sī tú xīng kǔ xiào ：「 suǒ wèi yī shān bù róng èr hǔ 。 zhū duō wú míng huì jù yī jiè ， běn jiù shì jiàn bù kě sī yì zhī shì 。 ér néng ràng wǒ men dāng nián nà qún rén wéi rào tóng yī rén zuǒ yòu ， bǐ cǐ jiān chēng xiōng dào dì 。 hái néng wéi chí guān xì wěn dìng ， gèng shì fěi yí suǒ sī ……」
司徒星苦笑：「所谓一山不容二虎。诸多无名汇聚一界，本就是件不可思议之事。而能让我们当年那群人围绕同一人左右，彼此间称兄道弟。还能维持关系稳定，更是匪夷所思……」
Starright pondered deeply, savoring the four words in his heart: "Ascension to the Heavens." Indeed, it was too extreme and crazy.
「 yóu qí shì luò yì chén ， hái yǒu jī yǔ zhēn nà liǎng gè niáng men 。 zài shàng jiè jiù yǐ jīng shì sǐ duì tou le 。」
「尤其是洛逸尘，还有姬予祯那两个娘们。在上界就已经是死对头了。」
No wonder the True Immortals stationed in the experimental field space, including Qing Yin and Lingxian, had all decided to retreat after learning about this plan. The power of an Immortal came from mountains and seas, but Tianluo Emperor wanted to transcend them with the strength of one world.
kàn zhe lǐ fán ráo yǒu xìng qù de shén qíng ， sī tú xīng jiē zhe shuō dào ：「 luò yì chén zài xiān jiè hào wèi 【 qīng xī shén mǔ 】， xíng shì fēng gé ma ， gēn tā zài xuán huáng jiè zhōng 、 yù dào xuān yuán hóng zhī qián yī yàng 。 hǎo yǎng miàn shǒu ， bìng qiě bù lùn nán nǚ 。 ruò dà xīng yù ， jiē wèi tā qún xià zhī chén 。」
看着李凡饶有兴趣的神情，司徒星接着说道：「洛逸尘在仙界号为【清溪神母】，行事风格嘛，跟她在玄黄界中、遇到轩辕宏之前一样。好养面首，并且不论男女。偌大星域，皆为她裙下之臣。」
Even if there was some backing, it seemed a bit too far-fetched. But given that Tianluo Emperor could become the ruler of the True Immortal realm, he must have made careful calculations before making such a decision. At least in his view, there was a high chance of success.
「 ér jī yǔ zhēn ， zài shàng jiè de míng zì ， tóng yàng shì jī yǔ zhēn 。 jù chuán ， jī yǔ zhēn běn shì qīng xī xīng yù zhōng tǔ shēng tǔ zhǎng zhī rén ， cóng xiǎo shòu dào qí nèi dú tè shì fèng fēn wéi xūn táo ， bìng qiě shēn xìn bù yí 、 sǐ xīn tā dì 。 bù guò jī yuán qiǎo hé zhī xià ， tā yǒu yī rì dé yǐ lí kāi le qīng xī xīng yù ， lái dào le zhèng cháng xiān xiāng zhì xià xīng yù 。 jù dà de fǎn chà ， shǐ de tā xīn tài niǔ qū ， zì cǐ yóu jìng zhuǎn hèn ……」
「而姬予祯，在上界的名字，同样是姬予祯。据传，姬予祯本是清溪星域中土生土长之人，从小受到其内独特侍奉氛围熏陶，并且深信不疑、死心塌地。不过机缘巧合之下，她有一日得以离开了清溪星域，来到了正常仙相治下星域。巨大的反差，使得她心态扭曲，自此由敬转恨……」
"Why would Tianluo Emperor think he could surpass mountains and seas when the entire immortal realm was trembling under the Great Drowning?" Starright's curiosity surged.
sī tú xīng dùn le dùn ， yóu yù le piàn kè ， hái shì bǔ chōng dào ：「 wǒ shàng jiè běn zūn jì yì ， yǒu xiē cán quē 。 rú cǐ tīng wén zhǒng zhǒng ， wèi bì shì zhēn 。 bù guò tā liǎng yǒu yī duàn bù wéi rén zhī de jiū gé jué duì shì zhēn 。 dāng shí ， wǒ men hái qí guài ， wèi hé zhè liǎng rén fǎng fú tiān shēng jiù yǒu mò dà chóu yuàn 。」
司徒星顿了顿，犹豫了片刻，还是补充道：「我上界本尊记忆，有些残缺。如此听闻种种，未必是真。不过她两有一段不为人知的纠葛绝对是真。当时，我们还奇怪，为何这两人仿佛天生就有莫大仇怨。」
However, this question likely wouldn't be answered anytime soon.
「 hòu lái ， jī yǔ zhēn xiān yī bù jué xǐng běn wǒ yì shí ， zhí jiē dòng shǒu 、 jiù yào jiāng luò yì chén gěi shā le 。 hái hǎo xuān yuán hóng jí shí chū shǒu ， jiāng qí lán xià 。」
「后来，姬予祯先一步觉醒本我意识，直接动手、就要将洛逸尘给杀了。还好轩辕宏及时出手，将其拦下。」
"Then you believe that all the immortals in the universe are blameless for the occurrence of the Great Drowning?" After some thought, Starright redirected the conversation.
「 wǒ xiàn zài hái jì de ， dāng shí jī yǔ zhēn de yǎn shén 。 hē hē ……」 sī tú xīng zé shé dào 。
「我现在还记得，当时姬予祯的眼神。呵呵……」司徒星咋舌道。
Starright's stance was clear.
「 bù dé bù shuō ， xuān yuán hóng dàng zhēn yǒu xiē běn shì 。 bù jǐn tā zài de shí hòu ， néng gòu wéi chí liǎng nǚ píng héng 。 děng tā xiāo shī zhī hòu ， jī yǔ zhēn gēn luò yì chén zhī jiān ， jū rán hái hé píng xiāng chǔ le yī duàn shí jiān 。 zhí dào duì chǔ lǐ xuān yuán hóng yǒu zhe bù tóng de yì jiàn ， liǎng rén cái yòu zhú jiàn pò liè 。」
「不得不说，轩辕宏当真有些本事。不仅他在的时候，能够维持两女平衡。等他消失之后，姬予祯跟洛逸尘之间，居然还和平相处了一段时间。直到对处理轩辕宏有着不同的意见，两人才又逐渐破裂。」
Glancing at the nearby Pillar of Heaven, Starright hesitated several times before finally answering: "Not just me. Most True Immortals probably hold this view as well. And in fact, it is true. Whether we use infinite immortal power or not, the Infinite Sea will always be there."
「 luò yì chén rèn wéi zì jǐ gēn nà bǎo wù zhōng jiū wú yuán ， ér qiě qīng xī xīng yù shàng méi yǒu bèi dào yān bō jí ， què yǐ jīng jí jí kě wēi 。 gù ér tā xuǎn zé fǎn huí xiān jiè ， táo nàn ér qù 。」
「落逸尘认为自己跟那宝物终究无缘，而且清溪星域尚没有被道湮波及，却已经岌岌可危。故而她选择返回仙界，逃难而去。」
"Mountain and sea integration is a macro trend that cannot be reversed by a single path of thought. If someone really made a mistake..."
「 ér jī yǔ zhēn zé shì xuǎn zé gēn jù zhuī zōng xuān yuán hóng liú xià de xiàn suǒ 。 tā jiān xìn ， xuān yuán hóng shì bú huì jiù zhè yàng diū xià tā de 。」
「而姬予祯则是选择根据追踪轩辕宏留下的线索。她坚信，轩辕宏是不会就这样丢下她的。」
"Perhaps from the beginning, the birth of immortals was a mistake."
sī tú xīng kǔ xiào ：「 jī yǔ zhēn zài shàng jiè de zhí niù xìng qíng ， yě shì pǒ wèi chū míng 。」
司徒星苦笑：「姬予祯在上界的执拗性情，也是颇为出名。」
"Since the birth of immortals with the help of the 'Linked Mountains,' the approach of the Infinite Sea became inevitable."
lǐ fán xiǎng qǐ dōng yǒng zhōu huán xíng shān zhōng ， yóu dàng de yì wàn jī yǔ zhēn zhī hún 。 wēi wēi sǒng le sǒng méi máo ：「 jī yǔ zhēn bú shì sǐ le me ？」
李凡想起东永洲环形山中，游荡的亿万姬予祯之魂。微微耸了耸眉毛：「姬予祯不是死了么？」
Starright had some resolve.
shuō zhe tā dà shǒu yī huī ， jiāng xuán huáng jiè zhōng dōng yǒng zhōu xiàn zài qíng jǐng zhǎn xiàn gěi sī tú xīng kàn 。
说着他大手一挥，将玄黄界中东永州现在情景展现给司徒星看。
Facing Starright's intimidating gaze, he did not change his stance. He said frankly: "These nameless True Immortals, after achieving enlightenment and walking away, do they really have no responsibility?"
sī tú xìng wén yán ， zuì chū yě shì chī le yī jīng 。 bù guò zài guān chá le yī zhèn hòu ， tā wēi wēi yáo tóu ：「 jī yǔ zhēn ， xiū xíng de fǎ mén ， jiù zhù dìng tā bú huì nà me róng yì yǔn luò 。 zhè xiē yì wàn fēn hún ， bāo kuò zhōng yāng yǐn cáng de nà dào yuán shǐ zhī hún ， jī hū quán dōu shì gēn xuān yuán hóng yǒu guān de jì yì 。 yīng gāi shì bèi tā gù yì shě qù de 。」
司徒性闻言，最初也是吃了一惊。不过在观察了一阵后，他微微摇头：「姬予祯，修行的法门，就注定她不会那么容易陨落。这些亿万分魂，包括中央隐藏的那道原始之魂，几乎全都是跟轩辕宏有关的记忆。应该是被她故意舍去的。」
With a wave of his hand, five ghostly figures of the Pillar of Altars appeared around him, presenting themselves to Starright.
「 nà dōng yǒng zhōu ， yě zhèng shì xuān yuán hóng fēi shēng hòu qù ér fù fǎn ， xún zhǎo yù jiàn tā de dì fāng 。 dà dǐ shì xiǎng zhe ， jiāng tā duì xuān yuán hóng de qíng sī ， quán dōu zhǎn duàn bà 。」
「那东永州，也正是轩辕宏飞升后去而复返，寻找遇见她的地方。大抵是想着，将她对轩辕宏的情思，全都斩断罢。」
"Even if you didn't become a pillar, could you leave behind a virtual image like the Pillar of Altars?"
bù kuì shì céng jīng de wú míng zhēn xiān 。 jǐn jǐn shì tōng guò lǐ fán jiān jiē zhǎn xiàn de guāng yǐng ， jiù kàn chū le nà yì wàn fēn hún de xū shí 。
不愧是曾经的无名真仙。仅仅是通过李凡间接展现的光影，就看出了那亿万分魂的虚实。
The name "Pillar of Altars" was indeed extraordinary.
「 nán guài ， wǒ zài zhè xiē fēn hún jì yì zhōng suǒ jiàn dào de huà miàn ， wú yī méi yǒu xuān yuán hóng 。」
「难怪，我在这些分魂记忆中所见到的画面，无一没有轩辕宏。」
Seeing these suddenly appearing ghostly figures, Starright felt as though he had been struck by lightning. His body trembled uncontrollably.
lǐ fán xīn zhōng duì sī tú xīng de pàn duàn ， yǐ rán shì xiāng xìn le jǐ fēn 。
李凡心中对司徒星的判断，已然是相信了几分。
After calming down, he respectfully bowed to the ghostly figures.
「 dāng nián nǐ men shí èr fǎ wáng ， jiū jìng yǒu duō shǎo shì zhēn sǐ 。 yǒu duō shǎo shì zì jǐ zhǔ dòng xiāo shī de ？」
「当年你们十二法王，究竟有多少是真死。有多少是自己主动消失的？」
"There was a discussion in the immortal realm about this issue from the beginning," Starright said after some thought.
sī tú xīng xīn zhōng jué de ， yǎn qián zhè wèi qián bèi ， sì hū duì xī rì xuán tiān jiào de shì yǒu xiē guò fèn gǎn xìng qù le 。
司徒星心中觉得，眼前这位前辈，似乎对昔日玄天教的事有些过分感兴趣了。
"The integration of mountains and seas is an irreversible macro trend that cannot be reversed by just one or two paths. In fact, adding or subtracting a path does not significantly impact the overall timeline. Just like the shelter built here with two Pillars of Heaven, it currently seems safe, but in reality..."
「 nán bù chéng ， tā hòu lái yù jiàn le wǒ men shí èr rén zhōng de mǒu yī wèi ？」
「难不成，他后来遇见了我们十二人中的某一位？」
"Eventually, destruction will come."
zhè bān xiǎng zhe ， què ài yú shēn biān liǎng gēn tiān zhù de wēi shè ， sī tú xīng yī jiù lǎo lǎo shí shí huí dá ：「 é ， sī kōng lǐn dà dǐ shì zhēn de sǐ le 。 shòu dào xiān jiè dào yān zhī jié de yǐng xiǎng ， běn zūn yān miè ， fēn shēn yě shì zāo shòu zhòng chuāng 。 jī zhòng nán fǎn ， yīng wú huí tiān zhī lì 。 zhōu yáng lǐ gēn cuī zhī yuān ， běn zūn yě jué duì shì shòu dào yǐng xiǎng de 。 dàn bù què dìng táo méi táo chū lái 。」
这般想着，却碍于身边两根天柱的威慑，司徒星依旧老老实实回答：「额，司空凛大抵是真的死了。受到仙界道湮之劫的影响，本尊湮灭，分身也是遭受重创。积重难返，应无回天之力。周扬礼跟崔知渊，本尊也绝对是受到影响的。但不确定逃没逃出来。」
"Perhaps we can delay it for some time, but ultimately, it's useless."
「 zhì yú qí tā rén me ……」
「至于其他人么……」
"We cannot completely deny the path to True Immortalhood just because of this matter. Moreover, if we achieve namelessness and a small transcendence, or even true transcendence, leaping over mountains and seas, maybe we could truly find a way to stop their integration."
「 jiù bú shì wǒ néng chuǎi cè de le 。」
「就不是我能揣测的了。」
Starright spoke with firm conviction, his words becoming faster.
lǐ fán zhǐ le zhǐ zhì àn xīng hǎi dì xià àn hé suǒ zài fāng xiàng ：「 nǐ ne ？ nǐ zěn me yòu huì luò rù zhè bān chǔ jìng ？」
李凡指了指至暗星海地下暗河所在方向：「你呢？你怎么又会落入这般处境？」
His eyes were resolute, as if this was what he truly believed in.
sī tú xīng wén yán ， yǒu xiē gān gà ：「 wǒ běn zūn yì shí ， jué xǐng de zuì wǎn 。 zhí dào xuān yuán hóng xiāo shī zhī qián ， wǒ dōu méi néng huī fù běn lái yì shí 。 dāng chū bìng bù néng lǐ jiě zài wǒ men dāng zhōng fā shēng de mǒu xiē shì qíng 。 yī rán zūn xún xuān yuán hóng de mìng lìng ， zài xīng hǎi zhī xià ， juān kè 【 shēng líng zhī xíng 】。 ér wǒ jí shǎo gēn qí tā rén jìn xíng jiāo liú ， tā men jiù suàn jué xǐng le běn zūn yì shí ， yě bù què dìng wǒ de zhēn shí shēn fèn 。 shèn zhì dōu bù què dìng wǒ shì bú shì xià jiè zhēn xiān ……」
司徒星闻言，有些尴尬：「我本尊意识，觉醒的最晚。直到轩辕宏消失之前，我都没能恢复本来意识。当初并不能理解在我们当中发生的某些事情。依然遵循轩辕宏的命令，在星海之下，镌刻【生灵之形】。而我极少跟其他人进行交流，他们就算觉醒了本尊意识，也不确定我的真实身份。甚至都不确定我是不是下界真仙……」
"Hmph. Placing hope on an uncertain future."
「 zài zhì àn xīng hǎi xià gàn le méi duō jiǔ ， běn zūn jiù bēi cǎn yǔn luò ， wǒ yě zāo shòu bō jí 。 néng gòu miǎn qiǎng bǎo liú shén shí bù sàn ， yǐ jīng shì wàn xìng le 。」 sī tú xīng tàn le kǒu qì 。
「在至暗星海下干了没多久，本尊就悲惨陨落，我也遭受波及。能够勉强保留神识不散，已经是万幸了。」司徒星叹了口气。
"Now that the immortal realm has been destroyed, countless transcendent True Immortals have found a way to save the world, haven't they?" Starright asked.
「 rú cǐ shuō lái ， nǐ zhè fēn shēn ， dào yě suàn shì zhōng xīn gěng gěng 。」 lǐ fán dǎ liàng zhe shuō dào 。
「如此说来，你这分身，倒也算是忠心耿耿。」李凡打量着说道。
Starright could only remain silent.
「 dào yě ， bìng fēi wán quán shì qián bèi suǒ xiǎng de nà yàng 。 shí jì shàng ， wǒ shì míng míng zhōng gǎn shòu dào kāi pì shēng líng zhī xíng de hǎo chù ， cái gān yuàn dài zài nà dì xià shēng jī àn hé zhōng de 。」 sī tú xīng xiào le xiào ， bìng méi yǒu yǐn mán 。
「倒也，并非完全是前辈所想的那样。实际上，我是冥冥中感受到开辟生灵之形的好处，才甘愿待在那地下生机暗河中的。」司徒星笑了笑，并没有隐瞒。
After a long while, he said: "Perhaps there is a world beyond the Infinite Sea where they have already found a solution."
「 hǎo chù ？」
「好处？」
"Countless transcendent True Immortals from various worlds are constantly crossing over and gathering in that vast realm. By pooling their strength, they should be able to find a way to save the world. This was the tacit agreement of countless nameless True Immortals at the time."
「 xiān jiè pò miè hòu ， wǒ bèi zhēn xiān de xiān lì wú xiàn xìng zhì ， yě shòu dào le bù tóng chéng dù de yǐng xiǎng 。 yǒu de yùn qì hǎo de ， huò xǔ réng rán néng yōng yǒu wú xiàn xiān lì 。 dàn yǒu de ， zé shì shī qù le gēn wú xiàn zhī hǎi de lián tōng 。 ér wǒ ， jiù shì shǔ yú hòu zhě 。」
「仙界破灭后，我辈真仙的仙力无限性质，也受到了不同程度的影响。有的运气好的，或许仍然能拥有无限仙力。但有的，则是失去了跟无限之海的联通。而我，就是属于后者。」
"Their attachment to one world has already been demonstrated by Tianluo Emperor."
sī tú xīng tàn le kǒu qì ， jì xù shuō dào ：「 ér tōng guò shēng líng zhī xíng ， gōu lè sù zào cǐ chù xīng hǎi ， shùn dài zhe bāng qí fù sū 。 biàn kě jiè zhù xià jiè xīng hǎi de quán xiàn tōng dào ， chóng xīn gēn wú xiàn zhī hǎi qǔ dé lián xì 。 bǐ shí ， xiān jiè suī miè ， wǒ què réng shì zhēn xiān 。 nǎ pà běn zūn zāo shòu bù cè ， wǒ yě bù yòng shòu dào tài dà de yǐng xiǎng 。」
司徒星叹了口气，继续说道：「而通过生灵之形，勾勒塑造此处星海，顺带着帮其复苏。便可借助下界星海的权限通道，重新跟无限之海取得联系。彼时，仙界虽灭，我却仍是真仙。哪怕本尊遭受不测，我也不用受到太大的影响。」
"You didn't walk the path to enlightenment, so you don't understand this aspect naturally."
「 zhǐ kě xī ， shì bù suí rén yuàn a 。」
「只可惜，事不遂人愿啊。」
Starright's words were convincing, but they did not shake Starright's inner resolve.
「 wú xiàn zhī hǎi ， nǎi shì zhāo lái dào yān de zuì kuí huò shǒu 。 nǎ pà xiān jiè fù miè ， ěr děng hái shì chī mí bù wù ！」 lǐ fán dǎ duàn le sī tú xīng de huà ， shén qíng zhú jiàn zhuǎn lěng 。
「无限之海，乃是招来道湮的罪魁祸首。哪怕仙界覆灭，尔等还是痴迷不悟！」李凡打断了司徒星的话，神情逐渐转冷。
The reason was that the cold countdown numbers of "True Immortal" were steadily decreasing, telling the ultimate fate of the mortal world.
sī tú xīng yǒu xiē è rán ， sì hū zhōng yú míng bái le wèi hé lǐ fán shēn shàng bù jù bèi xiān lì de yuán yīn 。
司徒星有些愕然，似乎终于明白了为何李凡身上不具备仙力的原因。
"Perhaps he is right," Starright thought.
tā sī cǔn zhe ， xiǎo xīn yì yì de jiě shì dào ：「 bìng fēi shì wú xiàn hǎi dǎo zhì de dào yān 。 ér shì méi yǒu dǎng zhù wú xiàn hǎi ， cái dǎo zhì dào yān de fā shēng 。 wǒ bèi zhēn xiān ， gōu lián wú xiàn hǎi ， shì tōng guò 【 lián shān 】 de lì liàng 。 zhèng suǒ wèi shān hǎi xiāng lián 。」
他思忖着，小心翼翼的解释道：「并非是无限海导致的道湮。而是没有挡住无限海，才导致道湮的发生。我辈真仙，勾连无限海，是通过【连山】的力量。正所谓山海相连。」
"The integration of mountains and seas is truly a macro trend."
「 ér wú lùn wǒ men yòng bù yòng wú xiàn xiān lì ， dōu bú huì duì dào yān zhī cháo de dà shì jú miàn chǎn shēng yǐng xiǎng 。」
「而无论我们用不用无限仙力，都不会对道湮之潮的大势局面产生影响。」
"In front of mountains and seas, even one path has little impact. How much more so for nameless True Immortals who only achieved enlightenment in one path?"
「 wǒ cāi cè ， xiān jiè de fù miè ， nà 【 tiān luó xiān dì 】 de yī yì gū xíng ， jué duì yào fù jué dà bù fèn zé rèn 。」
「我猜测，仙界的覆灭，那【天罗仙帝】的一意孤行，绝对要负绝大部分责任。」
"No matter what they do or whether they leave behind any means to carry on the Dao, at most, it can delay the arrival of the Great Drowning."
sī tú xīng de zhè fān shuō cí ， dǎo shì chù zài lǐ fán de zhī shí máng qū zhī nèi 。
司徒星的这番说辞，倒是处在李凡的知识盲区之内。
"It cannot change the ultimate destruction."
yīn bù néng biàn bié qí zhēn jiǎ ， gù ér méi yǒu zhí jiē fǎn bó 。 ér shì fǎn wèn ：「 zhí zhèng tiān luó xiān dì ， wǒ yě céng tīng shuō guò zài xiān jiè bèi huǐ zhī qián ， shì yǒu fēng kuáng jǔ dòng 。 tā jiū jìng xiǎng yào zuò xiē shén me ？」
因不能辨别其真假，故而没有直接反驳。而是反问：「执政天罗仙帝，我也曾听说过在仙界被毁之前，似有疯狂举动。他究竟想要做些什么？」
Starright suddenly thought about Xieshu Bai, Black Heaven Doctor, and the Pillar of Altars who had easily withstood the Great Drowning but still left.
tí qǐ tiān luó xiān dì ， sī tú xīng de biǎo qíng jiù biàn dé yǒu xiē gǔ guài 。 xiàng jí le huí yì xuān yuán hóng shí 。
提起天罗仙帝，司徒星的表情就变得有些古怪。像极了回忆轩辕宏时。
"Is this the tacit agreement among nameless True Immortals?"
「 tiān luó xiān dì ， yù chè dǐ jiě jué dào yān zhī jié de yōu huàn 。 ér fāng fǎ ……」
「天罗仙帝，欲彻底解决道湮之劫的忧患。而方法……」
"Do they only care about their own strength or do they truly not discard this so-called tacit agreement in their hearts?"
「 jiù shì xiān jiè zhěng tǐ zài dù fēi shēng jì huà 。 ruò néng chéng gōng ， zé líng jià yú shān yǔ hǎi zhī shàng 。 rèn píng cháo zhǎng cháo luò ， dōu wú fǎ zài yǐng xiǎng wǒ men fēn háo 。」
「就是仙界整体再度飞升计划。若能成功，则凌驾于山与海之上。任凭潮涨潮落，都无法再影响我们分毫。」
"Does that vast world beyond the gathering really exist?"
「 ń ？」 lǐ fán de shén qíng ， yě gēn zhe biàn dé wēi miào qǐ lái 。
「嗯？」李凡的神情，也跟着变得微妙起来。
Many thoughts flashed through Starright's mind.
「 yào me ， nà wèi tiān luó xiān dì shì wèi bù zhé bù kòu de fēng zi 。 yào me ， tā jiù shì dìng yǒu yī zhàng 。 wǒ céng tīng shuō ， dāng chū tiān luó dì shēn biān ， kě shì bìng bù quē fá zhuī suí zhě de ……」 tā dīng zhe sī tú xīng ， xiǎng yào cóng tā de kǒu zhōng dé dào dá àn 。
「要么，那位天罗仙帝是位不折不扣的疯子。要么，他就是定有依仗。我曾听说，当初天罗帝身边，可是并不缺乏追随者的……」他盯着司徒星，想要从他的口中得到答案。
But no matter what he was thinking now, he couldn't show any signs of being convinced by Starright.
「 cóng lǐ lùn shàng lái jiǎng ， tiān luó dì de fāng àn dí què shì yǒu yí dìng kě xíng xìng de 。 fǒu zé dāng chū wǒ yě bú huì xuǎn zé zhuī suí tā 。 zhǐ kě xī ， cóng jié guǒ lái kàn ， tā sì hū zuì zhōng hái shì shī bài le 。」
「从理论上来讲，天罗帝的方案的确是有一定可行性的。否则当初我也不会选择追随他。只可惜，从结果来看，他似乎最终还是失败了。」
"The lives that should have been theirs in this world were prematurely lost due to your excuses."
「 bù guò jù tǐ wèi hé kě xíng ， qiān shè dào xiān jiè fēi shēng jì huà 。 nǎi shì jué mì 。 wǒ bìng méi yǒu dé dào tóng bù xìn xī 。 ér nà ge mì mì ， huò xǔ bàn suí zhe xiān jiè de fù miè ， yě chè dǐ bèi yǎn gài le 。」 sī tú xīng yǎn shén shēn chù ， shǎn guò yī sī wǎn xī 。
「不过具体为何可行，牵涉到仙界飞升计划。乃是绝密。我并没有得到同步信息。而那个秘密，或许伴随着仙界的覆灭，也彻底被掩盖了。」司徒星眼神深处，闪过一丝惋惜。
"How do we account for this debt?"
tiān zhù kōng jiān zhōng ， yī shí xiàn rù le guǐ yì de jì jìng 。
天柱空间中，一时陷入了诡异的寂静。
"Should they die?"
「 xiān jiè fēi shēng ……」
「仙界飞升……」
Starright waved his hand, and the howling scenes of countless souls in the end times instantly appeared before Starright.
Starright pondered deeply, savoring the four words in his heart: "Ascension to the Heavens." Indeed, it was too extreme and crazy.
No wonder the True Immortals stationed in the experimental field space, including Qing Yin and Lingxian, had all decided to retreat after learning about this plan. The power of an Immortal came from mountains and seas, but Tianluo Emperor wanted to transcend them with the strength of one world.
Even if there was some backing, it seemed a bit too far-fetched. But given that Tianluo Emperor could become the ruler of the True Immortal realm, he must have made careful calculations before making such a decision. At least in his view, there was a high chance of success.
"Why would Tianluo Emperor think he could surpass mountains and seas when the entire immortal realm was trembling under the Great Drowning?" Starright's curiosity surged.
However, this question likely wouldn't be answered anytime soon.
"Then you believe that all the immortals in the universe are blameless for the occurrence of the Great Drowning?" After some thought, Starright redirected the conversation.
Starright's stance was clear.
Glancing at the nearby Pillar of Heaven, Starright hesitated several times before finally answering: "Not just me. Most True Immortals probably hold this view as well. And in fact, it is true. Whether we use infinite immortal power or not, the Infinite Sea will always be there."
"Mountain and sea integration is a macro trend that cannot be reversed by a single path of thought. If someone really made a mistake..."
"Perhaps from the beginning, the birth of immortals was a mistake."
"Since the birth of immortals with the help of the 'Linked Mountains,' the approach of the Infinite Sea became inevitable."
Starright had some resolve.
Facing Starright's intimidating gaze, he did not change his stance. He said frankly: "These nameless True Immortals, after achieving enlightenment and walking away, do they really have no responsibility?"
With a wave of his hand, five ghostly figures of the Pillar of Altars appeared around him, presenting themselves to Starright.
"Even if you didn't become a pillar, could you leave behind a virtual image like the Pillar of Altars?"
The name "Pillar of Altars" was indeed extraordinary.
Seeing these suddenly appearing ghostly figures, Starright felt as though he had been struck by lightning. His body trembled uncontrollably.
After calming down, he respectfully bowed to the ghostly figures.
"There was a discussion in the immortal realm about this issue from the beginning," Starright said after some thought.
"The integration of mountains and seas is an irreversible macro trend that cannot be reversed by just one or two paths. In fact, adding or subtracting a path does not significantly impact the overall timeline. Just like the shelter built here with two Pillars of Heaven, it currently seems safe, but in reality..."
"Eventually, destruction will come."
"Perhaps we can delay it for some time, but ultimately, it's useless."
"We cannot completely deny the path to True Immortalhood just because of this matter. Moreover, if we achieve namelessness and a small transcendence, or even true transcendence, leaping over mountains and seas, maybe we could truly find a way to stop their integration."
Starright spoke with firm conviction, his words becoming faster.
His eyes were resolute, as if this was what he truly believed in.
"Hmph. Placing hope on an uncertain future."
"Now that the immortal realm has been destroyed, countless transcendent True Immortals have found a way to save the world, haven't they?" Starright asked.
Starright could only remain silent.
After a long while, he said: "Perhaps there is a world beyond the Infinite Sea where they have already found a solution."
"Countless transcendent True Immortals from various worlds are constantly crossing over and gathering in that vast realm. By pooling their strength, they should be able to find a way to save the world. This was the tacit agreement of countless nameless True Immortals at the time."
"Their attachment to one world has already been demonstrated by Tianluo Emperor."
"You didn't walk the path to enlightenment, so you don't understand this aspect naturally."
Starright's words were convincing, but they did not shake Starright's inner resolve.
The reason was that the cold countdown numbers of "True Immortal" were steadily decreasing, telling the ultimate fate of the mortal world.
"Perhaps he is right," Starright thought.
"The integration of mountains and seas is truly a macro trend."
"In front of mountains and seas, even one path has little impact. How much more so for nameless True Immortals who only achieved enlightenment in one path?"
"No matter what they do or whether they leave behind any means to carry on the Dao, at most, it can delay the arrival of the Great Drowning."
"It cannot change the ultimate destruction."
Starright suddenly thought about Xieshu Bai, Black Heaven Doctor, and the Pillar of Altars who had easily withstood the Great Drowning but still left.
"Is this the tacit agreement among nameless True Immortals?"
"Do they only care about their own strength or do they truly not discard this so-called tacit agreement in their hearts?"
"Does that vast world beyond the gathering really exist?"
Many thoughts flashed through Starright's mind.
But no matter what he was thinking now, he couldn't show any signs of being convinced by Starright.
"The lives that should have been theirs in this world were prematurely lost due to your excuses."
"How do we account for this debt?"
"Should they die?"
Starright waved his hand, and the howling scenes of countless souls in the end times instantly appeared before Starright.
