From all directions, countless pure primordial forces of the world flowed into the wheel like rivers flowing into the sea.

Those primordial powers came from the Thirty-Three Heavens of the Spirit Saint Domain, the Ten Kings of Hell of the Nether Realm Netherworld, the billions of immortals and gods of the Heavenly Court, and the trillions of living beings of the mortal realm. They gathered from the Heavenly Net, surged from the Netherworld, and came from every citizen of the Spirit Saint Domain, converging into a visible golden torrent that surged and poured into the Six Paths Reincarnation Disc.

This is the power of merit.

This is the power transformed from the praise and offerings made by all living beings in heaven and earth to the Heavenly Emperor, Logo.

This is a powerful force that has been condensed over thousands of years, through the will, beliefs, cause and effect, and Fate of the entire realm.

At a certain moment, the infusion of those primal forces finally reached a critical point.

The Six Paths Reincarnation Disc trembled slightly.

The tremor was extremely slight, yet it was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, startling the entire Nether Realm Netherworld.

The milky-white light on the roulette wheel suddenly surged, instantly illuminating the entire Nether Realm! The Endless ghosts surrounding it prostrated themselves on the ground, trembling under the light. Although they had lost their memories of their previous lives, they still instinctively felt that magnificent aura, as if they were facing something more sublime and ancient than the Heavenly Dao.

The Bridge of Helplessness trembled, the River of Forgetfulness surged, the Three Lives Stone hummed, and the flowers of the other shore swayed wildly. The entire Nether Realm Netherworld came alive at this moment, as if a giant beast that had been sleeping for billions of years had finally awakened and let out its first roar.

The roulette wheel slowly rose.

It rose higher and higher, its light grew brighter and brighter, and its momentum grew stronger and stronger. Under its pull, the six Black Hole suddenly accelerated their rotation speed, and the power of Samsara surged out like a flood bursting its banks, washing over the entire Nether Realm Netherworld.

The Six Paths of Reincarnation reincarnation has finally come to an end.

The Heaven-Bearing Reincarnation Disc has been restored to its original state, no, it is even more powerful.

Deep within the Netherworld, a figure slowly raised its head.

It was an old monk dressed in a kasaya, with a withered face and a thin body. However, his seemingly cloudy old eyes shone with a wisdom that saw through all the illusions of the world. His aura was extremely restrained. At first glance, he was just an ordinary old monk, but if you sensed him carefully, you would find that his withered body contained a vast magical power that was enough to suppress an entire world.

Great Virtue Eminent Monk.

He was the first and only high monk in the Netherworld to attain enlightenment through pure merit. He did not cultivate supernatural powers or practice magic. He achieved a position of great virtue comparable to the Supreme God through a single thought of compassion and countless eons of cultivation. After the establishment of the Netherworld, he volunteered to guard the Nether Realm, deliver the souls of the dead, and guide the Samsara reincarnation.

At that moment, he raised his head and looked at the slowly rising Six Paths Reincarnation Disc, a deep sense of admiration and satisfaction flashing in his cloudy old eyes.

"Amitabha..."

The Great Virtue Eminent Monk clasped his hands together, his voice aged yet compassionate, yet containing an unwavering resolve. "Your Majesty, through the merits of Heaven and Earth, offered sacrifices to the divine artifact, enduring countless tribulations, and finally achieving perfection. The Six Paths of Reincarnation is now complete; from this day forward, the Nether Realm will be orderly, Samsara will be constant, Yin and Yang will be balanced, and Heaven and Earth will be at peace. Excellent, excellent."

He paused, then softly recited a Buddhist chant. "Your Majesty's merit is immeasurable. The beings of this world can never repay it."

At the same moment, on a certain divine mountain in the Spirit Saint Domain.

The mountain rises thousands of feet high, piercing the sky. Its entire body is as black as iron, yet it gleams with a cold, metallic luster. This is a natural phenomenon formed by the ancient black iron, imbued with chaotic energy. The entire mountain itself is a natural Spirit Treasure, indestructible and capable of suppressing all laws.

At the summit, a majestic temple stands tall.

The palace doors swung open, and a figure slowly emerged from the darkness.

He was a young man with an exceptionally handsome face, sword-like eyebrows, and star-like eyes. He wore black armor covered with countless scars and cracks—marks left from his numerous battles. Behind him, a long spear slowly flew out from the Subordinate God and landed in his palm.

The spear was entirely black, its shaft shrouded in a dense, murderous aura, as if countless vengeful spirits were howling and roaring within it. A point of scarlet light flickered at the spear tip, the essence of blood and evil that had been condensed after drinking the blood of countless enemies. Any living being pierced even slightly by that spear tip would have its soul instantly corroded by the evil aura, never to be redeemed again.

The Demon-Subduing Heavenly Venerable.

In the Spirit Saint Domain, he is the foremost general in charge of conquest and slaughter. He is the sharpest spear under Logo, a renowned figure forged in countless battles against foreign invaders. The number of Supreme God who have died by his spear exceeds the number one palm's width.

At this moment, he slowly tightened his grip on the spear, speaking slowly and deliberately, his voice cold and sharp, yet containing an irrepressible fighting spirit:

"Today, the Six Paths of Reincarnation is complete. The Nether Realm is settled, and yin and yang are at peace. From now on, the Spirit Saint Domain will have no more worries."

He raised his head, looked towards a certain point in the sky, and a cruel smile appeared on his lips.

"Well... now it's the turn of those scum from the Astral Realm."

From all directions, countless hymns of praise resounded simultaneously.

Those hymns came from every inch of the Spirit Saint Domain, from every palace in the Thirty-Three Heavens, from every corner of the Nether Realm Netherworld, and from the hearts of hundreds of millions of people. They flowed like rivers into the sea, converging into a deafening sound wave that reverberated throughout the entire realm.

We praise the Supreme Heavenly Emperor!

"The Cycle of Samsara has been successfully completed!"

"Peace and stability in the Nether Realm, balance between yin and yang!"

May the Heavenly Emperor live a long and prosperous life, without end!

Countless voices shouted in unison, rising like waves, one after another. The faith and piety contained in those voices transformed into visible golden specks of light, rising from every corner of the Spirit Saint Domain and converging towards the core of the Heavenly Court.

Inside the Heavenly Court, Logo slowly opened his eyes.

His lips curled up slightly, revealing a rare, genuine smile.

It is the satisfaction of thousands of years of painstaking effort finally bearing fruit, the joy of facing the devout praise of hundreds of millions of people, and the relief of finally achieving success after planning for eternity and laying out plans for a thousand years.

The Six Paths Reincarnation Disc slowly rotated deep within his consciousness. With each rotation, countless forces of Samsara surged into the origin of the Spirit Saint Domain, making the entire realm more stable and perfect. From then on, the souls of beings in the Spirit Saint Domain had a place to return to after death, a basis for their past and present lives, and a foundation for karmic retribution. The cycle between the Yin and Yang realms was completely established, and no external force could easily shake this foundation.

However, at this very moment—

A sudden change has occurred!

A massive crack suddenly tore open in the sky!

The crack stretched across the sky for hundreds of millions of miles, tearing the dome of the Thirty-Three Heavens in two! From within the crack, Endless chaotic storms surged forth, wildly sweeping across the heavens and earth of the Spirit Saint Domain.

Immediately afterwards, the Heavenly Dao trembled!

The supreme laws that enveloped the entire realm, the ultimate principles that governed the operation of all things, groaned in despair at this moment. The net of Heavenly Dao, like a spider web torn apart by a tremendous force, crumbled inch by inch, and countless fragments of laws fell from the sky, turning into burning meteors that crashed down on the land of the Spirit Saint Domain.

And right behind it was the Heavenly Net that had protected the Spirit Saint Domain for thousands of years!

The Heavenly Net collapsed with a deafening roar!

Hundreds of millions of golden rays of light shattered simultaneously, emitting earth-shattering explosions. The protective array that the rays had originally intertwined to cover the entire realm was now scattered like broken strings. Each shattering ray released terrifying energy capable of annihilating stars, exploding into Destruction flowers of light in the sky!

In the Heavenly Court, countless immortals and gods looked up in shock.

Then they saw the blazing sun.

A magnificent, golden sun slowly descended from beyond the torn sky. The sun was incredibly large, almost obscuring the entire sky, and its light was extremely intense. Wherever it passed, chaotic energy, fragments of laws, and remnants of the Heavenly Net were instantly Purification and turned into nothingness in that light!

Deep within the blazing sun, a figure roared in fury.

"You dare!!"

The sound was like a thunderclap, shaking the entire Spirit Saint Domain. Hundreds of millions of living beings felt their souls about to be torn apart upon hearing it, and some cultivators with low cultivation even bled from their seven orifices and fainted.

That was the voice of the Eternity Sun God.

However, on either side of that blazing sun, two equally terrifying auras descended simultaneously.

To the left, a dark blue blade of light cleaved through Space-Time! The light was incredibly sharp, seemingly capable of severing the past and future, cutting off cause and effect, Fate! Wherever the light passed, Space-Time were torn open, revealing the Endless chaotic Void behind it. Deep within the light, a long, dark blue blade slowly emerged, its blade swirling with sounds of killing intent like the roar of a tiger and the cry of a dragon, each sound wave capable of devouring the fighting spirit and will of all living beings.

That was the Tiger Soul God-Seizing Saber of the Heavenly Emperor of Profound Arms.

To the right, a silvery-white light of order illuminated the heavens and earth! The light was cold and precise, containing the ultimate secrets of all the laws and principles of the world. Wherever the light touched, everything was frozen, imprisoned, and brought into order. The falling fragments of laws were instantly frozen in mid-air after being enveloped by the light, unable to move; the scattered remnants of the Heavenly Net were immediately stilled upon being touched by the light, as if time itself had stopped flowing at that moment.

That was the power of order released by the Holy Grail of Origin of the God of Law.

The three Eternal have descended simultaneously!

The Sun God, the Heavenly Emperor of Profound Arms, and the God of Law —these three sworn enemies who had fought with Logo in the Chaos Sea for thousands of years—finally broke through the defenses of the Spirit Saint Domain and descended upon this place at the moment when the Six Paths of Reincarnation were completed.

They sensed the aura of perfect Samsara.

They knew that once the Six Paths of Reincarnation were fully stabilized, the foundation of the Spirit Saint Domain would surge to an unprecedented level. At that time, it would be as difficult as ascending to heaven for them to break through this realm and seize the purification method.

So they came.

It will come at any cost.

The heavens were torn apart, the Heavenly Dao shattered, and the Heavenly Net collapsed. Three Eternal descended together, carrying a world-destroying power, intending to utterly annihilate the newly completed Six Paths of Reincarnation, along with the Heavenly Emperor Logo!

However--

Heavenly Emperor Logo raised his head and looked at the three Eternal.

His dark imperial robes fluttered in the Berserk air currents, his imperial crown trembled slightly, his face remained heroic and dignified, and his eyes remained deep and unfathomable.

Then he smiled.

The smile was faint, so faint that its curve was almost invisible, yet it carried a supreme air of looking down upon the world and regarding the Eternal as mere ants.

He slowly rose from the imperial throne.

"It's too late."

His voice wasn't loud, but it clearly reached the ears of the three Eternal, the ears of billions of living beings in the entire Spirit Saint Domain, and the ears of Endless ghosts in the Nether Realm Netherworld.

"At this very moment, above and below—"

He raised his hand, fingers spread, palm facing up.

The light of the Six Paths of Reincarnation suddenly surged in the depths of his consciousness. The primal power of the entire Spirit Saint Domain surged wildly like a boiling ocean, gathering in his palm and condensing into a hazy gray light containing the ultimate mystery of the Six Paths of Reincarnation of Reincarnation.

"I am the only one who matters."

The words had barely left his mouth.

Everything changed dramatically.
