zài shuō chū zhè jù huà de shí hòu , lǐ fán nèi xīn , shì dí què yǐ jīng zuò hǎo le zì shēn chéng wéi wú xiàn líng xìng tí qǔ qì de zhǔn bèi de 。
在说出这句话的时候,李凡内心,是的确已经做好了自身成为无限灵性提取器的准备的。
When the simulation ended, Li Fan felt a wave of relief. He had been in a state of constant tension and now he finally felt like he could breathe freely.
tǎng ruò tā de cāi xiǎng shì cuò de 。 zhè yī qiè bìng fēi mó nǐ , ér shì zhēn zhèng de xiàn shí 。 yīn wèi yī niàn cí bēi ér fàng guò tā de zhū shèng , zài rú cǐ kāng kǎi chén cí zhī hòu , dìng rán bú huì zài fàng guò tā 。
倘若他的猜想是错的。这一切并非模拟,而是真正的现实。因为一念慈悲而放过他的诸圣,在如此慷慨陈词之后,定然不会再放过他。
"Last time at the critical moment, what exactly happened? My plan seemed to fail, and I was really treated as an infinite spirit extractor..." Li Fan shivered involuntarily, remembering his fate.
fǎn zhī ……
反之……
"But why did I manage to escape from this simulation?" Even though he was now safe, a thick fog still enveloped his mind.
guāng huán zhī nèi , zhú bù xiàn rù le jí qí guǐ yì de fēn wéi zhī zhōng 。 zhū shèng yī jiù chén mò bù yǔ , dàn zài zhè yī piàn sǐ jì zhī xià , què shì yǒu kě bù de fēng bào 、 zhèng zài yùn niàng 。
光环之内,逐步陷入了极其诡异的氛围之中。诸圣依旧沉默不语,但在这一片死寂之下,却似有可怖的风暴、正在酝酿。
"Shen Zhen, will you rewrite the results of this simulation into the current Sea and Heaven?" Shen Zhen's cold voice interrupted Li Fan's confusion.
wǎn rú bù duàn shòu dào xiōng yǒng de làng cháo chōng jī , jiǔ shèng chù lì shēn yǐng shàng , wàn qiān lián yī zhèn zhèn fú xiàn 。
宛如不断受到汹涌的浪潮冲击,九圣矗立身影上,万千涟漪阵阵浮现。
"Hmm?"
ér zhū shèng suǒ zài kōng jiān , yě xiàn rù le jù liè de dòng dàng zhī zhōng 。 dào dào liè xì , rú tóng shāng kǒu , qǐng kè biàn bù 。 shèn zhì lǒng zhào lǐ fán de nà dào guāng huán , yě yīn zhī biàn dé niǔ qū 。 fǎng fú suí shí dū huì bēng jiě kāi lái 。
而诸圣所在空间,也陷入了剧烈的动荡之中。道道裂隙,如同伤口,顷刻遍布。甚至笼罩李凡的那道光环,也因之变得扭曲。仿佛随时都会崩解开来。
Li Fan was taken aback by this unexpected option. "Rewriting the results of this simulation into the current Sea and Heaven?" He carefully pondered over these words.
jìn gù lǐ fán de lì liàng , yīn ér chū xiàn le yī sī pò zhàn 。 lǐ fán dé yǐ cóng yì wàn fēn jiě suì piàn de zhuàng tài zhōng tuō lí chū lái 。
禁锢李凡的力量,因而出现了一丝破绽。李凡得以从亿万分解碎片的状态中脱离出来。
This was a completely new choice that hadn't appeared in any previous simulations. The meaning wasn't hard to understand, but it was so unbelievable that Li Fan found himself hard-pressed to believe it.
“ yào chéng gōng le !” jiàn dào zhū shèng kōng jiān zhè suí shí dū huì pò miè de mú yàng , lǐ fán xīn zhōng àn xǐ 。
“要成功了!”见到诸圣空间这随时都会破灭的模样,李凡心中暗喜。
He instinctively asked Shen Zhen for confirmation: "One thought true, illusion changes by heart."
què bù liào ……
却不料……
"Sea and Heaven boundless, can be rewritten instantly."
“ jì rú cǐ , wú děng biàn chéng quán nǐ 。”
“既如此,吾等便成全你。”
Shen Zhen replied with just sixteen words.
“ rì hòu shān hǎi jǐn fù , dào yān bù zài 。 wú děng biàn huí fàng nǐ jiě tuō , bìng tóng yàng suàn nǐ yī fèn jiù shì zhī gōng !”
“日后山海尽复,道湮不再。吾等便回放你解脱,并同样算你一份救世之功!”
After receiving a positive response from Shen Zhen, Li Fan was deeply shocked. He realized that the current situation was very strange.
jiǔ shèng bīng lěng de yán yǔ , zài cháng jiǔ de chén mò , shū rán chū xiàn 。
九圣冰冷的言语,在长久的沉默,倏然出现。
In his previous simulations, he had to choose an anchor point first before Shen Zhen could rewrite the results into reality. But now...
wǎn ruò bèi dāng tóu pō le pén bīng shuǐ , lǐ fán hū xī yī zhì , liǎn shàng lù chū nán yǐ zhì xìn de zhèn jīng shén qíng 。
宛若被当头泼了盆冰水,李凡呼吸一滞,脸上露出难以置信的震惊神情。
The surroundings were pitch black, and it seemed like there was nothing else in this space except for him.
“ děng ……”
“等……”
"Only by making a choice will changes occur next."
rán ér hái méi děng tā lái de jí shuō wán , fǎng fú shòu dào le mò cè jù lì niǎn yā , zhōu zāo yuán běn jiù chéng xiàn niǔ qū zhī zhuàng de guāng quān , chè dǐ suì liè kāi lái 。 huà zuò wàn qiān guāng diǎn , wǎn ruò fēi xuě màn tiān !
然而还没等他来得及说完,仿佛受到了莫测巨力碾压,周遭原本就呈现扭曲之状的光圈,彻底碎裂开来。化作万千光点,宛若飞雪漫天!
"And here, I am absolutely safe."
jīng huáng zhì jí de lǐ fán , yīn ér wán quán bào lù zài jiǔ shèng miàn qián 。
惊惶至极的李凡,因而完全暴露在九圣面前。
Understanding this, Li Fan didn't rush to make a decision. He carefully pondered over the options without paying attention to Shen Zhen's occasional reminders.
suǒ shòu yā lì , jiào zhī yǐ wǎng , gèng zēng bǎi bèi !
所受压力,较之以往,更增百倍!
"The results of this simulation..."
yuán běn lǐ fán yǐ wéi , zhū shèng kōng jiān zhōng de nà dào guāng huán , shì jiǔ shèng yòng lái jiě xī guān chá jìn rù xiū shì de shǒu duàn 。
原本李凡以为,诸圣空间中的那道光环,是九圣用来解析观察进入修士的手段。
"They should refer to everything that happened in my previous life."
xiàn zài , dāng zhè dào guāng huán pò suì zhī hòu , lǐ fán fāng zhī 。
现在,当这道光环破碎之后,李凡方知。
Recalling his fate as an infinite spirit extractor at the hands of the Nine Sages, Li Fan shivered involuntarily.
zhè guāng huán gēn běn shì yòng lái bǎo hù jìn rù cǐ chù de xiū shì de !
这光环根本是用来保护进入此处的修士的!
"Rewriting into the current Sea and Heaven means turning what I experienced during the simulation from false to true, making it real."
zhū shèng shēn yǐng , zhèng shì yīn wèi yǒu le zhè dào guāng huán de zǔ gé , fāng cái biàn dé mó hú bù qīng 。 yīn ér xiū shì cái néng cóng róng zhàn zài zhū shèng miàn qián 。
诸圣身影,正是因为有了这道光环的阻隔,方才变得模糊不清。因而修士才能从容站在诸圣面前。
Li Fan repeated "One thought true, illusion changes by heart" several times, pondering deeply.
ér ruò yǒu méi yǒu guāng quān de bǎo hù ……
而若有没有光圈的保护……
If before, Shen Zhen had executed "true as false," now he was doing "false as true!"
zài lǐ fán yǎn zhōng , jiǔ shèng shēn yǐng yǐ yī zhǒng jí qí kě bù de sù dù péng zhàng qǐ lái 。 bù guò hū xī jiān , jiù cóng gēn lǐ fán yì bān dà xiǎo 、 biàn chéng le jiǔ zūn wú fǎ kuī tàn de páng dà jù rén 。
在李凡眼中,九圣身影以一种极其可怖的速度膨胀起来。不过呼吸间,就从跟李凡一般大小、变成了九尊无法窥探的庞大巨人。
Even though this was just a simulation, Shen Zhen could transform the illusory into reality with his mysterious power.
dǐng tiān lì dì yī cí , dōu nán yǐ xíng róng qí wàn yī 。
顶天立地一词,都难以形容其万一。
"I can create things from nothing using false as true. How could Shen Zhen not be able to do it? I should have thought of that earlier."
jiǔ shèng gòng tóng chù lì , jìng rú shān shì hǎi 。
九圣共同矗立,竟如山似海。
But immediately following this realization came an overwhelming doubt:
chāo chū le lǐ fán suǒ néng “ shì ” de néng lì fàn wéi zhī wài !
超出了李凡所能“视”的能力范围之外!
"Rewriting the results of this simulation into the current Sea and Heaven, does the so-called Sea and Heaven include the Other Shore? Or specifically, will the Sages in the Sea and Heaven be affected or notice anything?"
jiù xiàng shēn chù shān hǎi zhōng , jiù zì rán ér rán zhī xiǎo zhè piàn shān hǎi de míng zì bān 。
就像身处山海中,就自然而然知晓这片山海的名字般。
"If they can't affect the Sages, then as soon as Shen Zhen initiates the rewrite, the Sages will sense Shen Zhen. But if even the Sages are deceived..."
chù zài zhū shèng huán rào zhī xià , lǐ fán nǎo hǎi zhōng yě suí zhī fú xiàn le zhū shèng de míng hào !
处在诸圣环绕之下,李凡脑海中也随之浮现了诸圣的名号!
Li Fan's mind was a jumbled mess.
lián shān !
连山!
"Shen Zhen has great power, but the Sages' strength is also at the peak of Sea and Heaven. Most importantly, the Nine Sages can forcibly extract Shen Zhen from my body."
guī hǎi !
归海!
"If I lose Shen Zhen now, I won't have another chance to turn things around."
tài yì !
太易!
After experiencing setbacks in the simulation, Li Fan had a clear understanding of his current situation. Without Shen Zhen's help, achieving transcendence was his limit; advancing further and becoming a Sage was almost impossible.
shǒu qiū !
守丘!
And with Shen Zhen's loss, he would be doomed to become an infinite spirit extractor.
xīng chá !
星槎!
His mind raced for a long time before he finally calmed down. He tried asking Shen Zhen but received no response.
yè pàn !
业判!
"No matter what, the results of this simulation were terrible. Even if Shen Zhen can influence the Sages, following the results of this simulation will surely make them aware of both Shen Zhen and my infinite spirit."
qiè jī !
窃机!
"This simulation needs to be discarded."
……
……
Thinking about it, Li Fan took a deep breath and looked at the constantly flickering light characters before him.
měi yī zūn shèng zhě yuè rù yǎn lián , lǐ fán dōu rú tóng zài shòu le yī cì , hái zhēn bèi chōu qǔ zhī tòng !
每一尊圣者跃入眼帘,李凡都如同再受了一次,还真被抽取之痛!
He decisively chose "No".
shèn zhì jiù lián jiǔ shèng miàn mù dōu méi néng kàn qí quán , lǐ fán jiù yǎn qián yī hēi 、 chè dǐ hūn sǐ guò qù 。
甚至就连九圣面目都没能看齐全,李凡就眼前一黑、彻底昏死过去。
The glowing characters shattered into a curtain familiar to Li Fan.
“ wǒ zuì hòu de jié jú …… jìng shì rú cǐ me ?”
“我最后的结局……竟是如此么?”
Outside the dark space, faint light appeared. The light grew brighter until reality consumed this space.
mí mí hū hū zhī zhōng , lǐ fán fǎng fú kàn dào le zhū duō huàn yǐng 。 fǎng fú jīng lì le shān hǎi wú shù bù tóng de jié jú , tā jiàn zhèng le bǐ àn de bēng jiě 、 shān hǎi de pò suì 、 dào yān de zàn shí tuì què ……
迷迷糊糊之中,李凡仿佛看到了诸多幻影。仿佛经历了山海无数不同的结局,他见证了彼岸的崩解、山海的破碎、道湮的暂时退却……
After a moment, Li Fan found himself back in the Xuan Huang World, his human abode in the Great Xuan Realm.
děng děng děng děng 。
等等等等。
All that had happened seemed like a dream, too long ago for him to fully grasp. It took him nearly half a day to adjust.
shì huàn shì zhēn , nán biàn xū jiǎ 。
似幻似真,难辨虚假。
"Even though it was just a simulation, it felt no different from personal experience."
dàn suǒ yǒu de zhè xiē shān hǎi zhī zhōng , dōu méi yǒu tā lǐ fán de cún zài , nǎ pà zhǐ shì shēn wèi yī zhī lóu yǐ de zī gé dōu méi yǒu 。 wán wán quán quán zhǐ shì zuò wéi chún cuì de yí gè páng guān zhě 。
但所有的这些山海之中,都没有他李凡的存在,哪怕只是身为一只蝼蚁的资格都没有。完完全全只是作为纯粹的一个旁观者。
Li Fan stretched his limbs, feeling uncomfortable in his frail human body.
yì huò zhě shuō ……
亦或者说……
"The current time point is set at one year, and Shen Zhen had already completed its recharge when I triggered the simulation. But instead of resetting Sea and Heaven to the original anchor point,"
shān hǎi chóng qǐ de rán liào ?
山海重启的燃料?
"the simulation ended because I didn't choose to rewrite it into the Sea and Heaven. So this was a complete waste of a chance."
zhēn xiàn rù le zhè zhǒng lìng rén jué wàng jú miàn zhī zhōng , lǐ fán nèi xīn què shì chū hū yì liào de píng jìng 。
真陷入了这种令人绝望局面之中,李凡内心却是出乎意料的平静。
"But strictly speaking, the results of this simulation were significant. Not only did it validate my path to transcendence, but it also revealed the details and risks of the Other Shore."
méi yǒu kǒng jù , méi yǒu hòu huǐ , yì méi yǒu zēng yuàn 。
没有恐惧,没有后悔,亦没有憎怨。
"If not for this simulation, I would have rashly entered the Other Shore and ended up in an irreparable situation. This was a stroke of luck by being in a state of amnesia,"
chú le tā zì shēn qí tè de páng guān shǔ xìng qǐ le zuò yòng zhī wài , gèng zhòng yào de shì , suǒ yǒu zhè xiē tā kàn dào de guāng jǐng zhōng , shān hǎi de jié jú zuì zhōng dōu shì pò miè 。
除了他自身奇特的旁观属性起了作用之外,更重要的是,所有这些他看到的光景中,山海的结局最终都是破灭。
"or perhaps Shen Zhen intended this all along."
wú yī lì wài 。
无一例外。
Li Fan's mind stirred as he called out to Shen Zhen.
yī cì yòu yī cì de lún huí chóng qǐ , bù guò dōu shì wú wàng de zhēng zhá bà le 。
一次又一次的轮回重启,不过都是无妄的挣扎罢了。
After a long absence, Shen Zhen's panel reappeared before him after some flashing.
lǐ fán shèn zhì yǒu xiē kě lián yǔ qìng xìng 。
李凡甚至有些可怜与庆幸。
The information on the panel seemed washed clean, leaving only basic information about Li Fan and Shen Zhen's abilities.
zì jǐ méi yǒu xiàn rù dào cǐ zhǒng jué wàng lún huí zhī zhōng 。
自己没有陷入到此种绝望轮回之中。
But Li Fan wasn't particularly sad. He stared at the thin panel and gradually understood:
shān hǎi lún huí , wú xiū wú zhǐ ,
山海轮回,无休无止,
"The original anchor point was cleansed by the three merging calamities, so there was no specific target for Shen Zhen to act upon. Thus, it conducted a true simulation."
yì wàn guāng yǐng lián mián rú hé , tāo tāo bù jìn , jiāng lǐ fán tūn mò 。
亿万光影连绵如河,滔滔不尽,将李凡吞没。
"But not just that..."
……
……
There were other factors.
bù zhī guò qù duō jiǔ , yī dào lǐ fán shú xī zhì jí de shēng yīn , zài hēi àn zhōng xiǎng qǐ 。
不知过去多久,一道李凡熟悉至极的声音,在黑暗中响起。
Li Fan suddenly realized his current human body's condition.
“【 běn cì mó nǐ jié shù 】”
“【本次模拟结束】”
"All the longevity power had vanished."
rú tóng yī kē shí zǐ , zhuì rù sǐ shuǐ zhī zhōng 。
如同一颗石子,坠入死水之中。
"Was this used as energy for the simulation?" Li Fan gradually understood.
suí hòu wàn qiān bō wén , dàng yàng kāi lái 。 zhú jiàn huàn xǐng le lǐ fán bīng fēng de yì niàn 。
随后万千波纹,荡漾开来。逐渐唤醒了李凡冰封的意念。
"What would happen if I initiated the simulation without the support of such powerful energy?"
“ zhè shēng yīn , hǎo shēng shú xī 。”
“这声音,好生熟悉。”
"I only need to wait until Shen Zhen recharges and then try again."
“ shì ……”
“是……”
Li Fan sat in meditation, waiting patiently. Although he was a human body, his current state wasn't weaker than when he was in true immortal form.
“ shì shén me lái zhe ?”
“是什么来着?”
Without considering the change between true and false, just controlling the essence of transcendence, he could suppress ordinary immortals effortlessly now.
“【 shì fǒu xuǎn zé , jiāng cǐ cì mó nǐ jié guǒ , fù xiě zhì dāng qián shān hǎi ?】”
“【是否选择,将此次模拟结果,覆写至当前山海?】”
Thus, even without any guarantees, Li Fan's mind remained calm.
méi yǒu huí yìng lǐ fán de mí máng , shēng yīn zhǐ shì lěng mò zhì jí de jì xù shuō dào 。
没有回应李凡的迷茫,声音只是冷漠至极的继续说道。
Until Shen Zhen completed its recharge.
ér zhè xiē gèng duō de huà yǔ , què shì rú tóng bù duàn zhì rù shuǐ zhōng de xì xiǎo shí kuài 。 bù jǐn jǐn yǐn qǐ wú shù quān xì xiǎo bō wén , gèng shì jiàn qǐ wú shù shuǐ huā !
而这些更多的话语,却是如同不断掷入水中的细小石块。不仅仅引起无数圈细小波纹,更是溅起无数水花!
Li Fan tried to activate Shen Zhen again. He could clearly feel the message coming from Shen Zhen.
zhōng jiū shì , huàn xǐng le lǐ fán nà chén fēng yǐ jiǔ de jì yì 。
终究是,唤醒了李凡那尘封已久的记忆。
"Shen Zhen must have transmitted this before too, but I didn't notice it in my amnesiac state."
“ hái zhēn ! duì le , zhè shì hái zhēn de shēng yīn !”
“还真!对了,这是还真的声音!”
"There are two choices: return to the original anchor point set for one year,"
wǎn ruò cóng bīng fēng zhuàng tài zhōng tuō lí chū lái , xīn zhōng de jí duān xǐ yuè , rú tóng wēn nuǎn de huǒ yàn 、 jiāng lǐ fán huàn xǐng 。
宛若从冰封状态中脱离出来,心中的极端喜悦,如同温暖的火焰、将李凡唤醒。
"or initiate another simulation."
tā rú jī sì kě de pǐn cháng zhe nèi xīn zhè shī ér fù de de zī wèi , yī jù yī jù fǎn fù jǔ jué hái zhēn suǒ shuō de měi yī jù huà 。
他如饥似渴的品尝着内心这失而复得的滋味,一句一句反复咀嚼还真所说的每一句话。
"But because there isn't enough energy, the results of this simulation can't compare with the previous one."
xǔ jiǔ zhī hòu , lǐ fán zhōng yú huí guò shén lái 。
许久之后,李凡终于回过神来。
"The experience during the last simulation was identical to reality. Even the results could cover reality. But if I force a simulation now..."
“ jié shù …… mó nǐ jié shù le ?”
“结束……模拟结束了?”
"Not only will it differ from reality, but the results won't affect reality."
hǎo sì yī dào léi tíng , pī kāi hēi àn , zhào liàng zhōu zāo 。
好似一道雷霆,劈开黑暗,照亮周遭。
The key was still the energy required for the simulation.
When the simulation ended, Li Fan felt a wave of relief. He had been in a state of constant tension and now he finally felt like he could breathe freely.
"Last time at the critical moment, what exactly happened? My plan seemed to fail, and I was really treated as an infinite spirit extractor..." Li Fan shivered involuntarily, remembering his fate.
"But why did I manage to escape from this simulation?" Even though he was now safe, a thick fog still enveloped his mind.
"Shen Zhen, will you rewrite the results of this simulation into the current Sea and Heaven?" Shen Zhen's cold voice interrupted Li Fan's confusion.
"Hmm?"
Li Fan was taken aback by this unexpected option. "Rewriting the results of this simulation into the current Sea and Heaven?" He carefully pondered over these words.

"And here, I am absolutely safe."
