“ shàng yī shì zài jí jiāng jiàng lín zhēn shén miàn qián zǒu le yī zāo ， chú le 【 zhēn jiǎ dà dào 】 zhī wài ， wǒ yǐ yī wú suǒ yǒu 。”
“上一世在即将降临真神面前走了一遭，除了【真假大道】之外，我已一无所有。”
"Previously, I only partially browsed through it. Now, it's a full inheritance."
“ bù guò ……”
“不过……”
After sitting for a long time, Li Fan finally completely digested his past self's memories.
“ wèn tí bù dà 。”
“问题不大。”
Apart from countless cycles of reincarnation experiences, there were also insights into the myriad paths of the Sea and Mountains.
lǐ fán kàn xiàng hái zhēn miàn bǎn 。
李凡看向还真面板。
"This is the foundation upon which True Real can operate. It is the reason why True Real can be realized."
jiù xiàng shì dì yī cì zhǎn kāi bān 。
就像是第一次展开般。
Although these were all Li Fan's own memories and insights, when he inherited them now, he felt a certain barrier.
bù zài shì yī qí yuè rù shì yě ， ér shì yí gè gè zì fú 、 xiān hòu bèng chū 。
不再是一齐跃入视野，而是一个个字符、先后蹦出。
"Past me was both myself and not myself."
xiàn ér bēng jiě ， fán fù nèi róng jǐn jiē bú jiàn ， zhǐ shèng xià liáo liáo jǐ xíng zì fú 。
现而崩解，繁复内容尽皆不见，只剩下寥寥几行字符。
"The past Li Fan truly fell into decline. Only by severing to such an extent could there be completely different possibilities for breaking the deadlock."
xìng míng ： lǐ fán 。
姓名：李凡。
Li Fan's heart was clear as he looked towards the beginning of the Sea and Mountains.
dào tú ： zhēn 、 jiǎ 。
道途：真、假。
"True and false paths are merely tools at hand. To truly break this deadlock, one still needs to seek a method to slay the gods."
dà dào guī zhēn ：
大道归真：
"The insights gleaned from the [Gods' Chronicles] were too vague. There should be more clues during the time when the Sea and Mountains separated."
……
……
"Follow the predetermined plan and go against the flow towards the beginning of the Sea and Mountains."
dào tú nà yī lán ， zhēn jiǎ èr zì rú hū xī bān shǎn shuò bù dìng ， fǎng fú zhī cǐ liǎng zì biàn náng kuò shì jiān yī qiè fǎ 、 yī qiè wù 。
道途那一栏，真假二字如呼吸般闪烁不定，仿佛只此两字便囊括世间一切法、一切物。
"A thousand years of history, even with my current cultivation, is a very long journey. I'll proceed slowly."
ér yuán běn yǐ jīng chū jù guī mó de dà dào guī zhēn diàn táng ， rú jīn què shì kōng kōng rú yě 。
而原本已经初具规模的大道归真殿堂，如今却是空空如也。
"Once I arrive..."
dì yī xuán pìn 、 dì èr zhòu huí děng děng céng jīng bǔ huò dà dào ， jiē xiāo shī bú jiàn 。
第一玄牝、第二宙廻等等曾经捕获大道，皆消失不见。
"...perhaps truly fusing and absorbing will complete most of it."
shàng yī shì mò wěi ， wèi le yàn zhèng zhēn jiǎ dà dào lái yuán ， lǐ fán jié lì zhī chēng zhì suǒ néng jiān chí zuì hòu yí kè 。
上一世末尾，为了验证真假大道来源，李凡竭力支撑至所能坚持最后一刻。
Li Fan's thoughts turned slowly as his figure transformed into a thread, vanishing into the virtual world.
shén shì wàn wù 。
神噬万物。
The vastness of the virtual realm not only posed the danger of being devoured by Daoian but also the calamity of confusing past and present.
shèn zhì jiù lián hái zhēn dōu bèi zhī jiě fēn lí 。
甚至就连还真都被肢解分离。
This was the greatest obstacle for ordinary sages to cross and travel against the flow.
céng jīng yuán zì zhū shèng dào tú de gè xiàng gōng néng ， yǐ jí dà dào guī zhēn diàn táng zhōng zhū bān dà dào 。
曾经源自诸圣道途的各项功能，以及大道归真殿堂中诸般大道。
Li Fan did not know how Sun Piapo had managed to reach the beginning of the Sea and Mountains, step by step.
quán dōu bèi jí jiāng fù sū zhēn shén tūn mò 。
全都被即将复苏真神吞没。
But for him, traveling against the flow was no longer a difficult task.
hái zhēn zhě ， wéi yǒu lǐ fán yǐ jí zhēn jiǎ dà dào 。
还真者，唯有李凡以及真假大道。
The True and False transformation protected him from Daoian's harm.
dàn duì rú jīn lǐ fán ér yán ， dé zhēn jiǎ 、 biàn dé yī qiè 。
但对如今李凡而言，得真假、便得一切。
Through countless reincarnations, Li Fan had personally walked through every corner of the Sea and Mountains and even the virtual realm.
qí yú zhǒng zhǒng ， jiē bú zhòng yào 。
其余种种，皆不重要。
For others who found it hard to distinguish past and present, everything here felt familiar to Li Fan.
“ jiǎ yì zhēn ！”
“假亦真！”
He moved freely without hesitation.
lǐ fán dīng zhuó yǎn qián bù duàn shǎn shuò zì fú ， huí xiǎng qǐ shàng yī shì mò wěi nà guǒ xié zì jǐ de liǎng dào gū dú guāng huá ， yǐ jí céng jīng duì dà dào guī zhēn diàn táng zhōng zhū dào de lǐng wù 。
李凡盯着眼前不断闪烁字符，回想起上一世末尾那裹挟自己的两道孤独光华，以及曾经对大道归真殿堂中诸道的领悟。
Ignoring the conflicts between the Sea and Daoian, his only concern was the possible traces of Sun Piapo and Qiu Tianhui's whereabouts.
xīn zhōng yī dòng 。
心中一动。
Sure enough, he discovered faint signs of Sun Piapo's presence, further confirming her逆行事实.
ér hòu biàn wú zhōng shēng yǒu 。
而后便无中生有。
But strangely, Qiu Tianhui and his wife seemed to have vanished from the Sea and Mountains.
yī xíng xíng qī cǎi zì fú ， yú xū wú zhōng dàn shēng ， píng kōng shū xiě 。
一行行七彩字符，于虚无中诞生，凭空书写。
"Only their life threads remain, but no trace of them."
dì yī xuán pìn 、 dì èr zhòu huí ……
第一玄牝、第二宙廻……
"What do they seek as they move from the end of the Sea and Mountains to its beginning?"
yǐ jí bǐ àn zhū shèng dào tú ， jìn shù zài liè 。
以及彼岸诸圣道途，尽数在列。
As the creator of Qiu Xinhui, Qiu Tianhui could vaguely sense Li Fan's True Real existence. Perhaps Qiu Tianhui and his wife had also sensed it.
kòng bái yī piàn de dà dào diàn táng ， zhuǎn shùn jiān yòu biàn dé zhū dào lín lì 、 yì yì shēng huī qǐ lái 。
空白一片的大道殿堂，转瞬间又变得诸道林立、熠熠生辉起来。
"The Mountain and Sea Reunion Plan... It is useless for saving the world. They should be aware of this."
gēn xiān qián lǐ fán suǒ zhǎng ， bìng wú qū bié 。
跟先前李凡所掌，并无区别。
Li Fan continued his逆行, pondering as if he were a mere traveler of the Sea and Mountains, leaving no trace behind.
dàn yě méi yǒu chāo guò yuán běn cún zài jí xiàn 。
但也没有超过原本存在极限。
After an indeterminate amount of time, until...
lǐ fán yòu guān xiǎng 【 dào yī shān hǎi tú 】。
李凡又观想【道一山海图】。
A step forward instantly seemed to cause dizziness.
zhǐ kě xī dào yī yīn yún yǒng dòng jiān ， shān hǎi tú suī dà zhì chéng xíng ， què wú fǎ wán měi fù xiàn yǒu shān hǎi wú jiè bēi shí de zuì qiáng zhuàng tài 。
只可惜道一阴云涌动间，山海图虽大致成型，却无法完美复现有山海无界碑时的最强状态。
The towering mountains and endless sea flowing together disappeared without a trace.
zuò zhèn shān hǎi tú zhōng ， shì bǐ xiān qián gèng jiā dàn bó xū wú de zhēn shén zhǐ 。
坐镇山海图中，是比先前更加淡薄虚无的真神指。
He found himself in a vast expanse.
ruò shì bù zǐ xì guān chá ， dōu nán yǐ chá jué qí cún zài 。
若是不仔细观察，都难以察觉其存在。
"Primordial Divine Realm."
“ zhēn jiǎ zhī biàn ， jù shì jiàn lì zài wǒ duì wàn shì wàn wù de rèn zhī zhī shàng 。 bù duàn lún huí zhōng ， wǒ duì shān hǎi dà dào de zhǎng wò ， yǐ jīng zú gòu zhī chēng wǒ yī niàn shēng zhī 。”
“真假之变，俱是建立在我对万事万物的认知之上。不断轮回中，我对山海大道的掌握，已经足够支撑我一念生之。”
Li Fan's eyes flashed with sharpness.
“ dàn ……”
“但……”
This was the initial stage when the Sea and Mountains merged, even including their attempts to stop his destiny.
“ zhēn shén zhǐ bù xíng 。”
“真神指不行。”
But it was interfered by the True God Finger, causing this world to be destroyed on its own.
zhēn shén fù sū qián nà màn tiān xīng huī huà miàn ， zài dù fú xiàn lǐ fán nǎo hǎi 。
真神复苏前那漫天星辉画面，再度浮现李凡脑海。
"Only the sages within vaguely sensed something, seeking temporary peace through cutting off future."
“ zòng shǐ jiàn shén ， yì nán yǐ zhī shén 。”
“纵使见神，亦难以知神。”
"The Primordial Sages..."
“ yǐ wǒ de lún huí jiàn wén ， xiǎng yào jiě xī shén ， hái yuǎn yuǎn bù gòu 。”
“以我的轮回见闻，想要解析神，还远远不够。”
"Hmph. They are all just cowards."
“ dàn céng jīng de wǒ ， huò xǔ kě yǐ 。”
“但曾经的我，或许可以。”
In countless cycles of reincarnation, Li Fan naturally had contact with these Primordial Sages.
lǐ fán xīn niàn yī dòng ， bèi yā zhì xǔ jiǔ de hái zhēn jì chéng xuǎn xiàng zhōng yú tiào le chū lái 。
李凡心念一动，被压制许久的还真继承选项终于跳了出来。
But none could become a comrade-in-arms.
zhí jiē lüè guò qián miàn suǒ yǒu ， diào dào zuì hòu yī xíng 。
直接略过前面所有，调到最后一行。
"Failing to compete for the gods and failing to save the world. They can only hide in this realm, fighting among themselves."
zhī qián cóng lái méi yǒu chū xiàn guò de ， quán xīn xuǎn xiàng 。
之前从来没有出现过的，全新选项。
Although Li Fan was disdainful, he did not underestimate them.
“【 zhū shén pǔ 】。”
“【诸神谱】。”
The Primordial Divine Realm seemed separated from the Sea and Mountains, with time and space frozen.
lǐ fán jǐn jǐn dīng zhe zhè sān gè zì ， què chí chí méi yǒu xuǎn zé 。
李凡紧紧盯着这三个字，却迟迟没有选择。
The internal conflicts of the sages had lasted for an unknown duration. All who survived here possessed divine potential; they just needed a chance.
xīn zhōng bù zhī wèi hé ， máo gǔ sǒng rán zhī yì ， cǐ qǐ bǐ fú 、 nán yǐ píng fù 。
心中不知为何，毛骨悚然之意，此起彼伏、难以平复。
Li Fan's two previous witnesses to new gods' births were proof.
“ zhū shén 。 zhè shì hé yì ？”
“诸神。这是何意？”
Looking up at the sky, he tried to gaze further into antiquity.
lǐ fán yǐ jīng zhī xiǎo ， hái zhēn shì guò qù tā wú shù cì lún huí de jì yì jīng yàn 、 yǐ jí zhū shèng dào tú 、 zhēn jiǎ zhī biàn de zǒng hé 。
李凡已经知晓，还真是过去他无数次轮回的记忆经验、以及诸圣道途、真假之变的总和。
But it seemed like something was blocking his view, making it impossible to see clearly.
“ zhū shén pǔ ， biàn shì céng jīng zhī wǒ ， zài mù dǔ fù sū zhēn shén zhī hòu ， suǒ chǎn shēng de gǎn wù 。 kě wèi hé ， shì zhū shén ？”
“诸神谱，便是曾经之我，在目睹复苏真神之后，所产生的感悟。可为何，是诸神？”
Wanting to step forward and go against the flow, he felt as if he had fallen into quicksand, unable to move.
lǐ fán bù yóu xiǎng qǐ le ， céng jīng suǒ jiàn guān yú chuàng shì shén de chuán wén 。
李凡不由想起了，曾经所见关于创世神的传闻。
"This is why there have been no conflicts over becoming gods among the Primordial Sages."
“ qiáng dà de chuàng shì shén ， jī bài le tā de tóng lèi 。 bìng chōu qǔ tā men de lì liàng ， yǎn huà shì jiān zhòng shēng ……”
“强大的创世神，击败了祂的同类。并抽取祂们的力量，衍化世间众生……”
"Before the Primordial Divine Realm lies the time when the Sea and Mountains separated."
“ wéi yī lái yuán jì zǎi ， biàn shì lái zì sūn piāo miǎo bǐ jì 。”
“唯一来源记载，便是来自孙缥缈笔记。”
"The Sea and Mountains naturally would not allow their creations to interfere. Thus they set this divine-civilian limit."
“ shān hǎi yù yán ， qí yú zhǒng zhǒng ， jiē yǐ jīng gēn wǒ suǒ guān shān hǎi duì shàng 。 wéi yǒu zhè guān yú chuàng shì shén de yī tiáo ， shǐ zhōng háo wú tóu xù 。”
“山海寓言，其余种种，皆已经跟我所观山海对上。唯有这关于创世神的一条，始终毫无头绪。”
"Severing time and space, cutting off causality."
lǐ fán yīn qíng bù dìng ， bìng méi yǒu zhí jiē xuǎn zé jì chéng 。
李凡阴晴不定，并没有直接选择继承。
Li Fan reached out with his hand, trying to break through the divine-civilian limit using the True and False method.
ér shì chóng xīn xiū xíng zhì shèng zhě jìng jiè ， zuì qǐ mǎ yǒu le yí dìng de zì bǎo néng lì zhī hòu ， cái zài dù diǎn kāi 。
而是重新修行至圣者境界，最起码有了一定的自保能力之后，才再度点开。
But at the moment of action, all the sages' gazes in the Primordial Divine Realm turned towards him!
hǎo sì xīng guāng zhòng huí dà dì 。
好似星光重回大地。
In the next instant, various divine techniques and powers rained down like a deluge.
yōu suì de hēi àn ， jiāng zhōu zāo suǒ yǒu tūn mò 。
幽邃的黑暗，将周遭所有吞没。
"Three Sages of Lianshan are here. And an old acquaintance [Suo]."
xuán huáng 、 yuán chù 、 shān hǎi ， jǐn jiē bù fù 。
玄黄、原处、山海，尽皆不复。
"Hmm, as well as [Hua], [Ding], [Liu]..."
shēn chù jué duì de xū wú zhōng ， lǐ fán zhǐ yǐn yuē chá jué dào ， zhōu wéi sì hū cún zài zhe mǒu xiē nán yǐ míng zhuàng de cún zài 。
身处绝对的虚无中，李凡只隐约察觉到，周围似乎存在着某些难以名状的存在。
Ripples of light danced before him, blocking all harm.
chāo chū le lǐ fán de lǐ jiě guān chá fàn chóu ， suǒ yǐ bù kě jiàn 、 bù kě zhī 。
超出了李凡的理解观察范畴，所以不可见、不可知。
Although he ignored the sages' attacks, Li Fan felt his energy being rapidly consumed.
dàn què kě gǎn jué dào hēi àn zhī zhōng suǒ fā shēng jù biàn 。
但却可感觉到黑暗之中所发生剧变。
The protective True and False path began to resonate.
háo wú zhēng zhào de ， qí zhōng yí gè bù kě míng zhuàng cún zài ， zhòu rán xiāo shī le 。
毫无征兆的，其中一个不可名状存在，骤然消失了。
Frowning slightly, Li Fan's figure became even more ethereal.
hǎo sì bèi shén me tū rán tūn shì diào yì bān 。
好似被什么突然吞噬掉一般。
He vanished from everyone's sight.
jiē xià lái ， biàn shì dì èr gè 、 dì sān gè 。
接下来，便是第二个、第三个。
Though a few divine thoughts could still track him, Li Fan repeatedly shifted, escaping from the sages' line of sight.
yuán běn “ zhū shén ”， sì hū jiù zhǐ shèng xià le zuì hòu de cún zài 。
原本“诸神”，似乎就只剩下了最后的存在。
"Firstly, the divine-civilian limit is a restriction left by the Sea and Mountains. It cannot be easily broken."
zhè yí mù ， zhèng gēn sūn piāo miǎo suǒ zài duì shàng 。
这一幕，正跟孙缥缈所载对上。
"Secondly, all the sages are on high alert. Any attempt to step into this realm will inevitably face an attack. The fewer potential rivals there are, the higher my chances of becoming a god."
lǐ fán dùn shí xīn yǒu suǒ wù ：“ sūn piāo miǎo kǒng pà shì cóng shān hǎi fēn shén zhī chū ， shān hǎi de sī xù zhōng kuī jiàn le zhè yí mù 。 gù ér xiě xià le chuàng shì shén zhū shā qí tā shén líng de yù yán 。”
李凡顿时心有所悟：“孙缥缈恐怕是从山海分神之初，山海的思绪中窥见了这一幕。故而写下了创世神诛杀其他神灵的寓言。”
"The conditions for breaking the deadlock have arrived. What is it?"
“ dàn ……”
“但……”
Li Fan, hidden in the shadows, quickly deduced based on his two lifetimes' experiences with creating gods.
lǐ fán wēi wēi zhòu méi ， zǒng jué de yǒu xiē nǎ xiē bú duì 。
李凡微微皱眉，总觉得有些哪些不对。
"Gods have been entangled for years, forming some kind of eerie balance."
“ cǐ shí ， bìng wú shān hǎi cún zài 。 shān hǎi yòu rú hé zhī xiǎo zhè yí mù chǎng jǐng ？”
“此时，并无山海存在。山海又如何知晓这一幕场景？”
"No one can overpower anyone else; no one can advance further."
wú biān de hēi àn ， bìng méi yǒu tùn qù 。
无边的黑暗，并没有褪去。
"It's like a stagnant pond."
shǐ zhōng yíng rào lǐ fán zuǒ yòu 。
始终萦绕李凡左右。
"Inaction means no change. At this moment, an external stone needs to be thrown in."
lǐ fán jiāng nèi xīn zhǒng zhǒng yí huò yā xià ， jìng dài jiē xià lái biàn huà 。
李凡将内心种种疑惑压下，静待接下来变化。
Li Fan's gaze flashed with a hint of light as he reappeared beside [Suo].
bǐ qǐ “ zhū shén ” xiāo shì suǒ hào fèi shí jiān jiā qǐ lái dōu zhǎng 。
比起“诸神”消逝所耗费时间加起来都长。
[Suo] had been touched by Li Fan several times before, his name recorded in the True Path of the Sea and Mountains.
yī dào wēi guāng hū de chū xiàn ， zhào liàng le zhè piàn bù kě zhī de shì jiè 。
一道微光忽的出现，照亮了这片不可知的世界。
He could not escape Li Fan's search.
ràng lǐ fán dé yǐ kuī jiàn hēi àn zhōng yǐn cáng mó hú huà miàn 。
让李凡得以窥见黑暗中隐藏模糊画面。
Innumerable black shadows swirled around, sensing Li Fan's presence. They ensnared him like a net.
"Previously, I only partially browsed through it. Now, it's a full inheritance."
After sitting for a long time, Li Fan finally completely digested his past self's memories.
Apart from countless cycles of reincarnation experiences, there were also insights into the myriad paths of the Sea and Mountains.
