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

Chapter 766: Chapter 765: Still qualified

The battle between two Mahayana Realm practitioners was truly spectacular, as countless cultivators tilted their heads to the sky, hoping to catch a glimpse of Bai Hongtu’s final moments.

Bai Hongtu was severely beaten. In front of Jiang Li, his nine years of Mahayana Realm cultivation were practically negligible.

“My disciple is lacking, if I were to take his place, overpowering the stronger with the weak would have been quite simple,” spoke the Dao Sect founder, in a confident manner.Saint of Confucianism glanced at him once again, remembering his words when he, the Dao Sect founder, met the Respected God-hidden, only to be killed later by him.

Jiang Li did not truly deal a fatal blow and was merciful, leaving Bai Hongtu’s life intact.

“Ah, it hurts so much…”, Bai Hongtu groaned on the ground in misery.

“Let me tell you about some things I’ve encountered these past few years.”

Upon hearing this, Bai Hongtu stopped playing the victim and quickly refreshed himself.

Yu Yin, Immortal Eternal, Red Dust Fairy, Confucian Saint, and the Dao ancestor all gathered around, everyone except for Ji Zhi.

“You don’t have to reiterate for me, I have already learned about it through the path of time, there is no need to hear it again.”

“Get lost, we don’t need you to hear it anyway.” Bai Hongtu shooed Ji Zhi away and urged Jiang Li to start his tale.

Jiang Li chuckled and began narrating his experiences of the past nine years, from the world of the first Emperor to the world of the laymen and the myriad of parallel worlds.

His narrative didn’t need to be adorned with extravagant descriptions; the pure simplicity of his narrative was enough to captivate everyone.

“Even though the First Emperor still had that arrogant demeanor, his killing intent has significantly lessened. After returning him back to his original world, I came back.”

“These parallel worlds that you’ve dipped your toes in are quite diverse. They seem to have everything,” Bai Hongtu expressed his deep interest in the concept of parallel worlds.

In some worlds, Bai Hongtu chose to follow the Buddhist way, successfully skewing the monastic path. While in others, Bai Hongtu became a low-IQ Dao sect walker, serving as an ideal punchline…

“Poor Idle Man, he pushed me into the position of Human Emperor in his parallel world. But even after achieving his desired position as Human Emperor, he doesn’t seem too thrilled.”

Yu Yin expressed disdain for her parallel self: “How foolish, she shifted from her original self for the sake of love. How can one advance on the path of immortality with such an attitude?”

Of course, the existence of the system was mentioned in the process as well.

Bai Hongtu suddenly realized something, “I was wondering why you always behaved so strangely, frequently visiting secret realms and participating in competitions. So, it was all because of the system tasks.”

Yu Yin looked at Bai Hongtu with surprise. Wasn’t it normal for Jiang Li to cause havoc in various secret realms under a pseudonym? Why did Bai Hongtu find it strange?

It seemed that she was still not able to sync up with the thought process of Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu, and she was unable to detect any of Jiang Li’s abnormal behaviors.

She decided to push on.

“During my time in the parallel world, I found out from the Heavenly Dao there that the system was created jointly by the Heavenly Daos of other worlds. They even made one each for me and the First Emperor, it’s a shame that the timing wasn’t right,” said Jiang Li.

During his time in the parallel world, Jiang Li was finally able to identify the originator of the system, revealing who he has to thank.

To express his gratitude, Jiang Li didn’t easily annihilate that Heavenly Dao. Instead, he let the First Emperor battle, allowing the Heavenly Dao to fall in a spectacular manner.

The Dao Ancestor contemplated for a moment before speaking: “This is interesting. Based on your description, I think I understand the principle behind this thing. Confucian Saint, Wu Zhi, your mana is limited. Can you create a simplified version of the system as I instruct?”

The Confucian Saint nodded. He too was proficient in all aspects of cultivation.

Or rather, those who have cultivated to the level of the Primordial Chaos Immortal are proficient in all aspects of cultivation.

The Confucian Saint wielded his brush, and with ink transformed into mana, he continuously changed forms. Eventually, the ink lost its color, turning into a milky white light, which entered Bai Hongtu’s body.

A voice echoed in Bai Hongtu’s ear.

[System activation in progress. Host, do you wish to activate it?]

“Can this beat Jiang Li?” asked Bai Hongtu excitedly.

[The host has chosen to give up activating the system. Thank you for your use. See you again.]

The milky white light left Bai Hongtu’s body in a neat and decisive manner.

“So, it’s just this kind of thing.” Dao Sect Founder said, “Who wants a system? I could have the Confucian Saint make one for you.”

Everyone shook their head, thinking the system was not very useful.

“Bai Hongtu, you… oh, the System you want, the Confucian Saint can’t create.”

“Miss Yu Yin, would you like a Queen system?”

Yu Yin shook her head.

“Red Dust Fairy, would you like the Ten Thousand Realms Live Broadcast System?”

Red Dust Fairy also shook her head.

“Miss Pure Heart, do you need a Love System?”

Pure Heart Saintess shook her head vehemently. She wanted to earn love through her own efforts.

“Immortal Eternal, you… oh, you don’t need it either, your mouth is more useful than any system.”

Dao Ancestor asked around, but no one needed a system.

Unwilling to give up, Dao Ancestor muttered to himself: “Such a fun thing, why doesn’t anyone want it? Oh well, when I get the chance, I’ll build a system and throw it into the Diverse Heavens, to see who gets it.”

After talking about the issues related to the parallel world, Jiang Li stretched lazily and thereafter proceeded to the point where the earth veins were located.

The mighty river of Lan Yingying flowed beneath the nine provinces. Casually dipping his hand into it, he could vaguely see the wishes of the multitude ingrained in the water.

Not only the wishes of the people of the nine provinces, but also the wishes of people from the Ten Thousand Realms.

“Old friend, compared to the time I just ascended the throne of the Human Emperor, you’ve grown a lot,” Jiang Li said to the river.

On the surface, the earth veins only exist in the nine provinces, but as someone who represents the earth veins, Jiang Li was very clear about the earth vein condition.

The earth veins now stretched across the Endless Void, linking the Ten Thousand Realms.

“The earth veins are no longer the earth veins of the nine provinces, but the earth veins of the Ten Thousand Realms.”

After the earth veins have grown, they’ve become more ethereal and elusive, as if they were about to disappear at any moment.

Jiang Li knew this meant that the earth veins, which were initially the Heavenly Dao in their fledgling state, were transforming into the true Heavenly Dao, although the process would be incredibly lengthy.

Or in other words, once the earth veins have completely transformed, they should be referred to as “Human Dao”.

Jiang Li smiled as he looked at the earth veins. Through them, he felt as if he could see the past human emperors.

“As a Human Emperor, I think I did a pretty good job. The threat from the extraterrestrial demons has been eliminated, the nine provinces are flourishing, and our overall strength has increased manifold. The Ten Thousand Realms have also established friendly relations with the Nine Provinces, the order has been established, and the Dark Tides are no longer a threat.”

Jiang Li listed the achievements during his tenure as Human Emperor, feeling quite satisfied with his performance.

That said, there were also areas where he underperformed. After all, he was not a saint, and there were aspects that he hadn’t considered thoroughly.

“Now, that’s enough. Leave some work for the next Human Emperor.”

“Emperor Shun, is it time?”

A calm voice came from behind Jiang Li, “Yes, the Dark Tide has already penetrated the River of Time.”

At the location of the earth veins, only the Human Emperor should be able to enter, but in the face of the River of Time, any place is accessible, and no formation can stop it.

“Then let’s go.”

Emperor Shun opened a door and invited Jiang Li in.

Jiang Li once again stood before the River of Time.

His world was not afraid of the threat of the Dark Tide because the preparatory work done by the Nine Provinces was very comprehensive. However, other parallel worlds didn’t have this kind of preparation. Yes, they had established order, but whether they could resist the Dark Tide remained an unknown.

To be safe, it would be best to deal with the Dark Tide at the convergence of possibilities.
