My Simulated Road to Immortality Chapter 2383 - 1771: Divine Flavor
Previously on My Simulated Road to Immortality...
The shattering of Mountain and Sea leads it back to the Star. Such is destiny, an inevitable conclusion.
Though every Saint unites their powers, they manage only a brief alteration of events.
Yet the God creation Guests seek simply to postpone the inevitable for as long as feasible.
Apart from granting sufficient duration for the Eternal Void World to cultivate the True and False Waymarks, they also pursue the core resolution against the termination of Returning to God.
The lifespan of Mountain and Sea endures greatly, yet it appears barely adequate.
Spanning from the dawn of Mountain and Sea to the conclusion of eras, it covers a vast one trillion six hundred billion years in total.
The fragments of Mountain and Sea disturbed by the Dao Yan assault number in the millions.
Reconstructing even a portion of Mountain and Sea demands an immense undertaking, calling upon the combined labors of numerous Saints.
Nevertheless, what once appeared utterly impossible advances with surprising swiftness.
Countless clones of Zhang Fan, infused with True Spirit and Divine Technique, resolve the supply challenges for All Saints within the Void Realm.
The God creation Guests together with The Primordial Saint direct and manage the broader circumstances.
A trillion years' worth of fractured Mountain and Sea slowly mends piece by piece.
Even the Saints who engaged from start to finish find it astonishing upon reflection.
"Before, I mocked the notion of restoring Mountain and Sea. Yet now, it hardly appears challenging!"
"With All Saints banding together and setting aside every conflict, such unity was nearly unthinkable. I wonder what schemes those God creation Guests truly weave in alliance."
"Leave it be, no point dwelling on it. It only brings needless fretting. I've toiled endlessly; once the mending finishes, I crave true repose." "
"Almost there, almost there."
Beneath the watchful eyes of everyone, the ultimate crack in Mountain and Sea seals shut. As All Saints experience a profound relief, a subtle bewilderment stirs within them.
Across the extended flow of ages, their persistent goal had been the revival of Mountain and Sea, evolving into a near-automatic pursuit.
With the endeavor now fully accomplished, All Saints abruptly sense a touch of emptiness and uncertainty regarding future paths.
The God creation Guests honor their vow entirely.
The ominous Life Cutting blade that loomed overhead gradually dissipates, removing the peril.
However, the God creation Guests vanish from Mountain and Sea as if evaporating into nothingness.
Certain Saints withdraw to serene corners of Mountain and Sea, while others, captivated by the God creation Guests' might, venture once more into the Taichu Immortal Realm.
Some Saints, habituated to the companionship of Mountain and Sea's inhabitants amid the revival efforts, assume mortal guises and blend among the populace.
The Eternal World transcends mere emptiness.
Rather, a magnificent and holy palace rises imposingly at its core.
This palace stretches infinitely, as though it forms its own singular Realm.
Within the expansive, unending expanse, diverse Daos align in dignified formation.
The God creation Guests survey the Dao Hall, offering repeated nods of approval.
"Every Dao Path belonging to the Mountain Sea Saints has been fully integrated."
"At present, the perfected form of Mountain and Sea ought to endure for a hundred billion years of Time. Beyond that span, Dao Yan shall surge forth once more, causing Mountain and Sea to fracture afresh," Po Zhenzi declared deliberately, envisioning the ominous currents momentarily repelled beyond Mountain and Sea's borders.
Zhang Fan proceeded, "By then, I shall eliminate All Saints via True and False Transformations. Subsequently, employing this Dao Hall, I will forge a fresh generation of Mountain Sea Saints. Thus, a new cycle of Mountain and Sea restoration may commence."
Xuan Yuanhong let out a soft sigh, "Ultimately, we did pledge to them. Should we compel a reversal anew, conflict will surely erupt. While it serves our purposes handily, I fear their commitment to restoring Mountain and Sea will wane in subsequent efforts compared to the initial one."
"Direct application of True and False remodeling proves superior."
The God creation Guests voiced no objections, clearly sharing this view.
After eons of grasping True and False, their perspectives have imperceptibly shifted.
They may have recognized this change in some fleeting instant, yet upon fully attaining True and False, equating other entities as peers becomes profoundly challenging.
Furthermore, most of the God creation Guests' efforts concentrate on confronting the finale of Returning to God.
As for lesser details, they scarcely notice.
"The True and False Waymarks have developed to two-thirds completion."
"However, progress decelerates as it advances further. Full maturation may demand thrice the duration already spent."
"It matters little; merely three additional Reincarnation cycles await. Having secured the origins of All Saints, and with True and False Dao at our command, we can summon new Saints for restoration whenever needed. The sole worry pertains to Mountain and Sea itself."
Suddenly, the boundless silhouette of Mountain and Sea materializes before the God creation Guests.
In the revival of Mountain and Sea, the traces of All Saints span its every nook.
All Saints serve as their vigilant sentinels.
As the authentic architects of the present Mountain and Sea, nearly every fragment falls under the dominion of the assembled God creation Guests.
"The Returning to God of Mountain and Sea embodies destiny. An inexorable fate."
"Though we defy it through might, each successive birth and ruin will render it fiercer."
"Potentially doubling in intensity with every iteration."
"Until... Dao Yan manifests, and Mountain and Sea erases in an instant."
"Denying us further chances for unhurried mending."
"Hence, our remaining time truly dwindles."
Under the scrutiny of the God creation Guests, the vision of Mountain and Sea transforms through myriad shifts.
Following that, the solitary Lone Star ascends loftily, hovering above Mountain and Sea.
"Mr. Fan, what of the preparations?"
"The Dao of the existing Mountain and Sea lies fully mapped in my mind. I stand ready to supplant Mountain and Sea at any moment, ascending to the role of New God. The Star trailing behind Mountain and Sea poses no rival to me. My only apprehension lingers upon the God itself," Zhang Fan stated calmly.
"Thus, we must await the emergence of the True and False Waymarks."
Hearing this, the God creation Guests offered faint nods.
In these latter years, with Zhang Fan's strength deepening profoundly, he has steadily withdrawn from the "unity of heart and mind."
Though Zhang Fan wishes to align with all God creation Guests, as he nears [God] ever closer, he unconsciously slips from the shared unity.
Consequently, certain aspects of Zhang Fan's statements remain unresolved.
On principle, greater power and preparations should yield heightened assurance in vanquishing God.
Yet reality unfolds contrarily.
Zhang Fan has simulated his post-Star extinction maneuvers countless times.
But every outcome yields "Wu."
Neither triumph nor loss.
It feels as if, upon finalizing the Star's demise, he merely dissolves away.
This peculiar conclusion baffles Zhang Fan immensely.
He now ranks as the nearest to God across all of Mountain and Sea.
Thus, he perceives God's might with ever-growing clarity.
"Still insufficient."
A transient wave of helplessness stirred in Zhang Fan's core, though he swiftly quelled it.
Through these years, he has come to grasp why his former self dispersed clones in pursuit of advancements.
The pursuit exhausts all avenues yet yields no fruit.
"Yet he and I differ fundamentally."
Zhang Fan banished every stray notion.
"What eluded him, I may yet seize!"
"Slaying God..."
Zhang Fan's eyes traversed the illusory depiction of Mountain and Sea, beholding it as the authentic realm. Within his heart, he forged a resolute vow.
...
As the God creation Guests anticipated.
After a century of billions in stability, Dao Yan assaults once more.
Mountain and Sea cleaves beneath its blow, leaving All Saints utterly stunned.
Observing this recurrent spectacle, recollections from bygone times flood in like surging waves.
