My Simulated Road to Immortality

The disciple of the Medicine King Sect, Gu Xinghan, who carried the Dissociation Disc inherited from Li Fan, happened to acquire the Final Disc by chance.

The two artifacts drew closer and gradually merged into one.

After Gu Xinghan's death, the artifact followed him into the earth, buried deeply for thousands of years.

It could be said that the birth of the Final Dissociation Disc itself was an event that had an exceedingly low probability, difficult to achieve.

"Perhaps, simply merging two secondary bodies is not enough. Time must temper them, perhaps even the destruction of one realm and its rebirth might be required to qualify for ascension into the rank of immortal artifacts..." At this moment, Li Fan finally understood how fortunate he was to have obtained the Final Dissociation Disc back then.

Although he couldn't understand its underlying principles, no matter the case, Li Fan now grasped this immortal artifact.

Regarding the power of the Dissociation Disc, Li Fan was greatly satisfied. The only troubling aspect was that the inherent, self-generated Immortal Spirit Energy within the artifact seemed utterly beyond his ability to absorb and utilize.

Li Fan once again tried to channel the Immortal Spirit Energy within the Dissociation Disc into other items.

For example, the Ten Thousand Beasts Crystallize and the Stone of Transformation, among others.

But without exception, the silver starlight penetrated straight through the objects without pausing even for an instant.

Moreover, the items being infused seemed altogether unaware of the existence of Immortal Spirit Energy.

"It feels as if this boundless Immortal Spirit Energy belongs solely to the Dissociation Disc itself."

"It's not that I can't do it. It's that nobody can do it."

Li Fan shook his head slightly, musing inwardly, "No wonder back then, the King of Mystic Sky scraped up so many treasures from the Immortal World in his quest to ascend from the Semi-Immortal Stage, yet still found it so difficult."

"Artifacts and artifacts, artifacts and immortals—their realms simply do not align."

"I reckon, even the Immortal Spirit Energy within the Faceless Immortal, that True Immortal's body, could not be transferred to aid the King of Mystic Sky. Otherwise, given their friendship and the endless nature of Immortal Spirit Energy, the Faceless Immortal likely wouldn't hesitate to lend a hand."

Suddenly, Li Fan recalled something Bai Hua had previously mentioned about the King of Mystic Sky: "But reportedly, the King of Mystic Sky managed to extract and refine Immortal Spirit Energy from the Tiandu Grandmaster? What does that signify?"

"Although Bai Hua's words cannot be wholly trusted."

"They do serve as a reminder to be cautious of that enigmatic Grandmaster upon returning to Xuan Huang."

Li Fan stood amidst the vast Star Sea, his thoughts gradually settling.

Only then did he open the [Huan Zhen] interface to examine the specific changes in his strength following his advancement to Unity-Path and Semi-Immortal Stage.

Name: Li Fan

Realm: Immortal

Biological Age:...

Psychological Age:...

Void Energy Infusion Progress: 50%

Anchor Energy Infusion Progress: 0%

Current Anchor Point Count: 3

Available Anchor Count: 1

Bound Items: [...leg bone], [Dissociation Disc, Immortal Ranking], Stone of Transformation, Mystic Sky Mirror Essence (fragments), Tai Yan Boat, Ten Thousand Beasts Crystallize, Ten Thousand Souls Blood Essence.

...

Seeing the [Huan Zhen] interface display only one single character under his realm—[Immortal]—Li Fan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"It seems that in [Huan Zhen]'s eyes, the so-called Semi-Immortal is no different from a full-fledged Immortal."

Li Fan stared at the character "Immortal," gazing at it with delightful satisfaction for a long time before moving on.

Once stepping from mortal to immortal, biological age was no longer a shackle for Li Fan.

And long-standing psychological age limitations that had once caused him some concern also dissipated into nothingness. Li Fan's expression briefly turned a touch dazed.

"So, for now, I've attained a general sense of longevity."

Phase goals had been achieved, but the true longevity he desired still seemed distant.

However, it certainly wasn't ephemeral and unreachable.

What puzzled Li Fan was that the biological and psychological age displayed on the [Huan Zhen] panel seemed neither infinite nor fixed.

Instead, like the prefix of the Nameless True Immortal's leg bone or the immortal coins from the Immortal World he had encountered, they appeared as ever-changing scenes.

Li Fan narrowed his eyes, trying to discern the specific meaning they sought to express.

It had to be said, now that he had ascended to immortality and elevated his rank, tasks that had once taken nearly all his effort to accomplish, followed by counter-repercussions, were now achieved with ease and without exertion.

"Seven million three hundred sixty-five thousand eight hundred sixty-four years, thirteen days, and seven hours..."

Upon seeing the age—or rather, the age limit—displayed on [Huan Zhen], Li Fan's brows furrowed deeply.

Only seven million years? That was far too short compared to what he imagined!

How could this align with the legends of immortality?

Moreover, based on his observations, this constantly shifting number wasn't changing at a uniform rate.

Most of the time, the number would suddenly plunge after a short while.

Only occasionally would it increase.

Li Fan fixed his gaze firmly on these extraordinarily enigmatic digits.

Suddenly, an unnamed realization surged within his heart.

"The lifespan of an Immortal surely cannot be constrained to a mere million years."

"Yet according to [Huan Zhen]'s judgment, I can only live this long..."

A streak of golden light flashed across his eyes as Li Fan was struck with sudden enlightenment: "It's because this represents the lifespan of [The Mortal World], not mine!"

As though unearthing an earth-shattering secret, even Li Fan, now a Semi-Immortal, felt his heart pound violently as he muttered to himself: "When these ever-changing digits reach zero, the entire Mortal World will simultaneously meet its end."

"Every living being within will follow suit, falling into eternal calamity!"

"If I remain within and do not activate [Huan Zhen], I will be no exception!"

"Wait—no?!"

As these thoughts raced, Li Fan's heartbeat surged even faster.

"Previously, my psychological age wouldn't change with the shifts of Huan Zhen."

"It was merely tied to what I had personally experienced."

"Now that my psychological age has fused with these shifting numbers and faded away..."

Li Fan's expression grew darker.

"Even if I continuously activate [Huan Zhen], the Mortal World's death countdown will remain unaffected?"

"This impending world-ending calamity cannot be prevented through [Huan Zhen] alone?"
