Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 65

Chapter 65 Stone Tablet

Jiang Li had once stood on other stars, gazing at the continent, finally taking in its full dimensions.

The entire continent was a single immortal corpse, or more precisely, the corpse of the Dao Ancestor.

Dao Ancestor’s corpse was so vast it covered the area of two states, the size of dozens of planets. The sun, moon, and stars orbited around him, forming the universe as seen by humans in this world.

Monsters moved between Dao Ancestor’s thighs and head, while humans moved between his calves and feet.

Jiang Li had never seen such a thing before, so he asked Immortal Changcun to see. Bursting with grief, Changcun kowtowed nine times before Dao Ancestor’s corpse, explaining that someone had refined Dao Ancestor’s corpse into such a gigantic form, but he couldn’t understand the purpose.

Jiang Li also suspected the work of the extraterritorial demons, but he couldn’t fathom the purpose. If they had the ability and skill to refine Dao Ancestor’s corpse into a continent, why didn’t they kill everyone here? Instead, they went to the trouble of contaminating the monsters and allowing them to kill humans?

Considering Yin Yang Tian Yin’s mental state wasn’t strong enough to accept this, Jiang Li had originally planned to return it to Jiuzhou and wait until it matured before explaining the situation.

Who knew this kid would resurrect an entire continent?

“No! Impossible!”

Yin Yang Tian Yin knew he could only enlighten inanimate things, and how could his master possibly die? He was the self-proclaimed Daozu! He was destined to bear that title! He might even be the incarnation of the Daozu of the Immortal Realm!

How could such a person possibly die?

Whether Yin Yang Tian Yin believed it or not, Daozu’s corpse was before him, and he had just endowed it with spiritual consciousness.

“Tian Yin, you bastard! Erase the spiritual consciousness from Daozu’s corpse!”

“I, I can’t control him anymore!”

If it were just a continent, Yin Yang Tian Yin could easily erase the spiritual consciousness, but this was Daozu’s corpse, a corpse infinitely more powerful than an ordinary immortal. After gaining spiritual consciousness, out of a subconscious self-preservation, it would block the Yin Yang Tian Yin’s influence.

“You should have stayed in Dao Sect and cultivated for a few more cycles!” Jiang Li cursed. “You’re small, but you’re more capable of causing trouble than anyone else!”

Fortunately, after Daozu’s immortal corpse gained intelligence, its consciousness was weak, unable to control such a large body. Currently, only its head could move, and its arms were stiff. This

didn’t pose a significant threat to humans. If its entire body were to move, its limbs stretched, no one living on its calves would survive! “It’s just a large head, isn’t it? Everyone can grow taller!” Jiang Li roared, unleashing the Dharma Realm of Heaven and Earth, which was equally unimaginably large.

He pressed Daozu’s hands against his head, his yang spirit leaving his body and burrowing into Daozu’s brow.

Daozu’s spiritual platform was in ruins, with only a white-robed phantom standing within, frowning slightly, unable to comprehend the current situation. He was irritated and wanted to destroy something. He knew he had the power, but he couldn’t control it well.

He wanted to control his body.

His intuition told him that once he could control his body, he could do whatever he wanted.

This was Daozu’s newfound intelligence, and the phantom was gradually solidifying.

“Although you may not know, and you shouldn’t be here, I apologize.” Jiang Li’s Yang Shen blazed, exerting a powerful counteracting effect on the Daozu’s phantom, barely a soul.

Daozu’s lifelong skills were unparalleled, but his phantom, like a mortal immortal, was completely oblivious to his past, untethered to any Daoist arts, relying solely on instinct and random attacks.

But how could such a clumsy figure possibly defeat Jiang Li? He was quickly defeated.

His Yang Shen returned to his body, and Jiang Li pushed Daozu’s raised head back down.

This wasn’t much of a battle, but merely a means of wiping out the Yin-Yang Heavenly Seal. So Jiang Li grasped the seal in his hand and struck it, cracking it.

This time, however, the Yin-Yang Heavenly Seal didn’t cry, but silently endured the pain.

It, too, knew it had made a grave mistake.

The matter was over, but many mysteries remained, causing Jiang Li to frown.

He suddenly remembered that he had initially asked the system store if they sold nuclear bombs, and the system’s response had been, “Please travel to another world first.”

He switched to the store interface and found that the content had indeed been updated. There were items from this world, such as optical computers and imitation sun bombs, all at reasonable prices.

He didn’t need these items yet; he had other things in mind.

Amidst the high-tech goods, he found an out-of-place antique: a stone tablet, costing hundreds of thousands of source points.

The store’s description of the tablet read: “A message left by the Dao Ancestor on his deathbed. “

Jiang Li knew he had guessed correctly. A figure as important as the Dao Ancestor couldn’t have left behind anything.

Finding Dao Ancestor’s belongings here would likely take years, and searching with spiritual sense bit by bit was a waste of time.

Jiang Li chose to buy it outright.

It was only a few dozen Fusion Stage techniques.

“Remnants of the Immortal Realm: If you can see this inscription, it means you have defeated Ah Qing, my mount…”

“Great chaos struck the Immortal Realm… In desperation, I fled to this world with your ancestors… The enemy pursued closely… The battle was fierce… The enemy was too powerful… Defeated… I refined myself into a continent… To provide you with a place to stay, so they wouldn’t dare… But they corrupted my Ah Qing… I was powerless to stop them… I apologize…”

It’s unknown where this stone tablet is located, and it’s severely damaged, so only a portion of the inscription is legible.

Jiuzhou and the Immortal Realm share the same language. Seeing the inscription in Jiuzhou, Jiang Li assumed it was addressed to the people of Jiuzhou. But after reading the contents, he realized it was addressed to Ming Zhong and other remnants of the Immortal Realm.

Jiang Li had learned the language of this world after arriving here. It seems Ming Zhong and his companions had forgotten their own language over the course of their long history.

Jiang Li knew that the Immortal Realm wasn’t entirely populated by immortals. Immortals also had descendants who needed servants. There were also cultivators within the Immortal Realm who hadn’t yet attained immortality. The remnants of the Immortal Realm that Daozu had taken with him were likely these people.

However, after Daozu’s death, something unforeseen happened, and Mingzhong and the others forgot their origins and chose to embark on a path of science and technology.

“Can the stone tablet be completed using source points?”

[This product does not support source point completion.]

Seeing that it was useful this time, Jiang Li did not complain about the system’s incompetence.

The stone tablet explained some things, but still left Jiang Li with no clue as to why the extraterritorial demons hadn’t killed Ming Zhong and the others.

In Daozu’s words, they “didn’t dare.”

Jiang Li showed the stone tablet to Yin Yang Tian Yin and Ming Zhong, explaining that he had found it between Daozu’s eyebrows.

“So we’re from the immortal realm,” Ming Zhong said after a moment’s silence, then quickly accepted their identities.

Knowing Ming Zhong and the others were people Daozu wanted to protect, Yin Yang Tian Yin, despite his heartbreak, also developed a fondness for this world.

“Since this is something Daozu left for you, this tablet is yours.” Jiang Li handed the stone tablet to Ming Zhong and prepared to leave.

“Will we meet again?”

Jiang Li said with a half-smile, “That depends on whether we can find the spirited Brahma Tower.”

With the Brahma Tower’s power, building a passage connecting Jiuzhou to Ming Zhong and their world shouldn’t be a problem.

Ming Zhong was puzzled, but Yin Yang Tian Yin said firmly, “We’ll find it!”

…

After each seal and each person left, Ming Zhong produced a button.

The optical computer appeared and asked emotionlessly, “President 506, we haven’t reached the peak of the Thick Accumulation Era yet. Should we start the Thin Development Era early?”

The optical computer asked this question three times, and Ming Zhong patiently confirmed it three times before finally pressing the button.

Jiang Li had now annihilated the continent, leaving only the Nascent Soul stage demon beasts. With human technology, we could defeat them and reclaim our lost territory.

It was time for humanity to have emotions again.
