“What’s reset?” Xiao Shi asked in a low voice. He had to first find out if the reset that the other party mentioned was the same as what he understood.

“The so-called reset… means that every 300 years, the Beginner Martial Era will reset and return to 300 years ago. Everything that has happened in these 300 years will be erased, and this world will return to what it was 300 years ago.

“Even those who died in these 300 years will be resurrected. Be it your body, cultivation, or memories, they will all reset and go back to 300 years ago. It includes all the buildings, the regions, and so on. In short, everything in the Beginner Martial Era will be reset. No one will be spared.

“And so on and so on. This… is the reset of the Beginner Martial Era!”

The silver-haired and silver-eyed Daolord’s words were undoubtedly a bolt of lightning. It exploded in Xiao Shi’s mind!

Although he had already learned through the Record of the Upper Three Realms of Martial Arts that this alternate space that had been exiled in the Beginner Martial Era could stop time, he did not expect that time would not stop here.

Instead, it kept resetting!

“In other words, under this reset of the Beginner Martial Era, even if you have already entered the Beginner Martial Era for many years, you are still the same as when you first entered the Beginner Martial Era? But if that’s the case, how did you transcend and become a Daolord?”

Xiao Shi felt that this did not make sense. When everything was reset, even if they successfully mastered the Dao here, they would be reset. Unless he chose to leave the Beginner Martial Era before it reset after taking charge of the Dao. This might be able to preserve the Dao he controlled. Otherwise, according to the other party’s words, even if he successfully mastered the Dao, he would be reset.

“You have to know that we are not from the Beginner Martial Era. We are all outsiders from other eras.” The silver-haired and silver-eyed Daolord said, “To us outsiders, although we will also be reset, we won’t be completely reset like the people of the Beginner Martial Era.

“We have three aspects that will not be reset. Firstly, our memories will not be reset. Otherwise, we would not have known that the Beginner Martial Era was constantly being reset.

“Secondly, our strength, cultivation, and body will not be reset. If we can successfully master the Dao in 300 years, even after reset, we will still have the Dao of the Beginner Martial Era.

“Third, our lifespans will not be reset. This also means… that we can’t live forever under the reset of the Beginner Martial Era. If we die, we will really die. We won’t be revived under the reset of the Beginner Martial Era.”

Xiao Shi nodded. To a certain extent, this reset of the Beginner Martial Era indeed allowed these people from the Beginner Martial Era to obtain eternal life. But the price of eternal life was to stay in these 300 years forever. It kept repeating. There was no future. It was no wonder that other eras had been destroyed in the long history. Yet as the first era of the Tianwu Continent, the Beginner Martial Era had always existed.

“Of course. If you are afraid of death and want to have eternal life under the Beginner Martial Era, you can also choose to join the Beginner Martial Era. For outsiders like us from other eras, we have a chance to choose to join the Beginner Martial Era.

“Once you join, you will completely become a part of the Beginner Martial Era and enjoy eternal life under reset. There were once some people from other eras who chose to join the Beginner Martial Era after entering this place.” The silver-haired and silver-eyed Daolord said.

For some people, this kind of eternal life was not a bad choice. Although there was no future, they could live forever for 300 years. However, to Xiao Shi, this was not the life he wanted. He would definitely not choose to join the Beginner Martial Era.

“How many resets have you been through?” Xiao Shi asked in confusion.

“As for me, this should be the eighth reset.” The silver-haired and silver-eyed Daolord sighed.

“The eighth time?” Xiao Shi was surprised. He felt that the timing did not match at all. According to the other party, the Beginner Martial Era would reset every 300 years. If it was only the eighth reset, only 2,400 years had passed.

Unless… The flow of time in the Beginner Martial Era was different from outside.

“I once suspected that this was because the time flow in the Beginner Martial Era was different from the era outside, but after all these years of speculation and summary, I realized… When the Beginner Martial Era began to reset, the entire Beginner Martial Era would fall into a pause in time. I don’t know for how long, but it would at least pause for more than ten thousand years.

“To people like us who are in the Beginner Martial Era, we can’t sense the pause in time at all. Every reset seems to only take an instant, but this instant has actually been many years outside.”

The reason why he made this discovery was when the silver-haired and silver-eyed Daolord experienced the reset for the third time, a Sage outside happened to enter the Beginner Martial Era.

It had been nearly a hundred thousand years since the era of the silver-haired and silver-eyed Daolord. But the silver-haired and silver-eyed Daolord had only spent 900 years in the Beginner Martial Era..
