My Bottle Cosmos

Chapter 765 710: I Am Also in the Cage

The Light Ancient God is the mastermind behind the scenes, open and honest.

The answer before Li Qing would only be thought of as the response of the Light Ancient God as the mastermind.

"Sometimes, I truly wonder, when will this all have an end?"

The Light Ancient God continued to perform surgeries, suddenly opening up a conversation with another elderly person on the brink of death.

"In this vast cosmos, your emergence, seemingly monopolizing an accident of the universe, perhaps is also a kind of inevitable fate."

Su Heng sighed, "In a sense, you who seem to be the universe's greatest overlord still became its puppet, passively propelled by the great momentum in the void... Could you not choose to let go?"

Li Qing shook his head, "Choosing to let go, to not be the mastermind behind the scenes, abandoning the highest authority over ruling the universe, washing my hands of it, and becoming one among the universe's common beings?"

Then.

Would that not also make me a puppet of the universe, passively working for it?

It's merely a difference of scale.

As long as a person is alive, the cycle of life and death naturally drives the progress of eras.

No matter how reluctant you are, your birth and death are parts of the natural cycle, both passively pushing the times forward.

"Inescapable," Li Qing remarked.

"Indeed," sighed Su Heng, "we cannot escape birth, aging, sickness, and death; we cannot escape the principles of nature. Even you, so high above, cannot escape it, as long as you live within the universe, you must abide by its ways and principles."

Li Qing's expression remained calm.

No matter how he chose, it seemed the entire world in the void was pushing him forward.

Now, busy with the transcendence of the Godhead Era, catching up with the new era, transforming the new system into his own.

What about the future?

Likely busy with the next era, a fresh one, to avoid being overthrown, endless monotonous days lay ahead for Li Qing.

From a macroprobability perspective.

As long as there is a 0.00001% chance of Li Qing being overthrown, he will inevitably be overthrown.

One must know.

There are no coincidences in macroscopic history.

It's just a matter of how long Li Qing can hold out.

From the perspective of the grand cosmos, no matter how glorious Li Qing seems now, essentially he is a mere insignificant ant, having contributed to the universe, destined to fall in some historical period, just like most people.

No matter if you hold control of the universe as a secret mastermind, the ultimate outcome is the same for the vast cosmos.

The universe continually progresses, while all beings are replaced generation by generation.

"I do not understand much, but your heart harbors too much, sometimes you need to confide," Su Heng smiled slightly.

He was already at the brink of death, yet he appeared quite calm.

Previously, he was the one speaking, and the Light Ancient God was listening.

Gradually, the Light Ancient God began to speak as well, and it was his turn to listen.

From his perspective, even the Light Ancient God lived a difficult existence.

No matter how the universe viewed him, he was merely one of the beings passively driving the civilization's torch forward.

Gradually.

Another three years passed.

Su Heng, an unimpressive Ancient God of the era, ultimately died of old age.

In his experiments, Li Qing achieved perfection, imprinting the Godhead.

"The cosmos, truly wondrous."

Li Qing watched Su Heng's body drift away with the wind, "You see through things clearly as well. I and mortals are essentially not different, just differing in the scale of our influences."

A rare moment of opening up, conversing with one of the beings of the era.

He too felt a vague realization in his heart.

He had a notion in his mind.

Perhaps, finding a way to break out of this endless framework was necessary.

Of course, that was not a problem to ponder now, the current concern should be: control over the Godhead.

Li Qing dealt with Su Heng's body, choosing not to save him, as all Heavens and Myriads of Realms nearby chanted and held a funeral for him.

Of course, many more were eyeing, intent on inheriting his Godhead.

Indeed.

The Godhead being a micro Crystal Wall, was definitely inheritable.

However, that Godhead had long been intended by Li Qing to be marked with a subordinate's imprint.

In the days to come, Li Qing began an overwhelming proliferation of Godheads!

The essence of a Godhead is the Crystal Wall; the Crystal Wall under Li Qing's control was limitless, and he created numerous Godheads, marking them with his own imprint.

These massive subordinate Godheads were allowed to circulate within the market, impacting the existing ecological balance of Godheads.

Even after reproduction and division, these tampered subordinate Godheads retained the imprint.

This batch of Godheads was not without a proper source; he gifted them to Angels and the Dragon Race, making them pseudo-gods to suppress the enemies of All Heavens and Myriads of Realms.

"Thanks to the Celestial Dao's blessing!"

"Thanks to the ancestors!"

Numerous Angels and Dragons rose again.

And Li Qing's Godheads began to disrupt the market, occupying 50% of the total Godhead count, and it was still increasing.

This was a plain and honest overt strategy, a dignified numerical overrun!

Just like monopolistic conglomerates, copying your creativity and, using my financial power, dominating the enemy's market, driving out the genuine with pirated versions!

Lawsuit?

Whom to sue?

When I've secretly gotten my member products to capture 99% of the market, silently await your demise.

"Despicable! Despicable indeed!"

The Star Lord roared, "The Light Ancient God has created more Godheads, equipping numerous Angels and Dragons. They're oppressing us, regaining control over the era!"

This is plagiarism!

This is theft of their hard work.

The entity that developed five or six mythical eras was now plagiarizing the mythical ages he pioneered!

During the End of the Dharma Era, both sides still fought.

Regrettably.

The Star Lord could only rage in impotent fury.

In the blink of an eye, eight thousand years passed, with countless Angel Gods and Dragon Race Gods launching attacks, besieging Star Lord and others across the different realms.

A myriad of gods encircled him, yet Star Lord's combat strength was indeed extraordinary.

As a Ninth Layer Life Ancient God, his combat power far exceeded the era's standards. As long as his spirit remained unbroken, he would not die.

Single-handedly, he swept through thirty million Ancient God's armies, fighting alone for a full eight hundred years!

"I am undying, immortal!" Star Lord roared, "Light Ancient God, you're too despicable; the Celestial Dao should not be controlled, the beings of this universe desire freedom!"

Seeing this, Li Qing slightly frowned.

Frankly, even Li Qing had no way to handle this Life Ancient God.

For he did not utilize Li Qing's Crystal Wall reinforcement, being a free Life Ancient God, coupled with his immortal trait, even if using the entire universe's Crystal Wall surveillance collectively on him, he could not be killed!

Only if Li Qing, as a Life Ancient God, personally acted could he kill another Life Ancient God of the same attributes.

Yet, evidently, he did not wish to expose himself.

"However, that does not mean there's no way."

"For these beings, his weaknesses are the same as mine, aging, Celestial-Human assimilation."

Li Qing knew, when Star Lord fell below the Undying Level before, things were easy, regaining immortality.

Now, having pioneered a new Ancient God's Technique, integrating a Crystal Core, ascending back to the Ninth Layer Ancient God, yet his lifespan was only a millennium, and now, eight hundred years had already passed.

He was about to die.
