Chapter 1734 A History of a Hundred Billion Years
Lianshan, a civilization of mountains and sea.
Returning to the sea, the creatures of mountains and seas.
Taiyi is the great way of mountains and seas.
The Three Saints can roughly represent the mountains and seas themselves.
Under Li Fan's guidance, the three saints immersed all the saints within the Xuanji Ring into their own long memories.
It did not originate from the time when the spirits of the mountains and seas were separated.
Rather, it began when the primordial immortal realm disintegrated and the mountains and seas gradually merged.
Because it is an experiential memory, it does not differentiate into a real, existing individual.
All the saints gathered together like green dots of light.
What the three saints saw and heard was displayed like three screens of light before all the saints.
They were merely “watching”, yet the three saints, with their unfathomable power, imbued them with the feeling of being “on the scene.”
It's almost identical to my own personal experience.
Through the eyes of the Three Sages, they glimpsed a corner of the true Primordial Immortal Realm. What was once an empty concept was now gradually becoming concrete and clear.
The Primordial Immortal Realm was born and evolved after the division of the Mountain and Sea into gods, at the time of the initial creation of the Mountain and Sea.
Perhaps it was because the True God was boundless, and the mountains and seas could not consume and devour it all. Or perhaps, even when the True God perished, the mountains and seas did not obtain it all.
In short, within the Primordial Immortal Realm, there are many naturally born and nurtured wondrous beings, some even feeding on the Dao. These creatures contend with each other, while others covet the wonders that can devour mountains and seas.
All things compete, and life flourishes.
No boundaries, no constraints, no taboos.
Who dies and who lives, who survives and who perishes.
Everyone relied on their own abilities.
The Primordial Immortal Realm existed for an unknown period of time. But even mountains and seas cannot last forever, and today it finally met its end.
Countless tiny black voids appeared in every corner of the Primordial Immortal Realm.
Like a terrifying vortex, it devoured everything around it.
The fundamental principles that formed the primordial immortal realm vanished in an instant.
All living things ran around trying to survive, no longer caring about fighting.
Green lights flickered continuously, and the thoughts of the saints intertwined.
"The Primordial Immortal Realm, what a magnificent and awe-inspiring existence it was, nurturing the Great Dao and countless living beings. Yet, unexpectedly, it crumbled and disintegrated overnight amidst the merging of mountains and seas!"
"No matter how extraordinary it may be, it is merely an experiment by the mountains and seas. Once the mountains and seas realize their destiny is to merge, they will naturally be abandoned."
"A thought arises from mountains and seas, and is extinguished by the same thought..."
"I never expected that the three saints would feel fear in their hearts."
"This scene is very similar to the struggles we faced before Dao Annihilation descended. We have experienced everything, but we never imagined that our predecessors had already experienced it billions of years ago. In this light, the mountains and seas seem to be a giant cycle."
……
The Primordial Immortal Realm crumbled like a storm, mercilessly sweeping away the remaining life within. Even the mighty Three Sages were like ants in the wind, at the mercy of the tempest. They were utterly powerless against this overwhelming force of mountains and seas, and could only desperately flap their wings to survive.
The saints who were just in the mood to discuss things with each other have now been caught in the storm of the collapsing mountains and seas as time goes by, and have slowly lost the ability to speak.
Only then did they realize how fortunate they were to have the protection of the Immortal Realm.
It is similar to the calamity that annihilates everything, but in essence it is different.
This storm is a way for the mountains and seas to make the best use of their resources and eliminate dissidents.
All that once came from God, which they had not previously absorbed, must now be completely taken back.
There is nothing else besides mountains and seas.
There is no one who transcends, no one who reigns above mountains and seas.
To survive a storm, one must become part of the mountains and seas.
The storm lasted for tens of millions of years before it finally subsided.
If it weren't merely through observing the memories of the three sages, but through personal experience, perhaps only one in ten of the sages would have survived this calamity.
As if having absorbed all the essence from the gods, the mountains and seas finally revealed their shapes.
The boundless sea breeds all possibilities.
There is no concept of time; the twinkling stars, the cycle of birth and death, all constantly evolve and dissipate within it.
The majestic Mount Shangfang stands tall, formless yet representing eternal energy and a cornerstone. Like a pillar, it is because of the existence of Mount Shangfang that the infinite possibilities of the boundless sea can continue.
Mountains and seas are interdependent. They seem independent of each other, yet they depend on each other for survival.
"Gentlemen, this initial mountain and sea... seems quite different from what we will see later?"
"The mountains and seas of later generations, the so-called infinite possibilities, still exist within the limitations of the long river of time, like countless great rivers flowing side by side. But at this moment, the mountains and seas..."
"The possibilities are like ripples and waves that occasionally appear in a calm pond. They appear and disappear, but they do not affect the infinite sea itself. Compared to the mountains and seas of the present world, the original state of the mountains and seas was undoubtedly more stable. Why force them to merge?" This question arose in the minds of the sages.
However, only bystanders can perceive their inner thoughts. The beings truly involved are now focused on only one thing.
That means survival!
Compared to the once carefree paradise, the rules of the mountains and seas after their formation are extremely strict.
It was even somewhat cruel.
No matter how strong one is, nothing lasts forever. Like countless possibilities constantly evolving, being born, and dying within the boundless sea, their fate is beyond their control.
Even though they once reigned supreme in the Primordial Immortal Realm, they can only silently perish now.
The new rules of the mountains and seas were incredibly cruel to the creatures of the past. Yet, they forged a new and sufficiently stable order.
The birth and demise of possibilities seem to follow some unpredictable law. Though the pond is dotted with starlight, the water remains as still as ever.
The mountain above is like a pillar by a pond.
Mountains and sea depend on each other, in balance and harmony.
Most of their former companions have perished. The Three Saints are now in hiding in the mountains and seas, or have already returned to the mountains and seas, or are waiting for their chance.
In its early stages, the mountains and seas were exceptionally calm.
The possibilities for its evolution are also extremely simple.
There are not even any living beings in the strict sense, only life forms such as algae.
However, the light spots flickered differently in the boundless sea.
The possible evolutionary forms have also gradually become more diverse.
Among the possibilities, intelligent life began to emerge.
The three saints, who were struggling to survive under the harsh rules of the mountains and seas, took the opportunity to escape into them in order to catch their breath.
Compared to the newly born, ignorant beings, the three saints from the Primordial Immortal Realm are no different from true "saints".
However, the three saints did not attempt to intervene; they simply observed silently.
When he realized the possibility was about to disappear, he withdrew in time and sought survival in the boundless sea.
An unknown amount of time passed in this way.
If nothing unexpected happens, the mountains and seas may remain peaceful forever.
On this day, the boundless sea suddenly began to boil and surge without warning.
The starry sky was like a bright mirror, seemingly reflecting the scenery beyond the mountains and seas.
The three saints looked up, hoping to take the opportunity to spy.
Even from just a few fragmented images, I instantly understood why the mountains and seas were in turmoil!
After the mountains and seas swallowed the gods, they wanted to maintain an "eternal" state where time did not pass.
Without beginning or end, it can naturally exist forever.
It seems that it has indeed succeeded.
but……
At this moment, beyond the mountains and seas, time still flows quietly on!
Without Shan Hai's prior knowledge!
It was as if, from beginning to end, there was a pair of eyes coldly watching them.
