Chapter 1764: The Only Mortal Thing
"When he really tasted it, Li Fan realized that the countless selves he saw in his sea of consciousness were not just illusions. Or they were just faces covered with a similar skin used for intimidation.
And they are all real, Li Fan is really ordinary.
With each face that entered his stomach, Li Fan could clearly feel his own fear, resentment, and despair.
They even have their own unique life experiences.
They are all similar to Li Fan, starting from a humble beginning, practicing hard all the way to the beginning of the mountain and sea separation realm.
Even though Li Fan knew very well that such a thing had never happened in the real mountains and seas, after swallowing himself mouthful by mouthful, the memories of his "food" could not help but emerge in his mind.
It’s as if these were all the things he had experienced in his past reincarnations!
"The ability to pass off the fake as the real thing..."
"But even if it's really my past self, so what?"
"I'll swallow it too!"
"No matter where you come from or what your origin is, you will all serve as my spiritual enlightenment resource."
Li Fan's mood did not fluctuate at all. He swallowed and digested countless versions of himself without changing his expression and with great calmness.
Even his thinking wasn't confused by the sudden appearance of countless memories.
Just regard it all as what the Li Fan once experienced in countless reincarnations.
"What does his experience and his karma have to do with me?"
"I only enjoy his gifts. Everything else can be ignored."
Li Fan felt at ease, as if everything in the world was supposed to be this way.
Faced with countless curses from myself, he remained unmoved.
His mind was not shaken at all by the act of devouring his own spiritual thoughts.
The whirlpool in the sea of consciousness surged, slowly devouring all the faces.
Then he raised his head again and looked at the divine body above.
"The reason why I have so many distracting thoughts is actually due to the side effects of swallowing the spirit."
"But the dark clouds I have absorbed now are just a drop in the ocean..."
"Eat and digest."
Just as Li Fan finished digesting the first bite, the noise from the mountains and sea completely left him.
It seemed as if he and his fallen body were the only ones left in the world.
Li Fan ate alone and persistently like this.
Every time he swallowed, he seemed to understand more truths. At the beginning, Li Fan would savor the various flavors carefully.
But later, when the novelty gradually wore off, Li Fan simply chose to ignore it.
Just swallow it whole, the only thing you care about is the act of "swallowing" itself.
The power of God is an indescribable delicacy for any cultivator in the world. Even mountain and sea saints will fight to the death for the chance to taste it.
But what about the second bite, the third bite, and even countless bites?
The scale of the fallen divine body is difficult to estimate.
Even eating this thing has become an unbearable burden.
Li Fan felt that he was stretched to the point of discomfort, but the divine body in front of him was only one thousandth thinner.
With more and more memories of his reincarnation in his mind, Li Fan would feel a little dazed from time to time.
I forgot my first name and last name, and why I came here.
Only a strong obsession in his mind supported him to continue swallowing.
When Li Fan finished eating one-third of his entire body, he felt as if he had disappeared.
He was no longer [Li Fan], but became a part of the huge dark cloud.
The once fallen true god was revived through his new organ.
I felt something was wrong.
But the inertia that had been developed over countless years made Li Fan continue to swallow mechanically.
The dead silence and dark clouds seemed to become a little different.
There is some extremely ancient consciousness that is slowly reviving within it.
Li Fan had no way of noticing this.
Looking at the dwindling parts of the divine body that had not yet been devoured, he instinctively continued.
While completing the task, I also want to get rid of this endless torture as soon as possible.
Mortals swallow gods.
This journey is too long.
The journey was so long that Li Fan had forgotten himself and why he set out in the first place.
I don’t know how many years have passed.
Because he hadn't thought for a long time, Li Fan seemed to have completely lost his own thoughts.
And of the huge body of the god, only a small piece of dark cloud remained that had not completed the transformation.
With Li Fan's current ability, he only needs one last bite to complete the long journey of Devouring God.
The vortex slowly turned and dark clouds gradually moved in.
But at the last moment, Li Fan suddenly stopped.
“This feeling is…”
"disturbed?"
Li Fan pondered for a long time before he recalled what emotions were echoing in his heart.
"And fear and anger."
Having devoured most of the body of a god, he is no longer "ordinary" in the ordinary sense.
Li Fan only felt that all the emotions in his body were extremely unfamiliar.
"How could I be like this?"
"how so?"
The thoughts that had been frozen and stagnant for a long time naturally began to work again.
Just one last step to complete the transformation.
But Li Fan paused.
It is like the river flowing eastward, which is suddenly blocked.
A certain emotion is gradually accumulating and brewing.
When it accumulates to a certain level, it instinctively generates the motivation to urge. The original fallen body would not have such a change.
But at this moment, there is only one last step away from God's revival.
The huge consciousness in the dark clouds is about to awaken.
It was as if I was in a dream and I reached out my hand instinctively.
"Um?"
Sensing the urging from "others", Li Fan couldn't help but frown.
After countless years of devouring the divine body alone, he had already gotten used to being alone.
At this moment, I suddenly realized that there seemed to be other existences in the dark clouds, which was like thunder in broad daylight.
Frozen thoughts shatter layer by layer.
Li Fan's mind quickly recovered.
"Do I swallow God? Do God swallow me?"
“That was a close call.”
Looking at his whole body, Li Fan immediately understood his current situation.
"Just like the moment before the true God descended."
"It's just that the coming of the true God means that all things return to God and the dead are resurrected."
"And now, it's a resurrection from the dead!"
Li Fan thought calmly, ignoring the growing urging force of the dark clouds.
"How can it be said that swallowing a god is a common thing? Any strand of the dark clouds here can be mistaken for the real thing and create real experiences from the past."
"If I swallow it directly and roughly like I did, even if I could barely swallow it all, there would only be one result."
"The fallen true god returns again through my body."
“God is only one step away, and all subsequent events are summarized to the point where they have not yet occurred.”
"The distance between the mountains, the sea, and everything in the world is not an illusion. It is because they really no longer exist."
Li Fan had a vague understanding in his heart.
The place where the mountains and the sea separate is not time and space in the ordinary sense.
Instead, it takes the state of [True God] as the axis of derivation.
The moment of the true god's fall, when he is most complete, is the beginning of the division of the mountain and sea gods.
The separation of the gods from the mountains and seas ended, and the divine body disappeared without a trace, which was the end of the separation of the gods from the mountains and seas.
Li Fan devoured the divine body step by step, and he was getting closer to the complete state of true god.
This is the first moment here.
Thinking of the mountains and the sea, Li Fan suddenly clarified a doubt that had been in his mind for a long time.
Why would Shanhai accept to "divide" the God-Swallowing when it is so tempting?
Everyone has the desire to be exclusive.
Even if it was a treasure from a secular cultivation, one would instinctively want to monopolize it. How much more so the power of a true God?
"It's not that I don't want to, it's that I can't."
"If it were a mountain or an ocean, and either of them tried to swallow God in its entirety, their fate would be the same as mine now."
"Instead, it will become the material for the revival of the True God."
“Only when the two come to terms with each other, and the mountains and the seas rely on each other, can they resist the might of the gods together.”
Li Fan understood.
Mountains and seas still have each other as companions, but when Li Fan came here, he was destined to be alone.
Fortunately, his original goal was not to devour gods.
But to observe the mystery of the fall of gods!
"In the current situation, although we still cannot see the complete body of God, it is barely enough."
The urging from the huge dark clouds is like the water in a dammed lake, accumulating more and more.
Gradually change from urging to urging.
Li Fan knew that he didn't have much time left, so he calmed down and observed.
"I hope this relatively intact body will leave some clues."
Among all the divine bodies that Li Fan devoured, there was no clue as to how the gods fell.
There isn't even any memory.
They are all pure principles of Tao and law.
The cornerstone of the structure of all things and the fundamental principle of existence.
Li Fan, who came back to his senses, was also impressed by himself for being able to swallow such a large "stone".
Such hard work is certainly not in vain.
The divine body is shrouded in dark clouds, vast and endless.
But now Li Fan can wipe it all out with just one thought.
There is only a fine line between becoming a god. Li Fan's observation can be said to be the soul of the deceased leaving the body and observing his own corpse.
Trying to find clues to his own death.
Observed for the first time.
"All paths and all dharmas are perfect and flawless, without the slightest damage or abnormality."
Li Fan pondered and scanned it again with his mind.
The conclusion remains the same.
"Anything that can cause a god to fall must be earth-shattering. I don't find it strange to see a huge scar. Why is it so normal now?"
Li Fan found it a little difficult to understand.
"Could it be that only by becoming a god can one know the cause of the gods' demise?"
But it was obvious that if Li Fan really took this step, even Zhen Zhen would not be able to save him.
"The true and false road, as long as [God] has not really appeared, it can be reversed again and again."
"But if I return to God..."
"The true and false avenues have also entered the divine realm. Naturally, there is no way to repeat the same thing again."
Li Fan was very clear about this in his mind, so as soon as the thought of becoming a god arose, he ruthlessly suppressed it.
I would rather live forever in the cycle of destruction and reincarnation to maintain my own independent will.
I also absolutely do not want to become a so-called god and lose myself.
Li Fan did not give up and continued to observe the divine body over and over again.
And God's instinct of revival is becoming increasingly difficult to stop.
The huge dark clouds gradually got out of control.
Li Fan felt that as he had not moved for a long time, his body was gradually developing a sense of rejection.
Or, to be more precise, it was the barrier lake formed by the instinctive drive, which was about to break through the rock blockade and recover on its own.
Li Fan, who stands in the way of this surging trend, will be crushed to pieces by this majestic divine power.
"Before the true god is revived, it must be true again. Otherwise, there will be no recovery..."
Li Fan finally made a decision.
Although he was unable to glimpse the mystery of the true God's fall this time, by devouring the body, he knew everything about the world and everything.
If he completely digested what he had learned, Li Fan's understanding of the true and false path might surpass his previous self and reach an incredible level.
At that time, nothing can be recreated except God himself.
Everything that happens between mountains and seas depends on Li Fan’s thoughts.
"This is enough to harvest."
"Let's digest it for a while, and then come back to take a look!"
Thinking of this, Li Fan was about to return to the truth.
But in an instant, he saw the dark clouds of the True God stirring more and more, and his heart suddenly moved.
“Only the true God can see the mystery of the God’s fall.”
"In this case, do not hinder the resurrection of God."
"The change of truth and falsehood is in my hands. God is no longer a god. There is a moment of opportunity..."
Li Fan's eyes flashed, and he finally made a plan.
The will rose up, no longer blocking the way. The will to revive was like a rushing flood, spreading across the dark clouds in an instant.
A moment later...
Li Fan felt that the endless dark clouds disappeared from his sight.
After a moment's pause, he reacted and looked up.
In the endless darkness and nothingness, a star seemed to light up.
Like a one-eyed god, he descended into the world.
The starlight spread everywhere, spreading faster than the return of all things to God at the end of the mountains and seas.
Everything Li Fan saw and felt was filled with starlight.
And then, really, I felt the power of returning from above my head.
The great way of truth and falsehood originally came from God, and now it should return to God.
Having experienced similar scenes before, Li Fan remained calm although shocked.
Rely on your thoughts and hold on.
Staring closely, his true appearance was finally revealed.
At the same time, compare it with the fallen divine body he had seen before.
Time seemed to freeze at this moment.
Li Fan ignored his own safety and just wanted to find an answer.
The starlight became more and more dazzling.
Filling everything.
And at this moment, the starry light all disappeared in an instant.
The world fell into darkness and silence again.
Li Fan almost thought that this was an illusion caused by the starlight bursting to its extreme.
But soon, he realized something was wrong.
In the darkness, it seemed as if a huge invisible existence was standing quietly in front of him.
If Li Fan had just reached the state of distraction in this life, he would definitely not be able to see the true face of God.
But after countless years of accumulating experience in Devouring Gods, it was enough for him to witness the scene before him.
The true God, sitting on the ground.
The perfect body becomes imperfect because of a small hole between the eyebrows.
…
The true God is invisible and formless, so naturally there is no such thing as eyebrows or sitting position.
It’s just that Li Fan applied his own cognition to God.
Trying to understand and explain everything that happened to the fallen true god.
Then he saw that the god, who was supposed to be high above and looking down on all living beings, could only sit on the ground for some reason.
Then he saw that the god's body, which should have been flawless, actually had a hole between its brows.
He sat on the ground because he was seriously injured.
The reason why he was seriously injured and on the verge of death was because of the point between his eyebrows.
"Is this the mystery of the God's fall that I have been searching for?"
Li Fan stared at that point, as if possessed.
For some reason, he felt a sense of familiarity from this.
Boom boom boom…
There was a huge noise.
The true god was sitting on the ground, seemingly trying to stand up again.
Like a gust of strong wind blowing by, the difference between truth and falsehood is shaky.
You must fly uncontrollably to the sky, where the true God is.
“It’s… true!”
Li Fan took one last look, wanting to engrave that inexplicable point deeply in his mind.
