Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 242

Chapter 242 Jiang Li Wants to Retire

第242章想退休的江离

“国运可真是个让人又爱又恨的东西。”

若非有国运拖累，姬止早就成为合体期，回到过去痛揍江离。

姬止继续说道：“还是信仰之力好用，想用就用，想不用就不用。听说江离这小子把九州的信仰之力放到青铜鼎中，留给下一任人皇用。”

“也不知道下一任人皇是谁，大概是不如江离的。”虽然江离很会搞事，但玉隐也要承认江离的能力和人品在历代人皇是出类拔萃的。

“又在背后议论我。”江离一来到这里就听到两人说到自己。

“We were discussing which descendant would be the next Human Emperor. You’ve always had good judgment. Do you have anyone you like?”

“There are a few, but without trials and tribulations, I’m not sure which of them will become Human Emperor. Let’s not talk about that. Let’s talk about the Lu Ban Sect,”

Yu Yin said. “Let me explain.”

“After the puppets gained intelligence, the Lu Ban Sect began marrying them. Some people in Jiuzhou were prejudiced against the Lu Ban Sect, believing they were finding fake wives. Unhappy, the Lu Ban Sect planned to use legal force to justify the marriage.”

“The laws of the Tianyuan Dynasty are less authoritative than those of the Great Zhou. They’re moving their clan to the Great Zhou to marry.”

The Lu Ban Sect was a major sect with four members in the Fusion Stage. Breaking away from the Tianyuan Dynasty would damage its national fortune.

The Great Zhou was also unwilling to accept Lu Ban Sect members. The Great Zhou’s marriage laws stipulated that any marriage between intelligent beings of the opposite s*x would be recognized by the Great Zhou.

This rule was made with consideration for the existence of not only humans but also demons, spirits, and other creatures.

They hadn’t imagined someone would be so outrageous as to marry a spiritual treasure. This idea was too far-fetched.

It was a legal loophole, damaging the Great Zhou Dynasty’s destiny.

Jiang Li’s teeth ached as he listened. Today, the Great Zhou allowed humans to marry puppets, tomorrow someone proposed spiritual treasures transforming, and the day after tomorrow, someone wanted elixirs to transform.

Why were other Human Emperors preoccupied with resisting the extraterritorial demons, while he faced such bizarre problems!

How could I, such an honest person, handle these issues?

Why couldn’t everyone just cultivate honestly?

Ji Zhi and Yu Yin glanced at Jiang Li, their expressions revealing his thoughts. “

Now you know how the Old Emperor felt when he saw you and Bai Hongtu?

” Jiang Li pondered whether to quickly launch the Human Emperor competition, select one, and retire early to enjoy a peaceful life.

He’d already been working for over three hundred years. How many three hundred years could a person have in their lifetime… It seemed like those in the Mahayana stage could live for a hundred thousand years.

It didn’t matter; he just wanted to retire.

Jiang Li began to try to solve the problem: “Is it too late to change the laws of the Great Zhou now?”

“The fastest process would take half a month. I saw with my double pupils that the Lu Ban Sect would arrive in the Great Zhou in ten days.”

“Is there a faster way?”

Ji Zhi thought for a moment. “There really is.”

Jiang Li was delighted: “What?”

“Initiate a wartime state. All laws can be modified at will.”

“Just pretend I didn’t ask.”

Jiang Li knew what a wartime state meant. It would require a large-scale war between the Great Zhou and another country, a matter of life and death.

By then, the Lu Ban Sect’s problem would be solved, but they would face a much larger

war. Besides, the Human Emperor’s duty was to prevent war, not to incite it.

“How about trying to persuade the Lu Ban Sect?”

“No, you can’t stop them from getting married. If you tell puppets they can’t get married, they’ll get angry.”

“How about this? You go back to the Great Zhou to change the marriage laws. Yu Yin and I will go to the Lu Ban Sect to see what’s going on. Maybe we can hold them off.”

“Okay.” Ji Zhi and Yu Yin agreed to this half-measure.

…

The Luban Sect, like other factions in the Tianyuan Dynasty, was once adamant, believing that a Daoist partner was unnecessary and unwilling to enter into marriage.

After all, marriage risked betrayal.

People’s hearts are often hidden, so does marrying guarantee your Daoist partner’s sincerity? It’s

better not to marry than to marry someone you don’t trust.

This was the view of cultivators above the Foundation Establishment stage.

Qi Condensation cultivators had little money, and their Daoist partners wouldn’t benefit from their betrayal.

When their puppets gained intelligence, the Luban Sect realized it wasn’t that they didn’t seek Daoist partners, but that they couldn’t find the right ones.

Who could refuse a puppet that could change its appearance to your liking, was devoted to you, and could be used day and night?

At least the Luban Sect couldn’t.

Moreover, the soul is the criterion that distinguishes the living from the inanimate; anyone with a soul is, of course, considered alive.

Jiang Li shook his head: “Your Tianyuan Dynasty, by encouraging competition, has scared cultivators away from even marriage. It’s too dark.”

“I’m working hard to change.”

Yu Yin also felt the Tianyuan Dynasty was overly competitive.

Before, she was only in the Fusion Stage, and some people secretly disobeyed her orders. Now that she has reached the Tribulation Crossing Stage, she has truly become the master of the dynasty. No one can disobey her, and she can use her power to change the country.

The two wanted to observe the situation first and then make plans, so they did not show up rashly.

Before they entered the Luban Sect, they were shocked by the two puppets at the sect gate.

These two puppets are very different from the mainstream puppets in Jiuzhou. They are made of special metals and are fifty meters high. In the sunlight, the metal is reflecting, giving people a feeling of being full of power. Although they are humanoid, they have sharp edges and corners, unlike humans.

In the world of ringing bells, this is called a mecha.

They heard the disciples of the Luban Sect talking about the two puppets.

“These two puppets are really majestic.”

“Of course not. I heard that this was the inspiration our elder got after talking with the elder of Dao Sect about the world of ringing bells. The elder said that he didn’t understand things like circuit boards and chips in the world of ringing bells, but he could do something with the characteristics of Jiuzhou, use puppetry to control metal, and rush it out overnight.”

“And the chest of the metal puppet can be opened for people to sit in and control it.”

“You are worthy of being an elder, your thinking is quick.”

A disciple of Lu Ban Sect enviously stroked the metal puppet: “It’s so handsome, it seems like I’m going to drive it for once.”

“Let’s not talk about this. Have you decided whether to stay here or go to Da Zhou?”

“Of course I’m going to Da Zhou. My wife and I are childhood sweethearts. We have been together since she was still a piece of wood. It’s a pity that the world has so little knowledge and can’t understand our love.”

“That’s right, what’s wrong with marrying a puppet? At least we love each other. Can those who mock us guarantee that their marriage is emotional and not forced to get married because of their age?”

Jiang Li and Yu Yin walked around the two disciples and came to the inside of Lu Ban Sect.

The Luban Sect was filled with an ambiguous atmosphere. Disciples and their puppets exchanged glances, showing affection and affection. Their combined power was unparalleled, a true testament to the ultimate in synergy between cultivators and magical treasures.

Jiang Li suddenly thought: After the Tianhuang Halberd gained intelligence, he hadn’t had a proper conversation with it. Was he simply too careless about his weapon?
