Chapter 1104 Heaven and Human Paths Diverge
"The traces of reversed logic appearing from the principles of heaven and earth, to the successful reverse logic and proof of longevity, did not exceed ten years in total."
"Normally, a Dao practitioner has not even completed the first step of reverse logic, but this one has already completed the ascension."
"I almost suspect that this transcendental heavenly venerable might be a survivor from the outside world, already a senior practitioner close to the realm of longevity. That's why everything is going so smoothly," the transmitter Zhou's tone was quite chilling.
"An outsider?" Li Fan, after hearing his words, also fell into contemplation.
"But fortunately, it seems that this venerable heavenly being has no intention of interfering in the disputes of the Xuanhuang Realm. Whether it's us or the Council of Elders, He has not actively appeared for contact. As for the impact of reversing life and death, we are still evaluating it. But it can be foreseen that both sides may become more and more cautious about starting a war in the future," transmitter Zhou said rather sentimentally.
Li Fan also nodded in agreement.
Despite the ability to reverse life and death and seemingly have endless power, the key issue is the time required for resurrection.
And the speed at which new spirits are born in the Xuanhuang Realm has been weakened to the extreme.
Once a significant reduction in numbers occurs, there will be a long window of time for slow recovery. And as the number of resurrections continues to increase, the time required for each resurrection is also estimated to increase.
In the short term, there will be no major problems.
But in the long run...
Suddenly, Li Fan spoke, "Friend Zhou, there's no need to worry too much. If I remember correctly, hasn't your Eternal Immortal League suppressed and put to sleep many practitioners? At critical moments, releasing them could still provide some emergency help."
This time, Li Fan was talking about the practitioners who had been suppressed within the Eternal Immortal Wall by the Eternal Immortal League. This included those who had previously been occupied by the millions of gods and demons he had summoned using the Three Calamities and Hundred Tribulations Divine Law.
Although they had basically lost their self-awareness and were just empty shells, they could still be used as cannon fodder.
Transmitter Zhou looked at Li Fan for a moment and did not answer.
He just politely ended the conversation with a slight smile.
"I have a premonition that the identity of this venerable heavenly being..."
"Perhaps we can jointly test and verify it in the next life. Let's not add any more variables to this life."
Li Fan's eyes flickered as he continued with his preparations.
...
Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, it was already the year 24.
By the Cloud Sea, Li Fan appeared quietly and looked up.
"Because I previously falsely conveyed the will of heaven, it aroused the wrath of the consciousness of the heavenly way. This time, the disaster of the Burning Sea of Crimson Flames not only occurred three years earlier than expected, but the intensity of the flames was also further increased."
Narrowing his eyes, he looked at the crimson figure that seemed to be swaying in the wind.
It was still a vague human form, but different from the solitary figure he had seen before, holding the flame in its hand.
In this incarnation, the Crimson Flame was sitting cross-legged on a cloud of flame, its eyes filled with killing intent as it gazed at the living beings of the Cloud Sea.
On its body, there was still a dragon-like creature coiling around, also staring at the creatures of the Cloud Sea as if they were prey.
Suddenly, as if sensing Li Fan's gaze, they both looked abruptly in his direction.
But Li Fan was enveloped in an array and naturally couldn't be found by them.
"Turns out it's a completely new form I haven't seen before. It seems that my gradual arrangements over the years have caused unease and alertness from the Xuanhuang heavenly way," Li Fan said with a smile.
"But it's a shame, as long as I don't act, no one in this world can predict what I'm planning."
"All your resistance is in vain."
Li Fan did not stop the progress of the Burning Sea of Crimson Flames, just quietly observing from the side.
This time, he did not intend to bring out Mo Sha.
As the strongest in the soul of heaven and earth, once Mo Sha appeared, it would certainly attract the attention of the heavenly venerables in the world.
Even though Li Fan was no longer afraid of them.
But the preparations he had made for the destruction of the world were not something he wanted to be exposed. In order to not affect his plan to disrupt the balance of power, keeping a low profile for the time being was the way to go.
And the reason Li Fan came to the Cloud Sea today was to observe the specific changes that would occur in the process of self-purification in the Xuanhuang Realm.
Having read the Heavenly Healer's "Record of Restoring Heaven" thoroughly, Li Fan had a completely new understanding of the event of the Burning Sea of Crimson Flames.
The Cloud Sea comes from the Heaven Realm, and does not belong to the original Xuanhuang Realm. In the process of the two realms merging with each other, various "repulsive" reactions are bound to occur. The most representative of these are the various strange occurrences that have been happening in different parts of the Cloud Sea.
And the seemingly world-destroying actions of the Crimson Flame were in fact to better promote the integration of the Cloud Sea with the Xuanhuang Realm.
"The same thing, seen from the perspective of humans, and from the perspective of the heavenly way, looks completely different."
"There is no right or wrong."
As the mutated Crimson Flame gradually gathered strength, a layer of sealing power began to appear at the boundaries of the Cloud Sea, trying to prevent living beings from escaping.
And just before this celestial cage was about to take effect, Li Fan saw a group of people hastily disembarking from a boat that had come from the sea.
After finally reaching the shore, they hastily abandoned the boat and fled.
The leader of the group was also someone familiar to Li Fan. It was Zhang Haobo!
In this incarnation, Li Fan had no contact with him. But relying on his own premonitions and his own fortune.
He managed to lead his family and friends out of harm's way before the catastrophe arrived.
"Haobo, we were doing fine on Glass Island. Why did we have to leave our homeland and come to this strange continent?"
"Yeah, Boss. Although I trust you and will always follow you, I still don't understand in my heart."
Facing the questioning of those around him, Zhang Haobo's expression did not change much.
He just unfolded a map, identified the location, and calmly directed everyone to continue their journey.
As they walked, he said, "Haven't you noticed that there seem to be fewer people on the island recently? Since the last time it was said that a master from the Eternal Immortal League came to visit."
"Not only on our island, but on other islands as well, including those masters themselves, everyone has been quietly leaving the Cloud Sea."
"It's quite obvious that something big is about to happen." Zhang Haobo calmly analyzed, "Instead of staying in the Cloud Sea and waiting to die, it's better to come here and take a chance."
The others still looked incredulous at his words.
Some even couldn't help but retort, "But isn't it said that under the great power of the heavenly venerable, everyone can die and be reborn? If you can be resurrected, what is there to be afraid of?"
Zhang Haobo snorted and did not explain.
"Those who are willing to follow me, continue to follow. Those who are not willing, the boat is still at the edge of the sea, you can return on your own at any time." He said indifferently.
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent and did not dare to speak further.
