“ hái zhēn fā dòng huí shuò ， xū yào jì dìng máo dìng 。 rú jīn de sān gè máo diǎn ， dōu dìng yú bái xiān shēng fù huó zhī qián 。”
“还真发动回朔，需要既定锚定。如今的三个锚点，都定于白先生复活之前。”
"Truly Real is about to activate its reverse chronology, but it needs a predetermined anchor point. The current three anchors are set before Master Bai's resurrection."
“ jiù suàn tā zhēn de néng gòu cóng wǒ shēn shàng jiāng 【 hái zhēn 】 duó zǒu ， yě wú fǎ huí dào tā gēn běn bù cún zài de suì yuè lǐ 。”
“就算他真的能够从我身上将【还真】夺走，也无法回到他根本不存在的岁月里。”
"He might be able to take Truly Real from me, but he can't return to the nonexistent years of his past."
“ tā néng yòng de quán xīn máo diǎn ， bì rán dìng zài huò qǔ 【 hái zhēn 】 zhī hòu 。”
“他能用的全新锚点，必然定在获取【还真】之后。”
"The new anchor points he could use will definitely be set after acquiring Truly Real."
“ suǒ yǐ ， wǒ zhǐ xū yào zài lín sǐ zhī qián ， jiāng shì shàng cún zài zhe 【 hái zhēn 】 zhī shì chuán biàn tiān xià 。 jiù suàn shì chéng gōng fù chóu le 。”
“所以，我只需要在临死之前，将世上存在着【还真】之事传遍天下。就算是成功复仇了。”
"So, I just need to spread the news that there exists Truly Real before my death. That would count as avenging myself successfully."
xǔ bái yī biān zhì zuò zhe “ yí shū ”， yī biān xiǎng xiàng zhe zì jǐ sǐ wáng hòu de huà miàn 。
许白一边制作着“遗书”，一边想象着自己死亡后的画面。
Xu Bai was making a "last letter" while imagining what his life might look like after his death.
zhè zhǒng gǎn jué ， tā yǐ jīng xǔ jiǔ bù céng yǒu guò le 。
这种感觉，他已经许久不曾有过了。
He hadn't felt this way in a long time.
zì cóng dì yī shì zài bīn sǐ zhī shí jué xǐng 【 hái zhēn 】 hòu 。 tā yǐ jīng hěn jiǔ méi yǒu xiǎng guò ， zì jǐ yě jí jiāng huì yíng lái sǐ wáng de nà tiān 。
自从第一世在濒死之时觉醒【还真】后。他已经很久没有想过，自己也即将会迎来死亡的那天。
Since awakening Truly Real during his first life's near-death experience, he had not often thought about the day when he would face his own mortality.
huò xǔ shì tā shàng wèi zhēn de jiàng lín ， tā de xīn zhōng bìng méi yǒu duō shǎo de kǒng jù 。
或许是它尚未真的降临，他的心中并没有多少的恐惧。
Perhaps because it had yet to truly arrive, fear was not his primary emotion. Instead, there was a mix of emotions, even a hint ofluckiness;侥幸 can also be translated as "侥幸心理" meaning "侥幸 psychology" or "relying on luck") (luckiness;侥幸 can also be translated as "侥幸心理" meaning "侥幸 psychology" or "relying on luck") meaningluckiness;侥幸 can also be translated as "侥幸心理" meaning "侥幸 psychology" or "relying on luck") escape from disaster).
ér shì wǔ wèi zá chén ， shèn zhì bāo hán zhe yī sī zì jǐ jiǎo xìng duǒ guò yī jié de huàn xiǎng 。
而是五味杂陈，甚至包含着一丝自己侥幸躲过一劫的幻想。
It was all due to the uncertainty of the future.
gài yīn zhǐ shì duì wèi lái de wèi zhī ， ér dǎo zhì de xīn xù nán níng 。
盖因只是对未来的未知，而导致的心绪难宁。
In previous situations, no matter how dire the circumstances, he never felt lost or uncertain. Even if things had deteriorated beyond repair, "Truly Real would be my salvation!"
zài yǐ wǎng ， wú lùn yù dào shén me yàng de wēi jí jú miàn 。 tā dōu méi yǒu guò páng huáng 。
在以往，无论遇到什么样的危急局面。他都没有过彷徨。
His former abode and the peak of Escape Mountain were his most secure havens as a mortal.
jiù suàn qíng kuàng zāo gāo dào bù kě shōu shí ， nà “ dà bù liǎo hái zhēn biàn shì ！”
就算情况糟糕到不可收拾，那“大不了还真便是！”
But now, it was like encountering treacherous waters just outside his safe harbor—slip up once, and he'd meet an untimely end.
shēn wèi fán rén shí suǒ jū zhù de shū fáng 、 yì huò shì jiě lí shān diān ， dōu shì tā xīn zhōng zuì wèi ān quán de bì fēng gǎng 。
身为凡人时所居住的书房、亦或是解离山巅，都是他心中最为安全的避风港。
...
dàn xiàn zài ， zé shì yī duàn biàn bù zhe jiāo shí yǔ àn liú de hǎi yù ， tū rán héng gèn zài bì fēng gǎng zhī wài 。
但现在，则是一段遍布着礁石与暗流的海域，突然横亘在避风港之外。
While his thoughts wandered, the first "last letter" was completed.
shāo yǒu bù shèn ， jiù huì zhuàng dé fěn shēn suì gǔ 。
稍有不慎，就会撞得粉身碎骨。
The so-called "last letter" was actually a depiction of a celestial scene that appeared after a cultivator's death. It would be buried in various hidden corners of the Selection Yellow World beforehand, with a part of Xu Bai's consciousness attached to act as an on/off switch.
……
……
"It needs to be deeply buried in places I don't know about in the Selection Yellow World," he said to himself. "That way, even if Master Bai revives and tries to stop it, he won't succeed."
sī xù fā sàn de gōng fu ， dì yī fèn “ yí shū ” yǐ jīng zuò hǎo le 。
思绪发散的功夫，第一份“遗书”已经做好了。
"Right, this task should be entrusted to someone trustworthy."
suǒ wèi de “ yí shū ”， qí shí jiù shì páng zì xiū shì yǔn luò hòu de yì xiàng zhì zào chū de ， shùn shí tiān qióng dà fàn wéi yǐng xiàng 。
所谓的“遗书”，其实就是彷自修士陨落后的异像制造出的，瞬时天穹大范围影像。
One by one, faces flashed through his mind.
tóng shí fù zhuó le tā de yī sī yì shí ， yǐ chōng dāng bào fā huò zhě xiāo huǐ de kāi guān 。
同时附着了他的一丝意识，以充当爆发或者销毁的开关。
Soon, he had a plan.
“ xū yào shì xiān shēn mái zài xuǎn huáng jiè gè chù ， wǒ zì jǐ dōu bù zhī dào de jiǎo luò lǐ 。”
“需要事先深埋在选黄界各处，我自己都不知道的角落里。”
After completing 108 copies of the "last image," Xu Bai left Eternal Valley and returned to Tianliangzhou. He sought out his old superior, Nan Gong Shierong.
“ zhè yàng jiù suàn fù sū guò lái de bái xiān shēng xiǎng yào zǔ zhǐ ， yě wú fǎ zuò dào le 。”
“这样就算复苏过来的白先生想要阻止，也无法做到了。”
Nan Gong Shierong initially thought Xu Bai had changed his mind and was coming back for work. But when Xu Bai asked about the Soul Retracing Order, he was taken aback.
“ ń ， cǐ shì hái xū zhǎo gè xìn dé guò rén qù zuò 。”
“嗯，此事还需找个信得过人去做。”
"What do you need this thing for?" Nan Gong Shierong sized up Xu Bai.
yī zhāng zhāng miàn páng zài tā de nǎo hǎi zhōng xùn sù shǎn guò 。
一张张面庞在他的脑海中迅速闪过。
The Soul Retracing Order was a tool from the Rebirth Mansion that could trace a cultivator's reincarnation destination based on items tainted with their pre-death aura. It wasn't publicly available to ordinary cultivators to prevent people from "suiciding" in hopes of escaping punishment through rebirth.
hěn kuài ， tā jiù yǒu le zhǔ yì 。
很快，他就有了主意。
"The Rebirth Mansion is relatively independent, and even if I'm in charge of this state, it would be hard for me to communicate with them," Nan Gong Shierong said hesitantly.
zài zhì zuò wán bì yì bǎi líng bā fèn 【 yí yǐng 】 zhī hòu ， xǔ bái lí kāi cháng shēng gǔ ， huí le yī tàng tiān liáng zhōu 。
在制作完毕一百零八份【遗影】之后，许白离开长生谷，回了一趟天凉州。
Xu Bai remained silent, handing over a storage ring.
zhǎo dào le zì jǐ de lǎo shàng sī ， nán gōng shì róng 。
找到了自己的老上司，南宫士荣。
Nan Gong Shierong took the ring suspiciously but was shocked when he saw the exquisite refined spirit stones inside. A quick scan revealed that these spirit stones could be worth up to three million contribution points!
nán gōng shì róng zuì chū hái yǐ wéi ， xǔ bái shì gǎi biàn le zhǔ yì ， dǎ suàn huí lái rèn zhí le 。
南宫士荣最初还以为，许白是改变了主意，打算回来任职了。
Nan Gong Shierong gulped. Although with the expansion of the White Mist Era and the Conquest of Worlds Era, many contribution points had been distributed, making prices in the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance rise significantly, three million was still a huge sum—even for him, the head of this state.
kě xǔ bái de yāo qiú què shì ràng tā yǒu xiē cuò shǒu bù jí 。
可许白的要求却是让他有些措手不及。
He needed to manage various relationships and wasn't always flush with funds.
“ shuò hún lìng ？ zhè yào zhè dōng xī gàn má ？” nán gōng shì róng dǎ liàng zhe xǔ bái 。
“朔魂令？这要这东西干嘛？”南宫士荣打量着许白。
Without revealing his true intentions, Nan Gong Shierong quickly put the storage ring away. "Rest assured, I'll handle it! I'll give you my answer in three days!"
shuò hún lìng nǎi shì wǎng shēng fǔ zhōng yī yàng dào jù ， kě yǐ gēn jù zhān rǎn xiū shì shēng qián qì xī de wù pǐn ， zhuī shuò xiū shì tóu tāi hòu de qù xiàng 。
朔魂令乃是往生府中一样道具，可以根据沾染修士生前气息的物品，追朔修士投胎后的去向。
With that, he left hurriedly.
bìng bù xiàng pǔ tōng xiū shì qún tǐ gōng kāi duì huàn 。
并不向普通修士群体公开兑换。
Three days later, Xu Bai left with the Soul Retracing Order, still without asking about its purpose. Sometimes, knowing too much could be problematic.
zhǐ shì wèi le fáng zhǐ mǒu xiē rén “ è yì zì shā ”， shì tú tōng guò zhuǎn shēng de fāng shì táo tuō yīng yǒu de chéng chǔ 。
只是为了防止某些人“恶意自杀”，试图通过转生的方式逃脱应有的惩处。
Leaving Tianliangzhou, he met Li Fan's true self on the way and handed over the Soul Retracing Order. They exchanged a glance before parting ways.
“ wǎng shēng fǔ xiāng duì dú lì ， jí biàn wǒ zhí zhǎng yī zhōu ， yě hěn nán gēn tā men shuō de shàng huà 。” nán gōng shì róng miàn lù yóu yù zhī sè 。
“往生府相对独立，即便我执掌一州，也很难跟他们说的上话。”南宫士荣面露犹豫之色。
Xu Bai returned to Eternal Valley, ready for anything. Meanwhile, Li Fan began his final preparations.
xǔ bái yě bù shuō huà ， dì le yī méi chǔ wù jiè guò qù 。
许白也不说话，递了一枚储物戒过去。
First, he contacted Dongfang Yang.
nán gōng shì róng yǒu xiē hú yí de jiē guò chá kàn ， jié guǒ chà diǎn bèi qí nèi zhuāng de mǎn mǎn dāng dāng de jí pǐn zhì shì líng shí shān ， shǎn xiàn le yǎn 。
南宫士荣有些狐疑的接过查看，结果差点被其内装的满满当当的极品制式灵石山，闪现了眼。
This man was indeed loyal and had a deep sense of duty. Huafeng Song's death was still on Xu Bai's mind, but during this time, he hadn't given up searching for Huafeng Song's reincarnation method. However, the difficulty of interfering with the Rebirth Mansion made it nearly impossible.
shén shí yī sǎo ， zhè lǐ miàn de líng shí duì huàn chéng gòng xiàn dù de huà ， hè rán bù xià yú sān bǎi wàn zhī shù ！
神识一扫，这里面的灵石兑换成贡献度的话，赫然不下于三百万之数！
Thus, after so much time, he had no results.
nán gōng shì róng bù jīn dào xī le kǒu lěng qì 。
南宫士荣不禁倒吸了口冷气。
They had been apart for a long while, but upon meeting, Dongfang Yang greeted him warmly as always.
suī rán suí zhe bái wù kāi tuò shí dài 、 yǐ jí zhēng fá zhū jiè shí dài ， dà liàng de gòng xiàn dù bèi fā fàng 。 shǐ de wàn xiān méng wù jià shàng zhǎng le xǔ duō 。
虽然随着白雾开拓时代、以及征伐诸界时代，大量的贡献度被发放。使得万仙盟物价上涨了许多。
Upon receiving the Soul Retracing Order, Dongfang Yang was puzzled. "What is this?"
dàn sān bǎi wàn gòng xiàn dù ， yī jiù shì yī bǐ jù kuǎn 。 nǎ pà duì yú tā zhè yī zhōu kuí shǒu lái shuō ， yě shì rú cǐ 。
但三百万贡献度，依旧是一笔巨款。哪怕对于他这一州魁首来说，也是如此。
After Li Fan explained its purpose, Dongfang Yang's body trembled. "This..."
xū zhī ， tā xiǎng yào jì xù gèng jìn yí bù ， yě shì xū yào gè zhǒng dǎ lǐ guān xì de 。 píng shí shǒu lǐ bìng bú shì fēi cháng kuān yù 。
须知，他想要继续更进一步，也是需要各种打理关系的。平时手里并不是非常宽裕。
"I know you've been grieving Huafeng Brother's passing. I feel the same way and haven't given up."
bù dòng shēng sè de xùn sù jiāng chǔ wù jiè shōu rù náng zhōng ， nán gōng shì róng miàn sè sù rán dào ：“ fàng xīn ， cǐ shì jiāo gěi wǒ jiù shì ！ bù chū sān rì ， bì dìng gěi nǐ dá fù ！”
不动声色的迅速将储物戒收入囊中，南宫士荣面色肃然道：“放心，此事交给我就是！不出三日，必定给你答复！”
"This item came at a great cost; keep it safe. When Huafeng Brother reincarnates, go find him," Li Fan said.
shuō bà ， biàn cōng cōng lí kāi 。
说罢，便匆匆离开。
Dongfang Yang was surprised and delighted to learn that Li Fan had fulfilled his wish.
sān rì hòu ， xǔ bái dài zhe shuò hún lìng ， qiǎo rán lí kāi 。
三日后，许白带着朔魂令，悄然离开。
Moved by this, he looked at Li Fan again and noticed something unusual. "Hmm? Should I look for him myself?"
cóng shǐ zhì zhōng ， nán gōng shì róng dōu méi yǒu wèn tā yào zhè shuò hún lìng de yòng tú 。 bì jìng yǒu xiē shì qíng ， zhuī jiū de tài qīng chǔ le ， fǎn ér bù hǎo 。
从始至终，南宫士荣都没有问他要这朔魂令的用途。毕竟有些事情，追究的太清楚了，反而不好。
"Why not come with me?" Dongfang Yang asked, realizing the oddity of Li Fan's demeanor.
chū le tiān liáng zhōu ， zài bàn lù yǔ lǐ fán běn zūn pèng tóu 。
出了天凉州，在半路与李凡本尊碰头。
Li Fan's face turned grim as he admitted, "I've attracted a powerful enemy, and my life is in danger."
jiāng shuò hún lìng jiāo gěi tā hòu ， duì shì yī yǎn ， zài dù fēn dào yáng biāo 。
将朔魂令交给他后，对视一眼，再度分道扬镳。
"There might not even be an opportunity to reincarnate."
xǔ bái fǎn huí cháng shēng gǔ ， yǐ bù biàn yīng wàn biàn 。
许白返回长生谷，以不变应万变。
Dongfang Yang was alarmed. The power of a Heaven Lord could influence things, so the enemy must be terrifyingly formidable.
ér lǐ fán zé shì kāi shǐ zuì hòu de bù zhì 。
而李凡则是开始最后的布置。
But after hesitating for only a moment, Dongfang Yang decided to help Li Fan without asking why he had been pursued.
shǒu xiān tā lián xì shàng le dōng fāng yào 。
首先他联系上了东方曜。
Li Fan shook his head and refused. "It would just be a waste of your life. I couldn't bear to drag you into this."
cǐ rén bù kuì zhòng qíng zhòng yì zhī bèi ， lǐ fán yǐ jīng chà bu duō kuài bǎ huáng fǔ sōng gěi wán quán pāo zhī nǎo hòu le 。
此人不愧重情重义之辈，李凡已经差不多快把皇甫松给完全抛之脑后了。
Dongfang Yang was at a loss for words.
ér tā zhè duàn shí jiān lǐ ， què yī jiù méi yǒu fàng qì xún zhǎo huáng fǔ sōng zhuǎn shì de fāng fǎ 。
而他这段时间里，却依旧没有放弃寻找皇甫松转世的方法。
"But... if you really want to help, how about..."
zhǐ shì méi yǒu guān xì ， xiǎng yào chā shǒu wǎng shēng fǔ de shì qíng ， dàng zhēn shì nán rú dēng tiān 。
只是没有关系，想要插手往生府的事情，当真是难如登天。
He handed Dongfang Yang the storage ring containing 108 "last images."
yú shì zhè me zhǎng shí jiān guò qù le ， tā réng rán méi yǒu shōu huò 。
于是这么长时间过去了，他仍然没有收获。
"Burial these items near each state's capital city underground carefully. Don't let anyone find them."
liǎng rén fēn bié yǐ jiǔ 。 dàn jiàn miàn zhī hòu ， dōng fāng yào réng shì rè qíng de dǎ zhe zhāo hū 。
两人分别已久。但见面之后，东方曜仍是热情的打着招呼。
"If I do this, there might be a chance," Li Fan whispered.
zhǐ shì zài jiē guò lǐ fán dì guò lái de shuò hún lìng hòu ， yǒu xiē yí huò 。
只是在接过李凡递过来的朔魂令后，有些疑惑。
Seeing that it was related to his friend's life and death, Dongfang Yang took the matter very seriously.
“ zhè shì shén me ？”
“这是什么？”
After bidding farewell, he rushed towards the nearest capital city.
děng lǐ fán gào zhī le shuò hún lìng de jù tǐ yòng tú hòu ， dōng fāng yào shēn qū yī zhèn ：“ zhè ……”
等李凡告之了朔魂令的具体用途后，东方曜身躯一震：“这……”
"Even if Master Bai has my memories, from finding me, figuring out where these 'last images' are buried, and destroying them, it will take some time."
“ wǒ zhī nǐ yì zhí duì huáng fǔ xiōng de shì qù gěng gěng yú huái 。 wǒ yě shì rú cǐ ， zhè xiē nián shǐ zhōng méi yǒu fàng qì guò 。”
“我知你一直对皇甫兄的逝去耿耿于怀。我也是如此，这些年始终没有放弃过。”
"That should be enough for me to activate my plan."
“ cǐ wù lái zhī bù yì ， nǐ hǎo hǎo bǎo guǎn 。 děng dài huáng fǔ xiōng zhuǎn shēng hòu ， nǐ zì qù xún tā 。”
“此物来之不易，你好好保管。等待皇甫兄转生后，你自去寻他。”
-----------------
dōng fāng yào méi xiǎng dào ， fǎn ér shì lǐ fán wán chéng le tā de sù yuàn 。
东方曜没想到，反而是李凡完成了他的夙愿。
The additional chapters have concluded. Tonight, there are two more updates.
"Truly Real is about to activate its reverse chronology, but it needs a predetermined anchor point. The current three anchors are set before Master Bai's resurrection."
"He might be able to take Truly Real from me, but he can't return to the nonexistent years of his past."
"The new anchor points he could use will definitely be set after acquiring Truly Real."
"So, I just need to spread the news that there exists Truly Real before my death. That would count as avenging myself successfully."
Xu Bai was making a "last letter" while imagining what his life might look like after his death.

His former abode and the peak of Escape Mountain were his most secure havens as a mortal.
But now, it was like encountering treacherous waters just outside his safe harbor—slip up once, and he'd meet an untimely end.

While his thoughts wandered, the first "last letter" was completed.
