Chapter 1: Reincarnation

How many steps does it take for an ant to pinch to death, how much time, and how much pain does it feel when it is dying?

Grab an ant and put your fingers together to kill an ant.

Two movements, a few seconds.

You can bury a life in your own fingers.

So how many steps does it take to kill a person, how much time, and how much pain does it take?

Death and resurrection are repeated over and over again.

Every time you die, there is no pain. Because every time you die, the pain of being crushed in the body has not been transmitted to the brain through the nerves, and the body has already turned into ashes, and even the most basic flesh and blood are left.

Although the physical death did not give any pain, then the soul was torn apart by a powerful force that cannot be described in words. A feeling that he hadn't experienced for a long time, the memory of his soul that had been tormented by Nidhogg, from the depths of Asakuraha's memory, was awakened again, and he was given memories again.

It's just that this time I couldn't make any shouts, so I had to bear everything silently.

Every resurrection is because I haven't reacted from the last time I stopped thinking. When he has consciousness, he has already taken on the form of a soul. Before he could react, the soul was thrust into the remodeled body, and then reduced to ashes again.

Again and again, over and over again, over and over again, death and resurrection. Unable to hear anything in both ears, unable to see anything in both eyes, never moving once in all four limbs, unable to comprehend surroundings through perception. The consciousness of oneself is only the concept of death and resurrection.

From the beginning, I knew that my soul was torn apart, and I felt extremely cruel and severe pain. In the end, I was indifferent and numb. Every resurrection, accompanied by every death, is as if there is nothing left here of death and resurrection, over and over again, madly tormenting your will.

Trying to crush it, trying to crush it, trying to turn it into a broken puzzle that can't be finished, fragmented.

I don't know how many times it has passed, but the number of times is no longer important. Feeling numb and indifferent to everything that happened to him, his consciousness has begun to become illusory, and the soon-to-be-disappeared Asakura leaves, in the stage of death and resurrection, barely see a trace of illusory and ethereal marquee.

When people are desperate and numb, but they have not completely given up hope, they will always try their best to grasp all the possibilities around them, all the possibilities that can save themselves.

It was a marquee that could not be captured, and quickly disappeared into his consciousness.

For others, it's simply meaningless. But for Asakuraha, it is a symbol of hope, a symbol of light, and a symbol that he has not been completely abandoned by the world.

He tried hard to stabilize this damn cycle of death and resurrection, even if it was only for a second. It only takes a second, and it only takes him to see the picture of the marquee.

Even if that picture is just a picture that makes him more desperate. But at least let him know that he can end this damn cycle.

Thinking like this, he frantically mobilized his own strength, and that weak power seemed vulnerable in the face of that strong and barbaric force.

His resistance was like a joke, death and resurrection did not stop because of his resistance, they were simple, as if they were mechanical, repeating themselves.

But his resistance is like proving himself, proving that he can put an end to this damned, powerless cycle of reincarnation.

After an unknown amount of resistance, and an unknown number of deaths and reincarnations, he finally did it.

The vision slowly became clear, and the flashing marquee, with the number of times he resisted, slowly became a scene, and everything around him slowly passed through his vision, transmitted to his brain, which had not functioned for an unknown amount of time, and processed and colored everything he saw into an image.

When the image is formed, the cycle of death and resurrection is finally broken.

Everything in front of you is a sight that gives people more weight and powerlessness.

Countless huge gears in the sky, rusted and motionless, as if they had not been repaired for a long time and had lost power.

Countless black, tiny fine dust fell in the air like snowflakes.

In the distance, there is a dilapidated and dilapidated building that reaches to the sky, like a pillar that supports this piece of heaven and earth, standing there with great vigour.

Eventually, his gaze rested on a man dressed in green, with gray hair and a goatee hanging down to his chest. His face was wrinkled and his eyes were closed, as if he were sleeping or contemplating. With your hands behind your back, you stand in the distance with your waist straight. Two swords pinned to his waist, and a ghostly white object floated over his shoulder.

After Ma Cangye saw it clearly, he immediately understood that the reincarnation of death and resurrection he had just had just exuded was just the coercion exuded by the old man in the distance. Whether it is an instinctive release or an unconscious release, it is unknown to Ma Cangye.

Looking around, I found that this was not the so-called dimensional sea, and I came to this place for some unknown reason.

The old man in front of him definitely didn't help himself to bring himself here. He should be behind the whole thing, or something special with the other party.

Asakura Ye thought about it in place for a while, originally planning to shout loudly in place, but when he remembered that the other party was just using coercion, he could let himself be reincarnated from death and resurrection. The gap in strength, the other party really intends to kill himself, then he can't escape at all. Not to mention, even if they are killed here, they will only be resurrected immediately.

Having figured it out, he took his own steps, and he entered the cycle of death and resurrection again. I don't know how many times he has been reincarnated, and he relied on his own strength to resist the brutal and unreasonable coercion.

The recovered Asakura leaf took a deep breath several times, seeing that the other party had no intention of opening his eyes or talking to himself. Asakura knew that he was afraid that he would have to go in front of him and go through the 'test' he gave, otherwise he would not be expected to take the initiative to communicate with him.

Like a child's gamble, stand in place and see who consumes the energy to the end.

Asakura Ye also thought about it, but as soon as this idea came to his mind, he threw it away. Because the other party didn't care about himself at all, maybe he didn't care how much time he wasted.

But he was different, he had a bunch of doubts, and a hint of worry, that places could use the night sky to threaten themselves, which meant that they could use other people to force themselves to compromise. The weak who have no strength can only accept the handouts of the strong, which is also the truth he has always believed.

Continuing to move forward, it was still the same as before, the cycle of death and resurrection continued to be repeated, as if to test his patience and will.

Every time he could resist the coercion of the other party, but every time he took a step closer to the old man, a more powerful and brutal coercion than the last time immediately attacked him, once again plunging him into the cycle of death and resurrection.

Finally, after I don't know how many times of reincarnation, Asakura Ye finally came to the old man.

After the old man came to him, he broke open his eyes that had been closed, and looked at the Macang leaf who had just experienced reincarnation with deep eyes, and a smile of relief rose at the corner of his mouth.
