousand Ages: The Secret of Rebirth

【From the End Times, I Alone Cut Off Ten Thousand Ages】

On Blue Star, in a remote mountain range, peaks towered high, ancient trees stretched to the heavens.

Like white walls holding up the sky, clouds clung to the mountain peaks’ summits, as if marking the edge of heaven and earth.

This was not one or two peaks, but an unbroken chain of mountains.

Beneath the great wall, countless emerald-green towering trees stood dwarfed—short ones at least dozens of meters tall, the tallest reaching over a hundred meters.

From outside to inside, they layered progressively, forming distinct boundaries between the peaks.

The peaks were so towering that, especially on their shadowed sides, daylight lasted only six hours per day.

When the sun passed noon and slanted westward, night fell upon the shadowed side.

BOOM!

Infinite light illuminated the mountain’s dark flank.

It was a colossal explosion, massive enough to sever the peak clean in half.

CRASH!

Endless dust surged into the high sky, blackening the blue heavens.

The celestial pillar broke; the earth’s cords snapped.

Countless otherworldly creatures were crushed to death the instant the peak collapsed.

Accompanying it was a super-tertiary earthquake, shaking snow cascading down the entire mountain range.

The massive avalanche shook heaven and earth; the nameless mountain range seemed to shed a layer of skin.

“Fang Shi! What are you doing?!”

The heart demon’s furious voice rang out, its rage seemingly boundless, enough to drain all five seas and four oceans.

Upon entering this realm, he felt his power draining at an alarming rate.

No great path or rules could be used anymore.

No, not that they couldn’t be used.

But that they were suppressed by an overwhelmingly powerful rule.

The heart demon itself had no form or substance—it existed solely through the Heart Demon Dao.

When his Dao was suppressed, it was like pulling the firewood from under the pot; all his marvelous abilities became inert.

His entire power dropped by ninety-nine percent.

Yet even so, the heart demon’s strength was enough to shatter an Immortal’s body.

The collapse destroyed a ten-thousand-meter peak—not altitude, but a true, physical ten thousand meters.

“Stop acting, please. I’m embarrassed just watching.”

Fang Shi’s cold voice echoed.

He, who should have been obliterated upon losing his Immortal body,

landed on the earth unharmed, perfectly safe.

“Oh dear, you caught me again. My apologies.”

The heart demon spoke in apology, yet his tone brimmed with triumph.

There was even a joy of a great vow fulfilled.

“No wonder this is a realm born of sages—material rules dominate nearly the entire world.”

“It nearly rendered me unable to move my own body.”

“But at least I’ve escaped the Heavenly Sovereign’s seal, gaining true freedom.”

“Truly worthy of its reputation as the place where laws end and Dao perishes.”

Correct—the heart demon never truly expected Fang Shi to willingly help him break the seal.

His entire goal was to force Fang Shi back to Blue Star.

On Blue Star, material rules were overwhelmingly strong—no matter what Heavenly Sovereign seal or not, it meant nothing.

Nothing worked on Blue Star.

The heart demon was no longer the original heart demon—he had stolen the Heart Demon Dao.

His own power had long surpassed the Heavenly Sovereign’s limits.

Had the Heavenly Sovereign not been so powerful, the heart demon wouldn’t have needed Fang Shi at all—he could have escaped on his own.

But on Blue Star, everything changed.

Material rules suppressed the heart demon’s power—and yet, they also suppressed the Heavenly Sovereign’s power.

【From the End Times, I Alone Cut Off Ten Thousand Ages】

If the heart demon’s power dropped by ninety-nine percent upon arriving on Blue Star,

then the Heavenly Sovereign’s power, upon arriving on Blue Star,

dropped by ninety-nine point nine percent.

That 0.09 percent gap infinitely narrowed the distance between heart demon and Heavenly Sovereign.

Thus, the Heavenly Sovereign’s seal was effortlessly shattered by the heart demon.

“Since you’ve gained freedom, go your own way.”

“You take your broad road; I’ll take my narrow bridge.”

“You must have read the rule in the Spirit Sea—the one forbidding Immortals and Gods from harming mortals.”

“Why keep nagging me about it?”

Fang Shi spoke calmly, his tone utterly unruffled.

The heart demon possessed his memories; deducing his intentions was no surprise at all.

If the heart demon hadn’t figured it out, that would’ve been the real oddity.

Back in the Radiation Proto-Elemental Realm, the heart demon had every chance to stop Fang Shi from acquiring the Radiation Hound’s fangs.

Yet the heart demon did nothing—and Fang Shi’s thoughts were swift.

But not faster than the heart demon himself, who was inherently an Immortal-God entity.

Claiming the heart demon was too slow to stop him? That would be the biggest joke.

“No rush. Why rush?”

The heart demon’s cruel, brutal voice spoke: “Since I’ve read your memories,”

“my goals are far beyond this.”

“Do you know why the Heart Demon Dao is called the supreme rule?”

“Because the Heart Demon Dao can absorb the memories of any being who generates a heart demon.”

“From Immortals and Gods down to mortals, none can escape its reach.”

“One who possesses the Heart Demon Dao can absorb the cultivation methods and insights of countless cultivators, turning them into their own nourishment.”

“Raising oneself to higher levels.”

“And in your memories, I’ve read something extraordinary.”

“From that moment, I decided—you must return to Shenzhou.”

Fang Shi remained calm: “So the so-called Transformation Pearl was never meant to help me.”

“Just to prevent me from failing the advancement quest’s requirements?”

“In truth, you never intended to kill me.”

“You knew the trick of deceiving heaven alone could never fool the Heavenly Sovereign’s seal.”

“Only raw, brute force could truly break it.”

“But I still wonder—why not just sneak into me quietly?”

“Why give me power? Why give me an Immortal body? Why force me to Blue Star?”

The heart demon sneered: “You think escaping is that simple?”

“Do you believe I could just hide inside you?”

“You’d be expelled the moment you returned to Shenzhou.”

“The Heavenly Sovereign’s seal isn’t some rigid thing like your memories of computers.”

“Its adaptability surpasses mortal comprehension.”

“Otherwise, I would’ve escaped the moment you opened the Heart Demon Realm three months ago.”

“I had to truly merge with you, so the Heavenly Sovereign perceived me as you.”

“Only then could I truly reach Blue Star.”

Fang Shi said: “So your claim that you couldn’t give me power—was all a lie?”

“Actually, even if you gave me more power, it wouldn’t have affected my ability to break the seal.”

“You were merely using my identity as a stepping stone.”

The heart demon laughed: “No, I didn’t lie. If I had, I could’ve just twisted your mind and forced you back to Shenzhou.”

“I merely used the Heart Demon Dao to purify some power, returning its essence to the Heavenly Sovereign.”

“Otherwise, do you really think the Heavenly Sovereign would’ve left any power behind in that place for me?”

"The immortal body on you is, in essence, a part of me."

"This is not power lent to you—it is the true, original source, the real power I grant you."

"But I’ve adjusted how it’s used—each use is a waste of this original source."

"Leaving you not a single trace behind."

The heart demon’s method is like that of a skilled smuggler.

The seal is the border checkpoint.

Fang Shi is a traveler with a permit to cross both sides.

For the heart demon to smuggle himself in, he must acquire Fang Shi’s identity.

Thus, he forged a passage cargo: the power of the Heavenly Sovereign.

He then handed it to Fang Shi, hiding himself within it.

He slipped past the border checkpoint.

Precisely because the heart demon’s power was so immense, he had to give Fang Shi great power as cover.

The heart demon’s so-called breaking of the seal was merely a series of preparations for this plan.

The method to break the seal is real—if it succeeds, so be it.

If it fails, he proceeds with the next phase.

Thus, no matter what, the heart demon wins hands down.

"Actually, smuggling into Shenzhou is my third plan."

"Though it’s what I most desire to carry out, everything must be guided slowly."

"Your agreement to my contract is my second plan."

"So-called fate contracts are merely tools to bind the weak."

"Do you think such things still bind someone who has reached the Sage’s level?"

"Thus, even the harshest terms, I dare sign with you."

"Of course, perhaps when I ascend to the pinnacle, my mood will improve."

"Resurrecting you as an immortal deity is not out of the question."

"Fortunately, somehow you sensed the nature of the power."

"You actually thought to complete the advancement task that must be done independently."

"So much so that I hadn’t even begun guiding you."

"My third plan proceeded smoothly."

The heart demon, unrestrained, openly revealed his entire plan.

Wealth without returning to one’s homeland is like wearing brocade in the dark.

As a monster that manipulates minds, the heart demon naturally absorbed the habits of living beings.

If he didn’t properly display his cleverness, his heart would not be at ease.

Especially when the overall situation was already settled.

"Heh, blame yourself—for giving me power, yet I gained no experience from killing monsters."

"This is simply unacceptable, given my Level 10 life rank."

"One punch to Tongchang should have blown my experience bar to pieces."

"That’s when I realized: my life’s essence had already changed—this power is truly mine."

"So, fighting low-level monsters naturally gives me no experience."

"Sure enough, when I reached the Radiation Quasi-Elemental Plane, I completed my task without issue."

【Starting from the Apocalypse: Alone Through Eternity】

The attribute panel was never a nanny—it had no manual and never gave you information beyond your understanding.

Things like first-kill rewards, cross-level or cross-rank experience, experience penalties—all were human conclusions after the Apocalypse.

Whether these were its true rules, no one knew.

Moreover, when you encountered illusions or hallucinations, if you remained unaware,

it would never display data to alert you—unless you truly perceived it.

All data existed only within what you could comprehend.

When Fang Shi killed the Tongchang monster with one punch, a new data line appeared.

"Your life rank has risen to False Immortal."

"You have gained a rank trait."

"False Immortal: Your life rank has been elevated. All attribute checks related to power, physique, and agility gain a +40 bonus."

"Blessing of the Immortal: Your soul will remain unharmed until the Immortal’s blessing fades."

After the immortal body was destroyed, another line appeared.

"Your life rank has dropped to Rank One."

"You have gained a rank trait."

"Qi Refining: Your life rank has been elevated. All attribute checks gain a +2 bonus."

The heart demon suddenly understood: "So that’s why—I still haven’t mastered my Heart Demon Dao."

"When acquiring the attribute panel and Taimora-related memories, I always missed something."

"But it doesn’t matter—your greatest secret is about to be mine."

"Let me see—what is the secret of rebirth!"

"Let me see—what is the secret of reincarnation!"
