Qing Long said, "To be precise, it was a human in its previous life."
"Wait." Chen Nan quickly said, "You mean it reincarnated with its past life memories and became a cat?"
Qing Long's voice was very weak, "The Heavenly Court collapsed, and order was chaotic."
"It wasn't just the Heavenly Court that was damaged."
"Even the Underworld was affected."
"The Six Paths of Reincarnation fell apart and scattered elsewhere."
"You, because you saved all beings, gained merit, and thus gained recognition from the Human Path, and mastered the Human Path."
"Then why can't others master the other five Reincarnation Paths?"
Chen Nan quickly said, "You must have seen the current situation, right? Many people reincarnate with their past life memories after death. What should be done about this situation?"
"Will this affect the balance of yin and yang?"
Qing Long countered, "Do you know why your cultivation is suppressed?"
Chen Nan frowned, "Isn't it because of the Nine Cauldrons gathering?"
Qing Long chuckled, "You have conquered the rules of the Heavenly Dao before, and you are the Lord of the Immortal Realm. Even if the Nine Cauldrons gather, it will not affect you."
Chen Nan gulped, "So, this has something to do with those deceased people reincarnating with their past life memories?"
Qing Long: "Yes!"
"The existence of those people has seriously affected the balance of yin and yang."
"If the balance of yin and yang cannot be restored soon, in at most a hundred years, the Three Realms will return to chaos."
"To put it simply."
"Within a hundred years, the Three Realms will explode!"
Chen Nan's skin crawled, "Brother Long, don't scare me. Will the imbalance of yin and yang really lead to such a severe situation?"
Qing Long sighed, "When chaos first opened, pure yang became heaven and turbid yin became earth; this is yin and yang."
"Yin and yang give birth to the five elements, and the five elements create all things."
"This is an eternal and unchanging law."
"Now, yin and yang are out of balance."
"If yin and yang cannot be restored to peace, the billions of living beings in the Three Realms will turn to dust."
"Enjoy this brief moment of time."
"This catastrophe, you... cannot stop it!"
Speaking of this,
A hint of bitterness appeared in his voice, "I finally understand now why the异魔 (Yi Mo) invaded the Heavenly Court back then. Their goal was not just to conquer the Heavenly Court."
"They wanted to disrupt the balance of yin and yang in the Three Realms."
"Even the ancient sages and Dao ancestors didn't foresee this, did they?"
Qing Long's mood was complex.
He originally thought Chen Nan could rebuild the Heavenly Court.
However,
The Yi Mo's goal was not just to destroy the Heavenly Court.
They wanted to destroy the Three Realms at their very foundation.
And now.
Their goal was about to be realized.
Even Chen Nan couldn't change the current situation.
"Is there really no way to stop it?" Chen Nan clenched his fists, his face full of unwillingness.
Billions of living beings in the Three Realms!
As the master of the Immortal Realm,
He couldn't bear to see so many brothers and friends in the Immortal Realm turn to dust.
Even less could he bear to see his family, lovers, and children die.
Qing Long said, "You can open the window and let this狸猫 (li mao) in, and find out who it reincarnated through, and who controls the Animal Path, and then take it back."
"Okay."
Chen Nan tried his best to calm his emotions, then walked to the window and opened it, revealing a gap.
The狸猫 showed a look of vigilance.
After hesitating for a moment.
It finally squeezed in.
Chen Nan asked, "Did you feel me opening the reincarnation before, that's why you've been following me?"
The狸猫 nodded.
Chen Nan then asked, "Are you very distressed about currently living in the body of a狸猫?"
The狸猫 continued to nod.
However,
A fierce look appeared in its eyes.
Chen Nan said, "I don't know who sent you into the Animal Path, but I control the Human Path. If you want to reincarnate as a human, I can help you."
The狸猫 nodded eagerly.
It had had enough of its current life.
Rather than be a cat, it would be better to die.
Chen Nan then said, "Therefore, I need to extinguish the life force of your current body."
The狸猫 bared its teeth.
It leaped high,
And slammed into the wall.
Blood splattered on the spot.
This scene startled Ye Wan Zhi, and she let out a scream.
She hadn't expected this狸猫 to be so ruthless.
Just as the狸猫 died,
Chen Nan also saw the soul of a middle-aged man.
He knelt on the ground, tears streaming down his face, "Please, immortal, send me to reincarnate."
"Don't cry yet." Chen Nan said, "Tell me what happened to you, for example, who sent you to reincarnate."
"Reporting to the immortal, my name is Li Zhen Qing. In my previous life, I was a farmer." Li Zhen Qing said with a pained expression, "I encountered a car accident while going to the market. I was in the hospital for three days but couldn't be saved."
"Then I became a ghost."
"I thought I would go to reincarnate."
"But I wandered the human world for several days, and didn't know where to reincarnate."
"At this time, I met a middle-aged man named Fei Yao."
"He claimed to be a Yin Messenger stationed in the human world, and he could send me to reincarnate, and even let me be born into a wealthy family."
"I believed him."
"Then he opened the gate of reincarnation."
"And so I became a狸猫."
Chen Nan asked, "Where did you meet Fei Yao?"
"Do you remember what he looked like?"
"I met Fei Yao in Jinmen." Li Zhen Qing recalled, "That guy looked to be in his forties, wearing a white Taoist robe, and his face was very dark, just like Bao Zheng."
"He gave the impression of a Taoist priest wandering the world."
Chen Nan nodded slightly, memorizing Fei Yao's appearance, then bowed deeply to Li Zhen Qing, "Uncle Li, I, Chen Nan, have never done anything against my conscience in my life, nor have I owed anyone anything. But today, I can only say I am sorry."
"I have to break my promise."
"What do you mean?" Li Zhen Qing's eyes were full of anger, "Young man, you can't do this. You promised to send me to reincarnate, why are you being untrustworthy?"
Chen Nan said, "Yin and yang are out of balance, and the Three Realms are about to return to chaos. Everyone will die then. If I send you to reincarnate, it will accelerate the return of the Three Realms to chaos."
"Therefore, I have to betray you."
Speaking of this,
His soul power surged out,
It transformed into a sword and directly annihilated Li Zhen Qing.
"Actually, you didn't have to do this." Qing Long said, "The situation is already decided. Even if you send him to reincarnate, it won't have much impact. It's just that there will be one more reborn person in the world."
Chen Nan said distractedly, "What you said is true, but every little bit adds up!"
"It is precisely these reborn individuals with their past life memories that are breaking the balance of yin and yang, and leading the Three Realms to a catastrophe."
He paused and said, "Grandpa Long, I want to take a gamble."
"Gamble for my loved ones."
"Gamble for the billions of living beings in the Three Realms."
Qing Long hesitated for a moment, his tone becoming serious, "There is a way, but the chance of success is one in ten thousand."
"If you fail, you will die immediately, and you won't even be able to say goodbye to your loved ones."
"Are you sure you still want to take this gamble?"
