Chapter Summaries

Zhao Fu fused the origins of the Heaven, Earth, and Human worlds, transforming them into one world and binding its power to himself and the three books. He discovered that he could influence the Human World’s laws and nature, while the books could wield that power at the cost of the world’s origin.

• Zhao Fu realized the three realms had become a single world separate from the Apocalypse World and waited for a response that never came.
• Zhao Fu discovered that he could control the Human World’s natural laws and living beings, though his power was weaker beyond his territory and depended on immense energy.
• Zhao Fu learned that his fortune had merged with the three worlds’ fortune, while the books could control the worlds by consuming their origin power.

Zhao Fu used the Human Book to observe the Three Realms and discovered that the newly excavated Yellow Springs tributary had developed a consciousness. He believed the Three Realms’ fusion had accelerated the emergence of spirits and other extraordinary beings.

• Zhao Fu noticed that the Yellow Springs tributary excavated by Great Qin had developed a consciousness.
• Zhao Fu concluded that the fusion of the Three Realms’ origin power had awakened the tributary and could cause other spirits and extraordinary beings to emerge.

Zhao Fu considered how to strengthen the Three Realms by drawing on the planes above and below, and discovered that the Three Books could control death and reincarnation for Great Qin. He still needed to find a way to absorb the other planes’ power and build a reincarnation cycle for Great Qin’s soldiers.

• Zhao Fu recognized that the Three Realms could undergo a true transformation and that its inhabitants might gain powerful bloodlines and become bound to the world.
• Using planar perception, Zhao Fu sensed the powerful Immortal Realm above and a desolate, deathly plane below the Three Realms.
• Zhao Fu planned for the God Realm and Netherworld to absorb power from the upper and lower planes to nurture the Three Realms, but he lacked a method to do so.
• After absorbing power from the Six Paths of Reincarnation and Great Qin’s citizens, the Three Books gained the ability to erase names and control the reincarnation of recorded souls.
• Zhao Fu realized that Great Qin’s soldiers could be reborn with their memories and power, but he needed to construct a reincarnation cycle, and stronger forces could still disrupt it.

Zhao Fu asked Ling Ji how to create reincarnation for the Three Realms, and she explained that her connection to the Human World’s religious and cultural inheritance made it possible. He chose to create a new reincarnation exclusive to the Three Realms, but Ling Ji needed an item containing the origin of reincarnation, which Zhao Fu could only obtain from the Six Paths of Reincarnation guarded by the Six Paths Demon Idols.

• Zhao Fu realized he could not create reincarnation on his own and summoned Ling Ji for advice.
• Ling Ji said she could construct reincarnation because her true body, the Human World, held humanity’s accumulated religious and cultural inheritance.
• Ling Ji outlined the benefits of creating a new Three Realms-exclusive reincarnation instead of copying the Apocalypse World’s Six Paths of Reincarnation.
• Zhao Fu agreed to create a new reincarnation exclusive to the Three Realms.
• Ling Ji said she needed material containing the origin of reincarnation, but Zhao Fu would have to face the hostile Six Paths Demon Idols to obtain it.

Zhao Fu traveled to the reincarnation space to obtain Six Paths Jade for Ling Ji’s new reincarnation, but found the jade protected by a powerful restriction. He returned to Great Qin and brought Yu Ling, whose Myriad Worlds Physique could break restrictions, back to the altar.

• Zhao Fu realized the Six Paths Jade at the Reincarnation Immortal Platform could provide the origin material Ling Ji needed.
• Zhao Fu used the spatial key to enter the reincarnation space and found the Six Paths Jade at the top of the altar.
• Zhao Fu discovered that a powerful restriction protected the platform and that attacking it awakened the Buddha statues.
• Zhao Fu returned to Great Qin and took Yu Ling away after promising to keep Clear Water company when they returned.
• Zhao Fu brought Yu Ling, whose Myriad Worlds Physique could break restrictions, to the reincarnation space.

Zhao Fu and Yu Ling removed the restriction on the jade platform and retrieved the Six Paths Jade, which Ling Ji confirmed could be used to construct reincarnation. Ling Ji began building reincarnation in the deepest part of the Earth Realm, and the chapter ended as a wheel of light absorbed vast amounts of yin energy and began forming a gray crystalline disc.

• Zhao Fu took the Six Paths Jade from the platform and brought it to Ling Ji, who confirmed it could serve as material for reincarnation.
• Ling Ji brought Zhao Fu to a vast, frigid space in the deepest part of the Earth Realm and began constructing reincarnation with the Six Paths Jade and thirty-seven inheritances.
• The Three Books appeared as avatars and entered the Taiji Eight Trigrams diagram, which burst apart and formed a multicolored wheel of light.
• Ling Ji drew the Earth Realm's yin energy into the wheel, which turned gray and began taking the form of a crystalline disc.

Zhao Fu infused the newly established reincarnation cycle with the power of his imperial stars, creating a powerful Calamity Path and then a Human Path. He left the cycle with both paths formed, though their power was still developing.

• Zhao Fu used the Human Race Imperial Star’s power to infuse the disc with human race energy.
• The cycle formed a Human Path ring, which Zhao Fu sensed carried an aura of nobility and imperial authority.

Zhao Fu used the powers of several imperial stars and other sources to create new rings within the Reincarnation disc, each forming a distinct path. He completed the Alien King Path and prepared to continue with the Divine Race Imperial Star’s power.

• Zhao Fu began drawing on the Divine Race Imperial Star as its divine power poured into his body.

Zhao Fu added the Divine Heaven Mirror Path, the Eight Sun Forbidden Path, and the Alchemy Path to the growing Seven Paths of Reincarnation. The disc gained two additional paths, though Zhao Fu was left wondering why it had sought the Alchemy bloodline.

• Zhao Fu used the Power of Myriad Gods to create the Divine Heaven Mirror Path, bringing the reincarnation to seven paths and leaving four Evil Paths balanced against three Good Paths.
• The reincarnation requested Zhao Fu's First Evil Immortal and Alchemy bloodline powers, and he decided to give it both.
• Zhao Fu infused the First Evil Immortal bloodline into the disc, which drew power from the eight suns of the Chaos World and formed the Eight Sun Forbidden Path.
• Zhao Fu infused the Alchemy bloodline, and the disc formed a silver ring called the Alchemy Path, which was weaker than the other paths.
• Zhao Fu withdrew his consciousness and looked at the reincarnation as it suddenly changed again.

Zhao Fu and Ling Ji completed Reincarnation as a nine-path formation fused with the Three Realms, though it could initially reincarnate only a limited number of people. Zhao Fu split his soul among the nine paths to form the cores of future Nine Paths Demon Idols and gained the power to reincarnate Great Qin citizens without limit.

• Reincarnation transformed into a nine-ring formation, uniting its nine paths and allowing up to one thousand people to reincarnate at its current strength.
• Zhao Fu decided to nurture Nine Paths Demon Idols to guard Reincarnation, using his knowledge of how the Six Paths Demon Idols had been formed.

• Zhao Fu split his soul into nine black-and-white light clusters and fused each one with a ring of Reincarnation.
• Zhao Fu gained the ability to reincarnate Great Qin citizens recorded in the Three Realms Book and wielded the powers of all nine paths.
