bù guò àn zhào guò qù de jīng yàn lái kàn ， zài xuán huáng jiè fā dòng luàn zì jué ， shì bì huì yǐn qǐ chuán fǎ de zhù yì 、 jiāng tā cóng xū kōng zhōng zhào huí 。
不过按照过去的经验来看，在玄黄界发动乱字诀，势必会引起传法的注意、将他从虚空中召回。
However, based on past experience, activating the "Disorder Art" in the Xuanhuang Realm would inevitably draw the attention of the Transmission Technique Supreme Sovereign and recall him from the void.
yǒu chuán fǎ tiān zūn qīn zì zhèn yā de xuán huáng jiè ， jī hū chū bù liǎo shén me luàn zi 。
有传法天尊亲自镇压的玄黄界，几乎出不了什么乱子。
In a realm where the Transmission Technique Supreme Sovereign personally oversees everything, major disruptions are unlikely to occur. Demons and monsters must temporarily avoid its influence, so Li Fan generally wouldn't consider such tactics.
shén me chī mèi wǎng liǎng dōu yào zàn bì qí fēng máng ， suǒ yǐ lǐ fán yì bān qíng kuàng xià ， bú huì kǎo lǜ zhè zhǒng shǒu duàn 。
什么魑魅魍魉都要暂避其锋芒，所以李凡一般情况下，不会考虑这种手段。
Within this colorful space, apart from the two aforementioned creations, there was another relatively mature method for world destruction: launching reinforced small flying bodies towards the Immortal Vastness.
cǐ chù qī cǎi kōng jiān lǐ ， chú le yǐ shàng liǎng zhǒng zào wù zhī wài ， hái yǒu dì sān zhǒng xiāng duì ér yán bǐ jiào chéng shú de miè shì fāng àn 。
此处七彩空间里，除了以上两种造物之外，还有第三种相对而言比较成熟的灭世方案。
These flying bodies were designed based on the principle of puppetry, making them seem like living creatures. Apart from the part that flies toward the Immortal Vastness to attract attention from immortals, half of these entities remain in the Xuanhuang Realm.
nà jiù shì cháo zhe xiān xū fā shè jiā gù hòu de xiǎo xíng fēi xíng tǐ 。
那就是朝着仙墟发射加固后的小型飞行体。
Once they enter the Immortal Vastness, their presence will trigger the alert of immortals within it, as if humans are peering into something. This will cause them to trace back through the flying bodies and lock onto the Xuanhuang Realm across the void, achieving a world-destroying effect.
zhè fēi xíng tǐ cān zhào tiān yáng shēn huà kuǐ lěi de yuán lǐ ， wǎn rú huó wù 。
这飞行体参照天阳身化傀儡的原理，宛如活物。
This was similar to what Li Fan had done unintentionally before.
chú le fēi xiàng xiān xū 、 yǐn qǐ qí zhōng xiān rén zhù yì de nà bù fèn zhī wài ， zài xuán huáng jiè zhōng hái yǒu lìng wài yí bàn gè tǐ cún zài 。
除了飞向仙墟、引起其中仙人注意的那部分之外，在玄黄界中还有另外一半个体存在。
Beyond these three methods, everything else is still under research and development. They are theoretically feasible but have not been truly tested yet.
dāng qí jìn rù xiān xū zhī hòu ， wǎn ruò rén lèi kuī tàn de mù guāng ， jiù huì yǐn qǐ xiān xū xiān rén de jǐng jué 。
当其进入仙墟之后，宛若人类窥探的目光，就会引起仙墟仙人的警觉。
For example, in the Heavenly Spirit State space, breaking apart the intersecting lines that represent the fundamental principles of Xuanhuang's universe would destroy its foundation, causing the world to naturally deteriorate.
jì ér shùn zhe fēi xíng tǐ zhī jiān de lián xì ， héng kuà xū kōng ， suǒ dìng xuán huáng jiè 。
继而顺着飞行体之间的联系，横跨虚空，锁定玄黄界。
Or, producing a large number of artifacts imbued with divine techniques and spreading them throughout the Xuanhuang Realm. This would inevitably disrupt the natural functioning of the world, filling it with incorrect heavenly commands that might even override the actual mechanisms needed for cosmic operation, leading to global chaos. The Xuanhuang Realm might then undergo some self-adjustment, possibly triggering another major change.
cóng ér dá dào yī yǎn miè shì de xiào guǒ 。
从而达到一眼灭世的效果。
...
zhèng rú lǐ fán cǐ qián wú yì zhōng suǒ zuò de nà yàng 。
正如李凡此前无意中所做的那样。
Currently, Li Fan still held the essence of the Heavenly Xuan Mirror and, as someone with top-tier permissions, could greedily review the sealed archives of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance. The various calamities that had befallen the Xuanhuang Continent were long forgotten due to the influence of the无忧 Supreme Sovereign's divine power. Only Li Fan had picked them up again and regarded them as treasures.
cǐ sān zhě zhī wài ， zé quán shì shàng zài yán jiū 、 kāi fā zhī zhōng de le 。 zhǐ shì lǐ lùn shàng kě xíng ， hái méi yǒu zhēn zhèng shì yàn guò 。
此三者之外，则全是尚在研究、开发之中的了。只是理论上可行，还没有真正试验过。
The various world-destroying measures within this space were the only means through which Li Fan could compete with even immortal realms or higher powers.
bǐ rú ， zài tiān líng zhōu kōng jiān zhōng ， jiāng nà xiē dài biǎo xuán huáng jiè tiān dì zhī lǐ de zòng héng jiāo cuò de xiàn tiáo ， yī yī qiè suì 。 huǐ huài xuán huáng shì jiè jī shí ， shǐ de shì jiè běn shēn zì rán ér rán de pò bài kāi lái 。
比如，在天灵州空间中，将那些代表玄黄界天地之理的纵横交错的线条，一一切碎。毁坏玄黄世界基石，使得世界本身自然而然的破败开来。
As the last piece of净土 in the darkest star sea, the existence of the Xuanhuang Realm was a prerequisite for cultivators to survive. Mastering the art of world destruction would give him leverage over everyone in the Xuanhuang Realm.
zài bǐ rú ， dà guī mó zhì zào yùn hán shén tōng de fǎ qì ， xiàng xuán huáng jiè gè dì chuán bō 、 fā sàn 。 rú cǐ yī lái ， shì bì huì zào chéng tiān dì yùn zhuàn de hùn luàn 。 chōng chì zhe cuò wù de tiān dào zhǐ lìng ， shèn zhì huì fù gài diào yuán běn zhēn zhèng xū yào zhí xíng de tiān dì yùn zhuàn jī zhì 。 cóng ér zào chéng jǔ shì dòng dàng 。 suí jí xuán huáng jiè yīng gāi huì jìn xíng yí dìng chéng dù de zì wǒ tiáo zhěng 。 shuō bù dìng huì zài dù yǐn fā zhī lèi de jù biàn 。
再比如，大规模制造蕴含神通的法器，向玄黄界各地传播、发散。如此一来，势必会造成天地运转的混乱。充斥着错误的天道指令，甚至会覆盖掉原本真正需要执行的天地运转机制。从而造成举世动荡。随即玄黄界应该会进行一定程度的自我调整。说不定会再度引发之类的剧变。
Not only did these methods have significant use in this world; as long as Li Fan remained within the Xuanhuang Realm, they were crucial to him.
……
……
Thus, he created a holy embryo and then used a True Immortal Faceless Stone Image to bestow cultivation. This elevated the holy embryo to the Golden Core realm, which was sufficient to support his research in this space.
lǐ fán rú jīn réng rán chí yǒu tiān xuán jìng běn yuán ， yǒu zhe zuì gāo jí quán xiàn de tā ， néng gòu rú jī sì kě de chá kàn wàn xiān méng nà xiē bèi chén fēng de dàng àn 。
李凡如今仍然持有天玄镜本源，有着最高级权限的他，能够如饥似渴的查看万仙盟那些被尘封的档案。
After carefully reinforcing the seven-color light seal around him, Li Fan quietly left the area and arrived at the imperial microcosm.
guò wǎng fā shēng zài xuán huáng dà dì shàng de zhǒng zhǒng kǔ nàn zāi è ， yóu yú wú yōu tiān zūn de shén lì yǐng xiǎng 、 zǎo yǐ jīng bèi rén men suǒ dàn wàng 。 wéi yǒu lǐ fán ， jiāng tā men chóng xīn jiǎn qǐ ， bìng shì zuò zhēn bǎo 。
过往发生在玄黄大地上的种种苦难灾厄，由于无忧天尊的神力影响、早已经被人们所淡忘。唯有李凡，将它们重新捡起，并视作珍宝。
Due to the fusion with the Spirit Wood Realm, the world itself had undergone some subtle changes. Many of the strange beasts within the empire died due to their inability to adapt to these dramatic changes in the environment. The remaining ones gradually recovered over nearly two years.
kōng jiān zhōng de zhǒng zhǒng miè shì jǔ cuò ， shì rú jīn lǐ fán wéi yī néng gòu gēn cháng shēng jìng shèn zhì cháng shēng zhī shàng de lì liàng bó yì de guān jiàn 。
空间中的种种灭世举措，是如今李凡唯一能够跟长生境甚至长生之上的力量博弈的关键。
In the center of the empire, where the imperial castle used to be, a round-arched building now stood.
zuò wéi zhì àn xīng hǎi zhōng ， wéi yī xìng cún zhì jīn de jìng tǔ 。 xuán huáng jiè cún zài ， shì xiū shì néng gòu shēng cún de qián tí 。
作为至暗星海中，唯一幸存至今的净土。玄黄界存在，是修士能够生存的前提。
This was the experimental site established by the Ten Thousand Realms Alliance within the empire.
ér zhǎng wò le miè shì zhī fǎ ， jiù zhǎng wò le gēn xuán huáng jiè suǒ yǒu rén tán pàn de chóu mǎ 。
而掌握了灭世之法，就掌握了跟玄黄界所有人谈判的筹码。
After three generations of improvement, the efficiency of generating spirit energy had almost doubled. The probability of anomalies causing the cosmic furnace to fail had also been significantly reduced.
bù jǐn jǐn shì cǐ shì yǒu dà yòng 。 zhǐ yào lǐ fán yī rì mò yǒu tuō lí xuán huáng jiè ， zhè lǐ dōu duì tā zhì guān zhòng yào 。
不仅仅是此世有大用。只要李凡一日没有脱离玄黄界，这里都对他至关重要。
Now, one cosmic furnace could continuously release spirit energy for a century without interruption, basically meeting the needs of the Ten Thousand Realms Alliance.
suǒ yǐ lǐ fán gān cuì fēn huà chū yī jù shèng tāi ， ér hòu zài yòng wú miàn zhēn xiān shí xiàng 、 shǎng cì xiū wèi 。 jiāng shèng tāi qiáng xíng tí bá dào jīn dān jìng jiè ， yě zú gòu zhī chí qí zài kōng jiān zhī zhōng de yán jiū gōng zuò le 。
所以李凡干脆分化出一具圣胎，而后再用无面真仙石像、赏赐修为。将圣胎强行提拔到金丹境界，也足够支持其在空间之中的研究工作了。
Over five years, the overall concentration of spirit energy in the fused Spirit Wood Realm was no longer weaker than that of the Xuanhuang Realm.
xiǎo xīn yì yì de jiā gù le fān sì zhōu de qī cǎi shén guāng fēng yìn ， lǐ fán suí hòu qiǎo rán lí kāi cǐ chù 。
小心翼翼的加固了番四周的七彩神光封印，李凡随后悄然离开此处。
Of course, this was partly due to the vastness of the Xuanhuang Realm.
lái dào le dì guó xiǎo shì jiè zhōng 。
来到了帝国小世界中。
The focus of Empress Qiao and others shifted to coordinating the fusion between the imperial microcosm and the Spirit Wood Realm.
yóu yú gēn líng mù jiè shì jiè de róng hé ， dǎo zhì le shì jiè běn shēn fā shēng le xiē xǔ wēi miào de biàn huà 。 dì guó zhōng dà liàng de yì shòu yīn wèi wú fǎ shì yìng zhè zhǒng tiān dì jù biàn ， fēn fēn sǐ wáng 。
由于跟灵木界世界的融合，导致了世界本身发生了些许微妙的变化。帝国中大量的异兽因为无法适应这种天地剧变，纷纷死亡。
As for the empress, Li Fan entrusted her with another task.
ér shèng xià lái de nà xiē yě dōu shì zài wú jīng dǎ cǎi zhōng ， yòng le jìn hū liǎng sān nián de shí jiān ， cái màn màn huī fù le jīng shén 。
而剩下来的那些也都是在无精打采中，用了近乎两三年的时间，才慢慢恢复了精神。
In the dome laboratory, Empress Qiao was intently focusing on a space filled with countless tiny insects that seemed like black mist. She didn't notice Li Fan's silent arrival.
rú jīn dì guó zhōng yāng ， yuán xiān huáng shì chéng bǎo suǒ zài de wèi zhì ， duō le yī zuò yuán gǒng xíng de jiàn zhù 。
如今帝国中央，原先皇室城堡所在的位置，多了一座圆拱形的建筑。
Li Fan glanced at the experimental records.
nà shì wàn jiè lián hé huì zài dì guó shè lì de shì yàn chǎng suǒ 。
那是万界联合会在帝国设立的试验场所。
"Primordial One Dao Insect variant, 76th test."
néng gòu hé chéng líng qì de ， jīng guò lián xù sān dài de gǎi liáng ， rú jīn shēng chéng líng qì de xiào lǜ yǐ jīng jī hū fān le yí bèi 。
能够合成灵气的，经过连续三代的改良，如今生成灵气的效率已经几乎翻了一倍。
"Fusing it with true fungi has greatly shortened its lifespan but increased its reproductive efficiency by more than a hundred times."
bìng qiě ǒu ěr huì biàn yì 、 dǎo zhì tiān dì hōng lú shī xiào de gài lǜ yě bèi dà fú dù jiàng dī 。
并且偶尔会变异、导致天地烘炉失效的概率也被大幅度降低。
"According to calculations, under sufficient resources, a single Dao Insect can multiply its population to an billion within just seven days."
rú jīn yí gè tiān dì hōng lú ， zú gòu wěn dìng 、 bù jiàn duàn shì fàng líng qì chí xù bǎi nián 。
如今一个天地烘炉，足够稳定、不间断释放灵气持续百年。
"The key record: the spirit energy produced by this variant of the Dao Insects, while still usable by cultivators and initially showing no abnormalities, will subtly affect them once consumed in large quantities. Beyond half their stored spiritual power, they will become more irritable and aggressive."
jī běn yǐ jīng mǎn zú wàn jiè lián hé huì de xū qiú le 。
基本已经满足万界联合会的需求了。
"More crucially, these insects develop a dependency on the mutated spirit energy, feeling that normal spirit energy is insufficient."
wǔ nián guò qù ， róng hé hòu de líng mù jiè zhěng tǐ de líng qì nóng dù ， yǐ jīng bù ruò yú xuán huáng jiè le 。
五年过去，融合后的灵木界整体的灵气浓度，已经不弱于玄黄界了。
...
dāng rán ， zhè lǐ yě yǒu xuán huáng jiè tài guò liáo kuò de yuán yīn 。
当然，这里也有玄黄界太过辽阔的原因。
Li Fan nodded approvingly as he read Empress Qiao's detailed experimental records.
dì guó xiǎo qīng 、 xiǎo hóng děng rén de gōng zuò zhòng xīn ， yě zhuǎn yí dào xié tiáo dì guó xiǎo shì jiè gēn líng mù jiè róng hé zhī shàng 。
帝国小青、小红等人的工作重心，也转移到协调帝国小世界跟灵木界融合之上。
The imperial lineage was indeed passed down from Xue Ke's holy embryo. Empress Qiao perfectly inherited Xue Ke's talents.
zhì yú dì nǚ ， lǐ fán zé shì jiāo gěi le tā lìng wài de rèn wù 。
至于帝女，李凡则是交给了她另外的任务。
Over these five years, she had led many experiments with notable breakthroughs, especially in the research of Dao Insect variants.
qióng dǐng shí yàn shì nèi ， dì nǚ zhèng jù jīng huì shén de dīng zhe miàn qián kōng jiān zhōng 、 mì mì má má ， wǎn ruò hēi wù de wú shù dào yī chóng 。
穹顶实验室内，帝女正聚精会神的盯着面前空间中、密密麻麻，宛若黑雾的无数道一虫。
The spirit energy produced by Dao Insects underwent various subtle changes on these variants. This new variant that made cultivators more irritable was one such change. Previously, there were others that made them lazy and lose their drive to progress. Or, too much concentration might cause a "spirit inebriation" effect. If consumed further, it could even irreversibly damage the cultivator's mental state.
lián lǐ fán qiǎo rán dào lái dōu méi yǒu zhù yì dào 。
连李凡悄然到来都没有注意到。
These mutated spirit energies couldn't destroy the Xuanhuang Realm but could be used to transform cultivators to some extent.
lǐ fán chá kàn le yī yǎn shí yàn jì lù 。
李凡查看了一眼实验记录。
They could make all cultivators within a certain area adopt a fixed personality trait.
“ shǐ zǔ dào yī chóng biàn tǐ ， dì qī shí liù cì cè shì 。”
“始祖道一虫变体，第七十六次测试。”
Li Fan was genuinely interested in this approach. After sealing the new variant data and over a hundred sample insects into his own spatial realm, he woke Empress Qiao from her deep concentration.
“ róng hé le fēn liè zhēn jūn hòu ， cǐ biàn tǐ suī rán shòu mìng dà dà suō duǎn 、 dàn shì fán zhí xiào lǜ què shì tí gāo le bǎi bèi bù zhǐ 。”
“融合了分裂真菌后，此变体虽然寿命大大缩短、但是繁殖效率却是提高了百倍不止。”
"Your Excellency has returned!" Empress Qiao's eyes showed a hint of nervousness as she quickly bowed.
“ gēn jù cè suàn ， zài zī yuán chōng zú de qíng kuàng xià ， yī zhī dào yī chóng zhǐ xū qī tiān shí jiān ， jiù kě jiāng zú qún shù liàng fán yǎn zhì yì jí bié 。”
“根据测算，在资源充足的情况下，一只道一虫只需七天时间，就可将族群数量繁衍至亿级别。”
"How is the search for the Supreme Emperor progressing?" Li Fan asked.
“ guān jiàn jì lù xìn xī ： cǐ zhǒng dào yī chóng shēng chǎn chū de líng qì ， suī rán yě néng bèi xiū shì suǒ xī shōu 、 bìng qiě chū shí bú huì gǎn dào rèn hé yì cháng 。 dàn rú guǒ xī shōu de shù liàng guò duō ， chāo guò le tǐ nèi cún chǔ líng lì de yí bàn yǐ hòu ， jiù huì duì xiū shì chǎn shēng qián yí mò huà de yǐng xiǎng 。 xiū shì jiāng huì biàn dé gèng jiā bào zào 、 gèng jiā jù yǒu gōng jī xìng 。”
“关键记录信息：此种道一虫生产出的灵气，虽然也能被修士所吸收、并且初时不会感到任何异常。但如果吸收的数量过多，超过了体内存储灵力的一半以后，就会对修士产生潜移默化的影响。修士将会变得更加暴躁、更加具有攻击性。”
"We have already eliminated half of the microcosms. No trace of the Supreme Emperor has been found yet. We expect to fully explore all remaining worlds and pinpoint his hiding place within five years," Empress Qiao replied truthfully.
However, based on past experience, activating the "Disorder Art" in the Xuanhuang Realm would inevitably draw the attention of the Transmission Technique Supreme Sovereign and recall him from the void.
In a realm where the Transmission Technique Supreme Sovereign personally oversees everything, major disruptions are unlikely to occur. Demons and monsters must temporarily avoid its influence, so Li Fan generally wouldn't consider such tactics.
