I'll Find You and Bring You Back
"Reincarnation, huh..."
For the first time, Xiao Lin detected a hint of sorrow in the tone of the Bodhi Ancient Tree.
It was unclear what the other person was thinking; after letting out a sigh, they fell into a long silence.
Xiao Lin wasn't in a hurry; he simply waited quietly for the other party.
Finally, after an unknown amount of time, the Bodhi Ancient Tree spoke once more, "Do you believe in reincarnation?"
However, the Bodhi Ancient Tree did not answer Xiao Lin directly, but instead asked him a question in return.
Xiao Lin: "..."
However, this time it was Xiao Lin who remained silent.
This scene looked extremely strange.
At this moment, Xiao Lin was naturally lost in thought because of the Bodhi Ancient Tree's question.
Does he believe in reincarnation?
This is a very subtle issue.
The answer is more subtle!
Some people don't believe in reincarnation; they only believe in this life.
Some people, however, have a deep belief in reincarnation.
That depends on the individual.
At the very least, people like Gu Yuan, Hun Tiandi, and Zhukun probably don't believe in reincarnation.
Xiao Lin, in the past, also did not believe in reincarnation!
But after his three-day trip Greater World and meeting the woman who looked and had the same name as his deceased wife, he wavered.
Therefore, Xiao Lin now wants to believe in reincarnation!
However, this also brings about problems.
If reincarnation truly exists, why have we never heard of powerful beings who died returning to this world?
It's important to understand that the Dou Qi Continent is quite different from the neighboring Profound Heaven Continent.
Even their cultivation systems are completely unrelated.
In the Dou Qi Continent, what you cultivate is Dou Qi!
As one's strength increases, one can gradually deepen one's application of the law of "space".
Meanwhile, the neighboring Profound Heaven Continent cultivates Yuan Qi!
Its cultivation path involves stealing Yin and Yang, seizing creation, achieving Nirvana, grasping life and death, and controlling reincarnation.
This is equivalent to mastering the law of "reincarnation".
Therefore, cultivators on the Tian Yuan Continent can indeed be reincarnated after death, as long as their cultivation reaches a certain level.
However, the rules governing the universe are different in each world.
In places like Dou Qi Continent, one person can become Dou Emperor by directly activating the Dou Emperor Bloodline within their blood relatives.
Therefore, the rules of heaven and earth in each world are not actually of any higher or lower status; they are simply different.
This is why Xiao Lin has always been uncertain about whether reincarnation exists on the Dou Qi Continent.
Otherwise, why would he have come to the Bodhi Ancient Tree seeking answers?
However, to my surprise, that old charlatan, the Bodhi Ancient Tree, has thrown the question back at me again...
Finally, after much deliberation, Xiao Lin raised his head, the hesitation in his eyes disappearing.
I believe you!
This is Xiao Lin's answer.
This was not just a verbal promise from Xiao Lin, but also a heartfelt one.
Because only by believing will he have the motivation to find his wife!
"Since you believe in it, then reincarnation must exist..."
The Bodhi Ancient Tree then spoke again.
However, Xiao Lin found the Bodhi Ancient Tree's answer somewhat amusing.
"What? Do you think I don't believe that reincarnation doesn't exist in this world?"
Xiao Lin didn't really believe in idealism.
Isn't the Bodhi Ancient Tree now openly offering him a "believe and it exists, don't believe and it doesn't" explanation?
This made Xiao Lin feel like he had been tricked.
Fortunately, the explanation given by the Bodhi Ancient Tree was not as clichéd as he had imagined.
"Your statement is neither right nor wrong. If you don't believe it, then there is no reincarnation in this world, and you probably wouldn't expect it anyway. But the so-called lack of reincarnation only applies to this world..."
The Bodhi Ancient Tree's answer was somewhat vague, but Xiao Lin understood it.
What they mean is that in the Dou Qi Continent, there is no such thing as reincarnation!
But reincarnation exists outside of the Dou Qi Continent!
Clearly, as an ancient relic that has lived for countless years, the Bodhi Ancient Tree's understanding of this world far surpasses that of most people.
It knew that beyond the Dou Qi Continent, there were other worlds!
Then, Xiao Lin fell silent for a brief moment.
He was carefully contemplating the full meaning of the phrase "Bodhi Ancient Tree".
However, if what the Bodhi Ancient Tree said is true, then a new problem arises.
His wife, who should be from the Dou Qi Continent, why could she also experience reincarnation?
And, it even reincarnated into the Greater World?
"Since that's the case, Bodhi Ancient Tree, could you please enlighten me about my wife...?"
Having some doubts, Xiao Lin naturally asked them directly.
After hearing Xiao Lin recount his wife Wen Lingyun's story, the Bodhi Ancient Tree was momentarily stunned.
But then, it seemed to realize something.
"If what you're saying is true, then there's only one possibility."
The sound of the Bodhi Ancient Tree returned to its original tranquility.
What's possible?
Xiao Lin asked instinctively.
Seeing the anxious expression flash across Xiao Lin's face, the Bodhi Ancient Tree did not delay in giving an answer this time.
"Since your wife has experienced reincarnation, it means she was never born into this world! Her previous incarnation must have come from a world that also has reincarnation!"
The Bodhi Ancient Tree said with certainty.
"Not from this world..."
After hearing the Bodhi Ancient Tree's explanation, Xiao Lin once again fell into a daze.
He hadn't considered this answer before.
After all, this seems rather far-fetched.
How could he not know about his wife?
However, it wasn't until the Bodhi Ancient Tree mentioned it that Xiao Lin realized he truly didn't know!
Even though he had met his reincarnated wife in the Greater World before, he never thought about this matter.
This was utterly unbelievable to Xiao Lin.
It took him a while to gradually accept that his wife was an outsider.
At this moment, Xiao Lin did not doubt the answer given by the Bodhi Ancient Tree.
Because, in fact, he himself knew that reincarnation should not exist in the Dou Qi Continent.
But his own wife had gone through reincarnation.
Isn't the answer obvious?
His wife never belonged to this world!
This is the only explanation!
"Phew~"
After a while, Xiao Lin finally managed to pull himself out of his somewhat chaotic thoughts.
Although Xiao Lin's feelings were still somewhat complicated, fortunately, the doubts in his heart had been resolved.
After resolving his inner doubts, Xiao Lin's gaze became resolute.
"Crunch~"
Clenching his right fist and raising it in front of him, Xiao Lin made up his mind.
"Yun'er, no matter which world you're from, now that I've met you again, I will search high and low, even to the ends of the Yellow Springs, to find you. Wait for me!"
Xiao Lin gazed at the horizon, muttering to himself.
For Xiao Lin at this moment, what does being separated by a Greater World mean?
Even if it's across the entire Heavenly Source World, he'll bring his wife back!
At this moment, Xiao Lin's eyes seemed to be burning!
