Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 477

Chapter 475: The First Jiangli Offensive

. Before the Seven Gods appeared, Jiang Li had already completed the mission.

The system’s mission required him to gain the Seven Gods’ recognition and become the Eighth God.

However, the Seven Gods are controlled by the power of faith. As long as a majority of believers believe in the River God’s existence, the power of faith generated by the believers will force the Seven Gods to recognize the River God’s status.

The most powerful proof of this is the system’s mission conclusion.

[Congratulations to the host for completing the mission and becoming the Eighth God recognized by the gods—the God of Darkness. You have also learned how to wield the power of faith in the Ella World. After your soul returns to your original body, the host’s soul strength will match that of the Ella World.]

[Decide the reward?]

“…What’s going on?”

Jiang Li remembered. The system had originally intended to extract his soul and possess it in some unfortunate junior magician in the Ella World, but it couldn’t extract his soul, so it had to change the mission format.

Now it seems that the mission format has changed, but the long-written mission conclusion remains unchanged.

“According to the mission conclusion, the system wants me to train from a beginner magician, increase my soul strength, and, after becoming the ‘God of Darkness, learn to wield the power of faith.”

Both increasing soul strength and learning to wield the power of faith would have been useful to Jiang Li five hundred years ago.

“Reward.”

Jiang Li received a small fragment of the Immortal Ladder.

…

Jiang Li arrived at Dao Sect and sought out the Immortal Elder Changcun.

Seeing Jiang Li enter the cave, Bai Hongtu stealthily produced a telecommunicator talisman and whispered, “Attention, all sects and dynasties! Attention, the target has entered Fengji Cave. We expect a half-hour conversation.” “

The Tianyuan Dynasty has received the message.”

“Yuyin, you’re truly proactive in this regard. The Great Zhou Dynasty has received the message.”

“The Great Wei Dynasty has received the message.”

“The Buddhist Sect has received the message.”

“The Dharmakaya Sect has received the message.”

“The Four Seas Dragon Palace has received the message.”

“The Red Dust Pure Land is ready.”

Bai Hongtu continued, “Let me emphasize before the battle: our goal…”

“Break the Jiang Renhuang’s defenses and make him bleed!”

“Break the Jiang Renhuang’s defenses and make him bleed!”

“Break the Jiang Renhuang’s defenses and make him bleed!”

Representatives from various factions howled, their fighting spirit surging.

Bai Hongtu took a deep breath, as if announcing something momentous that would determine the fate of the Nine Provinces.

“I declare the first offensive against Jiang Li begins now!”

…

“Frost Giant? I’m somewhat familiar with that name.” After hearing Jiang Li’s story from the Ella world, Immortal Changcun recalled the immortals he had encountered in the immortal realm.

“I remember that forty or fifty thousand years ago, an immortal known as a Frost Giant ascended to the Celestial Realm. I’ve met him a few times.”

“We once sat together while listening to a celestial being discuss Taoism, discussing our respective past lives. He said that before he ascended, he left behind two sons. One inherited his divine nature, the other his demonic. Born in the Fusion Stage, their cries were enough to shatter mountains, flood rivers and seas, and bring catastrophic disaster to the world.”

“Fortunately, he was incredibly close to the immortal and subdued his sons, otherwise who knows what would have happened.”

“He also regretfully said that while these two sons seemed powerful, their highest achievement was the Tribulation Crossing Stage, with no hope of ever ascending. If they had any descendants, they would have been extremely powerful, born at the Fusion Stage. Even if they later learned the cultivation method and reached the Tribulation Crossing Stage, they could only reach the Tribulation Crossing Stage and still be unable to ascend.”

“This is a bloodline restriction, a restriction imposed by Heaven on those born powerful.”

“The gods and demons of Ella’s world are likely the descendants of this Frost Giant.”

“We haven’t seen each other since we heard the Celestial Immortals discuss the Dao together. I wonder if he’s become a Celestial Immortal or remains an Earthly Immortal.”

“The Celestial Immortals discussed the knowledge of formations. He had never studied them before, but when he first encountered them, he displayed extraordinary talent and was valued by the Celestial Immortal. He then devoted himself to cultivation with that Celestial Immortal.”

“We haven’t had any contact since then. I don’t know if he became a Celestial Immortal or remained an Earthly Immortal before the Heavenly Dao developed intelligence.”

“Whichever outcome is best, it’s not what I want to see.” Immortal Changcun sighed deeply at the thought of this immortal, who couldn’t even be considered an old friend.

He wasn’t sighing for the Frost Giant, but for the entire Immortal Realm.

Jiang Li had just left Immortal Changcun’s sealed cave when he was blocked by a refreshed Bai Hongtu.

Bai Hongtu gave a thumbs-up, revealing two rows of white teeth. “The Jiuzhou Spirit Plant Formation is complete. Do you want to try it out?”

Jiang Li rarely saw Bai Hongtu so enthusiastic, and he had a feeling this grandson was up to no good.

“How do we try it?”

“Suppose you are a celestial being attacking Jiuzhou. As the controller of the Spirit Plant Array, I will block your attack.”

“Oh? That’s quite interesting.” Jiang Li was surprised by Bai Hongtu’s efficiency; he had already completed the Spirit Plant Array.

“It’s all thanks to the excellent cooperation of the various imperial sects,” Bai Hongtu said modestly. The

Spirit Plant Sect was undoubtedly the sect that reaped the most benefits from this Spirit Plant Array deployment.

Previously, the Spirit Plant Sect was barely considered top-tier, boasting two combined cultivators who practiced the “Tree Planting Technique.”

At the Jiuzhou meeting, the Spirit Plant Sect keenly noticed a business opportunity and planted trees en masse, providing a steady supply of trees for the Spirit Plant Array.

With the Spirit Plant Array complete, the Sect’s profits were equivalent to the combined profits of Tianji Tower for decades. The Sect Master was so overjoyed that he nearly fainted, ingesting two Da Huan Dan pills in a row.

Now, the Spirit Plant Sect is so wealthy that they can even take two Da Huan Dan pills in a row.

“What’s going on over there?” When Jiang Li wanted to go to the universe, he found that a certain place in Dao Sect was very busy. Officials from the Mingzhong World and Dao Sect elders were discussing something.

“Nothing, let’s go quickly.” Bai Hongtu was sweating coldly and wanted to pull Jiang Li away.

Jiang Li stepped forward and asked a Dao Sect disciple: “What are you doing?”

The Dao Sect disciple felt a lot of pressure when seeing the Human Emperor and the Sect Master coming together, especially when he saw his own Sect Master making desperate eye contact.

He thought about it and felt that he had to tell the truth to the Human Emperor.

“In reply to the Human Emperor, we are discussing with the Mingzhong World about the agency sales of candied haws. We want Dao Sect to become the only supplier of candied haws in Jiuzhou.”

“Really?” Jiang Li glanced at Bai Hongtu coldly.

“Yes, the Sect Master said that there haven’t been any large-scale orders from the Jiuzhou World and the Mingzhong World yet, and many forces are currently on the sidelines. As one of the six major sects, Dao Sect must lead by example, create a prominent presence, and set a precedent.”

“So the Sect Master chose the most common food among ordinary cultivators—tanghulu—as the first large-scale order.”

Bai Hongtu secretly praised this disciple, saying he had a high enough position and would promote him to a core disciple after this matter was resolved.

Jiang Li sneered. “I’d be surprised if I believed that nonsense.”
