Finality Empire

When Bai Cangshu followed Luoxi back to the East District public space, the place had already undergone tremendous changes.

The sky above the entire East District had darkened. A Black Great Sun hung in the air, replacing the original disguised sun. Beneath its dim yellow light, large numbers of Reincarnators had gathered outside the Slum Area and the four major basic institutions.

It was the densest gathering of Reincarnators Bai Cangshu had seen since becoming one himself.

Moreover, with only a casual glance, he spotted quite a few people like Luoxi, radiating all sorts of elemental energy. Those were probably all Title-level Reincarnators.

At that moment, even Reincarnators capable of flight or levitation had tacitly descended to the ground, leaving the airspace empty. That was a stage reserved exclusively for Supreme Experts.

Luoxi looked up at the spectacular sight and let out a cold laugh.

"A loser actually went out of his way to do something like this. Heh…"

Bai Cangshu guessed that Crimson Lotus Mage · Luoxi was probably affiliated with Life of Silence, the other Supreme Expert rumored to be contending against the Great Sun of Finality. During the previous bidding, Flame Demon under the Great Sun of Finality had clearly been trying to disrupt Rose Tiger’s plans.

The people of these two factions were sharply divided, clashing and competing at every level.

At that moment, nine Reincarnators stood in the sky in a descending formation. At the very top was a Reincarnator whose body was shrouded within the Black Great Sun, the apex of the group.

Every one of them radiated an extraordinarily powerful presence.

Clearly, these were the close confidants—or rather, followers—of the Supreme Expert known as the Great Sun of Finality.

"Everyone, the era in which Reincarnators are constrained by the laws, order, and rules of ordinary people will soon come to an end."

A deep male voice rang out. The air seemed to carry the scent of ashes. Bai Cangshu sensed something familiar as he looked into the sky, where countless strands of black cursed power and negative energy coiled around the Black Great Sun.

"We are Reincarnators. We are Supernatural Beings. We are evolvers. We are… higher forms of life."

The Great Sun of Finality’s voice was immensely magnetic, and even the rise and fall of his speech carried a peculiar rhythm that made people unable to resist agreeing with him.

Bai Cangshu saw that these two blunt sentences alone had already prompted quite a few Reincarnators in the Slum Area to nod in agreement.

"We should no longer be branded with hypocritical labels like dangerous, high-risk, or disaster-class. We… are the rulers!"

The Great Sun of Finality’s voice gradually rose. Bai Cangshu felt nothing about it, but many Reincarnators of the Second Tier strongly agreed.

They possessed many energy-projection abilities. Once those abilities were witnessed, they could cause considerable trouble. At best, the Infinite Dimensional Space would confiscate large quantities of Dimensional Points and Singularity Points to interfere with cognition. At worst, the Reincarnator would be erased outright.

On one hand, the Infinite Dimensional Space was deliberately revealing its existence and influence bit by bit. On the other, it would perform cognitive corrections whenever exposure became excessive.

Bai Cangshu guessed that there had to be some sort of restriction involved.

The Great Sun of Finality’s speech continued, while the surrounding Reincarnators spent their allotted time in the public space listening to this Supreme Expert speak.

"I am sick of the daily life of being watched and controlled by mortals. I am sick of the oppression of being unable to use my abilities freely. Therefore… starting today, I will establish an empire that belongs to us Reincarnators."

"There, there will be no mortals, no governments, no surveillance. Every one of us will be able to soar through the skies and travel across the earth, freely unleashing the power that has always belonged to us—our power!"

As the word "power" left his mouth, the Black Great Sun abruptly lit up. Countless black rays shone down, and Bai Cangshu saw the stone-paved ground begin to turn black.

This was the first time he had seen a Reincarnator’s ability affect the space in such a way. Moreover, it was not like The Chosen influencing the rules of space, but a genuine use of one’s own ability to alter the terrain of the space.

The level of power involved was far too high for Bai Cangshu to understand at present. But seeing that Luoxi had also fallen silent, he knew that at the very least, ordinary Title-level Reincarnators could not accomplish such a thing.

Soon after, the Black Great Sun began to dissipate, and the sky above the space returned to normal. Quite a few Information Brokers began distributing more information about the Finality Empire.

For example, its site was supposedly in the Pacific Ocean, where several Title-level Reincarnators had joined forces to raise the earth’s crust and fill in the land from nothing, creating a massive island of more than 300,000 square kilometers—an island absent from ordinary human sea charts.

There were also rumors that the conflict between the Great Sun of Finality and Life of Silence had erupted because the Great Sun of Finality had initially intended to flatten all of Australia and establish his nation there.

However, when Life of Silence, the Supreme Expert of the West District, learned of this plan, the two engaged in a prolonged conflict and war, causing the mortality rate of mid- and high-tier Reincarnators to rise abnormally.

In the end, the leaders of the three major gatherings—Azure Sky, Throne of Illusion and Reality, and Destiny—mediated between them. The Great Sun of Finality backed down and chose the current island-building plan instead.

In return, Life of Silence no longer obstructed the establishment of this Reincarnator nation.

While everyone was still discussing the matter with great enthusiasm, Bai Cangshu had already obtained the Reincarnator number Luoxi had mentioned. However, there was no response when he contacted the other party, who was most likely not in the space at the moment.

He then went to the Appraisal Office. This time, the familiar fairy appraiser was not there. In his place stood a tall, slender human male appraiser with a gentle smile.

"Powerful Reincarnator, do you have some treasure that requires appraisal?"

Bai Cangshu took out the Devil Fruit he had obtained from the One Piece World and the Gourmet Cell he had acquired from Flame Demon at the same time.

"Oh my, oh my. What marvelous treasures, containing the peculiar powers of two worlds. Reincarnator, your luck is astonishing."

Bai Cangshu shrugged and did not respond. His mind was still considering whether the establishment of the so-called Finality Empire would have any effect on him.

Appraisal Master Lu requests D-rank Anomaly Point*2 and Dimensional Points*3000 from you to appraise the selected items. Pay?

Pay.

Under Bai Cangshu’s indifferent gaze, purple radiance spread from the appraiser’s hands. The Devil Fruit and Gourmet Cell flew up from Bai Cangshu’s hands simultaneously, and countless mysterious symbols began to emerge amid rings of light.

This was a unique ability of the magic side. Even without a Devil Fruit encyclopedia, one could obtain true information through mystical means.

"Done, customer. Both items are quite valuable tools."

This thin human male appraiser seemed almost excessively mild-mannered. Even the warm, gentle tone of his speech made Bai Cangshu feel slightly unaccustomed.

You have obtained Devil Fruit (Extremely Rare), Gourmet Cell · Blue (Extremely Rare)

Devil Fruit

Quality: Extremely Rare

Description: A secret treasure of the sea born from pirates and their Derivative Worlds, containing the power of sea devils.

Effect: After consumption, grants the ability of the Paramecia Type · Heartfire Fruit. (Acquired after taking the first bite; if multiple people consume it, only the first person obtains it.)

When Bai Cangshu saw the Devil Fruit’s ability, he clicked his tongue. Abilities related to fire usually earned the assessment: "Some kind of fruit? Even dogs wouldn’t eat it."

Because fire, as an element, was simply far too common.

This fruit was not the Nika Fruit Bai Cangshu had imagined, but a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that had never appeared before. Focusing his attention on it, he discovered that it was a Devil Fruit related to the human heart and emotions.

Its user could manipulate the emotions and thoughts of targets they touched, turn those emotions into flames, and burn the target’s mind and spirit. At the same time, the user’s own emotions could also trigger different flames.

Judging from the description alone, this was not a particularly powerful Paramecia Type fruit. Not only could it not compare with the Tremor-Tremor Fruit or other overpowered fruits, it could not even compare with those Logia Types and Mythical Zoan Types.

Gourmet Cell · Blue

Quality: Extremely Rare

Description: A special cell born from Toriko and its Derivative Worlds, containing powerful strength.

Effect 1: Upon use, activates the user’s cells and enhances the user’s physical constitution.

Effect 2: Gourmet Cells can raise their cell level by consuming specific ingredients, greatly enhancing cellular strength and physical strength.

Bai Cangshu looked at the two items in his hands but did not rush to use them. Instead, he returned to his stall and listed both items there. This would draw more people to his stall and help him sell his other tools.

On the other hand, he could also see whether he could trade them for something more suitable for himself.

After setting a series of restrictions on Li Qingzi, he gave her a contact number and had the March Group discuss investing in Paradise with the owner of that number. Only then did he leave the space.
