“ zhěng gè chén shì jiān ， bāo kuò shān hǎi ， yě bù guò shì dà le yī hào de 【 wú jiàn lún huí 】？”
“整个尘世间，包括山海，也不过是大了一号的【无间轮回】？”
"Wow, little brother! It's not about the final outcome!"
“ jiù xiàng zhēn shí tiān zūn ， wú lùn rú hé cháng shì ， yě wú fǎ gǎi biàn xuán huáng jiè bèi xiān xū tūn mò de mìng yùn nà yàng 。 shān hǎi yě zuì zhōng nán táo xiāng róng zhī sù mìng 。”
“就像真实天尊，无论如何尝试，也无法改变玄黄界被仙墟吞没的命运那样。山海也最终难逃相融之宿命。”
"Ridiculous alien races, since you've come here, just stay and let me deal with you!"
“ zěn me yàng ， cái néng zhēn zhèng gǎi biàn 、 chāo tuō ne ？”
“怎么样，才能真正改变、超脱呢？”
Before Li Fan could react, Cheng Dao had already vanished from his spot. The hidden network of the Great Wall suddenly emitted an endless glow, rapidly expanding to encompass the entire surviving starry sky surrounding the annihilation ground.
……
……
The giant thousand-handed meat ball was caught in the net without any warning. Although it relied on the ancient primordial energy provided by Li Fan to cross possibilities, the massive disturbance caused upon its arrival also hinted at its formidable strength. It might well be that this alien race had fused into a single entity, including the Primordial Thirteen Forms, making its power not something to be underestimated.
dāng wú jiàn lún huí de shí jiān zài dù chóng qǐ hòu ， lǐ fán de yì niàn yǐ jīng cóng zhōng lí kāi 。 dàn zhè cì cháng shì suǒ dài lái de yí huò ， què zì cǐ hòu shǐ zhōng yíng rào lǐ fán xīn tóu 。
当无间轮回的时间再度重启后，李凡的意念已经从中离开。但这次尝试所带来的疑惑，却自此后始终萦绕李凡心头。
Despite being ensnared, it was not alarmed but rather delighted.
jiǔ jiǔ nán xiāo 。
久久难消。
"Delicious!"
shèn zhì tā qiāo qiāo zài xiàn shí zhōng shí yàn tiān zhù xiān dī de shí hòu ， dōu shí cháng xīn tóu shǎn guò xiāng guān sī xù 。
甚至他悄悄在现实中实验天柱仙堤的时候，都时常心头闪过相关思绪。
"You know how to entertain guests so well; I must thank you properly!"
shì shí zhèng míng ， wú jiàn lún huí jī hū gēn 【 yuán chū 】 kě néng xìng wán quán yí zhì 。 lǐ fán zài qí zhōng de shí yàn chéng guǒ ， dàng zhēn kě yǐ yuán fēng bù dòng 、 zhào bān zhì xiàn shí zhī zhōng 。
事实证明，无间轮回几乎跟【原初】可能性完全一致。李凡在其中的实验成果，当真可以原封不动、照搬至现实之中。
"Jajaja!"
dāng chéng dào jiàn shí dào le lǐ fán suǒ zhǎn shì de gòu zhù xiān dī shǒu duàn hòu ， yě bù yóu tàn fú ：“ shī dì nǐ dàng zhēn shì tiān zòng qí cái ， zhè cái guò qù duō jiǔ ， jiù néng jiāng zhè gōng chéng fù zhì le ？ ér qiě hái jǐn jǐn shì píng jiè jì yì zhōng de kuī tàn ， bìng méi yǒu shí dì dào fǎng 。”
当承道见识到了李凡所展示的构筑仙堤手段后，也不由叹服：“师弟你当真是天纵奇才，这才过去多久，就能将这工程复制了？而且还仅仅是凭借记忆中的窥探，并没有实地到访。”
A myriad of raucous laughter echoed from the meat ball. Numerous images of ferocious beasts appeared on its surface—some with their eyes gouged out, others beheaded. All were incomplete and bloody but all engaged in "eating," as if devouring the entire universe.
“ zhī xiǎo le qí yuán lǐ hòu ， xiǎng yào fù xiàn ， běn jiù bù nán 。 shī xiōng wù dào hòu de nà xiē xīn shēng dào wǎng ， cái shì zhēn zhèng de bù fán 。 zhè xiē ， dōu kě shì bìng bù cún zài yú wǒ men de shì jiè zhōng 。” lǐ fán zhǐ zhe wéi rào gāo qiáng de dào wǎng ， shí fēn qiān xū dào 。
“知晓了其原理后，想要复现，本就不难。师兄悟道后的那些新生道网，才是真正的不凡。这些，都可是并不存在于我们的世界中。”李凡指着围绕高墙的道网，十分谦虚道。
This monster emitted a massive pull that was different from the hunger spirit's. The alien fusion body simply wanted to consume without any reason other than hunger itself.
jiù zài lǐ fán cān wù xiān dī de tóng shí ， chéng dào yě yǐ jīng jiāng yuán běn de sī sī dào xián ， zhēn zhèng róng rù le dào wǎng zhī zhōng 。 lǐ fán kě yǐ yǐn yǐn gǎn jué dào ， yǒu le zhè xiē shēng lì jūn de jiā rù ， gāo qiáng - shuò xīng hǎi fù jìn xīng kōng ， zài dù biàn dé wěn gù le xǔ duō 。
就在李凡参悟仙堤的同时，承道也已经将原本的丝丝道弦，真正融入了道网之中。李凡可以隐隐感觉到，有了这些生力军的加入，高墙-朔星海附近星空，再度变得稳固了许多。
Everything under heaven and earth—merely sustenance for it!
sì hū duō le yuán běn bù cún zài de zhè xiē dào zé fǔ zhù zhī chēng hòu ， qǐ dào le yī jiā yī dà yú èr de xiào guǒ 。
似乎多了原本不存在的这些道则辅助支撑后，起到了一加一大于二的效果。
In addition to consumption, the thousand-handed meat ball also displayed a frenzied acceptance and integration. It seemed intent on incorporating Li Fan and everything in this starry sky into its own being.
chéng dào zì shì yě zhù yì dào le zhè děng yì xiàng ， tā xiàng lǐ fán jiǎng shù le yī zé yì shì 。
承道自是也注意到了这等异象，他向李凡讲述了一则轶事。
The sea of stars was left with a small gap due to the monster's bite. Li Fan had not anticipated how quickly the alien fusion body could consume and digest the essence of existence.
céng jīng ， tā zài gēn shǒu qiū gōng gōu tōng guò chéng zhōng ， xún wèn guò dǐ yù dào yān de kě néng fāng fǎ 。 shī chéng shǒu qiū ， chéng dào yě xiǎng xiào fǎng dāng nián shī zūn zhuàng jǔ ， yī rén jiù yī shì 、 wǎn kuáng lán yú jì dào 。
曾经，他在跟守丘公沟通过程中，询问过抵御道湮的可能方法。师承守丘，承道也想效仿当年师尊壮举，一人救一世、挽狂澜于既倒。
Not only did it devour, but within an extremely short time, it transformed these essences into part of its power.
shǒu qiū gōng bìng méi yǒu cháo xiào tú dì de bù zì liàng lì ， fǎn ér rèn zhēn de gěi chū le liǎng tiáo jiàn yì 。
守丘公并没有嘲笑徒弟的不自量力，反而认真的给出了两条建议。
Li Fan clearly saw that the meat ball gained over a hundred new tentacles due to this consumption.
yī shì ， jì xù xiū xíng 【 xū yǐng chéng dào 】 zhī shù 。 zhǐ yào zú gòu qiáng dà ， zòng rán zuì zhōng nán gǎi bèi dào yān tūn shì mìng yùn ， dàn huò xǔ néng jiān chí dào shān hǎi xiāng róng zuì hòu yí kè 。
一是，继续修行【虚影承道】之术。只要足够强大，纵然最终难改被道湮吞噬命运，但或许能坚持到山海相融最后一刻。
"Devilish beast!"
rú guǒ shuō dì yī zhǒng fāng fǎ ， shì yǐ wài lì xiāng zhù 。 nà me dì èr zhǒng fāng fǎ zé shì ， bāng kě néng xìng zì shēn qiáng hèng qǐ lái 。 běn jiù shí fēn jiān shí ， zì rán jiù bù zài xū yào shén me tiān zhù 、 xū yǐng 。
如果说第一种方法，是以外力相助。那么第二种方法则是，帮可能性自身强横起来。本就十分坚实，自然就不再需要什么天柱、虚影。
Cheng Dao's roar caused the visible network of the Great Way to emit even brighter light. A giant hand appeared in the starry sky, pressing down on the alien fusion body with relentless force. Another hand gently beckoned towards the location where the thousand-handed meat ball had appeared.
zhǐ bù guò chéng dào suǒ chù de kě néng xìng ， zǎo jiù shì bìng rù gāo huāng 、 qiān chuāng bǎi kǒng le 。 jué zhèng wǎn qī hái xiǎng yào nì zhuǎn ， zì rán yào xíng tè shū zhī jǔ 。
只不过承道所处的可能性，早就是病入膏荒、千疮百孔了。绝症晚期还想要逆转，自然要行特殊之举。
As the beasts greedily gnawed at it, they remained immovable. Cheng Dao's figure was even more stable than the Great Way itself.
xī qǔ qí tā kě néng xìng dà dào ， tián bǔ zì shēn suǒ quē 。
吸取其他可能性大道，填补自身所缺。
The alien fusion body could devour the essence of existence but was helpless against the stubborn rocks of the mountains and seas!
sǔn yǒu yú ， ér fèng bù zú ！
损有余，而奉不足！
In that instant, due to the backlash, tens of thousands of tentacles shattered in agony. The vague bloody flesh on the ground seemed to contain their original forms. However, they did not even have time to struggle before new tiny tentacles emerged from the alien fusion body's surface, dragging the bloodied flesh back inside.
shǒu qiū gōng hái gào sù chéng dào ， shān hǎi jiān dí què cún zài zhè lèi rén ， héng dù zhì qí tā kě néng xìng zhōng ， chōu qǔ 、 liàn huà dà dào 。 ér hòu fǎn huí zì shēn gù tǔ ， wéi xì jiāng qīng zhī tiān 。
守丘公还告诉承道，山海间的确存在这类人，横渡至其他可能性中，抽取、炼化大道。而后返回自身故土，维系将倾之天。
Soon, more tentacles grew out of the giant meat ball.
“ zhè biàn shì duì yìng shī zūn suǒ shuō de le ba 。 kàn lái fán shì guǒ zhēn yào qīn zì yàn zhèng yī fān ， zì jǐ zài zěn me kōng xiǎng zhuó mó ， yě bù rú shàng shǒu yī shì 。” chéng dào fǔ xū ér xiào ， xiǎn rán shì duì zì jǐ de jié zuò pǒ wèi mǎn yì 。
“这便是对应师尊所说的了吧。看来凡事果真要亲自验证一番，自己再怎么空想琢磨，也不如上手一试。”承道抚须而笑，显然是对自己的杰作颇为满意。
"Wind comes!"
lǐ fán gēn chéng dào suì jí hù xiāng jiāo liú le bǐ cǐ xīn dé 。
李凡跟承道遂即互相交流了彼此心得。
In the starry sky, Cheng Dao's giant hand continued to press down on the alien fusion body. The other hand gently beckoned towards the location where the thousand-handed meat ball appeared, creating a void in the annihilation ground.
suī shì wěi zhuāng ， dàn xiāng chǔ de jìng yě zhēn xiàng shì qīn shī xiōng dì bān 。
虽是伪装，但相处的竟也真像是亲师兄弟般。
A buzzing sound like a hurricane approached as the hammering sounds resumed. However, this time, it was not about splitting the sea and opening new paths; instead, it was about attracting waves of annihilation!
shí jiān jiù zài zhè zhǒng jí wéi róng qià de fēn wéi zhōng yī shǎn ér guò ， zhuǎn shùn jiān ， jiù shì wǔ shí nián guò qù 。
时间就在这种极为融洽的氛围中一闪而过，转瞬间，就是五十年过去。
Li Fan's eyes widened as he realized that Cheng Dao had never used this technique before, even during their discussions. Clearly, the alien fusion body's consumption had triggered his true power.
chéng dào yī jiù méi yǒu děng lái shǒu qiū gōng de chuán xùn ， ér lǐ fán jiǔ hòu de tài gǔ shí sān dào xíng ， què shì zhōng yú shàng mén le 。
承道依旧没有等来守丘公的传讯，而李凡久候的太古十三道形，却是终于上门了。
"That wave... is real annihilation!"
zhè yī rì ， gāo qiáng - shuò xīng hǎi biān chuí ， chuán lái sī sī yì dòng 。
这一日，高墙-朔星海边陲，传来丝丝异动。
"Only in a gentle breeze form?!"
wǎn ruò jù dà yóu chuán ， chéng fēng pò làng yǐn qǐ de bō tāo ， bù duàn pāi dǎ zài hǎi tān zhī shàng 。 běn jiù bèi yān miè dì huán rào bāo wéi ， zhǐ kào zhe gāo qiáng dào wǎng zhī chēng 。
宛若巨大游船，乘风破浪引起的波涛，不断拍打在海滩之上。本就被湮灭地环绕包围，只靠着高墙道网支撑。
Li Fan's eyes sparkled with curiosity as he quickly understood the secret behind Cheng Dao's divine art.
cǐ kè shòu dào zhè gǔ jù liè zhèn dòng ， shà shí jiān yóu rú jù dà hǎi xiào zhōng gū líng líng de xiǎo dǎo ， yǒu le jí jiāng qīng fù zhī gǎn 。
此刻受到这股剧烈震动，霎时间犹如巨大海啸中孤零零的小岛，有了即将倾覆之感。
"The essence of annihilation is the merging of mountains and seas."
lǐ fán gēn chéng dào tóng shí shǎn shēn chū xiàn ， kàn xiàng yì xiàng chuán lái de fāng xiàng 。
李凡跟承道同时闪身出现，看向异象传来的方向。
"When mountains and seas meet, waves crashing against the shore is the merging. But the howling winds between them are also..."
gēn shì jiè zhī wài ， dào yān jiāng zhì shí de qíng jǐng ， jí wéi xiāng sì 。
跟世界之外，道湮将至时的情景，极为相似。
Watching the countless tentacles of the alien fusion body evaporate in the ripples caused by the mountain-sea wind, Li Fan felt as if he saw the wind from the mountains and seas purifying the world.
zhǐ bù guò shì chú le shān hǎi hū xiào zhī yīn wài ， hái duō le wǎn ruò jīn shǔ zhòng chuí bù tíng pèng zhuàng 、 hōng jī de chén mèn shēng xiǎng 。
只不过是除了山海呼啸之音外，还多了宛若金属重锤不停碰撞、轰击的沉闷声响。
"Before the great tide comes, the breeze has already arrived."
suí zhe měi yī cì shēng yīn de xiǎng qǐ ， jìng shì yǒu yī tiáo sī xiàn ， cóng wú dào yǒu ， yú xū wú zhōng bèi kāi pì 。
随着每一次声音的响起，竟似有一条丝线，从无到有，于虚无中被开辟。
"Only those who look out at the sea can foresee it first."
mèn xiǎng shēng bù duàn ， wàn qiān dào sī xiàn zài chóng hé zhī zhōng ， biàn dé gèng jiā cū zhuàng 。 wǎn ruò shén lì fēn hǎi ， yìng shēng shēng cóng dào yān zhī zhōng ， chuàng zào chū yī tiáo dào lù 。
闷响声不断，万千道丝线在重合之中，变得更加粗壮。宛若神力分海，硬生生从道湮之中，创造出一条道路。
While Li Fan was contemplating this revelation, Cheng Dao's voice echoed in his ears.
lǐ fán dīng zhuó yǎn qián qí jǐng ， hū de xiǎng qǐ le ， céng jīng hēi tiān yī chōng pò gāo qiáng 、 hōng rán jiàng shì de nà yí mù 。
李凡盯着眼前奇景，忽的想起了，曾经黑天医冲破高墙、轰然降世的那一幕。
The alien fusion body was indeed formidable. Under the mountain-sea wind, perhaps even the vast expanse of the Star Sea could not withstand much longer. But it managed to persist with its extraordinary regenerative abilities.
“ shī xiōng ， nǐ kě zēng jiàn guò ， yǒu rén kuà yuè kě néng xìng ér lái ？”
“师兄，你可曾见过，有人跨越可能性而来？”
Even after the ripples removed billions of surface tentacles, countless new ones emerged from within.
chéng dào wén yán ， wēi wēi yī lèng ， ér hòu xiǎng dào le cǐ qián lǐ fán gēn tā tí guò de yì zú wú míng 。
承道闻言，微微一愣，而后想到了此前李凡跟他提过的异族无名。
These were its consumed kin, now serving as layers of protection.
shén qíng dùn shí biàn dé yán sù qǐ lái 。
神情顿时变得严肃起来。
Knowing that he was no match for this wind master, and having no other choice but to face his predicament, the alien fusion body's ferocity only intensified.
“ kàn lái ， nà shén me dì sān mò ， yǒu suǒ yǐn mán a 。”
“看来，那什么帝叁貘，有所隐瞒啊。”
A myriad of piercing screams echoed from the surface of the meat ball, transforming into their original beast forms before flying away in all directions.
“ zhè děng dòng jìng ， kě bù xiàng shì jiǎn dān de shí sān wèi wú míng zhēn xiān ， jiù néng yǐn fā de 。”
“这等动静，可不像是简单的十三位无名真仙，就能引发的。”
The giant meat ball itself split open a huge gap at its center. A deep orange-yellow eye hidden within this fissure stared out, causing even the mountain-sea ripples to pause momentarily.
lǐ fán yě fù hè diǎn tóu ：“ nà zhèn shēng néng duǎn zàn bī tuì dào yān …… xún cháng wú míng zhēn xiān ， pà shì zhí jiē huì bèi zhè shēng xiǎng gěi zhèn dé huī fēi yān miè 。”
李凡也附和点头：“那震声能短暂逼退道湮……寻常无名真仙，怕是直接会被这声响给震得灰飞烟灭。”
Although the mountain-sea wind quickly returned to normal, it gave the scattered tentacles precious time to escape.
“ bù guò yǒu shī xiōng zài ， dào yě bù jù tā men 。”
“不过有师兄在，倒也不惧他们。”
If Li Fan were not there...
chéng dào xiào le xiào ， yě shì lěng shēng dào ：“ bǔ tiān de cái liào ， zì rán shì duō duō yì shàn 、 lái zhě bù jù 。”
承道笑了笑，也是冷声道：“补天的材料，自然是多多益善、来者不惧。”
After flying for a short while, all the myriad beasts vanished without a trace. It seemed as if some unknown hunter had been waiting for them.
shuò xīng hǎi biān chuí de yì xiàng yuè lái yuè zhuàng lì ， zhí dào xū wú zhōng de nà lǚ sī xiàn ， chè dǐ yóu xū zhuǎn shí 。 zhè zhèn shēng cái jiá rán ér zhǐ 。 yī dào lǜ sè chōng tiān guāng zhù ， piàn kè zhī hòu ， biàn cóng zhè dào sī xiàn zhōng fēi chū 。
朔星海边陲的异象越来越壮丽，直到虚无中的那缕丝线，彻底由虚转实。这震声才戛然而止。一道绿色冲天光柱，片刻之后，便从这道丝线中飞出。
The alien fusion body even sensed that its missing parts met the same fate as those swept away by the mountain-sea ripples—completely disconnected from it.
guāng zhù bèi hòu ， dào yān chóng xīn tūn mò le sī xiàn 。
光柱背后，道湮重新吞没了丝线。
"What in the world is this thing!"
"Wow, little brother! It's not about the final outcome!"
"Ridiculous alien races, since you've come here, just stay and let me deal with you!"
Before Li Fan could react, Cheng Dao had already vanished from his spot. The hidden network of the Great Wall suddenly emitted an endless glow, rapidly expanding to encompass the entire surviving starry sky surrounding the annihilation ground.
The giant thousand-handed meat ball was caught in the net without any warning.
