Chapter 466 - 241: The Method of the Second Reincarnation

Chapter 466: Chapter 241: The Method of the Second Reincarnation

The Prophet answered politely, "Saint One, I have appeared, of course, to help you."

Saint One nodded lightly and said, "A Prophet hasn’t appeared in this world for several hundred years."

"I have heard that Prophets often appear at the world’s crucial turning points to alter the course of destiny."

Lu Cang followed his lead, saying, "Yes. I have foreseen a terrible future."

"In a future I can foresee, one that is not so distant, I saw all things fall apart. The gods will descend, and the entire world will be destroyed by war and disaster."

"We need a true champion, someone powerful enough to lead us away from disaster and restore peace to the world."

The Prophet continued, "After much consideration, I thought of you."

Saint One paused for a moment after hearing this, then asked coolly, "Oh? And why me?"

"If we’re talking about candidates, wouldn’t the one who managed to take my Reincarnation be more valuable?"

The Prophet replied, "No. He lacks your vast experience, and his intentions are not pure. I fear he is unfit for such a great responsibility."

"Besides, losing your Reincarnation is not necessarily a bad thing."

"In truth, there is more than one Reincarnation Inheritance. To obtain the second, one must first lose the first. It is a Reincarnation of being reborn from the ashes."

"This inheritance will only appear after you have lost the Reincarnation Mark."

Saint One asked, "Are you saying this Dungeon appeared specifically for me?"

The Prophet smiled faintly. "Is that not precisely the case? How else can you explain a Dungeon containing a Reincarnation Inheritance appearing out of thin air at such a strange time?"

Saint One stroked his chin, lost in thought.

He was certainly not the type to blindly trust another’s words.

However, what this Prophet before him was saying now certainly gave him pause.

’A Tier Seven Dungeon, appearing out of thin air...’

’If there’s no reason behind it, it is indeed strange.’

The Prophet spoke again. "Saint One, do you remember the young woman from your third life? You were deeply in love, but at the height of your romance, she suddenly vanished."

"Do you know why she left so abruptly?"

Hearing the Prophet suddenly bring this up, Saint One’s heart stirred as old memories resurfaced.

After a moment of recollection, he chuckled. "Hah. That’s ancient history. I don’t remember it anymore."

But the Prophet continued, "It was because she knew you could live for lifetime after lifetime, in endless Reincarnation."

"And she knew she couldn’t walk that path with you forever."

"So, she chose to leave. She went in search of a second method of Reincarnation..."

"Hoping she could be with you until the end of the world."

Saint One said nothing more, but everything Lu Cang said did indeed match his own experiences.

In truth, only he knew the details of that affair.

The young woman who left him had written in her farewell letter that she couldn’t bear to spend only one lifetime with him and that she was going to search for a way to live forever...

...or a second way to achieve Reincarnation, life after life.

She had even made him a promise: if she could truly achieve Reincarnation, they would spend every lifetime together, forever.

These old memories... Saint One hadn’t truly forgotten them.

He never imagined that this long-buried memory would be brought up by a complete stranger.

’It seems he truly knows a great many secrets.’

Lu Cang paused.

"Would you like to know what happened to her in the end?"

Saint One’s heart trembled. He let out a soft sigh and said, "Tell me."

"The truth is, she eventually found it. She really did find a second method of Reincarnation."

"And the method to obtain this second chance at Reincarnation is very simple."

"You must lose your Reincarnation."

"Every Owner of the Reincarnation Mark, after losing their Reincarnation, will face the trial for a second Reincarnation."

"If they succeed, they obtain a form of Reincarnation that can never be lost."

"If they fail... they are doomed beyond recovery and will inevitably perish."

"Therefore, the true trial only begins *after* one loses Reincarnation. This is the ultimate test..."

"In the end, she never told you this. She didn’t want to take your Reincarnation from you, and she was afraid that in your pursuit of a second one, you would end up perishing."

The Prophet spoke, enunciating every word.

Upon hearing this, Saint One let out a long sigh.

"Alas... I have been a Reincarnator for so long, yet I’ve never heard of such a thing."

’Of course you haven’t.’

’You’ve never heard of it because I just made it all up.’

’As for the story about your lover from your third life, you told me that yourself.’

To prepare for this performance, Lu Cang had already run three rehearsals, prying different information from his target each time. In every one of those encounters, he had chatted with Saint One for a long time, gaining a thorough understanding of the unique circumstances of each of his past lives.

Only after gaining this thorough understanding did Lu Cang replicate his prepared script in reality.

He made his target believe he had seen all this using the abilities of a Prophet.

In truth, he had seen a few things about Saint One, but... a Level 2 Prophet’s abilities weren’t ridiculously powerful when it came to prediction, so he had only used them for support.

Compared to a true High Level Divination Master, his abilities were probably still lacking.

But by using his rehearsals and supplementing them with a few of his Prophet abilities, he could paint a picture that was about eighty or ninety percent accurate. Add to that a boost in luck, and his story was basically flawless.

In Saint One’s eyes, Lu Cang’s aura was mysterious and his strength was unknown. When he used his Perception to probe him, all he saw was a complete enigma.

Even after exhausting all his methods, he was unable to gauge the depths of Lu Cang’s power.

Although he couldn’t be sure of Lu Cang’s true identity, Saint One could tell that his power was absolutely unfathomable.
