Counterattack System appeared when I m already At The Mahayana Realm

Chapter 743: Chapter 742: Delegation of Power (Thanks to the book friend Undying Reincarnation for the Alliance Leader reward)

Jiang Li was like a pawn. Wherever he was, the balance of victory shifted in that direction.

If Jiang Li had not been there, it was beyond doubt that the final outcome would have been of the First Emperor being controlled by two Heavenly Daos.

The arrival of Jiang Li completely overturned the outcome, be it the Immortal Realm or the Heavenly Dao, they were no issues in front of him.

After the First Emperor learned that envoy Du Ye had been killed long ago, he began a bloody massacre in the Immortal Realm to vent his anger.

Heavenly Immortals and Golden Immortals were like mortals under the halberd of the First Emperor, incapable of resisting.

If any Immortals resisted, their death was a little more dignified. However, could the Immortals endure the brutal means of the First Emperor? Seeing their companions suffer a fate worse than death, the other Immortals could only yield to their fate, finding a swift death as a relief.

Bloody was the Sky Desolate Halberd, stained with Immortal blood, it could be deemed the most ominous weapon throughout history.

No weapon has claimed as many Immortal lives as the Sky Desolate Halberd.

With the disappearance of the Heavenly Dao, deceased Immortals would go to the Underworld.

Jiang Li could imagine the reaction of the Queen of the Underworld, who was currently enjoying a leisurely day in the Underworld, upon seeing a massive influx of Immortal souls.

Despite being numerous, Heavenly Immortals and Golden Immortals were all spirits, naturally suppressed by the Queen of the Underworld who governs the rules of life and death, and could not stir up trouble.

Jiang Li revealed to the Buddha and the Primordial Ancestor the truth: they were deceived by the Heavenly Dao, there was not only one way by allowing the Heavenly Dao to become the sole mind, but also a second method by establishing order.

The Buddha and the Primordial Ancestor felt guilty. The latter was not a good person, but he was not so ruthless as to murder and destroy the world for pleasure. His assistance to the Heavenly Dao was for the salvation of the world.

Jiang Li did not kill the Buddha, and prevented him from self-immolation. Firstly, the Buddha had not committed any killings, and his sin was not unto death. Secondly, Jiang Li wished to request the Buddha to set up a space channel to truly link the Nine Provinces with the Ten Thousand Realms.

The Nine Provinces had always relied on teleportation formations and collisions, which were inefficient. With the assistance of the Buddha, a peak Adept of the Dao of space, efficiency would be significantly increased.

The Primordial Ancestor should have died and went to the Underworld to settle his merits and sins. However, Jiang Li was worried that the Queen of the Underworld would not be able to suppress this Adept at the pinnacle level of mastering the Dao of time. Thus, he did not kill him, leaving him in the Nine Provinces under the watch of the Buddha.

Nor did he worry about tricks the Primordial Ancestor might pull with the Dao of time, as Jiang Li believed Emperor Shun was watching every move of the Primordial Ancestor in the River of Time.

The reason Emperor Shun had not yet shown himself was probably due to the conflict of his title containing the character “Emperor” with the First Emperor.

“An idle man … should take a trip to his eight hundred and ninth world.” At least there’s a brief acquaintanceship, it’s worth a help.

“I’m also going.” The First Emperor spoke in a nonchalant tone.

“If you go, who will manage your world?”

The First Emperor had thought about it early, and pointed to Bai Hongtu and said, “He can do it.”

Bai Hongtu was delighted and quickly thanked the emperor for his favor.

“There is no need for gratitude between you and me. I have been watching your performance over these years and you are more than capable for this job.”

Over the years, the First Emperor made the Nine Provinces’ policies and Bai Hongtu implemented them, they cooperated very well.

Moreover, the most urgent task is to establish order in the Ten Thousand Realms. Bai Hongtu has always been in charge of related work, delegating power to him will not cause any problems.

Bai Hongtu once again expressed his thanks.

Seeing that Bai Hongtu maintained his respectful demeanor even after he said ‘no need for gratitude’, the First Emperor knew that their relationship would never return to the way it was before.

I am the First Emperor, the earliest Emperor, the only Emperor. An emperor is lonely, and doesn’t need friends.

The First Emperor justified to himself.

“And the Empress, though I don’t know what your management skills are like, Human Emperor Jiang Li said you are extraordinarily talented, I trust his words.”

The First Emperor looked at Yu Yin and said unhurriedly, “Although the harem shouldn’t get involved in politics, I permit you to manage the harem and the Nine Provinces simultaneously.”

Appointing Bai Hongtu and Yu Yin to jointly manage the Nine Provinces showed the trust the First Emperor had for them.

“To all the imperial consorts in the harem, anyone wish to return home for a visit, you make the decision. I give you full authority.”

The First Emperor loosened the control over the harem, but did not disband it.

What kind of an emperor doesn’t have a harem? Could it be the same as Human Emperor Jiang Li?

The First Emperor could not afford to lose that face.

“If you two have conflicting decisions, Commander Liu will be the final arbiter.”

Bai Hongtu and Yu Yin looked at each other. In just a few days, the changes in the First Emperor could be described as earth-shattering.

They didn’t know how the other Jiang Li managed to do this.

After arranging all matters, the First Emperor thought for a while and found no omissions, so he prepared to leave with Jiang Li.

To reach the Parallel World, it requires two different individual’s Dao-level strength to attack at the same time. This was confirmed by the two Respected God-hidden.

If a Dao-level attack from a single entity could open the channel, then it would be too easy to reach the Parallel World.

Parallel Worlds should not influence each other, therefore, the means to reach the Parallel Worlds are excessively difficult. If it weren’t for the unexpected accidents of the Human Emperor, the First Emperor, and the idle man, the Heavenly Dao alone could not break the isolation of the Parallel Worlds.

“Do you need my help?” When the First Emperor said this, his face was expressionless, but from his tone, one could sense a tinge of pride. No matter how strong Jiang Li was, he still needed his help.

He and Jiang Li belonged to two different entities, breaking the isolation between Parallel Worlds requires their joint efforts.

Jiang Li closed his eyes and contemplated, slowly retracted his fists, adjusted his body’s acupuncture points according to the method the Respected God-hidden told him, corresponded to the cosmos, then spread his palm and pushed out fiercely.

Space shattered.

The void shattered.

There was nothing left to shatter.

The channel to the Parallel World was revealed.

“It’s much easier to master than the Dao of Time. By the way, what were you saying earlier?” Opening the channel required a special technique and couldn’t rely solely on brute force. Just now, Jiang Li had been focusing on understanding the technique, and inadvertently heard the First Emperor saying something.

“Not..nothing.”

The First Emperor cursed in his heart about the unreliable Respected God-hidden. Didn’t they agree that it required two Dao-level attacks to be simultaneous?

The Respected God-hidden’s method wasn’t wrong, the problem was that Jiang Li wasn’t at the Dao-level.

“Let’s go.” Jiang Li bid farewell to Yu Yin and the others, heading for the eight hundred and ninth world.

The First Emperor followed.

Watching Jiang Li’s retreating figure, Bai Hongtu sighed lightly, “Really enviable.”

If the First Emperor wasn’t so brutal and self-centered, he might have been like the other Bai Hongtu mentioned by Jiang Li, carefree, without any worries.

Looking at Jiang Li and hearing the story of another Bai Hongtu, he seemed to see his young self.

“Stop envying, that’s another world, it has nothing to do with us. At least, the First Emperor is much better now than before, isn’t he?” Yu Yin said.

Despite her words, a hint of envy still flickered in Yu Yin’s eyes.
