The structure of the Bridge of Reincarnation is as smooth and perfect as the natural rules. Its appearance gives the souls in the realm of the dead a chance to return to the realm of the living.
But any dead who pass through this foggy bridge must be reshaped. Their spiritual entities will be dissociated and mixed, and then rebuilt into new individuals without any trace of the past.
These new individuals can return to the universe of the living with a brand-new attitude. No matter where they go, they will mean the birth of a new life...
At this point, the two long-cherished wishes of "protecting the dead" and "forging the reincarnation of life and death" have been fulfilled. Xue Hua felt that he was tired, so he decided to rest on the spot and continue to guard this realm...
Countless years have passed, and his consciousness has been soaked in the power of the Realm of the Dead. The negative emotions full of grief and anger are automatically excluded by it, and the leaked essence of spiritual entities is absorbed by it.
Day after day, these essences dripped through the sand and formed a tower, slowly making him stronger and stronger.
The realm of the dead continues to expand with his strength, and as a shadow of the realm of the living, it grows with the universe on the other side.
In this constant growth and waiting, one day, Xue Hua woke up.
He recovered from this illusory state and at the same time realized his true existence.
He raised his head and looked around, was silent for a while, and then a smile slowly appeared on his face.
"The original power of the Realm of the Dead...that's how it is..."
The smile on Xue Hua's face became more and more cheerful, which seemed completely out of tune with the gloomy atmosphere of the place.
But he laughed very calmly and heartily, and finally laughed out loud.
Just as he was laughing louder and louder, a voice came from all directions.
"It seems you understand?"
"It's so obvious. If you don't understand it, I won't call it low qualifications, just a fool!" Xue Hua stopped laughing and shook his head helplessly.
Tageo took it to the very beginning of the Realm of the Dead, and allowed him to experience a "creation"-like feeling.
All mental processes, all understandings and insights are imitated from the original situation, all in order to let him understand.
What exactly is the so-called "original"?
The original power of the Realm of the Dead comes from Tageo's long-cherished wish. It was born from the chaos and order of its brothers. Its only purpose is to create a shadow that can "protect the dead" and possess the "reincarnation of life, death, and destruction."
world.
This world will absorb the death and destruction in the realm of the living, so that the polar contradictions of life and death, existence and destruction will not disappear, but can be safely separated.
This is the "original" realm of the dead.
In fact, this is also the meaning of the so-called "original".
Extraordinary beings explore the ultimate mystery of the Primeval Realm day after day, and no one is willing to stop and review their original intentions.
But in fact, the so-called "original realm" is actually in the moist soil under the stone slab where every life begins to take the first step towards the goal of being strong. It is where you first set foot on this road.
Every heroic word you shout is your most authentic original intention when you first long for power.
This realization can only be understood and cannot be explained in words, because everyone’s original intention is different, and whatever you are reminded of is not your true original intention.
That's why Tagio used this method to hint Xue Hua and let him figure out the true meaning of the so-called "original".
...
"You can continue to stay here and think, don't worry, the time of the outside world has no meaning here..."
"No, I've already figured it out." Xue Hua shook his head and rejected Tageo's kindness.
What is his original intention?
When he first came to this world, his original intention was very simple, one sentence or two words: "Protect yourself and go home!"
Before getting help from the insect swarm, he was confused about the future. Time travel was not as wonderful as the novel said, and human nerves and minds were far from as strong as imagined.
He has experienced hysterical collapse, immense pain, an indifferent third-party perspective, and loneliness that no one can understand.
Therefore, his original intention in pursuing strength at the beginning was to "protect himself" and at the same time hope that one day he could return to the familiar world where his blood blended, that is, "go home."
Now, has he achieved his goal of "self-protection"?
Ask yourself, no!
There are still too many threats in this universe that he cannot face. Whether it is protecting himself or the people he loves, he has not reached the maximum level. Therefore, he has not achieved this goal!
And “going home”…
Thinking of this word, Xue Hua's mouth couldn't help but feel a hint of bitterness.
Not to mention going home, now he doesn't even know where "home" is!
Although the Supervisory King Insects in the swarm have launched countless deep space explorers to every corner of the universe, Xue Hua doubts what they will find.
Because according to the information he knows now, his "home" is not in this universe at all!
The Queen of Blades already has the power to travel across the universe, but he has no idea where his "home" is in the universe!
In fact, he still hasn't fully understood the relationship between the various universes!
Therefore, the goal of "going home" is still far away!
From this point of view, although he seems to have good strength now, in fact, he has not reached the standards of either of his two original aspirations for gaining power!
But now, in order to achieve his original intention, he must turn around, take long strides to the starting point, move the bluestone brick away, pick up the moist soil under the brick, and smell its fragrance and bitterness.
Only in this way can he have the motivation and courage to keep moving forward, and will he not be derailed by other scenery on the road!
Xue Hua exhaled a long breath. He closed his eyes and then opened them again. He found himself once again on the top platform of the silver-white spire standing alone in the center of a ruin-like high-level paradise. Tageo in front of him was calmly speaking.
Staring at him, the crystal holy arch behind him was still shining with bright golden light...
"See clearly?"
"See clearly."
"Do you understand?"
"I figured it out."
"Very good, then you go, it's time for me to leave. After sleeping for so long, the things in the Realm of the Dead are probably piled higher than the mountains.
Oh, by the way, you don’t have to worry about this, I’ll take care of it.”
Tageo pursed his lips toward the Crystal Arch, and then returned to the Realm of the Dead without saying a word or looking back.
The moment it turned around, a ray of green light flew out from the Realm of the Dead, directly covering the entire Crystal Arch, and then disappeared with it.
As the rift leading to the Realm of the Dead quickly closed, the "Incarnation of Tageo" turned into powder and scattered in the air.
Xue Hua watched it leave, then turned and walked towards the tentacles of the king insect on the side.
