Chapter 576 Shinto, Star Officials!
Shen Yijun didn't stay with Li Qi for too long. He left the Lingchou Realm soon. After all, he was just here to help.
The killing power of a warrior is like this. After Li Qi revealed his background and helped suppress the opponent's magic, he suddenly attacked and blew up the opponent alone.
As for Li Qi, after cleaning up the mess, he went to visit the Lingchou Realm Master.
Arriving at the Lingchou Realm Master's office, Li Qi knocked on the door.
"Come in..." The Lingchou Realm Master's weak voice came from inside.
Li Qi pushed the door open and walked in. He saw the somewhat haggard Lingchou Realm Master. As a fifth-grade, she looked really... not very decent.
Because she had long known that the Heavenly Dao had been refined, and even Li Qi did not hide it from her.
This was the choice she made. After seeing Li Qi bear the backlash of the Heavenly Dao with his sixth-grade body, she made a decision.
"It's the young master who came... Then, is the dust settled?" The Lingchou Realm Master saw Li Qi and breathed a sigh of relief instead. His tense body collapsed on the chair.
"The Realm Master is a fifth-rank, so he should be able to see the battlefield, or did the Realm Master close his eyes?" Li Qi walked over and sat opposite the Realm Master of Lingchou.
"Yes, I dare not look, but... since it is you who came, the Humane Envoy should have left, right?" The Realm Master of Lingchou took a deep breath and managed to calm down.
"If the Realm Master's Dao heart is only like this, I am afraid that the road ahead will be difficult." Li Qi did not answer her question, but opened a new topic.
"What can I do? I am the son of destiny, and the fifth rank is the limit of this life." The Realm Master of Lingchou naturally followed Li Qi's words and did not ask about the Humane Envoy's stay or leave.
Li Qi had already hinted, so there was no need to ask again.
"So the Realm Master is the son of destiny, no wonder he is so... unbearable." Li Qi shook his head and spoke a little more heavily.
The Lord of the Spiritual Silk Realm did not refute, but continued the topic: "Now that the Heavenly Dao has been refined by the Young Master, this world has fallen into the Young Master's pocket. Can the Young Master be so kind as to let me wander outside the domain?"
"Why? I am only refining the Heavenly Dao as a temporary measure, and I am not prepared to occupy this world. The Heavenly Dao will return it with both hands later. I am just afraid that the Lord of the Realm will surrender to the Human Dao. As for whether the Lord of the Realm is willing to join the Wu Dao, it is up to him to do so. The Wu Sha respects the will of the world civilization itself." Li Qi said so.
The Lord of the Spiritual Silk Realm smiled bitterly: "Does it make sense? If you don't join the Human Dao, you will only be liquidated by the Human Dao, and you will have to choose one side to join in the end."
"This is not the fault of the Wu Dao. We will not force you, but... Although we don't force you to join, you can't be enemies with the Wu Dao, otherwise you will ask for it later." Li Qi spread his hands, unwilling to take the blame.
The Wu Dao believes that everything in the world has its own position, and countless positions similar to ecological niches form a stable balance, which is the balance between 'heaven, earth, people, gods and ghosts' that the Wu Sha want to maintain.
They rarely force others to do anything unless they have to. For example, if the Lingchou Realm wants to become the enemy of Wudao, then there is no need to say more. They will definitely take action.
But if it does not interfere with Wudao, Wudao will generally not interfere with you, unless you are very unlucky and encounter a witch who wants to trouble you for personal reasons.
Personal reasons are not mentioned, there are all kinds of reasons, but Wudao as a whole generally has a style of "non-interference".
"Yes, humanity is right, Wudao is right, we are wrong, it is the Lingchou Realm's own fault..." Lingchou Realm Master murmured.
Li Qi did not answer, but released his control over the Heavenly Dao, and then bowed slightly and left here.
What a joke, Wudao himself has to make a choice.
How can you do whatever you want? Li Qi seems to be high above, but he is still forced to participate in the war?
Who doesn't have some difficulties?
After leaving here, Li Qi did not delay and went straight to the Lingchou Realm's outer dock, ready to set off there.
There was no need to worry about the affairs of the Lingchou Realm. The Chamber of Commerce that he had left behind would finish the work. After stabilizing the world group represented by the fifth-grade world, he could go to the core of Xinsu.
The wonder of the outer domain, the Great Fire.
Using the spell given to him by Shen Yijun, he would see if he could really communicate with the Great Fire and win a little favoritism from the star officials, or even absolute neutrality, which would be a great achievement.
Li Qi did not delay, as he had been in the Lingchou Realm for so many years. Although a few years was actually nothing, after all, they were all immortal species, and it was common for a small fight to take several years.
Thinking about these things, Li Qi came to the dock outside the Lingchou Realm and put down his ghost car here.
The ghost car was very different from the surrounding flying boats. There were hell visions all around, and little ghosts were beating gongs and drums around, and all kinds of underworld beasts were howling constantly, which scared the people around.
Li Qi did not care about them either. He drove the ghost car and ran wildly outside the domain under the crowd of visions.
A ghost road spread out, with ghosts laughing, singing or crying in the air, being led away by ghosts, it was extremely horrifying, the painting style was not pretty at all, but... it was quite in line with the impression of witches and shamans in the eyes of ordinary people.
It was normal for witches and shamans to be a little weird, Li Qi even performed a great dance during the sacrifice, it didn't matter.
In this style, Li Qi's speed soared to nearly a thousand times the limit of the Heavenly Dao, running all the way outside the domain, maintaining this speed, it would take about a year and three months to reach a large world built by the witches and shamans themselves, which was closest to the fire, where there was a branch of the constellations.
Yes, the branch of the Constellations, in the end, you still have to be teleported through the Constellations. If you want to fly to the Great Fire at a speed a thousand times the limit of the Heavenly Dao, if you run honestly, it will take about three hundred years.
There is no way, the outer domain is very large and empty. Only the powerful or those who are not in a hurry are qualified to travel outside the domain. Others should just take the paved highway honestly.
It was very boring along the way. Basically, you can't see anything. Only occasionally will you pass by some world-class giant ships, but it is limited to passing by. The other party can't even see Li Qi, but can only see the exhaust of the ghost car.
More than a year passed peacefully, and Li Qi rushed to the location of the Constellations.
This large world is the fourth grade, built by Wu Dao himself, and originally there were no natives.
That's right, although it is a fourth-grade world, there is no indigenous civilization, it is just an empty shell. It is said that this is because the Heavenly Dao here is extremely tyrannical, and it has destroyed the world several times, and finally annihilated all civilizations, turning it into a dead land without life.
Of course, a dead land is a dead land, but the world itself is not a problem at all.
If the world is just for survival, then it does not need life. It is life that needs the world, not the world that needs life.
After the Heavenly Dao destroyed the world several times, civilization itself could no longer affect the world, so it maintained the fourth-grade situation until the Wu Dao discovered this world and refined it.
This is basically a small replica of Wushen Mountain, and Wu Dao transformed it with his own ideas.
Li Qi did not stay here for long, but just replenished his supplies a little, visited the clan members here, left his information and traces, and then borrowed the branches of the constellations here, and came to the Shinto world not far from the fire.
The circle around the fire is the Shinto world controlled by the star officials.
Li Qi was a little excited because it was the first time he came into contact with the real "Shinto orthodoxy".
As witches and shamans, they actually have a good relationship with Shinto, and the star officials are also great gods that witches and shamans often deal with.
This is not an existence that those wild gods can touch.
During the teleportation of the constellations, Li Qi couldn't help but yearn for it. He was a little impatient to see what the real Shinto world looked like.
A few hours later, Li Qi fell back into the void outside the domain as he wished.
Here, the ‘fire’ was particularly bright, a ball of blazing flames hung in the void, but it was not hot or dazzling.
The fire seen hundreds of thousands of light years away was of this brightness, and now it is close at hand, only one or two light years away, and it is still of this brightness.
It seems that the light of the ‘fire’ has not decayed at all, it was like this at the beginning, and it was also like this hundreds of thousands of light years away.
However, this group of worlds...
is empty and lifeless.
There is no vitality at all.
Even in a place like the Lingchou Realm, world-class giant ships can be seen everywhere, there are flying boats for personal use, and many means of transportation shuttle among the stars. The vitality of the endless domain is undoubtedly evident.
However, in this territory controlled by the divine way, there is no vitality.
Li Qi could feel the grandeur and magnificence. Under the huge power of the fire, Li Qi could feel his own insignificance. He could also see that many worlds were running in an orderly manner...
But... although they were running, no one or ship broke through the world barrier. There seemed to be no communication between them. These worlds must be very strong. The world directly under the Shinto, the intelligence Li Qi had collected before indicated that there were even fifth-grade stationed here.
How could such a powerful group of worlds be like this?
No business? No communication?
Is this the case with orthodox Shinto?
With this doubt, Li Qi drove the ghost car and rushed to the Shinto world closer to the fire.
Although this is not the Shinto base camp in the world, it should be possible to see something, right? Li Qi thought so.
It took a few days for him to slowly come to the outside of a world barrier.
This world barrier is completely closed and cannot be entered.
Generally speaking, in a world like the Lingchou world, the world barrier will open a hole to facilitate entry and exit, and it is not necessary to cross the world barrier every time you enter and exit.
But there is no such opening in the Shinto world. From the beginning, the people inside have never prepared to come out. Similarly, people outside should not think about entering.
Li Qi frowned, and he began to travel. It took him several months to visit about one or two hundred universes.
This world group, so many worlds, each one is like this.
Wow, what the hell.
What's wrong with the territory of Shinto? Is it not prepared to communicate with people at all?
Li Qi wandered in the void for half a year, but he didn't find anyone who could talk. The endless void was empty, only the world was running steadily, and there was no living thing in the outside world.
"Maybe... the method is wrong?" Li Qi thought to himself: "Why not try to invite the gods?"
He thought, so he flew into the void, set up the altar, and began to try to invite the gods.
This is a common method used by witches and shamans, and it is also one of the special skills of the blessing people.
The so-called: "Telling the gods with words is called 'blessing', and asking the gods to add disasters is called 'curse'", which is also the way the witches and shamans in the world communicated with the innate gods in the world.
The offerings are spread out, and the rituals are complete.
The wine cups and wine vessels are well-made, and the pipes and chimes are played in rhythm.
The prayers are respectful, and the gods are present.
The tung and jade are precious early, and the ivory carriages are set up later.
The sound reaches the music, and the blessings are abundant and clean.
There was the sound of the wind and the fragrance of the fragrance, and the sound of the pipes and chimes.
This was a rather grand sacrifice, because Li Qi wanted to communicate with a wider range of people. He wanted to communicate with all the worlds in the void that he could see at the moment.
After all, he was an orthodox worshiper, and soon his sacrifice received a response.
So, at this moment——
A boom!
Li Qi sensed the response from the ‘gods’.
Not the kind of gods that were surrounded by believers.
Not the gods of mountains and rivers that occupied the mountains and rivers.
Not the fictitious gods that were fabricated.
But... a road, the road from the heart!
Li Qi could see that the worlds he had visited before, the worlds where he passed by and found that the barriers of the world were completely closed, were moving.
These worlds, like meridians and acupuncture points... formed a body.
How to say...
Constellation map?
The constellations that Li Qi had seen in that kind of picture, with a few stars dotted, then connected by lines, and then these lines formed a rough outline.
However, the outline of the constellation in the picture doesn't look that big.
But now... this so-called 'constellation' that gathered hundreds of worlds responded, and condensed a body with light blue starlight, and appeared in front of Li Qi!
Li Qi has been thinking about what the Shinto world should be like, but he never thought... the lineage of Shinto star officials is the world itself! And it's not a world, they are constellations, constellations composed of worlds!
Li Qi looked at the huge body that probably occupied half a light year...
What kind of star official is this? What is his cultivation?
Under such great pressure, Li Qi took a deep breath, relying on the calmness trained by touching high-voltage wires for many years, and carefully observed the body of the star official.
First of all, this is definitely not an ancient star official, it should be just a righteous god of the star official lineage.
The ancient star officials are at least three-grade, four phases, nine stars, twelve Yuanchen, and twenty-eight constellations. Each of them is famous and counted. If you can't recognize it, it must not be.
If it's just an ordinary star official, then... you can see through it.
Li Qi's perception was fully open, and he used all his means except for the sealed true knowledge rhyme.
He could clearly see that inside the body of the righteous god...
They did not have an inner world, because their inner world was the real world.
They also did not have the so-called "self-way", because the way of the gods was the most universal and common "worldly way"!
God is the heaven and earth itself!
God is the concrete manifestation of the power of heaven and earth, and is the natural way!
"Witch, why did you call me?" The star official sent a silent message, but Li Qi felt deafening!
