Myriad Paths

Li Qi walked on the streets of this underground city.

It is not quite right to call it a street, it should be called a ‘pipeline’.

This is a narrow pipe that can only accommodate two people, and it is full of terrible noise and severe claustrophobic environment, but it is not dark, and there is plenty of light and fresh air here.

Walking and living here is like living in an ant hole. You can come to one ‘block’ after another through this narrow pipe, and these ‘blocks’ are strange buildings.

These buildings may be energy institutions, food factories, or the ‘dormitories’ where hundreds of thousands of people sleep in a box, or some cultivation cave, some air purifier, wastewater treatment plant, etc.

After all, this place is actually very technologically advanced.

Nearly unlimited energy, plus the industrial capacity to feed countless billions of people, this is no joke.

Moreover, it is called the ‘City of Dreams’, but in fact it is not very peaceful here.

Li Qi walked through the pipes and could hardly see any "scenery". Even if the large air purifiers and various wastewater treatments made the environment "tolerable" and not to the point of killing people quickly, it still could not change the depressing atmosphere here.

However, there is one good thing.

The lives from all over the universe are all outstanding people in the local world. They come to the world to pray for a chance to stand out.

They can tolerate the chicken coop before sleeping, but the reason is that everyone... no, it should be said that most people must believe that they can get to a higher level.

The reason why not everyone is because there are always people who are defeated by setbacks.

But on the whole, most people are very energetic along the way that Li Qi walked.

Moreover, Li Qi also found some "star gates".

It is said to be a star gate, but it is actually something like "constellations" or "golden platform", which can quickly transport people from outside the domain to the world.

The human golden platform will handle countless goods every day. These materials sent from outside the domain support countless mortals in the human world. They can buy rare treasures from a world millions of light years away in the supermarket next to their homes.

The locals can't eat it, but the human world can buy it cheaply.

There is a typical example, a crystallization of the entire world of a ninth-grade world, such as the typical "world tree fruit". In an entire ninth-grade world, billions of people spend hundreds of years to produce only one precious fruit. The local natives can fight for this fruit and even start a world war for it.

However, this kind of thing, in the supermarket downstairs of the human world, is two yuan per catty, and five yuan for three catties.

There is no other reason, it's just the ninth-grade world, there are too many, it's too troublesome to harvest, and generally the lower-level world takes the initiative to pick it.

This "dream city" is similar in terms of products.

Things like the world tree fruit, although not five yuan for three catties, can also be bought with half a month's income.

This situation is simply a miracle for these mortals who have just come to the world, and this is also the beginning of their "dream".

The world can even do this kind of thing.

Then, aren't their opportunities endless?

As long as you work hard, as long as you struggle here, then when you leave here and return to the outside world, you will naturally become a superior person and become an existence admired by countless people!

So, as far as Li Qi saw, the surface areas of the dozens of planets around were generally like this.

"The means of the devil are much better than imagined." Li Qi thought so, and passed through a pipe and came to a relatively large cave.

This is also a typical "block", the outer wall is wrapped in alloy, and the building inside is also a regular rectangle.

This is the largest "cave" nearby, because this is the only "star gate" within the area of ​​dozens of planets.

Of course, for the entire giant building, this is just a very small ordinary star gate, but it is already the largest building nearby.

Every moment, countless people are sent to this place.

However, they are not "walking over".

"Oh... packed like this and sent here, this is really..." Li Qi sighed.

What he saw was that what was sent here was not people at all, but caves.

All people and lives are packed in the caves.

As a cave that can carry life, it is difficult to travel directly within the world under normal circumstances. It is easy to be smashed by the world barrier, and everything inside will not fall, unless it can form its own space to maintain its own existence.

However, the space of the world is very solid, so there is no such concern. Here, whether it is a cave or a small world, the world can easily carry it.

But the problem is that such a cave, one cave, and hundreds of millions of people are transported here at any time, so... how to put it down?

It is easy to put it in, but where to put it when you want to put it out?

Li Qi was a little puzzled, so he decided to ask directly.

He broke away from the state of being integrated into nature, and then walked forward and walked in front of one of the transporters.

It was an eighth-grade humanoid creature, taller than ordinary humans. He held a cave and walked out of the star gate carefully.

The reason for choosing him was that Li Qi scanned the circle and found that this person was the most honest with his mind-reading ability.

It's more comfortable to deal with honest people, otherwise it would be quite annoying to see a few eighth-level people jumping around and playing tricks on themselves, especially since Li Qi is not in a good mood right now.

He walked up to this eighth-level man, released his breath a little, and only targeted the other person to exert pressure.

The humanoid creature immediately trembled.

At this moment, he seemed to see the universe unfolding in front of him.

A new ‘reality’.

A terrifying world beyond words, with completely different world laws.

At this moment, his mind and body seemed to be destroyed and then reorganized.

Then, suddenly, it all disappeared, leaving him alone.

The world around them is also isolated.

An 'independent' space appears here.

Of course, there is no independence in fact. Space is essentially just a display of material movement and cannot exist independently. The surrounding directions are just folded.

The direction of space shows the complexity of space. Now the space here has a different complexity from the space outside, so it is naturally isolated. No matter whether it is light or anything, it is impossible to come here because there is no way to here. 'direction'.

"Immortal, great..., god, great... uh——" This eighth-level humanoid opened his mouth and seemed to have thought of a lot of honorifics, but in the end he couldn't shout them out.

All he knew was that the existence before him was beyond his imagination.

Disaster?

Adventure?

He didn't know, he only knew that he had encountered something big. Life, death, wealth, everything depended on a thread.

"Just call me senior. On the road of cultivation, there is a hierarchy of learning and no one is high or low, so there is no need to be polite." Li Qi said casually: "I have something to ask you."

"Senior, please ask." The other party immediately said in very proficient 'Tianxia dialect'.

It seems that he has done a lot of homework in order to come to the world and get ahead in this dream city.

Li Qi could have directly read the other party's surface thoughts, but Li Qi found that the other party's surface thoughts were so confusing that he couldn't understand them at all. Now this man was completely panicked in front of Li Qi, and he didn't even know what he was thinking. What, Li Qi naturally couldn't see anything useful.

Li Qi could directly forcibly search the soul to read the deep memory, or use magic means to hypnotize him, but he is unwilling to do so now.

If you can speak well, then speak well. I'm not a big villain, so why bother doing that? I'm just asking about the situation, there's no need to be like that.

"I know your purpose of coming here. I just want to ask, how did these billions of people in your arms come from?" Li Qi asked.

Hearing this question, the eighth-level humanoid in front of him was shocked at first, and then immediately realized that he should answer first, so he said: "Huh? This? Oh, senior, these are all my people."

"Your tribe? Oh, you moved the whole world here?" Li Qi asked.

"Well, this is the world, the pinnacle of all heavens and worlds. I never dreamed of being able to come to such a place. So when I have this opportunity, as the Lord of the world, I can't let it go. I can only move the whole clan. Come here, maybe you can take root here in the future and become a local in the world!" he said.

"...This is difficult. Has anyone told you?" Li Qi asked.

"This is naturally very difficult, and it may never be possible, but the thing in this world is not to be afraid of difficulty, but to be afraid of the lack of opportunities and impossibility. Now that an opportunity is in front of you, how can you not seize it firmly? ?" He said firmly immediately.

"However, you should know that things are not that good. When you come here, your clan may be exterminated anytime and anywhere. It is safer to stay outside the territory." Li Qi said.

"Senior...you don't know something about this. It may be a little offensive to say it...but senior is very powerful, and he is probably a native of the world-"

"I'm not a native of Tianxia." Li Qi interrupted: "You continue."

"No?" The man was surprised for a moment, and then he obviously relaxed and became much kinder to Li Qi, not as awed as before.

It seemed that compared to Li Qi's 'strength', what he was more afraid of was his identity as a 'man of the world'.

He seems to have an... indescribable yearning for this identity.

"It turns out that we are all from outside the region, so senior is also new here?" He immediately became familiar with each other.

"I've been here...it's been a while. This is my first time here. I happened to see you guys walking out of the star gate in a group. I was a little confused, so I came to ask you." Li Qi said.

The other party nodded slightly: "I see, then I understand. Senior probably doesn't know that it's not very peaceful outside the territory recently, right?"

"Well... I do know that they are fighting, right?" Li Qi said.

"It turns out that senior knows, so why would senior ask such a question? If you stay outside the territory, you will suddenly die one day without knowing it. What's the difference between staying in the world? Not to mention, there are opportunities here." He So said.

Li Qi could hear that there was hope in the other person's voice, which was full of vitality and youthful vigor.

This is the ‘City of Dreams’. Even if it is as rotten as a cesspit, people who come here think that there is hope here and that they can pursue what they want here.

"Is this so? That's true. I don't know why I live outside the territory, and I don't know why I die. It's better to come here and give it a try." Li Qi nodded.

"That's the reason. Senior came to the world for this reason, right?" asked the eighth-grade man.

"No, I came here accidentally. I don't know how I came here." Li Qi said.

The other party immediately looked at Li Qi with envy: "That's really... good luck."

"Good luck? Maybe." Li Qi said casually, and then asked: "But... you came to the world, but the world is also divided into many regions. Do you know where this place is?"

"As for the devil, I know that if you come here, you will definitely have a narrow escape from death, but... there are billions of us. Even if you have a narrow escape from death, there will always be some people who can stay." said the eighth-grade person.

"That's true. Then I have one last question. Where did you learn about the existence of this city? Star gates shouldn't be everywhere, right?" Li Qi asked.

"Coincidence, or...luck. Sometimes, the star gate will suddenly open in my own world. This is also a legend outside the territory. I didn't expect that I would encounter it, but since I have encountered it, I can't let it go. Passed." The eighth-grade man said.

"That's it. Thank you very much. Just accept this as a gift from me." Li Qi said, taking out a pill in his hand.

It's just an ordinary longevity pill, Li Qi rubbed it with his hands a second ago.

"You are still in the eighth level and cannot live forever. This medicine is just right for you. This medicine can extend your life for a hundred years and has no other side effects. However, it can only take effect once. Just treat it as a reward for asking questions." After Li Qi finished speaking, Disappeared in place, and the pill had fallen into the opponent's pocket.

Li Qi disappeared, and the other party was panicked.

He was unable to notice any fluctuations in Li Qi's cultivation from the beginning to the end. It was really amazing. He was already the strongest in his own world, but here, there were people everywhere who were stronger than him.

Sure enough, this is the world!

There was a surge of ambition in his heart!

Thinking of these, he stepped out of the Star Gate, and together with other people from different worlds, headed towards this 'City of Dreams' and towards his own future.

However, he didn't know that Li Qi had already left a mark on his body.

Li Qi wanted to take a look.

How did these people pursue their dreams, and what happened to them in the end.

Then with the help of these, he can speculate on the devil's policy here, and then judge Li Shiwei's situation.
