Chapter 826: The Appearance of the Demonic City
Among them, humanity is particularly intense.
The differentiation between the natural world and the human world, the distinction between the free world and the human world, is separated by humans. A person can treat nature well, feed his own dog, and treat him as his own son.
But, at the same time, he can also eat dog meat
Attitudes towards non-human things are determined by individual people
You are not a human being. People can treat you well or they can treat you badly.
People can live in harmony with dogs, but people can also eat dog meat.
This key distinction does not lie in the attitude towards people, but in the power of classification. Witchcraft and Taoism deprive people of this right and do not recognize the power of "people" to divide the natural world and the human world.
From this, human nature is even more unwilling to accept witchcraft, which is why the relationship is so incompatible.
But no matter how you say it, it can actually be seen that the relationship between Wu Dao and all parties except humanity is not bad. They can all find something they can accept in Wu Jin, but Wu Dao prohibits this kind of "acceptable" 'becomes 'the only acceptable' one.
Therefore, there is a clear distinction between Wu Daocai and other Taoist traditions.
The Demon Prince understands this deeply.
In fact, the Demon Prince has insights into all Taoist traditions, and it is precisely because of this that he walked out of the palace and walked towards Li Shiwei.
"Although it is said that you fell into the devil because of paranoia and lost your Taoist heart, you are still thinking about the witchcraft, and your aesthetics are exactly the same as the witchcraft." The Demon Prince came over.
He was very slow. After all, he was lame and had to use crutches. If he didn't use magical powers, it would take him about ten minutes to walk the few hundred meters.
Hearing the words of the Demon Prince, Li Shiwei sneered and said: "Ha...Uncle Mo, I have never practiced witchcraft. Even when I was at home, I only learned the skills of Luofu Mountain."
"Does the technique you practice have anything to do with your Taoism? What you practice now is still the Chenji Golden Pill Technique, but you grew up in Wushen Mountain. What you see, what you accept, and what you recognize in your heart Everything is the same," the Demon Prince said.
"So, knowledge will hinder your cognition. You have seen too much about witchcraft and Taoism. You should seriously look at more worlds, more Taoist traditions, and see the nine places in the world. When you understand enough, Only when you understand enough can you truly make a choice and find your own path." The Demon Prince walked behind Li Shiwei.
"Oh... Uncle Mo means that the reason why I think this place is disgusting now is because I haven't seen enough and don't know enough about the devil?" Li Shiwei also stood up and looked at the devil prince.
The Demon Prince is relatively short among men. He is lame after all, so the two of them can look at each other at eye level.
The Demon Prince looked into Li Shiwei's eyes and said: "You don't need to understand the devil's way, you just need to understand your heart. What you think is right. There has never been a 'demon' in this world, it's just the world's understanding of the devil." The inner resistance that I don’t want to accept.”
"When people first recognize their preferences, because of their past experiences and education, they will resist this and are unwilling to admit that this is who they really are."
"And you are too young, and you don't know who you really are, so go and search in various places, maybe you can find it. Now that you are here, go and have a look, and see if there are any people in the city you look down on. There's nothing you like." The Demon Prince stretched out his crutch and tapped it on the ground, signaling to go down to the city.
"...Interesting. Since it is the method recommended by Uncle Mo, I will try it." Li Shiwei nodded and chose to accept it.
Without hesitation, she directly opened the gap between the levels and landed below.
Below, that is, the second floor after the top floor, is where only those in high positions live.
Master Li fell freely.
Below is a very gorgeous world. The people who live here are basically fifth-grade and sixth-grade people. They came here after fighting desperately from the world below.
When you come here, you are a person above others. There are countless people in the lower levels struggling to survive in the mud, but they live in a world of orderly order under the sun.
certainly……
Order does not mean safety.
Li Shiwei certainly knows that the various dramas staged here are much richer than they appear on the surface.
Hidden on the gorgeous stage are huge crimes, but they all happen secretly within the high-walled courtyard guarded by iron gates. Under the polite appearance are hidden bottomless conspiracies, all of which are unknown to outsiders. Unbeknownst to them, intricate secret relationships are constantly developing, like a tangled ball of thread.
People here are thinking about big-ticket business, not petty crimes like robbing and killing people on the streets.
Compared with real criminals, this business of licking blood with the tip of a knife can only be regarded as child's play.
It's just that she has no interest in this so-called 'conspiracy'. Although she and Li Qi have not communicated with each other, both of them have shown considerable disgust towards it.
Li Shiwei ignored the looks from around her.
She continued to rush towards the lower level, preparing to rush to the bottom in one breath.
——————————
And on the other side.
"Ah... this is the south, the 'Land of Freedom' and 'City of Dreams' of the Demonic Way." Li Qi raised his head and looked at the southernmost place in the world.
He has heard about this place for a long time. After all, it is the base of the devil in the world.
Of course, although it is called a base, the Demon Dao actually does not have any high-end combat forces stationed here. It is just a place set up according to convention.
Of course, this place is actually very important. It is a ‘symbol’ and the ‘legal principle’ of the Demon Dao in the world. It may be useless to keep it, but it will definitely be a big problem if it is not kept.
The reason why he came here is that Chongnian Dabu has pointed out a clear way for him. At the bottom of the hot sand of the Demon Dao, he can see Li Shiwei.
However, Dabu is unwilling to say more about more things.
He doesn’t know what will happen after seeing Li Shiwei.
Even Dabu suggested that he didn’t need to go so early and recuperate. After all, Li Qi’s body spirits are all gone, and his current state is a long way from the ‘complete form’.
But Li Qi rejected Dabu’s suggestion. If he wants to cultivate all the body spirits, there is no limit to the time. This is a permanent injury, and recovery is not so simple. Even if Emperor Liujiang has repaired his body and inner world, he has not repaired the body spirits.
However, if the inner world is not damaged, his combat power is probably about half.
However, after being injured, it will drop rapidly, because without the god in his body to maintain the stability of the inner world, he will fall into a situation where he will become weaker and weaker.
But it doesn't matter.
In the world, the fourth-grade battle is prohibited, and Li Qi is not worried that he will go to war with others because of this.
Li Qi looked around carefully, and really knew that Yun scanned a circle and obtained the surrounding information.
If possible, Li Qi really wanted to scan the entire Demonic Land directly, but unfortunately he couldn't do it.
In the outer domain, he can easily scan things that are several light years away, but in the world, the suppression of the Heavenly Dao is too strong, and it is already amazing that he can take into account the size of dozens of earths.
And the size of dozens of earths is really too small in terms of the surface area of the world. It can only be said to be a pinhole on the world map.
Not to mention that in addition to the area, the bigger problem is actually the local fourth-grade.
You know, there are quite a number of fourth-grade magicians in this area. If you investigate without authorization, you will probably attract a lot of unnecessary attention or even conflicts. Although there will be no fighting in the world, if the other party really wants to trip you up, it will not be a good thing.
The more courtesy, the less blame. Li Shiwei is still here. Giving some face to the magicians will also make things convenient for yourself.
Li Qi restrained his perception and only used his eyes to observe.
As the southernmost place, the temperature here is quite high and the yang energy is sufficient. It is not at all like the gloomy atmosphere that the "magic" should have, but it is particularly sunny.
However, there is a huge building here.
It is really...huge.
It covers an area of at least 10,000 or 20,000 Earths. This is really a super giant building, which is almost the same as the workload of the Dyson Sphere.
Correspondingly, the life living in it is basically the same as the civilization living in the Dyson Sphere. All life is in the ecological warehouse in the Dyson Sphere.
Combined with the terrifying population density in this area, such a life is of course extremely crowded, but thanks to the infinite energy of the artificial sun and the widespread use of caves and small worlds, it is generally acceptable and will not really squeeze people to death here.
Li Qi blended into nature and walked into this huge building.
There is no door to the outside world in the building. All roads are from top to bottom. If you want to go out, you have to break the wall, which is at least something that can be done by the sixth rank.
So, if you want to leave here, either you have a sixth rank or above cultivation, or you have a sixth rank or above backer willing to help you.
But for Li Qi, this is not a problem. He directly passed through the material itself, and the wall was not an obstacle to him at all.
Passing through this area, he came to the upper floors.
This super huge Dyson sphere-like building is not only on the ground. In fact, most of the building is buried underground. The dozens of floors built on the ground are the "high-rise" that can see the sun, which is an absolutely superior place.
When he came to this place, Li Qi directly spread his body.
His body became ethereal and turned into a state of ‘qi’. He passed through the cracks in the material, was caught by the earth’s magnetic field, and fell towards the ground.
This fall was hundreds of miles.
That’s right, hundreds of miles deep, divided into many layers, with an area of a star level, this is the scope of this ‘dream city’.
And the population density here can reach one person per square meter per layer.
So many people piled together, what kind of shape would it be, Li Qi couldn’t imagine. To be honest, even if he was a fourth-grade, with extraordinary deduction ability, it was difficult to imagine what it would look like under this circumstance.
But he still had to come.
Li Qi fell all the way to the bottom, and then his body began to reorganize, quietly hiding in the crowd in a way that blended into nature.
Really... a crowd.
Li Qi found it difficult to describe what this place looked like. This place seemed to be some kind of ‘hibernation chamber’.
Li Qi originally wanted to say ‘big bunk bed’, but big bunk bed really couldn’t accurately describe the state here.
Everyone was lying together, so as long as their faces moved slightly, their shoulders, arms and feet would touch each other.
It's like a chicken farm, all the chickens are inside the fence, tied up and unable to move.
The people here are just like the chickens.
Moreover, they sleep in layers, one after another, with only one "bed" on each layer. Thousands of people lie on this "bed", and the bed is only 30 centimeters high, which is another bed. It looks like a steamer for steaming buns, layer by layer, and people are the buns inside.
However, here, they are all humanoids.
It is very dark here, and there is no light for Li Qi to see things, but this does not interfere with Li Qi's perception. He has many ways to replace the function of the eyes, so he can distinguish.
In the darkness, Li Qi did not hear groans and curses. On the contrary, it was very quiet here, and everyone was sleeping soundly. According to the situation here, they are almost sleeping on a bus packed like sardines, unable to turn over or move, and most of them have wounds on their bodies, the wounds are festering, or the bites and burns of some creatures are beginning to ooze pink liquid, the scars from being whipped are bleeding, and many places are also oozing pus.
But they still sleep soundly.
This is not normal.
Li Qijin used his true knowledge to scan around.
"Medicine?" He immediately noticed that everyone here had a certain dose of medicine on them.
Li Qi took a deep breath.
The smell here is very fresh. Logically, such a crowded place should be a hot, terrible and almost suffocating stinky cage, but the ventilation system here is very good. Fresh air is sent here, allowing everyone to breathe safely.
Li Qi noticed that the air coming from this "cage" is fresh and in line with the habits of humanoid creatures.
There are other cages next to it, and each cage has a variety of lives, different races, and different lives, all locked in this "chicken farm".
In the cages of other races, the lives there also have corresponding life-support devices, and the air or medicine in them also meets their needs.
Although it is crowded here, it is not fatal, and because everyone is hypnotized by drugs, no one even feels uncomfortable.
'Collective dormitory...' Li Qi guessed.
Thinking of this, he walked out of the cage.
It is unimaginably crowded here, but there are people moving outside.
Li Qi split his body into air, passed through the gap, and came out.
Sure enough, his guess was right.
This is a building similar to a ‘box’, with words written on the outside, which read: “Cheap dormitory.”
There is a fee next to it, and it only costs one cent to sleep here for a night.
It’s the end of the month and the monthly ticket is doubled, right? Everyone can vote with the money they have saved
