Me and countless me.

Chapter 425 The Establishment of Heaven

"What evil have I done..."

Li Ke covered his face, feeling very melancholy.

What the "God" in front of him said was true. The other party's current state was indeed something similar to AI. It really had no self and consciousness. He would be gone with just a breath. Compared to the great powers in mythology, it was actually more like the heroic spirit of the Type-Moon world.

But the problem now is not whether he was trapped by the will of heaven or something like that, but something else.

The Qi of the entire planet was in turmoil. He calculated that if he left it alone, it would take at least hundreds of years for the Qi to calm down. From the perspective of the planet, this was a relatively minor accident, about the same as the Earth catching a cold for a few days.

But not for humans.

Li Ke's unrestrained thoughts and Qi itself were impacting the flow of Qi in this world. And because he made a big scene when he came out, he directly activated the Qi of this planet and even the surrounding planets, causing the Qi on the originally dormant planets to become active.

Even because of his use of the Star Shifting and Changing Constellation, the moon, a dead planet, became active because of him. If he made more movements and continued to use the Star Shifting and Changing Constellation on the moon, he might even be able to re-ignite the moon's core and reshape the moon's atmosphere!

By that time, some of the Earth's scenery, ecology, and climate that rely on the moon's tides will be disrupted.

To put it simply, all living things on the earth will be in trouble!

Because the operation of the earth's ecology depends in part on the moon! Especially the ocean and the atmosphere are affected by the moon.

This is why the spell of moving stars, or the magical power, can be regarded as a medal to demonstrate the power of various gods in the world with a sound mythological system. The ability to move stars at will can really cause heavy casualties to the lives on a planet for no apparent reason.

When the stars are moved and the constellations are changed, the side effects, or effects, such as activating the local energy, are too insignificant compared to the ability to transfer the stars, so no one cares about it.

And so is he, Li Ke.

This directly led to the current level of activity of the Earth's Qi, which could even be called a chaotic state. Everything was highly activated. Even if he restrained his thoughts, the Qi he mobilized had already begun to materialize the gods that people believed in one by one like an avalanche. It was only because of him that the Eastern gods appeared the earliest.

Yes, just by existing on this earth and showing all of his Qi, he triggered a movement of Qi that could be called a spiritual revival!

Although it is not impossible for him to end this situation, the cost is terrifying.

Use your power to instantly extract all the Qi that is starting to move around the world, then slowly sort it out and slowly fill it back, so that it will be possible to return to the original situation and prevent people's chaotic thoughts from giving rise to all kinds of ghosts, gods, and demons.

Although it was troublesome, he could do it. But because it was troublesome, he could only use this rough method.

And the magical powers he possessed, such as the Buddha Kingdom in the Palm and the Pot Swallowing the Sea, could be easily accomplished, but...

The cost is very high.

In this process, because most of the Qi of the entire earth has been sucked away, it will naturally be accompanied by a reduction in food production, and the reproductive capacity of insects, small animals, and plants will be reduced to one tenth. But this is not the end, and the most serious thing is not this, but various natural disasters.

Where there is water, there are floods; where there is land, there are earthquakes; where there are volcanoes, there are volcanic eruptions; where there is snow, there are snowstorms. To put it roughly, it is like this:
There is not a drop of water in the dry areas, and there is no place for people to stand in the flooded areas.

There was some water foam in places with good weather and good harvests, and in Tianfu, where the environment was pleasant, there were only three disasters a day.

If he leaves it alone, this abnormal Qi can do almost the same thing. However, in this process, it will become easier for innate extraordinary people to appear, and the abundance of Qi will also make it easier for more geniuses to appear. After all, humans will be able to wait for the Qi to stabilize again and re-establish a stable environment.

However, by that time, the so-called extraordinary people will probably no longer exist, and the only ones left will be those who survived the disaster and used qigong as a survival instinct, the humans of the new era.

After all, under the threat of natural disasters that are enough to wipe out a race, humans will naturally give up some of their prejudices, spread ways to become stronger, and use science and courage to explore a better path.

But both options will result in deaths, at least billions of people will die, he is not kidding, whether he uses the time to calm the riot of the planet's Qi, or leaves it alone and waits for the earth to recover, earthquakes of magnitude 8 or 9 will remain in this world forever!
"The world is different, we must be careful..."

Li Ke hit his forehead and sighed, while "God" sneered.

"You chose it yourself, idol. In order to normalize Chi, to normalize the trajectory of the entire world, you wanted to make Chi something that everyone can practice. Is it wrong for the world to move because of your ideas?"

After he made his move, he looked at Li Ke again.

"So you haven't made up your mind yet? Isn't this what you wanted to do from the beginning?"

As an AI accidentally created by Li Ke, he is very clear that Li Ke knows what the optimal solution is, which is that Li Ke interrupts the evolution of him, the God, and Li Ke takes this position himself, and then uses this planet to evolve his Qi to evolve other gods.

Afterwards, Li Ke led these gods to sort out all the turbulent Qi on the planet and suppress it, allowing the turbulent Qi to be slowly released and then used to nourish all living things on the planet.

This will also allow more geniuses who are born with the ability to use Qi to appear among the people on Earth. Human IQ and physical fitness will also continue to increase as a result, and they will be able to do what Li Ke originally wanted to do, and it will also be accompanied by the great development of human technology and civilization.

And very few people will die. Only some stubborn old-fashioned people and the original vested interests will be eliminated by the times or die.

As for saying that this will make him disappear?
It's so funny. He calculated it in the instant he had the ability to calculate, and the conclusion is that whoever wants to do this kind of work can do it, but he won't do it.

Because once he is formed, occupies the position and faith of "God", and possesses consciousness and self, then according to known rules, he will constantly change his thinking and ideas because of the thoughts of all living beings, and will not be able to block these people's resentment and blessings for himself!
Any word about God will attract his attention, and the injustice of fate and dissatisfaction with life will be conveyed to his mind with each word about God.

This means that he is not the omnipotent "heaven" in mythology, but the "God" who became a god through faith and incense! He must respond to the desires and thoughts of all living beings! There is no freedom and self at all, he is simply a slave and puppet of the thoughts of all living beings!
So let him do it, God, he would rather choose death.

Moreover, he himself has no will and soul, because that is the last step in shaping him, so for the "God" in front of Li Ke, he has no desire to survive and desire to exist!
Li Ke nodded. His fear of work was suppressed by the desire to carry out his own will. He then picked up the chess piece, tapped it on the chessboard, and completed the five-piece chain!

After realizing that it was about to disappear, this intelligent AI also said the last thing it wanted to say.

"Next time when you discuss important matters like this with people, even if you don't like playing Go, don't play Gobang, okay?" Li Ke was confused and embarrassed, so he asked.

"Why? Is it because mathematics has proven that the first move in Gobang will win?"

But 'God' just shook his head.

"No, it's because Wuzi can't do it."

The next moment, the authority, ability, intelligence, and Qi of "God" quickly dissipated and differentiated into the bodies of those gods who only had shadows, and began to evolve into heavenly gods one by one.

There are no head departments such as the Three Pure Ones, the Four Imperial Gods, the Five Elders, etc., because they are like "God". If they are manifested, it will inevitably lead to insufficient Qi. Because each of them has a legend of creation, they will be stuck here and absorb the Qi of this planet infinitely, causing terrible consequences.

This is also the reason why Li Ke stayed here, to prevent these Qi with the power of the creator gods from sucking the Qi of the planet dry.

However, gods from the Six Departments and Seven Elements, Eight Poles and Nine Stars and other authority departments began to appear. It was just that because the thoughts that made them up were too messy and thin, not only were their appearances chaotic, but even their souls were chaotic and unclear. Li Ke needed to collect thoughts to deify them, or even promote them from among the extraordinary people.

But there are exceptions.

Household-known gods such as Erlang Shen Yang Jian, Nezha, the Great God of the Three Altars and Sea Assembly, Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, Taibai Jinxing, Guan Yu, the Martial Saint, Chang'e, Qin Qiong, Yuchi Gong, the Giant Spirit, Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, Guanyin, the White Dragon Horse, Tang Monk, and Sha Monk were quickly formed and possessed considerable magical powers and abilities.

Although it is still not as good as the performance in mythology, but in this world, it can also be called a god.

But although they were formed, they were still in a chaotic state, without the agility of the gods of the underworld or even the minions. Although they were transformed from pure Qi creatures into living beings by Li Ke's breath, they all looked around blankly, without immediately understanding or reacting, and some were even still wondering who they were.

Moreover, their combined strength is not as strong as the gods of the underworld! Even now, Sun Wukong cannot defeat the Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced Demons!
Seeing this situation, Li Ke's face became even weirder.

"Sure enough, life in the underworld is too terrifying for me, causing my memories and thoughts about the underworld to be too vast. As a result, the power of the underworld gods is stronger than that of the gods in heaven. However, the Qi used to suppress the rampage is enough. Moreover, there is no need for other gods to manifest anymore..."

Li Ke remembered the strange situations that Wang Mang and Li Ke encountered when they were handing over their work to various gods. He knew very well how stubborn some of the old antiques in seclusion were. Most of these gods were gathered from the thoughts of all living beings, and good and evil were not even clear. So instead of letting these gods adapt to modern society, it is better to absorb and promote people with outstanding talents and virtues in modern society! Give them the expectations and strength of all living beings, let them live another life, and continue to contribute to this society and the future of mankind.

For example, the position of Shennong may be given to a modern and respected person who studies crops!
"So--"

Realizing this, Li Ke raised his hand!

"In the name of the Emperor of Heaven! All gods obey my orders!"

A golden glow quickly emerged in Li Ke's hand, and a roll of yellow cloth appeared in his hand. As the gods looked up, words flashing with golden light were imprinted on the scroll along with Li Ke's voice.

"You are formed by the gathering of thoughts, and you are born by gathering Qi. You are blessed by heaven and nurtured by man. Both are indispensable. You are blessed to be in this world, so you have to repay the great grace of giving birth to you. Here, I command you to suppress the earth veins, gather the Qi flow, and comfort all living beings, so as to complete the grace of giving birth to you and make up for the merits of the god position!"

All the "immortals" born because of Li Ke looked up at Li Ke at this moment, looking at the young man in Taoist robes, and watching Li Ke throw the golden scroll in his hand into the sky.

"However, the Heavenly Palace was just established, and there was no God."

Li Ke opened his arms and filled all his magic power and thoughts into the golden scroll, connecting it with the Qi of this planet and all conscious and self-aware life on this planet.

At this moment, even the vegetative patients heard Li Ke's voice, and even the dead souls in the gradually established underworld heard Li Ke's voice at this time.

"I, Li Ke, shall, in the name of the Emperor of Heaven—"

The scroll quickly spread to the entire world. For a time, no matter whether it was the South Pole or the North Pole, the equator, high-rise buildings or underground, everyone saw the scroll and realized what its use was. Li Ke’s last words also appeared in their minds.

“——Consecrate others as gods!”

Unlike the Investiture of the Gods, Li Ke was deifying for humans! Who is the god of the new era is not decided by him, nor by his will alone, but by all human beings!

The gods of the old times were the shadows of those aliens, and were shaped by the legends of those aliens. So, as the aliens of the old times disappeared, these gods of the old times would naturally change as well!

The good ones stay and the bad ones leave. His, Li Ke’s heaven is not his own heaven alone, and his, Li Ke’s pantheon is not his own pantheon alone.

He became the Emperor of Heaven to advance the times and make the world a better place, not for his own selfish desires, so he had to do this. Otherwise, if he simply deified people based on his preferences, he was sure that there would be all kinds of beauties!

And watching the golden lights and souls, under the influence of the slowly dissipating List of Gods and with the blessing of the thoughts of all living beings, constantly rising from the earth, entering the heavens, and beginning to use the runaway Qi to nurture their bodies as gods, Li Ke's heart was filled with excitement, and he spoke out his greatest realization.

"No one's position is fixed. Even I, the Heavenly Emperor, am not irreplaceable. You should encourage each other."

After Li Ke finished speaking, he gathered his strength, but he didn't need to worry too much, because the List of Gods could automatically adjust the Qi in this world, and it was also the foundation of the Heavenly Court he established. And what he said was not a lie, as long as someone more suitable to be the Emperor of Heaven appeared, he would immediately notice it and prepare to resign.

This process cannot be defied, but time can be left for handover and supervision, so there is no need to worry about major problems.

But just as he took a deep breath expressing his satisfaction, Guanyin on the side spoke.

"But are you sure you didn't leave this mechanism because you wanted to escape?"

Li Ke looked at Guanyin, and then his face began to twist.

Because although this Guanyin's appearance is different, you can tell from her temperament and expression——

It’s the character of Guanyin in Tang Monk Li Ke’s story!
