Myriad Paths

Avoiding and giving in are absolutely impossible for human nature.

For example, behavior such as hiding one's strength and biding one's time is appropriate for the strategies of many places.

After all, in the face of a powerful enemy, as long as you pretend to be cowardly, dwarf yourself, and kowtow to others, you can deceive your opponent and gain precious breathing time, which is really great.

Throughout the world, there are many examples of successful use of this strategy to turn defeat into victory. Practitioners who make good use of this strategy will most likely be praised and praised for being "hard-working" and "bearing humiliation". As a result, they have avoided many disasters and achieved a great comeback, which has become a good talk for a while.

However, this is not the case for humanity.

Even if Humanity is well versed in history, and has even been in deep trouble on several occasions, such as the great rebellion that Humanity endured thousands of years ago, when both the demon army and the rebels invaded Chang'an, in the end Humanity still had no choice. "Hide your strength and bide your time", on the contrary, you will explode your dragon veins and seek survival in death.

Perhaps a certain humane individual would choose to bow his head temporarily for the sake of final victory, but at the strategic level of humanity, even though they deeply understand the role of bowing their heads, they never bother to use it.

When walking towards the road of 'replacing heaven with man', they certainly know that they have to face many enemies.

First of all, there is the witchcraft. There is no way that the witchcraft will accept their views. In the eyes of the witches and wizards, it is simply ridiculous nonsense.

As for Shinto to be replaced, even if Haotian has never expressed an opinion on this, many high-ranking priests have expressed their disapproval of humane practices.

The Demonic Dao is even more afraid that the world will not be in chaos, not to mention that there are many high-level worlds outside the territory that cannot tolerate humanity.

The road of replacing heaven with man is destined to be bumpy.

However, humanity as a whole, when faced with various severe difficulties and surrounded by tigers and wolves, they always appear upright, crushing their opponents with dignity, and walking past all those who block them with an absolute kingly attitude. Don’t engage in the practice of hiding one’s strength and biding one’s time, keeping one’s head down and playing small.

In this case, if Li Qi went to Humanity's camp alone, Humanity would never stay behind closed doors, even if they knew clearly that Li Qi was here to spy on information.

With this view of humanity in mind, Li Qi did not delay too much. After settling the matter here, leaving a dharma body as the terminal for communication, he immediately headed to the border of human witches, which is the southern border of humanity.

Li Qi arrived at that place almost instantly. The distance is no longer limited by Li Qi.

He can easily travel billions of light years, but the time it takes is incredibly short. Because he has reality, the law of cause and effect no longer applies to him, and he can easily break the speed of light. .

If a creature without reality transcends the limits of heaven and breaks the law of cause and effect, then the existence without reality will directly perish.

Because they cannot survive solely by themselves. If the law of cause and effect is broken, then the 'cause' of his existence will be gone, and he himself will disappear as the 'effect' of his existence, and the whole person will disappear directly.

This means that there is no reality. Mortals rely on their entanglement with this world to exist. But high-level monks who have reality have no other reason for their existence. They only exist because of themselves. They do not need to rely on someone. 'Cause' to sustain itself.

Mortals who do not possess reality rely too much, relying on external physical rules to maintain their own matter, relying on the law of cause and effect to ensure their own existence, relying on the continuity of time and space to ensure the continuity of their actions... and so on.

But for practitioners with reality, these are not needed. They can rely only on themselves.

This is ‘freedom’.

This is a realm that ordinary people without reality cannot understand, and it is also the reason why high-level powerful beings can break various rules of the universe at will.

This difference also makes mortals feel a huge sense of oppression in front of Li Qi... as if they are facing another universe...

Such as this moment.

Li Qi stood at the southern border of humanity.

It is already evening, and the surroundings are dim -

The afterglow of the setting sun scatters dim light and shines on the waterfalls and pools, illuminating the colorful and brilliant rainbow next to the human figure.

These brilliance reflected Li Qi, making his shadow lengthen and appear particularly conspicuous in the sunset.

Li Qi raised his head and looked at Humanity Nanjiang in front of him.

The huge city wall was built on the mountain road, and you can see the army above. The generals are running the army in an orderly manner, and they give orders. The soldiers, the barriers, the flags, the troops are strong and heavy, and they are all in good order. .

The city wall is majestic, thousands of feet high. There are countless formations on it. It is engraved with white tigers and unicorns, Liuyao Hanying, and various monks. Its majesty and appearance are truly unparalleled in the world.

But I saw that the beacon towers on the city wall were all carved from the tops of mountains and rivers, with ridge after ridge and peak after peak. The narrow places were bottomless and the roads were deep.

Such a huge city wall, stretching for hundreds of thousands of miles, is full of magic weapons. If every place is activated, this city wall can even stop Li Qi, but with just one pass, it can easily cut off the mountains, rivers, and even the sky. The wind layer has achieved all the monitoring of water, land and air, and has never crossed the road.

This spectacle is truly rare.

And... you can clearly see the difference between Baiyue and Humanity. Separated by a wall, Baiyue is almost completely deserted, and monsters and others don't dare to live here, so it seems particularly cold and desolate.

But on the other side of the city wall, humanity is as prosperous as ever. The ground is covered with algae, elegant music is abounding, people are harmonious, order is solemn, schools are like forests, trade routes are prosperous, gifts and rewards are intertwined, and the crowd is dense, performing virtues and benevolence. .

However, those are relatively far away, and now the soldiers on the city wall are a little nervous.

The soldiers clenched the weapons in their hands and looked at some of the formations they had mastered. Fear arose in their hearts because the person in front of them... was their formidable enemy this time.

The other party went deep into the enemy camp alone, and even stood in front of the enemy's formation. This approach brought a considerable sense of oppression to ordinary humane soldiers.

At this time, a humane general came out and waved his hand fiercely: "The whole army obeys the order! Form formation!"

Following his order, the soldiers who were still a little trembling before immediately became energetic and immediately took action.

But I saw thousands of troops thundering, and thousands of cavalry in disarray!

The Ge Yuan pierced the clouds, the feathers swept away the neon lights, the flags were raised, the wind broke in the sky, the military energy was blazing, and the entire city wall was activated, spitting flames and wind, drinking wild sprays on the mountains, and the sun The moon shines brightly for it, and the mountains and rivers tremble for it.

However, in Li Qi's view, it was like a wild beast on the roadside, with its teeth bared and its hair standing on end, making a mighty and terrifying look, just to scare away the enemy.

It's a pity that he couldn't scare Li Qi.

Li Qi looked up at the thousands-foot-high city wall in front of him and said softly: "Wishen Mountain... I wish you only one lineage of earth, Li Qi, come and pay me a visit."

Following Li Qi's words, a breath came.

The flags were waving all around, and the soldiers who were summoning up their formations and morale also stopped.

There is no need to put on airs, their backbone, the coach who can compete with Li Qi in front of them is here.

A strong man with a beard fell from the city wall.

He was wearing a suit of bright light armor, his demeanor and actions were extremely calm and steady, and his eyes were resolute.

If Li Qi's previous opponent Liu Junyi was a humble gentleman like a willow branch supporting the wind, with a clean air, then the strong man in front of him was like a high mountain, and would not be shaken by the breeze.

He landed on the ground without making a huge noise, leaving only two footprints.

Then, the general walked over and looked down at Li Qi.

Yes, it was looking down, because he was too tall, more than two meters tall. Li Qi's figure and height were not bad, but compared with him, he looked like a chicken.

Just as Li Qi guessed, Humanity would never choose to shrink his head. Even if the other party knew clearly that Zhen knew Yun's existence, he would stand up directly.

"Young Master Li Qi, I am the Nanfu of the Tang Kingdom, the captain of Zhechong, Qiu Zhi." The other party looked at Li Qi and then introduced him.

The various mansions of the Tang Dynasty of Humanity are the military layout units of Humanity, including Zhennan, Zhenbei, etc., which are roughly similar to military regions and are led by a third-grade 'general'.

Under the general, there are Zhechong captains, whose rank is not necessarily certain. Shangfu is above the fourth rank, Zhongfu is below the fourth rank, Xiafu is below the fifth rank, and Zhennanfu is definitely the 'Shangfu'.

If the opponents Li Qi had collided with before were all other geniuses, then... what Li Qi encountered now was not a genius, but a veteran powerhouse.

Perhaps the opponent was not as talented and brilliant as Liu Junyi or the Demon Prince, but his experienced techniques and steady aura made Li Qi feel the pressure at this moment.

This pressure comes from ‘deduction’.

Just after the other party showed up, Li Qi had almost scanned the other party. Although he didn't dare to say that he understood 100%, he was probably close to ten.

In this case, the strength of the fourth level is enough to deduce the battle. In just an instant, Li Qi has already deduce... or in other words, divined the outcome of hundreds of thousands of wars.

There is no doubt that they are all, the winning rate is 40-60, Li Qiliu.

This extra 'one' is the effect of the Sky Devouring Demon Lord.

Sure enough, the level is about the same.

However, such divination or deduction... is nothing more than a simple prediction and cannot be taken seriously. After all, Li Qi cannot deduce the third-grade person behind him.

So, Li Qi nodded and responded to the other party: "General Zhennan Mansion, are you confronting my teacher? It looks similar... In other words, what we, master and disciple, have to face The whole Zhennan Mansion?”

"The entire Zhennan Mansion? No, not really. The strength of the entire Zhennan Mansion is enough to crush Baiyue. It would be too wasteful to deploy them all to deal with you. This will require the loss of battlefield results outside the territory, which is not cost-effective." Qiu Zhi said.

The consideration of combat power is multi-faceted. It is impossible to invest too much power just for a certain local battlefield. A course of practice.

This is the case now. The witchcraft and humanity are now fighting on four fronts. The war stretches across endless worlds. Trillions of worlds are burned to ashes every minute and every second. In a battle of this intensity, even the fighting strength of both sides is somewhat stretched.

At this moment, if we open another Baiyue battlefield, the amount of force that can be invested is limited. Assuming that the entire Zhennan Mansion is invested, we can indeed crush Li Qi and easily obtain the Holy Emperor's relics, but the battlefield outside the territory may collapse greatly. part.

"Yes, but in this case, things are not that simple. General Qiu Zhi, Baiyue now has more than 300 fifth-grade people, but I think the number of people you have transferred is less than a hundred." Li Qi scanned He glanced at the city wall behind and said so.

"The Lord of the Baiyue Kingdom? They are just a bunch of trash. I have a total of eighty-seven fifth-grade people here. In terms of combat power, they are enough to kill the Lords of the Baiyue Kingdom a hundred times without even causing any casualties." Qiu Zhi said.

This is very rude, but it is true.

Humanity's requirements for "people" are so high that it is simply unimaginable. In many countries outside the region, humanity is called the "country of perfect people" and "Utopia". The reputation of humane people outside the region is quite polarized. .

Although they have a bad attitude, for many people in the world, humanity can be 'absolutely trusted'. Their official documents do not lie, and they always face all challenges with the fullest attitude. Their abilities are surprisingly high, and everyone is' The protagonists are all heroes. Although they may have various personalities, be good at different things, and even have many shortcomings, they are all real people with their own persistence in their hearts.

It can even be said that although they have different personalities, everyone is Paul Korchagin, and they are all steel that has been tempered over time.

Therefore, there are many worlds that are willing to be driven by humanity, hoping to become such a 'perfect person', move closer to them, and believe in the power of humanity.

And humanity is generally friendly to them. Although they are not equal, they are still willing to cultivate their Taoist heart and help them get rid of the "large paramecium" period.

Humanity's extreme style makes their reputation also very extreme. Those who like it think Humanity is an ideal and perfect country, while those who are tortured by Humanity think Humanity is an indifferent and arrogant executioner.

In this kind of personnel selection situation, if the leader of the Baiyue Kingdom goes to war with the opposite party...

One-on-one, one might be able to barely survive, and some might even be able to win if they are stronger.

But if it's ten against ten, you'll be beaten into a pig's head.

Even if it is fifty against ten, there is basically no winning rate at all.

If more than 300 people come together and attack the 80 or so people on the other side, they won't even be able to escape. Everyone will die here, and there may even be no injuries on the other side.

how to say……

Li Qi couldn't refute.

So he decisively changed the subject and said: "But humanity is the attacker. I have set up a copper wall and waited for the general to come and die."

These words made Qiu Zhi laugh. (End of chapter)
