Li Qi's Experiences
While Li Shiwei was resting in Bo Yue, Li Qi was constantly fighting outside.
Time flies.
In the center of a battlefield outside the territory.
Li Qi watched the charging Shaman Path and soldiers.
To be precise, it is not Shaman Path, but a world under the jurisdiction of Shaman Path.
This world is a fifth-grade world, and the world's ruler... in Li Qi's eyes, is not a good person.
At this moment, the ruler of this world was beside Li Qi, watching his people launch a suicidal charge, and said with a smile, "Lord Zhanglu, after three more waves of attacks, you will be able to make your move."
"I can take action now without these people dying. The enemy general is no match for me," Li Qi sighed, shaking his head as he looked at the battlefield below.
"Don't do that. If Lord Zhanglu makes a move prematurely, it will be worse. The losses caused by these people being alive will be even greater," said the world lord.
Yes, that's why Li Qi thought he wasn't a good person.
This fifth-rank realm lord was deliberately sending his people to their deaths. These people trusted him wholeheartedly, and among them were many geniuses and wise men.
But these people trusted him wholeheartedly because he was their world's ruler, the progenitor of their civilization, and the great ancestor who had led their world millions of years ago.
But he didn't care about any of that; his only goal was to get promoted.
Therefore, he used righteousness and lies to deceive these talented young people who trusted him wholeheartedly into dying, so that he could devour them.
However, Li Qi didn't stop him. He didn't care at all and instead cooperated with the other party because they would have to work together to kill the Human Path General later.
The opposing force was responsible for blocking the Soldier's Qi, while Li Qi was responsible for destroying the enemy's general.
Li Qi is not a saint; if he intervenes, it will delay the Human-Shaman War.
Besides, if Li Qi stops it, those young people who are being sent to their deaths may not agree themselves, and might even turn against Li Qi.
It would take a lot of effort to awaken them, and Li Qi didn't have that much time.
He is a good person and only does good deeds within his ability.
Only a saint would choose to do good deeds under any circumstances. Li Qi is not that idle. Over the years, he has been through many battlefields and has long since learned to get used to it.
However, looking at the young people rushing to the front line one after another... Li Qi still felt a little emotional, even though it had nothing to do with him.
By now, Li Qi has long possessed one of the qualities that an immortal should have.
That is to ignore some unimportant things.
In the myriad realms, there are countless things happening, with joys and sorrows every second. It's impossible to keep track of them all. As one lives longer, one must learn to disregard some unimportant things, such as the lives of these young people.
These young people probably think they made the decision on their own initiative...
People always think they can make independent choices, but in reality, everyone's choices have already been predetermined.
The prerequisite for independent thinking is knowing that you cannot think independently, recognizing your own situation, and knowing your limitations. Only then can you gain a little bit of freedom within those limitations.
Just like when Li Qi faced powerful beings.
Three more assaults followed.
Seeing that the time was right, the world lord said, "Lord Master of Slaughter, the time has come."
"Okay." Li Qi also stood up.
The two disappeared from the spot at the same time.
In the next instant, the death aura brought about by the deaths of countless young people swept over the Soldier's Qi of the Tang Kingdom, Soldier's Qi it for a brief moment.
At that very moment, a divine image descended from the heavens, and an invisible thread of cause and effect entered the legion.
Law Treasure malfunction, Technique Method collapse, inner worlds become chaotic, and even things like slipping and falling happen.
Countless coincidences occurred in an instant...
Li Qi's Dharma form began to stir up cause and effect.
Immediately following was the Curse.
Before the Tang Kingdom general could even react, he felt something was wrong with his body.
When Qi and Blood are stagnant, internal organs become disordered, and meridians become chronically diseased, pathogenic factors, both deficient and excessive, as well as harmful and mild pathogenic factors, all enter the body at the same time.
All five parts of the body are infected by evil.
His inner world came to a standstill, his cultivation went out of control, and he self-destructed on the spot!
With a deafening roar, all the soldiers around him were swallowed up!
The self-destruction caused by the inability of a fifth-rank cultivator to control their cultivation was extremely terrifying. A huge lightning tree stretched across the void, spanning hundreds of millions of miles!
That should be the opponent's Dao foundation.
This lightning tree didn't just flash by; it actually tore a huge streak of light across the void, splitting the sky in two. Accompanied by an echoing roar, dazzling waves and currents formed channels along the thunderclouds, spreading outwards at the speed of light. Under the pressure of the voltage, lightning surged into countless worlds, producing a bright and dazzling flash.
The electric snakes bit into the spheres in the void, which were the sixth and Seventh Rank World that were participating in the battle around them.
The world was seized by the electric snake and dragged to the side of the thunder tree—
The Thunder Tree is lush and verdant! Sparks fly everywhere, and the world hangs from its branches like fruits.
Even the world was like this, not to mention the legion next to them. The general's self-destruction directly engulfed them. In just an instant, an ordinary Human Path army was completely destroyed and disappeared without a trace.
Li Qi clenched his fists, and a gigantic Star Official appeared in the void.
The Star Official stretched out his arms and embraced the thunder tree.
Then, he pressed it into his own body.
The terrifying power brought about by the self-destruction was easily neutralized by Li Qi.
And so, the Star Official disappeared.
"Alright, this is settled. Farewell." Li Qi didn't linger for a second longer, bid farewell directly, and then drove the Ghost Chariot towards Liesu.
As Executioner Squad, he is responsible for many more Decapitation Strike operations and will not be limited to just one.
Time and time again, again and again.
We've finished dealing with the mess here; now it's time to put out the fire over there.
This is the job of the Executioner Squad: day after day, putting out fires on the battlefield.
In every battle, if a team is at a disadvantage, they will call upon the Executioner Squad for support.
Li Qi and the war zone commander Bo Yue needed to distinguish which battlefields urgently needed support, how to plan routes, and how to allocate combat power.
After all, Li Qi also gets tired. After a series of battles, if he specifically chooses to fight powerful enemies, he will easily become exhausted and end up failing to provide support, and may even get himself killed.
"Yu'er, what did you say over there?" Li Qi contacted Shen Shuibi through the 'Alliance'.
"My efficiency is a bit lower than yours. Of the 237 battlefields along the planned route, 60 have already been resolved," Shen Shuibi replied.
"I'm a bit faster than you here; I've already processed 140. If I pass by any of the worlds along your route, I'll take care of them for you," Li Qi said.
Shen Shuibi also sent a message: "Yes, this is good for the soldiers on the battlefield, as it will reduce the number of deaths. However... you are much stronger than me now."
This sentiment comes from the heart.
Who remembers that hundreds of years ago, Li Qi was just an ordinary mortal of low rank, while Shen Shuibi was a high-ranking fifth-rank fairy?
Then, one day, the immortals were suddenly banished to the mortal realm, and at the same time, mortals began to climb upwards.
Thus, two parallel lines that would never intersect came together.
Shen Shuibi felt that she was already a genius. Advancing to the fifth rank in nine thousand years was a very frightening achievement among many fifth-rank individuals.
It should be noted that in the outer realms, due to the widespread existence of long-lived individuals, there are many who advance to the fifth rank after hundreds of thousands or even millions of years. Some with poor talent have even wasted tens of millions of years.
Millions of years is an extremely long time, even for those who live forever.
In contrast, several hundred years is but a fleeting moment for many immortals.
In that instant, Li Qi transformed from an ordinary person into someone who could overturn the world and make Shen Shuibi feel at ease following behind him.
Now, Li Qi has walked ahead of Shen Shuibi, with the rabbit following behind him, watching his back and supporting him as he retreats.
And in the future, they will probably be left further and further behind, right? Li Qi will walk even faster, until he can no longer see Shen Shuibi.
This feeling is really... hard to describe.
However, Li Qi didn't care about any of that. He couldn't quite understand Shen Shuibi's feelings, and after a brief contact, he continued his busy work.
Keep working and finish these things quickly, so that fewer people will die.
Shen Shuibi, on the other hand, seemed somewhat lost and disappointed.
However, she quickly cheered up.
This is a good thing.
Neither of them dwelled on it; they continued to do their work and diligently carried out their tasks in the Human-Shaman War.
After all, it was their own responsibility, and they all worked very hard.
For Li Qi, this meant experiencing everything that an immortal should experience.
The theater commander sits in the rear, strategizing and deploying troops.
He could have a comprehensive view of the battlefield, but it was difficult for him to truly experience what the front lines were like.
The Executioner Squad is the opposite. They have difficulty seeing the overall situation and need to rely on command to confirm actions, but they can experience the battlefield firsthand.
On this battlefield, you can see many different scenes, different worlds, and different people.
When I was in command, the data I saw had become real people.
There were noble and base characters, all sorts of appearances Dao Path, clearly displayed before Li Qi.
Every world has a complete story, and each world has its own worldview and values.
For example, he saw a race that resembled an anthill.
It's just similar, not a real anthill.
Beyond the realm, there exists a kind of swarm life, where all individuals in the entire civilization exist for the sake of the collective, or rather, the entire civilization has only one mindset, which is the swarm mindset.
Such beings are generally at least seventh-grade, even if the individuals themselves are not of grade, they can still exist for a long time as a civilization as a whole, while the entire civilization can only be considered a single cultivator.
But the race that Li Qi saw was different; they were even more peculiar.
Each of them is independent, and everyone has a clear sense of self, but their culture and Dao Lineage encourage absolute rationality, with the collective being greater than all individuals.
In this civilization where everyone possesses independent thought, it has become like an anthill, where all individuals are thoroughly instrumentalized to maintain operation. Therefore, they would not hesitate to sacrifice themselves to meet the needs of the collective, and even leaders can easily die.
The word 'dedication' doesn't exist here, because it's taken for granted; it's not a collective consciousness, but a consensus reached by everyone.
This is a civilization that uses life as fuel, and everyone is used to it.
It's quite amazing that, through the 'Dao Lineage,' everyone has been transformed into this kind of person. Yet, despite this collective consciousness, they still possess completely independent self-awareness and the ability to innovate as a group.
The group's innovative capacity and the individual's resource integration capacity are even more extreme than Human Path.
Human Path respects every individual; it does not force sacrifices and fully respects everyone, achieving true equality for all.
But this civilization completely disregards the existence of any individual. Everything is for the sake of the 'majority'. The group forces individuals to die, and the individuals are merely bewildered victims, rarely finding a reason to die.
Among the many civilizations that Li Qi had seen, this was considered extreme.
But soon, Li Qi realized that all of this was simply because he was ignorant.
There are so many strange civilizations.
There is a strange civilization that is like a brain, seeking out uncivilized worlds, worlds without intelligent life.
Then they would sow seeds, a strange 'nerve bundle,' or, as Li Qi understood it, a 'brain.'
That's right. This civilization will implant brains into those primitive beasts. These brains will develop rapidly, quickly develop 'self-awareness' and give birth to intelligence. Ultimately, in about five thousand years, they will be able to transform a group of beasts into a complete civilization, even possessing the ability to explore beyond their own territory.
The brains and self-awareness that these civilizations trust and are proud of are all implanted by this race; their brains are the biggest parasites.
The brain is the most important thing; it is the core of thinking; it controls everything in the body. All of this... is quietly told to them by the brain.
Thus, when they begin to explore beyond the realm, this parasitic race will descend, and all the achievements of this civilization's own efforts will become resources, and even the world itself will become part of their race.
But this is not coercion, but a kind of 'alliance'. These civilizations all have their own consciousness and their own souls. It's just that their brains have given them a consensus, which allows them to unite.
Thus, diversity, countless races and civilizations, with the help of the parasitic brain, came together to form a powerful five-tier alliance.
Is it an alliance, or a civilization dominated by parasites? Even Li Qi couldn't tell, since all of these people have self-awareness, but part of their self-awareness comes from their parasitic brains.
There are also many other amazing life forms.
There are also assembled life forms, which are several different species. Individually, none of them have the ability to think, but they can combine with each other to become a composite life form. This life form can then cultivate itself and become an individual.
However, the lifespans of the species that make up this life are different, so they die of old age every once in a while and are replaced by another species. Each replacement causes them to change their temperament drastically and lose their memories, but they still retain their 'self'.
Is this really considered self-expression? Li Qi didn't know.
It can only be said that the world beyond our borders is vast and full of wonders.
Time keeps passing by.
