Chapter 400: Chapter 344: Forging Reincarnation
In an instant, a blazing white light flared in the blond Young Man’s eyes, nearly filling his entire vision.
He reached into his clothes and then opened his palm.
There, lying quietly in his broad palm, was a crescent-shaped black snake scale.
At that moment, the once-dull scale burst into brilliance. Streaks of light, like nimble threads, faintly pointed toward a specific location.
Seeing this, the corners of the blond Young Man’s mouth turned up in a cold smile.
"The remnant of the Snake of Destruction has finally appeared. My long wait here was not in vain."
The Young Man was none other than Xi Zhongsi, who had come here in pursuit of the Snake of Destruction’s aura.
However, after arriving in the Shallow Wave Zone, the trail of the Snake of Destruction’s aura vanished.
Therefore, he could only remain there and wait for his target to reveal itself.
He never expected that his wait would last for nearly a century.
Fortunately, his patience had paid off. He had finally found it.
As he thought of this, points of light appeared behind him, rapidly converging.
In the blink of an eye, they transformed into six massive white feathers of light, each one emitting a soft, holy glow.
With a slight shake, the wings unfurled.
Then, with a powerful tremor, the shell-shaped Spirit Realm creature beneath his feet exploded, dying instantly.
His entire figure instantly transformed into a dazzling white Flowing Light.
Like an arrow loosed from a bow, he shot off in the direction indicated by the snake scale in his hand.
...
「More than half a month of Earth Star Days later.」
In a certain region of the vast and boundless Shallow Wave Zone, green points of light could be seen everywhere, rising and falling, drifting lazily about.
The light here was exceptionally dim.
Hu Qi’s figure was seated cross-legged amidst it all.
His expression was focused, his gaze fixed on a writhing, dark-gold embryonic silhouette before him.
All around, the Crimson Sun Flame Fire and the black smoke from the Damaged Black Banner swirled around the embryo, performing the final shaping.
As the last wisp of black smoke merged into the embryo, Hu Qi finally ceased his work.
He let out a long breath.
"It’s finally done!"
The ball of light that had been formed from the world’s will had vanished without a trace.
In its place was a dark-gold disc, about the size of a wheel.
The disc emanated a simple, profound luster.
The edge of the disc was intricately carved with a circle of extremely complex patterns. These patterns resembled the orbits of ancient stars, or perhaps the intertwined threads of fate.
Within them, streams of light flowed slowly, like babbling brooks.
And at the very center of the disc, a lifelike pattern of two yin-yang fish spun tirelessly and slowly, emitting a faint sound like the meshing of gears.
It seemed to be enacting the cycle of life and death, of cause and effect.
This was, without a doubt, a Dream Eye.
However, compared to the other Dream Eyes he had seen before, this one was on a completely different level.
In terms of its rank, even if all ten of the original Dream Eyes were combined, they would seem insignificant before it.
To successfully create this Dream Eye, Hu Qi had poured in a tremendous amount of effort.
Not only did he expend a great deal of the Damaged Black Banner’s power, but he also utilized the will of an entire world to finally achieve success.
Perhaps due to the unique influence of the Black Banner, or for some other unknown reason, this world’s will was different from that of Earth Star; its autonomous consciousness seemed to be of a higher level.
During the refining process, the world’s will had actually spoken, begging Hu Qi to spare it.
Hu Qi couldn’t bear it, so he could only speed up the refining process while simultaneously erasing its consciousness, so it wouldn’t suffer so much.
Of course, the fact that he needed a purely inanimate object to achieve his vision, rather than something with its own consciousness, had absolutely nothing to do with his decision.
However, for Hu Qi, it made no difference.
This Dream Eye, into which he had poured so much effort, was named the Yin Yang Reincarnation Disc by Hu Qi.
Its primary function was to achieve the effect of Reincarnation.
The inspiration for its creation came from the Six Paths of Reincarnation in the ancient myths and legends of Blue Star.
The so-called six paths were the Celestial Dao, Earth Dao, and Human Dao of the Three Virtuous Dao, as well as the Beast Dao, Asura Dao, and Evil Ghost Dao of the Three Evil Dao.
Each Dao represented a completely different state of existence and Karmic Cause and Effect.
According to legend, all living beings would continuously reincarnate within these six paths based on their good and evil deeds in their previous lives.
However, creating a true Six Paths Reincarnation Disc was an almost impossible task for Hu Qi.
The complex mechanisms involved, such as comparing Merit from good and evil deeds, were of no practical use to him.
What he urgently needed was simply to allow the creatures in his Pocket World Space to reincarnate on their own, thereby forming a complete ecological cycle.
Therefore, he didn’t need to create a true Six Paths of Reincarnation.
If the Yin Yang Reincarnation Disc were to be measured against the Six Paths of Reincarnation, it would have only two paths: the Human Dao and the Beast Dao.
The Human Dao, needless to say, referred to humans, the most spiritual beings in the world.
The Beast Dao, on the other hand, encompassed creatures that were born normally but did not possess ordinary human intelligence.
This included animals, plants, and other objects that had gained self-awareness for various reasons.
This meant that the Yin Yang Reincarnation Disc could only help a Light of the Soul reincarnate within these two paths.
