The Dao of Reincarnation (Patreon)

Chapter 387: The Main God Space (Finale)

Catastrophe descended.

The entire spacetime began to collapse.

Even though countless timelines had been gathered into a single unique spacetime, it still struggled to withstand the descent of so many Immortal Kings.

The space of the myriad heavens compressed. If those spacetime-traversing Immortal Kings continued to exist, this spacetime would completely vanish before long.

"What exactly has the Heavenly Gang Immortal King done?"

Even though Su Chen knew the Heavenly Gang Immortal King likely harbored an enormous scheme, he had never imagined the Immortal King would do something that alarmed nearly every force across the myriad heavens.

The Immortal Kings had descended, willing to destroy all spacetime, restart the myriad heavens, and drag out the Heavenly Gang Immortal King no matter the cost.

Restarting the myriad heavens would not only affect beings below the immortal level. Even True Immortals would be caught in the crossfire.

Some True Immortals, such as those of the Human Emperor Dao, were closely tied to the masses of ordinary beings. Without their foundation, their power would become like water without roots.

As spacetime continued to collapse, the end of time visibly twisted and folded. Ripples spread outward from a single point.

Wherever the ripples passed, the Great Dao laws shattered inch by inch before being replaced and reorganized by an even more powerful order.

At this moment, the Dao hearts of all beings across the myriad heavens trembled. Their minds went blank as they involuntarily knelt, pressing their heads to the ground. It was not merely submission of will, but the origin of life itself bowing in reverence toward an unimaginable existence.

Absolute dominion.

A brilliant light appeared. That single point rapidly expanded into an indescribable supreme figure.

Though Su Chen had never seen this figure before, he knew it was the Heavenly Gang Immortal King.

Even facing the descent of so many Immortal Kings, the Heavenly Gang Immortal King showed no fear. His gaze swept over the arriving Immortal Kings. Wherever his eyes fell, the boundless void solidified. Even the spacetime of the myriad heavens could not collapse under the pressure.

An ancient Immortal King saw the emerging figure and spoke in a deep voice. "Imperial Extremity Immortal King! I never expected you to have walked so many paths. Everyone underestimated you."

The Imperial Extremity Immortal King was one of the ancient Immortal Kings from the birth of the myriad heavens.

Behind the Imperial Extremity Immortal King, numerous beings coiled. Upon closer inspection, they were all Immortal King-level existences. What kind of being was this, who had successfully walked ten Immortal King paths, with each avatar distinctly different?

One of them bore the exact appearance of the Heavenly Gang Immortal King.

Those Immortal King bodies began merging into the Imperial Extremity Immortal King's form.

At the same moment, the solidified space trembled and was then destroyed by an overwhelming force.

The many Immortal Kings had descended into this spacetime with only one purpose: to retrieve the "items" stolen by the Imperial Extremity Immortal King.

The Imperial Extremity Immortal King stood unmoved. He was fully confident.

The moment space shattered, the myriad heavens fell silent. From the starting point of spacetime to its boundless end, a fissure suddenly tore open.

"Supreme...No, you are not the Supreme!"

The moment the Supreme Severing Fortune Immortal King appeared, the Immortal Kings were shocked. Yet they soon realized that although it looked like the Supreme Severing Fortune Immortal King, it was not him.

No one knew what changes had occurred.

However, the aura of this Supreme Severing Fortune Immortal King far surpassed that of the other Immortal Kings.

"Lord of Scourge! It's you! You didn't die!"

As a voice exploded from within an ancient palace, the Supreme Severing Fortune Immortal King stopped hiding. He grinned widely.

"I owe a favor and promised someone to hold all of you back. Please stay here for now!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, one Immortal King's body exploded. He had reached the limit of the Immortal King realm. No—he had surpassed the limit, with half a foot stepping into an unknown level.

Quasi-Immortal Emperor!

One quasi-Immortal Emperor was already terrifying enough. Yet now two had appeared.

With the appearance of the Lord of Scourge, Su Chen felt an unknown change occur within his body. He understood immediately.

"The Supreme Severing Fortune Immortal King had not died completely... The origin he left on me was his backup plan."

Su Chen decisively severed his True Immortal avatar from the Main God Space.

At that moment, the avatar was replaced by a new appearance—one identical to the Supreme Severing Fortune Immortal King Su Chen had seen.

Watching the scenes unfold on Su Chen's body, Oriental Cloud Star gaped. "This... this is..."

Su Chen felt speechless. This foolish disciple had probably been under the other's calculations from the very beginning, with every move tightly arranged by the Supreme Severing Fortune Immortal King.

"Congratulations on the Immortal King's return."

Although he had severed one immortal path, Su Chen felt no heartache. This represented him completely clearing his karma with the Main God Space. In fact, the Main God Space now owed him a favor.

Provided this battle could stop the "Heavenly Gang Immortal King" from breaking through to Immortal Emperor.

The Supreme Severing Fortune Immortal King glanced at Su Chen and Oriental Cloud Star before heading straight toward the Lord of Scourge.

Seeing the Supreme Severing Fortune Immortal King return, the Lord of Scourge lost his composure. "How are you still alive?"

He and the "Heavenly Gang Immortal King" had clearly erased the Supreme Severing Fortune Immortal King together. He had even taken over the latter's path.

Now the Supreme Severing Fortune Immortal King had returned by concealing the heavens. The Lord of Scourge had a bad premonition.

At that moment, a terrifying power erupted from the Lord of Scourge's body. That power acted like deadly poison, continuously breaking down his form.

Quasi-Immortal Emperor... Immortal King... True Immortal...

"No!"

The Lord of Scourge panicked.

This was the power of the "Main God."

As the Lord of Scourge was completely devoured, the Supreme Severing Fortune Immortal King fully returned. His cultivation was not one bit weaker than the Lord of Scourge's.

This scene left many Immortal Kings both shocked and delighted.

Shocked that the Supreme Severing Fortune Immortal King had hidden so deeply, managing to scheme against the Lord of Scourge and seize part of his Dao fruit.

Delighted that the Lord of Scourge was dead and they had gained another quasi-Immortal Emperor.

"Useless trash!"

Seeing the Lord of Scourge disappear so easily, with even part of his Dao fruit schemed away and turned into another's wedding dress, the "Heavenly Gang Immortal King" could not help but curse in rage. He only needed enough time to fully merge those "items." Then he would certainly become an Immortal Emperor.

With the Lord of Scourge gone, it was now impossible for him to take that final step in peace. The "Heavenly Gang Immortal King" traced the lines of karma to understand the cause and effect. His gaze turned dark and filled with chilling killing intent toward a certain space.

"This king truly did not expect... that the final variable would appear on you."

The myriad heavens grew dim.

Chapter 388: Life and Death Reincarnation (Part 1)

Su Chen's expression was not good.

At this moment, he had returned to the Reverse Fate Space. In other words, he had died. Even after living cautiously for an entire lifetime, he had still died in the end.

The power of the "Heavenly Gang Immortal King" far exceeded Su Chen's understanding. Facing the encirclement of numerous Immortal Kings, including a quasi-Immortal Emperor like the Supreme Severing Fortune Immortal King, the final outcome had been the Twilight of the Kings.

Too many Immortal Kings had fallen in that battle. Their blood annihilated spacetime.

Knowing escape was impossible, the "Heavenly Gang Immortal King" had directly sunk the spacetime where Su Chen existed, burying all the True Immortals within it alongside him.

The entire spacetime had vanished.

Su Chen did not know whether Oriental Cloud Star had survived in the end. The Heavenly Gang Immortal King had hidden so deeply. If not for Oriental Cloud Star accidentally stepping into the game, the Heavenly Gang Immortal King might truly have taken another step forward and transcended the Immortal King realm.

That would not have been a good outcome for Su Chen. His secret of continuous reincarnation had already been seen through by the Heavenly Gang Immortal King. If that being had survived the battle, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

This was the most scheming and most powerful enemy Su Chen had ever encountered. He inwardly raised his guard.

Su Chen opened the Reverse Fate Scripture.

[Nineteenth Life: You were the unparalleled genius of the Zhao Family in Heavenly Eastern Dao Province. Unfortunately, your luck was poor and your foundation was dug out, preventing you from cultivating. Fortunately, you had long grown accustomed to such things. With your transcendent comprehension, you could still reach the peak.

What you did not expect was that a True Immortal had already begun scheming against you before you awakened your memories. Facing the sudden apocalyptic heavenly thunder, even you at that moment could only sigh that your fate had come to an end.

Fortunately, you did not die. Not only did you survive, but you turned misfortune into fortune and entered the legendary Main God Space, obtaining a trace of its origin.

You chose the path of devouring the myriad heavens. Even with a mortal body, you could ascend to the heavens.

In just two worlds, relying on the Main God origin and your experience, you rose rapidly. You destroyed the Zhao Family of Heavenly Eastern Dao Province and learned the truth behind your lost aptitude. Nothing that belonged to you could be taken away. Anyone who tried to seize it by force would eventually pay the price. You successfully reclaimed one immortal bone.

You then experienced many worlds. In the campaign to encircle the Fourth Scourge, you single-handedly confronted the geniuses of the myriad heavens, covering the heavens with demonic might. You even killed a reincarnated True Immortal and shattered the Heavenly Gang Immortal King's scheme.

You successfully proved your Dao and became an immortal.

After becoming an immortal, in order to avoid falling into Immortal King schemes, you chose to lie low. As long as you did not go out, no one could scheme against you. Only when you sensed that your disciple Gongsun Ling's lifespan was nearing its end did you sigh helplessly and step out of the Main God Space to give her one final chance at immortality.

On the way back, True Immortals had already laid an ambush to kill you. You knew this was the Heavenly Gang Immortal King's scheme against you, but you had no choice. You decisively killed the three True Immortals. Yet you did not die. You knew this was definitely not out of the Heavenly Gang Immortal King's goodwill but part of a deeper plot. You also had enemies in the Main God Space from the past, so you chose not to return.

Years passed like a flowing river.

Even though you lay low for countless epochs and planned to continue doing so, the heavens were unpredictable. The Heavenly Gang Immortal King's plan was ultimately exposed, drawing the descent of Immortal Kings from across the myriad heavens. The Lord of the Fourth Scourge had not died either. Instead, he had replaced the Supreme Severing Fortune Immortal King and recovered to the quasi-Immortal Emperor realm. Facing a battle only Immortal Kings could participate in, you were powerless and could only watch as a spectator.

Just as the Heavenly Gang Immortal King was about to succeed, you discovered that the real Supreme Severing Fortune Immortal King had not died. He had hidden a trace of his aura within your body. You decisively severed your connection with the Main God Space to allow his revival. Ever since Oriental Cloud Star had made a deal with the Supreme Severing Fortune Immortal King, both he and you had fallen into the Immortal King's calculations, becoming the cover for his escape by shedding his shell.

The Supreme Severing Fortune Immortal King's true target had been the Lord of Scourge's Dao fruit. You inwardly marveled that no Immortal King was simple. The world was filled with struggle and schemes. There was no escape, no place to hide. Even lying low at the ends of the earth was useless.

However, the Heavenly Gang Immortal King was even more powerful than you imagined. Even when surrounded by many Immortal Kings and a quasi-Immortal Emperor, he chose in desperation to take you with him and sink the spacetime.

You died.

In this life, before becoming an immortal you were the legendary demonic lord of the myriad heavens. After becoming an immortal, you lived cautiously in seclusion. In the war of the myriad heavens, although you were not the main force in the encirclement, your existence completely changed the outcome of the war and caused the Heavenly Gang Immortal King to fail at the final step. You died, yet you became an indispensable link in interrupting a quasi-Immortal Emperor's path to advancement.]

Evaluation: Five Stars (Red)

Reward: 5,000,000 Reverse Fate Points

Five million Reverse Fate Points.

Su Chen sighed softly. In this life, he had still avoided causing major trouble. His greatest claim to fame was probably interrupting the Heavenly Gang Immortal King's path to becoming an Immortal Emperor.

The road from True Immortal to Immortal King was far too long. It could not be achieved overnight.

Su Chen calmed himself. His current accumulation was already deep and solid enough.

"Perhaps I should try accumulating some Reverse Fate Points first."

Su Chen had no intention of going all in again. The cost-effectiveness was not high for him right now.

Talent: 10,000

Comprehension: 1,000,000

Background: 10,000

Su Chen only spent one million and twenty thousand Reverse Fate Points. If he could walk out another immortal path, it would be a huge gain. If he failed, the loss would not be significant. He could treat it as tempering his Dao Heart.

Su Chen opened the Reverse Fate Scripture.

...

Su Chen opened his eyes. He began to examine the memories in his mind.

"Hmm?"

This time he was once again born in a small world.

Background worth ten thousand points: a declining Quasi-Emperor orthodox lineage. Talent worth ten thousand points: a divine body genius of the declining Quasi-Emperor lineage, highly valued. Comprehension worth one million points: an absolute genius.

What surprised Su Chen was that the terrifying war across the myriad heavens had already ended. In the current world, he could not sense the aura of any immortal positions.

"Something else must have happened after that great battle."

Although curious, Su Chen did not dwell on it. Whatever had happened had nothing to do with him for now. Once his cultivation rose, all mysteries would gradually be revealed.

Su Chen began searching his mind for a suitable cultivation method. With his experience, he could reach the Emperor extreme by re-cultivating any technique. The restrictions of the world could no longer hinder him.

Su Chen started converting the foundation of his cultivation. The moment he began cultivating, he suddenly felt a massive, terrifying force descend upon him from the unseen depths.

Before he could look up, he opened his eyes again—only to find himself back in the Reverse Fate Space.

Chapter 389: Life and Death Reincarnation (Part 2)

He had died again.

This was the first time Su Chen had encountered such a situation. In all previous reincarnations, no matter how difficult the starting point, there had always been a slim chance of survival.

This time, there had not even been a sliver of hope. He had not even understood what happened.

Su Chen quickly calmed himself. After so many reincarnations, it was not impossible for an accident to occur. He opened the Reverse Fate Scripture.

The description in the Reverse Fate Scripture was extremely concise.

[Twentieth Life: You awakened your memories and prepared to make a big move.

You died.

Your life was as light as a feather.

Evaluation: Zero Stars (White)

Reward: 0 Reverse Fate Points]

One million and twenty thousand Reverse Fate Points vanished in an instant. It would be a lie to say Su Chen did not feel heartache.

"Perhaps I was simply unlucky and caught in the aftershocks of a battle between powerhouses."

Su Chen speculated on why he had perished so quickly this life. Even the Reverse Fate Scripture had recorded nothing about it.

After a brief moment of heartache, Su Chen decided to begin the next life. Having experienced the twentieth life, he did not rush this time.

Talent: 10,000

Comprehension: 100,000

Background: 10,000

Su Chen invested one hundred and twenty thousand Reverse Fate Points. With his ability, recovering the lost million would not be difficult.

With that thought, Su Chen turned to the next page of the Reverse Fate Scripture.

...

Verdant mountains and clear waters, a blessed land and immortal cave.

Su Chen's background in this life was not much different from the previous one. His starting comprehension was weaker. The countless techniques and divine abilities in his mind, which he had clearly mastered before, now felt obscure and profound. Even if he could fully comprehend them, it would take considerable time. This feeling left Su Chen somewhat unaccustomed.

However, with his current Dao Heart, this discomfort was quickly swept away.

"I didn't die... The previous life was probably just an accident."

Su Chen felt relieved.

Just as he prepared to return and continue cultivating, everything went black before his eyes.

...

Inside the Reverse Fate Space, Su Chen looked at the familiar surroundings. Only one thought remained in his mind.

"Again? This is definitely not a coincidence."

He had been erased twice in a row.

Su Chen was certain that something was deliberately targeting him. The Reverse Fate Scripture could sever the karma of the previous life. Even so, he had still died.

"Could the problem lie with the cultivation method?"

Su Chen pondered. He needed to verify his suspicions step by step.

Su Chen opened the next page of the Reverse Fate Scripture once more.

Twenty-Second Life

...

In this life, after Su Chen awakened his memories, he did not rush to cultivate the techniques in his mind.

He tried practicing the family's cultivation method instead. With his experience, even the lowest technique would not limit his future achievements.

However, the moment Su Chen began to cultivate, he lost consciousness once more.

When he opened his eyes, he was back in the Reverse Fate Space.

"Someone is cutting off my path of cultivation! Who exactly is it? Could the Heavenly Gang Immortal King still be alive after that battle?"

Su Chen sensed danger. Even though the Reverse Fate Scripture had severed the karma from his previous life, an unfathomable powerhouse had locked onto him with great means and severed his path. As soon as he dared to cultivate, he would die instantly.

This was absolutely not good news for Su Chen. He needed to find a way to break the deadlock as quickly as possible.

Su Chen opened the Reverse Fate Scripture.

Talent: 500,000

Comprehension: 500,000

Background: 2,000,000

Su Chen decisively invested three million Reverse Fate Points. He had never invested so heavily into background before. With his current powerless state at rebirth, it was completely impossible for him to contend against an Immortal King or an even higher existence. To break the situation, he could only rely on external forces.

Twenty-Third Life

...

"?"

Su Chen opened his eyes. He even suspected there had been a mistake. Instead of an unfamiliar world, he found himself in a gray, hazy space. This space was not unfamiliar to him. It was the Reverse Fate Space.

What about his three million Reverse Fate Points reincarnation?

Su Chen opened the Reverse Fate Scripture.

[Twenty-Third Life: You were reincarnated and were still in swaddling clothes.

You died.

You left not even a trace in the world.

Evaluation: Zero Stars

Reward: 0 Reverse Fate Points]

More than four million Reverse Fate Points had yielded nothing. Even with Su Chen's composure, his mood sank to the bottom at this moment. This life, he had been directly located and erased before he even began cultivating.

In other words, the person behind the scenes could find him now without him even starting to cultivate.

[Reverse Fate Points: 965,000]

His Reverse Fate Points were now below one million. It still seemed like a lot.

Yet Su Chen felt an unprecedented crisis.

"The Great Dao is fifty, Heaven derives forty-nine, and one escapes. There must still be a slim chance of survival!"

Su Chen did not lose heart.

Su Chen continued turning the page of the Reverse Fate Scripture.

In this life, Su Chen opened his eyes.

He had reincarnated as a snow-white wild rabbit.

He died.

Su Chen refused to give up and started the next life.

He reincarnated into an ordinary farming family.

He died.

Su Chen remained expressionless and began the next life.

A lowly slave.

He died.

...

One life after another passed.

Su Chen gradually grew numb. The result was the same every time. Even in the best cases, he only lived for an hour before suddenly dying. Even with Su Chen's current Dao Heart, a sense of despair inevitably arose.

[Reverse Fate Points: 2313]

Yes. His Reverse Fate Points were nearly exhausted.

Su Chen did not know what would happen once they reached zero. But he knew it would not be good.

[Dao Heart: 10,000]

His Dao Heart had plummeted from eight hundred thousand. Life after life of despair made him deeply understand why so many True Immortals had fallen into ruin.

Looking at his Dao Heart, Su Chen smiled with self-mockery. It would not be long before he completely disappeared. Once he vanished, the person behind the scenes would probably achieve their goal.

By now, he understood clearly. The person behind the scenes was not simply trying to obstruct his path. They were waiting for his Reverse Fate Points to reach zero, severing his connection to the Reverse Fate Scripture, so they could replace him and take control of it. How ridiculous that he still did not even know who was scheming against him.

This was an almost unsolvable dead end that gave him no chance at all.

Su Chen continued investing Reverse Fate Points.

Talent: 1

Comprehension: 1

Background: 1

He turned the page of the Reverse Fate Scripture.

There are always variables in the unseen.

Would such a variable truly appear?

Su Chen did not know. But there should still be a slim chance of survival.

AN: The next update will be in three days.
