The color was pale, and the shape was triangular.
It became increasingly awkward and unnatural.
This white tower, rising above this boundless expanse of blue sea, is utterly out of place with the sky and the sea.
A chilling air cascaded down like a waterfall.
The seawater seemed to have lost its vitality. Starting from near the White Pagoda, it gradually became murky inch by inch.
Jiang Wang's face instantly became very ugly: "I got caught again!"
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
"What's going on" Zuo Guangshu was both surprised and puzzled.
Even the moon slave, looking at this ever-rising tower of withering, has a grave expression in his eyes.
“Let’s go!” Jiang Wang immediately turned around. “Leave here first! Let’s talk as we walk!”
Zuo Guangshu and Yue Tiannu had no objections.
As they were speaking, the boundary between Di Nan Yuan and Shan Hai Jing in other places became clearly visible.
From the depths of Di Nan Yuan, countless souls, monsters, and strange beasts surged forth like a tidal wave, crashing outwards.
The invisible barrier rattled and roared as it was struck.
The tide of black rose higher and higher, almost reaching the height of the withered tower, soaring into the sky!
At this time, one could clearly see that between heaven and earth, a "black wall" suddenly grew.
Below, the sea connects to the depths of darkness; above, it merges with the heavens.
The intangible boundary suddenly became tangible, formless yet taking on form, without substance yet appearing substantial.
However, the details within the black wall, those writhing monsters, grotesque maws, bloody corpses, and tormented souls... are truly terrifying!
Three people began to flee again.
Jiang Wang stepped on the clouds, his voice urgent as he spoke: "This Withering Tower has been suppressing the evil thoughts in Di Nan Yuan all along. I understand that losing it would bring a catastrophe instantly. Besides, chaotic intentions wander within it, and I can't even show my doubts in Di Nan Yuan... But actually, I shouldn't have taken on this Withering Tower at all!"

"But…" Zuo Guangshu said, "If we hadn't answered then, it might have killed us directly, right"
Jiang Wang shook his head. "I guess it can't directly kill us."
"Within the Shenshen Wall, there remains the true will of Huang Wei Zhen. I received his divine seal teachings. This proves that the Shanhai Realm truly has the meaning of a trial ground, at least for those who enter with the Nine Chapters Jade Tablet. Even Chaos, no matter how powerful, cannot resist the will of Huang Wei Zhen, even though he is dead!"
Therefore, beyond the fundamental world structure, there must be another set of rules in the Shan Hai Jing. They are the rules left behind by Huang Wei Zhen, ensuring the continuation and fairness of the trials, maintaining his legacy. Of course, they can also restrict these mountain gods and sea gods within the Shan Hai Jing.
I saw a sentence on Mount Zhang'e——“Forever residing in this dwelling, bestowed with heavenly grace and divine name.”
In the Shan Hai Jing, a deity's name is both an endowment of power and an acceptance of responsibility. It is a unity of authority and duty.
"There are gods for gods and ghosts for ghosts."
They all have their own power, of course, and their own responsibilities.
Then, where is the chaos in Diannan Abyss I think it must maintain order in Diannan Abyss. Moreover, since Diannan Abyss it guards involves the inheritance of Jiufeng Chapter, providing clues to those who find Diannan Abyss about Jiufeng Chapter should also be one of its responsibilities. Otherwise, there's no need for it to explain Jiufeng to us in such detail.
Of course, these are just speculations, but Chaos must be bound by some kind of rule. Otherwise, with its immense power, it wouldn't have been sitting in front of the Sea God's Barrier for so long, until its body was covered in stones. It also wouldn't have put in so much effort to get us to take away the Withered Tower.
Think about it carefully, what have we done We just went around the Nan Yuan and brought out the Withering Tower. Why did it do this itself Because it can't do it at all!

Everything about "Wei Nan's disobedience," "the decline of the Divine Era," "Mount Zhangwei," and "chaotic thoughts" is all a pretense. It was completely aware all along, and I was being led around by it!"
Yue Tiannu had felt that the Chaos was problematic for a long time, but she also had her doubts: "But its chaotic will, violent aura, and overwhelming murderous intent are all real. I felt this deeply when I tried to appease it with the Heart Sutra."
"Yeah, those are all real. But it turns those...those things that should make us wary, into its reliable aspects." Jiang Wang murmured, "That's precisely what's terrifying about it."
The master said that Di Nang Yuan was similar to the evils of the world. Three palaces, Xinggong, would restrain the evils, and Xue He Sect would govern them. As the spirit of Di Nang Yuan, Chaos must have been given the divine duty to govern this place... And what Di Nang Yuan looks like, we all have seen it.
At this moment, Jiang Wang made a connection: "No, coming to Di Nan Yuan was a mistake."
"It doesn't care what we do, or what we get."
It doesn't need us to go to Zhōngshān or Zhāngwěi Mountain either.
"It only needs us to bring this white tower out of the Abyss of Withering... That's enough!"
"How did it know we were coming to Di'nan Abyss" Zuo Guangshu asked in the biting wind.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!
Jiang Wang countered, "How did you know to go to Beiji Tian Gui Shan to find the Nine Phoenixes To rely on the feathers of the Nine Phoenixes to find clues about the Nine Phoenix Seal, to rush to Diaonan Yuan"
“The method of seeking out the Nine Phoenix Chapters is itself a rule. Since Huang Wei Zhen left behind the Nine Phoenix Chapters, she must still be willing to have someone inherit them and has set up tests.”
He said with lingering fear, "When we appeared at the Bei-Ji Heavenly Cabinet Mountain, where we should go next, Chaos naturally knew. Because as the God of Diaonan Abyss, it was part of the Nine Phoenix Chapter inheritance rules itself. But... perhaps it doesn't fully follow this world's rules, already having the ability to challenge them slightly. That's why it sat in Diaonan Abyss, yet made Diaonan Abyss so desolate, leading to what we experienced."
Zuo Guangshen was a bit taken aback: "Brother Jiang, you're being a little too frightening..."
“When I was at the Tian Gui Mountain in the North Pole, a mysterious will infiltrated my five seas. I thought I had already seen through its schemes. But I was still influenced by it... I felt danger and wanted to see the truth, so I decided to rush to Di Nan Yuan!”

Jiang Wangyue said, how could he not be terrified himself
If Baiyun Tongzi had been beguiled, he would have to wait for the Yunding Xian Gong to rebel in the Five Mansion Sea. The consequences would be unimaginable. Baiyun Tongzi was not beguiled; he told everything he knew. He sensed the danger and must take action. But at that time, what other choice was there to get closer to the truth
Whatever you choose, it's wrong.
Everything is under the control of chaos!
"Dive into your five viscera seas" Left Guangshu shuddered with awe.
Even the moon slave listened with full attention.
"I've been thinking, that will is either the Candle Nine Yin or the Chaos. Now it's absolutely certain. And the disappearance of Jiufeng and Qiangliang must be related to it as well." Jiang Wang said slowly: "The changes in the Shan Hai Realm are what it caused. Perhaps it's not just it..."

“Why are we doing this” asked Zuo Guangshu. “It’s just to send the Withering Tower out of the Abyss of Decay… as you said, it’s a simple matter. Is there no other way”
“It might not be us, it could be someone else. But they must be someone who came to the Shan Hai Realm for the trial.” Jiang Wang shook his head and asked, “Do you remember how Chaos described Zhú Jiuyīn’s crimes”
Zuo Guangshu was still somewhat confused, but he quickly replied: "It says it defies the heavens above and tramples upon all the gods below."
"Heaven's will... that's the reason." Jiang Wangyue said, becoming more and more certain: "Because we entered the Shan Hai Realm for training with the Nine Chapters Jade Tablet, this was recognized by Huang Wei Zhen. We represent Huang Wei Zhen's will, we represent the will of this world! So we can take the Withering Tower out of the Southern Abyss of Decay. Chaos himself cannot do it, and neither can his other subordinates under his control, because they are all bound by 'Heaven's Will'."
“So that’s how it is!” Yue Tiannu suddenly realized, “At the time, I was quite puzzled. Zhú Jiǔyīn controls day and night, always constant. Since we entered the Shanhai Realm, there wasn't a single instance of it shifting. How could they say it defies Heaven's will It clearly embodies Heaven's will and is the upholder of order!”

"I still don't understand," said Zuo Guangshu. "If Huang Wei's true will is the will of heaven in this realm, then what is Chaos trying to do"
Jiang Wang looked at him: "You see, you have exceptional talent, a top-tier family background, relatives, friends, stories, and dreams. What if one day you discover that all along, you've actually been living in a cage, unable to get out forever Every word and deed of yours is always bound by some will. What would you do"
Zuo Guangshu's fist clenched suddenly, saying nothing, but already saying everything.
Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!
Jiang Wangdao: "What you want to do, Chaos wants to do."
This is the end of a paragraph.
As he spoke, Jiang Wang's mind drifted to the voice of that alluring white cloud boy from the Five Palaces Sea—
Freedom!

Perhaps it's not just about temptation
An existence capable of speech, yet it sat mute before the Sea God's Wall for nine hundred years.
There is such immense power, yet it lurks in a place as desolate as the Abyss of Withering...
There must be something supporting it.
A being who lives in a world dominated by Huang Wei's true will, yet desires to rebel against this world. Heaven grants names, but fights back against heaven's will.
There must be something, supporting it.
Weinan's refusal to submit, perhaps it was Huang Wei's true words left behind, entrusting his feelings for Chu State.
But it might not necessarily be the voice of chaos.
Chaotic used this phrase to provoke emotions in people like Zuo Guangshu, a Chu person, and he may have also had some sincerity behind it.

As the three conversed, they continued to fly swiftly. Jiang Wang remained at the front, leading the way.
"Now, what are you going to do" Yue Tiannu asked.
“This is no longer a problem we can solve,” Jiang Wang said. “I plan to find a nearby mountain god wall or sea god wall and tell Zhú Jiǔyīn about it. It should already know about Diānnán Yuān’s incident, but it may not know all the details.”
“That’s right,” said Zuo Guangshu. “Chaos wants to oppose Heaven’s Will and challenge the rules of this world. And Zhu Jiu Yin wants to uphold the rules of this world. Since we represent the Heaven’s Will of this realm, then Zhu Jiu Yin is our friend, and Chaos is our enemy.”
"Guangshen," Jiang Wang asked, "Do you think the food-devouring beast in Diannan Abyss just now was being controlled by someone"
"Isn't it chaos"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
“We are following the chaotic plan, why would it stop us What benefit does it have to assimilate us into the Abyss”
"Are you saying... Zhu Jiu Yin"
>
"That decaying tower truly protects us, at least within the Abyss of Decay. But in the Realm of Mountains and Seas, who else could command the food-seeking beasts to break through the protection of the decaying tower" Jiang Wang said earnestly, "Candle Nine Yin is the guardian of the order in the Realm of Mountains and Seas, but that doesn't necessarily make it our friend. Given that we are being used by Chaos, whether it seeks to help us or eliminate us is its own choice."
Yue Tiannu could tell that Jiang Wang was trying to wake Left Guangshu up to the realities of the world. This young master, raised in the noble Duke's mansion, was indeed well-read and knowledgeable, but he often remained naive.
That was once permitted innocence.
Washing Moon Monastery didn't really force anyone to be clear-headed, but she thought about it and added: "This is the Sea of Mountains Realm, but there's no doubt that it's also a very real world."
After all, we have already met by fate.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Based on the story of Wei Nan's unyielding spirit, and having some resonance with the predicament of chaos.
But as for Jiang Wang's analysis, Zuo Guangshu undoubtedly trusted more. Upon hearing this, he only said: "Although not friends, at least right now our goals with Zhu Jiuyin are the same. So we should notify it as soon as possible. Tell it all the details about Diannan Abyss."
"Our demands are not entirely in agreement," Jiang Wang said. "Zhu Jiuyin must maintain the order of this world, while we only need to get the Nine Phoenix Seal. Although this world is difficult to discern between true and false, reality and illusion are indistinguishable. But for the Shan Hai Realm, we are, to a greater extent, just passersby."
He seemed to be persuading Zuo Guangxu, yet also persuading himself.

"Since Zhu Jiuyin can mobilize the Hungry Beasts, it's likely already aware of what happened." Yue Tiannu said, "Do we still need to notify it"
Jiang Wangdao: “Zhu Jiuyin is definitely not omniscient and omnipotent, even in the Shan Hai Realm. Otherwise, Chaos wouldn’t have any chance. And the speed at which Shi Yi came also shows that Zhu Jiuyin doesn't understand Di Nan Yuan very well. So I think it's still necessary to transmit information.”
"Can we contact Zhu Jiuyin through the mountain god's wall" Zuo Guangshuo asked again.
"It should be possible. If it's indeed paying attention to us..."
...Just then...
Boom boom boom boom!
A terrifying sound suddenly exploded behind him.
Even Jiang Wang had a moment of deafness!
Three people looked back while flying, only to see —
The ever-expanding Withering Tower, as if it could truly expand infinitely, rose higher and higher before the "Black Tide Wall"...
The cloud smoke swirled and still rose.
It seems like we've reached the end of the world, and yet we're still climbing higher!
That terrifying sound was the crumbling of the tower's spire at the very edge of sight, striking the heavens!
The River of Time seemed to halt at a certain moment.

And then it continued to flow.
The world that was just bright and cheerful, suddenly became dark and gloomy.
That boundless sky, in this corner, seemed to have collapsed!
Flashes of lightning, crisscrossing the heavens and earth, carried the might of annihilation.
The sea suddenly became violent, with huge waves crashing back and forth, like demons reaching out with their claws.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Oh, oh, oh! In such a terrible noise, the terrifying hurricane formed. It swept everything away, reaching from heaven to earth.
A boundary between heaven and earth was shattered, and the terrifying "Black Tide Wall" collapsed in an instant. The malice belonging to Diannan Abyss surged forth unrestrained, heading straight for the entire Shan Hai realm.
“No need to go…”, Jiang Wang said.
Zuo Guangshu looked at his face.
At that moment, his expression was one of defeat.y hot and humid.I bought a bowl of douhua from "Xiao Zhang Ji," my mother's favorite, and also picked up a steamer of xiaolongbao.The daily diet at the Houfu of Lord Curing City consisted solely of sp...
