319: Fifth Incarnation: Heavenly Physician (111)
[Evaluation Rank: Grade A-!]
[attribute points Gained: 100,000 (Cultivation Realm * Evaluation Rank)]
Lines of text flowed by, summarizing his magnificent life from a Su Family Prodigy to mending the heavens with his own body.
However, Xu Yuan's gaze merely swept over them calmly, his heart unperturbed. Success, failure, glory, and disgrace were all in the past; what he cared more about now was the... new change brought about by the completion of the imprint.
His consciousness, like the most precise probe, delved deep into the core of the Samsara Imprint, which was now perfect and radiated an eternal Concept.
In an instant, a massive amount of information flooded his mind. These were methods for a deeper application of the authority of Reincarnation, far exceeding the simple Reincarnation he had previously performed using instinct and a fragmented imprint.
Among them, the one that shook his Soul and made his eyes light up was a brand new, Heaven-Defying ability—
Myriad Incarnations, Simultaneous Reincarnation!
This was not a simple Divine Thought Clone or an illusory manifestation, but... a limited "splitting" and "duplication" of his own completed true spirit Origin. Each part would carry a projection of an independent "Samsara Imprint," cast into this world like seeds for simultaneous Reincarnation!
Every Incarnation would be a real "Xu Yuan," with an independent growth trajectory, life experience, and choice of Dao path!
They would experience birth, aging, illness, death, love, hatred, and Cultivation in their respective worlds!
As the original body, Xu Yuan could use the core authority of the Samsara Imprint to vaguely sense the existence, status, and general fate of these Incarnations. When necessary, he could perform a certain degree of "intervention" or "information synchronization"!
Even more Heaven-Defying was that when an Incarnation perished in its respective Reincarnation or reached a certain Realm, its accumulated "life experience," "Dao insights," and even "partial cultivation Origin" could be fed back to the original body through the connection of the Samsara Imprint!
In turn, the original body's latest comprehension of Reincarnation and the Great Dao could be "shared" with the Incarnations to aid their growth!
This was essentially... opening countless "alt accounts" that could synchronize cultivation and share experience!
"So that's it... is this one of the true uses of a complete Samsara Imprint?"
Waves of shock surged in Xu Yuan's heart. "No longer passively dying and restarting time after time, but actively... laying out a plan for this world!"
Of course, this technique also had its limitations and risks.
Splitting Incarnations would consume the original body's true spirit Origin, and each Incarnation's attributes would require separate attribute points. Furthermore, the number of splits was related to the depth of Xu Yuan's control over the Samsara Imprint.
Shock filled Xu Yuan's heart, but after the initial ecstasy, he quickly calmed down. As his consciousness sensed deeper, he immediately noticed the limitations of this Heaven-Defying ability.
"Splitting Incarnations is not without cost. To condense each 'true spirit Incarnation' that possesses an independent Reincarnation trajectory and can provide feedback to the original body, I must cut away a portion of my own true spirit and bestow upon it a 'projection' of the Samsara Imprint."
Xu Yuan carefully contemplated the profound mysteries within.
"With my current degree of control over the perfected imprint and my understanding of the power of Reincarnation... at most, I can only maintain two such Incarnations in the world simultaneously. It also requires significant mental effort for vague sensing and maintaining the connection. If I force a third split, not only will the quality of the Incarnations drop drastically and the feedback effect diminish sharply, but it could also destabilize my original true spirit Foundation and even cause the Samsara Imprint to become unstable."
"Two... it's a far cry from the so-called 'Myriad Incarnations, Laying Out the Heavens.' But... it's enough!"
A sharp light burst from Xu Yuan's eyes. Instead of disappointment, he felt a stronger fighting spirit and a sense of calculation!
"Especially in the current situation, if two Incarnations can be used properly, their strategic value is... infinite!"
Sure enough, in the next moment, words appeared on the panel again.
[Congratulations to the Host for opening the Path of Humanity. Would you like to consume 10,000 attribute points to condense the Heavenly Mandate of the Human Dao?]
[After condensing the Heavenly Mandate of the Human Dao, you will be the Lord of Humanity. No one can occupy the Path of Humanity except for those chosen by the Mandate.]
[Note: Once the Mandate is bestowed, it cannot be reclaimed.]
"As expected!"
Xu Yuan was pleasantly surprised. Just as he could condense the Overlord Fate when he attained the Overlord Golden Core in his previous life, opening the Path of Humanity in this life allowed him to condense the Heavenly Mandate of the Human Dao.
Although the Heavenly Mandate of the Human Dao required a massive amount of attribute points and could not be reclaimed once bestowed.
But so what?
With a thought, 10,000 attribute points were instantly deducted!
A vast and majestic Luck, containing supreme truths such as "Order," "contract," "mutual aid," "civilization," and "hope," gathered from the deep Void Realm. It merged into his completed Samsara Imprint and finally transformed into a golden, radiant phantom of a Mandate Decree, seemingly woven from countless fine Daoist runes, hovering deep within the core of the imprint! It was none other than—the Heavenly Mandate of the Human Dao!
The holder of this Mandate would be favored by the "Path of Humanity" and was the heaven-ordained candidate for the "Lord of Humanity"!
Cultivating Cultivation Techniques related to the Path of Humanity would yield twice the result with half the effort. It would be easier to draw upon the Power Of Will of all living beings and the Luck of civilization. One's affinity for the Law of "Order" would reach the extreme, and one could even evade or weaken the suppression of other Great Daos on the "Path of Humanity" to a certain extent!
More importantly, once this Mandate was applied, it would be bound to the Soul. Unless the Mandate holder completely perished, it would be extremely difficult for others to seize or imitate the essence of their Path of Humanity!
"With this, cultivating the 'Path of Humanity' will be like adding wings to a tiger!"
Feeling the vast power contained within that Mandate Decree, Xu Yuan felt greatly reassured.
This would undoubtedly greatly accelerate the growth of the Incarnations and shorten the "Gu cultivation" cycle!
His mind raced, and in an instant, he perfectly combined this newly acquired ability with the power of "Incarnation," conceiving the most daring and ruthless tactic!
"I will sever an Incarnation to carry a portion of my true spirit Origin and a projection of the Samsara Imprint, and bestow this 'Heavenly Mandate of the Human Dao' upon him! Let him be born in a suitable era and location, naturally possessing an affinity for the Order of the 'Path of Humanity,' and logically embarking on the path of opening and practicing the 'Path of Humanity'!"
"And the ultimate purpose of this Incarnation's existence is not to achieve the Dao or longevity, but... to serve as the most lethal bait and bomb!"
Xu Yuan's eyes were as cold as ten-thousand-year-old ice, his heart boiling with killing intent:
"Let him grow rapidly, displaying astonishing talent and potential for the 'Path of Humanity.' I will even deliberately leak a trace of an aura or Dao Rhyme similar to Su Yuan's to attract the attention of those ancient Dao Lords who are obsessed with the 'source of the new dao,' especially those who are severely suffering from dao transformation and are desperate to find resources to extend their lives!"
"When he grows to a level enough to attract the attention of a Dao Lord, my original body can secretly fuel the flames and even actively create opportunities for this Incarnation to 'happen' to be exposed to the sight of one or more Dao Lords!"
"At that time, those old monsters will surely swarm over like sharks smelling blood! They will see this Incarnation as a backup plan left by Su Yuan, a new and perhaps more easily obtainable 'Humanity Dao Fruit'! They will try to capture, study, and devour him!"
"And at the moment they are smug and think victory is in their grasp..."
"I will have this Incarnation emulate the grand feat of this world and perform that... act of mutual destruction, Dao-Usurpation to Mend the Heavens!"
