Counterattack System appeared when I m already At The Mahayana Realm

Chapter 732: Chapter 731: The First Person Created by Taichu

When the Chu Emperor asked this question, Jiang Li was taken aback.

He did not expect the Chu Emperor would ask such a question.

However, this was not a particularly difficult question.

“Yu Yin and Bai Hongtu are both friends who accompanied me on my path of cultivation. Initially, I faced many struggles in my cultivation, and it was thanks to both of them that I could overcome the challenges.”

“I considered them as equals to me, with no one being superior or inferior. Whenever I had problems, worries, or confusions, I would pour out my heart to them, and they would do the same to me.”

Remembering the times when the three of them would share their struggles, a faint smile crept onto Jiang Li’s face.

Back then, he had just shown signs of invincibility, having effortlessly defeated a Heavenly Demon from outside the domain. The three of them had a small gathering among the clouds to celebrate Jiang Li’s achievement.

In the midst of their celebration, it turned into a complaint session. Jiang Li could not remember who started it, but judging from his experience, it was probably Bai Hongtu.

Jiang Li complained about why no one could understand how to advance to the Mahayana Realm, Bai Hongtu grumbled about why that dog Jiang Li became the Human Emperor and he did not, while Yu Yin lamented about the Tianyuan Emperor Dynasty being a mess that could not be salvaged.

After all of them had finished their complaints, they started drinking, with nobody sobering up.

Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu got heavily drunk, exchanged drunken blows with each other, while Yu Yin, unable to handle the alcohol and not being a good drinker, got slightly tipsy with his face flushed and his clothes disheveled, making a scene around the other two men.

The Chu Emperor remained silent.

The first time he effortlessly defeated a Heavenly Demon from outside the domain, he was also very happy, but by then, he no longer considered Bai Hongtu or Yu Yin as his friends.

The feeling of a celebration with subordinates and a celebration with friends are ultimately different.

The Chu Emperor did not feel like he was missing anything before, but now seeing his counterpart in the parallel universe with such a colorful experience, he suddenly felt like he was too lonely, wasn’t he?

Without realizing it, the two of them had arrived at Mount Sumeru.

“The Sumeru Old Buddha had faith in the Respected God-hidden, he wantonly murdered innocents, and used the power of faith to immortalize.”

“To kill for the sake of becoming stronger. If the old Buddha was allowed to live, more people would have been killed in the future.”

“So, I killed him.”

Although the Chu Emperor had a reputation for indiscriminate killing, he would not kill for the purpose of becoming stronger. The behavior of the Sumeru Old Buddha was no different from the demonic path, the Chu Emperor could not tolerate his existence.

Just like Jiang Li, the Chu Emperor also detested the demonic path, which is why he had killed many people in the Eight Desolate World.

While Jiang Li chose to judge the Yin Virtue of the Eight Desolate using the Book of Life and Death, the Chu Emperor judged the Eight Desolate based on the standard of the laws of the Nine Provinces. Whoever was sentenced to death, was executed without exception.

The number of people the Chu Emperor killed in the Eight Desolate was far greater than the number Jiang Li killed.

The current ruler of Mount Sumeru was still Wu Zhi. When the two found Wu Zhi, Jiang Li called for Daozu to come out and meet them.

Wu Zhi lost consciousness as Daozu occupied his body.

“Who is this?” The Chu Emperor had never seen Daozu and didn’t know that Daozu resided in Wu Zhi’s body.

“Daozu.”

Seeing Daozu, Jiang Li was also a little surprised. In his world, when Daozu saw the time-travelling Jiang Li, he knew there was hope for the future, so he decisively chose reincarnation.

But the Chu Emperor did not go back to the past, Daozu had never seen the Chu Emperor and thought the future was bleak, and so, theoretically, he should not have chosen reincarnation.

With his incredible gaze, Daozu recognized Jiang Li’s identity at a glance.

“Visitor from a parallel world. I didn’t expect one could truly cross through parallel worlds?”

After listening to Jiang Li’s question, Daozu explained: “Originally, I didn’t think about reincarnation. I wanted to prepare for Plan B in the Underworld. However, Emperor Shun approached me, saying there was no need to worry about the future, that there was a second method to counter the destruction rules, and someone would make it happen in the future.”

“Upon hearing this, I instantly chose reincarnation.”

Jiang Li: “…Was that decision to reincarnate a bit hasty?”

Daozu looked at the Chu Emperor and marveled, “Actually, I’ve wanted to chat with you for a long time. You actually have the capability of defeating the Heavenly Dao.”

“However, I was worried about saying something wrong and causing problems for Wu Zhi, which would have been unfortunate.”

Turning his gaze to Jiang Li, Daozu said: “And you, you are even more incredible. I can’t fully comprehend how powerful you actually are. If you wished, the Heavenly Dao wouldn’t even have the qualifications to make a move against you.”

Daozu, having cultivated for an extraordinarily long period of time, had the ability to see things that ordinary people could not.

Daozu felt that the Heavenly Dao of Jiang Li’s world was truly unfortunate to have given birth to such an anomaly.

However, it was only unfortunate for the Heavenly Dao. The existence of Jiang Li was the fortune of the Ten Thousand Realms.

Daozu previously thought that the Chu Emperor was already powerful enough, equal to the Heavenly Dao and represented the extreme of the Human Dao. He did not expect that the appearance of Jiang Li would slap him in the face.

What limits? Where are the limits?

Looking at Jiang Li in astonishment, the Chu Emperor realized that he was just slightly stronger than the Heavenly Dao. If the Heavenly Dao did not make a move in front of Jiang Li, then his strength would be around the same.

Only then did he realize how much Jiang Li had held back in their fight.

Jiang Li and Daozu shared everything about their world. While talking, Jiang Li paused suddenly as he thought of a question.

“What’s the matter?”

“There are no traces to follow for the Nine Major Rules, and there are so many rules in the world. How did the Heavenly Dao know about the Nine Major Rules, and not the Ten Major Rules, or Eleven Major Rules?”

The Heavenly Dao was born after Taichu. Technically, it should not know how Taichu created the world and how it laid down the Nine Major Rules.

“Oh, the answer to this question is simple. I was born around the same time as the Heavenly Dao, and we both heard people talking about the Nine Major Rules.” Daozu casually stated as if it wasn’t such a big deal.

“What? Who told you?” Jiang Li was astounded.

Exactly what Daozu wanted to see was Jiang Li’s surprised expression. He further elaborated in a carefree tone, “A person called ‘Qiong’.”

Is there anything more fun than making a strong person reveal surprised or incredulous expressions?

Daozu explained, “I was one of the first few people created by Taichu.”

“However, Taichu had fallen when I was very young, so I wasn’t really influenced by him.”

“The one who taught us was ‘Qiong’, whom we respectfully address as the Saint Teacher. He was the first person created by Taichu.”

“The Saint Teacher told us that Taichu created the Nine Major Rules, which are the eternal laws that no one can change.”

“So, the Saint Teacher…”

“He fell. Of that generation, I’m the only one who survived.”

It’s always been known that Daozu is the oldest person, but how old exactly, nobody knew. Now the answer is finally revealed.

Daozu was in fact one of the first few people Taichu created. This went all the way back to the dawn of the world, having the same age as the Heavenly Dao.

No wonder Daozu was so strong.

The two left Mount Sumeru, and the Chu Emperor was somewhat upset.

The more he interacted with Jiang Li, the more he felt the gap between them widen. This gap wasn’t only reflected in their strength but also in the information they possessed.

Daozu, Underworld, Nine Major Rules, Blue Star… He knew nothing about these things.

“Hm? The system issued a task?” A window popped up in front of the Chu Emperor. It was a new system task.

“What task?” Jiang Li had told the Chu Emperor numerous things, but he didn’t mention that he had learnt to control reality with his words and uninstalled the system.

Jiang Li did it on purpose.
