Chapter 644 - 589: Reincarnation Ladder (2)
As the people were talking, a sudden change occurred.
In the very center of this blank area, a pure white staircase suddenly rose up.
The moment the pure white staircase appeared, it quickly ascended, reaching straight into the sky, and in an instant, it disappeared into the vast heavens.
At the end of the staircase, a massive pure white vortex appeared.
Standing within the vortex was a man draped in armor, along with countless monsters covered in green hair.
They stood at the highest point, overlooking all beings, with a hint of a smile at the corners of their eyes.
Yue Wushuang bit her white teeth tightly and said in a deep voice, "These are the original inhabitants."
As soon as she spoke, the armored man in the sky revealed a cold smile.
"This game has ended for you, but for me, it has just begun. Next, there is only one path before you."
"Step onto the Reincarnation Ladder and eventually reach where we are. By then, you can escape the aura of this Reincarnation Forbidden Area, and of course, you will face our welcome afterward."
Saying this, the armored man suddenly slapped his forehead.
"Oh yes, I almost forgot to introduce myself. My surname is Wang, and my name is Wang Yue. I am the leader here. Who among you is Qin An?"
As these words came out, many Forbidden Land Envoys unconsciously turned their gaze towards Qin An.
At this moment, Qin An had his brows tightly knit, his mind highly focused, as Colorless Void Essence flowed around him, resisting the erosion of the Reincarnation aura.
When this man named Wang Yue mentioned his name, Qin An immediately calculated.
He did not hide his identity, saying blandly, "I am Qin An. It turns out you traitors have long set a trap for me. Now it seems you’ve laid down a dead-end."
Anyone with a bit of intelligence can understand their intentions.
Two paths lay before them.
One, not going forward, waiting for the double power of reincarnation brought by the Reincarnation Ladder to erode them. The Void Essence will run out eventually.
Once unable to resist the Power of Reincarnation, the only thing awaiting them is death.
The second, stepping onto the Reincarnation Ladder to go upwards, but the higher the ladder, the stronger the pressure. Even if they reach the top, a large part of humans and Demon Pseudo-Gods will lose their fighting capacity.
Facing the original inhabitants of the Reincarnation Forbidden Area in such a state is also a dead end.
Both seem to be dead ends.
When Wang Yue heard Qin An’s words, his gaze swept back and forth across him, and his lips curved slightly upward.
"Not bad, with that momentum, you are worthy of the title ’Savior’, but unfortunately, today you will die here."
"Well, I don’t want to waste my words with you. We’ll be watching here to witness the scene of you ascending the Reincarnation Ladder and being slowly devoured by the Power of Reincarnation."
"I imagine it will be spectacular and quite beautiful."
Thus saying, Wang Yue seemed really to intend not to say more, only standing at the top with a group of green-haired monsters, overlooking below like gods.
The scene plunged into silence, so quiet a pin could drop.
Everyone silently endured the attack of the Power of Reincarnation and looked up at the Reincarnation Ladder ahead, their faces incredibly pale.
Each person was deeply troubled, hesitating about what to do next.
At this moment, Gu Yuan suddenly lifted his foot and stepped forward, landing not far from the Reincarnation Ladder.
People showed expressions of confusion, not understanding Gu Yuan’s actions.
Seeing this strange move, Yue Wushuang suddenly asked, "Lord Gu, are you intending to step onto the Reincarnation Ladder?"
Gu Yuan turned back, nodded, and said, "That’s right, rather than sitting here waiting for death, we may as well try to ascend. At least going out holds a chance of survival, but we must undergo a brutal test."
The Forbidden Land Envoys present were very decisive, able to quickly distinguish the advantages and disadvantages, acting in the beneficial direction.
Thus, when Gu Yuan made this decision, the Forbidden Land Envoys exchanged glances and then followed behind Gu Yuan, heading towards the Reincarnation Ladder.
After pondering for a moment, Qin An also followed without saying much.
To him, Gu Yuan’s decision was indeed the only solution.
The humans and Demon Pseudo-Gods present were all stunned in place.
Several cultivators showed wry smiles, wanting to move but having no courage at all.
Suddenly, Qin An stopped in his tracks, and many Forbidden Land Envoys also turned their gaze towards him.
After all, whether human cultivators or other Demon Pseudo-Gods, everyone had their eyes set on Qin An, and any slight change from him could attract everyone’s attention.
"Clan Leader Wang, it’s a matter of life and death now. You should make a choice; if we don’t go out to fight those people, we will still face inevitable death."
"We might as well band together and kill that group."
Upon hearing this, Wang Xue Ming suddenly clasped his fists towards Qin An and said, "The older one gets, the more afraid of death one becomes. Mr. Qin’s words indeed awakened me. If that’s the case, I will join Mr. Qin to engage in a vigorous battle with those original inhabitants."
He no longer hesitated, nor did he make any mobilization, just simply stepped forward.
Immediately, more and more human cultivators looked at Qin An’s back, silently following behind.
They were those who once fought against Demon Pseudo-Gods, eventually ended up here by accident.
To be honest, after generations of spread, nothing has been passed down except this fighting spirit.
Thus at this most desperate moment, instead, they were spurred into action by their fighting spirit.
"If I die, I won’t let you have it easy."
It’s just that simple a reason.
The Ape Demon Clan Leader watched this group of humans seemingly fearless of death approaching the Reincarnation Ladder, then looked at the Demon Pseudo-Gods beside him, sighing after a long while.
"Having fought them for so long, it’s the first time seeing them spring to life with such resolve. If they die, we can’t hold our ground alone. Being wiped out by these original inhabitants would be swift."
The Ape Demon Clan Leader stepped forward, the perfection aura of Tripod Aspiration Realm deployed to the extreme.
He walked straight towards the Reincarnation Ladder.
The remaining Demon Pseudo-Gods looked at each other.
The surrounding scenery was barren like a death zone.
They silently got up and followed along.
Wang Yue watched this scene and sneered.
"Well, well, well, in all these years within the Reincarnation Forbidden Area, it’s the first time we’ve seen you so united, but unfortunately, your unity is misplaced. Wait until you first step out of this Reincarnation Forbidden Area, then we’ll have another battle."
No one answered him because everyone was fueled by determination.
They wanted to live, and live well, but before that, sacrifices would not be scarce.
The aura of reincarnation from the Reincarnation Ladder was strong. Some cultivators were already feeling dizzy and unable to move forward, so they sat down, using the Void Essence within to resist the erosion of the reincarnation aura.
Even Qin An, a Forbidden Land Envoy, was feeling a bit of pressure at this moment.
At the forefront, Gu Yuan relied on his powerful aura to continue pushing forward.
The moment Gu Yuan stepped onto the Reincarnation Ladder, he suddenly vanished without a trace.
Next, people began to step in one after another, disappearing as they did so.
Qin An furrowed his brows.
Like others, he felt quite amazed by the scene before him.
Yet no one hesitated, and then they entered one after another again.
Qin An also followed amidst the crowd.
He exchanged a glance with Yue Wushuang.
Yue Wushuang gave a bitter smile and said, "Mr. Qin, take care, if we meet again, let’s help each other."
Qin An nodded slightly, not speaking, and stepped onto the ladder alongside Yue Wushuang.
The moment his foot landed on the ladder, Qin An felt a bewildering force surge through.
He noticed everything around him was changing.
The white world he was in disappeared, and now he found himself inside an ordinary house.
Inside the house, voices continued to echo.
Qin An struggled to open his eyes, finding himself incredibly aged, covered in wrinkles.
Meanwhile, a circle of men and women was kneeling around him.
They cried and wailed, as if bidding farewell to Qin An.
At this moment, a sense of fatigue hit him.
Qin An’s mind suddenly moved and produced a thought.
"Am I about to die?"
