Chapter 694: Internal fighting.

These words were quite severe; while accusing the Human Dao, they also told Haotian, if you don't manage such matters, then "Who is to blame for what happens above in the Heavens? Alas?"

Whose fault is it? It's your fault, Haotian, why didn't you intervene? Your fair treatment of all things directly led to the rise of the Human Dao, and the damage the Human Dao inflicted upon the world and the First Gods was all due to your inaction.

These words could be considered treasonous. Li Qi indeed hesitated for a while at that moment, but he thought about it, just as the previous sacrificial text stated...

"It is said that only virtue Moves the Heavens, and only sincerity touches the Gods. What is sincere within must manifest outwardly and cannot be hidden."

So, he decided to speak his mind.

However, after saying this, the latter half of Li Qi's sacrificial text changed tone and continued:

"The Human Dao's deceitful heart, rebellious nature, and hidden ambitions are not new. Their power is already established, beyond the reach of Heavenly Gods. Even with mighty armies and fierce generals, success would be difficult, and the nature of the natives is unstable, prone to rebellion. Considering the grave responsibility of this region, one must assess the situation and circumstances, prioritize righteousness over profit. I humbly request the Imperial Heavens to issue a decree, to appoint a Heavenly General, so that the Heavenly Punishment may be justly named, and grant us the authority of Heavenly Punishment to conquer Tang."

"I ask the Heavenly Gods to decide with great righteousness, never to hesitate or be indecisive, to scheme carelessly, or to act rashly, lest Divine Might be diminished and the matter be compromised. Whether this matter succeeds or fails, it will not hinder our combined efforts to fight to the death, to break their schemes and crush their vanguard."

"The sacrificial rites are complete. The Imperial Heavens are above, our sincerity is profound and reverent, knowing that sincere virtue can Move them. If it aligns with the seals, the great mandate will gather. The Imperial Heavens and the Earth are truly unwavering, the Gods' judgment rests on virtue, and blessings descend from the Heavens. We bow our heads and receive the blessings of the Heavens, receiving the blessings of the Heavens."

The sacrificial text was finished, the rites were complete, and combined with Li Qi's understanding of Haotian's General, and what was happening in the Immortal Heaven at that moment, Li Qi even subtly hinted at Yao Ji's existence at the end.

This set of sacrificial rites would only yield two results.

First, the sacrifice would be interrupted. In that case, they might find the reason why the opposing side caused their physical bodies to collapse. Even if it wasn't interrupted, it could provide Li Qi with inspiration and help eliminate incorrect options.

The second result would be what happened now: the sacrifice was successful, and Haotian granted permission.

As for the sacrifice being successful but Haotian not responding?

Li Qi had not considered that possibility.

Yao Ji had already arrived, Zhu Fengdan had even been taken by Haotian, and Li Qi had previously directly faced Yao Ji's Haotian General. With so many buffs, is it possible that Haotian himself was unaware?

With the information about Haotian's General, Li Qi could easily modify the sacrificial rites and send this text directly before the other party.

Was this a coincidence?

It couldn't be a coincidence; it was just a matter of whether he could discover it.

Evidently, Li Qi discovered it.

And the Utmost Person before him could absolutely not have discovered it, because the other party had just awakened from his body. He couldn't possibly have memories of these events. For him, he had just awakened and even needed to guess what he was facing.

In this situation, being able to guess to this extent was already like cheating, especially since he was currently inside the Immortal Heaven, completely unable to perceive other situations through Karma. Li Qi was taking advantage of the other party having just awakened and being completely in the dark.

The success of all these plans ultimately resulted in a single word: 'Approved.'

Haotian's permission instantly increased the power of the lightning spell significantly!

The lightning spell was Heavenly Punishment!

The sacrificial text Li Qi wrote requested that this true 'Heaven' acknowledge the Little Heavenly Master's lightning spell as true Heavenly Lightning, as a Divine General's lightning, and as Heavenly Punishment permitted by Haotian!

With this acknowledgment, the Little Heavenly Master immediately felt a sharp decrease in the consumption of his own power.

He suddenly felt that his lightning spell no longer required his own magical power.

If the previous lightning spell was something he paid for himself, then... what he was using now was public funds, and both the quality and Rank would be significantly higher than before.

This was support from the Heavenly Court.

Nothing more, a Divine General responsible for Heavenly Punishment can naturally mobilize the power of Heaven and Earth. As office supplies and consumables, you naturally don't need to pay out of your own pocket, and lightning itself is a manifestation of 'Heaven's Will.'

What appeared at this moment was a Little Heavenly Master with no magical power limit, no output limit, and nearly 'infinite' power!

The Little Heavenly Master's previous output limit was his own output limit.

Now, his output limit was his control limit.

The difference between these two was huge.

It's roughly equivalent to: before, electricity bills mainly depended on how much money you had, so you had to calculate the recovery and electricity consumption to ensure continuous power usage.

Now, electricity bills mainly depend on how many electrical appliances you have. Anyway, the public electricity is infinite; you can use as much as you want. As long as you have the ability, you can have as much as you need.

How many electrical appliances did the Little Heavenly Master have?

He didn't know. He hadn't tried.

Now he could try.

"All magical power is under my control for defense; you will be the main attacker next," Li Qi immediately said.

"Alright, you're in charge," the Little Heavenly Master said with a joyful expression.

The previous magical power distribution was 75% for the Little Heavenly Master's attack and 25% for Li Qi's defense.

Now, the defensive magical power increased by a full four times, and the defensive strength also roughly increased by two to three times.

And the attacking magical power... was no longer limited. The power of Heaven and Earth, after Haotian's command, actively allowed the Little Heavenly Master to command it!

This was almost the same power as Yao Ji!

With just a word, a single character, or even just an attitude, one could mobilize the power of Heaven and Earth. When Yao Ji wanted to bathe, with just a word, a Mountain Spirit's Spiritual Qi was actively drawn by her.

At this moment, Haotian's single word 'Approved' mobilized a scope that Li Qi couldn't even fathom!

The Heavenly Emperor's word seemed to command even the entire Universe.

Immediately, a new round of offense began!

What the Utmost Person waited for was not the Little Heavenly Master's weak period, but his berserk mode.

He frowned.

Difficult to handle.

The Little Heavenly Master's mastery of spells and the essence of lightning spells were already slightly stronger than his own Rank 4. Now that it had become like this, the situation was probably going to reverse.

Oh well, let's see if he can win quickly.

The Utmost Person reached out, and the aura around him shifted.

Originally, he used Rank 4 Moves and Rank 4 methods. After all, he had fallen in Rank, and theoretically, he couldn't use Rank 3 things, as the pressure would be too great.

But it was only difficult to use due to pressure, not that he had forgotten these methods.

He hadn't lost his memory. He could still use Rank 3 things if he pushed himself.

The opponent had already reached this level, so the idea of suppressing them with technical skill could be abandoned.

In the current state... if he used Rank 3 Moves, he could use... five Moves.

Five Moves, lasting perhaps less than one-thousandth of a second.

In other words, the outcome would be decided within one-thousandth of a second.

The Utmost Person was very decisive and stretched out his hand.

"He's serious; he's going to decide the outcome," Li Qi said.

The Little Heavenly Master said nothing, but confidently unleashed his Dharma Idol.

His Dharma Idol was himself. At the same time, Li Qi also unleashed his Dharma Idol.

The Utmost Person, however, glanced at the Dharma Idols.

"So it's you two... Zhang Zong, Li Qi." Through the Dharma Idols, he immediately identified his enemies' origins.

That raised his win rate by a few points.

From 80% to 99%.

Yes, his win rate was 99%.

Rank 3 Moves were not something Li Qi and these others could withstand.

Outside the Void Realm, Shamansan turned around.

Zhu Fengdan turned her head in confusion: "Shaman God... are you not watching anymore?"

"No need to watch anymore, it's time to get to business," Shamansan said casually. "The negotiations with the Immortal Heaven afterward will be entirely up to you. Your Master... and your father, for now, won't have any problems, you don't need to worry."

"There's no need to mention my father's matters. As for Master, I've never worried about him, after all... he's Wu Geng," Zhu Fengdan waved her hand slightly. "Then I'll handle the Immortal Heaven' matters, but... Shaman God, why are you so sure this kid will win? Are you already preparing for a celebration?"

"Geng... that name is indeed rarely mentioned anymore. Also, your disciple is not inferior to you back then. Don't underestimate him too much. What he lacks is only a foundation. Compared to those who quickly rise to prominence, he is more suited to a slower pace. Give him some time, after all, just like now, how many billions of times has he gone through the Reincarnation?" Shamansan smiled, then disappeared from his spot.

Zhu Fengdan, however, heard these words and was somewhat incredulous.

Reincarnation, or peculiar cosmic light, is very common in the Universe, so in a sense, it can be said to be everywhere, but few people would throw their disciples into it for cultivation.

Firstly, time itself is not valuable. Where you cultivate is not important, and there's no need to forcibly shorten cultivation time. To be honest, only low-Rank cultivators benefit from accumulating time, and for them, even without accelerating time, an extra few hundred or thousand years are but a blink of an eye in front of beings capable of manipulating peculiar cosmic light. Few Great Powers have that leisure.

Secondly, for cultivators above Rank 5, once you leave the low Ranks, cultivating in isolation is a very foolish choice, unless it's a problem that must be solved by oneself. At other times, one needs to absorb the knowledge and insights of others, and constantly compare with the outside world. This requires their time to be at least synchronized, and the recognized synchronized time is the 'basic' cosmic light flow rate most common outside the domains.

For low-Rank people, accumulating time is meaningless. For high-Rank people, accumulating time is even more meaningless; it's completely unnecessary. Unless you are in a great hurry, the benefits of distorting time are pitifully low.

Yes, you distort time, spending decades or a century, and in the eyes of outsiders, you go from unranked to Rank 8 within a second.

Then what?

What then?

And when you reach Rank 5, you enter peculiar cosmic light. Without the constantly updated knowledge and insights from the outside world to help you, without constant comparison to the outside world, you can only accumulate cultivation. Is it really useful for your Dao path?

Finally, you still have to spend the same amount of time in other worlds to make up for the external knowledge. This kind of thing becomes particularly unnecessary.

However...

For Li Qi, it seemed different.

The external experiences Li Qi had were somewhat too few compared to other Rank 5 cultivators.

He seemed to truly be a Genius who could break through by contemplating in isolation, and the Shaman God said he lacked a foundation...

Hmm, I'll set up a special peculiar cosmic light place for him to try later.

Thinking this, Zhu Fengdan saw that a thousandth of a second later, the outcome was decided.

The Shaman God had already spoken, so the result was clear.

The Rank 3 Moves were deciphered by Li Qi.

Zhu Fengdan blinked.

The Shaman God's eyesight was truly sharp.

He only understood what had just happened after it occurred. Before that, even he hadn't thought of such a possibility; he had subconsciously overlooked it.

Under normal circumstances, such a thing would be impossible.

Actually, it's quite simple.

That is... Li Qi directly withstood the Utmost Person's Rank 3 burst.

After enduring that thousandth of a second, the other party's Inner World became chaotic due to the overly powerful force unleashed, forcing him to lose combat capability.

Rank 3 power, even if you were once Rank 3, cannot be used easily.

It's just that this power was too strong, and Zhu Fengdan had completely not expected Li Qi to be able to withstand it.

But the Shaman God saw it.

Zhu Fengdan immediately began to review. Everything that just happened was seen by him, and he could easily deduce how Li Qi did it.

First, Li Qi was not intimidated by the Rank 3 aura. Hmm... this should be attributed to himself. He should be used to it by now. So, during the first wave of deterrence, although the Little Heavenly Master was suppressed, causing a delayed reaction, Li Qi easily handled it, immediately took over the body, and completed the first wave of defense.

Next, he needed to directly face the Rank 3 Moves, and there was no trickery involved here; he had to take them head-on. Zhu Fengdan was very curious how Li Qi managed it.

However, after watching, Zhu Fengdan couldn't help but clap his hands and laugh, rocking back and forth.

Good, good!

All five Moves, Li Qi perfectly withstood them, and the Moves he used were beyond Zhu Fengdan's expectation.

He used the differences between Haotian and the Immortal Heaven.

In other words, Li Qi had already found his own answer regarding the difference between 'Haotian' and 'Immortal Heaven.'

Using this difference, combined with Haotian's recent approval, and the disparity in his own Immortal Heaven' Dao integration, Li Qi pointed out an answer. This answer came from the 'natural' state guided by the Divine Dao.

Li Qi gave the natural answer that should exist, a power that transcended Rank 5. If before, when he integrated with the Dao, Li Qi used the 'Immortal Heaven'' Dao to complete Rank 4, achieving a state beyond rules, then now... he completed what a Rank 4 should complete on his own.

Billions of Reincarnations, plus the comparison between the Immortal Heaven and Haotian, he obtained his own answer.

At this moment, Li Qi transcended reality and reached Rank 4. From then on, the 'Heavenly Dao Limit' would not be his limit; his limit would be the 'My Dao Limit,' because his Dao had already covered the Heavenly Dao. As long as he wanted, he could easily break through the speed of light.

As for the paradox after breaking through the speed of light, that was a paradox that appeared in the Dao of the real world; it didn't apply to Li Qi. He had his own Dao, his own interpretation of the world.

Around Li Qi was another parallel world with different rules. The Dao of this world was entirely interpreted by Li Qi himself; it only needed to be self-consistent.

Although he hadn't reached the state of self-existence and eternal presence, it was already complete enough for him to proudly pat his chest and say that he was truly a Rank 4!

But this was not enough, as he had to face a Rank 3.

However, Li Qi used an even more ingenious thing to bridge this final gap—

That is, at this moment, both of them were integrated with the Dao.

Essentially, they were both part of the Immortal Heaven.

This was an internal conflict.
