Those who face the wall, but are in the Nascent Soul stage.

Chapter 336 Ice Cubes (4k)

"Can't beat it."

"Can't beat it."

The same thought arose in the minds of Luo Qing and Li Bai at the same time, but neither of them stopped first and continued to exchange endless sword moves.

One entity roams the timeline of the past 42 minutes, launching attacks on Li Bai across different timelines; the other is structured in the highest dimension of space, constantly besieging Luo Qing with high-dimensional projections.

Luo Qing made the first move, but his opponent was often faster. The advanced eleven-dimensional life form had completely surpassed the old Luo Qing in speed.

The opponent's reaction speed, attack speed, and dodge speed are all based on the highest spatial dimension of the eleventh dimension, which is the spatial dimension of the early stages of the Big Bang, where all speeds are approximately infinite.

But Luo Qing is different. In Li Bai's eyes, Luo Qing's 16% of the speed of light in the three-dimensional vacuum is no different from that of a snail.

In other words, Luo Qing's attacks across various timelines are quite troublesome.

The current situation is that every Planck time interval, there is a Luo Qing attacking Li Bai, and even though Li Bai's speed is almost infinite, he is starting to struggle.

It is different from the ghostly thing disguised as a human in front of us; its energy is limited.

Li Bai prided himself on having witnessed many god-like civilizations and their powerful divine individuals—the Zero-Returners, the Risk Eliminators, and the Unifying Wills—all beings capable of shaking the underlying logic of the universe's rules. However, he had never seen anything like this structure existing on a past one-dimensional timeline. Even though the other party was as foolish as a country bumpkin god, this method was beyond Li Bai's comprehension.

Luo Qing prided himself on having encountered many gods, including the Risk Taker Sensor and the Entropy-Leveling Light Perch he had just defeated. But now he realized the gap between gods was greater than the difference between a monkey and a stellar-class warship. This creature from the 'Poetry' race was completely incomparable to the Entropy-Leveling Light Perch. The Entropy-Leveling Light Perch was at least a special structure existing in a three-dimensional universe, but this enemy? Eleven dimensions! Honestly, Luo Qing hadn't even fully grasped four dimensions yet! In any case, this enemy was far beyond Luo Qing's ability to handle.

"I'll lose if this continues." Luo Qing was shocked as he felt himself being killed one by one by his opponents within a Planck time of at least one nanosecond.

"I'll lose if this continues." Li Bai realized Luo Qing's infinite energy core, and then looked at his own Eleven Vigchi Points, which he had already consumed several particles of, and was shocked.

Luo Qing was being harassed by this bastard and even Fleet International couldn't save him. Li Bai wanted to learn some talismans from Luo Qing but was inexplicably beaten up. Both sides were very angry at first, but after fighting for several hours, they were now considering a truce and negotiation.

After this idea was conceived, neither side stopped, each hoping the other would stop first, and thus chose to continue their exchange of blows.

It is worth mentioning that although the battle between the two sides could easily destroy the entire solar system, both sides deliberately kept their attack range limited and did not use any large-scale attacks.

Li Bai did this to "protect the primary site where art originated".

Luo Qingchun did it purely to protect her home.

Leaving aside the four thousand ships of the solar system that were turned into fireworks by the water droplets, the planets within the solar system's orbit are humanity's most precious assets. Warships can be rebuilt, and people can be resurrected, but once a planet is gone, it's truly gone.

Unfortunately, the Earth Vein Star Array only had time to be set up for the five stars of water, fire, earth, metal, and moon. Luo Qing planned to find time to put defensive arrays on the five stars of the ring of wood, earth, heaven, and sea, as well as the fixed star, the sun.

This means that in the solar system, if the battlefield were the Trisolaran system, Luo Qing would have already thrown out three suns to crush Li Bai to death.

This is why, although the energy level of their battle was comparable to a solar helium flash, the consequences were not severe.

For Earth, the most consumed strategic resources in this battle were probably the quick-acting heart medicine taken by those old scientists and politicians.

In the vacuum, one held a quasi-immortal artifact, the Cloud Sword, while the other held an eleven-dimensional space shaped like a sword. The energy collision between their every move was enough to make the sun beside them feel like a greenhorn.

"Stop fighting!"

A vague will emanated from near the sun.

The two stopped fighting at the same time and looked in that direction.

"Entropy-flattened light amber?" Li Bai exclaimed softly. Could it be that this black potato is going to join forces with Luo Qing?

"Entropy-Level Light Amber!" Luo Qing's heart sank. Could it be that Light Amber had broken through the Entropy-Level Trap and was about to join forces with Li Bai?
Luo Qing secretly made a sword incantation. If the light amber moved even slightly, this Nascent Soul realm sword light, powerful enough to kill a Nascent Soul cultivator, would directly cleave it in two.

Even if it can't kill Guangpo, it can still make the other party feel extreme "pain"... This little thing is probably afraid of pain.

However, Luo Qing guessed that the Entropy Flat Light Amber probably did not have the ability to break through the Entropy Flat Trap. There were only two ways to break through the Entropy Flat Trap: either it would enter a state of entropy reduction, or it would enter a state of entropy increase.

The state of entropy reduction means time reversal, which is impossible to achieve on the Light Amber. The state of entropy increase means that the brightest fireworks in the entire universe will explode instantly. With the brightness of photons collected by the Light Amber over billions of years, once it explodes, the neighboring Trisolaran world will instantly usher in a fourth sun.

However... there is another way.

That is, it merges with the entropy flat trap to become a larger entropy flat light amber.

However, this method has a fatal flaw: the entropy level trap was built by Luo Qing, and after merging with the entropy level trap, Luo Qing will naturally be able to completely control the entropy level light amber.

Such a choice, which would mean losing one's freedom, would certainly not be chosen. For a god-like being, it would be far more important than life itself.

The next moment, Entropy Flat Light Amber rushed toward Li Bai at the speed of light.

'They were definitely after me,' Li Bai realized.

'They really are going to join forces.' Luo Qing became wary.

But Luo Qing quickly realized that Guang Po had regained its mobility and hadn't exploded, meaning it had chosen to merge with the Entropy Flattening Trap. This also meant that he could…

Has the light amber been controlled?
"Don't hit him! He's bright! You're not bright enough! You're bad!"

After Luo Qing realized this, Guang Po rushed towards Li Bai at the speed of light and directly swallowed Li Bai with his main body.

Li Bai had no intention of being trapped in the entropy reduction trap. For an individual like him, briefly entering an entropy reduction state to escape would be a huge drain on his energy. Therefore, he directly entered a higher-dimensional space and moved behind Guang Po at a speed far exceeding the speed of light in the three-dimensional universe. He then immediately created a black hole-level gravitational force, briefly trapping Guang Po in the core of the gravitational trap.

"No, no, you're not allowed to shoot!"

"No!"

"Come at me!"

"Bite you."

"You bad thing, don't bully it, it's shiny." "Damn it, damn it."

Light Amber was briefly trapped in the invisible singularity of a black hole. Even at the speed of light, it could not escape the gravitational trap of the black hole and could only be trapped there in powerless rage.

Luo Qing fell silent. He had experienced Li Bai's method before and was indeed unable to escape. In the end, he escaped by directly cutting into another Planck time point that was not trapped by the black hole's gravitational trap.

Li Bai looked at Luo Qing and clicked his tongue in amazement: "The notoriously cowardly Entropy Ping Guangpo from this star group actually dared to attack me. She's known for being weak, tsk."

Luo Qing fell silent, and the cloud sword in his hand also made a soft click before disappearing back into the quantum world and returning to Lin Yun's hand.

It refused to fight for Luo Qing.

With Guangbo's sudden intervention, this battle should indeed come to an end.

Luo Qing, wandering through various Planck times, retraces to this very moment, forming the unique Luo Qing.

Li Bai, who existed in the eleventh dimension in the early universe, was re-solidified and projected, repairing his riddled body and forming the complete Li Bai.

Luo Qing didn't look at the Entropy Flat Light Amber writhing inside the black hole's gravitational trap; he looked at Li Bai.

"I've already promised to compensate you for swallowing the Giant Ring. I'll have humanity spend two hundred years rebuilding 30,000 Giant Ring engines. By then, some dinosaurs will stay on Earth, and some will follow the Giant Ring. You can get lost now."

Li Bai shook his head: "It's just a small ring and some small lizards. I can give them to you if you want."

Luo Qing's expression was dangerous: "So you mean, continue fighting, is that right?"

Li Bai was puzzled: "You seem to harbor great hostility towards me."

Suppressing his anger, Luo Qing pointed at the four droplets that would soon catch up with the main force of the remaining solar system fleet and said, "Your obstruction has led to the destruction of more than 4,000 main warships and more than 10,000 secondary main warships of my civilization by foreign enemies, and the deaths of more than 1.3 million space force soldiers. This does not even include the casualties of the dinosaur reinforcements and individual Light Speakers. To this day, more than 200,000 humans are still gliding into outer space at 1% of the speed of light. All of this could have been avoided."

Li Bai was even more puzzled: "The human race numbers over ten billion, and this is only a loss of one ten-thousandth. Moreover, with you here, is there any possibility of victory for the Trisolaran system four light-years away? What's the big deal?"

Luo Qing flipped his hands, and two more top-tier spirit swords, the White Emperor Holy Sword and the Azure Sea Cloud Wave Sword, appeared in his hands. "If you maintain this attitude towards all the losses my civilization has suffered, then there's no point in saying more. Let's fight again."

"Dipping beans! Dipping beans!" The entropy-flattened light amber trapped in the gravity trap also shouted with similar thoughts.

But Li Bai no longer wanted to fight him. If things continued like this, being beaten so badly by a native god of the Milky Way would make him a laughingstock among his kind.

“Okay, I understand.” Li Bai raised his hands slightly. “You are a local god, and you haven’t abandoned the emotions of carbon-based life forms. Like the Carbon-Based Federation, you have strong feelings of kinship. That was wrong of me. I respect and understand your niche and unique hobby.”
"...But I had no hostility at first. I simply admired the talismans you created when you fought Shang Pingguangpo. I just found the characters on those lights and shadows quite wondrous, and my initial intention was to learn from you. Otherwise, I wouldn't have deliberately transformed into a human and communicated with you in human language."

After speaking, Li Bai pointed to his own 'Li Bai' appearance, his tone quite sincere.

The Li Bai of today is a human figure made of hazy light and mist, dressed in ancient Chinese clothing, with an indistinct face, and holding a high-dimensional sword in his hand.

Luo Qing could see his sincerity, which made her feel even more powerless, like punching cotton.

"Can't you study at another time? Didn't I already warn you and that warship not to interfere with the solar system?"

Li Bai frankly admitted, "I hadn't considered this carefully. I thought we were the same, and that we could communicate very efficiently... So, can you still teach me?"

"Give me 500 spirit stones to become my disciple, or you'll never learn a thing about talisman techniques." After saying this, Luo Qing immediately entered his maximum flight speed of 16% of the speed of light and flew towards the water droplet heading towards the sun.

"What is a spirit stone?" Li Bai pondered.

There are a total of nine droplets in the solar system. He first needs to destroy the droplet that is heading towards sealing off the sun, then destroy the second and third droplets that are fighting against the dinosaurs and human reinforcements, then destroy the two droplets in Jupiter's orbit that are playing hide-and-seek with MOSS, and finally hunt down the last four droplets that are the remaining main force of the solar system fleet, and then settle accounts with the Trisolaran civilization.

His flight speed is limited, and it will take some time in this vast solar system. Although his individual attack methods can reach the speed of light, the water droplets are in motion and may not be able to hit them, and even if they are hit, they may not be able to destroy them.

Only when Luo Qing crushed the water droplet with his own hands could he feel at peace.

"Wait a minute." Li Bai teleported to the front of Luo Qing, who was as slow as a snail.

"What, you want to help me?" Luo Qing frowned.

The opponent possesses the ability to instantly jump from the edge of the Milky Way to the solar system; intercepting and destroying these nine water droplets would be far too easy for them.

“Those exquisite little toys are quite cute… I mean, you don’t need to fly anymore. Three hours ago, the commander of the Galactic Carbon-Based Federation authorized the launch of an ice block. This ice block is flying towards Jupiter at near-light speed. It’s just that it’s far away, so it’s only just arrived at Jupiter now. It should be ready to be released soon.”

"Ice cubes," Luo Qing said, puzzled.

"Ice Cube, a very well-known weapon in the universe, how come you don't even know about it?"

"I...it's none of your business whether I know or not!" Luo Qing said angrily.

"What's the use of the Ice Cube?" Luo Qing asked again.

Li Bai explained, "The solar system will be temporarily frozen. During this period, everything from tiny water droplets to small warships, even the sun itself, will be frozen. I'm not sure if you can escape this frozen state, but you should be able to. Once that happens, the water droplets will stop moving, giving you ample time to destroy these exquisite little gadgets. This is just a small block of ice; a large block of ice can freeze the entire Milky Way."

Luo Qing remained silent for a moment, then asked, "If that's the case, and they wanted to mediate, why didn't the Carbon-Based Federation's warships act sooner?"

Li Bai said helplessly, "Do you think that warship can be like me? The warship made a stellar leap from 122 light-years away, directly jumping to Eridanus, and then initiated a high-power space jump from Eridanus, completing this difficult leap across ten light-years before finally arriving near the solar system. This exhausted all the energy it used for the leap. They are already traveling as fast as they can, with a minimum speed of light."

Li Bai continued, "In fact, when this warship first arrived at the Oort Cloud in the solar system, those tiny water droplets had already surrounded the human fleet. Even if this warship were to travel at the speed of light, it would take some time to travel from the Oort Cloud to the Kuiper Belt, and then some more time to travel from the Kuiper Belt to Jupiter's orbit... With all that time wasted, the human spaceships would have been almost completely destroyed."

Li Bai continued, "In any case, the Ice Cube has now reached its destination. After it is released, it will spread at the speed of light. All the water droplets and the remaining human warships will be frozen because they will not be able to reach the speed of light to escape... So I told you not to worry. Once the Carbon-Based Federation arrives, the war between humanity and the Trisolarans can be ended."

Termination is impossible; the Trisolarans will inevitably perish. But they must act behind the backs of the Carbon-Based Federation.

Luo Qing thought about it, but didn't speak, pondering for a long time.

"Weren't they... here to destroy the sun?"

Li Bai slapped his thigh: "The commander of the Carbon-Based Federation Fleet would be heartbroken to hear you say that."
