Chapter 227: Reincarnation Appears, Netherworld Emerges
For Lilia, was this a choice?
Failing to enter the Dao and suffering a Dao injury meant she could never enter the Dao again in her life, only cultivate her body. For Lilia, who wanted to prove herself in the Starry Sky Universe, this was worse than death.
However, by fusing the powers of the laws of Death, Life, and Water to create a new Dao, the power of this Dao would absolutely surpass the individual Daos of Death, Life, and Water.
It could be said that if she succeeded, Lilia would be equivalent to a triple-element soul mutant in the Magic Universe, within the Starry Sky Universe.
But, since it was a "Dao," the most important thing, naturally, was the "Dao" itself.
Without a suitable "Dao" to lead these three elemental laws, even if Lilia truly succeeded in fusing them, the resulting law power would only run wild, destroying her body, causing her to die and vanish with the Dao.
Lilia spent these decades first cultivating the Water Element, but Palhouse proved the Dao before her.
She then switched to cultivating Death, and not long after, Dannington proved the Dao.
Later, she cultivated the Life Element, but she refrained from proving the Dao because she didn't want to compete with her good sister, Vivian.
In fact, Lilia didn't know that Vivian also didn't want to compete with her. On the foundation of the Law of Life, Vivian had created the Dao of "Creation."
If Lilia had known earlier that Vivian hadn't entered the Dao through the Law of Life, she might have already proven the Dao and become an Emperor, obtaining the Dao Fruit of Life.
But, in the give and take of life, no one could say for sure whether it was a blessing or a curse.
A pained expression appeared on Lilia's face.
If Lilia's physical cultivation hadn't been strong, her body would likely have been torn apart by the three law powers at the first moment.
Even so, it caused Lilia considerable damage.
As the conflict between the three elemental laws intensified, their power exceeded Lilia's body's tolerance limit, and wounds began to appear on her body.
At this time, Lilia still refused to give up.
Even if she had to die, she would die on the path of seeking the Dao!
"Sis, Sister..."
Just as Lilia was preparing to hold on to the death, a weak voice reached her ears.
This cry of "Sister" awakened Lilia from her obsession with cultivation.
With great difficulty, Lilia opened her eyes and saw Xiaozhu's worried gaze, which made her heart tremble.
At the brink of death, Xiaozhu's greatest concern was actually herself?
In an instant, the scenes of Lilia and Xiaozhu living together over the years flashed through Lilia's mind, causing Lilia's "humanity" to overwhelm the "divinity" of her previous thousand-plus memory cycles.
Learning human life skills from Xiaozhu's mother, after Xiaozhu's mother died, she taught Xiaozhu everything she had learned from her.
As she grew older, she learned other experiences from the villagers, and after the elders passed away, she passed on these experiences to other villagers.
All of this seemed like a cycle.
In an instant, the true meanings of the three laws of Death, Life, and Water appeared in Lilia's mind in turn.
The Undead Realm, the least valued by Lilia in the Netherworld of the Magic Universe, appeared in her mind.
After beings below the God level died, their souls would enter the Undead Realm. If they had the chance to achieve God Realm, they would regain their memories and live a second life.
At the same time, Lilia's words just now gave her some enlightenment.
In this instant, the insights that Lilia had missed before were instantly integrated, and Lilia comprehended and created her own unique "Dao."
In the face of this powerful "Dao," the three law powers within Lilia's body, which had been in turmoil, instantly calmed down.
Not only that, but in the face of this powerful "Dao," the three law powers of Life, Death, and Water rotated, with the Water Element connecting to the Life Element on one end and the Death Element on the other.
The powers of Life and Death, connected by Water, rotated like a Tai Chi diagram, making the Water Element connect head to tail, and the powers of Life and Death revolved endlessly!
"Boom!"
A powerful pressure spread out from Lilia's center.
"Roar, roar, roar..."
At this moment, all the ferocious beasts that sensed Lilia's aura trembled and lowered their bodies.
Even the Emperor-level ferocious beasts, whose bodies exceeded three thousand meters, curled up their bodies and, driven by instinct, prostrated themselves on the ground.
"Rumble!"
Endless dark clouds churned above Little Creek Village, and thunderous roars echoed through the heavens and earth.
Lightning bolts crisscrossed within the dark clouds.
Lilia stood up from the ground, her blood-red hair fluttering behind her as if blown by the wind.
At this moment, Lilia had recovered her original appearance. She reached out and gently collected Xiaozhu's soul, then walked out of Xiaozhu's house. Under the shocked gazes of Xiaozhu's children and grandchildren, she transformed into a purple rainbow and flew towards the sky.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Lightning bolts struck down from the swirling dark clouds, but these lightning bolts, upon hitting Lilia, only produced a few sparks of light and couldn't harm her in the slightest.
The power derived from the fusion of the three elemental laws, which Lilia named "Power of Reincarnation," was a hundred times stronger than the power of a single elemental law.
At this moment, Lilia's "Reincarnation Body," forged by the power of reincarnation, could be called the foremost divine body in the Starry Sky Universe.
The lightning from this Three-Nine Heavenly Tribulation couldn't even tickle Lilia's "Reincarnation Body."
After the twenty-seven bolts of Three-Nine lightning, the pale purple Six-Nine lightning, save for the final few strikes which left Lilia with minor abrasions, had no further effect.
As Lilia integrated her "Reincarnation Law" into the "Heavenly Dao," celestial music resounded in the hearts of all beings in the Starry Sky Universe, with heavenly flowers raining down and golden lotuses springing from the earth.
All beings could feel the joy of the Starry Sky Universe.
Simultaneously, a vague concept formed in the minds of all beings.
Death was not the end; souls could enter the Underworld and live another life.
...
On Earth Kui Star, Roy was deepening his understanding of the Law of Fire when he was suddenly awakened by information transmitted by the "Heavenly Dao."
"I never expected her to actually succeed in creating the Dao of Reincarnation within the Starry Sky Universe."
It had to be said that Lilia had given Roy a huge surprise.
"The Three Realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man—currently, there aren't even Immortals, and the Heavenly Realm has yet to be established."
"But now that the Dao of Reincarnation exists, the Netherworld should also appear."
"This is for the best. Although these ferocious beasts were created by me to pressure humanity, they are also my children. Once they die, their karma will dissipate, and their souls will re-enter the cycle of reincarnation."
With that, Roy's soul instantly merged with the Heavenly Dao, gaining control over everything in the Starry Sky Universe.
"Whoosh..."
The River of Time and Space manifested.
At this moment, within the River of Time and Space, a projection of another Starry Sky Universe appeared.
However, within this projection of a Starry Sky Universe, there was only emptiness.
With a thought, Roy guided Lilia's soul into this projected world after she had Proved the Dao and become an Empress.
Instantly, this void-like projected world began to evolve under Lilia's influence.
Netherworld Mountain, Netherworld Lord God's Palace.
Eighty-one Underworlds and eighty-one Nine Nether Islands, in addition to these most important locations, and the vast Undead Realm.
A long, purple river transformed into the Nether Sea, covering seven massive teleportation arrays.
This purple Nether Sea connected life and death.
If souls from the Infernal Realm wished to reincarnate, they had to enter the Nether Sea, have their memories washed away, shed their death aura, and become pure new souls to be reincarnated through the teleportation arrays.
All souls that underwent the cleansing of the Nether Sea had their past karma dispersed, having no connection to their future lives.
...
In a simple palace, Off opened his eyes. Countless threads of karma flickered within his gaze. A small white rabbit contentedly nibbled on tender green grass behind him.
"Complete..."
For many years, Off's understanding of the "Dao of Karma" had reached a bottleneck, but just now, that sliver of a bottleneck had vanished instantly.
"So that's how it is. Was this the missing piece?"
In the Starry Sky Universe, all things possessed a thread of life.
But before reincarnation appeared, many beings, until their deaths, had never triggered this "thread of life."
Now that reincarnation had appeared, their thread of life had transferred to the Netherworld.
Thus, all things in heaven and earth had uncertain destinies, and all things possessed a thread of life.
For example, the people on this planet now had their thread of life within themselves.
And they had indeed seized this thread of life, currently launching a counterattack against the ferocious beasts!
...
Sitting on her familiar throne, Lilia felt a pang of nostalgia.
Even Lilia herself couldn't have imagined that after only fifty-odd years away from the Magic Universe, it felt like more than a thousand epochs had passed.
However...
A proud smile played on Lilia's lips.
As expected, she was the strongest!
What about the Life Element, Death Element, Water Element? These common laws, how could they be worthy of her?
Only the strongest Reincarnation Law was worthy of the peerless her!
But then, the smile on Lilia's face subsided.
Although the Reincarnation Law was powerful, with Lilia obtaining the Dao Fruit, her strength was a hundred times greater than Emperor-level experts who also possessed Dao Fruits.
Ordinary Emperor-level experts were no match for Lilia; only Quasi Heavenly Emperors could suppress her.
However, for the Reincarnation Law to progress was also extremely difficult.
This requires Lilia to comprehend the Laws of Life, Death, and the Water Element to a certain degree.
Otherwise, if the comprehension of even one of these laws falls short, the Law of Reincarnation cannot be promoted.
Of course, because it encompasses these three laws, the Law of Reincarnation naturally possesses an inherent suppression over them.
After releasing Xiao Zhu's soul and seeing Lilia's current state, Xiao Zhu, though surprised, quickly accepted Lilia's transformation.
Unfortunately, the Underworld was only projected by Roy from the River of Time and Space after Lilia created the Dao of Reincarnation. Before that, the souls of deceased beings had already dissipated.
After comforting the saddened Xiao Zhu, Lilia allowed Xiao Zhu to reside in her palace, and her own soul instantly withdrew from the Netherworld.
