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

Chapter 751: Chapter 750: Two of you, can you grant this poor monk a death?

The first time Jiang Li came to despise the system was when he learned that the system would issue a “no recommendation to abandon” task, increasing the favorability of women through task completion and treating women as toys, to conquer the White Marsh Emperor.

“Later, the Tianyuan Crown Prince, upon seeing me abandon my candidacy for the Human Emperor, was infuriated and had me imprisoned in the cold palace. When idle people learned of this, they secretly plotted and used an unknown method to stimulate the Ruyi Gourd. They successively defeated the Tianyuan Crown Prince and Emperor of Heaven Origin and rescued me, making me the Tianyuan Empress.”

The Yu Yin of Jiang Li’s world won the throne on her own with the assistance of the Ruyi Gourd, without the incidents of being banished to the cold palace and receiving assistance from Jiang Li.

The subsequent events were similar to what Jiang Li knew. She diligently cultivated, worked conscientiously, and carried the fortune of the nation when fighting against the Heavenly Demons.

However, she was not as decisive and ruthless as the Yu Yin that Jiang Li knew, and she did not transcend into the Transcendence Tribulation Stage due to the lack of a major test between life and death.

Moreover, the rebels in the Tianyuan Emperor Dynasty knew that the idle woman was Jiang Li’s woman, and after seizing the throne, she intended to retaliate.

Only after Yu Yin, on Jiang Li’s side, achieved the Transcendence Tribulation Stage did she solidly secure her throne. On the other side, Yu Yin was able to maintain her position as the Empress thanks to the power of the idle woman.

“How do I describe the idle person now? I always feel she’s different from before. To put it nicely, she’s playing with human feelings. To put it harshly, she’s lost her own judgement and is following the crowd.”

“I don’t know if this is an illusion or something else.”

Yu Yin did not dare to reveal this and discuss it with others. Doubting her partner could result in irreparable rifts between them. Love is sometimes so fragile that if it were to happen, it would be too late for Yu Yin to regret it.

“How would you feel if somebody could see your favorability rating and knew exactly what to do to raise it?”

Yu Yin frowned, “Of course, it’s very uncomfortable. What’s the difference between me and a puppet then?”

With pitiful eyes, Jiang Li looked at Yu Yin. He bid farewell to Yu Yin and stood up to leave.

Yu Yin stared blankly at their receding figures, recalling the pitiful look Jiang Li had given her. Her chest tightened with anxiety.

She lay on the bed, murmuring to herself.

“Don’t… don’t look at me with pity…”

…

“Why haven’t you said anything?” Jiang Li asked Emperor Chu.

Emperor Chu shook his head: “It’s too strange. I don’t know what to say.”

“How has Yu Yin, the most independent, most determined, and most righteous woman I’ve ever met, become like this?”

“The Parallel World is always different after all.”

Jiang Li suddenly turned his head: “Old Buddha, you’re here, aren’t you? Why don’t you come out for a chat?”

“Amitabha, I didn’t expect to be able to see two Jiang Lis in my lifetime in a real Parallel World,”

The space twisted and a tall Buddha supporting a Brahman Pagoda emerged from another space. His face was aged, his brows furrowed, looking as if he was saddened for the people of the world.

The moment Jiang Li and Emperor Chu entered Jiuzhou, Mount Sumeru, the Old Buddha sensed something unusual with the space. He had assumed it was someone from the Immortal Realm, so he even brought the Brahman Pagoda as a guard.

What he didn’t expect was that the newcomer’s origin was even more astonishing than what he’d thought.

It was Jiang Li from a Parallel World!

“This idle man, he actually let you live,” Emperor Chu said unpleasantly. In his world, when he found out that the Old Buddha of Mount Sumeru, influenced by Du Ye, had set up the God-hidden Cult to kill people and earn merit to immortalize, he went directly up to Mount Sumeru and executed the Old Buddha.

Emperor Chu was a righteous person who gave due credit where credit was due. Since Old Buddha of Mount Sumeru had been kind to him, he should repay him the same way. But he is also a person who could separate public from private matters. In order to immortalize, the Old Buddha of Mount Sumeru killed too many people, which is an evil act.

All who follow the path of evil should be put to death.

Jiang Li was not surprised at the survival of Old Buddha of Mount Sumeru.

He had seen the mentor of Old Buddha of Mount Sumeru, Long Eyebrow Buddha, in the Underworld. Technically, Long Eyebrow Buddha should have voluntarily entered the cursed road of reincarnation, constantly reducing the sins of Old Buddha of Mount Sumeru.

However, the fact was that Long Eyebrow Buddha was still in the Underworld, which indicated that Old Buddha of Mount Sumeru was still alive.

Jiang Li recalled the situation when he killed Old Buddha of Mount Sumeru. He could say that he went to kill Old Buddha of Mount Sumeru with tears in his eyes.

Jiang Li was a man of gratitude, but he knew that this was not a time when personal desires should prevail.

If he had indulged Old Buddha of Mount Sumeru due to personal desires and Old Buddha of Mount Sumeru had killed again, then the mistake would be on him.

Jiang Li would have failed the people who had already died and those who were going to die.

The Old Buddha of Mount Sumeru, who was extraordinarily clever, could easily guess from their expressions that in their world, he had already been killed.

“I don’t know what I am like in the Parallel World. In this world, I am a criminal, which is a disgrace to the title of ‘Buddha’.” Old Buddha of Mount Sumeru lowered his brow.

Jiang Li recounted what he knew about Old Buddha of Mount Sumeru and the final outcome.

Old Buddha of Mount Sumeru conjured up three lotus platforms and invited Jiang Li and Emperor Chu to sit.

“What I did was the same as what you two understood. I established the God-hidden Cult, indirectly killing many people, eventually becoming immortal and extending my lifespan.”

“The idle person discovered the existence of the God-hidden Cult during an undercover investigation. She trailed the leads and finally traced them back to me.”

Jiang Li had unintentionally found the God-hidden Cult while carrying out the “Escape from the Assassination of Tian Sha Pavilion” task issued by the system.

“The moment I became immortal, I regretted it. I killed so many innocent people for my own selfish desires. What is the meaning of all that I have learned in my life?”

“I have failed my master’s teaching and the vow I once made to protect Jiuzhou.”

“I wanted to kill myself but I had not fully awakened and was afraid of death.”

“I was hoping someone would come to punish me.”

In Jiang Li’s world, Old Buddha of Mount Sumeru did not leave Jiuzhou to go to another world after becoming an immortal. Instead, he sat at the top of Mount Sumeru, waiting for Jiang Li to come. This was the reason.

“The idle person wavered for a long time, but in the end, he didn’t do it. He just asked me to stop killing people. If there was a next time, he would punish me without mercy.”

“The idle man exterminated everyone in the God-hidden Cult, leaving only me, the Sect Hierarch.”

“I was fortunate to have survived once, and I was actually delighted at the time. It was indeed a disgrace.”

“Feeling guilty, I have been living in fear and apprehension since then, wanting to seek death but unable to find someone who can kill me.”

“I passed on the title of Buddha Master to Wu Zhi. From then on, I retired to Mount Sumeru and never went out again, except for the one time I left Mount Sumeru when the Eight Desolations attacked.”

“Now, this is the second time.”

“Can the two of you grant this poor monk death?”

Old Buddha of Mount Sumeru placed his hands together, closed his eyes, and readied himself for death. His entire body was like a clay sculpture.

Old Buddha of Mount Sumeru had been waiting for this day for many years.

Mount Sumeru had Wu Zhi, so there was no need to worry about the future. With the two Jiang Lis in Jiuzhou, there was also no need to worry about the future.

It was time for him to accept his punishment.

Jiang Li and Emperor Chu looked at each other, understanding the other’s intentions, and attacked simultaneously.

Old Buddha of Mount Sumeru burned in the fire of sins, his flesh and bone melting away and disappearing, leaving only a flawed relic behind.

The Brahman Pagoda took this relic back to Mount Sumeru.

“Let’s go, let’s see how the Bai Human Emperor is doing as the Human Emperor.”
