Myriad Paths

Chapter 861: Hold Back

In the world of the mind, Li Shiwei and Li Qi are officially facing each other.

And Li Shiwei's only feeling is that...she has become stronger.

I've really become a lot stronger.

What I can most intuitively feel is probably that I have transcended this world.

No matter how strong she was in the past, she still exerted her 'destructive power' in the world, but now she has undoubtedly reached a higher level.

As long as she still controls the Death Demon Dao Yun, then these powers belong entirely to her.

That’s what those ‘devils’ said.

This 'Demon Thought Body', which was made by the joint efforts of the Demon Lords and uses the Rhythm of the Dead Demon Dao as its core, is most suitable for Li Shiwei's current situation and can perfectly match her desires.

All her... desires.

"All?" Li Shiwei walked up to Li Qi. Although her father was talking to her, she turned a deaf ear.

Because she is thinking.

Of course she knew that the current posture... was very powerful, very powerful, transcended reality, had reality, was so majestic, was so...

ugly.

How can a body made of demonic thoughts look good?

"I won, that's why it turned out like this, right?" Li Shiwei asked herself in her heart.

In order to control this body, she suffered a lot and took a lot of risks, so she gained the fourth level of power.

This is really...hard to describe.

It only took one hundred and twenty years to control the power of the fourth grade.

She has experienced many things in these one hundred and twenty years, and she has not relaxed for a second.

When she first came to this world, she was curious. She wanted to know the truth about the world. In the end, she succeeded.

She wanted to help her parents and friends, and wanted to become stronger. She succeeded.

She hoped to reveal the secret of magic, and she succeeded

She left the Demon Prince and wanted to borrow the power of other Demon Lords to get closer to her father. She also succeeded.

Because of the Death Demon's will to die, she wanted to release her murderous intent, and she succeeded.

As far as the results are concerned, she succeeded every step of the way.

Every one of her desires was successful, that's why she became like this.

But there will only be other "desires" and greater "desires", and this is exactly what the devil wants, her path of practice.

The game constructed by the ten demon kings may even be mixed with great beings from a higher level.

Li Shiwei knows this clearly.

Just like... a child in junior high school also knows very well that not studying and not going to school is not good.

However, how many people can read seriously from the bottom of their hearts?

Everyone knows the prisoner's dilemma.

In fact, the best choice for every prisoner is to confess. If his accomplice denies it and he confesses, he can be released.

If the accomplice confesses and he also confesses, then each will be sentenced to five years. Compared with the ten years for denying, confessing is still better than denying. Therefore, confessing will not be the worst situation in any case. Although betraying each other violates the best common sense, interest, but the best interest of the individual.

Therefore, such a simple prisoner's dilemma has become an unsolvable problem. How many things can happen in an individual's life for the sake of small gains at the expense of large gains? Magnified to the social level, there are not a few people who push the fate of a country to death for their own selfish interests.

Another example is, study hard.

This is a harmless thing. Everyone knows that studying hard is a good thing and will definitely lead to good results. But how many people actually study hard?

Also, the great witch Yun Fang, a dignified third-grade man, doesn’t he know how to get rid of the evil thoughts in his heart and make his cultivation further?

It is clear that the method of liberation is right before our eyes, but why do all living beings persist in not realizing it?

This is the ‘devil’.

Acting like a deaf person or a blind person, having ears cannot hear the true Dharma, and having eyes cannot see the future.

The more you realize this, the more clearly you are aware of the existence of the ‘demon’, the more inescapable it is to escape.

Li Shiwei walked up to Li Qi——

————————

Li Qi watched his daughter walk in front of him.

Full of murderous intent.

Facing her father, Li Shiwei showed murderous intent.

These murderous intentions and evil spirits spurted out.

Putting aside the murderous intention, that evil spirit cannot be conjured out of thin air.

So, how many creatures did she kill to cultivate enough evil energy to shake Li Qi?

How great a killing is this?

It was even difficult for Li Qi to calculate.

The power from the Death Demon did not control her. In fact, the Death Demon had been beaten to death long ago and had disappeared without a trace during the great wars in the ancient times. How could it control people? Everything was Li Shiwei's own decision.

In other words, she knew everything was happening, just like she knew skipping school and going to the bar was a bad thing, but she still did it.

How should I put it, the feeling of disappointment does not fill the body instantly.

First, my hands and feet become heavy.

Feeling of numbness, chest becoming stuffy, as if something is stuck in throat.

The back cannot be straightened.

Soon his cheeks became hard, his lips became dry, and the depths of his head became chaotic and fuzzy.

Lost hope.

I don't even want to show any expression to anyone anymore.

Li Qi let out a long sigh of relief.

If that's the case, then it's time to make a decision.

Li Qi looked at Li Shiwei in front of him, waiting for the other party to make a choice.

————————

The fact that Li Qi was waiting for Li Shiwei to take action made all the demon kings notice this.

Not even just the Demon Lords.

The three patrolling angels outside, as well as Jing Wuzhen, Shariputra, and Maudgalyayana, all noticed this place.

Because this is the center of the battle, the balance point of the scale.

If Li Qi's Dao heart has a flaw, and the "emptiness" of the pure law disappears, then the next moment, the demon king in his body will immediately open a channel, and the demon kings will abandon everything and rush into Li Qi's mind frantically, then multiply, replicate, and quickly establish the victory.

This is the "60% winning rate" of the demon kings.

And if Li Qi resists, even in the face of this situation, he is still indifferent, and there is no fluctuation, and there is no flaw in the Dao heart, and he still maintains the pure law, then he will quickly clear the evil thoughts and come out to support.

At that time, the demon kings will be miserable.

Everything depends on Li Qi.

It depends on whether Li Qi can withstand this wave of evil thoughts.

The rebellion of his daughter is something that the demon kings have planned for a long time, and they have deduced many times.

It is not easy to resist, and you can't just pretend to be hard-hearted and ignore it.

Even if Li Qi wants to kill Li Shiwei and give birth to another one, the evil thoughts will probably erupt.

But he can't stop the birth of evil thoughts by ignoring it.

In fact, the grief, anger, regret, even happiness, relaxation, etc. in his heart, any emotional fluctuations, will open the flaws in Li Qi's heart at this time.

This feeling is a bit like the mentality when a loved one dies.

When a loved one dies, some people look normal. They don't cry at the funeral, and don't have any special expressions. They still go to work, get off work, eat, drink and have fun, and work hard in daily affairs. So they don't have time to think about their loved ones who have passed away, and seem to have forgotten about it.

No matter from which angle, he looks like nothing happened.

However, there is a hole in his heart, which is a flaw in his heart. He looks calm from the outside, and he doesn't even realize it. He feels that he doesn't feel anything. Maybe he is just hard-hearted.

But the hole in his heart that opened silently had evil thoughts growing in it, and he didn't even know it.

Occasionally, one day, he continued his daily life, full of eating, drinking and having fun. After a busy day, when night fell, he suddenly saw the kitchen knife that his loved ones used to use.

At this moment, the haze of death will suddenly burst out again without any warning, making you feel that everything in front of you has lost its luster. You slumped on the edge of the bed, panting, trembling all over, unable to do anything.

Because evil thoughts have already filled his heart, which is not dominated by emotions or your personal cognition.

People may not be able to perceive their own hearts.

But evil thoughts can.

This is why evil thoughts can make people degenerate.

Human nature certainly has its brilliance. Those unyielding wills, the belief of never giving up, and the dazzling flashes of heroes in the face of difficulties cannot cover up the emptiness in the heart, and even... these are evil thoughts themselves.

Many people think that being easily defeated and falling into evil is really boring, all because the victim's willpower is too weak to keep up with the magic.

But in fact, this is a pure lie, a message spread by the magic.

They do it on purpose, they deliberately make people think that as long as the victim's willpower is firm and strong enough, they can resist the invasion of evil thoughts and let them persist.

No, it's not like that.

Willpower can resist killing intentions, resist evil spirits, or resist certain momentum, such as the oppression of martial arts gods.

But... it can't resist evil thoughts.

Even the point of "strong willpower" itself is the accumulation of evil thoughts.

The more you think you have strong willpower, the greater your flaws in the magic.

How many people with "strong willpower" have been defeated by this.

Just as Li Shiwei said self-deprecatingly.

"Every one of your desires has succeeded, so you end up like this."

Do you think you can resist the invasion of evil thoughts with willpower?

In fact, your willpower is itself a demonic thought.

The insidiousness of the demonic path is far more than this.

The demon lords all looked at Li Qi, and others also looked at Li Qi. Whether the battle was won or not almost depended on whether Li Qi could resist the demonic thoughts in his heart.

Li Qi should keep "empty" and keep "normal mind".

The next second——

A hole opened in Li Qi's heart.

The demon lords were overjoyed!

Win! Win!

Even Li Qi had flaws, his wife and daughter, his master, were his flaws!

In an instant, the demon lords went berserk! They abandoned everything and rushed towards Li Qi in a violent form.

All things became very trance because of this, everything was stretched, as if trapped in the visual interface of Guixu, and the whistling wind rushed through it!

Each event is not simple, but is interwoven by many wills, forming a complex and intertwined vein.

A shadow wrapped around Li Qi's body with unparalleled heat, causing his skin and flesh to crackle and burst out with oily particles, emitting a strange smell that was somewhere between a fragrance and a stink.

Li Qi's body was almost instantly enveloped by an indescribably dense demonic energy!

A sharp explosion sounded, and the air exploded under the pressure of the demonic energy. Under the huge pressure, a bright and dazzling flash of light was produced, and a demonic lightning that penetrated the world, accompanied by endless high temperature, exploded!

Li Qi's inner demon king, the ten demon kings from the outside world, exactly eleven of them, rushed into his inner world.

There is one piece of intelligence.

That is, Li Qi's gods in the body have almost been destroyed, leaving only one "primordial spirit", and the five mountain gods, the four river gods, and the sun and moon gods have all been destroyed.

Maybe it's really a coincidence, twelve gods in the body, and eleven of them have been destroyed.

These eleven positions are simply tailor-made for the demon kings.

They directly passed through Li Qi's crack and quickly rushed into Li Qi's inner world.

Then... it was "occupying the magpie's nest".

There are twelve gods in the inner world, and Li Qi only has the primordial spirit left, and the others have been destroyed.

So the demon kings each manifested themselves, took advantage of the failure of the purification method, occupied eleven empty positions, and began to manipulate Li Qi's inner world directly.

It has been said before that the "transformation technique" of the demon path is quite powerful, and the most powerful one is the Heavenly Demon, which can be said to be able to transform into everything from the essence.

The demon kings certainly don't have this ability, but their transformation technique can also transform anything into anything.

Li Qi's cultivation was instantly blocked, and his inner world was filled with demonic energy!

Even filling it up was not enough, the demon kings immediately joined hands, and they laughed grimly! They began to proliferate in Li Qi's body, the demon thoughts continued to replicate, and the demonic energy also multiplied!

Maudgalyayana sighed.

Shariputra remained calm, but his magical powers had enveloped the surroundings, as if he wanted to resist the pressure of the eleven demon kings after doubling by himself.

Jing Wuzhen and the patrolling angels stopped at the same time.

"It seems that there is no need to get serious. You have already lost. Retreat as soon as possible." The Peng bird said coldly.

Jing Wuzhen's hand holding the sword had turned white, and he looked down.

Didn't Li Qi say he had a back-up plan?

What back-up plan? !

——————————

And at the bottom...

Li Shiwei, full of murderous intent, suddenly lowered her head.

"I..."

"I didn't kill anyone."

She hugged Li Qi and spoke with difficulty in a crying voice.

It was hard to imagine that the death demon's Dao rhyme was still surging in her body. The majestic evil spirit was enough to transform billions of worlds into a sea of ​​blood, but her tone did not have any murderous intent, but was a little stuttering.

Like the chirping of a young bird breaking out of its shell.

"Hold it back."

"When I thought about killing someone, my father would be sad, so I held it back."

"So..."

"Don't... become a demon."

The demon lords were stunned.

The hole in Li Qi's heart that was torn open seemed to be fake, and it quickly closed!

"Don't cry, you know, I never doubted it." Li Qi touched his daughter's head and said with a smile.

This is his back-up plan. (End of this chapter)
