Defining rules could also be considered a small-scale rehearsal for creating a world. It was exactly the same concept as establishing the laws of heaven after creating a world; the rules of reincarnation were merely one aspect of it.
Qin Yi had always felt that he had been experiencing world creation from all sorts of angles, bit by bit, in every scattered aspect...
For this group working together at Supreme Clarity, establishing rules in a single area was a relatively simple operation, nothing difficult. Back then, even the Phoenix Emperor had been able to do it alone. The main difficulty lay in disputes over "what kind of rules should be made," disputes fierce enough to tear heaven and earth apart.
Now, there was nothing much left to argue about. Ever since Yao Guang's Self-Bound Surrender, although she later resumed her original air of pride, her meaning had not changed—she had entrusted everything to Qin Yi's decision.
As for Liusu... ever since their life in that little town, she had almost stopped voicing opinions on such matters.
The reason was simple.
Because she had discovered that she could not represent the way humanity thought.
The mortals of today had declined. What they wanted more was peaceful homes and prosperous lives; it was no longer remotely the same as ancient times, when everyone pursued proximity to the Dao.
Even when Jiuying's voice spread throughout the world, most people had actually been unmoved, thinking, What the hell does that have to do with me? Liusu had found that inconceivable in the past. It had become difficult for everyone to understand one another.
Moreover, the human population now was beyond counting, and it had long ceased to be comparable to the tribes of old... Different classes had different ways of thinking, all terribly complicated.
