Myriad Paths

Li Qi was suddenly stopped by Jing Wuzhen's words.

If the world is nothingness, then there is no need to change at all, because when you want to change, you can change it at any time. This is true for yourself, and even more so for Yipin.

So, what is this war about?

If everything is false, what is the meaning of action?

He was lost in thought.

Jing Wuzhen immediately shut up.

She discovered that Li Qi in front of her had fallen into a state of 'enlightenment' again. Her words seemed to have inspired the other person and made him start to think deeply.

This made Jing Wuzhen couldn't help but smile bitterly.

In the past ten years, she would see Li Qi in this state almost every few months, and every time he pondered, he would bring corresponding new breakthroughs.

This is true regardless of whether it is in terms of magic, ethics, or cultivation.

It's really scary. For such people, practicing is just like...

I don’t know what it is like. Jing Wuzhen can’t find any adjectives. I can only say... A direct genius from the Dao Tradition is really scary. Even Jing Wuzhen herself is somewhat famous in the martial arts, but she found that her cultivation Compared with Li Qi's speed, it was just a crawl.

With this progress, it seems that the third grade is also ‘at your fingertips’.

It is really hard to imagine that that is the third level. In the Great Dao Tradition, it can be regarded as the decision-making level, a great being that can truly decide the fate of the universe.

Even in the world, it is the absolute top level, a terrifying power that can judge all living beings, a mysterious power that transcends cause and effect and the world, and hovers above the world.

This kind of existence is very important everywhere, but in front of such a top talent, it can be described as 'at your fingertips'.

This is what is called 'predestined high-ranking existence' outside, similar to the Demon Prince, the Little Heavenly Master, and Li Qi. The moment these people were born, they were destined to reach that position.

It is obvious that ordinary people only have one epiphany in their lifetime, which can change their life and completely change their whole person. It usually occurs in those who have experienced many things and experienced countless setbacks and hardships in life. Changes at the level of "great enlightenment" often occur. Show it in the other person.

This talent gap is really too big. Although Li Qi has been saying that his talent is not very good, only his understanding is good, but Jing Wuzhen only thinks that this is the 'genius' self-effacement'.

Thinking of this, Jing Wuzhen could only shake his head and continue to do his own thing.

After a while, Li Qi would wake up on his own, and then continue his usual daily activities as if nothing had happened.

And on Li Qi's side——

Because of Jing Wuzhen's words, Li Qi suddenly discovered that he still had a habitual thinking about everything in the world, that is, he habitually believed that all existences possess "reality" and that they should all possess it. A level of existence equal to one's own.

But it's actually not true.

This is a kind of barrier of knowledge. Li Qiming clearly knows that their existence is nothingness and can be erased at will, but he still subconsciously talks to the other party as an existence that 'will not be erased'.

But breaking this kind of thinking inertia and standing on this premise, Li Qi can see that in fact, everything he does is meaningless. There is no need to touch or take care of Li Shiwei's affairs. Anyway, as long as he waits for Li Qi's third grade, as long as As soon as she thought about it, she would immediately return to the lively and lovely daughter she was when she was seventeen years old, who had just left home and was full of curiosity about the world, instead of the lonely and gloomy demonic practitioner she is now.

This isn’t even a change, it can only be described as a ‘rollback’.

For existences without reality, this kind of thing even happens all the time. Every time the universe adjusts, the third-level reshaping of the light cone, especially during the current war, has been modified countless times.

This is a constant SL war, so... this reality has been changed countless times. What does it matter if Li Qi changes it again?

My daughter became a demon, so what?

With a gentle wave of her hand, she would turn back into the cute and well-behaved daughter. This was not brainwashing or self-deception, but the other party had indeed returned to the past. For her, she had not changed at all.

If Li Qi rejects this kind of thing, he should also reject his own existence, because Li Qi himself has been recalled countless times.

But Li Qi knew that he didn't think this should be eliminated. He even often used his third-grade traits to 'choose the future' and reopen the world line to gain an advantage in battle. Or get the results you want in life.

For Li Qi's "choosing the future", a random result is like drawing a card. The probability of drawing SSR is very low, but as long as this probability is not zero, he can easily choose the future of "drawing".

For others, Li Qi could win every time, and the probability was meaningless to him.

But from Li Qi's subjective perspective, he actually drew many times, but he just erased those 'futures' that couldn't draw cards.

The final result was that he could win every time, but it seemed to Li Qi that this was not the case. He could just draw again as he liked.

So, what's the difference?

The difference is just one's own perception.

If you don't want to, and if you want to.

Thinking of this, Li Qi discovered in horror——

Once the nihility of this world is discovered, then the path to magic seems to be logical.

Li Qi seemed to be able to understand why the demon was so hip and why he was so indifferent.

Because...it doesn't matter in the first place.

All sacrifices are ignored.

Any price is a joke.

Everything you do has no consequences.

Everything in this world is inherently false, everything is one's own subjective perception, and all that one seeks is peace of mind based on one's own subjective perception.

Objective...what exactly is it?

Is there really an 'objective' existence in this world?

Li Qi once got an answer. He had such doubts, and he finally solved them. His answer was: "Those who look at the scenery often see the scenery in other people's eyes."

In other words, one's own subjectivity is objective in the eyes of others, and at the same time, what is subjective in the eyes of others is also objective to oneself. (See Chapter 721 for details)

By recognizing the subjectivity of others, the existence of ‘objectivity’ is confirmed, thereby ensuring the stability of other things.

But now, he suddenly discovered that when it comes to other things that have no reality, their "subjectivity" is actually very nihilistic, because the "subjectivity" of these people is heavily dependent on Li Qi's "subjectivity".

In other words, even without brainwashing, Li Qi can easily change their understanding of the world, so much so that their so-called 'subjectivity' itself depends on Li Qi for its existence.

In a sense, they and Li Qi are not on the same narrative level at all.

For existences without reality, Li Qi is the ‘high-level narrator’.

Reality refers to the nature of matter, or the objective world, which does not depend on any subjective will and exists independently of the observer's knowledge.

All observers' perception and understanding of matter belong to the subjective category. Observers cannot observe things beyond their own subjective will, so naturally it is impossible to talk about what is objective.

The observer itself can only be subjective. Any objective description we have must go through our cognition and our measurement. If the measurement itself is not objective, objectivity will not be established. If it cannot be measured and verified, what kind of cognition is natural? No way

Talked about.

In other words, reality is essentially relative. No matter what angle you look at, you cannot avoid subject cognition and interaction, and reality can only be discussed from this angle.

We cannot escape the fact that we are cognitive subjects and cannot rule out the influence of cognitive abilities and measurement tools.

If this is the case, then what is reality?

There is no other conclusion other than being able to determine that oneself is real.

But are you really so sure?

Wupin thinks he is real, but Li Qi knows that he is not. Li Qi even knows that time and space are not real, and time does not actually exist.

The empirical reality of time, that is, the objective validity with respect to all objects that can be given to our senses at any time.

And since our intuition is perceptual at all times, there can never be an object given to us in experience that is not subject to the conditions of time.

On the contrary, we reject all claims of time to absolute reality, since this reality absolutely adheres to things as a condition or attribute, regardless of the form of our sensible intuitions.

Such properties belonging to things themselves can never be given to us through the senses.

Therefore, this is the transcendental ideality of time. According to this ideality, if one takes away the subjective conditions of perceptual intuition, time is nothing at all, and cannot be attributed to it neither self-existently nor dependently. The object itself.

And how can Li Qi himself judge whether he is real?

Subjective, objective, cannot be verified, cannot be judged.

And all of these have a common ‘solution’.

That is...the magic way.

You don’t need to consider those things. You just need to acknowledge your own reality and admit that your own subjectivity is absolute. Then you don’t need to consider those things.

This answer made Li Qi suddenly wake up and wake up from the state of enlightenment.

Before he knew it, he was sweating profusely.

He waved his hand gently, attracting a breeze to clean his body, and then he found a place to sit down.

Unconsciously, he started to get closer to the devil again.

It's terrible.

The more I think about it, the more I realize how terrifying the devil is. It seems that when it comes to these things, you have to move closer to the devil, because... except for the devil, it is difficult to have such a concise and clear explanation.

The more I think about it, the closer I get to the path of magic.

Moreover, Li Qi couldn't find a way to refute, so he decisively interrupted his 'epiphany'. Although this may be something that others would be hard-pressed to obtain in their lifetime, he still gave up without hesitation.

"The devil's way, the devil's way...it's the devil's way again." Li Qilian said the devil's way three times, but he felt a huge headache.

The magic way has really had a profound impact on him.

From the beginning of his practice, I'm afraid he has been... No, it should be said that his practice may have been guided by the devil. Even if he really knows the rhyme, it may be the devil's Taoist rhyme.

But in fact, Li Qi also knew that the demon might not be able to see through him.

This is also the confidence that Li Qi can face the demon.

It is easy to understand. If the demon can see through Li Qi, it means that Li Qi is no longer attractive to him. It is impossible for an ordinary person, even a genius, to attract such a warm gaze and such high-intensity interference from the demon.

In other words, as long as the devil still has such an unusually persistent attitude toward Li Qi, it means that he will still be unable to see through Li Qi.

Now that he has this bargaining chip, Li Qi naturally has no gambling capital. With the gambling capital in hand and sitting at the same gambling table with the demon, all he has to do is not to lose himself.

But based on current understanding, once one becomes possessed by a demon, he might directly become a demon clone.

"Alas." Li Qi sighed.

How can we not export ourselves?

Do you stick to yourself?

Just kidding, if it were so simple, why would so many geniuses become obsessed with it? The demonic way still exists despite all kinds of suppression, and even the disciple of the great witch Yunfang, the Master of Wushen Mountain and Li Qi's senior brother, has become possessed by the demon.

Becoming a demon is not a question of whether you think about it or not. Li Qi can deceive everyone else in the world, but he can't deceive himself. No one can deceive himself.

You can't lie to yourself, so when you believe in magic, it's not a matter of whether you want it or not.

Li Qi knew that he was in this state now.

The idea of ​​the devil invaded again, blurring his previous view of the unity of subjectivity and objectivity, making Li Qi take another step closer to the devil.

Li Qi could only lament that his wisdom and knowledge were not enough.

Life is like walking in a dark wilderness, with only a ray of light around you. But with this ray of light, all the darkness around you becomes light, and people can move forward bravely.

Wherever you go, light follows you, and the surrounding darkness is dispelled.

This light is ‘Tao’, ‘knowledge’, and ‘wisdom’. In the vast darkness of the universe, only ‘Tao light’ can illuminate everything.

And this ray of light is available to everyone, so everyone can have light. But no one can dispel all the darkness in this great wilderness.

But people always want to disperse more of the surrounding darkness, so instead of seeking light within themselves, they turn to the outside to seek light. (See Chapter 521 for details)

Li Qi felt that he could not solve this problem for the time being by relying solely on his own thinking.

Then, we can only seek it from outside.

Or you can say... look within.

Because, in Li Qi's inner world at this moment, there is a demon king sealed inside.

"Let the wisdom of another fourth-grade person enlighten me." Li Qi thought so, and his mind sank into the inner world.
