Counterattack System appeared when I'm already At The Mahayana Realm

“How much do you remember about your past life?”

“I recall being on a courtroom stand, framed, with all evidence pointing to me. Afterward, I ended up in Jiuzhou.”

“Seems like we’re in the same boat. Perhaps so is idle Jiang Li.”

It was not surprising for Emperor to know idle Jiang Li.

Idle ones told him that first, Jiang Li of Human Emperor had come into his dreams and thrashed him, and then he, the initial Emperor Jiang Li, also came into his dreams and did the same.

Emperor often encountered idle ones when dream seeking Jiang Li, and he would share his combat experiences with them, of course, using real combat.

Perhaps idle ones had been idle for too long because, even with Emperor’s training, they couldn’t regain their once-natural talent and still relied on various flashy abilities given by the system’s programming.

“We’re here. This is the place.”

As the two of them arrived in front of the main gate, the large characters ‘Psychiatric Hospital’ on the top of the gate looked ready to fall.

Arriving here, the hidden memories deep in his mind were awakened, and Emperor gradually recalled how he had died.

“So, everyone else believed that energy was constant, and only I thought it wasn’t?” Just like Jiang Li, Emperor also needed some time to react.

He had lived for five hundred years, becoming a being stronger than Heavenly Dao, only to discover at the end that he was actually mentally ill.

That was not the biggest problem. The biggest problem was that energy indeed was not constant.

After breaking through the Mahayana stage, the spiritual energy that Emperor practiced and utilized was all created by himself.

“So, I too was once driven mad by reality,” Emperor mumbled. He hadn’t expected that he had such a past.

“What I sought was for the injustices I have encountered not to be encountered by anyone else, while what you sought was to become the one inflicting such injustices,” Jiang Li said.

Emperor snorted coldly. He believed his thinking to be normal while Jiang Li was the exception.

Jiang Li patted Emperor on the shoulder: “Let’s go. As the world’s strongest, it’s your duty as the host to show me, the guest, around Jiuzhou and your world.”

Upon learning he was mentally ill, Emperor did not have much to think about. If he was to doubt himself at this level, the Heart Devil Tribulation would have caused him to regain his memory long ago.

“Let’s go.” Emperor was very satisfied with the status quo of Jiuzhou.

He wanted to prove to Jiang Li that even if his ability wasn’t as good as Jiang Li’s, his ideology was correct and his rule over Jiuzhou was better than Jiang Li’s.

On their way back to Jiuzhou, Jiang Li narrated what he witnessed after defeating the Heavenly Dao.

“So, there are rules to this world.” Emperor had never heard of this.

“You’ve never been to the Underworld?” Jiang Li was surprised. The theory of the eight rules was originally learned from the Empress Mother Earth.

Emperor was even more confused: “Why should I go to the Underworld?”

Jiang Li had to go to the Underworld to take the Heaven’s Sun Disaster Pill, a system reward. However, the pill was not meant for going to the Underworld, but for poisoning a Tribulation Crossing Cultivator five hundred years ago to fulfill a part of a mission to find the celestial ladder fragments.

Jiang Li had not encountered this task, so he uninstalled the system.

“I thought with your personality, you would rule the Underworld.”

Emperor shook his head: “I manage the living, the Underworld manages the dead. If I were to manage death, wouldn’t that blur the line between life and death, making people less fearful of death?”

Although Emperor was arrogant, he always had a clear understanding of himself.

He was not suited to rule the Underworld.

Jiang Li saw this and proceeded to explain: “In the Underworld, I met the Empress Mother Earth, who told me that the world operates on the basis of eight kinds of rules.”

“Later, I learned in the Observer’s World about the convergence of possibilities in the river of time. I also encountered a strange phenomenon – a black tide that could devour the world. At that time, I didn’t know that the black tide was actually the ninth rule.”

“The Observer’s world?”

Emperor didn’t know about the Observer’s world.

Jiang Li was able to go to the Observer’s world because he divined the location of the Immortal Realm a thousand years ago using the turtle shell. Emperor didn’t choose to divine this question with the turtle shell, his question was, “Am I the world’s strongest?”

The turtle shell prophecy answered yes, and then Emperor was satisfied and put away the turtle shell board.

“Later, I defeated the Heavenly Dao. Only then did it reveal why it chose to destroy the world…”

“Taichu created the world and also created nine rules, and the ninth rule is the rule of destruction…”

“The manifestation of the rule of destruction is the black tide, and the black tide will inevitably engulf the world…”

“There are two ways to save the world. One is to become the only consciousness of the world. The other is to establish order to resist the disorder of the rule of destruction.”

“Although you are unaware of the rule of destruction, the order you established in Jiuzhou could resist the rule of destruction.”

Hearing this, Emperor lifted his chin slightly. Although it was a fluke, it proved him right.

“In that case, I need to intensify my exploration of the Ten Thousand Realms, to protect these worlds.”

Emperor quickly realized his next course of action. As the lord of the Ten Thousand Realms, it was his responsibility to protect the world.

This was also Jiang Li’s purpose for coming to the Parallel World.

The Immortal Realm was not important. In the face of the current Emperor, the Immortal Realm could not cause any ripples. The most important thing was to ensure that Emperor’s world was kept safe from the black tide.

On this point, Jiang Li and Emperor agreed.

Instead of becoming the last consciousness, they’d rather cherish the present.

While discussing their different experiences, the two returned to Jiuzhou and arrived in the Great Zhou Dynasty, or as it is presently known, the Great Zhou Domain.

Emperor was about to make his grand entrance when Jiang Li pulled him back: “Are you planning to tour around with me in your true form?”

Emperor arrogantly declared: “I do things openly and honestly. Why should I have to hide?”

Jiang Li: “…”

He felt that Emperor was not just taking him for a walk, but on an inspection.

“You didn’t do this many times, did you?” Jiang Li looked at Emperor with an odd expression.

“Of course I did.”

“…Listen to me, change your face.” Jiang Li, having plentiful experience in this area, advised.

Emperor readily accepted Jiang Li’s suggestion.

Only after changing their appearances did they arrive in the Great Zhou Domain.

Seeing a vendor selling sugar-coated haws, Emperor fulfilled his duty as a host and gestured, “Give us two skewers of sugar-coated haws.”

The vendor gave Jiang Li and Emperor a skewer each and then waited eagerly for Emperor to pay.

“For me to eat your food is giving you face, how dare you ask for money…”

When addressing Jiang Li, Emperor referred to himself as “I”. When addressing others, he used “We”.

Jiang Li pushed Emperor aside, paid the vendor, and explained, “I’m sorry, my brother is not quite right in the head. Who would eat without paying?”

The vendor nodded and kindly reminded, “Then have your brother be careful. Don’t go around calling himself ‘We’; that could cost him his head.”

“Sure, sure.”

Emperor snorted.
