“ tiān dì wàn líng dà zhèn ， gōu tōng zhū tiān wàn jiè 。 zěn me zhèn chéng zhī hòu huì fā shēng rú cǐ guǐ yì de biàn huà ？ yí dìng shì nǎ lǐ gǎo cuò le 。”
“天地万灵大阵，沟通诸天万界。怎么阵成之后会发生如此诡异的变化？一定是哪里搞错了。”
"天地万灵大阵，沟通诸天万界。怎么阵成之后会发生如此诡异的变化？一定是哪里搞错了。"
xīn zhōng yǒng qǐ jí dù de bù ān ， zhè wèi xiū shì zhèng zhǔn bèi guān bì fǎ zhèn 。
心中涌起极度的不安，这位修士正准备关闭法阵。
The unease in his heart surged as the cultivator prepared to shut down the array.
yī qiè yǐ jīng tài chí le 。
一切已经太迟了。
It was already too late.
zhèn fǎ bù zhī wèi hé ， tū rán zì xíng yùn zhuàn 。
阵法不知为何，突然自行运转。
For some reason, the array began to operate on its own.
xuè sè jù yǎn huǎn huǎn zhēng kāi ， lù chū guǐ yì de shù tóng 。
血色巨眼缓缓睁开，露出诡异的竖瞳。
A blood-red giant eye slowly opened, revealing an eerie vertical pupil.
zhěng gè fán rén shì jiè měng dì zhèn chàn qǐ lái 。
整个凡人世界猛地震颤起来。
The entire world of mortals trembled violently.
wú shù dào xuè guāng zì dà dì shàng shēng qǐ ， yóu rú dào dào guāng zhù ， huì jù jìn rù tiān shàng de xuè sè jù yǎn zhī zhōng 。
无数道血光自大地上升起，犹如道道光柱，汇聚进入天上的血色巨眼之中。
Countless beams of bloodlight rose from the ground, like columns of light converging into the blood-red giant eye in the sky.
dāi zhì le piàn kè ， děng gǎo qīng chǔ le gāng gāng fā shēng le shén me ， nà wèi xiū shì liǎn shàng ， dùn shí yǒng qǐ wú jìn de jué wàng yǔ kǒng jù 。
呆滞了片刻，等搞清楚了刚刚发生了什么，那位修士脸上，顿时涌起无尽的绝望与恐惧。
After a moment of shock, the cultivator's face was filled with endless despair and fear as he realized what had just happened.
yīn wèi zài xuè sè shù tóng chū xiàn de shùn jiān ， cǐ chù fán rén shì jiè zhōng de suǒ yǒu shēng líng ， dōu bèi chà nà shā sǐ 。
因为在血色竖瞳出现的瞬间，此处凡人世界中的所有生灵，都被刹那杀死。
Because at the instant the vertical red pupil appeared, all living beings in this world were instantly killed and turned into beams of blood absorbed by the red pupil.
huà zuò xuè guāng ， bèi xuè sè tóng kǒng xī shōu 。
化作血光，被血色瞳孔吸收。
The cultivator's body trembled uncontrollably, an endless chill enveloping his heart.
xiū shì shēn qū chàn dǒu bù yǐ ， wú jìn de hán yì lǒng zhào le tā de nèi xīn 。
修士身躯颤抖不已，无尽的寒意笼罩了他的内心。
Though he had committed significant sins before, compared to instantly killing a whole world, it was incomparable.
suī rán tā yě céng jīng fàn xià bù xiǎo de zuì niè ， dàn gēn cǐ kè shùn shā yī jiè shēng líng de xíng jìng xiāng bǐ ， gēn běn bú shì yí gè céng jí de 。
虽然他也曾经犯下不小的罪孽，但跟此刻瞬杀一界生灵的行径相比，根本不是一个层级的。
"We've all been deceived... what compassionate true immortal..."
“ wǒ men quán dōu shàng dàng shòu piàn le ， shén me cí bēi zhēn xiān ……”
“我们全都上当受骗了，什么慈悲真仙……”
"This is clearly an immensely terrifying evil deity!"
“ zhè fēn míng shì yī zūn wú bǐ kǒng bù de xié shén ！”
“这分明是一尊无比恐怖的邪神！”
Thoughts of scenes from the past four years surged in his mind as indescribable fear consumed him. But at that moment, his last shred of conscience suddenly awakened him from despair.
sì nián lái de yí mù mù chǎng jǐng yǒng shàng xīn tóu ， nán yán de kǒng jù jiāng xiū shì zhú jiàn tūn mò 。
四年来的一幕幕场景涌上心头，难言的恐惧将修士逐渐吞没。
A burst of hope shone in the cultivator's eyes as he remembered something: "No, I can't let others suffer like me. I must warn them immediately..."
dàn cǐ kè ， xīn zhōng jǐn cún de liáng zhī hū de jiāng tā cóng jué wàng zhōng huàn xǐng 。
但此刻，心中仅存的良知忽的将他从绝望中唤醒。
Just as the cultivator was about to flee, he found that the blood-red vertical pupil in the sky had already locked onto him at some point.
xiū shì yǎn zhōng bào fā chū yī zhèn xī wàng de guāng máng ， tā hū de xiǎng qǐ le shén me ：“ bù xíng ， wǒ bù néng ràng qí tā rén gēn wǒ yī yàng ， chóng dǎo fù zhé 。 wǒ dé gǎn jǐn qù tōng zhī tā men ……”
修士眼中爆发出一阵希望的光芒，他忽的想起了什么：“不行，我不能让其他人跟我一样，重蹈覆辙。我得赶紧去通知他们……”
As the cultivator shivered with cold, thinking he would die under the blood-red giant eye, a clear breeze seemed to sweep through the heavens. A vague shadow then inexplicably appeared.
xiū shì zhèng yù láng bèi táo lí cǐ dì 。
修士正欲狼狈逃离此地。
It immediately attracted the attention of the blood-red vertical pupil in the sky.
què fā xiàn tiān shàng de xuè sè shù tóng ， bù zhī hé shí yǐ jīng suǒ dìng le zì jǐ 。
却发现天上的血色竖瞳，不知何时已经锁定了自己。
In the Xuanhuang Realm, Li Fan shook his head slightly.
ér zhèng dāng xiū shì hún shēn fā lěng ， yǐ wéi zì jǐ huì sǐ zài xuè sè jù yǎn zhī xià de shí hòu 。
而正当修士浑身发冷，以为自己会死在血色巨眼之下的时候。
"I never thought the Immortal-Demon Mist could take this form."
tiān dì jiān fǎng fú yī zhèn qīng fēng chuī guò ， ér hòu yī dào xū yǐng jìng rán mò míng yǎn huà chū xiàn 。
天地间仿佛一阵清风吹过，而后一道虚影竟然莫名衍化出现。
"No wonder the mortals in the Xuanhuang Realm agreed so quickly to migrate. They must have discovered this secret."
shà shí xī yǐn le tiān kōng zhōng xuè sè shù tóng de mù guāng 。
霎时吸引了天空中血色竖瞳的目光。
"Revenge is for the wrongdoer. I don't care who set up the array," Li Fan said with a cold smile.
ér yuǎn zài xuán huáng jiè de lǐ fán ， zé shì yǎn jīng wēi mī 。
而远在玄黄界的李凡，则是眼睛微眯。
"It also saves me from having to clean up myself."
tā duì nà xū yǐng bìng bù mò shēng 。
他对那虚影并不陌生。
The death of one villain did not draw attention from others.
“ bái xiān shēng ？”
“白先生？”
As more and more arrays were established and integrated into the spiritual network, Li Fan was getting closer to his final goal in this life.
“ zhè shì yí cì xìng miè shā le tài duō shēng líng ， dǎo zhì xiān fán zhàng zài duǎn shí jiān nèi měng rán bào fā ， yǐn fā le fǎn zhì ？”
“这是一次性灭杀了太多生灵，导致仙凡瘴在短时间内猛然爆发，引发了反制？”
Looking at countless consciousnesses within the array, even as the mastermind behind it, he still felt a chill in his heart and dared not stare for long.
xū yǐng yì lì yú tiān dì jiān ， suī rán kàn bù qīng qí miàn bù biǎo qíng ， dàn yě néng cóng tā de shēn shàng ， gǎn jué dào wú biān de fèn nù 。
虚影屹立于天地间，虽然看不清其面部表情，但也能从祂的身上，感觉到无边的愤怒。
"Infinite power of all beings is truly terrifying."
xū yǐng mù guāng sǎo guò zhè piàn tiān dì ， ér hòu suǒ dìng le cǐ jiān wéi yī de xìng cún zhě 。
虚影目光扫过这片天地，而后锁定了此间唯一的幸存者。
"Even if it were a true immortal, they would pale in comparison in this sea of beings."
yě jiù shì nà wèi bù zhèn de xiū shì shēn shàng 。
也就是那位布阵的修士身上。
Li Fan's heart, like a thousand-year-old ice, began to waver slightly.
xiū shì dùn shí chá jué zì jǐ wú fǎ dòng tán ， yī gǔ sǐ wáng wēi jī yǒng shàng xīn tóu 。 tā zhēng zhá zhuó xiǎng yào shuō xiē shén me 。
修士顿时察觉自己无法动弹，一股死亡危机涌上心头。他挣扎着想要说些什么。
But soon, his gaze became resolute again.
xū yǐng gēn běn bù tīng tā de jiě shì 。
虚影根本不听他的解释。
"All of this is necessary.
yī gǔ bō dòng chà nà kuà yuè qiān lǐ ， cóng xū yǐng jiàng lín zhì xiū shì zhī shēn 。
一股波动刹那跨越千里，从虚影降临至修士之身。
"The path to immortality is cut off. Even figures like the True Transmission Immortal and White Master are forever trapped here.
xiū shì shēn tǐ měng dì jiāng zhí 。
修士身体猛地僵直。
"Only by finding true liberation can everything be resolved."
ér hòu yī lǚ lǚ tóu fà yóu hēi biàn bái ， pí fū zhòu qǐ 、 yóu rú kū mù ……
而后一缕缕头发由黑变白，皮肤皱起、犹如枯木……
"Otherwise, even if I don't act, the Xuanhuang Realm will still face a destructive end."
bù guò zhǎ yǎn shí jiān ， xiū shì jiù cóng zhōng nián xíng xiàng ， biàn chéng le jí jiāng yóu jǐn dēng kū de lǎo zhě 。
不过眨眼时间，修士就从中年形象，变成了即将油尽灯枯的老者。
...
ér hòu ， chè dǐ huà zuò yī jù kū lóu 。
而后，彻底化作一具骷髅。
Li Fan's gaze became cold once more.
cóng kōng zhōng shuāi luò 。
从空中摔落。
Following his instructions, the construction of the myriad spirit array accelerated.
zuò wán zhè yī qiè de fù chóu zhī hòu ， bái xiān shēng xū yǐng kàn zhe zài wú rèn hé qí tā shēng líng cún zài de kòng bái shì jiè 。
做完这一切的复仇之后，白先生虚影看着再无任何其他生灵存在的空白世界。
Finally, this supreme array covering numerous mortal worlds was fully formed.
liǎn shàng fú xiàn chū yī sī yōu shāng 。
脸上浮现出一丝忧伤。
At that moment, five Paper Men from the Ferrying Away Sect appeared beside Li Fan.
bù shě de yòu zuì hòu kàn le yī yǎn ， ér hòu suí fēng sàn qù 。
不舍的又最后看了一眼，而后随风散去。
This time, they did not nag at him but instead all looked towards the sky in the Xuanhuang Realm.
……
……
"How strange. Just dozed off and suddenly the Xuanhuang Realm seems to be accelerating out of control?"
xuán huáng jiè zhōng ， lǐ fán wēi wēi yáo tóu 。
玄黄界中，李凡微微摇头。
"Could it be that the attraction of the Immortal Void has increased again?"
“ méi xiǎng dào xiān fán zhàng jū rán hái yǒu cǐ zhǒng xíng tài 。”
“没想到仙凡瘴居然还有此种形态。”
"No such strange things have happened for so many years. The changes are limited, we didn't notice immediately..."
“ nán guài dāng chū xuán huáng jiè xiū shì hěn kuài jiù tóng yì le fán rén qiān xǐ de tí yì ， xiǎng lái yě shì fā xiàn le zhè ge ào mì 。”
“难怪当初玄黄界修士很快就同意了凡人迁徙的提议，想来也是发现了这个奥秘。”
The five little figures chattered away, ignoring Li Fan.
“ yuān yǒu tóu ， zhài yǒu zhǔ 。 shuí qù bù zhèn de nǐ jiù qù zhǎo shuí ， gěi wǒ kě méi yǒu bàn diǎn guān xì 。” lǐ fán lěng xiào zhe dào 。
“冤有头，债有主。谁去布阵的你就去找谁，给我可没有半点关系。”李凡冷笑着道。
After careful observation, Li Fan realized they were not the ones who had occasionally advised him before but new characters with high status in the Ferrying Away Sect, overseeing the crisis in the Xuanhuang Realm.
“ hái zhèng hǎo shěng le wǒ dòng shǒu qīng lǐ de gōng fu 。”
“还正好省了我动手清理的功夫。”
Li Fan had no intention of communicating with them. Instead, he directly activated the array to forcibly send them back into the Book of Ferrying Away.
yī wèi xiōng tú de shì qù ， bìng méi yǒu yǐn qǐ qí tā xiōng tú de zhù yì 。
一位凶徒的逝去，并没有引起其他凶徒的注意。
"Hmm?"
suí zhe yī zuò yòu yī zuò dà zhèn de jiàn lì ， bìng jiā rù liàn shén wǎng luò zhī zhōng 。
随着一座又一座大阵的建立，并加入炼神网络之中。
This sudden movement quickly alerted the five little figures.
lǐ fán jù lí zhè yī shì zuì hòu de mù biāo yě yuè lái yuè jìn 。
李凡距离这一世最后的目标也越来越近。
They stared at Li Fan, their expressions slowly turning fearful.
tā kàn zhe liàn shén zhèn fǎ zhōng ， nán yǐ jì shù de zhòng shēng yì shí 。 jí biàn zuò wéi cǐ shì de mù hòu hēi shǒu ， zì xǔ dé dào hái zhēn zhī hòu ， yǒu zī gé mò shì shì jiān yī qiè 。
他看着炼神阵法中，难以计数的众生意识。即便作为此事的幕后黑手，自诩得到还真之后，有资格漠视世间一切。
"Originally you..."
dàn què yī jiù gǎn dào xīn zhōng fā máo ， bù gǎn zhǎng shí jiān zhí shì 。
但却依旧感到心中发毛，不敢长时间直视。
"Not good!"
“ wú jìn zhòng shēng zhī lì ， dàng zhēn kě bù kě wèi 。”
“无尽众生之力，当真可怖可畏。”
The Book of Ferrying Away trembled violently as pages turned without wind. It seemed a large number of paper men would soon pour out.
“ wǒ xiǎng jiù suàn shì zhēn xiān ， zài zhè zhòng shēng zhī hǎi zhōng ， yě yào àn rán shī sè ba 。”
“我想就算是真仙，在这众生之海中，也要黯然失色吧。”
But before they could achieve anything, under the constraint of invisible forces, those five little figures were forcibly pulled back into the Book of Ferrying Away.
lǐ fán nà wǎn rú wàn nián hán bīng de xīn líng ， jìng rán cǐ kè yǒu le wēi wēi de nà me yī sī dòng yáo 。
李凡那宛如万年寒冰的心灵，竟然此刻有了微微的那么一丝动摇。
The book slowly closed but continued to flutter and resist.
bù guò hěn kuài ， tā de yǎn shén jiù chóng xīn biàn dé jiān yì 。
不过很快，他的眼神就重新变得坚毅。
Li Fan's expression remained unchanged as he continuously reinforced the sealing array until the Book of Ferrying Away was completely silent.
“ suǒ yǒu de zhè yī qiè ， dōu shì bì yào de 。”
“所有的这一切，都是必要的。”
"Since you've chosen to be a coward, stay that way."
“ xiān lù duàn jué ， jiù suàn lián chuán fǎ 、 xuán tiān wáng 、 bái xiān shēng nà yàng de rén wù ， yě yǒng shēng yǒng shì bèi kùn yú cǐ 。”
“仙路断绝，就算连传法、玄天王、白先生那样的人物，也永生永世被困于此。”
"The Xuanhuang Realm doesn't need your salvation."
“ wéi yǒu zhǎo dào zhēn zhèng jiě tuō de fāng fǎ ， cái néng zuì zhōng jiě jué yī qiè 。”
“唯有找到真正解脱的方法，才能最终解决一切。”
Li Fan said indifferently, pressing the Book of Ferrying Away into the deepest part of the Five Elements Immortal Heaven.
“ fǒu zé jiù suàn wǒ bù dòng shǒu ， zuì zhōng zhěng gè xuán huáng jiè yíng lái de ， yě dōu shì huǐ miè jié jú 。”
“否则就算我不动手，最终整个玄黄界迎来的，也都是毁灭结局。”
The myriad spirit array and the myriad consciousness array were already complete.
……
……
With his final safety lock in place, Li Fan was about to activate his ultimate plan.
lǐ fán de mù guāng ， chóng xīn biàn dé lěng mò wú bǐ 。
李凡的目光，重新变得冷漠无比。
"After observing for a year, I've confirmed that True Transmission should not be in the Xuanhuang Realm."
zài tā de zhǐ shì xià ， wàn líng dà zhèn de jiàn zào sù dù ， zài dù jiā kuài 。
在他的指示下，万灵大阵的建造速度，再度加快。
"Just as before."
"天地万灵大阵，沟通诸天万界。怎么阵成之后会发生如此诡异的变化？一定是哪里搞错了。"
The unease in his heart surged as the cultivator prepared to shut down the array.
But...
It was already too late.
For some reason, the array began to operate on its own.
A blood-red giant eye slowly opened, revealing an eerie vertical pupil.
Boom!
The entire world of mortals trembled violently.
Countless beams of bloodlight rose from the ground, like columns of light converging into the blood-red giant eye in the sky.
After a moment of shock, the cultivator's face was filled with endless despair and fear as he realized what had just happened.
Because at the instant the vertical red pupil appeared, all living beings in this world were instantly killed and turned into beams of blood absorbed by the red pupil.
