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

Chapter 697: Chapter 696: What joyous day is today?

Once the matter was resolved, Bai Hongtu and Yu Yin left, leaving the three rulers on the teleportation array of the Center of the Universe Shuttle.

“What can I do for you?” Jiang Li asked.

The ruler of Entropy said somewhat awkwardly, “Here’s the thing, Emperor Jiang, at present we have a celestial ladder for becoming an immortal in our Jiuzhou region. Now, as an Earth Immortal, I am lacking some immortal power….”

Jiang Li understood. The ruler of Entropy wanted to become an Immortal.

“This is not a difficult matter. There is just one problem now.” Jiang Li took out the celestial ladder from his chest. The ruler of Entropy gulped at the sight.

The ultimate goal of the cultivators is always to become immortal.

Jiang Li explained, “To set up the celestial ladder, a starting point and endpoint are required.”

“The starting point is no problem; it can be where we currently are. The original endpoint was the Immortal Realm, but now that the Immortal Realm is gone, we need to find a new endpoint.”

The three rulers contemplated it; indeed, this was a problem.

What is the most important thing to become an immortal? Is it power? Of course not. While power is very important, what’s more important is the sense of ritual.

You can’t say you became an immortal by setting the endpoint of the celestial ladder at the Union Sect. What would you say when people ask how you became an immortal? That you became an immortal by going to the Union Sect via the celestial ladder?

That doesn’t make sense and is highly inappropriate; it would disgrace the ruler of Entropy if this got out.

“What about setting it at the Dao Sect? Isn’t it said that all Dao originates from there? Furthermore, the Dao Sect has the patriarch of Immortals, who symbolizes the orthodox lineage of Dao.”

“That’s not appropriate either. Imagine, how would you feel if the first person you meet after becoming an immortal is Sect Master Bai Hongtu?”

“I would want to restart my cultivation.”

“What about the Confucian Church?”

“The Confucian sage is not there at the Church, what’s the point of the endpoint being at the Confucian Church?”

“What about the Buddha’s House?”

“The Buddha has gone to the Underworld.”

“What about the Imperial Palace?”

“The Imperial Palace doesn’t have an Emperor. I heard the Emperor Jiang Li hasn’t shown up even once in a year.”

Jiang Li pretended not to hear.

“But isn’t it normal for the Imperial Palace not to have an Emperor? Would there be ants on a tree climbed by ants?”

“You make a good point.”

The three rulers, after much consideration, decided to set the endpoint of the celestial ladder in the Imperial Palace.

Now that the Heavenly Dao has fallen and humanity has prospered, the Imperial Palace has ley lines underneath it, the Commander-in-Chief Liu within it, and Jiang Li outside it. In a way, it represents the Dao of Humanity and has extraordinary implications.

If the ruler of Entropy is willing to go to the Imperial Palace, Jiang Li has no reason to stop him.

Jiang Li deployed his magic, “Celestial Ladder, set the endpoint at the Imperial Palace.”

The Tower of Brahma and the Lord of Samsara watched as the celestial ladder in Jiang Li’s hand radiated a golden light, one end rooted in the ground, and the other end extending to the Imperial Palace five hundred meters away.

The Center of the Universe Shuttle was right next to the Imperial Palace.

…

“So, this is your reason for visiting me through the celestial ladder from the Center of the Universe Shuttle next door?”

Commander-in-Chief Liu looked at the four people in front of him, unable to understand what the young people of today were thinking.

“Regardless, we must first congratulate the ruler of Entropy on his ascension to immortality.” Commander-in-Chief Liu stood up to congratulate him.

After the baptism of the celestial ladder, the ruler of Entropy became an Immortal.

Once the three rulers had left, Jiang Li handed the celestial ladder to Commander-in-Chief Liu.

“This is…?”

“I am elusive, and anyone wishing to use the celestial ladder would have difficulty finding me. Besides, you need Immortal Power to support your use of magic and cultivation, Commander-in-Chief Liu. After considering everything, I find it most appropriate to leave the celestial ladder with you.”

“To use the celestial ladder, one needs a starting point and an endpoint. Commander-in-Chief Liu, where would you like to set the starting point and the endpoint?”

“Set the starting point at the entrance of the Imperial Palace and the endpoint at the hall. That’s about as far as I usually go.” Commander-in-Chief Liu said.

Soon, the guards at the entrance of the Imperial Palace saw a celestial ladder set up next to them, leading to the center of the Imperial Palace.

Were they at the entrance to the Imperial Palace or the South Heaven Gate of the Immortal Realm?

Commander-in-Chief Liu was moved. Jiang Li trusted him so much that he felt bad about hinting that it was time for him to return to the Imperial Palace.

“When does the Hall Master plan to take up residence in the Imperial Palace?”

Hence, Commander-in-Chief Liu turned overt, so he asked directly.

Jiang Li pondered for a while and said, “After the recent series of events, I feel it’s about time I fulfilled my duty as the Emperor and took up residence in the Imperial Palace.”

Commander-in-Chief Liu was surprised, what a joyous day it was!

Oh, the Immortal Realm was no more today.

“I have decided to hold the Imperial Palace for a whole day!” Jiang Li declared decisively. He made up his mind, ready to create a new image and break the misconception that he never presides over the Imperial Palace.

Commander-in-Chief Liu gasped. The Hall Master was going to stay put for a whole day!

Wait a minute, a whole day?

What’s the difference between that and not staying at all?

However, either way, it was good news that Jiang Li was willing to stay at the Imperial Palace, so he couldn’t dampen the Hall Master’s enthusiasm.

“Before that, I need to have a nap.” After that, Jiang Li walked into his bedroom, leaving a puzzled Commander-in-Chief Liu behind.

“Why does the Hall Master like sleeping as much as Kong Hu now?”

Although Jiang Li was absent from the Imperial Palace for years, he was still an emperor, and his bedroom was still intact and free of dust.

Jiang Li took out his pink pillow, put on his pajamas, and fell asleep peacefully.

Jiang Li’s intention was not simply to sleep, but to establish contact with the first Emperor and the layperson through the Dream Path.

He obtained the truth about the world from the Respected God-hidden: every parallel world has a Black Tide.

The first Emperor and the layperson were still unaware that establishing order was necessary to fight against the Black Tide. Jiang Li wished to remind them to be mindful of their safety and to start preparing as soon as possible.

Emperor Shun said the Black Tide would arrive in ten years, but he didn’t mention when the Black Tide of parallel worlds would arrive. If the Black Tide in other worlds arrived later than in Jiang Li’s world, that would be a relief. Once Jiang Li arrived at the convergence point of probabilities, everything would be resolved. But if the Black Tide arrived earlier in other worlds, then those worlds would be finished, not a single person would survive.

Jiang Li asked Confucius and Buddha how to make contact with the parallel world. The answer they both gave was to dream.

As Jiang Li frowned, Confucius and Buddha hastily explained that the Dream Path could lead to parallel worlds, but this required a certain level of cultivation, at least on a par with Heavenly Dao.

The conditions for contacting a parallel world were demanding and only God-hidden Respected could contact other Heavenly Daos.

Now there was also Jiang Li.

However, when it came to how to use the Dream Path to contact a parallel world, Confucius and Buddha found themselves at a loss. Only God-hidden Respected knew the way.

With no other options, Jiang Li decided to try his luck and see if he might somehow run into the first Emperor and the layperson.

If the first Emperor and the layperson were also dreaming, then their dreaming spaces might merge, and they could establish contact.

After a while, Jiang Li hadn’t encountered the first Emperor or the layperson.

“I can understand the first Emperor not sleeping because he is cultivating, but what about the layperson? Isn’t he supposed to be playing games in his dreams like he always does?”

Jiang Li was puzzled and thought the layperson might have improved his habits somehow.

“The Buddha also mentioned there are not only three parallel worlds. Maybe I will encounter someone else?”

Jiang Li slept several hours, but still no luck.

“No one at all? But that doesn’t make sense. Where have all my counterparts in the parallel worlds gone? Don’t they sleep?”

Jiang Li stopped waiting, stretched lazily, got out of bed, got dressed, and took his own place, replacing Commander-in-Chief Liu.
