zhì yú yōu yù ， fā shēng le rú cǐ dà guī mó de táo wáng shì jiàn ， yǐ jīng míng cún shí wáng 。
至于幽狱，发生了如此大规模的逃亡事件，已经名存实亡。
As for the Dark Prison, with such a large-scale escape event, it had essentially become a mere name.
wán chéng shèng yú fàn rén de zhuǎn yí zhī hòu ， shèn zhì yōu yù rù kǒu dōu méi yǒu zài dù zhē yǎn 。
完成剩余犯人的转移之后，甚至幽狱入口都没有再度遮掩。
After completing the transfer of the remaining inmates, even the entrance to the Dark Prison was no longer concealed.
jiù cǐ huāng fèi le xià lái 。
就此荒废了下来。
It fell into disuse.
shí jiān huǎn huǎn liú shì ， zhè lǐ zài wú rén qián lái 。 fǎng fú shì jiè dōu jiāng qí yí wàng 。
时间缓缓流逝，这里再无人前来。仿佛世界都将其遗忘。
Time passed slowly, and no one came here. It seemed as if the world had forgotten about it.
bù zhī guò le duō jiǔ ， lǐ fán de shēn yǐng què shì huǎn huǎn xiǎn chū 。
不知过了多久，李凡的身影却是缓缓显出。
Unknown to him, Li Fan's figure gradually appeared.
“ bèi zhèn yā zài yōu yù zuì shēn chù ， lián wǒ dōu kàn bù qīng miàn róng 。”
“被镇压在幽狱最深处，连我都看不清面容。”
"Trapped at the deepest part of the Dark Prison, I couldn't even see his face clearly."
“ zhuǎn yí dōu xū yào sān míng chuán fǎ zhě qīn zì qián lái ……”
“转移都需要三名传法者亲自前来……”
"The transfer requires three Transcendental Preachers to personally come..."
“ yǒu qù 。”
“有趣。”
"Fascinating."
méi yǒu dì yī shí jiān gēn zhe nà qún yuè yù xiū shì yì qǐ táo zǒu ， lǐ fán ér shì zhí jiē zài rù kǒu chù duǒ le qǐ lái 。 wèi de jiù shì tàn suǒ qīng chǔ ， zhè sān nián jiān méi néng jiē jìn de yōu yù zuì shēn chù guān yā de duì xiàng 。
没有第一时间跟着那群越狱修士一起逃走，李凡而是直接在入口处躲了起来。为的就是探索清楚，这三年间没能接近的幽狱最深处关押的对象。
Instead of escaping with the other escaped cultivators, Li Fan hid directly by the entrance. His goal was to explore who was imprisoned in the darkest depths of the Dark Prison over these past three years.
dào bú shì zuì shēn chù de zhèn fǎ gāo míng dào le lǐ fán wú fǎ pò jiě de dì bù ， ér shì nà lǐ fù zé kān yā de yù zú 、 jìng rán shì sān wèi hé dào xiū shì lián shǒu 。
倒不是最深处的阵法高明到了李凡无法破解的地步，而是那里负责看押的狱卒、竟然是三位合道修士联手。
It wasn't that the array at the deepest part was too complex for him to decipher; rather, it was because they were three Transcendental Cultivators working together.
sì hū shì zhǐ wèi le zhèn yā nà yī qiú fàn ， jiù lián shàng fāng yōu yù bèi pò 、 wú shù xiōng tú táo chū de shí hòu ， tā men yě wú dòng yú zhōng 、 méi yǒu chū lái zhì zhǐ 。
似乎是只为了镇压那一囚犯，就连上方幽狱被破、无数凶徒逃出的时候，他们也无动于衷、没有出来制止。
They seemed only interested in suppressing their prisoner. Even when the Dark Prison was breached and countless criminals escaped, they remained indifferent and did not intervene.
dāng wàn xiān méng jiē yīng de duì wǔ dá dào ， tā men zhuǎn yí de guò chéng zhōng ， lǐ fán què shì dé yǐ kàn dào le nà wèi qiú fàn 。
当万仙盟接应的队伍达到，他们转移的过程中，李凡却是得以看到了那位囚犯。
When the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance's rescue team arrived, Li Fan managed to see the prisoner during their transfer process.
yǐn yǐn ràng lǐ fán jué de yǒu xiē shú xī 。
隐隐让李凡觉得有些熟悉。
The figure vaguely reminded him of someone he knew, but the secret technique concealed it, making it hard to be certain.
bù guò bèi mì fǎ zhē yǎn ， bù néng wán quán què dìng 。
不过被秘法遮掩，不能完全确定。
"Before the Great Multitude Array is completed, it’s better not to cause any more disturbances."
“ wàn líng dà zhèn méi yǒu wán chéng qián ， hái shì bù yí zài qǐ fēng bō 。”
“万灵大阵没有完成前，还是不宜再起风波。”
"For now, I'll wait until my next life to investigate further."
“ qiě dài xià yī shì yī tàn jiū jìng ba 。”
“且待下一世一探究竟吧。”
"The only thing needed now is to patiently await the right moment and see the world turn upside down!"
“ rú jīn wéi yī xū yào zuò de ， jiù shì jìng dài shí jī 、 kàn tiān fān dì fù le ！”
“如今唯一需要做的，就是静待时机、看天翻地覆了！”
Li Fan looked towards the distant horizon, seemingly seeing the Great Multitude Array lighting up in thousands of ordinary human worlds.
lǐ fán kàn xiàng yuǎn fāng tiān biān ， sì hū kàn dào le wàn líng dà zhèn zài shàng qiān fán rén shì jiè bù duàn liàng qǐ 。
李凡看向远方天边，似乎看到了万灵大阵在上千凡人世界不断亮起。
The Great Multitude Array shown for the criminals was not its complete name. This array had been derived through three years of calculations by the Separation Disc.
gěi yī zhòng xiōng tú suǒ zhǎn shì de tiān dì wàn líng dà zhèn ， qí shí bìng bú shì zhèn fǎ wán zhěng de míng zì 。
给一众凶徒所展示的天地万灵大阵，其实并不是阵法完整的名字。
It represented the highest level of arrays that could be conceived given the current state of the Separation Disc.
cǐ zhèn nǎi shì zhōng mò jiě lí dié sān nián nèi tuī yǎn suǒ de 。
此阵乃是终末解离碟三年内推演所得。
Based on the original Heaven and Earth Multitude Array covering the Spirit Wood World, Beast Kind Realm, and Empire, this further refined array was a world-shaking creation.
dài biǎo liǎo jiě lí dié dāng qián zhuàng tài xià ， suǒ néng tuī yǎn zhèn fǎ de zuì gāo shuǐ zhǔn 。
代表了解离碟当前状态下，所能推衍阵法的最高水准。
The full name of the array was "Heaven and Earth Multitude, All Beings Refining the Soul."
yǐ dāng chū fù gài líng mù jiè 、 dì guó 、 shòu zhǒng jiè de nà ge tiān dì wàn líng dà zhèn wèi chú xíng ， jìn yí bù tuī yǎn zhī hòu ， suǒ chuàng zào chū de ， jīng shì zhèn fǎ 。
以当初覆盖灵木界、帝国、兽种界的那个天地万灵大阵为雏形，进一步推演之后，所创造出的，惊世阵法。
Its primary function, which Li Fan had gone to great lengths to free the prisoners for, was to achieve the goal of "All Beings Refining the Soul."
zhèn quán míng 【 tiān dì wàn líng 、 zhòng shēng liàn shén 】。
阵全名【天地万灵、众生炼神】。
This was similar to the众生炼神 Array used by Chapter Brother Zhang during his battle with Song He and Song Song in the Fallen Immortal Illusionary Realm.
cǐ zhèn de zuì zhǔ yào gōng néng ， yě shì lǐ fán zhī suǒ yǐ fèi jìn xīn sī 、 jiě fàng chū yōu yù de zhè yī zhòng qiú fàn ， ràng tā men wèi zì jǐ mài mìng de suǒ xū yào dá dào de mù dì 。
此阵的最主要功能，也是李凡之所以费劲心思、解放出幽狱的这一众囚犯，让他们为自己卖命的所需要达到的目的。
The array's destructive power came from the intent of countless beings and the myriad spirits of the world.
jiù shì 【 zhòng shēng liàn shén 】 sì gè dà zì 。
就是【众生炼神】四个大字。
However, after Li Fan's modifications...
gēn yǔn xiān huàn jìng ， níng yuǎn chéng sòng hé sòng dāng shí duì zhàn zhāng shī xiōng suǒ shī zhǎn chū lái de zhòng shēng liàn shén zhèn ， yǒu yì qǔ tóng gōng zhī miào 。
跟陨仙幻境，宁远城宋和颂当时对战章师兄所施展出来的众生炼神阵，有异曲同工之妙。
It had grown a thousand billion times stronger.
zhèn fǎ shā shāng ， dōu shì yòng tiān dì wàn líng 、 wú shù zhòng shēng de yì niàn 。
阵法杀伤，都是用天地万灵、无数众生的意念。
Because it required materials that were a thousand billion times more substantial.
zhǐ bù guò ， jīng guò lǐ fán gǎi bǎn hòu de ……
只不过，经过李凡改版后的……
Back then, with just one city’s worth of human power, Song He and Song Song nearly forced Chapter Brother Zhang into a desperate situation, forcing him to reveal the secret of his immortal purple core.
qiáng le bǎi qiān yì bèi bù zhǐ 。
强了百千亿倍不止。
But Li Fan used thousands of small worlds within the Xuanhuang Realm and trillions of lives to merely buy himself some time against an Unmasked True Immortal.
yīn wèi suǒ xū yào xiāo hào diào de cái liào ， duō le bǎi qiān yì bèi 。
因为所需要消耗掉的材料，多了百千亿倍。
With the Spirit Wood World's destruction by the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, Li Fan spent these three years in the Dark Prison, meticulously reviewing his final plan for world annihilation.
dāng shí sòng hé sòng yòng yī chéng fán rén zhī lì ， jī hū jiù néng jiāng zhāng shī xiōng bī rù jué jìng 、 bèi pò xiǎn chū zǐ dān bù miè ào mì 。
当时宋和颂用一城凡人之力，几乎就能将章师兄逼入绝境、被迫显出紫丹不灭奥秘。
After all, it was his first encounter with a True Immortal. Even if he used indirect methods to leverage their conflict, there were endless risks involved.
ér lǐ fán ， yòng xuán huáng jiè shàng qiān xiǎo shì jiè 、 wàn yì shēng líng ， zhǐ wèi néng gòu zǔ dǎng wú miàn zhēn xiān piàn kè shí jiān 。
而李凡，用玄黄界上千小世界、万亿生灵，只为能够阻挡无面真仙片刻时间。
These two were truly transcendent immortals, not just Foundation Establishment cultivators.
líng mù jiè bèi wàn xiān méng fù miè ， duǒ zài yōu yù lǐ de zhè sān nián shí jiān ， lǐ fán yì zhí zài sī kǎo fù pán zhe zuì hòu de miè shì jì huà 。
灵木界被万仙盟覆灭，躲在幽狱里的这三年时间，李凡一直在思考复盘着最后的灭世计划。
If it had been that easy to calculate, how could they be called True Immortals?
bì jìng shì dì yī cì gēn zhēn xiān lì liàng jiāo fēng ， nǎ pà shì jiè lì dǎ lì 、 zuò shān guān xiān dòu ， yě yì wèi zhe wú jìn de fēng xiǎn 。
毕竟是第一次跟真仙力量交锋，哪怕是借力打力、坐山观仙斗，也意味着无尽的风险。
Failure would mean an irreversible disaster.
bì jìng zhè liǎng wèi ， kě shì zhēn zhēn qiè qiè chāo tuō fán sú de xiān rén 。
毕竟这两位，可是真真切切超脱凡俗的仙人。
Especially after the unexpected revelation during the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance's attack and their direct annihilation of the Spirit Wood World, Li Fan became even more cautious about his plan for world destruction.
ér bú shì yī gēn jīn de zhù jī qī xiū xíng zhě 。
而不是一根筋的筑基期修行者。
He considered every possible scenario.
ruò shì zhēn de nà me róng yì suàn jì ， yòu rú hé néng pèi dé shàng zhēn xiān zhī míng ？
若是真的那么容易算计，又如何能配得上真仙之名？
Thus, he realized a problem he had overlooked before.
yí dàn shī bài ， jiù shì wàn jié bù fù de jìng yù 。
一旦失败，就是万劫不复的境遇。
In his original plan, he first triggered the power of the Immortal Vastness immortals, then used this transcendent force to provoke the Unmasked True Immortal's reaction.
yóu qí shì jīng lì le wàn xiān méng wéi gōng ， zhǎn shì le chū rén yì liào de dǐ pái 、 zhí jiē tuán miè líng mù jiè zhī hòu ， duì yú miè shì jì huà ， lǐ fán gèng shì biàn dé qián suǒ wèi yǒu de jǐn shèn 。
尤其是经历了万仙盟围攻，展示了出人意料的底牌、直接团灭灵木界之后，对于灭世计划，李凡更是变得前所未有的谨慎。
Indeed, living beings always react instinctively to threats.
jiāng yī qiè de kě néng ， dōu suàn jì zài nèi 。
将一切的可能，都算计在内。
The Unmasked True Immortal and the Immortal Vastness immortals should have seen each other in their simulations and fought together.
yú shì ， tā fā xiàn le yí gè zhī qián bèi tā xiǎng dāng rán jiù hū lüè guò qù de wèn tí 。
于是，他发现了一个之前被他想当然就忽略过去的问题。
But Li Fan was overlooked as the instigator.
zài lǐ fán yuán běn de shè xiǎng zhōng ， xiān shì yǐn dòng xiān xū xiān rén zhī lì ， ér hòu zài jiè zhù zhè gǔ chāo tuō fán sú de lì liàng ， yǐn qǐ wú miàn zhēn xiān de fǎn yìng 。
在李凡原本的设想中，先是引动仙墟仙人之力，而后再借助这股超脱凡俗的力量，引起无面真仙的反应。
This was ideal. But what if after ascending to immortality, they no longer thought like ordinary humans?
dí què ， shēng líng zǒng shì xià yì shí de ， duì zì jǐ yǒu wēi xié de shì wù chǎn shēng fǎn yìng 。
的确，生灵总是下意识的，对自己有威胁的事物产生反应。
Or if they sensed his presence of 真还?
wú miàn zhēn xiān gēn xiān xū xiān rén ， zài mó nǐ yù cè zhōng ， yīng gāi shǒu xiān huì kàn dào bǐ cǐ 、 zhàn dòu zài yì qǐ 。
无面真仙跟仙墟仙人，在模拟预测中，应该首先会看到彼此、战斗在一起。
Wouldn't they lock onto him first before finding a worthy opponent?
ér bǎ cǐ shì de shǐ zuò yǒng zhě lǐ fán gěi hū lüè 。
而把此事的始作俑者李凡给忽略。
If he made no preparations and was locked down by a True Immortal, there wouldn’t be enough time to escape the Dark Prison or even attempt to truly return.
dàn zhè zhǐ shì lǐ xiǎng de qíng kuàng xià 。
但这只是理想的情况下。
The more Li Fan thought about it, the more restless he became.
wàn yī ， fēi shēng chéng xiān hòu ， tā men de sī wéi mó shì bù zài gēn fán rén yī yàng 。
万一，飞升成仙后，祂们的思维模式不再跟凡人一样。
Thus, he decided at least to find a way to buy himself some time.
yì huò zhě ， gǎn yìng dào lǐ fán shēn shàng de 【 hái zhēn 】 cún zài 。
亦或者，感应到李凡身上的【还真】存在。
And the Great Multitude Array of "Heaven and Earth Multitude, All Beings Refining the Soul" was the final answer provided by the Separation Disc.
méi yǒu dì yī shí jiān suǒ dìng qí gǔ xiāng dāng de duì shǒu ， ér shì xiān suǒ dìng lǐ fán ne ？
没有第一时间锁定旗鼓相当的对手，而是先锁定李凡呢？
Despite the vast difference in power between cultivators and ordinary humans, or True Immortals and cultivators,
ruò shì shén me zhǔn bèi dōu bù zuò ， dào shí hòu bèi zhēn xiān suǒ dìng ， pà bú shì lián táo wáng yōu jiè 、 qiáng xíng hái zhēn de shí jiān dōu méi yǒu 。
若是什么准备都不做，倒时候被真仙锁定，怕不是连逃亡幽界、强行还真的时间都没有。
When numbers reached a certain point, it could produce a terrifying qualitative change.
yuè shì rú cǐ xiǎng ， lǐ fán jiù yuè shì qǐn shí nán ān 。
越是如此想，李凡就越是寝食难安。
"Submerged in the endless sea of a trillion beings' intent, even a True Immortal would surely have a moment of hesitation."
yú shì tā zuì zhōng jué dìng le ， zuì qǐ mǎ yào zhǎo dào néng gòu wèi tā tuō yán chū zhè yī sī shí jiān de fāng fǎ 。
于是他最终决定了，最起码要找到能够为他拖延出这一丝时间的方法。
"This fleeting distraction is my only chance to escape."
ér 【 tiān dì wàn líng 、 zhòng shēng liàn shén 】 dà zhèn ， jiù shì jiě lí dié gěi chū de zuì zhōng dá àn 。
而【天地万灵、众生炼神】大阵，就是解离碟给出的最终答案。
True Immortal power could indeed instantly destroy Xuanhuang.
xiū xiān zhě yǔ fán rén 、 zhēn xiān yǔ xiū xiān zhě zhī jiān de chā jù ， suī rán tiān yuān zhī bié 。
修仙者与凡人、真仙与修仙者之间的差距，虽然天渊之别。
But if things unfolded as Li Fan predicted, after locking onto him, the True Immortal wouldn't immediately destroy Xuanhuang.
dàn dāng shù liàng dá dào yí dìng de chéng dù zhī hòu ， jiù néng chǎn shēng kě pà de zhì biàn 。
但当数量达到一定的程度之后，就能产生可怕的质变。
This gave Li Fan an opportunity.
“ duò rù wàn yì shēng líng yì niàn de wú jìn zhī hǎi zhōng ， nǎ pà shì zhēn xiān ， yě bì dìng huì yǒu chà nà de dòng yáo 。”
“堕入万亿生灵意念的无尽之海中，哪怕是真仙，也必定会有刹那的动摇。”
"Haha, thousands of human worlds, countless beings' intent."
“ wèi wǒ zhēng qǔ dào de zhè yī sī huǎng shén de gōng fu ， jiù shì wǒ wéi yī kě néng táo shēng de jī hū 。”
“为我争取到的这一丝恍神的功夫，就是我唯一可能逃生的几乎。”
"This is a force so immense. No matter how I calculate it, I can only buy them some time."
zhēn xiān zhī lì ， dí què kě yǐ shùn jiān cuī huǐ xuán huáng 。
真仙之力，的确可以瞬间摧毁玄黄。
"The absolute disparity in power..."
bù guò zhēn de àn lǐ fán yù gū de nà me fā zhǎn ， suǒ dìng lǐ fán zhī hòu ， wèi le zhuā zhù zhè zhǐ àn zhōng suàn jì de lóu yǐ ， zhēn xiān què yě bú huì zhí jiē jiāng xuán huáng jiè huǐ miè diào 。
不过真的按李凡预估的那么发展，锁定李凡之后，为了抓住这只暗中算计的蝼蚁，真仙却也不会直接将玄黄界毁灭掉。
"Is truly something to look forward to."
yóu cǐ jiù gěi le lǐ fán kě chéng zhī jī 。
由此就给了李凡可乘之机。
Li Fan crossed his arms behind his back and remained silent.
“ hē hē ， shàng qiān fán rén shì jiè ， shǔ bù shèng shǔ de shēng líng yì niàn 。”
“呵呵，上千凡人世界，数不胜数的生灵意念。”
With the Unmasked True Immortal's power as a constraint, those vicious prisoners would surely complete the array construction obediently.
“ zhè shì yī gǔ hé qí páng dà de lì liàng 。 dàn rèn píng wǒ rú hé tuī yǎn ， yě zhǐ néng zǔ dǎng tā men yī sī de shí jiān 。”
“这是一股何其庞大的力量。但任凭我如何推演，也只能阻挡他们一丝的时间。”
This didn't worry Li Fan.
“ zhè jué duì shí lì de chā jù ……”
“这绝对实力的差距……”
Once the array was built, it wouldn’t be under their control anymore.
“ zhēn shì ràng rén xiàng wǎng a 。”
“真是让人向往啊。”
"The All Beings Refining the Soul Array will bring about Xuanhuang’s end."
lǐ fán shuāng shǒu bèi fù ， mò rán bù yǔ 。
李凡双手背负，默然不语。
"It won't be long now; perhaps within a year."
yǒu wú miàn zhēn xiān lì liàng de yuē shù ， nà qún qióng xiōng jí è de qiú tú ， dìng rán huì lǎo lǎo shí shí de wán chéng dà zhèn de xīng jiàn 。
有无面真仙力量的约束，那群穷凶极恶的囚徒，定然会老老实实的完成大阵的兴建。
During this period, all Li Fan needed to do was wait patiently.
zhè yì diǎn dào bù yòng lǐ fán dān xīn 。
这一点倒不用李凡担心。
At the final moment of this life, Li Fan still had some unfinished business.
ér yí dàn dà zhèn jiàn chéng ， jiù bú shì tā men suǒ néng cāo kòng de le 。
而一旦大阵建成，就不是他们所能操控的了。
He first went to Tiānlíng State, where the original Five Elements Grand Cavern Heaven used to be.
“ zhòng shēng liàn shén zhèn chéng zhī rì ， jiù shì xuán huáng miè shì zhī shí 。”
“众生炼神阵成之日，就是玄黄灭世之时。”
Since the Five Elements Cavern Heaven, which had been孕育 for countless years, was devoured by Li Fan, a new Five Elements Cavern Heaven began to form in this void named "Root of Heaven and Earth."
“ kuài le ， yī nián zhī nèi ba 。”
“快了，一年之内吧。”
However, the process was extremely slow. It only vaguely showed signs of a nascent cavern heaven now.
ér zài zhè qī jiān ， lǐ fán yě zhǐ xū nài xīn děng dài jí kě 。
而在这期间，李凡也只需耐心等待即可。
Li Fan wandered through the void, activating his Ertransformation Heavenly Dao divine technique to perceive the laws of the heavens and earth.
cǐ shì zuì hòu guān tóu ， lǐ fán què hái shì yǒu xiē shōu wěi gōng zuò 。
此世最后关头，李凡却还是有些收尾工作。
Feeling the rhythm akin to the heartbeat, Li Fan narrowed his eyes, waiting for the 真还 prompt.
tā shǒu xiān lái dào le tiān líng zhōu ， yuán běn de wǔ xíng dà dòng tiān chù 。
他首先来到了天灵州，原本的五行大洞天处。
From this innate treasure he possessed, Li Fan vaguely sensed a hint of dissatisfaction.
As for the Dark Prison, with such a large-scale escape event, it had essentially become a mere name.
After completing the transfer of the remaining inmates, even the entrance to the Dark Prison was no longer concealed.
It fell into disuse.
Time passed slowly, and no one came here. It seemed as if the world had forgotten about it.
Unknown to him, Li Fan's figure gradually appeared.
"Trapped at the deepest part of the Dark Prison, I couldn't even see his face clearly."
"The transfer requires three Transcendental Preachers to personally come..."

"For now, I'll wait until my next life to investigate further."
"The only thing needed now is to patiently await the right moment and see the world turn upside down!"

This was similar to the众生炼神 Array used by Chapter Brother Zhang during his battle with Song He and Song Song in the Fallen Immortal Illusionary Realm.
The array's destructive power came from the intent of countless beings and the myriad spirits of the world.
However, after Li Fan's modifications...
It had grown a thousand billion times stronger.
Because it required materials that were a thousand billion times more substantial.
Back then, with just one city’s worth of human power, Song He and Song Song nearly forced Chapter Brother Zhang into a desperate situation, forcing him to reveal the secret of his immortal purple core.
But Li Fan used thousands of small worlds within the Xuanhuang Realm and trillions of lives to merely buy himself some time against an Unmasked True Immortal.

Since the Five Elements Cavern Heaven, which had been孕育 for countless years, was devoured by Li Fan, a new Five Elements Cavern Heaven began to form in this void named "Root of Heaven and Earth."
However, the process was extremely slow. It only vaguely showed signs of a nascent cavern heaven now.
Li Fan wandered through the void, activating his Ertransformation Heavenly Dao divine technique to perceive the laws of the heavens and earth.
Feeling the rhythm akin to the heartbeat, Li Fan narrowed his eyes, waiting for the 真还 prompt.
From this innate treasure he possessed, Li Fan vaguely sensed a hint of dissatisfaction.
