Chapter 2292: 1718: Threefold Resolution of Their Crisis (Part 2)

Capítulo 2292: Chapter 1718: Threefold Resolution of Their Crisis (Part 2)

If there are no further variables arising behind the Void Realm.

Of course, even if they are of one mind, the power the trio can exert has its limits.

Adding to that, the moral schism Li Fan anticipated would at most produce eighteen Mountain Sea Saints.

If the Void Realm’s backstage were to summon countless saint shadows from other time nodes regardless of the cost, just like the previous epoch, they would instantly shatter the defenses of Li Fan and the other two.

But in this life, Li Fan and the others have shown no signs of the True and False Changes.

In the eyes of the backstage of the Void Realm, they are just a bit stronger, and their techniques a bit more novel as saints.

As a rational commander, He would never make such a reckless move.

Thus, after evaluating the current situation, He decisively chose to withdraw the troops.

The retreat was even faster than the arrival; the innate ferocity and the incarnations of the Three Saints of the Void Realm all disappeared without a trace in an instant.

However, a temporary retreat does not mean that the Void Realm has given up on contesting the current Mountain Sea.

Li Fan sensitively noticed that as the incarnations of the Three Saints of the Void Realm departed, the path ahead blocked by Dao Yan became even more profound and dark.

Although it couldn’t help with the level of power of the Three Saints, it was increasingly devastating against ordinary saints and the Mountain Sea.

Since they couldn’t take the place temporarily, they thought to find a way to stall it.

Once they resolved the forces at other time nodes, they would then deploy a great army to crush with absolute power.

In a certain sense, the choice made by the backstage of the Void Realm wasn’t exactly wrong.

It’s just a pity that when the Lone Star appeared, even the entire Void Realm was engulfed, and then reset following Hai Zhen’s activation.

Therefore, He was unaware that what He was forsaking was the very essence of the True and False Dao!

With no external threat, the atmosphere on the scene did not become relaxed because of it.

The Three Saints and Li Fan’s trio exchanged glances, each harboring their own thoughts.

There was no need for Li Fan and the others to explain their origins.

Once the crisis of the Three Saints’ fall was resolved, the divine sense they held of the Three Saints automatically left their bodies.

Returning to the true selves of the Three Saints.

Through this, the Three Saints learned all the causes and effects.

Yet, till now, they still find it somewhat unbelievable how Li Fan and his companions successfully resisted the attack of fifteen times innate ferocity.

“Three Daoists, what great divine technique!” The Sea Return Saint’s gaze swept over, praising them.

“It was merely luck. After a prolonged battle, we were already at the end of our strength. If not for the timely withdrawal of the Void Realm, we might have perished on the spot!” Li Fan said calmly without a change in expression.

Guardian Hill also smiled: “We also must thank the Three Saints for being of one mind and one accord, otherwise, we would be hard-pressed to hold on.”

Morality nodded in agreement: “If it weren’t for being of one mind and one accord this time, we wouldn’t have known that we would resonate so well with each other.”

Only the insiders know the details.

As the creators of the Xuanji Ring, the Three Saints are naturally well aware that being of one mind can multiply one’s combat power, yet it’s difficult to achieve a more than tenfold amplification like Li Fan and his companions.

However, from the performance of the earlier battle, the combat power of Li Fan’s trio is already not beneath theirs.

They can’t forcibly question them.

“The turmoil of the Void Realm is not yet settled; at present, we should first reconnect the Mountain and Sea.”

The six exchanged a glance, apparently reaching a temporary agreement.

Turning around, they look towards the two parts of the Mountain and Sea divided by the Void Realm.

Things aren’t what they used to be.

The two parts of the Mountain and Sea have all the Three Saints, and are supported by Li Fan.

Even if ten thousand years are swallowed by time, they can be easily restored.

Under the concerted efforts of all the Saints, strands of the Mountain and Sea veins reappeared within the Void Realm.

First, there was a ray of light, breaking through the darkness.

Then thousands of rays of light shone brilliantly.

The Mountain and Sea were restored.

At the moment of reconnecting, all Saints sitting on the Other Shore emitted a boiling aura.

Evidently gaining immense benefits.

After all, with ten thousand years of accumulation appearing out of nowhere, along with the merits of reconnecting the Mountain and Sea.

Even if the strength didn’t double, it still improved significantly.

Perhaps the only exception is Li Fan.

In this Mountain and Sea, he doesn’t exist, so there’s no such thing as two coming together.

But the movement emanating from him was not at all inferior to others.

Besides the disguise of stirring accumulated true spirit, there’s also the feedback from Guardian Hill and Morality’s gains as the reason.

Though they were still sitting inside the Xuanji Ring, facing the Three Saints.

But Li Fan, together with Guardian Hill and Morality, has already become one.

They could vaguely stand against the Three Saints, so there was no need to act so cautiously as before.

However, in this reconnection, the biggest beneficiaries seemed to be the Three Saints of Mountain Lian.

Originally, Li Fan had full confidence facing them.

But with another reconnection of the Mountain Sea, the Three Saints became even more unfathomable.

“After all, they are the ancient monsters that existed since the transformation of the Mountain Sea.”

“Guardian Hill’s heritage is already unimaginable; how could the Three Saints not be even more so?”

“The total sum of the civilization, living beings, and Dao of the Mountain Sea is bound to grow stronger with the reconnection.”

“Or perhaps, it is to restore their original strength.”

With this, Li Fan had already anticipated.

Even so, Li Fan believed that in a short time, the Three Saints couldn’t differentiate the form and reality between him and the group of Guardian Hill, Morality.

With the same purpose of saving the Mountain Sea, the balance could not be broken easily.

“The Mountain and Sea are reconnected, successfully restoring ten thousand years of time. This is truly a great fortune!”

“However, even though the reconnection succeeded, why do I feel that this newly born Mountain Sea seems a bit odd?” Bai Xiao looked at the new ten thousand years of the Mountain Sea and suddenly asked.

The Lian Mountain Saint spoke: “It is not your illusion. The Mountain Sea was separated by the Void Realm for too long. Although it has the past veins as proof and can reappear in the void, the current Mountain Sea will inevitably have some differences compared to the former one.”

“Some possibilities may no longer exist, while others may be transformed altogether.”

“Correspondingly, the entire downstream Mountain Sea will be slightly affected.”

“However, it is beneficial and harmless to the general trend of the Mountain Sea.”

Guardian Hill suddenly said in Li Fan’s mind: “The traces of Emperor Tian Luo once existing have vanished.”

Li Fan was stunned, looking towards the primitive possibility in the Mountain Sea.

In the initial celestial realm, it should have been Emperor Tian Luo governing.

The newly born Mountain Sea should have followed past inertia to reconstruct the events of the past.

Yet, bewilderingly, the newly born original possibility at this time showed no existence of Emperor Tian Luo.

Instead, another celestial emperor named Ling Xi appeared in the list.

The upstream waters have suddenly changed course.

Making the original possibilities silently transition into two completely different trends.

The one that flourished, naturally inherited the newly arisen original possibilities of the Celestial Emperor Ling Xi.

And the original that Li Fan was familiar with…

Truly became water without a source, wood without roots. With no power pouring from the Mountain Sea upstream, it was bound to fall into a slow decline.

“What does this mean?” Li Fan frowned slightly.

He naturally didn’t worry that his group born of the original itself would be affected by changes.

Those in the realm beyond are no longer shackled by the possibilities of their origin, let alone considering their current strength.

“With the reappearance of the Mountain Sea, Tian Luo no longer being part of it.”

“Could it be…”

Guardian Hill also hesitated for a while.

“What the Three Saints mentioned earlier about not witnessing Emperor Tian Luo’s transcendence with the celestial realm might not necessarily be true.”

“We still need to uncover the truth ourselves,” Morality said to himself.

“In the revived Mountain Sea, no trace of Tian Luo exists. What truly happened back then might be unknowable. We have to trace back to the earliest times of the Mountain Sea to find the opportunity Emperor Tian Luo sought in the lower world, and deduce from there.” Guardian Hill gazed at the Mountain Sea ahead.

“If my prediction is correct, it should be in the Mountain Sea ahead.”

Hearing this, Li Fan was somewhat lost: “The affair of Emperor Tian Luo, I thought, was a distant past. Who would have thought that within the Mountain Sea we took merely two or three steps? It’s just an insignificant segment of time in the entire Mountain Sea.”

Morality also seemed to recall: “The change of Tian Luo occurred only near the end of his reign. It seems it was after finding what is called destiny that engendered the alteration. Indeed, one can glimpse the secret.”

“However…”

“If it is truly a destiny capable of transcending the Mountain Sea, it might be forever lost once missed.” Morality suddenly remarked.
