Chapter 700 Chang Xi's Wine

Before the banquet began, Li Qi fell into some kind of thinking because of Yang Ning's words.

The 50,000 years in the distorted space-time were longer than all of Li Qi's previous lives, but he did not feel that it was long, and even felt that it was a bit short.

If Zhu Fengdan had not pulled him out and pressed his head to let him face this fantastic, magnificent, and exquisite world, he would probably be completely addicted to the beauty of building the world.

During that time, he "closed the door and built a car" and built many, almost countless possible worlds.

Some are symmetry-breaking alien constant worlds, which are also the most he built.

Some are static worlds, that is, finite, static, and the kind of world where starlight can fill the entire night sky.

Some are closed worlds with positive spatial curvature, some are flat worlds with zero spatial curvature, and some are fine structure constants, that is, the intensity of electromagnetic force interaction has changed.

For example, if the fine structure constant changes, the force of the electromagnetic force that binds molecules together will become smaller, the speed at which electrons combine into atoms will slow down, and the speed at which atoms combine into molecules will also slow down.

This leads to lower melting and boiling points. For example, the most common stars are made of gas, and they tend to collapse because of their huge gravity. However, the heat provided by the hot melting reaction in the core produces outward ejection of gas and radiation, and the pressure of their ejection neutralizes gravity, so the star can still remain stable.

But if this change occurs, the balance will be broken, gravity will prevail, and the star will become brighter, rotate faster, and produce supernova explosions faster.

If the speed of light becomes faster, the hydrogen in the entire universe will not be able to fuse into helium, and there will only be hydrogen, which cannot gather into stars and cannot produce more chemical reactions.

On the contrary, if the speed of light slows down, the fusion of hydrogen becomes too easy, and all hydrogen will fuse into helium. There will be no hydrogen, and there will be no most compounds, such as water.

This impact is very far-reaching. To put it in a small way... a rubber band will have no elasticity in this environment. To put it in a big way, the universe will lose more than 90% of light elements.

All of this is the world created by Li Qi according to his own ideas, which is the experience from the earth.

He also knows that the foundation of the world is not atoms, but "qi". It is qi that makes up everything. The world composed of qi is more magnificent than the world composed of atoms.

The reason is also very simple. The number of types of qi far exceeds those dozens of common elements, and the properties are more bizarre, and some even have the characteristics of perpetual motion. In other words, qi, as the most basic material composition, can construct more wonderful and magical macroscopic matter, and even break the so-called thermodynamics.

Moreover, qi itself seems to be infinitely divisible. In other words, the most basic material classification of quantum does not exist for "qi".

This property can make the changes in the world more subtle.

This degree of subtlety and complexity is an existence that Li Qi cannot touch, and it is also something he admires at this moment.

The word "Hao" in Haotian means vast. Now it is indeed vast and extraordinary.

But, but, this is not the reason why Li Qi fell into contemplation.

What he really pondered was the relationship between such a magnificent, subtle and beautiful scene and Shen Shuibi and Li Shiwei.

Fifty thousand years of twisted time and space, except for the beginning, after he was immersed in it, he actually...didn't think about Shen Shuibi and Li Shiwei.

This is really...

So, Li Qi raised his head and looked at Chang Xi, Luofu Niangniang, and Shen Shuibi who was sitting next to Luofu Niangniang and talking about something.

Li Qi stood up decisively, left Yang Ning, and walked over there.

If you can't figure out something, then ask the elders.

Yang Ning saw that Li Qi didn't delay at all, and stood up and walked towards Luofu Niangniang, and could only sigh slightly.

Unknowingly, Li Qi has grown from the little guy to the current fourth rank.

She even felt a little fear in her heart.

This is too...

Terrible, terrifying, unreasonable, this is Yang Ning's impression of Li Qi now, and... She felt a chill from Li Qi.

It was a feeling of indifference that gradually lost humanity. Li Qi's mind was getting closer and closer to the sky and more and more detached from the mortal world than when he was young.

Coupled with his unstoppable promotion speed, Yang Ning felt at a loss.

Alas, Li Qi was only at the ninth rank a thousand years ago.

Let’s not talk about this. Li Qi quickened his pace and came to the side of Luofu Niangniang and Changxi. Shen Shuibi was also here.

After reaching the fourth rank, Li Qi’s thinking organ was no longer easy to see through. Now he can finally keep a little privacy in front of the third rank.

“Hello, Niangniang, hello Lord Changxi.” Li Qi stepped forward and saluted first: “I came to visit you in the hope of getting your guidance——”

“Li Qi, this is a family dinner.” Luofu Niangniang mentioned.

The meaning of this is very clear, that is, now is the time for family gatherings. Everyone in Luofu Mountain, including Li Qi, the son-in-law, has come. Everyone happily gathers together to have a meal, so don’t mention the matter of cultivation. These things will be discussed later.

“Niangniang, what I want to say is related to this matter.” Li Qi did not stop, but continued: “You are already at the third rank, but you still look normal and amiable, but I am not like that.”

"I am only a fourth-grade, but... with Yang Ning's reminder just now, I suddenly realized that I have felt alienated from this real world unconsciously, and the so-called family dinner seems to be unable to touch me."

Yes, alienation, this is Li Qi's summary of himself.

For family, friends, and this real world, he seems to have a hard time raising a certain enthusiasm. Shen Shuibi is still his love, but there is no such... sense of reality.

He still loves rabbits and little bunnies, but is this kind of "love" a kind of "habit", an inertia that continues over time, or does he still maintain this kind of love?

Li Qi couldn't tell, and he was horrified to find that his interest in building this world has exceeded his interest in talking to Li Shiwei.

This made it difficult for him to accept, because he didn't realize when this change happened.

So he chose to come to Chang Xi and Luo Fu Niangniang and ask these elders if this situation was normal.

After all, for them, they should have encountered this situation before, right? Especially Luo Fu Niangniang, how did she keep her mentality stable?

Hearing this question, Luofu Niangniang and Changxi looked at each other and then smiled.

After that, Changxi asked Li Qi: "Li Qi, your life span is different from the actual time you have experienced. You were promoted to the fourth rank because you used distorted time and space, right?"

"Yes, is it a sequelae?" Li Qi frowned.

The essence of using distorted time and space is to work behind closed doors, to be separated from the real world, and to speculate everything in an independent time and space purely based on thoughts and existing knowledge.

Will such an approach lead to a disconnect from reality?

When Li Qi was puzzled, Chang Xi answered: "Twisting time and space will not have sequelae, it will only increase the difficulty. It is actually your own fault that you encounter such a thing."

"You are too obsessed with chasing the Tao. After all, the power of the fourth rank is very easy to make people addicted. You seem to have lost your direction and don't know what you are doing with these powers."

Chang Xi continued: "I remember that I once read a sentence in your memory. At that time, you thought that cultivation was not just for fighting and killing. Practitioners would definitely fulfill their own responsibilities according to their own strength."

"So, now, I ask you, what is the responsibility of the power you are chasing, the power that controls reality and distorts matter?"

Chang Xi's words made Li Qi fall into deep thought.

He began to search in his mind, looking for the memory of saying these words.

He remembered that he did think so.

At that time, he thought: "Practicing is not just for one's own strength, but more like mastering more skills and more weapons, so that one can better implement the practitioner's own thoughts and ideas." (See Chapter 78 for details)

At that time, Li Qi would go to mediate the relationship between people, gods and ghosts all day long, just like a community director, communicating with the gods of mountains and rivers through sacrifices, communicating with villagers through words, and talking with ghosts through rituals.

In this way, Li Qi, who was not in the rank at that time, quickly achieved the point of communicating with the eighth-rank ghosts and gods, and quickly mastered his own power.

But, today, Li Qi knows more and more things. He understands more and more what the principles of those things in the sacrifices are, how to modify them, how to customize the appropriate sacrifice methods, etc., because he has fully understood these specific operating logics. He does not cook according to recipes, but understands the characteristics of various ingredients and then assembles suitable dishes by himself.

The power and knowledge he has mastered are getting stronger and stronger. He has even begun to delve into the cosmic constants and can create his own parallel world.

Li Qi indulged in such great power, although he knew that as a fourth-grade person, the power he mastered was actually still based on the real world.

The modification constants he made were essentially "second creation". He did not have the ability to write a worldview on his own. He could only use the real world as a template, and then make fine adjustments to make his own "second creation".

Only when he reached the third grade could he write his own original works.

But he still enjoyed it and figured out many wonderful uses, such as the dimensionality reduction attack just now, and reducing the dimension of the object and then raising the dimension, so that it loses information and then destroys the structure.

However, after doing this, what should he do with these powers?

The so-called pursuit of the Tao, is it to be closer to the Tao, or to use these powers to do what you want to do?

And what do you want to do?

Including your family? Or... just keep going up?

Looking at Li Qi who was lost in thought, Luofu Niangniang reached out and pulled his ear.

Li Qi suddenly woke up from his meditation, bowed immediately, and waited for the other party's teachings.

However, he saw that Luofu Niangniang just smiled and said: "Now it's a family dinner, think about these things when you go back."

"Yes." Li Qi didn't dare to say anything more,

but he still realized that Luofu Niangniang's words were actually a kind of reminder.

It seems that family is still very important to Luofu Niangniang.

However, at the moment when Li Qi was thinking about this, Luofu Niangniang repeated it again: "Think about it when you go back."

Li Qi was startled, and then immediately bowed and said yes.

Then, he decisively eliminated his idea of ​​continuing to discuss this issue and turned his attention to the family dinner.

Chang Xi didn't say much, just chuckled, and then brought out a pot of wine: "By the way, Li Qi, do you remember that I once said that I used your experience to refine things that you have never imagined."

Li Qi immediately recalled the corresponding experience, which was where he first met the Moon Mother Chang Xi. (See Chapter 637 for details)

At that time, Li Qi thought that his experience was producing something that he could not understand. His wisdom and knowledge could not keep up with the Great Witch, so the Great Witch could not tell him what it was.

"Is this what I could not imagine at the beginning?" Li Qi looked at the pot of wine.

Chang Xi said: "Ming Yue is originally in love, and as the Moon Mother, I naturally have some magical powers in this area. Speaking of which, Yu'er seems to know these tricks, why haven't you used them?"

Shen Shuibi shrank her head: "These things are meaningless."

Li Qi heard this conversation and immediately felt something was wrong.

Wait, this statement, Shen Shuibi, the moon spirit, is not related to the moon mother Changxi?

But think about it carefully, the Sun and Moon True Lead Cauldron itself is the controller of the road of the sun and the moon, and Shen Shuibi's generation of moon spirits, it seems difficult not to be related to the moon mother...

"How can it be meaningless? Look at Li Qi now, isn't it meaningful?" As he said, Changxi poured a glass of wine for Li Qi.

The wine is like moonlight, filled in the cup, invisible and intangible, shaking to see translucent luminous wine, but when it is picked up, it only feels like an empty cup, without any weight, just like a ball of light.

Li Qi picked up the cup: "Is this the wine brewed with my experience?"

He said to himself in confusion, and then drank it in one gulp without hesitation.

The moment he drank it, Li Qi suddenly felt his own feelings.

Yes, it's wonderful.

Feeling his own feelings.

People have their own feelings at all times, but the feelings that people can feel are basically limited to this moment.

Few people can experience their past feelings firsthand. Even if they recall them later, these feelings will most likely be distorted and become a "vague impression in memory."

But after drinking this glass of wine, Li Qi clearly felt his past feelings.

That was... what he had said to Chang Xi about the rabbit.
