People are in reality, transcending the other side

Chapter 252 The Dao and the Demon are One (Sixth Update! 700 Monthly Tickets Requested!)

Li Qi, Sun Guang, and Shen Yue all looked at Shen Xin and the suddenly changed world, but their thoughts differed.

Shen Yue knew about the existence of the Star Fate Tribulation, after all, the two were sisters.

Li Qi is now exceptionally intelligent; upon hearing those three words, he had already figured out the whole story.

In this world, things grow old when they reach their peak. If something becomes too powerful and crosses a certain limit, it will naturally trigger some special situations, just like when a genius breaks through a realm, they may encounter a demonic tribulation.

The destiny of a celestial being is extraordinary, and it is not something created by nature, but rather something created by defying the heavens. If this destiny is free from calamity, it can only prove that the saint who created all of this has transcended the heavenly way and surpassed the laws and regulations of the world.

But the reality is that the Saint has already ascended to heaven, yet he remains within the Dao of Heaven. If he himself is like this, how much more so his creations?

"A star's destiny has its tribulations. If one overcomes them, one can merge more deeply with one's own star destiny, even allowing it to grow. But if one fails, the star destiny will dim. However, the tribulation before us is not Shen Xin's tribulation, but rather a result of a combination of favorable timing, location, and circumstances, where the true power of insight is unleashed, triggering a profound mystery..."

Such a thought crossed Li Qi's mind. Now, he had an extraordinary insight into everything and knew that all the current troubles were his own fault.

However, he didn't say much, but just sensed this suddenly changing world of time and space. It was both real and illusory, similar to the demonic tribulation he had encountered before, but also fundamentally different.

If the "server" of the demonic tribulations he encountered before was a change born from the combination of his own spiritual world and mysterious information, then the server of this dreamlike world is this void information sea.

He, Shen Xin, and Shen Yue were both login users and signal base stations. All three of them had traces of Tianxing on them, which allowed Sun Guang, an onlooker, to also come in.

"Ah Qi, could this be the legendary demonic tribulation?!"

"I didn't see anything online saying that you can bring people in with you during the Demon Tribulation..."

Instinctively, Sun Guang stopped Li Qi's arm. He was actually quite brave, but this world was too strange. The sky and earth were dark, and it felt like more than a hundred years had passed in an instant. Apart from the four of them, everyone else had disappeared.

Moreover, this eerie world is also infested with a chilling and sinister power that constantly corrodes the minds and spirits of everyone.

"This is a variant of some kind of demonic tribulation. Unlike the ever-changing nature of demonic tribulations, it has endless possibilities. You can encounter anything, even travel back to the past or to the future..."

"This Star Fate Tribulation is a fixed, desolate space-time. The things encountered by the Star Fates of the Three Saints and Seven Immortals during their tribulations are quite similar. Some Saints suspect that perhaps this strange space-time is a possible hopeless future that the Saints have glimpsed, a future where all things are destroyed."

"Our fate was born from the great calamity, and is therefore related to it."

Shen Xin is usually unreliable, but when faced with a major event, he is clear-headed and doesn't try to be mysterious. After a brief moment of surprise, he tells everyone everything that happened.

To avoid the situation from being secretive and causing unexpected problems due to information asymmetry.

After all, the vicissitudes of fate are unpredictable and may well mislead people, or even cause them to kill each other.

"Demon tribulations are unpredictable, but life tribulations are predetermined. So why is the scene of this life tribulation so similar to the demon tribulations I encountered before?!"

"Could it be that what I called 'passing the demonic tribulation' before was actually the power of insight, forcing me onto the train and connecting me to the recent life tribulation?!" Shen Xin spoke extremely quickly, but Li Qi's thoughts were even faster. Almost as soon as Shen Xin finished speaking, his thoughts had already manifested.

As soon as he entered this ordeal, he felt a sense of familiarity.

However, the root of this calamity is different from the demonic calamity he encountered. It is probably because the calamities are all one, but no two people are the same, so no two calamities are the same. His demonic calamity is not anchored to his own calamity...

"I was right, I wasn't a genius after all, I'm probably not even a fragment of a genius."

Suddenly, Li Qi had this clear understanding of himself.

"If you die during a life-threatening ordeal, it is not true death, but your spirit will inevitably be damaged. So, if you can avoid dying, do your best to stay alive!"

"Once I have figured out this fate, you will be able to return!"

"According to what others have said about their tribulations, in this strange place, the negative aspects of the tribulation seeker's heart will combine with the tribulation to evolve into a demon. The higher the righteous path, the higher the demon path. With my martial arts, the demon that I evolve will definitely be powerful. However, the righteous path and the demon path are one. I will have my own time to see through and defeat them. You should not interfere later!"

Shen Xin, holding his sword, arranged everything in an orderly manner, displaying a completely different demeanor from when he first appeared.

But that's normal; those with celestial stars in their destiny are not ordinary people!

She seemed unreliable before, but that was just her being completely unintentional; she was simply acting on impulse, only for her own comfort.

But when it really comes down to it, she's truly capable.

Sun Guang was already flustered at this moment. When he heard Shen Xin's confident statement, if Li Qi hadn't been supporting him, he probably would have knelt down before the heroine on the spot, grabbed her leg, and shouted that she was benevolent and righteous.

At this moment, Li Qi naturally knew that things couldn't be that simple. If there really was a demon evolving in this world, it couldn't have been created by just Shen Xin alone. It would probably have been created by combining the negative aspects of the four people.

This so-called negative aspect is not necessarily a bad thing; it all depends on how you look at it. Everything has two sides, yin and yang, embracing yin and bearing yang. If there is only positive or only negative, then it is inherently flawed and cannot last.

Even though Li Qi's heart is pure and bright, negative aspects still exist. Moreover, the stronger the positive aspects are, the more naturally the negative aspects will grow. However, Li Qi has already seen through some of the mysteries of the mind, so he can control them with his will and make choices.

When he is righteous, he can cultivate great virtue for his family, country, and the world; when he is wicked, he can also destroy all living beings without mercy. Everything is simply a matter of his will.

After all, he had slain the demonic calamity and acknowledged his own opposite, thus achieving a unity of opposites, a balance of yin and yang, and a transcendent state of mind.

And how powerful is Li Qi's mental realm now?!
Currently, his spiritual cultivation far surpasses his physical state.

How terrifying could the resulting demon be under such circumstances?!

Without keeping everyone waiting any longer, almost as soon as Shen Xin finished speaking, the world suddenly changed. The gloomy sky was struck by black lightning, and the wind howled, creating an atmosphere of boundless terror.
