People are in reality, transcending the other side

"Wow! Shigure, I never expected you to be so talkative just now. You're completely different from your usual self!"

Later that night, only Su Qiqi and Yuan Shiyu remained in the room. At this moment, Su Qiqi moved closer to Yuan Shiyu, looking very surprised.

"He's different."

Yuan Shiyu began to speak sparingly, his gaze not on Su Qiqi, but focused on the void before him, as if there was a different kind of scenery there.

"What's different?!"

Su Qiqi became even more curious.

"do not know."

Yuan Shiyu paused for more than ten seconds after speaking.

"But the convergence of world lines will ultimately lead to that one and only outcome!"

……

"Qi, was what that strange girl said true or false?!"

"Are there really other timelines?!"

"And there's even a gender-swapped version of Xiaosi, the evil female scientist! That character is too explosive!"

On the way, Sun Guang muttered to himself next to Li Qi.

"Perhaps there are indeed many possibilities in this world, sometimes spreading out and sometimes converging, but human perspective is too narrow to observe them or perceive or remember them. So for humans, no matter what the truth is, it is not important."

Li Qi said.

"As for Yuan Shiyu, she is not a time traveler. She is simply talented and uses this method to keep her mental state normal."

"The world she sees is different from that of ordinary people."

Li Qi didn't elaborate, but in fact, the world he saw was much different from that of ordinary people.

At all times, a massive torrent of information communicates with his mental world. The amount of information he experiences is thousands of times greater than that of ordinary people, but much of the complex and meaningless information is filtered out by him.

If he doesn't actively block these things out, what he sees will definitely be bizarre, incredibly disjointed, even a chaotic dance of demons, distorted objects, and strange ghosts that ordinary people can't see everywhere.

In fact, ordinary people can also experience dizziness and hallucinations if they stand near high-frequency information transmission devices. They may also have nightmares afterward, because they have unintentionally received too much information.

Because of his high level of martial arts cultivation, Li Qi has a strong sense of self-control, allowing him to filter information precisely, blocking out meaningless information and preventing it from interfering with his normal vision. The valuable information then becomes the resources for the operation of his Dao disk and the growth of his spirit, essentially making him constantly AFK (away from keyboard) for cultivation.

But people like Yuan Shiyu, with their unique mental structure, are different.

As for why the other party dreamed of the four characters Wu, Kong, Yuan, and Jie, these four characters have been passed down in this world for many years. The existence of the four major surnames is not a secret.

Regarding this legend, some people believe it to be true, while others think it's just these four surnames trying to glorify themselves.

Just as people with the surname Li all recognize a sage as their ancestor, people with the surname Yu even directly recognize the Lord of Yu as their ancestor. Of course, there is no definitive conclusion in history about what the Lord of Yu was actually called.

Therefore, Li Qi regarded everything he had encountered in the past few days as ordinary. Perhaps there was indeed some cause and effect or fate at play, but he always believed that no matter what cause and effect or fate was, in this world where cultivation is done step by step, no one could become a demon god faster than him!

Even the strongest known creature on Earth, that god from overseas, is definitely no match for him. Even if Lord Yu truly returns through reincarnation, as the saying goes, if the opponent were powerful enough, he would have achieved this five thousand years ago; why would he need to do it now?!
……

After that, Li Qi and Sun Guang returned to Yuntian Pavilion.

The preliminary rounds of the Jiaolong Cup haven't started yet at this time. It's said to be at the beginning of the month, but it usually starts on the 3rd of the month. The preliminary rounds are from the 3rd to the 5th, and the main competition is from the 6th to the 9th.

Unlike the Mingyu Sun and Moon Pavilion, which is built to reflect the sun and moon, the Yuntian Pavilion is surrounded by empty space, and when viewed from afar, it truly looks like clouds in the sky!
This place has more than 300,000 seats and hosts various large-scale events all year round.

Similar to the Sun and Moon Pavilion, the Cloud Sky Pavilion is also fully equipped with all kinds of facilities, including a rest area, a training area, a tea room, and a viewing platform...

However, the various home furnishings are more intelligent than those in the Sun and Moon Pavilion.

Back at Yuntian Pavilion, Sun Guang was exhausted and went straight to rest. Li Qi, however, went to check on the field area again. They had returned too late yesterday, and the field area was already closed. But at this time, it was only a little past four in the afternoon, and many people were still scouting the field.

There were contestants, bloggers from various marketing accounts and self-media, and various internet celebrities and live streamers.

The bustling crowd made the stands, though empty, feel anything but lonely; instead, they were a tapestry of life's many flavors.

As Li Qi strolled through the crowd, he felt like a drop of water merging into the sea. In fact, with the Jiaolong Cup about to begin, discussions about him were increasing.

Putting everything else aside, in the entire Yun Province, only he and Zhuang Buzhou have reached the triple limit-breaking realm, and Zhuang Buzhou is already his defeated opponent.

While some people believed that Zhuang Buzhou might have a breakthrough performance and avenge his previous defeat because of his last words, only a minority of them thought so. Most people still believed that Li Qi was already the uncrowned king and that winning the championship would be a piece of cake.

In many people's minds, the only suspense for Li Qi is the upcoming Nanzhou Qianlong Cup.

Of the seven provinces of Nanzhou, only five contestants have broken through to the third level of the limit. Among them, Li Qi and Zhuang Buzhou are both wild talents, while the other three who have broken through to the third level are all disciples of sects. One of them is Bai Yunwei from Baiyundao.

These people all have lineages and backgrounds. Although Zhuang Buzhou has a mysterious master, he is not well-known in the public eye and cannot compare with those great lineages.

In this situation, Li Qi and Zhuang Buzhou are both considered independent cultivators in the public's perception. It is true that heroes often emerge from the wilderness, but that is only true in times of chaos. Now, in this prosperous era, it is more likely that they will become experts from a sect.

That's where the suspense in everyone's hearts comes from.

This is why many people were so surprised yesterday when Xu Youyi said that Li Qi had defeated her senior.

However, Li Qi's record against the Four Heavenly Stars and his record against Xu Youyi yesterday did not circulate online, otherwise many people would not have felt there was any suspense.

However, even if you release a video of such a small-scale competition, there will still be a lot of people criticizing it. To truly win the hearts of all, you need to be in the public eye, with everyone watching, and your sword strike must be invincible. That would be truly fair and square, without any exaggeration or impurities.

Trying to find someone to praise you is like trying to catch fish by climbing a tree; it's a waste of time and energy.

At this moment, Li Qi stood in the competition venue, looking at the huge dragon-shaped golden cup hanging on the wall in the distance. His feelings were different from when he was in the Sun and Moon Pavilion.

Last time, he reminisced about the past, reflecting on everything that had happened, a moment of sudden realization.

At this moment, as he looked at the lifelike dragon that seemed about to transform into a soaring dragon, he was looking towards the future, towards the vastness of the sky and the earth.

"I have been utterly sincere. There is no one who can kill me. I will ascend step by step to the heavens. When I am finally proven to be a demon god, the invincible path will be fully revealed..."

"I wonder, if I become a demon god in the future, how will all living beings view me?! And how will I view all living beings?!"
