My Bottle Cosmos

Chapter 940 881: Renaissance Man Protagonist: Am I Actually Li Qing? (3)

Exaggerated to the extreme.

The entire cosmos.

Is filled with his eyeballs; outside, they are Crystal Wall eyeballs, and inside, they are Crystal Core eyeballs.

"This cosmos is too eerie and bizarre, not something a normal person should see. An ordinary glance at it, and eyeballs are everywhere; one might go insane."

"The real cosmos is a nightmare horror setting. You've woven a beautiful dream for them; no one awakens, no one discovers the truth."

Luo Qing sighed, saying, "The Dream Garment, that's you too, right?"

"Yes, it's me."

Li Qing poured tea for him, then poured a cup for himself.

"What exactly are you planning to do?" Luo Qing's eyes flamed with anger.

"Open your heart, let go of all soul defenses, submit to me. Let me imprint you, how about that?"

Li Qing stood up, gazing into the vast multi-dimensional universe,

"Become my subordinate; the ruler of the next era will be you. Your strongest doppelgänger will also help you eliminate competitors, allowing you to ascend to the top of this universe."

"I see."

Luo Qing showed a look of enlightenment, "You want to become the master of the new era, to control the great trend. You need a real Renaissance Man to help you explore the future."

He wasn't wrong.

Because with a Renaissance Man, as the person continuously breaks through, Li Qing can obtain their insights, securing the final level 0 blueprint.

"That's impossible. Luo Qing will never be a slave. We would rather die than bow our heads, neither me nor us."

"We will not be leashed like dogs by anyone."

Luo Qing's voice was incredibly calm, as if discussing an insignificant matter, yet extremely firm, "Now, my answer is no. Next, you probably intend to kill me and refine a Life Struggle Pill, right?"

"But that's a last resort, because this Life Struggle Pill is ultimately not as good as a real natural-born Renaissance Man. Stealing aptitude will only make you a fake Renaissance Man, weaker by a tier."

"And with matters of the High-tier Dao, sometimes being weaker by a tier means you might never open that door for eternity."

Li Qing looked at him, utterly calm.

With smart people, there's no need for excessive explanations.

It's just a pity.

Indeed, Li Qing wanted to attempt to turn a "protagonist" of a parallel universe by internal strife and support through dukes; it was the most stable method.

But unfortunately, the other party would never be willing.

Speaking of subordinates, they basically never appear postnatally.

Only those marked with the imprint of subordinates at birth, before they have a will, grow up. But any capable genius of an era, who would want to be a dog?

Historically, postnatal subordinates are rare!

This one is no exception.

Faced with a Saint, if the other party doesn't voluntarily surrender, submit and become a subordinate, the most Li Qing could do is kill them.

"Eat something."

Li Qing suddenly spoke.

"Mm." He nodded lightly, realizing it was his last supper.

Afterward, Li Qing said nothing more; for such smart people, any schemes and traps were meaningless.

He couldn't possibly extract "their" origins and substance from him.

No matter how much they wrestle among themselves, it would still be against themselves. Ultimately, they unite against external foes.

The days passed just like that.

A week later, having eaten and drunk to satiety, without a word, Li Qing extended his hand towards the other and seized him.

"Is it time to refine the Life Struggle Pill?" Luo Qing asked.

"No, before that, you still have some significant use." Li Qing extended a hand, imprisoning the other within himself.

And suddenly, his appearance and demeanor changed drastically as Li Qing transformed into another Luo Qing.

Because the real Luo Qing was inside him, through his soul essence and source, he perfectly mimicked becoming another Luo Qing.

"Imitating me, what are you going to do?" Luo Qing inside had a vague feeling of unease.

"Utilize the residual heat." Li Qing replied calmly, then removed the restrictions on this universe, restoring it to a norm, and suddenly shouted in that universe:

"I originally wasn't called Luo Qing. My Luo Qing was actually called Li Qing; I've recovered my past memories!!"

Luo Qing inside: "???"

He suddenly realized.

Wait!

That guy, upon meeting, didn't set up any traps, just drank tea and ate together.

Seemingly respecting him, giving him the last dignity.

But in reality, he had been scheming from the start!

Drinking tea with him to learn his way of speaking, conduct, and habits to imitate him.

"You bastard!!!"

An angry roar came, and even facing death, his mood was completely enraged, "Don't believe him! The other me, don't believe him!!"

"Don't be fooled!"

"Don't be fooled!"

He was trapped inside another Luo Qing, clinging to the bars, yelling in anguish and anger.

...

On the other end.

The real Yuan Primordial Saint Luo Qing was fleeing across various universes, being wildly hunted.

Suddenly, he also heard the voice from that universe:

"I originally wasn't called Luo Qing. I really am called Li Qing; I've recovered my past memories!!"

That familiar voice was indeed coming from himself.

"What's happening?" Luo Qing felt utterly bewildered.

How could the version of himself from another parallel universe say such things?

Saying he is Li Qing?

Yet the Luo Qing of that universe continued:

"A bifurcation emerged in the cosmos. In our universe, the major bifurcations are called Luo Qing, but the other branched universe, that universe, we experienced upheavals at birth, injuring our heads and losing prior memories, creating a different life trajectory, another life called Li Qing, so they have split off many Li Qing."

"Simultaneously, the other branch of us had damaged minds and injured souls, making Li Qing's Renaissance Man aptitude appear significantly weaker than ours."

"But he is also us!"

Upon hearing this, Luo Qing slightly frowned.

This me... is possessed?

What nonsense is he spouting?

His perception traversed multitude universes, landing on him.

That person did indeed have his soul origin, it couldn't be faked.

He then tried to traverse that universe, but felt an immense unseen terror and repulsion.

That universe had a Saint Lock!

He was locked out.

It also meant that spoken me was truly another universe's self.

He slightly frowned, pondering secretly, suddenly questioning, "Could it be, we really are the same person? After all, it makes sense, how could there be two successive Renaissance Men in one era? If it's all me, then perhaps it's understandable?"

The more he thought, the more perplexed he became, but an explosive thought emerged:

"Oh no, was I never Li Qing's substitute? In truth, was I Li Qing himself?"
