Stealing the Secret from the Cover of Heaven

Chapter 626: Popularity Dissipated
Outside of all worlds, a place surrounded by nothingness.

There is no concept of space, no flow of time, and it is not involved in any cause and effect.

The game between Li Zhi and Ye Fan is still going on.

Most of the destiny line of Zhatian that Li Zhi had moved on had already been completed.

Looking at the chess piece that had been living in disgrace and scheming, but still hadn't widened the gap with the world's genius, Ye Fan rarely showed a happy smile.

"It seems that the great fortune gained by stealing the secrets of heaven cannot make you the master of destiny in this era."

“How can we see the results until the end?”

"You didn't get enough luck after the two times you opened the path to becoming an immortal. You didn't even get as much luck as Weiwei. Do you dare to say that you can dominate this world?"

"I didn't expect the throne of the Great Emperor to fall to someone else. The Great Emperor Jinwu is indeed destined to be an emperor, and he has much deeper accumulation than the Lord of the Divine Court, the Immortal Queen, and the old man who chops wood."

"If the Golden Crow Emperor had not met me back then, with his abilities, he might have taken advantage of the Fusang Sacred Tree to go one step further and transformed into a pure-blooded three-legged Golden Crow. After all, the Golden Crow clan has the blood of the Heavenly Emperor flowing in their bodies."

"Yeah, everyone underestimated him, even me."

At this time, in the world of Bubble Sky, the Golden Crow Emperor had already achieved enlightenment, but Li Zhi, who went to Beidou in place of Ye Fan, still failed to become an emperor even though he had obtained many fortunes on the ancient Beidou star.

It is indeed difficult for mortals to practice in the world of Shrouding the Heavens.

Looking at the painting that was about to end, Ye Fan asked: "How do you plan to turn the tide next? Do you want to seal yourself up and wait for an opportunity, or do you try your best to achieve enlightenment against the will of heaven?"

"The Heaven-Devouring Demonic Art is a good thing. In this world where bloodline is everything, it provides mortals with an opportunity to defy fate and change their destiny." Li Zhi said.

"Are you planning to switch to practicing the Heaven-Devouring Demonic Art? Aren't you afraid of being besieged by the whole world?" Ye Fan said.

"The geniuses with special physiques have grown into towering trees. Don't you think that harvesting them now is the time to demonstrate the ultimate mystery of the Heaven-Devouring Demon Art?" Li Zhi said.

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Zhi in the world of Bubble Sky began his journey of devouring all living things.

The character he created before made most cultivators not regard him as an opponent, but Li Zhi set up traps in advance and began to reap the people with special physiques in the world.

In order to create a true chaotic body, he even constantly used the technology of the Eternal Star Domain to clone the bodies of those with special physiques, and then let them pass through the multi-disciplinary team to breed stronger individuals.

This move also provoked resistance from monks from all over the universe.

Li Zhi became notorious for a while, and finally turned to evil.

Cooperate with the Supreme of the Forbidden Zone to study the ultimate secret of bloodline.

For a moment, the entire universe turned into a bloodline trial field.

Creatures with special bloodlines were directly transformed by them into seeders, multiplying their bloodlines on various life stars in the universe.

For a time, creatures with some special Taoist bloodlines became too numerous.

Even the Golden Crow Emperor felt his scalp tingling, shocked by the crazy experiment conducted by Li Zhi and the Forbidden Zone Supreme.

At the coffee table outside Bubble, Ye Fan spat out the tea he had just drunk after seeing this scene.

"Are you so perverted?" Ye Fan couldn't help but complain.

"It's not that I'm perverted, but the world of Shrouding the Sky is too gentle. The darkness in the past was just a shitty darkness. It can continuously give birth to future emperors and let them catch up with the emperors in front. Don't you think this is an unreasonable setting?" Li Zhi explained forcibly.

In fact, he had not expected that Li Zhi, who had completely let go of the shackles of morality in the bubble world, would actually do so many outrageous things.

He even went so far as to cooperate with the Supreme of the Forbidden Zone, and criticized them for their crude method of directly devouring the life essences of the people.

In response to this, Li Zhi developed the main god space, developed the system addition, and developed the monkey version of the virtual god world.

The means of harvesting the life essence of cultivators have become more diverse, and even with the help of the Source Heavenly Divine Array, those life essences can be brewed.

In the end, he brewed a Life-Essence Pill that was as effective as the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill.

Let the creatures in the world of Shrouding the Sky experience firsthand what true darkness is.

Even Emperor Jinwu joined this group in his later years.

The world became extremely dark, and it seemed as if all living beings could no longer see the sun.

"When it comes to creating darkness, you are indeed a professional." Seeing everything that happened in the bubble world, Ye Fan sighed after a moment of silence.

"You don't deserve such praise. I have said it before, as long as the emperor is alive, the darkness will never end. In a world where immortality is possible, darkness can never be eliminated. It can only accumulate more and more, and the world will become darker and darker, and eventually the whole world will be destroyed." Li Zhi said.

At this point, the ending in the bubble world no longer matters.

Li Zhi also admitted that without Ye Fan's life, forcing himself to follow Ye Fan's path would only lead to death.

However, if you change your perspective and actively throw yourself into the darkness, you will find that the world suddenly becomes broader.

It seems as if the whole world should be like this.

While the two were talking, Li Zhi in the bubble world finally accomplished a shocking event. He transformed the Dao patterns left by the Emperor in the world, and then completely broke the Heavenly Heart Seal.

From then on, there were no more great emperors in the world.

If one wants to reach the pinnacle of humanity, one can only rely on one's own accumulation and break through all the laws of heaven and earth to become an emperor.

In the days without the Great Emperor, the world became extremely dark. The Supreme of the Forbidden Zone raised all living beings as livestock, but he never imagined that Li Zhi was also indirectly planning to cultivate them as materials for alchemy.

With the help of the power of the Emperor's Immortality Cauldron and the Dao patterns that constitute the World Cauldron, Li Zhi put all the Forbidden Zone Supremes into the cauldron for smelting, and finally obtained a Super Emperor Pill.

Let him live another life, and transform into a rare special Taoist body. The Wanhua Taoist body can change into any kind of physique.

After seeing this scene, Ye Fan seemed not to want to see the next scene, and directly shattered the bubble world.

In an instant, the bubble world disappeared, as if it had never been born.

Ye Fan personally poured a cup of enlightenment tea for Li Zhi.

"What do you think is the value of our existence?" Ye Fan asked.

He had seen that Li Zhi seemed to be full of pessimism about the world and did not approve of their actions, as if there was no difference between darkness and light, and both would eventually disappear in the ancient scroll.

"Hasn't that senior's experience already given the answer?" Li Zhi said.

“The world is big, yet small. Perhaps immortality is never the answer. Only by escaping the cycle of birth and death, and the distinction between good and evil, can we see the value of existence.” Ye Fan said.

"It seems that you already understand." Li Zhi said.

"The return of my true self has only helped to reduce the traces left by that senior here. Perhaps, when all three of them return, that senior will be able to finally get what he wanted." Ye Fan said.

Speaking of the patient, even Ye Fan, who has returned to his true self, cannot let it go.

Their current achievements are inseparable from the influence of that predecessor.

No matter whether it is the three Heavenly Emperors, the ancestor of Pollen Road, or the Great Emperor of Henren, all of them have some special connection with the patients or their relics to reach their current level.

Only Li Zhi's current state seems to have little to do with the patient.

"Can you tell me your true origin?" Ye Fan suddenly asked.

"Haven't you already seen the answer in the long river of time?" Li Zhi said.

"Those forked timelines are all created out of nothing. I don't know where the starting point is?" Ye Fan said.

"Perhaps, when you are completely forgotten, when you forget your reputation as Emperor Ye Tian, ​​forget your glorious past, forget all your experiences, then you will understand where I come from." Li Zhi said. "Is this the reason why that senior didn't want to stay in ancient history?" Ye Fan sighed.

"Whether it is true or not, you need to judge it yourself. For me, forgetting the deeds of that predecessor is the most important thing." Li Zhi said.

"Do you also want to burn your body and disappear from this ancient history?" Ye Fan said with a smile.

“It’s not impossible. Since living has become an obstacle, then death is the only option.” Li Zhi said.

As soon as these words came out, Ye Fan suddenly moved.

The long river of time, the network of cause and effect, the origin of all things, and the pictures of all worlds all appeared around him.

The supreme divine power belonging to the Emperor of Heaven imprisoned all those things, and then he unraveled the reason for Li Zhixin's life and death.

However, Ye Fan still got nothing in the end.

"I didn't even notice it." Ye Fan's expression was extremely serious.

For a creature that can live forever, suddenly wanting to die is not a good sign.

This feeling is often the easiest to become true.

Back then, the Three Generations Bronze Coffin had the ability to reflect the end of a living being, which was already a very remarkable thing.

Now, Li Zhi, who has achieved the only Dao Fruit, actually wants to die, so Ye Fan has to take it seriously.

"No need to look for it. The reason you don't want to die is because someone still needs you. But I am different. I have already felt that my life is running out and the end seems to be right in front of me." Li Zhi persuaded hurriedly.

"What on earth could be the reason that could end your life? Even I don't have that ability." Ye Fan said.

"Maybe this is my fate. I can't continue to create value. No matter how high my cultivation level is, I will die." Li Zhi said with a hint of meaning.

However, Ye Fan's life fire was still as strong as before, even stronger than at the beginning, so he naturally could not understand Li Zhi's feelings.

But after Li Zhi's reminder, two special divine lights bloomed in Ye Fan's eyes, and he saw that the popularity of Li Zhi was gradually dissipating.

Although he was healthy and had no disasters, Li Zhi's popularity seemed to be less than one hundredth of what it was when they first met.

"Your luck is almost gone." Ye Fan looked at Li Zhi in surprise.

"When Qi gathers, one lives; when Qi disperses, one dies. Isn't this the destiny of life?" Li Zhi seemed to understand the reason why he was about to die, but he couldn't tell Ye Fan.

Obviously, he was unable to transcend the shackles of ancient history and could not truly become a writer.

However, the person who drew up this blueprint of the heavens outside the painting obviously failed.

"Something's wrong. Something's wrong with you." Ye Fan finally saw the clue.

Among all living beings in the heavens and myriad worlds, no one has a destiny as special as Li Zhi's.

Even among the opponents he had killed, none had experienced such a precipitous decline in luck as Li Zhi.

Nowadays, Li Zhi's popularity seems to be moving closer to those mortals who are unable to practice.

"Li Zhi, can you let me give it a try?" Ye Fan asked Li Zhi for his opinion. He was actually helpless against such a strange thing, which actually aroused his fighting spirit.

Originally, he thought that he had entered the realm of omnipotence. After all, he could change things in the timeline at will, and there was almost nothing he could not handle.

However, the strange things that happened to Li Zhi made him terrified, and he worried that the same day would happen to him in the future.

After getting Li Zhi's consent, Ye Fan disappeared from all worlds, and when he appeared again, he had arrived in the heavens and myriad worlds.

Li Zhi witnessed with his own eyes a statue belonging to him being deified by Ye Fan and offered up a token of his faith.

However, that power of faith, unlike other powers of faith, could be preserved, but disappeared the moment it sank into the statue.

Outside of the world.

Li Zhi raised his head and drank the enlightenment tea in his hand, then looked towards the void with a complicated expression and said, "Is this my end? Can you tell me how long I have left to live?"

In the void, no one responded to Li Zhi, as if he had gone insane and started talking to himself.

And in the world of the heavens, seeing that the Conferred God Ceremony could not increase Li Zhi’s popularity, Ye Fan appeared in Ye Yishui’s heaven.

"Father, you..."

After seeing Ye Fan, Ye Yishui was extremely shocked. All the arrangements for Ye Fan's return had not yet been made, so why did he return early?

"Father came here today because I want to ask you for help with something. I have seen your efforts over the years. You are very good, so try to surpass your father as soon as possible. As for your sister, forget it, I'll talk to them." Ye Fan looked at his eldest son who had become the real Emperor of Heaven, his heart filled with complicated emotions.

Like most fathers, his relationship with his son was fraught with complexity.

At that time, there were enemies all around, and that complicated relationship was not exposed.

However, when the strange ancestor on the plateau was destroyed, the family lost external pressure and complex internal conflicts broke out.

He didn't know how to deal with it.

His parents died early when he needed to consider the father-son relationship.

But now, as a father, he has some difficulty in handling relationships within the family.

"Father, you came to see me because you want me to do something?" Ye Yishui saw Ye Fan's embarrassment and quickly changed the subject.

"There is one thing that your father needs the help of your Heavenly Palace for." Then, Ye Fan told Ye Yishui about Li Zhi's situation.

"Uncle Li has returned? Sister Li is still looking for his whereabouts everywhere." Ye Yishui said in surprise.

With the help of the great fortune of Heaven, Li Xianer successfully broke through to the realm of sacrifice, but still could not find the whereabouts of Li Zhi.

From the initial joy of seeing the evolutionary path being paved, to the current helplessness.

Soon, Li Xianer, who was outside looking for Li Zhi's whereabouts, was called back by Ye Yishui.

After seeing Ye Fan, Li Xianer quickly asked: "Uncle Ye, where is my father now?"

"Your father is fine, it may take some time for him to see you." Ye Fan didn't know whether he should tell Li Xianer the truth.

In the end, he did not tell the truth, but asked Ye Yishui and Li Xianer to jointly create a statue of the Taoist master for Li Zhi in the Heavenly Palace.

It seemed that he wanted to use the special identity of Daozu to let Li Zhi enjoy the luck of opening up the path of evolution.

But outside of the world, although Li Zhi felt a huge amount of luck entering his body, he could still feel that his life seemed to have begun counting down.

Even now I have a clear feeling.

Fifteen days, he only has fifteen days left to live.

But he was not sure whether these fifteen days were the fifteen days in that world.

In the end, he simply muttered to himself calmly: "Is this the ability of a writer? I only have fifteen days to change my fate."

But the next moment, he said with great enthusiasm: "Then I want to see whether you, the writer, are more powerful or I am more lucky."

At this moment, the scroll of ancient history seemed to have a ripple, as if responding to his heroic spirit.
