fēn shēn yǎn huà chū shèng huáng nà yī shì ， bìng méi yǒu wán quán tàn míng xū shí de māo bǎo jiù zhǎn xiàn chū le sān dà nì tiān gōng néng ： wù pǐn fù zhì 、 shēng líng nǐ huà 、 yì jīng fá suǐ 。
分身衍化出圣皇那一世，并没有完全探明虚实的猫宝就展现出了三大逆天功能：物品复制、生灵拟化、易经伐髓。
The divine realm of the Primordial World was suddenly quiet, with all living beings uniformly raising their heads to gaze at the sky and holding their breaths in reverent silence.
nǎ pà shì rú jīn yǎn rán chéng wéi yī fāng zhēn zhèng xiān yù zào wù zhǔ de lǐ fán ， dōu wú fǎ qīng yì zuò dào zhè xiē shì qíng 。
哪怕是如今俨然成为一方真正仙域造物主的李凡，都无法轻易做到这些事情。
Then they slowly fell to their knees in worship.
ér māo bǎo jǐn jǐn zhǐ shì shòu liè zhī xiān qū bà le 。 tā bèi hòu shì lì de qiáng dà ， kě xiǎng ér zhī 。
而猫宝仅仅只是狩猎之先驱罢了。它背后势力的强大，可想而知。
The deities of the thirteen heavens were successively arranged in the sky. Five palaces shrouded in purple mist could be faintly seen beyond the clouds, as if they were floating between heaven and earth.
zuì guān jiàn de shì ， lǐ fán rú jīn yǐ jīng duì shuò xīng hǎi de shì lì qíng kuàng liǎo jiě de chà bu duō le 。 rán ér què sī háo méi yǒu fā xiàn gēn māo bǎo yǒu guān de zhū sī mǎ jì 。
最关键的是，李凡如今已经对朔星海的势力情况了解的差不多了。然而却丝毫没有发现跟猫宝有关的蛛丝马迹。
"Those are..." The divine beings vaguely sensed five godlike gazes from these buildings, looking down upon them with a commanding presence.
gù ér ， māo bǎo bèi hòu zhī shì lì 、 yào me lái zì gèng yáo yuǎn zhī wài de xīng kōng 。
故而，猫宝背后之势力、要么来自更遥远之外的星空。
The deities of the thirteen heavens seemed to have returned to their former glory. The pressure was intense, causing some divine beings to feel uneasy and almost bowing before those figures.
yào me ……
要么……
However, Nameless Void stopped them.
huò xǔ lái zì qí tā kě néng xìng ！
或许来自其他可能性！
"Divine consciousness."
rú guǒ zhǐ shì qián zhě ， nà hái hǎo shuō 。 ruò shì hòu zhě ……
如果只是前者，那还好说。若是后者……
"One becomes five."
nà me huò xǔ yào chóng xīn shěn shì yī xià xuán huáng jiè zhōng àn cáng de diào yú chí le 。
那么或许要重新审视一下玄黄界中暗藏的钓鱼池了。
It was no wonder that he could discern the true nature of the five figures from afar with his nameless realm.
rú jīn zhěng gè gāo qiáng nèi ， zhǐ shèng xià yī chù dì diǎn ， shàng bù zài lǐ fán de zhǎng kòng zhī nèi 。 nà biàn shì diào yú chí suǒ zài 。
如今整个高墙内，只剩下一处地点，尚不在李凡的掌控之内。那便是钓鱼池所在。
As the natural-born deities of the Primordial World, their power surpassed even the thirteen heavens.
diào yú chí nèi ， wàn qiān bǎo wù rú xīng guāng shǎn yào ， jiē shì diào yú chí cóng gè chù bǔ huò 。 dàn 【 yuán chū 】 kě néng xìng shēng jī diāo bì zhī xīng kōng ， sì hū bìng bù néng zhī chēng rú cǐ duō bǎo wù de chū xiàn 。
钓鱼池内，万千宝物如星光闪耀，皆是钓鱼池从各处捕获。但【原初】可能性生机凋敝之星空，似乎并不能支撑如此多宝物的出现。
Nameless Void believed he would not be intimidated by those thirteen heavens if he were to face them directly. But facing these five divine rulers of the Primordial World...
diào yú chí nèi bǎo wù wǎng wǎng dōu jù yǒu shí fēn xiān míng de tè diǎn ， jī hū měi yī jiàn 、 dōu lái zì yí gè dú tè de wén míng 。 zāo shòu dào yān zhī jié 、 jiù lián xiān jiè dōu yǐ jīng pò miè de 【 yuán chū 】 kě néng xìng ， yǐ jīng wú fǎ yùn yù rú cǐ duō bù tóng de xiū xiān wén míng liǎo 。
钓鱼池内宝物往往都具有十分鲜明的特点，几乎每一件、都来自一个独特的文明。遭受道湮之劫、就连仙界都已经破灭的【原初】可能性，已经无法孕育如此多不同的修仙文明了。
"If I don't use my last resort, it might be difficult," Nameless Void thought.
diào yú chí lián tōng de ， kě néng shì zhēn zhèng de zhū tiān wàn jiè 。
钓鱼池联通的，可能是真正的诸天万界。
"Who knew this divine realm would gather so many primordial beings?"
zhè yě shì lǐ fán jí biàn shí lì yǐ jīng néng gòu qīng yì ná niē wú míng zhēn xiān ， què yě méi yǒu shàn dòng diào yú chí de zuì gēn běn yuán yīn 。
这也是李凡即便实力已经能够轻易拿捏无名真仙，却也没有擅动钓鱼池的最根本原因。
This was completely unexpected. In the past, even though the divine realm was vast and boundless, there were few primordial beings. And those that could connect to the Vast Sea of Infinity were as rare as phoenix feathers or unicorn horns.
fǎn zhèng zhǐ yào bù qù zhāo rě tā ， diào yú chí jiù gēn zhēn zhèng de yī wāng chí táng bān ， jìng jìng dài zài nà lǐ 。 lǐ fán yě jiù bù yuàn mào zhe fēng xiǎn qù gān shè 。
反正只要不去招惹它，钓鱼池就跟真正的一汪池塘般，静静待在那里。李凡也就不愿冒着风险去干涉。
Now, this divine realm had gathered them all!
guò qù lǐ fán hái xū yào diào yú chí zhōng zhǒng zhǒng bǎo wù zhù lì zì jǐ xiū xíng 。 xiàn zài ma ……
过去李凡还需要钓鱼池中种种宝物助力自己修行。现在嘛……
"Who is that hidden emperor?" Nameless Void's heart sank as he searched for the creator of this divine realm but found nothing.
míng wù le 【 zhēn jiǎ zhī biàn 】 hòu ， chú le hái zhēn zhī wài ， shì shàng zài méi yǒu rèn hé lǐ fán nán yǐ gē shě de bǎo wù le 。
明悟了【真假之变】后，除了还真之外，世上再没有任何李凡难以割舍的宝物了。
No longer did he need to search. In the absolute silence of all living beings, Li Fan finally spoke out.
diào yú chí yǐ jí māo bǎo zhǒng zhǒng ， zàn qiě bù tí 。
钓鱼池以及猫宝种种，暂且不提。
Not from above or below, but from every corner of the Primordial World.
dāng lǐ fán cāo zòng zhe huà juàn zhǎn kāi zhī hòu ， shuò xīng hǎi zhēn xiān yǐ jīng zài qián lái bài hè de lù shàng le 。
当李凡操纵着画卷展开之后，朔星海真仙已经在前来拜贺的路上了。
"Rebuilding a divine realm after many years, achievements that will not fade away."
bìng bù xiǎng ràng zhè qún rén fā xiàn gāo qiáng de cún zài ， lǐ fán ràng lǐ bù rén yǐ jí sān dào tiān hén ， zhí jiē zài gāo qiáng wài děng hòu 。
并不想让这群人发现高墙的存在，李凡让李不仁以及三道天痕，直接在高墙外等候。
"The Primordial World's initial order has been established today, and the imperial court has begun."
hěn kuài ， zài 【 hùn dùn 】 de dài lǐng xià ， shuò xīng hǎi zhēn xiān biàn chū le dào wǎng fù gài de fàn wéi ， lái dào le yān miè dì nèi 。
很快，在【混沌】的带领下，朔星海真仙便出了道网覆盖的范围，来到了湮灭地内。
封：Central Heaven's Grand Central Emperor.
封：Eastern Azure Heaven's Purple Microcosm Emperor.
封：Western Great Heaven's Jade Light Emperor.
封：Southern Yellow Heaven's Dark Netherworld Emperor.
封：Northern Black Heaven's Eternal Longevity Emperor.
gēn guò qù xiāng bǐ ， jīng guò lǐ fán zhǔ dòng jí qǔ shuò xīng hǎi chōng pèi dào zé ， gāo qiáng fù jìn de yān miè dì lüè xiǎn shēng jī le yī xiē 。 zhǐ bù guò nà xiē bèi dào yān pò huài de dì fāng ， què shì méi yǒu bàn fǎ fù yuán le ， dì xíng yī jiù xiá zhǎi 、 xiū cháng 。
跟过去相比，经过李凡主动汲取朔星海充沛道则，高墙附近的湮灭地略显生机了一些。只不过那些被道湮破坏的地方，却是没有办法复原了，地形依旧狭窄、修长。
...
ér zhè qún zhēn xiān men zài tà zú de dì yī shí jiān ， jiù gǎn shòu dào le lǐ bù rén suǒ huà de dà dào tōng lù 。
而这群真仙们在踏足的第一时间，就感受到了李不仁所化的大道通路。
With each voice, the figures in the five palaces began to take on clear appearances and clothing.
「 yǒu diǎn yì si 。」
「有点意思。」
The pressure from these divine consciousnesses was immense, dividing the Primordial World into Central Heaven, Eastern Azure Heaven, Western Great Heaven, Southern Yellow Heaven, and Northern Black Heaven.
「 zhè bú shì lìng lèi de 【 dào wǎng 】 me ？」
「这不是另类的【道网】么？」
Five emperors took their seats amidst the heavens, each with a different environment evolving around them.
「 zhǐ kě xī xiān shòu nà bāng rén ， méi néng guò lái 。 fǒu zé kàn jiàn zhè tiáo dào lù ， tā men liǎn shàng de biǎo qíng yí dìng hěn yǒu qù 。」 yī dào shēng yīn zì dài duì de xū wú zhī diǎn zhōng fā chū 。
「只可惜仙狩那帮人，没能过来。否则看见这条道路，他们脸上的表情一定很有趣。」一道声音自带队的虚无之点中发出。
For example, in the Northern Black Heaven, all life could achieve eternal longevity, which was more vibrant than other realms.
qí tā zhēn xiān ， xíng zǒu zài 【 dào lù 】 zhī shàng ， yě shì shén qíng gè yì 。
其他真仙，行走在【道路】之上，也是神情各异。
In the Eastern Azure Heaven, life forms spontaneously ascended to higher states of existence due to their position within the realm. This manifested as an increase in their ability to draw upon infinite divine energy from the Vast Sea of Infinity.
shuāng fāng jiāo zhàn duō shí ， tā men yě suàn duì shuò xīng hǎi zhī dào wǎng shí fēn liǎo jiě le 。 zài tā men kàn lái ， jiǎo xià zhī dào lù ， sì hū bìng bù xùn sè yú 【 dào wǎng 】 duō shǎo 。
双方交战多时，他们也算对朔星海之道网十分了解了。在他们看来，脚下之道路，似乎并不逊色于【道网】多少。
Central Heaven was characterized by its balanced and peaceful nature. Though not seeking glory, it remained undefeated.
wèn tí shì píng shén me ？
问题是凭什么？
...
shuò xīng hǎi dào wǎng ， nǎi shì yǐ duō wèi wú míng wèi gēn jī dǎ zào ， zhū duō zhēn xiān jiā yǐ fú chí 。 gèng yǒu nà yī wèi zhǐ shǒu yìn dào wǎng ……
朔星海道网，乃是以多位无名为根基打造，诸多真仙加以扶持。更有那一位只手印道网……
The five emperors seemed like five great mountains pressing down on the divine beings.
duō fāng hé lì ， cái dàn shēng le zhè me yí gè néng shǐ fán rén yī yuè zhī jiān jiù néng gēn zhēn xiān jué lì de zào wù 。
多方合力，才诞生了这么一个能使凡人一跃之间就能跟真仙角力的造物。
This pressure was too much for them to bear, forcing even Nameless Void to bow his head in reverence.
ér yǎn qián dào lù ， kào de yòu shì shén me ne ？
而眼前道路，靠的又是什么呢？
"Those divine consciousnesses have grown stronger," Nameless Void thought in shock. "That resounding voice must be the hidden emperor."
jǐn jǐn shì nà wèi yǐn dì gè rén zhī gōng me ？
仅仅是那位隐帝个人之功么？
"Because of him, the divine consciousnesses truly gained recognition from this world and can now control various aspects..."
ruò zhēn rú cǐ ， nà me zhè wèi yǐn dì de shí lì ， kǒng pà bǐ tā men yù liào zhōng de hái yào gāo 。
若真如此，那么这位隐帝的实力，恐怕比他们预料中的还要高。
Nameless Void's thoughts raced. Even compared to the former ruling emperor, these newly crowned five emperors were on par.
zhòng xiān yǎn zhōng ， jù shì shǎn guò yōu sè 。
众仙眼中，俱是闪过忧色。
Could it be...
xíng bù duō shí ， zhòng rén yǎn guāng jiē shì bèi qián fāng chù lì zài xū kōng zhōng de yī gēn shí zhù gěi xī yǐn guò qù 。
行不多时，众人眼光皆是被前方矗立在虚空中的一根石柱给吸引过去。
A bold guess flashed through his mind. "Has that hidden emperor already walked the path of sainthood?"
shí zhù shàng shuò dà de 【 jìng 】 zì ， bù yóu ràng zhòng xiān xīn zhōng yī tiào 。
石柱上硕大的【静】字，不由让众仙心中一跳。
"Otherwise, how could he have done such things?"
tā men yě dōu tīng wén le xiān shòu wèi zhǎng lǎo bèi zhèn yā huà zhù de
他们也都听闻了仙狩卫长老被镇压化柱的
Nameless Void's heart could no longer remain calm.
shì qíng ， bù guò cǐ kè qīn yǎn suǒ jiàn ， hái shì ràng tā men xīn zhōng lüè gǎn dào yī gǔ hán yì 。
事情，不过此刻亲眼所见，还是让他们心中略感到一股寒意。
Though there had been past emperors in the divine realm, the Four Sages remained constant.
「 chéng wéi 【 yǐn dì 】， bú shì méi yǒu yuán yīn de a 。」 tā men àn zì fù fěi 。
「成为【隐帝】，不是没有原因的啊。」他们暗自腹诽。
No one knew when this divine realm was created, but a fifth sage had never appeared.
suī rán duì wèi zhǎng lǎo shēn biǎo tóng qíng ， què yě méi yǒu rén tí chū yào dā jiù 。
虽然对卫长老深表同情，却也没有人提出要搭救。
Could it be that with the destruction of the divine realm, the fifth sage would now emerge?
yuè guò shí zhù hòu ， lǐ bù rén gēn shí yī dào shí sān tiān hén ， zǎo yǐ jīng děng hòu duō shí le 。
越过石柱后，李不仁跟十一到十三天痕，早已经等候多时了。
Nameless Void lowered his head as he searched for signs of the hidden emperor. However, the hidden emperor seemed to have forgotten about them.
「 zhū wèi ， yòu jiàn miàn le 。」 shí sān liě zuǐ yī xiào ， yǔ qì sēn rán 。
「诸位，又见面了。」十三咧嘴一笑，语气森然。
After crowning the emperors, Nameless Void proceeded to crown the thirteen heavens.
ér shí yī gēn shí èr ， yě shì yòng dǎ liàng liè wù de yǎn shén dīng zhe miàn qián zhè qún zhēn xiān 。
而十一跟十二，也是用打量猎物的眼神盯着面前这群真仙。
The status of the heavens was slightly lower than that of divine consciousnesses and were given the title "Respectable."
céng jīng jiàn shí guò shí sān shēn shàng suǒ sàn fà de wú xiàn hǎi wēi shì ， zhè shí hòu jiàn dào tā shēn páng hái yǒu liǎng gè wán quán bù ruò yú tā de 。 qún xiān men jiē nán miǎn shén qíng jǐn zhāng ， mǎn shì bù zì zài qǐ lái 。
曾经见识过十三身上所散发的无限海威势，这时候见到他身旁还有两个完全不弱于他的。群仙们皆难免神情紧张，满是不自在起来。
In an instant, the formless heavens became fixed with shapes—some like ancient beasts, others like towering mountains, or even ordinary humans.
zhòng xiān zhōng ， wéi yǒu 【 hùn dùn 】 de zhù yì lì ， cóng tóu dào wěi dōu jí zhōng zài lǐ bù rén shēn shàng 。
众仙中，唯有【混沌】的注意力，从头到尾都集中在李不仁身上。
After the thirteen respected ones had been crowned, the grand voice gradually faded away.
sì hū gǎn yìng dào le lǐ bù rén bù jiǔ qián zì wú xiàn hǎi ér fǎn de tè shū qì xī ， hùn dùn de tài dù yě zài qiǎo rán jiān fā shēng le biàn huà 。
似乎感应到了李不仁不久前自无限海而返的特殊气息，混沌的态度也在悄然间发生了变化。
The five emperors and the thirteen respected ones began to select their subordinates among the divine beings of the Primordial World. It was a bustling scene.
lǐ bù rén xiǎn huà qī cǎi dào lù ， jiē yǐn zhòng xiān 。
李不仁显化七彩道路，接引众仙。
However, the observers from the Azure Heaven were left in the cold.
tà shàng tōng lù ， zhōu zāo jiē bèi wàn qiān xiá guāng suǒ lǒng zhào ， mù bù néng shì 、 ěr bù néng tīng 。
踏上通路，周遭皆被万千霞光所笼罩，目不能视、耳不能听。
It took over a hundred days for everything to settle down, during which Li Fan never appeared before them.
sì hū zài jí sù xiàng qián fēi dùn ， xū yú jiān wǎn ruò kuà guò qiān shān wàn shuǐ 。
似乎在急速向前飞遁，须臾间宛若跨过千山万水。
One day, dressed in fine attire, thirteen emerged before all living beings.
dài dào qī cǎi xiá guāng sàn qù zhī shí ， huī hóng shén shèng de hóng huāng xiān jiè ， zhòu rán jiān yuè rù zhòng xiān yǎn lián 。
待到七彩霞光散去之时，恢宏神圣的洪荒仙界，骤然间跃入众仙眼帘。
"Respectable," Nameless Void led with a bow, and the other divine beings followed suit.
nǎ pà hùn dùn wú míng ， yě zài dǒu rán jiān jiāng zhù 。
哪怕混沌无名，也在陡然间僵住。
Since being crowned as respected ones, Thirteen's demeanor had become more solemn. "The great master has ordered that you have finished your observation. It is time for you to leave."
píng yī fù huà juàn suǒ jiàn ， gēn zhēn zhèng qīn shēn tǐ yàn ， gēn běn wán quán shì liǎng gè bù tóng gài niàn 。
凭一副画卷所见，跟真正亲身体验，根本完全是两个不同概念。
The divine beings were taken aback.
tā men zhī qián cóng huà juàn zhōng suǒ gǎn shòu dào de ， bù rú cǐ kè wàn fēn zhī yī 。
他们之前从画卷中所感受到的，不如此刻万分之一。
"But we haven't seen..."
tiān gāo dì yuǎn ， wú yín liáo kuò 。
天高地远，无垠辽阔。
"Ah?" Thirteen's expression turned stern with clear disdain.
rú míng jìng bān fēn bù de dà zé ， yǐn yú yún wù zhōng de shān jiān ， gāo tiān zhī shàng yì lì de diàn yǔ ……
如明镜般分布的大泽，隐于云雾中的山尖，高天之上屹立的殿宇……
He almost said the four words, "You don't even deserve it."
shēng jī pēng pài ， yùn yù wú xiàn kě néng 。
生机澎湃，孕育无限可能。
"Respectable Thirteen has grown much stronger," Nameless Void reflected and finally bowed in respect.
gèng ràng zhòng xiān men shén qíng huǎng hū ， wǎn ruò huí guī xiān jiè gù tǔ de ， hái shì cǐ jiè chōng yíng wú bǐ de wú xiàn xiān lì 。
更让众仙们神情恍惚，宛若回归仙界故土的，还是此界充盈无比的无限仙力。
Then he led the observers back to the Azure Heaven through the re-emerged seven-colored path.
tā men bù zhī dào yǐ jīng yǒu duō jiǔ ， méi yǒu xiǎng shòu guò zhè bān shū shì de gǎn jué le 。
他们不知道已经有多久，没有享受过这般舒适的感觉了。
"Ugh..."
suī rán zhèng dào zhēn xiān de nà yī kè ， tā men zì shēn de lì liàng yě tóng yàng jù bèi liǎo wú xiàn de xìng zhì 。
虽然证道真仙的那一刻，他们自身的力量也同样具备了无限的性质。
Perhaps due to spending too long in an environment filled with infinite divine energy, the divine beings felt a sense of discomfort when they returned to the Azure Heaven.
dàn tā men yī jiù duì zhè zhǒng zhōu wéi jìn shì 【 wú xiàn 】 de fēn wéi ， wú bǐ huái niàn 。
但他们依旧对这种周围尽是【无限】的氛围，无比怀念。
The stark contrast made them look towards where the Primordial World was located. But as the seven-colored path closed, they could no longer return.
zài xià jiè de shēng huó zhōng ， yǐ tā men de shí lì ， dí què bú huì shòu dào shén me shí zhì xìng de shāng hài 。 què yī jiù guò de shí fēn biè niǔ 。 wǎn ruò shēn chù ní nìng zhǎo zé zhī zhōng ， suī yì néng tà bù ， rán ér xíng zǒu jiān jiàn qǐ de ní shuǐ ， hái shì ràng tā men xīn shēng bù shì 。
在下界的生活中，以他们的实力，的确不会受到什么实质性的伤害。却依旧过的十分别扭。宛若深处泥泞沼泽之中，虽亦能踏步，然而行走间溅起的泥水，还是让他们心生不适。
It took a long time for the divine beings to adapt to the harsh environment of the Azure Heaven again. Their expressions varied as they pondered their thoughts.
cǐ kè tà zú cǐ chù hóng huāng xiān jiè ， dàng zhēn rú yú rù shuǐ 、 rú niǎo fēi tiān 。
此刻踏足此处洪荒仙界，当真如鱼入水、如鸟飞天。
Nameless Void fulfilled his duty by safely returning them and providing crucial information, especially regarding Li Fan's strength, which forced the Azure Heaven forces to adjust their strategies.
jiù xiàng huí dào le jiā yī yàng 。
就像回到了家一样。
However, Nameless Void himself remained distracted after his return.
The divine realm of the Primordial World was suddenly quiet, with all living beings uniformly raising their heads to gaze at the sky and holding their breaths in reverent silence.
Then they slowly fell to their knees in worship.
The deities of the thirteen heavens were successively arranged in the sky. Five palaces shrouded in purple mist could be faintly seen beyond the clouds, as if they were floating between heaven and earth.
"Those are..." The divine beings vaguely sensed five godlike gazes from these buildings, looking down upon them with a commanding presence.
The deities of the thirteen heavens seemed to have returned to their former glory. The pressure was intense, causing some divine beings to feel uneasy and almost bowing before those figures.
However, Nameless Void stopped them.
"Divine consciousness."
"One becomes five."
It was no wonder that he could discern the true nature of the five figures from afar with his nameless realm.
As the natural-born deities of the Primordial World, their power surpassed even the thirteen heavens.
Nameless Void believed he would not be intimidated by those thirteen heavens if he were to face them directly. But facing these five divine rulers of the Primordial World...
"If I don't use my last resort, it might be difficult," Nameless Void thought.
"Who knew this divine realm would gather so many primordial beings?"
This was completely unexpected. In the past, even though the divine realm was vast and boundless, there were few primordial beings. And those that could connect to the Vast Sea of Infinity were as rare as phoenix feathers or unicorn horns.
Now, this divine realm had gathered them all!
"Who is that hidden emperor?" Nameless Void's heart sank as he searched for the creator of this divine realm but found nothing.
No longer did he need to search. In the absolute silence of all living beings, Li Fan finally spoke out.
Not from above or below, but from every corner of the Primordial World.
"Rebuilding a divine realm after many years, achievements that will not fade away."
"The Primordial World's initial order has been established today, and the imperial court has begun."
封：Central Heaven's Grand Central Emperor.
封：Eastern Azure Heaven's Purple Microcosm Emperor.
封：Western Great Heaven's Jade Light Emperor.
封：Southern Yellow Heaven's Dark Netherworld Emperor.
封：Northern Black Heaven's Eternal Longevity Emperor.
