shú xī de bái sè shuǐ wù ， cóng yǎng fèn xuán wō zhōng zī shēng 。
熟悉的白色水雾，从养分漩涡中滋生。
Familiar white dots appeared amidst the swirling nutrient vortex, one of them particularly noticeable. The memories from earlier began to surface in his mind.
qiāo wú shēng xī 。
悄无声息。
"Friend Daoist, have we met before?"
"Numerous heroes and virtuous sages in the mountains and seas, how can you possibly deceive all of us!"
yǔ cǐ tóng shí ， shǒu qiū yì lì shēn yǐng ， què shì wǎn ruò bīng fēng 。
与此同时，守丘屹立身影，却是宛若冰封。
Lian Xuan carefully pondered these words, his eyes narrowing slightly as he recalled them. "This white dot, like Master Qiu Xin Hui at the end of the age, has a vague sense of the truth that the mountains and seas are constantly being reset."
liǎn shàng shén qíng níng gù bù dòng ， wéi chí zài chū zhǐ diǎn xiàng xīn shén de chà nà 。
脸上神情凝固不动，维持在出指点向新神的刹那。
"Upon meeting me again, it developed a familiar feeling, prompting repeated questioning."
yī dào wú xíng lián yī dàng kāi ， shǒu qiū zhī yǐng ， cùn cùn pò suì 。
一道无形涟漪荡开，守丘之影，寸寸破碎。
"I never answered directly, but after another cycle, this intuition grew stronger..."
xiāng jiào yú zǐ 、 qīng èr sè guāng diǎn ， shǒu qiū yǔn luò de dòng jìng shāo wēi dà le nà me yì diǎn 。
相较于紫、青二色光点，守丘陨落的动静稍微大了那么一点。
"He could not be stopped. Hence his sentiment about the countless heroes of the mountains and seas cannot all be deceived."
bù zài shì xiàng zhǐ chóng zi bān bèi wú shēng niǎn sǐ ， shèn zhì zài yǎng fèn xuán wō zhōng jī qǐ le xiē xǔ bō lán 。
不再是像只虫子般被无声碾死，甚至在养分漩涡中激起了些许波澜。
"Humph, too much adherence to propriety. At first, just find an excuse to evade it. Silence is the best response, isn't it like trying to cover a silver mountain with three hundred taels of sand?"
dàn yě jǐn zhǐ yú cǐ le 。
但也仅止于此了。
"Unable to deceive, either kill or subdue, or work together in unity and harmony. Yet he allowed this dot to grow unchecked..."
yī jiù bù kě zǔ dǎng de ， suí fēng shì qù le 。
依旧不可阻挡的，随风逝去了。
Lian Xuan shook his head disdainfully at his past self's choices. He recalled the scene from the end of time where the two white dots emerged as the virtual world devoured the mountains and seas.
bù guò ， zhēn yì jiǎ jiā chí xià de shǒu qiū ， shí lì háo wú yí wèn zhàn zài le shèng zhě zhī diān 。
不过，真亦假加持下的守丘，实力毫无疑问站在了圣者之巅。
He was almost certain that after countless cycles, these two dots had a vague understanding that the mountains and seas were constantly being reset. They might not know he or the True-False Transformation was responsible, but they would remain hidden until the next cycle began.
tā lín zhōng de líng xū yī zhǐ ， zhōng jiū shì gěi shén ， dài lái le shǎo xǔ yǐng xiǎng 。
他临终的凌虚一指，终究是给神，带来了少许影响。
"True-False Transformation is indeed annoying."
shǐ de yuán běn mì bù tòu fēng de yǎng fèn xuán wō 、 zhè shén dàn zhī dì ， chū xiàn le xiē xǔ de pò zhàn 。
使得原本密不透风的养分漩涡、这神诞之地，出现了些许的破绽。
The True-False Transformation reset everything to its original state, but these two entities remained like blemishes, still faintly imprinted each time.
hái zhēn bái wù ， yīn zhī chéng jiāng lǐ fán guǒ fù zài nèi 。
还真白雾，因之成将李凡裹缚在内。
"They won't retain my complete memories from the previous life, but should have similar intuition."
lǐ fán wèi yú hé xīn ， biàn shì yǒu le zhǔ tǐ ， yǒu le dòng lì yuán quán 。
李凡位于核心，便是有了主体，有了动力源泉。
"What about that new god?"
bái wù bù zài wèi jù suǒ wèi shén de huī máng ， hào hào dàng dàng ， cóng xū wú chǔ gǔn gǔn ér lái 。
白雾不再畏惧所谓神的辉芒，浩浩荡荡，从虚无处滚滚而来。
Lian Xuan felt a sudden worry. After careful consideration, his anxiety gradually dissipated.
rú cǐ dòng jìng ， zì rán táo bù guò xīn “ shén ” de chá jué 。
如此动静，自然逃不过新“神”的察觉。
"Having past intuitions isn't scary."
fǎng fú bèi yī zhī wú xíng jù shǒu jǐn jǐn cuàn zhù ， gǔn dòng bái wù shà shí níng shí 。
仿佛被一只无形巨手紧紧篡住，滚动白雾霎时凝实。
"The truly terrifying thing is divine power."
ér hòu fǎng fú bèi fǎn fù yòng lì yā suō bān ， bái wù jī hū ròu yǎn kě jiàn de ， biàn dé gèng jiā nóng hòu le jǐ fēn 。
而后仿佛被反复用力压缩般，白雾几乎肉眼可见的，变得更加浓厚了几分。
"At this time point, that new god was merely an ordinary sage of the mountains and seas at the beginning."
“ zhēn zuò jiǎ shí jiǎ yì zhēn ！”
“真作假时假亦真！”
"Divine battles have countless variables. Even if we go through another cycle, the victor might not be him again."
wǎn ruò hù mìng de fú zhòu ， lǐ fán xīn zhōng bù duàn kuài sù yín chàng 。
宛若护命的符咒，李凡心中不断快速吟唱。
He admitted that the new god, having absorbed almost all the energy from the mountains and seas, was far above the level of a common sage.
suī shì jīng jù xià de běn néng fǎn yìng ， què yě dàng zhēn yǒu xiào 。
虽是惊惧下的本能反应，却也当真有效。
The purple and green dots were among the few sages left but had been easily killed by the new god. Even silver辉 and pale could barely maintain their intuitions in the face of the new god's overwhelming power.
bīng fēng bái wù ， zài dù yǒng dòng 。 yuè lái yuè hòu ， jiāng wài jiè yī qiè wēi xié dǎng xià 。
冰封白雾，再度涌动。越来越厚，将外界一切威胁挡下。
"The only thing that can slightly affect this new god is True-False Transformation."
lái zì shén de wēi yā ， hǎo sì xiāo shī bú jiàn 。
来自神的威压，好似消失不见。
"Uncle Qiu might have gleaned something from his final move in the previous life."
shì jiān chú le bái wù yǐ jí bái wù zhōng de lǐ fán ， zài wú tā wù 。 ān jìng wú bǐ ， shèn zhì ān jìng de yǒu xiē lìng rén zhì xī 。
世间除了白雾以及白雾中的李凡，再无他物。安静无比，甚至安静的有些令人窒息。
Uncle Qiu's True-False One-Finger Touch had definitely touched upon the new god, even if it wasn't a "wound." Lian Xuan believed that with Uncle Qiu's insight, any touch would yield some benefit.
“ hái zhēn chéng gōng le ？” lǐ fán xīn yǒu yú jì de xiǎng zhe 。
“还真成功了？”李凡心有余悸的想着。
"First touch, second time... third time..."
biàn zài cǐ kè ， bái wù měng dì jù liè zhèn dàng qǐ lái 。
便在此刻，白雾猛地剧烈震荡起来。
"...might have the power to fight against the divine!"
jiù xiàng wài jiè yǒu wú shù shuāng chóng quán ， zài bù tíng chuí dǎ 。 měi bèi hōng jī yī cì ， nóng hòu bái wù jiù biàn dé tòu míng jǐ fēn 。
就像外界有无数双重拳，在不停捶打。每被轰击一次，浓厚白雾就变得透明几分。
"But... this new god is not in its perfect state," Lian Xuan thought as his eyes narrowed.
hěn kuài ， yuán běn yǐ jīng xiāo shī de bái wù zhī wài ， jìng zài dù biàn dé yī xī kě jiàn 。
很快，原本已经消失的白雾之外，竟再度变得依稀可见。
All things originated from the gods.
Even without considering him, silver辉 and pale had yet to return to the divine realm.
ér hòu ……
而后……
And the nutrient vortex that hadn't been fully absorbed by the divine...
yī zhī jù dà ér bīng lěng wú qíng de yǎn jīng ， zhòu rán chū xiàn zài bái wù biān yuán 。
一只巨大而冰冷无情的眼睛，骤然出现在白雾边缘。
"The new god I saw in the previous life was truly a semi-divine being."
mù guāng lěng mò de ， jǐn jǐn dīng zhe bái wù zhōng guī suō lǐ fán 。
目光冷漠的，紧紧盯着白雾中龟缩李凡。
"Compared to the former division of true deities, there is still a huge gap."
zhè yī kè ， lǐ fán xīn zàng dōu hǎo sì bèi rén niē zhù 。 yīn jí dù jīng jù ， ér zhàn lì téng tòng 。
这一刻，李凡心脏都好似被人捏住。因极度惊惧，而战栗疼痛。
"It might not be a match for Xing."
dà nǎo gèng shì yí piàn kòng bái 。
大脑更是一片空白。
"The new god likely knows this and resorted to such low-level tactics as feigning death to attract these four dots and complete its true transformation."
méi yǒu le tā zuò wéi zhǔ xīn gǔ ， bái wù tòu míng huà de qū shì ， gèng jiā míng xiǎn le 。
没有了他作为主心骨，白雾透明化的趋势，更加明显了。
"But it failed."
jìng yǒu le zhú jiàn sàn qù de jì xiàng ！
竟有了逐渐散去的迹象！
"So much luck. A mere semi-divine being almost tore through the True-False White Mist. If it were a true deity..."
“ bú duì ！ tā bìng méi yǒu fā xiàn wǒ ！”
“不对！祂并没有发现我！”
"Even so, it would not be easily defeated by ordinary means of a common sage."
shēng sǐ biān yuán ， duǎn zàn de dāi zhì zhī hòu 。 qiú shēng běn néng shǐ de lǐ fán de sī xù chóng xīn huī fù le yùn zhuàn 。
生死边缘，短暂的呆滞之后。求生本能使得李凡的思绪重新恢复了运转。
"I nearly thought the True-False White Mist was about to be torn apart."
yī shùn wàn wàn niàn ， sī lù shèn zhì bǐ qǐ xún cháng shí hòu hái yào mǐn jié 。
一瞬万万念，思路甚至比起寻常时候还要敏捷。
Lian Xuan's mind seemed to reappear the new god's merciless gaze.
“ xiān qián wǒ rù xīn shén shì xiàn ， shén niàn wǎn ruò zāo shòu zhuàng jī ， zhěng gè rén dōu hūn jué guò qù 。”
“先前我入新神视线，神念宛若遭受撞击，整个人都昏厥过去。”
Even in his imagination, he felt his heart race. But Lian Xuan was no longer the one who would be frightened by a cat spirit.
“ nà hái shì xīn shén wěi zhuāng chéng shī tǐ zhī shí 。 xiàn rú jīn ， xīn shén zhī mù tiē de rú cǐ zhī jìn ， wǒ què zhǐ shì duǎn zàn dà nǎo yí piàn kòng bái ？”
“那还是新神伪装成尸体之时。现如今，新神之目贴的如此之近，我却只是短暂大脑一片空白？”
With a calm mind, he expelled the influence of the new god.
“ kòng bái hái shì yīn wèi xīn zhōng kǒng jù ér shēng ， bìng fēi lái zì wài jiè xīn shén de yǐng xiǎng 。”
“空白还是因为心中恐惧而生，并非来自外界新神的影响。”
"True-False White Mist..."
zhuǎn shùn jiān ， lǐ fán míng bái le guò lái 。
转瞬间，李凡明白了过来。
"True-False Transformation."
yīn wèi hái zhēn bái wù de zhē yǎn ， bié kàn xīn shén zhī mù jù lí rú cǐ zhī jìn ， què yě réng rán méi yǒu fā xiàn qí zhōng yǐn cáng de tā 。
因为还真白雾的遮掩，别看新神之目距离如此之近，却也仍然没有发现其中隐藏的他。
A thought arose as a branch appeared in his palm, created purely through True-False Transformation. He tightly gripped it and observed it with divine sense, noting every detail.
bìng fēi shén kàn jiàn le tā 。
并非神看见了他。
Lian Xuan began to recall his past glories.
ér shì tā kàn jiàn le shén 。
而是他看见了神。
Though still just fleeting glimpses of events like a flowing river, the act of recalling them made him feel as if he had truly returned to that time.
“ yuán lái wǒ bìng méi yǒu bèi fā xiàn 。”
“原来我并没有被发现。”
His strength and confidence grew with each moment.
cǐ niàn jì shēng ， jīng jù zì xiāo 。
此念既生，惊惧自消。
"I think this branch should be more real."
bái wù shà shí jiān ， zài dù hòu shí qǐ lái 。
白雾霎时间，再度厚实起来。
With this thought, Lian Xuan noticed the branch in his hand seemed truer!
duǎn duǎn shí jiān nèi ， bō zhé héng shēng 。 ér suí zhe lǐ fán xīn tài biàn huà ， hái zhēn bái wù tóng shí xiāng yìng de gǎi biàn ， zì rán yě bèi tā chá jué 。
短短时间内，波折横生。而随着李凡心态变化，还真白雾同时相应的改变，自然也被他察觉。
Not just a feeling but a tangible increase in the duration it could persist without disintegrating.
“ zhēn jiǎ zhī biàn ， jìng rán rú cǐ 。”
“真假之变，竟然如此。”
"If I rely solely on my True-False Transformation, this branch would last..."
ruò yǒu suǒ wù ， lǐ fán pán zuò ， wú shì rú rì gāo xuán 、 shén zhī dú mù 。
若有所悟，李凡盘坐，无视如日高悬、神之独目。
"Up to a thousand years."
nǎo hǎi zhōng jìn lì huí xiǎng qǐ ， céng jīng zì jǐ de fēng gōng wěi jì 。
脑海中尽力回想起，曾经自己的丰功伟绩。
"But with the driving force of past me..."
“ shān hǎi zhū shèng ， nǎi zhì xīn shén 。 dōu céng zài wǒ yī niàn zhī xià huí sù 。”
“山海诸圣，乃至新神。都曾在我一念之下回溯。”
"It might even last ten thousand years?"
“ wú lùn jīn cì ， jiū jìng shì shuí duó de shén wèi ……”
“无论今次，究竟是谁夺得神位……”
Lian Xuan was surprised. A simple mental enhancement had increased the effectiveness of True-False Transformation by more than ten times!
“ yī rán wú fǎ miǎn chú cǐ zhǒng sù mìng 。”
“依然无法免除此种宿命。”
This was something he discovered during the crisis when the new god nearly tore through the True-False White Mist in his previous life.
“ zhēn 、 yì 、 jiǎ ！”
“真、亦、假！”
The confirmation brought him a sense of excitement and pride.
lǐ fán shuāng mù píng jìng ， yōu jù jìn shù tuì qù 。
李凡双目平静，忧惧尽数退去。
"Could this be called borrowing power from past me?"
shèng xià biàn shì jué duì de zì xìn 。
剩下便是绝对的自信。
Lian Xuan knew well how powerful his past self had been. He could reset sages, gods, even the solitary star with a single thought.
wù suí xīn dòng 。
雾随心动。
If he could borrow part of that power, it would be enough to handle divine battles effortlessly in the future.
yuè lái yuè duō de bái wù ， zì xū wú chǔ yǒng xiàn 。
越来越多的白雾，自虚无处涌现。
"Although... there are some side effects."
gǔn gǔn ér lái ， sù dù yù fā de kuài 。
滚滚而来，速度愈发的快。
A new sense of pain emerged from within his soul.
yī shí jiān ， jìng yǒu fēng shēng hū xiào 、 léi tíng zhèn zhèn 。
一时间，竟有风声呼啸、雷霆阵阵。
Lian Xuan's hand trembled slightly as he nearly dropped the newly created branch.
yī céng yòu yī céng ， jìng xiāng dié jiā 。
一层又一层，竞相迭加。
"Borrowing strength but not exceeding my limit."
shén zhī dú mù ， zhōng jiū zài yě kàn bú dào le 。
神之独目，终究再也看不到了。
"Otherwise..."
shén mù xiāo shī qián de zuì hòu yí kè ， nà shǐ zhōng píng jìng de yǎn jīng lǐ ， zhōng yú shǎn xiàn guò yī sī nù qì 。
神目消失前的最后一刻，那始终平静的眼睛里，终于闪现过一丝怒气。
"Injury might be irreversible." Lian Xuan realized.
ér hòu yǐn yǐn de nù hǒu zhī shēng ， sì hū zì bái wù wài ér lái 。
而后隐隐的怒吼之声，似乎自白雾外而来。
He needed to rest, but it was definitely worth it.
“ chéng le ！”
“成了！”
Borrowing power from past self wouldn't vanish. Instead, it would deepen his understanding of True-False Transformation and accelerate the revival of his memories.
gǎn jué dào wēi xiǎn lí qù ， jié hòu yú shēng de lǐ fán bù jīn zhǎng shū yì kǒu qì 。
感觉到危险离去，劫后余生的李凡不禁长舒一口气。
After a brief respite, when he revisited his past memories, time seemed to slow down, allowing him to see more details.
suí hòu cù bù jí fáng de ， yī zhèn xū ruò gǎn xí lái 。
随后猝不及防的，一阵虚弱感袭来。
"Past me's experiences are like a treasure trove as vast as the mountains and seas."
dùn jué tóu yūn mù xuàn ， xū ruò zhì jí 。
顿觉头晕目眩，虚弱至极。
"If used properly, it can quickly identify reliable allies."
fǎng fú shī qù le suǒ yǒu lì qì ， zhǐ néng rèn yóu zì jǐ bèi bái wù guǒ xié zhe qián xíng 。
仿佛失去了所有力气，只能任由自己被白雾裹挟着前行。
"Combined with various enlightenment..."
“ xiāo hào jìng rú cǐ jù dà ？”
“消耗竟如此巨大？”
But Lian Xuan did not rashly delve into these memories.
lǐ fán nǎo dài hūn hūn chén chén ， yǎn pí shì yǒu qiān jīn zhī zhòng 。
李凡脑袋昏昏沉沉，眼皮似有千斤之重。
After hiding in the Yellow-Black World for a century until his soul pain subsided, he opened the True-False interface.
yuán běn hái jì huà yī kuī hái zhēn qián hòu xì wēi biàn huà 。
原本还计划一窥还真前后细微变化。
"Starlight Rhythmic Brief."
què yě wú nài luò kōng 。
却也无奈落空。
The moment he made this choice, it seemed as if the sky of the Yellow-Black World dimmed.
zhǐ hūn shuì guò qù 。
只昏睡过去。
Not just the Yellow-Black World or Origin, but even the entire mountains and seas were affected.
……
……
A strange light spread across a dark background, pulsating rhythmically. It was like the heartbeat of a heart, or a gaze sweeping over everything.
Familiar white dots appeared amidst the swirling nutrient vortex, one of them particularly noticeable. The memories from earlier began to surface in his mind.
"Friend Daoist, have we met before?"
"Numerous heroes and virtuous sages in the mountains and seas, how can you possibly deceive all of us!"

"True-False Transformation is indeed annoying."
The True-False Transformation reset everything to its original state, but these two entities remained like blemishes, still faintly imprinted each time.
"They won't retain my complete memories from the previous life, but should have similar intuition."
"What about that new god?"
Lian Xuan felt a sudden worry. After careful consideration, his anxiety gradually dissipated.
"Having past intuitions isn't scary."
"The truly terrifying thing is divine power."
