Do you want to live?

Then be a good boy or I’ll have you die right now.

It was futile to speak of logic and reason with beings in the nothing. No reason or logic was more compelling than life and death for them. They listened only when their survival was threatened.

Immortal dao continued to grow stronger, sending out branches and firmly taking root in the nothing like a towering tree.

A strange existence took shape in the nihil, one that was completely removed from its surroundings. The smile playing at the corners of Lu Yun’s lips turned into a sneer as he looked at the massive shadow.

The clearer the will of the nothing became, the more it wanted to destroy all existence within the nothing. After it cleansed it of all life, it would self destruct and return the nothing to its core essence.

The cities of nothing also underwent transformations when nourished by immortal dao. Living beings that’d turned into ghostly zombies gradually returned to their core essence, becoming living beings again when irradiated with the power of heaven and earth contained in immortal dao. The bricks of the cities also began reverting back to real worlds!

The Darkness city lord was stunned. He had no idea what was going on, why life that had passed on would flourish again! He saw dead kin, friends that’d died, and everything he’d ever lost!

“What… what is this??” He stared at Lu Yun with incredulity.

“Reincarnation,” the young man responded calmly. “Everything reawakens under reincarnation.”

Reincarnation was a strength that should not exist, but the mistress, Dao King, and God had forcefully shaped it into being in the past, present, and future. It wasn’t until Mo Yi and the Dao King sent the little fox and Qing Yu to him through their deaths that Lu Yun understood the cause and effect of everything.

Reincarnation had never been under the control of one single person. Past, present, and future were all vital for it.

The little fox of the past built a karmic relationship with the mistress of the future—this was also a karmic tie of reincarnation. It enabled reincarnation to traverse past, present, and future, becoming a true whole.

Reincarnation was never about the birth, life, and death of living beings. It was the beginning and end of all things and the interchange of nothing and existence. That was the magnificent blueprint that the trio had conceived. It was also the power that could truly end the will of the nothing.

Thanks to it, Lu Yun set foot on a brand new path and controlled the nothing. It was precisely through reincarnation that he exercised control over it. Without reincarnation, he wouldn’t have been able to take that step forward even if he’d discovered the path.

Reincarnation was the conversion between nihil and existence; it granted him the ability to truly command the nothing.

……

“My city of nothing has returned to its origin and become a world again.” The Weilan city lord looked at the Darkness city lord next to her. “My cultivation has also returned to its peak, but I am still unable to withstand the tomb.”

Darkness sighed, “This Lu Yun has forced us into dire straits. This path will either lead to our final triumph or death. We will not be able to prolong our last gasps like we did before. Let’s hope it leads to life!”

Everything had drawn to a temporary close. The two returned to their cluster of former cities alongside the rest of their fellow city lords. They gathered together, in full combat readiness, to await their ancient enemy.

The cluster of cities had become a patch of real worlds. The worlds called to each other and showed signs of becoming an even greater world. Instead of joy, the new world lords felt deep fear and incredible uneasiness.

The ancient tomb wouldn’t permit a world like this to exist… Once the world formed, it would descend and kill everything.

“Don’t worry, everyone. Perhaps that Immortal Emperor really has a grand plan for the tomb,” Darkness sighed. “All we can do now is increase our strength so we can ensure our own safety!”

“Bad news, Darkness!” someone shouted with alarm.

“What is it?” His expression shifted and he hastily asked, “Is the tomb here already?”

“Not the ancient tomb, the Saviors!” came the urgent, fearful reply. “They’re mounting an attack!”

“What?!” Darkness frowned. “Why are the Saviors here?”

The strongest of the world lords were gathered in the heart of the cluster to discuss strategy for the impending encounter with the tomb. The weaker ones who’d always drifted around the perimeter were standing in as guards.

The world lords and Saviors had always been enemies. Other than the ancient tomb, their feud was the only conflict in the unbounded nothing. The former had been solidly stronger than the rootless Saviors in the past, but now they were all part of immortal dao and cultivated heaven and earth. With the power of heaven and earth taking root in the nothing, the Saviors had their foundations as well.

Therefore, they chose this timing to attack en masse.

“Let’s go!” Darkness and Weilan charged at the front, leading a group of their peers to meet the enemy.

……

“What do you mean by this, Panmeng?!” Darkness roared at the Saviors leader.

“What do I mean?” The sharp-eyed Panmeng wore long robes made from animal hide. His hair flowed down his shoulders in an unkempt mess and he wielded a greataxe in his hand. He sneered, “I mean to make you demons with blood on your hands to pay the price, of course!”

The city lords had killed countless beings in their quest to refine cities of nothing. They’d ground endless bodies into mud and melded them into bricks, refining them alive. Only a select few had the right to become ghost zombies in the tiny worlds. While they’d come back to life, plenty more were obliterated forever…

Hence, the Saviors were here for revenge.

Or really, they were here to seize the cluster of worlds that the cities of nothing had become. The cities could no longer fight for the former city lords now that they’d become worlds again. Hence, they were resources free for the taking.

“Is this really the appropriate time?” Darkness forced out through clenched teeth. “The ancient tomb is about to go on a rampage. We should unite together to withstand it! Setting ourselves at each other’s throats and depleting our strength is the last thing we should do!

“We can settle any grudges or scores we have after we take care of the ancient tomb!” Darkness looked frostily at Panmeng.

The latter wouldn’t dare show himself in front of the Darkness city lord in the past. But now, Panmeng was likely to be on par with Darkness.

“I’m afraid… that a group of demons like you will stab us in the back when we fight the ancient tomb,” Panmeng sneered. “So it’s better to annihilate you first and avoid later troubles!”

“Kill!!” Numerous Saviors charged with overwhelming fury.
