Above is a complex star map.

Above the Six Jia, the handle of the Big Dipper is moved, the combined gods of the Twelve Moons are set, the ten Heavenly Stems are placed between the twelve generals, Twenty-Eight Mansions and thirty-six stars are arranged in turn.

The Heavenly Stem, Earthly Branch, and Yin/Yang are considered to form four lessons. The Heavenly Stem of the day is the Yang Earthly Branch of the day, and the Earthly Branch of the day is the Yin Earthly Branch of the day. The Earthly Branch of the day is the Yang Earthly Branch of the day, and the Earthly Branch of the day is the Yin Earthly Branch of the day. Is this what the four lessons are? This is the core of the formation, a certain basic assumption.

The trigrams are located at Si, Yang Zi and Yin Wu, Sheng Qi Mao, Si You, and Xing Huo Shen. This is the base of the formation, which seems to be describing the different positions of several rulers.

There are also star positions. The sun rises at the second quarter of the hour of Yin (3-5 AM), and the moon rises at the second quarter of the hour of Xu (7-9 PM). There are 62 quarters of day and 38 quarters of night. The narrowing of each quarter is about 92/10, and the curvature is 16,384. Multiplying the twelfth curvature number of 16,384 by this gives 3,141.592 inches. This is used to mark and calculate all the positions and changes of the world.

Li Qi noticed these things and realized that they were a star map marking the locations of all worlds in this world group.

This array diagram needs to be modified by yourself.

The array diagram is merely a solution, not a tool; users need to conduct their own surveys and calculations.

It's important to understand that the world is not static. In the endless void, under the influence of gravity, it is constantly moving forward and changing its position.

This star map is marked with many parameters and calculation methods. Once the star map is imported into it, it can be used to calculate how each world will move in the next moment and where it will appear.

This is an extremely difficult and complex matter. You have to understand that these worlds are mutually guiding each other under the influence of gravity; you pull me, I pull you, and we are all intertwined.

However, this star map, through some strange algorithm, made these worlds and many regions outside the domain 'unaffected by forces', greatly simplifying complex calculations and even eliminating 'gravity', allowing the Demon Star to continue to exist normally without affecting other objects. It only needs to be unfolded when needed.

In this way, the Demon Star can act as the core of the formation, and through its own influence on all worlds, along with the anchoring of several formation bases, that is, other rulers, it can gradually pull the entire world group towards the direction it wants.

The reinterpretation of gravity led the power of the Demonization neutron Neutron Star, the Sky Swallowing Demon Lord, to other paths, broadening his Dao Path.

The master of formations who created this array is truly ingenious; their methods are genius-like.

Li Qi continued to observe, activating all his senses, and True Knowledge Dao Charm carefully examined the array diagram.

He didn't concern himself with the specific data and structural components; his focus was on the principles behind the array.

When True Knowledge Dao Charm was initially displayed in progress bar mode, Li Qi could utilize its characteristics to complete speed reading, memorization, and recitation.

Once you read a book through once and the progress bar is full, you'll automatically memorize it. The same goes for a Technique Method; you can learn it directly.

Essentially, this stems from the True Knowledge Dao Charm's ability to 'read information.' The True Knowledge Dao Charm can directly read information from things and then engrave it in Li Qi's mind.

Now, the same is true on this array diagram.

Li Qi doesn't need to memorize data; he is mastering the 'principles' at a speed that surpasses Sky Swallowing Demon Lord's imagination.

Fifteen minutes later, Li Qi looked up.

"Thank you, Demon Lord. This array diagram is truly wondrous, able to interpret gravity from such an angle. It must have been specially crafted for you, right?" Li Qi said.

"That's true." The Sky Swallowing Demon Lord put his shirt back on and said with a smile, his face still changing with every blink.

Li Qi nodded, then cupped his hands in greeting. "Then I won't see you off, Demon Lord. The Green Mountain God is just outside the World Barrier. Take care."

"Then I'll take my leave first," the Sky Swallowing Demon Lord said politely, and then disappeared from the spot.

After the World Barrier clearly indicated that a terrifyingly powerful figure had left, Li Qi suddenly squatted down.

His eyes were bloodshot! His mind suddenly emitted extreme heat, like the moment a steam engine turns on its boiler. His inner world was thrown into chaos, and his Primordial Spirit was damaged!

The Primordial Spirit is not the soul, but the first spirit that Li Qi condensed within his Inner Gods, and also his information processing center.

Analyzing even the principles of a fifth-grade formation is a heavy burden for Li Qi.

Fortunately, just now, in front of the Sky Swallowing Demon Lord, he drank a whole jar of Penglai Immortal Tea as if it were free, suppressing his injuries through this miraculous treasure and preventing him from showing weakness in front of the Sky Swallowing Demon Lord.

In this way, from the perspective of the Sky Swallowing Demon Lord, he really was just 'looking' at it.

Let's leave it at that for now.

As for the Green Mountain God...

Even the Sovereign of Lingxiao Kingdom could suppress the Five Aggregates Demonic Blood, so Li Qi didn't think the Sky Swallowing Demon Lord would be helpless.

The Five Aggregates Demonic Blood merely adds a fifth-rank control method. This is like placing a chip on the scales, exchanging the Green Mountain God for a piece, and giving the Sky Swallowing Demon Lord the illusion that there is a 'third fifth-rank'.

But this doesn't mean Li Qi is prepared to let the other party go. He has already sent a message to Zhong Minglou through the terminal, asking him to do him a favor and use his connections in Wushen Mountain to send a message to the Green Mountain Kingdom Lord.

Given the conflict of interests between the Green Mountain Kingdom Lord and the Green Mountain God, a decisive outcome is inevitable this time.

Green Mountain is a blessed land from all over the world, a pure mountain of metal, which naturally produces innate metal energy every once in a while. It is impossible for the Green Mountain Kingdom Lord not to covet it.

But that has nothing to do with Li Qi.

If Green Mountain God can survive, then he deserves to live, Li Qi will no longer pursue him.

If he dies, it will be Green Mountain Kingdom Lord, and it has nothing to do with Li Qi.

As Li Qi was cooling down, Shen Shuibi rushed out of the room behind him, hugged him, and gathered Taiyin Qi in her hands to infuse Li Qi's Primordial Spirit, protecting his thoughts.

Li Qi pressed his face against his chest, coughed, and said, "I've obtained the principles of the array diagram... cough, with your array skills, you should be able to reproduce it as long as you find the materials."

Yes, the Sky Swallowing Demon Lord was right.

It would definitely require a master of formations to replicate it.

But coincidentally, there was one right next to Li Qi.

The rabbits' array formation skills are quite impressive. With the data provided by Li Qi, they can deduce an array that may not be as useful as the Sky Swallowing Demon Lord's, but it is still sufficient.

In this way, collecting the world groups becomes just a matter of physical labor.

Yang Ning had also rushed out together, but when she saw Shen Shuibi holding Li Qi in her arms, she covered her eyes, her expression pained, and simply transformed into a small golden-red bird, flying into the sky.

I really don't want to say a word.

I wish I could set this place on fire.

Unfortunately, it cannot be burned.

Gas.

Several Chen have passed.

At this moment, the Sky Swallowing Demon Lord had already taken away the Green Mountain God and found Jin Buhuan.

However, just as they appeared in the outer realm, Jin Buhuan said in a panic, "Demon Lord! Demon Lord! I just remembered something!"

"What is it? Oh, right, my dear nephew, your father is here. Don't worry, he's just been hit by an enemy's curse and can't move for the time being. But I know an expert who is good at this, and he'll recover soon." The Sky Swallowing Demon Lord placed the motionless Jin Chi next to Jin Buhuan.

However, Jin Buhuan's first reaction was not to help his father up, but to immediately use Technique Method to outline the shape and properties of a token, and hurriedly said, "Demon Lord! I only remembered after I left you! That Li Qi, that Li Qi, he has a Great Shaman Token!"

The Sky Swallowing Demon Lord, who had been smiling gently, froze upon hearing this. He vanished instantly and reappeared before Jin Buhuan, his expression cold. He grabbed Jin Buhuan's collar and gritted his teeth, saying, "Why didn't you say so before?!"

Jin Buhuan wore a mournful expression and answered tremblingly, "I... forgot, I forgot."

This answer almost made the Sky Swallowing Demon Lord faint with anger.

However, the Sky Swallowing Demon Lord was not one to be blinded by anger. In just a moment, he realized that Jin Buhuan was definitely not the kind of person who would forget important things.

In other words...

He fell for it; was it the work of that seventh-rank Shaman?

"Nephew, I'm afraid you've also fallen under his evil spell. He probably made you forget on purpose, and then deliberately made you remember at this moment." The Sky Swallowing Demon Lord sighed and said this.

Jin Buhuan's face turned ashen after being reminded.

He realized what was happening.

The Sky Swallowing Demon Lord pondered the matter more deeply and quickly arrived at his answer.

This was a trap. If Jin Buhuan had come with the message of the Great Shaman Token, given the nature of the Sky Swallowing Demon Lord, he would never have gone, and thus his goal would not have been achieved.

Then, revealing the matter of the Great Shaman Token at this moment would allow him to remain out in the shadows, hundreds of millions of miles away, easily dispelling the Sky Swallowing Demon Lord's idea of seeking revenge from his backer.

That's a brilliant plan.

"Never mind, this person is probably a disciple of Great Shaman, which makes him a genuine young master of Wushen Mountain. Such a status is enough to put him on par with me. Even if I go to my master, he might not be willing to offend a Great Shaman." The Sky Swallowing Demon Lord shook his head and then said, "Nephew, think carefully and see if you can reproduce more details. Let me see the details of this token and determine which Great Shaman made this thing."

Jin Buhuan readily agreed and then carefully reproduced the appearance of the token bit by bit.

The Sky Swallowing Demon Lord beside him also began to recall based on the characteristics and aura.

However, when he was halfway through building it, he suddenly remembered something.

Hundreds of years ago, my teacher told me about an anecdote that happened in Penglai.

A Great Shaman from Wushen Mountain openly stole three Penglai Immortal Tea Trees, angering several Earth Immortals who pursued him for decades. In the end, it was only through the intervention of the elders of both sides that the matter was resolved.

He had heard of that Great Shaman before; he was a notorious playboy who wandered the world, acted eccentrically and capriciously, and had extremely poor interpersonal relationships. Even within the Wushen Mountain, many people disliked him. He acted without regard for the consequences, yet he still lived a carefree life to this day. He had caused many troubles, but the Witch God always helped clean up the mess. There were rumors that he was extremely favored.

"Zhu San... and his disciple? That explains why they did such absurd things and even dared to join forces with the remnants of Mount Luofu. Perhaps this is the tradition of this sect: fooling around, being willful, and not knowing their own mortality." The Sky Swallowing Demon Lord muttered to himself.

This is also a warning; the reputation of this lineage has already prevented the Sky Swallowing Demon Lord from seeking revenge.

Don't argue with a madman; you'll only suffer losses. Right now, we've only lost one Sixth-Rank World. Taking a step back is nothing. If the other party tries to push their luck, then it's not too late to call for reinforcements.

But we also need to be prepared, lest this little madman really thinks he's the real Da Great Shaman and acts recklessly.

If that's really the case, then it's both rude and unreasonable. At that time, gathering people and taking over would be a legitimate reason, and I wouldn't be afraid of being accused of bullying the weak. If the other party's elders intervene, I'm not without my own sect.

Everything was planned out.

Immediately, the Sky Swallowing Demon Lord turned around and said, "Nephew, let's leave together. This place is not safe to stay any longer. Let's go first."

Jin Buhuan immediately nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

The Sky Swallowing Demon Lord put away Jin Buhuan and quickly escaped through the void, using gravity to increase his speed at an extremely fast pace, leaving this place.

Time passed gradually.

In the blink of an eye, half a year has passed.

The war in the Sacred Flame Realm has finally come to an end.

The disappearance of the Green Mountain God caused the army of believers to completely collapse. Without their leader and the divine magic bestowed by the Green Mountain God, they could not hold out for long under the offensive of Gaga, the Child of Destiny.

Gaga's record is also quite outrageous.

The opposing side also had a cunning strategist who set a trap, causing Gaga to be ambushed, run out of ammunition and food, and trapped in a desperate situation.

But Gaga led four thousand men to charge into the encirclement of five hundred thousand men. At that moment, the earth shook and a hurricane struck, a natural disaster tearing the enemy's formation apart.

Then, Gaga's charge, like a sharp knife, pierced through the opponent's defenses and ultimately led to victory.

With the help of natural disasters, favorable timing and location, and his use of military tactics to Soldier's Qi the army, he achieved unimaginable results.

Gaga rose to fame in one battle, finally standing out from the 'many warlords' and becoming a prominent figure in the Sacred Flame Realm. For a time, his enemies were terrified, and countless people came to join him.

He quickly became a figure similar to a 'Alliance Leader,' and his prestige and reputation grew day by day, becoming more and more magnificent each day. As the enemy was defeated one after another, the territory he ruled expanded.

In the span of half a year, he went from being a local warlord to experiencing many things: life and death, finding his true love among a group of beauties, and... learning about the death of an ancient Sacred King.

These events had a significant impact on him, but they also helped him grow.

Li Qi and Shen Shuibi watched all of this silently from behind.

Once the new Sacred King who made the agreement with them has grown up, the affairs of the Sacred Flame Realm will truly come to an end. It will then produce a continuous stream of Holy Flame to supply Li Qi's industrial chain.

Li Qi waited quietly for all of this to happen. Once it was done, the matter outside the territory would come to an end.
