“Lord Fang Xiu, that Aging Witch doesn’t even look down on the Xuanming Domain. She must have been a great figure in her past life. What she cares about most now is to regain her memories. So her goal doesn’t conflict with Kimir’s. After it’s done, Kimir will get the Xuanming Domain, and the Aging Witch will get the Reincarnation Crystal she wants.”
"Reincarnation Crystal?"
Dark Shadow nodded vigorously: "The Reincarnation Crystal is the crystal of laws that was formed after the Six Paths of Reincarnation in the Underworld were broken. It contains the laws of reincarnation. Kimir was lucky enough to find a Reincarnation Crystal, but he doesn't understand the laws of reincarnation, and his memories have also been restored, so the Reincarnation Crystal is of no help to him."
The Aging Witch seemed to control a portion of the reincarnation power; wanting to use the Reincarnation Crystal to regain her past life's memories, she agreed to help Kimir.
Upon hearing this, Fang Xiu's heart stirred. The Reincarnation Crystal was formed after the Six Paths of Reincarnation were shattered. Could it be used to repair the damaged Reincarnation Land? Or even reshape the Six Paths of Reincarnation?
He already harbored the intention to rebuild the Six Paths of Reincarnation within the Divine Kingdom, and now this Crystallized Reincarnation is something he is determined to obtain.
"Where is the Aging Witch?" Fang Xiu asked, intending to set off immediately to prevent the Aging Witch from refining the Reincarnation Crystal.
"Lord Fang Xiu, I'll show you the way."
......
......
In a secluded corner of the Demon Realm, in a very remote wooden cabin.
A woman with a slender figure, curly brown hair, and wearing a loose black robe was making some kind of mysterious potion. The wooden house was filled with bottles and jars, including demonic eyeballs soaking in green water, teeth of some unknown creature in jars, and souls compressed into tiny figures in transparent bottles. They were all bizarre and strange, but equally terrifying and sinister.
This person is none other than the Ageless Witch.
To her left was a crystal mirror made of bone, reflecting her angelic and exquisite face, whose beauty was in no way inferior to Medusa's. Her long, dark hair covered her forehead, like the twilight enveloping the western sunset.
Her hair was thick and coarse, like a horse's mane, yet it possessed a childlike restlessness and softness, curling around her small ears. She had a pair of antelope-like brown eyes with long, flowing hair, and a beauty mark at the corner of her eye, which, rather than being a flaw, seemed more like an embellishment, adding to her charm.
However, when she turned around to get the medicine, her right cheek was inevitably exposed in the mirror. Strangely, her right cheek was covered by half a silver mask, completely obscuring her face without leaving a single gap.
She dripped the mysterious green potion into an irregularly shaped prismatic crystal in the jar, and it hissed...
The crystal looked as if it had been corroded, and it was just beginning to dissolve when, in the next second, boom!
A mysterious and obscure light of reincarnation suddenly erupted from the crystal, and the powerful explosion shattered the cabin, even blasting the aging witch away.
"Cough cough..." The aging witch coughed twice, her face showing displeasure: "I never imagined that the laws of reincarnation in the East were so profound. This analysis has failed again. Alas, I wonder when I will be able to analyze it successfully and regain my memories."
She dragged her weary steps toward the ruins of the cabin, intending to pick up the Reincarnation Crystal and start over. She had experienced countless failures like this before.
Because of the explosion, the silver mask on his right cheek had long since disappeared, revealing his true face.
That half of his right cheek shattered all the beautiful illusions brought by the left cheek. What a sinister and terrifying face it was, covered with rotting flesh, his skin charred black as if he had first burned it with fire and then torn it apart with a knife.
The bones were exposed, and the eyeballs bulged out, as if they were about to fall out of their sockets at any moment.
Just as she was about to reach the cabin, suddenly, whoosh!
A spatial fluctuation appeared, and a scarlet figure appeared like lightning, scooping up an irregular crystal from the ruins of the wooden house, and then immediately disappeared.
Faced with such a shocking turn of events, the aging witch's first reaction was not to snatch the irregular crystal, but to instinctively cover her right cheek.
As she covered her right cheek, the scarlet figure had already vanished from the spot.
In the void, Fang Xiu examined the irregular crystal in his hand, feeling the immense power of reincarnation contained within it, and knew that he had found the right thing.
Just as he was about to travel through the void and leave this place, he suddenly found that his body was weak and his vitality was disappearing rapidly. He could even feel that his body was aging rapidly. His once upright figure became hunched and his fair skin was covered with wrinkles.
His deep eyes became cloudy, and his muscles began to atrophy.
Thump!
His body swayed, and he fell directly from the void.
Outside, the aging witch looked indifferently at the aged Fang Xiu without saying a word, and a forbidden and ominous ray burst forth from her palm.
Whoosh!
Fang Xiu was hit by the ray, but a look of surprise and doubt flashed in the eyes of the aging witch.
Fang Xiu, who had been struck, slowly disintegrated and eventually disappeared completely.
"Afterimage? That's impossible. You've been affected by the power of aging, yet you can still unleash such incredible speed?" the Aging Witch exclaimed in shock.
This was the first time she had ever seen a dying old man running away, leaving behind a blurry image.
Suddenly, the aged Fang Xiu appeared before her. Even though he was old and near death, his cloudy eyes still revealed an unusual calmness, a calmness that seemed to see through people's hearts.
"You've set up a formation around here?"
"Indeed, I did set up a magic circle." The aging witch admitted frankly, seemingly full of confidence and never worried about losing. This confidence seemed to be innate, something she had been born with.
She stared intently at Fang Xiu, and after a moment, a look of surprise appeared in her eyes: "The power of time! No wonder you can still move so fast even after you've aged. It's the power of time. Who exactly are you? Eastern God, who can control the power of time, state your name!"
Fang Xiu ignored him and casually glanced at his aged, wrinkled hands, scrutinizing them, saying, "The superposition and application of the laws of death and time, no wonder it can age a god."
At this moment, he also understood why Kimir, after his breakthrough, was unwilling to provoke the Aging Witch. It turned out that she not only possessed the power of two laws, but could even fuse the two laws together to form a new law of aging.
This is something that no ordinary demon god could do.
The aging witch's expression suddenly changed; she hadn't expected that Fang Xiu would see through her aging nature with just a glance.
Her power of aging is a combination of death and time. Aging is the process of gradually moving towards death. Although gods do not age, they inevitably fall into aging under the erosion of the power of death and the acceleration of the power of time.
