Chapter 317: Fallen
“Reincarnator?” Tianyi asked. He could feel his inner universe tremble from the shock of hearing the term from Sect Master Xia, but outwardly, he showed no signs of knowing anything. “You mean souls who have gone through the Six Paths of Samara and gained new life?”
“You’re only partly right,” Sect Master Xia said as he waved his hand.
Tianyi’s eyes narrowed. Sect Master Xia didn’t just activate the barrier of his abode, but it also severed the Heavenly Dao’s omnipresence in the room. He had never noticed that the sect master’s mansion had such a feature.
“Reincarnators are souls that have gained new life in the myriad realms, but they have never gone through the Six Paths of Samsara,” Sect Master Xia stood up and held his arms behind his back. “They didn’t originate from the Three Thousand Realms System, but outside.”
Tianyi didn’t show much surprise since it was something he had already suspected. “I know that there should be other systems besides our Three Thousand Realms System. Are you saying that these reincarnators came from these?”
“No,” Sect Master Xia said. “These reincarnators are special, and they didn’t come from another system but a different universe.”
Tianyi furrowed his brows. “Another universe?”
The Three Thousand Realms System wasn’t considered a universe but a location within the universe. He hadn’t seen it himself, but according to the records he was privy to, outside the Three Thousand Immortal Realms System, outside the Vast Void, was the endless darkness. The endless darkness was a gigantic universe where everything existed.
The only other example of a universe Tianyi could think of was himself. “Sect Master Xia means something like my Nine Heavens Universe?”
Sect Master Xia nodded. “Do you know the Almighty?”
“I heard about it in the other timeline,” Tianyi said as he recalled Sitian’s, the former Youdu Spirit of the Silent Lightning Timeline, words. “I heard he was the most powerful divinity that required several pantheons to ally themselves to fight.”
“Little Xi’s information is quite good,” Sect Master Xia said with some surprise. “These reincarnators are souls from the Almighty’s universe. They didn’t just enter the Three Thousand Immortal Realms System but the other systems ruled by other pantheons.”
Tianyi connected the dots. “You mean the Almighty is like me and formed a universe?!”
‘Doesn’t this mean I also have the potential to become as powerful as the Almighty?’ Tianyi thought with some excitement. ‘Wait, why would souls leak from the Almighty’s universe? Although I haven’t created any life or souls, I instinctively know that they carry part of my universe’s essence, and letting them leave my universe is not good.’
‘Before that, doesn’t this also mean my origin is from the Almighty’s Universe?’ A shocking thought occurred to Tianyi. What if the apocalypse wasn’t just happening on Earth but the whole universe? “The Almighty is dead?”
Sect Master Xia nodded. “Yes, the Almighty died. That’s why all these reincarnators suddenly started to appear. Although they may possess good spiritual roots or physiques for cultivation, they all have one common feature, and that’s a powerful comprehension ability of the laws. That’s why we called them the Almighty’s Children.”
“Wait,” Tianyi stopped Sect Master Xia from talking. “Before that, how did the Almighty die? I thought he was powerful to the point that he required the alliance of numerous pantheons. Unless the alliance successfully killed him, and that’s why the primordial era ended?”
Although Sitian had told him about the Almighty, it seemed that he didn’t know everything. Upon deeper thought, Tianyi understood. Sitian wasn’t the original Youdu Spirit from the Primordial Era, but a new one birthed after, so it wasn’t strange that he didn’t know everything.
“No, the Almighty survived the Primordial Era but was injured like our pantheon,” Sect Master Xia said.
‘Tsk, tsk. I thought Caishen knew a lot, but apparently, he’s still so useless.’ Tianyi thought. “Was he injured by the devils?”
“Not just the Almighty, but all the pantheon had allied together to repel the devils. While we warred with the Almighty, the devils had silently gained power,” Sect Master Xia shook his head. “Many divinities perished during the war, resulting in the current weakened Three Thousand Immortal Realms System.”
Sect Master Xia smiled. “Originally, I wasn’t supposed to tell you, but with your current strength, it shouldn’t be a problem. But back to the main point, reincarnators.”
Tianyi also nodded. “For what reason did Sect Master Xia bring them up?”
“It’s thanks to the Three Lives Stone,” Sect Master Xia. “It’s a divine artifact that records all life in the Three Thousand Immortal Realms System. With it, we have already discovered how many experts the Tripartite and Anti-Heaven Alliance has.
Not just the forces in the Huang Realm, but even the Numinous Sword Sect.”
Tianyi frowned and tapped his finger on the table. “Is there anything else?”
“No,” Sect Master Xia said, shaking his head.
“Then, I’ll return.”
Without waiting for Sect Master Xia to react, Tianyi’s Past Incarnation disappeared. Sect Master Xia shook his head and sipped his tea.

“Is something wrong?”
In Nine Heavens Palace, Tianyi looked at Mengfei. He opened his mouth, but no words came out.
“It’s nothing,” Tianyi finally said.
Mengfei walked closer until her face was centimeters away and stared at Tianyi’s face. He almost backed away from the short distance. “I-Is there something wrong?”
“No, I just wanted to take a closer look,” Mengfei said.
Tianyi only nervously laughed. After managing to convince Mengfei to back off, he focused on his Nine Heavens Universe. In Ninth Heaven, an incarnation of Tianyi appeared in front of Daoyi.
Daoyi opened her eyes, “Is something wrong?”
Tianyi ran his fingers through his hair. “Sect Master Xia and the Concealed Emperor know about our status as reincarnators.”
He explained how and why, causing Daoyi to say, “Wow, you really shot yourself in the foot.”
“How was I supposed to know the Three Lives Stone would cause this?”
“Well, it’s not a bad thing,” Daoyi said. “With the Almighty dead, the sect shouldn’t be too wary of us, and having our identities revealed isn’t necessarily a bad thing. At least we don’t have to be so careful anymore.”
“We don’t have to be so careful, but we still have to be wary of the sect,” Tianyi said. He closed his eyes and recalled how Immortal Court Spirit destroyed the Huang Realm in the Silent Lightning Timeline. “From now on, you shouldn’t leave too far from me.”
Daoyi didn’t tease Tianyi but asked why.
Tianyi sighed. “It’s not something I can explain. I’m going to create another conduit. It won’t be as strong as my current body, but it will have the ability to transport you into my inner universe in case anything happens.”
“I understand, but you should also explain to me why you’re so wary of the Buzhou Immortal Sect,” Daoyi said.
Tianyi stared Daoyi in the eyes. “And if I don’t?”
Daoyi raised an eyebrow. “Do you think you have a choice?”
After a tense minute, Tianyi sighed and plopped down next to Daoyi. “Alright, alright, you win.”
After hearing what happened in the Silent Lightning Timeline before entering the Nether Realm, even Daoyi was stunned. Finally, she also sighed. “No wonder. If you are making a conduit, what about Master and Xi Ri?”
“I’m also in the process of making a conduit for them to carry on themselves,” Tianyi said. “They’re actually already created, but I want to increase their strength a bit. With three conduits present, all three’s strength will be reduced, but luckily, I made a breakthrough recently, so it shouldn’t be a problem.”
“The stronger we grow, the more trouble we seem to have,” Daoyi said. “According to your hypothesis, Earth should have undergone an apocalypse because the Almighty died. I had originally wanted to return.”
Tianyi allowed himself to fall onto his back and stared at the ceiling of Concealed Palace. “On Earth, we would get into more trouble once we become adults. But in the Huang Realm, the stronger we grow, the more troublesome things are.”
