People are in reality, transcending the other side

Chapter 854 A New Miracle
The convergence of calamities still requires time, and Li Qi continues to grow stronger. On the morning of the second day, after entering a dungeon and battling the Emperor, Li Qi not only relied on the slight advantage brought by completing the second transformation of the Great Dao to successfully defeat the Emperor's Great Ruins state, but also successfully extracted a Miracle Fragment.

Undoubtedly, this means that the ultimate form of evil energy is about to be revealed to Li Qi.

Indeed, Li Qi has learned a lot from the Emperor during this period. He is getting stronger and stronger, and the disturbance of the Great Ruins to him is constantly weakening. However, even so, it is still not enough for him to see the full extent of the evil energy.

"The power of evil energy is incredibly wondrous. If I could elevate it to the Creation level, it would definitely greatly enhance the strength of my will, and even allow me to comprehend the true power of will."

"The essence of so-called personality is actually to extract something from the human heart and the will. Evil energy anchors the will, and the highest personality is itself a perfect union of the two."

"If I could learn all the secrets, it would be of great benefit to me in creating my own unique source of extraordinary power in the future."

Li Qi looked at the fragments of miracles in his backpack, pondering to himself.

He did not believe that all primordial demons were the same, and that there were definitely differences in their strength and power.

In this situation, before proving oneself to be a Primordial Demon God, the stronger one is, the better, if one has the ability.

Then, Li Qi had a thought and used the Miracle Fragment. The colorful glow shone through the panel, and the log was refreshed.

Log: You have locked onto the origin of the Miracle Fragment, the spacetime beacon is anchoring...

Log: Detected that the past timeline has been swallowed by the Great Ruins and turned into nothingness, in progress...

Log: The judgment indicates that the body of the Calamity Seal has higher weight, forcibly breaking the Great Ruins' convergence state...

Log: In his despair, Shi Ming prayed to all the evil gods, asking them to grant him the power to change his fate, but this time, only his future self answered him!

Log: The beacon anchors, the true history manifests, transforming into the anchor point called the present, the body of the calamity seal descends!
The immense power, condensed to its extreme, transcended time and space, shattered the anchor of the Great Ruins, and directly transported Li Qi to the past of the Star World.

"Kid, as long as you finish three matches, you can get ten silver. No matter why you came here, judging from your appearance, it's enough for you."

"Don't be afraid. As a newcomer, your opponents are also newcomers. You still have a chance to survive."

What appeared before Li Qi was a stone room that resembled a prison. All five sides of the room were made of stone, and only at the very front could one see the open space outside and the faint shadows of important figures in the shadows above.

Speaking next to him was a middle-aged man with an indifferent gaze. The man only had one arm and was simply repeating the same words to the supplies that were about to be used.

He had lost count of how many times he had said those words, just as no one remembers how many loaves of bread they have eaten.

As for whether what he said was true or false, he could only say that most of the time it was true, with newcomers fighting newcomers. But there are always exceptions in this world. Sometimes, when some popular gladiators enter the arena, they are always given a few warm-up fights. If you are chosen for that, you can only consider yourself unlucky.

In places like the Imperial Arena, there are no laws. Only the living get paid, and the dead are simply gone.

No one can reason with the noble lords of the empire.

At this moment, memories naturally surfaced in Li Qi's mind, making him clearly aware that he was one of the few exceptions.

The empire's noble lord, wanting something more exciting, forcibly changed the match schedule, so his first battle was against a champion gladiator known as the Blood Demon God. In a sense, this was undoubtedly an unbelievable matchmaking system.

But in the Empire, this kind of thing is common.

He actually knew beforehand that there were exceptions in the arena, but he was clinging to a sliver of hope, thinking that this was the only place where he could save his family.

If we hadn't come here, my sister and I would have starved to death in a day or two, and my seriously ill mother would have starved to death as well.

If you come here and are lucky enough to meet three people weaker than yourself, your whole family can survive.

This is the empire, the empire of today.

Legend has it that the empire once had a golden age, its influence spreading throughout the universe. It was a true paradise, a golden land where even commoners had an abundance of food.

Then, the warp storm arrived, and the ancient gods of chaos within the warp, the nine pillars of the world, awakened, peering into the material world. Humanity's emperor had no choice but to ascend to godhood at this moment to block the gaze of the evil gods of chaos.

The connections between the planets of the Empire were also severed, and history turned in another direction.

At the same time, when the emperor ascended to godhood, he also issued an edict to all imperial powers, prohibiting mankind from worshipping evil gods.

The imperial high command on Shi Ming's planet did indeed do this, but their system was completely opposite to the emperor's orders.

Just like Shi Ming, whose whole family was about to die and who had nowhere else to turn, he had no choice but to gamble his life in the dueling arena.

At such a moment, just as he is about to be killed, if an evil god were to bestow a blessing, anyone with a sound mind would know what to choose.

Shi Ming did just that. When facing the Blood Demon God, Khorne, one of the Nine Primal Pillars, bestowed a blessing upon him, which he accepted without hesitation, and directly tore the Blood Demon God apart.

As for the Empire, they had long had contingency plans for such things. In fact, the reason they wanted to see powerful gladiators kill the weak as a warm-up was precisely because they hoped that such a thing would happen.

Over the long years, the empire had become corrupt. Although it was protected by the Emperor's decrees and was not affected by the distortions and aberrations of the warp, the natural corruption of people's hearts rendered the Emperor's power useless.

Thus, Shi Ming, who killed the Blood Demon God, was directly killed by the Imperial Guard. This group of guards also followed the path of the emperor and were most skilled at dealing with the followers of evil gods.

"This world is truly terrible. The Emperor did give humanity hope for survival, preventing an entire race from being completely corrupted by fel energy and turning into monsters. However, he has not yet become the Supreme Being, so his power is limited. He can protect humanity, but he cannot influence people's hearts."

"On the contrary, people all over the world have been affected by evil energy, and their minds are more easily corrupted..."

Li Qi thought to himself, ignoring the person speaking in his ear, and instead looking at the faces of those frenzied imperial nobles in the shadows.

At first glance, it's as if a hundred ghosts are roaming at night, embodying all the evils of humanity.

A formidable power surged within him, enabling him to easily overturn this arena and effortlessly destroy the entire upper echelons of an empire.
