Wandao long distance

Chapter 997: Second Rank Performance

The battle with the demons has begun.

Li Qi finally figured it out at this time.

Actually... the devil isn't that scary.

Once a head-on battle breaks out, without the intervention of the First Rank people, it seems... not that difficult to fight the demons to a draw?

With the appearance of the third second-grade magician, everything began to be "controlled".

If there were any smarter and more perceptive 'beings', they might realize...that they had become part of the battle.

The power of the Almighty began to travel through mind, matter, history, time and space.

You can't see any strong impact in the second-level battle.

Things like blowing up billions of light years with just a stretch of the hand rarely happen to a second-grade person.

Unless they risk their lives, their strength will not be so obvious and will not be displayed so violently.

And what is the second-level battle more like?

More like... evolution.

  There is a pair of mysterious hands that control everything and manipulate the direction of history.

All beings will be intertwined in ordinary time and space until someone reverses the changes.

A supernova explosion is so magnificent that one can see with the naked eye the magnificent eruption beyond the galaxy in space. All the galaxies in the vicinity cannot compare to such a dazzling explosion, and the eruption can easily be thousands of light years long.

Viewed from the side, it looks like a ray of light extending along the inner edge of the information spiral arm, erecting a high wall around the star that is millions of kilometers wide and thousands of light years long.

  How magnificent, right?

But who is controlling supernova explosions?

It is the most subtle and insignificant 'truth behind', existing in the smallest things like an apple falling.

Whether it's a supernova explosion or an apple falling, 'they' are behind it all.

Everything is arranged, including my meeting with you, everything is man-made. They have analyzed the characteristics of all things long ago, and it is obvious, including the behavior and reaction of all life, the trajectory and changes of all matter, and the rotation around many dimensions of time and space is in progress.

The world is like a puppet, and they know what buttons to press to make the puppet do what actions.

The laws of physics, historical development, and even human thinking are all under their control. Their wars do not have any particularly magnificent scenes, but they are more shocking than anything else.

Li Qi did not manipulate history, that was what the Demonic Dao would do. What Li Qi had to do was to defend history.

However, in such a war, Li Qi suddenly saw...something, how to say it?

Perhaps it can be called: 'Watcher'.

It is a mysterious object made of black and gold metal, existing parallel to the entire universe. Its elegant contours and clean and neat lines seem to demonstrate a certain geometric beauty.

But just as there are differences between Euclidean geometry and non-Euclidean geometry, this object made of black and gold metal follows different geometric rules.

The machine itself is made up of curved keels and countless energy veins. Compared with the universe, this machine looks like a giant whale stranded on the beach.

The universe is a beach, and it is a giant whale trapped here, unable to move. It can only communicate with the outside world through various channels connected to it.

Because of these 'pipes' and 'veins', this machine has a lot of messy grids around it, which are made up of many energy pipelines and physical pipelines.

In some places, these plug-ins extend from the nothingness of history all the way to the real world, hung with dazzling equipment. In many places, there are also bundles of transmission tubes of the devices entangled like twists, which makes people feel as if they will suffer from intensive phobia after seeing it.

Moreover, there are many practitioners who are working hard in the world. Their figures can be seen in every corner. Some stand on the top of the machines, some stay in the time flow, and some shuttle through the maze composed of countless equipment, instruments and accessories.

In the dimensional maze, they were flying in the narrow passages built temporarily, and many people were standing directly on the edge of the battlefield between Li Qi and Mo Dao.

They were just hanging around there, and a little further away, a small group of people were gathered around a large portable display screen, gesturing at the information on it, apparently having a meeting to discuss something.

People were working calmly and steadily, and the whole scene was busy and orderly.

They were watching the battle, using this machine to observe the war between Li Qi and Mo Dao.

In the cracks of history, at the nodes of time and space, anywhere on the battlefield, they used the giant whale-like machine to read the infinite possibilities of Li Qi's battle.

And a huge, almost indescribable torrent of energy runs through it all.

Li Qi glanced at them.

That is... the Cardinal of all realms.

The observers next to them, who are holding meetings, repairing and observing at the same time, are they the Sky Monitors?

Humanity is really quite free.

However, Li Qi still saw the situation of the cardinals of all realms.

Indeed... this thing can hardly interfere with the outside world.

This thing is a "mirror" suspended above the universe and parallel to the universe. It is suppressed by the universe and cannot move, but it can reflect many things.

However, it looks like there has been a lot of damage. Judging from the people who are constantly repairing it, the Cardinals of the Worlds seem to have been badly damaged.

  Was it caused by the war between humans and witches?

However, now is not the time to look at them, we still have to continue fighting the demons.

Li Qi calmed his mind.

At the same time, Guanyin Bodhisattva arrived at this moment.

The tide of battle began to turn.

More and more second-grade warriors joined the battle, and the battle situation became more three-dimensional.

History began to branch, possibilities became tangled, and a large number of aisles and paths appeared among the various endings, more complex than any maze.

Every second-grade warrior must go through the entire maze, not missing a single cent, otherwise it will be impossible to understand what happened in this battle.

If you can't understand it, you naturally can't join the war.

And this maze is constantly increasing in complexity at the speed of Gonard's arrow every minute and every second. Every second-level computing power must be used in the tangled history to determine which node will affect the critical situation.

The powerful ones searched along the forks of history one by one, and they knew exactly what they were looking for.

They stop from time to time and use skillful movements to take apart something of interest, or look for the source of the clues behind a certain event or character.

The structural design of history and time and space was understood and integrated into them - the powerful spread out the entire universe and made it into a design map, and looked through these plans carefully, examining every detail.

Then they understood. Then they went to war.

This was a melee between the second-grade creatures. Although it seemed that nothing had happened to the real universe, a lot of things had actually happened, but these things had been erased. The future and the present, the past and the future existed at the same time.

An apple can exist in various states at the same time: hanging on the tree, rotting, falling to the ground, and sprouting into a new tree. The only thing that distinguishes the two is a state similar to a "time slice".

And apples in every state will become "chess pieces" of the second-grade masters to create the environment they need.

The so-called second-grade war is essentially just a change of environment.

It was not a fight between two tigers, it was just a fight of individual strength.

It is a battle between the rainforest and the desert. Swamps are spreading outward, and wind and sandification and soil erosion are also approaching the rainforest. The environment is fighting.

The Tigers played a minimal role in this.

Behind all these battles are wind, rain, thunder, changes in water and soil, and everything and all natural phenomena. Tigers, rabbits, monkeys, and trees are just ordinary lives that conform to and adapt to changes in the environment. They are part of the environment, no different from the stones on the roadside.

This is more plain than the three-rank battle.

A third-grade battle, in the final analysis, is still a competition between magic and supernatural powers. Although one can travel around the nodes of time and space, it is usually the main body that fights. It is just that the changes on the battlefield can affect more realities, and thus create more advantages for oneself and one's own goals.

But the second-level battle...even the battle itself no longer exists.

They do their own things, such as Li Qi building Qi Palace, and the inner demon has been building the city of dreams in the hearts of everyone in Qi Palace.

When they finish, they will either find that their work was in vain or they will win.

If you win, that would be the best.

If it is a futile effort, then it is just a matter of finding something to start over.

To call it a battle... is not quite appropriate.

For example now——

"A fight has broken out, why are you still here drinking tea?" Shen Shuibi looked at Li Qi.

"I'm fighting." Li Qi said with a smile.

"The battlefield doesn't seem to have spread out." The rabbit looked up at the sky.

"Wrong, we are in the center of the battlefield." Li Qi explained.

As he spoke, Li Qi picked up the teacup in his hand and poured it onto the ground.

The tea disappeared before it even hit the ground.

Shen Shuibi frowned slightly, stretched out her hand, made some gestures, and calculated the weather.

"The weather is changing. The nature of the cup of tea just now has changed? In other words, there are constant changes around us?" Shen Shuibi looked around.

This situation is actually not uncommon, and it is not dangerous for a fourth-grade cultivator.

Things like "extra-dimensional rifts" or "abnormal events" appear in many places.

Some other power suddenly appears in a certain civilization, or a country suddenly discovers that a house is connected to an abnormal dimension, and they can go in to explore or even gain certain powers.

Abnormal invasions, all kinds of strange events, occasional dislocated space, hallucinations appearing from time to time, but... everything seems fake, reality is still running, and nothing special happens.

Just some lucky ones.

They would respond to calls in their dreams, accidentally look at the mirror in the dead of night, and be left alone when entering or exiting the elevator.

Then, what awaits them is the bizarre.

For example, a mortal flees his home and begins his escape on the night of a fire in his home.

They turned the car around and we fled from the burning city, from all the darkness of the past, from all the ghosts of the past, with almost nothing, no plans for the future, no explanation for what had happened, because... they had started the fire.

They wrote to their brother, they wrote to the bank, and then they received a formal letter and two sets of legal documents.

But the mortal did not read the documents, or even barely glance at them, for after he had scribbled his signature, the papers burned.

Since then, the outside world seemed to have calmed down, and no more problems came to him. He finally spent about a year of uneasy peace.

Then there were more changes, and he was forced to move somewhere else, and then somewhere else, until the troubles were over and we finally came to a quiet place, and finally to this little lake resort, where we found comfort again and settled down to continue our precious, unchanging quiet life, completely shutting ourselves in, not needing or wanting anybody else.

All this was because of what they saw in their closet. They believed that they were cursed. After burning down the house, they finally had this year of peace here by the beautiful lake.

Only by this lake can one find peace.

But recently, I started to become anxious and restless again, and couldn't help but start thinking about the past.

There is a tiny dark cloud in my heart - it is there and it cannot be removed.

However, the family members would never mention it to each other. They were very restrained. If one day they couldn't control themselves and wanted to say it, they would definitely cut off their tongues before they had time to say it.

Until one day, one night, they couldn't fall asleep because they were too nervous, afraid of having nightmares, afraid of dreaming about scenes that they could not face or control, afraid of dreaming about things that I wanted to forget forever.

So, when I was really drowsy and asleep on the eve of dawn, the scenes that they wanted to forget countless times passed by like slides in front of their eyes.

Until many years later, this lakeside mansion became a famous ruin, with several lunatics living in it. It was said that they were once elegant and respectable people, but they had a family hereditary mental illness.

Many, many years later, several young people came to this antique house to "test their courage" -

The door to another world quietly opened.

It is filled with many thoughts, dream-like ideas, strange physical laws, a completely different ecological environment and indigenous creatures that can almost destroy people's minds.

But this is not an isolated case.

This is a battlefield created by the collision of two laws, two "Tao".

Li Qi and the Demonic Path are suppressing all dimensions and all history, and countless strange things are happening as a result.

But... this is not a hot war.

Both sides are just doing their own thing.

Li Qi is almost done.

His real purpose -
