Chapter 333 Things That Don’t Exist

Li Qi immediately bowed respectfully: "I am all ears."

The Grand Tutor sat down where Li Qi was originally sitting and asked: "Do you know why the Heavenly Demon came to you?"

Li Qi did not hide anything and said his guess: "I dare to guess, it should be... because of my identity as an outsider?"

"You are right, it is because of this, but your outsider is not the same as ordinary outsiders, so I am going to tell you in detail and answer your doubts." The Grand Tutor said.

Li Qi lowered his head: "Are you worried about what the Heavenly Demon said at the end?"

Hearing Li Qi's doubts, the old man nodded: "Yes, I am a little worried. You are indeed a very curious person. If I hide too much from you, I am afraid you will really go to the Heavenly Demon to seek answers."

The Grand Tutor sighed: "So, I will answer a lot of things with you, but I hope you believe me, there are some things that you really shouldn't know."

"You haven't completely become a demon yet, you can't bear some shocks on the road, not telling you is really for your own good."

"I understand, then... can I ask?" Li Qi raised his head and said.

He really had too many doubts.

He needed answers.

Perhaps what Tianmo said was right. Li Qi's curiosity was the biggest weakness of his Tao heart.

This was an irrepressible curiosity. The original reason why Li Qi even practiced was to witness things he had never witnessed before.

"Ask." The Taifu nodded.

Then, Li Qi immediately asked: "May I ask the Taifu, what exactly is the external Tao?"

Hearing this question, the Taifu thought for a while. He touched his beard and looked up at the sky, as if he was considering how to tell Li Qi.

Because this question was a bit too big.

What is the external Tao?

How to describe it?

The Taifu pondered for a while, and then suddenly waved his hand.

The sky suddenly changed.

It was daytime, and the sky in Chang'an was blue, with clouds and strong winds swaying.

Then, suddenly, this sky turned into night, and the sun and the moon fell at the same time, turning into a bright starry sky.

The light of the stars seemed to be magnified, so the sky at this moment was particularly beautiful.

The star dragons in the deep valley howled sadly, the reflected stars shook, and the tiny part of the universe was invisible.

It was really, too spectacular, and the shock was almost indescribable.

Especially when Li Qi knew that the sky full of stars was actually a group of worlds.

This gorgeous picture was essentially a miracle composed of infinite space, infinite life, and even the infinite, gorgeous civilization they created.

Moreover, he understood that this starry sky was probably not fake, not an illusion.

It was real, repelling the sun and the moon in the world and letting the starry sky show.

I don’t know what the chaos outside is like now...

However, it doesn’t seem to be chaotic.

Because, the cosmic light seems to be still?

As long as you maintain this stagnant state, no matter what you do, restore everything before the cosmic light starts to flow again, then nothing will happen.

The power of the first rank... is really terrifying.

Li Qi stared at the starry sky, waiting for the Taifu’s answer to his question.

After the Grand Master waved his hand to spread out the starry sky, he said, "To talk about the outside world, you must first know the composition of the universe."

"Li Qi, the witches and shamans will specialize in studying celestial phenomena, so you should know that this starry sky is exactly the same in all worlds. Do you know why?"

It has been said before that the sky is the same in all worlds.

The four phases, the Big Dipper, the twenty-eight constellations, these stars that can be seen in the world will not disappear just because you change the world, or because of their own position changes, causing the stars to change.

All worlds share the same starry sky, and even the position will not change, just like using the same map.

If there is a change, it is the revelation of the stars to mortals, indicating that the world is about to change.

"I don't know." Li Qi replied immediately.

He really doesn't know. Although he understands that there is such a phenomenon, he is still at a loss as to what it means behind it.

"Because the world itself cannot see the stars." The Grand Master said so.

"The stars that are now displayed in front of all the worlds were hung up in the sky by the star officials little by little. Each star represents a star official, not a shining world."

"It was the star officials of the ancient times who jointly forged the Star Avenue, thereby intervening in the movement of the sun and the moon, and becoming one of the three talents of the sun, moon and stars."

"Originally, only a few worlds had natural stars, but the star officials expanded this to all worlds, making the starry sky a standard feature of all worlds."

Hearing this answer, Li Qi felt terrified.

The starry sky... was forged by humans?

Did the star officials...hang it up one by one?

The world itself has no stars? In other words, there is no such bright light to be seen between the worlds. Originally, all worlds should only have the sun and the moon? Even without the sun and the moon?

Is the way of the sun and the moon also forged by others?

Li Qi didn't dare to think about it.

But the Taifu continued to ask him: "Do you know what this means?"

He looked at Li Qi.

This time, Li Qi didn't want to say that he didn't know, so he lowered his head and thought about what this meant.

Li Qi is a smart man, and he quickly found the key.

Not every world has stars, nor does it have sun and moon.

It's hard to say about the sun and moon. After all, in Li Qi's understanding, the sun and moon are actually stars and satellites, although they are different in the world...

The sun and moon in the world are the same size, and the sun and the moon are essentially the same. There is no one who is more noble than the other.

But in other world groups, Li Qi knows, such as Dousu Liu, where he has been, is an entire world group, hundreds of thousands of worlds, sharing a pair of sun and moon.

These world groups revolve around the same pair of sun and moon.

So what does this mean?

It means that the thing called "sun, moon and stars" is not universal.

The sun, moon and stars themselves have their own limitations. They are not like the laws of physics, which can be effective wherever they are placed.

So this means...

The way of the world is not universal.

The rules of the world are calculated by each.

This is actually a very scary thing, because if you think about it, on Earth, the entire universe follows the same set of laws.

But here, Li Qi suddenly realized something.

Each world follows different laws!

He misunderstood.

This "universe" in the world is not the universe that Li Qi understands!

As if seeing Li Qi's expression, the master nodded: "Now do you understand? What is the outside world?"

"In the endless outside world, there are countless world groups. The worlds in the world groups are large and small. The large ones include the universe, the small ones are round and square, and there are even some strange worlds, such as the world carried by turtles stacked up layer by layer, and giants who play with the world as a ball, etc."

"The universe refers to all time and space, not a single system." The master said.

And Li Qi also understood.

He always thought... the outside world is actually the universe he originally understood.

The world, although a little strange, should be no different from a planet.

But after listening to the master's words, he understood.

The world and the planet are very different.

According to the status, the entire universe where the earth is located is probably just a "world" on the side of the world.

The observable universe that spans hundreds of billions of light years is just a "world".

Hundreds of billions of light years... this distance.

Maybe... a first-class world?

No, it's hard to say.

Li Qi knew too little about that level, he had no way of knowing, and he couldn't judge.

However, a conclusion can be drawn.

The entire outer domain is not a universe composed of planets and galaxies.

But a 'multiverse' composed of one world after another?

Taifu said: "So, this is the outer way, a world different from the world you know, with completely different rules."

"But, the outer way is also different."

"For example, in the infinite worlds outside the domain, many of these worlds share the same avenue, and all kinds of constants are the same, but the arrangement of them is different, so this is the nearest outer way. Have you seen the Golden Platform?"

Li Qi nodded, he had seen many world groups on the Golden Platform.

He knew that these world groups were worlds that could be rushed to quickly. Taking the Golden Platform's transportation, even if it was countless billions of light years away, it could be easily reached within a few hours.

"The world included in the Golden Platform is the world unified by the same avenue. The worlds inside have almost been assimilated by the world." Taifu said a terrifying fact calmly.

"The world outside the Golden Platform, such as the sixth-grade world in your hands, is a world with great differences. The basic laws are roughly the same as our universe, but the constants may be slightly different, which can produce more specialties. These specialties are also one of the driving forces for the world to expand outward. This is the second farthest external path."

"There are even more distant external paths, which only existed in conjecture before. That is, even the most fundamental avenue is different, and the various settings and constants are completely different."

The Grand Tutor looked at Li Qi and said calmly: "This third-farthest external path is where you come from. It was a conjecture before, but not now."

Li Qi's breathing stagnated.

This external path is indeed a bit far away.

"Of course, there is also the fourth and farthest one, but that is even more nonsense. It is talking about a completely different avenue from what we know. There is no similarity at all. This is not even a complete conjecture, just like a dream."

"Do you understand? What is an external path, and the importance of the external path in you." The Grand Tutor said.

Li Qi bowed again: "I understand, but I have another question, Tianmo, why do you think so highly of me?"

"Why? Well... for transcendence." The Grand Master pondered for a moment, and this time he answered quickly.

"Transcendence?" Li Qi frowned.

Transcend what? A dignified first-class person, is there anything he can't transcend?

Even the physical laws of reality can't control him. He can modify the world at will, fiddle with the light of the universe, trample on space, and even people's memories and thoughts can be easily erased and rewritten.

Li Qi couldn't figure out what else could prevent him from transcending.

Facing Li Qi's doubts, the Grand Master replied: "Li Qi, do you know the weaknesses and characteristics of the magic path?"

Li Qi immediately replied: "I know a little bit... or Tianmo told me just now."

The Grand Master said he knew, and then explained to him: "The Demonic Path believes that everything is empty and hollow, and only one's own heart is real. So for their path, how to fill their hearts is the most important thing."

"And the Heavenly Demon of Transformation and Freedom is naturally the strongest among them. His human body is also called the Desire Realm, or the Heaven of Transformation and Freedom, the Heaven of Demons."

"In the Desire Realm, everything in the outside world can be reproduced here and satisfied. All your desires and pursuits can be satisfied in the Desire Realm. You can even pursue the Tao in the Desire Realm. The Tao of the outside world can be reproduced in the Desire Realm, which is no different from that in other worlds, and it is practical."

"That is a...dreamlike world, which is built by the Heavenly Demon with all his knowledge, intelligence, and all the secondary Heavenly Demons throughout the heavens and the worlds as everything he sees."

Li Qi listened to the Grand Master's description of the Desire Realm, and his heart was a little numb.

What can't these first-class beings do?

What meaning does this world have for them?

Reversing time and space, reversing cause and effect, and making your wish come true. Now the Desire Realm can easily copy everything in the heavens and the worlds. For the Heavenly Demon, this world is something he fabricated at will.

What else does he pursue?

At this time, the Grand Master knocked on Li Qi's head and said to him: "This is the characteristic of the Demonic Path, but at the same time, it is also the weakness of the Demonic Path."

Li Qi immediately became respectful and pricked up his ears to listen to the weakness of the Demonic Path.

"The Demonic Path has built a complete world in its heart. This world itself is impeccable and perfect, but... perfection means being self-contained."

"He is a free demon, famous for his changes, but when a thing has all the changes at the same time, it is equivalent to losing the ability to change. When he changes into reality, can his heart still transcend reality?"

Hearing the Grand Master's question, Li Qi fell into deep thought.

He was thinking about the answer to the question in his heart.

What the Grand Master meant was-

The small world of the human body of the Demonic Path is destined to be unable to transcend reality. The Desire Realm has included everything in reality, but it is always difficult to transcend.

This is the shackles of the devil, the infinite shackles that imprison the free and independent demon.

Even if there is no struggle in your body, you can set it up as you like, and all the parameters can be adjusted at will, can you make something more exquisite than the real world?

If you want to be more exquisite than reality, you need to transcend reality itself.

It is impossible, it cannot be done.

The reason why it cannot be done is also very simple.

Can people imagine something that does not exist?

Or put it another way.

Can the demon use his method of change to create something that does not exist in the real world?

Wait, as a person of the third level of the outsider...

Is it the "things that the demon cannot imagine"?
