Chapter 1744: Mountains and Seas Can No Longer Survive
"The petrification of mountains and seas is like drinking poison to quench thirst. Although it temporarily cuts off the possibility of Daoyan's invasion, it also means that the mountains and seas here..."
Li Fan looked at the mountain and sea stone slabs in front of him, and he felt as if he was facing an ancient tomb.
It is solemn and lifeless.
It blocked the attack from the virtual world, but also cut off its own future.
"This is a delaying tactic of Shanhai. Daoyan invades Shanhai through its veins, just like poison entering blood vessels. Shanhai actively petrifies, which can prevent poison invasion in a short period of time, but it is harmful to the whole Shanhai. It can even be said that the harm is not less than being swallowed by the virtual world. Otherwise, facing Daoyan's massive attack, Shanhai could have chosen to petrify all of them long ago..."
Li Fan's mind swept across the petrified mountain and sea, and all kinds of thoughts surged up in his mind. He was very keenly aware that the mountain and sea stone slab was slowly expanding its scope as time went by.
Although the growth rate is slow, it is extremely determined.
Then he understood in his heart: "This process is irreversible. Once it starts, all the mountains and seas will eventually become a piece of stone. It can repel the invasion of the virtual world, but it is still difficult to stop the advent of the star. The day when the transformation of mountains and seas is completed, the lone star will appear in the world."
"In the final analysis, the purpose of dividing the mountain and sea spirits is to inherit the power of God. And this stone slab in front of me..."
"Even though I have hundreds of mountains and seas, I am not qualified to be called a God."
Shouqiu sensed Li Fan's thoughts and also said with emotion: "In the past, I sat on the mountain and looked at the sea. I felt that I was insignificant and the mountains and seas were vast, so I had all kinds of insights. However, now facing this petrified mountain and sea, I don't have any insights. Although its domain is vast and its path is broad, it is ultimately of no benefit to living beings."
Daode also agreed, "We can all sense this, so Shanhai must know it. The dead end of the future is only to delay for a moment. It seems that something big has really happened at the beginning of Shanhai!"
"What the Three Saints said before was 'the time to split the spirit has come', not 'Shanhai split the spirit'. It undoubtedly means that the saints of Shanhai want to compete with Shanhai for the opportunity to split the spirit. If it was not Shanhai who split the spirit back then, then Shanhai would not exist now. It is related to everything after the evolution of Shanhai, so it is necessary to fight for his life. Shanhai may have no choice but to do this. He has to face the Taotie saints, and protect himself under the attack of Daoyan..." Li Fan sneered.
"The saints are competing with the mountains and seas for the godhood. It's exciting just to think about it, but it's a pity that we have no chance to participate in this feast. However, why didn't fellow Taoist Fan see this change in his previous lives?" Daode asked.
"The cause of this strange change may be attributed to [Suo]." Li Fan looked at the ancient characters on the Avenue Hall that were no longer struggling.
"I used the Great Way of Stealing Opportunities to devour some of Suo's essence. Suo's strength must have dropped drastically. Everyone in the Taichu Immortal Realm is a vicious person. Suo's abnormality is bound to be discovered by others. I'm afraid he will become someone else's meal."
"Perhaps this is the fuse that caused the distraction." Li Fan frowned, trying to deduce something.
However, we know too little about the Taichu Immortal Realm.
In the end, nothing was gained.
"However, we can infer that the saints of the beginning of the mountains and seas are only one step away from performing the act of splitting the spirit. With a little help, they can cross that mysterious restriction."
The three of them communicated secretly.
After witnessing the petrification of mountains and seas, the virtual world also withdrew its siege forces.
Although it was still pitch black, in the eyes of Li Fan and others, it seemed much brighter.
This section of mountains and sea is no longer worth swallowing, and the crisis will be resolved.
This change was something I had never expected before.
The move of diverting the trouble eastward caused unexpected reactions from Shanhai and achieved the same final effect.
"The mountains and seas have turned to stone, like a huge rock lying across the sky. The Avengers have become meaningless."
Li Fan and others returned to the normal mountains and seas in the future and sat in the Xuanji Ring. The other saints became a little confused for a while because their long-standing goals disappeared.
"We are now like being in a small boat on the river. Whether the boat sinks or not is determined by others. We have no control over our destiny... It's really frustrating." Bai Xiao sighed.
"If it is still a split spirit of Shanhai, then it is fine. What I am afraid of is that another saint has occupied the original road of Shanhai. We were all born in Shanhai. If Shanhai did not exist from the beginning, wouldn't we also perish with it?"
The sundial's worries are not without reason.
Ever since the departure of the Three Saints, all the saints have felt an unconcealable uneasiness in their hearts.
Originally, it was thought to be caused by the erosion of the virtual world, but now as the wave of Dao annihilation receded, this uneasiness not only did not disappear, but became more and more intense.
It's like a catastrophe is about to happen.
But it seems that the saints can do nothing but wait silently for their own fate.
"Even ants try to survive, so are we just going to wait for death?" Taoji's eyes were filled with resentment.
"At the beginning of the mountains and seas. If only we had walked a little faster before!"
Just when the saints were in a state of confusion, Li Fan suddenly spoke up: "I do have a plan that may save you from this disaster. But I'm not completely sure."
"Fellow Daoist Zhou Hui, please feel free to speak!"
"The result of the distraction determines our fate. The only way to avoid its influence is to jump out of the mountains and seas. Although we saints are as strong as the mountains and seas, we are far from being alone in the mountains and seas." Li Fan said slowly.
"That's true. But we don't have much time left. The result of splitting the spirit will be revealed soon. How can we jump out of the mountains and seas... before then?" The saints were puzzled.
"Since the mountains and seas cannot accommodate us, we will return to the virtual world." Li Fan pointed to the darkness outside the mountains and seas.
"Over the years, I have been constantly infusing my true spirit. The accumulated true spirit is buried deep in the virtual world. After years of calling, I seem to have developed some kind of inexplicable connection with the virtual world. However, in the past, we were determined to reunite the mountains and seas, so it was inconvenient to reveal it. Now is different from the past, so it’s okay to tell you."
Fighting against Dao Yan of the Void Realm for so long has become an instinct. When the saints first heard this, they were all shocked.
However, thinking of the current situation, the serious and alert expression gradually disappeared.
"Return to the virtual world? Have you ever really tried it, Brother Zhou Hui?"
"In the virtual world, all existence disappears. Where will we go after we surrender?"
Although they did not object, the saints still had doubts in their hearts.
Li Fan said calmly, "Although I have never really tried it, I think it has a great chance of success. Didn't you see the virtual world incarnations that besieged Shanhai before? Their shapes are no different from those of real saints."
"If it can accommodate an incarnation, how can it not accommodate a true saint?"
Li Fan said in a deep voice: "Just give it a try. In the face of a disaster, do you have any better methods?"
Having said that, it is not the most critical moment yet.
The saints still had doubts.
until……
In an instant, the mountains and seas became illusory.
