Chapter 632: The Second Rank War

Li Qi was ordered to return to the rear, and he didn't even have the chance to say anything more to Shen Shuibi and Li Shiwei. He could only hurriedly hand Li Shiwei over to Shen Shuibi, and left after giving her a few instructions.

He didn't even have time to celebrate the victory of the Vanguard War, and the conversation he had agreed to with the Demon Prince had to be terminated, so he hurriedly embarked on the journey.

If he guessed it himself...

Could it be related to the Demonic Path?

It is very likely, after all, he is the one who directly bears the gaze of the Heavenly Demon.

But... I am a little worried, after all, after the war, Li Shiwei and Shen Shuibi, mother and daughter, are still on the front line.

Although the Vanguard War has ended, the Human-Witch War has just begun...

With this worry in mind, Li Qi embarked on the journey.

This journey was not long, only two or three days, but in these two or three days, two constellations were shattered.

It was the first time that Li Qi knew that the teleportation of the constellations also had an upper limit in terms of distance.

Because Li Qi had contacted with the Constellations before, although the Constellations had a carrying limit, it was basically the upper limit of the number of people and mass. If tens of thousands of worlds were to be teleported, it would be seriously overloaded. The Constellations at Li Qi's disposal could not withstand the transmission of the fourth-grade and above.

It seems that this was considered when designing, and it was not considered to be used by beings above the fourth-grade at all.

But when teleporting one person, the ability of the Constellations seemed to be unlimited. It could be directly teleported from Tianxia to Douxiu, and there was no pressure at all.

The distance in between was calculated in hundreds of billions of light years... The Constellations had no pressure at all.

But at this moment, Li Qi realized that the Constellations would collapse if the transmission distance was too far.

He himself didn't know where he was teleported to. There was no trace of this direction on the Constellations' star map, but the distance was far enough to cause the Constellations to collapse.

After the collapse of two Constellations, he finally came to the final command center of the Wu Dao.

It really was... the end.

Zhu Fengdan was not qualified to command here.

There was a first-grade Wu God sitting in person, and the second-grade ones were the staff to handle information.

There are many war zones, but this is not the war zone of Li Qi. Li Qi is just a small place in Zhu Fengdan's hands.

The war zone here refers to the level of Zhu Fengdan.

To be honest...

Li Qi's legs are a little weak.

Even though he can stand up and speak in front of the third-grade, when he thinks that he will meet the second-grade Zhu this time, the place he comes to is the base camp of the witch, and even this is the ultimate goal of the human way, the place where the Sun and Moon True Lead Cauldron awakens...

It's better to hold on a little, don't be too embarrassed.

Li Qi thought so, raised his head, and cheered himself up.

When he came here, no one received Li Qi.

In fact, there was no need for reception. Just arriving at this place, all the information about this place naturally popped up in Li Qi's mind.

This was directly transmitted to him by the "Alliance".

The surroundings were not quiet, and there were even people coming and going. People who came here had things of the same level as Li Qi to deal with.

This made Li Qi couldn't help but recall his time in the war zone.

During the time when he was in command, he was dealing with the "only one major event in life" in the world below every moment, such as the destruction of the world, the extinction of species, the wandering of civilization, etc. Li Qi had to deal with thousands of them every day.

And it is the same now.

For Li Qi, a super major event that only happens once in a lifetime is just a daily job for Zhi Zhu here.

This place does not seem to be in the real universe. It should be a cave.

The cave is an independent space, similar to a small universe in the universe.

Li Qi felt a huge pressure as soon as he came here.

The surroundings are very simple, just ordinary buildings, similar to an independent mortal city, there is nothing special, and there are no magical powers and magic, but the people who come and go, except for Li Qi who comes to do business, are all fourth-grade.

Li Qi was stunned and felt that he was insignificant and not worth mentioning.

In this cave, everything seems to be mortal, but Li Qi can feel that those who can exist in this space cannot be mortals, but he can't perceive their divine will.

I really know that Yun is ineffective here.

It's not that it's suppressed and ineffective, but... I really know that Yun can't see through anything here, even if it's just the dust on the ground.

The only information that Li Qi can scan out is himself and the items on his body.

This makes Li Qi feel unexpectedly... peaceful.

At least, he can really observe things in an optical way, instead of having his eyes filled with information all over the sky.

However, there is a business here after all.

He walked all the way and joined the crowd, looking inconspicuous at all.

Separated from the crowd, he came to a small room.

According to the news in the "Alliance", here he will contact Zhizhu's spirit, and the other party will explain the specific matters.

Yes, I will say it here, which cannot be said outside.

Because everything outside may be monitored and leaked.

Only the inside of this cave is safe.

There are not many things in the small room, just a table and a chair, nothing else, even the home of a mortal is better than this.

Li Qi sat on the chair, sitting upright, waiting quietly.

He was not kept waiting for too long. Soon, a shadow formed in front of him.

Li Qi held his breath.

Is this the spirit of Zhizhu?

There is no abnormality at all. There is no divine intention. It is just a ball of light condensed into a human form. It is probably just for talking.

This Zhizhu was also very ordinary, just like anyone you would encounter at any time on the street. His clothes were made of coarse cloth and had an ancient atmosphere, as if they were dug out of the ground.

While Li Qi was observing, Zhizhu spoke.

"Li Qi, right?" he asked.

"Yes, it's me." Li Qi replied immediately.

Zhizhu said calmly: "The decision has been made about you. You need to be confined here for three hundred and fifty years. During this period, you can move freely, but you can only stay in this cave. You cannot contact the outside world, you cannot make breakthroughs in cultivation, and you cannot Leave a record in words and images.”

"Is this punishment? What did I do?" Li Qi immediately frowned.

He won the Vanguard Battle. There was no reward, so why should he be punished?

"Huh? Oh, the war zone you were responsible for was Zhu Fengdan's round, so he probably didn't tell you... Tsk, what a bastard." Zhizhu took a look at the information and immediately figured out what happened next.

Then, he began to explain: "This is not a punishment, nor is it because of what you are doing now, but because of the future."

"The future?" Li Qi was confused.

"Well, in the future." Zhizhu said: "Because of the arrival of your daughter, three hundred and forty-two years later, you will openly disobey Si Rong Zhu Fengdan's order, choose to cooperate with the devil, and finally save your wife and daughter. But it resulted in the humane destruction of one-seventh of the front line and the direct fall of more than 16.4 million people in the battle area. This has already happened, so it must be stopped.”

"Therefore, you must be banned here for three hundred and fifty years, and all your external interference must stop. Here, neither fate nor cause and effect can interfere, only pure material probability remains."

Speaking of this call, Li Qi opened his mouth, as if he didn't know what to say.

"Understood?" Zhizhu's spirit said.

Li Qi stood up from the chair: "No, I still don't understand. Wu Dao wants to punish me now for my future mistakes? I have never done that kind of thing! After you told me, I will not do this either Things, I know you can predict the future, but since you stop me, the future will be changed..."

Li Qi originally wanted to say something indignantly, but when he said this, he suddenly froze.

He himself realized something was wrong.

If so, you can really change the future. So, if you see a future war with heavy losses, you will stop it. Their simple decision can save thousands of lives.

Well, this thing would be prevented from the start.

But after this incident was stopped, it was as if it never happened.

Dear friends, how can we see and intervene in something that has never happened? And they also made it clear that this had already happened.

The Zhizhus knew about the outside world and obtained the situation of future battles from it, but they also planned to change the future so that the war would never happen...

So, what should we do with this sudden extra information?

Make it disappear suddenly?

Now they already have the results and even details of a future war, and that war will never happen after Li Qi is banned.

So where did the information about that war come from? How should we comment on the fact that this has already happened?

This is a time paradox.

In Li Qi's imagination, maybe...this information, this incident happened in another parallel universe, just like the parallel world theory.

In this universe, wars will occur, but not in Li Qi's own universe. Different world lines are born due to different choices. Is this the world line that Zhu Zhu saw?

But reason told Li Qi that it was far from that simple, because he deeply understood the world's definition of 'universe'.

All space and time, added up, are called the universe.

So...what's going on?

Seeing Li Qi becoming confused as he spoke, Zhizhu's spirit was about to leave, but he suddenly saw the causal thread on Li Qi's body again.

This made him decide to say a few more words, because this was a young man who was a genius and could see the thread of cause and effect when his genius reached the sixth level.

So, he said: "If we can really see the future and perfectly predict what will happen in the future, let's not say whether this divination is based on calculation or what."

"So, do you think humanity has this ability?" he asked.

Li Qi thought for a moment and nodded.

Yes, there should be some humanity.

Then, both sides can see the future and interfere with the future...

Then...how to fight this kind of battle?

Li Qi's expression was dull.

Seeing Li Qi's expression, Zhizhu continued: "Look, if both sides can do it, and our wisdom is perfect, there will never be any failure or victory."

"You saw the future, modified the future, I modified the future you modified, you modified the future I modified, this war will be reduced to a rough sketch, we and humanity can modify or even erase it It, then the war will no longer have any meaning."

"So, if we can fight, it means that war is not what you imagined. You can start to understand it from the phrase 'it has already happened'." Zhi Zhu said.

"That is to say... I did do it, and it has already happened." Li Qi forced himself to calm down and asked carefully.

"Yes, you did do it, and it happened, but... we let all of this start over again." Zhi Zhu said.

Li Qi felt that his heart stopped.

But Zhi Zhu ignored him and continued: "No one can predict the future, because the future itself is the present, no matter the past or the future, it is the present. Since the present is uncertain, the future must be uncertain."

"The divination you do is essentially to deduce possibilities, not to predict the future, because the future cannot be predicted."

At this time, Li Qi could barely take a breath, and he immediately said: "Then...if I have done this, you...turned back time?"

"We have never turned back time, or you should ask...what is time? You should know the relativity of the time axis. You often travel at speeds close to the speed of light. The constellations themselves are super-universe actions, and even many worlds have special cosmic lights. You should be able to realize that time does not exist, right?"

Li Qi had to think carefully and finally came to a counterintuitive conclusion.

"Yes..." He opened his mouth with difficulty and said, "Time does not exist... Time is just our subjective perception of matter."

"You see, it's that simple. We reorganize matter, regret, and start all over again. We don't know what the future will be like. We can only try again and again. You, and we, try together."

"That's why I'm telling you so much. You're a very good young man. I've seen many of your achievements. You've really done them, but you don't know, because they haven't happened to you." Zhi Zhu's expression was a little gentle.

Before Li Qi could react, he continued, "So, you should understand the process of our decision-making. We want to win a war, not just a battle."

"We can't focus on a single battle event, we have to consider the overall situation. That's why we often send you out to fight a battle that is doomed to lose, why we let our younger generations sacrifice, knowing that their death will not get any immediate benefit, and even turn a victorious battle into a defeat. But all of this is for long-term victory."

"We are constantly trying the future, this is the war of the second rank."
