110: Chapter 110 The Star Gate Opens, Myriad Realms Reincarnate
That speck of pale golden light was Lin Ye's final existence.
His consciousness seemed to be drowning in an boundless sea of Chaos stars, without form or weight, possessing only a faint obsession with being a "Guardian," like a candle in the wind, maintaining the final cognition of his "self."
He could not "see" or "hear," but could only "feel" the endless, slowly rotating starlight of Chaos surrounding him, as well as the phantom of the towering, ancient "Reincarnation Hall" ahead, which exuded an indescribable pressure.
Above the "hall gate," the two characters for "Star Gate," like two burning stars containing the mysteries of the heavens, were deeply branded into his only remaining consciousness.
A throb from the depths of his Soul and... an inexplicable sense of familiarity surged like a tide, yet remained blurred and unclear.
Was this the destination pointed to by the "Ancient Ring" Ancient Ring? Was it the place of the "Venerable Star-Fall"'s Legacy? Or... the key related to the mystery of his own Transmigration?
The speck of light flickered slightly, wanting to approach, but felt an invisible, grand force of repulsion.
This "Reincarnation Hall," or rather, this "Star Gate," seemed to have extremely high entry standards.
His remnant consciousness and obsession were too weak, not even counting as "the key"; at most, it was a wisp of "aura" related to "the key" that was about to dissipate completely.
Was he going to fail? In the end, he still couldn't...
Just at the moment when this wisp of consciousness was about to disintegrate completely due to the repulsion, merging into the surrounding sea of Chaos stars and becoming an insignificant speck of dust in this "Reincarnation" Universe—a sudden change occurred!
The illusory "Reincarnation Hall," which had been quietly floating in the center of this sea of Chaos stars as the manifestation of the core will of the "reincarnation seal," suddenly vibrated slightly.
Immediately after, above the hall gate, at the center of the "Star Gate" pattern, a pale golden starlight—homologous to Lin Ye's consciousness speck, even weaker but more ancient and pure—suddenly lit up!
This starlight resonated strongly with Lin Ye's consciousness speck!
At the same time, the originally calm sea of Chaos stars saw countless "stars" begin to accelerate their rotation, birth, and death, as if calculating and deducing some extremely complex "Karma" and "variables."
Eventually, all the starlight flows vaguely pointed to Lin Ye's wisp of consciousness, and even more so to the depths of his consciousness, to the phantom of the "Ancient Ring" Ancient Ring—which had long disappeared during the sacrifice but was now captured as a trace of "imprint" by the Law of the "Reincarnation Hall" due to the resonance!
No, not just the "Ancient Ring" Ancient Ring.
There was another one, obtained from the Nether Ravine, the phantom of the "bone ring" bone ring that seemed related to the Profound Yin Water Vein, which also appeared vaguely.
The phantoms of the two rings, one on the left and one on the right, surrounded Lin Ye's wisp of consciousness, rotating slowly and emitting a faint yet unique fluctuation.
"Detected... 'Venerable Star-Fall' token... 'bone ring' token... Dual authentication..."
"Detected... 'Gatekeeper' candidate final sacrifice... complying with 'Star Gate' emergency reception protocol... minimum threshold..."
"Detected... sacrificer's consciousness remnant... Guardian obsession Rank: High... complies with the basic conditions for 'Star Gate' Legacy screening..."
"Comprehensive judgment: Can initiate 'Star Gate' minimum authority reception procedure. Target: consciousness fragment recovery, to be put into the 'Reincarnation Pool of Ten Thousand Worlds' for basic repair and reshaping evaluation. Execute?"
A grand, cold, genderless voice, seemingly woven from countless Laws, resounded directly in the core of Lin Ye's consciousness, which was about to dissipate.
This voice was somewhat similar to the "Spirit of Reincarnation," but more ancient and more Origin-based, as if representing some ultimate mechanism deep within the "reincarnation seal" that was directly related to the "Star Gate" and transcended a single world.
Reincarnation Pool of Ten Thousand Worlds? Consciousness recovery? Reshaping evaluation?
Lin Ye's remnant consciousness could not understand the terrifying meanings behind these words, but he captured "repair," "reshaping," and a glimmer of... life within that cold mechanism?
Without any hesitation, and unable to even "think," relying solely on the instinct to survive and complete his unfinished duties, this consciousness speck transmitted the faintest fluctuation of agreement.
"Command received. Initiating reception."
Hum—!!!
The tightly closed gate of the "Reincarnation Hall," engraved with the "Star Gate" pattern, saw the pale golden starlight at its center suddenly shine brightly, transforming into a small, rotating vortex channel that seemed to be composed of countless stars, instantly swallowing Lin Ye's consciousness speck along with the faint phantoms of the two rings!
The world was spinning! No, it was a feeling more indescribable than the world spinning!
It was as if he was traversing endless dimensions, passing by the "reflections" of countless worlds—some birthing or dying, some prosperous or desolate. Time and space lost their meaning; only the strange, pale golden, warm yet cold energy flowing within the vortex channel, containing the Origin of "Creation" and "Destruction," "Birth" and "End," constantly washed over, nourished, and enveloped Lin Ye's consciousness, which was about to dissipate.
Enveloped by this energy, his extremely weak consciousness actually stopped dissipating. Instead, like parched land meeting sweet rain, it began to slowly and greedily absorb this energy, bit by bit, becoming solid and clear once again.
Although still weak, it was no longer a candle flame about to extinguish at any moment, but rather a battered seed placed in a warm bed.
He did not know how long he had been "falling"; perhaps it was an instant, perhaps an eternity.
Ahead, a "sea" appeared, whose vastness and splendor could not be described in any language.
It was a vast sea composed of countless colors, countless forms, and countless "water droplets" containing the Origin Law aura of different worlds—liquid, light-like, or indeterminate between reality and illusion!
Each drop of "water" was like a miniature "world" or "fragment of fate" containing infinite possibilities!
They were independent of each other, yet vaguely connected, slowly flowing, merging, separating, birthing, and annihilating under the push of a grand Law...
This place was the "Reincarnation Pool of Ten Thousand Worlds"!
Lin Ye's consciousness speck, along with the two ring phantoms, was gently "spat out" by the star vortex channel and cast onto the edge of this vast, boundless "pool water."
Once it entered the "pool water," the pale golden warm energy enveloping him did not disappear; instead, it combined with a certain Origin power in the "pool water" that was more gentle and inclined toward "gestation" and "repair," forming a pale golden cocoon of light that completely wrapped and protected his consciousness core, slowly sinking into a relatively calm area deep within the "pool water."
"Detected that the target consciousness fragment has entered the 'Reincarnation Pool of Ten Thousand Worlds' safe zone. Starting basic repair procedure..."
"Calling 'Star Gate' reserve Origin... calling 'Reincarnation Pool' gestation power... calling 'Guardian' obsession as core template..."
"Estimated repair time: Unknown (depending on the strength of the obsession and the compatibility with the Origin)..."
"Starting scan for available 'reshaping' coordinates..."
"Scan complete. Three 'New Life/Rebirth' nodes with low threat, relatively stable current space-time status, and high compatibility with 'Guardian' obsession, 'Venerable Star-Fall', 'bone ring' token residual fluctuations, and 'Reincarnation' have been filtered out."
The star map projections of the three arrival coordinates appeared clearly in his consciousness, and the cold voice gave the choices:
[Please select the reshaping arrival coordinate]
A. An ancient cultivation world where the Dao of Immortality is prosperous, Sects are numerous, but demons are hidden and undercurrents are surging. The Laws here are relatively complete, Spiritual Qi is abundant, and it is suitable for the development of the 'Guardian' Dao Heart and power growth, but the competition is extremely fierce, crises are everywhere, and there are certain differences from your original world Laws, making adaptation in the Early Stage difficult.
B. A fantasy continent where magic and battle qi are glorious, legends of Dragons and deities circulate, and multiple races coexist. The power system here is very different, but the 'Guardian' belief can still apply. Opportunities and dangers coexist, and it is easier to come into contact with different Origin Laws, which may be beneficial for understanding 'Reincarnation' and 'Ten Thousand Worlds.' However, the worldview difference is huge, and there is a risk of cognitive subversion.
C. A vast starry Universe with highly developed technology, in the era of interstellar colonization, where humans come into contact with, confront, and coexist with alien civilizations. Physical Laws dominate here, individual extraordinary power is limited, but the 'Guardian' belief can be entrusted to civilization and ethnic groups. Opportunities lie in the vast starry sky and unknown technology; dangers stem from Universe-scale disasters and civilizational conflicts, with extremely high requirements for consciousness resilience.
"Note: The selection is only for the initial 'arrival point' and 'identity carrier' tendency. During the reshaping process, your existing consciousness core (memories, emotions, obsession, partial insights) will be preserved to the greatest extent. However, affected by the new world's Laws, carrier status, and repair degree, situations such as memory blurring, power reset, and identity Fusion may occur. This is the norm of 'Reincarnation,' and also the beginning of a new 'life.'"
