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

Chapter 137: Chapter 136 Settling the Dust (Thanks to the reward from book friend Xiao Yi)

Translator: 549690339

Thousands of light-years away, a group of high-ranking zombies, unlike anything Luo Ying had seen before, sat cross-legged, unable to make the basic seal, reciting scriptures, “The Buddha of Shadows, the lord of three thousand worlds, attains innumerable merits and is best disposed…l feel a response from the Buddha of Shadows!”

A zombie joyously announced, “Exactly, exactly, I feel the same.”

“We were lost and confused. It was the messenger of the Buddha of Shadows that woke us up. We should chant sincerely and praise his greatness.” The chanting grew louder, echoing throughout the universe.

Presently, only zombies above the fourth level believed in the Buddha of Shadows. If all zombies believed, Luo Ying would not be at such a low-stage as Divinity Transformation Stage.

The power of faith is not related to the level of believers, but to their number and sincerity.

“Who could have expected this whale to be a mutant, suddenly awakening to level up.”

Jiang Li felt helpless. He hadn’t wanted to resort to such measures either. Exposure to the power of faith at an early age isn’t good, as it can easily lead to dependency and hinder future development. But accidents are unavoidable.

“Anyway, we’re all safe. Congratulations!” Jiang Li clapped his hands feebly.

Brahma tower expressed concern, “Those scriptures are from the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas of the Immortal Realm. Aren’t you afraid they’ll come after you for plagiarizing their work?”

Jiang Li didn’t care. “If they can come down here, it is all the better. I could ask them how to get to the Immortal Realm. Besides, this is a great and selfless act of saving billions of people. They should understand.”

“Take them all out in one fell swoop—wipe out all the zombies.”

Luo Ying stopped complaining. After all, apart from his followers being zombies, he had no other losses. Gaining the power of Divinity Transformation Stage was something many people desired but couldn’t achieve.

This wasn’t temporary power. As long as there were zombies who believed in him, he could remain in the Divinity Transformation Stage. In this world, he was already mighty enough to cover the sky with one hand and the earth with another.

Under Jiang Li’s divine sense sweep, neither those hiding underground nor those concealed in the deep sea could escape.

If Luo Ying was merely a second-tier enhancer, Jiang Li would have to teach him how to avoid water to go to the sea. But now, Luo Ying seemed capable of going anywhere.

Luo Ying, his Dharma Appearance always active, toured around the world. When the people in the safe zones saw the several dozen-meter-tall Buddha statue, they were dumbfounded.

Fulin District Chief Wang also saw this scene and remembered Jiang Li’s words of seeing the results after a month.

“Could it be that I used those four thousand brain cores to build a Buddha statue?”

When the last zombie was wiped out, the system timer stopped as well.

[Congratulations to the host for completing the task, now drawing all the fragments of the Ascending to Immortal ladder from Luo Ying’s body.]

A zolden light flashed from Luo Ying’s bodv and fell into Jianz Li’s hands.

[Can the system save the fragments of the Ascending to Immortal ladder for the host?]

Jiang Li directly refused and put the fragments into the Storage Ring.

“Is this the fragment of the Ascending to Immortal ladder that Mr. Jiang has been looking for?”

Luo Ying and Luo Zhu curiously observed the small gold piece in Jiang Li’s hand, which looked like an ordinary piece of gold foil.

This was the first time Jiang Li had seen a fragment. He scanned it with his divine sense and found that it contained extremely complex laws. However, these laws were fragmented and probably needed other fragments to be usable.

As he expected, the fragment only had a little residual energy left, not enough to let Luo Ying be reborn again.

“Mr. Jiang, do we have a chance to go to the Nine Provinces?” Luo Ying and Luo Zhu looked at Jiang Li expectantly. After spending several months with Jiang Li and hearing him describe the wonders of the Nine Provinces, they were very eager to go there.

“I’m afraid that’s unlikely for now. I won’t be able to influence your world for ten years, and you won’t be able reach the level of the Broken Void in ten years. Therefore, you have to wait ten years for the Nine Provinces to fully connect with your world. ”

Brahma Tower chimed in, “Actually, I could set up a portal to enable people from the Nine Provinces to come over. However, they’ll be like us, only capable of talking, unable to directly influence this world.”

“Please allow us some time to recover order.”

Luo Ying temporarily refused to establish a portal. Their world was still in ruins. Destroying order was easy, but rebuilding it was hard, especially when large-scale weapons had been nearly scrapped. It wasn’t yet clear how disagreements between various nations would be resolved.

If people from the Nine Provinces came over now, it would be chaos.

“Alright, I will return here in a year to see how things stand,” Jiang Li didn’t insist.

“You can spread the ‘Map of Spiritual Energy.’ The enhancer system damages the roots. Now that the zombies are gone, there’s no need to enhance the body.”

“Okay.”

“Also, you’d better not always maintain your state in the Divinity Transformation Stage. You are talented, and relying too much on faith will just waste it.”

Luo Ying followed Jiang Li’s suggestion, immediately disbursed the power of faith, and the Dharma Appearance behind him disappeared. He fell back from the Divinity Transformation Stage to the Foundation Establishment Stage.

“And Luo Zhu, you are indeed very talented, but you are too reliant on your brother. You need to learn to think independently.”

Luo Zhu was like a bunny, her eyes turning red as she held back tears and nodded.

“You can rest for a while. There’s no need to be so tense, especially Luo Ying. You’ve survived in the apocalypse for ten years, and even after being reborn, you haven’t rested, always rushing about with me. You are exhausted, so now that the dust has settled, it would be best to get some rest.”

“Cultivation doesn’t require speed, it requires stability. Your talents will make you exceptional in the future. Don’t rush. Among your peers, you are the most outstanding ones I’ve ever seen.”

Jiang Li was like a wise, old man, prattling on and on on the eve of a goodbye. He had something to say about everything.

When Jiang Li turned to leave, Luo Ying and Luo Zhu knelt on the ground with tears streaming down their faces, and chorused, “Thank you, Mr. Jiang, for your teachings and for saving the world.”

Jiang Li casually replied, “It was just something I did in my spare time, and besides, I also had personal interests in it—I wanted to get the fragment.” But Luo Ying and Luo Zhu didn’t see it that wav. The fragment was irrelevant to them, having it or not made no difference. What they saw was Mr. Jiang, who like an elder, taught them cultivation techniques and used extraordinary means to save the world.

They bowed to thank him.

“Mr. Jiang, I have heard you talk about the Human Emperor. I wonder if I am eligible to be a Human Emperor?”

Jiang Li laughed, “Ha, then you’d better work hard. I think your sister has a higher chance of becoming the Human Emperor.”

As long as the ruling class of this world agrees that this world is a branch world of the Nine Provinces, the Nine Provinces Earth Veins will recognize this place as a part of the Nine Provinces, and a candidate for the Human Emperor can be selected from here.

This time, Luo Ying wasn’t discouraged, instead he said sincerely, “I will work hard. ”

Jiang Li restrained his laughter and nodded in satisfaction.

After Jiang Li and Brahma Tower left, Luo Ying exhaled deeply, feeling a weight lifted off his shoulders. He no longer had to worry about how to survive, how to eliminate zombies, how to save more people, or how to bring about

peace.

“Brother, actually I also want to be the Human Emperor.” Luo Zhu tried to think about issues independently and revealed her aspiration. “I won’t back down on this issue.”

Luo Ying laughed heartily, “Good, it seems we think alike. But for now, it’s more important to deliver the good news that the zombie crisis has been resolved to the world..”
