Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 622

Chapter 620 Reshaping the Continent

. Two towering giants stood at the summit of the universe, their fists blasting like wind, shattering the Star Beast into pieces.

Unlike other demon races that prioritized bloodlines and the refinement of their own, the Star Beasts simply needed to feed themselves to reach the Fusion Stage. If they survived the Death Tribulation, they could reach the Tribulation Crossing Stage. If they could devour an entire world, they would attain Immortality.

The Star Beasts were unconcerned with mixed bloodlines; their entire race was purebred.

The reason was simple: they could find no other living beings to mate with.

There were no intact stars left in this universe; all had been devoured by the beasts or used as teeth in their spare time.

Because of this, this beast had already reached the peak of the Tribulation Crossing Stage, poised to attain Immortality at any moment, its power was terrifying.

Unfortunately, it encountered Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu, dooming its might to utter failure and its death was inevitable.

After the death of the celestial beast, the creatures within its belly would face the cosmos, facing hazards like oxygen deprivation, weightlessness, and radiation.

If these creatures were to reside on a continent, the continent would have its own gravity, oxygen layer, and other elements to ensure basic survival.

However, this wasn’t a true continent, but the beast’s stomach.

Bai Hongtu unleashed his Taoist magic, his body expanding even larger than before, a single eyelash brimming with light.

His hands manifested distinct formations, transforming the celestial beast’s stomach into a true continent. Moving his hands up and down, he closed around the continent where the creatures resided, and golden light emanated from between his fingers.

The two formations slowly rotated, unleashing endless mysteries. One formation descended beneath the continent, restoring gravity, and the floating creatures slowly fell to the ground.

As the golden light bloomed, the escaping air returned to the continent, while the other formation loomed over the continent like half an eggshell, holding the air in place and blocking cosmic rays.

Luo Zhi curled his lips. Although Bai Hongtu seemed careless and unreliable, he was indeed reliable when the chips were down.

While Bai Hongtu was taking action, Jiang Li wasn’t idle either.

The stars in the sky had become shreds, impossible to restore. With this in mind, he cut the giant beast’s carcass into planet-sized pieces and dotted the universe.

He also hid opportunities on some planets, such as minerals, energy, and cultivation techniques. If these creatures developed technology to the point of interstellar travel, or if someone broke through the Fusion Stage, they could find unexpected treasures on these planets.

Jiang Li thought again, realizing that it wouldn’t be easy for them to make the journey to the universe, so he collected his treasures, including the Qi-gazing technique and the invisibility cloak.

After completing this, the two returned to the skies above the mainland. The

old man trembled with fear, his heart trembling.

These two were too powerful. His master, whom he considered omnipotent, was like a child with empty power in their hands, powerless.

How could such powerful beings exist in the world?

Could they be from the legendary immortal realm?

“What are you going to do with your thing?” Bai Hongtu glanced at the old man with disdain. The old man must have had some kind of master-servant contract with the giant star beast. After the beast’s death, the old man’s body visibly curled up, like a dwarf. His already limited lifespan dwindled to a point where it was almost invisible. He probably only had a few more decades to live.

Jiang Li didn’t answer. Instead, he smiled and said to Luo Zhi, “Luo Zhi, this deacon has done a commendable job. Since your Lingzhi Sect is the first sect to enter this world, it’s a place we have a connection with. I’ll leave the rest of the matter to you.”

Luo Zhi clasped his fists in thanks. Most of this world was occupied by mad monsters, and wherever they resided, there were dense forests, a favorite spot for the Lingzhi Sect.

After Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu left, the old man pleaded with Luo Zhi.

“Master, I was forced into this. I used to be a good person, otherwise I wouldn’t have agreed to a truce between the humans and demons. But if I hadn’t helped the giant beasts cultivate their blood food, I would have been the one to die.”

“I did all this to save my life.”

Several Spiritual Plant Sect disciples were moved, convinced the old man’s words made sense. Only Deacon Fang sneered, watching the old man’s performance.

Luo Zhi, with a sympathetic look, helped the old man to his feet and said, “You are indeed pitiful. I am moved by your words, but after all, I am not a victim and cannot make the decision.”

“I believe justice prevails in the hearts of the people. So, why not tell your story to the people of your world? I believe they will forgive you.”

“As long as half of the people forgive you, we will let you go. If not, don’t blame me for being heartless.” Luo Zhi said, planting a seed in the old man’s body, imprisoning his cultivation.

“No, no—” The old man quickly retreated, turning to flee.

If the truth were revealed, not even half of the people would forgive him.

The human race’s fury against the mad demon would be focused solely on him.

His death was certain.

He attempted to use all his magical powers to escape, but found that none of his cultivation could be used. The more he tried, the faster his lifespan waned.

Deacon Fang sternly admonished his disciples, “See? Don’t use your cheap sympathy to pity others. You’re not victims, so what right do you have to forgive him on behalf of the people here?”

The disciples lowered their heads in shame, not daring to meet Deacon Fang’s eyes.

Deacon Fang sighed, increasingly convinced that it was necessary to let these children out for a while. They had never experienced any setbacks, were too naive, and easily swayed by others’ emotions, which was not a good thing.

Deacon Fang also saw another meaning in the sect master’s words.

The conflict between humans and demons would eventually be resolved. As the instigator, exposing the old man’s story could effectively ease the conflict.

It depended on whether these disciples had the foresight to see this.

…

“The summoning talisman needs to be modified.”

“Indeed, tearing the summoning talisman apart is still too troublesome. This time, it was just that the old man was stupid and tore the summoning talisman apart directly. If it was replaced by a smarter one, he would have directly fixed Deacon Fang’s body and there would be nothing we could do.”

“The summoning talisman should be made to be activated by the mind.”

“Is it difficult?”

“Not difficult.”

“Then it’s up to you.”

Inside Dao Sect, Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu analyzed the results of the investigation point by point, identifying any problems and resolving them promptly.

In fact, in addition to the two of them, Commander Liu had also dispatched many Royal Palace guards to follow and identify any problems.

Exploring the Myriad Realms is a massive undertaking, and since it’s just getting started, it’s bound to face many difficulties.

Jiang Li believed that with the gradual accumulation of experience, they would eventually be able to resolve the issues.

“Jiang Li, Bai Hongtu, are you there?” Yu Yin contacted them using a telecom talisman, her expression cold.

“What’s up?”

“I’ve mastered the great magical power of speaking and making things happen. After battling the Lord of Entropy and summarizing the past few days, I feel I’ve mastered this power quite thoroughly. Would you two like to come and learn?”
