Chapter 1698: The Three Saints Died Together
The white circle on the other side shone brightly, covering the endless loop.
The Mountain and Sea Boundless Monument is extremely mysterious, standing still and difficult to touch, let alone move.
However, it is possible to expand the coverage of the other side and bring it under the protection of the Xuan Ji Ring.
"Everything has its good and bad parts. Next, I will tell you some bad news."
"When we traveled through the virtual world of 90,000 years and were about to arrive at the previous section of mountains and seas, we found that the waves of Dao Yan were surging and chaotic, making it difficult to tell the direction. Judging from past experience, this is a sign that the mountains and seas are in danger and are about to collapse." A few words from the virtual shadow of Lianshan interrupted the gazes of the saints.
Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
"If the mountains and seas ahead collapse, causing the virtual world to expand beyond the limit of 100,000 years, our plan to reunite the mountains and seas will fail."
"The most urgent task is to go ahead and help stabilize the situation. Then we can talk about the Avengers."
As he spoke, the shadows of the Three Saints of Lianshan looked towards Li Fan.
Li Fan was feeling strange, but the Three Saints had already explained the reason, which shocked everyone.
"Our sense of the front has been cut off. Either the 'Lianshan, Guihai, and Taiyi' in the front section of the mountains and seas have already crossed over and left, without even leaving a shadow. Or..."
"We are all dead."
We will all perish. These four words sounded like thunder, resounding throughout the Xuan Ji Ring.
All the saints had expressions of disbelief on their faces. They stared at the Three Saints of Lianshan, wanting to open their mouths, as if they had endless doubts.
But in the end, it all turned into a sentence: "How is it possible?"
“Life and death are common things. Even the God of Creation died and turned into mountains and seas. Why is it impossible for us to die?” Taiyi chuckled.
"It also indirectly confirms the abnormality of the mountains and seas in the previous section. If we were all here, we would never let the mountains and seas fall into such a crisis of destruction." Gui Hai analyzed calmly.
Faced with the situation of "their own" death, the Three Saints of Lianshan were able to remain calm.
But the other saints in the other side found it difficult to remain calm.
The strength of the Three Saints of Lianshan is obvious to all.
When crossing the virtual world, he leads the way and clears the way. Then he uses his body as a tower to light the way for those who come after him.
If it weren't for the Three Saints, any plan to reunite the mountains and seas would be nothing but empty talk.
But now, they are told that the three saints have died collectively?
What on earth could be capable of killing powerful men like Lianshan, Guihai, and Taiyi?
"This is also related to the [trouble] I told you about earlier."
"Trouble comes from the virtual world."
"Have you ever wondered if our operation to reunite the mountains and seas was going a little too smoothly?"
"As long as there are enough saints, they can use their bodies as ropes to connect the mountains and seas in front and behind. Then it will only take some more trouble to revive the mountains and seas. The virtual world that swallowed everything actually did not react much to this and allowed us to do what we want."
The words of the Lianshan Saint caused the expressions of the other saints to become gradually solemn.
"The virtual world swallowed up the mountains and seas. It is a grand battlefield that stretches from the beginning of the mountains and seas to the end of time."
"Since it is a battlefield, there are distinctions between the important and the unimportant. The gains and losses of a moment or a place are actually insignificant. Today, the mountains and seas reappeared, and Daoyan was forced to retreat. Tomorrow, the virtual world can also come back, and Daoyan will swallow everything again."
"What really matters is..."
"It's in the Holy."
"The virtual world is originally slightly superior to the mountains and seas. With a slight advantage, over the years, it will eventually swallow up the mountains and seas."
"But because of the existence of the Saint, who can rival the mountains and seas, this battle has added many variables. We are the thorn in the eyes and flesh of the virtual world." Saint Lianshan said very calmly, as if he was stating facts that had nothing to do with him.
"But even if the virtual world takes action, it is hard to imagine what means it can use to kill you all together?"
Bai Xiao expressed the doubts in the minds of the other people present.
After all, with the strength of the Three Saints, they can almost be said to be fearless of Dao Yan's invasion.
Could it be that the virtual world has some other special means?
The Lianshan Saint did not keep the secret any longer and said calmly, "The one who can kill us..."
"Only ourselves."
At first, everyone didn't understand what it meant, but when they saw the extremely deep and profound virtual world, they seemed to finally understand something.
A chill slowly rose in my heart.
"Yes, the one who made the move should be the Three Saints who destroyed the mountains and seas."
“After being swallowed by the virtual world and disappearing from the world, it came back again in some way and transformed into a minions of the virtual world.” Gui Hai nodded, confirming everyone’s speculation.
"When the catastrophe suddenly came and the mountains and seas were swallowed by the virtual world, we were not killed. Instead, we perished together with the mountains and seas. Even if our shoulders were as tall as the mountains and seas, if the foundations around us were completely lost and we were surrounded by the virtual world, it would be difficult to distinguish the past from the present. Even if we had thousands of magical powers, the only solution in the end was to be trapped to death."
"But the mountains and seas in front of us are still there, but we are gone..."
“There should only be this one situation.”
After Lian Shan finished speaking, the Xuan Ji Ring fell into complete silence.
The saints looked at each other, and no one knew how to respond.
Lian Shan added: "We have not yet fought against ourselves in that state, but from our experience of fighting against the virtual world, we who are resurrected from the virtual world should be as strong as the original self. Or in other words, it is ourselves. It's just..."
"Choose to stand on the side of the virtual world."
"It's not just us. All the creatures in the engulfed mountains and seas may be resurrected by the virtual world and used against them. Give someone a taste of their own medicine. This is how the virtual world targets the saints of mountains and seas."
"Long ago, we met an old friend with a very different personality. We started to speak harshly to each other after a disagreement. Later, there was a heated argument. At first, we didn't understand what he meant. Until the end, we killed him..."
"It was as if a passage to the virtual world had opened up in the mountains and seas. Endless waves of Dao Annihilation came surging forward. The momentum was almost as strong as when the catastrophe first broke out. Even if we tried to hold on, we were still unable to stabilize our bodies due to the impact. The mountains and seas were destroyed in an instant, and we could only flee in a hurry."
"Looking back on it later, I realized that it was a method of resurrection in the virtual world."
…
After hearing the story told by the Three Saints of Lianshan, Li Fan gradually understood.
If the confrontation between Shanhai and the virtual world was a continuous war, then the virtual world they crossed to reunite Shanhai was just a battlefield where the two armies met.
With the power of the Three Saints, they could kill them all.
But if you are really surrounded by the endless army of the virtual world, the only way out is death.
It was for this reason that the mountains and seas were lost and the saints were annihilated under the concentrated attack of the virtual world.
Li Fan could understand this point.
After all, he had seen with his own eyes how the mountains and seas withered at the end of time, and how the last few saints were powerless and swallowed up by Dao Yan.
But what he never expected was that the virtual world could actually reappear the saint that was swallowed up!
Li Fan felt a little scared when he thought that his opponent had all the strength of the Three Saints and acted recklessly, all for the purpose of destroying the mountains and seas.
"But there is no need to worry too much. The virtual world also needs to use its own power to manifest the resurrected saint. It is not infinite."
"Otherwise, these creations alone would be enough to destroy the mountains and seas."
"So, I guess the goal of these resurrected creatures is to eliminate the saints who pose a threat to the virtual world."
"We haven't encountered it yet, it's just that we have better luck."
"But now that we have discovered the possible traces of the other party, we need to be careful and guard against it."
"The Avengers Shanhai Operation cannot be stopped. As the saying goes, if one side gains, the other loses. If the Avengers Shanhai is completely hopeless... I'm afraid we can only sit and wait for death."
Li Fan finally asked, "The three saints just now all looked at me..."
"Without us guarding the mountains and seas ahead, they are in danger of being destroyed at any time. We need to send people to stabilize the situation. If we cross over and come, we might lure the resurrected saint to come back. With the strengths being equal, it is hard to say who will win or lose. Although I am not afraid of him, I may cause the mountains and seas to be completely destroyed."
"Therefore, it is best to send someone who is not in the memory of the virtual world. In other words, those who have been swallowed up by the mountains and seas of the virtual world and no longer exist."
After Saint Lianshan said this, all the saints looked at Li Fan.
Among all the people present, he seemed to be the only one who met the requirements.
"this……"
Li Fan instinctively hesitated.
What a joke, asking him to save this dangerous place where even the three saints perished?
As if seeing what Li Fan was thinking, the Three Saints said, "【Resurrection in the Virtual Realm】is only for me. You are not on the Virtual Realm's memory list, so even if you cross over and descend, it will not alert the Virtual Realm."
"We just need to stabilize the collapse of Shanhai first. While you are there, we will also help Shanhai to reunite in the virtual world. We won't make you wait too long."
"To prevent any accidents, we will each give you a self-defense treasure. Even if you really encounter the [Resurrection of the Void World], you will be able to escape calmly."
"You have the ability to infuse true spirits. If the situation is really urgent, I won't force you to go."
…
Now that things have come to this, under the gaze of the saints, Li Fan could only nod silently.
Otherwise it would not be in line with the character of Shanhai Xingzhe.
But Li Fan would naturally not fight to the death with someone from the virtual world. If anything went wrong, it would definitely come true in an instant.
"The mountains and seas ahead may collapse later. We should set off immediately without delay."
"But you need to be careful..."
"The mountains and seas ahead must be important enough to attract the resurrected attackers from the virtual world. The continuous time may be better than the three Avengers and where we are now. The three saints have fallen, and the group is leaderless. It must be an unimaginable doomsday scene. It may not be easy to stabilize the situation. Fellow Daoist, you must be careful." Shouqiu reminded solemnly.
"I reflected on myself." Li Fan nodded slightly, and then looked at the Three Saints.
But he is waiting for the promised protective treasure.
The three saints would not go back on their word. They each shot out a stream of light and flew in front of Li Fan.
The moment light and shadow appear, you can feel its extraordinaryness.
What Lianshan gave was a wooden stick.
The surface is uneven, as if it was picked from a tree.
But the wooden stick exudes a sense of vicissitudes from time to time, which shows that it is not as simple as it seems.
As expected, Lianshan explained, as if reminiscing: "This staff was used when I first climbed Shangfang Mountain. Although it has been with me all these years, I have never used it again. Now you are responsible for the people and are in danger. I will give it to you."
Li Fan stroked it gently, and the moment he touched it, he seemed to feel the path Lian Shan had walked through this trekking pole.
There are vast and continuous mountains that have not yet been swallowed by Daoyan.
Li Fan was overjoyed and put the trekking pole into his pocket.
The protective treasure given by Lianshan is so precious, and the one given by Guihai is no less valuable.
It still looks ordinary, just a shovel.
But it seemed to be gathering an infinite source of power. Just by being close to it, Li Fan felt that his whole body was nourished. He felt much more relaxed.
"It was with this shovel that I opened up the road to the infinite sea. Now that the mountains and the sea are merged, this shovel has long been of no use. It would be a waste to keep it with me. You can take it away." The Return to the Sea Saint said calmly.
Li Fan suppressed his inner excitement and accepted the item.
Next, it was Taiyi's turn.
"They both are very generous. I don't have anything to give..."
"I'll give you this little thing."
Tai Yi said it lightly, but from the fleeting expression on his face, it was clear that the gift would not be just a small gadget.
"Don't humiliate Him." Sure enough, after seeing Li Fan put it away, Tai Yi couldn't help but say something again.
It was a stone stick.
It looked good, crystal clear, as if made of jade. But the moment he touched it, Li Fan sensed a monstrous bloody aura.
To describe it as a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood is not enough to describe even a fraction of it.
It seemed as if countless lives had perished under this stick.
Even with Li Fan's experience, his face changed slightly after seeing such bloodiness.
But at least he was not frightened so much that the stone stick fell out of his hand.
"I didn't expect that the Taiyi Saint, who is always smiling and seems to be the easiest to talk to, has actually walked such a horrific road of killing." Li Fan realized that even after billions of years, there were still countless grievances lingering on the top of the stone stick, and he was secretly surprised.
Wooden sticks, shovels, and stone clubs.
The gifts sent by the three saints looked ordinary, even a little crude.
But it is undoubtedly a treasure of mountains and seas.
Holding a wooden stick and a shovel on the waist.
The stone stick was carried behind his back.
Li Fan bowed and said goodbye to the people on the other side, and was about to set out to cross the virtual world.
"Be careful."
Naturally, everyone didn't want anything to happen to Li Fan, so they all gave him warnings.
"Come here."
Without waiting for Li Fan to say goodbye to everyone one by one, the three saints' phantoms exerted their strength together.
Li Fan felt himself being swept away by a huge force and thrown into the boundless void.
Fortunately, I didn't lose my way.
Instead, it moves forward at a high speed towards a certain predetermined direction.
Just like riding the wind and waves and cutting through thorns and brambles.
Occasionally, waves from the virtual world would rise, but they could not be stopped at all.
In the virtual world, ninety thousand years passed in a flash.
In a blink of an eye, Li Fan saw the real bodies of the Three Saints in front of him.
It is like a lighthouse standing in the darkness, driving away all the surrounding winds and waves.
but……
Even with the protection of the Three Saints, Li Fan was very keen to see that the level of activity of Dao Yan nearby was far beyond what it had been before in the mountains and seas.
“It’s almost as raging as the End of Time.”
