Counterattack System appeared when I'm already At The Mahayana Realm
Chapter 644: The Continent of Eight WastesThe Elderly Emperor really wanted to smack Bai Hongtu on the head.
Who is your older brother?
“Don’t get angry, I can’t get angry.”
The Elderly Emperor closed his eyes, trying to recall the good times he had with Bai Hongtu to deter his anger.
He remembered when he was duped by Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu, when they secured a joint-first place by finding an unconventional way to complete the test he painstakingly designed, when {he remembered} he punished them by hanging them and spanking them…
The Elderly Emperor discovered that he did not have many good memories of Bai Hongtu.
This little rascal was just like Jiang Li, displaying a steadfast determination that remained unchanged for five hundred years and possessing a total disregard for elders. Wherever he was, he was an instant nuisance.
Ah, he can’t see me.
Hold on, why can’t he learn from Yu Yin?
Yu Yin saluted him courteously and said, “Thank you for your hard work, Ghost Agent Senior.”The Elderly Emperor: “…”
Jiang Li looked at the Elderly Emperor’s mouth before Bai Hongtu curiously asked, “What did the Ghost Agent Senior say?”
“He said for you to get lost.”
Bai Hongtu felt that the Ghost Agent had a seriously bad temper.
Commander Liu asked, “This Eight Desolate World is the Star World. Do you plan on having the Hall Master travel with the Ghost Agent from one planet to another to use the Book of Life and Death?”
Jiang Li shook his head, thinking that this method would take too much time. He wondered how long it would take, “That’s too much trouble. I have a better idea.”
“What’s your method?”
“Turn the Eight Desolate World into a continent.”
After Jiang Li finished speaking, he took a step forward. An endless amount of power surged from his body, filling the entire Eight Desolate World.
All of the life planets were locked in by his divine sense, whether they were part of the original Eight Desolate or transported from other worlds.
Jiang Li said softly, his voice echoing throughout the Eight Desolate: “Open.”
His voice was soft, but there was no mistaking the authority in his tone.
The life planets were like sheets of paper, slowly spreading out. Those on the planets only felt minor tremors and did not know what had happened.
A Star Lord detected something wrong, flew into the cosmos, and was almost scared out of maintaining his balance and plummeted down.
His planet had surprisingly changed from spherical to flat.
“The work of the Desolate Lord?” The Star Lord’s first reaction was just that. If a Transcendance Tribulation Stage was willing, it could also flatten a planet.
But he soon detected something wrong. It wasn’t just his planet–all of the life planets had become part of a large continent.
He wasn’t an exception; the entire Eight Desolate were undergoing changes.
This was not something that a Transcendance Tribulation Stage could do. Not even an Earth or Heavenly Immortal could pull it off!
Jiang Li softly chanted the second word: “Come.”
Jiang Li beckoned with his hand, and all the life continents flew towards the Jiuzhou Continent.
“Combine.”
The life continents merged together, forming a huge ring continent. In the center of the ring continent was the Jiuzhou Continent.
In order to minimize the disturbance, after reshaping the Eight Desolate, Jiang Li used a star membrane to block each region from interacting with each other. Once he dealt with the damned cultivators, he could gradually lift the star membrane as he slowly improved the Eight Desolate.
“Look, isn’t this much simpler now? With the combination of Jiuzhou and the Eight Desolate, it will be easier to provide targeted aid in the future.”
“This incident tells us that when we encounter difficulties in life, we must learn to change our mindset.” Jiang Li spoke earnestly, educating everyone. He believed that this incident was very meaningful.
Everyone felt that this wasn’t a matter of changing one’s mindset.
The Elderly Emperor was also astonished. This was the first time he had seen such a scene, where nearly ten thousand planets were unfolded and combined into a new continent, as if it were a reenactment of an ancient myth.
In those ancient myths, it was mentioned that Immortals had once smelted stars into lands to unify the world, but never to the extent that Jiang Li had.
Jiuzhou Continent was the largest continent outside of the Immortal Realm, but the newly born Eight Desolate was much larger than the Jiuzhou Continent!
“The newly born Eight Desolate can be called the Eight Desolate Continent.”
“Now we can finally take a good look at how many of these damned cultivators there are in the Eight Desolate.”
Jiang Li asked the Elderly Emperor to use the Book of Life and Death, a murderous intent flashed in his eyes, showing no intentions to be merciful.
Everyone wanted to know the result, so they decided to follow Jiang Li.
The Elderly Emperor activated the Book of Life and Death, and a gray light emerged from the book, scanning an area.
Soon, numerous names and their corresponding information were displayed on the Book of Life and Death.
The Elderly Emperor transferred the Book’s information to Jiang Li via his divine sense.
Jiang Li made a brief summary: “The Body Integration Realm cultivator in this area alone has invaded 62 worlds and over 800 planets. For the sake of crafting a Spiritual Treasure, he slaughtered 2.8 billion people in batches.”
“There are three Divinity Transformation Stage cultivators in total, each of whom have at least invaded eight planets and killed fifty million people.”
“Over 60% of the Nascent Soul Stage cultivators have committed genocide, over 50% have performed blood sacrifices to humans more than twenty times, over 30% of the Nascent Soul Stage cultivators believe that form can replenish form, so they practiced cannibalism, particularly on infants…”
“Over 80% of the Golden Core Stage cultivators have invaded other worlds, over 70% have committed murders for gain, over 60% of the Golden Core Stage cultivators have deceived their peers…”
“Foundation Establishment Stage…”
“Qi Cultivation Stage…”
Those in the Qi Cultivation Stage were either doing menial labor or were outer disciples. Among these people, many cultivators, for the sake of improving their cultivation level and realm, had assassinated others.
What others had said before was indeed correct: if nine out of ten were killed, some would still escape.
“Not all of them are deserving of death. Some cultivators have impure hearts. They like to steal, and although they’re guilty, their crimes don’t warrant death. They can still be corrected. Some cultivators have committed murder in self-defense. For instance, if someone insults their wife and daughter, and they kill in response, then they are not guilty.”
“There are also those who have gone overboard in self-defense. Although they have killed, they haven’t reached the degree of deserving death.”
“And there are those who still have some good deeds left. They don’t wish to be contaminated, holding on to their true selves.”
The Elderly Emperor then scanned other areas and informed Jiang Li of the results.
Having collected a large amount of data, Jiang Li was able to draw a general conclusion.
“In general, according to the standards of the Underworld, for 30% of Qi Cultivation Stage, 60% of Foundation Establishment Stage, 90% of Golden Core Stage, 98% of Nascent Soul Stage, and all Divinity Transformation and Body Integration Stages, killing them would earn us merit in the Underworld. It would be considered a good deed.”
“As for the mortals, mortals have their own laws. There’s no need for us to judge them by other standards.”
Among mortals, there are social classes. Many deserve death because they use their power to commit crimes such as murder, arson, and abduction of women, and they evade the law, becoming outlaws. Countless people have lost their homes and families because of them.
Jiang Li could predict that if the mortals were not managed, and if they also encountered the “Spiritual Energy Diagram”, becoming mid-stage Qi cultivators, it would undoubtedly fuel conflict.
Those who had been treated unjustly in the past would go and secretly assassinate these outlaws, causing chaos throughout the entire nation.
Although the mortal laws are biased towards the rulers and have many unfair aspects, they do not stipulate that murder is legal. Otherwise, these outlaws wouldn’t be using their influence to evade the law, but to simply disregard it.
The Elderly Emperor had also never seen such a reprehensible world. He managed the path of humanity in the Underworld, and the souls he encountered all carried merit.
He had never seen anything like the Eight Desolate, where most of the cultivators didn’t possess even a trace of virtue.
