Chapter 1717: Chapter 1412

“Just like what I saw in my previous life.”

“So, when Huanzhen activates, it’s not only about creating something out of nothing, opening a new possibility within a false space-time. It also resets all the time nodes of the mortal world to the predetermined anchor point.”

“Such an immense power…”

Li Fan felt a shock unlike anything he had ever experienced before.

Especially after witnessing the strength of Xie Subai and the Dark Heavenly Doctor—existences seemingly surpassing the realm of the Nameless True Immortals.

No matter how powerful they seemed, before Huanzhen, it was all illusions! One thought turns false into true, and one thought turns true into false!

Based on this inference of Huanzhen’s potency, theoretically speaking, even the Dark Heavenly Doctor shouldn’t be able to operate within the Dao Yin domain created by Huanzhen after its activation.

The only plausible explanation seems to be that Li Fan, as the vessel, is too weak, affecting the effectiveness of Huanzhen.

“Weak…?”

Having already ascended to the Semi-Immortal Stage, Li Fan couldn’t help but feel bitter. But he quickly thought of the Path-obliterating Calamity—under its shadow, countless True Immortals perish like ants. In comparison, the “weakness” of a Semi-Immortal doesn’t seem so difficult to accept.

Recalling his previous life, when encountering the Dark Heavenly Doctor, his lifespan limit surged wildly. Li Fan’s heart stirred.

The True and False Changes technique suddenly activated.

Benefiting from witnessing the entire process of Huanzhen creating a new possibility, Li Fan’s comprehension of the True and False Changes advanced by leaps and bounds.

Visualizing his Semi-Immortal cultivation base from an earlier possibility.

As he thought, his cultivation descended upon him, stacking up.

Unlike before, where it could only be maintained for a short duration, Li Fan now found himself able to sustain this false cultivation for nearly the time it takes to drink a cup of tea!

And even…

Li Fan narrowed his eyes, focusing fully, and attempted to stack the false cultivation again.

It was indeed doable.

However, the mental burden from this action skyrocketed instantly by more than tenfold.

The duration of the stacked cultivation also drastically dropped, with significant fluctuations.

“Just reproducing my own cultivation alone is this challenging. I cannot even fathom the difficulty of creating an entirely new possible realm from nothing.”

Li Fan murmured, his gaze falling onto the numbers displayed on the panel before him.

Triple Semi-Immortal cultivation base—though it wasn’t yet sufficient to surpass True Immortal-level power outright.

But it seemed to come quite close.

Yet…

Seven million three hundred sixty-five thousand eight hundred sixty-four years, thirteen days, and eight hours!

This level of improvement in power could only postpone the Great Calamity’s destruction of the mortal world by barely one hour under Huanzhen’s derivation. A drop in the ocean!

“It seems that my current strength is still far from being enough to intervene.”

Li Fan’s heart grew heavy.

Indeed, Huanzhen could repeatedly reset the entire mortal world, preventing complete annihilation each time.

But the mortal world’s descent into ruin was inevitable.

No matter how Huanzhen turned the tide, the Path-obliterating Calamity would eventually devour everything.

It resembled endlessly pushing a boulder up a mountain, only to see it inevitably roll back down to the base—a cycle without end.

Only by reaching the level of power held by Xie Subai and the Dark Heavenly Doctor did there seem to be any hope of breaking the cycle.

But the problem was that the appearance of these two figures was far too abrupt, far beyond reasoning.

And completely exceeded Li Fan’s expectations.

In his original plan, things were supposed to proceed step by step, leveraging the powers of the Xuanhuang World and the Mystic Immortal Boat to explore beyond the high wall slowly. To search for the Faceless Immortal, Kitty Treasure, and even clues about the Fishing Pond.

But now, the sudden arrival of these two figures had almost overturned Li Fan’s entire plan.

Especially the presence of the Dark Heavenly Doctor, which filled Li Fan with a faint sense of fear.

“Once the Celestial Doctor inside the wall is sensed, the Dark Heavenly Doctor will immediately descend.”

“Does it mean that, throughout these years, the entire Abyss Star Ocean has been teetering on the edge of life and death? Were it not for the Celestial Doctor’s devotion to his homeland, pouring most of his effort into reviving the Heavenly Law Realm, the Dark Heavenly Doctor might have already been summoned long ago!”

“Furthermore, based on the comprehension progress displayed by the Celestial Doctor in my previous life, he seems close to unraveling the secrets of the high wall. Even without the variables I introduced, once the Heavenly Law Realm successfully resurrects, the Celestial Doctor will still ultimately comprehend the high wall. The day resurrection is complete, it will also mark the onset of death… What irony.”

Li Fan’s thoughts raced.

He suddenly recalled the era of the Tianxuan Spirit Locking from a past life.

At that time, he had transformed into the Dissociation Disc, wandering for thousands of years.

Anchoring to the year 2078, the world became one of deathly silence.

It was not until the anchor point of 3024 that sunlight finally returned.

“It seems, because of the existence of the Dark Heavenly Doctor, under normal circumstances, the Xuanhuang World will inevitably face a doomed outcome.”

“However, the intervention of the Dark Heavenly Doctor ensured that neither the Xuanhuang World nor the reborn Heavenly Law Realm was completely obliterated. Millennia later, there’s still a chance for life to revive…”

“I suppose it was the Dark Heavenly Doctor evoking memories and thus showing mercy.”

Li Fan quietly pondered.

Because of the figures inside the wall—Black Heavenly Doctor and Xie Subai, those two terrifying beings—Li Fan’s plans in this lifetime must undergo significant changes. At the very least, he could no longer allow the Celestial Doctor to get near the high wall.

“What lies beyond the high wall remains unknown.”

“In my previous life, within the black-and-white Dao Yin domain, I glimpsed the scene beyond the high wall through the straight, blank path carved out by the Dark Heavenly Doctor.”

“It seemed to be a normal Star Sea, with vibrant stars scattered like chess pieces. But at the edge of my vision, something blocked my gaze.”

“Could there be another high wall beyond the high wall?” Li Fan couldn’t help but wonder.
