Jun Li looked at Li Gui's pair of bright eyes. He really found it hard to compare him with that almost insane false god who only knew how to make humans worship and respect him...

"How do you plan to become stronger?"

By devouring the souls of babies?

Li Gui thought for a moment and shook his head: "My fellow countryman, I am too weak. I can't even defeat my own kind, and I can't devour them."

"Let me think about it..."

Li Gui stared with his gray eyes, really thinking about something. He suddenly said, "My fellow villager, I want to go to the hospital."

"There are many spirits of the dead in the hospital... I think..."

"You want to improve your abilities by eating their spirits?"

Jun Li's voice was slightly chilly. Li Gui was stunned for a moment and then whispered, "It should be possible..."

"They are all dead... Those spirits will dissipate if I don't eat them... I really want to improve my abilities... You may not be used to your tricky ways, but for us, we can only improve through this method."

Jun Li did not say anything. He knew, of course, that eating the spirits of the dead was also considered cannibalism, because when a person dies it does not mean that the souls of the living are stripped away. The dead can originally become spirits, and eating such things is the same as cannibalism.

It was right. The spirits could only stay for seven days. If it didn't eat them, other weird creatures would eat them.

This is different from eating the souls of living people, Jun Li cannot criticize it...

Jun Li remained silent, his sharp eyes staring meaningfully at Li Gui in front of him. Li Gui suddenly panicked when he felt Jun Li's gaze and shrank into a ball timidly.

Jun Li looked at the trembling Li Gui and finally said in annoyance: "You are not allowed to eat the souls of living people."

"I wouldn't do such a thing..."

Li Gui stiffened his neck and suddenly shouted: "I want to save people! How can I eat the soul of a living person!"

"is it?"

Jun Li sighed heavily and was irritated and didn't want to talk anymore. Jun Li had no reason to kill this evil spirit in its current state. To cut off the cause and effect, a legitimate reason was needed, but this evil spirit...

"My fellow countryman...you said..."

"Can I create a paradise..."

Li Gui approached cautiously again, his distorted face showing a hint of expectation and longing: "I want to create a paradise here after I become stronger... so that all those who are unhappy with their lives can come and live here."

"Here they can live a carefree life, without illness or disaster, and without having to worry about food or their children's schooling..."

Li Gui gently tugged at the corner of Jun Li's clothes: "I think... since they regard me as a god... then shouldn't I do something for them?"

"They see me as their hope, so I just want to give them a good life..."

"Um…"

Jun Li didn't say anything else. He suddenly didn't understand whether he should kill this ridiculously naive man.

The consequence of not killing it is to watch it gradually degenerate into a false god that eats human souls because of human desires. Kill it...

Jun Li has no reason to kill it now. It is against the rules to cut off the cause and effect without any basis...

Do we really have to watch it being polluted by human desires step by step and become a false god?

"Promise me one thing."

Jun Li took a deep breath and said in a somewhat stiff voice: "No matter what happened, no matter what the future holds, you are not allowed to devour human souls."

Li Gui blinked and nodded slightly: "I won't."

...

These days, Jun Li watched Li Gui grow stronger step by step by absorbing spiritual bodies. Perhaps it was because he was really too weak, and even absorbing spiritual bodies could make him significantly stronger.

But the more it devoured the spirits, the faster it became stronger.

After Li Gui became stronger, he used illusion to send televisions to several families in the forest. Jun Li didn't expect that he would travel through time at the end of the year...

When seeing those families happily watching the Spring Festival Gala and making pork dumplings, Jun Li suddenly seemed to understand why Li Gui was so anxious to become stronger recently...

"Huh... I caught up... Fortunately..."

Li Gui was still too weak. A few illusion TVs made him exhausted. He smiled tiredly at Jun Li and said with a little pride: "Fellow countryman! Look! I really made their lives better!"

"They are laughing so happily! There is light in their eyes!"

Jun Li only felt a tightness in his chest. Looking at the short and bloated Li Gui lying on the ground, he felt it increasingly difficult to do it, and he could not find a reason to do it.

There is no reason how to cut off the chain of cause and effect... Bai Ze... How long can he last...

Jun Li knew that the flow of time in this timeline was forty times slower than that of the normal timeline, which meant that only a few minutes had passed in Bai Ze's place during the many days he had stayed there.

However, Bai Ze found it extremely difficult to withstand the power of the false god. He could not find a reason to sever the cause and effect, and he had no way of killing Li Gui.

"Fellow countryman! Fellow countryman?"

"Ok?"

Li Gui gently stood up, a smile appeared on his terrifying face. He stretched out his hand and used the remaining Gui Qi to conjure up a bowl of dumplings: "Happy New Year!"

Jun Li didn't pick it up right away. He felt a dull pain in his heart as he looked at Li Gui. The smile on Li Gui's face was a little off. He hesitated for a moment and laughed again: "Don't despise me! When I become stronger, I will turn it into real dumplings for you!"

"Promise me one thing."

Jun Li squatted down and stared at the short Li Gui. Li Gui restrained his smile and only heard Jun Li speak word by word: "Promise me again that you will not eat the souls of living people no matter what."

"My fellow countryman..."

"promise me."

Otherwise I really can only kill you...

I don’t want this…

Don't give me the "chance" to cut off the cause and effect...

Li Gui blinked and nodded as before: "I really won't do that kind of thing!"

Jun Li remained silent, his eyes still serious and sharp. His eyes made Li Gui feel uneasy. After a long time, he nodded and said, "Okay."

Li Gui was lying on the grass when he suddenly looked at Jun Li: "Hey, fellow countryman! You are a heavenly master, so you don't want to see me eat human souls, right? What would you do if I ate a soul one day?"

Jun Li paused and then said in a low voice: "I will kill you."

The moment you started eating human souls and violating the laws of nature, it gave me the opportunity to sever the cause and effect... Then I would kill you to prevent you from becoming a false god...

Li Gui was stunned for a moment and then smiled, saying very easily: "Then you can't kill me. I won't do such a thing."

"Better so."

Jun Li looked at Li Gui with an extremely complicated expression, who was very happy because he gave material life to humans. He sighed and felt more and more annoyed.

If Li Gui really didn't eat human souls, he wouldn't become a false god, and he could change the "result" of becoming a false god through the "cause"...

Jun Li glanced at it and thought to himself: You'd better not give me the "opportunity" to kill you. In this way, as long as you insist on not eating human souls, I can find a way to change the "result", which can also prevent you from becoming a false god... But if you start eating human souls... Then I can only get a legitimate "opportunity" to kill you...

I also hope that you and your paradise can be preserved, which can be regarded as my selfish feelings towards you...

I hope you don’t trigger the “opportunity” to cut off the cause and effect…

I hope... you don't embark on the path of becoming a "false god"...
