Liu Zhaodi quickly engaged the Yaksha sea monsters in battle, and it was a one-sided, overwhelming fight. However, she was aware of the situation and did not engage in slaughter near the Samsara. Instead, she used the unique attributes of her Supreme Dual Souls to control the sea monsters and keep them away from the area, creating the best environment for Jiang Yuan's salvation.

With Liu Zhaodi's addition, Jiang Yuan's range and speed of salvation were greatly improved. In his eyes, there was no longer the cold seawater, but vivid lives. They had once calmly faced death for Haicheng, and they had sunk into the dark sea to protect their loved ones. Now they were left with only resentment. He had to take them home.

"The Six Paths of Reincarnation—The Eternity of the Gods."

Jiang Yuan once again entered into a state of eternal enlightenment. He began to understand the eternity of the gods and applied it to reincarnation. The effect of this action was enormous. The resentment quickly found its home and entered the cycle of reincarnation one after another, soon settling down.

The number of Dead Marks increases rapidly. Although it takes seven or eight resentments to retain one Dead Mark, the total number is still terrifying compared to the countless humans who have perished here.

10,000

100,000

million

The number of Dead Marks is increasing at a visible rate. Although Jiang Yuan has tens of millions of Dead Marks on him, it is far from enough. If Nancheng wants to be reborn from death, the price to pay will be a hundred times greater.

During the ritual of deliverance, those resentful spirits continuously imbued Jiang Yuan with their last obsessions from their previous lives.

"Protect Haicheng!"

These four simple words repeated countless times in Jiang Yuan's mind, even giving him, who wasn't from Haicheng, the illusion that he was.

Besides the resentment left behind by the Chinese race, Jiang Yuan encountered his first troublesome resentment, which came from the merfolk.

The merfolk were clearly not from the final battlefield. They were from the battlefield of the Fallen Gods, or even the battlefield of the Conferred Gods, the Cretaceous battlefield, or even more ancient battlefields. Therefore, it is difficult for them to retain the mark of the dead under their resentment, which means that there is no value in performing a ritual to help them pass on.

But the meaning of reincarnation is not just the mark of the dead. It cannot be said that there is no meaning without the mark of the dead. Life and death both have their own meaning. Just like the mermaids, they suffered great losses to protect the balance between the sea and the land. They are the last defenders of the lifeline between the sea and the land. They should die a worthy death.

"Mermaid God, if you are willing to enter my cycle of reincarnation, then answer the call of Death!"

Jiang Yuan erected his Eternal Dharma Form, and a black-robed Grim Reaper holding the Book of Life and Death appeared on the endless sea. He lowered his eyelids and looked at the calm sea, the two currents of life and death flowing in his eyes, and the profound meaning of reincarnation began to permeate the entire sea area.

Welcoming the soul of a deity will open up a higher realm of reincarnation.

Jiang Yuan was waiting. He wasn't sure if the merfolk god who built the lifeline between land and sea would leave behind any spirits, nor was he sure if the other party was willing to enter his cycle of reincarnation. But whether it was to repay the other party or to perfect his own reincarnation, he needed to wait.

However, the sight of Death standing on the sea had already caused a sensation. People in the sea city craned their necks to watch as they saw the eternal Dharma image that transcended life and death and stood on the sea.

On the entire battlefield, there is only one person who possesses such a massive Dharma Aspect and controls life and death—Jiang Yuan!

"He's come to Haicheng!"

These five words spread rapidly throughout Haicheng. Some were overjoyed, some were afraid, but most felt admiration. Most of the humans were ordinary Spirit Realm cultivators, unable to fathom Jiang Yuan's level, and naturally had no desire for the exclusive divine position obtained by killing him. They were more grateful to this man for single-handedly slaying the alien race and restoring peace to Lizhou, China. Such a person was the one who could support the crumbling sky of the human race.

Meanwhile, in a corner of Haicheng, criticisms of Jiang Yuan also emerged.

"That bastard's here, should we make a move?"

"They humiliated our black market last time, we won't let them get away with it this time!"

"This guy isn't as strong as I thought. He's just relying on the power of his brothers and women. Otherwise, as a mere Profound God Realm cultivator, he wouldn't have the ability to compete with a Transformation God Realm cultivator from another race!"

"Yes, neither the Beastmen nor the Chaoyuan Chamber of Commerce can extend their influence to this area right now, and the Divine Emperor Family and other sects will not interfere with the internal strife among the human race, so this is the best time for us to make our move!"

"In that case, let's summon the Five Ghosts and take his life!"

...

The once calm sea was now rippling with waves. A figure stood opposite the Eternal Dharma Image. It was a very gentle mermaid, with a seven-colored fish scale between her brows that reflected beautiful colors in the sunlight.

"Would you be willing to protect my lifeline on land and sea?"

It's a sentence without much emotional investment, but it's a dialogue that transcends time.

"I..." Jiang Yuan fell silent. If it were up to him, he would definitely invade the sea once he became powerful; this was something he didn't need to consider.

After Jiang Yuan expressed his stance with silence, the mermaid's figure began to blur. Clearly, unable to get a definite answer, she was unwilling to enter Jiang Yuan's cycle of reincarnation. She wanted to continue waiting on this lifeline, becoming an eternal and unchanging resentment.

“I am unwilling to protect it!” Jiang Yuan refused, then took a deep breath and added, “But I can guarantee that the sea and land will maintain a perfect balance on the battlefield.”

The mermaid silently gazed at the Eternal Dharma Image, her gaze finally settling on Jiang Yuan.

"Could you play me a piece about the sorrow of the deep sea?" the mermaid asked, making a puzzling request.

"Me?"

Jiang Yuan was completely bewildered. He could boast, but playing a tune was really a bit difficult for him, especially since he didn't even know what the Deep Sea Sorrow was.
