My Longevity Simulation-Chapter 725
“Have you heard? It is rumored that the Rebirth Mansion possesses a secret technique capable of preventing Ressurected True Souls from taking over the bodies of their descendants!”
“Hmph, I asked around, and it does seem to be true. However, it is already clear that obtaining this secret technique will come at an enormous cost. Those prestigious families, in order to maintain the ‘purity’ of their bloodlines, will go to any lengths to make it happen, no matter the price!”
“If you ask me, fellow Daoists, there is no need to resist this concept so strongly! The existence of the Rebirth Palace may actually be a blessing for us!”
“Oh? What do you mean by that?”
“Think about it—since we can be resurrected in eighteen years anyway, if we feel that our talent in this life is too mediocre and cultivation is hopeless, we could simply commit suicide. Perhaps in the next life, we will be born into a better family with an extraordinarily gifted body…”
Such a naïve remark immediately drew laughter from the other cultivators.
“Fellow Daoist, have you had too much spirit wine?”
“Not to mention whether or not you would be so lucky, have you even considered why resurrection requires an eighteen-year wait? Do you really think the descent of True Souls into newborns is completely random? I’d bet anything there’s something shady going on behind the scenes!”
“Well… I actually think he makes a bit of sense. Consider this: we are already of mediocre talent with no hope of rising in this life. Even if we have children, they will only suffer the fate of being treated as mere servants, bullied and oppressed. Because of this, I never even considered having descendants before. But now…”
“…Perhaps it’s worth taking the gamble. Even if the True Soul merging with my child wasn’t a genius in their past life, just the additional lifetime of cultivation experience would already be an invaluable asset. And if luck is on our side and the soul belonged to a powerful being in their previous life… well, then I, as the father, would rise in status as well! Haha!”
“Hiss… When you put it that way, it does seem reasonable.”
Similar debates took place across the entire Xuanhuang Realm.
Meanwhile, Xu Bai, through Nangong Shirong, learned more details about the Rebirth Mansion.
“So the rumors are true. There really is a secret technique that can prevent a newborn from being merged with a True Soul. But…”
“Eight million contribution points—and it must be performed while the child is still in the womb.”
“Damn it, that’s daylight robbery! I’ve worked in Tianliang Prefecture for so many years, and I’ve never saved up that much.”
“And then there’s the Rebirth Mirror, which allows one to glimpse the memories of the True Soul before it merges with a newborn. If you don’t like what you see… hiss…”
“Then there’s the True Soul Guide, which, when placed on a prepared body in advance, increases the probability that one’s True Soul will reincarnate into the designated vessel.”
“The Perfect Vessel, which allows one to perfectly replicate their current body within the Rebirth Mansion—ensuring an ideal resurrection in the next life.”
“The Soul Stability Seal, which preserves the emotions and memories of the previous life even after the Rebirth Mansion’s eighteen-year cleansing process.”
“And the Rebirth Decree—with this, there’s no need to wait eighteen years. A fragment of the True Soul can be resurrected immediately upon death.”
Xu Bai and Nangong Shirong stared at the jade slip before them, each with a different expression.
“There are so many flashy and expensive options! Ordinary people could never afford any of this!” Nangong Shirong cursed.
“But that Rebirth Decree… that’s a real treasure. If you combine it with the Perfect Vessel, wouldn’t that be like having an extra life? No, wait… if you have enough contribution points, wouldn’t that make you immortal? Able to revive indefinitely?” He exclaimed in amazement.
“We just don’t know if there are any hidden limitations,” Xu Bai’s eyes flickered as he nodded in agreement.
“It seems like the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance has prepared for every possible scenario. There may be some initial chaos, but I believe cultivators will adapt quickly,” Xu Bai said as he scanned the list of offerings in the jade slip.
“Achieving immortality in a single moment—the world will be turned upside down. This Rebirth Heavenly Sovereign is truly remarkable. The history of the Xuanhuang Realm is about to enter a new era,” Nangong Shirong mused.
“I just wonder what the Five Elders Association thinks about all this. Can the power of the Rebirth Heavenly Sovereign reach their domain?” Xu Bai suddenly asked.
“Uh…” Nangong Shirong hesitated. “I’m not sure. But I heard that some sort of deal has been made—only a small test area has been approved for now…”
Xu Bai's eyes flickered slightly.
From that moment on, the cultivators of the Xuanhuang Realm gradually adapted to the presence of the Rebirth Mansion in the sky.
Not long after, the first resurrection case emerged.
A Golden Core cultivator named Ximen Yang self-detonated in full view of the public, his soul completely scattered.
However, before long, he reappeared alive, standing before the masses once more.
His form and demeanor remained exactly as before.
He even remembered his self-detonation and would boast to anyone he met about his experience of exploding, dying, and being reborn.
News of this spread rapidly. The cultivators who had initially been skeptical about Rebirth began to believe in it.
As more cases of resurrection surfaced across the lands of the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance, the existence of Rebirth gradually became accepted by the public.
Within the Devouring Essence White Mist
Even through the vast, hazy fog, the three could vaguely make out the Rebirth Mansion looming above them.
“Damn it, cultivators these days are acting like they’re unafraid of death! Even the depths of the White Mist are crowded with people now,” Dongfang Yao cursed angrily. Just as he finished speaking, a Samantabhadra True Boat roared past him.
“Aren’t you just stating the obvious?” Huangfu Song sneered. “With the Rebirth Heavenly Sovereign around, everyone can resurrect. Why fear death? Worst case, after eighteen years, I’ll be a hero again!”
“I don’t believe in this Rebirth Mansion nonsense,” Dongfang Yao said, his face serious. “There’s definitely something off about it. Think about it—this so-called preservation of a tiny fragment of one’s true soul… Even if you’re revived, you’re merging with something else. Are you really still yourself? Even if a prepared body ensures so-called resurrection, the fact remains—I truly died back then. The one reborn is merely someone else who happens to have my memories.”
He warned, “Brothers, don’t be fooled by this. We must still treasure our lives and be cautious!”
“Since when did you get so sharp, Dongfang?” Huangfu Song frowned slightly, contemplating his words. “You actually make some sense…”
Meanwhile, Li Fan remained silent as he listened to their debate. His mind, however, was occupied with something else entirely.
“In my past life, this Rebirth Heavenly Sovereign never revealed himself to the world, let alone established the Rebirth Mansion.”
“The reversal of life and death should have naturally become a fundamental law of existence—just like the Carefree Heavenly Sovereign, who seamlessly integrated into the world’s order.”
“But now, this reversal of life and death requires the Rebirth Mansion as a medium. Doesn’t this mean that the Rebirth Heavenly Sovereign has yet to reach his ultimate, ideal state?”
“Perhaps this was merely a hasty, desperate measure, influenced by Blue Feather…”
