guāng míng hū rán xiāo shī ， wú jìn de hēi àn ， jiāng shēng miè zhī jiè bāo guǒ 。
光明忽然消失，无尽的黑暗，将生灭之界包裹。
The light suddenly flickered, and a wave of inexplicable emotions surged through Xu Fushi. A single tear rolled down his cheek, leaving him utterly shocked. He was filled with confusion: "What is this? My mind instinctively feels sorrow, and I can't stop crying."
cóng guǐ jué de shēn yuān lǐ ， fǎng fú shēn chū wú shù yū ní bān de chù shǒu ， jiāng zǐ yī jù dà shuāng shǒu gěi jǐn jǐn jiū chán 。
从诡谲的深渊里，仿佛伸出无数淤泥般的触手，将紫衣巨大双手给紧紧纠缠。
He realized it must be an anomaly caused by the death of close relatives. But he had already lost all his kin in the collapse of the仙界 centuries ago. The question lingered unanswered.
mián yán qiān wàn lǐ de huǒ shāo yún ， hǎo sì yī bǐng lì jiàn ， zhǎn xiàng shēn yuān zhī wài 。 zǐ yī de jīng nù shēng yī shǎn ér guò ， suí hòu jiù bèi wú zhǐ jìng de jù liè bào zhà shēng gài zhù 。
绵延千万里的火烧云，好似一柄利剑，斩向深渊之外。紫衣的惊怒声一闪而过，随后就被无止境的剧烈爆炸声盖住。
Xu Fushi felt a deep sense of mystery. He wanted to investigate further but lacked the means. Eventually, he buried this doubt deep within himself.
……
……
Years passed as Xu Fushi continued his efforts to depict the 海道. It seemed just one small step away from completion, yet that final step was like an insurmountable chasm.
tóng jié wǔ zūn chū shǒu ， jiāng bǐ àn zǐ yī lán xià de tóng shí 。
同劫五尊出手，将彼岸紫衣拦下的同时。
The changes in the river of possibilities and the golden gem hanging above them were significant. The gem no longer appeared entirely illusory; it now existed in a state between reality and illusion. Xu Fushi could only discern its true nature by carefully examining each facet, as even he struggled to distinguish it from the real 海道.
zhěng gè shēng miè zhī jiè yě zài fā shēng zhe mò míng de biàn huà 。
整个生灭之界也在发生着莫名的变化。
Xu Fushi's mind drifted back to his companions who had long since forgotten him. "They live freely without me, almost like I don't exist anymore."
qiān wàn tiáo cháng hé bìng liú ， fǎng fú bèi shén me xī yǐn zhe ， dào juǎn ér qǐ 、 shǒu wěi shōu shù 。 huà zuò yī quān quān bì hé zhī yuán 。
千万条长河并流，仿佛被什么吸引着，倒卷而起、首尾收束。化作一圈圈闭合之圆。
On this day, Xu Fushi suddenly felt a strange disturbance in his depiction process. His body trembled with excitement as he realized something profound.
qǐng kè jiān biàn biān zhī chéng le yī méi sàn fà zhe chún jìng huáng sè guāng máng de bǎo shí ！
顷刻间便编织成了一枚散发着纯净黄色光芒的宝石！
"Exclude all lines that do not fit the harmony of the 海道."
mǒu zhǒng xuán qí yùn lǜ de yǎn yìng xià ， wài jiè dāo bīng xiāng jiāo zhī shēng ， màn màn biàn dé wēi ruò 。 bā dào shēn yǐng gǒng wèi zhe zhōng yāng huáng bǎo shí ， suī rán kàn shì wēi rán bù dòng 。
某种玄奇韵律的掩映下，外界刀兵相交之声，慢慢变得微弱。八道身影拱卫着中央黄宝石，虽然看似巍然不动。
The true form of the 海道 was finally revealed, just like countless beings in the river of possibilities. Xu Fushi looked up at the golden gem, and a series of figures began to materialize around it—none other than the尊者 who had long been absent.
dàn shí zé guāng yǐng shǎn shuò jiān ， què yǐ jīng yuè guò le qiān shān wàn hǎi ！
但实则光影闪烁间，却已经越过了千山万海！
Only five remained: the 同劫五尊, with 铭道仙 no longer present. Under the gaze of all, the golden gem began to disintegrate, as if countless lines were emerging from its core and forming a path that should not exist in the 海道.
“ zàn shí shuǎi diào tā men de zhuī zōng le 。 bù guò ， zòng shǐ hái néng zài dù zhuǎn yí 、 yě zhōng jiū bìng fēi cháng jiǔ zhī jì 。” míng dào xiān yǔ qì pǒ wèi chén zhòng 。
“暂时甩掉他们的追踪了。不过，纵使还能再度转移、也终究并非长久之际。”铭道仙语气颇为沉重。
The hidden 海道 was finally revealed after centuries of effort. A crack appeared as the barrier between worlds shattered. Xu Fushi could see a majestic ring standing before him, seemingly distant yet close enough to reach out and touch.
“ méi xiǎng dào ， shān hǎi jiān jū rán yòu yǒu lìng wài dà dào xiàn shēn 。 shí zài shì yì liào zhī wài 。 zhì shǐ wǒ děng tí qián bào lù ……”
“没想到，山海间居然又有另外大道现身。实在是意料之外。致使我等提前暴露……”
But now, all eyes were fixed on the emerging 海道. Within the white circle, light flickered, and the 归墟诸圣 revealed their solemn faces. A figure in black robes appeared, wearing a crown, sitting alone but exuding an oppressive presence that rivaled the saints.
“ huà zuò bǐ duì ， yǐ jīng kuài yào wán chéng 。 jué bù kě zhōng tú ér fèi 。 ruò shí zài wēi jí ， wǒ biàn kōng xiǎng gòu zhù shēng miè zhī jiè ， zhǔ dòng xiàn shēn yòu dí 。 wèi nǐ men zhēng qǔ shí jiān 。” bái fà qīng nián shén qíng sù rán dào 。
“画作比对，已经快要完成。绝不可中途而废。若实在危急，我便空想构筑生灭之界，主动现身诱敌。为你们争取时间。”白发青年神情肃然道。
The pressure of the saints was like a storm, though they had tried to contain it. Most of the beings fainted upon seeing them, while those who remained conscious focused intently on the emerging 海道.
qí tā jǐ rén jìng yě méi yǒu fǎn duì ：“ fàng xīn ， wú děng bú huì wàng jì nǐ de gòng xiàn 。”
其他几人竟也没有反对：“放心，吾等不会忘记你的贡献。”
As if from nothingness, the 海道 was being depicted and then hidden once more within the 海道 itself.
bái fà qīng nián xiào zhe yáo tóu ：“ wǒ běn jiù shì yǐ sǐ zhī rén ， cóng kōng xiǎng zhōng chóng shēng 、 yòu duō le yī duàn jīng lì ， yǐ jīng zhī zú le 。 ruò néng zhù dé zhū wèi dà dào gōng chéng ， yě suàn shì bù wǎng cǐ shēng 。”
白发青年笑着摇头：“我本就是已死之人，从空想中重生、又多了一段经历，已经知足了。若能助得诸位大道功成，也算是不枉此生。”
Xu Fushi felt a premonition: whether the 海道 could be controlled by any of the present beings would depend on this moment.
yī zhèn chén mò zhī hòu ， bā dào shēn yǐng shì xiàn zài dù jù jiāo yú chǎng zhōng de huáng bǎo shí shēn shàng 。
一阵沉默之后，八道身影视线再度聚焦于场中的黄宝石身上。
"Even if it intends to hide..."
dào le ān quán zhī dì ， gòu chéng bǎo shí de nà yī quān quān xiàn tiáo chóng xīn shū zhǎn ， zài dù huà zuò qiān wàn tiáo guāng yǐng bēn liú 。
到了安全之地，构成宝石的那一圈圈线条重新舒展，再度化作千万条光影奔流。
"Perhaps even a saint cannot find it."
ér guāng yǐng zhōng ， kōng xiǎng kě néng xìng zhōng de shēng líng ， zài zhè duàn shí jiān nèi fǎng fú bèi dòng jié bān 、 shī qù le shí jiān liú shì de gài niàn 。
而光影中，空想可能性中的生灵，在这段时间内仿佛被冻结般、失去了时间流逝的概念。
All held their breath, waiting for the final revelation. As the last lines of the golden gem dissipated and merged with the 海道, the 微圣帝 suddenly sneered and vanished from his throne.
duì yú wài jiè fā shēng zhǒng zhǒng biàn gù ， jù shì bù zhī 。
对于外界发生种种变故，俱是不知。
The 归墟诸圣 were taken aback by this display of arrogance.
zài dé dào le zhū wèi zūn zhě de ān quán tōng gào hòu ， mò guò duō jiǔ biàn yòu huī fù le guò wǎng de nà zhǒng rì zi 。
在得到了诸位尊者的安全通告后，没过多久便又恢复了过往的那种日子。
Despite the departure of the 微圣帝, the emergence of the 海道 continued. Soon, a sense of ancient yet newly born power permeated the area.
xīng fù yě shì qí zhōng zhī yī 。
兴复也是其中之一。
"Stealing the essence of the 海道, the key to its decline."
zhǐ bù guò ， tā shí bù shí kàn xiàng shēng miè zhī jiè yǐ wài ， shén qíng wēi miào 。
只不过，他时不时看向生灭之界以外，神情微妙。
"The root of all existence, nurturing life."
“ kàn bù qīng wài jiè shān hǎi jǐng xiàng ， yīng dāng shì zūn zhě chū shǒu 、 jìn xíng fēng suǒ le 。”
“看不清外界山海景象，应当是尊者出手、进行封锁了。”
"This is the 【玄牝】之道!"
“ jiù shì bù zhī ， néng chēng jǐ shí 。”
“就是不知，能撑几时。”
The voice echoed from within the white ring, spoken by 守丘公 who controlled 长生之道.
duì yú suí shí dū huì bào lù zhè jiàn shì ， xīng fù xīn lǐ fēi dàn méi yǒu rèn hé wèi jù ， fǎn ér hái dài zhe sī sī qī dài 。
对于随时都会暴露这件事，兴复心里非但没有任何畏惧，反而还带着丝丝期待。
As the saints prepared to act, the entire expanse of the 海道 seemed to freeze. Vast clouds of white mist emerged and enveloped everything.
“ shēng miè zhī jié ， yīng gāi yuǎn méi yǒu zūn zhě xiàng wǒ miáo shù de nà me jiǎn dān 。 fǒu zé jí biàn zǐ yī lín mén ， yào zǐ xì sōu chá ， yě bù zhì yú shùn jiān wàng fēng ér táo 。 yí dìng shì ， qí nèi yǒu shén me bǐ àn zhū shèng dōu zài yì shì wù ……”
“生灭之劫，应该远没有尊者向我描述的那么简单。否则即便紫衣临门，要仔细搜查，也不至于瞬间望风而逃。一定是，其内有什么彼岸诸圣都在意事物……”
"Truly true!"
dá àn hěn míng xiǎn le 。
答案很明显了。
Xu Fushi could only faintly hear a voice from within the mist.
The light suddenly flickered, and a wave of inexplicable emotions surged through Xu Fushi. A single tear rolled down his cheek, leaving him utterly shocked. He was filled with confusion: "What is this? My mind instinctively feels sorrow, and I can't stop crying."
