mù dǔ zhè yī cháng jǐng ， lǐ fán shǒu xiān jiù shì xiǎng dào le yīn shàng rén céng tí jí guò de “ fù wǒ yǔ ”。
目睹这一场景，李凡首先就是想到了殷上人曾提及过的“复我雨”。
Witnessing this scene, Li Fan first thought of the "Rebirth Rain" mentioned by Senior Yin.
dàn zhè cì tā yù dào de ， cóng tiān ér jiàng de shī tǐ hěn míng xiǎn mú yàng dōu bù xiāng tóng 。
但这次他遇到的，从天而降的尸体很明显模样都不相同。
But this time, the corpses falling from the sky were clearly in different forms.
yú shì hěn kuài tā biàn fǎn yìng guò lái ， bú shì shén me “ fù wǒ yǔ ”。
于是很快他便反应过来，不是什么“复我雨”。
Thus, he quickly realized that it wasn't the "Rebirth Rain." Instead, they had encountered the "Ten Thousand Corpses Giant" before, which was now disintegrated.
ér shì ， tā men zhī qián céng jīng yù dào guò de “ wàn shī jù rén ”， jiě tǐ le 。
而是，他们之前曾经遇到过的“万尸巨人”，解体了。
Clearly, Huafu Song and Xu Bai had also instantly gone their separate ways.
hěn xiǎn rán ， huáng fǔ sōng yě shì chà nà zhī jiān gēn xǔ bái xiǎng yī kuài qù le 。
很显然，皇甫松也是刹那之间跟许白想一块去了。
Li Fan frowned. "What's going on? Is it just a coincidence that the Immortal Alliance is dealing with the dead giant?"
méi tóu jǐn suǒ ：“ zhè yòu shì zěn me shì ？ qià hǎo pèng jiàn xiān méng duì sǐ shī jù rén dòng shǒu le ？”
眉头紧锁：“这又是怎么事？恰好碰见仙盟对死尸巨人动手了？”
He and Dongyang Yang were puzzled, but Li Fan vaguely guessed the reason.
tā hé dōng fāng yào bù míng suǒ yǐ ， lǐ fán què shì yǐn yǐn cāi dào le yuán yīn 。
他和东方曜不明所以，李凡却是隐隐猜到了原因。
"This is another sign of the reversal of life and death?" Li Fan's heart skipped a beat.
“ zhè shì ， sǐ shēng zhī lǐ zài dù bèi nì zhuǎn de jì xiàng ？” lǐ fán xīn zhōng yī tiào 。
“这是，死生之理再度被逆转的迹象？”李凡心中一跳。
"Calculating the days, even if Blue Feather can consume more longevity treasures, it's almost time for his lifespan to end."
“ suàn suàn rì zi ， jiù suàn lán yǔ néng zài fú yòng xiē yán shòu bǎo wù ， yě kuài dào shòu yuán jiāng jìn de shí hòu le 。”
“算算日子，就算蓝羽能再服用些延寿宝物，也快到寿元将近的时候了。”
"It seems he has chosen this path. But in such a short period, he was able to dissolve the manifestation of reversing life and death..."
“ kàn lái tā zhōng jiū hái shì xuǎn zé le zhè tiáo lù 。 bù guò duǎn duǎn shí jiān nèi ， jū rán yǐ jīng néng jiāng nì zhuǎn sǐ shēng zhī lǐ de jù xiàng gěi huà jiě ……”
“看来他终究还是选择了这条路。不过短短时间内，居然已经能将逆转死生之理的具象给化解……”
"How strong is Blue Feather?"
“ lán yǔ yǒu zhè me qiáng me ？”
“蓝羽有这么强么？”
A hint of doubt flashed through Li Fan's mind.
lǐ fán xīn zhōng shǎn guò yī sī yí huò 。
李凡心中闪过一丝疑惑。
"Or perhaps there are other aids?"
“ yì huò zhě ， shì yǒu qí tā zhù lì ？”
“亦或者，是有其他助力？”
Although Xu Bai wasn't yet clear on how the reversal of heaven and earth's principles and their impact on all things were achieved, the event before his eyes—where a dead giant disintegrated in an instant—unequivocally showed that two opposing forces were clashing.
suī rán xǔ bái xiàn zài hái bù tài qīng chǔ ， tiān dì zhī lǐ de nì zhuǎn 、 yǐ jí duì shì jiān wàn wù de yǐng xiǎng ， jiū jìng shì rú hé shí xiàn de 。
虽然许白现在还不太清楚，天地之理的逆转、以及对世间万物的影响，究竟是如何实现的。
"This can’t indicate that Blue Feather has gained an advantage. It just means that the Immortal Emperor who reversed life and death might have been caught off guard by his counterattack. After all, He should only have recently reversed the principles, not yet completed the steps of [Theorem]."
dàn yǎn qián fā shēng de ， néng huó dòng zì rú de sǐ shī jù rén zài qǐng kè jiān wǎ jiě de shì jiàn 。 zé shì háo wú yí wèn de shuō míng ， liǎng zhǒng jié rán xiāng duì de lì liàng ， zhèng zài xiāng hù jiāo fēng 。
但眼前发生的，能活动自如的死尸巨人在顷刻间瓦解的事件。则是毫无疑问的说明，两种截然相对的力量，正在相互交锋。
"The gap between not entering the Longevity Realm and merging with Dao doesn’t seem as vast as imagined."
“ dào yě bù néng biǎo míng lán yǔ zài liǎng zhě de duì kàng zhōng qǔ dé le yōu shì 。 zhǐ néng shuō ， nà wèi nì zhuǎn shēng sǐ de cháng shēng tiān zūn ， huò xǔ yě duì lán yǔ de fǎn jī yǒu xiē cù bù jí fáng 。 bì jìng tā yě yīng gāi zhǐ shì gāng gāng nì lǐ bù jiǔ ， hái méi lái de jí wán chéng 【 dìng lǐ 】 de bù zhòu 。”
“倒也不能表明蓝羽在两者的对抗中取得了优势。只能说，那位逆转生死的长生天尊，或许也对蓝羽的反击有些猝不及防。毕竟祂也应该只是刚刚逆理不久，还没来的及完成【定理】的步骤。”
While Li Fan pondered this, the rain of corpses finally slowly ended.
“ bù zhēn zhèng rù cháng shēng jìng ， yǔ hé dào de chā jù ， sì hū méi yǒu xiǎng xiàng zhōng de nà me jù dà 。”
“不真正入长生境，与合道的差距，似乎没有想象中的那么巨大。”
Huafu Song and Dongyang Yang watched those countless corpses disappearing into the depths of the white fog, their expressions fluctuating.
zài lǐ fán àn zì sī cǔn zhōng ， shī tǐ zhī yǔ zuì zhōng huǎn huǎn jié shù 。
在李凡暗自思忖中，尸体之雨最终缓缓结束。
"Damn it, this white fog is getting more bizarre," Dongyang Yang muttered under his breath.
huáng fǔ sōng yǔ dōng fāng yào kàn zhe nà xiē xiāo shī zài bái wù xià fāng shēn chù de wú shù shī tǐ ， shén sè yīn qíng bù dìng 。
皇甫松与东方曜看着那些消失在白雾下方深处的无数尸体，神色阴晴不定。
After a brief rest, they continued advancing towards the white fog to search for clues about the迷域.
“ tā niáng de ， zhè bái wù zhōng yuè fā guǐ yì le 。” dōng fāng yào xiǎo shēng mà le jù 。
“他娘的，这白雾中越发诡异了。”东方曜小声骂了句。
Meanwhile, in Tianliang Prefecture, Xu Bai, who was chatting merrily with representatives from other prefectures, suddenly excused himself and left.
xiū zhěng yī fān ， sān rén réng shì cháo zhe bái wù zhōng jìn fā ， jì xù xún zhǎo mí yù de zōng jì 。
休整一番，三人仍是朝着白雾中进发，继续寻找迷域的踪迹。
Returning to the Heavenly Xuan Mirror, he searched for any蛛丝马迹 related to the struggle between heaven and earth's principles.
ér cǐ kè ， zài tiān liáng zhōu zhōng ， yǔ yī zhòng qí tā zhōu shǐ zhě jiāo tán shèn huān de xǔ bái ， què shì hū de jiè gù lí kāi 。
而此刻，在天凉州中，与一众其他州使者交谈甚欢的许白，却是忽的借故离开。
Silence prevailed; nothing seemed amiss.
huí dào tiān xuán jìng zhōng ， sōu suǒ qǐ gēn “ tiān dì zhī lǐ xiāng zhēng ” yǒu guān de zhū sī mǎ jì qǐ lái 。
回到天玄镜中，搜索起跟“天地之理相争”有关的蛛丝马迹起来。
But this was precisely the biggest anomaly.
jìng qiāo qiāo yī piàn ， sì hū méi yǒu rèn hé yì cháng 。
静悄悄一片，似乎没有任何异常。
Even the depths of the white fog had been affected by the struggle. How much more so in the Xuanhuang realm?
dàn zhè què zhèng shì zuì dà de fǎn cháng zhī chù 。
但这却正是最大的反常之处。
Unusual events would inevitably occur, but they were deliberately concealed by the Immortal Alliance.
lián bái wù shēn chù ， dōu shòu dào le shuāng fāng xiāng zhēng de bō jí ， gèng hé kuàng xuán huáng běn jiè zhōng ne ？
连白雾深处，都受到了双方相争的波及，更何况玄黄本界中呢？
Xu Bai pondered for a moment before leaving the Heavenly Xuan Mirror and contacting Liu San.
bì rán huì yǒu xiē bèi yú cháng lǐ de shì jiàn fā shēng ， dàn què bèi xiān méng yǒu yì zhē yǎn le 。
必然会有些悖于常理的事件发生，但却被仙盟有意遮掩了。
He instructed the local Medicine King Sect cultivators to probe their surroundings for any strange occurrences while temporarily halting alchemy.
xǔ bái chén yín piàn kè ， chū le tiān xuán jìng ， lián xì qǐ le liǔ sān 。
许白沉吟片刻，出了天玄镜，联系起了柳三。
The consciousness of Medicine King Sect disciples was connected through [Great Dream Spring Array], acting swiftly.
ràng tā zàn shí tíng zhǐ liàn dān ， fēn fù gè dì de yào wáng zōng xiū shì ， dǎ tàn shēn biān shì fǒu yǒu xiē gǔ guài shì qíng fā shēng 。
让他暂时停止炼丹，吩咐各地的药王宗修士，打探身边是否有些古怪事情发生。
Within just half a day, messages from various prefectures poured in.
yào wáng zōng dì zǐ men de yì shí tōng guò 【 dà mèng chūn qiū zhèn 】 lián tōng yī chù ， xíng dòng hěn shì xùn sù 。
药王宗弟子们的意识通过【大梦春秋阵】联通一处，行动很是迅速。
"Several cultivators emerged from the white fog, attacking everything indiscriminately with madness. They didn't die until the Immortal Alliance cultivators killed them. Upon inspection, they were already corpses."
bù guò xiǎo bàn tiān shí jiān ， lái zì gè zhōu de xiāo xī biàn yuán yuán bù duàn de chuán dào le xǔ bái zhè lǐ 。
不过小半天时间，来自各州的消息便源源不断的传到了许白这里。
"In Tianlin Prefecture, a Golden Core cultivator died suddenly during his cultivation process. Just as his friend was preparing to collect his body, he miraculously came back to life. The strange phenomenon abruptly stopped, but the clouds lingered in the sky, seemingly unwilling to dissipate."
“ yǒu xiū shì zì bái wù zhōng chōng chū ， fā kuáng yì bān ， duì suǒ jiàn yī qiè jìn xíng wú chā bié gōng jī 。 bìng qiě hàn bù wèi sǐ 。 méi děng xiān méng xiū shì jiāng qí jī shā ， tā què zì jǐ xiān dǎo xià le 。 shàng qián chá kàn ， fā xiàn nà xiū shì ， jìng rán zǎo yǐ jīng shì yī jù shī tǐ le 。”
“有修士自白雾中冲出，发狂一般，对所见一切进行无差别攻击。并且悍不畏死。没等仙盟修士将其击杀，他却自己先倒下了。上前查看，发现那修士，竟然早已经是一具尸体了。”
"Interesting..." Xu Bai's eyes flickered.
“ tiān lín zhōu yǒu yī wèi jīn dān xiū shì ， zài jié dān guò chéng zhōng bào bì ér wáng 。 lián tóu dǐng tiān kōng yǔn luò yì xiàng dōu yǐ jīng shēng chéng ， hǎo yǒu zhèng zhǔn bèi wèi tā shōu shī de shí hòu 。 cǐ rén què shì tū rán huó le guò lái 。 yì xiàng jiá rán ér zhǐ ， màn tiān de yún cǎi què fǎng fú shí fēn bù gān shì de ， jiǔ jiǔ méi yǒu sàn qù 。”
“天麟州有一位金丹修士，在结丹过程中暴毙而亡。连头顶天空陨落异像都已经生成，好友正准备为他收尸的时候。此人却是突然活了过来。异像戛然而止，漫天的云彩却仿佛十分不甘似的，久久没有散去。”
"In Taihua Prefecture, a couple of Dao侣s. The wife had been dead for some time, and her husband refused to accept it, preserving her body frozen. Recently, this deeply devoted man suddenly appeared with a female cultivator in front of everyone. Initially, they thought he had finally come to terms and found another partner. But upon closer inspection, the woman by his side was none other than his deceased wife! She seemed dazed and behaved abnormally, forgetting her old friends."
“ yǒu qù ……” xǔ bái yǎn shén wēi dòng 。
“有趣……”许白眼神微动。
...
“ tài huá zhōu yǒu yī duì dào lǚ 。 qī zǐ zǎo yǐ jīng yǔn luò duō shí ， zhàng fū què shǐ zhōng bù yuàn jiē shòu shì shí ， jiāng ài qī de shī tǐ bīng fēng bǎo cún 。 qián bù jiǔ ， zhè wèi shēn qíng zhī rén ， què shì hū de hé yī wèi nǚ xiū shì ， yì qǐ chū xiàn zài zhòng rén miàn qián 。 yuán běn hái yǐ wéi shì tā zhōng yú xiǎng tōng le ， lìng xún le dào lǚ 。 dàn xì kàn zhī xià ， què fā xiàn tā shēn biān nà wèi nǚ xiū shì ， hè rán zhèng shì sǐ qù duō nián de tā de qī zǐ ！ zhǐ shì yǎn shén yǒu xiē chī dāi 、 xíng dòng yì yú cháng rén 。 yě jì bù dé shēng qián hǎo yǒu le 。”
“太华州有一对道侣。妻子早已经陨落多时，丈夫却始终不愿接受事实，将爱妻的尸体冰封保存。前不久，这位深情之人，却是忽的和一位女修士，一起出现在众人面前。原本还以为是他终于想通了，另寻了道侣。但细看之下，却发现他身边那位女修士，赫然正是死去多年的他的妻子！只是眼神有些痴呆、行动异于常人。也记不得生前好友了。”
As Xu Bai listened, his expression grew increasingly serious.
……
……
Because, apart from some reports of people suddenly losing their ability to move while still alive or dead, there were more and more instances of the dead coming back to life across various prefectures.
xǔ bái kàn zhe kàn zhe ， miàn sè zhú jiàn níng zhòng qǐ lái 。
许白看着看着，面色逐渐凝重起来。
It wasn't limited to a single prefecture; it affected the entire territory of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.
yīn wèi ， chú le zuì kāi shǐ yǒu yī xiē shì shēng fēi shēng zhī rén hū de shī qù xíng dòng néng lì de chuán wén 。
因为，除了最开始有一些似生非生之人忽的失去行动能力的传闻。
"Even beyond the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance... even the Five Elders Association..."
yuè lái yuè duō de ， gè dì kāi shǐ bù duàn yǒu sǐ ér fù shēng de shì jiàn fā shēng 。
越来越多的，各地开始不断有死而复生的事件发生。
Xu Bai's expression turned grave.
bù jú xiàn zài yī zhōu zhī dì ， zhěng gè wàn xiān méng de lǐng dì ， dōu shì rú cǐ 。
不局限在一州之地，整个万仙盟的领地，都是如此。
"Is this due to Blue Feather's intervention, causing the Death and Life Emperor to accelerate the [Theorem]'s progress?"
“ shèn zhì bú shì wàn xiān méng ， lián wǔ lǎo huì nà biān ……”
“甚至不是万仙盟，连五老会那边……”
According to what Xu Bai knew, there were no signs of battle in Source Dao Prefecture where Blue Feather was located.
xǔ bái shén sè sù rán 。
许白神色肃然。
"Instead of resolving this competitor through combat, they directly used the reversal of principles to suppress it."
“ zhè shì yīn wèi lán yǔ de chā shǒu ， nà wèi sǐ shēng tiān zūn ， kāi shǐ jiā kuài 【 dìng lǐ 】 de sù dù le ？”
“这是因为蓝羽的插手，那位死生天尊，开始加快【定理】的速度了？”
Xu Bai's eyes narrowed. "It seems that the Death and Life Emperor doesn't take Blue Feather seriously at all. He even has no interest in attacking him."
gēn xǔ bái suǒ zhī ， lán yǔ suǒ zài de yuán dào zhōu ， bìng méi yǒu fā shēng shén me zhàn dòu de jì xiàng 。
跟许白所知，蓝羽所在的源道州，并没有发生什么战斗的迹象。
"He just needs to proceed with his steps towards immortality. Blue Feather is like a cicada trying to stop a chariot; he will only be crushed."
“ méi yǒu tōng guò zhàn dòu ， zhí jiē jiě jué diào zhè yī jìng zhēng duì shǒu 。 ér shì zhí jiē tōng guò nì lǐ ， yòng dà shì jiāng qí yā sǐ 。”
“没有通过战斗，直接解决掉这一竞争对手。而是直接通过逆理，用大势将其压死。”
Xu Bai seemed to hear Blue Feather's frustrated cry after failing to achieve enlightenment.
xǔ bái yǎn jīng mī qǐ ：“ kàn lái ， zhè wèi sǐ shēng tiān zūn ， gēn běn méi yǒu bǎ lán yǔ fàng zài xīn shàng 。 shèn zhì lián duì tā dòng shǒu de xìng qù dōu méi yǒu 。”
许白眼睛眯起：“看来，这位死生天尊，根本没有把蓝羽放在心上。甚至连对他动手的兴趣都没有。”
"Perhaps the end result is imminent, and we just need to wait patiently."
“ tā zhǐ xū àn bù jiù bān de jìn xíng zì jǐ zhèng cháng shēng de bù zhòu ， dǎng zài tā miàn qián de lán yǔ ， zhēn de rú tóng táng bì dāng chē 。 zhǐ yǒu bèi niǎn suì yí gè xià chǎng 。”
“他只需按部就班的进行自己证长生的步骤，挡在他面前的蓝羽，真的如同螳臂当车。只有被碾碎一个下场。”
Continuing to gather intelligence from Medicine King Sect disciples, Xu Bai sealed off all communications to prevent external disturbances. He focused solely on observing the developments.
xǔ bái fǎng fú yǐ jīng tīng dào le lán yǔ zhèng dào shī bài hòu de nù hǒu 。
许白仿佛已经听到了蓝羽证道失败后的怒吼。
Sure enough, as he expected, more reports of the dead coming back to life finally made Immortal Alliance cultivators take notice.
“ huò xǔ jié jú hěn kuài jiù huì jiàng lín ， zhǐ xū nài xīn děng dài jí kě 。”
“或许结局很快就会降临，只需耐心等待即可。”
Increasingly anxious discussions spread until a statement was issued by the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.
jì xù ràng yào wáng zōng dì zǐ sōu jí qíng bào ， wèi fáng wài jiè dǎ rǎo ， xǔ bái suǒ xìng yòu jiāng tōng xùn líng fú fēng suǒ 。
继续让药王宗弟子搜集情报，为防外界打扰，许白索性又将通讯灵符封锁。
"Immortal Alliance cultivators, remember this great day."
zhǐ shì zhuān xīn de guān chá zhe shì qíng de jìn zhǎn 。
只是专心的观察着事情的进展。
"After many years, we are about to welcome a new Death and Life Emperor."
guǒ rán bù chū tā de suǒ liào ， yuè lái yuè duō de sǐ ér fù shēng zhī xiàng ， zhōng yú ràng xiān méng xiū shì chǎn shēng le jǐng jué 。
果然不出他的所料，越来越多的死而复生之象，终于让仙盟修士产生了警觉。
"Death cannot be reversed; that is heaven and earth's principle."
huáng kǒng bù ān de tǎo lùn yuè lái yuè duō ， zuì zhōng yǐn lái le wàn xiān méng de yī dào shēng míng 。
惶恐不安的讨论越来越多，最终引来了万仙盟的一道声明。
"But from now on, this established fact will be rewritten."
“ wàn xiān méng de xiū shì men ， qǐng míng jì jīn tiān zhè ge wěi dà de rì zi ba 。”
“万仙盟的修士们，请铭记今天这个伟大的日子吧。”
"Reversing life and death, the emperor’s name is [Transmigration]."
“ shí gé duō nián ， wǒ men wàn xiān méng ， jí jiāng yíng lái yī wèi xīn de cháng shēng tiān zūn 。”
“时隔多年，我们万仙盟，即将迎来一位新的长生天尊。”
"So don't panic. Celebrate freely."
“ rén sǐ bù néng fù shēng ， cǐ nǎi tiān dì zhī lǐ 。”
“人死不能复生，此乃天地之理。”
"Under the power of the Transmigration Emperor, all fallen cultivators can resurrect after eighteen years and retain their past memories."
“ dàn cóng jīn wǎng hòu ， zhè ge jì dìng shì shí jiāng huì bèi chè dǐ gǎi xiě 。”
“但从今往后，这个既定事实将会被彻底改写。”
"A new era has begun!"
“ nì sǐ shēng zhī lǐ ， tiān zūn míng wèi 【 wǎng shēng 】。”
“逆死生之理，天尊名为【往生】。”
After the announcement was made, all cultivators across the land fell into a state of shock.
“ suǒ yǐ ， bú yào jīng huāng 。 jìn qíng qìng hè ba 。”
“所以，不要惊慌。尽情庆贺吧。”
Then came agitation, doubt, and fear...
“ wǎng shēng tiān zūn shén lì lǒng zhào xià ， fán yǔn luò xiū shì ， jiē kě zài shí bā zài hòu fù huó 。 bìng qiě hái néng bǎo liú qián shì jì yì 。”
“往生天尊神力笼罩下，凡陨落修士，皆可在十八载后复活。并且还能保留前世记忆。”
Various emotions erupted simultaneously.
“ yí gè zhǎn xīn de shí dài ， lái lín liǎo ！”
“一个崭新的时代，来临了！”
The distribution of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance in each prefecture was besieged by cultivators eager to know the details of rebirth and how resurrection would occur.
gōng gào fā bù hòu ， quán tiān xià de xiū shì dùn shí xiàn rù le dāi zhì zhī zhōng 。
公告发布后，全天下的修士顿时陷入了呆滞之中。
But local officials were equally baffled, unaware of what was happening. Thus, they could only try to maintain order until the final answers emerged.
ér hòu zhèn dòng 、 huái yí 、 jīng jù ……
而后震动、怀疑、惊惧……
(End of Chapter)
Witnessing this scene, Li Fan first thought of the "Rebirth Rain" mentioned by Senior Yin.
