My Simulated Road to Immortality Chapter 2391 - 1776: The End (Part 3)
Previously on My Simulated Road to Immortality...
Li Fan, having accomplished his supreme objective and taken the position of God, lingered in a trance for quite a while.
Only then did memories of the past surface in his mind.
His emotions stayed even-keeled, devoid of grief or delight.
"So this is what being God means..."
Upon ascending to godhood, his perception shifted dramatically from what it once was.
As though growing accustomed, the total blackness receded somewhat, allowing him to dimly perceive his environment.
Though the shadows lightened a touch, the vast world held nothing else besides himself.
Desolate and infinite.
Having fulfilled every ambition, Li Fan surprisingly found himself at a loss for what to pursue afterward.
Granted the power of True and False Changes, his determination even surpassed that ability.
This let Li Fan disregard the peril from spectral entities and the erosion of his godly form.
He was capable of enduring indefinitely.
But he existed in solitude.
No companions by his side, no words to exchange.
Merely isolated in the gloom, drifting aimlessly.
"Is this..."
"The eternal life I chased for so long?"
Li Fan fell quiet.
Time slipped by in silence.
Within the obscurity, the glow embodying Li Fan pulsed on and off through innumerable eons.
At last, Li Fan could tolerate it no more.
"How dull..."
Following a deep exhale, Li Fan directed his sight forward.
After an extended pause, he reached a firm resolution.
With one mere intention, the long-vanished Mountain Sea reemerged after an immensely prolonged absence!
However, this instance...
It differed utterly from the previous Mountain Sea.
No more dread of plunging into Endless Samsara meant no interference from Void Realm’s Dao Yan.
Each cycle of rebirth Li Fan had undergone was now revived through his own efforts.
Nevertheless, across all the Mountain Seas, Li Fan's presence was nowhere to be found.
Consequently.
In the Tianxuan Mirror, the Celestial Doctor fractals stared puzzled at the vacant void ahead.
Beyond the Xuanhuang World, the authentic Celestial Doctor, speeding frantically, abruptly halted in bafflement.
He froze briefly, unable to recall the urgent reason for his rush back to the Xuanhuang World.
It felt like a crucial matter had slipped entirely from his memory.
…
The black-robed Celestial Doctor examined his vacant palms, a flicker of confusion in his gaze.
Glancing at the extensive path of ruin he had wrought, his forehead creased deeper.
In an instant's focus, he traversed the Abyss Star Ocean.
As his Divine Sense grazed the True Immortal meditating in the Immortal Ruins, it lingered momentarily.
Displaying a hint of uncertainty, he extended his hand and hoisted the emaciated skeleton of the Hungry Immortal.
Soaring past the High Wall, he navigated a lengthy, empty corridor.
As he raised his eyes toward the terminus.
The Celestial Doctor’s form went rigid, inadvertently releasing his grip on the Hungry Immortal.
Rooted to the spot, he stood stupefied.
On his arrival, Dao Yan had permeated every corner, yet inexplicably, it had vanished!
…
The Mount Sea Saints in pursuit, who were still frantically seeking Hai Zhen, abruptly experienced a moment of disorientation.
Regaining composure quickly, they all reacted with profound astonishment: "What happened to the Mystic Mother Dao? How could it just vanish completely?"
Only Xingfu bore an odd look in his expression.
Bowing his head and knitting his brows, he mulled over it endlessly without clarity: "Hai...Hai Zhen?"
"What exactly is Hai Zhen?"
…
The changes extended beyond merely the Mountain Sea.
Li Fan also fashioned a distinct stellar domain tailored for the Void Realm’s Dao Yan.
Isolated from the Mountain Sea, invisible to one another.
The Star, akin to the dawn's initial ray, cut through the shadows. A beam of starlight resurfaced, casting light across the realm.
Yet the starlight endured only briefly, as if detecting Li Fan’s observing presence.
The radiance abruptly faded, too timid to reveal itself further.
…
"Hahaha, fascinating, truly fascinating!"
His dormant spirit at last awakened.
Li Fan experienced a surge of delight absent for ages.
"They say returning home rich is like flaunting brocade at night—who can tell!"
"Attaining godhood in isolation, what tedium!"
"I desire this boundless ocean to echo my name far and wide!"
Though with his present stature and cultivation, a single notion could alter or manifest anything.
But such ease would prove intolerably monotonous; he yearned to undertake it personally!
With hands clasped behind, exuding assurance and contentment, Li Fan leisurely entered the renewed Mountain Sea.
In that instant, Li Fan halted abruptly.
He regarded the vibrant Mountain Sea ahead, free from apocalyptic peril, and the recognizable figures populating it.
Suddenly, the visage of Shan Fan crossed his thoughts.
A profound insight dawned within: "I plotted against Zhang Fan, yet Shan Fan would never plot against me."
"For he understood that should I prevail, true to my character, I couldn’t endure the agony of perpetual void. Be it for diversion or sheer ennui, in time, I would restore this Mountain Sea."
"Maybe this is..."
"The final kindness he bestowed upon this Mountain Sea."
(The End)
