A young man dressed as a Taoist priest appeared in front of Li Wei.
Half-cycle.
He is a powerful being who has undergone half-reincarnation.
This is the first enemy that Li Wei has encountered while cleaning up the cycle of reincarnation, one that he can truly face.
PAS: This is a 3,000-word chapter, the ending is complete, and the final details are still being considered.
There aren't many unfilled gaps left. If there are any that you're particularly concerned about, feel free to mention them here; there might be some we've overlooked.
As for the parts we remember, they will be filled in at the end of this volume and in the next volume.
This volume, "Reincarnation and Fall," will conclude in the next day or two, marking the beginning of the final volume.
Chapters 521-523: Spell Enhancement, Reincarnation Demon God Descends
The appearance of this Taoist priest was not unexpected. Even if the person standing here was not a Taoist priest, he could be a sorcerer, a martial artist, or something else.
Li Wei caused such a commotion in the Samsara Great World that even some reclusive powerhouses were alarmed.
"Are you here as a mediator?"
The young Taoist priest nodded. "I understand what happened. Now that you've gone this far, the grudges between us should be mostly resolved, right?"
"If we continue, it might be counterproductive."
"They want war, so I'll give them war. And war never ends; it's always just a whim of the strong."
"I'm not done yet, that's all."
"What is said must be done, and what is done must be accomplished."
“If I say that all living beings should perish, then all living beings have no right to exist.”
"Aren't the dead enough?" the young Taoist priest said.
"The damned ones aren't all dead yet," Li Wei sneered.
"For the sake of the slight connection between my Taoist community and your hometown, can't you give me some face?" the young Taoist priest pleaded earnestly.
"Ridiculous. I don't even care about the radiation from your faith, which is already a large amount. What right do you have to talk about fate?"
In the Great World of Reincarnation, besides the planes that major powers want to cultivate and which will radiate outwards to absorb destiny, some sects and holy lands will also adopt similar methods to spread their faith and gather the destiny of heaven and earth.
The sect the young Taoist belonged to was one of them.
They are all reclusive forces that do not engage in external conflicts, yet they are so powerful that people are wary of them and dare not provoke them.
Hearing Li Wei's words, the young Taoist knew he was in the wrong. He paused for a moment and continued, "Fellow Daoist, why bother? With your commotion, the Reincarnation Demons of the Great Reincarnation World have already begun to focus their attention on you. If you continue to cause trouble, I'm afraid your fate won't be good."
"If you stop here, then our sect's ancestors will show some leniency on your behalf, and we can both stop. What do you say?"
Li Wei saw through everything and knew perfectly well what the young Taoist priest was up to.
"It seems that your sects value the fate of the Samsara Great World very much, is that right?"
The young Taoist priest sighed helplessly, “Since you’ve figured it out, why be so direct? Admittedly, our sect is trying to avoid a large-scale war that would deplete the fortune of the entire world and thus affect our sect’s, especially our ancestor’s, progress.”
"But putting aside our purpose, isn't this a good thing for you, fellow Daoist?"
"At least we can give you a way out, so you can stop while you're ahead. And with us involved, out of respect for our sect's patriarchs, those demons in the Supreme Tower will still compromise a bit."
"Fellow Daoist is well aware of the terrifying disasters that would be brought to this world if powerful individuals who are involved in the threshold of reincarnation were to truly clash."
"You and I are both half-reincarnations. If we were to truly fight, more than half the world would be annihilated. Moreover, once a reincarnation-level demon god makes a move, it will surely be earth-shattering. Fellow Daoist, please think twice."
If Li Wei hadn't already reached the half-reincarnation level and been qualified to fight the Reincarnation Demon God, the strongest member of this sect would probably have personally taken action to kill Li Wei in order to eliminate an obstacle affecting the development of their sect's foundation.
Under normal circumstances, a half-reincarnation level being can hardly withstand a reincarnation demon god. However, if one disregards the consequences and forcibly enters the cycle of reincarnation, although one will die and perish after a short time, one can still unleash the power of a reincarnation level during this period.
The term "Reincarnation Level" refers to a being whose strength is equivalent to the sum of the entire Reincarnation Great World. It also means that a Reincarnation Level deity is a Reincarnation World in itself, with a universe within its body.
Basically, if there are no powerful beings of the same level to interfere, each of the Reincarnation Demon Gods can destroy a Reincarnation Great World, or even an entire world.
This is the power of the Reincarnation Demon God, who embodies the entire universe.
Seeing that Li Wei's expression remained unchanged and showed no sign of compromise, the young Taoist priest's face turned slightly cold.
"Fellow Daoist, as a half-reincarnation, you should know what price you will pay for making an enemy of the Reincarnation Demon God."
"You might be able to drag half of the cycle of reincarnation into this process, but you yourself will inevitably perish."
"To reach this level of cultivation, one must exert tremendous effort and endure immense hardship, facing life-or-death threats and breaking through countless bottlenecks and difficulties. You... should have a deep understanding of this."
"Let alone half reincarnation, even the Sovereign level is extremely difficult to achieve. The Sovereign level is one in a trillion, and if you include those barbaric and backward worlds, the number will only be larger."
"Having emerged from the masses through numerous hardships, we should be sitting high on the clouds, looking down upon the world. What a wonderful thing that would be!"
"What reason do you have to be angry for those ants? To do such an irrational thing for them?"
"Half a cycle of reincarnation, even at the very top of the pyramid of reincarnation, is only a step away. Perhaps after a few great kalpas of reincarnation, we will also be one of them."
"At that time, scheming against the world and manipulating the common people will be just a matter of a single thought from us."
"To be honest, if it weren't for your stubborn attitude and the fact that it has actually affected the interests of the Reincarnation Demon Gods, they wouldn't care how many Sovereign-level beings died, let alone other insignificant creatures."
"If you act after they've harvested their fortune, they won't have much of a problem, provided you go through the motions and get their consent."
"At worst, we can let the Samsara World wait a little longer. With our intervention, it will soon recover its vitality."
"Don't be fooled by the fact that the demons of the Supreme Council want to seize the position of hegemon and completely rule the Great World of Reincarnation. In the end, all they want is luck."
"As long as you have good fortune, you can cause as much trouble as you want."
"It's like an adult looking at a child, stepping on ants on the roadside. So what if there are a lot of ants?"
"Are you done talking?" Li Wei said calmly.
Upon seeing Li Wei's demeanor, the young Taoist priest's usually indifferent expression turned somewhat annoyed.
After reaching the half-reincarnation level, when had he ever been so indifferent?
"Fellow Daoist, do you intend to persist to the end?"
Suppressing his dissatisfaction, the young Taoist priest asked one last question.
"All living beings are destined to perish."
Li Wei gave a reply that seemed unrelated to the question.
There is no yes or no, but this is the answer.
"Since that's the case, you'd better take care of yourself," the young Taoist said coldly, not even bothering to address him as "fellow Taoist."
Just then, Li Wei suddenly asked, "Have you ever heard of God?"
This is a statement of affirmation.
The young Taoist priest had naturally heard of the name God.
It was one of the oldest gods and demons, whose reputation was once no less than that of their sect's ancestor. However, in a certain ancient period, it suddenly disappeared completely and was later confirmed to have perished.
At the time, it caused quite a stir.
A demon god of reincarnation investigated this matter, and later, many clues pointed to a terrifying being—
President.
It was this great man who killed God, for reasons unknown.
It could be a sudden whim of the Lord, or it could be that God has offended the Lord, or it could be for some other unknown reason.
Since then, the once-powerful name of God has gradually declined, and slowly, the scope of God's name has become smaller and smaller.
The young Taoist priest knew all of this.
Although he was not a demon god of reincarnation and existed before the beginning of reincarnation, he lived for a long enough period of time to be among the first beings after the beginning of reincarnation.
Just as the young Taoist priest's memories flashed through his mind, a sword appeared in Li Wei's hand.
The divine name transformed into a sword.
The power of this sword can only be described as average. The reason for its weak power is that the name of the god who transformed the sword is not well-known. At least at the level of half reincarnation, the nurturing of this god is far from sufficient, and it is at most at the level of the ruler.
However, after a brief moment of doubt, the young Taoist priest was shocked.
He coexisted with God for a very long time. In the early days of reincarnation, there were far fewer living beings in the world than there are now, not to mention powerful deities.
Most of the top-tier individuals are quite familiar to me.
In particular, many of the reincarnation demons who were born before the beginning of reincarnation walked the world at that time, leaving behind their divine names and gathering fortune and faith.
God is a very famous demon god.
One of the demon gods of reincarnation, whose strength was among the top at the time.
Therefore, even after many years, the young Taoist priest, with the profound impression left by the power of God at that time, coupled with his amazing memories at the half-reincarnation level, quickly recalled the name of the god corresponding to this sword.
In the name of God!
"you you……"
When he realized who was standing in front of him, the young Taoist was shocked and stammered for a moment.
The Sovereign was one of the two supreme beings who once suppressed all the heavens, following the Tyrant, and whose power overwhelmed all the strong in the entire Samsara Great World, leaving them breathless. They were the only ones who remained in seclusion, cultivating silently, fearing that one day they would be found!
Immediately, the young Taoist priest was surprised and doubtful, because Li Wei was also a half-reincarnation, and the ruler who had dominated the world back then was a recognized reincarnation level.
However, the young Taoist's doubts all disappeared after Li Wei added the power of several more divine names.
The Supreme Ruler—that was a kid whose name overlapped with that of a god, yet he was incredibly stubborn. He soon perished at the hands of the Supreme Ruler, who had stolen the god's name.
Godslayer – The name the ruler received after annihilating numerous rebellious or challenging deities.
Demons—a divine name formed from the dissatisfaction and hatred of the original ruling classes of various planes towards the ruler.
Besides these, there are several others, all of which are incarnations of the sovereign god.
If it were the name of God, there would still be room for doubt. But the names of the gods that appear later are completely unassailable.
Although the young Taoist priest did not understand why these deities were so weak now, in theory, even if the reputation of the ruler was fading, it should only become stronger under the nurturing of the ruler's divine power.
All of this, upon realizing that the person before him was the supreme expert of yesteryear, caused the young Taoist to lose his courage to test him.
Just as he had advised Li Wei at the beginning, he had said that it was incredibly difficult for a half-reincarnation super-strong person to cultivate to this level, and that he had an infinite lifespan in the future, as well as a chance to reach the pinnacle of power and become the world's emperor.
He must be stupid to recklessly test the waters.
Even if the ruler's strength is not as great as it used to be, as long as his strength is tainted by reincarnation, he is no match for him.
Even someone as proud as him bowed his head at this moment.
"Your Majesty, I have offended you."
He didn't beg for mercy because he knew very well that those who were high above wouldn't care about the life or death of ants, and they certainly didn't like to obey the will of ants.
If he dares to beg for mercy, his chances of dying will only increase!
After a moment of silence—
"roll."
"Thank you for your mercy, Great Lord."
"All the gods and spirits praise your glory."
After several humble compliments, the young Taoist bowed before daring to leave, as if he dared not be in a hurry.
Only after confirming that the ruler would not go back on his word and chase after him did the young man breathe a sigh of relief; he had been emanating a chill from his entire body.
"Should we conceal part of the matter, or add some wording before reporting it?"
The young Taoist priest had this thought in mind, but he immediately shook his head and denied it.
The Reincarnation Demon God is not so easily fooled.
He is indeed ambitious, but he also knows how to restrain his cleverness.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have lived this long.
He might question whether the ruler is no longer what he used to be, or even worse, otherwise why would he forgive his sins after he had said something too offensive?
However, he would not risk being questioned.
The Highest Tower—
