  1. 那混乱的年代

    In that chaotic era,

  2. 朝廷太腐败

    The court was far too corrupt.

  3. 人祸惹天灾

    Man-made disasters brought forth calamities.

  4. 东汉王朝在一夕之间崩坯兴衰

    The Eastern Han dynasty fell and rose in a single night.

  5. 九州地图被人们切割成三块 分开

    The map of the Nine Provinces has been torn into three pieces, separated.

  6. 读三国历史的兴衰

    Reading about the rise and fall of the Three Kingdoms,

  7. 想去瞧个明白

    I want to take a clearer look.

  8. 看看看就马上回来

    Just a glance and I'll be right back.

  1. 刀剑棍棒 我随口讲

    Swords and sticks, I speak of them at will.

  2. 原来真有时光机这么夸张

    Turns out there really is a time machine, it's so surreal.

  3. 穿梭时空过 又嚣张

    Through time and space, I traverse, so bold,

  4. 万一有去无回怎么办

    What if there's no return, what should I do?

  5. 老实说有点紧张 啊 啊

    To be honest, I'm a bit nervous, ah, ah.

  6. 江山我站在云端

    I stand atop the world, high in the clouds,

  7. 慢慢 往中原方向

    Slowly heading towards the plains,

  8. 前方 散落着村庄

    Ahead, villages scatter along the way.

  9. 长安 在兵荒马乱

    Chang'an, amidst chaos and turmoil,

  10. 望着天眼看北斗七星坠入地平线

    Looking to the sky, I see the Big Dipper sink below the horizon.

  11. 瞬间 英雄豪杰犹如鬼魅般地出现

    In an instant, heroes and legends emerge like ghosts,

  12. 我呸谁也不服谁我是龟你是鳖

    I scoff, I bow to no one; I'm the turtle, you're the tortoise.

  13. 啦啦啦啦啦 啦啦啦

    La la la la la, la la la

  14. 妖兽扰乱人间秩序

    Monsters disrupt the order of the world

  15. 血腥如浪潮般来袭

    Bloody like a tide crashing in

  16. 我小命差点没续集

    My life almost didn't have a sequel

  17. 还好有时光机我谢谢你

    Fortunately, there's a time machine, I thank you

  18. 人魔开始重出地狱

    Demons are rising from Hell once more

  19. 叛军如野火般攻击

    Rebels attack like wildfire

  20. 五官差点离开身体

    Facial features almost left my body

  21. 还好有时光机我谢谢你

    Fortunately, there's a time machine, I thank you

  22. 曹魏枭雄在 蜀汉多人才

    Cao Wei's heroes in Shu Han, so many talents

  23. 东吴将士怪 七星连环散

    The warriors of Dongwu are perplexed, the Seven Stars in disarray,

  24. 诸葛亮的天命不来

    Zhuge Liang's destined glory hasn't arrived,

  25. 这些书都有记载

    These ancient texts all bear witness,

  26. 不是我在乱掰

    It's not me just rambling aimlessly,

  27. 等到东方鱼肚白

    When dawn breaks in the east's embrace,

  28. 我再来跟你说嗨

    I'll come back to say hi to you,

  29. 嘴里有刀 说破歌谣

    With a tongue like a blade, unraveling the ballads,

  30. 千年恩怨 一笔勾销

    A thousand years of ties, erased in a stroke,

  31. 生命潦草 我在弯腰

    Life is hasty, I'm bending down,

  32. 历史轮回 转身忘掉

    History circles around, and I turn to forget.

  33. 黄巾贼 你不要吵我

    Yellow Turban bandit, don't disturb me

  34. 咱姥姥和水擀面条

    Our grandma rolls out the noodles by hand

  35. 放下刀 若想吃饱

    Put down the knife if you want to eat well

  36. 去找皇帝老爷讨

    Go seek the emperor for your fill

  37. 黄巾贼 你不要闹我

    Yellow Turban bandit, don't make a fuss

  38. 咱姥姥烧柴煮水饺

    Our grandma gathers firewood to cook dumplings

  39. 放下刀 若想吃饱

    Put down the knife if you want to eat well

  40. 去找皇帝老爷讨

    Go seek the emperor for your fill

  41. 妖兽扰乱人间秩序

    Monstrous beasts disrupt the order of the world

  42. 血腥如浪潮般来袭

    Blood flows in waves, crashing in

  43. 我小命差点没续集

    I nearly didn't survive this round,

  44. 还好有时光机我谢谢你

    Thank goodness for the time machine, I'm grateful to you.

  45. 人魔开始重出地狱

    The demons are starting to emerge from hell,

  46. 叛军如野火般攻击

    The rebels attack like wildfire,

  47. 五官差点离开身体

    My senses nearly left my body,

  48. 还好有时光机我谢谢你

    Thank goodness for the time machine, I'm grateful to you.

  49. 妖兽扰乱人间秩序

    Monstrous beasts disturb the order of the world,

  50. 血腥如浪潮般来袭

    Blood spills like a tidal wave approaching,

  51. 我小命差点没续集

    I nearly didn't survive this round,

  52. 还好有时光机我谢谢你

    Thank goodness for the time machine, I'm grateful to you.

  53. 人魔开始重出地狱

    The demons rise again from hell,

  54. 叛军如野火般攻击

    The rebels attack like wildfires,

  55. 五官差点离开身体

    My senses nearly left my body,

  56. 还好有时光机我谢谢你

    Thank goodness for the time machine, I owe you one,

  57. 妖兽扰乱人间秩序

    Monsters disrupt the order of the world,

  58. 血腥如浪潮般来袭

    Bloodshed crashes in like waves,

  59. 我小命差点没续集

    My little life almost didn't get a sequel,

  60. 还好有时光机我谢谢你

    Thank goodness for the time machine, I owe you one,

  61. 嘴里有刀 说破歌谣

    With knives in my mouth, I speak the ballad,

  62. 嘴里有刀 说破歌谣

    With knives in my mouth, I speak the ballad.

  63. 千年恩怨 一笔勾销

    A thousand years of grudges, all wiped away,
