Chapter 701: Transmigration

"Once it successfully revives, all of us will die, and this world will be destroyed."

The little star spirit knew well that no Solar Star Spirit would like the environment of the Manghuang Realm. Their king was no exception. If it could awaken, it would inevitably transform the world into a place filled with light and heat.

"...So, what can you give me? A magical girl transformation?" Qing Zixin had long passed the hot-blooded middle school phase where two simple words of persuasion would fill her mind with thoughts of saving the world.

Now, she only cared about one thing: what this star spirit living in her mind could bring.

As for magical girls, that was apparently a film and television work brought over by the Divine Court from other worlds. The moment it appeared in the Manghuang Realm, it quickly captivated countless people here who lacked entertainment.

As for world destruction, let the tall ones bear the sky if it falls. The Divine Court hadn't even spoken yet, so there was no need for her to worry needlessly.

"..."

The conversation couldn't continue.

...

So he closed his eyes and dozed for a bit, then let out a soft sigh.

Huo Dao Ran wasn't dead.

So, what was the situation now?

To his left, there seemed to be an iceberg, and he was leaning against a rock.

Wait, an iceberg?!

He looked down at himself again. These weren't his clothes!

Beneath the clothes were two pale hands.

There weren't any bullet holes?

He distinctly remembered that in his final moments, countless bullets had been flying towards him...

"Husband?"

A beautiful voice pulled him back to reality.

"..."

"This is my new body's wife?" From the address and some hazy memories, he confirmed the answer.

"At least she's not a tank," the man murmured, glancing at Qing Zixin, who was looking down at him. He let out a slight sigh of relief. "At least an eight out of ten."

Although he was just a fake husband, he certainly didn't want to "drive a tank" or "be driven by a tank." He was, without a doubt, a devotee of beauty.

"But why does she have several blood-red tally marks on her leg... and dressed like this?" The man's mind drifted to some rather unsettling implications.

In his previous life, he had been obsessed with money and power, naturally encountering many dark sides of human nature. Looking at Qing Zixin, whose magic robes had been stripped, leaving her only in a tight-fitting garment, his thoughts wandered to who knew where.

"My head's still a bit dizzy," he mumbled, mimicking the tone from his memories.

The young woman, also slowly coming to terms with reality, didn't pay much attention to her cheap husband's reaction. She had her own worries.

Out of nowhere, a life form calling itself a star spirit had appeared, now bound to her soul, achieving a true state of shared life and death.

"Don't think about that fox spirit anymore."

"Mm." The transmigrator, unsure how best to reply, could only offer a universal response based on instinct—a slight nod.

...

"This is a truly gender-equal world. The power gained through cultivation isn't limited by gender; both men and women have equal opportunities to become world-destroying powerhouses.

As long as one is strong enough, polygyny and polyandry are commonplace. Even polyandry with multiple husbands or polygyny with multiple wives won't invite gossip.

And I, Huo Dao Ran, or rather, my previous self, was a good-for-nothing who married into his wife's family ten years ago and was still stuck at the first tier..."

After sorting through the memories of his predecessor, Huo Dao Ran let out a soft sigh.

In his previous life, he had dominated the business world, resorting to unscrupulous means to climb to the top. In the end, he was betrayed by all, abandoned by loved ones, and died under countless gun barrels. Who would have thought that after rebirth, he would transmigrate into a salted fish with no ambition, only knowing how to muddle through life and wait for death.

Wait, muddling through life and waiting for death... didn't seem so bad after all?

The outcome of being abandoned by all in his previous life had truly disheartened Huo Dao Ran, leaving him with no desire to climb higher.

"Let's go."

Qing Zixin, also laden with a myriad of thoughts, gently patted her husband, who was lost in contemplation of the future.

By now, the inheritance had concluded, and everyone had been teleported outside the iceberg.

The iceberg, located at the core of the secret realm, slowly began to melt under the sunlight.

Yet, not a single drop of water was seen flowing to the foot of the mountain.

They were evaporated halfway by the scorching sun.

"Reincarnation Game?"

Only when all the dust had settled did the adventurers recall the words spoken by that voice.

"What Reincarnation Game? Nothing at all happened."

They only knew that they had gained power, a power that was real and tangible.

...

"Little fellow, speaking of which, do you know the owner of that voice?"

On the way back, Qing Zixin tried asking.

"Great Dark Heaven! The Reincarnation Game was set up by him!" When that name was mentioned, the little star spirit grew a little uneasy.

"Also, I have a name! I'm called Entropy!"

"I see, it seems the Reincarnation Game has been ongoing all this time." The young woman finally understood everything. The so-called Reincarnation Game wasn't about her group entering reincarnation at all; it was about the reincarnation of Wang Yi, as mentioned by Entropy.

Those who absorbed that power established a connection with Yi. One of them would eventually become the vessel for Yi's rebirth.

Of course, there was another outcome: Yi would never awaken... and they would have simply gained Yi's power for free.

"Great Dark Heaven..." Qing Zixin mumbled the name. She knew at once it wasn't his true name. "When the sky falls, let the tall ones bear it. The affairs of important figures are for important figures to worry about; there's no need for a mere daughter of a noble family like me to concern herself."

"It'd be best if that fox spirit got possessed!

No, wait, if she gets possessed, won't I definitely be unable to defeat her?

But if she doesn't get possessed, then I'll have really hit the jackpot this time.

No matter how I think about it, I'm always at a loss..."

...

"The channel for traversing spatial layers still needs improvement. The disturbances it creates are causing more and more transmigrators from other spatial layers to appear."

Bai Mo's gaze spanned across planes, settling on the continuously melting iceberg.

He discovered that the cross-plane channel he had designed seemed to have a not-so-minor side effect: the increasing number of transmigrators generated by the spatial disturbances.

The souls of most transmigrators would dissipate during the process of traversing the spatial gaps. Only a fortunate few could successfully complete the transmigration and reach another world.

Then they would have to face a second challenge: possession.

Some unlucky individuals would be "eaten back" by the native beings serving as their vessels, becoming fodder for the latter. The typical example was the little star spirit, Entropy.

Initially, it was as muddled and confused as other low-tier star spirits of its kind, acting almost entirely on instinct, not much different from a common animal.

But one day, it suddenly "woke up," becoming far more intelligent than its peers. This was the result of unintentionally consuming the soul of a transmigrator.

As for Huo Dao Ran, he was a lucky soul among lucky souls, successfully surviving the deathly passage through the spatial gaps, and then successfully reincarnating into a native body..
