How many possibilities are there for the future?
Li Qi felt that there should be countless kinds.
Genuine ones, countless.
You drank a glass of water, but you didn’t drink that glass of water. You drank the water with your left hand, or you drank the water with your right hand. You used three fingers to hold the cup, or five fingers.
One thing has countless choices.
And every choice will lead to countless branch lines, and these branches will continue to branch out, and will eventually be endless, forming a "web of possibilities" for the future.
Moreover, there are others of the same level in this web of possibilities.
There are enemies in the second level and there are enemies in the first level, so it is impossible to exhaust all possibilities.
Therefore, if there is no way to exhaust the situation, we can only 'take it one step at a time'.
How to go?
That is, constant reset and constant review.
It was hard for Li Qi to imagine how far he should go to win in this situation?
He originally thought that 'God's Will' was already an invincible existence. After all, manipulating cause and effect and manipulating existence itself were already extremely powerful means.
But now, looking at it, what does the so-called 'divine will' mean in front of this kind of existence that can reset reality?
Everything you control and the future you carefully plan can be erased by the other party.
Li Qi didn't know, he couldn't imagine how this ability could break the situation.
No matter what you do, I can just reset it, so is that a win? And if both sides have this ability, what exactly is the competition? Is it wisdom? Or power?
Knowing the future does not mean changing the basis of the war. When both sides can continue to interfere and reset reality, it can only bring about one deadlock after another.
He couldn't guess how such a war would be won or lost. In the end, he could only sit down and said: "Okay... I will stay here for three hundred and fifty years."
Zhizhu said: "That's good if you understand. As I just said, this is not punishment. Mistakes do not need punishment. Mistakes only need to be corrected. Only betrayal needs punishment."
"Moreover, everything I said today is just a reminder for you. You can think about it carefully in the next three hundred and fifty years."
After saying this, Zhizhu's spirit disappeared here.
Obviously, the other party has many things to be busy with, so talking to Li Qi so much is already a favor.
After the other party left, Li Qi held his chest.
He has experienced many things in the future, but all of them have been lost.
The three hundred and fifty years he will experience in the future, together with many futures, are written off with a single stroke.
Has he really experienced those things?
So...hasn't he experienced those things?
Li Qi fell into deep thought.
His mind was completely immersed in the 'paradox of time and space'.
He suddenly remembered what the other party mentioned when he was talking to Empress Luofu.
"If the future can be changed by traveling to the past."
"Then it means that the current world must be the final ending that has been changed countless times. Of course, there may be new changes in the future, but the current one must be the final ending that has been changed." (See Chapter 34. Chapter Nineteen)
No wonder Empress Luofu had no feeling at all about changing the future.
Because she already knew it.
In other words, my existence at this moment is certain, and it is the final choice after countless changes.
Then...it seems that I can understand the victory that I and others achieved.
Li Qi couldn't understand how such a war could be fought, but at least he knew one thing...
That's the battlefield below, and it does work.
The role of myself and others is not to serve as a backdrop, but to help the second-grade people explore possibilities.
Countless people have used their ingenuity, their lives, and all their wisdom and inspiration as advanced intelligent creatures to help the second-grade people explore the possibilities of the future.
The choices made by everyone are likely to lead to an ending that even the second level has never thought of, and this ending will lead the future to a new direction.
This is the meaning of the existence of other people on the battlefield.
But...does it really make sense?
Do people like myself really have 'reality'?
The so-called reality is just like the 'entity' according to Li Qi. It has the power of self-sustainment, and existence is existence.
But now, am I...still an 'entity'?
Li Qi realized that everything about him could be modified at will by the powerful.
He once again deeply realized what Empress Luofu said to Shen Shuibi——
"The reason why the world is like this is because the true immortals want the world to be like this."
In other words, if the world wasn't like this, they would reach out... erase it all and start it all over again.
It's just like a player who keeps playing SL and reloading files until he reaches the perfect ending once.
If the second-grade player is a player, then he... is an NPC with no reality at all, and his existence... is completely dispensable.
For players, NPC has no reality. The existence of NPC only depends on a thought. The plot experienced by NPC, the time spent, all the memories, and even the existence itself can be overturned at any time and started over.
The so-called history, the so-called future... for the second grade, they are all 'now'.
Zhizhu told Li Qi the ending clearly and unmistakably, which made Li Qi feel an...indescribable feeling in his heart.
how to say……
Zhizhu told him that in the future, he would join forces with the devil because of his wife and daughter's problems, causing one-seventh of the front to be destroyed. In order to prevent this from happening, he needed to be banned here for three hundred and fifty years.
So, who do you think you are?
Li Qi suddenly fell into self-doubt.
He could understand Zhizhu, but...understanding, he still had doubts about himself and even the real world.
But it was just suspicion, not a breakdown in Taoism.
Li Qi, who had seen the demons, already knew the methods of the powerful ones, but now he just knew one more.
Even if the reality of self does not exist, so what? No longer alive?
Know that you are in the control of the Almighty, so what?
Aren’t people who can’t even escape from God’s will also looking for their own lives? Why should Li Qi feel sorry for himself?
However, just as he was sighing, there was a sudden noise at the door.
Li Qi raised his head and looked into the distance.
He saw some people who seemed to be busy, as if something had happened, so someone came to deal with it.
Li Qi walked out, but he saw a fifth-grade person similar to himself being carried out.
Is this dead?
There was no external injury, but it could be clearly felt that the opponent's inner world was completely shattered, and violent energy was everywhere. If it were outside, it would have exploded, and the damage caused would be enough to destroy many worlds.
But in this weird cave, these violent qi couldn't stir up any waves at all, and they couldn't even escape from the body, so they could only stay inside.
The inner world has become like this... It should be that the heart of the Tao collapsed and was unable to restrain the cultivation, causing the Tao in the body to become scattered, and the inner world naturally collapsed.
The Taoist heart is broken.
Li Qicai could guess why.
This area is probably just for people like him.
No wonder that Zhizhu praised himself.
It seems that there are only a few people who can persist in themselves and remain unwavering in the face of the 'truth'.
After all...this 'truth' is a bit too scary.
How many people can remain calm when they realize that they have no reality, that their existence is only false, and that everything they experience can be tampered with at will, or has even been tampered with countless times?
Li Qi looked around and found that in such a small house, there were many fifth-level people who were calming down their Taoist hearts and persuading themselves.
These...are the people who need to be 'grounded'.
They are all in the future, and have caused huge losses, so much so that the Zhuzhus took action to gather these people here to try to change the future.
Li Qi is also one of them.
This made Li Qi suddenly feel angry.
You and others should not be treated like this.
Even if Zhizhu said that this was not a punishment, but a decision made for victory, it shouldn't be like this.
Just telling the truth is cruel enough.
and……
Li Qi suddenly realized something.
It was because of the incident involving his wife and daughter, that is, Shen Shuibi and Li Shiwei, that he chose to join forces with the Demonic Way. Although he was rescued, it resulted in the loss of one-seventh of the Demonic Way's front.
So, now I am grounded...
Shen Shuibi and Li Shiwei are still outside! And it has been related to the devil!
No way? Could it be——
Li Qi's heart skipped a beat, wouldn't it be because he was under house arrest here that he couldn't intervene if something happened outside, and eventually something happened to Li Shiwei and Shen Shuibi?
When he thought of this, he suddenly became anxious!
He was no longer interested in watching other people's affairs, but returned to his room.
We have to find a way to understand the outside world and let Shen Shuibi take Li Shiwei back. We can no longer stay on the front line.
However, Zhizhu said that he can move freely in this cave, but he can only stay in this cave, cannot contact the outside world, cannot make breakthroughs in cultivation, and cannot leave written or image records.
Zhizhu didn't allow him to contact the outside world. I'm afraid he had already thought of this, but Li Qi... obviously had no way to force Zhizhu.
He was not qualified to make demands at all. If the other party wanted to force him, he had no choice.
A sense of restraint surged into Li Qi's body, as if there was invisible mud covering him, making him unable to move or breathe.
This is imprisonment.
This is for the final victory, but not for Li Qi.
Li Qi stood up fiercely. Regardless of whether Zhi Zhutong agreed or not, he would spread the news to the outside world, no matter what!
He could accept being grounded and even do something as difficult as climbing to heaven. After all, this was something he had caused, and the witchcraft was his sect and had given him countless help, and he should repay it.
But at least he should be given a chance to be summoned and asked to withdraw by Shen Shuibi and Li Shiwei.
Li Qi immediately went to look for Zhizhu.
He came outside the door, grabbed a fourth-grade being who was walking, and said to him: "Senior——"
But I never thought that the other party would answer in a familiar manner: "If you have any requirements and want to apply, just go to the mailbox over there and stamp your own breath on the envelope."
Li Qi turned his head and looked at where the other person was pointing. There was indeed a mailbox hanging there.
After saying that, the other party drifted away, as if there were still many things to do and there was no time to lead Li Qi.
However, it was enough. It was obvious that Li Qi was not the first person to make such a request. There should be quite a few people who came to this place to accept the ban.
So, he immediately turned back, stretched out his hands, and some vegetation appeared in his hands.
These are the plants and trees that grow in his inner world.
Put the grass and trees in your hands and knead them, kneading the fibers in them almost instantly, then introduce water vapor to make a ball of wood pulp, spread it out, and use magic to control the fire to dry it, and quickly make a piece of paper. .
He also ground ink from the ore, used his finger as a pen, and quickly wrote a letter.
Nowadays, he can create something out of nothing, and can make almost any substance out of thin air.
After delivering the envelope to the mailbox, he returned to the room and sat, waiting for the news.
Originally, he thought that he was only a fifth-grade person, and it was not impossible to wait several months to deal with his problems. Li Qi was already prepared to wait for half a year.
Compared with more than three hundred years in the future, half a year is still bearable, so Li Qi was prepared to wait.
But what he didn't expect was that only four hours had passed before Zhizhu's spirit came to his room again.
"About your application..." The avatar came down with the same calm tone as always.
"Huh?!" Li Qi stood up directly.
So fast?
"You applied to send messages to the outside world, but I'm sorry, this request cannot be approved." Zhizhu Fenling said.
Li Qi felt like he had been poured cold water on him, but he still remained calm and asked, "Why?"
"When you enter here and are informed of this matter, the causal line between you and the outside world has been temporarily cut off. Before the end of time, if you rashly interfere with the outside world, it will have unpredictable consequences. For the outside world, You are in a state of non-existence now and cannot be observed or traced back. Your cause and effect is now stable here." Zhizhu Fenling said this.
This answer was completely beyond Li Qi's expectation, but it made perfect sense if he thought about it carefully.
Simply banning them has no effect. Wu Dao chose to directly seal the existence of these people.
"Then... you can hide my existence, just move them away from the front line." Li Qi said.
"Yes, the transfer order will be issued in three hours, and they will be evacuated from the front line." Zhizhu Fenling said.
"Thank you, senior. I didn't expect... to be so easy to talk to." Li Qi breathed a sigh of relief and clasped his fists in thanks.
"You are all striving for the ultimate goal of witchcraft. Restricting you here is the result of our incompetence. Of course, your needs must be met as soon as possible. As long as you do not violate the prohibition I mentioned before, you are here It's free, so I'll leave first." After finishing speaking, Zhizhu Fenling dissipated directly.
Li Qi let out a long sigh of relief.
That's fine.
He sat down on the chair.
However, at this time, a voice suddenly came out of his heart.
"Are you really relieved?"
