Chapter 632 The Second Grade War
Li Qi was ordered to return to the rear. He didn't even have the chance to say anything to Shen Shuibi and Li Shiwei. He could only hand Li Shiwei over to Shen Shuibi in a hurry, gave a few instructions and left.
He didn't even have time to celebrate the victory in the Vanguard Battle, and the conversation he had agreed with the Demon Prince had to be suspended, so he hurriedly embarked on his journey.
If he guesses...
Could it be related to the devil?
It's very possible, after all, he is the one who directly bears the gaze of the devil.
But... I'm a little worried. After all, after the war, mother and daughter Li Shiwei and Shen Shuibi are still on the front line.
Although the Vanguard War has ended, the Human-Witch War has just begun...
With this worry in mind, Li Qi embarked on a journey.
This journey was not long, only two or three days, but in these two or three days, two alignments were shattered.
This was the first time Li Qi knew that there was an upper limit to the distance of Liesu's teleportation.
Because in the past, Li Qi came into contact with Liesu. Although Liesu has a carrying limit, it is basically the upper limit of the number and quality. If he teleports tens of thousands of worlds, it will be seriously overloaded. The Liesu that Li Qi has on hand is not very capable. Withstand teleportation of level four or above.
It seems that this was considered during the design, and it was never considered to be used by beings above level four.
But when it comes to teleporting a person, there seems to be no limit to Liesu's ability. He can teleport directly from the world to Dousu without any pressure at all.
The distance in between is measured in hundreds of billions of light years... There is no pressure on any of the planets.
But at this moment, Li Qicai knew that if the teleportation distance was too far, the system would collapse.
He himself didn't know where he was teleported to. There was no trace of this direction on Liesu's star map, but the distance was far enough to cause Liesu to collapse.
After two collapses, he finally arrived at the final headquarters of the witchcraft.
Really...eventually.
Zhu Fengdan is not even qualified to command here.
Here, the first-level witch god is personally in charge, and the second-level people serve as a staff group to process information.
There are many war zones, and this is not the kind of war zone that Li Qi is talking about. Li Qi's kind is just a small place in Zhu Fengdan's hands.
The war zone here is talking about Zhu Fengdan's level.
to be honest……
Li Qi's legs were a little weak.
Even though he could stand upright and speak in front of the third-grade person, he still thought that the person he met this time would be the second-grade Zhizhu, and that the place he came to was the headquarters of the witchcraft, and even the ultimate goal of humanity, the sun and the moon. The place where the true lead cauldron awakens...
It's better to stand up a little, don't be too embarrassed.
Li Qi thought this, raised his head and cheered himself up.
When he came here, no one received Li Qi.
In fact, there was no need for reception. Just by arriving at this place, all the information about this place naturally popped up in Li Qi's mind.
This was directly transmitted to him by the 'Alliance'.
The surroundings were not quiet, and there were even people coming and going. Everyone who came here had matters of the same level as Li Qi to deal with.
This made Li Qi couldn't help but recall the time when he was in the war zone.
During the time when he was a conductor, he was dealing with the "only one major event in life" in the world below. Things like the destruction of the world, the extinction of species, and the wandering of civilization, Li Qi had to deal with it every day. Starting in the thousands.
And it's the same now.
For Li Qi, it was a once-in-a-lifetime event, but for Zhizhu here, it was just daily work.
This place does not seem to be in the real universe, it should be some kind of cave.
The cave sky is an independent space, similar to a small universe in the universe.
As soon as Li Qi arrived here, he felt a huge pressure.
The surroundings are very simple, just ordinary buildings, similar to an independent mortal city. There is nothing special about it, and there are no magical powers or magic. But the people walking around, except for people like Li Qi who come to do things , the rest are all fourth grade.
Li Qi was stunned and felt that he was insignificant and not worth mentioning.
Everything in this cave seemed to be mortal objects, but Li Qi could feel that anything that could exist in this space could not be mortal objects, but he could not detect their divine will.
Really know rhyme fails here.
It's not that the suppression fails, but... I really know that Yun can't see through anything here, even if it's just dust on the ground.
The only thing Li Qi could scan out for information was himself and his belongings.
This made Li Qi feel unexpectedly...peaceful.
At least, he can really observe things optically, instead of having his eyes filled with information flow all over the sky.
However, there is a business reason to come here after all.
He walked all the way over and joined the crowd, looking inconspicuous at all.
Separated from the crowd, he came to a small room.
According to the news in the 'alliance', here, he will come into contact with the branch spirit of Zhizhu, and the other party will explain the specific matters.
Yes, you can only say it when you get here, you can't say it outside.
Because everything outside can be monitored and leaked.
Only the inside of this cave is safe.
There are not many things in the small room, just a table, a chair, and nothing else. Even a mortal's home is better than this.
Li Qi sat on the chair, sat upright, and waited quietly.
He was not kept waiting for too long. Soon, a shadow formed in front of him.
Li Qi held his breath.
Is this the spirit of Zhizhu?
There is no abnormality at all. There is no divine intention. It is just a ball of light condensed into a human form. It is probably just for talking.
This Zhizhu was also very ordinary, just like anyone you would encounter at any time on the street. His clothes were made of coarse cloth and had an ancient atmosphere, as if they were dug out of the ground.
While Li Qi was observing, Zhizhu spoke.
"Li Qi, right?" he asked.
"Yes, it's me." Li Qi replied immediately.
Zhizhu said calmly: "The decision has been made about you. You need to be confined here for three hundred and fifty years. During this period, you can move freely, but you can only stay in this cave. You cannot contact the outside world, you cannot make breakthroughs in cultivation, and you cannot Leave a record in words and images.”
"Is this punishment? What did I do?" Li Qi immediately frowned.
He won the Vanguard Battle. There was no reward, so why should he be punished?
"Huh? Oh, the war zone you were responsible for was Zhu Fengdan's round, so he probably didn't tell you... Tsk, what a bastard." Zhizhu took a look at the information and immediately figured out what happened next.
Then, he began to explain: "This is not a punishment, nor is it because of what you are doing now, but because of the future."
"The future?" Li Qi was confused.
"Well, in the future." Zhizhu said: "Because of the arrival of your daughter, three hundred and forty-two years later, you will openly disobey Si Rong Zhu Fengdan's order, choose to cooperate with the devil, and finally save your wife and daughter. But it resulted in the humane destruction of one-seventh of the front line and the direct fall of more than 16.4 million people in the battle area. This has already happened, so it must be stopped.”
"Therefore, you must be banned here for three hundred and fifty years, and all your external interference must stop. Here, neither fate nor cause and effect can interfere, only pure material probability remains."
This call made Li Qi open his mouth, as if he didn't know what to say.
"Understood?" Zhizhu's spirit said.
Li Qi stood up from the chair: "No, I still don't understand. Wu Dao wants to punish me now for my future mistakes? I have never done that kind of thing! After you told me, I will not do this either Things, I know you can predict the future, but since you stop me, the future will be changed..."
Li Qi originally wanted to say something indignantly, but when he said this, he suddenly froze.
He himself realized something was wrong.
If so, you can really change the future. So, if you see a future war with huge losses, you will stop it. Their simple decision can save thousands of lives.
Well, this thing would be prevented from the start.
But after this incident was stopped, it was as if it never happened.
Dear friends, how can we see and intervene in something that has never happened? And they also made it clear that this had already happened.
The Zhizhus knew about the outside world and obtained the situation of the future battle from it, but they also planned to change the future so that the war would never happen...
So, what should we do with this sudden extra information?
Make it disappear suddenly?
Now they already have the results and even details of a future war, and that war will never happen after Li Qi is banned.
So where did the information about that war come from? How should we comment on the fact that this has already happened?
This is a time paradox.
In Li Qi's imagination, maybe...this information, this incident happened in another parallel universe, just like the parallel world theory.
In this universe, wars will occur, but not in Li Qi's own universe. Different world lines were born due to different choices. Is this the world line that Zhu Zhu saw?
But reason told Li Qi that it was far from that simple, because he deeply understood the world's definition of 'universe'.
All space and time, added up, are called the universe.
So...what's going on?
Seeing Li Qi becoming confused as he spoke, Zhizhu's spirit was about to leave, but he suddenly saw the causal thread on Li Qi's body again.
This made him decide to say a few more words, because this was a young man who was a genius and could see the thread of cause and effect when his genius reached the sixth level.
So, he said: "If we can really see the future and perfectly predict what will happen in the future, let's not say whether this divination is based on calculation or what."
"So, do you think humanity has this ability?" he asked.
Li Qi thought for a moment and nodded.
Yes, there should be some humanity.
Then, both parties can see the future and interfere with the future...
Then...how to fight this kind of battle?
Li Qi's expression was dull.
Seeing Li Qi's expression, Zhizhu continued: "Look, if both sides can do it, and our wisdom is perfect, there will never be any failure or victory."
"You saw the future, modified the future, I modified the future you modified, you modified the future I modified, this war will be reduced to a rough sketch, we and humanity can modify or even erase it It, then the war will no longer have any meaning."
"So, if we can fight, it means that the war is not what you imagined. You can start to understand from the sentence 'it has happened'." Zhizhu said.
"That is to say...I did do this. This has already happened." Li Qi forced himself to calm down and asked carefully.
"Yes, you did do it. This thing happened, but... let's let all of this happen again." Zhizhu said.
Li Qi felt like his heart had stopped.
But Zhizhu ignored him and continued: "No one can predict the future, because the future itself is the present. No matter the past or the future, it is the present. Since the present is uncertain, the future must be uncertain. "
"The divination you are doing is essentially to deduce possibilities, not to predict the future, because the future cannot be predicted."
At this time, Li Qi could barely take a breath, and he immediately said: "Then... if I have done this, you... set back the time?"
"We have never set back time, or you should ask... what exactly is time? You should know the relativity of the timeline. You often travel close to the speed of light, and the journey itself is a super-universe action. , and even many worlds have special cosmic light, you should be able to realize that time does not exist, right? "
Li Qi had no choice but to think carefully and finally came to a counterintuitive conclusion.
"Yes..." He opened his mouth with difficulty and said, "Time does not exist... Time is just our subjective perception of matter."
"You see, it's that simple. We reorganize the material, regret it, and start everything over again. We don't know what the future will be like. We can only try again and again. You, try with us."
"This is also the reason why I will tell you so much. You are a very good young man. I have seen many of your achievements, which you have really done, but you don't know, because to you, those are not It happened." Zhizhu's expression was slightly gentle.
Before Li Qi could react, he continued: "So, you should understand the process of our decision-making. What we want to win is a war, not just a battle."
"We can't focus on individual combat events, we have to consider the overall situation. That's why we often send you out to fight a battle that is destined to be lost, and why we let our juniors die, knowing that their deaths will not be rewarded. A little immediate benefit can turn a winning battle into a losing one, but it’s all about winning in the long run.”
"We are constantly experimenting with the future. This is the second-grade war."
