Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 415
Chapter 415: No more formalities, we will directly merge into Kyushu
World Federation. The co-chairman, the de facto global ruler, smiled upon seeing Luo Ying and Luo Zhu. “Saint Master Luo Ying and Grand Master Luo Zhu are here. Everyone applaud and welcome them.”
The two nodded in return and took their seats in the special guest seats, slightly higher than the representatives from other countries.
“I believe everyone already knows the agenda for this conference.”
“Yes, it’s about how to deal with the Soul-Catcher. Previous discussions haven’t yielded any useful conclusions. I hope this time will yield something different.”
As usual, the representatives from various countries delivered empty, rote speeches that offered no concrete results, or even if they did, they were of no use against the Soul-Catcher.
However, some took a different approach.
“I feel like all this talk is completely pointless.”
The leader of the alliance grew interested. “Representative Hong, tell me what you think.”
“According to Saint Master Luo Ying and Grand Master Luo Zhu, the underworld is a place where reason and rules are respected, right?”
The brother and sister nodded. They had learned their knowledge of the underworld from Jiang Li, who in turn had learned it from Immortal Elder Changcun.
If knowledge weren’t transferable, Representative Hong’s knowledge would be secondhand.
“So, we should just follow the rules,”
the leader of the alliance asked. “Are you saying that we should explain to the Black and White Impermanence that our resurrection was due to force majeure, and hope they’ll give us an exception and give us some leniency?”
Representative Hong shook his head. “Our laws have a system for self-surrender, a sign of a mature civilization. Similarly, the underworld has a system for self-surrender.”
“So what you’re saying?”
“We commit suicide and surrender to the underworld.”
“…”
Representative Hong continued, “With any luck, we might even be reborn as humans in our next life.”
“Alright, stop talking,” the leader of the alliance said, silencing Representative Hong’s impulsive speech.
“Does anyone have any other ideas?”
“I heard that the underworld practices Yin De (yin dhā) (yin dè). The more yin dè (yin dè), the better the afterlife.”
“The more good deeds you do, the more yin dè (yin dè).”
“So what do you mean?”
“I’ve contacted livestock and aquatic farms in our country, and they’ve stopped killing animals, released them all, and everyone is on a vegetarian diet.”
“The livestock and aquatic products released are yin dè (yin dè).”
“And our country has even introduced a yin dè increasing machine,”
the representative said, pulling out something resembling an electric fan with a fish tied to it, its lowest blades immersed in water.
“What’s yin dè? It’s getting the fish back into the water.”
“As long as I turn the fan, the fish will enter the water. Each time it enters, I gain yin dè. Repeat this process, and there will be a constant flow of yin dè.”
Luo Ying was puzzled. “But when the fish comes out of the water, doesn’t that subtract yin dè?”
“The fan made the fish come out of the water. Why should it subtract my yin dè?”
The joint leader: “…”
You two might as well be talking nonsense.
“I have another idea.”
“Tell me.”
“Don’t we often burn paper money for the dead? How about we burn paper money for the Black and White Impermanence and bribe them?”
“But does the underworld recognize our paper money? The King of Hell on our paper money is all made up.”
“How about we print other big figures?”
“Who?”
“The ancestor of the Luo family, oh no, it’s the benevolent Jiang Renhuang in the world of Jiuzhou. How about we print him on the paper money?”
“Didn’t Saint Master Luo Ying say that Jiang Renhuang has done so much good deeds. Such good deeds must be rare in the underworld. After Jiang Renhuang’s death, he should have become a very important figure in the underworld. The underworld should recognize his image as paper money.”
Luo Ying shook his head: “Don’t think about it. Mr. Jiang said that people in the human world often burn billions and hundreds of billions of paper money to the underworld. If the underworld recognizes paper money, there would have been inflation long ago.”
“That seems to make sense.”
Luo Zhu felt that it was weird to discuss burning paper money in such a serious occasion.
“I think you should first consider whether the burned paper money can reach the underworld.”
An unfamiliar voice echoed throughout the venue, and agents from various countries shuddered, drawing their pistols and on high alert.
Only Luo Ying and Luo Zhu behaved differently, their faces lit with delighted smiles.
“No need to welcome me like that.” Jiang Li appeared silently and waved to the agents.
The agents were shocked to find an invisible force pressing down on their hands, gently yet with an unyielding firmness, forcing them to lower their pistols.
Jiang Li found this group’s thinking quite amusing. But then again, could paper money with my portrait on it actually be burned?
“Mr. Jiang!”
The brother and sister excitedly ran down the stage to greet Jiang Li.
Could this unassuming figure be the legendary Emperor of Kyushu? The representatives from various countries were startled, their postures straightened.
Not even a single image of Jiang Li from his time in the zombie world had survived, and none of the representatives had ever seen him.
But they had heard legends about him from Luo Ying and Luo Zhu.
Luo Ying and Luo Zhu might seem powerful, but in Jiuzhou, the Jindan stage is rife.
Luo Ying, in his Shadow King Buddha state, can reach the Huashen stage, but in Jiuzhou, he’d be no more than a king of a small country or a lord of a large city.
Even the strongest sixth-rank zombie in their world wouldn’t make a ripple in Jiuzhou; a single Fusion stage cultivator could defeat five or six.
Above the Fusion stage is the Tribulation Crossing stage, and above that is the Mahayana stage, the legendary Jiang Renhuang.
“You’ve cultivated well, with rapid progress and a solid foundation.” Jiang Li patted the siblings. He could see that, though they were at the Jindan stage, their combat power was no match for an ordinary early Nascent Soul cultivator. He
was indeed their own disciple.
“Mr. Jiang, can you truly influence us directly?” Luo Ying excitedly said.
“I’ve met an expert in the Way of Time. I’ve asked him to repair your River of Time.” In the Way of Time, Emperor Shun surpassed all others, even the immortals.
“Greetings, Emperor Jiang.” The Joint Leader didn’t shake hands, but instead cupped his fists towards Jiang Li.
“Hmm, are you the ruler of this planet?” Jiang Li had used his spiritual sense to examine the current state of the zombie world.
“Not really, but everyone has given me the privilege of representing the entire planet.” The Joint Leader was modest, not daring to boast of his high status in front of Jiang Li. No matter how
high his status, he was still just a planetary leader. With a single finger, he could implode a planet.
“I came here this time to tell you…”
the leader of the alliance said directly, “We are willing to merge into the Jiuzhou world.”
“I mean, should we first allow a small group of people to communicate and learn from each other…”
“We are willing to merge into the Jiuzhou world.”
The leader of the alliance’s eyes were blazing. Several of their national leaders had already asked Luo Ying how to merge into the Jiuzhou world.
Luo Ying’s answer was that they must first unify the voices of all countries so that their planets could be viewed as a whole.
This was the real reason why the various countries united and formed a federation.
To protect themselves from being taken away by the Black and White Impermanence, the most reliable way was to merge into the Jiuzhou world.
