The peerless black hand that covers the sky

Chapter 1078 Annihilation of the Mortal Realm, Eternal Reincarnation!
"Even the supreme god can lose control?"

The ancient overlord frowned. "Could a creation possibly backfire on its source?"

“Ordinary creations are naturally impossible... but that evil ancestor’s ambition was too great, and he wanted too much.”

A wisp of mist swept in, and the Plateau Consciousness looked down upon this place, whispering softly, "Human beings, the cycle of reincarnation in the underworld... and this doesn't even include the pollen road and others that are secretly fighting against it."

This terrifying creature has never given up its concern for the world.

"Wu Shi was suppressed and killed, the Underworld Emperor was summoned, Kunlun has a plan, and there are anomalies in the cycle of reincarnation..."

It recounted in detail, "A cauldron, along with the main deity, was refined to an unfathomable degree, earth-shattering and unprecedented..."

As they spoke, space and time vanished, revealing a scene from the depths of the vast sky: a supreme immortal cauldron hovered in the place where countless cycles of reincarnation converged, its endless aura of reincarnation surging, chilling even the Immortal Emperors and terrifying even the most powerful ancient overlords.

Even a single image can evoke an indescribable impact, as if a wisp of true spirit has fallen into the cycle of reincarnation, being reborn for countless lifetimes, obliterating the self.

"This has certainly been strengthened, but it is no longer pure. It relies on external forces... In the end, the path of reincarnation in the underworld is the path that the living being has walked. Even if 'Ye' has mastered the art of creation and is exceptionally talented, he has created a different method for this path, which is almost orthodox."

"Unfortunately, the source was not him after all."

"I don't really care about the plateau," he said casually.

"Could it be that the Evil Ancestor was unaware of this situation?" The next moment, the Mahayana Mountain King Buddha asked in return, leaving the plateau consciousness speechless.

"So, this must be the decision made by the Evil Ancestor after weighing the pros and cons..." the Fate Master murmured, "Compared to purity or pollution, he has a more important goal he wants to achieve and is willing to pay the corresponding price..."

"What could it be?"

The Jade Emperor's eyes flickered. "You should know that he is not the only one who is supreme in this world. There are other supreme beings... The Heavenly Emperor is invincible, and the Evil Ancestor is unparalleled, but there are also checks and balances."

"If what we do goes too far, it will overturn the world and destroy everything... Perhaps in the next instant, from the depths of the Calamity Land, at the end of time, a Three-Life Coffin Master and a Demon Ancestor will emerge and join forces to attack!"

"unless……"

The Jade Emperor's brows furrowed sharply, and a look of horror flashed in his eyes.

"Unless the Evil Ancestor is certain that those two supreme beings will tacitly agree, or even if they don't support it, they won't oppose it."

"They were bribed? How is that possible!"

"No, nothing is impossible," the Lord of Fate said. "These two supreme beings, though extremely defying the heavens, are not without desires."

"For example, the owner of the three-life bronze coffin had an insurmountable obstacle in his heart: the initial destruction and decay of heaven and earth, and the calamities of birth and death in subsequent eras..."

"Take the Demon Ancestor, for example. He once contained endless information and wanted to transform himself into the Master of the Bronze Coffin to cover up, usurp, and end everything, but he did not succeed completely..."

At this point, the several overlords exchanged glances, their expressions grave, wondering what blind spot they had discovered.

—The two most powerful beings in the world seem...maybe...perhaps not to be good people?

Their mental state is somewhat abnormal; how can they be judged by the moral standards of normal people?

"If the Evil Ancestor could fulfill the wishes of both of them... no, even just one of them, it would be enough to make them sit idly by and watch certain things happen at a crucial moment."

The Great Vehicle Mountain King Buddha sighed, then suddenly looked up, “Supreme Plateau Consciousness, I want to know… what has become of the prehistoric evil spirits?”

After a brief silence, a dark mist filled the air, and the plateau consciousness responded: "The original prehistoric evil spirits were separated from their true spirit and memories by the Demon Ancestor and the Copper Coffin Master with their supreme power, reshaping the river of time, creating new life at every moment, making mad thoughts like water without a source, and allowing the collapsed true self to self-repair under the renewal and iteration of time..."

"Time is the best antidote, capable of diluting all obsessions and deep affections... because there is always new emotion settling to counteract them."

"Now, in the most ancient era, the damage caused by endless reincarnation... seems to have been almost healed?"

As Gao Yuanzhi spoke, he hesitated slightly, seemingly unsure of what to say. "And the new sedimentation is also accumulating very quickly. Perhaps even if the past is brought back, we can still fight against it and face it calmly?"

"It should be a confrontation..."

The strange and ominous presence of the plateau consciousness, which once subtly propelled the progenitor to launch a great sacrificial ceremony to the world, is now uncertain!

after all.

Speaking of the calamities of reincarnation, the three ancient bronze coffin owners brought great calamities to all living beings in the world. Their wrongdoings led to the birth of endless evil spirits, which were terrifying. Just looking at them made one feel that their reason was collapsing.

Now……

The bodies of all living beings are normal, but their mental state... well, it's hard to describe!

Although they don't reincarnate for countless lifetimes, their accumulated obsessions over lifetimes lead to paranoia and madness.

However, many beings have actively merged with the memories of countless geniuses and outstanding individuals, shattering their "self" into millions of pieces and recklessly rushing down the path of mental schizophrenia!
This doesn't seem much better than "evil spirits"!
However, the wonderful thing about this era is that even those with schizophrenia can somehow find their way to a righteous path, turning evil into good!

One after another, ancient overlords displayed their unique abilities and exhausted their wisdom. Although their initial intentions were bad, they executed them well!

They spread the Dharma to the world, and even mental schizophrenia became a blessing, a stepping stone to progress, allowing them to know how to use it to improve themselves.

Upon hearing this, the person in question twitched and turned pale.

He couldn't stand hearing this... Who made him a stepping stone for those despicable accomplices?
This inner turmoil and helplessness has nowhere to be expressed.

"So, the time for a showdown isn't far off?" The Great Vehicle Mountain King Buddha mused. "Truly resolving the oldest cause and effect is also the knot in the heart of the most powerful being..."

"A mental illness requires a mental cure... Even if that being can bring the world to life and death countless times, the cause and effect of reincarnation is formed by all living beings, and it should also be resolved by all living beings."

"Is it because the Evil Ancestor understood the subtleties involved that he was able to transform the cycle of reincarnation into an external force for refining weapons?"

"It seems... their ambitions are quite grand!"

"Could it be that he intends to forge an ultimate cauldron to devour and refine the entire world, annihilate all living beings, leave humanity with nothing to rely on, and ultimately make the 'main god' the only option?"

Mahayana said jokingly.

As the joke went on, his expression froze, and he almost groaned, "No way... does he really intend to refine all living beings?"

"This... is not impossible."

The Jade Emperor's eyes were deep and his expression was heavy. "'The purpose of creating the main god' is humanity. It is under the pretext of fulfilling the dreams of all living beings that it has swept across the world today, and has clearly embarked on a path of fulfilling dreams."

"They are almost catching up with the Bronze Coffin Master and the Demon Ancestor... These two have each walked two paths in the mortal world, one the path of reincarnation and the other the path of bloodline. They are both very special and extraordinary among the many transcendent beings."

"From this perspective, it can be seen that there are differences among those who transcend, and there are also differences in their levels. They cannot be generalized. For example, the Ominous Ancestor and the Heavenly Emperor of Sacrifice, both of whom were involved in the Sacrifice, could be worlds apart."

"However, unlike the two whose existence is indisputable, there are many problems among the 'main gods,' with heroes from all sides interfering and making moves, which makes even the creator suffer many constraints."

"But... if we can't solve the problem, what if we try to solve the people who created it?"

"All living beings are the source of the 'God's' power, but also the source of the problem... There is support, but there is also protest."

"But if all living beings perish, and humanity is forced to reduce and seek emptiness, only the 'Main God' remains, with no other choice... It's either it or it!" — Eliminate all competitors, and I will be the successor!

At this moment, the several overlords looked at each other in bewilderment.

This... can't be, right?

Would the Evil Ancestor really go that crazy?

Once his plan succeeds, he will kill everyone, destroy and restart the entire world, reclaim the dream he once bestowed upon all living beings, and only lead a portion of his direct descendants into a new era.
"If this is true, it would be the most terrible catastrophe in the entire world!"

The Jade Emperor's eyebrows twitched, and he took a deep breath. "At that time, the entire world will be reduced to ruins!"

“Who knows?” the Mahayana Mountain King Buddha murmured. “Even if there’s only a one in ten thousand chance, no one dares to gamble.”

"After all, that was... the Evil Ancestor!"

"How can someone who claims to be 'evil' be a good person?"

"Moreover, many things are not a matter of whether you want to or not, but whether you can or not."

"The Evil Ancestor's strength is more than enough to accomplish this... and there are enormous profits to be made, making it a huge temptation!"

“Perhaps we should do something…” the Lord of Fate said.

"What can we do? With our strength alone, we are like a mantis trying to stop a chariot!" the Jade Emperor sighed.

"No! That's not the case!" The eyes of the Mahayana Mountain King Buddha suddenly lit up, and he became serious. "Once, the owner of the Three Incarnations Coffin was invincible, and there was no one in the world who could match him, but what happened in the end? He still perished!"

"He committed suicide!"

Sometimes, people's greatest adversary is... themselves!

"If the Master of the Bronze Coffin is like this, then the Evil Ancestor... is no exception!"

"In fact, he did have an opponent with whom he had a very close relationship, and that opponent came from within himself—the Great Dream Immortal Venerable!"

"Perhaps we can create a flower... a similar flower."

"Use this flower to disrupt the Evil Ancestor, as a countermeasure if he intends to destroy the world!"

Mahayana Mountain King Buddha solemnly said.

"Is this feasible?" The Jade Emperor and the Lord of Fate both shook their heads. "So what if the flowers are similar? The Butcher and the Lord of Burial have killed them before. They didn't even wait for you to grow strong before killing you halfway through."

"And in this world, there are countless similar people and reincarnations... Have there never been few great heroes and great figures throughout history and into the future?"

"But how many can sacrifice themselves all the way to the end and take a shortcut to the sacrificial path?"

"In the end, similarity is useless; it's better to be related by blood or kinship, or to have an insider deal..."

“That’s not how you put it,” Mahayana said with a smile. “The past is the past, and the present is the present.”

“In the past, only a bronze coffin that could last for three generations could stir up the world.”

"But now, there are many variables that can be used by us."

Upon hearing this, both the Jade Emperor and the Fate Master's pupils contracted.

"Mahayana, what... have you found?"

"At this point, don't hold back anymore; we're all in this together!"

They said it repeatedly.

"It's not that I found anything... it's just that I learned some things from the supreme consciousness of the plateau."

Mahayana Mountain King Buddha said, "These are also small details that we have overlooked and never paid attention to over the years."

"do you remember?"

"When we first ascended the plateau, perished, and transformed into our progenitors, was there not a complete absence of life on this perilous land?"

"You mean..." The Jade Emperor and the Lord of Fate's memories were taken back to the distant past. After a brief recollection, "That's right, although the Evil Land is desolate, there is still a flower, and... a lotus!"

"The flower is an ornamental flower, the ancestral species of pollen. Although the pollen emperors that were created later were not very good, they were really oily. You could squeeze oil out of them and eat them until your mouth was full of oil..."

"The lotus is a lotus of reincarnation, going through countless cycles of reincarnation and renewal... Compared to ornamental flowers, it has no outstanding features. Our ancestors studied it over and over again, but it only resulted in a half-dead state and nothing was gained."

“At the time, we didn’t think there was anything wrong with it…after all, you could tell the difference by looking at the treatment the two received.”

"One was planted in the courtyard, clearly a beautiful flower that was often admired and well cared for; the other was planted in the lake outside the courtyard, practically a wild plant."

Differential treatment, different fates for the same flower, if the lotus in its endless cycle of reincarnation had a spirit, it would most likely protest.

"Later, the progenitor was born and ruled the plateau. The fates of the two diverged even further. The ancestral seed of the pollen road was also able to take away the ashes of the three generations of bronze coffin owners. The fates of the two were intertwined, with an inexplicable cause and effect... As for the performance of the Lotus of Ten Thousand Tribulations Reincarnation, it was just average and unremarkable."

"so……"

The Jade Emperor and the Fate Master vaguely realized something: "You've set your sights on it?"

“Indeed, it is very suitable… Now that the cycle of reincarnation has become unpredictable, this Lotus of Eternal Reincarnation seems to have been born in response to the calamity.”

"I would like to," Mahayana shook his head and sighed, "but it's too late."

"What do you mean?" The two overlords frowned.

"I'm too late!" Mahayana said calmly. "An unparalleled being acted before me on that Lotus of Eternal Reincarnation, and all the secrets and causes of heaven are now untraceable!"

"I was very curious, so I activated my high-altitude consciousness to investigate, but the result was... nothing."

“Not bad.” The mist swirled, carrying a sense of helplessness, as the highland consciousness transmitted its thoughts, “I have encountered an insurmountable chasm. Unless I do everything in my power, I cannot detect its whereabouts. I only have a vague feeling that the Lotus of Eternal Reincarnation seems to have become sentient and entered the world!”

"What other entities in this world can possibly resist the supreme consciousness of the plateau, and subtly gain the upper hand?"

Mahayana exclaimed, "And it can even be related to that Lotus of Eternal Reincarnation?"

"There's only one left!"

The Fate Master sighed, then his eyes lit up, "If the Lotus of Eternal Reincarnation has already become sentient and entered the world... do you intend to use it to do something at a crucial moment?"

"good……"

Mahayana whispered, "Perhaps it is meant to be the 'protagonist,' reenacting the cycle of reincarnation in a similar script..."
