Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 295

Chapter 295 Black and White Impermanence

“Whatever he does, arrest them all!” the white figure said bluntly. “Why so many whys? Take them back to the underworld first.”

The white figure was furious. He had discovered that almost everyone on this planet was a fugitive.

Billions of them!

So audacious, they simply didn’t care about the underworld!

He set his sights on Luo Zhu.

Luo Zhu was the only one standing in the entire school, staring at the newcomer. The others hid in a corner, huddled together, trembling.

Luo Zhu was afraid, but her willpower was stronger than the others. She had fought alongside her brother for six months and knew hiding was futile; only fighting offered a chance of survival.

“You dare to resist?”

the white figure raged. As a fugitive, he’d always run or hide when he saw them. He’d never seen anyone so arrogant!

“Come here!” The white figure hurled his chains with lightning speed, attempting to restrain Luo Zhu.

The level gap was too great. Luo Zhu wanted to resist, but the chains didn’t even give her time to react!

Lightning fast isn’t an adjective; the chains’ speed approaches the speed of light!

In Luo Zhu’s mind, time seemed to slow down infinitely for a moment. She saw the chains appear, then a large hand appeared before her, grasping them.

The owner of the large hand said in a voice familiar to Luo Zhu, “Don’t be afraid.”

“Mr. Jiang?!” Luo Zhu was overjoyed. She hadn’t expected Mr. Jiang to appear at such a critical moment.

“Who are you?” the white figure shouted.

“I should be asking you that.” Jiang Li slowly turned around, seeing the black and white figures dressed in black and white, and recalled the legends circulating throughout the heavens and the universe.

“Black and White Impermanence?”

These two, no, two ghosts, were clearly the messengers of the underworld, the Black and White Impermanence.

Jiang Li suddenly understood. No wonder Luo Zhu and the others at school reacted this way.

Who wouldn’t be afraid of the soul-collecting messengers? It’s instinct.

“Knowing our names and yet daring to shield them? Your crime is even more serious!” Bai Wuchang saw that after Jiang Li had read out their names, he still clutched the chains tightly, unable to pull them back.

“What crime have they committed?” Jiang Li suspected there might be a misunderstanding.

Bai Wuchang sneered, “You’re asking questions knowing the truth! They refuse to enter the cycle of reincarnation and instead escape to the living world. This is a heinous crime, punishable by hell!”

Jiang Li understood. Souls don’t appear or disappear for no reason. Luo Ying had rewound time ten years earlier, resurrecting the dead.

Before their resurrection, where were these souls? They were naturally in the underworld.

This was effectively stealing souls from the underworld!

But who could be blamed? Luo Ying, or the fragments of the ladder to immortality?

Black and White Wuchang had no idea what Jiang Li was thinking. They attacked together, intent on capturing this obstacle and bringing these billions back to the underworld.

Numbers were no match for them. They were masters of the cycle of life and death, and no soul could escape their grasp!

“Come and die!” Bai Wuchang formed a seal with his backhand. This seal reversed life and death, turning anyone struck from the living to the dead.

Even the dead were no match for them!

“Get down!” Jiang Li pulled Bai Wuchang down.

Before Bai Wuchang could even complete his seal, Jiang Li kicked him in the face.

Furious, Bai Wuchang was about to utter a threat when Jiang Li wrapped him in chains and, with another push, swung him like a spinning top.

Hei Wuchang, wielding his killing rod, struck Jiang Li on the head, intending to knock his soul out. Jiang Li leaned back, then jerked back, landing squarely on the rod. Unexpectedly, his soul and body were so tightly connected that Hei Wuchang and the rod were sent careening away.

Hei Wuchang steadied himself and tried to counterattack, but Jiang Li swooped down, snatched the rod from him, and broke it in two. He struck him on the forehead, the back of his head, and finally the top of his head with both pieces, knocking Hei Wuchang completely unaware of his true identity.

“That’s a tough one!” After just two rounds, both Hei Wuchang and Hei Wuchang knew the formidable strength of the man before them.

But this made no sense. This man was clearly imbued with spiritual energy, clearly not an immortal. How could he possibly be their match?

How could such a formidable Tribulation Crossing Stage be possible? You have to remember they’re legitimate ghost immortals, holding high status in the underworld!

Both men harbored a secret regret: they shouldn’t have taken this job; it was such a thankless task.

The underworld’s bureaucracy is bloated, inefficient, and reincarnation is slow. Ghosts often remain trapped there for over a decade.

A while ago, while checking registered ghosts who hadn’t yet reincarnated, the underworld discovered that a vast number of them had vanished—billions! And they vanished without a trace, leaving no one aware of their departure.

Damn it!

Everyone found it troublesome and unwilling to investigate, pushing the blame back and forth until the blame finally fell on the Black and White Impermanence.

Upon investigation, the two men discovered that the vanished ghosts all originated from a planet in a certain world, so they used the cycle of life and death to arrive here.

Who could have imagined such powerful beings existed in this world?

“Mortal, your life and death are predetermined. We have no desire to alter this destiny. By sentencing you to death and disrupting the present world, you must leave immediately, and we will not hold you accountable!”

“Ridiculous! If I can sentence you to death, then go ahead and give it a try!” Jiang Li was also furious. These two had attacked him the moment they met, with no intention of properly understanding the situation.

Now that they couldn’t defeat me, they wanted to persuade me to leave. Did they really think I was good-tempered?

“If you won’t listen to my kind words of advice, don’t blame us for being heartless!”

The Black and White Impermanence pulled out the Judge’s Pen and the Book of Life and Death from the underworld. The Book of Life and Death determines one’s lifespan and settles one’s sins. The Judge’s Pen can modify the Book of Life and Death.

They wanted to cross out Jiang Li’s lifespan and sentence him to death!

The Judge’s Pen and the Book of Life and Death were the most precious treasures of the underworld; what they held were mere imitations.

The Black Impermanence pointed the Book of Life and Death at Jiang Li, and it shone brightly, blinding them.

“How could someone have such a vast amount of merit!” Hei Wuchang exclaimed. He had been dead for tens of thousands of years and had never seen anything like it.

Had this Jiang Li saved the world, more than once?

The lifespan of such a being was simply beyond their control!

If they tried to alter the lifespan of the man before them, they would be annihilated by the backlash, their souls shattered!

“And his lifespan is strange too. How could it be so long? This isn’t the lifespan expected of someone in the Tribulation Crossing stage! What realm is he in?”

Hei Wuchang was shocked by Jiang Li’s lifespan; he thought even celestial beings couldn’t live like him.

Jiang Li, intrigued, soared into the sky and snatched the Book of Life and Death from him.

But in Jiang Li’s hands, the Book of Life and Death became a blank, wordless scroll.

“What’s going on?”

“Those not versed in the ways of reincarnation cannot read its contents,” Bai Wuchang explained. This person possessed immense merit and must be a kind person; there was no need to engage in a life-or-death struggle. Just

as the two were about to say something, they heard a message from the underworld.

“What? Is there such a thing?”

“Brother Daoist, the underworld has something calling us. We must hurry back. See you again!”

The two clasped their fists and hurried away.

“Hey, I haven’t got the Book of Life and Death yet.” Jiang Li wanted to return the item to the two, but unexpectedly, the two of them immediately used the cycle of life and death and disappeared.
