Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 698

Chapter 696 These things happened in the morning

The Entropy Overlord was incredibly efficient, quickly giving Gaia a simple, honest face.

“Why did the Immortal Gongshu wait three years to adjust your personal values?”

“Because I have obsessive-compulsive disorder. Three years later, I’ll have been creating for two thousand years.”

“…”

Jiang Li remembered. The Luban Sect did have records of the Immortal Gongshu’s obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Legend has it that when the Immortal Gongshu ascended to immortality, he refused to become an immortal because the number of steps on the ladder to immortality wasn’t an integer, not what he wanted.

It was only then that his teacher emerged from the celestial realm and forcibly dragged him into the realm.

The Luban Sect also had blueprints of the Immortal Gongshu’s puppetry. Jiang Li, after seeing them, was at a loss for words. The puppets Gongshu created were all twins, so they could serve him during his retreat.

Naturally, these puppets were also brought to the celestial realm by the Immortal Gongshu.

“I’m telling you, Gongshu Xianren is a powerful celestial being, with the Immortal Realm behind him. If you dare to disrupt Gongshu Xianren’s plans, beware of his divine punishment!”

“…In fact, the Immortal Realm has already been destroyed by me. As for Gongshu Xianren, if he didn’t have the power to surpass the Heavenly Dao, he would have died in the Immortal Realm as well,” Jiang Li said honestly.

Bahuang had threatened him like this before, saying that the Immortal Realm would definitely take action, but the Immortal Realm was gone.

Now that the Immortal Realm was gone, someone was still using it to threaten him.

“When did this happen?” Gaia couldn’t believe it. He knew Jiang Li was capable of lies.

Jiang Li counted the hours on his fingers: “Let me calculate the time. This morning, I, Ying Zhao Shangshi and three other celestial beings came out of the Da Zhou prison cell. I treated the three of them to a last meal before sending them off at the border of Da Zhou.”

“Before Ying Zhao Shangshi died, he called Lu Wu, and then Lu Wu and three other golden immortals came to attack Jiuzhou.”

“I killed three of the four golden immortals, and the remaining Tianyuan Immortal Lord took the initiative to bring me to the fairyland.”

“After I arrived in the fairyland, I fought with the Immortal Emperor and the Venerable Shenzang in turn. After the Venerable Shenzang got scared, he ran away once. Fortunately, a kind person gave me the ladder to become an immortal, so I caught up with him and returned to the fairyland.” “

I fought with the Venerable Shenzang for the second time. The Venerable Shenzang fought to the death, refined all the immortals, and gained new strength, but still couldn’t defeat me.”

“After the death of the Venerable Shenzang, I returned to Jiuzhou. It was almost noon at that time.”

“After the expanded meeting at noon, I came to your Zhenyan World in the afternoon.”

“So the Gongshu Immortal you were talking about died this morning.”

Gaia: “…Let’s put aside whether Gongshu Immortal is dead or alive. Wasn’t your experience this morning too rich and fulfilling?”

Gaia had no feelings for Gongshu Immortal. He was just a computer, strictly following its program. How could a program have feelings for its owner?

It had threatened Jiang Li before because it was afraid Jiang Li would format it.

Jiang Li agreed: “Is that so? I said I was busy and didn’t have time to sit in the Human Emperor Palace or serve as the President of the Council.”

“Why is this world only for truth? Do you know the reason?”

“Gongshu Immortal said that according to his research, a Confucian sage once descended into this world and wrote the ‘True Words Postcard’. When the copybook was completed, it transformed into particles and scattered across the world, hence the name ‘True Words World’.”

Bai Hongtu suddenly realized: “So it was a Confucian sage. Who has the power to force me to tell the truth?”

Yu Yin nodded: “Indeed, it’s not easy to get you to tell the truth for once.”

Yu Yin had plenty of experience dealing with Bai Hongtu’s lies and knew how unreliable his mouth was.

In the past, Yu Yin had to meticulously analyze which of Bai Hongtu’s statements were true and which were false. Now, she could tell by instinct.

If she encountered Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu talking, it would be even easier to judge; there wasn’t a single word of truth.

Bai Hongtu glanced at Yu Yin; he felt that her image had changed since arriving in the True Word World.

“What should we do? Contact the Confucian Sage and withdraw the True Word Post?” Yu Yin asked, ignoring Bai Hongtu’s gaze.

Jiang Li rejected the proposal: “The True Word Post isn’t necessarily a bad thing for the True Word World. Telling the truth has its pros and cons, and we can’t blindly deny it. Even if it’s a bad thing, the personal value system they’ve established now aligns perfectly with ‘order.'”

“If the True Word Post is withdrawn now, the world will inevitably be in chaos. Who can ensure that the True Word World can re-establish order and resist the Black Tide before it arrives?”

“The Black Tide is arriving?” The three Overlords exchanged bewildered glances.

Jiang Li then remembered that he hadn’t invited the three Lords to the lunch meeting. The brothers hadn’t yet known that the Black Tide would arrive ten years from now.

Jiang Li briefly recounted the destruction of the Immortal Realm and the arrival of the Black Tide.

“So the Black Tide we’ve been tracking and observing is the Law of Destruction, and the Nine Laws were conceived by the First One.”

It was as if a new door had been opened to the three Lords. They hadn’t imagined that the laws governing the operation of things, so closely studied by everyone, could actually stem from the thoughts of a single individual.

New knowledge meant new research, enough for them to study for a lifetime.

The Lord of Entropy Increase seemed to be thinking: “So, if there are two people in the world, we really can’t control and transform the world?”

“What do you mean?”

“Jiang Renhuang, what do you think, the second, third, and fourth people created by Taichu are mentally mature adults, or are they as blind and ignorant as babies?”

“If they are mentally mature adults, wouldn’t they be copies of Taichu? Then Taichu still has the power to create the world, because the second person’s thoughts are the same as his.”

“If it’s a baby, the baby’s heart is simple, and his thinking can be changed in a few words. Can Taichu still have the power to create the world in this way?”

Jiang Li was stunned. He really hadn’t thought about this question: “Then what you mean is…”

The Lord of Entropy Increase thought Jiang Li was overthinking it: “Oh, I don’t mean anything. I just thought there was such a possibility, so I said it. It doesn’t have any practical significance.”

“Science is like this. There are many problems that seem to be problems, but in fact they have no practical significance at all and there is no need to study them.”

“What should we do with this machine?” The Lord of Entropy Increase knocked on the Gaia computer, scaring the Gaia computer’s fan to whirr and scramble to dissipate heat.

Jiang Li thought for a moment and said, “Remove the programs and backdoors left by the Immortal Gongshu, and retain the ability to calculate personal value.” What

the True Word World needs now is “stability” rather than “change.”

Jiang Li also suggested that the Speaker of the Parliament should not establish diplomatic relations with Jiuzhou for the time being, so as not to increase variables.

After temporarily dealing with the affairs of the True Word World, the six people hurried back to Jiuzhou.

Bai Hongtu was worried that the influence of the True Word World had not been eliminated, so he cleared his throat and said, “I am the Human Emperor.”

“Great, you can tell lies now.”
