Chapter 1270 Shaking the Uniqueness
In the rather dim mural, the nine-star red beads stood out. They were like eyes staring at Li Fan in a strange way.
At the same time when this thought came into Li Fan's mind, he really felt that the thousands of red beads in the mural seemed to come alive, and a strange aura emerged from them.
Neither righteous nor evil. Ancient and yet real and new. What shocked Li Fan the most was that just through the virtual image left by the mural, his soul clone had a part of itself being absorbed and attached.
Li Fan tried many methods, but none of them could stop it. Only by using the essence of source power could he isolate the influence of the Nine-Star Red Pearl.
"What on earth is this Nine-Star Red Bead?"
"The portrait is like this. If the real red bead is here, I'm afraid even the source essence protection will be useless."
"Um……"
Li Fan made some calculations about what might happen after being absorbed by the red bead.
"It is not enough to cause any substantial harm to living beings, but it will leave a special mark on the soul and even the life essence of each living being absorbed. And this is just the effect of the Nine-Star Red Pearl."
"The ring is there, but the red bead is nowhere to be seen..."
Li Fan squinted his eyes and looked at the extremely strange device.
"Uncertain numbers, infinite possibilities."
"Marked Nine-Star Red Bead."
After all, this device is part of the Xuanhuang Protective Array.
Its profound meaning will certainly not deviate too much from the main purpose of the formation.
Li Fan simply simplified the ring device and regarded it as part of an unknown array unit. He then brought it into the model of the protective array after the final dissociation disc was corrected with the actual array data.
After tens of thousands of iterative data deductions, Li Fan deduced the most likely purpose of the circular nine-star device here.
"Create all kinds of living beings..." A strange light flashed in Li Fan's eyes.
According to his calculations, the function of this Xuanhuang Primordial Protective Array Center is to use the Nine-Star Round Bead to stamp special marks on all newly born creatures in the Xuanhuang Realm. Then, through the Indefinite Number Ring, the marks in the life essence of these creatures are adjusted to a certain extent.
This results in different temperaments, talents, and so on.
"this……"
"What a mysterious formation?!"
Even though he had already seen the Xuanyuan Shiling Great Array, which was an immortal-level array that could re-establish earth, fire, water, and wind and recreate the world, Li Fan still gave a heartfelt sigh of admiration after figuring out the principles behind the array.
After all, this was the first time he had truly seen a powerful magic circle that could manipulate the form of life.
"Even if it was achieved through an indefinite number of rings and nine-star red beads, it is still amazing enough."
"Thinking from another angle, perhaps the original prototype of this formation in the fairy world is even more powerful. It's just that without the support of the fairy spirit, some key nodes of the formation have lost their effectiveness. We have to use this strange object as a substitute."
"But now..."
Li Fan's sight was once again focused on the empty area where the Nine-Star Red Bead was supposed to be.
"The Nine-Star Red Pearl is the key."
"According to my previous findings, the red bead was most likely recalled by the [Return] character formula. But if this happened after the great calamity in the Immortal Realm, the red bead should have returned to the Xuanhuang Realm because it had nowhere to return to. It was during this process that it was forcibly taken away by someone."
"All this trouble shows that the mastermind behind this is not able to use the Gui character technique directly, but is using the opponent's force to counter the opponent like me..."
The Return character formula is different from the True Immortal characters such as Chaos and Hunger. Not only is its power completely different, it cannot be imitated poorly or used to produce a degraded version.
It was as if there was some invisible obstruction in the dark. With Li Fan's current cultivation, he was not qualified to write, or even copy.
"The rules of the immortal world are very strict, as you can see. Even though the immortal world has been destroyed for so many years, the rules still exist."
After Li Fan understood the truth, he became even more curious about Hongzhu's current whereabouts.
"The Nine-Star Red Pearl, if nothing unexpected happens, probably existed along with the birth of the Xuanhuang Realm. All the creatures in the Xuanhuang Realm were forcibly branded by it. In other words, it is very likely that all the unique life characteristics of the creatures in the Xuanhuang Realm are stored and recorded in the Nine-Star Red Pearl..."
This inference may sound incredible at first, but considering the current exploration of the Xuanhuang Primordial Protective Array, it is the most accurate inference.
"This is the true method of the immortals. It is incredible and can be said to be a power that only the gods of creation can possess."
"The information of special creatures is recorded. This means that if the energy and technical means meet the conditions, it is not a problem to recreate any historical figure that has appeared in Xuanhuang history."
“Of course, this method can only create something like a clone. And a person’s ultimate achievement is closely related to his own experience.”
"but……"
Li Fan's mood suddenly became heavy.
After discovering that a life like his was something that could be created, transformed, and reproduced at will in the hands of a True Immortal, even though he was holding the supreme treasure of [Return to True], he couldn't help but feel an inexplicable feeling at this moment.
"I regard all living beings as playthings. The true immortals should regard me in the same way~"
Li Fan smiled self-deprecatingly.
Of course, this was just Li Fan's sigh when his mind was greatly shocked, and it was not his real inner thoughts.
Calm your thoughts and return to the past.
"In the Xuanhuang Realm, there is a creation stone tablet that records every event in the world."
"Once a completely identical individual is created, based on the records on the stone tablet, everything that the individual has experienced can be completely reproduced."
"The original individuals are the same, and their life experiences are the same..."
"The [life] that is ultimately created will be exactly the same."
The final answer of the deduction made Li Fan fall into silence.
The discovery of the Du'e Sect undoubtedly shows that the Xuanhuang Realm has been under strict surveillance since its creation in ancient times.
And now, it's more than just surveillance.
The entire Xuanhuang Realm is more like a huge testing ground.
The content of the experiment is really chilling.
"If the guess is true, then the Immortal Realm is doing this to cultivate a unique cultivator?"
"Once the goal is achieved, we can create countless targets in batches based on this data that is under strict surveillance and recording."
The faces of the cultivators who left their names in the history of Xuanhuang Realm suddenly flashed before Li Fan's eyes.
Xuanyuan Hong, Su Bai, Xu Ke...
As well as He Zhenghao, Xiao Fan, and Zhang Haobo.
All of these [people] can be created again.
Without unique characteristics, can people still be called people?
Even if Li Fan has Huan Zhen and can keep returning to the established anchor point, in Li Fan's heart, these people he comes into contact with all have their own special symbols.
He Zhenghao is He Zhenghao.
King Xuantian is King Xuantian, and Mr. Bai is Mr. Bai.
Even if they are NPCs, they have names and are different each time.
But now…
The world that Li Fan knew suddenly changed.
Behind every NPC, there may be countless copies.
He didn't need to press the "Return" button, these existences could complete the exchange by themselves. Even if they were destroyed ten thousand times, as long as the original data was not lost, they would be created again.
He originally thought that he was the only player in this stand-alone world.
Now it has become an online game played by countless players.
This made Li Fan feel a bit nauseous which was hard to suppress.
The more I thought about it, the more I felt my head spinning.
Everything in the world was transformed into twisted and entangled lines, colorful, mixed with the whispers of unknown evil gods, gradually eroding Li Fan's mind.
Even with the blessing of the Xuanhuang Immortal Heart Mantra, it is impossible to maintain a stable and unchanging Tao heart.
Li Fan's concentration was shaking violently, like roots spreading out in the water, slowly disintegrating.
“Ugh…Ugh…”
His figure became illusory, but Li Fan just bent over and vomited like a helpless mortal.
This sudden change completely stunned Sun Luyao.
He had no idea why this extremely mysterious and powerful senior suddenly became like this.
"vomit……"
Li Fan vomited more and more violently.
What is vomited out is not the physical filth, but one's own essence, energy and spirit.
"senior……"
This scene made Sun Luyao feel fear from the bottom of his heart.
It seemed as if something extremely terrible was about to happen.
"vomit……"
Li Fan's voice gradually became quieter.
“Ahem…”
The transformation gave a soft cough.
Then it turned into a low, slightly crazy laugh.
Along with the hideous laughter, there was Li Fan's mumbling.
"Senior...what are you talking about?"
Sun Luyao felt uneasy and couldn't help but ask.
“Hehehe…”
“Hehehe…”
“Hehehe…”
"So I say, it's good that you died!"
"Everyone is dead, but I am the only one alive. This is the most perfect situation."
Like the whisper of a devil from the depths of the underworld, Li Fan locked onto Sun Luyao with his mind as he murmured.
Even in Sun Luyao's opinion, these words are somewhat meaningless.
But it still made him feel deeply chilled.
I was just about to say something else.
Sun Luyao was shocked to find that the core source of the formation in his body suddenly rioted for no reason.
It seemed as if in the next moment, he would be destroyed in the fratricidal riot.
After the initial panic and confusion, Sun Luyao finally reacted.
He looked at Li Fan in disbelief: "Senior, why?"
Li Fan's gaze was completely different from what he had seen before.
That is true indifference.
In his eyes, it was as if I didn't exist at all.
Inside the Infinite Mirror, the body that had just completed being shattered and reassembled was now disintegrating piece by piece.
But as the infinite mirror spirit, Sun Luyao could do nothing about it.
Realizing that he was about to die, Sun Luyao, who experienced death again after many years, was completely at a loss.
He tried every possible way to save his life.
"Senior, please spare me! I am your most loyal slave. I will do whatever you want me to do!"
"Senior, I was wrong! I shouldn't have had any other thoughts. I deserve to die!"
"Senior, please spare me! I am still useful! The remains of the Xuanhuang Protective Array have not been fully explored yet, so I am still useful!"
Sun Luyao conveyed his last thoughts faster and faster, and finally he burst into tears and wailed.
"Senior, please let me live a little longer! Let me..."
puff.
Just like a cockroach that was easily stepped on to death, Sun Luyao's life came to an abrupt end.
The ancient mirror surface that originally shone with a spiritual luster suddenly became dim.
Falling powerlessly.
"You're still making such a fuss even when you're about to die, so why don't you just never show up again..."
Li Fan's eyes were dark, and after moving slightly, he muttered like a madman.
With just one simple sentence, Sun Luyao was sentenced to death.
Not in this life.
But from now on, for all eternity.
As long as he is there, Sun Luyao will never appear in the main thread of the story again.
There is no Sun Luyao.
There are also Sun Lufei and Sun Luchang.
It's just a change of code name. For Li Fan, there is no difference at all.
Sun Luyao, who died with his eyes open and appeared for the last time, probably never thought that he was fine before. He was helping the senior to complete the exploration and analysis of the ancient original Xuanhuang protective formation.
And the next moment, his existence would be wiped out forever.
The fundamental reason for all this was because he saw Li Fan's ugly appearance due to a temporary mental breakdown.
Perhaps, it is not appropriate to describe it as a psychological breakdown.
Ever since I obtained Huan Zhen and personally experienced the supreme power that comes with restarting everything.
There is almost nothing that can really cause spiritual harm to Li Fan.
This is true even for the so-called true immortals or even nameless true immortals.
That’s right, the power of a true immortal can indeed pose a threat to his life.
But that was only by influencing him, preventing it from happening.
Rather than affecting Huan Zhen itself.
Originally, Li Fan believed that as long as the supreme authority of Huanzhen that could be restarted with one click was not shaken, his mental defenses would always be as solid as a rock and would not be truly affected.
Nothing can compare to the phrase "It's true, though."
But today, Li Fan encountered something that could really hurt him.
Because his uniqueness was challenged.
Although this uniqueness did not exist for him originally, it was given by Huanzhen.
But it still made him unbearable.
After a brief struggle and holding on for a while, he finally broke through.
But Li Fan is worthy of being the Grand Master Li who has experienced many reincarnations and countless calamities.
It didn't take long for the collapse to complete self-regulation.
That’s right, those true immortals can indeed do to mortals what Li Fan did to mortals.
But they are all dead.
Dead!
After all, he is the only player left in this world.
After realizing this, Li Fan slowly returned to normal.
As for the unlucky Sun Luyao...
And the original Xuanhuang Protective Array, which had only been partially explored...
Come back in the next life.
To Li Fan, it didn't matter at all.
