Chapter 636 Preaching to the World
Li Qi, who had just landed in the sky, was a little stunned in the void.
what happened?
He looked around.
There is a spherical world under your feet. The world barrier is like a smooth glass cover. The world is running smoothly, and Liesu is rooted in this world.
There is boundless void all around, and many airships and large ships can be seen, transporting a lot of strategic materials.
In front of him, there was a relatively large flying boat. The fifth-grade commander from before was standing on the bow of the boat, looking at Li Qi curiously: "Huh? Young Master Qi, why are you so stunned?"
"No... wait, let me think about it..." Li Qi stretched out his hand to stop the other party from continuing.
what happened?
But at this moment, Li Qi discovered that his body was back to before again.
And the local fifth-grade commander said for the third time: "Welcome, Young Master Qi."
There was nothing unusual about him.
But Li Qi took a deep breath.
His grandma's... is doing knitting. Is he... trapped in a time loop? What's going on? Is there such a thing?
Li Qi didn't know why.
But he still responded, and for the third time, he began to reply normally: "Commander Bai..."
However, he said it several times, and the world went back again, and returned to the moment when he just came out of the camp.
Li Qi frowned slightly, but...it's okay.
Although the world is trapped in these few seconds, he can't even do anything. The constant repetition is enough to torture ordinary people to madness, but Li Qi is a fifth-level person after all, and his mind is very tough. A few hundred times will only make you numb at most, and it is unlikely to collapse.
If this is what is called pain, then...it feels okay?
Li Qi began to try other methods.
As soon as he checked in, he immediately fled and was stunned by the theater commander here.
But after a while, Li Qi returned to the same place.
After experiencing this kind of thing for a total of two hundred and forty-six times, Li Qi became numb.
At first, he kept trying to get away, but later he found that he couldn't get away no matter what, so he simply gave up on this nonsense and simply stopped where he was, thinking about why.
His mind was running rapidly, but...he couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he thought.
what happened? Are you being controlled by the powerful? Was this part of the world cut off by someone?
Li Qi secretly timed the time and found that the time backtracking was always about thirty seconds later. However, there was no exact time, it was only about thirty seconds, so there would inevitably be a backtracking.
After the 247th time, time finally moved forward.
Li Qi originally stood there, waiting blankly, ignoring the command.
The other party seemed to wonder why Li Qi was dazed, so he took the initiative to step forward and patted Li Qi: "Master Qi, what's going on? Are you injured?"
"Ah?" Li Qi raised his head.
Thirty seconds passed, but no traceback was triggered again.
What's going on? Did you break away?
"Commander Bai..." Li Qi tried to speak again. He had already realized that the fifth-grade commander in front of him did not realize that something was wrong with the time.
"Huh? What? Oh, I'm sorry, I have some news. I'll listen to it first." The fifth-grade commander suddenly stopped, and then patterns of the world group formation appeared around him.
Li Qi did not disturb the other party. He also knew that as a commander, he needed to process a large amount of information anytime and anywhere.
But I saw Commander Bai's face brighten, then he laughed loudly, pulled Li Qi and said, "Ah, I won!"
He seemed to have received some particularly good news and clapped his hands happily: "Young Master Qi is really lucky. We won a great victory just after we arrived!"
A big victory? Li Qi was stunned.
Then he asked: "I wonder where the great victory was?"
"Our joint operation with the war zone next door is aimed at cutting off humanity's advance team. If successful, it can prevent the establishment of a war fortress and push humanity back to at least three war zones."
"Now that we have won, and also that Young Master Qi has come to help us, it is really a double blessing. Young Master Qi, please come with me, and we will go to see Little Sirong together." After the other party sighed, he immediately got to the point.
Of course Li Qi smiled, then saluted, stepped into the opponent's flying boat, and left this place.
However, when he left, he was worried.
Li Qi was thinking.
There is indeed a connection between ‘victory’ and ‘retrospection’.
There are powerful people who are constantly SL Dafa, constantly resetting, trying to win.
As for myself, I have ‘reality’, so I will not be affected.
What is reality? That is to say, a certain thing does not depend on the perception of other things, and is independent of the existence and nature of all existing understandings.
In other words, even if everyone...no, it should be said that all Tao disappears, you will still not disappear or die.
The physical rules disappear, the four basic forces disappear, and the high-level observer disappears. It can still exist on its own, and it can still exist independently on its own. This is ‘reality’.
Reality means that your "Tao" can exist alone, is perfect and self-consistent, and can still support your own existence after all external "Dao" disappears.
For ordinary beings, they are far from this level.
For them, if the external 'Tao' disappears, their existence disappears.
For example, if the physical rules of an area are eliminated, the mortals will immediately dissipate, and the materials that make up their bodies will directly disintegrate, and they will be unable to maintain their existence.
For the fifth grade, this is not a problem. No matter how the physical rules of the outside world change, the fifth grade can rely on itself to stabilize its own physical rules and allow itself to survive for a long time.
Then, come to a higher level, higher than the fifth level...
It's like, time and space...
The time and space he just experienced kept going back.
The fifth grade is still unable to be independent from time and space.
Their existence has a timeline, and they also need to rely on space to provide themselves with a place.
Therefore, once time and space are pulled away, even the fifth grade will dissipate with it. Even if it is just a simple movement of time, the fifth grade will not be able to notice it at all.
Because, if you want to detect changes in time and space, you can only observe from outside time and space.
Taking the spatial dimension as an example, a one-dimensional line has only one spatial dimension.
Now, there is a one-dimensional villain walking on this one-dimensional line. He seems to be walking in a straight line.
But if it exists in two dimensions, wind this line into a circle and become a circle.
A one-dimensional villain cannot notice it. He has been going in circles, but he does not know that in his eyes, he has been walking in a straight line. If he wants to know that he is going in a circle, he must jump out of one dimension. Come to 2D.
Only in two dimensions can we see that the line he walked is actually a circle.
In the same way, at this time, a three-dimensional being turns the two-dimensional world into a sphere. Two-dimensional people can only move on the plane, and they cannot realize that they are walking in circles.
Because in their world, in their dimension, this is a straight line, this is a plane, they are distorted in higher dimensions, but there is no change in their dimension.
As is the case with space, so is time.
If you want to detect changes in time and space itself, you can only observe from outside time and space.
And how can we come outside time and space?
The answer came naturally to Li Qi's mind.
The answer is that your own great path is enough to support you in obtaining 'reality', enough for your self-existence, and enough for you to be completely independent under any circumstances.
In this way, you can escape from time and space itself, but still not be affected in any way.
It's the same now.
Li Qi...his thinking was separated from time and space.
No, it cannot be said that he is separated from time and space, but that he is separated from the big time and space of the outside world. His thinking at the moment...the time and space he feels is the time and space of the inner world of the Witch God.
He understood.
This is what the Witch God calls 'pain'.
Li Qi's perspective already possesses 'reality'. This is not his own, but... he and the Witch God share the same perspective. He is watching the changing time and space from the Wizard God's perspective.
At this time, Li Qicai suddenly realized what the Demon Prince's expression and the words about "ruins" he meant.
The entire universe is the ruins of Taoism!
Ordinary civilizations are like cockroaches in the ruins. They are too weak to notice this war that has risen to the point of modifying the basic rules of the universe. They are unable to realize that...the universe they are in, this endless outer space, itself Just a wreck.
So many worlds are just barely safe corners in ruins, scraps of moss covered by rubble.
None of them knew that they were living in ruins, including Li Qi.
He didn't understand what 'ruins' meant until now.
Such fragile time and space, such a rippling universe...
In the eyes of a truly powerful person, such a world is like a piece of porcelain that is about to break. It seems that if you push it again, it will completely break.
That’s why… humanity wants to replace heaven with man.
That's why Shinto shrinks its head.
Therefore, the witchcraft will try its best to stop it and even maintain the current balance, even if it requires the lives of many great witches.
The entire universe is a huge ruin, and the great masters are the contenders on top of the ruins.
This reminded Li Qi of something...
‘Preach to the world’.
In the past, Shen Shuibi and Li Qi talked about it. (See Chapter 58)
All the Taoists in the world have joined forces to spread the Taoism widely so that everyone can follow it step by step.
The result...
It’s this broken universe.
What kind of troubled times were they?
Li Qi couldn't even think about it.
If all the worlds, all the indigenous peoples, and countless races had the selfless spread of the Great Tradition, and all had the highest level of inheritance, everyone could directly hear the sermons of witches, saints, immortals, and Buddhas...
How glorious would such a universe be?
What will this kind of moral struggle caused by the universe be like?
The War between Humans and Witches was already the cruelest war that Li Qi had ever seen, but come to think of it...compared with the previous war, the War between Humans and Witches could only be regarded as an extremely restrained fight.
That is the true struggle of the Tao. Everyone, whether it is for personal gain, for the sake of the Tao, or for the ultimate purpose of the Tao... Anyway, they must see the truth.
The universe is just ruins.
Perhaps even the world itself is just a fragment of its original state.
Just like what was said at the beginning.
The earth has rainforests, oceans, glaciers, deserts, hot springs, grasslands...
So, is all this a natural fit?
No, all this is not born, or even 'shaky', all this exists is just a 'current coincidence'.
The world is not naturally this way.
So, Li Qi understood.
But he was not in pain, although Li Qi knew that he would be forced to experience things from a perspective that was not his.
From this moment on, Li Qi could realize that he was being retraced and reorganized, but he couldn't control it. He only had the perspective of the Witch God, but he couldn't truly "break away from time and space."
According to Li Qi's own thoughts, it's like... The Matrix.
People who do not have 'reality' are people with tubes in their heads who can only exist in the virtual world and can be modified and reset at any time.
And those who have "reality" are the awakened ones who exist in the real world.
Li Qi will be stuck among them, becoming a person aware of his own emptiness and being played with by constant retrospection.
He will have the perspective of the Witch God, but he can only be played with by the time and space that keeps going back like other fifth-grade ones.
This is the 'pain' that the Witch God said to him.
But okay, Li Qi felt...it didn't seem to be anything, just treat it as more of an illusion.
Thinking about it this way, he actually didn't think it was anything.
This so-called "nothingness" does not mean that the universe is not realistic enough. In fact, this universe is very realistic, and the existence of people like Li Qi is also very realistic.
But...existences with reality can transcend reality, and they can achieve the same reality as themselves.
Mortals depend on reality to exist, because reality itself has reality.
Yes, the first thing with reality in the world is reality itself. Reality is something that can exist independently without relying on anything.
Practitioners who possess reality transcend the reality that gave birth to themselves, and become equivalent to it. They themselves are another reality.
For powerful beings and ordinary mortals who are equivalent to reality and have reality... it is probably the same as the fantasies in their minds. A thought is extinguished and a thought is born. The birth and death here does not refer to life and death, but to ' existence' itself.
Thinking of this, Li Qi shuddered.
This trait reminded him of a powerful person he was familiar with.
The sum total of all reality, all things being themselves -
Demon.
For the demon, this reality is his fantasy. Apart from him, everything is nothing and is a custom game that can be modified at will.
Therefore, he also created another fantasy, which is the well-known ‘Desire Realm’, or ‘Other Transformation into the Self-Heaven’.
Li Qi raised his head.
Just by having the Witch God's perspective and sharing the Witch God's 'reality', he had a deeper understanding of the universe.
But this kind of opportunity...maybe only he has it.
After all, sharing the reality of the Witch God...
Thinking of this, Commander Bai next to him suddenly patted Li Qi: "Master Qi? Guang Han is setting off."
