My Endless Life.

Chapter 612 Opportunity
The world in the old man's memory is clearly the same as the world in the mist.

Everything that happens in the misty world may be something the old man once experienced.

But this had nothing to do with Li Qi. He didn't really care about the Misty World; he was more concerned about something else:

"Does my return here have anything to do with you?"

Li Qi asked the old man.

Connecting one's own consciousness to one's own Adam III is an extraordinary thing in itself.

Li Qi couldn't find the reason before, but now it seems that the reason might be related to the old man?

"Me?" The old man stopped what he was doing and turned to look at Li Qi. "I don't have the ability to call you back. Besides, I don't really like you. After all, you messed up my setup."

"So you're saying it wasn't you?"

"of course not."

The old man said with great certainty.

No one likes a naughty child who comes to their house and causes trouble. To the old man, Li Qi was that naughty child who had run into his house and caused trouble without permission.

He'd never like it.

Since they didn't like him, they naturally wouldn't bother to bring Li Qi here.

"Then why..."

"Didn't you leave a part of your soul in that thing you created...yes, Adam III?"

The old man suddenly spoke, instantly silencing Li Qi.

Did he leave his soul inside Adam III?
Is there such a thing?
Searching through his memories, Li Qi realized that it seemed there was such a thing.

In order to better confuse Chris and the others, Li Qi did indeed separate a small part of his soul into Adam III.

This may also be the only soul clone that Li Qi left behind in other worlds.

"...Because of this?" Li Qi looked at the old man.

The old man took out a transparent wisp of soul and placed it into the 'wax figure' in front of him, then said:
“The connection between souls exists. Although you separated that part of your soul, it did not completely lose its connection with you. And when the nature of your soul changes, the nature of the part of your soul that is connected to it will also change.”

"Then... with a little coincidence, a little adventure, you come back."

After the old man finished speaking, he turned back to Li Qi and smiled, saying, "Your life must have been quite 'exciting' lately, right? Let me guess, a series of extraordinary encounters, isn't it?"

"A serendipitous encounter..."

Li Qi instantly thought of the mysterious powerhouse who helped him integrate his strength and left behind his legacy, as well as the black dragon who later gave him 'soul power'.

No... if we go further back, Heart Love Mech also counts.

And now...

“A powerful being has left a blessing upon you, so that no matter what dangers you encounter, they will eventually turn into opportunities for you. If I’m not mistaken, this should be part of your opportunity now.”

The old man explained it this way.

Someone left a blessing on him? Was it Zelia? No, it couldn't be her. Even if she could leave something like a blessing, it wouldn't be possible for Li Qi to travel such a distant world back to the Misty World in an instant.

That could only be that person, the mysterious powerhouse encountered in the martial arts world that had become a world of puppets.

Is it her?
Wait a minute, this person in front of him said earlier that he had the aura left behind by a powerful person. Li Qi thought it was Zelia, but now it seems... who is the old man referring to?!

but--

You mean...opportunity?

Li Qi frowned as he looked at the old man.

He doesn't see any opportunities at the moment.

After the old man finished making a complete 'wax figure,' he slowly explained to Li Qi:
"My time is running out. This is the last planet I will create. After I finish this planet, I will restart everything except this place and bring this universe back to life."

"At that time, everything I have will be passed down. Although I will no longer have the power, this inheritance will be enough for me to control everything in this small world."

"that is it?"

Li Qi was somewhat surprised.

It's just an ordinary little world. So what if we could control everything within it?

In the StarCraft era, any large game company could do what the old man described.

Even these game companies can create life.

Although they cannot create true souls, these game companies are not much different from the real creators in the context of the small world.

Therefore, Li Qi genuinely felt that the legacy left by the old man was not worth mentioning.

The old man chuckled upon hearing this: "'That's all?' You look down on the legacy I left behind?"

"It's just a small world..."

As soon as Li Qicai said this, the old man suddenly realized:
"I see. You think my world is very ordinary, right?"

Li Qi remained silent.

After all, any impolite behavior towards such a powerful person could incur their dislike.

Even if the other party said they were wary of his powerful aura, Li Qi couldn't guarantee that they wouldn't make a move. So, to be on the safe side, it was best not to say anything.

Just as Li Qi was thinking this, he heard the old man chuckle:

"My world is not what you think... Never mind, go and see for yourself."

As the old man spoke, he raised his hand and pointed at Li Qi. Li Qi instinctively tried to dodge, but although the old man's finger seemed slow, it had already landed on the center of his forehead the moment Li Qi had the thought of dodging.

boom!
It was as if something exploded in Li Qi's brain. Li Qi felt his consciousness leave his body in an instant, and countless lights flashed past his side.

In the blink of an eye, he traveled from the old man's planet to the World Ocean.

What immediately came into Li Qi's view was a gray-black sphere that was completely different from the colorful bubbles around it.

The black sphere was huge at first glance!

Just like when Li Qi first saw the interstellar world... even bigger than that!

The world shrouded in mist... is actually a vast world?!

No wonder time flows so slowly here!
With just one glance, Li Qi's consciousness returned rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, he was back in Adam III's body.

"So, do you still think my legacy is rubbish?" the old man said with a smile, his glasses reflecting a dazzling light in the sunlight.

Li Qi was speechless.

But unlike before when he didn't want to provoke the other party, Li Qi was now so shocked that he was speechless.

If he wasn't mistaken, then it proved that the Misty World really was a vast world, but he didn't know why this vast world had lost its color and looked... like it was about to die.

Wait... is he about to die?
Remembering the old man's words that his time was near, Li Qi couldn't help but look at him again and asked:

"...What is your relationship with this world?"

"I was born because of this world, and this world will die because of me. As for our relationship... let me think... symbiosis? No, we've been one for a long time."

The old man said with a sigh.

It seems Li Qi's guess was correct after all.

The elderly are like the will of the world within the larger world.

However, unlike those wills that are born from the world itself, the old man should have been a life that lived in this world before.

Then, after countless years of cultivation, he became one with the world, thus becoming who he is today.

Just as some powerful individuals can use a small world as the foundation for their 'Dao Integration' to break through their cultivation level.

Some even stronger beings can do the same using the Great World.

However, the required strength far exceeds that of the ninth rank, and even those at the ninth rank and above cannot achieve it.

The fact that the old man was able to do it means that his power... has exceeded the known power limit of the Seven Origins Realm!

Although there is only one old man in this world.

But the old man alone might be stronger than the strongest in the Seven Origins Realm.

Yet such a powerful being is now heading towards destruction... Even such a powerful being cannot achieve 'eternity'?

"Alright, I've said everything I needed to say. You can go back now."

After showing Li Qi the truth about the world, the old man waved him away dismissively, urging him to go back.

"Go back? Back to the Ark?" Li Qi looked at the old man with a puzzled expression.

The Ark is currently traveling to this location. If Li Qi returns and reinstalls the warp system on the Ark, it won't be long before the Ark arrives at this planet, which is similar to the Misty Planet.

What will the people on the ark think then?
Will they feel like they've returned to square one, or... will their worldview crumble because of two similar but somewhat different worlds?
After learning the truth, Li Qi didn't really want the people on the ark to face such a cruel situation.

So I don't really want to go back now.

However, Li Qi was somewhat wrong.

“Go back to the Ark? What are you going back for? Let them make their own way. I don’t want them to ruin my new work.”

The old man said frankly, waving his hand at Li Qi: "I'm letting you go back to your own world. Anyway, I've already left coordinates on you. When I die, I'll pull you back to inherit everything. Don't worry about not being able to come back. Alright, go back now."

The old man waved his hand at Li Qi as if he were shooing away small animals.

Li Qi closed his eyes slightly, and when he opened them again, the scene before him had completely disappeared, and a pure white, transparent sphere of soul power appeared in front of him.

In the blink of an eye, Li Qi had returned from that misty world to his own consciousness space.

The moment he returned to the consciousness space, a surge of soul power spread throughout Li Qi's entire body.

All his consciousness power was transformed into soul power, and Li Qi also felt that the consciousness space he had constructed with his consciousness power was gradually dissipating.

Before he could even adjust to his newfound power, Li Qi turned to look outside the sphere of light.

There, two figures were playfully fighting.

One of them was Xinlian, who was on top of a girl and trying to grab the girl's head with her hands, while the girl was trying her best to stop Xinlian and shouting:

"No, Miss Xinlian, wait a minute! I haven't gotten used to it yet—!"

"No need to get used to it! Just let me in, it'll be quick! It won't take long!"

"...No! At least we have to wait until my brother wakes up!"

"Ignore him! Just listen to me!"

Xinlian spoke urgently, and at first glance, the scene before her and the conversation between the two made her think that they were doing something that could not be described in words.

Li Qi squinted, and finally saw clearly the girl who was being held down by Xinlian.

That was Li Qiao, the older sister who was trapped inside the core of her own soul.
