Chapter 283 Rewarding My Former Self
Ten days later.
"That's enough."
Jiang Yan smiled bitterly as he watched the myriad worlds finally stop deteriorating.
"This time we've really lost big time. We can forget about the fusion of laws, but we've also lost the Holy Light, the Law of the Dead, and the Law of Reincarnation."
The entire divine kingdom has been completely shattered.
Without a support, the remaining divine power dissipated as quickly as if it had been placed into a water tank riddled with holes.
"Sir, why go to such lengths? You will only bring death upon yourself." A familiar voice slowly sounded.
"Why didn't you say so earlier?"
Jiang Yan smiled faintly: "What, are you afraid I'll really kill you?"
“...”
"Don't worry, I'm not so ungrateful as to repay kindness with enmity... Anyway, I was given a second chance at life, and it's already magnificent enough." Jiang Yan murmured softly.
"What did you say, sir?"
"It's nothing, how much longer do I have to live?" Jiang Yan changed the subject.
"You forcibly stripped away the laws, causing the destruction of your divine kingdom and inflicting irreversible damage on your body. At the current rate, in six months when your divine power is completely depleted, you will..."
"Six months...I understand."
Feeling his strength steadily declining, Jiang Yan sighed:
"At this rate, we'll fall from the highest point soon. We still have a lot of favors to repay. Hopefully, we can make it in time."
Thinking it over, Jiang Yan no longer hesitated. With a surge of divine power, his figure disappeared from the spot.
The once abundant core gradually changed, crumbling into countless tiny fragments.
Upon closer inspection, each fragment corresponds to a world, within which countless beings gaze gratefully in the direction Jiang Yan departed.
at the same time.
Jiang Yan, having activated the Three Lives Divine Technique, arrived at the world of the afterlife, which he had experienced for the first time.
A man with the exact same face and captivating charm asked in surprise, "What brings you here?"
"Didn't I once say that if one day I conquer the abyss and achieve supreme power, I would come to continue the possibilities of this world?"
Jiang Yan smiled and said, "I've come to fulfill my promise."
"Huh? But..."
"No need for further words, time is running out. The destiny you bestowed upon me has helped me a great deal, and now it is my turn to help you. Go."
With a gentle wave of Jiang Yan's hand.
Time seemed to rewind rapidly around the man until, at a certain point, he collapsed.
—It was a scene straight out of the 30th Abyss Trial.
The prodigies of the Star Sea Clan, the prodigies of the Life Clan, the princess of the Fire Flame Empire... a total of seven women at the level of high-ranking gods, along with their subordinates, are bravely slaying a powerful demon god.
At that moment, the man who had fallen seemed to realize something, his expression changed drastically, and he shouted, "Xing'er, Wan'er...run!"
Almost simultaneously, an endless rift tore through the sky, and a terrifying aura spread from it.
The women fighting ahead simultaneously sensed the danger. The two strongest among them gritted their teeth and said, "You two go and protect Jiang Lang as he retreats. We'll hold off this monster!"
With that, the two rushed forward without hesitation.
"What an enviable life. Oh well, I'll just be a good person to the end."
Unseen by the crowd, Jiang Yan chuckled and waved his hand, unleashing two streams of divine power.
Those in the arena felt a sudden dizziness. When their vision cleared, they saw a man in front of them holding a sword in both hands, striking fiercely and cleaving the monster, which far surpassed any other being in the world, in two.
Then she turned and smiled gently: "Are you alright? Don't worry, I'll protect you."
...
The Second World.
After the same conversation.
Jiang Yan smiled and said, "To rewind the world, you can usually only reset it from the beginning of cause and effect. So, do you want me to help you go back directly to the beginning after you've passed the 30th Abyss Trial, or back to the beginning after you've passed the Novice Trial?"
"After the beginner's trial."
"You need to understand that I can only help you once. If you have to start from scratch, you'll have to rely on yourself for the third trial ten years from now."
The slightly weathered-looking man said without hesitation:
“I understand, but Miaolin has endured countless pressures and criticisms for the past ten years, and has never abandoned me. If I could do it all over again, I hope she could become the envy of everyone.”
“Very good, this is the responsibility I should have.”
A satisfied smile appeared on Jiang Yan's face. He snapped his fingers lightly, and the weathered man instantly disappeared.
Meanwhile, in this same plane, ten years ago, at the Federal Academy.
"Look, isn't that Jiang Yan? They say he's afraid of dying and only chose the easy level dungeon..."
"We really misjudged him. He always got such good grades in mock exams; I never expected him to be such a high-scoring but low-ability student..."
"Who can argue with that? It's a complete waste of the academy's resources..."
"You might as well give me the assessment spot..."
Hearing the criticisms around him, the man, who had just recovered from his rebirth, gave a self-deprecating smile and ignored them.
His experiences over the past decade have long since made him accustomed to these things.
But just then, a voice rang in my mind:
[Your Excellency Jiang Yan, the God-Creating Sequence is at your service. We have detected disrespect from these foolish mortals. Would you like to immediately issue a mission to retaliate?]
"release?"
The man said instinctively.
[Instructions received, quest: Return of the God of War has been generated.]
[Task Requirements: Perform a public display of divine power, thoroughly shattering the faces of these short-sighted critics. Note: Due to the host's lack of prior preparation, the system has pre-issued the completion reward: a Mythical-level job change card "The Favored One of the Holy Lord of Light" and 113 essential quotes for showing off.]
[Punishment for mission failure: Mythical-grade job change card "The Favored One of the Undead Emperor".]
"ah?!!"
...
The Third World...
The Fourth World...
The 999th world...
Jiang Yan swiftly traversed through various spaces of rebirth, fulfilling the promise he had once made.
A month later, when the last world wish was fulfilled, the power also fell below the highest level.
"Luckily, I made it in time."
Jiang Yan let out a long sigh of relief, his divine sense sweeping over the "selves" in various worlds, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
"I've done all I can. Good luck to you. But I don't know how to explain this when I get back..."
He took a deep breath, locked his divine sense on a certain place in Holy Spirit City, and used his remaining strength to tear open a passage and step inside.
The scene suddenly froze, and the whole world quietly shattered.
As the power fluctuations of the divine magic dissipated, Jiang Yan slowly awoke in the real world, his eyes slightly dazed.
"This...is it over?"
He recalled his experience in the divine magic, which was completely different from the past.
This time, he was no longer an observer, but a participant, and he blocked out all his memories.
"So this 100th assessment was a choice made based on my true feelings? I don't know if it counts as passing."
Jiang Yan shook his head slightly and looked at the notification from the skill changes on the panel.
You have completed 100 rebirth cultivations. Now, you can choose a destiny to reside in permanently.
[The prerequisites have been met; you have mastered the divine art, "This Life."]
