Chapter 1752 The Gods Once Changed Mountains and Seas
Starlight descends upon the world, and all things yield!
Although the Lone Star never truly descended to earth, the ray of its light was enough to crush everything else.
The void realm vanished, like a king witnessing their passing, frozen in place.
Engulfed by starlight, it vanished without a trace.
The Boundless Mountain and Sea Monument, which was about to collapse and disappear, actually regained its shape under this pure radiance.
It is no longer a standing stone monument, but...
A severed finger!
This finger has existed for an unknown amount of time, seemingly weathered by time, completely losing its original "finger" appearance. It resembles a solitary mountain peak, standing proudly above the world.
But everyone present who witnessed its existence instantly understood.
This is the finger of God.
Or, to be more precise, the finger of the true god.
boom!
The moment this thought arose, it was as if that fallen true god had truly crossed time and space to come and gently crush down with a single finger.
The Dao Annihilation Devouring Vortex exploded and disintegrated in an instant. Billions of lions also crumbled instantly before the True God's single finger.
Even with the enhancement of the transformation between truth and falsehood, Li Fan felt that all his cultivation had been lost, and the Great Dao of the Mysterious Female dissipated like a wisp of green smoke, returning to the vast primordial beginning.
The lone star cast a ray of light, but it was forcibly twisted and broken.
The shackles disappeared, and the True God Finger instantly collapsed inward, vanishing without a trace.
A moment later, the starlight suddenly spread out a thousandfold.
It takes over everything in sight.
This wasn't the first time Li Fan had witnessed the descent of a lone star, so he remained calm and silently recited a prayer.
"Really!"
At this moment, it was as if time had turned back.
The starlight, spraying freely, seemed to encounter a strong wind, instantly flowing backward.
Despite their immense resentment, they were unable to return to where they had come from under the suppression of the invisible hand of truth.
The starlight faded, and darkness swallowed everything.
I don't know how much time passed, or it seemed like just a moment later.
Like the rising sun piercing through the darkness.
A ray of starlight reappears, illuminating the world.
However, the reason is unknown.
The starlight lasted only a moment before it seemed to sense something.
The brilliance suddenly dimmed without warning, and its whereabouts became unknown.
……
Anchored for 1 year!
"True God's Finger!" Li Fan, who had regained consciousness, seemed to still be immersed in the moment when the Boundless Mountain and Sea Monument was illuminated by the Lone Star.
With his eyes slightly narrowed, he imitated the posture and pressed down in a seemingly serious manner.
"Shatter the saints, break through the void, crush the starlight."
"As expected of a remnant of a former true god."
Infused with the essence of the True God's Finger, even though Li Fan had just awakened and was still in a mortal body, the entire Great Xuan Small World trembled slightly as he gently pressed down with his Lingxu Finger.
A series of booming sounds came from the sky, as if it were shattering, and cracks appeared, spreading like a spider web.
The Immortal Absolute Formation that had sealed off the Great Xuan Small World shattered instantly, allowing wisps of spiritual energy to flow in from the Xuanhuang Realm.
Moreover, the mysterious finger force even penetrated, reaching directly beyond the Xuanhuang Realm.
Within the Immortal Ruins, the Enlightened Immortal felt a sudden tremor in his heart and was about to open his eyes.
But Li Fan forcefully pushed it back down.
As if he had lost his memory of what had just happened, Hungry Immortal once again fell into a state of enlightenment.
Throughout the entire process, Hungry Immortal was completely unaware that he was being affected by external forces.
"Wherever the finger touches, it can be altered at will. There is no such thing as cultivation level or realm."
"This is just my imitation of the artistic conception."
Li Fan stopped and stared intently at his fingertips.
The divine aura had already dissipated from it. It was nothing more than an ordinary mortal body. No one would have imagined that it could unleash such almost transcendent power.
"The various cultivation realms between mountains and seas are merely conventional classifications among us cultivators. In reality, they are basically defined by mountains and seas. Those who can traverse mountains and seas are considered transcendent. Those who can be on par with mountains and seas are considered saints."
"However, everything in the mountains and seas originates from the gods. When the True God's finger falls, it determines the destiny of the mountains and seas. Using its mysteries, it is easy to twist and rewrite the lives of the creatures in the mountains and seas." With a mortal body, Li Fan did not feel any discomfort when he used the True God's finger.
Li Fan vaguely sensed that this might be related to his long-term cultivation and understanding of the difference between truth and falsehood.
"If it were anyone else, let alone a mortal, even a saint wouldn't be able to use this divine power so smoothly. But I..."
"Having been influenced by the constant shifts between truth and falsehood over the years, I have become somewhat different."
Li Fan kept savoring the feeling of using the True God Finger to distort and rewrite the Hungry Immortal's form.
It merely caused him to ignore the anomalies occurring in the outside world and return to a state of meditation and enlightenment. But it was, without exception, a direct alteration of his consciousness.
It should be noted that although Hungry Immortal is no longer worthy of Li Fan's attention, he is still a cultivator who is only one step away from the realm of Nameless True Immortal.
Yet they are treated like toys, wantonly played with by mortals.
What if Li Fan regains his Saint-level cultivation?
What if Li Fan were to gain a deeper understanding of the True God Finger's essence and advance further?
It's truly hard to imagine.
"If it is truly possible to reset the mountains and seas in the blink of an eye, then the True God Finger has the potential to modify them. From this perspective, the two are of equal power. No wonder my comprehension of the True God Finger was so smooth after I achieved success in the Transformation of Truth and Falsehood."
“But such a divine object…” Li Fan frowned, trying to find traces of the True God Finger in his long cycle of memories from his past self.
Perhaps it's because Li Fan's past memories are so vast that he can only recall the tip of the iceberg. Or perhaps Li Fan was so focused on fighting against the Void Realm at the last moment that he didn't notice the Boundless Monument hidden between the mountains and seas.
In short, Li Fan did not recall any scenes related to the True God Finger.
This was his first real contact.
Li Fan didn't dwell on it any further.
"To possess such divine power is undoubtedly a blessing for me now. The transformation between truth and falsehood, the finger of the true god. With the combined power of these two..."
"The sages of the mountains and seas are not worth worrying about." A surge of heroic spirit welled up in Li Fan's heart.
But recalling his previous life, it seemed that the new god who descended was someone else. He instantly calmed down again.
"The two new gods I encountered before and after had vastly different styles of doing things. It can be basically concluded that the two people who became gods in the two lifetimes were not the same person. In other words, all the saints of the mountains and seas at the beginning actually had the strength to replace the mountains and seas and become new gods. The only thing they lacked was a bit of luck."
"They are indeed not to be trifled with. No wonder the Three Sages are always so cautious when they talk about the First Sage of the Mountains and Seas."
"Don't be reckless, let's stick to the original plan." Li Fan's excitement subsided abruptly.
"I possess the ability to transform between truth and falsehood, so there is no need for me to contend with them. The so-called 'divine intervention' is simply a dead end."
Li Fan compared the various situations that occurred after the arrival of different new gods in these lifetimes, and became increasingly certain of his judgment.
"Mountains and seas, the new gods. Neither can escape the pursuit of the stars; it was all destined long ago."
"Mountains and seas have no boundaries, and they merge with each other. This is the beginning of the annihilation of the Dao."
"From the day they merged, their fate of eventual annihilation was sealed..."
"However, this is looking back from the perspective of hindsight. In the very beginning, Shan Hai Wu Jie and Shan Hai themselves seemed unaware of their tragic future. On the contrary, they remained optimistic."
"This is quite suspicious. Putting aside me, a newcomer, even the saints at the beginning of the Mountain and Sea could foresee the terrible calamities of the future and choose the method of severing the future to escape the disaster. How could the Mountain and Sea not have noticed? This just doesn't make sense!"
Suddenly, recalling his earlier alteration of the Hungry Immortal's consciousness, an idea surged into Li Fan's mind.
"The absence of boundary markers and the finger of the true god not only merge mountains and seas, but also distort and rewrite the concept of mountains and seas?"
Li Fan felt a slight tremor in his heart.
"Perhaps the fusion of mountains and seas is merely superficial. The true purpose of the divine will is to distort the consciousness of mountains and seas and alter their future course."
In an instant, Li Fan couldn't help but think of the three rumors about the God's successor.
"Legend has it that when the gods of mountains and seas were separated, they left behind three contingency plans on the verge of death."
“Each one has the power to overturn mountains and seas.”
"I previously guessed that Xing and Zhen Huan were both among them."
"However, I now realize that it was truly what I had gained through my unparalleled talent and the integration of the paths of the saints, and was not a gift from the gods."
"Now it seems that this Boundless Mountain and Sea Monument is more like one of the contingency plans left by the gods."
"The key question is, where did He go?"
Li Fan's heart stirred, and he chose to inherit the [Dao Yi Shan Hai Tu] he had created in his previous life.
A splashed ink painting scroll immediately appeared in Li Fan's hands.
It is quite different from when it was first created.
Having endured countless battles and ripples in the new divine realm, the Mountain and Sea Map has gained even more unique and mysterious rhythms.
but……
"The boundary marker between mountains and seas has disappeared."
"Only His shadow remains."
"A faint wisp..."
"Even with the alternation between real and fake, it is impossible to completely replicate it?"
This was the first time Li Fan had encountered something that was truly impossible to mold.
After all, even mountains and seas, and all the saints, can be recreated in a single thought.
If there truly are things that cannot be reproduced...
"Without a doubt, it transcends mountains and seas and belongs to the true gods."
Li Fan carefully examined the remnants of the Mountain and Sea Boundless Monument.
Even a faint afterimage is a thousand times better than Li Fan's imitation and engraving.
After observing for a long time, insights began to flow in my heart like a mountain spring.
Li Fan vaguely understood where the Boundless Mountain and Sea Monument had gone after it collapsed.
"It's not that it's going somewhere, but that it no longer exists."
"The Boundless Mountain and Sea Monument exists solely to unite mountains and seas. If the mountains and seas cease to exist and the Mountain and Sea Map, which serves as a lower-level replacement, also disappears, then the Boundless Monument will naturally cease to appear in the world."
"But what if, in the void, mountains and seas reappear..."
"Then the Boundless Mountain and Sea Monument, like a malignant tumor, will surely descend once more!"
"It turns out that the Boundless Monument seen in each cycle of the mountains and seas is not actually a reset. Rather, it is a manifestation of itself."
"As for the many engravings on it..."
Li Fan recalled what he had seen in his previous life: the afterimages of saints rising from the Boundless Monument under the impact of the Dao Annihilation.
"It is merely an inscription of the principles of the saints, not the boundary marker itself."
"When it re-manifests, it naturally won't be carried with it."
"The remnants left by the true god are indeed extraordinary."
Li Fan looked up and gazed, his eyes seemingly piercing through the endless possibilities of mountains and seas, reaching the location of the boundary marker.
"With just this one finger, all possibilities for the future of the Mountain and Sea have been completely sealed off."
"No matter how much they struggle, no matter what variables they evolve into, as long as the mountains and seas themselves exist, the Boundless Monument will descend to fix their destiny."
"Furthermore, it will eventually engulf all the lone stars."
"The ending of the Mountain and Sea series was actually written the moment it swallowed the gods."
"No wonder, it has nothing to do with the final outcome."
Immediately, Li Fan couldn't help but think that with such divine means, controlling the mountains and seas must truly require three backup plans.
"I'm afraid it's for some other purpose."
"Either they check and balance each other to prevent failure, or..."
"To prepare for a return."
The more Li Fan observed the divine finger, the more he realized the immeasurable power of the true god.
Then the question that had been lingering in my mind resurfaced.
"How exactly did God die?"
"It was never that the Mountain and Sea were merely dividing their spirits, but rather that the Mountain and Sea were destroying the god. Clearly, with the methods of the Mountain and Sea, they were no match for that true god. Why did the god from which all power originated perish?"
The answer to this question may only be faintly glimpsed at the beginning of the mountains and seas, when the mind is distracted.
Instead of creating trouble for himself, Li Fan proceeded with his plan.
"With this Boundless Stele in place, my Dao Map can definitely be called a treasure of the mountains and seas."
“Under normal circumstances, the Dao Annihilates Mountains and Seas are in harmony. If I were to add the blessing of my own True God Finger…”
"To imprison and suppress all the saints with a single thought is as easy as turning one's hand."
Having successfully crafted such a treasure, Li Fan did not forget his original purpose. It was precisely for…
Incarnate as the Lord of the Void Realm!
Dao Yishan transformed into a black and white robe, which draped over his body. Li Fan sat in meditation, seeking enlightenment.
All the principles of the Dao within the mountains and seas seemed to be within his reach, allowing him to choose freely.
In fact, what Li Fan touched was not the true Dao within the Mountain and Sea Map, but merely a copy. However, the imitation was so close to the truth that Li Fan could directly use it to comprehend the Dao and achieve sainthood!
"It can only greatly reduce the difficulty of enlightenment, but it cannot serve as a cornerstone for increasing strength. To truly become a Mountain and Sea Saint, one must rely on the Great Dao within the Mountain and Sea. However, the Mountain and Sea Map's wondrous uses are already astonishing enough!"
"The infusion of true spirit solves the problem of aptitude for becoming a saint. The Dao Yi Mountain and Sea Map can disregard the requirements for becoming a saint and comprehending the Dao. Combining the two, as long as I am willing, I can cultivate a sufficient reserve of saints!"
"A saint? Can be replaced at any time!"
As his thoughts raced, Li Fan's aura simultaneously surged.
It only took Li Fan a little over fifty years to cultivate from a mortal back to the realm of a saint!
Keep in mind that this was all done without any starlight enhancement, relying entirely on Li Fan's own abilities!
Wearing the Mountain and Sea Map on his body, it was as if the entire mountain and sea belonged to Li Fan alone.
Cultivating spirituality and attaining enlightenment is as easy as eating and drinking.
On the day of his ascension to sainthood, under the cover of the Dao Yi Mountain and Sea Map, the saints of the other shore were not even able to detect the arrival of another saint between the mountains and seas.
Enveloped by billowing ink, Li Fan plunged straight into the Dao Annihilation.
Like ice melting into water, Li Fan did not use the transformation between truth and falsehood; relying solely on the protection of the Mountain and Sea Map, he completely blended into the surrounding Dao Annihilation environment.
But this is not enough.
Li Fan narrowed his eyes, recalling the [Starlight Rhythm Summary] he had inherited.
A strange, heart-beat-like rhythmic light reappeared, illuminating Li Fan's body.
The surrounding Daoyan seemed to sense something and instantly became turbulent and chaotic.
"go with!"
Li Fan threw the Mountain and Sea Map in his hand into the surrounding Dao Annihilation.
