Chapter 162: Immortality is Reincarnation

The Blood Ancestor laughed excitedly, "If that is the case, finding the fragments of the Primordial Cauldron will be much easier from now on. We just need to find Primordial World fragments like the Chant-Snow Realm."

"Mhm."

Chen Changsheng nodded, paused, and continued, "Since the Primordial World was shattered by the Primordial Cauldron in endless years past, turning into the three thousand great worlds of this universe, then the Realm of Gods is actually also a fragment of the Primordial World—just a much larger one.

In other words, the Realm of Gods itself also contains fragments of the Primordial Cauldron."

"That makes sense."

The Blood Ancestor’s primordial demonic pupils instantly flared with bright light: "Then, once we return to the Realm of Gods, we will go and search for the Primordial Cauldron fragment hidden within it."

"There is no rush for that."

Chen Changsheng shook his head instead, saying, "The main purpose for my Die'er and me entering the Realm of Gods is to attain eternal life. Old Devil, do you know if there is any Dao of eternal life in the Realm of Gods?"

The Blood Ancestor nodded and said, "Young Master Chen, the Dao of eternal life does indeed exist in the Realm of Gods, but whether one can ultimately find it depends on individual fortune.

The Dao of eternal life requires enlightenment."

"How does one attain enlightenment?"

Chen Changsheng furrowed his brow slightly, showing deep interest.

"The three thousand great worlds of heaven and earth encompass all things. Among all things, there are countless changes, but in the final analysis, they are all merely the result of the Six Paths of Reincarnation."

The Blood Ancestor slowly explained, "To comprehend the Dao of eternal life, one must first comprehend the Six Paths of Reincarnation that exist between heaven and earth. The gates of the Six Paths of Reincarnation cycle infinitely, enduring forever without destruction—this is the Dao of eternal life."

Chen Changsheng was somewhat bewildered by this: "In other words, the Dao of eternal life is the Dao of reincarnation?"

"Precisely."

The Blood Ancestor nodded: "Therefore, Young Master Chen, when the time comes to enter the Realm of Gods, the key to attaining eternal life will still rely on yourself."

Chen Changsheng fell into contemplation. A moment later, he asked again, "Then, Old Devil, why is the Realm of Gods also called the Realm of Eternal Life? Is it because the powerful beings there have all attained eternal life?"

"Not quite."

The Blood Ancestor shook his head: "It is because the Realm of Gods contains a Stone of Eternal Life; the name 'Eternal Life' originates from it.

However, my memories have not yet fully recovered, so I cannot pinpoint the exact location of the Stone of Eternal Life. Perhaps, even before I lost my memories, I was unaware of its precise whereabouts and only heard rumors about the Stone of Eternal Life."

"I see."

Chen Changsheng nodded in understanding, though inwardly he muttered: Perhaps after entering the Realm of Eternal Life and finding that Stone of Eternal Life, eternal life can be attained.

Next, Chen Changsheng and his daughter stayed among the Holy Land's demon race for a few more days before preparing to set off back to Clear Stream Town to pack up, and then return to this Holy Land to enter the Realm of Gods via the Eternal Staircase.

On this day, on the demon race's vast martial arena, members of the demon clan of all ranks had gathered to bid farewell to Chen Changsheng.

Besides them, numerous figures from other factions within the Holy Land had also come.

The farewell procession was grand and imposing.

"This pomp and circumstance makes it look like I am the supreme powerhouse of the Chant-Snow Realm."

Chen Changsheng rubbed his temples with a somewhat helpless expression and said, "Too bad I am not. I am merely a mortal."

Everyone around him wore peculiar expressions: In this Chant-Snow Realm, if you claim to be second, who would dare to claim first?

"Lou Meisha, since you are now Die'er's maidservant, you will accompany us back to Clear Stream Town as well."

Chen Changsheng said to Lou Meisha.

Lou Meisha was the empress of the Desert Tower Holy Kingdom, yet she had now become Die'er's maidservant. Just thinking about this caused Chen Changsheng's vanity to soar to the limit.

"Yes!"

Lou Meisha respectfully bowed to Chen Changsheng and his daughter, her heart overflowing with wild joy.

So thrilling!

This was a day she had yearned for long ago!

"There is no need to be so formal."

Chen Changsheng waved his hand casually: "Let's go."

"Alright."

Lou Meisha hurriedly followed, retaining not a shred of her imperial aura.

"Young Master Chen, please wait a moment."

Just as they were about to board the flying vessel, a group of people was seen speeding across the horizon toward them. The person leading them was none other than Murong Lan, princess of the Southern Domain's Divine Moon Holy Kingdom.

During the ultimate assessment back then, with the assistance of Donggong Qianxue, Murong Lan had secured the candidate quota for the Holy Emperor.

Now that the Ancient Emperor and his son had both fallen, Murong Lan had logically ascended to become the Holy Emperor of the Holy Land.

She was the youngest Holy Emperor in the history of the Holy Land, and simultaneously likely the weakest one, as her cultivation had not even broken through the Consummation Dao Realm.

"Murong Lan, Holy Emperor of the Holy Land, pays respects to Young Master Chen!"

When Murong Lan reached Chen Changsheng, she slowly knelt and kowtowed.

Murong Zhenhai, the Holy Emperor of the Divine Moon Holy Kingdom, along with the other attendants, all knelt in unison.

"Princess Murong, please don't do this!"

Taken aback, Chen Changsheng hurriedly helped Murong Lan up: "Now that you have ascended to the throne of the Holy Emperor, I haven't done anything at all. Why are you kowtowing to me?"

Please let me off, I'm just a mortal!

"Not so."

Murong Lan shook her head instead: "During the ultimate assessment that day, it was Princess Qianxue who helped me ultimately win the competition. And Princess Qianxue is your person, Young Master Chen, so naturally, I should thank you.

Furthermore, although you didn't do anything yourself when the ancient clan was destroyed by the demon race this time, your contribution is still immeasurable. If the ancient clan hadn't been wiped out this time, Gu Shaobai certainly wouldn't have let me off. Therefore, the throne of the Holy Emperor would have ultimately fallen to him anyway."

Hm, listening to that, it actually sounded somewhat reasonable.

"Very well."

Chen Changsheng nodded, smiling with secret helplessness. However... I really am just a mortal!

"Young Master Chen, I know you belong to the world of immortals and gods, and compared to you, the likes of us are merely ants. But when the time comes, should you have any requirements, just say the word, and I will lead the entire Holy Land to assist you with all our might!"

Murong Lan said respectfully to Chen Changsheng.

Murong Lan belonged to the Spirit clan, possessing delicate features, crystal-clear white skin, and a unique charm emanating from her entire being.

Chen Changsheng nodded thoughtfully: "I actually do have a small request."

"Please speak, Young Master Chen!"

Murong Lan's spirits instantly lifted, and she was overjoyed.

Young Master Chen was an immortal of the immortal-god world; as long as she could be of even the slightest help to him, she would consider it supreme glory.

"In the future, please continue to look after the Spring and Autumn Holy Kingdom, especially the Southern Domain Prefecture City and a small town called Clear Stream Town."

Chen Changsheng said indifferently.

Donggong Fu, the Holy Empress, Bing Mu'er, and the others were all stunned upon hearing Chen Changsheng's words. Never in their wildest dreams did they imagine that Chen Changsheng would make such a request to Murong Lan.

A wave of profound gratitude and pride welled up in their hearts.

They truly did not know how many lifetimes of good fortune it took to cross paths with Young Master Chen.

"Very well, I, Murong Lan, swear here and now: in the future, if anyone dares to harm even a single hair of the Spring and Autumn Holy Kingdom, or the Southern Domain Prefecture City and Clear Stream Town mentioned by Young Master Chen, I will surely obliterate them entirely!"

Murong Lan puffed out her full chest and said proudly.

With Murong Lan's promise, Chen Changsheng finally set his mind completely at ease.

Murong Lan was now the Holy Emperor of the Holy Land. Although her current strength was still lacking, she could already be considered the absolute peak existence in this Chant-Snow Realm.
