“ shān hǎi pò miè hòu ， zhǐ liú yū jī zhēn líng yú xū jiè zhōng 。 wú děng nì liú héng dù shí ， jiē yǐ jīng mù dǔ cǐ zhǒng zhēn líng shù liàng ， hào hàn wú yín 、 wú biān wú jì 。”
“山海破灭后，只留淤积真灵于虚界中。吾等逆流横渡时，皆已经目睹此种真灵数量，浩瀚无垠、无边无际。”
"After all, how far ahead are you two thinking? Swallowing the mountains and seas, stealing food from stars, is not so easy!"
“ zhè hái zhǐ shì shān hǎi yī cì lún huí màn cháng shēng mìng zhòng ， wēi bù zú dào de qí zhōng yī xiǎo bù fèn 。 bǎi cì 、 qiān cì ， nǎi zhì chéng qiān shàng wàn cì lún huí suǒ lěi jī ne ？”
“这还只是山海一次轮回漫长生命中，微不足道的其中一小部分。百次、千次，乃至成千上万次轮回所累积呢？”
"Never mention the star. I can't even pass through the three sages or the initial sages of the mountains and seas. Do they really think that just because I claim to save the world, they will obediently accept my devouring actions? Can only Li Fan do it while you cannot?"
“ kǒng pà dàng chéng nán yǐ xiǎng xiàng ， wǎn ruò wú xiàn ！” dào dé xú xú shuō chū le zì shēn cāi cè 。
“恐怕当成难以想象，宛若无限！”道德徐徐说出了自身猜测。
"In the end, it still comes down to speaking with cultivation."
lǐ fán shà shí jiān biàn xiǎng dào shàng yī shì ， zì jǐ fā dòng hái zhēn hòu 、 réng rán bǎo chí le yī duàn shí jiān de qīng xǐng 。 yú shì chá jué dào le zì shēn wú xiàn líng xìng zài zhè ge guò chéng zhōng ， sì hū zài bèi yì zhí xiāo hào zhī shì 。 běn néng fǎn bó dào ：“ shān hǎi chóng xiàn ， xū yào zhēn líng wèi méi jiè 。 yū jī zhēn líng ， kǒng pà shì suí zhe hái zhēn fā dòng ér bèi yòng lái zhòng sù shān hǎi le 。 wǒ xiān qián jīng lì ， biàn shì zuì hǎo zuǒ zhèng ！”
李凡霎时间便想到上一世，自己发动还真后、仍然保持了一段时间的清醒。于是察觉到了自身无限灵性在这个过程中，似乎在被一直消耗之事。本能反驳道：“山海重现，需要真灵为媒介。淤积真灵，恐怕是随着还真发动而被用来重塑山海了。我先前经历，便是最好佐证！”
Indeed, what Li Fan said was very reasonable. After considering carefully again, Shouqiu and Damao felt a bit enlightened and sighed: "It is because we observed the actions of former Daoist Li Fan from our hearts that we believe he is the only savior of the mountains and seas. Even if you want to swallow the mountains and seas, we will support it unconditionally."
miàn duì lǐ fán xìn shì dàn dàn de huà ， shǒu qiū gēn dào dé chén mò sī kǎo le yī zhèn ， suí hòu fǎng fú xiǎng dào yī chù ， wú shēng xiào le xiào 。
面对李凡信誓旦旦的话，守丘跟道德沉默思考了一阵，随后仿佛想到一处，无声笑了笑。
"However, others certainly won't be like us."
“ nǐ men liǎ xiào shén me ？” lǐ fán zuì chū yǒu xiē nà mèn ， bù guò zài gǎn yìng dào tā men xīn zhōng suǒ xiǎng hòu ， shén qíng yě biàn dé yǒu xiē qí guài qǐ lái 。
“你们俩笑什么？”李凡最初有些纳闷，不过在感应到他们心中所想后，神情也变得有些奇怪起来。
"Unless..."
bù gù lǐ fán yǐ jīng zhī xiǎo ， shǒu qiū réng yáo tóu shuō dào ：“ fán dào yǒu a fán dào yǒu ， nǐ zhī suǒ yǐ jué de zì jǐ tǐ nèi zhēn líng bèi xiāo hào diào ， shì yīn wèi zài héng dù guò chéng zhōng yuè lái yuè pí bèi 。”
不顾李凡已经知晓，守丘仍摇头说道：“凡道友啊凡道友，你之所以觉得自己体内真灵被消耗掉，是因为在横渡过程中越来越疲惫。”
"All the lives in the mountains and seas are included in the璇玑环and share the same heart!" Shouqiu suddenly blurted out this sentence.
“ nà yǒu méi yǒu kě néng ……”
“那有没有可能……”
Even Li Fan couldn't help jumping at these words. According to his nature, he would never share his inner thoughts with others. However, due to a fortunate opportunity, he had tried it for the first time and found that it was harmless and even beneficial.
“ chú le bèi chōu qǔ de xiāo hào huì dǎo zhì xū ruò gǎn zhī wài ， dà liàng xī qǔ shān hǎi yū jī zhēn líng ， yǐ zhì yú chāo chū shēn tǐ jí xiàn 。 tóng yàng huì chǎn shēng lèi sì de gǎn jué ？” shǒu qiū gēn dào dé èr rén jiē dīng zhe lǐ fán 。
“除了被抽取的消耗会导致虚弱感之外，大量吸取山海淤积真灵，以致于超出身体极限。同样会产生类似的感觉？”守丘跟道德二人皆盯着李凡。
But three hearts in unison were already the limit of what Li Fan could accept now. The idea of Shouqiu opening his heart completely to all the lives of the mountains and seas seemed impossible.
“ fǒu zé ， yǐ nǐ wú xiàn zhēn líng zhī dǐ yùn ， ruò zhēn bèi chōu kòng 。 yòu qǐ néng qīng yì huī fù guò lái ？”
“否则，以你无限真灵之底蕴，若真被抽空。又岂能轻易恢复过来？”
"Is Shouqiu's approach a bit too extreme?"
“ kuàng qiě ， zhēn jiǎ dà dào 、 shén tōng wú shàng 。 zhòng sù shān hǎi ， yòu hé xū zài jiè suǒ wèi yū jī zhēn líng ？”
“况且，真假大道、神通无上。重塑山海，又何须再借所谓淤积真灵？”
"The number of living beings is countless, with so many unpredictable variables." Li Fan said in a low voice.
“ gū xīng jiàng shì ， bì dìng tūn mò wàn wù 。 zòng shǐ xū jiè 、 yū jī zhēn líng yě bù lì wài 。 hái zhēn fā dòng héng dù zhì shí guāng zhī mò de guò chéng ， yě shì yī lù shōu jí zhēn líng de guò chéng 。 yǐ nǐ rú jīn shí lì ， duǎn shí jiān nèi wú xíng jiē shòu rú cǐ shù liàng de zhēn líng ， dìng rán nán yǐ chéng shòu 。”
“孤星降世，必定吞没万物。纵使虚界、淤积真灵也不例外。还真发动横渡至时光之末的过程，也是一路收集真灵的过程。以你如今实力，短时间内无形接受如此数量的真灵，定然难以承受。”
Shouqiu didn't give up on his idea. His eyes grew brighter as he thought: "The more virtuous one is, the more they can feel the greatness of former Daoist Li Fan. I believe that even ordinary lives in the mountains and seas will understand after experiencing everything that happened there, and make the right choices. As for those stubborn ones..."
lǐ fán běn néng zhòu méi fǎn bó ：“ huāng miù ， chī chēng gēn è sǐ ， wǒ zěn huì fēn bù qīng chǔ ！ zhì yú zhēn jiǎ dà dào ……”
李凡本能皱眉反驳：“荒谬，吃撑跟饿死，我怎会分不清楚！至于真假大道……”
"Unable to block the trend!"
huà yǔ dùn le dùn ， lǐ fán jìng rán jué de duì fāng shuō de yě yǒu xiē dào lǐ 。
话语顿了顿，李凡竟然觉得对方说的也有些道理。
Damao also added: "After careful consideration, it is indeed feasible!"
dàn chū yú tiān shēng de duō yí ， lǐ fán hái shì hěn kuài jiāng zhè sī rèn tóng gǎn pāo zhī nǎo hòu 。
但出于天生的多疑，李凡还是很快将这丝认同感抛之脑后。
Shouqiu continued: "If not for the restrictions of the three sages'璇玑环, how could the holy beings of the mountains and seas work together? Our plan merely imitates the story of the three sages. However, our同心ring would be much larger than the璇玑ring. Our aspirations are also higher!"
mī zhuó yǎn jīng ， dǎ liàng shǒu qiū gēn dào dé ， lǐ fán xīn zhōng yǐn yǐn huǎn guò shén lái 。 yīn wèi guò qù zhī lǐ fán gēn zì jǐ shí zé shì tóng yī rén ， gù ér tóng xīn tóng dé de shǒu qiū gēn dào dé ， yě jiù méi yǒu jiāng qí dàng zuò “ wài rén ” kàn dài 。
眯着眼睛，打量守丘跟道德，李凡心中隐隐缓过神来。因为过去之李凡跟自己实则是同一人，故而同心同德的守丘跟道德，也就没有将其当做“外人”看待。
"Without a larger同心ring covering the mountains and seas, how can all lives unite for their survival?"
jiā zhī qí biǎo xiàn chū lái de gāo shàng cún zài ， biàn shǐ de shǒu qiū 、 dào dé ， zǒng yǐ zhì shàn zhī cí bēi qù chuǎi cè guò qù lǐ fán de yī qiè suǒ zuò suǒ wéi 。
加之其表现出来的高尚存在，便使得守丘、道德，总以至善之慈悲去揣测过去李凡的一切所作所为。
Shouqiu and Damao looked at Li Fan with intense eyes full of unrestrained passion.
zhè yì diǎn dǎo shì gēn lǐ fán jié rán xiāng fǎn 。
这一点倒是跟李凡截然相反。
Li Fan knew that this passion was not directed towards him but towards the former savior he had once been.
xǐng wù guò lái hòu de lǐ fán ， yě méi yǒu xuǎn zé jì xù zhēng biàn 。
醒悟过来后的李凡，也没有选择继续争辩。
"In some sense, my actions in the past were infinitely close to Shouqiu and Damao's ideal self. Although I cannot reach it, I yearn for it. Under the influence of the璇玑ring, I can empathize with it even more."
“ cǐ shì dǎo shì bù nán yàn zhèng ， xià yī cì fā dòng hái zhēn zhī shí ， wǒ zài zhēng dà yǎn jīng kàn zhe biàn shì 。”
“此事倒是不难验证，下一次发动还真之时，我再睁大眼睛看着便是。”
Shouqiu and Damao's changes within a short time were indeed strange but understandable.
“ cǐ shì jīng lì sān shèng qiān yì suì yuè xǐ lǐ ， yòu mù dǔ le shān hǎi wú shù cì lún huí 。 wǒ zhī chéng shòu néng lì ， yòu shàng yī céng lóu 。 dìng bú huì zài xiàng shàng yī shì bān ， hún hún è è le 。” lǐ fán chén shēng dào 。
“此世经历三圣千亿岁月洗礼，又目睹了山海无数次轮回。我之承受能力，又上一层楼。定不会再像上一世般，浑浑噩噩了。”李凡沉声道。
The core reason was that Li Fan in the past was simply too powerful, and his actions were too legendary. Even after his death and disappearance, he could still command and influence the sages based on his deeds.
shǒu qiū gēn dào dé jù shì diǎn tóu 。
守丘跟道德俱是点头。
"But what does it matter?"
sān rén mò qì tiào guò ， bù zài jiū jié cǐ shì 。
三人默契跳过，不再纠结此事。
"The survival of the mountains and seas still depends on me." Li Fan coldly thought to himself.
“ nà me zài lái shuō shuō ， jiù shì xiān jiù jǐ ba 。”
“那么再来说说，救世先救己吧。”
"Considering carefully, Shouqiu and Damao's plan might really work."
zhè wǔ zì ， míng xiǎn shì guò qù zhī lǐ fán duì xiàn zài zì jǐ de jiāo dài 。
这五字，明显是过去之李凡对现在自己的交代。
"However, we need more time."
yě bìng méi yǒu shén me tè bié xuán jī ， jiù shì zì miàn yì si 。
也并没有什么特别玄机，就是字面意思。
"True Dao Hall, theft, exploration, and the strange fortune of the mountains and seas..."
xiǎng yào zhěng jiù shān hǎi ， nà jiù xiān jiù zì jǐ 。
想要拯救山海，那就先救自己。
In his mind, countless thoughts were constantly evolving.
“ fán dào yǒu guò qù ， xīn xì shān hǎi 。 wèi le jiù shì ， yǒu shí hòu wǎng wǎng huì zài zì jǐ gēn shān hǎi zhī jiān zuò chū jué zé shí ， huì duō piān xiàng shān hǎi yī xiē 。”
“凡道友过去，心系山海。为了救世，有时候往往会在自己跟山海之间做出抉择时，会多偏向山海一些。”
The sages were working together to restore and save the world from the threats of the virtual army.
“ suǒ wèi běn xìng nán gǎi ， yǐ tā rú cǐ gāo shàng pǐn xíng ， zòng shǐ lún huí wàn qiān 、 kǒng pà yǒu xiē shì ， dōu yǒng yuǎn bú huì zuò 。 zhè yě shǐ de ， shān hǎi lì jīng wú shù cì lún huí ， bìng fēi suǒ yǒu de kě néng xìng 。 huò xǔ shēng jī ， biàn yīng zài xiàn rú jīn fán dào yǒu shēn shàng ！” shǒu qiū gōng diǎn píng dào 。
“所谓本性难改，以他如此高尚品行，纵使轮回万千、恐怕有些事，都永远不会做。这也使得，山海历经无数次轮回，并非所有的可能性。或许生机，便应在现如今凡道友身上！”守丘公点评道。
They did not realize that among their ranks, three sages had quietly changed.
“ rú hé lì wǎn kuáng lán ， zuì zhōng dōu zǔ zhǐ bù liǎo gū xīng jiàng shì 。 xiǎng yào zhěng jiù shān hǎi ， biàn yào yǔ xīng zhēng huī 。 shèn zhì jiāng qí jī kuì 。”
“如何力挽狂澜，最终都阻止不了孤星降世。想要拯救山海，便要与星争辉。甚至将其击溃。”
Although they already had a rough plan, Li Fan was unwilling to reveal any details.
“ dàn ……”
“但……”
He knew very well that as long as he didn't expose his thoughts through the principle of unity in heart and mind, he would immediately become an enemy of the mountains and seas.
sī suǒ chén mò le xǔ jiǔ ， dào dé zhè cái jì xù shuō xià qù 。
思索沉默了许久，道德这才继续说下去。
His countless memories from the past were now treasures for others.
“ xiǎng yào zài wéi chí shān hǎi cún zài de qíng kuàng xià ， qù gēn xīng xiàng zhēng ， huò xǔ běn shēn jiù shì yī jiàn bù kě néng zhī shì 。”
“想要在维持山海存在的情况下，去跟星相争，或许本身就是一件不可能之事。”
He still needed more time to build up his strength before executing his plan.
“ shān hǎi fēn shén ， ér hòu guī xīng 。 wú děng xiū shì ， yòu shì yuán qǐ shān hǎi 。 xiǎng yào tiào chū zì shēn suǒ shǔ ， yī biān zhěng jiù shān hǎi 、 yī biān yǔ xīng xiàng zhēng 。 kǒng pà dāng nián zhēn shén lái le ， dōu zuò bú dào 。”
“山海分神，而后归星。吾等修士，又是源起山海。想要跳出自身所属，一边拯救山海、一边与星相争。恐怕当年真神来了，都做不到。”
"Perhaps we can start considering adding more people with unity in heart and mind."
dào dé de huà ， zé shì gěi le lǐ fán qǐ fā 。
道德的话，则是给了李凡启发。
After observing Shouqiu and Damao's changes, Li Fan looked at Mo Yongge, who had yet to become a sage, thoughtfully saying: "We must be cautious when selecting candidates. The minimum requirement is that they should have an inherent concern for the mountains and seas like Shouqiu and Damao."
wǎn ruò yī dào shǎn diàn pī guò ， tā xīn zhōng huǎng rán ：“ shān hǎi yǔ xīng ， cǐ xiāo bǐ zhǎng 。 xiǎng yào zǔ zhǐ shān hǎi guī xīng ， yào me huí dào fēn shén zhī chū ， qǔ ér dài yě 。 yào me ……”
宛若一道闪电劈过，他心中恍然：“山海与星，此消彼长。想要阻止山海归星，要么回到分神之初，取而代也。要么……”
"Better still, those who once fought alongside me in the past and whose character has already been proven."
“ zài xīng tūn mò shān hǎi zhī qián ， qiǎng xiān yī bù ， jiāng shān hǎi nà rù náng zhōng 。”
“在星吞没山海之前，抢先一步，将山海纳入囊中。”
Considering all these factors, Mo Yongge was undoubtedly a suitable candidate.
“ shān hǎi bù zài ， ér wǒ zài 。 ér hòu wǒ duì xīng 。”
“山海不在，而我在。而后我对星。”
Mo Yongge could provide Li Fan with vague memories, making him not an ordinary person. He could be considered one of Li Fan's loyal followers and comrades-in-arms, unwavering through life and death.
“ zhè biàn shì suǒ wèi ， jiù shì xiān jiù jǐ ？” lǐ fán yǎn zhōng shǎn guò yī sī qí yì guāng zé 。
“这便是所谓，救世先救己？”李凡眼中闪过一丝奇异光泽。
"Proving the Dao through 'Song', his voice echoes in the shattered mountains and seas, inspiring and motivating their hearts. Even under the dire circumstances of the sages, they never give up and fight bravely."
yǐn yuē kuī jiàn le lǐ fán xīn zhōng wú shù yī shǎn ér guò de huà miàn ， yǐ jí tā nà pēng rán xīn dòng de qíng xù 。 shǒu qiū gēn dào dé jì bù chū shēng zàn tóng ， yě méi yǒu chū yán fǎn duì 。
隐约窥见了李凡心中无数一闪而过的画面，以及他那怦然心动的情绪。守丘跟道德既不出声赞同，也没有出言反对。
Although Mo Yongge had not yet become a sage, with Li Fan's help, he was already certain.
zhǐ shì mò bù zuò shēng 。
只是默不作声。
"The only trouble is that unity in heart and mind originates from the three sages'璇玑ring."
xiān bù tí ， jiù suàn tūn mò shān hǎi hòu ， shì bú shì zhēn de néng gēn xīng yī jiào gāo xià 。
先不提，就算吞没山海后，是不是真的能跟星一较高下。
"Only those who first sat among the three sages can truly be united. The others are merely influenced subconsciously."
jiù suàn lǐ fán zhēn shèng le ……
就算李凡真胜了……
"The three sages can form a unified whole, but they naturally have gaps with other lives of the mountains and seas, so true unity is impossible. But I am different."
tūn shān hǎi 、 miè gū xīng ， zhè yī qiè dá chéng hòu de lǐ fán ， jiū jìng huì biàn chéng hé děng mú yàng ， yǐ rán wán quán chāo chū le suǒ néng xiǎng xiàng de fàn chóu 。
吞山海、灭孤星，这一切达成后的李凡，究竟会变成何等模样，已然完全超出了所能想象的范畴。
"To ensure success, only someone with true unity in heart and mind can do it!"
yòu rú hé què dìng ， tā zuì zhōng réng huì xuǎn zé “ jiù shì ” ne ？
又如何确定，他最终仍会选择“救世”呢？
A cold light flashed in Li Fan's eyes.
wú kě suàn yě ， wú kě zhī yě 。
无可算也，无可知也。
"The璇玑ring is incredibly profound. Decoding it was already extremely difficult. Now, to make changes on its basis..."
wú kě nài hé yě 。
无可奈何也。
"It requires a deep understanding of the principles."
dàn què shì ， cháng shì liǎo wú shù cì lún huí 、 shǐ zhōng shī bài 。 méi yǒu bàn fǎ zhī xià ， wéi yī de bàn fǎ le 。
但却是，尝试了无数次轮回、始终失败。没有办法之下，唯一的办法了。
Li Fan was not confused by his past self.
zhí cǐ kè ， shǒu qiū gēn dào dé jìng shì yǐn yǐn yǒu xiē néng gòu gǎn shòu dào dāng chū lǐ fán zuò chū rú cǐ jué zé shí ， jiū jìng shì hé děng jiū jié le 。
值此刻，守丘跟道德竟是隐隐有些能够感受到当初李凡做出如此抉择时，究竟是何等纠结了。
He still had a clear understanding of his own strength: "With my current understanding of the璇玑ring, even with Shouqiu and Damao, it might be impossible to add another person."
lǐ fán zì rán néng gǎn shòu dào lìng wài èr rén xīn zhōng de xiǎng fǎ 。
李凡自然能感受到另外二人心中的想法。
"Unraveling the knot requires tying it again. We must rely on the three sages."
tā shěn xiào le shēng ：“ liǎng wèi dǎo shì xiǎng de bǐ wǒ hái yuǎn 。 tūn shān shì hǎi ， xīng kǒu duó shí ， yòu qǐ shì zhè me hǎo tūn de ？”
他哂笑了声：“两位倒是想的比我还远。吞山噬海，星口夺食，又岂是这么好吞的？”
"How can we secretly push them?"
“ bié tí xīng le 。 sān shèng ， nǎi zhì shān hǎi zhī chū zhū shèng zhè yī guān ， wǒ mù qián dōu guò bù liǎo 。 nán bù chéng wǒ dǎ zhe jiù shì de míng hào xíng tūn shì zhī jǔ ， tā men jiù huì guāi guāi rèn mìng le ？ jiù nǐ lǐ fán yī rén xíng dé ， wǒ piān xíng bù dé ？”
“别提星了。三圣，乃至山海之初诸圣这一关，我目前都过不了。难不成我打着救世的名号行吞噬之举，他们就会乖乖认命了？就你李凡一人行得，我偏行不得？”
Looking at the increasingly perilous situation in the mountains and seas under the shadow of the virtual army, Li Fan had a rough idea.
“ dào zuì hòu ， hái shì yào píng xiū wèi shuō huà de 。”
“到最后，还是要凭修为说话的。”
"We cannot rush or risk revealing anything."
bù dé bù shuō ， lǐ fán cǐ yán jí yǒu dào lǐ 。
不得不说，李凡此言极有道理。
"The number of cycles I have experienced compared to my past self is negligible. We can take our time."
shǒu qiū gēn dào dé zǐ xì zài yī sī cǔn ， yǒu xiē huí guò wèi lái ， gǎn tàn dào ：“ shì wú děng guān céng jīng fán dào yǒu suǒ zuò suǒ wèi ， yóu nèi xīn zì fā rèn dìng fán dào yǒu nǎi shì shān hǎi wéi yī jiù shì zhǔ 。 wú tiáo jiàn de xiāng xìn ， jí biàn nǐ yào xíng tūn shān shì hǎi zhī jǔ ， wú děng yě huì zhī chí 。”
守丘跟道德仔细再一思忖，有些回过味来，感叹道：“是吾等观曾经凡道友所做所为，由内心自发认定凡道友乃是山海唯一救世主。无条件的相信，即便你要行吞山噬海之举，吾等也会支持。”
After understanding the truth about stillness, his worry that it might leave him anytime disappeared.
“ zhì yú páng rén ， dí què bú huì shì wú děng zhè bān 。”
“至于旁人，的确不会似吾等这般。”
He could now plan everything more securely.
“ chú fēi ……”
“除非……”
Unity in thought and action.
“ jiāng shān hǎi zhòng shēng ， jiē nà rù xuán jī huán zhōng ， gòng xiǎng tóng xīn tóng dé zhī shì ！” shǒu qiū shū rán mào chū zhè me yī jù 。
“将山海众生，皆纳入璇玑环中，共享同心同德之事！”守丘倏然冒出这么一句。
What Li Fan did was exactly as he had planned: continue searching for sages in the mountains and seas.
jiù lián lǐ fán ， tīng wén cǐ yán de shùn jiān yě bù yóu xīn zhōng yī tiào 。
就连李凡，听闻此言的瞬间也不由心中一跳。
Apart from the three members of Sacred Dynasty, he found two promising talents.
yǐ tā xìng qíng ， běn shì jué bù kě néng gēn páng rén gòng xiǎng zì jǐ nèi xīn de 。
以他性情，本是绝不可能跟旁人共享自己内心的。
He spared no true spirit to help them absorb it with all his effort.
dàn zài jī yuán qiǎo hé zhī xià ， yǒu le shǒu cì cháng shì 。
但在机缘巧合之下，有了首次尝试。
Unlike his previous casual approach, Li Fan was now more serious and dedicated.
cháng dào tián tóu bìng qiě chá jué duì zì shēn bìng wú hài chù zhī hòu ， fāng cái lǚ lǚ wèi zhī 。
尝到甜头并且察觉对自身并无害处之后，方才屡屡为之。
In his view, these newly appointed sages might be potential allies in the future.
bù guò sān rén tóng xīn tóng dé ， yǐ jīng shì xiàn zài lǐ fán suǒ néng jiē shòu de jí xiàn le 。
不过三人同心同德，已经是现在李凡所能接受的极限了。
While infusing true spirits, Li Fan also pondered over the true spirits he had mobilized.
shì shǒu qiū zhè bān ， xiàng shān hǎi quán bù shēng líng chǎng kāi zì jǐ xīn fēi zhī shì ， zé shì xiǎng dōu méi yǒu xiǎng guò 。
似守丘这般，向山海全部生灵敞开自己心扉之事，则是想都没有想过。
With his memories of himself from the past, his understanding of them changed subtly:
“ shǒu qiū dào yǒu shì bú shì yǒu xiē tài jí duān le 。”
“守丘道友是不是有些太极端了。”
"Accumulated true spirits are remnants after the destruction of the mountains and seas."
“ shēng líng hé zhǐ yì wàn ， biàn shù shí zài tài duō 。” lǐ fán mēn shēng shuō dào 。
“生灵何止亿万，变数实在太多。”李凡闷声说道。
"And the mountains and seas originated from divine beings."
shǒu qiū què bìng méi yǒu fàng qì zì jǐ de xiǎng fǎ ， yuè xiǎng yǎn shén yuè shì míng liàng 。
守丘却并没有放弃自己的想法，越想眼神越是明亮。
"In some sense, this is also the fundamental reason why humans can become immortals or sages."
“ pǐn xíng yuè shì gāo shàng ， yuè shì néng gǎn shòu dào guò qù fán dào yǒu zhī wěi dà 。 wú xiāng xìn ， zòng shǐ shān hǎi jiān xún cháng shēng líng ， zài gǎn shòu dào céng jīng shān hǎi zhōng suǒ fā shēng yī qiè hòu ， yīng gāi dū huì néng lǐ jiě 、 ér hòu zuò chū zhèng què xuǎn zé de 。 zhì yú nà xiē míng wán bù líng zhě ……”
“品行越是高尚，越是能感受到过去凡道友之伟大。吾相信，纵使山海间寻常生灵，在感受到曾经山海中所发生一切后，应该都会能理解、而后做出正确选择的。至于那些冥顽不灵者……”
"Accumulated true spirits have no实质difference with the innate true spirits of living beings."
“ nán zǔ dà shì ！”
“难阻大势！”
"That means that the disaster of Daoian extinction in the virtual world has no impact on the true spirit itself."
dào dé yě chóng chóng gēn le yī jù ：“ xì xì xiǎng lái ， dí què kě xíng ！”
道德也重重跟了一句：“细细想来，的确可行！”
"Only when the star appears, they will be erased."
shǒu qiū yòu dào ：“ ruò fēi sān shèng xuán jī huán zhì gù ， shān hǎi shèng zhě yòu qǐ huì tóng xīn xié lì ？ wú děng jì huà ， yě bù guò xiào fǎng sān shèng gù shì bà le 。 zhǐ bù guò ， wú děng yù suǒ zào tóng xīn huán ， guī mó hái yào yuǎn zài xuán jī huán zhī shàng 。 wú děng zhī jì tuō ， yě yuǎn zài sān shèng zhī shàng ！”
守丘又道：“若非三圣璇玑环桎梏，山海圣者又岂会同心协力？吾等计划，也不过效仿三圣故事罢了。只不过，吾等欲所造同心环，规模还要远在璇玑环之上。吾等之寄托，也远在三圣之上！”
"But is it erasure or absorption?"
“ ruò fēi yǒu gèng dà tóng xīn huán lǒng zhào shān hǎi ， shān hǎi zhòng shēng yòu rú hé huì wèi zì shēn cún wáng ér xīn xiàng yī chù ？”
“若非有更大同心环笼罩山海，山海众生又如何会为自身存亡而心向一处？”
Li Fan thought back to what he saw and pondered:
shǒu qiū gēn dào dé mù guāng zhuó zhuó ， kàn zhe lǐ fán 。
守丘跟道德目光灼灼，看着李凡。
He had once wanted to release all his hidden true spirits.
yǎn jīng lǐ mǎn shì bù jiā yǎn shì de kuáng rè 。
眼睛里满是不加掩饰的狂热。
But stillness warned him with unprecedented caution upon sensing this.
lǐ fán zì rán zhī dào ， zhè kuáng rè bìng bú shì duì zì jǐ de 。
李凡自然知道，这狂热并不是对自己的。
"Theoretically speaking, even if the mountains and seas collapse, one can revert to the true spirit through the transformation of reality."
ér shì zài tóng xīn tóng dé zuò yòng xià ， duì guò qù nà ge jiù shì shèng rén de 。
而是在同心同德作用下，对过去那个救世圣人的。
"Which means..."
“ cóng mǒu zhǒng yì yì shàng lái jiǎng ， guò qù zhī wǒ de suǒ zuò suǒ wéi ， wú xiàn jiē jìn shǒu qiū 、 dào dé èr rén lǐ xiǎng zhōng de zì jǐ 。 suī bù néng zhì ， xīn xiàng wǎng zhī 。 què zài xuán jī huán zuò yòng xià ， gǎn tóng shēn shòu le yī bǎ 。 zì rán huì gèng jiā wú xiàn rèn kě 。”
“从某种意义上来讲，过去之我的所作所为，无限接近守丘、道德二人理想中的自己。虽不能至，心向往之。却在璇玑环作用下，感同身受了一把。自然会更加无限认可。”
"A surge of true spirits could influence the reshaping of the mountains and seas by stillness?"
shǒu qiū gēn dào dé duǎn shí jiān nèi de biàn huà ， kān chēng guǐ jué 。
守丘跟道德短时间内的变化，堪称诡谲。
Recommend a book: A new work from the great author阎zk is extremely good!
shí zé yě zài qíng lǐ zhī zhōng 。
实则也在情理之中。
Yao, demons, gods, strange tales, and the江湖.
jiū qí gēn běn ， hái shì céng jīng nà ge lǐ fán ， shí zài tài guò qiáng dà 。 suǒ xíng zhū shì ， yě shí zài tài guò chuán qí 。 nǎ pà shēn sǐ niàn xiāo hòu ， zhǐ píng céng jīng shì jì ， yě néng hào lìng yǐng xiǎng zhū shèng 。
究其根本，还是曾经那个李凡，实在太过强大。所行诸事，也实在太过传奇。哪怕身死念消后，只凭曾经事迹，也能号令影响诸圣。
In the tavern, a Huns' wine girl smiled away others' hands, her skirt swaying; in the night market, who knew how many were human and how many were ghosts under their hoods; tigers roamed the mountains, dragons slept in Dongting Lake.
“ bù guò nà yòu rú hé ？”
“不过那又如何？”
A sword, a person, and a scroll of books.
“ rú jīn shān hǎi cún wáng ， hái bú shì dé kào wǒ 。” lǐ fán xīn zhōng lěng hēng yī shēng 。
“如今山海存亡，还不是得靠我。”李凡心中冷哼一声。
The path lay ahead, the way was in his heart, and the sword was in his hand.
“ xì xì xiǎng lái ， shǒu qiū gēn dào dé de jì huà ， huò xǔ dàng zhēn kě xíng 。”
“细细想来，守丘跟道德的计划，或许当真可行。”
Slashing demons and monsters, gods and immortals retreated.
“ zhǐ bù guò ， xū cóng cháng jì yì 。”
“只不过，需从长计议。”
True Lord arrives, nothing is taboo!
"After all, how far ahead are you two thinking? Swallowing the mountains and seas, stealing food from stars, is not so easy!"
"Never mention the star. I can't even pass through the three sages or the initial sages of the mountains and seas. Do they really think that just because I claim to save the world, they will obediently accept my devouring actions? Can only Li Fan do it while you cannot?"
"In the end, it still comes down to speaking with cultivation."
Indeed, what Li Fan said was very reasonable. After considering carefully again, Shouqiu and Damao felt a bit enlightened and sighed: "It is because we observed the actions of former Daoist Li Fan from our hearts that we believe he is the only savior of the mountains and seas. Even if you want to swallow the mountains and seas, we will support it unconditionally."
"However, others certainly won't be like us."
"Unless..."
"All the lives in the mountains and seas are included in the璇玑环and share the same heart!" Shouqiu suddenly blurted out this sentence.
Even Li Fan couldn't help jumping at these words. According to his nature, he would never share his inner thoughts with others. However, due to a fortunate opportunity, he had tried it for the first time and found that it was harmless and even beneficial.
But three hearts in unison were already the limit of what Li Fan could accept now. The idea of Shouqiu opening his heart completely to all the lives of the mountains and seas seemed impossible.
"Is Shouqiu's approach a bit too extreme?"
"The number of living beings is countless, with so many unpredictable variables." Li Fan said in a low voice.
Shouqiu didn't give up on his idea. His eyes grew brighter as he thought: "The more virtuous one is, the more they can feel the greatness of former Daoist Li Fan. I believe that even ordinary lives in the mountains and seas will understand after experiencing everything that happened there, and make the right choices. As for those stubborn ones..."
"Unable to block the trend!"
Damao also added: "After careful consideration, it is indeed feasible!"
Shouqiu continued: "If not for the restrictions of the three sages'璇玑环, how could the holy beings of the mountains and seas work together? Our plan merely imitates the story of the three sages. However, our同心ring would be much larger than the璇玑ring. Our aspirations are also higher!"
"Without a larger同心ring covering the mountains and seas, how can all lives unite for their survival?"
Shouqiu and Damao looked at Li Fan with intense eyes full of unrestrained passion.
Li Fan knew that this passion was not directed towards him but towards the former savior he had once been.
"In some sense, my actions in the past were infinitely close to Shouqiu and Damao's ideal self. Although I cannot reach it, I yearn for it. Under the influence of the璇玑ring, I can empathize with it even more."
Shouqiu and Damao's changes within a short time were indeed strange but understandable.
The core reason was that Li Fan in the past was simply too powerful, and his actions were too legendary. Even after his death and disappearance, he could still command and influence the sages based on his deeds.
"But what does it matter?"
"The survival of the mountains and seas still depends on me." Li Fan coldly thought to himself.
"Considering carefully, Shouqiu and Damao's plan might really work."
"However, we need more time."
"True Dao Hall, theft, exploration, and the strange fortune of the mountains and seas..."
In his mind, countless thoughts were constantly evolving.
The sages were working together to restore and save the world from the threats of the virtual army.
They did not realize that among their ranks, three sages had quietly changed.
Although they already had a rough plan, Li Fan was unwilling to reveal any details.
He knew very well that as long as he didn't expose his thoughts through the principle of unity in heart and mind, he would immediately become an enemy of the mountains and seas.
His countless memories from the past were now treasures for others.
He still needed more time to build up his strength before executing his plan.
"Perhaps we can start considering adding more people with unity in heart and mind."
After observing Shouqiu and Damao's changes, Li Fan looked at Mo Yongge, who had yet to become a sage, thoughtfully saying: "We must be cautious when selecting candidates. The minimum requirement is that they should have an inherent concern for the mountains and seas like Shouqiu and Damao."
"Better still, those who once fought alongside me in the past and whose character has already been proven."
Considering all these factors, Mo Yongge was undoubtedly a suitable candidate.
Mo Yongge could provide Li Fan with vague memories, making him not an ordinary person. He could be considered one of Li Fan's loyal followers and comrades-in-arms, unwavering through life and death.
"Proving the Dao through 'Song', his voice echoes in the shattered mountains and seas, inspiring and motivating their hearts. Even under the dire circumstances of the sages, they never give up and fight bravely."
Although Mo Yongge had not yet become a sage, with Li Fan's help, he was already certain.
"The only trouble is that unity in heart and mind originates from the three sages'璇玑ring."
"Only those who first sat among the three sages can truly be united. The others are merely influenced subconsciously."
"The three sages can form a unified whole, but they naturally have gaps with other lives of the mountains and seas, so true unity is impossible. But I am different."
"To ensure success, only someone with true unity in heart and mind can do it!"
A cold light flashed in Li Fan's eyes.
"The璇玑ring is incredibly profound. Decoding it was already extremely difficult. Now, to make changes on its basis..."
"It requires a deep understanding of the principles."
Li Fan was not confused by his past self.
He still had a clear understanding of his own strength: "With my current understanding of the璇玑ring, even with Shouqiu and Damao, it might be impossible to add another person."
"Unraveling the knot requires tying it again. We must rely on the three sages."
"How can we secretly push them?"
Looking at the increasingly perilous situation in the mountains and seas under the shadow of the virtual army, Li Fan had a rough idea.
"We cannot rush or risk revealing anything."
"The number of cycles I have experienced compared to my past self is negligible. We can take our time."
After understanding the truth about stillness, his worry that it might leave him anytime disappeared.
He could now plan everything more securely.
Unity in thought and action.
What Li Fan did was exactly as he had planned: continue searching for sages in the mountains and seas.
Apart from the three members of Sacred Dynasty, he found two promising talents.
He spared no true spirit to help them absorb it with all his effort.
Unlike his previous casual approach, Li Fan was now more serious and dedicated.
In his view, these newly appointed sages might be potential allies in the future.
While infusing true spirits, Li Fan also pondered over the true spirits he had mobilized.
With his memories of himself from the past, his understanding of them changed subtly:
"Accumulated true spirits are remnants after the destruction of the mountains and seas."
"And the mountains and seas originated from divine beings."
"In some sense, this is also the fundamental reason why humans can become immortals or sages."
"Accumulated true spirits have no实质difference with the innate true spirits of living beings."
"That means that the disaster of Daoian extinction in the virtual world has no impact on the true spirit itself."
"Only when the star appears, they will be erased."
"But is it erasure or absorption?"
Li Fan thought back to what he saw and pondered:
He had once wanted to release all his hidden true spirits.
But stillness warned him with unprecedented caution upon sensing this.
"Theoretically speaking, even if the mountains and seas collapse, one can revert to the true spirit through the transformation of reality."
"Which means..."
