Chapter 954: Each other’s pawns
Wu Xian was next to Li Qi, taking his mind off to confront the other Yipin while explaining the current situation to Li Qi.
While they were talking, Li Qi's cultivation level was also rising steadily.
This is not a good thing. It shows that the world of desire is booming and will break through Li Qi's control before long.
Fortunately, Li Qi can still control it for the time being.
His magic turned into mist, covering the expanding world of desire. Looking at his inner world from this angle, it was like seeing some eternal and unchanging vast ice fields. The white mist on the ice fields was constantly flowing, like An ocean of rolling waves.
From time to time, gloomy mist surged up, sweeping around like waves and drowning Wu Xian.
As for Wu Xian, who was hanging in the air, he looked ordinary, except that every time the fog pressed overwhelmingly toward him, a colorful and faint halo would appear around him, exuding a peaceful light.
Li Qi's demonic thoughts were also tumbling. Sometimes these demonic thoughts appeared as giant beasts and monsters walking on the ice field, and sometimes they seemed to be black boulders with strange peaks protruding from time to time on the endless ice field.
Together with these, Wu Xian's colorful brilliance adds a strange texture to this ever-expanding, boring wasteland.
Wu Xian didn't pay attention to this, but continued to say to Li Qi: "Humanity wants to release the demon this time."
"Release the demon?" Li Qi was a little confused: "Isn't the demon always there?"
"For you, it's always there, but for us it's different. The Heavenly Demon is indeed sealed by the Colorless Realm. It's just that occasionally he can find some tentacles." Wu Xian explained: " For you, as long as the demon comes out once, it means it has never been sealed."
When he said this, Li Qi immediately understood the reason.
Obviously, the demon's ability to travel through time and space is so terrifying that as long as he escapes from trouble for even a second, he can appear in all places in history that he wants to appear in that second.
If the demon is willing and no one else blocks it, the demon can even appear in all time nodes of everyone at the same time.
He could come and go in all realities at will, whether it was in the past or in the present.
In fact, these can be regarded as Dharmakaya. The demon projects his Dharmakaya into all history. He can achieve this level as long as he escapes from trouble for a moment.
"However, we can also do what he did, so he actually doesn't have much interference. He just appears for some time, and the scope of his influence is limited after all." Wu Xian said.
Li Qi nodded, which is easy to understand.
Heavenly Demon can project, but other first-level ones can't?
Of course it is possible, so if the demon wants to interfere, it will definitely not be able to take too many actions, and it will not be able to play a big role in the first-level game.
So, at this time, the so-called interference of the demon is actually just a chess piece of other first-tier players. The other first-tier players use the hands of the demon to complete what they want to accomplish.
After realizing this, Li Qi suddenly looked at Wu Xian.
"That's right, have you thought of it? That time the humane rebellion was actually the result of us joining forces with the Heavenly Demon. To us, the Heavenly Demon is not an object of deep hatred. On the contrary...the Heavenly Demon after being suppressed by the Colorless Realm , It's an excellent natural material, isn't it?" Wu Xian easily revealed a secret.
Li Qi was speechless. He opened his mouth to say something, but finally shut up.
The Demon Prince once told Li Qi that if Li Qi had any problems, just leave it to the Demon and throw all the blame to the Demon. (See Chapter 814 for details)
"If you want to find the culprit...then go to the Demon. You and I both know that if there is a problem, just leave it to the Demon." These were the original words of the Demon Prince. At that time, Li Qi thought that the other party was laughing at him.
But thinking about it carefully, the Demon Prince rarely took the initiative to laugh at people. He felt that it was meaningless. He was seriously making suggestions to Li Qi.
If something happens, just throw the blame to the devil. Anyway, the devil is the one who takes the blame, and... he is very happy to be the one who takes the blame, and even actively participates in it.
"So, in other words, the demon didn't actually plan many things on his own initiative? Isn't he that hateful?" Li Qi asked Wu Xian.
"It's hard to say. It mainly depends on how you define it. It is true that the demon cannot bypass us and do many things, but equally, he can also bewitch us. The Taoist struggle is getting more and more intense now. How dare you say that there is no instigation behind the demon? "Just using each other." Wu Xian laughed.
Li Qi sighed.
Just thinking about it gives me a headache.
"So, Humanity released the Heavenly Demon this time just to completely mess up the situation? So that all the scapegoats will be exposed and the Heavenly Demon will completely turn the Dao conflict into a chaotic war? What does that have to do with me? It's just because of desire Is the world here? Or is it because of my relationship with the demon?" Li Qi asked again.
Wu Xian said: "Yes, the devil cares about you so much, so he has to control you. But because the devil cares about you, you will inevitably be involved in many things and become many things that must be mastered when playing games with the devil. That’s why we started fighting against you, but I didn’t expect that humanity would make things so big.”
"So, Humanity is preparing to attack the Colorless World and release the demons. What will happen next? Do we want to stop it?" Li Qi asked.
"I will try my best, but the focus is not on the devil, the focus is still on you. If your history is mastered, the realm of desire will fall into the hands of others, and the devil will cooperate with anyone for the realm of desire." Wu Xian said.
"I understand, then leave it to me." Li Qi nodded, he already understood the current situation.
"Don't worry, I know that you have made a lot of determination, so you broke away from the timeline war and chose to use the Desire Realm to force humanity to fight head-on." Wu Xian reached out and patted Li Qi's body on the shoulder. .
Li Qi lowered his head and said nothing.
It's really...a lot of determination.
He shattered his Tao foundation and replaced it with the world of desire, all in order to acknowledge the reality of all things.
Li Qi is willing and eager to admit the reality of all things, because all things include not only many mortals, but also all possibilities including Shen Shuibi, Li Shiwei, La Qi, Lao Ma, and Liu Shu.
Li Qi was unwilling to admit that they were illusory objects derived from the 'ultimate way', but Li Qi wanted to believe... that they were part of the ultimate way.
So he made such a decision. If he failed... he would probably die, but fortunately, it would not affect Wu Xian's big plan.
Wu Xian had predicted this, and Li Qi's death or not would not affect his continued control of the Desire Realm.
However, Wu Xian did not want Li Qi to die.
So, he said: "Come on, I will put more power on the front and buy you enough time."
"Okay." Li Qi began his retreat.
This will be a painful expedition.
And he has already embarked on the journey.
The Witch God sat next to him, personally protecting him while monitoring possible developments outside.
So... time advances again.
On the 'main timeline', that is, in the reality that everyone agrees and acknowledges, time begins to advance.
One hundred years have passed, and most of the Buddhist kingdom has been captured. However, the sentient beings in the Buddhist kingdom have not succumbed to humanity, but have been dealing with humanity and demons.
Humanity seemed to have invaded the Buddhist Kingdom with overwhelming force, but in fact they did not control the situation in the Buddhist Kingdom. They just drove away some mortals and established a humane fortress on the land.
This shows that there seems to be some problems on the third-grade front.
On the other hand, the war of humanity to destroy Buddhism has truly affected the Buddhist heavens.
The Heaven of Great Freedom, the Heaven of Joyful Foot, the Heaven of Trayasa, the Heaven of Night Mo, the Heaven of Great Brahma, the Heaven of Shaoguang, the Heaven of Infinite Light, the Heaven of Light and Sound, and other heavens all fell down one after another. The Bodhisattvas among them fled and scattered, and countless Arhats were killed and injured.
The battlefield does not take place on a mortal battlefield, but in the heavens.
Heavenly beings and humans are the direction in which humanity should attack.
From this perspective, those heavenly beings who are above us, those heavenly beings who have left the Five Paths and been reborn in heaven because of their cultivation of the Ten Good Deeds, and who can "enjoy all blessings", cannot enjoy them at this moment.
Not to mention heavenly beings, even those Dharma Protector Arhats are like this.
When the humane army penetrated those heavens, the monks fled collectively and ran. Everyone found that the protectors and arhats with great magic power were also running with everyone.
A monk asked: "The protectors have so many magical powers, why can't they run away?"
Many protectors sighed: "The karma has reached this point. What can I do? Let's run together."
For a time, these jokes spread everywhere, and the whole world seemed to be aware of it. The Buddhist country... seemed to have been corrupted for a long time.
After the humanitarians actually started attacking, they felt this point especially deeply.
Although the Bodhisattvas and Buddhas at the top still have boundless supernatural powers, the monks and Dharma protectors at the grassroots level are hiding evil and intrigues, and will collapse at the first touch.
All the heavens, devas, heavenly beings, dragons and eight tribes, they look bright and beautiful, but under the front of the human soldiers, they are just chickens and dogs.
There are too many monks like Zen Zhi Monk.
As for these monks, they may have some ability when pulled out alone, and they may be able to compete with a single humane. However, if they are gathered into an army, they will pull each other and hold them back. The whole group is like being cut down in front of the humane army.
Buddhism's mortal battlefield is simply useless and completely unable to compete head-on with humanity.
The reason is naturally not difficult to guess.
The demon's constant corrosion for countless years has already destroyed the foundation of Buddhism.
When the "Buddha and Demon Fellow Practitioners" can openly walk in the Buddhist Kingdom of the West, it seems that everything is doomed.
History continues to advance, and soon it comes to fifteen hundred years.
One thousand five hundred years is quite a long time. I don’t know how many struggles I had to go through to be able to compromise for such a long time.
The defeat on the mortal battlefield also resulted in many third- and fourth-level cultivators being besieged by large formations formed by low-level practitioners. As a result, high-level combat power was damaged.
Many Bodhisattvas were destroyed.
Among them, Baichen Fox King Bodhisattva seems to have been targeted by Humanity for a long time. The execution that should have been completed in ancient times by the Humanity Grand Master has been reduced to zero.
Venerable Pajadeva, the Bodhisattva of Immaculate Light, the Venerable Vodamitha, the Venerable Punayasa, the Enlightenment King, the Bodhisattva of Amrita Light, etc. were destroyed, some were dead and some were injured.
At this juncture, Nagarjuna Bodhisattva was severely injured because he tried to preach Buddhism and destroy demons, and his whereabouts are unknown.
The plan that the devil had laid out many years ago was detonated at this moment.
The Buddhas were blocked by the first-level human beings, and coupled with the eager eyes from all walks of life, it was already a good situation to maintain the current situation, but the third-level battlefield was obviously a bit collapsed.
The power of the dead demon is beyond imagination, and the impact of the demon's full participation in the war is also so severe.
Moreover, in addition to the battle between Buddha and demon, the intensity of the battle between humans and witches is also increasing.
Regarding Li Qi's direction, Li Qi's life was temporarily stopped because Li Qi destroyed his Dao foundation and actively expanded the realm of desire. When Li Qi used the realm of desire as his inner heaven and earth, human nature did not seem to want to damage the realm of desire. After all, they seem to be helping the Death Demon lineage attack the Buddha Kingdom.
This is especially true for Wu Jin, and Wu Xian is also preparing to use the Realm of Desire as a breakthrough point.
Both humans and witches did not want to harm the desire world. Coupled with Wu Xian's active protection, Li Qi achieved a temporary balance in this delicate balance.
Li Qi focused almost all his energy on dealing with the collapse of Inner Heaven and Earth. He should have been dead originally. If Li Qi in this state was besieged by humanity, he would be really hopeless.
But Wu Xian helped Li Qi stand up.
At this point, Li Qizhen is very grateful.
However, he knew very well that this would not last long, and his life and death would not actually affect the realm of desire itself.
Even if he dies, as long as the Desire Realm is not damaged, it will not affect the overall situation.
Li Qi's current status is like that of the man who holds the Heshi Bi and is ready to break it at any time. No one should touch him, otherwise he will break the world of desire and no one will play with it.
However, the reason why everyone tolerated Li Qi was because he was about to die.
Even though he wanted to suppress the world of desire even though he had shattered his Taoist base, maybe the third-level human beings were already celebrating, ready to open champagne to celebrate Li Qi's death.
Li Qi also felt a kind of indifference unique to adults.
Just like a social worker who goes to work will find that everyone has their own things to be busy with.
Even Wu Xian actually didn't care about him that much. Wu Xian seemed gentle and kind, probably just because of his personality. He wouldn't give Li Qi too much special treatment, even if this third-grade man was a bit special and would attract the devil.
But...even the Demon himself was a target that Wu Xian could use, and Li Qizhen was not that special.
But Li Qi also accepted this calmly. For him, the top priority now is to reshape the inner world as much as possible, which requires him to mediate the Taoist disputes in the inner world.
However, at this juncture.
Wu Xian suddenly contacted Li Qi again: "Next, I have to leave for a while."
Li Qi's heart sank.
Wu Xian was about to give up on himself. (End of chapter)
