Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 753

Chapter 751: Can you two grant me death?

Jiang Li first disliked the system when he learned it would issue “not recommended to abandon” quests, aiming to increase the opponent’s favorability by completing them, treating women as playthings, and wooing Emperor Bai Ze.

“Later, when Crown Prince Tianyuan saw me abandon my candidacy for Human Emperor, he flew into a rage and banished me to the cold palace. Upon learning of this, the idlers secretly plotted a series of intertwined schemes, using unknown methods to activate the Ruyi Gourd. They defeated both Crown Prince Tianyuan and Emperor Tianyuan, rescued me, and made me Empress Tianyuan.”

Jiang Li’s Yu Yin won the throne on her own with the Ruyi Gourd, avoiding banishment and Jiang Li’s help.

The subsequent events were similar to what Jiang Li knew. She practiced diligently and diligently, and even experienced national fortune in the battle against the extraterritorial demons.

However, she wasn’t as bold and ruthless as the Yu Yin Jiang Li knew, and she wasn’t aware of the great test between life and death, so she didn’t break through the Tribulation Crossing stage.

Furthermore, the Tianyuan Dynasty’s rebels knew Yu Yin was Xian Ren’s woman. Having seized the throne, Xian Ren would seek revenge.

Jiang Li’s Yu Yin secured the throne only after reaching the Tribulation Crossing stage, while this Yu Yin relied on Xian Ren’s power to hold onto the throne.

“How can I describe Xian Ren now? I always feel he’s different. To put it nicely, he’s playing around with the world. To put it bluntly, he’s lost his own opinions and just drifted with the tide.”

“I don’t know if it’s an illusion or something else.”

Yu Yin didn’t dare to speak about it or discuss it with others. Suspicion about a partner can create an irreparable rift between two people. Love is so fragile, and if that happened, it would be too late for Yu Yin to regret.

“If someone could see your favorability and know how to improve it, how would you feel?”

Yu Yin frowned. “Of course I’d feel uncomfortable. What’s the difference between me and a puppet?”

Jiang Li looked at Yu Yin with pity. He said goodbye and left.

Yu Yin stared blankly at the two retreating figures, her chest tightening as she recalled Jiang Li’s compassionate gaze.

Lying on the bed, she whispered to herself,

“Don’t… don’t look at me like that.”

…

“Why haven’t you spoken in all this time?” Jiang Li asked the First Emperor.

The First Emperor shook his head, “She’s so unfamiliar. I don’t know what to say.”

“Yu Yin is the most independent, opinionated, and righteous woman I’ve ever met. How could she have become like this?”

“Parallel worlds are different after all.”

Jiang Li suddenly tilted his head. “Old Buddha, you’re there, right? Why don’t you come out and see me?”

“Amitabha! I never thought there really is a parallel world where I could meet two Jiang Lis in my lifetime.”

Space warped, and a towering Buddha emerged from another dimension, holding the Brahma Pagoda in his hand. His face was old and gloomy, as if he felt sorrow for the suffering of the world.

From the moment Jiang Li and the First Emperor entered Jiuzhou, the Old Buddha Xumi sensed the strangeness of the space. He had assumed it was someone from the immortal realm, and so he brought the Brahma Pagoda with him to fight the enemy.

What he didn’t expect was that the other party’s origins were even more shocking.

It was Jiang Li from a parallel world!

“You idle wretch, how dare you let him live?” the First Emperor was displeased. In his own world, upon learning that Xumi Buddha had been bewitched by the Supernatural Being of Transmigration to establish the Divine Treasure Sect and kill people to gain merit in pursuit of immortality, he had marched directly to Mount Xumi and slew Xumi Buddha. The

First Emperor was a man of gratitude and resentment. Xumi Buddha had been indebted to him, and he owed him kindness. But he also maintained a clear distinction between public and private. Xumi Buddha had killed countless people in his quest for immortality, actions of the demonic path.

All demons deserved death.

Jiang Li was not surprised that Xumi Buddha was still alive.

He had met Xumi Buddha’s master, the Long-Eyebrowed Buddha, in the underworld. Logically, the Long-Eyebrowed Buddha should have voluntarily entered the animal realm, constantly reincarnating to atone for Xumi Buddha’s sins.

However, the Long-Eyebrowed Buddha remained in the underworld, proving that Xumi Buddha was not dead.

Jiang Li recalled the moment he’d killed Xumi Buddha. It could be said he practically cried as he went to kill him.

Jiang Li valued gratitude and loyalty, but he knew this was not the time for selfish desires to take over.

If he let Xumi Buddha go, and he killed again, it would be Jiang Li’s fault.

Jiang Li would be unjust to those who had already died, and to those who would die in the future.

Xumi Buddha was a brilliant man, and from their expressions, it was easy to guess that he had been killed in their world.

“I don’t know what I am like in the parallel world. In this one, I’m a sinner, unworthy of the title ‘Buddha.'” Xumi Buddha lowered his brows.

Jiang Li recounted what he knew about Xumi Buddha and the final outcome.

Xumi Buddha conjured three lotus pedestals and invited Jiang Li and the First Emperor to sit.

“What I did, as you two know, is the same. I founded the Shenzang Sect and indirectly killed many people, ultimately becoming an immortal and extending my lifespan.”

“Xianren learned of the Shenzang Sect during an incognito visit. He tracked it down and ultimately found me.”

Jiang Li stumbled upon the Shenzang Sect while completing the system-issued mission “Escape the Assassins of the Tiansha Pavilion.

” “The moment I became an immortal, I regretted it. I killed so many innocent people for my own selfish desires. What was the point of all my life’s learning?”

“I’ve failed my master’s teachings, and I’ve failed the great vow I made to protect Jiuzhou.”

“I briefly considered suicide, but I ultimately didn’t achieve enlightenment, didn’t become an awakened being. At that moment, I was afraid.”

“I hoped someone would punish me.”

In Jiang Li’s world, the old Buddha Xumi didn’t leave Jiuzhou for another world after his immortalization. Instead, he sat atop Mount Xumi, quietly awaiting Jiang Li’s arrival. This was the reason.

“The idler hesitated for a long time, but in the end he didn’t do it. He just told me not to kill anymore, and if I did it again, I would be severely punished.”

“The idler killed all the members of the Shenzang Sect, leaving only me, the leader of the Shenzang Sect.”

“I was lucky enough to survive this one time, and I was actually happy at the time. I’m really ashamed.”

“I felt guilty. Ever since then, I’ve been in a state of panic, wanting death, but I couldn’t find anyone who could kill me.”

“I passed the throne of Buddha to Wuzhi. Since then, I’ve lived in seclusion on Mount Xumi, never to emerge again. The only time I left Mount Xumi and took action was when the Eight Desolations attacked.”

“This is the second time.”

“You two, can you grant me death?”

The old Buddha Xumi clasped his hands together, closed his eyes, and, like a clay sculpture, prepared for death.

The old Buddha Xumi had waited for this day for years.

With Wuzhi on Mount Xumi, there was no need to worry about the future. With the two Jiang Lis in Jiuzhou, there was no need to worry about the future either.

It was time for him to receive his punishment.

Jiang Li and the First Emperor exchanged glances, understanding each other’s intentions, and attacked simultaneously.

The old Buddha Xumi burned in the karmic fire, his flesh and bones melting and disappearing, leaving behind only a fragmented relic.

Brahma Tower took the relic back to Mount Xumi.

“Let’s go and see how the White Emperor fared as the Human Emperor.”
