“ zhè shì shén me yì si ？”
“这是什么意思？”
"What does this mean?"
“ zài 【 hái zhēn 】 tuī yǎn zhōng ， bō jí wú shù kě néng xìng de miè shì dà jié ， yǒu bèi niǔ zhuǎn de qū shì ？”
“在【还真】推衍中，波及无数可能性的灭世大劫，有被扭转的趋势？”
In the [Truly Real] derivation, a great calamity that could wipe out countless possibilities was showing signs of being reversed?
wú bǐ xùn sù de mò niàn hái zhēn ，【 zhēn zuò jiǎ shí jiǎ yì zhēn 】 qī gè dà zì hōng rán zhà kāi de tóng shí 。 lǐ fán xīn zhōng mǎn shì jīng yí 。
无比迅速的默念还真，【真作假时假亦真】七个大字轰然炸开的同时。李凡心中满是惊疑。
The words "True becomes false when false is true" thundered through Li Fan's mind as he silently recited Truly Real. He was filled with shock and doubt.
“ wǒ zhèng dé zhēn xiān zhī jìng hòu ， hái zhēn miàn bǎn shàng suǒ xiǎn shì de nián líng shàng xiàn 、 jiù shì zhè piàn chén shì jiān de yù gū shòu mìng 。 yǎn kàn wǒ dà nàn lín tóu ， chén shì jiān de yù gū shòu mìng què bù jiǎn fǎn zēng ？”
“我证得真仙之境后，还真面板上所显示的年龄上限、就是这片尘世间的预估寿命。眼看我大难临头，尘世间的预估寿命却不减反增？”
"After I reached the True Immortal realm, the age limit shown on the Truly Real panel represents my estimated lifespan in this world. But now that I'm about to face a great calamity, why is the estimated lifespan increasing instead of decreasing?"
yī shùn qiān niàn 。
一瞬千念。
A thousand thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant as the Realm of Concealed Dao descended upon the world.
【 dào yǐn 】 jiè yù ， jiàng lín shì jiān 。
【道隐】界域，降临世间。
Around Li Fan, everything within the darkest star sea was frozen in a black and white hue.
yǐ lǐ fán wèi zhōng xīn ， rù mù suǒ jí 、 zhì àn xīng hǎi zhī nèi ， quán dōu xiàn rù le jìng zhǐ de hēi sè èr sè zhōng 。
以李凡为中心，入目所及、至暗星海之内，全都陷入了静止的黑色二色中。
But unlike before, there was another person who could still move within this static realm—besides Li Fan himself.
dàn gēn shàng yī cì bù tóng de shì 。
但跟上一次不同的是。
In this completely stagnant world, he immediately noticed and locked onto the other person. That individual seemed to be looking right at him as well.
cǐ fān ， zài dào yǐn fàn wéi nèi néng gòu wéi chí huó dòng de 、 chú le lǐ fán zhī wài ， hái yǒu yī rén ！
此番，在道隐范围内能够维持活动的、除了李凡之外，还有一人！
Their eyes met!
zài wán quán jìng zhǐ de shì jiè zhōng ， shì rú cǐ de xǐng mù 。 yǐ zhì yú lǐ fán jī hū shì chà nà jiān ， jiù chá jué bìng 、 suǒ dìng le duì fāng 。
在完全静止的世界中，是如此的醒目。以至于李凡几乎是刹那间，就察觉并、锁定了对方。
"Is it... the Healer of Heaven?"
ér nà rén ， sì hū yě zhèng cháo lǐ fán suǒ zài de wèi zhì kàn lái 。
而那人，似乎也正朝李凡所在的位置看来。
Even though his appearance, attire, and demeanor were vastly different from what he was familiar with, Li Fan still recognized him instantly.
sì mù xiāng duì ！
四目相对！
Recalling the malevolent Su Bai outside the wall in Mr. Bai's eternal memory, Li Fan realized that this sudden sense of impending danger stemmed from the blackened Healer of Heaven.
“ tiān …… yī ？”
“天……医？”
"Outside the wall, there is not only the malevolent Su Bai, but also a blackened Healer of Heaven?"
jǐn guǎn gēn zì jǐ suǒ shú zhī de tiān yī xiāng bǐ ， wài mào 、 yī zhuó 、 qì zhì ， jiē yǒu zhe jí dà de chā bié 。
尽管跟自己所熟知的天医相比，外貌、衣着、气质，皆有着极大的差别。
"How did he...?"
dàn lǐ fán hái shì dì yī yǎn jiù rèn chū tā 。
但李凡还是第一眼就认出他。
Suddenly, Li Fan recalled his agreement with the Healer of Heaven inside the wall to break through in 1000 days. The healer had been forced by Li Fan's life to fully dedicate himself and understand the principles behind the wall.
lián xiǎng dào zài bái xiān shēng yǒng héng yí niàn zhōng kuī jiàn de 、 gāo qiáng wài xié xìng sū bái de cún zài 。 lǐ fán yě shì qǐng kè jiān jiù fǎn yìng guò lái ， zì jǐ xīn zhōng nà mò míng wēi jī gǎn de lái yuán 。
联想到在白先生永恒遗念中窥见的、高墙外邪性苏白的存在。李凡也是顷刻间就反应过来，自己心中那莫名危机感的来源。
"Even though Su Bai is malevolent, it was only sensed after half a footstep outside the wall. But before that, I didn't feel any Immortal fluctuations. Was he detected before even crossing the wall?"
“ gāo qiáng wài ， bù jǐn yǒu xié xìng sū bái ， hái yǒu hēi huà tiān yī ？”
“高墙外，不仅有邪性苏白，还有黑化天医？”
"This person must be more powerful than Su Bai."
“ tā yòu shì zěn me ……”
“他又是怎么……”
A myriad of thoughts raced through Li Fan's mind as the blackened Healer of Heaven continued to fly towards his location.
mò dì ， lǐ fán xiǎng dào le zhī qián ， gēn gāo qiáng nèi tiān yī de “ qiān rì wéi qī ” de yuē dìng 。 bèi lǐ fán yǐ xìng mìng yāo xié de tiān yī ， wèi le jǐn kuài tū pò ， cái kāi shǐ quán shēn xīn tóu rù 、 cān wù gāo qiáng zhī lǐ 。
蓦地，李凡想到了之前，跟高墙内天医的“千日为期”的约定。被李凡以性命要挟的天医，为了尽快突破，才开始全身心投入、参悟高墙之理。
It seemed like everything was in slow motion. Li Fan noticed that the ruins of the boundary walls at the edge of the star sea, stretching endlessly under the wall, looked like they had been washed away by a flood, leaving them in disarray.
“ xié xìng sū bái ， shàng qiě shì bái xiān shēng bàn zhǐ jiǎo tà chū gāo qiáng cái bèi gǎn zhī dào de 。 ér zài cǐ zhī qián ， wǒ bìng méi yǒu gǎn shòu dào ， yǒu xiān jí bō dòng 。 hái méi yǒu kuà yuè gāo qiáng ， jiù bèi hēi huà tiān yī chá jué dào le ？”
“邪性苏白，尚且是白先生半只脚踏出高墙才被感知到的。而在此之前，我并没有感受到，有仙级波动。还没有跨越高墙，就被黑化天医察觉到了？”
The invisible high walls surrounding the star sea also appeared to have a gap opened up.
“ zhè wèi de shí lì ， hái yào zài xié xìng sū bái zhī shàng ？”
“这位的实力，还要在邪性苏白之上？”
Through this gap, he could glimpse the outside world.
lǐ fán de nǎo hǎi zhōng ， shà shí fú xiàn chū liǎo wú shù niàn tou 。
李凡的脑海中，霎时浮现出了无数念头。
Unlike the lifeless star sea, beyond the wall was clearly teeming with life. But within this lush realm of vitality, there was an extremely incongruous blank line—a path leading into the unknown.
hēi bái jìng zhǐ de dào yǐn qū yù zhōng ， hēi huà tiān yī réng zài cháo zhe zì jǐ suǒ zài de fāng wèi 、 fēi dùn ér lái 。
黑白静止的道隐区域中，黑化天医仍在朝着自己所在的方位、飞遁而来。
At the end of this path, created by ancient primordial beasts, Li Fan's gaze was abruptly cut off.
zhǐ bù guò hǎo sì xiàn rù le màn dòng zuò dāng zhōng 。
只不过好似陷入了慢动作当中。
It felt like he was being blocked by a towering shadow or separated by a tall wall!
lǐ fán hái kàn dào ， zhì àn xīng hǎi biān chuí 、 gāo qiáng jiǎo xià lián mián wú jìn de cán jiè cháng chéng ， jiù xiàng shì bèi tāo tiān de hóng shuǐ chōng shuā guò yì bān ， biàn dé láng jí yī piàn 、 líng luàn 。
李凡还看到，至暗星海边陲、高墙脚下连绵无尽的残界长城，就像是被滔天的洪水冲刷过一般，变得狼藉一片、凌乱。
Without time to think, Li Fan urgently activated Truly Real.
ér nà wéi kùn zhì àn xīng hǎi de wú xíng gāo qiáng ， yě fǎng fú bèi chōng chū le yí gè quē kǒu 。
而那围困至暗星海的无形高墙，也仿佛被冲出了一个缺口。
He now understood why the estimated lifespan in the world had suddenly increased during his derivation of Truly Real. It was because Truly Real had fallen into the hands of the blackened Healer of Heaven.
tòu guò nà ge quē kǒu ， gāo qiáng wài de jǐng xiàng ， ruò yǐn ruò xiàn 。
透过那个缺口，高墙外的景象，若隐若现。
"Wouldn't holding Truly Real allow this healer to save the world from its calamity?"
bù tóng yú shēng jī diāo bì de zhì àn xīng hǎi ， gāo qiáng zhī wài ， míng xiǎn yǒu zhū duō shēng jī huì jù gè chù 。 dàn zhè pǒ wèi fán shèng de shēng jī lǐng yù zhōng ， què yǒu yī dào jí bù xié tiáo 、 jí wéi tū wù de kòng bái zhí xiàn 。
不同于生机凋敝的至暗星海，高墙之外，明显有诸多生机汇聚各处。但这颇为繁盛的生机领域中，却有一道极不协调、极为突兀的空白直线。
Li Fan gritted his teeth. He didn't believe that the blackened Healer would spare him a single life after seizing Truly Real.
rú yī tiáo tōng tiān dà dào ， tōng wǎng gèng yuǎn chù de bù kě zhī zhī jìng 。
如一条通天大道，通往更远处的不可知之境。
"The age limit on the Truly Real panel is both for the world and me."
ér zài zhè ， wǎn ruò bèi tài gǔ hóng huāng xiōng shòu héng chōng zhí zhuàng suǒ chuàng zào chū lái de dào lù jìn tóu 。
而在这，宛若被太古洪荒凶兽横冲直撞所创造出来的道路尽头。
"If it wasn't separated during the derivation, it means..."
lǐ fán de mù guāng ， bèi mò míng zhǎn duàn 。
李凡的目光，被莫名斩断。
"I might not be separated but instead transformed into a state similar to the Derivation Jewel—a powerful artifact."
rú bèi gāo dà de yīn yǐng zhē bì ， rú bèi yī dǔ gāo sǒng de qiáng bì gé jué ！
如被高大的阴影遮蔽，如被一堵高耸的墙壁隔绝！
Li Fan's heart turned cold as he intensified his activation of Truly Real. He tightened the boundary of the Realm of Concealed Dao.
lái bù jí sī kǎo ， yě gù bù dé lǐng wù dào yǐn qū nèi de shì wù 。
来不及思考，也顾不得领悟道隐区内的事物。
The speed at which the black and white hues enveloped the world surpassed the healer's movement in this static realm.
lǐ fán xīn niàn jí zhuǎn ， cuī dòng 【 hái zhēn 】。
李凡心念急转，催动【还真】。
But Li Fan was uneasy about the thick fog outside the Realm of Concealed Dao, which continued to churn and vibrate, as if something terrifying might emerge at any moment.
tā xiàn zài yǐ rán míng bái guò lái ， wèi shén me hái zhēn tuī yǎn de chén shì jiān shòu mìng shàng xiàn huì tū rán bào zhǎng le 。
他现在已然明白过来，为什么还真推衍的尘世间寿命上限会突然暴涨了。
"Truly Real!"
zhè shì zài tuī yǎn ，【 hái zhēn 】 luò rù nà hēi huà tiān yī shǒu zhōng de qíng jǐng ！
这是在推衍，【还真】落入那黑化天医手中的情景！
Li Fan roared inwardly. Even if the blackened Healer could save the world with Truly Real, he would never willingly hand it over.
“ dá dào hēi huà tiān yī xiàn rú jīn de shí lì ， biàn néng shǒu chí hái zhēn ， zhěng jiù chén shì jiān dà jié ？”
“达到黑化天医现如今的实力，便能手持还真，拯救尘世间大劫？”
Either this world would be completely destroyed or Li Fan himself would become its sole savior.
lǐ fán àn zì yǎo yá qiè chǐ 。
李凡暗自咬牙切齿。
There was no way he would sacrifice himself!
tā bìng bù rèn wéi ， hēi huà tiān yī jiāng 【 hái zhēn 】 qiǎng duó hòu ， huì liú zì jǐ yī tiáo xiǎo mìng 。
他并不认为，黑化天医将【还真】抢夺后，会留自己一条小命。
The thick white fog eventually engulfed everything.
“ hái zhēn miàn bǎn de shòu mìng shàng xiàn ， jì shì chén shì jiān de ， yě shì wǒ de 。”
“还真面板的寿命上限，既是尘世间的，也是我的。”
The familiar darkness began to envelop Li Fan. His tightly strung nerves finally relaxed as his consciousness fell into a brief sleep.
“ zài tuī yǎn zhōng méi yǒu bèi fēn lí ， jiù shuō míng ……”
“在推衍中没有被分离，就说明……”
...
“ wǒ zuò wéi 【 hái zhēn 】 zài tǐ ， hěn yǒu kě néng bìng bù néng bèi fēn lí 。 ér shì bèi liàn huà chéng lèi sì yú yǎn fǎ jué yì bān de fǎ bǎo zhuàng tài 。”
“我作为【还真】载体，很有可能并不能被分离。而是被炼化成类似于衍法珏一般的法宝状态。”
After an indeterminate amount of time, it seemed like just one moment later, the black-robed Healer looked at his empty hands and felt a hint of confusion.
lǐ fán xīn zhōng bīng liáng yī piàn 。
李凡心中冰凉一片。
He turned back to see the long trail of destruction he had caused. His brows furrowed deeply.
yù fā jiā jǐn le cuī dòng hái zhēn ， shōu shù 【 dào yǐn 】 jiè yù 。
愈发加紧了催动还真，收束【道隐】界域。
In a flash, his divine sense swept across the star sea.
hēi bái èr sè lǒng zhào shì jiè huí guī de sù dù ， chāo guò le hēi huà tiān yī zài jìng zhǐ zhōng yóu dòng de sù dù 。
黑白二色笼罩世界回归的速度，超过了黑化天医在静止中游动的速度。
When it passed by the True Immortal who had attained enlightenment in the Immortal Ruins, there was a slight hesitation.
dàn ràng lǐ fán xīn zhōng bù ān de shì ， dào yǐn wài de wù qì ， bù duàn fān téng 、 zhèn dàng 。
但让李凡心中不安的是，道隐外的雾气，不断翻腾、震荡。
Then he reached out and picked up the skull-shaped Starving Immortal.
sì hū yǒu shén me kě bù de cún zài ， suí shí dōu yǒu kě néng cóng zhōng zuān chū yì bān 。
似乎有什么可怖的存在，随时都有可能从中钻出一般。
He flew outside the wall, passing through an endless void corridor.
“ hái zhēn ！！”
“还真！！”
At the end of this path, his body stiffened as he released his grip on the Starving Immortal. He stood there in shock.
lǐ fán xīn zhōng zuì hòu nù hǒu 。
李凡心中最后怒吼。
...
jí biàn hēi huà tiān yī dé dào 【 hái zhēn 】 hòu ， zhēn de néng zhěng jiù chén shì jiān dà jié 。 lǐ fán yě jué bú huì ， xīn gān qíng yuàn de jiāng 【 hái zhēn 】 gǒng shǒu xiàng ràng 。
即便黑化天医得到【还真】后，真的能拯救尘世间大劫。李凡也绝不会，心甘情愿的将【还真】拱手相让。
Inbound darkness surrounded him.
yào me ， jiù ràng zhè chén shì jiān chè dǐ yān miè 。
要么，就让这尘世间彻底湮灭。
Li Fan's consciousness drifted like a boat in water.
yào me ， jiù ràng tā lǐ fán ， lái dāng zhè wéi yī de jiù shì zhǔ 。
要么，就让他李凡，来当这唯一的救世主。
He was in a state between waking and sleeping, observing everything with instinct alone.
xiǎng yào ràng tā xī shēng zì jǐ ……
想要让他牺牲自己……
Not far away, a star seemed to ignite.
mén dōu méi yǒu ！
门都没有！
Then countless stars shone together, forming a line that pierced the darkness.
gǔn gǔn bái wù ， zuì zhōng yān mò yī qiè 。
滚滚白雾，最终淹没一切。
Li Fan's consciousness plummeted towards this light.
shú xī wú bǐ de hēi àn jí jiāng yān mò lǐ fán ， yì zhí jǐn bēng zhe de xīn xián ， cái zhōng yú sōng kāi 。
熟悉无比的黑暗即将淹没李凡，一直紧绷着的心弦，才终于松开。
The brighter it got, the more it exploded into countless images.
lǐ fán de yì shí ， xiàn rù le duǎn zàn de hūn shuì zhī zhōng 。
李凡的意识，陷入了短暂的昏睡之中。
Anchored 1 year in the center of the star sea!
bù zhī guò le duō jiǔ ， yòu hǎo sì yī shùn zhī hòu 。
不知过了多久，又好似一瞬之后。
Like someone struggling to breathe after being underwater, Li Fan instinctively took deep breaths.
yī xí hēi sè cháng páo de tiān yī ， kàn zhe zì jǐ zhuā kōng de shuāng shǒu ， yǎn zhōng shǎn guò yī sī máng rán 。
一袭黑色长袍的天医，看着自己抓空的双手，眼中闪过一丝茫然。
He was still reeling from the immense pressure brought by the blackened Healer's presence in his previous life.
huí shǒu kàn zhe zì jǐ zào chéng de cháng cháng huǐ huài xìng hén jì ， gèng shì méi tóu jǐn suǒ 。
回首看着自己造成的长长毁坏性痕迹，更是眉头紧锁。
"Eh?"
yí niàn zhī jiān ， sǎo guò zhì àn xīng hǎi 。
一念之间，扫过至暗星海。
As this sense of fear gradually subsided, a strange scene flashed through Li Fan's mind—the white line that had appeared just now.
shén niàn zài lüè guò xiān xū zhōng wù dào de zhēn xiān shí hòu ， wēi wēi yī dùn 。
神念在掠过仙墟中悟道的真仙时候，微微一顿。
"..."
jìng chéng xiàn chū shǎo xǔ de yóu yù ， ér hòu shēn shǒu ， jiāng kū lóu zhuàng de jī xiān tí qǐ 。
竟呈现出少许的犹豫，而后伸手，将骷髅状的饥仙提起。
Every time Truly Real returned to its initial point, it was the best moment to understand [True and False Transformation].
fēi chū gāo qiáng zhī wài ， chuān guò màn cháng de kòng bái tōng dào 。
飞出高墙之外，穿过漫长的空白通道。
Li Fan forcefully pushed away all distractions and immersed himself in the supreme power of Truly Real.
zài jìn tóu tái tóu tiào wàng zhī jì 。
在尽头抬头眺望之际。
But for some reason, the image of the white line lingered in his mind, refusing to leave. As he watched countless points of light connect in the darkness, Li Fan's understanding of True and False Transformation skyrocketed at an alarming rate.
tiān yī de shēn qū jìng měng dì jiāng zhí ， zhuā zhù jī xiān de shǒu bù zì jǐn de sōng kāi 。
天医的身躯竟猛地僵直，抓住饥仙的手不自紧的松开。
Li Fan didn't question the origin; he simply immersed himself in it.
dāi lì dāng chǎng 。
呆立当场。
After a long time, when that scene faded away, he suddenly opened his eyes wide.
……
……
"False... is also true."
wú biān wú jì de hēi àn huán rào 。
无边无际的黑暗环绕。
Li Fan slowly said these three words.
lǐ fán de yì niàn ， rú zài shuǐ zhōng piāo liú bù dìng 。
李凡的意念，如在水中漂流不定。
After numerous simulations with Truly Real and experiencing True and False Transformation firsthand, Li Fan finally understood the meaning behind those seven words that always accompanied Truly Real.
chǔ yú shì xǐng fēi xǐng zhī jiān de xuán qí zhuàng tài 。
处于似醒非醒之间的玄奇状态。
"When true becomes false..."
lǐ fán cǐ kè wú zhī wú shí ， quán kào běn néng guān chá zuǒ yòu 。
李凡此刻无知无识，全靠本能观察左右。
"It might refer to the Great Calamity of Dao Annihilation, where countless world lines are instantly transformed from true to false, vanishing. It's not nothingness but a conceptually non-existent [false]."
bù yuǎn chù ， shì yǒu yī dào xīng diǎn liàng qǐ 。
不远处，似有一道星点亮起。
"And 'false is also true' means..."
ér hòu ， yǒu wàn qiān xīng guāng ， cì dì gòng tóng shǎn yào 。
而后，有万千星光，次第共同闪耀。
Li Fan's expression was momentarily dazed.
lián jiē chéng xiàn ， cì pò hēi àn 。
连接成线，刺破黑暗。
"The power of Truly Real can create new possibilities in the false temporal space swallowed by Dao Annihilation!"
lǐ fán de yì shí ， měng dì cháo zhe zhè tiáo guāng xiàn zhuì luò 。
李凡的意识，猛地朝着这条光线坠落。
"This..."
yuè lái yuè kuài 。
越来越快。
Even though he had already pondered the upper limit of True and False Transformation many times, Li Fan was still stunned by his own realization.
guāng máng jiāng lǐ fán chōng sè zhī jì ， huà zuò wú shù de guāng yǐng ， hōng rán zhà kāi 。
光芒将李凡充塞之际，化作无数的光影，轰然炸开。
"Wait, maybe it's not just that."
máo dìng 1 nián ， zhì àn xīng hǎi zhōng yāng ！
锚定1年，至暗星海中央！
Suddenly, a thought struck him as he urgently opened Truly Real again.
“ hū ！”
“呼！”
Ignoring the four inheritance choices popping up, Li Fan stared at the age limit on the panel.
jiù xiàng shì nì shuǐ zhī rén ， jiān nán wú bǐ de cóng shuǐ xià tàn chū tóu ， běn néng de dà kǒu dà kǒu de hū xī 。
就像是溺水之人，艰难无比的从水下探出头，本能的大口大口的呼吸。
7365864 years and 13 days, 7 hours!
lǐ fán hái chén jìn zài shàng yī shì ， hēi huà tiān yī dài lái de wú qióng yā pò zhī zhōng 。
李凡还沉浸在上一世，黑化天医带来的无穷压迫之中。
(End of chapter)
"What does this mean?"
In the [Truly Real] derivation, a great calamity that could wipe out countless possibilities was showing signs of being reversed?
The words "True becomes false when false is true" thundered through Li Fan's mind as he silently recited Truly Real. He was filled with shock and doubt.
"After I reached the True Immortal realm, the age limit shown on the Truly Real panel represents my estimated lifespan in this world. But now that I'm about to face a great calamity, why is the estimated lifespan increasing instead of decreasing?"
A thousand thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant as the Realm of Concealed Dao descended upon the world.
Around Li Fan, everything within the darkest star sea was frozen in a black and white hue.
But unlike before, there was another person who could still move within this static realm—besides Li Fan himself.
In this completely stagnant world, he immediately noticed and locked onto the other person. That individual seemed to be looking right at him as well.
Their eyes met!
"Is it... the Healer of Heaven?"

Li Fan's heart turned cold as he intensified his activation of Truly Real. He tightened the boundary of the Realm of Concealed Dao.
The speed at which the black and white hues enveloped the world surpassed the healer's movement in this static realm.
But Li Fan was uneasy about the thick fog outside the Realm of Concealed Dao, which continued to churn and vibrate, as if something terrifying might emerge at any moment.
"Truly Real!"
Li Fan roared inwardly. Even if the blackened Healer could save the world with Truly Real, he would never willingly hand it over.
Either this world would be completely destroyed or Li Fan himself would become its sole savior.

Anchored 1 year in the center of the star sea!
"Phew!"
Like someone struggling to breathe after being underwater, Li Fan instinctively took deep breaths.
He was still reeling from the immense pressure brought by the blackened Healer's presence in his previous life.
"Eh?"
As this sense of fear gradually subsided, a strange scene flashed through Li Fan's mind—the white line that had appeared just now.
"..."
Every time Truly Real returned to its initial point, it was the best moment to understand [True and False Transformation].
Li Fan forcefully pushed away all distractions and immersed himself in the supreme power of Truly Real.
But for some reason, the image of the white line lingered in his mind, refusing to leave. As he watched countless points of light connect in the darkness, Li Fan's understanding of True and False Transformation skyrocketed at an alarming rate.
Li Fan didn't question the origin; he simply immersed himself in it.
After a long time, when that scene faded away, he suddenly opened his eyes wide.
"False... is also true."
Li Fan slowly said these three words.
After numerous simulations with Truly Real and experiencing True and False Transformation firsthand, Li Fan finally understood the meaning behind those seven words that always accompanied Truly Real.
"When true becomes false..."
"It might refer to the Great Calamity of Dao Annihilation, where countless world lines are instantly transformed from true to false, vanishing. It's not nothingness but a conceptually non-existent [false]."
"And 'false is also true' means..."
Li Fan's expression was momentarily dazed.
"The power of Truly Real can create new possibilities in the false temporal space swallowed by Dao Annihilation!"
"This..."
Even though he had already pondered the upper limit of True and False Transformation many times, Li Fan was still stunned by his own realization.
"Wait, maybe it's not just that."
Suddenly, a thought struck him as he urgently opened Truly Real again.
Ignoring the four inheritance choices popping up, Li Fan stared at the age limit on the panel.
7365864 years and 13 days, 7 hours!
