Jiang Li’s altercation with the Black and White Impermanence was brief. When the battle ended, the two ghosts hastily returned to the Underworld while the Brahma Tower arrived.
This was its first time seeing dwellers of the Underworld utilizing the Way of Reincarnation.
“So, can you deduce how they departed?” Jiang Li held some expectations towards the Brahma Tower.
Unfortunately, the Brahma Tower was destined to disappoint him.
“I couldn’t tell. The Way of Reincarnation and the Theory of Space are totally distinct, without any overlap. They utilized the Way of Reincarnation to depart, I can’t learn it.”
The Brahma Tower’s answer did not surprise Jiang Li. When the Black and White Impermanence arrived at the zombie world previously, the Brahma Tower did not sense it at all, and it was him that discovered the situation first.
“What are you holding in your hand?”
The cover of the Book of Life and Death was marked with the characters (Imitation) in Celestial Realm text, which emphasized it was a duplicate.
The Celestial Realm, the Underworld, and Jiuzhou all used the same writing.
“It’s the Book of Life and Death, a fake.” Jiang Li flipped through the book, it was completely blank, “White Impermanence said that only those who have learned the Way of Reincarnation can use it.”
Jiang Li didn’t think it held much use, as nobody in Jiuzhou understood the Way of Reincarnation.
Brahma Tower was visibly disappointed: “I thought I could use it to estimate how long our Spiritual Treasures could live.”
Jiang Li found Brahma Tower’s train of thought intriguing.
“You’re alright, right?” Jiang Li landed, ignoring the astonished expressions of those around him, and asked Luo Zhu with concern.
After the departure of the Black and White Impermanence, the crowd was still shaken, trembling without the strength to stand up.
They thought they were going to die.
They witnessed Jiang Li battling fiercely with the Black and White Impermanence, or more accurately, getting utterly crushed, which conveyed the terrifying power of this man.
How did Luo Zhu come to know him?
Although there was no evidence, their intuition told them that the black and white figures and this heavyweight far surpassed the previously seen fourth-order whale zombies. It was beyond their comprehension.
People always assumed Luo Zhu to be all show and no substance, equipped with only her good looks and pretense. Now it seemed, she wasn’t pretend, but rather saw them as childish.
Luo Zhu indeed found them childish and lacked a sense of urgency.
After the zombie crisis, there was no guarantee that other dangers wouldn’t surface, today being a perfect example.
Jiang Li had lived with Luo Zhu and her brother for six months, during which he recounted many extraordinary events, some of which were perilous.
Luo Zhu’s horizons have long since surpassed an ordinary person’s.
She intended to challenge her brother for the position of Human Emperor.
“Mr. Jiang’s intervention was timely, I’m okay.” Luo Zhu quickly calmed down.
Jiang Li nodded, “The Black and White Impermanence shouldn’t have been able to harm you.”
During the fight, Jiang Li noticed that the Black and White Impermanence could pass through objects in this world, which indicated that they could not influence this world.
The Way of Reincarnation, likewise, could not directly impact a world that is reversing time.
“Little Zhu, are you alright?” Luo Ying was swiftly transformed into the Shadow King Buddha and hurried over, while Wu Zhi was the last one to arrive.
“Is that Mr. Luo?!” People exclaimed. Luo Ying’s image had appeared in newspapers, TV, and online. Everyone knows his appearance.
“Could it be… Could it be that Luo Zhu is none other than the Luo Zhu who can compete with Mr. Luo, Mr. Luo’s biological sister?!” The crowd gasped in surprise, becoming stunned by Luo Zhu’s emerging identity.
What they didn’t know was that Luo Ying was currently at the Middle Foundation Establishment stage, while Luo Zhu had already reached the Late Foundation Establishment stage. If the two ever battled, the odds of Luo Ying losing were high.
“Let’s talk about it back home.” Jiang Li noticed through his Divine Sense that official forces had surrounded the school. They seemed unwilling to let news of the day’s events leak out.
The officials naturally wouldn’t dare to stop Luo Ying and the others. The four returned to Luo Ying’s house.
“Mr. Luo.” A person at the gate respectfully greeted.
“With Mr. Jiang here, there’s no need to address me as such.” Luo Ying turned to explain, “He’s a liaison officer sent by the government.”
“Come in together.” The arrival of the Black and White Impermanence was not merely Luo Zhu’s concern, but something faced by all inhabitants of the planet.
The liaison officer recognized Jiang Li as the rumored ancestor of the Luo family. Yes, it was him, and he brought the tower with him.
“Also, call Changcun Immortal and Bai Hongtu over.”
Jiang Li instructed the Brahma Tower to summon the two so they could discuss the matter together.
Jiang Li shared his conjecture regarding the Black and White Impermanence, and Changcun Immortal nodded his approval of Jiang Li’s interpretation.
Changcun Immortal found Jiang Li’s luck to be absurd. Despite spending tens of thousands of years in the Celestial Realm, he had never encountered anyone from the Underworld. Yet, Jiang Li managed to encounter them during his casual stroll.
The liaison officer was left gaping. He never considered the fact that they were originally dead, and it was Luo Ying who used his incomprehensible divine skill to remodel time and save them.
This was no less miraculous than the work of immortals.
Luo Ying was surprised to discover the repercussions of his time reversal, but this was out of his control.
“It’s a pity that the Black and White Impermanence rushed off too swiftly, not even taking the book with them. Otherwise, I’d have been able to clarify the matter properly and understand the Underworld’s stance.”
Jiang Li shook his head regretfully. He had no idea why they were in such a hurry. He had hoped to hitch a ride to the Celestial Realm with the Underworld.
However, there was no need to rush. Even a duplicate Book of Life and Death held great significance to the Underworld. They would undoubtedly look for him.
As a storage fee, a trip to the Underworld was not expensive.
“Old Bai, draw two Communication Talismans for Luo Ying and Luo Zhu.” Jiang Li didn’t summon Bai Hongtu just to watch the spectacle.
“It’s very blood-consuming.”
“Once I return, I’ll treat you to blood tofu. Do you prefer pig’s blood or duck’s blood?”
“Won’t kill you to be frugal.” Bai Hongtu bit his finger and started drawing on yellow paper.
The Remote Communication Talisman was extremely difficult to make. Even after Bai Hongtu reached the Transcendence Tribulation Stage, it could only be produced in limited quantities. As this required his pure blood, once it was used up, only time could restore it.
Without Jiang Li needing to say more, Bai Hongtu managed to create a communication talisman exactly to his preference.
“Considering that both of you can’t touch objects from other worlds, this is a custom-built communication talisman. It can be activated with voice commands without the need to input Spiritual Energy. I have stored a sufficient amount of it, which won’t run out within a hundred years.” Bai Hongtu explained to the siblings on how to use the custom-built talisman.
Luo Ying attempted to touch it, and as expected, his hand passed through the talisman, not feeling anything.
“If the Black and White Impermanence return, convey to them that I’m backing you. According to the Book of Life and Death, I possess a vast amount of merit, they should give me face.”
“Then use the Communication Talisman to contact me.”
Luo Ying and Luo Zhu thought Jiang Li was as reliable as always.
“As for you, or more like the governments of this world, whether you want to disclose this matter, or keep it as a secret, it’s up to your discretion. Suit yourself; I will not interfere.”
The liaison officer nodded his head like a pecking chicken, realizing after their interactions that Mr. Jiang, who appeared to be an ancestor of the Luo family, probably held another identity. Additionally, his abilities surpassed the government’s initial estimates.
After everyone left, the liaison officer carefully asked Luo Ying.
“Mr. Luo, who is Mr. Jiang…”
“He? He is the true savior of our world.”
The liaison officer secretly observed Luo Ying’s expression and noticed his admiration and longing.
