Nightmare Immortal Era

Chapter 150: Zhongli's Counsel

It's said to be a newly discovered ability in the Spirit Realm, but it's not that surprising.

Because before Yang Ning reached the Qi Refining Stage, this world couldn't sustain living beings. This ability only came after he reached the Qi Refining Stage.

But even if he couldn't create living creatures, he could create a planet to play with!

With a thought from Yang Ning, he appeared in a broken little world.

Gui Li Yuan, Wang Shu Inn, Li Yue Port.

Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar world in front of him, Yang Ning's expression was inexplicable.

This world was indeed created by him, but it was only borrowed from his memories. Yang Ning only remembered a few key characters and their general personalities.

But what was this world really like? How big were the rocks, how many people were in the city, how wide were the rivers, and would the old man fishing have an air force? These countless details were all spontaneously evolved by the Spirit Realm.

So although it was indeed a world created by Yang Ning, when he came here, it felt just like transmigrating, full of freshness, without a feeling of omniscience or omnipotence.

"So, what exactly is the Spirit Realm?" Yang Ning was somewhat shocked, but upon careful consideration, it didn't seem that impressive.

After all, Bai Ge from "Brain Explosion" had a similar ability, and hers was even more powerful! She could create containment objects and create rules like "Heaven rewards hard work," which Yang Ning couldn't do.

Heaven rewards hard work, this ability was no weaker than any Supreme Dao Technique!

Forget it, I won't think about it. It's meaningless. Zhao's cultivation is above the True Immortal level, and even his Dragon Ball can be accommodated by the Spirit Realm. The secret of this thing is not something a mere Qi Refining Second Layer cultivator can explore.

Since he had already entered the city, Yang Ning didn't want to waste any more time. He went straight to Wanmin Hall. With a sweep of his eyes, he saw a young man wearing a luxurious brown-black robe, with a small braid and a mature temperament.

Yang Ning approached him and lightly patted his shoulder. "Brother, can I have a table?"

Zhongli looked at the many empty tables nearby, remained silent for a moment, and said, "Of course!"

Yang Ning nodded with satisfaction and sat down, then called out, "Boss, bring me your famous dishes!"

"We have many famous dishes!" Master Mao poked his head out from behind the stove and said, "If you can't finish them, it will be a waste!"

"Don't worry!" Yang Ning patted his stomach. "I have a big appetite!"

"Uh, okay!" Master Mao stopped talking. There were indeed many strange people in this world, including some immortals disguised as humans. He guessed that Yang Ning was one of them.

However, Zhongli could tell that Yang Ning was neither an immortal nor a demon god.

He didn't even have a trace of elemental power, clearly just an ordinary person!

"What should I call you, brother?" Zhongli asked.

Although Yang Ning had the face of a Liyue person, Zhongli should recognize every Liyue person, but he didn't recognize this one.

"I'm called Yang Ning!" Yang Ning smiled. "Do you recognize me?"

"I don't recognize you!" Zhongli shook his head. "Brother, are you from a foreign country?"

"Not a foreign country, more like a different world!" Yang Ning smiled. "Actually, I came this time to ask you a question."

"Oh?" Zhongli was taken aback. A different world?

This term shouldn't be used lightly!

After all, he was a demon god, and his thinking speed was very fast. In an instant, he regained his composure and asked, "I don't know, brother, what do you want to ask?"

"It's like this!" Yang Ning said, "There's a country called Jiangyun. In terms of total area, it's about ten times the size of Tivat, and the population is also ten times that of Tivat."

Zhongli nodded, indicating for him to continue.

"This country is very strong, and the people are very united. But unfortunately, because of its rapid development, two other forces couldn't stand it anymore!" Yang Ning said, "So these two powerful forces took action, killed the king and members of the royal family of Jiangyun, and divided the country into two opposing forces!"

"The people of Jiangyun, some followed the post-war forces, while others remained loyal to the original Jiangyun country. They were captured by these two forces after the war and sold as slaves all over the world!"

Yang Ning looked at Zhongli intently and asked, "Now, some of the Jiangyun slaves have found a master with your level of wisdom. Do you think there is any way to restore the Jiangyun country for these slaves?"

The person he most wanted to see was not Zhongli, but that person's authority was too heavy to write about.

Coincidentally, Yang Ning had been teaching disciples in the identity of Zhongli for two years, so he decided to ask the real Zhongli.

Wasn't it said that Zhongli embodied all the virtues of emperors in Chinese history? Perhaps he had a solution!

That's right, with the infinite world of Yang Ning, not only did he have infinite scientists to help him save his brainpower, but he also had a staff of advisors!

If Zhongli couldn't help, he planned to go and ask Zhuge Liang.

Zhongli didn't know if Yang Ning really came from another world. If not, then the Jiangyun country might just be a content from a novel.

But if he did...

Then the Jiangyun slaves would be a real thing!

And Zhongli had always detested slavery. From the establishment of Liyue until now, slavery had never been practiced for a single day!

The reason for this was probably due to the setting of the gods' love for humanity.

"What are the characteristics of these Jiangyun people?" Zhongli thought for a moment and asked.

"Honest, trustworthy, kind, brave, and resilient, just like the people of Liyue," Yang Ning replied.

Zhongli suddenly felt a sense of identification. And then he thought, if Liyue were to be torn apart by other gods, his anger would rise!

However, Zhongli asked again, "How powerful are the two forces that tore apart Jiangyun?"

"To put it this way, if Jiangyun were ordinary people, then those two forces would be like gods!" Yang Ning said. "During its heyday, Jiangyun might have been able to put up a fight, but the current Jiangyun slaves have no opportunity for cultivation. They can't even defeat a slime!"

Zhongli furrowed his brow.

A group of mortals trying to fight against divine-level beings, how is that possible?

Zhongli asked again, "You said these Jiangyun survivors became my disciples. What did I teach them?"

"Basic cultivation knowledge, martial arts techniques!" Yang Ning said. "They might be able to win against the Torch Hill people!"

Zhongli was speechless.

The power gap was too great, how could they possibly win?

No, it might still be possible!

Zhongli thought of a kingdom composed of mortals, yet almost defying the heavens - Khaenri'ah.

"With average strength, perhaps there is still a chance if they rely on external objects?" Zhongli asked.

"I may have misled you earlier by comparing them to slimes and gods," Yang Ning said. "In reality, it should be compared to the Torch Hill people and the principles of the world. Now, what does Mr. Zhongli think is the solution?"

Zhongli was at a loss for words. You think too highly of me.

If I knew, I would have rebelled against the principles long ago. Is there a need to unite with the Cryo Archon?

"I can't think of any solution to break the deadlock!" He was an honest person and admitted his shortcomings. "In the face of absolute power, all schemes and tricks are meaningless."

"I see," Yang Ning nodded, lightly tapping the table. "Then, Mr. Zhongli, how about you help me strategize my plan?"

Zhongli nodded, "Please go ahead!"
