Chapter 1385: “Life Reincarnation Between Different Forms”
As the Earth Vein God Emperor appeared in the realm of the Human Cultivation Trial Ruins and expressed his stance, the clash between the Human Race’s Mother Earth Deity faith and the Perfect Being faith momentarily came to a close.
However, the entire Void began to stir with hidden currents. Compared to the unknown Human Cultivation Trial Ruins, more forces turned their attention to the God-slaying Artifact—Echo of the Casket—which was found in the ruins.
This God-slaying Artifact, in the hands of its previous user, did not gain any notoriety in the Void.
As the holder stated: his fame was still overshadowed by that of his weapon.
Now, with the Echo of the Casket once again without an owner—at least as they perceived it—many people felt their thoughts becoming more active.
This was a God-slaying Artifact with an exceptionally terrifying offensive trait!
Who wouldn’t be tempted by it?
Even though the Perfect Being Saints had already declared it the possession of the Perfect Witch and needed to be retrieved, many still harbored ulterior motives.
The Void is not a place where reason prevails; every word spoken by anyone becomes meaningless if not backed by sufficient power!
Those completely entranced by the term “God-slaying Artifact” had utterly ceased to think about anything else.
For instance… once the holder dies, the God-slaying Artifact would exhibit this characteristic of being offered as a Void Sacrifice.
Yet, many were still disappointingly restrained; this did not mean they were not coveting the God-slaying Artifact.
After all, it was right there.
Regardless of whether this implied the Perfect Witch was indeed alive, at the very least, they could not see any trace of her here.
Greed can lead the weak and ignorant to perform many unimaginable actions.
Until the God-slaying Artifact “Zero Nine” personally rose from the casket, wielding its sickle to kill all who coveted it, only then did everyone realize one thing.
Some things, even if the holder is “gone,” are still beyond their delusions!
The Perfect Being believers then negotiated with “Zero Nine,” taking this “God of Death” away.
This action caused countless onlookers to gnash their teeth with envy.
However, there was nothing they could do about it.
The combat strength of the Perfect Being believers had already been demonstrated; the Saints of the Mother Earth Deity faith within the Human Emperor faction personally served as the whetstone, a testament to their caliber.
As long as the World Core was not in play, capturing the Perfect Being faith would inevitably come at a high cost.
Furthermore, the reason there were not too many objections to their taking the Echo of the Casket was that no one knew if any of the Perfect Saints could use it.
The offensive God-slaying Artifact had a record of withstanding the World Core, which meant that the Perfect Saints wielding the God-slaying Artifact could even face other faith orders holding the World Core without fear!
Many speculated that the Echo of the Casket was a protective charm left by the Perfect Witch for the Perfect Being believers.
That would allow them to establish a foothold in the Void and ensure that their reputation would garner them nearly endless benefits—even if how to use it would depend on their operational capabilities.
Moreover, the Perfect Believers firmly believed that the Perfect Witch had not died, and upon her return, she would surely advance further!
No one could dispute this.
After all, they had no means to prove that the Perfect Witch was dead, and if she could face such complete death without fear, then indeed, upon her return, she could be said to have made further progress.
At this moment, within an emergency meeting of the Perfect Saints.
A gathering of core members of the Perfect Being faith, specifically those who had signed the Saint Contract with the Perfect Witch, had convened.
Now, there was an additional figure among them—Zero Nine.
As the God-slaying Artifact held by the Perfect Witch, Zero Nine’s birth was filled with extreme coincidence and surprise.
However, Millien and the other core members were not unfamiliar with it.
In usual times, she quietly lay within the casket, holding her sickle in a pose akin to a brooch, resting at Sister Xiao Han’s chest.
Thus, although the Saints were aware of her existence, communication was scarce.
Even now, they could sense that “Zero Nine” did not speak much.
After some preliminary communication, they could only gather basic information from the casket.
For instance, the question they were most concerned about: Was Sister Xiao Han actually alive?
Zero Nine’s answer was: No.
Upon receiving this answer, everyone let out a sigh of relief, although they remained very worried about the unknown survival.
Moreover, the subsequent messages revealed by Zero Nine also raised concerns among the witches.
Because Zero Nine stated that her current stage was such that she could perform a Void Sacrifice at any moment, plunging into an unknown corner of the Void.
This meant that the relationship between Zero Nine and Sister Xiao Han had reached a level where a Void Sacrifice could be performed, though Zero Nine was different from ordinary God-slaying Artifacts.
She had been endowed with “life,” which gave her choices regarding contracts.
Her awareness of Sister Xiao Han’s life and death transcended the feedback of the contract and manifested as an instinctive sense.
She could not even define whether Sister Xiao Han was alive; she could only say that Sister Xiao Han “seemed” to still exist.
The manner of her existence was unknown to her, and as a weapon with a master, she could not even return to her owner’s hands!
However, as speculated by the outside world.
The presence of Zero Nine was not mere coincidence.
As a God-slaying Artifact with independent consciousness, the terrifying nature of her combat instincts was something those sages who died before the Human Cultivation Trial Ruins could attest to.
The essence of life would be absorbed into the casket, nourishing Zero Nine, effectively meaning that they were thoroughly dead.
Thus, Zero Nine became a trump card within the Perfect Being faith to intimidate others, though Zero Nine was somewhat reluctant about it.
As the meeting concluded, the Perfect Being faith order also undertook significant actions.
Though Zero Nine did not say much, she conveyed substantial information to Millien and the others.
For example… urging them to increase their investment in the Human Cultivation Trial Ruins, and the search for Sister Bai, etc.
Additionally, there was a return to the Main World.
Because there were two life clones left by Sister Xiao Han!
The existence of life clones transcended any known form of cloning; Sister Xiao Han had emphasized more than once that as long as the life clone was not dead, she could never be completely gone.
Although they could not understand this, it was all they had left in terms of clues, especially since, in their minds, Sister Xiao Han’s life clones were as reliable as Sister Xiao Han herself!
Regarding the search for Sister Xiao Han, Millien naturally took it upon herself.
However, before leaving for the Main World, she had many issues to handle.
For instance, the strategic collaboration with Sister Xiao Han, representing Albert from the Eye of Truth Void Observation Station, and maintaining relations with powerful forces associated with the witch race.
The Blade Forging Pavilion, various cooperative partners, and… the personal greeting from Lady Vanguard under the War Truth Witch.
At this point, the identities of those arriving were increasingly distinguished.
And their primary concern was undoubtedly the situation regarding the Perfect Witch.
No one wished to see a new star, destined to rise in the Void, fall so quickly.
Of course, not everyone brought friendly greetings; some conveyed news of canceled collaborations.
However, this was already inconsequential for the Perfect Being faith.
It merely preemptively eliminated some unstable collaborators and fence-sitters.
Such trivial matters were hardly worth mentioning in comparison to the grand task of “finding Sister Xiao Han”!
The news of the Perfect Witch’s self-destructive fate had gradually spread from the Land of Origins out into the Void.
As if fulfilling that saying, “that Saint is about to undertake a matter that will shake the Void.”
This indeed was a significant event.
After all, the Perfect Witch also served as a label for the Human Cultivation Reboot era.
Her “passing” was bound to influence many people’s views on Human Cultivation, and it could even lead many to hold a pessimistic attitude regarding the path of Human Cultivation.
Unbeknownst to many, they had failed to notice that in some special realms, the Perfect Witch’s influence on the Human Cultivation path had gradually surpassed that of the Earth Vein God Emperor.
Her “death” could even lead people to lose confidence in the path of Human Cultivation.
Even though the Earth Vein God Emperor was vigorously promoting the development of this era, they selectively ignored all of this.
And the most shaken among them were undoubtedly the witch race.
Perhaps in the beginning, many witches felt a twinge of envy and jealousy toward the rise of the Perfect Witch, with many holding an indifferent attitude toward it.
After all, the old-school witches preferred the development of spells; magic and magic power were the mainstream among witches.
Human Cultivation?
Elegant witches disdain speaking with their fists.
However, after the news of the Perfect Witch’s death emerged, many witches instantly changed their attitudes.
After all, without the “competitor,” any witch who made significant contributions to the witch race quickly garnered the respect of all witches.
The Perfect Witch had opened and completed the power puzzle of Human Cultivation for the witch race, leaving behind a valuable “legacy.”
Moreover, it was freely accessible! (Most importantly)
Who could possibly resent such a selfless witch?
Some groups of witches even began to advocate for the Primordial Witch to posthumously confer the title of “Honorary Perfect Truth Witch” upon the Perfect Witch.
To this, the Primordial Witch decisively sent these idle witches packing with her remark.
“Sister Xiao Han isn’t dead yet; what are you conferred for? Instead of wasting time here, you might as well contribute to the construction of the witch race.”
Although this speech was somewhat impulsive, all the witches understood that this was the Primordial Witch’s character.
However, the statement “Sister Xiao Han isn’t dead” coming from the Primordial Witch was weighty enough to silence all witches; no one dared to question the Primordial Witch’s words.
In fact, due to the Primordial Witch’s comment, many extraordinary forces in the Void also reached a consensus regarding this incident, believing that the Perfect Witch had not died.
Subsequent plans targeting the Perfect Being faith were also halted.
After all, if the Perfect Witch were to “die and return” for a major reckoning later on, a well-founded revenge might be something even the Nine Monarchs of the Void could not prevent.
If they had the backing of the War Truth Witch, it would be completely disastrous.
After all, for the witch race, once a witch reached a certain level and height, a characteristic would naturally emerge: “protectiveness.”
Witches with such stature had their perspectives, standing points, and positions aligned with the entire race, making it difficult for differences in ideology and conflicts of interest to sway their thoughts and awakenings.
Viewing any witch as a younger generation, this protectiveness arose from the heart.
In an unknown realm.
Everything here was another extreme of the Void: Nullity.
Although many beings believed that the Void was a formless nothingness, the Void itself is inherently “existence.”
The cornerstone of existence is the characteristics of the Void, and the aggregation of these characteristics gave rise to the World Prim.
They were like redundancies of existence in the Void, omnipresent within it.
But here, it was different.
What filled the nullity was not existence.
Rather, it was formless and intangible energy, constituting the foundation of the nullity.
If it could be said that within the Void, the World Prim could not be destroyed,
Then within this nullity, energy shared the same characteristic.
Energy is the cornerstone of everything here, as if it were two sides of the same coin with the Void itself.
They achieved a special and subtle balance and imbalance with one another.
And it was in such a place.
Within the nullity, boundless energy began to “shift” under the convergence of a special “power.”
It was as if the entire nullity, amidst disordered energies and the endless probabilities, facilitated a miracle.
That was the initial formation of life within the nullity.
Beneath that “sense of life,” “I” was born.
The birth of life triggered ripples in the energy of the nullity, much like a droplet of rain disrupting the stillness of calm lake waters.
Countless entities that could not even be defined as life within the Void were drawn by the “energy.”
They had consciousness, pursued benefits and avoided harm, and possessed the instinctual need for “survival” to maintain their existence.
They gathered upon hearing the news.
Observing the newly born “strange life,” these “energy clusters” expressed inherent confusion.
They had never encountered such oddly shaped “life,” as if it were not an existence of the nullity.
Until a certain boundary was crossed.
A “perception” differentiated the five senses, and the formation of life gradually perfected itself, with the structure representing sight opening its “eyes” for the first time.
Here, everywhere was the light emitted by the “energy,” spreading along the medium of energy space, rendering everything blank.
Blank to the point of being devoid of substance.
Moreover, more importantly: there was also Real Time here!
Through the perception of Real Time, I saw that I seemed to be surrounded by many things.
Those were “emotions” I had never seen before.
They were also “desires” I had never encountered.
And they were feelings I had never witnessed before.
Everything here transcended my understanding; it was all so novel.
At the very moment I formed “myself.”
Life structured around the awakening talent of a Perfect Being appeared in this unknown place, unveiling a whole new possibility.
My sense of life was successfully validated here, leading to an entirely new revelation—”Life Reincarnation Between Different Forms!”
