Chapter 876: Chapter 356: Changes in Heaven and Earth, Journey to the Phoenix Race
Celestial Destiny World.
The mysterious scroll descended, days passed, and everywhere was a scene of devastated ruins.
Across all the continents, nations, villages, and cities, were dead husks drained of life.
They maintained the actions they had in life, some lying at their desks, some having meals with family, some chatting with friends, and some working.
All had fallen instantly to the ground.
Because these mortals could not see the battle over destiny, they died suddenly and unaware, their destiny drained dry by the Tribulation Qi.
On the third morning after seeing the scroll descend, Jian Xin, having rested and recovered, stood up and said, "It’s time for me to bring these citizens back to life."
"After all, their bodies are walking dead, if they stay dead too long, they’ll truly be beyond saving.
"Their karma is resolved, having died once, indeed it is time for them to return," Night Emperor said faintly.
Jian Xin had planned ahead.
On these citizens, he infected them with the initial generation of Embers, using various methods to ensure that upon death, they would definitely become Embers.
The more of a mortal one is, the easier it is to produce Embers, especially when you have a base rate of 50%.
Thus Jian Xin laid out plans before the battle, and now the homeland of the Netherworld is likely filled with Embers everywhere.
Clatter.
Jian Xin, in the mental world within his heart, released these Ember Soul Bodies, letting citizens everywhere in the world stand up.
"Did I fall asleep?" A family of three lying at the dining table stood up, bewildered, glancing at each other, not knowing what happened.
On the streets, pedestrians gradually stood up.
"What happened?" A vendor selling candied haws scratched his head and also stood up.
"I seemed to be in line earlier, met some Nether Emissary who said my lifespan wasn’t over."
"I felt the same way."
"Quite peculiar indeed."
...
Countless mortal citizens were astonished.
The more a mortal without cultivation, the higher probability of becoming Embers when using various treasures to boost birth of Embers.
But most of the wild cultivators across the states didn’t have such luck, they only had a 50% explosion rate, and Jian Xin didn’t spend resources to boost their probability.
These exploiting capitalists, better off not resurrecting.
Jian Xin watched the resurrection of people across the land and said aloofly:
"This is already the best outcome, we deliberately spent some time turning most of them into mortals to make it easier for them to become Embers and uniformly revive."
"Because of the insane exploitation by those capitalistic gods, the entanglement of karma was too great, the world was a tangled mess, only by all dying once could the accounts be cleared!"
"A complete write-off is needed to transition to the next era better."
"The only problem now is that the resurrected citizens are ghosts... the whole Celestial Destiny World is already a super tomb."
"This tomb is even larger than the Nine-State world across."
Night Emperor looked at this scene and sighed inwardly.
This was indeed the route they planned.
They needed to calculate and plan a lot, otherwise, even a slight mistake would lead to huge disasters.
The citizens now were indeed ghosts, but they, like normal ghosts, didn’t believe themselves to be dead.
Next.
Let them return to their bodies as Embers, then it’s time to resurrect them, to awaken them!
But the traditional awakening route to becoming Ghost Kings is hard to popularize.
Therefore, they needed to complete the last loop of salvation.
Phoenix Flame.
Burn all the Embers in the world once, and completely resurrect from Embers!
Across in Nine-State, Heart Flame Emperor roasted Nine-State on the Earth Vein Network.
How could he, as the Heart Flame Emperor, not burn all the living souls of the world and live through each era?
Thus, they set their eyes on the Phoenix Race.
Phoenix can unconditionally resurrect from the ashes, directly becoming Ghost Kings.
Of course, they needed to research a weakened version that could be widely popularized and help others resurrect — the Phoenix Flame.
No expectation for the awakened Ghost Kings to be strong, nor for the chance to reshape Immortal Path Foundation... just hope for the basic functionality of resurrection.
Moreover, the principle is simple: revive the [Ember Shell], regenerate Muddy Qi within the shell.
Like a tree stump named True Spirit, experiencing rebirth after withering, drawing out new young sprouts of life.
And in each lifetime, with the death of Muddy Qi... the Soul Shell rebirths consciousness, the next life is you, or not, it’s up to you to decide.
After all.
Resurrection always comes with a cost.
Unless it’s a perfect resurrection of a Ghost King like Ning Zheng, with Soul Muddy Qi + Soul Shell, others only have Soul Shell left in resurrection, losing 50% of their essence with each resurrection.
This is the destiny reincarnation system they devised.
A person dies, their karma eliminated.
Additionally.
As said in the neighboring land: Ancestor of Embers is the best at harvesting karma!
They cast some deeply sinful Embers, under the guise of punishment, into the eighteenth layer of Netherworld Hell—the chive paddy field, regularly harvesting, reviving, harvesting, reviving.
Isn’t this yield better than traditional?
It doesn’t take much space, not even feeding Destiny chives, with less karma.
This intensive Ember planting, accumulating enough, with Hell fully loaded, conservatively estimates can yield ten times previous earnings.
Night Emperor said lightly:
"This is indeed the progress of the era, from ancient times 100 catties per acre to modern times 1000 catties per acre, it’s the advancement of civilized agriculture."
Jian Xin also coldly said: "Destiny indeed is a game of monopoly, its essence is exploitation, even we can’t change it, but compared to those capitalistic gods, we’ve already been very gentle."
"We only exploit the guilty of each era, preventing them from reincarnation, capturing them into the Netherworld for harvest."
Night Emperor nodded with a smile, already envisioning a bright future, "We should contact the neighboring manor now."
"Write them a letter, see if they can figure out the Phoenix Flame."
"Our luck is remarkably good, always able to come up with a weakened version of the Phoenix Flame that could be used by others for resurrection, forcing the Soul Shell to generate Muddy Qi consciousness, establishing reincarnation."
Night Emperor’s vision was exceptionally perfect.
Reincarnation and rebirth, also adding the life and death legacy’s karma line control, the world was completely matured.
And this, took less than four thousand years.
...
Ning Zheng frowned slightly, holding the letter in contemplation.
The order has been reestablished across, after resolving karma, directly prospering, it wouldn’t be surprising if immortals appeared in a week.
Moreover, starting tomorrow, the Twelve Bronze Men of various places can be restarted, collecting Qi Fortune Value again, and the neighboring system optimized, potentially yielding more.
It’s just this Phoenix Flame...
Ning Zheng felt it somewhat troublesome but could not delay, each delayed day by the neighboring land would greatly hinder progress.
"I must go to the Phoenix Race now." Ning Zheng decided to go as Xirong Manor Master, decisively.
A swoosh of sound.
Ning Zheng soared with Dharma Aspect, directly entering the Phoenix Race’s location.
