My Simulated Road to Immortality Chapter 2386 - 1773: The New Ark

"Incredible..."

Setting aside the boundless enigmas of the external realm, Zhang Fan pondered deeply over the "true and false" right in front of him.

Similar to peering into a mirror, Zhang Fan examined the "true and false" of this realm, detecting no variance from the [True and False] he had long commanded.

"No separation between power and frailty, elevation and profundity, or order of past and present."

"If it embodies true and false, then true and false it is."

As though beholding a peerless gem, Zhang Fan's divine sense swiftly became engrossed in contemplation, taking quite a while to regain his focus.

Simultaneously, a flood of queries and fascinations welled up within his mind.

"Without any divide between these two true and false..."

Zhang Fan's mind raced, prompting him to extend his hand, striving to seize this freshly emerged true and false.

Yet, the unforeseen occurred.

While he perceived true and false clearly, the freshly formed true and false proved as fleeting as an illusion, slipping away from his reach.

"It bears the form of true and false, yet it isn't the true and false under my dominion."

Following multiple unsuccessful grabs, Zhang Fan reflected and halted his pursuit.

Rather, he settled into a cross-legged position right there, endeavoring to perceive from the void the ultimate laws of this nascent eternal realm.

Shortly thereafter, a slight crease formed on his forehead.

In that initial effort, a tremendous opposition arose from deep inside him, even threatening the core of his being.

Certainly, he detected the cultivation of the newly arisen true and false, but the cost involved detaching from the true and false Dao he presently wielded.

"These two cannot exist together, it seems..."

A subtle wave of disappointment passed through Zhang Fan's heart.

Though it aligned with his expectations, he found it hard to avoid a touch of sorrow.

"Such a supreme treasure lies ahead, but I can merely gaze upon it from a distance."

Thankfully, he soon steadied his thoughts and directed his sight past the realm.

Within the obscurity, the massive presence was subtly approaching.

Devoid of shape or form, divided by an entire world.

Still, Zhang Fan sensed an overwhelming force that proved irresistible.

"The divine body has manifested."

"Only the true and false awaits for the true god's arrival."

"Furthermore, this true god springs from my own form, or perhaps from my withering frame."

As his vision pierced the gloom, the burden on Zhang Fan intensified dramatically.

He was compelled to avert his eyes.

"The true god's revival now stands inevitable."

The true and false Dao inside him started to churn.

It appeared eager to depart his form and rejoin the true god's essence, its rightful place.

Zhang Fan let out an inner sigh, realizing this life's endeavor had ended in defeat.

Seizing the last instants while true and false held firm, he scrutinized every possible cause behind the present circumstances.

"Devoured the Mountain Sea, quelled the Lone Star. All progressed flawlessly until..."

"The instant following ascension to godhood."

Much like the god creation guests who materialized amid the Mountain Sea, Zhang Fan could truly claim the title of [God] in this existence.

Yet he couldn't evade his downfall.

Zhang Fan meticulously reviewed the events from that period.

Right before true and false fully abandoned his form, he uncovered the truth.

"It wasn't the resurrecting true god that brought my ruin. Rather, my slow decline fostered the true god's birth inside me."

"My demise serves as the root, the true god's emergence as the outcome."

"This vast darkness appears to halt even divine intent. Despite my divine body, endurance proves nearly impossible?"

Zhang Fan's spirit roiled, the true and false Dao on the verge of total severance.

In this closing instant, Zhang Fan quietly uttered [Real]!

A speck of radiance burst forth from Zhang Fan's form.

And then it banished the enveloping shadows.

In that instant, he appeared to behold the entirety of the God's form.

Appeared to lock eyes with the perished true god.

Then observed the true god's form, beneath the glow of Real, as frost thawed and ice receded, reverting to its primal state.

Mountain Sea materialized once more, stabilized for 1 year!

"Fan Er..."

Zhang Fan disregarded Bai Shuyue's summons, activating true and false, restoring his cultivation to the Saint Realm.

His silhouette blurred like a bolt, hurtling straight toward Fake Yu Cun's location.

He needed to confirm if the newly born true and false, fostered in the prior life via the might of every Mount Sea Saint, persisted.

This held utmost importance.

The Eternal Void World forged by Fake Yu Cun, detached from the Mountain Sea.

Without direct engagement, even Zhang Fan struggled to monitor its shifts.

Luckily, acquainted with the path, he reached it swiftly.

"True and false endures!"

An overwhelming thrill coursed through Zhang Fan's heart.

This marked the second element, apart from himself, capable of surviving Real's reset!

"Should the newly born true and false reside inside the Mountain Sea, it would surely undergo Real's reset, akin to that divine body."

"God, and true and false in essence, cannot evade true and false's transformations."

"Yet, with this Eternal Void World nurturing the newly born true and false, it has utterly detached from the Mountain Sea. The pair exist side by side, uninfluenced mutually. Its reset poses no threat to me."

The psyche once consumed by shadow and the true god now cleared somewhat through this revelation.

This round, Zhang Fan genuinely glimpsed a path to shatter the cycle of rebirth.

"Who goes there?"

Owing to the intense emotional surge, Fake Yu Cun at last noticed the abrupt intruder.

"Ha ha ha ha ha!"

Zhang Fan offered no reply, simply erupting in robust laughter.

Just as Fake Yu Cun prepared to respond, sequences of recollections surged within his spirit consciousness.

"Fan... Daoist?"

Guided by impulse, he uttered that title unexpectedly.

The duration of their companionship in the previous life stretched so far that, post-Mountain Sea reset, echoes of their shared memories lingered in the spirit consciousness of all god creation guests.

Ere long, the god creation guests reunited.

Within this Eternal Void World.

"Hearts and actions as one!"

Zhang Fan declared gravely, allowing all Saints to finally behold the nascent [True and False] present.

"No... Astonishing! The Supreme Dao has truly taken form in the world I shaped! It's no surprise I've sensed an oddity since this life's start, though I never grasped it fully." Fake Yu Cun quivered with unparalleled exhilaration.

"Capable of withstanding Real's reset unaltered. It confirms without doubt that this realm has achieved true independence. It could become our vessel of redemption." Even the old fisherman shed his typical composure.

In the midst of the surging feelings, Zhang Fan raised a barrage of inquiries.

"The newly born true and false evades the Mountain Sea reset. Regarding the spirits inside... more testing is required."

"Yet foremost, a vital issue arises. Do the spirits concealed in this realm reemerge in the Mountain Sea after Real's reset?"

"If yes, wouldn't that create duplicate beings?"

"And if no..."

"Doesn't that suggest a divine void?"

Zhang Fan's probing questions brought the god creation guests back to sobriety.

A fresh world surpassing the Mountain Sea had surfaced unexpectedly.

Undeniably groundbreaking.

No one held the solutions to these riddles; only through trial could enlightenment come.

Fake Yu Cun stepped forward: "This time, I'll remain here, vigilantly observing the shifts around Real."

Zhang Fan considered and cautioned: "Unknown dangers may lurk."

Fake Yu Cun replied calmly: "To behold the newly born true and false suffices. Even instant death would leave me content."

Zhen Shi Yin then grinned: "Since he fears not, I'll accompany him. To sense the Mountain Sea's fate inversion firsthand honors our cultivation."

Zhang Fan assented, delaying no further.

After departing this world alongside the group of god creation guests, he promptly enacted the true and false alterations.

His eyes fluttered open, finding himself back in the Xuanhuang World.

To ascertain the actual events, Zhang Fan hastened once more to the Eternal Void World.

"Why have you returned?"

Fake Yu Cun, positioned cross-legged at the world's core, paused in surprise, then comprehension dawned, leading him to cry out: "You've already triggered Real once?"

Beside him, Zhen Shi Yin displayed a joyful demeanor as well.
