This is the 10th in the nine cycles of reincarnation.
To be precise, he was his 10.5th generation.
Because in this very life, he had already died once, but at the moment of his death, he prayed to the heavens, wishing to be an ordinary person who could experience birth, aging, sickness, and death normally.
Heaven granted his request.
So, going back five years, to the night Sheng Ai was sacrificed to the Illuminati, he began his 10.5th incarnation, and everyone "started over" without knowing it.
In his tenth incarnation, Sheng Ai did not "come back to life," and everything unfolded just like in the romance novel that Sheng Jiagui had read...
Yes, he "realized" the truth of the world at the moment of his death.
The world he inhabits is a book.
However, the author of this book did not write only this one book; he wrote many others.
Some books are fantasy novels, which contain extraordinary items such as space bracelets...
Some books are about mind reading...
Some of the books are system documents...
Some books are about rebirth or time travel...
Some of the writings are about the past or evil gods...
etc.
These books form a vast and imaginative worldview.
The stories and time periods in these books were not originally connected.
However, because Heaven granted his request and turned back time five years, a small crack and distortion appeared in the spacetime of this world...
This small crack appeared above Carnival Island...
Heaven has been trying to repair this rift, but it cannot be completed in a short time.
And so, this rift attracted objects, beings, or creatures from other worlds depicted in the same work by the author…
Or perhaps, objects, beings, or creatures from other worlds fell into this world through a spacetime rift...
When they arrived on Carnival Island, they were drawn by the "calling" and "obsession" emanating from the sacrificial ritual, thus locking onto Sheng'ai, and through Sheng'ai's obsession, "found" the Sheng family, the most suitable family for their survival...
that's all.
Sheng Jiarong gained the ability to read minds...
Shengjing received the system...
Sheng Jiafu is reborn...
etc.
As for Sheng Ai...
Because she is already dead, it is difficult for her to be used by "visitors" from another world.
Until the higher-ranking "Old Ones" or "Evil Gods" finally succeeded in crossing the spacetime rift, unleashing unprecedented lightning and storms on Carnival Island...
These "visitors from another world" possessed Sheng Ai through lightning...
Sheng Ai's body was completely destroyed, but her obsession with her family and her happy life before death became a phantom-like "physical entity" due to the "visitor from another world's" abilities, returning to the Sheng family...
Sheng Ai's obsession transformed into powerful "rules," forcing the Sheng family to act in accordance with these rules...
Even though the Sheng family members all possess powerful superpowers, they cannot defy Sheng Ai's rules.
The rules of love are indeed invincible.
But in the end, she was just the embodiment of "obsession".
Once a member of the Sheng family dies or goes to jail, Sheng Ai will believe that "being with her family forever" has been achieved or can never be achieved again, and her "obsession" will slowly dissipate...
By then, even the deepest love will vanish completely, leaving nothing behind...
Furthermore, for the sake of the stability and balance of this world, Heaven will not allow Sheng Ai to exist indefinitely.
Heaven may be powerless against Sheng Ai.
But the will of Heaven can cause the Sheng family to die or disappear, indirectly causing Sheng Ai's "obsession" to vanish, thus causing Sheng Ai to dissipate as well...
Sheng Ai wants to "live" on, and the only way is to rebuild her physical body and allow her consciousness to return.
However, how easy is it to come back to life from the dead?
At this moment, what Shi Jiu is asking of Heaven is to bring Sheng Ai back to life.
[Time Nine——]
The voice of Heaven rang in Shi Jiu's ears.
[You have reincarnated ten times, dying tragically in each life, while saving countless lives.]
[This is how I earned the chance to become a god.]
[You can become a god anytime you want.]
[Even now, with just a single thought, you could ascend to godhood, transcending the cycle of birth and death, and the joys and sorrows of the mortal world.]
[However, if you exchange ten lifetimes of merit for that woman's physical resurrection, you will lose not only the opportunity to ascend to godhood, but also the memories of those ten lifetimes and the chance to be reincarnated.]
Have you thought this through?
"I've thought this through very clearly," Shi Jiu said calmly.
[My true desire is not to become a god, but to live this life peacefully and contentedly, like all other living beings.]
[In my nine past lives, I have never experienced a time of peace and prosperity.]
[And this life is the peaceful and prosperous era I have been seeking.]
[I wish to end my cycle of reincarnation and merit in this lifetime, and be a mere mortal.]
A good amount of time passed.
Only then did he hear the sigh of Heaven.
[Everyone in the world wants to become a god.]
Throughout history, countless emperors, generals, and those seeking spiritual cultivation have gone to great lengths to achieve godhood.
[You accumulated merit over ten lifetimes, finally attaining the chance to become a god, yet you gave it up for someone else. What a pity!]
Is it a pity?
Shi Jiu asked herself this question.
Is it really a pity?
He could no longer remember his experiences in the previous nine lifetimes, but he always clearly remembered how he died in each of them.
First incarnation.
He was a slave, but he could no longer endure his master's cruelty and slaughter, and in anger, he led the rebellion...
Ultimately, he was betrayed by those around him and torn apart by five horses—no, not torn apart a corpse, but a living person…
Second incarnation.
He made his fortune in business, built countless bridges and roads, and adopted countless orphans and abandoned children, but in the end, he was framed by villains, lost all his wealth, and was beheaded on the execution ground...
