Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 387

Chapter 387: The Unexpected Situation of the Extraterritorial Demon

No one present understood what Jiang Li was up to: taking a statue and then breaking it.

He was just being idle. The statue wasn’t made of metal, so of course it could be broken.

Jiang Li didn’t explain further.

As a result, the threat level of the Ability Cult in Jiang Li’s eyes dropped several notches.

“Your world seems peaceful,” Jiang Li accepted the tea Shao Junyi had brewed and took a sip.

“Not so bad. Our world was originally in chaos, too. There were several countries, constantly at war with each other. Back then, the Ability Cults united, operated in secret, and through various means, they finally united the countries into one.”

“Would you mind telling us about the history of your world?”

Director Shao nodded and asked, “Where should we begin? From the historical records, or from seemingly absurd legends?”

“I’m somewhat interested in legends.”

There are many versions of the legend, and Director Shao, drawing on his experience, chose those that felt plausible.

These legends are known only to Ability Cults; ordinary people’s history books tell a different story.

“Legend has it that six thousand years ago, humanity was weak and struggled to protect itself in nature. Later, messengers from heaven descended to Earth, performed miracles, and bestowed upon us abilities known as superpowers.”

“I used to think of heaven as a conceptual term, but now I think perhaps it’s the immortal realm you two are talking about.”

“After gaining superpowers, we were finally able to survive in nature and withstand attacks from powerful beasts.”

“Historians of superpowers believe that only a small number of people possess superpowers, and their abilities are not universal. Simply relying on those with superpowers will not lead to social progress.”

“Under the protection of those with superpowers, those without superpowers freed their hands and minds and began to explore the laws of nature.”

“Bronze, iron… the tools used by ordinary people are constantly changing, becoming increasingly powerful.”

“We have also evolved from primitive and tribal societies to the emergence of slave states.”

“In ordinary people’s history textbooks, the monarchs of the earliest slave states all possessed some mystical qualities, such as a fist that could subdue mountains and rivers, a glare that could suffocate people, and the words of the heavenly law that were spoken…”

“Ordinary people think that history books intentionally exaggerate the monarchs and elevate their status. But all the psychics know that these monarchs are psychics.”

“After all, human civilization was imperfect at that time. Whoever was more powerful would be the ruler, without considering whether these rulers had the ability to rule, or how irrational the decisions they made on the spur of the moment were.”

“History has also proven this. The various unreasonable orders of those monarchs caused the country to quickly perish, and it was a flash in the pan in history.”

“Moreover, the descendants of psychics are not necessarily psychics. If a psychic becomes a ruler, then who will be the ruler after the psychic dies? His son who is powerless?”

“Since the ruler of a country is the most powerful, it is natural that stronger psychics will appear.”

“For all these reasons, the slave state changed too quickly, and few countries could survive for more than three generations.”

“Later, the psychics realized that this was not working, so they chose to hide behind the scenes and let ordinary people be the rulers. Time came to feudal society.”

“Feudal states lasted significantly longer than slave states. Generally speaking, monarchs can make the right decisions, but there are always psychics who think they’re different and threaten the monarch with death. Fearing death, the monarch makes the wrong decisions.”

“Too many wrong decisions, accumulated over time, eventually became the root cause of the nation’s downfall.”

“Later, psychics reached an agreement to truly hide and no longer interfere in state affairs. This is modern society.”

“But the Psychic Cult wants to violate this agreement, advocating for psychic rule and turning back the clock of history. This is something the Psychic Administration will never allow!”

“Six thousand years ago, in the Celestial Realm?”

Jiang Li remembered that he had only been bickering with Bai Hongtu and hadn’t yet tested the speed of time in the Wei Gu world.

Bai Hongtu firmly stated that he would not go to Jiuzhou to help Jiang Li measure the speed of time before being summoned.

Jiang Li had no choice but to contact Yu Yin using the Telecommunication Talisman.

“Yu Yin, are you busy?”

Yu Yin was relaxing, reading a novel featuring Jiang Li.

“Not really busy, what’s up?”

“Just a few words with you, testing the flow of time.”

Seeing the background of Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu, Yu Yin knew that the two had found a new world.

“You found a new world but didn’t invite me over.”

Bai Hongtu rubbed his hands excitedly. “It’s not easy to come over. I’ll set up a summoning circle and summon you over.”

Seeing Bai Hongtu’s smile, Yu Yin knew that this might not be a good thing and decisively refused.

“Just tell me about the new world when you come back.”

The call ended.

“Nine thousand years have passed in Jiuzhou, and six thousand years have passed in this world. The time has matched.”

“The Heaven Realm is not the Immortal Realm, but the world of the Extraterritorial Demon. Your supernatural powers were created by the Extraterritorial Demon.”

Bai Hongtu was puzzled, not understanding what the Extraterritorial Demon was up to.

Jiang Li understood: “Do you think superpowers are powerful?”

“Powerful, but not absolutely powerful. A sufficient number of ordinary people can defeat superpowers.”

“Yes, not particularly powerful, but superpowers who believe they are superior to others and a vast number of ordinary people living in the same world are bound to conflict. This conflict can cause the change of dynasties at best, or even mutual destruction at worst.”

“However, before mutual destruction occurs, superpowers voluntarily withdraw from the stage of history, willing to let ordinary people rule, thus easing the conflict. This may be something the extraterritorial demons did not expect.”

Jiang Li believed that the number of celestial demons was small, while there were many worlds to destroy. The celestial demons were too busy to handle it all, and after making their plans, they would take a long time to return to check the situation and make corrections.

Perhaps the celestial demons have not yet descended into this world a second time.

…

Inside the magnificent building, a massive statue of the Three-Eyed True God stood tall. A golden-robed figure stood, hands clasped behind his back, staring up at the statue in silence.

This statue, the largest in the world, dwarfed the golden-robed figure.

“Master, this is bad!” A high-ranking member of the Ability Cult stumbled over, panicked, and reported the situation to the golden-robed figure.

The golden-robed figure frowned, feeling his subordinate was too naive and unworthy of greater importance.

Seeing the Master’s displeasure, the high-ranking member suddenly realized this was a sacrificial site, where the Master was offering sacrifices to the True God. He slowed his pace and approached cautiously.

He was terrified. Although in the outside world, he was a powerful fifth-level psychic, but before the unfathomable Master, he could only tuck his tail between his legs.

He had seen the Master transform a psychic of his caliber into a child, as if time had flown backwards.

Energy is conserved. The excess energy from the transformation from adult to child was absorbed by the Master,

who then gained the other person’s powers.

The leader possesses an extremely rare devouring ability.
