Wandao long distance

At this moment, on Li Qi's side.

Li Qi was dealing with the affairs of the City of Dreams, preparing to root out many arrangements of the devil here, but he still had some worries in his heart.

It was originally part of the plan to let Li Shiwei be used as a bait and take the initiative to expose her weakness so that the devil could "take advantage of it".

However, after all, I was a little worried.

"Oh." He sighed.

"Why, do you still think it's pointless to do these things?" Jing Wuzhen asked.

She almost understood Li Qi's attitude. In Li Qi's eyes, what he was doing now would be changed right away as long as he waited for those demon lords to come back, which meant that he had not done anything.

Meaningless.

But Jing Wuzhen was different. She felt that it was meaningful no matter what.

"No, I no longer think these are meaningless." Li Qi shook his head and said.

"Oh? Is it the result of that epiphany?" Jing Wuzhen was curious.

For the Fourth Rank, what they insist on is not easy to change. Li Qi's sudden change of attitude is probably inseparable from that epiphany.

Li Qi sighed: "Yes, it has something to do with that epiphany. By the way, do you know the 'timing sequence'?"

"Time sequence is the order in which things happen, right? What's wrong?" Jing Wuzhen was a little confused.

Li Qi put down his work, looked at Jing Wuzhen, and said: "In this universe, to the powerful, everything is actually nothingness, and it has been like this from the beginning. Think about it... …The universe itself is something born out of nothing.”

"The birth of this universe has no purpose, and our existence has no purpose. The existence of all things does not have an innate definition or 'mission', so... we need to follow the path, because when we live, we must have a goal."

To live, you must have a goal.

This goal can be a very nihilistic 'living', or it can be appetite or other desires driven by pure instinct, or it can be a noble journey.

But it doesn't matter, these goals are essentially the same. They are the motivation given to oneself by higher intelligence to find a reason for one's own existence.

Life is meaningless, what is meaningful is ourselves.

Humanity strengthens this point of view, believing that everything is meaningless, and only 'people' are meaningful, so humanity will regard things other than 'people' as material.

This is not discrimination, it is for a very practical reason, that is, this universe is indeed meaningless. The meaning is given to this universe by 'human beings', so naturally this universe should also be defined by 'human beings' .

From this perspective, you will find that the logic of humanity is actually quite smooth.

Of course, there is no one in the world whose logic is not smooth. Each Taoism has many books and wise men to demonstrate these from various angles, but... once these smooth logics collide with each other, it will produce conflict.

"So, what does this have to do with timing?" Jing Wuzhen didn't quite understand what Li Qi was feeling.

Li Qi raised a finger: "Think about it, this world is void and meaningless, so what is the only thing that exists?"

"According to the Demonic Way, the only thing that exists is the 'subjective will' itself. This is unquestionable. Everything else can be questioned. Similar views are shared by Buddhism and Taoism."

"Buddhism talks about 'emptiness', Taoism talks about 'truth', and Taoism's theory of "the soul knows the soul" emphasizes knowing the soul without guarding it, and mobilizing the true nature of the soul, in order to achieve the state of "nothing is true everywhere". It is the 'Supreme Way', and the only supreme way is real, and the rest are all derivatives."

"But Buddhism says that all four elements are empty, and there is no limit to emptiness. This world is inherently void, and all living beings need to realize this, and then still recognize their own meaning in the void. This is 'enlightenment'."

"Lingdao is similar, but Lingdao admits the existence of other thinking, and demonstrates the 'existence of public language' through the 'non-existence of private language', and then confirms the existence of other subjective consciousnesses, constructing a 'pure thinking' world."

"At the same time, according to humanity, all things in this world are real, but only after 'people' give them meaning can these things escape from the abyss of meaninglessness."

"The witch Tao is similar. The witch Tao recognizes the reality of this world, and also recognizes that every higher intelligence has the power to interpret and understand the world. All of this combined is 'nature' itself."

Li Qi narrated what every orthodox thought was 'real' in this nihilistic world.

These are not necessarily the true meanings of the various traditions, but they are indeed what Li Qi realizes at this stage.

Li Qi continued: "Every orthodox tradition has what it considers to be 'real', but there is one thing in common behind all these 'realities'."

Yes, Li Qi had already realized this. He had already noticed this when he had his last enlightenment.

As mentioned above, all 'reality', even the 'absolute subjectivity' of magic, are based on a solid foundation.

"This foundation is 'timing'."

"Everything must be based on the premise of 'what happened'."

"A world is born. Even if we look back, it was born before."

"A perfect love, even if it is erased from the source, has happened, and the story will not disappear. It is like a game where you can choose different routes, even if you choose a certain route at the beginning, when you Going back to the beginning of the game and starting a new story doesn’t mean that what happened before has never happened.”

"Everything is fixed by 'time sequence', isn't it? The reality of all these is based on 'time sequence'."

Li Qi said this to Jing Wuzhen.

This kind of communication is actually quite dangerous, because it is equivalent to discussing the "Tao" with the other party. If the "Tao" matches, you may become close friends, but if you don't agree with each other, you may get into a fight.

However, Li Qi's words obviously aroused Jing Wuzhen's interest.

She was also lost in thought.

Although for martial arts, thinking about these things seems to be of no use, but after all, it is the fourth level, and stupidity is also relative to the fourth level.

"Interesting... Is this the path you plan to take next?" Jing Wuzhen thought for a while and then gave up. This did not coincide with her way, and of course, it was not against it, so she was a little indifferent.

"Well, if that's possible." Li Qi said.

"Sounds very powerful, but there is a question, why are you so obsessed with pursuing 'commonality'?" Jing Wuzhen looked at Li Qi curiously. She was really a little confused. Judging from the power Li Qi showed, Li Qi had been pursuing the 'commonality' between various orthodoxy, which was actually quite thankless.

Why pursue commonality? Many orthodox traditions are inherently incompatible with each other. Blind pursuit of commonalities is a gamble in itself and will make the inner world unstable.

However, only Li Qi himself knows...

To say that he is unstable, his inner world is basically a bomb.

"Why? Then why do you want to go to martial arts again?" Li Qi asked.

"Me? Well... I didn't think about it that much." Jing Wuzhen shook his head: "I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child. I started practicing boxing at the age of three. I became good at boxing at the age of seventeen and practiced swordplay. I practiced swordsmanship at thirty-five, and then I just walked all the way, never thinking about why, and there is no need for a why. Thinking too much is of no use, it will only increase annoyance."

"It's in line with martial arts." Li Qi nodded.

The way of martial arts requires sincerity.

Honest to the heart, honest to oneself, pure but powerful.

Martial arts is not a complicated system. The birth of martial arts has a very simple purpose, that is: "fighting".

Whether it is conquest or protection, the essence is to fall into the simplest behavior, that is, fighting, and martial arts is to carry out fighting to the extreme.

They learn the concept of fighting and practice fighting skills. Everything they do and pursue is just for the battle itself and to win victory in the battle.

This is also the reason why people with too complicated minds generally don't practice martial arts.

If you are too smart, you will think about 'why you fight'. When you start thinking about this question, any answer is possible.

You may very well be led to other orthodox traditions by this answer.

However, Li Qi heard that among high-ranking martial artists, after they had thought about this answer, they still insisted on martial arts itself.

Jing Wuzhen should be like this. They don't care about the truth of the world, and they also know that the world itself has no purpose. For them, if they can use the fighting ability mastered by martial arts to implement their own ideas in this world and survive, then Will suffice.

Just like this dream city, Li Qihui was thinking about how to change it, how to 'cure the root cause' and 'change the path', but for Jing Wuzhen, it was just like the purpose of her coming here in the first place...

She just came to make trouble, and meeting Li Qi was an accident. Since she can make trouble better with Li Qi's help, she doesn't mind. As for more things... why bother to think about it, it's not important.

This kind of person should be the nemesis of evil. People who think too much will have more evil thoughts.

Li Qi smiled and said: "Then let's do things first. Since the timing will not change and what happened happened, then the so-called 'treating the symptoms' is absolutely meaningful."

"That's right, it seems that you have figured it out." Jing Wuzhen was slightly excited: "Your previous thoughts were too nihilistic, it is better to be down-to-earth. You people just think too much and do too little. "

"That's so well said...I think too much and do too little. Thank you for your guidance." Li Qi stood up, bowed as a disciple, and accepted these words.

Indeed.

Li Qi thinks too much. He is thinking about those things all the time, many conspiracies, calculations, and various deductions, but he rarely really interferes with something. He has always been a bystander. The angle is high.

Because he knows that this world is nothingness, and changing some things is actually meaningless, so he will not change it. After all... Suppose that a third-level person comes now, with a wave of his hand, the dream city will return to its original state. look like.

Everything is in vain, and what they do is actually meaningless. Li Qi realizes this, so he has no motivation to change.

If everything that happens is so illusory and just a phantom, how can you give people the motivation to change the world?

If it's a phantom you like, then that's fine. But if you don't know the phantom, it's normal to not care about it.

This sentence is indeed correct, but...

After realizing the 'timing', it is not necessarily the case.

What happens is what happens.

That's not a phantom. Even if everything is repeated, it's real. What happened happened, and everything is real.

Once upon a time, Li Qi had wondered about one thing, and that was...how a super-light-speed future war like the War between Humans and Witches would be fought. (See Chapter 631 for details)

For example, a third-grade person received a bunch of information about a future war and obtained war data from it. They planned to change the future and completely modify the past, so that the war would never happen...

So, what to do with this information?

Disappear suddenly? Now you have data for a future war that will never happen. So where did the information about that war come from?

At that time, Li Qi was only in the fifth rank and was confused about this.

He was so horrified by the power of the second grade that he couldn't understand it at all. It was too unbelievable to infiltrate information from the future into the past.

Although manipulating time and space on this scale seems to be of great benefit to war.

But in fact, Li Qi also knew that humanity also had this ability, so this resulted in the War of Human Witches not being shortened, but reaching a stalemate and prolonging it.

The deeper the object of manipulation, the more complex the manipulation itself becomes. Sometimes a decision will affect many people. With just a wave of their hands, trillions of people may disappear, or in other words——

Let these people never exist and never will exist.

After reaching the fourth level, Li Qi had already understood the mystery of reality. He already knew that it was not so mysterious.

In fact, it can be explained by common sense.

If this kind of super-light communication causes a space-time conflict, then so be it.

In fact, nothing strange will happen, it's just that some information suddenly appears out of thin air, and this kind of information occurs or is erased anytime and anywhere in the universe.

For beings with reality, they can produce this information anytime and anywhere, although this information can easily affect the external world.

So this information is meaningless and can be rewritten anytime and anywhere.

But now, Li Qi's understanding of this is even deeper.

Every bit of this information is true.

They are all real. (End of chapter)
