Pacifist!

"002, long time no see."

Qin Leng and Starry Sky Principal appeared simultaneously in the sky above, where white mist filled the air, creating a scene resembling a fairyland.

Before them stood a colossal creature, so imposing it blotted out the sky.

Li Yuan turned his head, and a large swath of clouds and mist dispersed. "You're in such a hurry to see me after just reaching the fifth rank. It seems you've missed me a lot, Qin Leng."

Qin Leng stood tall in the sky, leaning on a cane.

"It's like it was destined, isn't it?"

Countless Silk Thread of Mental Power emanated from Li Yuan's body and spread upwards into the sky. Qin Leng had already seen these Silk Thread back in the surface world.

The earliest instance was in India, where the Nine-Tailed Fox discovered that a large number of local indigenous people had begun to worship some unknown entity.

They used primitive and cruel methods, like some kind of stone statue sacrifice, to worship an Evil God.

But this was not limited to Africa; in the same year, a large number of mysterious churches that believed in Evil God appeared all over the world.

The sculpture seemed to possess a magical power, attracting more and more believers to worship it.

Judging from the shape of the stone statue, the Nine-Tailed Fox immediately identified what the creature on it was.

That's 002.

Therefore, this matter must be inextricably linked to 002.

But how 002, in its deeper world, interfered with the surface world remains a mystery.

Based on his understanding of 002, Qin Leng was certain that 002 would not do anything that was difficult and unrewarding.

So if he's made a move this time, it definitely won't be a small-scale operation.

The most reasonable guess is that Li Yuan has figured out some kind of rule in the Dream World and is trying to break free from the constraints of that rule!

There was an interesting hypothesis at the beginning, which was that cognition determines facts.

Whether it is materialism or idealism, when they believe that something exists simultaneously in both subjective and objective contexts, then it simply exists.

To put it more simply, if all life believes in the existence of a God, then that God truly exists, possessing the power of a priest.

If we apply this to Li Yuan, the result is not hard to imagine.

The Dream World is illusory; it is Dreamscape that does not exist.

Through understanding life, one can make fantasies and Dreamscape come true.

Therefore, Li Yuan was setting up anchor points.

When enough people observe him, see him, and believe he exists, he may truly exist in the physical world.

When Qin Leng thought of this, he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

If Li Yuan truly descended to the surface world through cognitive anchoring, then the word "disaster" would no longer suffice.

No one can stop him; he can easily conquer the whole world.

Therefore, the first thing Qin Leng did upon entering the Dream World was to determine whether his guess was true.

After seeing the dense spiritual Silk Thread Li Yuan's body, the outcome was self-evident.

These Silk Thread pierce through the dream world and connect to the real world; Li Yuan's power is gradually leaping out of the dream realm!

This would be virtually impossible for anyone else to do.

But for an Evil God with Mental Contamination, it seems that nothing is impossible.

"Find a way to cut off those threads binding him."

Upon hearing Qin Leng's whisper, Starry Sky Principal silently rose to the surface.

Starry Sky Principal was deeply impressed by this octopus-faced monster.

Back when he was in another world, this face was already imprinted deep in his soul.

"Such terrifying Mental Energy, just like back then."

The same chilling feeling.

If Mental Power had a smell, then Li Yuan's Mental Power would be a stench and fishy smell lingering in the sewers.

If Mental Power had a color, then Li Yuan's Mental Power would surely be the deepest and most twisted black.

Starry Sky Principal's Mental Power was a brilliant blue-purple, like countless stars.

Li Yuan watched as the two slowly stood up, and the blue sky and white clouds seemed to dim the moment he stood up.

"Let me ask you a question: What is the source of conflict and struggle between lives?"

"Since I came to this dreamlike and ethereal ocean, I have been pondering: what is the end of conflict and chaos?"

"How long will this endless, abyss-like conflict continue?"

Qin Leng gripped his cane tightly with both hands. "A self-proclaimed scholar and executioner, before reflecting on the origins of conflict and struggle, has he ever considered putting down his weapon?"

Li Yuan smiled faintly, "Life points to the weapons in people's hands and to the power of the individual as the origin of conflict and struggle."

But is that really the case?

"With a sharp sword in hand, the will to kill arises naturally. A venomous snake cannot be tamed unless its fangs are removed," Qin Leng said.

"Wrong."

"Conflict, war, chaos, these are not brought about by weapons. Even without weapons, people will pick up stones," Li Yuan said.

"I am a pacifist, and I sincerely hope that the world can usher in true peace. I hope to end this endless chaos."

Qin Leng said, "But what you say and what you do are clearly contradictory."

Li Yuan raised his enormous hand and said, "Peace is not something that can be achieved by words, but by force."

"I considered many ways, and finally found that the most effective way to end the war was the war itself."

"If I rule over all of this, peace will come, and chaos and war will end."

Ultimately, it's still about using violence to combat violence.

But coincidentally, Qin Leng thought so too.

"Since no one can calm down and reason things out, then fists and kicks are the only way to reason."

Qin Leng and Starry Sky Principal launched an attack on Li Yuan at the same time, but their conversation awakened another being in the Dreamland.

They disturbed the angels.

Qin Leng suddenly sensed an aura approaching from behind!

He turned his head sharply and saw that Angel Mo had woken up at some point!

"In this world, I have given up all fighting and enjoyed this peaceful slumber, but you insist on breaking this tranquility. Have you ever thought about the consequences, you demon?"

Bump!

Qin Leng's cane swept back and met the angel's wings!

The cane broke, and the wings swept across Qin Leng's body, leaving a crack!

The crack continued to widen until it spread across Qin Leng's body, tearing away his disguise.

Qin Leng's human appearance vanished, revealing his true demonic form.

Blood-red eyes, misty black skin, an unseen face, and black, spiraling ram's horns.

"They're all old acquaintances."

As Li Yuan spoke, his gaze fell on Angel Mo.

Qin Leng also looked at Angel Mo, "Helping him won't do you any good."

"I won't get anything out of killing you."

As Angel Mo spoke, he spread his wings, and countless golden rays of light began to appear on them!

The demon clenched his fist. "Then you can try and see if I can beat you down again."

The angel's expression instantly darkened. "I acknowledge your strength, but I don't like the tone of your voice."
