Chapter 1032: Enlightenment

After watching the moment of the birth of the demon, Cang Tian took Li Qi away from here.

However...

Li Qi has already joined the game.

How to say it, Li Qi has already appeared at the moment of the birth of the demon. In other words, when other people go back to this place, they will also meet Li Qi.

If there is any dispute in this place, they will also meet Li Qi here.

At this time, can Li Qi stay out of it?

Obviously it is impossible.

Therefore, Li Qi has participated in this history and has become a part of this place. He is even next to the birth of the demon.

Whatever major events happen here in the future will definitely be inseparable from Li Qi, and he will definitely be forced to choose a side.

This is the consequence of "being involved in history".

To explore the secrets, you cannot read books or listen to people's stories. That must be unreal for the powerful, and it is impossible to understand the whole picture.

Only by coming to the scene in person can you really know what happened.

However... when you appear at the scene, you become a part of history, a part of the secret, and you naturally join the development of this history and become one of the background boards here.

Then, if something happens here in the future, you will definitely be involved.

The more you know, the more dangerous it is. The more you participate, the more crises you will face.

So many second-grade people are not willing to intervene too much, nor do they want to know so clearly. They have their own things to do and are not in the mood to waste a lot of time on curiosity.

This is also the point that makes people afraid of the demon.

Because, in theory, the demon exists in all history. He is literally "involved in everything", the ultimate troublemaker, and the only designated scapegoat.

No matter what historical secrets are, the demon is likely to be nearby, existing as the demonic thoughts of a witness.

But after so many things, he is still alive and kicking, and no one can cure him, which shows his value.

After Li Qi left here, he went to the next place.

The matter concerns the "heaven", so it is naturally impossible to involve only the demon family.

The next time, Li Qi appeared next to "Haotian".

Then, Li Qi could see that under the protection of the sky, Haotian glanced at him.

But Haotian did not do anything. He spent every second calmly as always, and hardly interfered with the outside world. He just watched.

But Li Qi had already seen it.

Haotian, a time and space of his own, Haotian's "quietly watching" was really quiet, so quiet that he almost did not cause any disturbance to the outside world.

Normally, even the eyes of mortals will cause disturbances. After all, the so-called "disturbance" and "observation" are essentially the same.

When you look at something with your eyes, the photons have actually touched this thing. If you want to perceive something, you have to touch this thing. This contact is the disturbance itself.

But Haotian's observation is different. Li Qi doesn't know how he did it, but he seems to be a "unilateral" observation. He can see all living beings, but all living beings will not be disturbed by it, not even the reflection of photons.

But this existence makes Li Qi aware of another special power.

Haotian, is it called "sky" because of its independence? Li Qi couldn't be sure

But after he saw these, Cang Tian took Li Qi away again and went to the past history.

This time, he came to the side of the Buddhist "heaven".

Here, you can see the giant wheel turning, and many "heaven" are running here. Most of the Bodhisattvas in Buddhism have their own "heaven". There is a tradition of opening up the heavens within Buddhism, so there are especially many "heaven" here.

But Li Qi can see at a glance that these "heaven" are actually the same as his own heavens, or even far inferior.

These heavens are a kind of clumsy imitation, and their essence is for "independence".

Just like Haotian's independence.

Although these heavens still cannot completely get rid of the outside world, they all express the same attempt, that is, "getting out of the world".

This is also the style of Buddhism all the time, or...is it an attempt of the Buddha?

The formless realm seems to be the common goal of these Buddhist heavens, an attempt not to be contaminated by anything. The ultimate goal of these heavens is to develop from the color realm to the formless realm, and stay as far away from the desire realm as possible.

The Desire Realm is almost the complete opposite of the Formless Realm.

After reading this, Cangtian took Li Qi to the Daoist ‘Daluo Heaven’.

In Daluo Heaven, Li Qi saw similar things.

The heavens here are Xuwu Yueheng Heaven, Taiji Mengyi Heaven, Chiming Heyang Heaven, Xuanming Gonghua Heaven, Yaoming Zong Piaotian, Zhuluo Huangjia Heaven, Xumingtang Yaotian, Yuanzai Kongshengtian.

These are also the Daoist heavens, which are no different from the Buddhist heavens in nature, but what they pursue is not the ‘formless heaven’, but another kind of ‘transcendence’.

It is free and unrestrained, completely detached from all the worldly affairs, free to come and go from all things, and completely free from all constraints. This is the purpose of the creation of these ‘heavens’.

Cangtian quickly took Li Qi away from Daluo Heaven.

This time, he did not look at anything else, but returned to the original place.

In the original place, Cangtian was not idle either.

He showed his own characteristics. Although he was not the Dharmakaya, he also contained some of his power.

He did not hide it. After all, Li Qi was also a witch, so this was a benefit.

Here, Li Qi could see "emptiness" and "loftiness".

This is actually similar to Haotian. These heavens have a common characteristic, that is, the higher their grade, the farther away from the world.

The sky itself is high above.

So, the so-called "sky" is actually the same as Li Qi's initial view, which is "independent time and space".

So... that is to see how independent these time and space are?

If there is really a "sky" that is completely independent and reaches the transcendent state, it becomes a place that cannot be observed, cannot be imagined, and even cannot be aware of existence, then...

Thinking about this, Li Qi asked: "It seems that there is still one missing, where is Xiantian?"

"Xiantian can't take you there for the time being. To be precise, the Xiantian you are familiar with is dead." Cangtian responded.

"Ah? Why?" Li Qi was stunned.

"Aren't you involved? And why? When you led Xiantian out, you destined his personality to be annihilated. Otherwise, do you think it would be so easy to get the Desire Realm in your hands?" Cangtian replied.

Li Qi was speechless and sighed.

I didn't kill Xiantian, but Xiantian died because of me.

However... it seems that there is no way. He is being stared at by many first-class people. I guess this ending is doomed. Xiantian's previous cautiousness was for safety, but his identity has destined him to have no safety at all.

This is only a dozen minutes of "observation", but it is much clearer than Li Qi's closed-door work for billions of years.

Researching theories for 10,000 years and deducing the appearance of various microscopic particles is not as good as using a particle collider to see what it looks like with your own eyes.

With the help of Cangtian, Li Qi came into contact with things he had never come into contact with before.

So, he began to summarize.

He changed into Zizai Tian. After the birth of Tianmo, he almost didn't use this name to call Tianmo, because Tianmo is not a sky, but a demon. Tianmo itself has a strong desire to interfere with the outside world.

Haotian's independence also shows a certain characteristic of "separation", and the lofty height of Cangtian is more obvious.

Cangtian and Haotian are both independent "heaven".

And the Buddha's heavens seem to be imitating the nature of Haotian and Cangtian, all of which are attempts to break away from the causal network.

Taoism also has heavens,

that is, the "emptiness" of Buddhism, the "freedom" pursued by Taoism, the "loftiness" of Cangtian and the "independence" of Haotian.

"So... heaven is actually a part of the attempt to pursue transcendence? And the powerful with the suffix "heaven" is the embodiment of this attempt? The reason why the suffix of Tianmo's name is not "heaven" but "demon" is because he does not mean transcendence."

"So, do the heavens I opened up also have to start from this aspect? Or, do we not have to take this path?" Li Qi said to himself, and at the same time, the myriad heavens he opened up appeared in his hand.

It turns out that the heavens were born in this way.

It is a new thing created to break away from the existing rules.

So... is Haotian the same? Shouldn't Haotian be the first one to appear independently in the real universe? Why is he also detaching?

Wait a minute.

If Haotian is like this, then doesn't that mean——!

Li Qi immediately looked at Cangtian: "Is detachment... the best choice?"

Cangtian was a little surprised, but he still replied: "It seems that you understand very quickly, but of course not. Whether you are detached or not is not that important. To be honest, no one wants the so-called "detachment". After all, there is no difference between that and death."

"What we want is not detachment."

"Heaven, you don't want detachment, but what you do is what detachment wants to do. Then, what is the heaven that I opened and created?" Li Qi was a little puzzled.

He looked at the Ten Thousand Heavens that belonged to him and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

What exactly is it?

Heaven, high above, seems to be detached from the real universe, or even exists alone. All the powerful people named after heaven are like this, but Cangtian said that detachment is not their goal.

Aren't the 'emptiness' of Buddhism and the 'freedom' of Taoism transcendence?

These two should not be false, right?

Then what is Cang Tian pursuing? Tianmo gave up the practice of transcendence, so he lost 'heaven', causing the desire world to break away from his body and become something similar to the remains. What did he get in return?

Li Qi didn't quite understand.

Cang Tian should know the answer, but this answer cannot be told to Li Qi by Cang Tian, ​​because that would only create another Cang Tian.

He can take Li Qi to see, to experience, and protect him from harassment in dangerous places, but he can't give the answer on behalf of Li Qi.

So, Cang Tian left.

After Li Qi noticed Cang Tian's departure, he also chose to leave, but did not return to Xuanjing Mountain.

He couldn't think well if he returned to Xuanjing Mountain, so he planned to find a secluded place at random.

So, he almost randomly selected a planet outside the domain, and then appeared on a mountain on this planet.

This is a wandering planet without life, without its own sun, and without any vitality. The mountain-building movement has almost stopped, the core has solidified, the geothermal heat has disappeared, the planet has stopped rotating, and the gravity is not enough to collapse the planet into a black hole, but the planet itself has no movement.

The surface temperature is close to the temperature of a vacuum, which is almost a little more than absolute zero. Because its core has solidified, there is naturally no magnetic field, the ocean has evaporated, and the atmosphere has disappeared.

This is a dead planet, a big rock floating in space, without any light. If there is no accident, it will float like this until it disappears.

This is actually a state of "possibility convergence". If there is no external interference, it will continue without change for an unknown period of time.

Li Qi began his own thinking in this place.

On the dark planet, Li Qi began an endless retreat alone.

He began to assume various situations.

Through his understanding of everything, he traversed the results of each "idea" in an exhaustive way.

This is a very simple method, but it is very difficult to do.

Because it is nonsense to speculate on the thoughts and goals of the first-class people. Li Qi actually has no ideas at all. He just uses this method to get as close to the thoughts of the first-class people as possible.

This thinking continues.

Time slowly passes.

This planet has encountered many things.

It was captured by the gravity of a certain galaxy, and then broke into the nebula. The surface was blown by the solar wind and interstellar dust. The surface was polished smooth for hundreds of millions of years, but it was eventually pushed back into space.

It was once landed by some civilizations, but they found that there was nothing here. There were only some ordinary minerals in the universe, and there were no precious civilizations and organic matter, so it was quickly abandoned and no in-depth exploration was carried out.

It almost fell into a certain Guixu, but in the end, because of luck, it was thrown around on the gravitational line and finally accelerated to other places.

The most thrilling one was during an interstellar war, when a gamma-ray burst was detonated by a certain civilization, and turned into a stellar sword energy and rushed towards the hostile civilization, ready to blow up the other party's mothership.

This gamma-ray burst brushed past the planet, and the distance at that time was less than eight light minutes, which can be said to be close to the face, but still did not hit it.

In this way, this planet just drifted, like many cosmic garbage, living a seemingly boring and thrilling journey.

Until one day.

Something earth-shattering happened on this planet.

A huge shout came from this planet:

"So that's it!"
