Chapter 121: Creating the System Myself

"Area Echo: The echo formed by the events or concepts concentrated in a specific area, the limited capability to revise rules, and the smaller the coverage, the stronger the effect."

Yun Ye discovered that the Rebirth Book was quite impressive in some ways, as it not only revealed Fate but also showed information.

Without this piece of information, he would have likely taken many detours.

"The smaller the coverage, the stronger the effect?"

"Then I should maximize the enhancement of my own strength?"

According to the coverage, his own unit was certainly the smallest.

However, that wouldn’t work!

He had already tried this in his second life; directly enhancing strength required the most echoes!

Through experience, Yun Ye concluded two points.

First, the rules of the Dao artifact must be as fair as possible to minimize the required echoes.

Second, the rules are best with prerequisites—no "creating something out of nothing."

For example, the rule of the Supreme Ding is, "Anyone who defies the authority shall die."

One must defy authority for the Dao artifact to execute punishment; otherwise, even if he smashed the Supreme Ding, it would have no effect.

Aside from the true name effect, Dao artifacts do not possess the ability to harm.

The Ming Rihui Sword can do so because it inherently possesses the ability to cut through concepts.

Especially when facing powerful foes, even with little echo, he could sacrifice himself to deliver a killing strike.

But if it were to cut something else, the effectiveness wouldn’t be nearly as high.

In other words,

If Yun Ye wanted to revise the rules for himself, first, it must be fair and gain widespread recognition; second, it should set activation conditions— the harder the conditions, the fewer echoes required.

To be honest, after summarizing, a contrasting concept suddenly popped into Yun Ye’s mind.

This concept rapidly refined Yun Ye’s thoughts.

"First is fairness; to be precise, it must gain broad recognition. So, as long as I get recognized, it doesn’t matter if the rules only apply to me. In this case, the conditions for minimizing the activation range can also be met…"

"Now, let’s begin drafting."

"Assign the holder of the Ming Rihui Sword the duty to eliminate magical beasts, and for each magical beast killed, they can draw a portion of the magical beast’s power to strengthen themselves, thereby protecting others."

"Rule established successfully!"

"All area echoes allocated; practical adaptation begins."

"Adaptation complete."

"Second rule: The holder of the Ming Rihui Sword has the duty to eliminate magical beasts, and for each magical beast killed, they can draw a portion of the magical beast’s power to strengthen themselves. The further the distance when killing a magical beast, the smaller the increase in strength; the stronger the magical beast killed, the greater the enhancement."

"Panel unfolding…"

"Reborn: Yun Ye."

"Level: 1/10."

"Experience: 0/10."

"Qi Cultivation Technique: ?"

"Spirituality: ?"

"Physical Law: ?"

"Spirit Law: ?"

"Dao Sword: ?"

"Skills Points: 0."

What thoughts Yun Ye had in mind remained a mystery to others.

However, through the rules, he directly crafted a "level-up system."

The second rule matched all conditions, making the effect of the rules exceptionally powerful. With just eight area echoes, he created a rudimentary upgrade system.

The only downside was the limit of 10 levels, resulting in a small amount of power increase, which could only be considered better than nothing.

But, this was something achievable with eight area echoes, and as more echoes were gathered in the future, the upper limit would naturally rise.

Once enough echoes were collected, the restrictions on the Dao Sword’s holder could be lifted, allowing others to gain this panel and strengthen themselves.

If such a situation formed a positive cycle, the "recognition" would snowball and grow exponentially.

The strategy in Baishi Town of keeping all power in their hands was merely cutting off their own future, or… maybe they just didn’t realize how to use Dao artifacts?

Whichever it was, the current circumstances were favorable for Yun Ye.

"Now, should I use the last four talent enhancement opportunities on the Dao artifact?"

Yun Ye thought it over and ultimately decided against it.

The reason was straightforward: killing magical beasts required strength, and he first needed to have power to utilize the upgrade panel.

Instead of permanently giving the talent to the Dao artifact, it was better to gather echoes after reincarnation and level up slowly.

Talent enhancement opportunities were indeed meant to increase talent, which was the right path.

"First is physique… upgrade to D level!"

"Then is comprehension, C level!"

Physique enhances cultivation speed.

Comprehension improves Learning Ability and the creation of Spiritual Laws.

Even though Yun Ye casually researched Extreme Flame, it was merely a difference in understanding; there was fundamentally no technical complexity involved.

To truly invent a Spiritual Law requires a high talent for spirit patterns, which falls within the realm of comprehension.

In the end, Yun Ye’s talent panel was as follows.

◇

Reborn: Yun Ye

Area: ?

Lifespan: 97

Fate: E

Physique: D

Spirit Sense: C+

Comprehension: C

Spiritual Roots: B

Dao Artifact: E

Secret Realm: E

Strength: ?

Introduction: ?

Talent enhancement opportunities: 0.

◇

This time, Yun Ye reset his Fate to zero, not improving it at all.

There were two main reasons for this decision.

First, with the Secret Realm by his side and a wealth of knowledge from noble families, he no longer intended to pretend and go along with things.

Rebirth within a noble family to gain resources and knowledge?

It was meaningless!

Though the Secret Realm was small, the resources it provided were sufficient for him to grow steadily, so why risk being reborn into a noble family?

The second reason concerned Fate itself.

By raising his Fate to A level, Yun Ye could directly reborn into any family in Baishi Town, including the Ji family, as a direct descendant.

However, being reborn into a noble family was not something that could be done casually; it required time!

To simplify, children are not born every moment, even to an emperor.

The higher the status of the noble family, the fewer children are born. The rebirth place does not interfere with this natural law, so once confirmed, it would wait indefinitely for a child with a suitable Fate to be conceived.

It might take a few months or perhaps a year or two; it wasn’t particularly long. But Yun Ye did not want to waste even a moment, so he directly rejected the possibility of a high Fate.

Like the first time, after completing his points allocation, Yun Ye quietly thought for a long time in this rebirth place.

In his first life, he encountered too many hardships that deeply influenced his actions in his second life.

Suppression, pain, caution.

These were the hallmarks of his second life.

It was precisely because of this that he fought desperately at the age of eighteen, as the accumulated emotions had affected him too much.

From birth to the age of four, his serious illness in the second life might seem like just a passing detail to an observer.

But for Yun Ye, these were four tough years of real hunger and cold.

In the end, a serious illness pushed him to the brink of death.

Yun Ye was no great hero; his will was not that strong. Yet, he endured one hardship after another, forcefully igniting the Extreme Flame and creating a heavenly phenomenon.

These suppressed negative emotions had affected him greatly. Continuing like this, Yun Ye felt he might go mad, so he resolutely struck out in the Secret Realm, eliminating his two greatest enemies, Tong Yuan and Shi Baiyan.

This revenge was only a part of what he owed.

Yun Ye, due to his naivety and his lucky mindset, had caused the death of Cui Lian’s older brother.

But that wasn’t the essence of the matter. The real issue lay within this world; if not resolved, similar tragedies would happen countless times in the future.

Perhaps others would die after experiencing such a situation once, but that could hardly be helped.

But how many times could Yun Ye be reborn?

To go through this disgusting experience several times in each life, as a human being, even thinking about it made him shudder!

If he were to reincarnate many times and become desensitized to such situations, could he still be called a person?

So…

Simply for his own sake, the principles of tomorrow must also be fulfilled!

“In the rebirth place, all my negative emotions were purified, and all the dust on my soul was cleared away. As I enter the next life, my soul will truly be young, which may slightly weaken my endurance, but my creativity and energy will be very high…”

Yun Ye was summarizing.

He realized that rebirth was not just about enhancing talent; the hidden benefits were numerous.

Normal people, after experiencing too much, often find both their mind and body worn out, making it difficult to have any creativity. Even if set free from complicated work, they are likely to become someone who spends their days leisurely, rather than engage in creative endeavors.

But in the rebirth place, such hidden dangers did not emerge; all the negative emotions Yun Ye accumulated in his second life were completely wiped away.

The repression from his heart also vanished entirely, making him feel unimaginably at ease.

Perhaps the world of cultivation has methods of soul possession, allowing one to relive a life, but these methods cannot make the soul young again.

Reliving a life is merely the lingering breath of an old person, with the path of cultivation already severed.

“Nearly infinite possibilities! It seems I don’t have to worry about losing my original intention due to overly long time. This time, I can truly be certain… if one life doesn’t work, then ten lives; if ten don’t work, then a hundred!”

“One day, I will crush you all!”

Chaos faded.

Rebirth began.
