第1732章 恍惚见未来

“ zòng shǐ wú děng hào chēng lián shān 、 guī hǎi ， yě wú fǎ zhēn zhèng jiāng shān hǎi wěi lì ， huì jù yī chù 。”

“纵使吾等号称连山、归海，也无法真正将山海伟力，汇聚一处。”

Even though the situation in the Sea of Mirrors was becoming increasingly dire, it had indeed been stabilized by the support from the Sea of Mirrors from the future. However, the Void Realm quickly sensed this external force and decided to escalate its efforts.

“ kuàng qiě ， gōng shì kě suí yì diào zhuǎn ， shǒu què yòu rú hé néng rèn yì biàn dòng ？ dào yān qīn tūn dà bèi jǐng xià ， shān hǎi měi yī chù jī hū dōu chù zài suǒ néng chéng shòu jí xiàn xià 。 wú děng cǐ chù chōu diào shān hǎi zhī lì ， pà bú shì qí yú duàn shān hǎi lì kè biàn yào bèi xū jiè tūn mò le 。”

“况且，攻势可随意调转，守却又如何能任意变动？道湮侵吞大背景下，山海每一处几乎都处在所能承受极限下。吾等此处抽调山海之力，怕不是其余段山海立刻便要被虚界吞没了。”

The clouds of darkness seemed to cover the sky more densely than before, with the accumulated power of the Void Realm surpassing previous levels. Even though the Three Sages' vision could no longer easily cross through these barriers, they were still able to hold off attacks from the Void Realm's avatars for a while.

“ wú děng bèi xū jiè shì xiàn zǔ gé ， wú fǎ zòng guān shān hǎi 。 zòng shǐ néng tiáo kòng shān hǎi zhī lì ， yě wú fǎ gēn nà xū jiè mù hòu duì yì 。” sān shèng zǒng jié dào 。

“吾等被虚界视线阻隔，无法纵观山海。纵使能调控山海之力，也无法跟那虚界幕后对弈。”三圣总结道。

"However, it can't last much longer."

lǐ fán sī cǔn piàn kè ， kuì rán yī tàn ：“ shì wǒ yǒu xiē yì xiǎng tiān kāi le 。 zhǐ bù guò rú jīn jú miàn wēi jí ， shān hǎi kōng yǒu yú lì què wú fǎ diào yòng 。 rèn xū jiè yú ròu ér háo wú fǎn kàng ， kàn zhe shí zài biē qū 。”

李凡思忖片刻，喟然一叹：“是我有些异想天开了。只不过如今局面危急，山海空有余力却无法调用。任虚界鱼肉而毫无反抗，看着实在憋屈。”

"At most another five hundred years."

“ ruò yǒu shèng zhě ， mù néng héng guàn shǐ mò 、 lì kě yí shān bān hǎi …… qǐ bù shì wēi jú qǐng kè kě pò ？”

“若有圣者，目能横贯始末、力可移山搬海……岂不是危局顷刻可破？”

Li Fan was content with only intervening at critical moments. He continued searching for promising candidates and observing Mo Yongge, piecing together fragments of his past.

zhū shèng wén yán ， jiē yī zhèn yǎ rán 。

诸圣闻言，皆一阵哑然。

"If my memory is correct..."

“ wǒ dǎo shì jué de ， zhòu huí dào yǒu xiān qián xiǎng fǎ ， wèi bì bù kě xíng 。” chén mò qī jiān ， qiè jī yī fān huà què shì hū de xī yǐn le zhū shèng mù guāng 。

“我倒是觉得，宙廻道友先前想法，未必不可行。”沉默期间，窃机一番话却是忽的吸引了诸圣目光。

"The time point is roughly the same as now, but the experiences are vastly different."

“ cháng yán dào ， zhì zhī sǐ dì ér hòu cún 。 shēng sǐ cún wáng qī jiān ， bì dìng kě yǐ bào fā chū yì yú xún cháng de lì liàng 。 rú jīn suī wú fǎ zhǔ dòng diào yòng shān hǎi wěi lì ， dàn huò xǔ kě yǐ bī yī bī 。”

“常言道，置之死地而后存。生死存亡期间，必定可以爆发出异于寻常的力量。如今虽无法主动调用山海伟力，但或许可以逼一逼。”

"When the Sage Emperor fell, he scattered all his cultivation to the people just before dying, leading to a resurgence of sages."

qiān yì nián suì yuè de jì yì ， jiāng qiè jī xīn tóu de yīn mái chōng shuā dài jìn 。

千亿年岁月的记忆，将窃机心头的阴霾冲刷殆尽。

"Mo Yongge was one of them. He reached the Sage Realm and even shared my experience of 'True Virtue'."

tā yòu huī fù le xī rì de zì xìn ， xú xú shuō dào ：“ bù dān dān zhǐ shì bī chū shān hǎi zì shēn de lì liàng ， gèng bāo hán qiū tiān huì 、 shào zì dài fū fù ！”

他又恢复了昔日的自信，徐徐说道：“不单单只是逼出山海自身的力量，更包含丘天慧、邵自黛夫妇！”

"Just like Tao and Shou Qiu."

“ wéi xì shān hǎi shēng líng mài luò zhōng yāng jié diǎn ， rú cǐ zhòng yào de dì fāng ， wú jiù bù xìn tā men bú huì liú xià rèn hé bǎo hù shǒu duàn 。 shēng líng dà dào ， bì jìng yī fù shān hǎi 。 ruò shì cǐ chù shān hǎi huǐ miè ， wú lùn tā men yǒu shén me suàn jì 、 jiū jìng shēn chù hé fāng ， shì bì dū huì shòu dào yǐng xiǎng ！”

“维系山海生灵脉络中央节点，如此重要的地方，吾就不信他们不会留下任何保护手段。生灵大道，毕竟依附山海。若是此处山海毁灭，无论他们有什么算计、究竟身处何方，势必都会受到影响！”

Li Fan closed his eyes slowly, masking his inner turmoil. Even if he saw the Sea of Mirrors collapse, he would not react so dramatically.

qiè jī de fēn xī ， bù dé bù shuō yǒu diǎn dào lǐ 。

窃机的分析，不得不说有点道理。

Perhaps only when he first saw the Lone Star appear in the world could it match this level of shock.

zhū shèng zhèng zài sī cǔn qí zhōng kě néng xìng ， wéi yǒu sān shèng yǐ jí lǐ fán ， zhù yì dào le qiè jī cǐ yán suǒ liú lù dài biǎo de lìng wài hán yì 。

诸圣正在思忖其中可能性，唯有三圣以及李凡，注意到了窃机此言所流露代表的另外含义。

"The more I recall, the clearer it becomes. It feels like a personal experience."

“ bī yī bī shān hǎi …… qiè jī zhè xiǎng fǎ ， yǒu xiē wēi xiǎn a 。”

“逼一逼山海……窃机这想法，有些危险啊。”

"It's definitely not just a random fantasy."

“ yǒu diǎn yì si ， rú guǒ shì zhèng cháng shòu dào xuán jī huán tóng xīn tóng dé yǐng xiǎng de qiè jī ， yīng gāi bú huì chǎn shēng rú cǐ niàn tou cái shì 。 dào xiàng shì tuō lí zhì gù 、 huī fù běn xìng de qiè jī ， cái gāi yǒu de niàn tou 。 nán dào shuō ……” lǐ fán bù dòng shēng sè ， àn lǐ guān chá le yī quān 。

“有点意思，如果是正常受到璇玑环同心同德影响的窃机，应该不会产生如此念头才是。倒像是脱离桎梏、恢复本性的窃机，才该有的念头。难道说……”李凡不动声色，暗里观察了一圈。

"But the key question is: When?"

“ lì jīng qiān yì nián suì yuè ， jí biàn 【 tóng xīn tóng dé 】， yě yǒu xiē tùn qù le yán sè 。 wǒ gēn shǒu qiū 、 dào dé zhī jiān qíng kuàng hái suàn hǎo ， bì jìng shì dān dú de sān wèi yī tǐ 、 hù xiāng gòng xiǎng ， bǐ cǐ lián xì mì qiè 。”

“历经千亿年岁月，即便【同心同德】，也有些褪去了颜色。我跟守丘、道德之间情况还算好，毕竟是单独的三位一体、互相共享，彼此联系密切。”

Li Fan knew that the crucial factor was himself, not Mo Yongge.

“ ér xuán jī huán zhōng qí yú shèng zhě …… sì hū yǒu xiē shī kòng de jì xiàng 。”

“而璇玑环中其余圣者……似乎有些失控的迹象。”

He once again traced back all his memories since he came through the portal.

“ jí biàn hái hěn wēi ruò ， bù guò jué bù kě hū shì 。”

“即便还很微弱，不过绝不可忽视。”

Even Shou Qiu and Tao helped him recall these events to ensure nothing was missed.

lǐ fán dōu zhù yì dào le zhè yì diǎn ， sān shèng zì rán yě chá jué dào le 。

李凡都注意到了这一点，三圣自然也察觉到了。

Finally, he confirmed that he had never experienced such a life.

dàn què tóng yàng méi yǒu shuō pò ， zhǐ shì xuán jī huán zhàn fàng bái guāng ， wēi bù kě jué de shǎn dòng le xià 。

但却同样没有说破，只是璇玑环绽放白光，微不可觉的闪动了下。

"Did you notice, Daoist Friend Fan? The Sea of Mirrors in this memory is so different from what we are experiencing now."

shī kòng yǔ fǒu ， gēn qí jiàn yì de kě xíng xìng shì liǎng mǎ shì 。

失控与否，跟其建议的可行性是两码事。

"The fall of the Sage Emperor in Taiwei's realm is something I've never encountered even after multiple cycles of reincarnation."

sān shèng jīng guò yī fān tuī yǎn ， dǎo shì chéng rèn le qiè jī de fāng àn dí què yǒu jǐ fēn chéng gōng de kě néng 。

三圣经过一番推衍，倒是承认了窃机的方案的确有几分成功的可能。

"It feels like..."

zhǐ shì què bù hǎo zuò wéi shàng cè ， zhǐ néng ná lái yòng zuò pò bù dé yǐ de hòu bèi fāng àn 。

只是却不好作为上策，只能拿来用作迫不得已的后备方案。

"Existing in another Sea of Mirrors."

“ xiān jī xù lì liàng ， zuò guò yī cháng 。”

“先积蓄力量，做过一场。”

Shou Qiu's words made Li Fan deeply ponder.

“ xū jiè suī rán shì dà ， wú děng què yě bù bì wèi zhàn xiān qiè 。 bù tí wú děng ， shǒu qiū 、 zhòu huí dào yǒu bī tuì yī zhòng xū jiè huà shēn shén wēi qíng jǐng ， rú jīn hái lì lì zài mù ！” tài yì kàn xiàng xū jiè zhī wài ， píng jìng yǎn shén zhōng ， shǎn guò yī sī hán máng 。

“虚界虽然势大，吾等却也不必未战先怯。不提吾等，守丘、宙廻道友逼退一众虚界化身神威情景，如今还历历在目！”太易看向虚界之外，平静眼神中，闪过一丝寒芒。

"Another Sea of Mirrors."

shù cì fù lián shān hǎi suǒ dài lái shí lì tí shēng ， shǐ de sān shèng yě zhú jiàn qū xiàng zì shēn “ wán zhěng ” shí hòu xìng qíng suǒ zhuǎn biàn 。

数次复联山海所带来实力提升，使得三圣也逐渐趋向自身“完整”时候性情所转变。

These five words seemed to trigger some kind of switch. Coupled with the continuous effort to piece together lost memories, a portion of his forgotten past began to resurface.

zuò wéi shǒu chí zhòng shēng gùn ， jiāng qí yú xiān tiān wǔ tài jǐn jiē tūn shì tóng huà de xiōng rén ， tài yì dìng rán bú huì qīng yì fú shū 。

作为手持众生棍，将其余先天五太尽皆吞噬同化的凶人，太易定然不会轻易服输。

At the end of time, as the Void Realm was about to consume everything, even though Su Xin Hui tried his best to turn things around, he could not change the outcome.

ér miàn duì tài yì de chēng zàn ， lǐ fán sān rén zhǐ shì xiào ér bù dá 、 bìng wèi guò duō huí yìng 。

而面对太易的称赞，李凡三人只是笑而不答、并未过多回应。

"Haha. Daoist Friend Fan, are you still hesitating?"

zuò wéi 【 zhēn líng guàn zhù 】 shén tōng chí yǒu zhě ， fù lián shān hǎi hòu bèi lì liàng zuì zhòng yào yuán quán 。 bú dào wàn bù dé yǐ ， zhū shèng dìng rán shì bú huì ràng tā shàng zhàn chǎng de 。

作为【真灵灌注】神通持有者，复联山海后备力量最重要源泉。不到万不得已，诸圣定然是不会让他上战场的。

Li Fan then lost control of his body and memory, only vaguely remembering the scene where the Sea of Mirrors no longer existed and the Lone Star appeared in the world.

chú fēi tā zhǔ dòng qǐng yīng 。

除非他主动请缨。

Now, these memories were slowly returning to Li Fan's mind.

bù guò zhè yī cì lǐ fán nèi xīn yǐ jīng dǎ dìng le zhǔ yì ， jìng kàn qí zhōng biàn huà 。

不过这一次李凡内心已经打定了主意，静看其中变化。

"Even a single finger can make the star appear."

gù ér jiē xià lái yī duàn shí jiān ， lǐ fán suǒ zuò zhī shì ， biàn shì zhōng rì shén yóu shān hǎi 、 sōu xún kě sù zhī cái ， zhǐ diǎn chéng shèng 。

故而接下来一段时间，李凡所做之事，便是终日神游山海、搜寻可塑之才，指点成圣。

"But it cannot block the star for eternity."

jù lí tā suǒ shú zhī de shí jiān diǎn ， shí guāng cháng hé xiàng qián tuī jìn le shù shí wàn nián 。

距离他所熟知的时间点，时光长河向前推进了数十万年。

"I am also seeking this answer."

shān hǎi suǒ yǎn huà yīng cái wú shù 。

山海所衍化英才无数。

"If I had never seen it, where would my 'True Virtue' come from?"

xiǎng yào chéng gōng shāi xuǎn ， yě bìng fēi shì jiàn yì shì 。

想要成功筛选，也并非是件易事。

...

zhè yī cì ， lǐ fán hái zhǔ dòng gēn tài wēi shèng dì dǎ le zhāo hū 。 tóng yàng zài tài wēi shèng cháo zhī mín tiāo xuǎn hǎo de miáo zi 。

这一次，李凡还主动跟太微圣帝打了招呼。同样在太微圣朝之民挑选好的苗子。

Image after image flashed through Li Fan's mind like lightning. Despite the pain in his head, he tried to maintain inner calm and analyze these sudden revelations.

guò qù xuǎn zé shèng zhě hòu bèi ， shì xiàn dà duō jù jiāo zài wú míng 、 chāo tuō jìng jiè xiū shì shēn shàng 。

过去选择圣者后备，视线大多聚焦在无名、超脱境界修士身上。

"Are these words mine or said by True Virtue?"

ér shèng cháo qíng kuàng tè shū ， nǎi shì yī rén dú fǎ de shì jiè 。 suī zi mín yì wàn wàn ， dàn chú le tài wēi shèng dì zhī wài ， qí yú zuì gāo bù guò zhēn xiān jìng jiè 。

而圣朝情况特殊，乃是一人独法的世界。虽子民亿万万，但除了太微圣帝之外，其余最高不过真仙境界。

"It can't be True Virtue speaking. Otherwise, why mention my 'True Virtue'?"

jiù suàn zī yuán 、 tiān fù quán dōu mǎn zú jìn shēng shèng zhě yāo qiú ， suǒ xū shí jiān yě bì dìng shí fēn màn cháng 。 shí zài yǒu xiē děng bù qǐ 。

就算资源、天赋全都满足晋升圣者要求，所需时间也必定十分漫长。实在有些等不起。

Previously, Li Fan only thought that when he lost his memory, it was because True Virtue had taken control of his body.

dàn zhè cì ， lǐ fán yǒu yù gǎn ， ná xià qián fāng shān hǎi de zhè chǎng zhàng huò xǔ shì chǎng kuàng rì chí jiǔ zhī zhàn 。

但这次，李凡有预感，拿下前方山海的这场仗或许是场旷日持久之战。

Now, it seemed...

shèng cháo zhī mín wú shù ， bù kě hū lüè 。

圣朝之民无数，不可忽略。

It might not have been the case.
