Chapter 454: Chapter 453: Unable to Start from Zero, I Had to Start from the Maximum Level

[Issue Special Task “Finding Pieces of the Immortal Ladder”: Eira World cohabits with gods and demons, everyone can practice magic. The seven main gods reside in the heavens, vying for the power of faith. The King of Demons leads the demon army, intending to trample over the human race, beast race, and elf race. Please become the eighth main god recognized by the seven main gods.]

[In this task, you will possession a recently deceased novice mage and start from scratch.]

[Task Reward: A piece of the Immortal Ladder.]

“It seems this Eira World is a magical world. This mission is a bit special, starting from zero. Let’s get started.”

The system wants to separate Jiang Li’s spirit and body, leaving the body in the Nine Provinces World and send the spirit to Eira World.

[Transportation in progress…]

Jiang Li felt the system was trying to extract his spiritual self, presumably to transfer it to the novice mage.

However, even with the system’s all-out effort, it was unable to extract Jiang Li’s spirit.

Jiang Li had no choice but to relax his body, kindly making the task easier for the system.

The system successfully extracted a small part of the spirit, intending to transport it to Eira World.

[Energy too large, unable to transport…]

[Energy too large, unable to transport…]

[Energy too large, unable to transport…]

Previously, the system was able to transport Jiang Li because he was a whole entity, controlling every part of his body. This time, however, the system attempted to transport only a part of Jiang Li’s spirit. Without Jiang Li deliberately suppressing it, the energy contained in this part was too astonishing and beyond the system’s capacity.

[Unable to comprehend… altering mission format… transporting the whole entity…]

Jiang Li’s body and spirit were both transported to Eira World.

“I thought I would have to start from nothing this time. Turns out I am using my Mahayana Realm power to venture into a different world again.” Jiang Li was helpless. He also wanted to experience how a newbie grows up.

“The spiritual energy in this world is somewhat diluted, nothing compared to the Nine Provinces.” The first thing Jiang Li did when he arrived in the new world was to measure the concentration of spiritual energy.

So far, only the spiritual energy concentration in the Ming Zhong World could rival that of the Nine Provinces.

Jiang Li was situated in a cemetery, in front of him was a weather-beaten tombstone. He could just make out the words ‘Novice Mage Milsi’s Grave’ on it.

“This person must be the one I was originally planned to possess.”

Using his divine sense, Jiang Li saw that the novice mage Milsi was now nothing more than a skeleton.

“…lucky I didn’t possess it, otherwise, I would have turned into a skeleton.” Jiang Li felt relieved.

It made sense. The task issued by the system was delayed for five hundred years. According to the system’s timeline, Milsi had just died, but in reality, several hundred years had passed and Milsi was nothing but a skeleton.

“Old Bai, please respond if you can hear me.” Jiang Li reached out to Bai Hongtu to calculate the difference in the speed of time.

“Did not receive, won’t respond.” Bai Hongtu stood aloft, coldly responding. He was holding the Remote Communication Talisman in one hand and commanding people to plant trees with the other.

Seeing Old Bai’s stern face, Jiang Li was not in a rush and silently smiled.

In the end, Bai Hongtu couldn’t hold back his curiosity anymore, asking with a curious expression: “Which world did you run off to play in this time?”

“Eira World, it should be a world that utilizes magic.”

“What is magic?” Bai Hongtu had never heard of it.

“It’s similar to spells, used for battles and daily life.”

“Oh.”

Bai Hongtu suppressed his curiosity, continuing to arrange the Nine Provinces Spirit Plant formation without mentioning going to the new world.

Bai Hongtu knew how to prioritize.

“Once this is over, I’ll definitely have a good time!” Bai Hongtu, seeing that the people below were planting the trees too slowly, took matters into his own hands.

…

“The speaking speed is different, roughly calculated, five hundred years have passed in the Nine Provinces, compared to a hundred years in Eira world.”

“Milsi has been dead for a hundred years, no wonder he ended up like this.”

With a sweep of his divine sense, Jiang Li discovered that he was in the human kingdom. However, unlike most people in the Nine Provinces, the people here had golden hair and blue eyes, somewhat similar to Li Nian’er and others.

Jiang Li didn’t bother disguising himself and confidently walked towards the nearby city.

With his black hair and black eyes and wearing ancient Chinese clothing, Jiang Li was quite a sight for sore eyes. People curiously looked at him.

However, they just stopped at curiosity. There were a lot of reasons for his appearance, such as being cursed, after-effects of magic, dyeing himself and so on. There was no need to shy away from attention.

“Eira World is divided into four major forces – The Holy Empire of the Human Race, Beast Kingdom, Elves living in forests, and the strongest Demon Race.”

“The Demon Race stands against the other three and still has the upper hand. Although this does have something to do with the lack of cooperation between the Human Race, Beast Race, and Elf Race, it also shows how powerful the Demon Race is.”

“The three races together have seven gods, with the Human Race holding five. The gods grant the three races the power to defeat the Demon Race, which is allowing them to manipulate Spiritual Power, or Mana here.”

“People who do not believe in God cannot use Mana.”

“The gods also prophesied that a hero would defeat the Demon King and save the world, every youth harbors this dream.”

Through scanning with his divine sense, Jiang Li learns that there is a combat role in the human race called Adventurers. Depending on the skills and magic they wield, Adventurers can be classified into warriors, mages, priests, tanks, assassins, and several other types.

Others might not be adventurers but still knew a few small spells, like the Little Fireball.

This belongs to the category of living skills, not up to par with novice mages.

Adventurers are classified into novice, second level, third level, fourth level, and fifth level.

The main income of the adventurers comes from fighting with the Demon Race. Killing a demon or selling a demon’s body can earn money.

“There are eight people at peak strength in this world. Seven who claim to be gods and one Demon King.”

Jiang Li rarely hears the word “god”. Generally, it appears as faith.

Some Immortals found the prospect bleak after becoming an Immortal, unable to become Heavenly Immortals. So they sought a different path, using faith to increase their power.

They increase their power, not for power or dominance, but to survive the harsh Immortal Realm.

They protect the common people of the Immortal Realm. The common people of the Immortal Realm regard them as faith. It is dangerous for common people be in the Immortal Realm. You never know when they might be blood sacrificed by a demon cultivator. The appearance of gods can protect common people.

Even though the purpose of the gods is not to protect common people, what they are doing is beneficial to the common people.

Today’s Immortal Realm people don’t exist anymore. The Immortals who proclaim themselves as gods are also not very advanced in cultivation, probably because they didn’t survive the disaster in the Immortal Realm.

Besides the gods of the Immortal Realm, Respected God-hidden, fabricated by Long Exist Immortal Elder is an Outer Realm Heavenly Demon’s God.

“God and the Demon King both appeared roughly four thousand years ago. I don’t know which side is the trick of the fallen Immortal. Or maybe both are?”

“I can’t conclude so soon, let’s observe some more.”

Jiang Li was not in a hurry and went to the Adventurers Guild to register as an adventurer first.

“May I ask, can I register as a Mahayana Realm adventurer here?”

The guild receptionist was completely bewildered.
