Chapter 1932 - 1937: Earth-Shattering Secret

"Since Reincarnation exists, that means there must be a way to control it. This world is vast, yet also small, and in the meanwhile, Reincarnation will inevitably be taken advantage of by people." Dugu Aotian spoke up to this point, then fell silent, letting Lin Fei imagine the rest for himself.

Lin Fei thought for a bit, then nodded. "I think I’ve grasped something."

"Heh, this turning of the Wheel of Destiny will completely change this heaven and earth. Lin Fei, to be honest, I don’t know if you were just born at the wrong time, or if you’re fated to be unfortunate. Born in this era, you’ll ultimately become one of the cannon fodder." Dugu Aotian said.

"What do you mean?" Lin Fei asked. "Are you saying that I’m going to die?"

Dugu Aotian smiled and didn’t answer, becoming enigmatic. It was as if he knew something, yet also as if he didn’t, which left Lin Fei thoroughly puzzled.

"What he means is that once the Wheel of Destiny turns, anyone might die, and anyone might live." A voice rang out. Lin Fei turned his head—it was Qingzhi?

"Senior Qingzhi, what do you mean by that?" Lin Fei asked in confusion. Only now did he finally realize that he was practically an ignorant fool, and at this moment he discovered just how vast this world truly was.

"There are things you’ll find out sooner or later. All of you will, sooner or later. I’ll tell you in advance. This Wheel of Destiny is the law of heaven and earth. But some powerful beings have made use of that law, sealing themselves just like Dugu Aotian did, waiting for another breakthrough, hoping to become even stronger. You get it now?" Qingzhi said.

Hearing Qingzhi’s words, Lin Fei was shocked. Someone actually used the Power of Reincarnation?

"The Power of Reincarnation can be exploited?" Lin Fei was utterly stunned. This news was like a massive bomb stuffed into his mind, then detonated!

"Heh, any kind of power can be controlled. It’s only because your current strength is insufficient that you feel it’s out of reach. But once you reach a sufficient height, you’ll realize that power is something you can pick up as you please." Qingzhi said.

Lin Fei nodded. "Then with the Wheel of Destiny being activated this time, does that mean powerhouses will return?"

Qingzhi smiled and nodded. "These powerhouses have gone through tens of millions of years, enduring the trials of the Power of Reincarnation, treating every lifetime and every world as a form of Cultivation, a process of accumulating strength. Perhaps Dugu Aotian is also one of those strong ones, one of the four paths of the Power of Reincarnation? Once his mission is complete, or once he dies, that power will return to Reincarnation and form a new cycle of rotation."

"Senior Qingzhi, could you... not use me as an example? I’m standing right here." Hearing himself being talked about in terms of dying, Dugu Aotian felt rather uncomfortable.

Qingzhi smiled and said, "Got it, I was just joking. I only wanted to tell Lin Fei that the Power of Reincarnation will become the force by which many experts return."

At this moment, Lin Fei had a doubt lodged in his heart, circling there over and over, making him desperate to know the answer.

"Senior Qingzhi, I want to ask you a question. Please, you must answer me!" Lin Fei said.

Hearing this, Qingzhi looked at Lin Fei and asked, "Go ahead. What are you confused about? If it’s something I can say, I’ll definitely tell you."

Lin Fei nodded and said, "I’d like to ask, Senior Qingzhi—why do these powerhouses want to return?!"

"..."

This question not only rendered Qingzhi silent, but Dugu Aotian as well. Qingzhi’s silence was because he wasn’t sure whether he should tell Lin Fei this matter. Dugu Aotian’s silence was because he himself didn’t know the reason. After all, he wasn’t that old yet; it was impossible for him to know everything.

"What’s wrong, Senior Qingzhi? Is this one of those things you can’t talk about?" Lin Fei asked.

Qingzhi sighed. He didn’t answer Lin Fei’s question, but instead looked up at the sky around them and said, "Look at the sky. Hasn’t the sky grown old?"

The two of them looked at the heavens around them. A desolate aura washed over them, like a decrepit old man, full of the marks of time.

Lin Fei frowned. "Isn’t this the same sky as before?"

Qingzhi gave Lin Fei a surprised look and said, "You’re right—the sky is no longer the sky it used to be. The heavens are different now. So I hope you can understand: even the mightiest experts still have opponents. We are merely a fragment within the time of the world. Even immortality is only a segment within the river of time."

Hearing this, Lin Fei and Dugu Aotian both fell into deep thought. Yes—time is endless!

"Is time truly endless? Is the world truly endless? Is power truly endless? Is there really no source to all things? Or is it that power is simply not enough?"

Lin Fei sank into contemplation, constantly speculating. To an ant, a small room might be an entire great world. To a mouse, a single town might be the whole sky; it would never know what lies beyond the sky. For a human, people once thought Earth was the end of the world, the starting point of everything. But as time passed, humanity discovered that beyond this world, things were far vaster!

The world outside is the Milky Way, and beyond that is the universe. Is the universe the end? No!

That’s only because humans have yet to break through the boundary of the universe, just as they once had yet to leave Earth. To humanity, the Milky Way is like Earth’s atmosphere, and the universe might also be nothing more than another layer of Earth’s atmosphere. If they ever break through it, there may be an even broader heaven and earth beyond!

"So, what we call endlessness is actually just a result of insufficient power, and at the same time it proves that power itself has no limit..." Lin Fei thought to himself.

Qingzhi watched Lin Fei, sensing the change and elevation in his aura, as if some mysterious force within him was constantly growing stronger.

"Looks like he’s had some sort of enlightenment." Qingzhi said.

To Qingzhi, the amount of power this world requires is simply far too great. He was amazed by Lin Fei’s talent, but even more he hoped that Lin Fei would turn out to be some terrifyingly powerful existence. Otherwise, for someone with talent as great as Lin Fei to be born into this chaotic era would truly be a kind of sorrow, a kind of sin.

Lin Fei had no idea what awaited him next, but he knew it definitely wouldn’t be anything good.

"Alright, let’s head in quickly. Ten days from now, we’ll be preparing to watch the Wheel of Destiny!" Qingzhi said.

Lin Fei and the others nodded, then followed Qingzhi as they returned to that gigantic castle!!
