xiǎo shì jiè hé xuán huáng jiè bú shì wèi yú tóng yī shí kōng ?
小世界和玄黄界不是位于同一时空?
Is the Small World and the Xuanhuang Realm not located in the same space-time?
qīng yī nǚ zǐ sì xiào fēi xiào dǎ liàng zhe lǐ fán de tóng shí , lǐ fán běn rén zé shì sī niàn jí zhuǎn 。
青衣女子似笑非笑打量着李凡的同时,李凡本人则是思念急转。
As the young woman in blue robes sized up Li Fan, his own thoughts raced.
shì zhēn , hái shì jiǎ ?
是真,还是假?
True or false?
shì shì tàn , hái shì biān zào huǎng yán dàng zuò tán pàn de chóu mǎ ?
是试探,还是编造谎言当做谈判的筹码?
A test, or a lie used as leverage for negotiation?
diàn guāng shí huǒ jiān , lǐ fán kuài sù fēn xī zhe 。
电光石火间,李凡快速分析着。
In an instant, Li Fan quickly analyzed the situation.
jiǎ shè duì fāng yǐ jīng fā xiàn le zì jǐ wán quán shì piàn zi de shēn fèn , nà me yīng dāng bú huì hái zài zhè lǐ duō fèi kǒu shé 、 jiě shì shén me 。
假设对方已经发现了自己完全是骗子的身份,那么应当不会还在这里多废口舌、解释什么。
If the other party had already discovered that he was completely a fraud, they would likely not waste words to explain anything. Instead, they would either run away directly or set a trap to capture and interrogate him.
zhí jiē xuǎn zé pǎo lù 、 yì huò shì shè fú jiāng zì jǐ zhuā bǔ 、 bī wèn , cái shì cháng lǐ 。
直接选择跑路、亦或是设伏将自己抓捕、逼问,才是常理。
This meant that the blue-robed woman still wasn't sure of his identity.
yě jiù shì shuō , hěn dà chéng dù shàng , zhè qīng yī nǚ zǐ mù qián hái chī bù zhǔn zì jǐ de shēn fèn 。
也就是说,很大程度上,这青衣女子目前还吃不准自己的身份。
After all, Xuanhuang Realm did indeed have a history where small worlds united to attack the cultivation realm.
bì jìng , xuán huáng jiè lì shǐ shàng céng jīng zhēn de fā shēng guò xiǎo shì jiè lián hé qǐ lái , fǎn gōng xiū xiān jiè de shì qíng 。
毕竟,玄黄界历史上曾经真的发生过小世界联合起来,反攻修仙界的事情。
If the Small World and Xuanhuang Realm were not in the same space-time, why didn’t the cultivators from Xuanhuang Realm choose to escape through the Immortal Desolation Passages to various small worlds and sever their ties with Xuanhuang?
ér xiǎo shì jiè hé xuán huáng jiè jiū jìng shì bú shì wèi yú tóng yī shí kōng , zì jǐ rú guǒ zhēn de shì 【 wàn jiè lián hé huì shǐ zhě 】, nà me jiù bù kě néng bù qīng chǔ 。
而小世界和玄黄界究竟是不是位于同一时空,自己如果真的是【万界联合会使者】,那么就不可能不清楚。
Even if some Foundation Establishment, Transcendence, or Union cultivators might lack the ability to cut off the passage due to insufficient cultivation essence in the Small World, for Eternal Heaven Sovereigns, these limitations could be largely ignored.
shì guān dì guó wèi lái de shēng sǐ , zhè wèi 【 shèng shī 】 yīng dāng bú huì biān zào yí gè zhè me róng yì bèi chuō pò de huǎng yán 。
事关帝国未来的生死,这位【圣师】应当不会编造一个这么容易被戳破的谎言。
So why didn’t they run away?
nà me , zhè yì wèi zhe tā suǒ shuō zhī huà , hěn yǒu kě néng jiù shì shì shí 。
那么,这意味着她所说之话,很有可能就是事实。
The answer was likely one of three: fear, unwillingness, or inability.
zuì qǐ mǎ , zài qīng yī nǚ zǐ yǎn zhōng shì shì shí 。
最起码,在青衣女子眼中是事实。
Fear?
yí gè wèn tí jiù zì rán ér rán de suí zhī chū xiàn le 。
一个问题就自然而然的随之出现了。
In his previous life, the Onehearted Heaven Sovereign faced the threat of a Soul Sealing Formation and chose to retreat. This showed that even Eternal Realm powerhouses could not survive in the Immortal Desolation.
jì rán xiǎo shì jiè hé xuán huáng jiè bú shì wèi yú tóng yī shí kōng , nà me zài miàn lín 【 xiān xū 】 de wēi xié shí , wèi hé xuán huáng jiè de yī zhòng xiū shì , bù xuǎn zé tōng guò xiān jué tōng dào táo wǎng gè gè xiǎo shì jiè , rán hòu qiē duàn hé xuán huáng jiè de lián xì ?
既然小世界和玄黄界不是位于同一时空,那么在面临【仙墟】的威胁时,为何玄黄界的一众修士,不选择通过仙绝通道逃往各个小世界,然后切断和玄黄界的联系?
Thus, this possibility was ruled out.
rú guǒ shuō yuán yīng 、 huà shén 、 hé dào xiū shì hái yǒu huì yǒu xiǎo shì jiè nèi líng qì bù zú 、 néng lì bù gòu wú fǎ zhǎn duàn tōng dào de kě néng 。
如果说元婴、化神、合道修士还有会有小世界内灵气不足、能力不够无法斩断通道的可能。
Unwillingness? A noble sacrifice, staying with Xuanhuang until the end?
nà me duì yú cháng shēng tiān zūn lái shuō , zhè xiē xiàn zhì dōu jī hū kě yǐ wú shì 。
那么对于长生天尊来说,这些限制都几乎可以无视。
Given the current path to enlightenment for cultivators in this world, it would not be a choice of these few Eternal Heaven Sovereigns.
suǒ yǐ wéi shén me cháng shēng tiān zūn men bù pǎo ?
所以为什么长生天尊们不跑?
That left only one answer: the Eternal Heaven Sovereigns could not leave Xuanhuang Realm.
zhè ge wèn tí de dá ān , wú fēi shì bù pà 、 bù xiǎng hé bù néng sān zhǒng 。
这个问题的答桉,无非是不怕、不想和不能三种。
The thought struck Li Fan as absurd and laughable.
bù pà ?
不怕?
Eternal Realm powerhouses were terrifyingly formidable. How could they...
shàng yī shì 【 yī xīn tiān zūn 】 miàn duì suǒ líng zhèn tóng guī yú jìn de wēi xié , xuǎn zé le tuì bì 。 zhè shuō míng , jí biàn shì cháng shēng jìng de qiáng zhě , yě wú fǎ zài xiān xū zhōng bǎo quán 。
上一世【一心天尊】面对锁灵阵同归于尽的威胁,选择了退避。这说明,即便是长生境的强者,也无法在仙墟中保全。
Suddenly, Li Fan paused in thought.
rú cǐ , kě pái chú zhè zhǒng kě néng 。
如此,可排除这种可能。
What if this was true?
bù xiǎng ? dà yì lǐn rán , shēng sǐ bù lí 。 gēn zhe xuán huáng jiè yì qǐ zhuì luò xiān xū ?
不想?大义凛然,生死不离。跟着玄黄界一起坠落仙墟?
For a long time, Li Fan had wondered why defying the laws of heaven and earth could lead to immortality.
cóng rú jīn cǐ jiè xiū shì de chéng dào zhī lù lái kàn , zhè jué bú huì shì xiàn zài zhè jǐ wèi cháng shēng tiān zūn men de xuǎn zé 。
从如今此界修士的成道之路来看,这绝不会是现在这几位长生天尊们的选择。
Life on Earth was finite. Even legendary immortals only lived longer than ordinary beings.
nà me zhǐ shèng xià wéi yī de dá ān le 。
那么只剩下唯一的答桉了。
If there were anything truly deserving of "immortal" within Xuanhuang Realm, it might be the heavens themselves.
cháng shēng tiān zūn men , wú fǎ lí kāi xuán huáng jiè ?
长生天尊们,无法离开玄黄界?
Why did defying these laws allow for complete transformation?
zhè ge niàn tou fú qǐ de chà nà , lǐ fán de xīn zhōng zhǐ gǎn jué huāng dàn kě xiào 。
这个念头浮起的刹那,李凡的心中只感觉荒诞可笑。
To achieve co-eternity with heaven and earth through a cultivator's body?
cháng shēng jìng de qiáng zhě men , shí lì hé qí kě bù 。
长生境的强者们,实力何其可怖。
"Law of Heaven, defiance of Law of Heaven..."
zěn me kě néng ……
怎么可能……
A scene flashed in his mind. In his previous life, Ji Hongdao had said to Senior Sister Zhao: "After the Sovereign establishes a law, they should no longer engage in mundane disputes."
lǐ fán què hū de wēi wēi lèng zhù 。
李凡却忽的微微愣住。
"Law."
jiǎ rú 、 jiǎ rú zhè shì zhēn de ne ?
假如、假如这是真的呢?
These two words were like lightning, clearing the fog.
yì zhí yǐ lái , lǐ fán dōu yǒu gè yí wèn 。
一直以来,李凡都有个疑问。
They made Li Fan notice something he had long overlooked.
wèi shén me nì tiān dì zhī lǐ , jiù néng dé zhèng cháng shēng ?
为什么逆天地之理,就能得证长生?
Life on Earth was blissful and carefree.
shì jiān shēng líng , mìng yǒu zhōng jǐn 。
世间生灵,命有终尽。
Life on Earth required adherence to the teachings of the Heaven Sovereigns for cultivation.
nǎ pà chuán wén zhōng de cháng shēng zhǒng , yě zhǐ shì huó de bǐ xún cháng shēng wù jiǔ yì diǎn bà le 。
哪怕传闻中的长生种,也只是活的比寻常生物久一点罢了。
These rules defying common sense now truly existed in this world.
rú guǒ shuō xuán huáng jiè nèi yǒu shén me néng gòu zhēn zhèng pèi dé shàng “ cháng shēng ” èr zì de , kǒng pà yě jiù shì tiān dì běn shēn ér yǐ 。
如果说玄黄界内有什么能够真正配得上“长生”二字的,恐怕也就是天地本身而已。
Therefore...
wèi hé nì tiān dì zhī lǐ , jiù néng wán chéng chè dǐ de tuì biàn 。
为何逆天地之理,就能完成彻底的蜕变。
After reversing the original laws of heaven and earth, the path to enlightenment for the Heaven Sovereigns became a new law of heaven and earth, becoming part of the world.
yǐ xiū shì zhī qū , hé tiān dì tóng shòu ?
以修士之躯,和天地同寿?
This is why they gained longevity comparable to that of the heavens.
“ tiān dì zhī lǐ 、 nì tiān dì zhī lǐ ……”
“天地之理、逆天地之理……”
And it was also because of this reason that the Eternal Heaven Sovereigns could not leave Xuanhuang Realm.
hū de , yí gè huà miàn shǎn guò lǐ fán de nǎo hǎi 。
忽的,一个画面闪过李凡的脑海。
Before the Eternal Realm, cultivators were like robbers entering a house. They took whatever they wanted—furniture and treasures.
shàng yī shì , jì hóng dào miàn duì zhào shī jiě de duō duō bī rén , céng shuō dào :“ tiān zūn 【 dìng lǐ 】 hòu , biàn bù yīng dāng zài cān yù sú shì zhī zhēng 。”
上一世,纪宏道面对赵师姐的咄咄逼人,曾说道:“天尊【定理】后,便不应当再参与俗事之争。”
But some greedy individuals coveted the house itself.
“ dìng lǐ 。”
“定理。”
They succeeded but triggered its ultimate countermeasure mechanism.
zhè èr zì wǎn ruò yī dào shǎn diàn , pī kāi mí wù 。
这二字宛若一道闪电,噼开迷雾。
The door slammed shut, and in becoming the owners of the house, they were forever trapped inside.
ràng lǐ fán zhù yì dào le , cháng jiǔ yǐ lái , tā yì zhí hū lüè de diǎn 。
让李凡注意到了,长久以来,他一直忽略的点。
"Is this heaven's retaliation?"
shì jiān shēng líng , wàng yōu ér lè 。
世间生灵,忘忧而乐。
Li Fan suddenly understood.
shì jiān shēng líng , xū zūn chuán fǎ tiān zūn xiū xíng zhī fǎ 。
世间生灵,需尊传法天尊修行之法。
Previously, he knew that facing cultivators who defied the heavens, the heavens themselves had some means to resist.
zhè xiē yǒu bèi yú cháng lǐ de guī zé , rú jīn zhēn shí cún zài yú tiān dì zhī jiān 。
这些有悖于常理的规则,如今真实存在于天地之间。
Apart from sudden new laws like Immortal Techniques cannot be practiced simultaneously and the descent of Heavenly Essence to fulfill its duties, the heavens chose extreme measures against powerful cultivators threatening their existence.
yě jiù shì shuō ……
也就是说……
That was "can't beat them, join them."
zài nì zhuǎn le yuán běn de tiān dì zhī lǐ hòu , tiān zūn men de chéng dào zhī lǐ , jiù qǔ ér dài zhī , chéng wéi le xīn de tiān dì zhī lǐ , huà zuò le shì jiè de yī bù fèn 。
在逆转了原本的天地之理后,天尊们的成道之理,就取而代之,成为了新的天地之理,化作了世界的一部分。
Indeed, this strategy proved effective.
zhèng shì yīn wèi zhè ge yuán yīn , tiān zūn men cái huò dé le hé tiān dì bān cháng yuǎn de shòu mìng 。
正是因为这个原因,天尊们才获得了和天地般长远的寿命。
After becoming an Eternal Heaven Sovereign, they changed from being cultivators to part of the heavens.
tóng yàng yě shì yīn wèi zhè ge yuán gù , cháng shēng tiān zūn men cái wú fǎ tuō lí xuán huáng jiè 。
同样也是因为这个缘故,长生天尊们才无法脱离玄黄界。
If cultivators defied the heavens without restraint, it might lead to the exhaustion and decline of the heavens.
cháng shēng jìng zhī qián , xiū shì men jiù xiàng shì jìn rù wū zi zhōng sì yì lüè duó de qiáng dào 。 wū nèi de jiā jù 、 zhēn bǎo , dōu bèi tā men chuāi jìn kǒu dài 。
长生境之前,修士们就像是进入屋子中肆意掠夺的强盗。屋内的家具、珍宝,都被他们揣进口袋。
To ensure their own safety, the already integrated Eternal Heaven Sovereigns had to act to prevent this.
dàn yǒu xiē tān dé wú yàn zhī bèi , dòng qǐ le zhè zuò wū zi běn shēn de zhù yì 。
但有些贪得无厌之辈,动起了这座屋子本身的注意。
Therefore, controlling the number of cultivators was necessary.
xiǎng yào jiū zhàn què cháo , bǎ fáng wū jù wéi jǐ yǒu 。
想要鸠占鹊巢,把房屋据为己有。
This was one reason why there couldn't be too many cultivators.
tā men shì chéng gōng le , dàn shì què jī fā le fáng wū de zhōng jí fǎn zhì jī zhì 。
他们是成功了,但是却激发了房屋的终极反制机制。
Li Fan recalled that in his previous life, the Ten Sects of Immortal Dao offered a reward for the Xuan Tian Treasure Mirror, promising any individual could gain an immortal position with just this mirror.
dà mén hōng rán guān bì , tā men chéng wéi le fáng wū zhǔ rén de tóng shí , què yě yǒng yuǎn de bèi guān zài le zhè jiān wū zi nèi 。
大门轰然关闭,他们成为了房屋主人的同时,却也永远的被关在了这间屋子内。
"Perhaps, ancient immortals also stole some of the original laws of immortality from heaven and earth."
“ zhè shì tiān dì de fǎn jī ?”
“这是天地的反击?”
Li Fan mused.
lǐ fán huò rán yǒu suǒ míng wù 。
李凡豁然有所明悟。
After such reasoning, Li Fan felt slightly disappointed.
zhī qián lǐ fán jiù míng bái yí gè dào lǐ 。
之前李凡就明白一个道理。
The Eternal Heaven Sovereigns in Xuanhuang Realm seemed to fall short of his ideal "immortality."
miàn duì lüè tiān duó dì de xiū shì men , tiān dì běn shēn bìng fēi wán quán méi yǒu fǎn kàng zhī lì 。
面对掠天夺地的修士们,天地本身并非完全没有反抗之力。
They merely borrowed the heavens' power for their own longevity.
chú le xiān fǎ bù kě tóng xiū zhè zhǒng tū rán dàn shēng de fǎ zé 、 yǐ jí tiān dì zhī pò jiàng shì , zhí xíng tiān zhí děng zhēn duì pǔ tōng xiū shì de shǒu duàn zhī wài 。
除了仙法不可同修这种突然诞生的法则、以及天地之魄降世,执行天职等针对普通修士的手段之外。
"Fake immortality..."
miàn duì qiáng dà dào zú yǐ wēi xié zì shēn de cháng shēng tiān zūn , tiān dì xuǎn zé le jí duān de yìng duì cuò shī 。
面对强大到足以威胁自身的长生天尊,天地选择了极端的应对措施。
"But strictly speaking, it's not something particularly hard to accept."
nà jiù shì “ dǎ bù guò 、 jiù lā rù huǒ ”。
那就是“打不过、就拉入伙”。
"After all, this world’s 'Eternal Realm' is just a last-ditch attempt by cultivators to extend their lives after the path to enlightenment in Xuanhuang was cut off."
bù dé bù shuō , zhè zhāo què shí yǒu xiào 。
不得不说,这招确实有效。
"And perhaps there's more that can be achieved."
yīn wèi dàng chéng jiù cháng shēng tiān zūn zhī hòu , tā men de zhèn yíng shēn fèn jiù cóng xiū shì biàn chéng le tiān dì 。
因为当成就长生天尊之后,他们的阵营身份就从修士变成了天地。
Li Fan thought of the transmission Heaven Sovereigns who had vanished in his previous life.
xiū shì lüè tiān duó dì , ruò shì méi yǒu jié zhì 。
修士掠天夺地,若是没有节制。
"This pioneer might have already broken free from the world’s constraints."
zuì zhōng kě néng huì dǎo zhì tiān dì kū jié 、 shuāi bài 。
最终可能会导致天地枯竭、衰败。
"No wonder, in my previous life, transmission Heaven Sovereigns didn’t appear for thousands of years. And despite frequent wars, the Five Elders Council's Heaven Sovereigns never intervened."
ér yǐ jīng hé shì jiè shí zé yī tǐ de cháng shēng tiān zūn men , wèi le zì shēn de ān wēi , jiù bì xū chū shǒu zǔ zhǐ zhè zhǒng shì qíng fā shēng 。
而已经和世界实则一体的长生天尊们,为了自身的安危,就必须出手阻止这种事情发生。
"Because to them, since Eternal Realm cultivators couldn't leave Xuanhuang, transmissions must still be somewhere."
suǒ yǐ xū yào rén wéi kòng zhì xiū shì fā zhǎn shù liàng 。
所以需要人为控制修士发展数量。
"They were merely held back by a written agreement."
zhè yě shì xiū shì de shù liàng bù kě tài duō de yuán yīn zhī yī 。
这也是修士的数量不可太多的原因之一。
"Only later did they realize something was amiss and rushed to test it themselves..."
lǐ fán yòu xiǎng dào , dāng chū xiān dào shí zōng xuán shǎng xuán tiān bǎo jìng 。
李凡又想到,当初仙道十宗悬赏玄天宝镜。
The effects of the Enlightenment Pill had not fully dissipated.
xuān chēng rèn yì yī rén , dān píng cǐ jìng , kě huàn yī xí cháng shēng guǒ wèi 。
宣称任意一人,单凭此镜,可换一席长生果位。
With a sudden insight, Li Fan deduced through the blue-robed woman's unintentional revelation, a possible truth about Xuanhuang Realm that fit logical facts.
Is the Small World and the Xuanhuang Realm not located in the same space-time?
As the young woman in blue robes sized up Li Fan, his own thoughts raced.
True or false?
A test, or a lie used as leverage for negotiation?
In an instant, Li Fan quickly analyzed the situation.
If the other party had already discovered that he was completely a fraud, they would likely not waste words to explain anything. Instead, they would either run away directly or set a trap to capture and interrogate him.
