People are in reality, transcending the other side

Chapter 677 We Should Emulate the Great Han Chess Saint (Sixth Update! 19600 Monthly Tickets Added! Requesting Monthly Tickets!)

"It seems that Aqi has been quite stimulated this time. Well, he missed all the exciting plot points as soon as he went into seclusion. Who else would be more self-conscious if not him?"

Sun Guang looked at the message Li Qifa had sent and pondered to himself.

"But wait, isn't this the plot of Warrior of Light? Daigo always manages to miss Ultraman's appearance."

Suddenly, he had a sense of déjà vu.

"How can it be……"

"Do you believe that Aqi is the Daoist Master, or do you believe that I am the Warrior of Light?"

Sun Guang shook his head, banishing the strange idea from his mind.

Then, driven by the belief that friendship is priceless, Sun Guang replied against his conscience.

Sun Guang: Aqi, it's good to have dreams. After all, in this world, who doesn't have a few aliases?
Sun Guang: I'll also tell you a secret, I'm actually a Warrior of Light.
After reading it, Li Qi smiled. He knew perfectly well whether Sun Guang was a Warrior of Light or not. He truly possessed the Daoist Master's mask, but he genuinely couldn't produce Sun Guang's transformation device...

"I hope that in six months, Ah Guang will be stronger and won't do anything rash."

Li Qi smiled and saved the file to the cloud drive once again.

Afterwards, Li Qi played with the famous sword that he hadn't touched for several months, mentally cleansing it before hanging it on his waist and leaving home.

It was only noon, and although it was already winter, it wasn't cold because the sun was high in the sky. However, since it wasn't the weekend, there weren't many people in the village.

His parents, at this time, were naturally also in Tiannan.

"It feels like a lifetime ago..."

Li Qi looked around at this familiar land and murmured to himself.

The village was still the same village, with no changes in the architectural layout or feng shui. However, compared to before he left, he was now worlds apart. He had achieved enlightenment in one tribulation, reached the pinnacle of his Sacred Heart, and was in the weakest yet strongest special state. Even the strongest Sacred could not see the world as meticulously and profoundly as he did.

He stirred up storms in the outside world, causing earth-shattering events time and time again, but for this corner of the world, time still moved slowly, and the storms outside did not reach here.

As Li Qi sensed this familiar yet different corner of the world, his spiritual world also underwent a slight change. The cycle of gods and humans continued, and while his divinity did not diminish, his humanity grew rapidly, and he quickly reached a point of equilibrium again.

During this period, he fought against heaven and earth, killed people, acted lawlessly and was invincible. In addition, he became stronger in a crazy way, and gradually he naturally developed a sense of the ruthlessness of heaven and regarded all things as straw dogs.

This is actually partly due to the life story of Yuanshi Tianzun.

He and Yuanshi Tianzun are two sides of the same coin; even if the Great Dream leaves no trace, it is impossible for it to be completely unaffected.

However, unlike Yuanshi Tianzun, he has his own human anchor in the mortal world, so even if his divinity is strong, his humanity can grow and achieve a certain balance.

This kind of adjustment is very slow elsewhere, but it becomes infinitely faster only when we return to this familiar place.

The saying "fallen leaves return to their roots" illustrates this principle.

A place is just a place; what gives it meaning is the people themselves. Over the past decade or so, some of Li Qi's humanistic anchors have long been integrated into this land.

As humanity grows, Li Qi's spiritual world becomes more active and spiritual. The pure Heavenly Way is a rational cycle where everything returns to its natural order. However, the addition of the human way introduces more variables, which is also the key to the pure path of the demon god and transcending the universe.

As for the impure path of demons and gods, such as those on the Force side, they transcend the universe by relying on the variables brought about by the extraordinary energy of the Force, seeking externally rather than achieving internally. If there are no variables, only the Heavenly Dao, at most they will become Dao Gods, equal to or even one with the universe, but they cannot surpass it.

However, as Li Qi's realm has gradually increased, he has also sensed some more profound things. The Dao God is actually a very extraordinary path. He merges with the universe, becomes the master of the universe, and then continuously expands and advances the universe. He can even actively evolve higher-dimensional spacetime and lower-dimensional sources to complete a certain kind of ascension and perfection, and finally achieve incredible greatness.

In fact, even some saints who have reached the pinnacle of the holy path can feel this kind of mysterious sensation, which is why the legends of demons and gods have continued throughout history.

The path to becoming a demon god has long been seen by others, but proving it is too difficult. They can see it but cannot prove it, thus leaving behind countless regrets.

"Above the sky, the vastness of the universe is revealed; within the earth, the spirit of our ancestors is preserved; and in the human world, the living write a vast history..."

When the humanity growing within him connected with the anchor point in the earth, a subtle, profound sense of emotion welled up within Li Qi.

A pure God would deny everything about humanity, considering humankind itself meaningless, just as a person would look at an ant, therefore they are not human.

Only through understanding can one come to accept it.

Afterwards, Li Qi went out of his house and strolled around the village. He saw the place where he was born and the place where he played as a child. He grew up on this land and once dreamed with his childhood friends here.

But now, the place remains the same, but the people have scattered and rarely gather.

Some people in the village saw him, but although they were all from the same village, only a handful of them knew him well. When he was inconspicuous, no one paid much attention to him. Now that he was shining brightly, those who didn't know him well were even more hesitant to approach him.

Finally, he went to the courtyard where Li Changqing lived. The gatekeeper naturally didn't stop him. He asked about the old man's whereabouts and then opened the gate for him.

Li Changqing's courtyard was not large, but it was small and exquisite, with many scenic spots that formed a miniature landscape. His house was also more in the traditional style, not a modern villa.

Li Qi walked through the front yard and went directly to the back yard.

In the backyard, Li Changqing was playing chess with Li Tianxing. The two were locked in a fierce battle, and Li Qi glanced at the chessboard and immediately understood their styles.

Li Changqing's chess style is shrewd and ruthless, proceeding step by step with a cautious approach. Most of his moves are stable, but in crucial moments, he is willing to sacrifice everything and fight back to open up the game.

It is often said that watching a game of chess is like observing a person, and this is undoubtedly a true reflection of Li Changqing.

As for Li Tianxing, he was also steady and meticulous, skilled in planning and strategizing, and always accumulated advantages from the smallest details. However, at crucial moments, he lacked the courage to act decisively. Although he avoided disaster, he also struggled to achieve great success.

This also reflects Li Tianxing's character.

Li Qi did not disturb the two, observing the game in silence until more than ten minutes later, when the outcome was decided, with Li Changqing winning by half a point.

"Li Qi, if you were Tianxing, how would you break this deadlock?!"

At this moment, Li Changqing asked with a smile.

"The outcome of the game is not important. If it were me, I would naturally follow the example of the great chess master of the Han Dynasty."

Li Qi responded with a smile, saying that he was the kind of person who didn't follow any established rules.

As for what constitutes the Great Han Chess Saint, it is, of course, someone who picks up the chessboard and directly attacks their opponent.
