Taking Command of the Executioner Squad
One discourse made Li Qi and Bo Yue suddenly realize that the other possessed qualities that they desperately needed.
The two, who had a tacit understanding, immediately opened up to each other and began to build the 'Light Cone' together.
All causes and effects, all time and space, are encompassed within the Light Cone.
Space and time are another manifestation of the law of causality.
This sermon lasted for three Chen.
The main problem was that there were too many things to do. There were still many things to do within the World Cluster Formation, and various pieces of information were piling up, making it impossible for the two of them to communicate properly.
Even just three Chen of preaching was enough to provide the two of them with very useful insights.
When it was over, the strange phenomena surrounding the two disappeared.
"... I feel like I've found my way to the fifth rank," Bo Yue said.
"I have also benefited greatly," Li Qi nodded.
Although he did not find the path to the fourth rank, Li Qi discovered that the backtracking was not insurmountable.
It's very simple, just escape the Light Cone.
If you're far from the war zone, this kind of thing naturally won't happen.
Moreover, he himself seems to be able to connect through the thread of cause and effect... no, it can't be called the thread of cause and effect anymore.
For Li Qi, cause and effect are no longer two-dimensional.
According to his previous thinking, one cause leads to many effects, but these causes and effects are linear.
The so-called linearity is essentially that a cause leads to an effect, just like a line that starts from point A and reaches point B.
After starting from point A on the line of cause and effect, there will be countless points behind you, but you must first reach point B before reaching point C, even if points B and C are infinitely close.
This is a relationship in time and space, a causal relationship in a plane, which is also the cause and effect that Li Qi previously believed in.
His previous "Heaven's Will" was essentially manipulating point A to point B, and then influencing point C, controlling subtle, butterfly-like effects, layer by layer.
But now, the situation is different.
When time is no longer consistent, when the 'cause' starts from point A, it can simultaneously reach an infinite number of points B.
These countless points B are not on a 'plane', but on a 'three-dimensional' surface.
Just like Light Cone, at the very top of the Light Cone, the point of light that originated from the initial point of light can emit countless rays of light, and on each ray of light, there is a point B.
In the past, a point of light emitted only one ray of light in a two-dimensional plane. But with the addition of a spatial and temporal dimension, the ray of light disperses in all directions, becoming countless rays.
It's like... a world line.
Starting from point A,
The so-called cutting, all backtracking, is about choosing the line you want from among the countless lines leading to point B.
The distance from point A to point B is infinitely close, and in a plane, this distance is unaffected.
No intervention, no calculation, not even Heaven's Will is needed; so-called Heaven's Will is itself a Lower Vehicle means.
What you perceive as Heaven's Will is no different from taking matters into your own hands, because once you start manipulating things, you're already in the thick of it.
It's like a person in a two-dimensional plane trying to manipulate things in that two-dimensional plane. Even if he can be omnipotent, he is completely unrelated to higher dimensions.
For beings in a higher dimension, it is only necessary to observe the countless causal lines extending from point A (the 'cause'), observe the infinite consequences they bring, and then choose one of them...
Intervening in the world is Lower Vehicle approach, a last resort, and a remedy when things have already happened and there's no other way.
What's truly impressive is choosing the right future.
The future holds countless possibilities; a single cause can lead to entirely different results at different times.
Because the future is infinite, so are the possibilities.
If you can't find the corresponding future, it just means you haven't seen the corresponding future.
Your ability to control the future depends solely on your ability to observe.
At this point, Li Qi suddenly realized something.
Going back in time is not about interference; the powerful may never have interfered with choices.
They go back in order to 'repeat the observation'.
Limited by their observational abilities, they had to observe again and again, going through the jumbled text printed by the monkeys one by one from among the infinite possibilities, to choose the Shakespeare they wanted.
This is a monkey typewriter.
If countless monkeys randomly type on countless typewriters for an infinite amount of time, then at some point they will inevitably type out the complete works of Shakespeare.
Yes, even a great man himself may not be able to write Shakespeare, but as long as there are countless monkey typewriters, there will always be a monkey that can type out the complete works of Shakespeare!
Li Qi took a deep breath, his pupils dilating in shock!
He realized once again why the Dao Lineage spread its teachings, why it paid attention to mortals, and why it actively maintained their living space and different living environments.
If the All-Powerful Ones wanted to, it would be very easy for them to turn the entire universe into a paradise of pleasure, but they still haven't done so.
That's because all worlds! All mortals! All life! All beings with advanced intelligence and self-awareness are 'monkey typewriters' kept by the powerful!
Even the most accomplished people don't know how to write a perfect work; they have no clue. But maybe a monkey did it?
Infinite time, infinite monkeys, infinite works, and even infinite replays!
Sooner or later, they will observe the complete works of Shakespeare.
Li Qi stared blankly at the sky.
He gained a completely new understanding of the universe.
Li Qi realized that this was a possible path for him to reach the third rank.
It's kind of funny; they don't even know what to do at the fourth rank, yet they've already figured out some clues on the path to the third rank.
But at this moment—
"Hey, hey?" At this moment, Bo Yue patted Li Qi on the shoulder. "Are you stupid? No way, you should have gained a lot, right?"
"No, I'm just too shocked... I think I've touched the edge of the third rank?" Li Qi looked at his palm, as if he saw some kind of 'choice' within it.
Bo Yue rolled his eyes. "Brother, do you want to check your own rank? Stop thinking about all that nonsense. Even if you get it, it's not something you can solve right now. I'll give you the 'Alliance' access, so get to work! We've been piling up stuff for three Chen already!"
"That's right, let's leave it at that for now, let's get to work." Li Qi smiled and then began to work.
Anyway, Bo Yue himself wasn't in a hurry to break through; he'd rather focus on the Human-Shaman War first.
He has realized it.
The powerful beings don't mind if a monkey becomes human, as long as the monkey is willing to share the complete works of Shakespeare. They will even help the monkey become human.
Then let's keep going.
With these thoughts in mind, Li Qi began to do his work.
The task of the Executioner Squad is actually quite difficult. As the current leader of the Executioner Squad, he is responsible for fighting against the strongmen of Human Path, restraining them, and giving the Shaman Path army time to carry out large-scale operations.
Otherwise, the Shaman Path's army would be easily restrained by Human Path, and they would be beaten to death by the dog-walking tactic without being able to fight back.
However, the number of members in the Executioner Squad is limited. He needs to assign specific tasks, distinguish the priorities among the countless requests for help, and determine which places should be supported and which places should be sent to their deaths.
Of course, the commander can also do this, and he is only responsible for execution.
However, the commander was Bo Yue, Bo Yue was busy dealing with the three Chen of accumulated tasks from the previous rituals, so he simply handed these matters over to Li Qi.
He trusted Li Qi's abilities, so he didn't hide anything and simply gave him the authority to form an alliance.
Therefore, within the alliance, Li Qi quickly reviewed the current manpower of the Executioner Squad.
The answer is that there was no one left. Some were dead, some were wounded, and not a single one was able to maintain combat effectiveness.
They can only rely on him and Shen Shuibi.
Um...
But, it's fine too.
Let's leave Li Shiwei with Bo Yue; children shouldn't participate in the war.
"Then let them recover properly. I've assessed the situation, and the two of us are enough," Li Qi said to Bo Yue as he stood up.
"Huh? Just the two of you? That's a whole team's worth." Bo Yue frowned.
"It's alright, just help me take care of the child." Li Qi smiled and then left.
He and Shen Shuibi are enough.
Two months have passed in the blink of an eye.
Li Shiwei raised her head and gazed at the gray sky.
This is a desolate world, long since dead. Now it is the command center of Bo Yue, the war zone commander. Here, he issues orders to the outside world through formations and the 'alliance,' formulating tactical strategies that can affect billions of worlds.
Li Shiwei stared blankly at the sky. She was very quiet and used to staying in the safe rear.
Her mind was racing.
Hmm... no matter how I think about it, I feel that my father has a lot on his mind.
But it doesn't seem to be a problem. Her father was always preoccupied, and in Li Shiwei's memory, he never had a moment of relaxation.
Even during times of family joy, he would always find time to drift into a daze by himself.
Mother said that Father was thinking.
Is there really that much to think about? That's what Li Shiwei used to think.
However, when the Human-Shaman War broke out, she watched the various news coming from the front lines from all over the world. Suddenly one day, she found herself, like her father, always falling into deep thought without realizing it.
So this is what adults think.
Since that day, Li Shiwei began to adopt her father's habits. She gradually changed from being lively to preferring to be alone and daydream.
After a long period of blank staring and many trials in the Buddhist Kingdom, she finally made up her mind and found the Demon Prince.
What happened next was quite natural; she and the Demon Prince arrived in the outer realms.
Through her, the Demon Prince located Li Qi's position, successfully joined the battle, and ultimately helped his father turn the tide.
To be honest, she is very proud of this achievement.
But after that, my father was summoned by the Ranked Shaman and disappeared for more than three hundred years.
Over the course of more than three hundred years, Li Shiwei and Shen Shuibi actually went through a lot of things.
For a mother, these things might not seem like much; they're just ordinary moments.
But Li Shiwei herself had truly spent 150 years honing her skills on the Outer Domain Battlefield; she had fought for 150 years.
For the little rascal, these were a difficult and cruel 150 years.
She killed no fewer than five thousand people.
It is Human Path 'person'.
If it's just the lives killed, the number would probably be in the millions; as for the deaths she witnessed, she couldn't possibly count them.
Wars have spread to countless worlds...
How can I describe that scene?
Li Shiwei felt she couldn't describe it.
As far as the eye can see, the entire world is submerged in war.
When traveling to the front lines aboard World-Class Giant Ship, this is how it is, wherever the light reaches.
For a seventh-rank official, this scene was far too spectacular and cruel.
Li Shiwei made many friends, many of whom were the kind of friends who would go through thick and thin with her, even more so than Zhang You back then, with whom she could entrust her life to each other.
Only...
They're all dead.
No one survived.
Li Shiwei herself almost died. She survived because Shen Shuibi made a choice at that time, abandoning the outcome of an important battlefield without hesitation, and transferred to the battlefield where Li Shiwei was, saving her.
At that time, Shen Shuibi sacrificed the destruction of three worlds and the deaths of countless people to save Li Shiwei's life.
Shen Shuibi naturally paid the price, but the benefit was that Li Shiwei no longer tried to participate in the war.
She's just like she is now, hiding in the safe rear.
"Sigh..." Li Shiwei sighed.
It's so frustrating. This feeling of helplessness is so overwhelming. I know my parents are both having worries, but I can't do anything to help them.
In fact, the only way to Anxin them is to squat in the back and do nothing, which is better for everyone.
Li Shiwei is no longer a child.
She is an immortal who has experienced life and death and has lived longer than many others.
But it remains the same.
This world is so big.
Just then, the jade pendant at Li Shiwei's waist jingled. "Boss, the battle report for this time is here."
"Okay, thank you, Shi Tou." Li Shiwei nodded.
Stone, Li Shiwei's childhood playmate and Law Treasure.
He is now at the seventh rank, and his speed of advancing to the sixth rank is astonishing. It seems that once he discovers all of his inherent nature, he will be able to advance to the sixth rank naturally.
After that, his talent couldn't help him anymore; he had to rely on himself to walk his own path.
Li Shiwei picked up the latest battle report, which was directly supplied by the command headquarters and was much more detailed than what was available outside. It was very useful.
The little brat quickly scrolled to the Executioner Squad's page.
Annihilate four fifth-rank Human Path armies...
Thirty-six fifth-rank combatants were destroyed, allowing the six thousand worlds on the front lines to catch their breath.
General Jin Rui, a fifth-rank Human Path, was captured alive by Li Qi.
Ah...
It's only been two months, and my parents have already done so much.
Am I really their child?
Is their blood flowing through your veins?
"I'm so useless."
A voice resounded in Li Shiwei's heart.
Wait... is that my own voice?
