I Truly Am The Villian Chapter 2229 - 2228: The Reincarnation Begins, From Today I Am the Dominator

Regulations are merely human constructs.

To transgress these rules is to defy their originator.

Xu Zimei entered a state of deep contemplation.

How might these rules be established?

His journey first led him to the Heavenly Dao of the Divine Continent, which at this juncture seemed to have just begun to formalize.

The Heavenly Dao manifested as an awe-inspiring presence, not physical but in the form of wind and thunder, suspended high in the celestial expanse.

The Great Dao resonated around it, an overwhelming concentration of its Power that was almost impossible to resist.

Xu Zimei stood there, completely in sync with the Great Dao.

Beyond the Great Dao, Xu Zimei perceived what appeared to be thousands of threads radiating outwards.

These threads signified the power of the Rules.

They emanated from the core of the Heavenly Dao, eventually reaching every conceivable part of the world.

Xu Zimei's task was to introduce additional rules into this intricate web.

One such crucial addition was the rule of cause and effect.

The Heavenly Dao favored the concept of reincarnation, positing that all beings possessed a predetermined destiny.

Reckless bloodshed would incur karmic debt.

This accumulated karma would inevitably manifest after one's demise.

While the conflicts and schemes among cultivators were exempt, the wanton slaughter of ordinary mortals,

would indeed constitute a grave sin.

Xu Zimei assumed a cross-legged posture.

First, within the scope of the Divine Continent, the Underworld was already in existence.

This realm had been established early on during Xu Zimei's period of creation.

However, the Underworld was, at that time, merely an unformed entity.

Despite the possibility of reincarnation after death, the Underworld functioned simply as a transitional phase.

Consequently, Xu Zimei's objective was to fully actualize the Underworld.

The initial phase of this endeavor involved refining the Six Paths of Reincarnation and instituting the Eighteen Layers of Hell.

This was no trivial undertaking.

Xu Zimei decided to appoint the Third-Eye Demon Monarch as the sovereign of the Underworld, entrusting him with its administration on his behalf.

This position would be akin to that of a King Yan.

Since the evolution and integration of the other half of his Divine Soul, the Third-Eye Demon Monarch's capabilities had significantly amplified.

The Demon Generals and guardians positioned before Xu Zimei had all experienced remarkable advancements.

This was because they were spared the necessity of comprehending the intricate and abstruse Great Dao of the Nine Domains World.

They could directly grasp the Great Dao of the Divine Continent.

Xu Zimei had even created a shortcut for them, presenting the Great Dao of the Divine Continent directly within their purview.

This allowed them to perceive the Heavenly Dao with remarkable ease.

Consequently, their cultivation and enlightenment progressed with considerable facility.

However, Xu Zimei's own path to enlightenment presented greater challenges.

He could not directly comprehend the Heavenly Dao of the Divine Continent.

The Divine Continent, after all, was merely a medium-tier world and had not yet ascended to the status of a major or even a super-world.

Therefore, attempting to comprehend the Great Dao of the Divine Continent would impose inherent limitations.

Xu Zimei's current approach was to comprehend the Dao of the Nine Domains World first, and then transfer this understanding to the Great Dao of the Divine Continent.

This method ensured that not only was his personal Great Dao free from constraints,

but the Divine Continent itself reaped substantial benefits.

...

Following the appointment of the Third-Eye Demon Monarch,

Xu Zimei commenced his seated meditation, dedicating himself entirely to the refinement of the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

The concept of reincarnation fundamentally refers to the perpetual cycle of birth and death within a species.

However, variations exist in the cyclical transitions between species.

The Six Paths of Reincarnation facilitate the transformation of individuals from one species into another.

Humans could transition into animals, and animals could become humans.

The specific outcome for each individual was contingent upon the virtues and deeds accumulated in their past life.

The underlying principles were extraordinarily complex.

While engaged in the refinement of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, Xu Zimei lost all track of time, immersed in his task as if enduring the bitter cold without awareness of the passing years.

He meticulously calculated the parameters for the Six Paths of Reincarnation, utilizing the principle of karma as the foundational element.

Thus, after the passage of an entire month,

the aura emanating from Xu Zimei had intensified to a terrifying degree.

This aura surged like colossal tidal waves.

Any entity that ventured too close would be instantly overwhelmed by the Power of the Great Dao.

Under the immense pressure exerted by the Great Dao, the energies surrounding Xu Zimei began to concentrate and coalesce.

A circular form materialized before him.

Initially indistinct, this circle gradually sharpened into clarity.

And became more substantial.

The circle then started to segment, breaking down into numerous smaller divisions.

The standard configuration of the Six Paths of Reincarnation naturally consists of only six segments.

These are categorized as the Heavenly Path, the Human Path, the Asura Path, the Animal Path, the Hungry Ghost Path, and the Hell Path.

However, these divisions differ across various worlds.

The Six Paths of Reincarnation that are suitable for other realms are not necessarily appropriate for Xu Zimei's Divine Continent.

Therefore, Xu Zimei implemented a more granular division for the Path of Reincarnation.

In addition to the multitude of sentient beings, plant life was also incorporated.

It is important to recognize that plants also possess life, and within the cultivation world, flora constitute a significant component.

As reincarnation beckoned, the entirety of the Divine Continent's firmament darkened, transforming as if a tempest was about to break.

An oppressive atmosphere descended, potent like the deluge of a mountain rain, with the wind swirling into buildings, and dark clouds looming, poised to shatter the world.

Numerous individuals took note of this shift, particularly the more formidable beings whose sensitivity to the fundamental laws of the world was heightened.

"What is occurring?" someone questioned aloud.

"The heavens are in turmoil; I cannot fathom the reason," another replied.

"A premonition gnaws at the depths of my soul."

And precisely at this juncture, as the cycle of reincarnation commenced its manifestation.

Xu Zimei extended his hands, unleashing a formidable power that propelled the reincarnation directly into the Underworld.

The Path of Reincarnation began to spiral within the Underworld, forging its own distinct realm.

However, at this nascent stage, the Path of Reincarnation existed independently, not yet unified with the myriad forms of life across the Divine Continent.

Xu Zimei's hands continued their motion.

One hand symbolized cause, the other, effect.

The Dao of cause and effect was meticulously refined by him.

It commenced its integration with the Path of Reincarnation.

This intricate process unfolded gradually, yet Xu Zimei remained unhurried.

...

Meanwhile, in the world beyond.

At this very moment, the Yuan Central Continent, guided by the True Martial Great Emperor, was undergoing an inexorable merging process.

The Yuan Central Continent began to tremble.

The entire world shook without cessation.

Resembling a colossal earthquake, mountains, rivers, and structures alike commenced a violent oscillation.

For an instant, the very sky seemed to spin.

"What is happening? Is the sky collapsing?"

Within the Yuan Central Continent, countless beings erupted into panic.

It felt akin to the world's final moments.

At this critical time, irrespective of one's power, all fell into disarray.

Faced with the overwhelming might of heaven and earth, every being was rendered utterly insignificant.

Even a Great Emperor was no more than a speck of dust.

In that instant, a chorus of laments arose from countless individuals.

Simultaneously, the silhouette of the True Martial Great Emperor materialized in the heavens above.

Though many years had elapsed since the True Martial Great Emperor's era, a considerable number failed to recognize him.

Yet, within the True Martial Holy Sect, numerous disciples identified their Ancestor instantly.

He was the revered Ancestor whom countless members of the True Martial Holy Sect looked up to.

At this juncture, throngs knelt in unison, commencing a chant invoking their Ancestor's name.

"From this day forward, I shall reign as the sovereign of the Yuan Central Continent."
