Chapter 2307: Chapter 2307: Memory Flames

After its last revival, the Stone Mouse had been at the mid rank of the True God Realm.

Back then, even Master Evil couldn't be a match for it, and his body had been effortlessly destroyed by the powerful creature.

After another rebirth, the Stone Mouse's cultivation level descended once again, and it was now at the low rank of the True God Realm.

Another different thing was that Zen, who had been a proving godly warrior back then, was now a consummate True God.

As soon as the Stone Mouse approached him, Zen reached out in one swift motion and caught the mouse in his hand.

Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!

The Stone Mouse struggled desperately in Zen's hand, its body rolling up and snapping at Zen's fingers.

One of the Stone Mouse's theurgies was that it could move freely through everything. Back then, Zen's body was already strong, but it still couldn't resist the mouse.

If Zen's finger was bitten by the Stone Mouse, it would be torn off without difficulty.

Of course, Zen would not allow such a thing to happen. There was no way he would risk any part of his body; not even a single finger.

He caught the mouse by its tail and shook it slightly. Before its mouth could reach his fingers, he swung it to the other direction, away from his flesh.

No matter how hard it struggled, it couldn't do anything but swing whichever way Zen wanted it to, like a puppet with strings attached to its limbs.

Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!

After a few more attempts, the Stone Mouse finally gave up and started screeching in despair.

With its scream permeating the air and echoing off the invisible walls around them, seemingly a call for help, rustling sounds suddenly came from all directions in the darkness in response.

Countless green spots of light appeared from the haze of black, followed by the shadows of numerous huge mice.

“These big mice, strictly speaking, are not the same type of creature as you, right?” Zen asked with a knowing smile, looking at those huge mice.

Since the Stone Mouse was a one-of-a-kind true spirit, it was a unique existence and, naturally, it was impossible to have a companion of the same kind.

However, it seemed to at least have the power to summon these big mice.

Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!

The huge mice, seemingly stupid at first, all started squeaking after they saw Zen at the altar.

Their eyes shone bright red when they saw the Stone Mouse in his hand.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

All mice were nimble and quick despite their large size. The speed at which they moved was nothing short of amazing, and it didn't take long for them to approach Zen.

Facing these huge mice, lightning flashed through Zen's eyes.

Crack!

A bolt of lightning sparked in front of him and hit the first mouse. It swiftly leaped to a nearby mouse, and then to another mouse.

In the blink of an eye, the lightning had leaped a hundred times through the group of mice, eliminating them one by one.

With no resistance to the power of lightning, the mice quivered and dropped dead.

Soon, over one hundred mice were lying on the ground, motionless, and the smell of burnt fur smothered Zen.

He slowly lifted the Stone Mouse and calmly said, “I know you have the memory of your previous life after every reincarnation. You are very intelligent, so you must understand what I'm saying. I only want to know who set the restriction here.” 𝘙ἈＮօＢËś

Dangling in the air, the Stone Mouse stared at Zen with its small eyes. It seemed that it didn't want to reply to him.

“Even if you don't tell me, I know it must be Gregorio,” Zen continued in a collected voice. “Those who got you before him were not able to set such a powerful restriction. As for those after him... I think they must have been eaten by the huge mice. The problem is, who has Gregorio been incarnated as?”

Zen guessed that there were people who had obtained the Stone Mouse before Gregorio in the past.

But they failed to know about the secret of reincarnation, at least not at Gregorio's level.

As for those who got the Stone Mouse after Gregorio, they must've all been eaten up by those huge mice, just like Jalen and others.

Squeak! Squeak! Squeak! The Stone Mouse kept squeaking, as if it was unable to communicate with Zen at all.

Zen looked into its small eyes and sneered. “Playing dumb? Okay.”

He laid it on the altar and pressed on it. “It seems that as long as your corpse is thrown on the altar, you will be reincarnated immediately, and I don't need to wait for a long time. Am I right? Do you want me to try this theory again?” he threatened.

After speaking, he pressed one finger on its tail, summoning lightning arcs on his other hand at the same time.

The lightning arcs contained his power of consummate Thunderstorm Godly Way, which meant they were extremely powerful and almost invincible.

The Stone Mouse's eyes widened in fear when it sensed its destructive power.

Zen's guess was correct.

If it died on the altar, it could be reincarnated immediately.

The Stone Mouse was an immortal creature as long as it was within the divine land. It was a very special existence!

But even if it could be reincarnated infinitely, it would hate to taste the feeling of being killed again and again! The agony of dying surely wasn't something it would like to experience repeatedly.

“Stop! This is the Reincarnation Land! Up until now, there are only four people who have been reincarnated successfully in the divine land. You can check it yourself. Why do you have to torture me like this?” the Stone Mouse suddenly answered in a sharp voice.

Its eyes were full of contempt, having to heed Zen's warning against its will.

But although its voice was harsh and strange, Zen understood all of its words.

“Four people have been reincarnated successfully?” Zen repeated, raising an eyebrow.

“Yes, sir.” the Stone Mouse said, sighing in resignation.

“Take me there,” Zen ordered.

Reluctant as it was, the Stone Mouse had no other choice but to obey Zen's words.

It didn't expect that Zen would be able to get rid of the restriction set by Gregorio, let alone massacre the huge mice that came to its rescue.

If this place was not discovered by Zen by accident, it would have waited here quietly for its master. The man had promised that he would definitely find it again!

There was not only one way to enter the Reincarnation Land, as the Abyss Demon Region was another way, albeit a treacherous path to take.

But despite its difficulty and danger, the Stone Mouse firmly believed that its master would definitely find it again one day!

With the mouse's guidance, Zen left the altar and walked into the darkness.

After he advanced several thousand feet, a row of low stairs appeared in front of him. He slowly climbed up the steps, and after two to three hundred steps, he felt a powerful aura emanating ahead.

The aura was quite similar to that of a soul, yet Zen knew it was impossible for one's soul to be so powerful.

“What's on the steps?” Zen asked curiously.

“You'll know it when you reach the end,” the Stone Mouse said.

It didn't take long for Zen to finally get to the top of the stairs. As he looked down, he saw millions of orbs floating in the void in front of him. His eyes shone with wonder. The orbs created a huge ocean of light.

Even the stars all over the sky paled in comparison to this magnificent sight before him.

“What is this?” Zen asked with his mouth slightly open, taken aback by the sheer beauty of the lights.

“They are Memory Flames,” No. 9527 explained to him before Zen could force the mouse to answer. “The first condition for reincarnation is to get your Memory Flame. The Stone Mouse is technically the manager here, the one that makes sure everything is as it should be. This is why even though it died, its cultivation and memory would never disappear. Anyone who wants to be reincarnated needs its help to find their Memory Flames.”
