“ jūn zǐ bù lì yú wēi qiáng zhī xià ， jiāng mìng mài xiān zhōu shí kè bào lù zài dí rén jiān shì zhōng ， jué fēi míng zhì zhī jǔ ！”
“君子不立于危墙之下，将命脉仙舟时刻暴露在敌人监视中，绝非明智之举！”
"Master of the Void," upon returning to the Starry Void, Feng Yan asked, "How is everything going with the preparations for crossing the wall?"
“ bù cuò ， zhè huī sè qí zi suī rán shì zhēn xiān zào wù ， què yě bìng bù zhí dé wǒ men mào rú cǐ dà fēng xiǎn 。”
“不错，这灰色棋子虽然是真仙造物，却也并不值得我们冒如此大风险。”
"The preparations are proceeding smoothly. We have already secured a sufficient number of volunteers and are ready to start the ritual at any time." replied Master of the Void.
“ hú tú ！ zhè yī tào qí zi ， kěn dìng yǐn cáng zhe dà mì mì 。 lì yì cóng lái dōu shì gēn wēi jī bìng cún de ， zěn me néng rú cǐ qīng yì fàng qì ！”
“糊涂！这一套棋子，肯定隐藏着大秘密。利益从来都是跟危机并存的，怎么能如此轻易放弃！”
Feng Yan nodded, then said, "I will be leaving soon to return to the mortal world. I need to make some arrangements there."
“ dí què ， jiù zhè me qì zhì yě zhe shí tài kě xī le 。 wǒ dào yǒu yī jì ， jì rán nà wèi zhī zhī dí néng gòu zhuī zōng huī sè qí zi wèi zhì ， bù rú wǒ men jiāng jì jiù jì 。 pài yī wèi zhǎng lǎo ， xié dài huī sè qí zi 、 dān dú zài xū kōng zhōng pái huái ， wǒ men zé mái fú zuǒ yòu 。 děng dài duì fāng shàng gōu zhī hòu ， zài jiāng tā men yī wǎng dǎ jìn ？”
“的确，就这么弃置也着实太可惜了。我倒有一计，既然那未知之敌能够追踪灰色棋子位置，不如我们将计就计。派一位长老，携带灰色棋子、单独在虚空中徘徊，我们则埋伏左右。等待对方上钩之后，再将他们一网打尽？”
"Very well. I will ensure that everything is in order for your departure," replied Master of the Void.
“ kě bié bǎ duì fāng xiǎng de tài jiǎn dān le ！ gān zhǎng lǎo yòu rú hé què dìng ， wǒ men suǒ wèi de mái fú ， bú huì xiàn rù duì fāng gèng dà de bāo wéi quān zhōng ？！”
“可别把对方想的太简单了！甘长老又如何确定，我们所谓的埋伏，不会陷入对方更大的包围圈中？！”
The next day, Feng Yan left the Starry Void and arrived at the meeting place where he had agreed with Master of the Void. He found a small stone pavilion under a large tree, surrounded by the tranquil atmosphere of the forest.
……
……
"Master of the Void, I have returned as promised," greeted Feng Yan when he saw him.
yī zhòng zhǎng lǎo zhēng lùn de shí fēn jī liè ， xiān míng de fēn chéng le liǎng pài 、 shuí yě wú fǎ shuō fú shuí 。
一众长老争论的十分激烈，鲜明的分成了两派、谁也无法说服谁。
"Ah, you've come just in time. Let's discuss your plans for the mortal world," replied Master of the Void with a smile.
zài xiān zhōu guò wǎng lì shǐ zhōng ， chū xiàn lèi sì de qíng kuàng shí ， zuì hòu dōu shì yóu shǒu xí zhǎng lǎo pāi àn jué dìng 。 wú lùn zhī qián shì chí shén me tài dù ， zhǐ yào fāng zhēn dìng xià ， nà me xiān zhōu shàng xià bì xū wú tiáo jiàn zhī chí 、 shī xíng 。
在仙舟过往历史中，出现类似的情况时，最后都是由首席长老拍案决定。无论之前是持什么态度，只要方针定下，那么仙舟上下必须无条件支持、施行。
Feng Yan explained his plan to Master of the Void, detailing how he would use the Great启 civilization to carry out the ritual and ensure that it was not detected by the Starry Void.
zhè yě shì wèi le fáng zhǐ xiān zhōu zài cì fā shēng fēn liè 。
这也是为了防止仙舟再次发生分裂。
"Your plan is well thought out. However, I must remind you that we need to be cautious. The consequences of this ritual could have unforeseen repercussions," warned Master of the Void.
bù guò zhè yī cì ， xiàng lái yǐ guǒ jué zhù chēng de zhōng dào gōng ， què shì shí fēn hǎn jiàn de yóu yù le 。
不过这一次，向来以果决著称的钟道恭，却是十分罕见的犹豫了。
"I understand your concerns, but I believe my plan will minimize any risks. We can use the Great启 civilization as a buffer and ensure that no one from the Starry Void is directly involved in the ritual," replied Feng Yan confidently.
tā sì hū shì zài sī kǎo zhe shén me ， shì xiàn sǎo guò zài chǎng zhòng rén ， zuì hòu luò zài lǐ fán shēn shàng 。
他似乎是在思考着什么，视线扫过在场众人，最后落在李凡身上。
"Very well. However, you must be careful to avoid any mistakes or oversights. The consequences of this ritual could affect not only the mortal world but also the entire Starry Void," said Master of the Void seriously.
“ zhū wèi ， zài huí qù shèn zhòng kǎo lǜ xià 。 wǒ men míng rì zài yì 。”
“诸位，再回去慎重考虑下。我们明日再议。”
Feng Yan nodded and then asked, "Do you have any additional instructions for me before I leave?"
sàn chǎng zhī jì ， lǐ fán què bèi zhōng dào gōng dān dú liú le xià lái 。
散场之际，李凡却被钟道恭单独留了下来。
"Only one thing. Make sure that your actions do not compromise our plans or put anyone in unnecessary danger. We need to ensure that this ritual is a success," replied Master of the Void.
“ zěn me ， zhōng zhǎng lǎo hái yào duì wǒ jìn xíng dān dú shěn xùn ？” lǐ fán yǔ qì lüè dài xiē jī fěng dào 。
“怎么，钟长老还要对我进行单独审讯？”李凡语气略带些讥讽道。
"Understood. I will proceed with caution and make sure everything goes according to plan," replied Feng Yan, his determination unwavering.
zhōng dào gōng shěn rán yī xiào ， bìng méi yǒu zài yì ：“ dào yǒu mò yào wù huì ， jiāng nǐ liú xià 、 qí shí shì yǒu yī jiàn shì xiāng tuō 。”
钟道恭哂然一笑，并没有在意：“道友莫要误会，将你留下、其实是有一件事相托。”
With their discussion concluded, Feng Yan bid farewell to Master of the Void and left for the mortal world. He arrived at the Great启 civilization and began preparing for the ritual, ensuring that it would not be detected by the Starry Void.
lǐ fán sǒng le sǒng méi máo ， shōu liǎn le yī xiē ：“ zhōng zhǎng lǎo dàn shuō wú fáng 。”
李凡耸了耸眉毛，收敛了一些：“钟长老但说无妨。”
After several days of preparation, Feng Yan completed the ritual and returned to the Starry Void. Master of the Void was waiting for him with a smile on his face.
“ wǒ tīng wén ， bèi sǐ qì fēng bào xí jī hòu ， dào yǒu jiù zhǐ shèng xià le shí nián shòu mìng ？” zhōng dào gōng méi yǒu zhí jiē míng shuō ， ér shì xiān wèn le gè kàn shì bù xiāng guān de huà tí 。
“我听闻，被死气风暴袭击后，道友就只剩下了十年寿命？”钟道恭没有直接明说，而是先问了个看似不相关的话题。
"Your preparations have been successful," said Master of the Void. "The ritual has been carried out without any issues."
“ bù cuò ， shí nián zhǐ shì wǒ de yù gū ， shí jì …… zhǐ shǎo bù duō 。”
“不错，十年只是我的预估，实际……只少不多。”
Feng Yan nodded in response, feeling relieved that everything had gone according to plan.
“ bù guò ， duì wǒ ér yán ， èr shí nián 、 hái shì shí nián ， yě bú zhòng yào le 。 wǒ gèng guān xīn de shì ， zài sǐ zhī qián ， shì fǒu néng kàn dào gāo qiáng wài de jǐng sè 。” lǐ fán lěng hēng le yī shēng 。
“不过，对我而言，二十年、还是十年，也不重要了。我更关心的是，在死之前，是否能看到高墙外的景色。”李凡冷哼了一声。
The next day, Feng Yan returned to the Starry Void and met with Master of the Void again. He was informed that the ritual had been a success and that the Starry Void would soon cross the wall.
zhōng dào gōng wēi wēi gǒng shǒu ：“ wǒ yù zhǔ tuō dào yǒu zhī shì ， zhèng gēn héng kuà gāo qiáng yǒu guān 。 jīn rì yì huì jǔ bàn qián ， nán gōng zhǎng lǎo sān rén 、 sī xià lǐ zhǎo dào le wǒ 。”
钟道恭微微拱手：“我欲嘱托道友之事，正跟横跨高墙有关。今日议会举办前，南宫长老三人、私下里找到了我。”
"Excellent news," said Feng Yan with a smile. "I am glad everything went as planned."
lǐ fán wén yán ， mù guāng shà shí yī níng 。
李凡闻言，目光霎时一凝。
Master of the Void nodded, then said, "However, there is one more thing I need to discuss with you. The next step in our plan involves using the Great启 civilization again."
zhōng dào gōng jiē zhe shuō dào ：“ dào yǒu kě zhī ， wǒ men xiān zhōu yuè guò gāo qiáng de yī zhàng ， jiū jìng shì shén me ？”
钟道恭接着说道：“道友可知，我们仙舟越过高墙的依仗，究竟是什么？”
Feng Yan's expression turned serious. "What do you need from me this time?"
“ chú le zhī qián ， wǒ men lǐng dào yǒu kàn de nà cán jiè cháng chéng 【 gāo chù 】 yǐ wài 。 bì jìng ， dào yǒu dāng rì yě kàn dào le 。 bǐ chù suī néng fǔ kàn xīng hǎi ， què lí gāo qiáng zhī diān ， hái yǒu mù bù kě jiàn de jù lí 。”
“除了之前，我们领道友看的那残界长城【高处】以外。毕竟，道友当日也看到了。彼处虽能俯瞰星海，却离高墙之巅，还有目不可见的距离。”
"We need your assistance once more," replied Master of the Void. "We require a specific location for the ritual, and we believe that the Great启 civilization can provide us with the necessary resources."
“ xiān zhōu duì wǒ jiě shì jì huà de shuō cí ， yì zhí dōu shì shōu jí jǐn kě néng duō de zhēn xiān zhuàn zì zhī lì 、 ér hòu yǐn bào ， jiè cǐ hàn dòng 、 yú yuè gāo qiáng ……” lǐ fán mī zhuó yǎn jīng 。
“仙舟对我解释计划的说辞，一直都是收集尽可能多的真仙篆字之力、而后引爆，借此撼动、鱼跃高墙……”李凡眯着眼睛。
"Understood. I will assist in finding the appropriate location," replied Feng Yan.
“ cǐ yán dí què bù jiǎ 。 bù guò dào yǒu yǒu méi yǒu xiǎng guò ， ruò bù cún zài yí dìng de yuē shù 、 wǒ men yòu rú hé què dìng ， xiān zhōu néng zài bào dòng de zhēn xiān cán lì fēng bào zhōng ān rán wú yàng ne ？” zhōng dào gōng miàn lù xiào róng 。
“此言的确不假。不过道友有没有想过，若不存在一定的约束、我们又如何确定，仙舟能在暴动的真仙残力风暴中安然无恙呢？”钟道恭面露笑容。
Over the next few days, Feng Yan worked closely with the Great启 civilization to find an ideal location for the ritual. He carefully selected a small world within their territory and prepared it for the upcoming ritual.
“ zhōng zhǎng lǎo de yì si shì ， xiān zhōu jìng rán zhǎng wò zhe ， néng gòu yí dìng chéng dù kòng zhì zhēn xiān cán lì de fāng fǎ ？” lǐ fán yī jīng 。
“钟长老的意思是，仙舟竟然掌握着，能够一定程度控制真仙残力的方法？”李凡一惊。
Finally, on the appointed day, Feng Yan led a group of volunteers from the Great启 civilization to the designated location. The ritual was performed, and the Starry Void successfully crossed the wall.
“ shuō shì kòng zhì ， dào yě suàn bù shàng 。 zhǐ néng shuō shì …… zì bǎo 。”
“说是控制，倒也算不上。只能说是……自保。”
The crossing was a significant achievement, but Feng Yan knew that there were still challenges ahead. He continued to work with Master of the Void, carefully planning each step of their next move.
“ ér qiě ， měi dòng yòng yī cì ， dōu xū yào fù chū bù fēi de dài jià 。 zhè yě shì nán gōng zhǎng lǎo sān rén tōu tōu lái zhǎo wǒ de yuán yīn 。” zhōng dào gōng shén qíng mò míng 。
“而且，每动用一次，都需要付出不菲的代价。这也是南宫长老三人偷偷来找我的原因。”钟道恭神情莫名。
"Master of the Void, what is our next objective?" asked Feng Yan after the ritual was completed.
“ zhè …… jiū jìng shì shén me ， nán bù chéng hái yǒu yán shòu zhī xiào ？” lǐ fán tīng zhe ， yuè fā hào qí le 。
“这……究竟是什么，难不成还有延寿之效？”李凡听着，越发好奇了。
"We need to establish a foothold in the mortal world and gather intelligence on any potential threats," replied Master of the Void. "We will also need to ensure that the Starry Void remains hidden from prying eyes."
“ fēi shì xiān qì ， fēi shì mì bǎo 。 ér shì ，【 jūn tiān shén shù 】！” zhōng dào gōng yǎn zhōng shǎn guò yī dào jīng máng 。
“非是仙器，非是秘宝。而是，【均天神术】！”钟道恭眼中闪过一道精芒。
Feng Yan nodded, understanding the importance of their next steps. He knew that they must be cautious and prepared for any unforeseen challenges.
“ jūn tiān shén shù ？” lǐ fán zǐ xì pǐn wèi zhe zhè sì gè zì dài biǎo de hán yì 。
“均天神术？”李凡仔细品味着这四个字代表的含义。
"Let's proceed with our plan and continue to gather information," replied Feng Yan, his resolve unshaken.
zhōng dào gōng liǎn shàng lù chū miǎn huái zhī sè ：“ cǐ shù ， nǎi shì wàn nián lái ， fēn liè hòu de xuán xiān zhōu zhū wèi zhǎng lǎo men ， dān jǐn jié lǜ de zhì huì jié jīng 。”
钟道恭脸上露出缅怀之色：“此术，乃是万年来，分裂后的玄仙舟诸位长老们，殚尽竭虑的智慧结晶。”
With a sense of purpose, Feng Yan and Master of the Void continued their work, determined to achieve their goals and ensure the safety of the Starry Void.
"Master of the Void," upon returning to the Starry Void, Feng Yan asked, "How is everything going with the preparations for crossing the wall?"
"The preparations are proceeding smoothly. We have already secured a sufficient number of volunteers and are ready to start the ritual at any time." replied Master of the Void.
