My longevity simulation

“If you want to pry into my secrets, you must be prepared to pay a steep price.”

Not to mention the “Like Me” ability that catches first-time observers off guard, the actual combat strength of the Dharma-Transmitter Jiang was not as formidable as Li Fan had imagined.

At the very least, without even using his many hidden cards, Li Fan easily defeated him by relying solely on the collective divine consciousness of a million gods and demons!

“Even if he doesn’t die, he’s gravely injured!”

More crucially, there was the gray mold spot that Li Fan had sent into the opponent’s divine consciousness!

Previously cultivated by Li Fan using the flesh of exotic beasts and sealed with the Seven-Colored Divine Light, this fragmented miniature mold spot was finally unleashed by Li Fan as a world-destroying weapon.

Indeed, Li Fan had genuinely fallen into the trap unknowingly before!

He had truly believed himself to be the Dharma-Transmitter.

Fortunately, he always spoke in vague, cryptic terms. So, during the process of being interrogated by the opponent, he did reveal many of his secrets.

But he didn’t reveal too much.

He exposed the fact that he was in the Spiritwood Realm. However, the Spiritwood Realm was a name Li Fan had given to this small world, unknown to the outside world.

With countless small worlds in the Xuanhuang Realm, which one was the Spiritwood Realm?

The million gods and demons, though derived from the [Three Disasters and Hundred Tribulations Divine Clarity Method] calculated through the Law Derivative Jade, were merely a transformation in form.

Their fundamental prototype was the [Three Perils of Ghosts and Spirits in the Netherworld Record]. So, claiming they were a secret technique of Xuantian or an inheritance from the Immortal Realm was not wrong.

He revealed that Mo Rubin had infiltrated the upper echelons of the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance, but the opponent only knew the name Mo Rubin.

As for who Mo Rubin was…

With so many people in the Immortal Alliance headquarters, let them guess one by one.

He exposed that he knew of the existence of the [Hunger] Immortal within the Immortal Ruins and that he had the ability to drag the Xuanhuang Realm down with him…

This was not necessarily a bad thing. On the contrary, it served as an intangible deterrent.

The truly fatal revelation was that Li Fan had exposed the existence of [Truth].

This was also why, upon regaining clarity, Li Fan immediately released the gray mold spot, which had been sealed for a long time, as a counterattack.

As for why he didn’t immediately use [Truth]…

Li Fan carefully recalled the opponent’s reaction at the time.

“There was more doubt than shock or surprise.”

“He only knows I have [Truth] but doesn’t know its specific use.”

“Of course, it’s not impossible that he might realize it soon after.”

“The premise is that he can stay alive.”

Li Fan pondered for a long time and decided to observe the situation quietly, watching how the Xuanhuang Realm would develop next.

After all, his mind was now united with the heavens and earth of the Spiritwood Realm. If a great enemy came knocking, he had ample time to calmly activate [Truth].

“As for those million thought gods and demons, they truly cannot be kept.”

Facing this immensely powerful force, Li Fan did not hesitate and issued a recall command.

From the countless gods and demons in his sea of consciousness, silver threads flew out. These represented the will energy that dominated and controlled these gods and demons.

After Li Fan extracted them, what remained were mere empty shells.

Although they still possessed combat strength barely equivalent to the Soul Transformation level, they were mindless, acting purely on instinct, and no longer had Li Fan’s commands to expand or multiply.

For the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance to suppress them, though it would still require some effort, the cost would not be as great.

At the last moment, Li Fan informed Mo Rubin of his decision.

Then, he completely severed his connection with these gods and demons.

“Using the sea of consciousness of a million cultivators as a breeding ground, in such a short time, the strength of my divine consciousness has nearly doubled.”

After retracting his consciousness energy, Li Fan examined it and couldn’t help but sigh softly.

“Truly a supreme technique, but unfortunately, it cannot be used often.”

“Next, let’s see how the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance will deal with the remaining gods and demons, as well as that deadly gray mold.”

“I hope they can hold on for a few more years.”

Li Fan settled in the Spiritwood Realm without moving, only closely monitoring the changes in the Xuanhuang Realm through the believers of the True Immortal of Salvation and Mortal Compassion.

At the headquarters of the Immortal Alliance, in the Realm of Returning Ruins.

The Dharma Transmitter Jiang, who had been defeated by Li Fan, reappeared in physical form.

At this moment, his appearance was vastly different from the youthful figure he once had.

His face was like cracked earth, covered with countless fissures.

His hair had turned completely gray.

Even more terrifying, parts of his flesh had become blurry and indistinct.

With a writhing motion, they simply vanished from the world.

Despite his utmost efforts to hold on, Dharma Transmitter Jiang was nearly riddled with holes.

Yet, he did not seek help from other Dharma Transmitters.

Because he knew that the gray mold causing all this was highly contagious.

If he had not made himself a cage, barely containing it with all the power within his body; if this were not the Realm of Returning Ruins, where there was nothing but him and absolute emptiness, leaving no path for the gray mold to spread…

The Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance, and even the entire Xuanhuang Realm, would likely have already been plunged into devastation.

As his life neared its end, for some reason, there was not a trace of fear on Dharma Transmitter Jiang’s face.

He remained extremely calm, analyzing: “The immortal seal script is very similar in structure to the [Chaos] character. They should share the same origin…”

“Could it be that the calamity back then was related to the Xuantian Sect? Impossible…”

Dharma Transmitter Jiang’s face was filled with too many doubts and questions.

Not long after, he was completely consumed by the gray mold.

All that remained was a large, writhing gray-yellow shadow, attempting to spread outward.

But the Realm of Returning Ruins contained only absolute emptiness.

Thus, the gray mold could only be trapped in this small world.

It lingered, unable to advance.

After an unknown amount of time.

A powerful fluctuation swept through the Realm of Returning Ruins at a steady pace.

The gray mold seemed to sense something, boiling like water and surging violently.

Then it rapidly expanded outward.

It was as if it formed a massive gray-yellow sheet, attempting to engulf the entire Realm of Returning Ruins.

But something strange happened.

Wherever the fluctuation passed, the gray mold, of unknown origin and faintly capable of destroying an entire cultivation world, something even Li Fan deeply feared, vanished inch by inch in an instant!

The Realm of Returning Ruins also returned to its previous state of pure emptiness.

No…

Besides the emptiness, there was something else in the Realm of Returning Ruins.

Without any warning, Dharma Transmitter Jiang, who should have already died, reappeared in the Realm of Returning Ruins!

He seemed unsurprised by his resurrection.

But as he looked around, a trace of astonishment appeared on his face: “This time’s [Return to Origin], it left no information at all?”

“What exactly did I encounter?”

“Even the information itself can be corrupted?”

As Dharma Transmitter Jiang murmured to himself, everything happening now, as well as all the events recorded in the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance, surfaced in his mind.

“Failed to catch the culprit and was killed instead.”

“Interesting.”
