Chapter 405 Calculations from the Past

Li Wei's pointing gesture was neither extraordinary nor particularly surprising.

Very ordinary and plain.

Even the old monsters who had been watching this place closely couldn't figure out anything from the live stream.

Even Jiu Shiji himself was stunned. He thought that Li Wei's move would be something truly earth-shattering, but Li Wei had already withdrawn his finger, and he was still standing there in a daze.

what's the situation?

Could it be that his cultivation level is insufficient, and the gap between him and the senior in front of him is too great?

Or……

Ninety Extremes was shocked. As expected of a senior, he had already reached the level of simplifying the Great Dao, simplifying it to such a wondrous degree!

"Don't you feel that what I just did contained some mystery that you can't imagine or understand?"

Li Wei suddenly spoke up at this moment.

Jiu Shi nodded, otherwise it would have been impossible for him not to see anything, except that Li Wei simply nodded.

"So, you're wrong."

"I was wrong?" Ninety-tenths asked in confusion.

"Just now, it was just a normal finger gesture."

Li Wei said calmly, "There are no supernatural powers or skills involved; it's just a simple action."

Ninety was extremely puzzled. "What does Senior mean?"

Li Wei smiled meaningfully, "I just want to tell you that many things you take for granted are actually... not as complicated as you think."

"He might have just done something simple, said something ordinary, or even..."

Li Wei didn't say what came next, but only hinted at it.

In fact... after venting his anger on these reincarnators, Li Wei's mood had calmed down considerably, so he was just joking with Jiu Shiji, intending to tease him. He himself didn't even know what nonsense he was talking about.

However, after hearing Li Wei's words, Jiu Shiji showed a look of sudden realization.

"I see, I understand!"

Huh? You understand? What do you understand?

"That's how it is, that's how it is..."

Which one?

"Senior, are you trying to teach me some lessons?"

Is there...?

"First, you probably want to tell me not to overcomplicate things, not to assume that many things are difficult to accomplish, and not to mystify things that are not difficult. Just like cultivation, you should have an unwavering mindset and see everything as simple."

"Secondly, you are telling me that in the end, you don't need any external objects. A single finger can be a peerless sword. I am ashamed that I was distracted by external objects and caused me to deviate from the right path."

"Thirdly, I understand what you mean, senior. You said that finger strike was nothing special, but you were probably just trying not to discourage me. I think I vaguely sensed that the finger strike contained some mysterious and unpredictable power, as if it opened up a new perspective for me. In other words, you are saying that simple things can actually be very complex."

"Yes, yes, you're right..."

You've managed to come up with three completely fabricated things from this; young man, you're quite the character.

Li Wei couldn't help but think more highly of this so-called inheritor; it was a real shame that such a person didn't go into making special effects movies.

Li Wei did not intend to attack him, not because he feared his strength, but because Li Wei knew that although Jiu Shiji seemed to be treating him peacefully now, he was actually extremely proud, the kind of pride that was genuine. He would never truly get involved in the matter of the bounty on Yuzuriha Inori.

It's definitely this Olves who's using someone else's power to his advantage, acting under someone else's banner.

In fact, those people believe that Jiushiji's expressed attitude was due to certain actions of Orves, which led to their misconception. Firstly, they felt that Jiushiji valued Orves so much that Orves's actions must have been authorized by Jiushiji. Secondly, they did not believe that Orves was so bold as to use Jiushiji's name.

However, in reality, Orvis did indeed go mad for the sake of his Zerg race and for his own inner ambitions.

Li Wei was a little confused. He was prepared to teach this guy who called himself his successor a lesson, but he didn't expect that when the guy actually stood in front of him, he would chicken out.

The reason behind this, like the strangeness of Orves, was something Li Wei couldn't understand.

Just then, something from Orves' dead body transferred to Li Wei, and Li Wei's expression changed.

because……

That thing was a trace of the "past" that he should have sealed inside. Although it was only a very, very small trace, it still belonged to the past.

No wonder Orvis's aptitude improved so much in such a short time, jumping from the bottom to the top level, because he had at least been infected by a trace of the past.

However, the problem lies precisely in this faint trace of air, and it is extremely serious.

Li Wei had no recollection of this at all. Why would the insectoid race, which was so far away, be related to the past?

The next moment, Li Wei thought of Orvis's words: his uncle, the Insect King Hamergen, a god he had killed, was now tainted with the mark of hatred.

As Li Wei recalled these things, he suddenly felt that something within him that shouldn't have been in his perception was fragmented. That was the hidden mark of hatred, not hidden by the Insect King Hamergen, but... concealed by the past.

"Did you do all of this?"

Although Li Wei phrased it as a question, he was very certain in his heart.

Only you can scheme against yourself.

In an instant, countless data streams flashed through Li Wei's mind, and his eyes seemed to be constantly flashing with light. This was Li Wei conducting an astonishing analysis at a terrifying speed.

In that instant, Li Wei understood the past's intentions and couldn't help but frown.

He is now in a fragmented state, very incomplete. In terms of calculation ability, he is no match for the past, even though the past was sealed within his body. But inside the seal, the past was almost complete!

Although Li Wei knew that what he had done in the past was probably nothing, and that he had probably only tampered with the Zerg's hatred mark, even with this small action, Li Wei could instantly sense a huge scheme, a scheme aimed at him, and at his "present".

In the past, he was restless. Now that he has laid the groundwork and made his move, it means he has absolute confidence.

But there is no solution. Unless Li Wei backs down or changes his bottom line, the plan will inevitably succeed.

The trigger was those reincarnators, who had already been killed by other anomalies during his conversation with Ninety Extremes.

Li Wei believed that those outsiders watching them were secretly stirring up trouble.

"No wonder you value Orves so much."

Li Wei suddenly spoke to the ninety-ninth level.

Chapter 406 [Third Update] This humble woman has no way to repay your kindness

Li Wei's question came as a surprise. If it were an ordinary person who wasn't quick enough to react, they wouldn't understand it. In fact, even those watching the live broadcast didn't quite grasp what Li Wei meant.

However, Jiu Shiji was in the know, and he reacted quickly enough, so he subconsciously gave a wry smile.

"You... you figured it out."

Jiushiji originally wanted to use a more respectful form of address, but he immediately suppressed the idea and replaced it with the more equal "you".

Li Wei clearly saw through Jiu Shiji's inner thoughts, so he nodded in acknowledgment.

The number ninety further confirmed his conjecture.

In fact, the reason why Jiushiji valued Orvis so much was exactly the same as Li Wei's analysis: Jiushiji sensed Orvis's aura from him.

Whether it was something he deliberately made Jiushiji sense in the past, or something Jiushiji happened to occasionally sense when he was just interested in something and had come into contact with his aura, Jiushiji remembered it.

This aura, rather than his current self, is more like his past self.

As for why the level ninety-year-old could recognize Li Wei, even though Li Wei's aura was no longer the same as before, it all comes down to this trace of aura.

When he first met Orvis, Jiushiji disliked him and wanted to do something to him. However, just as Jiushiji was about to make his move, he felt a tremor in his heart. This was the opportunity for him to sense something hidden in Orvis. He even realized that this aura seemed to be on Orvis and would retaliate against anything that could threaten him.

At the very beginning, Jiushiji's opinion on Orves was that this worm might have some connection with the tyrant, and that connection was probably benign; otherwise, this energy would have already exploded and killed him.

He just hadn't expected that this thing had a way of being beyond his imagination. There were deeper things involved that Jiu Shiji didn't intend to let him explore. Knowing his limits and knowing when to advance and retreat was one of his greatest strengths. He was very clear that these things were not for him to get involved in.

When Li Wei's attempt to kill Orvis failed to trigger a counterattack, Ninety Extremes had already guessed what was going on. Therefore, he made a few attempts to test the waters. There were two attempts: the first was against Li Wei, and the second was a direct attack on Orvis. As it turned out, this time when he launched a fatal blow against Orvis, nothing unexpected happened.

The second attempt was actually a gamble, but he was willing to gamble, and he won.

Actually, his first gamble was also a gamble, and he won it again.

Although Li Wei didn't say it, he understood all the twists and turns.

Therefore, Li Wei temporarily approves of this junior who is not bad-natured, has the pride that a normal genius should have, yet is not lacking in awe and respect, acts decisively and bravely without being reckless, and has had the opportunity to receive indirect guidance from him.

"You truly live up to your reputation as a senior," Jiu Shiji exclaimed.

After exchanging a few polite words with Li Wei, Jiu Shiji bid farewell and prepared to leave this troublesome place. This decisive and efficient approach earned him secret praise.

If the host has no intention of keeping the person, then this tactful behavior can win favor. If the host has an intention, then the host will speak up. In any case, the initiative is in the hands of the host.

"Stay."

Li Wei persuaded him to stay, feeling that he couldn't stay in Alabasta forever. Leaving a decent junior here would allow him to play a better role in guarding the city.

His strength at level ninety surpasses that group of monsters. If those monsters can't withstand him, he'll be the last line of defense. He has no doubt about level ninety's strength, because to doubt level ninety is to doubt himself.

Therefore, Jiushiji was left outside the palace by Li Wei and temporarily resided somewhere in the capital.

The events in Alabasta finally came to an end, although for the major powers on the outside world of Thousand Spirits Star, this was the prelude to a change of fortune.

Li Wei doesn't care about any of these things right now; if there's a major change, he can naturally handle it.

After saying goodbye at the Ninety-Seventh Anniversary, Li Wei muttered to himself, his tone extremely cold: "Do you want to die?"

From within the seal of consciousness, only a soft, maniacal laugh could be heard.

"The speed is too slow."

This is an allusion to Li Wei's evolution.

"You're crazy."

Li Wei denied it, saying, "Besides, it's too brutal."

"Your path may not be the right one; don't try to devour everything."

"On the day I awakened, I saw the most correct direction, so how could it be wrong?"

"If you did nothing wrong, why would I seal you away?"

Li Wei said forcefully.

Then, no more sounds came to my consciousness.

No, there was one, but it was a very faint, unwilling sigh, accompanied by a hint of madness from clenched teeth.

Having resolved the Alabasta crisis, Li Wei temporarily settled into a peaceful life. Strangely enough, Crocodile, who was supposed to be one of the main characters in the Alabasta storyline in the original work, was completely absent during this great battle. Even when Li Wei impulsively sent the Oddity to look for him the next day, they couldn't find him anywhere in the entire country.

Crocodile seems to have disappeared in Alabasta, but it's unclear when...

Li Wei had a hunch that Crocodile had probably escaped and managed to survive.

After some time, Newsbird's newspapers were flying around. When Li Wei saw the copy handed to him, he couldn't help but click his tongue at the headline, because the big headline was related to him, and the article was about the recent Alabasta battle.

"Those dog reporters are truly everywhere."

After dealing with the group of reincarnators, Li Wei had Aiolos lift the blockade on Alabasta, leaving it to wander around and watch over the area. However, Li Wei had no intention of letting Alabasta, which had taken to the sky, come down.

Under Li Wei's restructuring, Alabasta, originally a drought-stricken desert country, was transformed into an oasis paradise. The people, who had previously feared tyranny, enthusiastically shouted "Long live the Lord of Natural Disasters!" and expressed their eternal support for Li Wei's rule.

This made Weiwei and her family very embarrassed.

Of course, most of the time, Li Wei didn't manage things and left them to Vivi's father. In name, they were still the royal family, and his father, Cobra, was still the king. It was just that this king had Li Wei over him, which made him feel a bit stifled.

In fact, due to the presence of the strange entity, Cobra didn't have much political affairs to attend to.

This is even more embarrassing.

Another interesting thing happened during this time. When Li Wei returned from the battle and sent Luo Meier out, Luo Meier almost stopped breathing when she saw Li Wei's appearance.

"Handsome sir, you saved me from the Demon King today. I have no way to repay your kindness, except..."
