角色故事•三(解鎖條件:角色等級60) 「這故事裏的情節和你們仙舟人恰恰相反。」
這個故事來自仙舟之外。故事說,有一個青年人,與神明做交易,祈求自己永生不死。神明實現了他的願望。他不死,但他的肉體會衰老。他會永恆地衰老下去,承受無盡的苦行。這一切都是因為他妄圖獲得不會朽壞的肉身。
故事末了,給我講故事的老人才對我道出如上的感慨。或許,仙舟巨艦在化外民看來就是徜徉星海的極樂寶船——在這裏,人們只會以無窮壽量永享天倫之樂,不知衰敗寂滅之苦。只是在我看來,狀況並非如此。
仙舟人恰恰在經歷着永恆的衰老。的確,我像五十歲那年一樣精力充沛。我能駕駛着星槎穿過不足兩丈寬的峽谷;我能和人連續跳上幾個時辰的舞;我還能歌唱——說起來你可能不信,我唱得比長樂天的許多藝人還要好呢。
可惜,我不會再這麼做了。我不想再這麼做了。它們不再能給我帶來任何樂趣。已經沒什麼能給我帶來太多樂趣的事物了。
這就是我們的衰老。這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(解鎖條件:角色等級80) 「紙鳶是墜亡飛行士的紀念物。 好好保管——代替那些無法回到天空的飛行士們再度起飛吧。」
當我從燃燒着熊熊烈火的星槎殘骸中爬出,看到的是那顆無血無淚的星球未經大氣修飾的天空。
那是我見過的最美的天空,可我只感到難以忍受的悲傷。我只能像只該死的螞蟻匍匐在大地上,眼巴巴地望着它。
在夢裏,我死在了那天。
我想了很多。我想起過去。我見過死去的太陽。我見過活化的星球。我見過帝弓司命的光矢。我見過太多事物。我見過太多星星。我見過太多生命隕落。我見過太多生命誕生。我見過太多。我老了。我想我老了。我會死去。我的翅膀折斷了。我回不去。我想我老了。我回不去。我想我會死去。我的翅膀折斷了。我飛不起來。我像螞蟻。我想我飛不起來。我想我的翅膀折斷了。我想回去。我想回到天空。我想回去。我想回到天空。我想回去。
我從夢裏醒來。
我想回去。我想回去。我想回去。
我必須回去。星空屬於我。我渴望回歸星空。
我將完成生命中的最後一次奮飛。

"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(解鎖條件:角色等級20) 巨大的棺槨像是暴風中飄搖的孤舟,在識海動盪中搖搖欲墜。她任由人們的憤怒、渴望、仇恨、恐懼和疲憊沖刷過自己的身軀,就像無色的浪濤將她從一處湍流拋向另一個浪尖。 如同溺水的死者,她終於放棄了渺小的自我,溶化在這片混沌海洋里—— 在某個瞬間,她曾是地衡司一位終日奔走的執事,在堆積如山的瑣務雜事中努力向上攀爬。最終,頭顱深處一聲琴弦繃斷的銳響後,她如同幽魂般遊走在街頭…… 下一刻,她強忍巨大的哀傷將生有天缺的孩子沉入注滿星槎培養液的莢艙內,儘管此前她和丈夫為這個孩子的降臨期待了許久…… 她曾是一名雲騎,被反足狼爪狠狠踐踏在地。鋒利森冷的爪尖牽扯起臉部的皮肉,撕開一道扭曲的「笑容」。在之後的歲月里,她每次微笑都會疼痛不已…… 她卜到自己命數將盡,她難以置信地檢修窮觀陣的算端,想將自己接入陣法中樞動用其全部力量,而窮觀陣的力量毫不留情地撕裂了她的心智…… 她將自己精心設計的機巧砸得粉碎,與之一同破碎的還有百般刁難她的監造師傅。她明白自己已無望成為工匠,可是不做工匠她又能做什麼呢…… 她成了他們每個人,她成了他們全部。但一段畫面如同一滴墨汁,落進她眼底暈染開來: 她身處藍天下,周遭麥浪起伏,昂揚生長。一雙靈巧的手將一枚花環戴在了她的頭上。她任由枝葉和花香環抱住她,就像那雙溫暖的手環抱了她…… 那份熟悉的溫暖,讓她從足以溺死一切的信息中醒了過來。 她意識到自己並非他們,既非他們中的每一個,也不是他們全部。那一瞬間,她坍縮成了意識海洋中微不足道的一滴水,她想起了自己所喚何名,所司何事—— 她是十王司中的一名判官,代號「寒鴉」的判官。 覺察到她醒來,棺材一側侍立的金人執筆疾書,動作快到肉眼難辨。 業判的結果已有分曉,夢中出現的名字被書寫在一塊玉兆令牌中送出。在洞天日落夜深的時刻,又將有許多人告別塵世。他們不會知曉,在仙舟最深處的角落裏有人決定了他們的命終之刻。而數個時辰後那人將不再記得他們。

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(解鎖條件:角色等級40) 棺材的另一側,一名白衣判官盯着她,目不稍瞬。那張熟悉的臉因為不再有笑容而顯得分外陌生。判官伸手,遞來的掌中托着一盞金爵。 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隻碧眼,怔怔瞧着她。 「又到了飲酒的時間了?我差點忘了。」她從棺中起身。「怎麼不是夜魄來為我送酒,而是你親自前來,姐姐?」 「夜魄…看來汝不記得了,是不是?」姐姐半閉眼簾,這是她表達自己擔心時的表情——可惜塑成她身軀的機巧仍不夠精緻,讓這幅表情顯得猶如瞌睡。「她追擊藥王秘傳的妖人,不幸傷勢沉重,十王已恩准她入滅了。」 她急忙轉開話題,「你今天對付的目標棘手麼?」 「棘手。一照面就被廢了一隻手,髕骨也被劈碎了。那廝很熟悉機巧的構造,證實了他就是當年朱明仙舟上的那位能工巧匠。他的招式吾已錄下了,反覆觀摩,總能破解的。」 她看着姐姐談論起自己險死還生的過程,仿佛在說一件無關器物的損壞。「又要麻煩藿藿修理你了。」 「藿藿…已升任判官了,約莫是一旬前的事。如今負責整備機巧的是守靈。」 姐姐將金爵擺在棺材邊沿她伸手夠不到的地方,動作流暢精準,爵中酒液毫無波瀾。 「忘川之酒,一飲成空。小妹,不必做到這一步的。吾的罪過,應當由吾親手補贖。」像夢中一樣,姐姐將手放在她的腦袋上,輕輕摩挲,但她感受不到一絲暖意。 「只是飲下忘川酒的小小副作用罷了。如果我當真記不得你了,那時候你我都可以安然入滅。蒙十王盛恩,這樁約定已被記錄在了因果殿深處。」 「那是我們放下一切,永遠入睡的時候。」她向前坐了一點,握住沒有溫度的手貼在自己臉頰一側。 她從棺沿上取過酒爵,艱難地將濃稠的液體一點點喝下。雖名為酒,從中卻嘗不出半點辛辣刺激的味道,倒像是注入金人軀體的油液。 「在此之前,就讓我為你、為十王、還有那位將軍再多做一些吧。」

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(解鎖條件:角色等級60) 飲下的酒液匯成一丸沉甸甸的水銀,一路行經四肢百骸。那些不願回顧的秘密,所有屬於千百年前身為人類的一切被被喚起,隨後又漸漸淡去顏色—— 她看見那顆被稱為「羅睺」的赤紅星辰高懸在蒼城仙舟的雲巔上,如心臟般搏動不休。隨後它緩緩裂開岩石、肌腱、枝蔓構成的外殼,吞吐無數子嗣,既像是永不饜足的獵食之獸反覆進食,又像是即將分娩的母親。 夢魘般的月色下,她看見曜青的狐人們徒勞地駕馭星槎,如同擾人的蚊蚋叮啄不可撼動的巨神,隨後在步離人的獸艦驅逐下化為空中一閃即滅的星火。 一棵行走的巨樹向身處戰場中的她緩緩靠近。那樹舒展百臂,刺穿所有擋路的人,那些和她並肩戰鬥的朋友。她恐懼地握緊斷劍,但樹上突然綻開一張笑臉——那是姐姐的臉。 「小妹,是我啊!你不認得我啦?」 枝葉婆娑作響,戰友們的臉似樹梢結出的果實般一個個長成,發出尖利的笑聲。「不要屈服於死亡,不要習慣於死亡,加入我,擁抱我——」 她的劍上開出花來,數個心跳間碎成一地鏽末。靈巧的枝條將一枚花環戴在了她的頭上。她任由枝葉和花香環抱住她,就像那雙溫暖的手曾經做過的那樣…… 一柄燃燒的巨劍穿透了她的幻覺,燒盡了空氣中甜膩的腐臭味,幾乎令她無法呼吸。身着重甲的魁偉男子如同流星般墜入戰場,怒嘯着沖向巨樹,其勇武正如他的名字。然而即便是他也掙不開巨樹令人窒息的糾纏…… 是了,又是這段夢,無論飲下多少次忘川酒,她也無法從這段夢境裏逃離。 她努力吞咽,拼命吞咽,夢境終於成了不可捉摸的煙雲,消散不見。終於能睡個好覺了,這是她告別清醒時僅剩的念頭。

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.
