Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 763

Chapter 760: Just because you are in the Mahayana stage (thanks to the book friend for the exaggerated reward)

“Two big brothers, why are you looking at me like that?” Xianren finally gained his freedom and wanted to thank Jiang Li for saving his life, but the looks from Jiang Li and Chudi made him uneasy.

Chudi took two steps at a time, swiftly approaching Xianren and kicking him in the stomach, knocking him to the ground. Then, grabbing him by the collar with both hands, he threw him over his shoulder, sending him to the ground again.

Chudi coldly said, “You useless, inaction.”

Xianren was stunned, confused by Chudi’s anger.

While he had been a bit arrogant when he’d taught him how to fight in his dream, he hadn’t been angry.

Jiang Li crouched down and looked at Xianren quietly, his calm gaze frightening him even more.

“Before this, the two of us made a trip to Jiuzhou. Jiuzhou today is pretty much the same as it was five hundred years ago. The only difference is that the bullying aristocratic families have been replaced by your people.”

“Wolong City in the Great Wei, renowned for its silk production, is now controlled by your maid, Meng Yu.”

“The Meng family has leapt from an ordinary, small clan to the largest aristocratic family in Wolong City. Even the city lord pays tribute, signifying that Wolong City will be centered around the Meng family.”

“The Meng family and several other aristocratic families have monopolized essential cultivation supplies, making it difficult for mortals to even survive, let alone rise above their status.”

“Besides that, there’s also the issue of horses galloping through the streets. The people are furious but dare not speak out.”

“I don’t know about this.” Xianren was visibly panicked upon hearing Jiang Li’s words. He hadn’t expected such a thing to happen.

In his impression, Meng Yu was gentle, kind, and understanding. When faced with his dilemmas, she would listen, then calmly analyze the situation and offer advice.

“Of course you don’t know. If you knew, you wouldn’t be lying on the ground now.”

“The Chu Emperor and I were both late in the system. Our first task was to return to the Jiang family and defeat Jiang Yixing. For this, we both returned to the Jiang family where we hadn’t been for five hundred years.”

“In Qingcheng, we met Jiang Yixing who practiced magic, and met the Jiang family who also controlled Qingcheng.”

“Do you know the difference between the Jiang family and the Meng family?”

The idler shook his head.

Jiang Li’s expression grew increasingly cold. “The Jiang family only dares to stir up trouble in secret. Although they control Qingcheng, they’ve only done good things. The people of Qingcheng are even grateful for their contributions.”

“Because the Jiang family knows they’re just using my name to bully others. I’m working hard to change Jiuzhou and ensure its harmonious development, so they have to pretend to care for the people and keep pace with me.”

“And the Meng family is also just using your name to bully others. Therefore, the Meng family’s bottom line is that they can’t kill or abduct women. Beyond that, they’re allowed to do anything.”

“In terms of fighting the Heavenly Demon and protecting Jiuzhou, you’ve barely done enough.”

This was barely enough because Xianren had never considered deploying a protective formation for Jiuzhou to minimize casualties.

“Isn’t it the duty of the Human Emperor to fight the Heavenly Demon?” Xianren tried to defend himself. He felt he had already done enough.

Jiang Li sneered, looking directly into Xianren’s guilty eyes. “Is the Human Emperor’s duty solely to fight the Heavenly Demons? If you truly believed that, why would you have allowed Bai Hongtu to be the Acting Emperor?”

Xianren stared at Jiang Li. He felt that Jiang Li knew him intimately, digging out his little thoughts and ideas bit by bit, exposing them to the public.

He didn’t want to hear any more, but he had no choice.

“You actually understand that the Human Emperor needs to do a lot of things, but you don’t want to do them, and you don’t want to give up the position of Human Emperor as a tool for showing off, so you chose the method of acting as the Emperor.”

“All the responsibilities are on Bai Hongtu, and you and your harem are free and easy. Do you think that you should enjoy all the good things and let others bear the suffering?”

“And I won’t tell you how your harem came about. You know it very well. You didn’t give up any of the people who are not recommended to give up on this mission.”

“Do you still remember what you said when we first met? You said you love all of them.”

“If you think what you did is good, then you might as well put yourself in their shoes. Imagine how you would feel if anyone in your harem liked several men including you at the same time?”

“Very uncomfortable, right? You do system tasks and gain the favor of female cultivators, but you never thought about their ideas and just muddled through. Do you dare to tell them that your relationship with them is all due to system tasks?”

“A waste that goes with the flow.” The First Emperor commented coldly.

The idler seemed to be ignited by the First Emperor’s words, and he roared out in an uncharacteristically violent tone, “Yes, I just go with the flow. I’m a loser.”

“Have you two forgotten what you went through in your past lives? You insisted on justice, but were framed and imprisoned by those above you. In the end, you were exonerated by mental illness and died in a mental hospital. Is living like this meaningful?!”

The idler only remembered that he was mentally ill, but not the cause.

“I’ve finally been reborn, am I going to repeat the same mistakes and die in an unclear manner as in my previous life? I made up my mind when I defeated Jiang Yixing: I’m going to live for myself in this life!” “

Also, put yourself in my shoes. You suddenly traveled through time, knowing nothing about your surroundings, and suddenly a system appeared, saying that if you did what it said, you would become the strongest. Would you do it?”

“What does Jiuzhou have to do with me? Why should I change?”

“Because you’re in the Mahayana stage.”

“What?” The idler didn’t understand Jiang Li’s meaning.

Jiang Li continued, “The most crucial point in reaching the Mahayana stage is believing that energy is not conserved.”

“And the reason the three of us stubbornly believe that energy is not conserved is because we believe the world is fair and just, and that resources are infinitely distributed.”

“It’s just that the three of us have forgotten the reason we believe energy is not conserved.”

“You only remember that energy is not conserved, but you’ve forgotten that you’re also someone who would rather drive yourself insane than believe that the world can achieve fairness and justice.”

The idler was stunned. He hadn’t imagined that this was the reason he had always believed that energy was not conserved.

“You reached the Mahayana stage, and you’ve never thought about changing this world where the strong prey on the weak.”

“The law of the jungle is natural, it’s the way of heaven. Why should I change it? It’s natural, it’s the way of nature.” Xianren tried to justify his actions.

Upon hearing this, the First Emperor stepped on Xianren’s chest and said, “You follow the law of the jungle, and I won’t stop you. The law of destruction is also a natural law. Do you want to follow it too?”

Xianren was speechless. He already knew that the world was facing a crisis of destruction. Under the law of destruction, all worlds would cease to exist, and he was no exception.

(Is the leader Fu◇Kuā here? Can we discuss changing the addition to a sequel?)
