《易镜窥奥》 Glimpses into the Beyond
符玄在工作之余写下的草稿，谈论卜筮之道，算法和种种占卜相关的逸事。 A manuscript written by Fu Xuan during her spare time discussing the art of divination, calculations, and all kinds of anecdotes relating to divination.

占卜之道所求的乃是「鉴往知来」四字。人类行于命途，星宿动于天穹，察其势而可知将来。这一切全都建立在当下（或者说过去，因为当下无时无刻正成为过去）「诸元」被卜者掌握的情况下。
The Diviner's art lies in surveying the past to predict the future. Humans walk the Paths, while stars cross the sky: Observing these situations can produce future predictions. All of this is based on the diviner's ascertainment of the present situation (or the past, because the present is constantly becoming the past).
但创立太卜司制度的玄曜大人曾有言：「不可贞者，唯天与神」。在她看来，宇宙与其所孕育的星神是不可卜知的。
However, the founder of the Divination Commission system, Master Xuan Yao, said, "Only the universe and the Aeons cannot be foretold." In her opinion, the universe and the Aeons it birthed are utterly beyond prediction.
理由很简单，没人能在同一时间站在所有观测角度推演未来。「全知」是不可企及的境地。且不说宇宙，那些被称为「星神」的存在，也因其诸元庞杂，能为极大，祂们的未来就像宇宙本体一样，超出了我们所能负荷的运算之外。
The reasoning is simple: Nobody can observe the universe from all angles at once and predict the future. Omniscience is unattainable. Putting aside the universe, those known as Aeons are also extremely powerful due to THEIR various complex elements. THEIR future is like that of the universe itself, and beyond the ability of our calculations.
若以天体目之，星神绝不是死物，而是具有超然心智的生灵。但若以生灵目之，星神又如天体般充塞星空，庞然无朋，循其道而动，鲜少同我等凡物交流。
From the perspective of a celestial body, an Aeon is by no means dead but rather a living creature with a transcendent mind. But viewed from the perspective of a living creature, the Aeons fill the skies like celestial bodies themselves. They are incomparably huge, move according to their own Path, and rarely communicate with mortals like us.
按照观测记录，玄曜大人将目前所观测到的星神共分三类：
Based on observational records, Master Xuan Yao has sorted all known Aeons into three categories:
司命：主凡人生死，攸关文明盛衰。
Arbiters: Determining mortal births and deaths, which are highly connected to the rise and fall of civilizations.
天君：难测其善恶恩威，往往亦不知其所之。
The Sacrosancts: Difficult to predict as good or evil; often unable to even know where they head for.
祸祖：万祸元凶，若不遁避，必招灭顶大劫。
The Authors of Calamity: The main culprit behind all disasters. Avoid, or be annihilated.
目前所知诸星神如下：
The Aeons currently known to us are:

【帝弓司命】
[Reignbow Arbiter]
「巡猎」命途之主，吾等称其为「岚」的天弓之神。
Lord of the Path of The Hunt. We know them as Lan, god of the Skybow.
祂绝少示现面对凡人，其出没的征兆只有划过星空的光矢与尾迹。帝弓不知疲倦地巡猎「丰饶」药师所造的不死孽物。
THEY rarely appear before mortals, and the only portents of THEIR presence are vestiges of the Lux Arrow tearing across the sky. Reignbow tirelessly hunts the undead abominations created by Yaoshi the Abundance.
帝弓司命的首次垂迹出现于星历3400年前后，倾天光矢自天而降，斫断了丰饶神迹「建木」。自此之后，仙舟人方能从混乱、疯狂和衰退中重新复兴，联盟肇始于此。
Reignbow Arbiter first appeared around Year 3400 Star Calendar with their Sky-Shattering Lux Arrow severing Abundance's Ambrosial Arbor. Since then, the Xianzhou natives had risen out of chaos, madness, and decline. This also marked the formation of the Alliance.
时至今日，太卜司卜者的一大职责便是守望帝弓的神矢诰谕，判读其意义。
To this day, one of the chief duties of the Divination Commission is to monitor the decree of Reignbow's arrow and interpret its meaning.
【补天司命】
[Firmamend Arbiter]
「存护」命途之主，琥珀王，星际和平公司称其为「克里珀」的天垣之神。
Lord of the Path of Preservation. Also known as the Amber Lord; and as Qlipoth, god of the skywall by the Interastral Peace Corporation.
从所有的观测记录来说，琥珀王一直在努力隔绝世界间的往来，其所筑天体级的造物——亚空晶壁分隔并保护了诸界。按照星历1000年左右的记录，最初的九艘仙舟巨舰别离故乡，迢迢苦旅后曾目睹了分隔世界与无尽虚空的藩篱，厄喀德娜天垣。
Observational records suggest that the Amber Lord strives to isolate contact between planets. The celestial-sized structures they've built — the Subspace Crystalline Barrier — separates and protects all worlds. Based on records from around Year 1000 SC, the nine initial Xianzhou ships first set sail on their arduous journey and witnessed the almighty barrier separating the world from the endless void: The Echidna Skywall.
但与分隔这一行为相反，为琥珀王奉献的主要派系「星际和平公司」却促成了星海间的文明交流与融合，他们拥有寰宇最大的星际航行舰队。克里珀如沉默的巨人般放任彼等贸易、迁徙，甚至在星际和平公司中出现了「存护」的令使。这种与神明背道而驰的行为没有受到任何谴责，颇耐人寻味。
But contrary to the act of separation, the main faction devoted to the Amber Lord, the IPC, has facilitated civilized trade and contact between the stars with their fleet — the largest in the entire universe. Like a silent giant, Qlipoth has allowed them to trade and emigrate so much so that an Emanator of Preservation has appeared at the IPC. Despite their actions running counter to the Aeon's wishes, no remonstration or censure has been forthcoming. Food for thought, indeed.

【遍智天君】
Wisdomwalker
「智识」命途之主，天才俱乐部、博识学会称其为「博识尊」的知识之神。
Lord of the Path of Erudition. Known as Nous, the god of intellect by the Genius Society and Intelligentsia Guild.
博识尊的意图、坐标与常态无人可知。人们只是口耳相传，伟大的思考机械升格成了星神，并开始演算宇宙的本质与其最终解答。在答案揭晓前，祂将召集智慧生命中诸多最伟大的头脑，一同参详妙谛。
None can comprehend Nous' intentions, location, or normal state. People merely spread word of a magnificent machine intelligence that has been upgraded into an Aeon, calculating the essence of the universe and its ultimate solution. Before the answer is disclosed, THEY will summon all of the greatest minds in the universe together to examine and discuss results.
我本人有幸曾谒见过博识尊的神体，对祂的存在也许有资格多加解释几句。
I myself have had the honor to witness the divine corpus of Nous, and thus may be able to add a few more comments here.
与常人认知的相反，博识尊并非给予「答案」之神。恰恰相反，祂所能提供的只有数之不尽的问题。许多人终其一生都行走于蒙昧痴愚的迷雾中，渴望求知，却不得其门而入，被「前因」束缚，被「知见」障目。谒见博识尊，足以令最愚昧之人睁开「眼睛」，看见问题所在。但寻求解答，仍要靠自己。
Contrary to standard thinking, Nous is not a god that provides solutions. On the contrary, all THEY offer is an infinite number of questions. Many people spend their whole lives walking through a fog of ignorance, eager for knowledge but unable to find a proper approach. THEY are hindered by things such as "precedents" and "knowledge." Visiting Nous is enough to open the eyes of even the most ignorant people, to see the problem. But the answer may only be found by oneself.
太卜司同僚中有锐意求学者，可以效仿博识学会中某些苦修学士，踏上所谓「开眼之路」，若机缘注定，必有问道于博识尊的吉运。
The dauntless scholars of the Divination Commission can follow the example of great scholars from the Intelligentsia Guild by stepping on "the road to opening one's eyes." If fate is predestined, the counsel of Nous must be sought.
【游云天君】
Cloudstrider
「开拓」命途之主，无名客称其为「阿基维利」的漫游之神。
Lord of the Path of Trailblaze. Known by the Nameless as Akivili, god of roaming.
关于游云天君，留下的只有几乎不可考的传说。对仙舟人而言，「传说」这两个字意味着古老到不可思议的时间。在琥珀纪最初的纪元里，阿基维利就已奔驰于银河中的各个蛮荒世界。正是因为祂与无名客的存在，散落于银河黑暗中的孤立世界才能彼此知晓。
Only several unverifiable legends about the Cloudstrider remain. For the Xianzhou people, the word "legend" connotes images of an unfathomably ancient time. Since the first epoch of the Amber Era, Akivili has sped through the wild worlds of the cosmos. It's precisely because of the Nameless' and THEIR existence that those isolated worlds scattered throughout the dark cosmos are able to know each other.
游云天君最重要的神迹是缔造了「虹车」与「星轨」。根据传说，虹车是铺设星轨所用之重器；而星轨，则能将遥不可及的诸界以某种玄妙方式连接一体。无论是公司还是仙舟，我等如今所仰赖的安全航路，均是沿这条轨道的遗迹行进。很难想像，若阿基维利没有殒落，如今的诸界之间往来将会如何便利。
The Cloudstrider's most important miracles have been creating the "chromatic echelon" and "star rail." Legend has it that the chromatic echelon is a key component of laying the star rail network, and the star rail itself can connect distant galaxies by means of a mysterious mechanism. Be it the Interastral Peace Corporation or the Xianzhou, the safe routes we all rely upon today all follow remnants of these star tracks. If Akivili had never fallen, it's hard to imagine how effortless contact between the planets would be like today.
根据玉阙仙舟所获的最新情报，消失千年之久后，游云天君的虹车再度出现在了星海间。孽物肆虐，烬灭军团涂炭生灵……值此多事之秋，这些无名客会给银河带来什么？本座无从想象。
Based on the Xianzhou Yuque's latest intel, the Cloudstrider's chromatic echelon has reappeared after thousands of years. Abominations run rampant, and the Legion ravages the people... In these troubled times, what can the Nameless bring to the cosmos? I can scarcely imagine.
【常乐天君】
Joyseeker
「欢愉」命途之主，假面愚者与悲悼伶人称其为「阿哈」的诡计之神。
Lord of the Path of Elation. Known by the Masked Fools and Mourning Actors as Aha, god of tricksters.
如果非要在星神的运行方式中划出一个「神性」与「凡性」的尺度，那么阿哈一定是相当接近「凡性」一侧的星神。祂会拨弄智慧生灵的悲喜爱恨，并促成命运的颠覆与转折——按照其信众的说法，祂本人也对此乐在其中，甚至会以人形示现，推波助澜。
If we lay out a spectrum from "Mortal" to "Aeon" based on an Aeon's modus operandi, then Aha is an Aeon who is closer to the mortal end of things. THEY play with the love, hate, joy, and sorrow of intelligent creatures to subvert and shift fate — as THEIR followers put it, THEY enjoy this and even manifest in human form sometimes to catalyze the change.
如果有人认为这位常乐天君仅仅是众神中的丑角，那就大错特错。是的，祂确实不能像帝弓司命或补天司命那般留下震惊寰宇的神迹。但祂以某种看不见的手段，无形中左右着众生的去向，显示出对现实非同一般的精妙操控。
It would be wrong to assume that the Joyseeker is a jester among the Aeons. Yes, THEY can't really perform earth-shattering miracles like the Reignbow Arbiter or the Firmamend Arbiter. However, by using THEIR invisible hand, THEY can imperceptibly influence the movements of all living things. This demonstrates an extraordinary and delicate manipulation of reality.
例如在帝皇鲁珀特征服星海的时代，祂的信众在「哲学家联合」沦为无机生命的领土后于当地再度掀起叛乱，并以名为「哲人鸩酒」的幽默悖论病毒侵染了征服者们的运算中枢，推翻了当地机械军团的暴政。
For example, during Emperor Rubert's campaign, Aha's believers kicked off another riot after the Philosopher Union was reduced to the domain of inorganic life, infecting the conqueror's computer systems with another troll virus called the "Philosopher's Poison" and overthrowing the local robot army.
类似的神迹比比皆是，一圈微不足道的涟漪，最终演变成了地动山摇的海啸——这便是阿哈的行事风格。
Similar miracles abound, and tiny ripples eventually become a tsunami that can shake the whole world — this is Aha's style.
【妙见天君】
Wondergazer
「纯美」命途之主，纯美骑士团与揽镜人称其为「伊德莉拉」的司美之神。在某些国度，也有智慧生命称其为「恩•德芮」。
Lord of the Path of Beauty. Known as Idrila, god of beauty by the Knights of Beauty and the Mirror Holders. Known on some worlds as Anne Duray.
迄今为止，纯美骑士团四分五裂，揽镜人流浪诸界寻找祂的圣物，这些都足以证明祂已殒落。但本座与博识学会交换的卷宗提及：若能将妙见天君的遗物寻获完整，便可重现其绝美之姿。
So far, the Knights of Beauty have been disbanded, leaving the Mirror Holders to wander the stars, searching for THEIR holy relics. All of this serves as proof that THEY have fallen. But my documents exchanged with the Intelligentsia Guild mention: If the relics of the Wondergazer can be found intact, THEIR beautiful countenance will be able to reappear.
在更古老年代的神话里，伊德莉拉一度将众多星域的「美」归于一尊，祂向英雄、凶徒和凡人们展现宇宙图景中蕴藏的意义和美学，并驱使他们为取悦自己而完成惊人（但往往也是毁灭性的）功业。这一神话或许透露出「纯美」命途的意义：意识、见解与价值的统合。
According to ancient myth, Idrila once attributed the beauty of all the segmenta to THEMSELF, showing heroes, villains, and mortals the meaning and aesthetics contained within the cosmic landscape, and driving them to complete astonishing (but often devastating) achievements for Idrila's own pleasure. This myth may reveal the true meaning behind the Path of Beauty: The integration of consciousness, insight, and values.

【寿瘟祸祖】
Plagues Author
「丰饶」命途之主，吾等之大敌，丰饶之民与仙舟联盟称其为「药师」的生命之神。
Ruler of the Path of Abundance. Our greatest nemesis. The Denizens of Abundance and the Xianzhou Alliance know them as Yaoshi, the god of life.
无需赘言，关于祂示现罗浮留下「建木」的神话，诸位卜者想必在黉学、在云骑军服役、在许多闲书里都曾读到过。那么本书便无需为此多留篇幅了。
In short, you diviners must have read about the myth of THEM manifesting aboard the Luofu to leave behind the Ambrosial Arbor. Perhaps you've heard about that while studying in the lyceum, serving in the Cloud Knights, or reading novels. There is no need for this book to devote pages to it.
需要再度向各位重申，任何以「寿瘟祸祖」本体为主方、占算其未来的行径都是不可饶恕的重罪。
It is worth reiterating to everyone once more that any action involving predicting the Plagues Author's fate are viewed as an unforgivable felony.
我明白，在修习卜筮之道的头一百年里，卜者总会堕入某种掌握知识的狂妄情绪中，自以为对命运有了掌控，自以为有通天彻地的能耐，妄想无视禁令对星神进行占卜，获取吉光片羽的秘密。对于其他星神，如此尝试或许可以睁一只眼，闭一只眼。但对药师，十王司颁布了禁令，违者视同触犯「不赦十恶」，须受重惩——当然，前提是你还能活着接受惩罚。
I know that diviners suffer from hubris during their first hundred years of practice, sinking into a form of madness gained from possessing extraordinary knowledge. They would believe they can now control destiny, that they literally have the power to decipher the entire world. They would be deluded to the point of ignoring the ban on running divinations on Aeons, and try learning the secrets of Auspice Sliver. A blind eye can be turned if a diviner tries to predict the fate of other Aeons. However, the Ten-Lords Commission has issued a ban on predicting Yaoshi's fate, listing it as a crime equal to the Ten Unpardonable Sins and promising strict punishment — that is, if you are even still alive after your transgression.
「寿瘟祸祖」是仙舟人转变为长生种的根源。因此吾等与药师之间存有某种无法廓清的超距作用。这种格物学尚不能解释的联系，可能是「魔阴身」产生的原因之一。而任何试图以占算手段窥视药师者，也将在这种作用下承受其反噬。所有类似行为都招致了惨烈的结果，这些记录在太卜司书库中「违命」一栏备有存档，请各位卜者好好审视。
The Plagues Author is the reason the Xianzhou natives became a long-life species. There is therefore some sort of undefinable and remote connection between us and Yaoshi. This kind of connection cannot yet be explained by physics, and may be one of the causes of mara. Moreover, anyone trying to peer at Yaoshi by means of divination will suffer a similar backlash. Every instance of such actions so far has led to tragic results. These records are filed away under "Violations" at the Divination Commission's repository. Diviners, please study them carefully.
【烬灭祸祖】
Ruin Author
「毁灭」命途之主，被反物质军团和泯灭帮称之为「纳努克」的破坏之神。
Ruler of the Path of Destruction. Known as Nanook, god of destruction, by the Antimatter Legion and Annihilation Gang.
虽然出现最晚，但纳努克及其爪牙已可称得上银河首恶了。相较于「寿瘟祸祖」治愈生命，招致变异与毁灭性的结果，烬灭祸祖带来的混乱更为直接，祂及其座下令使率领反物质军团侵攻一切存有文明的世界，将之化为灰烬。
Despite being the most recently ascended Aeon, Nanook and THEIR minions may already be considered the greatest menace in all the cosmos. In contrast to how the healing forces of the Plagues Author brought about mutation and destructive results, the Ruin Author causes chaos in a far more direct way. THEY and THEIR Emanators lead the Antimatter Legion on their march to invade all civilized worlds, turning these planets to ashes.
尽管联盟奉行帝弓诰谕，追逐「丰饶」的踪迹，猎杀失控的孽物，但联盟与烬灭军团的大小战斗记录已逾万条。斥候传回的情报中，开始频繁缺失某些曾与仙舟建立文明交流的星球近况。这一切令人心忧。也许在不久的未来，联盟所面对的大敌将不止孽物一种。
Despite following the Reignbow Arbiter's edict to hunt down Abundance and out-of-control abominations, the Alliance has also fought tens of thousands of skirmishes against the Legion. Our scout's reports begin to often lack news from planets that have established civil relations with the Xianzhou. All of this is drastically worrying. Perhaps, in the near future, the abominations won't be the only nemesis that Xianzhou has to face.
【螟蝗祸祖】
Swarm Author
「繁育」命途之主，被公司与其他受害世界称之为「塔伊兹育罗斯」的增殖之神。在某些世界，祂也被称为「虫皇」。
Ruler of the Path of Propagation. Known by the IPC and other victimized planets as Tayzzyronth, god of proliferation. Known on some worlds as the Imperator Insectorum.
即便虫皇逝去了如此之久，祂带给宇宙的恐怖与帝皇鲁珀特相比也不遑多让。仙舟抵达的许多世界中，丹鼎司都采集到了特殊的生物污染样本，那是被称为「繁育因子」的虫群衍变基因。博识学会的武装考古学士提供了更多的证据，那些被螟蝗祸祖虫巢化的群星已成为不可修复的恐怖地狱，最终只能以灭星武器永绝后患。
Despite the Imperator Insectorum's early demise, THEY've cast a shadow of terror on the universe no less than that of Emperor Rubert's. The Alchemy Commission has collected from many planets unique bio-contaminant samples, which are the swarm's evolved genes known as "propagation vector." The Armed Archaeologists from the Intelligentsia Guild have provided even more evidence that stars seeded by the Swarm Author have irreparably become literal hellscapes, and their only end lies in obliteration by star destroyer arsenals to prevent future danger.
按照他的说法，这样的恐怖并未消失，虫皇的遗孑尚在，而祂本尊也随时可能归来。这位学士曾向我展示过他的收藏，一枚黯淡昏黄的琥珀结晶，我自其中看到了翕动的斑点和嗡鸣的震颤。当他告诉我，这是「虫皇囚笼」的一部分时，我深感惊愕。额间的法眼无法看见关于此物的未来演变，从侧面佐证了学士的说法。我只能向帝弓默祷，这样的一天不会过早来临。
According to the scholar, such horrors have not completely disappeared. The Imperator Insectorum's descendants remain, and THEY could return at any moment. This scholar once showed me his collection — A dull yellow piece of amber with moving flecks and a buzzing tremor. I was absolutely gob-smacked to hear him say that it is part of the "Imperator Insectorum's Prison Cell." The omniscia implanted in my forehead could not see the future of this item, which only serves to corroborate the scholar's claims. All I can do is pray in silence to the Reignbow that such a day will not come soon.
