After going through about twelve percent of the souls, Tianyi found it difficult to improve. Both his Law of Life and the Law of Death had reached a bottleneck. Any further mastery would cause either of them to break through to the divine level.
He stopped improving, but Daoyi continued to try her hand. Unlike him, she could reconstruct a soul much faster and in a much more complete state. Thanks to this round of experience, Daoyi successfully reached the divine level in the Law of Death, but she did not stop.
Tianyi watched as she started stitching multiple souls together in an attempt to create a new life without any defects or hints of artificial nature. She did create so new souls, but none of them reached her desired state.
Her actions made Tianyi shiver. He thought he was cruel and ruthless in his treatnt of these souls. Reality taught him there was only crueler and more ruthless, never cruelest.
Then Daoyi reversed her direction with the subsequent souls. She first healed them and then started breaking them down again. She wanted to remove all the karma and mories the soul experienced during its lifeti and return it to a newborn state. Although it sounded easier than creating a chira soul, the difficulty was not much different.
She failed a lot, often causing the souls to collapse from stress alone. Even those that entered a stable state might beco unstable for a myriad of reasons and start dissipating at varying speeds. Had the souls been conscious, they would have cursed him and Daoyi for their cruelty.
Later on, Daoyi asked Tianyi to lift the suspension on the soul. It raised the difficulty by several notches. Accompanying the difficulty was the pain. The souls would squirm in it and often collapsed because they could not bear the pain. Correspondingly, dealing with the souls while awake caused her skills to increase just as fast, if not faster. Without the influence of spaceti, she could better understand whatever state the souls were in, fragnts and all.
Daoyi made more progress than he did, but she also eventually reached a bottleneck. In total, both of them went through about thirty-three percent of all the injured souls. Although the souls were useless for now, Tianyi kept them quarantined and suspended.
He and Daoyi could co back and use these souls in the future. After all, it was better to use these readily available resources than to go out and cause a massacre for souls and soul essence.
Both Tianyi and Daoyi gained a lot from this experience. However, Daoyi wasn’t satisfied. Although she reached the divine level in the Law of Life and the Law of Death, her Law of Life-and-Death was still at an impasse. It felt as if there was just a paper-thin sheet of glass preventing her from reaching that level, but no matter what she did, that paper-thin divider felt thicker than Tianyi’s dinsional boundaries.
Daoyi didn’t plan to return to the Three Thousand Immortal Realms System imdiately. She wanted to see if she could gain so insights from when the Tengri Divine System rged with the largest Spaceti Divine System. The process should be similar to when the countless realms of the Divine Beast Pseudo System returned to the Three Thousand Immortal Realms System.
The effect should be even better and might be a breakthrough point.
Tianyi hadn’t considered this. He had stationed so conduits within the rging systems, but he never felt insight entering his mind. Or perhaps they did, but they were masked by his system conduits. After all, as the initiator and core of the rging systems, they got firsthand experience, making everything else seem paltry in comparison.
When the Tengri Divine System reached the location, another system was already waiting. Its size was about a band smaller, but if the two systems really went to war, it remained unknown who would prevail. Then again, that would never happen since both were controlled by Tianyi.
Daoyi appeared at the edge of the Tengri Divine System. The dinsional boundaries rippled as the proximity of the Spaceti Divine System disturbed the boundaries of both systems. The laws beca clear and hidden at irregular intervals. Once the two ca into contact, the laws would beco exposed and no longer hidden.
The initial contact between the two systems was slow and asured. Even if Tianyi controlled both systems, if he recklessly smashed the two of them together, it would only damage the foundation, and the rger might only be able to strengthen the unified system by a little bit.
It was a lesson taught through experience.
Daoyi didn’t mind. The slower the rger, the greater the benefits she would receive. Equally, the imperfections within the rger would cause more damage to both systems, but she would gain more.
In fact, Tianyi planned to construct a Six Paths of Samsara during the rger so that the unified system would be more complete and powerful. Of course, part of the reason was that it would benefit Daoyi.
The years passed, and the Tengri Divine System and Spaceti Divine System intersected. The collision caused spaceti to fluctuate. Had mortals lived in this area, they would have discovered themselves aging or regressing at random monts. Once they turned into a skeleton or regressed to before their birth, they would perish even if ti reset to normal.
Tianyi's mastery of the Law of Spaceti and his fusion of his divine world with the systems granted him a more perfect foundation in space and ti. So although this phenonon was outrageous and chaotic, it was swiftly reined in by him.
Had Tianyi mastered the divine-level Law of Life or the Law of Death, the mortals who died because they aged too much or regressed too far could have survived. The more the two systems intersected, the more stable the overlapping area beca, and only the fringes of each dinsional boundary showed instability in spaceti.
That did not last long. When thirteen percent of both systems had overlapped, Tianyi began to create the Six Paths of Samsara.
He pulled the Rivers of Ti in the Tengri Divine System and Spaceti Divine System and forcibly connected them. The aftereffects sent ripples through both divine systems. However, they were incredibly slight, and only the most perceptive would notice anything wrong. The Spaceti Divine System did not have much life, and the Tengri Divine System had no one capable of capitalizing on the change because of its cultivation system, so the ripples of ti did not give them any benefits.
The forced linkage of the Rivers of Ti tied the two systems even more intimately together. Tianyi wasn’t done, as countless branches split off the silver river and entered an invisible golden sea, the Sea of Space. With this, anyone who entered the River of Ti could travel anywhere the Sea of Space touched by flowing along the branches—provided they could survive the journey first.
What followed was the Law of Life and the Law of Death. Although neither law had reached the divine level, Tianyi had also mastered the Law of Life-and-Death. Compared to its derivative laws, it was much weaker in accumulation, but it was more than enough in this instance.
Tianyi opened a portal linked to his Nine Heavens Universe above the fused River of Ti. Out slithered a woman. She had the upper half of a human, but her lower half was entirely that of a serpent. She was Nuyi, the Goddess of Death in the Nine Heavens Universe.
She was also Daoyi’s clone.
Because of the special nature of her creation, Nuyi was locked within the Nine Heavens Universe. It was thanks to Nuyi that Daoyi’s talent in the Law of Death skyrocketed, but perhaps it was this link that made it so difficult for her to reach the divine level in the Law of Death later on.
It was only after Daoyi reached the divine-level Law of Death and used it as a catalyst, allowing Nuyi to reach the sa level, that she had the prerequisite to leave the Nine Heavens Universe. The only thing left was to create the Death Divine World.
Tianyi brought Nuyi out to share so of the pressure and allow Daoyi to gain insights. Although she had mastered the Law of Death and the Law of Life at the divine level, she was still not a true divinity, so she could not withstand the River of Ti’s ravaging. Using Nuyi would dilute the insights, but it was better than nothing. Or rather, this was a fortuitous encounter even divinities would vie for.
The process was not smooth. rging already carried a risk of damaging both systems, but creating a reincarnation cycle increased the damage. However, there were two benefits. The damage caused by both sides would release world essence, which he could use to supplent the Six Paths of Reincarnation, and creating it now would solidly embed the Six Paths of Reincarnation deep into the unified system’s core.
Tens of thousands of years later, the River of Ti had transford into the River of Reincarnation with six currents representing the God Path, Human Path, Asura Path, Animal Path, Hungry Ghost Path, and Hell Path. The only thing missing was the souls.
Tianyi waved his hands, and countless souls rushed into the newly ford Six Paths of Samsara. These souls were the ones he had quarantined. They were complete souls Tianyi saved when life died in the Tengri Divine System and Spaceti Divine System. Although Tianyi did not purposely focus on life, many of them still propagated. When countless lives ended from old age or other reasons, he kept their souls for this purpose.
Although the Six Paths of Samsara protected the souls, it was still imperfect. Many souls slamd into the currents and shattered. So even collided with each other and perished.
Tianyi showed no emotion as he continued to manipulate the River of Reincarnation and perfect the process, showing no remorse or pity for the destroyed souls. These souls were already destined to perish, and the best they could do was beco phantoms of their forr selves. Giving them a chance to reincarnate was their opportunity, not sothing he owed them.
Soon, the first batch of souls almost all died, with only a few succeeding in reincarnation. That was fine. Tianyi sent the next batch of souls. He continued this process until he ran out of souls, perfecting it with each experience. There were still so minor imperfections, but Tianyi had the confidence to smooth out all the kinks with ti.
With the Six Paths of Samsara, life flourished even more. Compared with stripping souls of their life experience and sending them back with a clean slate, creating new souls from scratch obviously took more energy. More than that, the stripped fragnts could turn into energy and strengthen the system.
In the process, Tianyi successfully mastered the divine-level Law of Life and Law of Death, raising the Six Paths of Samsara to a higher level. Next, Tianyi planned to use this experience to increase the Nine Heavens Six Paths of Samsara.
Tianyi wasn’t the only one to benefit, as Daoyi also successfully mastered the divine-level Law of Life-and-Death. She didn’t imdiately leave since the rger between the Tengri Divine System and Spaceti Divine System had not finished.
Daoyi relaxed. The years of not being able to master the divine-level Law of Life-and-Death finally disappeared. She had been worried that no matter how hard she tried, she would not be able to reach that realm. Sotis, Daoyi thought that it would have been better to use just a divinity using the Law of Life. If anyone else had the sa support Tianyi provided, surely they would have succeeded?
Thankfully, she succeeded. Although she was not as focused as before, Daoyi discovered her insights into the myriad laws increased at a much faster rate than before. Perhaps it was because she mastered the Divine Law of Life-and-Death, or perhaps it was her change in mindset, but it was a good thing.
When the Tengri Divine System and Spaceti Divine System fully rged, Daoyi left and entered the Nine Heavens Universe.
