The premature destruction of the world

When Li Fan made his appearance, that silver starlight, combined with the uncontrollable Dao rhythms emanating from his body that inspired enlightenment in others, was naturally the combined effect of Humanity Star Dust and the Enlightenment Pill.

To achieve this, Li Fan had swallowed in one gulp the Humanity Star Dust that had previously reversed the thoughts of the person he loved, along with over a hundred Enlightenment Pills.

He did not care about digesting them himself; as long as the overflowing fluctuations of these treasures were sufficient, that was enough.

Judging by the present, the bluffing effect was quite good.

As one sum of Contribution Points after another was pocketed, he believed that barring any accidents, this final fundraising plan should proceed relatively smoothly.

There was no longer any need to stay here, so Li Fan quietly departed.

Instead of returning to Congyun City, he returned to the secret room he had previously excavated deep within the trench and hid himself once again.

"heaven and earth qiankun dice…"

Li Fan's gaze flickered slightly as a crystal-clear die appeared in his hand.

He continuously played with it while thoughts surged in his mind.

What he had said earlier was not entirely fabricated either.

During his previous contact with this exotic treasure of the Ancient Tianji Sect, some vague images had indeed occasionally flashed through his mind.

Those were the apocalyptic scenes of a thousand miles of scorched earth and absolute stillness in the Congyun Sea.

If an ordinary Cultivator were to receive this inexplicable premonition, they would inevitably be filled with extreme panic and at a complete loss.

But Li Fan did not have any special emotional reaction; after all, let alone deduced scenarios, he had even witnessed firsthand the total extinction brought by Ink Death, which was several times more terrifying.

Crimson Flame Burning the Sea was truly a minor scene to Li Fan.

The only thing that interested him was that the time point of the future images sensed from the heaven and earth qiankun dice was not the anchor year 28 that he had experienced in his previous lives, but even earlier.

Moreover, this time point was continuously advancing as he kept making various moves in this lifetime.

For example, after he used a little scheme to successfully make Sikong Yi go and complete the mission of the Heavenly Doctor.

For another example, after the plan was born in his mind to have Han Yi instigate a great battle among the Fisherman, the Heavenly Doctor, and the Master.

The images of Crimson Flame Burning the Sea sensed from the heaven and earth qiankun dice had significantly advanced by a period of time.

Li Fan knew that the future has never had only one possibility.

Nor was there any such thing as a predetermined event.

It was just that Crimson Flame Burning the Sea, as a thorough major event, should not be easily changed by these actions of his.

But obviously, perhaps Li Fan had underestimated the impact of his actions on Crimson Flame Burning the Sea.

Why would the slaughter of living beings by the heaven and earth spirit happen in the Congyun Sea?

Why would the will of heaven and earth still not let up even after the Crimson Flame perished, sending the formidable Ink Death to completely turn the Congyun Sea into a dead zone?

When Ink Death strikes, only a void will remain in the Congyun Sea.

For heaven and earth, this was undoubtedly a lose-lose approach.

Even so, heaven and earth insisted on doing so.

The Congyun Sea must die.

This was something Li Fan had already understood in his very first few Reincarnations.

But as for why, he had never been able to find the slightest clue.

But in this lifetime, as he actively promoted the meeting of the Heavenly Doctor, the Master, and the Fisherman in the Congyun Sea, things began to change.

According to the future images fed back by the heaven and earth qiankun dice, if the battle among the three truly occurred,

the Crimson Flame Burning the Sea event, which was originally supposed to happen in anchor year 28, would appear by anchor year 20 at the latest.

A full eight years earlier!

The battle between the Heavenly Doctor and the Fisherman was something Li Fan had planned long ago.

It was impossible to change it just because the predetermined event occurred ahead of schedule.

Therefore, this was also why Li Fan had set his final fundraising plan to happen right now.

Of course, at present, all of this was still just fragments of images manifested in the heaven and earth qiankun dice.

I am afraid that only after waiting a few years for things to actually happen can there be a definitive conclusion.

"If Crimson Flame Burning the Sea truly arrives ahead of schedule due to the frequent activities of the Heavenly Doctor and the others,"

"then the matter becomes quite intriguing."

A faint gleam flashed through Li Fan's eyes.

He thought once again of the Heavenly Fiend Sword fragments suppressed in various places by the heaven and earth spirit.

Having stepped into the Xuanhuang World for several Reincarnations and perused countless ancient texts, although he could not claim to understand every single detail of the general cultivation situation in the Xuanhuang World, he could say he understood seventy or eighty percent of it.

To his knowledge, although the conflict between Cultivators and heaven and earth had become irreconcilable ever since the New Law was established,

heaven and earth's counteractions against Cultivators were often carried out indirectly by clearing up Cultivators using methods like incompatible cultivation methods, which altered the inherent rules of heaven and earth itself.

Like the catastrophe that occurred in the Congyun Sea, where heaven and earth actively manifested murderous intent…

Li Fan had truly seen very few similar cases.

Or perhaps it was because related information had been hidden; at least for now, the only place Li Fan knew of was the Congyun Sea.

"What on earth does this mean?"

A thoughtful expression appeared on Li Fan's face.

"I hope the Heavenly Doctor and the others can give me some enlightenment in this lifetime."

— —

Less than a day after the gathering of the Cultivators on Liuli Island, Cultivators across the entire Congyun Sea received definitive news.

The previous rumors were not empty words; Lord Secret Envoy, who had been in seclusion for a long time, had personally come forward to confirm them.

Thus, a grand carnival arrived.

That high-return fundraising plan, which previously only existed in legends and could only be participated in by Cultivators connected to Li Fan, was finally something they could join this time.

The goal of tripling in five years seemed incredible, but if it was spearheaded by that legendary Celestial Mystery Sect Cultivator…

then it was nothing much.

Cultivators ran around telling each other the news, discussing animatedly how many Contribution Points they should invest this time.

Even some very rational Cultivators couldn't help but waver in the face of the all-inclusive participation atmosphere at this moment.

"I currently have a total of 450,000 Contribution Points in my hands. If they triple…"

"That would exceed one million!"

Sikong Yi's heart surged with emotions.

"Fellow Daoist Han was indeed right; the Dao of cultivation depends on connections! Without the opportunity he left behind to contact He Zhenghao, when would I ever earn one million!"

"Fellow Daoist Han, you died a good death!"

Thinking of this, Sikong Yi did not hesitate in the least and decided to make another desperate gamble, pouring all of his accumulated wealth into this fundraising plan.

"Opportunities are rare and once missed, they will not return. A complete turnaround depends entirely on this time!"

A trace of resoluteness flashed in his eyes.

Having won the top prize of Fish Gambling and carrying one million Contribution Points, Han Yi was currently in Yuandao Province.

"Li Fan of the Congyun Sea, tripling in five years?"

His heart stirred.

Perhaps due to the backlash of forcibly reversing Luck.

Ever since he stepped into Yuandao Province, everything had been going against him.

His cultivation hadn't increased much, but he had already spent some of his million Contribution Points.

"Why not…"

A trace of hesitation flashed in Han Yi's eyes.
