Li Qi immediately saluted respectfully: "Young man, I am all ears."
The Taifu sat down where Li Qi originally sat and asked, "Do you know why the demon came to find you?"
Li Qi did not hide anything and expressed his guess: "You dare to guess, kid, it should be... because of my status as a heretic?"
"You are right, it is because of this, but your heresy is different from ordinary heretics, so I am going to talk to you in detail and answer your doubts." Taifu said.
Li Qi lowered his head: "Is the Master worried about what the demon said in the end?"
Hearing Li Qi's doubts, the old man nodded: "Yes, I'm a little worried. You are indeed a very curious person. If I hide too much from you, I'm afraid you will really go to the devil to seek answers. Eucalyptus.”
The Taifu sighed: "So, I will answer a lot of things with you, but I hope you believe me. There are some things that you really shouldn't know."
"You are not completely possessed yet, and you cannot withstand some of the shocks on the road. I don't tell you, but it is really for your own good."
"Boy, I understand, then...can I ask?" Li Qi raised his head and said.
He really has too many doubts.
He needs answers.
Maybe the demon was right. Li Qi's curiosity was the biggest weakness of his Taoist heart.
This is an irrepressible curiosity. The original reason why Li Qi even practiced cultivation was to witness things that he had never witnessed before.
"Ask." Taifu nodded.
Immediately, Li Qi asked: "May I ask Taifu, what exactly is a heretic?"
After hearing this question, the Taifu thought for a moment. He touched his beard and looked up at the sky, as if he was considering how to tell Li Qi.
Because this question is a bit too big.
What are heretics?
How to describe it?
The Taifu thought for a moment, then suddenly waved his hand.
The sky suddenly changed.
It was originally daytime, and the sky in Chang'an was blue, with clouds and strong winds swaying.
Then, suddenly, the sky turned into darkness, and the sun and moon set at the same time, turning into a bright starry sky.
The light of the stars seemed to be amplified, so the sky at this moment was particularly beautiful.
The starry dragon in the secluded valley roars mournfully, the reflected stars shake, and they can only glance at a billion miles away.
It was really, really spectacular, almost indescribable in words.
Especially when Li Qi knew that the stars in the sky were actually world groups.
This splendid picture is essentially a miracle composed of infinite space, infinite life, and even the infinite and splendid civilization they created.
Moreover, he understood that this starry sky was probably not fake or an illusion.
Rather, it truly repels the sun and moon in the world, allowing the stars to be revealed.
I don’t know what the chaos is like outside now...
However, it doesn't seem to be a mess.
Because Zhou Guang seems to be still there?
As long as you maintain this stagnant state, no matter what you do, and restore everything before the universal light starts flowing again, then nothing will happen.
The power of a first-grade... is truly terrifying.
Li Qi stared at the stars, waiting for Taifu's answer to his question.
After the Taifu spread out the starry sky with his hand, he said: "If you want to talk about heretics, you must first know the composition of the universe."
"Li Qi, Wu Jinhui specializes in studying celestial phenomena, so you should know very well that this starry sky looks exactly the same in all worlds. Do you know why this is?"
I have said before that the sky is the same thing in all worlds.
The Four Phases, the Big Dipper, and the Twenty-Eight Constellations, these stars that can be seen in the world, will not cease to exist just because you change the world, or the stars will change because of changes in their own positions.
All worlds share the same starry sky, and even their positions will not change, just like using the same map.
If there is a change, it is a revelation from the stars to mortals, which means that the world is about to change.
"I don't know, kid." Li Qi replied immediately.
He really didn't know this. Although he understood that there was such a phenomenon, he was still at a loss as to what it meant.
"Because, in the world itself, there are no stars." Taifu said.
"The stars now displayed in front of all the world are the star officials who have hung them up in the sky bit by bit. Each star represents a star official, not a certain shining world."
"It was the ancient star officials who jointly forged the Avenue of Stars, thereby intervening in the movement of the sun and the moon, and becoming one of the three talents of the sun, moon and stars."
"Originally, only a few worlds have natural stars, but Star Official has expanded this to all worlds, making the starry sky a standard feature in all worlds."
Hearing this answer, Li Qi felt frightened.
The starry sky... was forged by man?
Did the star officers...hang it up one by one?
The world itself has no stars? In other words, there is no such bright light that can be seen between the worlds. Originally, all the worlds should only have the sun and the moon? Not even the sun and moon?
Was the way of the sun and moon also forged by others?
Li Qi didn't dare to think about it.
But the Taifu continued to ask him: "Do you know what this means?"
He looked at Li Qi.
Li Qi didn't want to say that he didn't know this time, so he lowered his head and thought about what this meant.
Li Qi is a smart man, and he quickly found the key.
Every world does not necessarily have stars, nor does it necessarily have sun and moon.
It's hard to tell about the sun and the moon. After all, in Li Qi's understanding, the sun and the moon are actually stars and satellites, although they are different in the world...
The sun and moon in the world are of the same size. The sun and the lunar sky are of the same nature, and no one is more noble than the other.
But when it comes to other world groups, Li Qi knows it. For example, the Diuse he has been to is the entire world group, hundreds of thousands of worlds, sharing a pair of sun and moon.
These world groups revolve around the same pair of sun and moon.
So what does this mean?
What represents the 'sun, moon and stars' is not universally applicable.
The sun, moon and stars themselves have their own limitations. This is not like the laws of physics, which will definitely take effect wherever they are placed.
Then this means...
The way of the world is not universal.
The rules of the world are everyone's own.
This is actually a very scary thing, because if you think about it, on earth, the entire universe follows the same set of laws.
But here, Li Qi suddenly realized something.
Every world follows different rules!
He misunderstood.
This 'universe' in the world is not the universe that Li Qi understands!
Seemingly seeing Li Qi's expression, Taifu nodded: "Do you understand now? What is a heretic?"
"Outside the Endless Realm, there are countless world groups. The worlds in the world group range from large to small. The large ones include the universe, the small round sky and places, and there are even some strange worlds, such as the turtles carrying turtles stacked one on top of the other. The world, the giant who tosses the world like a ball, etc.”
"The universe refers to all time and space, not a single system." Taifu said.
And Li Qi also understood.
He had always thought that... the outside world was actually the universe as he originally understood it.
The world, although a little strange, should be no different from the planet.
But after hearing what the Taifu said, he understood.
The world and the planet are so different.
Personally speaking, the entire universe in which the earth is located is probably just a 'world' on the Tianxia side.
The observable universe, which spans tens of billions of light-years, is just a 'world'.
Tens of billions of light years... this distance.
Maybe... it's a first-grade world?
No, it’s hard to say.
Li Qi knew so little about that level that he had no way of knowing or judging.
However, one conclusion can also be drawn.
The entire outer domain is not a universe composed of planets and galaxies.
But a 'multiverse' composed of worlds one after another?
The Taifu said: "So, this is heresy, a world different from the world I know, with completely different rules."
"It's just that there are differences among heretics."
"For example, in the infinite worlds outside the territory, many of these worlds share the same avenue, and the various constants are the same, but their composition is arranged in different ways. Therefore, this is the most recent heretic. Have you seen Jintai?"
Li Qi nodded. He had seen many world groups on the golden platform.
He knew that these world groups were worlds that could be rushed to quickly. Taking Jintai's transportation, even if they were countless billions of light years away, they could easily arrive in a few hours.
"The world encompassed by Jintai is the world unified by the same avenue. The world inside has been almost assimilated by the world." Taifu said a terrifying fact calmly.
"The world outside Jintai, such as the sixth-grade world you hold in your hands, is a world with great differences. The basic laws are roughly the same as our universe, but the constants may be slightly different, which can produce more special products. These special products are also One of the driving forces behind the continuous expansion of the world is this, the second farthest heretic.”
"There is also a further outer path, which only existed in conjecture before. That is, even the most fundamental path is different, and the various settings and constants are completely different."
The Taifu looked at Li Qi and said calmly: "This third-far heretic is where you come from. It used to be a guess, but it is no longer true."
Li Qi's breathing stopped.
This heretic is indeed a bit far away.
"Of course, there is the fourth level and the farthest, but that is even more nonsense. It talks about a completely different avenue from what we know. It has no similarity at all. This is not even a complete guess. It’s like a dream.”
"Do you understand? What is heresy, and the importance of heresy in you." Taifu said.
Li Qi saluted again: "I understand, kid. Then I have another question. Demon, why do you value me so much?"
"Why? Well... for the sake of detachment." Taifu pondered for a moment, but now he answered quickly.
"Detached?" Li Qi frowned.
Detached from what? A dignified grade, is there anything else that cannot be transcended?
Even the physical laws of reality cannot control him. He can modify the world at will, fiddle with the light of the universe, trample on space, and even people's memories and thoughts can be easily erased and rewritten.
Li Qi couldn't figure out what else could keep him from transcending.
Facing Li Qi's doubts, the Taifu replied: "Li Qi, do you know the weaknesses and characteristics of the devil's way?"
Li Qize immediately replied: "Young man knows a thing or two...it was the devil who told me just now himself."
The Taifu said that he knew, and then explained to him: "The devil believes that everything is empty and empty, and only one's own heart is real. So for their path, how to fill one's heart is Top priority.”
"And he transforms into a free-spirited demon, so he is naturally the strongest among them. His small world of human body... is also called the desire realm, or he transforms into a free-flowing heaven and a demon world."
“In the Desire Realm, everything in the outside world can be reproduced here and be satisfied. All your desires and pursuits can be satisfied in the Desire Realm. You can even pursue the Tao in the Desire Realm, and the external Tao can be found in the Desire Realm. The reappearance in the desire world is no different from that in other worlds, and it is actually usable.”
"It is a... dreamlike world. It was built by the demon using all his knowledge, intelligence, and all the secondary demons all over the world to see everything with his eyes."
Li Qi felt a little numb in his heart as he listened to Taifu's description of the world of desire.
What is there that these first-class existences can’t do?
What meaning does this world have to them?
Reversing time and space, reversing cause and effect, all wishes come true. Now the world of desire can easily copy everything in the heavens and the world. To the devil, this world is just something he fabricated at will.
What else does he pursue?
At this time, the Taifu knocked Li Qi on the head and said to him: "This is the characteristic of the devil, but at the same time, it is also the weakness of the devil."
Li Qi immediately became respectful and pricked up his ears to listen to the weaknesses of the demonic path.
"The devil has built a complete world in his heart. This world itself is impeccable and perfect, but...perfection means standing still."
"The Point Guard Is Here"
"He transformed into the Demon of Freedom and is famous for his changes, but when an object has all the changes at the same time, it is equivalent to losing the ability to change. When it changes into reality, can his heart still transcend reality?"
Hearing Tai Fu's rhetorical question, Li Qi fell into deep thought.
He thought about the answer to the question in his mind.
Taifu means——
The small human world of the devil is destined to be unable to transcend reality. The world of desire has included everything in reality, but it is still difficult to transcend.
This is the shackles of the devil's path, the endless shackles that imprison him in his transformation into a free-spirited demon.
Even if there is no Taoist conflict in your body, you can set it however you want, and all the parameters can be adjusted at will. Then can you make something more exquisite than the real world?
If you want to be more subtle than reality, you need to transcend reality itself.
Impossible, impossible.
The reason why it can't be done is also very simple.
Can people imagine something that does not exist?
Or to put it another way.
Can the demon use his method of transformation to create something that doesn't exist at all in the real world?
Wait, as a third-level heretic...
Is it just something that the devil can't imagine?
