Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 120
Chapter 120 Good ambition
“This world will become a zombie world. You… take care of yourselves.” Luo Ying, after bursting into tears, said these words to his classmates and teachers with a complicated expression before turning and running out of the school.
If he could save his classmates and teachers, he would choose to stay in school. Unfortunately, he was alone and powerless. He couldn’t save them, and he might even lose himself.
With the apocalypse approaching, Luo Ying knew there were many things he needed to prepare: food, water, weapons, tape, and so on. But none of that was most important. The most important thing was his sister!
His sister would die today, a lifelong pain!
He was determined to change this!
“Hey, Xiaozhu, don’t go outside today. Don’t open the windows. Stay home and wait for me to come back!” He called his sister Luozhu anxiously.
“Oh,” a weak voice came from the other end of the line.
His sister Luozhu was two years younger than him, a freshman in high school, and went to the same school as him. However, she had a fever today and was resting at home. A
whale zombie would land today, with tens of thousands of zombified fish in its mouth. These fish would become the root cause of the city’s transformation into a zombie lair!
In his previous life, after finally escaping from school and rushing home, he found the window open and a fish falling from the sky into his home, infecting his sister.
This life must not let that happen again!
Fortunately, there’s still some time before the whale zombies make landfall, so there’s still time.
…
My name is Luo Ying, twenty-eight years old. I was once a Level 5 Enhancer, known as the Shadow King, the strongest among humans. I almost ended the zombie crisis, but who could have imagined I would be betrayed at the critical moment, ambushed by three Level 5 Enhancers, and die with hatred.
Now I’ve been reborn ten years ago. Although my current body is that of an ordinary person, I retain the memories of the next ten years and ten years of combat experience. I must take back everything that betrayed me, everything I lost!
“In this life, I’ll be one step ahead, every step ahead. I must become a Level 6 Enhancer. No, Level 6 isn’t enough, I want to be a Level 8 Enhancer!” Luo Ying swore to the heavens as he rushed home.
“Oh, really? What an aspiration!”
Someone suddenly praised Luo Ying in his ear, startling him so much that he jumped to the side and instinctively assumed a fighting stance. His
pupils constricted as he saw the newcomer.
Totoro Jiang Li.
His mind raced. He knew nothing more about Jiang Li except that he was from another world and incredibly powerful. It seemed Mr. Jiang had already arrived in this world ten years ago.
“You are…”
Luo Ying feigned ignorance.
He considered his rebirth too bizarre. Even if he told anyone, no one would believe it, not even someone as powerful as Mr. Jiang. Furthermore, his rebirth was his biggest trump card, and he must not reveal it!
He knew Mr. Jiang, but he didn’t. He could use the information gap to establish a good relationship and learn how to become as powerful as him… Luo Ying already had a plan in mind.
“You’ve lost your memory after just a few days?” Luo Ying’s acting was so immature that Jiang Li could immediately tell he still had memories and teased.
“Ah, sir, you were also reborn ten years ago?” Luo Ying asked awkwardly.
“Rebirth, what the hell?” Jiang Li asked, wondering if there was any difference between being reborn and not being reborn. Ten years ago, he was also at the Mahayana stage. “Tell me what happened.”
Jiang Li could probably guess what had happened, but he still needed to confirm it with Luo Ying.
Luo Ying told Jiang Li everything that had happened since Jiang Li left: the impending birth of the sixth-order zombies, the chaotic fight with the fifth-order zombies, the near-saving moment when humanity was saved,
and the betrayal by his companions. “I thought I was dead, but I didn’t expect to be transported back ten years ago,” Luo Ying lamented. The whole thing was so bizarre that even after experiencing it firsthand, he still found it hard to believe he had truly been reborn.
“It’s truly miraculous.” Although he didn’t understand the specific cause, Jiang Li judged from the system’s anomaly that it was likely related to the fragments of the Immortal Ladder.
The Brahma Tower shook, and he probably knew where his zombie kingdom had gone. Since everything had returned to ten years ago, the zombies had naturally returned to their previous positions.
“Have you ever encountered anything strange?” Jiang Li asked again.
Luo Ying pondered for a moment, then suddenly realized, “Now that you’ve reminded me, it really is. I found a pendant when I was sorting through my parents’ belongings. I had a wound on my hand at the time, and blood rubbed against the pendant, which then transformed into a stream of light and entered my body.”
“But I didn’t notice any effect, so I didn’t pay much attention. Are you saying that my rebirth is due to the pendant?”
Jiang Li nodded. The pendant should be a fragment of the ladder to immortality, but for some reason it was in the shape of a pendant.
“Old Bai, help me contact the Immortal Master.” Jiang Li called Bai Hongtu, asking about the almighty Immortal Master Changcun.
Jiang Li briefly recounted the incident. Immortal Changcun thought for a moment and said, “Theoretically, it is possible. The Ladder to Immortality is the most proud creation of the Immortal Realm. It was built by many powerful people and contains the way of space, the way of time, the way of cause and effect, and so on.”
“The speed of time in each world is different, and in order to unify, the Immortal Realm uses the Ladder to Immortality together with all the worlds to adjust the speed of time in all the worlds to the same speed as the Immortal Realm.”
“If, as you said, there are fragments of the Ladder to Immortality in this child’s body, maybe it is the part that contains the way of time. In order to prevent the host from dying, time will be turned back.”
“It should be that only the time of that world is turned back. The power of the fragments of the Ladder to Immortality is not enough to turn back the time of all the heavens and worlds. Now in Jiuzhou, it is still the 4801st year of the Yan calendar.”
Jiang Li understood why the system had only reacted now. Before, there were fragments of the Ladder to Immortality on Luo Ying’s body, but there was no movement, and the system could not detect it. When Luo Ying died, the fragments of the Ladder to Immortality turned back time, and the system detected it.
Immortal Changcun continued, “You want to extract the fragments of the Immortal Ladder from this child? I don’t know how to do it.”
Jiang Li said confidently, “It’s okay, I have a way.”
“What is it?” Immortal Changcun was curious.
“Just help this child resolve the zombie crisis.”
Immortal Changcun felt that Jiang Li was seriously ill.
Due to the language barrier, Luo Ying couldn’t understand what Jiang Li and the old man were saying, but intuitively, it seemed like they were talking about him.
Jiang Li turned and said to Luo Ying, “Luo Ying, how about we make a deal? I’ll help you get rid of the zombies, and you’ll give me the thing that will bring you back to life.”
Luo Ying was overjoyed. With this powerful person’s help, the zombies would be strangled in their cradle, saving countless lives. Naturally, he agreed.
Seeing the two people’s happy conversation, Changcun Xianweng couldn’t help but pour cold water on them.
“Jiang Li, don’t say I didn’t warn you, you may not be able to directly influence this world, you can only transmit information such as sound.”
“Huh?”
