Facing the various atrocities of Mo Qingyou, Zhou Ruoxi, who had been turned into a puppet, simply could not bear to continue watching any longer.
Thus, just as her Master was about to be turned into a puppet by her Junior Sister, and just as Mo Qingyou was about to drain his cultivation to turn him into a living corpse…
Zhou Ruoxi gathered every last bit of her remaining strength and resolutely chose to destroy her own primordial spirit—Bingjie!
She wanted to completely end this boundless torture, even if it meant her Soul Dispersal!
However, in the cycle of the Heavenly Dao, there was a glimmer of hope.
In her former life, Zhou Ruoxi never expected that the common people she had saved with her talisman techniques when the Righteous-Demonic War broke out would feel so much gratitude toward her.
Those mortals who had received her favors remembered her virtue and spontaneously built shrines for her while she was still alive, offering worship day and night.
Although that Incense power of prayer was weak, it flowed on without end.
Zhou Ruoxi’s resolute Bingjie unexpectedly touched the mysterious Incense God Path.
Her soul, which should have vanished due to the Bingjie, did not return to nothingness under the guidance and convergence of the countless sincere prayers of the people.
Instead, in a manner similar to the Mountain God of her mother’s family who had been enfeoffed by the Kingdom of Jin, she relied on the faith of the commoners to re-condense her divine soul within the Incense!
Passing through long years like this, she not only stabilized her divine soul through this unique Incense God Path but also step by step re-condensed a divine body.
Her cultivation actually became even superior to what it was before she was killed by Mo Qingyou!
At that time, a completely insane Mo Qingyou was already controlling her army of puppets, nearly turning the entire Kongxuan Realm into a purgatory.
The world was precarious, the people wept blood, and Heaven and Earth shared the sorrow.
Zhou Ruoxi, who had gained a new life and attained godhood yet carried endless sorrowful memories.
Looking at the devastated world, there was no more mercy in her heart for her own Junior Sister.
Only the responsibility to save the common people and end this catastrophe that had started from Duanqing Peak remained.
Finally, at the critical moment of survival, Zhou Ruoxi, who had reached the Mahayana stage of the Incense God Path, burned her own divine source and Incense foundation to draw an unprecedented Heavenly Law Borrowing Talisman!
Then, using herself as a medium, Zhou Ruoxi borrowed the magnificent power of the Heavenly Dao from the origin will of this world!
It was a collision sufficient to completely annihilate the sun, moon, and stars, and to redefine the elements of earth, fire, water, and wind.
Zhou Ruoxi’s divine light, brilliant to the extreme, intertwined and annihilated with Mo Qingyou’s all-consuming Demonic Aura in mid-air.
When everything finally returned to peace, Mo Qingyou along with the puppet empire she had created were completely turned to ash by Zhou Ruoxi.
And Zhou Ruoxi’s divine body and soul also dissipated like a candle in the wind under that power which exceeded all limits.
At the final moment before Zhou Ruoxi’s consciousness was about to fall into the boundless darkness.
Zhou Ruoxi was reborn.
Carrying various memories of her former life, whether painful or beautiful, she returned once again to her childhood when she had just been born.
She returned to her youth, a time when fate had not yet departed and all the painful tragedies had not yet occurred.
Carrying a body full of the frost of time and endless regrets, as well as that mysterious “Five Senses Control Magic Pattern” System in her mind, Zhou Ruoxi had returned through rebirth.
Afterward, having returned through rebirth, she relied on the various knowledge and memories accumulated in her former life to help her mother, the Royal Consort, and her Royal Brother avoid one palace political crisis after another.
A year ago, she successfully seized power and launched a military coup, personally killing those enemies from her former life in the palace once again and supporting her Royal Brother, Zhou Ruolin, to take the throne as the Emperor of the Kingdom of Jin.
The reason Zhou Ruoxi did all this was to prepare as much as possible for the future Righteous-Demonic War and the violent blackening of the Fourth Junior Sister, Mo Qingyou.
Because in her former life, she had already proven the feasibility of the path of attaining godhood through the Incense God Path.
So in this life, she very early on used her System to establish her own religious power.
Zhou Ruoxi’s System was named the “Five Senses Control Magic Pattern” System.
As the name suggested, she could place Magic Pattern imprints on the people around her that could control their perceptions, turning them into believers who would follow her every word.
At the same time, Zhou Ruoxi could also control their perceptions to make them immune to pain and fight more bravely the more they battled.
Relying on this function of the System, Zhou Ruoxi had long ago cultivated a large number of death soldiers.
Ultimately, a year ago, she relied on these fanatic death soldiers to help her own brother take power.
At the same time, after Zhou Ruolin became Emperor, Zhou Ruoxi also began to spread a religious faith based on herself among the common people of the Kingdom of Jin.
Her plan was to make her religion become the state religion of the Kingdom of Jin and even other surrounding countries within three years.
This was so that she could become a god as quickly as possible in this life, possessing powerful strength sufficient to protect her own Master and even the people of the entire Kongxuan Realm.
However, even though she was deep within the Imperial Palace of the Kingdom of Jin, her thoughts for her Master and her other sisters had never ceased.
During these years after her rebirth, she had been closely following the movements of the Xuling Sect’s Duanqing Peak and her other sisters.
Do not be fooled by the fact that Zhou Ruoxi was merely settled in a corner of the Kingdom of Jin; in reality, she held the trends of the world in the palm of her hand.
As early as when Lu Li had just crossed over and been picked up by the previous Peak Lord of Duanqing Peak, she had noticed the existence of her Master, Lu Li, and had been closely watching him from the Imperial Palace.
As for the whereabouts of those other sisters, they had mostly been investigated by Zhou Ruoxi and her secret agents.
She had even realized very early on that she was far from being the only Reincarnator who had returned with a System.
After all, the behavioral styles of her Second Senior Sister and Junior Sister after their rebirth were simply too flamboyant.
To the point that after she received news, it was difficult not to see that the two of them were also Reincarnators who had returned!
After all, the counterattack and rise of the Gu family’s concubine daughter, and a certain little beggar in Yicheng rising to become the Sect Leader of the Pill Cauldron Pavilion—with the connections and information network Zhou Ruoxi had mastered in the years after her rebirth, it would be difficult for the things Gu Qingying and Gong Shangyu did after their rebirth not to attract her attention.
After Zhou Ruoxi became the Regent of the Kingdom of Jin, those deceptive concealment methods used by Gong Shangyu and Gu Qingying were even more transparent than glass in her eyes.
Therefore, when she learned that her Junior Sister Gu Qingying had actually turned everything upside down by sending their Senior Sister to the Heavenly Sword Sect, she immediately smiled knowingly in the Imperial Palace, realizing that her Junior Sister was also a Reincarnator.
As for her quirky Second Senior Sister, she was undoubtedly a Reincarnator as well.
After all, if Gong Shangyu really had the ability to create the massive foundation of the Pill Cauldron Pavilion with her own strength, then she wouldn’t have been in such a state of hunger and cold in her former life that she had to be picked up and brought back to Duanqing Peak by their Master.
However, even after realizing that her sisters were likely Reincarnators just like her, Zhou Ruoxi was still in no hurry to acknowledge them.
Because compared to acknowledging them, Zhou Ruoxi had more important things to do, which was to accumulate power and protect her Master as much as possible, so that the Mo Qingyou who returned through rebirth would not walk the evil path of the former life again.
Yes, Mo Qingyou was also a Reincarnator.
Zhou Ruoxi had realized this very early on, because from the moment she first realized she had returned through rebirth, she had always wanted to reverse Mo Qingyou’s fate of blackening.
She wanted to use her own words and deeds to influence the Mo Qingyou of this life and lead the Mo Qingyou who was destined to blacken back to the right track.
However, when Zhou Ruoxi followed her former life memories to find the cave Mo Qingyou mentioned living in before she was picked up by Master, she could not find any trace of Mo Qingyou inside.
Later, after much investigation, she realized that her Fourth Junior Sister had likely already fallen into the Demonic Path.
So she had been accumulating power all these years, preparing to deal with Mo Qingyou’s blackening and rampage.
However, just as she was confidently preparing for the future crisis, a large-scale Dream Phenomenon event suddenly broke out in the Imperial Capital of the Kingdom of Jin, symbolizing the imminent collision between the Magic Realm and the Kongxuan Realm.
Realizing that various crises from the former life might break out in the Kongxuan Realm early due to the butterfly effect caused by herself and the other Reincarnators, Zhou Ruoxi immediately spurred her horses, speeding up the preparation for her godhood plan.
Right at this time, she suddenly received news that Lu Li had brought two disciples a month ago to resolve the Yin Corpse Sect crisis that had broken out in Yangzhou City.
Therefore, in order to see her Master again, and also to have Master help her investigate some trivial matters so she could free herself from them to better focus on her cultivation—and also to better protect Master Lu Li and the other sisters when the crisis broke out—Zhou Ruoxi specially planned this trip for Master Lu Li and his disciples to the Imperial Capital of the Kingdom of Jin, inviting Master and the two sisters to the capital in the name of her Royal Brother.
And she invited the Senior Sister Feng Lingshuang—who was suspected to be the only normal person in the current timeline and had already been turned into the top disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect’s leader by her Junior Sister—to the capital. On the surface, it was to have her participate in the Royal Family’s Secret Realm Trial as the representative of the Heavenly Sword Sect, but in reality, she was called to Yicheng to be protected.
It could be said that the reborn Zhou Ruoxi had exhausted her heart for these loved ones and friends from her former life!
Watching his sister’s worried face, the Emperor of the Kingdom of Jin, Zhou Ruolin, keenly captured the change in her emotions, but he did not pry deeper, only expressing his concern.
“Even I can clearly see that among those sisters from your former life, not one of them is easy to deal with. Are you sure you still want to return to his side? To get caught up in their conflicts?”
Zhou Ruoxi met her brother’s gaze, her eyes exceptionally firm without any sign of hesitation:
“I must go back… Master’s side is full of hidden dangers. The various regrets of the former life must absolutely not manifest again in this life.”
Having said that, Zhou Ruoxi paused, a cold glint faintly flashing in her ice-blue eyes:
“If they stay in their place and sincerely serve Master just as they did in the former life, then I will naturally live in peace with them. But if the two of them dare to harbor thoughts they shouldn’t have, like the Fourth Junior Sister Mo Qingyou did in the former life, or even harm or kill Master… I will make them realize exactly what kind of price they will pay for provoking me!”
There was an unquestionable determination and powerful self-confidence in Zhou Ruoxi’s words.
Clearly, having returned through rebirth, she not only brought with her the various memories of her former life, but it seemed she also possessed a deeper foundation and stronger power.
A power strong enough to protect Master Lu Li!
