Chapter 1528 Sparks Save the World
"Eternal Silence?" This was the second time Li Fan heard this word from Emperor Tai Tian.
Although he had lost most of his memories, in Li Fan's impression, Lord Shouqiu was still a rare strong man in the world. And such a person would actually fall into a difficult situation?
"What exactly is this so-called Eternal Silence?" Li Fan asked.
"Where?" Emperor Tai Tian looked a little strange.
He pointed his finger around: "Here, there, anywhere you have seen... In fact, it can be called the Eternal Silence. Even if it is not now, you will eventually fall into it in the future. This is the fate of all living beings in the mountains and seas."
Emperor Tai Tian's words made Li Fan more confused.
However, this former immortal emperor, who had fallen and only a shadow remained, seemed to be deliberately playing a riddle with Li Fan, and continued to say these seemingly irrelevant words: "At the beginning, I turned into a boat going against the current, and went upstream in the long river of time again and again. At the beginning, with my strength that was almost able to transcend, I could only barely return to three thousand years ago..."
"Three thousand years seems long, but in fact it is just a blink of an eye. With foresight, I did make a lot of arrangements in advance for the arrival of the catastrophe of Dao Annihilation. But in the end it was in vain."
"I can save more true immortals, but I can't save the immortal world."
"So I tried again and again. I tried to go back to the more distant past in order to get more preparation time. As my understanding of the way of retrograde became deeper and deeper, the upper limit of the time I could trace back also continued to increase. From three thousand years, five thousand years, to ten thousand years, and fifty thousand years!"
Although Emperor Tai Tian spoke calmly, the content of his words had already revealed the style of a peerless strong man.
"Even if the boat is full of cracks, I still have hope. Until..."
"That day, I finally saw the end of the long river of time."
Infinite memories surged in the eyes of Emperor Tai Tian.
"The end of the long river of time? How is it possible?" Li Fan was shocked when he heard this. His eyes were full of disbelief. Suddenly, some pictures flashed in his mind, causing a little pain. After a moment, Li Fan finally understood a little.
Emperor Tai Tian continued: "It's like a surging river formed out of thin air. I, who go upstream, can't move forward no matter how hard I struggle in the river!"
"The calamity of Dao Annihilation?" Li Fan slowly uttered four words.
Emperor Tai Tian nodded: "Yes! The Dao Annihilation Tribulation, this horrible disaster, not only devours our world at this point in time. It will also wipe out all traces of our existence in history. Let everything in the world return to nothingness completely!"
"Seventy-four thousand eight hundred and seventy-six years. This is the upper limit of the long river of time that I saw when I went upstream. However, I haven't set out again for a long time. In the years I have been in the painting, I am afraid that this number will be greatly reduced..." Emperor Tai Tian sighed.
Just by listening, Li Fan also felt this irresistible sense of oppression. What could be more despairing than not being able to change fate even if time goes back? He seemed to have followed Emperor Tai Tian all the way, and personally experienced the terrifying scene of the Dao Annihilation Tribulation in the upper reaches of the long river of time, forcing and pouring down step by step.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration came to Li Fan, and he seemed to understand something: "So, the eternal and silent world you mentioned, refers to..."
Emperor Tai Tian nodded: "Yes. The eternal and silent world refers to these places that have been swallowed up by the calamity of Dao Annihilation."
Although he got the other party's explanation, a greater doubt arose in his heart.
"Since the senior said that the calamity of Dao Annihilation has swallowed up everything that used to exist, how did my master and Shou Qiugong [go] to the place that should not exist? Shuttled through the void of time, even Master would certainly face a life-and-death crisis. What is the purpose of risking his life like this?"
Faced with Li Fan's many questions, Emperor Tai Tian did not choose to hide them, but answered them all.
With a wave of his sleeves, a long river with floating lights and shadows flowed between the two.
Emperor Tai Tian used his finger as a sword and gently drew it. The bright image of the long river was directly wiped out a small section in front. Only the second half was left, and the strange scene of continuing to flow in time and space was left.
"Have you ever wondered why the long river of time has been completely swallowed up, but we who are downstream still exist?"
"Without the past as a foundation, can we exist independently? It's like if I go back to your mortal period and kill you directly. Will you still appear in front of me now?"
Li Fan narrowed his eyes slightly. He did think about this question, and subconsciously felt that it was impossible. But the fact that the entire mortal world still exists is here, so Li Fan has to believe this inference.
It seems that the disappearance of the upper reaches of the long river of time will not directly affect the lower reaches. Only when the catastrophe of Dao Yan really affects the "present" will the entire time and space disappear completely.
Emperor Tai Tian looked at Li Fan deeply: "I used to think so, including many powerful people in the fairy world, and even the three saints. Until later..."
"We realized that we were wrong!"
Emperor Tai Tian did not explain in detail how the fairy world Zhuxian discovered its own cognitive fallacy. Instead, he gave an unquestionable conclusion with great confidence.
He waved his hand again, and the image of the long river of time, which was originally horizontal, suddenly stood up.
The image suddenly shrank countless times, and the upstream part of the long river that disappeared was revealed.
"As time goes by, the foundation still exists. We are still living well in the world today, which is the best evidence. It was swallowed up by the catastrophe of Tao Oblivion, but it is just an illusion."
Li Fan looked ahead and saw the wonderful scene displayed by Emperor Tai Tian.
A long and continuous river stretching from bottom to top, emitting light blue light, but was infected by unknown darkness.
became intermittent.
"The invasion of the Taoist Catastrophe did not proceed in the order from ancient times to the present. Instead, it was performed simultaneously in every part of the river. Some historical intervals were caught off guard and disappeared completely. But in other places, it was Survived for now.”
"We are in such a node that still exists!"
Emperor Tai Tian's eyes looked towards the very distant past in the long river of time: "It's still the same problem. The reason why we can exist is precisely because in the darkness that seems to be completely swallowed up, there are still people who are struggling to persevere!"
"One day, if they are all completely lost..."
"We will cease to exist, too."
"We won't even notice how we disappeared. It's like we shouldn't exist in this world. By then, no matter how powerful we are, we may not be able to avoid the fate of destruction. Even if we are in charge of immortality Lord Qiu, the guardian of the great road." Emperor Tai Tian sighed.
"!" Li Fan was shocked.
As his thoughts turned rapidly, he still understood the reason why Duke Shou Qiu went to the Eternal Silence Realm.
It's the rescue.
It’s also self-help.
"After understanding this, the goals of all the strong men in the world will be unified. On the premise of maintaining their own existence, they will cross the time and space of death, go to the last surviving node, and provide assistance. In this way, in the end..."
"Go back to the distant past where the disaster of Dao Annihilation can be completely solved."
"It's a pity that my end has come. I have more than enough ambition, but not enough strength. Going upstream is already my limit. Crossing the time and space of silence is far beyond my ability." Emperor Tai Tian sighed again, looking a little lonely. .
The truth revealed by Emperor Taitian far exceeded Li Fan's expectations.
Even in the past memory, there seems to be no awareness of this aspect.
The brain was in extreme shock, and it was difficult to accept and react for a while.
After a long silence, Li Fan suddenly realized something and asked quickly: "Could it be that our sudden awakening and correct understanding of the current situation of time and space was because..."
Li Fan pointed to the place where he was in the intermittent river of time ahead.
"A guest is coming from the future, traveling across time and space, to help us?" Li Fan's voice trembled slightly.
Emperor Taitian nodded solemnly.
Li Fan stared at the scene in front of him, and seemed to see the feat of all the strong people working together to save the long river of time that was being swallowed up.
The mood is agitated and difficult to let go for a long time.
After a while, he slowly recovered.
After the brief excitement ended, he stared at the scene in front of him, and many questions emerged in his mind again.
How can we cross the time and space of death?
And how can we be sure that by going back to the most ancient times, we can find a solution to the disaster of Taoism? If countless people work together and go through hardships, they finally find that everything is irreversible...
So what should we do?
…
After thinking for a long time, Li Fan finally couldn't hold back and expressed the many doubts in his heart.
Emperor Taitian looked solemn: "If we don't try, then the only thing waiting for us is destruction. If we try, maybe we can win that glimmer of hope."
"We can only hope that those strong men in the ancient past can persist until the day when reinforcements arrive."
Emperor Taitian raised his hand and pointed to the sky.
"You must know that those who can go to the great world on the other side are all powerful men who shocked the past and the present. And there are only one person in billions who are qualified to cross the time and space of silence and go to the eternal silence of the virtual world. Such a person, even if Even if there is no hope, he can still fight for his life, so how can he be affected by the possibility of this crisis?" Emperor Tai Tian's expression was unprecedentedly solemn.
"Although you have the Shouqiu inheritance, transcendence is almost a certainty. But if you still have the same mentality now, you may not be qualified to go further after moving to a bigger stage."
"The Avenue of Immortality can only protect you to live a long and happy life here."
Li Fan looked at the short section of the river of time that Emperor Tai Tian pointed at, and showed a learned expression.
"Who among us monks would not be filled with enthusiasm and be willing to dedicate themselves to this plan if they heard about it? Due to my destiny, I am unable to participate in it. It is really a pity."
"However, you still have a good chance!"
"Perhaps it was fate that I stumbled into this place by mistake." As Emperor Tai Tian spoke, he gradually began to mutter to himself. His expression was a little dazed, as if he had thought of some extremely exciting thought, and his phantom body was originally shrouded in death. A special momentum gradually rose up.
"There is no point in living here anymore. I will teach you the way of retrograde movement that I have learned today!"
"If one day you can go to the Eternal Silence Realm on my behalf to help, then my sacrifice today will not be in vain!"
Emperor Tai Tian seemed to suddenly have an epiphany.
The body is generous and bright.
The figure gradually floats into the retrograde boat and gradually becomes one with the boat.
The retrograde boat suddenly floated up, and then crashed into Li Fan amid lightning and flint.
Li Fan had been deeply touched by Emperor Taitian's heroic words before, and was very moved.
However, the boat was flying towards him uncontrollably, and he instinctively wanted to dodge.
But Li Fan was no match for Emperor Tai Tian.
Even though Emperor Tai Tian was only a shadow left.
So he could only watch as the boat flew into his body.
Boom!
The long river of time shown by Emperor Tai Tian in front of him seemed to crash into Li Fan's mind.
Emperor Tai Tian went upstream again and again, and everything he experienced in the long river of time was now playing out in Li Fan's mind.
It was exactly the same as the scene of being swallowed by his lost memories.
But Emperor Tai Tian obviously took into account Li Fan's "weak" tolerance.
Under the constant washing of fleeting light and shadows, those insignificant scenes gradually faded away.
Only some key things and Emperor Tai Tian's perception of the way of retrograde were left, as if they were precipitated and preserved.
Emperor Tai Tian's inheritance seemed to resonate with Li Fan's loss of memory.
The scenes he had experienced before were stimulated and could no longer be suppressed and burst out from the depths of his mind.
"Zhenzhen?!"
Among the many scenes, Li Fan grasped the most important thing.
He finally remembered the name he gave to the treasure he held.
And the many wonderful uses of [Zhenzhen].
"What's going on? How did Zhenzhen become like this?"
"Not only did the functions of the endless reincarnation disappear, but even the anchor points I set at the beginning disappeared?"
Although some of the lost memories were evoked, Li Fan's mood did not stabilize.
On the contrary, it became more and more turbulent.
In addition, the inheritance of Emperor Tai Tian made the situation worse.
In the Xuanhuang Realm, Li Fan's original body in the secret room of the Taishi Mansion had already exploded into a pool of flesh and blood under this huge pressure. The breath of immortality continuously emerged from the broken body, trying to repair the injuries.
However, the turmoil that Li Fan suddenly caused in his mind this time was too much for him to bear.
Even the longevity path he adhered to seemed unable to save him.
"Zhenzhen! Zhenzhen! Zhenzhen!"
Seeing that things were hopeless, Li Fan had no choice but to shout quickly in his heart.
But a familiar scene happened again.
Zhenzhen didn't seem to hear it, and didn't respond at all.
Li Fan called out several times in a row without giving up.
The result was still the same.
In shock and anger, watching his body being gradually devoured, Li Fan couldn't help but feel despair.
But, in a trance, Li Fan recalled what Emperor Tai Tian said just now.
"Such a person, even if there is no hope, can still fight for his life!"
The panic slowly subsided, and only incomparable determination remained in Li Fan's eyes.
In an instant, he had found his way to survive.
Against, travel, boat!
