Chapter 1830: Chapter 1470: The True Legacy of Hai Zhen_2

In the eyes of Li Buren, the giant vortex formed by the Immortal Ruins is devouring everything in the world.

And what he has to do is build a dam outside the vortex to prevent anything from entering it.

Just like the High Wall that separates the inside and outside of the experimental field!

“Set!” Li Buren silently recited in his heart.

Like a body of stars in a Dao Network, it began to shine again.

It was like a giant stone blocking the monstrous waves, but contrary to logic, not a single splash flew. Instead, just as in the Abyss Star Ocean, the suction force being blocked gathered at the foot of the High Wall.

With that call from Li Buren, the True Immortal suction force that had ravaged the Abyss Star Ocean for ten thousand years was easily contained within ninety-nine zhang of the Hungry Immortal.

Li Buren had a premonition that he could continue to compress and push the “Second High Wall” inward. But that might affect the final enlightenment of the Hungry Immortal.

So he stopped at the right moment.

The suction force, like the overflowing waves, congealed yet did not disperse. It gathered, wrapping around under the High Wall.

Li Buren saw, as if vaguely, the image of Lord Guardian Hill gazing at the Mountain Sea. He was slightly stunned.

The reason for this strange phenomenon, where the suction force from the Immortal Ruins was blocked by the High Wall and gathered, was finally somewhat understood by Li Buren today.

“The power of the Immortal comes from the Infinite Sea.”

“And the High Wall, which is also the power of Lord Guardian Hill’s shadow, partly comes from the Mountain accompanying the Infinite Sea.”

“Mountain and Sea, originating from the same source. Not entirely opposed, so they can attract each other to some extent.”

“Therefore, in a sense, the anomaly at the Starry Sea Frontier of the Abyss Star Ocean is a projection of what Lord Guardian Hill saw in the past.”

Standing at the edge of the Second High Wall, feeling a surge of inspiration, countless insights blossomed in Li Buren’s heart.

Without the disturbance of the suction force from the Immortal Ruins, the time flow rate in the Abyss Star Ocean finally returned to normal.

But the living beings within the Star Sea were unaware of this drastic change.

Only Li Fan slightly raised his head, looking toward the center of the Abyss Star Ocean.

Once connected to the essence of the Star Sea, he vaguely sensed the jubilant emotions from the other side. It wasn’t just because the threat of the Immortal Ruins had vanished, but seemed to come from synchronizing with the outer Star Sea.

Li Fan didn’t pay attention to Him for now but instead looked at his own Hai Zhen panel.

The moment the time flow rate inside and outside the High Wall returned to alignment, the number that represented the lifespan limit of the Mortal World subtly changed in a flash.

But the change was not significant.

It only reduced from 7.36 million years to 7.23 million years.

“It’s not the impact of me establishing the Second High Wall. It should be the change in the time flow rate of my environment.”

“That is to say, the time difference inside and outside the High Wall is insignificant to the lifespan of the entire Mortal World.”

“But the lifespan displayed by Hai Zhen, how exactly is it calculated?”

Li Fan was a bit puzzled.

Pondering in such issues is destined to be fruitless. So Li Fan decisively chose to directly ask Hai Zhen. With the precedent of prior teachings, Hai Zhen didn’t respond with silence this time.

A vast influx of light and shadow data swept into Li Fan’s Spirit Consciousness in an instant.

His brow was stung with pain as Li Fan instinctively engaged in selective viewing.

It seemed that knowing Li Fan’s current capabilities were not enough to fully accept this casually transmitted image, this segment of light and shadow had already been diminished.

Unable to see clearly, only a vague direction could be discerned.

“This is…”

“Taking my current strength as a fixed model, immortality as a premise, simulating the maximum possible value.”

Though slightly convoluted, Li Fan quickly understood what Hai Zhen wanted to convey.

He carefully gazed at the swiftly flying light and shadow before him, the over 7 million years passing like a fleeting glance, lasting only thirty-three breaths.

Ultimately, all light extinguished, and even darkness failed to remain.

It vanished directly from Li Fan’s Spirit Consciousness.

And when Li Fan tried to recall the specific contents of the image he had just glimpsed, he found there was no memory left.

He only vaguely remembered that Hai Zhen had once shown him a simulated scene.

“The annihilation of the Mortal World, huh.”

“The so-called lifespan limit is measured from the perspective of my, the vessel of Hai Zhen.”

“The future holds endless possibilities, but the current simulation derivation takes my present strength as the main perspective to simulate the result.”

“In this simulated derivation, although I won’t die, my cultivation base won’t make any progress. I can only silently observe the changes in the Mortal World like a spectator…”

Li Fan narrowed his eyes.

He couldn’t help but recall the previous change in the Mortal World’s lifespan panel when the Dark Heavenly Doctor broke through the High Wall.

The number rapidly increased from over 7 million years until it seemed endless.

“In that simulation by Hai Zhen, though I didn’t die, I still fell into the hands of the Dark Heavenly Doctor.”

“Nameless True Immortal’s bone followed Hai Zhen across borders. Naturally, the Dark Heavenly Doctor could do so as well. So it must be certain that my end was not favorable. Perhaps becoming an existence like Yan Fajue…”

“And the Dark Heavenly Doctor, with Hai Zhen’s help, nearly saved the Mortal World from catastrophe.”

Having thought this through, Li Fan let out a cold snort in his heart.

His perspective remained unchanged.

To sacrifice himself to save the Mortal World was utterly impossible.

“The Mortal World only has meaning because of my existence. If I perish, though the Mortal World might be eternally unperishing, what does it matter to me?”

“Moreover, in the derivation by Hai Zhen, even if the Dark Heavenly Doctor gained Hai Zhen’s power, the lifespan limit of the Mortal World is still a specific number.”

“And not infinite!”

“Even though this number is extremely large, unimaginably so, ultimately it will face annihilation one day.”

“If the conclusion doesn’t change, whether seven million years or seventy billion years…”

“There is no difference.”

Perhaps it was a mysterious influence from that scene Hai Zhen demonstrated just now, Li Fan felt as though his state of mind was elevated a great deal.

He could even indifferently ignore that huge number representing the possible lifespan of the Mortal World in his memory.

It seemed he had become gently aware of that prolonged epoch, ultimately culminating in the end of extinction.

Moreover, deep within his heart, an undeniable idea emerged with unwavering determination.

Breaking free from the fate of Dao Yan.

This confidence emerged without any basis.

And as time went by, it slowly faded as well.

But when Li Fan himself fully recovered, he felt that his previous thoughts were somewhat arrogant.

Yet as he pondered carefully, he vaguely guessed that it must have been some notion that came to him during that long era he seemed to experience.

So Li Fan felt very composed in his heart.

When he wanted to confirm his guesses with Hai Zhen, Hai Zhen fell into silence again.

But Li Fan’s mood was not affected.

“Silence, not denial.”

Having been with Hai Zhen for such a long time, Li Fan could more or less fathom its ponderous way of abiding.

Convinced of being the rightful heir of [Huanzhen], Li Fan was in great spirits.

Coming back to his senses, he again looked toward the Immortal Ruins.

Standing as a wall to the suction force of the Ruins of Immortality, Li Buren was also subtly sensing the changes in power arising from the Hungry Immortal’s enlightenment.

“Because the change in time flow caused by this power, last time it took the Abyss Star Ocean to reach equilibrium.”

“This time will definitely not take that long.”

“Moreover…”

Observing, Li Buren noted that because of the existence of the Second High Wall he established with his own hands, the suction force accumulating at its base to hinder the impact of the Hungry Immortal on the outside world to a certain extent.

This significantly reduced the impact of the Second High Wall on the outside world.

Lowered its effect on the lifespan of the Mortal World.

As Li Buren’s mind settled, he looked down once again at the Immortal Ruins beneath him.

Besides the vast ruins, the most conspicuous thing was the huge character [Hunger].

“The source of this hunger character’s evolution…”

“Is precisely from the remnant of the Nameless True Immortal who proved the Dao with hunger under the Hungry Immortal.”
