Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 747
Chapter 745: The Ideal Human Emperor (Additional chapter for the Alliance Leader, Immortal Reincarnation)
Yuanzu saw the entire future and realized that no matter what he did, even using his two remaining seals, it would be futile; he would ultimately be crushed by the mighty hand.
Just like the Empress Houtu, there was no escape!
“I don’t believe the future is unsolvable!” Yuanzu opened his palms, and two beams of light shot forth, illuminating the entire underworld.
Imperial talismans intersected, forming a fierce attack that shattered the two beams. The mighty hand descended, suppressing Yuanzu.
“Who are you?”
“What right do you, traitor, have to know my name?”
The First Emperor glared at Yuanzu with a scornful smile.
Jiang Li, hands behind his back, glanced around, relieved to see that while the inhabitants of the underworld were injured, they were not dead.
They hadn’t arrived too late.
Jiang Li and the First Emperor traveled to World 809, the exit conveniently located near the underworld.
Jiang Li walked ahead of the First Emperor, but compared to him, he felt insignificant. Whether from the Underworld or the Immortal Realm, only the First Emperor was noticed.
“Heavenly Dao-level!” Yuan Zu was horrified. How could a Heavenly Dao-level being appear out of thin air?
Yuan Zu had never seen an ordinary person before and didn’t recognize the First Emperor, but how many Heavenly Dao-level beings had there been? “What’s your relationship with Jiang Li?!”
The First Emperor stepped on Yuan Zu’s face, leaving a shoe print as he moved away. “I told you, you have no right to inquire about my identity.”
Yuan Zu believed in the law of the jungle, and the opponent was so powerful that Yuan Zu dared not complain.
“Jiang Li?! Two more!” Lu Yu’s eyes widened, thinking he was hallucinating. Both Jiang Lis were different from the one he remembered: one too domineering, the other too ordinary.
Jiang Li also attacked, unleashing his spiritual sense. The entire underworld was under his control, rising and falling. The eighteen Golden Immortals froze, feeling as if they were being watched by some great being. Their bodies reacted instinctively, afraid to move.
Others couldn’t understand Jiang Li’s actions, but only Hou Tu Huangzhi, Yuan Zu, and Chu Di understood the power of his move.
Jiang Li extended his right hand and clenched it fiercely.
The eighteen Golden Immortals, including the War Immortal, felt the surrounding space filled with hostility, determined to kill them.
Space squeezed inward, and even their various magical powers proved ineffective.
Space compressed into eighteen points, exploding one after another, wiping out their ability to restore their bodies.
The eighteen Golden Immortals perished, and under the decree of Heaven, they could not reincarnate. Their souls were shattered.
“Stay,”
Jiang Li said, halting the process.
These Golden Immortals had committed so many evil deeds that shattering their souls was too light a punishment. They must suffer in Hell.
As for the War Immortals, in the recent battle, many human souls perished in the aftermath of the War Immortals’ battle, something the War Immortals of Jiang Li’s world had never done.
Here, the War Immortals’ Yin De were no longer positive.
“Five Senses King, wake up! We’re saved.” King Chujiang vigorously shook the remaining half of the Five Senses King, continuously injecting soul power into it to keep it alive. The
Five Senses King, with his dying breath, said, “Ahem, stop wasting your energy! I know my body, it’s beyond repair…”
“Restore,”
Jiang Li uttered those two words, and the shattered half of the Five Senses King’s soul surged toward his lower body, gradually restoring it to its original state.
“This, this is… words and actions!” Hou Tu Huangzhi and Yuan Zu were incredulous. Wasn’t it only Dao Zu who could make words and actions come true?
Jiang Li then went to the Black and White Impermanence and used the same method to restore them to their pre-battle state.
“Are you Jiang Li?” The crowd had already surrounded the Black and White Impermanence, but Lu Yu still couldn’t believe it. The Jiang Li before him was completely different from what he had imagined.
“Do you know him? Is he Jiang Li? That idle Jiang Li?” Hou Tu Huang landed, surprised that someone in the Underworld had recognized the origins of these two ridiculously powerful individuals.
“He and I are both Jiang Li, but we’re not the idle Jiang Li. We come from parallel worlds,” Jiang Li said with a smile, greeting the Human Emperors cordially, leaving them flattered.
Generally, when the disparity in power is too great, strength prevails, not seniority.
The First Emperor also descended, carrying Yuan Zu. He remained silent, his expression as cold as an ice sculpture.
“Why are there two Jiang Lis in parallel worlds?” a Human Emperor spoke without thinking.
Jiang Li remembered this Human Emperor; he was from the Dao Sect and a notorious ruthless man in history. He could only add, “We come from two parallel worlds.”
“Oh.”
“Thank you both for saving the Underworld.” Hou Tu Huang treated the two with immense respect, suspecting they were the saviors Emperor Shun had spoken of.
“Your Majesty, you’re too polite. The Underworld concerns the order of life and death. Regardless of our friendship, I should also lend a hand.”
Hou Tu Huang blinked. “Do we know each other?”
“I know you from the parallel world.”
Seeing Jiang Li like this, Hou Tu Huang assumed she and Jiang Li from the parallel world must have a good relationship.
Chu Di kicked Yuan Zu. “Tell me, where is the Heavenly Dao?”
Yuan Zu sneered. “If Your Excellency hadn’t been in another parallel world with the Idlers, how could you be so arrogant here?”
Chu Di stepped forward and slapped Yuan Zu twice. “Don’t sneer. Speak to me properly.”
“In my world, you’re a man of understanding. I didn’t expect you to be as clueless as a pig in the Idlers’ world.”
Jiang Li interrupted. “Once your Heavenly Dao becomes the sole will, it will directly create a new world and won’t resurrect you.”
“That’s impossible!”
Jiang Li ignored Yuan Zu, letting Chu Di reason with him.
“Idle Jiang Li has become a puppet of the Heavenly Dao, so how come you two are fine?” Hou Tu Huang was puzzled.
“It’s simple. I killed the Heavenly Daos of our respective worlds.”
“What?! The Heavenly Dao has fallen?!” Hou Tu Huang was utterly shocked. They were both Jiang Li, so how could there be such a huge difference?
Lu Ren Huang looked at Jiang Li with a complicated expression. He was polite, measured, and composed. He could single-handedly decide the fate of the Nine Provinces, protecting them from the invasion of the extraterritorial demons… He placed hope in the idle Jiang Li, hoping he could become just that.
In the end, the idle Jiang Li only managed to protect the Nine Provinces from the invasion of the extraterritorial demons.
Unexpectedly, the idle Jiang Li failed to do so, while the Jiang Li of the parallel world did.
He truly envied the parallel world he lived in. Compared to his parallel self, they were extremely satisfied with this successor.
“What’s wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?” Jiang Li said with a smile. The old emperor never gave him a good look, and being looked at like that out of the blue was a bit off-putting.
Emperor Lu spoke frankly, “You’re even better than the best Emperor in my mind. Idle Jiang Li… there’s a huge gap between his performance as a candidate and after becoming Emperor.”
Jiang Li knew why. The Old Emperor thought Jiang Li was excellent during his time as a candidate, but that was because Idle Jiang Li was just completing tasks.
After becoming Emperor, the system stopped issuing tasks, and Idle Jiang Li began to play freely, indulging himself.
Idle Jiang Li completed tasks step by step, without thinking, lacking opportunities for growth. His mind did not grow, but was instead corrupted by the system. How could he be a good Emperor who cared about the people?
This was also one of the purposes of the Heavenly Dao, to facilitate control.
With Idle Jiang Li’s state of mind, he should not have been chosen by the Earth Veins, but under the cover of the system, he was enough to influence the Earth Veins’ judgment.
Emperor Lu saw from the corner of his eye that the First Emperor was educating the Original Ancestor, his every move revealing the domineering aura of an emperor.
He looked like a tyrant who protected his own shortcomings. One wondered what the Nine Provinces would be like under his rule.
