My Endless Life.

Chapter 628 Reasons
will die?

Will I die?
Hearing Zelia's words, Li Qi didn't react for a moment.

Li Qi originally thought he was absolutely safe in the interstellar world. Not only was he protected by the Xel'Nak family, but he was also not rejected by the interstellar world because of Zelia.

In other words, he doesn't need to worry about dying at the age of twenty. Even if he does die, Zelia can probably bring him back to life.

But what's going on now? Because he has power, he might die?
After a few seconds of stunned silence, Li Qi asked:

"Yes... someone doesn't want anyone with [power] to appear, so they want to assassinate me..."

“No,” Zelia answered quickly.

Li Qi was even more confused upon hearing this: "...No??"

“No,” Zelia repeated, then countered, “Do you think anyone could harm you under our protection?”

"What on earth is that..."

“It’s this world,” Zelia said softly. “Once you fully awaken your powers, the world will begin to target you with 'consciousness,' and you will be targeted by the entire world.”

"Under such targeting, we can protect you for a while, but we can't protect you forever."

Being targeted by the world is like being in "Final Destination," where everything you do in the future could be dangerous, and the danger would gradually escalate.

Zelia and the Queen also had their own things to do. They couldn't stay by Li Qi's side to protect him forever, so they could only try to send Li Qi away to hide for the time being.

"..."

No, how did we end up back here again after all this time?

Li Qi was speechless.

Before gaining power, with Zelia's help, Li Qi was at least able to live a peaceful life, and living to old age was not a problem.

How come he is now being rejected by the world after gaining power?
Seeing Li Qi's puzzled expression, the Empress's gentle voice came:
“Rich, do you know why there are no Tier 10 beings in the current interstellar era?”

The Empress's question stunned Li Qi.

The Empress wouldn't ask this question lightly, and considering the current topic of discussion, Li Qi had a sudden realization:

"...Because of [power]?"

"Although no one stipulates that a tenth-order rank must comprehend power, there is no doubt that all tenth-order rank rank rank rank 10 currently recorded possesses power, and power... is the most hated thing in our universe right now."

The Empress paused slightly before adding, "Or rather, it's the thing that the world will of the [Myriad Star Realm], [Realm of Gods], and [Azure Profound Realm] hates the most."

"why?"

Zelia added, "Because one of the conditions for the creation of [Power] is to plunder the will of the world."

"..."

Well... the conditions for the creation of this power are pretty wild...

Wait, one of the conditions for the birth of power is to plunder the world?
Li Qi suddenly thought of his habit of taking a bite in every world he visited... and then, thinking about his sudden transformation into a being of power, he vaguely understood something.

Perhaps... his own [power] did not all come from that mysterious powerful figure?
"Hmm?" While pondering, Li Qi re-examined the Empress's words and asked, "Is this the only condition for the birth of power in the three original realms? What about the other four original realms?"

The Empress only mentioned three worlds: the interstellar world, the magic world, and the Cangxuan World, one of the cultivation worlds. She did not mention the other four original worlds.

Could it be that the conditions for the creation of powers in the other four primordial realms are completely different from those in these three primordial realms?
"Them," the Queen's smile widened, "no one in their world has ever possessed any power."

"No...?"

"Who do you think the 'possibly' in 'the tenth order may have power' refers to?"

The Empress asked a meaningful question.

Li Qi immediately understood the Empress's words.

Those who are recorded as being at the tenth rank in the interstellar era basically all possessed powers, so the "possible" here obviously does not refer to the powerful beings of the interstellar era.

Since they are not powerful beings of the interstellar era, they must be from other worlds.

The interstellar era wasn't the only time a primordial realm could produce a tenth-order realm... Now it seems that the tenth-order realms of other primordial realms are probably a bit exaggerated.

Having said everything that needed to be said, Zelia concluded:
"In short, that's the current situation. To avoid being targeted by the world further, you'd better leave as soon as possible."

The Queen then asked, "So, have you decided which world you want to go to, little Richie?"

Li Qi was silent for a moment, then finally asked a question: "Mother, Your Majesty, I have another question I don't understand..."

"Speak," Zelia gestured for Li Qi to ask.

Li Qi asked, "My powers should be related to this world, right? If I'm targeted here, then what about in other worlds...?"

"Are you sure it's really okay?" Zelia suddenly asked meaningfully, "Rich, are you sure your powers have absolutely nothing to do with this world?"

"..."

Li Qi opened his mouth slightly, unable to answer Zelia's question.

Because he discovered that he seemed to have actually 'plundered' the interstellar world!

Because when he entered the interstellar world, it seemed that he also... took a bite.

He originally thought that his love was his talent in this world, but now it seems that... love may only be a part of that talent.

This further confirmed Li Qi's suspicions about the power.

The mysterious expert did not bestow power upon him out of thin air; rather, this power was an integral part of Li Qi's being!

It matches perfectly, it matches everything!

"...I...choose to go to the Cangxuan Realm."

In the end, Li Qi silently skipped over this topic and chose the world he was going to 'vacation' next.

...Li Qi went to the Cangxuan Realm for a 'vacation', and he wasn't the only one.

She will be accompanied by a group of guards, and Zelia even found a ninth-level expert to be her guard.

In the Cangxuan Realm, this is a powerful being at the Dao Integration Realm!
Although the power this ninth-tier expert could unleash was limited after arriving in the Cangxuan Realm due to the different rules.

But as long as the people of Cangxuan Realm aren't stupid, they won't attack Li Qi.

Furthermore, just like the Myriad Stars Realm, the Cangxuan Realm doesn't have many ninth-order Dao Integration cultivators stationed on its own territory; most of them are exploring within the World Sea.

The local eighth-level Great Luo is already the strongest. With a ninth-level being by Li Qi's side, everyone knows that he has a noble status and is not someone to be trifled with.

No one would be foolish enough to target Li Qi.

Besides this ninth-ranked individual, there's also At, who has already advanced to the seventh rank, and... Sutina and Dia, who have twins, who will also be traveling to the Cangxuan Realm with Li Qi.

The former served as a guard, while the latter served as... a maid?
Although Li Qi felt that Sutina and Dia were not suitable to be maids because of their personalities, he did not offer any other opinions since his mother had made the arrangement.

And these are all the people who will be going to the Cangxuan Realm with Li Qi.

Without Sophiuna, without Ephisia, even Yorin wouldn't follow.

After all, the Cangxuan Realm is too far away, and cross-realm communication requires a ninth-level expert as a relay. If Sophiuna and Ephisia were to come, it would be almost equivalent to giving up the struggle for the throne.

Yorin is the heir to House Xarnak, so he is even less likely to go along.

So this 'trip' was unusual, as Li Qi traveled alone.

Of course, these people will definitely come to say goodbye to Li Qi.

This departure meant Li Qi didn't know how long he would have to wait to return. This was almost the last time they would meet in a few years... a dozen years, or even decades. Of course, they had to cherish it.

"The flow of time in the Cangxuan Realm is slightly different from that in the Wanxing Realm. The flow of time there is faster. If you cultivate there, you might be able to reach the ninth level very quickly."

Before parting, Jolin gave Li Qi some instructions.

The Cangxuan Realm seems to be slightly smaller than the Wanxing Realm, and the flow of time within it is also faster, roughly 1:1.5.

In other words, one year has passed in the Myriad Star Realm, while one and a half years have passed over there.

This difference may seem insignificant, but if the timeframe is extended, even a slight difference could allow Li Qi to return sooner.

Because Li Qi possesses power, no one doubts that he will reach the ninth level; the only difference is when.

Yolin took one last look at his younger brother, hugged him tightly, and then patted Li Qi on the back:

"Go on, I'll leave you here. Sophiuna and Effisia will take you the rest of the way."

"Ah."

Without saying much in farewell, Li Qi and Yolin exchanged one last look before boarding their aircraft and departing.

After Jorin, came Ephisia.

Her spaceship was docked on the route to the World Ocean. Upon seeing Li Qi arrive, she immediately took his spacecraft into her ship.

He then met with Li Qi alone.

“Effie…”

Li Qi, who had reunited with Effie, intended to say something.

He had many questions to ask, such as who Effie had partnered with to gain such power, and whether she was prepared to compete for power with the other princes and princesses.

However, all these questions were silenced the moment he met Effie.

It means literally stuffed in one's mouth.

Taking advantage of Li Qi's inattention, Effie forcibly grabbed his collar and kissed him.

Li Qi: "..."

A sneak attack, huh...

Li Qi did not struggle when Aifei was ambushed and kissed. He simply let Aifei invade him with her clumsy and awkward kissing skills.

As their lips parted, he calmly looked at her and asked, "Satisfied?"

"...I'm not satisfied. Your performance was too calm."

Effisia bit her lip and glared fiercely at Li Qi.

She originally thought Li Qi would be shy, angry, or even lose his temper with her. This meant that Li Qi would remember her in the end, whether it was a positive or negative impression, she had left a place in Li Qi's heart.

However, Li Qi's calm demeanor left Aifisia feeling neither accomplished nor even somewhat discouraged.

Li Qi chuckled lightly:
"How many times do you think Sophie and I have kissed?"

"...Don't mention her!! I will definitely defeat her and take you away!!" Effisia said fiercely.

But even though she's usually a bit dim-witted, her fierce expression doesn't come across as threatening; instead, it makes people want to laugh.

However, Li Qi didn't laugh at her; instead, he spoke earnestly:

"Effie, I don't care who you've partnered with, I just want to ask you, are you really prepared to fight the Sophie sisters? Just for a... man?"

"I……"

"Have you ever considered how I would feel if Sophie, my fiancée, died in a fight with you?"

"Conversely, if you were to die at Sophie's hands because of a power struggle, how do you think I, as your childhood sweetheart, would feel?"

Li Qi looked intently at Effie: "You never think about these things, do you, Effie?"

These words silenced Effie completely, leaving her speechless.
