Myriad Paths

Shen Shuibi and Laqi looked at all this and looked at each other.

"Master, please go heal your wounds while I go find Master."

"I'll go together." Shen Shuibi said.

"We can't go together. Even if you want to go, don't come with me. I'm worried that there will be another dilemma." Lucky refused. At the same time, he regained some strength, which allowed him to continue folding, so his The injury healed in less than a minute.

This is Lucky's self-healing ability. It only takes one minute for him to heal all wounds on his body. The battle with Lucky must be continuous, otherwise you will face an undead monster.

Of course, just now, Lucky was almost exhausted to death, so there was actually nothing he could do.

Shen Shuibi nodded, she understood what Lucky meant.

So the two of them separated without any nonsense.

Shen Shuibi wants to find Empress Luofu.

And Laqi will go to Zhu Fengdan.

The two of them split up.

On the other side, the Demon Prince carried the crazy Zhou Fang and walked all the way.

Originally, according to the power of the third level, it only took a moment to appear anywhere. However, it seemed that the destination was a bit special, so the Demon Prince had to hurry on his way.

The place he wants to go cannot be reached by ordinary 'advance'.

On the road, Zhou Fang howled.

The Demon Prince glanced at Zhou Fang.

The current Li Qi is so similar to himself who was controlled by the retribution of black karma.

What a disgrace.

He carried Zhou Fang forward, and after a while, after passing through the stars, he came to the center of the universe.

The universe actually has no center, but the stars do, and the center of the stars is the center of the universe from the perspective of ordinary beings.

This is... Ziwei Heavenly Court.

Here, there is an ‘Emperor Star’.

Tai Di, the Lord of Star Officials ‘Tai Yi’ is here.

That's right, although Tiandi Haotian is said to be the master of the gods, in fact Ziwei Emperor Xing is the actual leader of Ziwei Tianting. In other words, the person doing the work is actually Taiyi, not Haotian.

The Demon Prince came here to visit.

Pass through the Tianmen, ascend the Heavenly Ladder, pass through Yaochi and Changyuan.

Soon, he came to 'Ziwei'.

He met many gods and star officials on the road, but none of them chose to stop him. Instead, they allowed the Demon Prince to walk in and turned a blind eye.

This journey is between the stars, so there is nothing all around. The bodies of the star officials are so huge that even if you just pass by them, the distance can be measured in light years.

Here, he saw Taiyi, and Taiyi saw him.

Taiyi's figure is different from Haotian.

In other words...it is difficult to describe what kind of existence Taiyi is. His body has no form at all.

Taken as a whole, Taiyi's body... is a collection of almost all the stars.

Yes, all stars, including all starry skies, and even all star officials.

It sounds very mysterious. In terms of material composition, Taiyi can be said to have no components. In other words, all its components belong to others.

For example...the four phases are components of Taiyi, and the four phases are internally composed of the twenty-eight constellations, and the twenty-eight constellations also have their own compositions.

Four phases, five sense organs, six mansions, six armors, twenty-eight constellations, Ziwei Dou Shu thirty-six stars, Taibai, Yinghuo, Suixing, Zhenxing, Bafeng, Zi Palace, Taiwei, Xuanyuan, Xianchi, Sishou, Tian Ah.

All these star officials are ‘Tai Yi’.

But all their star officials are not Taiyi.

In other words, star officials are both independent and part of Taiyi.

This is not to say that the Four Phases or other star officials do not exist, or that they are some kind of puppets. This idea is wrong. It should be said that the other star officials are his thinking organs, but they are also different from each other. independent.

Perhaps you can vaguely feel the existence of those materials and some other connections.

The more complete the integrity of each one, the stronger the structural organization. Those ordinary stars are like atoms in the nebula. Compared to the volume of the nebula, the distance between each atom is like a star. The distance between them is just loosely wrapped together.

Each nebula is like a huge, weak radiation pool, and the radiation emitted is transmitted in waves, penetrating everywhere, and passing from one atom to another.

This is actually easy to understand.

Gods like Xingguan are super giant beings composed of countless worlds and planets. The veins in the universe are their thinking organs, and all living beings are their thinking units.

Countless planets, worlds, and all the creatures in them, including the primitive natural environment, etc., these thoughts added together are a star official, and even many of them, the incarnations of natural phenomena, also have personalities.

But none of these beings, these earthly beings who are the incarnations of natural phenomena, feel that they are star officials, and star officials do not feel that they are themselves.

Then, Taiyi, as the master of all star officials, naturally does the same.

It's like, there are many people on a certain planet. Everyone is independent and has his own will and thoughts, but this does not prevent this planet from having a collective planetary consciousness.

It's like each of your brain cells and each nervous system can actually act independently. These nerve cells have the ability to think independently, but each brain cell is not you.

Taiyi hangs high above all star officials and is their ultimate. They are fragments of Taiyi, but they are also theirs.

But each fragment retains the memory of the original individual spirit. The One runs through the time and space of the entire universe. Every aspect of each fragment reflects other fragments. In a sense, the One does not exist, or... He is present everywhere.

This is the One, the Second One in the universe, a ‘whole’ that is difficult to describe, almost indescribable.

And here is the solution to the ‘fragments’.

The Demon Prince came to this place, threw Li Qi down, and said to Taiyi: "Then...as we agreed, I will bring Li Qi here."

Taiyi didn't speak because he didn't need to speak.

In a sense, the Demon Prince is also a part of Taiyi. When the Demon Prince speaks, he has already received an answer from Taiyi.

Yes, if I have to say it...every existence in the universe is a part of Taiyi, including other first-level ones, just like other first-level ones also have demonic thoughts.

But they are not Taiyi, and Taiyi is not them.

Each tiny organism, each individual, constitutes the intelligence of a planet-level star officer.

The intelligence of planet-level star officials constitutes the intelligence of stellar-level star officials.

Then the star officials at the stellar level gather together to form the intelligence of the star officials at the river system level.

With the participation of many individuals, the intelligence at the river system level has become richer and awakened. With a higher level of insight, it has seen the history of the entire river system and the various states of all living beings.

The intelligence of the entire galaxy sees itself in constant conflict throughout its life, with endless sorrow and danger of premature death, because the internal war between galaxies is so fierce, but this is not his own war.

Moreover, the river system level intelligent star officer is also part of the galaxy cluster level intelligent star officer.

They are together but separate from each other, with completely independent minds but inseparable.

Stacked up layer by layer in this way, eventually all the intelligence in the universe will be stacked together to become the One.

If you don’t understand the secrets, you may think that Ziweixing is the body of Taiyi. However, in fact, there is no such thing as Taiyi’s body.

Even the current Li Qi... is also a part of Taiyi.

Taiyi swallowed Li Qi into the Ziwei Star.

The Demon Prince watched all this and waited quietly.

————————

'Li Qi' felt particularly huge confusion at this moment.

Is he 'Li Qi'? Maybe not.

Because 'Li Qi' is just a code name, anyone can be called Li Qi.

So, is he the unique point of cause and effect?

It seems not.

So, regarding ‘self’, is his understanding of ‘Li Qi’?

It doesn't seem like it, he has a lot of ideas that conflict with each other, and none of them are necessarily his.

No, these thoughts were not his in the first place.

There is no concept of ‘I’ at all, because there are too many ‘I’s’ in his body.

Each ‘I’ feels independent, each ‘I’ seems to be trying to snatch ‘dominance’, as if dominance is important.

What is dominance?

Is it ‘self-awareness’? But self-awareness cannot be said to be a lie, but it is definitely very unreliable.

But what if there is no self-awareness?

If a life has no self-awareness but can still take action, it is a philosophical zombie, so what is the use of self?

Perhaps the self itself is meaningless.

There is no need to pursue yourself.

Does Taiyi have a self?

At this moment, the huge chaotic structure named 'Li Qi' was vaguely trying to remember what happened.

Many, countless personalities and self-perceptions have caused a strange and chaotic impact on this huge chaotic structure named 'Li Qi'.

Can a person imagine what he sees with a thousand eyes?

If not, can an independent ‘self-awareness’ imagine the state of sharing the same thinking organ with countless other self-awarenesses at the same time?

This is what happened at this moment, in the mind of the chaotic construct named 'Li Qi', it was reflected strangely in his shocked mind. It was an echo, a crazy dream, rough, twisted, and almost impossible. Use words to describe it.

crazy.

According to a living body with only one consciousness, this state is called "madness".

This is even more complete than split personality. Split personality also has a subject cognition, but now this hybrid structure does not even have a subject.

What is the subject? Is it necessary to have a subject?

However, Li Qi seemed to be outnumbered in front of another hybrid structure called "Tai Yi".

What is a split personality for Taiyi? These are their own components.

His body originally contained endless and diverse groups.

In the eyes of the One, self-consciousness itself is completely without beginning or end.

For Taiyi, he understands all life, but has no mercy and offers no salvation.

He simply experiences the fragmentation of those parts of himself, their loves, their senses, their self-antagonisms, their resistances, their everything.

The One, the eternal spiritual body, also experienced everything they experienced.

Completely understand, see through everything, but just quietly experience, all of this is analyzed and evaluated one by one, after all, these are actually part of Taiyi.

All life is his component, everything happens in his body.

Contains everything, and looks at the endless and diverse groups contained in him without beginning or end.

These groups themselves are individuals.

Individual life forms group life, and group life can form a larger group life, but they are independent of each other, and finally form Taiyi, and Taiyi is independent of them.

It is really an extremely subtle state.

The huge hybrid structure named "Taiyi" swallowed the huge hybrid structure named "Li Qi" into Ziwei Star.

Time passed little by little.

"Taiyi" and "Li Qi" seemed to be communicating, but they seemed to do nothing.

It should be said... that is, they did nothing.

But, for communication, do you need to speak actively?

Those creatures in Taiyi have never communicated with Taiyi, but they are communicating with Taiyi all the time.

So, there is no need for communication, right?

The two hybrid structures were mixed again at this moment.

Time passed quickly.

Zhou Fang died, and all the fragments died with him, and in all the deaths, new life came.

Finally...

'Li Qi' woke up.

"Thank you." Li Qi in front of him said to Taiyi.

He is Li Qi.

Or... from a group of multi-celled fetuses named 'Li Qi', a higher-level Li Qi was born and awakened.

How to describe it?

An embryo, there are many cells inside him, many, many.

Then, all the cells and fragments of this embryo act according to their own will.

Each cell has its own ideas.

Then, with the cooperation of these cells, a 'baby' was born.

This baby has its own mind.

The cells are still submissive, and the 'baby' itself has a 'mind' and 'personality'.

Can you say that the cells are not independent? In fact, each cell is a single-celled organism, and they can act on their own.

Each 'fragment' is like this.

But when they are combined, they are a 'baby'.

The existence named 'Li Qi' at this moment is this baby. All the previous experiences, everything, are just a part of this baby.

"No, you woke up by yourself." Taiyi replied: "Welcome to join us. Although you are not a star official, our life forms are almost the same."
