My Simulated Road to Immortality Chapter 2287 - 1715: Bearing the Gods of the Three Saints

A solution seems to have been provided, yet it is a path few others could ever hope to tread.

The other Saints of Mountain Sea aside, a complex cycle of suppression exists even among Mountain Lian, Sea Return, and Taiyi, involving the Turtle Shell, Ancestor Bone, and Life Rope.

In a previous life, Li Fan had witnessed this dynamic firsthand. During a sudden strike from the Void Realm, the Life Rope snared Mountain Lian, the Turtle Shell quelled Sea Return, and the Ancestor Bone took hold of Taiyi.

Nevertheless, the answer had been revealed.

Li Fan gave a small nod, saying, "The Three Saints' guidance is etched into my heart; I shall not forget it."

"Since the Three Saints possess this inherent ferocity, the incarnation of the Void Realm will surely possess it as well. Although it lacks the profound mystery of the original self..."

"The Void Realm might utilize erratic powers to accelerate its evolution. We must remain vigilant against this possibility."

Li Fan spoke slowly, explaining his reasons for seeking clarity regarding the inherent ferocity held by the Three Saints.

"Accelerate its evolution..." Taiyi’s expression became pensive upon hearing Li Fan’s analysis.

Within his eyes, a torrent of light and shadow flickered as he rapidly calculated the possibilities.

"Logically, a Void Realm incarnation is a perfect mirror of the original. Their Cultivation base, Divine Technique, and Magic Treasure should be identical—nothing more, nothing less."

"Unless..."

"The Void Realm has placed another piece on the board," Sea Return suddenly suggested.

Following a heavy silence, Saint Lianshan spoke in a somber tone: "The Void Realm and Mountain Sea are locked in a struggle where every bit of power is utilized with surgical precision to avoid waste. If additional strength is indeed being deployed, perhaps the Void Realm has caught a glimpse of the possibility that we might cross Mountains and Seas to provide aid."

"Daoist Zhouhui, your foresight is truly comprehensive."

Li Fan smiled and replied, "I follow the Dao of the Cosmic Cycle, observing all things through infinite Reincarnations. No matter how slim the chance, in the face of eternal cycles, it is a certainty that must be prepared for."

"As the saying goes, preparation prevents peril."

Saint Taiyi’s eyes eventually stilled, his face turning grave. "Even if the goal of this assistance is merely to delay the inevitable, if the Void Realm truly wields multiple layers of inherent ferocity..."

"It will be nearly impossible to withstand without our direct interference."

Taiyi’s gaze shifted between Li Fan, Guardian Hill, and Morality.

Guardian Hill had kept the True Yet False Creation hidden, and based on the power Li Fan had previously exhibited, he indeed lacked the standing to suppress the three primary inherent ferocities.

Thus, the logic held firm.

After weighing the options, Mountain Lian offered a final proposal: "I can grant you a fragment of my Divine Soul. I wonder if you are willing to accept it?"

"Typically, this Divine Sense will stay dormant. It will only manifest to help when the inherent ferocity shows itself, and it won't interfere with your daily movements. However..."

"Because this Divine Sense is meant to battle inherent ferocity, even a small fragment is quite potent. Harboring it within your body will inevitably cause your mind to waver."

They expected Li Fan to show some reluctance.

Instead, he gave his consent without a moment of doubt.

"It is a great honor to carry the Divine Sense of the Three Saints!"

With Li Fan in agreement, Guardian Hill and Morality naturally followed suit.

Before the Divine Sense was bestowed, Saint Sea Return gave a warning: "When the Divine Sense enters you, you may experience everything we have lived through. These visions are incredibly vivid and hard to distinguish from reality. You must hold fast to your original mind, or your Dao Path may become warped."

"But do not be overly concerned; we will be watching. If the strain becomes too much, we will cease the transfer immediately."

Even for a single strand of Divine Sense, the Three Saints showed unprecedented care.

Under the collective gaze of the Saints, Li Fan and the others prepared themselves.

"I shall receive Mountain Lian," he declared firmly.

Guardian Hill followed, "I am prepared to receive Sea Return."

Finally, Morality spoke: "I shall accept the spirit of Taiyi."

The physical forms of the Three Saints did not move.

They simply extended a finger, lightly touching the forehead of each recipient.

To an outside observer, nothing seemed to change.

In reality, a massive storm had erupted within the souls of Li Fan and his companions.

Li Fan could not see what the others experienced.

But in that heartbeat, he saw a mountain of overlapping shadows!

It was exactly as he had surmised in his previous life.

The name Mountain Lian came from the act of "connecting mountains."

The true origin of Saint Lianshan’s power was the collective weight of every failed attempt to connect the mountains. From the dawn of life in Mountain Sea to the present, every soul who ever tried to bridge the mountains provided the foundation for Saint Lianshan’s realization of the Tao.

Countless civilizations, individuals, and even the world's own attempts were etched into this power.

Though only a thread of Mountain Lian’s divinity entered Li Fan.

Yet, as the saying goes in Xuan Ji, to possess a part is to touch the whole.

While it lacked the full weight of reality, in terms of complexity and volume, it was nearly the same!

In the truest sense, the Three Saints were not mere mortals.

What they considered natural could be a soul-crushing disaster for any ordinary "person"!

At that moment, the ghosts of every past civilization and person from Mountain Sea seemed to rush into Li Fan’s body at once.

These were not just simple hallucinations; they were packets of conscious data, feeling as real as living people.

It felt as if his consciousness had shattered into a million pieces, scattered across the history of Mountain Sea, living through hundreds of thousands of years of experiences simultaneously.

A normal Divine Soul would have collapsed under such a burden.

However, Li Fan was far from ordinary.

By all rights, his divine consciousness should have been torn apart and occupied by these ancient civilizations, falling into a state of total chaos like a leaderless army.

Instead, within the depths of his being, Li Fan’s original consciousness remained perfectly still, firmly holding the center.
