I can't live forever, so I have to reincarnate infinitely

Chapter 831 The last resort
Ten thousand years before the fall of heaven.

Du Youqian stood in front of a huge bronze mirror, allowing the pretty palace maid to help him put on an elaborate dress.

He had a blank expression on his face, his eyes were calm and deep, and he had a kind of aura of majesty without being angry.

The maid moved cautiously, afraid of disturbing his thoughts.

Du Youqian was communicating with the Samsara Mirror in his sea of ​​consciousness.

"In this life, I want to try the path of a human immortal first, and experience the differences between a human immortal and a celestial immortal. Do you think this is feasible?"

In the huge bronze mirror, Du Youqian's reflection smiled slightly, "Nothing is impossible. You can keep going back and changing it. Previously, you achieved enlightenment through the path of a celestial immortal. Now it's not a bad idea to experience the path of a human immortal or an earthly immortal."

From the maid's perspective, the figure in the mirror was no different.

Of course, even if they discovered something unusual, they would only think that the prince was trying some secret technique, and would never dare to gossip about it.

Du Youqian recalled the end of his previous life, "It turns out that the three ninth-level true immortals in the fairy world are still alive."

"But the conditions of two of them are very bad. It is estimated that something went wrong during the battle to seal the Demon Lord. If time drags on and more Demon Lords revive, they may not be able to continue to suppress the Demon Lord."

"If another ninth-order person appears on the Demon Sect side, the situation in the Immortal Realm will be even more difficult," Du Youqian analyzed. "Fortunately, given the Demon Lord's current situation, he probably won't dare to allow another ninth-order person to appear on the Demon Sect. If a true immortal from the Demon Sect really approaches the ninth-order, he will kill him himself without waiting for the immortals in the Immortal Realm to take action, and turn him into his nourishment to prevent the new ninth-order person from becoming a threat to him."

"It's good that you understand this. Even if you surrender to the Demon Lord, he will never give you room to grow and help you reach the ninth level before he is fully recovered and has complete confidence in dealing with you."

"I know that. You don't have to worry that I will surrender to him. My path is something I have walked step by step on my own. It is definitely not something that the Demon Lord or the Lord of the Celestial Realm can grant me."

The person in the mirror smiled with relief: "I am looking forward to going on with you and seeing how far you can go. But first, think about how to deal with the Demon Lord. Before you grow to the quasi-ninth level and are no longer weak, you must not go back to that era. If the Demon Lord sees you again and locks your soul, no one will be able to save you."

Du Youqian couldn't help but ask, "How can I make it so that I never feel weak again? I can't just cut off my past like that monkey did. It must be gifted to be able to do that. If I cut off my past, I wouldn't be who I am now."

The man in the mirror said, "Its path is wrong. It cuts off the past and the future. Don't learn from it."

"Then what should I do?"

"Become an immortal first. We'll talk about it after you become an immortal. Actually, there is another benefit to becoming an immortal with the power of humanity."

"What's the benefit?"

The man in the mirror smiled like a weasel that had just stolen a fat hen. "You are now the prince of Daxia. If you follow the path of humanity and become one with the Tao, you will be able to become the emperor of Daxia. By then, you can gather the power of the entire human world and get precious materials to upgrade the magic weapons you mainly use to the level of quasi-immortal weapons - at least in terms of materials. Then, you can spend a long time to nurture their spirituality and refine more great ways for them. When you are ready in the future and fight the Demon Lord, you may be able to gain a few immortal weapons."

"That's true," Du Youqian showed a rare hesitation on his face, "but, in my previous life as Prince Qian, I should be the great-grandson of this body in terms of blood relationship... Calculating the genealogy, I should be the direct great-grandson of one of my brothers. My father in that life is my cousin in this life. This... feels so confusing."

"What's the problem with a little confusion in the generations? No one said anything when a man became a woman or a woman became a man. Can't you see through it? There are countries with more than 60 kinds of genders, and they still exist well."

Du Youqian felt that this guy was talking incoherently and was not serious at all. He held back his smirk, simply because he wanted to laugh at himself.

"In any case, let's unite the Dao first and seize the throne of the Human Emperor."

Practicing the three techniques together again was already a piece of cake for Du Youqian.

In just seven hundred years, he had successfully achieved the Dao with the help of the power of humanity that the prince had shared with him.

Moreover, he is proficient in the "Yuchen Canghua Taiyuan Sword Sutra". His attainments in this sword technique are probably more profound than those of the founding emperor of Daxia, and he is even catching up with Yuchen Daojun who created this supreme sword scripture.

In addition, the Human Emperor Sword still retained a little memory about the future and had already surrendered to Du Youqian.

So it was no surprise that when Du Youqian secretly competed with the previous emperor and respectfully said, "Father, please abdicate. If you don't, I will help you abdicate," the previous emperor naturally chose to abdicate, entered the heaven and was canonized as an immortal, and Du Youqian became the emperor of Daxia.

~~~~~~~
During his reign, Du Youqian basically ignored government affairs and only imposed heavy taxes and plundered the country. Of course, because Daxia was vast and rich in resources, there was no public resentment due to Du Youqian's plunder.

After all, Du Youqian only plundered high-level materials and did not plunder ordinary people, and his methods were not cruel.

In terms of protecting the human race, we have done our best and acted when it was necessary.

Therefore, during Du Youqian's reign, Daxia was a prosperous country.

Thus, a thousand years passed quickly.

Du Youqian became an immortal.

Although it was his first attempt to become an immortal through the power of humanity, Du Youqian's progress was still very smooth.

If it wasn't for the purpose of collecting rare treasures from all over the world to strengthen a few spiritual magic weapons so that they have the potential to be upgraded to immortal weapons, it wouldn't have taken so much time.

"I want to know now, now that I am a human immortal, can I once again become a celestial immortal through the cave heaven?"

"You're thinking about Taozi." The Samsara Mirror said bluntly.

Du Youqian felt a little regretful. "The immortal of the human way does have infinite magical uses, and it has given me new insights into many great ways. But if we look at the ability to fight, it still has fatal flaws, unlike the immortal of heaven."

Du Youqian meant that if human immortals lost their human foundation, such as if the human race suffered a large number of casualties or was contaminated and corrupted by demonic energy, their combat effectiveness would decline rapidly.

On the other hand, celestial immortals and earthly immortals do not have this worry, as all great powers belong to themselves. Even if the human race perishes, it will not affect the freedom of celestial immortals and they can still be immortal.

The Samsara Mirror asked him, "Are you confused about the future?"

Du Youqian had nothing to hide. "It's just that I can't feel the direction of improvement. I don't have enough merit to advance to the next level. Even if I reincarnate many times, I can't be pushed to the ninth level."

“And if you reincarnate too many times, maybe the Demon Lord will get rid of the entanglement of the three ninth-level heavenly masters and come after you.” The Reincarnation Mirror expressed his subtext for him.

Du Youqian reluctantly admitted, "That's true. I've thought about it over and over again, but I can't find a perfect plan. Even if I use up all my merits and upgrade my spiritual magic weapons to the level of immortal weapons, I still can't be a match for the Demon Lord."

The Samsara Mirror said calmly, "Perhaps there is no such thing as a perfect plan. Even if you are the undisputed second person in the human world, you may still have a chance to surpass the Emperor of Heaven who created this world and become the number one person in the human world. But you are facing the most amazing and brilliant demon in history. You want a perfect plan? Unless you become a ninth-level person."

"But if I don't go to the fairyland, I won't be able to become a ninth-level person."

"That's right," said the Samsara Mirror, "and if you go to the fairyland, it will only make it easier for the Demon Lord to attack you."

"I'm stuck in a vicious circle." Even though Du Youqian was extremely determined, he couldn't help feeling a little frustrated at this moment.

After a long moment of silence, the Samsara Mirror said, "Actually, if it comes to a desperate situation, there is still a way."

"What method?" Du Youqian perked up.

The Samsara Mirror spoke slowly.

Du Youqian's expression changed from surprise to contemplation.

Finally he nodded slowly.

"If it comes to the worst, then so be it."
