People are in reality, transcending the other side

Chapter 623 Harvesting the Masses
This also shows just how fierce Li Qi's mental exertion was.

He is now much stronger than when he defeated Dr. Qi. Under these circumstances, when he unleashes his full power, even the smallest bits of mental information that spread out have a tremendous psychological impact on ordinary people.

Countless pilgrims, at this moment, without any hesitation, bowed and worshipped the platinum-colored demon god to show their piety to the deity.

The already silent world became even more silent at this moment. The platinum-gold demon god transformed into eternity and became unique, deeply imprinted in the hearts of everyone present, never to be forgotten.

As for the old man saved by Li Qi, he was worshipping and weeping at the same time. He never expected that the one who saved his life was such a great being. His already firm faith in God became even stronger.

At this moment, Li Qi was completely unconcerned about the impact of his unleashing of all his mental power on his surroundings. All his senses—the nine perceptions, the insight into reality, the blessing of destiny—all his power was superimposed and burned to the extreme, all in pursuit of that suddenly appearing ripple.

He knew that there was a huge secret involved, perhaps even related to why powerful beings in the real world died young.

Indeed, he was confident that if he became a demon god, the world would have no secrets from him. However, knowing some things in advance would not only be beneficial, but could also help avoid many potential risks.

Now that such a fortunate opportunity has presented itself, he naturally cannot let it slip away.

At this moment, Li Qi transformed into a platinum sun, and the radiance of his soul seemed to penetrate into the depths of time and space, into the very essence of the universe.

The world and universe he saw had undergone tremendous changes. Time was no longer time, space was no longer space, and the world seemed to have turned into a point mass, a point that was constantly expanding, like a balloon that was being blown up.

All things are one!

From this perspective, everything—time and space, cause and effect, destiny and fate—is the same, presented in the simplest form.

Then, Li Qi saw the true nature of that slight ripple: it was a blade, a heavenly blade that could reap all living beings!

The blade came from the deepest part of the Void Sea. As the Heavenly Blade fell, it had already reaped the Crimson Fire Daoist. All the memories, experiences, and details of his life were now displayed on the blade.

This Heavenly Blade is like a mirror, reflecting everything about the Crimson Fire Daoist.

At this moment, as Li Qi looked at the Crimson Fire Daoist, his life naturally flowed through his mind. Everything, especially the strong traces of time, settled directly into his spiritual world.

Under normal circumstances, even if Li Qi had insight into the truth, he could not ignore the mental barrier of life and know everything about the other party. Even in a life-or-death situation and the ultimate collision of minds, he could at most perceive the most essential part of the other party's life, but could not know everything.

But under this heavenly blade, everything was revealed.

boom!
Then, without hesitation, Li Qi's will transformed into a blade, colliding fiercely with the Heavenly Blade from the deepest part of the Void Sea.

At that moment, spacetime trembled. Within a radius of several kilometers, everyone felt the world shaking violently. Even though many people were prostrating themselves on the ground in worship, the intense tremors still dissipated their strength, leaving them paralyzed on the ground.

As for the two people next to Li Qi in the Dao Palace, although they were not weak in martial arts, they also collapsed to the ground at this moment, completely exhausted.

Click!

The fragmented echoes of his inner voice spread like shattered metal; Li Qi's will crumbled, but the Heavenly Blade remained unharmed. However, Li Qi possessed a physical body, allowing his shattered will to instantly reassemble—a benefit of physical existence. If he were purely spiritual, the collapse of his will would inevitably lead to his demise.

Subsequently, Li Qi's aura subsided, the Dao seal disappeared, and his hair and eyes returned to their original color.

"When life matures, the Heavenly Blade will reap the harvest..."

"Innate talent..."

"Deep within the Void Sea..."

"However, the feeling I got from that celestial blade wasn't that it was controlled by some unseen will, but simply a natural law, a universal principle..."

"But the laws of the universe can be written later, as long as we are strong enough!"

"So, is this phenomenon related to the emergence of innate talent...?"

"If we follow the clues I know, in the earliest times, some mysterious force descended, bringing innate talents and causing a group of people to have all their life shackles broken, transforming them into complete human beings, and even giving birth to ultimate sages who developed their innate talents to an extraordinary level."

"The earliest holistic human did not follow the path of martial arts evolution, but rather developed their innate talents to achieve extraordinary abilities. This can be proven in Dr. Qi's divine body."

"But then another mysterious force appeared, forcibly closing the shackles of life, causing the entire person to degenerate, lose all intelligence, and even have their original talents sealed in some way. So now, in the whole world, only I can stably open the liberation state because I am special. I have the powerful original talent of the Reincarnation Seal. The power of the Reincarnation Seal makes the seal on me even less restricted."

"It's that mysterious power that seals everything. It mainly locks the six shackles when they are fully open, rather than the innate talent. That belongs to a higher level of power."

"I just don't know whether this Heavenly Blade that reaps all living beings appeared at the same time as that primordial talent, or whether it is a manifestation of a third mysterious power..."

"The great calamity of the future may be related to these two or three mysteries. No, I cannot assume that there are only three parties involved. The great calamity may very well be the result of a fourth mysterious force."

"This world is getting more and more interesting."

"I thought I had already turned on the easy mode, but now it seems it's not that easy."

"However, it's not a big problem. The great calamity of the future is still far away. It won't be long before I become a demon god."

"Looking at it this way, even if I could beat all the saints with one hand and pin the gods to the ground, I wouldn't be truly invincible. There's definitely something in that Void Sea, and the ultimate intelligent beings. Are they all really wiped out?!"

"Even so, there are absolutely no demon gods among them. Once I become a saint, anyone who dares to show their face will die."

Li Qi pondered to himself, "Although the Heavenly Blade shattered the edge of my will, what is truly terrifying in this world is the unknown, not the known."
