Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 459

Chapter 457 My Way of Time Can Still Be Rescued

“Wind God, what’s wrong with you?” The Earth God saw the Wind God suddenly tremble, his face pale.

“No, I don’t know.” The Wind God’s heart palpitated, feeling like he’d walked around the edge of hell and was lucky enough to be alive.

“It seems I just gained a follower, and this follower wants to borrow my power to cast magic.”

“Adding a follower? That’s a good thing.”

The Wind God’s eyes were empty, still recovering from the feeling of dying. “No, I dare not. My intuition tells me that if I accept his faith, I will be shattered by an inexplicable force.”

“It’s as if this follower has noble origins, far superior to us, and I’m unworthy of his worship.”

The Earth God couldn’t explain this, so he patted the Wind God’s shoulder.

“Relax, let’s ask the God of Light. He knows the most and may be able to explain.”

“Okay.”

…

“This method of learning skills is interesting. Where can I learn it?” Jiang Li smiled. If skills can be learned through prayer, doesn’t that mean his Way of Time can be saved?

Lance hesitated for a moment and said, “Every church displays statues of the Seven Gods. All you have to do is pray to them.”

“Rumor has it that the larger the statue, the more effective your prayers. For example, the Imperial Capital has the world’s largest statue of the Seven Gods, and the most adventurers go there to pray. We often hear of people gaining rare skills there.”

“But according to my statistics, the reason rare skills often appear in the Imperial Capital is because there are so many adventurers praying there. If you calculate it based on probability, the probability of gaining a rare skill by praying in the Imperial Capital is the same as praying at a small church. It’s all psychological.”

“Then let’s just pick a church at random.”

Lance looked around and said, “This should be the Great Wild Plains. My hometown is nearby. Can we go to my hometown church?”

“You lead the way.” Jiang Li didn’t pick a church.

“Show the power of the Wind God, spirit of the wind, protect me in the name of the Wind God—Dance of the Heavenly Wind!” Lance waved his staff and chanted at high speed, hovering in the air.

“Tell me about the history you know.” Jiang Li felt that Lance was a person who was good at independent thinking, and he might be able to say something different.

“Where do we begin?”

“From the beginning.”

“Then we have to start with the ‘Canon of Light’.”

“Among the seven gods, the God of Light is the most respected, and the canon is named after Him. The ‘Canon of Light’ records that the original world was in chaos, and the God of Light was born as the first ray of light in the chaos. He illuminated the chaos and opened up a pure land in the chaos, which is the Ella continent under our feet.”

“After the God of Light, the God of Beasts, the God of Elves, the God of Earth, the God of Wind, the God of Fire, the God of Water, and the first demon – the Demon King – were born in turn.”

“The battle between gods and demons began. The Demon King was so powerful that the seven gods had to work together. Even so, they could not defeat the Demon King.”

“In a battle, the seven gods fell into the Demon King’s conspiracy and were sealed in a land without heaven and earth. The Demon King was also seriously injured, and had no successors, so he spent the whole year recuperating in the Demon King’s City.”

“The seven gods entrusted the task of defeating the Demon King to us, the Humans, the Beastmen, and the Elves. Our three races were weak, far inferior to the gods, so the gods bestowed us with ‘skills’.”

“The Demon King was unable to leave the Demon City, so he sent the demons to invade our three races.”

“This was the beginning of the Millennium-long War between Humans and Demons.”

“Countless human warriors fought on the battlefield, skillfully using their skills to kill demons, eradicate dungeons, and leave their names in history. Many more perished at the hands of the demons, without even their names recorded.”

“People only notice the former who became famous, but few notice the latter who died quietly.”

“I believe that the demons are powerful. To successfully defeat the Demon King, caution and careful planning are necessary.”

“Before the seal was sealed, the gods left a prophecy, saying that a brave man would emerge from the three races, who would defeat the Demon King and break the seal.”

“Everyone hopes to become a hero. Young men and women, filled with excitement, believing themselves to be the chosen ones, rush to the battlefield with the heart to defeat the Demon King. However, they often die at the hands of the most basic demons, with many having their heads engulfed in slime or suffocating.”

“The Holy Empire, seeing the high casualty rate, instituted the Adventurer System, linking adventurer levels to experience. Since its implementation, the system has been effective, with a significant drop in mortality rates.”

“In recent years, rare skills have emerged from time to time, and the combat power of the three tribes has also increased. Even those on the front lines say that the Demon King had some problems a few years ago and has stopped appearing. It’s suspected that his injuries have worsened.”

“People are saying that the hero who will defeat the Demon King is about to appear.”

Jiang Li nodded. “That’s not wrong. Haven’t I appeared yet?”

Lance felt that the hero predicted by the gods was definitely not Jiang Li.

“We’ve arrived,” Lance said at a dilapidated chapel.

“Phyllis, I’m back!” Lance shouted from the chapel entrance.

A young nun, holding up the hem of her skirt, ran out of the chapel with a clattering sound.

“Brother, didn’t you just return to the Brave Team? Why are you back again?”

“I felt that there was no future in the original team, so I teamed up with this adult.”

Lance’s sister Phyllis looked at Jiang Li, who had black hair and black eyes, with suspicion.

As a top magician, her brother was arrogant and proud, so why would he call someone else “adult”?

“Let me introduce myself. My name is Jiang Li. I’m from the Kyushu world and I’m an immortal cultivator.” A

strange person.

“Hello.” Phyllis had doubts about Jiang Li’s identity, but she would not doubt her brother’s vision.

Since her brother believed in him, she would believe in him too.

“Brother, what are you doing back?”

“I heard that the gods can bestow skills. Let me try it.” Jiang Li said, “But I’m not very familiar with the process. Lance, you demonstrate it first.”

“Okay.”

There are seven statues, with the God of Light in the center, and six other statues of gods spread out like a fan. It is not difficult to see the status of the God of Light.

Lance stood in front of the statue with a pious expression, as if praying.

“Great God of Fire, your devout believer Lance Cartman is praying to you here, praying that you will grant me the Fire Wall Technique to withstand all attacks!”

Lance kept repeating the prayer.

When he repeated it for the fifth time, the statue of the God of Fire glowed slightly, and a light spot was imprinted on Lance’s brow.

Lance felt that there was an additional way to cast a spell in his mind: “Thank you for the gift of the God of Fire.”

Lance walked out of the church, and after a simple chant, a wall of blazing flames appeared in front of him. Any attack that encountered the wall of fire would melt away without a trace.

The basic Fire Wall Technique does not have this kind of power. It is because Lance is a level five magician that it has such power.

“So simple? Let me try.” Jiang Li thought this way of mastering skills was quite interesting.
