Truly Real's prompt appeared before Li Fan, but he was not in the mood to make a decision at the moment. Instead, he felt the strange changes happening within him.
4. fàng qì yǐ shàng xuǎn zé ， jiā kuài chōng néng jìn dù 。】
4.放弃以上选择，加快充能进度。】
Just as he had experienced with the Xuanhuang Realm’s spiritual force even after Truly Real, Li Fan found that he could not completely rid himself of the True Immortal's power with just one session of Truly Real.
……
……
"The side effect from the Xuanhuang Realm is an insatiable hunger to devour everything around it. And this True Immortal without a face..."
hái zhēn de tí shì zài lǐ fán “ yǎn qián ” fú xiàn ， dàn xiàn zài tā què wú xīn qù zuò chū xuǎn zé 。
还真的提示在李凡“眼前”浮现，但现在他却无心去做出选择。
Li Fan carefully felt his face, as if it was covered by a layer that obscured all his features except for touch. Although his divine consciousness helped him perceive things normally, he still felt a chill in his heart.
ér shì gǎn shòu zhe zì jǐ shēn shàng fā shēng de yì biàn 。
而是感受着自己身上发生的异变。
"Not only has my appearance vanished, but..."
jiù xiàng zhī qián jiē chù dào xiān xū xiān lì ， jí biàn hái zhēn zhī hòu yī rán gǎn shòu dào wú bǐ de jī è yī yàng 。
就像之前接触到仙墟仙力，即便还真之后依然感受到无比的饥饿一样。
Using his divine consciousness to look at his body, Li Fan noticed an intermittent transparency, like that of a ghostly figure.
zhè yī cì ， zài wú miàn zhēn xiān de cuǐ càn xiān lì zhào yào xià láng bèi hái zhēn de lǐ fán ， yě shì méi néng zhǐ tōng guò yī cì hái zhēn 、 jiù wán quán bǎi tuō zhēn xiān lì liàng de qīn shí 。
这一次，在无面真仙的璀璨仙力照耀下狼狈还真的李凡，也是没能只通过一次还真、就完全摆脱真仙力量的侵蚀。
"My existence is also fading away."
“ xiān xū xiān rén dài lái de fù zuò yòng shì xiǎng yào tūn shì shēn biān yī qiè de jī è gǎn 。 ér wú miàn zhēn xiān ……”
“仙墟仙人带来的副作用是想要吞噬身边一切的饥饿感。而无面真仙……”
Just returned from the anchor point for one year, Truly Real was still in its recharging phase. If he died now, it would be irreversible. Facing such a dire situation, Li Fan did not panic but instead thought quickly and calmly.
lǐ fán zǐ xì zài zì jǐ de liǎn páng shàng mō suǒ zhe 。
李凡仔细在自己的脸庞上摸索着。
Through multiple sessions of Truly Real, Li Fan had learned that the effects of this True Immortal's influence could also be mitigated by repeated sessions.
jiù xiàng méng shàng le yī céng pí ， bǎ wǔ guān quán dōu zhē bì 。
就像蒙上了一层皮，把五官全都遮蔽。
This was not because the power of Truly Real was becoming insufficient to face True Immortals. Rather, it was due to his own weakness.
zhǐ yǒu chù jué cán cún 。
只有触觉残存。
But several critical issues stood before him now:
suī rán yǒu shén shí fǔ zhù gǎn zhī ， bù yǐng xiǎng zhèng cháng xíng dòng shēng huó 。
虽然有神识辅助感知，不影响正常行动生活。
"One, Truly Real requires recharging. If I don't do something soon, I might not last long enough."
dàn shì yī jiù ràng lǐ fán gǎn dào xīn zhōng wēi wēi fā hán 。
但是依旧让李凡感到心中微微发寒。
"Two, under the influence of this True Immortal's brilliant spiritual force, my appearance has changed. Compared to when I was a True Immortal envoy in the previous life, His impact on me is even deeper. This means..."
“ bù jǐn jǐn shì miàn páng xiāo shī le ， ér qiě ……”
“不仅仅是面庞消失了，而且……”
"I have already fallen into the True Immortal's web from the start of this world. Based on my last experience in the previous life, even if I triggered the Xuanhuang myriad changes, it might not catch the attention of this True Immortal. But once I activate Truly Real, He will definitely be drawn to me."
lǐ fán tōng guò shén shí “ kàn ” xiàng zì jǐ de shēn qū 。
李凡通过神识“看”向自己的身躯。
...
jìng rán shí bù shí chéng xiàn chū yī gǔ ruò yǐn ruò xiàn de tòu míng gǎn ， jiù xiàng shì yōu hún yì bān 。
竟然时不时呈现出一股若隐若现的透明感，就像是幽魂一般。
Li Fan left the wooden house atop the mountain and stepped out into the endless cloud sea.
“ wǒ de 【 cún zài 】， yě tóng yàng zhèng zài xiāo shī 。”
“我的【存在】，也同样正在消失。”
As he watched the rising sun in the distance, Li Fan did not feel any warmth from its rays. Instead, a chill crept into his heart uncontrollably.
gāng gāng huí dào máo dìng 1 nián ， hái zhēn hái zài chōng néng zhī zhōng 。 rú guǒ xiàn zài sǐ le ， nà jiù shì zhēn de sǐ le 、 zài méi yǒu zhòng lái de jī huì le 。
刚刚回到锚定1年，还真还在充能之中。如果现在死了，那就是真的死了、再没有重来的机会了。
Sitting by the cliff's edge, Li Fan thought deeply while seemingly waiting for something.
miàn duì rú cǐ jué jìng ， lǐ fán què bìng méi yǒu fāng cùn dà luàn 。
面对如此绝境，李凡却并没有方寸大乱。
It was noon before anything unexpected happened, and the Great Xuan Separation Mountain remained calm as ever.
ér shì shí fēn lěng jìng de jí sù sī suǒ zhe 。
而是十分冷静的极速思索着。
Li Fan exhaled in relief, feeling like he had narrowly escaped disaster.
zhī qián tōng guò shù cì hái zhēn 、 chè dǐ jiāng xiān xū xiān lì dài lái de yǐng xiǎng dàn huà de jīng lì ， ràng lǐ fán míng bái ， zhè cì wú miàn zhēn xiān shī jiā zài zì jǐ shēn shàng de yǐng xiǎng ， yīng gāi tóng yàng néng tōng guò duō cì de hái zhēn huà jiě 。
之前通过数次还真、彻底将仙墟仙力带来的影响淡化的经历，让李凡明白，这次无面真仙施加在自己身上的影响，应该同样能通过多次的还真化解。
"The True Immortal without a face did not come."
zhè bìng fēi shuō míng miàn duì zhēn xiān ，【 hái zhēn 】 de néng lì yǐ jīng kāi shǐ zhú jiàn zhuō jīn jiàn zhǒu 。 ér shì lǐ fán běn shēn tài guò ruò xiǎo 。
这并非说明面对真仙，【还真】的能力已经开始逐渐捉襟见肘。而是李凡本身太过弱小。
Standing up, he brushed off the dust on his clothes. Feeling his body becoming more ethereal, Li Fan ignored the still flashing prompt of Truly Real and continued to think.
dàn xiàn zài yǒu jǐ gè guān jiàn wèn tí bǎi zài lǐ fán miàn qián 。
但现在有几个关键问题摆在李凡面前。
"Truly Real's essence—what is it?"
“ yī ， hái zhēn xū yào chōng néng 。 ér zài cǐ zhī qián ， rú guǒ bù zuò diǎn shén me de huà ， wǒ kǒng pà chēng bú dào nà me jiǔ 。”
“一，还真需要充能。而在此之前，如果不做点什么的话，我恐怕撑不到那么久。”
"True becomes false when false becomes true."
“ èr ， wú miàn zhēn xiān cuǐ càn xiān lì yǐng xiǎng xià ， wǒ biàn chéng le zhè fù mú yàng 。 bǐ qǐ shàng yī shì shēn wèi zhēn xiān shǐ zhě de shí hòu ， xiàn zài tā duì wǒ de yǐng xiǎng fǎn ér gēng shēn 。 yě jiù shì shuō ……”
“二，无面真仙璀璨仙力影响下，我变成了这副模样。比起上一世身为真仙使者的时候，现在祂对我的影响反而更深。也就是说……”
"For an insect that suddenly appeared in the True Immortal’s web without any warning, this True Immortal chose not to interfere. Either He cannot perceive the specific circumstances within the Xuanhuang Realm, or..."
“ cǐ shì yī kāi jú ， wǒ jiù yǐ jīng zhuì rù zhēn xiān zhī wǎng zhōng 。 gēn jù shàng yī shì zuì hòu de jīng lì lái kàn ， nǎ pà wǒ yǐn dòng xuán huáng wàn qiān jiāng shēng biàn ， yě bù yí dìng huì yǐn qǐ wú miàn zhēn xiān de zhù yì 。 dàn wǒ yí dàn fā dòng hái zhēn ， jiù shì bì huì jiāng tā xī yǐn lái 。”
“此世一开局，我就已经坠入真仙之网中。根据上一世最后的经历来看，哪怕我引动玄黄万千将生变，也不一定会引起无面真仙的注意。但我一旦发动还真，就势必会将祂吸引来。”
"Before this world existed, time began flowing and everything gained meaning upon my return. From my perspective, it was because of the sudden appearance in the True Immortal’s web due to the cause-and-effect from the previous life. But for that True Immortal without a face, I always existed within His web, so there was no abnormality. This is why He did not descend."
……
……
Countless thoughts swirled in Li Fan's mind.
lǐ fán zǒu chū shān diān mù wū ， lái dào wú biān yún hǎi zhī wài 。
李凡走出山巅木屋，来到无边云海之外。
"If time were reversed, this True Immortal at this point in time should be able to keenly perceive the changes happening to Him. For a True Immortal, something beyond His control must not be overlooked; He would follow the trail and come knocking."
kàn zhe tiān biān hóng rì shēng qǐ ， yáng guāng zhào shè xià ， lǐ fán què méi yǒu gǎn dào sī háo de wēn nuǎn 。
看着天边红日升起，阳光照射下，李凡却没有感到丝毫的温暖。
"But none of that happened."
fǎn ér xīn zhōng wú fǎ kòng zhì de fú xiàn sī sī liáng yì 。
反而心中无法控制的浮现丝丝凉意。
Li Fan repeated those seven words each time Truly Real appeared.
lǐ fán jìng zuò zài xuán yá biān ， rèn zhēn sī kǎo zhe 。
李凡静坐在悬崖边，认真思考着。
"True becomes false when false becomes true."
tóng shí yòu sì hū zài děng dài zhe shén me 。
同时又似乎在等待着什么。
"With such a divine object by my side, I should not have ended up in this state. It's hard to explain." Li Fan shook his head self-mockingly.
zhí zhì rì shàng zhōng tiān ， zú zú xiǎo bàn tiān shí jiān guò qù ， dà xuán jiě lí shān yī jiù fēng píng làng jìng 。
直至日上中天，足足小半天时间过去，大玄解离山依旧风平浪静。
In the end, he had underestimated the power of True Immortals.
méi yǒu shén me yì wài fā shēng 。
没有什么意外发生。
He did not expect that even after activating Truly Real, the brilliant spiritual force could still trace back to him.
lǐ fán zhè cái zhǎng shū yì kǒu qì ， táo guò yī jié de gǎn jué yǒng shàng xīn tóu 。
李凡这才长舒一口气，逃过一劫的感觉涌上心头。
Moreover, it seemed that the more powerful a being was, the more sensitive they were to the power of Truly Real. The sudden burst from the True Immortal without a face, which suppressed Xuanhuang Realm's spiritual force and rushed over, clearly knew something about Truly Real.
“ wú miàn zhēn xiān méi yǒu lái 。”
“无面真仙没有来。”
"The manifestation of Truly Real is related to my strength. Before I advance to the Longevity Realm, it would be better not to provoke them."
qǐ shēn ， pāi le pāi shēn shàng huī chén 。
起身，拍了拍身上灰尘。
Li Fan thought.
gǎn jué zhe biàn dé yù fā yǒu xiē xū wú de shēn tǐ ， lǐ fán kàn zhe “ yǎn qián ” guāng mù shàng yī jiù zài bù duàn shǎn shuò de hái zhēn tí shì 。
感觉着变得愈发有些虚无的身体，李凡看着“眼前”光幕上依旧在不断闪烁的还真提示。
After making a summary of his guesses regarding True Immortals and Truly Real, Li Fan finally began pondering how to solve his current predicament.
yī jiù méi yǒu zuò chū rèn hé xuǎn zé ， ér shì jiāng qí zàn qiě hū lüè 。
依旧没有做出任何选择，而是将其暂且忽略。
"I am currently at the third anchor point. As an extraordinary item for foundation building, with late-stage foundation realm cultivation. If I choose to inherit my previous life's cultivation, it would instantly transform me from a foundation stage insect to a transformation realm insect."
huí dào shān diān mù wū ， tǎng zài chuáng shàng ， chén sī dào 。
回到山巅木屋，躺在床上，沉思道。
"But I am currently within the True Immortal’s web. Not drawing His attention now is because my strength is negligible. But if a foundation stage ant suddenly becomes a transformation stage ant, He might notice..."
“ hái zhēn de běn zhì shì shén me ？”
“还真的本质是什么？”
"So the solution to this world's crisis is clear: retreat into theShadow Realm, activate Truly Real at the moment of inheriting previous life's cultivation, and use Truly Real to wash away His imprint on me. Repeat this process."
“ zhēn zuò jiǎ shí jiǎ yì zhēn 。”
“真作假时假亦真。”
"But before that..."
“ duì yú wǒ zhè zhǐ háo wú zhēng zhào 、 tū rán chū xiàn zài zhēn xiān zhī wǎng zhōng de chóng zi ， wú miàn zhēn xiān què xuǎn zé bù wén bù wèn 。 yào me shuō míng ， tā bìng bù néng chá jué dào xuán huáng jiè xiǎo shì jiè zhōng de jù tǐ qíng xíng 。 yào me ……”
“对于我这只毫无征兆、突然出现在真仙之网中的虫子，无面真仙却选择不闻不问。要么说明，祂并不能察觉到玄黄界小世界中的具体情形。要么……”
Li Fan reached out to pick up a teacup from the wooden house.
“ zài cǐ zhī qián ， shì jiè bìng bù cún zài 。 wǒ huí guī de chà nà ， shí jiān kāi shǐ liú dòng 、 yī qiè cái zhēn zhèng yǒu le yì yì 。 cóng wǒ de jiǎo dù lái kàn ， shì yīn wèi shàng yī shì de yīn guǒ 、 tū rán chū xiàn zài zhēn xiān zhī wǎng zhōng 。 dàn duì yú nà wèi wú miàn zhēn xiān lái jiǎng ， wǒ běn jiù cún zài yú zhēn xiān zhī wǎng shàng 。 suǒ yǐ yě jiù wú suǒ wèi yì cháng le 。 zhè yě shì tā méi yǒu jiàng lín de yuán yīn 。”
“在此之前，世界并不存在。我回归的刹那，时间开始流动、一切才真正有了意义。从我的角度来看，是因为上一世的因果、突然出现在真仙之网中。但对于那位无面真仙来讲，我本就存在于真仙之网上。所以也就无所谓异常了。这也是祂没有降临的原因。”
Initially, there was no problem, but as his body became more transparent, the teacup slipped from his hand and fell to the ground.
wú shù sī xù zài lǐ fán nǎo hǎi zhōng fān téng 。
无数思绪在李凡脑海中翻腾。
"Is this the power of the True Immortal without a face? My existence is being deprived..."
“ rú guǒ shì shí jiān dào liú de huà ， nà me xiàn zài zhè ge shí jiān jié diǎn shàng de wú miàn zhēn xiān ， yīng gāi jiù néng mǐn ruì chá jué dào fā shēng zài zì jǐ shēn shàng de biàn huà 。 duì yú zhēn xiān ér yán ， jū rán huì fā shēng chāo tuō zì jǐ zhǎng kòng zhī wài de shì qíng ， tā yí dìng bú huì fàng guò zhè yì biàn 、 shùn zhe mài luò ， zhǎo shàng mén lái 。”
“如果是时间倒流的话，那么现在这个时间节点上的无面真仙，应该就能敏锐察觉到发生在自己身上的变化。对于真仙而言，居然会发生超脱自己掌控之外的事情，祂一定不会放过这异变、顺着脉络，找上门来。”
Before Truly Real could complete its recharge, Li Fan needed to find a way to stabilize his existence. Otherwise, everything would be in vain.
“ dàn zhè yī qiè bìng méi yǒu fā shēng 。”
“但这一切并没有发生。”
Given his current condition, time was running out for Li Fan.
lǐ fán zài xīn zhōng zài dù chóng fù le biàn měi cì bàn suí zhe 【 hái zhēn 】 chū xiàn de nà qī gè zì 。
李凡在心中再度重复了遍每次伴随着【还真】出现的那七个字。

【The simulation has ended for this session.】
You can choose one of the following options to retain:
1. An item you possessed during this simulation.
2. Your cultivation realm from this simulation.

4. Abandon all choices and accelerate your energy recharge.
...
Truly Real's prompt appeared before Li Fan, but he was not in the mood to make a decision at the moment. Instead, he felt the strange changes happening within him.
Just as he had experienced with the Xuanhuang Realm’s spiritual force even after Truly Real, Li Fan found that he could not completely rid himself of the True Immortal's power with just one session of Truly Real.
