角色故事•三(解锁条件:角色等级60) 「这故事里的情节和你们仙舟人恰恰相反。」
这个故事来自仙舟之外。故事说,有一个青年人,与神明做交易,祈求自己永生不死。神明实现了他的愿望。他不死,但他的肉体会衰老。他会永恒地衰老下去,承受无尽的苦行。这一切都是因为他妄图获得不会朽坏的肉身。
故事末了,给我讲故事的老人才对我道出如上的感慨。或许,仙舟巨舰在化外民看来就是徜徉星海的极乐宝船——在这里,人们只会以无穷寿量永享天伦之乐,不知衰败寂灭之苦。只是在我看来,状况并非如此。
仙舟人恰恰在经历着永恒的衰老。的确,我像五十岁那年一样精力充沛。我能驾驶着星槎穿过不足两丈宽的峡谷;我能和人连续跳上几个时辰的舞;我还能歌唱——说起来你可能不信,我唱得比长乐天的许多艺人还要好呢。
可惜,我不会再这么做了。我不想再这么做了。它们不再能给我带来任何乐趣。已经没什么能给我带来太多乐趣的事物了。
这就是我们的衰老。这就是所有仙舟住民的衰老。

"The plot in this story is just the opposite of Xianzhou natives like yourself."
This story came from beyond Xianzhou. The story tells of a young man who made a deal with a deity. He wished to be immortal, to be deathless. The deity granted his wish. He would never die, but his body would continuously weaken and wither eternally. He would carry the burden and sufferance of old age of perpetuity. This was all because he dared to dream about an unchanging flesh.
At the end of the story, the old man who told me the story expressed the sentiments above. Perhaps, to Outworlders, the Xianzhou ships are dreamboats of bliss that traverse the ocean of stars, where people will spend their everlasting lifespan in enjoyment of sublime happiness, never knowing the pains of separation, aging, and death. In my opinion, that was not the case.
Xianzhou natives are precisely experiencing an eternal deterioration. Sure, I am as energetic as I was when I was fifty years old. I can drive a starskiff through a valley no wider than two yards, I can dance continuously for hours, and I can sing... You may find this difficult to believe, but I can sing better than many of the performing artists in the Exalting Sanctum.
Unfortunately, I will not do any of those things again. I do not want to do any of them, as they bring me no enjoyment. Not many things do. Not anymore.
This is our deterioration. This is the deterioration of all Xianzhou natives.

角色故事•四(解锁条件:角色等级80) 「纸鸢是坠亡飞行士的纪念物。 好好保管——代替那些无法回到天空的飞行士们再度起飞吧。」
当我从燃烧着熊熊烈火的星槎残骸中爬出,看到的是那颗无血无泪的星球未经大气修饰的天空。
那是我见过的最美的天空,可我只感到难以忍受的悲伤。我只能像只该死的蚂蚁匍匐在大地上,眼巴巴地望着它。
在梦里,我死在了那天。
我想了很多。我想起过去。我见过死去的太阳。我见过活化的星球。我见过帝弓司命的光矢。我见过太多事物。我见过太多星星。我见过太多生命陨落。我见过太多生命诞生。我见过太多。我老了。我想我老了。我会死去。我的翅膀折断了。我回不去。我想我老了。我回不去。我想我会死去。我的翅膀折断了。我飞不起来。我像蚂蚁。我想我飞不起来。我想我的翅膀折断了。我想回去。我想回到天空。我想回去。我想回到天空。我想回去。
我从梦里醒来。
我想回去。我想回去。我想回去。
我必须回去。星空属于我。我渴望回归星空。
我将完成生命中的最后一次奋飞。

"Kites are mementos of fallen pilots. Take good care of them. Let them take off once more in place of those pilots who cannot return to the sky."
When I crawled out of the burning wreckage of the starskiff, I saw the sky of that bloodless and emotionless planet, untainted by an atmosphere.
It was the most beautiful sky I had ever seen, but all I could feel was unbearable sadness. I could only creep on the earth like a blasted ant, staring at it with bated breath.
In my dream, that was the day I died.
I think about it a lot. I think about the past. I have seen dead suns. I have seen sentient planets. I have seen the Reignbow Arbiter's Lux Arrow. I have seen too much. I have seen too many stars. I have seen the demise of too many lives. I have seen the births of too many beings. I have seen too much. I'm getting old. I think I'm getting old. I will die. My wings are broken. I can't go back. I think I'm old. I can't go back. I think I'll die. My wings are broken. I can't fly. I'm like an ant. I don't think I can fly. I think my wings are broken. I want to go back. I want to go back to the sky. I want to go back. I want to go back to the sky. I want to go back.
I awoke from the dream.
I want to go back. I want to go back. I want to go back.
I need to go back. The sky belongs to me. I crave to return to the skies.
I will complete the final flight of my life.

角色故事•一(解锁条件:角色等级20) 巨大的棺椁像是暴风中飘摇的孤舟,在识海动荡中摇摇欲坠。她任由人们的愤怒、渴望、仇恨、恐惧和疲惫冲刷过自己的身躯,就像无色的浪涛将她从一处湍流抛向另一个浪尖。 如同溺水的死者,她终于放弃了渺小的自我,溶化在这片混沌海洋里—— 在某个瞬间,她曾是地衡司一位终日奔走的执事,在堆积如山的琐务杂事中努力向上攀爬。最终,头颅深处一声琴弦绷断的锐响后,她如同幽魂般游走在街头…… 下一刻,她强忍巨大的哀伤将生有天缺的孩子沉入注满星槎培养液的荚舱内,尽管此前她和丈夫为这个孩子的降临期待了许久…… 她曾是一名云骑,被反足狼爪狠狠践踏在地。锋利森冷的爪尖牵扯起脸部的皮肉,撕开一道扭曲的「笑容」。在之后的岁月里,她每次微笑都会疼痛不已…… 她卜到自己命数将尽,她难以置信地检修穷观阵的算端,想将自己接入阵法中枢动用其全部力量,而穷观阵的力量毫不留情地撕裂了她的心智…… 她将自己精心设计的机巧砸得粉碎,与之一同破碎的还有百般刁难她的监造师傅。她明白自己已无望成为工匠,可是不做工匠她又能做什么呢…… 她成了他们每个人,她成了他们全部。但一段画面如同一滴墨汁,落进她眼底晕染开来: 她身处蓝天下,周遭麦浪起伏,昂扬生长。一双灵巧的手将一枚花环戴在了她的头上。她任由枝叶和花香环抱住她,就像那双温暖的手环抱了她…… 那份熟悉的温暖,让她从足以溺死一切的信息中醒了过来。 她意识到自己并非他们,既非他们中的每一个,也不是他们全部。那一瞬间,她坍缩成了意识海洋中微不足道的一滴水,她想起了自己所唤何名,所司何事—— 她是十王司中的一名判官,代号「寒鸦」的判官。 觉察到她醒来,棺材一侧侍立的金人执笔疾书,动作快到肉眼难辨。 业判的结果已有分晓,梦中出现的名字被书写在一块玉兆令牌中送出。在洞天日落夜深的时刻,又将有许多人告别尘世。他们不会知晓,在仙舟最深处的角落里有人决定了他们的命终之刻。而数个时辰后那人将不再记得他们。

The colossal coffin, resembling a desolate vessel adrift in a tempest, sways amidst the tumultuous currents of the ocean of consciousness. Waves of anger, longing, hatred, fear, and exhaustion crash upon her like colorless surges, propelling her from one turbulent realm to another.
Like a drowned soul, she finally lets go of her individuality and dissolves into the boundless ocean of chaos...
There was a time when she held the role of an officer in the Realm-Keeping Commission, constantly dealing with mountains of mundane duties, yearning for a promotion. Eventually, after a sharp snap that echoed deep within her mind, she started wandering the streets like a mindless corpse...
In the next moment, burdened with immeasurable grief, she submerged her baby with birth defects in a vessel brimming with starskiff culture medium, despite her and her husband's eager anticipation for their newborn baby...
Once a Cloud Knight, she was ruthlessly struck down by a wolf's twisted paw, her face maimed by its sharp claws, carving a twisted "smile." Whenever she smiled, the wound induced excruciating pain in the years that followed...
Her divination revealed that her life teetered on the verge of oblivion. In despair, she overhauled the Matrix of Prescience's calculation terminal, attempting to access its core to utilize its full power. However, the Matrix's power ravaged her mind mercilessly...
She smashed her meticulously crafted contraption, as well as the foreman who had intentionally made things difficult for her. At that moment, she realized she would never achieve her dream of becoming a craftsman, but what else could she do...?
She became every one of them, all of them. Yet, at that moment, like an ink droplet descending upon her vision, an image swirled and dissipated.
Beneath azure skies, undulating waves of wheat surged and seethed around her. A nimble pair of hands gently crowned her head with a wreath. She allowed the foliage, leaves, and fragrant blooms to encircle her, just as the tender hands had embraced her...
That familiar warmth jolts her from the deluge poised to consume everything.
She realizes that she is not any of them, nor the sum of their forms. In that fleeting instant, she dwindles into a minuscule droplet within the ocean of consciousness. She recalls her name and her duty...
She is a judge of the Ten-Lords Commission, bearing the code name, "Hanya."
Observing her awakening, the aurumaton stationed beside the coffin commenced a rapid flurry of writing, its movements too swift for the naked eye to discern.
The verdict of her judgment has been revealed, and the names that materialized within her dreams are transcribed onto a jade abacus token. As twilight melds into night within the delve, countless souls will bid their final farewell to the mortal realm, unaware that the precise moment of their demise had been recorded by someone within the innermost recesses of the Xianzhou ship. And within a few hours, the woman will no longer retain any recollection of them.

角色故事•二(解锁条件:角色等级40) 棺材的另一侧,一名白衣判官盯着她,目不稍瞬。那张熟悉的脸因为不再有笑容而显得分外陌生。判官伸手,递来的掌中托着一盏金爵。 爵中盛着一汪碧如翡翠的酒液,在因果殿幽暗的殿宇中如同一只碧眼,怔怔瞧着她。 「又到了饮酒的时间了?我差点忘了。」她从棺中起身。「怎么不是夜魄来为我送酒,而是你亲自前来,姐姐?」 「夜魄…看来汝不记得了,是不是?」姐姐半闭眼帘,这是她表达自己担心时的表情——可惜塑成她身躯的机巧仍不够精致,让这幅表情显得犹如瞌睡。「她追击药王秘传的妖人,不幸伤势沉重,十王已恩准她入灭了。」 她急忙转开话题,「你今天对付的目标棘手么?」 「棘手。一照面就被废了一只手,髌骨也被劈碎了。那厮很熟悉机巧的构造,证实了他就是当年朱明仙舟上的那位能工巧匠。他的招式吾已录下了,反复观摩,总能破解的。」 她看着姐姐谈论起自己险死还生的过程,仿佛在说一件无关器物的损坏。「又要麻烦藿藿修理你了。」 「藿藿…已升任判官了,约莫是一旬前的事。如今负责整备机巧的是守灵。」 姐姐将金爵摆在棺材边沿她伸手够不到的地方,动作流畅精准,爵中酒液毫无波澜。 「忘川之酒,一饮成空。小妹,不必做到这一步的。吾的罪过,应当由吾亲手补赎。」像梦中一样,姐姐将手放在她的脑袋上,轻轻摩挲,但她感受不到一丝暖意。 「只是饮下忘川酒的小小副作用罢了。如果我当真记不得你了,那时候你我都可以安然入灭。蒙十王盛恩,这桩约定已被记录在了因果殿深处。」 「那是我们放下一切,永远入睡的时候。」她向前坐了一点,握住没有温度的手贴在自己脸颊一侧。 她从棺沿上取过酒爵,艰难地将浓稠的液体一点点喝下。虽名为酒,从中却尝不出半点辛辣刺激的味道,倒像是注入金人躯体的油液。 「在此之前,就让我为你、为十王、还有那位将军再多做一些吧。」

On the opposite side of the coffin, a white-robed judge stared at her with an unwavering gaze. In the absence of smiles, that once familiar face now looked particularly alien. The judge extended their hand, and a golden jug sat in their palm.
Enclosed within the jug is a liquor as green as jade, an emerald eye that glares unblinkingly at her within the dark vaults of the Hall of Karma.
"Is it time to drink again? I almost forgot." She rose from the coffin. "Why are you bringing me the wine instead of Yepo, sister?"
"Yepo... You don't remember, do you?" Her sister's eyelids close halfway. That is how her sister expresses concern — However, the ingenium forming her sister's body lacks the finesse to convey this expression, rendering it instead akin to a gesture of drowsiness."Yepo pursued the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus and suffered fatal injuries. The Ten Lords have granted her permission for demise."
She hurriedly changed the subject."How was the target you pursued today? Were they difficult to deal with?"
"Very difficult. He broke one of my hands and shattered my patella as soon as we met. The scoundrel seems to have knowledge over the composition of ingenia, indicating that he is indeed the skilled craftsman from the Zhuming all those years ago. I have recorded his moves. Through studies and contemplation, I will one day find a way to counter him."
She watched her sister recount that narrow escape from death with apparent indifference, as if discussing the breaking of an inanimate object. "We will have to bother Huohuo again to repair you."
"Well, Huohuo... She was promoted to judge about a dozen days ago. Currently, Shouling is in charge of maintaining the ingenia." With a smooth and precise motion, her sister placed the golden jug on the edge of the coffin beyond her reach. The wine within the jug sat still, without a ripple.
"Drink this Wine of Oblivion, and you'll forget everything. You don't have to go this far, my dear sister. I should atone for my faults through my own efforts alone." Just like how it is in her dream, her sister's hands were placed on her head in a gentle caress, but she cannot feel even the faintest trace of warmth.
"It's only a minor side effect of drinking the Wine of Oblivion. If I end up forgetting everything about you, then both of us can finally embrace our demise without any burdens. By the benevolence of the Ten Lords, this promise has been recorded in the depths of the Hall of Karma."
"And at that moment, we shall relinquish all and enter eternal slumber." She leans forward slightly, pressing her sister's cold hand against her cheek.
She takes the wine jug from the edge of the coffin and, with effort, consumes the viscous liquid sip by sip. Though called "wine", it lacks all pungent and invigorating flavor. Instead, it tastes like oil drained into the body of an aurumaton.
"But before that fateful moment, please allow me to carry out a few more tasks for you, for the Ten Lords, and for that general."

角色故事•三(解锁条件:角色等级60) 饮下的酒液汇成一丸沉甸甸的水银,一路行经四肢百骸。那些不愿回顾的秘密,所有属于千百年前身为人类的一切被被唤起,随后又渐渐淡去颜色—— 她看见那颗被称为「罗睺」的赤红星辰高悬在苍城仙舟的云巅上,如心脏般搏动不休。随后它缓缓裂开岩石、肌腱、枝蔓构成的外壳,吞吐无数子嗣,既像是永不餍足的猎食之兽反复进食,又像是即将分娩的母亲。 梦魇般的月色下,她看见曜青的狐人们徒劳地驾驭星槎,如同扰人的蚊蚋叮啄不可撼动的巨神,随后在步离人的兽舰驱逐下化为空中一闪即灭的星火。 一棵行走的巨树向身处战场中的她缓缓靠近。那树舒展百臂,刺穿所有挡路的人,那些和她并肩战斗的朋友。她恐惧地握紧断剑,但树上突然绽开一张笑脸——那是姐姐的脸。 「小妹,是我啊!你不认得我啦?」 枝叶婆娑作响,战友们的脸似树梢结出的果实般一个个长成,发出尖利的笑声。「不要屈服于死亡,不要习惯于死亡,加入我,拥抱我——」 她的剑上开出花来,数个心跳间碎成一地锈末。灵巧的枝条将一枚花环戴在了她的头上。她任由枝叶和花香环抱住她,就像那双温暖的手曾经做过的那样…… 一柄燃烧的巨剑穿透了她的幻觉,烧尽了空气中甜腻的腐臭味,几乎令她无法呼吸。身着重甲的魁伟男子如同流星般坠入战场,怒啸着冲向巨树,其勇武正如他的名字。然而即便是他也挣不开巨树令人窒息的纠缠…… 是了,又是这段梦,无论饮下多少次忘川酒,她也无法从这段梦境里逃离。 她努力吞咽,拼命吞咽,梦境终于成了不可捉摸的烟云,消散不见。终于能睡个好觉了,这是她告别清醒时仅剩的念头。

The wine she imbibes transforms into a dense pill of mercury, coursing through her limbs and bones. Memories she refuses to recall, fragments of her human existence from millennia past, resurface momentarily before gradually fading away...
She saw the crimson star known as "Rahu" suspended high amidst the clouds atop the Xianzhou Cangcheng, pulsating like a beating heart. Slowly, it cracked open, revealing a core composed of rocks, tendons, and branches. It voraciously consumed and gave birth to countless offspring, resembling a ravenous predator feasting or a mother on the verge of delivering.
Beneath the nightmarish moonlight, she witnessed the foxians of the Xianzhou Yaoqing futilely maneuvering their starskiffs, resembling powerless flies attempting to take down an invincible behemoth, only to be crushed and reduced to flickering sparks in the air by borisin beast ships.
A colossal, walking tree approached her amidst the chaos of the battlefield. Extending its myriad branches, it impaled all who stood in its path, including her comrades. As she gripped her fractured sword for a desperate struggle, she suddenly saw a smiling face blossoming upon the tree — a reflection of her sister's face.
"It's me, my dear sister. Don't you recognize me?"
The branches and leaves rustled, and the faces of her companions sprouted like fruits from the treetops, emanating raucous laughter. "Do not succumb to death. Do not grow accustomed to it. Embrace me... become a part of me..."
Flowers burst forth upon her sword, which then disintegrated into rust within a few heartbeats. Nimble branches gently crowned her head with a wreath. She allowed the foliage, leaves, and fragrant blooms to encircle her, just as the tender hands had embraced her...
A colossal, blazing sword pierced through her visions, scorching away the sweet yet putrid atmosphere, almost suffocating her. A towering figure in formidable armor crashed onto the battlefield like a meteor, bellowing at the towering tree with the valor that defined his name. However, not even that valorous warrior could sever the suffocating entanglement wrought by the colossal tree...
Yes, it's that dream again, that recurring dream. No matter how many drafts of the Wine of Oblivion she consumes, she simply cannot escape the nightmare.
She gulps down the wine with visible effort, desperately, until the dream finally transforms into an enigmatic wisp of smoke. All that remains is the solitary thought of a restful slumber, bidding farewell to wakefulness.

On one side of the coffin, a white-robed judge fixes her gaze upon the sealed coffin. Observing her sister's slumber had been routine during her human days.
She can no longer feel pain or any regrets. The consciousness residing within her skull informs her that observing her sister's sleep is an arduous duty, similar to what she once did to herself.
Making karmic judgments and delivering sentences are profound tasks, and such responsibilities must be exclusively entrusted to judges who have detached from the mortal world yet remain attuned to the emotions of people, unlike aurumatons. While she can discern subtle shifts in the tones of human words and detect the tightening of muscles upon sorrowful countenances, none of these can stir even the faintest ripple within her heart of forged steel, and no magic can bring back her emotions as a human. That is why her sister is needed for the Ten-Lords Commission.
An Aurumaton Spectral Envoy approaches her. "A new task?" The white-robed judge turns to the envoy.
"If you wish to remain and attend to Madam Hanya, I can ask other judges to undertake the task instead."
"That won't be necessary. I don't wish to disappoint her. Furthermore, I've reached an agreement with the Ten Lords. For every malefactor I apprehend, I shall be granted the freedom to return to the mortal realm for half a day. She's been inside the coffin for too long, and I'd like to bestow such a chance for her to bask in the sun."
"Then, please prepare your sacred vessels and commence the exorcism, Madam." The aurumaton bows in deference.
The white-robed judge remains emotionless as she peers into the darkness. Within her heart that no longer beats, there resides a simple aspiration, that her sister will dream a tender and blissful dream...
That she will dream of nimble hands gently crowning her head with a wreath.

During her childhood, she received early exposure to science from her mother, who was a "scientist."
Her life in a tiny house with her family of science enthusiasts was filled with love. As such, it wasn't long before she realized there were subtle differences in "love," each kind coming with different scents.
Her grandmother with silver hair was a fan of traditional theater with its humming and chirping, while her father wore a pair of large, furry boots. Her parents loved each other, but they still argued from time to time. She was an impassive girl who made mistakes all the time, but was also forgiven all the time.
"I was closer with Aunt Arlice compared to my other relatives, as she would buy me snacks. Her love was the best."
Soon, the young girl learned to be stubborn. Her understanding of "love" broke away from the formulae taught in textbooks. As she grew older, her mother became strict with her. Together, they walked one step at a time on a vast glacial planet. The girl gasped and stopped on the way, carefully observing the fantastical and enchanting "lifeforms" buried beneath the glaciers - What used to be lifeforms, at least.
Every time she arrived home after going on scientific expeditions, it was time for "rewards" — When she took a small bite of the cake, the mouthwatering aroma would immediately cling to the roof of her mouth. Her insignificant anticipation always gave her mother's research an inviting smell.
Starting from their home, a planet blessed by Abundance, they boarded research aircraft and set off to more worlds. Surrounded by flash bombs, silk headscarves, ribbons, and embroidery, the girl embraced joy amongst "lifeforms" created by spiraling and ascending data.
"A-Ruan, after eating Qingtuan, you must wash your fingers thoroughly before you can touch the lab bench."

She was dressed all in black in a mourning attire at her parents' funeral. As usual, she still tied her hair neatly. Her expression was hidden behind her ink-black strands of hair.
She did not shed a single tear.
As the night fell, layers of geometric patterns formed by data spirals appeared on the screen in the lab. They shifted, expanded, and flowed along with the sound of traditional theater songs. After peeling away the layers of the patterns, the secret she meticulously crafted and protected with care was revealed — her parents with their eyes closed. Their faces were as impassive as if they were asleep.
"This is a let-down. They failed to keep their promise with Grandma."
"And I, too, let them down for failing to protect them as promised."
"Only science... never lets anyone down," she said.
Wanting her parents to be equal, she stopped using her previous nickname and gave herself a new name by combining each of her parents' surnames.
Since then, whenever someone asked her about her "home," there would be a flash of confusion in her eyes. She seems to have forgotten everything. In such a state, she started working around the clock on her calculations. She was so engrossed in her research that she never ate regularly. When she was on a roll, she could spend entire days and nights working on research without sleeping, and only dozed off when she hit her limit.
Soon, she was only relying on the faint glow of fireflies to gather her research results every night. The more dismissive she was of the existing laws of life, the quicker she progressed. She totally disregarded formulas, then moved on to ignoring the meaning of life. She simply observed, assessed with her hands, held the data in her palm to feel it, then proceeded to concoct new laws for species.
As a result, the ferns and flowers in her lab flourished ever more. They grew at a speed visible to the human sight, and ultimately filled every space in the lab. In the space between the flowers and leaves laid the serene and emotionless countenance of her parents, formed by the aggregation of "data."
The moment her sleeping "parents" were about to open their eyes — By then, she had nearly destroyed the existing laws of biological evolution on the entire planet, yet she still marched on toward her goal. It wasn't until she looked up from her research and stared at the sky did she notice the gaze of the Erudition had descended upon her.
