Divine Seal: Six Paths of Reincarnation, I am the Crown-Rank Assassin

Chapter 63 The Opportunity to Reshape the Rules of the World
The voices came from all directions, and the aged voice sounded more of a question than an interrogation.

Yan Qianqiu did not open his eyes, his lips moved, and his expression was natural. "I believe the essence of life is plunder!"

"How do you know?" He was intrigued.

"Plants absorb the essence of the earth and the sun."

Herbivores eat grass.

"Carnivores eat meat."

"To survive or to become stronger, one needs to take away other lives," the boy retorted. "Eating flesh and bones is perfectly justifiable, so why is devouring souls a despicable act?"

The strands of grayish-white soul energy resembled ferocious faces, appearing exceptionally menacing.

Yan Qianqiu felt no pity whatsoever. If his cultivation were weak, he feared he would be torn to pieces by these souls who loathed the living.

Since the dead dared to attack him.

It would be better to transform it into a spiritual furnace and make it a part of one's own power.

Perhaps, this was all ordained by fate!
The vengeful spirits surged forth and gathered at the boy's dantian.

The rudimentary form of the spirit furnace is becoming increasingly apparent.

The three legs spun around, their surfaces etched with ferocious and terrifying faces. In the center of the furnace, a piece of agarwood was inserted.

It quietly transformed into a flag, fluttering in the gray-white wind.

The Appraisal Technique was thrown in front of the newly formed spiritual furnace, which was condensed from tens of thousands of souls.

【Evil Ghost Path Spirit Furnace】

[Formed from the souls of evil spirits who loathe the living, they are never satisfied with the flesh and blood of the living; only the most wicked and vicious fall into the realm of evil spirits...]

[Extinction Curse Soul Technique: An extremely powerful fusion of cursed vengeful spirits born from the burning of battlefield dead. It can be controlled by the Master for one hour, after which it will transform into a mindless, monstrous soul that will hunt down the Master.]

[Exorcism Techniques: Commanding the Power of the Dead]

Yan Qianqiu's eyes were bloodshot, and the excruciating pain slowly subsided. A smile appeared on his face. It really was the power of the Six Paths!

The Way of Heaven, the Way of Hell, and now the Way of Evil Ghosts!
This Demonic Path Spirit Furnace also has side effects, but compared to the Hellish Path's Hellish Entanglement, the pursuit of the Master seems acceptable.

Yan Qianqiu clenched her fist, then relaxed it.

Looking at the gray-white Eternal Tower in front of him, he did not hesitate and quickly walked to the gray-white gate.

There were no carved patterns visible at first glance.
Its style is simple and dignified.

Above the gate, on the threshold, there is a thick stone slab with a script similar to that used by the Holy Alliance, only more complex.

"Eternal sleep."

A magnificent aura, towering majestically like a ten-thousand-foot mountain.

Pushing open the door required no effort at all.

A stream of extremely pure blackish-gray energy shot out from the tower, filled with the aura of death, even more noble than the souls of vengeful spirits.

It was completely absorbed by the evil spirit furnace.

It sounded as if teeth were chewing, making sounds of great enjoyment.

Enter the tower.

The vast hall that appeared before the boy was boundless and far-reaching, even more expansive than the tower outside, forming its own world within itself.

Forty-eight giant pillars support a ten-zhang (approximately 33 meters) dome.

"Welcome to eternal rest."

An aged voice rang out without warning.

Comparing the two previous voices, Yan Qianqiu found that this voice was more mechanical and monotonous, and should be a pre-arranged backup plan.

"The Tower of Eternity is the culmination of my wisdom over a thousand years of life. If you pass the test, you will inherit my mantle completely."

"The dead will reappear on earth, and the hypocrites of the glorious Church will sleep in death."

"Go forward bravely, child. You are the first necromancer to step into the Tower of Eternity, and the only one to inherit it."

"You will face danger and trials, but your life will not be in danger."

"I'll be waiting for you at the top of the tower."

……

"Hypocrites of the Glorious Papacy," Yan Qianqiu muttered to himself.
"It seems that Electrox is unaware that the Glorious Church has been destroyed and that the Knights Temple has now taken over the legacy of the Glorious Church."

He knew very well that Electrolux had slaughtered a third of humanity, making him one of the main culprits that led humanity into the Dark Ages.

However, the fact that Elder Yi, as a necromancer, left behind his legacy without facing mortal danger reveals something about his intentions. Temple history records...

The undead calamity that occurred ten thousand years ago demonstrated power comparable to that of the seventy-two demon gods, which is enough to show its terrifying strength.

The Glorious Church paid an extremely heavy price to completely eradicate the necromancers.

More than 90% of the strong human warriors died in battle.

The population even decreased by half after the war.

Electrox was the leader of many necromancers.

Yan Qianqiu walked forward. To leave this place, he needed to obtain the Eternal Tower Token, which was the key to unlocking the undead demiplane.

"Before the first test, let me test your attributes," the aged voice slowly rang out.

The grayish-white light was filled with an aura of terror.

The chilling cold was like ice that had stood for millennia.

"Demons, hell, heavens!" The old man's voice grew louder and louder. "A good insight! The essence of life's vigorous growth is plunder!"

"Your attributes are even more perfect than mine!"

"It could even reshape the rules of the Holy Demon Continent!"

“I think you don’t need to be tested anymore; that would be an insult to you,” the old man said with a hearty laugh.

The sound was deafening, but there was not a trace of sinister atmosphere.

Yan Qianqiu was shocked. "Reshape the rules of the world?"

A grayish-white light floated before the boy's eyes; it was a necklace, with pure white, transparent gemstones, radiating a soft and clear aura.

The rich and viscous spiritual energy almost materialized.

The pendant is a skull the size of a thumb, with reddish-gold flames dancing in the eye positions.

"You can bring your trusted companions here, but if anyone harbors ill intentions towards you, the Tower of Eternity will condemn them to eternal slumber..."

The pendant hung around his neck.

The dense spiritual energy increased at a visible rate, roughly estimated to have increased his spiritual energy by at least eight hundred.

"This place is yours now."

His voice gradually faded away.

Yan Qianqiu realized he was ready to leave and didn't want to linger any longer.

With a change of heart, the boy vanished and reappeared in the underground cave.

at this time,

The sounds of fear and lamentation from the cave are no longer heard here.

The Tower of Eternity has vanished without a trace, traversing space.

Yan Qianqiu passed through the tunnel and went upwards. Suddenly, his vision opened up, and a bright sun hung high in the sky, its rays shining down on him.

The Moon-Treading Star Steed, its hooves treading on star mist, appeared before the boy.

“We’ve discovered traces of the demon race; there are eighty-three of them in total,” Cai’er transmitted to the boy’s ear. “However, they haven’t discovered us yet.”

"Let me take a look first." Yan Qianqiu braced himself against the back of his mount and mounted it.

What you see.

The demons riding nightmare horses from the foot of the hill continued to rush towards the Cave of Fear and Howl. The leader was a seventh-tier demon lord, accompanied by twelve sixth-tier demon commanders.

Thirty fifth-tier great demons.

This level of strength is already extremely terrifying.

"Should we kill or flee?" Cai'er asked, her short sword flashing with a cold, menacing light.

"kill!"

After a brief moment of contemplation, Yan Qianqiu gave his final answer.

He held the Eternal Melody in his hand, and its light enveloped the Moon-Treading Star Steed and his five teammates—a symbol of eternity.

With the marker, he can teleport his teammates to the Tower of Eternity at any time.

　In the original story, Cai'er, with her fifth-tier strength, killed a seventh-tier level five demon lord and a nightmare demon horse in this battle.

　　However, if the fourth level of the Reincarnation Furnace is used, the fifth level would result in a living dead.

　　Why do I feel like Cai'er in the original novel was just a tool to help Long Haochen get through the crisis?
