A mysterious figure crossed the endless space-time at this moment and appeared before him.
It was [Real]!
As the orchestrator of Li Fanâs plan, everything that was cast into the divine body was under His control.
All actions, thoughts, and even emotions couldnât escape His detection.
Thus, the moment Zhang Fan began to show signs of losing control, He intervened.
The ability to quickly perceive the connections among the execution god bodies was something even [Real] had not anticipated.
The power that caused Zhang Fan to separate from himself seemed to linger in the air.
[Real] gazed for a moment and suddenly understood.
"Master of Slaying Destiny."
Then He looked towards where the god creation guests were.
Without causing any ripples, the god creation guests and the shelter world they constructed quietly disappeared from the mountain sea prematurely.
Then [Real] looked at the ice-sealed Zhang Fan but was momentarily hesitant.
Although the All Gods Transformation seemed out of control, who could guarantee it wasnât part of the expected changes?
Just as [Real] hesitated, Li Fanâs voice appeared suddenly.
"If it is a variable, it has its significance."
"Letâs see what level he can reach."
The voice echoed continuously, and the silhouette of [Real] already disappeared and returned.
...
"Letâs all charge up there together, capture that figure behind the scenes, wouldnât that be joyous." Zhang Fanâs thoughts began to circulate again.
From start to finish, he didnât notice [Real]âs arrival, nor that his fate hung by a thread.
After slightly recovering from his injuries, Zhang Fan began to reflect upon the divine technique he had just comprehended, which could evade the influence of [All Known].
"That feeling must have originated from the butcher who occasionally handles the fishermanâs catch."
The Old Fisherman of Mountains and Seas didnât always set free every fish he caught.
In rare cases where he found satisfaction in his collection, he would carry them around for amusement, much like the stone tablet.
Before carrying it, he would usually hand it to a scruffy butcher for handling.
After the butcherâs knife descended, the fisherman would then safely stow away his collection.
"So apparent, not an ordinary cultivator. Yet before this, I always ignored them instinctively."
"Such power..." Zhang Fan thought with alarm inside.
Once the image of the butcher appeared in his spirit consciousness, the feeling towards that dao path grew increasingly intense.
The clean and swift knife light kept flashing in Zhang Fanâs spirit consciousness.
Slowly, he too followed and swung a knife in the air.
It seemed as though a strand of hair fell in response.
Then thousands, like drifting snowflakes, fluttered down.
Countless blood marks appeared simultaneously on Zhang Fanâs body, the price for cutting the Heavenly Destiny Childâs links.
But instead of being frightened, Zhang Fan smiled uncontrollably.
"Slaying Destiny Knife, what a fitting name!"
Cutting off shackles, vanquishing fate.
Once the knife descended, ties vanished.
The effect of [All Known] faded gradually. The long-standing cloud hovering over Zhang Fanâs head seemed finally to disperse.
An unprecedented sense of security enveloped his heart.
Zhang Fan closed his eyes and slept deeply.
Upon waking, he found himself still alive, with all injuries healed.
"If I get a chance, I must return and properly thank those predecessors." Zhang Fan thought quietly to himself.
He knew clearly that the reason he was able to escape the fate destined for the Heavenly Destiny Child wasnât due to his uniqueness. It was entirely thanks to the unobtrusive care from powerful beings, including the fisherman.
"I just wonder, what realm are they in?"
"Is it possible that theyâre all Mountain Sea Saints?"
While thinking, Zhang Fan continued severing all remaining connections.
When only one thin line remained, the Slaying Destiny Knife hesitated to fall.
As the knife light rose, an indescribable fear surged within Zhang Fan.
As if the moment the thread broke, his demise would occur.
After hesitating for a long while, Zhang Fan chose to trust his intuition and didnât forcefully strike.
"Itâs not time yet."
"Perhaps when I prove the Tao of the Saint, can this knife truly be swung." Zhang Fan gained some insight.
"Speaking of which, could it be that Iâm truly exceptionally gifted? This [Slaying Destiny Knife] divine technique is profoundly mysterious. My comprehension is incredibly smooth, and its usage is increasingly effortless. And there are other divine techniques..."
Zhang Fan couldnât figure it out after pondering extensively and ultimately attributed it to the cultivation of powerful beings behind the scenes.
He would never have thought that all god creation guests, including the fisherman, had already been erased by [Real].
All kinds of dao paths temporarily became ownerless.
He was currently the only one in the mountain sea connected with these dao paths, effectively inheriting the legacy of the god creation guests, making comprehension exceedingly smooth.
Zhang Fan didnât think much more.
At the moment, he was focused entirely on seeking revenge on Zhou Fan.
"Now, itâs my turn to hide in the shadows. Hopefully, you wonât be easily caught by me." Zhang Fanâs eyes narrowed slightly, glinting with frost.
Zhou Fanâs [All Known] divine technique had caused him much anguish.
If this grievance went unavenged, wouldnât he be less than human?
Soon Zhang Fan left the mortal kingdom, where he had healed, to secretly search for Zhou Fanâs traces.
But Zhou Fan was indeed cautious.
Thanks to [Real]âs mutual sensing, Zhang Fan had already cleared nearly a hundred Heavenly Destiny Children, yet still hadnât found his tracks.
As the number of Heavenly Destiny Children decreased dramatically in a short time, everyone already sensed something was amiss.
Everybody stopped being conspicuous and went into hiding simultaneously.
This thwarted Zhang Fanâs journey of revenge once more.
The turbulent mountain sea surprisingly fell into an eerie calm.
After painstakingly finding another Heavenly Destiny Child and absorbing him, Zhang Fan suddenly felt an alarm within.
"Strange, the sudden disappearance of too many at once."
"Something doesnât add up..."
"Is it possible that besides me, someone else is hunting Heavenly Destiny Children?"
His heart jumped suddenly, as if confirming this guess.
Zhang Fanâs expression naturally became stern.
"Who could it be?"
Considering this, Zhang Fan didnât feel surprised.
Indeed, the number of Heavenly Destiny Children appearing in a short time was quite overwhelming.
They attacked each other, disregarding other strongmen within the mountain sea.
Moreover, every Heavenly Destiny Child carried a [Real] Supreme Treasure, naturally drawing envy.
"Those with capability and motive should be a number of Mountain Sea Saints."
Once upon a time, Zhang Fan wanted to cross the Dao Yan towards the other shore and the Holy Dynasty, to witness the Saintsâ elegance.
Now he must avoid them.
"Iâm strong enough now. With divine techniques in hand, exterminating transcendent cultivators is like slaughtering chickens and dogs.
Yet not strong enough. Even without having directly fought a Saint, I have some sense. Now, Iâm absolutely no match for the Saint Realm."
"Unable to break through in the short term. For self-preservation, I still need to rely on True and False Changes!"
Over time, the True and False Dao absorbed and accumulated by Zhang Fan has become considerable.
