Deviator of Fates

Reincarnation Hall

Based on the Universe time flow rate it would take nearly six months for him to smuggle to God's domain, but given that I have given him cloud mud, and things I am about to do, may be he will reach there a little too soon.

Any way, my next goal is Reincarnation Hall. Based on my knowledge, this place has a hallucinatory fragrance that put you into all sorts of illusions, so I fully covered in shield and perception set to minimum and opened a portal directly inside.

The portal deposited me onto a stone staircase. Before me loomed the imposing statue of Chi You holding multiple weapons in each hand, while beyond the structure lay the desolate Abyss demon lands. My presence when it set to this minimum means I am in a higher reality that can phase through absolutely anything.

I withdraw my presence to normal. "I am the soul of Reincarnation hall. Whoever enters...." The hall spirit encountered me and continues while I observed the statues present.

"I don't need divine abilities," I interrupted, "but I want to test whether my Nine Li bloodline can command the Reincarnation Land."

Drawing upon creation energy, I devoured the tip of my finger. Golden blood tinted with purple shades welled up from the wound. So this is my blood color, I mused. I almost thought I'd been poisoned.

The blood drop struck the platform below. The response came swiftly: "Your blood has some origins from the Nine Li clan, but it has undergone mutation and carries other lineages. You may use the reincarnation hall, though not the soul tool in its entirety, should you pass the following trial."

The blood drop flew back to my wound, healing it seamlessly. This marked the first time I'd witnessed that particular ability in action.

A golden crow appeared, guiding me toward the trial grounds. The challenge required eliminating waves of soldiers ~ beginning with thousands of mortals and culminating with three great perfection true Gods. I had to absorb their memory flames. The LoHP within my soul organized everything perfectly, and I claimed the reincarnation soul tool. Following the instructions, I refined it and sent my consciousness inside.

Memory Vault

77 Million Quadrillion memory flames are here, anyone who ever where to live on God domain forever until now starting with Chi You. Creation energy was tasked with absorbing knowledge regarding techniques, true meanings, and peculiar details. 

It was a shit load of information.

Two months passed within the vault. By the end, I had acquired the true meaning of void destruction, the true meaning of yin yang primal chaos, the true meaning of goodwill and evil, half of the true meaning of eternal sword will, the true meaning of samsara, the true meaning of soul sealing destruction, and countless others. Thousands of flawless techniques followed, showing how to transform multiple divine daos into practical everyday concepts. I gained knowledge of primal chaos, the Mother world, attempts at merging divine daos, and higher realms.

Essentially just like in the universe we used true essence control laws in that unreal world. In real world, divine Dao is just starting, laws of greater chaos is influenced by 3000 daos. Sons of Truths are flawed attempts at comprehension of merging dao energy. Fundamentally, energy is the source of all, from which Dao and concepts began to form.

This information elevated my foundational essence cultivation technique ~ the Sovereign energy axis of the boundless technique ~ by one step. Similarly, LoHP discovered a method to merge 2,700 divine daos together.

Claiming the God Domain

My next objective involved refining the will of the God Domain itself. I modified my shield to devour anything beyond my protection while keeping me covered. The portal opened into Saint Mountain, deep within the time sea. Water from the time sea had flooded the passage, making stable movement impossible for most.

I navigated to the center of a colorful desert surrounded by an ocean of time. The time is essentially haywire every where, but the concept of absolute time retained however I want, within my shield.

At the exact center, a cross-shaped symbol floated in the air. I enveloped it within my shield.

The symbol began forming a baby's body the moment I provided cover. I applied my spiritual will to directly penetrate it instead of absorbing and refining. It can be said the newly born consciousness is now like a puppet. The same symbol materialized on my forehead through my authority over it. Suddenly, the entire God domain felt like my internal world ~ under my control.

The control remained incomplete. Full merger would grant me greater authority. But I don't plan too.

The purge

I have thought about it, I will start with eliminating Xuanyuan guards hiding within God Domain who sends their location to the void to destroy this world just because of past and current rivalries.

Just with a thought I appeared on the northern star Fusang world tree. They were present, sealed within a spider web like structure. Their plan was to control abyss demon region eventually to break their seal.

"Who? ..." The sealed figures sensed my presence as I lowered my perception through aura but not visible to be recorded in memory.

"That can wait. Are you all Xuanyuan guards?" I asked innocently, though I already knew the answer.

"Playing ghost! How dare you not answer?" One of them attacked me with power. I redirected it toward saint mountain, learning how power transfer worked. I felt transparent for that moment ~ when the attack reached me, it passed through me via the connection to God Domain. Without the ability to break down the entire God Domain at once, such attacks proved useless.

"I will ask you again. Are you or are you not?"

This time, the speaker came from the topmost position ~ likely their leader.

"Yes."

"Then you can die." I had been toying with them until now, for there is nothing more worthwhile than making people so arrogant in power feel helpless slowly . 

Then I used the power of silence in abyssal lands to those seals. Seeing those weren't really enough, my shield enveloped them with the rule of absolute space. Devouring began inside. Their seals washed away. The same power of the scepter in Shi Xiaoqio's hands unleashed from me. Time was frozen across God Domain.

And their attempts to attack using paramita level power meant nothing against the devouring force. I controlled it so only their treasures and heads remained intact. Even their yang souls were consumed.

I teleported with the heads to the scattered member named old Hu, whom I remembered from the memory flames of these guards. The moment I arrived, he saw the floating heads and tried to attack and escape.

Instead, he found himself trapped within the shield, tearing away his old bones into pure energy and died, leaving only his head. 

This is why I don't usually try to act like main character instead just advance and mind my own business. Give a person absolute power, its always a victory.

Preemptive Strike

Somehow Dongfang Chunjun was alerted of their deaths. Can't complain since I even stopped time for a moment, and may be some jade that shatters upon death of a person connected alerted him. I don't plan to leave him alive so that he can inform Xuanyuan guards in motherworld via other-shore about God Domain. That guy is a little too delusional with his love for someone else's wife.

" How did you....Not good." Seeing me raise his hands to capture him, and noticing the heads floating around, he tried to teleport only to slam on to the shield of absolute space time. His connection to the internal world is also cut off.

" You have other shore aura...you've been there?" I asked. " Yes. What do you want? Release me this instant. Yin Yang torrent open for me." He tried channeling his techniques, but they all were like fireflies against flames.

My will entered and located his connection to God Domain. " I don't particularly hate you for any grudge, its just you can be a nuisance sometime so sorry and good bye." I said my final words to Saint.

A simple crush of my hands shattered his internal universe completely, transforming it into true essence that flowed back into God Domain. " What did you do??"

For the first time I saw a terrified expression on his face. I have gone through the memory flames of the people related to him.He is like a supreme authority among the saints...

From people aligned to a cause, to enemies upon love for a woman, willing to disclose information of God Domain to Mother world. Yes there is nothing wrong with that. People with power can have great ambition.

But his existence only leaves me trouble of early arrival of Xuanyuan Guards. Then it will affect the future plans.

"Anyway, you can rest for a while. Atleast you are more than 100 billion God Era's old. I am planning to reincarnate you into a God citizen too. Don't worry I will do that after I deal with Yue Yinliu a little while later."

As for seeing me before death, even in his memory flame after death others will only see a shadow as my perception didn't allow him to fully see me.

I willed a new rule onto the central ruling slate: "In all of God Domain, exterminate all Xuanyuan Guards and anyone related to them in good faith, completely without any mercy."

The rule took effect, thunder gathered for a long time before unleashing a powerful strike. Approximately five thunder tribulations struck different locations, killing many. The ones in the west extremity tree and similar trees also perished.

The Dongfang Chunjun was a major figure that had made the saint hall possible. He is referred as Saint Emperor for a reason. Finding Dongfang Chunjun die completely with his universe, everyone trembled in fear, not knowing what was happening. But its not like the clan going no where.

They still have some saints within. The new rule on the tablet also gave them certain clues. I had eliminated certain romantic chances for our main character and other daozis directly by doing these.

Blood cursing fish bone skeleton existed ~ a huge beast skeleton responsible for killing every Nine Li Clan member using bloodline connections. Originally, cities were raided to capture people and sacrifice them to use this weapon against Luo Zheng. I chopped it down using my abilities, destroying it completely.

My bloodline came from transfusion rather than direct inheritance, so the surviving Nine Li race wouldn't develop any connection to mine, its more like taking in members from public. This approach wasn't meant to gain their approval or appear heroic. I didn't plan to present myself as a hero to them either.

My goal was simply to get a feeling of the main character for a while until I go back to relieving my duties again. Make Luo Zheng deviate from the actual story without him claiming all the achievements. I planned to make him to accept the bloodline of chaos ancient gods and rescue the exiles at the bottom of the chaos, just like in the story claiming to save the Nine Li or God Domain as they were useful in mother world. How else would Fuxi stop his 20 billion year old retreat and go back to mother world. 

Liberation

I visited the floating Island prison of the Dongfang clan. It is just underneath the previous fusang tree. Luo Xiao lay under an array with soul suppression. I removed the supply of life divine dao that kept him in a half-death state.

"Thanks for letting me use your internal world," I said. With that, he died, destined to be reborn in his internal world.

After raising the Luo clan and other floating island that was at the bottom of the time sea fearing immediate sink, a bit higher I left the place.

My next stop was the separate space of earth underworld in Han Clan territory. I deposited the heads of all Xuanyuan Guards except a few and the rest of their remains. I also left a body that Dongfang Chunjun had forged for someone in his storage ring. I copied the spirit crow again and tossed it into my inner world.

Some saints had been punished by thunder tribulation, but I didn't concern myself with them.

Shortly after that witnessing all that, I left for some peaceful cultivation.

Othershore Adventures

With much free time to go, I entered abyss demonic land near the twin demon bodies and completely set the shield to cover and block any entry to that 6th floor. The fire lotus demon is weak now and ice lotus is blazing. 

I simply stayed a bit further and began my first access to other shore. I naturally went with dao of true meaning of nature that I fully understood in its entirety. I couldn't enter. I lowered my mental shields and then tried, this time it worked, as my subconscious is chanting the natural divine dao continuously, I appeared on a boat at the beginning of the other shore.

I tried accessing creation energy, and it worked. I could put on mental shield and go all the way to end, but if my soul needs to advance, to yang soul it needs to go further by itself, slowly the boat moves in the sea of true meaning. I noticed quite a few souls at the distance and decided to venture ahead. 

Halfway to the first shore, I experienced a sort of difficulty in moving further against the winds. I scanned the memories of those trying along me and understood the illusion breaking technique they used to exit the lands. Another half distance, I had enough. I couldn't continue further.

I exited.

Within the next few months, I began to learn the true meaning of goodwill and malice. It seems true meaning of good will and evil had similar affinity as natural true meaning to me. Because in my life I have opportunity to switch constantly between the goodwill and malice, knowing certain outcomes.

Finally I took upon the true meaning of void destruction and eternal sword, without trying to understand them yet reading them naturally as a state of its own yet comprehending its nature later, I began to understand true meaning of dao is about. It is end of this 3rd world's existence. Beyond dao abilities transform to true meaning divine abilities when used. The soul of my body rapidly increased in strength with each new true meaning comprehension. 

With new true meanings, I reached the nine point line away from first shore. The ocean is turbulent, due to inexperience, I fell to sea before exiting to other side. Nothing happened. I was covered in creation energy mental shield. I looked around to find few fellow travelers who were trailing me looking at my blur of the soul in ocean with wide eyes and gaping.

The boat will start to sink soon, so I didn't try to stay out for long in the ocean. I swam over to get up and reach the boat, then got on it as if nothing happened. I exited othershore normally as boat was damaged and re entered again. I of-course made the perception of myself to minimum, so usually others could only see a lonely boat in the sea .

I didn't care.

In the sea usually no one could see the true shape of the soul but a shadow atleast, but on land they can. Well there are many indeed trailing me and trying to contact me, or to check if there really is some one on it, even to the point of using soul abilities to attack. The legend of lonely boat is also spread somewhat.

I reached the first shore, by the end of three months of comprehension and attempts. My soul has grown vastly from before. Now I have a yang soul. Just as the name says lonely boat, I was trying to be one. But people have been waiting to see my true appearance on land and they were disappointed to find none. Considering there is a maple temple where a soul crystal is there, I tried to invoke my soul to teleport but it didn't work, but it actually made my whole body cross to other-shore, so I didn't try it again.

I slowly went there, devoid of anyone's interference directly infront of the temple. I can't copy the othershore tokens completely, because if I do there will be no power attached to them from the abstruse world. But I can copy things like soul crystal within. I made multiples of those and consumed on spot and kept some backups.

The strength has grown massively. The soul crystal inside is purified by purifying light so it had no contaminants and was perfectly absorbed. My soul power is enough for me to go to 8th or 9th layer directly. I continued to second heaven end.

My soul easily reached the Violet Soul realm soon after. Thanks to consuming numerous copies of Purified Soul crystal that even the leaders of mother world find difficult to gather in quantity.

I could feel it becoming almost like a physical body, capable of exerting force equal to what my physical form had possessed when first entering the Othershore. Upon reaching this milestone, I suddenly gained the ability to transform my soul easily. With a simple act of will, my Nuwa shape condensed back to that of a man ~ my original face restored.

Returning back I ended my paramita journey.

Cause and Effect

It's time to identify what changed in the outside world. The control over heaven's will increased fully. Now I can form my clone every where on the planet, even take over the consciousness of true gods existing in here for myself. 

The changes outside were big, Han Quindi was in bad mood, seeing his past enemy dead in the hands of others, and he cannot find the culprit either, he learned about the existence of Xuanyuan Guards and is going in on the direction of Dongfang Chunjun again to learn more about him, through his control over stone mouse.

By his nature, if he could reincarnate Dongfang simply to torture him, he would do it.

The rule I established remained, so he can't show loyalty directly, but Han Clan recently rose in strength in the absence of Dongfang Chunjun. He is already using his spirit stone mouse to learn more. I killed it and it reincarnated somewhere else. I killed it 78 more times, and it's strength turned so low that's its ability went dormant.

It seems I have to send the Reincarnation Soul tool to Li Loushoyi. Not yet as I still am studying something from it. I checked her presence and she was in Immortal Mansion, with her daughter, Yu Taibai, Xing Wei and Saint's disciples. And Luo Xiao also returned reborn.

My name was also mentioned in the stories of universe, it seems my fate was not calculable by Great Expanse and could only sense certain dangers in the far future. 

Luo Clan floating Island seems to be inhabited now. And some construction work is going on. Meanwhile the father and son got together and plan to going after divine tablets one after the other after a month. The Sun goddess spear in the timesea and the sceptre of Shi Xiaoqiao were not working as past cannot be interfered in my presence.

Luo Zheng is already a mid rank true God, due to absorption of cloud mud, but his comprehension of severing emotions is still stuck, so realm is difficult to advance.

He didn't go to any clan islands to train instead his father found him soon after he entered the God Domain. The final conclusion about the changes, they reached is that someone helped them, maybe in good faith, someone who is beyond fate calculations and able to kill paramita powerhouses, but ultimately it could also possibly worsen the fate of themselves, but future is unknown.

Since the Time sea sun blind race goddess' scepter is not working due to my presence. She cancelled the Astronomical Transit Day, unable to read fate or enter time sea.
