Chapter 1181: Life and Death (1)
Editor: Henyee Translations

Looking at the children playing around in the Chaos Origin Palace, Shen Ping’s face was filled with thought. These children of the God Race had been created by him recently. Among them, there were already more than 15,000 life elements that were the most complicated.

But he knew very well that there was still a long way to go before he could truly comprehend the Laws of Life. After all, the life elements in a Dark Beast’s body were as high as 330,000. He suspected that Elder Qingyuan of Black River Hall had yet to fully comprehend the Laws of Life.

It was impossible for Qingyuan to dissect the corpse of the dark beast, so Qingyuan should have dissected and studied the Law of Life from another path. However, the more he understood the Law of Life, the more he understood the profoundness of this law.

No wonder even Elder Yun Dong did not continue with this law.

The Law of Life seemed ordinary, but it was actually a true Great Dao. Compared to time, it was not very eye-catching, but it pierced through the entire Chaotic Mother Stream. As long as there were living beings, there would be Laws of Life.

“Husband! You’ve been neglecting sleep and food to study and cultivate these days. Aren’t you being too persistent? Sometimes, you have to relax.” After Wang Yun, Yu Yan, Pei Huoyu, and the other wives and Dao companions finished their seclusion, they walked into the palace and came to Shen Ping’s side to massage his shoulders and back. Bai Yuying and Luo Qing brought the newly concocted Time Tea to Shen Ping.

He took a sip and praised, “Not bad. There’s indeed a reason why this Time Tea can become popular in the Upper River Zone. It actually contains a trace of laws. You guys are very considerate. I just can’t really relax at the moment. Even if I have Elder Yun Dong helping me, I don’t have much time.”

He rubbed the corner of his eyebrow. He couldn’t say that he was depressed, but he felt that he still needed a long time to comprehend the Laws of Life.

Bai Yuying couldn’t help but say, “Qingyuan and Nine Lights are too much. They actually came to our past to bully us. Hmph, if they have the ability, they should start the battle of the Chaos now. I’ll definitely kill all those fellows in the Chaos.”

The battles before the Primordial Chaos Realm were also very intense. However, as long as the Chaos did not collapse and the laws did not die, they could continue to exist. Therefore, no one in the Primordial Chaos Realm was afraid of the Chaos War and they dared to take risks in the Chaos beyond the river.

Although there was a chance of encountering a dark beast, the chances were very low.

Ji Qing Tong, Hun Ling, Yun Tian, Yuan Chu, Huang Yuan, and Huo Rong had been traveling in the Chaos outside the river for the past few years. They have too much time on their hands, so they could tour every resplendent civilization to their heart’s content.

However, Shen Ping could not do that. Now that his wife, concubines, and Dao companions knew about his situation, Shen Ping did not intend to hide it.

Yu Qingling nodded. “Yes, they’re bullying you because you’ve just become invincible at the Primordial Chaos Realm. If you comprehend the laws of time, I think they won’t dare to be so arrogant again.”

His wife, concubines, and Dao Companions consoled him one after another. Shen Ping smiled. “It’s just a competition of ideologies.”

Qiu Ying, who was beside him, said, “Husband, can these bloodlines of the God Race you created reproduce?”

“Reproduce…” Shen Ping was stunned for a moment before shaking his head. “No, many lives nurtured by the Chaos Origin can’t reproduce. Some are even unique. It doesn’t matter if they can reproduce or not.”

However, Pei Huoyu said, “Husband, if a race can’t reproduce, it’s destined to be unable to become a powerful race. The God Race is the bloodline you created. They are your children. If they are born with flaws, they won’t be able to rise in the future.”

Wang Yun and Yu Yan nodded. Shen Ping frowned. “You all think reproduction is important?”

Qiu Ying said, “It’s not important, but I feel that something is missing. A race reproduces to maintain fresh blood, but if an individual is strong, there’s no need to reproduce.”

Mu Jin said, “I don’t think there’s a need for reproduction. Every reincarnation of the Nine Provinces Chaos will give birth to a few unique Dao Lords. They’re born Dao Lords and don’t need to reproduce at all. They’re a powerful race themselves, and no one dares to provoke them.”

Ying Yue and Luo Qing shook their heads instead. “Individual strength is important, but the fresh blood brought by reproduction is necessary to maintain a race. A living race that can reproduce also represents unlimited potential.”

“The Mother Stream of Chaos gave birth to countless races. However, no matter which Chaos it was, the races that could reproduce occupied the mainstream. It was precisely because they could reproduce that they created brilliant civilizations. If they were all strong individually, this Chaos was destined to be weak. It was destined to self-destruct.”

His wives and concubines began discussing among themselves.

Shen Ping fell silent. He really didn’t care about reproduction. Ever since he became a Dao Lord, he didn’t have any need to reproduce. He was already so powerful, so he didn’t need any descendants. Plus, he had many descendants before.

However, reproduction was indeed the mainstream of every Chaos. If there were no living beings that reproduced, their numbers would decrease once they die in battle, no matter how strong an individual was. For example, dark beasts were extremely powerful individually and could not reproduce. Therefore, their numbers would decrease, especially when the number of emperor beasts decreased and the number of beast kings increased. The entire dark river would become extremely empty.

When there were only beast kings left, these dark beasts would head towards the source of the dark river.

Thinking of this, he suddenly woke up. The10,000 hidden life elements in the 330,000 life elements of the dark beasts was probably not as simple as forming a void. It was very likely that they had destructive elements.
