Chapter 794 Time Sequence

Zhu Fengdan was stunned when he heard the news of the arrival of the second Chongli clan.

Then, the remaining half of his head thought for a moment and asked: "How many grades?"

"Seventh grade." Li Qi answered honestly.

"Seventh grade... Tsk, that's a bit embarrassing." Zhu Fengdan clicked his tongue, and frowned with his remaining eye, looking displeased.

It's normal, because the seventh grade is really embarrassing.

If it is the eighth or ninth grade, then it can be said that it is passing by, and was just sent to this battlefield by the way, and was assigned as an ordinary soldier at the grassroots level.

If it is around the fifth and fourth grades, then it is almost certain that they are really following Li Qi and Zhu Fengdan.

But the seventh grade is just stuck in the middle, so it’s really hard to judge.

However, Zhu Fengdan's character was not like that of Li Qi who would be worried. He thought for a few seconds, curled up half of his mouth, and said: "It's only the seventh grade, don't look like a frightened bird. Before the arrow reached me, I was trembling with fear as soon as I heard the sound of the string. I will think about what to do. By the way, the spirit in your body is like this. Have you considered giving up the inner world? "

"Abandon the Inner Heaven and Earth?" Li Qi looked puzzled: "Many of my cultivations are based on the Inner Heaven and Earth. If I rely solely on my spirit and soul, my magical powers, techniques, and even my path cannot be fully deduced. How can this be done?"

"I'm not saying give up, but I'm saying give up now. This body is completely dragging down your soul. Just give up and just die. You will turn into a ghost. Even though your combat power has dropped by 70 to 80%, you can still be beaten to death." A few hundred fifth-grade ones are no problem, do you want to try?" Zhu Fengdan suggested.

"...Isn't it necessary? Has it reached this point now?" Li Qi looked a little reluctant.

Giving up the physical body is simply put. Once you really become a ghost, you can't go back. If you want to restore the physical body later, the only way is to reincarnate.

Although Teacher Zhu said it very lightly and said: "Forget it if you die.", Li Qi felt that he could still save something.

"You won't really die. In your current state, it won't take hundreds of thousands of years for you to be reincarnated and rebuild." Zhu Fengdan looked relaxed.

"Teacher, I haven't practiced for hundreds of thousands of years yet." Li Qi reminded.

"Why are you pretending? The time of reincarnation is not time? We count somatosensory time, somatosensory time, you know, and now at this level, does time still have meaning to me? What is meaningful to us is 'timing'. Zhu Fengdan said casually.

Zhu Fengdan said something casually, but Li Qi's eyes suddenly flashed.

Time is not important, what is important is timing.

These words directly stirred up the many fragments of inspiration in Li Qi's mind, and then lined them up to form a new inspiration.

In other words, this is called ‘enlightenment’.

Zhu Fengdan glanced at Li Qi.

Okay.

Okay, that’s how we geniuses are. Just do this kind of epiphany once a day and treat it as daily exercise.

Zhu Fengdan turned around and left, continuing to build the materials that looked like building blocks with him. He didn't know what they were, but he actually asked him to start working with half of his head on his head without even doing any healing.

On Li Qi's side, he began to think about... the so-called 'timing'.

Timing actually means literally, that is: the sequence of time.

So, what about time?

Time seems to be a number axis, a straight line starting from the starting point and extending towards the infinite shore.

The timing is the numbers on this number axis.

On a number line, the size of a number is determined, whether it is a rational number or an irrational number.

Then, the order of these numbers is the node where things happen.

These nodes must be unique, because time can actually be divided infinitely, and irrational numbers are infinite decimals, so there are infinite time points, and these time points must not overlap.

Infinite time points can be allocated to infinite events, just like the Hilbert Hotel. Infinite travelers can each get a room of their own.

Therefore, everything has its own timing.

From the beginning of the universe to the present, everything has its own unique ‘order’.

It's similar to the "action bar" of a turn-based game. You can only act when it's your turn. Follow them one by one. Once this one is completed, you'll move on to the next one. Everything has its own "order."

From the creation of the universe to the death of all things and the end of time, everything has its own place in the 'time sequence'.

The expression of time series, the certain appearance of this time series, is ‘cause and effect’.

This can be seen from the "sequential nature" of cause and effect. The same is true for cause and effect. From the moment of the "first cause", the cause becomes the effect, the effect becomes the cause, and the cause becomes the effect, in an infinite cycle. The typical 'timing' structure continues towards the rear.

Therefore, causation is likely to be a manifestation of timing.

However, as we all know, the third grade has the ability to affect cause and effect, and although the fourth grade cannot affect cause and effect, they are no longer affected by the law of cause and effect. They have preliminary reality, and they can exist without relying on 'cause'.

In other words, if you delete the reason for my existence, "My mother gave birth to me," in the sentence "My mother gave birth to me, and I cultivated to the fourth level," the fifth level will disappear directly, while the fourth level will remain. Will exist, because the fourth grade is 'free', they can maintain their own existence by themselves alone.

Li Qi is a special case. When Li Qi was a fifth-rank being, he possessed the third-rank characteristics and gained the ability to influence cause and effect.

So, since cause and effect may be one of the manifestations of time sequence, is the retrospective ability of Li Qi's "selecting the future" an ability to influence time sequence?

Not necessarily.

No... It can be said that it is definitely not.

Because, after the law of cause and effect is broken, things like "reversing cause and effect" and "cause before effect" are essentially directly modifying reality, making reality must conform to new cause and effect.

For example, a person was stabbed.

Li Qi took action and removed the cause of stabbing him, so the person would come back to life directly. At this time, cause and effect are still valid, but in the eyes of the existence with "reality", cause and effect have been changed, but in fact, from the perspective of the world itself, cause and effect are still valid.

It's just that the event happened again.

At this time, from the perspective of "time sequence", cause and effect are really reversed.

Because, for "time", the order of things is: first cause and effect, reverse cause and effect, second cause and effect.

Everything is clear and marked in the time sequence.

Therefore, cause and effect itself has nothing to do with time sequence, because no matter what, time will not move.

If you go back in time, you will find that time is still moving forward, but there are more repeated memories of "going back".

For you personally, time will never go back, it keeps going forward, it is an endless one-way street.

Moreover, time is absolutely subjective, everyone has his own timeline, which is also the reason for the special cosmic light.

So... cause and effect can be reversed, but time sequence cannot be reversed.

Time sequence is the real thing hidden behind cause and effect, which cannot be changed or reversed.

Just as Li Qi realized before.

The future and the past do not exist, everything is now.

And time sequence is a drawing that marks all the things in the past, writes all the things in the present, and has an infinitely wide space waiting for all the things in the future.

The infinite backtracking of those powerful people may be backtracking for the parties involved, but for the powerful people themselves, those things that have happened again and again are real history.

Time sequence cannot be changed, so... where is the importance of time sequence?

Li Qi was thinking.

However, he suddenly realized that now was not the time for him to think. When he looked up, he found that half an hour had passed and Zhu Fengdan was still doing his own thing.

Since Zhu Fengdan had agreed that he would solve this matter, Li Qi gave up asking further questions and said, "Well, in that case, I'll take my leave first. By the way, teacher, what are you doing here?"

"The Buddha said, it cannot be said, it cannot be said." Zhu Fengdan hummed and said so.

"...Then why don't you recover your body? I don't think your inner world is seriously damaged. It doesn't seem to be difficult to recover your body, right?" Li Qi was a little confused.

Li Qi naturally ignored the two words "Buddha said". After all, for Zhu Fengdan, it would be normal for him to say "the saint said" one day.

But it's also a good thing. At least it shows that the Buddha and the saint have good tempers.

When he dares to say "the emperor said", that will be news, and he will probably die at that time.

"Just because the damage is not serious doesn't mean there is no damage. That bastard cut off the connection between my body and the inner world before he lost. Now I can't use too much of my cultivation, but his damage is a little more serious than mine. If it were him... he could probably announce his retirement during this war. It's just a pity that he couldn't be killed directly, otherwise he would have won directly." Zhu Fengdan said casually.

"If that's the case, why didn't the teacher just kill the other party? Now the third-rank is powerless, the fourth-rank is seriously injured, and the remaining ones... shouldn't be your opponents, right?" Li Qi asked again.

"You are also half dead now. Now the opposite Zhechou Duwei is coming. Can you drag him to death? Why are you still asking such a question? Not being able to take action doesn't mean you can't fight hard. Okay, don't disturb me while I'm working. Get out of here quickly." Zhu Fengdan rolled his eyes and urged Li Qi to leave quickly.

Li Qi shook his head and didn't say much. After saluting, he drove out in a wheelchair.

When Li Qi left, the entire Baiyue was also undergoing transformation in full swing.

Bai Di withdrew from the front line and joined the ranks of supervisors.

Supervisor is a position recently established.

There are hundreds of countries in Baiyue, and each country is almost as big as a planet, and some are even two or three times larger. Reforms of this area are not so easy to control.

A riot is likely to evolve into a complete civil strife, and finally become a struggle between hundreds of domestic forces, like the end of the Republic of China.

It is called reform, but in fact the entire country is almost collapsed, and it is actually divided into dozens of warlords. Civil wars and various forces are fighting everywhere.

If things develop to that point, the ruler of this country will definitely not sit idly by, and Li Qi will lose another fifth-grade combat force.

If Li Qi's reforms will affect the core interests of the rulers of Baiyue, then they will definitely not follow Li Qi, and Li Qi must win them over.

Therefore, in order to prevent the expansion of the situation, it is necessary to establish a supervisory agency to ensure that the reforms and innovations in the production system are controllable and will not affect the foundation and interests of the rulers.

The supervision agency was born from this. They were responsible for ensuring that the changes in Baiyue would not affect the real beneficiaries - the rulers of Baiyue.

Although Li Qi wanted to chop off all the rulers of Baiyue, it was obviously impossible now that the war was imminent, so he could only acquiesce to such things and then try his best to transform the current situation of Baiyue.

After the scouts on the front line withdrew, Bai Di joined the ranks of supervisors. The ability of Xiezhi made him even more powerful in this position.

Moreover, his experience of practicing martial arts and exorcising demons for many years also made him very decisive, just like when he faced the humane witch, he fought when he said he would fight, and ran when he said he would run, without any delay.

In the matter of supervision, his habit was not to prove that he had eaten a few bowls of noodles by cutting open his abdomen, but to dig out the other person's eyes and eat them, so that he could see for himself.

Therefore, Bai Di could easily supervise those who tried to use this change to seek personal gain.

And people like Bai Di were what Li Qi needed most now.

Li Qi is not afraid of other people's opposition. He has absolute violence to promote this change. What he needs is someone who is capable enough to promote the change. He must be firm enough and have some means to avoid being unable to bear the burden and resist the temptation.

Fortunately, there is the Chamber of Commerce jointly established by Luofu Mountain and him.

Li Qi is not very concerned about this Chamber of Commerce. It is basically handed over to Luofu Mountain for management. At this moment, it comes in handy.

Except for a few outsiders like Bai Di, the current supervision team is basically handed over to this group of Li Qi's direct confidants from the Chamber of Commerce outside the region.

It is not entirely true to say that they are confidants. After all, Li Qi basically doesn't know them. Usually Yang Ning is in charge. Li Qi's only role in this Chamber of Commerce is to provide a title of "Young Master".

However, this title can be said to be the foundation of the entire Chamber of Commerce. It is very important. It is just like a mining license of a mining company. Without this license, the entire Chamber of Commerce will fall apart.

At this moment, Bai Di is contacting colleagues from the Chamber of Commerce.

"Zhang You, right?" Bai Di looked at the woman in front of him. She looked very young, but the age of a cultivator should not be taken seriously.

Although Bai Di himself looked to be in his fifties, he was actually only a few hundred years older than Zhang You.

He had heard that this Zhang You was very famous.
