Li Dao looked somewhat helpless.
He also wanted to be a lazy bum, a tyrant in the Heavenly Court of Merlo!
But those damned swarms of insects won't allow it; if I don't work hard...
So let alone being a lazy bum or a tyrant, he probably wouldn't even be able to be a Skeleton Emperor.
“I know, otherwise I wouldn’t be working so hard. I had already arranged everything when you deduced the conversion code.”
"As for the situation on Zhixin's side, it is estimated that it will be almost finished in another year."
He Xi turned to look at the young man standing beside her, who exuded an aura of Daoist immortality. She waved her hand to close the panel, clenched her jade-like hand into a fist, patted her shoulder, and said.
"Hmm... I'll send you the conversion code now. I'll need your help."
Li Daohan smiled.
"It's not that hard, but you'd better do well tonight. You haven't handed in your homework for half a year..."
……
After Li Dao transmitted the conversion code to He Xi, he left the research lab amidst the other party's "refined" teasing.
"Phew! No wonder they say some women are born scoundrels, they just hide it well..."
Li Dao glanced back at the research lab, then strode away.
The conversion code was handed over to He Xi. Next, once Zhi Xin's side finishes the celestial work, we can start working on it immediately.
"Preparations for the Fourth Calamity are almost complete; it's time to prepare for the rollout of martial arts..."
Li Dao strolled through the streets of Juxia City, having changed his Taoist robe into ordinary clothes and made minor adjustments to his appearance.
It ensures that only very close acquaintances can tell at a glance, while others cannot.
Otherwise, given his current fame and prestige, he would probably be surrounded by a dense crowd of onlookers as soon as he appeared, just like a monkey in a zoo.
Because Li Dao was in charge, Juxia City was spared from destruction by the Taotie, and the presence of the army made the area very stable.
This ensures that the influx of migrants will not disrupt the existing order.
Li Dao mingled in the crowd with his hands in his pockets, experiencing the flavors of the mortal world.
The myriad aspects of human life.
Happiness, pain, wealth, poverty, and so on.
A city can encompass almost every class division.
The poor, ordinary people, the rich, bureaucrats, and so on.
All of this was caused by the great reshuffling resulting from the Taotie's war against Earth.
Li Dao saw it that way, after all, he used to be a major general, but now he has become one of the few high-ranking officials.
Each member of the elite troops holds a key position.
If Li Dao hadn't been uninterested in these things, he probably would have launched a purge the moment he became a high-ranking official.
Then replace them all with your own people.
As Li Dao passed by a milk tea shop, he suddenly caught a glimpse of an acquaintance out of the corner of his eye.
Her long, golden hair still drew attention, and she sat cross-legged on a chair, calmly sipping the milk tea on the table in front of her.
It attracted many passersby who glanced at it briefly, not daring to look openly for fear of offending them.
Having experienced war and witnessed the existence of angels, he held a deep respect for beautiful, blonde women who might be angels.
After all, the relationship between the angel and that person was extraordinary.
Especially since this is Juxia City, those who don't know their place will find it hard to survive in chaotic times.
Of course, this specifically refers to people who fled from other places.
Angel Ying sat in her chair, sipping her milk tea and watching the discussions in the Sacred Knowledge Treasury social section, when suddenly she felt a gaze directed at her.
So she closed the Sacred Knowledge Treasury data page and followed her senses to the direction of that gaze.
Then she realized that the person looking at her was a young man with fair and delicate skin, somewhat resembling a pretty boy from an idol drama, and who looked somewhat familiar.
Angel Ying flipped through her database, then smiled slightly with her rosy lips: "Aren't you going to come over and sit down?"
Such a statement naturally attracted the attention of passersby, who all turned their gazes to the handsome young man.
Jealousy flashed in his eyes.
Damn it, being handsome is such a plus! Unlike them, who look like NPCs.
Ignoring the envious glances, Li Dao walked over and sat down opposite them with an air of nonchalance.
"Sister Ying, you seem to have a lot of free time."
Li Dao looked at Angel Ying opposite him and made a teasing remark.
"I do have a lot of free time. After all, if I don't move out, Sister Xi will find an excuse to send me away."
Angel Ying smiled and twirled her hair around her temple with her jade-like fingers. She stopped calling him "King Tianji" and started calling him "Sister Xi."
After all, they were angels of the same era, and their close relationship meant they addressed each other as sisters.
Angel Ying is usually quite particular about etiquette, so she rarely uses that term.
"Hmm... indeed, even if He Xi didn't send you out, I would probably have. After all, I can't exactly feed you dog food, can I?"
Li Dao nodded in agreement.
"Ah……"
Angel Ying rolled her eyes at Li Daoyi: "You're such a fickle person, forgetting all your principles for the sake of beauty. I was so good to you before."
"But speaking of which, how far have things progressed between you and Sister Xi?"
"It hasn't reached that stage yet; it's just close contact."
Li Dao smiled and answered Angel Ying's question.
……
Time passed slowly as they chatted, and when they had finished talking, the two left together.
In the days that followed, Li Dao returned to his daily routine.
He meditates and cultivates himself every morning, takes three women out for fun at noon, and plays video games with friends in the afternoon.
One area, three areas, a chaotic massacre.
In League of Legends, there are basically no rivals.
And this went on for a year.
During this period, Naisa finally took a solid step, although the process was somewhat bumpy.
The quiet night was originally meant to be He Xi's special time.
So, when Nai Sha quietly knocked on Li Dao's door and was about to pounce on him, she discovered something.
It was He Xi who opened the door.
This is where things get awkward.
The awkwardness between the two women lasted for two days, but as expected of good friends, they were no longer so shy and embarrassed by the third day.
On the contrary, because of her age, she was particularly open-minded about this matter, and then, Nai Sha shamelessly slept with her apprentice's man.
Yan, fast asleep, was completely unaware of all this.
As for He Xi.
So much has happened this past year.
After the transformation code was deduced, Karl was finally able to announce his retirement and go back to focus on his Void.
Although Karl failed to produce the conversion code, forcing Li Dao to take matters into his own hands, Li Dao did not intend to go back on his word.
As long as Karl doesn't do anything stupid to provoke him again, he wouldn't mind if Karl lived a long and healthy life researching the void.
Who knows, maybe one day in the future, they will actually be able to unravel the mystery of the void?
Keisha's fear stemmed entirely from the fact that the void was unknown, would conflict with the existing order, and contradicted the principles of justice.
That's why it's necessary to suppress dissent and maintain order in the known universe.
Otherwise, it's very likely that we'll enter a state of the Dark Forest Law, just like in The Three-Body Problem.
However, Li Dao didn't care about the threat of the void. By the time Karl unravels the mysteries of the void, he would probably be invincible throughout the universe.
It's uncertain who will threaten whom at that point.
Meanwhile, Zhi Xin's celestial body manufacturing skills have become increasingly proficient, and the manufacturing speed has become faster and faster. Today, it is finally complete.
With the number of celestial bodies reaching Li Dao's requirements, Angel International Building Group began to ramp up its efforts, launching advertisements in various locations.
In order to make gaming accessible to everyone, Li Dao adopted He Xi's suggestion to first deploy brain-interface gaming pods in Juxia City as a pilot area.
The entire process was very fast, and with Li Dao constantly supervising, the efficiency was almost visible to the naked eye.
Those who practice martial arts became the primary targets.
Indeed, more than half a year ago, Li Dao expounded on the philosophy of martial arts through multimedia and uploaded his martial arts manual, which integrates all his martial arts skills, to the internet.
When the martial arts manual first appeared online, it caused a great uproar. After it was confirmed that Li Dao himself had uploaded it, many people downloaded and saved it.
Many people even fantasize about mastering martial arts and, like Li Dao, punching Taotie and kicking demons, ultimately winning the heart of an angelic beauty.
Of course, there are also many people who are full of fighting spirit, ready to show off their skills and dominate the next generation after they have mastered their skills.
As for why it's the next life...
There was a Daoist patriarch from the same era as you, and you dominated the world. So what? You want to suppress this patriarch, Li Dao?
However, while fantasies are beautiful, reality is cruel.
When they started practicing this martial arts manual, they suddenly realized, "What is all this nonsense?"
What does it mean to temper one's Qi and blood?
What does it mean for Qi and blood to be perfectly balanced and generate innate Qi?
