My Simulated Road to Immortality
Chapter 1721: 1414

Chapter 1721: Chapter 1414

“Ultimately, whether we can survive or not is what matters most,” Emperor Tri-Moa said in an incredibly profound tone.

In the Great Vortex of Realm Rending, the wind surged and clouds billowed, with torrential rain falling constantly throughout the year. The traces of where Nanming Mountain once existed have long vanished into the river of history.

After a long silence in the scene, Emperor Tri-Moa spoke again: “Besides evading the relentless pursuit of that Nameless True Immortal from the Human Clan, we are also being forced to constantly flee from the impending World-ending Calamity. Although we have been lucky enough to always find the Ancient Cangyuan Essence to leap and escape, certain facts we have discovered inevitably breed pessimism in our hearts.”

“To prevent these emotions from having a fatal impact on the tribe, Emperor One chose to fractal and evolve these emotions, then let them fade away on their own…”

Li Fan naturally understood the powerful and eccentric Demonic Beasts within the Demon Clan. He sharply picked up the key point in Emperor Tri-Moa’s words: “Facts?”

“Countless futures, infinite possibilities. This was our original general understanding of all worlds. But through subsequent jumping and escaping, we began to doubt this understanding. Theoretically, each leap should lead to a brand-new possibility, and the time node we arrive at should be random. For instance, if we’re lucky enough, we could arrive in a world where the twelve Primordial Dao Forms haven’t yet been massacred and the tribes remain strong.”

“Perhaps it’s due to our misfortune that we haven’t encountered it yet. If that were the only issue, it would be bearable, but…”

Emperor Tri-Moa’s expression became incredibly serious: “What truly terrifies us is that with each leap, the time node we arrive at continually pushes forward. Although we’ve jumped through possibilities, it seems we haven’t reversed our position in the time dimension.”

“That’s why I always describe it as [possibilities] instead of a timeline.”

Li Fan and Qiao Sidao immediately grasped the meaning in Emperor Tri-Moa’s words.

Qiao Sidao lowered his head in contemplation, concealing the fear in his heart.

Meanwhile, Li Fan thought about how each time he activated [Hai Zhen], he reset the time nodes of the whole Mortal World.

“The Path-obliterating Calamity isn’t just destroying countless possibilities. It also seems to be devouring the river of time of the entire Mortal World from upstream.”

“No matter how I activate Hai Zhen, I can never return to a point earlier than year 1.”

“Furthermore, considering if the Mortal World didn’t possess an artifact like [Hai Zhen], wouldn’t that mean…”

“An inevitable tribulation?” Li Fan’s eyes flashed.

If what Emperor Tri-Moa said is true, then the scale of the Path-obliterating Calamity, its frightening extent, and the importance of [Hai Zhen] might far exceed his imagination.

However, Li Fan had never crossed possibilities without using [Hai Zhen], so he couldn’t ascertain the truth of the information provided by Emperor Tri-Moa.

It might simply be that the Demon Clan has been incredibly unlucky, always crossing possibilities in the direction of the “future.”

In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Li Fan’s spirit consciousness. But without any verification at present, uncontrolled speculation was useless. Thus, he turned his thoughts back to the Xuanhuang World and the discovered remnants of the Ancient Cangyuan Essence.

Li Fan asked Emperor Tri-Moa to describe the location of the ruins and detailed circumstances.

His heart stirred slightly as he sketched a map of the original Xuanhuang World in the air, pointing to a central location: “Is it here?”

After carefully distinguishing it for a while, Emperor Tri-Moa nodded.

Li Fan immediately had a vague answer.

The location of the Ancient Cangyuan Essence should be the core of the formation center of the Ancient Immortal Formation in the Xuanhuang World. Its antiquity pre-dates the Floating Star Crossing Formation of King of Mystic Sky, tracing back to the creation of the Xuanhuang World.

“My previous speculation was that the Xuanhuang World was initially created as an experimental site for researching how to resist the Path-obliterating Calamity. For example, the extreme similarity between Mo Sha and the Dao Yan Black Qi during the Path-obliterating Calamity, and the countless figures resembling Mo Sha that briefly appeared when the black qi from a previous cycle spread like a flood, all undeniably validate my speculation in some way.”

“Previously, my understanding of the Path-obliterating Calamity remained at the mere presence of black qi, without realizing this calamity could even affect countless possibilities.”

“I’ve only just begun to touch upon the Path-obliterating Calamity. In the past Immortal World, there were even Nameless True Immortals. They must have had an understanding of the Path-obliterating Calamity even deeper than the Demon Clan’s.”

“Thus, leaving behind an experimental site in the Xuanhuang World capable of jumping timelines can be understood.”

Li Fan couldn’t help but recall when he saw a scene from the memory of a True Immortal in the True Immortal Flesh.

“…琼琅星域…湮…Guard…”

“…Find the target.”

When his understanding of the Path-obliterating Calamity reached a certain depth, revisiting this passage, Li Fan sensed certain information that was previously undetectable.

“The Immortal World wasn’t entirely powerless against the Path-obliterating Calamity. The calamity didn’t suddenly devour all existences within every possibility but rather gradually caused different areas to fall. This might have been the contribution of the Immortal Heavenly Pillars, made from Nameless True Immortal Corpse materials.”

“Furthermore, after hearing news that the Qionglang Star Domain was engulfed by the Path-obliterating Calamity, I did not feel any particular panic in the memory from the True Immortal Flesh. Clearly, the people of the Immortal World at that time weren’t entirely pessimistic about the Path-obliterating Calamity.”
