Devouring the Stars: The Master of Metaphysics

Looking down at the kneeling figures among the thirty-six piles of objects in the square below, Li Qi said coldly: "Cherry."

Among the two people kneeling on one knee, the very young-looking Cherry raised his head and looked at the sky at the little guy who was obviously only a domain lord, but could control their life and death. He had complicated thoughts in his heart, but he had no fear of death in his heart. .

Because he knew that the immortal gods, led by Zhu Hanhou, had reached a deal with Li Qi, who was judging them, and that he and Andri, two people who had a close relationship with their ancestors, would not be sentenced to death.

The death penalty can be avoided, but the prison sentence must be endured. He does not know how many years in prison he will be sentenced to, and where he will be held. Everything is unknown until he is tried.

"Cherry, in the Lingqing Empire you killed hundreds of billions of citizens of the universe over hundreds of thousands of years, which is a heinous crime." Li Qi read out Cherry's crime in a cold voice, "I sentence you..."

The immortal gods of the Luojia tribe present listened with a relaxed attitude. After Zhuhanhou and Li Qi reached a deal, Cherry would not be sentenced to death. As for how many years he would be sentenced to prison, they did not care.

For immortal gods with eternal lifespan, as long as the environment is not too harsh, such as the notorious Star Prison and other places, hundreds of millions of years in prison are nothing. After all, there is an extremely real virtual universe.

"It's not bad to be able to save two people, at least it's decent..."

Zhuhan Hou quietly watched Li Qi pronounce the verdict, feeling relaxed and helpless. Of course he wanted to save the five immortal gods if possible, but it was obviously difficult to do.

With the order of Virtual Universe Company and the trial conducted by a genius of Li Qi's stature, it would be unjustifiable if a sufficient number of people were not allowed to die.

You must know that in the trial of the Coretto family in the Lingqing Star Territory, Li Qike sentenced all the people on trial to death, which shows how strict his trial standards are.

He made a deal to save the two immortal gods who were related to the ancestor. He could not only answer Li Qi and Virtual Universe Company, but also save some face of their Luojia clan. Everyone was happy.

King Qimai also relaxed a lot, and thought to himself: "Fortunately, Li Qi knew the rules and agreed to the deal with the Luojia tribe. If all 41 Luojia tribe members were really executed, King Hongji might be furious. I I don’t want to provoke the invincible king.”

Realizing that King Hong's strength has returned to the invincible level, King Qi Mace is under great pressure.

If he faced King Hong'e who was at the ultimate level of King-Sealing, he could guarantee Li Qi's safety, but it was different with the King-Sealing Invincible level. He couldn't compete with this kind of thing. Even he might get involved, and even more so. Forget about protecting the safety of others.

While everyone was thinking differently, Li Qi's sentencing was still going on, "I sentence you to death!"

In the square below, Cherry, who was kneeling on one knee and feeling relaxed, heard Li Qi's verdict. His eyes suddenly widened with disbelief on his face. He did not expect that the verdict would be like this!

So, he stood up and roared angrily, "Li Qi! How dare you sentence me to death?!"

Cherry had no idea that he would be sentenced to death.

You know, Li Qi had reached a deal with Zhuhan Hou. It was impossible for him to be sentenced to death, but in the end he was sentenced to death!

"What?! Death penalty!"

Li Qi's sentencing result shocked countless people present. They really didn't expect such a result. If he hadn't already reached a deal with Zhuhan Hou, why would he sentence Cherry to death?

When Marquis Zhuhan heard the verdict, he couldn't help but show surprise on his face. He turned to look at Li Qi and shouted: "Li Qi! You..."

"How could it be possible?! Li Qi was still sentenced to death!" King Qiqi was shocked inwardly, "Didn't he make a deal with Marquis Zhuhan?"

"It's good to have a teacher who is greater than the Lord of the Universe." Miao Li, who was standing in the void but behind Li Qi, said to himself after hearing the verdict: "Even in the face of a king like King Hong'e Even though he is an invincible and powerful man, His Highness still has the confidence to sentence the juniors who are related to him to death."

"Shut up!"

An icy scolding sound sounded. The sound was not loud but it reached the ears of everyone present. There was also a terrifying coercion that enveloped everyone, making people shudder.

Everyone looked for the voice and saw King Hong'e in white robes and armor. The anger was obvious on his cold face. Under the anger, the anger between his eyebrows dissipated a little.

"The strong have privileges, but our human race has long established a bottom line. As long as you don't do anything beyond the bottom line, you won't be judged!"

"Look, apart from you 41 people, have anyone else been judged?" King Hongjie scolded in a cold voice: "If you do something that exceeds the bottom line of our human race, you will have to accept the price of punishment. This is the iron law! "

boom!

After King Hong's words fell, the terrifying coercion that shrouded everyone condensed, directly pressing against the standing Cherry below. The immortal divine power mixed with it penetrated into the latter's body, instantly annihilating the soul imprint in his body.

Boom boom.

All the soul imprints in the divine body were annihilated, and Cherry fell directly to the ground. He opened his mouth slightly to speak, but could no longer make a sound.

"continue!"

King Hong'er tilted his head slightly, looking directly at Li Qi with eyes full of anger, and his voice was extremely cold.

Being glared at by the invincible king, even the determined Li Qi couldn't help but feel chilled. If such a strong man attacked him, King Qi Mace might not be able to save him.

When King Hongye spoke, even though the immortal gods of the Luojia tribe were angry at Li Qi for not abiding by the deal, they could only express their anger on their faces or eyes, but could not speak directly.

Li Qi adjusted his mentality slightly, and then called out in a deep voice: "Andri."

In the square below, Andri, who was looking down at Cherry's body with his head tilted to the side and a stunned look on his face, looked up. His heart was full of helplessness and despair. He knew that he was doomed this time because Li Qi had never thought about obeying and chasing the cold. Hou's transaction.

"Andri, you slaughtered more than a trillion people in the process of establishing and developing a skeletal organization. You committed a heinous crime!"

Li Qi read out Andri's crime, and then pronounced the sentence in a cold voice: "I sentence you to death!"

boom!

Endless terrifying pressure came, and the mixed immortal gods penetrated into Andri's body. The terrifying soul attack instantly annihilated all the soul marks of the latter.

Boom boom.

His soul was annihilated, and Andri, whose body was intact, fell to the ground and died. The look of despair on his face was clearly visible.

"Very good!" After executing Andri, King Hong'e looked at Li Qi with eyes that seemed to be burning with anger, and said in a cold voice: "As expected of a man who has worshiped under the superpower of my human race for tens of millions of epochs. A genius, the penalty is very fair!”

Under the angry gaze of King Hong'e, the invincible king, Li Qi couldn't help but feel his scalp numb, and a sense of extreme danger emerged deep in his heart.

"King Hong'e." Li Qi lowered his head slightly and explained: "As you said, the strong ones in our human race have privileges, and the race has also set a bottom line. Andri and others have done things that exceeded the bottom line."

"If they have made an indelible contribution to the ethnic group, I can also open the net to them and not sentence them to the death penalty, but they do not!" "Since he did not contribute to the ethnic group, he made a matter of surpassing the bottom line. Li Qi finally said solemnly: "Then according to my trial standards, they can only be sentenced to death!"

"Hmph!" King Hongye snorted coldly, moved his gaze upwards, stared at the empty place behind Li Qi, and asked: "The trial is over, can I leave?"

Li Qi still lowered his head, "King Hong'e, please help yourself."

King Hongye glanced at Li Qi, and then disappeared without a trace the moment he turned around, leaving only slight spatial fluctuations.

"King Hong'e made him an invincible being, and he is also a good friend of my werewolf clan's holy ancestor, Venerable Jiufeng." After King Hong'e left, Mu Li's heart, which was almost tense to the limit, relaxed, "Your Highness is really powerful. Yes, he can still remain calm in the face of such strong men."

I admired His Highness Miu Li in his heart. He felt extremely pressured even though he didn't face King Hong'e directly, but Li Qi managed to endure it and even had a conversation and explanation. This was something he could not match.

"call!"

On the other side, King Qimai breathed a sigh of relief when he saw King Hong'e teleporting away.

The invincible king's strong sense of oppression was just a little worse than that of the Universe Venerable. If he hadn't seen the Lord of Ganwu Kingdom from time to time, he would have been so nervous that he teleported away with Li Qi just now.

"Li Qi, you are so courageous!" King Qiqi Chuanyin praised: "Facing the pressure of a strong man like King Hongji, you can still defend yourself calmly."

"It's just a matter of firmness." Li Qi replied with a relaxed voice.

His tense heart relaxed as King Hongji left, and the sense of danger disappeared at that time.

King Qi Mace once again praised, "You are determined enough to keep your true heart in front of such powerful men. No wonder you were able to achieve such achievements in just over 600 years."

Although he also understood that Li Qi had a teacher who surpassed the level of the Lord of the Universe, which gave him the confidence to face King Hong'e directly, but he could still maintain his true intention under the pressure of the strong man's momentum. This can only be done by those with a strong will.

Just like when faced with danger, when a creature faces danger, it has the instinct to flee from fear. Only those with a strong will and restraint of instinct can face the danger and rise to the challenge.

After the compliment, King Qimai said with a somewhat contented voice: "The trial is over, we can return to Qianwu Universe Country."

"It's not even close." Li Qi's voice was a little helpless, "Zhuhan Hou and the others are still waiting for my explanation."

Upon hearing this, King Qimai glanced at the immortal gods of the Luojia tribe who were watching here, and said through a message: "Is it time to explain, who made you agree to the deal and sentenced those two people to death?"

Li Qi was about to answer when he heard Marquis Zhuhan say in a cold voice: "Li Qi, you should give us an explanation."

The immortal gods of the Luojia tribe listened and cast their angry, questioning, and disdainful eyes on Li Qi, wanting to hear the answer from the man who had abandoned the deal.

"There's nothing to explain." Li Qi shook his head slightly.

Marquis Zhuhan, who had always wanted to befriend Li Qi, couldn't help but feel angry in his heart, and asked: "What do you mean? You promised to let Cherry and Andre go, but you still sentenced them to death in the end!"

"I answered clearly before, which meant that I understood the identities of Cherry and Andri, rather than agreeing to let them go." Li Qi replied: "Just like what I said to King Hong'e before, since they have done something beyond the ethnic group The bottom line is that you should accept my judgment standards.”

"If they have made great contributions to the ethnic group, then I will naturally give them a wide berth, but they didn't!"

Having said this, Li Qi shook his head slightly, "I have also checked the military merit information of these 41 people. Among them, the lowest strength among them is the ninth level of world lord level, but their military merit is not as good as that of Tuotu, the eighth level of world lord level of the Coletto family. Pass."

Upon hearing this explanation, Zhuhan Hou was slightly startled, and then fell silent after thinking for a moment.

Just as Li Qi answered, he did not agree to let Cherry and Andri go. At the same time, he also somewhat recognized the outcome of their trial. Of course, it would be great if the people being tried were not Luojia people, so he would support its trial results.

After hearing Li Qi's answer, most of the immortal gods of the Luojia tribe felt as tangled as Marquis Zhuhan.

Because they have all fought for the human race in foreign battlefields, no matter what their purpose was before going, at least they went.

I have fought with foreigners, and the blood of foreigners has flowed in my hands, but there are also brothers and comrades who have died at the hands of foreigners!

Having witnessed cruel wars in foreign battlefields, many of them have much better character than those who have never been to foreign battlefields, so no one does anything that goes beyond the bottom line of the ethnic group.

For the 41 people who were judged, many of these Luojia Immortal Gods despised them in their hearts. They despised them for not fighting for the human race, but they still enjoyed the resources to become the immortals of the Realm Lord, and they also did things that exceeded the bottom line of the race.

At this time, an immortal god of the Luojia tribe said in a deep voice: "Even if this is the case, don't forget that the blood of the Luojia tribe is flowing in your body. Your current achievements are due to the help of our Luojia tribe." !”

"Ha!" Hearing such words, Li Qi chuckled and said: "I have the blood of the Luojia clan, but I am not a member of the main line or branch of the Luojia clan, and I have not enjoyed the resources and training of the Luojia clan. "

"My family raised me, and Virtual Universe Company raised me."

"When my grandfather was trafficked to the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, where were you, the Luojia Clan? When my family faced a crisis, where were you, the Luojia Clan?"

Li Qi spread his hands and asked with a sneer: "So, what does my current achievements have to do with your Luojia tribe?"

Upon hearing this, the immortal gods of the Luojia tribe fell completely silent.

Yes, Li Qi's current achievements have nothing to do with the Luojia clan.

What's more important is that now that this relationship has been broken, Li Qi no longer has any hope of joining the Luojia clan. It is very likely that the Luojia clan will lose an extremely powerful person who is at the peak of the title of king.

"King Qimai." Seeing the silence of everyone in the Luojia tribe, Li Qi turned to King Qimai and said, "Let's go back to Qianwu Universe Kingdom."

"Okay." Looking at Li Qi, King Qimai sighed in his heart, and then teleported away with Li Qi and Miao Li.

Among the countless space fragments in the space mezzanine, a man with a majestic figure and wearing simple training clothes murmured to himself after watching Li Qi and his party leave...
