cuì ruò yǔ qiáng dà , liǎng gè jié rán xiāng fǎn de cí huì , sì hū zài qiáo shì dào de shēn shàng dá chéng le tǒng yī 。
脆弱与强大,两个截然相反的词汇,似乎在乔似道的身上达成了统一。
Vagueness and uncertainty, indeed, did not let him down.
jí biàn tā de shén hún , zài bèi lǐ fán zhěng jiù zhī qián , yǐ jīng shì yǎn yǎn yī xī 、 suí shí dōu yǒu kě néng pò miè de zhuàng tài 。 dàn tā hào rú yān hǎi de fán zá jì yì , què shì ràng lǐ fán dōu wēi wēi sè biàn 。
即便他的神魂,在被李凡拯救之前,已经是奄奄一息、随时都有可能破灭的状态。但他浩如烟海的繁杂记忆,却是让李凡都微微色变。
It was truly usable!
「 ruò wǒ de shén hún qiáng dù zhǐ shì zhè bān , gēn běn bù zú yǐ zhī chēng qǐ rú cǐ duō de jì yì ……」
「若我的神魂强度只是这般,根本不足以支撑起如此多的记忆……」
Turning to the enigmatic Third Emperor Mo, Li Fan began their unfinished dialogue from their previous life.
jiāng qiáo shì dào shén hún de tè shū xìng fàng zài yī biān , lǐ fán xiān dà zhì sǎo shì le yī quān qiáo shì dào wú shù jì yì zhōng de huà miàn 。
将乔似道神魂的特殊性放在一边,李凡先大致扫视了一圈乔似道无数记忆中的画面。
"How much power is needed to cross feasibility?"
dà duō shù 【 shí dài 】 tuī yǎn de shì jiè , lǐ fán dōu bù gǎn xìng qù 。 jiù suàn qí zhōng qiáo shì dào qīn shēn jīng lì suǒ jiē chù de gè zhǒng gōng fǎ 、 shén tōng , duì rú jīn de lǐ fán lái shuō , yě yǐ jīng yòng chǔ bù dà 。
大多数【时代】推衍的世界,李凡都不感兴趣。就算其中乔似道亲身经历所接触的各种功法、神通,对如今的李凡来说,也已经用处不大。
"What kind of energy does the Sacred Beast Mountain contain?"
dǎo shì qiáo shì dào céng duō cì yǐ bù tóng de shēn fèn jìn rù xiān dào shí zōng nèi , qī jiān ǒu rán dǎ tīng dào de 、 guān yú shàng gǔ shí qī 、 xiān jiè de mì wén , hái gèng jiā yǒu yòng xiē 。
倒是乔似道曾多次以不同的身份进入仙道十宗内,期间偶然打听到的、关于上古时期、仙界的秘闻,还更加有用些。
As he spoke, Li Fan conjured a small ball of ancient copper-colored energy and threw it at the Third Emperor Mo.
「 jiù shì bù zhī , zhè xiē xìn xī zhēn shí dù jiū jìng yǒu duō shǎo 。 shì zhǐ cún zài yú tuī yǎn shì jiè zhōng de shè dìng , hái shì yuán zì zhū jiè pò miè liú chuán xià lái de zhū sī mǎ jì ……」
「就是不知,这些信息真实度究竟有多少。是只存在于推衍世界中的设定,还是源自诸界破灭流传下来的蛛丝马迹……」
His two sentences had already caused this long-lived beast, after an immense shock, to become somewhat nervous. After greedily absorbing this extremely pure energy into his body and feeling the revival throughout every corner of his being, the Third Emperor Mo confirmed that before him was indeed someone who had reached the legendary stage.
biàn guān qiáo shì dào zài bǎi qiān yì cì lún huí zhōng jīng lì de suǒ yǒu shì jiè , zhǐ yǒu liǎng gè zhí de lǐ fán duō kàn yī yǎn 。
遍观乔似道在百千亿次轮回中经历的所有世界,只有两个值得李凡多看一眼。
Perhaps due to the age and decay of this body, the originally pure and genuine 'Primordial Ancient Green Source' he consumed was slowly dissipating. Only a small amount remained.
yí gè shì 【 yǒng héng xiān jiè 】, lìng wài yí gè zé shì 【 luàn liú shí kōng 】。
一个是【永恒仙界】,另外一个则是【乱流时空】。
But even with just a little bit, it meant an additional ten thousand years of life for him at least. More crucially, he had personally witnessed how the Third Emperor Mo seemed to conjure up 'Primordial Ancient Green Source' out of thin air.
yǒng héng xiān jiè shì tuī yǎn zhōng , zài méi yǒu miè shì dà jié de qíng kuàng xià 、 xiū xiān wén míng fā zhǎn dào jí zhì hòu de wán měi shì jiè 。 bù jǐn rén jūn shòu mìng jí wéi màn cháng , jiù suàn bù xiū xíng yě yǒu shù qiān nián shòu yuán 。 dāng zhōng gèng yǒu míng wèi 【 xiān líng tǎ 】 de wěi dà cún zài 。
永恒仙界是推衍中,在没有灭世大劫的情况下、修仙文明发展到极致后的完美世界。不仅人均寿命极为漫长,就算不修行也有数千年寿元。当中更有名为【仙灵塔】的伟大存在。
If this substance could be inexhaustible...
xiān líng tǎ biàn bù shì jiè měi gè jiǎo luò , rì yè bù tíng dì cháo wài shì fàng jīng chún de líng qì 。 gōng fǎ 、 zhèn fǎ 、 liàn dān 、 liàn yào …… rèn hé nǐ xiǎng yào liǎo jiě de zhī shí , dōu kě yǐ zài xiān líng tǎ zhōng chá xún 、 xué xí , bìng qiě méi yǒu xiàn zhì 。
仙灵塔遍布世界每个角落,日夜不停地朝外释放精纯的灵气。功法、阵法、炼丹、炼药……任何你想要了解的知识,都可以在仙灵塔中查询、学习,并且没有限制。
Instantly, countless thoughts flashed through his mind.
qiáo shì dào zhèng shì zài xiān líng tǎ nèi , jī zǎn le zú gòu de yuè lì 、 cóng 【 shí dài 】 zhuāng zhì zhōng yī jǔ táo lí 。
乔似道正是在仙灵塔内,积攒了足够的阅历、从【时代】装置中一举逃离。
But ultimately, only one remained firm and resolute.
bì jìng zhǐ shì tuī yǎn zhōng de lǐ lùn tǐ xì , wú fǎ wán quán tào yòng zài xiàn shí zhī zhōng 。
毕竟只是推衍中的理论体系,无法完全套用在现实之中。
No matter what, he must stay by the side of this senior!
yǐ lǐ fán rú jīn de yǎn guāng , zì rán yī yǎn jiù kàn chū le qiáo shì dào suǒ xué xí zhǒng zhǒng de bù hé xié zhī chù 。
以李凡如今的眼光,自然一眼就看出了乔似道所学习种种的不和谐之处。
For survival, whether it was for himself or the entire clan. The Third Emperor Mo had repeatedly stood by different people's sides.
「 sì shì ér fēi 。 zài tuī yǎn xū nǐ shì jiè zhōng 、 huò xǔ xíng zhī yǒu xiào , dàn ……」
「似是而非。在推衍虚拟世界中、或许行之有效,但……」
Initially with the First Emperor, then the Beast Taming Sect, and later the Teaching Immortal.
lǐ fán yǐ qiáo shì dào jì yì zhōng yí gè jí qiáng dà de zhèn fǎ lái zuò shì yàn 。
李凡以乔似道记忆中一个极强大的阵法来做试验。
The hope from all these combined did not compare to what he saw in front of him now.
zhèn fǎ míng wèi 【 tiān fān dì fù 】, bié kàn míng zì píng píng wú qí 、 kě yí dàn zhèn chéng , biàn zhēn néng niǔ zhuǎn yī fāng shì jiè tiān kōng yǔ dà dì 。 fán shì wú fǎ fēi xíng de shēng líng , jiē huì wú fǎ kòng zhì de zì dà dì zhuì xiàng tiān kōng 。 yào me shì zài zhuì luò de guò chéng zhōng , huó huó è sǐ 。 yào me jiù shì hōng rán zhuàng shàng shì jiè de biān jiè , fěn shēn suì gǔ 。
阵法名为【天翻地覆】,别看名字平平无奇、可一旦阵成,便真能扭转一方世界天空与大地。凡是无法飞行的生灵,皆会无法控制的自大地坠向天空。要么是在坠落的过程中,活活饿死。要么就是轰然撞上世界的边界,粉身碎骨。
He was no hesitant person.
ruò shì zhēn rú qí suǒ miáo shù de , nà me zhè zhèn fǎ dí què yǒu diǎn yì si 。 dàn lǐ fán jiāng qí dài rù jiě lí dié zhī zhōng , jìn xíng jiǎn yàn ……
若是真如其所描述的,那么这阵法的确有点意思。但李凡将其带入解离碟之中,进行检验……
Once a decision was made, it would be immediately acted upon.
què shì dé dào le cǐ zhèn gēn běn wú fǎ chéng xíng de jié guǒ 。
却是得到了此阵根本无法成型的结果。
At this moment, when Li Fan asked, the Third Emperor Mo knew there was nothing to hide. "To let the senior know, according to our clan's ancient memories, even the 'Ancient Primordial Form' that had merged with the Dao at the beginning of time could not easily cross feasibility."
「 huò xǔ zài mǒu gè gēn tuī yǎn shì jiè , wán quán yí zhì de kě néng xìng lǐ , cǐ zhèn néng gòu zhèng cháng yùn zhuàn 。 dàn zài dà dào quē shī 、 hù xiāng qīng yà de xiàn shì lǐ , què shì yùn xíng huán jìng bù fú le 。」
「或许在某个跟推衍世界,完全一致的可能性里,此阵能够正常运转。但在大道缺失、互相倾轧的现世里,却是运行环境不符了。」
"The Ancient Primordial Form can be compared to the realm of nameless true immortals among human cultivators. However, compared to human cultivators attaining enlightenment, the great Ancient Primordial Form was itself a manifestation and incarnation of the Great Dao. In terms of strength or understanding of the Dao, they were inherently superior. Except for certain super-strong individuals, most nameless true immortals could not match up to them."
suī rán wú fǎ ná lái jí yòng , dàn lǐ fán yě méi yǒu gǎn dào shī wàng 。
虽然无法拿来即用,但李凡也没有感到失望。
Even though he had decided to fully join Li Fan, the Third Emperor Mo did not beautify his words; instead, he recounted everything as per the clan's ancient memories.
「 diǎn míng liǎo mǒu zhǒng kě néng xìng , bù fú hé xiàn shí 。 què zhǐ yào jīng guò shì dàng de xiū gǎi , jiù kě yǐ yùn xíng 。」
「点明了某种可能性,不符合现实。却只要经过适当的修改,就可以运行。」
Li Fan listened without comment and gestured for him to continue.
「 qiáo shì dào zhǐ shì shēng cún zài xū nǐ de 【 shí dài 】 zhuāng zhì lǐ , duì xiàn shí de liǎo jiě 、 zhǐ yuán yú shí dài lǐ de jiàn wén , wèi bì yǒu cǐ děng néng lì 。 dàn wǒ què bù tóng 。」
「乔似道只是生存在虚拟的【时代】装置里,对现实的了解、只源于时代里的见闻,未必有此等能力。但我却不同。」
"The existence of the Ancient Primordial Form was both an advantage and a disadvantage. Because in the vastness of the Dao, some powerful Great Dao had not been manifested into forms."
shí hǎi zhōng , xiān zhèn jiě lí dié , guāng máng shǎn dòng 。
识海中,仙阵解离碟,光芒闪动。
"However, human cultivators were different. All existing natural laws could be refined and mastered by humans."
rú fā guāng jiāng hé bān de zhèn fǎ shù jù , cóng qiáo shì dào jì yì lǐ 、 bèi chōu qǔ zhì jiě lí dié zhōng 。
如发光江河般的阵法数据,从乔似道记忆里、被抽取至解离碟中。
The Third Emperor Mo's tone suddenly grew heavy.
shén hún wǎn ruò shòu dào qiān dāo wàn guǎ de kù xíng , qiáo shì dào bù yóu mèn hēng yī shēng 。 ruò fēi lǐ fán bāng tā wěn gù shén hún , kǒng pà cǐ jǔ jiù néng zhí jiē ràng tā hún fēi pò sàn 。
神魂宛若受到千刀万剐的酷刑,乔似道不由闷哼一声。若非李凡帮他稳固神魂,恐怕此举就能直接让他魂飞魄散。
"This is also where our clan's calamity began."
dàn qiáo shì dào yě bù kuì shì néng cóng wú jìn lún huí zhōng zhēng zhá 、 táo chū de rén wù , zhè zhī hòu jìng shì shǐ zhōng yī shēng bù kēng 。 shèn zhì hái màn màn xí guàn le zhè kǔ nàn shì dé , liǎn sè zhú jiàn huī fù rú cháng 。
但乔似道也不愧是能从无尽轮回中挣扎、逃出的人物,这之后竟是始终一声不吭。甚至还慢慢习惯了这苦难似得,脸色逐渐恢复如常。
"In our original world, the number of human cultivators was far less than us. Most humans were treated like pets or food. We monopolized cultivation methods; only those who obeyed could cultivate and become our allies to suppress humanity..."
bìng méi yǒu xiāo hào tài duō de shí jiān 。
并没有消耗太多的时间。
The Third Emperor Mo slowly recounted the secrets of the beast clan.
jīng yóu jiě lí dié de zhuǎn huà , qiáo shì dào jì yì zhōng de wú shù zhèn fǎ , jiē yóu xū jiǎ zhī zhèn 、 biàn chéng le fú hé xiàn shí huán jìng de zhēn shí zhī zhèn !
经由解离碟的转化,乔似道记忆中的无数阵法,皆由虚假之阵、变成了符合现实环境的真实之阵!
Unconsciously, the absorbed Third Emperor Mo listened intently. This history had never been experienced by him in his countless cycles through time. Hearing that humans were merely food for beasts, he frowned slightly. He had been cared for by the Third Emperor Mo for a long time but had never heard this story.
lǐ fán fǎn shǒu , jiù jiāng jiě lí dié tuī yǎn de jié lùn , chóng xīn shū chū gěi qiáo shì dào 。
李凡反手,就将解离碟推衍的结论,重新输出给乔似道。
Li Fan's expression remained unchanged.
mǐn ruì de chá
敏锐的察
"We are not shortsighted or unintelligent. From the human cultivators who submitted to us, we saw the terrifying potential within their bodies and thus further tightened our control over them."
jué dào le lǐ fán chuán lái de zhèn fǎ , gēn zì jǐ suǒ xué 、 suǒ zhī de bù tóng , qiáo shì dào xiān shì shén qíng wēi zhēng , ér hòu nán yǐ yì zhì de jī dòng qǐ lái 。
觉到了李凡传来的阵法,跟自己所学、所知的不同,乔似道先是神情微怔,而后难以抑制的激动起来。
"According to normal historical development, in theory, there was no possibility for humans to rise on our homeland."
qiáo shì dào hái néng huí yì qǐ , zì jǐ jīng lì wú shù lún huí hòu , zài shí dài zhōng jiū jìng shì yǒu duō me de qiáng dà 。 néng gòu kān pò tiān dì jiān zuì dà ào mì , pò jú ér chū 。 dàn yī lái dào xiàn shí shì jiè zhōng , jí zhì de fǎn chà , què shì yī shí jiān ràng tā nán yǐ jiē shòu 。
乔似道还能回忆起,自己经历无数轮回后,在时代中究竟是有多么的强大。能够勘破天地间最大奥秘,破局而出。但一来到现实世界中,极致的反差,却是一时间让他难以接受。
"And indeed, that's how it turned out. Because of a massive variable from outside the realm of possibilities!"
cuì ruò dào fǎng fú suí biàn yī zhèn fēng , dōu néng jiāng tā de shén hún gěi chuī miè 。 qiáo shì dào zhī dào , zhè jiù shì 【 shí dài 】 gēn xiàn shí de chā bié 。
脆弱到仿佛随便一阵风,都能将他的神魂给吹灭。乔似道知道,这就是【时代】跟现实的差别。
The Third Emperor Mo spoke with some resignation.
dàn xiàn zài ……
但现在……
Upon hearing this, Li Fan seemed to understand something and his eyes flashed with insight.
jiè yóu yǎn qián zhè wèi shén mì mò cè de qián bèi suǒ chuán lái de , liǎng zhǒng zhèn fǎ zhī jiān de biàn huà , qiáo shì dào yǐn yǐn jiān , hǎo sì kàn qīng chǔ le cǐ zhǒng chà bié jù tǐ suǒ zài 。
借由眼前这位神秘莫测的前辈所传来的,两种阵法之间的变化,乔似道隐隐间,好似看清楚了此种差别具体所在。
"Then one day, an unknown true immortal suddenly descended upon us."
「 yī fǎ tōng , wàn fǎ tōng 。 zhǐ yào gěi wǒ yì diǎn shí jiān , wǒ yīng gāi néng jiāng yī shēn suǒ xué , jìn shù wán chéng zhuǎn huà 。」 qiáo shì dào tān lán de jí qǔ zhe lǐ fán suǒ chuán lái de zhī shí , yī shí jiān jìng rán wàng jì xiàng lǐ fán zhì xiè 。
「一法通,万法通。只要给我一点时间,我应该能将一身所学,尽数完成转化。」乔似道贪婪的汲取着李凡所传来的知识,一时间竟然忘记向李凡致谢。
"He witnessed the plight of humans and began a frenzied slaughter and revenge."
lǐ fán yě bù yǐ yì 。 tā yě kàn chū le qiáo shì dào cǐ kè zhèng zài wù dào zhī zhōng 。
李凡也不以意。他也看出了乔似道此刻正在悟道之中。
"At first, there were thirteen Ancient Primordial Forms in our clan. However, after fighting against that nameless true immortal, most of them died or were injured..."
zhè dào shén hún , guǒ rán méi yǒu ràng tā shī wàng 。
这道神魂,果然没有让他失望。
Although the Third Emperor Mo's tone was calm, Li Fan could see the deep fear hidden within.
kě kān yī yòng !
可堪一用!
"That nameless true immortal, although severely wounded and retreated, took away the five bodies of the Ancient Primordial Forms he had slaughtered. If he refined these bodies to extract the Great Dao, our clan would certainly face its end."
lǐ fán zhuǎn ér wèn qǐ dì sān mò , kāi shǐ le shàng yī shì 、 liǎng rén zhī jiān wèi wán chéng de duì huà 。
李凡转而问起帝三貘,开始了上一世、两人之间未完成的对话。
"The remaining forms, after exhausting countless possibilities, failed to find a way for us to win. Thus, in despair, we could only choose to escape."
「 jiū jìng yào hé děng shí lì , cái néng kuà yuè kě xíng xìng ?」
「究竟要何等实力,才能跨越可行性?」
"However, as I said earlier, crossing possibility at the beginning of time was too difficult. Although we don't know how that nameless true immortal managed it, based on our calculations and derivations, even if all eight remaining forms sacrificed themselves, most of us couldn't escape."
「 shèng shòu shān zhōng , suǒ yùn hán de zhè néng liàng , yòu jiū jìng shì hé wù ?」
「圣兽山中,所蕴含的这能量,又究竟是何物?」
"In the end, only one could escape!"
lǐ fán yī biān shuō zhe , yī biān yòu yǐ zhēn jiǎ zhī biàn , biàn huàn chū yī tuán gǔ tóng sè de néng liàng xiǎo qiú 。 cháo zhe dì sān mò rēng qù 。
李凡一边说着,一边又以真假之变,变幻出一团古铜色的能量小球。朝着帝三貘扔去。
Li Fan's mind flashed with images of the First Emperor.
lǐ fán de liǎng jù huà , yǐ jīng ràng zhè wèi cháng shēng zhī shòu , zài jīng guò wú bǐ de zhèn jīng hòu 、 biàn dé yǒu xiē jǐn zhāng 。
李凡的两句话,已经让这位长生之兽,在经过无比的震惊后、变得有些紧张。
"Unification of myriad phenomena into one?"
ér dāng tā tān lán de jiāng zhè jīng chún wú bǐ de néng liàng xī rù tǐ nèi , gǎn shòu dào shēn tǐ měi gè jiǎo luò , dōu chuán lái de fù sū gǎn zhī hòu 。 dì sān mò què dìng le , yǎn qián zhè wèi , dìng rán yǐ jīng dá dào le chuán shuō zhōng de nà yī bù 。
而当他贪婪的将这精纯无比的能量吸入体内,感受到身体每个角落,都传来的复苏感之后。帝三貘确定了,眼前这位,定然已经达到了传说中的那一步。
The Third Emperor Mo nodded.
huò xǔ shì zhè jù shēn qū , yǐ jīng tài guò cāng lǎo yǔ fǔ xiǔ 。 bèi tā tūn xià de zhì chún zhì zhèng de 【 jīng gǔ cāng yuán 】, jìng rán zài huǎn màn de bù tíng liú shì 。 zuì zhōng zhǐ yǒu shǎo liàng cán yú 。
或许是这具身躯,已经太过苍老与腐朽。被他吞下的至纯至正的【精古苍源】,竟然在缓慢的不停流逝。最终只有少量残余。
"Our clan evolved from the Ancient Primordial Forms. At that time, to maintain a thread of survival, we had no choice but to refine and revert to ancient ways."
dàn jí biàn jiù shì zhè diǎn , duì tā lái shuō , yě shì yì yì zhòng dà 。 zuì qǐ mǎ , yòu néng yán shòu wàn nián 。
但即便就是这点,对他来说,也是意义重大。最起码,又能延寿万年。
"To ensure the integrity of our surviving clan in the future."
gèng guān jiàn de shì , tā kě shì qīn yǎn kàn dào , yǎn qián zhè wèi qián bèi , fǎng fú biàn xì fǎ yì bān 、 bù tíng dì cuī shēng chū 【 jīng gǔ cāng yuán 】 de 。
更关键的是,他可是亲眼看到,眼前这位前辈,仿佛变戏法一般、不停地催生出【精古苍源】的。
"Countless members willingly or unwillingly entered the giant furnace."
zhè yuán běn yòng yī fèn , shǎo yī fèn de shén wù 。 ruò shì néng qǔ zhī bù jìn yòng zhī bù jié ……
这原本用一份,少一份的神物。若是能取之不尽用之不竭……
"In the end, they merged into the First Emperor." The Third Emperor Mo said calmly.
chà nà jiān , dì sān mò de nǎo hǎi zhōng shǎn guò wú shù niàn tou 。
刹那间,帝三貘的脑海中闪过无数念头。
"It's a pity that among the most primitive and powerful Ancient Primordial Forms, five were already lost."
dàn zuì zhōng dōu zhǐ huà zuò zuì wèi jiān dìng de yí gè 。
但最终都只化作最为坚定的一个。
"And seven more contributed themselves to cross possibility, dissipating in the process."
wú lùn rú hé , yě yào liú zài zhè wèi qián bèi de shēn páng !
无论如何,也要留在这位前辈的身旁!
"Only one of the thirteen Ancient Primordial Forms remained. Our clan could never again achieve the glory of ancient times." The Third Emperor Mo spoke with some melancholy.
wèi le shēng cún , shì zì shēn de 、 yì huò zhě shì zhěng gè zú qún de 。 dì sān mò duō cì zhàn duì zhì bù tóng de rén shēn páng 。
为了生存,是自身的、亦或者是整个族群的。帝三貘多次站队至不同的人身旁。
"Seven Ancient Primordial Forms can jump timelines?" Li Fan did not pay attention to the Third Emperor Mo's emotions and narrowed his eyes.
zuì chū shì dì yī , hòu lái shì yù shòu zōng , zài hòu lái zé shì chuán fǎ tiān zūn 。
最初是帝一,后来是御兽宗,再后来则是传法天尊。
"It was an old debt from the beginning of time. After the calamity, the upper limit for crossing possibility became increasingly lower." The Third Emperor Mo waved his hand, and countless illusions appeared in front of the Numinous South Mountain ruins, just like what Li Fan had seen in the Realm of Annihilation.
dì sān mò cóng suǒ yǒu zhè xiē jiā qǐ lái , kàn dào de xī wàng 。 dōu bù rú cǐ kè zài miàn qián zhī rén shēn shàng kàn dào de dà 。
帝三貘从所有这些加起来,看到的希望。都不如此刻在面前之人身上看到的大。
"Thus, we always sought a way to escape the realm of possibilities."
tā bìng bú shì yóu yóu yù yù zhī bèi 。
他并不是犹犹豫豫之辈。
"The 'Primordial Ancient Green Source' is our discovery."
yí dàn jué dìng , jiù lì kè zhuǎn huà shí jì xíng dòng 。
一旦决定,就立刻转化实际行动。
Li Fan extended his hand again, and the small ball of ancient copper-colored energy reappeared.
cǐ kè lǐ fán xún wèn , dì sān mò zhī bù wú yán yán wú bù jìn 。
此刻李凡询问,帝三貘知不无言言无不尽。
"'Primordial Ancient Green Source'?" Li Fan pondered.
「 hǎo jiào qián bèi zhī xiǎo , gēn jù wǒ men zú qún gǔ lǎo jì yì de chuán chéng 。 zài cāng máng de tài gǔ zhī chū , jí biàn shì shēn yǔ dào hé de 【 tài gǔ dào xíng 】, yě wú fǎ qīng yì tiào yuè kě néng xíng 。」
「好叫前辈知晓,根据我们族群古老记忆的传承。在苍茫的太古之初,即便是身与道合的【太古道形】,也无法轻易跳跃可能行。」
"This is how we call it as a clan. In fact, among human cultivators, there should be another name for it. Because this thing was actually discovered in the ruins of human cultivators." The Third Emperor Mo explained in detail.
「 tài gǔ dào xíng , ruò shì lèi bǐ , kě kàn zuò rén lèi xiū shì zhōng 【 wú míng zhēn xiān 】 zhī jìng 。 dàn xiāng jiào yú rén lèi xiū shì wù dào , wěi dà de tài gǔ dào xíng , běn jiù shì dà dào zì shēn yǎn shēng 、 huà xíng 。 wú lùn shì shí lì , yì huò zhě duì dào de gǎn wù , xiān tiān dōu yào qiáng shàng yī chóu 。 chú le mǒu xiē zhì qiáng zhě , dà bù fèn wú míng zhēn xiān 、 shì bǐ bù guò tài gǔ dào xíng de 。」 jí biàn yǐ jīng dǎ suàn chè dǐ tóu bèn lǐ fán , dàn dì sān mò yě méi yǒu yīn cǐ měi huà , zhǐ shì àn zhào chuán chéng zhōng de jì yì 、 yì wǔ yì shí de shuō dào 。
「太古道形,若是类比,可看做人类修士中【无名真仙】之境。但相较于人类修士悟道,伟大的太古道形,本就是大道自身衍生、化形。无论是实力,亦或者对道的感悟,先天都要强上一筹。除了某些至强者,大部分无名真仙、是比不过太古道形的。」即便已经打算彻底投奔李凡,但帝三貘也没有因此美化,只是按照传承中的记忆、一五一十的说道。
"We obtained the mask that sealed the Primordial Ancient Green Source and the key to activate its restrictions from the ruins."
lǐ fán tīng zhe , yě shì bù zhì kě fǒu 。 shì yì dì sān mò jì xù jiǎng xià qù 。
李凡听着,也是不置可否。示意帝三貘继续讲下去。
"Is this place in the Vast Green World?" Li Fan's eyes shone with interest.

「太古道形的存在,是优势、也是劣势。因为天地大道中,某些强横的大道,并没有衍化成道形。并且由于先天性质的排斥,也永远失去了感悟这些大道的机会。」
The Third Emperor Mo nodded: "Each possibility has slight differences in name and location. But at least, we can find it within this general area after experiencing them."

Vagueness and uncertainty, indeed, did not let him down.
It was truly usable!
Turning to the enigmatic Third Emperor Mo, Li Fan began their unfinished dialogue from their previous life.
"How much power is needed to cross feasibility?"
"What kind of energy does the Sacred Beast Mountain contain?"
As he spoke, Li Fan conjured a small ball of ancient copper-colored energy and threw it at the Third Emperor Mo.
His two sentences had already caused this long-lived beast, after an immense shock, to become somewhat nervous. After greedily absorbing this extremely pure energy into his body and feeling the revival throughout every corner of his being, the Third Emperor Mo confirmed that before him was indeed someone who had reached the legendary stage.
Perhaps due to the age and decay of this body, the originally pure and genuine 'Primordial Ancient Green Source' he consumed was slowly dissipating. Only a small amount remained.
But even with just a little bit, it meant an additional ten thousand years of life for him at least. More crucially, he had personally witnessed how the Third Emperor Mo seemed to conjure up 'Primordial Ancient Green Source' out of thin air.
If this substance could be inexhaustible...
Instantly, countless thoughts flashed through his mind.
But ultimately, only one remained firm and resolute.
No matter what, he must stay by the side of this senior!
For survival, whether it was for himself or the entire clan. The Third Emperor Mo had repeatedly stood by different people's sides.
Initially with the First Emperor, then the Beast Taming Sect, and later the Teaching Immortal.
The hope from all these combined did not compare to what he saw in front of him now.
He was no hesitant person.
Once a decision was made, it would be immediately acted upon.
At this moment, when Li Fan asked, the Third Emperor Mo knew there was nothing to hide. "To let the senior know, according to our clan's ancient memories, even the 'Ancient Primordial Form' that had merged with the Dao at the beginning of time could not easily cross feasibility."
"The Ancient Primordial Form can be compared to the realm of nameless true immortals among human cultivators. However, compared to human cultivators attaining enlightenment, the great Ancient Primordial Form was itself a manifestation and incarnation of the Great Dao. In terms of strength or understanding of the Dao, they were inherently superior. Except for certain super-strong individuals, most nameless true immortals could not match up to them."
Even though he had decided to fully join Li Fan, the Third Emperor Mo did not beautify his words; instead, he recounted everything as per the clan's ancient memories.
Li Fan listened without comment and gestured for him to continue.
"The existence of the Ancient Primordial Form was both an advantage and a disadvantage. Because in the vastness of the Dao, some powerful Great Dao had not been manifested into forms."
"However, human cultivators were different. All existing natural laws could be refined and mastered by humans."
The Third Emperor Mo's tone suddenly grew heavy.
"This is also where our clan's calamity began."
"In our original world, the number of human cultivators was far less than us. Most humans were treated like pets or food. We monopolized cultivation methods; only those who obeyed could cultivate and become our allies to suppress humanity..."
The Third Emperor Mo slowly recounted the secrets of the beast clan.
Unconsciously, the absorbed Third Emperor Mo listened intently. This history had never been experienced by him in his countless cycles through time. Hearing that humans were merely food for beasts, he frowned slightly. He had been cared for by the Third Emperor Mo for a long time but had never heard this story.
Li Fan's expression remained unchanged.
"We are not shortsighted or unintelligent. From the human cultivators who submitted to us, we saw the terrifying potential within their bodies and thus further tightened our control over them."
"According to normal historical development, in theory, there was no possibility for humans to rise on our homeland."
"And indeed, that's how it turned out. Because of a massive variable from outside the realm of possibilities!"
The Third Emperor Mo spoke with some resignation.
Upon hearing this, Li Fan seemed to understand something and his eyes flashed with insight.
"Then one day, an unknown true immortal suddenly descended upon us."
"He witnessed the plight of humans and began a frenzied slaughter and revenge."
"At first, there were thirteen Ancient Primordial Forms in our clan. However, after fighting against that nameless true immortal, most of them died or were injured..."
Although the Third Emperor Mo's tone was calm, Li Fan could see the deep fear hidden within.
"That nameless true immortal, although severely wounded and retreated, took away the five bodies of the Ancient Primordial Forms he had slaughtered. If he refined these bodies to extract the Great Dao, our clan would certainly face its end."
"The remaining forms, after exhausting countless possibilities, failed to find a way for us to win. Thus, in despair, we could only choose to escape."
"However, as I said earlier, crossing possibility at the beginning of time was too difficult. Although we don't know how that nameless true immortal managed it, based on our calculations and derivations, even if all eight remaining forms sacrificed themselves, most of us couldn't escape."
"In the end, only one could escape!"
Li Fan's mind flashed with images of the First Emperor.
"Unification of myriad phenomena into one?"
The Third Emperor Mo nodded.
"Our clan evolved from the Ancient Primordial Forms. At that time, to maintain a thread of survival, we had no choice but to refine and revert to ancient ways."
"To ensure the integrity of our surviving clan in the future."
"Countless members willingly or unwillingly entered the giant furnace."
"In the end, they merged into the First Emperor." The Third Emperor Mo said calmly.
"It's a pity that among the most primitive and powerful Ancient Primordial Forms, five were already lost."
"And seven more contributed themselves to cross possibility, dissipating in the process."
"Only one of the thirteen Ancient Primordial Forms remained. Our clan could never again achieve the glory of ancient times." The Third Emperor Mo spoke with some melancholy.
"Seven Ancient Primordial Forms can jump timelines?" Li Fan did not pay attention to the Third Emperor Mo's emotions and narrowed his eyes.
"It was an old debt from the beginning of time. After the calamity, the upper limit for crossing possibility became increasingly lower." The Third Emperor Mo waved his hand, and countless illusions appeared in front of the Numinous South Mountain ruins, just like what Li Fan had seen in the Realm of Annihilation.
"Thus, we always sought a way to escape the realm of possibilities."
"The 'Primordial Ancient Green Source' is our discovery."
Li Fan extended his hand again, and the small ball of ancient copper-colored energy reappeared.
"'Primordial Ancient Green Source'?" Li Fan pondered.
"This is how we call it as a clan. In fact, among human cultivators, there should be another name for it. Because this thing was actually discovered in the ruins of human cultivators." The Third Emperor Mo explained in detail.
"We obtained the mask that sealed the Primordial Ancient Green Source and the key to activate its restrictions from the ruins."
"Is this place in the Vast Green World?" Li Fan's eyes shone with interest.
The Third Emperor Mo nodded: "Each possibility has slight differences in name and location. But at least, we can find it within this general area after experiencing them."
"It seems you've escaped more than once." Li Fan stared intently at the Third Emperor Mo.
"Time and number of attempts don't matter much before countless possibilities."
