617: Causal paradox, the circle of fate!

A long time ago, Li Qi had wondered, what is fate?

And what is Karma?

After mastering the incomplete [Causality Dao], Li Qi had a deeper understanding of what Karma was.

The cycle of Karma is the ultimate principle of the Universe; the birth, death, and changes of all things are derived from this principle.

Cause is the origin of things.

Effect is the end of things.

And the cycle is the continuity of Karma, revolving endlessly without exhaustion.

Between Heaven and Earth, whether it is a speck of dust or a giant object, all are bound by the laws of Karma.

The beginning of a matter must have a prior cause... the end of a matter must leave a subsequent effect.

The chain of Karma is linked ring by ring, continuous and unbroken, forming the complex phenomena between all things in Heaven and Earth. The growth and withering of all things, the changes and rise and fall of worldly affairs, all stem from this.

And Li Qi's current state is very strange. Whether it is his Heaven-Defying Opportunity or the System on him... they all came about because of himself.

The most powerful version of himself made the most precious gift and then gave it to the weakest version of himself in the past.

It was he himself who achieved himself.

Many people ask whether the chicken or the egg came first, and they argue endlessly about it, finding it hard to reach a conclusion.

But Li Qi has given his own answer...

This hen first laid an egg, then hatched itself from the egg, then laid another egg, then hatched itself again...

Repeating like this, cycling endlessly.

Such things have exceeded the intuition and cognition of ordinary people; they would feel that this is an impossible thing to happen.

But with the help of the [Causality Dao], one of the Three Thousand Great Daos, Li Qi has achieved it.

He created the System and gave it to his past self; not only that... he also manipulated Karma and wove fate!

Connecting today's withering with the past's Rebirth head-to-tail, he wove the trajectory of fate... into a ring!

Like the serpent of fate, Jörmungandr, with its head biting its tail, symbolizing the Reincarnation of Karma and fate.

This is exactly how Li Qi is; he is within a strange Karma paradox of himself birthing himself and himself achieving himself!

Not knowing where it comes from, nor knowing where it goes... but it is constantly cycling!

This strange Karma paradox was also intentionally created by Li Qi. Although the [Causality Dao] he mastered was incomplete, he had already understood the key to this Three Thousand Great Dao!

That is the cycle!

Constant cycling!

The cycle of Karma is the foundation of the [Causality Dao] itself!

When Li Qi wove fate, he set many key nodes. He was destined to find the hidden sword technique in the painting, and he was also destined to enter the Pine Crane Longevity Sect.

After shattering the Void Realm and ascending to the Upper Realm, he was also destined to meet the Ancestral Master, Ji Ying, and after that, he was destined to suffer threats from the Saint Demon!

Even the fierce battle with the previous generation's Limit Lord Li, being forced into the depths of the Dao by the opponent... was also destined.

Everything is just right...

Li Qi was born according to fate and died according to fate, constantly cycling and experiencing Rebirth...

And in this, his understanding and mastery of Karma and fate... were also constantly sublimating!

Li Qi wove Karma and fate, and Karma and fate also changed him!

If viewed from a higher dimension of Karma and fate, this is not the first time Li Qi has achieved the status of Limit Lord.

In the dark, he has already cycled like this eight times... and now it is the ninth time!

This is also why he had a strange sense of déjà vu when he broke through to the Limit Lord Realm before. Clearly, he had just broken through to the Limit Lord Realm, but he felt that the Realm of Limit Lord was very familiar, as if he had been a Limit Lord for many years.

Because in the previous cycles, he really was a Limit Lord! A genuine Limit Lord!

When this cycle had repeated nine times, and when the old System had merged into the new System time and time again... it finally ushered in a certain qualitative change!

Deep within the System, a prompt page appeared...

[Causality Dao is being completed...]

[...]

[...]

[...]

[Causality Dao has been completed!]

[You have obtained the complete Causality Dao!]

This moment was just like eternity...

On the scale of Karma and fate, all the figures belonging to Li Qi gradually disappeared.

Whether it was the past Li Qi, the present Li Qi, or the future Li Qi... they all disappeared.

After completely mastering the [Causality Dao], all fates and Karma were gathered!

All the Li Qis were gathered together, becoming an indelible figure...

I am the only one!

Deep in the Dao, a strange rhythm came, and a powerful figure manifested again.

"Nine whole cycles..."

"Now... it has finally ended."

At this moment, Li Qi is so powerful; his strength has reached Perfection, without any flaws.

And the Dao can no longer affect him. Even standing here, the many Three Thousand Great Daos on him... no longer have any signs of disappearing!

Standing deep within the Dao, Li Qi only felt incomparable peace and tranquility.

"It is time to end all of this..."

Li Qi's figure moved, and he stepped out of the Dao, returning to the outside world.

And Li, who had been blocking the way outside, was pleasantly surprised to see Li Qi's figure again.

"Hahaha..."

"You came out again!?"

"Li Qi, now you can't run..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Qi grabbed Li by the neck, holding him tightly so he could not move.

Such a change made Li feel horrified. He wanted to break free from Li Qi's restraint, but he found he could not break free at all; he could not shake the opponent's strength!

Li Qi had become stronger, much stronger than him!

Much stronger than before!

It was as if he were a different person!

At this moment, while Li was horrified, he could not help but feel a trace of panic. A very ominous premonition surged into his heart. He kept struggling, trying to escape, but it was already useless.

"Li, you are not bad."

"Because of you, I have fallen nine times, and now... it is finally your turn."

"Farewell..."
