Capítulo 2236: Chapter 1689: The Hungry Hai Zhen (Part 2)
However…
In doing so, countless living beings would lose their lives because of this.
The actions were observed by All Saints on the Other Shore. Their style of conduct was quite different from what had been previously shown, creating doubts and seeming to be unfavorable.
“Let the Saints see my clever methods indeed!”
Thinking this way, Li Fan decided to put away the thought of brute force.
His figure transformed into a stream of light, completely merging into this cycle, into the most prominent possibility.
Li Fan once existed in the River of Time during a backwards journey, in the form of a “line,” existing for a period.
Unlike the normal state, where one only exists at a single point in time.
This form simultaneously covers a whole long duration of time.
At this moment, as Li Fan merged in, the stream of light also spread out in the cycle.
Finally, occupying the entire Reincarnation.
Li Fan could thereby witness the history of this possibility from the perspective of an indigenous living being.
This civilization was birthed from the ruins after a great war.
Exotic Beasts and disasters rampaged; humans struggled to survive in crevices.
Gradually, they built cities like stars on the vast land.
They searched the Ancient relics within the ruins for wondrous items, recovering knowledge.
Depending on the different ancient records they found, they slowly formed two distinct factions.
The first faction focuses on strengthening oneself, using everything available on the wilderness to modify and enhance the body.
The second faction follows the Path of Control, where the body is extremely fragile but can cultivate special spiritual powers to manipulate Exotic Beasts and even machinery.
The two did not originally have irreconcilable conflicts.
But after the two factions reached the highest realm of Cultivation, everything changed.
The Path of Control could also control cultivators who had enhanced their physical bodies.
The spiritual power of those who cultivated control was a great supplement to the physical cultivators. Once consumed, it could exceed a hundred years of hard cultivation.
Hence, a shocking battle broke out.
Ultimately, the civilization painstakingly rebuilt from ruins was destroyed once again.
No one escaped, only a few records were preserved.
After a long period of deathly silence, new life emerged again.
Repeating past events.
In this possibility, indeed, some living beings saw through this sorrowful cycle. Many times, they wanted to stand out to save the world and change everything.
But the conflict between the two Cultivation methods was nearly irreconcilable.
Individual strength ultimately was like a drop in the ocean, hard to resist the surging trends.
This possibility thus fell into an endless cycle.
“The past can affect the future, and the future can change the past.”
“But because of the outbreak of that world-ending battle, all variations that could influence were minimized. Perhaps it would take billions of cycles to generate changes significant enough to alter civilization…”
Li Fan’s consciousness covered the entire timeline. After pondering for a moment, he began to search for the root cause.
“All causes stem from the fundamental conflict between the two Cultivation methods. If it can be resolved…”
“Perhaps this cycle could be broken.”
“And to maintain this state, the hidden Mountain Sea Path would inevitably take action to reverse it.”
Two figures appeared in the cities reborn after the ruins.
They each joined different factions.
After decades exploring Cultivation, both reached the pinnacle realm of Cultivation.
“Indeed, whether Control or the body. In this world, they have reached the limits of Cultivation.”
“To advance further, one must devour the other part.”
“This is the restriction of the world itself, or rather, it is the restriction of the Tao.”
“But this won’t stop me.”
Li Fan created two incarnations, achieving incredible expertise in each faction, worthy of being the leaders of both sides.
By iron-handed methods, temporarily suppressing the war momentum.
Instead, concentrating power to modify each Cultivation method.
In the eyes of many, this seemed like meaningless stalling. However, less than three years passed before effective modified methods emerged.
“The Path of Control can control all things, and naturally can control oneself. The stronger the body, the easier it is to control like an extension of one’s limbs.”
“Everything in the world can serve as body nourishment. This includes one’s own spirit. Spiritual refining resembles a golden elixir. Once consumed, it reveals all flaws in the body.”
…
Initially, people were skeptical, but finally some curious individuals were willing to try.
After a bout of Cultivation, they discovered that both methods could indeed be cultivated together, even complementing each other!
Thus, the shadow of war gradually retreated.
Exchange and prosperity began to take root and sprout on earth.
Li Fan, having achieved his goal, raised his head, sensing the silent changes slowly emerging in the world.
Under the influence of an eerie power, the flourishing of civilization did not last long.
Only a short period of peaceful coexistence ended, and chatter of war broke out yet again.
Originating from the realization by cultivators that although dual Cultivation was effective, the Cultivation process was incredibly slow!
The world was filled with mediocrity; focusing on a single method had already exhausted one’s efforts. How much more so when cultivating both methods?
Not only was one’s power inferior to focusing on a single method.
The lethal aspect was that the earlier method of consuming cultivators from the other faction, converting them into one’s own Cultivation resources, remained effective!
The greed within the human heart was difficult to eradicate.
In calmness, turbulence gradually arose.
Increasing amounts of slaughter began to emerge.
…
Li Fan captured a thread of world-changing power but wasn’t confident enough to strike in one go.
Instead of acting hastily, he started to maneuver around it again.
The two leaders collaborated once more, improving the new methods.
Increasing Cultivation efficiency by several times.
While mercilessly killing those who dared use cultivators for Cultivation.
Another round of bloody slaughter forcibly pressed down on the greed in people’s hearts.
Furthermore, the Cultivation path was not entirely closed; an accessible Cultivation method still existed.
Thus, people slowly accepted this slower way of Cultivation.
Li Fan shifted the world through human governance. The world underwent rebirth again.
With simultaneous spiritual and bodily Cultivation, sometimes signs of becoming demonized appeared.
Either the body transformed into Exotic Beasts on the wilderness, but the spirit remained normal.
Or the spirit turned chaotic, but the body maintained normalcy.
Regardless of the type, sudden explosive outbreaks were enough to cause massive threats to civilization.
Initially, people tolerated it, but as occurrences surged, cultivators began to question the rationality of dual-method Cultivation.
Of course.
Once again, resolved by Li Fan.
As the world was on the brink of its third transformation.
Li Fan, hidden behind the scenes, suddenly opened his eyes.
“Dare to be mischievous, I found you!”
His figure leaped out from the cycle possibility, manifesting a colossal presence.
With a light step, he stepped upon the myriad cycle possibilities.
His hands gripped the air!
