Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 770

Chapter 767 Dispelling the Black Tide

. Downstream of the River of Time, a thick black tide descended from above, gradually spreading toward the past and future, erasing all time and ultimately destroying the universe, bringing all things to an end.

“Emperor Jiang, the only way to reach the Convergence of Possibilities is through the opening where the black tide descends. To do so, one must first encounter the black tide.”

Contacting the black tide spells destruction, something no one can achieve.

Emperor Shun, observing the nearby black tide, expressed fear.

After his sanity emerged within the River of Time, he was the first to perceive its presence. He devised every possible solution, ultimately arriving at the idea of using order to counter disorder.

He established the Great Zhou Dynasty to demonstrate the feasibility of this approach.

Because of the black tide, the future was rendered unpredictable, and Emperor Shun was unsure whether he could truly resolve it.

All he could do was to do his utmost to prevent it.

Jiang Li approached the black tide.

“Emperor Jiang, be careful! The Black Tide is, after all, the embodiment of the Law of Destruction. If you’re not careful, evacuate immediately. The universe no longer fears the Black Tide.”

This was Jiang Li’s first encounter with the Black Tide. He had previously seen it only from videos or descriptions.

In the nine years of his parallel world, he had never encountered a Black Tide before.

The Black Tide was extremely thick, like a colloid, extremely elastic.

Jiang Li tentatively reached his hand in, but it felt icy cold. The Black Tide did not consume him.

“It seems the Black Tide devours everything. Inside is absolute zero.”

Absolute zero wouldn’t threaten even a celestial being, let alone Jiang Li.

Jiang Li no longer hesitated and stepped into the Black Tide.

The Black Tide devoured light and sound. The outside world could neither see nor hear any movement within the Black Tide. From Emperor Shun’s perspective, Jiang Li seemed to be completely devoured by the Black Tide.

“He must be alright,” Emperor Shun muttered to himself. He had never been so nervous.

Inside the Black Tide, Jiang Li tried to project his spiritual consciousness, but it was quickly consumed.

“Is my body the only one immune to the black tide?”

Jiang Li’s vision was pitch black, blinding him to anything.

He could only rely on his senses to find an outlet. Luckily, Jiang Li encountered a crack, undoubtedly the outlet.

Passing through it, he arrived at a place no one had ever set foot on.

Jiang Li was certain this was the convergence of possibilities.

Unlike being within the river of time, within the convergence of possibilities, Jiang Li felt every possibility, and he could develop into any of them.

This feeling was profound, something Jiang Li had never experienced before.

He could become the First Emperor, the Idle Man, the Primordial Immortal… Jiang Li could become any of these parallel versions of himself with a single thought.

Jiang Li chuckled, not even using his mind to transform into his alternate selves.

After exhausting all possibilities, Jiang Li discovered that his current state was the strongest of them all.

“Unfortunately, no possibility is as strong as I am now.”

The Possibility Convergence had been completely engulfed by the black tide, leaving no one or anything behind. Jiang Li wandered through the Possibility Convergence, finding nothing. He had no way of deducing what the Possibility Convergence had been like before based on what he had seen.

“It must have been a highly developed world, filled with powerful individuals, where anyone could become the most powerful of all possibilities.”

“In the universe, time is one-way and irreversible. Within the vast river of time, time can be freely crossed. As a Possibility Convergence situated above the vast river of time, time should also be freely crossed.”

“So, the minds of those in the Possibility Convergence are completely different from those of ordinary people.”

Jiang Li shook his head. What was the point of thinking about this now? The people here had been swallowed by the black tide, unable to be resurrected.

There was no concept of life here, nor of death. Once lost, there was no return.

“It’s time to end this.”

Jiang Li’s gaze was firm. He slowly closed his eyes. A bright light appeared between his brows, illuminating the pitch-black Possibility Convergence. It seemed as if the entire space was trembling.

Jiang Li emanated a divine aura, like an omnipotent deity. Seeing him, one could not help but bow down in worship.

Divine light transformed into magnificent and complex runes, condensing in Jiang Li’s palm, forming a seal.

This was a seal Jiang Li had never displayed before. Originating from the Dao yet transcending it, it was a technique unique to Jiang Li, unmatched.

Jiang Li softly pronounced the seal’s name.

“Original Seal.”

The black tide would have swallowed the sound, but as Jiang Li uttered these three words, the black tide seemed to be restrained by some mysterious force, unable to swallow the sound, allowing the sound of the Origin Seal to drift over the convergence of possibilities.

The Origin Seal unleashed a brilliant divine light, blooming across the sky. The black tide was like a pot of boiling water, bubbling and boiling.

Wherever the Origin Seal passed, the black tide vanished like demons and monsters encountering an immortal light, vanishing without a trace.

What is Origin? It is the beginning.

The Origin Seal’s function is to force all things back to their original state.

Born from nothingness, the black tide’s original state was naturally nothingness.

Jiang Li had studied the Origin Seal for this very day!

“Hmm?”

Jiang Li noticed that where the black tide had disappeared, a new one quickly appeared.

“It seems the black tide transforms possibility into inevitability, forcing the emergence of a black tide wherever possibilities converge. To completely resolve the problem, we must eliminate all black tides at once.”

“Interesting.”

Jiang Li soared into the air, and endless runes appeared beneath his feet. With Jiang Li as the center, the golden runes blossomed in all directions, spreading to the unknown distance.

Jiang Li released all his spiritual power, pouring it into the runes beneath his feet.

The runes spawned again, seeking the limits of the Possibility Convergence.

“Not enough, still not enough!”

Jiang Li laughed heartily, releasing his spiritual energy continuously. He had never released his spiritual energy so completely as today, and this exhilarating feeling would never return.

He had never felt this way before when he used the Taiyi Seal against the Heavenly Dao.

“Not enough? Then keep going!”

The Primordial Seal grew larger and larger, eventually reaching an unimaginable size, filling the entire Possibility Convergence.

The Possibility Convergence was so vast that no mortal unit of measurement could describe it.

The Primordial Seal was like a towering mountain. The moment it descended, light spread across the Possibility Convergence, and the black tide gradually vanished.

The divine light banished the darkness, bringing light to the Possibility Convergence.

Emperor Shun stared at the black tide of time in disbelief. Golden light shone from the cracks, piercing the darkness, and the black tide vanished in the golden light.

“Success?!”

Emperor Shun’s voice rose several degrees. He rubbed his eyes, convinced that the black tide had truly disappeared and he could see the future again.
