Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 502

Chapter 500 “Flood”

As Jiang Li drifted away, the old Dragon King still felt humiliated and dared not even look after him.

“Was this brat so mean when he was little?”

“I think so.”

…

[Congratulations to the host for completing the mission. Do you want to claim the rewards?]

“Accepted.”

[Set of Dragon Scale Armor]

Dragon scale armor is soft and resilient. Its irregular shape can absorb 40% of attacks, making it top-tier equipment for a Spiritualization Stage cultivator.

“If I had obtained this set of armor back then… it wouldn’t have made a difference. I was already invincible at my level, and no one in the Spiritualization Stage could defeat me.”

The system’s rewards are so useless that even Jiang Li from five hundred years ago wouldn’t have needed them.

[Set of ‘Heavenly Witch Body’]

“As expected, it’s a true honor. This is the Witch Clan’s body-refining method, a clan treasure, never passed down to outsiders. Zhang Konghu practices this very technique.”

The Witch Clan’s unrivaled physical form, renowned throughout the land, is largely due to this ‘Heavenly Witch Body’. When the ‘Heavenly Witch Body’ is cultivated to perfection, the shadowy figures of the twelve Ancestral Witches appear behind them, a terrifying sight.

Zhang Konghu is a representative figure who has mastered the “Heavenly Witch Body” to perfection.

“One hundred and fifty years ago, Zhang Konghu asked me to modify this technique. The creator of this technique was a true genius, and it was nearly perfect from the beginning. My modifications have only increased Zhang Konghu’s physical strength by 25%.”

[One Portion of Soul-Breaking Water]

“Finally, your turn! An alchemy ingredient that doesn’t exist in Jiuzhou.”

Jiang Li approached Su Wei with the precious Soul-Breaking Water.

“This is the Soul-Breaking Water mentioned in ancient texts. Come, Su Wei, have a taste. Is it true?” At the entrance to the Alchemy Peak, Jiang Li was intercepted by the Chiwu Lu.

“I’ll taste you!” Su Wei, rushing in upon hearing the noise, kicked the Chiwu Lu over.

The little fire-fanning boy of those days had grown into a young girl, her beauty known throughout the Dao Sect.

She became Su Wei’s last disciple, and also the Chiwu Lu’s.

Both the Furnace and Su Wei were training her as their successor.

She shrank back, sensing that Master Su Wei’s temper was growing increasingly volatile.

“The Human Emperor wants me to refine the Tianyang Poison Pill? No problem, leave it to me. I guarantee that anyone who consumes this pill will die!” Su Wei sneered, confident in his alchemy skills.

Anyone who took the pill and even breathed a sigh of relief would be insulting his skills.

“…It doesn’t have to be that effective.” Jiang Li felt Su Wei’s enthusiasm was a bit excessive.

“Half a day, just give me half a day!”

Jiang Li was about to say something when his brows raised.

Someone was calling him.

…

“Everyone, please listen to me. This current war is the result of a conspiracy by the extraterritorial demons. Any further fighting will only lead to the destruction of the Fanting World.”

In a certain space, dozens of phantoms stood silently, eager to hear what the cultivator claiming to be from the Jiuzhou World had to say.

The Fanting World was the world that He Shanshi had visited. This world was a world of countless planets, each with its own unique civilization. The distances between planets were measured in light years. Before this, they had never known each other.

Then a civilization achieved a major breakthrough in spaceflight technology, enabling sublight travel.

The hospitable civilization of this planet sought to find sounds in the universe—other civilizations.

They dispatched several fleets. After decades, one fleet was on the verge of finding another civilization when it suddenly lost contact with the parent civilization. Feeling isolated and helpless, they grew paranoid.

They worried about what to do if the other civilization they found harbored malicious intent.

If it was more advanced than their own, they might destroy them.

If their technological level was similar, they would have only a few hundred warships, making them insufficient for a decisive battle.

If their technology was far inferior, the other civilization could easily replicate and surpass them.

The only option was to attack and seize the initiative.

This planetary civilization attacked first, but the other civilization was no pushover. While they hadn’t developed sublight travel technology, their weapons were formidable.

The sudden attack resulted in the deaths of tens of millions of the other civilization’s people. Enraged, the ruling class destroyed the fleet’s hundreds of ships. Using reverse engineering techniques, they quickly mastered sublight travel technology and attacked the planet behind the fleet, seeking revenge.

Coincidentally, several other fleets dispatched lost contact with their home planets, becoming suspicious and launching attacks against the unknown civilization, only to be slain in return.

Other civilizations mastered sublight travel technology and sought revenge.

Suddenly, the civilization that pioneered sublight travel became the target of widespread criticism and was attacked by several civilizations.

This civilization felt wronged, believing the fleet’s loss of contact must have been the work of these civilizations. Now, they were accusing them of launching the attack.

This was unacceptable.

Fight back!

This civilization and the surrounding systems became the site of a war, raging in flames.

During this conflict, many planets still in the third technological revolution experienced rapid technological advancements. Upon first contact with the outside world, they witnessed the chaotic battles among the most advanced civilizations and realized their extreme barbarity, their ambitions to devour the others. The relationship

between these civilizations was not a happy one.

To protect themselves, they aggressively developed weapons technology and actively joined the conflict.

Dozens of planetary civilizations engaged in a chaotic battle.

At this point, the initial cause of the conflict no longer mattered.

When He Shanshi first arrived in the Fanting World, he felt the relationships between the various planets were incredibly complex. To understand these relationships, he needed the Tianji Tower and Tiansha Pavilion, two institutions best suited for intelligence gathering.

So, the Tianji Tower’s owner, a Tianji Tower disciple, and the former Tiansha Pavilion’s owner were invited to come.

They leveraged their respective strengths, exploring the planet’s ancient history and inferring reality. Gradually, they finally discovered the source of the problem.

A being named “Hong” incarnated into countless forms. As a scientist, he led the first civilization to master sublight-speed flight technology.

He assumed the form of a warship captain, proactively severed ties with the parent civilization, and ordered an attack on an unknown civilization.

He embodied intelligence personnel from various civilizations, feeding them false information and gradually leading these civilizations to become hostile to one another.

…

His incarnations were so numerous, so numerous that even the Heavenly Destiny Taoist couldn’t count them all.

This being named “Hong” was undoubtedly a great cultivator.

The Heavenly Destiny Taoist took the initiative, revealing his identity and offering the utmost goodwill in the hope of halting the fighting.

The civilizations were already at their wit’s end. Continuing the conflict would only lead to the world’s destruction.

“There are worlds beyond this world, are you from the Kyushu world?” Seeing the Heavenly Destiny Taoist’s words, the major civilizations relaxed their guard, believing that a conversation was possible.

Just as the civilizations responded with their own goodwill, the ruler’s trusted aides, after conducting a series of analyses, concluded that the Kyushu world had ulterior motives and that they must remain vigilant.

“I’ve got you! Heshanshi, move on!” Tianming Daoist sneered. Hong’s clone had been silent for decades, and Tianming Daoist couldn’t find him. He simply revealed his identity to lure the snake out of its hole, allowing Hong’s clone to strike again.

With the immortal artifact Heshanshi in hand, Tianming Daoist wasn’t afraid of any waves the other party might stir up.
