zhèng dāng bái shù yuè jiàn jiàn sǐ ér fù shēng zhī jì ， lǐ fán yě zhōng yú jiē dào le wú miàn xiān de dá fù 。
正当白漱月渐渐死而复生之际，李凡也终于接到了无面仙的答复。
As Bai Shu Yue gradually revived, Li Fan finally received the response from Faceless Immortal.
“ dào dé zhēn xiān tā zhèng zài móu huà yī jiàn jí qí zhòng yào de shì qíng 。”
“道德真仙他正在谋划一件极其重要的事情。”
"True Virtue True Immortal is currently plotting something of utmost importance."
“ ruò shì néng zǔ zhǐ cǐ shì ， huò néng yí dìng chéng dù ， niǔ zhuǎn wǒ gēn tā zhī jiān de shí lì chā jù 。”
“若是能阻止此事，或能一定程度，扭转我跟他之间的实力差距。”
"If we can stop him from doing it, perhaps we could somewhat narrow the power gap between us."
huà lǐ suǒ shuō de “ tā ”， zì rán jiù shì dào dé zhēn xiān zhōng de “ dào ”， hé gān xiān le 。
话里所说的“他”，自然就是道德真仙中的“道”，何干仙了。
The "he" referred to in this statement naturally was Dao from True Virtue True Immortal—Dao Immortal.
wú miàn xiān dàng zhēn shí fēn jǐn shèn 。 kǎo lǜ le wǔ shí duō nián ， dōu bù céng yǒu guò yào lòu miàn de yì si 。 ér shì děng dài dào le yí gè liáng jī ， wú xū zì jǐ xiàn shēn ， tóng shí yě néng kǎo yàn lǐ fán de “ chéng yì ”。
无面仙当真十分谨慎。考虑了五十多年，都不曾有过要露面的意思。而是等待到了一个良机，无需自己现身，同时也能考验李凡的“诚意”。
Faceless Immortal truly was cautious. He had pondered for over fifty years without any intention of revealing himself. Instead, he waited for a good opportunity where he didn't need to show up but could test Li Fan's sincerity.
lǐ fán yuán běn de mù dì ， jiù shì wèi le huì yī huì hé gān xiān ， gù ér yě méi yǒu zài yì 。 ér shì zhí jiē xún wèn qǐ le zhè suǒ wèi de “ liáng jī ”。
李凡原本的目的，就是为了会一会何干仙，故而也没有在意。而是直接询问起了这所谓的“良机”。
Li Fan's original purpose was to meet Dao Immortal, so he paid no mind and directly inquired about this "good opportunity."
“ dào dé zhēn …… hé gān xiān tā sì yì yóu niàn 。 xīn wú dào dé ， gù ér suǒ xíng suǒ xiǎng ， jiē guī dào dé 。” huò xǔ shì yīn wèi jué de lǐ fán wèi lìng wài yí gè zì jǐ qǐ de míng zì fǎn ér gèng jiā hé shì ， gù ér wú miàn xiān suǒ xìng yě gǎi le chēng hū 。
“道德真……何干仙他肆意由念。心无道德，故而所行所想，皆归道德。”或许是因为觉得李凡为另外一个自己起的名字反而更加合适，故而无面仙索性也改了称呼。
"True Virtue... Dao Immortal acts as he pleases. He has no sense of morality, hence all his actions and thoughts are justified by virtue." Perhaps because he felt that Li Fan's name for him was more fitting, Faceless Immortal changed the address.
“ suī rán zài páng rén 、 shèn zhì bāo kuò wǒ zài nèi kàn lái ， hé gān xiān zuò chū de zhǒng zhǒng shì qíng ， dōu yǒu xiē jīng shì hài sú 、 yǒu bèi liáng zhī 。 dàn zài tā zì jǐ yǎn zhōng ， tā de suǒ zuò suǒ wéi 、 què shì wú bǐ zhèng què ， bù róng zhì huì de 。”
“虽然在旁人、甚至包括我在内看来，何干仙做出的种种事情，都有些惊世骇俗、有悖良知。但在他自己眼中，他的所作所为、却是无比正确，不容置喙的。”
"While to others, even myself, what Dao Immortal does seems outrageous and goes against good conscience. But in his eyes, everything he does is right and unassailable."
“ hé gān xiān de zhè zhǒng lǐ niàn rèn zhī ， yǒu zhe yī tào dú lì zì qià de luó jí zuò wéi zhī chēng 。 zhù yì ， hé gān xiān bìng fēi rèn wéi dàng zhēn wú dé 。 tā shí zé shì yǒu dé de ， zhǐ bù guò zhè ge dé ， gēn dà zhòng de rèn zhī xiāng bèi 、 zhǐ cún zài yú tā de rèn zhī zhī zhōng 。”
“何干仙的这种理念认知，有着一套独立自洽的逻辑作为支撑。注意，何干仙并非认为当真无德。他实则是有德的，只不过这个德，跟大众的认知相悖、只存在于他的认知之中。”
"This concept of Dao Immortal has a self-consistent logic as its foundation. Note that Dao Immortal doesn't think he's truly amoral. He actually is moral, just not in the way most people understand it—only existing within his own cognition."
“ zhè me duō nián lái ， yì zhí méi yǒu wài rén dǎ pò tā de zhè zhǒng rèn zhī 。 xíng zì rèn zhèng què zhī shì ， dào dé liú zhuǎn 、 biàn dé qiáng dà ， jì xù jiàn xíng zì shēn lǐ niàn 。 zhè me duō nián lái ， hé gān xiān yì zhí zài chóng fù zhè ge xún huán ， bìng qiě wǎn ruò gǔn xuě qiú yì bān ， yù lái yù qiáng dà 。”
“这么多年来，一直没有外人打破他的这种认知。行自认正确之事，道德流转、变得强大，继续践行自身理念。这么多年来，何干仙一直在重复这个循环，并且宛若滚雪球一般，愈来愈强大。”
"For so many years, no outsider has shattered this perception. He acts according to what he deems right, and virtue flows as he grows stronger. Over these years, Dao Immortal has been repeating this cycle, growing ever more powerful like a snowball."
“ dàn xiàn zài ， jiù yǒu yí gè diān fù tā rèn zhī de zuì hǎo jī huì ！”
“但现在，就有一个颠覆他认知的最好机会！”
"But now, there's the best opportunity to overturn his beliefs!"
wú miàn xiān wěi wěi dào lái 。
无面仙娓娓道来。
Faceless Immortal spoke calmly.
gǎn shòu zhe xuán tiān shí xiàng zhōng chuán lái de sī sī bō dòng ， lǐ fán ruò yǒu suǒ sī ， dǎ duàn liǎo wú miàn xiān de huà ：“ nǐ jìng rán néng chá jué dào hé gān xiān nà biān de jù tǐ dòng xiàng ？ kàn lái wǒ zhī qián dǎo shì yǒu xiē xiǎo qiáo nǐ le 。”
感受着玄天石象中传来的丝丝波动，李凡若有所思，打断了无面仙的话：“你竟然能察觉到何干仙那边的具体动向？看来我之前倒是有些小瞧你了。”
Feeling the subtle fluctuations from the Xuan Tian Stone Figure, Li Fan thought deeply and interrupted Faceless Immortal. "You can actually sense Dao Immortal's specific actions? It seems I underestimated you a bit."
“ hé gān xiān bìng fēi wú dé ， wú miàn xiān bìng fēi wú dào 。 nǐ men liǎng gè ， dàng zhēn shì yǒu diǎn yì si 。”
“何干仙并非无德，无面仙并非无道。你们两个，当真是有点意思。”
"Dao Immortal is not amoral, nor are you without virtue. You two really have something going on."
“ wǒ xiān qián jiù shuō guò ， dào dé fēn jiā ， jué fēi yī fēn wéi èr nà me jiǎn dān 。 qí zhōng xuán miào zhī chù ， wéi yǒu wǒ men liǎng gè zì shēn fāng cái zhī xiǎo ， shí zài bù zú wéi wài rén dào yě 。” wú miàn xiān fū yǎn jiě shì le xià ， ér hòu xiáng xì jiǎng shù le jū jī hé gān xiān de nà ge dà hǎo jī huì 。
“我先前就说过，道德分家，绝非一分为二那么简单。其中玄妙之处，唯有我们两个自身方才知晓，实在不足为外人道也。”无面仙敷衍解释了下，而后详细讲述了狙击何干仙的那个大好机会。
"I've said before that the division of virtue isn't as simple as splitting it into two parts. The subtleties only we understand can't be shared with outsiders," Faceless Immortal explained vaguely and then detailed the perfect opportunity to strike Dao Immortal.
què shì shè jí hé gān xiān zì shēn dào dé lǐ niàn de zuì jī chǔ hé xīn 。
却是涉及何干仙自身道德理念的最基础核心。
It involved the core foundation of Dao Immortal's moral beliefs.
“ hé gān xiān zhī suǒ yǐ zì rèn zì jǐ yǒu dào dé ， shì yīn wèi zài tā yǎn lǐ ， zì jǐ shì shì shàng wéi yī kě yǐ zhěng jiù shān hǎi zhī rén 。 gù ér shān hǎi jiān de qí tā suǒ yǒu cún zài ， dōu xū yào wèi tā de shēng cún suǒ ràng bù 。 nǎ pà wèi cǐ xī shēng ， yě shì lǐ suǒ yīng dāng zhī shì 。”
“何干仙之所以自认自己有道德，是因为在他眼里，自己是世上唯一可以拯救山海之人。故而山海间的其他所有存在，都需要为他的生存所让步。哪怕为此牺牲，也是理所应当之事。”
"Dao Immortal believes he has virtue because in his eyes, he is the only one who can save all beings of the mountains and seas. Hence, all other existences must yield for his survival. Even if it means sacrificing them."
“ gù ér tā kě yǐ lǐ zhí qì zhuàng de ， nǎ pà huǐ diào yī zhěng tiáo kě néng xìng 、 zhǐ shì wèi le zì jǐ shí lì de wēi mò tí shēng 。”
“故而他可以理直气壮的，哪怕毁掉一整条可能性、只是为了自己实力的微末提升。”
"He can justify destroying entire possibilities just to slightly boost his power."
tīng wén wú miàn xiān de jiǎng shù ， lǐ fán xīn zhōng bù yóu yī dòng ， nǎo hǎi zhōng shǎn guò gè niàn tou ， yǎn jīng wēi wēi mī qǐ 。
听闻无面仙的讲述，李凡心中不由一动，脑海中闪过个念头，眼睛微微眯起。
Hearing Faceless Immortal's explanation, Li Fan's mind stirred with a thought, his eyes narrowing.
bù guò biǎo miàn shàng què méi yǒu biǎo xiàn chū lái ， zhǐ shì rèn yóu wú miàn xiān jì xù jiǎng shù 。
不过表面上却没有表现出来，只是任由无面仙继续讲述。
However, he didn't show any outward reaction and let Faceless Immortal continue speaking.
“ tā yī qiè xíng dòng de jī shí ， dōu jiàn lì zài tā zuì zhōng néng gòu zhěng jiù shān hǎi zhī shàng 。 ruò shì néng dǎ pò tā de zhè zhǒng wàng xiǎng ， jiù néng duàn jué tā zhī dào dé zì wǒ liú zhuǎn 。 shèn zhì dōu bù xū nǐ wǒ chū shǒu ， suí zhe shí jiān de liú shì ， tā de shí lì fǎn ér huì bù duàn diē luò 。”
“他一切行动的基石，都建立在他最终能够拯救山海之上。若是能打破他的这种妄想，就能断绝他之道德自我流转。甚至都不需你我出手，随着时间的流逝，他的实力反而会不断跌落。”
"Everything he does is based on the belief that he will eventually save the mountains and seas. If we can break this delusion, it would cut off his virtuous self-flow. He wouldn't even need our intervention; over time, his power would decline."
“ cǐ kè de tā ， zhèng zài shān hǎi zhōng lìng wài yī tiáo kě néng xìng zhōng ， zào jiù wú biān shā niè 。 zhǐ wèi zài dù tí shēng zì jǐ shí lì 。 ruò shì zài cǐ shí jiāng qí jī bài ， shǐ qí sàng shī duì zì jǐ de mò míng xìn xīn 。 jiù kě shǐ qí yī jué bù zhèn ！”
“此刻的他，正在山海中另外一条可能性中，造就无边杀孽。只为再度提升自己实力。若是在此时将其击败，使其丧失对自己的莫名信心。就可使其一蹶不振！”
"He's currently creating endless carnage in another possibility of the mountains and seas just to boost his strength. If he could be defeated now, losing that misplaced confidence, he'd be utterly defeated!"
lǐ fán mǐn ruì de chá jué dào le wú miàn xiān huà lǐ de guān jiàn zhī chù ：“ cǐ shí …… yě jiù shì shuō ， jiù suàn píng cháng jī bài ， yě wú fǎ hàn dòng qí zì wǒ lǐ niàn 。 bì xū děng dào guān jiàn shí kè 。 suǒ yǐ ， tā cǐ kè shì zài wù dào ？”
李凡敏锐的察觉到了无面仙话里的关键之处：“此时……也就是说，就算平常击败，也无法撼动其自我理念。必须等到关键时刻。所以，他此刻是在悟道？”
Li Fan敏锐ly sensed the key point in Faceless Immortal's words: "Now... meaning even a regular defeat wouldn't shake his beliefs. It must wait for a critical moment. So, is he meditating?"
“ bù cuò ！ yǔ qí shuō shì wù dào ， bù rú shuō shì 【 xiū xíng 】 lái de gèng jiā zhǔn què 。 hé gān xiān de xiū xíng fāng shì ， yì yú cháng rén 。 suī rán tā wèi zì jǐ zhǎo dào le tú lù zhòng shēng de kāi tuō lǐ yóu ， yī qiè dōu shì wèi le zuì zhōng zhěng jiù shān hǎi 。 dàn tā de nèi xīn ， bì jìng hái cán cún zhe zhèng què de liáng zhī 。 zhī dào zì jǐ zhè bān suǒ zuò suǒ wéi ， shì yǒu bèi rén lún de 。 tā xū yào zài shí lì zēng zhǎng de guò chéng zhōng ， xiāo jiǎn nèi xīn cán cún zhèng què liáng zhī duì zì jǐ de yǐng xiǎng 。”
“不错！与其说是悟道，不如说是【修行】来的更加准确。何干仙的修行方式，异于常人。虽然他为自己找到了屠戮众生的开脱理由，一切都是为了最终拯救山海。但他的内心，毕竟还残存着正确的良知。知道自己这般所作所为，是有悖人伦的。他需要在实力增长的过程中，消减内心残存正确良知对自己的影响。”
"Correct! Rather than meditation, it's more accurate to say 'cultivation.' Dao Immortal's way of cultivation differs from the norm. Although he found an excuse for killing all beings—everything for saving the mountains and seas—he still harbors correct conscience. He knows his actions are against human nature. During his growth, he needs to diminish this residual good conscience."
“ jù tǐ biǎo xiàn zé shì ， gù yì zào jiù yī duàn shā niè yīn guǒ 。 dāng jǐn cún bù duō de liáng zhī ， gǎn shòu dào zì jǐ suǒ zào jiù de shā niè hòu ， biàn huì xīn shēng kuì jiù 、 bēi tòng 。 shèn zhì huì chū xiàn yī duàn shí jiān de shī kòng zhuàng tài 。”
“具体表现则是，故意造就一段杀孽因果。当仅存不多的良知，感受到自己所造就的杀孽后，便会心生愧疚、悲痛。甚至会出现一段时间的失控状态。”
"Specifically, he deliberately creates a cycle of karma. When little remaining conscience feels guilty over the carnage it caused, it will feel remorse and even go into a state of loss for some time."
“ dàn hé gān xiān ér hòu jiāng zhè xiē zhǒng zhǒng fù miàn qíng xù gěi zhèn yā hòu ， biàn néng chóng xīn huī fù zhèng cháng 。 bìng qiě ， cán cún liáng zhī biàn huì yīn cǐ xiāo hào diào yī bù fèn 。 dāng liáng zhī jǐn sàng zhī jì ， tā yě jiù zài wú pò zhàn 。 ér xiàn zài ， jīng lì guò zhè me duō nián de xiū xíng ， tā suǒ shèng liáng zhī yǐ jīng bù duō le 。”
“但何干仙而后将这些种种负面情绪给镇压后，便能重新恢复正常。并且，残存良知便会因此消耗掉一部分。当良知尽丧之际，他也就再无破绽。而现在，经历过这么多年的修行，他所剩良知已经不多了。”
"But after suppressing these negative emotions, Dao Immortal can return to normal. The residual conscience also consumes part of its strength. When all good conscience is gone, he'll have no flaws. After so many years of cultivation, his remaining conscience has diminished greatly."
“ měi yī cì de xiū xíng ， dōu shì zǔ zhǐ tā de zuì hǎo jī huì 。 zhī qián wǒ yě céng shì tú chū shǒu guò ， kě xī shí lì chā jù tài dà ……”
“每一次的修行，都是阻止他的最好机会。之前我也曾试图出手过，可惜实力差距太大……”
"Every cultivation is the best opportunity to stop him. I tried before but failed due to the vast power gap..."
“ nǐ bù fáng ， qù cǐ kě néng xìng yī tàn jiū jìng 。”
“你不妨，去此可能性一探究竟。”
"You should go and explore this possibility."
wú miàn xiān chuán lái yī chù shān hǎi zuò biāo ， ér hòu bō dòng jiù chè dǐ xiāo shī xià qù 。
无面仙传来一处山海坐标，而后波动就彻底消失下去。
Faceless Immortal transmitted a coordinate in the mountains and seas, then the fluctuations ceased.
yě bù zhī dào jiū jìng shì zài duǒ zhe shén me ， xiǎo xīn jǐn shèn dào le jí diǎn 。
也不知道究竟是在躲着什么，小心谨慎到了极点。
It was unclear what he was avoiding, being extremely cautious.
“ zhè liǎng rén ……”
“这两人……”
"These two..."
“ yī dào 、 yī dé 。”
“一道、一德。”
"One Dao, One Virtue."
àn zì sī liáng piàn kè ， lǐ fán biàn shùn zhe wú miàn xiān de zhǐ yǐn ， yī yuè ér qǐ 、 lí kāi le yuán chū kě néng xìng 。
暗自思量片刻，李凡便顺着无面仙的指引，一跃而起、离开了原初可能性。
Thinking for a moment, Li Fan followed Faceless Immortal's guidance, leaping away from the initial possibility to search for Dao Immortal in the mountains and seas.
qián wǎng shān hǎi zhī zhōng xún qí zōng jì 。
前往山海之中寻其踪迹。
The distance was considerable.
jù lí yuán chū pǒ wèi yáo yuǎn 。
距离原初颇为遥远。
Fortunately, there was no concept of time in the mountains and seas.
hǎo zài shān hǎi zhī jiān ， bìng wú shí jiān liú shì gài niàn 。
好在山海之间，并无时间流逝概念。
When Li Fan arrived at the destination possibility, he saw an apocalyptic scene.
dāng lǐ fán lái dào mù dì dì kě néng xìng shí ， jiàn dào de biàn shì yī fù mò shì jǐng xiàng 。
当李凡来到目的地可能性时，见到的便是一副末世景象。
Dao Immortal stood amidst the shattered star sea, laughing wildly: "What does it matter to me? What does it matter to me?"
hé gān xiān lì yú pò suì de xīng hǎi zhōng yāng ， kuáng xiào ：“ yǔ wǒ hé gān ， yǔ wǒ hé gān ！”
何干仙立于破碎的星海中央，狂笑：“与我何干，与我何干！”
Despite countless beings perishing around him, he remained unmoved.
rèn píng zhōu zāo wú shù shēng líng yǔn miè ， tā dōu wú dòng yú zhōng 。
任凭周遭无数生灵陨灭，他都无动于衷。
Li Fan could faintly see a pained expression on his face as he spoke these words, appearing extremely contradictory.
lǐ fán kě yǐ yǐn yuē kàn dào ， shuō zhe zhè xiē huà de tóng shí ， tā de liǎn shàng què yǒu bēi tòng shén qíng xiǎn lù 。
李凡可以隐约看到，说着这些话的同时，他的脸上确有悲痛神情显露。
But his body stood firm, watching the star sea and the possibility crumble.
xiǎn de jí wéi máo dùn 。
显得极为矛盾。
His tears dried up, and his expression grew resolute—almost sinister.
dàn tā de shēn qū ， shǐ zhōng chù lì bù dòng 。
但他的身躯，始终矗立不动。
All beings were fleeing for their lives in despair.
zuò shì xīng hǎi 、 nǎi zhì kě néng xìng de pò miè 。
坐视星海、乃至可能性的破灭。
The sudden appearance of Li Fan amidst this chaos made him stand out starkly.
yǎn lèi zhú jiàn gān hé ， shén qíng yě màn màn biàn dé jiān yì 。
眼泪逐渐干涸，神情也慢慢变得坚毅。
Instantly, Dao Immortal's gaze locked onto him without any preamble: "Die!"
nǎi zhì yǒu xiē xié xìng 。
乃至有些邪性。
It seemed like the sound of a wooden door being shut echoed in Li Fan's ears—no hallucination but the crackling of the collapse of many cosmic pillars!
suǒ yǒu shēng líng dōu zài táo mìng 、 jué wàng zhōng āi háo 。
所有生灵都在逃命、绝望中哀嚎。
As the possibility was destroyed, a wave-like劫难of Dao annihilation followed.
cǐ kè tū wù chū xiàn ， ér yòu dàn rán wú bǐ de lǐ fán ， jiù jí wéi xiǎn yǎn le 。
此刻突兀出现，而又淡然无比的李凡，就极为显眼了。
The already apocalyptic possibility was utterly destroyed by Li Fan's appearance.
shà shí zhī jiān ， jiù xī yǐn le hé gān xiān de mù guāng 。
霎时之间，就吸引了何干仙的目光。
Li Fan naturally felt no remorse. Instead, he shouted: "Well done!"
As Bai Shu Yue gradually revived, Li Fan finally received the response from Faceless Immortal.
"True Virtue True Immortal is currently plotting something of utmost importance."
"If we can stop him from doing it, perhaps we could somewhat narrow the power gap between us."
The "he" referred to in this statement naturally was Dao from True Virtue True Immortal—Dao Immortal.
