Chapter 683: A Lot of Retrospection
Chapter 683 Backtracking...a lot
In the Great Way of Immortal Heaven, Li Qi felt... Yao Ji's aura.
Moreover, it came directly to him.
It is well known that Yao Ji is a sixth-grade god. As a reincarnated god, although she is not a god in this life, she still retains a considerable part of the nature of a god.
According to Li Qi's own understanding, she can basically be said to be intact, retaining most of her power as a god, but only possessing a physical body made of spiritual grass.
This also caused her to lose her pure divinity and become somewhat human, which is why she is like this arrogant female brat now.
The reason for this speculation is that when Li Qi was at the seventh level, he saw the seventh-level Yao Ji fighting against the Demon Prince. At that time, she was clearly only at the seventh level, but she already had the ability to turn the imaginary into reality.
Turning emptiness into reality is a characteristic of the fifth level of witchcraft. Yao Ji can do this purely because she is the reincarnated original god. Her inner world is incredibly tough, and her ability to understand the principles of Tao is even more incredible. She was so powerful that even Li Qi and the Demon Prince at that time couldn't match her.
As a space administrator herself, her talent in building the inner world is unmatched by others, so she is called the strongest of the younger generation in Wushen Mountain.
At least Li Qi, who was at the seventh level at that time, couldn't touch him.
It's just that the god's cultivation speed is slower, and Li Qi's breakthrough speed is unusually fast, so the gap widens, but in the sixth grade, Yao Ji is still first-rate and powerful.
And this power was revealed at this moment.
Yao Ji, relying on her status as the original god, actually forced the Tao of Immortal Heaven to regress.
This is simply nonsense!
Let’s cheat!
But if you think about it carefully, it seems to be normal and can be explained.
When she first came to Immortal Heaven, Yao Ji casually ordered a mountain of water gods to force her to spit out all her spiritual energy to cleanse Yao Ji's clothes.
Li Qi hated this kind of behavior, and it was precisely because of this that Li Qicai became completely disgusted with Yao Ji, so much so that he directly let her go alone and parted ways.
However, this is normal for the original gods. They naturally have the ability to drive other lower-level gods.
As the daughter of Haotian, Yao Ji is extremely familiar with this skill, and she has long been used to it.
Therefore, Yao Ji is using this kind of power at this moment to forcefully repel the Taoist principles of Immortal Heaven!
I'm afraid this will only take effect the first time.
Because although Xiantian's status should be lower than that of Haotian, his essence is also a born first-class one. Even if he is not the original god, his personality definitely surpasses most of the gods, and may even surpass the essence of the world, reaching " Days' extent.
All heavens and all realms are easy to understand. Why are they called heavens?
It is because all the heavens are imitated by ‘Haotian’ and are the physical manifestations of the original God.
I'm afraid... this is also the reason why Xiantian calls itself 'Xiantian', right?
Therefore, Li Qi immediately judged that Xiantian would only be affected by the first accident, and the other party probably did not take this seriously at all.
But why does Yao Ji appear?
And why did the timing of her appearance and what she was doing at this moment seem so...protective?
Yes, protection.
Although she is a level six, and although she is actually not as good as Li Qiqiang, at this time... she seems to be taking action to protect Li Qi.
Li Qi's thoughts were racing in his mind, but he was not slow in his actions. Just the next moment, when Xiantian's Taoist principles gave in, he immediately took action decisively, wanting to help Yao Ji!
No matter how much we don't like it, we still have to work together.
Li Qi took action and wanted to use his inner world to assist Yao Ji!
But...he was surprised to find that his inner world had also been repulsed.
Yao Ji is not only fighting against Xiantian, but also taking time to fight against Li Qi.
As arrogant as ever.
Li Qi seemed to be able to feel what the other party meant——
Yao Ji seemed to be saying: "This is the domain of the gods. Mortals, stop and get out."
Her attitude has not changed at all, even when facing Xian Tian.
This made Li Qi very angry, but without the cooperation of the other party, if he went to rescue unilaterally, he would only bury both of them here.
In this case, it is better to sit back and wait for the other party to die before taking over.
Therefore, Li Qi immediately came up with the optimal solution to the current state.
Yao Ji won't let herself get involved, so in the process of the other party's fight against Xiantian, she should continue to think just now. By comparing Haotian and Xiantian, she can find Xiantian's weaknesses, and maybe she can survive longer.
It was clearly a desperate situation where death was inevitable, but Li Qi still did what he had to do and did not give up because it was 'in vain'.
That's what it means to be firm.
Just do your best, let’s talk about the result.
However, when he was thinking about it again, Li Qi suddenly realized... that he had an idea.
The reason was none other than that he knew a little more about ‘Haotian’.
Yao Ji is the daughter of Haotian.
The birth of gods is essentially the same as the birth of powerful beings. They separate part of their own Tao and then give it life.
In other words, Yao Ji is actually a part of Haotian.
The battle between Yao Ji and Xiantian can be said to be a small part of the battle between Haotian and Xiantian.
Yes, a small part, Xiantian still hasn't used his power, but it's normal. If Xiantian insisted on killing Li Qi, they wouldn't have been able to hold on until now.
This is one of the reasons why Li Qi felt confused.
Li Qi is very sure that if he can't resist Xiantian's erosion, he will die.
Oh, to be precise, not death, but 'harmony'.
Xiantian doesn't want to kill them, but just wants to 'eat' them, so that Li Qi and Yao Ji can completely become part of Xiantian. This process can actually be resisted.
So, there is still room for resistance.
Is this... some kind of test?
Li Qi thought about these questions while watching the battle between Yao Ji and Xiantian.
Anyway, he couldn't intervene.
Not long after, Yao Ji was defeated and assimilated by Xiantian.
She 'harmony'.
Li Qi's heart tightened, knowing that it was his turn, and then he stood up.
But at this moment, Li Qi found that... the world around him began to reorganize.
This, he was very familiar with, the backtracking often used by the powerful.
This is inside Xiantian's body, which means... the only one who can trace back here is probably Xiantian himself, right?
Li Qi was blessed by the witch god, so he was not affected by the traceback, but Yao Ji over there had returned to the moment when she made the move.
Everything happened again.
Li Qi sat back down, and Yao Ji appeared again, trying to 'protect' Li Qi.
Time went back to the moment just now.
Why did Xiantian do this? What was he traced back? Was there something that he needed to trace back?
I don't understand.
But there are not enough clues to deduce.
Let's continue to compare Xiantian and Haotian.
He continued to focus on the battle between Yao Ji and Xiantian.
However, after watching the whole process again, he got nothing.
There was no suspense, it was a completely overwhelming victory.
Xiantian didn't make a move at all. He just existed here, and he easily crushed Li Qi and Yao Ji. The perfect and impeccable Dao easily swallowed Yao Ji.
Yao Ji didn't show the nature of Haotian at all, and was defeated directly.
But... immediately, time went back again, and Yao Ji attacked again.
Li Qi was confused.
What was going on?
Is someone manipulating all this? Or is this a test from Xiantian?
Li Qi's mood had unconsciously changed from anger and tension at the beginning to confusion.
This is really weird, what exactly is going on?
Li Qi began to watch and think with suspicion.
But he soon found that things were not as simple as he thought.
Yao Ji failed once, twice, three times...
Then, a thousand times, two thousand times.
One hundred thousand times, two hundred thousand times.
One million times, ten million times.
Finally... it reached 100 million times.
Time kept going back and resetting.
Yao Ji's battle lasted about a few minutes.
During these few minutes, Li Qi watched from beginning to end, and then, after Yao Ji failed, she would start over.
Repeated, 100 million times.
Li Qi didn't know what Yao Ji was thinking, maybe she didn't realize it at all, in her opinion, everything was the first time.
But Li Qi has actually experienced it hundreds of millions of times.
Even with Li Qi's patience, it is almost reaching its limit now.
It is impossible to describe what this feeling is. The same thing happened to him 100 million times. Every time he dared not let it go, for fear of some variables.
But every time it was the same.
Li Qi found that even if he had enough time to review and deduce, he actually couldn't find the opponent's flaws.
It was too difficult.
Perfection, the best thing, even compared with Haotian, could not find any key.
Moreover, Li Qi's sense of crisis became more and more serious.
He didn't know where the sense of crisis came from, but the sixth sense of the witch was always very effective.
He could only continue to record and repeat this battle. Fortunately, he was already a fifth-grade, with a firm heart and extraordinary patience.
Finally, after the 130 millionth time, Li Qi couldn't hold on any longer. He could no longer continue to record the number of times, duration and specific events.
Li Qi also has a limit. 130 million times has reached his processing limit.
Unfortunately... there is no limit to backtracking.
After that, Li Qi had no idea and no way to count how many times he had gone back.
He didn't understand why the other party had to go back so many times, nor did he understand what Xiantian wanted.
The only thing he could do was to keep himself awake as much as possible.
After 130 million times, Li Qi stopped counting.
Every time he saw something, it was the same start.
The perfect erosion of Xiantian, the stubborn battle of Yao Ji, after Li Qi gave up counting, he started to move.
Later, Li Qi chose to take action, regardless of Yao Ji's obstruction, forcibly took action, interfered with the battle, and caused variables in the battle that had been repeated for more than 100 million times.
But this variable was meaningless. Yao Ji's stubborn refusal and non-cooperation made Li Qi very annoyed, and he had no way to play a different ending.
He had many choices, such as escaping, actively cooperating with Yao Ji in various ways, and amplifying Yao Ji with the method of sacrifice behind his back. There were so many spells, and he could try each one.
Yes, many, many choices.
He tried every one of them.
I have been trying until my imagination is exhausted, but I still can't get rid of this retrospective dilemma, and all the endings are still the same.
He even did things like backstabbing Yao Ji and actively killing her.
Just to explore more possibilities.
Yes, possibilities.
Li Qi must find a 'possibility', a possibility to break this cycle.
At this time, he suddenly remembered that the witch god once said that it would be very 'painful' to maintain this perspective.
In his previous life, Li Qi had already deeply felt this kind of pain and deeply understood the horror of the retrospective perspective.
But he never thought that this kind of pain would be so strong.
Time passed slowly, and this thing was also slowly repeated...
How many times has it been repeated?
So, 200 million times?
Maybe more?
I don't know, I can't tell, even with Li Qi's mind, I am a little mentally broken.
He began to be in a trance and amnesia. Although he will recover soon, Li Qi realized that this was a manifestation of his Taoist heart being tortured to the point of collapse.
He had no choice. Even though Li Qi remained firm, did not commit suicide, and did not go crazy, his mental endurance was limited after all.
Amnesia, uncontrolled behavior, and memory disorder began to appear in Li Qi's subsequent actions.
He would have convulsions from time to time, sometimes forgetting who he was, and even felt that he was in a dream.
After who knows how many times... maybe 500 million times? Or maybe 1 billion times, this number is meaningless, and Li Qi's mind has almost collapsed.
No matter how many times it is repeated, the ending is the same.
No matter how many possibilities are found, all possibilities lead to the same future.
He even wanted to give up thinking and completely become a beast, letting his instinct guide him to continue to sink in this endless cycle, or simply commit suicide and die.
But...
It's meaningless.
No matter what he does, he must face this endless cycle.
Infinite repetition.
Remember Zhu Fengdan told him that it would probably take a million years to come here, so should he help him erase his memory so as not to affect his Tao heart.
At that time, Li Qi said righteously that he didn't need it. If 99% of his memory was deleted, he would not be himself.
But now, he regrets it a little.
However, there is no regret medicine in the world, and he must bear the consequences of his choice.
People can make any decision, no matter what the decision is, whether it is good, bad, a crime, or something else, but they must be responsible for every decision and bear the consequences. Only in this way can they be considered a person.
So, Li Qi suffered the bitter fruit of his arrogant decision.
In this endless cycle, Li Qi, who was confused, suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind.
For Yipin, is the infinite monkey typewriter they made the same?
Is what he is facing at this moment what Yipin is facing?
