I Thought of Something Hilarious

New car, new road, new look.

After the previous convoy and roads were destroyed, Zhang Deming called for another convoy.

This time, they arrived fully armed, with armored vehicles and large trucks, and only one luxury car in the middle for Li Qi and his entourage to ride in.

However, Li Qi refused the luxury car and instead got into one of the large trucks, having the others empty the various military equipment from the truck bed before getting in.

Now, five people are sitting in the open cargo bed at the back of the truck.

Li Qi was clearly the leader of the five, sitting among them.

Bai Di stood behind Li Qi, sword in hand, not sitting, like a younger brother.

Shen Shuibi was playing with a jigsaw puzzle in the back, as if nothing had anything to do with her, and she came with a completely indifferent attitude.

As for the two in front of him, they stretched their limbs while keeping a wary eye on Li Qi.

First up is the lioness. According to her self-introduction, her name is Shar, and she is a so-called 'Type-A Modified Human' and the captain of that unknown resistance organization. She is definitely a ninth-rank combatant.

Of course, he's just a captain, not a leader.

As for that man, his name was Lu Li. He was Shar's second-in-command and also a skilled fighter. He had cultivated some fragments of Cultivation Method passed down by the 'High Immortal,' which were roughly similar to the Wave-Pushing Strength. He was not a rank-level fighter, but with modern equipment and tactical weapons, his combat strength could barely be considered as a ninth-rank fighter.

It's just a matter of how long it would take; any ninth-rank opponent could easily defeat him.

"See, I said I'd untie you, and I did. That's very sincere, isn't it?" Li Qi said with a smile, his face practically screaming "amiable and approachable."

"What's the use of untying us? Do you think we can resist a 'High Immortal being'? What difference does it make whether we're tied up or not?" Lu Li said, his eyes wary and his whole body on guard.

Shar stopped Lu Li.

He didn't speak, but just pondered quietly.

Seeing this, Bai Di said, "If the young master wants to torture you, he has plenty of ways. You think your will is strong enough to resist all tortures, but that's only because you haven't seen the methods of Shaman Path..."

"Stop, Brother Bai, why are you making me sound like a villain... I really don't know how to torment people." Li Qi smiled wryly, still trying to create a harmonious atmosphere.

Bai Di stopped speaking, somewhat puzzled.

This is a world of resources. They are indeed doing something to suppress the Heavenly Dao of this place. Does the young master want to persuade the Great Deer Kingdom Lord to give up this world?

"Ahem, in short, you two, you should know that I am serious about resolving this matter. The Heavenly Dao of your world is about to be downgraded. Although I don't know if you understand this concept, as the Child of Destiny, you should be able to vaguely sense that this is happening."

"As for me, I am different from that person who secretly manipulates the Heavenly Dao and tries to push it into the abyss. I think that would be against the will of Heaven and I want to help you." Li Qi said to Lu Li and Shar in a very serious tone.

At this moment, Shen Shuibi suddenly looked up. "Li Qi, do you want to receive Heavenly Dao retribution?"

"Ahem, Rabbit, be quiet." Li Qi turned his head and glared at Shen Shuibi. This rabbit was always particularly perceptive in these kinds of things!

Shen Shuibi immediately buried her head and continued playing with the jigsaw puzzle.

However, she is right.

The Heavenly Dao and the Mountain Spirit are similar; both are beings that are without knowledge or awareness yet possess a spirit.

They are able to react to emergencies to prevent danger, and will naturally offer different rewards depending on the situation.

Preventing the Heavenly Dao from further declining in status will surely result in a reward from the Heavenly Dao.

Thinking about this, Li Qi suddenly realized something.

"Wait a minute, do the fortune tellers have methods for framing others?" Li Qi turned to look at Shen Shuibi, who knew a lot.

"Of course there is. Didn't I say it before? Back in Feng County, with that little Wang Family girl, I said it too. The fortune teller lineage has a way of framing people." Shen Shuibi replied without looking up.

"Then tell me, can we reason this out from the other side? We were bombed as soon as we got here. If you're going to call it a coincidence, I think it's unlikely."

"Tell me, suppose someone frames us for something, and if I get angry and decide to teach this Heavenly Dao a lesson, and then that person saves the world, wouldn't they be the one to receive the reward from the Heavenly Dao?" Li Qi said to the others.

"In this way, he won't have to bear the wrath of the Great Deer Kingdom, nor will he have to worry about the risk of offending the Great Deer Kingdom Lord. If his purpose from the beginning was to provoke me and make me do this, then the Great Deer Kingdom Lord has nothing to say."

Li Qi looked around and said to everyone, "If we reason from the perspective of motive, this statement, although lacking evidence, is not without merit."

Upon hearing this, Bai Di felt as if he had been enlightened. He looked at Li Qi with admiration and said, "Young Master is indeed astute. This is not impossible. We should prepare in advance!"

Shen Shuibi, on the other hand, didn't seem to have much of a reaction.

It made no difference to her.

Lu Li and Shar still didn't say anything.

Lu Li did not believe Li Qi's behavior at the moment, so no matter what Li Qi did, he held a completely disbelieving attitude.

But Li Qi also knew that Lu Li's opinion didn't count, and whether he agreed or not was unimportant.

So, Li Qi looked at the woman who looked like a lioness and asked, "Miss Shar, what do you think? Do you think what I said makes sense?"

At this moment, Shar spoke.

Her throat bobbed, and her voice, like her size, was very rough, like a wild beast struggling to speak.

Presumably, her vocal cord structure is completely different from that of humans, so she can only barely make a sound when she speaks.

"That makes sense," the rough voice said.

"However, there is no evidence."

She spoke concisely, and after saying just two sentences, she kept her mouth tightly shut.

"The young master's words are the evidence. What else do you lowly people want the young master to prove for you?" Bai Di said with displeasure.

Li Qi felt his head was throbbing.

"Ahem, alright, Brother Bai, stop talking. Let's reason with him, reason with him." Li Qi stopped Bai Di before he felt awkward.

He hadn't gotten used to being a 'young master' yet, and wasn't used to that feeling of being superior to others.

"Miss Shar, indeed, I understand what you mean. These 'High Immortal' have controlled this world for a long time, constantly preventing its freedom and extracting its energy to the point of near depletion."

"However, if you think about it from another perspective, it is precisely because of this that the High Immortal need to maintain the grade of this world. The earth oil produced by an eighth-grade world is not in the same league as the earth oil produced by Ninth Rank World."

"Even if it's just to protect the interests of the High Immortal, I have a reason to help you maintain the grade of this Heavenly Dao. Miss Shar, don't you think that makes sense?" Li Qi asked.

Shar spoke up, looking at Li Qi, and said, "That makes sense... but there's still no evidence."

"I understand. You think I might still have designs on you, right? So you're worried that my attitude is just to gain your trust. You think what's behind you is important enough that it's still worth coveting by us High Immortal." Li Qi looked at Shar and said directly.

Shar remained silent and said no more.

"However, it's normal that you don't understand, Brother Bai. Tell the car in front to stop." Li Qi said.

Bai Di jumped out of the carriage, ran to open the door, and smoothly sat in the front passenger seat, giving orders to the drivers in front to stop the car.

Soon, the entire convoy came to a stop.

Many fully armed soldiers were puzzled, but having received orders, they dared not ask any further questions.

Zhang Deming, who was in charge of the command, was trembling with fear, thinking that something big was about to happen again, but Bai Di told him to shut up and told the others to continue to stand by.

Li Qi ignored all of that and walked straight out of the carriage into the desert.

Then, he turned around and looked at Shar and Lu Li: "Watch carefully. After you've watched, think about whether I really have ulterior motives, and then you can make a decision."

After Li Qi finished speaking, he started walking forward at the speed of an ordinary person, which looked very slow.

After walking for about a minute, everyone was still puzzled by his behavior.

Then, Li Qi looked back and stepped on the ground, seemingly estimating the distance.

Then, he walked for another minute or so, this time at a faster pace, until he was so far away that others could only see a tiny dot.

Two or three minutes passed before he finally stood still, reached out, and gently patted the ground.

Then he ran back.

After walking for about two or three minutes, he ran back to the convoy.

Everyone looked bewildered, and Lu Li and Shar were even more clueless.

Except for Shen Shuibi.

The rabbit had already tucked her head in and covered her ears; she had figured out what Li Qi had done.

Just when everyone was completely bewildered.

Sudden.

There was an earthquake.

From the ground to the rock strata interface, and then to the surface, a large-amplitude tremor was generated that propagated along the interface and the surface, just like a bomb suddenly exploding!

The powerful earthquake triggered landslides, collapses, and ground fissures. The ground shook noticeably, and the shaking caused the topsoil to sink. Shallow groundwater was squeezed and began to gush out, even causing local topographical changes in the areas closest to the ground!

Animals and insects took flight in fright, and the loose sand layer and soft quicksand layer of the original desert strata all collapsed. The surrounding scenery was destroyed in an instant, the underground river changed course, and the hills were overturned, as if the world had undergone a cataclysmic change!

The earthquake's reach extended far beyond most people's imagination. Li Qi had walked nearly ten miles when the earthquake waves clearly originated from that area! The desert had vanished; the sand and gravel had long since been thrown into the sky, revealing the bedrock beneath!

It was as if a colossal beast was lurking underground, roaring to the sky, its sonic waves creating a storm that shattered hundreds of giant rocks into dust! Then it leaped across the ground on all fours, the shockwaves from its landing crushing the earth layer by layer!

The ground within a ten-mile radius trembled! In fact, at the epicenter of the explosion, the ground itself melted, and the traces of the explosion and scorching could be seen from ten miles away with their blinding light.

The shockwaves traveled swiftly across the ground, shattering anything that stood in their way and shaping the terrain into bizarre arcs.

A crater was born.

Whether it was Lu Li, Shar, or the other ordinary soldiers, or Zhang Deming, they all stared wide-eyed, their jaws almost dropping to the ground.

Are you kidding me!

Such power is beyond the reach of any ordinary person!

This kind of existence, capable of permanently altering the terrain, makes every tremor of the ground cause the solid rock layers to become as fragile as liquid, easily manipulated.

This... this is the High Immortal's 'young master'?

All the natives of the Earth Oil Realm were trembling with fear, regarding Li Qi as a god. Some timid soldiers even knelt down, no longer daring to look directly at Li Qi.

Zhang Deming trembled like a plucked quail, but he didn't seem very surprised. It must be because the other big shots of the Great Deer Kingdom had already left behind some 'achievements' when they conquered this world.

However, Lu Li and Shar couldn't hide the shock on their faces.

They had been on high alert, but now they looked at Li Qi with uncontrollable fear, but quickly looked away, afraid of angering Li Qi.

Both of them were filled with panic and uncertainty, but they both confirmed the same thing.

This is the High Immortal.

Absolutely impossible to resist, it has controlled this world for thousands of years without wavering.

Even the top executives of the company must treat this with utmost care, regarding it as the most honored guest they can receive.

They are from another world—

God.

However, only the indigenous people think this way.

There were two other people. Bai Di stood to the side, not surprised at all. This was the level that a young master should have.

"Well..." Li Qi was very satisfied with the result, so he opened his mouth to speak.

But at this moment, Shen Shuibi suddenly let out a "pfft" sound.

"What are you laughing at!" Li Qi turned his head and glared at the rabbit.

"No, no! Please continue. I just saw something really funny!" Shen Shuibi quickly waved her hand. Compared to the miracle Li Qi had just created, Li Qi's gaze seemed to frighten her more, so she lowered her head.

Why are you looking down?

Of course, she covered her mouth and chuckled.

Li Qi was helpless; the atmosphere he had just built up was ruined by that laugh.

However, it was indeed very funny to Shen Shuibi.

Because Li Qi was just secretly playing a little trick.

When he walked over, he was actually performing a Sacrificial Ritual.

The reason they were moving so slowly was because they were preparing offerings and meeting the requirements of the Sacrificial Ritual.

What kind of Sacrificial Ritual?

Of course, it's the most daring sacrificial ceremony to heaven!

To communicate with the Heavenly Dao of this world!

Through this Sacrificial Ritual, Li Qi communicated with the Heavenly Dao of this world. However, the offering he prepared was extremely blasphemous, a pile of waste paper that was completely contrary to etiquette.

The Heavenly Dao possesses a spirit, yet it is unaware and unperturbed, acting solely on instinct. Having been subjected to Li Qi's actions, it deserves punishment, especially since Li Qi already carries the wrath of the Heavenly Dao.

Therefore, Heavenly Dao directly imposed punishment, which is a natural disaster.

Li Qi simply used a Technique Method to deflect the Heavenly Punishment.

Such a massive event was nothing more than an untargeted Heavenly Punishment!

That's why Shen Shuibi laughed like that.
