Chapter 487: Chapter 486: Fury at their Lack of Resistance
After being thrown away, the idle Jiang Li gasped for air, his heart pounding in fear.
For an instant, just an instant, he thought he was going to die.
“Look at yourself now, what have you become? Lazy, incompetent, aimless, and wasting your strength.”
“Besides the system, what else do you have?”
“The system could be placed on anyone, even given to Jiang Yixing, and Jiang Yixing could have reversed his fate to become the Human Emperor. So, what do you have to be proud of?”
“Everything you have is given by the system.”
“And what about your identity as a transmigrator? What use does it serve? Have you used the knowledge from before your transmigration to change anything in the Jiuzhou world?”
“You are a person, a living individual with independent personality, not a puppet of the system!”
“If the system meant you any harm, how would you resist?”
Jiang Li was angry but did not argue.
Idle Jiang Li retorted, “How can the system harbor ill intentions towards me? When I transmigrated here, I was only at the mid-stage of Qi Cultivation. What value do I have to be exploited by the system?”
Jiang Li coldly responded, “Now you do.”
Idle Jiang Li felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
Jiang Li wanted to say something else, but seeing the bewildered look on Idle Jiang Li’s face, he realized that the latter hadn’t realized the problem yet.
It was useless to say more.
“When you transmigrated, you had nothing, and I believe that the system could be excused for that. But what about after you became a Mahayana Realm practitioner? What about when you stopped doing the system’s tasks? Look at the messy things you have done.”
“You think you have escaped the control of the system, but in reality, your nature has been crippled by the system.”
“Speaking more would be pointless, take care of yourself.”
Jiang Li did not wish to speak to Idle Jiang Li anymore, feeling that it was simply a waste of breath.
He watched the Pure Heart Saintess and others, who harbored feelings for Idle Jiang Li, and let out a silent sigh.
From their conversation, he came to know that after the Pure Heart Saintess’s first descent from the mountain, she was captured by the demon cultivators, and Idle Jiang Li saved her.
This was similar to his own experience, the only difference being that he regarded the Pure Heart Saintess as a regular friend, while Idle Jiang Li treated her as a girlfriend.
Also, there was Yu Yin. Yu Yin was poisoned by the Hehuan poison during an adventure in a secret realm. Idle Jiang Li detoxified her using his own body, forming a relationship between the two that they could not clearly describe.
Yu Yin wanted to keep her distance from Idle Jiang Li, but in the system’s subsequent missions, especially the special mission, the Path of the Human Emperor, always allowed Idle Jiang Li and Yu Yin to meet.
After seeing each other too many times, and Idle Jiang Li being the first man for Yu Yin, she gradually fell for Idle Jiang Li.
The process of establishing relationships with other female cultivators was mostly the same. It was unclear how much of this was manipulated by the system and how much was due to Idle Jiang Li’s fickle heart. As an outsider, Jiang Li felt that even Idle Jiang Li couldn’t make it clear.
The thought that some romantic feelings were calculated by the system made Jiang Li feel uncomfortable.
Jiang Li broke the dream realm and returned to Jiuzhou.
…
After Jiang Li left, Yu Yin and the others rushed to check on Idle Jiang Li’s injuries.
Jiang Li’s move was too fast, so they had not reacted before Jiang Li had finished attacking Idle Jiang Li and left the dream realm.
“Jiang Li, how are you?” The Pure Heart Saintess looked at him heartbrokenly.
All the other women had similar feelings, only Yu Yin, slightly frowned, and asked, “Why did he strangle your neck? What did you say?”
Idle Jiang Li looked at the women’s worried faces and at Yu Yin’s calm expression, mixed with a hint of worry, and felt an urge to reveal the existence of the system.
However, as soon as he wanted to speak, he wasn’t worried about the system’s punishment but about how the women would see him.
The meetings with the women were all arranged by the system, which was the basis of their feelings. Would the women feel that they had been deceived and leave him because of this?
Idle Jiang Li did not dare to think further. He finally started to understand what Jiang Li had told him.
Everything he had was given by the system. It seemed that he didn’t do system tasks anymore and was no longer under the control of the system, but in reality, he would never break free from the shackles of the system.
“It’s nothing, just a small disagreement. You all go back, I want to be alone.”
Seeing the troubled expression on Idle Jiang Li’s face, the women did not say anything encouraging but obediently left, returning to reality.
Idle Jiang Li began to think about how to break free from the constraints of the system.
“What is this?” Idle Jiang Li suddenly discovered two massive formations appearing in his mind.
“Could this be… the Jiuzhou World Protection Formation? Then what is the formation built from Spirit Plants?”
Idle Jiang Li knew that these formations were the things left for him.
Without realizing it, he had two formations in his mind, and Idle Jiang Li couldn’t imagine how powerful they were.
Just as Idle Jiang Li was pondering life, the dream realm trembled violently, and a figure similar to Jiang Li appeared.
Unlike Jiang Li, this figure was wearing a black robe, his face full of defiance.
“Where is Emperor Jiang Li? I challenge him,”
The First Emperor entered the dream realm again. He believed that getting stronger was not just about stacking power, but also about accumulating battle experience.
Speaking of accumulating battle experience, there was no quicker way than fighting against another version of oneself.
Since it was in the dream realm, no matter how severe the injuries were, one could not die.
The First Emperor had already planned, he would lose hundred battles, grow continuously, and ultimately surpass Emperor Jiang Li!
He wanted to become not only the strongest in their world, but also the strongest in all parallel worlds!
“You are also Jiang Li?” The First Emperor saw that Idle Jiang Li looked lazy and did not seem like a strong man.
No, he couldn’t think like that. When he first saw Emperor Jiang Li, he also thought that the latter was easy to bully, but in the end, he himself was beaten up.
Perhaps, this Jiang Li was also the same.
“Whatever, let’s fight.” The First Emperor didn’t talk more, choosing to fight first.
“Why is he so weak?”
…
Idle Jiang Li suddenly opened his eyes, looking like a drowning man who had been saved, and wore a relieved expression as if he had survived a disaster.
He was badly injured; this was the feedback from the dream realm to reality.
In the dream realm, he was severely beaten by a Jiang Li, who had similar power but far superior combat awareness. This fact made him feel wronged.
If he was beaten by Jiang Li, that could be justified by the difference in power, but being beaten by the First Emperor…
“How many areas do I need to improve in?”
Idle Jiang Li flew towards Mount Sumeru to ask Old Buddha Sumeru.
Although Old Buddha Sumeru was the Sect Hierarch of the God-hidden Cult, and caused the death of nine million people in the Emperor of Heaven Origin City, Idle Jiang Li thought of the fact that Old Buddha Sumeru had been much of a help in his growth process; seen as half a teacher, and had fought back against the Heavenly Demon many times, his battle merits were outstanding. Jiang Li could not bear to kill him. He felt that the merits and demerits were equal, so he spared Old Buddha Sumeru and let him continue to be Mount Sumeru’s lord, but he ordered him not to reveal anything about the God-hidden Cult.
As for the other members of the God-hidden Cult, they were all uprooted by Idle Jiang Li. Not one was left.
“Old Buddha, what is the deal with these parallel worlds?”
