Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 193

Chapter 193 Time Flow Speed: 1 to 10,000

“Immortal, I have a question for you.” Jiang Li brought Yu Yin, Bai Hongtu, and the question to see Immortal Changcun.

Immortal Changcun welcomed him with a smile: “You’ve just returned from another world and you’re looking for me. It seems you have a big problem. Tell me.”

“The will of all living beings at the moment of death will produce something that the Extraterritorial Demons fear?”

Immortal Changcun shook his head slightly: “I’ve never heard of that.”

“Did you hear this from the Extraterritorial Demons?”

“No, I just heard the Extraterritorial Demons tell their men that in the moment of the great terror of life and death, the will of all living beings will become incomparably powerful.”

“Thinking about the three worlds they’ve been through, the Extraterritorial Demons didn’t dare to take direct action, but instead used various methods to kill indirectly. I think the Extraterritorial Demons might be afraid of something.”

“The stone tablet left by the Dao Ancestor also proves this. It says, ‘Refine myself into a continent… provide you with a place to stay, so that they won’t dare…'”

“What stone tablet?”

Yu Yin frowned. She had never heard of it before.

“Do you remember the world of ringing bells I visited?”

Yu Yin nodded. She had read the report in the Tianji newspaper.

“The continent of the world of ringing bells is the body of the immortal Daozu. Before his death, Daozu left behind a stone tablet, recording his experiences before death, but it was incomplete.”

Yu Yin was shocked.

Daozu… died?

Jiang Li told Yu Yin the contents of the stone tablet word for word. Immortal Changcun explained the indifference of the immortal world.

“So, Daozu failed, and fled the immortal world with a group of people. On the way, they encountered the outer demons. The battle was fruitless, and he unfortunately died. Before his death, in order to protect people, he refined his body into a continent.” Yu Yin reluctantly accepted this.

Speaking of Daozu, everyone present felt uncomfortable, and the atmosphere was somewhat silent.

Jiang Li sighed and continued, “This also shows that the extraterritorial demons fear the will of all living beings, especially the will of all living beings before they die.”

“I couldn’t understand it before, but after hearing what King Shang Tian said, I understand that the demons fear something born from the will of all living beings, or something changing.”

“It’s very likely.” Immortal Changcun confirmed Jiang Li’s point. However, even with his vast knowledge, he didn’t know what was contained in the will of all living beings.

They couldn’t possibly kill everyone in the world for experiments.

“Why don’t the demons have evil intentions against us in Jiuzhou, instead of just destroying us?”

Bai Hongtu was puzzled. Aside from the one celestial demon who ran away after doing his evil deeds, all the demons Jiuzhou had encountered in the past nine thousand years had come directly to kill.

There were no conspiracies or indirect killings.

“Perhaps it’s because Jiuzhou is too powerful.” Immortal Changcun didn’t know whether to be happy or sad about Jiuzhou’s strength.

“Demons are divided into celestial and earthly levels. Earthly levels lack intelligence and can only obey the orders of celestial levels.” Immortal Changcun revealed something he had never told anyone before.

“The following are all my guesses, which may not be true.”

“The celestial-level demons may find it difficult to destroy Jiuzhou with conspiracies and tricks, because there are too many people in Jiuzhou who are in the tribulation period, and among them are ruthless people who can rebel against the immortals, and they are terrifyingly strong.”

“So they sent the earth-level demons to Jiuzhou to kill. The cultivators in Jiuzhou will inevitably resist. In the process of confrontation, Jiuzhou will continue to lose its foundation and eventually become like other worlds, with few strong people and easy to change and invade.”

“You see, when the number of strong people becomes less, the celestial-level demons will sneak into Jiuzhou and leave traps everywhere, intending to gradually change Jiuzhou. If we don’t pay attention, who knows what Jiuzhou will become in a few thousand years.”

Jiang Li nodded. Apart from anything else, if the Shenzang Sect is allowed to develop, Jiuzhou will be in danger.

“Judging from the three worlds Jiang Li has experienced, it’s very likely that all worlds outside of Jiuzhou have fallen prey to the Heavenly Demon’s conspiracy and are slowly dying.”

“The Heavenly Demon won’t rest easy after their defeat and will surely return. Although Jiuzhou has the Great Protector Formation and Jiang Li, we must not let our guard down,” Immortal Changcun warned sternly.

Three? Jiang Li was stunned. He suddenly remembered that the Bell World wasn’t the first world he had experienced.

Before that, there was another world consisting of only yellow sand and gray beasts. Seeing nothing worth mentioning there, he briefly explored it and left.

Jiang Li named that world the Gray World.

It gave Jiang Li a deeply uncomfortable feeling, making him reluctant to stay.

Now that he thought about it, there might be something wrong with the Gray World.

“What? You’ve been to another world where there’s no one?” Immortal Changcun was shocked. He had thought Jiang Li had visited three worlds, but he hadn’t expected four. “How is that possible? The human race is the leader of all races. In all the heavens and worlds, there’s no world without humans.”

“Let’s go and take a look,” Immortal Changcun said solemnly.

Jiang Li ordered the Brahma Tower to create a temporary passageway, sending Immortal Changcun, Bai Hongtu, and Yu Yin there.

“This is it.” Jiang Li grabbed a handful of sand, the familiar, sickening feeling still lingering.

“It’s truly deserted.” Bai Hongtu and Yu Yin had never seen such a pure world, nothing but sand and gray beasts, and the spiritual energy was eerily thin.

There was no sign of civilization at all.

They too felt a sense of disgust.

“How could this be a continent, a continent, without a trace of human life?”

Immortal Changcun wondered. If this were a planet, that might explain the existence of people on other planets, but since this was a continent, it definitely meant that no one else was.

Immortal Changcun asked, “What is the speed of time?”

When Jiang Li arrived in the gray world before, he had no inter-dimensional communication talismans, no experience, and no way of measuring the speed of time.

Seeing nothing, he returned to Jiuzhou in disappointment.

Jiang Li contacted the Pure Heart Saintess to confirm the speed of time.

He said in a bitter voice, “Nine thousand years have passed in Jiuzhou, and nine thousand… ten thousand years have passed here.”

Time speed: one to ten thousand!

What could happen in ninety million years?

If the Heavenly Demon intervened, ninety million years could turn a world from prosperity to ruin, and then to nothing but a handful of sand!

Immortal Changcun picked up a gray beast and examined it carefully, his lips trembling. “You may not know, but this world has something called the Way of Creation, which can… can transform people into beasts…”

“These gray beasts… have traces of the Way of Creation on them… very faint… but there is…”

“These, all the gray beasts on this continent… are transformed from humans… or rather… their ancestors were… humans…”

The three of them froze.

They had never imagined a world where time flowed so quickly, and they had never imagined that this beast before them, devoid of all reason, devoid of sand, with a body structure twisted to the extreme, was actually human.

Ninety million years was far too long. They could no longer fathom the Heavenly Demon’s methods to transform people into such a ridiculous, pitiful, and tragic state, nor could they save them, or… them.

Jiang Li stepped heavenward, arriving in the universe, howling to the heavens as the stars fell.

He stretched out his arms, then suddenly closed them. With an unreasonably brutal force, he condensed all the stars in the sky into a giant stone tablet.

Jiang Li erected the stone tablet at the end of the continent, a tombstone for a world.

Everyone bowed deeply before the tombstone, expressing their silent mourning for this gray world they had never seen and would never have the chance to see.

From then on, the gray world was no longer starry, but only a continent, a tombstone, a sky full of yellow sand, and countless gray beasts.
