Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 137

Chapter 137 The Dust Settles (Thanks to the book friend Xiaoyi for the reward)

Thousands of light-years away, a group of high-level zombies, the likes of which Luo Ying had never seen before, sat cross-legged, unable to form the fundamental seal, chanting: “Shadow King Buddha is the master of the Three Thousand Worlds, attaining infinite Dharma and receiving the prophecy… I feel Shadow King Buddha’s response!”

One zombie exclaimed joyfully, “Indeed, indeed, I feel the same.”

“We were in a state of confusion, and it is Shadow King Buddha’s messenger who awakens us. We should sincerely chant the sutra and praise his greatness.”

The chanting grew louder, threatening to resonate throughout the universe.

Currently, only zombies above the fourth rank believe in Shadow King Buddha. If all zombies did, Luo Ying would be far beyond the lowly stage of Divine Transformation.

The power of faith is not determined by the level of the believer, but only by their number and sincerity.

“

Who told this whale to be an outlier, suddenly awakening and advancing?”

Jiang Li said helplessly. He hadn’t wanted to resort to such tactics in the first place. Exposure to the power of faith at such a young age wasn’t good; it could easily lead to dependency, hindering future development. But there was always room for improvement.

“Anyway, everyone’s all safe and sound, that’s cause for celebration,” Jiang Li clapped dryly.

Brahma Tower worried, “Those scriptures belong to the great Buddhas and Bodhisattvas of the Celestial Realm. You’ve tampered with their sources without permission, aren’t you afraid they’ll come and retaliate?”

Jiang Li was unconcerned. “If they manage to come down, they’ll just ask for directions to the Celestial Realm. Besides, this is a great deed that will save hundreds of millions of people; they’ll understand.”

“Kill all the zombies in one fell swoop.”

Luo Ying didn’t complain. Besides the fact that his followers were zombies, he had nothing to lose. Gaining the power of the Spiritual Transformation Stage was something many could only dream of.

This wasn’t a temporary power. As long as zombies continued to worship him, he could maintain the Spiritual Transformation Stage, making him a king on this planet, capable of making clouds and rain with a flick of his hand.

Under Jiang Li’s divine sense, no one, whether hiding underground or in the deep sea, could escape.

If Luo Ying only had a second-level enhancer, Jiang Li would have had to teach him the Water Avoidance Technique to reach the deep sea, which would have been quite troublesome. But now, Luo Ying could go anywhere.

Luo Ying, constantly in his Dharma form, traveled the world. The people in the safe zone were stunned by the agile movements of the tens-of-meter-tall Buddha statue.

Commander Wang of Fulin District also witnessed this scene, remembering Jiang Li’s promise of seeing results in a month.

“Did I use all my four thousand brain cores to build the Buddha statue?”

As the last zombie was reduced to ashes, the system’s timer stopped.

[Congratulations to the host for completing the task. Now extracting all fragments of the Immortal Ladder from Luo Ying’s body.]

A golden light flashed from Luo Ying’s body and landed in Jiang Li’s hands.

[This system can store the fragments of the Immortal Ladder on the host’s behalf. Do you wish to save them?]

Jiang Li flatly refused and placed the fragments in his storage ring.

“Is this the fragment of the Heavenly Ladder to Immortality that Mr. Jiang has been searching for?”

Luo Ying and Luo Zhu curiously gazed at the small piece of gold in Jiang Li’s hand. It looked like ordinary gold foil.

This was Jiang Li’s first time seeing a fragment. He scanned it with his spiritual sense and discovered that it contained extremely complex laws. However, these laws were incomplete and would likely require the addition of other fragments before they could be used.

And as he had expected, only a tiny amount of energy remained in the fragment, not enough to allow Luo Ying to be reborn again.

“Mr. Jiang, will we have a chance to go to Jiuzhou?” Luo Ying and Luo Zhu looked at Jiang Li expectantly. Having spent the past few months with Jiang Li, they had heard him tell them many strange stories about Jiuzhou and were deeply drawn to the region.

“It’s probably difficult right now. I can’t influence your world within ten years, and you can’t reach the level of Shattered Void in ten years either. So you’ll have to wait ten years for Jiuzhou to fully connect with your world.”

Brahma Tower interrupted, “I could build a portal to allow people from Jiuzhou to come through, but like us, they can only speak and can’t directly influence this world.”

“Please allow us to wait. Give us some time to restore order.”

Luo Ying temporarily refused to establish the portal. Their world was in ruins. It was easy to destroy order, but difficult to rebuild it, especially with their weapons of mass destruction almost obsolete, and it was unclear how to resolve conflicts between nations.

If more people from Jiuzhou came in at this time, it would be too chaotic.

“Okay, I’ll come back here in a year to see how things are going,” Jiang Li didn’t force it.

“You can spread the ‘Aura Map.’ The Strengthener system is damaging your foundation. Now that the zombies are gone, there’s no need to strengthen your body.”

“Okay.”

“Also, it’s best not to stay in the Spiritual Transformation stage forever. You have excellent talent, and relying too much on the power of faith will waste it.”

Luo Ying followed Jiang Li’s advice and immediately dispersed the power of faith. The Dharma image behind her faded and disappeared, and she fell from the Spiritual Transformation stage back to the Foundation Establishment stage.

“And Luo Zhu, you are indeed talented, but you rely too much on your brother. You need to learn to think independently.”

Luo Zhu, like a little rabbit, eyes red, nodded while fighting back tears.

“You can take some rest. There’s no need to tense up, especially Luo Ying. You’ve survived the apocalypse for ten years, and you haven’t rested since your rebirth. You’ve been traveling around with me,

and you’re exhausted. Now that the dust has settled, it’s best to rest for a while.” “Cultivation doesn’t require speed, but steady effort. Your talent is destined to lead to extraordinary cultivation in the future. Don’t worry. Among your peers, you are the best I’ve ever met.”

Jiang Li nags like an elderly man before parting, nagging at everything.

As Jiang Li turned to leave, Luo Ying and Luo Zhu knelt on the ground, their hands supporting them. Tears streamed down their cheeks as they uttered in unison, “Thank you, Mr. Jiang, for your guidance. Thank you, Mr. Jiang, for saving the world.”

Jiang Li said nonchalantly, “It’s just a matter of idleness. Besides, I have my own selfish motives: I want the fragment from you.”

Luo Ying and Luo Zhu, however, saw it differently. The fragment was insignificant to them; having it or not made no difference. What they saw was Mr. Jiang teaching them like an elder, teaching them the techniques, and even using incredible means to save the world. They

kowtowed in gratitude.

“Mr. Jiang, I heard you mention the candidates for the Human Emperor. I wonder if I’m qualified to be the Human Emperor?”

Jiang Li was amused: “Ha, then you must work hard. I think your sister has a greater chance of becoming the Human Emperor than you.”

As long as the ruling class of this world agrees that this world is a branch world of Jiuzhou, the Jiuzhou earth veins will recognize that this world is also a part of Jiuzhou, and a candidate for the Human Emperor can be selected from here.

This time, Luo Ying was not discouraged, but said seriously: “I will work hard.”

Jiang Li restrained his smile and hummed with satisfaction.

…

After Jiang Li and Brahma Tower left, Luo Ying breathed a sigh of relief. It felt like the whole burden had been lifted. He no longer had to worry about how to survive, how to eliminate zombies, how to save more people, and how to usher in peace.

“Brother, I actually want to be the Human Emperor too.” Luo Zhu tried to think independently and confided his true feelings, “I won’t give in to you on this matter.”

Luo Ying laughed: “Okay, we really think the same way. But the most important thing now is to tell the world the good news that the zombie crisis has been resolved.”
