Chapter 120 - 120 Great Ambition
“This world will become a world of zombies, you all… take care.” After emotionally breaking down and crying, Luo Ying left these complex words to his classmates and teachers before rushing out of the school.
If he could save his classmates and teachers, he would choose to stay at the school. Unfortunately, he was too weak to save them, and he might even end up getting himself killed.
With the apocalypse coming, Luo Ying knew there were many things to prepare, food, water, weapons, tapes, and so on, but these were not the most important. The most important was his sister!
His sister would die today, which would be the most painful thing in his life!
He had to reverse this!
“Hey, Zhu, don’t go outside today, don’t open the windows, just stay at home and wait for me to come back!” He called his sister, Luo Zhu, and anxiously said.
“Oh.” Came a weak voice from the other end of the phone.
Luo Zhu, his sister, was two years younger than him. She was in her first year of high school, studying at the same school as him. However, she was resting at home today because she had a fever.
Today, zombie whales would land, their mouths filled with tens of thousands of zombified fish. These fish would be the cause of the city becoming a nest of zombies!
In his previous life, when he finally escaped from the school and rushed home, he found a window opened, a fish fell from the sky into the house, and his sister was infected.
Things like this absolutely cannot happen again in this life!
Fortunately, there was still some time before the zombie whales would land. He had enough time.
My name is Luo Ying, twenty-eight years old, a former fifth-tier enhancer, known as the Shadow King, almost solved the zombie crisis, but was betrayed at the crucial moment, attacked by three fifth-tier enhancers, and died with resentment.
Now I’ve reincarnated back to ten years ago. Even though my current body is that of an ordinary person, I have memories and combat experience from the future ten years. Everything I lost, all those who betrayed me… all have to be taken back!
“In this life, I will always be a few steps ahead. I have to become a sixth-tier enhancer. No, sixth-tier is not enough, I have to become an eighth-tier enhancer!” Luo Ying declared aloud on his way home.
“Oh, is that so, good ambition.”
Someone suddenly praised Luo Ying in his ear, which startled him. He instinctively jumped to one side and adopted a combat stance.
He saw the newcomer, his pupils contracted.
Jiang Li.
His brain worked fast, as for Jiang Li, he only knew that he came from another world and was incredibly powerful. Aside from that, he knew nothing. Seems Mr. Jiang had come to this world ten years ago.
“You are…”
Luo Ying pretended not to recognize Jiang Li.
Luo Ying thought that the matter of his reincarnation was too strange, even if he told others they wouldn’t believe it. Even if someone as powerful as Mr. Jiang wouldn’t necessarily believe it. Moreover, reincarnation was his biggest trump card, which must not be revealed!
He knows Mr. Jiang, but Mr. Jiang doesn’t know him. He could play an intelligence gap, establish a good relationship in advance, and learn how to become as powerful as Mr. Jiang… Luo Ying already had a series of plans in his heart.
“Have you lost your memory in only a few days?” Luo Ying’s amateurish acting skills were seen through by Jiang Li who teased him about still having his previous memories.
“Ah, have you also been reborn ten years ago, sir?” Luo Ying asked awkwardly.
“Reborn my ass.” Jiang Li said to himself whether he was reborn or not didn’t make any difference, he was already in the Mahayana stage ten years ago, “Tell me what happened.”
Jiang Li could roughly guess what had happened, but he still had to confirm with Luo Ying.
Luo Ying didn’t hide anything about the successful birth of the sixth-tier zombie after Jiang Li’s departure, the chaotic battle amongst the fifth-tier zombies, the near successful rescue of humanity, and the betrayal by his companions. He told it all to Jiang Li.
“I thought I was really dead, I didn’t expect to come back to ten years ago.” Luo Ying expressed his sentiments. The whole thing was very strange. Even though he had experienced it personally, he still found it hard to believe that he had truly been reborn.
“Indeed, it’s magic.” Although he didn’t understand the specific reason, Jiang Li made a judgement from the system’s abnormalities. It might have something to do with the fragments of the ladder to immortality.
The Banan Tower shook its body. It probably knew where the zombies of Buddha Land went. Since everything was back to ten years ago, those zombies naturally returned to their positions ten years ago.
“Have you encountered any strange incidents?” Jiang Li asked again.
Luo Ying was lost in thought, and then suddenly realized: “Upon your reminder, there really is. I found a pendant while sorting out my parents’ relics. At that time, I had a wound on my hand and the blood smeared the pendant. The pendant dissolved into light and entered my body.”
“But I didn’t notice any effect, so I didn’t pay attention to it. You mean, the reason I was able to be reborn was because of the pendant?”
Jiang Li nodded. The pendant should be a fragment of the ladder to immortality, he just didn’t know why it was in the shape of a pendant.
“Bai Hong, get me in touch with Immortal Elder.” Jiang Li called out to Bai Hongtu, inquiring about the supposedly omnipotent Immortal Elder.
Jiang Li briefly explained the situation. The Immortal Elder thought for a moment, saying: “Theoretically, it’s possible. The ladder to immortality is the proudest creation of the Immortal Realm, made by the joint efforts of many powerful beings, containing the Way of Space, the Way of Time, the Way of
Cause and Effect, etc.”
“Each world has a different flow of time, and in order to unify them, the
Immortal Realm uses the ladder to immortality to connect the Ten Thousand Realms, adjusting all the worlds’ time flow to the same speed as the Immortal
Realm.”
“If, as you said, this child has fragments of the ladder to immortality in their body, it could be the part that embodies the Way of Time. In order to prevent the host from dying, it could have reversed time.”
“It should only be the time in that world that has been reversed. The fragments of the ladder to immortality aren’t powerful enough to rewind the time of the Ten Thousand Realms. It’s still the year 4801 in Jiuzhou.”
Jiang Li now understood why the system didn’t respond until now. Before, Luo
Ying had fragments of the ladder to immortality in his body, but there was no movement, so the system couldn’t detect it. When Luo Ying died and the fragments of the ladder to immortality reversed time, the system detected it.
The Immortal Elder continued: “Do you want to extract the fragments of the ladder to immortality from this child’s body? I don’t know how to do it.”
Jiang Li confidently said: “No problem, I have a way.”
“What way?” The Immortal Elder was curious.
“Help this child solve the zombie crisis.”
The Immortal Elder thought Jiang Li was critically ill.
Due to the language barrier, Luo Ying didn’t understand what Jiang Li and the old man on the other side of the phone were talking about. However, he intuitively felt that it seemed to be related to him?
Jiang Li turned his head and said to Luo Ying, “Luo Ying, let’s make a deal. I’ll help you solve the zombie problem, and you give me the thing that allowed you to reincarnate. ”
Luo Ying was overjoyed. With such a powerful ally, the zombies would be eradicated before they can even cause a problem. Countless lives would be saved, so he naturally agreed.
The Immortal Elder, seeing how happy these two were, couldn’t help pouring cold water.
“Jiang Li, don’t say I didn’t warn you, you may not be able to directly influence this world, you can only transmit messages like sounds.”
“Huh?”
