Chapter 924: Chapter 866: Li Qing: Yes, I Am That Renaissance Man

"Huh?"

Once again, he was confused, feeling as if he had forgotten something.

He silently sensed the High-tier Dao within himself once more.

He was both a Saint of Space-Time and an ordinary Saint of Life, a realm short, missing one element of matter.

Currently, he was no longer in Yin-Yang Harmony, lacking one element; his almost perfect Yin Yang Cultivation was no longer flawless, and he no longer had the power to observe the entire time axis—naturally, he could no longer see Li Qing, who was shutting down all over the place.

He suddenly felt inexplicably odd, as if he had forgotten something.

But no matter how hard he thought, he couldn’t recall; for the first time, he felt this way, almost omniscient and omnipotent as he was.

"Has the timeline changed?"

He guessed some possibilities, but could only follow the history of the present universe.

"Ah, regardless of what the other me was before, I am ultimately one element short now, unable to certify two Yuan Primordial Holy Positions simultaneously; I must wait for an opportunity."

"The existence of the future, coming to my future universe billions of years later, observing me, making me reality."

"And I will become a true Yuan Primordial Saint, going to the battlefield to search for the Dao sealed by several Yuan Primordial Saints, obtaining the matter blueprint to complete the final art, and simultaneously certifying dual positions."

He sighed, his gaze landing on this Crystal Wall Universe.

Beautiful, magnificent.

These crystal walls are the most beautiful scenery within the Multi-Dimensional universe!

Strangely, why do I feel a hint of nausea...

"Saints, wait for me. I am the destined one." He closed his eyes again, quietly awaiting the century of the future, revealing a satisfied smile:

"As long as I truly appear, it also means the supernormal universe, surpassing all creation stories, has fully emerged!"

He remained full of anticipation.

...

...

Of course, Li Qing was unaware of the other party’s matters.

After all, the future holds infinite possibilities, endless probabilities.

But even if he knew of the other’s existence, he wouldn’t be surprised, because he shut down the universe to deal with that unknown possibility as a renaissance man.

You feel manipulated?

Then that’s right!

Because you’re the one being manipulated.

Not only were Atabia and others afraid, but so was Li Qing.

After all, who knows what monsters might emerge in the future? Better to strike first.

In the following time, Li Qing continued shutting down universes, quickly reaching three thousand consecutive closures.

No further omissions.

Any new universes that appear will use these End of Dharma Era universes as templates, and any new universes can only be End of Dharma Universes.

"Shutdown complete, starting to update my crystal wall version."

Li Qing murmured in his heart.

He can begin updating the crystal wall.

As long as his technology remains ahead of the times, with regular shutdowns and updates, maintaining the servers, they won’t discern any issues with the crystal wall.

...

Elsewhere.

The four Yuan Primordial Saints continued their actions.

They acknowledged from afar that the Saint Li Qing continually shut down.

However, during the battle with the Light Ancient God, Atabia suddenly spoke up: "Severing the cultivation path of another Yuan Primordial Saint, future beings can only certify Space-Time Saints."

"Naturally so."

The Light Ancient God chuckled: "The era favors the fittest; in the End of Dharma Era, after proliferating for tens of thousands of generations, the strong ones among all beings will greatly increase in Time, Space, and Life."

You may have Matter Path talent, but even in the Three Thousand Great Path, you can’t cultivate; you’ll grow old and perish.

And those with Space talent will become strong in the End of Dharma Era. Over generations, through bloodline inheritance from ancestors, optimization occurs, and more descendants with space systems will emerge.

The other two cases are the same.

"What exactly are you saying?" The Light Ancient God snorted coldly, "You’re not just suggesting that the Yuan Primordial Saints emerging in our battlefield will all be Space-Time Saints, are you?"

"I’m saying that this person, Li Qing, he’s very problematic." Atabia hesitated but ultimately spoke earnestly.

"What’s the issue?" The Light Ancient God asked.

"While it seems he acts in the interest of us Yuan Primordial Saints, slashing future strong individuals by a blow, limiting renaissance men from becoming stronger than us."

Atabia said, "In truth? I suspect he’s more problematic."

The Light Ancient God looked at him.

Atabia said, "I suspect he has the possibility of being a renaissance man."

"What do you mean?" The Light Ancient God’s heart skipped a beat, showing puzzlement.

Atabia said, "If he’s slashing other renaissance men, what if he himself is a renaissance man?"

"Then he’s just buying himself time!"

"He’s now a Saint of Spiritual Essence, and eventually, he’ll also cultivate the other branch of Space-Time Saints, while the other renaissance beings are being eliminated by him. As long as he quietly hides among us in cultivation, and later achieves perfection, when he acts, we won’t be able to stop him."

Upon hearing this, the Light Ancient God glanced at Atabia.

Unexpectedly, this seemingly rough yet sharp mind had thought this far and planned accordingly.

They intend to kill "me?"

Indeed, deeply thought-out.

What he mentioned does make sense.

If this "Li Qing" is a renaissance man, then this scheme would indeed be terrifying, establishing a firm victory.

He simply needs to quietly disguise as having no aptitude, and keep developing—he’s destined to win.

"The four of us know each other well, but he’s unknown."

Atabia spoke coldly: "Given the unknown, we four should first join forces to eliminate him, which is the most stable plan."

The Light Ancient God was taken aback and said, "That makes sense. We indeed should team up to kill this Yuan Primordial Saint."

Yuan Primordial Saints are hard to kill.

But with four Yuan Primordial Saints joining forces, killing him would only be a matter of time.

Having said that, they silently communicated with the Emperor and Elis during the battle.

After all, they were old acquaintances. Quickly accomplishing an agreement to eliminate an unfamiliar new arrival.

This person seems suspicious, best to clear the field first!

BOOM!

In the next moment, the four Saints jointly launched a sudden attack on Li Qing.

"What are you doing?" Li Qing fumed with rage, glaring at the four Yuan Primordial Saints.

"Are you a renaissance man?"

Elis suddenly chuckled: "You’re the child of destiny, a destined node; the era erupts because of you. With your emergence, the whole cosmos cheers, destiny paves the way for you, scripting an anthem."

"No, I’m not." Li Qing donned a simple, genuine expression of astonishment, furious: "You dare suspect me, knowing the odds are so low. How could I be?"

"No matter how low the probability, destiny is feared."

The Emperor said: "The cosmos’s great trend and destiny are mysterious, aiding protagonists in various coincidental ways. Great cultivators never believe in probability, especially those practicing temporal arts."

"In this world, only something absolutely impossible or inevitably emergent exists. Right now, if you are the protagonist of destiny, you are indeed filled with coincidences. As long as we don’t suspect you, you’ll ascend securely."

"I understand now, no matter what, you won’t abide variables, you intend to kill me." Li Qing’s expression changed, his demeanor turned serene and composed.

The next moment.

A terrifying aura erupted abruptly.

As if some dreadful entity had descended upon the cosmos. Yin and Yang were twins, two paths merging.

His eyes were cold as he said, "You’ve guessed correctly; I am indeed versatile, and I’ve just certified entry into two paths. You four representing the decay of the era, I am the destined... renaissance man, knowing my fate the moment I embarked on cultivation."

"I am born for the cosmos, destined as a node of the era, preordained to pioneer the next history of the entire cosmos as its greatest genius."
