Myriad Paths

Li Qi was suspended in the sea, quietly observing

He engraved everything he encountered here in his memory, and waited until he returned to think about it slowly.

The idea of ​​Mr. Epidemic... is very interesting.

Can definitely be used next time.

King Bian waited for Li Qi silently for an hour.

Afterwards, Li Qi took a deep breath and stood up: "Okay, Mr. Epidemic, I have got what I want, so let me see your body later."

Li Qi had gotten what he wanted, and the next step was to help him come up with a good algorithm to solve his cultivation problems.

"Please." The sound echoed from the sea all around.

Li Qi fell slowly and stepped on the water.

Walking on water is not difficult, it is easy for them.

In fact, at the seventh-grade level, if there is no supernatural power or level, then the natural environment will be difficult to cause much harm to a seventh-grade being.

Unless it is an extreme environment such as the center of the earth, natural disasters in the normal surface ecosystem are not a problem for the seventh grade.

It can even be said that the seventh level itself represents a natural disaster.

Earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes, etc., just wave your hands.

Falling on the water, Li Qi began to do his work.

Split and observe.

Extract parameters. If you can't extract them, just ask directly.

With the full cooperation of Lord Epidemic, Li Qi made rapid progress.

Finally, late at night, Li Qi rubbed his head.

It's a bit hot, it must be at least 60 degrees, it's overclocked, it seems a bit cooked inside.

He raised his hand to grab a ball of water from the sea, then extracted the water vapor, condensed it into a ball of pure water, threw the remaining impurities back into the sea, and covered his forehead with the pure water to physically cool himself.

With just such a move, he killed at least three 'Epidemic Lords'. Each one had an independent mind and independent memory. From Li Qi's point of view, they were all living people.

But Lord Bane didn't react at all to this, he didn't care at all.

Moreover... there is no such thing as "collective consciousness" for the plague kings. Every plague king is independent and equal, and there is no such thing as a clone.

In other words, the entire Plague Lord group felt that there was nothing wrong with what Li Qi did, as it should be, as if they didn't care about their own death at all.

However, after such complicated calculations, the results were finally obtained.

"The amount of water collected per square meter does not exceed 242.2 billion, and there is a deviation of up to 100 million. If it does not exceed this deviation, although it has an impact, it will not have a big impact."

"Thirty-one and nine square meters is a node, seventeen nodes are a group, and the groups are extended to the nodes. One-time operation cannot exceed 600 million groups, otherwise the efficiency will drop by at least 10%. The more groups there are, the worse The more it is, the lower it will be to 60% at most.”

Then, Li Qi stretched out his hand and discharged a series of three-dimensional models in the air. They were extremely complex and contained tens of thousands of different compositions, and each of them contained hidden rules. The models in the body needed to be arranged strictly according to these rules.

This is not Tao, this is a 'method', just like the lever must be like that, the pulley must be like that, and the coupling of mechanical gears must be in a certain way to achieve maximum effectiveness.

Everything fits perfectly.

But Li Qi didn't know why it was so perfect.

He just calculated the result according to the formula he saw, but he didn't understand why it was like this, and he didn't understand the principle behind it. That was the purpose of practicing in the future.

Then, he took another set of models: "This is the composition of the groups. You must strictly follow this model to arrange the groups in the body. If this is wrong, the efficiency will even drop by more than 90%."

As Li Qi spoke, he began to show other models.

A complete set of methods is very complicated, not to mention that Li Qi has not simplified it at all.

Simplification is actually a very important step in creating exercises.

The existing methods are basically simplified to the extreme, making them convenient and easy to learn.

For example, if Li Qi calculates that the result is 1+1+1=1+1+1, this can actually be simplified to 3=3, which can save a full six steps of calculation process.

Of course, it's just 'easy to learn' compared to the original version, but it's actually still very difficult.

It is a pity that these models are not that simple to simplify. Li Qi is not at that level yet, so he can only give in to Lord Fang, or Lord Fang may try to simplify it himself in practice, which is not impossible.

However, Li Qi could only do this.

"I'm so... grateful. I didn't dare to think that I could retain so much power. With this, I can completely control most of my escaping aura. Thank you Brother Li Qi." Lord Blight said gratefully.

"You're welcome. It's just that we all help each other. You also helped me a lot. However, this model is too complicated and I'm afraid it won't be easy to control. According to my expectations... with the computing power of the seventh grade, it is estimated that it can be used for a long time. Is it about 60%? I’m not good enough and that’s all I can do.” Li Qi said.

It's really not good enough.

After all, even if there is a formula, you still have to do the calculations yourself. For many people, even if they are given a formula, they may not be able to calculate correctly.

Obviously, Li Qi is one of these 'many people', and he can only do so-so calculations, because Lord Blight's body is too complicated, and the rest is beyond his ability.

But compared to before Lord Blight, I don't know how much better it is. At least I can rely on things other than instinct to control it.

"No, no, no, it's good enough. Moreover, I can maintain it at the top of this model, which is more than 90%, so it's enough, and the rest is nothing to worry about!" said the plague king in the sea. .

"Wait, 90%? How did you do it?" Li Qi asked in shock.

Impossible. Li Qizi thinks that his computing power and information processing ability have reached the top of the seventh level. Lord Bian doesn't even have a brain, how can he calculate faster than him?

Li Qi himself could only maintain this plan, keeping it at around 60%!

"Hmm...how do you do it? It's very simple. Wouldn't it be better if we just let everyone restrain themselves?" Mr. Epidemic was a little confused: "Is there any problem? Shouldn't it be maintained at such a high level?"

"No...no, the higher it is, the better. It's just so powerful that I'm a little surprised." Li Qi said.

While explaining this, Li Qi looked around and thought about Lord Blight's words.

Wait, let everyone restrain themselves...

Why does this sound a little wrong?

"Mr. Epidemic, have you, who is talking to me now, discussed this with the other Mr. Epidemic?" Li Qi couldn't help but ask.

He seemed to understand something deeper.

"Of course, our memories are common. What I know, they also know." The plague king in front of me said this.

really.

The reason why the Epidemic Lord can maintain more than 90% of the stability is very simple, that is, the division of labor is different, and there will be many "Epidemic Lords" dedicated to maintaining this set of thinking.

It's like Gestalt consciousness, even more extreme than that, because there is no so-called main consciousness, but all consciousnesses exist in parallel and have common memories.

People only have two eyes, and they are used to using this pair of eyes to observe the world, and feel that they can see the most clearly this way.

But flies have thousands of eyes, so many eyes that they form a compound eye.

The world seen by this compound eye is different from the compound eye seen by human eyes.

Then... Lord Blight's self is based on this 'common memory', and everything else is just Lord Blight's metabolism.

The mind of the plague king that we usually see is just an appearance, an "organ" developed and evolved by this sea to achieve its purpose.

In other words, for Mr. Epidemic, memory and the body (this ocean) are the important factors of the self. The spiritual entity is just a cell that can be discarded at any time and added to metabolism.

The cells in the human body die and are renewed at any time in this way.

Li Qi raised his head suddenly and reacted suddenly.

So... is his mind the same?

The mind itself is just an organ of the body and memory. The 'I' itself is meaningless, it is just an organ born to help life survive.

‘I’, that is, self-awareness itself, the mind itself, is not important, at least it is indifferent to life. Just like legs, feet and arms, they are all born to assist survival.

At least, that's what Lord Blight thinks, and it can be seen from Lord Blight's example that this will not actually affect anything. Lord Blight has even become stronger because of it, becoming able to compete with the sixth grade in his body. The fierce man.

In other words, the concept of "I" actually does not matter at all. For the purpose of living, or 'existing', the mind is dispensable.

Li Qi seemed to vaguely touch something.

His eyes turned red immediately, and he felt that the only thing left to do was to take action!

The answer is right there, within reach, covered by a piece of paper!

But he couldn't think of it!

The answer is very close at hand. As long as you take one step, you can see through 'what I am', but this step... is so difficult.

Li Qi felt that there were countless choices and countless paths before him, all of which seemed feasible, but... he didn't know which path was right.

He didn't dare to act rashly, so he could only be careful and distinguish one path from another.

And this process of discernment is what he needs to do in retreat. At least now he doesn't have the time to do this.

Li Qi had never felt such a lack of time.

Sure enough, my progress was too fast and I lacked foundation.

After these matters are over, he will definitely stay in seclusion for decades to rest and recuperate, sort out all his complicated knowledge and all kinds of secrets, and classify them into categories, so that this knowledge can truly become a foundation.

He is now like a thin scholar who knows a lot of fitness knowledge, but in the end he has not put it into practice. It will take him a long time to transform these things into practice.

At the same time, he doesn't know where he is wrong or where he is right. All of this requires a little bit of trying and correction.

"Huh? Classmate Li Qi?" Lord Bian saw Li Qi in a daze and asked.

Why was Li Qi stunned again? Brain overheated?

"Ah...it's nothing. In that case, I'll take my leave first. I have something to do tomorrow." Li Qi came back to his senses and looked at the sea at his feet apologetically.

"Ah? It turns out that classmate Li Qi has something to do tomorrow. It's a pity that you have helped me so much and I can't repay you in return. I also want to invite you to attend a cultural gathering tomorrow." Lord Ying said with some pity.

"Literary meeting? What kind of literary meeting?" Li Qi asked casually.

"Don't you know? The Lingxiao Flower Goddess, who has been away from Chang'an for hundreds of years, is back. He also held a cultural gathering. It is said that Mr. Liu Donghe's new works will be on display. Many students who practice Confucianism are going to have a look. By the way, Look at the excitement.”

"After all, I heard that a lot of people were dispatched from the Hanlin Academy, saying that they wanted to drive the shameless Flower God Lingxiao out of Chang'an. To this end, they came to Taixue to attract a lot of people. I hope everyone can come and take a look."

"However, since classmate Li Qi has something to do, I can't invite you. Let's go together again when we have the opportunity." Lord Bian said with some regret.

He also wanted to take this opportunity to invite Li Qi out and make some friends.

After all, in the eyes of King Yan, the answer Li Qi wanted was nothing. Li Qi didn't even ask King Yan what answer he wanted. He just took a look at his own body, and King Yan didn't explain anything.

But I actually received his specially customized superior method to control the dissipation of body power, for which I definitely need to be grateful.

Moreover, this Li Qi is indeed a capable person, and it would be beneficial to make friends with him.

Hearing this, Li Qi smiled and said, "What a coincidence. My plan for tomorrow is to go to this cultural gathering!"

Lord Bane controlled the fluctuations of the sea: "How could such a thing happen? Let's make an appointment. Let's go and see it together tomorrow."

"It's easy to talk about." Li Qi nodded.

"Okay, then I will make a suitable physical body now. We will meet at the venue tomorrow. This is a rare grand event. Not to mention the return of the Lingxiao Flower God, the handwriting of the third-grade almighty is worth reading." Lord Yin said. .

Li Qi nodded, and the two exchanged a few words.

Immediately, Li Qi left and returned to the cafeteria.

The Bohai Pot was still here. Li Qi stepped forward to apologize, then wrote down his thoughts after eating today, and then left, embarking on the journey home.

On the way, he continued to be lost in thought.

Anyway, this is Chang'an, so you don't have to worry about public security issues. You can devote yourself to it. As long as you don't go the wrong way, you don't have to worry about someone stealing or robbing in Chang'an.

He was a little anxious.

He had to be anxious, the answer was right in front of him, but he couldn't reach it!

With Lord Bane's inspiration, he felt that he had taken a big step forward. Many of his previous doubts had been answered, as if he had vaguely seen the answer.

Time, time, I really hope I can give him a spiritual time room so that he can quietly retreat for a hundred years.

However, here Li Qi was thinking alone, and went home according to the rules like a robot, but behind him, there was a person following him carelessly, with no intention of stalking him at all.

If you look closely, you will see that it is fish algae.
