We Agreed On Experiencing Life, So Why Did You Immortals Become Real? - Chapter 745
Chapter 743 Delegation of Power (Thanks to the book friend Immortal Reincarnation for the reward)
Jiang Li is like a chip; where he places it, the scales of victory tilt towards that side.
Without Jiang Li, the final outcome would undoubtedly be the First Emperor being controlled by the two Heavenly Daos.
Jiang Li’s appearance completely overturned the outcome. Neither the Immortal Realm nor the Heavenly Dao was a problem for Jiang Li.
Upon learning that the High Envoy Du Ye had long been killed, the Emperor unleashed a slaughter on the Immortal Realm, venting his rage.
Celestial and Golden Immortals, under the First Emperor’s halberd, were no different from mortals, unable to resist.
Some immortals resisted and died with dignity, but the First Emperor’s brutal methods were unbearable for the immortals. Seeing their companions suffer a fate worse than death, the other immortals could only submit to the slaughter, a somewhat swift death.
The blood-soaked Heavenly Desolate Halberd, stained with immortal blood, is undoubtedly the most lethal weapon of all time.
No weapon has slain more immortals than the Heavenly Desolate Halberd.
With the disappearance of the Heavenly Dao, the immortals will descend into the underworld after death.
Jiang Li could imagine how Hou Tu Niangniang, living a leisurely life in the underworld, would react to the massive influx of immortal souls.
While the Celestial and Golden Immortals were numerous, they were all departed souls, naturally suppressed by Hou Tu Niangniang, who governed the laws of life and death, and could not stir up any trouble.
Jiang Li explained the truth to the Buddha and Yuan Zu, explaining that they had been deceived by the Heavenly Dao. There was not only one solution, namely, to make the Heavenly Dao the sole will, but also a second method: to establish order.
The Buddha and Yuan Zu felt guilty. While Yuan Zu was not a good person, he was not so ruthless as to kill and destroy the world for pleasure. He assisted the Heavenly Dao because he wanted to save the world.
Jiang Li did not kill the Buddha and prevented him from self-immolation. Firstly, he believed that the Buddha had not yet committed any sins punishable by death, and secondly, he wanted to ask the Buddha to establish a dimensional channel to truly connect the Nine Provinces with the heavens and all realms.
Jiuzhou has always relied on teleportation arrays and collisions, which are inefficient. With the assistance of the Buddha, a Primordial Immortal who has reached the pinnacle of spatial knowledge, efficiency will be greatly improved.
Yuanzu was supposed to die and go to the underworld to reckon with his merits, but Jiang Li worried that Hou Tu Niangniang would be unable to control the Primordial Immortal, a master of the ways of time. Therefore, he spared him and left him in Jiuzhou under the watchful eye of the Buddha.
He wasn’t worried about Yuanzu using the ways of time to manipulate them. Jiang Li believed that Emperor Shun was still in the river of time, observing Yuanzu’s every move.
Emperor Shun hadn’t shown his face, presumably because his title contained the character “Emperor,” which conflicted with the First Emperor.
“I, the idler… still have to go to his world number 809.” After all, they’d met once, so they might as well take advantage of it.
“I’ll go too,” the First Emperor said calmly.
“You go? Then who’ll manage your world?”
The First Emperor had already thought about it. Pointing at Bai Hongtu, he said, “He can do it.”
Bai Hongtu was flattered and hurriedly thanked the Emperor for his kindness.
“You and I are of the same generation, so why should I thank you? I have seen your achievements over the years, and you are worthy of this great responsibility.”
Over the years, the First Emperor has been responsible for formulating the policies of the Nine Provinces, and Bai Hongtu has implemented them, and they have cooperated very well.
Moreover, the most important thing at present is to establish order in the heavens and myriad worlds. Previously, Bai Hongtu has been in charge of related work, and delegating power to Bai Hongtu will not cause any problems.
Bai Hongtu once again thanked the Emperor for his
grace. Seeing that Bai Hongtu was still respectful to him after he said “Why should I thank you”, without any slackness, the First Emperor knew that their relationship would never be the same again.
When he was fighting just now, he noticed that everyone was quite relaxed when talking to Jiang Li, which was something he had never seen in front of him.
I am the First Emperor, the first emperor, the only emperor. The emperor is a lonely man, so why should he need friends?
The First Emperor gave himself this explanation.
“As for the Empress, I don’t know how competent you are at governing, but Human Emperor Jiang Li says you’re incredibly talented, and I believe him.”
The Chu Emperor looked at Yu Yin and said slowly, “The harem shouldn’t interfere in government affairs. I grant you special permission to manage both the harem and the Nine Provinces.”
Allowing Bai Hongtu and Yu Yin to jointly manage the Nine Provinces demonstrates the Chu Emperor’s trust in them.
“My beloved concubines, whoever wishes to return home to visit their parents will be the one to make the decision. I grant you full authority.”
The Chu Emperor relaxed his control over the harem, but
he didn’t disband it. What kind of emperor is an emperor without a harem? Is he like Human Emperor Jiang Li?
The Chu Emperor couldn’t afford to lose face.
“If there’s a conflict between you two, Commander Liu will make the final decision.”
Bai Hongtu and Yu Yin exchanged bewilderment. The Chu Emperor had changed drastically in the few days they hadn’t seen him.
He wondered how the other Jiang Li had managed to do it.
The Chu Emperor finished his instructions, considered them, and, confirming there were no omissions, prepared to leave with Jiang Li.
Traveling to a parallel world requires the actions of two separate Heavenly Dao-level warriors, a fact confirmed by two Divine Treasures.
If a single Heavenly Dao-level warrior could open a passage with two simultaneous attacks, then traveling to a parallel world would be far too easy.
Parallel worlds are not supposed to affect each other, making traveling to a parallel world even more difficult. Without the three unexpected events of the Human Emperor, the First Emperor, and the Idle Man, the Heavenly Dao alone would never have been able to break the barrier between parallel worlds.
“Do you need my help?” The First Emperor said this with a blank expression, but a hint of pride could be heard in his tone. No matter how powerful Jiang Li was, he still needed his help.
He and Jiang Li were two different individuals, and breaking the barrier between parallel worlds required their simultaneous actions.
Jiang Li closed his eyes in meditation, slowly drawing his fist back. Following the method instructed by the Divine Treasures, he activated acupuncture points throughout his body, corresponding to the celestial spheres and the universe. Then, he spread his palm and launched a powerful attack.
Space shattered.
The void shattered.
Nothing remained to be broken.
A passage to a parallel world appeared.
“It’s much easier to master than the way of time. By the way, what did you say about the visitor?” Opening the channel requires special skills and cannot rely solely on brute force. Jiang Li just tried his best to comprehend the method and heard what the First Emperor was saying in a trance.
“No, nothing.”
The First Emperor cursed the Venerable Shenzang in his heart for being unreliable. What about the agreement that two Heavenly Dao-level fighters would attack at the same time?
There was nothing wrong with the Venerable Shenzang’s method. The problem was that Jiang Li was not a Heavenly Dao-level fighter.
“Let’s go.” Jiang Li said goodbye to Yu Yin and others and headed for World No. 809.
The First Emperor followed behind.
Looking at Jiang Li’s disappearing back, Bai Hongtu sighed softly: “How enviable.”
If the First Emperor was not so cruel and self-centered, he might be the other Bai Hongtu in Jiang Li’s words, heartless and carefree.
Seeing Jiang Li and hearing the story of the other Bai Hongtu, he seemed to see himself as a child.
“Don’t be envious, that is another world, it has nothing to do with us. At least the First Emperor is much better now than before, isn’t he?” Yu Yin said.
Despite having said that, a hint of envy still flashed in Yu Yin’s eyes.
