People are in reality, transcending the other side

Chapter 419 A Glimpse of the Future (Eighth Update! 10400 Monthly Tickets Received! Please Vote!)

A few minutes later, Li Qi met the Great Sage in a residence.

This was a man who looked to be in his early thirties, somewhat unkempt. His life level had undoubtedly reached the upper limit of one hundred, which was the limit of this era.

Psychic energy is different from aura. To achieve color, one needs a vast accumulation of wisdom, which is not something that can be easily overcome.

Even with psionic energy as a universal material, it would be much easier to become a colorful life form in this world than to become a demon god in the real world, but this ease is relative.

"Oh, it's Zhiqi. So it was you who took on the mission. I thought it would be Zhiyi who went, since you don't like to run around."

The Great Sage looked at Zhiqi scratching his head at this moment, and his impression of him was completely different from that of many people on the earth.

On Earth, some regard him as a god, as the future of humanity, while others see him as a tyrannical ruler, a demon king who will destroy everything.

In fact, these are just limitations of conventional thinking. The Great Sage was actually a pure academic, or rather, a great scientist.

The great scientists of this world are not weaklings. If your wisdom cannot be transformed into power, there is only one possibility: your wisdom is not high enough, nothing more.

"Am I just curious? As for those ultimate thirteen questions, I've been working on them bit by bit in my spare time over the years. If I had written them down, the amount of scraps I produced could probably fill the sea. But the more you calculate, the more confused you become. Like we were saying before, if someone in this era can solve them, they're most likely someone who came back from the future..."

Zhi Qi said, glancing at Li Qi as he spoke.

At this moment, Li Qi's gaze was not on the Great Sage, but on the walls of the room, where some fragmented formulas were on the walls. Some of these formulas were old, and some were new, with the new ones covering the old ones, making the walls of the room look very dirty. But in Li Qi's eyes, the timeline shown by the old and new ones outlined a huge leap in thinking.

"Chu Yun's state is indeed very special, but it shouldn't be a simple time travel, but rather a sudden awakening!"

The great sage glanced at Li Qi and then spoke.

"His situation is like being granted a mission; he's given a few days of freedom, but after a few days, he won't have that kind of wisdom anymore..."

The great sage had actually seen something.

"Actually, I've been through something similar. Thirty years ago, I was just a lowly worker in a research institute, doing the hardest and most tiring work, doing the most work, and getting the least pay. Then, by chance, my superpowers awakened, allowing me to glimpse the future and briefly merge with my future self, and that's how everything I have now came about..."

"In the original historical trajectory, twenty years ago, a world war broke out, human civilization regressed madly, barbaric and bloody deity worship became rampant, and a few ambitious people even ascended to godhood under the faith of the masses."

"However, those people did not understand that psychic energy is actually anchored to wisdom, and so-called faith is just a facade, so they failed, and I succeeded."

"When I first saw the future, those few days of clarity were truly captivating. Now, if I were to compare myself to others, I would be as stupid as a paramecium. The most crucial measurement method of the modern psionic system was also something I came up with during those few days."

"In just a few days, I accomplished something that would be impossible in several lifetimes..."

The great sage is not the cold and aloof figure that many people perceive him to be; on the contrary, he is quite talkative.

Even in his current state, at first glance, he looks like a decadent middle-aged man.

Under normal circumstances, given his life level, he shouldn't look like this, but once he starts thinking deeply, he exhausts himself. He has just finished a brainstorming session, but his energy and spirit haven't recovered yet. "So, yesterday, when I saw on the Lingbo website that someone had answered the Ultimate Thirteen Questions, I thought of something."

The Great Sage looked into Li Qi's eyes and seemed to see the reflection of the artificial Heavenly Dao in Li Qi's gaze.

In fact, this is a manifestation of a mental image; Li Qi has replicated the system of man-made Heavenly Way in his mind.

In this state, one is observing the universe at all times, but the effect is much worse.

"However, the reason I trust you is because at just one glance, I knew that you and I are the same kind of people, both pursuing true knowledge, but not without any bottom line."

"I just don't know what kind of future you've envisioned..."

“My situation is different from yours. You only see thirty years in the future, while I come from a time and space even more distant than tens of thousands of years in the future.”

"In the original timeline, I should have died in a sniper attack last night."

The great sage was very frank, and Li Qi responded in kind. He was sincere and could tell at a glance whether someone was someone he could confide in.

At the same time, this point in time is undoubtedly still far from the point where this world will fall into the Great Ruins. Li Qi also wants to see if he can break through the anchor of the Great Ruins if he starts to make changes from this era.

Although he only had three days, his past self still existed after he left.

Before this, he felt that the possibility of clearing the game with one coin was not high. He had not expected that the Great Sage would actually come from Chu Yun's era.

Undoubtedly, this person has a broad vision and a magnanimous heart. If it were someone with a narrow mind, even if they had a tool like the Way of Man and the Way of Heaven, they would not allow others to use it. In fact, knowing Li Qi's power, they would have directly wanted to kill him.

However, such a person could not possibly achieve such great success. The ambitious people who wanted to become gods, as mentioned by the Great Sage, were probably similar figures.

"The Great Ruins, the Mother of Wisdom, the Fall of Civilization..."

"What you've seen is too far removed from reality. I never imagined that the ultimate destination of civilization would be such a place..."

After receiving a mental message transmitted by Li Qi through psychic energy, the Great Sage simply smiled.

"That future is too far away. A mortal's life is no more than a hundred years. Even those of us who have evolved to the peak are only about a thousand years old. Spiritual energy can prolong the physical body, but it cannot save us from the loss of wisdom and the decay of the soul..."

"Perhaps the only way to achieve true immortality is to become a perfect life form in theory..."

The great sage murmured, showing no sorrow whatsoever for his inevitable demise.

After all, everyone in this world knows they will die as soon as they are born, yet few people worry about it early on.

"Compared to this, your current state of boundless wisdom is even more precious. Let's talk to more people, pool our wisdom, and draw inferences from one instance to another. Perhaps this can lay the foundation for the third leap forward of psionic energy!"
