The Reincarnators’ New Era Arrives-The Paradise Age

"Ha, this woman is pretty good~"

Bai Cangshu clapped, applauding Jin Yue’an’s performance below.

Li Qingzi frowned. She was not sure whether Bai Cangshu was implying something else with those words.

What displeased her even more was that she actually felt unhappy over something like this.

Li Qingzi had studied plenty of psychology courses and naturally knew that something was probably wrong with her.

Yet she suppressed her thoughts and emotions. As a reincarnator, such matters were nothing more than trifles.

"Oh?"

"It’s rare for you to take a liking to a woman in Korea. I’ll arrange for her to come to the manor tonight."

Li Qingzi deliberately said this, but Bai Cangshu merely curled his lips. A woman’s thoughts were plain as day in his eyes.

He had no interest in teasing her.

The smile on his face simply grew ever more obvious.

He knew that his plan had succeeded—or rather, that it had already set foot on the right path!

Infinite Dimensional Space did indeed permit such things to happen. No, it was more accurate to say that the Space encouraged them!

Reincarnators would deliberately obscure the existence of reincarnators, promoting their own existence on a level more readily accepted by ordinary people, until humanity completely accepted the existence of reincarnators.

At that point, reincarnators could walk openly in the world!

Back when Bai Cangshu had learned of Infinite Dimensional Space’s awkward and strange secrecy regulations, he had found them odd.

Since the Space possessed the ability to erase reincarnators, and dead reincarnators would vanish from ordinary people’s awareness once all information about them was erased—

Then why did Infinite Dimensional Space need reincarnators to hide themselves?

Perhaps this could be explained by saying that altering cognition came at an enormous cost.

Yet that raised another logical issue. If the Space was unwilling to pay that cost, then its secrecy regulations should have been made extremely strict.

For example, any reincarnator who used abilities in front of ordinary people would be erased immediately!

Any reincarnator overheard discussing Infinite Dimensional Space by ordinary people would be erased immediately!

Any reincarnator responsible for items produced by Infinite Dimensional Space falling into ordinary people’s hands would be erased!

As long as the Space used such cruel Iron Rules as Binding Vows, reincarnators would naturally find it difficult to make ordinary people aware of their existence.

But the Space had not done so. This was evident from the fact that when Song Xian first met Bai Cangshu, he had mentioned Infinite Dimensional Space under the guise of a game. The Space’s secrecy regulations were not strict.

After becoming a reincarnator, Bai Cangshu had specifically checked the relevant rules. He discovered that martial arts abilities and shooting abilities were subject to barely any restrictions, while mental abilities faced few restrictions as well.

Only abilities such as energy projection and summoning were directly deemed violations, triggering time-limited Purge Missions.

From then on, Bai Cangshu had guessed that the Space did not care whether reincarnators used abilities before ordinary people. What the Space cared about was how ordinary people understood those abilities!

Therefore, when the term Ability User began growing increasingly common after Great Sun of Finality’s nation-building challenged the existing order, Bai Cangshu made a decision.

He would take things a step further and muddle the perceptions of all humanity.

He would turn Ability Users, this special group of superhuman beings, into a phenomenon that could be accepted.

Like the mutants popular in Free Federation comics, or the Supernatural Ability Users so often featured in Japan manga.

Humans were creatures with a strong capacity for acceptance. As long as they were given an explanation, they would naturally fill in the rest of the settings and gaps.

For instance, as for how these Ability Users came about, they might speculate about genetic mutations, radiation, climate changes, and so on…

But they could never know of Infinite Dimensional Space’s existence out of thin air.

As long as that most crucial secret could be concealed, there would be a chance to turn reincarnators, creatures forced to remain in the shadows, into another group in humanity’s eyes.

This was a crucial step in Bai Cangshu’s Paradise Project.

Now, as the female reincarnator codenamed Jin Yue’an had openly used an ability before countless cameras without being erased—

A new era belonging to reincarnators had arrived.

And his Paradise would soon descend as well.

Bai Cangshu smiled brightly, baring his white teeth.

Li Qingzi quietly withdrew her gaze from him. She had to admit that she increasingly felt Bai Cangshu was someone with extraordinary talent.

No longer merely because he possessed cards, because he was a powerful reincarnator who had survived as a newcomer against her, Flame Demon, and the others.

Rather, his way of thinking, decision-making, judgment, and execution all far surpassed ordinary standards.

He was a man who knew no taboos, and at the same time, a man who charged forward without hesitation.

"My mission deployment will begin tomorrow. Do you need to form a team?"

For the first time, Li Qingzi took the initiative to ask him this. It seemed that she had finally completely cast aside any thoughts of "rebellion" and wholeheartedly begun devoting herself to the reincarnator named Mercenary Tao.

Li Qingzi waited for a while. When she realized Bai Cangshu had no intention of forming a team and acting alongside her, she felt a little disappointed, yet also felt that it was only natural.

After all… perhaps she could no longer keep up with him.

"Woman, I obtained a Shikon Jewel fragment."

Li Qingzi froze. Then she received a notification from the Space: she had obtained the right to use the Shikon Jewel fragment.

"For me?"

Something strange stirred within her heart.

But Bai Cangshu’s next reaction quickly brought her back to reality.

Bai Cangshu raised a brow and glanced at this woman whose intentions were not pure enough.

"Heh, I’m having you collect the other fragments and bring them back."

He was not being tsundere or stubborn. In Bai Cangshu’s eyes, the demonized bloodline from Claymore did not have much potential.

Using the Shikon Jewel to strengthen Demonic Power was fundamentally putting the cart before the horse. What he wanted were the souls within the complete Shikon Jewel: the great priestess Midoriko, along with all manner of dragons, demons, spirits, and monsters.

Li Qingzi nodded and turned to leave.

The next round of title battles would likely begin after one or two mission deployments. Before then, she had to break through her shackles.

Ordinary mass-produced titles were of little use to a reincarnator like her, one who possessed exceptional destructive power.

For the current Mercenary Tao, they were neither aid nor threat.

She craved greater power!

A sharp sword cry suddenly rang out from the hotel lobby.

The sound was so piercing that cracks began to spread across the glass.

The reporters at the press conference below merely assumed it was some kind of electrical interference and paid it no mind. But the seated reincarnators all underwent drastic changes in expression.

An intense sense of pressure descended from above, as though a sword had been placed against their throats.

Feeling the goosebumps rise along the skin of her neck, Jin Yue’an felt that this was how reincarnators ought to be.

She raised her head and met a pair of eyes gleaming with a teasing smile.

"That is…"

Jin Yue’an’s pupils contracted, and her heart suddenly sank.

"Didn’t you really want to see me, Jin Yue’an? Come up. I can tell that you aren’t one of those mediocre mortals."

His voice appeared beside her ear out of nowhere, and her wildly pounding heart began to slow.

It really was Mercenary Tao!

This really was Mercenary Tao’s doing!

Unlike most people, Jin Yue’an was not afraid of Mercenary Tao. On the contrary, she admired him!

That powerful, ruthless bearing was precisely the goal she yearned for yet could not attain.

Bai Cangshu saw through the woman’s thoughts completely and extended a hand toward her.
