Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 607

Chapter 605 Black Tide

The statue of Venerable Shenzang, which required celestial power to destroy, was consumed by this unidentified black tide. Its inherently strong texture was completely lost.

“I imagine this remaining half of the statue drifted back to Jiuzhou, was picked up by the Sword Lord, and finally handed over to me.”

Jiang Li had many theories about the remaining half of the statue, including an immortal rebelling against the immortal world or a tactic left by the Dao Ancestor. But he never imagined it was swallowed by the black tide.

“I remember seeing small black dots on the way to the underworld.”

“By observing from multiple angles, we can roughly simulate the situation back then. You can experience it yourself.”

The Lord of Entropy Increase spoke, and countless particles rose from beneath his feet, like fireflies fluttering across a shimmering meadow at nightfall.

Slowly, these light particles recreated the scene.

Jiang Li and the other two felt as if they were there.

“Our Observer civilization has a history of 11,000 years. The first 5,000 years were the world of cultivators, and the last 6,000 years were the world of science. In this 11,000-year history, we have observed a total of 36 Black Tide phenomena.”

“This is the 35th Black Tide phenomenon, occurring in the universe and observed through the Cosmic Eye.”

Without any warning, a small black dot appeared out of nowhere. Coincidentally, a passing meteorite collided with the dot.

The dot remained motionless, as if untouched by the meteorite, allowing it to pass through.

The meteorite passed through the dot, leaving a small hole where it had contacted it, like a thin, sharp thread running from one end of the meteorite to the other.

The Lord of Entropy explained, “This thing is unaffected by the outside world, exists independently, and does not move. It only spreads from its own origin.”

The dot grew from one to two, then two to four, and then vanished without any warning.

“Gone just like that?” Bai Hongtu was stunned. He had been so majestic when he had devoured the statue of the Divine Treasure Venerable, but how could he disappear so quickly this time?

The Lord of Entropy didn’t answer the question, instead declaring, “This is the thirty-fourth Black Tide phenomenon, and the greatest disaster in the recorded history of the Observer civilization.”

The light particles recombined, transporting everyone to a void six hundred years in the past.

A vast, unknown world passed right by the Observer civilization, a mere five astronomical units separating the two worlds.

This was the largest world Jiang Li had ever seen, boundless and endless. The Observer world seemed a drop in the ocean, incomparable.

The unknown world shone with a sacred and desolate aura, imbued with mysterious power. Its cause and effect were unpredictable, independent and transcendent.

It was like a giant in the void, a behemoth that any world would automatically avoid.

“Immortal Realm!”

the three exclaimed in unison, revealing the origins of the unknown world.

While it differed from the immortal realms described in ancient texts, Jiang Li was certain of its size and aura.

“The Immortal Elder said that the Immortal Realm is sacred, shrouded in immortal energy, and reigns supreme among all realms. A repulsive formation is engraved on its walls. Any living being or world that approaches without permission will be repelled.”

This was the case in the Observer World. The Immortal Realm’s repulsive formation, powered by immortal energy, automatically activated, forcing the Observer World out of the way.

At this moment, the small black speck reappeared, multiplying and expanding, forming a black tide. This process was extremely lengthy. During this time, the three Overlords visited the void and observed the black tide with various instruments.

The black tide took shape, unstoppable, wedged between the Immortal Realm and the Observer World, affecting both worlds.

The black tide continued to expand, first impacting the Immortal Realm.

The repulsive formation, powered by immortal energy, proved ineffective against the black tide, which reached the Immortal Realm and swallowed up a small section of its boundary wall.

It was at this moment that the Immortal Realm’s means of eliminating cause and effect temporarily failed, prompting the tortoise shell to divine.

The Immortal Realm, as if startled, abruptly halted its movement, moving in the opposite direction of the Black Tide, escaping its reach.

As a phenomenon, the Black Tide naturally paid no heed to the Immortal Realm’s actions. It continued to expand through the void, eventually touching the Observer World.

The three Overlords at the time were horrified; they had no means to alter the World’s trajectory.

They desperately tried to halt the Black Tide’s expansion, but despite all their efforts, they were powerless.

Their vaunted unified theory of the four fundamental forces, their power to alter its parameters, their means of controlling entropy, were all devoured by the Black Tide, without a single ripple.

The Black Tide spread across the Observer World, devouring the boundary walls, the stars, and even the mother planets…

Hundreds of mother planets were devoured, and hundreds of billions perished.

The Black Tide vanished once again, taking with it the hundreds of billions of people it had devoured.

Those in the Fusion Stage, witnessing this scene, were driven mad with despair, losing their minds.

The disaster was far from over. A gaping hole had appeared in the boundary wall, allowing the void’s strong winds to flow back, bringing a second wave of disaster to the Observer World.

The gale, which only those in the Tribulation Crossing stage could barely withstand for a moment, blew through the stars, instantly reducing them to dust.

The three Lords tried to block the gale, but were instead driven to spit blood.

Fortunately, each world has a regulatory mechanism, and with it, the boundary wall gradually repaired and closed the gap.

“This disaster only brought despair, so the three of us discussed and decided to seal this part of history, hiding it from future generations.”

“It was at this time that we named this phenomenon the Black Tide.”

The Lord of Entropy Increase felt deep remorse when he recalled the disaster. If the three of them hadn’t focused on research and instead busied themselves with relocating the people from their home planet, the situation would have been very different.

“Brother, don’t blame yourself. Our world has over thirty records of observing the Black Tide, and none on this scale,” the Lords of Entropy Decrease and Entropy Level offered solace.

The Lord of Entropy Increase tried to ignore the disaster and continued to display the Black Tide observation records.

From the 30th time, a small black dot appeared on the roof of an apartment building, expanded to the size of an insect, and then disappeared.

The twenty-sixth time, the small black dot appeared on the wall, expanded to the size of a fist, left a hole in the wall, and then disappeared.

The sixteenth time, the small black dot appeared on a spaceship, on the back of a crew member’s head. The crew member shook his head, and his hair rubbed against the small black dot. A few strands of hair fell off, and then disappeared.

The tenth time, at this time, the Immortal Ladder had not disappeared, and the small black dot appeared on the whisk, expanded to half a meter long, swallowed the whisk, and then disappeared. The owner of the whisk tried every possible way to find the lost whisk but failed, and cursed the damn thief. The

third time, the small black dot appeared in the process of two monks fighting. No attack could hurt it. The two monks did not care, just thinking it was a trick of the other party. The small black dot also disappeared quickly.

The first time, the small black dot appeared in space, existed for only three breaths, and then disappeared.
