"Wonderful, truly wonderful."
Gu Chuan couldn't help but marvel.
At this moment, he saw countless souls traveling through the Samsara channel toward the Six Paths, each one merging into the matrix of life.
Simultaneously, countless beings were dying, entering the Hell Path through the Serpent Path of the Underworld.
This cycle of Samsara, of life and death, contained endless mysteries.
Although this was only a world of the Six Paths, it had granted him a tremendous realization.
In that instant, Gu Chuan thought of the entire universe. In truth, the universe followed the same principle: birth, growth, expansion, peak, decline, destruction, and rebirth from the ashes.
The universe, too, undergoes Samsara again and again. Countless lives cannot escape the grasp of this cosmic cycle.
Only powerhouses at the level of a Lord of the Universe can evade the power of universal Samsara, hiding deep within the folds of an era and using the opportunity to repeatedly devour the energy of the universal cycle.
"The reincarnation of the dead will strengthen the Prehistoric World, the Heavens, and the Myriad Worlds. No, even the entire Chaos Universe will be empowered, giving birth to countless powerful beings."
There was a gleam in Gu Chuan's eyes.
Some believed that the emergence of the Six Paths of Reincarnation was a misfortune—that it imprisoned all sentient beings.
Because all life was trapped in Samsara. After death, they would be reborn, reincarnated—thus the number of lives in the world remained balanced.
From beginning to end, the total number of lives across countless races stayed the same—neither increasing nor decreasing. If that were the case, wouldn't the number of lives in this world remain forever stagnant?
What value would a world like that have—a world where the number of living beings never grows?
In truth, that notion was flawed from the beginning.
First of all, not every being becomes a ghost after death.
One must know that only those with a certain level of talent, strong soul, and sufficient cultivation base can transform into evil spirits after death.
If a mortal dies, their soul collapses in an instant, returning to the origin of heaven and earth—they will definitely not become ghosts.
This is also why, in Gu Chuan's previous life, during the Dharma-ending era when Spiritual Qi collapsed, no one could cultivate. Monsters, gods, and other transcendent beings vanished.
Without cultivation, human souls became weak and ordinary. Even in death, they wouldn't turn into ghosts, but would simply dissipate and return to nature.
Thus, in that era, evil spirits disappeared. Ghosts and monsters became nothing more than legends, never to appear again.
The same principle applies.
In the world of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, among countless newly born lives, only a small portion are truly reincarnated. Most are naturally conceived without any past life—existing only in this life.
"The Six Paths of Reincarnation is a mechanism for cultivating the strong."
Gu Chuan clenched his fist, understanding the profound nature of the system.
In fact, the evil spirits that appear in the Underworld are beings of exceptional talent from the Heavens and the Myriad Worlds—at the very least, they possess strong enough souls to become evil spirits.
Once these evil spirits enter the Six Paths, their true spirits merge with the cycle, becoming a part of it.
As they experience Samsara again and again, their unique soul talent continuously grows.
You must understand, true top-tier talent is exceedingly rare.
Even among Chaos Demon Gods, those with extreme talent are the minority.
But now, it's different. As long as one enters the Six Paths and undergoes countless Samsaras, their soul talent will grow stronger and stronger—eventually evolving into top-level talent.
For example, a creature might possess the power of fire. Initially, they may only be able to ignite a small flame on their fingertips—too weak to even burn grass.
But through repeated tempering via Samsara, their mastery of fire may grow to the point where they wield Chaos Flame capable of incinerating worlds.
Or a creature might be born with the power to make others kneel. Initially, they can only make ants or other weak beings bow.
But after hundreds of millions of cycles of Samsara, this power may become terrifying—so much so that even a Saint might kneel involuntarily, as if compelled by law.
In truth, every talent is precious. No matter how weak, when refined to the extreme, it can become a force equal to the laws of the universe.
One could say the Six Paths of Reincarnation is a supreme system designed to continuously cultivate the strong.
Over time, countless superpowers will emerge throughout the Heavens and the Myriad Worlds, and the Chaos Universe will give birth to countless gods.
This is why the origin of the Chaos Universe bestowed so many merits upon Gu Chuan. The power of the Six Paths of Reincarnation is priceless and will accelerate the evolution of the universe.
Of course, not every being can evolve their talent. Many fall into Samsara, unable to improve, and remain mediocre.
But that doesn't matter. This is the natural selection of the strong—the great wave washes away the sand. As long as a few geniuses emerge, it's enough. Powerhouse quality matters more than quantity.
"The Six Paths of Reincarnation will also be a super war Magic Treasure, even a Universe Secret Treasure."
A glint appeared in Gu Chuan's eyes.
He could sense the limitless potential of the Six Paths of Reincarnation. It was a super Magic Treasure, capable of clashing with other universes.
After all, the true spirits of countless strong individuals had merged into it. Even in death, they would be reborn again within the Six Paths.
In other words, they had become immortal.
It was akin to the Gods on the Conferred Gods List, or the Demon Gods on the Demon Banner—their true spirits bound to a Magic Treasure, able to be reborn endlessly.
If these powerhouses were dispatched to wage war in other universes, how could their opponents defeat such immortal entities?
Even if those universes managed to wipe out many of them at great cost, they would soon be reborn—returning to battle anew.
Facing such a force, the enemies' morale would crumble. How could they even fight?
From the start, Gu Chuan would be invincible.
If the Six Paths of Reincarnation could be used to cultivate one god after another, they would be unmatched across the Origin Continent, able to conquer and expand endlessly.
"It seems that the Magic Treasure of the Six Paths of Reincarnation truly holds limitless potential. It must be cultivated properly."
Gu Chuan stroked his chin thoughtfully.
