162: Lord of Reincarnation: How come everyone possesses the power of death?

Even though Shen Pan hadn't turned on the speakerphone.

But everyone present was extraordinary; that sweet voice, both breathy and soft.

Was heard by them, word for word.

"Darling?" Ruan Qingshu's gaze sharpened.

"Can drink cold beverages... she can do it!" Jiang Ruolai mused.

Did she mistake the person? Was this one actually the new sister?

Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey! She didn't need a new sister!

"So Shen Pan, you like this type? Just an Otherworlder girl, I can transform into one too!!!"

This was the Moon Goddess, Xia Zhaoyue [Lust], who had been disrupted and backstabbed by her elder sister.

At this moment, she looked at Shen Pan's almost perfectly handsome face, her eyes filled with aggression.

She had accumulated far too much desire.

Her Main Body wouldn't let her release it, forcing her to hold it in.

If this continued, she worried she might explode one day!

"Uh, Shen Pan, you have other people there?

Ah! How embarrassing. See you this afternoon, bye-bye~"

After stirring up trouble, the Chaos-loving Senior Sister quickly ran off.

She had already heard the questioning coming from Seventh Sister in the chat group!!!

"..."

Seriously, Big Shot, did you specifically pop up just to watch the show?

A powerful unknown individual just appeared in the Imperial Capital!

Shen Pan felt like the sky was falling.

Especially the differing reactions and looks from the three women.

What Vampire Loli and Great Thunder Angel? He hadn't even heard of them!

How could Senior Sister Xia falsely accuse an innocent person!

If, when Ruan Qingshu's Incarnation summoned thunder, and when Jiang Ruolai appeared to threaten him.

He could still remain calm and composed.

But after the Chaos-loving Senior Sister made her move, everything spiraled out of control.

And here he was, still thinking about how to seize that Dual Cultivation Marvelous Technique from the person impersonating the Moon Goddess.

Shen Pan didn't have a great need for it.

He simply desired to experience its effects out of pure yearning for the great Dao of Yin and Yang!

Shen Pan lightly coughed, interrupting the standoff between the three women.

He hadn't met the Moon Goddess of Sakura.

Let alone this counterfeit Moon Goddess.

Although Senior Sister Xia loved to stir up trouble and watch the chaos.

She should still help him keep an eye on that unknown powerhouse.

Therefore, he could be a bit bolder!

Shen Pan's expression turned serious. Just as he reached out toward the Moon Goddess, intending to manipulate space to arrest her.

A young man, whose aura, in his perception, was only slightly weaker than Kujo Senko's before her deification.

Entered the Imperial Capital Academy and was rapidly moving toward them!

Trailing behind him was a large man with a leopard head, round eyes, an iron face, and a bushy beard, following unhurriedly.

Moreover, his clothing and appearance... clearly marked him as an Awakened from the deification system!

When Shen Pan recovered his senses and prepared to restrain the smiling Moon Goddess again.

He suddenly froze—his power to manipulate space was suppressed?

It was as if a spatial ability with a higher priority had erased his command!

But with his Mythical Grade perfect spatial affinity, who else on the entire Blue Star could be stronger than him?

"Wait, there might actually be one... no, eight of them!"

Combined with the Moon Goddess's extremely abnormal behavior, suggesting her identity had been replaced.

A bold conjecture formed in Shen Pan's mind.

Could this Moon Goddess be disguised by one of the Senior Sisters Xia he hadn't met yet???

Furthermore, this expression, demeanor, and the boldness of constantly suggesting Dual Cultivation.

The Seventh Sister [Lust] mentioned by Senior Sister Xiao San?

Should he expose her, or play along with her act?

"Forget it, I'll just humor Senior Sister [Lust]; I won't expose her."

Everyone knows the score, and exposing her would only make things more awkward!

Shen Pan silently abandoned the idea of immediately hanging her up, constructing a whip, and interrogating her.

He focused his perception on the unfamiliar young man approaching them.

Hoping the newcomer could break the deadlock between the four of them.

Finally, the icebreaker, on whom Shen Pan had placed great hopes, appeared.

"The internet says your combat power is comparable to a weak Epic, and that even Sakura's Sun Goddess was defeated by you."

"But! Shen Pan, I don't believe your strength is that great!"

A young man strode forward, wearing a Black Imperial Robe, likely a costume, that he had sourced from somewhere unknown.

And on his head, he wore a Pingtian Crown with twelve strands of white jade dangling from the brim.

"You mere mortals, come forth and pay respects."

"I am the Lord of Reincarnation!!!"

As the chuunibyou declaration ended.

The Moon Goddess [Lust], who was the first to recognize the newcomer, frowned slightly.

She remembered that this fellow, who had abandoned his real name and called himself the Lord of Reincarnation.

Was the first among those most severely affected by the Soul fragments within their bodies to reach the Legendary Rank.

And his combat power was one of the absolute strongest within the deification system!

He was only slightly weaker than Ruan Qingshu, the second strongest person on Blue Star.

However.

During the Late Stage of the Third Transcendence Awakening, when Blue Star faced both internal strife and external threats.

The Lord of Reincarnation chose not to fight for Blue Star and humanity.

Instead, he declared himself irrelevant to the current era and insisted on adhering to the principle of strict neutrality.

After conquering a territory occupied by the Desolate God Realm.

He immediately took his followers and subordinates and turned it into a self-proclaimed Forbidden Zone.

Occupying a large tract of land.

Yet, this surprisingly became one of the few areas on Blue Star at the time that was not invaded by the Otherworld!

It became a safe zone where many low-to-mid-tier Transcendent and ordinary people sought refuge!

Most of those people became his believers.

Regardless of his original intentions, the Forbidden Zone unexpectedly sheltered a large number of living beings!

Xia Zhaoyue felt conflicted; if it were her in the Late Stage of her previous life.

She definitely would have seized the opportunity to strike and kill him to eliminate future trouble, right?

"Lord... of Reincarnation?"

Ruan Qingshu didn't know why, but looking at the young man before her made her particularly displeased.

Especially his attire, which stirred a nameless fury within her.

She wanted to teach him a lesson.

If he called himself the Lord of Reincarnation, didn't that implicitly include her?

She could only accept being suppressed by Shen Pan!

My other self, get up and work!

Hurry up and bring out your hidden power, let the other mistresses see who the true Empress is!

[Underworld Emperor: ...]

[Underworld Emperor: This is the last time I'll help you. Don't bother me again.]

She was woken up by Ruan Qingshu just to sleep, only to make her Power of Death denser according to Shen Pan's instructions.

Now, she was waking Her up again just to show off—did she really think She had no temper?!

Not only did she withhold the body from Her, but she also wanted Her to exert power—she was a capitalist!

What if She wasted power by frequently waking up, leading to slower development? What would happen if they got killed later?

"President, why are you running so fast!

I told you that you definitely couldn't beat Shen Pan, but you insisted on being stubborn, and now you're rushing into the Imperial Capital Academy to cause trouble."

"Be careful the Martial Administration Bureau doesn't come looking for trouble. When they do, go in willingly and don't drag the rest of us down!"

The large man with the leopard head, round eyes, iron face, and bushy beard finally caught up, and his first words made everyone look sideways.

Was that persuasion or instigation!

The Lord of Reincarnation's face visibly darkened for a moment, highly dissatisfied with this subordinate who claimed to specialize in ghost catching.

It was fine to say it in private, but undermining his prestige in front of Shen Pan.

Was that what a qualified subordinate should do!

Besides, he still had a trump card he had never shown.

Even if Shen Pan could truly unleash weak Epic combat power, he definitely couldn't withstand his single strike that severs life and death!

This had nothing to do with the height of the Realm or the strength of power.

It was a gap in the essence of power and divine status!

"Hmph! You don't need to say more. We'll only know who is stronger after we fight!"

He was the Supreme Deity who controlled Death and commanded Reincarnation.

Shen Pan, a mere God of Space, wasn't even worthy of being compared to him—

Gray mist appeared out of thin air.

The concept that could kill everything descended.

"Hiss!" "Crack!"

Even this space and the ground groaned under the burden, affected by the Power of Death!

That was the pure intent of decay and termination—that was Death that could be called an Authority!

Ruan Qingshu's expression was cold, and her aura was profound.

In her dark eyes.

Reflected an imposing figure, also wearing a Black Imperial Robe and a Pingtian Crown!

"You, dare to falsely claim Reincarnation?"

A clear, serene, and ethereal voice echoed in everyone's ears.

This sight made the eyelids of the two Xia Zhaoyues in the Imperial Capital twitch.

Once tainted by this Power of Death... it could at least kill or severely injure an Epic without life-saving measures!

Just like Councilor Ruan in the previous life.

It was the natural bane of the vitality-rich martial arts system and most Otherworlders!

But wasn't she only Tier Five? Why was her Power of Death so terrifying?

Had Ruan Qingshu been Possessed by the consciousness of the Soul fragments inside her body?

"This, this feeling is, is..."

The Lord of Reincarnation stared dumbfounded at a loli who was only 1.5 meters tall.

Who had suddenly erupted with Power of Death that was purer and stronger than his own.

Moreover, facing this loli, a feeling of panic actually arose in his heart.

His teeth chattered uncontrollably, his legs went soft, and he almost knelt down in submission.

It was as if he had returned to the time before his Awakening, facing an unreasonable and overly aggressive superior!

What was wrong with him?

He didn't know why, but he felt that it was somehow natural for someone with such powerful Power of Death to be a loli!

If she wasn't a loli, he would be surprised!

Before the Lord of Reincarnation could ponder whether he was sick, an almost identical power erupted again.

"Boom!!!"

Immediately afterward, a clearly Epic-level pressure rose from Shen Pan.

The Authority of Death transformed into a pitch-black Emperor's Underworld Robe, automatically draping down from Shen Pan's back.

A phantom Emperor's Longsword quietly hovered beside Shen Pan.

Even though the Power of Death Shen Pan displayed wasn't as high in essence as the loli's.

It still touched the level of Authority, successfully making the Lord of Reincarnation begin to doubt his life.

Why did everyone he meet today possess the Power of Death?

Had the Authority he was so proud of become common trash at the Imperial Capital Academy?

Moreover, Shen Pan wasn't a loli, so why did he have such strong Power of Death!

This wasn't right!

Shen Pan lowered his gaze and chanted in an incomparably magnificent and solemn voice.

"If you meet the Emperor and do not bow, your true destiny is lost, and your name is inscribed upon the Reincarnation Stele!!!"
