miàn duì hàn hǎi de qì xuè zhì wèn ， nà wèi “ tiān jué zūn zhě ” zhōng yú zhuǎn tóu “ kàn ” le guò lái 。
面对瀚海的泣血质问，那位“天绝尊者”终于转头“看”了过来。
Facing the blood-curdling questions from Hanei, the "Heavenly Annihilation Venerable" finally turned his head to look over.
yǎn jīng yī jiù méi yǒu zhēng kāi ， shēng yīn yě shì pǒ wèi gǔ guài 。
眼睛依旧没有睁开，声音也是颇为古怪。
His eyes remained closed, and his voice was peculiar—intermittent, sometimes loud, sometimes soft.
shí duàn shí xù 、 hū dà hū xiǎo 。
时断时续、忽大忽小。
"Who am I?"
“ wǒ shì shuí ？”
“我是谁？”
"...Guess."
“…… nǐ cāi ？”
“……你猜？”
As he spoke, his left hand suddenly clenched tightly.
shuō zhè huà de tóng shí ， tā zuǒ shǒu měng dì yī wò 。
说这话的同时，他左手猛地一握。
The once silent Cloud Water Heavenly Palace, save for Hanei and Taiyi, now echoed with the agonized screams of its dying disciples.
zǎo yǐ jīng yī piàn sǐ jì 、 chú le hàn hǎi hé tài yī yǐ wài ， zài wú qí tā xìng cún zhě de yún shuǐ tiān gōng ， cǐ kè jìng rán yòu tóng shí xiǎng qǐ le zhòng dì zǐ men lín sǐ qián de tòng kǔ āi háo shēng 。
早已经一片死寂、除了瀚海和太一以外，再无其他幸存者的云水天宫，此刻竟然又同时响起了众弟子们临死前的痛苦哀嚎声。
Hanei, nailed to mid-air, could see translucent figures rising from his fallen comrades' bodies. Their faces were filled with terror and despair as if still in that final moment before death.
bèi dīng zài bàn kōng 、 wú fǎ dòng tán de hàn hǎi ， gèng shì kàn dào yī dào dào tòu míng de shēn yǐng ， zì dì zǐ men de cán shī chù shēng qǐ 。
被钉在半空、无法动弹的瀚海，更是看到一道道透明的身影，自弟子们的残尸处升起。
"Ahhhhhhh..."
fǎng fú réng rán tíng liú zài sǐ wáng qián de chà nà ， tā men de liǎn shàng mǎn shì jīng kǒng yǔ jué wàng 。
仿佛仍然停留在死亡前的刹那，他们的脸上满是惊恐与绝望。
What the "Heavenly Annihilation Venerable" did was not just a simple killing; he wanted the disciples of Cloud Water Heavenly Palace to be tormented by their own deaths for eternity!
“ a a a a a a a a ……”
“啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊……”
What grudge could be so great, to commit such a vile act?
nà wèi “ tiān jué zūn zhě ” suǒ zuò de ， bù jǐn jǐn shì jiǎn dān de “ shā sǐ ”！
那位“天绝尊者”所做的，不仅仅是简单的“杀死”！
Bursting with sorrow and anger, Hanei struggled against his restraints. But he couldn't budge those black rays that pierced through him, only causing him to bleed from every orifice in agony.
ér shì yào ràng yún shuǐ tiān gōng de dì zǐ men ， yǒng shì huó zài sǐ wáng qián nà ge chà nà de tòng kǔ zhé mó zhōng ！
而是要让云水天宫的弟子们，永世活在死亡前那个刹那的痛苦折磨中！
Hanei watched helplessly as the Venerable turned the dead disciples into beings half-alive, half-dead.
jiū jìng yǒu hé děng chóu yuàn ， cái huì xíng rú cǐ è dú zhī shì ？
究竟有何等仇怨，才会行如此恶毒之事？
"Heavenly Annihilation Venerable, master of killing."
xīn zhōng bēi fèn zhì jí ， hàn hǎi bào fā chū quán lì ， xiǎng yào zhèng tuō kòng zhì 。
心中悲愤至极，瀚海爆发出全力，想要挣脱控制。
"This kind of method is definitely not something He could do."
dàn què gēn běn wú fǎ hàn dòng nà xiē guàn chuān zì jǐ shēn tǐ de hēi máng ， fǎn dào shì yīn wèi fǎn zhèn ， dǎo zhì zì jǐ qī qiào liú xiě 、 qī cǎn zhì jí ！
但却根本无法撼动那些贯穿自己身体的黑芒，反倒是因为反震，导致自己七窍流血、凄惨至极！
"No, no..."
hàn hǎi zhǐ néng yǎn zhēng zhēng de kàn zhuó yǎn qián zhè rén ， jiāng yǐ jīng sǐ qù de dì zǐ men quán dōu zhuǎn huà chéng shì shēng fēi shēng 、 shì sǐ fēi sǐ de bēi cǎn cún zài ！
瀚海只能眼睁睁的看着眼前这人，将已经死去的弟子们全都转化成似生非生、似死非死的悲惨存在！
Hanei's eyes glazed over as he muttered to himself. After a moment, it seemed like an epiphany struck him: "Heavenly Physician? You are the Heavenly Physician!?"
“ tiān jué zūn zhě ， zhǔ shā fá zhī dào 。”
“天绝尊者，主杀伐之道。”
As Hanei shouted this, the figure tormenting his disciples paused slightly.
“ rú cǐ shǒu duàn ， jué duì bú shì tā néng zuò dào de 。”
“如此手段，绝对不是祂能做到的。”
Then, a twisted smile appeared on its face.
“ bú duì ， bú duì ……”
“不对，不对……”
"Heavenly Physician..."
hàn hǎi shuāng mù shī shén ， zuǐ lǐ nán nán dī yǔ 。
瀚海双目失神，嘴里喃喃低语。
"Haha, not bad. I am indeed the Heavenly Physician!"
piàn kè zhī hòu ， fǎng fú xiǎng dào le shén me ， hàn hǎi shēn qū wēi zhèn ：“ tiān yī ？ nǐ shì tiān yī ！？”
片刻之后，仿佛想到了什么，瀚海身躯微震：“天医？你是天医！？”
With these words, Hanei's world changed dramatically. The "Heavenly Annihilation Venerable" suddenly transformed into the appearance of the Heavenly Physician—benevolent and righteous, yet performing such horrifying deeds!
suí zhe hàn hǎi hǎn chū cǐ huà ， nà dào zhé mó yún shuǐ tiān gōng zhòng dì zǐ de shēn yǐng yě shì wēi wēi yī dùn 。
随着瀚海喊出此话，那道折磨云水天宫众弟子的身影也是微微一顿。
The black sword lights that bound him turned into thin needles.
ér hòu liǎn shàng lù chū le gè guǐ yì de xiào róng 。
而后脸上露出了个诡异的笑容。
"Sure enough! Why, Heavenly Physician!"
“ tiān yī ……”
“天医……”
Hanei, having finally realized the truth, roared in anger.
“ hē hē hē ， bù cuò 。 wǒ jiù shì tiān yī ！”
“呵呵呵，不错。我就是天医！”
"Why! Why!"
cǐ yán jì chū ， hàn hǎi yǎn zhōng de shì jiè hōng rán yī biàn 。
此言既出，瀚海眼中的世界轰然一变。
He kept asking questions. But the Heavenly Physician ignored him, his expression unchanged.
yuán běn “ tiān jué zūn zhě ” mú yàng de xíng xiōng zhī rén ， qǐng kè jiān hè rán biàn chéng le tiān yī de mú yàng ！
原本“天绝尊者”模样的行凶之人，顷刻间赫然变成了天医的模样！
His cloudy eyes seemed to appreciate the "resurrection" of the Cloud Water disciples as if admiring a masterpiece.
mǎn mù cí bēi ， dào mào àn rán 。 xíng de què shì rú cǐ hài rén tīng wén zhī shì ！
满目慈悲，道貌岸然。行的却是如此骇人听闻之事！
The newly resurrected disciples were first bewildered by their transparent bodies before looking around. Slowly, they realized what had happened to them.
ér kùn zhù hàn hǎi de nà xiē hēi sè jiàn guāng ， yě biàn chéng le yī gēn gēn hēi sè xì zhēn ！
而困住瀚海的那些黑色剑光，也变成了一根根黑色细针！
Hanei's roar revealed who was responsible for all this suffering.
“ guǒ rán shì zhè yàng ！”
“果然是这样！”
"Heavenly Physician!"
“ wèi shén me ！ tiān yī ！”
“为什么！天医！”
"Heavenly Physician!"
zì yǐ wéi kān pò le zhēn shí de hàn hǎi ， fā chū le jīng tiān dòng dì de nù hǒu 。
自以为勘破了真实的瀚海，发出了惊天动地的怒吼。
Angry and resentful cries echoed throughout the Cloud Water Heavenly Palace, sending shivers down everyone's spine.
“ wèi shén me ！ wèi shén me ！”
“为什么！为什么！”
But the Heavenly Physician seemed to be enjoying a symphony as he looked on with a contented expression. This made it even harder for Hanei’s fellow disciples to control their emotions, wishing they could devour the Heavenly Physician alive.
tā bù tíng dì zhì wèn zhe 。
他不停地质问着。
Yet, trapped by him, all they could do was futilely scream without making any resistance.
ér tiān yī què zhì ruò wǎng wén ， liǎn shàng de shén qíng zì shǐ zhì zhōng dōu méi yǒu sī háo gǎi biàn 。
而天医却置若罔闻，脸上的神情自始至终都没有丝毫改变。
After an indeterminate amount of time, the Heavenly Physician seemed satisfied and his face changed abruptly.
zhǐ shì nà hún zhuó de yǎn zhū zhōng ， dài zhe diǎn xīn shǎng shì de ， kàn zhe “ sǐ ér fù shēng ” de yún shuǐ tiān gōng dì zǐ 。
只是那浑浊的眼珠中，带着点欣赏似的，看着“死而复生”的云水天宫弟子。
With a cold snort, endless darkness engulfed everyone in the Cloud Water Heavenly Palace.
rú tóng guān shǎng zì jǐ de jié zuò yì bān 。
如同观赏自己的杰作一般。
...
xīn shēng de dì zǐ men xiān shì mǎn liǎn máng rán ， kàn zhe zì jǐ yǒu xiē tòu míng de shēn qū ， ér hòu cháo zhe sì zhōu zhāng wàng 。
新生的弟子们先是满脸茫然，看着自己有些透明的身躯，而后朝着四周张望。
The scene cut off. When light returned, it was back to when Hanei and Taiyi were conversing in the grand hall.
dàn zhú jiàn de ， tā men yě màn màn yì shí dào le fā shēng zài zì jǐ shēn shàng de shì qíng 。
但逐渐的，他们也慢慢意识到了发生在自己身上的事情。
"Seems like this nightmare is the source of Hanei's torment."
hàn hǎi de nù hǒu gèng shì ràng tā men míng bái le zhè yī qiè de zuì kuí huò shǒu shì shuí 。
瀚海的怒吼更是让他们明白了这一切的罪魁祸首是谁。
Li Fan thought to himself as he revisited the memory from Hanei’s perspective a few more times, confirming there were no other abnormalities. He intended to leave but found he couldn’t find an exit!
“ tiān yī ！”
“天医！”
The scene here was cycling endlessly, becoming increasingly similar to real time.
“ tiān yī ！”
“天医！”
If one could wake up from dreams or memories, how could they return to reality?
cǐ qǐ bǐ fú de yuàn dú nù hǒu shēng ， xiǎng chè yún shuǐ tiān gōng zhōng 。
此起彼伏的怨毒怒吼声，响彻云水天宫中。
With all external connections severed, Li Fan tried various methods to escape but failed every attempt.
lìng rén máo gǔ sǒng rán 。
令人毛骨悚然。
He remained calm. After all, only a fragment of his consciousness had come here; the main entity would recover in no time.
ér nà wèi tiān yī ， què hǎo xiàng tīng zhe shén me jué miào de yuè zhāng bān ， liǎn shàng jū rán fú xiàn chū táo zuì de shén qíng 。
而那位天医，却好像听着什么绝妙的乐章般，脸上居然浮现出陶醉的神情。
Given that escaping was hopeless and wouldn't harm him, this fragment of his consciousness could simply self-destruct.
zhè ràng yún shuǐ tiān gōng zhòng rén gèng shì nán yǐ kòng zhì zì shēn qíng xù ， hèn bù dé shēng dàn tiān yī zhī ròu 。
这让云水天宫众人更是难以控制自身情绪，恨不得生啖天医之肉。
But driven by survival instinct, Li Fan's consciousness still tried one more time to find a way out.
dàn tā men réng rán chù zài tiān yī de kòng zhì zhī zhōng ， zhǐ néng tú láo de fā chū sī hǒu 。
但他们仍然处在天医的控制之中，只能徒劳的发出嘶吼。
"Even I, an outsider, can’t escape from this endless nightmare. How much less so for Hanei?"
què wú fǎ zuò chū rèn hé fǎn kàng de jǔ dòng 。
却无法做出任何反抗的举动。
"But the cause behind the current situation is worth considering. Is it because Hanei was too traumatized and couldn't free himself? Or..."
bù zhī guò qù le duō jiǔ ， tiān yī fǎng fú tīng gòu le yì bān ， miàn sè hū de yī biàn 。
不知过去了多久，天医仿佛听够了一般，面色忽的一变。
Li Fan remained calm as he continued to experience the nightmare through Hanei's perspective.
suí zhe tā de lěng hēng ， wú jìn de hēi àn jiāng yún shuǐ tiān gōng zhòng rén tūn shì 。
随着他的冷哼，无尽的黑暗将云水天宫众人吞噬。
As he went through another hellish scene, during the Heavenly Physician's cold snort and the ensuing darkness, Li Fan concentrated on the darkness.
……
……
The darkness lasted only a few breaths. At first glance, it seemed just an absence of memory.
huà miàn jié rán ér zhì 。
画面截然而至。
But Li Fan noticed that the duration of the darkness was divided into two parts. The earlier part was when Hanei’s perception of the outside world was forcibly blocked by someone else.
děng zài yǒu liàng guāng chū xiàn de shí hòu ， yòu huí dào le bù jiǔ zhī qián ， dà diàn zhōng hàn hǎi yǔ tài yī duì huà de shí hòu 。
等再有亮光出现的时候，又回到了不久之前，大殿中瀚海与太一对话的时候。
Only after that did the nightmare cycle begin.
“ kàn lái ， zhè duàn è mèng bān de jì yì ， jiù shì zhé mó hàn hǎi de yuán tóu le 。”
“看来，这段噩梦般的记忆，就是折磨瀚海的源头了。”
Both phases appeared as a silent blackness to the deranged Hanei, who couldn’t distinguish between them. Only Li Fan, an outsider, could perceive these subtle differences.
lǐ fán àn zì sī cǔn dào 。
李凡暗自思忖道。
If not for his hardened heart and lack of emotional impact from witnessing the tragedy at Cloud Water Heavenly Palace, he might have failed to notice this difference.
yòu yǐ hàn hǎi de shì jiǎo ， zài dù guān kàn le jǐ biàn zhè ge jì yì ， què rèn méi yǒu qí tā yì cháng zhī hòu ， lǐ fán zhè lǚ shén shí biàn xiǎng yào cóng cǐ chù lí kāi 。
又以瀚海的视角，再度观看了几遍这个记忆，确认没有其他异常之后，李凡这缕神识便想要从此处离开。
With a new insight, Li Fan's consciousness waited in the nightmare cycle, trying to break through the darkness and witness what was happening outside.
dàn ràng lǐ fán méi xiǎng dào de shì ， tā jìng rán zhǎo bú dào chū qù de bàn fǎ le ！
但让李凡没想到的是，他竟然找不到出去的办法了！
"It seems that the Heavenly Physician didn't stop because He got tired. That sudden change in expression..."
zhè lǐ de chǎng jǐng ， zài bù duàn xún huán wǎng fù zhōng ， yǐ jīng biàn dé jí dù jiē jìn le zhēn shí shí kōng 。
这里的场景，在不断循环往复中，已经变得极度接近了真实时空。
"Someone is coming."
rú guǒ shuō cóng huàn mèng 、 jì yì zhōng ， shàng néng sū xǐng 。
如果说从幻梦、记忆中，尚能苏醒。
Li Fan realized. After patiently experiencing hundreds of cycles, piecing together the details from each fleeting glimpse like a puzzle, Li Fan finally reconstructed what happened during the brief moment of darkness.
dàn yòu zěn me néng cóng zhēn shí huí dào zhēn shí ne ？
但又怎么能从真实回到真实呢？
Shortly after the Heavenly Physician subdued everyone at Cloud Water Heavenly Palace, a figure streaked across the sky from afar.
gēn wài jiè de lián xì yǐ jīng qiē duàn ， lǐ fán cháng shì le zhū duō fāng fǎ xiǎng yào lí kāi ， què quán dōu yǐ shī bài gào zhōng 。
跟外界的联系已经切断，李凡尝试了诸多方法想要离开，却全都以失败告终。
The Heavenly Physician's expression turned mocking as he faded away.
lǐ fán què méi yǒu huāng zhāng 。
李凡却没有慌张。
That later figure was also in the form of the Heavenly Physician!
Facing the blood-curdling questions from Hanei, the "Heavenly Annihilation Venerable" finally turned his head to look over.
His eyes remained closed, and his voice was peculiar—intermittent, sometimes loud, sometimes soft.
"Who am I?"
"...Guess."
As he spoke, his left hand suddenly clenched tightly.
