【Reincarnation Ended.】

【This Reincarnation Rating: D+ (Without entering this gate, one is like a frog in a well gazing at the moon above; upon entering this gate, one is like a mayfly beholding the blue sky)】

【Accumulated Cultivation: Mid-stage Immortal Ascension Realm】

【Reincarnation Reward: Accumulated Cultivation Coefficient ×1.1】

【Reincarnation settlement complete. The host will return to the previous reincarnation record point, inherit this reincarnation's accumulated cultivation, and restart life.】

......

The final rating for this reincarnation was considerably lower than Chen Yan had originally expected.

He had thought that having unified the cultivation world of Chenping Continent, founded Du Cang Mountain while also cultivating three Immortal Ascension Realm cultivators for this domain heavens, and collected three of the four segments of the Sage of Imperial Void Bai Chen's cause and effect, his achievements and contributions were by no means negligible no matter how one looked at it.

But if the reincarnation rating was truly this low, there was also a possibility that the "path" he had chosen was wrong.

Yet in the very instant Chen Yan opened his eyes, he discovered that he was standing upon the Myriad Laws Platform, surrounded by pitch-black darkness on all sides.

Mr. You and the seven Immortal Ascension cultivators were all gathered around him.

And within the rift in the heavens above, the thunderfire radiance that Lou Ye had transformed into still left embers in the sight of the various Immortal Ascension cultivators.

So it was this moment?

If the "path" he had chosen was wrong, then the reincarnation record point absolutely should not be at this time.

Since it was this moment, then only two possibilities existed.

One was that the "path" he had chosen was actually correct; the other was that he was about to face yet another "dead save."

Could it be possible that if everything Chen Yan had done was correct, then all his efforts were only incomparably magnificent from his own perspective.

While from the standpoint of the reincarnation evaluation, they were utterly insignificant?

As for the other possibility of falling into a "dead save," Chen Yan did not give it much consideration.

Under the current circumstances, he had no more time to conduct a review and ponder.

Because the first Mystic Maiden Statue from within the spatial rifts was about to descend upon the world.

He had to react as quickly as possible.

Thinking this, Chen Yan immediately activated the Great Derivation Art, manifesting an External Incarnation of himself before him.

That External Incarnation, which looked completely identical to Chen Yan's true body, actually had fine black cracks gradually spreading through the air around it.

This was the strongest External Incarnation Chen Yan had ever derived to date.

While fully activating the Great Derivation Art, Chen Yan had even forcibly broken through the laws of heaven and earth, employing dao rhyme.

What he sought was for this External Incarnation of his to be able to use the Emptiness Annihilation Art in his absence from the Myriad Laws Platform, to drag things out for as long as possible, allowing him to project the past peak-period Sage of Imperial Void into the present era.

"True Person Chen?"

Beside him, Yin Xia cast her gaze toward Chen Yan's true body and his External Incarnation with utter bewilderment.

What drew the attention of this third-generation Ascended Steward of Wind Ravine Valley the most was naturally the fine black cracks spreading around Chen Yan's External Incarnation.

Forcibly activating dao rhyme?

But why?

Chen Yan paid no heed to Realman Shuangyu's and the other Immortal Ascension cultivators' confusion. With just a flicker of his form, he vanished from the Myriad Laws Platform.

In the instant before he disappeared, he and Mr. You shared an extremely brief moment of eye contact.

In that brief visual contact, Mr. You had clearly understood something.

He simply gave a slight nod in Chen Yan's direction.

In the very instant Chen Yan's form completely vanished from the Myriad Laws Platform, resplendent seven-colored golden light slowly emerged from the crack directly above Du Cang Mountain.

And accompanied by a bell toll that resounded across the heavens.

......

South Yu Lake Forbidden Zone, the cave beneath the lake.

Within a deep cavern over thirty-seven thousand zhang from the surface.

Atop the mountain of corpses, a youth dressed in cool white daoist robes was lying half-reclined in a languid posture.

Every time one witnessed someone able to lie so openly and casually half-reclined upon the remains of tens of thousands of ancient corpses from millions of years ago, a certain profoundly absurd sense of horror would arise in one's heart.

Chen Yan stepped slowly out from the shadows, and in the very instant Chen Yan emerged from the shadows, Bai Chen, positioned atop the mountain of corpses, also abruptly cast his gaze toward Chen Yan's direction.

"You brought my cause and effect."

The Sage of Imperial Void spoke:

"And your dao rhyme seems to have worn down considerably compared to our last meeting... What is the situation outside now?"

"It's come."

Chen Yan said.

"What has come?"

"The Mystic Maiden. Though there is only one at present, that will not remain so for long."

Chen Yan continued answering:

"Chenping Continent has reached its final moment. This domain heavens needs you, Sage Bai."

Hearing this, the Sage of Imperial Void merely looked down at Chen Yan below the mountain of corpses. At first he remained motionless, then suddenly revealed a smile as if mocking himself:

"Do you know, Chen Yan, this very scene before us, I already witnessed seven million years ago, the first time I saw you at the foot of Cangxuan Mountain, and in that instant when I sensed that you carried my cause and effect upon your body."

Bai Chen's words slightly surprised Chen Yan.

"Or rather, every arrangement I have made over the past seven million years was all for the present moment... to once again lose to a mere weapon beneath a Lord, and accompany all living beings of this world in burial for this domain heavens."

"Sage, do you mean to say that Chenping Continent is destined for destruction?"

Though Bai Chen's words had just shocked Chen Yan immensely, he nonetheless remained calm.

"In the future I have foreseen, it is indeed so. But the future I have foreseen is not necessarily the true ending of this domain heavens. Yet it seems I was unable to change anything."

Even the projection of Bai Chen at his peak period had absolutely no possibility of defeating the Mystic Maiden Statue.

Even knowing this fact, Chen Yan had still not fallen into despair.

"Perhaps there is another way."

Chen Yan said in a calm tone.

"Perhaps."

The Sage of Imperial Void seated atop the mountain of corpses tilted his head back slightly, then continued:

"Even if the current outcome was destined long ago, even if proceeding along the known trajectory will bring me humiliation... but fate absolutely cannot be defied. Begin."

Bai Chen appeared somewhat self-mocking.

Chen Yan below the mountain of corpses said nothing, merely slowly raising his right hand, palm facing upward.

A point of radiance was born above his palm, then transformed into ring after ring of ripples spreading in all directions. A bronze disc slowly manifested in Chen Yan's hand, the Heavenly Summit Mirror.
