The World Crystal Wall of the Reincarnation Great Realm was entirely different from the universe's cosmic barrier. Overall, the cosmic barrier was formed by the universe's origin combined with its life-sustaining mechanisms; though called a barrier, it had no physical substance. However, the World Crystal Wall of the Reincarnation Great Realm was different; it was a solid, crystalline entity. The entire Reincarnation Great Realm existed within this spherical crystal, which shimmered with myriad colors, making it difficult even for Epoch Sovereigns to damage.
After approaching the World Crystal Wall, Nightfall Sovereign and Dark Sun Sovereign began trying to contact the Will of Reincarnation. Before they could even try, Fertility Sovereign's immortal memory had already passed through the World Crystal Wall.
"I will answer what you want to know, provided you help me reconstruct my immortal will and Reincarnation Saint Body." Fertility Sovereign directly stated her condition.
To restore a dying Epoch Sovereign to their peak required a significant price. Nightfall Sovereign and Dark Sun Sovereign could afford it but still began crowdfunding resources through the Destiny Network. Soon, the crowdfunded resources were sent to Fertility Sovereign via the Destiny Network. While recovering from her injuries, she uploaded everything she knew to the Destiny Network.
It turned out that the Will of Reincarnation had existed for fifteen hundred reincarnation epochs and had long ago discovered the Reincarnation Great Realm's immune system. Only by triggering the immune system could one obtain the five resources for transcending reincarnation. The origin of these five resources was unknown, but each appearance was accompanied by the activation of the immune system.
The first time the immune system activated, the Will of Reincarnation nearly perished. At that time, the legends of the End Disaster Beast didn't exist, and the Will of Reincarnation's experience was much better than theirs. However, without resolving the immune cells, the result would be the same. The Will of Reincarnation ultimately relied on destroying the Reincarnation Great Realm to activate the space-time reincarnation, causing the immune cells to vanish under the reversal of time and space.
The Will of Reincarnation saved Fertility Sovereign because she couldn't let the End Disaster Beast obtain the immortal memory. If the End Disaster Beast had the immortal memory, even restarting the Reincarnation Great Realm's space-time reincarnation wouldn't be able to erase it. The Will of Reincarnation spent hundreds of reincarnation epochs, activating the immune system hundreds of times. She finally obtained enough transcendence resources, allowing her to permanently transcend reincarnation rather than temporarily.
At that time, the Will of Reincarnation naturally wanted to leave the Reincarnation Great Realm, so she broke open the World Crystal Wall and entered. However, the World Crystal Wall's strength was not the same inside and out as imagined. The inner layer of the World Crystal Wall could be broken by someone who had transcended reincarnation, but the outer layer couldn't be broken even by them. The Will of Reincarnation was thus stuck inside the World Crystal Wall.
The Will of Reincarnation certainly considered retreating, but she discovered that the World Crystal Wall allowed entry but no exit. This was because when she tried to retreat, a higher-level immune system was activated. In desperation, the Will of Reincarnation could only remain trapped within the World Crystal Wall, continuing to control the authority of the Reincarnation Sovereign through her avatars.
The Will of Reincarnation created the immortal will system. Although she used Nightfall Sovereign and Dark Sun Sovereign, there was no malicious intent in essence, no intention of exploiting them. Instead, she hoped they could grow to the point of transcending reincarnation. If more transcendent beings cooperated, they could collectively pass through the outer layer of the World Crystal Wall. However, they grew too slowly, and the karma缠绕 on the Will of Reincarnation became weaker and weaker.
Finally, having no other choice, the Will of Reincarnation decided to make a desperate move and created the Primeval Universe. The Will of Reincarnation realized that relying on a few reincarnation lives would make it difficult for them to quickly transcend and help her, so she chose to gather the strength of the multitude. The noble system of the Primeval Universe had the guidance of the Will of Reincarnation's destiny reincarnation behind it.
Even the Book of Destiny Creation was a chess piece she laid out, with the ultimate goal of cultivating a suitable lord. Rosen was the existence chosen by the Will of Reincarnation. During this time, the Will of Reincarnation even created Apocalypse to send him out of Blue Star. Afterward, the Will of Reincarnation continued to guide him step by step, creating conditions that would allow him to quickly become a reincarnation life and a lord.
Under the guidance of the Will of Reincarnation, countless cosmic remnants were left in the Reincarnation Great Realm. On the surface, he was treated as a scapegoat to bear karma, but in reality, from beginning to end, he was destined to lead other Epoch Sovereigns to transcend reincarnation.
Rosen looked at the content uploaded by Fertility Sovereign, feeling skeptical while his murderous intent intensified. If what the Will of Reincarnation said was true, it meant he had been treated as a chess piece from start to finish. Although he gained countless benefits, no one whose fate was controlled by others could be happy. But his intuition also told him that the Will of Reincarnation had not told the complete truth. The reason was simple: some things were too superfluous and too easy to offend others. If the Will of Reincarnation truly wanted to cultivate him, there was no need to be secretive and make him harbor hatred and murderous intent towards her.
If she had simply shown him kindness directly, he wouldn't have been so ungrateful. So the Will of Reincarnation certainly didn't tell the whole truth, though the part about the immune system was likely real. Being trapped was also real, and needing help to leave the Reincarnation Great Realm might also be true.
Regardless of the truth, since they knew the way to resolve the immune cells was to destroy the Reincarnation Great Realm and activate space-time reincarnation, all Reincarnation Lords and Reincarnation Elect began to destroy universes without regard for the cost. Soon, the shimmering sea of stars that spanned across the galaxies dimmed once again.
However, the destruction of countless universes was merely the beginning of the Reincarnation Great Realm's destruction and reboot. The chain collapse of space-time required time. Even with the Reincarnation Lords accelerating the process, it would still take tens of thousands of years for the vast Reincarnation Great Realm's astonishing space-time scale to completely collapse. Moreover, in these last tens of thousands of years, as space-time collapsed, the safe zones within the Reincarnation Great Realm would shrink further and further.
With smaller safe zones, it would be easier for the End Disaster Beasts to hunt. Eventually, when the safe zones became too small to hide, all Reincarnation Lords could only desperately defend the Reincarnation Epoch Ancient Tree. In the first ten thousand years of space-time collapse, two billion Reincarnation Elect suffered heavy casualties. In the subsequent second ten thousand years, the Reincarnation Elect were almost entirely wiped out. In the third ten thousand years, the Reincarnation Lords suffered heavy casualties. By the fourth ten thousand years, the tens of thousands of surviving Reincarnation Lords could only desperately defend the Reincarnation Epoch Ancient Tree.
The Reincarnation Epoch Ancient Tree, rooted in the void, had countless roots tearing through space-time, accelerating its collapse. Tens of millions of Reincarnation End Disaster Beasts attacked the defense line, which the Reincarnation Lords had painstakingly built, from all directions. If it were only these End Disaster Beast offspring, it wouldn't have been enough to collapse the Reincarnation Lords' defense line.
After acquiring their Reincarnation Territories, every Reincarnation Lord was at least equivalent to a Reincarnation Dao Master. A single Reincarnation Dao Master could easily contend with three to five Reincarnation Realm Masters, and tens of thousands of Reincarnation Dao Masters cooperating could easily resist opponents dozens of times their number. If they were also desperately defending their Reincarnation Territories, it wouldn't be difficult to contend with Reincarnation Realm Masters hundreds of times their number. If these Reincarnation Realm Masters were also unintelligent beasts, they wouldn't fall into a disadvantage against a thousand times the number of End Disaster Beast offspring.
What truly caused the defense line to collapse were the End Disaster Beast mothers. Each of their attacks resulted in casualties among the Reincarnation Lords. This was despite the End Disaster Beasts not being skilled in combat, and their frantic reproduction having damaged their foundations. Due to severe depletion from excessive reproduction, the current End Disaster Beast mothers could only barely suppress Rosen and the other Epoch Sovereigns.
However, these were all just appearances; it would be too laughable if the Fertility Sovereign had such a major weakness. While frantic reproduction would indeed cause severe depletion, as the End Disaster Beast offspring were continuously killed, these offspring did not regenerate within the Reincarnation Lords. Instead, they transformed into black smoke and merged into the End Disaster Beast mothers, allowing their depleted origins to gradually recover to their original state.
The Fertility Sovereign's reproduction was, in essence, more like farming. She birthed offspring, waited for them to grow, and then waited for their deaths to return to her, similar to sowing seeds and growing a crop. When all tens of millions of End Disaster Beast offspring had fallen in battle, the sole remaining mother might even transform from temporary transcendence to permanent transcendence of reincarnation. If she achieved permanent transcendence, the Reincarnation Great Realm's space-time reincarnation would be powerless against the End Disaster Beast.
The battle had developed to this extent, even somewhat exceeding the Will of Reincarnation's predictions.
"Now we can only burn our bridges…" Rosen calculated and informed the others of his results through the Destiny Network, simultaneously issuing the final command.
All surviving Reincarnation Lords plucked cosmic fruits from the Reincarnation Epoch Ancient Tree. Then, at the cost of life and death reincarnation, they transformed all the cosmic vitality in their respective territories into cosmic death qi. Finally, they used the cosmic death qi to destroy their territories and strengthen space-time reincarnation. Tens of thousands of space-time reincarnations perfectly coordinated through the Destiny Network, indiscriminately enveloping the last uncollapsed space-time of the Reincarnation Great Realm.
With the destruction of one territory core after another, endless cosmic death qi instantly overwhelmed the last stable space-time. Even with the End Disaster Beasts' frantic attacks, it was too late to stop the collapse of space-time. After all, destruction was always easier than construction, especially when the Reincarnation Lords were willing to destroy their territory cores to survive.
The Reincarnation Great Realm's space-time reincarnation activated again, and everything was instantly frozen. As time began to flow backward, the collapsed space-time began to reform, the dead Reincarnation Lords began to revive, and the dead Reincarnation Elect also resurrected. Countless destroyed universes also recovered, and the number of End Disaster Beasts dwindled. The only thing that remained unchanged under the space-time reincarnation was the Reincarnation Epoch Ancient Tree, which had shrunk into a memory seed at the last moment.
As the Reincarnation Great Realm's space-time reversed to before the End Disaster Beasts' birth, the End Disaster Beasts were erased like phantoms. However, the transcendence resources within the End Disaster Beasts did not disappear because of this, only beginning to vanish little by little after the space-time reincarnation ended. However, before the transcendence resources completely vanished, Rosen and the others arrived in time and collectively divided them.
By permanently plundering cosmic vitality, then stimulating the Reincarnation Great Realm's immune system to produce immune cells, then seizing the first wave of transcendence resources, and finally getting entangled in the Reincarnation Great Realm's space-time reincarnation, they could also harvest a second wave of transcendence resources. In the first wave, Rosen and the others each harvested one portion of transcendence resources. They couldn't achieve permanent transcendence, at most only temporary transcendence.
In this second wave of harvesting, Rosen, controlling the revival of the memory seed, seized the initiative and obtained nine portions. Nightfall Sovereign and the others were a step slower, getting seven portions, and Fertility Sovereign, who had died once and suffered heavy losses, only managed to get three portions.
All the transcendence resources combined amounted to only fifty-four portions. This quantity was more than what the Will of Reincarnation had harvested back then, but the danger posed by the End Disaster Beasts was also far greater. One portion of transcendence resources was enough for temporary transcendence, but permanent transcendence required at least three thousand portions. Even Rosen, with the largest harvest, would need at least three hundred reincarnation epochs to obtain such a quantity.
The problem was that in only one of those three hundred reincarnation epochs, the casualties were already exceptionally severe. Without two billion Reincarnation Elect and a hundred thousand Reincarnation Lords risking their lives to fight, the eight Epoch Sovereigns alone would not have been a match for the End Disaster Beasts. If the immune system had a memory mechanism, the End Disaster Beasts might target these Epoch Sovereigns next time. At that point, let alone harvesting transcendence resources, merely surviving to the third reincarnation epoch would likely be a miracle.
To restore the Reincarnation Lords' losses, it would take at least one full reincarnation epoch of long-term development. This meant that, theoretically, Rosen would need at least six hundred reincarnation epochs to transcend reincarnation. Moreover, a crucial issue had to be resolved: Reincarnation Lords were not self-sacrificing saints. In the last reincarnation epoch, they fought desperately because they were pushed to the brink with no retreat. Now that they had finally recovered their losses in this reincarnation epoch, they would never again act as cannon fodder in the next one, even if it meant death. In fact, if these Epoch Sovereigns wanted to activate the immune system again, all the council members would stand against them.
Rosen could understand these points, and Nightfall Sovereign and the others were no exception. Therefore, as they looked at the transcendence resources in their hands, they all felt a headache about the predicament they faced next.
"Making the Lords and Elect risk their lives for our transcendence, repeatedly, is simply impossible…" Rosen mused for a moment, then said, "No one will be willing to risk their lives for someone else's transcendence, but they will certainly be willing to risk their lives for their own transcendence. Isn't this what the Will of Reincarnation expects? Our individual transcendence is impossible; the only option is collective transcendence."
Hearing "collective transcendence," Nightfall Sovereign and the others looked towards the Reincarnation Epoch Ancient Tree. In the Reincarnation Lord extraordinary system, the Reincarnation Epoch Ancient Tree was the core. Rosen was the highest authority controller of the Reincarnation Epoch Ancient Tree, but not the sole authority controller. The most central public territory was under the control of all Reincarnation Lords. If all Reincarnation Territories were integrated into the public territory, it would undoubtedly strengthen the Reincarnation Lords' control over the Reincarnation Epoch Ancient Tree.
However, this also meant being completely constrained by others, meaning that from then on, they would either prosper or suffer together. Ultimately, it would lead to all Reincarnation Lords not transcending reincarnation themselves, but instead uniting to allow the Reincarnation Epoch Ancient Tree to successfully transcend reincarnation. This was indeed a good method, not only significantly shortening the time needed for transcendence but also allowing all Reincarnation Lords and Reincarnation Elect to see common interests, thereby willingly becoming cannon fodder. However, this also meant that these Epoch Sovereigns had no hope of transcendence themselves.
They had finally seen an opportunity for transcendence, only to have to give it up to a tree like the Reincarnation Epoch Ancient Tree? Nightfall Sovereign and the others felt uncomfortable no matter how they thought about it, but besides this, they couldn't come up with any better solution.
After reaching a consensus, Rosen and the others began to help all Reincarnation Lords revive. Some Reincarnation Lords had their true bodies killed but their Reincarnation Territories survived; they had to rely on their Reincarnation Territories and their original universes to revive. Others had their Reincarnation Territories destroyed, but their true bodies survived by hiding in the public territory at the last moment. These Reincarnation Lords needed to re-create their Reincarnation Territories, otherwise, without a territory, they would be reduced to Reincarnation Elect.
This time, no one was in a hurry to plunder universes. The Reincarnation Great Realm began to develop normally after the space-time reincarnation. A full three hundred million years passed before all Reincarnation Lords were fully restored, and all Reincarnation Elect were successively born in various universes, then collectively joined to become Reincarnation Elect. Although their status was not as high as the Lords, they would still have the opportunity to transcend alongside the Reincarnation Epoch Ancient Tree in the future.
Over the long epochs of reincarnation, possessing immortal memory had both advantages and disadvantages. While retaining memories of past lives certainly meant not forgetting cherished memories, one reincarnation epoch lasted three hundred billion years. After multiple reincarnation epochs, there were fewer and fewer untouched places in the Reincarnation Great Realm, and fewer and fewer new experiences. Eventually, after losing interest in everything, the Reincarnation Great Realm became a giant cage.
There were always others better, always realms beyond. Even knowing that transcending might lead to death, or to becoming a lower-tier being in a new world, why still transcend? It was nothing more than to escape the cage and find a greater sense of existence. Under normal circumstances, ordinary reincarnation lifeforms could only be trapped and perish in the Reincarnation Great Realm. Possessing immortal memory initially brought infinite benefits, but ultimately, it could evolve into endless torment. Some reincarnation lifeforms with immortal memories couldn't endure this torment, preferring to destroy their immortal memories and continue to be puppets whose memories and karma were reset each reincarnation epoch, rather than face an eternal prison without any hope.
Now, the existence of the Reincarnation Epoch Ancient Tree finally gave all reincarnation lifeforms hope. Naturally, all reincarnation lifeforms banded together and worked in concert. Even if some individuals initially didn't want to cooperate, they could only be swept along by the general trend, advancing and retreating together. For those truly unyielding reincarnation lifeforms, they could choose to commit suicide or be killed.
