My Endless Life.

Chapter 330 A Hundred Years
Li Qi ultimately failed to keep them.

But it was not him who did it personally, but the Yanjia puppets made by Li Bofan in the family who did it.

Li Bofan personally supervised the Yanjia puppet to kill the Zhao family members one by one, and then asked Li Qi in confusion:

"Dad, I don't understand why Emperor Yu sent them here?"

"Didn't I tell you that he wants to win the favor of all warriors in the world?"

Li Qi was sitting at the desk reading a book and said casually to Li Bofan.

Li Bofan asked in confusion: "If we send the Zhao family to us, we can win the favor of the warriors in the world?"

"Yes, because the Zhao family is the family of the 'sinner' Zhao Qiongxuan. When Emperor Yu destroyed the Qi Kingdom and captured the direct descendants of the Zhao family, he did not kill them personally. Instead, he sent them to the home of the leader of the martial arts world, that is, me, and handed them over to me for disposal. What do you think...what would the martial artists in the world think?"

Li Bofan thought for a moment and understood:
"Martial artists all over the world will feel that Emperor Yu treats martial artists very well. After all, he personally handed over the Zhao family to the martial artists for disposal, instead of having the new royal family kill members of the old royal family as was done in previous dynasties."

"Yes, so the warriors will have a good impression of him, even if it's just a good impression and they can't get too much practical benefit, but over time, if Yu Country is attacked, which side do you think the warriors will support?"

"Emperor Yu is so scheming..."

Li Bofan said with a little fear, then he asked: "Then why don't we send the Zhao family back?"

Upon hearing this, Li Qi put down the book and looked up at his son strangely:

"You already know that if we kill the Zhao family members, we will gain the favor of the warriors in the world. So what will the warriors in the world think if we let the Zhao family go?"

"..."

"So from the moment the Zhao family members stepped into the Li family's gate, they were doomed. I have no intention of letting them go, and they don't deserve my kindness. After all..."

Li Qi looked down at the book, with an inexplicable light in his eyes.

After all... Li Xueren's death did make him very angry.

Li Qi did not say this to his son. He suppressed his dissatisfaction and looked up at Li Bofan and asked:
"You are an adult now. In the future, you should observe more, think more, and talk less. Don't ask others for everything... By the way, how is your steam engine going?"

Li Qi changed the subject, and Li Bofan stopped thinking about those messy and complicated things. He took a deep breath and replied:
"It has been made and is currently under testing. If there are no accidents, it will be able to run stably in two years."

"Then the big train you've been dreaming of will finally be built."

Li Qi smiled at Li Bofan.

Li Bofan's talent in Yanjia is indeed outstanding. After being influenced by Li Qi's knowledge over the years, he can already build the simplest version of the steam device.

After years of improvement, the first generation of steam engine is about to be born from his hands.

Li Qi had no intention of getting involved. He decided that after Li Bofan built the steam engine, he would travel around the world and pass on his knowledge to different people.

Leave your own mark on this world.

Li Qi didn't have to wait long for this day. Two years later, Li Bofan built the world's first steam engine. From then on, the world entered the industrial age, and various factories were built all over Yu Country.

Li Bofan later went to Yu State, and was invited by the Emperor of Yu to be the Minister of Industry. With the full support of Yu State, he vigorously developed industry.

Li Qi simply left his name symbolically on those industrial systems, and then traveled to various countries to experience different customs and cultures.

He went to the so-called barbarian tribe and witnessed the relatively backward martial arts there, and then crossed the ocean to an even more distant foreign country.

Met some 'Westerners'.

The civilization of these Westerners was still in the Middle Ages, and they also mastered some martial arts skills, but they called people who practiced martial arts knights.

Knight, Grand Knight, Sky Knight, and Paladin are their rating standards.

They correspond to acquired, innate, grandmaster and martial saint respectively.

It's just a pity that they no longer have Paladins a long time ago, and Sky Knights have not appeared in recent decades.

They didn't know that someone had cut off his path to martial arts, and thought it was the wrath of the gods.

Li Qi interacted with them for a while, then lost interest and left.

Because they are in places where there is nothing new and noteworthy.

They don't even have 'magic'.

However, before leaving, Li Qi still accepted an elementary school student, taught him some magical knowledge, and told him his name.

As for whether this cheap apprentice can carry forward magic in the future, it has nothing to do with Li Qi.

He continued his travels and gradually traveled all over the world.

More than a decade later, Li Qi returned to Yuguo and the Li family from another direction.

This proves that the world is also a sphere, rather than the round earth and flat sky as the legend says.

After returning to the Li family, Li Qi stopped moving around. He sat and watched the changes in the world. He watched Yu Country gradually reach the technological level of the mid-eighteenth century, and watched the number of warriors become fewer and fewer, reaching the point where they were innate masters.

Gradually, Li Qi even felt that he had developed feelings for this world.

He had never stayed in one world for such a long time, including before he crossed over, he was not yet 30 years old. But in this world, he was almost 60 years old.

Even Li Bofan has a wife and children of his own.

Li Bofan named him Li Xing, and his name was recorded as Li Qixing in the family tree.

In the next ten years or so, Li Qi saw off his father and mother in this life. Gradually, the people he cared about in this world became fewer and fewer.

After a while, when Li Qi was 82 years old, his wife Bai Yuzhu passed away. A few years later, his twin sister Li Qiao also passed away.

After her death, Li Qiao's soul was intercepted by Li Qi. The originally separated soul returned to Li Qi's body, but now it contained some of Li Qiao's consciousness.

Li Qi did not choose to erase Li Qiao's consciousness.

He planned to keep it, and then... leave this world with her.

When Li Qi was over 90 years old, Huang Wanmian, who was almost 100 years old, found Li Qi.

She told Li Qi that she couldn't stand such an old body anymore and wanted to reincarnate.

"Are all the undead so indifferent to life and death?"

Li Qi asked Mu Xi.

The white-haired Mu Xi explained with a smile: "For us undead, the body is just a shell. As long as you are willing to give up your efforts in this life, then the body is something you can discard at will."

"Don't you feel sad?"

Li Qi thought about the relatives he had sent away and asked Mu Xi with a little confusion.

Mu Xi responded:
"Sad? If it was my eldest brother or second sister who passed away, I would indeed be very sad, but as for my relatives in this life... although I am a little sad about their passing, that's all.

"Little brother, you have to remember that to the Undead, only those of us who are also Undead can be considered relatives."

Mu Xi gave Li Qi instructions seriously.

Li Qi still didn't quite understand the Undead's concept of life and death. Mu Xi saw his confusion and puzzlement, and said meaningfully:
"It doesn't matter if you don't understand now, you will understand later... By the way, when will you be reincarnated?"

Finally, Mu Xi asked Li Qi about the time of his reincarnation.

Li Qi thought for a moment and replied, "Wait until I die."

Li Qi still has a long life ahead of him, and even his current appearance still maintains the same look as when he was young. If he did not use disguise to go out, but went out in his original appearance, no one would associate him with the current ancestor of the Li family.

It will take a very long time before my life ends.

Mu Xi knew how long Li Qi would live, and was quite helpless when she heard this:

"Okay, then I can wait for you for a hundred years. After a hundred years, I will go to the next world. If you haven't reincarnated by then, we may not be in the same world by then."

"I know. Don't worry. I won't keep you waiting too long."

Li Qi learned about the undead's reincarnation method from Mu Xi.

They will reincarnate along the route of their previous tribesmen, because in the new world, there will be arrangements left by their previous tribesmen, which will help them recover their memories faster.

However, due to the different speeds of time flow in each world, sometimes two undead people died not long apart, but their reincarnations were separated by dozens or even hundreds of years!

Therefore, it is rare for undead to appear in the same world, unless that world is a world with a very high energy level and a very slow flow of time.

But the undead also have different ways of dealing with the passage of time in the world.

For example, the Heng tribe has a secret method called "waiting".

When an undead dies, the soul of the undead is able to exist outside of the world in a way that is similar to time standing still.

The maximum time of stillness is one hundred years. If two undead people from the Heng clan want to be born in the same era in the next world, they can use this secret method of "waiting" to reincarnate together.

Mu Xi now wants to use this method so that when Li Qi and herself meet in the next world, the age difference between them will not be too big.

The last time she was separated from her third sister was because they had been reincarnated for too long, which is why she was left alone in this world.

Not long after Mu Xi finished talking to Li Qi, she left the body now named 'Huang Wanmian'.

Thus, Li Qi lost one more relative in this world.

As time went on, the industrial age began. Li Qi's son, Li Bofan, also came to the end of his life.

Witnessing his descendants dying of old age in front of him, Li Qi felt a new touch in his heart.

He felt that even if he moved to a new world, he would probably not leave any descendants.

With the death of Li Bofan, there was one less person who knew about Li Qi's existence, and Li Bofan's son Li Xing became the new head of the Li family.

Today, the Li family is the undisputed number one family in Yu State.

Because the Martial Saint Li Qi is still alive.
