Chapter 2064: with translation of chapter title

A ceasefire?

Translation: "Ceasefire period?" Keep question mark.

Xiao Feng was a little curious when he heard that word.

Translation: "Xiao Feng heard the term and felt a bit curious."

However, he didn't rush to ask.

Translation: "But he didn't rush to ask."

The group walked toward the first tavern in the market, encountering many controllers along the way.

Translation: "The group walked toward the first tavern in the market district, encountering many controllers along the way."

At a glance, Xiao Feng memorized the names of these controllers; some had human faces identical to those of Blue Star humans, while others bore other traits, such as a single upright eye, four arms, bodies covered in white fur, or a cat tail protruding from their rear, and so on.

We need to keep meaning. Translation: "Xiao Feng glanced at them and memorized their titles; some had human faces identical to those of Blue Star humans, while others bore other traits—for example, a single upright eye, four arms, bodies covered in white fur, or a cat tail protruding from their buttocks, and so on."

Although their physical features differed, they generally walked on two legs, had dexterous hands, and fell within the human category.

Translation: "Their physical traits differed, but generally they walked on two legs, had dexterous hands, and belonged to the human category."

These controllers were mostly planetary-level; their seniority mainly ranged from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of years, and those over a million years old were especially respected, including He Yunshan and the Lord of the Long River.

Everyone entered the tavern and sat down; an NPC waiter immediately brought drinks.

Translation: "Everyone entered the tavern and sat down; an NPC waiter immediately brought drinks."

Drinking here felt much like in the Myriad Heavens game—realistic sensation, but without actual intoxication.

Translation: "Drinking here is basically the same as in the Myriad Heavens Game—realistic sensation, but you won't actually get drunk."

"Lord of the Myriad Heavens, you're as young as the Moonlight Lord; how much do you know about our human civilization?" asked the Lord of the Long River.

Translation: "\"Lord of the Myriad Heavens, you're still young like the Lord of Moonlight—how much do you know about human civilization? \" asked the Lord of the Long River."

Before Xiao Feng could answer, the Moonlight Lord, Alldena, said: "The Lord of the Myriad Heavens is far younger than I am—just over twenty years old, making him the youngest controller in cosmic history. Moreover, he is also the strongest player in the Myriad Heavens game, having attracted the attention of the progenitors of all races."

Translation: "Before Xiao Feng could reply, the Lord of Moonlight, Aladena, said: \"The Lord of the Myriad Heavens is far younger than I—just over twenty years old, the youngest controller in cosmic history. Moreover, he is also the strongest player in the Myriad Heavens Game, having attracted the attention of the primordial ancestors of all races. \"

"Just over twenty? How is that possible? Are you calculating using the common year?" Both the Lord of the Long River and the Purple Mountain Lord felt incredulous.

Translation: "\"Just over twenty? How is that possible? Are you using the common year calculation? \" The Lord of the Long River and the Lord of Purple Mountain both felt incredulous."

Under normal circumstances, even a peerless genius would be over 300 years old when breaking through to controller, and very few

Note: there is a line break in the original; line 13 ends with the word "very few". We'll keep it as is.

Someone can reach this point in an even shorter time.

Translation: "could reach this stage in a shorter time."

Being in one's twenties, an ordinary person hasn't even reached the extraordinary level—it's utterly absurd!

Translation: "In their twenties, an ordinary person hasn't even reached the extraordinary level—it's utterly absurd!"

Xiao Feng explained: "In terms of age, I am indeed in my twenties, but thanks to my performance in the game, I received a boon from the progenitors, allowing my mortal body to break directly into the peak of the extraordinary, saving me a long period of arduous training."

Translation: "Xiao Feng explained: \"In terms of age, I am indeed in my twenties, but because of my performance in the game, I received an opportunity granted by the primordial ancestors, allowing my mortal body to break through directly to the peak of the extraordinary, skipping a long period of arduous training. \"

Now, the term 'year' used throughout the universe has been standardized, roughly equivalent to a Blue Star year—about 360 days, the same as in the Myriad Heavens.

Translation: "Now the term 'year' used throughout the universe has been standardized, roughly equivalent to a Blue Star year—about 360 days, the same as in the Myriad Heavens."

Before, different clans and cosmic nations had their own day-counting and year-counting systems, based on their respective capital planets. Some planets rotated slowly, making one day equal to ten and a half Blue Star days; others had slow revolutions, making one year equal to twenty or thirty Blue Star years.

Translation: "Before, different ethnic groups and interstellar nations had varying day-count and year-count systems, measured by their respective capital planets. Some planets rotated slowly, making a day equal to fifteen Blue Star days; others revolved slowly, making a year equal to twenty or thirty Blue Star years."

Upon hearing Xiao Feng's words, the Lord of the Long River and the Purple Mountain Lord were surprised; even the Heaven-Reaching Sword Saint and the Moonlight Lord grew curious, asking: "Can your flesh withstand jumping straight from a mortal body to the peak of the extraordinary? Isn't there supposed to be prolonged, excruciating pain, near collapse?"

Translation: "Hearing Xiao Feng's words, the Lord of the Long River and the Lord of Purple Mountain were greatly surprised; even the Heaven-Piercing Sword Saint and the Lord of Moonlight grew curious, asking: \"Going straight from a mortal body to the peak of the extraordinary—can your flesh endure it? Surely there wasn't prolonged, excruciating pain bordering on collapse? \""

Xiao Feng shook his head: "No, at that time the progenitors... they cleared my body's meridians for me, then flooded me with cosmic energy to absorb. After that rapid surge, I spent some time adapting to my bodily strength and felt no discomfort."

Translation: "Xiao Feng shook his head: \"No, at that time the primordial ancestors... cleared my meridians for me, then flooded me with cosmic energy to absorb. After the rapid breakthrough, I spent some time adapting to my bodily strength and felt no discomfort. \"

The time Chen Jie beat him up was his first major fortune in reality.

Translation: "The time Chen Jie beat him up was his first major fortune encountered in reality."

Mount Qingfeng's Lord Chen Xiao Ba frowned: "Forging extraordinary genes isn't done overnight; forcing growth certainly brings major side effects. Your ability to break through without bottlenecks suggests the boon came from our human progenitor, who used temporal law to erase hidden dangers for you—she"

Note: there is a line break in the original; line 22 ends with the word "she". We'll keep it as is.

Translation: "Lord of Clearwind Mountain Chen Xiao Ba frowned: \"Forging extraordinary genes isn't done overnight; forcing growth will surely cause serious side effects. Your smooth breakthrough without bottlenecks suggests the boon came from our human race's Dao Ancestor, who used temporal law to erase hidden dangers for you—she"

She herself bore the cost for you.

Translation: "has borne the cost herself. \"

"This..."

Translation: "\"This... \""

Xiao Feng was greatly surprised, yet also felt a sudden enlightenment.

Translation: "Xiao Feng was greatly astonished, yet also felt a sudden enlightenment."

He hadn't known this before; Chen Jie hadn't mentioned it, and he had assumed his transformation to the extraordinary peak was merely due to his cells opening after the beating, with ample energy, a single intense infusion achieving the goal.

Translation: "He hadn't known this before; Chen Jie hadn't mentioned it, and he had assumed his transformation to the extraordinary peak was merely because the beating opened all his cells, then ample energy allowed a massive infusion to achieve the goal."

Now, upon hearing Chen Xiao Ba's words, he realized that his brief half-day growth actually carried huge hidden dangers; if an ordinary person acted that way, even without becoming disabled, they would ruin their foundation and never be able to advance again!

Translation: "Now, hearing Chen Xiao Ba's words, he realized that his brief half-day growth actually carried great hidden dangers; if an ordinary person did that, even without becoming disabled, they would ruin their foundation and never advance again."

While Chen Jie gave him the opportunity, she also bore the harm caused by the 'acceleration'; for her strength, that small cost might be nothing, but for anyone else—even an eternal-level controller—it would be unbearable!

Translation: "While Chen Jie gave him the opportunity, she also bore the harm from the \"acceleration\"; to her strength, that small cost might be nothing, but for anyone else—even an eternal-level controller—it would be unbearable!"

"So that's how it is... Progenitor sister, just how much have you secretly helped me?" Xiao Feng couldn't help but feel moved.

Translation: "\"So that's how it is…… Dao Ancestor Sister, just how much have you secretly helped me? \" Xiao Feng couldn't help but feel moved."

Chen Jie's nature makes her dislike explaining herself to others, so her actions sometimes seem inexplicable; when she feels wronged, she also won't tell anyone, bearing it alone.

Translation: "Chen Jie's nature makes her dislike explaining herself to others, so her actions sometimes seem inexplicable; when she feels wronged, she also won't tell anyone, bearing it alone."

Such a personality isn't good; whenever the chance arises, we must certainly guide and enlighten her!

Translation: "Such a personality isn't good; if I get the chance, I'll definitely counsel her!"

The Lord of the Long River said: "Even if a progenitor bestows fortune, one's innate talent and effort must still be sufficient to reach this point; otherwise, given the vastness of the cosmos, the progenitors have advised countless juniors—hundreds of thousands—yet no one has managed to break through within a century."

Translation: "The Lord of the Long River said: \"Even if the Dao Ancestor bestows fortune, one's own talent and effort must be sufficient to reach this point. Otherwise, given the vastness of the cosmos, the Dao Ancestors have guided tens of thousands—if not hundreds of thousands—of juniors, yet no one has managed to break through within a hundred years. \"

"Yeah, the body is easy to shape, but the will is hard to grow. The law of time isn't omnipotent; some people, even if a progenitor accelerates them a hundred million times, still can't break through and instead age prematurely and die."

Note: there is a line break in the original; line 33 ends with the word "die". We'll keep it as is.

Translation: "\"Yes, the body is easy to shape, but the will is hard to grow. The law of time isn't omnipotent; some people, even if the Dao Ancestor accelerates them a hundred million times, still cannot break through—instead they age prematurely and die\"

"Go." The Purple Mountain Lord also nodded in agreement.

Translation: ". \" The Lord of Purple Mountain also nodded in agreement."

After all, they were just indirectly praising Xiao Feng's talent.

Translation: "After all, they were just indirectly praising Xiao Feng's talent."

Xiao Feng laughed: "Actually, my breakthrough is also closely tied to my experiences in the Myriad Heavens world. That world is strange and wondrous, full of opportunities and hardships. It is precisely the tempering and striving in the game that allowed my willpower to reach its current level in just a few short years."

Translation: "Xiao Feng laughed: \"Actually, my breakthrough is also closely tied to my experiences in the Myriad Heavens World. That world is strange and wondrous, full of opportunities and hardships. It is precisely the tempering and striving in the game that allowed my willpower to reach its present level in just a few short years. \"

"It's said that time in the Myriad Heavens world flows ten times faster than the outside; if you spent decades tempering your will there, that would still be plausible."

Translation: "\"It's said that time in the Myriad Heavens World flows ten times faster than outside; if you spent several decades tempering your will there, that would still be plausible. \"

"Even so, you're still a peerless genius. With your talent, you'll at least become an eternal-level controller in the future, possibly even a progenitor. We ought to cozy up to you now, lest we miss out on great fortune—hahaha."

Translation: "\"Even so, you remain a peerless genius. With your talent, you will at least become an eternal-level controller, and possibly even a Dao Ancestor. We ought to cozy up to you now, lest we miss out on great fortune—hahaha. \"

The Lord of the Long River and the Purple Mountain Lord were very enthusiastic.

Translation: "The Lord of the Long River and the Lord of Purple Mountain were very enthusiastic."

Their words contained an element of flattery, but they sounded pleasant nonetheless.

Translation: "Their words carried a hint of flattery, yet they sounded genuinely pleasant."

Everyone drank together.

Translation: "Everyone drank together."

After a pause, the Moonlight Lord, Alldena, said: "Lord of the Long River, Purple Mountain Lord, you've recently been on the border battlefield, so you know the situation there better. Given the Lord of the Myriad Heavens' talent, our clan would surely treasure him; logically, we shouldn't send him to the battlefield, right?"

Translation: "After a pause, the Lord of Moonlight Aladena said: \"Lord of the Long River, Lord of Purple Mountain, you've recently been stationed at the border battlefield, so you know the situation there better. Given the Lord of the Myriad Heavens' talent, our people would surely treasure him; logically, they shouldn't send him to the front lines, right? \""

Upon mention of war, Xiao Feng pricked up his ears.

Translation: "Upon mention of war, Xiao Feng pricked up his ears."

In the real cosmos, he had only vaguely heard of interstellar territorial wars and didn't know the details.

Translation: "In the real universe's interstellar wars, he had only heard rumors vaguely and didn't know the specifics."

The Lord of the Long River said: "I'm not entirely sure either; border wars are risky, and a careless mistake could lead to one's downfall. Normally, extraordinarily talented controllers should be protected, but you also know that honing one's strength in danger accelerates growth, so perhaps the progenitors would choose to send the Master of All Things..."

Note: there is a line break in the original; line 45 ends with the words "Master of All Things". We'll keep it as is.

Translation: "The Lord of the Long River said: \"I'm not entirely sure either; border warfare is high-risk, and a careless mistake could lead to one's demise. Normally, extraordinarily talented controllers should be protected, but you also know that honing strength in danger accelerates growth—perhaps the Primordial Ancestors would choose to send the Lord of All Things"

to participate in the war, thereby stimulating his deeper potential.

Translation: "into battle, to stimulate his deeper potential. \"

Xiao Feng couldn't help but ask: "What exactly is the situation with this border war? Do only those in control get to participate?"
