People are in reality, transcending the other side

Chapter 405 Not the Protagonist
Then, surprisingly, the shamanic music began to dance right there.

Her body stretched and her limbs turned, but there was no hint of allure; instead, there was only majesty and holiness, as if she had truly become the representative of heaven.

At this moment, Li Qi also fully realized the truth and memorized it completely. However, in Li Qi's view, this grand dance was ordinary and unremarkable, without much mystery or wonder.

"It seems that my cycle of reincarnation and Lord Yu's cycle of reincarnation are not the same thing."

It wasn't until after the grand dance was over that Li Qi had this idea.

Undoubtedly, he was the person Wu Le described as feeling that this grand dance was nothing special.

As for that kind of sacred and majestic aura, he had a similar presence when he was a high shaman.

"So, the reason I developed this sense of destiny is to become the chosen one, old man?!"

"Could we forge a positive connection with the chosen one in the future?!"

"But I have no use for this thing. Even if Lord Yu really reincarnates, he wasn't a demon god in his previous life. He still needs to prove himself in this era. By the time I complete my demon god form next year, it won't even take three years to become a saint. Plus, I'll be doing dungeons. If I can't become a demon god within ten years, it's all because I'm too weak..."

"The world is on the brink of destruction; only I can save it. Lord Yu is unreliable..."

"If he were strong enough, he would have become a demon god five thousand years ago. Why would he have waited until now?"

Li Qi had insight into the truth and knew that what Wu Le said was not a lie.

As for reincarnation, he himself had already reincarnated. It seems reasonably plausible that Lord Yu, as a figure from five thousand years ago, could also enter the cycle of reincarnation.

It's just that Master Yu is clearly a bit incompetent; he needs a key to wake up, unlike him, who woke up on his own at the age of sixteen and regained his memories of his past life.

Afterwards, Li Qi asked Wu Le about the specifics of the Reverse Current organization, but Wu Le didn't know much either. She only said that Yi Laogui suspected that the leader of the Reverse Current was a director of the Demon God Research Institute, but he didn't know who it was.

The Demon God Research Institute has twelve board members, but the god is high above them, above the board.

However, in reality, the gods don't manage much; many things at the Demon God Research Institute are decided by these twelve people.

In a sense, Yi Laogui's conjecture coincided with Li Qi's thoughts.

Now that God is so powerful, any wise person will not confront Him head-on. Instead, they will join Him, borrow His power, and first go with the flow, then go against Him!
After that, Li Qi interrogated the four people on the ground. After they were out of their divine form, their mental state had deteriorated, and they were unable to hide their emotions or thoughts from Li Qi. As a result, Li Qi was able to extract a lot of details related to the reverse flow.

These few people were just cannon fodder and didn't know the organization's true core secrets.

In their minds, the Great Will was the true supreme deity, all-knowing and all-powerful, a belief they held without a doubt…

There must be some inside story here, but Li Qi has no intention of getting to the bottom of it now. He will naturally understand everything when he becomes a saint. When he becomes a demon god, he will truly be able to bring peace to the four seas with a single thought.

At times like these, engaging in too much contact with such organizations is simply being idle and creating unnecessary trouble to branch out.

Therefore, Li Qi stopped there, handing the four people over to Wu Le and Yan Xian'er to deal with, and then left gracefully.

No matter what demons or monsters exist in this world, whether it's a great will or the reincarnation of the Lord of Yu, once he becomes a demon god, all these people will have to stand as his lackeys!
However, after returning home, Li Qi still practiced the Grand Dance he had learned from Wu Le several times in his quiet room. He finally concluded that it was similar to calisthenics, only having a health-preserving effect. For ordinary people, it had some exercise benefits, but for him, it wasn't even recognized by the skill panel and couldn't be converted into a skill on it.

With his current talent, normally speaking, he should be able to reach the minor mastery level after practicing any martial art once.

"As expected, there's nothing good about inheriting my past life's power..."

"Looks like I really am not the main character!"

Li Qi looked at his panel and thought to himself leisurely.

"If you want to get stronger, you have to work your ass off!"

"My strength comes entirely from my own relentless efforts, and a tiny bit of help from the control panel..."

Li Qi drew a conclusion and then began the liver-scalpel surgery.

……

Two days later, at noon, Li Qi lay on his bed in his bedroom at home, his mind wandering in the virtual sea, navigating the ship of the world, riding the wind and waves.

This has been his daily routine lately: practicing swordsmanship every morning and evening, surfing the Void Sea at noon, and taking a half-hour nap when he's exhausted. It's very regular.

At this very moment, Li Qi's World Ship finally crossed a certain boundary and arrived at the second level of the Void Sea, having previously been in the first level of the Void Sea. Since his mental state achieved the Three Elements, his speed of movement in the Void Sea had increased several hundred times; otherwise, he really wouldn't have been able to arrive so quickly.

In an instant, the information structure of the World Ship that Li Qi was piloting was compressed wildly by an invisible force, and in a flash, the information density was condensed more than ten times.

At the same time, Li Qi's mind was also in a state of unity with the World Ship, and it was also affected by this compression and condensation. In an instant, a terrifying pressure came, making Li Qi feel as if he had entered a black hole, and his mind was being violently compressed.

Along with this comes the pain of immense repression, like a living person being buried alive in the earth, so repressed that it's impossible to breathe. In this situation, if one's will is not firm enough, or wavers even slightly, it will lead to a mental breakdown, causing one to wake up in reality, or even leaving behind a huge psychological shadow.

But Li Qi's current will is undoubtedly extremely powerful. His nearly fifty years of asceticism and self-examination in his dream, with each step a question, has made his will incredibly strong.

At this moment, although he was suddenly subjected to this strange state of compression, Li Qi remained calm and at ease. Even though he felt that his mind had been compressed into the smallest dust, or even the smallest particle that constitutes matter, he was still fearless.

This is true courage!
No matter how outward appearances change, I remain true and unmoved!
This state seemed to have lasted for millions of years, yet it also seemed to have lasted for less than a fraction of a moment. The pressure finally disappeared, and Li Qi's intentions spread out at the same time, like the moment when heaven and earth were created, the extreme point of the explosion.

In the depths of his being, Li Qi knew that his mind and spirit had been refined and elevated.

"So that's how it is. The Void Sea has nine levels, and each level is a test of endurance. However, if one cannot withstand it, it becomes a calamity. But if the information in each level is compressed by more than ten times, how incredible would the ninth level of the Void Sea be..."

"In terms of information density, it's likely that even the virtual could be made real!"

"I wonder if there are any experts in this world who have been able to pierce through the nine layers of the void sea with their mind and spirit. If they could do that, how powerful they would be!"
