rán ér bìng bù yòng bái shù yuè zuò chū jué zé 。
然而并不用白漱月做出抉择。
However, the miracle did not come.
bù jiǔ hòu yī jiàn shì de fā shēng ， shǐ de píng jìng le qiān nián de shuò xīng hǎi ， fēng bō jiàn qǐ 。
不久后一件事的发生，使得平静了千年的朔星海，风波渐起。
Surviving in the torrent of Dao Immersion seemed to have exhausted their luck.
zuì chū ， shì bái shù yuè gǎn jué dào ， zhěng gè shuò xīng hǎi dōu hǎo sì shòu dào jù liè huàng dòng bān ， bù tíng zhèn dàng 。
最初，是白漱月感觉到，整个朔星海都好似受到剧烈晃动般，不停震荡。
In the end, the denizens of the Dao Network were left to drift alone and despondently towards their doom.
dào wǎng qīng chàn ， xīng hé fèi téng 。
道网轻颤，星河沸腾。
Before the end came, the organization of the Dao Network had already crumbled into chaos. Despair led to madness; self-inflicted slaughter...
ruò bú shì shuò xīng hǎi dào wǎng jīng guò qiān nián lái bù duàn dì zēng bǔ ， qiáng dù yǐ jīng zēng jiā le bù shǎo 。 zhè děng chéng dù de zhèn dòng ， jué duì suàn shì yī cháng kě bù jié nàn 。 bù shuō jiù cǐ qīng fù ， dào wǎng bèi sī liè 、 sān fēn zhī yī shēng líng shùn jiān yǔn luò ， kěn dìng shì táo bù diào de 。
若不是朔星海道网经过千年来不断地增补，强度已经增加了不少。这等程度的震动，绝对算是一场可怖劫难。不说就此倾覆，道网被撕裂、三分之一生灵瞬间陨落，肯定是逃不掉的。
Even White Dew herself found it hard to control the chaotic situation.
“ zhè zhèn dòng chuán lái de fāng xiàng ……”
“这震动传来的方向……”
She tried her last desperate attempt by seeking help from the Dao Master, but even as the mountains and rivers vanished in the torrent of Dao Immersion, there was no response.
“ guāng wú xīng hǎi ？ jiū jìng fā shēng le hé shì ？”
“光吾星海？究竟发生了何事？”
"Too vast is the Sea and Mountains, too deep is the Dao Immersion."
bái shù yuè de shì xiàn ， yuè yú shuò xīng hǎi shàng 。 chù lì dào wǎng ， yáo wàng xū wú hēi àn yuǎn fāng 。 xīn zhōng hū de yǒng qǐ yī zhèn qiáng liè de bù ān 。
白漱月的视线，跃于朔星海上。矗立道网，遥望虚无黑暗远方。心中忽的涌起一阵强烈的不安。
"There's no hope left."
zhè gǎn jué ， zhèng gēn shàng yī shì bèi huī hóng dào yān suǒ tūn mò shí ， yī mú yī yàng ！
这感觉，正跟上一世被恢宏道湮所吞没时，一模一样！
Silently, the remnants of the Dao Network on White Dew perished after another thirty-six years.
“ bù hǎo ， dào yān dà cháo yào lái le ！” bái shù yuè shùn jiān míng bái guò lái 。
“不好，道湮大潮要来了！”白漱月瞬间明白过来。
Only White Dew and the Boundless Wall survived under the protection of the Everlasting Cloak.
dāng xià shén niàn lián xì shàng shuò xīng hǎi zhì shì huì zhū zǔ zhī ， ràng tā men xiǎo xīn jiè bèi 。
当下神念联系上朔星海治事会诸组织，让他们小心戒备。
"Why am I so unlucky? Just when I haven't transformed yet, I encounter the Dao Immersion again?"
shì shí shàng ， bù yòng bái shù yuè tí xǐng ， dào wǎng gè zǎo yǐ jīng máng lù qǐ lái 。
事实上，不用白漱月提醒，道网各早已经忙碌起来。
"Such a wretched fate!" The Boundless Wall lamented helplessly.
yǒu yī zǔ qiān rén ， jí tǐ shī zhǎn dà dào lín shēn gōng ， jiāng dào wǎng suǒ shòu yā lì 、 jiē xù zì shēn 。
有一组千人，集体施展大道临身功，将道网所受压力、接续自身。
"You're still thinking about your opportunities? You can barely keep yourself alive." White Dew said with a bitter smile.
yǒu sì zūn wú míng ， fēn liè dào wǎng sì jiǎo 。 zhèng gēn dào wǎng hé xīn bèi zhèn yā de sì zūn zhī zhù xiāng fǔ xiāng chéng 。 zài dù jiā gù dào wǎng wěn dìng 。
有四尊无名，分列道网四角。正跟道网核心被镇压的四尊支柱相辅相成。再度加固道网稳定。
Without the protection of the Dao Network, exposed to the torrent of Dao Immersion and the Sea and Mountains, White Dew felt an inexplicable darkness enveloping her from all sides. Her soul and thoughts seemed frozen by this piercing darkness, making it hard for her to breathe or think. She could only maintain her focus by chatting with the Boundless Wall.
yǒu wàn qiān bù tóng sè zé qí zhì ， qí qí téng kōng ér qǐ ， fēi xiàng shuò xīng hǎi gè gè jiǎo luò 。 qí zhì fēi yáng de jiǎo dù yǔ sù dù ， gè bù xiāng tóng 、 jī liè biàn huà 。 zhèng shì shuò xīng hǎi qiān nián lái yán fā chū de ， yòng lái jiān cè dào yān jiàng lín de fǎ qì 。
有万千不同色泽旗帜，齐齐腾空而起，飞向朔星海各个角落。旗帜飞扬的角度与速度，各不相同、激烈变化。正是朔星海千年来研发出的，用来监测道湮降临的法器。
"I can't give up! If I transform, I will surely survive in the Dao Immersion..."
dào yān suǒ bù kě guān 、 bù kě jiàn ， dàn qí yí dàn jiàng lín ， duì xiàn shí shì jiè de pò huài què shì néng gòu guān chá dào de 。 cǐ fǎ qì zhèng shì jī yú cǐ yuán lǐ 。
道湮所不可观、不可见，但其一旦降临，对现实世界的破坏却是能够观察到的。此法器正是基于此原理。
The voice of the Boundless Wall gradually faded away as White Dew's consciousness grew increasingly hazy.
cǐ kè ， suǒ yǒu qí zhì ， quán dōu liè liè zuò xiǎng 。 shèn zhì hái yǒu bù shǎo chéng shòu bú zhù dào yā ， jìng zhí bēng jiě kāi lái 。 yóu cǐ kě jiàn ， jí jiāng dào lái de zhè chǎng dào yān dà cháo de jī liè chéng dù 。
此刻，所有旗帜，全都猎猎作响。甚至还有不少承受不住道压，径直崩解开来。由此可见，即将到来的这场道湮大潮的激烈程度。
At the end of her life, White Dew seemed to see a floating immortal coffin ahead. She struggled to approach it but just before she could reach it, the Everlasting Cloak shattered into pieces. She fell into the torrent of Dao Immersion and perished.
“ qǐng ， wàn xiān zhèn ！”
“请，万仙阵！”
...
zuò wéi dào wǎng hé xīn zǒng kòng ， bái shù yuè dāng jī lì duàn ， xià dá le zhǐ lìng 。
作为道网核心总控，白漱月当机立断，下达了指令。
A figure appeared mysteriously beside where White Dew had fallen. Despite the surrounding Dao Immersion, he was unharmed.
zhǐ shù gè hū xī hòu ， jiù hǎo sì yǒu wàn qiān xīng chén ， zì shuò xīng hǎi gè dì shēng qǐ 。
只数个呼吸后，就好似有万千星辰，自朔星海各地升起。
It was Li Fan!
xì xì wàng qù ， zhè xiē xīng chén de běn tǐ ， suī zhǐ shì yī wèi wèi fán rén 。 dàn zhè xiē fán rén shēn shàng de qì xī ， jìng quán dōu gēn zhēn xiān xiāng fǎng ！
细细望去，这些星辰的本体，虽只是一位位凡人。但这些凡人身上的气息，竟全都跟真仙相仿！
He waved his hand to summon a distant immortal coffin, which opened up.
wàn xiān qí liè ， shēng téng yú dào wǎng zhī shàng 。
万仙齐列，升腾于道网之上。
To his surprise, it was empty.
xíng chéng yī gēn gēn xì xiǎo de zhī zhù 。
形成一根根细小的支柱。
"This is not the one containing Rat Emperor."
fǎng fú zǎo yǐ jīng yǎn liàn liǎo wú shù biàn shì dé ， zhǐ shùn xī zhī hòu ， shuò xīng hǎi zhōng yǐ jīng shì tiān zhù rú má ！
仿佛早已经演练了无数遍似得，只瞬息之后，朔星海中已经是天柱如麻！
"Rather, another intact immortal coffin..."
yuán běn zài dào yān làng cháo chōng jī xià ， yǒu xiē yáo yáo zhuì zhuì de xīng hǎi ， cǐ kè zài duō fāng nǔ lì xià ， zhōng yú màn màn wěn dìng xià lái 。
原本在道湮浪潮冲击下，有些摇摇坠坠的星海，此刻在多方努力下，终于慢慢稳定下来。
After some observation, Li Fan concluded:
rán ér bái shù yuè shēn zhī ， xiàn zài jué hái bú shì fàng sōng de shí hòu 。
然而白漱月深知，现在绝还不是放松的时候。
"I have no idea where it came from or where it's going.
zhēn zhèng kě bù de dà cháo ， hái méi yǒu dào lái 。 xiàn zài bō jí ér zhì de ， zhǐ bù guò yú bō bà le ！
真正可怖的大潮，还没有到来。现在波及而至的，只不过余波罢了！
But this coffin material is truly extraordinary. If Aunt had held on a bit longer and hid inside...
“ gè bù jiān shǒu ， méi yǒu wǒ de mìng lìng ， shéi dōu bù xū wàng dòng ！”
“各部坚守，没有我的命令，谁都不需妄动！”
She would likely have extended her lifespan significantly.
suǒ wèi wàn xiān zhèn ， shì bái shù yuè zài qiān nián wù dào zhōng ， yī cì tū fā qí xiǎng de cháng shì 。
所谓万仙阵，是白漱月在千年悟道中，一次突发奇想的尝试。
Unfortunately, just a little more and she could have made it. Sigh..."
tā guān chéng dào suǒ liú hēi shān bái shuǐ zhī lǐ ， suàn shì yǐn yuē míng bái le xiē shān hǎi dà dào 。
她观承道所留黑山白水之理，算是隐约明白了些山海大道。
"However, without a clear objective, relying solely on the flow of events to reach safety has an extremely low probability. Let alone the other side."
shān zhī gāo shì ， hǎi zhī wú xiàn 。
山之高势，海之无限。
"Wasting time, might as well skip it."
èr zhě dé jiān ， jí wèi zhēn xiān 。
二者得兼，即为真仙。
Li Fan closed the coffin again and threw it back into the Dao Immersion.
qiān nián wù dào xiū xíng ， bái shù yuè suī méi yǒu zhēn zhèng tà chū nà yī bù ， dàn yě yǐ jīng shì wú xiàn jiē jìn le 。 zhǐ chà lín mén yī jiǎo 。
千年悟道修行，白漱月虽没有真正踏出那一步，但也已经是无限接近了。只差临门一脚。
"Aunt's life in this incarnation is nearing its limit. She's getting closer to my goal. I just wonder, what method will Aunt use to break through?"
ruò shì bái shù yuè yuàn yì ， yì huò zhě shuō néng gòu cóng dào wǎng hé xīn zhèn yā zhōng tiào tuō chū lái ， chù jí shān hǎi shén lì 。 jìng zhí dēng lín zhēn xiān zhī jìng ， duì tā lái shuō ， jué fēi nàn shì 。
若是白漱月愿意，亦或者说能够从道网核心镇压中跳脱出来，触及山海神力。径直登临真仙之境，对她来说，绝非难事。
"Haha..."
dāng rán ， méi yǒu shèng zhě bì yòu ， zhèng xiān zhī hòu hái néng huó duō jiǔ 、 jiù bù hǎo shuō le 。
当然，没有圣者庇佑，证仙之后还能活多久、就不好说了。
Li Fan smiled, his gaze deep and profound.
suī wú rén bì yòu bái shù yuè ， dàn bái shù yuè kě zì bì yòu páng rén 。
虽无人庇佑白漱月，但白漱月可自庇佑旁人。
Standing still, lost in thought for a long time before finally muttering,
tā jiāng zhè xiē nián shān hǎi gǎn wù ， jìn shù gōng kāi 。
她将这些年山海感悟，尽数公开。
"Truly!"
fán shuò xīng hǎi nèi xiū shì ， jiē kě guān mó xué xí 。
凡朔星海内修士，皆可观摩学习。
Another cycle of the Sage Creation Plan began.
zhè shì shàng ， yǒng yuǎn bù quē fá tiān cái 。 yóu qí shì ， dàng tiān cái de dìng yì shì yǒu jī huì xiū chéng zhēn xiān de qíng kuàng xià 。 bái shù yuè gōng kāi shān hǎi gǎn wù ， bù guò sān nián duō nián 。
这世上，永远不缺乏天才。尤其是，当天才的定义是有机会修成真仙的情况下。白漱月公开山海感悟，不过三年多年。
When White Dew woke up, she looked around in confusion. It took her a while to realize that she had reincarnated back to the very beginning.
shuò xīng hǎi zhōng ， lüè yǒu xiǎo chéng zhě ， yǐ jīng bù xià wàn yú ！
朔星海中，略有小成者，已经不下万余！
The layout of the room was both familiar and unfamiliar.
suǒ wèi de xiǎo chéng ， jiǎn ér yán zhī ， jiù shì zhǐ píng jiè zì jǐ de lì liàng 、 biàn néng gòu chù mō dào shān hǎi zhī lì de biān jiè 。 dàn què yīn wèi quē shǎo bì yòu yǔ zhǐ yǐn ， shǐ zhōng wú fǎ huà shān hǎi shén lì wèi jǐ yòng ， bù jù bèi zhēn xiān de quán néng 。
所谓的小成，简而言之，就是只凭借自己的力量、便能够触摸到山海之力的边界。但却因为缺少庇佑与指引，始终无法化山海神力为己用，不具备真仙的权能。
A sudden impulse surged within her, prompting her to rush to Li Fan's room.
huò kě yòng bàn xiān lái chēng zhī 。
或可用半仙来称之。
She embraced him tightly as he stood there with a look of shock on his face.
rán ér ， zhè wàn yú míng bàn xiān ， zài dào wǎng yóu qí shì chéng dào suǒ liú de hēi shān bái shuǐ de jiā chí xià ， què kě zàn shí shēng huá dào wěi zhēn xiān jìng jiè 。
然而，这万余名半仙，在道网尤其是承道所留的黑山白水的加持下，却可暂时升华到伪真仙境界。
"Uncle, what's wrong?" Li Fan asked cautiously.
rú guǒ shuō xún cháng zhēn xiān ， zì jǐ dān dú biàn kě qīng sōng diào yòng wú xiàn zhī lì de huà 。 nà me zhè xiē wěi xiān ， wǎng wǎng xū yào shí rén yī zǔ 、 hù bāng hù zhù ， cái néng miǎn qiǎng cāo zòng wú xiàn zhī lì 。
如果说寻常真仙，自己单独便可轻松调用无限之力的话。那么这些伪仙，往往需要十人一组、互帮互助，才能勉强操纵无限之力。
White Dew only cried silently without speaking.
dàn bì jìng ， yǐ jīng zhēn zhèng zhān rǎn le yí gè “ xiān ” zì ！
但毕竟，已经真正沾染了一个“仙”字！
After some time, she finally let go and said with difficulty,
wàn xiān zhèn kāi qǐ xià ， wǎn ruò yǒu qiān yú míng zhēn xiān lín lì zuò zhèn 。
万仙阵开启下，宛若有千余名真仙林立坐镇。
"It's nothing. Aunt is just feeling a bit tired."
shuò xīng hǎi dào wǎng yě lái dào le tā qián suǒ wèi yǒu de jiān gù xíng tài 。
朔星海道网也来到了它前所未有的坚固形态。
Li Fan was concerned and asked, "Are you worried that the village chief will seize our family's property? Don't worry, I'll risk my life to stop him!"
dàn ……
但……
Seeing Li Fan's earnest expression, White Dew finally laughed happily.
dāng hēi àn bǐ duān ， nà kě bù de dào yān dà cháo zhēn zhèng xí lái shí 。
当黑暗彼端，那可怖的道湮大潮真正袭来时。
Then she paused in thought.
kàn shì láo bù kě pò de dào wǎng ， shà shí jiān yě zhǐ rú yī zhāng dān bó de bái zhǐ ， bèi chuī dé sà sà zuò xiǎng 、 qī líng bā luò ！
看似牢不可破的道网，霎时间也只如一张单薄的白纸，被吹得飒飒作响、七零八落！
She had reincarnated so many times. Originally, she had tried her best but still couldn't solve the problem. Now it seemed like a joke.
wēng wēng wēng ！
嗡嗡嗡！
But...
bái shù yuè qīn yǎn mù dǔ le dà bàn dào xián ， zài dào yān xiōng hěn de pāi dǎ zhōng ， yān xiāo yún sàn 。
白漱月亲眼目睹了大半道弦，在道湮凶狠的拍打中，烟消云散。
What was the meaning of this cycle of rebirths?
ér shèng yú dào xián ， yě dà duō wān qū dào le jí xiàn ， sì hū suí shí dū huì chè dǐ bēng jiě kāi lái ， méi yú dào yān zhī zhōng 。
而剩余道弦，也大多弯曲到了极限，似乎随时都会彻底崩解开来，没于道湮之中。
What did she keep doing each time?
yī niàn sǎo guò ， bái shù yuè biàn gū chū le shuò xīng hǎi shēng líng sǔn shī shù liàng 。
一念扫过，白漱月便估出了朔星海生灵损失数量。
When would the end come?
jìn hū jiǔ chéng shēng líng ， jiù cǐ xiāo shī 。
近乎九成生灵，就此消失。
White Dew almost forgot about her original goal.
However, the miracle did not come.
Surviving in the torrent of Dao Immersion seemed to have exhausted their luck.
In the end, the denizens of the Dao Network were left to drift alone and despondently towards their doom.
Before the end came, the organization of the Dao Network had already crumbled into chaos. Despair led to madness; self-inflicted slaughter...
Even White Dew herself found it hard to control the chaotic situation.
She tried her last desperate attempt by seeking help from the Dao Master, but even as the mountains and rivers vanished in the torrent of Dao Immersion, there was no response.
"Too vast is the Sea and Mountains, too deep is the Dao Immersion."
"There's no hope left."
Silently, the remnants of the Dao Network on White Dew perished after another thirty-six years.
Only White Dew and the Boundless Wall survived under the protection of the Everlasting Cloak.
"Why am I so unlucky? Just when I haven't transformed yet, I encounter the Dao Immersion again?"
"Such a wretched fate!" The Boundless Wall lamented helplessly.
"You're still thinking about your opportunities? You can barely keep yourself alive." White Dew said with a bitter smile.
