第1524章 跨时空锚点

suī rán shàng bàn shēn qū yǐ jīng chéng wéi yī tān xuè ròu ， dàn lǐ fán réng jiù kě yǐ “ gǎn shòu ” dào ， tài tiān dì suǒ zèng yǔ de nì xíng mù zhōu ， yī rán jìng jìng cún zài yú zì jǐ de “ nǎo hǎi ” zhī zhōng 。

虽然上半身躯已经成为一滩血肉，但李凡仍旧可以“感受”到，泰天帝所赠与的逆行木舟，依然静静存在于自己的“脑海”之中。

Although his experience with the逆行之道mostly came from the传承 of Heavenly Emperor, their encounters in the Time River were vastly different.

cǐ kè suí zhe lǐ fán jí dù de nì liú kě qiú ， nì xíng zhōu zhōu zāo kāi shǐ sàn fà chū jīng yíng wēn rùn de bái guāng 。 bìng qiě sì hū hái yǒu sī sī lǜ yì bàn suí bái guāng zuǒ yòu 。

此刻随着李凡极度的逆流渴求，逆行舟周遭开始散发出晶莹温润的白光。并且似乎还有丝丝绿意伴随白光左右。

Despite experiencing more turbulent waves, Li Fan did not feel as much of the erosion and peeling sensation that Heavenly Emperor felt. The first time Heavenly Emperor attempted to reverse time, he barely lasted three thousand years before feeling completely dissolved by the Time River, forcing him to return to reality.

xiàn shí shì jiè de jǐng xiàng ， wǎn ruò bèi pō le shuǐ hòu de huà ， màn màn róng jiě 、 niǔ qū 。

现实世界的景象，宛若被泼了水后的画，慢慢溶解、扭曲。

Now, on his first attempt, Li Fan had already reversed several millennia, yet he did not feel much of the so-called deprivation pressure. If it weren't for the lack of a Longevity Path to guide him and the overwhelming waves in the river that made reverse navigation impossible, Li Fan might have felt confident about continuing indefinitely.

yī zhèn jī hū wú fǎ rěn shòu de tòng kǔ ， yě suí zhī chū xiàn zài lǐ fán de nǎo hǎi zhī zhōng 。 jiù xiàng bèi yì wàn dào suǒ liàn ， tóng shí guàn chuān le tóu lú 。 ér hòu suí zhe gāo sù de xuán zhuǎn ， zhè yì wàn gēn suǒ liàn yě suí zhī zài lǐ fán de nǎo zi lǐ fān jiāng dǎo hǎi 。

一阵几乎无法忍受的痛苦，也随之出现在李凡的脑海之中。就像被亿万道锁链，同时贯穿了头颅。而后随着高速的旋转，这亿万根锁链也随之在李凡的脑子里翻江倒海。

As time reversed back approximately eight thousand years, the waves in the Time River became too tumultuous to navigate. Li Fan was swept up, unable to discern the flow of time. He carefully observed every detail in the river, hoping to find a glimmer of hope before it was too late.

“ a a a ！”

“啊啊啊！”

However, he was not destined for luck.

jí biàn yǐ jīng méi le nǎo dài ， lǐ fán shèng xià de xuè ròu zǔ zhī ， dōu yīn wèi zhè zhǒng nán yǐ yán shuō de tòng kǔ gǎn ér kāi shǐ jìng luán chàn dǒu qǐ lái 。

即便已经没了脑袋，李凡剩下的血肉组织，都因为这种难以言说的痛苦感而开始痉挛颤抖起来。

Boom!

tài tiān dì suī rán jiāng duì yú nì xíng zhī dào de gǎn wù jìn shù chuán shòu ， dàn què gēn běn méi yǒu tí guò ， fā dòng nì xíng zhōu de fù zuò yòng jìng rán rú cǐ kě bù 。

泰天帝虽然将对于逆行之道的感悟尽数传授，但却根本没有提过，发动逆行舟的副作用竟然如此可怖。

The remnants of the逆行舟began to disintegrate as Li Fan, without the protection of the treasure boat, faced an exponentially increased pressure from the Time River. He finally understood what Heavenly Emperor meant by the sensation of melting.

lǐ fán yī xī jì de ， zài guò qù de mó nǐ zhī zhōng ， zì jǐ yě céng jīng lì guò zhǒng zhǒng tòng chǔ zhé mó 。 dàn què shì quán dōu yuǎn yuǎn bù jí xiàn zài de suǒ zāo shòu de wàn fēn zhī yī 。

李凡依稀记得，在过去的模拟之中，自己也曾经历过种种痛楚折磨。但却是全都远远不及现在的所遭受的万分之一。

With each flush of the river, Li Fan lost a part of himself—his cultivation, his divine abilities, and his enlightenment experiences. These external attachments gradually detached as they were washed away by the river. Only the core within persisted in its struggle.

tòng chǔ tóng bù zhì xuè ròu 、 shén hún 、 yì zhì 、 jì yì zhī nèi 。

痛楚同步至血肉、神魂、意志、记忆之内。

When the true core was damaged, Li Fan instinctively felt an extreme threat to his life. He knew he could not continue; even a hasty landing would be better than dying in the Time River.

sì hū màn yán zhì le lǐ fán zhēn zhèng de nèi lǐ 。

似乎蔓延至了李凡真正的内里。

Manipulating the broken逆行舟, Li Fan gradually detached from the reverse path's enlightenment. The scene of the Time River faded from his vision, replaced by a deluge of rain.

zhōu wéi jiàn jiàn chuán lái yǐn yuē de fēng yǔ zhī shēng ， wú shù de “ shuǐ dī ”， yíng miàn dǎ lái 。

周围渐渐传来隐约的风雨之声，无数的“水滴”，迎面打来。

Almost instantly, Li Fan lost his bearings. Trapped between the Time River and reality, he faced a dilemma: advancing might lead him back into the river, while staying here would continue to erode his core until it was too late.

měi yī dī dōu rú shì shàng zuì fēng lì de dāo rèn ， duì lǐ fán jìn xíng zhe qiē gē 。

每一滴都如世上最锋利的刀刃，对李凡进行着切割。

Just as Li Fan hesitated, he noticed a familiar light amidst the torrential rain before him. This could be a connection from eight thousand years ago when he had encountered this light.

yú shì lǐ fán yù fā gǎn dào tòng kǔ 。

于是李凡愈发感到痛苦。

Even though it did not exist in past time, this encounter formed a temporal anchor point across space and time.

bù guò lái zì jì yì zhōng de wú xíng jù dà lì liàng ， yǐ jīng chè dǐ wán chéng le duì jǐn cún shēn qū de niǎn yā 。 xuè ròu bù cún ， xiǎng yào huó mìng de lǐ fán ， yǐ jīng méi yǒu le tuì lù 。

不过来自记忆中的无形巨大力量，已经彻底完成了对仅存身躯的碾压。血肉不存，想要活命的李凡，已经没有了退路。

Li Fan knew how difficult it was to find something related to himself in those eight thousand years of storms.

zài wú biān de tòng chǔ zhī zhōng ， miǎn qiǎng bǎo chí le yī sī shén zhì de qīng xǐng 。 jì xù wéi chí zhe nì xíng zhōu lì liàng de bù sàn 。

在无边的痛楚之中，勉强保持了一丝神智的清醒。继续维持着逆行舟力量的不散。

Seizing the opportunity, Li Fan immediately maneuvered the broken逆行舟towards the fleeting light. With the anchor guiding him, he finally crossed through the Time River's storm before returning to reality.

fēng yǔ zhī shēng yuè lái yuè dà 。

风雨之声越来越大。

玄黄界. 前八千六百四十三年，初始锚点！

yíng miàn shuǐ dī bù zài shì gū gū dān dān ， ér shì jiē lián chéng xiàn 。

迎面水滴不再是孤孤单单，而是接连成线。

"Those streaks... is it the Medicine King Sect? ! How dare they run away?"

nì xíng zhōu zài bù duàn de pèng zhuàng zhī zhōng ， fā chū zhèn zhèn hōng míng jù xiǎng 。 sì hū suí shí huì bēng jiě sǎn jià 。

逆行舟在不断的碰撞之中，发出阵阵轰鸣巨响。似乎随时会崩解散架。

"Hurry and inform the elders!"

hǎo zài guān jiàn shí hòu ， yǐn cáng de nà xiē lǜ guāng jí shǐ zhàn fàng ， hěn kuài xiū fù zhe zhōu shēn shàng de shāng shì 。

好在关键时候，隐藏的那些绿光即使绽放，很快修复着舟身上的伤势。

"Wait! The Medicine King Sect, though a small sect, has considerable assets. They wouldn't leave everything behind in such haste..."

jiān chí lì jīng jiǔ xī shí jiān 。

坚持历经九息时间。

"Hurry up and go. Don't let others beat you to it!"

wú shù de shuǐ dī de lián xiàn ， zhōng yú huì jù chéng hé 。

无数的水滴的连线，终于汇聚成河。

"Wait, what is that? Another streak of light?"

chà nà zhī jiān ， lǐ fán zhuì rù qí zhōng 。 suǒ yǒu tā gǎn shòu dào de tòng kǔ ， zài zhè yī shùn jiān quán dōu xiāo shī bú jiàn le 。

刹那之间，李凡坠入其中。所有他感受到的痛苦，在这一瞬间全都消失不见了。

"Could it be that the Medicine King Sect changed their minds and decided not to run away?"

tā fǎng fú cóng zhěng gè shì jiè zhōng tuō lí chū lái 。

他仿佛从整个世界中脱离出来。

"Let's check it out first."

shì jiǎo cóng dà xuán xiǎo shì jiè 、 xuán huáng jiè zhōng shēng téng ér qǐ ， zài wēi wēi jìng zhǐ le piàn kè zhī hòu ， kāi shǐ dào huí 。

视角从大玄小世界、玄黄界中升腾而起，在微微静止了片刻之后，开始倒回。

...

lǐ fán yáo wàng jiàn le zì jǐ jìn rù shān hǎi yú chǎng xià fēng bì cūn luò de huà miàn ， kàn jiàn le zì jǐ zhèn yā shōu fú xuán huáng ruò mù de chǎng jǐng 。 kàn jiàn le zì jǐ zuò wéi tài shī ， wēi yā tiān xià 。 kàn jiàn le zì jǐ gāng gāng sū xǐng jì yì ， bèi pò guàn xià ě xīn de fú shuǐ ……

李凡遥望见了自己进入山海渔场下封闭村落的画面，看见了自己镇压收服玄黄若木的场景。看见了自己作为太师，威压天下。看见了自己刚刚苏醒记忆，被迫灌下恶心的符水……

When Li Fan regained consciousness, he was surrounded by several figures.

shí guāng cháng hé tāo tāo ， nì liú ér shàng de mù zhōu zhàn zhàn jīng jīng 。

时光长河滔滔，逆流而上的木舟战战兢兢。

"Hmm?"

sì hū shāo yǒu bù shèn ， jiù yǒu qīng fù de wēi xiǎn 。

似乎稍有不慎，就有倾覆的危险。

Still dazed, Li Fan only noticed his surroundings as the surrounding cultivators counted their spoils while occasionally glancing at him.

bù guò ， zhèng yīn wèi zài guò qù suì yuè zhōng ， zì jǐ céng jīng jīng lì de zhè xiē cún zài ， wǎn ruò yī méi méi máo diǎn ， shǐ de lǐ fán néng gòu měi nì xíng yī duàn shí jiān ， dōu kě “ jiè lì ”， wěn zhù zài cháng hé zhōng de shēn xíng 。

不过，正因为在过去岁月中，自己曾经经历的这些存在，宛若一枚枚锚点，使得李凡能够每逆行一段时间，都可“借力”，稳住在长河中的身形。

"You finally woke up," one of them said.

dàn dāng lǐ fán yǐ jīng huí dào le máo dìng 1 nián ， xiǎng yào zài sù liú ér shàng zhī jì 。 shì qíng qǐ le biàn huà 。

但当李凡已经回到了锚定1年，想要再溯流而上之际。事情起了变化。

"Quickly tell us what happened in the Medicine King Sect. If you cooperate, I might spare your life. Otherwise..."

yuè guò zhè zhòng yào shí jiān jié diǎn de shùn jiān ， shí guāng cháng hé de chōng shuā qǐng kè jiān xiōng měng le qiān bǎi bèi yǒu yú 。

越过这重要时间节点的瞬间，时光长河的冲刷顷刻间凶猛了千百倍有余。

"Don't waste time with him. Just search his soul!"

jiù xiàng shì cóng yuán běn qīng chè tuān jí de hé dào zhōng ， jìn rù le gèng jiā hún zhuó xiōng yǒng de fàn wéi 。 lǐ fán zài yě wú fǎ cóng shí guāng cháng hé zhōng kàn dào rèn hé de jǐng xiàng 。

就像是从原本清澈湍急的河道中，进入了更加浑浊汹涌的范围。李凡再也无法从时光长河中看到任何的景象。

"You fool! These streaks are so obvious that they can't be hidden. How will we explain it to the elders?"

zhōu zāo jìn shì wǎn ruò qiān wàn sè zé róng hé hòu de yǒng dòng xiàn tiáo 。 zhē yǎn le lǐ fán zhè wèi nì xíng zhě de gǎn zhī 。

周遭尽是宛若千万色泽融合后的涌动线条。遮掩了李凡这位逆行者的感知。

The group whispered among themselves, completely ignoring Li Fan's bound state.

cháng hé zhōng tū rán bào fā de kě bù lì liàng ， chà diǎn jiù jiāng cù bù jí fáng de nì xíng zhōu ， zhí jiē cuī huǐ 。 mù zhōu shēn shàng de bái guāng ， gēn tāo tāo cháng hé yī bǐ ， shí zài tài guò wēi ruò 。 shèn zhì bù rú hé shuǐ zhōng rèn yì yī dī 。 bù guò què jié lì wéi chí zhe bái guāng ， shǐ de zhōu shēn bù zhì yú bèi dāng chǎng chōng kuǎ 。

长河中突然爆发的可怖力量，差点就将猝不及防的逆行舟，直接摧毁。木舟身上的白光，跟滔滔长河一比，实在太过微弱。甚至不如河水中任意一滴。不过却竭力维持着白光，使得舟身不至于被当场冲垮。

Li Fan did not pay attention to them but instead checked his current condition. Although his body had almost entirely vanished in the Time River, he regained a new form upon returning to reality.

lǐ fán xīn zhōng míng bái nì xíng shī bài de hòu guǒ 。

李凡心中明白逆行失败的后果。

However, Li Fan felt a bit disappointed as the Longevity Path seemed to have suffered significant damage from this journey. This damage appeared irreversible for now.

bìng fēi zhǐ shì zài dù huí dào xiàn shí zhī zhōng nà me jiǎn dān 。

并非只是再度回到现实之中那么简单。

"Since it wasn't truly mine but given by Lord Shouqiu," Li Fan said with a self-deprecating smile.

tā jiāng huì chè dǐ xiāo shī zài lì shǐ zhī zhōng ， shì shàng zài wú tā céng jīng cún zài guò de yìn jì 。

他将会彻底消失在历史之中，世上再无他曾经存在过的印记。

"Hmm?"

lǐ fán jié lì xiǎng yào niǔ zhuǎn zì shēn mìng yùn 。

李凡竭力想要扭转自身命运。

"Lord Shouqiu?"

dàn wēi wēi gè rén ， gēn zhe hào hàn de shí guāng cháng hé xiāng bǐ ， shí zài tài guò miǎo xiǎo 。 nǎ pà tōng xiāo le nì xíng zhī dào ， cǐ kè shēn chù zhǎng hé zhī zhōng ， yě zhǐ néng shēn bù yóu jǐ 、 tīng tiān yóu mìng 。

但微微个人，跟着浩瀚的时光长河相比，实在太过渺小。哪怕通宵了逆行之道，此刻身处长河之中，也只能身不由己、听天由命。

After a moment, Li Fan realized that he had traveled eight thousand years in reverse time. While his cultivation and divine abilities were washed away, his lost memories returned to him.

sì hū yǐ jīng shì jué jìng zhī zhōng 。

似乎已经是绝境之中。

The events of the past two lives unfolded before him, making him sigh inwardly.

bù guò lǐ fán réng méi yǒu fàng qì qiú shēng ， yī jiù shì bǐng chí nì xíng zhī dào ， jié lì cāo zòng nì xíng zhōu 。

不过李凡仍没有放弃求生，依旧是秉持逆行之道，竭力操纵逆行舟。

"Because of my greed, I've brought about countless changes."

zhèng mìng de tóng shí ， lǐ fán xīn zhōng yì yǒu tài duō de bù jiě 。

挣命的同时，李凡心中亦有太多的不解。

"The consequences of merging the Paths of Mountains and Seas, Eternal Life, and Authenticity are indeed beyond what I can bear now."

gēn jù tài tiān dì de chuán chéng ， nì xíng lǚ tú bù yīng gāi huì rú cǐ jiān nán cái shì 。 zuì qǐ mǎ ， zài huí sù shí jiān wéi chí zài qiān nián yǐ nèi de fàn wéi shí ， jí biàn shì pò sǔn bù kān 、 jí jiāng jiě tǐ de nì xíng zhōu ， yě zú yǐ yìng duì cháng hé zhōng fàn qǐ de fēng làng 。

根据泰天帝的传承，逆行旅途不应该会如此艰难才是。最起码，在回溯时间维持在千年以内的范围时，即便是破损不堪、即将解体的逆行舟，也足以应对长河中泛起的风浪。

"Fortunately, my luck wasn't too bad. Even in a state of amnesia, I found great opportunities."

dàn xiàn zài ， lǐ fán bù guò nì liú ér shàng le bù guò wǔ shí nián de shí jiān ， cháng hé zhōng zhòu rán xiān qǐ de fēng làng ， qí wēi shì shèn zhì yǐ jīng kān bǐ nì xíng wàn nián hòu de guī mó ！

但现在，李凡不过逆流而上了不过五十年的时间，长河中骤然掀起的风浪，其威势甚至已经堪比逆行万年后的规模！

"The reverse path..."

yào zhī dào ， gēn jù tài tiān dì de jīng yàn ， wǎng guò qù huí sù de yuè jiǔ ， suǒ xū chéng shòu de yā lì yě huì yuè lái yuè dà 。 jī hū shì chéng zhǐ shù de zēng jiā 。

要知道，根据泰天帝的经验，往过去回溯的越久，所需承受的压力也会越来越大。几乎是呈指数的增加。

Li Fan lowered his head, recalling everything he had experienced in the Time River, his eyes reflecting an unusual hue.

ér xiàn zài ， lǐ fán cái gāng gāng qǐ bù ， jiù yǒu le rú cǐ dà de zǔ lì ……

而现在，李凡才刚刚起步，就有了如此大的阻力……

"Authenticity." After some thought, Li Fan called out to it first.

hěn nán xiǎng xiàng ， dāng tā huí sù wàn nián 、 sān wàn nián zhī shí ， suǒ yù dào de fēng làng yòu huì yǒu duō dà ！

很难想象，当他回溯万年、三万年之时，所遇到的风浪又会有多大！

The repeated failure of 还真made Li Fan feel extremely uneasy. There was still no response.

“ zěn huì rú cǐ ！”

“怎会如此！”

However, after careful感应, Li Fan confirmed that Authenticity was indeed within him, though seemingly in a deep sleep due to some reason.

lǐ fán xīn zhōng wàn fēn jīng yí 。

李凡心中万分惊疑。

I recommend a new book: Simulation Novel. If you're interested, you can check it out.

hū de ， tā huí xiǎng qǐ le xiān qián zài cháng hé zhōng kuī jiàn de nà xiē shǔ yú zì jǐ suǒ jīng lì de yǐng xiàng 。

忽的，他回想起了先前在长河中窥见的那些属于自己所经历的影像。

Simulation Novel. 「You are the son of Flame Emperor and have been born into this world」 「In Zhuolu, you meet a competitive Ji surname girl and easily defeat her」 「You promote agriculture, forge weapons, and dispel superstitions; you are given the derogatory title of Chiyou by celestial deities」 「You sacrifice your father to make a final stand against destiny」
