Human Path Descends, the Beginning of the Great War

Not everyone is like the Sky Swallowing Demon Lord.

Even though the Baiyue Sovereign are looked down upon throughout the world, they could defeat 99% of the fifth-rank warriors from beyond the borders.

However, it would take the combined efforts of many fifth- Baiyue to suppress it.

This is only suppression, because... in reality, even if all the Baiyue Sovereign were combined, they could not possibly defeat the Sky Swallowing Demon Lord.

The Sky Swallowing Demon Lord is a true figure with top-tier inheritance, entrusted with important responsibilities by the demonic path, and capable of serving as a thorn in the side of the Shaman Path in the Baiyue region.

As for Shen Shuibi, at that time, she was evenly matched with the Sky Swallowing Demon Lord, and even won a small victory in the end thanks to Li Qi's scheme.

Rabbit is usually gentle and weak, but she is a genuine second-grade parent-child, a legitimate successor of the Daoist sect.

However, even if the Sky Swallowing Demon Lord himself came, he could not possibly achieve this result.

The reason she achieved this result was simply because... Shen Shuibi studied it.

You see, the rabbit of the past didn't like fighting, nor was she good at it. She was a researcher who liked to ponder Yin-Yang trigrams and alchemy. It was her nature, after all, there has been a saying since ancient times about "the Jade Rabbit Pounding Medicine".

However, she had known for nearly a hundred years that she was about to go to war.

Even a rabbit can feel a sense of urgency. Over the years, she has prepared many Trump Cards for herself, and even prepared to self-destruct her golden core.

Therefore, she also began her own special training in combat, and even practiced with Yang Ning many times. Under the special training of Yang Ning, a fighting expert, Rabbit's progress was rapid.

She was naturally good at learning and thinking, and now she simply channeled these qualities into combat.

And now, this is the result of her special training.

An ordinary fifth-rank soldier, if she manages to catch him off guard, is no match for her.

As it happened, Li Qi was most skilled at finding people's weaknesses, so within seconds of meeting, the heads of the two fifth-rank officials had already been cut off.

It was precisely because Shadow Moon Cold Teeth realized this that he hurriedly fled.

Unfortunately, he was not as fast as Shen Shuibi, and... Li Qi could detect his trail and track him along the way, so no matter how he changed direction, he could not shake off Shen Shuibi.

But--

"Wait... wait for me to catch my breath." Li Qi clutched his chest, exhausted, his eyes bloodshot, steam rising from his head.

Intervening in the battles and pursuits of fifth-rank officials was still too much of a burden for him.

Although the battle lasted only a few seconds, the information that flooded in during those few seconds had already overwhelmed his brain. He had to temporarily use his Primordial Spirit to take over thinking, which was how he withstood the information flow that was like a galaxy pouring in from behind. He successfully reported his background to Shen Shuibi, helping the rabbit find the opponent's weakness in an instant and achieve the feat of instantly killing two people of the same level.

Then, he was in a daze, trying to repair his brain while searching for clues, and he still hasn't recovered.

Just as Shadow Moon Cold Teeth was about to say something, she saw the graceful fairy over there put her finger to her lips and shush.

He shivered, stopped his explanation, and listened carefully to what the other person had to say.

But then the fairy said, "Don't speak... wait until he finishes."

Shadow Moon Cold Teeth immediately felt a surge of embarrassment and anger. How could he, a dignified fifth-rank official, wait for a dead dog-like sixth-rank official to speak?

But for the sake of his life, he suppressed his anger and waited for the sixth-rank official to catch his breath.

As for Li Qi, he kept trying to say something, but his brain, which had turned to mush, couldn't support him to continue speaking. If this were a battle, even a seventh-rank soldier could probably chop him up right now.

Fortunately, he had ample time to adjust under these circumstances.

Soon, about fifteen minutes later, he regenerated a brain, filling the original gap, restoring the small world within his body to its fullness, and restoring his thinking ability.

"Ahem." Li Qi coughed twice and shook his head. "Um... Shadow Moon Cold Teeth, right? Are you willing to surrender?"

"We are willing to surrender! We are willing to surrender!" Shadow Moon Cold Teeth said hurriedly, without the slightest hesitation.

He still has many things left to do, he still has pursuits on his Dao Path, and he has unfinished business to complete. He cannot die.

As a fifth-rank official, life was no longer his primary pursuit. If he could complete his entire Dao Path in an instant and reach the end, he would be willing to die the next second.

If I hear the Way in the morning, I can die content in the evening.

However, life is essential for the pursuit of the Way; without life, one cannot continue to move forward.

Therefore, he can compromise on anything as long as it doesn't go against his own Dao heart.

Unless the other party asks him to do something against his Dao heart, such as forcing him to immediately become a demon, he will definitely fight to the death and never give in, even if it means death.

However, surrendering is merely a matter of preserving one's life, which is equivalent to preserving the opportunity to pursue the Way.

There is nothing that cannot be given up in the face of the 'Tao'.

Preserving one's life is for the sake of Pursuing the Dao in the future.

Giving up one's life is to uphold the present way; these two actions are no different, ultimately both for the same purpose.

"Ahem, since you're willing to surrender, then tell me who's behind this? With your meager courage, you shouldn't dare to do such a thing. What did Human Path promise you that made you willing to stay here and be a nail in the coffin?" Li Qi asked.

Shadow Moon Cold Teeth didn't hide anything; things had come to this point, and there was no way to hide it anymore.

However, he secretly glanced at Shen Shuibi.

That's too strong...

Moreover, it seems she is from the same clan; she is also a moon spirit, only much purer than I am.

As a demon, Shadow Moon Cold Teeth is named this, so it is naturally a type of moon spirit. However, it is not a pure moon spirit of extremely high quality, because there are only two kinds of pure moon spirits.

Jade Rabbit, Silver Toad.

However, I am a demon, while the other party is a Daoist priest, and... why is he so pure?

The first generation under heaven?

That's very possible.

There are differences between different moon essences. A moon essence from a Ninth Rank World is naturally different from the moon essences of the world. Moon essences can also reproduce, but there will be differences between moon essences that are naturally conceived and those that are reproduced.

The so-called "first generation under heaven" refers to the essence of the moon directly generated from the moon's eclipse, and is the kind with the best birth.

However, what Shadow Moon Cold Teeth didn't expect was that Shen Shuibi was not actually the so-called first generation.

She wasn't even born of the Yin energy of the world; she was far more terrifying than that.

She was directly differentiated from the body of a powerful being, and directly inherited the True Yin True Intention of the Sun Moon True Lead Cauldron and Lady Luofu.

Second-class parent-child relationship, and the kind that promotes eugenics and healthy parenting.

If Li Qi hadn't stumbled upon that once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, he probably would never have had the chance to say a single word to the other person in his entire life.

However, there's no need to explain anything to Shadow Moon Cold Teeth, since they won't have much interaction anyway.

Shadow Moon Cold Teeth only glanced at it before revealing their entire plan.

Initially, it was Wang Wu who noticed the departure of Human Path and the expansion of Shaman Path.

Then, he keenly sensed that this was an opportunity, a tremendous opportunity, that might even help Bin Kuang and him truly join Human Path.

That's why he planned all this, intending to use it to Human Path favor with others afterwards.

After hearing these things, Li Qi was stunned.

"No, you... no wonder you were expelled by Human Path." After hearing this, Li Qi rubbed his forehead and sighed.

Shen Shuibi also shook her head slightly.

How did someone cultivate such decisiveness to the fifth rank?

Looking at Li Qi and Shen Shuibi's expressions, Shadow Moon Cold Teeth, somewhat puzzled, "Is there a problem?"

"You will not receive any reward for doing this, nor will you be accepted by Human Path," Li Qi said. "Because you simply do not understand the pride of Human Path. They call themselves 'orthodox' and 'supreme' throughout the world, and they regard the other eight directions as barbaric lands. What kind of mentality is that?"

"Human Path voluntarily withdraws from here, then they won't leave any obstacles. If they were determined to come in, Envoy Pang would have already laid traps for you from the start. Although the Tang Kingdom is domineering and unreasonable, it has always been upright and honorable, and will never break its promises. If Envoy Pang says he's leaving, he will definitely leave cleanly," Li Qi said.

The Tang Kingdom was domineering, but while they were domineering, they would only face difficulties and challenges head-on, and would not resort to underhanded tactics. Even the Military School who liked "all's fair in war" and the School of Names who always "distorted the truth" might use conspiracies against their enemies, but once they truly promised to leave, they would definitely not leave any of them behind.

To think that you can gain Human Path recognition in this way is wishful thinking.

With that kind of mentality, it would be strange if they weren't kicked out.

"Besides those few world groups that you've secured, you must have secretly planted spies and mobs in other worlds as lookouts. Save your trouble. Even if Human Path comes, they won't accept any help from these spies." Li Qi said, shaking his head.

"That's it. I thought you received a promise of Human Path, but it turns out you volunteered to lead the way... What a waste of time." Li Qi shook his head.

If that's all there is to it, then there's really no need to worry so much before the war even starts, let alone invite Shen Shuibi...

So, ignoring the other person, Li Qi and Shen Shuibi turned around and left.

Only Shadow Moon Cold Teeth stared in astonishment at the departing Shaman Path envoy. At this moment, he must have already guessed Li Qi's identity.

However, he still couldn't figure out why the other party thought he was stupid, or even wasting his time.

No matter how he thought about it, planting nails here was a completely beneficial thing for Human Path, so why shouldn't he be accepted? This was where his interests lay!

Why refuse the meat that's practically in your mouth and insist on going head-to-head with the Shaman Path? What's the point of suffering so many casualties?

Moreover, not to mention Human Path, even the Shaman Path firmly believed that Human Path would do so, without any doubt.

Aren't they afraid that Human Path might suddenly change its strategy and deal a heavy blow to Shaman Path?

Are these Dao Lineage... really thinking differently from them? This clearly doesn't violate the bottom line of Human Path. The Human Path he understands involves using conspiracies, and not just conspiracies, they've secretly manipulated things behind the scenes quite a few times.

Why Human Path do what it does, yet now it's clear that the higher powers refuse to accept them? And even the Shaman Path acknowledge this.

Could it be that... my understanding of Human Path is flawed?

Shadow Moon Cold Teeth fell into self-doubt.

But Li Qi ignored him.

The last obstacle to the world group has been cleared. I thought the other party knew something, but it turns out they knew nothing. Human Path and worked for humanity, Human Path probably didn't even know about it.

Then so be it. Under the general trend, nothing can be stirred up.

Li Qi and the rabbit left.

After that, it was just another ordinary day.

Because they had done everything they could, all that remained was to continue learning, consolidating their knowledge, and quietly awaiting the arrival of war.

To be honest, Li Qi was a little nervous at first.

Waiting is the most agonizing thing, especially when you know that what you're waiting for could be fatal.

For a terminally ill patient, the night before a high-risk surgery will feel incredibly long.

However, fortunately, he had a rabbit by his side, so he was able to relax.

This time, the two did not separate again, but prepared to quietly wait for three or four hundred years to pass until the day the war began.

A lot happened in between.

For example, her daughter came back many times. About twenty years after Li Qi and Rabbit got engaged, Li Shiwei came back.

She has reached the seventh rank, attained immortality, has a firm Dao heart, and a clear mind, which is much better than before. Even the stone hanging on her body has reached the seventh rank.

She had also heard about Zhang You's situation, but it was a pity that the outer realms were so vast, and she didn't know where to find this friend to explain things to her.

Li Qi was very happy and gave her a proper celebration.

Li Shiwei stayed at home for a while this time, and was taught Technique Method and Divine Ability by Li Qi and Shen Shuibi, which greatly improved her combat power. Shen Shuibi was still not at ease, so she also gave her a set of divine talismans as Trump Card.

Li Shiwei didn't want it at first, but she couldn't resist her mother's love and ended up accepting it.

Li Qi was too lazy to bother with all that. He just smiled and, like Zhu Fengdan before, personally wrote a book composed of 600,000 Technique Method, condensed it into Divine Will Inheritance, and let her go down and learn it herself.

Back then, Zhu Fengdan told Li Qi to learn on his own, and then she walked back to Wushen Mountain from Baiyue. Li Qi thought she was very irresponsible.

Only now does he realize that writing a step-by-step manual of magical Technique Method for someone is actually quite difficult; at the very least, it requires a complete understanding of the other person.

Often, it's only when we grow up that we understand the good intentions of our teachers.

After that, Li Shiwei began her own cycle: going away for decades, then returning home for a few years, each time gaining new insights and making progress.

Li Qi and Shen Shuibi would occasionally spend time in the world and then in the Heart Mansion, building the super array of the world cluster, improving their cultivation, and learning Technique Method.

A loving couple, well-behaved children, and a harmonious family—what a wonderful life!

But Zhu Fengdan never appeared again, and Li Qi guessed... she might have gone to attend to something important.

After all, war is about to break out.

More than four hundred years have passed since then.

One day at noon, Li Qi and Shen Shuibi suddenly stood up.

The next moment, all the heavens and myriad realms trembled!

The stars in the sky were torn apart! A magnificent, resounding melody echoed!
