lǐ fán shǒu wò cuǐ càn yuán qiú ， fēn chū yī lǚ shén shí ， zuān rù qí zhōng 。
李凡手握璀璨圆球，分出一缕神识，钻入其中。
Li Fan held a dazzling sphere in his hand and split off a thread of divine consciousness, drilling into it.
xià yī kè ， shì yě hōng rán biàn huà 。
下一刻，视野轰然变化。
---
gēn běn tǐ de lián xì bèi qiē duàn 。
跟本体的联系被切断。
The next moment, the scenery changed drastically.
fēn chū de zhè lǚ shén shí ， tóu rù dào yī jù shēn tǐ zhī nèi 。
分出的这缕神识，投入到一具身体之内。
His connection to the main body was severed.
tóng shí ， wú shù xìn xī rú cháo shuǐ bān yǒng lái 。
同时，无数信息如潮水般涌来。
This thread of divine consciousness was absorbed by a physical body.
fù shēn suǒ zài ， bù guò shì wèi fán rén 。
附身所在，不过是位凡人。
Simultaneously, countless pieces of information surged like a tidal wave.
zú zú yòng le jǐ tiān shí jiān ， cái zài tóu nǎo zhèn tòng zhī zhōng ， jiāng xìn xī quán bù xī shōu 。
足足用了几天时间，才在头脑阵痛之中，将信息全部吸收。
The entity he possessed was just an ordinary person.
lǐ fán miàn lù gǔ guài zhī sè 。
李凡面露古怪之色。
It took several days for him to absorb all this information amidst intense headaches.
zhè cuǐ càn yuán qiú nèi ， hè rán shì yí gè xū gòu de shí kōng 。
这璀璨圆球内，赫然是一个虚构的时空。
Li Fan's expression turned strange.
zhèng zhí wáng cháo mò nián ， guān liáo fǔ xiǔ ， mín bù liáo shēng 。
正值王朝末年，官僚腐朽，民不聊生。
Inside the dazzling sphere was a fabricated space-time continuum.
gèng yǒu zāi huò sì qǐ ， è piǎo biàn dì 。
更有灾祸四起，饿殍遍地。
In the late dynasty era, officials were corrupt and people lived in dire straits. Disasters abounded, leaving corpses scattered everywhere.
bǎi xìng zhǐ qiú fàn bǎo ， què zhǐ shì shē wàng 。
百姓只求饭饱，却只是奢望。
People only wished for enough food but it remained a distant dream.
yú shì zài jué wàng zhōng ， fèn qǐ fǎn jī 。
于是在绝望中，奋起反击。
Thus, they rose up to fight back out of desperation.
rú jīn gè dì láng yān sì qǐ ， ér lǐ fán fù shēn suǒ zài ， jiù shì qí zhōng yī zhī qǐ yì jūn zhōng ， yī míng bù qǐ yǎn de xiǎo rén wù 。
如今各地狼烟四起，而李凡附身所在，就是其中一支起义军中，一名不起眼的小人物。
Now, amidst the flames of rebellion across the land, Li Fan was just an unremarkable figure within one of these rebel forces.
yīn wèi xiāo huà zhī shí ， shén sè huǎng hū ， bèi dàng zuò dé le guài bìng 。
因为消化知识，神色恍惚，被当做得了怪病。
Due to digesting knowledge, he appeared dazed and was treated as if he had a strange illness.
bèi sòng rù jūn yī chù yī zhì 。
被送入军医处医治。
He was sent to the military physician for treatment.
zhè jūn yī yě yǒu xiē mén dào ， zhǐ guān chá le yī yǎn ， jiù kāi le fù ān shén de fāng zi 。
这军医也有些门道，只观察了一眼，就开了副安神的方子。
The physician knew his way around and prescribed some calming medicine after a brief observation.
lǐ fán huí guò shén lái ， zhèng zhǔn bèi lí kāi shí 。
李凡回过神来，正准备离开时。
When Li Fan regained his senses, he was about to leave when suddenly, a prompt appeared before him: "Discovery of a potential kingmaker: Bai Moxi."
yǎn qián què shì hū de fú xiàn chū yī dào tí shì ：“ fā xiàn wáng zuǒ zhī cái ， bái mò xiū 。”
眼前却是忽的浮现出一道提示：“发现王佐之才，白默休。”
"Current favor points: 1."
“ dāng qián hǎo gǎn dù ：1。”
“当前好感度：1。”
Li Fan's expression turned even more peculiar.
lǐ fán de shén sè bù jīn yǒu xiē gǔ guài 。
李凡的神色不禁有些古怪。
"What is this nonsense from the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance?"
“ wàn xiān méng zhè gǎo de shén me guǐ 。”
“万仙盟这搞的什么鬼。”
Without further interaction with the physician named Bai Moxi, Li Fan wandered around the rebel camp.
zàn shí méi yǒu guò duō de gēn zhè jūn yī bái mò xiū jiē chù ， lǐ fán ér shì zài zhè qǐ yì jūn dà yíng zhōng guàng le yī quān 。
暂时没有过多的跟这军医白默休接触，李凡而是在这起义军大营中逛了一圈。
Within just three or four days, he discovered a "legendary general," two "ancient divine weapons," and countless other promising talents.
bù guò sān sì tiān gōng fu ， jiù fā xiàn le “ jué shì míng jiàng ” yī míng ，“ shàng gǔ shén bīng ” liǎng bǐng 。
不过三四天功夫，就发现了“绝世名将”一名，“上古神兵”两柄。
Some only had vague favor point prompts, while others even had detailed guidance on how to approach them.
qí tā shén me kě sù zhī cái ， gèng shì bù jì qí shù 。
其他什么可塑之材，更是不计其数。
Their likes, personalities, and weaknesses were known in great detail.
yǒu de zhǐ yǒu cū lüè de hǎo gǎn dù tí shì ， dàn yǒu de jiù shèn zhì hái yǒu gōng lüè tí xǐng 。
有的只有粗略的好感度提示，但有的就甚至还有攻略提醒。
Li Fan became intrigued.
duì fāng de ài hào 、 xìng qíng 、 ruò diǎn ， dōu néng zhī dào de yì qīng èr chǔ 。
对方的爱好、性情、弱点，都能知道的一清二楚。
Following the prompts, he interacted with each one, catering to their preferences.
lǐ fán lái le xìng qù 。
李凡来了兴趣。
Soon enough, his previously unremarkable status within the rebel forces began to change.
àn zhào chū xiàn de tí shì ， yī yī jiē chù 、 tóu qí suǒ hào 。
按照出现的提示，一一接触、投其所好。
After more than ten days, he received a warning that the enemy would launch a surprise attack at night.
hěn kuài cóng zhī qián zài qǐ yì jūn zhōng de mò mò wú wén ， jiù biàn dé yǒu xiē míng qì le 。
很快从之前在起义军中的默默无闻，就变得有些名气了。
But instead of warning them, he gathered some loyalists and prepared secretly.
shí duō tiān hòu ， tā gèng shì dé dào le yè lǐ guān jūn jí jiāng tōu xí de tí xǐng 。
十多天后，他更是得到了夜里官军即将偷袭的提醒。
The rebels were instantly routed by the nighttime assault.
dàn què méi yǒu chū yán tí xǐng ， zhǐ shì lā lǒng le yī bāng xīn fù ， àn zhōng zhǔn bèi 。
但却没有出言提醒，只是拉拢了一帮心腹，暗中准备。
Li Fan managed to escape with his group.
qǐ yì jūn zài bèi yè xí zhī xià ， shùn jiān kuì bù chéng jūn 。
起义军在被夜袭之下，瞬间溃不成军。
As their leader who ensured everyone's survival, Li Fan gradually established his authority.
lǐ fán zé shì dài zhe yī bāng rén ， jiǎo xìng táo chū shēng tiān 。
李凡则是带着一帮人，侥幸逃出生天。
Following another prompt, he led just over a hundred people on a long march, capturing an empty city due to the military being out on a raid against bandits.
zuò wéi dài lǐng dà jiā huó xià lái de lǐng xiù ， lǐ fán zhú jiàn jiàn lì qǐ le wēi xìn 。
作为带领大家活下来的领袖，李凡逐渐建立起了威信。
He now had a place of his own.
ér hòu gēn jù yǎn qián zài dù chū xiàn de tí shì ， zhǐ kào zhe bù guò bǎi rén ， cháng tú bēn xí zhī xià ， jiù zhàn jù le yī zuò yīn wèi jiǎo fěi ér jūn duì wài chū de nèi bù kōng xū xiǎo chéng 。
而后根据眼前再度出现的提示，只靠着不过百人，长途奔袭之下，就占据了一座因为剿匪而军队外出的内部空虚小城。
---
yǒu le zì jǐ de róng shēn zhī dì 。
有了自己的容身之地。
With this as a starting point, he slowly began to absorb neighboring territories.
yǐ cǐ wèi qǐ diǎn ， màn màn tūn bìng zhōu biān shì lì 。
以此为起点，慢慢吞并周边势力。
Within five years, he swept across the world, toppled the corrupt dynasty, and became a founding emperor.
bù guò wǔ nián shí jiān ， jiù sǎo qīng huán yǔ ， tuī fān le fǔ xiǔ de wáng cháo tǒng zhì ， chéng jiù yí dài kāi guó jūn wáng 。
不过五年时间，就扫清寰宇，推翻了腐朽的王朝统治，成就一代开国君王。
The scenery before him fragmented layer by layer until everything returned to nothingness.
yǎn qián jǐng sè céng céng pò suì 。
眼前景色层层破碎。
Just as Li Fan pondered the purpose of this illusionary scene, the scenery changed again.
yī qiè huí guī yú xū wú zhī zhōng 。
一切回归于虚无之中。
Another fabricated space-time continuum unfolded.
zhèng dāng lǐ fán zhuó mó zhe ， zhè duàn xū huàn chǎng jǐng de yòng yì de shí hòu 。
正当李凡琢磨着，这段虚幻场景的用意的时候。
This time, it was an alternate cultivation world.
yǎn qián jǐng xiàng zài dù fā shēng biàn huà 。
眼前景象再度发生变化。
The entity he possessed was a commoner boy who had been rejected by Taiyi Sect due to lacking spiritual roots.
yòu shì yí gè xū huàn shí kōng 。
又是一个虚幻时空。
The boy begged and pleaded until he finally became a miscellaneous disciple.
zhè cì ， shì jià kōng xiū xiān shì jiè 。
这次，是架空修仙世界。
Originally thinking his life would be tough, he never expected that one day, while picking up a stone bead in the mountains, it revealed its extraordinary abilities: absorbing other objects and replenishing spiritual essence, significantly improving his资质.
fù shēn suǒ zài ， shì yī míng yīn wèi méi yǒu líng gēn ， ér bèi tài chū mén jù jué de fán rén shào nián 。
附身所在，是一名因为没有灵根，而被太初门拒绝的凡人少年。
With this treasure, Li Fan transformed from an ordinary person into a cultivator.
shào nián kǔ kǔ āi qiú ， zhè cái dé le míng zá yì dì zǐ de shēn fèn 。
少年苦苦哀求，这才得了名杂役弟子的身份。
He then advanced through Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, and Essence Body stages...
yuán běn yǐ wéi zhǐ néng jiān nán dù guò yī shēng 。
原本以为只能艰难渡过一生。
During this process, he not only gained three beautiful Daoist partners and ancient divine beasts as mounts but also stumbled upon the remains of immortals, acquiring unique treasures in the cultivation world.
què bù céng xiǎng dào ， yī cì yīn wèi pèng qiǎo zài hòu shān jiǎn dào yī méi shí zhū 。
却不曾想到，一次因为碰巧在后山捡到一枚石珠。
After wandering for a century within the cultivation world, he became the strongest cultivator of his time.
zhè shí zhū yǒu zhe tūn shì páng wù ， fǎn bǔ líng yè ， gǎi shàn zī zhì dì nì tiān gōng xiào 。
这石珠有着吞噬旁物，反哺灵液，改善资质的逆天功效。
He left with a companion, breaking through the skies.
zhèng shì kào zhe zhè bǎo wù ， lǐ fán cóng fán rén zhèng shì tuì biàn chéng wéi xiū xiān zhě 。
正是靠着这宝物，李凡从凡人正式蜕变成为修仙者。
The scene fragmented again.
ér hòu yí bù bù chéng wéi zhù jī 、 jīn dān 、 yuán yīng ……
而后一步步成为筑基、金丹、元婴……
Returning from this illusionary realm, Li Fan felt that his mindset had changed somewhat.
zài zhè guò chéng zhōng ， bù jǐn dé dào le sān wèi jué shì róng yán de dào lǚ ， yǐ jí shàng gǔ shén shòu dàng zuò zuò qí 。
在这过程中，不仅得到了三位绝世容颜的道侣，以及上古神兽当做坐骑。
But before he could analyze it further, he was plunged back into the cycle once more.
gèng shì qí yù lián lián ， fā xiàn le xiān rén yí zhǒng ， dé dào le xiū xiān jiè zhōng jué wú jǐn yǒu de xiān qì 。
更是奇遇连连，发现了仙人遗冢，得到了修仙界中绝无仅有的仙器。
Over the next ninety-seven cycles, Li Fan experienced similar scenarios.
zài xiū xiān jiè zhōng chuǎng dàng bǎi nián ， zuì zhōng chéng wéi dāng shì zuì qiáng zhě 。
在修仙界中闯荡百年，最终成为当世最强者。
Most were the same: starting humble and then achieving greatness through unexpected opportunities.
xié měi pò kōng ér qù 。
携美破空而去。
When all the cycles ended, the dazzling sphere in Li Fan's hand had completely dimmed and vanished.
huà miàn zài dù pò suì 。
画面再度破碎。
"..."
zhè cì cóng huàn jìng zhōng huí lái ， lǐ fán yǐn yǐn gǎn jué dào le ， zì jǐ de xīn tài chū xiàn le mǒu xiē biàn huà 。
这次从幻境中回来，李凡隐隐感觉到了，自己的心态出现了某些变化。
The experience of these hundred lifetimes was a mirage but felt incredibly real.
bù guò shàng qiě lái bù jí fēn xī ， jiù zài dù xiàn rù le lún huí huàn jìng zhī zhōng 。
不过尚且来不及分析，就再度陷入了轮回幻境之中。
It was very similar to his experiences with Senior Sister Zhao, almost as if it were real.
jiē xià lái ， lǐ fán zài dù jīng lì le jiǔ shí qī cì lún huí 。
接下来，李凡再度经历了九十七次轮回。
After so many cycles, even Li Fan's strong will couldn't remain unscathed.
zāo yù yě dōu dà tóng xiǎo yì 。
遭遇也都大同小异。
He slowly recited the Xuan Huang Immortal Heart Spell, gradually fading these memories.
dà dǐ shì chū shēn wēi mò ， ér hòu yì wài huò dé qí yù 。 suí hòu yī lù nì xí ， chéng jiù shì jiān zuì qiáng de lǎo tào gù shì 。
大抵是出身微末，而后意外获得奇遇。随后一路逆袭，成就世间最强的老套故事。
"The Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance really has some interesting tricks."
dāng quán bù lún huí dōu zhōng jié zhī hòu ， lǐ fán shǒu zhōng de nà méi cuǐ càn yuán zhū ， zé shì chè dǐ àn dàn xià lái 。 xiāo shī bú jiàn 。
当全部轮回都终结之后，李凡手中的那枚璀璨圆珠，则是彻底黯淡下来。消失不见。
Li Fan's expression was inexplicable.
“……”
“……”
Just a short while ago, this dazzling sphere had suddenly descended like a deluge onto some of the Five Elders' territories.
jiǔ shí jiǔ shì de lún huí jīng lì ， suī shuō shì huàn jìng 。
九十九世的轮回经历，虽说是幻境。
Countless cultivators and ordinary people were drawn to it out of curiosity, plunging them into these hundred lifetimes of cycles.
dàn què tài guò zhēn shí 。
但却太过真实。
---
gēn tā zài zhào shī jiě nà lǐ jīng lì de jí qí xiāng sì ， jí huàn shì zhēn 。
跟他在赵师姐那里经历的极其相似，极幻似真。
When they slowly woke up, although their bodies hadn't been affected, their minds had changed dramatically.
rú cǐ duō de lún huí xià lái ， jí biàn yǐ lǐ fán rú jīn de xīn zhì ， yě bù miǎn shòu le diǎn yǐng xiǎng 。
如此多的轮回下来，即便以李凡如今的心志，也不免受了点影响。
They all believed themselves to be "chosen ones."
huǎn màn yuǎn zhuǎn xuán huáng xiān xīn zhòu ， jiāng zhè xiē jīng lì zhú jiàn dàn huà 。
缓慢远转玄黄仙心咒，将这些经历逐渐淡化。
If only this was a one-sided belief, it wouldn't have mattered much.
“ wàn xiān méng zhè zhāo ， hái zhēn yǒu diǎn yì si 。”
“万仙盟这招，还真有点意思。”
But they realized that they lived in a world where the Five Eternal Sovereigns had forcibly altered the laws of nature and decided to overthrow the Five Elders' rule, rescuing cultivators from their miserable lives.
lǐ fán shén sè mò míng 。
李凡神色莫名。
After being washed by these hundred lifetimes, these people indeed changed.
zhè cuǐ càn yuán zhū ， qián bù jiǔ hū de rú tóng pāng tuó dà yǔ bān ， jiàng luò zài wǔ lǎo huì de yī xiē lǐng dì zhōng 。
这璀璨圆珠，前不久忽的如同滂沱大雨般，降落在五老会的一些领地中。
Instead of fighting head-on, they chose to bide their time, cultivating first before causing disruptions.
qí nèi wú shù xiū shì 、 fán rén ， zài hào qí zhī xià ， dōu bèi zhè yuán zhū xī yǐn le xīn shén 。
其内无数修士、凡人，在好奇之下，都被这圆珠吸引了心神。
Although not explicitly stated, it was clear that this dazzling sphere had caused significant headaches for the Five Elders' side.
xiàn rù le jiǔ shí jiǔ shì de lún huí zhī zhōng 。
陷入了九十九世的轮回之中。
Li Fan thought to himself: "Besides subtly awakening them, there's some kind of mental imprint."
dāng tā men màn màn xǐng lái zhī hòu ， suī rán shēn tǐ méi yǒu shòu dào shén me yǐng xiǎng 。
当他们慢慢醒来之后，虽然身体没有受到什么影响。
"Chosen ones? How can one be content with being a mere mortal!"
dàn shì xīn tài ， què fā shēng le tiān fān dì fù de biàn huà 。
但是心态，却发生了天翻地覆的变化。
"And actually planting the idea of overthrowing the Five Elders' rule under the influence of the Five Eternal Sovereigns."
nà jiù shì ……
那就是……
"A great treasure!"
shòu dào huàn jìng de yǐng xiǎng ， yuán běn nà xiē zhǐ shì zài píng yōng bù guò de rén 。 zài sū xǐng zhī hòu ， dōu mò míng zì rèn wéi zì jǐ shì “ tiān xuǎn zhī zi ”。
受到幻境的影响，原本那些只是再平庸不过的人。在苏醒之后，都莫名自认为自己是“天选之子”。
Even if Li Fan had been affected by this dazzling sphere, it wouldn't have mattered much.
ruò zhǐ shì dān fāng miàn zhè me rèn wéi ， yě méi yǒu shén me dà bù liǎo de 。
若只是单方面这么认为，也没有什么大不了的。
After all, he held the True Destiny in his hands and could be considered a true chosen one!
dàn tā men dōu rèn zhī dào le ， shēng huó zài bèi wǔ wèi cháng shēng tiān zūn nì tiān dì zhī lǐ ér qiáng xíng gǎi zào guò de shì jiè zhōng 。
但他们都认知到了，生活在被五位长生天尊逆天地之理而强行改造过的世界中。
Looking at the hundreds of dazzling spheres packed tightly inside the storage ring sent over by the Five Elders...
yú shì fēn fēn fā xià dà hóng yuàn ， yào tuī fān wǔ lǎo huì de tǒng zhì 。
于是纷纷发下大宏愿，要推翻五老会的统治。
He stroked his chin.
jiāng shì shàng de xiū shì ， cóng bēi cǎn de shēng huó zhōng jiě jiù chū lái 。
将世上的修士，从悲惨的生活中解救出来。
"The cost of these must not be high; otherwise, they wouldn't have been so generously distributed."
ér qiě jīng guò jiǔ shí jiǔ shì lún huí de xǐ lǐ ， zhè xiē rén dí què biàn dé yǒu xiē bù yí yàng le 。
而且经过九十九世轮回的洗礼，这些人的确变得有些不一样了。
He took out another sphere to examine it.
bù jǐn méi yǒu xuǎn zé yìng zhe lái ， ér shì huì qián fú 。
不仅没有选择硬着来，而是会潜伏。
The mind palace's Disentanglement Disc emitted a faint glow as it began to decipher it.
xiān xiū xíng ， suí hòu zài gǎo pò huài 。
先修行，随后再搞破坏。
"There are traces of an illusionary array."
suī rán méi yǒu jù tǐ chǎn shù ， dàn shì cóng wǔ lǎo huì nà biān de yǔ qì lái kàn ， zhè cuǐ càn bái qiú zào chéng de yǐng xiǎng 。
虽然没有具体阐述，但是从五老会那边的语气来看，这璀璨白球造成的影响。
"But more importantly..."
zhe shí ràng nà biān yǒu xiē tóu téng 。
着实让那边有些头疼。
Li Fan frowned. He sensed something familiar.
lǐ fán ruò yǒu suǒ sī dào ：“ chú le shǐ de xiū shì yǐn yǐn jué xǐng zhī wài ， hái yǒu zhe mǒu zhǒng jīng shén lào yìn bān de cún zài 。”
李凡若有所思道：“除了使得修士隐隐觉醒之外，还有着某种精神烙印般的存在。”
"Monkey Mind and Idle Thoughts?"
“ suǒ wèi tiān mìng zhī zi ， qǐ néng qū jū rén zhī xià ！”
“所谓天命之子，岂能屈居人之下！”
After some time, he found similarities in his past experiences.
“ jìng rán néng zài wǔ tiān zūn de yǐng xiǎng xià ， zhí rù tuī fān wǔ lǎo huì tǒng zhì de niàn tou 。”
“竟然能在五天尊的影响下，植入推翻五老会统治的念头。”
(End of Chapter)
Li Fan held a dazzling sphere in his hand and split off a thread of divine consciousness, drilling into it.
---
The next moment, the scenery changed drastically.
His connection to the main body was severed.
This thread of divine consciousness was absorbed by a physical body.
Simultaneously, countless pieces of information surged like a tidal wave.
