Wandao long distance

Chapter 993 Pulling

The demon used a method that gave Li Qi a headache, and now the situation is at a standstill.

Yes, Li Qi can eradicate all the dream cities, which will definitely cause great damage to the magic path. Many demons above the third level were killed in this war.

  But...what happens next?

Let Qidian go and fight the second-grade demons? Li Qi led people to surround and kill the second-grade demons?

In this case, the risk is greatly increased.

You know, Li Qi eradicated the City of Dreams in order to force these second-grade magicians to take action, so that he could pull the battlefield to his side.

But now, they simply let Li Qi carry out the slaughter and completely ignored any attacks launched by Li Qi.

By now, all the dream cities have been destroyed.

So what else can Li Qi do?

If you can't do anything, then your momentum will weaken and eventually run out of steam, and next time you organize action, you won't have the strength you have now.

Of course, the people in Qidian can be reemployed and assigned to govern the local area immediately, turning from a war group into builders.

But here is the problem.

What to build?

The people of Qidian gathered because they were against the magic, which was the root of their actions, and if they were asked to build a new world, they could give a million different answers about what this new world would look like.

If we let them build it themselves, they will definitely fight.

But if Li Qi asked them to build it, would he have a perfect answer that could meet the vision of so many people in Qidian?

Without a doubt, not at all.

This is also Li Qi's path.

Li Qi's path acknowledges the nature of contradiction, acknowledges that the world may be contradictory from the source, and acknowledges that the nature of this world may be irreconcilable. So... now, when it comes to finding the commonalities of all things, his path is at a natural disadvantage.

  It is difficult for him to give an "ultimate answer", or rather, Li Qi himself does not believe in the existence of an ultimate answer at all, so how to reconcile?

Even more, a large number of people in Qidian do not want to build anything. They come with the belief of "eradicating evil".

They don't oppose the ideas of the Demonic Path, they just think that the Demonic Path does bad things, so they come to kill the bad guys.

Yes, for them, moral disputes are not important, and the so-called "good and evil" and "morality" are more important.

It is obvious that morality and good and evil are just derivatives of "Tao". Morality is not fixed. The same thing may be a good thing or a bad thing in the eyes of people with different "Tao".

But that's the thing, not everyone can observe the essence.

What kind of war were they fighting?

The people of Qidian destroyed the world without hesitation, demolished the City of Dreams, killed them, and even destroyed their souls, leaving them completely annihilated.

Of course, they would not do this to their own companions, they would only do this to "evil beasts."

This made Li Qi aware of the evil's methods.

The City of Dreams was about to be destroyed, and the Palace of Enlightenment that destroyed the City of Dreams...also took something into itself during the process of destruction.

People always desire to be liked by others and want to control their own destiny. Nothing can destroy people's psychological defenses more than hostility and deliberate aggression from their own kind.

Such infighting can make people lost and confused, and no longer feel the meaning of existence in this world, eventually leading to the collapse of both the body and mind. In many cases, the pain and death caused by illness and accidents are not terrible. It is the domination and trampling from one's own kind that can most arouse people's deepest fear and disgust.

Therefore, Qi Dian must not fall into civil war because of the disappearance of Mo Dao. Qi Dian must be given something to do. What should this thing be?

Li Qi couldn't find it for a while.

This is really a difficult situation.

If the Demonic Path had done those unspeakable things, they could easily be regarded as ugly enemies and portrayed as evil beings, so that the Qidian Sect could hate the enemies and regard the opponents as inferior creatures and wage war against them. However, this strategy would no longer work after the destruction of the City of Dreams.

The current Qi Palace has become a burden to Li Qi.

Of course, Li Qi can also choose to disband the Qi Palace and build another one when the time comes, but this will touch upon another issue.

As the magic path is an absolutely subjective school of thought, the thing that has the greatest influence on the magic path is naturally "will".

The members of Qidian from the second to the ninth rank have all been strictly screened. Their wills have sufficient resistance to evil thoughts and can suppress them to a certain extent, and all of this depends on "belief".

This belief, to a large extent, comes from the collective consciousness and collective cohesion of Qidian. If it is lost, it will take a long time to cultivate it again.

It's probably about the same length of time as it took Li Qi to build Qi Palace, and the effect may not be as good, because there aren't so many dream cities for him to brush up his battle records and train his troops this time.

For Qidian... No, it should be said that for all organizations, the worst thing is always the lack of faith.

If faith is lacking, death will be a long time coming, and will be so painful that it will bring disgrace to the group and it will never be able to organize again.

It can even be said that the organization had begun to rot long before it died, and by the time it finally died, it was already full of maggots.

Li Qi didn't want to end up like that.

Moreover, during this period of reconstruction, the demons will definitely take advantage of the opportunity to take action.

Maybe the demons already know about this...

Qidian itself is a "magic weapon". These "beliefs" forged by Li Qi are what Li Qi is going to use to confront the second-grade demon. They are subjective belief amplifiers created with the "Desire Realm" as inspiration.

But Modao refused to accept the challenge at all, probably just waiting for Qidian to collapse on his own.

Really... Modao's move of retreating to advance, allowing Li Qi to be beaten until he had nothing to hit with, really hit Li Qi's sore spot.

Should we disband Qidian or find him something to do?

Li Qi fell into deep thought.

Does he need to give Qidian another goal? Like... Daotong or something?

That is also unlikely. Li Qi does not have a complete set of Taoist concepts that can be implemented, and he does not plan to make Qidian a force dominated by Taoism. If that happens, the great Bodhisattvas might withdraw.

Once it becomes a Taoist tradition, there will be a struggle of ideologies, and the great Bodhisattvas may not necessarily agree with Li Qi's views.

Therefore, Qidian must maintain the current group that is united around the core of destroying demons, so they cannot just put away their weapons and horses. "We can still delay for a while, let them rest for a while in the name of celebrating their success." Li Qi made a decision.

During this period of time, he must find a reason for Qi Dian to continue to exist, and this reason cannot be to continue to wage war against the Demonic Path.

  How else can we start a war?

There is no battle left for them.

Therefore, after Li Qi and other second-rank masters discussed, they decided to let Qidian be in charge of construction, but not to carry out civilization-like construction, but to build the infrastructure of those civilizations destroyed by the evil way.

In Li Qi's words, this is called: "We destroyed their homes, we can't just walk away, what's the difference between that and the devil? So, help the refugees of Dream City build a planet."

This is a delaying tactic they came up with.

Use this to continue to maintain the organization's mobility.

Thinking of this, Li Qi began to summon the third-rank officials of Qi Palace.

----------

So, in a small meeting.

"We have discussed and agreed that rebuilding these planets is a good idea. What do you think?" After Li Qi finished speaking, he looked at the third-rank officials below.

Qidian has quite a number of third-grade people, probably a dozen or so. Most of them were absorbed, and one of them broke through within Qidian. He is a super genius.

These dozen people, plus Li Qi, are almost all the experts at the execution level.

As for the great Bodhisattvas, as well as Yang Zhenqian, Zhu Fengdan, Jinhou and others, they are worship masters and group consultants. They usually do not participate in the operation and direction of Qidian. They are only responsible for helping Li Qi when he needs it.

After hearing what Li Qi said, the third-rank officials looked at each other.

Then one of them stood up.

This is a fat man named Mu Yu, with an air of "wealth" between his brows. Looking at his ruddy complexion, the glow of his really fat face, and the golden light emanating from his forehead, one can easily guess that he is currently a proud figure in Qi Palace.

In fact, this is true. He is the most powerful person in Qidian except Li Qi. As a third-rank official, he is naturally an important figure everywhere. What makes him most important is that he is the original third-rank official of Qidian.

He was not recruited but promoted on his own.

This identity made him a natural descendant of Qi Dian, and many people also regarded him as an important assistant of Li Qi.

Mu Yu stood up and said, "Senior, if this is the case, then many parts of Qidian need to be restructured. Although we can modify the past, Qidian should not use such means, right?"

"Yes, if it is not absolutely necessary, try not to use the method of backtracking. Besides, the third-grade demons may intervene when you are backtracking, which would be too dangerous." Li Qi nodded.

"Then, the energy required for the reform will increase too much. From now on, what should we do with the previously established legions? Or should we keep the legions unchanged and just increase the construction manpower?" Mu Yu asked.

Another third-rank official said, "Simply adding more construction personnel will not only pollute the current 'beliefs', causing Qidian to be unable to fully exert its capabilities when fighting against the second-rank magic path, but it may also be corrupted by the magic path. The current personnel have been carefully selected, and one more is a burden, and one less is a loss."

"Without the possibility of going back, the reform will undoubtedly cause great damage to the Qidian magic weapon."

Everyone is making valid points, there is nothing to refute.

The purpose of Qi Dian's existence is to be able to interfere with the progress of evil thoughts with the belief of subjective will when fighting against the second level of evil. This entire force of countless people is combined together for this purpose.

If this goal cannot be achieved, there is no need for Qidian to exist.

Under the current circumstances, reforming the Qi Palace is equivalent to changing the oil and parts of a magic weapon composed of multiple three grades while it is in operation and the engine is running.

A third-rank official said at this time: "I have an idea. You see, the changes we have provoked now have almost caused a drastic shock to the local situation. We just need to transform this shock into construction. Please wait for me for a few minutes for the specific plan."

After saying that, he began to write a specific plan. Sanpin's mind was very smart. As long as he had a solution, it would only take a few minutes of thinking to implement it.

He wrote one on the spot and then looked at the people around him.

Li Qi took a look and found it was written in great detail. The specific measures were to confuse the audience.

It is easy for people to confuse strength with virtue, and almost everyone assumes that powerful people always possess some great qualities.

This is actually nonsense. Strength and greatness have nothing to do with each other. The devil is so powerful, but when it comes to moral character, it is simply the lowest scum who enjoys toying with all living beings. But people just like to think so, believing that the devil also possesses virtues that match its power.

And war is its greatest manifestation.

Most people admit that war is as terrible as purgatory.

However, more people believe that all actions of powerful beings have divine purposes.

Therefore, war has become sacred, and participating in war has become a great and sacred cause worth devoting oneself to.

By utilizing this trend, we can actually express indirectly that the essence of the world is good. As long as we believe that the world is ultimately good, and distinguish between good and evil, we can promote both war and construction as ways to punish evil and promote good, and then we can praise construction as we praise war.

There's just a problem.

This method is essentially to fool everyone, and the act of fooling people can easily lead to bad consequences, such as... it can easily lead to the collapse of beliefs.

Li Qi looked at the plan and pondered for a while.

"It can't be used, but we can make some modifications. We can remove the publicity part and tell them directly that we want to build, and the construction is for the second-grade big plan. We just can't tell them for the time being." Li Qi said.

After saying that, he also made a plan.

After Mu Yu and others finished reading it, they quickly passed the resolution.

The meeting ended quickly and everyone went back to do their own things.

Li Qize continued to sit here.

There is no doubt...there is a loophole in the plan just now.

This loophole is left for the magic path.

Li Qi still hoped that the Demonic Path could take the initiative to attack. If possible... he really didn't want to go to that address.

Because, over the years, many people have gone to that address.

No one can come back.
