Wandao long distance

Chapter 991 War

The universe today is very different.

In this noisy and busy world, a relatively small war has once again broken out in the universe.

Of course, it is smaller than the 'War between Humans and Witches', but in fact, this is a war involving multiple second-grade warriors. For many civilizations, its intensity is not much different from the 'War between Humans and Witches'.

In the fast universe, various flying boats were mobilized, most of them were transporting supplies, and some of them were warships.

These things were running, chasing the demons, crushing them into meat paste, forcing them into dead corners and crushing them to death.

If anyone wanted to resist, they would be quickly suppressed by the powerful ones. Many of the third-grade magicians chose to withdraw and avoid a head-on confrontation.

Because the second-grade demons did not take action, and the first-grade demons were too lazy to even care.

The magic path has never been a monolithic entity, and the first-level magic path has an almost indifferent attitude towards the existence below.

No one would hope that the Heavenly Demon would protect them, right? Or would they rely on the Death Demon?

Therefore, without enough high-quality power, Li Qi's action to eradicate the Demonic Dream City was fast and rapid, and the progress was incredibly fast.

This is a long-awaited, prepared, and expected fight that has finally broken out.

On many battlefields, dead bodies were lying everywhere, and humanoid creatures with missing limbs were crushed everywhere. Countless crashed, twisted, and burned vehicles and various equipment were scattered throughout the universe.

All kinds of flying vehicles were hovering in the sky above the chaotic Dream City, and people were everywhere attacking others from rooftops and windows with weapons they were familiar with.

The most chaotic thing on the battlefield was not the fighting, but the slogans.

All the walls were covered with rough, colorful, and dazzling slogans, with huge letters bright red like burning torches.

Some of these slogans called on others to stand on the side of the Demonic Path and oppose the evil people and warmongers who attacked the Dream City. They hoped that everyone would defend their own Dream City and their own property.

Some slogans were painted over. They said that we hope everyone will wake up, not be controlled by the evil ways, and kill the demons who treat everyone as food.

Go and destroy their devilishly howling instruments of oppression. These demons use various means to squeeze every drop of oil out of others, and they don’t care about food. All they want is your pain and the ever-growing evil thoughts.

There were also some strange slogans calling on everyone to burn those man-made objects, clear out some of the tortured land, reduce the population, let grass grow on the land, and let the dusty city of dreams be transformed into a beautiful natural environment such as forests, grasslands, wastelands, streams and swamps where people can live well.

Or they may call on everyone to stop fighting, advocate peace instead of war, or promote some other ideas.

Many of the slogan boards were beautifully and gracefully painted with soft colors and clever and humorous text. The slogans were quite moving, with red, green and yellow slogans. The words on the slogans were as hot as fire, very eloquent and logically rigorous. They made people feel wonderful and couldn't help but believe that these words were correct.

This is also a kind of war.

Moreover, slogans not only exist on the streets, but also in information networks, newspapers, and various information channels, from personal information gathering places, some pubs and restaurants, to certain forums, some online information posts, and so on.

The war of ideas quickly evolved into a war in the real world.

People would stand in front of this slogan for a while, then stay in front of that slogan for a while. Of course, the fierce war sounds around them were always disturbing them, urging them: Stop looking! Hurry up and choose a slogan to join!!!

As for Li Qi, as the creator of this scene, while he was waiting for Maudgalyayana to continue to contact other great Bodhisattvas, he was also seeking ways to find the immortal heaven.

Unlike meeting great Bodhisattvas, finding an immortal is really... a bit difficult.

So far, he has no clue.

Xiantian is hiding very deeply. This cautious first-class person is not willing to expose himself to the outside world. As a wild beast, he cares most about his own life.

It was very difficult for Li Qiangguang to find the other party.

But now that he has reached the second level, no one can help him with this matter. It is not like he can ask the great bodhisattvas for help, and there is also Maudgalyayana who can help him.

If you want to find Xiantian, you can only ask others to find him slowly, and you also have to pay attention at all times and in all places.

But compared to those, the current progress is so smooth that even Li Qi finds it a bit strange.

Is the Demonic Path really not going to take care of it?

There are indeed many dream cities in the universe. In fact... creating a dream city is a kind of "method". A ninth-grade magician can also use his influence in the mortal world to build a ninth-grade dream city and then absorb the magic thoughts in it.

There is no threshold at all, it is just like the Taoist breathing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

To use an analogy, what Li Qi has to do now is to not allow Taoist practitioners to breathe the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, so that they can only pick herbs and make pills to maintain their practice.

The practitioners of the evil way can no longer use the method like the City of Dreams to brew evil thoughts on a large scale. They can only go to the doors of sentient beings one by one and find ways to parasitize and stimulate the evil thoughts of sentient beings.

This large-scale targeting did not attract any action from the high-level demons, which really made Li Qi feel a little scared.

He made a lot of preparations for this. While searching for the immortal world, he was always on guard against the counterattack of the demons.

One day, about 60 million years from now—

Li Qi was drinking tea with his father-in-law, Riyue Zhenqian Ding.

It’s called drinking tea, but at this stage, when everyone gets together to drink tea, they’re probably just chatting about what they’re currently doing.

Yang Zhenqian was also a second-grade cultivator. Although his path to enlightenment had been severed, he did not feel desperate after having gone through the war between humans and witches.

This father-in-law is naturally one of Li Qi's backup plans.

"Father-in-law, is there still no progress at this point?" Li Qi asked.

They were drinking tea in a cave. The scenery here combined the aesthetics of Wudao and Taoism, and was particularly green and exquisite. Pine trees and cranes were singing, and under the hillside covered by pine trees, there were some low-lying lawns, water seeping through the grass, and streams flowing in the dense bushes.

Yang Zhenqian ordered a cup of tea and said, "It is indeed difficult to find him. Xiantian's whereabouts have always been a secret. If your information is correct, it means that Xiantian is definitely very resistant to the outside world. When you were in Xiantian before, there was an absolute vacuum isolation zone of 3 billion light years around you. I think it was also his doing. Now that you are asking for Xiantian's whereabouts everywhere, he probably doesn't want you to find him even more."

As he spoke, he gently poured the remaining tea in his hand into the stream beside him.

The tea flowed down the stream into the numerous plants, and in a blink of an eye, all the flowers in the grassland, regardless of the season, bloomed.

The flowers all bloomed in a simple and elegant manner, with snow-white primroses suddenly blooming. Among the thorn bushes and by the water, clusters and bunches of roses bloomed.

Compared with the flowers in Chang'an Shangyuan, the flowers here appear plain, pale, and thin, but have a unique beauty. Although they lack the full charm of human flowers, making it easy for viewers to ignore them, they are more in line with Li Qi and Yang Zhenqian's aesthetics.

"That's not the problem. The key is that I'm afraid Xiantian is very stupid... I'm afraid he can't figure it out." Li Qi sighed.

"Although Xiantian is just a savage beast, he has lived for so many years after all." Yang Zhenqian comforted.

"If living long enough can bring wisdom, then the wisest thing should be stone. Wisdom is extracted from thinking. As for Xiantian, I don't think he can think. Now that I think about it, he needs to eat humans to learn even the fifth-grade magic. It is really hard to imagine that he can use his intelligence to intervene in the current first-grade conspiracy." Li Qi was a little helpless.

"That can't be helped. Why don't you just relax and think about what great Bodhisattvas have promised you?"

"Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva, and Samantabhadra Bodhisattva. Apart from them, there is no trace of Sunlight Bodhisattva and Moonlight Bodhisattva. However, Manjushri Bodhisattva refused, and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva refused to meet me. Perhaps he has not made up his mind yet." Li Qi reported the current results.

“It’s already pretty good. Together with you and me, there are Zhu Fengdan, Changqin, and the Golden Monkey. Now there are eight second-grade demons involved in this matter. Unless a first-grade demon takes action, it is unlikely to stop you and me.” Yang Zhenqian said.

"We are afraid that the First Rank will take action, so we also need the support of the First Rank." Li Qi brought the subject back.

"So I said, don't be too anxious. Do you think the Four Demons will care about the demons below? To the demons, nothing is important except themselves. What we do is just a small fight. You are blessed by the witch god. As a second-rank witch, it is unlikely that you will be directly attacked by the first-rank. The same is true for the other great bodhisattvas. Although those Buddhas have retired, they are not dead. It is said that there is no first-rank to support them, but in fact, who doesn't have a first-rank?" Yang Zhenqian said.

These words made Li Qi feel a little relieved.

indeed so.

Behind Guanyin Bodhisattva is Amitabha Buddha. Although no one knows what the other party is doing now, he should not sit idly by and watch the first-class demon come to kill people.

  And behind him is 'Wu Geng', his grandmaster. Although he has never met him, Wu Geng should not let himself be beaten to death, right?

Although the action did not receive support, it is a good thing that someone is backing it up.

Therefore, Li Qi continued to discuss with Yang Zhenqian how to act, where to invest efforts, which key nodes to modify, and how to guide the direction of history.

Through such discussions, they formulated the next plan, mapped out the future development of history and the changes needed in the past, and prepared to use the power of eight second-grade masters to uproot the grassroots forces of the magic path and reduce the evil thoughts created by the Dream City.

This was a huge project, but the results were impressive.

Perhaps ordinary people are not aware of the results of this project, but...they can live in an ordinary world, which has some competition but no life-threatening dangers, perhaps because of this project.

If it weren't for what Li Qi did, the civilization they lived in would most likely be a brand new city of dreams.

However, Li Qi was not prepared to receive their thanks. He was just calculating what he had to do and advancing the action of exterminating the demons step by step.

Destroying the City of Dreams cannot truly destroy the Demonic Path. Destroying a sect is essentially destroying an idea, and this cannot be accomplished by violence.

Even if all the practitioners of magic are destroyed, in the future there will still be a "genius" who will have a sudden inspiration and create the idea of ​​magic from scratch.

If you want to destroy an idea, you only need another idea. As long as someone comes up with a "devil's way", you can immediately use this idea to refute the other party. Only in this way can you truly kill the "devil".

but……

  How can one refute something like 'absolute subjectivity'?

Li Qi didn't know, and he couldn't figure it out, but there was always a way.

That's what thinking is about, isn't it?

--------

And right now...

Xiantian is 'playing a drama'.

Silently, he grabbed the chess pieces with his fingers, grabbed all the old men, young men, children, and women, all the lively and cheerful and sad-looking, strong and weak, agile and clumsy "chess pieces", and quickly placed them on his chessboard and arranged them into a game.

He happily organized them into groups and families, let them compete and fight, let them be friendly or hostile to each other, forming a small world.

He happily exerted his power to make this vibrant and well-ordered little world move, allowing them to compete, fight, form alliances, and go to war; allowing them to propose to each other, get married, and have children.

He staged a lively and tense drama with many characters.

Then he looked bored.

Xiantian has had enough fun.

Then he ran his hand across the chessboard, gently pushed the chess piece over, and the whole world collapsed.

History is over.

Then he quickly started the second game, meditating, arranging a new game with the same images, recombining them and making them form new and complex relationships. The second game was very similar to the first. It was the same world built with the same materials, but the color changed, the speed changed, the emphasized theme was different, and the situation was different.

In this way, the great being called Astraea plays one game after another with the same images, each of which is identical. These games look very similar from a distance and obviously belong to the same world and come from the same source. However, as can be expected, each drama is completely new.

Xiantian is studying.

He witnessed the Dao struggle, so... this beast is learning how to manipulate history.
