Counterattack System appeared when I’m already At The Mahayana Realm - Chapter 655

Chapter 655: Chapter 654: Something Like a Program

“Alright, get up.”

Jiang Li released his grip.

The Lord of Saha World was frightened, looking at Jiang Li with a hint of fear in his eyes.

He had never encountered such a powerful adversary since he became conscious: “Who are you?”

“If you don’t even know who you are, don’t worry about who I am. Let’s talk about you first.”

Jiang Li made a gesture to the Lord of Saha World, which he understood, and he sent everyone else back to their original positions.

Only Jiang Li and the Lord of Saha World remained on the altar.

“Have you seen Him before?”

Jiang Li used a spell to form an image of Respected God-hidden. Looking at the statue with a faint resemblance to him, the Lord of Saha World shook his head.

“I haven’t seen him. I’ve forgotten many things, maybe I have met him in the past.”

“So what can you remember?”

Jiang Li had a general guess about the origin of the Lord of Saha World.

“Eight hundred years ago, I woke up inside a small asteroid, which shattered at my slightest exertion.”

“Facing the dark, silent universe, I was somewhat at a loss. I had no idea who I was, where I came from, or where I was going… I was clueless.”

“Like a child, everything was unknown to me. Instinctively, I scratched the air, and a space-time rift appeared. It seemed like I naturally knew the way of space-time, no guidance required.”

Jiang Li was filled with envy for the Lord of Saha World.

“I landed on a life-bearing planet and for the first time realized that I was not the only being on it. There, I learned their language, their mathematics, and how to communicate with them.”

“But the people of that planet were different from me. They were weak, incapable of walking in space or even traveling through it.”

“I also noticed a prevalent culture of suicide and self-destruction on this planet. I couldn’t understand why. Life is so precious, why would they willingly give it up?”

“After that, I traveled to other planets and found that both technologically advanced and immortality pursuing civilizations had this same issue.”

“I had always been unable to comprehend this culture, besides I felt it was wrong.”

“As a consequence, I established the Saha World to save those on the verge of death. I would bring them here and subject them to life and death trials, in order to make them realize the value of life, that it should not be freely forsaken.”

“Those who pass the eighty-one trials of life and death would especially cherish their own lives and the lives of others. I then allow them to leave the Saha World completely and return to their original planets.”

“Through these trials, their strength and will became exceptionally strong. After they returned, they held considerable influence over the societal trends, subsequently reversing the trend.”

“To prevent public panic once they discerned my existence, I decreed that those in the Saha World could not disclose my existence.”

“After several hundred years of effort, the culture of suicide and self-destruction gradually decreased and is now virtually nonexistent.”

“Recently, as the instances of suicide decreased, I expanded the scope and started to bring people killed by others to Saha World as well.”

“And just at that time, a guy who claimed himself to be a Heavenly Immortal broke into this realm, observed the planet for a bit and then mumbled something about the world not being self-destructive.”

“I appeared behind him and asked him where he came from. Startled, he refused to answer and instead attempted to kill me. On instinct, I counterattacked, and with just one strike, I sent him flying.”

“I followed this Heavenly Immortal to a vast world full of immortals, many of whom were no lesser beings than myself.”

“A man in imperial robes appeared before me, frowned at me, and said that I was the former self of a respected existence. He had no power over me as the respected being was engaged with pressing matters and did not have the time to deal with me. He then sent me back to the Permanent World.”

“I wanted to return to that world of numerous immortals and inquire who I was, but I could not find it.”

“The man in imperial robes was powerful; he locked the space with a strike, confining me, leaving me unable to resist.”

The Lord of Saha World sighed, unsurprisingly, the man in imperial robes knew his identity, which was the closest he got to knowing his own origin.

“A few days ago, I detected that people from other worlds had come here. Out of curiosity, I also brought those people to the Saha World.”

“And then I met you.”

Jiang Li understood. The Permanent World was invaded by the Immortal Realm, was self-destructive, but, the Lord of Saha World awoke, cracked the conspiracy, and drove away the Heavenly Immortal.

“Demonstrate your space-time magic again for me.”

The Lord of Saha World sliced open the Saha World, bringing Jiang Li with him to the outside world.

“Indeed, there is no use of immortal power.”

Suddenly thinking of something, Jiang Li asked, “When I asked you earlier if you could retrieve my system, what did you mean by ‘can’t afford’? Can you see my system?”

This was the first time Jiang Li encountered someone who could perceive his system. He had previously asked the Old Buddha, the Tower of Brahma, and the Immortal who Remains, about whether they noticed anything unusual within him. All of them had said no.

“I don’t know what the ‘system’ you’re talking about is, but I can tell there’s something like a program inside of you.”

“How do I describe it… it’s deeply encapsulated and hidden, and it’s not in your body but in a parallel space that moves with you. This involves deeply profound space-time magic, Immortal Arts, and other arts. Only those who have mastered space-time magic and Immortal Arts can detect it.”

“As expected, the system is not inside of me.” Jiang Li had previously tried to call upon the system in the River of Time, but the system hadn’t responded.

“Although I know space-time magic, compared to the space-time magic that the system involves, I am but a novice.”

“The thing gives me a very disorganized feeling. Its creation was messy, the part involving time-space magic is unclear, plus there are some things I cannot understand… In short, many parts are chaotically intertwined, like a tangled ball of yarn. You can find the end, but you can’t unravel it.”

“This thing is advanced, I shouldn’t be able to perceive it. It’s just that I always feel that there’s some indescribable connection between it and me, which is why I can.”

The Lord of Saha World frowned. He could not understand what this program-like thing was.

Jiang Li considered the words of the Lord of Saha World and nodded, “I think I sort of know who you are now.”

The Lord of Saha World was overjoyed. His identity and origin had been a concern for him. He had thought that he would never know in this lifetime, but he did not expect to meet an insightful person today: “Please enlighten me, sir.”

“How much do you know about the Immortal Realm?”

“I know nothing.”

Jiang Li thought that made sense. The Lord of Saha World had been to a world full of immortals but didn’t realize that it was the Immortal Realm. He truly knew nothing.

The Lord of Saha World’s knowledge originated from what he learned in the Permanent World. If the Permanent World didn’t know, neither did he.

“Wait here, I’ll bring in an expert to explain it to you.”

Jiang Li contacted the Tower of Brahma and returned himself to the nine states.

After returning to the Nine States, Jiang Li rushed to the Sealing Self Cave.

“Elder, I think I may have found the Red Fairy’s brother.”

“The Red Fairy?”

“…You really know how to focus on key points.”
