“ jiù hǎo sì wèi yú shā mò dì xià de shuǐ kù ， qiān bǎi wàn nián jiāng jiān 、 jiāng shèn tòu de shuǐ dī quán dōu shōu jí 。”
“就好似位于沙漠地下的水库，千百万年将间、将渗透的水滴全都收集。”
It seemed like the boundary of the remnants of a world had suddenly appeared out of nowhere. As soon as he returned to the Star Sea, Li Fan stopped using the Ascension Technique and left the node range by utilizing the illusionary sword's concealment technique.
“ dài dào yǒu zhāo yī rì ， shí jī yǐ zhì 、 tiān jiàng bào yǔ ， gān lín biàn luò shā mò 。 zhè dì xià shuǐ kù biàn dào juǎn dì xià zhī shuǐ ， xí juǎn chōng shuā zhěng gè shā mò 。 pèi hé tiān dì dà shì ， jiāng shā mò gǎi tóu huàn miàn ， jiāng máng máng shā dì 、 zhuǎn shùn biàn chéng tāo tāo zé guó ！”
“待到有朝一日，时机已至、天降暴雨，甘霖遍落沙漠。这地下水库便倒卷地下之水，席卷冲刷整个沙漠。配合天地大势，将沙漠改头换面，将茫茫沙地、转瞬变成滔滔泽国！”
Within just a few breaths, he returned from the lowest point in the Star Sea back to its normal level. The sudden change in altitude caused his body and soul to experience some kind of intense impact.
“ zhè shì gǎi tiān huàn dì de shǒu duàn ！” lǐ fán mù guāng shǎn dòng ， hǎo sì yào kàn chuān yǎn qián zhè píng jìng shēng jī zhī hé xià àn cáng de mì mì 。
“这是改天换地的手段！”李凡目光闪动，好似要看穿眼前这平静生机之河下暗藏的秘密。
Blood splattered everywhere as his skin cracked. His soul felt like it had been crushed by countless boulders, bearing immense pressure.
kě xī zhèng rú tā zhī qián suǒ cāi cè de nà yàng ， shēng jī zhī hé de jiàn zào zhě jué duì shì fán sú zhī shàng de cún zài 。
可惜正如他之前所猜测的那样，生机之河的建造者绝对是凡俗之上的存在。
Even with Li Fan's foundation, he couldn't help but turn pale at the sight.
tā de bù zhì ， yóu qí míng xiǎn bìng fēi shì tōng guò zhèn fǎ shí xiàn ， shí zài bú shì xiàn zài de lǐ fán néng cān tòu de 。
祂的布置，尤其明显并非是通过阵法实现，实在不是现在的李凡能参透的。
"Just now, it was akin to ascending from a lower realm to this Star Sea."
yīn bǎi huā xī qǔ shēng jī ér yǐn qǐ de jī liú ， zhú jiàn píng xī 。 zhí dào chè dǐ tuì huí chén jì zhuàng tài ， lǐ fán de guān chá yě méi yǒu sī háo de shōu huò 。
因百花吸取生机而引起的激流，逐渐平息。直到彻底退回沉寂状态，李凡的观察也没有丝毫的收获。
"The impact alone is so intense; imagine what true ascension would entail."
yīn shàng rén 、 bǎi huā yì shì rú cǐ 。 dàng zhēn gēn gāo qiáng yī yàng ， jiù zhè me háo wú zhē yǎn de zhǎn shì zài nǐ miàn qián 、 rèn nǐ yòng jǐn gè zhǒng fāng fǎ kuī tàn 。
殷上人、百花亦是如此。当真跟高墙一样，就这么毫无遮掩的展示在你面前、任你用尽各种方法窥探。
"Without the protection of divine spirit energy, ordinary cultivators likely wouldn't survive." In just a few leisurely breaths, Li Fan's injuries had completely healed.
nǐ què shǐ zhōng wú fǎ nòng qīng chǔ qí zhōng de mì mì 。 cǐ jiān chā jù ， jī hū ràng rén jué wàng 。 sān rén chén mò lì yú shēng jī zhī hé shàng ， jiǔ jiǔ bù yǔ 。
你却始终无法弄清楚其中的秘密。此间差距，几乎让人绝望。三人沉默立于生机之河上，久久不语。
Standing before the mysterious high wall and the remnants of the world boundary, he observed the endless fissures at the bottom of the Star Sea. The invisible high wall, the continuous remnants of the world boundary, and the Star Sea's lowest point all intertwined in a dreamlike and enigmatic manner. Even with his current strength, this Star Sea remained full of mysteries.
bù zhī guò qù le duō jiǔ 。 lǐ fán wēi wēi yáo tóu ：“ gǔ yǒu wàng yáng xīng tàn ， jīn yǒu jiàn hé jué niàn 。”
不知过去了多久。李凡微微摇头：“古有望洋兴叹，今有见河绝念。”
As he looked into it, Li Fan felt that as he continued to grow stronger, the more questions would arise. Until one day, when he broke through some limit, everything would be revealed to the world. He took a final deep look at the Star Sea's wonder and then flew towards the Yellow World with his illusionary sword.
“ cǐ chù yǐn mì ， fēi shì wǒ men xiàn zài néng tàn suǒ de 。 xǔ kè mí shī qí zhōng ， zhǐ néng pàn tā jí rén zì yǒu tiān xiàng le 。” yuán běn yǐ wéi xún zhǎo xǔ kè zhǐ shì shùn shǒu ér wèi zhī shì ， shuí liào zhè cán jiè cháng chéng zhī xià ， hái yǐn cáng zhe biàn bù zhěng gè xīng hǎi de dì fèng 。
“此处隐秘，非是我们现在能探索的。许克迷失其中，只能盼他吉人自有天相了。”原本以为寻找许克只是顺手而为之事，谁料这残界长城之下，还隐藏着遍布整个星海的地缝。
"Dealing with the ritual for the divine ship is not urgent. If it happens too quickly, suspicion might arise."
yú shì jì huà bù dé bù biàn le 。 shí jì shàng ， rú guǒ lǐ fán jiù zhè me yì zhí tàn suǒ xià qù ， kào zhe huà dào shí de jì lù gōng néng yǐ jí mù jiàn xū yǐng de dùn shù ， wèi bì bù néng jiāng xīng hǎi dì fèng wán quán tàn suǒ 。
于是计划不得不变了。实际上，如果李凡就这么一直探索下去，靠着化道石的记录功能以及木剑虚影的遁术，未必不能将星海地缝完全探索。
"As the progress continues, it's time to formally begin cultivating this world's Great Yellow Heavenly Sovereign." The vast amount of divine spirit energy required for the Yellow World's ascension could only be accessed by succeeding as the Great Yellow Heavenly Sovereign.
dàn zhè yī shì de zhòng diǎn ， hái shì shēng huá xuán huáng jiè 。 xīng hǎi dì fèng yùn cáng de shēng jī tài guò páng dà ， nǎ pà zài tuī dòng xuán huáng shēng huá de shí hòu chōu qǔ yī xiē ， yǐ jīng tàn míng qū yù yě jué duì gòu yòng le 。
但这一世的重点，还是升华玄黄界。星海地缝蕴藏的生机太过庞大，哪怕在推动玄黄升华的时候抽取一些，已经探明区域也绝对够用了。
The position of Great Heavenly Sovereign still had many constraints from the ancient celestial realm. The scene where Sun Tianci died a tragic death was still vivid in Li Fan's mind, which meant he would definitely not risk his life.
“ shèng shī ， wǒ dǎ suàn xiān dài zài zhè lǐ 。” bǎi huā chóu chú le yī fān ， hái shì kāi kǒu shuō dào 。
“圣师，我打算先待在这里。”百花踌躇了一番，还是开口说道。
Fortunately, this world didn't require creating another Sun Tianci who was born to follow the path. The transmission of teachings continued day and night across multiple small worlds.
“ cǐ chù shēng jī ， duì fù sū wàn shèng jiè yǒu dà yòng 。 suī měi cì zhǐ néng jué qǔ shǎo xǔ ， dàn chí zhī yǐ héng 、 zuì duō bàn nián shí jiān ， wǒ jiù néng shǐ jiā xiāng chóng fù shēng jī ！” lǐ fán dīng zhe bǎi huā ， mù guāng sì hū chuān tòu tā de qū qiào 、 zhí dǐ hé xīn nà suō yǐng shì jiè 。
“此处生机，对复苏万盛界有大用。虽每次只能攫取少许，但持之以恒、最多半年时间，我就能使家乡重复生机！”李凡盯着百花，目光似乎穿透她的躯壳、直抵核心那缩影世界。
Li Fan had already identified an appropriate target. He flashed through space and landed in a nameless human world.
“ jiù suàn fù sū ， kǒng pà nǐ nà xiē gù rén ， yě wèi bì néng quán bù fù huó le 。” lǐ fán zhòu méi dào 。
“就算复苏，恐怕你那些故人，也未必能全部复活了。”李凡皱眉道。
This small world's scale was far smaller than Da Qi or Da Li, not even comparable to the Spirit Wood World.
lǐ fán zì shì néng kàn chū ， wàn shèng jiè yǐ jí qí zhōng shēng líng ， quán dōu bèi bǎi huā liàn zhì chéng le nà jīn guāng liú lí de zhuàng tài 。
李凡自是能看出，万盛界以及其中生灵，全都被百花炼制成了那金光琉璃的状态。
A mountain range composed of thirteen peaks made up its entirety. It felt more like a miniature cave heaven rather than a true small world.
jí biàn néng gòu yòng pēng pài shēng jī chōng shuā ， shǐ qí cóng liú lí tài fù hái 。 dàn lái qù zhī jiān ， jiū jìng yǒu duō shǎo shēng líng néng chéng shòu zhè zhǒng biàn huà ， shí zài bù hǎo shuō 。
即便能够用澎湃生机冲刷，使其从琉璃态复还。但来去之间，究竟有多少生灵能承受这种变化，实在不好说。
However, within this insignificant human world, Li Fan sensed the birth of a faint world dao consciousness.
bǎi huā què yī jiù mù guāng jiān dìng ：“ jìn rén shì 、 tīng tiān mìng bà le ！ cǐ qián shì gēn běn méi yǒu fù sū shì jiè de fāng fǎ ， xiàn zài liáng jī jiù zài yǎn qián ， yòu qǐ néng shì ér bù jiàn ？” lǐ fán jiàn zhuàng ， yě jiù méi yǒu zǔ lán 。
百花却依旧目光坚定：“尽人事、听天命罢了！此前是根本没有复苏世界的方法，现在良机就在眼前，又岂能视而不见？”李凡见状，也就没有阻拦。
There was also a boy with an exceptionally pure and genuine nature. The small world's size might be the reason why humans here had great difficulty in reproducing.
yīn shàng rén zhè shí ， yě kāi kǒu ：“ wǒ gēn bǎi huā yī yàng ， duǎn shí jiān nèi 、 bù xiǎng lí kāi 。” lǐ fán méi máo yáng le yáng ：“ zhè shēng jī duì nǐ yě yǒu yòng ？” yīn shàng rén yáo le yáo tóu ：“ bú shì 。 zhǐ bù guò ， zài zhè shēng jī zhī hé fù jìn ， wǒ gǎn dào le nèi xīn wú bǐ de níng jìng 。 nà xiē zhī qián ǒu ěr zài wǒ yì shí zhōng tū rán mào chū lái de shì jiè cán hún ， zài cǐ chù 、 quán dōu xiàn rù chén jì ……” zhè lǐ yóu ràng lǐ fán yǎ rán 。
殷上人这时，也开口：“我跟百花一样，短时间内、不想离开。”李凡眉毛扬了扬：“这生机对你也有用？”殷上人摇了摇头：“不是。只不过，在这生机之河附近，我感到了内心无比的宁静。那些之前偶尔在我意识中突然冒出来的世界残魂，在此处、全都陷入沉寂……”这理由让李凡哑然。
As a result, their overall population remained at a low level. To them, the resources within the mountains seemed endless.
“ yě hǎo 。 nǐ ruò xián zhe wú shì ， jiù shùn biàn zhǎo yī zhǎo xǔ kè 。 néng zhǎo dào zuì hǎo 。 shí zài bù xíng ， yě bù bì qiǎng qiú ， zì shēn ān quán dì yī 。”
“也好。你若闲着无事，就顺便找一找许克。能找到最好。实在不行，也不必强求，自身安全第一。”
With just thirteen peaks and so few people, everyone knew each other well, leading to fewer disputes. Most of their time was spent idly.
“ xuán huáng shēng huá ， nǎi shì cháng yuǎn jì huà 。 yě bù zài hū zhè bàn nián shí jiān 。 nǐ men jiù liú zài cǐ chù bà ， wǒ bàn nián hòu ， zài lái jiē nǐ men 。” lǐ fán duì èr rén shuō dào 。
“玄黄升华，乃是长远计划。也不在乎这半年时间。你们就留在此处罢，我半年后，再来接你们。”李凡对二人说道。
Humans here inevitably developed curiosity about what lay beyond the mountains. Just like how the Star Sea's creatures were confined by the high walls, they could never leave this world's boundaries.
èr rén gǒng shǒu ， gēn lǐ fán dào bié 。 lǐ fán zé shì tà bù ， mù jiàn xū yǐng yìng zhào zhōu shēn 。 piàn kè zhī hòu ， yī gǔ qí yì de bō dòng ， zài tā zhōu wéi xiǎn xiàn 。
二人拱手，跟李凡道别。李凡则是踏步，木剑虚影映照周身。片刻之后，一股奇异的波动，在他周围显现。
Since he could walk, a little boy often climbed the highest peak in this world to gaze at it from atop. He would lie down and silently observe the sky as he took in the view of the thirteen peaks.
zhèng shì dēng lín fǎ zhèn ！ yóu rú xiū shì fēi shēng 、 pān dēng tiān mén de hè hè wēi shì ， ràng yīn shàng rén yǔ bǎi huā bù yóu yuǎn lí 、 zàn bì 。
正是登临法阵！犹如修士飞升、攀登天门的赫赫威势，让殷上人与百花不由远离、暂避。
Li Fan had observed this boy many times. During his climbs and observations, his mind was filled with various thoughts.
zài tā men miàn qián ， lǐ fán shí jì wèi zhì bìng méi yǒu fā shēng biàn huà 。 dàn tā men què zhēn shí de gǎn shòu dào ， lǐ fán jù lí tā men yuè lái yuè yuǎn 、 yuè lái yuè …… gāo 。
在他们面前，李凡实际位置并没有发生变化。但他们却真实的感受到，李凡距离他们越来越远、越来越……高。
However, when he lay down and looked up at the sky, his consciousness nearly became completely blank, his thoughts settling into a state of peace.
lǐ fán yì lì yú mù jiàn zhōng de xū yǐng ， zhú jiàn biàn dé xū wú 。 zuì zhōng chè dǐ àn dàn ， xiāo shī zài èr rén shì yě zhōng 。
李凡屹立于木剑中的虚影，逐渐变得虚无。最终彻底黯淡，消失在二人视野中。
If not for Li Fan still being able to sense his life force, it would have seemed as if he had passed away. After all, living beings in this world inevitably interacted with their surroundings, leading to various thoughts.
“ zhè děng shǒu duàn ……” yīn shàng rén shén chí mù xuàn ， bù jīn shuō dào ：“ rú guǒ shèng shī bàn nián hòu bù lái jiē wǒ men ， nà me wǒ men huò xǔ jiù yào yī bèi zi bèi kùn zài zhè lǐ le 。” bǎi huā méi yǒu fǎn bó ， zhǐ shì shuō le jù
“这等手段……”殷上人神驰目眩，不禁说道：“如果圣师半年后不来接我们，那么我们或许就要一辈子被困在这里了。”百花没有反驳，只是说了句
Only a few people could achieve such an ignorant and unconscious state through sheer luck or extraordinary talent.
“ bù guò cǐ dì biàn bù shēng jī ， què yě bù yòng dān xīn bèi kùn sǐ 。” jiù yì zhí dīng zhe píng jìng de shēng jī zhī hé ， děng dài xià cì xī qǔ de shí jī le 。
“不过此地遍布生机，却也不用担心被困死。”就一直盯着平静的生机之河，等待下次吸取的时机了。
However, this realm of ignorance for cultivators was rare but attainable for this boy.
…… cán jiè cháng chéng 。 tōng xiàng dì fèng wā dì de nà chù jié diǎn zhī wài 。 háo wú zhēng zhào de ， lǐ fán de shēn yǐng tū wù zhà xiàn 。
……残界长城。通向地缝洼地的那处节点之外。毫无征兆的，李凡的身影突兀乍现。
Moreover... the size of this thirteen peaks world was too small. Yet, by chance, it had its own dao consciousness.
zài huí dào xīng hǎi de shùn jiān ， tā jiù tíng zhǐ le dēng lín fǎ zhèn ， bìng jiè zhù mù jiàn xū yǐng dùn shù 、 lí kāi le jié diǎn de fàn wéi 。
在回到星海的瞬间，他就停止了登临法阵，并借助木剑虚影遁术、离开了节点的范围。
The actions of this little boy lying on the highest point of the world and gazing at the sky day after day naturally caught the attention of the world's dao consciousness.
bù guò jǐ gè hū xī de gōng fu ， cóng zhì dī wā dì huí dào zhèng cháng shì gāo xīng hǎi 。 duǎn shí jiān nèi shì gāo dì de jí sù biàn huà ， shǐ de tā de shēn qū yǐ jí shén hún ， dōu hǎo sì jīng lì le mǒu zhǒng jù liè chōng jī shì de 。
不过几个呼吸的功夫，从至低洼地回到正常势高星海。短时间内势高地的急速变化，使得他的身躯以及神魂，都好似经历了某种剧烈冲击似的。
However, the world's dao consciousness in the thirteen peaks remained in a very primitive state. It was merely instinctively curious.
pū pū …… xiān xuè biāo jiàn ， pí fū cùn liè 。 shén hún gèng shì xiàng bèi qiān bǎi jù shí gǔn guò ， chéng yā 、 niǎn suì 。
噗噗……鲜血飙溅，皮肤寸裂。神魂更是像被千百巨石滚过，承压、碾碎。
Thus, the boy's soul became like a blank sheet of paper, slowly imprinting the thirteen peaks' world dao consciousness upon it.
jí biàn yǐ lǐ fán de gēn jī ， yě bù yóu chà nà miàn sè cǎn bái 。
即便以李凡的根基，也不由刹那面色惨白。
The imprints left by the world dao on his soul did not affect his nature. He continued to climb and gaze at the sky every day.
“ gāng gāng de xíng wéi ， jiù hǎo sì bàn gè fēi shēng 。 zhǐ bù guò shì cóng jiào dī yī céng jí de shì jiè ， fēi shēng dào xiàn zài de xīng hǎi 。”
“刚刚的行为，就好似半个飞升。只不过是从较低一层级的世界，飞升到现在的星海。”
Meanwhile, in his unawareness, the world dao's awareness gradually grew more familiar and left deeper imprints...
“ suǒ shòu chōng jī jiù yǐ jīng rú cǐ jù liè ， kě xiǎng zhēn zhèng de fēi shēng 、 yòu huì jīng shòu hé děng kǎo yàn 。”
“所受冲击就已经如此剧烈，可想真正的飞升、又会经受何等考验。”
Li Fan observed countless people and small worlds. He had to admit that this was an unrepeatable miracle.
“ méi yǒu xiān líng zhī qì bì yòu ， yì bān xiū shì kǒng pà jué wú xìng cún zhī lǐ 。” lǐ fán yōu rán shén sī de jǐ gè hū xī jiān ， tā de shāng shì jiù yǐ jīng jìn shù fù yuán 。
“没有仙灵之气庇佑，一般修士恐怕绝无幸存之理。”李凡悠然神思的几个呼吸间，他的伤势就已经尽数复原。
"Human-like yet divine, divine yet human. Unity of heaven and man, a human seizing the extraordinary!"
méi yǒu lí kāi ， lǐ fán níng wàng zhe cǐ chù gāo qiáng xià de qí guān 。 kàn bú jiàn de gāo qiáng 、 lián mián de cán jiè cháng chéng 、 xīng hǎi zuì dī chù de wú jìn dì fèng 。
没有离开，李凡凝望着此处高墙下的奇观。看不见的高墙、连绵的残界长城、星海最低处的无尽地缝。
"Observing the ways of heaven, adhering to its actions, it's complete!" This unnamed boy inadvertently reached the perfect realm recorded by ancient daoists.
jiāo zhī yī chù ， mèng huàn mí lí 、 shén mì mò cè 。 jí biàn lǐ fán de shí lì ， yǐ jīng kuài yào zhàn zài xīng hǎi zhī diān 。
交织一处，梦幻迷离、神秘莫测。即便李凡的实力，已经快要站在星海之巅。
Despite the small scale of this world, its dao was far from that of the Yellow World in terms of perfection.
zài tā yǎn zhōng ， zhè piàn xīng hǎi yě yī jiù mí tí chóng chóng 。 shèn zhì huò xǔ suí zhe tā bù duàn biàn qiáng ， suǒ jiē chù fā xiàn de yuè duō 、 xīn zhōng de mí huò hái huì gèng duō 。
在他眼中，这片星海也依旧谜题重重。甚至或许随着他不断变强，所接触发现的越多、心中的迷惑还会更多。
But without a doubt, for Li Fan, this boy would be an ideal candidate for the Great Yellow Heavenly Sovereign. The Great Yellow Heavenly Sovereign essentially supervised heaven with human intervention at critical moments.
zhí dào yǒu yī rì ， tū pò mǒu gè jí xiàn 。 yī qiè zhōng jiāng dà bái yú tiān xià 。 lǐ fán zàn shí zuì hòu shēn shēn kàn le yī yǎn zhè xīng hǎi qí guān ， ér hòu mù jiàn xū yǐng chū qiào 、 cháo zhe xuán huáng jiè fēi dùn 。
直到有一日，突破某个极限。一切终将大白于天下。李凡暂时最后深深看了一眼这星海奇观，而后木剑虚影出鞘、朝着玄黄界飞遁。
For Li Fan, he merely needed a puppet to open the legacy of the former Great Heavenly Sovereign. The lower the autonomy of the puppet, the better. But if it were just a mindless puppet, it wouldn't be able to pass the succession test.
“ yìng fù xiān zhōu de yí shì ， zàn qiě bù jí 。 ruò shì chéng shì tài kuài ， fǎn dào huì yǐn qǐ huái yí 。”
“应付仙舟的仪式，暂且不急。若是成事太快，反倒会引起怀疑。”
The appearance of this boy perfectly solved Li Fan's problem.
“ zhǐ shì suí zhe jìn dù de tuī jìn ， péi yǎng zhè yī shì de xuán huáng dà tiān zūn ， yě shì shí hòu zhèng shì kāi shǐ le 。” xuán huáng shēng huá jì huà zhōng ， suǒ bì xū de dà liàng xiān líng zhī qì ， wéi yǒu jì rèn chéng wéi xuán huáng dà tiān zūn cái néng diào yòng 。
“只是随着进度的推进，培养这一世的玄黄大天尊，也是时候正式开始了。”玄黄升华计划中，所必须的大量仙灵之气，唯有继任成为玄黄大天尊才能调用。
"Based on his current state, he will not make any autonomous actions after becoming the Great Yellow Heavenly Sovereign. He'll follow the original Yellow World dao and govern in a non-interference manner."
dà tiān zūn yī zhí ， xī rì xiān jiè de zhǒng zhǒng yuē shù yī jiù cún zài 。 shàng yī shì sūn tiān cì sǐ yú fēi mìng de chǎng miàn hái lì lì zài mù ， zhè yě zhù dìng le ， lǐ fán kěn dìng bú huì yǐ shēn shè xiǎn 。
大天尊一职，昔日仙界的种种约束依旧存在。上一世孙天赐死于非命的场面还历历在目，这也注定了，李凡肯定不会以身涉险。
"For the Yellow World dao, having an inactive Great Yellow Heavenly Sovereign would be what it desires... perhaps even more so than White Master..." Li Fan became increasingly satisfied as he observed the boy.
hǎo zài zhè yī shì ， dǎo shì bù bì yào zài qù chuàng zào yí gè shēng ér hé dào de sūn tiān cì le 。 chuán dào xū yǐng zài duō gè fán rén xiǎo shì jiè rì yè chuán dào bù tíng 。
好在这一世，倒是不必要再去创造一个生而合道的孙天赐了。传道虚影在多个凡人小世界日夜传道不停。
He flicked his finger, sending some light into the boy's pure and blank consciousness. He didn't disturb the approaching world dao awareness.
yǐ jīng wù sè dào le yí gè hé shì de mù biāo 。 lǐ fán shēn yǐng shǎn dòng ， lái dào le yī chù wú míng de fán rén shì jiè zhōng 。
已经物色到了一个合适的目标。李凡身影闪动，来到了一处无名的凡人世界中。
This time, Li Fan did not directly impart all the details of the陨仙境 test. Instead, he subtly hinted at key choice points to guide him.
zhè xiǎo shì jiè de guī mó ， bù shuō gēn dà qǐ 、 dà lí xiāng bǐ le ， shèn zhì bǐ qǐ líng mù jiè dōu yuǎn yuǎn bù rú 。
这小世界的规模，不说跟大启、大离相比了，甚至比起灵木界都远远不如。
The boy's thoughts were too simple. With these hints, he should be able to complete the test through instinctive choices.
yī zuò yóu shí sān fēng zǔ chéng de shān mài ， jiù shì shì jiè de quán bù 。 yǔ qí shuō shì xiǎo shì jiè ， gèng xiàng shì yí gè xiǎo guī mó de dòng tiān 。
一座由十三峰组成的山脉，就是世界的全部。与其说是小世界，更像是一个小规模的洞天。
"The future Great Yellow Heavenly Sovereign must have a name."
dàn jiù shì zhè me yí gè jí biàn shì zhù jī xiū shì dōu bù yí dìng huì zài yì de fán rén xiǎo shì jiè lǐ ， lǐ fán què gǎn yìng dào le wēi ruò de shì jiè tiān dào yì shí de dàn shēng 。
但就是这么一个即便是筑基修士都不一定会在意的凡人小世界里，李凡却感应到了微弱的世界天道意识的诞生。
"From now on, you'll be called 'Unnamed'." To maintain his purity, Li Fan did not implant himself in the boy's mind.
yǐ jí qí zhōng yī wèi xìng qíng kān chēng zhì chún zhì zhēn de nán hái 。 huò xǔ zhèng shì yīn wèi shì jiè tài xiǎo de yuán gù ， zhè lǐ de rén lèi yùn yù xià yí dài jí wéi jiān nán 。
以及其中一位性情堪称至纯至真的男孩。或许正是因为世界太小的缘故，这里的人类孕育下一代极为艰难。
He performed the ritual outside the thirteen peaks and entered the Illusory Realm of the陨仙境. He then succeeded as the Great Yellow Heavenly Sovereign. The future would see him detonate divine artifacts with divine spirit energy to infuse the Yellow World, propelling the first celestial soul of the ascended world into existence...
yīn ér zǒng tǐ rén lèi shù liàng ， shǐ zhōng wéi chí zài yí gè jiào dī de shuǐ píng 。 duì tā men ér yán ， dà shān lǐ de zī yuán ， jī hū wú qióng wú jìn 。
因而总体人类数量，始终维持在一个较低的水平。对他们而言，大山里的资源，几乎无穷无尽。
All this was done through silent guidance and subtle hints.
shí sān gè shān tóu ， jiù nà me xiē rén ， bǐ cǐ jiān dōu shú shí 。 yě jiù hěn shǎo yǒu le fēn zhēng 。 měi tiān jué dà duō shù shí jiān ， dōu shì kòng xián zhuàng tài 。
十三个山头，就那么些人，彼此间都熟识。也就很少有了纷争。每天绝大多数时间，都是空闲状态。
This meant Li Fan needed to cooperate with Unnamed in reverse for his cultivation plan. But Unnamed's non-interference approach would minimize uncontrollable factors.
zhè lǐ de rén lèi yǒu xiē bù kě bì miǎn de ， duì dà shān yǐ wài chǎn shēng le hào qí 。 dàn jiù xiàng xīng hǎi shēng líng shǐ zhōng bèi kùn zài gāo qiáng zhī nèi yī yàng 。
这里的人类有些不可避免的，对大山以外产生了好奇。但就像星海生灵始终被困在高墙之内一样。
"Unnamed's existence will be nearly zero for a long time."
tā men zhōng qí yī shēng ， dōu wú fǎ lí kāi shì jiè de biān jiè 。 yǒu zhè yàng yī wèi xiǎo nán hái ， cóng néng zǒu lù nà tiān qǐ ， jiù shí cháng pá shàng cǐ jiè zuì gāo de shān fēng 。
他们终其一生，都无法离开世界的边界。有这样一位小男孩，从能走路那天起，就时常爬上此界最高的山峰。
"But if I achieve dao union after this world, and the Yellow World's ascension is still ongoing... " Li Fan's eyes sparkled with curiosity: "As time passes, his soul will merge with the super Yellow World's dao consciousness. Perhaps Unnamed can achieve true divine status through such an opportunity!"
dú lì shān diān ， tiào wàng zhè ge xiá xiǎo de shì jiè 。 shí sān fēng shān mài ， jìn shōu yǎn dǐ 。 ér hòu tǎng zài dì shàng ， mò mò kàn zhe tiān kōng 。
独立山巅，眺望这个狭小的世界。十三峰山脉，尽收眼底。而后躺在地上，默默看着天空。
It was foreseeable that under Li Fan's various means, the Yellow World would almost ascend to become a heavenly realm.
lǐ fán céng jīng guān chá guò zhè xiǎo nán hái 。 zài tā pān dēng 、 tiào wàng de guò chéng zhōng ， tā de nǎo hǎi zhōng hái cún zài zhū duō zá sī 。
李凡曾经观察过这小男孩。在他攀登、眺望的过程中，他的脑海中还存在诸多杂思。
Being able to merge with the heavenly realm's dao consciousness... even true immortals might not be able to do so! At that time, his strength would undoubtedly surpass the Star Sea's average divine consciousness!
dàn dāng tā tǎng xià ， gēn tiān kōng duì shì zhī hòu 。 tā de yì shí jiù jìn hū xiàn rù le jué duì de kòng bái zhī zhōng ， sī xù chè dǐ píng fù 。
但当他躺下，跟天空对视之后。他的意识就近乎陷入了绝对的空白之中，思绪彻底平复。
However, the required time was too long. Only someone like Unnamed, born through chance and pure of heart, could achieve it.
ruò bú shì lǐ fán hái néng gǎn yìng dào tā de shēng mìng qì xī ， jī hū jiù yào yǐ wéi tā yǐ jīng shì qù le 。 yào zhī dào ， shēng líng cún huó shì jiān ， gēn wài jiè chǎn shēng zhǒng zhǒng jiāo hù 、 shì bì huì dàn shēng zì jǐ de xiǎng fǎ 。
若不是李凡还能感应到他的生命气息，几乎就要以为他已经逝去了。要知道，生灵存活世间，跟外界产生种种交互、势必会诞生自己的想法。
If Li Fan were to try, his inherent self would inevitably conflict with the Yellow World dao after a short while.
wéi yǒu jí shǎo shù rén ， cái néng huò shì jī yuán qiǎo hé 、 huò shì tiān fù yì bǐng ， xiàn rù zhè bān wú zhī wú shí de kōng de jìng jiè 。
唯有极少数人，才能或是机缘巧合、或是天赋异禀，陷入这般无知无识的空的境界。
Thus, from the beginning, Li Fan had rejected the idea of replacing himself.
rán ér ， zhè xiū xíng zhī rén kě yù bù kě qiú de jìng jiè ， duì yú zhè xiǎo nán hái ér yán ， què shì cháng tài 。
然而，这修行之人可遇不可求的境界，对于这小男孩而言，却是常态。
"Who knows what changes will occur in the position of Great Yellow Heavenly Sovereign when the Yellow World ascends to become a heavenly realm?"
shèn zhì …… zhè shí sān fēng shì jiè shí zài tài xiǎo le 。 dàn yòu piān piān jī yuán qiǎo hé zhī xià ， dàn shēng le shǔ yú zì jǐ de tiān dào yì shí 。
甚至……这十三峰世界实在太小了。但又偏偏机缘巧合之下，诞生了属于自己的天道意识。
"Will the shackles left by the ancient celestial realm disappear or deepen?"
It seemed like the boundary of the remnants of a world had suddenly appeared out of nowhere. As soon as he returned to the Star Sea, Li Fan stopped using the Ascension Technique and left the node range by utilizing the illusionary sword's concealment technique.
Within just a few breaths, he returned from the lowest point in the Star Sea back to its normal level. The sudden change in altitude caused his body and soul to experience some kind of intense impact.
Blood splattered everywhere as his skin cracked. His soul felt like it had been crushed by countless boulders, bearing immense pressure.
Even with Li Fan's foundation, he couldn't help but turn pale at the sight.
"Just now, it was akin to ascending from a lower realm to this Star Sea."
"The impact alone is so intense; imagine what true ascension would entail."
"Without the protection of divine spirit energy, ordinary cultivators likely wouldn't survive." In just a few leisurely breaths, Li Fan's injuries had completely healed.
Standing before the mysterious high wall and the remnants of the world boundary, he observed the endless fissures at the bottom of the Star Sea. The invisible high wall, the continuous remnants of the world boundary, and the Star Sea's lowest point all intertwined in a dreamlike and enigmatic manner. Even with his current strength, this Star Sea remained full of mysteries.
As he looked into it, Li Fan felt that as he continued to grow stronger, the more questions would arise. Until one day, when he broke through some limit, everything would be revealed to the world. He took a final deep look at the Star Sea's wonder and then flew towards the Yellow World with his illusionary sword.
"Dealing with the ritual for the divine ship is not urgent. If it happens too quickly, suspicion might arise."
"As the progress continues, it's time to formally begin cultivating this world's Great Yellow Heavenly Sovereign." The vast amount of divine spirit energy required for the Yellow World's ascension could only be accessed by succeeding as the Great Yellow Heavenly Sovereign.
The position of Great Heavenly Sovereign still had many constraints from the ancient celestial realm. The scene where Sun Tianci died a tragic death was still vivid in Li Fan's mind, which meant he would definitely not risk his life.
Fortunately, this world didn't require creating another Sun Tianci who was born to follow the path. The transmission of teachings continued day and night across multiple small worlds.
Li Fan had already identified an appropriate target. He flashed through space and landed in a nameless human world.
This small world's scale was far smaller than Da Qi or Da Li, not even comparable to the Spirit Wood World.
A mountain range composed of thirteen peaks made up its entirety. It felt more like a miniature cave heaven rather than a true small world.
However, within this insignificant human world, Li Fan sensed the birth of a faint world dao consciousness.
There was also a boy with an exceptionally pure and genuine nature. The small world's size might be the reason why humans here had great difficulty in reproducing.
As a result, their overall population remained at a low level. To them, the resources within the mountains seemed endless.
With just thirteen peaks and so few people, everyone knew each other well, leading to fewer disputes. Most of their time was spent idly.
Humans here inevitably developed curiosity about what lay beyond the mountains. Just like how the Star Sea's creatures were confined by the high walls, they could never leave this world's boundaries.
Since he could walk, a little boy often climbed the highest peak in this world to gaze at it from atop. He would lie down and silently observe the sky as he took in the view of the thirteen peaks.
Li Fan had observed this boy many times. During his climbs and observations, his mind was filled with various thoughts.
However, when he lay down and looked up at the sky, his consciousness nearly became completely blank, his thoughts settling into a state of peace.
If not for Li Fan still being able to sense his life force, it would have seemed as if he had passed away. After all, living beings in this world inevitably interacted with their surroundings, leading to various thoughts.
Only a few people could achieve such an ignorant and unconscious state through sheer luck or extraordinary talent.
However, this realm of ignorance for cultivators was rare but attainable for this boy.
Moreover... the size of this thirteen peaks world was too small. Yet, by chance, it had its own dao consciousness.
The actions of this little boy lying on the highest point of the world and gazing at the sky day after day naturally caught the attention of the world's dao consciousness.
However, the world's dao consciousness in the thirteen peaks remained in a very primitive state. It was merely instinctively curious.
Thus, the boy's soul became like a blank sheet of paper, slowly imprinting the thirteen peaks' world dao consciousness upon it.
The imprints left by the world dao on his soul did not affect his nature. He continued to climb and gaze at the sky every day.
Meanwhile, in his unawareness, the world dao's awareness gradually grew more familiar and left deeper imprints...
Li Fan observed countless people and small worlds. He had to admit that this was an unrepeatable miracle.
"Human-like yet divine, divine yet human. Unity of heaven and man, a human seizing the extraordinary!"
"Observing the ways of heaven, adhering to its actions, it's complete!" This unnamed boy inadvertently reached the perfect realm recorded by ancient daoists.
Despite the small scale of this world, its dao was far from that of the Yellow World in terms of perfection.
But without a doubt, for Li Fan, this boy would be an ideal candidate for the Great Yellow Heavenly Sovereign. The Great Yellow Heavenly Sovereign essentially supervised heaven with human intervention at critical moments.
For Li Fan, he merely needed a puppet to open the legacy of the former Great Heavenly Sovereign. The lower the autonomy of the puppet, the better. But if it were just a mindless puppet, it wouldn't be able to pass the succession test.
The appearance of this boy perfectly solved Li Fan's problem.
"Based on his current state, he will not make any autonomous actions after becoming the Great Yellow Heavenly Sovereign. He'll follow the original Yellow World dao and govern in a non-interference manner."
"For the Yellow World dao, having an inactive Great Yellow Heavenly Sovereign would be what it desires... perhaps even more so than White Master..." Li Fan became increasingly satisfied as he observed the boy.
He flicked his finger, sending some light into the boy's pure and blank consciousness. He didn't disturb the approaching world dao awareness.
This time, Li Fan did not directly impart all the details of the陨仙境 test. Instead, he subtly hinted at key choice points to guide him.
The boy's thoughts were too simple. With these hints, he should be able to complete the test through instinctive choices.
"The future Great Yellow Heavenly Sovereign must have a name."
"From now on, you'll be called 'Unnamed'." To maintain his purity, Li Fan did not implant himself in the boy's mind.
He performed the ritual outside the thirteen peaks and entered the Illusory Realm of the陨仙境. He then succeeded as the Great Yellow Heavenly Sovereign. The future would see him detonate divine artifacts with divine spirit energy to infuse the Yellow World, propelling the first celestial soul of the ascended world into existence...
All this was done through silent guidance and subtle hints.
This meant Li Fan needed to cooperate with Unnamed in reverse for his cultivation plan. But Unnamed's non-interference approach would minimize uncontrollable factors.
"Unnamed's existence will be nearly zero for a long time."
"But if I achieve dao union after this world, and the Yellow World's ascension is still ongoing... " Li Fan's eyes sparkled with curiosity: "As time passes, his soul will merge with the super Yellow World's dao consciousness. Perhaps Unnamed can achieve true divine status through such an opportunity!"
It was foreseeable that under Li Fan's various means, the Yellow World would almost ascend to become a heavenly realm.
Being able to merge with the heavenly realm's dao consciousness... even true immortals might not be able to do so! At that time, his strength would undoubtedly surpass the Star Sea's average divine consciousness!
However, the required time was too long. Only someone like Unnamed, born through chance and pure of heart, could achieve it.
If Li Fan were to try, his inherent self would inevitably conflict with the Yellow World dao after a short while.
Thus, from the beginning, Li Fan had rejected the idea of replacing himself.
