Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 646

Chapter 644: Eight Desolate Continent

. The Old Emperor desperately wanted to smack Bai Hongtu over the head.

Who is your big brother?

“I’m not angry. I can’t be angry.”

The Old Emperor closed his eyes and began to recall the good times he had with Bai Hongtu, fighting off his anger.

He remembered Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu deceiving him together, remembered Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu’s unique approach to tying for first place in the test he had carefully prepared, remembered Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu being hung up and beaten by him, remembered…

The Old Emperor discovered that he and Bai Hongtu had no fond memories.

This brat was exactly like Jiang Li. His heart was steadfast, unchanged in five hundred years, yet he had no respect for his elders and was infuriating at the mere sight of him.

Oh, he can’t see me.

That’s not right either. Can’t he learn from Yu Yin?

Yu Yin bowed and politely said, “Thank you for your hard work, Ghost Messenger.”

The Old Emperor: “…”

Jiang Li glanced at the Old Emperor’s mouth shape. Bai Hongtu asked curiously, “What did Ghost Messenger say?”

“He told you to get out.”

Bai Hongtu thought this Ghost Messenger had a terrible temper.

Commander Liu asked, “This Eight Desolations is a starry world. Is the Palace Master supposed to lead the Ghost Messengers from planet to planet to use the Book of Life and Death?”

Jiang Li shook his head, feeling that this method was too time-consuming. “It’s too troublesome. I’ve come up with a better idea.”

“What is it?”

“Turn the Eight Desolations into a continent.”

Jiang Li said, taking a step forward. Endless power surged from his body, filling the entire Eight Desolations.

All life planets were locked onto by his divine sense, whether native to the Eight Desolations or transferred from other worlds.

Jiang Li whispered softly, his voice echoing throughout the Eight Desolations: “Open.”

His voice was gentle, yet his tone held an undeniable firmness.

The life planets slowly unfolded like a piece of paper. Those on the planets could only feel a slight tremor, unsure of what was happening.

One Star Lord, sensing something was amiss, flew out into space, nearly losing his balance and falling.

His planet had unexpectedly transformed from a spherical shape into a flat surface.

“The Desolation Lord did this?” That was the Star Lord’s first reaction. If a Tribulation Crossing Stage cultivator so desired, they could also unfold the planet.

But he soon noticed something was amiss. It wasn’t just his planet; all the other life-bearing planets had transformed into a single continent.

He wasn’t alone; the entire Eight Wastelands was undergoing a transformation.

This wasn’t something a Tribulation Crossing Stage cultivator could achieve, not even Earthly Immortals or Celestial Immortals could achieve!

Jiang Li whispered a second word: “Come.”

He beckoned, and all the life-bearing continents flew towards the Nine Provinces.

“Combine.”

The life-bearing continents merged, forming a massive circular continent. At the center of the ring lay the Nine Provinces.

To minimize disruption, Jiang Li, after refining the Eight Wastelands, sealed each region with a star membrane, preventing communication. Once he’d dealt with the culprit cultivators and gradually helped the Eight Wastelands improve, he’d gradually remove the star membrane.

“See, isn’t that simple? The Nine Provinces and Eight Wastelands combined will make it easier to provide targeted assistance in the future.”

“This incident teaches us that when faced with difficulties in life, we must learn to change our perspective,” Jiang Li said earnestly, advising everyone. He felt the incident was deeply instructive.

Everyone agreed that it wasn’t just a matter of changing perspective.

Even the Old Emperor was astonished. It was his first time witnessing such a scene. Nearly ten thousand planets unfolded, forming a new continent, like an ancient myth reborn.

Ancient myths spoke of immortals transforming stars into continents and unifying the world, but nothing as grandiose as Jiang Li’s.

The Kyushu Continent was the largest continent outside the Immortal Realm, and the newly formed Eight Wastelands was vastly larger!

“The newly formed Eight Wastelands can be called the Eight Wastelands Continent.”

“Now we can see just how many damned cultivators there are in the Eight Wastelands.”

Jiang Li urged the Old Emperor to activate the Book of Life and Death, his eyes gleaming with murderous intent, showing no mercy.

Eager to know the outcome, everyone followed Jiang Li.

The Old Emperor activated the Book of Life and Death, and it emitted a gray light, scanning an area.

Soon, the names and information of countless people appeared on the Book.

The Old Emperor transmitted the information from the Book of Life and Death to Jiang Li through his spiritual sense.

Jiang Li made a brief count: “One person in the Fusion Stage in this region has invaded sixty-two worlds and over eight hundred planets, sacrificing 2.8 billion people in batches to refine spiritual treasures.”

“There are three Spirit Transformation Stage cultivators, each of whom has invaded at least eight planets and killed fifty million people.”

“Over sixty percent of the Nascent Soul Stage cultivators have committed genocide, exterminating entire families, over fifty percent have sacrificed mortals over twenty times, and over thirty percent believe in “like replenishes like” and eat infants raw…”

“Over eighty percent of the Golden Core Stage cultivators have invaded other worlds, over seventy percent have committed murder and robbery, and over sixty percent have harmed fellow disciples…”

“Foundation Establishment Stage…”

“Qi Condensation Stage…” Qi

Condensation Stage cultivators are considered menial servants or outer disciples. Among these, many cultivators assassinate others to improve their cultivation and reach new realms.

What everyone said before was true: if you kill nine out of ten, there will be some that slip through the net.

“Not all of them deserve to die. Some cultivators have impure hearts and like to steal. Although they are guilty, they do not deserve the death penalty and have room for correction. Some cultivators kill in self-defense. For example, if someone bullies their wife and daughter, they kill them. In this case, they are not guilty.”

“There are also some cultivators who acted in excessive self-defense. Although they killed people, it did not reach the level of a capital crime.”

“There are also people who still have good deeds and are unwilling to go along with the crowd and stick to their original intentions.”

The Old Man Emperor scanned other areas and told Jiang Li the results.

After collecting a considerable amount of data, Jiang Li came to a rough conclusion.

“Generally speaking, according to the standards of the Underworld, killing 30% of those in the Qi Condensation stage, 60% in the Foundation Establishment stage, 90% in the Golden Core stage, 90% in the Nascent Soul stage, and all those in the Spiritual Transformation and Hegemony stages would earn Yin De and be considered a good deed.”

“As for mortals, they have their own laws, and we don’t need to judge them by other standards.”

Mortals are divided into different classes, and many deserve death. They exploit their power to commit murder, arson, and r*pe women, circumventing the law and becoming lawless. Countless families have been torn apart by their actions.

Jiang Li foresaw that if mortals were not managed, once they came into contact with the Spiritual Qi Diagram and became mortals in the middle stage of Qi Condensation, conflicts would inevitably ignite.

Those who had suffered injustice would assassinate those outside the law, and the entire country would be in chaos.

While mortal laws favor the rulers and contain many unfair aspects, they do not make killing illegal. Otherwise, those outside the law would not be using their power to circumvent the law, but would be ignoring it.

The Old Emperor had never seen such a terrible world. In the underworld, he governed humanity, and the souls he came into contact with were all blessed with good karma.

He had never seen anything like this in the Eight Desolations, where most cultivators had no good karma at all.
