Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 605
Chapter 603: The Origin of the Star Weapon (Thanks to the Silver Alliance for the reward from the Wolf Guarding the Lamb)
The transformation of the mother planet into a weapon is a secret shared among the Fusion Stage, a taboo among the three Overlords, and they prefer not to discuss it.
The Star Weapon has never been activated, and no one knows its power. However, everyone knows that once it activates, no one living on the planet will survive.
A Fusion Stage cultivator privately calculated that the energy contained in the Star Weapon is so terrifying that even a Spirit Transformation Stage cultivator remaining on its surface would be fatal.
With a loud shout from the Entropy Overlord, the Star Weapon quietly activated. The Great Demon, sensing this change, quickly stopped.
The Entropy Overlord finally caught his breath and regained his strength.
While doing so, he continued to stare intently at the Great Demon.
When Jiang Li arrived at the First Mother Planet, he discovered that even the First Mother Planet had been transformed into a Star Weapon.
Even then, he had roughly guessed the Star Weapon’s purpose:
to threaten the Heavenly Demon.
A Overlord proactively killing and annihilating humanity—could there be anything more despairing than this?
This could trigger the dying thoughts of sentient beings, giving rise to the embryonic form of the Heavenly Dao.
Not counting Jiang Li, the embryonic form of the Heavenly Dao is the most feared thing by Fallen Immortals, enough to kill them.
The Great Demon turned to leave, but Jiang Li appeared out of nowhere, blocking its path.
Unaware of Jiang Li, the Great Demon went berserk and assumed the form of a thousand hands, chanting a strange and eerie scripture from a smiley face veiled on the surface of its muscles. The
scripture held an inexplicable power capable of disturbing the mind and driving one insane. With its muscular build, the Great Demon was among the most formidable among late-stage Earth Immortals. It
possessed both physical and psychic attacks, making it extremely difficult to counter.
Jiang Li clenched his fist and brought it down, abruptly silencing the chanting. The Great Demon, terrified, combined its thousand hands, but Jiang Li’s blow rendered its defenses no match for a sheet of white paper.
With one blow, the Great Demon shattered, spontaneously combusting into ash before vanishing without a trace.
The power of merit descended.
The three Overlords were dumbfounded, realizing that Jiang Li had held back when he was outmatched.
Killing the Great Demon with a single blow—how could this person defy the laws of physics?
The Fusion Stage cultivators had never imagined that the great problem that had plagued civilization for six thousand years would be solved by someone who suddenly appeared.
The Meteorite President pondered this and slipped to the last row of Fusion Stage cultivators.
He had previously been reluctant to speak truthfully about the Star Weapon, but now, seeing Jiang Li’s strength, he feared a vengeance.
Jiang Li had no intention of settling scores with the Meteorite President. He approached the Fusion Stage cultivator, whose arms had been shattered in the battle, and gave him a Great Rejuvenation Pill to restore him.
His arms had been shattered from their very origins, making restoration difficult with current technology.
Jiang Li approached the three Overlords again, smiling, “You fought well.”
The Entropy Increase Overlord scratched his head, unsure how to respond.
Using the lives of an entire race as a bargaining chip to force back the Great Demon was not an honorable undertaking, and it was even more difficult to disclose to others.
Bai Hongtu came to heal the three. “I’ve seen in history books that every time you battled the Great Demon, you were always at a disadvantage, but then you turned defeat into victory. So this is how you did it.”
Yu Yin said calmly, “There’s nothing to be embarrassed about. Saving the entire world is something to be proud of. Do you know how many worlds in the universe have perished in the machinations of the Immortal Realm?”
“You are one of the very few who have faced the Immortal Realm directly and haven’t fallen victim to any defeat.”
The three Overlords smiled shyly at Yu Yin’s praise. After returning the Fusion Stage cultivators to their respective positions, they asked, “I wanted to ask before the battle. Mr. Jiang Li said the Great Demon came from the Immortal Realm. What’s the truth behind this?”
“It’s a very complicated matter. I’ll explain it to you slowly.” As the one who knew the most about the situation, Jiang Li naturally took charge of the explanation.
…
“So that’s how it is. No wonder the Dao Ancestor said the Heavenly Dao has changed. Don’t ascend.” The three Overlords were truly enlightened, especially the Entropy Overlord, whose state of mind had instantly risen to a higher level.
Daozu’s actions and the shattering of the Heavenly Ladder to Immortality had always troubled him. Now, he finally understood the whole story and had put his worries to rest.
He was overcome with grief when he heard about Daozu’s death, but he beamed again when he heard about Daozu’s reincarnation into the Nine Provinces.
“By the way, how did you come up with the idea of using the lives of the entire human race to prevent the fall of the immortals?”
Jiang Li was puzzled. The idea that the will of all living beings gave rise to the embryonic form of the Heavenly Dao was not something that could be observed.
“It wasn’t something we thought of, but someone told me.” The Lord of Entropy Increase smiled bitterly.
“Who was it?”
Jiang Li remembered that when he first met the Lord of Entropy Increase, he had claimed to be a scientist pondering how to fight the Great Demon, saying that his research had not yielded any results and that he had only heard about it from others.
The Lord of Entropy fell into recollection: “That was probably almost six thousand years ago. At that
time, the ladder to immortality had just been broken. We were at a loss. As the three of us who were the pillars of the world, the pressure was enormous.” “At that time, a man in a black robe suddenly found us and said that the world would face a huge crisis. If we want to survive, we must be prepared to destroy the entire human race.” “
At first, my two brothers scoffed at him, thinking that what he said was incoherent and nonsense. Only I didn’t think so.”
“I couldn’t figure out that man at all. It means that he is at least an immortal. The Taoist said that when the way of heaven changes, we should not ascend. This means that the immortal world has undergone major changes and has become a forbidden zone. At this time, an immortal appeared and said that there was a disaster coming and a way to save lives. It’s hard not to think too much.”
“But we still didn’t believe it at the time. Another hundred years passed, and a terrifying immortal-level monster appeared. We called it the Great Demon.”
“The Great Demon wanted to kill the three of us. After a difficult battle, we killed the Great Demon.”
“We realized that the immortal was telling the truth, and immediately set about transforming the planet, connecting our lives to the star weapon.”
“Four hundred years later, the Great Demon attacked again. When we were about to be defeated, we made a desperate move, threatening the Great Demon with the lives of the entire human race. Surprisingly, it actually worked, forcing the Great Demon back.”
“This method certainly works, but without understanding the principles, I’m uneasy using it. Besides, it’s like the entire human race sitting on a bomb—extremely unsafe.”
“So we decided to try and kill the Great Demon. Since then, every time a Great Demon attacks, we’ve called in our Fusion Stage warriors to siege it, but we’ve never succeeded; we’ve only managed to scare it off.”
“Oddly enough, after scaring off one Great Demon, subsequent ones are ridiculously powerful, just like today. There’s no chance of defeat.”
“Thanks to you all, we killed a Great Demon for the first time today.”
“Do you have any clues about the identity of the person who taught you the method?”
Jiang Li tentatively asked, but the Lord of Entropy nodded in agreement.
“The man in black may think he’s well hidden, but he didn’t consider how he could walk right in front of us observers without leaving any trace?”
“I can confirm that the man’s true form is the immortal beast Bai Ze.”
Thanks to the Silver Alliance, the reward from the Wolf Guarding the Lamb, the already daunting update plan will be given another significant boost.
I’ll leave the rest for now, and I’ll write an update tonight.
