Chapter 2

Although she had lived for more than several hundred years and had cultivated her primordial spirit, experiencing the baptism of the void, Dugu Feng would never forget any detail of her life. A reincarnationist? A reincarnation space? This was clearly something that only existed in a world known as an "infinite flow"! Could it be that her experience was not a simple穿越 (穿越 means "穿越" in Chinese, but in this context, it refers to a "time/space travel" or "穿越" in the sense of a literary genre where characters travel to different worlds or times), but rather a trick by the reincarnation space? That would be extremely frustrating!

According to the web novels Dugu Feng read in her previous life, a certain "Main God" (read as a pervert) reincarnation space, regardless of its purpose or operational mode, ultimately selects "intelligent beings" to become reincarnationists and sends them to various planes to carry out tasks that are essentially manipulative and malicious.

As the saying goes, "Once you enter the cycle of reincarnation, your life and death are no longer in your control!" If there were a choice, a normal person would never voluntarily join the reincarnation space and embark on a path of reincarnation where life and death are not in their control.

Unfortunately, Dugu Feng had no choice. Unless she was willing to stay in this endless expanse of stars, facing a future of endless loneliness, she had to join the reincarnation space and begin a dangerous yet exciting journey into the unknown.

"Is it the Main God? You really know how to take advantage of a situation!" Dugu Feng said calmly, then raised her head and asked slowly, "What is the purpose of the reincarnation space?"

The voice remained silent. After waiting for a moment, Dugu Feng confirmed that the so-called reincarnation space would not answer her question and sighed, saying, "I join."

"Confirmed reincarnationist Dugu Feng, joining the reincarnation space. Granted the reincarnation mark, ID number 1929474."

"Reincarnationist permissions unlocked. You can query through the reincarnation mark!"

"The Huang Yi martial arts plane to which the reincarnationist Dugu Feng belongs is temporarily sealed and will not be opened as a mission plane until Dugu Feng's death."

"Ten minutes later, the necessary mission will begin. Mission mode: Plane Rebirth Mode; Mission world: Shen Bing Xuan Qi plane. Please prepare, reincarnationist!"

A continuous stream of voices echoed in Dugu Feng's mind, and at the same time, a faint phoenix pattern appeared on her shoulder. The rune and the voice appeared without any warning, and despite her current ability to perceive spatial anomalies and scan the atomic level with a single thought after experiencing the baptism of the void, she did not sense any abnormalities. The power of the reincarnation space was indeed profound and unfathomable.

Although the prompt from the reincarnation space was brief, it provided Dugu Feng with a lot of information, enough to give her a rough understanding of what she would face.

"The War God Map is actually a 10-star existence?" Looking at the long list of data provided by the reincarnation mark, Dugu Feng couldn't help but be slightly surprised. She had lived for several hundred years in the world of "Tang Dynasty Twin Dragons," traveling through China and beyond, almost collecting all the top martial arts of the Tang Dynasty. Her martial arts skills had long surpassed the minimum threshold required for the void. However, in the evaluation of the reincarnation space, apart from the top martial arts of the Four Great Books, which were rated 6 stars, other techniques such as the Heavenly Demon Technique, the Immortal Seal Method, and the Root of All Dharmas were only rated 5 stars. Only the War God Map was rated 10 stars, a difference that was too great.

But upon careful consideration, the War God Map recorded the supreme secrets of the "War God" creating the universe and the birth and death of the cosmos. If she had not "awakened" halfway and instead evolved according to the path shown in the War God Map in the special state of the void, she would have become a nebula-like existence after billions of years, a transformation that spanned countless levels of life. It was indeed reasonable to rate it as 10 stars.

"What is the purpose of the reincarnation space?" Dugu Feng asked again.

"Insufficient permissions, cannot answer." The mysterious voice replied.

Dugu Feng understood. The reincarnation space gave an answer of insufficient permissions rather than refusing to answer, indicating that there was an official answer to this question, and the reincarnationists did not need to speculate.

"What are the different mission modes for reincarnationists?"

"Insufficient permissions, cannot answer."

"What is the Plane Rebirth Mode?"

"Plane Rebirth Mode: Reincarnationists enter the mission world in a rebirth mode, randomly reborn as a character in the plot other than the protagonist. Completing the mission allows them to return."

...

Dugu Feng seized the ten minutes before the mission to continuously ask the reincarnation space. Although the reincarnation space did not answer most of her questions, she still gathered a lot of information and gained a vague understanding of the reincarnation space.

The ten minutes passed quickly. There was no light column, no strange phenomena, just a solemn voice declaring, "Mission begins!" and Dugu Feng's figure suddenly disappeared from the vast expanse of space.

...

The world of Shen Bing Xuan Qi is a mystical world where gods and demons exist.

However, although the gods and demons in this world have the same names as those in Earth's mythology, they are not native Earth life forms. According to the creation legend of Shen Bing Xuan Qi, a group of advanced extraterrestrial beings, after losing a war against a race called "Heavenly Demons," fled to Earth. While hiding from the Heavenly Demon army, these extraterrestrial beings cultivated the most promising life form on Earth—humans—and selected the most outstanding and powerful elites from human civilization to become future warriors against the Heavenly Demon army. This led to the emergence of various mythological civilizations on Earth, and these extraterrestrial beings were called "gods" by Earth's humans.

However, the "gods'" preparations and survival on Earth were not smooth. Soon after arriving on Earth, the most powerful of the gods, "Yuan Shi Tian Zun," was infected by the Heavenly Demon's evil energy and split into two opposing entities: "Yuan Shi Tian Zun" and "Yuan Zu Tian Mo." To protect the last foothold of the "gods," Yuan Shi Tian Zun sacrificed himself, transforming into the Heavenly Net and ten divine beasts to seal Yuan Zu Tian Mo.

Yuan Zu Tian Mo, naturally unwilling to be sealed, like all villains in stories, decomposed his body into ten magic beads, breaking through the Heavenly Net and descending to the earth. He hoped that these ten magic beads, after absorbing enough human negative emotions, would transform into magic weapons and break the Heavenly Net.

On their way to the earth, the ten magic beads were intercepted by the leader of the gods, "Nüwa." However, Nüwa was infected by the evil energy during the interception and split into an entity called "Yi Mo." To avoid the same fate as Yuan Shi Tian Zun and to prevent Yi Mo from becoming another Yuan Zu Tian Mo, Nüwa committed suicide with the divine weapon "Tian Jing," resolving the crisis.

Later, to escape his seal, Yuan Zu Tian Mo exhaled another "evil energy," which transformed into "Xuan Tian Evil Emperor" on Earth. Xuan Tian Evil Emperor, after achieving great martial arts skills and becoming invincible, was about to collect the magic beads and release the Heavenly Demon when he was sealed by "Gui Gu Xian Shi." The world narrowly escaped another demonic disaster.

The story of Shen Bing Xuan Qi begins a hundred years after Xuan Tian Evil Emperor was sealed.

It was the era of the Five Barbarians and Sixteen Kingdoms, with the Five Barbarians ravaging China, and various states warring, with smoke and fire everywhere. In the underworld, the evil alliance "Tian Di Meng" was wreaking havoc, with its leader having ambitious plans to eliminate the righteous path and unify the underworld, aiming to rule the world. China entered an unprecedented dark and chaotic era.

In the world of the underworld, the righteous path was led by the four major families: Nan Gong, Bei Ming, Xi Cheng, and Dong Fang. The head of the Nan Gong family, Nan Gong Yi, was a born hero, both wise and brave, and the leader of the righteous path. However, he was not satisfied with his status in the underworld and accepted an official title from the Eastern Jin Dynasty. On the day of his enfeoffment, he took out the family's heirloom, the first of the ten divine weapons, "Tian Jing," to show to his guests, violating the "benevolence" represented by Tian Jing, triggering the divine weapon's curse: "The master of Tian Jing, wealth and honor, vast calamity."

Tian Jing exploded and disappeared, and Nan Gong Yi died. The Nan Gong family was leaderless, and Nan Gong Yi's wife, Dong Fang Xiong, took control. To avoid disaster, the children of Nan Gong Yi's concubine were sent to the Bei Ming family by their maternal grandfather. This story, triggered by the divine weapon, began from there.

Fifteen years later, in the Bei Ming family.

The Bei Ming family had been forging weapons for generations, and their weapons were renowned throughout the world. To facilitate the forging of weapons, the entire Bei Ming Manor was built on an active volcano, with a large forge directly connected to the magma, using the earth's fire to forge weapons. Therefore, the quality of the weapons they forged was particularly excellent, and they were popular and welcomed by various forces. In the chaotic times, the world suffered, but the business of the Bei Ming family thrived.

Dugu Feng sat in the highest pavilion of Bei Ming Manor, gazing into the distance. It was mid-winter, and Bei Ming Manor was backed by a snow mountain and faced a large lake. From the pavilion, she could see a vast expanse of snow and ice, a typical northern winter landscape.

In the blink of an eye, Dugu Feng had been reborn in the world of Shen Bing Xuan Qi for fourteen years. Her identity was none other than the eldest daughter of the Bei Ming family—Bei Ming Xue.
