My Endless Life.

Chapter 476 Rebuilding the Heart Sutra
Imperial frontier.

Hongye's spaceship was only a few thousand meters away from the crimson mecha.

The huge mecha was right in front of them, sealing the nearby jump channel, leaving Hongye's spaceship with nowhere to escape.

Just when Hongye didn't know what to do, a magnetic female voice sounded through the spacecraft's communication system:

"Your Highness Richie, have you had enough fun? If so, it's time to come back with me."

It was exposed as expected!
Hongye was startled and turned back to look at Li Qi, but saw that Li Qi looked calm, without any panic on his face.

"Hongye, access the virtual communication."

Li Qi calmly ordered Hongye, and then said to Art: "Art, give me your weapon."

"Your Highness...?"

"Give it to me!" Li Qi's tone was unquestionable.

Art had no choice but to miniaturize the mecha's personal weapons and deliver them to Li Qi.

Looking at the dagger-like weapon, Li Qi's fingers brushed across the edge of the blade, then he looked at Hongye, as if asking why the communication had not been connected yet.

After a brief moment of daze, Hongye quickly connected to the communication system on the mecha.

A few seconds later, a virtual projection of a tall woman with long black hair appeared inside the spacecraft.

"Your Highness Richie..." The woman bowed and saluted after seeing Li Qi. However, before she finished her sentence, her pupils suddenly shrank: "Your Highness, what are you doing?!"

"Your Highness!?" Art also had the same reaction as the woman.

Because both of them saw that Li Qi put the weapon given to him by Art on his neck, with the blade touching his skin, and with just a slight movement, he could easily cut Li Qi's throat.

Or even more than that.

This weapon is a consciousness weapon. When stimulated by consciousness, an extremely long blade light will be released from the weapon.

Once the blade light is activated, Li Qi's head and body will be separated in an instant.

In order to make the legion commander in front of him realize this more intuitively, Li Qi also used his consciousness to slightly stimulate the ability of the dagger.

It can let the legion commander in front of him know that he has the power to chop off his head with one blow.

This is also the reason why Art and the Legion Commander are nervous.

"Captain of the Third Border Defense Corps...right." Li Qi asked softly about the other party's identity.

The legion commander nodded: "Yes, my name is Rose, Your Highness can just call me by my name... Your Highness Richie, you..."

"Captain Rose, I'm giving you two choices now."

Without giving the legion commander a chance to speak, Li Qi moved the blade towards himself and continued:
"Now, either you let me go, and nothing will happen to you afterwards, or you will be charged with forcing the Ninth Princess' fiancé, the eldest son of the Sarnak family, to death, and your entire family will be convicted... Commander Rose, you know what to choose, right?"

The legion commander remained silent upon hearing this. She looked deeply at Li Qi, who had a determined look in his eyes, and asked with a sigh:
"Your Highness, why are you doing this..."

"I'll only give you one minute to think about it."

Li Qi ignored all that and spoke calmly, as if what was placed on his neck was not a sharp weapon but a wooden stick.

"Your Highness, even if I let you go, Her Highness the Ninth Princess will not let me go afterwards..."

"As long as you don't tell anyone, she won't know that you let me run away."

"Are you so sure that Her Highness the Ninth Princess won't come looking for me?"

"I'm not sure, but you have no other choice now. I'm sorry to choose this method to threaten you, but if you want to blame... blame you for catching up with me."

There was no emotion in Li Qi's voice, he was just stating this fact.

It is true that Li Qi has a conscious backup in the world rules. Even if he dies now, he can be resurrected.

But the problem is, if Li Qi dies, the people around him will not be able to escape, and all those who are related to his death will be buried with him!
Including the legion commander in front of him and the family behind her!

This is the deterrent power of the high nobility!
The legion commander obviously knew this, so she hesitated.

If it was just her, it wouldn't matter. At most, she would have to use some favors to ask someone to resurrect her. But she has her own family behind her, and her family is just an ordinary marquis family, and no one has conscious backup.

Therefore, if Li Qi died here, she would be the only one who would survive afterwards.

Even if the Ninth Princess really pursues the matter, her backup of consciousness will probably be destroyed!
On one side there is a possibility of survival, on the other side there is the certainty of death. Any normal person knows very well what to choose.

"Your Highness, you are really..." The legion commander wanted to say something, but all he got in response was Li Qi's cold countdown:
"You have fifteen seconds."

“…I understand. Please go ahead.”

Seeing the blood flowing on Li Qi's fair skin, the legion commander finally compromised.

She originally thought that she could easily take Li Qi away this time, so she chased after him. After all, it was well known that the fiancé of the Ninth Princess was a kind-hearted and weak person.

However, the facts were contrary to her thoughts. Li Qi's decisiveness and ruthlessness were beyond her expectations, which was completely inconsistent with the intelligence she received.

That's true. After all, he was born into one of the most top families in the world. If he really had no political strategy or brains, this little prince would not have lived to this day.

This time she lost.

Rose sighed helplessly and had to release the restrictions on the warp channel.

The jump channel was reopened, the spacecraft officially locked the destination coordinates, and started the jump engine.

Li Qi put down his weapon only after the jump engine was fully charged.

At this moment, the frequency of the jump engine has matched the jump channel. If Rose dares to forcibly stop the jump channel, the spacecraft will be completely out of control and it will not know where to jump to.

She didn't dare do that.

That's why Li Qi put down his weapon. But before leaving, Li Qi still told Rose:

"If Sophie really finds out and you are questioned by her, remember to say something to her."

"What?"

"'Don't make me hate you,' just tell her."

"..."

Rose was puzzled and pondered the meaning of Li Qi's words, wondering if there was some secret code that she didn't understand.

Just as she was thinking, the jump engine started, and Li Qi's spaceship turned into starlight and disappeared into the depths of the universe.

.........

The spacecraft jumped into the depths of the starry sea.

This is the dark sea of ​​stars, that is, the vast dark area between galaxies without any light.

This place has always been a paradise for fugitives and a heaven for desperadoes, and it is also outside the authority of the three major countries.

Only after coming here did Li Qi truly escape the "control" of the empire.

When the spaceship stopped its jump, Art immediately took the knife from Li Qi's hand, and nervously took out the first aid equipment to treat Li Qi's injuries.

Even if it's just a little skin broken.

Li Qi let Art manipulate him with an expressionless face, but his eyes were rather empty, without any brilliance.

Hongye put the spacecraft into automatic cruise mode and headed for the next jump point, while also cooling down the spacecraft's jump engine.

She turned to look at Li Qi, but instead of seeing the joy of his successful escape on his face, she felt that Li Qi seemed a little angry.

"Rich...Your Highness...?" Hongye asked cautiously.

Li Qi closed his eyes, opened them again after two seconds, and said to Hongye:
"From now on, call me Rocky, and don't call me Your Highness."

"Okay... okay, Master Rocky, you... you don't seem very happy?"

Hongye continued to ask.

Li Qi remained silent and clenched his fists.

Unhappy? Of course he is unhappy!
If Li Qi had fought head-on against an eighth-rank mecha master with real weapons, and had overwhelmed the opponent with absolute strength and escaped, he would definitely not be unhappy at all, but would be very happy instead.

But Li Qi was really unhappy that he had to use this method of threatening the other party with his own life to get a chance to escape.

strength……

He needs to regain all the power he had in his previous life!
And the new power system of this world!
At least next time, he would never escape in this way.

But then again, since they have left the empire, Li Qi can start the plan he had prepared long ago.

Taking a deep breath to calm his chaotic emotions, Li Qi said to Art:
"Art, give me the energy bars I bought earlier."

"..." After helping Li Qi deal with his wounds, Art handed the energy bar to Li Qi without saying a word.

Li Qi opened the energy bar which was full of various nutrients, took a look at it, and bit into it without hesitation.

"!?"

Art's eyes widened and he subconsciously snatched the energy bar from Li Qi's hand.

After all, with Li Qi's status, how could he eat something that even inferior people wouldn't eat?

However, Li Qi only needed a look to force him to stop.

Art looked at Li Qi in a daze. It was not right to take it, nor was it right not to take it.

Li Qi chewed an energy bar and said to Hongye, "There shouldn't be any accidents now, let's prepare for the next jump."

"Okay...ok."

Hongye nodded and operated at the control panel.

Li Qi sat in the back eating a tasteless energy bar and began to mobilize the first bit of energy he had since coming into this world.

The first level of the Immortal Heart Sutra is very simple, you just need to eat it.

The higher the energy content of the food, the more energy it provides to Li Qi, and the faster he will be promoted.

The energy bar he was eating at this moment was what most people at the bottom of society would eat.

The energy bar has no special taste, but it is rich in nutrients. Just one bar is enough to provide a normal person with the energy needed for a day's activities.

Such energy bars are most suitable for practicing the Immortal Heart Sutra.

Coupled with the precious ingredients that Li Qi had eaten since he was a child, and the precious medicinal power accumulated in his body, it wouldn't take long for Li Qi to successfully break through the first level of the Immortal Heart Sutra.

Reach the second level of the innate realm.

The special abilities and combat power possessed by the second level of the Innate Realm are enough for Li Qi to disguise himself as a martial artist who just came out of a small planet and mainly practices martial arts.

People who practice martial arts don't need to implant too many modified bodies into their bodies, which can just conceal Li Qi's identity as a natural person.

After leaving the border of the empire, Li Qi practiced the Immortal Heart Sutra while sorting out his next plans.

Finally, after another leap, they successfully entered the territory of the Irene Federation.

This time, they didn't encounter any accidents.
