“ yuán lái rú cǐ 。```23x”
“原来如此。```23x”
"Thus, it all makes sense." ```23x```
lín xuān zǒng suàn míng bái liǎo shì qíng de shǐ mò ， jiē xià lái de jù qíng yě jiù hěn hǎo cāi cè 。
林轩总算明白了事情的始末，接下来的剧情也就很好猜测。
Lin Xuan finally understood the entire sequence of events. The subsequent plot was easy to predict.
huà yǔ zhēn rén yǔn luò ， ā xiū luó wáng zì rán bú huì shàn bà gān xiū ， tā kě shì yīn sī zhī zhǔ ， shí lì gèng shèng xún cháng zhēn xiān xǔ duō 。
化羽真人陨落，阿修罗王自然不会善罢甘休，她可是阴司之主，实力更胜寻常真仙许多。
The True Immortal Feathers had fallen, and naturally, the Asura King would not rest until she exacted her revenge. She was the Lord of the Netherworld Realm, with a strength far surpassing that of ordinary True Immortals.
dāng tā bì guān jié shù ， dé zhī zì jǐ de ài lǚ luò de zhè yàng de jié guǒ ， zěn me kě néng yǒu shàn bà gān xiū yī shuō ， xiǎng bì zhè jiù shì wèi hé tā dài lǐng yīn sī guǐ wù ， jiāng líng jiè shā le yí gè xuè liú chéng hé 。
当她闭关结束，得知自己的爱侣落得这样的结果，怎么可能有善罢甘休一说，想必这就是为何她带领阴司鬼物，将灵界杀了一个血流成河。
When she emerged from seclusion and learned about her beloved's fate, how could there be any chance for reconciliation? This must be why she led the Netherworld Ghosts to massacre the Spirit Realm, turning its rivers red with blood.
“ dà tǐ shì zhè yàng méi cuò ， dàn zhēn shí de shì qíng bìng méi yǒu zhè me jiǎn dān de 。” yǔ tóng xiān zi tàn xī de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ 。
“大体是这样没错，但真实的事情并没有这么简单的。”雨桐仙子叹息的声音传入耳朵。
"Essentially, it is as you say. But the truth is not so simple," Rain桐仙子 sighed into his ears.
“ ó ， nán dào hái yǒu shén me bō zhé ？”
“哦，难道还有什么波折？”
"Oh, does that mean there are more twists and turns?"
lín xuān shì zhēn de yǒu xiē qí guài le 。
林轩是真的有些奇怪了。
Lin Xuan was genuinely curious.
“ bù cuò ， huà yǔ zhēn rén yǔn luò ， wǒ men líng jiè suī rán shì bèi lì yòng le ， dàn bù guǎn rú hé ， yě shì bàn yǎn le bāng xiōng de jué sè ， yǐ ā xiū luó wáng de xìng gé ， zì rán bú huì yǒu shàn bà gān xiū yī shuō ， cǐ nǎi shùn lǐ chéng zhāng de ， dàn tā zhī suǒ yǐ shā shàng líng jiè ， qí shí hái yǒu gèng zhòng yào de yuán yóu 。”
“不错，化羽真人陨落，我们灵界虽然是被利用了，但不管如何，也是扮演了帮凶的角色，以阿修罗王的性格，自然不会有善罢甘休一说，此乃顺理成章的，但她之所以杀上灵界，其实还有更重要的缘由。”
"Yes, Feathers True Immortal's fall was indeed due to this treasure. Although our Spirit Realm was manipulated, we still played a supporting role. Given the Asura King's character, she would not rest until her revenge was exacted—this is logical. But there are deeper reasons for why she attacked us."
“ nǐ shì shuō …… nà shén mì de xīng hǎi ？”
“你是说……那神秘的星海？”
"You mean... that mysterious Star Sea?"
“ bù cuò 。” yǔ tóng xiān zi diǎn le diǎn tóu ：“ huà yǔ zhēn rén zhī suǒ yǐ huì wèi zì jǐ rě lái shā shēn zhī huò ， guī gēn jié dǐ ， dōu shì yīn wèi zhè jiàn bǎo wù ， rú guǒ ā xiū luó wáng néng ná dào xīng hǎi ， jiù kě yǐ jiāng xiān líng tōng dào nì zhuǎn ， fǎn suàn zhēn xiān 。”
“不错。”雨桐仙子点了点头：“化羽真人之所以会为自己惹来杀身之祸，归根结底，都是因为这件宝物，如果阿修罗王能拿到星海，就可以将仙灵通道逆转，反算真仙。”
"Exactly," Rain桐仙子 nodded. "Feathers True Immortal's misfortune stemmed from this treasure. If the Asura King could obtain the Star Sea, she would reverse the Celestial Spirit Channel and turn the tables on the True Immortals."
“ xiān líng tōng dào nì zhuǎn ？”
“仙灵通道逆转？”
"Celestial Spirit Channel reversal?"
“ kě nà shì shén me ？”
“可那是什么？”
"But what is it?"
“ jiǎn dān de shuō zhēn xiān zuò wèi shàng jiè de cún zài ， dào sān qiān shì jiè zhōng lái ， suī rán bìng bù róng yì ， dàn zhǐ yào fù chū yī xiē dài jià ， què yě shì zǒng yǒu bàn fǎ néng gòu bàn dào dì ， ér xiān líng tōng dào yí dàn nì zhuǎn ， zhì shǎo wǔ bǎi wàn nián nèi ， zhēn xiān dōu bù kě néng dào xià jiè zhōng lái 。”
“简单的说真仙做为上界的存在，到三千世界中来，虽然并不容易，但只要付出一些代价，却也是总有办法能够办到地，而仙灵通道一旦逆转，至少五百万年内，真仙都不可能到下界中来。”
"Simply put, as Upper Realm beings, True Immortals can come to the Three Thousand Worlds with some effort. But once the Celestial Spirit Channel reverses, for at least five hundred million years, no True Immortal will be able to descend into the lower realms."
“ ér liú luò dào líng jiè de zhēn xiān ， yě wú fǎ huí qù 。”
“而流落到灵界的真仙，也无法回去。”
"And True Immortals in our realm won't be able to return either."
“ nǐ shì shuō ……”
“你是说……”
"You mean..."
tīng yǔ tóng xiān zi jiǎng dào zhè lǐ ， lín xuān xīn zhōng yǐn yǐn yǒu le yī xiē míng wù 。
听雨桐仙子讲到这里，林轩心中隐隐有了一些明悟。
Listening to Rain桐仙子, Lin Xuan's mind began to piece together some of the ancient secrets. He had always been interested in these matters and knew a bit about them.
bì jìng tā duì yú shàng gǔ yǐn mì ， yǐ qián yě yì zhí hěn guān zhù ， huò duō huò shǎo zhī dào yì diǎn 。
毕竟他对于上古隐秘，以前也一直很关注，或多或少知道一点。
It was said that during their battle at the Polar Yuan Guang Hall, the Asura King fought bare-handed without her treasure, the Yin Treasure Box.
jù shuō běi jí yuán guāng diàn yī zhàn ā xiū luó wáng chì shǒu kōng quán 。 bìng méi yǒu dài zhe zì jǐ de bǎo wù xuán yīn bǎo hé 。
据说北极元光殿一战阿修罗王赤手空拳。并没有带着自己的宝物玄阴宝盒。
Before this, she had already prepared for reincarnation.
jù shuō zài cǐ zhī qián ， ā xiū luó wáng yǐ wèi tóu tāi zhuǎn shì zuò zhǔn bèi le 。
据说在此之前，阿修罗王已为投胎转世做准备了。
She seemed to have no hope of survival, not even considering that she might live through the fight.
yī xīn qiú sǐ ， sì hū gēn běn jiù méi yǒu xiǎng guò zhè yī zhàn zì jǐ néng huó 。
一心求死，似乎根本就没有想过这一战自己能活。
Back then, Lin Xuan was baffled. Now, all the answers were starting to emerge.
dāng nián lín xuān shì bǎi sī bù dé qí jiě ， ér xiàn zài ， yī qiè dá àn dōu kāi shǐ fú chū shuǐ miàn 。
当年林轩是百思不得其解，而现在，一切答案都开始浮出水面。
The Asura King's attack on the Spirit Realm may have been out of anger, wanting to teach a lesson to those foolish beings. But in essence, it was just a facade; after all, those despicable True Immortals were the real culprits.
ā xiū luó wáng jìn gōng líng jiè huò xǔ shì yīn wèi yī shí fèn nù ， xiǎng yào jiào xùn jiào xùn nà xiē yú chǔn de jiā huo ， dàn guī gēn jié dǐ ， yě bù guò shì huǎng zi bà le ， bì jìng nà xiē bēi bǐ de zhēn xiān ， cái shì shǐ zuò yǒng zhě 。
阿修罗王进攻灵界或许是因为一时愤怒，想要教训教训那些愚蠢的家伙，但归根结底，也不过是幌子罢了，毕竟那些卑鄙的真仙，才是始作俑者。
But good men cannot stand against overwhelming numbers. Moreover, at this point, the Asura King might not be able to defeat Tian Xiang. What should she do?
dàn hǎo hàn dí bù guò rén duō 。 hé kuàng cǐ shí de ā xiū luó ， bù yí dìng néng jiāng tián xiāng dǎ guò ， nà zěn me bàn ？
但好汉敌不过人多。何况此时的阿修罗，不一定能将田襄打过，那怎么办？
Revenge is a dish best served cold. The Asura King began her plot.
jūn zǐ bào chóu shí nián bù wǎn ， ā xiū luó wáng kāi shǐ bù jú 。
君子报仇十年不晚，阿修罗王开始布局。
Although Feathers True Immortal's essence had self-destructed, his soul remained intact and entered the Six Realms of Rebirth. While it was uncertain if he could reincarnate, there was still some hope.
huà yǔ zhēn rén de yuán yīng suī rán zì bào le ， dàn hún pò wèi miè ， jìn rù le liù dào lún huí zhī zhōng ， suī rán shì fǒu néng gòu tóu tāi zhuǎn shì bù hǎo shuō ， dàn zǒng yǒu yī xiàn xī wàng bú shì me ？
化羽真人的元婴虽然自爆了，但魂魄未灭，进入了六道轮回之中，虽然是否能够投胎转世不好说，但总有一线希望不是么？
Thus, the Asura King took a bold gamble.
yú shì ā xiū luó wáng lái le yī cì háo dǔ 。
于是阿修罗王来了一次豪赌。
If she couldn't defeat them now, what about five hundred million years later?
xiàn zài dǎ nǐ men bù guò ， nà wǔ bǎi wàn nián zhī hòu ne ？
现在打你们不过，那五百万年之后呢？
Reversing the Celestial Spirit Channel was to allow the Three Thousand Worlds to recuperate and flourish. Five hundred million years would be enough for these realms to thrive.
tā zhī suǒ yǐ nì zhuǎn xiān líng tōng dào jiù shì wèi le ràng sān qiān shì jiè xiū yǎng shēng xī 。 wǔ bǎi wàn nián zú yǐ ràng zhè me duō jiè miàn fán róng yǐ jí 。
她之所以逆转仙灵通道就是为了让三千世界休养生息。五百万年足以让这么多界面繁荣以极。
With True Immortals unable to descend, they were helpless. Otherwise, with their treachery, they would mercilessly slaughter the top experts in the Three Thousand Worlds.
zhēn xiān bù néng xià jiè ， yě jiù wú kě nài hé ， fǒu zé yǐ tā men de bēi bǐ ， kěn dìng huì yī bù zuò 。 èr bù xiū ， sì yì tú chuō sān qiān shì jiè de dǐng jiān gāo shǒu 。
真仙不能下界，也就无可奈何，否则以他们的卑鄙，肯定会一不做。二不休，肆意屠戳三千世界的顶尖高手。
By eliminating late-stage Golden Core cultivators, no one could challenge them.
zhǐ yào miè shā diào dù jié hòu qī de cún zài ， jiù méi yǒu rén néng yǔ tā men jiào bǎn 。
只要灭杀掉渡劫后期的存在，就没有人能与他们叫板。
Now, all that was left was for True Immortals to watch helplessly.
ér xiàn zài ， zhēn xiān zhǐ néng gān dèng yǎn 。
而现在，真仙只能干瞪眼。
"Your analysis is correct," Rain桐仙子 said with approval. "But you are only half right."
“ nǐ de cāi cè bù cuò 。” tīng le lín xuān de fēn xī 。 yǔ tóng xiān zi de liǎn shàng lù chū le yī sī zàn xǔ ：“ dàn zhǐ shuō duì le yí bàn ér yǐ 。”
“你的猜测不错。”听了林轩的分析。雨桐仙子的脸上露出了一丝赞许：“但只说对了一半而已。”
"Half?"
“ yí bàn ？”
“一半？”
"Yes, the Asura King's strategy is indeed about recuperation. But things aren't as simple as they seem. Tian Xiang is cunning; he knows that truth will eventually come to light. Feathers True Immortal was wronged, and they were the ones who prevented others from ascending to immortality..."
“ bù cuò ， ā xiū luó wáng de cè lüè què shí shì xiū yǎng shēng xī ， dàn shì qíng bìng méi yǒu xiǎng xiàng de nà me róng yì 。 tián xiāng kě shì hěn jiǎo huá dì ， tā yě zhī dào zhǐ bāo bú zhù huǒ ， zǒng yǒu yī tiān ， sān qiān shì jiè huì zhī dào zhēn xiàng shì shén me ， huà yǔ zhēn rén shì bèi yuān wǎng de ， tā men cái shì ràng dà jiā wú fǎ fēi shēng chéng xiān de shǐ zuò yǒng zhě ……”
“不错，阿修罗王的策略确实是休养生息，但事情并没有想象的那么容易。田襄可是很狡猾地，他也知道纸包不住火，总有一天，三千世界会知道真相是什么，化羽真人是被冤枉的，他们才是让大家无法飞升成仙的始作俑者……”
"Originally, he planned to massacre all the experts in the Three Thousand Worlds. Unfortunately, the Asura King outmaneuvered him, foreseeing this outcome and reversing the Celestial Spirit Channel first."
“ yuán běn ， tā dǎ suàn jiāng sān qiān shì jiè de gāo shǒu tú chuō ， kě xī ā xiū luó wáng qí gāo yī zhāo ， yǐ jīng liào dào le zhè zhǒng jié guǒ ， suǒ yǐ qiǎng xiān yī bù ， jiāng xiān líng tōng dào nì zhuǎn le 。”
“原本，他打算将三千世界的高手屠戳，可惜阿修罗王棋高一着，已经料到了这种结果，所以抢先一步，将仙灵通道逆转了。”
"If that happened, Tian Xiang would be powerless and have to return to the Heavenly Realm before them."
“ rú guǒ yī lái ， tián xiāng yě wú kě nài hé ， zhǐ hǎo gǎn zài zhè zhī qián ， huí dào le xiān jiè zhī zhōng 。”
“如果一来，田襄也无可奈何，只好赶在这之前，回到了仙界之中。”
"The other True Immortals were not so lucky; they were abandoned in our realm..."
“ ér qí yú de zhēn xiān ， kě jiù méi yǒu nà me hǎo yùn le ， bèi dàng zuò le qì zi ， rēng zài le líng jiè zhī zhōng ……”
“而其余的真仙，可就没有那么好运了，被当作了弃子，扔在了灵界之中……”
"These True Immortals were both shocked and enraged. As beings of the Heavenly Realm, they naturally did not want to remain in the lower realms. Their only hope was to find the Blue Star Sea."
“ zhè xiē zhēn xiān yòu jīng yòu nù ， shēn wèi xiān jiè de cún zài ， zì rán bù yuàn yì zhì liú zài xià jiè zhī zhōng ， tā men wéi yī de xī wàng ， yě shì zhǎo dào lán sè xīng hǎi 。”
“这些真仙又惊又怒，身为仙界的存在，自然不愿意滞留在下界之中，他们唯一的希望，也是找到蓝色星海。”
"And thus came their battle at the Polar Yuan Guang Hall..."
“ yú shì ， zhè cái yǒu le běi jí yuán guāng diàn yī zhàn ……”
“于是，这才有了北极元光殿一战……”
...
……
……
"Thus, it all makes sense."
“ yuán lái rú cǐ 。”
“原来如此。”
After Rain桐仙子's description, Lin Xuan could guess what had happened in ancient times, though he couldn't say with certainty.
tīng le yǔ tóng xiān zi de miáo shù ， lín xuān duì yú shàng gǔ fā shēng le shén me ， suī rán bù gǎn shuō liǎo rú zhǐ zhǎng ， dàn dà tǐ yě kě yǐ cāi dào le 。
听了雨桐仙子的描述，林轩对于上古发生了什么，虽然不敢说了如指掌，但大体也可以猜到了。
The Asura King placed her hopes on a million years later but did not mean to abandon this life.
ā xiū luó wáng jiāng xī wàng fàng zài bǎi wàn nián hòu ， dàn bìng bù yì wèi zhe tā zhè yī shì jiù huì jiāng zì jǐ de xìng mìng gěi fàng qì le 。
阿修罗王将希望放在百万年后，但并不意味着她这一世就会将自己的性命给放弃了。
Tian Xiang managed to escape far away. However, the other True Immortals left in the Spirit Realm had their own plans.
tián xiāng suàn tā táo dé yuǎn ， ér qí tā zhì liú zài líng jiè de zhēn xiān ， ā xiū luó wáng què yǐ jīng yǒu le zì jǐ de dǎ suàn 。
田襄算他逃得远，而其他滞留在灵界的真仙，阿修罗王却已经有了自己的打算。
Hit them one by one.
gè gè jī pò 。
各个击破。
With her strength, she could easily defeat ordinary True Immortals and ensure victory.
yǐ tā de shí lì dān tiāo yì bān de zhēn xiān gēn běn jiù suàn bù liǎo shén me 。
以她的实力单挑一般的真仙根本就算不了什么。
Thus, most of the lower realm True Immortals perished. The last three obtained the Blue Star Sea but were trapped at the Polar Yuan Guang Hall by the Asura King.
yǒu zhàn ér shèng zhī de bǎ wò 。
有战而胜之的把握。
A great battle ensued; two True Immortals died while one was injured. The Asura King discarded her physical form and reincarnated herself.
jiù zhè yàng ， xià jiè de zhēn xiān ， jī hū dà bàn dōu yǐ jīng yǔn luò ， zuì hòu de sān gè ， dé dào le lán sè xīng hǎi ， què bèi ā xiū luó wáng dǔ zài běi jí yuán guāng diàn 。
就这样，下界的真仙，几乎大半都已经陨落，最后的三个，得到了蓝色星海，却被阿修罗王堵在北极元光殿。
The Blue Star Sea fell into their hands, lost in some corner of the Spirit Realm.
yī cháng dà zhàn ， zhēn xiān yī sǐ liǎng shāng ， ér ā xiū luó wáng ， yě shě qì le zì jǐ de pí náng ， chóng xīn lún huí zhuǎn shì 。
一场大战，真仙一死两伤，而阿修罗王，也舍弃了自己的皮囊，重新轮回转世。
Though things had ended for the True Immortals, the Blue Star Sea still caused countless disturbances in the realm.
zhì yú lán sè xīng hǎi ， zé yóu tā men de shǒu zhōng shī luò ， diào zài le líng jiè de mǒu gè dì fāng 。
至于蓝色星海，则由他们的手中失落，掉在了灵界的某个地方。
The Mo Yue Clan thus perished.
shì qíng zhì cǐ ， bìng méi yǒu wán quán jié shù ， zhēn xiān shì bù néng xià jiè le ， kě lán sè xīng hǎi ， hái shì zài líng jiè yǐn qǐ liǎo wú shù de fēng bō 。
事情至此，并没有完全结束，真仙是不能下界了，可蓝色星海，还是在灵界引起了无数的风波。
Of course, this was a later development unrelated to Lin Xuan's interest in ancient secrets.
mò yuè zú yě yīn cǐ huī fēi yān miè diào le 。
墨月族也因此灰飞烟灭掉了。
Lin Xuan sighed. The Dragon Master's brow remained furrowed: "If that's the case, why do I have no memory of these events? Logically, I should remember experiencing them."
dāng rán ， zhè shì hòu lái de biàn gù ， zhì shǎo yǔ lín xuān xiǎng yào liǎo jiě de shàng gǔ yǐn mì yǐ jīng méi yǒu duō shǎo guān xì le 。
当然，这是后来的变故，至少与林轩想要了解的上古隐秘已经没有多少关系了。
"Exactly," the Whale King and Broad Cold True Immortal shared a similar expression. "This was all Tian Xiang's plot."
lín xuān shū le kǒu qì ， ér nài lóng zhēn rén de méi tóu yī jiù zhòu zài yì qǐ ：“ jì rán rú cǐ ， wèi shén me zhè xiē shì qíng ， běn shuài gē què shì yì diǎn jì yì yě wú ， àn lǐ shuō ， wǒ yīng gāi dōu qīn shēn jīng lì guò 。”
林轩舒了口气，而鼐龙真人的眉头依旧皱在一起：“既然如此，为什么这些事情，本帅哥却是一点记忆也无，按理说，我应该都亲身经历过。”
"Tian Xiang?"
“ bù cuò ， wǒ men zěn me huì yì diǎn yìn xiàng yě méi yǒu ne ？” jù jīng wáng yǔ guǎng hán zhēn rén de biǎo qíng yě xiāng chà fǎng fú 。
“不错，我们怎么会一点印象也没有呢？”巨鲸王与广寒真人的表情也相差仿佛。
"Yes, with Feathers True Immortal's fall, he became the top expert in the Heavenly Realm. He started this entire mess and fears that his conspiracy might be exposed, leading to conflict with the Three Thousand Worlds."
“ zhè dōu shì tián xiāng de yīn móu 。”
“这都是田襄的阴谋。”
"Originally, he planned to massacre all the experts in the Three Thousand Worlds but found out that the Asura King had already reversed the Celestial Spirit Channel, preventing True Immortals from descending into lower realms. Forced to retreat, he used a mysterious artifact to erase everyone's memory of this period," Rain桐仙子's voice echoed.
“ tián xiāng ？”
“田襄？”
"What?"
“ bù cuò ， huà yǔ zhēn rén jì rán yǔn luò ， zhè jiā huo jiù chéng le zhēn xiān jiè de dì yī gāo shǒu ， zhěng jiàn shì qíng ， tā yě shì shǐ zuò yǒng zhě ， zì rán hài pà wàn yī yīn móu bào lù ， sān qiān shì jiè yǔ zì jǐ wèi dí de 。”
“不错，化羽真人既然陨落，这家伙就成了真仙界的第一高手，整件事情，他也是始作俑者，自然害怕万一阴谋暴露，三千世界与自己为敌的。”
Lin Xuan was shocked. The expressions on Dragon Master and Broad Cold's faces mirrored his own disbelief. (To be continued...)
"Thus, it all makes sense." ```23x```
Lin Xuan finally understood the entire sequence of events. The subsequent plot was easy to predict.
