Su Ping's soul journeyed through a wormhole to a dark, austere dimension containing a bone throne and a black longsword radiating a murderous aura. Charles appeared, revealing himself to be a soul mark and mocking Su Ping's escorts as 'lower-class people' fit only for the Soul Furnace.

Chapter 1327: Chapter 543: Goodbye, Charles! Reincarnation of the Netherworld God!

“As for who we are? It’s simple.

“We are the pioneers of our era, the helmsmen of civilization, and the trailblazers of history! Our very existence is the march of history itself!

“Of course, if you want to ask about my origins, there’s no harm in telling you.

“I was born into a slum family in Eagle Country. My grandfather was a stowaway from Dragon Country, so the same blood flows in our veins!

“Besides, Su Ping, when I speak of inferior people, I’m not judging them by bloodline, but by ability.

“Only the trendsetters with the true ability to ride the tides of change can become the pioneers in the history of Human Beastmasters, right?”

Su Ping paid no mind to his grandiose speech, merely clicking his tongue. “Tsk, Lord Charles actually still considers himself part of the Human Race? You still remember your grandfather and your bloodline?”

His undisguised mockery didn’t cause Charles to lose his composure in the slightest. Instead, he smiled faintly.

“These are irreversible things, aren’t they? However, the human body is indeed too frail.

“Humans can only grasp a fraction of the formidable power wielded by Pet Beasts upon reaching the Legendary Level. Compared to other existences, the human self is simply too weak.”

“And so, Lord Charles abandoned his human identity? You chose to become an Undead creature?”

Charles shook his head and corrected him.

“In the language of Dragon Country, the term ‘creature’ isn’t very flattering. I think it’s more fitting to use ‘entity’. Of course, you aren’t wrong.

“After all, humans have their limits, and most Pet Beasts have their limits as well. Even for powerful Legendary Level existences—excluding the Gu Divine Wood in the Hundred Thousand Mountains—their lifespans are quite ordinary. And even the Gu Divine Wood only lives for about a thousand years.

“Therefore, I did indeed discard my useless human body. At the same time, by existing as a soul, I retained my Soul Contract as a Human Beastmaster and discovered the most supreme path!”

At this point, despite having a soul body, Charles’s cheeks still revealed an uncontrollable flush of excitement and fanaticism. He looked at Su Ping and asked, “Su Ping, you should know what kind of existence we are facing together, right?”

Su Ping looked at the guy in front of him and eventually nodded. “I’ve guessed some of it, but I don’t know much.”

“Hehehe, the great Netherworld God, the Totem of Death, the absolute ruler of souls! Isn’t it our greatest honor to become the reincarnation of such an existence?”

Charles’s eyes shone brightly. The grayish-white Flame at the center of his brow seemed to appear in his pupils due to his fanaticism.

Su Ping’s eyes twitched. Although it was just a subconscious reaction, his soul couldn’t help but tremble upon hearing those words. “Reincarnation?”

Charles nodded.

“That’s right, reincarnation! Since you already know a little, you should also know the origins of the Heavenly Tomb and the return of the Netherworld God! But let me explain it to you in detail.

“The Netherworld God’s four reincarnation sites contain His greatest power, divided into the Soul Fire, the Sword of Death, the Undying Body, and the Crown of Sovereignty.

“Among them, the Soul Fire contains Lord Netherworld God’s impending awakened consciousness and the vast majority of His memories.

“The Sword of Death contains a remnant of Lord Netherworld God’s power and a portion of the rules of Death.

“The Immortal Body is Lord Netherworld God’s physical form and another portion of His power. That Heavenly Tomb is located within the Pyramid Ancient Country.

“As for the Crown of Sovereignty, it holds the authority to control all Undead and can summon and command all Death Believers!

“These four are Lord Netherworld God’s legacies. As long as these four are gathered, the Netherworld God can complete His revival!”

Su Ping furrowed his brow. He wasn’t surprised by this information, but instead looked at the other party with a peculiar expression. “So, what exactly does the word ‘reincarnation’ mean in this context?”

“Hahaha, don’t rush, Su Ping. We have plenty of Time to talk slowly. The reason is simple. Based on the Soul Fire I have already merged with…

“His existence has far exceeded our imagination. He has existed for at least hundreds of thousands of years, and this is merely a deduction I’ve made from exploring the memories so far.

“And in these countless past years, the Netherworld God has also revived before.

“However, the reason He has been able to remain Immortal all this time is that He discarded the most essential thing for Life, which is the concept of ‘Self’.”

“Self?” Su Ping raised an eyebrow.

“Exactly. Even a Mythical Level existence cannot truly live forever and be Immortal. Even stars and worlds will collapse with Time, and Mythical Level existences are naturally no exception.

“As the true Totem of Death, Lord Netherworld God naturally understood this. Therefore, in order to conquer Death, He created this method of reincarnation.

“His reincarnation is not a complete revival. In fact, after every Death, although His memories remain within His soul, there is no longer a self-conscious entity known as the ‘Self’.

“On the contrary, after merging with the soul of another Living Being, these reincarnated memories will be dominated by the will of the fused creature! So, Su Ping, you should understand now, right?

“We are not enemies! Quite the opposite, I have high hopes for you, and you truly deserve to be the person I favor the most! So do you realize what a tremendous gift I’ve given you?

“This is a gift that allows you to ascend to the heavens in a single bound! It is a Mythical Level stairway to the heavens that has never been explicitly recorded in human history!”

Charles stood up from his throne in agitation, spreading his arms wide, looking so thrilled that he seemed ready to dance with joy.
