Chapter 1119 The Headline Was Stolen
By evening, the real-world headlines, which had been dominated by the Demon Emperor for the past few days, were filled with speculation about his origins, how Fairy Shi was being tortured, and how he had successfully climbed to the top of the game's kill list.

The Demon Emperor killing the Hundred Evil Ancestor is nothing, but capturing the fairy is a serious matter.

Now, Li Qi's headline has been stolen, but not completely, because the demonic figure who reached the top also claims to be Li Qi.

Meanwhile, major websites and forums online are buzzing with discussion about the mystery behind the name Li Qi.

For a terrifying being like the Shadow Demon, a suspected higher-dimensional life form, to start with such an opening is extremely strange.

"I have some doubts. Is this sentence similar to the opening animation and sound effects of old-fashioned mobile phones, which are automatically triggered when the phone is turned on? Otherwise, what normal person would talk to themselves and say that they are invincible?"

On a well-known forum, someone made the following statement.

"If such a thing were to happen, wouldn't that be even more terrifying?!"

"This means that behind that demonic shadow, there is an even more outrageous creator. Perhaps that creator is narcissistic, so he created such an opening for the world-destroying weapon he created. Or perhaps this creator has an enemy named Li Qi, and this is a way of mocking him..."

It is said that there is wisdom in numbers, and when a group of people get together, some brilliant ideas will naturally emerge.

This is a similar situation on the internet right now.

Various plausible conjectures have emerged one after another.

"So, it's possible that they're actually mocking me?!"

In his bedroom, Li Qi looked at the posts on his phone, lost in thought.

"I've always been a kind person, how could I possibly have such an enemy?"

"The Shadow Demon really does resemble some kind of weapon. From the previous Demon Star to the current Shadow Demon, it certainly doesn't look very human."

"I clearly have memories of my past life. In my previous life, I was just a purebred ox or horse, not the reincarnation of some great figure. Is this some kind of void-based enemy search?!"

"Or perhaps the name Li Qi itself carries some kind of causal connotation..."

At this moment, Li Qi couldn't help but think of some memes he had seen in his previous life.

For example, the superpower to kill Zhang San...

As for Li Qi's own special circumstances, he now attributes them to the fact that his soul may have undergone some kind of mutation during the reincarnation process.

Because of the mutation, he became a one-in-a-trillion natural powerhouse, and killing became an instinct as natural as breathing. Because of the mutation, he gained the strongest demonic talent and an astonishing wisdom that opened his mind.

After all, he clearly remembered that his talent was only activated after he awakened his memories of his past life.

"Is the world on the brink of destruction?"

"It doesn't matter, I'll take action!"

Until midnight, Li Qi entered the game world again. Since he transformed the Hundred Evils Alliance into the Demonic Sect and gained the allegiance of many masters, his career has progressed very smoothly.

Even though he wasn't really interested in running a guild and didn't need anyone to serve him, the game system provided too much for him.

Previously, he killed the Hundred Evil Ancestor, directly completing the revenge storyline mission beyond the limit, and directly obtained the top reward in the game, thirty Heavenly Dao Points, and unlocked the Heavenly Dao Shop.

In this game, there are various currencies, and different currencies can unlock different shops. Among the many currencies, Heavenly Path Points are the strongest currency without exception.

Any treasure that has ever existed in the game world can be exchanged, including treasures that don't actually exist in the game world but are entirely created by the power of Heaven. For example, the Tiger Wolf Pill, which can turn a blank template into a blue one, only costs five Heavenly Dao points. The Ghost God Pill, which can upgrade a blank template to purple, only costs thirty points.

Even upgrading the template to the golden seventh-level Golden Core only costs two hundred points.

Changing the template is undoubtedly defying fate.

Many rare and precious materials can only add one or two points to one's innate talent or comprehension, which is incomparable to these things.

There's only one thing missing from the Heavenly Path Shop: game invitation cards.

This phenomenon itself made Li Qi realize something.

Logically, allowing ordinary people to become players is part of the game mechanics, but the Heavenly Path Shop doesn't even have this crucial item.

Li Qi even suspected that the game invitation card did not exist in any of the stores, and that this item could only be obtained directly through special missions.

As for the reason, the store and the tasks may be two different systems, and their permissions are not in the same place.

There is some kind of force that forcibly limits the production of game invitation cards.

Otherwise, a normal game would not limit the emergence of new players; it would only want as many players as possible.

After studying the thirty Heavenly Dao Points, Li Qi directly spent twenty of them to exchange for a strand of Heavenly Dao Qi.

In Li Qi's view, this was the most suitable thing for him.

If he had the Five Paths, he could directly reach the half-step Celestial Being realm.

He also has a mission, the Path to the Demon Emperor, the first step of which is to unify the Western Regions. This is why he is not interested in building guilds or increasing guild power, but he still does these things.

Even with his martial arts skills at that level, the motivation to devour innate masters is still not as fast as the motivation to cultivate by absorbing the energy of heaven and earth himself. Purifying his own demonic embryo, true qi, and internal energy also requires time and effort.

He is becoming increasingly pure, and it will take more effort to purify the power he has acquired. Only someone like the Hundred Evils Ancestor, a half-step Celestial Being, who is pure enough, would be cost-effective for Li Qi.

Of course, this was also the sixth chapter of Li Qi's Dao Embryo Demon Seed, which directly introduced the power of heaven and earth, constantly infusing him with the power of heaven and earth. He had almost used up his time to digest the power of heaven and earth, which led to this situation.

Otherwise, if one cultivates normally, as long as there are enough innate masters, they are still a decent source of nourishment.

As for Grandmasters, for Li Qi, if he could absorb their power and primordial spirit to turn them into firewood, it would save him some time.

He has always been the one who controls the demonic nature, rather than the other way around. As long as someone doesn't get in his way, he won't kill indiscriminately.

In a sense, despite his countless killings and few survivors, he was a principled and moral person, and was actually a good person. Many righteous young heroes were not as righteous as him.

In fact, it was precisely because he was too righteous that he became evil; he was too principled and ruthless in his pursuit of his enemies, which led him to fall into the demonic path.

On the one hand, Grandmasters are rare and not as common as cabbages; on the other hand, there are even fewer opposing Grandmasters. Therefore, Li Qi did not engage in any unnecessary trouble. In the game, he simply refined the Qi of Heaven to improve his cultivation, researched the Immortal Embryo, and then sat in charge of the Demonic Sect, focusing all his efforts on running the guild.

With the foundation left by the Hundred Evil Ancestor, plus the various experts who later joined him, and the name of the Demon Emperor, the entire Western Regions did not encounter any decent resistance.

In fact, if the Western Regions weren't so large and sparsely populated, his demonic sect would have already unified the Western Regions.
