My Simulated Road to Immortality Chapter 2374: 1766: External Perspective (Part 2)
Capítulo 2374: Chapter 1766: External Perspective (Part 2)
“Whether our plans succeed or fail, they will inevitably reappear with the reset of Mountain Sea.” Zhen Shi Yin stood beside Zhang Fan, speaking gently.
In fact, there was no need for consolation from others.
The shock in his heart lasted only a few brief moments before Zhang Fan’s attention focused on the boundless True and False Dao before him.
Originally tied to millions of Heavenly Destiny Children.
Now it flowed gently, all returning to Zhang Fan’s mouth.
The vision gradually brightened.
The Apocalypse Mountain Sea was no longer shrouded in darkness; everything seemed traceable.
In front of Zhang Fan, a scroll appeared.
Everything once belonging to Mountain Sea was in this scroll.
However, with the erosion of Dao Yan, the Mountain Sea scenery in the scroll slowly turned transparent.
In the eyes of ordinary people, Mountain Sea seemed to disappear.
But to the holder of the True and False Dao, it would reveal itself again with the reinjection of power!
“This is the [Mountain and Sea Change Outline].”
Deeply attracted by this mystical scene, Zhang Fan murmured to himself as if in realization.
But that was not all.
Outside the Mountain and Sea Scroll, a figure seemed to vaguely stand—a Scroll Holder.
All the transformations within the scroll, even the scroll itself, were under this person’s control.
Having carefully memorized all details within the Mountain and Sea Scroll, Zhang Fan struggled to pierce through the scroll’s blockade, attempting to gaze at the Scroll Holder.
Due to this transgression, the Mountain and Sea Scroll began to tremble intensely.
The Mountain Sea surged forward, attempting to obscure Zhang Fan’s probing gaze.
Zhang Fan harnessed his mastery of the True and False Dao to suppress all disturbances. His goal remained unchanged, vowing to gaze at the Scroll Holder outside the painting.
The clash of two forces ripped, inch by inch, the Mountain and Sea Scroll apart.
Simultaneously, Zhang Fan’s Divine Soul seemed to have countless small cracks, teetering on the verge of collapse.
This was not merely physical damage but the backlash from the True and False Changes, with the foundation of his existence continually eroding.
Longevity and Wangji, two Mountain Sea Dao forces, were strenuously repairing the cracks in Zhang Fan’s Divine Soul.
Though a mere drop in the bucket, it extended Zhang Fan’s time to probe.
Finally, Zhang Fan’s vision pierced through the Mountain and Sea image barrier to see the Scroll Holder.
Boom boom boom!
As if his Divine Soul suffered a violent collision, all the Mountain Sea scene and even the surrounding Void Realm Dao Yan faded into the background, becoming unimportant and receding from view.
Even myriad Dao Paths, including the True and False Dao, seemed like mere fleeting clouds.
In Zhang Fan’s eyes, only one figure remained.
In that instant, he saw himself.
And…
A dense shadow floating over him.
God Slaying Transformation World.
When Zhang Fan broke through layers of obstruction and, through the True and False Changes portal, gazed at Li Fan simultaneously.
Li Fan, in turn, borrowed the other’s gaze, for the first time, observing himself from an external perspective.
And similarly discovered the dense shadow floating upon himself.
Clearly having stripped away all experiences and memories since Reincarnation, leaving only the pure state at the time of crossing.
Yet inexplicably, there was still some other foreign object present overhead!
For reasons unknown, when Li Fan suddenly witnessed this scene, he felt little surprise.
All had been anticipated long ago.
Indeed, to him, it seemed rather incredible if there were no backup plans for himself.
“I just don’t know if this dense shadow stems from my past self, or…”
“The fallen True God.”
The gaze exchange between Li Fan and Zhang Fan lasted only a brief moment.
After the [Outside Vision] vanished, Li Fan could no longer observe the shadow that perpetually loomed above his head.
It seemed as if it never existed, and even with the aid of the True and False Changes, it couldn’t be reproduced in Spirit Consciousness.
Even the memory of this shadow’s existence in Spirit Consciousness was slowly fading.
After several attempts to stop it, realizing it was futile, Li Fan decided to seize the last few moments to deduce the origin of the shadow.
First, rule out the scheming by past Li Fan.
“My current understanding of the True and False Dao is nearly at the pinnacle of Mountain Sea. Even compared to my past self, I am not much weaker.”
“I don’t believe he had the power to achieve such a feat.”
“Existing unbeknownst, unseen, unremembered.”
“Transcending beyond Mountain Sea, beyond cognition.”
“True God Shadow…”
In just a moment, Li Fan made a judgment.
“Still based on prior knowledge.”
“This world lies within Endless Reincarnation.”
“Even True Gods struggle to persist. As ages pass, new consciousness splits within. Whether it emerges from devoured Divine or purely from new evolution.”
“Ultimately, the old God falls, the New God descends, this is destiny.”
“To call it a fall, it may as well be a return. Because…”
“[God], seems to possess singularity. Once attaining godhood, God is God.”
“With the cycle turning to the era of Mountain Sea Divine Split.”
“Things began to change.”
“Mountain Sea is merely a prelude to the evolution of the New God, consisting of two split consciousness intentions, existing only as a transition during the True God’s demise and resurrection.”
“But having foreseen their inevitable demise. Unwilling, they attempted to reverse fate.”
“Stage a grand play, deceive Heaven and Earth, transform into Stars. If the performance concludes perfectly, they will replace the destined God to become the New God…”
At this point of deduction, Li Fan’s thoughts slightly stalled.
The True God Shadow was vanishing ever faster, urging him to hasten his deduction.
“God is singular. But who specifically becomes God, seems not singular.”
“On the original list of those destined for godhood, Mountain Sea’s name was absent. Yet they forcibly attempted change…”
“True God’s power is infinite, knowing past, present, future. Foreseeing future changes at the brink of demise.”
“Thus pulling me, without origin, as the actor outside the play, to break the cycle.”
“But…”
“Is that all?”
In an instant, a cold gleam flashed in Li Fan’s eyes.
“With God’s foresight, they must see everything that happens after I successfully tear apart the Mountain Sea play.”
“Just as Zhen Shi Yin and the others said.”
“Mountain Sea’s destruction, Reincarnation no more, all returns to me.”
“…”
“This is not the outcome that True God desired.”
“Sacrificing oneself solely to break the Endless Reincarnation of this Heaven and Earth, fulfilling me, an outsider?”
“Would God be so kind-hearted?”
Li Fan snorted coldly.
He immediately dismissed this possibility.
“But that True God still did it without hesitation.”
“Only because…”
“They are certain of my ability to tear apart the Mountain Sea play and extinguish the descending Star, yet ultimately unable to slay the God.”
“God’s foresight, witnessing all future. Despite exhausting all possibilities, unable to foresee that moment when I succeed in slaying the God. Thus, they proceeded.”
“Dragging me into labor, even scheming me to take their fall…”
“This is truly excessive.”
Li Fan’s heart no longer held the anger from earlier upon discovering the truth.
Just a helpless laugh.
But behind the laughter, Li Fan’s gaze was colder than ever.
“The reason for the sole conclusion is truly the True God Shadow atop my head?”
With the remaining time, Li Fan tried to deduce a countermeasure as much as possible.
The ink faded completely, the shadow was no more.
Li Fan’s expression revealed a moment of confusion.
“It seems…”
“Something extremely important was forgotten.”
Feeling that inexplicable trembling in his heart, Li Fan pondered profoundly.
“Do you have any clues?”
He looked at the Hai Zhen phantom standing aside.
The Hai Zhen phantom lacked subjective awareness, only capable of mechanical responses.
To answer Li Fan’s question, layers of light tried to trace back.
But ultimately, it yielded nothing.
However, Li Fan’s expression showed little change.
“Sometimes, having no answer itself is the answer.”
“I’ve already attained the peak of this world, and such strange phenomena can happen only because of…”
“Only [God].”
“It matters not, forgotten or remembered.”
