Projection of the Heavens: I prove my immortality through slaughter.

Carrying the earth-shattering secrets of the collapse of the ancient cycle of reincarnation and the blood debts accumulated over millennia, Lin Xuan returned to the Primordial Pure Land. He did not immediately reveal the truth he knew; some information, the more people know, the more dangerous it becomes. He simply suppressed that heaviness and killing intent deep in his heart, transforming it into an inexhaustible driving force propelling him forward.

The underworld continued to function smoothly, its radiant light of merit and virtue illuminating the land. The sorcerer's sacrificial chants were melancholic, and countless souls were cleansed and purified in the Yellow Springs. However, when Lin Xuan looked at this place of reincarnation that he had personally created, his feelings were completely different from before he left.

The slight sense of pride and accomplishment I once had vanished, replaced by a strong sense of inadequacy and urgency.

Compared to the vast, boundless, and strictly ordered ancient realm of reincarnation depicted in that scene, his hundred-mile-long Netherworld was like a firefly compared to the bright moon, so rudimentary as to be almost laughable. The magnificent atmosphere that permeated Yin and Yang and guided the souls of the dead throughout the myriad realms, and the complete system of laws that allowed ghosts and gods to act in accordance with the rules and allowed true spirits to be reborn in an orderly manner, were far beyond what his current rudimentary form could compare to.

"The road ahead is long and arduous..." Lin Xuan murmured softly, gazing down at the Yellow Springs before the Underworld Palace. But there was no discouragement in his eyes, only an even stronger resolve: "The path of those who came before has been broken; I will personally forge a new road to heaven!"

He first turned his attention to the core water system of the underworld—the Yellow Springs.

Although the Yellow Springs of today is quite large and can cleanse the past lives of souls, its essence is more of a forced creation based on his own understanding of reincarnation, combined with the origin of the underworld and the absorbed soul power. It lacks a kind of historical sedimentation, a kind of "orthodoxy" and "authority" originating from the origin of reincarnation.

In those ancient ruins of reincarnation, besides feeling the sorrow of collapse and the conspiracy of the Celestial Court, he also keenly caught a trace of extremely faint, almost completely dried-up and dissipated... the Daoist charm of water vapor!

That wisp of Daoist energy lingered near the collapsed gate of reincarnation, filled with the true meaning of cleansing, forgetting, returning to stillness, and guiding others. Its essence far surpassed that of the Yellow Springs in the underworld! That was the true, original aura of the Yellow Springs belonging to the ancient cycle of reincarnation!

Although that wisp of aura had long since been almost completely annihilated with the collapse of the Samsara Realm, leaving only an extremely illusory shadow, its very existence was a priceless treasure!

"My Yellow Springs, though possessing form, lacks its spirit. If I could guide the ancient phantom of the Yellow Springs back to its rightful place and merge it into my Netherworld, its essence would surely be transformed, truly granting it the supreme power to guide the souls of the dead and cleanse the eternal obsessions!"

A bold idea took shape in his mind.

He will once again travel to the edge of the Ruins of Return, using his own Netherworld as a guide and the Reincarnation Mark as a bridge, to forcibly capture and guide that almost non-existent ancient Netherworld phantom, integrate it into his own Netherworld, and perfect the Reincarnation Water System!

This move is undoubtedly extremely risky. The spacetime near the Guixu Sea Eye is chaotic and the laws are broken. If we are not careful, we may not only trigger a backlash from the power of Guixu, but also alert the hidden forces that the Celestial Court may have to monitor the heavens.

But Lin Xuanyi had made up his mind. The war with the Celestial Court had already begun silently, and any opportunity to strengthen his own foundation was worth the risk!

Without further delay, he entrusted the affairs of the Underworld to the Xuan Yue Witch Priest and several Yin God Legion Commanders for joint management, and then, alone, tore through the void once more, heading towards the awe-inspiring Guixu Sea Eye.

With practiced ease, he once again arrived at the ruins located on the edge of ultimate nothingness. The remains of the Gate of Reincarnation still stood coldly, telling of past glories and sorrows.

Lin Xuan concealed all his aura, minimizing his presence to the lowest possible level, like a speck of dust in the universe. He approached cautiously, his divine sense like the finest thread, avoiding the unstable spatial rifts and the gravitational vortex of the Void, spreading towards a specific area of ​​the Gate of Reincarnation ruins.

There, he once again sensed that extremely faint wisp of water vapor, as if it were about to completely dissipate in the next second. It was like a candle flickering in the wind, yet it stubbornly maintained a trace of undying spirituality, as if waiting for something.

"It's you!"

A glint flashed in Lin Xuan's eyes, and he no longer hesitated. He rapidly formed hand seals, and the Ancient Nascent Soul within his body suddenly opened its eyes, its hands forming a gesture of embrace. The Samsara Mark beneath it erupted with an unprecedentedly brilliant light!

"In the name of myself, Lord of Reincarnation, I summon the spirits of the eternal Yellow Springs!" "The old ways are gone, the new order is established! Return!"

Om-!

The light of the Reincarnation Mark transformed into an incomparably condensed bridge of chaotic light, ignoring the barriers of space and the interference of the Ruins of Return, and precisely projected onto the wisp of ancient Yellow Springs phantom that was about to dissipate!

The moment the light bridge made contact, the illusory figure seemed to be infused with life, and it trembled violently! A faint yet incredibly pure and ancient Yellow Springs essence traveled along the light bridge, traversing endless time and space, and was transmitted towards the Netherworld where Lin Xuan was!

At the same time, within the Pure Land of the Primordial Netherworld, the surging Yellow Springs seemed to receive some supreme summons, and suddenly began to boil! The river roared, the waves surged to the sky, and the entire water system laws of the Netherworld resonated with it!

Using himself as a medium and the Reincarnation Mark as a hub, Lin Xuan forcibly connected the Netherworld Yellow Springs with the ancient Yellow Springs phantom!

"melt!"

He let out a low shout and poured his entire understanding of the laws of water, the true meaning of reincarnation, and the massive amount of soul power and merit accumulated in the underworld along the bridge of light like a flood bursting its banks!

After being nourished and guided by this immense power, that ancient phantom of the Yellow Springs finally ceased to be illusory and began to slowly solidify, transforming into a strand of primordial water vapor as thin as a hair, yet displaying a chaotic and mysterious yellow color. It flowed along the bridge of light, across the sea of ​​stars, and toward the Pure Land of the Beginning Netherworld!

This process was extremely slow and incredibly taxing. Lin Xuan could feel his own magical power and spiritual energy rapidly draining away, and he also had to distract himself from resisting the interference of the power of the Void Return. But his gaze remained firm, unwavering in the slightest.

After an unknown amount of time, just as Lin Xuan was feeling somewhat exhausted, the chaotic and primordial water vapor finally and completely merged into the Yellow Spring of the Primordial Netherworld!

"BOOM—!!!"

The moment the fusion was completed, the entire underworld underwent a dramatic transformation!

The once turbid and rushing Yellow Springs suddenly deepened in color, transforming into an even more profound and somber ochre! The river was no longer merely turbid, but seemed to contain endless dust of time and the mysteries of reincarnation! Its rushing sound also became increasingly grand and desolate, like the sigh of eternity!

A thin layer of mist, capable of blocking even divine sense, naturally spread across the river. This mist carried a strong sense of forgetting and tranquility, just like the illusion that should exist on the legendary road to the underworld!

More importantly, the cleansing power of the Yellow Springs has undergone a qualitative leap! Previously, it would take a long time for a soul to float in the river to wash away its obsessions and memories, but now, it only needs to touch the river water to be quickly peeled off and dissolved! Even some weaker souls, when they approach the riverbank, will be affected by the mist and the aura of the river water, automatically fall into a dazed state, and orderly step into the river.

The entire Yellow Springs seemed to have been endowed with a true "soul" and "authority"! It was no longer just a functional river, but had become an indispensable sacred river in the cycle of reincarnation, carrying the power of the laws!

The space of the Underworld has become more stable due to the replenishment and sublimation of the Yellow Springs Origin, and its boundaries have expanded outward by dozens of miles! The clear light cast by the high-hanging Mirror of Judgment seems to have become more transparent; the phantom of the Six Paths of Reincarnation has also solidified a little.

All beings in the underworld, whether they were spirits and ghosts, members of the witch clan, or those floating souls, clearly felt the changes in the Yellow Springs and the entire underworld! It was a fundamental improvement, a sense of fulfillment that brought them closer to their "ultimate destination"!

"The Yellow Springs... have returned to their rightful place!" The Xuan Yue priest was so excited that tears streamed down his face. He could feel how similar the aura of this new Yellow Springs was to the sacred river of the ancient ancestral land in his inherited memories!

Lin Xuan's figure stepped out of the void and returned to the Netherworld.

His face was slightly pale, and his breathing was somewhat uneven, clearly indicating that he had exhausted himself.

But when he saw the transformed Xuanhuang River and felt the immense and ancient power of reincarnation contained within it, his eyes were filled with satisfaction and a sharp sense of control over everything.

He stood on the newly renovated shore of the Underworld, his voice carrying supreme majesty, resounding throughout the netherworld:

"From this day forward, the spirits of the Underworld exist, and the cycle of reincarnation... is complete!"

"All souls of the myriad realms must cross this river to wash away their past deeds before they can see me!"

"This river is my will! This water is the iron law of reincarnation!"

With the Yellow Springs returning to their rightful place, the foundation of the underworld is strengthened once again.

Lin Xuan now possesses another crucial trump card to contend with the Celestial Court.

He believed that, with continuous completion and improvement, his underworld would one day surpass the ancient times and become the supreme cycle of reincarnation that truly governs the life and death of all heavens and makes even the celestial court tremble...
