Chapter 951 Li Qi's Transformation

Chapter 951 Li Qi's Transformation

Shen Shuibi is naturally involved in this war. In fact, as an indispensable part of Li Qi's life, she will inevitably be involved.

If you have a good relationship with the third grade, you will naturally have to bear the corresponding risks.

Moreover, during these countless retracements, she will retain the memory of each time, and as a fourth-grade person, she will be even more painful.

Li Qi will not be changed. The third grade is already a metaphysical existence and is difficult to be changed.

But Shen Shuibi is not the third grade, she is the fourth grade. The reality she possesses is only to be able to maintain herself in retrospect. She herself cannot resist.

If Li Qi is a writer who is watching a story that is constantly repeated, she is a character in the story that is constantly repeated, but she can remain herself.

This is actually... painful.

It's like the endless flashbacks Li Qi experienced when he was at the fifth level.

It's that painful.

Everything disappears, everything disappears, and only you are left alone.

This also means that other things in this world often disappear, and no one can help her face these. In the world of Shenshuibi, the only real existence is herself.

There was an astonishing sense of emptiness surrounding Shen Shuibi, and she even began to be afraid of this possibility-oriented self.

Because this constant refreshing of the world around us brings a sense of loneliness and nothingness.

No attachment, no shelter——

Lonely, unusual, eerie, cold.

As we said before, people will feel warm and comfortable at home when they are immersed in the ordinary world. Because others have arranged your identity and your way of life for you, I can live my life without facing possibilities. .

It's so easy, comfortable and warm. Everything is in order. I feel like I'm at home. Fear pulls you out of your home and makes you an individual, lonely self.

However, on days like this, there is actually something that can be truly believed in, and that is Li Qi who will appear next to him every time.

This gave Shen Shuibi a great support.

In this world of nothingness and chaos, it is such a happy and beautiful thing to have a solid existence that can walk with you.

It is precisely because of this that Shen Shuibi was able to persevere in this endless timeline war.

But now, Shen Shuibi also saw such an atmosphere around Li Qi.

That... atmosphere of nothingness.

She realized that it was time for her to support Li Qi.

So, she took the initiative to step forward, hugged Li Qi, and said to him: "I have always been here."

Li Qi smiled bitterly: "I know, but I won't be here soon."

"Is this section of the tributary going to be cut off?" Shen Shuibi asked again.

"Well, just four minutes later, to be precise... the fight has already started. I just came back to the present to talk to you." Li Qi explained.

This is indeed difficult to understand, because in Li Qi's case, he was talking to Shen Shuibi, and four minutes later, he was separated from Shen Shuibi, and he was fighting with the third level of humanity. These three things happened at the same time.

At the same time, there are many things happening. For example, Li Qi is experiencing himself in other timelines, engaging in various conversations and countless battles. In the eyes of Li Qi's "body", all of this is simultaneous. ongoing.

There are countless enemies to face at every moment, countless battlefields to clean up, and countless decisions waiting for them to finalize. This is the battle Li Qi is fighting.

Time is meaningless, only timing is meaningful, and timing is only meaningful to Li Qi himself, and everything else can be ignored.

"Only four minutes...then, before that-" Shen Shuibi wanted to say something, but that sentence seemed harder to say than she expected.

So she couldn't continue.

Li Qi just looked at her, looking a little helpless.

He almost guessed what the rabbit wanted to say.

"Li Qi, I seem to have...become your weakness." Shen Shuibi smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said it in another sentence.

"Weakness? Don't say that." Li Qi shook his head.

"In the next possibility, you can't leave me here. I am a burden. Maybe trying to abandon me can bring better results." Shen Shuibi immediately added.

She has realized this.

Because of her relationship with Li Qi, at some key points, Humanity will attack the possibility of Shen Shuibi, trying to deprive Shen Shuibi's history from Li Qi.

If it takes the initiative to divest Shen Shuibi, it may be able to take advantage of it.

"Impossible, I won't do that, you know." Li Qi stroked her hair and said calmly but firmly.

Rabbit shook his head and said, "It's better to do this. After all, you can start it all over again, right?"

Even if it is temporarily separated, as long as Li Qi himself has a future, then as a third-grade man, he has a chance to restore everything.

But that goes back to that question.

Which period of history is 'more authentic' and 'more qualified' to be preserved?

Is it the history of Shen Shuibi's survival or the history of her death?

There is no doubt that for Li Qi, the history of survival is more important. If he is given a choice, he will definitely retain the history that allowed Shen Shuibi to survive.

But……

However, in that case, wouldn't it basically deny the existence of Shen Shuibi?

When Shen Shuibi is reduced to an object that can be manipulated at will, what does this reality mean?

Is there anything else to describe this other than fantasy?

"So I said, I will not give in on this step." Li Qi said.

Shen Shuibi didn't speak, just buried her head in Li Qi's shoulder.

At this moment, Li Qi thought of the past. He once met a third-grade member of the Zhongwei Bird Clan. The other person's Tao Heart collapsed due to the first-grade battle. (See Chapter 916 for details)

At that time, the third-grade Zhongwei bird said to Li Qi: "In the previous war, my history was killed. In the little time I was preparing to escape, I almost lost consciousness. When I returned to When I get a response, I find my history is like a pig being dismembered in a butcher shop.”

"If I had that kind of backbone, I would stand up and fight back to reduce my possibilities to zero. In this way, even if I can no longer interfere with the future, I can at least hold on to the present, hide in the closed space-time ring, continue to live, and look forward to the future. A day that opens up new possibilities.”

"However... I failed to do it. I chose to give in and did not interfere with the changes they made. It retained the possibility of continuation, but it made my past fragmented and turned into a dream."

This memory emerged in Li Qi's mind, and Li Qi suddenly realized that some kind of danger was coming.

When he felt this way because of Shen Shuibi's incident——

If in the end he really chooses to ‘never give in’.

Then, if he falls into the pull of humanity, this so-called "never give in" will inevitably become the beginning of the closure of his possibilities.

This is actually what Shen Shuibi said about 'burden'.

You will never give in, then fine, then let’s play tug of war.

When you are in an infinite tug-of-war in the timeline, it means you can never move forward. For those things, you actively choose to stay in the infinite retrospect of the past.

This is the death of the third grade, that is: the possibility returns to zero.

Li Qi will take the initiative to stay in the past and will not go to the future or create new possibilities.

This made Li Qi sigh.

Do we have to abandon Shen Shuibi if we want to maintain the possibility of traveling to the future?

So……

Abandon Lao Ma, abandon Sixth Uncle, abandon Shen Shuibi...

Abandoning everyone he knows and being alone, he will no longer have any fetters, be light and neat, and it will even be impossible to attack Li Qi based on his past, because he doesn't care at all.

Li Qi naturally became 'immortal'.

Give up everything, abandon everything, and survive only for your own survival.

It's like... a fairy.

Xiantian doesn't care about anything.

Nothing is needed.

Everything in the outside world doesn't matter. You don't need to care about whether it is true or not. It has nothing to do with Immortal Heaven.

Xiantian is a completely barbaric beast. If he was born as an unqualified person, then he is likely to remain unqualified and die without any possibility of cultivation.

But he happened to be a born first-class man, a born first-class man similar to Haotian.

It’s hard to imagine how something like this was born, but that’s how it appeared.

Because Xiantian doesn't care about anything.

Because Xiantian doesn't care about everything except himself.

He has no moral dispute with any existence, and he doesn't care about any interests or anything like that. He just needs to exist.

Therefore, Xiantian is the safest existence in the universe. If Li Qi learns from him, then there will naturally be no problem.

only……

Li Qi suddenly stretched out his hand and hugged Shen Shuibi tightly: "I suddenly figured out something, Yu'er."

"What?" Shen Shuibi looked up.

Li Qi slowly said: "I reached the third level... No, after I reached the fifth level, I have always had a weak attitude towards the existence of mortals. You still know what I looked like when I was at the ninth and eighth levels, right? ”

"I just realized that the embodiment of the so-called 'nature' is not the so-called ultimate origin, which is not so nihilistic. The so-called 'nature' is all things themselves."

Yes, ‘nature’ does not stand above all things, but coexists with all things.

There is no ‘metaphysical’ existence in this world.

Li Qi noticed this.

He is not ‘metaphysical’, there is no existence more ‘metaphysical’ than ‘form’.

Form, the appearance of all things, is the origin of all things.

Therefore, there is no difference between 'real' and 'illusory' at all.

"If even all things themselves are false, then how can there be any 'Tao'? Right." Li Qi stroked Shen Shuibi's head and said.

Rabbit looked at Li Qi, and vaguely saw Li Qi's former appearance from him.

Li Qi before was very 'elegant'.

A third-level master, a powerful person who roams the universe, cannot be restrained by time and space, and has power that can run through ancient and modern times, so naturally... his performance also comes and goes.

He can disappear in one step with just one step. He can decide the world with just one word. His words follow his instructions and his magic power is boundless.

Treating everything indifferently, it would only appear normal to the people around him, as well as those great beings of level three or above. In addition, Li Qi hardly regarded mortals as beings who could talk to him.

Because, there is no need.

Countless poignant individual lives, humanoid creatures, fish-like creatures, snail-like creatures, energy bodies, elements, or high-dimensional lives like Lucky, including the fate of all other creatures.

In front of them, Li Qi stood tall.

His attitude towards these creatures this time was anything but equal.

Li Qi's attitude was neither cold nor simple love.

It is true that if you have to say, Li Qi respects them and loves them, but it seems that as a third-level master, Li Qi no longer has the desire to save them from the sea of ​​misery, nor is he willing to help them get rid of the cruel influence of the environment. .

Li Qi is willing to respect them, but no longer pities them.

In the endless reincarnation, Li Qi saw the mistakes and omissions of these lives, saw their limitations, their trivial characteristics, and their vacillation between oblivion and clarity.

This kind of uncertainty and error has even become one of the essences of these lives. If you help them get rid of all this, it will be to obliterate their existence. Therefore, Li Qi ignores them and just maintains 'their' existence, and for their There is no mercy in the situation.

Because, for the master Li Qi, they are part of the possibility. As long as the "Tao" still exists, then they will exist. Even if they are destroyed one after another, it does not matter.

Because all things are derived from "nature", as long as "nature" is maintained, life will grow from the ground on its own.

This is the attitude of the master Li Qi towards them.

But a long time ago, Li Qi was not like this.

A long time ago, Li Qi was furious and risked his life just for justice.

But as he practiced, he became more and more aware of the fragility of mortals and the illusory nature of the universe, so he fell into a kind of confusion. He couldn't tell whether there was any point in interfering with the universe. He He is still indifferent to the individual mortals, but he is always unsure of what attitude he should take towards the mortals as a whole.

But...at this moment, Li Qi finally determined his answer.

All things are not derived from ‘nature’.

All things are nature itself.

All things are self-generated, and things are self-created.

There is no Tao on the outside, and no self on the inside. Things in the world seem to have a 'Tao' that makes the world what it is. However, if you seek that metaphysical 'Tao', you will only get nothing.

Because things are created independently and do not treat each other, each specific thing becomes an independent entity, and the sum of all things is "nature".

With this answer, Li Qi has a new perspective when he looks at mortals, Shen Shuibi, and the endless reincarnation.

At the same time, he also made a new decision.

"Leave it to me." He whispered in Shen Shuibi's ear.
