Winds Stir, Clouds Surge-A Super Assembly of Three Sovereigns!

When [Celestial Being · Red Dust] appeared in the Slum Area, he found it already bustling with voices, its stalls packed to the brim in a rare sight.

Countless professional and part-time Information Brokers were feverishly peddling intelligence that had passed through who knew how many hands.

The Infinite Dimension’s space title tournament each cycle was never merely a grand event for those High-tier Reincarnators. It was also a massive reshuffling of the power structure within the Infinite Dimensional Space—and even of the current world’s forces.

This had nothing to do with whether one was high-tier or low-tier. Even newcomers who had only just passed their Awakening Trials and become Reincarnators could sense that this was the most chaotic time.

At the same time, it was also when the structure of power was being rebuilt.

At a time like this, knowing who would become the major players in the coming cycle and which figures could shelter others was far more valuable than intelligence about a few item transactions.

"They say [Great Sun of Finality] lost in the selection and has already lost the Crown of Supremacy!"

Red Dust had not even taken two steps, nor paid any price, before hearing this earth-shattering news.

He soon saw several High-tier Reincarnators belonging to the Finality Empire hurriedly leaving the Slum Area.

Clearly, the news was not baseless.

Red Dust clicked his tongue inwardly. The man who had reclaimed land from the Australian seas to build an island and founded the Finality Empire—the first Reincarnator-exclusive nation—had actually been defeated so quickly.

The Finality Empire would inevitably undergo enormous changes next. Whether it was the High-tier Reincarnators within the empire or other Reincarnator assemblies and forces outside it, none would be able to resist turning their thoughts toward that colossal entity that had gathered over a thousand Reincarnators.

"Hey, Red Dust, you must know some inside story, right? I’ll give you a good price!"

Someone called out to stop Red Dust. He turned around with a frown. As a newly ascended [Celestial Being], he had begun to carry an air of transcendence.

[Celestial Being] allowed him to attain a martial arts realm akin to [My Way], while also greatly enhancing his comprehension and use of martial arts. It could be called one of the best titles specialized for martial artists.

Without question, Red Dust had now transcended the status of a High-tier Reincarnator whose energy intensity merely set him apart from ordinary people. He was no longer the Reincarnator from the previous cycle who was said to possess true Title-level strength. He had become a genuine "big shot."

The shift in his mindset and bearing was quickly noticed by the alchemy master [Mad-level Potter]. With his eccentric temperament, he immediately spoke in a mocking tone.

"Oh? Looks like you got yourself a special title. Your wings have grown strong enough that you’re no longer planning to pretend to be that hot-blooded idiot?!"

Red Dust’s gaze shifted. Mad-level Potter was an alchemy master with a strange personality. He had some connection to the former [Crimson Lotus] and Her Excellency [Life of Silence]. Of course, more importantly to Red Dust, rumors said Mad-level Potter had also traded with Mercenary Tao.

Some even claimed that the famous Third Tier team [Black Beast] had been wiped out because they competed with Mercenary Tao for an item here at Mad-level Potter’s place, prompting Mercenary Tao to send [Skylark] to eliminate them.

Supporting this claim was the fact that someone in [Paradise] had confirmed seeing [Skylark] enter Paradise and act alongside Her Excellency Life of Silence and Mercenary Tao.

Red Dust naturally knew that was false, but he immediately recovered and revealed his trademark hearty smile.

"Haha, so it’s Brother Potter. I was still immersed in the battle just now and didn’t snap out of it for a moment. My apologies, truly my apologies!"

Mad-level Potter curled his lip. Under normal circumstances, he would likely have continued ridiculing Red Dust. But today, some pieces of intelligence could not only sell for a high price—he himself was also immensely curious.

"So, you, Paradise’s most loyal gatekeeper, must be thrilled right now, huh?!"

Mad-level Potter spoke with half mockery and half probing.

Red Dust froze, only to hear Potter continue.

"Just now, a huge number of Information Brokers from other districts paid enormous fees to cross districts and come here. Without exception, their goal was to purchase the most accurate and detailed intelligence on Mercenary Tao and [Paradise]."

"Don’t tell me those people all went insane and decided to do this. Did Mercenary Tao pull off some other crazy stunt?"

"No… perhaps we can no longer address him that way. We should call him… Your Excellency!"

Clang—

A fierce sword cry suddenly rang out. Red Dust felt the frigid sword intent almost scraping against his skin. That grim, silent sensation was even more intense than when Her Excellency Life of Silence had appeared before.

The celestial phenomenon over the Infinite Dimension’s East District Slum Area changed in an instant. The starry sky dimmed abruptly, then a streak of dazzling light pierced from one end of the heavens to the other, like an incomparably brilliant sword beam.

"This is… a newly ascended Supreme Expert has appeared!"

Someone nearby shouted. The next moment, everyone saw a woman in a purple-black robe appear on the white jade bridge, the famous demonic blade hanging at her waist.

The woman merely cast an indifferent glance at the bustling, prosperous Slum Area before transforming into light and vanishing.

"It’s Sen Xia! Sen Xia of [Azure Sky] has claimed the Crown of Supremacy!"

As the most mysterious assembly in the Infinite Dimensional Space, and in some sense the most elite, [Azure Sky] had always been famous for its small membership and exceptionally high standards.

Rumor had it that every official Azure Sky member possessed strength nearly comparable to that of top-tier Reincarnators.

Moreover, they were idealists through and through. They appeared in all kinds of secondary and Native Worlds, acting in ways utterly incompatible with most Reincarnators.

Some top-tier Reincarnators said the Azure Sky bunch were like children "playing house," or playing some real-life "role-playing game." They never slaughtered indiscriminately, instead devoting themselves to correcting various worldlines.

Yet although everyone knew [Azure Sky] was strong, none of its members had ever become a [Supreme Expert].

This time, an exception had finally appeared. Azure Sky’s No.2, the pinnacle of the East District’s Swordplay System, Sen Xia, had finally donned the Crown of Supremacy.

Mad-level Potter’s eyes held a trace of wistfulness. He possessed more intelligence than most mid- and low-tier Reincarnators. As a top alchemy master himself, many people came to trade with him.

Intelligence had always been part of trade.

Thus, Mad-level Potter knew very well that the legend of the Infinite Dimensional Space, the glory of the Idealists—[Azure Sky]—would most likely truly fall.

At the very least… the future Azure Sky could hardly be expected to dominate various Native Worlds and the real world as it had before. Establishing rules for increasingly crazed and chaotic Reincarnators was not something that the pinnacle of the Swordplay System—or even a Supreme Expert—could accomplish.

Without the [King of Miracles], [Azure Sky] would immediately fall out of the ranks of Super Assemblies.

Buzz—

The sky changed once more. The light spanning both ends of the starry sky vanished, replaced by boundless black clouds rapidly spreading from one corner and staining the entire heavens.

With long red hair cascading down her back, calm eyes, and features as exquisite as a doll’s, the former Supreme Expert [Life of Silence] had successfully defended her title, returning once again as a [Supreme Expert].

After appearing beyond the white jade bridge, [Dong Xuri], [Luoxi], and other High-tier Reincarnators emerged one after another and walked with her toward the Slum Area.

A biting aura rushed toward them.

Mad-level Potter narrowed his eyes slightly. If the fall of the Super Assembly Azure Sky had become an established fact, and the tremendous upheaval in the Finality Empire was entirely foreseeable…

Then there was one other major event in the Infinite Dimension’s East District that could be stated with absolute certainty!

No, it would not merely be a momentous event for the Infinite Dimension’s East District. It would be a world-shaking event for the entire Infinite Dimensional Space!

A Super Assembly capable of housing two Sovereigns was about to be born.

Qiqi’s gaze was as tranquil as lakewater. She no longer needed to restrain her boundless killing intent. Heart Light Pulse naturally radiated from her, while Clear Sword Heart had become permanently active.

Her Crown of Supremacy had also changed from [Life of Silence] to [Myriad Sounds of Silence], and its authority had shifted as well.

Reincarnators who fought by relying on Heart Light Pulse would always experience fluctuations and changes in their combat styles and abilities as their Heart Light Pulse changed.

Qiqi led her people to the agreed location in E District of the Slum Area. There, a blond Reincarnator in a floral shirt stood awkwardly at a somewhat oversized stall.

The surrounding area had long since been packed with all kinds of Reincarnators.

Qiqi’s gaze shifted, and everyone immediately spread out.

[Mai] swallowed. He had not yet reached the level where he could become a Title-level Reincarnator, so Jin Yue’an had arranged for him to stand at the stall and keep an eye on the bids.

It should have been an easy job, but the moment the tournament ended, it became a hot potato.

He had lost track of how many people had come to ask about His Excellency Mercenary Tao, and he could not remember how many had contacted him through the Space in an attempt to get him to provide some secret assistance.

The only thing he knew was that His Excellency Mercenary Tao had become a Sovereign!

That was the bombshell brought by Information Brokers who had crossed over from other districts.

"East District Monster—Mercenary Tao—crushed every candidate in the battle for the Crown of Supremacy in the physique domain, becoming the sole supreme figure in the physique domain!"

This news circulated among all high-ranking Information Brokers, spreading at an uncontrollable speed into the ears of every Reincarnator.

"Your Excellency, is it true that you intend to join [Paradise]?"

"You and His Excellency Mercenary Tao… no, you and His Excellency Mercenary Tao, are you planning to completely change East Xia’s situation?!"

Unable to restrain their curiosity and impulse, someone directly asked Qiqi. In the past, they naturally would not have dared.

But now, they had all joined [Paradise]. In a sense, the monster whose reputation had spread to other districts already stood behind them.

Dong Xuri coldly glanced at the Reincarnators gathered around Mercenary Tao’s stall. Most of them were mid- and low-tier Reincarnators.

To be honest, Dong Xuri had always had many objections to the way His Excellency Mercenary Tao constructed and managed [Paradise].

Ever since learning of the Sovereign’s intentions, he had long been prepared to join [Paradise] as well.

But compared to other large assemblies with numerous members, aside from the few high-level teams Paradise had recruited recently, most of its members varied wildly in quality.

It could even be said that weaklings were everywhere.

Such an assembly was completely unworthy of the Sovereign joining it.

Qiqi said nothing, but she nodded.

After witnessing the power of the world where the [Celestial Dynasty of the Vault of Heaven] was located, she had gained a profound understanding of the dangers Native Worlds and this world would face in the future.

Those people had entrusted everything to her. They trusted her, and she had no intention of casually losing this world.

In her view, only a powerful and ruthless Reincarnator like Mercenary Tao was suited to rule this current group of Reincarnators, who were far too weak no matter how one looked at them.

Perhaps the cruel world Mercenary Tao wanted was the path that could rapidly make Reincarnators "iterate" and grow stronger.

The others wanted to ask more, but the starry sky overhead changed once again. The boundless black clouds split down the middle, and a massive phantom stretched across heaven and earth, like a giant standing beneath the sky and gazing down upon everyone from an immeasurable height.

Simply looking up at the sky allowed one to feel the terrifying pressure, as well as one’s own insignificance before such a colossal being.

Such a phenomenon had never appeared before. Clearly, a new Supreme Expert had emerged in the East District.

This news considerably improved the expressions of many Reincarnators concerned about the future inter-district war. Tan Zhishan’s defeat in the Mental Domain had caused the East District to lose its chance at claiming every Crown of Supremacy in the Mental Domain.

In a sense, that had weakened the East District’s influence.

But now, among the mysterious Supreme Experts of the other domains, the East District seemed to have gained another presence.

Mai, Dong Xuri, and the others all looked directly toward the white jade bridge, wondering whether this phenomenon, seemingly even more exaggerated than Qiqi’s, belonged to Mercenary Tao.

But the person appearing on the white jade bridge was a man dressed in a white long robe. He wore his hair in a high ponytail, had refined features, and carried a false smile on his face.

This was an [Avatar] no one had seen before. Yet anyone who could become a Supreme Expert could not have been previously unknown, so it was most likely a Reincarnator who had changed to a new Avatar and claimed a Crown of Supremacy.

Before the newcomer could depart, the enormous phantom in the sky abruptly disappeared.

The sky suddenly brightened. Golden radiance, like the dawn, rose from the east and illuminated the entire heavens, its light directly covering the massive phantom.

Meanwhile, a pitch-black giant serpent coiled in the west, following the edge of the sky as though it wanted to swallow the entire heavens.

The two lights converged in the central region, and a third radiance began to emerge. It took the form of an inverted cross. Amid the swirling brilliance, the golden light and black serpent flanked it on either side.

An overwhelming sense of presence directly crushed the terrifying massive phantom from moments ago into disappearance.

Shiyu stood on the white jade bridge and turned around at just the right moment, indeed seeing that iconic red monstrous face appear.

The other man wore a dark green trench coat, with faint golden divine light flowing across the surface of his skin.

Judging from his appearance alone, Shiyu could roughly tell that the strength of that Crown of Supremacy had absolutely surpassed the [Eternal Destiny] he had obtained in the previous cycle.

Hah. A terrifying Crown of Supremacy formed from single-handedly defeating every candidate and monopolizing every blessing… Mercenary Tao really is a monster.

Shiyu’s thoughts shifted, but he smiled as he looked at the group appearing behind Mercenary Tao and took the initiative to speak.

"Your Excellency Mercenary Tao, I’m very interested in the new order you spoke of. I wonder if I might also join [Paradise]…"

The moment those words fell, the East District of the Infinite Dimension erupted.

The newly ascended mysterious Supreme Expert actually wanted to join [Paradise] of his own accord?!

Red Dust stood frozen in place, his mouth half-open.

"FXXK! Is the Infinite Dimensional Space getting into group-hugging now too? Damn it, what comes next… is completely going to spiral out of control!"

Mad-level Potter cursed as he complained.

If an assembly having two Supreme Experts gave it a strong chance of becoming a new Super Assembly, then once that assembly possessed three Supreme Experts…

The siphon effect would immediately emerge. Vast numbers of High-tier and even top-tier Reincarnators would be rapidly drawn into that assembly.

An assembly… no, perhaps it should be called an empire.

Not an empire on the scale of the Finality Empire created by Great Sun of Finality, but a truly terrifying force capable of unifying the Infinite Dimension’s East District. Was it about to be born?!

Mad-level Potter rapidly used Space communications to send this news to many people.

He did have some ties with Mercenary Tao, and he truly was an eccentric man. Yet he remained deeply attached to a peaceful world. He simply could not imagine what would happen once two Supreme Experts pledged themselves to Mercenary Tao.

What would become of the Infinite Dimension’s East District…

What would become of this world…

Damn it!
