dān rèn xuán huáng dà tiān zūn wàn zài zhī hòu ， cóng lǐ lùn shàng lái jiǎng yī yǔ tóng yǐ jīng néng jié shù zhè duàn shǐ mìng le 。
担任玄黄大天尊万载之后，从理论上来讲伊雨桐已经能结束这段使命了。
After understanding the situation, Yuan Fei quickly moved to the location where the First Sovereign's body lay. "It is here," he said with a sigh.
dàn xiǎng yào zhǎo yí gè hé shì jiē bān rén ， què bìng bù róng yì 。
但想要找一个合适接班人，却并不容易。
The spatial coordinates had changed over time, but the core of the Yellow Emperor’s Heavenly Dao still existed in this place. The First Sovereign’s body was lying quietly within it, emitting faint traces of divine energy that nourished the Yellow Emperor’s World.
dāng gài lǜ xiǎo dào yí dìng chéng dù hòu ， gēn bù kě néng yě jiù méi le qū bié 。 yī yǔ tóng yòu kǔ kǔ xún zhǎo le liù qiān duō nián ， jī hū fān biàn le zhěng gè xuán huáng jiè 。 què shǐ zhōng méi yǒu zhǎo dào néng gòu mǎn zú jì rèn yāo qiú de rén 。
当概率小到一定程度后，跟不可能也就没了区别。伊雨桐又苦苦寻找了六千多年，几乎翻遍了整个玄黄界。却始终没有找到能够满足继任要求的人。
With Yi Ru’s memories, Yuan Fei easily broke through the barriers and approached the First Sovereign's body. "Not weak at all," he commented as he observed from a distance. The aura emitted by this body was still far from reaching the level of nameless realm, but it surpassed the Xi Yi Immortals he had encountered in the Shuo Star Sea.
yī yǔ tóng zhè cái shì zhēn zhèng míng bái le ， wèi shén me dāng chū xuán tiān wáng zài fā xiàn zì jǐ zhī hòu ， jìng huì jīng xǐ shī tài 。
伊雨桐这才是真正明白了，为什么当初玄天王在发现自己之后，竟会惊喜失态。
"This is an immortal’s body without any consciousness. It would be perfect for creating puppets," Yuan Fei thought with a hint of excitement.
jiǔ qiú wú guǒ ， jiàn jiàn dì yī yǔ tóng yǐ jīng kàn dàn le 。 nài xīn chǔ lǐ xuán huáng shì wù de xián xiá shí jiān ， jiù jì qíng yú shān shuǐ jiān 。 xīn zhōng zuò hǎo le gēn zhè piàn tiān dì ， tóng shēng gòng sǐ de zhǔn bèi 。
久求无果，渐渐地伊雨桐已经看淡了。耐心处理玄黄事务的闲暇时间，就寄情于山水间。心中做好了跟这片天地，同生共死的准备。
The First Sovereign's body lay undisturbed in the Yellow Emperor’s World for ten thousand years, protected by the efforts of countless generations of Heavenly Daoists. Even though it lacked self-awareness, its divine energy naturally shielded it from harm. However, no one could withstand Yuan Fei’s power.
zhí dào ……
直到……
"Xuanyuan Hong might be capable of this too, but his nature may not allow him to do so," Yuan Fei thought indifferently. He believed that everything in the world was available for use and without any psychological burden.
xuán huáng tài yuán jiè dà zhàn bào fā ， yī dào liè xì héng kōng ， xuán huáng zhēn xiān lín zhèn tū pò 、 lì wǎn kuáng lán de huà miàn zài shì rén miàn qián fú xiàn 。
玄黄太元界大战爆发，一道裂隙横空，玄黄真仙临阵突破、力挽狂澜的画面在世人面前浮现。
With these thoughts, he carefully examined the First Sovereign's body and set up an array on the spot to ensure no issues would arise before starting the creation of a divine puppet. Drawing from the ancient array’s divine energy, Yuan Fei began the process with great effort but ultimately succeeded.
zuò wéi xuán huáng jiè zhōng duì “ xiān ” liǎo jiě zuì wèi shēn kè de nà yī pī rén ， jī hū shì nà yī wèi zài xiǎn lù zì shēn shí lì de shùn jiān ， tā jiù rèn chū le nà shǔ yú zhēn xiān jìng jiè de dú tè qì xī 。
作为玄黄界中对“仙”了解最为深刻的那一批人，几乎是那一位在显露自身实力的瞬间，她就认出了那属于真仙境界的独特气息。
As the puppet's consciousness gradually awakened, it stopped nourishing the Yellow Emperor’s World naturally. The world seemed to lose its vibrant colors and appeared different.
jì ér xīn zhōng yǒng qǐ wàn fēn de yí huò 。
继而心中涌起万分的疑惑。
"Indeed, if Su Bai had not left with the First Sovereign's body, who knows how long the Yellow Emperor’s World could have survived," Yuan Fei thought as he continued his work.
míng míng xiān lù yǐ duàn ， jiù lián xuán tiān wáng nà bān de tiān cái dōu zhǐ néng chéng jiù bàn xiān zhī jìng 。 zhè shì shàng yòu zěn me kě néng chū xiàn xīn de zhēn xiān ne ？
明明仙路已断，就连玄天王那般的天才都只能成就半仙之境。这世上又怎么可能出现新的真仙呢？
Suddenly, the awareness of the Yellow Emperor’s Heavenly Dao rushed over him. He was filled with shock and anger but quickly turned to gratitude and flattery when he saw Yuan Fei.
hòu lái nà wèi zhēn xiān zhàn fàng chū wú bǐ guāng máng hòu ， yòu zhuǎn shùn rú liú xīng bān shì qù 。 tā xīn zhōng zhè cái shì rán 。
后来那位真仙绽放出无比光芒后，又转瞬如流星般逝去。她心中这才释然。
"Good job. You learned quickly," Yuan Fei nodded in satisfaction.
bù guò tóng shí ， xīn zhōng wú fǎ yì zhì de chōng dòng yě shēng téng ér qǐ 。
不过同时，心中无法抑制的冲动也升腾而起。
He divided a portion of the divine energy from the ancient array and set up an array here, providing nourishment for the Yellow Emperor’s World. He knew that even with this division, it would not significantly impact him. However, he would not allow the world to fall into turmoil.
“ ruò shì yǒu zhēn xiān de shí lì ， huò xǔ jiù néng wú shì zhè dà tiān zūn de zhǒng zhǒng zhì gù le ba 。 bì jìng xiān jiè zǎo yǐ jīng pò miè ……”
“若是有真仙的实力，或许就能无视这大天尊的种种桎梏了吧。毕竟仙界早已经破灭……”
The Yellow Emperor’s Heavenly Dao quickly transformed its mood from worry to joy and left happily. It did not realize how much control Yuan Fei now had over its existence.
niàn tou yí dàn shēng qǐ ， jiù zài yě wú fǎ yā xià 。
念头一旦升起，就再也无法压下。
Meanwhile, Yuan Fei was trying to use the residual memories in the puppet's body to understand the First Sovereign's life. The First Sovereign indeed possessed remarkable abilities. The division between immortals and mortals was thorough.
yú shì ， tā mào zhe jí dà de fēng xiǎn ， shēng píng dì yī cì lí kāi xuán huáng jiè 、 qián wǎng le tài yuán jiè zhōng 。
于是，她冒着极大的风险，生平第一次离开玄黄界、前往了太元界中。
Even after thoroughly cleaning the body, Yuan Fei only found a few deeply embedded memory fragments.
yào zhī dào ， tā yī shēn shí lì ， jué dà duō shù dōu shì lái zì yú xuán huáng dà tiān zūn de jiā chí 。 chū le xuán huáng jiè ， tā yě jiù gēn xún cháng de hé dào xiū shì méi yǒu le qū bié 。 nà piàn tǔ dì shàng yǔn luò le duō shǎo de hé dào xiū shì ， yī yǔ tóng shì shí fēn qīng chǔ de 。 jiù suàn xiàn zài zhàn zhēng píng xiē ， méi yǒu le tài yuán xiū shì de wēi xié 。 dàn yì yù tǔ dì ， huì yù dào shén me wēi xiǎn shuí yě bù hǎo shuō 。
要知道，她一身实力，绝大多数都是来自于玄黄大天尊的加持。出了玄黄界，她也就跟寻常的合道修士没有了区别。那片土地上陨落了多少的合道修士，伊雨桐是十分清楚的。就算现在战争平歇，没有了太元修士的威胁。但异域土地，会遇到什么危险谁也不好说。
These memories were crucial parts of the First Sovereign’s life, imprinted in his essence, even with the separation between immortal and mortal realms.
dàn yī yǔ tóng hái shì qù le 。
但伊雨桐还是去了。
"This must be the Dampening Dao's calamity," the First Sovereign thought as he watched the once glorious celestial palace collapse silently. The golden and splendid heavenly palaces turned into a dark abyss filled with silence.
bù jǐn jǐn qián qù xuán huáng zhēn xiān yǔn luò dì diǎn cān guān mó bài ， gèng zhān yǎng le nà yī dào jīng tiān jiàn hén 。
不仅仅前去玄黄真仙陨落地点参观膜拜，更瞻仰了那一道惊天剑痕。
This silence was rapidly spreading towards him. Countless immortals vanished in this terrifying calamity, unable to cry out or seek help. They were gone forever.
huí lái zhī hòu ， yī yǔ tóng guǒ rán yǐn yǒu shōu huò 。
回来之后，伊雨桐果然隐有收获。
The First Sovereign felt overwhelming despair but did not even consider fleeing. He knew there was no way out.
nà wèi xuán huáng zhēn xiān suǒ cán liú de qì xī ， ràng yī yǔ tóng gǎn dào le shí fēn de shú xī 。
那位玄黄真仙所残留的气息，让伊雨桐感到了十分的熟悉。
Suddenly, a figure appeared between heaven and earth. All the immortals retreated in panic, except for him who stood bravely against the Dampening Dao's tide.
zhè fèn shú xī gǎn ， lái zì qián bàn shēng jiē chù dào de xuán tiān wáng ， yì lái zì cóng xiǎo gòng fèng de wú miàn shén xiàng 。
这份熟悉感，来自前半生接触到的玄天王，亦来自从小供奉的无面神像。
He was like a mountain or a dam standing firm, preventing the terrifying surge from advancing!
“ yuán lái rú cǐ 。 shì wǒ cuò le 。”
“原来如此。是我错了。”
A clear boundary line split his vision into two halves: one side representing death and nothingness, while he stood on the other side, full of life and light. Like all the rescued immortals, the First Sovereign gazed at this towering figure for a long time.
“ jì rán zhè shì shàng hái yǒu xiān cún huó ， nà jiù shuō míng xiān lù bìng méi yǒu duàn jué 。 míng wèi chéng xiān de zhōng diǎn ， shǐ zhōng dōu zài nà lǐ 。 bèi huǐ miè de zhǐ shì xiān jiè 。 zhǐ shì tōng xiàng zhōng diǎn de qí zhōng yī tiáo dào lù ……”
“既然这世上还有仙存活，那就说明仙路并没有断绝。名为成仙的终点，始终都在那里。被毁灭的只是仙界。只是通向终点的其中一条道路……”
Only after much time did he learn the name of this supreme being—Sacrificial Altar Lord.
píng jiè zhe zhè fèn shú xī gǎn ， yī yǔ tóng sì hū néng gòu yǐn yǐn chù mō dào xiān de biān jiè le 。
凭借着这份熟悉感，伊雨桐似乎能够隐隐触摸到仙的边界了。
"Can the Heavenly Net Emperor accomplish what Sacrificial Altar Lord could not?" The First Sovereign seemed to be arguing with someone. Despite his friend’s efforts, he was still filled with anger.
zuò huà de tóng shí ， tā de shén sī ， yě shùn zhe xīn zhōng shú xī gǎn de lián xì 、 piāo chū le xuán huáng jiè 。
作画的同时，她的神思，也顺着心中熟悉感的联系、飘出了玄黄界。
"He lacks self-awareness! Yet, he still led a group of people," "No wonder even Sacrificial Altar Lord had to leave."
huǎng hū jiān ， jiàn dào le yī piàn hào hàn lián mián shān hǎi jǐng xiàng ！
恍惚间，见到了一片浩瀚连绵山海景象！
"Immortal realm is lost." This thought echoed in his mind like thunder and could not be quelled.
……
……
"I heard that the Heavenly Net Emperor is strictly investigating those who resist immortal governance, especially the fleeing true immortals from the lower realms," a friend’s voice whispered into his ear.
lǐ fán huǎn huǎn hé shàng yī yǔ tóng zhī shū ， liǎn shàng lù chū jǐ fēn níng zhòng de shén qíng 。
李凡缓缓合上伊雨桐之书，脸上露出几分凝重的神情。
"This is the Lankao Daoist Hall."
jū rán zài wù dào zhōng ， kuī jiàn liǎo wú xiàn hǎi gēn shàng fāng shān zhī jǐng 。
居然在悟道中，窥见了无限海跟上方山之景。
"Since you have come here, choose any place in this world to cultivate."
zhè xiǎn rán yǐ yī yǔ tóng de tiān fù ， shì wú fǎ zuò dào de 。 wéi yī kě néng de jiě shì ， jiù shì shòu dào nà suǒ wèi shú xī gǎn de qīn shí yǐng xiǎng 。
这显然以伊雨桐的天赋，是无法做到的。唯一可能的解释，就是受到那所谓熟悉感的侵蚀影响。
The First Sovereign’s consciousness swept through countless divided spatial blocks. Suddenly, he stopped when he saw one of them.
jiù xiàng lǐ fán ， zhī qián shí bù shí jiù huì kàn dào yī dào zuò shān wàng hǎi de yì lì bèi yǐng 。
就像李凡，之前时不时就会看到一道坐山望海的屹立背影。
"If I am not mistaken, that person seems familiar," he thought as he recognized a figure from his past journey with Sacrificial Altar Lord.
zhè jǐng xiàng bìng fēi shì tā qiè shēn suǒ jiàn 。
这景象并非是他切身所见。
"Shh..." A silent laugh came from beside him.
ér shì xiū xíng shǒu qiū màn bǐ 、 jìn rù le shǒu qiū gōng suǒ chuán chéng dào tú hòu suǒ fā shēng de biàn huà 。
而是修行守丘漫笔、进入了守丘公所传承道途后所发生的变化。
The First Sovereign could only remain silent.
“ suǒ yǐ yī yǔ tóng wù dào shān hǎi zhī lái yuán ， shì ……”
“所以伊雨桐悟道山海之来源，是……”
"Indeed, my choice was correct."
rú jīn yī yǔ tóng yǐ huà zuò tiān zhù ， wǎn rú qì jù bān de cún zài 。
如今伊雨桐已化作天柱，宛如器具般的存在。
"I will choose this place. Where there are great figures, it must be the right decision,"
lǐ fán yǐ qí wèi méi jiè ， wán quán zhàn jù le duì fāng xīn shén 。 zǐ xì yán jiū qǐ ， tā zhè shú xī gǎn de yuán tóu 。
李凡以其为媒介，完全占据了对方心神。仔细研究起，她这熟悉感的源头。
"He died."
“ bú shì xuán tiān wáng 。”
“不是玄天王。”
"Such a powerful being can also die."
“ ér shì wú miàn xiān ……”
“而是无面仙……”
"And he died in the mortal realm." The First Sovereign looked at the newly formed, illusory Yellow Emperor’s World with shock and confusion.
yī fān biàn bié zhī hòu ， lǐ fán dé chū liǎo jié lùn 。
一番辨别之后，李凡得出了结论。
The fall of that figure was unexpected, but the creation of this illusory world was equally shocking. "Though it is an illusion, it is real," "It does not need a real-world foundation," "Even in the Dampening Dao's calamity, it can float like a wooden boat!"
After understanding the situation, Yuan Fei quickly moved to the location where the First Sovereign's body lay. "It is here," he said with a sigh.
The spatial coordinates had changed over time, but the core of the Yellow Emperor’s Heavenly Dao still existed in this place. The First Sovereign’s body was lying quietly within it, emitting faint traces of divine energy that nourished the Yellow Emperor’s World.
