People are in reality, transcending the other side

Chapter 1226 Five Saints Sign the Investiture of the Gods

The place where Li Qi is is a spatial-temporal realm he created. This place contains the mystery of being beyond dimension +1. It is within the dimension, but also transcends the boundary between dimension and spacetime.

After the Five Saints appeared here, they vaguely sensed something mysterious, but upon closer inspection, they felt it was nothing more than a mirage.

Li Qi ignored the reactions of the Five Saints and simply said, "When the Immortal Star descends, an immeasurable calamity arises, and many traces descend, transforming into various Dao Venerables and Ancestors, and giving rise to many great sects."

“We are all born to face calamity, and we cannot escape our fate. The more we try to avoid it, the greater the calamity becomes. Only by facing the calamity of killing and using killing to determine our destiny can we return to purity.”

"Some things are more important than the result; the ultimate truth lies within them."

"With my supernatural powers, I could indeed decide the fate of the primordial world with a single thought, but that would be meaningless. Our lineage, without tempering and weathering storms, is ultimately just an illusion, devoid of any true essence."

"Your holy positions will also be determined in the midst of the calamity."

Li Qi explained the whole story clearly. Even if he were still in the same state as a day ago, with the four wonders of Qiyuan, sweeping away the primordial world would be a piece of cake for him.

It's even stronger now; with just a thought, it can obliterate everything and create everything.

But the lineage is not his alone. If it is only him, it is just the Dao, not the lineage. He must undergo tribulations, and the lineage must also undergo tribulations.

Indeed, the Daoist tradition is nothing more than a tool to him, but at least at his current level, he has not yet reached the point where he should discard this tool, and it still has great use to him.

If he skips the process and tries to shape the result on his own, he will gain nothing.

This is why the more powerful an entity is, the more it tends to guide and adapt to the circumstances of the world, rather than forcibly making decisions.

It's not that it's impossible; it's easy to force it. But different choices lead to different results.

The so-called "wuwei" (non-action) does not mean doing nothing, but rather using the least effort to achieve the greatest results.

Looking at the primordial world now, Li Qi sees it as if he were farming. All the changes are the natural growth process of crops. Appropriate fertilization and watering are necessary, but forcing growth is unnecessary.

Of course, this is also because he is strong enough. He has jumped out of the vegetable garden and is the one who grows the vegetables, not the vegetables in the garden. This makes him fundamentally different from other strong people.

At this time, those ancestors and Daoist masters were still in the vegetable garden, and they were no longer on the same level or in the same situation as him.

“The killing is fierce, but I have other important matters to attend to and cannot participate, so I have made some arrangements.”

"This is the Golden List of Gods, which I created by gathering the primordial origin. You leave your marks hereafter. Afterwards, disciples of the five sects who have completed the tribulation of killing, if they have died, can rely on this list to be reborn and live again. If they are alive and become gods, they can transform into innate demon god physiques."

As he spoke, Li Qi waved his sleeve, and trillions of rays of heavenly light flew out from the primordial world and condensed in the void in front of him.

He actually sculpted it by hand right there on the spot.

This supernatural power caused the five sages' eyes to twitch slightly.

As saints, they possessed an ancient identity, even if only a portion of that identity had been restored and they had not truly regained their ancient and terrifying status, their vision was still extraordinary.

There are many legends about the Investiture of the Gods, but the fact that it can bring people back to life is one thing, and it's not that it's particularly heaven-defying. But the latter, which allows one to become a primordial demon god, is a bit too much.

But what's even more outrageous is that such a treasure can be created with a wave of the hand.

At this moment, they completely believed Li Qi's words about "one thought determining the primordial world." After all, at this juncture, the path to immortality hadn't even been continued yet; how powerful could those Dao Venerable Ancestors possibly be?!

Meanwhile, Li Qi could easily create batches of treasures that could be used to create innate demon gods.

It can be said that from the very beginning, this massacre was unfair and unequal.

"The Golden List can only save your life, not protect you. Although your supernatural powers are now comparable to the Eternal Realm, they are still not enough to deal with those Ancestral Dao Venerables. Those people have no shame. Knowing that I will be unable to make a move later, they will definitely bully the weak."

"Therefore, I have used my supernatural powers to condense five treasures for you to use for self-protection and to suppress the fortune of the sect!"

Li Qi casually grabbed again, and with this grab, five rays of light were pulled out of nothingness, creating something from nothing. The five elements, like dragons, twisted and changed, and then condensed into an axe, a bell, a knife, a sword, and a mirror.

The five saints' positions are all derived from Li Qi's lineage. As Li Qi grows stronger, the five saints also grow stronger. Now their power is comparable to that of eternity.

This is because the Daoist tradition is only anchored on the wonders of Li Qi's present life, and cannot be anchored on the complete Qi Yuan.

If they were to truly anchor themselves to the Nine Wonders, any one of the Five Saints at this moment would be able to easily defeat those Dao Venerables and Ancestors.

Unfortunately, Li Qi's progress was too fast and too excessive. Although the Daoist tradition is wondrous, it is not omnipotent and cannot achieve a comprehensive anchoring or fully share some of Li Qi's attributes.

Therefore, Li Qi made this second-line preparation.

Those Daoist ancestors were both real and fake; the truth and the falsehood were intertwined, making it quite mysterious.

The Five Saints are certainly not bad, but they are still not enough against these people.

Therefore, he also followed the example of many myths where wise men foresaw their impending doom and bestowed treasures upon their disciples for protection.

"The axe, even the sacred axe, contains the most wondrous evolution within it. The sacred energy fills all time and space, transforming into the strongest, most supreme, and greatest power, splitting the earth and opening the heavens, reversing the cycle of reincarnation!"

With a flick of Li Qi's finger, the Sacred Axe landed in Zhuang Buzhou's hands.

At this moment, Zhuang Buzhou felt a heavy weight on his hand, and he was almost crushed to the ground.

"This axe is so heavy?!"

"How is this possible? I possess the Great Way of Power. All power has no weight for me, or rather, I can define weight freely..."

Zhuang Buzhou was shocked. He was both Pan and Zhuang Buzhou. The process of the Five Saints' awakening was actually the same as when Li Qi enlightened his past self, and the two hearts became one.

It's not some crude refining or assimilation, but rather something that was always one, something that makes me who I am.

While it is true that their lineage has not yet been transformed into the orthodox lineage of the primordial world, and their lost status and power have not fully returned, their divine abilities remain undiminished.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, Zhuang Buzhou used the wondrous power of his own Dao and infused his will into the Sacred Axe, thus not losing his dignity as the senior disciple and barely managing to stabilize his body.

But as soon as this thought penetrated the Sacred Axe, he felt a strange energy flowing within it. That energy truly controlled everything and filled everything. Although his Great Dao of Power was indeed powerful, it could not contain this kind of power.
