“ suī yǒu wú děng bǎo wù hù shēn ， què yě bù kě chěng qiáng 。 ruò shì bù kě wèi ……”
“虽有吾等宝物护身，却也不可逞强。若事不可为……”
"Even though you have the treasures of the Three Sages, I still have the Power of All Beings Rod. No taboo."
“ hái shì yǐ zì shēn ān quán wèi zhòng 。 yǒu zhēn líng guàn zhù zài ， biàn yì wèi zhe wú xiàn kě néng 。 zòng shǐ shān hǎi bù kě fù lián ， yě wèi bì méi yǒu lì wǎn kuáng lán zhī fǎ 。”
“还是以自身安全为重。有真灵灌注在，便意味着无限可能。纵使山海不可复联，也未必没有力挽狂澜之法。”
With this thought, he shook his head and muttered, "No taboo." He repeated these four words several times in his mind, feeling a surge of power.
sān shèng dāng miàn ， què shì shuō chū le gēn bǐ àn shí jié rán bù tóng de yī fān huà 。
三圣当面，却是说出了跟彼岸时截然不同的一番话。
He then swung the Power of All Beings Rod at the direction where Duan Chen was located without aiming specifically. The rod seemed to have its own will as it struck with unerring accuracy.
“ qiè jì ， jiàng lín qián fāng shān hǎi hòu ， shéi dōu bù kě qīn xìn 。 nǎ pà shì shú xī zhī rén 。”
“切记，降临前方山海后，谁都不可亲信。哪怕是熟悉之人。”
The sound echoed through the vast expanse of the sea of mountains and rivers. The other sages, who had been pressing him fiercely, suddenly found themselves in a difficult position.
“ zuì zhōng mù dì zhǐ yǒu yí gè ， nà jiù shì yú dào yān sì nüè zhōng ， bǎo zhù shān hǎi 。 zhì yú qí tā ……”
“最终目的只有一个，那就是于道湮肆虐中，保住山海。至于其他……”
"Power of All Beings Rod... Haha."
“ bǎi wú jìn jì ， biàn yí xíng shì 。”
“百无禁忌，便宜行事。”
Guisi's expression twisted into a cruel smile as he said, "Even though you have the treasures of the Three Sages, I still have the Power of All Beings Rod. No taboo."
fǎng fú kàn dào le qián duàn shān hǎi de hùn luàn ， lián shān sān shèng shí fēn zhèng zhòng de jiāo dài dào 。
仿佛看到了前段山海的混乱，连山三圣十分郑重的交代道。
The rod seemed to gain some kind of momentum and power, striking out at the sages with an unstoppable force.
yě bù děng lǐ fán huí dá ， sān gǔ lì liàng biàn lǒng zhào qí shēn qū 。
也不等李凡回答，三股力量便笼罩其身躯。
"Guys, listen up! This is not a game anymore!" Li Fan shouted, his voice filled with determination as he faced the combined might of the sages.
qiáng xíng pò kāi xiōng yǒng dào yān làng cháo ， cháo zhe xū jiè zhōng jí jí kě wēi de shān hǎi jī shè ér qù 。
强行破开汹涌道湮浪潮，朝着虚界中岌岌可危的山海激射而去。
He knew that if he could not resist this distortion, he would be like a puppet controlled by strings. He had to fight back and return to his original path.
xū jiè de fǎn yìng yě chū rén yì liào de jī liè ， hěn kuài jiù jiāng lǐ fán pò làng zào chéng de tōng dào chè dǐ fǎn zhàn huí lái 。 shì yào chè dǐ ná xià qián fāng shān hǎi bān ， dài biǎo lǐ fán de wēi ruò guāng yǐng zhǐ chí xù le jǐ shùn ， jiù yān mò zài wú jìn de hēi àn zhī zhōng 。
虚界的反应也出人意料的激烈，很快就将李凡破浪造成的通道彻底反占回来。誓要彻底拿下前方山海般，代表李凡的微弱光影只持续了几瞬，就淹没在无尽的黑暗之中。
The Power of All Beings Rod and the Return-to-Sea Spade began to lose control. The signs of their instability became more pronounced as Li Fan poured most of his willpower into resisting the Guisui's influence.
ér sān shèng shòu dào xū jiè chōng jī ， shēn yǐng yě kòng zhì bú zhù de huàng dòng le xiē xǔ 。
而三圣受到虚界冲击，身影也控制不住的晃动了些许。
"Self-determined life..." Li Fan gritted his teeth, struggling against the twisted thoughts in his mind.
“ wú děng yě kāi shǐ zǎo zuò zhǔn bèi ba 。”
“吾等也开始早做准备吧。”
Suddenly, a stone rod that had been hanging behind him for so long began to move. "Since the Three Sages have fallen, we can now determine our own fates. Why do you still...?"
wēi é shēn yǐng ， dǒu rán bào zhǎng ， jiāng shēn biān hēi àn bī tuì 。
巍峨身影，陡然暴涨，将身边黑暗逼退。
Guisi's words were cut off by a sudden grunt as he was struck from behind. A series of dull thuds followed, and Li Fan felt the pressure on him suddenly lessen.
sān shèng lián mián rú shān ， yìng zhào xū jiè wàn gǔ 。
三圣连绵如山，映照虚界万古。
The stone rod reappeared in front of him, its surface stained with blood. "Power of All Beings Rod... Haha."
……
……
Guisi's expression twisted into a cruel smile. He stopped attacking but did not retreat. Instead, he stared intently at Li Fan.
zòng shǐ yǒu sān shèng chū shǒu sòng le yī chéng ， zài xū jiè fǎn shì xià qiáng xíng héng dù xū jiè de zī wèi ， yě shì jí bù hǎo shòu de 。
纵使有三圣出手送了一程，在虚界反噬下强行横渡虚界的滋味，也是极不好受的。
The other sages also remained vigilant.
fǎng fú yǒu wàn qiān bǐng gāng dāo ， yú zì shēn cún zài gēn jī shàng bù duàn xuē kǎn ， měi yī xià dōu jī hū yào pò suì dào jī 。
仿佛有万千柄钢刀，于自身存在根基上不断削砍，每一下都几乎要破碎道基。
"Self-determined life," Li Fan tightly gripped the Power of All Beings Rod and recalled Guisui's words. He realized that something had changed within him as well.
ruò fēi lǐ fán yú shān hǎi wú jiè qián wù dào zhòu huí ， liú xià dú shǔ zì shēn yìn jì 。
若非李凡于山海无界前悟道宙廻，留下独属自身印记。
"The nature of the sages has drastically altered."
ruò fēi lǐ fán shēn jù wú xiàn líng xìng ， wán quán bù jù xū jiè qīn xuē 。
若非李凡身具无限灵性，完全不惧虚界侵削。
"The special instructions from the Three Sages before their departure."
kǒng pà tā xiàn zài jiù yǐ jīng shì shēn shòu zhòng chuāng le 。
恐怕他现在就已经是身受重创了。
"And..."
“ hē hē ……”
“呵呵……”
"Tieji, Guisui, Duan Chen..."
shēn xíng zhōng yú wěn dìng xià lái ， lǐ fán qīng ké le shēng ， píng fù qì xuè 。
身形终于稳定下来，李凡轻咳了声，平复气血。
"Perhaps these so-called sages were not as benevolent as they appeared."
sī háo méi yǒu zài yì zhōu zāo yīn wèi tā de zhuàng jī ， ér zhī lí pò suì de shù shí tiáo kě néng xìng 。
丝毫没有在意周遭因为他的撞击，而支离破碎的数十条可能性。
"They were likely subdued by the Three Sages and transformed through the璇玑 ringfor a long time. This is why they can now act in unison to save the world together."
fǎn zhèng cǐ chù shān hǎi ， fàng yǎn wàng qù ， yǐ rán dào chù shì yī piàn shān hǎi pò suì 、 diāo líng pò bài de chǎng jǐng le ！
反正此处山海，放眼望去，已然到处是一片山海破碎、凋零破败的场景了！
"Everything was fine as long as the Three Sages were alive, but with their demise, the sages have returned to their true nature..."
jiàng lín de shùn jiān ， lǐ fán biàn chá jué dào le zhè lǐ de bù tóng xún cháng de qì xī 。
降临的瞬间，李凡便察觉到了这里的不同寻常的气息。
The malice of the sages surrounded Li Fan, but he remained unfazed by it. He felt a renewed sense of determination.
hùn luàn ， fēng kuáng ， xiē sī dǐ lǐ 。
混乱，疯狂，歇斯底里。
"You may be many, but I still have the treasures of the Three Sages," Li Fan said as he shook the Power of All Beings Rod, his eyes glowing with danger.
shèn zhì jiù lián shān hǎi běn shēn ， dōu yīn wèi sān shèng de shì qù ， ér fā shēng le mò míng de biàn huà 。
甚至就连山海本身，都因为三圣的逝去，而发生了莫名的变化。
"No taboo."
“ lóu yǐ shàng qiě tōu shēng ， hé kuàng shān hǎi hū 。”
“蝼蚁尚且偷生，何况山海乎。”
He repeated these words several times and then swung the rod at Duan Chen without aiming. The rod struck with unerring accuracy, ignoring time and space.
“ jí jiāng bèi xū jiè tūn mò ， zì huì xiǎn huà chū zhǒng zhǒng niǔ qū yì xiàng 。”
“即将被虚界吞没，自会显化出种种扭曲异象。”
"Everyone is under my control."
lǐ fán wēi wēi zhòu méi ， jiāng ěr biān chuán lái de wǎn ruò guǐ kū láng háo de shān hǎi hū xiào gěi bǐng chú 。
李凡微微皱眉，将耳边传来的宛若鬼哭狼嚎的山海呼啸给摒除。
Another dull thud echoed through the air as Li Fan felt the force of the strike. He understood why the Power of All Beings Rod was called so.
tā yě céng jiàn guò shān hǎi mò shì 。
他也曾见过山海末世。
He swung the rod at the sages, hitting their heads repeatedly without harming them fatally. However, the sages were not easily defeated.
bù guò nà què shì shí guāng zhī mò de chuí mù zhī jì 。
不过那却是时光之末的垂暮之际。
Despite his temporary advantage from the treasures, they worked together to counteract each blow and disrupt Li Fan's actions. His thoughts and movements began to lose control.
ér xiàn zài ， shān hǎi hái suàn miǎn qiǎng chù zài zhōng nián shí qī 。
而现在，山海还算勉强处在中年时期。
Just as he was about to return to his original path, a voice echoed in his mind, "Shouqigong, if you do not help me now, the sea of mountains may never recover!"
gù ér shān hǎi lín sǐ qián de fèn lì yī bó ， yě shū wèi kě bù 。
故而山海临死前的奋力一搏，也殊为可怖。
"Ah..."
shān hǎi wú jìn kě néng xìng zhōng yī qiè shēng líng ， jiē shì yuán zì shān hǎi 。 rú jīn shān hǎi jiāng qīng ， zhēng zhá qiú shēng zhī xià ， shān hǎi biàn yào jiāng yī qiè shōu huí 。
山海无尽可能性中一切生灵，皆是源自山海。如今山海将倾，挣扎求生之下，山海便要将一切收回。
A sigh came from within the sea of mountains, followed by a quiet whisper. Li Fan felt himself being enveloped and safely escorted out of the sages' encirclement.
yǐ qiú gǒu yán cán chuǎn gèng duō shí kè 。
以求苟延残喘更多时刻。
The sages watched him leave with mixed emotions, knowing that their path was now uncertain.
"Even though you have the treasures of the Three Sages, I still have the Power of All Beings Rod. No taboo."
With this thought, he shook his head and muttered, "No taboo." He repeated these four words several times in his mind, feeling a surge of power.
