Deep in the Land of Void,
days were flying past and
Austin still sat cross-legged on the altar.
After about a month,
his eyes opened and a mysterious aura settled down around him.
The time and space around Austin's body were constantly distorting as if it were water.
At this point,
Austin felt as if he were free from time and space.
It was like he was floating in nothing. It was indescribable to him.
"Thank you so much, sir!"
Austin got up and bowed to the Taoist priest sincerely.
Over the past month, he had made bounds and leaps in his cultivation,
especially in the law of reincarnation.
He was quite satisfied with that.
Meanwhile, he had also progressed in the law of time and the law of space.
"You're welcome.
Young man, you are more talented than I expected you to be.
I have lived several lifetimes, and you are the most talented human I've ever seen,"
the Taoist priest praised.
In the past month, he had imparted the laws he knew to Austin. During that process, he had uncovered
Austin's true potential.
No matter how complicated the laws were, Austin could soon comprehend them under his guidance.
"Sir, how many lifetimes have you lived?
Is it true that creatures can be reborn after they die?"
Austin asked quickly, looking at the Taoist priest with big eyes.
Now that he had a deeper understanding of the law of reincarnation, he was interested and wanted to
know as much as possible.
Legend had it that all living creatures couldn't avoid reincarnation.
After a creature died, their spiritual soul would enter the path of reincarnation in order to be reborn and
start a new life.
No one knew whether the legend was true or not,
not even the governing gods.
If reincarnation did exist, Austin wondered if there were creatures who could remember their previous
lives.
If they couldn't remember anything, who passed down the legends of reincarnation?
"How long have I lived?
Does reincarnation really exist?" the Taoist priest repeated as he looked into the distance.
His eyes were fixated on nothing but it looked as though he could see everything.
"I can't answer you.
If you want to know the answers, improve your strength.
When you reach a certain level, you will understand everything.
Reincarnation is complicated.
I can't afford to explain it to you,"
the Taoist priest said as he shook his head.
It appeared that nothing had changed. The Taoist priest would keep his mouth shut no matter how
Austin phrased the questions.
"All right.
That's all I wanted to teach you.
You are a quick learner.
But after you comprehend laws, you need to learn skills.
I can only share laws with you. You need to work on the skills on our own.
The laws are fundamental, and you need to understand them. The skills need to be used. It is like the
laws are the bricks and the skills are the buildings.
The number of laws will not increase and they will never change, but the skills are different. New skills
will come up every day.
One can devise tens of millions of skills based on a single law.
The most brilliant and powerful skills are those that you come up with on your own.
Now is the time to work on your own skills.
If you run into any problem, you can come to me and I will help you solve it,"
the Taoist priest said.
'Laws and skills...'
Austin thought to himself.
His eyes grew bigger as he thought over what the priest had told him.
He was already learning just from the priest's words.
'All right. I am going to come up with new skills!' Austin decided.
Austin extended his hands and the space around his palms changed quickly. Laws appeared and
danced and snaked over them.
He decided to start with the law of reincarnation.
What he needed to do was figure out the new uses of the law of reincarnation.
Then he could devise new skills based on his understanding of the law of reincarnation.
The Taoist priest had encouraged and guided Austin to create his own secret skills.
As Austin unleashed the law of reincarnation, the space around him began to disintegrate and turn into
fragments. They danced in the air like butterflies.
The law was so powerful that Austin's physical body became blurred.
It someone were there, they would have trouble seeing him.
Even a governing god would have difficulty.
The chanting of scriptures related to the law of reincarnation rang out,
causing the entire space to shake violently.
The space was reacting to Austin, combining the law of reincarnation hidden in the space with his own.
"It's time..."
On the altar, the chaotic light shone, and the thick divine mist appeared. The void was splattered with
marks.
The marks became clearer and clearer, as if they were showing the history of the worlds.
Gradually, Austin found that he was surrounded by them.
It was like he was traveling to the past
and becoming a part of the history.
Pieces of history flashed before his eyes and he was playing parts in it.
"Hey! What's going on?"
Austin exclaimed, looking around with wide eyes.
Last time he opened his eyes, he was working on his own skills on the altar.
Now, he was passing through different ages and leading different lives.
Every life he lived was exciting and memorable.
In the beginning, Austin was at a loss and couldn't accept it.
However, gradually, he calmed down and began to play his role.
He continued to travel until
he had lived thousands of lifetimes.
Finally, Austin arrived in the last world.
The world was in chaos.
The governing gods let out battle cries and fought using their full strength.
Their blood splashed all over the sky, destroying hundreds of millions of miles of land and hundreds of
millions of miles of void.
Battles were everywhere and the deaths were innumerable.
This went on until the entire world was broken
and the original chaotic laws were shattered.
Everything was destroyed.
The Absolute Space Sea was next.
Then, the glorious era came to an end.
The end of cultivation era began.
All the divine gods died and the worlds fell.
The energy was exhausted and the laws were broken.
All the creatures were in despair.
It was a sad and hard time.
Austin walked around, comprehended things, cultivated, and tried to bring hope to this desperate world.
"No.
I need to change everything.
I will find a way to free this desperate world.
Reincarnation is necessary!"
Even though he didn't know how to fix it, Austin was unwilling to give up.
There was no energy, laws didn't exist, and creatures had begun to die.
Even the weakest that had never cultivated were dying off.
In the end, Austin was the only survivor.
Sitting cross-legged in the world of dead silence and confusion, he was lost in his thoughts.
"Young man, hold on. You are about to invent your own skill."
On the altar, the Taoist priest and the monk were watching Austin the whole time.
