xuán huáng miè shì biàn ， nǎi shì xuán huáng jiè zài gǎn yìng dào jí jiāng bèi huǐ miè de mìng yùn shí ， wèi le zì bǎo 、 zì rán ér rán shēng chū de gè zhǒng jí duān biàn huà 。
玄黄灭世变，乃是玄黄界在感应到即将被毁灭的命运时，为了自保、自然而然生出的各种极端变化。
The three men suddenly woke up from their nightmare, drenched in cold sweat. After a long while, they managed to regain their composure and came back to reality.
quán dōu shì jiāng mǒu yì fāng miàn yǎn huà dào jí zhì de cún zài 。
全都是将某一方面演化到极致的存在。
"Am I dead?" asked Wang Xuanba, his voice trembling with fear.
bǐ rú lǐ fán shàng yī shì yòng lái wěi zhuāng hé dào xiū shì de tiān dì rè jì ， wàn wù bīng fēng 】 zhī biàn 。 bù ruò yú xún cháng xuán huáng jiè zhōng de bīng xì tiān dì zhī pò ， shèn zhì bǐ jué dà duō shù de dōu yào gèng qiáng 。
比如李凡上一世用来伪装合道修士的天地热寂，万物冰封】之变。不弱于寻常玄黄界中的冰系天地之魄，甚至比绝大多数的都要更强。
"No, I'm still alive!" replied Wang Xuanba, his heart pounding as he tried to process what had just happened.
miè shì zhī biàn ， wǎng wǎng chōng mǎn gōng jī 、 pò huài xìng 。 yóu yú wǎng wǎng zhǐ yǒu zài xuán huáng jiè zāo shòu dào huǐ miè wēi jú de qíng kuàng xià cái huì dàn shēng ， gù ér dāng qí chū xiàn zài tiān dì jiān de shí hòu ， bì dìng huì yǐn qǐ xuán huáng tiān dào de yīng jī fǎn yìng 。 suǒ dǎo zhì de hòu guǒ jiù shì xuán huáng tiān dào huì duì miè shì zhī biàn de chí yǒu zhě ， běn néng chǎn shēng jiè bèi yǔ bù xìn rèn 。 jiù xiàng lǐ fán xiàn zài zhè bān 。
灭世之变，往往充满攻击、破坏性。由于往往只有在玄黄界遭受到毁灭危局的情况下才会诞生，故而当其出现在天地间的时候，必定会引起玄黄天道的应激反应。所导致的后果就是玄黄天道会对灭世之变的持有者，本能产生戒备与不信任。就像李凡现在这般。
Yan Zhen, who was deep in thought, finally calmed down. He looked around and said, "It seems like we are back in the Five Elders' Autumn Stream State within the Joyful Land."
ér xī shōu le zì shēn fèn lí è niàn de xuán huáng tiān dào ， fā shēng de què shì lèi sì yú xiān lì guàn zhù 、 quán miàn fù sū de biàn huà 。 zhǐ bù guò biàn huà jù tǐ biǎo xiàn zài xuán huáng jiè fǎ zé jī shí zhī shàng 。
而吸收了自身分离恶念的玄黄天道，发生的却是类似于仙力灌注、全面复苏的变化。只不过变化具体表现在玄黄界法则基石之上。
"However..." Yan Zhen raised his head and gazed at the sky. "The entire universe appears to be slightly darker." He was uncertain about this observation.
nì lǐ cháng shēng de biàn huà zàn qiě bù tí 。 xuán huáng jiè de zhǒng zhǒng zhēn duì xiū shì de xiàn zhì ， yě dōu suí zhe xuán huáng jiè nèi zài de fù sū ér biàn dé gèng jiā yán kē qǐ lái 。
逆理长生的变化暂且不提。玄黄界的种种针对修士的限制，也都随着玄黄界内在的复苏而变得更加严苛起来。
"It's not a hallucination. The world we're in indeed seems to have turned dark," agreed Wang Xuanba, his eyes scanning their surroundings.
tiān zhī è de píng jǐng ， fǎ bù kě tóng xiū ， yǔn luò hòu tiān mù xiǎn xiàn de yì zhuàng 。
天之厄的瓶颈，法不可同修，陨落后天幕显现的异状。
"But our cultivation levels haven't changed..." Yan Zhen paused and then exclaimed, "What is this?!"
zhè xiē gēn xiū shì xiū xíng xī xī xiāng guān de fǎ zé ， zhèng zài qiāo wú shēng xī de xùn sù biàn huà 。
这些跟修士修行息息相关的法则，正在悄无声息的迅速变化。
The tone of his voice had risen several octaves as he discovered something new.
xiū shì jiāng huì gèng nán tū pò ； yǔn luò hòu tiān kōng zhōng yì xiàng jiāng huì jì lù gèng duō xiū shì shēng qián xìn xī ； bù tóng fǎ de píng pàn biāo zhǔn yě jiāng huì biàn dé gèng jiā yán gé ， shì jiān de gōng fǎ zǒng shù ， jiāng huì mò míng bèi xuē jiǎn yī bù fèn 。
修士将会更难突破；陨落后天空中异象将会记录更多修士生前信息；不同法的评判标准也将会变得更加严格，世间的功法总数，将会莫名被削减一部分。
"Second Brother Liu Erlang, Golden Core Completion, Death Count: 1."
chú cǐ zhī wài ， lǐ fán hái yǐn yǐn chá jué dào ， xuán huáng tiān dì xī shōu zhuǎn huà xiū shì yǔn luò hòu guī huán dào jī ， yǐ jí shì jiè cán piàn de xiào lǜ ， zhèng suí zhe tā nèi zài de zēng qiáng ér màn màn biàn gāo 。
除此之外，李凡还隐隐察觉到，玄黄天地吸收转化修士陨落后归还道基，以及世界残片的效率，正随着祂内在的增强而慢慢变高。
"Joyful Land Experience Level: 1."
tiān dì jiān yǐn yǐn xiǎng qǐ le wǎn ruò xiāo huà de wēi míng shēng ， nán yǐ bèi xún cháng xiū shì suǒ chá jué 。
天地间隐隐响起了宛若消化的微鸣声，难以被寻常修士所察觉。
"Unhappy Coins: 100."
zài xuán huáng jiè ， xiū shì tūn tiān shí dì xiū xíng 。 xuán huáng tiān dì shí lì měng rán péng zhàng ， yě bì jiāng dài dòng qí nèi xiū shì shí lì tū fēi měng jìn 。
在玄黄界，修士吞天食地修行。玄黄天地实力猛然膨胀，也必将带动其内修士实力突飞猛进。
Wang Xuanba read out the mysterious text that appeared before him, his expression filled with shock and disbelief.
zhù jī zhàn jīn dān ， jīn dān shèng yuán yīng 。 zài bù jiǔ de jiāng lái ， huò xǔ huì shì yī zhǒng cháng tài 。
筑基战金丹，金丹胜元婴。在不久的将来，或许会是一种常态。
"I also have some," Wang Xuanba said loudly, realizing something as well.
ér nà xiē xiān xíng xiū shì xiǎng yào bǎi tuō zhè jiǒng pò jìng dì ， yào me huà gōng chóng xiū 。 yào me xiǎng bàn fǎ jǐn kuài tū pò dà jìng jiè 。
而那些先行修士想要摆脱这窘迫境地，要么化功重修。要么想办法尽快突破大境界。
"But wait, this is wrong! Why do I have zero Unhappy Coins?" he asked in confusion.
fǒu zé zhè xiē méi yǒu gēn suí xuán huáng tiān dì gòng tóng 「 chéng zhǎng 」 de xiū shì ， hěn kuài jiāng huì lún wéi shí dài de táo tài zhě 。
否则这些没有跟随玄黄天地共同「成长」的修士，很快将会沦为时代的淘汰者。
"Where did your 100 come from?" Wang Xuanba questioned, completely puzzled by the situation.
……
……
The three men were left to ponder over these strange occurrences and their implications. The nightmare had left them shaken but also intrigued about what lay ahead in this Joyful Land.
jiāng xuán huáng jiè zhōng de tiān dì jù biàn quán dōu kàn zài yǎn lǐ ， lǐ fán zhǐ shì rèn zhēn guān mó 、 bìng méi yǒu dòng shǒu chōu qǔ 。 suī shuō xuán huáng jiè de chéng zhǎng qiáng dù hái yuǎn méi yǒu dá dào lǐ fán de yāo qiú ， dàn què yǐ jīng zú yǐ gěi lǐ fán qǐ fā 。
将玄黄界中的天地剧变全都看在眼里，李凡只是认真观摩、并没有动手抽取。虽说玄黄界的成长强度还远没有达到李凡的要求，但却已经足以给李凡启发。
