Chapter 981 I'm back
A hybrid construct named ‘Li Qi’ witnessed his tortured spiritual world in the past.
However, ‘Li Qi’ did not feel self-pity or regret.
On the contrary, ‘Li Qi’ smiled, like a person recalling the suffering of childhood, without any dissatisfaction.
The suffering of all the fragments seemed to be fruitless pain, but it was just a small price to pay for the arrival of ‘Li Qi’.
Suffering happened, but the whole past was fair, sweet, and beautiful because of the arrival of ‘Li Qi’.
The arrival of ‘Li Qi’ compensated for the suffering suffered by all the ‘fragments’ before.
‘Li Qi’ is the paradise that the fragments long for.
In the few lives of the fragments.
Zhou Fang, or Xiao Chongqi, together with their peers in the universe, will continue to move forward at this moment, tempering ‘Li Qi’’s cognition of the universe and achieving perfect insight.
How to describe Li Qi at this moment?
Perfect spiritual body?
No, he is not a spiritual body.
Li Qi's state at this moment is indescribable, just like Taiyi's, no matter what you use to describe it, it is not true.
He should be a spiritual body, because his material existence is not enough to describe him, but... there is no reason to call it a "spiritual body", but it is also wrong not to call it a "spiritual body".
Because, no matter what Li Qi is at this moment, it will contain more than spirit.
Its meaning will only exceed any meaning of ordinary language.
From the human level, or even the level of cosmic intelligence, this "more" is unclear and painful. It is an awe-inspiring mystery that makes people stand in awe.
"How do you feel now?" Taiyi asked Li Qi.
Li Qi sighed: "To be honest... it's not very good."
Li Qi looked at himself.
As 'Li Qi', he can see the tortured individuals in his body, but in Li Qi's view, they are also 'Li Qi', 'Li Qi' standing at such a height.
These weak, hazy, in order to create 'Li Qi', once contributed their dull and sad existence.
Li Qi couldn't describe this feeling, as if he sacrificed himself for himself, and then he was sad for himself.
He was not used to this grand gesture.
But... his second-grade has been completely established, and now Li Qi is a genuine second-grade.
An eye suddenly opened on Li Qi's forehead.
That was an eye of the demon, now belonging to Li Qi, and there were more than fifty strands of true knowledge in it.
All the true knowledge combined...
Li Qi finally figured it out.
Once, Li Qi looked for an answer to everything, that is, the ultimate avenue, everything revolves around the ultimate avenue, and the ultimate avenue is the answer to everything.
But later, he found that admitting that there is an answer to everything is to deny the foundation of the existence of everything, and then deny the authenticity of everything, so he denied this point, which led to the beginning of the Tao dispute and the collapse of his inner world.
Then, he saw "emptiness".
The Buddha's death and the choice of the demon made him feel that the world seemed to have no meaning again. Everything seemed to be difficult to avoid the existence of "suffering" in the end, and there was really no need to struggle about anything.
Emptiness is really a very good answer.
Finally, he chose to witness what the so-called "emptiness" is, so he entered the reincarnation under the advice of his master.
And now, the answer is clear in the reincarnation.
All things are self-generated without a creator. He said, "The creator knows nothing, and the creator knows that things are self-created." Things do not need anyone's efforts, they will become that way by themselves. The reason why a thing becomes that thing is "not supported by the Tao outside, not due to oneself inside", and there is no entity at all.
However, there is still "nature" itself, but this nature itself is not the "real entity" of all things. All things have no entity, and nature is composed of all things.
All things are actually self-sufficient, or perfect, so there is no mutual restriction or mutual dependence between them.
So, this also brings a problem.
According to this statement...
Li Qi and all his fragments have no inheritance relationship.
If the ultimate Tao does not exist, all things are free.
Then, the relationship between Li Qi and his fragments will be the same. Li Qi is no longer the source of the fragments, and the fragments can also exist independently. This answer led to Li Qi's downfall.
However, in the end... Taiyi swallowed Li Qi into Ziwei Star and showed him another possibility.
This is also Taiyi's "preaching".
Taiyi's answer is, don't pursue convenience anymore.
Li Qi, a weak life, grew up from the mortal world. They have a habit, that is, they summarize and summarize by doing subtraction, constantly reducing various things into simpler things for easy grasp.
This is easy to understand. Mortals can't hold so many things in their brains, so they prefer to abbreviate things and "summarize" things. It's best to condense ten thousand into "one".
Therefore, the abstract "one" is more in line with this aesthetic.
The ultimate avenue is such an answer.
It seems that if you master "one", you master everything. In this way, the world is knowable, at least there is a direction for exploration.
So, ‘One’ is the only answer, the ultimate answer, the answer to all questions, the ultimate way, and the final answer to all things.
The conflicts between things are just some silhouettes of ‘One’. If you grasp ‘One’, you can grasp everything.
This is the supreme pursuit of many people.
However, for gods like Taiyi and Haotian, who are born sacred, there is another possible answer to this.
Without the existence of ‘One’, all things are inherently conflicting, more like unknowable darkness, and every exploration of the essence is an adventure.
The real Tao is not simple and beautiful, but more chaotic, terrible, difficult to grasp, and irrational.
There is no ‘One’, or in other words, each thing is its own ‘One’, each thing has its own properties, and these properties may be conflicting.
They are not silhouettes of some great existence, the triangles and cubes in the three-dimensional world are not projections of a higher-dimensional geometric body, but they are simply triangles and cubes.
They just cannot blend, there is no Tao that accommodates everything.
Due to this property, different solutions can be generated for everything, because no logical system can contain enough simple arithmetic axioms to become complete, so statements that can neither be proved nor falsified can always be deduced from the axioms.
Therefore, the universe completely produces many different versions of incompatible logical axiom systems. Due to the existence of incompleteness, infinite variations of "Tao" will fill the universe.
And the result of filling is Taiyi.
Li Qi is the same.
So, he frankly acknowledged the independence of the fragments, but this independence does not mean that they are independent, just like the other star officials in Taiyi's body.
Taiyi is composed of four phases.
The four phases are composed of twenty-eight constellations.
So, are the four phases Taiyi?
Are the twenty-eight constellations the four phases?
Of course not, they are all independent existences, Taiyi is Taiyi, the four phases are the four phases, and the twenty-eight constellations are the twenty-eight constellations. There is no such thing as the four phases and Taiyi being the same thing.
In this way, Li Qi and all the fragments have reached a unity.
And so is his inner world.
Since everything is self-sustaining and self-generated, it is normal to have contradictions. How many mortals with contradictions are there in Taiyi's body? Did Taiyi explode?
No, Taiyi is big enough to accommodate them.
As Li Qi is a 'half god', this property is also applied here.
Of course, there are many things in Li Qi's inner world, but these things are self-sustaining, self-used, and self-generated. They can also be integrated with Li Qi into a higher level of existence, just like Li Qi's fragments.
After all this integration...
is the second-grade Li Qi.
A chaotic collection, an incomprehensible polymer.
Looking up at his body, it seems that you can see the clear blue sky and the white clouds standing like mountains.
This sky seems to show the viewer its endless height
but far exceeds the vastness of millions of worlds and hundreds of billions of worlds.
What he will hold in his hands in the future will be infinite.
Every world, every possibility, every individual has its historical evolution, its values, and will explore the possibility of pursuing happiness in its unique living environment.
There will be countless happiness, countless benefits, and countless different basic realities.
Li Qi at this moment has a universe that is unimaginably complex. When a creature faces multiple choices, it will choose all the options. In this way, Li Qi's inner world has many different histories.
In Li Qi's current inner world address, the evolutionary process is unimaginably complex. There are many different choices at each stage, and there are many possible paths at each moment. However, Li Qi no longer needs to make a choice at this moment...
He can choose all the options at the same time.
Combined in this way, at each stage and at each moment in his inner world, countless small branch possibilities will be generated, countless small, separate, and independent possibilities.
These possibilities may even conflict.
But now Li Qi, as a 'polymer', has taken them all in his pocket and examined all the contradictions and harmony from a strange perspective.
Taiyi looked at Li Qi now and said, "Then, the demon side-"
"Leave it to me." Li Qi said so.
"Be careful." Taiyi said, and drove Li Qi out of here.
He didn't seem to want to say more to Li Qi, or he was a man of few words.
Li Qi took a look at himself now.
It was amazing. With Taiyi's help, he maintained a complete self-awareness. At the same time, he was also a combination of thousands of collections. All the fragments also maintained a complete personality. There was no conflict between the two forms in him.
Is this the body of the "Star Official"? This kind of power that regards everything as its own component is also a philosophy that frankly acknowledges the contradictions of the world.
Li Qi's "half-god" nature was revealed at this moment.
He maintained this posture and fell outside.
In the starry sky outside, the Demon Prince, who took off his mask, was leaning against Mo Hu.
Seeing Li Qi coming, Mo Hu immediately leaned down and hid behind the Demon Prince. Although he couldn't hide with his several-foot-long body, it was also an attitude.
And the Demon Prince walked towards Li Qi.
The two creations of the demons, the two ‘sons of the demons’, met at this moment.
They existed as pawns to destroy the Buddha, and now after everything is over, the reason for them to meet again is… still the Buddha.
Before the Buddha passed away, he talked a lot with the demon prince, and even predicted that the demon prince would become a Buddha in the future, just like what he said to Shariputra, so the demon prince was freed from the retribution of black karma.
And Li Qi also talked to someone before reincarnation.
The golden monkey ‘Wukong’.
Now that I think about it, this name is also very interesting.
Wukong, Wukong.
Did Li Qi understand emptiness?
Maybe.
Before the Buddha passed away, he did some things for the two demon sons. Now it seems that these things have obviously aroused the interest of the demons.
After the Buddha passed away, the demons lost interest, but after that, these two demon sons have become the interest of the demons now.
Is this… the Buddha and the demons found something to do?
Li Qi didn't know, but he was obviously no longer confused.
"I'll leave your business to the Heavenly Demon Queen." The Demon Prince looked at Li Qi and said so.
Li Qi nodded: "Thank you."
The Demon Prince accepted Li Qi's thanks frankly, and then left here with Mo Hu.
And Li Qi also left here.
Now he finally woke up, and before doing anything, there was something he couldn't wait to do.
He came to Xuanjing Mountain at a fast speed.
In Xuanjing Mountain, Zhu Fengdan and Prince Changqin had been here for a long time.
Obviously, they all knew something.
How long did Li Qi stay with Taiyi?
At least it must be hundreds of millions of years.
During this period, no one came, which was enough to show that they persuaded him.
Laqi and Li Shiwei were also standing behind. Like Li Qi, he was very polite, so it was better to stand behind at this time.
However, standing in front was Shen Shuibi.
Seeing Li Qi come here again, the familiar and strange breath came, but Shen Shuibi stopped where he was.
How many years have passed, how many times has it happened? How many times has she made a mistake?
Is it the same this time?
Rabbit was timid and stood still without moving.
Li Qi took a step forward, took out a hairpin from the void, came to her, looked at her short hair, and handed it to her: "I'm back, and from now on... you can grow your hair."
Shen Shuibi was momentarily distracted.
Li Qi took another step and bowed: "Teacher, uncle, I'm back."
