Heaven Is About to Entrust a Great Task to This Person

"You two, come with me."

With that, Hun Tiandi rose to his feet.

With a thought from him, Xiao Yan and Qian Renxue were brought into a strange space.

The space was boundless, vast beyond measure.

Countless streaks of light wandered back and forth within it, as numerous as the stars in the night sky.

As a Dou Di, Xiao Yan immediately sensed what they were.

He said in surprise:

"These are souls!"

But the next second, he realized something was wrong.

"Wait! Why are these souls so weak?"

"And they don't seem complete, either?"

Beside him, Qian Renxue listened with a thoroughly bewildered expression.

She knew what souls were.

All living things had souls.

But she had never seen what a soul truly looked like.

Hun Tiandi, however, shook his head and said:

"These are not souls."

"They are True Spirits."

He continued to explain:

"A True Spirit is the most fundamental foundation of a life."

"It is hidden in the deepest part of the soul."

"In other words, the soul is merely the shell surrounding the True Spirit."

"One could say that the soul may scatter and the body may be destroyed, but the True Spirit alone cannot be erased."

After hearing Hun Tiandi's explanation, not only did Qian Renxue fail to understand, even Xiao Yan had never heard such a thing before.

"True Spirits..."

Xiao Yan murmured, "This is the first time I have heard that such a thing is hidden in the depths of the soul, Master."

Qian Renxue was even more lost in the clouds and could not help asking curiously:

"Master, what do these True Spirits have to do with what you said you wanted to do?"

Hun Tiandi did not answer directly. Instead, he posed a question to the two of them:

"Have you heard of reincarnation?"

Qian Renxue certainly knew nothing about it.

So she simply shook her head.

Xiao Yan, however, frowned.

As a genuine transmigrator, he had naturally heard of the concept of reincarnation.

In his previous life on Earth, there had been plenty of accounts of reincarnation in myths and legends, Buddhist scriptures and Taoist texts.

"After a person dies, the body perishes, while the soul enters the cycle of reincarnation. After everything is washed away, it receives a completely new life."

Xiao Yan changed tack. "But aren't these accounts just rumors?"

"Besides, some people with powerful souls can become soul bodies after death."

"As long as they find suitable bodies, they can still be resurrected."

Hearing this, Hun Tiandi asked Xiao Yan:

"What about people whose soul power isn't strong?"

"Have you ever considered where their souls go after they die?"

Xiao Yan was stumped.

In the end, he could only cup his hands and say:

"I don't know, Master. Please enlighten me."

Hun Tiandi explained slowly:

"In truth, whether they are strong or weak,"

"Once their bodies die and their souls perish, only their True Spirits remain."

"But reincarnation does not exist in this world."

"So these True Spirits can only wander the world, day after day, year after year, forever without a place to return to."

"The vast majority of them will slowly dissipate between heaven and earth during this long wandering, until they return completely to nothingness."

"What I intend to do is create true reincarnation on the Dou Qi Continent."

"So that these beings, of whom only True Spirits remain, can pass on to new lives!"

"And the Samsara Scripture is the product of that idea."

As soon as he said this, the entire space seemed to fall into a deathly silence.

Establish reincarnation?

Xiao Yan was shaken to his core.

The Endless Soul Domain had always collected wandering souls from between heaven and earth.

Some of these wandering souls had signed employment contracts with the Endless Soul Domain and become its protectors.

After becoming permanent members, most had obtained bodies and been fully resurrected.

Among the rest, there had been no shortage of utterly vicious villains who had tried to challenge the authority of the Endless Soul Domain.

Their fate, naturally, had been extermination.

Their souls had been scattered, with not a scrap left behind.

That was also the foundation that had secured the Endless Soul Domain's position as ruler of the Dou Qi Continent.

Now, according to his master, the True Spirits of those whose soul bodies had been exterminated had also been gathered into this space by him.

Not only that.

Judging by the number of True Spirits in this space, his master had most likely gathered the vast majority of the True Spirits on the entire Dou Qi Continent!

Qian Renxue was likewise deeply shaken by what Hun Tiandi intended to do.

To give all the dead a next life.

Her master actually harbored such a grand ambition!

"Master!"

"Then does that mean that as long as the Samsara Scripture is completely perfected, you can create true reincarnation?"

But Hun Tiandi said:

"Strictly speaking, only by completing the Samsara Scripture first is it possible to create true reincarnation."

Qian Renxue immediately sucked in a sharp breath.

So her master had chosen to teach her the Samsara Scripture because he had placed his hopes for this undertaking on her!

Truly, heaven was about to entrust a great task to this person!

At the thought, Qian Renxue felt her blood boil and wished she could begin cultivating the Samsara Scripture at once.

All her life, she had never been willing to fall behind others.

And now her master had entrusted such an important mission to her.

She would most certainly perfect the Samsara Scripture!

If for nothing else, then to live up to her master's trust!

Watching Qian Renxue suddenly become eager to try, Hun Tiandi wore a somewhat strange expression.

The girl had looked as though she had suffered a grievance as great as the heavens just moments ago, and now her blood was boiling?

Forget it.

He had better not tell the truth and deal a blow to the child's confidence.

To put it plainly, he had chosen to teach Qian Renxue the Samsara Scripture simply because he had run out of options.

Back when Xiao Yan had refined the Bodhi Heart and advanced to Dou Sheng, the system had given Hun Tiandi an insight into reincarnation as feedback.

He had found it rather interesting, and so the initial form of the Samsara Scripture had come into being.

Later, he had begun gathering the world's True Spirits and gained further insights, eventually creating the first part of the Samsara Scripture.

But he had never been able to find a way forward with the second part.

Only after exhausting his options had he decided to teach Qian Renxue the cultivation method.

He wanted to see whether the system would give him anything useful as feedback.

But judging by the situation now, had Xiao Qian misunderstood something?

Douluo Continent.

After hearing all these inconceivable things, Golden Crocodile could not help asking a question.

"Big Brother, do you believe in a next life?"

Qian Daoliu was likewise immersed in shock and could not come back to his senses for a long time.

He shook his head. "Never mind a next life-even the fact that people on the Dou Qi Continent can revive as soul bodies is already unheard of."

"But there is something I don't quite understand. What does that mighty figure hope to gain by doing all this?"

"Perhaps he wants to make a name that will last for ten thousand generations?" Golden Crocodile guessed.

Qian Daoliu did not agree with Golden Crocodile. "I doubt it. An existence at his level is already enough to be remembered for all eternity."

"Besides, how could an overlord of his stature truly have all living beings in mind?"

"In my view, establishing reincarnation must hold benefits for that mighty figure beyond anything we can imagine."

"Let's watch patiently. We'll learn the answer."
