“ zhè shì shén me qíng kuàng ？”
“这是什么情况？”
"What's going on?"
xīn shén jīng hài zhī xià ， lǐ fán de shuǐ jìng shù hōng rán pò suì 。
心神惊骇之下，李凡的水镜术轰然破碎。
The shock reverberated through Li Fan as his Water Mirror Technique shattered with a loud bang. His mind was in chaos for a moment.
nǎo zhōng hōng hōng yī piàn ， xiàn rù le yī shí de hùn luàn 。
脑中轰轰一片，陷入了一时的混乱。
After a while, Li Fan gradually regained his composure. "Could it be that there's something wrong with this 'Thousand Mechanisms and Jade Circle'?"
guò le piàn kè ， lǐ fán màn màn dì huī fù le lěng jìng 。
过了片刻，李凡慢慢地恢复了冷静。
His first reaction was that the technique itself might have issues. The concept of "discerning mechanisms" could no longer apply in the current world after such a great change.
“ gāi bú huì shì zhè 《 qiān jī yù huán jīn zhāng 》 yǒu wèn tí ba ？”
“该不会是这《千机玉寰金章》有问题吧？”
After all, he was currently inside the protective array of Taiyang Island, which was located at the core of Cunyun Sea and under the influence of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance. How could things go so wrong just because he closed himself off for meditation?
tā dì yī fǎn yìng jiù shì zhè gōng fǎ yǒu wèn tí 。
他第一反应就是这功法有问题。
But sensing the dense aura of death around him, Li Fan couldn't convince himself that everything would be fine.
suǒ wèi de “ biàn jī ” zài tiān dì jù biàn hòu de xiū xiān jiè ， kě néng yǐ jīng bù shì yòng le 。
所谓的“辨机”在天地巨变后的修仙界，可能已经不适用了。
His unease grew stronger.
bì jìng ， lǐ fán mù qián kě shì shēn chù tài ān dǎo de hù dǎo dà zhèn nèi 。
毕竟，李凡目前可是身处泰安岛的护岛大阵内。
Li Fan made a quick decision: regardless of whether it was real or not, he should head to Ten Thousand Immortals Island to avoid any potential danger. He immediately planned to activate the teleportation array and set off for the island.
ér tài ān dǎo yòu chù zài cóng yún hǎi de zhōng yāng qū yù ， shì wàn xiān méng de shì lì lǒng zhào fàn wéi 。
而泰安岛又处在丛云海的中央区域，是万仙盟的势力笼罩范围。
However, his heart sank when the array didn't respond at all!
zhī qián yì zhí ān quán wú shì ， zěn me kě néng jiù bì le gè guān ， jiù yào dà huò lín tóu le ne ？
之前一直安全无事，怎么可能就闭了个关，就要大祸临头了呢？
Li Fan's expression turned grim as he took out a communication spirit token given by He Zhenghao, trying to contact him. But even with spiritual energy input, there was no response!
bù guò ， gǎn yìng zhe zì shēn zhōu wéi nà nóng yù de sǐ qì ， lǐ fán què yòu wú fǎ zhè yàng jiǎn dān de shuō fú zì jǐ 。
不过，感应着自身周围那浓郁的死气，李凡却又无法这样简单的说服自己。
The situation was clear: something strange and ominous had indeed occurred.
xīn zhōng de bù ān zhú jiàn biàn dé qiáng liè 。
心中的不安逐渐变得强烈。
Staying on Taiyang Island would be a death sentence; he couldn't wait for things to get worse!
lǐ fán dāng jī lì duàn ， bù guǎn shì zhēn shì jiǎ ， xiān qián wǎng wàn xiān dǎo bì yī bì huò zài shuō 。
李凡当机立断，不管是真是假，先前往万仙岛避一避祸再说。
Li Fan summoned the Taiyin Boat and took out the 'Map of Cunyun Sea,' preparing to pilot his flying boat. The spirit stones that powered the boat were nearly depleted, but fortunately, Li Fan had bought many "essential equipment sets for solitary cultivators" before, which included several spirit stones.
yú shì tā dāng jí dǎ suàn kāi qǐ chuán sòng zhèn ， qián wǎng wàn xiān dǎo 。
于是他当即打算开启传送阵，前往万仙岛。
He estimated it would take about two or three months to fly from Taiyang Island to Ten Thousand Immortals Island. The spirit stones should be sufficient.
kě ràng tā xīn zhōng yī chén de shì ， chuán sòng zhèn jū rán méi yǒu fǎn yìng ！
可让他心中一沉的是，传送阵居然没有反应！
Li Fan decided not to worry about guarding the island and set off in his flying boat.
lǐ fán miàn sè yǒu xiē yīn chén 。
李凡面色有些阴沉。
Just as the Taiyin Boat was about to break free of the protective array, Li Fan suddenly sensed an endless wave of murderous intent from outside.
tā yòu ná chū hé zhèng hào jiāo gěi zì jǐ de tōng xùn líng fú ， cháng shì lián xì hé zhèng hào 。
他又拿出何正浩交给自己的通讯灵符，尝试联系何正浩。
It felt like a thousand blades piercing through the air, filling the entire world.
líng qì shū rù ， hái shì méi yǒu rèn hé fǎn yìng ！
灵气输入，还是没有任何反应！
His heart stopped, and he immediately halted the Taiyin Boat.
shì qíng yǐ jīng hěn míng xiǎn le ， què shí shì yǒu xiē guǐ yì de biàn gù fā shēng le 。
事情已经很明显了，确实是有些诡异的变故发生了。
A premonition told him that as soon as he left this protective array, he would be doomed to die!
jì xù dāi zài zhè tài ān dǎo shì sǐ lù yī tiáo ， bù néng zuò yǐ dài bì ！
继续呆在这泰安岛是死路一条，不能坐以待毙！
Li Fan narrowed his eyes at the calm sea, unsure of where the danger lay.
lǐ fán huàn chū tài yǎn zhōu ， ná chū 《 cóng yún hǎi tú zhì 》， zhǔn bèi qīn zì jià shǐ fēi zhōu guò qù 。
李凡唤出太衍舟，拿出《丛云海图志》，准备亲自驾驶飞舟过去。
In the end, Li Fan decided not to take any risks. He stowed away the Taiyin Boat and prepared to ask the common people on the island what had happened recently.
tài yǎn zhōu yuán běn zuò wéi dòng lì de líng shí yǐ jīng kuài yào xiāo hào wán bì le ， xìng hǎo lǐ fán zhī qián dà sì xiāo fèi gòu wù shí ， qí zhōng de “ xiū shì dú xíng bì bèi tào zhuāng ” zhōng jiù fù yǒu bù shǎo líng shí 。
太衍舟原本作为动力的灵石已经快要消耗完毕了，幸好李凡之前大肆消费购物时，其中的“修士独行必备套装”中就附有不少灵石。
After scanning the entire island with his divine sense, he was shocked again.
lǐ fán gū suàn ， cóng tài ān dǎo dào wàn xiān dǎo ， dà gài yào fēi liǎng sān gè yuè de shí jiān 。
李凡估算，从泰安岛到万仙岛，大概要飞两三个月的时间。
It turned out that a third of the population on the island had disappeared. The remaining inhabitants were all emaciated, as if they hadn't eaten in months.
líng shí shì kěn dìng gòu yòng de 。
灵石是肯定够用的。
Realizing something significant must have occurred during his seclusion, Li Fan's face darkened as he flew to the residence of the island's lord.
dāng xià lǐ fán yě bù zài guǎn shén me zhèn shǒu dǎo yǔ de rèn wù le ， zhí jiē jià shǐ fēi zhōu ， zhǔn bèi lí kāi 。
当下李凡也不再管什么镇守岛屿的任务了，直接驾驶飞舟，准备离开。
Since taking over the island, Li Fan had mostly been in seclusion and hadn't paid much attention to mundane matters. The lord had only seen him a few times.
jiù zài tài yǎn zhōu kuài yào fēi chū hù dǎo dà zhèn de chà nà ， lǐ fán hū rán chá jué dào dào wài jiè wú qióng wú jìn de shā jī 。
就在太衍舟快要飞出护岛大阵的刹那，李凡忽然察觉到到外界无穷无尽的杀机。
Seeing Li Fan, the lord immediately fell to his knees, sobbing uncontrollably.
wǎn ruò wàn dào lì jiàn ， biàn bù tiān dì zhī jiān 。
宛若万道利剑，遍布天地之间。
"Immortal Master, be merciful! Save us!"
lǐ fán xīn tiào zhòu tíng ， dùn shí zhǐ zhù le tài yǎn zhōu 。
李凡心跳骤停，顿时止住了太衍舟。
The lord wept bitterly, almost knocking himself unconscious.
xīn zhōng de yù gǎn gào sù tā ， zhǐ yào tā yí dàn chū le zhè hù dǎo dà zhèn ， jiù bì sǐ wú yí ！
心中的预感告诉他，只要他一旦出了这护岛大阵，就必死无疑！
"What has happened? Speak quickly!" Li Fan's face was dark with anger.
lǐ fán mī zhuó yǎn ， kàn zháo fēng píng làng jìng de dà hǎi ， bù zhī dào wēi jī lái zì hé chù 。
李凡眯着眼，看着风平浪静的大海，不知道危机来自何处。
"The days are unbearable. It hasn't rained for over half a year now. The freshwater and food supplies on the island have been nearly depleted. If this continues, everyone will starve to death!" the lord continued sobbing as he knelt.
zuì zhōng ， lǐ fán hái shì xuǎn zé bù mào zhè ge xiǎn 。
最终，李凡还是选择不冒这个险。
"Half a year without rain?" Li Fan recalled what Zhang Haobo had said years ago.
tā shōu qǐ tài yǎn zhōu ， zhǔn bèi xiān wèn yī wèn dǎo shàng de fán rén ， zuì jìn fā shēng le shén me shì 。
他收起太衍舟，准备先问一问岛上的凡人，最近发生了什么事。
"A drought has come. But why did the Heavenly Mirror tell me there would be no major changes? Doesn't such a large-scale drought deserve attention?"
ér děng tā de shén shí sǎo guò zhěng zuò dǎo yǔ zhī hòu ， tā yòu shì dà chī yī jīng 。
而等他的神识扫过整座岛屿之后，他又是大吃一惊。
The lord continued to cry, "All the fish in the near sea have been caught. The weather is too hot; not a single fishing expedition has returned alive. We are truly on the brink of starvation! Immortal Master, please save us!"
yuán lái ， zhěng zuò dǎo yǔ de jū mín zú zú shǎo le sān fēn zhī yī 。
原来，整座岛屿的居民足足少了三分之一。
Li Fan was annoyed by this man's cries and noticed his still plump body despite being thin. He angrily said, "Half the people on the island have starved to death, yet you haven't lost any weight?"
ér shèng xià de yě quán dōu bù zhī wèi hé biàn dé miàn huáng jī shòu ， hǎo sì xǔ jiǔ méi yǒu chī guò fàn yì bān 。
而剩下的也全都不知为何变得面黄肌瘦，好似许久没有吃过饭一般。
The lord turned pale but was about to defend himself when Li Fan used his divine sense to scan the kitchen in the lord's residence. His anger reached its peak.
xīn zhī zài tā bì guān qī jiān yí dìng fā shēng liǎo liǎo bù dé de shì qíng ， lǐ fán miàn sè yīn chén ， fēi shēn lái dào lái dào le tài ān dǎo dǎo zhǔ de fǔ dǐ zhōng 。
心知在他闭关期间一定发生了了不得的事情，李凡面色阴沉，飞身来到来到了泰安岛岛主的府邸中。
Without waiting for the lord to speak, he struck him dead with a single slap.
dài lǐ zhèn shǒu yǐ lái ， lǐ fán dōu zhǐ shì yì zhí bì guān ， méi yǒu zěn me lǐ cǎi dǎo shàng de sú shì 。
代理镇守以来，李凡都只是一直闭关，没有怎么理睬岛上的俗事。
"Living off others' labor and dying in their place—deserves death!"
zhè dǎo zhǔ yě jǐn jǐn shì jiàn guò jǐ miàn ér yǐ 。
这岛主也仅仅是见过几面而已。
Li Fan sneered as he used the protective array to send a message across the island.
cǐ shí zhè dǎo zhǔ jiàn dào lǐ fán ， zhí jiē guì dǎo zài dì ， bú zhù kē tóu āi háo 。
此时这岛主见到李凡，直接跪倒在地，不住磕头哀嚎。
"The lord is dead. The other managers come to my residence immediately!"
“ xiān shī cí bēi ， xiān shī cí bēi ， jiù jiù wǒ děng ba ！”
“仙师慈悲，仙师慈悲，救救我等吧！”
A few minutes later, several commoners trembled before Li Fan.
dǎo zhǔ tòng kū liú tì ， tóu dōu yào kē chū xiě lái 。
岛主痛哭流涕，头都要磕出血来。
Seeing that they hadn't eaten enough, Li Fan suppressed his desire to kill them.
“ dào dǐ fā shēng le hé shí ， sù sù shuō lái ！” lǐ fán miàn sè yīn chén wú bǐ 。
“到底发生了何时，速速说来！”李凡面色阴沉无比。
In their tearful pleas, Li Fan finally learned what had happened during his year of seclusion.
“ qǐ bǐng xiān shī ， zhè rì zi shí zài shì guò bù xià qù le a 。 zhè lǎo tiān yé yǐ jīng zú zú dà bàn nián dōu méi xià guò yǔ le ， dǎo shàng de dàn shuǐ hé chī de ， quán dōu xiāo hào de chà bu duō le 。 zài zhè me xià qù ， dà jiā quán dōu yào bèi huó huó è sǐ a ！” dǎo zhǔ yī biān kē tóu ， yī biān kū zhe shuō dào 。
“启禀仙师，这日子实在是过不下去了啊。这老天爷已经足足大半年都没下过雨了，岛上的淡水和吃的，全都消耗的差不多了。再这么下去，大家全都要被活活饿死啊！”岛主一边磕头，一边哭着说道。
The drought began six months ago. Initially, people didn't pay much attention when it rained for several days in a row. But as the dry spell stretched into two months, everyone panicked.
“ bàn nián méi yǒu xià guò yǔ ？” lǐ fán xiǎng qǐ le jǐ nián qián zhāng hào bō duì tā suǒ jiǎng de huà 。
“半年没有下过雨？”李凡想起了几年前张浩波对他所讲的话。
There was freshwater on the island, but with no rain over many days, it became scarce. At first, they could rely on fishing near the shore to sustain themselves, but as the weather grew hotter and fish became harder to catch, followed by the failure of all fishing expeditions, Taiyang Island fell into a famine.
“ hàn zāi hái shì lái le me 。 kě wèi hé wǒ zhī qián xún wèn tiān xuán jìng ， dé dào de dá àn shì bú huì fā shēng shén me dà de biàn gù ？ nán dào zhè děng guī mó de hàn zāi hái bù bèi tiān xuán jìng fàng zài yǎn lǐ me ？”
“旱灾还是来了么。可为何我之前询问天玄镜，得到的答案是不会发生什么大的变故？难道这等规模的旱灾还不被天玄镜放在眼里么？”
In just one month, a third of the population had died, and countless tragedies unfolded.
dǎo zhǔ jì xù kū hǎn ：“ jìn hǎi de yú dōu bèi bǔ guāng le ， tiān qì shí zài tài rè le ， chū yuǎn hǎi dǎ yú de chuán duì méi yǒu yī zhī néng huó zhe huí lái 。 dà jiā zhēn de kuài yào bèi è sǐ le a ！ xiān shī cí bēi ， jiù jiù wǒ men ba ！”
岛主继续哭喊：“近海的鱼都被捕光了，天气实在太热了，出远海打鱼的船队没有一支能活着回来。大家真的快要被饿死了啊！仙师慈悲，救救我们吧！”
The survivors were merely surviving. If Li Fan hadn't come out of seclusion sooner, he might not have seen any living souls left.
lǐ fán bèi zhè rén hǎn de xīn fán ， yòu piē jiàn cǐ rén suī rán biàn dé yǒu xiē shòu 、 dàn yī rán zhǎng mǎn féi biāo de shēn qū ， dà nù dào ：“ dǎo shàng fán rén è sǐ le yí bàn ， zěn me hái méi jiàn nǐ shòu xià lái ？”
李凡被这人喊的心烦，又瞥见此人虽然变得有些瘦、但依然长满肥膘的身躯，大怒道：“岛上凡人饿死了一半，怎么还没见你瘦下来？”
With no choice but to act, Li Fan remembered that when he left Taiyang Island years ago, the Taiyin Boat was filled with food supplies, which he had prepared out of caution for his exploration into unknown realms.
dǎo zhǔ miàn sè yī bái ， zhèng yù biàn jiě 。
岛主面色一白，正欲辩解。
Now, after nearly a decade, they finally came in handy. The boat contained a purification array, ensuring the food wouldn't spoil.
lǐ fán què shì shén shí zài dǎo zhǔ fǔ zhōng chú fáng sǎo shì le yī quān hòu ， gèng shì nù dào jí diǎn 。
李凡却是神识在岛主府中厨房扫视了一圈后，更是怒到极点。
Li Fan enlarged the Taiyin Boat and ordered the commoners to distribute some of the food as an emergency measure.
bù děng dǎo zhǔ shuō huà ， jiù bǎ tā yī bā zhǎng pāi chéng le ròu ní 。
不等岛主说话，就把他一巴掌拍成了肉泥。
Seeing their Immortal Master bring them life-saving provisions, everyone fell to their knees, sobbing and begging for mercy.
“ shī cān sù wèi ， sǐ yǒu yú gū ！”
“尸餐素位，死有余辜！”
Li Fan ignored them, letting them celebrate.
lǐ fán lěng hēng yī shēng ， jiè yòng dà zhèn zhī lì chuán yīn quán dǎo 。
李凡冷哼一声，借用大阵之力传音全岛。
If they rationed the food carefully, it should last the people on the island for a few months. The main issue was obtaining freshwater.
“ dǎo zhǔ yǐ bèi wǒ jī bì ， qí yú guǎn shì zhī rén sù lái dǎo zhǔ fǔ jiàn wǒ ！”
“岛主已被我击毙，其余管事之人速来岛主府见我！”
With water, they could survive.
piàn kè zhī hòu ， jǐ míng fán rén zhàn zhàn jīng jīng dì lái dào lǐ fán miàn qián 。
片刻之后，几名凡人战战兢兢地来到李凡面前。
Li Fan went to the island's primary freshwater source—a medium-sized lake in the center of the island. Guards had been posted around it to prevent commoners from approaching due to lack of rain.
lǐ fán jiàn tā men yě shì méi chī bǎo fàn de yàng zi ， zhè cái yā zhì zhù le shā xīn 。
李凡见他们也是没吃饱饭的样子，这才压制住了杀心。
The lake had shrunk significantly and now only occupied one-tenth of its original size, on the brink of drying up completely.
zài zhè xiē rén shēng lèi jù xià de kū sù zhōng ， lǐ fán yě zhōng yú liǎo jiě le zài tā bì guān de yī nián zhōng fā shēng de shì qíng 。
在这些人声泪俱下的哭诉中，李凡也终于了解了在他闭关的一年中发生的事情。
"When building this protective array, I never thought we would face a water shortage..."
hàn zāi qǐ yú bàn nián qián 。
旱灾起于半年前。
Holding the Taiyang Island command, Li Fan shook his head helplessly. "It seems I need to build an array for purifying seawater."
"What's going on?"
The shock reverberated through Li Fan as his Water Mirror Technique shattered with a loud bang. His mind was in chaos for a moment.
After a while, Li Fan gradually regained his composure. "Could it be that there's something wrong with this 'Thousand Mechanisms and Jade Circle'?"
