People are in reality, transcending the other side

Chapter 789 He came still in the mortal realm, and left already invincible.

He wasn't afraid of the variables themselves; he was more curious about the underlying principles and how those variables were triggered.

Therefore, he did not descend directly through the death line, but instead relied on the mysterious threads of destiny to study the structure of the void and explore the cosmic algorithm of the universe itself.

The stronger the power accumulated within his crown of destiny, the clearer the patterns became in his eyes.

At the same time, he would not waste his power if he did not activate the Death Line Descent. When the Crown of Destiny turned into half-color, Li Qi was surprised to find that after accumulating the power of one Death Line Descent, the power could continue to accumulate.

After that, Li Qi went to the Xuantian Pavilion and picked up his trophy.

It was a pure gold dragon with bared fangs and claws, weighing 1,000 jin (500 kg) and worth 2.5 billion yuan.

This amount of money isn't much, but it has a different meaning.

Logically, after the competition in the morning, the awards ceremony should be held in the afternoon, where Emperor Xuan would personally present the awards, which would be a great honor for the martial arts champion.

However, after Li Qi finished the match, he also beat up the referee, Emperor Xuan, and then went into seclusion, so the award ceremony was canceled.

However, although Li Qi was not there, no one dared to touch the trophy, and it remained there.

Li Qilai accepted the trophy not because of its value or glory, but more because of a faint sense of nostalgia after achieving some unrealistic life goal he had previously set for himself.

Value and glory mean absolutely nothing to him, the future leader of the world.

"Thinking back to what I once wished for, thinking about what I no longer want..."

Li Qi picked up the trophy and walked out of the Xuantian Pavilion step by step.

……

Later that evening, Li Qi appeared in an interview room. This was customary; every martial arts champion received an interview that would be recorded in history, not in local gazetteers, but in official history.

This usually happens the day after the Mountain and River Grand Test ends, and the time and place are determined by the program team.

After all, this program team represents the imperial court.

In this situation, if the time is missed, even a martial arts champion will inevitably be seen as arrogant.

However, since it was Li Qi who did this, no one felt there was anything wrong with it. In fact, many people felt that Li Qi's presence was a great favor to Emperor Xuan.

After all, the ashes of the Nine Seas Holy King are still floating in the sky.

Arrogance requires capital, and that's exactly what Li Qi has in abundance.

In the past, all the interviews were seen as an honor for the martial arts champion, but now, everyone believes that Li Qi's presence here is an honor for the imperial court.

Li Qi's influence is undeniable. The Nine Seas Holy King had just died this morning, and he was on the show right now, which naturally had a great effect.

"Mr. Li Qi, it's an honor to meet you here today!"

"This is probably the closest I've ever been to you."

Across from Li Qi, a female host who appeared to be only twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old spoke, though her words betrayed a hint of nervousness.

Her ability to stand opposite Li Qi is beyond doubt; she has also defeated countless opponents in terms of talent and appearance to gain this qualification.

In the last two years alone, she even interviewed Emperor Xuan several times.

However, even when facing the Xuan Emperor, she was never this nervous. If you looked closely, you could see that her hands were trembling slightly.

Even though Li Qi didn't display any imposing aura, she had personally witnessed this seemingly gentle person blast a Saint King into dust with a single palm strike that morning. She knew clearly that his gentle demeanor was merely a facade; beneath it all, he was already at the level of a god or demon.

Her loss of composure was not seen as problematic by anyone watching the live stream, including the professionals on the production team.

This performance is already quite remarkable in the face of such a terrifying life form.

"That's not necessarily true. There's still the Universal Dao Discussion next year. We've already achieved the Three Excellences and the title of Number One in the World. Now all we need is the title of Number One in the World to complete our life's achievements."

Li Qi smiled.

The first forum in the world naturally includes exclusive interviews. Generally speaking, the interview is conducted by the country where the person is from.

Li Qi's words immediately sparked countless discussions in the live stream. Many people believed that Li Qi didn't need to compete at all, and the organizers should just hand over the championship trophy. The main reason was that if Li Qi participated, it would be extremely unfriendly to the other players, making their competition experience completely unpleasant.

"If you were to participate in the Universal Dao Discussion, that would truly be a dimensional reduction attack."

“I read online that even if all the saints from the past few thousand years were resurrected, they still wouldn’t be enough for you to beat with one hand.”

"At that time, the outcome of the entire competition will be no surprise."

The host responded.

"Anything is possible. Even if you are invincible, an enemy may come from the sky. There is still suspense."

Li Qi said it casually, as if he were joking.

The host opposite her and the people watching the live broadcast also thought the same thing, believing that Li Qi was joking.

After all, things don't happen by chance. The world has been peaceful for so many years, and no enemy has ever appeared out of nowhere. It's too magical that enemies suddenly appear just because Li Qi is invincible.

I just happened to come across the Global Forum, which was absolutely magical.

Only Li Qi himself knew that this was indeed a possibility. During this period of time, he explored the Zhouguang algorithm and studied variables, and naturally gained some insights, seeing some seemingly plausible but ultimately flawed things.

However, when the extraterrestrial enemy appears, they probably won't know what they'll be facing.

After all, that's a full year. He himself can't predict how strong he'll be a year from now. The variables brought about by the projection ability are too great.

Even without considering the projection, as long as the demon god doesn't appear, he won't find a worthy opponent.

After all, in just over two months, he will be able to reverse the original state, reach the peak of truth, and then step into the realm of Dao transformation.

He also has a hundredfold experience buff, so the process of Dao transformation won't take long. The only thing that remains uncertain is a fourth transformation that surpasses the third transformation.

Even so, by the time the Universal Dao Discussion takes place, he will likely have already become a saint.

If we take into account the variables of projection, it's not impossible that something might be clashing with the primordial demon god as soon as it's refreshed.

The entire program lasted forty minutes, with the two engaging in a question-and-answer chat, which somewhat diluted Li Qi's fierce image in many people's minds.

After the program ended, many people dug up the old video of Li Qi's earliest interview after winning the Fish and Dragon Cup and it went viral.

Back then, many people were commenting on the video, saying things like, "Master Li, when will you become the best in the world?" Now, all those comments have been answered: "Now!"
It wasn't until evening that Li Qi and his group boarded a plane back to Tiannan and began their journey home.

He came into this world still in the mortal realm; he left having proven himself invincible!
