Chapter 458 The Mortal World Has Become
"Once tainted by the supernatural, all living beings will be plunged into a nightmare of life, turning into monsters that are neither human nor ghost, neither clear nor unclear... This process is irreversible!"
"That's right. No matter how talented or powerful a person is, they cannot escape from such a mysterious situation. Even taking precious medicines will not save them."
"Many powerful figures would rather see their path crumble and their lives destroyed than transform into something like this... No one in the world can rival him, yet Li Lan has managed to do it!"
Everyone who witnessed this scene was utterly shocked and began to discuss it animatedly.
Many peak masters gasped in shock.
"Li Lan is the true savior of the world; he is a true anomaly."
"He can definitely save the other side, he definitely can."
"That's great, that's great!"
They all understood what this meant.
Li Lan's ability to restore the consciousness of these experts from the Dark River is equivalent to his ability to suppress misfortune!
The other shore has collapsed for many years, and the Great Dao has been in decline for thousands of years. People have long been in despair. Who would have thought that one day someone could actually resist or even suppress the strange?
Now, it has appeared.
How could this not be inspiring and exhilarating!
"Young Master Li Lan, you must save the people!"
"Young Master Li Lan is invincible!"
"There is hope on the other side! There is absolutely hope!"
In an instant, almost everyone in the entire Golden Cloud Mountain Secret Realm was shouting Li Lan's name. Some older powerhouses even had tears in their eyes, their old eyes becoming cloudy!
"A truly powerful being who can surpass the Heavenly Emperor, or even rival the creator of the Other Shore... is awe-inspiring."
Meanwhile, in the Dark River, one of the leaders spoke up, saying with conviction, "Anomalies will arise, and everything will change accordingly. Indeed."
"Young Master Li Lan's power upon attaining enlightenment has restored our clarity for a moment. Thank you—"
He cupped his hands towards Li Lan, giving her a slight bow.
Seeing this, everyone's expression became complicated.
This being from the Dark River has stepped beyond the edge of the road, transforming into a strange entity. In the past, he held an extremely high position, but now, he is just as respectful to Li Lan.
Even the supernatural would bow down to him...
"Such divine might is beyond words! Young Master Li Lan, you are destined by Heaven!"
"What destiny? Young Master Li Lan himself is destiny!"
Everyone was deeply moved.
At this moment, everyone on Ancestral Spirit Peak was shocked, and many elders and disciples had fear written all over their faces!
"Did we do something wrong...? He was right."
"The path we've taken is almost bizarre, but Li Lan can suppress the bizarre and pave the way for all living beings..."
"Wrong, all wrong, we've gone astray, but it might not be too late to turn back now..."
They were distraught, their faces etched with self-pity and sorrow.
They followed Luo Changsheng and his daughter not only because they were forced by the peak master, but also because they had no other choice but to board Luo Changsheng's ship.
Now that they have witnessed Li Lan's Dao, and his suppression of the supernatural, to the point that even the supernatural had to bow down, how could they not be greatly shocked?
"We were wrong. Please punish us, Young Master Li Lan. We are willing to die to atone for our sins!"
At that moment, an elder suddenly spoke up. He was extremely solemn and knelt down directly before Li Lan!
"We are willing to atone for our sins, please punish us, young master!"
"I am willing to follow you from now on, young master, and never regret it until death. Please give me a chance, young master. We were indeed misled by villains before!"
"We are innocent, please give us a chance, young master!"
Many other elders and disciples also knelt down instantly!
Whether they sincerely repented or changed their allegiance when things went wrong, they all knew that now, they could only kneel down and wait for Li Lan's forgiveness.
beat?
The accomplished master Gu Shouzhou has already stepped forward. Even the many experts from the Dark River, who were the only ones they could rely on, have been defeated by Li Lan. Their Ancestral Spirit Peak's all-out effort would be nothing more than throwing eggs against rocks.
Pointless.
"How could you... do this?"
Seeing this, Luo Lianyu gritted her teeth, her beautiful eyes filled with resentment!
She gave everything to embark on this path, risking her life and future, and now everything that belongs to her is about to be taken away.
Moreover, it was taken away by Li Lan.
"Our path is the right one. Li Lan is our enemy. For you to kneel before our enemy is tantamount to betraying Feng! Betraying Feng!"
She lost control, turned to look at Luo Changsheng, and said, "Father..."
However, Luo Changsheng's expression also showed endless complexity, and a look of bewilderment appeared in his eyes.
Once upon a time, he, like these peak masters, searched high and low, trying to find a way to solve the strange phenomenon.
But in his despair, he had no choice but to take the path he has taken now, and he believed he was right...
But now that Li Lan has appeared, it has proven just how wrong he was.
"What a pity... is it fate?"
He spoke, a hint of sorrow in his voice, but then shook his head and said:
"Li Lan, if you had appeared sooner, I, Luo, would have risked my life to protect you and never regretted it."
"Unfortunately, it's too late now... Once a move is made in chess, there's no going back. At this point, it's just a matter of life and death!"
His eyes held a final madness and coldness. Then he took a step forward, his figure rapidly expanding. His divine power of "Heaven and Earth Manifestation" had already erupted. He was burning his own life force to kill Li Lan.
"Dare you!"
"You're courting death! How dare you lay a hand on Young Master Li Lan! Your crime is unforgivable!"
"Stop him!"
Everyone was shocked and furious.
Gu Shouzhou stepped forward calmly, already protecting Li Lan behind him, and was about to make a move, but at that moment, a holy purple light instantly slashed towards Luo Changsheng from behind.
Luo Changsheng sensed something and suddenly turned around, forming a hand seal to block it. However, the purple light was too intense, instantly causing him to vomit blood. He staggered backward.
"you……"
Luo Changsheng was furious, and it was the people from the Dark River who made the move.
"They are lost and do not know how to turn back; they are stubborn and unyielding."
The expert from the Dark River shook his head and said, "Since that's the case, then let us suppress you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he made his move again, and at the same time, several other powerful figures from the Dark River also moved together. Instantly, a vast net of power descended to suppress them.
Luo Changsheng tried his best and roared, but even Gu Dengji had been defeated just now, so how could he possibly resist?
"puff--"
He coughed up a mouthful of blood, his body instantly weakening. In this final moment, filled with utter despair, he turned sharply and roared at his daughter:
"Walk--"
As soon as he uttered these words, a burst of dark light erupted from Luo Lianyu's body, tearing through the limitations of space and time, and Luo Lianyu's figure was about to disappear—
"father!"
Luo Lianyu's eyes were filled with tears, her eyes brimming with pain and resentment. She then looked up at Li Lan and said:
"Li Lan, I will make you pay the price—"
Gu Shouzhou, who had achieved enlightenment, and several other experts from Anyou River who had regained their clarity of mind all wanted to intervene, but the dark light was too mysterious and their magic was not enough; her figure had already disappeared!
"The Sage's Artifact of Ancestral Spirit Peak, a supreme treasure refined by a great sage throughout his life, the Sage's Bowl."
The accomplished scholar, Gu Shouzhou, shook his head, somewhat regretfully, and said:
"It's a pity that such a treasure has fallen into the hands of a villain."
The powerful figures of the Dark River also sighed, with the elder at the head saying:
"This woman is the body of the Evil Mother. She has escaped today and entered the strange realm of the other shore. She will surely bring calamity to the world in the future."
He turned his head and looked towards Tian Shi Peak, saying:
"Young Master Li Lan is about to succeed in rectifying the Heavenly Way!"
All eyes turned back to Li Lan. At this moment, Li Lan's forbidden world was filled with rays of light and auspicious clouds, and a strange sense of great joy and transcendence was taking shape within it.
Many rules and unseen forces are destroyed, and many new opportunities are taking shape. This process is extremely mysterious, and only peak masters and figures at the level of Lu Jin in the arena can see its secrets.
"Wait, why do I have a feeling that he also cultivates the Dao of Nothingness?"
At this moment, an old peak master suddenly spoke up in confusion.
“Indeed, there is the Dao of Nothingness, and that aura… is very strong, as if it can turn everything into nothingness, making it completely cease to exist.”
"This aura is like nothingness, like the absence of the Dao, like the absence of birth, and like the absence of beginning..."
"But how is that possible? The Dao of Existence and Non-existence are opposites. To attain the supreme Dao, one must sacrifice the entire forbidden world. If the forbidden world is preserved, it is impossible to obtain the supreme Dao. This is a theorem!"
Everyone was shocked.
Previously, Li Lan's forbidden world had not yet fully taken shape, so they had no experience with it.
Now, Li Lan's enlightenment is nearing its end, and the world has already appeared in this world, which the present world has already acknowledged.
Therefore, the Dao and Law, Creation and the Darkness in his forbidden world instantly became perceptible to everyone.
"The path of having or not having is different, and there is a choice between the two; that is for ordinary people."
At this moment, Gu Shouzhou shook his head and said:
“Young Master Li Lan received the true teachings of the Heavenly Emperor and developed his own Great Dao. He has long since transcended the boundaries between existence and non-existence. He can have the Dao of Existence if he wants it, and he can use the Dao of Non-existence if he wants it.”
"How magnificent! One who possesses both existence and non-existence, and who holds the reins of the entire Dao, is unique in the world!"
He was filled with emotion, and everyone who heard his words was once again shocked.
"Having both self and other, yet holding sway over the entire Dao... There can't possibly be such a person in this world!"
"Truly invincible! Such talent is unprecedented and unparalleled throughout history!"
"Looking across the world, Young Master Li Lan is undoubtedly the strongest and most unparalleled!"
Everyone couldn't help but speak up.
"I finally understand why, whenever a Dao Breaker appears, the Other Shore automatically generates the Gate of the Other Shore to guide them."
At this moment, an old man from the Dark River also spoke up with a sigh, saying:
"Perhaps the supreme being who created the Other Shore had already foreseen this day, so he placed his hopes for resolving the calamity on the Dao Breakers."
"The Gate to the Other Shore has opened several times, and what this gate is truly waiting for... is Young Master Li Lan!"
He spoke each word with absolute certainty: "Young Master Li Lan is the destined extraordinary one who will quell all chaos!"
Upon hearing this, the entire audience was stunned.
Before the Other Shore was corrupted, all parties had a divine covenant: whenever a person who breaks through the Dao appears in the world, no matter where in the chaotic world or the wild wilderness, the gate to the Other Shore will automatically open to welcome them.
Before this, people thought it was to welcome geniuses, a blessing from the heavens, or that it was the Great Dao perfecting itself.
But now that everyone has witnessed Li Lan's attainment of supreme enlightenment, they are surprised to realize that there may be a deeper meaning behind it.
If there truly exists a supreme being who created the Other Shore, then perhaps the purpose of leaving such a gate for future generations was to resolve the strange calamity.
"Is it very possible that the Gate to the Other Shore is that supreme expert's backup plan?"
"The Gate to the Other Shore once awaited one person: the Heavenly Emperor. However, the Heavenly Emperor chose a different solution. He wanted to return to the chaotic and turbid world, establish a new Other Shore, and guide all living beings. Unfortunately, he failed..."
"Now, his successor has finally arrived and found the right path... This is a grand scheme that lasts for eternity!"
"However, what exactly happened to that supreme being who created the Other Shore World? Was someone of his power powerless against the strange phenomena? Why has he disappeared without a trace? Where is he now?"
"Throughout the years, there seems to be a terrifying history that remains unknown to most."
Many people were deeply moved and shocked.
Suddenly glimpsing a corner of this magnificent epic, the moment the curtain of truth was drawn back, left them all feeling breathless.
The various peak masters present, including Gu Dengji, Gu Shouzhuo, and many experts from the Dark River, were all prominent figures in this world. However, at this moment, they all felt a sense of insignificance.
Time shapes everything, but most people are just ants.
Time and space are like chess pieces; even someone as powerful as them is not qualified to become a pawn.
In fact, if we hadn't witnessed Li Lan's creation of the Dao today, and if these Dark River experts hadn't revived, perhaps many people would never have understood the most fundamental mysteries of this world, even until their death.
Being born without knowing why, and dying without knowing who caused it, is not just the norm for the common people at the bottom of society.
They are like dragons looking down on ants, but in this world, to those who are the strongest, they are perhaps just slightly stronger ants!
"Countless years ago, a supreme being created the Other Shore. Perhaps he faced some great calamity, or perhaps he simply didn't have time... In any case, he knew that something would go wrong on the Other Shore, so he left the gate there for those who would come after him."
"The Heavenly Emperor came, but he failed."
"Now, the person we've been waiting for has arrived."
Many people murmured, they understood the past of the other side, knew the ins and outs of everything, and all of them had a sense of sudden enlightenment.
"We were still dreaming before..."
"Young Master Li Lan is truly the one destined for us. From this day forward, we will follow him to the death!"
"Indeed, the stronger Young Master Li Lan is, the greater our hope. He will surely be able to save the entire Other Shore!"
Everyone spoke up, and at this moment, their eyes were filled with trust, even worship, as they looked at Li Lan!
At this moment, Li Lan's forbidden world had been fully formed.
Boom!
Between heaven and earth, the might of the Great Dao surged like layers of waves, and that forbidden world was vast and boundless, filled with the turbulent energy of the mortal world.
In this world, there are vast plains where endless galloping horses rush across the tender green grass, letting out the most primal roars of life between heaven and earth.
There are rushing rivers where schools of fish swim upstream, overcoming all obstacles and sowing the seeds of life across the land.
In the simple alleyways of the city, the cries of a baby and the joy of a midwife rang out together, and a life was born in the night.
That's a caterpillar transforming into a butterfly, a kitten playing carefree, and a monkey leaping from the forest.
That too is a civilization being written by swords and knives, a chessboard traversed by war gods and sages, an endless drama of emperors, generals, scholars, and beauties in history, and the lives of ordinary people who do their utmost to shine and give off heat, ultimately turning into smoke and clouds in history.
That is the bustling world of mortals, a never-ending cycle!
