Chapter 380
The orders from Command were urgent, which showed how much they valued both the Qianyuan Realm and the remnants of the Third Season. They were unwilling to waste even a moment.
The Crystal Wall System was paralyzed, and the one in the Divine Realm remained in deep slumber. This meant that the Qianyuan Realm was now unguarded — the most ideal state for reincarnation.
Reincarnation units weren’t an issue either.
Adam and his four companions had already taken full control of five mortal realms within Qianyuan. It was easy to find countless suitable vessels for reincarnation. As for the race to choose, humans were the best option: the most numerous, and the simplest for reincarnation.
After receiving Command’s response, the other four immediately returned to their respective mortal realms to prepare for the arrival of reinforcements.
External energy continued to pour in. According to the real-time records of their personal chips, the saturation point would be reached in ten hours of Qianyuan time.
At that moment, out in the distant void, a total of one hundred and sixty-five high-level mages cast the Reincarnation Spell. In information-form, they merged into the energy currents and hurtled rapidly toward the Qianyuan Realm.
One hundred and fifty Fourth-Circle Mages would be evenly distributed across the five mortal realms. Each realm would also receive three Transdimensional Mages, including one mage from the Third Holy Tower. This collective reincarnation would be personally overseen by five Third Holy Tower Mages to ensure nothing could go wrong.
Five hours later, fifty-three of the nearly one thousand prepared vessels suddenly stiffened at once. Adam waved his hand, ordering the forest elves to remove the now-useless vessels, and then patiently waited for reincarnation to complete.
An hour later, a batch of newborns was delivered. The vessels had not died but instead fell into a coma. The forest elves immediately carried these newborns to the Vital Energy Filtration Array.
This was the place with the highest concentration of qi in the mortal realm — perfect for Opening the Origin and laying Foundations.
The cultivation method chosen had been modified by Adam to allow direct advancement to the Fourth Level. The Opening-Origin elixir was the panda clan’s Origin Wine.
The fifty-three newborns were thrown directly into massive barrels of Origin Wine to soak. The transmission of the cultivation method was handled by Garfield.
For mages, Opening the Origin posed no difficulty. Within minutes, dozens of qi vortices emerged and merged, their powerful suction cutting off the transmission channel to the upper realms.
Adam began pouring in high-grade elixirs and plundered martial cores without restraint, providing maximum support for the mages’ early growth so that they could form combat strength as quickly as possible and facilitate the next phase of the plan.
Adam spared nothing. In the preceding period, he had plundered every qi-bearing resource in the realm precisely for this moment.
After some time, all resources were depleted. This batch of mage-reincarnated human infants bypassed natural growth and appeared collectively around ten years of age. Their energy levels were mostly that of Second-Rank martial artists, with only three reaching the Third Rank.
The Transdimensional Mages’ reincarnated bodies were the first to awaken. They climbed out of the barrels, accepted clothing from nearby slaves, and nodded politely to Adam before waiting together for the others to finish absorbing their energies.
The Fourth-Circle Mages awoke one by one over the next day. Compared to the Transdimensional Mages, their strength was weaker, and their adjustment to the new system took a little longer.
Through their personal chips, Adam shared all the intelligence he and the others had gathered to bring them up to speed on the mission. The leading mages then ordered their subordinates to adapt to their new bodies while they themselves went to Adam’s chambers.
After introductions, the Transdimensional Mage Timothy of the Third Holy Tower said:
“Command has approved your plan and appointed you as interim frontline commander, with full authority to execute the plan. All of us, myself included, will follow your orders unconditionally.
But are you truly confident? Remember, every remnant plane is precious. According to your proposal, this one will be destroyed.”
Adam replied:
“According to past practice with remnant planes, we protect the inheritance of the martial system. But I’ve realized that this is only to make it easier for us to study the system and search for weaknesses.
From my observation, even with a time ratio of one to a hundred, their cultivation methods show no significant evolution or change. Their development has stagnated. In truth, the core lies only at the very top — in that singular being.
It’s not that lower-level techniques are useless, but their impact is limited. I believe we’ve already collected many similar methods from other remnant planes.”
Timothy nodded.
“Exactly. Since they don’t improve their methods, we can help them improve — and from those altered methods, find opportunities to backtrack the true core.
You’ve all seen the plan. That being in the Divine Realm remains asleep. This period is our best chance to invade and plunder the Qianyuan Realm.
Once we’ve overturned the Qianyuan Realm, we’ll face the top-tier being itself.
This is a guaranteed-profitable gamble. The only question is whether we can maximize the gains. Capturing him alive is ideal. At the very least, we must seize his martial core.”
Timothy added:
“To coordinate with your plan, four True Spirits have already locked this space. But the chance of capturing alive remains low, which is why High Command has focused more on ensuring preservation of the martial core. This time, the True Spirit Grand Mage Laura will personally intervene.”
Thanks to Adam’s flawless record — every plan he had devised, every project he had led, had proven valuable — the Mage Council placed great trust in him. They must have studied this new plan carefully and seen its potential before granting such vast authority and support.
Even though his projections showed nothing could go wrong, Adam still felt pressure. Failure was not an option. Building credibility took years, but losing it required only once.
Five years later, by Qianyuan Realm’s time, all the mages who had reincarnated had advanced to Fourth-Rank martial artists. This drained the latest wave of energy injected into the mortal realms, yet the Crystal Wall System had not reopened.
This further confirmed Adam’s theory: only when heavenly energy and high-level martial artists were devoured by the Divine Realm being did a cycle count as complete.
The mages gathered in the five central cities. After five years, Adam and his companions reopened the ascension channels.
Next came the trial of breaking through the levels: the mages had to fight their way through three successive upper realms, cutting off energy transmission completely before the next Great Tribulation in a hundred years.
The guardians of the Martial Realm, first shocked and then elated, roared thunderously:
“The channels have reopened! Gather the elites — descend together and crush the rebels!”
“Array Masters of the Alliance, widen the channels immediately!”
“All Qianyuan mortals who rebel, along with their races — kill them all, leave none alive!”
