My Simulated Road to Immortality Chapter 2350: 1754: Watching the Revival of the True God (2)
Previously on My Simulated Road to Immortality...
In the end, it vanished completely into nothingness, consumed by the boundless darkness of Mountain Sea.
With all the rest wiped out, the surviving Saint ought to be filled with triumphant spirit.
Yet in reality, Li Fan sensed a hint of dread emanating from the Mountain Sea right before him.
Back when Sun Piaomiao lingered, Mountain Sea managed to bury its inner terror through ceaseless fierce combats.
However, now its only foe had vanished entirely without a sign.
Soon, Mountain Sea would need to stand against the collapsed True God.
Much like its previous efforts, Mountain Sea pressed on fiercely, exploring every possible way to rescue the situation.
Striving to halt the inevitable Mountain and Sea Meld.
Yet at this point, Mountain Sea was no longer the original Divine Split Mountain Sea.
It had evolved into the unadulterated Mountain Sea, grown through constant devouring.
No other Living Beings survived, and no more scapegoats existed.
In the end, Mountain Sea had no choice but to meet its fate in solitude.
Another billion years slipped by.
Mountain Sea moved from its height down to a slow fade.
Then it merged once more and met its doom.
Beyond Mountain Sea, a faint spark of light began to shimmer into view.
Precisely as foretold in Sun Piaomiao’s vision.
Resembling a solitary star, serving as the divine eye.
Hanging elevated, gazing down, dominating over Mountain Sea.
Mountain Sea trembled in its presence.
In those last instants, it still fought back with wild desperation.
But everything proved pointless.
The very second Mountain Sea finally crumbled away…
Li Fan, having watched it all, abruptly took over the spot Mountain Sea had occupied.
Coming face-to-face with the True God’s stare!
Li Fan could sharply perceive that, using the True and False Dao as his shield, beneath the True God’s immense force, it appeared to groan under strain.
As though it could shatter and fail at any instant.
Evidently, all that Divine Split had swallowed had flowed back to the ruined True God.
The starlight held steady at one point, but its power surged stronger in unseen ways.
The burden weighing on Li Fan intensified.
Even the True and False Dao couldn’t fully shield him; his form slowly crumbled to powder, floating upward toward the lone speck in the heavens.
Just the enduring [True and False Dao] kept battling to hold firm.
Up to this point, Li Fan hadn’t Returned yet, all to confirm a suspicion deep inside.
Namely, did the True and False Dao truly stem from the True God?
From the details already known, everything—every substance, every element in existence—traced back to the fallen True God.
For the True God to rise again, it needed to gather back all that once was its own.
If the True and False Dao truly formed part of the True God, then without doubt, it would revert to the glowing point overhead amid the True God’s rebirth.
Li Fan clung to his being while tracking the shifts in the True and False Dao.
Mountain Sea had fallen, but the True God didn’t manifest right away.
As if just one last step lingered for the revival, simply glowing brighter, more radiant by the moment.
The glow swept wildly, seeking to uncover Li Fan concealed somewhere.
Blinding and intense, overwhelming the sight.
The fiercer the glow grew, the greater its crushing weight and magnetic pull on Li Fan.
At last, accompanied by a sharp breaking noise.
The True and False Dao entirely broke down.
This marked the precise instant Li Fan had awaited with patience.
In that split second of breakdown, Li Fan caught sight of the [Real] dissolving.
Built on [True Yet False] and [False is also True] as main supports, with various other Dao Paths as supports, forming the Immortal Dao Hall.
Beneath the True God’s overwhelming force, it too shattered with a resounding crash.
The remaining Dao Paths all streamed back like shooting stars to the impending True God.
Only the True and False Dao held out until the very end.
Still, differences existed between True and False.
[False is also True] showed clear weakness compared to [True Yet False] in holding out.
Amid the crisis, it was [True Yet False] that laboriously pulled along [False is also True], keeping [Real] intact without pause.
“Ultimately, it confirms what was known from the start. All Laws, all substances spring from God.”
Seeing this, Li Fan let out a heavy sigh in his thoughts.
With the link between True and False on the verge of snapping under the True God’s tug, Li Fan wasted no more time.
Silently invoking Real.
A ray of light burst forth one after another from [True Yet False] and [False is also True].
The shine of that light, the force of its purpose.
Right then, it appeared to outshine the glow filling the sky.
[True Yet False] acted like an unseen hand, erasing the starlight spanning the heavens.
[False is also True] served like a sacred brush, restoring the destroyed Mountain Sea.
A mere moment, or a billion years.
The realm, once barren from the True God’s awakening, brimmed with life anew.
Li Fan Returned, securing a full year!
After dodging the True God’s reach multiple times, Li Fan felt no more fear or worry.
Instead, he had started to adapt.
Now, he stayed composed, reflecting on the previous life he had seen.
“The ruined True God and the [Star] born from the finished Mountain Sea scheme truly differ.”
“Naturally, without my interference, the perfected Mountain Sea plan could have fully ascended. Turned into [God].”
“Yet due to my grasp on [Real], secretly keeping the Truth and False Dao that came from the True God, the Mountain Sea’s change and rise stayed flawed. It only reached Star level, not worthy of being deemed God.”
“Earlier, I viewed [Star] and [God] as the same, mainly because both Star and God wield such tyrannical might, rejecting outsiders, with strength vastly beyond Mountain Sea’s Living Beings—once they appear, Living Beings stand no chance.”
“I simply couldn’t spot the gap between Star and God.”
“Likely, across all of Mountain Sea, I alone have grasped it.”
“The key difference rests solely in [True and False].”
With that thought, Li Fan couldn’t help recalling the Emperor of the Celestial Net from the Primordial Immortal Realm.
Before, he thought the Emperor of the Celestial Net guided the Immortal World to vanish together, maybe achieving escape from Mountain Sea.
But now, confronting the Star and the approaching True God, he at last comprehended.
All followed the fixed narrative of Mountain Sea—how could anything transcend beyond Mountain Sea?
Beyond the Mountain Sea tale lay the actual Mountain Sea, lying in wait hungrily.
“Fleeing for a brief while would just lead to ruin, then a pull back into the Mountain Sea tale.”
“The sole act the Emperor of the Celestial Net could manage…”
“was to turn himself and the Immortal World into fuel after the fall, redirecting as much as feasible to the prior Living Beings.”
“This could explain why, post the Primordial Immortal Realm’s end, the surviving Living Beings’ talents soared.”
Li Fan gave a faint shake of his head: “Regardless, the prison forged by those four endgame words isn’t broken so simply?”
“Even after endless reincarnations, merging True and False Dao, uncovering every real secret beneath…”
“In little time, I still can’t uncover a path to shatter the deadlock.”
Li Fan’s brow furrowed a bit, a touch of weariness creeping in.
How to finally destroy the God?
By one’s own means, forging myriad Saints to strike as one?
Beneath the True God’s light, every Saint would dissolve like melting frost.
“Born from the True God in the first place, how could they oppose the True God?”
“Mountain Sea’s outcome has already shown this truth.”
“The God’s downfall…”
Li Fan’s eyes grew profound, peering past Xuan Huang to the dawn of time.
“Maybe only by following Sun Piaomiao’s path, venturing to the era of Divine Split, can one faintly catch the enigma of the God’s collapse.”
