Humanity's Overview Technique

As Li Qing continued to read the True Diary, the content grew increasingly bizarre the further he went.

This was because the latter portion no longer consisted of simple text.

Following the first passage of frantic, incoherent language, the characters in the diary began to arrange themselves in a chaotic, disordered fashion.

These jumbled characters converged, vaguely coalescing into patterns.

There were three patterns in total, filling three full pages.

One pattern appeared to be a silhouette seen from behind, a figure so immensely tall it seemed to fill the entire heaven and earth.

Yet, it was profoundly dark, and within that silhouette, countless horrors seemed to be concealed.

Li Qing focused his attention, straining to discern what lay hidden behind that back.

In a hazy blur, Li Qing suddenly glimpsed a scene that filled him with immense terror, his heart gripped by dread and nausea.

Billions of corpses were layered upon one another, countless skulls piled high in strata that resembled geological layers, accumulated over an eternity of time.

All of this was merely a hazy image behind that figure, a contour outlined by the very text itself.

An inexplicable palpitation surged into his heart.

Li Qing hurriedly turned his gaze to the second illustration.

He feared that if he continued to stare, something ominous might occur.

The second image was that of a Buddha, its outline composed of countless frantic characters.

Looking closely, the Buddha seemed to be smiling while holding a flower.

The black characters faintly shimmered with a golden light, illuminating myriad dimensions and converging into a Pure Land.

But at this moment, Li Qing's gaze did not linger on the Buddha itself.

Instead, he looked at the Buddha's lower half.

It was a massive lotus throne, faint and indistinct.

Upon closer inspection, through the haze, he realized it was composed of countless limbs of Anomalies—human, animal, and those of myriad sentient beings.

They had fused together, intertwined and inseparable, screaming and wailing in despair, ultimately manifesting as a Nine-Grade Lotus Throne.

Everything about it was so grotesque and terrifying that just by looking at the image, Li Qing felt a chill run through his body, a despair rising from the depths of his soul.

Li Qing looked at the third page; the third page on the Jade Tablet depicted yet another bizarre pattern.

Hidden within this design was a sinister entity.

It appeared to have countless arms, like a Demon god, with strange horns growing from its head and its entire body covered in eerie scales.

Its lower half seemed to be a long, serpentine tail.

But looking closer, it was no snake tail at all; it was a tail formed from the fusion of countless living creatures.

Countless heads, arms, limbs, claws, and tufts of hair had merged into one, constructing that grotesquely elongated lower body.

The upper body of this terrifying Demon god held aloft, upon its myriad arms, eyeballs, severed heads, and all manner of strange biological appendages.

The three patterns represented a Daoist, a Buddha, and a Demon god, as if pointing toward three distinct paths.

Li Qing could clearly sense that the imagery of these three paths possessed a terrifying power.

It seemed capable of corrupting a person's spirit, leading them toward madness and ruin.

Yet, the Jade Tablet seemed to possess a wondrous power; while it revealed the truth to him, it did not truly pose any danger.

Li Qing slowly shifted his focus away and let out a long, deep breath.

His heart hammered against his ribs; although the three images had not threatened him, the mental oppression they exerted was palpable.

"Good heavens, what kind of world is this?"

"Do all these cultivators descend into madness once they reach the end of their path?"

"Could it be that they have come into contact with the unknown entities depicted in these three images?"

"They can only use frantic language to describe them, yet they can never truly convey the actual truth."

"If not for the Jade Tablet, I would never have been able to see the truth hidden behind these pages."

"If I were to draw these three images, I fear they would possess an inconceivable power."

"However, the moment I drew them, I would likely be affected by this force and immediately descend into a monster myself."

Shuddering slightly, Li Qing decisively abandoned the dangerous thought.

"This world is too dangerous; I must keep a low profile."

"I must be extremely cautious."

"I must never stick my neck out; if I can avoid trouble, I will, for who knows what terrifying entities might be lurking in the shadows."

"However, it seems that in this world, as long as one cultivates, there is an inexplicable force that guides practitioners into conflict with one another."

"I must be mindful of this as well."

Countless strange and varied thoughts flashed through his mind.

Li Qing took a deep breath, casting aside the distracting thoughts in his mind.

He then closed his eyes once more, focusing his attention entirely on the Jade Tablet.
