My Simulated Road to Immortality Chapter 2372: 1765: Zhen Shi Yin (Part 2)
Capítulo 2372: Chapter 1765: Zhen Shi Yin (Part 2)
“Of course, they may not truly realize what they have done even in their dreams.”
Zhang Fan remained silent, once again gazing at the tree built by countless “selves.”
Zhen Shi Yin seemed to perceive Zhang Fan’s thoughts and suddenly proposed, “Letting them be freed is not impossible. In fact, you can personally put an end to all this.”
Upon hearing this, Zhang Fan was moved but did not immediately respond.
“The True and False Dao is invisible and intangible. Although it can be used to some extent through the Heavenly Destiny Child, it holds no real significance. On the contrary, if you can gain an ally capable of turning the tide, it would be well worth it,” Zhen Shi Yin said with a calm expression but an earnest tone.
“So, what is your purpose?” Zhang Fan looked at the other, inquiring.
“To seize the True and False Changes and return to divinity,” Zhen Shi Yin only spoke eight words.
Zhang Fan fell into contemplation.
After a long while, Zhang Fan finally voiced his confusion, “What difference does the True and False Changes make to me, to the Gods? Isn’t it all about the Mountain Sea’s destruction and reincarnation?”
Zhen Shi Yin’s gaze was deep, “Past and present, there may be no difference. But the future…”
After being silent for a while, seemingly pondering something, once he was sure of the result, Zhen Shi Yin continued, “When the True and False Changes are with the Gods, the Mountain Sea’s destruction is not true destruction. Death is the beginning of life, and life is the beginning of death. Reincarnation is endless, the future is boundless.”
“But if the True and False Changes are with him…” Zhen Shi Yin did not look at Zhang Fan.
Instead, he looked up, towards the general location of Li Fan’s original seclusion in the [All Gods Transformation] world outside the Mountain Sea.
“The Mountain Sea will be entirely gone, reincarnation will cease, and all will belong to one person.”
“This is the conclusion we have seen.”
Hearing this, Zhang Fan’s body and mind were greatly shaken.
“Reincarnation will cease, and all will belong to one person?”
These eight words seemed to have infinite magic power. Even while being in the party to be subsumed, Zhang Fan couldn’t help but be slightly entranced.
But he quickly regained his senses and, somewhat in disbelief, asked, “Can he really achieve such a state?”
Zhen Shi Yin nodded, “These countless split Heavenly Destiny Children are the best evidence. Though now it’s merely beginning to show signs, if not stopped…”
“The only path awaiting us is destruction.”
“Destruction…” Hearing this, Zhang Fan suddenly recalled the old fisherman, Xuan Yuanhong, and others who had abruptly disappeared because of him.
This might give a glimpse of the true way “he” acts. Zhang Fan involuntarily believed a bit more.
Then he immediately furrowed his brow and asked, “What kind of person exactly is he? Since you know about the Mountain Sea Reincarnation, you should also be very familiar with him, right?”
Zhen Shi Yin denied Zhang Fan’s assumption, “When the True and False Dao descends, the Mountain Sea Reincarnation starts. Everything within the Mountain Sea inevitably faces a reset in fate.”
“Even the True and False Dao is like this!”
“Though we have a small cultivation base, how could we escape such a fate? It’s just that, with many repetitions of reincarnation, a tiny few can vaguely sense something.”
“For instance, a [premonition] as if having experienced the events of the past. At the beginning of the Mountain Sea’s re-emergence, this premonition is the weakest. Only as the Mountain Sea evolves does the sense continue to accumulate, allowing the recall of more memories. Therefore, although I now understand the Mountain Sea Reincarnation, I will still lose all awareness as the Mountain Sea resets and repeat past foolish acts…” Zhen Shi Yin mocked himself.
“If that’s the case for me, what of them?” He was referring to the Mountain Sea Saints still observing and introspecting beneath the tree.
Detecting the unexpectedness in the other’s words, Zhang Fan solemnly asked, “May I dare ask, Daoist, what realm are you exactly?”
“All are in the Realm of the Saint. However, unlike the vast majority of them, I once achieved a [Divine Body].”
“You could refer to it as, a [God creation Guest].”
God.
Such a solemn and weighty word, yet Zhen Shi Yin spoke it lightly, as if it were of no concern.
Zhang Fan naturally knew that everything in the Mountain Sea originated from the fallen True God and understood the weight of the word [God].
Considering the cultivator before him, who had once achieved the divine fruit status, the intangible pressure he felt from his opponent seemed to increase a bit more.
“Actually, strictly speaking, it cannot be considered a True God either.” As if perceiving the changes in Zhang Fan’s thoughts, Zhen Shi Yin smiled and explained.
He sighed lightly, “Mountain Sea Reincarnation should not have a [God creation Guest].”
“The old gods fall, the Mountain Sea emerges. When the Mountain Sea ceases, new gods arise.”
“New gods have always replaced the old.”
“Once a god, eternally a god. Either exist in the name of a god or fall, never to be seen.”
“And as for the so-called [God creation Guest]…”
“They are Mountain Sea Saints who go against the flow to the time of the Mountain Sea’s Divine Split, forcibly seizing the creation of the old god. Yet they are reset by the lingering of the True and False Dao.”
“Although returned to common, they eventually lived for a period under the name of a god, becoming subtly different from other beings in the Mountain Sea.”
“But only just somewhat.”
Zhen Shi Yin offered a long explanation, detailing the various aspects of a [God creation Guest] to Zhang Fan.
“Only a God creation Guest can, within the Mountain Sea Reincarnation, perceive the truth. From what you have said, the old fisherman and his peers might all be [God creation Guests]?”
Understanding the background, Zhang Fan, recalling his days of closely interacting and even taking for granted the God creation Guests, felt the pressure from Zhen Shi Yin ease dramatically.
Heaving a sigh of relief, he became increasingly astonished by the power of the True and False Dao.
Even though once “possessed,” and even now still by his side, Zhang Fan also felt the powers of the [True and False Dao] somewhat exceeded his imagination.
Suddenly, recalling a sentence Zhen Shi Yin had mentioned earlier, he felt something was amiss.
“You just said that everything in the Mountain Sea cannot escape the reset fate, even the True and False Dao. If this is true…” Zhang Fan’s brows furrowed tightly.
“Theoretically speaking, shouldn’t he also be reset along with it? How could he…”
In one sentence, Zhen Shi Yin cut off Zhang Fan’s words, simultaneously dispelling his doubts, “That is because he is an [Outsider].”
“So that’s how it is, so that’s how it is.”
Zhang Fan murmured repeatedly.
With a deep tone, Zhen Shi Yin continued, “Once, at the end of the Mountain Sea, a multitude of God creation Guests, regaining the majority of their awareness, gathered to discuss the source of the reset.”
“Yet they could never fathom it.”
“After all, though we have achieved divine bodies, we are nonetheless reset and restored each time.”
“All things in the world come from the gods. Yet even gods can be reset by the True and False Dao. This seems completely inexplicable.”
“Then, as the Mountain Sea faced another destruction, we suddenly realized.”
“[True and False] is indeed a power from which even gods find it hard to escape.”
“Although originating from the True God’s body, even the True God itself is affected by it. We speculate that perhaps this was a divine technique intrinsic to the True God, which is also the fundamental origin of Mountain Sea Reincarnation.”
“Even after falling and perishing, it could rely on the [True and False] Dao, reappear from the void, returning to the original state. Undying and indestructible, this is [God].”
From Zhen Shi Yin’s descriptions, Zhang Fan seemed to faintly glimpse the imposing might of the True God that gave birth to all Mountain Sea.
But swiftly, the tone shifted.
“If the True and False Changes reside in the God itself, naturally everything is understandable.”
“But…”
“For some reason, the [True and False] ended up in the hands of an Outsider.”
“Divine authority was ceded and, because it emanated from an Outsider, it could avoid the fate of reset. The True and False Changes in his hands had an impact even surpassing [God].”
Zhang Fan vaguely sensed a hint of subtle fear hidden in Zhen Shi Yin’s words.
“With a single thought, he could reverse everything you and I know. Returning to the beginning, he could carry old memories while you know nothing.”
“How can such an opponent be fought against?”
“Countless reincarnations have passed, and we’ve seen no hope of breaking this predicament. Until…”
“Your appearance, Daoist.”
