201: Chapter 201 The Sacred Body of Reincarnation, A Glance Leads to Immortality
The golden talisman, containing the supreme Reincarnation Law, merged into the center of Li Lunhui's brows.
The world fell silent in an instant.
A profound aura erupted from the swaddling clothes.
This aura was neither violent nor overbearing.
It was not like Sun Wukong's Battle Intent that sought to shatter all things, nor was it like Li Changsheng's Sword Intent that sought to sever everything.
It was gentle, ancient, and vast, as if it contained all the mysteries of the Universe's birth and end.
Before this aura, time lost its meaning, and space became blurred. Deep within everyone's Divine Soul, they seemed to hear the whispers of ancient deities and see the magnificent scene of all living beings rising and falling, living and dying, in six different worlds.
Life and death, beginning and end, sin and punishment, and good and Karma... all contradictory yet unified concepts merged perfectly within this aura, forming a supreme Dao that transcended all Laws.
"What... power is this?"
Even though Sun Wukong was at the Peak of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm and possessed a stone heart that was indestructible, he felt his mind tremble violently at this moment. He seemed to see billions of different possibilities for himself—leaping out of the Immortal Stone, causing havoc in the Heavenly Palace, being pressed under the Five Fingers Mountain, journeying to the West for the scriptures, and finally attaining Buddhahood—each one incredibly vivid.
Li Changsheng's fingers gripping his sword loosened slightly. His unstoppable Sword Intent seemed like a child's toy before this aura. He could sever tangible objects and sever Laws, but he could not sever this ubiquitous Karma and Reincarnation.
The millions of Heavenly Court soldiers on the deck were collectively stunned.
The resentful demonic sounds in their Sea of Consciousness, which had been roaring madly and attempting to pollute their minds, melted away without a trace the instant they touched this aura, just like snow meeting the scorching sun.
Everyone's gaze subconsciously converged on that small swaddle.
They saw the infant who had been sleeping, Li Lunhui, slowly open his eyes.
Those pupils were as deep as the end of the Universe. In his left eye, the light and shadows of three worlds—the deva realm, the human realm, and the Asura—slowly flowed, with celestial music drifting, the Mortal World churning, and endless slaughter.
In his right eye, the light and shadows of three worlds—the animal path, the hungry ghost path, and the hell path—were also rising and falling, with ten thousand beasts stampeding, corpses littering the fields, and mountains of blades and pots of boiling oil.
The Six Paths of Reincarnation manifested vividly in his eyes, forming a perfect and cold closed loop.
There was not a shred of emotion in his eyes, only a supreme Heavenly Dao Law that disregarded everything, running its course.
He woke up so unconsciously, his little head tilted slightly, and his gaze happened to pierce through layers of the Void Realm, landing on that hideous and terrifying ghost ship ahead.
With one glance.
"Roar—!"
Captain Skeleton, who was commanding his subordinate vengeful spirits to charge madly, felt his eye sockets, which were burning with scarlet Soul fire, suddenly meet Li Lunhui's gaze.
His roar, condensed from eternal resentment and capable of making a Grand Unity Golden Immortal lose their composure, stopped abruptly.
The scarlet Soul fire in his eyes flickered violently a few times, and the monstrous, violent hatred rapidly faded, replaced by an unprecedented bewilderment, which then turned into extreme pain and regret.
Deep within the Soul fire, fragmented memories began to emerge.
He seemed to see himself in his previous life, still that high-spirited fleet admiral of the Myriad Immortal Alliance, leading his comrades-in-arms, fighting a bloody battle against an endless army of darkness to protect the Immortal Domain behind them.
He saw the warships being sunk and his comrades turning into fly ash one by one beside him.
He saw himself bleeding his last drop of blood, his Divine Soul filled with resentment and unwillingness, eventually merging with the countless dead Souls of this battlefield, becoming the monster that only knew how to slaughter before him.
"Who... am I?"
Captain Skeleton emitted his first, and also his last, clear Divine Thought fluctuation.
He looked down at his ugly body made of countless bones, and then looked at those vengeful spirit sailors who were also frozen in the air, the Soul fire burning in their eyes turning from ghostly green to clear.
"We... are going home."
His Divine Thought carried a trace of relieved laughter.
With Captain Skeleton at the lead, the entire gargantuan ghost ship, along with the tens of thousands of vengeful spirit sailors on board, all stopped attacking.
They were no longer hideous, no longer roaring.
All the skeletons, at this moment, turned towards the small infant on the zhou tian star boat, and then, slowly bowed their skeletal bodies.
It was not submission.
It was a... gratitude and salutation that had been delayed for eons.
In everyone's shocked gaze, the Grand Unity Golden Immortal-level Captain Skeleton's dark golden bones began to dissolve inch by inch from his fingertips, turning into pure golden light spots filling the sky.
There was no screaming, no struggling; his twisted face instead bore an expression of serene and relieved smiling.
Following closely, the tens of thousands of vengeful spirit sailors behind him, and even the terrifying ghost ship composed of billions of bones, were like a burning painting, turning into billions of light spots from start to finish, silently drifting and scattering.
This Forgotten Route, which had been cursed for endless years, seemed to be experiencing a vast rain of golden light.
The resentment and Death Qi that had entrenched themselves here, enough to drive a Grand Unity Golden Immortal mad, were completely cleansed away.
Those dead Souls that had once attacked the Heavenly Court soldiers madly now turned into the purest Soul Origin, circling and dancing in the Void Realm, as if bidding a final farewell to the Dominator who had liberated them.
Then, all the light spots headed towards the end of the Void Realm, towards that place of Reincarnation that existed in the ethereal unknown.
One glance, rebirth.
The entire process was terrifyingly quiet.
On the deck of the zhou tian star boat, there was dead silence.
Millions of Heavenly Court soldiers all stared dumbfounded at this miraculous scene, their minds blank.
The terrifying ghost ship that had left them helpless just a moment ago, which even their military formations could barely withstand, that Grand Unity Golden Immortal-level Captain Skeleton, those tens of thousands of ferocious vengeful spirit armies...
Just like that... gone?
By the Twelfth Highness, a baby still in swaddling clothes, just taking one look, and they willingly turned into rain of light and dissipated?
This... what kind of outrageous Divine Ability is this?!
"Goodness gracious..."
The ruyi jingu bang that Sun Wukong was carrying on his shoulder dropped onto the deck with a 'clang', but he was completely unaware.
His pair of Fiery Golden Eyes were wide open, his mouth was open wide enough to fit a Flat Peach, and his monkey face was filled with disbelief.
"This... this is... over?"
He rubbed his eyes to make sure he hadn't seen wrong.
There were no earth-shattering explosions, no world-destroying cudgel shadows, not even a single sound. The enemy that had been so arrogant just a moment ago just lined up and walked into Reincarnation on their own?
Is this what they call "What are you looking at? What about it? Oh, nothing, I'm going to be reincarnated first, please go ahead"?
Sun Wukong felt his worldview receive an unprecedented shock.
His battle philosophy of "there is nothing that cannot be solved with one cudgel; if there is, then use two" seemed so pale and... crude at this moment.
On the other side, Li Changsheng slowly pushed his wooden sword, which had been unsheathed by an inch, back into its scabbard.
He looked at his twelfth younger brother, who had yawned and seemed ready to go back to sleep, and his eyes, which were usually as calm as an ancient well, revealed a trace of solemnity for the first time.
He saw deeper.
This was not simple purification; this was an absolute rule originating from the Dao Origin, something that even Will Manifests as Law could not compare to!
Before Reincarnation, all resentment and all attachments were illusions.
His sword could kill enemies.
But his twelfth younger brother could erase enemies from the level of existence, or rather... redefine them.
This was no longer a battle, but a judgment.
Li Xuan slowly walked over to the two top combatants who had been greatly impacted, patted Sun Wukong on the shoulder, and wore a knowing smile on his face.
"Do you understand now?"
His voice was not loud, but it clearly reached the ears of every core member present.
"In the Boundary Sea, there are far more strange things than common sense. Not all enemies need to be solved with fists and swords."
He glanced at Li Changsheng, who was lost in thought, then at Sun Wukong, who was doubting his life, and finally, his gaze fell upon Li Lunhui, who had fallen back asleep and was even smacking his lips and drooling slightly, his eyes filled with a father's pride.
"My Heavenly Court is full of talent."
"Different children naturally have different uses."
Above this Void Realm that had just been cleansed, the endless darkness was suddenly torn open.
A thick beam of nine-colored golden Karma light, like a pillar of heaven, descended with a roar from the infinitely high and distant Heavenly Dao Origin, passing through layers of space-time, and precisely enveloped the deck of the zhou tian star boat.
And at the core of the golden light was none other than the infant who had just completed a monumental transcendence and was currently blowing bubbles in his sweet slumber—Li Lunhui.
