第446章 恍若隔世

Darkness, endless darkness.
Obscurity, boundless obscurity.
Beyond nothingness, there is confusion, despair, anxiety, meaninglessness, desolation, loss...
All terrifying things emerge from the darkness, yet, there is no light, no path to move forward, no target direction.
“我在哪里？”
凤七想长吼，可是声音抑郁在喉间，无法吼出。他什么也看不到，甚至连自己也感触不到。他发现自己没有了一切，包括实质的躯体。
或者，他能看到什么。他能看到什么呢？一个影子，不，是一群影子。
春花般的笑容，阳光般的温暖……一群可爱的人正向他走来，白色的身影映出如花美人。
"Yinger, Qinghou, and my brothers, my loved ones, where are all of you...?"
Fengqi was filled with joy and gently stretched out his arms towards where they were, longing for them so much. And now, they were right in front of him, such a wonderful thing. He could finally be with them for a long time.
Suddenly, the shadow changed. Familiar faces disappeared, replaced by scenes of carnage and bloodshed. The air was filled with splashes of liquid and the piercing flames of violence. The remnants of the sunset formed a colossal wound in the sky, with each droplet resembling a drop of blood, silently tallying the guilt and hopes hidden deep within people's hearts. It exposed the inherent flaws that individuals inherently possess.
People are beings who are half god and half beast, and there is a deity living in every person's heart. However, sadly, many people have murdered the deity within themselves, quietly commencing their own self-destruction, which drives them to madness, evil, and transforms them into wild beasts, no longer resembling humans.
一切，都不再是神圣的了，一切，都是无意义的了，关于正义与创造终将被颠覆，只有毁灭和邪恶才能永恒。因为最初的一缕光源是从黑暗中发出的，一切来源于黑暗，一切也将向黑暗回归。
And so, there came the Demonic God of a Thousand Machines, that terrifying figure in black, resembling the grim reaper himself, the one who could annihilate everything. He finally arrived, like a mountain, like a dark cloud, casting darkness over the sunlight. He sneered and plunged into the crowd of people familiar to Feng Qi, causing screams of loved ones, cries of lovers, the deep sorrow of brothers, and the boundless fury of countless helpless individuals!

Dark red blood, black blood, flowing in small rivers of sorrow and fear. They all died, right in front of my eyes, and yet I was powerless. Translated:
"No..."
凤七悲痛地大叫……
“谢谢天，他醒了，他终于醒了。”
有人在耳边喜悦地说道。
凤七费尽了全力睁开了眼睛，眼皮似有千斤沉重。他茫然向四周看去，四处全是虚虚的影子，他看不真切。就连那在耳畔的声音也仿佛从千里之外传来，几乎遥不可闻。
稍稍一动，牵动了体内的伤势，他不禁痛哼出声。
“你先别动，否则会牵动内伤。”
一个女人的声音关切地说道。
随后，一只大手轻轻扶住了他的头颅，一碗温热的药汤灌入了他的口中。
Shortly after, he fell into a deep sleep again. In his dream, it was still a chaotic and confusing human world, filled with ugly thoughts, horrifying killings, and a sight of bloodshed that made it hard for him to breathe, causing his mind to be unsettled.
再醒来时，满天阳光，他的神智恢复过来了，恍若隔世。
神思飘渺，虽然混身骨骼尽碎，依旧不能动，可是他的神思并没有受到牵制，精神力量仿佛更加强大，神思一动之间，“他”已经步出了屋外，升上高空，看到了眼前的一切。
This is a vast canyon, with rows of stone houses embedded in the canyon, and many kind-hearted people dwell here. In the fields next to the canyon, countless farmers are diligently cultivating and working.
再往远处，正面是一片苍茫的大陆，环绕着这片大陆的，是一片蓝色的水域，这片水域广袤无边，像是蓝色的布帏随风而动，美丽妖娆。阵阵微咸的风儿吹过，让人心旷神怡，清清爽爽。
His thoughts returned to the front of his house once again, where a girl was walking towards him holding a bowl of herbal medicine, accompanied by two other strong-looking men. Their expressions were full of joy and tranquility, for those who are content will always find happiness. Please let me know if there's anything else I can help you with!
"Oh, he's finally fully awake."
端着碗草药走进屋内的那个女孩子喜极而呼，剩下的两个人都笑了。
凤七心中感受到了一阵阵的温暖，是的，他又重新回到了这人世，回到了这个属于自己的世界里。
Feng Qiqing's eyes were fixed on them, shining brightly with a smile on her face. Although her body couldn't move, she was able to speak.
“谢谢几位好心的照料，在下不胜感谢。”
Feng Qi smiled and said, "
“你这话太客气了，救人一命，胜造七级浮屠，奶奶在世的时候，总是这样教我的。安心的养伤吧，养好了伤，你就可以重新恢复过来了。”
后面的那个善良的大叔说道。
这久违的人世温暖，让凤七一阵阵感动。
With a thoughtful response, memories became vivid, and everything that had happened was etched in his heart. He sighed bitterly deep down, realizing that he still couldn't defeat the Thousand Machine Demons. Now that he had returned to this world, it was certain that the Thousand Machine Demons would also come back.
看着眼前的这些幸福善良的人们，想起这个世界即将遭受的苦难，凤七心中一阵阵惨痛，暗恨自己的没用。
“轰隆隆”，随着阵阵巨响传来，大地开始震颤，石屋也不禁摇摆起来，屋梁上的尘土籁籁而下，落在人们的头上，飞舞这个狭小的空间之中，在阳光的照耀下张扬，让人难以呼吸。
With a single thought, Feng Qixin's mind suddenly flew away, and she saw a stunning scene from afar. A massive volcano erupted thousands of miles away, and torrents of lava spewed out of the volcano's crater, flowing freely. The sky was filled with smoke and ash, blocking the sunlight and shrouding the area around the volcano in darkness.
"Here, there's also a volcano?" Fengqi seemed to see a ray of light in the darkness and asked joyfully.
"Yes, thousands of miles away, there's a volcano that erupts periodically."
The girl smiled and said.
Feng Qi smiled, because of this, he finally thought of something.
"Thank you all these days, Feng Qi is deeply grateful, I won't forget your great kindness. If possible, I will come back to thank you, take care."
奇异的力量运转之下，凤七身上的伤势奇迹般地复原了。
他从床上缓缓浮起，就那样在空中向外面“走”去，只几步，便来到了屋外，双臂展开，如鸟儿般迎空而去，转眼间在空中变成了一个黑点，消失不见了。
自从天虚幻境中的一次次蜕变，随着力量的不断增强，他已经成为自己躯体的主人，不再会因为躯体的伤痛病难而影响到什么，只要肉身不灭，他便会随时复原，此刻，他满心欢喜地在空中一瞬千里，向着那座火山掠去。
因为火山的触动，引发了他的灵感，火代表光明，它是真正的世界的本原的力量的象征，一切力量都因火而来，一切力量都会因火而消散。
虽然原始的火是暴烈的，是无法掌控的，是无目的无方向的，但只要保持火中的一点清明，保持灵台的清净与无为，就必然会让那火的力量为自己所用。
火象征着光明，它是黑暗的克星，只有火带来的光明才会消融那可怕的黑暗力量，那火，会给他答案的，也会给千机神魔一个最后的“惊喜”。
那女孩子失手打翻了药碗，无数平凡人都怔怔望着空中的凤七远去的身影，目驰神摇，这样类似仙人的神迹是他们无法理解，也无法想像的，远远超出了他们的认知。
"Oh my God, he is a deity, a god from heaven! We have actually saved a god..."
A group of kind-hearted ordinary people gently knelt down, solemnly praying to the sky and blessing him.
Getting closer to that volcano, the unpleasant smell in the air spread everywhere, choking people. The billowing smoke and dust created numerous barriers, making it difficult to see through the haze and uncover the mysteries within.
四处漫溢的火流漫无目的，漫无方向，尽情的流淌，带着毁灭一切的疯狂，发疯一般宣泄着自己心中的愤绪，奔突的地火带给了它们巨大的能量，它们无往不胜，它们所向披靡。
可这对于凤七来说，不过是一道丰美的大餐，他感悟到了绝大的力量在向他召唤，指引着他去攫取，去努力。
"I'm here..."
凤七紧闭双目，由空中收束双臂，如一枝从上天射来的飞箭，向着火山口疾标而至，“扑嗵”，随着四溅的岩浆，他已经投身到了灸热可熔化一切的岩浆之中。
整个火山仿佛都怔了怔，或许它有些不敢相信这是真的，一个弱小的人类竟然直直冲入了它的身体之内。
随后，它有些愤怒了，甚至有些疯狂了，巨大的能量带着岩浆一瞬间直扑天宇，高扑出千百丈才恶狠狠地向地面砸下，仿佛要展现心中的愤怒一般。
地面上的震动越来越激烈了，甚至让千里万里之外的人们都无法安然站立，只能匍伏地面，祈祷上天让这一切苦难尽快过去。
Feng Qi's clothes turned to ashes, leaving only his body unharmed, as he plunged straight into the depths of the earth along the magma.
The rushing geothermal heat seemed to burn and consume every single cell of his being. He gritted his teeth in sheer determination, continuing his descent while desperately absorbing the elemental power from the heavens and the earth within the flames. At the same time, he maintained a hint of clarity in his mind, like a spotlessly pure ice in a perpetual furnace of ancient times.
“天命即性，诚者天道，思诚人道，守虚极，至静笃，不动心，存夜气，诚者自成，存诚尽性，待人性尽，物性终，万物皆备于我，至诚通道，天人合一……”
At this moment, a faint light appeared in her chest, then expanded into golden words filling the sky, soaring in the air, and within Feng Qi's mind.
It was the miraculous book given to Feng Qi by Daozongdong Immortal, the former sect master of Yunxiang Sect. He always carried it with him.
As the flames raged, this ancient and extraordinary book surprisingly did not turn into ashes, but instead transformed into dazzling golden words, one line after another, penetrating into Feng Qi's mind.
What heaven desires, the path of the divine.
This is the true meaning of the Heavenly Desires Sutra.
