“ gǎn jǐn bǎ zhè 【 yǒng héng yí niàn 】 tūn shì ， rán hòu hái zhēn pǎo lù ！”
“赶紧把这【永恒遗念】吞噬，然后还真跑路！”
"Quickly devour this [Eternal Remnant], then run for it!"
“ néng bèi fàng yú bó wù shén cáng guǎn zhōng yāng ， zhè tóu gǔ dìng rán shì jí wéi bù fán 。 sù sù jiāng qí yí niàn tūn shì ， dìng rán néng gǎo qīng chǔ qí zhōng yǐn cáng de mì mì ！”
“能被放于博物神藏管中央，这头骨定然是极为不凡。速速将其遗念吞噬，定然能搞清楚其中隐藏的秘密！”
"A skull placed in the central chamber of the Museum of Divine Treasures must be extraordinary. Swallow its remnant as swiftly as possible; you'll surely uncover the secrets hidden within!"
“ kuài dòng shǒu ！”
“快动手！”
"Hurry and act!"
“ ná le jiù zǒu ， shuí yě lán bú zhù nǐ ！”
“拿了就走，谁也拦不住你！”
"Take it and go, no one can stop you!"
【 hái zhēn 】 yuè lái yuè xiǎng de cuī cù yīn zhōng ， yí gè gè niàn tou yě qǐ cǐ bǐ fú de chū xiàn 。
【还真】越来越响的催促音中，一个个念头也起此彼伏的出现。
The increasingly urgent voice of [Truly Real] prompted a series of thoughts to arise.
tā men zài ěr biān bù duàn dī shēng sù shuō ， gǔ huò zhe lǐ fán 。
他们在耳边不断低声诉说，蛊惑着李凡。
They whispered in his ears, enticing Li Fan.
yǒu nà me yī shùn jiān ， lǐ fán zhēn de chà diǎn dòng xīn le ， jiù yào fù zhū xíng dòng 。
有那么一瞬间，李凡真的差点动心了，就要付诸行动。
For an instant, Li Fan almost succumbed. He was about to act on it.
bù guò zuì zhōng hái shì huái zhe jí qiáng de yì lì ， shēng shēng bǎ zhè gǔ chōng dòng gěi rěn le xià lái 。
不过最终还是怀着极强的毅力，生生把这股冲动给忍了下来。
But with great willpower, he managed to suppress this impulse.
tā huí xiǎng qǐ dāng chū xī shōu tiān yáng zhēn rén 【 yǒng héng yí niàn 】 shí de chǎng jǐng 。
他回想起当初吸收天阳真人【永恒遗念】时的场景。
He recalled the scene when he absorbed Eternal Remnant from Heavenly Yang True Man.
xiān shì gǎn dào zhōu wéi de kōng jiān biàn dé yǒu xiē xū huàn 。
先是感到周围的空间变得有些虚幻。
First, the surrounding space seemed somewhat illusory.
suí hòu tiān yáng de hái gǔ bèi fēn jiě chéng jīng yíng de bái guāng ， zhú jiàn bèi tā xī shōu 。
随后天阳的骸骨被分解成晶莹的白光，逐渐被他吸收。
Then, Heavenly Yang's bones decomposed into crystalline white light, gradually being absorbed by him.
nǎo hǎi zhōng hōng rán jù zhèn ， shī qù yì shí 。
脑海中轰然剧震，失去意识。
His mind was shaken violently; he lost consciousness.
zài sì hū qiè shēn jīng lì le tiān yáng màn cháng de yī shēng hòu ，【 hái zhēn 】 de tí shì zhōng yú chuán lái 。
在似乎切身经历了天阳漫长的一生后，【还真】的提示终于传来。
After seemingly experiencing Heavenly Yang's long life, [Truly Real]'s prompt finally came through.
zuì hòu yǒng héng yí niàn cái xī shōu wán bì 。
最后永恒遗念才吸收完毕。
Only after the Eternal Remnant was fully absorbed did Li Fan quickly make a judgment based on his past experiences.
gēn jù guò wǎng de jīng lì ， lǐ fán xùn sù zuò chū pàn duàn 。
根据过往的经历，李凡迅速做出判断。
Absorbing the Eternal Remnant would cause quite a commotion. Not only would it result in the disappearance of its host object, but the white light representing the Eternal Remnant would precisely mark him as the one who initiated this.
xī shōu yǒng héng yí niàn ， huì nào chū bù xiǎo de dòng jìng 。 bù jǐn huì zào chéng yí niàn jì tuō wù de xiāo shī ， dài biǎo 【 yǒng héng yí niàn 】 de bái guāng yě huì jīng què de jiāng zuò wéi shǐ zuò yǒng zhě de lǐ fán gěi biāo shì chū lái 。
吸收永恒遗念，会闹出不小的动静。不仅会造成遗念寄托物的消失，代表【永恒遗念】的白光也会精确的将作为始作俑者的李凡给标示出来。
The absorption of the Eternal Remnant wasn't instantaneous; it required time. During this process, he might momentarily lose consciousness due to the impact from the residual imprint of its owner.
yǒng héng yí niàn de xī shōu ， bìng bú shì zài shùn jiān wán chéng 。
永恒遗念的吸收，并不是在瞬间完成。
Realizing these points, Li Fan quickly made his decision.
ér shì xū yào yí dìng de shí jiān 。 bìng qiě zài zhè ge guò chéng zhōng ， shòu dào yí niàn zhǔ rén de cán cún yìn jì chōng jī yǐng xiǎng ， kě néng huì duǎn zàn de shī qù yì shí 。
而是需要一定的时间。并且在这个过程中，受到遗念主人的残存印记冲击影响，可能会短暂的失去意识。
This skull's Eternal Remnant cannot be absorbed!
yì shí dào yǐ shàng jǐ diǎn zhī hòu ， lǐ fán jiù xùn sù zuò chū le pàn duàn 。
意识到以上几点之后，李凡就迅速做出了判断。
If he forcibly took it without hesitation, it would be akin to seeking death!
zhè tóu gǔ de 【 yǒng héng yí niàn 】， bù néng xī shōu ！
这头骨的【永恒遗念】，不能吸收！
Don't look at how empty and unprotected the surroundings seem around this skull.
ruò shì bù gù yī qiè ， qiáng xíng xī qǔ ， gēn zì xún sǐ lù wú yì ！
若是不顾一切，强行吸取，跟自寻死路无异！
But where is this?
bié kàn zhe tóu gǔ zhōu wéi kōng dàng dàng de ， yī fù wán quán bù shè fáng de yàng zi 。
别看着头骨周围空荡荡的，一副完全不设防的样子。
The headquarters of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance. The Museum of Divine Treasures, which houses countless treasures. Its core area.
kě zhè lǐ shì shén me dì fāng ？
可这里是什么地方？
Would there not be hidden protective measures here?
wàn xiān méng zǒng bù 。
万仙盟总部。
It was sheer folly.
shōu cáng yǒu wú shù zhēn bǎo de 【 bó wù shén cáng guǎn 】。
收藏有无数珍宝的【博物神藏馆】。
Li Fan was certain that if he greedily absorbed the Eternal Remnant with a clouded mind, the next moment would bring him numerous traps and subsequent capture for study.
shén cáng guǎn zhōng de zuì hé xīn qū yù 。
神藏馆中的最核心区域。
...
zhè lǐ huì méi yǒu àn cáng de fáng hù cuò shī ？
这里会没有暗藏的防护措施？
Perhaps, indeed, this skull might have no defenses at all. But...
jiǎn zhí huá tiān xià zhī dà jī 。
简直滑天下之大稽。
Li Fan wouldn't take such a risk.
lǐ fán què xìn ， ruò shì tā bèi lì yù xūn xīn ， shī le zhì de qiáng xíng xī shōu 【 yǒng héng yí niàn 】。
李凡确信，若是他被利欲熏心，失了智的强行吸收【永恒遗念】。
Because failure meant irreparable disaster.
xià yī chà nà ， děng dài tā de jiù shì wú shù jī guān jìn zhì jiā shēn ， suí hòu bèi zhuō ná yán jiū 。
下一刹那，等待他的就是无数机关禁制加身，随后被捉拿研究。
And based on [Truly Real]'s previous hints, every time he found another carrier of the Eternal Remnant after its initial absorption, he could absorb it and reuse it.
huò xǔ ， dí què yǒu nà me yī sī kě néng ， zhè chù tóu gǔ zhēn de méi yǒu rèn hé fáng hù 。
或许，的确有那么一丝可能，这处头骨真的没有任何防护。
Its essence was no different from the transformation stones in Yi Yin's tomb; they were items that could be repeatedly obtained.
dàn ……
但……
What finally convinced Li Fan to completely abandon the idea of absorbing this Eternal Remnant was that [Truly Real] couldn't be bound as a True Technique.
lǐ fán bú huì qù dǔ 。
李凡不会去赌。
After using [Truly Real], he couldn't bring it back. It was destined to be a futile endeavor with high risks.
yīn wèi yí dàn shī bài ， jiù yì wèi zhe wàn jié bù fù 。
因为一旦失败，就意味着万劫不复。
...
ér yǒng héng yí niàn zhè dōng xī ， gēn jù zhī qián 【 hái zhēn 】 de tí shì 。
而永恒遗念这东西，根据之前【还真】的提示。
Having梳理ed all known information and rationally considered his options, Li Fan should have completely abandoned the idea of absorbing this Eternal Remnant here.
měi yī cì chóng xīn lái guò hòu ， dāng lǐ fán zài cì zhǎo dào 【 yǒng héng yí niàn 】 de zài tǐ hòu ， dōu kě yǐ jiāng qí xī shōu hòu kě yǐ jiē zhe chóng fù shǐ yòng 。
每一次重新来过后，当李凡再次找到【永恒遗念】的载体后，都可以将其吸收后可以接着重复使用。
But its strong appeal to Truly Real made the rational barrier almost impervious.
tā de běn zhì ， hé yī yǐn mù zhōng de huà dào shí bìng méi yǒu shén me qū bié ， dōu shì kě yǐ chóng fù huò dé de wù pǐn ér yǐ 。
它的本质，和伊尹墓中的化道石并没有什么区别，都是可以重复获得的物品而已。
The Xuanhuang Refining Heart Great Mortar spun wildly as Li Fan desperately suppressed his burgeoning desires.
chè dǐ ràng lǐ fán duàn jué xī shōu niàn tou de ， zé shì 【 yǒng héng yí niàn 】 yā gēn bù kě zuò wéi hái zhēn bǎng dìng wù pǐn 。
彻底让李凡断绝吸收念头的，则是【永恒遗念】压根不可作为还真绑定物品。
Thus, he requested that丙寅 take him to rest and stay away from this skull.
hái zhēn zhī hòu ， què wú fǎ jiāng qí dài huí 。
还真之后，却无法将其带回。
丙寅 nodded in understanding and even offered to support Li Fan, masking his abnormality while distracting him.
mào zhe jí gāo fēng xiǎn ， zhù dìng zhǐ shì zhú lán dǎ shuǐ yī cháng kōng 。
冒着极高风险，注定只是竹篮打水一场空。
"Senior丙寅, you mentioned earlier that the skull was placed at the center by the head of the Museum of Divine Treasures?" Li Fan asked, picking up a topic.
……
……
"Yes, indeed. It's peculiar. The museum is filled with countless treasures, but for some reason, our leader has a special fondness for it,"丙寅 replied.
jiāng yǐ zhī xìn xī shū lǐ wán bì ， lǐ zhì kǎo liáng xià ， lǐ fán běn yīng chè dǐ pāo què xī shōu cǐ chù 【 yǒng héng yí niàn 】 de xiǎng fǎ 。
将已知信息梳理完毕，理智考量下，李凡本应彻底抛却吸收此处【永恒遗念】的想法。
"Perhaps this head of the museum can also sense its remnant," Li Fan thought to himself.
dàn shì tā duì hái zhēn de xī yǐn lì shì rú cǐ qiáng liè 。
但是它对还真的吸引力是如此强烈。
He continued out loud, "I wonder who the head of the museum is; I've never heard of him."
lǐ zhì zhù chéng de gāo qiáng ， gēn běn shì bù kān yī jī 。
理智筑成的高墙，根本是不堪一击。
丙寅 smiled. "That's normal. The head keeps a low profile and acts discreetly. Even we, as guides, find it hard to see him."
xuán huáng liàn xīn dà mò pán fēng kuáng zhuǎn dòng ， lǐ fán sǐ sǐ yā zhì zhù bù duàn yǒng chū de yù niàn 。
玄黄炼心大磨盘疯狂转动，李凡死死压制住不断涌出的欲念。
"But if you consider seniority, there might not be many in the current Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance who would claim they are above the head,"丙寅 said proudly.
yú shì qǐng qiú jiě shuō yuán bǐng yín dài zì jǐ qù xiū xī ， yuǎn lí zhè ge tóu gǔ 。
于是请求解说员丙寅带自己去休息，远离这个头骨。
"Oh?" Li Fan was intrigued.
bǐng yín diǎn tóu biǎo shì lǐ jiě ， gèng shì hǎo xīn de chān fú zhe lǐ fán 。
丙寅点头表示理解，更是好心的搀扶着李凡。
丙寅 lowered his voice slightly: "The head has been alive since ancient times, long before humanity's rise. He has seen everything in this world and is considered omniscient."
wèi le yǎn shì zì shēn de yì cháng ， tóng shí yě wèi le fēn sàn zhù yì lì 。
为了掩饰自身的异常，同时也为了分散注意力。
His admiration for the old curator was evident.
lǐ fán zhǔ dòng tiāo qǐ huà tí ：“ bǐng yín qián bèi ， gāng gāng tīng nǐ shuō ， nà kē tóu gǔ ， shì shén cáng guǎn zhǔ zhǐ dìng fàng zài zhōng yāng wèi zhì de ？”
李凡主动挑起话题：“丙寅前辈，刚刚听你说，那颗头骨，是神藏馆主指定放在中央位置的？”
But Li Fan felt a familiar ring to these words.
“ shì a ， qí guài de hěn 。 guǎn zhōng zhēn bǎo qiān qiān wàn wàn ， yě bù zhī wèi hé guǎn zhǔ dà rén duì tā tè bié qīng lài 。” bǐng yín huí dá dào 。
“是啊，奇怪的很。馆中珍宝千千万万，也不知为何馆主大人对它特别青睐。”丙寅回答道。
"He is the symbol of immortality and wisdom; we call him [Third Emperor Sage],"丙寅 said slowly.
“ kàn lái huò xǔ zhè wèi guǎn zhǔ dà rén ， yě néng chá jué dào qí shàng yùn hán de yí niàn 。” lǐ fán àn zì sī cǔn dào 。
“看来或许这位馆主大人，也能察觉到其上蕴含的遗念。”李凡暗自思忖道。
Li Fan's expression changed, thinking: "Third Emperor... Tani?"
zuǐ lǐ què shùn kǒu wèn dào ：“ bù zhī guǎn zhǔ shì wàn xiān méng nèi nǎ wèi qián bèi ？ sì hū cóng lái méi tīng shuō guò 。”
嘴里却顺口问道：“不知馆主是万仙盟内哪位前辈？似乎从来没听说过。”
丙寅 didn't notice Li Fan's change. He continued talking about how knowledgeable and wise this old curator was.
bǐng yín xiào le xiào ：“ nǐ bù zhī dào yě shì zhèng cháng 。 guǎn zhǔ tā lǎo rén jiā shēn jū jiǎn chū ， xiàng lái dī diào xíng shì 。 biàn shì wǒ men zhè xiē jiě shuō yuán ， xiǎng yào jiàn tā yí miàn yě shì bù róng yì 。”
丙寅笑了笑：“你不知道也是正常。馆主他老人家深居简出，向来低调行事。便是我们这些解说员，想要见他一面也是不容易。”
After arriving at the rest area, he still seemed unsatisfied.
“ bù guò ruò shì pái zī lùn bèi ， dāng jīn wàn xiān méng ， pà shì yě méi yǒu jǐ wèi gǎn shuō zì jǐ zài guǎn zhǔ zhī shàng 。”
“不过若是排资论辈，当今万仙盟，怕是也没有几位敢说自己在馆主之上。”
But seeing Li Fan's poor condition, he stopped politely.
bǐng yín yǒu xiē zì háo dì shuō dào 。
丙寅有些自豪地说道。
"You can rest assured here."
“ ó ？” lǐ fán bù jīn yǒu xiē hào qí 。
“哦？”李凡不禁有些好奇。
"The Museum of Divine Treasures is vast; it won't be fully explored in a short time."
bǐng yín jiāng shēng yīn yā dī jǐ dù ：“ guǎn zhǔ tā lǎo rén jiā ， kě shì zì cóng yáo yuǎn de huāng gǔ nián dài jiù cún yú shì jiān le 。 nà kě shì rén zú hái wèi xīng shèng de jiǔ yuǎn guò qù 。”
丙寅将声音压低几度：“馆主他老人家，可是自从遥远的荒古年代就存于世间了。那可是人族还未兴盛的久远过去。”
"This place is specifically designed for visitors to relax without fear of disturbance,"丙寅 said, leaving after giving instructions and watching Li Fan recover.
“ shì jiān yī qiè shì wù ， jī hū dōu táo bù guò tā de fǎ yǎn 。 kān chēng wú suǒ bù zhī ， wú suǒ bù xiǎo 。”
“世间一切事物，几乎都逃不过他的法眼。堪称无所不知，无所不晓。”
Li Fan used the control jade token to activate the seal, completely isolating the rest area.
bǐng yín de chóng bài zhī qíng yì yú yán biǎo 。
丙寅的崇拜之情溢于言表。
Deep within the secret chamber, the strange skull vanished from his perception. His trembling body gradually calmed down.
lǐ fán què jué de duì fāng de shuō cí yǒu diǎn shú xī 。
李凡却觉得对方的说辞有点熟悉。
As if after a battle, Li Fan felt utterly drained.
“ tā shì cháng shēng 、 zhì huì de xiàng zhēng 。 wǒ men zūn chēng tā wèi 【 dì sān xiān wēng 】。” bǐng yín huǎn huǎn shuō dào 。
“他是长生、智慧的象征。我们尊称他为【帝叁仙翁】。”丙寅缓缓说道。
His already aged body was further weakened.
lǐ fán shén sè yǒu xiē yì yàng ， xīn zhōng àn dào ：“ dì sān …… mò ？”
李凡神色有些异样，心中暗道：“帝叁……貘？”
"Eternal Remnant..."
bǐng yín què shì méi yǒu chá jué dào lǐ fán de biàn huà ， yī rán tāo tāo bù jué de xiàng lǐ fán chǎn shù zhe ， zhè wèi lǎo guǎn zhǎng ， shì duō me de bó xué yǔ zhì huì 。
丙寅却是没有察觉到李凡的变化，依然滔滔不绝的向李凡阐述着，这位老馆长，是多么的博学与智慧。
The calm Li Fan pondered why [Truly Real] had such an unusual desire.
liǎng rén lái dào xiū xī shì hòu ， tā réng rán yǒu xiē yì yóu wèi jǐn 。
两人来到休息室后，他仍然有些意犹未尽。
Humans feel hunger because they need to eat and replenish the energy needed for survival. But even [Truly Real] wanted to eat.
bù guò kàn dào lǐ fán zāo gāo de shēn tǐ zhuàng kuàng hòu ， hái shì shí qù de zhǐ zhù le 。
不过看到李凡糟糕的身体状况后，还是识趣的止住了。
This could only mean that something useful for [Truly Real] was obtainable from the Eternal Remnant.
“ nǐ jǐn guǎn fàng xīn zài cǐ xiū xī 。”
“伱尽管放心在此休息。”
Setting aside the skull in the Museum of Divine Treasures, what else would Heavenly Yang's remnant provide?
“ bó wù shén cáng guǎn tài guò guǎng kuò ， yī shí bàn huì kě cān guān bù wán 。”
“博物神藏馆太过广阔，一时半会可参观不完。”
"Special: Eternal Remnant (Heavenly Yang) (Usable 1 time)"
“ zhè lǐ jiù shì zhuān mén wèi yóu kè dǎ zào de xiū qì chǎng suǒ ， bù yòng dān xīn bié rén dǎ rǎo 。”
“这里就是专门为游客打造的休憩场所，不用担心别人打扰。”
Li Fan decided after looking at the information on his [Truly Real] panel.
bǐng yín jiāo dài le yī fān hòu ， kàn zhe lǐ fán zhú jiàn huī fù guò lái ， zhè cái liú xià le kòng zhì yù pái ， fàng xīn lí qù 。
丙寅交代了一番后，看着李凡逐渐恢复过来，这才留下了控制玉牌，放心离去。
From his storage ring, he took out materials to set up a ritual for entering the Realm of Annihilation as a distraction.
lǐ fán cāo zòng yù pái ， fā dòng jìn zhì ， jiāng xiū xī shì chè dǐ fēng bì 。
李凡操纵玉牌，发动禁制，将休息室彻底封闭。
Li Fan then used his last opportunity with Eternal Remnant and activated its simulation function.
shēn chù mì shì zhī zhōng ， nà méi guǐ yì de tóu gǔ yě xiāo shī zài le gǎn zhī fàn wéi zhī nèi ， tā bú zhù chàn dǒu de shēn qū zhōng yú huǎn huǎn píng fù xià lái 。
深处密室之中，那枚诡异的头骨也消失在了感知范围之内，他不住颤抖的身躯终于缓缓平复下来。
A dizzying sensation followed.
wǎn ruò dà zhàn zhī hòu ， lǐ fán zhǐ gǎn dào shēn tǐ de xū tuō 。
宛若大战之后，李凡只感到身体的虚脱。
"Yang Heavenly, it's time to take your medicine..."
běn jiù shuāi lǎo de shēn qū ， cǐ kè gèng shì xuě shàng jiā shuāng 。
本就衰老的身躯，此刻更是雪上加霜。
Master Light Yang's voice echoed in Li Fan's ears.
“ yǒng héng yí niàn ……”
“永恒遗念……”
There are still 4000 words left for the next chapter.
píng jìng xià lái de lǐ fán ， sī suǒ zhe 【 hái zhēn 】 rú cǐ yì cháng de yuán yīn 。
平静下来的李凡，思索着【还真】如此异常的原因。
(End of Chapter)
"Quickly devour this [Eternal Remnant], then run for it!"
"A skull placed in the central chamber of the Museum of Divine Treasures must be extraordinary. Swallow its remnant as swiftly as possible; you'll surely uncover the secrets hidden within!"
"Hurry and act!"
"Take it and go, no one can stop you!"

The increasingly urgent voice of [Truly Real] prompted a series of thoughts to arise.
