Six Lifetimes of Reincarnation

One year later.

Inside the secret room, two figures sat facing each other.

It's been a whole year.

The 365 days in the outside world are stretched to hundreds of years in the Reincarnation Realm.

Tang San and Ye Lingling lived six lives in that chaotic and boundless space-time of souls, with different identities and in different worlds.

In their first reincarnation, they were born into ordinary families in two neighboring villages. In this life, they had no Soul Power, no Martial Soul, only the most ordinary human life. From taking their first steps to working in the fields, from marrying as young men to having many children, they finally returned to dust in their seventies, living an ordinary life.

In their second reincarnation, they were born in a prosperous city. Tang San was a spoiled brat who squandered his wealth until his family fell into ruin. He met Ye Lingling when he was at his lowest point, and the two relied on each other in the slums, but in the end, they succumbed to illness in their forties.

In their third reincarnation, they were born into a family of generals. Tang San was a general, Ye Lingling was his wife. The two of them eventually died on the battlefield in their forties due to the destruction of their country and family.

In their fourth reincarnation, they were born in a remote town. Tang San was a pharmacist, Ye Lingling was his wife whom he had brought back from elsewhere. The two ran a small pharmacy in town. When a plague struck, Tang San, overworked and ill, passed away before he was even fifty years old.

In their fifth reincarnation, they were born in a small seaside town. Tang San was a fisherman, and they lived a monotonous life, going out to sea day after day, weaving nets, and repairing fishing boats. These mere sixty-odd years were both a long and a short life.

In their sixth reincarnation, they were born in the same ancient village. Tang San was a blacksmith, Ye Lingling was his wife. He lived the longest of his life, eventually passing away peacefully in his eighties.

Six lives, six identities, six completely different journeys.

Ye Lingling always stayed by his side, being his wife in every lifetime, never leaving him.

No matter what their identities are, the two always manage to meet in the crowd and end up together.

Each time is a complete journey from birth to death, each time carrying a different identity, different circumstances, and different joys and sorrows.

In those lives, Tang San experienced poverty and wealth, war and peace, excitement and loneliness, youth and old age, health and illness.

He is no longer just "Tang San"; he was once a farmer, a prodigal son, a general, a herbalist, a fisherman, and a craftsman.

That cycle of life and death, and death and life again, was like an endless tide, constantly washing over his soul.

But each cycle of reincarnation makes their souls more profound and resilient.

Those things that once left scars on his heart became acceptable and embracing after six complete lives.

They learned to maintain hope in despair, to stay clear-headed in pain, to exercise restraint in joy, and to remain calm in the face of death.

Six complete lives, like six forging processes, tempered their souls, making them increasingly pure and resilient.

Tang San slowly opened his eyes.

The feeling of being suddenly pulled away from a long life made him momentarily disoriented.

He can still clearly remember every detail of his previous life.

These marks made his soul deeper and richer.

Ye Lingling slowly opened her eyes.

She quickly recognized the familiar face in front of her, and a slow smile curved her lips.

Neither of them spoke immediately.

Tang San felt the vast and tranquil space within his sea of consciousness.

The core that carried the soul was more resilient and solid than before, with two faint rings of light flowing around its edges.

A ring of emerald green and a ring of dark purple flowed slowly across the core surface.

Life and destruction achieved a deeper balance in his soul.

Just then, a solemn and familiar voice rang in his mind.

"The Life and Destruction Dual Divine Test, the Second Trial: complete the cycle of life and death, and pass. Affinity with the Life God increases by 10%, affinity with the God of Destruction increases by 10%, and total affinity increases by 20%."

The second oracle followed immediately.

"The Third Trial: Life Sowing and Destruction Harvesting."

"Using your life essence and destructive power as the core, return to the Douluo Continent, sow one hundred Seed of Life, and reap the souls of one hundred villains."

"The Seed of Life needs to be gathered with its own Life Force, planted in the soil, so that it can take root, sprout, and grow into a complete plant."

"The Harvest of Destruction requires you to use the destructive power honed in the Abyss of Destruction to personally slay one hundred heinous villains whose hands are stained with the blood of the innocent. Every soul harvested must be an object whose crimes you have personally confirmed and whose judgment you have personally carried out."

"The two tasks can be performed simultaneously or separately, but both must be completed to pass the Third Trial. There is no time limit."

The divine message gradually faded away, and Tang San's pupils contracted slightly.

Sow a hundred Seed of Life? Harvest the souls of a hundred villains?

The content of the assessment made him frown slightly.

He understands the significance of sowing the Seed of Life, spreading the Life Force across the Douluo Continent, and allowing those polluted, damaged, and abandoned lands to regain their vitality.

This is the Life God's test of "creation".

But the task of harvesting the souls of a hundred villains... left him with a subtle dilemma.

It wasn't because he was soft-hearted, but because this role of "judge" made him feel like a law enforcer standing on a moral high ground.

He doesn't like playing the role of someone who is superior and judges the life and death of others.

But then Tang San thought again, he wouldn't hesitate to kill those who were truly guilty of heinous crimes.

Tang San killed the Wolf Bandits he had encountered in the Northern Border, the villains who slaughtered villages, and the Fallen Soul Masters who took pleasure in killing without the slightest hesitation.

Ye Lingling, who was standing nearby, also received the divine decree at the same time.

"Healing God Trial, Second Trial: Assist Tang San in completing the Second Trial. Through this, the affinity with the Healing God increases by 10%, bringing the total affinity to 20%."

"The Third Trial is to assist Tang San in completing the Life Sowing and Destruction Harvesting in the Douluo Continent."

Ye Lingling paused slightly, her voice soft. "Third Brother, it seems we need to return to the mainland."

Tang San nodded, reached out, and took her hand.

"We need to make a plan first."

Tang San first sensed the changes within himself.

During the year, although his and Ye Lingling's souls remained in the Reincarnation Realm, experiencing six lifetimes, their physical bodies remained in the secret chamber, maintaining a slow and stable state of cultivation.

Although my Soul Power didn't increase as quickly as when I was meditating at full power, it didn't fall behind.

Tang San closed his eyes, feeling the flow of Soul Power within his body.

Class of '88.

They advanced one level in a year, which is about the average speed.

More importantly, the soul tempering brought about by Six Lifetimes of Reincarnation laid a more solid foundation for him to bear dual divinity in the future.

His Spiritual Power has greatly increased; Tang San's Spiritual Power is now close to that of Level 99 Peerless Douluo.

Ye Lingling has also leveled up by at least two levels, reaching level eighty, but she doesn't have any Soul Rings yet, so her exact level is still unclear.

Tang San smiled and said, "Let's go, let's go out and see how Yan Yan and the others are doing."
