Additionally, he might also possess an ability similar to spatial traveling, appearing and disappearing in an instant, which does seem similar to the previous situation with Saint...

Eh, I used to think I was strong enough.

Even if not the best, I was at least one of the strongest people on this planet, capable of protecting those around me.

Now it seems, the waters of this world are deeper than I imagined..."

Having died once.

Dean's mentality was somewhat melancholic and sentimental, yet also somewhat relieved.

Melancholic, because he realized his powerlessness in changing his plight.

Relieved, because he was grateful to have a good daughter.

It was thanks to his daughter that he had hooked Brian, a potential stock.

Had it been a son...

Listening to Dean's melancholic words, Brian smiled and said,

"Long's sudden appearances and disappearances are not spatial traveling but dimensional traveling.

The place we are now is independent of the Material Realm and exists in the Fourth Dimension, which you can call the Spirit Realm.

I have this ability as well.

As for the threat of Long,

Dean, don't worry, I'll take care of him and help you get your revenge.

For now, let's first address your situation."

"My situation?"

Dean was momentarily stunned, then realization dawned upon him, and he exclaimed joyfully, "Are you saying that I'm not dead?"

Brian shook his head and gestured with his hand.

The space around them split open.

A body in a fighting stance appeared before them, Dean's own corpse.

But perhaps due to the particularity of the space,

this corpse still retained the vitality it had when Brian had taken it into his care; were it not for the large hole in the chest and the missing heart, it almost looked no different than a living person.

Seeing one's own corpse was a very peculiar experience.

However, Dean was even more astonished by Brian's power and methods.

He even suspected that all this might just be his own fantasy right before death.

Otherwise, it would be too outrageous.

How old was Brian?

Dean had quietly pulled his own strings to check on him, making sure of every detail, including at what age Brian had lost his virginity, whether any of his former clients had children... everything was investigated thoroughly, for fear that his daughter would be at a disadvantage in the future.

It could be said that Brian really began to make his mark only after last year's Blood Moon.

Considering from then until now, it had been less than two years.

Two years...

Too short.

Any rational person would find it hard to believe that by now, Brian's power had already surpassed Third Rank Life and reached a domain Dean himself could not comprehend.

...

Brian patted Dean's shoulder to break his reverie.

He pointed to Dean's corpse and said,

"With the aid of this Heart Domain Space, I have the ability to preserve a Spiritual Imprint that carries memories, which can be understood as a person's soul, containing the basic forces of the Cosmic Rules. As long as the soul and memories exist, it's basically the same as not being dead.

Dean, you now have two choices.

One option is for me to help you create a new embryo, then you would reincarnate as an infant with your memories, living a new life.

The advantage is that you can choose a new Enhancement path and become a Third Rank Life, not being stranded by the Beastification People's path.

The downside is that the embryo is very fragile in the early stages.

For a long period, you'd be in a state of instinctive consciousness.

Memories would need to wait until your body gradually matures to slowly awaken."

Upon hearing this, Dean was shocked, "Doesn't that mean immortality?"

The flesh decays, yet one carries memories into reincarnation.

That's too outrageous!

If the outside world knew that Brian had such an ability, they would surely go mad!

Brian shook his head,

"It's not that simple.

A person's lifespan is actually composed of two parts: the body and the soul (consciousness, brainwaves).

I have studied this; the soul of an ordinary person, even in my Heart Domain Space, has a theoretical lifespan limit of around one hundred and fifty years.

So even if I were to transfer the brainwaves of some ordinary people into reincarnation,

in reality, they could only live for a few decades in their second lives and would have to die.

All in all, it's difficult to exceed 150 years in total.

First Rank and Second Rank Lives have stronger consciousness and cell vitality over ordinary people.

According to my calculations,

a normal First Rank enhancer could live up to one hundred and fifty years without injury.

A Second Rank Life could live up to two hundred years.

That's the lifespan of their bodies and souls.

Third Rank Life is completely different.

At this stage, the soul begins to morph from formless brainwaves and gradually can affect the magnetic field.

Based on my estimation,

a Third Rank Life, as long as they remain uninjured and their Life Magnetism does not collapse, should be able to live up to about five hundred years.

Therefore, reincarnation doesn't mean you can refresh the age of the soul.

Essentially, how long you can live still depends on the strength of the soul, not the theoretical lifespan of the body."

Brian's explanation was a bit convoluted,

but Dean, being a Third Rank Life, had already stepped into the threshold of understanding the soul, so he understood Brian's intent quite easily.

After all, it was precisely because his heart was removed and his Life Magnetism was broken that he had met a direct and tragic death.

Otherwise, under normal circumstances, even if his body was crippled or his brain shattered, he could heal himself with his strong life vitality; at most, due to brain damage, he might lose some memory.

This was because the Third Rank is not the Fourth Rank; the soul is only an embryonic form, unable to fully separate from the flesh and carry its own memory.

The fact that beings like Saint could sense and enter the Spirit Realm at Third Rank is due to exceptional talent and cannot be taken as the norm.
