Chapter 1760 The Shadows of Gods
“In my previous life, I walked before the True God who was about to descend, and I have nothing left except the [True and False Paths].
"but……"
"It's not a big problem."
Li Fan looked at the real panel.
It's like it's unfolding for the first time.
Instead of all of them jumping into view at once, they appeared one character at a time, one after another.
It then collapsed, all the complex content disappeared, leaving only a few lines of characters.
Name: Li Fan.
Path: True or False.
The Great Way Returns to Truth:
……
In the section on the path, the words "true" and "false" flicker like breaths, as if these two words alone encompass all laws and things in the world.
The Great Dao Returning to Truth Hall, which had already taken shape, is now completely empty.
The First Mysterious Female, the Second Cosmic Reincarnation, and others, which once captured the Great Dao, have all disappeared.
At the end of his previous life, in order to verify the true and false origins of the Great Dao, Li Fan did his best to hold on until the very last moment.
God devours all things.
Even the real thing was dismembered and separated.
The various functions that originated from the paths of the saints, as well as the various great paths in the Hall of Returning to Truth.
They were all swallowed up by the true god who was about to be resurrected.
The only ones who truly understand this are Li Fan and the True and False Dao.
But for Li Fan now, he can have everything by knowing whether it's true or false.
Everything else is unimportant.
"Even the fake can be real!"
Li Fan stared at the constantly flashing characters before him, recalling the two lonely beams of light that had enveloped him at the end of his previous life, as well as his understanding of the various paths within the Hall of the Great Dao Returning to Truth.
Something moved in my heart.
Then something was created out of nothing.
Lines of colorful characters are born from nothingness and written out of thin air.
The First Mysterious Female, the Second Cosmic Reincarnation...
And all the holy paths to the other shore are included.
The once blank Great Dao Hall instantly transformed into a dazzling array of paths.
It is no different from what Li Fan previously controlled.
However, it did not exceed the original limit.
Li Fan then visualized the "Dao Yi Mountain and Sea Map".
Unfortunately, amidst the surging dark clouds, although the Mountain and Sea Map was roughly formed, it could not perfectly reproduce the strongest state when the Mountain and Sea had no boundary marker.
The True God Finger, which sits atop the Mountain and Sea Map, is even more faint and ethereal than before.
It is difficult to detect its existence without careful observation.
"The transformation between truth and falsehood is all based on my understanding of all things. Through constant reincarnation, my mastery of the Great Dao of Mountains and Seas is sufficient to support my ability to create anything with a single thought."
"but……"
"The True God Finger won't work."
The image of a sky full of stars before the true god's resurrection resurfaced in Li Fan's mind.
"Even if one sees God, it is difficult to know God."
"With my limited knowledge of reincarnation, I am far from sufficient to understand God."
"But perhaps I could have done it in the past."
With a thought, Li Fan's long-suppressed option of inheriting the true essence finally emerged.
Skip all the previous lines and go straight to the last line.
A completely new option that has never appeared before.
"【Genealogy of the Gods】".
Li Fan stared intently at those three words, but hesitated to make a choice.
For some reason, a chill ran down my spine, rising and falling, and I found it hard to calm down.
"Gods, what does this mean?"
Li Fan already knew that it was indeed the sum of his countless past reincarnations, the paths of saints, and the changes between truth and falsehood.
"The Pantheon is the enlightenment I gained after witnessing the resurrection of the true god. But why is it about the gods?"
Li Fan couldn't help but recall the rumors he had once heard about the creator god.
"The powerful creator god defeated His kind and extracted their power to create all living beings in the world..."
"The only source of this record is Sun Piaomiao's notes."
"The other fables about mountains and seas all match what I have seen about mountains and seas. Only the one about the creator god remains a mystery."
Li Fan's mood was unpredictable, and he did not choose to inherit the position directly.
Instead, he cultivated himself to the Saint realm again, and only after gaining at least a certain level of self-protection ability did he open it again.
It's as if starlight has returned to the earth.
The deep darkness swallowed everything around it.
The original place, the mountains and seas, are all gone.
Surrounded by absolute nothingness, Li Fan only vaguely sensed that there seemed to be some indescribable existence around him.
It was beyond Li Fan's comprehension and observation, so it was invisible and unknowable.
But one can sense the dramatic changes taking place in the darkness.
Without warning, one of the indescribable entities suddenly vanished.
It was as if it had been suddenly swallowed up by something.
Next came the second and the third.
Originally, it seemed that only the last of the "gods" remained.
This scene matches exactly what Sun Piaomiao recorded.
Li Fan suddenly realized something: "Sun Piaomiao probably glimpsed this scene from the thoughts of Shan Hai at the beginning of Shan Hai's split spirit. Therefore, he wrote the allegory of the creator god killing other gods."
"but……"
Li Fan frowned slightly, feeling that something was amiss.
"At this moment, neither mountains nor seas exist. How could mountains and seas know of this scene?"
The boundless darkness did not fade away.
It always lingered around Li Fan.
Li Fan suppressed his doubts and waited for the next development.
It took longer than the entire time it took for the "gods" to disappear.
A glimmer of light suddenly appeared, illuminating this unknown world.
This allowed Li Fan to glimpse a blurry image hidden in the darkness.
Numerous figures overlapped and merged into one.
It seemed as if it was devouring and chewing, or as if it was fusing and sublimating.
The multitude is one, and one is the multitude.
It encompasses everything, it includes everything.
However, discord is quietly brewing within this.
Li Fan seemed to see two images struggling to break free from it.
Compared to other unknowable and invisible beings, these two figures were quite familiar.
"Mountains and seas!"
Li Fan's mind was shaken.
At that moment, a burst of light suddenly shone brightly in the void.
The darkness was dispelled, and Li Fan returned to reality.
Compared to observing the outline of changes in mountains and seas and the rhythm of starlight, this so-called "True God Genealogy" did not bring any special impact.
It was as if he had just had a dream, and once Li Fan was free, he quickly emerged from its influence.
"This does not mean that the true God is weaker than mountains, seas, and stars."
"But..."
"My past experiences and memories have finally become useless in this scenario."
"It's far beyond our comprehension. His insights are not much different from mine. It can only produce such meaningless images."
"The blessings I once bestowed upon you have finally been exhausted."
Li Fan was not surprised by the arrival of this day.
In fact, he had already accomplished what he had failed to do before: he had seen through the truth of mountains, seas, and stars, and witnessed the imminent descent of the resurrected true god.
"From now on, I really have to rely on myself for the rest of the journey."
The moment this thought crossed his mind, it was as if another version of himself appeared before Li Fan's eyes.
He smiled faintly, then his body shattered completely.
It transformed into countless starlight, surging towards Li Fan.
All the memories of the past rushed towards Li Fan like a raging flood.
If I had only browsed through parts of it before...
Now, however, it is a complete inheritance.
After sitting for a long time, Li Fan finally managed to fully digest his past memories.
In addition to countless cycles of reincarnation, there is also the understanding of the great principles of mountains and seas.
"This is the cornerstone of the operation of the true and false Dao, and the fundamental reason why the true Dao can be realized."
Although these were originally Li Fan's own memories and insights.
But now, Li Fan feels a certain sense of alienation when he inherits the position.
"The person I once was was me. Yet, I was not me."
"The Li Fan of the past has truly fallen. Only such a complete severance can give birth to a completely different possibility of breaking the deadlock."
Li Fan understood immediately.
Although it was impossible to directly convert all of his former supernatural powers and cultivation, such a gift was almost equivalent to a sudden enlightenment.
Li Fan's understanding of the Great Dao of Mountains and Seas and the transformation between truth and falsehood was increasing rapidly every moment.
From another perspective, it's as if Li Fan and Zhen Huan are gradually merging together.
Gradually, we will become indistinguishable from one another.
"The day the fusion is complete will be the day the true demise is achieved."
"But you could also say that it hasn't really disappeared."
"Because I am the truth, and the truth is me."
Li Fan felt completely calm as he looked up at the beginning of the mountains and seas.
"True and false paths are merely means of protection. To truly break free from this deadly predicament, one must seek the method of slaying gods."
"The glimpse we have of the [Chronicle of the Gods] is far too vague. There should have been more clues when the Mountain and Sea were divided into gods."
"So they followed the established plan and headed against the current towards the beginning of the mountains and seas."
"Even with my current cultivation level, billions of years is an extremely long journey. Let's proceed slowly."
"Wait until I arrive..."
"Perhaps by integrating and absorbing it, we can complete most of it."
Li Fan's thoughts slowly turned, and his body transformed into a thread, disappearing into the void.
The vast void is not only threatened by the annihilation and devouring of the Dao, but also by the inability to distinguish between the past and the present.
This is the greatest obstacle that ordinary saints face when they try to cross the river and go against the tide.
Li Fan had no idea how Sun Piaomiao had managed to reach the beginning of the Mountain and Sea.
But for him, crossing against the current is no longer a difficult task.
The transformation between truth and falsehood may befall you, but the Dao cannot harm you in the slightest.
Drawing from past experiences and memories, through countless reincarnations to save the world, Li Fan has personally traversed every place in the mountains, seas, and even the illusory realm.
What was a place that was difficult for others to distinguish between ancient and modern times, Li Fan felt that everything was extremely familiar.
Take a stroll.
Without any hesitation, Li Fan traveled through the area.
Ignoring the conflict between the mountains and seas and the Dao, the only thing they would pay attention to was the possible whereabouts of Sun Piaomiao and Qiu Tianhui.
Indeed, traces left by Sun Piaomiao were discovered, further verifying the fact that he had gone against the flow.
But strangely enough, Qiu Tianhui and his wife seemed to have vanished into thin air.
"Only the lifeline remains, but its shadow is nowhere to be seen."
"They traveled from the end of the mountains and seas to the beginning of the mountains and seas. What exactly did they seek?"
Qiu Xinhui, who was created by both of them, could vaguely sense Li Fanzhen's presence.
Perhaps Mr. and Mrs. Qiu Tianhui also sensed something.
"The so-called 'Shan Hai Avengers Plan'... is utterly useless in saving the world. They should know that."
Li Fan drove against the flow of traffic, pondering the situation.
Like a traveler passing through mountains and seas, traversing mountains and seas, yet leaving no trace.
I don't know how much time passed, until...
Taking a step forward, it felt as if the world was spinning.
The scene of the towering mountain and the boundless sea disappearing without a trace.
In an instant, I found myself in a vast and boundless world.
"The Primordial Immortal Realm".
A glint of light flashed in Li Fan's eyes.
This is the initial stage of the integration of mountains and seas, and even includes attempts by mountains and seas to defy their destiny.
However, it was interfered with by the true god and destroyed this world on its own.
"Only the saints within it vaguely sensed something and sought temporary peace by using the method of severing the future."
"The Primordial Saints..."
"Hmph, they're all just cowards."
In countless reincarnations, Li Fan had naturally come into contact with these Primordial Saints.
Yet there was not a single person who could become a comrade-in-arms.
"Unable to contend for the gods, unable to save the world, they can only hide in this small corner of the world and fight amongst themselves."
Although Li Fan was disdainful, he did not underestimate his opponent.
The Primordial Immortal Realm seemed to be isolated from mountains and seas, where time and space stood still.
The infighting among the saints had lasted for an unknown period, and all those who survived possessed the potential to become gods. All they lacked was an opportunity.
Li Fan's previous two witnesses to the birth of different new gods are the best proof of this.
Looking up at the sky, trying to gaze towards something even more ancient.
But it seemed as if something was blocking the view, making it impossible to see clearly.
Wanting to take a step forward and go against the current, it's as if you're stuck in a quagmire and can't move.
"This is why, despite the gathering of saints in the Primordial Immortal Realm, no conflict for godhood has occurred yet."
"Before the Primordial Immortal Realm, there was the time when the mountains and seas were divided into spirits."
"The mountains and seas would not allow their creations to disturb or affect them. Therefore, they established this boundary between the divine and the mortal."
"Severing time and space, cutting off cause and effect."
Li Fan reached out, attempting to use the method of blurring the lines between the divine and the mundane to break through the barrier between reality and illusion.
But the moment he made his move, all the saints in the Primordial Immortal Realm turned their gazes toward him!
The next moment, all sorts of magical powers and supernatural abilities poured down on him like a torrential rain.
"There are the Three Saints of Lianshan, and also an old acquaintance [Suo]."
"Hmm, and [transformation], [stabilization], [flow]..."
Ripples of light spread out in front of him, blocking all harm.
Although he ignored the attacks of the saints, Li Fan could still feel his energy being rapidly depleted.
The protective true and false Dao also began to tremble.
With a slight frown, Li Fan's figure faded again.
They disappeared from everyone's sight.
Although a few divine senses could still track him, Li Fan managed to escape from the sight of the saints after several transfers.
"Firstly, the boundary between the divine and the mortal is a restriction left by the mountains and seas. It cannot be easily broken."
"Secondly, all the saints are eyeing this place covetously. Anyone who tries to step into it, regardless of whether they can succeed, will be attacked by them all. The fewer opponents there are in the path to godhood, the greater one's chances of becoming a god."
"The time to become a god has arrived. What, then, is the condition to break the deadlock?"
Li Fan, who was in hiding, quickly deduced the truth based on his past two lives of creating gods.
"The gods have been locked in battle for many years, and a strange balance has been formed."
"No one can do anything to anyone else, and no one can take any further steps."
"Like a stagnant pool of water."
"When things are still, nothing changes. At this point, we need an external stone to smash down hard."
A glint of light flashed in Li Fan's eyes, and with another flicker, he quietly appeared beside [Suo].
Suo had been taken advantage of by Li Fan several times, and his name was recorded in the Hall of Returning to Truth.
Naturally, he couldn't escape Li Fan's search.
Countless tentacled black shadows swayed and moved, and the moment they sensed Li Fan, they formed a dense net and entangled him.
