Myriad Paths

The minister of Gonggong is called Xiang Liu, with nine heads, and he eats in the nine mountains.

Where Xianliu arrived, he dug out a river called Zexi. Yu killed Xiangliu, and the blood was so bloody that no grain could be grown there. Yu dug it, three Ren and three Ju, and regarded it as the platform for the emperors.

To the north of Kunlun, to the east of Rouli, there is a willow tree with nine human faces and a snake body that is green, and does not dare to shoot north. The platform is to the east of it. On all sides of the platform, there is a snake in the corner, with a tiger color, and its first shot is to the south.

Soon, Li Qi, Zhang Zong, and Yao Ji arrived here.

Here, there is a statue. The statue is green in color, has nine male dragons, and has stripes on its body.

Above the nine statues, there is a magnificent platform of emperors, with many murals carved on it, which are the achievements and appearances of the ancient emperors. They are firmly suppressed on the head of the statue of Xiang Liu.

And around the statue of Xiang Liu, there were actually 'gods'.

Many half-human, half-snake beings are living nearby, but their lifestyles are all strange.

These half-human, half-snake beings are not ordinary mortal beings.

They possess the qualities of a star officer.

Star officials actually possess considerable depth and breadth of wisdom.

In the minds of these "world wills" that have awakened their self-awareness, the wisdom of all eras and even all worlds is concentrated. In their bodies, endless worlds and various lives of various biological individuals are concentrated.

The daily lives of these beings are full of joy and creation, but all of this is good, because everything they create will become nourishment for the Star Officer.

In this way, Xingguan absorbed their wisdom and turned it into his own wisdom.

For high-level star officials, they were able to cover all the worlds with star maps in the past, but now, the 'world' has disappeared, and their power will be transformed into another form.

They are huge in size, and their consciousness is transmitted in a wave-like manner between stars. A thousand years of time are just moments that cannot be captured by star officials.

Today's star officials can count the stars in the universe just like counting their own flock of sheep without missing a single one.

The star officials have their own arrogance. They believe that they are the most awakened beings, and their wisdom exceeds that of the 'Primary God'.

The 'Primary Gods' were just born earlier. The Prime Gods were actually quite 'personalized'. They had various self-wills, different personalities, and distinct personalities. They were similar to mortals in many ways.

But they are both gods, and the Star Official is the will of the world.

In the past, present, and future of Xingguan's existence, in all eras and in all worlds, they have sacrificed their lives and their own civilization for Xingguan without hesitation, and ultimately created the glorious Xingguan.

Star officials are naturally respected by all people.

When mortals first realize that the galaxy they are in is alive, has self-awareness, and thrives on absorbing the wisdom of all things, they usually feel an irresistible sense of awe.

A kind of awe arises spontaneously. When they are under the starry sky and look up at everything, they can't help but feel ashamed, remain silent, and feel admiration in their hearts.

This is the greatness of Star Officer.

The half-human, half-snake race in front of them generally possess the characteristics of star officials.

They use the body here as the center, project the body into the starry sky outside the world through the Dharma body, and then use the 'galaxy' as a unit to form the cells of the Dharma body, and then piece together the huge star official body.

These half-human, half-snake life forms project their spirits into the starry sky, manipulate the diffuse matter between the stars, and compress it with gravity.

Both Li Qi and Zhang Zong could see this whole process. They could witness the luck, controlled by the will of these half-human, half-snake gods, condensing from the initially thin gas into a sphere with a clearer outline, and then becoming a convex mirror. A round disk appeared, and brighter strips and darker cracks began to appear in the body.

By manipulating gravity, these half-human, half-snake gods further condense the gas, lighting up the stars one by one, and making the material in the nebula more dense.

They are more closely integrated with each other, and then have more characteristics of life.

This process can take a long time, perhaps even billions of years before a regular river system takes shape, but it seems that it's all worth it to these half-human, half-snake gods.

Li Qi counted the number of people. There were more than 100,000 half-human, half-snake gods here, ranging in rank from fourth to sixth, with the lowest being sixth. This seemed to be a threshold.

Only if you reach this threshold can you participate in this plan.

"What do you think they are doing?" Li Qi turned to ask Zhang Zong.

Zhang Zong took a look, pondered for a while, and then said: "If I had to guess, they are trying to transform themselves into a combination of 'gods' and 'gods'. The original gods cannot be simulated, so then Find a way from Xingguan, after all, the Xiangliu clan is born to be earthbound, but I don’t understand why they do this.”

"Like me?" Li Qi pointed at himself.

Li Qi is a combination of gods and earth.

The way he became a god was with the help of the power of the 'Zhurong' lineage, while the earth became a part of the world because of the relationship with the Taoist temple.

"Unlike you, you are half god and half earth. In other words... you are neither a god nor an earth." Zhang Zong concluded: "And what they pursue is to be both a god and an earth. They want Using the body of the earth, the Dharma body of the star official is projected."

"But what's the point?" Zhang Zong was confused.

Admittedly, this is indeed a big plan.

If time is extended, from the perspective of overspeeding, for this plan, hundreds of millions of years are just a blink of an eye.

These 'Xiangliu Clan' creatures used their magical powers to condense the nebula material to form the first stars. Viewed from a distance, these red-glow behemoths were just tiny bits of bright light.

Sometimes these stars burst into flames, and after a brilliant burst of light, life and civilization are born, with these tiny, hard-won seeds of life surrounding the lifeless stars.

Finally, the entire river system was filled with countless civilized worlds, full of vitality.

There is at least one unique race in every world. They are sensitive and intelligent, and have their own world and cognition.

Then, many worlds come together to form a system, and this system becomes a community.

In a complete river system, countless civilizational communities are closely connected through the body of the 'Star Official', becoming a wise and enthusiastic co-existence of the river system.

Xingguan gathers the power and wisdom of countless individuals with vast differences and fleeting lives to pursue life and spiritual adventures in the vastest space of the universe. This power seems to be what Xiangliu wants to get.

Then, what are they going to do with this?

unknown.

But Li Qi was not prepared to pursue it. Everyone had their own goals, so why bother to get to the bottom of it?

Therefore, he gave up observing and instead looked at the platform.

"Let's go?" Li Qi asked.

"Yeah." Zhang Zong nodded.

The two of them stopped observing Xiang Liu and came to the stage in an instant.

"This is sealed by your witches. You should know how to communicate. I leave it to you." Zhang Zong took a step back.

Li Qi nodded, then recited the incantation.

He burned half a pile of firewood, set up nine woks, blew horns together, criss-crossed money and rice in the road, and then threw them into the river, attracting lustful ghosts to fill the surrounding area. Blood suddenly appeared in the air. Li Qi took the blood and painted it on the roof. tiles, and take ghosts and ghosts to use as town objects

In this way, the dirty blood of the evil ghosts in the underworld can obscure the sight of the Five Emperors Platform and break the seal through a small crack, through which Xiang Liu's power can spread.

However, it was impossible to let Xiang Liu come out like this.

Zhang Zong next to him tapped his fingers.

Thunder followed the lightning and flashed one after another. Twelve different kinds of thunder appeared in the sky, corresponding to the twelve directions. However, there were crashes, bangs and bangs, which were sudden and irregular. The thunder suddenly startled, and the horses and lightning were intertwined. One hundred and ninety-three thousand In the five hundred miles of land, thunder rang out, because the middle was the number of days between the earth and the sky. Blocking here would block all possibilities of getting out.

Then, Xiang Liu's power came out.

The surroundings were suddenly filled with a power of ‘pollution’.

Li Qi and Zhang Zong both felt at the same time that their own decline had begun.

It's like the brains of mortals begin to degenerate due to old age, and they can no longer take on the task of thinking.

All functions are declining, and the decaying body is seriously eroding them.

"It's better to curb this stench, Xiang Liu, did you call me here just to fume me?" Li Qi said.

Then a nine-headed snake crawled out from the seal.

This is not the opponent's true body, but a dharma body composed of a trace of power leaked out.

This statue of Xiang Liu Dharmakaya glanced at the horizon.

The thunder ordered by Zhang Zong has completely covered an area of ​​193,500 miles, and it is impossible for Xiang Liu to escape from this area.

"You two are really cautious. Where is Yao Ji?" Xiang Liu made a voice.

The sound sounded a little low, like the sound of a magnet rubbing.

"Waiting outside, it seems like she is not planning to get involved in this matter, but... I guess it's because she knows it's useless to come in, so she's too lazy to move, right?" Li Qi said, looking at Xiang Liu .

The nine-headed serpent, or the 'nine-headed dragon', is what Xiang Liu looks like.

"So, what do you think? Unblock me, and then I will help Wu Jin." Xiang Liu said.

"Unblocking you involves a lot of things. Is it allowed within the Shinto? Most of the ancient emperors died in the Taoist struggle, but won't those who survived cause trouble for me? Like Emperor Xuanyuan, he He's a first-class man now, don't you get along well with him?" Li Qi said.

Li Qi already knew this secret.

Emperor Xuanyuan is now the ‘Huanglong’.

Obviously, in the past, the legend of Emperor Xuanyuan's "riding away on a dragon" highlighted one thing. In his last moments, Emperor Xuanyuan chose neither the path of witchcraft nor the path of humanity.

As one of the emperors and an ancient holy emperor, he gave up on humans, gods, and witches, and chose to 'ride the dragon'.

"Is Emperor Xuanyuan at the first level? Is he still a god?" Xiang Liu suddenly asked.

This question made Li Qi realize that Xiang Liu had no idea what was happening in the outside world.

"He's no longer a god. He's gone on a dragon." Li Qi smiled.

"So that's it, riding the dragon away... In other words, will Emperor Xuanyuan intervene? Even if I am still in the third rank?" Xiang Liu said so, with nine heads and eighteen eyes scanning around Li Qi and Zhang Zong.

The gloomy gaze seemed to make the surrounding temperature drop along with it.

There have always been conflicts between the Xiangliu clan and the real dragons, and Emperor Xuanyuan did not like Gonggong's lineage. At least when he was the emperor, Emperor Xuanyuan supported the survival of mortals.

"It's hard to say, you know, right? Emperor Xuanyuan initially supported mortals, but when he 'rided away on a dragon', his ministers wanted to follow him, but they were thrown off by the dragon. Only the old bow is left." Li Qi said, "So, is Emperor Xuanyuan's attitude towards mortals really still the same as before?"

Li Qi was really not sure about this.

It may be understandable that Emperor Xuanyuan does not support mortals, just like Yao Ji. Yao Ji once helped Emperor Yu control the floods and stopped the flood caused by the Gonggong clan, but in the end Yao Ji changed her mind and believed that mortals should be completely destroyed.

He once helped mortals, but finally chose to give up.

But...will Di Xuanyuan support Xiang Liu after giving up?

It's hard to say. It can be seen from Shenyi Jun that the relationship between Xiangliu and the real dragon has not been good in the ancient times. Even people like Shenyijun who were born in the Xiangliu family will hunt real dragons. , the fourth-grade true dragon was provoked to fight back.

Li Qi couldn't make up his mind, so he looked at Xiang Liu.

If Xiang Liu can convince him, then anything can be said.

But Xiang Liu himself couldn't come up with anything good to say to persuade Li Qi, so he might as well go back and stay. The outside world is very dangerous, and it's easy to die if you interfere. You might as well go back to prison and wait.

Li Qi's attitude was easy to understand, and Xiang Liu easily understood what Li Qi wanted.

Therefore, this gloomy nine-headed serpent said this: "Let's not mention the matter of Emperor Xuanyuan for the time being. After all, it is still too difficult to stick to the attitude of a first-class person, and the first-class people will not pay attention to my unblocking."

"I'd better get down to business. When I was sealed here, the information I could get was very limited, so I wasn't very clear about the situation in the outside world."

"However, judging from the existing information, the current Taoist war has reached a new peak from a peaceful period. The witches should need more combat power, right?"

Li Qi shook his head: "If we just talk about combat power, there is no need to say more. To be honest, the forces you and Yao Ji belong to are no different from human beings in the eyes of witches."

"If we can reconcile with you, then the witchcraft will never start a war with humanity."

For Wu Jin, the gods who want to destroy all mortals and the humanity who want to destroy everything except human beings are equivalent.

Wu Jin does not want to eliminate any party. (End of chapter)
