CapĂtulo 2366: Chapter 1762: God Creation Guest (Part 2)
Xuan Yuanhong said repeatedly, âThe old fisherman is too modest. Although, except for True God, all Saints are equal. Yet, everyone here has once achieved Godhood. If it really came to a fight, we wouldnât truly fear anyone.â
âGodhoodâŠâ
These two words seemed to touch upon some ancient memories within the people present, and for a moment, silence fell once more.
âAt the dawn of time, during the Era of Tai Chu, the Saints endlessly clashed. It was all for the sake of seizing the Creation of Mountain Sea, and to grasp the holy essence of Godhood.â
âFor this, we lost ourselves within our hearts. Just as we did back in the day.â
âNo amount of persuasion is effective. Only by truly having once reached Godhood and experienced everything, can one truly understand.â
âExcept for you, Xuanyuan boy.â The old fisherman slowly walked to a vantage point between Heaven and Earth, and sat down once more.
He grabbed hold of the stone tablet, utterly stunned by the earth-shattering secret it had overheard, and began fishing once again.
Xuan Yuanhong smiled wryly, âCompared to you esteemed seniors, I merely have some self-awareness.â
âAfter countless Reincarnations, the True and False Changes have finally shifted once more. Let it be. We canât resist anyway.â
âBut this time, I think perhaps there truly is something different about it.â
After a round of discussion among all the Saints, they each went their separate ways.
Hidden in the world.
âItâs just a pity about Brother Zhang.â
âHe was indeed a sincere person, and I wonder if weâll ever have the chance to meet again,â King of Mystic Sky sighed.
âŠ
Of the various happenings in this world, Zhang Fan, who escaped far away, was not aware.
He had already gradually recovered from the initial excitement of leaving.
He would never admit it aloud, but in truth, he was starting to feel some regret.
The dangers and infinity of Dao Yan had greatly exceeded his expectations.
Seeing it is one thing, living it is another.
Just finding another potential shelter had nearly exhausted all of Zhang Fanâs strength.
âIf the Dao Yan between Mountain Sea is like this, how much worse would it be outside in the Void Realm?â
Zhang Fanâs heart grew increasingly fearful.
But once youâve drawn the bow, thereâs no turning back. Zhang Fan couldnât find the way back, and he could only forge ahead with gritted teeth.
âFortunately, Real still has over ninety uses left.â
Just as Zhang Fan felt fortunate about this, suddenly his expression changed dramatically.
âIs there someone else nearby with the Real? Unable to use it temporarily?â
âWhat does this mean?â
At this moment, Zhang Fan was struck hard, even more so than his sudden encounter with the truth of the Dao Yan in Mountain Sea.
From birth until now, with the True and False Dao, he always thought he was undoubtedly the legendary protagonist, the man of Destiny. So no matter if his golden finger was discovered, he would remain unscathed.
He never expected to encounter someone with the same template not long after leaving the beginnerâs village.
âWhat on earth is going on?â
Zhang Fan was both shocked and enraged in his heart.
But before he could think further, the surrounding possibilities had already plunged into a sea of fire.
Under the scorching flames, Zhang Fan was forced to reveal himself.
âDaoist, hold onâŠâ
Zhang Fan still hoped to discuss the similar circumstances with the opponent to understand what was happening.
However, the other person with the Real had no intention of communicating. The offensive did not slow down; instead, it grew fiercer.
The surrounding flames held the power to incinerate the sky, and annihilate the world.
Even the waves of Dao Yan were temporarily suppressed by the fire.
Zhang Fan attempted to escape, but he could not break through the blockade of Raging Flames.
âYou truly wish to see me dead!â
Zhang Fan finally realized, and at the brink of life and death, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
âIn that case, donât blame me!â
Having stayed in a sheltered world for years, with no fear of life or death, cultivation battles were lazily pursued.
But he had many powerful beings around him after all.
Occasionally asking for guidance earned him opportunities and Fortune that others could not attain in a lifetime.
âA baited hook!â
Zhang Fan squinted his eyes, as if his gaze penetrated the vast sea of flames, finding the one hidden behind the scenes.
With his hand as the rod, he gently cast it out.
The rod fell, and the fish was caught!
As if without any reason, Lin Fan, who unleashed the sea of fire, was caught in Zhang Fanâs hand.
With astonishment written all over his face.
Instinctively wanting to struggle, but his whole body seemed to be Imprisoned by fishing lines, unable to move at all.
The enemy was instantly captured, and on the verge of killing, Zhang Fan hesitated instead.
After all, he had never killed anyone in his life.
Moreover, not only was the otherâs fate similar to his own, but even their aura seemed vaguely identical.
âBetween us, there should be some connection.â
Zhang Fan pondered secretly in his heart.
As he was indecisive, it seemed as if a gust of wind passed by.
The baited Lin Fan was like being incinerated by a raging fire, turning into Flying Ashes inch by inch.
Zhang Fanâs heart was suddenly startled.
Before he could react, a jet-black flame had already struck his forehead.
âAm I to perish here?â
In Zhang Fanâs Spirit Consciousness, scenes of past memories flashed by.
There was regret, a sense of loss,
and anger towards the attacker.
Just as the black flames were about to burn Zhang Fanâs Divine Soul to ashes,
a green light glowed, blocking all harm.
âBrother Xuan Yuan!â
Zhang Fan instantly realized.
The one who saved his life was the Jade Pendant given to him by Xuan Yuanhong before parting.
He thought that with the Real in hand, he would never need to use this Treasure in his lifetime. Unexpectedly, a journey of a thousand miles halted before it even started, triggering the pendant.
Knowing there would be no second chance, Zhang Fan steeled himself.
âLife and Death, Leave!â
As soon as he spoke, Zhang Fan seemed to split into two.
One exuded deathly energy, like a slumbering undead; the other was full of vitality, like ancient Qingmu.
The Incarnate of death mercilessly sliced at his own head.
When the head was severed, not far away, Lin Fan also let out a scream.
The head inexplicably fell as well.
It wasnât just the body.
Even the Divine Soul and consciousness were separated by this implicated slash.
Falling into Zhang Fanâs hand.
âDie!â
Zhang Fan did not hesitate further, and the death incarnate pointed a finger at his fallen headâs forehead.
The body shattered into pieces.
Taking the enemy Lin Fan with him.
The demise of the death incarnate did not affect Zhang Fanâs actual survival.
Endless green longevity nourished him, allowing him to quickly recover from his injuries.
The psychological impact of this battle extended far beyond the physical or Divine Soul damage.
Yet, he gained something after all.
âThe Real can now be activated again, temporarily averting danger.â
And furthermoreâŠ
âI can feel that the Real power belonging to the opponent was absorbed by me.â
Zhang Fan closed his eyes, sensing the growth of a strange energy within.
âThe old fisherman mentioned more than once that the Real is none other than the True and False Changes, the True and False Dao.â
âI have secretly asked Brother Xuan Yuan. This Dao seems to be something only I can comprehend and cultivate. Even a genius like him cannot comprehend it.â
âYet now, a second has appeared.â
âAnd, itâs far from just that.â
After killing Lin Fan, Zhang Fan also seized some of his memory.
Before encountering him, Lin Fan had already met three others also possessing the Real. Lin Fan winning all his encounters, not expecting to fall into his hands in the end.
âThis person cultivated the Dao of Cinder Silence FireâŠâ
âAn ordinary talent.â
Zhang Fan frowned slightly, then relaxed.
From the opponentâs memories, he learned that this Dao was already among the highest levels in Mountain Sea, something ordinary Cultivators sought all their lives without success.
âI already vaguely knew the old fishermanâs identity might be extraordinary. But I still didnât realize it might be far beyond what I imaginedâŠâ
Only now did Zhang Fan begin to understand what Xuan Yuanhong meant when he said they might never return.
But Zhang Fan only regretted for a moment before his determination set once more.
âCompared to the everlasting days of peace, such killing, plunderingâŠâ
âSuits me better.â
Even though this time there wasnât much substantial gain, Zhang Fan felt a faint, irrepressible excitement from the depths of his heart.
âLet me see how many more people like me exist in this vast Mountain Sea!â
âWhoever I meet, I will kill, untilâŠâ
âI find the true mastermind behind this!â
Though Zhang Fan yet didnât understand, he might very well be in the midst of a vast conspiracy.
He wanted to break through it, he wanted revenge!
