The reincarnation of the heavens begins with the path to immortality

The Buddha said: All beings are equal!
Modern laws and regulations also state: Everyone is equal!
But in reality, everyone understands that true equality is impossible, and the elite will always exist.

In a society based on power, those with power are superior to others; in a society based on money, those with capital are superior to others; in martial arts novels, martial arts masters are superior to others; in the world of immortals, those who cultivate immortality naturally look down upon all living beings.

Those in positions of power often have an instinct to disregard those in lower positions. For example, those in high positions of power often cannot see the struggles of ordinary people. Even if they do see them, they will only make the ordinary people suffer and then make them take the blame.

Martial arts masters often don't take ordinary passersby seriously. If a fight breaks out among martial arts masters and an ordinary passerby is caught in the crossfire and killed, that's that; the martial arts masters won't even blink an eye.

In the world of immortals and heroes, it is even more so. The world of Shrouding the Heavens is a good example. In order to survive, the Heavenly Venerables, Ancient Emperors and Great Emperors can absorb the life of an entire star field in one gulp, which is a great way to replenish their strength!
Destroying you is none of your business. That's the logic of those in power!

The power struggles among those in power often result in a harsh living environment for those in lower positions. It is common for those in lower positions to be caught in the crossfire and die, so there is no need to be surprised.

For example, in history books, how many of the factional struggles in the imperial court actually considered the needs of those below them?

Martial arts masters fight each other in the market inn, but how many care about the ordinary people who are caught in the crossfire?

It's all just like that. The only difference is the amount of power that people can wield. Mortals in power can only make the people suffer, martial arts masters can cause bloodshed in the martial world, but cultivators can destroy the world.

Even higher beings, like those supreme beings on that otherworldly plateau, possess even more astonishing destructive power. If they were to fight, the entire river of history would likely be destroyed and wiped out, and everything would cease to exist, even history itself would cease to exist.

Therefore, Bao Zheng is praised, righteous heroes are renowned throughout the world, and people like Ye Fan who are willing to fight for those in lower positions are also worshipped, because they are all rare.

It can be said that the greater the power that people can control, the more cruel the world becomes, because the more astonishing the destructive power of those in power becomes, the more brutal the living environment of those in power becomes.

In the world of Shrouding the Heavens, the lives and deaths of all races in the universe are controlled by the supreme beings, who raise them as the great medicine of the human world and harvest them without hesitation.

But little did those supreme beings know that they were just rice and weeds in someone else's rice paddy. The strange race sacrificed all of them and harvested them without batting an eye.

The supreme beings reap the rewards of a world and a universe, while the strange race reaps the rewards of countless worlds. They are equally cold and ruthless. This is what it means to be in power!
Thinking of this, Shen Pingkang, the Eternal Heavenly Venerable, couldn't help but sigh. Although he was considered a superior being in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths universe, he had been a subordinate before and knew the difficult situation of subordinates. Therefore, he always admired people like Ye Fan and the Desolate Heavenly Emperor.

Therefore, he never regarded Ye Fan as an enemy from the beginning; he only thought about whether he could resolve the conflict with Ye Fan and coexist peacefully.

Great heroes are always admirable, and saviors are even more worthy of worship. Saviors like the Desolate Emperor and Ye Fan are naturally worth befriending.

Unfortunately, his feelings were unrequited. He had the intention to befriend Ye Fan, but Ye Fan also had the right to refuse his advances. It was truly regrettable that he ended up on the opposite side of a savior like Ye Fan.

For a moment, Shen Pingkang, the Eternal Celestial Venerable, let his thoughts wander. From Amitabha's reincarnation, he thought of the cycle of rebirth in the ancient underworld; from the cycle of rebirth in the ancient underworld, he thought of the supreme being on the otherworldly plateau; and from that supreme being on the otherworldly plateau, he thought of the survival logic of the superior and the inferior. He was a superior being in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, but among the strange race, he was also an inferior being, destined to be harvested!

Just then, the Primordial God Emperor in the Hall of Longevity suddenly said, "So, fellow Daoist, do you think that the Amitabha Buddha Emperor failed to achieve Nirvana? Is his method of Nirvana unworkable?"

"Ok?"

Immediately, Shen Pingkang, the Celestial Venerable of Longevity, snapped out of his reverie. Seeing everyone looking at him, he paused for a moment, then nodded and replied, "Hmm! I don't think it's a success! After all, that Amitabha Buddha Emperor hasn't truly awakened and returned from Nirvana, even though that little monk in the Heavenly Court is considered his reincarnation!"

Upon hearing his words, everyone in the Hall of Longevity fell silent. They exchanged glances, looked at each other, and then looked towards the Blood Phoenix Ancient Emperor in the Immortal Source. Then they each thought of themselves, and their expressions instantly became solemn and grim.

After all, the Amitabha Buddha Emperor failed in his Nirvana awakening and did not truly return. They couldn't help but think of themselves, knowing that they too would eventually undergo Nirvana and transformation. The fact of the Amitabha Buddha Emperor was right in front of them, which told them that no matter how well everything was arranged, the risks of Nirvana and transformation were uncontrollable!

Huang Xudao's expression changed, and he looked worriedly at the Blood Phoenix Ancient Emperor in the Immortal Source. He opened his mouth, but hesitated, saying, "Father! You..."

Clearly, he wanted to give the Blood Phoenix Ancient Emperor one last piece of advice: before the Nirvana transformation begins, let him consolidate his strength and make preparations! It wouldn't be too late to decide on the Nirvana transformation when he is truly confident enough.

But the Blood Phoenix Ancient Emperor in the Immortal Source interrupted him directly, saying, "You don't need to say anything more. I know what you want to say, but my mind is made up. Don't try to persuade me anymore. Today is the day of my Nirvana. If I succeed, I will return from Nirvana and live another life! If I fail, I will perish and vanish, and a million years will have passed in vain!"

Huang Xudao remained silent, and finally, with blurred vision, he could only nod heavily in response, "Yes, Father!"

Upon hearing his words, everyone in the Hall of Longevity looked at the Blood Phoenix Ancient Emperor in the Immortal Source, and couldn't help but be surprised. They probably didn't expect the Blood Phoenix Ancient Emperor to be so resolute!

Especially after witnessing the failure of the Amitabha Buddha Emperor's Nirvana Awakening, the Blood Phoenix Ancient Emperor remained determined to undergo Nirvana Transformation without the slightest hesitation, which inevitably makes people think.

Was the Blood Phoenix Ancient Emperor truly unable to endure any longer and forced to undergo Nirvana Transformation, or did he actually have great confidence in successfully undergoing Nirvana Transformation?
The method of Nirvana transformation chosen by the Blood Phoenix Ancient Emperor is the Phoenix Nirvana Method of the Undying Emperor. The Blood Phoenix Ancient Emperor is also a phoenix, so it can be said that the Phoenix Nirvana Method of the Undying Emperor is very suitable for him. So, has the Blood Phoenix Ancient Emperor thoroughly understood this Phoenix Nirvana Method and is very confident that he will succeed in Nirvana?

In addition, the Blood Phoenix Ancient Emperor was indeed in very bad condition, and he really couldn't hold on any longer!

Therefore, taking both into account, he chose to undergo a rapid transformation and rebirth!
The people of the Hall of Longevity looked at the Blood Phoenix Ancient Emperor in the Immortal Source, each lost in thought, as if they had already understood the Blood Phoenix Ancient Emperor's considerations.

The Blood Phoenix Ancient Emperor ignored the stares of the crowd and said to Shen Pingkang, the Eternal Heavenly Venerable, "Today I am about to undergo Nirvana and transformation. I ask the Heavenly Venerable to protect me!"
