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

Chapter 717: Chapter 716: A Seamless Plan

“My sweet girl, are you saying that after coming back this time, you are even more determined to become the Human Emperor?” Ji Zhi looked at Ji Kongkong’s stubborn expression, feeling some heartache.

When she was young, she was such an obedient child. How did she change so much as she grew up?

She had a chance to be the Zhou Emperor, but instead she insisted on becoming the Human Emperor.

How can an ordinary person become the Human Emperor? Even your father didn’t even make it to the top three candidates.

Just look at who the top three were back then! One was a violent woman, and the other two were good-for-nothing warriors.

Ji Kongkong firmly nodded her head, “This time I went to a place called Zhou Tian’s World, where I met a man who shares the same name as Uncle Jiang. He spent his life fighting for his dreams. I want to be like him.”

...

“You can also achieve your dreams by becoming the Zhou Emperor.” Ji Zhi attempted to persuade her.

Everyone else is trying to be Emperor, but our Zhou family is the only one who refuses the throne even when it’s offered to us.

“That’s different. My dream is to establish order throughout the world.”

Ji Zhi continued: “Your father is getting old, and your brothers and sisters are not competent enough. If you don’t become the Zhou Emperor, then who will?”

Ji Kongkong glanced at her father and said, “If you had said this earlier, I might have believed you. But now you have reached the Body Integration Realm, your lifespan has greatly increased, and by the time I step down from the position of the Human Emperor, you will still be in your prime.”

“In any case, I’ve made up my mind. I will compete with my peers for the throne of the Human Emperor, and prove that I am the one most suitable to be the Human Emperor!” With that, Ji Kongkong turned and walked away, flipping her high ponytail, looking quite dashing.

Watching his daughter’s retreating figure, Ji Zhi sighed. Of course, he knew his daughter was right, after all, who wouldn’t dream of becoming the Human Emperor?

“So, Jiang Li, you should understand if I went back in time to teach you a lesson, right?”

Ji Zhi revealed a strange smile.

His plan was flawless. No matter how strong Jiang Li was, he would be helpless against an attack from the past.

…

As Jiang Li was warmly welcomed by Emperor Shun in such a grand way, he was deeply moved.

“I thought the River of Time would reject me, but you guys welcomed me so warmly. I will definitely visit the River of Time more often in the future.”

Emperor Shun quickly rolled up the banner and chased away the little white fish.

“There’s nothing here in the River of Time that should concern the Human Emperor, it’s quite boring here. You should spend more time in the Nine Provinces.”

“I came here this time because I have important information to tell the Human Emperor.”

Jiang Li raised his eyebrows, “What information?”

Emperor Shun said mysteriously, “Ji Zhi is preparing to go back to the past, to embarrass you when you were still young. As his ancestor, I have the obligation to correct his mistakes. However, since this involves you, it might be best if you handle it.”

Jiang Li immediately understood Emperor Shun’s painstaking effort.

“But won’t Ji Zhi’s actions cause the younger me to remember things that didn’t happen, disrupting the flow of time and creating a parallel world?”

The ancestor wouldn’t ask such a stupid question, but this was Jiang Li, after all. Thinking of this, Emperor Shun replied, “It won’t. Such small deviations will not cause the creation of a parallel world. Moreover, the River of Time has self-healing properties. After you’ve been beaten up, the River of Time will seal your memories. Once Ji Zhi has done everything and returned to the normal timeline, the seal will automatically be lifted.”

“I see.” Jiang Li understood. “What do I need to do?”

Emperor Shun laughed, “Ji Zhi is planning to go back to when you were eighteen. All you need to do is go back to that time as well and stop Ji Zhi’s actions. And try not to let the people from that time find out.”

Emperor Shun invited Jiang Li onto the boat and rowed from the River of Time representing the Underworld to the River of Time representing the Nine Provinces. @@novelbin@@

“This is the place.”

Jiang Li jumped off with a splash.

Emperor Shun smiled and waited for a while. A familiar figure came up from downstream. It was Ji Zhi.

Ji Zhi was stunned. He never expected to see his ancestor, Emperor Shun, here. He was so moved that he didn’t know what to say.

Emperor Shun didn’t say anything. His eyes were full of wisdom, as if they were speaking. Ji Zhi understood his ancestor’s intention – Go ahead and teach Jiang Li a lesson, I’ve got your back.

Ji Zhi also jumped into the river with a splash.

…

“Where… Where am I?” A young Jiang Li woke up in a dilapidated house, looking around in confusion.

“Where was I before, and why am I here now?” The young Jiang Li recalled his experiences on Blue Star, remembered the judgment in court, but couldn’t remember what happened afterwards. It was as if a part of his memory had been stolen.

Memories flooded into young Jiang Li’s mind like a tidal wave, overwhelming him with a splitting headache. As he sorted out his memories, the pain gradually disappeared.

“So it turns out I traveled to a cultivation world, and this is the Nine Provinces continent. This place is the Qingcheng Jiang Family of the Great Zhou Empire. My father is the former clan leader.”

“Jiang Yixing is the son of the current clan leader and he was particularly fond of bullying my former self who died of rage from the humiliation.”

“This is… really something…” The young Jiang Li was speechless. What kind of situation was this?

“You’re in a world of cultivators but you’re not cultivating and thinking about how you’re the son of the former clan leader all day?”

“Thankfully, judging from my memory, the Great Zhou Empire is a nation that upholds the law, everyone is quite reasonable on the surface. Things could be worse, but these relatives are quite annoying.”

“The cultivation technique I’m practicing is the ‘Diagram of Spiritual Energy’, so it should be circulated like this according to the memory, right?” The young Jiang Li tried to circulate the Spiritual Energy for a small cycle, which was quite strenuous. It was apparent that his previous cultivation had been neglected.

“The worst Five Elements Spiritual Root… At least it’s not a wasted constitution. It’s good that I am able to cultivate.” The young Jiang Li chuckled, he quite enjoyed the feeling of cultivation, it was very comfortable.

The Five Elements Spiritual Root was still within his acceptable range, after all, more than 99% of people have the Five Elements Spiritual Root. He was just not special.

Being ordinary was not bad at all.

“The most important thing right now is to see how big this Nine Provinces Continent really is.” The young Jiang Li picked up a few books on the bedside. The books were covered in a thick layer of dust. It seemed that the former Jiang Li seldom looked at them.

“‘Cultivator’s Guide’, ‘Preview of Cultivation’, ‘A Comprehensive Study of the Nine Provinces’, the names are quite ordinary.”

The young Jiang Li started flipping through the books, soon becoming immersed in them, captivated by the grandeur of the Nine Provinces described inside.

Several days passed, he had been reading the whole time without even a thought of sleep, as if he had slept for a long time before and would not need to sleep for the next few days.

The young Jiang Li closed the book and stretched. “The cultivation levels are similar to the novels I read in my previous life. They all have Qi Cultivation, Nascent Soul, Tribulation Crossing, and Mahayana.”

“The Mahayana Realm and Ascension are too far away from me, I dare not wish for them. Well, let’s set a small goal first, cultivate to the latter stage of Qi Accomplishment.”

“This Nine Provinces is so vast, the Great Zhou Empire alone is larger than the Blue Star in my previous life. Why should I stay in the Qingcheng Jiang family?”

Jiang Li looked down at his younger self who had just crossed over from the sky above Qingcheng and showed a slight smile.

He was so naive back then.
