Chapter 1733: Years of Mountains and Seas
"Did Brother Thief Ji notice anything wrong?" Li Fan asked knowingly.
"It is indeed a bit strange. A moment ago, I... seemed to feel that another [Opportunity Stealer] Saint had descended upon the mountains and seas." After hesitating for a moment, the Opportunity Stealer Saint still spoke quietly.
"The two paths were established on the same day, appearing between the mountains and the sea. I only felt that my foundation was shaky, as if it was being taken away by the other party. At the same time, fear and greed arose in my heart..."
"That feeling is something I've never experienced before!" said the thief with a worried look on his face.
"Huh? Is this true?" Li Fan was surprised.
Then he frowned deeply: "How is this possible? Daoyou became a saint by stealing. One Dao cannot have two masters. How can there be a second master in the mountains and seas... Hmm?"
Having said this, Li Fan seemed to suddenly remember something and stopped talking abruptly.
Thief Ji immediately noticed that Li Fan was different, and asked quickly, "Did you remember anything, fellow Daoist?"
Li Fan hesitated for several seconds, "The strange changes that happened to you do have some clues. But..."
Glancing at Shouqiu Gong standing aside, Li Fan slowly said, "This involves other people's secrets, so it's not easy to speak directly. Taoist friend, don't worry, let me ask first."
"Then thank you, fellow Taoist!" said the Thief with a serious expression.
Pretend to communicate.
After a long while, Li Fan finally spoke through voice transmission, saying: "Daoyou must know that Lord Shouqiu became a saint by obtaining the fragment of the Great Dao of Immortality..."
After all, the thief was smart. Li Fan only mentioned it and he reacted instantly.
"You mean, Lord Shouqiu once had the same feeling as me?"
"It's even more serious than what you see. Shouqiu once said that he is not the real Lord of Immortality, but just got a piece of it by luck. But the real Lord of Immortality did not exist in the mountains and seas during Shouqiu's life period. He only existed at the beginning of the mountains and seas, just like many powerful people at that time."
"In order to avoid the catastrophe of Dao annihilation, they used the magical power of [Cutting the Future]. Therefore, they can exist in the past forever. Without special circumstances, they will never set foot in the Middle and End Mountains and Seas. That [Suo] came from the beginning of the mountains and seas, and left in a hurry because he was exposed..."
"Before leaving, he seemed anxious and angry. In addition, fellow Daoist sensed another aura that belonged to stealing the opportunity."
After many conditions were combined, Li Fan gave the answer: "Could it be that the one who came at that time was the ancient saint who was in charge of stealing machines at the beginning of the mountains and seas?"
Even without Li Fan saying this, Zhao Ji's body had already trembled slightly as he thought of this.
I instinctively felt it was unbelievable, but my fleeting feeling was definitely correct.
"Is there really another person who can steal machines between the mountains and the sea?"
"I haven't completely mastered the avenue of stealing opportunities yet?"
"Born at the beginning of the mountains and seas, his background must be deeper than mine. Plus the active emotions that sprouted in my heart at that time..."
"Could it be that this person's talent is even better than mine?"
The thief fell into deep doubt about himself.
Next, the thief seemed a little absent-minded.
It was not until he successfully differentiated his thoughts and inhabited the body of a lucky creature among the mountains and seas that he finally came to his senses.
Passing through the mountain and sea veins again, what I saw were all the saints.
There are Lianshan, Guihai, Taiyi, Guiming, Duanchen and Shouqiu, the six saints of mountains and seas in the previous section.
There are also more than ten people like the thief. Although they are not saints on the surface, they are actually the incarnations of the saints of the mountains and seas in the latter period.
The thief was already in mental turmoil, and now when he suddenly saw the mountains and sea ahead and his own absence, his heart was even more shocked.
Although he had learned from Li Fan that the battle ahead was fierce and only six saints were left, the thief was confident in his own strength and was convinced that he was definitely one of the six saints alive.
I didn't want to come here, only to find my original seat empty!
He was even more distracted: "Someone who is far less powerful than me has also survived. Isn't this a sign of something?"
Fortunately, he was just a mortal incarnation, and he had forced his way across the mountains and seas. The other saints did not notice anything unusual in Thief's heart for a while.
They were just discussing the plan to reunite the mountains and seas.
"Fellow Daoist Zhou Hui, you have already searched the mountains and the seas for talents that can be molded. There are many talented people coming later, but the world is extremely poor now. And the virtual world is coming more and more fiercely..."
"Although we have reunited now, we still cannot be careless." Saint Guihai sighed.
Who knows how brutal the war was, but the Three Saints during this period of time were less arrogant and more cautious, preparing for a rainy day.
Before Shanhai officially reunited, they were the same person, but had slightly different personalities due to different experiences.
The incarnations of the three saints' thoughts did not take over the main focus, and the three saints of this time and space were still the core.
They all nodded in agreement.
The atmosphere in the field became solemn for a moment, and the Lianshan Saint said again: "Fortunately, we only need to survive this disaster, and the mountains and seas ahead will be smooth as far as we can see! If we can successfully reunite this time, there will be no one in the mountains and seas that can stop us in the next 30 million years."
Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
After several reunions, they have already realized the benefits.
The total time of the broken mountains and seas is less than a million years.
Now the Lianshan Saint actually claims that there are another 30 million years of long time and sea waiting for them ahead.
If they were really connected one by one, to what extent would their strength expand?
The saints couldn't help but fall into reverie for a moment.
Even the thief who was a little dazed was cheered up by it.
"Yes, he hid in the beginning of the mountains and seas, and his strength was already fixed. And I went upstream and combined all my past selves. The true owner of the stolen machine is still unknown!"
…
Li Fan suddenly asked, "May I ask the Three Saints, how many years ago was the beginning of the mountains and seas? How long will this reunion last?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the Xuanji Ring suddenly became quiet.
Not to mention the saints present, even the transcendent monks in the mountains and seas know that the years in the mountains and seas are long.
Measuring by steps may seem romantic, but in practice...
In addition, every time you pass a certain distance, there will be a barrier between the road and the virtual world.
It is far from being summed up by the four words "extremely difficult".
The three saints in the past did not mention the details, but only left the specific year vague.
Affected by the Xuanji Ring and the intention of the Saints to escape, they chose to turn a blind eye to this problem.
Now that Li Fan had pointed it out, all the saints present had to face it again.
How long will life in the mountains and seas continue?
No one present knew the answer except the Three Saints.
Shouqiu Zhichangsheng is considered to have the longest lifespan among all the saints.
However, in front of the Three Saints, he can only regard himself as a young man.
Even Shouqiu didn't have an accurate answer to this question.
The saints had no choice but to focus their attention on the Three Saints.
It can be seen that the Three Saints really don't want to answer this question.
The Xuanji Ring fell into a long silence.
It was the incarnation of divine consciousness from later generations who slowly spoke and broke the silence.
"Since Daoist Zhou Hui asked, then I will answer it."
"I didn't mention it in the past because I was worried that it would hinder your ambitions to reunite. But after several successful reunions of Shanhai, I think everyone should be able to withstand it."
After hearing what his other self said, Saint Lianshan finally nodded.
"Knowing this early has its advantages. In this case..."
The three saints waved their hands at the same time, presenting images of continuous mountains and seas before everyone.
This was not the first time that the saints had seen a miniature panoramic view of mountains and seas, but they actually had no clear idea of which part of the mountains and seas they were in.
“The mountains and the sea merge, and there are traces to follow.”
"Like tree rings, each inch deeper is called a year."
"The mountains and seas are one year old. We are more familiar with the chronology..."
"About 100 million years."
Having said that, the saints looked relatively natural.
The number [billion] may seem scary, but after all, there are saints who have lived that long.
So it was acceptable for a while.
Glancing at the emotions of the people present, Lianshan continued slowly: "Since the mountains and the sea merged and we were born, as far as I can remember, the mountains and the sea have been together for nearly a thousand years."
As if tainted with the aura of long time, the mountains in the eyes of the saints seemed to become a little old in that instant.
There was dead silence in the Xuanji Ring.
One year is 100 million years.
A thousand years of mountains and seas is equal to one hundred billion years.
At first glance, it doesn't seem to be a very long number.
But all the saints present here have measured and crossed the mountains and seas with their own feet.
After much hard work, it will only take a million years to repair.
And there is still a long journey of hundreds of billions waiting for you...
Even with the mind of a saint, he couldn't help feeling dizzy for a moment after he understood it.
Even if we add in the smooth road of tens of millions of years mentioned by the Lianshan Saint ahead, they have only walked one ten-thousandth of this road!
Can I really finish it?
Such a thought suddenly emerged in the minds of the saints.
In the Xuanji Ring, the Six Saints are fine.
With the blessing of the Three Saints, even after knowing the truth, there is still a little bit of faith that can barely hold on.
The incarnations of the saints' spirits who had crossed over first with the help of the veins of mountains and seas were caught in mental storms of varying degrees.
If a journey of a hundred miles begins with a single step, then what they are doing now is far from even the beginning.
After realizing the difficulty of his mission, he did not collapse on the spot. This is already a manifestation of the mind of a saint.
Li Fan, like the other saints, had an expression of indescribable shock.
In fact, this has already been estimated.
After all, other people can only roughly guess the size of the mountains and seas through the phantoms of the mountains and seas shown from time to time by the Three Saints. But Li Fan had obtained the [Outline of the Changes of Mountains and Seas] written by Huanzhen.
What is recorded there is not just the mountains and seas of a certain moment.
But the whole picture of mountains and seas.
With Li Fan's strong spirit, he almost got lost when he saw such a huge amount of data. No wonder Huan Zhen always kept this option hidden until Li Fan grew to a certain level before revealing it.
After using infinite spirituality to completely imprint the mountains and seas and become a saint of mountains and seas.
Li Fan felt deeply suspicious about what the Three Saints said about the Avengers.
The years in the mountains and seas were really too long.
The saints are reunited like ants walking.
Besides, not to mention the various obstacles in the virtual world...
With the appearance of Li Fan, the True Spirit infused him with help. He indeed successfully reunited the mountains and seas several times.
What if Li Fan does not exist between the mountains and seas?
Can the mountains and seas really be reunited?
The story of the reunion of Shanhai started at the end of Shanhai and was passed down by Shanhai Traveler.
With the strategy and character of the Three Saints, they actually agreed and believed it.
And execute with it.
Indeed, theoretically speaking, if you can do one thing, you can do a hundred things. Even a thousand things, ten thousand things, is just a matter of following the routine and grinding.
Shanhai does have the potential to be a successful Avenger.
But this is based on the premise that everything in the virtual world is calm.
However, after just one million years of retrograde travel, Li Fan encountered many unexpected events, such as the incarnation of the virtual world and the web woven by the ancient saints.
It is really hard to imagine how many twists and turns there will be along the way.
Li Fan already felt that the life he had experienced so far was long enough.
But compared to the scale of hundreds of billions of years, he is really like a baby in swaddling clothes.
Faced with the huge gap, Li Fan began to hesitate.
I have kept it in my heart for a long time, but I never had the right opportunity to say it out.
Now that he had finally asked the question, Li Fan felt quite relieved.
Raising this question is not just a simple provocation or questioning.
And it really contains the meaning of asking for advice.
Even the immortal Shouqiu was unable to resolve the doubts in Li Fan's heart.
We can only place our hope on the Three Saints.
Seeing that everyone in the field was somewhat lost, the Lianshan Saint smiled and shook his head slightly: "It was because I foresaw this scene that I was unwilling to tell the real age of Shanhai."
"From the perspective of ordinary creatures, seeing the true length of the mountains and seas will indeed make one feel genuinely confused."
"but……"
"Since we are willing to implement the Shanhai Reunion Plan, it means that this plan will definitely work!"
"A hundred billion years may seem long, but it is just the road we have walked to get here."
"If you wish, you can truly experience the past billions of years of mountains and seas in my mind."
“I believe that once you experience it yourself, the confusion in your heart will disappear.”
The voice of Saint Lianshan echoed in the Xuanji Ring, emitting a faint white light.
The saints couldn't help but feel excited and regained some of their fighting spirit.
Li Fan also understood a little.
From the perspective of ordinary people's life, they would naturally be frightened by the terrifying order of magnitude of 100 billion.
But the Three Saints can be said to be the embodiment of mountains and seas.
As they said, billions are just the path they took on their way here.
Now I am going through it again, even though it is a little more bumpy.
Why not?
"It is because I have experienced it that I believe it." Li Fan said thoughtfully.
He was also the first to speak: "I dare to borrow the memories of the Three Saints and travel thousands of miles across mountains and seas."
"It's like the prophecy of the Avengers."
“Otherwise, I worry whether I can really make it.”
Li Fan seemed a little depressed.
Although the other saints did not speak of it, most of them felt the same way in their hearts.
This is the truth.
But whether you have experienced it personally or are just supported by vague beliefs are two completely different things.
The three saints looked at each other, as if they had carefully considered the matter.
Then he nodded in agreement.
"A hundred billion years is indeed a long time."
"I have led you through this journey, but you may not be able to stick with it all the way."
"Don't force yourself, just do your best."
"It is impossible to bear it with the clone's mind. It is better to use my real body."
The one who spoke was Lianshan's mental clone.
The scene returns to where Li Fan’s original body is, currently inside the Xuanji Ring of Mountains and Seas.
A hazy glow began to appear on the bodies of the three saints.
There seems to be infinite light, and infinite scenes are contained therein.
The three saints asked one last question, and waited until all the saints nodded in confirmation.
The light gradually rose, completely engulfing the figures of the saints!
