My Longevity Simulation Chapter 1414: The Truly Kind and Good Mr. Bai
Previously on My Longevity Simulation...
“[Dao Origin] function unlocked.”
“Dao Origin: When [Truth] can be activated, you may designate an area to return alongside you to the state of the established anchor point.”
“Alternatively, you may give up this opportunity to use [Truth] and designate an area to offset [Dao Annihilation].”
...
Li Fan had not yet had time to carefully contemplate the meaning of the prompt regarding [Truth] when countless memories, like scattered points of starlight, suddenly exploded within his mind.
Most were fragmented nodes that flashed past in an instant, lacking any continuity.
But the memories contained within this Eternal Remnant Will skull were simply too numerous. It was as if this eternal remnant will, capable of existing throughout the ages, had been formed from countless different thoughts layered upon one another.
Even with Li Fan's divine soul and willpower being no weaker than that of a True Immortal, he nearly lost himself amid the ceaseless impact of these countless memory fragments, which surged like a mighty river and enormous tide.
Fortunately, [Truth] remained standing firmly within the current, shining brilliantly without changing in the slightest. There were also those extremely rare, yet largest, fragments within the torrent of consciousness.
They were like lamps shining through the white mist, lighthouses upon the endless sea, or the North Star surrounded by countless stars.They continuously guided Li Fan and marked his direction, preventing him from becoming completely lost.
Boom!
Li Fan's consciousness slowly merged into Su Bai's remaining memories.
A world filled with ruins. The air was saturated with a thick smell of blood. It resembled a living hell, with corpses piled across the ground.
There was not the slightest sound between heaven and earth. It was utterly silent.
Blood flowed and gathered into a river.
From the dark red reflection, Li Fan saw the face of this body. It was none other than the Heavenly Doctor.
However, the "Heavenly Doctor" reflected in the river had eyes filled with confusion and fear.
His body trembled uncontrollably.
A voice suddenly sounded within his mind.
The voice was exactly the same as Su Bai's.
Yet it was filled with an evil and sinister quality.
"Well? Are you satisfied?"
"You always wanted to do this. I did it for you."
The Heavenly Doctor's face twisted and trembled. It transformed back into Su Bai's original appearance.
"Something I always wanted to do?" His voice trembled as he questioned in despair.
The Evil Su Bai's voice was filled with mockery.
"Isn't that so? You were originally the Venerable of this world, yet your Heavenly Soul reincarnated into the Xuanhuang Realm, attempting to use the Dao of Medicine to gradually plunge the Xuanhuang Realm into internal chaos, leaving it unable to spare any attention for an expedition..."
"What I did for you is not essentially the same as what that Heavenly Doctor did?"
"Only a little more thorough."
"Hahahahaha..."
The Evil Su Bai's laughter echoed throughout the consciousness space.
"Oh, oh, the real one is here."
"Look at the expression on his face. Truly delightful!"
Su Bai gritted his teeth and cursed furiously.
"You damned beast!"
His anger could no longer be suppressed and erupted like a volcano. His body trembled, and his aura once again transformed into the appearance of Mr. Bai from the Xuanhuang Realm.
The Evil Su Bai continued to taunt him, but his voice gradually grew weaker.
"There's no need to get so angry."
"No matter how many of these ants die, it doesn't matter at all. In my lifetime, I have witnessed things that were billions upon billions of times worse..."
"Hehehe, this is far more brutal than that. At the very least, I was kind enough to leave their corpses behind."
"Besides, I am you, and you are me..."
His voice became as faint as the buzzing of mosquitoes until it could no longer be heard.
Sensing the figure of the Heavenly Doctor hurriedly approaching from nearby, Su Bai's face was filled with pain.
But in the end, he still gritted his teeth and fled at high speed.
...
Within the endless dark void.
Su Bai reached out and touched the High Wall. It seemed as though an invisible barrier blocked his path, preventing him from advancing any farther.
"The High Wall..."
Constant thoughts of urging, excitement, and impatience continuously echoed within his mind.
Su Bai pondered for a moment, then took out the immortal artifacts bestowed by the Immortal Realm, which were part of the legacy of the Xuanhuang Great Celestial Venerable.
He arranged them in a row.
"With this many immortal artifacts self destructing, together with the assistance of the Xuanhuang Realm, it should be enough to help me cross this threshold."
Su Bai hesitated for a long time. In the end, he still detonated the immortal artifacts one after another.
In an instant, countless suns seemed to rise simultaneously at the edge of the star sea. They even illuminated the Darkest Star Sea until it became snow white.
Yet all that boundless light and heat was concentrated upon Su Bai.
His appearance could no longer be seen, and his expression could not be made out. There was only a dazzling white figure.
The figure stepped forward.
It was as if he had vanished into thin air. Part of his body disappeared from sight.
Half of one foot had crossed the constraints of the High Wall. He was about to completely escape from the Darkest Star Sea enclosed by the High Wall.
Yet Su Bai still turned back reluctantly and took one final look at the Xuanhuang Realm.
There were simply too many things there that he could not let go of.
At the moment when Su Bai was lost in thought, countless images suddenly surged into his mind for no apparent reason.
The contents of those images caused this naturally kind-hearted Xuanhuang Great Celestial Venerable's mind to tremble violently.
Mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Countless worlds being destroyed one after another. And the culprit responsible for this heaven shaking massacre actually looked exactly like him!
At the same time, Su Bai sensed an unprecedented feeling of danger within his heart.
His thoughts raced.
Without the slightest hesitation, he actually pulled back the leg that had already crossed the High Wall!
The blazing radiance surrounding his body gradually disappeared.
Still shaken by what had happened, Su Bai paid no attention to the Xuanhuang Realm's consciousness, which had suddenly gone berserk because of his inexplicable change of heart and could not understand what had happened.
"What... exactly was that just now?"
While his expression continued to change, his own voice suddenly sounded within his mind.
Both its tone and cadence...
Were indescribably strange.
"Oh? There is actually another one hiding here."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk..."
"Sure enough, you're still this foolish."
The change in the voice even affected Su Bai's body.
Traces of evil and madness emerged between his brows and eyes.
At the same time, the Xuanhuang Realm's Heavenly Dao consciousness attached to his body also gradually lost its rationality. All kinds of malicious words emerged one after another.
...
Heavenly Sword Sect.
Within the Sword Tomb, countless swords stood upright in the ground.
Upon every sword floated a phantom. These were sword spirits that had naturally developed after being tempered by countless years of time.
And now, this innumerable multitude of sword spirits was confronting the same person.
It was none other than Su Bai, who sat cross legged at the center.
Countless streams of sword qi crisscrossed the area like countless scalpels, cutting apart Su Bai's divine soul and consciousness.
Su Bai's face remained calm throughout.
Yet he could not avoid occasionally revealing a trace of pain.
At the edge of the Sword Tomb, the Heavenly Sword Sect's Eldest Senior Brother, Situ Yao, watched this scene with an inscrutable expression.
He continued drinking, one gulp after another.
Only this time, what flowed from the wine gourd was no longer wine.
It was water.
No one knew how much time passed.
Buzz!
A violent shockwave suddenly erupted from Su Bai's body.
The Sword Tomb instantly became a complete mess.
Countless sword spirits vanished into thin air.
Situ Yao's brows twitched violently.
But this was not the time to feel distressed. He flashed to Su Bai's side.
"Celestial Venerable, how is the situation?"
There was a long silence.
Only after a long while did Su Bai's somewhat weak voice finally sound.
"I severed away all the parts of my divine soul that had been contaminated. For now, it has been suppressed."
"But..."
"Just as that person said, this can only delay things for a period of time. Sooner or later, he will come looking for me again."
Situ Yao's expression became solemn.
"So, are you still willing to continue carrying out that plan? To stake the lives of everyone in your Heavenly Sword Sect?" Su Bai asked softly.
Situ Yao took another large gulp of water from the gourd.
“Even if we stay here, our destruction is only a matter of time.”
“We cultivators of the sword have never feared death.”
“Besides, he is looking for you. We mere ants may not necessarily catch his attention.”
As he spoke, he had already made his decision.
Su Bai’s expression turned solemn. Trembling, he rose to his feet and bowed to Situ Yao with the body of the Xuanhuang Great Celestial Venerable.
Situ Yao accepted the bow calmly.
…
Xuanhuang Realm. Ningyuan City.
The vitality of mortals was as tenacious as that of wild grass.
The ruins of the past had once again developed into a bustling city.
It was even more prosperous than it had been back then.
Su Bai wandered through the streets, an expression of both relief and melancholy on his face.
At last, he had reached the destination of this journey.
His former little house.
Recalling the bits and pieces of what had happened here in the past, Su Bai was filled with emotion.
Looking at those adorable children from back then, who had now grown into adults, Su Bai's eyes were filled with joy once more.
“They should not be deprived of their hope of living.”
“I must die.”
He spoke softly.
“Before I die, let me do one small thing more for this world.”
Defying the principles of Heaven and Earth to prove the Dao of longevity!
A strange transformation descended upon the Xuanhuang Realm.
…
Immortal Ruins.
A tall figure resembling a skeleton was sitting cross-legged upon the earth, at the center of the mysterious character.
A figure silently appeared behind her.
Yet this True Immortal who had comprehended the Dao did not notice anything at all.
That figure was Su Bai!
However, at this moment, he had changed into a black robe. An indescribable madness filled his eyes and brows.
“This is the culprit behind the calamity that brought disaster upon your Xuanhuang Realm, and even this entire Star Sea.”
“Just give me a nod, and I will kill her right now.”
Evil Su Bai flicked his finger against the Hunger Immortal's head, producing a crisp sound.
Yet this True Immortal who had comprehended the Dao did not notice anything whatsoever.
She remained completely immersed in her own comprehension.
In response to Evil Su Bai, there was only a long silence.
Evil Su Bai did not urge either. Instead, he looked around the scene within the Immortal Ruins with great interest.
“You have spent so long comprehending a mere broken [Hunger] character, and this is all you have achieved.”
“I have killed countless pieces of trash like you.”
“And yet, something at this level of trash has brought you thousands of years of suffering…”
His tone was filled with mockery.
“Good? Evil? Do they have any meaning in the face of survival?”
Evil Su Bai raised his foot and repeatedly ground it against the Hunger Immortal's face, trampling her beneath his feet.
He even leaned forward, bringing his face close to hers to examine her.
As if he had thought of something, he occasionally let out a soft chuckle.
Yet the Hunger Immortal remained completely unresponsive from beginning to end.
“Well? Do you believe me now? I wasn't lying to you, was I?”
“Everything you saw was not an illusion.”
“It truly happened.”
“The cruelty of reality far exceeds your imagination.”
“Someone as good-natured as you could never adapt to it. Just leave it to me…”
Although he regarded a True Immortal as nothing more than an ant, Evil Su Bai was exceptionally patient with Mr. Bai of the Xuanhuang Realm.
He kept talking, even becoming somewhat long-winded as he tried to persuade him.
Mr. Bai of the Xuanhuang Realm's voice suddenly rang out.
“You are so powerful…”
“Then why did a single High Wall stop you?”
Evil Su Bai's voice abruptly stopped.
He suddenly exerted force and viciously stomped down.
The Hunger Immortal, who had been sitting cross-legged upon the ground of the Immortal Ruins, was kicked directly onto the ground.
The golden chains wrapped around her body rattled.
…
“So Evil Su Bai was not merely an unfounded fantasy of Mr. Bai.”
“He actually exists?”
Just as Li Fan's true body's consciousness was immersed in the Eternal Remnant Will left behind by Su Bai and was filled with immense shock, his strand of divine sense clone in the Museum of Divine Treasures, under the guidance of Emperor Sanmo, arrived deep within the museum.
They stopped before the ruins of a seemingly ordinary building.
The ruins had been placed together with other historical ruins of the Xuanhuang Realm. There seemed to be nothing particularly special about them.
“Immortal, do you recognize this place?”
Because of the astonishing scenes Li Fan's true body had sensed within Su Bai's Eternal Remnant Will, he seemed somewhat distracted.
Only after a long while did he recover.
“This place…”
After carefully identifying it, Li Fan was slightly stunned.
“Nanming Sacred Beast Mountain?” He looked at the old man beside him and asked somewhat uncertainly.
“Immortal has excellent eyesight.” Emperor Sanmo nodded.
“But this is not the Sacred Beast Mountain of the Xuanhuang Realm. I brought this place here from my homeland and preserved it here.”
“It has already been here for so many years that I no longer know exactly how long it has been.”
Emperor Sanmo's voice was filled with the vicissitudes of time.
Upon hearing this, Li Fan's expression gradually became solemn.
He pondered the meaning behind Emperor Sanmo's words.
“The Xuanhuang Realm originally had no demon beasts.”
“We came here after fleeing from another possibility.”
Emperor Sanmo did not keep him guessing for long and spoke bluntly.
Li Fan's expression trembled slightly.
“An infinite future contains infinite possibilities.”
“But not every possibility can continue forever.”
Emperor Sanmo sighed softly.
“We multiplied and lived in the Xuanhuang Realm for far too long. We had even forgotten our ancient past.”
“We thought we could continue surviving here. Yet we never expected that this place would eventually reach its own end.”
“Thus, Emperor Yi once again led the race onto the road of escape. But this time, I decided not to leave.”
Emperor Sanmo flashed into the ruins.
It was as if he had returned to his former homeland.
“Why?” Li Fan's clone asked curiously.
“Even if the Immortal Ruins hang across the sky here and the Star Sea is declining, this may still be one of the few places that can be considered relatively safe.”
Emperor Sanmo smiled.
Combining Emperor Sanmo's words with what he had seen in the Eternal Remnant Will, Li Fan's eyes narrowed as countless thoughts surged through his mind.
…
Within Su Bai's Eternal Remnant Will.
Li Fan's true body's mind trembled.
Within the memories of the departed Mr. Bai, he saw just how powerful that Evil Su Bai truly was.
Merely a trace of his corruption was enough to allow Su Bai, who was in the Longevity Immortal realm, to possess power capable of crushing a True Immortal.
And as the corruption deepened, Su Bai briefly experienced the true power of Evil Su Bai.
The world was no longer singular.
Instead, countless possibilities existed simultaneously.
Su Bai saw the countless possibilities that emerged within the Xuanhuang Realm after his death.
Amid the countless endings of destruction, it was as if he had glimpsed the only path to survival.
Thus, Li Fan vaguely understood why this Eternal Remnant Will had been established in such a manner.
