Myriad Paths

In the endless void, the realm of fantasy reality.

Li Qi came here again.

As one of the wonders outside the territory, this place has great strategic significance, so there is a dedicated third-grade defense here to maintain the neutrality of this place.

And this third level is the Great Witch of Yunfang.

Li Qi came here again to visit the Great Witch of Yunfang, hoping to get the wise guidance of his elders.

Li Qi came to the platform of Yunfang Great Witch.

As soon as he arrived, the scenery around him started to change. After the change, he had already sat in front of the great wizard Yun Fang.

But I saw that the surrounding white clouds were clearing, birds were chasing each other, there were patches of green shade, and there were waterfalls on the top. It was graceful and elegant. Under this beautiful scenery, there was a table with some snacks and tea on it.

"Why did you come to me again? Have you encountered something? I heard that you seem to be guarding Baiyue." The great wizard Yunfang was still so gentle. He invited Li Qi to sit down and poured him a cup of tea.

The fragrance of tea is overflowing, and there is a Taoist charm in it. Just by smelling it, you can tell that it is not cheap. Even in the ordinary fifth-grade world, if you drink a cup, you will probably get the Taoist charm, and suddenly you will have some kind of golden finger, and then you will reach the pinnacle of life. .

Dao Yun is such a wonderful thing, capable of possessing various abilities. Every minute in the world, people get 'adventures', and most of them are due to certain Dao Yun.

But for Li Qi, ordinary Taoist charm is no longer effective, and his own magical power is enough to transcend cause and effect.

However, knowing rhyme is still very important to him, and it is still difficult to get rid of this dependence.

There is no way to verify the origin of true knowledge, but this thing is really useful. I don’t know where it was removed from.

Facing Senior Yun Fang's inquiry, Li Qi first saluted, then sat down and sighed: "We have already defended it. It's just a pity that I gave up the Holy Emperor's ruins."

"Is it to win, or what?" Great Witch Yunfang asked.

"In order for Baiyue to defeat its own history, of course, after doing this, I also won." Li Qi replied.

"It's a good thing. I also want to take care of Baiyue's affairs, but the Holy Emperor's ruins are very important. I don't know how to start, so I put it off like this. Now you have the courage to take advantage of the human-witch war to take the Holy Emperor to task. If you give up the ruins, no one will cause trouble for you, and it will also free Baiyue. Although it seems like a loss, in the long run, this will be better, at least... it will be better for Baiyue. "Yunfang Great Witch. So commented.

Li Qi smiled, this reaction was indeed in line with the senior's character.

However, it cannot be said that the Holy Emperor's ruins must have their own importance, otherwise it would not have caused all the great witches to take action. But now that the Holy Emperor's ruins have been dealt with through the great event of the Human-Witch War, no one has Can gossip.

Asking is to follow the authority when the matter is urgent, there is no other way.

"According to what the senior said, are there still people who advocate leaving ruins and then destroying Baiyue?" Li Qi asked.

"Of course there is, witchcraft and Taoism are inclusive, and they believe that everything in the world has its own reasons. It is normal to have different opinions, but it doesn't make sense to say this. Birds of a feather flock together, and people are divided into groups. I don't think I can see them at ordinary times. Or Let’s talk about business, you must have something to come to me for, right?” Great Witch Yunfang asked.

"There is indeed something...Senior, please listen to me slowly." Li Qi said, waving a light curtain in his hand.

Then, Li Qi began to tell the details of the matter.

From Shi Yan's prophecy at the beginning, to the sixty-year cold war, to the final decisive battle, and how Li Qi gave up the Holy Emperor's ruins.

Finally, he told about Li Shiwei.

After hearing the news that Li Shiwei was possessed by a demon, Great Witch Yunfang changed his expression obviously and stopped talking about the tea he had been drinking.

After Li Qi finished saying everything, he finally sighed: "Alas... the devil's way."

"Senior, I came here just to ask how to deal with this kind of thing... She was not bewitched by others, but made her own choice. I'm afraid it's hard for me to understand when I talk to her now." Li Qi sighed. road.

At this time, Great Witch Yunfang suddenly said: "It's not necessarily impossible to understand. Although you two, father and daughter, have different ways of doing things, you still have something to say, and it doesn't necessarily make sense."

As he spoke, the great wizard Yunfang explained: "Tao is a natural thing, that is, it requires people to walk before there is a way. But principles are different. One line of principles is universally applicable."

"For example, if we or other traditions preach teachings everywhere, we call it preaching or preaching, but it cannot be said to be preaching or preaching. This is because the Tao is walked by humans, but the principles are not walked by humans."

"The two words 'Tao' and 'Li' are very clearly distinguished. However, the principle is the reason why things are the way they are, so principles should exist before things. For example, one plus one equals two. This is called mathematical theory, but it cannot be said to be a mathematical principle. The way is like an apple falling to the ground. This is a physical thing, not a physical way."

Li Qi nodded slightly, and he naturally understood what the other party meant.

The Tao must be completed. To say "such and such a Tao" must have included some kind of career behavior and activities.

As for reason, it does not require a career, behavior or activity, but already exists, just like mathematics and physics.

Therefore, Tao can be created. The sage of humanity once said: "People can magnify Tao, but Tao does not magnify people."

If there were no human activities and behaviors, there would be no Tao. In short, roads are opened and built by people. People can open and build a road that is convenient for people, so it is said that people can achieve great things. But even if there is this way, if people do not follow this way, it still means that there is no such way, and this way will eventually be destroyed, so it is not a Taoist person.

Although this is for the human way, it can be applied to other ways. After all, it is the words of a saint and has its own profoundness.

But reason is different. Reason is the embodiment of objective things. It does not wait for people to create it, and its initiative does not lie with people.

"Oh... this is a train of thought. Although the Tao is different, the principles are the same, so Shi Wei and I can communicate through the principles instead of having to share the same Tao."

The great wizard Yun Fang said: "Well, you can understand it best, but... it sounds simple, but in fact it is difficult, because although the principles are similar, if you want to communicate, you have to talk about it. You still have to think carefully about the magic way, alas... "

Li Qi knew why the other party sighed, so he changed the topic: "I already understand the teachings of seniors. By the way, I got the magic information in the Fantasy Realm last time. What did seniors gain?"

"Speaking of this, I suddenly remembered." Great Witch Yun Fang put down his tea cup and suddenly took out a compass.

"This thing can detect high-level demons." He said: "I was worried that high-level demon kings would use their own methods of controlling demonic thoughts to monitor them, so after understanding some of the abilities of demons, I did this."

"Bring this with you. As long as the other party doesn't deliberately avoid it, they can probably find it. And if the other party really finds a way to deliberately avoid it...it will actually expose yourself, so it is quite useful."

Li Qi looked at the compass, a little surprised, and said: "Is it also useful for the level of the demon?"

"It's useful." Yun Fang said.

Li Qi took a deep breath, it's impossible! ?

However, before Li Qi woke up from the shock, he heard the great wizard Yun Fang continue to say: "But the devil can make this thing useless."

"In principle, the essence of this thing is the pure soul created by me, which is between consciousness and unconsciousness, just like a cocoon in a butterfly."

Li Qi nodded, he understood.

Sometimes, their words don't need to be so complicated. Everyone's knowledge has reached a certain level, and a symbol may be able to replace a lot of explanation processes.

Of course, the premise is that everyone understands what this symbol means. If not, it will be like looking at a high-level mathematical expression, and you will not even be able to understand the abbreviations inside.

Moreover, if you don’t understand what the symbol means, you will have to explain it, which will take a long time.

Mighty people have a cup of tea and then preach to each other for tens of thousands of years. This is probably the case. If you understand, you can understand it in one sentence, but if you don't understand, you want to explain this whole complicated situation clearly. Everything represented by this symbol is explained clearly to facilitate future communication. It might take tens of thousands of years to complete the lesson.

A simple 'e' in the formula may not be fully understood in one semester, and the more advanced it is, the more so.

Although tens of thousands of years are nothing to them.

Not to mention those things, what Yunfang Dasha means here is that during the process of butterfly pupation, the body of the caterpillar completely disintegrates, melts from the cellular level, and turns into a bag of liquid in the cocoon, and then bit by bit from it Construct the body of the butterfly.

In this process, speaking of life is not life, speaking of death is not death.

Someone once did an experiment in which eight pupae were punched through and then connected in series to keep the fluids in the body flowing to each other, and the fluids in the eight pupae were fused together.

To understand it in a mammalian way, that is to connect eight placentas, smash all the babies inside, and then put them in one placenta.

Mammals must be dead.

But insects can continue to hatch butterflies with all the genetic material and cell fluid mixed together, and they can even maintain relatively independent memories of each other.

It was with the help of this property and the information given by Li Qi that he had an extraordinary understanding of demonic thoughts and cultivated Gu insects that were extremely sensitive to demonic thoughts.

Theoretically, even the devil will be discovered.

Of course, this is actually a different matter, because the prerequisite for this thing to be effective is that its properties will not be changed.

The devil modifies reality just like eating.

But no matter what, this thing is more than enough to detect the third-level demon king.

"What about this thing?" Li Qi looked at Senior Yun Fang, not knowing what he was using this for.

"You just won a game. Generally speaking, there is a period of vacation for you to rest and heal. During this period, you must be worried. Why don't you take this and investigate Shi Wei's background? Maybe you can find some clues. ." Great Witch Yunfang said.

"That makes sense, thank you senior." Li Qi stood up, took the Gu Insect Compass, then turned and left.

But the great wizard Yun Fang suddenly let out a long sigh after Li Qi left.

"Sigh... He is, and now Shi Wei is also... Is it possible that everyone who is close to me, Yun Fang, will be targeted by the devil? Can't even the children I teach escape?"

The gentle old man murmured to himself and looked up at the sky.

In the sky, there is a fantasy realm suspended outside the endless realm, surrounded by countless worlds. Many world-class ships are desperately heading there, hoping to get new development opportunities and new technologies in this extraterrestrial wonder that can benefit their own civilization.

——————————

On the other side, Li Qize began his own investigation.

Shen Shuibi chose to retreat. This time she was in retreat, which meant she locked the door and would never leave until she broke through the fourth level.

However, there is actually no danger. After all, with Rabbit's current understanding and level, the fourth level only needs time to slowly stack up.

In just over a thousand years at most, she would be able to turn all her insights into reality, turn her inspiration into real accumulation, and then be promoted to the fourth level.

Similar to a logarithmic table.

Shen Shuibi has found the law of logarithms, but he still has to work hard to calculate the logarithm table.

When she produced a practical logarithm table, it meant that her retreat was over.

This is complete hard work, which is ninety-nine percent hard work. Of course, it also requires one percent inspiration. Many people are stuck on this one percent, and it is common for them to be stuck for millions of years.

However, she has already completed this 1% of inspiration, and all that is left is hard work, and for the fifth grade, there is no need to say anything about hard work.

Li Qi and his wife each had their own things to do and were temporarily away from the battlefield of human witchcraft, but this did not mean that the war was over.

Trillions of worlds are arranged on a battlefield that stretches for countless light-years, divided into many war zones. Each war zone is guarded by third-level guards. Some of them are fighting in full swing, some are recuperating, and some are with Li Qi. Likewise, both sides suffered heavy losses and were forced to withdraw their troops, allowing the locals to develop on their own.

This war is so grand that any possible scenario will happen somewhere.

For a certain mortal individual, they simply cannot imagine this kind of war, because what they are dealing with is probably just a war in their own world, a world war that is unforgettable, a huge war that can be recorded in the history of civilization, but that It's just an insignificant spark in the prairie fire sweeping across the universe.

However, no matter how blazing the fire is, it is composed of these small sparks.

They are constantly born, then involved in wars, and given death.

Even reincarnation in the underworld has been a lot busy these years.

There are too many deaths in the universe.

So much so that it breaks the balance of life and death.

A quiet, easy to ignore, but extremely powerful death intention spreads out in the universe, covering the entire world.
