jū yú lǐ fán zhī shēn zhě ， zhǐ shì lián shān shèng zhě suǒ fēn chū yī dào shén niàn 。 zì rán shì wú fǎ zhí jiē jiāng guī ké wēi yā gěi huà jiě de 。
居于李凡之身者，只是连山圣者所分出一道神念。自然是无法直接将龟壳威压给化解的。
Within Li Fan's body resided only a fragment of the Sage of Continuous Mountains' divine consciousness. Naturally, this was not enough to directly neutralize the tortoise shell's oppressive aura.
zhī suǒ yǐ chéng xiàn “ zhǐ ” tài shì ， zé shì yīn wèi cǐ shén niàn jī hū jiāng guī ké lì qì wán quán kè zhì 。
之所以呈现“止”态势，则是因为此神念几乎将龟壳戾气完全克制。
The reason for the "stop" stance was because this divine consciousness almost completely suppressed the tortoise shell's malevolent qi, causing its surging descent to momentarily halt.
shǐ qí xiōng xiōng jiàng zhī shì dùn shí wèi zhī yī zhì 。
使其汹汹降之势顿时为之一滞。
Given the vast disparity in strength between both parties, relying solely on a fragment of Continuous Mountains' divine consciousness was destined to be unsustainable for long.
yóu yú shuāng fāng lì liàng chā jù guò yú xuán shū ， guāng píng lián shān yī dào shén niàn shì zhù dìng jiān chí bù liǎo duō jiǔ de 。
由于双方力量差距过于悬殊，光凭连山一道神念是注定坚持不了多久的。
However, Li Fan quickly took over.
bù guò hěn kuài biàn yóu lǐ fán jiē rèn le 。
不过很快便由李凡接任了。
Perceiving the essence of Continuous Mountains as if he were there himself, Li Fan agreed wholeheartedly: "You're right. This damned one must die. Get rid of old things; even if your heart is filled with countless regrets, it's useless. Better to accept your fate!"
tǐ wù lián shān zhī shén ， wǎn ruò shēn lín qí jìng 。
体悟连山之神，宛若身临其境。
In an instant, Li Fan's figure seemed to merge with the divine consciousness of Continuous Mountains, and his磅礴意念 (vast intent) clashed violently with the shell's remnants!
lǐ fán shēn yǐ wéi rán ：“ shuō de bù cuò ， gāi sǐ de 、 dí què yào sǐ 。 gù qù jiù wù ， xīn zòng yǒu wàn bān bù gān yě wú yòng 。 hái shì lǎo lǎo shí shí ， jiē shòu zì shēn sù mìng ba ！”
李凡深以为然：“说的不错，该死的、的确要死。故去旧物，心纵有万般不甘也无用。还是老老实实，接受自身宿命吧！”
For a moment, Li Fan saw the past mountains and seas in the myriad patterns on the tortoise shell.
chà nà jiān ， lǐ fán shēn xíng fǎng fú yǔ lián shān zhī shén xiāng hé ， páng bó yì niàn gēn nà shān hǎi yí tuì hōng rán xiāng zhuàng ！
刹那间，李凡身形仿佛与连山之神相合，磅礴意念跟那山海遗蜕轰然相撞！
The current scene of mountains and seas was vastly different from what they were today.
huǎng hū jiān ， zài qián fāng guī ké shàng wàn qiān wén lù zhōng ， lǐ fán sì hū jiàn dào le guò qù zhī shān hǎi 。
恍惚间，在前方龟壳上万千纹路中，李凡似乎见到了过去之山海。
It wasn't the original primordial mountain and sea at the beginning of time but rather an even more ancient past. The mountain and sea during their splitting!
yú jīn shí jīn rì zhī shān hǎi jǐng xiàng ， dà bù xiāng tóng 。
于今时今日之山海景象，大不相同。
As one of the beings born from the mountains and seas, it was hard to imagine how the mountains and seas would look without divine power. But now, Li Fan could glimpse a bit.
yě bìng fēi suǒ wèi shān hǎi chū chuàng shí tài chū xiān jiè 。
也并非所谓山海初创时太初仙界。
Without the "limitless" attribute,
ér shì gèng wéi gǔ lǎo zhī guò qù 。
而是更为古老之过去。
the mountains would exhaustively rise but eventually reach an end; they would ascend to their peak only to decline afterward.
shān hǎi fēn shén shí zhī shān hǎi ！
山海分神时之山海！
The sea seemed boundless, yet it inevitably faced the fate of drying up.
zuò wéi shān hǎi suǒ yǎn huà shēng líng zhī yī ， shēn chù qí jiān hěn nán xiǎng xiàng méi yǒu dé dào shén de lì liàng de shān hǎi ， jiū jìng shì hé děng mú yàng 。 dàn xiàn zài lǐ fán què kě chū kuī yī èr 。
作为山海所衍化生灵之一，身处其间很难想象没有得到神的力量的山海，究竟是何等模样。但现在李凡却可初窥一二。
Even with its life form having become incredibly powerful, the mountains and seas still couldn't escape such limitations.
méi yǒu “ wú xiàn ” de shǔ xìng 。
没有“无限”的属性。
Thus, the mountains and seas sought to devour the divine!
shān jié jìn shēng téng 、 què zhōng yǒu jǐn shí ， dǐ zhì gāo 、 ér hòu biàn shì shèng jí ér shuāi 。
山竭尽升腾、却终有尽时，抵至高、而后便是盛极而衰。
As for the primordial deity, how it fell was not recorded in the tortoise shell. Only after splitting could the mountain and sea unhesitatingly discard their past self.
hǎi kàn shì wú biān wú yín ， dàn bì jìng nán táo kū jié zhī huò 。
海看似无边无垠，但毕竟难逃枯竭之祸。
"Once you gain divine might, your coarse past is naturally discarded like a worn-out shoe."
hǎi kū shí làn ， biàn shì shān hǎi táo bù guò de jié shù 。
海枯石烂，便是山海逃不过的劫数。
"Actually trying to counterattack and rise again?"
nǎ pà shān hǎi de shēng mìng xíng tài ， yǐ rán qiáng dà dào le bù kě sī yì de dì bù 。 yī rán táo bù guò cǐ zhǒng xiàn zhì 。
哪怕山海的生命形态，已然强大到了不可思议的地步。依然逃不过此种限制。
"Truly seeking trouble!"
yú shì ， shān hǎi yù tūn shén ！
于是，山海欲吞神！
With such thoughts, it felt as if he had rooted himself firmly. Despite the tortoise shell's overwhelming malevolent qi, Li Fan remained unmoved.
zhì yú nà wàn shì zhī xiān 、 wàn wù zhī yuán de 【 shén 】， jiū jìng shì rú hé yǔn luò de ， guī ké zhōng zì rán bù kě néng yǒu dīng diǎn jì zǎi 。
至于那万事之先、万物之源的【神】，究竟是如何陨落的，龟壳中自然不可能有丁点记载。
Of course, this was just on the spiritual level; the pressure from the mountain and sea remnants still existed.
wéi yǒu fēn shén hòu de shān hǎi ， duì guò qù de zì jǐ ， háo bù yóu yù de pāo qì 。
唯有分神后的山海，对过去的自己，毫不犹豫的抛弃。
But Li Fan had his own way to deal with it.
“ jì dé shén wēi ， guò wǎng cū bǐ chù ， zì rán qì ruò bì xǐ le 。”
“既得神威，过往粗鄙处，自然弃若敝屣了。”
Suddenly, a series of fine lines of light appeared around Li Fan's body.
“ jìng rán hái xiǎng fǎn shì zài qǐ 。”
“竟然还想反噬再起。”
Not the true or false dao, but directly using the [Zhou Hui] (Cycle) power to cleverly neutralize it.
“ zhēn shì zì tǎo méi qù ！”
“真是自讨没趣！”
---
bǐng chéng rú cǐ niàn tou ， wǎn ruò jiǎo xià shēng gēn 。 suī rán guī ké xié yǒu tāo tiān lì qì ， què wú fǎ dòng yáo lǐ fán fēn háo 。
秉承如此念头，宛若脚下生根。虽然龟壳携有滔天戾气，却无法动摇李凡分毫。
Even though the mountains and seas bore an unbearable burden on living beings, if this weight were distributed among countless reincarnations, how significant would it be?
dāng rán ， zhǐ shì jīng shén céng miàn zāo shòu de gǎn jué 。 shí jì shān hǎi yí tuì suǒ dài lái de wēi yā ， hái shì zhēn shí cún zài de 。
当然，只是精神层面遭受的感觉。实际山海遗蜕所带来的威压，还是真实存在的。
The myriad of souls only felt a slight increase in their load as they moved forward.
bù guò lǐ fán zì yǒu huà jiě zhī dào 。
不过李凡自有化解之道。
At first, the threads of the cycle bent slightly due to the sudden immense force. But as the cycle expanded infinitely, it fully bore the pressure from the mountain and sea remnants.
shū rán jiān ， yī quān yòu yī quān de xì xiàn fú guāng zài lǐ fán shēn qū biān yuán liàng qǐ 。
倏然间，一圈又一圈的细线浮光在李凡身躯边缘亮起。
Neither divine injury nor physical force could harm Li Fan.
fēi shì zhēn jiǎ dà dào ， ér shì zhí jiē yǐ 【 zhòu huí 】 lún huí zhī lì ， qiǎo miào huà jiě 。
非是真假大道，而是直接以【宙廻】轮回之力，巧妙化解。
The attacks from the tortoise shell transformed by the void realm were thus rendered useless.
shān hǎi suī shēng líng jué nán chéng shòu zhī zhòng ， dàn ruò fēn tān zhì wú jìn lún huí zhōng wú jìn zhòng shēng ， zé yòu rú hé ？
山海虽生灵绝难承受之重，但若分摊至无尽轮回中无尽众生，则又如何？
Though seemingly casual, Li Fan had already pushed his understanding of [Zhou Hui] to its limits. With Continuous Mountains' guidance, he successfully ignored the innate ferocity's influence on a spiritual level.
zhòng shēng zhǐ jué ， lüè wēi fù zhòng qián xíng bà le 。
众生只觉，略微负重前行罢了。
Otherwise, without using the true or false dao, it was uncertain whether Li Fan could fully withstand the tortoise shell's attack with his current strength.
qǐ chū lún huí sī xiàn ， hái yīn zhòu rán jù lì ér wēi wēi wān qū 。 dàn suí zhe lún huí wú xiàn jì xù kuò zhǎn ， zé shì jiāng shān hǎi yí tuì suǒ dài lái de yā lì gěi quán bù chéng jiē le xià lái 。
起初轮回丝线，还因骤然巨力而微微弯曲。但随着轮回无限继续扩展，则是将山海遗蜕所带来的压力给全部承接了下来。
In fact, the innate ferocity, even if just simulated by the void realm, was indeed exceptionally fierce.
shén shāng bù liǎo lǐ fán ， lì yě shāng bù liǎo lǐ fán 。
神伤不了李凡，力也伤不了李凡。
With no harm to himself, Li Fan was able to spare some of his spirit to check on Sh丘 and Dao De's battle status.
xū jiè suǒ huà guī ké de xí jī ， yě jiù zhù dìng wú yòng le 。
虚界所化龟壳的袭击，也就注定无用了。
Sh丘 performed much better than Li Fan.
kàn shì qīng miáo dàn xiě ， shí zé lǐ fán yǐ jīng jiāng zì shēn duì 【 zhòu huí 】 yī dào de lǐng wù fā huī zhì jí xiàn le 。 hái shì zài yǒu lián shān zhī shén de zhǐ yǐn xià ， jīng shén chéng gōng wú shì le xiān tiān xiōng lì de yǐng xiǎng 。
看似轻描淡写，实则李凡已经将自身对【宙廻】一道的领悟发挥至极限了。还是在有连山之神的指引下，精神成功无视了先天凶戾的影响。
"Born, I can kill."
fǒu zé zài bù dòng yòng zhēn jiǎ dà dào de qíng kuàng xià ， yǐ lǐ fán rú jīn shí lì ， yě wèi bì néng wán quán chéng shòu guī ké yī jī 。
否则在不动用真假大道的情况下，以李凡如今实力，也未必能完全承受龟壳一击。
Facing the bone filled with overwhelming malevolence and resentment, Sh丘 merely said a single sentence, effortlessly blocking its erosion. No matter how deeply the bone tried to root itself, Sh丘 remained as immovable as towering mountains.
kě yǐ shuō ， xiān tiān xiōng lì ， jí biàn zhǐ shì xū jiè fǎng zào 、 yě dí què xiōng hàn yì cháng 。
可以说，先天凶戾，即便只是虚界仿造、也的确凶悍异常。
Of the three, Dao De was the one with the highest risk.
zì shēn wú yàng ， lǐ fán fāng cái dé yǐ fēn chū jīng shén ， chá kàn shǒu qiū 、 dào dé nà biān zhàn kuàng 。
自身无恙，李凡方才得以分出精神，查看守丘、道德那边战况。
"Since his life is already over, what use is there in struggling?"
shǒu qiū de biǎo xiàn wú yí bǐ qǐ lǐ fán yào hǎo hěn duō 。
守丘的表现无疑比起李凡要好很多。
If it were just Dao De alone facing the命绳 (fate rope) that directly questioned his divine soul, he would surely fall into doubt and turmoil.
“ jì kě shēng nǐ ， biàn kě shā nǐ 。”
“既可生你，便可杀你。”
But since Dao De had entered the璇玑环 (Jade Ring of璇玑), things were different.
miàn duì lì qì chōng tiān ， mǎn huái bù fèn de zǔ gǔ ， shǒu qiū zhǐ dàn dàn yī jù ， biàn jiāng qí qīn shí gěi qīng sōng dǎng xià 。 rèn píng zǔ gǔ rú hé fēng kuáng zhā gēn shēn rù ， shǒu qiū yě zhǐ rú wēi é qún shān ， bù dòng fēn háo 。
面对戾气冲天，满怀不忿的祖骨，守丘只淡淡一句，便将其侵蚀给轻松挡下。任凭祖骨如何疯狂扎根深入，守丘也只如巍峨群山，不动分毫。
Even without Tai Yi's body leading him, Dao De’s divine consciousness wouldn't be much affected.
sān rén zhōng shāo yǒu fēng xiǎn de ， yě jiù shì dào dé le 。
三人中稍有风险的，也就是道德了。
After all, Li Fan once said that whoever truly inherited his memories would have a share in them.
“ qí mìng jì sǐ ， lù lù hé wèi ？”
“其命既死，碌碌何为？”
How many could truly feel and benefit from the true or false dao?
ruò zhǐ shì dào dé tā zì jǐ ， miàn duì mìng shéng zhè zhí dǐ shén hún de kǎo wèn ， dìng rán huì xiàn rù yóu yí dòng dàng zhī zhōng 。
若只是道德他自己，面对命绳这直抵神魂的拷问，定然会陷入犹疑动荡之中。
What good fortune!
dàn cǐ shí dào dé jì yǐ rù xuán jī huán zhī zhōng ， shì qíng zì rán bù tóng 。
但此时道德既已入璇玑环之中，事情自然不同。
Even if he died right now, it wouldn’t matter.
nǎ pà bù yòng tài yì zhī shēn yǐn lǐng ， dào dé shén niàn yě bú huì shòu dào duō shǎo yǐng xiǎng 。
哪怕不用太易之身引领，道德神念也不会受到多少影响。
Dao De's weakness lay in his weaker strength.
bì jìng lǐ fán céng shuō guò ， rì hòu hái zhēn jì chéng jì yì zhě ， bì yǒu tā yī fèn 。
毕竟李凡曾说过，日后还真继承记忆者，必有他一份。
This world had only briefly enlightened him this time, lacking the prolonged accumulation that Sh丘 enjoyed.
néng qiè zhēn gǎn shòu zhēn jiǎ dà dào ， bìng qiě cóng zhōng shòu huì 。 fàng yǎn zhěng gè shān hǎi ， yòu yǒu jǐ rén ？
能切真感受真假大道，并且从中受惠。放眼整个山海，又有几人？
With Dao De’s completeness, he could continuously mitigate the impact of the命绳 (fate rope).
hé qí xìng yě ！
何其幸也！
But ultimately, it wasn't as effortless as Li Fan and Sh丘.
nǎ pà cǐ kè dāng jí shēn sǐ yě wú hàn le 。
哪怕此刻当即身死也无憾了。
Always on the brink of life and death.
dào dé chī kuī zài shí lì bì jìng ruò le xiē 。
道德吃亏在实力毕竟弱了些。
Fortunately, Li Fan occasionally sent true spirits to replenish him, making him able to withstand the strain.
zhǐ shì lǐ fán zhè yī shì cāng cù diǎn huà ， méi yǒu shǒu qiū nà bān màn cháng shí guāng jī lěi 、 hòu jī bó fā 。
只是李凡这一世仓促点化，没有守丘那般漫长时光积累、厚积薄发。
The three true and false sages continued their fierce battle.
píng jiè dào dé yuán mǎn ， kě bù duàn jiāng mìng shéng yǐng xiǎng huà jiě 。
凭借道德圆满，可不断将命绳影响化解。
The void realm's先天凶戾 (primordial ferocity) was neutralized by Li Fan and his companions.
dàn zhōng jiū bù xiàng lǐ fán 、 shǒu qiū nà bān xiě yì 。
但终究不像李凡、守丘那般写意。
The battlefield once again fell into a stalemate.
shí kè chù zài shēng sǐ biān yuán de xiǎn jìng zhōng 。
时刻处在生死边缘的险境中。
---
hǎo zài yǒu lǐ fán shí bù shí sòng lái zhēn líng zī bǔ ， yě jīn de qǐ xiāo hào 。
好在有李凡时不时送来真灵滋补，也禁得起消耗。
The void realm's response wasn't as intense as in the previous life, when it saw the true or false dao. Instead, it fell into an eerie silence, seemingly pondering whether to further divide its forces here.
zhēn jiǎ sān shèng jì xù áo dòu 。
真假三圣继续鏖斗。
Since the void realm was fighting against the mountains and seas across the entire timeline, dividing more resources here would mean reducing elsewhere, thereby weakening the erosion by Dao Yin.
xū jiè hòu shǒu xiān tiān xiōng lì ， bèi tū rán mào chū de lǐ fán sān rén gěi huà jiě 。
虚界后手先天凶戾，被突然冒出的李凡三人给化解。
One change led to many others.
zhàn chǎng yī shí jiān yòu xiàn rù le jiāng jú zhī zhōng 。
战场一时间又陷入了僵局之中。
The void realm's every move seemed extremely cautious.
xū jiè mù hòu de fǎn yìng ， bù shì shàng yī shì nà yàng 、 jiàn dào zhēn jiǎ dà dào hòu jī liè wàn fēn 。
虚界幕后的反应，不似上一世那样、见到真假大道后激烈万分。
It didn't think for long.
ér shì xiàn rù le guǐ jué de chén mò zhī zhōng 。
而是陷入了诡谲的沉默之中。
After a moment of silence from the void realm, waves suddenly surged forth.
sì hū shì zài sī kǎo ， zài yú cǐ chǔ fèn bīng ， shì fǒu zhí de 。
似乎是在思考，再于此处分兵，是否值得。
"Be careful!"
bì jìng xū jiè shì zài zhěng tǐ shí jiān xiàn shàng gēn shān hǎi jìn xíng duì kàng ， cǐ chù ruò duō fēn yì diǎn 、 yě jiù yì wèi zhe qí tā shí jiān jié diǎn shàng jiù shì bì huì shōu suō xiē xǔ dào yān qīn shí lì liàng 。
毕竟虚界是在整体时间线上跟山海进行对抗，此处若多分一点、也就意味着其他时间节点上就势必会收缩些许道湮侵蚀力量。
As if perceiving something, the three true and false sages couldn’t help but warn through their minds.
cǐ xiāo ér bǐ zhǎng ， yī biàn shēng bǎi biàn 。
此消而彼涨，一变生百变。
Li Fan looked towards the surging waves in the void realm and saw more than ten movements approaching.
xū jiè mù hòu měi cì lào zi ， dōu xiǎn de jí wéi shèn zhòng 。
虚界幕后每次落子，都显得极为慎重。
His expression changed slightly: "The void realm's behind-the-scenes moves are truly grand. So decisive."
tā bìng méi yǒu sī kǎo tài jiǔ 。
祂并没有思考太久。
"Even without revealing the true or false dao, we would gladly divide four times as many forces!"
xū jiè chén jì le piàn kè hòu ， hū yǒu gǔn gǔn làng cháo xiān qǐ 。
虚界沉寂了片刻后，忽有滚滚浪潮掀起。
With just three additional pieces of primordial ferocity, everyone was already barely able to cope.
“ xiǎo xīn ！”
“小心！”
Another dozen pieces of primordial ferocity would surely be overwhelming under normal circumstances.
shì shì kuī jiàn le duān ní ， sān shèng běn zūn dōu rěn bú zhù chuán yīn tí xǐng 。
似是窥见了端倪，三圣本尊都忍不住传音提醒。
"Do we...?" Dao De's thoughts flickered, asking aloud.
lǐ fán cháo zhe xū jiè bō lán chù wàng qù ， hè rán jiàn shí duō dào yì dòng xí lái 。
李凡朝着虚界波澜处望去，赫然见十多道异动袭来。
Sh丘's expression turned serious and looked at Li Fan.
yě bù yóu shén qíng wēi biàn ：“ xū jiè mù hòu hǎo dà de shǒu bǐ ， hǎo guǒ jué de móu huà 。”
也不由神情微变：“虚界幕后好大的手笔，好果决的谋划。”
Li Fan pondered for a moment before gritting his teeth and saying: "No. If we use the true or false dao, the outcome will inevitably repeat what happened in the previous life. What’s the point of our attempt?"
“ nǎ pà wǒ men méi yǒu xiǎn lù chū zhēn jì dà dào zhè yī tā bì děi zào huà ， yě yuàn zài fēn bīng sì bèi lì liàng ！”
“哪怕我们没有显露出真迹大道这一祂必得造化，也愿再分兵四倍力量！”
"Let's just endure it! And see where our limits lie!"
zhǐ duō chū lái sān yàng xiān tiān xiōng lì ， zhòng rén dōu yǐ jīng shì kān kān yìng duì le 。
只多出来三样先天凶戾，众人都已经是堪堪应对了。
"You can rest assured; even if I perish, it’ll be a fresh start! In my past lives, I built foundations countless times, turning impossibilities into possibilities."
zài yǒu shí èr jiàn xiān tiān xiōng lì lái xí ， xún cháng qíng kuàng xià ， jué jì shì dǐ dǎng bú zhù de 。
再有十二件先天凶戾来袭，寻常情况下，决计是抵挡不住的。
"What happens today..."
“ yào bù yào ……” dào dé xīn zhōng yī dòng ， wèn dào 。
“要不要……”道德心中一动，问道。
"...is no harder than before!"
shǒu qiū shén qíng yán sù ， kàn xiàng lǐ fán 。
守丘神情严肃，看向李凡。
Li Fan’s thoughts deeply influenced Sh丘 and Dao De.
lǐ fán chén yín piàn kè ， yǎo yá shuō dào ：“ bù kě 。 ruò shì dòng yòng zhēn jiǎ zhī biàn ， jié jú yòu bì dìng gēn shàng yī shì yī yàng le 。 wú děng cǐ fān cháng shì ， yòu yǒu hé zhǒng yì yì ？”
李凡沉吟片刻，咬牙说道：“不可。若是动用真假之变，结局又必定跟上一世一样了。吾等此番尝试，又有何种意义？”
Sh丘's stern face relaxed instantly.
“ jiù yìng kàng zhī ！ qiě shì shì wú děng jí xiàn zài hé chù ！”
“就硬抗之！且试试吾等极限在何处！”
With a gentle smile, he faced the twelve surging primordial ferocities with his usual calm demeanor.
“ jǐn kě fàng xīn ， jiù suàn shēn yǔn ， yě bù guò zhòng lái bà le ！ xī rì wǒ céng bǎi shì zhù jī ， huà bù kě néng wèi kě néng 。”
“尽可放心，就算身陨，也不过重来罢了！昔日我曾百世筑基，化不可能为可能。”
Dao De also snorted coldly, adjusting himself to completeness.
“ jīn rì zhī shì ……”
“今日之事……”
"Fear death? What about these primordial ferocities?"
“ bìng bù nán yú guò qù ！”
“并不难于过去！”
"Trivial matters."
Within Li Fan's body resided only a fragment of the Sage of Continuous Mountains' divine consciousness. Naturally, this was not enough to directly neutralize the tortoise shell's oppressive aura.
The reason for the "stop" stance was because this divine consciousness almost completely suppressed the tortoise shell's malevolent qi, causing its surging descent to momentarily halt.
Given the vast disparity in strength between both parties, relying solely on a fragment of Continuous Mountains' divine consciousness was destined to be unsustainable for long.
However, Li Fan quickly took over.
Perceiving the essence of Continuous Mountains as if he were there himself, Li Fan agreed wholeheartedly: "You're right. This damned one must die. Get rid of old things; even if your heart is filled with countless regrets, it's useless. Better to accept your fate!"
In an instant, Li Fan's figure seemed to merge with the divine consciousness of Continuous Mountains, and his磅礴意念 (vast intent) clashed violently with the shell's remnants!
For a moment, Li Fan saw the past mountains and seas in the myriad patterns on the tortoise shell.
The current scene of mountains and seas was vastly different from what they were today.
It wasn't the original primordial mountain and sea at the beginning of time but rather an even more ancient past. The mountain and sea during their splitting!
As one of the beings born from the mountains and seas, it was hard to imagine how the mountains and seas would look without divine power. But now, Li Fan could glimpse a bit.
Without the "limitless" attribute,
the mountains would exhaustively rise but eventually reach an end; they would ascend to their peak only to decline afterward.
The sea seemed boundless, yet it inevitably faced the fate of drying up.
Even with its life form having become incredibly powerful, the mountains and seas still couldn't escape such limitations.
Thus, the mountains and seas sought to devour the divine!
As for the primordial deity, how it fell was not recorded in the tortoise shell. Only after splitting could the mountain and sea unhesitatingly discard their past self.
"Once you gain divine might, your coarse past is naturally discarded like a worn-out shoe."
"Actually trying to counterattack and rise again?"
"Truly seeking trouble!"
With such thoughts, it felt as if he had rooted himself firmly. Despite the tortoise shell's overwhelming malevolent qi, Li Fan remained unmoved.
Of course, this was just on the spiritual level; the pressure from the mountain and sea remnants still existed.
But Li Fan had his own way to deal with it.
Suddenly, a series of fine lines of light appeared around Li Fan's body.
Not the true or false dao, but directly using the [Zhou Hui] (Cycle) power to cleverly neutralize it.
---
Even though the mountains and seas bore an unbearable burden on living beings, if this weight were distributed among countless reincarnations, how significant would it be?
The myriad of souls only felt a slight increase in their load as they moved forward.

Though seemingly casual, Li Fan had already pushed his understanding of [Zhou Hui] to its limits. With Continuous Mountains' guidance, he successfully ignored the innate ferocity's influence on a spiritual level.
Otherwise, without using the true or false dao, it was uncertain whether Li Fan could fully withstand the tortoise shell's attack with his current strength.
In fact, the innate ferocity, even if just simulated by the void realm, was indeed exceptionally fierce.
With no harm to himself, Li Fan was able to spare some of his spirit to check on Sh丘 and Dao De's battle status.
Sh丘 performed much better than Li Fan.
"Born, I can kill."
Facing the bone filled with overwhelming malevolence and resentment, Sh丘 merely said a single sentence, effortlessly blocking its erosion. No matter how deeply the bone tried to root itself, Sh丘 remained as immovable as towering mountains.
Of the three, Dao De was the one with the highest risk.
"Since his life is already over, what use is there in struggling?"
If it were just Dao De alone facing the命绳 (fate rope) that directly questioned his divine soul, he would surely fall into doubt and turmoil.
But since Dao De had entered the璇玑环 (Jade Ring of璇玑), things were different.
Even without Tai Yi's body leading him, Dao De’s divine consciousness wouldn't be much affected.
After all, Li Fan once said that whoever truly inherited his memories would have a share in them.
How many could truly feel and benefit from the true or false dao?
What good fortune!
Even if he died right now, it wouldn’t matter.
Dao De's weakness lay in his weaker strength.
This world had only briefly enlightened him this time, lacking the prolonged accumulation that Sh丘 enjoyed.
With Dao De’s completeness, he could continuously mitigate the impact of the命绳 (fate rope).
But ultimately, it wasn't as effortless as Li Fan and Sh丘.
Always on the brink of life and death.
Fortunately, Li Fan occasionally sent true spirits to replenish him, making him able to withstand the strain.
The three true and false sages continued their fierce battle.
The void realm's先天凶戾 (primordial ferocity) was neutralized by Li Fan and his companions.
The battlefield once again fell into a stalemate.
---
The void realm's response wasn't as intense as in the previous life, when it saw the true or false dao. Instead, it fell into an eerie silence, seemingly pondering whether to further divide its forces here.
Since the void realm was fighting against the mountains and seas across the entire timeline, dividing more resources here would mean reducing elsewhere, thereby weakening the erosion by Dao Yin.
One change led to many others.
The void realm's every move seemed extremely cautious.
It didn't think for long.
After a moment of silence from the void realm, waves suddenly surged forth.
"Be careful!"
As if perceiving something, the three true and false sages couldn’t help but warn through their minds.
Li Fan looked towards the surging waves in the void realm and saw more than ten movements approaching.
His expression changed slightly: "The void realm's behind-the-scenes moves are truly grand. So decisive."
"Even without revealing the true or false dao, we would gladly divide four times as many forces!"
With just three additional pieces of primordial ferocity, everyone was already barely able to cope.
Another dozen pieces of primordial ferocity would surely be overwhelming under normal circumstances.
"Do we...?" Dao De's thoughts flickered, asking aloud.
Sh丘's expression turned serious and looked at Li Fan.
Li Fan pondered for a moment before gritting his teeth and saying: "No. If we use the true or false dao, the outcome will inevitably repeat what happened in the previous life. What’s the point of our attempt?"
"Let's just endure it! And see where our limits lie!"
"You can rest assured; even if I perish, it’ll be a fresh start! In my past lives, I built foundations countless times, turning impossibilities into possibilities."
"What happens today..."
"...is no harder than before!"
Li Fan’s thoughts deeply influenced Sh丘 and Dao De.
Sh丘's stern face relaxed instantly.
With a gentle smile, he faced the twelve surging primordial ferocities with his usual calm demeanor.
Dao De also snorted coldly, adjusting himself to completeness.
"Fear death? What about these primordial ferocities?"
"Trivial matters."
