Chapter 922 The Legend of Emperor Qi
Log: Extracting projection copy...

Log: A spacetime beacon has been detected. In progress...

Log: Special dungeon "Legend of the Emperor's Revelation" has been secured.

Log: "Legend of the Emperor's Revelation": After Emperor Ming passed away ten thousand eons ago, a new era begins. Brilliant talents emerge, and all paths vie for supremacy. In this era, who will become supreme, and who will prove their Dao to Heaven?!

This is a story called Qi, and it all begins with the Li family of the Canglan Great Realm...

Looking at the refreshed log and reading the description, Li Qi knew that there was a problem with his timeline; the time was wrong.

"In the heavens beyond today, Emperor Fu passed away after 80,000 kalpas. As for Emperor Ming, he was a figure from a million kalpas ago. One kalpa is 129,600 years. So, it's been a full 100 billion years since then..."

"Hyperdimensional, hyperdimensional, I underestimated the variable of hyperdimensionality."

"Because the world is in a hyperdimensional accelerated state, the spacetime beacons have also been affected. However, the most powerful impact is on my control panel, which directly traverses billions of years of time..."

"It's just Emperor Qi..."

"As expected, everything was predetermined. The Heavenly Emperor and the God Emperor are quite something. Dao Tian can only live for 129,600 kalpas, less than 20 billion years, but they existed a hundred billion years ago. How insidious..."

"However, even billions of years cannot prove immortality, and the pitfalls ahead of immortality are quite significant."

Looking at the description of this special instance, Li Qi understood that while billions of years seemed like a long time, in the context of the multiverse, it was nothing more than the birth and death of a cosmic bubble.

The enormous number of hundreds of billions is only relative to short-lived species like humans. Just as a mayfly's day is its entire life, a day is not much of a feeling for a human.

Many people spend their days dwelling on meaningless emotions, letting time slip away.

If life is great enough, billions of years might be roughly equivalent to a thousand days for humans.

Of course, because of the existence of calamities, Dao Tiandu can only live for less than 20 billion years, while the Heavenly Emperors and a few others are guaranteed to live for at least 100 billion years. This is quite remarkable, perhaps because they have mastered some kind of extremely miraculous method to avoid calamities, or perhaps they have some kind of special reincarnation method.

In a multiverse, anything is possible.

Without hesitation, Li Qi focused his mind on the instance name and selected to start the instance, immediately refreshing the log.

Log: Spacetime beacon selection complete!

Log: Spacetime beacon anchoring complete!
Log: The body of the robbery seal is being constructed...

Log: The body of the robbery seal is being deployed...

Log: Retrieving replicas...

LOG: Scanning for copies...

Log: An error occurred; no underlying laws related to the Great Ruins were detected...

Log: Lack of runtime environment; some replication rules are being integrated...

Log: Some of the laws of the dungeon are inscribed within the body of the Calamity Seal...

Log: Engraving completed!
Log: Same-origin other self detected, anchoring in progress...

Diary: In the instant of death, Li Qi desperately craved power, but even if he burned everything, it was meaningless. Fate neither favored him nor responded to him. In the end, the only power to change him was his future self. Diary: The Body of Calamity Seal descends!

As the log refreshed to this point, Li Qi's consciousness instantly entered a state of infinite acceleration, and then suddenly broke through countless barriers, descending to the distant past billions of years ago.

A hundred billion years is an incredibly distant time. At least in the memories of the cat and dog duo, Li Qi didn't have much about this era. After all, the two of them were less than ten thousand years old combined, making them the youngest of the young. All they could remember were those Dao Heavens.

Then, what appeared before Li Qi was a vast expanse of clouds and sky, with strange energy flowing in the air—a kind of basic extraordinary energy called innate spiritual energy.

Of course, it is called the foundation because this is an ancient and desolate land. In a lower-dimensional spacetime universe, even a wisp of innate spiritual energy would be enough to cause a great deal of competition.

“Li Qi, billions of years ago, there was also a Li Qi, who was my past self…”

"My cheat is really powerful..."

Li Qi sensed the world before him. He was currently on the Cloud Pivot Divine Ship, and this was a king-level treasure.

At this moment, a panel appeared in front of Li Qi, but it only had two interfaces.

One interface is his main panel in reality, and the other is the panel of his past self. However, probably because of the remnants of the Law, this panel only displays a name and a life level as high as level 32.

In addition, there is a countdown.

The countdown to the existence of the Body of Calamity Seal: 722:42:36
This means that he can only stay in this era for a little over thirty days.

Li Qi also had an answer as to why the countdown existed. In the Great Ruins instance, the countdown was due to the Great Ruins' erosion, while here the countdown exists because the projection also consumes resources.

Even without the power of the Great Ruins, the projected body cannot exist forever.

"Looks like I'll have to speedrun this dungeon in thirty days."

"However, with me here, there shouldn't be any major problems."

"After this, if the projection is activated again, the same spacetime beacon will appear, but it may not be in this era. After all, the real world is in a hyperdimensional state and is in an accelerated state. It is really uncertain where the spacetime beacon will point. The entire multiverse is so long that time is probably more than trillions of billions of years. Before I understand the laws in this world, it is all a random lottery."

Thoughts surged in Li Qi's mind, and at the same time, his Nine Transformations of the Cicada Heart were also slightly activated, drawing some kind of resources from this past self, and even, in the darkness, drawing some kind of temporal and atmospheric aura of this era.

At this moment, his divine skill, which had long since mutated into who-knows-what form, underwent another change.

Li Qi didn't pay much attention to the strangeness of this divine skill. It was a good thing. When he activated the fourth transformation, there would definitely be great benefits and great fortune. And now, he was almost at the maximum level of proficiency in the fourth transformation.

Even if Li Qi doesn't unlock the Life Scroll later, relying solely on the guaranteed proficiency from the Heavenly Rewards system on the panel, it won't be long before he reaches that level.

At the same time, memories of his past self also flowed through Li Qi's heart. In his heart, that aspect belonging to his past self contained a faint sense of humiliation and a strong sense of resentment.

In this era, there is also the saying of the Three Thousand Great Worlds. Li Qi's past life was born in the Canglan Great World, which ranks seventeenth among the Three Thousand Great Worlds.

The Canglan Li family was no ordinary family. About a million years ago, a powerful figure named Li Xingmeng appeared in the Canglan Li family. Although she was a woman, she possessed great fortune and was born to meet a calamity. In just 30,000 years, she cultivated to the extreme realm in the Three Thousand Great Worlds before ascending to the Desolate Ancient Land.

The universe has its own order. Ascension is easy, but descent is difficult. Part of it is the order of the heavenly way, and part of it is the heavenly court's rules. Of course, if one is strong enough, one can ignore it.

Or, like the Li family, having connections in the upper realm allows them to send their children to smuggle themselves there.
