suí zhe shàng yī rèn jī xiān ， yì huò zhě shuō ， lái zì qí tā kě néng xìng de 【 shì dào zhě 】 de jì yì zhōng huà miàn ， yí mù mù zài lǐ fán nǎo hǎi zhōng shǎn guò 。
随着上一任饥仙，亦或者说，来自其他可能性的【噬道者】的记忆中画面，一幕幕在李凡脑海中闪过。
As the First Immortal Puppet temporarily reached its limit after swallowing the entire domain, Li Fan noticed that the image of Mount Above-the-Heavens became clearer. However, the overwhelming pressure from the continuous mountain shadows also descended upon it.
tā de hái gǔ yě huà zuò dào dào liú guāng ， biàn chéng lìng wài yī gēn tiān zhù 。
他的骸骨也化作道道流光，变成另外一根天柱。
"Was the situation where I almost got swallowed by a series of mountains similar to my previous threefold merging experience?"
suī rán tóng yàng zhǐ yǒu bàn bì jiāng shān ， rán ér gēn lǐ fán xiān qián suǒ de xiāng bǐ ， wú yí gèng dài biǎo zhe yuán chū 【 jī 】 zhī dà dào de níng jù 。
虽然同样只有半壁江山，然而跟李凡先前所得相比，无疑更代表着原初【饥】之大道的凝聚。
Li Fan sat in place and began to reflect on this. After some time, he finally confirmed his thoughts: "During the threefold merging, I dissipated into an unknown force."
lǐ fán bìng méi yǒu jiāng zhè gēn tiān zhù cóng xiān xū dà dì shàng bá lí 。 fǎn ér jiāng fēng yìn zhe jī xiān de nà bàn gēn ， mái cáng zài qí fù jìn 。
李凡并没有将这根天柱从仙墟大地上拔离。反而将封印着饥仙的那半根，埋藏在其附近。
"But what happened just now was merely being submerged by Mount Above-the-Heavens..."
kě yǐ chá jué dào ， yīn wèi tóng wù 【 jī 】 zhī dà dào de yuán gù ， zòng shǐ liǎng gēn tiān zhù de hé xīn bìng fēi shì tóng yī rén 。 dàn réng yǒu zhe xiāng hù róng hé de qū shì 。
可以察觉到，因为同悟【饥】之大道的缘故，纵使两根天柱的核心并非是同一人。但仍有着相互融合的趋势。
Thinking of the陨仙境 (Doomed Heaven Realm), where there was only infinite sea and no Mount Above-the-Heavens, Li Fan wondered: "If I were to push the mountain devouring technique to its extreme without considering the consequences, could it create a different realm based on Mount Above-the-Heavens?"
“ shēng qián bù néng zhèng dào wú míng ， sǐ hòu què hái yǒu jī huì 。 yě suàn shì bāng nǐ dé cháng suǒ yuàn le 。” lǐ fán xīn zhōng àn zì diǎn tóu 。
“生前不能证道无名，死后却还有机会。也算是帮你得偿所愿了。”李凡心中暗自点头。
Drawing on his experience of merging with the threefold force, he rapidly deduced this. If he could maintain his consciousness even as Mount Above-the-Heavens swallowed him, he might be able to see this opposite Doomed Heaven Realm.
zàn qiě ān dùn hǎo liǎng gēn tiān zhù ， lǐ fán zhè cái huí wèi qǐ gāng gāng suǒ jiàn 。 shàng yī rèn jī xiān de jì yì suī duǎn ， què yǒu sān chù lǐ fán shí fēn zài yì de dì fāng 。
暂且安顿好两根天柱，李凡这才回味起刚刚所见。上一任饥仙的记忆虽短，却有三处李凡十分在意的地方。
All the realms that had been devoured by Li Fan—such as the domain and the chessboard domain—reappeared intact. However, they did not appear in their current form but rather how they originally looked on Mount Above-the-Heavens.
qí yī ， nǎi shì 【 shì dào 】 zhī dào 。 àn cáng zài 【 jī 】 zhī dà dào zhōng ， nà tūn shān yǐn hǎi de bà qì yù niàn ， bìng fēi shì lǐ fán cuò jué 。 ér zhèng shì zhè 【 shì dào 】 de tǐ xiàn 。 néng gòu jiāng yī zhěng gè kě néng xìng dà dào quán dōu tūn shì dài jìn ， huà zuò zì shēn zī liáng 。 jué duì shì jí qí kǒng bù de cún zài 。
其一，乃是【噬道】之道。暗藏在【饥】之大道中，那吞山饮海的霸气欲念，并非是李凡错觉。而正是这【噬道】的体现。能够将一整个可能性大道全都吞噬殆尽，化作自身资粮。绝对是极其恐怖的存在。
They scattered like stars among endless mountains, resembling a cluster of stars in darkness.
“ bù guò tā què bù zì liàng lì ， xuǎn cuò le duì shǒu 。 tūn shì dān yī kě néng xìng shàng yǒu yú lì 。 miàn duì shān hǎi de huà ……” lǐ fán lěng xiào yī shēng 。
“不过他却不自量力，选错了对手。吞噬单一可能性尚有余力。面对山海的话……”李凡冷笑一声。
"远离山海交融之所，故而从某种意义上讲，同样能够躲避道湮之劫。不过代价么……"
méi yǒu qīn yǎn jiàn guò wú xiàn hǎi gēn shàng fāng shān ， shì gēn běn wú fǎ xiǎng xiàng tā men de huī hóng hào dà de 。 nǎ pà shì bāo hán suǒ yǒu kě néng xìng de chén shì ， yě bù guò shì shān hǎi yì yú bà le 。
没有亲眼见过无限海跟上方山，是根本无法想象祂们的恢弘浩大的。哪怕是包含所有可能性的尘世，也不过是山海一隅罢了。
Li Fan seemed to be a ghost as he surveyed his surroundings. The silence within Mount Above-the-Heavens was profound; there were no sounds of life, only towering peaks.
shàng yī rèn jī xiān wèi tā de kuáng wàng fù chū le dài jià 。 zài dào yān zhī zhōng piāo bó xǔ jiǔ ， cái láng bèi lái dào 【 yuán chū 】， jiǎo xìng qiú shēng 。 kě shì yuán chū sān shèng jù zài ， tā yě bù gǎn fàng sì 。 zhǐ dé gǎi tóu huàn miàn ， yǐ 【 jī 】 dài 【 shì dào 】。
上一任饥仙为他的狂妄付出了代价。在道湮之中漂泊许久，才狼狈来到【原初】，侥幸求生。可是原初三圣俱在，他也不敢放肆。只得改头换面，以【饥】代【噬道】。
"Absolute order and hierarchy."
suī rán liǎng zhǒng dào tú ， què yǒu xiāng sì zhī chù 。 dàn hěn xiǎn rán lùn wēi néng bù kě tóng rì ér yǔ 。 tā zuì hòu de xià chǎng ， jiù shì qīng yì bèi rén huà zuò le chēng tiān zhī zhù 。
虽然两种道途，却有相似之处。但很显然论威能不可同日而语。他最后的下场，就是轻易被人化作了撑天之柱。
"Life has no meaning here."
lǐ fán zài yì de dì èr diǎn ， jiù shì nà néng zhī chēng jī xiān zài dào yān zhōng piāo bó xǔ jiǔ de 【 dù nán xiān guān 】。 jī xiān suǒ liú xià de jì yì bìng bù duō ， rán ér què jǐ cì sān fān dōu tí dào le zhè xiān guān 。
李凡在意的第二点，就是那能支撑饥仙在道湮中漂泊许久的【度难仙棺】。饥仙所留下的记忆并不多，然而却几次三番都提到了这仙棺。
Suddenly, Li Fan understood why all the creatures in Sun Pi-miao's Mountain and Sea Allegory were born from the sea. Because Mount Above-the-Heavens itself contradicted life.
hěn xiǎn rán ， jī xiān duì dù nán xiān guān de yí shī jí wéi jiè huái 。 ér néng ràng jī xiān zhè huǐ miè tūn shì dān yī kě néng xìng de hěn rén dōu zhè me zài yì de bǎo wù ， dù nán xiān guān xiǎng lái yě bì yǒu qí xuán miào zhī chù 。
很显然，饥仙对度难仙棺的遗失极为介怀。而能让饥仙这毁灭吞噬单一可能性的狠人都这么在意的宝物，度难仙棺想来也必有其玄妙之处。
"Even if true immortals could borrow the strength of mountains, it doesn't mean they would merge with them. They just stood on top of them. Even the Three Sages of the Immortal World are like this."
“ jiù shì bù zhī ， zhè dù nán xiān guān jiū jìng shì bèi shuí dào zǒu le 。 xiān jiè jì huǐ ， ruò shì réng hái liú cún ， yīng gāi jiù zài xià jiè xīng hǎi zhōng yī chù le 。”
“就是不知，这度难仙棺究竟是被谁盗走了。仙界既毁，若是仍还留存，应该就在下界星海中一处了。”
"And what is the fate of those who merge into the mountains?"
suī céng qīn yǎn jiàn zhèng guò 【 yuán chū 】 de huǐ miè 。 dàn lǐ fán yě hái méi yǒu tàn suǒ guò yuán chū suǒ yǒu de xìng cún jiāng yù 。 tā de zú jì ， zhì jīn yě zhǐ jú xiàn zài gāo qiáng 、 shuò xīng 、 guāng wú děng sān chù 。
虽曾亲眼见证过【原初】的毁灭。但李凡也还没有探索过原初所有的幸存疆域。他的足迹，至今也只局限在高墙、朔星、光吾等三处。
The shadows of the mountain ranges surrounded him from all sides. The tiny realms he had devoured quickly disappeared in the endless sea of mountains.
jiū qí yuán yīn ， yī shì dào yān zǔ gé 、 xíng lù jiān nán 。 èr zé shì ， néng zài xiān jiè pò miè de dà bèi jǐng xià cún huó zhì jīn de shì lì ， wú yī shì yì yǔ zhī bèi 。 shàng yī shì guāng wú xīng hǎi jì chū de dào jiàn dào dāo 、 dào jì tóu yǐng zhū děng dà shā qì ， quán dōu yǒu zhe huǐ tiān miè dì de wēi néng 。 guāng wú xīng hǎi rú cǐ ， qí tā xīng hǎi yì rán 。
究其原因，一是道湮阻隔、行路艰难。二则是，能在仙界破灭的大背景下存活至今的势力，无一是易与之辈。上一世光吾星海祭出的道剑道刀、道纪投影珠等大杀器，全都有着毁天灭地的威能。光吾星海如此，其他星海亦然。
Li Fan woke up from his deduction, his forehead drenched with cold sweat. It wasn't due to fear but out of instinctual reverence for Mount Above-the-Heavens.
ér dào yān dà bèi jǐng xià ， zhù dìng le zhè xiē xīng hǎi duì yú wài lái zhě huì gé wài de pái chì 。 xiǎng yào tàn míng yuán chū suǒ yǒu xīng hǎi ， shí fēi yī jiàn yì shì 。
而道湮大背景下，注定了这些星海对于外来者会格外的排斥。想要探明原初所有星海，实非一件易事。
A large shadow covered the First Immortal Puppet's body.
dāng rán ， zuì zhǔ yào de ， hái shì yīn wèi méi yǒu zhè ge bì yào 。 lǐ fán jīn hòu zhǔ yào tàn suǒ de mù dì dì ， shì tiào chū yuán chū de shān yǔ hǎi 、 nǎi zhì nì liú ér shàng dǐ dá de yǒng jì xū jiè 。 gāo qiáng ， shuò xīng ， guāng wú 。 duì yú lǐ fán ér yán ， dōu méi yǒu shén me běn zhì dì qū bié 。
当然，最主要的，还是因为没有这个必要。李凡今后主要探索的目的地，是跳出原初的山与海、乃至逆流而上抵达的永寂虚界。高墙，朔星，光吾。对于李凡而言，都没有什么本质的区别。
"Devouring mountains and seas is not just a theory; it requires simultaneously dealing with the backlash from both."
zhì yú zuì hòu yī chù ， ràng lǐ fán shí fēn zài yì 、 shèn zhì wàn fēn jì dàn de 。 jiù shì nà wèi dào dé zhēn xiān le 。
至于最后一处，让李凡十分在意、甚至万分忌惮的。就是那位道德真仙了。
"While devouring the mountain and sea, I am also being devoured by them."
cóng jī xiān jì yì zhōng suǒ kuī tàn kě zhī ， zhè dào dé zhēn xiān bù jǐn shí lì chāo jué 、 ér qiě gēn lǐ fán yǐ wǎng jiē chù dào de zhì qiáng zhě men yě jié rán bù tóng 。
从饥仙记忆中所窥探可知，这道德真仙不仅实力超绝、而且跟李凡以往接触到的至强者们也截然不同。
Li Fan understood that he needed to help the First Immortal Puppet connect with the infinite sea to alleviate the shadow of the mountains.
shǒu qiū gōng 、 tài tiān dì 、 zǐ yī 、 sān shèng děng ， qiáng zé qiáng yǐ 。 dàn tā men huò duō huò shǎo ， dōu yǒu zhe shǔ yú “ qiáng zhě ” de fēng fàn ， xíng shì zūn xún zhe yí dìng de shǒu zé 。
守丘公、泰天帝、紫衣、三圣等，强则强矣。但他们或多或少，都有着属于“强者”的风范，行事遵循着一定的守则。
It took him nearly half a year to completely wash away the shadows on his body.
dàn zhè wèi dào dé zhēn xiān ， míng wèi dào dé ， shí zé xíng shì háo wú dào dé kě yán ！
但这位道德真仙，名为道德，实则行事毫无道德可言！
Li Fan couldn't help but sigh: "The Two Sage Kings, Return-to-True and Join-the-Sea, truly are prodigies. Even if one were missing, the ultimate outcome of perfecting the path of immortality would likely not be good."
xí guàn xìng de zhàn zài dào dé de zhì gāo diǎn ， qù zhì héng ná niē bié rén 。 tā rén sǐ huó ， yǔ jǐ wú guān 。 yī qiè néng wèi zì jǐ dài lái lì yì de ， dōu shì bì yào zhēng qǔ ； dàn fán wēi xié dào zì jǐ de ， dōu yào háo bù liú qíng de huǐ miè ……
习惯性的站在道德的制高点，去制衡拿捏别人。他人死活，与己无关。一切能为自己带来利益的，都势必要争取；但凡威胁到自己的，都要毫不留情的毁灭……
"The only result is to merge with the mountain and sea, becoming one with them."
zhè zhǒng xíng shì fēng gé ， lǐ fán shí zài tài shú xī bù guò le ！
这种行事风格，李凡实在太熟悉不过了！
"However, precisely because of their great deeds of connecting the mountains and seas, they maintained a balance between each other, creating the foothold for true immortals."
jǐn guǎn shèn zhì shàng wèi móu miàn ， dàn lǐ fán xīn zhōng yǐ jīng yǐn yǐn yǒu zhǒng yù gǎn 。 zhè wèi dào dé zhēn xiān ， wèi lái yí dìng shì zì jǐ dà dí ！
尽管甚至尚未谋面，但李凡心中已经隐隐有种预感。这位道德真仙，未来一定是自己大敌！
"But in return, those who stand on the mountain and sea must also face the tribulations of the mountains and seas themselves. The fusion of mountain and sea, the tribulation of Daoian Void..."
“ yǒu yì si 。 nà jiù kàn kàn ， shuí gèng ‘ dào dé ’ yī xiē le 。” chū dài xiān guī ， shuāng jiǎo qīng cǎi xiān xū dà dì 。
“有意思。那就看看，谁更‘道德’一些了。”初代仙傀，双脚轻踩仙墟大地。
The fundamental laws of the world were merely the principles of mountains and seas. Li Fan directly devoured the remnants of the immortal realm through the mountain devouring technique, bypassing the process of enlightenment.
shì dào zhī lì xí juǎn zhī xià ， céng jīng de xiān jiè fèi xū ， qǐng kè jiān bèi zhèn suì chéng wú shù xì xiǎo wēi lì 。 ér hòu xùn sù bèi chū dài xiān guī suǒ tūn shì 。
噬道之力席卷之下，曾经的仙界废墟，顷刻间被震碎成无数细小微粒。而后迅速被初代仙傀所吞噬。
Although his cultivation speed was fast, the side effects were beyond what ordinary people could bear.
xiān xū jīn hòu bù fù cún zài 。 zhǐ liú xià yī xīn yī jiù ， liǎng gè jī xiān tiān zhù ， zhī chēng zhe cǐ chù jiāng qīng zhī tiān 。
仙墟今后不复存在。只留下一新一旧，两个饥仙天柱，支撑着此处将倾之天。
Thanks to Zhenhuan's assistance, he had survived the tribulation of merging with the threefold force. Facing this lower-level "degradation," he maintained his stability.
jiè zhù chū dài xiān guī de shēn qū ， lǐ fán xì xì pǐn wèi zhe xiān jiè fèi xū de wèi dào 。
借助初代仙傀的身躯，李凡细细品味着仙界废墟的味道。
"Everything merges into mountains and seas, and their fusion leads to a higher realm."
zhěng gè xiān jiè ， dōu shì zài shàng fāng shān shàng kāi pì 。 yīn ér màn màn jǔ jué de tóng shí ， lǐ fán yǎn qián yě bù yóu de fú xiàn chū xiē xǔ cāng máng lián mián qún shān de jǐng xiàng 。
整个仙界，都是在上方山上开辟。因而慢慢咀嚼的同时，李凡眼前也不由的浮现出些许苍茫连绵群山的景象。
"Even eternal life and true immortality like Zhenhuan merge into this sequence..."
“ píng cǐ yuǎn tiào zhī gōng ， dí què néng míng wù yí dìng de 【 shān zhī lǐ 】。 bù guò gēn qīn zhì shān hǎi xiāng bǐ ， hái shì chà tài duō 。 jiù lián shǒu qiū gōng de zuò shān wàng hǎi zhī dào ， dōu yuǎn yuǎn yuǎn bù rú 。”
“凭此远眺之功，的确能明悟一定的【山之理】。不过跟亲至山海相比，还是差太多。就连守丘公的坐山望海之道，都远远远不如。”
Li Fan recalled the legend of the Creator God.
duì cǐ lǐ fán yě méi yǒu yì wài ， bì jìng zhǐ shì tūn shì le yī zuò xiān xū bà le 。“ wǎn ruò xiàng shān ér xíng 。 tūn de yuè duō ， jù lí shān yě jiù yuè jìn 。”
对此李凡也没有意外，毕竟只是吞噬了一座仙墟罢了。“宛若向山而行。吞的越多，距离山也就越近。”
"This legend hints at the greatest truth between mountains and seas."
xiān jiè yǐ jīng pò miè ， liú xià de fèi xū yí jì běn jiù bù duō 。 lǐ fán zì rán ér rán de ， jiāng mù guāng luò zài le sūn piāo miǎo suǒ liú de nà xiē xiān yù qí zi shàng 。
仙界已经破灭，留下的废墟遗迹本就不多。李凡自然而然的，将目光落在了孙缥缈所留的那些仙域棋子上。
"The so-called Creator God created all things in the world through the evolution of mountains and seas. Ultimately, everything will return to its starting point."
wàn nián zhī qián de shí jiān jié diǎn ， qí zi de wèi zhì gēn wàn nián hòu hái shì yǒu zhe xì wēi de chā bié 。 bù guò dōu zhǐ zài gāo qiáng zhī nèi ， zài bù zhì xiàn jǐng 、 bǔ liè jī xiān de sān nián nèi ， lǐ fán zǎo yǐ jīng jiāng qí sōu jí wán bì 。
万年之前的时间节点，棋子的位置跟万年后还是有着细微的差别。不过都只在高墙之内，在布置陷阱、捕猎饥仙的三年内，李凡早已经将其搜集完毕。
"As the dust world dissipates and mountains and seas merge, this is the trend, the destiny that creatures in the mountains and seas must face."
yǐ wéi táo tuō xiān xū 、 chóng huò xīn shēng de yào wáng zōng zhòng rén ， xìng gāo cǎi liè de gēn qián fāng xiū shì dǎ tàn qíng kuàng 。 què hài rán fā xiàn le tā men jū rán chóng xīn huí dào le xuán huáng jiè 。 hǎo zài shí zōng rú jīn zài wàn xiān méng de gōng shì xià yǐ jīng zì gù bù xiá ， zàn shí méi yǒu rén lái zhǎo tā men suàn zhàng 。
以为逃脱仙墟、重获新生的药王宗众人，兴高采烈的跟前方修士打探情况。却骇然发现了他们居然重新回到了玄黄界。好在十宗如今在万仙盟的攻势下已经自顾不暇，暂时没有人来找他们算账。
A solitary star hung high above, like a divine eye, looking down.
yī fān zhuó mó xià ， wán quán nòng bù qīng chǔ jiū jìng fā shēng le hé shì 、 jīng jù bù yǐ de yào wáng zōng zhòng rén ， gān cuì yī yǎo yá zhí jiē tóu wàn xiān méng ér qù 。 běn xiǎng zhe yǐ tā men jiù bìng zhì rén de běn shì ， wú lùn zài nǎ li dōu néng hùn kāi 。
一番琢磨下，完全弄不清楚究竟发生了何事、惊惧不已的药王宗众人，干脆一咬牙直接投万仙盟而去。本想着以他们救病治人的本事，无论在哪里都能混开。
"Are these true immortals who cross time and space, carrying on the flame of life, rebelling against such a fate?"
dàn xīn fǎ xiū shì ， dòng tiān bù pò ， shén hún bù miè 、 ròu shēn bù sǐ de tè xìng ， ràng yào wáng zōng de zhū duō jué xué quán dōu méi yǒu le yòng wǔ zhī dì 。 fǎn dào shì yǐ qián bèi shì zuò bù wù zhèng yè de yī xiē qí tè dān yào ， dài gěi le tā men lì zú de zī běn 。
但新法修士，洞天不破，神魂不灭、肉身不死的特性，让药王宗的诸多绝学全都没有了用武之地。反倒是以前被视作不务正业的一些奇特丹药，带给了他们立足的资本。
Li Fan stood in the dark expanse of space, gazing beyond the primordial realm, silent.
duì yú zhè xiē ， lǐ fán dōu bìng bù zěn me guān xīn 。 jiāng yào wáng zōng quán tǐ suí shǒu diū xià 、 ér bú shì shùn dài zhe tūn shì ， yǐ jīng shì kàn zài xī rì de qíng fēn shàng le 。
对于这些，李凡都并不怎么关心。将药王宗全体随手丢下、而不是顺带着吞噬，已经是看在昔日的情分上了。
"With my abilities, I can uncover this truth. How much more so for those transcending masters or even the Three Sages?"
zài jiāng zhǎn kāi xiān yù ， yǐ shì dào zhī fǎ quán dōu tūn rù fù zhōng hòu ， chū dài xiān guī zàn shí yíng lái le jí xiàn 。 suī rán yǐn yuē jiān suǒ jiàn de shàng fāng shān jǐng xiàng qīng xī le xiē ， dàn qún shān bī jìn de jù dà yā pò gǎn ， yě rú yǐng suí xíng de jiàng lín zài chū dài xiān guī shēn shàng 。
在将展开仙域，以噬道之法全都吞入腹中后，初代仙傀暂时迎来了极限。虽然隐约间所见的上方山景象清晰了些，但群山逼近的巨大压迫感，也如影随行的降临在初代仙傀身上。
"Even so, they show no hesitation or despair..."
xiān ， běn jiù shì shān hǎi lián tōng de zào wù 。 hǎi zhī wú xiàn ， shān zhī gāo shì 。 èr zhě píng héng ， zào jiù zhēn xiān 。 rú jīn chū dài xiān guī yǐ shì dào zhī fǎ ， tūn shì le yī zhěng gè xiān yù hòu 。 zài qí shēn shàng ， shān yǐ jīng yǐn yǐn yā guò le hǎi 。
仙，本就是山海联通的造物。海之无限，山之高势。二者平衡，造就真仙。如今初代仙傀以噬道之法，吞噬了一整个仙域后。在其身上，山已经隐隐压过了海。
"Remarkable!"
lǐ fán yǐn yǐn chá jué dào ， mǒu xiē mò cè de biàn huà ， zhèng zài chū dài xiān guī shēn shàng fā shēng 。 shàng qiě bù néng duàn dìng ， cǐ biàn huà jiū jìng shì hǎo shì huài 。
李凡隐隐察觉到，某些莫测的变化，正在初代仙傀身上发生。尚且不能断定，此变化究竟是好是坏。
Li Fan sincerely praised.
guǒ duàn tíng zhǐ le jì xù tūn shì de bù fá ， lǐ fán cháng shì diào yòng wú xiàn zhī lì ， yǐ hǎi kàng shān 。
果断停止了继续吞噬的步伐，李凡尝试调用无限之力，以海抗山。
If there was something that guided the fusion of mountains and seas, perhaps it was the will of the Creator God that had vanished.
dào dào hǎi cháo shēng zhōng ， shàng fāng shān yǐng suǒ dài lái de wú xíng yā pò gǎn ， zhōng yú yǒu suǒ xiāo tuì 。 chū dài xiān guī zhè cái miǎn qiǎng huī fù le huó dòng néng lì 。
道道海潮声中，上方山影所带来的无形压迫感，终于有所消退。初代仙傀这才勉强恢复了活动能力。
To save the dust world and reverse the trend of mountain-sea merger meant competing with the Creator God.
“ gāng gāng nà zhǒng ， shì yào bèi lián mián qún shān yīn yǐng tūn mò de jìng yù ， jìng gēn wǒ zhī qián jīng lì de sān dào xiāng róng gǎn ， shí fēn xiāng xiàng ？”
“刚刚那种，似要被连绵群山阴影吞没的境遇，竟跟我之前经历的三道相融感，十分相像？”
The ants in the mountains and seas raised their antennae to resist the solitary star hanging above. It was a feat beyond comprehension.
chū dài xiān guī yuán dì pán zuò tiáo xī ， lǐ fán zé shì xì xì huí wèi zhe 。 xǔ jiǔ hòu ， fāng cái què dìng 。
初代仙傀原地盘坐调息，李凡则是细细回味着。许久后，方才确定。
"Even if the sky falls, there's always someone tall enough to hold it up. Since they can still persist, I'll support them for now..."
“ zhǐ shì sān dào xiāng róng shí ， wǒ jiāng xiāo sàn yú wèi zhī de shén mì lì liàng jí hé zhī zhōng 。”
“只是三道相融时，我将消散于未知的神秘力量集合之中。”
Li Fan muttered this as he suppressed his unease.
“ ér gāng gāng chū dài xiān guī suǒ jīng lì de ， jǐn jǐn shì bèi shàng fāng shān suǒ yān mò ……”
“而刚刚初代仙傀所经历的，仅仅是被上方山所淹没……”
Li Fan's unease stemmed partly from the anxiety after seeing the truth of mountains and seas and partly from distrust.
lǐ fán bù yóu xiǎng dào le yǔn xiān jìng 。 yǔn xiān jìng zhōng ， zhǐ yǒu wú xiàn hǎi 、 méi yǒu shàng fāng shān 。
李凡不由想到了陨仙境。陨仙境中，只有无限海、没有上方山。
After all, Li Fan had never trusted others with his life.
“ ruò shì bù gù hòu guǒ ， jiāng shì dào zhī fǎ shī zhǎn dào jí zhì 。 shì fǒu kě yǐ dǎ zào chū ， lìng wài yī piàn yǔ zhī xiāng duì de 、 jiàn lì zài shàng fāng shān shàng de yǔn xiān jìng ？”
“若是不顾后果，将噬道之法施展到极致。是否可以打造出，另外一片与之相对的、建立在上方山上的陨仙境？”
Even if it was someone like Purple Robe, who was far more powerful than him, or the Three Sages.

李凡眯起眼前，凭借着曾经切身经历过三道相融，极速推衍起来。
Regarding his own safety, he secretly wondered: "Can these people really do it?"
rú guǒ néng zài shàng fāng shān yǐng de tūn mò xià ， yī rán hái néng wéi chí zì shēn shén zhì 。 yīng gāi jiù néng kàn qīng chǔ zhè piàn xiāng duì de yǔn xiān jìng 。
如果能在上方山影的吞没下，依然还能维持自身神智。应该就能看清楚这片相对的陨仙境。
This doubt would never dissipate until the trend of mountain-sea merger was completely reversed.

仙墟、棋子仙墟，所有这些曾经被自己所吞噬的仙界土壤，全都完好无损的再度出现。不过并不是以它们在现实中的形态。
"Perhaps I will have to take personal action to feel secure."
ér shì yuán běn zài shàng fāng shān shí de mú yàng ！
而是原本在上方山时的模样！
Li Fan's gaze was deep as if piercing through broken time and space, reaching the source of everything.

星星点点，分布在连绵无尽的山峦之中。宛如黑暗中的群星。
Thank you for your concern from all readers. Yesterday's emergency didn't reveal any significant issues; now I'm hooked up to a 24-hour ECG monitor, waiting for the results.
As the First Immortal Puppet temporarily reached its limit after swallowing the entire domain, Li Fan noticed that the image of Mount Above-the-Heavens became clearer. However, the overwhelming pressure from the continuous mountain shadows also descended upon it.
"Was the situation where I almost got swallowed by a series of mountains similar to my previous threefold merging experience?"
Li Fan sat in place and began to reflect on this. After some time, he finally confirmed his thoughts: "During the threefold merging, I dissipated into an unknown force."
"But what happened just now was merely being submerged by Mount Above-the-Heavens..."
Thinking of the陨仙境 (Doomed Heaven Realm), where there was only infinite sea and no Mount Above-the-Heavens, Li Fan wondered: "If I were to push the mountain devouring technique to its extreme without considering the consequences, could it create a different realm based on Mount Above-the-Heavens?"
Drawing on his experience of merging with the threefold force, he rapidly deduced this. If he could maintain his consciousness even as Mount Above-the-Heavens swallowed him, he might be able to see this opposite Doomed Heaven Realm.
All the realms that had been devoured by Li Fan—such as the domain and the chessboard domain—reappeared intact. However, they did not appear in their current form but rather how they originally looked on Mount Above-the-Heavens.
They scattered like stars among endless mountains, resembling a cluster of stars in darkness.
"远离山海交融之所，故而从某种意义上讲，同样能够躲避道湮之劫。不过代价么……"
Li Fan seemed to be a ghost as he surveyed his surroundings. The silence within Mount Above-the-Heavens was profound; there were no sounds of life, only towering peaks.
"Absolute order and hierarchy."
"Life has no meaning here."
Suddenly, Li Fan understood why all the creatures in Sun Pi-miao's Mountain and Sea Allegory were born from the sea. Because Mount Above-the-Heavens itself contradicted life.
"Even if true immortals could borrow the strength of mountains, it doesn't mean they would merge with them. They just stood on top of them. Even the Three Sages of the Immortal World are like this."
"And what is the fate of those who merge into the mountains?"
The shadows of the mountain ranges surrounded him from all sides. The tiny realms he had devoured quickly disappeared in the endless sea of mountains.
Li Fan woke up from his deduction, his forehead drenched with cold sweat. It wasn't due to fear but out of instinctual reverence for Mount Above-the-Heavens.
A large shadow covered the First Immortal Puppet's body.
"Devouring mountains and seas is not just a theory; it requires simultaneously dealing with the backlash from both."
"While devouring the mountain and sea, I am also being devoured by them."
Li Fan understood that he needed to help the First Immortal Puppet connect with the infinite sea to alleviate the shadow of the mountains.
It took him nearly half a year to completely wash away the shadows on his body.
Li Fan couldn't help but sigh: "The Two Sage Kings, Return-to-True and Join-the-Sea, truly are prodigies. Even if one were missing, the ultimate outcome of perfecting the path of immortality would likely not be good."
"The only result is to merge with the mountain and sea, becoming one with them."
"However, precisely because of their great deeds of connecting the mountains and seas, they maintained a balance between each other, creating the foothold for true immortals."
"But in return, those who stand on the mountain and sea must also face the tribulations of the mountains and seas themselves. The fusion of mountain and sea, the tribulation of Daoian Void..."
The fundamental laws of the world were merely the principles of mountains and seas. Li Fan directly devoured the remnants of the immortal realm through the mountain devouring technique, bypassing the process of enlightenment.
Although his cultivation speed was fast, the side effects were beyond what ordinary people could bear.
Thanks to Zhenhuan's assistance, he had survived the tribulation of merging with the threefold force. Facing this lower-level "degradation," he maintained his stability.
"Everything merges into mountains and seas, and their fusion leads to a higher realm."
"Even eternal life and true immortality like Zhenhuan merge into this sequence..."
Li Fan recalled the legend of the Creator God.
"This legend hints at the greatest truth between mountains and seas."
"The so-called Creator God created all things in the world through the evolution of mountains and seas. Ultimately, everything will return to its starting point."
"As the dust world dissipates and mountains and seas merge, this is the trend, the destiny that creatures in the mountains and seas must face."
A solitary star hung high above, like a divine eye, looking down.
"Are these true immortals who cross time and space, carrying on the flame of life, rebelling against such a fate?"
Li Fan stood in the dark expanse of space, gazing beyond the primordial realm, silent.
"With my abilities, I can uncover this truth. How much more so for those transcending masters or even the Three Sages?"
"Even so, they show no hesitation or despair..."
"Remarkable!"
Li Fan sincerely praised.
If there was something that guided the fusion of mountains and seas, perhaps it was the will of the Creator God that had vanished.
To save the dust world and reverse the trend of mountain-sea merger meant competing with the Creator God.
The ants in the mountains and seas raised their antennae to resist the solitary star hanging above. It was a feat beyond comprehension.
"Even if the sky falls, there's always someone tall enough to hold it up. Since they can still persist, I'll support them for now..."
Li Fan muttered this as he suppressed his unease.
Li Fan's unease stemmed partly from the anxiety after seeing the truth of mountains and seas and partly from distrust.
After all, Li Fan had never trusted others with his life.
Even if it was someone like Purple Robe, who was far more powerful than him, or the Three Sages.
Regarding his own safety, he secretly wondered: "Can these people really do it?"
This doubt would never dissipate until the trend of mountain-sea merger was completely reversed.
"Perhaps I will have to take personal action to feel secure."
Li Fan's gaze was deep as if piercing through broken time and space, reaching the source of everything.
