Chapter 887: The Hot Battle of the Third Rank
What does the hot war of the three rank be like?
In fact, it is quite straightforward.
Because, for the existence of the ‘metaphysical’, even ‘history’ itself does not seem heavy enough in front of the three rank, and reality will change because of their appearance.
Concepts and reality will affect each other, which is also a manifestation of the Taoist Yin-Yang Tai Chi.
The unity of positive and negative, such as life and death, survival, success and failure, gains and losses, benefits and harms, disasters and blessings, right and wrong, straight and crooked, all combine the positive and negative ends into one, and the big ones are like talking about heaven and earth, movement and stillness, yin and yang, and the beginning and the end.
Although it is said that: "The metaphysical is called Tao, and the physical is called Qi." However, in fact, Tao and Qi are also one, metaphysical and physical are actually two ends, and the physical is the center. So-called holding the two ends, so when talking about things, we must talk about things, and when talking about Qi, we must talk about Tao, just like talking about heaven, we must talk about earth, and when talking about virtue, we must talk about karma.
In this way, the metaphysical and the physical must be explained in order to see that they are one. The universe and all things are changing infinitely, so the true meaning of the "Tao" can be seen in this infinite change.
In other words, the battle of the "Tao" of the three-grade people will be directly reflected in the material world.
It is also normal. When the "Tao" changes, the universe will naturally change accordingly.
But in an abstract sense, there is no "battlefield" in this battle, because both sides affect the fine-tuning of the entire reality.
For the three-grade people who involve any possible life, the spatial range under the limitation of physical constants is too narrow, and they fight head-on by promoting changes and repairing the laws of reality on which all living beings depend for survival.
For example, Li Qi now directly interferes with the physical properties of the universe on a large scale to accomplish what he wants.
At this moment, the universe "curled up".
As we all know, under normal circumstances, except for a few macroscopic dimensions, three spatial dimensions and one time dimension, most of the other dimensions of the universe are extremely small and curled up on an extremely small scale.
One of these curled-up dimensions unfolded.
After it is unfolded, it is relatively large, about one millimeter.
The dimension that is unfolded at this moment can be imagined as a blanket woven with space-time as the material. It extends countless billions of light years into the past, with the same width and a thickness of one millimeter.
It is a bit like the pages of a book.
Therefore, the unfolded dimension becomes the center line, and the universe itself begins to fold up, with the previously unfolded dimension as the crease.
Many worlds and creatures will not feel anything. For them, the change of dimension will not produce any form of change in their own form of existence, and they cannot even perceive it, because they are in the book, whether the book is open or closed, it does not affect it at all.
As an ant crawling on a Möbius strip, whether the Möbius strip is open or curled up, it does not affect the world in his eyes, nor does it affect its continuous crawling.
However, for the existence outside the Möbius strip, it can be clearly felt that the structure of the universe has changed.
This change directly leads to the inability of energy to communicate with each other because of the folding of the universe.
Among the many fundamental forces, only gravity can propagate to another dimension. Other forces cannot cross dimensions. They can only propagate between matter, and matter relies on the spatial dimension as a guide to move.
Therefore, in this expanded dimension, gravity is strengthened.
In this dimension, the strength of gravity is one billion times stronger than that of the normal place.
Even something as small as a human can produce a significant gravitational field. One person standing opposite another can feel the gravity generated by the other person.
If people are like this, celestial mechanics is even more absurd. If the solar system is moved here, the additional gravity will instantly accelerate the earth's rotation speed to seventeen minutes per revolution like a spinning top.
In this case, almost all celestial bodies can be instantly compressed into "Guixu", and in fact it is true.
A large amount of Guixu collapsed and was born.
Then, gravity replaced electromagnetic force.
Gravity is the weakest force at short distances, so the main force in the bodies of all living beings is electromagnetic force. However, in the dimension that is unfolding at this moment, a large amount of Guixu plus a billion times of gravity directly leads to macromolecular substances bound together by gravity... This is a completely different form of creation.
It is not composed of electromagnetic force, not strong force, nor weak force, but a compound brought entirely by gravity.
Based on the new rules of gravitational chemistry, it is incredibly tight.
But through the special properties of gravity, that is, the characteristic that gravity can spread to all dimensions, Li Qi's power, through the strengthened gravity, spread to all dimensions.
The next moment, gravity has spread to the entire desire world. In the absence of human interference, the characteristic of gravity ignoring dimensions has been maximized.
In the void, the flesh of a third-grade was directly blasted to pieces.
Just now, Li Qi found his traces by folding the universe and using the disturbance of gravity when the universe was folded.
However, after the other party was blasted to pieces, he recovered quickly.
To be precise, he was not dead at all.
"Oh... a different immortality than mine." Li Qi immediately realized the difference between himself and the other party. Their paths were different, and the sources of their immortality were also different.
Li Qi's immortality came from the fact that he was now part of the foundation of reality.
The so-called metaphysics is the clear and intangible. The vessel has success and failure, but the intangible is contained in the vessel to be used. It has never been successful, nor can it be destroyed. The vessel is worn out, but the Tao has never stopped.
If we use the metaphor of heaven's movement of things, spring and summer are life, and autumn and winter are death. The vitality of autumn and winter is hidden in the earth. The branches and leaves are dry, but the roots are strong. It is not that autumn and winter are eliminated and there is nothing left.
The essence of "spring and autumn" will not disappear because of the rotation of a year.
The hot and humid air of a steamer is flourishing and must go somewhere. If the cover is tight, it will be stagnant and not dispersed. These things will transform into each other. It seems that no one knows where to go, but they will return to the earth. But in fact, the flames that have been ignited will be extinguished and become flames, smoke, and ashes. However, the wood will still be wood, the water will still be water, and the earth will still be earth. It's just that they are faint and invisible.
Matter gathers and forms, and disperses and returns to the void. Qi is still qi.
Gathering and visible, dispersing and invisible, how can its body be unsatisfactory and false?
Therefore, gathering is also my body, dispersing is also my body, knowing that death is not extinction, can talk about nature.
This is the source of Li Qi's immortality.
But the other party is not like this.
"So fast, really amazing, and so sensitive, just touch and find the difference, still investigating my way, but... it's okay to tell you." A voice came to Li Qi's ears.
To be precise, this is not a voice, but a message.
"Things are like this, let alone those who are intangible and cannot be imagined. There has never been a hard-earned accumulation of years, and once it all turns into nothing, it is clear, so we say coming and going, bending and stretching, gathering and dispersing, and living and dead, but not talking about birth and death."
Li Qi frowned: "Oh, this is overturning the foundation of Buddhism. If you say so, you are not a demon."
Buddha and demons have a lot of similarities in their foundations. The two are similar to human witches. Although their views are completely opposite, they are actually built on the same foundation.
"Birth and death are just the vulgar sayings of Buddhism. If it is said that everything is dispersed without any residue, then where is the place where the Taiji is received and returned to in the chaos? It is also said that the creation is renewed every day without using its cause, but I am different. In this Taixu, I have obtained this endlessness, and I will eventually die but not be exhausted. This is the immortality beyond you." This third-grade person answered.
"Well... then, why do you want to stop me?" Li Qi just nodded, and then continued to fight with the other party, while asking the reason.
He has realized that this is the difference between the two cognitions of the origin of the universe being "existence" and "non-existence", which is actually the idea of the Chongyou faction in the "dispute between existence and non-existence".
Is there a fundamental ultimate existence above the heaven and earth? This is something that many Taoist views are contradictory.
Based on the immortality of the other party, coupled with his contempt for the Buddha and the devil, then Li Qi can draw a conclusion.
The other party is not the devil, but the spirit!
He was indeed somewhat surprised. He did not expect that after making trouble in the Desire Realm for a long time, it was not the demons who came to stop him, but the spirits who were obviously not concerned.
It happened so fast that it seemed that a long time had passed, and even the real universe of the Desire Realm was folded by Li Qi with gravity as the center line, but in fact, all this happened within ten picoseconds.
Then, these ten picoseconds.
It was retraced.
Everything, everything, did not happen.
Then, it was repeated again.
Then, retracing.
Repeat, retracing, repeat, retracing, repeat, retracing——
In these ten picoseconds, the basic structure of the universe, the sudden change of yin and yang, death and life, ancient and modern, all reversed back and forth thousands of times.
But these thousands of times added up to less than one millisecond.
The attack and defense continued in this millisecond. Whether it was Li Qi or the other party, their carriers were shattered hundreds of times. This was simply "mutual instant kill".
As long as the opponent touches it, it means the death of the physical body. When the physical body collapses, it will inevitably need to use the "Tao" of the main body to reshape it, because a carrier that exists in reality is necessary to interfere with reality and perform magic. Even if it is not a physical body, it must interfere with reality in other ways.
It's just that Li Qi is more accustomed to the physical body, while the opponent constructs his own way of interfering with the world in a way similar to "pure spirit".
In this process, both sides are constantly understanding each other through fluctuations and information, and analyzing and understanding their enemies' cognition and construction of the origin of the world in repeated attacks and defenses.
For the battle of the third rank, physical destruction is fine, anyway, it has no effect.
The key is to really find the loopholes in the opponent's cognitive system in constructing the world.
However, since they have reached the third rank, their strict structure is impossible to find flaws easily, so this kind of hot war will inevitably develop to "beat you until you have flaws". In terms of specific performance, it is to create all kinds of extreme environments that you are good at, and then find the "paradox" in the opponent's interpretation in the extreme environment.
For example, the super gravity brought by Li Qi's folded universe, and the use of gravity to replace the aggregation of compounds, is an extreme environment, which is to test whether the other party can interpret this situation. If it cannot be done or the interpretation is problematic, then Li Qi will launch an attack from this aspect.
This is what both sides did in retrospect.
After thousands of attempts, they not only had super gravity, but also had many problems such as star tides, chaos soup, abnormal constants, etc.
Sometimes, it is the sum of harmonic series that cannot be taken, and sometimes, it is the analytical extension that cannot be expressed. If the old law is no longer valid, then what is the new way of operation in the field that was originally constrained by it?
Li Qi and the spiritual Dao in front of him are engaged in such a war.
This cannot even be described, because they are constantly reshaping reality every moment, and the creatures in the Desire Realm Universe are not aware of this at all.
Because... when reality is reshaped, they will also be reshaped.
They cannot realize that they have changed, because in their eyes, there is no change.
The universe should be like this, and it is naturally like this.
A world, originally dominated by the white king, and then suddenly, the world line was reshaped and replaced by the black king.
So, in the eyes of the black king, he has ruled the world from the beginning, and has nothing to do with the white king. What is that?
Although their world only appeared in one second, in terms of the "setting", all this is originally like this.
Because of the setting, the memory of the past is also given. Although they officially appeared in the last second at the beginning of their lives, all the past is fictional, but in their own eyes, it is obviously not the case.
You must stand at the perspective of the fourth rank or above to see all this, otherwise you will only think that you are ‘real’.
This is the difference in reality.
A world suddenly appeared in the void, with a complete history and heritage, everyone has their own memories, but these memories... did they really happen? How can they ensure that they were not created by someone in the last second?
This difference in reality is the reason why a large number of fifth rank people collapsed when they touched the fourth rank.
Li Qi now truly realized... If the battle of the third rank is not restricted, how big will the impact be, how many will be affected...?
The battle between Li Qi and this unknown third rank existence has reshaped the universe of the desire world thousands of times, and no innocent people have died because of it, but they have been constantly distorted, and it is even difficult to describe whether they are still their original selves...
All existence seems so empty, and everything that these creatures are obsessed with and love is destroyed and reshaped under the power of the third rank, but they know nothing.
So, from this perspective, in the real universe of matter, the war has not been able to be like this, and the reason why everything can develop stably... I am afraid there is only one reason.
God.
It is the gods who protect this world.
But there are no gods in the Desire Realm.
The demons are too lazy to care at this moment.
So the battle will only continue to spread to the mortal world.
