Chapter 721: 720
“Please elaborate, Emperor Shun.”
“The power of Human Emperor Jiang Li need not be mentioned, it is immeasurable and boundless, sufficient to tear apart the barriers between parallel worlds, what you lack are methods and opportunities.”
Emperor Shun and Jiang Li left the river of time together and returned to the Underworld.
At this time, the ancestor was left with only his soul, suppressed by the Emperor Hou Tu and the Buddha. The Buddha was informing the ancestor about what had happened in the Immortal Realm.
Upon hearing this, the ancestor was first angry at the Heavenly Dao for deceiving them, and then became despondent, feeling that he had helped tyrants inflict harm, destroyed countless worlds, and committed monstrous sins.
“Judge me.” the ancestor admitted defeat.
...
“There’s no need to rush to the Underworld.” Emperor Shun’s frivolous voice rose, causing the ancestor to flare up in subconscious anger.
Emperor Shun explained to Jiang Li: “There’s another way to reach the parallel worlds besides the Dream Path.”
“The appearance of parallel worlds essentially belongs to the rule of possibility. And the rules of space and time, and the possibility are interrelated.”
“Using all three rules at the same time could lead to a parallel world, but none of us know the rule of possibility, so we need a clumsy workaround.”
“Even though I’m proficient in the rule of time, I’m not at a high enough level. The ancestor can make up for this. As for the Buddha, needless to say, he is proficient in the rule of space, and also at a high enough level.”
“The three of us working together can open half a passage; the missing rule of possibility can be supplemented by the power of Human Emperor Jiang Li.”
Emperor Shun succinctly explained what needed to be done.
The Buddha and the ancestor also agreed.
The Way of Space and Time intertwined to form something like a singularity, then exploded, shaking the entire Underworld. It was Emperor Hou Tu who timely intervened to stabilize the Underworld.
After the big explosion, there was a flickering passage, visible but untouchable.
“Now is the time!” Emperor Shun yelled.
Jiang Li was ready to unleash his full power when Emperor Shun suddenly remembered something and urgently shouted, “Don’t use all your strength, you might pierce through the parallel world!”
Jiang Li unleashed a reduced strength attack, forcefully expanding the flickering portal.
This time an even bigger explosion occurred, blowing away the three Supreme Constant Immortals and Emperor Shun.
The Buddha used the Way of Space to create several small worlds to block the front, but it was no use. He was also thrown away, and the small worlds even smashed into him.
Fortunately, this degree was still not enough to harm a Supreme Constant Immortal.
Emperor Shun steadied himself and shouted at Jiang Li, “The parallel world has a self-repair function, the passage will soon heal.”
As Jiang Li stepped one foot into the passage, he remembered that he hadn’t informed the people of Jiuzhou about his trip to the parallel world, so he yelled, “Empress, please inform Jiuzhou that I am going to the parallel world, so they don’t worry.”
Jiuzhou had already been put on the right track. Even if Jiang Li did nothing, they should be able to explore and save the world on their own.
Emperor Hou Tu agreed, Jiang Li waved goodbye, his figure and the passage disappeared simultaneously.
Seeing this, Emperor Shun also returned to the river of time.
Remembering Jiang Li’s request, Emperor Hou Tu handed a jade seal to the Buddha.
“Empress, what is this?”
“This is called the Reincarnation Jade Seal, representing the will of the master of the Underworld. With this jade seal, you can act on my behalf, and no one will dare to question you.”
“Jiang Li asked me to notify Jiuzhou. I initially wanted to send someone to Jiuzhou, but you are all ghosts. Even if you went to Jiuzhou, no one could see you. Only I, who master the rules of reincarnation and life and death, can communicate with them.”
Emperor Hou Tu earnestly said, “I entrust the care of the Underworld to you, Buddha, during my time in Jiuzhou.”
The Buddha was about to say something, but Emperor Hou Tu had already disappeared, and he couldn’t catch up with her.
The Buddha clutched his brow in pain, thinking that it would take a while for Emperor Hou Tu to return.
He looked at the ancestor, sighed, and decided to deal with the ancestor first.
…
“Is this the parallel world?” Jiang Li came to a place that was both familiar and unfamiliar. Seeing the cultivators coming and going, hearing them speak a familiar language, it was as though he had not come to a parallel world but to Jiuzhou.
“Excuse me, I’m lost. May I ask where I am?” Jiang Li asked a passerby.
The passerby looked at Jiang Li in surprise, “What a weirdo, getting lost even with a map. This is Qingcheng of the Great Zhou Domain.”
“Qingcheng, isn’t that Jiang Li’s hometown?”
The passerby quickly covered Jiang Li’s mouth, hushing, “Do you have a death wish? How dare you utter the emperor’s tabooed name?”
Jiang Li understood that he was in the Jiuzhou of the parallel world, and he happened to be at the starting point of his transmigration, Qingcheng.
“What is the Jiang family doing now? Have they been bullying people in the name of pride, doing evil?”
The passerby lowered his voice and said, “How could they? More than ten years ago, when the emperor returned home, he found that his relatives were practicing demon techniques in his name. He was greatly angered, and wiped out the Jiang family and all the officials who had shielded them, killing them along with their families. The rivers ran red with blood, and people were trembling in fear, worrying that they might be affected.”
“This directly shook the national fortune of Great Zhou, and the original Zhou Emperor even fell into a coma.” @@novelbin@@
“The emperor you speak of… Could it be the First Emperor?” Jiang Li guessed that this might be the parallel world of the First Emperor, as only he and the First Emperor’s system were late.
However, he couldn’t be sure, as it was also possible that his counterparts in other parallel worlds had late systems too.
The passerby saw that Jiang Li was acting eccentric and didn’t want to continue talking with him. He hurriedly broke away from Jiang Li and went home.
Having no other choice, Jiang Li went to a bookstore and bought a book recording major events, which confirmed his guess. This was indeed the parallel world of the First Emperor.
As for the First Emperor, Jiang Li didn’t actually know much about him. He only remembered that because of his bad luck, the First Emperor killed Dongxu Daoist, who was holding a lottery event. Later, Grand Marshal Liu, Bai Hongtu and others fought against the First Emperor, only to be defeated.
Later, when the two met in a dream and fought, Jiang Li defeated the First Emperor. The two didn’t say much to each other before the dream shattered.
When the two met, Jiang Li didn’t even know that the Outside Heavenly Demon was an Immortal.
“Ji Zhi fell into a coma, and the First Emperor named Nineteenth Princess Ji Kongkong of the Great Zhou as the new Zhou Emperor.”
“More than ten years ago, the First Emperor discarded the title of Human Emperor and declared himself as the First Emperor, and then unified the Jiuzhou Continent, establishing the Immortal Dynasty.”
Jiang Li could imagine that the process of unifying the Jiuzhou Continent must not have been very smooth, but the details were not recorded in the book.
“The Jiuzhou Continent originally had nine great empires and hundreds of small countries. The First Emperor divided the empires and surrounding small countries into one ‘domain’, and the Jiuzhou Continent thus ended up with nine domains.”
“Emperors were demoted to rulers of domains. The national fortunes controlled by the emperors and kings were forcibly integrated by the First Emperor into the national fortune of the Immortal Dynasty and distributed to each ruler of a domain to maintain stability.”
“It seems that the First Emperor doesn’t care about the power that national fortune brings. Also, how much power can he gain even if he combines the national fortunes of the whole Jiuzhou?”
“The establishment of the Immortal Dynasty represents that the First Emperor has truly become the ruler of Jiuzhou.”
“The emperors of the past and the heads of various sects have all become the First Emperor’s subjects, including the six major sects.”
