Chapter 1750 Li Fan's God-Making Story
How does one become a god?
This question, unless one in the Primordial Immortal Realm personally participated in that fierce battle, may never receive a definitive answer.
Li Fan could only try to figure things out by observing the different results caused by different variables.
"It seems that besides the serious injury to the lock, there may be other factors."
Li Fan waited for a long time, but still did not hear the Three Saints say, "The time has come to divide your spirit."
Without choosing to waste any more time, Li Fan decisively reset the process.
We still choose to keep the [Dao Yi Shan Hai Tu], which is just one step away from completion.
After suspending his actions, Li Fan first carefully reviewed all the details of the time when the new god descended.
"Could it be that, besides being severely injured, the fact that the Sages infiltrated his mind to fight him was also a key factor?"
"If the cause cannot be determined, then try to restore all variables as much as possible."
With this in mind, Li Fan summoned dozens of Holy Spirits from the mountains and seas.
Used as chess pieces.
Previously, those who entered the Sovereign Network to compete with the Saints were, in order: Stealing Machine, Hundred Knowledges, Square Inch, and Taiwei. Li Fan came last.
The first three have already left their mark in the Great Dao Returns to Truth, so it should not be difficult to replicate them and achieve the same effect.
"The key lies with the Taiwei Holy Emperor. Ordinary beings find it difficult to cultivate the noble aura of an emperor."
Li Fan's gaze swept over the chosen lucky individuals, selecting the most suitable vessel. Then, he gently blew on it.
The creature was initially in a daze, but gradually, its temperament and expression underwent subtle changes.
The creatures gathered around him seemed to sense something, instinctively distancing themselves and daring not to approach. What Li Fan had infused into him was not merely a phantom memory, but more importantly, the mindset of an emperor.
Li Fan observed for a moment, but was still not satisfied and shook his head slightly.
"Though he possesses the divine qualities of a Holy Emperor, he lacks the substance of one. It's not enough!"
In the lifetime of the new god's birth, the Holy Emperor comprehended the Great Dao of Living Beings and used his own differentiated power to infiltrate the net, consuming almost negligible amounts of energy.
Therefore, if Li Fan wants to perfectly replicate the conditions for the birth of a new god, he must also create a Saint Emperor with almost equal strength.
"My understanding of the transformation between truth and falsehood is still insufficient to create a saint in a single thought. However..."
"But it can transform my cultivation!"
"The Way of the Universe, Fading Away!"
A rather bizarre scene unfolded: Li Fan's skin suddenly began to writhe on its own, as if some external force was grabbing it and tearing it apart.
Slowly, a figure faded from Li Fan's body.
It has no face or form, and is ever-changing.
Yet it exuded a vast aura belonging to the realm of saints.
But Li Fan had already returned to the realm of mortals!
Compared to saints, mortals are like ants in a vast ocean. Under normal circumstances, if someone were to act like Li Fan, they would inevitably lose control of the saint's cloak the moment they shed their cultivation.
But Li Fan was different.
His strength is largely based on the ability to manipulate reality and illusion. Even though Li Fan is merely a mortal, he can still suppress the Saint's cloak.
Furthermore, the Great Dao of Cosmic Reincarnation has already been inscribed in the Hall of the Great Dao Returning to Truth. These two factors combined make it even more impossible for him to escape Li Fan's control.
"Now is not the time to make a move. I will wait until I have cultivated to the level of a saint."
For his second cultivation journey, Li Fan chose the Path of the Mysterious Female.
Li Fan's understanding of the Great Dao of the Universe was, after all, based on the inscription left on the Boundless Mountain and Sea Monument. His comprehension of the Great Dao of the Mysterious Female was naturally not as profound.
However, it only took Li Fan four hundred years to become a saint again.
He started over again and again, repeatedly proving his path. For other cultivators, the path to sainthood was unattainable, as difficult as ascending to heaven. But for Li Fan, it had gradually become as simple as eating and drinking.
"In the future, the creation of saints will be within my control."
With a heart full of pride, the Mysterious Female Saint Li Fan, wrapped in the [Cosmic Return] cloak, headed towards the mountains and seas sealed off by the rope net.
The illusion and reality still paved the way, silently infiltrating.
Then, in turn, the forged "Stealing Machine," "Knowledgeable One," and "Square Inch" were released.
The net underwent corresponding changes, which, while not entirely identical to those of the time when the new gods descended, generally followed the same trajectory.
"Next, it's your turn."
Li Fan looked at the illusory image of the "Holy Emperor" in his hand, smiled slightly, and draped the Cosmic Return Robe over it.
While being bestowed with sainthood, Li Fan also began vying for ownership of the Great Dao of Time Reincarnation within the Hall of the Great Dao Returning to Truth.
How can an unclaimed garment compete with Li Fan?
The Great Path of Cosmic Reincarnation has vanished.
That outer garment also quickly fell from the Saint realm, possessing only accumulated profound cultivation but lacking the Saintly status.
This corresponds precisely to the Holy Emperor's behavior when he crossed the net.
The actions of the "Holy Emperor," who had been trained by Li Fan, had already been predetermined.
He dispersed his cultivation, built an immortal legion, and forced Suo to appear and change the rules.
After the creation of the "Holy Emperor" vanished into thin air, Li Fan then made his grand entrance.
"Huh? You..."
Even though Li Fan hid it well, Suo instinctively sensed that something was wrong.
A sense of crisis suddenly arose in my heart.
"How could a mere ant from a future generation cause me such unease?"
Suo was filled with doubt and uncertainty, but after all, He was one of the first saints of the mountains and seas, an ancient being who was able to survive in the harsh environment of the Primordial Immortal Realm.
It was impossible for him to be scared away by Li Fan directly.
Another rehearsal.
The ending is self-evident.
Li Fan showed no mercy, using the opportunity to steal another sum of money.
A chilling and eerie feeling began to grow in his heart, and the unease that had been deliberately suppressed by Suo earlier was suddenly magnified a thousandfold.
"The trap was clearly planned in advance, with each step meticulously linked to the next."
"Who exactly is plotting against me?!"
Su roared inwardly. For some reason, this scene gave him a sense of déjà vu.
Once a thought arises, it cannot be erased. What began as an insignificant snowflake can transform into a devastating avalanche in an instant.
Anxiety turns into fear.
In a daze, So even saw the scene of his own tragic death!
"Am I going to die?"
"I will die!"
The shock was inexplicable, and his heart was filled with bewilderment, shock, and fear. He could no longer care about anything else and fled in a disheveled state.
"Did they fleece you again this time?"
Li Fan keenly sensed the subtle change in Suo at the last moment, his expression inscrutable.
Its form faded, disappearing before the rope net completely dissipated.
The net mysteriously disappeared, leaving the saints of the mountains and seas puzzled. But they could not find a reason and could only attribute it to the changes that occurred at the beginning of the mountains and seas.
Li Fan lay low, patiently awaiting the outcome.
The appointed time has arrived, yet there is still no sign of divine intervention.
"Failed again?" Li Fan frowned.
Just as he was about to try again, a thought suddenly struck him.
"Although Suo vaguely sensed it and became more cautious, he ultimately could not make up for the fact that his essence had been damaged."
"Damn it, he's going to die."
"It just means I can survive a little longer."
His gaze seemed to pierce through countless mountains and seas, through the barriers of the ethereal realm, reaching straight to the beginning of time. Li Fan seemed to understand something.
Then they went into hiding again, waiting for signs of the arrival of a new god.
This time, Li Fan was not disappointed.
That ethereal feeling, as if suddenly falling from the heavens, came crashing down upon me.
Amidst the myriad mountains and seas, the three saints suddenly rose.
He looked up and gazed at the beginning of time, his expression extremely solemn.
With the words "The time has come to divide our minds," the three saints committed suicide, and their power converged towards the Primordial Immortal Realm.
Only the remaining saints, bewildered and lost, and the mountains and seas in utter chaos, were left behind.
"After a long wait, this moment has finally arrived!"
Taking advantage of the turmoil in the Mountain and Sea Void Realm, Li Fan casually tossed out millions of living beings.
They were all "lucky ones" he had gathered by going against the tide.
It was infused into the veins of all living things in the mountains and seas.
"The Way is extinguished, return!"
Amidst the mountains and seas, overflowing with starlight, Li Fan pointed towards the vast void.
Originally in a state of leaderlessness, they suddenly transformed into a group of ferocious beasts attracted by the scent of their prey, thanks to Li Fan's guidance.
Roaring and surging, it charged in unstoppable!
Mountains and seas, vanished in an instant.
All living beings perished, and most of the saints scattered and fled.
Only Shouqiu is still trying his best to stop it.
However, without Li Fan's unity and the support of the true and false transformation, Shouqiu was only an ordinary Saint. Faced with such a calamity, his best efforts would be nothing more than a drop in the ocean.
Li Fan ignored them and kept his eyes fixed on Shan Hai.
"Whether the efforts of three generations can be successfully completed depends on this moment."
The mountains and seas, invaded by Dao Yan's massive force, also unleashed astonishing potential. The roaring sounds emanating from within the mountains and seas temporarily forced back the torrent of Dao Yan.
then……
The exact same scene unfolded in the lifetime when the new god descended.
Everything else within the mountains and seas was utterly destroyed.
Only the pure mountains and seas themselves remain.
The mountain and sea stone slabs have reappeared in the world!
Furthermore, because Li Fan in this life has triggered a scale of Dao Annihilation far exceeding that of the past, the destruction of mountains and seas is exceptionally rapid as it invades along the veins of living beings. This has resulted in the petrification of mountains and seas not being limited to the current area.
Instead, it stretches across a total of thirty-six mountain and sea sections, spanning approximately 25 million years!
Even on a scale of hundreds of billions of years, this is no longer a drop in the ocean.
Rather, it's like forcibly cutting a piece of flesh off your body.
Countless lives were lost in this tragedy.
As for Li Fan, the instigator, he remained calm and even quipped, "A brave man cuts off his own arm, I admire you!"
"However, this is exactly what I need!"
The mountain and sea stone slabs, which have been continuous for 25 million years, are far more detailed than anything Li Fan had ever seen before.
The boundless expanse of mountains and seas seems to have been given a concrete expression.
Even those who merely observe from the virtual realm are already showing signs of being absorbed and corrupted by it.
Like a high dike, it stands before the Void Realm's Dao Annihilation. The waves surge, but it is difficult to stir up any more storms in the short term.
Li Fan no longer stopped himself from falling towards the mountain and sea stone slab.
He even used this power to extend his divine sense, spreading it to every corner of the mountain and sea stone slabs.
Every fine line is clearly visible.
Li Fan was completely absorbed in it, his heart filled with longing.
Compared to the "Outline of Changes in Mountains and Seas" which records all the data about mountains and seas, this stone slab, which evolved from the mountains and seas themselves, is more detailed and specific.
"One can know the whole from one. But with the boundless and infinite nature of mountains and seas, the whole only needs one to see the whole, which is enough to make it vast and boundless."
Li Fan compared the patterns on the stone slab with those recorded in the Outline of Changes, and also verified them with what he had written in the Dao Yi Mountain and Sea Map.
New insights are emerging in my mind.
It seems that the stroke that had been delayed for so long can finally be made.
"but……"
"It seems like something's still missing."
Li Fan pondered, his divine sense continuing to roam freely among the mountain and sea stone slabs.
Suddenly, at some insignificant "point", it paused.
"This is……"
Everything was destroyed, except for the stone slab where the mountains and seas themselves existed, where there were still "external objects".
Like an ink droplet falling on a stone slab, it stands out from everything around it.
Yet they also seem to complement each other, creating a harmonious balance.
This is also why Li Fan's divine sense had swept across the area earlier without detecting anything unusual.
Li Fan was also familiar with this external object.
This is truly a monument to the boundless mountains and seas!
Even if mountains and seas turn to stone, He will still be here.
"Mountains and seas have no boundaries, and remain unchanged since ancient times. Life and death, existence and extinction, are all predetermined in this way."
The divine thought rapidly contracted from the two hundred million years of mountains and seas, returned to its human form, and entered the Boundless Monument.
The story of reincarnation, based on his own understanding of the Great Dao of the Universe, leaves a mark upon it.
The divine sense then attached itself to it.
"Fortunately, I didn't find any traces of what I left on this Boundless Mountain and Sea Monument. Otherwise, I would have been quite frightened."
"This 'Boundless Mountains and Seas' monument is the final touch that completes my masterpiece."
As Li Fan observed the faint traces on the Boundless Monument, a realization dawned on him.
"Mountains are mountains, and seas are seas. Even if they share a common focus, they are ultimately two separate entities. They depend on each other but do not interfere with one another."
"And ever since this Boundless Mountain and Sea Monument was erected..."
"Only when mountains and seas are combined can they be called 'mountains and seas'."
Li Fan's eyes gradually brightened. After figuring everything out, he felt extremely relieved and burst into laughter.
However, the laughter was quickly interrupted by a roaring sound from the outside.
"This is……"
"The torrent of returning gods?"
Li Fan's expression turned serious.
During the time he was comprehending the Dao within the stone slab, the battle of the divided souls in this lifetime also came to an end.
Like all rivers flowing into the sea.
The mountains, seas, and all things that originated from the gods have now returned to the new gods.
The torrent surged forth, its force overwhelming everything in its path.
Even the frozen, ice-covered stone slabs of the mountains and seas were propelled by it, trembling and flowing towards the beginning of the mountains and seas.
If Li Fan had seen this scene for the first time, he would have been so frightened that he would have run for his life immediately.
But at this moment, Li Fan watched all of this with a calm expression.
Because the arrival of this new god was entirely orchestrated by him.
This made Li Fan completely free of the fear he had felt when he first encountered the god.
"god……"
"That's all."
"It can be molded, and it can be shed."
"This is the transformation between truth and falsehood..."
Li Fan carefully considered the many changes that had occurred over the three lifetimes.
The conditions for the birth of a new god are summarized.
"It seems that the fall of So is not enough."
"The fact that So once fought against the saints is also a key factor."
"Why is that?"
Although the specific reasons are currently unknown, the method for stably creating new gods to descend has been mastered.
"However, we should not repeat the mistakes made by the Silver Glow Spot."
"Otherwise, if it awakens its memories of being a god, and even faintly senses that it truly exists, it cannot be erased by the true reset..."
"It's too dangerous for me."
"In this life, however, it was out of necessity to perfect the Dao Yi Mountain and Sea Map."
As Li Fan was thinking, his thoughts suddenly stopped.
Because he discovered that the Boundless Mountain and Sea Stele, which originally flowed with the Mountain and Sea Stone Slabs to the new god, was now gone.
Suddenly it stopped moving.
