Buzz—
Lu Tao opened the Anywhere Door as usual.
But suddenly.
He had barely lifted his foot, before even stepping into the portal, when he was stunned by the scene inside.
Then I saw...
As far as the eye could see, there was a vast, boundless space, and within this space, there were countless weak souls.
Over 99% of these souls are the souls of ordinary living beings after they have died.
Broken and weak, as if a breath could dissipate them into nothingness.
In addition, there were some souls whose strength of soul aura allowed Lu Tao to sense that they were cultivators in their previous lives.
Some are strong, some are weak.
Without exception, after entering this space, their souls and consciousness became somewhat stiff, or as if they had lost their spiritual awareness.
It leaves only the shell of a soul, with little memory or intelligence.
This secret realm was unlike any other rule-based secret realm he had encountered before.
This place is less a secret realm of rules and more a place of reincarnation.
Because at the same time.
Lu Tao also felt a surge of Dao power emanating from the Anywhere Door, a power that seemed to be pulling his soul out of his sea of souls.
However, this power of the Great Dao was somewhat weak and could not shake Lu Tao's soul at all.
"The Great Cycle of Reincarnation..."
Lu Tao's expression remained unchanged, but he was somewhat curious as to how the power of the Great Dao could exist within a secret realm of rules.
Could it be that the divine medicine of rules in this secret realm has already transformed into a divine medicine of the Great Dao?
Or is this not a secret realm governed by rules, but rather the place where this world is subject to reincarnation?
Lu Tao was really looking forward to it.
He walked straight in.
Buzz!
The moment he entered, an even more vast and powerful force of reincarnation surged toward Lu Tao, as if to engulf him entirely.
"The power of reincarnation is quite strong, but unfortunately, it can't harm me."
After sensing it slightly, Lu Tao shook his head.
The reincarnation power within the space was stronger than what he had sensed outside the Anywhere Door, but it posed no threat to him.
"This place... really doesn't seem like a secret realm!"
Lu Tao frowned slightly.
He released his divine soul, which spread in all directions. In the blink of an eye, Lu Tao had taken in everything within a radius of hundreds of millions of miles.
However, to Lu Tao's surprise...
This space is like a secret realm governed by rules, yet it is not quite.
The reason it is described as similar is because there are indeed rule seeds and rule-based divine medicines in this space, and the quantity is not small.
The reason it doesn't look like one is simply because there are many buildings in this space.
That's right, it's architecture!
And it's not an ordinary building.
"Fengdu Prefecture, Ghost Emperor's Palace, Ten Kings of Hell, Merit Officer's Office, Judge's Office, Reincarnation Office, Underworld Commander's Office..."
Lu Tao looked at them one by one, becoming increasingly alarmed.
The architecture and layout here are strikingly similar to the underworld in his memory.
Although Lu Tao didn't know what the underworld on Earth was like, and he hadn't seen it much in TV dramas, he was very familiar with the names of these buildings.
Putting aside other things, he was very familiar with the Ten Kings of Hell, the judges, and the underworld generals.
King Yama, Ox-Head, Horse-Face, and so on—these are all widely known figures.
Unexpectedly, it also exists in this world's cycle of reincarnation.
but.
Their buildings have all been destroyed.
Clearly, a great battle once took place here, whether it was affected by the previous war between the gods or another great battle.
"Although the land of reincarnation has been broken, the reincarnation order here, or rather the power of the Great Dao of Reincarnation, is still in operation."
Lu Tao nodded to himself.
He doesn't know much about the Land of Reincarnation. At most, he has grasped the rules of reincarnation, but he knows nothing about the construction and operation of the Land of Reincarnation.
But it's clear that even though this place is broken, these souls can still be reincarnated from here.
However, Lu Tao couldn't understand or see their reincarnation process at all.
even.
He didn't even know how these cycles of reincarnation worked.
This reminded him of the second Great Thousand World he had created.
Number 2 has been operating for many years and has reincarnated countless beings, but as far as Lu Tao knows, there is no place for reincarnation inside Number 2.
There is no such underworld structure as this.
As for the various official positions in the underworld, there wasn't a single one.
There is no such thing as a place of reincarnation; everything is operated by the will of Heaven and Earth No. 2.
Lu Tao suddenly asked curiously, "Number 2, do you have a heavy burden in managing reincarnation yourself?"
"Reporting to the sect master, it is a very large undertaking, overseeing the reincarnation of countless beings. It is actually very tiring, but I am doing alright now, as there are not many beings within it."
The second Heavenly Will replied, "But if it were like this world outside, with countless living beings and complete control over the entire cycle of reincarnation in both the upper and lower realms, the Heavenly Will would also find it difficult to maintain itself."
"I see!"
Lu Tao suddenly realized and pondered, "So, the underworld is actually the will of heaven and earth, or rather, the power of the heavenly way that has been delegated to it to govern reincarnation."
Number 2 hesitated and said, "That should be the case, but I am only at the intermediate level of the Great Thousand World. My reincarnation is not perfect. I can only rely on the Dao of Reincarnation to operate the reincarnation order, rather than relying on the Great Dao of Reincarnation."
Obviously.
By observing this place of reincarnation, it seems to have gained some understanding.
Number 2 continued, "Sect Master, once I upgrade to an advanced Great Thousand World, the beings within that world should be able to comprehend the power of the Great Dao through Daoist principles, and perhaps then I will be able to grant them authority and thus establish a cycle of reincarnation."
"Perhaps."
Lu Tao nodded to himself.
He wasn't sure about that either.
Undoubtedly, once his Great Thousand World is upgraded to an advanced level, he will gain an increase in his understanding of the Great Dao. However, it seems that he will not possess the power of the Great Dao.
Just as it doesn't currently possess the power of rules.
It's as if Lu Tao only bestowed upon it the Daoist essence. Even after the upgrade, the enhancements are only in various aspects of the amplification and the strength of the will of heaven and earth, rather than the birth of the power of rules and the power of the Great Dao.
As for whether the second Heavenly Will could grant authority through Daoist rhyme, Lu Tao had no clue.
He had no experience in this area and could not speculate.
but.
After thinking for a moment, Lu Tao said, "Number 2 and Number 3, carefully memorize the operating modes of the buildings in this space. We'll see if we can use them after the next upgrade."
Although that's what he said, Lu Tao felt that it would be useful.
after all.
In this world that has almost no connection with Earth, the official positions in the underworld are almost identical to those on Earth, indicating that the two are similar in terms of the way power is exercised in the underworld.
Once they are upgraded in the future, they should be able to have the same degree of autonomy.
Reduce their own burden.
"Yes, Sect Master!"
Numbers 2 and 3 received their orders and carefully observed the entire Land of Reincarnation.
Whoosh!
Lu Tao wore a pair of specially made boots that looked ordinary, but in reality, once he entered his inner energy, he could teleport directly like other God Emperors who cultivated the Great Dao of Space or the Great Dao of Speed.
This was something he had previously crafted specifically for himself using Emperor-grade materials. The Dao power it contained had also reached the level of a Perfect God Emperor, only its power was far more vast.
With a single teleport, Lu Tao covered an immeasurably vast distance.
He appeared before a divine herb of reincarnation and dug it up with his outstretched hand.
This miraculous herb of reincarnation...
Well, how should I put it?
Its growth not only involves absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in this space, but also the spiritual power of the surrounding area.
These soul powers are formed from souls that have stayed in space for too long, causing them to be unable to reincarnate and thus disintegrating.
In other words...
It can also be said that it absorbed souls to grow.
"Fortunately, it's not absorbed directly, but indirectly; otherwise, it would be quite unpleasant to take."
Lu Tao sighed inwardly and took it into his medicine garden.
Lu Tao teleported repeatedly, collecting various rule-based divine medicines and rule seeds time and time again.
This time, he did not send any disciples of the Immortal Sect.
The main problem is that the power of reincarnation in this space is too strong.
Although he could not be shaken, he still posed a considerable threat to the other Immortal Sect disciples who had reached the peak of the Divine Emperor realm.
Especially...
Lu Tao discovered that after he entered this space, he seemed to be regarded as an intruder by these reincarnation forces, who were targeting him relentlessly, trying to pull him into reincarnation or drive him away.
The power of reincarnation in the entire space is vast, far beyond what a single God Emperor could possess.
but.
Although the power of reincarnation is vast and boundless, in terms of quality, it appears relatively thin and weak.
In terms of sheer power, even the combined reincarnation power of ten or a hundred perfected God Emperors is far inferior to this space; however, in terms of quality, its power is only about the same as that of an early-stage God Emperor.
otherwise……
Even though Lu Tao follows the path of Chaotic Martial Arts, he wouldn't dare to venture into this place easily with his own cultivation level alone, and could only rely on Number 3 and Number 2.
The more miraculous medicines Lu Tao collected, the more surprised and delighted he became.
Because he discovered that not only were there divine medicines and seeds of rules here, but also divine medicines of the Great Dao.
They don't need to be cultivated; they can be consumed directly to enhance the Cycle of Reincarnation.
"Indeed, it is reasonable that such a divine medicine of the Great Dao would be born under such a vast power of the Great Dao of Reincarnation."
Lu Tao nodded silently and happily put it away.
immediately.
Lu Tao thought to himself with regret, "It's a pity that among the three thousand Great Daos, it seems that only the Great Dao of Reincarnation uses a single Great Dao to divide power and build a power center. Otherwise, we would definitely have collected more Great Dao Divine Medicines."
certainly.
Lu Tao was also well aware of this.
If that were the case, the God Emperors and Dao Saints born within the world would probably have already fought each other to seize these Great Dao Divine Medicines, causing the world to collapse and crumble.
Even Lu Tao had his doubts.
Was the Land of Reincarnation also destroyed for this reason?
The more places Lu Tao visited, the more tragic scenes he witnessed.
The entire land of reincarnation was filled with ruins and rubble.
Through these dilapidated buildings, Lu Tao could also tell that the materials used in their construction were extremely extraordinary, probably of royal or imperial grade or higher.
But it was still damaged.
Now, under the erosion of endless years and various forces, it has almost completely decayed.
Logically speaking...
Although there are many buildings in the underworld, they shouldn't be that big. But in reality, the underworld is very large, so large that even Lu Tao was somewhat shocked.
Even with his divine soul power, he couldn't complete the entire cycle of reincarnation despite teleporting multiple times.
and.
This land of reincarnation is still in ruins.
If it were complete, it would definitely be larger.
The materials used to build the underworld must be terrifying.
Just thinking about it made Lu Tao's scalp tingle.
If he were given all these materials, what terrifying artifacts and vast worlds he could forge!
also.
While exploring the Land of Reincarnation, Lu Tao sensed that this place not only possessed the power of reincarnation, but also other powers of the Great Dao.
For example, the Great Way of Life, the Great Way of Death, the Great Way of Yin, the Great Way of Yang, the Seven Emotions and Six Desires, the Five Elements, and so on.
However, relatively speaking, these Great Dao powers are all very weak, and are more like auxiliary forces to the Great Dao of Reincarnation.
Or perhaps it is...
These great powers gave Lu Tao the feeling that they were more like gifts bestowed upon reincarnated beings.
The Great Way bestows talent upon us.
"So, the Land of Reincarnation isn't really a power center built on the power of a single Great Dao, but rather more like the core of the entire world."
Lu Tao seemed to realize something.
But these are all just his guesses, and he doesn't know for sure if that's actually the case.
but--
He believes the latter hypothesis more than the one of decentralized power in a single major road.
The entire Land of Reincarnation felt the same to Lu Tao as he remembered—gloomy, terrifying, and chilling.
It's only because Lu Tao's cultivation is now so high, and the Samsara Land has encountered problems.
Otherwise, given his cultivation level, he really wouldn't dare to set foot in this place so easily.
even.
As he walked through the land of reincarnation, he could faintly hear various mournful cries emanating from the void.
It sent chills down one's spine.
It's obvious without even guessing.
These must be the screams of souls entering the cycle of reincarnation, or the screams of those who have had their memories erased or have undergone reincarnation trials.
But these...
Lu Tao was very disappointed; he wouldn't be able to see it.
All the buildings in the Land of Reincarnation have collapsed, and the operation of reincarnation is neither visible nor tangible.
Lu Tao only knew that it happened in this space, but he couldn't see it with his own eyes.
Even powerful forces like No. 2 and No. 3, the will of heaven and earth, could not discern its form, causing them to sigh repeatedly.
But all I could do was sigh.
Once they are upgraded to a sufficient level, they will surely be able to build the same cycle of reincarnation.
As Lu Tao teleported, he exclaimed, "The Land of Reincarnation has already collapsed, yet Reincarnation itself hasn't been greatly affected. The will of heaven and earth in this world is truly powerful."
The will of heaven and earth, or the way of heaven, can also be called the way of heaven.
The authority of Heaven is beyond question and absolutely powerful; even if reincarnation collapses and the world is shattered, it will remain steadfast.
only--
Even with his current strength, Lu Tao cannot sense the Heavenly Dao of this world, let alone come into contact with it.
It wasn't just him.
Even Number 2 and Number 3, who are also the will of heaven and earth, cannot make contact with it.
It's as if it doesn't exist.
Only through the cycle of reincarnation and the arrival of heavenly tribulations can Lu Tao and the others know that the Heavenly Dao of this world has always existed and has always maintained the order of heaven and earth.
Whoosh!
Lu Tao quickly ransacked the central area of the Land of Reincarnation, and then teleported to the edge of the Land of Reincarnation.
The moment it appeared, Lu Tao sensed all sorts of chaotic forces.
Not only the various Great Dao forces, but also the power of the will of heaven and earth, have not been extinguished even after countless years, and continue to entangle and collide at the edge of the cycle of reincarnation.
This caused the space of the Land of Reincarnation to continuously collapse, spreading along the center of the Land of Reincarnation.
However, the spread is not very fast.
"Why does it look so similar to that chaotic place in the center of the divine realm?"
Lu Tao frowned slightly.
The scene seemed familiar; he had seen it not long ago.
It's just that the chaotic land outside the battlefield is larger in scale, with more and stronger chaotic forces, and the power of the will of heaven and earth is even more terrifying.
"It seems there really is a connection between the two."
Lu Tao nodded silently.
Clearly, the great war between the gods took place not only in the outer realms but also in the extremely important place of the Land of Reincarnation.
What puzzled Lu Tao was...
Since a great battle has taken place here, it must have been a fight between powerful figures such as God Emperors and Dao Saints.
But why is there not a single living being here now?
It was as if it had been forgotten here by other powerful figures after a great battle.
Logically, this shouldn't be the case.
The Land of Reincarnation is such an important place. Putting aside its control over the world, the seeds of rules, divine medicines, and divine medicines of the Great Dao that are born in this space alone are enough for other powerful beings to take them into their own hands.
Instead of leaving it unattended.
Even with Lu Tao's abilities, it took him nearly a month to find this space.
But given the abilities of other Dao Saints, especially those who cultivate the Great Dao of divination, cause and effect, and calculation, they should be able to find them as well.
unless……
There are currently no Dao Saints who have advanced through these Great Daos.
Even if they weren't there, what about those God Emperors and Dao Saints who fought here back then?
Surely we can't all perish together?
Lu Tao couldn't quite understand it.
He didn't bother to think too much about it. After quickly looting the entire Samsara Land, Lu Tao stared at it for a moment before turning around and leaving.
"We only need three more rule-based divine medicines to complete the three thousand."
Lu Tao returned to the void outside, somewhat excited.
Of the three thousand divine medicines of rules, only three are missing to complete the set: Separation, Destiny, and Time...
