Chapter 718 Mothership
In the ruins, more than a dozen seventh-grade insects surrounded Li Qi as if they were facing a formidable enemy, and the leader shouted out the truth that Li Qi was not from the Forward Alliance.
The people of the Forward Alliance could not do this. Their understanding of martial arts was so superficial that it was ridiculous. They did not even have the divine will of martial arts. They were beaten back by the surprise attack right from the start.
However, although the man in front of him did not have the divine will of martial arts, his martial arts were ridiculously superb.
The masters' fighting seemed fierce, but the insect leader only felt that his fists and legs were stagnant, as if every move was expected by the opponent. Li Qi was like a prophet who could always intercept the insect leader's moves from the middle, making it difficult for him to exert his full strength. He swung his sword with 100% of his strength, but he could not even exert half of it, and all of it was spent on self-conflict.
The combined forces that formed his attack, provoked by Li Qi, rebelled individually, like a neat and fast flow of cars, suddenly one car braked, and then the cars behind all rear-ended each other, causing a series of major car accidents, blocking the entire road, and no car could get out.
It was so mysterious that he couldn't understand how it was done, but the other party did it. This was not the work of the Forward Alliance, but more... other advanced civilizations.
And the person in front of him was undoubtedly a mortal. No matter how he observed, he could only observe that the other party's cultivation was exactly the same as that of a mortal, and it didn't look like he had practiced.
But with the help of the mecha, the other party did something incredible.
"You are not from the Forward Alliance, which world are you from?"
In the face of the other party's horrified inquiry, Li Qi just smiled, and then said: "You are not qualified to know, I say it again, I want to go to your mother nest, lead the way."
This made the insect leader obviously fall into some kind of entanglement.
But he was a warrior after all, so he made a decision quickly and asked, "Tell me your purpose, otherwise you will get nothing."
"No purpose, I just want to see what kind of civilization invaded the Forward Alliance, that's all. Logically, there should be a delicate balance in the illusionary domain... It's not common for you to do this."
"After the balance is broken, a new balance will soon be formed. The real balance lies in the rules behind it, not the status quo. Breaking the status quo does not break the real balance." The insect leader suddenly said something very philosophical.
This surprised Li Qi.
This couldn't be what this person said, so Li Qi said, "Is there a wise man among your race? Then I'm more interested. Then I'll tell you now that my purpose is to meet the person who said this, how about it?" Li Qi said.
"That's what I said - come, come and see me." The insect leader continued, and his terrifying mouth even showed an indescribable 'smile'.
The other insects around immediately knelt down, and they all realized the arrival of some kind of power.
"Oh?" Li Qi immediately looked at the other party: "Are you the mother nest?"
"Yes, I am from another advanced civilization. I allow you to come to see me, but... put away your arrogance, there is something behind me that you can't imagine." The mother nest took over the body of the insect leader through some means and said so.
"Can't imagine? Tell me, I'm very curious." Li Qi said.
"Behind us is 'the world', I'll say it all, and the rest will wait for you to see me." After saying that, the leader suddenly fell to the ground, and it was obvious that his will was taken away.
Li Qi was really interested.
The world, is there someone in the world behind this invasion?
It's really interesting, no wonder——
Li Qi's curiosity really arose, mainly... the relationship between these insects and the mother nest is a bit surprising.
First of all, does the relationship between these insects and the mother nest have anything to do with the answer to the 'higher wisdom' he wants? After all, 'self' itself is an important component of higher wisdom.
Moreover, these insects practice martial arts. Li Qi thinks that martial arts divine will is actually closely related to higher wisdom.
Martial arts divine will is the influence of completely subjective will on the objective world. This influence can even affect the subjective will of others. It is no problem to say that it distorts reality.
This insect nest plundering civilization in front of him has both collective wisdom like a bee colony and individual will. In addition, they mainly practice martial arts, which just meets Li Qi's requirements.
Li Qi thinks it's worth a look.
As for what the Forward Alliance will face after that?
Wars between civilizations are like this. Li Qi will not intervene, even if the good guy Mo Taki actually left a lot of impressions on him.
But like most people, Mo Taki is just a small story in Li Qi's life. The long river of time flows by the immortal, but it can never take him away. It can only leave slight traces on his body, but even these traces will soon be washed away by other traces, and eventually no trace can be found.
In such a life, how can we not get rid of the perspective of mortals? How can one feel enough for those lives that pass by so quickly?
Li Qi shook his head, put his hands behind his back, and while thinking about this, he followed the respectful insects and flew towards the world-class giant ship in the sky.
Inside the world-class giant ship is the mother nest.
However, there is not only the mother nest on it.
Halfway through, Li Qi asked these bugs and found that they were also a typical fusion civilization. There was not only one civilization on the world-class ship. On the contrary, there was a strong man from the "immortal world" who ruled five civilizations. On that world-class ship, the strong man was the ultimate leader, driving this world-class ship, galloping and plundering in the starry sky.
The mother nest is just one of them.
When these bugs talked about the high-ranking existence from the world, they always talked about the "immortal world", constantly describing the other party's strength, using words like "great race", "infinite possibilities", "subverting cause and effect and time and space", "unimaginable great existence" to describe their background, as if it was a very powerful thing to have a cultivator from the world standing behind them.
However, in fact, it is indeed so.
That is the immortal world, the center of the heavens and the worlds, the undoubted overlord of this universe, which can almost crush and destroy all worlds below the first rank.
If the world is willing to join forces, and the nine lands of the world are willing to join hands, then unless all the worlds outside the domain, including those outside the domain, join forces at the same time, there is absolutely no possibility of survival.
For those knowledgeable practitioners outside the domain, the world is like a holy land, with countless titles, and even the pinnacle of "ascension" is the world.
However, apart from these, Li Qi also asked them why they did this.
The insects did not hide it. They told Li Qi very frankly that the reason why they chose to move forward with the alliance this time and let the mother nest go out was because the mother nest was good at dealing with this kind of civilization that was more material but ignored the mind.
The insects in the mother nest practiced completely relying on "willpower". Almost all of their lives were warriors. They were born to establish a spiritual connection with the mother nest. They had extraordinary talents in the understanding of martial arts and divine will, and whether it was martial arts divine will or other qi will, they could have special feelings for the spiritual world.
In Li Qi's words, this is a "psychic race".
They are not interested in the basic laws of matter, the so-called "objective and real science". In fact, they are almost completely dependent on their own bodies and have no intention of developing technology.
This race is almost completely opposite to the Forward Alliance, but they know the Forward Alliance very well, but the Forward Alliance has never seen such an extreme psychic race.
This also led to the great defeat at the beginning, because they had no technology to resist this level of psychic power.
Just like Suetaki was manipulated by the flesh and blood egg at the last moment of his life, similar things happened in other places.
Many key nodes of the Forward Alliance were controlled.
All this even made Li Qi feel a little too coincidental.
If he didn't know that he was now under the watchful eyes of the witch god and that he could also observe his own causal line, it would be impossible for anyone to knead him at will. He would have doubted whether this was a new "God's will".
Li Qi almost forgot what it felt like to go back in time. After all, he is now a fourth-grade person and is no longer an individual who can be easily traced back. Although he does not have the ability to trace back others, with the help of the parallel world interpreted by his "own way", he can even remain motionless in the time flow.
He has already initially acquired basic reality, which is part of the characteristics of the fourth rank.
So Li Qi can be sure that he is not manipulated by others, and the so-called will of heaven and retracing cannot control him either. Therefore, what he encounters now is probably just a coincidence.
Maybe this is luck.
The journey was very smooth, and Li Qi soon arrived at the sky. At this highest point, he looked down.
"There are so many flesh and blood eggs." Li Qi exclaimed.
A large number of flesh and blood eggs, which are shaped based on the civilians of the Forward Alliance, condensed into a network in this world. This is a network condensed purely by subjective consciousness, that is, the so-called "psychic energy".
"Collective brainwashing, after this thing is made, the cognition of all life in this world will be changed. No wonder you don't chase those hidden survivors. It turns out that it's not that you didn't find them, but it's unnecessary." Li Qi exclaimed.
The strategy of the mother nest is to brainwash the entire world, and it consumes local life. For them, they occupy a world with almost no loss.
It's really amazing.
The insects did not answer Li Qi, but sent Li Qi to the void outside the domain through an opening in the sky.
In the void, Li Qi was "eaten".
The world-class giant ship stretched out a tentacle thousands of miles long, and accurately ate Li Qi's team.
Li Qi found that it was not sticky inside, but very dry and clean. He seemed to be in a hard vesicle, and then was quickly carried inside.
After a while, he came to the inside of this world-class giant ship.
Really know the rhyme scan.
A fifth-grade giant ship, and it is also the top one among the five grades. This level of ship... Even in the human and witch ways, it can be used as a front-line war fleet to join the battle.
Sure enough, there are indeed practitioners from all over the world inside, otherwise, with the level of these fifth-grade civilizations outside the domain, it is impossible to build such a giant ship.
Li Qi, whose cultivation was sealed, could not see the interior of the entire giant ship with his own senses. Even if he used the True Knowing Rhythm, it was impossible to scan this ship that was larger than the world in a short time.
It was not that the True Knowing Rhythm was not good, but if he wanted to do this, Li Qi would definitely have to stay in a daze and process the data sent back.
After all, the density of matter was too large, and there were all kinds of magic, which was much larger than the information flow of scanning the void, and it was not easy to handle. There was no need to scan such a large range now.
Besides, there was a person from the world inside, at least he should respect the host a little, otherwise he would suffer at that time, and he could not die now.
If he died, the seal would be lifted, and then the demonic energy would contaminate the entire human body. It would take more than a day or two to change it back, and it would be very troublesome. If he could not change it, Li Qi might choose to reincarnate and cultivate again.
Sometimes, if there is a problem with cultivation, it is not so easy to change it. This is not as simple as changing the engine of a car. To be precise, it should be a heart change while alive, and you have to operate it while you are awake.
It is very difficult.
If you can change now, then it's better to change. If you can avoid death, then it's better not to die.
Li Qi was led by the insects to walk through this insect nest. Unexpectedly, this place is not a bloody and demonic cave or something. Instead, it is clean and tidy. Everyone lives in an ancient city similar to Tianxia.
Although the insects don't look very good, they seem to be polite. They even wear the clothes of the knights and warriors in Tianxia. They have high social literacy and even care for public facilities.
How to say...
So modern.
It's just that the insects' heads are too ugly, but it's okay. Li Qi's mind is not so broad that it can't tolerate this.
He is focusing on observing the other party's social form.
This is a typical ship civilization. They don't have their own world. Their ancestors have lived in world-class giant ships for generations. As the giant ships drift in the void, it is precisely because of this that they pay special attention to the reorganization and reuse of resources.
In other words...very environmentally friendly.
It's quite ironic. These bugs mess around in the world below, but they take great care of their ships. After all, world-class giant ships are different from the real world and do not have the self-iteration and repair capabilities of the world.
However, these bugs do not have the ability to manufacture industrial products, so these modern products should have been sent from other places, from other parts of the ship...
The five civilizations combined together always feel like a big formation.
