Chapter 1054: Chapter 1052: The Deterrence Plan 2

Dream Dao Attainment, Opening Scheme Against Cultivators

Dream-Making Expert

Lin Qi watched the Wu Ancestor depart, habitually rubbing his fingers.

Though he had relied on the Ancestral Shaman Inheritance left behind by Houtu to successfully resolve the Heaven Demon Macrocosm’s spacetime rejection of him.

But unless absolutely necessary.

He would absolutely not easily step even half a step outside the Heaven Demon Macrocosm.

Under those conditions, if he wanted to wage war on all sides in this chaotic Fourth Era and complete his plan.

Then he could only rely on his subordinates.

Yet he had been dropped into this Heaven Demon Macrocosm ten thousand years in the future all alone.

Even if his individual power, bolstered by the Empress Wa Banner and the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disk, could be called unrivaled throughout this Heaven Demon Macrocosm.

But wanting to find trustworthy subordinate generals worthy of leading expeditions to the Outlands in his place was still difficult, difficult, difficult.

Quite apart from anything else.

In an Era like this, where Half-Step Dao Integration cultivators went on crazy rampages and Dao-Fusion Realm cultivators gambled everything on Dao-Sacrifice.

If he wanted to send armies to conquer other Cosmos.

Then as the commander of a great army, one would at minimum need the cultivation of a Half-Step Dao Integration, right?

Yet looking across the Myriad Realms, which Half-Step Dao Integration cultivator would easily submit to another and serve as their hawk and hound?

Take the Great Sage Candle Dragon and Great Sage Taotie before him, for instance.

He might be able to suppress or even kill the Great Sage Candle Dragon and Great Sage Taotie in this realm.

But wanting the Great Sage Candle Dragon and Great Sage Taotie to serve him to the death was also extraordinarily difficult.

Sometimes he could only use Xiao Ali to command the Great Sages.

As for Lin Qi’s original power base.

That is, the Reincarnators in the Lord God’s Space.

Those were indeed usable.

But the Reincarnators’ strengths and weaknesses were both too obvious.

The strength was naturally that they did not fear death.

But the weakness was that they always lacked high-end combat power.

With the Peerless Young Master still having yet to break through to the Mahayana Realm.

The combat ceiling of all Reincarnators in the Lord God’s Space was only equivalent to the Tribulation Transcendence Realm of the Heavenly Immortal Macrocosm.

Such strength, in the face of the current situation where All Heavens were running rampant and destruction and chaos reigned.

Was also far from enough.

Let alone the fact that while Tribulation Transcendence was indeed the combat ceiling of all Reincarnators in the Lord God’s Space.

The number of Reincarnators who could actually reach that combat ceiling was truly countable on one hand.

Time.

The time from the birth of the Lord God’s Space to its development up to now was simply too short.

Not enough foundation, not enough time.

No matter what, it would be difficult for it to become a truly powerful force capable of influencing the current structure of the Myriad Realms.

Those powerful Outland Gods might treat the Lord God’s Space as a final refuge, granting it some conveniences.

But if one truly dreamed of relying on the Lord God’s Space to sweep across the Myriad Realms, that was nothing but a fool’s dream.

After all, for true powerhouses.

“One does not shed tears until one sees the coffin” was not a phrase meant to humiliate.

It was the standard they genuinely practiced with their own bodies.

Until reality completely collapsed and death was absolutely certain.

Their attitude toward the Lord God’s Space was always merely that it might be a retreat route when all roads led nowhere.

But wanting them to abandon all the realities of the present right now and stake everything to join the Lord God’s Space.

Was an impossibility.

So even though after Wang Ling sacrificed himself to achieve the Sixth Heavenly Mandate, Shiguang Xinling.

In theory, Lin Qi could already completely re-control the Lord God’s Space through the Sixth Heavenly Mandate, Shiguang Xinling.

But the meaning was minimal.

The current Lord God’s Space could not yet become an indispensable aid to him.

So rather than using Reincarnators as cannon fodder.

He would be better off anticipating feedback and pressure from the Supremes, thereby gaining the allegiance of some clever Half-Step Dao Integration or even Dao-Fusion Realm powerhouses.

Thinking of this.

Lin Qi’s gaze fell on the Great Sage Candle Dragon and Great Sage Taotie.

These two useless pieces of iron — give them a chance, and they still could not amount to anything.

A full five years had passed.

Back then, Xiao Ali, who had still been an infant, was already almost old enough to start elementary school.

And these two wastes still could not deliver the news of how he had once taken them dream-walking on Ancestral Star 1999 to the Undying Wa Huang and the others!

Detecting Lin Qi’s unfriendly gaze.

The Great Sage Candle Dragon and Great Sage Taotie immediately put on fake smiles.

Looking at them made Lin Qi angry, but he held it in.

He knew he could not be too impatient, too deliberate.

After all, he only wanted the Supremes to know that he might, on a whim, reverse cause and effect.

To forcibly link Ancestral Star Earth with the New World.

Yes.

Five years ago, after receiving the message transmitted by the Heaven-Abandoning Emperor from five billion six hundred million years ago.

Learning that the Supremes, in order to help him contain the mass of the Myriad Realms with Dream Bubble Shadow, would implant the Root of the Great Dream into the origin of the Myriad Realms.

And that they also harbored an obsession to find and conquer Earth.

Lin Qi began pondering how to exploit this matter.

And taking the Great Sage Candle Dragon and Great Sage Taotie dream-walking on Ancestral Star 1999 was one of his attempts.

An attempt to completely link Earth with the New World after the Great Destruction.

This was not Lin Qi shooting in the dark.

But a direction that was truly possible.

After all, back when he was in the Three Immortals Macrocosm, he had personally witnessed how that Lady Yunxiao of the Three Immortals Macrocosm refined the false into the true.

Turning his Dream Earth into reality, eternally preserved within a well in the Three Immortals Macrocosm.

So why could Lin Qi not create a genuinely real Earth within the New World after the Great Destruction, and even become the Ancestral Star that could determine the fate of this New World?

It must be said this was an extremely bold idea.

If feasible.

Then in the end, Lin Qi would not only refine the false into the true, but also refine the true into the false.

Making the originally unsearchable, unfindable Earth transform into the genuinely real Ancestral Star within the New World.

While the originally genuinely real Myriad Realms would, under his will, transform into illusory dreams within the New World that could not intersect with reality.

Even using the Root of the Great Dream that the Supremes had implanted into the origin of the Myriad Realms to completely overturn the entire past, present, and future of the Myriad Realms.

Linking everything together.

He and the Ancient Earthly Sovereign would no longer be Earth transmigrators with no place to be found and no hometown to look toward.

He and the Ancient Earthly Sovereign would become the second and first in the Myriad Realms to have dreamed, through the Root of the Great Dream, of that Ancestral Star Earth which should only have been born in the New World after the Great Destruction of the Myriad Realms.

The intertwining of illusion and reality, the overlapping of spacetime and Eras, was extremely complex.

It was simply impossible to sever, impossible to sort out.

But it was truly a possible direction capable of completely threading through the entire Myriad Realms from origin to end, and even extending into the New World.

And this possibility was inevitably not the result the Supremes wanted.

So once They learned of it, They would inevitably initiate resistance from within the past.

And this resistance from the Supremes was exactly what Lin Qi currently wanted.

Because it could truly grant Lin Qi authority comparable to the Supremes in this Fourth Era.

After all, if even the Supremes had to join forces to resist, even to the point of fearing Lin Qi’s plan.

Then what basis did a bunch of so-called powerhouses who had not even reached Dao-Sacrifice have to dare not fear Lin Qi?

And fear itself was the best means of controlling all living beings.

It could let Lin Qi better spread his majestic name throughout this Fourth Era filled with countless destruction and chaos, and obtain a transcendent status above all living beings.

Simply put.

In this Fourth Era where no Supreme backed Lin Qi.

He would make the Supremes have no choice but to back him in another way, continuing the power and status he had once obtained under the Supremes’ support.

Rather than becoming a Supreme-abandoned pawn in the eyes of certain powerhouses.

Of course, he could not truly push the Supremes too hard, making Them directly flip the table.

After all, for the current Lin Qi, the idea of creating a new Earth was still for the time being within the scope of the Deterrence Plan.

Whether to truly advance toward this possibility still required more refinement and sorting out.

Even he himself had not fully made up his mind.

After all, deep in his heart, he also harbored the thought of returning home in glory.

So he could not take the initiative to transmit this news through the Sixth Heavenly Mandate, Shiguang Xinling.

But pinning his hopes on the Great Sage Candle Dragon and Great Sage Taotie, these two wastes.

Lin Qi frowned slightly.

That seemed hopeless too.

But no rush.

After all, currently he himself had not completely perfected the new Earth plan.

So, let it wait a while longer.

Lin Qi’s mind flickered with wisdom as he waved his hand to dismiss the Great Sage Candle Dragon and Great Sage Taotie.

Before the two stepped out of Yuanshi Hall.

He spoke again.

“This expedition, the return date is hard to determine.”

“Before you two leave, go and bid a proper farewell to Xiao Ali.”

“After all, the child is still young, and does not yet understand the pain of parting by life and death.”

“You two teach her well.”

Hearing Lin Qi’s words.

The Great Sage Candle Dragon and Great Sage Taotie exchanged a glance, then curled their lips.

Deliberate. Too deliberate.

Hmph.

Waiting to secretly spy again, are you?

Dream on.

A sense of superiority in intelligence welled up spontaneously.

So they puffed out their chests and raised their heads, and together went to see Xiao Ali.

Xiao Ali was already almost six years old.

Growing ever more pink and jade-like, exquisite and adorable.

Wearing a rainbow little dress, like a little lady, she was currently studying under Bai Ling’er.

Seeing the arrival of her childhood playmates, the Great Sage Candle Dragon and Great Sage Taotie.

Xiao Ali’s eyes darted, her mind no longer on the book. She secretly lowered her head, using the book to block, and silently mouthed words at them.

Telling them to wait in the small garden.

Bai Ling’er sensed her daughter’s distraction, and glared at the Great Sage Candle Dragon and Great Sage Taotie with great displeasure.

Then she gestured for Xiao Ali to hold out her hand.

Xiao Ali immediately looked aggrieved, trembling as she extended her little hand.

Bai Ling’er was not polite either, taking out a ruler and giving Xiao Ali three heavy strokes.

Xiao Ali immediately pouted, tears welling up, pitiful beyond words.

“No crying. Study properly.”

“Only after you finish reciting can you go play.”

Bai Ling’er scolded sternly, a proper strict mother.

Though her cultivation realm was only so-so.

The Great Sage Candle Dragon and Great Sage Taotie both felt a little panicked, quickly transforming into Little Snake and Little Sheep and fleeing toward the small garden.

Not daring to disturb Bai Ling’er’s teaching of her daughter any longer.

And then they just happened to run into Fang Yun in the small garden, who was building a swing for Xiao Ali.

So the two Demon Race’s Great Sages shook themselves and, brimming with menace, surrounded Fang Yun.

“Fang Yun, you useless piece of trash!”

“Bai Ling’er is so fierce, can’t you do something about it!”

“She actually dared to hit Lord Ali, it’s simply lawless, deserving of ten thousand deaths.”

“No, you go hit her back right now!”

“Go on, give that wife of yours a proper beating.”

“If you don’t hit her, we won’t be able to stand it by tomorrow!”

…

The Great Sage Candle Dragon and Great Sage Taotie spoke one after another, surrounding Fang Yun, absolutely demanding that Fang Yun go beat Bai Ling’er.

How would Fang Yun have that kind of courage?

He was just about to find an excuse to slip away.

Suddenly, a thunderous crack sounded from the sky.

Outside the Heavenly Gate of the Demon Court, a figure made a dazzling entrance, powerful and magnificent, insufferably arrogant.

A single palm blasted down the Heavenly Gate, its golden-body Dharma Form like the Great Sun hanging high.

“Amitabha!”

“Heaven-Abandoning Emperor, hurry up and roll out here to die!”
