Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 488

Chapter 486 Idle People

Hearing the other person jokingly address him as “comrade,” Idlers Jiang Li felt a sense of closeness.

As fellow Jiang Lis, whether or not they harbored hatred, they should be closer.

“The extraterritorial demons aren’t a threat, and I’m invincible, so naturally I’m going incognito, pretending to be everywhere.”

“I have to hide my identity. Too many people recognize my face, so I have to keep a low profile. You and I are in similar situations, right?” Idlers Jiang Li asked with a chuckle.

Jiang Li smiled, but said nothing.

“I remember one time, I was having dinner in a restaurant, and a young girl from the Qi training stage stumbled over to me, followed by a group of ferocious cultivators. I easily fought them off and saved the girl. The group of cultivators threatened that the ancestor would not let me go.”

“Guess what happened, the ancestor who was said to be so godly was only a Spirit Transformation stage. As soon as I revealed my true identity, the so-called ancestor immediately kowtowed and begged the Human Emperor to spare his life.”

“After I inquired about the reason, I learned that the ancestor had taken a fancy to the girl and wanted to kidnap her to make more than a dozen concubines. To protect the girl, I claimed that I had established a relationship with the girl. Upon hearing this, the ancestor was so scared that he kowtowed repeatedly and fled in panic.”

“Later, I really established a relationship with this girl, and no one dared to mess with her and her family anymore. Later, her family became a prominent family in the local area, and several Spirit Transformation stage cultivators even came to congratulate her family.”

“Another time, a small sect colluded with local officials of the Mengjiang Dynasty and showed off their power to me. I revealed my identity as the Human Emperor, and they were scared to tremble like chaff.”

“I punished the small sect and local officials a little. I’m sure they won’t do it again in the future.”

Jiang Li frowned slightly: “Are you sure there is no one behind the officials, and there is no situation of officials protecting each other?”

The idle Jiang Li laughed: “Haha, when I first met you, I thought you were a serious person. You made a joke out of the blue and really scared me.”

“There must be officials protecting each other, but there is no need to investigate. What if a long list is investigated and the officialdom of the Mengjiang Dynasty is shaken?”

Jiang Li has a different opinion: “I don’t care what will happen to the officialdom of the Mengjiang Dynasty, but I know that under the protection of officials, there will only be filth, and the unlucky ones will only be mortals and low-level cultivators.”

The idle Jiang Li shook his head slightly. He felt that the other party was too idealistic. This was the tacit understanding of those in high positions and there was no need to break it.

There must be a reason why the order can be maintained for thousands of years. He only needs to follow the rules. Why bother to create a new order? It is too troublesome.

He continued, “I’ve encountered bullying several times. The other party thought I was weak, so I just watched quietly. When they were about to make a move, I would release my Mahayana pressure. You know what, it feels good. I’ve experienced it many times, and I still feel good.”

Jiang Li frowned even more: “Just like that? You haven’t tried to change the phenomenon of bullying, set an example, reason with the weak, and use your actions to tell the world that right and wrong are determined by reason, not the size of the fist?”

The idle Jiang Li didn’t like what Jiang Li said: “What you said, as a Mahayana cultivator, an invincible existence, should I lower my value and reason with the weak? Then what am I practicing for? Practice for freedom, not to restrain myself.”

“Bullying the weak, the strong preying on the weak, survival of the fittest, this is the law of nature. Why should I violate the law and go my own way?”

“At the beginning of my journey, I also thought about reasoning with people, but I soon discovered that in this world, reasoning doesn’t work. Fists are the greatest reason.”

“After recognizing this, I quickly changed myself and adapted to the environment of Jiuzhou.”

Jiang Li stood up, brushed the nonexistent dust from his knees, and said softly, “I changed Jiuzhou. The First Emperor was changed by Jiuzhou, and you were changed by the system and Jiuzhou.”

“Commander Liu is right. You’re just an idler, doing nothing but defending against the extraterritorial demons.”

Jiang Li finally understood. Commander Liu’s calling him an idler wasn’t a joke, but a statement of fact. “Idler”

Jiang Li was displeased, feeling Jiang Li’s tone was unkind, like a subtle accusation of his idleness.

“That’s harsh! I’m doing the same thing as all previous Human Emperors, even more perfectly than they did. How can I be considered an idler?”

Jiang Li suddenly moved, grabbing the man’s neck fiercely. His expression was cold, and he spoke each word with a measured tone, “Then let me tell you what a Human Emperor should do.” “Idler”

Jiang Li was horrified. He struggled left and right, exerting all his strength, but found he couldn’t get Jiang Li’s hand to loosen even a little.

He saw the rage hidden beneath Jiang Li’s cold eyes, like a volcano about to erupt, and he felt terrified.

“You can indeed kill the extraterritorial demon easily, and you can indeed gain the praise of the people you rescued.”

“Yes…” The idle Jiang Li was about to say something when he was rudely interrupted by Jiang Li.

“But have you ever thought about it? It will take time for you to get there. During this period, how many people will die in the attacks of the extraterritorial demons? You only saw the survivors thanking you, but didn’t see the tragic plight of the dead!”

“This is the reason for setting up the Jiuzhou Protectorate Array!”

“And the Jiuzhou map? You actually gave up on this matter just because you had an ambiguous relationship with a disciple of Tianji Tower.”

“Yes, you are in the Mahayana stage now and don’t need a map. Why haven’t you thought about it? When you were weak, you couldn’t afford a map. What happened to you, you will happen to others again?”

“The cheap elixirs of the Spiritual Medicine Sect can benefit a large number of mortals and low-level cultivators. You actually think that this matter has nothing to do with you. You only need to give some small favors to the guards of the Human Emperor Palace.”

“You even erased the consciousness of the world’s spiritual treasures. Did Bai Hongtu tell you that the existence of spiritual treasures also has benefits and will enhance the combat effectiveness of cultivators? This is an opportunity, but you only think that this will cause chaos in the world.”

“Is the Brahma Tower a tool for you to open a harem in the heavens and myriad worlds? Its real function is to establish a spatial channel, promote exchanges between cultivators, promote exchanges between Jiuzhou and the heavens and myriad worlds, and make the world progress.”

“The girl you like will rise to prominence and become a noble family, and there will be several people in the God Transformation Stage to congratulate you. Do you really think they are congratulating the girl?”

“If there are people in Jiuzhou who cultivate faster but are not as good-looking as they were when they were born, and are not reborn as men but as women, then the source must be you!”

“Do you need me to recite “The Song of Everlasting Regret” with you again?”

“You only think about yourself, have you ever thought about others?”

“You are not only in the Mahayana Stage, you are also the Human Emperor.”

“The title of Human Emperor isn’t something you can flaunt everywhere. It’s an honor, but also a responsibility!”

Jiang Li roared, throwing the idle Jiang Li aside.

He hadn’t been this angry in a long time.

Perhaps his demands were excessive, perhaps the other party’s choice was a normal one, but Jiang Li simply couldn’t stand the idle Jiang Li.
