heavy losses, the Four Seas Merchant Alliance took advantage of the situation to prosper.Qing Xi's prestige was once again established.For many years, the Sihai Merchant League rose and fell like thi...To say it's opening one's eyes is not quite accurate.

Because this black phoenix had always been keeping its eyes open.

It died without closing its eyes.

It was an empty socket, devoid of anything.

For hundreds of years, time had passed in solitude, without a single response.

But at this moment, the soul fire ignited.

Here's the English translation, preserving HTML tags:

The inky black flames danced and flickered, describing a long dormant... power.

>

Now, the nine types of phoenixes, with the black one named Jia Xuan, exist here in this clean and desolate Diannan Abyss, reviving.

The Mountain in the Center.

Under the protection of the divine light, all those present heard the voice of chaos.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

That, or a manifesto.

A kind of metaphorically ideal.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Quishan stretched his mouth and said, “We all feel our blood boil after hearing this.”

Jiang Wang and they had already known part of the truth about the Shan Hai Realm, while Zhu Wei and Kui Shan had other channels of information.

For a moment, there was an unspoken understanding in the silence.

Only... Dou Zhao.

A series of battles, even the best armor can't withstand the wear and tear, becoming somewhat damaged.

>

But the color of that red with gold trim, on this one-armed man, was still dazzlingly brilliant.

>

He looked left and right, then said: "You seem to know something... that I don't. Something about the changes in this world"

He didn't care much about the changes in this world, but when disaster struck, he couldn't afford to be indifferent.

Especially at this moment, it seems like the whole world is awake while I am the only one drunk. It's rather unpleasant.

Jiang Wang glanced at Zuo Guangshu.

As fellow top-tier sons of the Chu state, Guangshu himself should be better at knowing his limits and understanding how much to say.

Zuo Guangshu said: “We did detect some clues and understand that the Shan Hai Realm was originally a virtual creation, a work left behind by Huang Wei Zhen back then.”

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Dou Zhao looked at him, noncommittal. This kind of statement has always existed and is not surprising.

"And Chaos is one of the strongest beings in this realm, its divine duty is to guard the Abyss of Withering South. This Abyss of Withering South shares some similarities with Calamity, so you can imagine Chaos's power... " Zuo Guangshu continued: "But it is not content to be confined to this world, its declaration just now you also heard. It wants to break free from the shackles of this world and go to the present world, to make the virtual real. It wants to transform from the illusory creature created by Huang Wei's true nature into a truly existing Chaos monster in the world. And thus, this war broke out. The black tide surrounding the mountain at this moment is its masterpiece. These resentment worms are precisely what surged from the Abyss of Withering South."

"It jumped right in! I thought it was going to do something. Isn't its goal just to enter the mortal realm Why are we stopping it" Dou Zhao laughed, "With that level of power, what storm could it possibly cause"

Why did Jiang Wang say before that for Zhú Jiǔyīn, in the crucial moment of confronting chaos, having the Nine Chapters Jade Seal in its hands would be more reliable than having it in the hands of them, the trialists

That is because, from beginning to end, they were indeed just passersby in this world. They needn't care at all what happened in this world. As long as their own safety and gains were ensured, they didn't have to care about anything else.

Just as Dou Zhao said, even if Chaos truly materialized from nothingness and stepped into the real world, what kind of major trouble could it possibly cause

Within the borders of Chu alone, there are more than just one or two true masters. A single hand could crush them all.

“That’s true…” Jiang Wang said: “But the problem is, it first blocked the rules of leaving this world, preventing the rest of us from retreating safely. Chaos’s way of doing things is hard to trust. Things have developed to this point, if we let it forcibly break this world, our safety will be at stake.”

Dou Zhao smiled but said nothing.

“I think the problem now is…” Zuo Guangshu frowned and said, “As a guardian of world order, why has world order collapsed to this extent, and Zhu Jiuyin is still silent”

>

“Perhaps it’s because it is very weak now” Yue Tiannu mused, “Unlike the one who abandoned its divine name early on and relied on its own understanding to confront the world's chaos. Candle Nine Yin, who has integrated more into this world, maintaining world order and upholding its divine duty, would undoubtedly suffer the most damage when the order of heaven and earth collapses. When the world is stable, it is at its strongest. So when the world collapses, it is at its weakest. This is the simplest truth.”

>

Zhú Jiǔyīn, due to upholding the order of the world, possesses the strongest power in the Shan Hai Realm. But precisely because of this, it respects the rules of the Shan Hai Realm more than anyone else.

Those who undergo trials to fulfill "heaven's will" do not cause much disruption, and in a way, it can be considered one of the reasons for the collapse of the boundary between the world of Di Annan and the early arrival of Heavenly Collapse.

> It seems to be a sudden accident.

But the choices made by Chaos and Zhu Jiuyin over nine hundred years ago determined the experiences of the Shan Hai Jing for these past nine hundred years, and naturally, it also decided everything we see today.

The strongest Zhú Jiǔyīn of the mountains and seas in the past may now be so weak that he can't even move...

Perhaps this is the reason why Chaos, the mountain and sea, is irresistible.

Yuetian's analysis makes a lot of sense.

But Jiang Wang felt... it definitely wouldn't be that simple.

Even at this earth-shattering moment, Zhu Jiuyin would never be completely powerless to resist.

Previously, at Di Nang Yuan, being able to summon the Food Desire Beasts to obstruct the Withering Tower's exit was proof - proof that even Zhu Jiu Yin could circumvent the rules of the Shan Hai Jing world to a certain extent!

This does not contradict its respect for the rules of the world. For example, under the supreme rule of maintaining the stability of the Mountains and Seas Realm, can it indirectly and slightly influence the safety of the testers

No one can figure out all the rules that Huang Wei set when she first created the Shan Hai Jing.

But Jiang Wang believed that Zhu Jiu Yin, affected by the collapse of the world, might not be as astonishing as imagined.

Then why is it silent

Why hand over the power of speech to chaos

>

Unless... that doesn't matter.

Does what Chaos says, that which is impassioned, fervent, and tenacious... not matter

Even though the fact is that we are already standing on the opposite side of chaos, this speculation is still chilling.

A deafening roar shattered Jiang Wang's thoughts.

The first thing he saw was a ghastly white, spiral-shaped object.

And then it began to clear, revealing more details.

Suddenly, from within that surging black tide, a pair of colossal, spiraling horns, each dozens of meters long, emerged and rammed forward, striking the solid divine light shield head-on.

The divine light shield, which had been motionless for a long time before the Black Tide, rippled with waves!

These two massive horns, a ghastly white, bore deep, spiraling grooves.

The power and might it represents has already been proven by the reaction of the Divine Light's embrace.

Who does it belong to

Who is it

All the people on Mount Central raised their vigilance.

The true onslaught of chaos is about to begin.

After the proclamation to mobilize the whole country, war naturally became all-encompassing.

In the colossal tumult where the curve and divine radiance clashed, even the rolling tide of darkness couldn't remain untouched. Those resentful worm souls swayed and coalesced under the surge of immense power, like ebb and flow… And thus, two agile and powerful forelegs emerged.

The indigo-black hooves were like two pillars, supporting the majority of the body still submerged in the black tide, that unknown entity. Treading within the black tide, transmitting infinite might.

And those two curved corners, retreating and then charging forward again.

It seemed determined to bring down the mountain of the center with its own power.

Massive ripples, centered on the two points where the arc and the divine light shield touched, rapidly spread outward across the entire divine light shield. A sense of imminent terror hung in the air.

Dou Zhao took a step forward directly, and the Tianshao blade lifted slightly.

Sizzle.

like the sound of cloth tearing.

The Black Tide is not a true tide, after all, but a swarm of resentment worms, hate spirits, the convergence of countless negative energies. It can even be understood as countless lives.

Then this crack, this shriek, is the lament of their coming together.

Of course, many were killed.

In the boundless abyss of darkness, a colossal rift tears open the heavens. Like a canyon, the tides surge towards it and plunge into nothingness. While devouring countless vengeful insects, souls of hate, severed limbs, and decaying bones, it also reveals the true form of this mysterious behemoth.

It was a giant monster, hundreds of meters long, shaped like an ox.

Its skull was white, with a single vertical eye in the center of its brow. Its four hooves were off the ground, powerful and strong, but its tail was a black serpent, hissing and spitting venom.

"Cough, cough! Cough! Cough!"

The moment Fang Hualing saw the strange beast, she suddenly coughed violently.

Wang Changji glanced at him, casually pressed his hand, and a ball of dark purple lightning leaped into the air silently, heading straight for Fang Huelin.

It's hard to describe Fang Hueling's feelings when he saw the bolt of lightning.

Especially the expression on this face when he unleashed that bolt of lightning...

Every muscle in his body was resisting, his pupils almost contracted to the limit, but he stood still, enduring the thunderbolt.

...A jet-black bolt of lightning struck Fang Hualing, exploding silently. As the lightning flashed, a wisp of dark yellow smoke emerged from the top of Fang Hualing's head and vanished instantly...

His cough stopped.

At this point, he realized that Wang Changji was warding off evil spirits for him.

The beast currently battering the divine light shield is none other than the legendary monster known as "fei," a creature whose very existence brings widespread calamity. Its powers are such that water dries up when it passes through, and vegetation withers in its wake. A single glimpse of it can bring plague upon the land.

And as everyone knows, the heir of the Ge clan who yearned for a thousand years to find a beast companion, that prodigious genius named Ge Fei... now there is only a human skin lying limply there.

After arduous journeys and fierce battles, ending in death, they finally met again.

Nothing is crueler than fate.

None of those present truly knew if Ge Fei had successfully escaped before the sky turned. With only a layer of human skin left, did he truly die within the Shan Hai Realm But Ge and Fei seemed fated never to meet. For years, from calamity to the Shan Hai Realm, they returned empty-handed time and again.

The name 'Gèfēi' itself reveals a natural tinge of tragedy.

But in the vast expanse of this world, a mere leather workshop is truly insignificant.

The mighty river flows eastward, but the reputation of Yue's famed cavalry, the Ge Fei, is nothing more than a ripple on its surface.

...it didn't seem to make a ripple in anyone's heart.

Dou Zhao's strike unleashed a rift in the heavens, briefly cleaving through the tide of darkness and revealing the shape of the fiendish beast. However, it failed to inflict even a scratch on the creature, not even leaving a white mark. After all, this was a genuine, formidable alien beast with divine power. In a true fight, it wasn't necessarily weaker than the leather-clad fiend that had been possessed earlier.

The punishment of a single blade is insufficient.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"How do we do this" Dou Zhao looked at everyone, his eyes full of eagerness.

Although he was asking for everyone's opinion, his posture and the way he held his blade clearly indicated that he intended to charge straight into the Black Tide. He wasn't really asking; he was saying — who will come with me

Jiang Wang hurriedly said, “It’s better to slash a few more times and see the situation around us before we talk.”

Dou Zhao curled his lips, nonchalantly turned his head back, and swung his sword across the sky!

In an instant, nine fissures in heaven were slashed open.

Just in the tide of black that engulfed even the vaulted ceiling, nine long voids were made.

Thus, everyone could see clearly—

Within the surging black tide, there is indeed more than just rumor.

There was a nine-headed chimera with the head of a man and the body of a bird. The nine heads were whispering to each other. When one of them noticed that the Black Tide had been pulled open, revealing themselves to the people on Mount Central, one head even sang enthusiastically.

The song sang, "Who will kill me at Fengqiu I bring my soul to inquire about the murderer. Yesterday, yesterday, has already become yesterday. Come, come, there is no longer me..."

There is no doubt that this is the Nine Phoenix that Jiang Wang and others rushed to Beitian Mountain in the North Pole but failed to find. It turned out to be in the chaotic camp as well.

During all these years that Chaos was imprisoned in the Southern Abyss, he certainly wasn't idle!

...it was just that the song was so strange, the tune was strange, and the lyrics were strange. It sang about how it would be killed in the future, and it went to find its killer with its own future soul in its mouth...

Zuo Guangshu stared at it blankly, and suddenly tears streamed down his face!

Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!

Jiang Wang strode forward, pointing directly at Zuo Guangshu's brow with his index finger. The crimson glow of immortality dyed the Tongtian Palace, clarifying his daoist heart. Zuo Guangshu was just breaking free from that state of grief and sorrow.

Zuo Guangshen's strength and talent are undoubtedly superior to Fang Heiling's, but in terms of will, he is not as tenacious as Fang Heiling, who has always been humble and low-key, never revealing his presence.

So he was not affected by the beast's influence, but in a moment of carelessness, he was disturbed by the song of the nine phoenixes.

As for the others, they were all as cool and collected as cucumbers.

>

"This sounds worse than our broken drum!" Quishan still had the mood to criticize.

Jiang Wang didn't ask Zuo Guangshu what he had just thought of, she just silently stood in front of him, giving him space to quietly wipe away his tears.

Nine fissures in the heavens flashed briefly within the black tide.

But there were more than just one Jinfeng who had given themselves away.

There was also a beast shaped like a rabbit, with the beak of a bird, the eyes of an eagle, and the tail of a snake. Around it, swarms of locusts and grasshoppers whirled and buzzed.

It is said to be the armadillo.

Please note: I've removed the unnecessary " " from your input before translating. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

This beast calls itself by name, cunning and timid, yet it is the mastermind behind locust plagues. In many places today, farmers have a traditional custom of driving armadillos away.

>

The monsters in the black tide, it seems, are not just limited to a single evil fiend!

Although there was nothing else besides these three, the nine fissures opened up a perspective that, compared to the vast black tide, was merely a narrow corner.

Who knows how many more powerful monsters lurk within the black tide

This is truly terrifying.

If one divine beast can be fought, how about two How about three

Even a fierce warrior like Dou Zhao had, for a moment, lost the desire to charge into the Black Tide.

Matters of life and death are no longer about being prepared, but a stark and bloody reality staring us in the face.

You have to face it!

"After this declaration of chaos was made, there was indeed a spirit of rebellion and everyone following suit!"

Please provide me with the text you would like me to translate. I can help with that!

“If Zhu Jiu Yin doesn’t appear, we will definitely not be able to hold Central Mountain.” Kui Shan chuckled and said, “Have you, Junior Brother Jiang, thought about your escape route”

He was addressing Zhu Weiwu, but the question was directed at Jiang Wang.

The people in this world of mountains and seas are really awkward.

Jiang Wang blinked her eyes.

>

This burly man seemed to have some inexplicable opinion of himself. But for the sake of Zhu Wei, he didn't intend to hold a grudge.

He simply said, “Let’s wait a little longer.”

"What are you waiting for" Qiushan asked.

“There are two reasons worth waiting for,” Jiang Wang said with certainty. “First, on the outer layer, we have killed the possessed Ge Fei to the limit that a Shan Hai Realm trialist can achieve. And I believe the rules of this world are fair, so those of us holding the Nine Chapters Jade Tablet should not be harassed again.”

As he spoke, his eyes remained serenely fixed on the Black Current, as though addressing the unknowable chaos lurking somewhere within it. It was as if he were saying, "Come!"

His voice wasn't impassioned, nor did it try to sound forceful. It was simply clear and confident: "Second, we definitely aren't the ones who most hope for Zhongsan Mountain to fall. It makes no sense that only we are here giving our all."

Being surrounded by so many powerful monsters, with the world collapsing like this, it's understandable that figures like Zuo Guangshu and Fang He Ling would feel anxious. However, Jiang Wang's composed and confident demeanor undoubtedly gave them hope.

“Even the fairest rules are meaningless if they can't be maintained.” Kui Shan said, “The world has fallen apart...”

I cast a glance at him, and the burly man rolled his eyes before swallowing the rest of his words. previous signed books are gone, but readers have always wanted autographs, many signed postcards were made this time.All of these were signed by me when I stayed late at work.Please note that this is...
