My Simulated Road to Immortality Chapter 2336 - 1745: Li Fan’s Chronicle of God-Making (Part 2)

A mere idea sparked, impossible to shake off once it ignited. It began as a tiny, unnoticed flake of snow, yet swiftly escalated into a thundering cascade of destruction.

Fear replaced the initial anxiety.

Suo briefly glimpsed his own horrifying end!

"Am I going to die?"

"I'm doomed!"

Indescribable turmoil gripped him, his mind swirling with confusion, astonishment, and terror. Suo stopped worrying about anything else and bolted away in sheer panic.

"Have I gone too far this round?"

Li Fan sharply caught Suo's faint shift right at the end, his face showing a puzzling look.

His form blurred as he vanished just before Suo's net fully dissolved.

Suo's net mysteriously vanished, baffling the Mountain and Sea Saints. In the end, they couldn't pinpoint the cause and chalked it up to the early chaos in the Mountain and Sea.

Li Fan hid nearby, calmly expecting the outcome.

The set moment arrived, but the mind's arrival showed no trace.

"Another failure?" Li Fan's brow furrowed.

As he prepared to attempt it once more, a fresh idea hit him.

"Suo dimly felt something off, growing more alert. Yet in the end, his core damage couldn't be undone."

"The cursed one is bound to perish."

"It's merely delaying the inevitable a bit."

His eyes appeared to pierce through the stacked barriers of Mountain and Sea and the Void Realm, tracing back to the dawn of existence. Li Fan seemed to grasp a deeper truth.

Then he settled back into waiting, silently anticipating the New God's emergence.

This round, Li Fan didn't face disappointment once more.

A ghostly sensation of descent from the heavens abruptly appeared.

In the midst of countless mountains and seas, the Three Saints abruptly rose to their feet.

They gazed upward toward Tai Chu, faces etched with utmost gravity.

At the words "the era of Divine Split arrives," the Three Saints ended their own lives, channeling their strengths into the Taichu Immortal Realm.

Abandoning the stunned other Saints and the disordered Mountain and Sea.

"After such endless waiting, this instant has at last returned!"

Seizing the disorder in the Mountain and Sea Void Realm, Li Fan flung out a million souls with a single gesture.

These were the "fortunate survivors" he had seized during his journey against the current.

He merged them into the spiritual lines of Mountain and Sea existence.

"Dao Yan, come back!"

Within the Mountain and Sea, as stellar glow surged, Li Fan jabbed his finger at a spot in the endless Void Realm.

Previously adrift in disarray without direction, now under Li Fan's lead, they transformed into savage creatures catching the aroma of quarry.

They bellowed and charged ahead without hesitation!

The Mountain and Sea crumbled in an instant.

Existence was wiped out, and the majority of Saints dispersed in flight.

Guardian Hill alone kept attempting to halt the onslaught.

Yet lacking Li Fan's unifying will or the backing of True and False Changes, Guardian Hill was merely a standard Saint with average power. Against this disaster, his resistance amounted to a mere splash in the vast waters.

Li Fan paid them no mind and fixed his attention on the Mountain and Sea.

"Success or failure of three lifetimes' labor hinges on this very point."

The Mountain and Sea, battered by the enormous Dao Yan assault, revealed astonishing resilience. A fierce rumble from deep inside the Mountain and Sea momentarily repelled the Dao Yan torrent.

And then...

The exact spectacle of the New God's coming replayed.

All within the Mountain and Sea shattered apart.

Only the essence of the Mountain and Sea endured.

The Mountain and Sea Stone Plate surfaced anew in the realm!

Furthermore, thanks to the immense Dao Yan scale Li Fan triggered this time—vastly surpassing prior ones—the rapid collapse via spiritual veins sped things up dramatically. The petrification of Mountain and Sea didn't stop at the present segment.

It stretched over a full thirty-six segments of Mountain and Sea, encompassing roughly twenty-five million years!

Even measured against the Mountain and Sea's endless ages, this was far from a minor blip.

It resembled ripping a chunk of flesh from one's body by force.

In the midst of this, innumerable lives were extinguished.

And Li Fan, the one who set it all in motion, stayed unmoved, even tossing out a mocking line: "A hero severs his wrist—impressive, truly impressive!"

"Yet it fits my plans exactly!"

The Mountain and Sea Stone Plate, covering twenty-five million years, offered far greater detail than Li Fan's earlier glimpses.

The limitless, eternal Mountain and Sea took on a solid form.

Even a quick look from the Void Realm hinted at being drawn in and disoriented.

Like a towering barrier against the Dao Yan flood in the Void Realm. The waves surged mightily, but for now, they couldn't raise much disturbance.

Li Fan ceased fighting his pull toward the Mountain and Sea Stone Plate.

He actually used this force to stretch his Divine Sense, covering every inch of the Mountain and Sea Stone Plate.

Each tiny detail stood out clearly.

Li Fan dove deep into it, his thoughts drifting endlessly.

Unlike the [Mountain and Sea Change Outline] that merely logs all the facts of mountains and seas, this stone plate born from the mountains and seas themselves provides richer, more precise insights.

"Grasping one reveals the all. But with the mountains and seas' boundless nature, that one must be expansive enough to border on infinity."

Li Fan matched the patterns on the stone plate against the shifts noted in the outline, then aligned them with his notes in the Dao Yi Mountain and Sea Map.

A fresh realization dawned within him.

The lingering brushstroke at last felt within reach.

"Still..."

"Something appears missing."

Li Fan reflected deeply as his Divine Sense kept exploring the Mountain and Sea Stone Plate.

Suddenly, it halted at a trivial "spot."

"What is this..."

In the total ruin, an "outsider" actually lingered on the stone plate made solely from the mountains and seas.

Like a blot of ink on the surface, it clashed with its surroundings.

Yet it blended seamlessly, creating harmony.

This explained why Li Fan's Divine Sense had overlooked its oddity before.

And Li Fan recognized this intruder well.

It was none other than the Mountain and Sea Boundaryless Stele!

"Even as the mountains and seas turn to stone, it endures here."

"Mountain and Sea Without Boundary, eternal from the start. Birth and death, all resolved in this way."

The Divine Sense swiftly withdrew from twenty-five million years of mountains and seas, reshaping into a human figure, and slipped into the Boundaryless Stele.

Repeating the tale, he etched a symbol onto it using his grasp of the Cosmic Reincarnation Path.

The Divine Sense then bound itself to it.

"Good thing I didn't spot the mark I left on the Mountain and Sea Boundaryless Stele sooner. It would've shocked me completely."

"This Mountain and Sea Boundaryless Stele serves as the finishing touch to my artwork, the eye of the dragon."

Gazing at the subtle, faint traces on the Boundaryless Stele, Li Fan sensed a profound awakening in his soul.

"A mountain stays a mountain, a sea remains a sea. Though linked by divine split, they stand as separate wholes. Coexisting, without meddling."

"And with this Mountain and Sea Boundaryless Stele in place..."

"Only then does the mountain and sea truly become [Mountain Sea]."

Li Fan's eyes slowly lit up, and upon fully comprehending it all, a wave of ease washed over his heart, making him burst into laughter.

But the laugh cut short from the thunderous noise outside.

"This sounds like..."

"The Returning God Flood?"

Li Fan's face grew serious.

While he attained insight inside the stone plate, the divine split battle of this age had wrapped up.

Like countless streams flowing into the ocean.

The countless entities of mountains and seas, born from gods, now flowed back to the new god.

The torrent was overwhelming, and the returning force overwhelmed everything.

Even the solidified Mountain and Sea Stone Plate shook under its push, drifting toward the origin of mountains and seas.

If this were his first sight of such a sight, Li Fan would've been terrified into fleeing right away.

But now, Li Fan simply observed with calm composure.

Because the new god's arrival this time was wholly shaped by his own hand.

Thus, Li Fan shed the dread from his initial god encounter.

"A god..."

"Is nothing more than that."

"Shapeable, discardable."

"This embodies the shift between true and false..."

Li Fan meticulously reviewed the many twists across these three lifetimes.

Distilling the requirements for a new god's birth.

"Evidently, Suo's downfall alone isn't sufficient."

"Suo's earlier clashes with All Saints play a crucial role too."

"Why so?"

Though the precise cause eluded him, he had now seized a reliable way to summon a new god's advent.

"Still, drawing from the silver starlight points' warning, it can't be overdone."

"Lest it stirs recollections of past godhood, and even dimly senses Hai Zhen's existence. Which Hai Zhen's resets fail to erase..."

"For me, that's far too risky."

"This lifetime, though, was essential to refine the Dao Yi Mountain and Sea Map."

As Li Fan mulled over this, his mind abruptly halted.

For he noticed that the Mountain and Sea Boundaryless Stele, which had been drifting alongside the Mountain and Sea Stone Plate toward the new god,

Suddenly came to a standstill.
