As the saying goes, the biting dog doesn’t bark.
This person seed polite, but when it ca to killing, he wouldn’t even blink an eye.
In his past life, he had once summoned a flood over a disagreent, drowning an entire village.
He was not like the middle-aged woman who devoured people.
But he did enjoy killing, feeling it was the pleasure of being powerful.
The number of his killings was staggering—
Those corpses could have piled up into a towering mountain.
"Soul Hooker, why aren’t you speaking?"
The gaunt man pursed his thin lips, his gaze growing sharper, and his hands started moving involuntarily.
"You died due to demonic deviation during your cultivation," Wu Xiaode said.
"Yes, a minor mistake," the gaunt man replied with so annoyance in his tone.
"Perhaps you are not aware that it wasn’t actually your mistake," Wu Xiaode said.
"Hmm?"
The gaunt man’s attention suddenly focused, staring intently at him.
"Please continue."
"To be frank, your body had a small issue; you were born with an incomplete ridian, which is why you succumbed to demonic deviation."
"Thus, it was due to your body, not your mistake."
The gaunt man pondered quietly, then said softly,
"So you’re saying, it wasn’t actually my fault?"
Wu Xiaode nodded and glanced again at his notebook.
The middle-aged woman at least had one fluke that garnered her so rit.
This fellow had no such rit, nothing but the shackles of blood and destruction.
—This terrifying being hidden beneath human skin was so powerful that even his reincarnation offered two choices.
One is to continue on the path of Cultivation—
There was no helping it, to keep him trapped in the Virtual World, he had to be allowed to continue doing as he pleased.
There was a note on the notebook:
"By aiding in selecting this life path, you will receive the standard task reward."
The second option was to lead him down a new path, one chosen by the supre being of All Worlds himself, but it had to ensure that he would not continue to cause widespread Destruction and kill nurous beings.
There was also a note under this option:
"By aiding in selecting this life path, you will receive double the task reward."
Wu Xiaode quickly finished reading.
Which to choose?
It wasn’t important.
To survive was to be victorious.
"Soul Hooker, I have killed countless people, yet I do not know where I shall be reborn next?" the gaunt man asked.
He maintained a polite deanor.
However, the river beneath Naihe Bridge began to boil, with countless undercurrents, mingled with corpses and skeletons, erging on the water’s surface—
However, those floating bodies were desperately sinking into the river, as if scrambling to get as far away as possible.
Wu Xiaode smiled.
"Although you have killed many, you possess extraordinary achievents and contributions as a Cultivator."
"Therefore, you have two choices, the first one—"
With a wave of his hand,
layers of light and shadow suddenly appeared in the Void.
The gaunt man looked up to see a young man sitting cross-legged, surrounded by various colors of light.
"This is you in the next life."
"You will be given a perfect body, again set on the path of Cultivation, and this ti you will have no weaknesses and will surely overco that tribulation," Wu Xiaode explained.
The slender man seed to be moved, his expression contemplative.
After a long while.
"To cultivate again, huh."
He sighed, seeming both expectant and disdainful.
Wu Xiaode paused for a mont.
In the depths of the unknown, he sensed a crisis.
If the other grew tired of such a life path and beca interested in the present environnt—
In fact, he couldn’t stop him at all.
Even this bridge, along with the entire Death World, could be destroyed by him.
Everything hinged on this monster’s whim.
Wu Xiaode’s heart tightened.
No.
How could I sit and wait for doom?
If I keep being passive, the other might see how weak I am.
I must try to take control of the situation now!
"Of course, if you don’t want to cultivate, relying on your strength, you still have another path you can take."
Wu Xiaode waved his hand.
A burst of light and shadow appeared in the void.
In these light and shadows, a man on horseback appeared, followed by a countless army.
This man charged with his army, continuously slaughtering, and ultimately conquered a city.
He didn’t just cultivate; he also seized treasures, abducted won, recruited followers, captured exotic pets, and battled various demons and devils.
He beca the strongest being!
"This isn’t rely about cultivation anymore."
"Your life will be filled with more challenges and bloodshed, and sotis you must fight others to acquire sufficient cultivation resources."
"Would you like to try it?"
Wu Xiaode asked.
The gaunt man was taken aback.
In his last life, the whole world was weak, and killing people was as easy as slicing lons and vegetables.
Actually, it beca a bit boring after a while.
If he could really be reborn in such a constantly warring world where everyone had various abilities, that would be interesting.
It would make killing even more fun.
"Hehe, this is exactly what I want, I choose this," the gaunt man said.
"Please!" said Wu Xiaode.
He waved his hand casually.
Boundless light enveloped the gaunt man.
The reincarnation was about to begin!
The gaunt man was about to leave with the light when he suddenly paused and turned his head to look at Wu Xiaode.
"You’re not deceiving , are you?"
He asked lightly.
Wu Xiaode showed a smile and spoke in a careless tone,
"You can actually feel whether I’m telling the truth or not, can’t you?"
The gaunt man fell silent for a mont, then suddenly laughed, saying,
"Everything you said is true, but there’s still so much about my life that you haven’t ntioned."
His killing intent surged, causing the light surrounding him to scatter.
Yet Wu Xiaode remained unruffled, chuckling,
"Do you really think I can control your life?"
The gaunt man was taken aback.
Wu Xiaode spread his hands and said,
"– That’s impossible; many things have to be decided by you — you have to take control of your own life."
"Those unntioned details will be written by you."
After pondering for a mont, the gaunt man showed a satisfied expression on his face.
"You’re right; my life is for to decide."
"Thank you for not telling any lies and for giving this opportunity to be reborn."
He thought for a while, then placed a flickering object on the stone railing by the bridge.
"This is my token of thanks."
"Farewell, emissary."
With a flash of light.
The gaunt man disappeared from in front of Wu Xiaode.
Suddenly.
Rows of small characters erged on the notebook:
"Special Warning!"
"The ’Virtual World’ cannot construct the life you promised him; the ’Virtual World’ does not allow for so many cultivators to exist, nor for the ergence of so many exceptional natural treasures!"
"Please repair this imdiately, or you will —"
Wu Xiaode didn’t even bother to finish reading; he simply said,
"He will co into contact with a large-scale ga at the age of five and fall into its allure, loving gas for his entire life."
"Everything I promised for his life will be fulfilled in the ga."
"That’s simple, isn’t it?"
On the notebook, all the small characters froze in place.
After a mont, those warning characters silently retracted.
