Chapter 807 The Cause and Effect of Debt
Qiu Zhi looked at Li Qi and said to him: "The Reform Ceremony is a symbol of the new era brought by the ancient saint emperors to future generations."
Yes, the ancient saint emperors defined "Reform" in this way. The succession of each ancient saint emperor is the beginning of a new era.
Therefore, Li Qi used the Reform Ceremony to symbolize his own capacity, and was ready to sacrifice his "Reform" to Baiyue, and finally swallow up the relics of the saint emperors completely.
Things will turn around when they reach their extremes, and things will change when they reach their extremes. It is natural that they should change. In the "Reform" hexagram, it is said that reform is a change, and water and fire are things that are mutually exclusive. Water extinguishes fire, and fire dries up water. They are also the ones who change each other. When the time is far away, there must be someone who reforms and renews it. It is mandated by heaven, so there is change, and the world calls it revolution.
Since Li Qi decided to create a new era——
"Then why can't this new era be human?"
After saying this, he launched an attack.
Just like that, Qiu Zhi slashed out with all his strength. Although this strength was nothing compared to the battle sixty years ago, it was enough to crush the battlefield.
Endless slashes, continuous, more and more violent, wave after wave, one wave higher than the other, connected into a long mountain range. The deep valleys between the mountains have begun to be terrifying. Under the increasingly gloomy sky, all these movements are becoming more and more violent, and the noise is getting louder and louder.
——————————
The war has begun.
Bai Di was seriously injured.
He could hardly feel the passage of time now, and could only feel that he seemed to have been carried on various stretchers for a long time.
After all, he was a seventh-grade soldier, and he could still be allocated a lot of medical resources. Those eighth-grade soldiers desperately sent him to the rear, and only occasionally took a break in the field hospital.
The doctors and pharmacists took care of him as much as possible, but under such harsh conditions, the side of his chest that was pierced by the humane mechanical beast could not heal, and it was filled with water and blood. Because of breathing, air continued to pour in from the unhealed wound, making a gurgling sound.
Cursed, he was surrounded by endless pain, pierced by indescribable pain, driven by the curse from the witch, wailing towards death.
He had to use all his reason to suppress his other emotions, lest his nails were disobedient and pinched his palms to blood.
However, this was of no avail, because his reason had already surrendered. In fact, not only his palms were pierced by nails, but even his tongue was bitten off. The doctors had to fill his mouth with a package made of herbs and cotton.
Now Bai Di was tortured by injuries. He was no longer the warrior who acted decisively, had a low voice, and acted decisively and decisively. All his virtues and pride, all of which were worn out in the long pain and exhausting curse.
The high fever in his body never subsided, and the damage to his inner world could not be healed.
The warrior became a child again, missing his hometown and family. He almost lost the ability to communicate, and only answered others with a gentle, weak, and almost inaudible voice.
His injuries were so serious, with the heat of the fever and the whirring sound in his injured chest.
The team transporting the wounded was attacked by the enemy. Although the enemy was repelled, many wounded died. Since the departure, in just half an hour, more than one team of wounded had died, and those who could still move had to throw their bodies away directly.
Because of this attack, his injuries were worsening and had reached the final stage. He had been lying on his side on the injured side, using all his remaining strength to press the wound with both hands to prevent the pus in his right lung from shaking, but the other lung was also infected, and the pain of death began.
Coupled with the curse, all kinds of hallucinations appeared in his dying mind. In the drowsy nightmare and darkness, many people or things he loved or hated came to swoop down on him, and he was forced to fall into a trance.
Bai Di was just one of them.
Millions of people were in this state.
The intensity of the war had reached its highest level at the beginning.
Two third-rank soldiers were fighting with their broken bodies, and Zhu Fengdan's other half of his head looked like it would not be saved.
Li Qi and Qiu Zhi, who were fourth-rank soldiers, were almost burning their lives.
The fifth-rank kings below were also fighting for their lives, because they knew that if they couldn't hold on, they would be completely gone, and if they held on, they could continue to be kings even in the Baiyue countries after the reform with their merits.
At this moment, the kings already knew the situation, and they had to continue to work for Li Qi.
The kings were all smart people. The situation at the moment was very clear. They had no choice, and Li Qi didn't give them the opportunity to choose.
First of all, the foundation of the Baiyue land is not in themselves, but in the conflict between humans and witches. The reason why there was such a deformed position before was that the humans and witches were unwilling to have a direct conflict and left such a buffer zone.
With the help of this buffer zone, they used the status of the world itself and the native lives of these worlds to gather their strength with the law of humanity and became the fifth rank.
Originally, before the battle began, if they chose to surrender directly and join the humane camp, then although they would lose Baiyue, their foundation would collapse and their rank would drop, they would definitely be able to keep their sixth rank body, and then they would hide outside the domain, and they would not necessarily die.
Humanity has promised not to kill them, so as long as they run away in time, they will definitely not be killed. The credibility of humanity is well known.
However, on the other hand, Li Qi gave them the choice that if they could win, Wu Dao would leave Baiyue.
To be precise, Wu Dao only helped Baiyue resist Ren Dao, not invade Baiyue.
From the perspective of the Baiyue rulers, it was Ren Dao who invaded, and Wu Dao chose to protect in order to continue to retain the buffer zone of Baiyue.
Moreover, Wu Dao's promise was obviously credible.
It was for this reason that the Baiyue rulers chose to stand on the side of Wu Dao, hoping to retain their own foundation.
However, after Li Qi killed the ruler of Lingxiao, there must have been rulers who wavered, until Li Qi began to release news and revealed the real purpose of Wu Dao.
They found that Wu Dao's protection of Baiyue was essentially to protect the relics of the Holy Emperor.
This calmed the Baiyue rulers down. Since there was such an important matter, they stood on Wu Dao. With Wu Dao's promise and usual style, he would not continue to control them after the war.
After all, everyone knows that the tolerance of Wudao is almost infinite. As long as it is a natural thing and has its own rationality, Wudao will not care about it.
Maybe there will be witches and shamans who modify certain things out of personal will and moral concepts, but the entire Wudao will not be mobilized. The organizational structure of Wudao is incredibly loose. Basically, before the Human-Witch War, Wudao had not organized any collective actions for billions of years.
All the actions of witches and shamans are personal actions, and the individual who performs this action is responsible. Wudao as a whole has never moved.
This world is already very good, there is no need to continue to add to it, right?
The more complex this world is, the more complex the witches and shamans are. From the kind-hearted Yunfang Great Witch to the neutral ones such as Li Qi, and some evil ghost witches, Wudao can tolerate them.
The Human-Witch War was the first time that the witches and shamans joined forces in billions of years.
So much information piled up together, so that the rulers of Baiyue got a clear message.
By protecting Baiyue, they can protect everything they have.
So, they are not afraid of shaking the foundation of Taoism, because they can rebuild it in the future. It's all for now. As long as there is no fifth-grade, they can suppress all the resistance.
Wudao will not give up on them. Everything is a stopgap measure, all for the sake of being able to survive the oppression of humanity.
In this mentality, they have spent decades, and now, there is no turning back... surrender is meaningless.
They have gone too far, so that surrender now is impossible to be accepted by humanity.
Now that Li Qi has shown his fangs again and expressed the true role of the Great Sacrifice, they can't do anything.
Even if they can see that the essence of the Great Sacrifice is "revolution", and the times must change, they can't do anything.
The rulers of Baiyue will either accept the new era, continue to accept such Baiyue, and then continue to serve as rulers and maintain the fifth grade, or they can only run away afterwards.
No matter what they choose, they can't sit back and relax like before.
They can no longer lie down and become the fifth grade, and can no longer enjoy a Baiyue that will never resist no matter what.
From now on, if they want to continue to be the rulers, they must make corresponding efforts.
Yes, just like humanity.
The same is true for humanity. While enjoying the power of the people, the superiors must also bear the responsibilities of the people. It is impossible to just enjoy like the ruler of Baiyue.
Li Qi and humanity, the changes in the past sixty years are actually preaching, and they are all trying to change them from the evil way of humanity to the right way of humanity.
Unfortunately, even if they react now, it is too late.
So, sixty years have passed, and the last few hours are missing, and they still have a chance to maintain the fifth rank.
All the rulers are smart people. They all know a truth that a journey of a hundred miles begins with a single step.
Now it has reached ninety-nine--
At this time, no ruler will give up.
Not to mention that there are people like Yunluo among the rulers, she will definitely not turn against them.
As for the other rulers, Li Qi gave them a way to live, so they continued to work hard. Although it would be harder than before, it was better than being hunted down by enemies all over the world after losing their rank.
Outside, the war is still going on.
Inside, the fight for the Grand Sacrifice is also in full swing.
The fight for the power of the Grand Sacrifice is mainly between Li Qi and Qiu Zhi.
These two people have been working tirelessly to change the "world" of Baiyue in the past sixty years, and they are all changing in the same direction.
Although there are differences in details, the general direction is consistent.
Therefore, Qiu Zhi is determined to win such a fight.
He feels that victory is within reach. The two big dragons in the sky are not fighting each other, but merging in the fight, because the power they represent is essentially the same, that is, the human way of justice.
No matter who comes, there is no doubt that what Baiyue is implementing now is the human way of justice.
Moreover, Qiu Zhi still has a trump card, which is a detail that the Tianshi officials dug out from nowhere, but it is enough to establish his victory, but now is not the time to reveal it.
He still needs to fight wits and courage with Li Qi. Both sides drag their injured bodies, rack their brains, and fight with all their strength to fight for the ownership of the Grand Sacrifice.
Qiu Zhi feels that his life is burning rapidly.
Li Qi, on the other hand, was calculating the time, trying to find a good opportunity to take the second bottle of medicine.
Both sides are calculating and deducing.
A large amount of information flows through the brain, and there is more time for planning and less time for action. It often takes tens of seconds to make a move.
They kept testing and deducing each other's actions.
It's like... fighting in the mind.
Originally, the battles between the fourth grades, although not as brutal as martial arts, would not be so peaceful and would probably be more intense.
Both sides were seriously injured and had very little power to use. The cost of trial and error was now beyond their ability to bear, so they had to be cautious every time they made a move and must take all possibilities into account.
Neither side can afford to lose.
It was another confrontation, and all variables were taken into account. From the release, collision, and aftermath of the two spells, there were no surprises. Everything had happened thousands of times in their minds.
You don’t need to take action, you already know the result, and it will be the same thousands of times again.
In other words, the current battle is not enough to determine the winner.
Li Qi was so happy that the other party was willing to drag with him, and he was also willing to drag with the other party. Come on, let's all delay together, delay for two and a half hours. When the bright moon rises, the emperor's fluid descends, Li Qi recovers, and Qiu Zhi Just go and die.
So the only one who is anxious is Qiu Zhi.
Li Qi just needs to be prepared and wait for work.
Obviously Qiu Zhi also knew about this.
He must take the initiative to break the situation. The balance of power between the two sides actually means that he loses because he is the attacker and he cannot afford to delay.
There's nothing we can do about it——
You can only open your trump card in advance.
The next moment, the big festival suddenly showed a one-sided trend.
The two sides were originally evenly matched.
What is evenly matched?
It is the two sides of the scale that are perfectly balanced. Even if a hair falls to the other side, it will cause the entire scale to tilt completely.
But now, there is just one more hair.
Li Qi's eyes widened suddenly!
what happened! ?
In Dalu Country, there is a mountain spirit. He is not even a mountain god. He is an ordinary 'mountain spirit' who has not yet awakened his sanity.
This mountain spirit clearly expressed its hostility towards Li Qi.
This hostility even has a source.
A very obvious causal connection appears at this moment!
Li Qi owes a cause and effect.
At the same time, it was this cause and effect that led the mountain spirit, who was the subject of the great sacrifice, to alienate Li Qi and become this hair.
The situation suddenly reversed!
