Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 186
Chapter 186 The Kings’ Next Plan
. In the secret realm, the spiritual energy is rich, and spiritual plants and creatures that prolong life grow all over the mountains. Graceful young women walk on the paths in the fields, wearing thin clothes, attracting attention.
These women are not only good-looking, but also good at cooking, weaving, poetry and other skills. They are all skillful women, ensuring that the kings’ lives here are very fulfilling.
Of course, physical service is also indispensable.
The magnificent palace is located between the mountains, majestic and mysterious.
“Three hundred and fifteen years have passed now. Everyone in the world should believe that we are the saviors who saved them.”
The twelve kings sat in the palace, discussing major events concerning themselves and the future of the universal world.
“That should be the case. Two months ago, I visited our world. People’s faith in us is extremely strong. Every household has a statue of the twelve of us. Once we get there, we will definitely be able to rely on the power of faith to reach the end of our current realm.”
“King Ye, you still can’t change your old habits. What do you mean by our world? You and I are in the upper realm, and the land of Qi should be called the lower realm.”
“That’s right, that’s the lower realm of mortals, and we are in the upper realm.”
“So much time has passed in a flash. This place is truly a paradise for immortals and a place of blessing.” Another king nodded slightly, recalling the past three hundred years of enjoyment. “The lower realm is filthy and spiritual energy is scarce. It was a good choice for us to collect the spiritual energy from the lower realm and concentrate it all here.”
“But because of this, the spiritual energy in the lower realm is even scarcer, and it can even be called scarce.” The king sighed, then changed his face and smiled, “But those ignorant people don’t understand the wonders of spiritual energy. It would be a waste to leave it to them. It’s just right for us.”
“Every twenty years, we select a group of beautiful women from the lower realms to serve us. It’s truly a carefree, immortal life. I’m still as energetic as I was three hundred years ago, pampering them day and night.” “
King Luan Tian’s decision to limit mortals to forty is truly a brilliant idea. Not only will it expedite the replacement of mortals and rapidly alter history, but these women serving us from the lower realms will also remain beautiful throughout their lives, without the fading of age that would disgust me.”
The women who come here range from their teens to their thirties, each with their own distinct charm, which the king greatly enjoys.
“No, no, it’s just a sudden inspiration,” King Luan said modestly, his expression radiating pride.
He had promulgated the secret manual of the Burning Life Martial Arts, claiming it could prolong life, and promoted the evils of the old warriors. These two actions had brought him immense fame, and the other eleven kings followed his lead.
“Thankfully, immortals and mortals are separated, and these women can’t get pregnant. Otherwise, wouldn’t a whole bunch of our offspring be appearing in this vast Upper Realm? What a bummer!”
“What good are offspring? They’re nothing but a burden. We live forever, and we can’t just keep watching them being born and dying.”
“That being said, we do need some descendants to take care of the Lower Realm for us, to ensure the mortals’ faith in us. Aren’t the descendants of King Ye the royal family of Qi?”
King Luan stood up and said with a smile, “Since you all agree that the time is ripe, we can begin the next step.”
“Good.” The other eleven Heavenly Kings nodded.
“The twelve of us are fortunate to have been favored by the High Envoy, who has bestowed upon us the elixir, nurturing us to the Spiritual Transformation Stage. However, the lifespan of the Spiritual Transformation Stage is limited to a thousand years. Could we bear to live and enjoy only a thousand years?”
Every time they thought of this, the twelve Heavenly Kings smiled knowingly. They were merely warriors, and they didn’t know what strength the High Envoy had noticed in them. It must have been their diligent training that caught their attention, leading to the elixir and the ennoblement of the Heavenly Kings.
“Of course not. How could a thousand years be enough? According to the High Envoy, after the Divine Transformation stage comes the Fusion stage. We must break through and achieve Fusion!”
Not only is the Huanyu World far less populated than the Jiuzhou, and the power of faith it provides is also insufficient for the Twelve Heavenly Kings to reach the Fusion stage, but even if they could, this Fusion stage, relying on the power of faith, is just empty power, not life extension.
Just like Luo Ying in the zombie world, when he was the Shadow King Buddha, he only had the power of the Divine Transformation stage, but not the lifespan of the Divine Transformation stage.
The Twelve Heavenly Kings must find a way to truly reach the Fusion stage.
And the High Envoy did not share with them the common cultivation methods.
“The Envoy has already told us how to reach the Fusion Stage. Between life and death, all living beings possess a will to survive. When this will is unified, it can become extremely terrifying, transforming decay into something miraculous, even defying the will of Heaven!”
“Now that all living beings believe in you and me, the twelve of us, this will to survive has a direction: us!”
“Since that’s the case, I propose creating a disaster and informing the Lower Realm that this disaster is unprecedentedly massive. We, the twelve of us, lack sufficient cultivation and are unable to withstand it. The only way to survive is to pray to us, hoping we will become stronger!”
“That way, facing this life-or-death catastrophe, the ignorant people of the Lower Realm will all pray together, helping us reach the Fusion Stage!”
“The Envoy has emphasized that only between life and death can the will of all beings reach its peak and unity. To ensure success, we must not stop our apocalyptic disaster once it’s activated. Let all beings pray to us before they die.”
“Good.” The eleven Heavenly Kings nodded. What Chaos Heavenly King said was exactly what they had in mind.
Of course, they wouldn’t have to kill everyone. If everyone died, who would serve them? It would be enough to leave around a tenth of them.
After the disaster, he’ll say he did his best, risking his life to save you. You should be grateful, and those mortals will believe him.
“Don’t rush this matter. We can take our time. We still have six hundred years to prepare.”
The life span of the Spiritual Transformation Stage is long. Mortals today become parents in their teens. By this calculation, twenty generations of mortals have been replaced in three hundred years, while they’ve only lived one-third of their lives.
“Huh?” Night King exclaimed softly.
“What’s wrong?” a nearby king asked.
“My descendants are contacting me through dreams.”
“The current emperor?”
“Yes.”
Night King is a master of dream communication. He allows the most outstanding of his descendants to contact him through dreams.
And that most outstanding descendant, of course, is the emperor. In the
past, he was the one who contacted his descendants to inquire about matters in the lower realms, and rarely did his descendants contact him on their own initiative.
Perhaps something happened in the lower realms.
What could it be?
Two months ago, he had just returned from the Lower Realm. It was peaceful, its people as ignorant as ever, practicing the Burning Life Martial Arts and worshipping the Twelve Heavenly Kings. The Qi court obeyed his orders, doing whatever they were told. The three supreme mortals belonging to the court were also obedient. Everything was normal.
“I want to see what happens in the Lower Realm,”
Night King muttered to himself as he fell asleep, seeing the portly King of Qi lunging at him.
“Ancestor, something’s wrong! The people down there are rebelling!”
