Seeking Martial Dao in All Reborn Lives

Alien Source? Bloodline Species?

"It seems your transformation is related to the Bloodline Species."

Zhao Xuanqi fell into thought. He had sensed during their previous battle that Li Zhenyuan’s condition was highly unusual, and now it seemed that was indeed the case.

"That’s right," Li Zhenyuan began. "When I was reincarnated into this world, it was during the period when the Exotic Beast rampage was at its peak. In that era, in the Divine Land—the heart of this world’s civilization—humanity was on the brink of extinction. We couldn’t even survive on the surface, instead hiding in caves and underground like ants. The situation was dire."

"After I was reincarnated into this world, I discovered that its Martial Dao system was still in its infancy. However, this world seemed even more suited for cultivation than Blue Star, my previous home. The very air seemed to teem with energy. Both the naturally occurring Heavenly and Earthly Treasures and the flesh of the rampant Exotic Beasts were tonics of unimaginable potency. Nothing in my past life could compare."

"That was also an era that produced a flood of talent. To be honest, the only reason I got a step ahead and reached the Celestial Human Realm was because I had the advantage of reincarnation. I possessed the complete legacy of the Hundred Beasts Fist and had the help of the Transformed Creatures. Otherwise, I’m afraid I couldn’t have competed with the native geniuses of this world."

Li Zhenyuan said with a sigh, a look of reminiscence in his eyes.

"That’s exactly what I wanted to ask. I’ve read this world’s ancient texts, and I discovered that breaking through to the Divine General realm seemed much simpler back then than it is now. What was the reason for that?"

Zhao Xuanqi inquired.

"The world’s development follows a set course. This is ’fortune,’ and it is also ’momentum.’ You should already be able to sense the existence of the ’grand tide.’ However, what you represent is merely the tide of the Divine Land. Above that is the grand tide of this entire world."

"The appearance and proliferation of the invading Bloodline Species stimulates this world’s grand tide. It causes the once-stable tide to become turbulent, accelerating the civilizational progress that would have otherwise taken ages to evolve. The most direct manifestations are a flood of geniuses and a strengthening of the unseen forces in the world. This makes life more intelligent and allows people to more easily break through to previously unattainable realms."

"You can think of it as the world’s self-defense mechanism, much like how the human body initiates its own defenses when fighting an illness. Following the tide’s fluctuations, once the crisis is temporarily resolved, the tide recedes and returns to its normal course. It might even fall into a trough because of the prior turmoil. Consequently, the advancement of civilization and an individual’s cultivation both become more difficult."

"In fact, you too have caught a period of turmoil in this world’s grand tide. The Bloodline Species’ schemes in the Western Continent have thrown the world into upheaval. Although he used relatively mild methods, the world’s grand tide has shifted nonetheless. Otherwise, two hundred years ago, without the Transformed Creatures by your side, breaking through to the Divine General realm would have been more than ten times harder than it is now—just like it was on Blue Star in my past life."

Li Zhenyuan explained.

"I see."

Zhao Xuanqi understood his meaning, a pensive look on his face.

’So in Ancient Times, the Bloodline Species invaded this world, grew stronger, and threw the mortal realm into chaos. This triggered turmoil in the world’s grand tide, accelerating civilization’s development and making it easier for individuals to cultivate their martial abilities.’

’Then later, most of the Exotic Beasts were driven out or completely annihilated. Even the Bloodline Species seemed to have fallen dormant for a very long time. This caused the grand tide to recede, making it harder and harder to break through to the Divine General realm until, in the end, there were no more Divine Generals.’

’It wasn’t until the last hundred years, with the rise of the Western Continent plunging the world back into turmoil, that the grand tide began to surge. The restrictions loosened, making it possible once again to break through to the Divine General realm.’

’The opportune time, the favorable terrain, the harmonious people...’

Zhao Xuanqi seemed to have reached a new level of understanding.

"You don’t know as little as you claim."

Zhao Xuanqi said to Li Zhenyuan. After all, Li Zhenyuan had claimed this was only the first world he had ever been reincarnated into.

"It’s because of the Transformed Creatures. In the early days after my reincarnation, the Transformed Creatures could still contact the Divine Court outside this world. I obtained all this information through them, after paying a corresponding price."

"Unfortunately, that connection gradually weakened and was eventually severed completely. I couldn’t determine if it was because of me or if something had happened to the Divine Court."

"That’s also why, after driving the Exotic Beasts from the Divine Land and confirming the hiding place of the Bloodline Species’ true body, I wasted no time heading to the Northern Extreme Land to fight it. My plan was to eliminate it and quickly proceed to my next reincarnation. However, I ultimately underestimated the unique nature of the Bloodline Species. Although I destroyed its true body, I was contaminated by its remaining flesh and blood, allowing it to partially parasitize me."

"For thousands of years, he and I have used my body as a battlefield, fighting for control. Normally, even at the Divine General realm, my lifespan would have been just over two hundred years at most. But because of the Bloodline Species, I have been able to survive for all this time."

"However, as time passed, his life characteristics gave him an ever-stronger grip on my body. Finally, about three hundred years ago, he seized full control, regained his mobility, left the Land of the North Pole, and headed south into the Western Continent."

"Initially, even though he controlled the body’s movements, I could still exert a great deal of influence over him and restrain his actions. Whenever he developed malicious intent and tried to do evil, I would inflict a punishment. And so, he was forced to be a ’good person’ in the Western Continent for nearly a hundred years, unable to even use his powers."
