Legend Management Bureau Chapter 424

[ … words ]

“This isn’t ‘death,’ this is rebirth!” Mahakala declared happily. “I will grant Mother rebirth, and from then on, we will attain a higher realm than anyone else!”

“Insolence!” You Si shouted, instantly erupting with a terrifying aura. “You brought me here just to kill me?!”

She never imagined these juniors would have such immense audacity. She immediately swung both hands, violently whipping up a massive gust of wind.

The monks inside the cave were blown completely off balance, suffering various injuries, but Mahakala completely ignored the fierce gale.

The giant Buddha behind him grew larger and larger amidst the howling wind, then slowly reached out a hand toward You Si.

“Mother, I know you do not understand, but that is fine,” Mahakala said with a smile. “Many people do not understand at first, but they will figure it out once they die.”

Seeing Mahakala’s ever-growing form, You Si slowly widened her eyes, revealing a rare trace of fear in her expression.

She never thought the day would come when she would face an opponent entirely unafraid of her attacks.

“Young Kid, do not come any closer to me!” You Si formed hand seals and shouted, “Time Spell! Reversing Flowing Fire!”

“Mother! Thank you for the strength you have given me! I was originally afraid I would not be able to kill you, but now there is no problem at all!”

Realizing she could not stop the giant Buddha before her, You Si turned to cast a Fleeing Spell.

However, Mahakala pinched his fingers together, forcefully pulling You Si over.

Now caught in Mahakala’s grasp, she was completely immobilized.

It was only then that Du Yu understood why You Si had always been somewhat wary of Mahakala. After all, among everyone she knew, Mahakala was the only one who harbored pure killing intent and could truly end her life.

“You… you!” You Si’s tone grew anxious. “Young Kid, let me go! I don’t want to go to the Ultimate Darkness!”

Seeing You Si’s expression, Mahakala looked somewhat disappointed. “Mother… why do you want to escape so badly? Do you not miss me at all?”

“Miss… you?”

Mahakala nodded silently and said, “Over a hundred years have passed. I miss Mother all the time, so why does Mother not miss me?”

Hearing this, You Si felt as if she had grasped a lifeline and hurriedly replied, “Silly child… Mother misses you very much too! Release Mother first, and we can talk things over slowly.”

“Then… how can you prove that you miss me?” Mahakala asked with a smile. “Mother wouldn’t lie to me, would she?”

“I…!” You Si trembled slightly as she spoke. “Then how do you want me to prove it?”

Mahakala pondered quietly for a moment before speaking. “I know! I learned a wondrous spell from a rogue cultivator I killed a few days ago.”

With that, he reached out his giant Buddha hand and lightly tapped You Si’s forehead.

A dazzling white light instantly bored into her mind.

You Si felt as though something had been embedded directly into her brain.

Mahakala said with profound satisfaction, “Mother, from now on, as long as you miss me, I will be able to feel you. This is wonderful… now I can feel Mother’s yearning…”

You Si immediately forced a bitter smile and said, “In that case… put Mother down quickly, Mother needs to…”

Before she could finish her sentence, Mahakala viciously slammed his palms together.

As powerful as You Si’s realm was, she was effortlessly crushed into a bloody pulp within his hands.

An excited expression bloomed on Mahakala’s face. “Wonderful!! Simply wonderful!! Let us all welcome Mother’s arrival together!”

The numerous black-clad monks surrounding them began to roar loudly, “Mother! Mother!”

Du Yu stared at the blood slightly seeping through Mahakala’s fingers, feeling that this place was the true hell.

He watched as Mahakala slowly opened his palms, but there was no reborn You Si there—only a flattened pile of mangled limbs.

“Hm?” Mahakala froze for a moment. “I have already reshaped Mother using the power of Suffering, so why hasn’t she appeared?”

The numerous monks were rendered speechless upon seeing this scene.

“I know…” Mahakala said with a smile. “Mother is truly exceptionally powerful to have managed to cast a Fleeing Spell. But it does not matter, we will find her again sooner or later.”

Du Yu instantly understood the bizarre nature of this situation.

Although he did not know the mechanics behind Mahakala’s bodily reconstruction, You Si was simply not part of the Reincarnation Cycle. Half of her represented “eternity,” so You Si could not be reborn here; her Soul had escaped.

Thinking of this, he raised his head and found the scenery before him rapidly changing once more.

Soon, his vision locked onto a teenage girl.

The girl possessed the exact same features as You Si, though much younger.

If his guess was correct, this person was You Si’s reincarnation.

The little girl had been born among Mortals. Because her innate Spiritual Root was incomplete, she carefully hid her identity. However, when she turned sixteen, she was suddenly taken away by several black-clad monks who descended upon the area.

Those monks had declared, “Mahakala has felt your yearning.”

From then on, the girl never returned.

The scenes before his eyes sped by in a blur. You Si reincarnated at multiple points in time, only to die in just as many. Du Yu did a rough count; it had happened at least several hundred times.

But this only made the situation increasingly terrifying.

These hundreds of You Sis lived across different dynasties. Not only that, but they could freely travel through time to meet each other and share intelligence. Their numbers only grew; they never diminished.

In other words, You Si being constantly killed did not make the world a better place. Instead, it created countless Great Pivots and spawned numerous paradoxes.

Time was also constantly repairing these changes one by one.

However, Du Yu knew that no matter how the other versions of You Si changed, the You Si his vision was locked onto would always be the first-generation “mother body.”

Time returned to normal, and the scene locked onto “You Si.” This generation of You Si seemed to have a decent Spiritual Root and could already proficiently wield seventy percent of the first generation’s power.

Her lifestyle had also undergone a massive change, as if she finally understood her mission.

And that was to hide and survive.

She no longer dared to kill with reckless abandon, nor did she dare to recklessly use spells.

The very day she mastered space-time teleportation, she immediately abandoned her family and parents, flying toward the Primordial Era.

For some reason, the Primordial Era always gave her a sense of security.

At the very least, she had never been hunted down by Mahakala here.

“Now that I have recovered seventy percent of my power… even if Maudgalyayana, the River-Crossing Arhat, Subhuti, and Anuruddha all came at once, I could still cast a Fleeing Spell…”

Just as she spoke, You Si and Du Yu descended into a world of ice and snow.

Before You Si could even take three steps, she instantly sensed a commotion. Something seemed to be happening in a distant village.
