Chapter 301: Current Situation Outside the Territory
In the Holy Flame Realm, Shen Shuibi is making books.
She is following Li Qi's instructions to guide the child of destiny.
Although the name is very strange, it is called Gaga.
It's quite unpleasant.
He used to be called Bai Gaga, but now he has abandoned the surname given by the immortals and restored his name as a member of the Holy Flame Clan.
Shen Shuibi has been paying attention to the progress of this child of destiny these days.
Now he has gathered a group of young people from the Holy Flame Clan who have the same purpose as himself. He occupies the mountain as the king, is maintaining the order of the three small towns, and gradually establishes his own order.
However, now he always feels a little inadequate.
According to the nine-grade classification method of the world, he is at the level of no entry.
This strength is really too far away. Even at this moment, the Holy Flame Realm, where many heroes have emerged, is really weak and pitiful. It can only be said that it has barely escaped the ranks of the weak.
Therefore, Shen Shuibi arranged to make the other party stronger.
Gaga practices martial arts, and Shen Shuibi plans to let him pick up a secret book during an expedition.
As for the secret book content...
It is still in the making. When the time comes, I will make it look old and make it look like an ancient inheritance, and then I can throw it out to him.
It will be finished soon.
However, just at this time, a message popped up on Shen Shuibi's terminal.
She was startled, put down her work in a hurry, and took out the terminal.
After a few operations, the message on the terminal disappeared.
She hung up.
Tuzi was sweating anxiously and called again in a hurry.
She had just been in contact with the terminal for a few days and had not had time to operate it proficiently.
The main thing is that this thing is not controlled by magic, but by touching the projection formed by the illusion.
If it is controlled by magic, Tuzi will learn it at a glance, but it is the thing that makes her more distressed to remember the touch gestures.
As for the other side, Li Qi looked at the terminal in confusion.
Ah? Yu'er hung herself?
Is she taking a bath?
No, her pure body should be restored. Compared with her body, except for distilled water, it is all pollutants. It is cleaner than water. There is no need to take a bath.
But he called again soon.
Li Qi answered immediately.
On the other end of the terminal was Shen Shuibi, who was in a panic.
"What...what's going on? Is it connected? Can you see me? Li Qi, Li Qi?" Shen Shuibi tapped the camera with an uneasy look on her face, as if it was useful.
"I can see it, don't take random photos, that's magnification." Li Qi hurriedly stopped her.
If you zoom in further, you won't be able to see her face.
"Oh, oh...Li Qi, have you finished the exam? How's the score?" Shen Shuibi pinched her fingers with one hand and used magic to calm her mood, and she regained her calm almost instantly.
Superficial calm.
"The results haven't come out yet, but...it should be okay." Li Qi didn't know how to judge his results.
The written test results should be good.
Actual test...
The Three Lives Ancient Mirror exploded, and his examiner died. Is this considered a good or bad test?
Let's wait for the Tang Kingdom to slowly consider it.
"It's OK. You should have no problem with the Imperial College exam. By the way, why did you suddenly ask me to do this? Are you free to come back? Do you want me to pick you up at Dousuliu?" Rabbit asked immediately.
Li Qi himself couldn't go to the Holy Flame Realm from Dousuliu, after all, he didn't have the ability to travel outside the domain.
No, it can't be said that there is no time, but if he wants to fly from Dousuliu to the Holy Flame Realm at his speed, it will take about hundreds of years.
In comparison, Shen Shuibi only needs three days.
Li Qi is still far from being able to explore outside the domain. If he wants to go to the Holy Flame Realm, Shen Shuibi must come to pick him up.
"No need. I can't come for the next two months. I need to study hard in the Imperial College and consolidate my cultivation." Li Qi said.
"Consolidate my cultivation?" Rabbit tilted her head, a little confused.
However, she reacted immediately, widened her eyes, and moved forward: "You... you are the seventh rank?"
"Well, I encountered something... I don't know if it is an opportunity or a dangerous thing." Li Qi nodded and said with a wry smile.
This is not Versailles, but a real worry.
He is really scared.
"Tell me, how could it be... How long have you been in the eighth rank? How is it possible? What happened?" Shen Shuibi's face was full of surprise and confusion.
Impossible, something is wrong.
From the eighth rank to the seventh rank in a few months.
Is this reasonable?
Shen Shuibi had never heard of such a thing.
Although she was born as the seventh rank and was immortal, it was because she was a spirit bred by a second-rank magic weapon.
Li Qi is a mortal.
Although Rabbit knew that with Li Qi's talent and background, promotion to the seventh rank was basically a foregone conclusion, the premise was that he would slowly accumulate for decades.
It took only a few months to go from the eighth rank to the seventh rank. There is no such person in the world, right?
"This has to start from before..." Li Qi did not feel happy. He reluctantly began to tell Shen Shuibi about what he encountered after returning.
From the beginning of returning, to the exam, to the actual test, and finally the assassination and the Three Lives Ancient Mirror.
Li Qi trusted Shen Shuibi very much, so he even told her the reason for his speculation about the Three Lives Ancient Mirror's retrospection.
Rabbit listened attentively, taking notes from time to time.
When she finished listening, her expression became serious.
"He turned into the Demon of Freedom... and appeared again. It's really difficult to make a choice." Shen Shuibi thought seriously.
Soon, she gave Li Qi some advice: "Whether it's him transforming into the Demon of Freedom or someone else behind the scenes, we two will definitely be unable to resist. The only good news is probably that you have the support of Wu Shenshan behind you." , they would be hesitant to let them do it.”
"So, there is no need to worry too much about this matter. If the mastermind behind the scenes wants to take action, it will be difficult for the two of us to provide effective resistance. It is better to just pretend that they do not exist, and remain unchanged in the face of changes. To enhance our own power.”
Hearing Shen Shuibi's suggestion, Li Qi nodded helplessly.
To be honest, this is the only way.
"As for the Three Lives Ancient Mirror..." When Shen Shuibi said this, he glanced at Li Qi.
She knew that Li Qi was a heretic, but before that she thought that Li Qi came from some extraterritorial world.
But now, a third-grade magic weapon traces Li Qi's past, traces it back to energy overload, directly explodes, and even traces it back to the edge of the expansion of the universe, but it cannot be traced back to Li Qi.
Li Qi, where are you from?
Is this heretic so far away?
But there is no need to ask, it doesn't matter where it comes from, so Shen Shuibi continued: "The ancient mirror of Sansheng has been broken. It is estimated that Chaos Zhouguang has even messed up the cause and effect. There is no way to continue tracing it. This clue is here If you want to trace it, I'm afraid you still have to catch up with Tai Xuecheng, but that's not something you and I can get involved in. We should wait until Dali Temple comes to inquire about you, and maybe we can find out something."
"Well, I think so too. The assassination can be put on hold. The top priority now is the Holy Flame Realm, so I came to find you." Li Qi said.
"I see. Then let me tell you about what happened in the Holy Flame Realm recently." After hearing this, Shen Shuibi immediately got to the point, very simply.
However, Li Qi still wanted to say a few words, but unfortunately he saw that Rabbit had already entered into the work topic, so he couldn't say anything, so he listened quietly to see what happened in the Holy Flame Realm in this short period of time.
Shen Shuibi began to tell:
It turned out that since Li Qi left that day, a major turmoil broke out in the Holy Flame Realm.
The Holy King seemed to be indifferent, so the seventh-grade Holy Flame clan below started a civil war to compete for the right to speak after the immortals left.
"It is mainly divided into two factions, the two factions you predicted, Li Qi."
"The leader of one faction is called Pan Xi. He is a seventh-grade man, and there is another seventh-grade brother. They are loyal supporters of the Immortal Sect. They have modified the Shinto method and believe that the immortals will eventually return. They feel that the green The mountain god is the strongest in the world, and when he comes back, all the other rebellious officials and traitors will be killed."
As he spoke, Shen Shuibi began to describe this sect in detail, and simply called them the Immortal Sect.
It turns out that Green Mountain God came here not only to change the tradition, but also to let the Shinto completely refine the way of heaven and make this place his divine kingdom, where all his believers live.
The area where Pan Si was located was the focus of the Green Mountain God's missionary work in the past. He himself was impressed by the many miracles performed by the Green Mountain God. He abandoned his original traditions long ago and became a loyal believer of the Green Mountain God.
With the help of the Green Mountain God, his younger brother also successfully advanced to the seventh level through Shinto methods, which made his faith even stronger.
As the leader of the Immortal Sect, he quickly encompassed two-thirds of the world, restored order, maintained stability, used his own power to quickly quell the civil strife, and used Shinto methods, that is, 'faith' to restrain them. In order to maintain normal production and life within the territory that he ruled, he even had the energy to form a large army.
It can be said that although he is from the Immortal Sect, the Holy Flame Realm did not produce any greater sacrifices, which is closely related to this person.
However, he was not doing it for the common people. According to Shen Shuibi, Pan Xi felt that the Holy Flame Realm was the kingdom of God, so he needed to do everything he could to preserve it.
All the property and people here belong to the Green Mountain God, and he is the steward of the Green Mountain God, the deputy king of the Kingdom of God, and the right hand of God. He is responsible for protecting the property that belongs to him when the Green Mountain God is away.
Compared to these two-thirds where the country is peaceful and the people are safe, the remaining one-third of the Holy Flame Realm is a chaotic dance of demons.
This area, to simply describe it, can be called a ‘lawless land’.
There is also a seventh-grade Holy Flame Clan who controls this place, his name is Jin Bang. He has been fighting against the Immortal Sect, and as a seventh-grade, he has protected this place from being invaded by the army.
However, it is filled with a lot of corruption, infighting, and the decline in people's livelihood caused by it.
Most of the Holy Flames here have been forced to stay in groups, forming small organizations such as tribes and villages. They fight independently and rarely join forces.
This area now is much more chaotic than the area of the Immortal Sect.
But there was nothing he could do to prevent such chaos.
Because they want to control these, the seventh-level force can only violently suppress it and prevent the real civil war from starting, but it cannot build it.
Violence is just a tool, but the tool needs guidance.
Why should I wield a sword?
This member of the Shengyan clan named Jin Bang didn't know or understand that the reason why he was doing what he was doing now was just because he was unwilling to accept the rule of the immortals and refused to surrender.
He didn't want the way of immortals, but he couldn't come up with a feasible way.
Because, in his territory, countless paths quickly split into countless factions, and various ideas emerged one after another. It was too chaotic, and the people of the Holy Flame Clan were full of suspicion of the world.
Some doubted the immortals, some doubted the tradition, and some doubted everything. In order to open up a new path, in addition to the differences on these major routes, there were also many differences on the minor routes.
If we return to tradition, should we keep the good things of the immortals? Which ones should we keep? Which ones should we eliminate?
Just in the area of the Son of Destiny where Shen Shuibi was located, there were dozens of schools, many of which were extremely erroneous. Even if they all supported tradition, there would be various differences due to various details.
Such chaotic thoughts will inevitably affect more practical operations. You support that, I support this, and everyone can't reach an agreement, so they can only fight each other, causing the entire environment to be extremely chaotic.
Such a situation is extremely unfavorable to governance, and it is even more impossible to stabilize the situation.
The confusion in thought will definitely lead to confusion in action. Now here, for civilians, life is far less comfortable than in the immortal sect.
After explaining the specific situation, Shen Shuibi sighed: "Under the current situation, it is difficult to say that the tradition of the Holy Flame Realm is better. If we want to support the tradition, we have to participate violently, but in that case, what we do is actually no different from what the Green Mountain God does."
Li Qi nodded. He certainly knew that the tradition of the Holy Flame Realm could not be better than the Shinto of the world.
Shinto is a very complete social system that can guide production and determine social positions. It is a method that has been developed for a long time in the world. The tradition of the Holy Flame Realm, which is still fragmented, is of course impossible to win. This is natural.
Then, Li Qi said: "Of course it is different. I will not spread witchcraft or humanity here. The road of the Holy Flame Realm still has to be walked by the Holy Flame Realm itself. Let them try it. It may still be very chaotic now, but in a few decades, it will be able to eliminate the dross and retain the essence. I am not afraid of chaos, but I am afraid that there will be no vitality, so that these Holy Flame people dare not even have new ideas."
"You are not going to preach?" Shen Shuibi said in surprise.
"No need. The natural way of the Holy Flame Clan is the most suitable way for them to produce Holy Flame. Forcing witchcraft to spread here will cause many problems." Li Qi said.
The Holy Flame Clan still has to have its own way. This is Li Qi's reward for collecting their Holy Flame.
Taking their Holy Flame, let them keep their own traditions and paths.
Even if the people of the Holy Flame World think that Li Qi is inexplicable and talking to himself, it is the fact.
This is 'right'.
"Well, it's good that you have made up your mind." Shen Shuibi nodded.
