Chapter 1776 Divine Taste
Mountains and seas crumble, and then return to the stars. This is fate, the final outcome.
Even if all the saints work together, they can only reverse the situation temporarily.
But what the Chengshenkes wanted was just to delay it as long as possible.
In addition to creating enough time for the eternal void world to breed true and false Dao marks, they also have to find a fundamental way to resist the end of returning to the gods.
Although a lifetime of mountains and seas is long, it still seems not enough.
From the beginning of mountains and seas to the end of time, it lasted a total of 160 billion years.
The number of mountain and sea fragments broken off by Daoyan's attack is also in the millions.
The mountains and seas in the Avengers are all huge projects that require the concerted efforts of many saints to complete.
But what originally seemed out of reach is progressing unexpectedly fast.
Countless clones of Zhang Fan, with their true spirits infused with magical powers, solved the supply problem for the saints in the virtual world.
Cheng Shenke and the other saints of Taichu are in charge of the overall situation.
The broken mountains and seas that had been broken for 100 billion years were slowly repaired bit by bit.
Even the saints who participated in the whole process still find it incredible when they look back.
"I used to scoff at the idea of a Shanhai reunion. Now it seems like it's not that difficult!"
"All the saints united and put aside all conflicts. This is a nearly impossible thing. I am curious about what those gods are planning together."
"Forget it, don't think about it. It will only add to my worries. I've been tired for too long. After the Avengers is completed, I want to have a good rest."
"Almost there, almost there."
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the last rift in the mountain and sea was repaired. As the saints finally felt liberated, a faint sense of confusion suddenly emerged in their hearts.
For a long time, they have always aimed to reunite the mountains and seas. It has almost become a habit and instinct.
Now that the project is finally completed, the saints seem lost and at a loss for a moment.
The Chengshenkes fulfilled their promise.
The fatal knife above his head gradually disappeared, and the threat was no longer there.
But the gods seemed to have evaporated from the mountains and seas, and disappeared without a trace.
Some of the saints lost interest and sought seclusion in the quiet mountains and seas, while others, yearning for the power and prestige of becoming gods, craved it and once again journeyed to the Primordial Realm.
Some, in the process of reunion, are used to spending time with the creatures of the mountains and seas. They transform into mortals and hide among the creatures.
The eternal world is no longer nothingness.
Instead, there is a magnificent and sacred temple standing in the center of the world.
The palace is boundless and seems to be a world of its own.
In the endless vast space, all kinds of avenues are lined up.
The gods looked at the hall and nodded frequently.
"The paths of the mountain and sea saints are all included in it."
"The current intact state of the mountains and seas should last for hundreds of billions of years. After hundreds of billions of years, the Dao will rise again, and the mountains and seas will be shattered again." Pozhenzi said slowly, as if he saw the dark waves outside the mountains and seas that were temporarily forced back.
Zhang Fan continued, "When the time comes, I will use the transformation of truth and falsehood to wipe out all the saints. Then, I will use this avenue hall to rebuild a group of mountain and sea saints. In this way, we can start another round of mountain and sea reunion."
Xuanyuan Hong sighed softly, "After all, I promised them. If we force them to retreat again, a fight is inevitable. Although it's a convenient thing to do, I'm afraid that they won't be as hardworking as they were the first time they reunite with the mountains and seas."
“It’s better to just recreate it with the real one.”
All the deities had no objection, and it was obvious that they all thought so.
After countless years of understanding the truth and falsehood, their way of thinking has subtly changed without them realizing it.
They themselves may have realized it at some point, but after mastering the truth and falsehood, it is indeed difficult for them to regard other people and things as equals.
Moreover, most of the energy of the group of gods is still focused on dealing with the final stage of returning to the gods.
I don't care much about other details.
"Two-thirds of the true and false Dao marks have been conceived."
"But the further we go, the slower the evolution. It might still take three times as long for it to fully take shape."
"It's okay, it's just three more reincarnations. We have already mastered the origins of all saints. With the true and false avenues, we can create a new batch of saints at any time to reunite. The only thing we need to worry about is the mountain and sea itself."
The endless images of mountains and seas suddenly appeared before the gods.
Avengers Mountains and Seas, the footprints of the saints are all over every corner of the mountains and seas.
The saints are their eyes.
As the true creators of the mountains and seas today, almost every inch of the mountains and seas is under the control of the gods present.
"It is destiny that the mountains and seas return to the gods. It is an irresistible destiny."
"Though we have used our might to reverse the situation, each time a new life is destroyed, it will only become more powerful."
“Even doubling each time.”
"Until... the Dao appears, and the mountains and seas disappear in an instant."
"No longer give us the chance to slowly reconnect."
"So, the time left for us is really not much."
Under Cheng Shenke's gaze, the images of mountains and seas underwent many changes.
Afterwards, a lone star hung high in the sky, towering over the mountains and the sea.
"Fellow Daoist Fan, how are your preparations going?"
"I have long been aware of the existing great ways of Shanhai. I can replace Shanhai at any time and become the new god. The stars transformed by Shanhai behind the scenes are by no means my opponents. The only thing I have to worry about is the gods." Zhang Fan said lightly.
“Therefore, we still need to wait for the true and false Dao Mark to be born.”
Upon hearing this, the Chengshenkes all nodded slightly.
Over the years, as Zhang Fan's strength has grown, he has gradually broken away from "being of one mind and one purpose".
Even though Zhang Fan intended to share with a group of people who had become gods, as he was getting closer and closer to becoming a god, he would often inadvertently disappear among the people who were of the same mind.
Therefore, there is something unfinished in Zhang Fan's words.
Theoretically speaking, the higher the strength and the more sufficient the accumulated preparation, the greater the confidence in killing the gods should be.
But the actual situation is just the opposite.
Zhang Fan didn't know how many times he had deduced what would happen to him after the star was destroyed.
But the results are all "nothing".
No win, no lose.
It was as if after completing the task of destroying the star, he disappeared out of thin air.
Such a strange result made Zhang Fan very confused.
Now, he can be said to be the closest being to God in the entire mountains and seas.
Therefore, we understand more clearly the power of God.
"It's not enough."
Zhang Fan felt a momentary sense of powerlessness in his heart, but he quickly suppressed it.
Over the years, he has begun to understand why his original body had created a clone and sought a way to break the impasse.
It's really a case of exhausting everything and gaining nothing.
"But he and I are different."
Zhang Fan suppressed all distracting thoughts.
"What he can't do, I may be able to do!"
"Kill the God..."
Zhang Fan's eyes swept across the virtual image of the mountains and sea, and it was as if he had witnessed the real mountains and sea. He made a decision in his heart.
…
Just as the Chengshenkes expected.
After stabilizing for billions of years, Daoyan strikes again.
Mountains and seas were broken, and the saints were shocked beyond words.
Looking at this familiar scene, memories of the past came flooding back.
"Could it be that they're going to take us back to Avenge the Mountains and Seas?"
"Damn it! I'd rather die than obey you this time!"
"Hmph! Although the Chengshenkes are strong, we are not without the strength to strike back. If they continue to press us, then..."
While the saints were still hesitating, Zhang Fan's thoughts had already covered all the mountains and seas.
"It's really fake."
It was just a casual remark, without any emotion mixed in.
A moment later, the existence of the saints was erased.
Not even a ripple arose.
"Fellow Daoist Fan's understanding of the great way of truth and falsehood has become increasingly profound." The Lord of Death praised.
The mountains and seas suddenly lost their sacredness, like a cargo ship that had lost its load. Under the pounding of the waves, Daoyan instantly became unstable.
The next moment it seemed that it would be engulfed by the wind and clouds.
"Fake is also true!"
Zhang Fan's cold voice echoed across the mountains and seas again.
then……
One after another, figures appear in various places in the mountains and seas.
Including the Taichu Immortal Realm.
Just like before.
These created saints seem to be unaware of everything.
Still immersed in the memory of the past.
"Let's go, just catch it again."
The Death Slayer sighed.
The fisherman was not as excited as he was the first time, but just followed silently.
Soon, the Shanhai Reunion Project started again.
However, except for Zhang Fan and Cheng Shenke, the other saints did not know that this was their second time of hard work.
"Mountains and seas, the great road, truth and falsehood..."
However, Zhang Fan, who had accomplished a great feat, did not feel it was difficult at all.
I just feel the inexplicable feeling that arises in my heart.
Saint, the pinnacle of all living things in the mountains and seas.
However, he can be destroyed with a single thought and shaped with a single thought.
Not to mention anything else?
"Is this... God?"
A strange color flashed in Zhang Fan's eyes.
From then on, Zhang Fan became more and more taciturn.
He seemed to be immersed in his meditation in seclusion, and would only report the general progress to the Chengshen guests from time to time.
Shanhai soon experienced a second reincarnation.
The reunion was successful, and there was a period of peace, but then it was shattered again.
This time, the mountains and seas existed intact for five billion years.
"What a lie!"
"Fake is also true!"
The gods then resumed their work.
A new cycle begins again.
But this time, their hearts gradually became numb.
No emotion, just mechanical repetition.
…
In this way, the mountains and seas have gone through reincarnation again and again.
And Dao Yan’s counterattack became more and more intense with each attack.
The final limit of the Tao disappearing and the mountains and seas submerging as deduced by Cheng Shen Ke is about to come.
In the world of eternal nothingness.
"It's only the last bit missing, why can't [true and false] be conceived?"
The Chengshenkes no longer had their usual calmness on their faces.
The true and false Daohen had almost been born a long time ago.
But for some reason, it seemed to be stuck and there was no movement.
Even after three cycles of mountains and seas, there has been no progress at all.
This made the Chengshenkes suspicious.
Can their plan really succeed?
"Fellow Daoist Fan, how should we decide?" asked the Master of Death.
Judging from his tone and expression, he seemed a little cautious.
Zhang Fan was not here, but the Lord of Death knew that as long as his name was mentioned, Zhang Fan would definitely know it.
Over the years, Zhang Fan's aura has become more and more ethereal.
Just like the elusive truth and falsehood, it exists in reality yet is not apparent in the world.
Unity of purpose has become meaningless.
Zhang Fan's shadow was still there, but they could no longer sense any thoughts from it.
A moment later, Zhang Fan's voice rang out in everyone's heart.
"We have done everything we can. The true and false Dao marks are still not revealed..."
"This world is said to be eternal nothingness, existing independently. In reality, it still has some weak connection with the mountains and seas, originating from the false universe. If you want to truly give birth to truth and falsehood, you must sever all ties with the outside world and exile it beyond the mountains and seas."
“There may be a glimmer of hope.”
The Chengshenkes naturally knew what Zhang Fan meant.
After a moment's silence, as if relieved, he said, "We'll do our best and leave the rest to fate. We've done enough."
"Good." Zhang Fan responded with just one word.
The next moment, in the eternal world, the bodies of a group of divine guests instantly turned into thousands of light points.
Like ashes, floating into the air.
All gathered towards one place.
Then, the entire mountain and sea became the same.
It was as if an invisible fire had fallen, silently burning everything between the mountains and the sea.
No pain, no feeling.
In the silence, the mountains and seas disappear, all living things are annihilated, and the saints are gone.
All the ashes and light points have gathered in one place.
It was Zhang Fan.
He now fully understood what his original intention was.
Preserving the mountains and seas while facing the true God is pure nonsense.
"Only by returning everything to its roots can there be..."
"A ray of hope."
A hint of hesitation flashed through Zhang Fan's mind.
To be honest, until now, he has not seen the possibility of defeating the true God.
But the arrow is already on the string and has to be shot.
All the mountains and seas were swallowed up by Zhang Fan.
Xujie, who didn't get anything at all, was immediately furious.
He completely failed to live up to the mission assigned by [Xing], and an endless wave of annihilation rolled towards Zhang Fan.
But for some reason, after a while, Daoyan also became chaotic.
It seems that the virtual world itself is actually looking forward to this scene.
Zhang Fan naturally knew the reason.
"Sun Piaomiao..."
"I'll help you get rid of it."
"After all, it was once a part of the mountains and seas and cannot be lost."
The nothingness of the virtual world is like a dwarf compared to [truth and falsehood].
Wherever the thought reaches, it is wiped out.
Or in other words, return to the mortal world.
The mountains, seas, and virtual worlds all disappeared, and the stage that had been built collapsed.
The behind-the-scenes then emerged.
In just a moment, endless starlight filled the world.
In this familiar scene, Zhang Fan felt endless anger coming from above his head.
Under the shining starlight, the avenues of truth and falsehood trembled.
But Zhang Fan just snorted coldly: "You little coward, you dare to compete with me for glory?"
Faced with the starlight, Zhang Fan did not hide or avoid it at all.
The body expands infinitely, taking in all the starlight.
In the starlight, he felt countless chaotic and crazy thoughts.
And an immeasurable amount of broken images.
These pictures have no practical meaning, they only represent the past of the mountains and seas, or perhaps this world, in the endless cycle of reincarnation.
But each painting does bear the weight of mountains and seas.
The moment they come into contact, there seems to be a collision.
Zhang Fan sat alone, looking up.
I felt as if all the stars in the universe were falling towards me.
If it was Zhang Fan who had just attacked his original body, he would definitely not be able to withstand such a terrifying attack.
But having experienced many reincarnations of mountains and seas and swallowed up everything, he can now bear it all calmly.
"As I said, the so-called [Star] is no match for me."
"The only one who cares is God."
The stars in the sky gradually dimmed.
Zhang Fan silently waited for the last moment to come.
