Myriad Paths

The location of the divine way in front of him really opened Li Qi's eyes.

If they didn't know that Shinto Dharmakaya can be projected anywhere, anyone who sees this scene will suspect that they have arrived at a cyberpunk virtual cemetery.

Countless people who have given up on reality are piled together and immersed in the virtual world, ignoring anything outside.

This is the view here.

Li Qi saw many 'temples', almost filling the entire world. As far as his eyes could see, they were all temples. The density was almost as high as those of the buildings in the Demonic Dream City.

It is densely packed with statues of gods.

Just like the 'Pantheon' or the 'Thousand Buddha Pagoda'.

Entering inside, the walls are hollowed out, and then one wall is full of statues of gods. These are all the 'true gods' who are projecting their dharma bodies to the outside. Their golden bodies are placed here, and they are all of the lowest seventh grade, and those of higher grades are not. No.

There are also some powerful people who have the entire temple to themselves.

According to the different characteristics of each god, the decoration of the temple is also different.

Some are green forest rooms, red and purple rooms, with fairies on the left and feather boys on the right, with treasures reflecting in the canopy and feathers mixing in the shade of the courtyard.

Some are pure and empty, with no mirror, discerning the mysterious and mysterious world, keeping themselves calm and peaceful, a little far away from the noisy competition, no attendants, quiet and elegant.

Some of the temples are covered with gold, hundreds of incense candles, gold and silver powder are used to paint the temples, and multi-colored banners are hung. The system is exquisite, and the flags and tassels are engraved with gold, jade and water essences, which is very gorgeous.

Some are crystal palaces at the bottom of the sea, with cold silk curtains, a small boat, and a beautiful woman waving.

Some are just a small wooden house with a wooden sculpture inside, nothing more.

Some are primitive and rough caves with bonfires and various charcoal murals, as well as simple stone shrines.

There are towering palaces, brilliant murals, and golden murals on them. The walls, stained glass windows, and stairs are all carefully carved and decorated. Mighty light bursts out from them, and magnificent magic gathers here. The hanging emblem floats in mid-air, carrying all the glory of the church for thousands of years.

There was also a sea of ​​blood, and many believers could be seen using sharp knives to take out their own hearts. Hundreds of hearts were piled together, and the rotten blood and stinking blood gathered into a ball.

When the knife blade penetrated their flesh, they didn't seem to feel any pain. Instead, they were filled with joy. They just felt that they had realized the meaning of life and could sacrifice themselves to God. What could be happier than this?

There are various kinds of temples, on the mountains, in the water, and in the sky.

Different doctrines, different legends, and different gods themselves constitute many indescribable ecologies here.

This is... the northwest of the world, where the divine way is.

But, these so-called ‘gods’ are actually no different from mortals at all.

The true God does not require faith at all, is eternal and does not need to rely on other things, and these so-called gods are just because they were once individuals of a certain race. They protected their own race, so those races also reciprocated with faith and gradually developed into of various sects.

They need constant sacrifices and faith to stabilize and enhance their power. They seem very formal, but in fact they are far behind the true gods.

Li Qixing was walking among these temples. In fact, he had only been there for less than a minute.

But with just a sweep of true knowledge, the situation in the entire northwest, except for the mountain gate where high-level beings live, has been revealed. There are no secrets below the fourth level.

As far as the results of his observation are concerned, the current 'God Realm' is basically a place like a 'safe Internet cafe'.

For the lower-level gods, this is the status quo. What the so-called ‘God Realm’ gives them is actually a safe place, a place where gods gather.

They are here, and then project the Dharmakaya out, so that the gods will not die and can do their own thing in peace.

Anyway, for gods who already have golden bodies, they can have as many Dharmakayas as they need. As long as they are not touched by others, the death of the Dharmakaya will only make them weak or sleep for a period of time.

In the world, there is the protection of Shinto. These mortals who have become gods can get the greatest protection they can get. Enemies outside the territory may never be able to catch up to the world and kill their true bodies.

Apart from this, Li Qi could not see anything within the scope of Shinto.

Shinto didn't seem to care about anything else.

Mortals are outside the territory. In this area, only gods and their servants exist.

"This is really extreme. Who came up with the idea of ​​a stagnant court of gods?" Li Qi asked Yao Ji again.

"No one thought about it, it just developed like this naturally. I am too lazy to care about it, and Haotian won't care about it, but if it is to add fuel to the flames... Taiyi, he likes sacrifices." Yao Ji curled her lips and said.

Li Qi nodded.

That makes sense.

Unlike Haotian, who is dull and has no need for the outside world, Taiyi does like to offer sacrifices.

Star officials all like the "little lives" in their bodies, and they feel like raising hamsters. Star officials serve as the "incarnations of heaven" in each region. Although they do not need these little lives, as the "primates" in their bodies ', they still have a friendly and gentle attitude towards mortals.

The way for mortals to express their "gratitude" is to offer sacrifices and communicate with gods through various rituals to convey their gratitude or other emotions.

The original sacrifice served this purpose.

Communicating with gods and conveying one's own thoughts is the whole meaning of sacrifice and etiquette.

Later, after witchcraft broke away from the original worship of gods, sacrifices became a means of 'communicating all things'. Anyway, the original function of sacrifices was just to communicate. It could communicate anything, it was not important.

If Taiyi likes it, then the star officials will follow their example. In addition, the scope of influence of the star officials is extremely huge. The area covered by these refined heavens is not just one or two points.

Just like this, the "mortals who want to become gods" also began to use sacrifices. They originally became gods by imitating the way of heaven by gathering the thoughts of all living beings.

Therefore, for these incense gods, worship and believers have become an important part.

It belongs to cause and effect.

For real star officials, belief is just what they like, and collecting incense is because it is fun and interesting.

But the mortal incense gods thought that this was necessary for the gods, so they began to imitate this behavior, just like a group of monkeys saw humans playing football, and they thought that as long as they could play football, they could become humans.

However, it seems now that these monkeys are playing football really well!

A very small number of them learned to play football, learned to read, learned to pick up tools and drive screws, and as they continued to learn, they became Rise of the Planet of the Apes.

Although he cannot become a natural god, he can keep up with the pace of the true god, so that the incense god has undoubtedly become a part of Shinto.

This is how the 'human ghost' lineage among the three lines of Shinto was born.

Although most incense gods are still imitated monkeys, a very small number of them can indeed be on an equal footing with the true gods, and the delusions of mortals to become gods have indeed been realized by them.

In a sense, it can be considered a good ending.

After all, the number of gods and earth beings is too small. If there were only gods and earth beings, Shinto might not be able to survive until now.

To be able to become one of the nine places in the world, the lineage of humans and ghosts is really an indispensable component.

But this current situation must make Yao Ji very unhappy. According to what Yao Ji said before, she must be eager to hack all these people to death.

"Don't waste time on these mortals, it's time to go find Xiang Liu." Yao Ji urged, she didn't want to play the mortal observation game with Li Qi here anymore.

Although they have only been here for less than a minute, Yao Ji has no patience for mortals, even if these mortals wear the name of gods.

but……

Li Qi ignored her, but continued to observe the 'gods' in front of him.

This is something he loves to do, ever since he was a kid.

Li Qi has liked to travel from one world to another a long time ago to understand the "Tao" in this way, and during this kind of adventure, her ability to use these "Tao" will continue to strengthen.

Every world he visits will extend the scope of Li Qi's imagination in order to further explore the truth of the entire universe.

This method is like absorbing all the experiences of other civilizations bit by bit through the "snowballing" method. This is very important. Wandering from one world to another, Li Qi's experience is like layer upon layer, and finally Rich geological layers have been formed, and each layer dug down will appear deeper.

This kind of insight made Li Qi's abilities more and more powerful. At the current level of his practice, many of his accumulations have undergone qualitative changes, so that he has easily surpassed any single person without external help. The scope of what the mind can imagine.

Li Qi's various insights and understandings were enriched by the infusion of various different ideas, so much so that they could support his thinking, so that he could start writing the whole world again.

Thoughts are fire and knowledge is firewood.

A fire without firewood cannot ignite at all, and occasionally a flash of inspiration will turn into a wisp of smoke due to lack of fuel.

Firewood without a flame is just a pile of garbage, which will only slowly decay, or occasionally be used by others to make houses or the like, or be driven by others to become a "library of human flesh".

Only when the two are combined can the most dazzling fire burst out.

The firelight was enough to dispel the darkness on the road, allowing the blind worm to see this dark continent, find a path in it, and move towards the path.

Maybe one day, we can reach the end.

Yao Ji looked at Li Qi.

How should I put it, at this time, Yao Ji felt a little nostalgic for humanity.

Although she hates humanity and these self-righteous mortals, no matter what...

At least, working with humanity, you don't have to bite the bullet and observe these groups of low-level animals without any high-level pursuits.

And when you are with the witches, you will most likely have to deal with these low-level animals.

Forget it, Li Qi didn't say she had to watch it anyway, so she just closed her eyes and pretended to be dead and waited for the time to pass.

Li Qi was also very aware of Yao Ji's attitude, so he did not force her to study with him.

He just scanned it over and over again, reading the story from it.

Li Qi has a real sense of knowledge, and he can preserve the stories that no one remembers, and there are no witnesses or participants.

Of course, he also knew that it was impossible for these stories to completely interpret reality, because he understood that he was dealing with various versions. Each teller had his own version of the same thing, and it was from all versions that he , from their quantity and intersection, the true appearance of this world is produced.

Among all living beings, everyone speaks loudly the truth that belongs only to them.

And Li Qi heard all this, integrated it all, and then became all this without losing himself.

Everyone had something to say. This person said two or three sentences, this person said half a page, and that person talked more and said two or three pages.

These were stacked up and then observed, recorded, and interpreted by a strange being named "Li Qi", and finally a set of books that could explain it all was made.

This book has power.

Li Qi stood here and watched for about five months.

Yao Ji looked irritable during this period, but she was not impatient. Li Qidu came to see Xiang Liu, and she would not lose her skin if she waited a little longer.

So, time passed slowly.

During this period, gods continued to notice that there was a problem here. There were minor gods of the seventh grade, some of the fifth grade, and even some great gods of the fourth and even third grades passed by and felt Li Qi's scan, so they came to see the situation.

However, after seeing Yao Ji and Li Qi, they did not choose to interfere too much. Instead, they pretended to be invisible and ran away.

Obviously, although Yao Ji's identity is very secret in other places, it is not a secret to the third level of Shinto.

Everyone knows that Yao Ji is the reincarnation of the previous person. Although the reincarnation and the previous body cannot be directly regarded as the same person, it is better not to provoke her.

Especially Yao Ji still stays with Li Qi.

Li Qi is a big celebrity. His entanglement with the demon, his talent that ranks among the best in the universe, his origin, and his orthodoxy make him quite famous, even more famous than Yao Ji.

So, when these two get together, you don't have to think about it to know that something big is going on, and it's better not to get involved.

This is cause and effect, even immortals are afraid of it.

Many times, it is related to some major events. If this major event is a 'key node', then if the big shots take action in the future, it will be difficult for you to escape.

It is because the immortals of the Taoist Hidden World Sect are afraid of this that they basically shrink their heads and practice hard, and are unwilling to cause trouble.

There are only a handful of reckless men who take the initiative to contaminate cause and effect.

for example--

Now there is a reckless man coming in the direction of Yao Ji.
