Myriad Paths

Zhou Fang is crazy.

Looking at his entire history, his life must have been thrilling and lingering, but in the history of this universe, Zhou Fang's history is so insignificant, boring, and dispensable, just a brief moment.

It's like a certain civilization has disappeared, but other civilizations continue to exist. A disaster came here, and a new planet was born in the star there. I don't know where there is a new catastrophe, and then there is a new life in other places. After all, spring goes and autumn comes, everything is the same as before.

But Zhou Fang is not dead yet.

He is just crazy.

Too much will, too much life, and the madness under the influence of fate, the guilt of killing his wife, and even that 'Yao Ji', all split his personality unconsciously.

That 'Yao Ji' is himself, his evil thoughts.

The real Yao Ji would never do such a thing. Yao Ji doesn't care about mortals at all.

In the end, he chose a straightforward path.

Become a demon.

The end of madness is to be possessed by a demon. As long as the world is wrong, then you are not wrong.

You are not wrong... You can be comforted by everything, and all the pain no longer exists.

Zhou Fang was possessed by a demon at this moment.

At the moment when Zhou Fang was possessed by a demon, the demonic thoughts around him became fierce.

‘Yao Ji’ appeared behind Zhou Fang again, and then, she transformed into the appearance of a secondary demon.

The secondary demon and the demon look very similar. They are both pure black spheres, which can reflect everyone’s appearance and heart. However, the difference is that you can tell that the demon is a demon at first glance. His body itself carries information, while the secondary demon is just a sphere.

However, in the same way, both can change at will, and this change is an essential change, and it is almost impossible to find the difference between them and the original owner.

The secondary demon hugged Zhou Fang in the form of his wife from behind: "So... there is only one way to prove that you are not Li Qi."

"Li Qi will not do anything to those people. Only you will do that, right?"

Zhou Fang glanced at the secondary demon: "Although you are instigating me, I have to say that you are right, and... fate binds me, and also binds Li Qi."

Zhou Fang came out of the room and walked towards the boundless universe.

He stepped into the fast universe, and there seemed to be circles of silver mist spinning around him.

He was unaware, but he just felt that in front of him, a black, inclined metal uphill road was vaguely visible.

This black uphill road was only visible to him.

In the eyes of outsiders, he was just walking on the gray wasteland outside the base, just like taking a walk.

However, even in such a walk, he staggered with every step.

He began to walk forward along this uphill road that only he could see, and the soles of his shoes stepped on the gray sand on the ground, and a faint creaking sound came, which seemed so far away.

He walked slowly forward, continuing to move forward at the edge of the base.

Silent shadows surrounded him, and the outline of the steel building loomed like a ghost.

Clusters of diffuse lights passed by him, like isolated islands. Under the light, the darkness in front seemed even more gloomy.

The ground gradually tilted upward, the angle became larger and larger, and he walked more and more difficultly. More and more stones appeared on the ground, each of which was bulging upward and in different shapes.

To others, he was still walking on flat ground, but his steps became more and more difficult, just like climbing a mountain.

Finally, he even lay on the ground and began to crawl.

In Zhou Fang's own opinion, it was just that the high metal wall in front of him was getting steeper and taller, so that it turned from a slope into a vertical wall.

So he began to climb the mountain, climbing this wall that others could not see with difficulty.

As Zhou Fang climbed, he gradually entered a trance.

Past life fragments flashed before his eyes.

In the civilization where he was born at the beginning, a little boy was reading a book in the bedroom upstairs.

In the narrow alley of his hometown, a young man ran happily every morning.

Then he embarked on the path of cultivation and discovered his own extraordinaryness.

Witnessing the viciousness of the gods and Yao Ji, he chose the path of destroying the gods.

Along the way, in his life, Zhou Fang never stopped, always rushing forward, always in endless changes.

Which one is real, the past or the future?

Every time he arrived at a new world, Zhou Fang could always see another new world waving at him in the distance.

So, on this high wall, Zhou Fang saw that strange faces began to surround him -

Oh, not strange, they are all other "fragments".

These fragments appeared on this high wall...

No, they are the high wall itself, countless fragments, their corpses make up this high wall, Zhou Fang crawled on their corpses, constantly going up.

These faces were like blurry shadows approaching him in the mist. They had all existed for a period of time and were real people with flesh and blood; but they would soon be obscured by the past and disappear like a passing cloud, as if they had never existed.

The little girl called ‘Restart’, his wife, every fragment he had killed, the killings he had committed in order to seal the evil god, he destroyed them all, thinking that this would seal the evil god.

But at this moment, Zhou Fang suddenly realized something.

It was not the evil god that was sealed.

But himself.

Now, they have long disappeared, and the high wall they formed blocked Zhou Fang’s way. If Zhou Fang does not climb up this high wall, he will never be able to walk out and do what he wants to do.

It’s really... stupid.

He realized this after he became possessed.

But he was afraid again.

In front of him, he climbed in front of a corpse. The corpse looked like his wife. She had joined the ranks of the predecessors so quickly and disappeared from his life forever.

So... behind the veil of time, in the unknown world ahead, on the high wall, what kind of stranger would suddenly appear in front of him?

Zhou Fang’s heart began to tremble.

He kept climbing like this, and soon, the thick fog around the high wall became brighter.

Zhou Fang kept climbing, and the high wall began to turn into a flat road again. He suddenly found that he could see farther.

The high wall in front of him began to tilt and become flat. His posture slowly changed from "climbing up" to walking up a gentle slope, stepping on the corpses and moving forward.

From the outside, it seemed that he slowly stood up and started walking again. Although he was still staggering and still on the uphill road, at least he stood up.

Finally, he came to the other side of the high wall.

The ground here is very smooth, without a single stone.

There was mist evenly distributed in all directions, and there was light in the mist, as if there was an exit behind the mist.

It was like a dark cave, and finally reached the entrance, where there was beautiful sunshine and fresh air.

So Zhou Fang continued to walk up. With every step he took, his vision became wider, the brightness of the thick fog around him decreased, and the light gradually gathered into a brighter and brighter spot above him.

Suddenly, he found himself out of the thick fog, and only then could he see clearly that he was at the top of the high wall.

He finally climbed to the end, to the top.

Finally, even the last ray of white light disappeared.

On the top of the mountain, the night sky was as clear as crystal.

Here, a huge statue was hanging above his head.

All the scenery Zhou Fang had seen in his life could not compare with the magnificent scene before his eyes.

The light of the statue illuminated the night sky. On its surface, the brilliant colors of the rainbow intertwined and merged into colorful light bands, one layer covering another, layer by layer, spreading outward along a regular pattern.

Near the edge of these lights, the various colors gradually faded and then merged into a hazy pink circle.

This pink circle surrounded the Dharma itself, gradually turning into purple, then purple-red, and finally forming a clear and obvious outline at the edge, drawing a huge disk on the night sky.

Eternal, indestructible, eternal... It is not an exaggeration to use any beautiful adjective to describe it.

The most powerful god appeared so easily in front of Zhou Fang, a small, humble, insignificant, and ephemeral pilgrim.

Zhou Fang spent his whole life, sacrificed everything he had, and finally came to the statue.

He spent endless time looking for this evil god, and finally it appeared in front of him in this form.

He had seen the face of the statue.

It was called... Li Qi.

Zhou Fang's lifelong troubles, the object that Zhou Fang's all efforts were aimed at, Zhou Fang's nemesis, the reason for his birth, and it could even be said that this was him.

Zhou Fang stood in front of Li Qi, he didn't even know how many seconds, minutes or hours had passed, his reason could no longer judge.

In this eternal moment, the world was silent, and Zhou Fang was completely lost in the splendor of the statue.

Although, in the eyes of outsiders, he was just standing in a wild land, looking up at something, there was clearly nothing, but Zhou Fang himself looked extremely solemn.

At this moment, Zhou Fang's mind became clearer than ever before.

Zhou Fang watched the huge statue in the air slowly absorb the high wall of debris around it.

Such a spectacular scene seemed to unfold slowly like slow motion, which seemed a bit weird.

But no matter how weird it was, it was actually unquestionable, because the statue was simply a gluttonous evil ghost, greedily devouring all the debris around it.

Seeing this scene, at this moment, the answer he had been searching for suddenly appeared in his mind, but he didn't know where it came from.

So Zhou Fang was furious at the evil god...!

He charged and rushed towards the evil god.

He wanted to kill the evil god!

This is the source of all misfortunes, the root of all destinies, the center of countless disputes, and the mourning of all fragments is because of him!

The culprit!

Under the gaze of the secondary demon behind him, Zhou Fang rushed towards the evil god.

Then, he passed through the evil god.

With a whoosh, the world was blown out.

All the surrounding scenes disappeared, leaving Zhou Fang alone, standing on the desolate gray sand plain of this planet.

However, Zhou Fang's rage could not be dissipated.

That 'Yao Ji' was right.

He must, must, must cut off the connection with Li Qi.

Having collected all the fragments, he must connect all the fragments.

Then, let's start by destroying all the relationships of Li Qi.

"This is specific information. You need it, right?" The Secondary Heavenly Demon said so, handing Zhou Fang a book.

It contains the things about Laqi, Yao Ji, Shen Shuibi, and so on.

Zhou Fang read it carefully. He understood and remembered everything clearly.

He knew that this was his chance of winning.

After remembering everything, he destroyed the book and set out on the road.

Looking at Zhou Fang's back, the fourth-grade Secondary Heavenly Demon smiled.

What is the most powerful thing about the devil's thoughts?

It's not that you realize the existence of the devil's thoughts, but that this so-called devil's thoughts are your own will.

The devil's thoughts did not force you, did not deceive, and did not force you.

What the devil's thoughts did was just to make you "aware".

Some things, once you realize them, are hard to give up. You will do many things voluntarily. Those things are your real "attachment".

Or you can learn Buddhism, let go of attachments, and naturally you will not be affected by "voluntary".

But many times, you deliberately give up "voluntary", which is also a devilish thought, isn't it?

Your wife and daughter are just outside the door, waiting for you to rescue them.

You have become a monk, and you think that saving them means giving up your hard practice, so you bear the pain and don't look at them, thinking that you are "letting go of worldly obsessions".

In fact, maybe your devilish thoughts are even more serious. Although your wife and daughter died, you have not let go of your obsessions.

It is really difficult to choose. It seems that no matter what you choose, you will eventually fall into the devil's obsession.

The wife and daughter seem a bit extreme. It seems easy to deal with, but what if you replace your wife and daughter with something else?

For example, the sword in the hand of a swordsman, do you want to have a sword in your hand or not? Or if it is a position in the secular world, should you continue to work or resign?

The so-called "enemy of Taoism" is like this.

Zhou Fang has finally chosen "voluntary", and now, he is going to kill the source of his suffering.

He wants to prove that he is not Li Qi, and doing things that Li Qi would never do is the way to prove it.

Zhou Fang certainly knows that he is being used as a gun.

But so what? They are just using each other.

He must cut off the connection with Li Qi, he must...

Thinking of this, Zhou Fang quickly shuttled through the universe, and in less than a while, he appeared in the world, where Xuanjing Mountain is.

In Xuanjing Mountain, Shen Shuibi still has short hair, and she is sitting in a daze.

But at this moment, she felt the breath of Li Qi.

And it's not Laqi!

It's the last two days of the month, please give me a ticket
