『 According to legend, a very, very long time ago, so ancient it traces back to the dawn of creation, there existed an inconceivable being. He resided at the end of the Sea.』
『 This existence was unimaginably powerful. His strength surpassed that of immortals countless times over; with a single thought, he could bring life to or extinguish the heavens, commanding the reincarnation of endless eras.』
『 He was indescribable, ineffable, inconceivable, unfathomable, unimaginable, impervious to prying eyes, beyond thought, and imperishable.』
『 Legend has it that he did not belong to the heavens, transcending the world itself, sitting cross-legged in that unknown Eternal Land beyond time, or sitting high at the source of the Great Dao, at the end of time, contemplating the unknown eternity!』
『 Yet, who was he? What was his name? Where did he come from? No one knew, and not a single soul could comprehend......』
『 And yet, even an existence such as this was defeated in the ultimate battle by our sect's first great ancestor, the 「Boundless Emperor」!!』
Noir smiled softly, her eyes serene, as she automatically ignored the final paragraph.
Just as Noir was about to flip to the next page of the 「Ancient History of the Boundless」 to pass the time......
Suddenly!
[ Ding ]
[ Integrating...]
[ Analyzing... Sea of Sacrifice, Sea of Destiny, Azure Heaven, Mountain Sea, Nortound...]
[ Integration successful!]
[ Ding! You have awakened the Simulator!]
"So there really is a cheat..." Noir murmured softly, letting out a gentle breath as she slowly closed the ancient history book.
In her mind, images from a year ago involuntarily surfaced.
...
It was the day of the talent awakening ceremony.
When Noir awakened, the pillars of heaven trembled, martial visions manifested in every direction, and the awakening pillar exploded on the spot.
Visions...?
To the east, a True Martial Dharma Image arose, its sword cleaving Yin and Yang to forge the Five Elements. To the west, the True Form of Buddha materialized, gazing toward the True Being of Infinite Longevity.
To the north, the projection of a God King emerged, suppressing demons and crushing the myriad races. To the south, a sage of the myriad races appeared, as the Divine Millstone ground across the nine heavens.
[ Phenomenal-Grade Vision ]!!!
An EX-grade talent awakener possessed the potential of an Emperor, invincible in this era, suppressing the myriad realms, and sweeping across the heavens!
But as fate would have it, just as the ceremony ended...
Eerie stars appeared in the sky, after which she inexplicably crossed over. When she woke up, she found herself in this vibrant world.
As for the reason...????.
The only certain thing was that she had awakened her talent: [ EX-Grade Talent - Replicate Upon Death ].
Replicate Upon Death: Upon death, allows the user to replicate the talent, constitution, and other traits of the killer.
Utterly speechless.....
Somewhat useful, but barely...!!
Thinking of this, a fire of frustration burned inside Noir's heart. She really couldn't fathom why she had crossed over.
The only good news was that a book had accompanied her crossover.
She had randomly acquired this book before crossing over.
However, it was merely a Wordless Scripture... with nothing but a good-looking cover.
As soon as she descended upon this world, she was taken in by the Sect Master of the Boundless Sword Sect, becoming an outer disciple. Her days had been utterly ordinary.
Until today, when she finally reached a turning point in her destiny.
Noir's heart skipped a beat. Taking a deep breath, she attempted to chant silently.....
"Simulator."
In the next moment, a translucent interface manifested out of thin air:
[ Life Simulator ]
[ Owner: Noir ]
[ Origin: None ]
[ Authority: Reborn ]
[ One free simulation available ]( One free simulation available per month )
[ Begin simulation? ]
[ Yes ][ No ]
Noir frowned slightly. Just as her finger was about to press "Yes", a sudden wave of inexplicable unease washed over her heart.
An indescribable sense of dread welled up within her.
Deep down, she seemed to hear a voice whispering: "Don't panic, look at that book first..."
Hmm... Let's take a look first then.
"Let's study this book first."
She picked up the book she carried with her and flipped to the first page. Her gaze instantly froze... Writing! Appearing out of thin air!
The handwriting was remarkably similar to hers, though it lacked a bit of softness!
And it was written with a fountain pen!
You see, on Nortound, all books and archives were written in Xucters script, mostly using calligraphy brushes. This sudden "sense of familiarity" made Noir's heart skip a beat, bringing back memories of her family on Blar (the planet of Noir's birth).
"My old bout of homesickness is acting up again...."
"What is going on?"
With a hint of curiosity, she continued to read, immediately spotting a line of text written on the first page.
[ Thank goodness, you foolish past self of mine, for opening this diary before starting the simulation. I have deduced that you only had a 50% chance of reading this diary first, and a 50% chance of starting the simulation directly. But the Lord is infinite; the unseen will of destiny shall decide all ]
"...Calling me foolish, of all things?"
Noir's lips twitched slightly, unable to resist complaining. But immediately afterward, her gaze turned solemn.
[ A brief introduction: No need to ask who I am, because I am you, and you are me.]
[ I am your future self! Or more accurately, the you who was not exiled from Blar!]
[ There are some things you do not need to know yet. You only need to remember one thing: you can never go back!]
[ Whether you believe me or not is up to you; I am merely offering you some advice.]
[ You also know that you have no other choice!]
It really is my handwriting....
Or perhaps, it was left behind by another "me."
She continued reading. In the subsequent pages, her future self had left behind the three most important matters.
[ First, "8 years... within eight years, you must find a way to escape the Mountain Sea Great World! This shouldn't be too difficult for you; having the Simulator, you can run a simulation once every six months."]
[ Second, if you encounter high-dimensional existences, you must stay far away! Any contact will bring great horror. If you meet one, stop the simulation immediately!]
[ Third, after reaching the ninth simulation, you must not continue! "Otherwise, you will not be able to bear the consequences!"]
[ Remember! Every single opportunity could be your last! "After nine simulations, you will be able to flip to the next page! Until we meet again, Noir!"]
[ If you fail to escape the Mountain Sea Great World within nine simulations, it means you have no destiny with the heavens.....]
The diary entry ended abruptly here....
Noir took a deep breath, unable to calm her racing thoughts.
Is this person really me....?
Noir maintained a skeptical attitude.
Forget it, no use overthinking. With a thought, Noir initiated the simulation!
[ Ding!]
[ Starting Simulation ]
[ Ding! As this is the first simulation, you can draw a talent for free ]
[ Beginning talent draw ]
[ Ding! As this is the first simulation, the talent pool has been upgraded by two grades, and the pool options have been doubled. The minimum quality that can be drawn is Blue ]
[ Ding! Since your Authority is Reborn, the talent pool's grade is increased by another two ranks ]
[ Currently, the minimum quality that can be drawn is Orange ]
( Grey, Green, Blue, Purple, Orange, Red, Gold, ?, ??, ???, ----- )
[ Ding! You have drawn ]
「 Carefree and Untethered - Red 」「 Immortal Dao Heart - Orange 」「 Heaven-Controlling Vial - Orange 」「 Nothing It Cannot Slash - Orange 」「 Profound Heaven Dao Body - Orange 」「 Born for the Dao - Gold 」
[ You may select one talent from among these ]
[ Carefree and Untethered - Red: Cultivating across the heavens, beholden to no Dao. Pay no respect to Heaven, bow to no Emperor. When traveling through the myriad worlds, you can ignore the pressure of the Boundary Sea and overlook Domain Lords. It shields you from all divine sense detection and deductions of heavenly secrets, and can be toggled on or off at will ]
[ Immortal Dao Heart - Orange: On the path of cultivation, one will grow weary and wish to give up. However, your thoughts will flow more freely, and your Dao heart will remain incredibly firm, believing that you are destined to be invincible in your era. You will face absolutely no bottlenecks prior to becoming an immortal, and your state of mind will be flawless after achieving immortality ]
[ Heaven-Controlling Vial - Orange: A deep green vial consisting of the vial body and the vial spirit. Originating from the first manifestation of the Heavenly Dao, it is the very first Profound Heaven object born of Chaos. It contains not only all the laws of the Heavenly Dao but also the remnants of Chaos, possessing the unbelievable ability to seize the fortune of heaven and earth. ]
[ Nothing It Cannot Slash - Orange: At the brink of death, you can trigger a single full-power strike of the fourth tier peak (Quasi-Red Dust Immortal), manifesting in the form of the Law of the Sword ]
[ Profound Heaven Dao Body - Orange: A supreme cultivation constitution capable of deducing the Three Teachings. As the Origin Physique of the Profound Heaven Great World, if you achieve enlightenment in the lands of the Profound Heaven Great World, this physique is comparable to the Chaos Physique. Your cultivation speed will be multiplied a hundredfold, and you can comprehend the Origin of the Profound Heaven Great World, merging your body with the Dao to become the Will of the Profound Heaven ]
[ Born for the Dao - Gold: Talent unparalleled across the ages, born to cultivate and destined for tribulation. Your life shall reach the pinnacle of glory, forging endless legends. ]
An invincible start, actually rolling a Gold right off the bat!
As for this Reborn Authority... Noir didn't overthink it. What would come, would come.
Finally, she could activate cheats to level up....
[ Ding!]
[ Ding! You have selected the talent: 「 Born for the Dao - Gold 」]
[ Talent selection complete, starting simulation!]
The translucent simulation interface vibrated slightly, and lines of text began to surface:
[ Life Simulation Begins ]
[ Day 1: You find that your diary cannot be opened. No matter how you try, you cannot flip a single page. But you do not care too much; after all, you are exhausted today, so you simply fall fast asleep. ]
[ Day 2: Upon waking up, you constantly feel that you are different from yesterday, yet you cannot say what has changed. ]
[ Whether the world has changed, or your heart has changed, an inexplicable peculiarity lingers in your mind. ]
[ Day 3: You inadvertently discover that your memory has become extraordinary. Every written word you have seen and every spoken word you have heard can be recalled clearly, photographic memory! ]
[ You begin attempting to read the sect archives, finding that no matter how complex the Daoist methods are, you can memorize them perfectly after just one glance. Perhaps you were born for the Dao, destined for this very world. ]
[ Day 7: You realize that your luck lately seems a bit too good, cultivation goes smoothly, and everything you encounter takes a turn for the better. ]
[ Even the daily sect resources you receive are much more bountiful than in the past. ]
[ Standing before the Scripture Pavilion, you contemplate all these changes. Today marks exactly one year since you officially joined the sect and became a Boundless Sword Sect outer disciple! According to the sect rules, you are permitted to freely select one cultivation technique from the first floor of the Scripture Pavilion to practice. ]
[ Strolling into the Scripture Pavilion, you see rows of neatly arranged bookshelves. The sheer variety of cultivation techniques and secret manuals makes it difficult for you to choose. ]
[ Just as your gaze wanders, a worn-out book suddenly catches your attention. It is completely out of place among the surrounding ancient volumes, clearly far more damaged than the other books]
[ You reach out to take it down. The moment you flip open the cover, your entire being is instantly shaken to the core! ]
[ The writing on this book is actually in Sipelse script! ]
[ On Nortound, all books are written in Xucters script, yet you have actually found a book written in Sipelse script within the Scripture Pavilion! ]
[ Instantly, your heart races wildly, and countless possibilities flash through your mind. Could this book be a relic left behind by another transmigrator? ]
[ Or is it a backup plan left behind by my Blar self mentioned in the diary? ]
[ Slowly flipping open the pages, three bold and vigorous characters leap into view: " Formless Bodhi Art ". ]
[ Your heart shakes violently. Without a shred of hesitation, you make your decision: this is the one! ]
[ Clutching the book, you prepare to leave, but as you pass by the Scripture Pavilion Elder, you are stopped by him. ]
[ The Scripture Pavilion Elder's gaze falls upon the ancient book in your hands. Frowning slightly, his voice deepens as he speaks: "Kid, are you sure you want to choose this book?" ]
[ You nod: "Elder, my mind is made up." ]
[ The elder casts a complicated look at you and sighs softly: "This book is written in ancient Daoist glyphs. Do you know its true origin?" ]
[ Your eyes flicker slightly, but you do not reply, only firmly clutching the book in your arms. ]
[ Seeing this, the elder says no more. Reaching into his sleeve, he pulls out another ancient volume and hands it to you: "Since you have chosen it, take this " Formed Primordial Scripture " with you as well. Perhaps it will help you understand." ]
[ You receive the ancient volume, "Many thanks for the book, Elder." ]
[ You look down and see that this " Formed Primordial Scripture " is likewise written in Sipelse script. ]
[ Day 20: You have completely initiated both of these cultivation techniques. ]
[ You discover that of these two techniques, the " Formless Bodhi Art " cultivates the body within, while the " Formed Primordial Scripture " cultivates the spirit. The two merge as one, seamlessly connecting; one dynamic, one serene, combining as naturally as breathing! ]
[ Achieving initiation in the Formless Bodhi Art immediately brings you to the Innate realm! You break through to Innate! ]
[ Bypassing the stage of accumulating inner force, you leap ahead to become the fastest disciple to step into the Innate realm in the hundreds of years of the Boundless Sword Sect's history. ]
[ The sect's higher-ups are shocked. The Sect Master personally summons you, concluding that you are the reincarnation of an ancient immortal sage, and personally crowns you as the Sword Maiden! ]
[ No one within the Boundless Sword Sect objects to your status as the Sword Successor. Everyone is certain that your future achievements will surely be extraordinary! ]
[ After all, your talent is unparalleled, and your beauty is like that of a banished immortal]
[ Month 8: You step into the Heavenly realm, becoming the youngest Heavenly Adept in the history of Nortound! ]
[ The Boundless Sect Master has gone wild, constantly saying these past few days: "Our sect's Noir has the potential of an Emperor! One day, she too shall achieve boundless supreme freedom!" ]
[ The Sect Master seemed to have something he wanted to tell you.... ]
[ But right at this moment, a drastic change occurs in heaven and earth! ]
[ In the sky, thunderclouds roll and churning lightning converges. A heavenly tribulation actually descends! ]
[ The higher-ups of the Boundless Sword Sect are all terrified; they have never witnessed such an omen before ]
[ You, on the other hand, look up blankly, staring in disbelief at that sea of lightning, the Six-Nine Heavenly Tribulation!! ]
[ Ancient texts record that only the sages of ancient times could trigger a lightning tribulation upon reaching the Heavenly realm. ]
[ Yet yours is no ordinary lightning tribulation, but a Heavenly Dao Tribulation! ]
[ Perhaps you are incompatible with the Heavenly Dao..... ]
[ The Sect Master's expression turns grave, and he suddenly roars: "Heaven is jealous of unparalleled genius! Noir's talent is far too monstrous, triggering Heavenly Punishment! ]
[ Our Boundless Sword Sect absolutely cannot allow you to perish here!" ]
[ The Sect Master, with his cultivation of the ninth-fold Heavenly realm Great Perfection, erupts with power, forcibly blocking the heavenly tribulation! ]
[ BOOM.....! ]
[ The Sect Master dies ]
[ The Grand Elder dies ]
[ The Third Senior Brother dies ]
[ The members of the Boundless Sword Sect defend you to the death, ultimately allowing you to survive the heavenly tribulation completely unscathed. ]
[ However, the sect has suffered devastating losses, with countless disciples slain, and the entire sect virtually reduced to ashes. ]
[ You are plunged into profound grief....]
[ From this very moment, your state of mind changes ]
[ Standing amidst the crumbling ruins, your heart is filled with ultimate sorrow. ]
[ You recall the Sect Master's kindness. When you first crossed over, he saved your life; now, for your sake, he sacrificed his own... ]
[ Looking at the devastated ruins of the sect, you grit your teeth and slowly kneel on the ground, swearing to the heavens: "If one day I become a Venerable or an Emperor, I will reverse Samsara and rebuild the Boundless Sword Sect. Otherwise, my Dao heart shall never know peace in this lifetime!" ]
[ You bury the dead and set off on your travels across Nortound... ]
[ Month 9: You hear rumors in a teahouse that the Boundless Sword Sect has been completely destroyed, and all survivors have been slaughtered. Moreover... it was reportedly done by the newly appointed Sword Maiden?! ]
[ Anger boils in your chest, and killing intent surges! ]
[ You restrain yourself... ]
[ If you were to incur boundless negative karma, inner demons would surely arise! ]
[ Year 1: Your cultivation speed decreases noticeably, far slower than before. ]
[ You surmise that it is likely a problem with your Dao heart... ]
[ Year 1, Month 8: You meet a young girl. Seeing that she is all alone in the world, you take her in as your maidservant. ]
[ Year 2, end of the year: You remain stuck at the Spirit Refining stage of the Heavenly realm, unable to break through from beginning to end! ]
[ Year 3: You still make no progress. ]
[ Your Dao heart is obstructed... ]
[ Year 3, Month 7: Your maidservant, Ultima, whom you took in back then, disappears inexplicably, leaving you puzzled. ]
[ A day later, you find that Ultima died in an attack by a wolf pack. Even in death, she was still protecting the wild fruits she had gathered for you in her basket.... ]
[ You feel as though you are someone who brings misfortune to others. ]
[ Year 4: On your cultivation journey, you encounter an old Daoist priest. He seems to see right through your plight, chuckling as he says: "The Primordial Beginning of the Dao is void, is nothingness. Why must a person be bound by obsession throughout their life?" ]
[ The Dao follows nature: what can be achieved will naturally be achieved; what cannot be achieved will naturally not be achieved ]
[ Why bother, and what of it? ]
[ The most important thing is to have a clear conscience..... ]
[ When you are weak, everything is destined; when you are strong, everything has its reason... ]
[ You seem to have gained some enlightenment... ]
[ You wander through mortal lands, visiting mountains with the aura of cultivators, and temples of Daoist priests. ]
[ Drifting with the flow, letting nature take its course, you gain new insights into your own Dao. ]
[ You now have no lingering attachments in this world, fully dedicating yourself to the Dao, roaming through ancient and modern times across unknown eras! ]
[ Your mind becomes completely clear, and you step into the Supreme Realm! Opening a world of your own within your body! ]
[ In the same year, you step into an unprecedented realm. " Formless Bodhi Art " and " Formed Primordial Scripture " completely fuse in your mind, ultimately evolving into the " Void Scripture "! ]
[ Year 6: You cultivate to the peak of the Divility realm. Currently, your only bottleneck is ascension. ]
[ Not a single soul on the entire Nortound has ascended in a thousand years, let alone a cultivator of your youth stepping into the Divility realm. ]
[ You travel to the South Sea to undergo your tribulation, hoping to find an opportunity for a breakthrough. ]
[ Just as the heavenly tribulation descends, in your perception, an invisible shackle seems to have appeared between heaven and earth, and a sense of extreme disharmony surges in your mind. ]
[ The peak of the Divility realm is the absolute limit of this world. To take another step forward, you can only ascend to the Upper Realm! ]
[ Ascension is the ultimate truth of the universe, the doctrine of supreme freedom, sought after by countless people from ancient times to the present. Some seek ascension to the Upper Realm, some seek ascension to the Immortal Realm, and some seek ascension to the Supreme Realm. ]
[ On the path of ascension, you observe the laws of the universe, using the Void Scripture to comprehend the Great Dao and attain unbound enlightenment. The heaven and earth of this lower world are fragmented; no wonder the experts who cultivated to the peak could never take another step forward. ]
[ You enter the Mountain Sea Great World. Baptized by the laws of heaven and earth, you perfect your own path, and your foundation deepens further! ]
[ You break through to the Four Images realm on the spot, undergoing a complete transformation as your cultivation surges! ]
[ In the same year, you accidentally discover an ancient cave dwelling. Within it, a mural is preserved, inscribed with ancient runes detailing how the ancient ancestors fought against "the eerie." ]
[ You gaze at the mural ]
[ You fall into a state of sudden enlightenment. A long-lost supreme body-refinement technique slowly surfaces in your mind: the " Nine Star Hegemon Body Art "! ]
[ Year 7: You rise to prominence in the Mountain Sea Great World, challenging various geniuses along the way. Relying on the supreme mystery of the " Void Scripture ", you remain invincible in your realm! ]
[ You cross two major realms to slay a Great Completion God-King! ]
[ You casually slap a Minor Completion Divine Body to death, only to find out that he was the young master of a great clan! ]
[ You are hunted by a joint force of two great clans ]
[ Drawing inspiration from the four ancient Sacred Clans, you condense the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise into four great dharma avatars, materializing them from void to solid. Breaking through to the Divine Bridge realm, you shatter the age-old records of the Mountain Sea Great World to become the youngest Divine Domain expert in history! ]
[ Born for the Dao, you are naturally close to it, embodying endless subtle meanings. ]
[ You form a Dao Embryo within your body, and even refine a wisp of Primordial Qi ]
[ Shaking the ages, you have actually cultivated a Primordial Dao Body. One must know that even Ancient Great Emperors could only barely condense an Acquired Embryo in their twilight years ]
[ Year 8: You are falsely accused by the Myriad Phenomena Sacred Land of stealing their supreme emperor art. They dispatch a Law Enforcement Elder to capture you. ]
[ You laugh it off without saying a word. Reaching out, you crush a Nirvana realm Elder of the Sacred Land with your bare hands! ]
[ This act shocks the entire Mountain Sea Great World! ]
[ The Myriad Phenomena Sacred Land is furious and issues a kill order. Your wanted posters spread across the Mountain Sea, with everyone eager to rid the world of you! ]
[ You begin fleeing to the ends of the earth. The journey is extremely perilous, with several near-death experiences where you almost perish. ]
[ In the same year, a bizarre anomaly occurs in the Mountain Sea Great World. Overnight, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth inexplicably vanishes, not a single drop remaining! ]
[ This is an unprecedented anomaly; ordinary cultivators find it difficult to survive, and only those who have achieved godhood can guard their own Dantians to barely sustain themselves. Yet, the path of cultivation ahead is completely blocked, the divine passes fall, and the eerie descends! ]
[ All the major Sacred Lands and clans are forced to unite, establishing the "Mountain Sea Alliance" in a bid to fight against the eerie. ]
[ Casting aside past grievances, you join forces with other factions to face the enemy, personally going to the front lines and engaging in continuous bloody battles! ]
[ Year 9: You reach the Great Perfection of the Divine Bridge. Undergoing the God-King tribulation, you easily overcome the Thirty-Three-fold God-King Tribulation. Your name is deeply engraved in the first place on the Eternal God-King Monument ]
[ Breaking through to the God-King realm and achieving Divine Domain Great Completion, you become the leader of the new generation, commanding the Mountain Sea Alliance to resist the invasion of the eerie! ]
[ However, the spiritual energy of the entire world is completely depleted. Practitioners find it extremely difficult to advance their realms, and all hope seems to be suppressed in the endless darkness. ]
[ Heaven and earth are depleted, yet the Great Dao remains. Born for tribulation, you are unparalleled in your cultivation ]
[ You comprehend the meaning of life, death, and reincarnation, consolidating your foundation. ]
[ Year 10: In battle, you discover the extraordinary nature of the " Nine Star Hegemon Body Art "! ]
[ This method does not rely on the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and can even harness the power of the eerie to feed back into oneself, allowing the physical body to continuously undergo transformation. You instantly perceive the opportunity within this! ]
[ You begin to widely spread this method, allowing even mortal cultivators to practice it. The pressure on the front lines is suddenly reduced, and many cultivators achieve breakthroughs with this technique, gradually stabilizing the war. ]
[ Year 12: You use the Hegemon Body Art to charge into the Nirvana realm. Your physical body undergoes a transformation, and you reach the Great Perfection of the God-King realm, achieving Great Completion in both! ]
[ But at the same time, the situation on the front lines turns tense once more. The Quasi-Emperor ancestors of the Mountain Sea Great World gradually grow desperate and begin plotting to escape this world. ]
[ Rumor has it that since ancient times, powerful figures have sneaked away through secret ascensions one after another, this could not be more common, ]
[ There are whisperings that six years ago, before the eerie laid its eyes upon the world, a powerful figure calculated everything and made an early escape! ]
[ Year 14: The eerie army completely seals off the Mountain Sea Great World, cutting off all paths of retreat! ]
[ Fighting to this point, all cultivators have no way to retreat! ]
[ Fighting to the death actually causes morale to surge like never before. The allied forces of the Mountain Sea Alliance give their all, swearing to risk everything in a final gamble! ]
[ The Quasi-Emperor ancestors of the Four Great Sacred Lands all station themselves at the front lines, swearing to resist the eerie invasion to their last breath. ]
[ In the same year, the "Heavenly Deduction Sect," an immortal power of the Mountain Sea Great World, exhausts the strength of their entire sect to deduce the heavenly secrets, obtaining the final prophecy: ]
[ "The sole life-line of the Mountain Sea Great World lies within ten years: if someone can ascend to the Immortal Realm and open the sealed path to the Immortal Realm, they can guide a True Immortal to descend and eradicate the eerie!" ]
[ This prophecy plunges all cultivators into despair: ascend to the Immortal Realm? ]
[ The Mountain Sea Great World has not produced a Great Emperor in thirty thousand years, and the last Emperor to truly ascend was Heavenly Emperor Lindi, eight hundred thousand years ago! ]
[ Year 20: The eerie calamity grows even more terrifying, and the front lines are in imminent danger. Swarm Great Emperors suddenly appear, as many as three of them! ]
[ You comprehend the myriad realms, the heavens, and the majestic sea.... ]
[ You seek to comprehend the Great Dao of the heavens in search of an opportunity for ascension. Yet, you know clearly in your heart that your path of cultivation has been far too smooth; if you do not experience a true Nirvana, it will be difficult to comprehend the path of transcendence! ]
[ You make your decision: dispersing all your cultivation, undergoing spiritual dissolution to become mortal once more! ]
[ Rebuilding your cultivation system, you pioneer a brand-new path, using the body as the Dharma Image, employing the Formless Method, and establishing the Formed Realm, Formless Realm, Void Realm, and Immortal Form Realm! ]
[ In this process, you self-create a supreme manual: the " Desolation Void Scripture "! ]
[ You discover that the Nine Star Hegemon Body Art is merely a fragmented version or has reached a dead end; you are actually unable to practice it, and even reject it slightly ]
[ With a mortal body, you enter the God-King realm in seven days, step into the peak of Quasi-Emperor in forty-nine days, and on the fiftieth day, achieve the Dao and become an Emperor! ]
[ As the Heavenly Emperor, you shall suppress all enemies in the world! ]
[ Year 21: You reach the peak of the Void Realm, half-stepping into the Immortal Form Realm, and find the opportunity for ascension! ]
[ Channeling the worldly power of the Immortal Realm, you unleash three sword strikes. ]
[ The first sword cleaves through the eerie barrier, connecting the myriad heavens! ]
[ The second sword obliterates the source of the eerie, wiping them out completely! ]
[ The third sword recreates the laws of heaven and earth, restoring the spiritual energy! ]
[ Stepping upon the river of stars, you break through the world barrier and ascend to the Immortal Realm! ]
[ With a resolute gaze, you murmur to yourself: "Since I have already stood here, then... onward." ]
[ Bathed in immortal light, you slowly open your eyes. Your divine sense sweeps out, confirming that this place is indeed the Immortal Realm recorded in the ancient texts. The space between heaven and earth is filled with dense immortal Qi, the laws are perfect, truly the legendary immortal realm... ]
[ However, at this very moment, a sudden attack tears through the air and strikes! ]
[ "Die!" ]
[ A man charges out from the void, with vast demonic Qi and an unparalleled demonic body, completely distinct from the surrounding Immortal Qi ]
[ You are startled in your heart; this person is a demon! ]
[ However, compared to your current self, his strength is nothing but a firefly's light. Having stepped into the Immortal Form Realm, you can stand on par with a half-step Red Dust Immortal; with a casual wave of your hand, you instantly cut him down! ]
[ In that person's storage space, you find an immortal plaque: Guardian of Red Pearl, Underworld Soil! ]
[ You do not think too much of it, continuing onward ]
[ Traveling along, the heaven and earth are incredibly vast. You fly for about three hundred years, yet still see no signs of human habitation, and even living creatures are extremely scarce! ]
[ You suspect this place might be some forbidden zone of the Immortal Realm. ]
[ You call it flying... but in truth, you are constantly utilizing the laws of space to fold space, while also using the laws of time to accelerate your movement speed. ]
[ 580 years later, you finally arrive at the first Immortal City of the Immortal Realm. Before you, a colossal Immortal City stands towering, like an Immortal Palace at the pinnacle of heaven and earth, radiating infinite divine glow. ]
[ You sigh with emotion; the Immortal path knows no years, for simply traveling to a single Immortal City has taken over five hundred years. ]
[ The vastness of this heaven and earth is truly endless..... ]
[ However, just as you are about to step into the Immortal City, the grand array within suddenly activates. Several True Immortals soar into the air, charging straight toward you with faces full of killing intent! ]
[ You frown slightly. It makes no sense; why does the Immortal City treat you as an enemy? ]
[ Could it be because I am not a native? ]
[ Unwilling to confront the Immortal City head-on, you decisively flee. ]
[ At 510,000 years, a single retreat of yours sees several hundred thousand years pass. Currently, you have reached the Great Perfection of the Immortal Form Realm, officially entering the Red Dust Immortal realm! ]
[ However, a slight sense of disharmony still lingers in your heart. For some unknown reason, you always feel that the entire Immortal Realm is extremely hostile toward you. ]
[ You begin to truly introspect, trying to search for a trace of anomaly... ]
// Double em-dash removed
[ At 600,000 years, you still have not discovered anything; everything seems normal. ]
[ You self-create the I-Transformation Great Method: I transform freedom, I transform eternity, I transform the years, I transform Samsara, I transform true spirits, I transform the eerie, I transform the four images, I transform the five elements, I transform the Swarm, I transform the heavens! ]
[ At 700,000 years, you still gain nothing. ]
[ Referencing the Nine Star Hegemon Body Art, you self-create a technique capable of devouring the eerie, growing stronger as you fight, ultimately able to condense the Formless Immortal Body. ]
[ You cast a net across the myriad heavens and worlds, leaving behind countless inheritances. ]
[ You cultivate the Boundless Profound Immortal Body and the I-Transformation Ultimate Realm. ]
[ After 2,220,000 years, you seem to sense that something is wrong! Your path of cultivation seems to have entered some sort of extreme; or perhaps, the laws of heaven and earth in the Immortal Realm are completely different from those of the Mountain Sea Great World, causing the cultivation path you pioneered to be incompatible with this world. ]
[ After all, the method of using the body as the Dharma Image emphasizes the cultivation of the fusion between the physical body and the primordial spirit, bringing both mind and power into a state of balance. ]
[ You begin to recall all your experiences since ascending, and you understand... ]
[ Your Dao fortune is continuously drifting away... Is it perhaps being plundered by someone else?... ]
[ You self-create the Great Fortune Technique.... ]
[ No one in the Red Dust Immortal realm is your opponent; you can even battle a Quasi-Immortal King ]
[ You decide to enter seclusion ]
[ 10,810,000 years later, you break through to the Quasi-Immortal King realm, achieving a supreme method, I transform the myriad heavens and realms, ]
[ You roam through ancient and modern Samsara; even against a true Immortal King, you can battle! ]
[ 50,000,000 years later, you step into the Immortal City once more, only to find that this time, the Immortals no longer harbor any hostility toward you. ]
[ Your heart stirs as you enter the Immortal City. However, you quickly detect an even stranger thing: whether they are mortals or Immortals, as soon as they see you, they immediately kneel and worship you! ]
[ You attempt to restrain your cultivation, even suppressing your aura to that of a mortal. But even so, still no one dares to look you in the eye; they kneel and worship the moment they see you, their faces filled with terror. ]
[ You do not know why, but you actually feel a cold shiver down your spine... ]
[ You follow the yellow-robed Immortal King to fight the eerie, possessing an invincible posture ]
[ Cultivation knows no years. One hundred million years later ]
[ You open the 5D Domain, "Look Up and Behold the Divine"! ]
[ At this moment, you step into the Immortal King realm, completely transcending all living beings in the Immortal Realm! ]
[ Everyone who meets you performs the kneeling ritual. ]
[ Even those who are fellow Immortal Kings perform the kneeling ritual! ]
[ You are the King of Kings, and all living beings call you the 「 Formless True King 」 ]
[ You fight across the heavens and completely eradicate the eerie. From then on, the heavens are all Pure Lands! ]
[ Until one day, while your divine sense roams the heavens, you occasionally encounter a youth. ]
[ This youth is highly special. When you gaze at his past, you see no shadow of him; when you look through his future, you see no sign of him: as if he only exists in this life. Furthermore, he has actually never knelt before you! ]
[ Landing beside the youth, you frown slightly and ask: "Why do you see the King but not bow? Are you not afraid that your true destiny is lost?" ]
[ The youth's face is filled with terror, his entire body trembling as he stammers in fear: "You... you... tiger... there is a bug here..." ]
[ From the youth's eyes, you see a creepy image ]
[ A bug is here! ]
[ A ghost is here! ]
[ In his eyes, you are actually a bug?! ]
[ Why is there a bug here? ]
[ You frown slightly, inspecting yourself. In your perception, everything is completely normal! ]
[ The youth's voice trembles as he stammers in dread: "The biggest bug... is you... how can you not know?..." ]
[ You dismiss it with disdain; your Dao heart is incredibly stable. ]
[ Gazing at the youth, your kingly voice echoes: "Why do you say such things?" ]
[ The youth's eyes widen, his lips pulling into a terrified grin as he says: "You have never truly seen yourself clearly..." ]
[ You say in a deep voice: "Do you even know what you are saying?" ]
[ "In my hometown, there is a parable." ]
[ The youth slowly recounts a story about the people in a cave, who from birth have never seen the real world...... seeing only the projections of shadows, they believe those shadows are the vastness of the world, utterly unaware that everything is an illusion.... ]
[ You are slightly shaken, your expression changing drastically as you fall into deep thought for a long time ]
[ Is that how it is? ]
[ You close your eyes and focus, sinking your divine sense into your own foundation... ]
[ "So that is how it is..." ]
[ "So that is how it is!!!" ]
[ You let out a heart-wrenching roar to the heavens, shaking the entire Immortal Realm. ]
[ Cultivating the Dao, cultivating the Heavenly Dao, cultivating the invincible Dao... only to end up cultivating oneself into a bug in the end ]
[ "What kind of thing am I? Was I always like this, or did I turn into this?" ]
[ You retreat step by step, "What... am I, in the end?" ]
[ "I was born for the Dao, destined for tribulation, a lifetime of glory, forging endless legends..." ]
[ "But... whose tribulation did I actually answer?" ]
[ You laugh madly, going insane, as your madness transforms into terrifying, boundless killing intent! ]
[ You slaughter the entire Immortal Realm and the three thousand great worlds. Whichever world is tainted by those "things," you completely destroy them all! ]
[ Comprehending the Dao heart of all things, you awaken to your true self and completely understand your own being. Your Immortal King Dao Fruit progresses a step further, achieving the unimaginable...! ]
[ "What a pity, everything is too late." You feel no joy because of this breakthrough...! ]
[ You return to the Nortound, discovering that this place has actually not been infected, remaining one of the last surviving Pure Lands. ]
[ Returning to the Boundless Peak, you find that it has actually become a cultivation Sacred Land.... ]
[ Reversing time, you find the resting place of the Boundless Sect Master and his people, sincerely praying for them.... ]
[ Samsara is destroyed, and the worlds no longer exist. Can they truly rest? Have they ever rested? ]
[ Gathering the Pure Lands together, with a single sword strike, you sever their connection to the myriad heavens! ]
[ Then, you look at your own Dao foundation. ]
[ Letting out a soft laugh, you say: "It has completely solidified. The bug, destiny, Dao, and law are completely interwoven, with the bug holding dominion; it can no longer be changed." ]
[ You look toward the distant Sea, your lips curving into a peculiar smile: "This time... I am leaving." ]
[ "No need to trouble you to do it yourself." ]
[ You completely dissipate...... ]
[ Ding! Simulation complete! ]
