Translation: The Lord of the Long River and the Lord of Purple Mountain are currently staying at the border of the domain; in recent years, due to the launch of The Myriad Heavens, the war has temporarily ceased, they are idle, so they went to the Controllers' Plane to chat and drink with controllers of various planets from their own kind, exchanging insights on cultivation.

Translation: The Star River Cosmic Nation's small town has many people. Controllers have plenty of time, basically not busy.

Several Dao Ancestors have taken notice of him; his future is limitless—you can befriend him and reap many benefits.'" Need to ensure no Chinese characters inside quotes.

He has already been favored by several Dao Ancestors; his future is limitless, everyone can befriend him, and he will bring many benefits in the future."

We need to keep quotes. We'll keep the quoted speech inside translation.

: "Xiao Feng felt embarrassed by all the praise, and as everyone kept urging him to drink, he had no choice but to down each drink." OK.

: "Once the other controllers had departed and the Lord of the Long River and the Purple Mountain Prince had also left, He Yunshan lowered his voice and told Xiao Feng: 'Xiao Feng, what Xiao Ba just said was for your own good. You come from an unregistered native world; though your strength is decent, you're also easy to be targeted, so you need a backing. Among humans, things aren't completely harmonious—there are conflicts and killings. If you ever face an enemy, quickly use your virtual body or let me know in the game, and I'll rush to help you.'" Check for Chinese: "unregistered native world" fine. "virtual body" fine. "game" fine. No Chinese.

Translation: After all the controllers from various sides had left, and the Lord of the Long River and the Lord of Purple Mountain also departed, He Yunshan lowered his voice and said to Xiao Feng: "Junior Brother Xiao, what Xiao Ba just said was also for your own good. You come from an unregistered indigenous planet; although your strength is not bad, you are also easily targeted, so you need a background to rely on. Within our human race, there is not complete harmony; there are also conflicts and killings. In the future, if you encounter enemies, promptly use your virtual body or notify me in the game, and I will rush to help you as soon as possible."

: "virtual body, game" OK.

: "Background…" OK.

Translation: Background…

: "Xiao Feng nodded to show he understood." OK.

Translation: Xiao Feng nodded to indicate understanding.

: "'Thanks, Elder He and Elder Chen,' he replied hastily." OK.

Translation: "Thanks, Elder Brother He and Elder Brother Chen." He quickly said.

: "Chen Xiao Ba waved his hand: 'It's nothing; what matters most is you yourself. Strength is the most reliable support—once you're strong, you won't need to borrow a Dao Ancestor's prestige as a background.'" OK.

Translation: Chen Xiao Ba waved his hand: "It's just a small matter; the most important thing is yourself. Strength is the most reliable backing; when you become strong, you won't need to rely on the prestige of a Dao Ancestor as a background."

: "'I understand,' Xiao Feng said solemnly." OK.

Translation: "I understand." Xiao Feng said solemnly.

: "'Come on, let's check out somewhere else. The controllers' realm isn't just the streets of the Star River Universe Nation—there are other streets and alien territories too.' He Yunshan rose, called to Xiao Feng and the others, and they all left the tavern." OK.

Translation: "Let's go, let's stroll elsewhere. The Controllers' Plane isn't just the streets of the Star River Cosmic Nation; there are other streets and the territories of other races as well." He Yunshan stood up, greeted Xiao Feng and the others, and together they left the tavern.

Translation: Xiao Feng's virtual body does not affect his real body; here, following He Yunshan and others, he wanders around, after finishing one cosmic nation he goes to another, seeing a strong expert of one clan and then going to see another clan's strong expert.

: "Though the controllers' realm isn't big, wandering around like this, they ended up spending several days without realizing it." OK.

Translation: Although the Controllers' Plane is not large, wandering from place to place like this, unnoticed, several days have passed.

: "In those few days, Xiao Feng's title 'Lord of Myriad Heavens' gradually spread among the" OK.

Translation: In those few days, Xiao Feng's title "Lord of the Myriad Heavens" gradually spread among the

: same.

: "It spread across the controllers' realm, so both humans and other clans' powerhouses came to know this new rising star." OK.

Translation: controllers' world, whether human or experts of other clans, all knew this newly risen expert.

We need to combine meaning: The split lines likely meant: "In those few days, Xiao Feng's title "Lord of the Myriad Heavens" gradually spread among the controllers' world, whether human or experts of other clans, all knew this newly risen expert." We'll translate each line separately as required.

Thus line 25 translation: "In those few days, Xiao Feng's title "Lord of the Myriad Heavens" gradually spread among the"

Line 26 translation: "controllers' world, whether human or experts of other clans, all knew this newly risen expert."

We must keep the line breaks as per input; each line separate.

: "Furthermore, because '

Translation: Moreover, due to the popularity of The Myriad Heavens, people have a clear impression of him; it is estimated that some of the controllers in the game's major battle zones will inform their top players in the real world about Xiao Feng's affairs.

Over the next few days, Xiao Feng also got to know many powerful beings.

Translation: After a few days, Xiao Feng also made acquaintance with many strong individuals.

Among controllers, the most common are planetary‑level, usually with less than a million years of seniority, and they are fairly active.

Translation: Among the controllers' realms, the most numerous are planet‑level; their cultivation age is generally under a million years, and they are relatively active.

Stellar‑level controllers are less common; some have only tens of thousands of years of seniority, while others have millions, similar to He Yunshan.

Translation: Star‑level controllers are fewer; some have only tens of thousands of years of cultivation, while a portion have millions of years, comparable to He Yunshan.

Eternal‑level controllers are even scarcer; in just a few days we saw only a few dozen, each a radiant, awe‑inspiring presence, many with tens of millions of years of seniority, and some even reaching hundreds of millions of years.

Translation: Eternal‑level controllers are even rarer; in those few days we saw only a few dozen, each a dazzling existence, with cultivation ages of tens of millions not uncommon, and some even reaching hundreds of millions of years!

As for the Dao Ancestors, they are elusive like a divine dragon showing only its head—just as controllers are hard for ordinary people to see, the Dao Ancestors are likewise rare.

Translation: As for the Dao Ancestor, the Divine Dragon appears headless and tailless, just like controllers are hard to see in ordinary people's eyes.

After a few days, Xiao Feng, He Yunshan, and the others exited the controllers' space.

Translation: After a few days, Xiao Feng, He Yunshan and the others withdrew from the controllers' space.

Their consciousness returned to the pavilion on Clear Wind Mountain on Earth; the five of them were still sitting there, and the tea had long gone cold.

Some of Chen Xiao Ba's disciples were practicing their skills in the distance, not daring to come over and disturb them.

Translation: Some of Chen Xiao Ba's disciples were practicing martial arts in the distance, not daring to come over and disturb.

Xiao Feng opened his eyes to take in the beautiful landscape, and remarked: 'This universe is truly huge! The star chart displayed earlier by Elder Yun Cloud was absolutely mind‑blowing!'

Translation: Xiao Feng opened his eyes to behold the beautiful mountain scenery, and exclaimed: "This universe is truly vast! The star‑system chart shown earlier by Venerable Black Cloud was truly shocking!"

Before departing the controllers' realm, he beheld the full known universe as understood by all civilizations.

Translation: Before withdrawing from the controllers' space, he witnessed the currently known full panorama of the universe from all civilizations.

That star chart is enormously vast; even a tiny speck expands into a whole star system, and the number of such specks is as innumerable as sand grains on a shore.

Translation: That star map is terrifyingly huge; a tiny dot, when magnified, turns out to be an entire star system! And the number of such dots is as countless as the grains of sand on a beach.

Chen Xiao Ba

Translation: Chen Xiao Ba

He smiled and said: 'Mayflies are unaware of the sky's vastness; ants cannot grasp the endless earth. Being weak isn't scary; not knowing your own weakness is. Once you realize how immense the universe is, you've already outstripped at least 99% of living beings. Xiao Feng, I believe in you—one day you'll behold the entire cosmos and become one of its masters.'

Translation: He chuckled and said: "Mayflies know not the vastness of the sky; ants cannot comprehend the boundlessness of the earth. Weakness itself is not frightening; what is frightening is not knowing one's own weakness. When you realize the universe is vast, you have already surpassed at least 99% of living beings. Xiao Feng, I have high hopes for you; one day you will behold the whole starry sky and become one of its masters."

'Elder Chen, I… I'm still far behind; without luck on my side, I doubt I can even reach transcendence.' Xiao Feng, feeling a bit embarrassed by the compliments, sighed.

Translation: "Elder Brother Chen, I… sigh, I am still far, far away; without luck accompanying me all the way, I fear I may never even reach the transcendental realm." Xiao Feng, feeling a bit embarrassed by the praise, sighed.

He Yunshan chuckled: 'Opportunity is part of strength too; without it, I'd have died millions of years ago, and my master wouldn't have become universe lord. Opportunity helps, but it's only a help. What truly makes us strong is a fearless, ever‑forward heart.'

Translation: He Yunshan laughed and said: "Opportunity is also part of strength; without opportunity, I would have died millions of years ago; without opportunity, my master would not have become the Lord of the Universe. You must understand: opportunity is a great aid, but only an aid. What truly lets us grow strong is having a heart that fears nothing and presses forward relentlessly."

'Okay, I've learned my lesson!' Xiao Feng took the advice to heart.

Translation: "Hmm, I've been taught!" Xiao Feng accepted this instruction.

'Well, let's drop that. It's leisure time now—where do you want to go have fun?' He Yunshan grinned, his formal attitude disappeared, and he went back to being lighthearted.

Translation: "Hmm, let's not talk about that; now is leisure time, where do you want to go play?" He Yunshan smiled, his serious demeanor vanished at once, and he continued to be unserious.

Xiao Feng pondered and said: 'I plan to keep this virtual body on Earth long‑term so I can play whenever I like. For now, let's head to Kyushu, as I promised my friends I'd visit them—I can't break my promise.'

Translation: Xiao Feng thought and replied: "I intend to keep this virtual body on Earth for a long time; I can play whenever I want. For now… let's first go to the Nine Provinces to have a look; I told friends I would go find them, I cannot go back on my word."

'Kyushu? …'

Translation: "The Nine Provinces? emmm…"

Upon hearing where he wanted to go, He Yunshan's expression immediately fell.

Translation: Upon hearing where he wanted to go, He Yunshan's expression immediately collapsed.

'What's wrong, Elder He?' Xiao Feng asked.

Translation: "What's wrong, Elder Brother He?" Xiao Feng asked.

Chen Xiao Ba laughed and said: 'This kid has offended many people; Kyushu doesn't welcome him.'

Translation: Chen Xiao Ba laughed and said: "This kid has offended many people; the Nine Provinces do not welcome him."

Xiao Feng could only give a bitter smile.

Translation: Xiao Feng could only bitterly smile.

I nearly forgot that He Yunshan's title 'Unrivaled Dao Tyrant' came from Kyushu.

Translation: I almost forgot that He Yunshan's title "Lawless Hegemon" originated from the Nine Provinces.

He must have earned it by stirring up trouble, which pissed off a lot of folks.

Translation: obtained there, surely he was stirring up trouble recklessly, angering many people.

Kyushu boasts far more powerful beings than Earth; even though He Yunshan is unbeatable on Earth, venturing into Kyushu would likely leave him powerless to resist, so his reluctance is understandable.

Translation: The strong ones in the Nine Provinces far surpass those on Earth; even though He Yunshan is invincible on Earth, entering the Nine Provinces he would very likely be beaten to the point of having no power to resist, so it's normal not to dare go.

'We'll bring you to Kunlun, open the portal to the immortal realm and send you in; then you can explore on your own. This is the origin of our civilization—if you wander around there, you might gain something.' Chen Xiao Ba suggested this, saying he wouldn't go along.

Translation: "We'll take you to Kunlun, open the Immortal Realm Gate to send you in, then you can explore on your own. That is the birthplace of our lineage's civilization; there you can explore thoroughly, and perhaps you'll gain something." Chen Xiao Ba proposed this, indicating that they themselves would not accompany him.

Xiao Feng considered it and said: 'Okay, I'll go alone; after I've had my fill, I'll come back to Earth to ask everyone for advice on controller cultivation.'

Translation: Xiao Feng thought and nodded: "Alright, then I'll go by myself; after I've had enough fun, I'll return to Earth to ask everyone for advice on the controllers' cultivation."

'No need to be polite.'

Translation: "No need to be polite."

Having said that, everyone rose to their feet.

Translation: Having said that, everyone rose to their feet.

With a single teleport, the five of them arrived at Mount Kunlun in the western snowlands.

Translation: With a teleport, the five of them arrived at Western Xue Yu Kunlun Mountain.

This legendary mountain, close to its peak, features a stone door.

Translation: This myth‑laden famous mountain, near its summit area, has a stone gate.

He Yunshan stepped forward, grabbed the door panel with both hands, let out a low shout, and shoved it open with brute force.

Chen Xiao Ba explained: "There was no door here before; for convenience of entry and exit, the Yu Emperor personally installed it. When you want to come out, you open it the same way from inside—just need a force of one trillion tons, and you can push it open."

Xiao Feng calculated: one trillion tons…… is just the weight of one or two big mountains; for him now, it's nothing.

Stone door opened, inside nothing could be seen, similar to the teleportation gate in the game.

Xiao Feng bid temporary farewell to everyone, then stepped inside.
