Regarding the candidates for the simulation, Han Xuanji actually did not have much room for choice. For someone like Hun Qianxue, an Eternal True God powerhouse, the starting price was extremely high; it was not something he could consider.
And the purpose of his simulation this time was mainly to figure out the future direction, so the remaining candidates he had were actually not many.
...
Hun Qianling happened to be handling Family affairs near the Purple Soul Grotto-Heaven, so upon receiving Han Xuanji's message, she put down the Jade Slip in her hand and came to the Purple Soul Grotto-Heaven.
"Xuanji? What do you need me for?"
After entering, Hun Qianling sat down opposite Han Xuanji very naturally.
"Is it about the subsequent plans? Big Brother is already making arrangements over there. Don't worry, he is truly serious this time..."
Han Xuanji did not interrupt her, just listening quietly while she spoke, occasionally nodding.
After she finished speaking, he finally opened his mouth, his tone as casual as if they were just chatting:
"It's nothing major, I just wanted to chat with you. There have been too many things going on recently, and I haven't had the chance to ask how your Cultivation is progressing."
Hun Qianling was startled, then immediately laughed:
"You actually take the initiative to care about someone?"
Han Xuanji smiled and did not explain.
He couldn't exactly say, "I'm looking for you to use the System to simulate your future."
Hun Qianling didn't think much of it, assuming his nerves had been too tight recently and he had finally relaxed and wanted to find someone to talk to.
She rambled on about her recent Cultivation Bottleneck, talked about the trivial matters in the Family, and occasionally complained about how difficult some of the stubborn old fogies in the Hun Family were.
While listening, Han Xuanji silently called up the System in his mind.
[Simulation Target: Hun Qianling (Eternal Dao Lord Fifth Layer, Person of Luck.)]
[Simulating Hun Qianling requires 6,000 eternal points. Simulate?]
[Note: Bound by the rules of the Eternal True Realm, the Host cannot remain an outsider during the simulation. Only current Cultivation and talent are retained; System functions cannot be used, and there will be no memories related to the System.]
So expensive?
6,000 points, a full 6,000 points.
Han Xuanji felt his heart bleeding; this was the reason he had been holding back from using the simulation function.
His second reaction was to a term on the System panel.
"Eternal True Realm?"
Han Xuanji pondered secretly in his heart; this must be the name of this world.
And the other restrictions were the same; he could not retain the System in the simulation.
For him, this was a huge weakening, and he would have to act even more cautiously in the simulation.
"Forget it, nothing ventured, nothing gained. To ensure foolproof results, this is necessary."
With his current level of the Way of Destiny, let alone observing the future, even sensing fortune and misfortune was blurry and unclear.
The more powerful the Origin of the world, the more profound the destiny, and the more chaotic and unpredictable the flow of the River of Destiny became.
He could only let the great System take action.
Hopefully, this expense wouldn't be a loss.
"Simulate!"
Han Xuanji's heart stirred, and his consciousness sank into it as the simulation function unfolded.
[Simulation Begins]
[You are the legitimate daughter of the Hun Family. Your Big Brother, Hun Qianxue, is the current head of the Hun Family. After enduring hardships, you returned to the Hun Family from the Primordial Chaos. You are deeply loved by Hun Qianxue and have already begun to take charge of the Family's power.]
...
[On this day, you communicate a great deal with Han Xuanji. You tell him to focus on his Cultivation, and then you ask him for advice on the Five Elements Dao Laws. You gain quite a lot, and your understanding of the Five Elements Dao Laws improves.]
Hun Qianling also Cultivates the Way of Laws; he could indeed teach her a bit in the future.
Han Xuanji thought silently.
[Time passes slowly. You worry about Big Brother's safety, but because your strength is insufficient, you cannot influence the situation, so you can only handle Family affairs while Cultivating. With the support of the Family Head and Han Xuanji behind you, your reputation within the clan rises.]
[One year later, on the seventh day after Hun Qianxue left the Family, news struck the Hun Family like a thunderbolt and immediately spread throughout Qianhun City: the Hun Family Head had been ambushed on the way. The ambushers were three Eternal True Gods from the Tianwu Sect, with Sect Leader Wu Tianqiong leading the charge personally, along with three others, all of whom were members of the Hun Family.]
[The outcome was naturally not unexpected.]
[Hun Qianxue had been prepared long ago. Not only did he bring four Family guards of the Eternal True God rank, but he also brought five Family Guest Elders. Not only did he retreat unscathed, but he also aggressively counter-killed the ambushers. Sect Leader Wu Tianqiong of the Tianwu Sect fled severely injured, leaving half his life at Soul-Severing Ridge. The others were two dead and one injured, while Hun Cangfeng and Third Young Master Hun Qianchen were captured alive.]
[The news spread, and the whole city was in an uproar.]
[Hun Qianxue canceled his original itinerary and returned to the Hun Family with the three captives. That night, the lights in the Family Council Hall did not go out all night.]
In the simulator, a year's time passed like turning a page. Seeing this from the perspective of an onlooker, Han Xuanji found it within his expectations, and at the same time, he breathed a sigh of relief.
To say he wasn't worried would be a lie.
Fortunately.
It wasn't one of those melodramatic tropes from cheesy novels with huge ups and downs; no unexpected accidents popped up.
Hun Qianxue still won. If he couldn't even win this, then there was nothing he could do; it could only be said that it was Heaven's will, and no one could be blamed.
[After learning the news, you hurriedly go to share the good news with Han Xuanji.]
[Arriving at the Purple Soul Grotto-Heaven, you stand at the door for a moment, suddenly not knowing what to say. Thanks felt too light, and you didn't know how to bring up repayment.]
[In the end, Han Xuanji invites you in. You just walk in, sit down, and quietly accompany him as he drinks half a pot of tea, feeling that just being able to sit like this is already very good.]
[After this incident, the relationship between Han Xuanji and the Hun Family becomes increasingly close, and a tacit understanding that goes unspoken develops between you and Han Xuanji.]
[Big Brother finds you many times, solemnly saying that you must spare no cost to win over Han Xuanji.]
[You are somewhat helpless. It's not that you aren't willing, but that Han Xuanji is truly difficult to approach. He never leaves his house, spends all his heart and mind on Cultivation, and sometimes doesn't say a few words for decades.]
[You think to yourself, for a Prodigy like Han Xuanji, Qianhun City is too small, and the Hun Family cannot keep him. You only want to do as much as you can for him while he is still by your side. As for anything else—you do not ask for it, nor do you want to use gratitude to trap him.]
Han Xuanji's heart stirred slightly; he had not expected the simulation to reveal these things as well. The words were light, but the thoughts were heavy.
His own consistent choice in the simulations was Cultivation first, not involving romantic entanglements.
This wasn't coldness, but on this path, those who have gone too far find it hard to stop for their whole lives. But being treated sincerely by others, he still kept it in his heart.
And the simulation continued; passing this tribulation did not mean that everything would be worry-free in the future.
