After the Full-Level Boss is Reborn c1

Rebirth

General CW: There are mentions/depictions of sexual assault, child abuse, and extreme violence and the results of them throughout this novel. If any of this is too much, you should avoid reading this story.

Black clouds rolled like ink, and white rain jumped on beads, splashing on the eaves.

Several people huddled under the eaves to shelter from the rain.

A young man in a hanfu looked up at the heavy black clouds, smiling but not smiling, and said: “Looking at this posture, isn’t there someone who can overcome the calamity?”

(T/N: hanfu is a traditional Chinese dress from before the Qing Dynasty)

As soon as the voice fell, the thunder snake wandered in the clouds, and the electric light shone, reflecting everyone’s faces blue and white.

After stiffening for a while, the seemingly older man in a qipao sighed, “Don’t say that. Everyone knows that the calamity of heaven is the punishment of heaven. The great power can overcome the calamity, but the thunder calamity leaves behind hundreds of miles of scorched earth. No life can escape. If someone really crosses the calamity here, do we still have a way to survive?”

(T/N: qipao is traditional Chinese dress that came from the Manchu people starting from the Qing Dynasty onward)

A teenager curled his lips, disdainfully, “Is it so mysterious?”

“Ignorant child!” The man in a qipao pointed to the dark shadow that was mostly covered by the dark clouds in the distance, “Do you know what that is?”

Everyone followed and looked over.

Splashing ink world, misty clouds.

The mountains hidden behind the clouds are plain white, and the top of the mountain is covered with snow, and the wind and frost are endless.

Staring for a long time, you can see the ghosts, and the sound of mourning and weeping sounded in the ears.

As a drop of cold water fell into the boiling oil, everyone was shocked and scrambled to discuss it.

“This, what the hell is this?”

“Just now I saw people, no, ghosts in there! They were crying!”

“Isn’t it summer? Why is it still snowing there! I’m dazzled?”

The qipao man coughed a few times, with a slightly complacent expression, and said slowly: “Four hundred years ago, the Gushan Immortal Sect was also very prosperous. Within a thousand miles, no matter aristocratic family or street commoner, everyone can enter. People of the Immortal Sect are proud to be a disciple of the outer sect. If the ancestors of Zeyou were lucky enough to enter the Six Peaks, that would be ascending to the sky in one step, and even the emperor of the secular world would be concerned.”

“It’s just a pity that the Immortal Sect was guilty of the heaven’s crime and was sent a punishment by heaven. None of the three thousand disciples survived, and they were trapped in this square inch of land with the pain of being ordered to perish day and night.” He looked up. Looking at the lonely mountain covered by wind and snow, “Gushan, where life and death are blocked, is always covered with frost.”

At this point, many people are puzzled, “Since it is the gate of cultivating immortals, the towering method of walking, and the blessing of heaven, how can you suddenly suffer such misfortune.”

The man in qipao sighed again, “Because of one person.”

He looked around and saw that everyone was confused, and when he cleared his throat and was about to speak, he suddenly stopped.

The teenager yelled, “Hey! Don’t just stop!”

The man in qipao ignored him and looked at the corner blankly.

The woman is looking up, standing under the eaves listening to the rain.

Her surroundings were empty, with nothing but mist and wind and rain.

She stood among the world, as if she was beyond the mundane world.

“Girl, do you know why?” The qipao man bowed his hand and asked respectfully.

The woman tilted her head and looked over here.

Everyone couldn’t help taking a breath.

Her face was mottled, as if it had been bitten by something, covered with blood-red scars, and nothing was intact.

There are only double autumn water-like eyes, and a light glance through the mist of water vapor, it is like a hot star, which makes people’s hearts tremble unconsciously.

The woman’s pale paper lips moved slightly.

Her voice was rough and weird, and her words were illegible, just like when a babbling child opened her mouth for the first time.

Everyone was stunned before distinguishing the two words as “Pei Yu”.

Then there was a long silence.

No one dared to discuss the blood demon with jade.

The qipao person only revealed his identity at this moment, “I’m telling everyone, I was a disciple of the outer sect of Gushan, and I just went home to visit relatives on the day of the punishment, so that I can escape this calamity. For hundreds of years, every day, I will always come back for condolences.”

He looked at the howling ghosts from a distance, raised his hand and wiped the water in the corner of his eye, “I don’t know when the brothers and sisters can get rid of this misery and enter reincarnation again.”

The teenager frowned, “Then… the blood demon, what does it have to do with Gushan? Why do you say that the punishment is related to her?”

The qipao man was silent for a long time before slowly saying: “Four hundred years ago, the blood demon Pei Yu was a disciple on the Shouxian Peak of the Gushan Mountain. It was my senior sister.”

Everyone sighed, who would have thought that the blood demon of the Dao Sect who killed people without blinking would have been a disciple of the Immortal Sect?

“Senior Sister Pei Yu has a peerless appearance and unparalleled qualifications. She has built a foundation for ten years and is a hundred years old. She is more compassionate and treats us disciples who are outside kindly. Beyond the clouds, everyone in the world praises it.”

Some people didn’t believe it, and retorted: “Then how can she become a blood demon?”

The man in qipao said melancholy: “In my year, the senior sister saved a woman in the Land of Every Devil.”

“The Land of Every Devil? The nascent soul cultivator went in and experienced nine deaths. How capable is your senior sister and can save people in it?”

The man in qipao smiled, his eyes were half reminiscence, half sorrow, “Of course she is not an ordinary monk, but she is a jade.”

(T/N: when describing things as a jade, it means she was a genius with unparalleled talents)

Everyone was silent again.

Judging yin and yang with only one hand, and discussing life and death in one stroke, if that person is not against the heavens and became a demon, she will definitely be a stunning talent in the realm of cultivation.

The predecessors couldn’t do it, but if she is Pei Yu, it seems to become a matter of course.

The man in qipao looked up at the miserable wind and rain in the sky, and sighed: “That woman is outstanding, and the senior sister met her very happily and regarded her as irresistible. Later, the woman was seriously injured and needs Wuhua to save her life.”

“The mythical beast?!”

The man in qipao nodded, “The beast Wuhua, who is instructed by the heavens, is connected with Gushan’s luck… The woman tricked the senior sister into stealing Wuhua, using their hands to design it to kill and skin it.”

Everyone took a breath.

Born in the heavens, the Wuhua divine beast, which was bred for thousands of years, died so miserably.

“The sacred animal died with hatred, Gushan was guilty of heaven’s crime; 3,674 disciples, innocent, dragged to death harder than the sky, and the soul is prevented from reincarnation.”

Hearing this, some people were indignant, “Who is that wicked woman! So vicious!”

The man in qipao looked around, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly, “If you want to know, you are all very familiar. That woman got the inner alchemy of the beast, cultivated for a thousand miles, and a hundred years later, she became the strongest person in the immortal world, established a sect, and named it Heavenly Dao.”

The crowd was full of noise.

“What nonsense are you talking about? Immortal Venerable Sui Han is the most glamorous noble and benevolent character, how could it be possible to do such a thing?”

Another said: “I think you are clearly a gorefiend, you are talking about such a strange thing as a bluff! You want to disturb people’s hearts!”

The man in qipao just smiled melancholy.

“Four hundred years have passed, black and white are reversed, good and evil are reversed, and even heaven is blinded… But there are always people who will never forget.”

“If what you said is true, isn’t the blood demon very innocent?” The teenager frowned and asked.

The woman suddenly walked into a river of wind and rain, her black robe agitated, the stars and temples wet by the rain, quietly hung down on her face.

“She has no eyes and can’t know people clearly, so that she pays for her evil consequences, harms others and herself, and is not innocent.”

When everyone saw her standing alone, her body and shadow hung each other, and her voice was sad and hopeless, like a Changhong weeping blood, and their hearts were shocked. They woke up when the lingering figure disappeared in the rain.

(T/N: Changhong is a brand)

“Who is this person?”

The qipao man’s expression is solemn, “No one knows the old things about Gushan. If anyone else is so familiar, then probably only…”

He leaned down and made a long stroke in the direction where the woman was leaving.

Pei Yu walked slowly up the snow-covered stone steps.

Just like when she first entered the Immortal Sect.

On the Thousand Sections of Heaven, there are many bones.

At the time of the punishment, they were just starting to practice.

The children who are full of hope for the future climbed up step by step, looking at the end immediately, and suddenly the black cloud pressed on top, and the thunder shook.

To the last moment of their lives, these young children still struggled to escape from this tomb.

They wanted to live.

After Pei Yu’s walk, white skeletons tremble with snow on their body, swayed to their feet, and followed her in silence.

After the steps, it is the Dao Mountain.

The jade platform was slumped, the old flags were dyed blood red, some were still blowing in the wind, and some were rotten in the soil.

At the four corners of the high platform, the four white skeletons were sitting cross-legged, the robes on their body were not rotted, and there was a little blood on their front.

Seeing her coming, the skeletons also swayed and stood upright, following the queue.

Pei Yu walked up to the questioning platform and placed her hand on the questioning stone that was still shining white.

Everything in front of her suddenly turned dark, and then the clouds opened and rained, and it suddenly became clear again.

On Gushan, the green hills and green trees are very beautiful.

A group of high-spirited teenagers flew over here with clouds.

“Pei Yu, Pei Yu, what are you still doing here? The morning meeting is about to come, come here!”

They smiled among the clouds and waved to her.

Pei Yu raised her head, and thousands of sword lights rose from the peaks, passing through the air like a massive meteor shower.

The young people above the flying sword, with the shining light above their heads and the sea of ​​clouds with their feet, laughed wantonly and brilliantly.

Pei Yu withdrew her hand.

The exhibition is full of miserable wind and snow all over the world, urging people to break their hearts.

Prosperous and magnificent, all eyes are empty, four hundred years, the total is a dream.

She looked back at the long line of white skeletons behind her. In the old days, the young woman was full of clouds, full of spirit, and dared to try to compete with the heavens; but now, there are thousands of miles of clouds, thousands of mountains and snow, and the desolate soul is heavy, and only the shadows are lingering.

“Do you hate me?”

The low voice immediately disappeared in the whimpering wind.

The skeletons opened their black eyes and looked at her quietly.

Damn it, Pei Yu thought.

She hated herself for having eyes and no beads, and having a bad heart, and hurting the lives of three thousand disciples in Gushan.

(T/N: having no eyes and no beads meaning she was not able to see the true face of people)

She was pushed down from the Ten Thousand Demons Cave by her ‘best friend’ personally during the calamity of Gushan.

“You owe me this,” Sui Han’s eyes were full of disgust. “Can you pay me back for the lives of my parents and relatives? Can you? You owe me!”

At the bottom of the Ten Thousand Demons Cave, ten thousand demons devour their hearts, there is death and no life.

Four hundred years later, she became the master of the Heavenly Dao Sect and the strongest person in the immortal world. However, the unjust soul of Gushan still suffers from the punishment of heaven day and night, and will never be liberated.

Until the night of wind and rain, someone crawled out of the Demons Cave, brought tens of thousands of demon soldiers, against the laws of the heavens, and washed the heavens with blood.

The ice muscle and bones are no longer, and the face is hideous like a ghost.

The fairy outside the cloud is dead, and the blood demon is born with hatred.

Pei Yu walked up to Shouxian Peak, followed by a long string of dead souls.

The sky was thundering, the black clouds were overwhelming, and the rain seemed to be getting heavier.

Four hundred years ago, Shouxian Peak was like Changchun in all four seasons, and it was a verdant green. Among the rustling flowers and leaves, orioles and swallows were tweeting.

(T/N: Changchun is a province in China)

Peak Master Huai Bai doesn’t like to practice hard, doesn’t like wind and snow, and is fascinated by the fragrance of birds, flowers, wine and delicacies, not like a sword cultivator.

Pei Yu looked at the thick layer of frost above the green leaves, thinking, Master would be unhappy to see Shouxian Peak become like this.

Her footsteps paused, and she continued to walk forward unhurriedly.

Master will not be angry… Master loves her most.

It was just a drop of red water running down the corner of the eye, and it immediately condensed into ice when it fell on the ground.

At the peak, the wind and snow roared, hunting in black.

Pei Yu swipes casually.

A long river fell from the Ninth Heaven, and slowly flowed past her eyes.

The thunder was louder, and it seemed that the sky was roaring unwillingly.

“I was the one who attracted the Yellow Springs, so what can you do to me?” Pei Yu turned around and made a way out.

(T/N: Yellow Springs is the Chinese equivalent to Hell or Hades)

The skeletons behind her slowly walked into the Yellow Springs following her guidance.

“Do you hate me?” she asked again.

Naturally, the skeletons will not answer.

Pei Yu’s expression turned, and a scarlet light flashed in her eyes, “They naturally hate you.” She licked the corners of her lips and asked herself.

“What right do you have to ask for forgiveness for a person like you?”

She covered her head, “I don’t know, I really don’t know… I didn’t mean it.”

“It’s ridiculous, can you push all the responsibility away without purpose? They all died for you, they died for you!”

The wind and snow were getting stronger, and all the ghosts seemed to be infected with her emotions, and they all mourned and wept.

Pei Yu knelt on the ground, supporting the ground with her hands, “Stop talking, please, stop talking!”

Suddenly, the wind stopped abruptly and everything fell silent.

Pei Yu looked up foolishly.

The woman in front of her smiled softly and harmlessly, her hands folded in her sleeves, her eyebrows were like curved feathers, and her voice was like beads falling on a jade plate.

“When you see your teacher, you don’t speak Pei Yu?”

The scene before her turned back to more than four hundred years ago.

In the spring of the rain, the woman has a green feather cloak with a long jade body, half leaning against the flower tree, with a rusty spring flower folded in her hand.

“The long smile is wide, and the fairy wind blows the jade.” The woman stared at the flower branch in her hand and sighed: “Pei Yu…”

(T/N: the long smile is wide, and the fairy wind blows the jade is the meaning behind Pei Yu’s name; it comes from a poem)

“Master, Master…” she called tremblingly.

The spring rain became ice, the spring flowers withered, and the woman became an ignorant skeleton, standing in front of her blankly.

Master has been dead for four hundred years.

Pei Yu turned her head and watched the white skeleton stepping into the Yellow Springs idiotically, “Master, after you enter the cycle of reincarnation, remember to become a good person… Don’t cultivate immortality anymore.”

“If there is an afterlife, I will protect you for the rest of your life.”

After the last injustice was over, the Yellow Springs flowed into the underworld again.

In the independent wind and snow, Pei Yu removed all the devilish energy from her body and shed all her cultivation base on the ground with a radius of a hundred miles.

When the thunder roar came, Pei Yu closed her eyes.

After the ninety-nine heaven thunders passed, the clouds and the rain were all over, and bright colors passed through, everything was fine.

When the great power crosses the calamity, there are hundreds of miles of scorched earth; when the great demon crosses the calamity, not even a tree was hurt.

The wind and snow that had been raging on Gushan for four hundred years finally stopped. A kingfisher flew tired and stopped on the snow-covered branch, tweeting a few times.

As if going back to four hundred years ago, after the beginning of a snowstorm, the young girls shook their heads and read in the bookstore——

How erratic is the world on earth?

If you see fire from the stone, you can watch the electricity through the gap.

The firefly extinguishes when it sees the morning, and disappears when it sees the sun…

Leaving nothing.

Next Chapter

---

Translator here! Just wanted to let you know that this story will be updated every other day along with I Want to be Alone, Beautifully. This one will be released at 10 AM EST.

EDIT: So I believe the first chapter can be confusing for people to read so I’ll explain what’s going on in parts:
1. The man in qipao is a former disciple of Gushan Sect and was telling the story of what happened to Gushan to the villagers near where Gushan is located.
2. The woman is Pei Yu and she came back to Gushan to end the calamity.
3. She used her powers to call the Yellow Springs to take the souls of the sect to the underworld so that they can reenter the cycle of reincarnation while also ending the punishment of Heaven.
4. She has occasional flashbacks to what the sect was like before it was punished, so the scene with the disciples and the scene with her Master were just flashbacks.
5. When her eyes flashed red, she became a different person and was talking to herself similar to having a split personality.
6. The last part is alluding to the fact that this world is a story being read and they read the end of it.

EDIT 2: I realized that there are a lot of uncomfortable things that happen in this novel, so I added a CW (content warning) at the top for anyone new getting into this. That was my bad for forgetting to include it in the first place. It’s a general CW because there’s just a lot of it and the themes of this novel involve telling about the ugliness of people.
