Chapter 1660: The Birth of Shanhai
“I didn’t expect that the one who awakened this time didn’t even reach the Transcendent Realm…”
"It is truly the realm of my birth and death!"
The one who spoke was not the Five Lords of the Same Tribulation and Ming Daoxian, but one of the remaining two figures, with white hair and beard, but he looked like a young man.
Looking at Xingfu who was surrounded by everyone, he looked quite excited.
"My dear seniors, what exactly is…"
Xingfu first bowed in the direction of Ming Daoxian, and then bowed in turn. At the same time, he asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Could it be that what I experienced before was not real, but an illusion?"
"Is this a test for us?"
The one who answered Xingfu this time was one of the five masters who had suffered the same calamity. His figure floated, like a red cloud stretching for billions of miles. The light and fire were brilliant, burning fiercely.
Watch his shadow and understand his path. Then Xingfu knew his identity: [Jinxiao].
When Jinxiao's words fell into Xingfu's ears, his body suddenly felt slightly hot, as if there was a real fire burning around him.
"Of course it's not an illusion. The fairyland you were in before was indeed a fantasy and it really exists. Of course, you can return at any time now."
Following Jinxiao's words, a long river-like shadow quietly emerged below the crowd. What was revealed was the original fairyland including the Tiancang star region. Xingfu even vaguely saw the Guangwu group of immortals in it.
"However, the fantasy-created magical power is not perfect. The possibility of being reproduced still has fatal flaws. It seems as solid as a rock, and it is no different from the real possibility. In fact..."
Another long river shadow appeared side by side.
As real as the original fairyland.
But a moment later...
The "reality" covering it, for unknown reasons, faded away in an instant. Just like a painting splashed with water, the paint faded and the painting was gone. In the shadow of the long river, a terrible disaster came.
That was an end of the world that was almost comparable to the catastrophe of Dao Yan.
In fact, the speed at which this catastrophe destroys possibilities is even faster than the annihilation of the Dao.
Daoyan will continue to erode gradually, but at this moment the shadow of the long river's river is experiencing its own foundation disappearance, and its existence collapses in an instant.
This possibility, along with countless lives, was buried in the blink of an eye.
Witnessing the tragedy, his expression seemed to have aroused memories of the destruction of the original fairyland in the past, and his expression became a little stiff.
"This apocalyptic scene is not fabricated. It is a real scene that happened in the world of life and death not long ago."
The words of another one of the Five Lords who suffered the same calamity made Xingfu even more shocked.
As he heard the words, Xingfu seemed to hear the sound of countless weapons clanging together and then breaking.
So he was excited and learned the other party's identity: [Feng Zang].
"Now that you have awakened, you must know the reason why this fantasy method has a flaw."
Xingfu nodded and replied: "It's because of the characteristics of Daoyan."
Feng Zang continued, “Possibilities are born in the mountains and seas, like pictures carved on the beach.”
"The waves of Daoyan washed away the pictures. The traces that remained were the basis of our memories. And those that were completely blank..."
"It is the missing foundation of our fantasy that we can no longer recall and has truly been erased from the mountains and seas."
"Possibilities arise from the might of mountains and seas. Its true essence is beyond our comprehension. We can only imitate it, and do it exactly."
"If you miss a few strokes, you're just drawing a picture of a tiger and it's like drawing a dog. It's a far cry from the real possibility and it could collapse at any time."
Zang Feng waved his hand, and several long river shadows appeared one after another. They were almost the same as real possibilities. But after existing for different periods of time, they still couldn't last too long. They all returned to nothingness.
Xingfu couldn't help but feel anxious when he heard this: "Aren't the Guangwu immortals who followed me in danger?"
This time it was another one of the Five Lords who smiled.
He consoled them, "You don't have to worry about that. Although you can see the collapse of the fantasy construction in an instant, the realm of life and death is within our perception. Before the disaster occurs, we will be able to sense it and rescue them one step ahead."
Xingfu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard that.
But the pressure in his heart never dissipated. It was not because of the truth of the world of life and death, but because of the words just now.
The lingering sound still lingers in my ears, and Xingfu feels like facing the abyss.
The abyss is unfathomable, formless and intangible.
And everyone who sees it cannot control themselves and falls into it.
"Yuan Zang." Xingfu then knew the identity of this venerable.
Fortunately, Yuanzang did not make things difficult for Xingfu and retracted his own pervasive power.
The invisible pressure in Xingfu's heart slowly dissipated.
"Seniors, since the method of fantasy has such a flaw, is there a solution?"
He did not question why the immortals were put into a fantasy possibility and did useless work. Instead, he directly asked for a solution.
The white-haired young man laughed upon hearing this and said, "As expected of someone who awakened before reaching transcendence, what he thinks and what he wants are beyond the reach of ordinary people. Maintaining the fantasy construction is very consuming. If we could not see the hope of a solution, why would we be so persistent?"
"For someone like you who can pass the test, that's the solution!" the white-haired young man said in a deep voice.
"Me?" Xingfu recalled what he had felt in the Fantasy Origin Primary School and vaguely understood something.
"The Dao is wiped out, completely and thoroughly. We cannot trace the Dao, but we can sense the difference between the imaginary possibility and the real possibility. That sense of discord in our hearts!"
"Through continuous construction and repeated fine-tuning, until..."
Xingfu understood immediately and blurted out, "The disharmony has disappeared. This means that the possibilities constructed by fantasy are exactly the same as the possibilities that actually existed at that time."
“Although we cannot see the white, we can infer it from the parts that can be determined. So that’s how it is!”
The white-haired young man smiled and didn't continue.
Obviously, Xingfu's guess was very close to the truth.
"Your premonition alone is still lacking. We need to work together to discuss anchoring." Ming Daoxian finally spoke at this moment.
Xingfu still had great respect for this famous senior. He restrained his expression and listened to the lesson.
"Even though I had the Supreme Dao Book in my hand at the beginning, I still could not fully understand the principles of the fairy world. Everyone's cognition has its limitations. Therefore, more different perspectives are needed." Ming Daoxian was very frugal with words. He only said these two sentences and then stopped talking.
"The fantasy construction does not have to be completely consistent with what has existed in memory. What is certain now is that the closer it is, the more reliable the fantasy construction will be. The probability of instantaneous collapse will also be lower." Yuan Zang continued to add.
"By supplementing these [missing parts] erased by Dao Yan, we can copy and restore the cornerstone of the possibility of mountains and seas. This is not only the underlying source of power of mountains and seas, but also the focus of Dao Yan's plunder after the integration of mountains and seas."
"The possibility of fantasizing about recreating the past is just going with the flow. Using it to peek into Dao Yan, or more accurately, the mystery of God, is what we really want." Yuan Zang said shockingly.
"God?" Xingfu was shocked, then a little confused.
"May I ask, my lords, what is this so-called [God]?" He asked cautiously.
The several venerables of the calamity of birth and death seemed to attach great importance to the restoration.
Ming Daoxian wrote several pictures with just a few strokes.
"Someone once walked to the end of the mountains and seas and glimpsed the scene when the mountains and seas were born. Their shapes are unpredictable, their scenery is indescribable, their momentum is hard to feel, and their shapes are hard to distinguish."
“Non-verbals can describe and explain, non-textual images can record.”
"That person was unable to recount what happened between the mountains and the sea, but he made one thing clear: the mountains and the sea all came from God."
"The man walked to the end of the mountains and seas again, and saw the future where the mountains and seas disappeared and returned to the stars."
"The boundless and infinite nature of the mountain and sea was stolen from the [God]. Although it has been in operation for countless years, it is ultimately not the power of the mountain and sea itself. It came from the God and will return to the God. This is the ending that the mountain and sea should have."
The beginning of mountains and seas, the end of mountains and seas.
Two pictures appeared in front of Xingfu.
The amount of information it brought was so huge that Xingfu was stunned for a moment, seeming to find it difficult to accept.
"God, star. The beginning of creation, the end of mountains and seas."
He muttered to himself, and suddenly seemed to understand something, his face turned pale: "If the mountains and seas are like this, then we the creatures in the mountains and seas should not be..."
"This is the [Irrelevant Ending]. All our attempts to save ourselves are like a joke in front of God's unpredictable power. It is ultimately in vain."
"Really?" the white-haired young man suddenly asked back.
"Huh?" Xingfu was stunned by the question.
"Of course... not." Then he said without thinking.
Upon hearing this, the white-haired young man burst into hearty laughter.
The other venerables present also had smiles on their faces.
Ming Daoxian nodded slightly and said, "Good."
Xingfu was a little overwhelmed by the reactions of the venerables.
The white-haired young man just continued, "The end of Shanhai seems to have been predetermined. However, Xing is not a god after all. Shanhai will not just sit there and wait for death after countless years."
"Everything is still undecided. In the end, will it be the mountains and seas, or the stars, or..."
"It is the creatures between us mountains and seas that have won. It is all unknown!" said the white-haired young man with great confidence.
"Although we were born in the mountains and seas, we also have the ability to realize the truth. Every bit of power we get from the mountains and seas makes the mountains and seas and the stars weaker. The saints on the other side try to use sparks to connect the broken mountains and seas, and cover the whole mountains and seas with their figures. While saving the mountains and seas, we also become one with them."
"The Holy Emperor Taiwei, with his own great power, reflects infinite possibilities. He is like a parasitic seed, corroding the mountains and seas. Even if he cannot compete with the mountains and seas in the end, he may be able to forcibly peel off from the mountains and seas and become his own."
…
A group of venerables from the Tribulation of Life and Death told Xingfu the routes of the two major forces in the mountains and seas.
Xingfu had not even reached the state of transcendence yet, and when he suddenly heard so many secrets, he couldn't help but feel dizzy.
"The power of the saints is truly unimaginable, and their plans are not something we can shake. But the weak also have their own way of survival. The method of fantasy is to observe the secret of the Dao. This is the confidence we have in defeating the strong with the weak!"
Among the five beings who suffered the same calamity, [Shengshi], who had been silent before, spoke slowly.
As soon as Shengshi opened his mouth, Xingfu felt as if his vitality was being sucked out, and his whole body began to turn cold. He couldn't help but shiver.
When he exhaled, frost appeared.
However, it is obvious that Shengshi is gathering his own strength and does not pose any real threat to Xingfu.
"Those [blanks] erased by Dao Yan are the cornerstones of the mountains and seas. In our opinion, they are the focus of the fight between the mountains, seas and stars."
"The gods transform mountains and seas, and mountains and seas transform into stars. Some things change, and some things remain constant."
"In the flow of mountains and seas, what remains unchanged is the true power!"
"If I could spy..."
"Even an ant can transform overnight and become equal to the mountains and seas!"
"The mountains and the sea are of the same character." Xingfu murmured these four words again.
Before Xingfu could think carefully, he heard Ming Daoxian ask, "Do you know Shouqiu Gong?"
Xingfu nodded: "The reputation of Lord Shouqiu's great virtue is known to everyone in the immortal world."
"Then do you know that Lord Shouqiu is one of the saints on the other side?"
"Is it so?" Xingfu was so shocked that he was speechless.
"When Lord Shouqiu was on duty in the fairyland, I also met him. Judging from his fate and fortune, being unknown was already the limit. However, after not seeing him for many years, he unexpectedly has the demeanor of a transcendent saint. Do you know why?" Ming Daoxian asked calmly.
“…”
Xingfu naturally had no idea of Shouqiu Gong's background.
But recalling what the venerables of the Realm of Birth and Death had said before, he was inspired and could not help but boldly guess: "Could it be that Lord Shouqiu has found the unchanging mighty power of mountains and seas?"
Ming Daoxian nodded.
"He upholds the great way of mountains and seas, and is striving for immortality!"
"Longevity."
These two words seemed to have infinite magic power, and Xingfu kept repeating them in a low voice.
"I wonder how this mountain and sea road is different from the ordinary roads we know?"
Ming Daoxian waved his hand, and a long scroll suddenly unfolded in front of Xingfu.
There should have been countless characters on it, but now all those characters seemed to have disappeared, leaving only a blank space.
"The ordinary avenues, born in the mountains and seas, are nothing more than the evolution of the mountains and seas themselves."
"And the Mountain and Sea Avenue..."
"Just like Shouqiu Changsheng, perhaps the mountain and sea inherited from the [God]. But it did not completely absorb and transform the part."
"Almost all the roads between the mountains and the sea can be regarded as extensions of the power of God. However, what we can access are only those parts that have been assimilated by the mountains and the sea."
"Only a few retain the nature of God."
Ming Daoxian tried to write something on the blank scroll.
However, after picking up the pen several times, I stopped halfway.
In the end, he couldn't write a single word. He sighed and put away the blank scroll.
"Use the method of imagination to glimpse the secrets of mountains and seas."
"This secret refers to the Mountain and Sea Avenue!"
“Those mysterious powers that have gone through the trials of the mountains and seas will eventually return to the [God]!”
