Sister, I don't want to be a furnace anymore. I'm about to become an immortal.

Chapter 107: On Reincarnation

As time passed, Xiao Yichen's figure had completely disappeared from Xiao Zi and Xiao Tu's sight.

The two of them stared at each other, and then Xiaotu wanted to sneak away. After all, without Xiao Yichen, the little snake in front of her looked quite stupid. As a result, as soon as she moved, her ear was bitten.

"Oh... little snake, what are you doing? I heard what your brother said just now. You can't really bite me..."

On the other side, Xiao Yichen was walking forward calmly. For some reason, his consciousness began to become a little fuzzy, and a large section of memory that did not belong to him appeared in his mind. It was very messy, but inexplicably made him feel a little familiar.

"What's wrong with me? Why do I feel this way?"

Xiao Yichen's alarm bells rang as he looked at the star-filled road beneath his feet. For a moment he was so absorbed in it that he actually saw the ocean in it.

Large groups of plankton absorb carbon dioxide at the ocean's surface and store it in their bodies. When they die, their bodies sink to the seafloor, forming a carbon sink. Over time, this organic carbon is converted into oil, natural gas, and other substances. When these are mined and used by humans, they return to the atmosphere as carbon dioxide, entering the cycle again.

As he lost consciousness, his pace began to slow down. Just when he was about to stop completely, the power of heavenly tribulation in his body suddenly erupted, waking him up from his previous confusion.

"Huh... so dangerous."

After taking a long breath, he continued to walk forward despite the pressure from above his head. As he walked, he kept pondering the name of this road: 'Rebirth'.

I don’t know why Star Reverend chose such a name, but a big shot like him wouldn’t just randomly choose a name because he has nothing to do. There must be some unknown secret behind it.

In addition, he made another discovery. Although he had no definite evidence, he vaguely felt that he could not stop on this road. Once he stopped, he might never be able to get out again.

"Abandon the past life and reach the next life. Anyone who stops there will be forever trapped in the cycle of reincarnation."

He didn't know where this sentence came from, it just appeared in his mind out of thin air. Because of this, he had the intuition that he couldn't stop.

For some reason, he realized that the pressure above his head was not directed at him, but more like the power of heavenly tribulation in his body. It was a very strange feeling, and he didn't know how to describe it.

"If what the little rabbit just said is true, then I'm afraid that the current danger is caused by the power of the heavenly tribulation in my body."

This thought appeared in his mind and he couldn't get rid of it for a long time. Following this idea further, he began to speculate about the origins of Star Reverend. Why would a powerful immortal who had ascended to the immortal realm for who knows how long have he been there target him, or rather, target the power of heavenly tribulation in his body?

But he couldn't figure out the reason no matter how hard he tried. The truth of everything would probably only be revealed when he reached the end of his life.

He began to put aside all irrelevant emotions and walked slowly forward. The scenery on the road seemed to be changing at any time, but when he looked closely, nothing had changed. The stone statues were still watching him on both sides. Under his feet was the eternal starry road, and below him was the bottomless endless abyss.

He just kept walking and walking, not knowing what time was or what the purpose of years was, as if everything in the world followed some kind of law and remained the same forever.

The shadow of a small flower appeared in front of him, and was then eaten by a passing small animal. The small animal was eaten by a larger animal, and after being digested, it was excreted from the body and continued to nourish the earth. After an unknown amount of time, a tender bud emerged from the ground and slowly grew into the original small flower, and was then eaten again, repeating over and over again.

When Xiao Yichen came to his senses, a golden light suddenly appeared in front of his eyes. It seemed that he had reached the end of the road, but it also seemed that it was still a long way off. He felt a little tired and wanted to stop, but every time he was about to stop, the power of heavenly tribulation in his body pulled him back from the abyss.

After repeating this several times, Xiao Yichen was almost numb. He found that no matter how he resisted the strange blur, he would be brought in unconsciously.

He wanted to turn around and leave, but his intuition told him that he was almost at the end. He kept walking, and finally, he couldn't bear it anymore and started to change his mind. He was afraid that the road under his feet had no so-called end at all. He started with the name "rebirth", hoping to find a way out.

"Rebirth... What is rebirth?..."

"No... what's wrong? Even though the road is called 'Rebirth', those mysterious experiences just now all point to the same thing: reincarnation."

Xiao Yichen kept walking. At this moment, he had ignored the pressure on him. His mind was completely focused on this matter. His brows were tightly furrowed, and he felt like his brain was about to explode.

"But those experiences were all contradictory. First, there was that initial vague sense of familiarity, and the words that suddenly popped into my mind: abandoning the past life and reaching the afterlife. Anyone who stops here will be forever trapped in the cycle of reincarnation. The meaning was very clear: reincarnation exists in this world."

"However, that sea, that flower, they seem to tell me that all things are constantly transforming into each other according to certain laws. That is not true reincarnation."

"But why do two completely different concepts appear here at the same time?"

He didn't know why this happened. If this was a test from Star Reverend, what was the meaning? Suddenly, he thought of a possibility, but his expression became even uglier.

"Could it be that Star Reverend wasn't the only one who laid this path, and there are also beings who oppose him? If that's the case, to reach the end of this path, I have to choose between these two. But how would I know the answer?"

Xiao Yichen continued to walk slowly forward. As time passed, he analyzed the changes in the power of the heavenly tribulation in his body and roughly figured out his current situation.

Now, he is probably involved in some kind of struggle, and the power of heavenly tribulation in his body represents the side that firmly believes in the existence of reincarnation.

Star Venerable represents a completely different path, which is to deny reincarnation.

Now, he needs to make a decision: should he follow the will of the power of the heavenly tribulation in his body and stay in reincarnation, or choose another path, the path of Star Venerable.

"Reincarnation, what a mysterious and hopeful word! If reincarnation really existed in this world, how wonderful it would be. Those people we cherish, all those things we cherish, would not feel regret for losing, because everyone knows that one day in the future, they will return to us. So... my choice is..."

As he spoke the answer in his heart, his footsteps continued to move forward without stopping. The road behind him began to collapse. As he walked further and further, he finally saw the end of the road ahead. In front of the end, a phantom floated in the air, staring at him with extremely lonely eyes.

"You finally came and chose this answer."
