第1400章 还真显末兆

Li Fan opened the "True Reality" panel to check his progress after reaching the Daoist realm and becoming a half-sage.

Name: Li Fan Realm: Sage Physical Age: ... Psychological Age: ... Virtual Sublimation Progress: 50% Anchor Point Energy: 0% Current Anchor Points: 3 Available Anchors: 1 Bound Items: [...thighbone], [Falling Dust], [Divine Separation Disc, Sage Line], Metamorphic Stone, Essence of Heaven Mirror (残), Taiyuan Boat, Condensed Beast Crystal, Universal Blood.

When Li Fan saw the single character "Sage" on his panel, he raised an eyebrow.

"In True Reality's eyes, half-sages and sages don't seem to be fundamentally different."

Li Fan stared at the word "Sage" for a long time before continuing.

The physical age of a sage was no longer a constraint for Li Fan. The psychological age that had always worried him dissipated. His expression turned somewhat dazed.

"This is, in a temporary sense, achieving immortality."

Although he had achieved his short-term goals, the true and lasting immortality still seemed far away but not unattainable.

What was strange to Li Fan was that the physical and psychological ages displayed on the "True Reality" panel were not infinite or fixed numbers. They changed like the prefix of the nameless sage's thighbone or the celestial copper coins he had seen, presenting ever-changing scenes.

Li Fan narrowed his eyes, trying to understand what this meant.

After ascending to the Daoist realm and improving his status, things that once required almost all his effort and still faced backlash were now easily accomplished by Li Fan with minimal effort.

"7365864 years 13 days 7 hours..."

Li Fan's brows furrowed as he saw this age displayed on the "True Reality" panel.

The time was much shorter than he had imagined! How could it be fitting for a legendary sage?

Moreover, according to Li Fan's observation, this number did not change at a constant rate but dropped significantly most of the time.

Only rarely would it increase.

Li Fan stared intently at this extremely mysterious number when suddenly an inexplicable insight struck him.

"The lifespan of a sage cannot possibly be just a million years."

"But in True Reality's judgment, I can only live for so long..."

A golden light flashed in his eyes as Li Fan instantly realized: "It is the lifespan of the mortal world, not mine!"

As if he had discovered some earth-shattering secret, even as a half-sage, Li Fan's heart raced. He jotted down:

"When this number finally reaches zero, the end of the mortal world will also come."

"All living beings within it will be destroyed beyond salvation!"

"If I am in that world and do not activate True Reality, I would face the same fate!"

"Wait a minute?"

Li Fan pondered as his heart raced even faster.

"My psychological age did not change with the changes in True Reality before."

"It was only related to my personal experiences."

"So when this number has already fused with my psychological age and disappeared..."

Li Fan's expression turned grim.

"Even if I keep activating True Reality, the countdown of death for the mortal world will remain unchanged?"

"This impending doom cannot be reversed by me through True Reality?"

Just as Li Fan had barely begun to enjoy his new status as a sage, he was faced with the terrifying omen revealed by True Reality.

Despite his incredibly resilient spirit, this moment was too much for him.

The good news was that there was still enough time before the true end of the world arrived. And the number displayed on the "True Reality" panel could be changed.

Taking a deep breath, Li Fan gradually calmed down.

"Now it seems True Reality is actually predicting the lifespan of the mortal world."

"There must have been some major issue. Even the collapse of the Celestial Realm might be related!"

"Not that I can't live so long, but the world itself cannot exist for such a long time!"

A thick cloud seemed to settle on Li Fan's heart as his joy from ascending to the Daoist realm quickly vanished.

Without caring about the mortal world,

Li Fan was determined to try and resolve this impending crisis for his own sake of immortality.

"Perhaps, in True Reality's view, only sages can bring change to the end of the world."

"At the level below a sage, no matter how hard they struggle, their fate will not be altered at all."

"Even if it is shown, it would be useless and just add more烦恼 (troubles)."

Looking at the dark star sea before him,

Li Fan thought, "Perhaps to understand the truth of the end of the world, I need to start from the Dharma Obscuring Tribulation."

...

Li Fan continued looking at the remaining parts of the True Reality panel.

After becoming a sage, his virtual sublimation progress had changed qualitatively. It seemed that True Reality's own abilities had also improved; he no longer needed to accumulate energy after returning from True Reality but could directly complete 50% of the energy charge.
