Myriad Paths

The universe is full of people like Wang You.

Of course, they may not all have the same experience as Wang You, but the things they encountered were generally the same.

Each type of person has different characteristics, each has its own unique virtues and vices, its own mortal sins.

These people all have two souls and two natures. They have both beautiful and rational things in them, as well as cruel and hateful things. This means that they are all chaotic and complex, and do not have a 'simple' nature.

They declare war on themselves. The two aspects of a person's soul and body are mortal enemies of each other, and they are incompatible and dedicated to opposing each other.

This is the same as what Li Qi understood.

There is no universal ‘nature’ for all living things, and all living things are inherently contradictory.

Because I want to be lazy and 'simple', I summarize, do subtraction, and constantly reduce various things into simpler things, so that they are easier to grasp.

It is a convenient idea to reduce everything to "one", then if you master "one", you will master everything.

But in fact, this is wrong in itself, or... Li Qi thinks it is wrong.

In Li Qi's view at this moment, there is no 'Tao', no 'root' that can easily explain everything, just as the same person actually has no 'nature'.

Do people have nature?

Do groups of people, all people, have a common ‘nature’?

If we believe that there is an ultimate way and a 'source', then we should think that all human chaos has a nature, and all chaos in the crowd also has the same nature.

But if, like Li Qi, you veto the existence of the 'source', you will find that all chaos is just because of chaos and contradiction. Just like the unknowable darkness, everything is inherently contradictory, and there is no metaphysical thing to explain it. Integrating all things, all things naturally contradict themselves, just like mathematics can never be complete.

Mathematics and logic can never avoid self-referential problems, and therefore cannot be complete. Therefore, there is no formula that can explain all problems.

The ultimate way no longer exists.

Therefore, Li Qi could see various contradictory temperaments mixed together in them. They could feel both happiness and pain. The two were both hostile to each other and intertwined with each other.

This contradiction is common in everyone. For example, those who pursue power are destroyed by power, those who pursue money are destroyed by money, those who are humble are destroyed by groveling, and those who pursue pleasure are destroyed by pleasure.

It is for the same reason that everyone will experience this kind of thing in the 'Qi Palace'.

They can achieve their goals through the almost unlimited wealth in Qidian, so they will become more and more whatever they want. No one can give them orders. They don't have to look at other people's eyes to act. These people who come to Qidian will ultimately say and do everything they want. It's all up to him to decide freely.

Everyone can get what his true inner impulse drives him to pursue, and Li Qi gives them absolute freedom.

They are no longer bound, and so much wealth is enough to completely expose and show their 'inner', and this exposure is almost destined to be chaotic.

They will find that they have no control over their thoughts of exposure.

Infinite wealth and nearly infinite power can amplify every thought they have and make their various contradictory thoughts become reality.

Some people are sometimes kind and kind and want to save the common people, and sometimes they are irritable and evil and think that destruction is all that matters.

And when these thoughts are only hidden in the bottom of my heart, they are just a thought. They will not have much impact, and they are usually just thought about.

However, Li Qi gave these people the ability to realize all their thoughts.

In this way, everyone's contradictions and chaos can be completely transformed into what really happened. If they have insufficient self-control, they will let their own thoughts control themselves.

They may think this is 'freedom'.

However, some smart people may have noticed that this 'freedom' is actually death.

When one truly has almost unlimited wealth, everyone's evil thoughts will be exposed, and once exposed, they will fall into incomparable loneliness.

When you don't need to establish various relationships, and when all kinds of people have nothing to do with you, even yourself in your body will be cracked because of this.

Because even oneself has nothing to do with oneself, and people will slowly suffocate to death in the increasingly thin air.

Even if these people are full of desire, have good intentions, open their arms and are ready to be restrained and ready to live with others, it is no longer helpful. Now no one will pay attention to him as a 'free person'.

In fact, it's not that people hate him or hate him. On the contrary, because of his wealth and their property, they can easily have many friends and many people like him. But what he always gets is a friendly attitude and people ask him. He was a guest and wrote kind letters to him, but no one really got close to him, and he had no sense of intimacy with anyone else.

No one can understand these people. After the heart is completely exposed, everything around him slips away from him. He has no ability to establish various relationships. Neither will nor desire can help him overcome this power.

They will go crazy, smash something, destroy some precious commodity exhibitions, and even slap themselves, make their faces swollen and blackened, make a scene, break the halo of those idols who are worshiped, give a few tickets to the outer planet to a few disobedient children, or seduce a little girl, and destroy the normal social order.

This is all caused by their inability to control their own thoughts.

They will step into a lonely line, and even commit suicide because of this, and it is real "suicide".

It is wrong to call all people who commit suicide suicide. Many of these people become suicides due to accidental reasons, and suicide is not necessarily out of their will.

Only such a disappearance that is completely voluntary can be truly counted as a suicide.

But there is a way to solve it.

That is to control your thoughts out of your own reason, out of complete self-control and cognition of the world.

Just like Li Qi.

Li Qi has enough power to realize every desire and every thought of his, but Li Qi obviously did not do so. He controlled his power very well, so he could suppress the evil thoughts in his heart.

Li Qi wanted to select such people.

After being given enough power, people who can still suppress their full thoughts.

Only such people can join the ranks after Li Qi.

The screening mechanism lasted for about 100 million years.

In the end, Li Qi... barely succeeded, right?

There are many more people in the universe who can suppress their thoughts to a certain extent.

Li Qi rarely says "evil thoughts" now, because to be honest, it can be said that all subjective wishes are "evil thoughts", and the more persistent, the more obsessed.

The dream of sticking to a lifelong dream is the biggest evil thought of a person. Can it be removed?

Therefore, evil thoughts cannot be... at least difficult to remove, unless you reach the realm of "emptiness".

Therefore, what is needed is control, not removal.

Control your thoughts, suppress your desires, and use clear wisdom to recognize what thoughts are needed and what are not.

Indulgence and suppression are also the yin and yang sides of the Tai Chi diagram, and all contradictions are like this.

Now, it's time to close the net.

On this day, at this moment, all the "qualified people" had the same person in front of them.

——————————

Bai Lu is a second-generation Tianxia resident from Tianxia.

The reason for this is that she was indeed born in Tianxia, ​​but her parents were not native to Tianxia, ​​but from outside the domain.

And the place where she was born was not very good, she was born in the Dream City of the Demon Dao.

Her parents were transferred to the Dream City through the Demon Dao, and then spent energy to smuggle to the other half of the Dream City, which is the half of Li Qi's Daochang.

Half of the Dream City still belongs to the Demon Dao, but the other half is actually Li Qi's Daochang, although Li Qi basically does not come here.

Because Li Qi is difficult to eat, when the Demon Dao begins to seriously defend this place, even the second-grade will find it difficult to bite it off.

The reason why they were able to come here and get half of it as a dojo was entirely because the Demon Dao did it on purpose. They just wanted Li Qi to be contaminated by the Demon Dao.

Anyway... Li Qi is also one of us.

As another son of the Heavenly Demon besides the Demon Prince, Li Qi's identity should not be a secret among the Demon Dao's high-level officials.

However, even if Li Qi can't actually manage this place, he can indeed create a better environment for this half of the place, at least much better than the Dream City.

Therefore, this also formed another peculiar pattern, that is, for people outside the domain, the best way for them to come to the world is to come directly to the Dream City through the Demon Dao, and then find a way to go to the half of Li Qi's dojo.

This even gave rise to a whole set of industrial chains.

The Dream City even promoted Li Qi's dojo as an advertisement, and then used the existence of Li Qi's dojo as "hope", as the carrot hanging on the pig's head.

Then, they also opened many smuggling channels, in order to make people constantly stimulate their potential for such a little starlight, and constantly strengthen their desires and beliefs.

You know, sometimes, the act of "going to the promised land" itself can become an obsession. With this obsession, especially in the days before it is about to be completed, people can burst out with extremely terrifying beliefs and willpower.

And this kind of willpower is what the Demon Dao wants.

The Demon Dao is not stingy in sending two people over, because as long as there are two examples, there will be two thousand idiots who are determined and think they can do it.

So, with this, coupled with the destruction of Buddhism, the population of the Dream City has skyrocketed by more than two or three times.

Under the half-bright and half-dark desolate night sky, under the indifferent gaze of billions of stars, in this gloomy world, hope is the most precious wealth of people in despair, and the Demon Dao wants to take this most precious wealth for himself.

But Bai Lu is a lucky person. Her parents successfully came to the other half, a place that is much better, and gave birth to Bai Lu, making her a native of the world.

And Bai Lu's good luck is obviously not limited to this.

After she grew up, she accidentally discovered a cave, and from this cave, she discovered endless wealth.

Countless elixirs, magic weapons, various types of exercises, spells, techniques, blueprints, and even various spiritual materials, immortal gold, divine iron and spiritual grass.

She carefully collected these things without telling anyone.

This is not because she is stingy, but because she knows that if exposed, it will lead to disaster.

Bai Lu was born in the City of Dreams, and she knows very well what kind of virtue these people are.

But...she didn't give up on them either.

In fact, after Bai Lu obtained the endless wealth, she used it carefully to improve her cultivation, enhance her strength, and then...save more people from the City of Dreams.

Of course she would not try to fight against the entire Demonic Path, but out of a thousand people in the Demonic Path, if one person is put in as a bait, as a winner, then what if with her help, two people can be put in?

The two of them didn't dare to think that even if they could let in just one person, it would be enough. In this way, one person out of 10,000 people would be able to escape from that hell.

Don't underestimate one of these ten thousand people.

How many people are there in the City of Dreams?

That's calculated in trillions.

In other words, Bailu can save many, many billions more people.

That's a lot.

And the reason why she did all this is very simple, because she and her parents were also saved in this way.

The person who saved them was named 'Moggallana'. Although this eminent monk can no longer be found, she still remembers it in her heart. Her dream since she was a child is to become a person like Moggallana.

Therefore, Bai Lu used all her strength on this and was not pulled by the endless wealth. For her, wealth existed for her goals, but wealth itself had no attraction to her.

She needs money, but that doesn't mean she loves money.

All of this is just for her dream. Cultivation, wealth, and knowledge all exist for these.

She even knew that the Demonic Dao had probably discovered her existence.

However, precisely because of Bai Lu's 'dream', the devil did not care about her. It could even be said that the devil allowed her to do these things.

The devil likes people who have dreams and are determined.

When her Taoist heart is broken and demonic thoughts abound, it will be an extremely delicious dish.

This situation has been maintained for many years.

Bai Lu's life has also stabilized.

However, on this day, an ordinary morning, she finished a lot of paperwork last night and was preparing to drink something to refresh her mind——

A man appeared in front of her: "Want something to drink? I'll get it for you."

Li Qi said this.
