Ji Gulan left. She had completed her mission and returned to her original body.

Li Mu was still digesting what Ji Gulan had just said. At this moment, Li Mu felt as if he had been enlightened and his spirits were lifted.

Although what Ji Gulan said seemed to be just specious arguments and nonsense on the surface, it even had a kind of meaning to comfort Li Mu himself.

But if you think about it carefully, all of this can be explained. Precisely because Tianyi was a person who lived 130 trillion years ago, he has a preconceived notion that Tianyi's life experience was before his. Although Tianyi also said so, if everything is turned around, is it himself who is living in the long river of time and space, or is it other people who use their own lives as a template to arrange Tianyi's life?

Although he couldn't do this at his current level of the 9th level of the Hongmeng Ancestor, what if he was at the level of the Creation Supreme or even higher? The Heavenly World was huge, so huge that even Li Mu couldn't understand it at his current level. Similarly, the upper limit of cultivators must be something that Li Mu couldn't understand. Just because the Hongmeng Ancestor couldn't do it didn't mean that cultivators at a higher level couldn't do it. Li Mu even speculated that when the cultivation reached a certain level, even the entire Heavenly World couldn't restrain it.

The transcendent existence of Yin Ruolan alone is enough to prove that his life is not arranged and advanced under the control of Tianyi, because he has seen Tianyi's Taoist partner in the long river of time and space, and that person is completely different from Yin Ruolan.

Li Mu could understand that there were differences between Tianyi's parents and Li Mu's parents, but the transcendent existence of Yin Ruolan did not exist in Tianyi's life. That was the biggest loophole. It was very clear who was the template and who was the replica!

This change in cognition brought Li Mu's soul back to life. In this endless darkness, he once again saw the light above, and the strong desire to survive surged into his heart again. He was no longer willing to sink into the darkness. He wanted to struggle, to resist, and to find his own way out.

He no longer sees himself as a constrained replica, but as a being with infinite possibilities.

His soul glowed brightly again. The originally languid soul began to gather strength, stopped falling, and rushed towards the light above. This process was like a fully drawn arrow, full of strength and determination, vowing to break through the darkness and compete with Tianyi for control of this body.

His soul was like a bright star, cutting through the endless darkness and getting closer and closer to the bright exit.

He was about to completely break free from the dark abyss, but at this moment, a horrifying energy came from the exit and suppressed Li Mu's soul, and Situ threw him back into the endless abyss.

This energy was powerful and cold, with unquestionable majesty. It was obviously a resistance from Tianyi. He was trying his best to prevent Li Mu's soul from breaking out of the darkness.

However, Li Mu's mind and will had become clear by now, and his fighting spirit had been rekindled. How could he allow Tianyi to slaughter him?

After being repelled only briefly by this sudden energy, his spirit and soul once again gathered strength to confront this energy head-on.

For a while, the two forces were evenly matched and neither could make the other give in.

Li Mu knew that it would be extremely disadvantageous for him to continue in this stalemate. The Tree of Law in his sea of ​​consciousness would lose the blessing of his soul and would sooner or later be merged and swallowed by Tianyi's Tree of Law.

Thinking of this, Li Mu made up his mind and ignited his soul directly.

His soul suddenly burst out with dazzling light, as if illuminating the entire darkness.

At the same time, it also illuminated the pale face of the soul. Obviously, Li Mu's soul was seriously injured at this moment. Burning the soul can certainly stimulate the soul's greatest potential, but at the same time it is also burning one's own origin, which will bring irreversible damage to Li Mu.

But the situation is urgent now, and Li Mu can't worry about so many things.

The burning soul was like an unyielding phoenix, reborn from the fire in the darkness. With its powerful posture, it directly defeated the energy that was resisting him.

Seeing that it was impossible to bury Li Mu's soul in the darkness, Tianyi's soul roared unwillingly: "Li Mu, you lunatic! Why? Why can't you just stay in the darkness?"

At the same time, Li Mu's soul completely broke free from the dark abyss. He had no time to pay attention to Tian Yi and quickly extinguished his burning soul.

At this time, his face was extremely pale, and his soul was on the verge of complete collapse. As the raging fire in his soul died down, his complexion recovered a little, and his soul became a little more stable.

During this period, Tianyi did not interfere with Li Mu's soul.

It was not because he was soft-hearted, nor was it because he had a sense of martial virtue and disdained to take advantage of others in distress, but because "two bodies in one" required devouring everything of the opponent, including the soul. If Li Mu's soul collapsed, all his efforts would be in vain.

Now that Li Mu's will has been restored, it is impossible to directly devour Li Mu's soul.

All he had to do now was to merge Li Mu's Tree of Law as soon as possible and completely control his sea of ​​consciousness. Then, Li Mu's soul would be at his mercy.

Tianyi's soul no longer paid attention to Li Mu and shifted all its attention to the Tree of Law that was devouring Li Mu.

At this time, the fusion of the two Trees of Laws had reached a white-hot state. Because Li Mu's soul had fallen into darkness before, his Tree of Law had lost its backbone. It was obvious that it was at a disadvantage in the fusion with the opponent's Tree of Law. The laws that could be controlled by him were less than half of the original.

Although Li Mu didn't have much idea about the merging of two bodies, he knew that it would be disadvantageous for him to continue along this trend.

So he simply restored the vitality of his soul, and then quickly joined the battle of the fusion of the Tree of Laws.

With the return of Li Mu's soul, his Tree of Law finally had some power to resist, and the fusion struggle between the two Trees of Law became more intense.

However, although the addition of Li Mu's soul slowed down the speed of the fusion of his Tree of Law, it was still only in a defensive state, and the branches of the Law on the Tree of Law were still being eroded and devoured by the opponent bit by bit.

In theory, although his Tree of Law lost in the previous fusion, the branches on the Tree of Law represent different laws, and the swallowing of other laws will not affect another branch of law.

In other words, even if his branch of law was devoured by the other party until only one was left, for the other party, the difficulty of fusing it would be no less than when the two trees of law first began to merge.
