Chapter 870: Remains of the Dead Demon

The Desire Realm exhibits a puzzling nature.

Deep red, calm blue, overly passionate emotions, the mysterious color of sadness spreads, a mass of chaos that keeps seeping out, embodying the unique taste of that primitive power.

The void actually gave rise to a steep meaning, and various colors formed turbulent vortices, but if you only look at the surface, these forces are like the vast surface of water, the rapids converge into huge waves, rushing out, and turning into a huge mouth that swallows the abyss.

These colors even make people feel an indescribable uneasiness, the thick and turbid colors are constantly stirred, like an overturned palette, flashing layers of light in the extreme fineness.

The unpredictable mysterious throbbing sometimes even reminds people of piles of rotten meat, and while feeling nauseous, it seems to see some flickering desire.

Both great and indifferent, both beautiful and cruel, floating on the smoke and waves, these torrents first swirl into a giant column, and then shake and unfold, forming a snow curtain, showing their colorfulness to the fullest.

But if you look closely at this colorful waterfall, your mind and vision will suddenly fall into a terrible darkness, as if you were washed into the abyss by a flood. This feeling is so weird. Li Qi knows very well that he is just nervous, but not long after, a fear spreads to his heart and grabs him tightly.

Although there are still thousands of rainbows shining in front of him, the colors hit the shaking rocks, splashing waves and foam, rolling and rising, and the smoke is like the billowing smoke of a fire, and like the thousands of water mists smashed by the waterfall. In this torrent, some "solids" like rugged rocks decorate and set off this scene, but even these solids have to be wrapped by the air flow, circling down the abyss, entangled and fighting with each other, and finally gradually disappear into waves of chaotic fluctuations.

This is the vortex of the spirit, where endless imaginations are mixed together, and then all the elements derived from these imaginations and thoughts are used as materials to stew a thick soup.

Here are the 'four elements' of Buddhism, distorted time and space, 'nature' worshipped by witches and wizards, and occasionally humane order, or these collide with each other under the control of natural evolution, plus many areas with 'autonomy' floating around, and even more other messy areas, which cannot even be described in words.

Purely disorderly, beautiful and primitive chaos, full of depraved carnal desires, and noble sacrifices, passion and decadence coexist, belonging to the mundane world, and transcending it, it seems that one can faintly perceive the primitive nature of man from it.

In this interweaving of carnal desires and passions, nobleness and meanness, love and hate, there is also a certain frightening factor, as if as long as you pursue it, you can explore some seemingly beautiful but terrifying secrets.

The shocking, most primitive colors and emotions are like magic where beauty and evil coexist.

Or... this itself is the 'magic' method.

However, there are still "solids" around that are difficult to destroy by these torrents, and Li Qi happens to be part of the "solids".

Although the environment of this place is weird, it seems to change according to some powerful will, that is, Li Qi can form a stable cluster around his will and senses, which is the "stone" in the flood.

The stronger his will, the larger the cluster he can maintain, and the stronger the stone.

But don't be distracted, because once you stop concentrating, the cluster will return to a chaotic state and turn into a torrent of colors that washes everything.

However, for Li Qi, his existence is the "solidest rock" in this torrent. He can easily maintain an island instead of a stone.

But he didn't do this. He just solidified his perception around him so that he could more conveniently observe all the situations around him.

Is this another level of the desire world? Or is it coexistence?

It should be coexistence.

The Desire Realm is not just an imitation of the real universe. Its existence is a collection of all desires. Since there is the cognition of "reality", there will naturally be pure chaotic thinking.

Li Qi did not stay here for too long, but continued to expand his perception.

After a full 750 years, Li Qi's spirit began to feel a little tired.

This does not mean that he has reached his limit, but that he is a little tired after processing so much information, and the intelligence is enough.

Yes, his perception covers a universe with a radius of at least trillions of light years, and all the information has been included. He can even name each world after deduction.

In a place in the Desire Realm, there are indeed the remains of the dead demon, and many places know about it. After Li Qi's cross-verification in different worlds, the existence of the dead demon remains was confirmed.

And many worlds know the existence of the dead demon remains, but... no one is willing to go there.

There is a hidden and dangerous "wonder" there. Although it is not in the real universe and cannot be called an "outside wonder", it is essentially not much different from that.

It is hard to say whether it is the Death Demon that makes it dangerous, or the Death Demon's wreckage that keeps it there because of the danger.

Of course, it is also possible that they complement each other. Not only is it dangerous, but the Death Demon's wreckage has also doubled its danger factor, so that no one has been able to take the treasure from it until now.

But...it's said to be a treasure, but it should actually be called a 'bomb'.

However, according to the intelligence that Li Qi found out, many powerful people had been forced back from that place. They all went there, but in the end they all chose to let go.

Below level 4, sometimes just 'looking' can lead to death.

This is also the reason why there is no civilization with the ability to navigate in the void around that extraterrestrial wonder.

After being born, he then observed outside the territory and looked at the sky with a telescope.

The first look at the sky will bring down entire civilizations.

Just like the ancient gods entrenched in the dark void, they are chaotic, disorderly and dangerous. As long as you notice the existence of the other party, you will die.

For the civilization born in that star region... don't look up at the starry sky, the starry sky represents death.

Either he is ignorant and stays at the eighth or ninth level, lying in his own world and never looking up at the stars.

Either...die.

"This is really..." Li Qi woke up from his perception.

Then, he decided to explore the truth and see the condition of the dead demon's remains.

However, he is ready to test the waters first.

The next moment, Li Qi came to the area covered by this wonder.

There was no view to speak of, just pure darkness.

Occasionally, you can see some light spots, which are the light of the world.

"Let's go in and see if we can save a world." Li Qi thought, randomly selected a world and entered it.

He wanted to use this eighth-grade world to conduct an experiment.

——————————

The Holy City should be called this.

It is the religious center of this world.

Of course, it is not just the religious center, it is the center of almost everything, politics, economy, almost all important products and institutions are placed in this city.

This is a city... with almost no light.

In fact, life here does not need light. They use other sensory organs. It is not like the real universe, where there is a "star official" to arrange the starry sky and raise the sun, moon and stars.

In the real universe, all this seems to be a matter of course. Every world naturally has a "starry sky", the "sun and moon" will rise, and various shapes will be arranged in the starry sky, indicating the fate of this world in the way of celestial phenomena. Or the arrangement of stars can be used to represent the changes in the four seasons, and then the yin and yang will rotate, the sun and the moon will cycle alternately, and the sun will rise every day...

These are all ‘everyday miracles’.

In the world of desire, there is no ‘star official’ responsible for the operation of these things. Therefore, if there is no sun around the world, then the world will face permanent darkness.

In this case, organisms will also make corresponding changes.

For example, the city here...

This holy city...

This city is not a primitive tribe. In fact, although the technology here is not very developed, it has definitely entered an industrial society.

Tight metal wires stretched across the river and the eaves, buzzing like bass strings.

These are 'wires' that span various parts of the city and are the source of the city's basic energy. This electricity comes from 'power plants' in various places, which continuously burn coal and emit thick black smoke.

In addition, there are a lot of trains, silly big black gears and the like.

If it were not in the Realm of Desire, this would probably be an ordinary technological civilization that has entered the industrial age.

But unfortunately, they are in the realm of desire.

Therefore, 'weird' things often happen here.

People’s thoughts also have ‘power’.

Occultism and psychology are not just a joke here, but a real hidden force. Every cry, every brewing of negative emotions may produce some 'monsters' or even many 'evil gods'. '.

Of course, they are all ninth-grade things. In Li Qi's opinion, they are just abnormal fluctuations that can even be solved with local guns and artillery.

But in the eyes of these people, this is the dark side of the city.

Therefore, religion plays a particularly important role here. Only the power brought by religion can soothe people's minds and reduce the occurrence of strange events.

However, what is indispensable in the industrial age is oppression, and...religion is not only good, esoteric religions and even cult groups are also common in this world.

It's like London where the ancient gods have awakened.

Li Qi appeared on the streets of this city and looked around.

He had fully understood the basic situation here before coming down, and there was no native in the world who knew the world better than him.

He can even name everyone in the world now.

The life here is still generally 'humanoid', but what the eyes perceive is not visible light, but infrared light.

Yes, although the world is dark in the eyes of ordinary humanoids, in the eyes of the locals, they live in a light, and even everyone can glow, and everyone has a thermal image.

So, Li Qi began to stroll around this place. As he moved forward, the crisscrossing wires above his head gradually became fewer and fewer as he walked. Narrow streets appear before us.

Ahead, a train sounded its whistle and crossed the river along the rising rails.

Li Qi's eyes followed it, looking to the south and east, looking at the dark city, the railway tracks extending into the distance, and then entering the land shrouded in darkness, this huge giant with countless workers in its belly The beast was quietly swallowed up by the more terrifying darkness, like a food chain.

Li Qi was about to pass the factory area. There were all kinds of industrial equipment still working in the dark night.

Many workers are busy, and the overburdened chains are spinning and swaying, like stumps that cannot use their strength, rattling with the rhythm of zombie steps, getting involved in the meshing gears and the spinning speed wheel.

Because there is no distinction between day and night, the work here is even more demanding. There is no "natural break" time. Every break requires serious negotiation with the boss, otherwise it will be open all year round.

But compared to the situation of these workers, Li Qi cared more about the progress of civilization here. He hoped to confirm the status of the dead demon's remains through this.

Thinking about this, he quietly entered a state of 'integrating himself with nature' and walked towards a 'esoteric church'.

————————

In the secret basement, a secret cult leader was giving a sermon.

"We are a species that has lived on the earth for generations. It started very early, but now, we can be said to have taken over the world and become the rulers of the earth."

"So, it's time to head to heaven!"

"It seems absurd, simply ignorant, and even rebellious. Those arrogant orthodox believe that the sky is the place where God lives. How can humans be the masters? This is contempt for the gods. It is an unforgivable crime. Countless seniors who want to explore the sky have been arrested. They burned to death."

"These statements are a manifestation of their incompetence! We have specialized disciplines and superb skills. We are moving forward step by step. Things that cannot be done today will be possible tomorrow! The earth has been occupied, We need a new era in the sky!"

"Now - this is our result! Just need to verify, just peek into the sky!"

He pulled back the curtain and launched countless ‘conjectures’ about the universe.

Yes, it's just a guess, because the sky is actually polluted by industrial waste gas, making starry sky observation impossible.

Li Qi was watching from the side, but no one noticed them.

Very enterprising spirit.

It's a pity that if the 'Orthodox' hadn't stopped them, they would all have died.

The moment you look at the stars, you will die.
