My Simulated Road to Immortality Chapter 2349 - 1754: Watching the Return of the True God
Previously on My Simulated Road to Immortality...
Navigating the domain of Mountain Sea proves to be a grueling path, persisting right up to the era of the Mountain Sea's Divine Split. Only then does a view into the core of Mountain Sea become possible.
Sun Piaomiao's power stands unquestioned.
Yet in the end, he stands no chance against the freshly separated True God, the mightiest force in Mountain Sea. Once spotted by them, his doom becomes clear.
Therefore, Sun Piaomiao gets transformed into an instrument designed to shatter the deadlock in Mountain Sea.
From behind the Void Realm, he commands the endless Dao Yan, utterly wiping out Mountain Sea and sending it back to the Lone Star.
"Maybe it's solely through Mountain Sea's self-awareness and perception that the Dao Yan can be born."
"Truth be told, even absent the Dao Yan from the Void Realm, the True God Finger's dominance would prevent Mountain Sea from avoiding its fated merger. Still, considering Mountain Sea's vast original size, the duration required for full breakdown stretched far too long. So extended that Mountain Sea couldn't bear the wait, dreading unforeseen twists."
"That's how the catastrophe brought by the Void Realm's Dao Yan came to pass."
As Sun Piaomiao keeps consuming the terrains of Mountain Sea without stop, swift realizations flash across Li Fan's spiritual awareness.
"The Ruyi Heart isn't the divine Eye of God as I imagined. Instead, it's a fragment of Mountain Sea torn away from Sun Piaomiao. Deprived of this piece, Sun Piaomiao holds onto just one purpose, faithfully carrying out the Dao Yan's scheme to swallow everything."
"In the end, Sun Piaomiao's power was once aligned with the essence of Creation. Should he assume the role of the Void Realm's Master..."
"Mountain Sea itself would need to give ground a bit."
"What we're seeing right now serves as the ultimate evidence!"
Numerous swirling Dao Yan funnels entwine, fully engulfing and shrouding the entire Mountain Sea.
Sun Piaomiao positions himself over the massive surge.
Over his crown, innumerable star gleams intensify steadily, climbing higher without cease.
Dragged unwillingly into the narrative by Sun Piaomiao, Mountain Sea loses its former invulnerability.
Beams of starlight descend as one, resembling a barrage of razor-sharp myriad blades, all stabbing downward in harmony.
Sun Piaomiao makes no move to evade or flee, his features twisted in a savage, wild grin.
While hordes of star rays wound him deeply, he turns his form into a conduit, channeling the True God Finger toward the unending stellar glow overhead.
Mountain Sea possesses the ability to fool everyone across the world, and even to fool its own essence.
Beyond the confines of the story, it might have tricked the True God Finger as well.
However, at this point, they've already tumbled into ruin. Escape from the True God Finger's control remains impossible.
Exactly as Mountain Sea had predicted eons ago.
Within the infinite glow, countless figures appear to merge into layers upon layers.
The strange illumination gradually dims.
Replacing it comes the vision of Mountain Sea drawing together and breaking apart.
Boundless chains of peaks and streams, immense and limitless waters.
The vision of Mountain Sea materializes and takes shape inside the Void Realm.
Across existence, just a single Mountain Sea endures.
With the arrival of the authentic Mountain Sea, the illusory performer version disappears in a flash, breaking free from the tight Dao Yan siege.
Merging once more with its severed portion into unity.
Mountain Sea's power surges, resembling its peak glory right after the Divine Split, with roars of mountains and upheavals of seas echoing, momentarily repelling the onslaught of Dao Yan tides.
Yet...
Any splendor is nothing but a mirage.
From the instant they revert to their primal state, the cycle of destined merging restarts.
Regardless of how they've dodged it through endless epochs, the inevitable fate will strike without fail.
An outcome sealed for total destruction.
This round marks no mere practice run, but the genuine doomsday ready to unfold upon Mountain Sea.
Sun Piaomiao, as the Void Realm's Master, beholds it all, looking as though a deep grudge has been settled, his demeanor frenzied as he erupts in wild, unchecked guffaws.
Immediately after, the Dao Yan forces move as one under orders, pressing forward relentlessly to engulf and consume.
Stepping from the shadows to the forefront, even with Mountain Sea's plot foiled, it reaches its zenith of strength.
While Sun Piaomiao hauls the stars down to the worldly plane and gulps down the bulk of Mountain Sea, his own vigor hits its highest peak.
Fueled by mutual, unyielding hatred, they clash in a fight to the finish!
Unlike the myriad instances Li Fan observed across the cycles of Dao Yan and Mountain Sea's wars, this arena feels vaster and more brutal.
Every clash rivals the prior clashes where the Void Realm sealed off and struck at the spirit vein of Mountain Sea.
Each faction pours everything in, aiming for a quick resolution to the fray, vowing to eliminate the foe right there.
For Mountain Sea, Sun Piaomiao—this simple implement—not only turned traitor but wrecked their epic quest for divinity. A crime that demands execution.
For Sun Piaomiao, he started as the Medicine King tasked with mending, but now he's compelled to unleash devastation on all life. Every act of consumption feels like pure agony. Amid the Mountain Sea calamity and the billions-year-old tale, he dwells in eternal torment. This grudge allows no compromise.
When foes face off, their gazes ignite with rage.
Mountain Sea and Dao Yan ignore their own depletion, heedless of long-term profits or setbacks.
Focused only on bringing about the other's demise!
Boom boom boom!
Mountain Sea submerges, plummets into Dao Yan. It triggers massive disturbances.
Beams and shades interlace, as Mountain Sea shifts from phantom to solid, banishing the endless gloom.
It's like squeezing the eternal feud between Mountain Sea and Dao Yan, spanning billions of years, down to just a handful of days.
Every instant's chaos and impact bursts forth with savage intensity.
Li Fan feels as though he's under a cascade spanning thousands of zhang.
Myriad enormous drums pound at once, their thunderous roar echoes. In the midst of impacts, a deep bass vibration lingers.
Undulations resembling crashing colossal swells, every surge bears the force to capsize worlds.
Against these horrifying combat spectacles, Li Fan's True and False Transformation resembles a flimsy reed mantle in a storm of wind and downpour, liable to scatter in the next gust.
Given his present power, lacking the shield of the True and False Dao, he'd meet instant oblivion.
Still, he refrains from hastily snapping back to the real world.
First off, amid the battle's deadliest phases, suddenly reentering reality would pull focus from both Mountain Sea and Sun Piaomiao at once. Heightening dangers manifold.
Second...
Li Fan yearns to behold the resurgence of that toppled True God!
"Let not the fierce combat fool you; it's just the desperate thrashing of cornered creatures in a trap."
"Win or lose, it changes nothing about the final outcome."
"With Mountain Sea's plan to end the impasse in ruins, their path leads straight to rejoining the True God."
"The fiercer the attacks grow, the clearer their helpless fury shines through."
With these thoughts, Li Fan views Mountain Sea's hidden machinations as far less daunting than before.
The colossal conflict drags on without apparent end.
Yet throughout, Li Fan sharply detects the ongoing diminishment in the scope of both Dao Yan and Mountain Sea.
And overhead...
In the spot where Mountain Sea once loomed distant and concealed, a fearsome presence stirs to life.
The brutal contest endures for an indeterminate span, though ultimately, Mountain Sea's base holds a slight edge.
Driven by the looming call to reascend to Godhood, the genuine Mountain Sea deploys a host of godly arts Li Fan has yet to encounter.
The essence of Mountain Sea takes pure form: peaks claim dominance, oceans capture boundlessness.
Amid Mountain Sea's blending together, various wonders emerge vividly.
A formation of breathtakingly splendid summits emerges from the depths, as if poised to crush eternity itself.
Billows crash without end, climbing ever taller and flipping skyward.
...
Clearly, against the looming True God revival, Mountain Sea taps every option, developing defenses. Wielding all available methods.
Even as he journeys back along a portion of Mountain Sea's timeline and sees anew, in his role as Void Realm Master, the shift of Mountain Sea from being to nothingness.
Still, Sun Piaomiao starts to falter beneath the endless innovations freshly forged by Mountain Sea.
