Chapter 1739: United to Solve the Doubt
No matter how powerful he was in the past, the day he decided to make a "change", he disappeared from the concept of existence.
What is currently sealed inside is not the real consciousness.
Rather, it is "experience" based on extremely large amounts of memory data.
The owner of these memories originally belonged to Li Fan.
Therefore, after the contact began, it gathered in Li Fan's mind unstoppably.
But it is precisely because Li Fan in the past was already incredibly powerful that even with the disappearance of existence and the long memory of reincarnation in the mountains and seas, he can still respond to various external situations as if he were his real thoughts.
When you meet a suitable and important path, you will be hungry and devour.
When encountering a fatal crisis, you will be reminded.
Even when meeting old friends with whom he had fought side by side, he would come out and say hello.
But he no longer exists after all.
All that remains is the instinctive reaction based on one's own vast memory.
Therefore, when he found that Li Fan's current strength was not enough to fully accept his past experiences, he decisively cut off contact.
So Li Fan returned to reality.
"Is there anything wrong, Brother Fan? Why do I feel that you are uneasy?"
"What happened?"
Almost instantly, Li Fan felt the cordial greetings from Shouqiu Gong and Daode in his mind.
It was at this time that Li Fan was shocked to find that even under the influence of the Xuan Ji Ring's "one mind and one heart", his meeting with his past self's memory was still not noticed by others.
"It has been shown that Li Fan's strength was far above the Three Saints. Even if only a simple memory stack is left, he can ignore the concentric rule of the Xuanji Ring."
Li Fan was not surprised by this.
After all, no matter how powerful the Three Saints were, even at their peak before the mountains and seas were separated, they were only practicing in the mountains and seas. Li Fan, on the other hand, had accumulated countless reincarnations of mountains and seas.
"We may be of one mind, but I can now unilaterally block certain memories."
"I can bully others, but others cannot bully me. Isn't that a natural advantage?"
In just a moment, Li Fan narrowed his eyes and thought of this.
"But in this situation, there is no need to hide anything from Shouqiu and Daode."
After thinking for a moment, Li Fan decided to share his experience with them.
A moment later...
Shouqiu exclaimed, "I originally thought that it was bizarre enough that Fellow Daoist Fan was carrying Huanzhen and coming back several times. But I never thought that there was an even more tortuous past."
"It turns out that the mountains and seas have been destroyed countless times."
"It is a blessing for Shanhai to have Daoist Fellow Fan here!"
Daode was also shocked and speechless: "If I can share the same heart and mind with fellow Taoists, I will die without regrets."
Li Fan snorted, "I don't think so. If he really succeeded in saving Shanhai, it would be no exaggeration to boast about it. But he always fails. What's the difference between repeating it countless times and repeating it once?"
Shouqiu and Daode smiled bitterly when they heard this, and for a moment they didn't know how to respond.
"Okay, let's not talk about the past for now. I really need your help in making a judgment now."
"There are still a few questions in my mind."
"First, even though I am absolutely certain, I still have some doubts. Is the me in the past really gone? Or is this some kind of ideological belief imposed on me by him? Could it be that he still has some tricks up his sleeve? After I succeed in saving Shanhai, will he strike back?"
"Second, the question of the source of my keen intuition has finally been answered. But where the infinite spirituality comes from is still unknown. I just have a vague feeling that my past self did not doubt this. So no one has explained it to me. Is the infinite spirituality really infinite? Or is it the accumulation of countless reincarnations of my past self?"
"As for the third point? Save yourself first before saving the world. What do these five words mean?"
Li Fan spoke out all the doubts in his mind in one breath.
Open and aboveboard, without any eccentricity.
This is him. No matter how great, noble, and holy he once was, no matter how great, noble, and holy the other person appears to be, he will never trust others easily. He will always doubt what he should doubt.
Under the rule of unity and common purpose, Shouqiu Gong and Daode already knew what kind of person Li Fan was.
He was not surprised, but started to think seriously.
After a long while, Shouqiu Gong slowly spoke: "Regarding the first point, my judgment is consistent with morality. The Taoist friend Fan in the past should really not exist anymore."
"After exhausting everything, there is no way out. The only way is to risk everything, cut off the old self and create a new life. It's like starting over from scratch. Only in this way can there be a glimmer of possibility. This move is to seek the possible in the impossible. If there is still the so-called hidden hand left..."
"It leads to failure at the critical moment, and all previous efforts are wasted. Isn't it a waste of time? With the consideration and character of ordinary Taoist friends in the past, they would never do such a meaningless thing."
Li Fan nodded slightly.
Of course, I didn't completely believe Shouqiu's words. Even I doubted myself, let alone Shouqiu? He could be influenced by my past self, but Shouqiu, who shared the same aspirations, couldn't be influenced by him?
Just looking for some comfort for now.
Shouqiu naturally understood this truth and quickly skipped over it, focusing on Li Fan's second question: "Regarding the source of infinite spirituality. I now have two guesses."
"First, it is a trait that accompanies fellow Taoists through time and space, and is innate. It is because of this trait that fellow Taoists can have such a respectable experience. Otherwise, if you were simply born as a living being in the mountains and seas, and want to jump out of the cycle of reincarnation in the mountains and seas... even the Three Saints would probably not be able to do it."
"As for the second guess... Based on what you said, you had no doubts about the source of infinite spirituality when you left. If you came here through time travel, you would not understand the reason. Unless he knows some memories that you don't know. When he traveled through time, he witnessed the origin of infinite spirituality. As a person, he would not hide such an important thing from you. Since he didn't say it, then it's nothing. Therefore, we can only infer that infinite spirituality may come from the accumulation of his countless reincarnations."
Shouqiu seemed to see Li Fan trying to save Shanhai countless times, but after all the failures, he regrouped.
I couldn't help but look in admiration and at the same time feel fascinated.
"It's not just his own accumulation. Or perhaps it also includes the entire mountains and seas." Daode interjected.
"Oh? How do you mean that?" Li Fan asked.
"When the mountains and seas were destroyed, there were accumulated true spirits. The mountains and seas were revived from nothingness by the true and false avenues. What happened to the accumulated true spirits is still unknown. If they return to new mountains and seas, then this speculation is naturally invalid. If the mountains and seas reappear, it is not due to the true spirits of the past..."
"Then it may explain where the infinite true spirit in Daoist friend comes from."
"Those are the remains of the mountains and seas in the reincarnations." Daode said word by word.
