Star-Making Fountain, War Fortress
Li Qi and Shen Shuibi immediately got up and rushed towards the heavens.
Then, they witnessed an astonishing scene.
Beyond the Heart Mansion—
A curtain of light stretched across the sky, and even tens of thousands of light-years away, it remained clearly visible, demonstrating its presence to the heavens through some strange teleportation.
The countless worlds that stretched across the sky, numbering at least trillions, were cut in half by a bright light.
Li Qi seemed to see sparks flying everywhere, countless worlds being torn apart in an instant, all the matter within them being condensed together, and thus, a gigantic star was born and burned.
This was the most spectacular star-making event Li Qi had ever witnessed; however, for the life forms in those world groups, it was a catastrophe.
Under this action at a distance, Li Qi could clearly see that after the infinite world was broken down, it formed a series of vortex-like structures, just like... galaxies.
Those are galaxies, or rather, Milky Way, hundreds of billions of Milky Way!
This process is like a fountain spraying colorful water, except that what comes out are stars.
Those light bands continued to spread, seemingly dividing the outer realm into several pieces. Li Qi could see that many world structures had collapsed and all had become raw materials used in the star-making process.
These stars, which should have evolved gradually over billions of years, were compressed into a single minute, completing all of this in a rapid manner.
This is the most extravagant fireworks display in all the heavens.
In a very short time, the outer void was filled with the remains of worlds.
This is... a world where the lines are clearly drawn.
Beyond that band of light, on Li Qi's side, the world and the world cluster continued to operate as before, without being altered in the slightest.
Within that band of light, on the Human Path, except for a few worlds, all other worlds collapsed. The ejected matter formed a complex network structure that filled the space. Flashes caused by gravitational fusion surged forth, with different colors indicating different levels of explosion. Even the Void Realm was forming one by one.
The vibrant colors and the band of light complemented each other, creating a chaotic scene that appeared strangely bizarre within the orderly band of light.
What a magnificent sight!
In the vast emptiness, these galaxies resembled a bizarre octopus encased in its eerie golden band of light, captivating Li Qi with their strange beauty.
"This is... a defensive line?" Li Qi stared blankly, muttering as he looked at the band of light that spanned billions of light-years in an instant.
This is a defensive line, a defensive line forged with the 'Great Way'.
Take one step, and you'll find yourself facing entirely different Principle of physics.
Human Path! It has distorted the physical Principle of the entire universe!
That band of light is a huge, static front line that cuts through the entire universe, splitting it in two!
By directly interfering with the physical properties on a large scale in the universe, Human Path has forcibly divided the battlefield into two parts, and the place where the two sides meet is the battlefield.
Human Path created a brand new universe and used that band of light as a boundary to divide the warring regions!
Because the Great Dao was completely altered, the world there collapsed. Only the worlds that are qualified to maintain their own Dao can guarantee that the Dao principles will not be torn apart by the alteration of the Human Path!
Li Qi could see that the closest light band to him, the light band of the Heart Mansion, was about tens of thousands of light-years away.
That was the front line, where the enemy they would have to face was located.
But at this moment, Li Qi suddenly felt something trying to crawl into his brain!
However, this thing doesn't seem to have any malicious intent.
This led Li Qi to accept the offer.
In that instant of acceptance, he felt as if his consciousness was leading to some... strange place.
Time and space merge into one here.
Infinite cosmic light converges here, and countless thoughts begin to circulate. The cosmic light varies depending on the space in which they reside.
Li Qi saw more people than stars. They moved swiftly through this strange and complex place, moving like gods and leaving Li Qi far behind.
Then, a message came through, and Li Qi suddenly understood where he was.
This is... the Staff Department.
The Staff Department controlled by Zhu Fengdan.
This was the technique Li Qi first learned to perform rituals and communicate with spirits and deities. He had also used this method in the Earth Oil Realm.
This is an alliance presided over by Shaman, which will extend to all the heavens and the infinite worlds of the entire universe!
In this way, all the warriors can be connected, and everyone can get first-hand information. This method is in no way inferior to that of the Nexus of All Realms.
As a staff officer, he needs to be constantly connected to this place, becoming a 'cog' in it. He will receive orders here and then carry them out in reality.
Alternatively, he could use this space to conduct real-time, long-range strategic exchanges with other staff officers and even superiors, regardless of how distorted the external spacetime is or how much the difference in the Cosmic Time flow rate is.
All the results of the discussions, the intelligence contributed, and the suggestions made by everyone here will be gathered in the hands of the 'General', who will make the final decision.
For the first time, he realized with profound clarity—war had broken out.
Then, before he could speak, information about the Heart Mansion, seen by others, entered his mind.
This is not just textual information, but comprehensive information that includes visual, auditory, tactile, and other sensory elements, making it almost as if you were there in person.
Having received the previous instructions, Li Qi understood that this was information given to him by others, and that he could also collect and upload intelligence, which would then be distributed to others by his superiors.
But that's for later; at this moment, Li Qi was already absorbed in the information he was receiving.
That is...
Near the Heart Mansion, in the Human Way area within the stars opposite.
In that place, after those worlds were torn apart, the remnants were condensed into a single entity by the Technique Method of a powerful Human Path being, transforming into tens of thousands of stars.
Tens of thousands of suns, and then—they all collapsed! Then the bright radiance turned into profound darkness.
All the light was absorbed, all the energy was taken away, and then injected into the new formation.
As the heat decreased, the absorbed energy suddenly exploded in another place, and then, a Human Way city appeared out of nowhere!
With a deafening roar, the city directly suppressed countless areas outside the region, turning the front line into an iron wall!
Gansong, a city in the Tang Kingdom!
Li Qi then gained a global perspective, a direct observation from Wushen Mountain.
Different perspectives, different locations, and perhaps even different times—all this intelligence reached Li Qi simultaneously, helping him make a decision.
Through Wushen Mountain's perspective, Li Qi was able to instantly understand what had happened.
In the Central Plains region, where Human Path resides—
Those human cities, from capitals and prefectures to county towns, were dismantled one by one.
The cities, assembled entirely from Law Treasure artifacts, now played their design role, Golden Platform swiftly teleported them to their designated locations.
Nearly half of the area on the Human Path became empty land, and the other half was teleported to many battlefields in the outer void.
Human Path involved dismantling cities from the land and distributing them to various locations as hubs of war!
Li Qi, on the other hand, will have to face Gan Song.
Then, these Human Way city that had been transferred from the world to beyond began to shrink and change their form, unfolding into colossal Law Treasure cities floating in the void! They were even continuing to expand their reach, devouring all the temporarily formed stars and the remnants of those worlds!
One by one, round spheres flew out from the center of the giant city; it was the complete production line of Law Treasure.
These spheres, like siphons, devour stars. Suns are swallowed up by spheres a few feet in size within minutes, and then magical Law Treasure emerge from them, rapidly assembling under the control of Human Path cultivators.
What was originally a city of only a thousand miles in size quickly expanded into a massive War Fortress spanning millions of miles due to this rapid expansion.
Moreover, this is only the center; the edges continue to spread, seemingly building majestic passes across the stars in the void, using these as a foundation to slowly play with the Shaman Path.
Human Path war potential has now been fully transformed into war power!
As for those worlds that were destroyed?
When two sides are besieging a city, isn't it normal for the attacking side to cut down trees and dig stones next to the city to make war machines?
When cutting down trees to build catapults for the army, or when cooking over a fire, one doesn't need to consider the thoughts of the ants under the tree roots, nor the thoughts of the tree itself.
These worlds are like trees that have been cut down, and the life within them is like ants in the tree roots.
Perhaps these worlds knew nothing at all; their worlds simply vanished abruptly, and they themselves disappeared in an instant.
Fortunately, Human Path hands are quite efficient, and the procedure is usually painless.
Li Qi even saw a pitiful, unlucky fellow through the information that was being transmitted at this moment.
His world had just broken through the world barrier and embarked on its first exploration beyond the realm. That astronaut... I guess that's the right way to address him. Anyway, he was the one who carried the hopes and glory of the entire civilization as he stepped into the void. He would probably return to his world after traveling beyond the realm for a few days, receiving praise and recognition from the whole world, becoming the 'first person to step out beyond the realm' recorded in history, and being remembered by the entire civilization.
But when he woke up in the spaceship and looked back, he found that... his world was gone.
It's like an astronaut waking up to find that the Earth is gone.
Putting aside the unfortunate fellow, Li Qi quickly snapped out of his sensory daze and looked towards the horizon.
"I'm all ready. Now... I'm leaving this to you." Shen Shuibi said to Li Qi as he came back from his daze.
"Keep in touch, I'll keep an eye on things over there." Li Qi nodded.
"Don't worry, with my abilities, I can protect myself as long as it's not a fourth-rank official. But you... remember to send Shiwei away," Shen Shuibi instructed.
We've had enough of these centuries of peace; now it's time to face what we need to face.
"Send them away... where should we send them?" Li Qi sighed.
Is there any place in the myriad realms that is safe right now? In the endless outer realms, where can one escape unscathed?
It is said to be an endless realm, vast and boundless, but where can one find peace amidst the direct conflict between the two major Dao Lineage?
Shen Shuibi calmly said, "Send her back to the world. No matter what, the war won't spread to the world. However... I'm not at ease keeping her on Wushen Mountain. Let's send her to the Western Heaven Buddhist Kingdom. At least there, the problem won't be too big. You have a grudge against the Heavenly Demon. It's hard to guarantee that the Heavenly Demon won't take advantage of the fact that the Wushen are not focused on interfering with the outside world to attack her and affect you."
Yes, Li Qi and the Heavenly Demon still have a grudge. They were fine before because of the protection of the Witch God. The Wushen Mountain kept a close eye on them, and the Heavenly Demon paid a heavy price for his attacks several times. It was so bad that even the Great Earth Shamanic God shook his head in dismay.
Now that the entire Wushen Mountain is joining the battle, the Wushen will be facing the saints of Human Path. The battle will be so intense that it will be difficult for them to spare any time to protect the younger generation.
The demons might inevitably make a move, so it's better to send them to the Buddhist realm for Anxin. At least the Buddhas won't just stand by and watch the demons cause trouble.
"Alright, then let's send her to the Buddhist Kingdom. It's a good thing to let her have some peace." Li Qi nodded, finalizing Li Shiwei's itinerary.
The couple's only worry was their child. As long as they took good care of her, Li Qi and Shen Shuibi could devote themselves wholeheartedly to the battle.
"Then I'll go to the front lines to make preparations. We've already set up the array for this world group, waiting in comfort for hundreds of years. We certainly can't Human Path finish setting up the array so easily. You should also receive orders soon to organize the first wave of attacks, so let's make the preparations in advance," Shen Shuibi said.
After saying that, she didn't linger any longer and quickly headed towards the border, towards the place where the band of light was located.
Without further ado, Li Qi immediately activated the array plate.
The world-class formation that he and Shen Shuibi had spent hundreds of years setting up was activated at this moment!
As we all know, the world order is in flux.
Countless worlds travel through the outer void at speeds of thousands of miles per second.
Many civilizations would be amazed to learn this, because so many worlds, distributed in different directions, are all moving, yet all facing the same direction, creating a kind of relative stillness between them, making it seem as if they are spinning in circles.
In this vast universe, countless worlds flow like moths to a flame, circling and spinning, day after day, year after year, and perhaps hundreds of millions of years later, they will return to their original starting point.
However, a problem arises.
The moths, named 'World,' are spinning around. What is the flame they are surrounding?
In the Heart Mansion, the answer is 'Great Fire', and all worlds revolve around Great Fire, never ceasing.
At this moment, Li Qi changed the answer.
The entire world suddenly changed direction, as if a once quiet vortex had been suddenly broken!
The world begins to fall into chaos, and then a new order is formed!
At this very moment, the instant the array was activated, the moths called 'World' swirled around a candle flame that transformed from Great Fire into Li Qi!
