Myriad Paths

The situation is really too complicated.

The entanglements between the nine places are unimaginable, and now the situation has fallen into a new reversal.

Forces are constantly entering the scene, new situations are constantly unfolding, and everyone has their own purpose, which in turn opens up new possibilities.

This is by no means a one-on-one battle that determines the fate of the world, but a big melee in which everyone acts for themselves.

It feels like the entire universe has gone crazy.

Haotian still did not come forward. Although the war in heaven was ongoing, Taiyi and Haotian had not directly clashed yet, and the battle still stayed within the scope of the second level.

But... everyone knows that fighting will definitely lead to the end of the first rank.

Let’s not talk about that.

Now, Li Qi's zombie, a zombie with complete thinking ability and external response, has separated from the Demon Prince.

He left the zombie demon prince and the battlefield, and instead stood with Di Jun, suspended above the coalition of demon gods and among the stars.

The Three Realms are still in his hands, and he still maintains complete thinking ability. Everything is normal except that he has no ego.

Even the zombie Li Qi was still sighing at Di Jun beside him.

"Is this the way of demons? You seem to be full of energy and vitality, but you have no talent for constructive activities, so you must vent your energy by doing bad things."

"However, I feel that one day, violence will be seen as a product of youthful exuberance, disgusting, and the quick wit of ignorant prophets. To be honest, I think the demon is wrong."

Zombie Li Qi said this while looking at Di Jun.

The Emperor Jun is holding a Zhugan jade Qi, covered with animal skins, surrounded by Wenbei, Lishu, Luan birds, imperial birds, big things, small things, and many birds hanging on his head, including blue birds, Lang birds, black birds, yellow birds, etc. Birds, tigers, leopards, bears, snakes, and yellow snakes.

The former Emperor Jun was dressed in clothes and swords, but now he is dressed in animal skins. It can be seen that his concept has changed in this regard.

Next to the zombie Li Qi, Di Jun listened to Li Qi's words.

Di Jun was a little surprised.

In fact, this was also the first time he saw a 'zombie' after his subjective consciousness had been erased, because the demon rarely used this trick.

Di Jun also knew the reason very well, because the prerequisite for using this trick is to 'acknowledge that the other party has a subjective will'.

Admitting that the other party has subjective will is a big blow to the demon, and it even affects the path. This shows that Li Qi has indeed caused a lot of trouble to the demon.

He has also heard that zombies whose subjective will has been wiped out have almost no change in their external appearance, and they remain the same, because what the 'self' is is actually very mysterious.

Some people say that self-awareness is like an illusion in the mind. It seems that everything around you is a thing of the past. Although you can see clearly and unobstructedly, it disappears in the end.

But seeing the existence of this kind of zombie with his own eyes now made Di Jun feel a little scared.

Li Qi really didn't seem to have any changes or any flaws. He was exactly the same as under normal circumstances. He could even make judgments about the current situation and put forward some opinions.

If Di Jun didn't know, Li Qi would never agree to target Haotian, and he would not be able to tell whether this was the real Li Qi or a zombie.

How terrible.

Completely depriving a person of his or her self without leaving any trace behind.

"Why didn't you reply?" Zombie Li Qi asked Di Jun.

Di Jun just smiled: "There is no point in saying this, let's move forward."

Di Jun didn't want to waste too much time with a zombie, let alone debate the path with him.

It's just a zombie. Everything he said was actually just some kind of 'reaction'.

Just like dropping a pebble into the water, the water will ripple.

It's like talking to some kind of generative AI. Just input text and you can get an answer.

He did answer, but what was his answer?

Today's zombies are like this.

Di Jun didn't mind having a speech with the real Li Qilai, but he was too lazy to communicate with the current zombie.

Li Qi's zombie is not angry, because he has no subjective feelings at all. His 'anger' only exists when he "should be angry", and when this "should" is depends on the situation.

Yes, a zombie will also look at the situation. He has the ability to cope, because the ability to cope does not require self-awareness to support it.

In the operation of a country, perhaps the supreme king is the least important thing.

The emperor's idea may be the source of arrogance. A king wants to talk to another king, otherwise he will never say a word to his subjects, even though the country actually relies on his subjects to run, and the king is dead.

However, these differences no longer matter.

Emperor Jun's self-consciousness, his 'King', does not feel that his subjects can create a future. In his eyes, the King is a necessity for Zhudao, while other subjects are a necessity for 'survival'.

And chasing the road and surviving sometimes don't go together.

So, there's not much to say about a zombie that simply maintains its own existence.

Without self-awareness, everything is just feedback to external stimuli. Although no flaws can be seen, there is indeed no need to communicate.

With the end of these conversations, zombie Li Qi has arrived in heaven.

Above the heaven, Taiyi was already waiting for Li Qi and Di Jun.

Taiyi's body is very beautiful, like the convergence of countless galaxies, with the light of stars constantly lingering around the entire heaven.

The area of ​​the heaven is very huge, with countless palaces suspended above the auspicious clouds, distributed within a range of hundreds of millions of light years, and a Milky Way that stretches for billions of light years surrounds these palaces.

The Tianhe Navy wanders around these palaces by boat. If a mortal comes here, he will feel like he has taken a tour in a colorful dream world.

Like a feather floating in the boundless universe, on a clear night, on the extremely light lake without a trace of ripples, looking up at the bright moon hanging on the dome, the surrounding sea of ​​stars is rotating around it, and the stars are moving.

Di Jun brought countless monsters and gods below to the heaven, crossing the Milky Way and the Tianmen.

Li Qi also flew up and came to Taiyi.

Afterwards, Taiyi said to Li Qi: "According to the agreement, you will bear my body."

"You are the body formed by observing my body, and there are three realms. In this universe, except for the first-grade, only you can bear my body."

"And I will get rid of the restrictions of all living beings and fight Haotian in full glory."

Taiyi said his purpose.

It turns out... the reason why he helped Li Qi was also for this reason.

The reason why the gods and monsters of the brutal faction were willing to help Li Qi and wanted to recruit Li Qi was for this moment.

Li Qi observed Taiyi's body and formed his own second-grade structure.

Now that the three realms have been formed, the Ten Thousand Heavens are directly cast in this chaotic form.

All this is to allow Taiyi to find someone who can carry his body and let him get rid of the shackles of all living beings.

Zombie Li Qi did not refuse.

There is nothing to refuse. If you can temporarily experience Taiyi's body and truly carry "living beings", then this is of course a great thing.

Even more, this can promote Taiyi's crusade against Haotian. If Haotian dies, Li Qi can continue to destroy demons. It's all good.

Since it's all good, why not do it?

So, zombie Li Qi took on Taiyi's body.

And Taiyi finally got rid of the pressure of sentient beings.

Taiyi is the aggregation of "sentient beings".

He is all the star officials, and the star officials are the power of all lives gathered together. This is both his power and his burden.

When Taiyi is burdened with sentient beings, he can't fight Haotian in the end.

If that's the case, mortals may think that Taiyi actually wants to target them.

But in fact, Taiyi doesn't hate sentient beings, but he has a lot of opinions about Haotian.

Haotian... has suppressed this world for too long.

In fact, this world could have more future.

Who says that destroying mortals is not a future? Who says that destroying the devil or destroying Buddhism is not a future?

Since they are all the future, why should this world be imprisoned in the state of "coexistence"?

Destruction is also a possibility. Haotian keeps saying that he wants to maintain the diversity of the whole world in this state, but in fact he imprisoned all living beings.

And as we all know...

Taiyi's essence is all living beings.

Haotian restricted the diversity of all living beings, and Taiyi was imprisoned.

Taiyi used to think that this was nothing, and even thought that Haotian was right. It is always good to have more living beings and more creativity.

However, now, after a long time of getting along, Taiyi has a new idea.

Haotian has actually clamped down on the development of this universe.

It seems that Haotian has maintained the existence of diversity, but maintaining diversity itself is to kill more possibilities.

Taiyi has witnessed this overbearing emperor rejecting too many futures. If it were not for Haotian's support, humanity would not have survived to this day, and the universe might be another look.

And Taiyi, as the manifestation of all living beings, would also be another look.

So...

Taiyi is going to disobey Haotian.

There is just one problem. As long as he still carries all living beings, as long as all living beings and many gods are still his body, he cannot fight against Haotian, because... this body was created by Haotian.

Someone must be found to bear the "living beings", and then the free Taiyi can fight Haotian in a state without burden.

Li Qi was chosen by Taiyi for this reason, and his own structure was passed on to him, allowing him to stand on the second rank.

Now it seems that although Li Qi himself is unwilling to disobey Haotian, zombie Li Qi is still willing.

Moreover, what Li Qi can do, zombie Li Qi can also do.

Zombie Li Qi began to carry all living beings, and with the power of the Three Realms and the Ten Thousand Heavens, he forcibly carried Taiyi's body, so that all living beings would not collapse immediately, so that all possibilities were bound.

And Taiyi's pure and flawless spirit floated out.

That was so pure.

His purpose was also pure.

Taiyi wanted to change the status quo. This universe has been whipped by a driver like Haotian for too long.

Everyone wants to make a difference in the real universe, and everyone wants to influence all living beings.

The powerful ones seem to think that their way must be implemented among all living beings, otherwise they will be unhappy, and they even want to eliminate those who disagree with them.

This seems particularly strange in front of the naturally divine Haotian and Taiyi.

Especially as a ‘hybrid’, Taiyi couldn’t understand what was going on with this forced pursuit.

And the fight between the nine lands of the world and Haotian gave Taiyi the impression that… this was not real ‘diversity’.

This was a singleness in the guise of diversity.

It seemed that all beings were different, with different species, different technology trees, different cultures, and different social atmospheres.

However, in Taiyi’s eyes, this was just the voice of the world in a consistent manner under different guise.

It was really unpleasant. This world should have been multipolar, and diversity should have been realized. All life originally had its own unique culture and ideas.

However, the world, through culture, education, propaganda, and control of the laws of the universe, gradually castrated and dwarfed the culture of all life into the ideal people in the eyes of those powerful people -

That was not diversity.

You can’t just chase after the world and sleepwalk with the world. You can’t come back until your own path is completely disintegrated.

A brain-dead world has no future.

And Haotian is gradually witnessing the birth of this brain death. The diversity he maintains has become a slowly dying coffin.

So, Haotian should die.

Taiyi abandoned the body composed of all living beings.

The chaotic consciousness sent out the exploding fragments, conveying a crazy message: "Haotian, you are the nanny of this crazy world, it's time to let go."

So, at this moment, the Emperor of Heaven appeared.

The sound was thunderous, rumbling, and countless spirits around were like wind and rain, spreading among the ten thousand worlds.

It shines on Qianwei above and clears the earth.

The dark and the bright are the same, and the original energy of the cave.

It gushes out whales and tidal flats, and it surges.

Instant lightning, dew and grace.

The golden bells sounded, and the hibernating dragons rose up.

Zhurong was behind him, holding the flag, Xuanming was in front of him, opening the jade road, Gou Mang was in charge, and Rushu was the first to fight. Rongcheng, Da Ting, Bo Huang, Li Lu, He Xu, and Zun Lu set up the battlements around him.

The Emperor of Heaven goes out, and the other emperors gather around him!

Walking in the footsteps of Shang Yu, the qi of the group competes for existence, the heaven and earth are opened up, and all things are born.

Using the long star as a flag and the thunder as a drum, he drives the gods out of the car, summons Xin to slow down the wind, ascends the lofty height of Fuyao, and washes the bright light of Guangyao.

The body of the Emperor of Heaven appears here.

The sky and the earth witch god appear at this moment, but they do not help Haotian. Instead, they meet Haotian and go to the direction of humanity.

Humanity also wants to take action at this opportunity.

Alas.

Is the fire still set on fire by the demon?

When Wu Xian is dead, when the zombie Li Qi appears, is the current situation doomed?

The situation that Haotian is most reluctant to see.

A first-class chaos.
