My Simulated Road to Immortality Chapter 2348 - 1753: Star Falls into Luo Fanchen (Part 2)

Mountain Lian and Gui Hai, their faces devoid of emotion, steadfastly stood in the path of the swiftly falling True God Finger.

Even though the Three Saints possessed great power, Li Fan had no faith that they could halt the True God Finger's advance.

However, events unfolded in a way Li Fan hadn't foreseen.

A beam of Radiance burst forth from the forms of Mountain Lian and Gui Hai.

Then, the last glimmer arose from Mountain Sea itself.

These three rays of light combined, crafting a Ruyi that materialized in an instant!

"Ruyi Heart?"

The instant the Ruyi came into view, Li Fan instinctively remembered its title.

He also grasped that this was the very item which had relentlessly pursued him throughout the Void Realm!

"Sure enough, it stems from the Three Saints."

"Employing the Eye of God to oppose the True God Finger?" Li Fan pondered immediately.

The emergence of the Ruyi Heart sparked a disturbance much like the one earlier.

The Void Realm plunged into utter chaos, waves upon waves rippling uncontrollably. It even paused its effort to consume Mountain Sea, surging wildly toward the Ruyi Heart instead.

Yet on this occasion, Mountain Lian and Gui Hai refrained from withdrawing the Ruyi right away.

Instead, they allowed it to hover calmly amid the whirlwind of the tempest.

Li Fan vaguely perceived that the Two Saints were straining to control the Ruyi Heart, guiding it to be engulfed by the Void Realm.

"Mountain Sea opted to transform into the Lone Star in order to shatter the True God Finger."

"To fool the True God Finger, the act must be complete. When the great performance commences, Mountain Sea will cease to be Mountain Sea, becoming fully the Lone Star. The role will be entirely assumed."

"Mountain Sea lingers in existence solely as a performer fulfilling a storyline, with the Void Realm's Dao Yan serving as the mechanism to advance the narrative."

"Since this drama feels authentic, Mountain Sea remains unaware of its role as an actor. Thus, amid the Dao Yan's corrosion, its instinct for survival will still stir."

"It is only when the storyline fractures and the show stops that Mountain Sea discovers its true self. This explains why Mountain Sea turned against me after vanquishing Dao Yan in the past."

"And at this moment..."

Li Fan glanced upward discreetly.

Starlight poured down, only to be obstructed by the True God Finger.

Mountain Sea prepared to reunite once more, following the scripted path as planned.

Despite Li Fan's meddling, which introduced numerous uncertainties,

In the end, these changes failed to alter the conclusion.

"Everything stays within the script, so Mountain Sea remains ignorant of its genuine identity."

Li Fan's gaze narrowed abruptly, locking onto the spot where Dao Yan amassed, right at the Ruyi Heart's position.

During this life, Mountain Sea underwent a never-before-seen cycle of union, division, and reunion.

The True God Finger altered its course twice, evolving into a spectacle unfamiliar to Li Fan.

Dao Yan crashed like tides, persistently battering and wearing down the Ruyi Heart.

The Ruyi's glow slowly faded, and in the hushed dissolution deep within the Void Realm, a certain will seemed to rouse swiftly.

The whole Void Realm sprang to life!

"It seems my earlier assumption was only partially right."

"Upon encountering the Ruyi Heart, the Void Realm truly transforms. Thus, its craving for the Ruyi surpasses even the duty to absorb Mountain Sea."

"However, the shift isn't toward advancing to godhood directly. Rather..."

"The Void Realm, functioning as a narrative-propelling instrument, stirs to awareness—or more accurately, recovers its primal mind!"

Ever since Mountain Sea's inception, the eternally shadowy Void Realm had been profoundly still, but now that changed.

The corrosive force of destruction from Dao Yan began to withdraw bit by bit.

Previously resembling an endless horde in the Void Realm's Dao Yan, it now saw countless troops unite into a single entity.

A contorted form silently took shape.

As it regarded Mountain Sea, a hint of disgust flashed in its gaze. Yet in the end, it extended to block the soaring True God Finger!

More accurately, it was delaying the inevitable.

Though the True God Finger could not be halted, it now appeared mired in an interminable swamp of Dao Yan.

The beam kept streaking onward yet failed to exit the bounds of the Void Realm.

"This entity..."

Li Fan detected a sense of recognition from this silhouette.

It all arose from a fierce rage and animosity directed at the Lone Star.

"The Void Realm's Dao Yan was forged by Mountain Sea to push the story along."

"But the true origin of this instrument..."

"Following the Divine Split, nothing but Mountain Sea ought to remain in existence."

Having briefly impeded the True God Finger, the Void Realm's form turned its attention away from Mountain Sea.

It then soared haughtily beyond the skies.

Toward the Outer World, where the faint Lone Star dwelled!

A torrent of waves burst suddenly from the Void Realm's figure.

Every surge acted like a sharp edge slashing violently at the divide between fact and fiction.

One veil after another of dark shrouds appeared to peel away amid this fierce clash.

The once-faded starlight actually intensified somewhat.

"This is..."

"Drawing the Star into the drama?"

Li Fan felt a surge of delight at this unexpected emergence of a possible comrade sharing his views.

Nevertheless, he decided to observe silently for the time being.

Since the Void Realm figure's true nature was still unknown, and its arrival so peculiar.

In the Vault of Heaven beneath, the starlight shone more vividly.

The True God Finger, caught in the Void Realm figure's hold, once more detected the Starlight's aura.

Its focus switched from Mountain Sea, zeroing in on the concealed Lone Star.

At last, Li Fan comprehended: "Hiding beyond the script might trick the True God Finger. But once inside the script, evasion from its detection becomes impossible!"

The Void Realm figure, with waves throbbing, drew in the starlight.

Unlike typical beings who warp under Starlight's taint, it grew deeper and more enigmatic.

Still, it refrained from claiming the Starlight for itself.

On the contrary, it channeled it straight into the present Mountain Sea!

Stream after stream of starlight flowed, lacking the overbearing force of the Lone Star's full appearance. Instead, it echoed the broad radiance that Mountain Sea displayed after conquering Dao Yan long ago.
