Defining rules — that sort of thing could also be counted as a small-scale dress rehearsal of creation.
It’s essentially the same idea as, after making a world, setting down a Heavenly Dao rule for it.
A simple reincarnation rule is just one facet of that.
Qin Yi always felt like he was experiencing creation from all kinds of angles, bits and pieces of it …
For this group of Taqing working together, setting the rule for a single aspect was a relatively easy operation, not very difficult — back in the day even the Phoenix Sovereign could do it herself.
The main difficulty had always been the argument over “how the rule should be.” They used to tear at each other over it until heaven and earth seemed to break.
Now there wasn’t much left to argue.
Since Yaoguang willingly bound herself and offered submission, even though later she recovered her old pride in appearance, the meaning hadn’t changed: she’d given Qin Yi the final say.
As for Liusu … after that little city life, she hardly ever voiced opinions on this kind of thing anymore.
The reason was simple.
She found she couldn’t speak for the way mortal people thought.
Mortals today had degenerated; what they wanted now was more often to live peacefully and make a living.
It was nothing like in the ancient past when everyone chased after the Near Dao.
