lián shān shèng zhě cǐ yán yī chū ， zhū shèng shén qíng jiē biàn dé yǒu xiē gǔ guài qǐ lái 。
连山圣者此言一出，诸圣神情皆变得有些古怪起来。
The High Mountain Sage pondered for a moment and said, "Before the Timeless Sea, there was no trace of them. However, our previous judgment wasn't wrong; part of them is indeed still in the Timeless Sea." The Other Sages recalled the three thin lines they had seen earlier and gradually understood.
suī shuō shì lèi sì diào yú de zhuī zōng shǒu duàn ， dàn bì jìng xū yào qiān chě jìn rù shān hǎi shēng líng de guò chéng zhī zhōng 。
虽说是类似钓鱼的追踪手段，但毕竟需要牵扯进入山海生灵的过程之中。
"Perhaps... they are spreading their existence among their descendants using the Timeless Sea's life force?" Baishao asked with surprise.
cóng mǒu zhǒng yì yì shàng lái jiǎng ， rú cǐ dàn shēng zhě ， dōu kě chēng zhī wèi qiū tiān huì fū fù èr rén hòu yì ……
从某种意义上来讲，如此诞生者，都可称之为丘天慧夫妇二人后裔……
"If confined to one place, it would be easier to trace. But if scattered throughout the Timeless Sea, tracing them becomes extremely difficult, especially under the backdrop of the Great Barrier of Daoian. We can trace back several segments of the Timeless Sea, but its vastness makes it hard to cover everything," the Other Sage of High Mountain admitted.
“ nà biàn kàn shuí ， yǒu zhè bān hǎo yùn qì le 。” guī hǎi shèng zhě xiào le xiào le ， dàn zhǐ sǎ chū wàn qiān qīng guāng ， dùn rù shān hǎi zhī zhōng 。
“那便看谁，有这般好运气了。”归海圣者笑了笑了，弹指洒出万千青光，遁入山海之中。
"By transforming their bloodline and hiding more thoroughly, they can still enjoy the benefits of using the descendants' life force."
yǎn rán shì zuò wéi biǎo shuài ， fēn huà chū zì shēn lì liàng jì yú tiān dì zhī jiān 。 měi měi dài dào yǒu shēng líng yùn yù zhī jì ， biàn tóu shēn fù zhuó 。
俨然是作为表率，分化出自身力量寄于天地之间。每每待到有生灵孕育之际，便投身附着。
"It's almost certain that even without deliberate manipulation, as long as they are born in the end of the Timeless Sea, they will have a unique share of half the Timeless Sea's essence," the Other Sage of High Mountain said. The other Sages were increasingly impressed by this couple's methods.
sān shèng dōu bù shèn zài yì ， qí yú shèng zhě yě zhǐ hǎo xiào fǎng wèi zhī 。
三圣都不甚在意，其余圣者也只好效仿为之。
Only Li Fan had actually been to the end of the Timeless Sea. The End Sage Qixi Hui did indeed resemble Qixi Hui, as if he was reborn.
shà shí jiān ， bǐ àn shèng zhě shǒu duàn qí chū ， cháo zhe dāng qián shān hǎi gè zì tóu rù le nán yǐ jì shù zhī lì liàng 。
霎时间，彼岸圣者手段齐出，朝着当前山海各自投入了难以计数之力量。
"But what about the two thin lines pointing towards the beginning and the end of the Timeless Sea?" Li Fan asked.
yù jì shān hǎi jiē xià lái xīn dàn shēng shēng líng zhōng ， yuē shí fēn zhī yī dōu shì shèng zhě lì liàng yǎn huà qián fú 。
预计山海接下来新诞生生灵中，约十分之一都是圣者力量衍化潜伏。
"After using the descendants' life force method, they have already left. They are only keeping their past selves in a certain segment of the Timeless Sea to maintain this connection," the Other Sage of High Mountain explained after observing for some time.
rú tóng yī zhāng sēn rán jù wǎng ， huǎn huǎn zài shān hǎi jiān biān zhī wán bì 。
如同一张森然巨网，缓缓在山海间编织完毕。
"I originally thought that even if reborn, they would still be together. But now it seems..." The Other Sage of High Mountain saw countless lines flash before his eyes, more complex and concrete than those seen by the Other Sage of High Mountain.
guāng yīn liú zhuǎn ， bù biàn suì yuè 。
光阴流转，不辨岁月。
"They chose to separate, one going back to the beginning and the other to the end. Due to the vastness of time from start to finish, they left a mark in their original segment to maintain this connection," the Other Sage of High Mountain concluded.
bù zhī guò le duō jiǔ ， zhōng yú yǒu yú ér shàng gōu le 。
不知过了多久，终于有鱼儿上钩了。
The Other Sages were still pondering when Li Fan suddenly asked, "Do you think Qixi Hui is related to Qixi Hui?"
“ ń ？！” xìng yùn ér què shì qiè jī 。
“嗯？！”幸运儿却是窃机。
"The End Sage is straightforward and honest. He should not be faking it. It's likely a descendant naturally born from using the descendants' life force method to its extreme. With that share of half the Timeless Sea's essence, such performance is no surprise," the Other Sage of High Mountain said after some thought.
tā shén qíng què shì bù zěn me yú kuài ， lěng hēng yī shēng ， jiāng yī dào huà miàn dǎ chū 。
他神情却是不怎么愉快，冷哼一声，将一道画面打出。
"It aligns with my thoughts. But I can't understand where Qixi Hui and Qixi Hui have gone. Did they all their efforts just to make someone else look good?" Dao De asked doubtfully.
zhǐ jiàn fán sú shì jiè ， yí gè xún cháng yīng ér gū gū zhuì dì 。
只见凡俗世界，一个寻常婴儿呱呱坠地。
"The Timeless Sea Wanderer..." The three simultaneously thought of something.
kàn shì gēn qí yú xún cháng shēng líng méi shén me liǎng yàng ， bù guò yǒu zhe yī sī qiè jī yì shí de zhè míng xīn shēng ér ， què shì shí fēn mǐn ruì de chá jué dào le zì shēn de yì cháng 。
看似跟其余寻常生灵没什么两样，不过有着一丝窃机意识的这名新生儿，却是十分敏锐的察觉到了自身的异常。
"Travelling back in time from the end, this is indeed very romantic. But upon careful consideration, it's quite unbelievable. We know how dangerous crossing through the Void Realm is after multiple reunions," the Other Sage of High Mountain said.
“ rén zhī zhēn líng duō guǎ ， jī hū tiān shēng zhù dìng 。 gēn zì shēn zī zhì tiān fù xī xī xiāng guān ， hòu tiān xiǎng yào zēng jiā ， wéi yǒu tōng guò liáo liáo jǐ zhǒng tè shū bàn fǎ 。 huò shì xī shōu qí tā kě néng xìng shàng zì jǐ ， huò shì wù dào tū pò zhī jì de líng xī yī dòng ， yì huò zhě 、 dé zhòu huí dào yān wài lì guàn zhù 。”
“人之真灵多寡，几乎天生注定。跟自身资质天赋息息相关，后天想要增加，唯有通过寥寥几种特殊办法。或是吸收其他可能性上自己，或是悟道突破之际的灵犀一动，亦或者、得宙廻道湮外力灌注。”
"It's only possible with great willpower and wisdom." Li Fan had a guess.
“ zǒng zhī ， shān hǎi shēng mìng de zhēn líng duō guǎ ， wán quán yóu shān hǎi fēn pèi 。 cǐ suǒ wèi ，【 tiān zhù dìng 】 yě ， gè rén mìng shù suǒ zài 。 rán ér ……”
“总之，山海生命的真灵多寡，完全由山海分配。此所谓，【天注定】也，各人命数所在。然而……”
"Qixi Hui must have thought deeply to find the only way out. His eyes were filled with countless images as he pondered," Li Fan explained, his eyes flashing with infinite imagery.
“ wǒ zhè jù xìng yùn ér shēn qū ， chú le dé dào shān hǎi zì rán fēn pèi de nà yī fèn zhī wài ， yòu dé le lìng wài yī fèn ！”
“我这具幸运儿身躯，除了得到山海自然分配的那一份之外，又得了另外一份！”
The scenes changed slowly, not smoothly but in a series of flashes, as if Li Fan was creating a virtual world based on his current knowledge and true Dao principles in his mind for simulation.
hái chù zài niáng tāi zhōng de yīng ér ， jiù lián wǔ guān dōu hái wèi wán quán yùn yù 。
还处在娘胎中的婴儿，就连五官都还未完全孕育。
With his current strength, Li Fan could support such an action. While it couldn't match the nearly perfect simulations of Zhen Ran, it was far more advanced than ordinary derivation methods.
cǐ kè què yú quán suō zhōng mò dì zhēng kāi le shuāng yǎn ， míng biàn jǐ shēn 。
此刻却于蜷缩中蓦地睁开了双眼，明辨己身。
The mental strain from the simulation was intense, and Li Fan started to feel weak. He had to borrow some divine energy from the Other Sage of High Mountain and Dao De.
guī hǎi shèng zhě wēi wēi diǎn tóu ：“ cǐ biàn shì qiū tiān huì ， jiè shān hǎi shēng líng zhī shì ér xiū xíng dào guǒ xiǎn xiàn 。 qiū tiān huì zi sì ， shù liàng bù guò shān hǎi zǒng shēng líng wàn wàn fēn zhī yī bú dào ， rán jiè shì shēng líng dà dào 、 què kě zhàn jù gèng duō zhēn líng 。”
归海圣者微微点头：“此便是丘天慧，借山海生灵之势而修行道果显现。丘天慧子嗣，数量不过山海总生灵万万分之一不到，然借势生灵大道、却可占据更多真灵。”
"Qixi Hui, as the creator of the descendants' life force method, knew what would happen at the end of the Timeless Sea," Li Fan said, his eyes filled with images of the past.
“ suí zhe qí zi sì shù liàng zhàn bǐ de bù duàn zēng duō ， qiū tiān huì fū fù duì shēng líng de gān yù néng lì zhú jiàn biàn qiáng ……”
“随着其子嗣数量占比的不断增多，丘天慧夫妇对生灵的干预能力逐渐变强……”
"At that time, their influence on the Timeless Sea's essence would be terrifying. Their talents and willpower must far exceed ours. He might have a solution to problems we couldn't solve," Qixi Hui said excitedly in the simulation to Shao Zidi.
“ pà bú shì zhè xiē shēng líng zhēn yào zhàn jù shān hǎi zhēn líng de bàn bì jiāng shān le 。”
“怕不是这些生灵真要占据山海真灵的半壁江山了。”
Shao Zidi agreed naturally.
zhū shèng yī zhèn chén mò 。
诸圣一阵沉默。
So, Qixi Hui created his descendants and traveled through the Timeless Sea's essence to the end of time, witnessing the birth of Qixi Hui, who was born with half the Timeless Sea's essence. He found the answers he sought from him and continued towards his goal.
suí hòu lǐ fán qīng xiào le shēng ：“ zhè me shuō lái ， dǎo shì xìng hǎo shān hǎi zuì zhōng guī yú xū jiè 。 fǒu zé zhè piàn shān hǎi qǐ bù shì chí zǎo yào gǎi xìng qiū ？”
随后李凡轻笑了声：“这么说来，倒是幸好山海最终归于虚界。否则这片山海岂不是迟早要改姓丘？”
At the beginning of the Timeless Sea, his consort Shao Zidi was waiting for him.
suī shì wán xiào huà ， dàn zhū shèng xiǎn rán duì yú qiū tiān huì fū fù de zhè yī jiè shì shēng líng de xiū xíng fāng fǎ ， xīn cún jiè dì 。
虽是玩笑话，但诸圣显然对于丘天慧夫妇的这一借势生灵的修行方法，心存芥蒂。
"Has my derivation been accurate?" Li Fan asked with a hint of satisfaction as the images abruptly stopped due to the immense mental strain.
The High Mountain Sage pondered for a moment and said, "Before the Timeless Sea, there was no trace of them. However, our previous judgment wasn't wrong; part of them is indeed still in the Timeless Sea." The Other Sages recalled the three thin lines they had seen earlier and gradually understood.
