Li Fan once encountered the remnants of a peculiar civilization in Mountain Sea.
[Yi] Dynastic Mountain Sea Ceremony, Xiao Wangsheng.
Though that ancient dynasty has long vanished into the river of history, Xiao Wangsheng sohow survived and had a fleeting connection with Li Fan.
Through this, Li Fan glimpsed a corner of the ancient Mountain Sea.
At this mont, to verify his speculation, Li Fan felt like he was transford into one of the worshippers of the Mountain Sea Ceremony, searching amidst the myriad lines in the Void Realm for that familiar aura.
From the birth of Mountain Sea till now, innurable years have passed.
But the Yi dynasty once endured and persisted through countless eons; if not for the calamity of Mountain Sea ld, this group that clung to Mountain Sea might not have perished so easily.
Yi, after all, left a trace of its existence in the history of Mountain Sea.
And now...
As if incarnated as a worshipper of Mountain Sea, Li Fan truly sensed the familiar aura of his "holand" amidst nurous surrounding lines!
Those other worshippers he was familiar with, the countless citizens of Yi dynasty, seed not to have perished. Instead, they continued to gather there, calling for his return!
Li Fan followed the trace but ultimately did not see the already annihilated existence.
What he saw was the infinite radiance and shadows that Yi once existed in within Mountain Sea, condensed into a single thread.
This thread represents the mark left by the Yi dynasty civilization within Mountain Sea!
Li Fan returned his consciousness to himself, withdrawing from the spectacle of the Yi dynasty thread. He gazed at his surroundings.
Civilization threads like these...
Infinite, boundless, endless!
Li Fan’s heart was greatly shaken.
"When I first erged from the Primordial, witnessing countless possibilities interflowing within Mountain Sea, I thought I knew the vastness of Mountain Sea."
"But what I’ve seen today, only now do I understand..."
"Mountain Sea’s longitudinal life length along the tiline is no weaker than the extent of its horizontal ’Infinite’."
"Unpredictable, incredibly vast!"
Li Fan also recalled the Strange small Black Box he once fished out in Dao Yan.
It was the manifestation of Sea Ancient Object, revealed in a state of extre Qing and black.
"Initially during the period of Mountain and Sea Devouring God, it existed as one of the nurous algal life forms within Mountain Sea. Through countless years of sedintation, it evolved into such a form."
"Even the period after Mountain and Sea Devouring God might be much longer than I expected."
Algal life forms lack subjective consciousness, possessing only the instinct to survive.
Yet even they have an impression of "extrely ancient" regarding their experiences, enough to illustrate Mountain Sea’s antiquity.
"Originally headed for the mountain, hence called Mountain Lian."
"Originally ca from the sea, hence beca Gui Hai."
"The answer was on the surface all along."
Amid the infinite chaos of civilization threads, Li Fan seemingly discerned the true source of power of Mountain Lian and Gui Hai.
"Each attempt by ancient Mountain Sea civilizations to unify Mountain Lian across the sea is a push for the birth of Saint Lianshan."
"And every process of civilization disappearing, returning to Infinite Sea is a cause for Saint Gui Hai’s ergence."
"Not the effort of a single person at a single ti to ascend the mountain peak, but countless eons, countless civilizations collectively pushing forth. Hence the astonishing leap!"
Li Fan could not help but recollect when Saint Lianshan once recounted his experience at the mont he first ascended and encountered the Thread of Fate.
After Mountain Lian ascended, the Thread of Fate seed to have encountered an extrely fearso event, fleeing hurriedly.
"Now thinking back, maybe when Mountain Lian succeeded instantly, the Thread of Fate, like , glimpsed its true face."
"The power source of Saint Lianshan actually is the sum of all attempts at ’Mountain Lian’ that have yet to be completed. This ans all who attempted the ascent serve as His nourishnt."
"What the Thread of Fate saw at that mont, perhaps was a terrifying monster standing upon a pile of countless Bones. It’s not surprising it fled in fear."
Though understanding the thod by which the Two Saints proved their Tao, Li Fan still couldn’t help having nurous doubts in his heart.
For instance, the abstract concepts such as civilization’s attempt to unify Mountain Lian, and the fall followed by return to inertia, how do they manifest as real existence?
"Mountain Sea Dividing God, leading to the birth of Living Beings and civilizations, is this a necessity, or rely a chance?"
Within the Void Realm, Li Fan had an epiphany.
The Guardian Hill who shared his thoughts simultaneously understood sothing.
"Mr. Fan, do you recall who is the true Master of Eternal Life? In the previous life after Hai Zhen, the Eternal Life Path strangely resisted returning to the Hall of Returning."
"I likewise faintly glimpsed traces of Him among these infinite civilization threads!"
"Only existed within the ancient Mountain Sea, at so mont before. Utilized near-fall thod to prevent His evolution alongside Mountain Sea."
"Perhaps foresaw the resolution in Mountain Sea ld!"
"I vaguely understand His thinking now. The mont Mountain Sea was engulfed by Dao Yan, segnted into countless fragnts. Even the strong Three Saints could not prevent such changes."
"Power inevitably declines due to such segntation; if one wishes to avoid..."
"Then in the ti scale, cut off one’s future!"
"Concentrate all power within one section of Mountain Sea. The Three Saints still need to constantly flow back upstream, slowly regaining peak strength. Yet He preserved His power as much as possible during the Great Calamity of Mountain Sea."
"Thus gaining the upper hand in the struggle for [Mountain Sea Dividing God]!"
Guardian Hill conceived a hundred thoughts from the infinite chaotic civilization threads, deducing the motives of the Master of Eternal Life’s actions.
Under His influence, a storm of thoughts surged in Li Fan’s Spirit Consciousness.
"Mountain Sea Saint appears weak like this, perhaps it doesn’t an they truly perished. It’s very likely akin to [Longevity], cutting off their future, retreating voluntarily."
