Chapter 1766 Goodwill Change

. The countless God-Slaying variants naturally possessed the same instantaneous ability to reset mountains and seas as the originals.

Instead, the reset range was initially limited to a single possibility,

and there was a limit of one hundred uses.

Even with such a strict limit, under normal circumstances, it was sufficient for the God-Slaying variants to successfully cultivate to the transcendent realm.

After leaping out of their potential, their “Zhenzhen” would be “upgraded.”

The reset wasn’t limited to a single possibility, but rather to a certain area around them. Furthermore, if they encountered a Mountain and Sea Sage far superior in strength, the effective range of “Zhenzhen” would be further reduced.

Furthermore,

if two God-Slaying variants were too close to each other, their “Zhenzhen” would both become ineffective. Simultaneously, they would experience a telepathic connection.

The only way to restore the “Zhenzhen” function was to kill the other and plunder their fortune.

The winner would survive, their “Zhenzhen” restored, and even further their understanding of the great Dao of truth and falsehood by devouring their opponent’s “Zhenzhen.”

The loser would die.

However, this did not completely dissipate.

Instead, under the protection of the Great Dao of Truth and Falsehood, he returned to the world of [God-Slaying Transformation], where Li Fan’s original body resided. He

recalled his experiences and fed them back to his original self.

Then, guided by [Return to Truth], he erased all memories and entered the cycle of reincarnation within the mountains and seas!

This cycle would repeat itself until the mountains and seas were destroyed.

Condensing and forging the various divine variables wasn’t an overnight undertaking.

Even Li Fan himself didn’t know the level of accumulation required to successfully slay the gods before he took action. But he understood it was the only way to

do it. So, he acted without hesitation.

As time passed, ripples began to rise within the tranquil mountains and seas.

The countless variants created based on the original Li Fan all possessed ordinary cultivation aptitude. However, compared to the original self, their starting position was generally much better.

Even if their first life wasn’t auspicious, after multiple reincarnations, their foresight and foresight enabled them to successfully embark on the path of cultivation.

Even reaching the level of True Immortal, releasing a variant rarely took more than thirty lifetimes.

However, the transition from True Immortal to transcendence was a barrier that blocked almost all variants.

Nearly 90% of variants, even after ninetieth reincarnation, have yet to find a way to transcend.

This situation is the exact opposite of Li Fan’s original path of cultivation.

The Xuanhuang Realm and the Primordial Possibilities are fraught with pitfalls and dangers. But in a sense, for Li Fan, possessing the ability to constantly rewind, they are filled with countless opportunities. Seizing any one of them would lead to the path to transcendence.

However, this is not the case with the vast majority of possibilities in the mountains and seas. Even

exhausting all possibilities, all talents, all resources, and all attempts, it is often extremely difficult to successfully forge a path to transcendence.

Otherwise, given the endless possibilities and countless sentient beings of the mountains and seas, the number of transcendental cultivators that could be nurtured would be substantial.

[True], who oversaw the operation of the God Transformation Plan, naturally quickly realized this.

Without reaching the Saint realm, no matter how numerous, they are not truly “variables.”

Just before most variants were about to run out of True Transformations, He intervened. He

did not grant them directly, but rather placed them at the perfect moment. As long as a variant persists in its quest for transcendence until its final life and final moment, then, in the moment of despair, a turning point will emerge.

After transcendence, “Zhenzhen” will level up again, doubling its reset chances.

This ensures that the path to sainthood remains hopeless.

As for those variants who, in desperate circumstances, voluntarily give up,

their experiences and memories will still benefit their original form, for they are, after all, a part of Li Fan.

However, they will not be re-cast into the cycle of mountains and seas.

Instead, “Zhenzhen” will destroy them. With

the Great Dao of True and False, countless variants can be generated at any time and in any place, without the worry of exhaustion.

Compared to those “losers” who achieve transcendence with the secret help of “Zhenzhen,”

those variants who successfully navigate the path to transcendence on their own are more worthy of attention.

The phantom of “Zhenzhen” gazed somewhere within the mountains and seas.

“Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Zhang, for taking this step forward and from now on being free from constraints!”

Hearing this voice, Zhang Fan, the variant of the gods, finally calmed down from the euphoria of his successful enlightenment.

His expression grew solemn, and he bowed, saying, “I’d also like to thank Fellow Daoist Xuanyuan for your assistance. Otherwise…”

“With my aptitude, I would never have made it this far.”

The cultivator beside Zhang Fan smiled, “Instead of thanking me, I’d rather thank Senior Angler.”

If Li Fan himself were here, he would instantly recognize the cultivator.

It was none other than Xuantian King, Xuanyuan Hong!

Countless divine bodies, released for experimental purposes, were scattered across the mountains and seas. By chance, one of them had become a close friend of Xuantian King.

Truly, the mysteries of the world are unfathomable.

However, Zhang Fan, unaware of his own entanglement with Xuantian King, simply nodded in agreement. “If it weren’t for Senior Angler’s precious treasure, I’m afraid I wouldn’t even have been able to reach the realm of True Immortal.”

He then bowed to a motionless figure sitting cross-legged in the distance.

His mind raced back to his own journey of cultivation. He couldn’t help

but wonder whether this was a stroke of luck or misfortune.

When he was still a young Foundation Establishment cultivator, the secret of his possession of the “Realization” was discovered by Senior Xuanyuan Hong and Senior Chui Diao Weng.

Even now, Zhang Fan vividly remembers the trembling fear he felt upon realizing they hadn’t been reset along with the rest of the world.

He almost thought he was doomed for exposing his treasure.

Unexpectedly, neither Xuanyuan Hong nor Senior Chui Diao Weng had any desire to plunder his treasure.

They even repeatedly assisted him throughout his subsequent cultivation journey. This is

how the Zhang Fan of today came to be.

Over the years, the three of them have become close friends, sharing practically everything.

Of course, Zhang Fan was well aware of the insurmountable gap in strength between them, and thus, a certain resentment remained. But

today, having successfully achieved transcendence, Zhang Fan believes he has finally found the strength and qualifications to truly stand on equal terms with Xuanyuan Hong and Senior Chui Diao Weng. He finally expressed the doubts that had been lingering within him.

“The great way of truth and falsehood has the power to overturn mountains and seas. Why can’t Brother Xuanyuan remain unmoved?”

Xuanyuan Hong seemed to have anticipated Zhang Fan’s question and smiled. “First, I feel the same way. I know exactly what it’s like to be coveted, so I won’t retaliate. Secondly…” “

The true and false paths are indeed mysterious and difficult to fathom. But the moment I laid eyes on Him, I knew He wasn’t something I could touch. Rather than dwelling on Him, it’s better to simply ignore Him. Otherwise, it’ll only cause more trouble.”

Xuanyuan Hong smiled meaningfully, as if hinting at something.

Zhang Fan, however, couldn’t grasp the meaning behind Xuan Tian Wang’s words and nodded thoughtfully.

“As for Senior Fisherman…” Xuanyuan Hong glanced at the Shanhai Fisherman, who remained seated, still fishing, as motionless as an ancient stone Buddha.

“In his eyes, there’s only the word ‘fishing’. The true and false paths aren’t even as appealing as the weakest fish in the water.”

As Xuanyuan Hong spoke, the fisherman abruptly reeled in his rod.

A frightened figure fell into his grasp.

The fisherman laughed heartily, seemingly overjoyed.

“A mere piece of stone, yet you dare to spy on my fortune?”

“Hmm?”

The fisherman’s initial movements suggested he might release the fished figure. But for some reason, a moment later, he changed his mind.

“But…”

“I’d be happy to teach you a few tricks.”

He tossed the figure aside and pointed lightly.

“Watch carefully, learn well.”

It was unknown what the frightened figure had looked like before, or where it came from. Now, it had transformed into a child, wearing a straw raincoat and a bamboo hat, holding a fishing rod. He waited beside the fisherman.

After a brief moment of shock, he imitated the fisherman’s example, casting his line and catching fish.

There was no pond in front of the fisherman.

But as he cast his line and baited the bait, the mountain and sea fishing grounds would inevitably appear.

Immersed in his fishing, he ignored Zhang Fan’s compliments.

At first, Zhang Fan had been a little concerned,

but now he had grown accustomed to it.

“A transcendent state allows one to traverse Daoyan and explore the vast mountains and seas. It’s said that beyond the boundless possibilities, at the heart of the mountains and seas, saints have joined forces to forge the other shore.”

“It’s said that within the mountains and seas lies a magnificent dynasty, spanning countless possibilities. Its ruler is known as the Taiwei Holy Emperor…” Xuanyuan Hong described the general situation within the mountains and seas to Zhang Fan.

Despite experiencing numerous reincarnations during the first half of his life of cultivation, he was always shackled to the single possibility of the present.

Hearing Xuanyuan Hong’s description of the magnificent scenery of the mountains and seas, Zhang Fan was captivated and yearned for it.

He was certain that, possessing the true and false path, he could carve out a path

for himself, no matter how difficult and arduous the obstacles ahead, perhaps even achieving the status of a mountain and sea saint. Noticing every subtle shift in Zhang Fan’s expression, Xuanyuan Hong paused, then added, “However, whether it’s the saints of the other shore or the Taiwei Holy Emperor, their situations may not be as you imagine…”

“Okay,” Xuantian King considered his words.

“Brother Xuanyuan, what do you mean?” Li Fan was puzzled.

“Brother Zhang, in this world, has always been under our protection, unaware of the dangers of Daoyan. Previously, I worried that learning the truth about Daoyan would affect your cultivation. Now that you’ve transcended… well, it’s time for you to experience the true nature of the mountains and seas.”

Xuanyuan Hong glanced in the direction of the Mountain and Sea Fisherman.

The fisherman raised his head slightly.

Then, the world suddenly changed color.

It was as if the long-standing protective layer of disguise had suddenly faded.

In an instant, Zhang Fan fell into the true mountains and seas.

Daoyan wasn’t just the occasional gurgling stream he had always known.

It was a raging mountain torrent that encircled the entire mountain!

The wind was strong, the water was high, and the waves were surging. At any moment, it threatened to submerge the small hilltop they relied on!

For Zhang Fan, at his initial stage of transcendence, crossing a mountain stream was still possible.

Surviving this raging torrent…

was impossible!

I feared I would be swallowed up the moment I set foot.   Witnessing

this scene, Zhang Fan was instantly covered in cold sweat, his body trembling slightly with extreme fear.

At this moment, Xuanyuan Hong’s deep voice echoed again. “Brother Zhang, why not look up again, toward the sky?”   There seemed to be a special magic in Xuanyuan Hong’s voice, and Zhang Fan followed it, gazing upwards.   His body instantly froze.   The boundless sky, pitch black and deep.   Filled with the aura of Daoyan!   His own world was nothing compared to it!   ”This is the Void Realm.”   ”The surviving mountains and seas are but isolated islands in the vast ocean of the Void Realm.” Xuanyuan Hong’s voice echoed again, resonating at the perfect moment.   Like a thunderbolt, it struck Zhang Fan’s heart.   His body went limp, nearly falling to the ground. Overwhelmed   with fear, he averted his gaze.   Doubts flooded his mind.   He had never imagined Daoyan could be so terrifying?   The ocean was boundless, immeasurable. How could he cross it? How could he possibly cross it?   His original ambitions were shattered in an instant.   Zhang Fan hesitated several times to speak, but he couldn’t bring himself to speak.   ”Alright, stop scaring him,” the fisherman finally said.   The deep, dark scene suddenly vanished.   The world returned to clarity.   The pressure from the Daoyan Void Realm dissipated, like a drowning man being pulled ashore.   Zhang Fan gasped for air, greedily absorbing the hard-earned sense of security.   Just now, surrounded by the Void Realm, he had almost despaired.   A long moment passed, until Zhang Fan’s emotions had completely stabilized. Xuanyuan Hongfang spoke again   , apologetically, “Brother Zhang, please understand, I didn’t mean to scare you. It’s the Shanhai crisis that has long been incurable. Even the current situation was predetermined countless years ago.”   ”The Shanhai will eventually fall.”   With the foundation of his previous experience, Zhang Fan was surprisingly not shocked by the news of the Shanhai’s doom. He   simply frowned and said, “Eventually? Destined?”   Faced with Xuanyuan Hong’s resolute words, he instinctively felt skeptical.   Xuanyuan Hong didn’t explain, but continued, “The return of mountains and seas to nothingness is a foregone conclusion. No matter how you struggle, it’s futile.”   ”Just like the cycle of life and death in the world.”

“If there is no death, what is the meaning of life?”

“The return of mountains and seas to emptiness doesn’t mean the end of everything. Rather, it might be a fresh start.”

“The so-called struggle to save the world only adds to troubles,” Xuan Tian Wang sighed softly.

“So, Brother Xuanyuan, what you mean is…” Zhang Fan stared at Xuan Tian Wang in amazement.

In response to Zhang Fan’s question, Xuanyuan Hong said sternly, “Instead of stepping out and struggling in vain, it’s better to stay here and enjoy freedom until the cycle of reincarnation restarts.”

“It’s okay to tell you now. Besides Senior Chui Diao Weng, there are several other seniors living in seclusion here. They’re enough to hold out until the last moment of the mountains and seas.”

What Xuanyuan Hong said did sound somewhat reasonable.

However, Zhang Fan embarked on the path of cultivation for the purpose of eternal life and freedom.

Without personally experiencing the cycle of mountains and seas, what kind of despair would he feel? Naturally, he wouldn’t extinguish the stirrings within him.

He didn’t answer, only remained silent.

Xuanyuan Hong saw through Zhang Fan’s inner thoughts and said, “Of course, if you are truly determined and recognize the truth about the Shanhaidao, and you still have the courage to take a step forward…”

“We will never stop you.”

Xuanyuan Hong said, with a strange look on his face.
