Thinking of this, Gu Chuan didn't hesitate. He acted immediately. With a light flick of his finger, he used the technique of dividing the two worlds, completely splitting the entire Prehistoric World.
Clatter~~
In an instant, the entire Prehistoric World experienced a massive tremor. The void rumbled and quaked as all living beings felt the overwhelming vibration.
Even the gods noticed the disturbance.
"What's happening? There seems to be a major change in the Prehistoric World."
"My lord! It's my lord who has taken action. It seems he's transforming the entire world!"
"Transforming the world? My god, what kind of supernatural power is this?!"
Many gods began discussing, filled with awe. Their gazes locked onto the Prehistoric World, instinctively sensing a great opportunity unfolding.
In the eyes of the gods, the entire Prehistoric World was effortlessly split into six parts by Gu Chuan.
Among them, the world was divided into three surface realms: the Human Path, the Animal Path, and the Heavenly Path.
The Human Path is the realm where mortals dwell, with the highest cultivation level being just below immortality.
The Heavenly Path is the realm of the immortals. Any being that ascends to the immortal stage can ascend from the Human Path to the Heavenly Path.
However, it is extremely difficult for immortals to descend to the Human Path. If they do, they are heavily suppressed. Prolonged stays may even damage their foundations.
As for the Animal Path, it is a realm where countless desolate beasts, demon beasts, wild beasts, plant spirits, and more reside. These beings mostly lack self-awareness and act purely on instinct.
The Animal Path connects both the Human Path and Heavenly Path, allowing wild beasts to roam between these worlds.
Of course, the greatest difference between these three worlds lies in their flow of time.
In Gu Chuan's previous life, there was a common misconception: that one year in the mortal world was equivalent to one day in the Immortal World. In reality, the opposite is true.
It should be one day in the Human Path equals one year in the Heavenly Path. This is the correct logic.
In fact, the higher the civilization, the faster time flows.
Think about it: in the same situation, one civilization experiences 10,000 years of development while another with slower time has only developed for 100 years. Which would be more advanced?
The answer is clear — the civilization with 10,000 years of development will be more technologically advanced, and as time goes on, the gap will only widen.
The other has progressed for a million years, while you've only developed for ten thousand. How can that be compared?
The same applies here.
The Heavenly Path operates on a much faster time flow than the Human Path, and since immortals have endless lifespans, the fast passage of time doesn't affect them.
Mortals, however, with only around a hundred years of life, are more sensitive to the passing of time. This is why the misconception about time in the immortal realms exists.
It's just like how the poor might believe that the emperor eats dry buns every day, while in reality, the emperor feasts on fish from the sea and delicacies from every region of the world — it's all a matter of perspective.
Thus, using the Human Path as a reference:
• One day in the Human Path equals one year in the Heavenly Path.
• One year in the Human Path equals one day in the Animal Path.
Because of this, the Animal Path is a lower-level world with an extremely slow time flow. But its area is vast, housing countless wild beasts.
"The Underworld."
Gu Chuan turned his gaze to the Underworld. At that moment, the originally unified Underworld was also split into three realms: the Hell Path, the Asura Path, and the Hungry Ghost Path.
The Hell Path is where countless beings go after death. It acts as a transit hub where the dead temporarily reside before reincarnation.
The Samsara system would be built here, where the deceased await their next life.
Because reincarnation requires queuing, the Hell Path becomes a waiting realm. Many Underworld cities are established here to house the dead.
However, the karma of these souls varies.
Those with little or no karma may pass smoothly through Samsara and be reborn into the Human Path.
Those burdened with heavy karma — murderers, sins, crimes— will fall into the Hungry Ghost Path.
Souls in the Hungry Ghost Path are essentially evil spirits, condemned to suffer until their sins are cleansed. Only then may they escape this realm.
Otherwise, they remain, enduring endless torment.
On the other hand, some souls accumulate great merit in life. If they do not wish to reincarnate, they may enter the Asura Path.
The dead who qualify for the Asura Path were fierce warriors in life. Many retain their memories and are reincarnated as Asuras, powerful beings of combat.
Time also flows differently in these paths.
The Hell Path and Asura Path have a time flow similar to the Heavenly Path, while the Hungry Ghost Path flows a hundred times faster than the Heavenly Path.
In fact, the Hungry Ghost Path has the fastest time flow of all Six Paths.
"The time has come. Six Paths of Reincarnation, appear!"
Gu Chuan formed seals with both hands and pointed gently.
Now, the Six Paths had been established. However, the most important node that connected them was Samsara. Only Samsara could channel the souls into their proper worlds.
Clatter~~~
In an instant, the powers of the Human Path, Heavenly Path, Animal Path, Hell Path, Hungry Ghost Path, and Asura Path surged like the full might of the Prehistoric World gathering together.
Although different in nature, the Six Paths fused into one, forming a closed cycle, becoming the very core of the world.
They merged, forming a complete and endless cycle.
"It's done!"
A gleam of light flashed in Gu Chuan's eyes.
In the Hell Path, where the Yellow Springs flowed, the endless power of Dao Laws converged.
A massive sphere of white light suddenly emerged — like a sun, radiating eternal brilliance and filled with the essence of the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
This sphere was the core of all six realms.
From this Samsara Light Sphere, countless pathways emerged, each one leading to a different path.
The Human Path, Heavenly Path, Animal Path, Hell Path, Hungry Ghost Path, and Asura Path — all now interconnected by Samsara, eternally flowing in a cycle of life, death, and rebirth.
