tài yì shèng zhě suǒ fàng chū mìng shéng de duì dí shǒu duàn ， bìng fēi shì xún cháng shéng suǒ bān suǒ fù 。 ér shì yǒu wàn qiān tiáo gèng wéi xì xiǎo de hēi sè sī xiàn ， cóng qí zhōng fēng yōng ér chū 。
太易圣者所放出命绳的对敌手段，并非似寻常绳索般锁缚。而是有万千条更为细小的黑色丝线，从其中蜂拥而出。
The True and False Paths, the Mountains and Seas...
rú tóng yī shuāng wú xíng qiǎo shǒu xùn sù biān zhī ， hěn kuài ， yí gè yòng má shéng biān zhī ér chéng de “ shǒu qiū gōng ”， jiù chū xiàn chǎng zhōng 。
如同一双无形巧手迅速编织，很快，一个用麻绳编织而成的“守丘公”，就出现场中。
In the vast expanse of the Virtual Realm, the situation changed dramatically in an instant. The countless lines representing endless possibilities of conflict suddenly froze. The surging tide of Daoianm was strangely still.
shéng ǒu dàn shēng chà nà ， jiù hǎo sì yǒu mò míng de cún zài ， jiāng tā gēn shǒu qiū gōng ， tōng guò mǒu zhǒng fāng shì ， suǒ dìng yī tǐ 。
绳偶诞生刹那，就好似有莫名的存在，将它跟守丘公，通过某种方式，锁定一体。
Suddenly, a series of thunderous sounds echoed from various parts of the Virtual Realm. The boundless Daoianm surged like a boiling sea, gradually enveloping the six saints and Shouqiu Public. Amidst the waves of Daoianm, countless figures were forming—mostly resembling the three saints, but there were also other saintly beings.
gēn lìng yí gè zì jǐ duì shì bān ， shǒu qiū hàn máo zhí lì ， běn néng gǎn shòu dào yī gǔ zhì mìng wēi jī 。
跟另一个自己对视般，守丘汗毛直立，本能感受到一股致命危机。
The three treasures—Shell of the Mountains, Bone of the Ancestral Beings, and Rope of Fate—were now focused on Shouqiu Public. The six saints stopped their mutual combat and turned to look at him with a calm expression.
ér jiē xià lái fā shēng zhī shì ， yě hěn kuài zhèng míng liǎo shǒu qiū xīn zhōng de yù gǎn 。
而接下来发生之事，也很快证明了守丘心中的预感。
"True, False, Great Dao..." the avatar of the Mountain Saint said slowly, his eyes revealing madness and greed that did not fit his saintly identity. The avatars of the other two saints were similarly crazed.
xū jiè zhōng ， fǎng fú yī zhèn qīng fēng fú guò 。
虚界中，仿佛一阵清风拂过。
"We were already dead, but if we could grasp the True and False Great Dao..."
gòu chéng shéng ǒu shǒu qiū gōng de qí zhōng yī dào xì xiàn ， hū de cóng tǐ nèi piāo chū ， zhuǎn shùn jiù bèi zhōu zāo dào yān gěi tūn mò 。
构成绳偶守丘公的其中一道细线，忽的从体内飘出，转瞬就被周遭道湮给吞没。
"What is life? What is death?"
ér xiāng yìng de ……
而相应的……
The form of the three saints twisted and writhed as they fought against their virtual mission. They would not rest until they had grasped the true and false paths once more.
shǒu qiū yě zhēn de chá jué dào le ， zì jǐ de yī bù fèn ， bèi píng kōng chōu qù 、 xiāo sàn bú jiàn ！
守丘也真的察觉到了，自己的一部分，被凭空抽去、消散不见！
Even though the three saints did not show such nakedness, their expressions were equally complex.
tóu dǐng guī ké zhèn yā ， méi xīn zǔ gǔ xī fù 。
头顶龟壳镇压，眉心祖骨吸附。
"Who could have thought that the True and False Great Dao are right here with us."
běn jiù chù zài wēi jí zhī zhōng de shǒu qiū gōng ， yīn wèi shí lì de shùn jiān xià jiàng ， jìng dì yù fā bù miào qǐ lái 。
本就处在危急之中的守丘公，因为实力的瞬间下降，境地愈发不妙起来。
"Shouqiu Public truly hid them well!"
zòng shǐ tóu lú yī jiù gāo áng ， dàn shì zhěng gè shēn qū yǐ rán bèi yìng shēng shēng yā ǎi le yī jié 。
纵使头颅依旧高昂，但是整个身躯已然被硬生生压矮了一截。
Shouqiu Public merely smiled without speaking. The Mountain Saint then frowned and asked, "If you've been hiding for so long, why did you suddenly reveal yourself?"
sī sī xuè shuǐ shèn yǒng ér chū ， zài liú lù tǐ wài de shùn jiān ， jiù bèi fù shēn zǔ gǔ suǒ xī shōu 。 bái gǔ huà yuè lái yuè míng xiǎn ， cóng wài biǎo kàn qù ， jī hū rú tóng zhěng gè bā lā zài shǒu qiū gōu lóu de shēn qū shàng 。
丝丝血水渗涌而出，在流露体外的瞬间，就被附身祖骨所吸收。白骨化越来越明显，从外表看去，几乎如同整个扒拉在守丘佝偻的身躯上。
Before he could delve deeper, Shouqiu interrupted him.
duàn shéng chōu sī ， mìng xuán yī xiàn ！
断绳抽丝，命悬一线！
"You were mistaken, Mountain Saint."
mìng shéng de chōu qǔ ， réng zài jì xù 。
命绳的抽取，仍在继续。
"The True and False paths are always present, never hidden or revealed."
shǒu qiū yù fā qīng xī de gǎn shòu dào ， zì jǐ de shēng mìng zhèng zài jí sù liú shì 。
守丘愈发清晰的感受到，自己的生命正在急速流逝。
"Even if I told you, it would not matter. One moment of true awareness, and the knowledge is lost again."
suǒ gǎn wù zhí zhǎng cháng shēng dà dào ， zài zhì mìng wēi jī xià ， yě zhàn fàng chū le qián suǒ wèi yǒu de cuǐ càn lǜ máng 。
所感悟执掌长生大道，在致命危机下，也绽放出了前所未有的璀璨绿芒。
"It's because I couldn't bear to see you all die for my sake."
jǐn kě néng de xiū fù zhe shǒu qiū shāng shì 。
尽可能的修复着守丘伤势。
"With the True and False Great Dao upon me, naturally, I must..."
ruò zhǐ yǒu guī ké 、 zǔ gǔ de bī pò ， shǒu qiū huò xǔ hái néng píng jiè cháng shēng dà dào tè xìng ， zài jiān chí yī duàn shí jiān 。 dàn mìng shéng de xiāo hào ， nǎi shì zhí jiē chōu qǔ běn yuán 。
若只有龟壳、祖骨的逼迫，守丘或许还能凭借长生大道特性，再坚持一段时间。但命绳的消耗，乃是直接抽取本源。
"Do what comes from the heart!"
suí zhe miàn qián shéng ǒu shǒu qiū de yuè fā xiāo tiáo ， shǒu qiū gōng de shēng mìng shí zhì ， yě yuè lái yuè xī bó 。
随着面前绳偶守丘的越发萧条，守丘公的生命实质，也越来越稀薄。
Shouqiu Public seemed to be talking about something that had nothing to do with him. He looked at the six saints' covetous eyes as if they were invisible.
zòng shǐ cháng shēng zhī lì bù duàn zī bǔ ， dàn yě zhǐ néng chōng yíng tǐ qū 。
纵使长生之力不断滋补，但也只能充盈体躯。
"True and False paths, can they return to their original stars in a single thought?"
què wú fǎ zǔ zhǐ shēng mìng shàng xiàn de xuē jiǎn 。
却无法阻止生命上限的削减。
"These mere creations of the Virtual Realm..."
“ zhè mìng shéng de shǒu duàn ， jìng yǐn yǐn gēn 【 zhēn yì jiǎ 】 de shén tōng xiāng sì ！”
“这命绳的手段，竟隐隐跟【真亦假】的神通相似！”
"What difference does it make even if there are countless more?"
“ dàn bìng fēi shì cóng zhēn jiǎ dà dào shàng qù fǒu dìng wǒ de cún zài ， ér shì yǐ mǒu cè zhī lì ， chōu qù shēng mìng shí zhì ……”
“但并非是从真假大道上去否定我的存在，而是以某测之力，抽去生命实质……”
Shouqiu Public said calmly before closing his eyes. "Just used to validate my insights!"
shēng mìng rú liè fēng zhōng zhú huǒ ， jí jiāng xiāo wáng 。
生命如烈风中烛火，即将消亡。
He seemed to have returned to the time when he sat on the mountain and watched the sea, with no sorrow or joy.
shǒu qiū xīn zhōng què shì wú bēi wú xǐ ， zhuā jǐn shēng mìng zuì hòu yí kè ， gǎn wù guī ké 、 zǔ gǔ 、 mìng shéng cǐ sān wù 。
守丘心中却是无悲无喜，抓紧生命最后一刻，感悟龟壳、祖骨、命绳此三物。
With his mind at peace, Shouqiu reflected everything that had happened. The True and False forces descended silently as his thoughts guided them.
yǐ jí sī suǒ yìng duì zhī dào 。
以及思索应对之道。
"I think, therefore I am not."
shèn zhì gān cuì zhǔ dòng fàng qì le dǐ kàng ， yǐ zì shēn gèng kuài lún xiàn wèi dài jià ， huàn qǔ bù tóng yìng duì fāng fǎ de cháng shì 。
甚至干脆主动放弃了抵抗，以自身更快沦陷为代价，换取不同应对方法的尝试。
Shouqiu's voice echoed in the Virtual Realm like a gentle breeze.
“ guī ké suī xiǎo qiě báo ， què fǎng fú dài biǎo liǎo wú yín shàng fāng shān 。”
“龟壳虽小且薄，却仿佛代表了无垠上方山。”
It seemed harmless to all, but...
“ zhū shèng shuō shì shēn yǔ shān hǎi qí ， dàn wéi yǒu shān hǎi zhēn de héng yā qí shēn ， fāng néng gǎn shòu dào shān hǎi zhī zhòng 。”
“诸圣说是身与山海齐，但唯有山海真的横压其身，方能感受到山海之重。”
A mighty wave was forced down by an invisible hand, calming it instantly. Many of the forming figures dissipated. The three closest avatars of the Virtual Realm turned transparent until they vanished with the passing breeze.
“ jí biàn sān shèng jìng jiè ， kǒng pà yě wèi bì néng yìng kàng 。”
“即便三圣境界，恐怕也未必能硬抗。”
Only then did the three saints realize their peril, showing signs of fear on their faces.
