Chapter 1745: The New God Comes to the World
This emptiness and vanity is fundamentally different from being swallowed by the void.
The Dao was swallowed up, but the mountains and seas still existed as a whole. It was intermittent, like a tree that had been gnawed and riddled with holes. As long as the tree had not collapsed, the saints who could walk freely between the mountains and seas could do their best to avoid the fallen areas and still maintain their own survival.
But the emptiness of the mountains and seas was like a fire starting from the roots of the trees. The fire was raging from beginning to end, engulfing the mountains and seas, and nothing could escape.
Even if the saints hid in the virtual world, they only changed their locations. Their connections with the mountains and seas remained. The invisible fire would follow this mysterious connection and bury the saints together!
"In the battle of the Spirit Division, Shanhai actually lost?"
While the saints were shocked, a great fear instinctively arose in their hearts.
This is a sign of one's own impending demise.
When the mountains and seas are sunk, a new god is crowned. All that the mountains and seas have received from the gods, and all that the living beings have received from the mountains and seas, must return.
As long as you don't jump out of the mountains and seas, and the time node is after the distraction, you can't escape this disaster.
The saints looked at the other side of the mountains and seas from afar. All the things that had lasted for billions of years seemed to have turned into points of brilliant light, flowing and converging towards the beginning of the mountains and seas.
It was silent at first, and then as the glow continued to gather, it gradually became a huge force.
Even though there were virtual realms blocking the way, the huge waves could cross them with just a slight hit.
In front of this unstoppable wave, the saints also felt the attraction of the mountains and seas as if they were their destination. Even though they could still stabilize their bodies for the time being, bits and pieces of energy in their bodies were already beginning to drain away uncontrollably.
Not just the creatures in the mountains and seas.
The virtual world cannot escape this change.
In the darkness, there seemed to be shadows surging. Dark threads flew out from the virtual world and rushed towards the beginning of the mountains and seas.
As if it was forcibly separated and pulled out, a huge roar and a harsh friction sound emerged.
"Even those who were once swallowed by the void are not immune. This..."
"Who is the Divine One?"
At this time of drastic changes, Li Fan's attention was more focused on the mountain and sea stone slabs.
The petrified mountains and seas are more resistant to this kind of regression than in normal conditions.
But not much.
After persisting for almost twice as long, he was ultimately unable to escape the fate of becoming a god.
It was like a series of sharp winds, gradually smoothing out the undulating lines on the stone slab. The various principles that Li Fan had previously comprehended on the mountain and sea stone slab were swept away by the torrent and headed towards the new god at the beginning of the mountain and sea.
Eventually, the so-called hard stone slabs slowly turned into countless gravel and disappeared.
"Fellow Daoist Zhou... Hui, what you just said is about returning to the virtual world. I... am willing to give it a try." At this critical moment, Duan Chen was the first to speak.
The trend of returning to God is becoming more and more intense.
During the time when the saints hesitated, not only had nearly one tenth of their existence disappeared, but their figures could no longer maintain stability. It was like a pool of stirred ink, flowing uncontrollably towards the beginning of the mountains and seas.
Even the influence that the Saints could have on the outside world was also greatly dissipated. Specifically, the Saints' voice transmission was intermittent and as weak as the buzz of a mosquito.
If Li Fan was not in his prime now, he would probably have been ignored in this grand scene of mountains and seas returning to their gods.
Even though all the saints were in trouble, Li Fan was still able to maintain his peak strength.
It was because the moment Li Fan noticed the change, he enveloped himself in the change between truth and falsehood.
Oneself is in the middle between truth and falsehood, and even when faced with the overwhelming trend of returning to the gods, one can sit still, light-hearted and at ease.
If the mountains and seas today are a big river that keeps surging towards the East China Sea, then the alliance formed by Li Fan, Shou Qiu and Daode is a small boat on the river.
Although he was unable to stop the river flow, he was able to protect himself temporarily.
Li Fan temporarily ignored the call of the saints, but frowned and asked: "What does Shouqiu think of this new god?"
"Even though I have seized the fruit of the Mountain and Sea Spirit Division..."
“I’m afraid he can’t be called a true god. At best, he’s just a new round of mountains and seas.” Shouqiu hit the nail on the head.
Li Fan couldn't help but smile: "At least, in the Great Dao Return to Truth Hall, all the Daos remain unchanged. At least, the changes of truth and falsehood that we hold are still as stable as Mount Tai."
"We are like this, so I think there are still similar people in the mountains and seas. Compared with that true god, they are still far behind."
"There is even a virtual world. Although the virtual world swallowed up the mountains and seas and was forced to spit them out, the virtual world itself did not dissipate. Not to mention the [stars]. This new god will inevitably have to confront the virtual world. I think, it's just another cycle restarting, and in the end, it can't escape the result of a lone star being born." Daode also nodded in agreement.
“But…” Shouqiu had no idea what he had foreseen, and his expression suddenly became serious.
"Compared to the mountains and seas, this new god will probably not sit still and wait for death so easily. After he has dealt with the old mountains and seas, he will probably absorb the remnants of us."
"It doesn't matter. When the time comes, let him have a taste of how powerful I am!" Li Fan chuckled.
After awakening some of his past memories, Li Fan had no doubt whether he could suppress this new god.
In countless reincarnations in the past, scenes similar to today's have appeared before.
But in the end, everything can always be reset.
"Since one can return to the stars with one thought, one can also lose the spirit with one thought."
"Let us go upstream and take a closer look at the true face of the new god." Li Fan said with narrowed eyes.
Shouqiu and Daode naturally agreed.
"As for the rest of the saints..."
In the tide of returning to God, the saints have long been unable to maintain their own appearance.
Only a series of distorted afterimages remained, unrecognizable, still shouting something at Li Fan.
However, their connection with reality became increasingly weak, and even Li Fan found it difficult to hear them clearly.
“However, the foundation of the avenue still exists.”
"Rather than letting the new god get away with it, it's better to let me get away with it."
"Let us enter the great way and return to the truth!"
The so-called return to the virtual world was just a lie to delay. At this moment, the saints had no power to resist, so Li Fan no longer hid and showed his sharp fangs.
With a wave of his sleeves, he took all the struggling images of the saints into his bag.
Stealing fortune, fortune-telling, prophecy, karma judgment, star chart...
On the panel, lines of characters quietly appeared.
Some of them were already there, and after this absorption, they became clearer. Some of them were new, adding bricks and tiles to the Hall of Return to Truth.
As for the surprised mood and feelings of the saints, Li Fan naturally didn't care.
While tasting the flavors of the saints, he followed the torrent of returning to the gods and quickly headed towards the beginning of the mountains and seas.
Without the barrier of the virtual world, and in accordance with the raging trend, the speed was extremely fast, and within a blink of an eye, one-fifth of a hundred billion years had been crossed.
However, as he got closer to the new god, Li Fan's sense of destiny became stronger and stronger.
Even with the protection of the changes of truth and falsehood, his own existence and the foundation of his Taoism gradually fell into turmoil.
I had no choice but to huddle together with Shouqiu and Daode for warmth.
"A new god is being conceived. Even though we haven't seen him yet, we can tell from the momentum that he is extraordinary."
Morality and Shouqiu were inspired.
The Trinity, in the blink of an eye, has traveled forward another 50 billion years.
We are one step closer to the beginning of mountains and seas, where the new gods are.
With Li Fan's current understanding of the change between true and false, it would be difficult for him to keep the Great Dao of the Universe in the hands of the new god. The wind of destiny of returning to the god distorted the change between true and false. It seemed that it would break at any time.
"At this point, the Eternal Cloak is no longer of any use to me."
Li Fan did not force himself any more and decisively abandoned the Avenue of the Universe.
Repeated golden light spread in the surrounding torrent. Li Fan, who took off his outer clothes, suddenly felt that the pressure on him was much less.
The change between true and false no longer requires maintaining anything else, just protecting Li Fan's thoughts.
Morality follows suit.
Only by guarding the hill can we persist.
As the helmsman of this small boat, he continued to lead the boat towards the new god.
"I see that Fellow Daoist Fan seems to be looking for something along the way. Is it the two white spots hidden in the mountains and seas that we saw before?" Shouqiu asked while driving.
Li Fan nodded: "At the end of time, the mountains and seas were lost to the virtual world. Everything was gone, only two white dots jumped out. Facing the erosion of the virtual world, their tenacity was even greater than that of the entire mountains and seas. This shows the strength of these two white dots."
"But they hide very deeply. Except for the finale of the lone star coming to the world, I have never seen them in other situations. Now that the mountains and seas have returned to the gods, all the obstacles in the virtual world have been swept away. This is the best time to observe them. But..."
Li Fan frowned slightly: "I have traveled through most of the mountains and seas, but still can't see any trace of them. Strange..."
"At this moment, the mountains and seas have not yet completely disappeared, so they may still be able to hide. Let's wait and see."
The closer you get to the beginning of the mountains and seas, the faster you return.
There are only ten billion years left to travel to the new god.
Even Shouqiu had to give up his own path.
The only thing left for the three of them was a common consciousness of one mind and one heart, and they boarded a small boat called the Change of Truth and Falsehood.
"The true master of immortality must have perished in the battle of the Spirit Division."
"For some time, I have enjoyed the road to immortality all to myself."
"Compared to the past, I do have different feelings. I just don't know if I can fight for the position of the Lord of Immortality."
Shouqiu suddenly spoke up.
"Hmm?" Li Fan felt a little strange when he heard that.
Because he was in a state of unity of purpose, he actually did not notice Shouqiu's enlightenment.
It took a moment before I understood.
Not only the path of the three people, but even the effect of [Unity of Mind and Heart] gradually disappeared as they got closer to the beginning of the mountains and seas.
Even though we have known each other for such a long time and have been through so many things.
Li Fan also instinctively felt a sense of vigilance.
The unity of purpose has not completely failed, and what Li Fan is thinking is naturally sensed by Shouqiu and Daode.
They all couldn't help but laugh: "Fan Daoist friend, you are really... cautious."
"It seems that only by being of one mind and one heart can you truly feel at ease."
"But it's better to be careful."
Li Fan did not feel embarrassed when faced with the two people's teasing.
"With the attitude of guarding the hill, the mere Lord of Immortality will surely be able to capture him easily."
"Besides, we may not be able to fight for this soul division in the next life..."
Li Fan was speaking when he suddenly stopped.
Just at that moment, while rapidly flowing downstream, I caught a glimpse of a standing figure.
The small boat that Li Fan and the other two were in, accompanied by the momentum of Guishen, was heading towards the beginning of the mountains and seas at a very fast speed.
And that figure seemed to be able to remain motionless in the torrent.
The two sides passed each other in an instant, and Li Fan could only get a vague glimpse of them.
"just……"
"It's one of the two white spots." Li Fan said with certainty.
Appearance and body shape can be disguised, but the unique aura cannot be changed.
"But he is not the one I met when I first entered the Infinite Sea."
"But its strength is equally unfathomable."
Li Fan is now in the midst of the torrent of returning to God, and he is well aware of how terrifying the devouring power from the new God is at this moment.
But the figure just now still had a calm and relaxed feeling.
He seemed to be a little surprised at Li Fan, a passerby who passed by him, but he did not follow him to find out what was going on.
Instead, he chose to remain dormant and observe.
"Has Shouqiu seen through the other party's true colors?" Because the effect of unity of mind was weakened again, Li Fan took the initiative to ask.
Shouqiu pondered for a moment and shook his head slightly.
"Now that all paths have been brought under the control of God, all paths in the mountains and seas should be unavoidable. But that figure is immune to the impact? It's really strange. And..."
“He goes but doesn’t go, leaves but doesn’t leave. He seems to be waiting for something.”
"Wait? Could it be..." Li Fan felt something in his heart, and suddenly looked up and looked forward.
The last ten billion years passed in a flash.
When we got to this point, the speed suddenly slowed down.
Like the confluence of hundreds of rivers, the essence of life from all periods of the mountains and seas converges here, forming a dazzling and strange vortex.
Still, rotating.
Swallow and shoot out.
Intersection and burst out.
…
There are many contradictions, but because of the existence at the center of the vortex, all the mutually exclusive existences can coexist.
god.
It's not active peeping.
Instead, the moment he saw this huge whirlpool, the figure of God jumped into his sight.
Then the thoughts were turned upside down and shattered into pieces.
All other consciousness ceased to exist, only the figure of God continued to echo.
Li Fan never expected that even if it was just a new god who replaced the mountains and seas, even if it was just a new god that was still in the making.
The power is so terrifying.
Even if there are changes of truth and falsehood to protect you, even if the Three Saints support you with one heart.
Under the reflection of God's Shadow, his thoughts were easily shattered.
There is almost no power to resist.
A small boat capsized and fell into a huge whirlpool.
Along with the mountains, seas and all things, they slowly gathered towards the new god in the center.
It was unknown how long it had been since he lost consciousness that Li Fan gradually regained consciousness.
In a trance, I recalled what had just happened, and then looked at my current situation, and I couldn't help but be horrified.
Although it seemed like I had been in a coma for a long time, I was not much closer to God.
The speed at which the new god digests the overall essence of the mountains and seas does not seem to be particularly fast.
Li Fan just moved a little closer to the whirlpool.
The reason why I woke up...
It was because Daode sacrificed himself and used his remaining thoughts as nutrients, and Shouqiu continued to nourish him, that Li Fan was awakened.
"All Daoists, please look at the new gods ahead."
"It seems that something is wrong."
Shouqiu's weak voice came, and Li Fan's heart moved, and he couldn't help but look in the direction.
