”How cruel…” Yan Zaizen's dampened intelligence, insight, and experience returned like a thundering boom in the sky, sudden and powerful. However, when he looked around, his sharp eyes couldn't help but feel profound, unfathomable sadness.

Surrounding him were his clansmen, surrounding him were his blood, surrounding him was his mother and father, and a life. As someone who comprehended the Imperial Law of Samsara, he found the entire sight to be unnerving. There was only one reason for that:

This world wasn't an illusion!

”To create an entire world...its own reincarnation cycle...but to control these people like a god of fate.” The world he was in was not fake. No, it would be better to say it wasn't an illusory world within his mind. Everything here was real, but the path of destiny was manipulated and altered.

What more...these clansmen were created from his origin source, his physical DNA, and memories of his past. They were as real as Bai Lufeng and Tao, they were as real as him and Ma Xiuren. They possessed their own souls, memories, consciousness unique to them, and even the world itself was true. Even time was consistent, a second here meant a second in the outside world.

”A trial like this...truly is cruel.” Closing his eyes, he repressed the chaotic emotions surging through his mind and soul. ”I lived an entire sixteen years with repressed intelligence and memories...sixteen years I accompanied these people who are both real and fake, sixteen years I loved them and they loved me.”

With clenched teeth, he struggled fiercely to keep his emotions in check. The seething rage and profound sensation of sadness that could erupt and might rip apart his entire being, including his dao. He couldn't allow that to happen.

”What's the purpose of this trial? To test me how?” Yan Zaizen's eyes flashed in thought, he looked at the True Essence expert who had locked them down with his aura. ”I need to wait...I need to see why.” He knew that him awakening from his consciousness wasn't done purposefully. Instead, he was supposed to remain in his original state for a long period of time or forever, and that was part of the trial.

Considering the trial didn't end immediately upon sobering up meant that there was more to this trial than meets the eye.

The True Essence expert sealed the cultivation bases of those clansmen above the Essence Formation Realm and directly left. They were escorted to another location. While they did, Yan Zaizen inspected this world in detail and discovered a few things.

Firstly, the laws here were consistent with the laws outside, but similar to the Dusk Zone, some laws were of a different hierarchy than normal. In truth, the laws aligned with the Dusk Zone exactly. This meant he was still in the Dusk Zone or at least apart of it, likely a sub-realm of some sort.

Secondly, despite the laws being present, they were all equally weaker than the outside. This was likely to accommodate the false reincarnation cycle set up in the realm. It was truly ingenious, but it didn't seem like it was done by a person but by an object of sorts. The reason for this was the aura the cycle released, it was far too different from outside.

Lastly, the people here didn't know that they were created for a purpose and seems to be operating normally. He could only conclude that the creator only manipulated some matters, such as his clan and birth as well as his circumstance. This was supported by the fact the world had hundreds of thousands of years of established history, talented people, and tragedies.

At sixteen years old, he met both tragedy and fortune. It was the day he obtained the Meteor Ring. It was the day he met Han Genji, his one and only master. It changed the entirety of his life and led to his current path. Thanks to his relationship with Han Genji, he was betrayed at Xuanwu City and sent to chaotic space. The subsequent events led to him meeting Pinaka, and then here.

It started it all.

Therefore, it's possible the story of this world must remain consistent. Likely, the reason why the person wanted someone at the second-floor was the limit to their lifespans. With the limitations of laws here, it'll be fortunate if someone with supreme talent could reach the third-floor. This could've been purposeful or outside of the creators power to change.

With their minds repressed, they would be forced to forge their own path anew. ”But...why?”
