Chapter 48 - Chapter 47: Myriad Poison Arts, Simulation Ends

[When you heard the name, Gu Changsheng, an emotion that had been suppressed for who knows how many years gradually began to rise, but you didn't let it control you and suppressed it deep within yourself.]

[Right now, without beating around the bush, you directly got to the point and asked him his reason for visiting.]

[Hearing his answer, your anger only grew. He said: "I came here to propose marriage and make your daughter, Lin Wanqing, my wife."]

[Hearing his words, you directly sent orders to open the Formation, close the entire Holy Land to the outside world, and attacked him.]

[Right now, you didn't want to think of anything else. You just wanted to destroy the Gu Family.]

[In these years, your cultivation had reached the Mid-stage of God-Transformation Realm and you had also comprehended the Sword Law to the 10th Level.]

[All your other time was dedicated to comprehending the Righteous Intent.]

[Compared to you.]

[The Ancestor of the Gu Family, Gu Changsheng, only had the strength of the Fusion Realm, which you could normally kill with just a strike of your sword.]

[But he was different. Not only did he match your strength, but he also overpowered you, which surprised you greatly. You knew that this guy must also have had a great opportunity in these years, and this Fusion Realm wasn't something cultivated by relying on pills, but was the reward of pure hard work.]

[Seeing that you were being suppressed, many elders and even the Deputy Holy Lord joined you in this fight, but it was of no use. You were all still being suppressed by him.]

[At this moment, an ancient force appeared from the deepest part of the Holy-Sword Sect, aiming to crush Gu Changsheng with a single strike. But before it could harm Gu Changsheng, you found that Gu Changsheng had escaped. No one knew how.]

[You looked around and found that the entire back mountain of the Holy-Sword Sect had been destroyed.]

[At first, you had thought that you could subdue him with just one attack, so you attacked him. But after witnessing his overwhelming strength, you decided to lure him into the back mountain. Otherwise, this fight may have destroyed half of the entire Holy-Sword Sect. Still, the battle caused considerable damage to the Holy-Sword Sect.]

[And this was all because of your timely thought. Otherwise, the damage caused to the Holy-Sword Sect would have been greater.]

[The good thing was that no one died during the fight. This meant that Gu Changsheng was also struggling while fighting you all.]

[In this year, you destroyed the cultivation of every member of the Gu Family within the Holy-Sword Sect and captured them alive.]

[You thought that capturing them was best, because if Gu Changsheng ever attacked in the future, his first priority would be to rescue his own people.]

[With the combined strength of the Holy-Sword Sect and Shen Family, you forced all major forces to hand over the members of the Gu Family, destroyed their cultivation, and captured them, while ordering everyone to search for Gu Changsheng's whereabouts.]

[The Shen Family also joined in the search.]

[Seven years later, in the 207th year of simulation, you got news from the Shen Family that Gu Changsheng had been found and had been killed by the Young Master of the Shen Family, Shen Mo, himself.]

[You regretted that you didn't kill him yourself. You also wanted to know what kind of opportunity he had, but it was still OK.]

[There were still many simulations for you to find out.]

[After receiving the news, you ordered the elimination of every captured member of the Gu Family.]

[In the 218th year, you got news that the Four Regional Hunting Competition was about to begin, and everyone younger than 500 years old could participate. You decided to join it.]

[You knew—even though it was called the Four Regional Hunting Competition—that in reality, it was a competition only among Three Regions: Eastern Wilderness, Western Wasteland, and Northern Sea. The Southern Deep Forest was actually a place filled with many kinds of poisonous insects, plants, and animals, which, if given time to grow, would consume and turn the entire Xuantian Realm into a land filled with poisonous species.]

[In the past, many powerful people—even people of the Transcending Tribulation Realm—entered deep within the Southern Deep Forest intending to clear the hidden threat to the Xuantian Realm, but they never returned. No one had any news of whether they were dead or alive.]

[Later, all forces of the Xuantian Realm decided not to venture deep into it and only hunted monsters in the outer periphery of the Southern Deep Forest region.]

[So, this competition was arranged by them to train the younger generation of the Xuantian Realm. Anyone below 500 years old could participate, hunt monsters to gain points, and trade them for corresponding resources to practice. There were even additional rewards for the Top 3.]

[Because it was held in the Southern Deep Forest—a holy place for you to practice your new technique rewarded by the system: Myriad Poison Arts.]

[Myriad Poison Arts: The more different poisons you consumed, any kind they were, the better your affinity with the Poison Dao, and the stronger your body would become. While practicing this technique, you were immune to all poisons and could even condense the Body of Myriad Poisons.]

[You arrived at the entrance of the Southern Region, but this time, you didn't meet any of your old friends, except Feng Chen, and obviously, he didn't know you.]

[A month later, the competition started, and you were given a slate, on which your points from killing monsters would be added. You entered the Southern Region and hunted many kinds of poisonous monsters.]

[Before entering, you remembered the instructions of the mysterious figure and started to listen to music.]

[Three months later, you consumed 500 different kinds of poison using the Myriad Poison Arts technique, and found that your body had become much stronger.]

[On this day, you met a snake whose whole body was pitch-black, while only six horns on its head were blood-red.]

[You knew, from years of experience, that you had fought many monsters with different colored horns indicating their foundation and the number of horns indicating their realm. This monster had the strength of the Void-Refining Realm, but the foundation, you didn't know, as you had never faced it.]

[You decided to escape, but found that the surrounding space had closed. You knew you had to fight it.]

[After fighting for hundreds of rounds, you realized you couldn't defeat it. Literally couldn't defeat it. So, you decided to use the trump card given to you by your master.]

[At this moment, the avatar of your master, Wang Sheng, appeared behind you, unleashed his strength, and attacked the snake in front of you.]

[Just as you unleashed your trump card, an unknown energy began covering the snake, giving it the strength to resist your master's attack.]

[Seeing the scene, you were shocked and subconsciously thought: 'Is he someone's pet?']

[When your master's power subsided, the snake's attacks on you grew more and more fierce, as if it had lost something precious because of you.]

[You knew you couldn't continue like this, and you would surely die here, but before dying, you wanted to kill this cancer and bury it with you.]

[At that moment, you used a secret technique that guaranteed your death to be absolute, but would grant you immense power to launch your last sword strike: Sacrifice to the Sword.]

[Slowly, everything—your physique, cultivation, Law, talent, soul—began to be sacrificed and gathered into your sword to launch the final strike of this simulation.]

[When the snake saw your desperate attack, it panicked and tried to run. But how could you let it go? You covered the whole space with your talisman, blocked all escape routes for the time being, and prepared to die with it.]

[You launched the attack, and the snake's body was cut into thousands of pieces until it finally died.]

[Now, you understood one thing:]

[It was the Supreme Foundation of Beasts.]

[At this moment, you were also on the brink of death.]

[All you thought about were three people who were most precious to you in this simulation: your wife, Shen Qingyao; your cute little daughter, Lin Wanqing; and your respected master, Wang Sheng.]

[While thinking of them, a slight smile appeared on your lips as you said:]

["This simulation was worth it."]

[With that thought, you died.]

[Because of your death, this simulation ended.]

Within Simulation,

After Lin Chen's death, a figure clad in black robes, whose face couldn't be seen, appeared near his dead body. He took the phone on the ground, started listening to music, and danced gracefully.

Some time later, after his excitement subsided, he placed the phone into a storage space that had just opened, and with a slight remark said:

"How many billions of years has it been since I last listened to music?"

After expressing his emotions, he turned his face toward the starry sky and said:

"At last, the protagonist is dead."

After finishing this sentence, he arrogantly added while looking at the sky, as if challenging the heavens:

"Now, it's my time to dominate the heavens."
