My Bottle Cosmos

Chapter 941 882: Minis? Nothing Special

"I really am Li Qing?"

Luo Qing's heart trembled, and he hadn't had time to say anything more.

He saw Nokron passing by suddenly descend, reaching out toward that Luo Qing from the parallel universe, the burly man, grabbing at him. "Who would've thought there was another parallel you, actually passing on information?"

"In that case, I'll gladly accept it!"

Having said that, he was about to seize that Luo Qing from the parallel universe.

The intention was obvious: capture this one, and he might be able to Refine a Life Struggle Pill and take his place.

"You won't be able to catch me anymore."

The next second, that Luo Qing who had passed on the message directly self-destructed—body dead, Dao extinguished.

This scene left Nokron, who had made the move, slightly surprised.

"He actually committed suicide? Each parallel-universe you does have some backbone. Countless universes' worth of you, working together for your ascent to the summit."

The other Yuan Primordial Saints who were rushing over to encircle and kill also showed a few traces of regret.

They'd also planned to snatch him from Nokron's hands. After all, if they could get their hands on a Renaissance Man, they'd have a shot at the peak of the Cosmos. Unfortunately, the other party actually killed himself.

"I killed myself? Exposed just to pass a message? Could it be that he'd already been more or less exposed before, so he chose this way of sending a message and dying?"

Luo Qing frowned slightly at this. Before he had time to sort out the logic, he continued to be chased down by one Yuan Primordial Saint after another.

"Cease your flight!"

"As expected, in each and every universe, you have accomplices! Lurking in the dark!"

The pursuit immediately descended. Luo Qing could only keep running, slipping through one Parallel Universe after another to hide.

...

...

"Not bad. The script's started."

At the tea stall, Elis poured tea. The Light Ancient God smiled faintly.

While those Yuan Primordial Saints were besieging and killing, the Light Ancient God and Elis were still cultivating in secret, walking the path of the pseudo-Renaissance Man, and had not gone out to fight for hegemony.

Li Qing could also slack off under this identity.

And now, that "Luo Qing" had killed himself, of course because Li Qing had taken the initiative to kill him.

After all, once the script's lines are delivered, naturally you kill to silence, destroy the body, and Eliminate Traces.

He took out a Life Struggle Pill from his hand. It was the Treasure Pill that the dead Luo Qing had just Refined.

"Before he Refined it, using his identity on the verge of death as leverage was also a perfect utilization."

"Although I set up two ironclad proofs to prove that it was 'myself' speaking, that Luo Qing wouldn't necessarily believe it. For existences of this level, even if the evidence is ironclad, they'll still feel some hesitation and wariness."

"But in the end, you have to plant a seed first."

His heart was incomparably calm.

When he saw that universe's protagonist, the Renaissance Man Luo Qing, Li Qing had already deduced two plans based on the other's possible temperament.

1. That parallel-universe Renaissance Man Luo Qing, when facing death, will submit; for the sake of reaching the summit, he'll be willing to kill another self!

If that's the case, it proves he's the type of protagonist who'll stop at nothing.

"He himself" will have internal strife.

Then Li Qing would support a "Vassal King," let them beat on their own, and with the hidden foundations here secretly helping him, it would basically be a guaranteed win!

2. That parallel-universe Renaissance Man Luo Qing is upright and unyielding, a man of righteous words.

He will not submit to me.

This means that every self across the Parallel Universes has blood in his veins, doesn't fear death, and refuses to be anyone's dog.

Faced with the Cosmos' backstage manipulator, he'll be utterly enraged, willing to sacrifice himself; even countless Parallel Universe "me"s will join forces, help one person ascend to the top, and kill the hidden mastermind.

This type is the hardest to deal with!

The ones Li Qing hates most are exactly these straight-laced, hard-headed types.

Unfortunately, the other party happened to be this kind of person.

That Luo Qing would rather sacrifice himself, while remaining united against the outside.

"And for this most troublesome righteous protagonist, I already have a countermeasure."

"It's exactly this cuckoo-in-another's-nest approach in front of me."

Li Qing's heart was utterly tranquil. "Since they're united as one, and countless Parallel Universe 'me's will spare no effort to help one among them ascend to the epoch's summit..."

"Then in that case, I'll become their Parallel Universe 'one of our own.'"

"I, Li Qing, am also one of their counterparts!"

So he pulled off this whole wave of forging a backstory and slipping in.

As for them not believing right now, that doesn't matter.

What lies before him is only the planting of a seed. With layout after layout, the other side will believe sooner or later.

When that time comes, I, Li Qing, will also be you from another Cosmos. Won't you help me climb to the top?

Don't forget, their temperament is that countless Parallel Universe "me"s will join forces to help one person ascend. That strongest Yuan Primordial Saint Luo Qing is also among those "me"s.

When that Yuan Primordial Saint Luo Qing realizes he has no hope of reaching the summit himself, won't he help another self reach the summit?

Won't he help me... Li Qing... ascend?

"He'll sacrifice everything for me, regardless of his life, just to see me at the summit."

"Because I am... his self from a Parallel Universe!"

"I am his identical-twin parallel-universe blood brother!"

"There may be only one way for me to kill the protagonist of the grand trend." Li Qing murmured inwardly. "And that is to make him voluntarily give up the grand trend, give up the destiny he bears, and hand it over of his own accord."

Just like the Life Ancient God—he can't be killed. Only if he voluntarily gives up life, because that means he voluntarily abandons the seat of life and seeks death, can he truly die.

Thus, the future destiny was already arranged by Li Qing long ago.

If the other party has internal strife, then he'll control one of the Vassal Kings to drive the internal conflict.

If the other party is united, then he'll become one of their selves and let their unity drive them to fight desperately to push him to the top.

"He, Luo Qing, the epoch's protagonist, his original name is actually Li Qing! He's just lost his memory..."

Li Qing let out a long sigh and once again took out that Life Struggle Pill.

This was a Life Struggle Pill truly Refined by a Renaissance Man. Whoever takes it will become a pseudo-Renaissance Man.

It's not like the Life Struggle Pill Refined by the pseudo-Renaissance Man Minis. Minis' version only turns you into a pseudo-Renaissance Man's pseudo-Renaissance Man.

A second-tier fake of a fake.

Currently, Atabia, the Emperor, Herodotus, and even his past self were all using this level of aptitude. It already made other Yuan Primordial Saints envious to the point of madness, something they longed for but couldn't obtain.

"Once I eat it, I'll resemble that other Luo Qing even more."

Li Qing tossed it back with a flick of his hand, remembering that Luo Qing who had sat down to drink tea with him. "I do feel rather sorry, but your bloodline, your aptitude, your every word and deed will become my greatest nourishment for exterminating all of you."

Golden Core entering his stomach, Li Qing clearly felt his aptitude being raised.

His sensory data for all aspects of the Cosmos became even clearer, nearly omnipotent, with no weaknesses in any Domain.

In this moment, because of the rise in aptitude, he felt his comprehension of various High-tier Dao further advance and grow stronger.

This power even made him give birth to an illusion.

That even without relying on any external force, he alone could fuse the final two blueprints, step into the level-0 blueprint, and become the Creator God of an ultimate Cosmos.

He quickly stirred his thoughts and calmed this notion:

"Can't get swollen-headed! It's just an illusion. I may look like a Renaissance Man already, but I'm still a hair's breadth short of the official version. And that tiny line, when it comes to the final step, could be a world of difference."

"I still have to rely on the other side to push the era forward—that's the safest route."

Even so, feeling the power in his body and soul, he was somewhat high-spirited. Comparing this to the feeling of eating a Minis-brand Life Struggle Pill before, he instantly felt how clear the gap was.

He couldn't help but shake his head, down a cup of tea in one gulp, full of boldness, and shake his head as he said, "Minis? The blossom he produced with all his painstaking effort is just so-so."
