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

Chapter 311: Chapter 310: The Dream of True Man Dongxu

“My name is Wang Li, in the Divinity Transformation Stage.”

“My name is Wang Hongtu, in the Divinity Transformation Stage.”

“…Could you both make your names any more perfunctory?”

Originally, the True Taoist believed Jiang Li to be so generous because he was the illegitimate child of someone in the Transcendence Tribulation Stage.

But on second thought, that didn’t seem right. Among the current five Transcendence Tribulation Stages practitioners, Li Er was afraid of his wife, Sword Jun had only been born a few years ago, and couldn’t have an illegitimate child this quickly. The Queen Yu Yin didn’t even have a harem, therefore, she wouldn’t have an illegitimate child.

Calculating this way, the only possible answer was that Jiang Li was Sect Master Bai Hongtu’s illegitimate child.

However, the likelihood of this was very small. Who would make the identity of their illegitimate child so public, as if they were afraid others wouldn’t know their status.

If an illegitimate child’s identity could be public, they wouldn’t be called illegitimate.

More importantly, one of them was named Wang Li, while the other was Wang Hongtu. It was clear they just changed their surnames and randomly chose a fake name.

“Human Emperor, it’s been five hundred years since we last met.” True Taoist greeted with reverence.

Ever since Jiang Li failed his Secret Realm test five hundred years ago, True Taoist hasn’t seen him again.

“Sect Master Bai.” True Taoist and Bai Hongtu didn’t often meet either.

True Taoist was a Loose Cultivator while Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu were rulers of two of the most powerful forces. They seldom crossed paths.

Even the Nine States Council didn’t invite Body Integration Realm Loose cultivators to their meetings.

The principal reason being that they were hard to find.

As the younger generations left, Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu simply stopped pretending.

“True Taoist, you’re perceptive, seeing through the identities we painstakingly created!” Bai Hongtu candidly admitted his identity.

True Taoist felt even a blind person could see through their poor disguises.

“Human Emperor, your luck is indeed hard to describe.” True Taoist bitterly smiled. The test five hundred years ago was to randomly select a fruit, spit out the seeds, and the one who spit out all the seeds first won.

Some selected apples, some pears, some watermelons, and others chose dragon fruit.

Jiang Li chose dragon fruit. In the end, he spat out seeds until he couldn’t even speak smoothly.

Five hundred years have passed and his strength has increased to the Mahayana Realm, but his luck hasn’t changed at all.

True Taoist’s method of judging people by their luck is quite accurate, except in the rare case of Jiang Li.

Jiang Li speculated that five hundred years ago, the system employed some means to let him win.

“What is the ultimate reward? A Spiritual Treasure, or some Heaven and Earth treasure?” Bai Hongtu felt if it were anything ordinary, he wouldn’t take it.

He didn’t need it, and it would be embarrassing to take it.

“Not exactly, I want to tell you the truth about the world.” Despite merely being in the Body Integration Realm, True Taoist dared to wildly proclaim that he had seen the truth of the world. It seemed ludicrous.

However, True Taoist’s serious attitude made others think he wasn’t joking.

“We would like to hear more.” Both men no longer laughed, but sat in stone seats quietly listening to what True Taoist had to say.

Originally, True Taoist thought that due to his low stature, revealing this would only invite ridicule, but he didn’t expect these two to choose to listen to him.

“The reasons why I choose to believe in fate stem from my dreams.”

“Dreams?” Bai Hongtu didn’t have much experience with the Dream Path.

“Yes, I’ve been dreaming since I was a child, very realistic dreams.” True Taoist nodded sincerely, indicating he wasn’t lying.

“I came from a small sect, my father was the sect’s elder. I grew up in the sect, then left and roamed in the Nine States, eventually becoming a Body Integration Realm practitioner.”

“When I was young, I dreamt that I died in my mother’s womb.”

“After waking up, I asked my mother if it was true. She told me that when she was pregnant, she was severely injured. Everyone thought I died. But my father successfully found a cure that not only saved my mother but also allowed me to be born.”

“Before the dream, I wasn’t aware of any of this.”

“I also dreamed that our sect was annihilated by an enemy force and that I was killed.”

“After investigating, I discovered that indeed there was an enemy force who wanted to wipe out our sect, but the day before they attempted, they offended a high-ranking person who eliminated them. Only then, our sect was spared from the assault.”

“I also dreamed that I fell off a cliff and died at the bottom. The feeling of death was very real.”

“Days before the dream, I froze while walking on the edge of a cliff and almost slipped. Luckily, I reacted quickly and escaped unscathed.”

“After waking up, I always felt uneasy. I went to the bottom of the cliff to take a look. The scene at the bottom of the cliff was the same as in my dream, when previously I had never been down there.”

“Can you imagine what that feels like? I felt like I was going crazy!” True Taoist was frantic. He had nearly died in reality, while in his dream, he truly died.

It was as if fate was mocking him, saying, ‘Good job dodging once, but there will be a day when you won’t be so fortunate.’

You are certain to die.

Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu suddenly thought of Yu Feng.

“Next, I practiced a cultivation technique causing my inner energy to go out of control, thankfully, I suppressed it.”

“A few days later, I dreamed that after my inner energy went out of control, I went on a killing spree. I was seen by a powerful cultivator who killed me with one strike.”

“After investigating, I found out that the cultivator really did pass by the foot of our mountain when I went out of control.”

If it happened once, it could be said to be a coincidence, but if I dream of something I am unaware of constantly, it’s hard to convince myself it’s simply a coincidence.

‘Eerie’ would be a more accurate description.

“I also dreamed of being attacked and killed by an extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon.”

“In reality, however, Human Emperor Lu showed up and saved me.”

“Besides that, there were many similar dreams, all ending with my death. The dreams felt so real as if I had actually died.”

“So, I felt that me being alive was purely due to luck. Everything is determined by fate. No matter how powerful, you can’t defy fate.”

Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu fell silent, pondering over the cause of True Taoist’s dreams.

They had never heard of such a thing before.

“I have been thinking, could there be other worlds where I have died and that reflected in my dreams.”

“Other worlds?” Jiang Li frowned. The ‘other worlds’ True Taoist referred to certainly wasn’t the generic term for the Ten Thousand Realms.

“Are you talking about parallel worlds?” Jiang Li remembered an hypothesis Sumeru old Buddha had mentioned.

Sumeru old Buddha suggested the possibility of a world like the Nine States, where when a choice between A and B is presented, we chose A in Nine States, but those in the parallel world chose B. This then created a divergence between the Nine States and the parallel world.

What True Taoist meant was, he was alive in the Nine States, but he had died in the parallel world.

“Yes, parallel worlds. Human Emperor, your term is precise!” True Taoist exclaimed, slapping his thigh. He had been struggling to find a term to describe the world where he had died and Human Emperor had presented him with “parallel world”.

Sumeru old Buddha’s hypothesis of parallel worlds had no evidence, thus he didn’t publicize it. He only discussed it with a few close acquaintances.
