Infinite Reincarnation: I am the Monster.

Chapter 711 Fated Death, Devouring Bodhi

An Zhiyuan had no intention of joking with Bai Cangshu. His expression was somber, as if the end of the world was about to come, which was different from his usual deliberate passive and escapist attitude.

Bai Cangshu can no longer be considered a lone wolf. Li Qingzi, Jin Yuean, Yi Nian Qing Si, Black Butler, and others are actually under his command. Naturally, even if he doesn't pay attention, he will be informed of a lot of information by others.

He was naturally aware of the big news that had been circulating among the third-tier reincarnators before his return.

The King of Miracles will fall soon, and the Azure Sky will collapse with him.

As the three gatherings that actually occupy the highest position in the entire infinite dimensional space, the most powerful [Illusory Throne] spans four regions, and its number of elite and advanced reincarnators far exceeds that of any other gathering.

Furthermore, they monopolized the unique systems within the Bleach world, such as the Shinigami Enhancement and Quincy Enhancement systems.

The "Destiny," which gathers the vast majority of the chosen ones, can be considered the most prestigious gathering. It also spans four districts and makes a fortune through various items that only the chosen ones can create and information they obtain.

Furthermore, the higher-ups are very mysterious and their strength is unpredictable;
The reason why [Azure Sky], a small gathering with no more than 10 people, is considered the most powerful gathering, close to the former two, in the infinite dimensional space is not because every member of this gathering is an elite, nor because a small gathering has gathered many top reincarnators.

The reason why 【Azure Sky】 can become the top gathering, and even mediate various disputes, preserving the last glory for the "idealists" in the infinite dimension, is only one: 【King of Miracles】is very strong, unbelievably strong!

Whether it was directly intervening to forcibly end the battle between the End of the Sun and the Deathly Silence, or forcibly intervening after the three powers surrounded and killed Tao Pai Pai, forcing Tao Pai Pai to remain silent for several weeks, it is clear that the mysterious leader of the Azure Sky completely surpasses Tao Pai Pai and the strongest beings.

That was a powerful kind of disruption.

The mystery surrounding the opponent is as numerous as the legends, but just when no one could figure out why the opponent was so strong, all the advanced reincarnators received special news: the opponent was going to die!

While leisurely reviewing various transaction messages, Bai Cangshu also exchanged views with this [Heavenly Secrets] lord.

As a supreme expert specializing in divination and fate among those with spiritual attributes, they always have access to many information channels that others simply cannot reach.

"Your Majesty, is that one truly going to die? Rumor has it that he was struck by some kind of power and is destined to die. Reincarnators of your level should have received some resurrection abilities and items, right..."

An Zhiyuan knew that Tao Baibai was spying on him, but he was no longer interested in such details.

Cao Qi absolutely cannot die; if Cao Qi dies, the balance among the three kings will collapse.

Aizen Sousuke has absolutely no benevolent intentions towards the real world, and the King of Destiny, whose true identity remains unknown, will never confront Aizen Sousuke directly.

An Zhiyuan looked at the creation before him, which probably belonged to Aizen Sousuke, and smiled self-deprecatingly. The three kings each had their own schemes and interfered in the plans of others.

The three of them had a good fight, but would it really still be useful against the [Final Calamity]?

An Zhiyuan was somewhat uncertain whether the "Mad King" who had died earlier was the person chosen by the King of Destiny. If so, then one of the methods used by the Three Kings to deal with the final calamity had been rendered useless.

The one Cao Qi chose...

An Zhiyuan's eyes were complicated, as if he was about to sigh. He didn't understand why the woman who, in his and Cao Qi's eyes, had the most benevolent king mentality, would take the current stance.

An Zhiyuan dared not imagine how much pain and despair Cao Qi must be feeling at this moment. The person he had chosen, the person he wanted to entrust the world and the future to, had actually betrayed him.

An Zhiyuan himself was unwilling to accept that he was now placing his hopes on the person chosen by Aizen Sousuke, the outcast and monster he had met in the shantytown but had never thought highly of.

"Now that you have the ability, you should know that the priority of the ability is the most crucial factor. Since there is the ability to resurrect, there is naturally a special ability that makes it impossible to resurrect. When you cannot reach the level of authority and priority, then no matter how much the world loves you, resurrection is hopeless."

Bai Cangshu wondered who this person was, possessing such a powerful ability that even the most powerful reincarnators, at the level of the Three Kings, could not be resurrected.

Is he a powerful character from a certain world, or... a powerful being from another dimension or force in the original world?
What also bothered him was that An Zhiyuan seemed to be emphasizing that the King of Miracles was someone loved by the world...

"Do you believe there is a chance in the miniature garden world that could save him from death?"

An Zhiyuan was starting to get impatient. He knew very well that the people from Qingkong had already prepared a remedial plan. They had been granted an opportunity to enter the [Small Garden World], but that opportunity was missing one crucial link.

"Enough, Tao Pai Pai, you don't need to beat around the bush like that. Yes! The Little Garden world contains the power you crave, and it also contains the power that can keep that guy alive!"

"This is a win-win situation!"

"No matter what conditions those two people offered you, none of them could be as important as the possibility of the Little Garden World."

The half-black, half-white crown on An Zhiyuan's head shone brightly. Bai Cangshu was unsure whether this was a disguise or whether the conclusion was calculated by the other party using the power of the Supreme Crown.

An Zhiyuan seemed to transform from a lifeless salted fish into a raging beast, picking up the three high-quality materials one by one.

"You should know what world the core of the [Strange God-Slaying Fist] comes from. If you use this to appraise it, you'll most likely obtain a fist technique of at least A rank. Furthermore, if you make good use of your [Second Chance] privilege, you might even have the chance to obtain an abnormal learning ability like Garou's!"

Seeing that Bai Cangshu didn't seem inclined to speak, An Zhiyuan raised the right hand that seemed to be the one bidding farewell to ideals, the arm still appearing to retain traces of blood.

Bai Cangshu looked at An Zhiyuan, who had gone mad, and couldn't be sure how the other party had obtained the arm.

The world of "A Certain Magical Index" is actually more dangerous than many people imagine. The existence of the "Demon God" is like a bomb that could explode at any moment for the reincarnators.

They were a group of ultimate monsters who were not limited by plot, timeline, or worldline, and... they were also full of curiosity.

This arm has a connection to the demon god; I want to obtain it...

"This arm isn't as important as you think. In many timelines, there are choices that make Touma Kamijou disappoint the Demon God, and there are also other possibilities that the Demon God might abandon. As long as you can see your destiny clearly, you can acquire many things!"

An Zhiyuan's words made Bai Cangshu realize the power of the Reincarnators of Destiny. This power is not manifested in combat, but rather in other areas, manifesting itself in an invisible way.

"You should know very well what you can get after this arm is appraised. Even for you now, it can be considered a powerful combat force."

Bai Cangshu smiled as he watched An Zhiyuan lose his temper and become irrational for the sake of his friend.

This attitude of the other party is much more valuable than the bearded man lying in the shantytown pretending to be dead.

"As for [Material: Nyarlathotep's Thousand Faces], this thing..."

"It's a fake, isn't it?"

Bai Cangshu calmly added that he had already guessed this, because he had obtained a counterfeit treasure technique of the level of the [Ten Phoenix Nirvana Technique], as well as the [Mind Gem] whose power was far from what he had imagined.

Bai Cangshu already knew that a world that wasn't powerful enough simply couldn't give birth to something of that caliber.

In terms of information theory within infinite dimensions, materials of that caliber simply cannot be created when the world's information concentration is insufficient. The highest quality "world-class treasure" that Bai Cangshu has witnessed so far is probably the limit of information concentration in worlds below the primordial world.

As for materials like "The Thousand Faces of Nyarlathotep," which involve a true Outer God, they are either fakes or the result of concentrated power.

For example, it could be Nyarlathotep appearing in some derivative world, or a projection that ultimately left behind material.

An Zhiyuan didn't hide his agreement, nodding in approval and explaining...

"This Thousand Faces refers to a golden story-related equipment with the same name that once appeared in the northern part of the space. It was a powerful item that allowed the wearer to transform into various other beings and gain some of the abilities of those beings."

"If you're lucky enough, you might be able to obtain a similar ability from this material."

Although Bai Cangshu had never heard of the item "Thousand Faces," he didn't think that someone like An Zhiyuan would deceive him with such low-quality false information at a time like this.

He looked at the three props, and finally pointed to two of them, but did not choose the arm.

"I need these two pieces of material."

An Zhiyuan frowned. These three items were not all his; he was not wealthy enough to store up so many red-quality materials.

This was what he obtained from others after selling off a lot of "old faces" and information.

Each one required him to pay a considerable price.

He originally only wanted to provide one piece of material in exchange for Tao Pai Pai to complete the bloodline advancement of the dragon species as soon as possible and help Ao Sora open the miniature world.

Bai Cangshu's lips curled up. He didn't have to wait long before An Zhiyuan agreed to the deal. He also chose an unknown scarlet drop card from Bai Cangshu's stall as a symbolic part of the transaction and drafted a contract.

Bai Cangshu must obtain the identity of [Dragon Seed] within three mission cycles and assist Qingkong in opening the Little Garden World; otherwise, he will have to pay the price of two additional S-rank singularities.

Of course, Bai Cangshu specifically stipulated in the contract that if the opening of the Little Garden World failed due to reasons not attributable to him, the contract would be invalid.

Looking at Bai Cangshu's ambiguous smile, An Zhiyuan even wondered if this guy was planning to take action against Qingkong's people and use violence to invalidate the contract if it couldn't be fulfilled.

But now that Tao Pai Pai is establishing a new power, he probably won't be as unruly as before.

An Zhiyuan relaxed a little. He even offered to find the two special vials of Dragon King Blood Essence from the hands of [Destiny] and [Illusory Throne].

Bai Cangshu remained noncommittal, letting the other party leave. He had made a fortune from this transaction, and there were quite a few other people who wanted to trade with him, but Mu Yu from [The Heaven] was the first to respond to him.

The woman led Su Qingqiu and Su Enfei into Bai Cangshu's private space and presented them with a new Bodhi.

Mu Yu hesitated for a moment before speaking.
“Mr. Tao Pai Pai, this Bodhi stone has already been purchased, but… I would like to exchange it for the vial of Titan’s Blood on your stall…”

Su Enfei's eyes widened in surprise, wondering why Mu Yu, who was always so prudent, was being so bold this time.

She had clearly agreed to apologize, and she had prepared her explanation for the "fated death."

Although the “destined death” is terrifying, if I say that I was defeated and handed over to Tao Pai Pai as compensation, those lunatics probably won’t dare to hold a grudge.

Bai Cangshu calmly watched the woman who was raising the price. In this private space, he couldn't read minds, but judging from her expression alone, this woman didn't seem to be raising the price.

"Lord Tao Pai Pai, those guys from 'Destined Death' are a bunch of lunatics. I don't want any trouble before the new cycle begins. Once the new cycle starts, they might lose that title..."

【Destined Death】is also a small gathering in the third tier, but it is very famous. Similar to Bai Cangshu, it is a gathering of vicious people who specialize in killing other reincarnators for hire and trade.

They had once invited Bai Cangshu to join them.

Furthermore, they must have received some special title in the world of [Elden Ring], which gives them a certain ability to ignore immortality.

They are a group of guys who are very good at killing reincarnators.

Bai Cangshu did not object to the woman's self-righteous good intentions, and he extended his hand.

You have obtained 1 Bodhi seed.

Then, Bai Cangshu swallowed the Bodhi bead he was wearing around his neck.

You consumed the item "Bodhi".

A powerful illusion struck, and in the blink of an eye, Bai Cangshu found himself beneath the twin Sala trees.

He watched the leaves falling from the sky, surrounded by peace and tranquility.

With a thought, Bai Cangshu began practicing martial arts under the tree.

……

Su Qingqiu frowned, realizing that Tao Baibai actually had this purpose. Because of the powerful effect of the [Bodhi], wearing it could increase the speed of cultivating and comprehending other abilities.

However, swallowing a Bodhi seed can directly increase your specialization level by one.

This Tao Bai Bai was so greedy that, in order to have both effects, he actually asked for a new Bodhi seed.

At this moment, Su Qingqiu felt that Mu Yu's kindness was completely unnecessary. This kind of greedy beast could not be satisfied at all, and would not even appreciate her kindness.

Mu Yu calmly shook her head. She did not have a special magic eye, nor did she have any special prophetic abilities or sequences.

But she was very good at "judging people". She could feel the change just by coming into contact with this Tao Pai Pai. She was different from the Tao Pai Pai of the past, who made people feel cold all over just by being near her.

Today, Tao Bai Bai exudes a subtle grandeur.

boom!
A surge of energy burst forth from her body. Before the eyes of the three, Tao Pai Pai opened her eyes, and a powerful burst of energy shot out like a laser beam, piercing through the sofa opposite her.

Tao Baibai opened her arms, and her energy was like thunder, grabbing the various sofas and utensils in the private space and throwing them into the air.

"This is Tao Pai Pai... my style of martial arts?"
