The Era of Gods

Chapter 606: Chapter 606: The New Godhood – Reincarnation

The infinite laws and divine power swarmed within the black hole, overwhelming his will and plunging him into a drowsy, sinking state. He was completely unable to perceive the outside world, faintly sensing a resonating consciousness transmitting a piece of information to his own, only for it to be instantly washed away by the infinite laws and knowledge.

If he could have heard it, the message from this never-before-seen resonating consciousness would translate to something like this:

“Poor child, you must be starving. Once you’ve eaten your fill, I’ll take you to find your mother!”

The tone and all certainly wouldn’t be this way, but the meaning translated would be essentially the same.

The black hole showed no reaction, only continually exuding a powerful gravitational pull that ceaselessly devoured chaos energy and shattered world fragments, its energy fluctuations growing ever stronger.

In this state, Lin Xiao’s incarnation underwent a tremendous transformation as well.

The previously condensed body of the Lord of Chaos collapsed, merging with the infinite chaos energy and law fragments to begin reassembling, constructing a new, powerful form.

The chaotic laws originally held within the incarnation had already been stripped away, and in their place was the purest form of chaos, the same chaotic body as that of the creatures living in the Chaos Sea of Void.

However, the many law fragments he had consumed did not vanish but instead coalesced at the very center of the black hole around the remnants of this shattered Crystal Wall Universe’s origin, forming a divinity under his conscious control.

This divinity was not mighty, but it was fostering hundreds of different godhoods.

After Lin Xiao became a black hole, the remaining will of the Crystal Wall System’s origin was eroded by the black hole’s fearsome power, slowly obliterated, and on the foundation of the remaining origin core, the consumed world fragments enriched with numerous laws were melted into it, artificially stimulated to nurture.

Lin Xiao did not understand why he hadn’t died yet, but not being dead was a good thing. It was an opportunity to condense the essence of this world, refining a powerful divine position to pass on to his true body through the Creation Rubik’s Cube—a worthwhile visit to this world, even if he later died, it would not be in vain.

The divine position he was condensing was centered around the concept of cycles, melding creation with life and other related divine positions like growth, reproduction, and so on, forming an origin composite divine position.

With the Balance divine position held by his true body as the core, augmented by the divine positions of spring, summer, autumn, and winter, he formed a new composite Balance divine position.

Destruction as the main theme, along with death and other related divine positions, merged to form a composite Destruction divine position.

Such composite divine positions are simply an enhanced version of the current divine position.

For example, the War divine position, aside from warfare itself, actually includes combat, conflict, conquest, strategy, tactics, fighting, warriors, and other related divine positions. A powerful God of War must possess all the following divine positions.

Just like the God of Death encompasses not only the Death divine job but also that of the undead and similar divine positions.

The system of divine positions is very complex, and most lower true gods or those beneath that level do not understand these intricacies.

Utilizing the divine positions he held and harnessing the residual laws of an entire Crystal Wall Universe, Lin Xiao successfully synthesised the origins, balance, and destruction—these three composite laws, encompassing an entire world’s birth, destruction, and cycle.

And yet, that was not the end. After successfully merging these three supremely powerful divine positions, he took the Truth divine position as the core, integrated the previously mastered cycle laws, and successfully unified these mighty divine positions into a new one—Reincarnation!

Every world has reincarnation, not unique to tales of Eastern Immortal Knights.

People have the cycle of life and death, worlds have the cycle of creation and destruction, and even Crystal Wall Universes have the cycle of origins and endings.

Using fragments of numerous broken laws from a Crystal Wall Universe, Lin Xiao successfully fused the immensely powerful divine position of Reincarnation.

The moment this divine position was born, a mysterious fluctuation emerged, and he instantly threw this entity into the Creation Magic Cube to shield its fluctuations.

Having completed these tasks, Lin Xiao breathed a sigh of relief. Solidifying this divine position made the trip worthwhile, and even if this incarnation were to die immediately, it would have been worth it.

“Phoenix and Shadow Wind certainly didn’t expect I’d have such an encounter!”

There was no need for wild guesses, no need for evidence; he had already deduced that the culprits were one of them, if not both Phoenix and Shadow Wind.

The specific trials set by the Emperor of Myriad Forms for the three inheritors had not yet appeared before they had already started to eliminate their competition.

Although the rules forbade preemptive foul play, rules are rigid, people are flexible. As long as no evidence was caught, who could prove it was their doing?

Upon introspection, Lin Xiao himself wouldn’t have resisted the temptation to strike in secret.

In any case, he had firmly pinned the blame on both of them, regardless of their admission or whether they were truly the instigators. He believed they were responsible.

Meanwhile, in the Subspace of the Main World, the Super War Fortress Yan Huang Number Five had activated its vast energy shield. Warnings from the Super War Fortress alarmed the civilians still within the fortress, causing a buzz of shock and prompting them to leave or seek shelter. The channels within the fortress were in disarray as everyone speculated about what was happening.

In the heart of the fortress, more than a dozen military high-ranking officers, all with powerful divine power, gathered. They were all powerful divine power.

With Commander Xie Tianyan at the helm, his true body was present to take command, ready to withstand an encounter with a great entity — a task that required his personal oversight to fend off.

The fortress had only initiated the first layer of its defensive barrier, which was already able to withstand a full-on strike from great divine power. Should the fortress come under attack, the second layer of the official defense would be promptly activated. @@novelbin@@

After all, activating the barrier even once consumes a terrifying amount of energy, and it is used only when necessary.

However, they waited for a long time without any signs of disturbance. Commander Xie Tianyan, with a furrowed brow, sat at the head of the table while General Lei Xuanji, after hesitating, spoke:

“It hasn’t arrived yet?”

An old general with white hair pressed the bell in front of him, beckoning a colonel who entered. He quietly ordered:

“Go inquire about Major General Lin Xiao’s situation!”

A while later, the Colonel arrived at a high tower located at a great distance from the core of the fortress. This tower, remote from the core, contained an extremely long-range teleportation array. Should the fortress fail to stop the enemy, it would immediately banish him to attract the enemy’s attention.

It sounds like a set-up, yet it is necessary. They cannot, after all, risk the fortress falling to save him; the consequences would be too terrifying.

At that moment, Lin Xiao was comforting Xie Yufei. When he saw the inquiring Colonel, Lin Xiao was somewhat embarrassed because he could not be certain of the current situation.

As for safety, even his incarnation was unclear about its condition and naturally could not provide an answer.

But to speak of danger, there was none. Under normal circumstances, he should have been killed by a mere finger poke, but he was alive and unharmed, which puzzled him.

In the command room, the senior officers were speechless at his response. After a brief discussion, it was Commander Xie who decided to continue waiting.

Well, there was no other choice.

Inside the tower, Lin Xiao had a hard time soothing his girlfriend, letting Xie Yufei leave. He then quickly immersed his consciousness into the Creation Rubik’s Cube and saw the Divinity that was slowly rotating within the Magic Cube.

Reincarnation Divine Position!

He reached into the Magic Cube Space, seized the Divinity, thought for a moment, and with a mental command, the Creation Rubik’s Cube slowly turned, streams of Creation Energy pouring out and forming a layer of light membrane around the Divinity, sealing off the radiating fluctuations.

Reincarnation, as a divine position, was extremely rare. Once it appeared in the world, there would be immediate cosmic signs, much like Qiao Feng with an in-built BGM speaker—if not sealed, the whole world would soon become aware.

After finishing these procedures, he removed the Divinity from the Creation Rubik’s Cube. The invisible fluctuations were sealed by the Creation Energy membrane, but that wouldn’t last long. Lin Xiao immediately pressed the Divinity against his forehead, and the thirty-six-faced rhombic crystal melded into and vanished from his forehead.

Then, golden divine light burst forth, and surges of powerful divine power emanated from within him, quickly enveloping him in a golden cocoon of light.

Merging with a Divinity was not an easy task, typically containing remnants of the original owner’s spiritual mark and requiring refinement before they could slowly integrate.

Moreover, merging with a divine position required understanding the rules contained within over time, a process that could not be rushed.

But this time, the Divinity was condensed by Lin Xiao’s own incarnation, essentially his own, requiring only acceptance.

With the surging divine power stirring, his aura grew increasingly mighty.

Though his Godhood Level had not increased, with the fusion of the powerful Reincarnation Divine Position, his mastery over various rules leaped forward, and his strength naturally rose, even with the same level of divine power, leading to a significant boost in prowess.

However, as the divine position fusion came to an end, a problem emerged – the Reincarnation Divine Position…had split.

His Sixth Level Godhood wasn’t sufficient to hold together this vastly potent divine position. After thoroughly refining the Divinity, it automatically split into four divine positions: Origin, Balance, Destruction, and Truth, with several Race Divine Positions derived from them.

But this was no big deal; if it couldn’t coalesce now, he just had to wait until his deity level advanced to above tenth level with Medium Divine Power. It wouldn’t have any significant impact.

It is worth mentioning that all three of these divine positions belong to Ancient Gods’ Divinities.

And so, Lin Xiao’s Divine Panel varied with the change of divine positions.
