Chapter 605 605 Measuring Mountains and Rivers
The Reincarnation Passage was bizarre, connecting to the infinite cosmos and countless heavens and worlds!
However, using the reincarnation secret technique of the Witch God Temple, Wu He had specified his transmigration to be within a five thousand-kilometer radius.
He had originally planned to reincarnate into a noble family, facilitating his later rise to power. After all, the privileged in any era enjoyed the greatest advantages, and this held true even during the resurgence of Spiritual Energy!
But after bursting out of the Reincarnation Passage, he found that things were not at all as he had anticipated.
The moment he emerged from the Reincarnation Passage, Wu He sensed something was wrong, but by then, there was no turning back!
A wave of darkness washed over him. He felt an intense pain surge through his entire body, as if all his bones had been crushed.
Then, he saw a blinding light. The ordinary sunlight, to his newborn self, was so intense it felt like it could sear his eyes shut. This new 'body' was far too weak!
"Wow! Is this what a newborn puppy looks like? So cute!"
A girl's voice, full of delight, reached him. Then Wu He felt himself being picked up and dangled. He tried to shout but discovered he could only make "WHINE, WHINE, WHINE" sounds!
How is this possible?! How could this be?! I am the greatest witch priest of Da Xia! I cast a spell to ensure reincarnation into a noble family, so how did I become a dog?! How could I become a dog?!
Qin Xuantian! This must be Qin Xuantian's doing! Ahhh! How could I become a dog?! I am a witch priest of Da Xia! No, this is impossible!
Wu He roared furiously in his mind, wishing he could tear Qin Heng to shreds!
But he lacked the power.
Reincarnated as a dog—no, as 'it'—this body possessed no strength whatsoever. Any ordinary person could easily end his life.
At that moment, the voice of the girl who had spoken earlier rang out again.
"Nanny Liu, take this litter of puppies and throw them from our third-floor window. We'll see which ones survive. My Ye family is one of the eight great clans in Longxi Province, the foremost noble family in Xijing City. As the legitimate daughter, even my pet dog cannot be ordinary."
"As you command, Young Mistress." An older female voice responded. Then, Wu He felt himself being grabbed by the tail and dangled in mid-air, alongside three or four other newborn puppies.
"WOOF WOOF WOOF!"
A mother dog howled in fury, watching helplessly as her pups were snatched away, on the verge of going berserk!
BANG!
A gunshot rang out. The mother dog, who had just given birth, fell silent and collapsed, utterly dead.
"You cur, how dare you bark at me? Seeking death!"
The girl from before sneered; it was she who had shot the mother dog dead without a shred of mercy.
You must be joking! This has to be a joke! Although Wu He had reincarnated as a dog, his soul's essence was not weak. He could already vaguely sense his surroundings.
The unfolding series of events felt utterly surreal.
Not only had he been reborn as a dog, but his 'mother' was shot dead right after his birth! Now he faced a life-or-death test, and even if he survived, he was doomed to become a mortal's pet!
Damn it! Damn it all!
Wu He felt like he was going to explode, his blood boiling. I am the witch priest of Da Xia! Qin Xuantian, Qin Xuantian, I will grind your bones to dust!
After dealing with Wu He, Qin Heng did not leave immediately. Instead, he went to the summit of Mount K2 and stayed for two more days, carefully contemplating the faint aura lingering on the mountain—an aura strikingly similar to that of Mount Bu'er.
Then, after bidding farewell to Fengdu, he prepared to return to Beijing to meet the West Emperor of the Myth Organization and examine the quality of the Spirit Stone.
Of course, before that, Qin Heng first had to visit Xijing City, the capital of Longxi Province.
Wu He's reincarnated form was there. Additionally, the Nine Nether Evil Demon from the Parasitic Soul Clan that had escaped Beijing had also fled to Longxi.
However, before leaving, Qin Heng suddenly remembered something.
While pursuing Wu He, he had rescued an Innate Martial Artist from the Myth Organization named Shen Ying. She was one of the two new Innates Fengdu had previously brought to the national border.
For the past few days, Qin Heng had forgotten about her, keeping her in his portable storage space.
An ordinary person would likely have starved to death by now.
Fortunately, Innate Martial Artists could perform embryonic breathing, so going without food for ten days or half a month was inconsequential. When he released her, she was still full of vigor.
Fengdu and Shen Ying were, of course, immensely grateful to Qin Heng. The Myth Organization thus owed him another favor.
Qin Heng headed to Longxi. He used no means of transportation, instead choosing to walk, measuring the land beneath his feet and carefully experiencing the many wonders of this parallel world's Earth.
Although the Spiritual Energy had not yet fully recovered, many places already exhibited unusual phenomena.
As Qin Heng journeyed, he observed the profound natural principles they contained, wondering if they related to the Supreme Law.
Along the way, Qin Heng encountered many people: the good and the bad, men and women, rich and poor…
A myriad of beings, in countless forms and states. He alone was above them, strolling through the mortal world, looking down upon all sentient life as a man observes ants.
He crossed high mountains and great rivers, even traversed snow-capped peaks and vast deserts. Qin Heng measured the land with his feet, yet he also seemed to shrink distances, covering three thousand kilometers in just five days.
He arrived at the border of Longxi Province.
This was a remote highway built along a cliff edge, rarely used by vehicles. Qin Heng chose this route for convenience.
Unexpectedly, just as he was about to enter Longxi Province, he stumbled upon a highway robbery.
The sun had dipped below the horizon, but the moon had not yet risen to cast its light.
The sky was dim, and the northwesterly wind bit with a chill, like a knife scraping the face, making one shiver.
A black Audi was parked on the highway.
Ahead, three Wuling Hongguang vans were parked horizontally, blocking the road. More than twenty men stood there, cutting off the entire highway and obstructing the black Audi.
Inside the Audi, a pretty girl of seventeen or eighteen sat with tear-streaked cheeks, her hands clenched into fists, nervously watching the scene outside.
Now, in front of the Audi, a man in his forties and a younger man in his twenties were negotiating with the robbers. They were dressed respectably, but their faces were bruised; they had clearly already been beaten.
"Three hundred thousand! One hundred thousand per life, so three hundred thousand for three lives! If you want to pass, you pay up! Otherwise, I'll throw all of you off the cliff!" the robber bellowed.
Qin Heng walked past, giving the scene a cursory glance. He had no intention of getting involved.
The world was full of turmoil. He had seen much on his journey and encountered countless such incidents. If he were to intervene in everything, when would it ever end?
Thus, he continued along the roadside, walking onward as if no one else were present.
"Hey, you! Stop!" One of the robbers spotted Qin Heng. His eyes lit up as he yelled, "Trying to sneak off, you little brat? Can't you see your granddads are busy here? Get over here! If you don't want to die, cough up a hundred thousand!"
