Chapter 333 Things that don’t exist

Li Qi immediately bowed respectfully: "I am all ears."

The Grand Tutor sat down where Li Qi was originally sitting and asked: "Do you know why the Heavenly Demon came to you?"

Li Qi did not hide anything and said his guess: "I dare to guess, it should be... because of my identity as an outsider?"

"You are right, it is because of this, but your outsider is not the same as ordinary outsiders, so I am going to tell you in detail and answer your doubts." The Grand Tutor said.

Li Qi lowered his head: "Are you worried about what the Heavenly Demon said at the end?"

Hearing Li Qi's doubts, the old man nodded: "Yes, I am a little worried. You are indeed a very curious person. If I hide too much from you, I am afraid you will really go to the Heavenly Demon to seek answers."

The Grand Tutor sighed: "So, I will answer a lot of things with you, but I hope you believe me, there are some things that you really shouldn't know."

"You haven't completely become a demon yet, you can't bear some shocks on the road, not telling you is really for your own good."

"I understand, then... can I ask?" Li Qi raised his head and said.

He really had too many doubts.

He needed answers.

Perhaps what Tianmo said was right. Li Qi's curiosity was the biggest weakness of his Tao heart.

This was an irrepressible curiosity. The original reason why Li Qi even practiced was to witness things he had never witnessed before.

"Ask." The Grand Master nodded.

Then, Li Qi immediately asked: "May I ask the Grand Master, what exactly is the external Tao?"

Hearing this question, the Grand Master thought for a while. He touched his beard and looked up at the sky, as if he was considering how to tell Li Qi.

Because this question was a bit too big.

What is the external Tao?

How to describe it?

The Grand Master pondered for a while, and then suddenly waved his hand.

The sky suddenly changed.

It was daytime, and the sky in Chang'an was blue, with clouds and strong winds swaying.

Then, suddenly, this sky turned into night, and the sun and the moon fell at the same time, turning into a bright starry sky.

The light of the stars seemed to be magnified, so the sky at this moment was particularly beautiful.

The star dragons in the deep valley howled sadly, the reflected stars shook, and the tiny part of the universe was invisible.

It was really, too spectacular, and the shock was almost indescribable.

Especially when Li Qi knew that the sky full of stars was actually a group of worlds.

This gorgeous picture was essentially a miracle composed of infinite space, infinite life, and even the infinite, gorgeous civilization they created.

Moreover, he understood that this starry sky was probably not fake, not an illusion.

It was real, repelling the sun and the moon in the world and letting the starry sky show.

I don’t know what the chaos outside is like now...

However, it doesn’t seem to be chaotic.

Because, the cosmic light seems to be still?

As long as this stagnation is maintained, no matter what you do, before the cosmic light starts to flow again, everything will be restored, and then nothing will happen.

The power of the first rank... is really terrifying.

Li Qi stared at the starry sky, waiting for the Taifu’s answer to his question.

After the Grand Master waved his hand and spread out the starry sky, he said, "To talk about the outside world, you must first know the composition of the universe."

"Li Qi, the witches and shamans will specialize in studying celestial phenomena, so you should know that this starry sky is exactly the same in all worlds. Do you know why?"

It has been said before that the sky is the same in all worlds.

The four phases, the Big Dipper, the twenty-eight constellations, these stars that can be seen in the world will not disappear just because you change the world, or because of their own position changes, causing the stars to change.

All worlds share the same starry sky, and even the position will not change, just like using the same map.

If there is a change, it is the revelation of the stars to mortals, indicating that the world is about to change.

"I don't know." Li Qi replied immediately.

He really doesn't know. Although he understands that there is such a phenomenon, he is still at a loss as to what it means behind it.

"Because the world itself cannot see the stars." The Grand Master said so.

"The stars that are now displayed in front of all the worlds were hung up in the sky by the star officials little by little. Each star represents a star official, not a shining world."

"It was the star officials of the ancient times who jointly forged the Star Avenue, thereby intervening in the movement of the sun and the moon, and becoming one of the three talents of the sun, moon and stars."

"Originally, only a few worlds had natural stars, but the star officials expanded this to all worlds, making the starry sky a standard feature of all worlds."

Hearing this answer, Li Qi felt terrified.

The starry sky... was forged by humans?

Did the star officials...hang it up one by one?

The world itself has no stars? In other words, there is no such bright light to be seen between the worlds. Originally, all the worlds should only have the sun and the moon? Even without the sun and the moon?

Is the way of the sun and the moon also forged by others?

Li Qi didn't dare to think about it.

But the Taifu continued to ask him: "Do you know what this means?"

He looked at Li Qi.

This time, Li Qi didn't want to say that he didn't know, so he lowered his head and thought about what this meant.

Li Qi is a smart man, and he quickly found the key.

Every world does not necessarily have stars, nor does it necessarily have sun and moon.

It's hard to tell about the sun and the moon. After all, in Li Qi's understanding, the sun and the moon are actually stars and satellites, although they are different in the world...

The sun and moon in the world are of the same size. The sun and the lunar sky are of the same nature, and no one is more noble than the other.

But when it comes to other world groups, Li Qi knows it. For example, the Diuse he has been to is the entire world group, hundreds of thousands of worlds, sharing a pair of sun and moon.

These world groups revolve around the same pair of sun and moon.

So what does this mean?

The thing that represents the ‘sun, moon and stars’ is not one-size-fits-all.

The sun, the moon and the stars themselves have their own limitations. This is not like the laws of physics, which will definitely take effect wherever they are placed.

Then this means...

The way of the world is not universal.

The rules of the world are everyone's own.

This is actually a very scary thing, because if you think about it, on earth, the entire universe follows the same set of laws.

But here, Li Qi suddenly realized something.

Every world follows different rules!

He misunderstood.

This 'universe' in the world is not the universe that Li Qi understands!

Seemingly seeing Li Qi's expression, Taifu nodded: "Do you understand now? What is a heretic?"

"Outside the Endless Domain, there are countless world groups. The worlds in the world groups range from large to small. The large ones include the universe, the small ones are round and round, and there are even some strange worlds, such as turtles carrying turtles stacked one on top of the other. The world that is moving, the giant who plays with the world as a ball, etc.”

"The universe refers to all time and space, not a single system." Taifu said.

And Li Qi also understood.

He had always thought that... the outside world was actually the universe as he originally understood it.

The world, although a little strange, should be no different from the planet.

But after hearing what the Taifu said, he understood.

The world and the planet are so different.

Personally speaking, the entire universe in which the earth is located is probably just a 'world' on the Tianxia side.

The observable universe, which spans tens of billions of light-years, is just a ‘world’.

Tens of billions of light years... this distance.

Maybe... it's a first-grade world?

No, it’s hard to say.

Li Qi knew so little about that level that he had no way of knowing or judging.

However, one conclusion can also be drawn.

The entire outer domain is not a universe composed of planets and galaxies.

But a ‘multiverse’ composed of worlds one after another?

The Taifu said: "So, this is heresy, a world different from the world I know, with completely different rules."

"It's just that there are differences among heretics."

"For example, in the infinite worlds outside the domain, many of these worlds share the same avenue, and the various constants are the same, but their composition is arranged in different ways. Therefore, this is the most recent heretic. Have you seen Jintai?"

Li Qi nodded. He had seen many world groups on the golden stage.

He knew that these world groups were worlds that could be rushed to quickly. Taking Jintai's transportation, even if it was countless billions of light years away, he could easily arrive in a few hours.

"The world encompassed by Jintai is the world unified by the same great road. The world inside has been almost assimilated by the world." Taifu said a terrifying fact plainly.

"The world outside Jintai, such as the sixth-grade world you hold in your hands, is a world with great differences. The basic laws are roughly the same as our universe, but the constants may be slightly different, which can produce more special products. These special products are also One of the driving forces behind the world’s continuous expansion is the second farthest heretic.”

"There is also a further outer path, which only existed in conjecture before. That is, even the most fundamental path is different, and the various settings and constants are completely different."

The Taifu looked at Li Qi and said calmly: "This third-far heretic is where you come from. It used to be a guess, but it is no longer true."

Li Qi's breathing stopped.

This heretic is indeed a bit far away.

"Of course, there is the fourth level, which is the farthest, but that is even more nonsense. It talks about a completely different avenue from what we already know. There is no similarity at all. This is not even a complete guess. Like a dream."

"Do you understand? What is a heretic, and how important is the heresy in you." Taifu said.

Li Qi saluted again: "I understand, kid. Then I have another question. Demon, why do you value me so much?"

"Why? Well... for the sake of detachment." Taifu pondered for a moment, but now he answered quickly.

"Detached?" Li Qi frowned.

Detached from what? A good grade, is there anything else that cannot be surpassed?

Not even the physical laws of reality can control him. He can modify the world at will, fiddle with the light of the universe, and trample space. Even people's memories and thoughts can be easily erased and rewritten.

Li Qi couldn't figure out what else could keep him from transcending.

Facing Li Qi's doubts, the Taifu replied: "Li Qi, do you know the weaknesses and characteristics of the devil's path?"

Li Qize immediately replied: "Young man knows a thing or two...it was the devil who told me just now himself."

The Taifu said that he knew, and then explained to him: "The devil believes that everything is empty and empty, and only one's own heart is real. So for their path, how to fill one's heart is Top priority.”

"And he transforms into a free-spirited demon, so he is naturally the strongest among them. His small world of human body... is also called the desire realm, or he transforms into a free-flowing heaven and a demon world."

“In the Desire Realm, everything in the outside world can be reproduced here and be satisfied. All your desires and pursuits can be satisfied in the Desire Realm. You can even pursue the Tao in the Desire Realm, and the external Tao can be found in the Desire Realm. The reappearance in the world of desire is no different from that in other worlds, and it is actually usable.”

"It is a... dreamlike world. It was built by the demon using all his knowledge, intelligence, and all the secondary demons all over the world to see everything with his eyes."

Li Qi felt a little numb in his heart as he listened to Taifu's description of the world of desire.

What is there that these first-class existences can’t do?

What meaning does this world have to them?

Reversing time and space, reversing cause and effect, all wishes come true. Now the world of desire can easily copy everything in the heavens and the world. To the devil, this world is just something he fabricated at will.

What else does he pursue?

At this time, the Taifu knocked Li Qi on the head and said to him: "This is the characteristic of the devil, but at the same time, it is also the weakness of the devil."

Li Qi immediately became respectful and pricked up his ears to listen to the weaknesses of the devil.

"The devil has built a complete world in his heart. This world itself is impeccable and perfect, but...perfection means standing still."

"He transformed into the Demon of Freedom and is famous for his changes, but when an object has all the changes at the same time, it is equivalent to losing the ability to change. When it changes into reality, can his heart still transcend reality?"

Hearing Taifu's rhetorical question, Li Qi fell into deep thought.

He pondered the answer to the question in his mind.

Taifu means——

The small human world of the devil is destined to be unable to transcend reality. The world of desire has included everything in reality, but it is still difficult to transcend.

This is the shackles of the devil's path, the endless shackles that imprison him in his transformation into a free-spirited demon.

Even if there is no Taoist conflict in your body, you can set it however you want, and all the parameters can be adjusted at will. Then can you make something more exquisite than the real world?

If you want to be more subtle than reality, you need to transcend reality itself.

Impossible, impossible.

The reason why it can't be done is also very simple.

Can people imagine something that does not exist?

Or to put it another way.

Can the demon use his method of transformation to create something that doesn't exist at all in the real world?

Wait, as a third-level heretic...

Is it the devil’s ‘unimaginable thing’?
