Chapter 1057 Faith
Li Qi is fighting.
All creatures have died because of this battle.
Of course, some powerful people may say that this is actually false, but in fact... how can what the heart feels be false?
For sentient beings, they have not been enlightened, have not eliminated their ego, and have not seen their true nature, so of course all experiences are real. They will still suffer when they should, and they will experience everything they should experience, and there is no falsehood at all.
Before attaining the Tao and gaining reality, no one can escape all kinds of troubles and pains. Pretending to be empty and pretending to see through will reveal their true colors. The so-called time is short, like saving a head from a fire, is just like this.
In this case, the sacrifice has been made, so there is no retreat.
So he is focused, no matter what he pays, he can't give up at this time, bet everything, even if he dies, he can't stop at this juncture.
The devil prince obviously thinks so.
Although things have developed to this point, there are many unexpected situations, many things that are not in the plan, and even starting the decisive battle now is purely an accident.
They were not prepared to fight the final battle with the demon at this time at the beginning. They were forced to go up by Amitabha.
But since they have come up, they will not leave.
Let's fight to the end.
And Li Qi is particularly determined about this.
Because Li Qi will not accept the illusion of the demon.
The demon always makes others think that the world where only he exists is real.
Li Qi knows that it is one of the common forms of escape for fragile people.
When life is too harsh, some people tend to use this fantasy to escape reality.
They convince themselves that all this is fictional, just a huge prank.
The demon can always catch the fragile seeds, just push them, and let sentient beings defeat themselves. The harsher life is for them, the more the demon persuades them to believe that the universe is a scam.
But the universe is not a scam.
This universe is real.
Sentient beings and the way they pursue are the truth of the universe, just like the answer Li Qi got before.
The development of the world is the result of the mutual interference of sentient beings.
All things, all living beings, everything, are shaped by everyone. The birth of cause and condition, the changes between living beings, and thus, this world was born.
Higher wisdom itself, the "heart" of living beings itself, is a component of objective reality, which is beyond subjective consciousness itself.
Arrange the "realities" one by one, and you will see all the "real" activities in the universe, that is, depicting the history of the universe, the present of the universe, and the future of the universe.
The demon wants to decide everything by his own will, and Li Qi will not accept it. This is the dispute between him and the demon.
Li Qi wants to fight for a "freedom" for this universe.
What freedom?
The freedom of choice.
This will be Li Qi's gift to the universe he cares about, the most precious gift of this universe.
A power of choice!
Living beings are not false, even if they are humble, they can choose their own possibilities.
Since the beginning, when Li Qi mastered reality, he has been trapped by this answer.
And now, he has never been so firm.
He firmly believes that his answer is right.
This is his answer, his final interpretation of this world.
There is no ultimate in the ten thousand ways. Perhaps all living beings will always be on the road of chasing the way, but that is also exciting enough.
This answer gave Li Qi an extremely firm belief.
As long as he firmly believes in this, Li Qi will not retreat.
However, the Demon Prince suddenly said at this time: "You will be very tired if you take everything seriously."
"Who in this world is not tired? Even the witch god, or even Haotian, aren't they tired?" Li Qi smiled: "Instead of carrying all living beings alone, it is better to let all living beings walk on their own, giving them freedom and choice, and not worrying so much."
"Then I can't stop this one, you come?" The Demon Prince said.
"What? Oh, the retribution of black karma." Li Qi took a look and understood what the Demon Prince meant.
The retribution of black karma in the serious form of the Heavenly Demon, which is countless times more terrifying than before, came.
If everything is regarded as false, then the retribution of black karma will not have such a good effect on him.
But if everything is regarded as real, and the hearts of all living beings are regarded as one of the reasons for the existence of the world, then the repression brought by the retribution of black karma will increase countless times.
As for the Demon Prince, it seems that he can no longer suppress so many evil thoughts.
"Okay, then I'll do it."
Li Qi smiled and accepted the retribution of the black karma from this wave of demons.
It's nothing more than fighting against the enemy with a general and covering the water with earth.
They have been fighting with the demons for so long, and they have to resist countless means every second. The retribution of black karma is just one of them, and it is nothing strange.
At this moment, Li Qi was involved in the black karma.
The reincarnation in endless time began, and he will accept the erosion of thoughts in units of trillions of years.
Life and death are long, immeasurable, and have no boundaries.
There is a big stone mountain, one yojana in length and width, and one yojana in height. Someone with a long robe and big sleeves comes here for a hundred years and brushes it, and the stone mountain is worn away, which is a catastrophe. Repeating this countless kotis of nayutas hundreds of thousands of times is a "black karma", which is a hell without interval.
However, Li Qi is now at the second level, and his mental tenacity is not comparable to that of the demon prince at the fourth level. Although the devil's retribution of black karma in his serious state can easily destroy the sanity of the third level, for the current second level Li Qilai is still able to resist.
The outside world lasts only a moment.
Inside, Li Qi has experienced reincarnation for who knows how many years.
His entire consciousness was washed away by time, trying to close every thinking circuit, wipe out every memory, and destroy every smallest thought pattern established since birth.
When these patterns are cleared, it forces a release of its energy, and the entire body becomes a chaotic whirlpool.
But these so-called pains are not the terrible thing about destruction. There is only one thing terrible about it: the mind is never confused. When consciousness is erased, the mind can feel itself slowly retreating into death, until it finally disappears and awaits rebirth, the mind saying goodbye as if mourning in an endless funeral.
It wasn't until the Dashi Mountain was destroyed and all the mustard seeds in the Iron Prison were picked up, and Li Qi was in a daze, that he finally felt a sentence during the interval of the black karma's retribution.
"If you are reading this sentence you have been in a coma for twenty years. We are using the latest treatment methods. We don't know where this sentence will appear in your dream, but if you see it..."
Li Qi chuckled: "Hey, Demon, why are you using such unsavory methods now? Do you really think I'm lost?"
"Huh? You have completely experienced the retribution of black karma, but you still maintain your thinking ability? You are better than Shang Fan." The demon's voice sounded in Li Qi's mind.
"Shang Fan accepted your trick when he was in the fourth level. I definitely couldn't withstand it when I was in the fourth level." Li Qi stretched out: "But now, I'm not that fragile. If you have any tricks, just use them. Well, otherwise when I wake up from my black karma, it will be my turn to take action."
"You are so confident. You are different from before." Tianmo said.
Li Qi has indeed changed a lot now.
Because he has found his own way to interpret the world. After so many years of experience, he has made his own judgment on the foundation of the world.
Some people may disagree, but that doesn't matter. This is Li Qi's own answer.
There is more to life than simply living. Then find it out yourself.
Don’t let the world stop just because you have questions.
The demon looked at Li Qi and finally asked: "So, what is your purpose?"
Li Qi was relieved.
He suddenly smiled with relief and laughed loudly.
The hahaha laughter lasted for more than ten seconds, which was already very long. It could even be said to be a huge flaw, but the demon did not take the opportunity to attack.
"Demon, I finally let you see through it, right?" Li Qi asked.
"Indeed, this is...a great progress. Can you become the next World Honored One? Can you be another proof of my existence?" The demon said to Li Qi.
Li Qi suppressed his smile and pulled the Black Karma's Retribution off his body: "Let's not talk about those things for now. What I can tell you is my purpose."
Li Qi said to the demon solemnly, word for word.
Of course, he can conceal his purpose and use all kinds of tricks just like Tianmo or Wu Xian.
However, although Li Qi does not hate tricks, in this matter, he wants to be like humanity, state his purpose and ultimate goal in a grand manner, and rush towards that goal in front of everyone .
In the face of such frankness, Tianmo realized what he had always wanted to pursue.
Yes, that's it.
The demon wants another Blessed One.
And now, Li Qizhan has shown such characteristics.
Therefore, the demon even stopped. He revealed his true nature and listened carefully to the voice of his inaudible heart.
Yes, Li Qi and the Demon Prince's voices were blocked by the Colorless Realm, so he couldn't hear them.
But Li Qi still wanted to speak out.
This answer, for Tianmo, is to hear the inner voice that was originally inaudible.
Therefore, he pays special attention to it.
Li Qize paid more attention to it.
He tore open the retribution of black karma and stated his goal firmly: "I want to return life and death to all living beings."
"All living beings are not you, demon. All living beings have their own paths. The roads of all heavens and worlds can only be walked by living beings themselves, not by you. They have their own beliefs."
The devil asked: "Belief? What do you believe in?"
"Yes, what do you believe in? You have to ask yourself. Yes, this is what I want to give them. This is the gift I want to give to all living beings. They can choose what they believe in."
The demon smiled and said: "They can't bear this great gift."
"They can afford it. There must be something worth believing in in this world, and they will definitely find it, instead of pinning everything on you."
Li Qi was willing to believe in this, he firmly believed it.
This power turned all his thoughts into reality, so the random purpose became clear and the path emerged before his eyes.
The things that all sentient beings pursue, their Tao, are just like this in their hearts.
All Li Qi had to do was get rid of one wrong answer.
Get rid of the wrong answer Tianmo.
The journey will be much smoother.
Just like he said at the beginning.
He wants these sentient beings not to be disturbed by demons.
The demon heard Li Qi's answer and looked at the demon prince.
"Li Qi gave me a good answer, so what about you?"
"Me? I'm not that complicated, I just want you to die." The Demon Prince replied casually.
The demon smiled.
"Okay, okay, one has all sentient beings in mind, the other only has eyes for himself, one is for the righteousness of the common people, and the other is out of personal anger. You two are completely different, you can even say they are complete opposites, but you still come together Come together and use your own methods to cause trouble for me."
Li Qi and the Demon Prince are indeed completely opposite personalities.
Li Qi was calm and cautious, even a little timid.
The Demon Prince is brave and arrogant, reaching the point of recklessness.
But at this time, their goals are so consistent that they have shown completely opposite traits several times.
But that doesn't matter anymore.
Li Qi is about to escape from the retribution of black karma.
This time.
"It's not that easy." The demon said: "You just used the colorless world to cover the demonic thoughts. It doesn't mean that you don't have the demonic thoughts. You just became... another person's fantasy. "
The Demon looked at Li Qi and Prince Demon in front of him.
In this world, there is only one person who is equal to the devil.
That is 'another thought', this other thought entity in the universe where only the devil himself exists. He is the Blessed One Tathagata.
The World Honored Tathagata has no demonic thoughts, because he is not the fantasy of the demons.
And now, Li Qi and the Demon Prince, whose demon thoughts have been obscured, are also each other's fantasies. This is a war between two ideological entities, and the Demon Prince and Li Qi are just external manifestations.
The demon looked towards the colorless realm sky.
In the final analysis, he is still fighting with the Blessed One.
Li Qi and the Demon Prince are nothing but illusions, just a secondary manifestation of a real ideological entity.
The two second-grade people can repeatedly create miracles, not because of how powerful the second-grade people are or how talented they are, but because they are manifestations of the World Honored Tathagata.
He has been fighting against Tathagata all the time, and Li Qi and the Demon Prince are just pawns.
To conquer the Blessed One Tathagata, fully realize the second thought entity, and realize the existence beyond this world, this is the goal of the demons.
While thinking this, the power of the demon had once again overwhelmed Li Qi and the demon prince.
Just as the devil said.
Want to get out of the black industry? It's not that easy to go.
However, this moment!
The fairy suddenly fell from the sky! Smash the demon away.
Li Qi escaped from the trap.
"Wuxian!" The demon glared at the sky.
