People are in reality, transcending the other side

Chapter 842 The Power of Ruins
"The workings of Heaven have their own laws, and so do the workings of humanity. The unity of Heaven and humanity is the Great Dao. Under the Great Dao, even if there are exceptions within its framework, they can never completely escape its scope. You reap what you sow. Even if there are outcasts, they cannot surpass the limits of their kind..."

"Where did his wisdom and knowledge come from?!"

In a corner of the earth, the god of the Demon God Research Institute was talking to himself.

"Under the Great Dao, there are calamities, fortunes, destinies, and fixed rules. There are heavens beyond heavens and boundaries beyond boundaries. This person may have come from beyond heavens, a projection that was reborn as a human. Although it did not bring power, it has an extraordinary essence."

"Furthermore, this person's identity outside the heavens is an existence of terrifying unbelievable proportions. Not only has he reached the essence, but he can also transcend dimensions, transmit various profound truths of cultivation, and attain enlightenment in dreams. In one great dream, he surpasses the cultivation of countless people over thousands of lifetimes."

"His identity as a human being is nothing but a disguise, an illusion. He cultivates himself and seeks enlightenment in the mortal world. He even believes in his own identity, so he appears to be a human being on the surface."

"We are one, why resist?!"

"The most crucial turning point in this world is about to arrive. If you and I unite, we still have a chance to stand firm in the torrent of the future. Otherwise, we will surely be reduced to ashes."

"In the multiverse, no strong person becomes strong step by step. Without madness, there is no life. If you want to do what others cannot do, you must think what others dare not think."

"As long as we unite, we can steal the power of the Void Calamity, and it won't be long before we become Demon Gods, or even higher. It's not a difficult thing."

At this moment, the god's temperament and demeanor changed completely. His expression became cruel and insane, and black demonic patterns spread across his face.

"You make it sound wonderful, but I don't believe you!"

"Once I consume you, you will be mine, and the power of Dark Calamity will also be mine."

The god suddenly calmed down, and the black demonic patterns on his face turned platinum in that instant. At this moment, his expression was calm and indifferent, and his intense divinity seemed to shine into the vast universe.

"Daoist Master..."

Could it be you?!

The god murmured, then his figure flashed and disappeared, leaving no trace.

……

Li Qi returned to the mortal realm, descending from outer space. His demonic battle body then dissolved into liquid, eventually forming a giant metal sphere in the air. The sphere slowly shrank until it was the size of a fist before landing in Li Qi's hand.

Ancient civilizations had already developed space technology, but this technology was extremely energy-intensive and difficult to sustain for long periods.

The simplest way to warp space is to utilize higher-dimensional characteristics. With just a little force, a huge warping effect can be achieved. Using pure energy to warp space is extremely energy-intensive.

Therefore, Li Qi also slightly improved the spatial technology in the Demon God Battle Body, greatly reducing its energy consumption.

His current understanding of time and space far surpasses that of an entire ancient civilization.

After all, he cheated.

"This thing is more like a toy to me; it has little practical value, since I already possess real power."

Li Qi toyed with the platinum sphere, thinking to himself.

As for his so-called true power, it is the extraordinary energy within him, or rather, his higher-dimensional characteristics.

There is a fundamental difference between power acquired from external sources and power created by oneself. Extraordinary energy created by oneself truly controls everything, while using other extraordinary energies, even if one supposedly understands all their mysteries, ultimately makes one merely a user, not a true owner.

As time went by, discussions about this battle became increasingly heated in reality and online. The things that countless people witnessed in this battle were too astonishing, and there was nothing so exaggerated in the history of the world, not even in many myths.

With a single strike, a new world is opened.

This kind of thing undoubtedly possesses an eternal brilliance.

Many people feel that even if millions or tens of millions of years pass, no one will be able to surpass that one strike.

"What 'Three Dreams of Annihilation'? They're nothing but delusions. The Daoist Master is invincible and will not accept explanations!"

"Who dares to claim invincibility, who dares to say they are undefeated?! Only the Dao Venerable!"

All sorts of comments appeared online, with countless people venting their turbulent emotions.

In reality, countless people gather outside to pray or offer praise, just like the most devout believers offering their highest faith to their one true God.

That fervent emotion permeated the heavens and the void, threatening to ignite the entire earth.

Countless people have had their past gloom swept away and are now filled with confidence for the future.

"Daoist Master..."

"This person is indeed extraordinary, but if the Heavenly Emperor were to descend, he would be nothing more than this. He has no idea what a great being he is about to face."

"Hmph, the Demon God is just the beginning, while the Heavenly Emperor has already reached the end of the Great Dao!"

Even in the darkness, people were whispering among themselves.

……

Li Qi did not return to the Cicada Heart Sect, but continued to traverse mountains and rivers to build the Nine Provinces Dojo. At night, he naturally fell into a deep sleep, which was also part of his cultivation. It could even be said that he was now truly living when he opened his eyes and dying when he closed them. Every sleep was a cycle of life and death, which could greatly enhance his life strength.

The log was updated the day after Li Qi woke up naturally.

Log: The world was on the brink of destruction, and you bravely stepped in, saving it from annihilation! Your image in the hearts of countless people has deepened dramatically. Some see you as the hope for salvation, others as the sole god, the only ruler… Influenced by the beliefs of all, your special title, Dao Venerable, has experienced tremendous growth, increasing to 68% of its original color.
Log: Throughout the world, almost everyone has a profound impression of you. Your reputation has grown incredibly. People's hearts are destiny, and the gathering of hearts is fate. Your fate has increased by 125645226, and in the near future, your daily fate gain will increase by 4526587...

Log: Human nature is destiny. Influenced by the tide of fate, your Five Elements have gained extra power accumulation. Current progress: 1556452 (67%)

This time, Li Qiming's gains were undoubtedly enormous, but there is still a long way to go before he can advance to a level beyond color.

Once you reach the realm of color, there are no more detailed hierarchical distinctions; going a step further, you reach the realm of creation.

The difference between gold and colored is only a hundredfold, while the difference between colored and creation is a thousandfold. To elevate an entry to the level of creation, one needs 10 billion destiny points, and five entries would require 50 billion.

Even if Li Qi's daily life gain is close to ten million, it would still take five thousand days, or nearly fourteen years.
