shǒu qiū gōng zuò shān wàng hǎi de gǎn wù ， xuán tiān wáng de huí sù xuán yīn ， nǎi zhì zhè zhé zhǐ yī dào 。 dà dǐ dōu kě shì zuò lǐ fán qián tà zhī jiē tī 。
守丘公坐山望海的感悟，玄天王的回溯玄音，乃至这折纸一道。大抵都可视作李凡前踏之阶梯。
Eternal Sovereign observed the current state of the Fallen Realm, finding that it was much smaller than a thousand years ago. It seemed to be just a projection of the normal Yellow and Black World, with some minor differences after several years of evolution. It appeared still in its early stages of development, with many future existences not yet born.
wù zhī 、 xué zhī ， ér hòu gǎn zhī 、 huà zhī 。
悟之、学之，而后感之、化之。
However, he noticed something interesting: a large amount of new time-space had recently emerged within the Fallen Realm. According to their birth times, they seemed to coincide with the intense battle between the Yellow and Black World and the Primordial Era.
jì ér yí bù bù chù mō nà nán yǐ yán shuō de zhēn jiǎ zhī biàn 。
继而一步步触摸那难以言说的真假之变。
"Could it be..."
lǐ fán xīn zhōng dìng jì ， qū zhǐ zài tiān xuán jìng miàn shàng yī dàn 。 bèi chuàng zào le yí bàn de xīn shēng qì líng qǐng kè jiān huī fēi yān miè 。
李凡心中定计，屈指在天玄镜面上一弹。被创造了一半的新生器灵顷刻间灰飞烟灭。
Eternal Sovereign's mind raced as his divine sense wandered through these newly born time-spaces.
jìng xuán jiàn zhuàng ， zhǎng shū le yì kǒu qì 。
镜玄见状，长舒了一口气。
Returning from his inspection, he looked unusually: "Indeed. With the full connection between the Yellow and Black World and the Primordial Era, the Fallen Realm seems to have invaded the Primordial Era."
bù guò piàn kè zhī hòu ， chá jué dào lǐ fán bù duàn qīng fǔ de dòng zuò ， bù zhī zěn de 、 xīn zhōng hū de yǒng qǐ yī zhèn bù miào de yù gǎn 。
不过片刻之后，察觉到李凡不断轻抚的动作，不知怎的、心中忽的涌起一阵不妙的预感。
That bloody battlefield of the two worlds quietly appeared within the Fallen Realm.
bìng fēi shì jìng xuán de cuò jué 。
并非是镜玄的错觉。
The only thing that reassured Eternally Sovereign was that there was no trace of his True Immortal self in this newly born time-space.
cóng tā páng biān sàn fà zhe mò míng qì xī de 【 èr fēn xiān zhǒng 】 zhōng ， qiǎo rán zī shēng chū gǔ gǔ lì liàng ， chù shǒu bān chán rào suǒ fù zhe tiān xuán jìng 。 jiāng tiān xuán jìng bǎng de yán yán shí shí zhī hòu ， yòu cóng bǐ cǐ jiē chù de wèi zhì fēn huà chū wú shù gèng jiā xì xiǎo de mò duān 。 zài lǐ fán de zhǐ shì xià ， sì wú jì dàn de zài tiān xuán jìng biǎo miàn yī cùn cùn sǎo guò 。
从他旁边散发着莫名气息的【二分仙种】中，悄然滋生出汩汩力量，触手般缠绕锁缚着天玄镜。将天玄镜绑的严严实实之后，又从彼此接触的位置分化出无数更加细小的末端。在李凡的指示下，肆无忌惮的在天玄镜表面一寸寸扫过。
"Otherwise, I would be worrying about how to transform the Yellow and Black World instead of escaping."
yī gǔ sì céng xiāng shí de gǎn jué fú xiàn zài jìng xuán xīn tóu 。
一股似曾相识的感觉浮现在镜玄心头。
While pondering, Eternal Sovereign made another trip to the Primordial Era. Sure enough, he found that elusive dream cloud above it.
“ xuán tiān ， wǒ dài zǒu le 。”
“玄天，我带走了。”
"Not only does it reflect the world at a glance, but it also grows with time."
bù zhī wèi hé ， tā de ěr biān jìng zài dù xiǎng qǐ liǎo dàng chū nà wèi xuán tiān wáng qīng méi zhú mǎ duì tā suǒ shuō zhī huà 。
不知为何，他的耳边竟再度响起了当初那位玄天王青梅竹马对他所说之话。
"In the original existence, the Yellow and Black World struggled to survive on the edge of the Immortal Vortex without any growth conditions. Now, things are different."
“ nán dào ……”
“难道……”
"The Primordial Era... and beyond..."
tiān xuán jìng běn néng de zhàn lì qǐ lái ， bāo guǒ zài tā biǎo miàn de èr fēn xiān zhǒng zhī lì ， zé shì zhèn chàn de gèng jiā jù liè 。 jiù xiàng shì fèi téng de yū ní ， yí gè gè qì pào fān téng bù zhǐ 。
天玄镜本能的战栗起来，包裹在他表面的二分仙种之力，则是震颤的更加剧烈。就像是沸腾的淤泥，一个个气泡翻腾不止。
Eternal Sovereign's gaze turned towards the surroundings of the Primordial Era.
jìng xuán jí lì kàng jù ， què dīng diǎn de fǎn kàng zhī lì dōu méi yǒu 。
镜玄极力抗拒，却丁点的反抗之力都没有。
The Ten Sects of Daoism were enthusiastically exploring the unknown starry skies nearby.
zhǐ néng yǎn zhēng zhēng de kàn zhe ， lìng wài yí gè zì jǐ ， zài zhè “ yū ní ” zhōng màn màn shēng zhǎng chū lái ！
只能眼睁睁的看着，另外一个自己，在这“淤泥”中慢慢生长出来！
Eternal Sovereign also sensed the vitality in the distant starry seas.
yǔ tiān xuán 、 xuán tiān xiāng duì de ， dì sān miàn jìng zi jiàng shì le 。
与天玄、玄天相对的，第三面镜子降世了。
He seemed to see the ghostly shadow of the fallen immortals following behind the ten sects.
zhǐ shì lǐ fán jiē guò jìng zi yī fān guān chá hòu ， biàn yáo tóu fǒu jué le 。
只是李凡接过镜子一番观察后，便摇头否决了。
"It seems necessary to impose some restrictions."
“ suī yǒu qí xíng ， què wú qí líng 、 qí shén 。 fèi wù yī jiàn ！”
“虽有其形，却无其灵、其神。废物一件！”
His inner sense told him that watching it grow was not a wise choice.
shēng yīn bīng lěng ， shǒu zhōng wēi wēi yòng lì 。 zài yī zhèn lìng rén máo gǔ sǒng rán de gē zhī shēng xiǎng zhōng ， zhè xīn shēng de tiān xuán jìng jiù qǐng kè jiān huà zuò le jī fěn 。 guī huán yú èr fēn xiān zhǒng zhī zhōng 。
声音冰冷，手中微微用力。在一阵令人毛骨悚然的咯吱声响中，这新生的天玄镜就顷刻间化作了齑粉。归还于二分仙种之中。
"Even if it's just a reflection, it still has real power. It can float on the Void Inhaling like a wooden boat."
jìng xuán shèn zhì yǐn yǐn tīng dào le ， lìng wài yí gè zì jǐ de qī cǎn āi háo zhī shēng 。
镜玄甚至隐隐听到了，另外一个自己的凄惨哀嚎之声。
The initial evaluation of the Fallen Realm by the first generation still lingered in his mind, so he did not take any chances.
bèi xià chū yī shēn lěng hàn ， jìng xuán yě gù bù dé zì jǐ bèi yòng lái dàng zuò fù zhì shí yàn pǐn de gǔ guài gǎn shòu le 。 zài lǐ fán de shěn shì zhī xià ， lián máng dào chū le zài gāng gāng nà chǎng de tà yìn zhōng ， zì jǐ chá jué dào de gēn fù zhì tǐ yǒu nǎ xiē bù tóng de fāng miàn 。 yǐ cǐ zhèng míng zì jǐ de jià zhí suǒ zài 。
被吓出一身冷汗，镜玄也顾不得自己被用来当做复制实验品的古怪感受了。在李凡的审视之下，连忙道出了在刚刚那场的拓印中，自己察觉到的跟复制体有哪些不同的方面。以此证明自己的价值所在。
He imitated the power of Black Slashing Immortal Soul using the principle of true and false transformation, blocking off the star paths around the Primordial Era temporarily.
“ yuán lái rú cǐ 。 zuò de bù cuò 。” lǐ fán diǎn tóu ， bù lìn zàn shǎng 。
“原来如此。做的不错。”李凡点头，不吝赞赏。
Of course, this was only against the fallen immortals, not ordinary beings.
xī qǔ le cǐ qián de jīng yàn jiào xùn ， hěn kuài lǐ fán yòu zhǎn kāi le dì èr cì de shí yàn 。
吸取了此前的经验教训，很快李凡又展开了第二次的实验。
The expanding Fallen Realm immediately felt the changes in its surroundings. Unlike living beings, it did not show any emotions but reacted mechanically.
suǒ zào zhī wù bǐ qǐ shǒu cì dí què hǎo le xiē 。 dàn jù lí zhēn zhèng de tiān xuán jìng ， yī rán hái yǒu bù shǎo de chā jù 。
所造之物比起首次的确好了些。但距离真正的天玄镜，依然还有不少的差距。
Under Eternally Sovereign's watchful eyes, the fallen immortal cloud seemed to abandon its territorial expansion and silently settled above the Primordial Era, growing stronger.
“ kàn lái zhè zhé zhǐ tà yìn zhī shù ， dí què shì mén mò cè shén tōng 。 bìng fēi shì wǒ duǎn shí jiān píng jiè qí suǒ liú hén jì ， jiù néng zhǎng wò de 。 xū yào fǎn fù yán xí 。”
“看来这折纸拓印之术，的确是门莫测神通。并非是我短时间凭借其所留痕迹，就能掌握的。需要反复研习。”
The number of time-spaces within the Primordial Fallen Realm increased visibly.
duì cǐ lǐ fán zǎo yǒu yù liào ， yě bù zài yì 。
对此李凡早有预料，也不在意。
Where did these time-spaces come from? They were not the Yellow and Black World cultivators currently active in the Primordial Era. Even those suppressed by Eternally Sovereign!
fǎn zhèng èr fēn xiān zhǒng 、 tiān xuán jìng jù zài shǒu ， tā yǒu de shì shí jiān màn màn liàn xí 。
反正二分仙种、天玄镜俱在手，他有的是时间慢慢练习。
Even the two Immortal Servants guarding the Primordial Afterlife Array were reflected there too!
wéi yī xū yào de zài yì de shì ， èr fēn xiān zhǒng zhōng suǒ níng jù de 【 zhé zhǐ 】 lì liàng ， shì huì bèi bù duàn xiāo hào de 。 yòng yī cì ， shǎo yī cì 。
唯一需要的在意的是，二分仙种中所凝聚的【折纸】力量，是会被不断消耗的。用一次，少一次。
This was the first proactive "reflection" of the Fallen Realm. The reflected beings were unaware, but Eternally Sovereign felt a chill.
rú guǒ shì dān chún de xiān líng zhī lì ， lǐ fán zì rán néng hěn fāng biàn de duì qí jìn xíng bǔ chōng 。 dàn zhè 【 zhé zhǐ 】 dà dào ， zhǐ néng tōng guò tā 【 jiǎ yì zhēn 】 de shén tōng ， píng kōng shēng zào 。
如果是单纯的仙灵之力，李凡自然能很方便的对其进行补充。但这【折纸】大道，只能通过他【假亦真】的神通，凭空生造。
After some contemplation, he sent out a fragment of his intent to the newly formed Primordial Fallen Realm.
xiào lǜ suī rán màn le xiē ， yóu qí shì xiàn zài hái zhēn chén shuì 、 zhǐ néng kào zì jǐ gǎn wù de qíng kuàng xià 。
效率虽然慢了些，尤其是现在还真沉睡、只能靠自己感悟的情况下。
His goal was to check if the Immortal Arrays and Servants here had any connection with the Infinite Sea or infinite properties.
“ dàn zǒng guī néng gòu bǔ jǐ ， bù zhì yú zuò chī shān kōng 。 tóng shí hái néng shùn biàn zēng jiā duì zhēn jiǎ zhī biàn de lǐng wù 。” lǐ fán duì cǐ dǎo shì kàn de hěn kāi ， bù jí bù xú 。
“但总归能够补给，不至于坐吃山空。同时还能顺便增加对真假之变的领悟。”李凡对此倒是看的很开，不疾不徐。
Could the "Netherworld's Eternal Cycle" function similarly, creating time-spaces like the Fallen Realm?
zhǐ shì bù shí zài yán jiū 、 shì yàn guò chéng zhōng ， nǎo zhōng yī shǎn ér guò māo bǎo de yǐng zi 。
只是不时在研究、试验过程中，脑中一闪而过猫宝的影子。
However, the Netherworld's Eternal Cycle was completely closed. It did not connect to the mountains and seas.
“ bù zhī dào ， māo bǎo nà fù zhì de néng lì ， gēn zhè zhé zhǐ dà dào ， shì bú shì yī huí shì 。”
“不知道，猫宝那复制的能力，跟这折纸大道，是不是一回事。”
This place...
“ guǒ rán ， zhè shì shàng bìng bù cún zài háo wú dào lǐ 、 wéi fǎn luó jí zhī shì 。 nà xiē kàn shì bù kě sī yì de shì qíng ， zhǐ shì yīn wèi jiàn shí bù duō 、 rèn zhī bù shēn 。”
“果然，这世上并不存在毫无道理、违反逻辑之事。那些看似不可思议的事情，只是因为见识不多、认知不深。”
Eternally Sovereign felt a sense of dread as he sensed the pressure from the Infinite Sea.
“ māo bǎo sān chóng biàn 。 wù pǐn fù zhì 、 shēng líng nǐ huà 、 yì jīng fá suǐ 。 qí tā liǎng zhǒng néng lì ……”
“猫宝三重变。物品复制、生灵拟化、易经伐髓。其他两种能力……”
"Has it really connected with the mountains and seas?"
lǐ fán zhòu méi sī suǒ 。
李凡皱眉思索。
Surprised, Eternally Sovereign also felt puzzled.
tā xīn zhōng hū de méng shēng chū yí gè xiǎng fǎ 。 ruò shì tā jǐn zhǎng qí dào tú ， nà me tóng yàng yě néng jiāng 【 māo bǎo 】 fù kè chū lái 。
他心中忽的萌生出一个想法。若是他尽掌其道途，那么同样也能将【猫宝】复刻出来。
Connecting with the mountains and seas meant having all the necessary conditions to create immortals. Thus, those seemingly illusory time-spaces in the Fallen Realm could possibly produce True Immortals.
lǐ fán běn zūn zhuān xīn wù dào de tóng shí ， dà tiān zūn xiān guī yě méi yǒu xián zhe 。
李凡本尊专心悟道的同时，大天尊仙傀也没有闲着。
Theoretically, it was true.
xiàn zài xià yī rèn xuán huáng tiān zūn de hé shì jì rèn zhě hái méi yǒu dàn shēng ， lǐ fán yě yào jiān fù qǐ wéi hù xuán huáng zhì xù de zé rèn 。
现在下一任玄黄天尊的合适继任者还没有诞生，李凡也要肩负起维护玄黄秩序的责任。
But Eternally Sovereign still had a vague feeling that there were subtle differences between the Primordial Arrays and Servants here compared to reality.
què bìng fēi shì shén me xiān jiè zhì gù ， ér shì wèi le tā zì jǐ 。
却并非是什么仙界桎梏，而是为了他自己。
And these differences mattered greatly.
tā shǒu xiān zuò de ， biàn shì duì xuán huáng jiè jìn xíng cóng nèi dào wài de gǎi zào 。 yǐ xiàn zài de mù guāng lái kàn ， xuán huáng jiè hái shì yǒu xiē guò yú cuì ruò le 。
他首先做的，便是对玄黄界进行从内到外的改造。以现在的目光来看，玄黄界还是有些过于脆弱了。
"Only without the mountain's might?"
bù shuō dào yān zhī jié le ， jiù suàn shì xiān xū zhōng de jī xiān wēi wēi fān shēn ， dōu yǒu kě néng shǐ de xuán huáng jiè xiàn rù wàn jié bù fù zhī jìng 。
不说道湮之劫了，就算是仙墟中的饥仙微微翻身，都有可能使得玄黄界陷入万劫不复之境。
After staring at the illusory Primordial Era for some time, Eternally Sovereign finally understood.
hǎo zài lǐ fán yǒu zhe chōng zú de gǎi zào jīng yàn 。
好在李凡有着充足的改造经验。
To verify his guess, he flashed over to where the two Immortal Servants were located and deliberately displayed his True Immortal presence.
ér qiě zhè cì ， tā de gǎi zào jì huà bǐ qǐ guò wǎng hái yào gèng jìn yí bù 。 mù biāo nǎi shì jiāng xuán huáng jiè dǎ zào chéng ， jí biàn yuán chū bèi dào yān tūn mò 、 xuán huáng yě néng piāo liú yī shí ， xún zhǎo xīn shēng jī zhī chù de bù xiǔ xiān zhōu ！
而且这次，他的改造计划比起过往还要更进一步。目标乃是将玄黄界打造成，即便原初被道湮吞没、玄黄也能漂流一时，寻找新生机之处的不朽仙舟！
In reality, when a servant faces a true immortal, it must perform the ritual of reverence. This was an iron law embedded in every servant's core. But here, these servants ignored Eternally Sovereign's aura completely.
chú le shēng huá xiān yù 、 dà dào tiān zhù děng zēng qiáng fāng shì zhī wài ， lǐ fán zhè cì hái dǎ shàng le zhěng hé yǔn xiān jìng de zhǔ yì 。
除了升华仙域、大道天柱等增强方式之外，李凡这次还打上了整合陨仙境的主意。
They even attacked this intruder simultaneously.
zhè ge shí jiān jié diǎn de yǔn xiān jìng ， hái shì wèi duì xuán huáng shēng líng kāi fàng de fēng bì zhī suǒ 。
这个时间节点的陨仙境，还是未对玄黄生灵开放的封闭之所。
"Indeed." Eternally Sovereign deflected their attacks calmly and understood.
wéi yǒu jīng dé xuán huáng dà tiān zūn de yǔn xǔ ， shēng líng yì shí fāng néng rù nèi 。
唯有经得玄黄大天尊的允许，生灵意识方能入内。
"Just with infinite power but without the mountain's might."
lǐ fán hóng guān duì cǐ shí de yǔn xiān jìng jìn xíng le yī fān guān chá ， fā xiàn bǐ qǐ wàn nián zhī hòu ， xiàn zài de yǔn xiān jìng guī mó yào xiǎo tài duō 。
李凡宏观对此时的陨仙境进行了一番观察，发现比起万年之后，现在的陨仙境规模要小太多。
"One cannot know how high the sky is until one climbs a high mountain. Without being on the mountain, one does not know what an immortal truly is."
jī hū zhǐ shì zhèng cháng xuán huáng jiè de tóu yǐng ， jīng guò ruò gān nián de yǎn huà ér shēng chéng de xiē xǔ bù tóng shì jiè 。
几乎只是正常玄黄界的投影，经过若干年的衍化而生成的些许不同世界。
With only the infinite attribute, but lacking the support of "might," its effectiveness was greatly reduced.
sì hū réng rán chù zài yòu nián shēng zhǎng qī 。 yǒu xǔ duō hòu shì cún zài de shí kōng xiàn zài hái méi yǒu dàn shēng 。
似乎仍然处在幼年生长期。有许多后世存在的时空现在还没有诞生。
Compared to real-world servants, it was barely ten percent as powerful.
lǐ fán què zhù yì dào le mǒu xiē yǒu qù de shì qíng 。
李凡却注意到了某些有趣的事情。
This discovery relieved Eternally Sovereign immensely.
yǔn xiān jìng zuì jìn sì hū shí fēn míng xiǎn de xīn shēng le yī dà piàn shí kōng 。 àn zhào qí suǒ dàn shēng de shí jiān diǎn lái kàn ， sì hū zhèng shì xuán huáng jiè gēn tài yuán jiè cǎn liè dà zhàn zhī shí 。
陨仙境最近似乎十分明显的新生了一大片时空。按照其所诞生的时间点来看，似乎正是玄黄界跟太元界惨烈大战之时。
After suppressing these two name-in-spirit servants and destroying this fallen time-space casually, he quietly exited the Primordial Fallen Realm.
“ mò fēi ……”
“莫非……”
For the Fallen Realm itself, the existence or destruction of individual time-spaces had little impact. In a blink, the time-space destroyed by Eternally Sovereign was reborn again.
lǐ fán xīn zhōng yī dòng ， shén niàn zài zhè xiē xīn shēng shí kōng zhōng zǒu le yī zāo 。
李凡心中一动，神念在这些新生时空中走了一遭。
Eternally Sovereign silently observed: "Although the Fallen Realm is illusory, it is based on reality. As long as there are living beings in the real world, the Fallen Realm can continue to grow."
huí guī zhī hòu ， shén qíng mò míng ：“ guǒ rán 。 suí zhe tài yuán jiè gēn xuán huáng jiè chè dǐ lián tōng ， yǔn xiān jìng yě fǎng fú qīn rù jìn rù tài yuán jiè nèi 。”
回归之后，神情莫名：“果然。随着太元界跟玄黄界彻底联通，陨仙境也仿佛侵入进入太元界内。”
"Even if the real world is consumed by Void Inhaling, the Fallen Realm can still survive for a while."
nà piàn xuè xīng de liǎng jiè zhàn chǎng ， yě qiǎo rán chū xiàn zài le yǔn xiān jìng zhōng 。
那片血腥的两界战场，也悄然出现在了陨仙境中。
Thinking about this, Eternally Sovereign was momentarily unsure which existed at a higher level: reality or the fallen realm.
wéi yī ràng lǐ fán fàng xià xīn lái de shì ， zhè piàn xīn shēng shí kōng zhōng ， bìng méi yǒu tā zhè wèi 【 xuán huáng zhēn xiān 】 de cún zài 。
唯一让李凡放下心来的是，这片新生时空中，并没有他这位【玄黄真仙】的存在。
"Since the Fallen Realm can connect with the Infinite Sea, it should be able to connect with the mountain too. But it doesn't..."
“ fǒu zé wǒ xiàn zài gāi kǎo lǜ de bú shì zěn me gǎi zào xuán huáng ， ér shì yào luò huāng ér táo le 。”
“否则我现在该考虑的不是怎么改造玄黄，而是要落荒而逃了。”
"So is it intentionally done?"
sī suǒ jiān ， dà tiān zūn xiān guī yòu pǎo le yī tàng tài yuán jiè 。
思索间，大天尊仙傀又跑了一趟太元界。
In the parable of mountains and seas, the disasters in the world originated from the connection between sea and mountain. The Fallen Realm abandoning the mountain for the sea might indeed be a way to avoid disaster.
guǒ rán zài cǐ jiè shàng kōng ， zhǎo dào le nà piàn jí nán chá jué de huàn mèng yīn yún 。
果然在此界上空，找到了那片极难察觉的幻梦阴云。
"Does this mean that there's still a return to the mountain?"
“ bù jǐn jǐn zhǐ shì dāng chū yī yǎn yìng shì 。 hái néng suí zhe shí jiān de liú shì ， zì wǒ shēng zhǎng 。”
“不仅仅只是当初一眼映世。还能随着时间的流逝，自我生长。”
Eternally Sovereign naturally thought so.
“ yuán lái de shí kōng lǐ ， xuán huáng jiè yì zhí zài xiān xū biān kǔ kǔ zhēng zhá qiú shēng ， bìng méi yǒu chéng zhǎng de tiáo jiàn 。 xiàn zài zé bù rán 。”
“原来的时空里，玄黄界一直在仙墟边苦苦挣扎求生，并没有成长的条件。现在则不然。”
"Having only the might of an immortal but lacking infinite attributes, it's hard to say which is better."
“ tài yuán jiè ， nǎi zhì ……”
“太元界，乃至……”
"But perhaps it's what immortals originally looked like."
lǐ fán de mù guāng ， kàn xiàng tài yuán jiè zhōu zāo 。
李凡的目光，看向太元界周遭。
The sealed Primordial Fallen Realm showed no signs of further growth or conflict with Eternally Sovereign's restrictions. It silently settled above both the Primordial and Yellow and Black Worlds, constantly evolving.
xiān dào shí zōng ， zhèng mǎn hán rè qíng de tàn suǒ zhe fù jìn de wèi zhī xīng kōng 。
仙道十宗，正满含热情的探索着附近的未知星空。
For the Fallen Realm, the size of space in reality was not a limiting factor for its growth as long as there were living beings within its coverage. It could continue to reproduce itself.
lǐ fán yě chá jué dào le yuǎn fāng xīng hǎi shēng jī suǒ zài 。
李凡也察觉到了远方星海生机所在。
Previously, it expanded outward due to instinctive mechanisms for self-strengthening. Now, constrained by Eternally Sovereign's restrictions, it instinctively contracted back and continued reproducing on its original territory.
tóng shí yě fǎng fú kàn dào le ， rú guǐ mèi bān 、 wěi suí shí zōng jiǎo bù de yǔn xiān yīn yún 。
同时也仿佛看到了，如鬼魅般、尾随十宗脚步的陨仙阴云。
Looking at this peculiar creation, Eternally Sovereign was momentarily indecisive.
“ kàn lái ， yǒu bì yào duì qí jìn xíng xiē xiàn zhì 。”
“看来，有必要对其进行些限制。”
The Fallen Realm as a whole did not seem to have the subjective consciousness of the Yellow and Black World's Heavenly Dao. It merely acted based on "mechanical" instincts.
míng míng zhōng de yù gǎn gào sù lǐ fán ， jiù zhè me yǎn zhēng zhēng kàn zhe qí zī zhǎng 、 jué fēi míng zhì zhī jǔ 。
冥冥中的预感告诉李凡，就这么眼睁睁看着其滋长、绝非明智之举。
But it was left behind by some powerful figure in the Immortal Realm.
“ suī xū ， shí shí 。 bìng bù xū yào xiàn shí zhī gēn jī 。 yě néng rú sōu mù zhōu ， piāo fú yú dào yān zhī shàng 。”
“虽虚，实实。并不需要现实之根基。也能如艘木舟，漂浮于道湮之上。”
It might still serve as a rebirth bed for that being.
chū dài duì yǔn xiān jìng de píng jià hái lì lì zài mù ， lǐ fán yě bù gǎn dà yì 。
初代对陨仙境的评价还历历在目，李凡也不敢大意。
Especially considering its ability to float above Void Inhaling, Eternally Sovereign recalled the immortal coffins he had seen before.
yǐ zhēn jiǎ zhī biàn ， mó fǎng chū mò shā xiān pò zhī lì 。 wǎn ruò tiě suǒ héng jiāng ， jiāng tài yuán jiè zhōu zāo xīng lù zàn shí fēng suǒ qǐ lái 。
以真假之变，模仿出墨杀仙魄之力。宛若铁索横江，将太元界周遭星路暂时封锁起来。
However, compared to simple immortals who relied on Dao principles to resist Void Inhaling, the Fallen Realm was much more advanced.
dāng rán ， zhè fēng suǒ zhǐ shì zhēn duì yǔn xiān yīn yún 。 ér fēi fán sú 。
当然，这封锁只是针对陨仙阴云。而非凡俗。
Eternally Sovereign cursed inwardly.
zhèng zài kuò zhāng de yǔn xiān jìng ， zì shì dì yī shí jiān jiù gǎn shòu dào le zì shēn zhōu wéi yì biàn 。
正在扩张的陨仙境，自是第一时间就感受到了自身周围异变。
Choosing the Yellow and Black World as a base point indeed had its pros and cons.
bìng méi yǒu shì shēng líng nà bān ， biǎo xiàn chū rèn hé de qíng xù 。
并没有似生灵那般，表现出任何的情绪。
While it allowed him to establish his foundation quickly based on his understanding of the Yellow and Black World's history, there were countless hidden dangers within. Even at his current strength, he needed to be cautious.
ér shì jī xiè de 、 lì kè zuò chū xiāng yìng de biàn huà 。
而是机械的、立刻做出相应的变化。
Otherwise, he might make a grave mistake due to carelessness.
zài lǐ fán de zhù shì xià ， yǔn xiān yīn yún sì hū fàng qì le kāi jiāng tuò tǔ de xíng wéi 。 zhǐ shì mò mò pán jù zài tài yuán jiè shàng kōng ， zhuàng dà zì shēn 。
在李凡的注视下，陨仙阴云似乎放弃了开疆拓土的行为。只是默默盘踞在太元界上空，壮大自身。
"Regardless, others cannot sleep in my bed." A cold glint appeared in Eternally Sovereign's eyes.
jī hū shì yǐ ròu yǎn kě jiàn de ， tài yuán yǔn xiān jìng nèi biàn huàn shí kōng shù liàng ， biàn duō le qǐ lái 。
几乎是以肉眼可见的，太元陨仙境内变幻时空数量，变多了起来。
In the past, he had True Immortal protection and could restart anytime. He avoided it then.
yǔn xiān jìng de lái yuán ， bìng fēi shì cǐ kè zài tài yuán jiè nèi huó dòng de xuán huáng xiū shì 。 shèn zhì hái yǒu nà xiē bèi lǐ fán fēng suǒ zhèn yā de tài yuán jiè shēng líng me ！
陨仙境的来源，并非是此刻在太元界内活动的玄黄修士。甚至还有那些被李凡封锁镇压的太元界生灵么！
But now, there was no retreat for him.
nǎi zhì fù zé kān guǎn tài yuán wǎng shēng dà zhèn de ， nà liǎng zūn xiān pū 。 dōu bèi tài yuán yǔn xiān jìng yìng zhào zài nèi ！
乃至负责看管太元往生大阵的，那两尊仙仆。都被太元陨仙境映照在内！
The Fallen Realm might be strange, but if Eternally Sovereign wanted to hand over his base point...
zhè shì yǔn xiān jìng dì yī cì zhǔ dòng de “ yìng zhào ”。 bèi yìng zhào shēng líng ， wú suǒ chá jué 。 ér páng guān zhě lǐ fán ， què shì bù yóu xīn shēng bīng lěng zhī yì 。
这是陨仙境第一次主动的“映照”。被映照生灵，无所察觉。而旁观者李凡，却是不由心生冰冷之意。
He would have to fight first!
Eternal Sovereign observed the current state of the Fallen Realm, finding that it was much smaller than a thousand years ago. It seemed to be just a projection of the normal Yellow and Black World, with some minor differences after several years of evolution. It appeared still in its early stages of development, with many future existences not yet born.
However, he noticed something interesting: a large amount of new time-space had recently emerged within the Fallen Realm. According to their birth times, they seemed to coincide with the intense battle between the Yellow and Black World and the Primordial Era.
"Could it be..."
Eternal Sovereign's mind raced as his divine sense wandered through these newly born time-spaces.
Returning from his inspection, he looked unusually: "Indeed. With the full connection between the Yellow and Black World and the Primordial Era, the Fallen Realm seems to have invaded the Primordial Era."
That bloody battlefield of the two worlds quietly appeared within the Fallen Realm.
The only thing that reassured Eternally Sovereign was that there was no trace of his True Immortal self in this newly born time-space.
"Otherwise, I would be worrying about how to transform the Yellow and Black World instead of escaping."
While pondering, Eternal Sovereign made another trip to the Primordial Era. Sure enough, he found that elusive dream cloud above it.
"Not only does it reflect the world at a glance, but it also grows with time."
"In the original existence, the Yellow and Black World struggled to survive on the edge of the Immortal Vortex without any growth conditions. Now, things are different."
"The Primordial Era... and beyond..."
Eternal Sovereign's gaze turned towards the surroundings of the Primordial Era.
The Ten Sects of Daoism were enthusiastically exploring the unknown starry skies nearby.
Eternal Sovereign also sensed the vitality in the distant starry seas.
He seemed to see the ghostly shadow of the fallen immortals following behind the ten sects.
"It seems necessary to impose some restrictions."
His inner sense told him that watching it grow was not a wise choice.
"Even if it's just a reflection, it still has real power. It can float on the Void Inhaling like a wooden boat."
The initial evaluation of the Fallen Realm by the first generation still lingered in his mind, so he did not take any chances.
He imitated the power of Black Slashing Immortal Soul using the principle of true and false transformation, blocking off the star paths around the Primordial Era temporarily.
Of course, this was only against the fallen immortals, not ordinary beings.
The expanding Fallen Realm immediately felt the changes in its surroundings. Unlike living beings, it did not show any emotions but reacted mechanically.
Under Eternally Sovereign's watchful eyes, the fallen immortal cloud seemed to abandon its territorial expansion and silently settled above the Primordial Era, growing stronger.
The number of time-spaces within the Primordial Fallen Realm increased visibly.
Where did these time-spaces come from? They were not the Yellow and Black World cultivators currently active in the Primordial Era. Even those suppressed by Eternally Sovereign!
Even the two Immortal Servants guarding the Primordial Afterlife Array were reflected there too!
This was the first proactive "reflection" of the Fallen Realm. The reflected beings were unaware, but Eternally Sovereign felt a chill.
After some contemplation, he sent out a fragment of his intent to the newly formed Primordial Fallen Realm.
His goal was to check if the Immortal Arrays and Servants here had any connection with the Infinite Sea or infinite properties.
Could the "Netherworld's Eternal Cycle" function similarly, creating time-spaces like the Fallen Realm?
However, the Netherworld's Eternal Cycle was completely closed. It did not connect to the mountains and seas.
This place...
Eternally Sovereign felt a sense of dread as he sensed the pressure from the Infinite Sea.
"Has it really connected with the mountains and seas?"
Surprised, Eternally Sovereign also felt puzzled.
Connecting with the mountains and seas meant having all the necessary conditions to create immortals. Thus, those seemingly illusory time-spaces in the Fallen Realm could possibly produce True Immortals.
"This..."
Theoretically, it was true.
But Eternally Sovereign still had a vague feeling that there were subtle differences between the Primordial Arrays and Servants here compared to reality.
And these differences mattered greatly.
"Only without the mountain's might?"
After staring at the illusory Primordial Era for some time, Eternally Sovereign finally understood.
To verify his guess, he flashed over to where the two Immortal Servants were located and deliberately displayed his True Immortal presence.
In reality, when a servant faces a true immortal, it must perform the ritual of reverence. This was an iron law embedded in every servant's core. But here, these servants ignored Eternally Sovereign's aura completely.
They even attacked this intruder simultaneously.
"Indeed." Eternally Sovereign deflected their attacks calmly and understood.
"Just with infinite power but without the mountain's might."
"One cannot know how high the sky is until one climbs a high mountain. Without being on the mountain, one does not know what an immortal truly is."
With only the infinite attribute, but lacking the support of "might," its effectiveness was greatly reduced.
Compared to real-world servants, it was barely ten percent as powerful.
This discovery relieved Eternally Sovereign immensely.
After suppressing these two name-in-spirit servants and destroying this fallen time-space casually, he quietly exited the Primordial Fallen Realm.
For the Fallen Realm itself, the existence or destruction of individual time-spaces had little impact. In a blink, the time-space destroyed by Eternally Sovereign was reborn again.
Eternally Sovereign silently observed: "Although the Fallen Realm is illusory, it is based on reality. As long as there are living beings in the real world, the Fallen Realm can continue to grow."
"Even if the real world is consumed by Void Inhaling, the Fallen Realm can still survive for a while."
Thinking about this, Eternally Sovereign was momentarily unsure which existed at a higher level: reality or the fallen realm.
"Since the Fallen Realm can connect with the Infinite Sea, it should be able to connect with the mountain too. But it doesn't..."
"So is it intentionally done?"
In the parable of mountains and seas, the disasters in the world originated from the connection between sea and mountain. The Fallen Realm abandoning the mountain for the sea might indeed be a way to avoid disaster.
"Does this mean that there's still a return to the mountain?"
Eternally Sovereign naturally thought so.
"Having only the might of an immortal but lacking infinite attributes, it's hard to say which is better."
"But perhaps it's what immortals originally looked like."
The sealed Primordial Fallen Realm showed no signs of further growth or conflict with Eternally Sovereign's restrictions. It silently settled above both the Primordial and Yellow and Black Worlds, constantly evolving.
For the Fallen Realm, the size of space in reality was not a limiting factor for its growth as long as there were living beings within its coverage. It could continue to reproduce itself.
Previously, it expanded outward due to instinctive mechanisms for self-strengthening. Now, constrained by Eternally Sovereign's restrictions, it instinctively contracted back and continued reproducing on its original territory.
Looking at this peculiar creation, Eternally Sovereign was momentarily indecisive.
The Fallen Realm as a whole did not seem to have the subjective consciousness of the Yellow and Black World's Heavenly Dao. It merely acted based on "mechanical" instincts.
But it was left behind by some powerful figure in the Immortal Realm.
It might still serve as a rebirth bed for that being.
Especially considering its ability to float above Void Inhaling, Eternally Sovereign recalled the immortal coffins he had seen before.
However, compared to simple immortals who relied on Dao principles to resist Void Inhaling, the Fallen Realm was much more advanced.
Eternally Sovereign cursed inwardly.
Choosing the Yellow and Black World as a base point indeed had its pros and cons.
While it allowed him to establish his foundation quickly based on his understanding of the Yellow and Black World's history, there were countless hidden dangers within. Even at his current strength, he needed to be cautious.
Otherwise, he might make a grave mistake due to carelessness.
"Regardless, others cannot sleep in my bed." A cold glint appeared in Eternally Sovereign's eyes.
In the past, he had True Immortal protection and could restart anytime. He avoided it then.
But now, there was no retreat for him.
The Fallen Realm might be strange, but if Eternally Sovereign wanted to hand over his base point...
He would have to fight first!
