bù jǐn jǐn shì zhè xiē nián lǐ fán zài lún huí zhōng qīn shēn jīng lì ， hái yǒu zì xié sū bái ， yǐ jí 【 hái zhēn 】 nǎi zhì wú xiàn hǎi zhōng suǒ kuī tàn dé 。
不仅仅是这些年李凡在轮回中亲身经历，还有自邪苏白，以及【还真】乃至无限海中所窥探得。
Not only did Li Fan experience these events firsthand over the years in the reincarnation cycle, but also from Xie Su Bai and "Zhenhuan" as well as the Infinite Sea.
wú shù cǎn jué rén huán ， lìng rén jīng hài zhì jí de mò shì chǎng miàn ， qǐng kè jiān zài sī tú xīng miàn qián shàng yǎn 。
无数惨绝人寰，令人惊骇至极的末世场面，顷刻间在司徒星面前上演。
In an instant, countless horrifying scenes of the end times unfolded before Situ Star’s eyes. Even though he had once been a nameless True Immortal, after witnessing such terrifying sights, his expression changed slightly.
jiù suàn céng shì wú míng zhēn xiān ， dàn zài mù dǔ zhè bǐ dì yù hái kǒng bù yì wàn bèi de chǎng jǐng hòu ， hái shì wēi wēi biàn le yán sè 。
就算曾是无名真仙，但在目睹这比地狱还恐怖亿万倍的场景后，还是微微变了颜色。
Situ Star did not shy away; instead, he absorbed all these images with his gaze. After a moment of silence, he spoke with difficulty.
sī tú xīng méi yǒu huí bì ， jiāng zhè xiē huà miàn jìn shōu yǎn dǐ 。 chén mò le shǎo xǔ zhī hòu ， fāng cái yǒu xiē jiān nán de kāi kǒu 。
司徒星没有回避，将这些画面尽收眼底。沉默了少许之后，方才有些艰难的开口。
He still held to his original views: "All beings perish in the void of Dao. This is the fate of all beings under the great trend. As they say, 'Follow the Dao and be born; follow the Dao and die.' No one is born to bear the responsibility for others' lives."
yī rán méi yǒu yīn cǐ gǎi biàn zì jǐ de guān niàn ：「 zhòng shēng jù wáng yú dào yān zhī zhōng ， zhè shì dà shì bù gǎi xià zhòng shēng de sù mìng 。 zhèng suǒ wèi suí dào ér shēng ， suí dào ér yǔn 。 shì shàng méi yǒu rèn hé rén ， tiān shēng yào wèi bié rén de shēng sǐ fù zé 。 kuàng qiě ， zài wǒ bèi zhēn xiān yǎn zhōng ， zhè xiē ……」
依然没有因此改变自己的观念：「众生俱亡于道湮之中，这是大势不改下众生的宿命。正所谓随道而生，随道而陨。世上没有任何人，天生要为别人的生死负责。况且，在我辈真仙眼中，这些……」
"Most of these are not even considered living beings."
「 jué dà duō shì dōu hái suàn bù dé 【 shēng líng 】。」
「绝大多是都还算不得【生灵】。」
Situ Star's voice was initially weak but grew more resolute as he spoke.
sī tú xīng zuì kāi shǐ de shēng yīn hái yǒu xiē wēi ruò ， dàn yuè wǎng hòu ， yuè fā jiān dìng 。
司徒星最开始的声音还有些微弱，但越往后，越发坚定。
Li Fan scoffed: "All this righteous rhetoric boils down to 'weak ones have no right to live.' So today, you're the fish and I'm the butcher. You were sealed to serve as a pillar of heaven; what do you have to say about that?"
lǐ fán chī xiào ：「 shuō le zhè yī dà duī de yì zhèng yán cí ， bù guò shì yī jù ， ruò zhě wú quán shēng cún bà le 。 nà jīn rì ， nǐ wèi yú ròu 、 wǒ wèi dāo zǔ 。 nǐ bèi fēng yìn yǐ zuò tiān zhù ， yòu yǒu hé huà shuō ？」
李凡嗤笑：「说了这一大堆的义正言辞，不过是一句，弱者无权生存罢了。那今日，你为鱼肉、我为刀俎。你被封印以作天柱，又有何话说？」
Situ Star opened his mouth but did not contradict himself: "Survival of the fittest. Being sealed in the pillar is due to my inferiority and is part of my tribulation."
sī tú xīng zhāng le zhāng zuǐ ， bìng méi yǒu shuō chū zì xiāng máo dùn de yán lùn ：「 ruò ròu qiáng shí ， wǒ wú huà kě shuō 。 bèi fēng rù tiān zhù ， yě shì jì bù rú rén ， shǔ zì shēn jié nàn 。」
司徒星张了张嘴，并没有说出自相矛盾的言论：「弱肉强食，我无话可说。被封入天柱，也是技不如人，属自身劫难。」
"Only advising the senior, three or two pillars can only bring temporary peace for a limited time. To truly seek salvation, one must go to the 'Otherworldly Great Era.'"
「 zhǐ shì quàn jiè qián bèi ， yǐ sān liǎng tiān zhù 、 zhǐ néng huàn yī shí yī dì zhī wú yàng 。 xiǎng yào zhēn zhèng xún qiú jiù shì zhī fǎ ， hái xū qián wǎng nà 【 bǐ àn dà shì 】。 yǐ qián bèi shí lì ， xiǎng bì shì méi yǒu wèn tí de ……」
「只是劝诫前辈，以三两天柱、只能换一时一地之无恙。想要真正寻求救世之法，还需前往那【彼岸大世】。以前辈实力，想必是没有问题的……」
With his senior's strength, he believed there would be no problem.
sī tú xīng hái yù shuō huà ， què dǒu jué zhōu zāo dà dào 、 zài dù chóng chóng jǐn fù 。
司徒星还欲说话，却陡觉周遭大道、再度重重紧缚。
Before Situ Star could continue, he suddenly felt the constraints of the Dao tighten around him again.
zhè yī cì ， lǐ fán méi yǒu zài gěi tā jiǎo biàn de jī huì 。
这一次，李凡没有再给他狡辩的机会。
This time, Li Fan did not give him an opportunity for sophistry. The Dao infused into his body froze and sealed his thoughts.
dà dào róng shēn ， shì xiàn 、 sī xù ， jiē bèi dòng jié fēng yìn 。
大道融身，视线、思绪，皆被冻结封印。
Apart from Yuan Sheng’s bones and Hunger Immortal, another pillar stood in this space.
chú le yuán shǐ zhī gǔ 、 jī xiān yǐ wài ， cǐ chù kōng jiān zhōng ， yòu duō le yī gēn yì lì de tiān zhù 。
除了元始之骨、饥仙以外，此处空间中，又多了一根屹立的天柱。
But since its foundation was just a shadow of a nameless immortal, compared to the first two, this third pillar appeared significantly "weaker."
dàn bì jìng gēn jī zhǐ shì wú míng xiān zhī yǐng ， xiāng jiào yú qián èr zhě ， zhè dì sān gēn tiān zhù míng xiǎn yào 「 shòu ruò 」 yī xiē 。
但毕竟根基只是无名仙之影，相较于前二者，这第三根天柱明显要「瘦弱」一些。
Moreover, as it wasn't truly formed by the Dao, this 'pillar' couldn’t bear much of the Dao’s void pressure either.
shèn zhì yīn wèi qí bìng fēi zhēn zhèng dà dào suǒ huà ， gù ér zhè gēn 「 tiān zhù 」 dōu bù néng bāng máng chéng dān tài duō de dào yān yā lì 。
甚至因为其并非真正大道所化，故而这跟「天柱」都不能帮忙承担太多的道湮压力。
Li Fan still needed to seal Situ Star.
ér lǐ fán yī rán yào jiāng sī tú xīng fēng yìn qǐ lái 。
而李凡依然要将司徒星封印起来。
It wasn’t out of fear for this ancient king of laws or the nameless one from below. The main goal was to subdue him like he had done with Hunger Immortal, slowly extracting his past memories from their minds.
dào bú shì pà le zhè wèi shàng gǔ fǎ wáng 、 xià jiè wú míng 。 zuì zhǔ yào de mù dì ， hái shì yù gēn duì dài jī xiān yī yàng ， zhèn yā de tóng shí ， màn màn cóng tā men de nǎo hǎi zhōng huò qǔ wǎng xī de jì yì 。
倒不是怕了这位上古法王、下界无名。最主要的目的，还是欲跟对待饥仙一样，镇压的同时，慢慢从他们的脑海中获取往昔的记忆。
In Li Fan's view, Situ Star’s value far surpassed that of Hunger Immortal. While Hunger Immortal spent most of his life in the仙界 as a mere "non-action" immortal servant, Situ Star was the governor of the Vastness Void域. From his few hints, it was clear he knew countless secrets about the仙界.
zài lǐ fán kàn lái ， sī tú xīng de jià zhí shèn zhì hái yào yuǎn zài jī xiān zhī shàng 。 jī xiān zài xiān jiè de qián bàn shēng ， dōu bù guò shì 【 wú wéi 】 de xiān pū shēn fèn 。
在李凡看来，司徒星的价值甚至还要远在饥仙之上。饥仙在仙界的前半生，都不过是【无为】的仙仆身份。
"A governor, with such a title, should be a ruler of one side of the Immortal Realm. A nameless realm does indeed have the authority to rule over an area," Li Fan thought.
ér sī tú xīng ， kě shì huāng ǎi xīng yù de zhí zhèng xiān xiāng 。 cóng tā zhī qián tòu lù de zhī yán piàn yǔ zhōng ， biàn kě qí dìng rán zhī xiǎo xiān jiè yǐn mì wú shù 。
而司徒星，可是荒霭星域的执政仙相。从他之前透露的只言片语中，便可其定然知晓仙界隐秘无数。
"But I must see for myself."
「 xiān xiāng ， tīng zhe míng zì ， yīng gāi shì xiān yù yī fāng zhǔ zǎi 。 wú míng zhī jìng ， dí què yǒu tǒng lǐng yī fāng de zī gé 。 suī rán sī tú xīng tā zì jǐ shuō ， yīn wèi dào yān zhī jié de bō jí ， shàng jiè běn tǐ jì yì cán quē bù quán ……」
「仙相，听着名字，应该是仙域一方主宰。无名之境，的确有统领一方的资格。虽然司徒星他自己说，因为道湮之劫的波及，上界本体记忆残缺不全……」
If Hunger Immortal's inner self was just a loose ball of light, then Situ Star’s consciousness was like a brilliant pearl. Countless thoughts and memories were compressed into one solid point, unyielding. To pry into his mind, outsiders needed to first crack this unity.
「 dàn jiū jìng shì shí rú hé ， hái shì yào wǒ kàn le cái suàn shù 。」
「但究竟事实如何，还是要我看了才算数。」
Li Fan, the master of manipulating minds, carefully observed for a moment and found the flaw in Situ Star's inner self.
rú guǒ shuō jī xiān de nèi xīn ， zhǐ shì yī tuán sōng sǎn de liàng guāng de huà 。 nà me sī tú xīng de yì shí ， jiù hǎo sì yī kē cuǐ càn de míng zhū 。 wú shù sī xù jì yì bèi yā suō zhì zuì wèi wēi mò de yì diǎn ， jiān shí wú bǐ 。 wài rén xiǎng yào kuī tàn ， jiù xū xiān jiāng zhè jiān yìng yī tǐ qiào kāi yī dào liè fèng 。
如果说饥仙的内心，只是一团松散的亮光的话。那么司徒星的意识，就好似一颗璀璨的明珠。无数思绪记忆被压缩至最为微末的一点，坚实无比。外人想要窥探，就需先将这坚硬一体撬开一道裂缝。
He sneered: "How eloquent you are. The Master fell in the void of Dao, leaving behind significant psychological trauma. Just focus on that aspect..."
lǐ fán bù kuì shì wán nòng rén xīn de dà shī ， zǐ xì guān mó le piàn kè hòu ， fā xiàn le sī tú xīng nèi xīn de pò zhàn suǒ zài 。
李凡不愧是玩弄人心的大师，仔细观摩了片刻后，发现了司徒星内心的破绽所在。
Li Fan formed a hand seal, and his doppelganger Li Bureal cooperated.
bù yóu lěng xiào yī shēng ：「 shuō de rú hé rú hé 。 běn zūn yǔn yú dào yān zhī zhōng ， hái shì dài gěi le tā mò dà de xīn lǐ yīn yǐng 。 zhǐ xū cóng zhè fāng miàn rù shǒu ……」
不由冷笑一声：「说的如何如何。本尊陨于道湮之中，还是带给了他莫大的心理阴影。只需从这方面入手……」
In the darkest star sea, the guardian figures of Qiuchu, Yuan Sheng, and Hunger Immortal began to withdraw their power as if they were passing all the pressure onto newly appointed Situ Star alone.
lǐ fán shuāng shǒu qiā jué 。
李凡双手掐诀。
A great wave was about to crash down, not just on a single pillar. Especially when it came to a world-destroying void Dao?
fēn shēn lǐ bù rén tóng shí pèi hé 。
分身李不仁同时配合。
A sound like an overwhelming tide echoed from beyond the heavens. The star sea, which had just received nourishment from the outer realms, suddenly emitted strands of void Dao miasma.
zhǐ jiàn zhì àn xīng hǎi zhōng ， tóng zuò wéi dào yān zhī zhù de shǒu qiū xū yǐng 、 yuán shǐ 、 jī xiān ， fēn fēn kāi shǐ shōu huí zì jǐ de lì liàng 。
只见至暗星海中，同作为道湮支柱的守丘虚影、元始、饥仙，纷纷开始收回自己的力量。
Solemn and terrifying, like ghosts.
shì shì yào jiāng suǒ yǒu de yā lì ， quán dōu ràng xīn dào rèn de sī tú xīng dú zì yī rén chéng dān 。
似是要将所有的压力，全都让新到任的司徒星独自一人承担。
The great trend of revival began to falter once more.
dà shà jiāng qīng ， hái fēi dú mù néng zhī 。 gèng hé kuàng miè shì zhī dào yān ？
大厦将倾，还非独木能支。更何况灭世之道湮？
Inhabitants of the star sea felt a sense of impending doom, even though most were in the blissful realm of Xuanhuang. They instinctively frowned, their expressions uneasy.
wǎn ruò yāng yāng dà cháo gǔn gǔn lái xí de shēng yīn ， yǐn yǐn zì tiān wài zhuàn lái 。 gāng dé dào wài jiè xīng yù xiāng duì wán zhěng dà dào zī yǎng de zhì àn xīng hǎi nèi ， dǒu rán jiān mào chū yī lǚ yī lǚ de dào yān hēi qì 。
宛若泱泱大潮滚滚来袭的声音，隐隐自天外传来。刚得到外界星域相对完整大道滋养的至暗星海内，陡然间冒出一缕一缕的道湮黑气。
How could people be so不堪? What about Situ Star, who bore the weight for all these beings?
sēn rán kě bù ， wǎn ruò guǐ mèi 。
森然可怖，宛若鬼魅。
Having truly experienced the terror of Dao’s void, this nameless one from below was broken almost instantly after his initial confidence.
fù sū zhī dà dào ， zhòu rán zài luàn 。
复苏之大道，骤然再乱。
Under the pressure, he no longer showed the composure he had in his words. He panicked and instinctively cried out.
xīng hǎi nèi shēng líng ， fēn fēn wú duān shēng chū dà nàn lín tóu zhī gǎn 。 suī jué dà duō shù dōu yú xuán huáng jiè wú yōu lè tǔ zhōng chén shuì ， què yī jiù běn néng de méi tóu jǐn cù ， shén qíng nán ān 。
星海内生灵，纷纷无端生出大难临头之感。虽绝大多数都于玄黄界无忧乐土中沉睡，却依旧本能的眉头紧蹙，神情难安。
He was no different from the common people Li Fan portrayed in his visions of the end times.
shì rén yǐ jīng rú cǐ bù kān ， gèng hé kuàng zài 「 shàng fāng 」 tì shì rén chēng zhe de sī tú xīng ？
世人已经如此不堪，更何况在「上方」替世人撑着的司徒星？
"Nameless True Immortal. That's all you are."
zhèng yīn wèi zhēn zhèng tǐ huì guò dào yān zhī jié de kě bù zhī chù ， yīn ér zài cì miàn duì tā shí ， zhè wèi xiān qián hái zhèn zhèn yǒu cí de xià jiè wú míng ， yǐ yú piàn kè zhī jiān 、 bèi pò le xīn fáng 。
正因为真正体会过道湮之劫的可怖之处，因而再次面对它时，这位先前还振振有词的下界无名，已于片刻之间、被破了心防。
Li Fan looked at the clown-like Situ Star with derision.
dà nàn lín tóu zhī xià ， zài wú gāng gāng huà lǐ biǎo xiàn chū lái de cóng róng 。
大难临头之下，再无刚刚话里表现出来的从容。
Situ Star’s pillar alone couldn’t sustain much longer, so Li Fan didn't want to let the void Dao truly descend.
huáng kǒng dà jiào ， běn néng hū háo 。
惶恐大叫，本能呼嚎。
Seizing the opportunity, he sent a fragment of his divine consciousness through the crack in the heart barrier.
gēn lǐ fán zài huàn xiàng zhōng suǒ chéng xiàn de ， mò shì xià de zhòng shēng ， bìng wú shén me qū bié 。
跟李凡在幻象中所呈现的，末世下的众生，并无什么区别。
Though not as profound as Zhenhuan's thoughts, the overwhelming flood of past memories still plunged Li Fan into chaos.
「 wú míng zhēn xiān 。 bù guò rú cǐ 。」
「无名真仙。不过如此。」
But with experience from larger waves, he adapted and could move about more freely.
lǐ fán kàn zhe wǎn ruò xiǎo chǒu de sī tú xīng ， bù yóu jī fěng dào 。
李凡看着宛若小丑的司徒星，不由讥讽道。
"Looks like Situ Star didn't lie."
guāng kào sī tú xīng yī rén suǒ huà tiān zhù ， bìng bù néng jiān chí tài duō de shí jiān 。 lǐ fán hái bù yuàn ràng dào yān zhēn de jiàng lín 。
光靠司徒星一人所化天柱，并不能坚持太多的时间。李凡还不愿让道湮真的降临。
"This heart sea is indeed incomplete,"
zhuā zhù duì fāng pò fáng de jī huì ， lǐ fán fēn chū yī lǚ shén niàn ， shùn zhe xīn fáng liè xì 、 jìn rù qí zhōng 。
抓住对方破防的机会，李凡分出一缕神念，顺着心防裂隙、进入其中。
Li Fan looked around. He found that Situ Star’s thoughts were not continuous but had dark voids at regular intervals.
suī bǐ bù shàng hái zhēn zhī sī xù ， dàn pū tiān gài dì qí qí yǒng lái de guò wǎng ， hái shì ràng lǐ fán shà shí qián rù le jīng tāo hài làng zhī zhōng 。
虽比不上还真之思绪，但铺天盖地齐齐涌来的过往，还是让李凡霎时潜入了惊涛骇浪之中。
From these voids, Li Fan sensed the presence of Dao’s void.
dàn hǎo dǎi yǒu le zài gèng dà fēng làng zhōng cún huó de jīng yàn ， lǐ fán shì yìng le yī huì ， jiù miǎn qiǎng néng huó dòng zì rú le 。
但好歹有了在更大风浪中存活的经验，李凡适应了一会，就勉强能活动自如了。
These voids were now slowly expanding outward in sync with the true void outside.
「 kàn lái sī tú xīng tā dào yě méi yǒu shuō huǎng 。」
「看来司徒星他倒也没有说谎。」
One day, they would completely consume Situ Star's mind.
「 cǐ chù xīn hǎi ， guǒ zhēn yǐ cán quē bù quán 。」
「此处心海，果真已残缺不全。」
"Even if the doppelganger escaped the void, his inner self still suffers. Not just from material damage but also spiritual."
lǐ fán tiào wàng zuǒ yòu ， fā xiàn sī tú xīng de sī xù bìng fēi gēn zhèng cháng rén yī yàng shì lián guàn chéng xiàn de 。 ér shì měi gé duàn jù lí ， jiù yǒu yī chù qī hēi de kōng dòng héng gèn 。
李凡眺望左右，发现司徒星的思绪并非跟正常人一样是连贯呈现的。而是每隔断距离，就有一处漆黑的空洞横亘。
Li Fan carefully avoided these voids and first focused on the most prominent memory closest to him.
cóng zhè xiē kōng dòng zhōng ， lǐ fán gǎn dào le shǔ yú dào yān de qì xī 。
从这些空洞中，李凡感到了属于道湮的气息。
It was the pinnacle of Situ Star’s glory.
ér cǐ kè ， zhè xiē sī xù zhōng de kōng dòng ， zhèng gēn wài jiè zhēn zhèng de dào yān yáo xiāng hū yìng ， huǎn huǎn cháo wài kuò zhāng 。
而此刻，这些思绪中的空洞，正跟外界真正的道湮遥相呼应，缓缓朝外扩张。
Even though he had fallen, his doppelganger remembered it vividly.
xiǎng bì zhōng yǒu yī rì ， tā men jiāng huì chè dǐ bǎ sī tú xīng de xīn shén tūn shì 。
想必终有一日，它们将会彻底把司徒星的心神吞噬。
This was when Situ Star achieved namelessness!
「 jí biàn fēn shēn táo guò le dào yān zhī jié ， nèi xīn yī jiù shòu qí cán shí 。 bù jǐn jǐn shì wù zhì shàng de dǎ jī ， hái yǒu jīng shén shàng de 。」
「即便分身逃过了道湮之劫，内心依旧受其蚕食。不仅仅是物质上的打击，还有精神上的。」
Unlike the solitary scene Li Fan saw during Hunger Immortal's enlightenment, Situ Star’s memories showed countless True Immortals standing around him, offering congratulations and admiration.
lǐ fán xiǎo xīn yì yì de bì guò zhè xiē dào yān kōng dòng ， shǒu xiān kàn xiàng jù lí zì jǐ zuì jìn de 、 tóng shí yě shì zuì xiǎn yǎn de jì yì 。
李凡小心翼翼的避过这些道湮空洞，首先看向距离自己最近的、同时也是最显眼的记忆。
In the distance, a grand figure was surrounded by many immortals.
nà shì sī tú xīng yī shēn zuì wèi huī huáng de shí kè 。
那是司徒星一身最为辉煌的时刻。
"Congratulations to Situ!"
jí biàn běn zūn yǔn luò ， yě yī jiù bèi fēn shēn láo láo jì zài xīn zhōng 。
即便本尊陨落，也依旧被分身牢牢记在心中。
Situ Star bowed respectfully amidst the crowd's cheers.
zhèng shì sī tú xīng zhèng dào wú míng zhī shí ！
正是司徒星证道无名之时！
"Award the Vastness Void domain."
gēn lǐ fán suǒ jiàn de ， jī xiān zhèng dào shí de gū dú chǎng jǐng bù tóng 。 sī tú xīng de jì yì zhōng ， zhōu zāo yǒu wú shù dào zhēn xiān shēn yǐng lín lì zuǒ yòu ， guān mó gōng hè 。
跟李凡所见的，饥仙证道时的孤独场景不同。司徒星的记忆中，周遭有无数道真仙身影林立左右，观摩恭贺。
"Award先天灵宝."
ér zài yáo yuǎn de tiān biān ， gèng shì zhòng xiān gǒng wèi zhe yī dào gāo dà de shēn yǐng 。
而在遥远的天边，更是众仙拱卫着一道高大的身影。
"Award ten thousand immortal servants."
「 wèi sī tú hè ！」
「为司徒贺！」
...
sī tú xīng zài zhòng rén de gōng hè shēng zhōng ， yáo yáo cháo zhe yuǎn chù de gāo dà shēn yǐng gōng shēn yī bài 。
司徒星在众人的恭贺声中，遥遥朝着远处的高大身影躬身一拜。
Voices echoed in the crowd. Under their gaze, Situ Star’s thoughts fluctuated and his emotions ran high.
「 shǎng huāng ǎi xīng yù 。」
「赏荒霭星域。」
Free reading...
Not only did Li Fan experience these events firsthand over the years in the reincarnation cycle, but also from Xie Su Bai and "Zhenhuan" as well as the Infinite Sea.
In an instant, countless horrifying scenes of the end times unfolded before Situ Star’s eyes. Even though he had once been a nameless True Immortal, after witnessing such terrifying sights, his expression changed slightly.
Situ Star did not shy away; instead, he absorbed all these images with his gaze. After a moment of silence, he spoke with difficulty.

Seizing the opportunity, he sent a fragment of his divine consciousness through the crack in the heart barrier.
Though not as profound as Zhenhuan's thoughts, the overwhelming flood of past memories still plunged Li Fan into chaos.
But with experience from larger waves, he adapted and could move about more freely.
"Looks like Situ Star didn't lie."
"This heart sea is indeed incomplete,"
Li Fan looked around. He found that Situ Star’s thoughts were not continuous but had dark voids at regular intervals.
From these voids, Li Fan sensed the presence of Dao’s void.
These voids were now slowly expanding outward in sync with the true void outside.
One day, they would completely consume Situ Star's mind.
"Even if the doppelganger escaped the void, his inner self still suffers. Not just from material damage but also spiritual."
Li Fan carefully avoided these voids and first focused on the most prominent memory closest to him.
It was the pinnacle of Situ Star’s glory.
Even though he had fallen, his doppelganger remembered it vividly.
This was when Situ Star achieved namelessness!
Unlike the solitary scene Li Fan saw during Hunger Immortal's enlightenment, Situ Star’s memories showed countless True Immortals standing around him, offering congratulations and admiration.
In the distance, a grand figure was surrounded by many immortals.
"Congratulations to Situ!"
Situ Star bowed respectfully amidst the crowd's cheers.
"Award the Vastness Void domain."
"Award先天灵宝."
"Award ten thousand immortal servants."
...
Voices echoed in the crowd. Under their gaze, Situ Star’s thoughts fluctuated and his emotions ran high.
