Chapter 184: The Big Rotten Potato

“Let’s return to the Mortal Realm first! Things felt a bit strange in the Illusory Realm. The Five-Tone Ruins made me very uneasy. Jiuxuanzi will probably fall to demonic ways within a day or two. I think this secret can no longer be kept hidden. We need to go stabilize the Mortal Realm.”

Even though she had become the strongest True Immortal on the surface, Fairy Zhao remained very cautious. She had to be cautious. Just at this moment, there were three Veteran Deities and Demons, a Demonic Dragon, and Jiuxuanzi who were all more powerful than her. These five were all Great Luotian Immortals. Under normal circumstances, any one of them could easily defeat ten of her.

“I’ll lead the way. Old… hey, wife, you stay low-key.” Meeting Zhao Qingxie’s murderous gaze, Li Si quickly changed his form of address.

“What nonsense are you talking about? Hurry up! Something has already happened in the Mortal Realm.” Zhao Qingxie’s senses were much sharper than Li Si’s now. Of course, within the Illusory Realm, Li Si was still the strongest tank.

They raced like the wind all the way to the Hall of Fate. From afar, they saw a sky filled with evil energy there, with some unknown shadow covering the place.

“Muan! How did his corpse get here? Quickly, go around!”

Zhao Qingxie exclaimed in surprise. Li Si had long felt a sense of dread and did not dare to approach the Hall of Fate at all. He turned around and rushed in another direction.

Without being able to return to the Hall of Fate, they could not instantly return to the Mortal Realm using the Idol of Fortune.

But Li Si’s powerful spirit could mark the Mortal Realm from a great distance.

“Li Si, can you be sure of the route? Without the Idol of Fortune as a marker, the journey back is quite far.” Zhao Qingxie was a bit worried. They, as World Guardian True Immortals, had never encountered such a situation before.

At the very least, they always carried the Idol of Fortune with them. It was like diving into deep water; the Idol of Fortune was the safety rope. But now, they didn’t even have the rope.

“I can. Can’t you sense it? It’s so clear. I can even sense my body and the Yunhua Law Seal. Hmm, it seems like Chisongzi and Yuqingzi have died. Two World Guardian True Immortals are gone. But strangely, the Mortal Realm is still incredibly stable. And there’s actually an extra one thousand five hundred portions of Fortune of Heaven and Earth in the Yunhua Law Seal. Hey, are you listening?”

Li Si answered very naturally. As a result, Zhao Qingxie looked at him as if he were a monster. The distance to the Mortal Realm from here was at least ten billion miles.

Of course, this wasn’t because Zhao Qingxie was intimidated by the distance of ten billion miles. With an Immortal Artifact in hand, even dozens or hundreds of times that distance would be no problem. The issue was that once the distance became too great, her Immortal Spirit found it difficult to accurately lock on. It wasn’t like those monsters in the Soul Cultivation System who didn’t have any concept of distance within the Illusory Realm.

Li Si soon realized this as well. Although Zhao Qingxie was flying very fast, in his eyes, she was still as slow as an ox, or even a snail.

In just this short amount of time, he could have gone to the Mortal Realm, taken a bath, brushed his teeth, eaten breakfast, and come back. Yet Zhao Qingxie told him that if she wanted to conceal her true power, it would take at least three days to reach the Mortal Realm.

“Then don’t hide your power.”

“Even then, it would take two days.” Zhao Qingxie gripped Li Si tightly, feeling that he was like a little bee at the moment, buzzing around, appearing here and there. She felt like swatting him dead.

“Alright, don’t worry. Let’s take it slow. It actually doesn’t make much difference. I can give commands remotely.” Li Si spoke rapidly. In just this short while, he had already issued hundreds of Divine Decrees.

Moreover, he was feeling more and more that the Illusory Realm was a good place. It was so convenient here.

In the Mortal Realm, he had thought that Spirit Journey for ten thousand miles was amazing. But now he realized he was like a frog at the bottom of a well, viewing the sky from a narrow perspective. Within the Illusory Realm, his divine sense didn’t even need to journey; a single thought could span hundreds of billions of miles.

Not only could he see the Mortal Realm clearly, but he could also see everything happening within his own territory. He even saw the gloomy Lingjingzi, who didn’t even notice. Oh, and there was someone following behind him.

“Who?”

In the Mortal Realm, the Scar-Faced Woman who was following Lingjingzi suddenly shouted coldly. She felt a chill down her spine. Something was spying on her. Darn it, who dared to spy on a Great Luotian Immortal?

Li Si’s divine sense swept past without giving the Scar-Faced Woman a chance to track or lock onto it.

The Scar-Faced Woman wanted to deduce who it was, but in the end, her rich wandering experience made her choose caution. While the strength of a Great Luotian Immortal was indeed invincible in the Mortal Realm, some taboos were truly deadly.

Soon, Li Si saw Tianjizi and Tianyuanzi. These two were ten thousand miles apart, each protecting a city cluster with a total population of over six hundred thousand. They looked as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

Outside the cities, the City Protection Arrays were fully activated. Countless Evil Entities and Evil Spirits were besieging them.

Wow, in just a few days, the Mortal Realm had turned into a land of demons and monsters?

“Ahem, Fellow Daoist Tianji, Fellow Daoist Tianyuan, can you hear me?”

Li Si felt he needed to encourage these two. Although they were World Guardian True Immortals, they had not abandoned or given up on a single ordinary person. In fact, they couldn’t give up even if they wanted to. The Calamity Qi on them was clearly visible.

In the Mortal Realm, Tianjizi and Tianyuanzi, who were managing the city defenses, were greatly startled. What was this? What voice could directly sound in their hearts?

“May we ask who you are, Senior?”

“Haha, I am not a senior. I am Xu Changsheng. I just wanted to chat with you two and incidentally send you some red envelopes. Don’t worry. I am not in a convenient position right now, but I will return to the Mortal Realm in at most a few days.”

“To be honest, you should still relocate here. My territory is large enough, and it’s still sunny and warm with flowers blooming here.”

Li Si tried to be as approachable as possible while making small talk, and incidentally bestowed a portion of White Fortune to each of them as a red envelope.

Hmm, originally Li Si wanted to give a big red envelope, but he discovered that these two each had over 150 portions of Fortune of Heaven and Earth in their possession, and it was their private property. Could he tolerate that?

Next, Li Si continued to observe the Mortal Realm, as if he had discovered a new continent, a new game. He even lost interest in admiring the fairy beside him.

“Wait, is this Chisongzi’s Chiyan Sect?”

Li Si soon discovered a city that was being besieged by countless Evil Entities and Evil Spirits. The City Protection Array was already on the verge of collapse. The person in charge of this city was Chisongzi’s disciple—the same guy who was in the Divine Transformation Realm back then.

It seemed they could only hold on for another hour.

Without thinking too much, Li Si directly bestowed ten waves of red envelope rain upon everyone in the city. Then he did it again, repeatedly jumping back and forth, brushing until he raised Mo Yi’s cultivation to the Void Refinement Realm, raised his three Nascent Soul Realm junior brothers to the Divine Transformation Realm, and raised twenty-one Golden Core Realm cultivators to the Nascent Soul Realm.

He was rich, so he could be willful.

After all, Fairy Sister was watching right beside him.

This city was safe now.

But another city, belonging to Yuqingzi, was a step too late. It was directly annihilated by countless particularly powerful Evil Entities and Evil Spirits.

Li Si could send red envelopes from across the Illusory Realm, but he could not deliver divine punishment.

Next, his divine sense continued to explore along the Mortal Realm. Soon, he discovered those two Veteran Deities and Demons again, sneaking around at the edge between the Mortal Realm and the Illusory Realm. He didn’t know what they were doing.

Li Si did not disturb them, letting his divine sense detour far around them. Now he knew that the Heavenly Eye Soul Cultivator was not all-powerful; at the very least, it could be sensed by Great Luotian Immortals.

As he continued exploring, Li Si’s Soul Power became insufficient. Initially, his Soul Power consumption rate was 100,000 points per second. Later, it increased to one million per second. His massive reserve of one hundred million points of Soul Power would be completely depleted in just one hundred seconds.

But it didn’t matter; he was least lacking in Soul Power. Right now, Li Si had only one thought: he wanted to see the overall outline of the Mortal Realm. Perhaps this was a side effect of being a transmigrator—he always wanted to see if the world had an edge.

The more he looked, the more horrified he became. It wasn’t that the Mortal Realm was infinitely large, but that it was completely devastated. Many places in the Mortal Realm were completely shattered. Endless Evil Qi bred, and countless terrifying Evil Entities were gesturing. The entire Mortal Realm, aside from his own territory, had completely rotted away.

As for the Blood Cloud covering the Mortal Realm, that wasn’t Blood Cloud at all. Instead, they were countless huge tentacles, like pipes, inserted into the Mortal Realm.

He also saw cold, dead Mist, endlessly drifting out from the unknown depths of the Illusory Realm.

Within the Mist, countless powerful Void Monsters looked at the Mortal Realm and at him with ill intentions.

That’s right. The moment he discovered them, they also captured his presence. These Void Monsters possessed the Heavenly Eye just like him.

Li Si forcibly withdrew his divine sense. Relying on his unlimited Soul Power, he continuously purged himself, thus avoiding spiritual contamination.

“What did you see? I called you just now, but you didn’t hear me.”

Zhao Qingxie’s voice rang out.

“I saw the Mortal Realm, the entire Mortal Realm. It looked like a big rotten potato…”

“Stop talking!”

Zhao Qingxie suddenly shouted. A trace of black energy appeared on her originally holy and radiant face, but she quickly forced it away.

“What terrifying contamination poison! I almost fell for it.”

Li Si was surprised. Was it that terrifying? He quickly checked the information prompts from the Fate Forge. There were none. He had not been contaminated. Oh, at least when he saw the full view of the Mortal Realm, he didn’t feel any contamination.

However, among the Void Monsters in the Mist, a few were quite formidable, probably even more terrifying than Muan’s big pig trotter.

“I’ve changed my mind. You should ascend and leave this muddy pit.”

Everything he had just seen with his Heavenly Eye made Li Si deeply realize that this Mortal Realm truly could not be saved anymore. Even if he had unlimited Fortune of Heaven and Earth, there wasn’t enough foundation left in the Mortal Realm to support it.

Because Fortune of Heaven and Earth required things from the Mortal Realm to stabilize it.

Now, he had a population of five million people. Combined with those protected by Tianjizi, Tianyuanzi, and Mo Yi, the total was less than six million people. If these people gathered together, along with all the World Guardian True Immortals, they could barely stabilize thirty thousand portions of Fortune of Heaven and Earth.

But could thirty thousand portions of Fortune of Heaven and Earth save this completely rotten Mortal Realm?

Impossible.

The Fate Forge was not all-powerful either.

Unless those three Veteran Deities and Demons were willing to step in and stabilize it, but that would be even worse than making Li Si commit suicide and transmigrate again.

One shouldn’t be too selfish.

Zhao Qingxie looked at him. There was one thing she didn’t mention. Just now, when Li Si described it, she actually saw the full view of the Mortal Realm. She didn’t see it directly, but when Li Si described it, she saw it. What this implied was extremely terrifying!

It seemed that within the Illusory Realm, Li Si had obtained some kind of indescribable ability. Could it be that this guy’s Soul Cultivation System had leveled up again?

“Let’s talk after we return to the Mortal Realm. From now on, don’t speak, and don’t look around randomly.”

“If you’re really bored, you can look at me…”
