Qin Yi understood perfectly well why it did not dare.
Of course it did not dare. Once it turned itself into reincarnation—or even merely separated its own phoenix essence to form reincarnation—its strength would plummet. It might no longer be able to control the situation. In the history Qin Yi knew, there had been no shortage of cases where a man died and his policies died with him.
