116: A divine eye? A blind man? (Part 1)

In the starry sky, that terrifying aura, which surpassed the God King and the limits this world could bear, violently swept across the entire East Region.

Throughout the East Region, whether in Grotto-Heaven Blessed Lands, Ancient Clans, or even the supreme Holy Lands... countless old monsters in seclusion were startled awake, looking toward the source of the aura in horror.

Deep within several sparsely populated Forbidden Zones of Life in the East Region.

Immortal beings partially awakened their wills from an endless slumber.

"It's that old fogey... what is he going crazy for?"

An ancient thought echoed in the darkness, sounding somewhat puzzled.

"Forget it, let him be..."

"He probably has no confidence in living another life against the heavens... he's desperate..."

Another thought rang out, then returned to the silence of eternity.

These beings were too ancient, their Lifespans were running out, and they were unwilling to waste even a shred of power at this time... Outside the Secret Realm, the two God Realm battlefields also came to a simultaneous standstill for a moment because of the appearance of this aura.

The two God Kings and six Heavenly Gods who were besieging Quan Batian all had drastic changes in expression.

What kind of terrifying existence was this?

When did such a figure appear in the East Region?

Quan Batian's heart, however, suddenly twitched without warning.

An indescribable stabbing pain came from deep within his Bloodline, nearly driving him mad.

He felt that something incredibly important had left him forever.

He looked in the direction where the aura erupted; that was precisely the direction Quan Yun had fled.

"Yun'er..."

Quan Batian murmured, and for the first time, worry appeared in those peerless, domineering eyes.

"You must... absolutely not have anything happen to you!"

The next moment, this worry transformed into towering rage and killing intent.

He no longer held anything back, charging toward those Heavenly God Realm existences in an even more frenzied, life-risking manner.

He couldn't waste any more time here... In the Starry Sky Battlefield, the mysterious old man gradually calmed down.

His face no longer held its previous rage, replaced instead by deep confusion.

He knew very well what a supreme existence that Small Tower was; it was absolutely impossible for an ant to detonate it.

"Unless..."

Countless wild thoughts appeared in the old man's heart, but he rejected them one by one.

Those conjectures were too bizarre; even he felt they were unrealistic.

Ultimately, he could only give up.

He took one more deep look at that empty Void Realm, turned around, stepped out, and his figure vanished.

He wanted to return to that Forbidden Land and continue his slumber.

His Lifespan was running out.

"This tower... actually truly appeared in the world."

The last trace of the old man's thought before he disappeared echoed in the Void Realm.

"A Great Era is coming!"

"My chance to Live another life against the heavens has also come!"

...Endless darkness and silence.

Quan Yun's consciousness floated in this familiar void.

But this time, it was a bit different.

In the past, after he self-detonated, he would quickly be guided by that cold power into the Reincarnation Space.

But this time, he waited for a long time.

So long that he even began to doubt if he had truly suffered a Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering, losing even the chance for Reincarnation.

An invisible repulsive force was blocking his consciousness from the Reincarnation Space.

Just as a bit of anxiety rose in his heart, that repulsive force suddenly vanished.

A powerful suction force arrived, pulling his consciousness into a cold, mechanical world.

A familiar notification sound rang in his mind.

[Reincarnation Mark evaluation in progress...]

[In this life, your name was Quan Yun. You were born extraordinary, possessing the Divine-Grade Bloodline of the Quan Family from a Grotto-Heaven Blessed Land. However, because your mother risked her life to induce labor, you suffered from Innate deficiencies. You were also caught in the aftermath of a God Realm battle and nearly died. To save your life, your father, Quan Batian, struck a supreme treasure into your body, and from then on, your life was inextricably linked with this treasure. In your childhood in a mountain village, you met the Sword God Li Fentian and entered the Dao through a Million Punches, breaking the shackles of the Mortal Body. To save your loved ones, you resolutely embarked on the path of cultivation, but because of the treasure, you were forced into a Forbidden Land for thirty years. Thirty years later, you emerged with a staggering Opportunity, went on a killing spree in a Secret Realm, shaking the East Region and making enemies of the entire world. Finally, under the cover of your friends and family, although you fought hard and killed dozens of experts with the momentum of your Sword Dao, you still faced a certain-death situation. Unwilling to let the Opportunity fall into enemy hands, you resolutely chose to self-detonate. Your body died and your Dao vanished, and your cultivation Realm ultimately stopped at the Guiyi Realm.]

[Comprehensive Evaluation: Earth-Grade Nine-Star]

[Reincarnation Points Obtained: 19,000]

Quan Yun's consciousness listened quietly.

Earth-Grade Nine-Star.

Just one step away from Heaven-Grade.

He felt a bit of regret, but more than that, he felt a sense of relief.

This life had been too exhausting.

From birth, he carried the Karma of deep-seated blood feuds and a supreme treasure, fleeing and fighting the whole way.

He became a target for everyone, with hardly a single day of peace.

"Carrying a heavy treasure is indeed not a good thing."

"In the next life, I must be more steady and develop well."

He made a silent resolution in his heart.

Staying low and surviving is the kingly way.

"Add points."

With a thought, the familiar panel expanded before his eyes.

This time, he didn't hesitate at all.

[Aptitude: 6,000]

[family background: 2,000]

[Comprehension Ability: 7,000]

[Luck: 4,000]

The importance of Comprehension Ability was vividly demonstrated in his previous life.

The Origin of that Small Tower was absolutely terrifying to the extreme.

If he could have understood the mysteries of the Cultivation Technique within it earlier, even just a little, he wouldn't have ended up in such a state.

Aptitude and Luck were also the foundations of survival.

As for family background, after experiencing Quan Yun's life, he didn't value it as much anymore.

No matter how strong the family background, if one's own strength is insufficient, it's just a castle in the air.

Point allocation complete.

A dazzling light completely enveloped his consciousness.

A new Reincarnation began.

At the final moment before his consciousness completely dissipated and entered the Reincarnation vortex.

An ancient aura so familiar it made his Soul tremble suddenly enveloped him.

That aura was warm and heavy, having existed since time immemorial.

Quan Yun's consciousness shook violently.

He "saw" it.

Within the light of Reincarnation, a simple and unadorned Small Tower, dark all over and emitting a green Qi, was quietly floating beside his consciousness Origin.

It... actually entered Reincarnation along with him!

The long repulsion from the Reincarnation Space earlier finally had an answer.

It turned out that what it was repelling wasn't him, but this tower!

Quan Yun's heart was filled with immense shock.

The Small Tower had actually followed him into the Reincarnation Space... Not only that, it even followed him into the next life's Reincarnation!

"This..."
