Chapter 901: Chapter 1: Four Lives in Eighteen Years
“Failed!” The Reincarnation Saint Emperor’s mood was not good. Just after being born, he found himself truly like a child. He thought he had succeeded, but the situation took a sharp turn for the worse, ultimately failing.
His mood could hardly be considered good.
Wang Sheng didn’t care about these things and said, “Tell me, how was the experience? Your memory wasn’t sealed, so why did it still fail? Why couldn’t your constitution recover?”
The Reincarnation Saint Emperor didn’t hide it and said, “Rebirth is too profound; there are many things I couldn’t understand. But there’s a hypothesis that perhaps the infant’s body couldn’t support my soul, especially since it was a stillborn child to begin with. Innate flaws prevented me from solving this issue in my reincarnated form. If it were you, could you solve it?”
Wang Sheng nodded, “Yes, but there’s no need. If it requires outsider intervention, how can it be called reincarnation?”
The Reincarnation Saint Emperor: “…”
For the first time, he resented Wang Sheng’s desire to create true rebirth.
If it weren’t for this, with Wang Sheng’s help, he might have succeeded.
Couldn’t there be special consideration?
But he’d said he would fully cooperate, leaving no room for refutation.
Nevertheless, this event gave him hope.
Although he hadn’t met Wang Sheng’s expectations, theoretically speaking, rebirth had already succeeded, albeit with significant costs.
Perhaps by the end of the experiment, he could ask Wang Sheng to allow him rebirth.
If it succeeded once, then there must be a second time.
Thinking this way made him feel better.
Meanwhile, Wang Sheng continued, “Since it failed this time, let’s continue.”
Saying that, he took the soul of the Reincarnation Saint Emperor and left.
The original family, through the reversal of time, gained a child who shouldn’t have existed, perhaps, to them, this was a kind of fortune.
A cultivator versed in the art of deduction accidentally saw this and felt a sense of wonder:
“You were destined to be childless, yet you’ve received the help of a sage; such good fortune!”
The couple could only stare at each other, not knowing what had transpired.
Meanwhile, Wang Sheng and the Reincarnation Saint Emperor found their next target.
“Are you at odds with dead people? First, it was a stillborn, and now it’s a dead person again…”
“Didn’t you say it seemed that the infant’s constitution couldn’t accommodate your presence? This time I directly found a recently deceased adult. Since the body is still warm, go in!” Wang Sheng ignored the Reincarnation Saint Emperor’s resistance and directly forced him in.
It wasn’t long before the previously deceased young man came back to life.
The person at this moment was already the Reincarnation Saint Emperor, who was slowly adapting to his new body.
“How’s the situation?” Being a young man, Wang Sheng had no need to hide himself.
“Feels great, it’s a completely different feeling from body seizing. Could it really be resolved…” Before finishing his sentence, the Reincarnation Saint Emperor coughed up a mouthful of blood.
“Are you sure you’re okay?”
“It’s nothing, it’s just the injuries from this body’s past. I’ll heal quickly.” The Reincarnation Saint Emperor was not concerned and felt the issue wasn’t significant.
“Alright, then try to resolve it yourself.” Wang Sheng didn’t interfere, considering that reincarnation was something he wouldn’t meddle in excessively.
Years passed, and Wang Sheng reversed time to resurrect the originally dead young man, as a means of compensating for the karma.
Subsequently, a legend of resurrection after death began to circulate.
Wang Sheng inadvertently gained some faith.
As for the Reincarnation Saint Emperor, who had once again sworn an oath, naturally, he failed again.
The first year, the Reincarnation Saint Emperor healed his injuries.
The second year, his body experienced extremely strong rejection reactions, and no matter how he suppressed it, they would return, even more horrifying than the original infant.
The third year, the Reincarnation Saint Emperor was still suppressing.
The fourth year, the Reincarnation Saint Emperor reincarnated, and died.
The Reincarnation Saint Emperor felt a bit despondent: “This time, it wasn’t healing the injuries, but suppressing the mutations. There wasn’t much feeling at all.”
“It’s fine, I’ve already observed what I wanted to. It doesn’t seem to be a problem with the constitution this time. Although the survival time was longer, it was because there was cultivation to suppress it. If that infant also had cultivation, you could have lived longer.” Wang Sheng made the judgment that now it seems, to truly reincarnate, it must be in the body of an infant.
“What do you plan to do next?” The Reincarnation Saint Emperor knew this was just the beginning!
“In these years, I haven’t been idle. I’ve studied many nurturing beings, and now I can let you be born into a normal infant body. Let’s see if you can succeed this time. Even if you don’t, I hope you gain more information.”
“I understand. I will do my best.”
Thus, Wang Sheng took the soul of the Reincarnation Saint Emperor and again searched relentlessly.
Eventually, he placed him into the fetus of a naturally conceived being.
As time flowed, the Reincarnation Saint Emperor was reborn.
This time, he was suitable and healthy with no unforeseen accidents.
In this lifetime, he lived the longest, five years in total.
After living as a child for five years, the Reincarnation Saint Emperor’s reincarnation ultimately failed, with death as the final result.
Wang Sheng again rewound time, bringing the originally conceived being back, ending the karma, before finally taking the Reincarnation Saint Emperor’s soul and leaving.
“This time, what’s the matter?”
This time, the Reincarnation Saint Emperor was no longer oblivious and said, “I have a suspicion that my soul doesn’t belong to that species. It seemed harmonious at first, but over time, the problems inevitably surfaced, leading to eventual incompatibility between the body and soul, causing my death. Perhaps we should find my own kind.”
“Your own kind?” Wang Sheng was noncommittal.
Reincarnation, if it can only be among the same kind, can it still be called reincarnation?
The Reincarnation Saint Emperor was certainly in agreement.
But Wang Sheng didn’t agree with that point.
Reincarnating only into the same species, what kind of reincarnation is that?
However, since the Reincarnation Saint Emperor suggested it, Wang Sheng was willing to give it a try. If it could reveal more insights, it would be worthwhile, after all, what was here was just an incarnation, and he wasn’t afraid of wasting time.
The Reincarnation Saint Emperor, a figure from hundreds of thousands of years ago, still had a strong race, enduring to the present, and possessed powerful beings in the Twelfth Realm, a large-scale power.
Wang Sheng naturally wouldn’t go to a place guarded by a Twelve Realm Saint Emperor but instead found a remote place and located the Reincarnation Saint Emperor’s kin, allowing him to reincarnate.
As before, there were no abnormalities initially.
But this time, it didn’t last long either, just slightly longer, eight years.
After skillfully resolving the karma, Wang Sheng wasn’t in a hurry to leave with the Reincarnation Saint Emperor, not only because this time he truly lived longer, but also because he finally noticed some issues:
“Your repeated failures are not due to incompatibility nor poor infant constitution, but your soul is not pure enough. You have thoughts, memories, and a soul that is mixed, perhaps not meeting the true conditions for reincarnation, unless I forcibly suppress them.”
Yet the thing is, if he had to forcibly suppress it, would it be considered reincarnation?
Moreover, having experienced so many failures, Wang Sheng’s understanding of reincarnation deepened, feeling that even with his suppression, problems might eventually arise.
The Reincarnation Saint Emperor, as someone who had experienced these firsthand, vaguely sensed the issue: “So what should I do, or rather, what do you intend to do?”
Wang Sheng had long formulated a plan and said:
“I said it before, it’s because your soul is not pure enough that various problems arise. So, as long as your soul becomes purer, many issues can be resolved. If your soul is pure enough, returning to the origin, perhaps your compatibility with all beings would be high enough.”
“Returning to the origin… eliminating everything of mine, returning to the source, but what about my memories?” Reincarnation, the most important aspect is memory. Being a Twelve Realm powerhouse, some memories are extremely valuable.
“It needs to be cleared, but I can help you preserve a backup, which will reawaken at a certain age,” Wang Sheng replied.
The Reincarnation Saint Emperor said no more.
He pondered, if successful, would the awakened self still be him?
That’s a question.
At this time, Wang Sheng continued speaking: “This time, I’m not forcing you. I’ll give you a choice, you can take your time to consider…”
