Chapter 1740: Sudden Realization of the Way to Save the World
"After the mountains and seas were destroyed, only the accumulated true spirits remained in the virtual world. When we crossed the river upstream, we all witnessed the number of such true spirits. They were vast and boundless."
"This is just a tiny part of Shanhai's long reincarnation life. What about the accumulation of hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of reincarnations?"
"I'm afraid it's unimaginable, as if infinite!" Daode slowly expressed his guess.
Li Fan immediately thought of his last life, when he remained awake for a while after activating Huanzhen. He then realized that his infinite spirituality seemed to be being consumed in the process. He instinctively retorted, "The reappearance of mountains and seas requires the medium of the true spirit. The accumulated true spirit was probably used to reshape the mountains and seas as Huanzhen was activated. My previous experience is the best proof!"
Faced with Li Fan's solemn words, Shouqiu and Daode thought silently for a while, and then seemed to think of something and smiled silently.
"What are you two laughing at?" Li Fan was a little puzzled at first, but after sensing what they were thinking, his expression became a little strange.
Regardless of the fact that Li Fan already knew, Shou Qiu still shook his head and said, "Fan Daoist friend, Fan Daoist friend, the reason why you feel that your true spirit is being consumed is because you are getting more and more tired during the crossing."
"Is it possible that..."
"In addition to the feeling of weakness caused by the consumption of energy extracted, absorbing a large amount of true spirit accumulated in the mountains and seas, to the point of exceeding the limits of the body. Will it also produce a similar feeling?" Shouqiu and Daode both stared at Li Fan.
"Otherwise, with your infinite spiritual power, if it is really drained away, how can you easily recover?"
"Besides, the true and false great way, the supernatural power is supreme. To reshape the mountains and seas, why do we need to rely on the so-called silted true spirit?"
"When a lone star descends into the world, it will surely engulf everything. Even the virtual world and the accumulated true spirits are no exception. The process of Huanzhen launching the journey to the end of time is also a process of collecting true spirits along the way. With your current strength, it will definitely be difficult for you to accept such a large number of true spirits in a short period of time."
Li Fan instinctively frowned and retorted: "Absurd, how can I not tell the difference between eating too much and starving to death! As for the true and false avenues..."
After a pause, Li Fan actually felt that what the other party said made some sense.
But due to his natural suspicion, Li Fan quickly put this sense of identity behind him.
Squinting his eyes, Li Fan looked at Shouqiu and Daode, and he slowly came to his senses. Because the Li Fan in the past was actually the same person as himself, Shouqiu and Daode, who shared the same aspirations, did not treat him as an "outsider".
Coupled with the noble existence he displayed, Shouqiu and Daode always speculated on all of Li Fan's past actions with the utmost kindness and compassion.
This is completely opposite to Li Fan.
After coming to his senses, Li Fan did not choose to continue arguing.
"This is not difficult to verify. When it is activated next time, I will just keep an eye out."
"In this life, I have experienced the baptism of the Three Saints for billions of years, and witnessed countless reincarnations of mountains and seas. My ability to endure has reached a new level. I will definitely not be as muddle-headed as in my last life." Li Fan said in a deep voice.
Shouqiu and Daode both nodded.
The three of them tacitly skipped the issue and stopped dwelling on it.
"Then let's talk about it again. To save the world, you must first save yourself."
These five words are clearly Li Fan's explanation to his present self.
There is nothing special about it, it just means what it says.
If you want to save the mountains and seas, save yourself first.
"Whenever a Taoist friend goes there, his heart is with the mountains and the sea. In order to save the world, sometimes when he has to make a choice between himself and the mountains and the sea, he will tend to lean more towards the mountains and the sea."
"It is said that one's nature cannot be changed. With his noble character, even if he reincarnates thousands of times, there are probably some things he will never do. This also means that the countless reincarnations of Shanhai are not all possibilities. Perhaps the chance of survival lies with fellow Taoist Fan now!" Lord Shouqiu commented.
"No matter how hard you try, you can't stop the lone star from coming. If you want to save the mountains and seas, you have to compete with the star. Or even defeat it."
"but……"
After a long period of silence and thought, Daode continued speaking.
"It may be impossible to compete with the stars while maintaining the existence of the mountains and seas."
"The spirits of mountains and seas split up, and then returned to the stars. We cultivators originated from mountains and seas. We want to jump out of our own affiliation, save mountains and seas, and fight with the stars at the same time. I'm afraid that even the true gods couldn't do it back then."
Words of morality gave Li Fan inspiration.
Just like a bolt of lightning, he suddenly realized: "The mountains and seas and the stars, one rises while the other falls. If you want to stop the mountains and seas from returning to the stars, you can either go back to the beginning of the split spirit and take their place. Or..."
"Before the stars swallow up the mountains and seas, take them first and take them into your possession."
"The mountains and seas are gone, but I am here. Then I face the stars."
"Is this what is meant by saving yourself before saving the world?" A strange light flashed in Li Fan's eyes.
Vaguely seeing the countless flashes of images in Li Fan's mind and his throbbing emotions, Shouqiu and Daode neither agreed nor objected.
Just keep silent.
Not to mention, even after swallowing up the mountains and seas, can it really compete with the stars?
Even if Li Fan really wins...
Swallowing mountains and seas, destroying lone stars, what will Li Fan become after achieving all this? It is completely beyond imagination.
How can we be sure that he will still choose "saving the world" in the end?
It cannot be calculated and it cannot be known.
There is nothing we can do about it.
But after trying countless reincarnations and always failing, this was the only way out.
At this moment, Shouqiu and Daode could actually vaguely feel how conflicted Li Fan was when he made this decision.
Li Fan could naturally feel what the other two were thinking.
He sneered: "You two have thought further than I do. Swallowing mountains and seas, snatching food from the mouths of stars, how can it be so easy to swallow?"
"Don't even mention the stars. I can't even pass the level of the Three Saints, or even the Saints at the Beginning of Mountains and Seas. Do you think if I swallow them in the name of saving the world, they will just accept their fate? Only you, Li Fan, can do it, but I can't?"
"In the end, it all comes down to your cultivation."
I have to say that what Li Fan said makes a lot of sense.
Shouqiu and Daode thought about it carefully again, and came to their senses. They sighed and said, "We have seen what Daoyou Fan has done, and we have come to believe that Daoyou Fan is the only savior of the mountains and seas. We believe in him unconditionally. Even if you want to swallow up the mountains and seas, we will support you."
"As for other people, they certainly won't be like us."
"unless……"
“Incorporate all the living beings in the mountains and seas into the Xuan Ji Ring, and share the same aspirations!” Shou Qiu suddenly blurted out these words.
Even Li Fan's heart skipped a beat when he heard this.
Given his personality, it would be impossible for him to share his inner thoughts with others.
But by chance, the first attempt was made.
Only after tasting the sweetness and realizing that it does no harm to oneself will one do it repeatedly.
However, the three of them being of one mind and one purpose is already the limit of what Li Fan can accept now.
No one had ever thought of opening his heart to all the creatures in the mountains and seas like Shouqiu did.
"Isn't it a bit too extreme, Brother Shouqiu?"
"There are more than billions of living beings, and there are too many variables." Li Fan said in a muffled voice.
Shouqiu did not give up his idea, the more he thought about it, the brighter his eyes became.
"The more noble one's conduct is, the more one can feel the greatness of fellow Taoists in the past. I believe that even ordinary creatures in the mountains and seas, after feeling what happened in the mountains and seas, should be able to understand and make the right choice. As for those stubborn ones..."
“It’s hard to stop the trend!”
Daode also said emphatically: "If you think about it carefully, it is indeed feasible!"
Shouqiu added: "If it weren't for the Three Saints' Xuanji Ring, how could the Mountain and Sea Saints work together? Our plan is just to imitate the story of the Three Saints. However, the scale of the concentric ring we want to build is much larger than the Xuanji Ring. Our hopes are also far greater than those of the Three Saints!"
"If there were no greater concentric ring covering the mountains and seas, how could all the creatures in the mountains and seas be united in their hearts for their own survival?"
Shouqiu and Daode looked at Li Fan with burning eyes.
His eyes were full of undisguised enthusiasm.
Li Fan naturally knew that this enthusiasm was not directed at him.
Instead, it is the result of unity and concern for the savior saint of the past.
"In a sense, what I did in the past was infinitely close to the ideal self of Shouqiu and Daode. Although I cannot reach them, my heart aspires to them. However, under the influence of Xuanji Ring, I felt the same way. Naturally, I will approve of them even more."
The changes in Shouqiu and Daode in a short period of time are truly bizarre.
In fact, it is reasonable.
The reason for this is that the Li Fan of the past was too powerful. His deeds were too legendary. Even after his death, he could still command and influence the saints based on his deeds.
"But so what?"
"Now the survival of Shanhai still depends on me." Li Fan snorted in his heart.
"If you think about it carefully, Shouqiu and Daode's plan might actually be feasible."
"But we need to think long-term."
"The Great Dao returns to the Hall of Truth, stealing opportunities, ropes, and the wonderful fortunes of mountains and seas..."
In Li Fan's mind, thousands of thoughts evolved and changed.
The saints are working together to reunite and save the mountains and seas from the threat of the virtual army.
However, they had no idea that the three saints in their own team, three extremely important saints, had quietly changed.
Although he already had a plan in mind, Li Fan did not dare to reveal even a little bit.
He knew very well that if he did not expose his inner thoughts in a united way, he would immediately become the public enemy of Shanhai!
The countless memories you have accumulated in the past should also become treasures in the eyes of others.
The strength is far from enough to execute the plan, so we need to remain dormant.
"But maybe we can start considering adding more like-minded candidates."
After witnessing the changes of Shouqiu and Daode, Li Fan looked at Mo Yongge, who had not yet become a saint, and said thoughtfully.
"When choosing people, you must be careful."
"Like keeping the moral code of Qiu, being willing to care about the mountains and the sea is the minimum requirement."
"It's better to have someone who has fought alongside my past self and whose character has been proven."
Considering various aspects, Mo Yongge is undoubtedly an extremely suitable candidate.
Mo Yongge was definitely not a simple person, as he was able to leave Li Fan with a vague memory.
It can be said that he was once Li Fan's loyal follower and comrade-in-arms, and he never abandoned him, no matter life or death.
The song proved the truth, and the distant sound echoed among the broken mountains and seas, inspiring the hearts of the saints. Even in desperate situations, the saints never gave up and fought hard.
Although Mo Yongge has not yet become a saint, with Li Fan's help, it is a foregone conclusion.
"The only problem is the principle of unity of purpose, which comes from the Three Saints Xuanji Ring."
"The only ones who truly share the same mind are the first three saints to sit in the seat. The rest who come later are at best only influenced subtly."
"The three saints can be one with each other. But there is a natural gap between them and other creatures in the mountains and seas. It is impossible for them to be of one mind and one heart. But I am different."
"To be absolutely sure, the person I choose must be of the same mind as mine!"
A cold light flashed in Li Fan's eyes.
"The Xuanji Ring is extremely mysterious. It was extremely difficult to crack it at the beginning. Now I want to make a new breakthrough based on it..."
"If you don't understand the principle clearly, you can't do it."
Li Fan was not confused by his past self.
He still has a very clear understanding of his own strength.
“With my current understanding of the Xuanji Ring, even if I add Shouqiu and Daode, I’m afraid I may not be able to add another person to the Xuanji Ring.”
“The one who tied the bell must be the one who can untie it. If you want to achieve your goal, you still have to rely on the Three Saints.”
“But how can we push it forward secretly?”
Li Fan looked at Shanhai, which was shrouded in dark clouds and was in an increasingly critical situation. He immediately had a rough idea in his mind.
"But don't be impatient, lest you reveal any clues."
"Compared to my past self, the number of reincarnations I've experienced is negligible. I can just take my time."
When I understood the truth about Huan Zhen, my worry that he would leave me at any time disappeared.
You can also plan everything more prudently.
Unity of knowledge and action.
What Li Fan did was just as he thought.
Continue to search for the saint who can enlighten you in the mountains and seas.
In addition to the three people from the Holy Dynasty, two more talented people were found.
He was generous with his true spirit and tried his best to help infuse it.
Compared to his past practice of just doing his job perfunctorily, Li Fan is now even more serious and attentive.
Because in his opinion, these newly promoted saints are very likely to become his allies in the future.
While the true spirit was being infused, Li Fan was also comprehending the so-called true spirit that he had mobilized.
With my own memories of the past, my perception of them is also quietly changing.
"The accumulated true spirits are what remain after the destruction of the mountains and seas."
“And the mountains and seas originate from God.”
"In a sense, this is also the fundamental reason why people can become immortals and saints."
"The accumulated true spirit is essentially no different from the true spirit that all living beings are born with."
"In other words, the disaster of the annihilation of the virtual world has no effect on the [True Spirit] itself."
"Only when a lone star appears can they be wiped out."
"But, is it to erase or absorb?"
Li Fan thought to himself as he recalled the scene he had seen at that time.
He once had the idea of releasing all the true spirit hidden in his body.
The moment he noticed it, Huanzhen showed an unprecedented warning.
"In theory, even if the mountains and seas collapse, we can still return them with a thought by changing the true and false."
"That is to say..."
"Can the True Spirit Flood even influence Huanzhen's reshaping of the mountains and seas?"
Recommend a book, a new work by the great writer Yan zk, extremely good!
Demons, gods, strange stories, and the martial arts world.
In the tavern, the barmaid of the Hu ethnic group smiled and avoided the hands of others, with her tail swaying under her skirt; in the night market, no one knew how many people were human and how many were ghosts under the hoods; tigers were walking on the mountains and rivers, and an old dragon was sleeping in the Dongting Lake.
A sword, a man, and a book.
The road is ahead, the way is in the heart, and the sword is in the hand.
Slay the demons and monsters, and the gods will retreat.
The true god has arrived, and there are no taboos!
