Simulates history, but Chongzhen is the Divine Emperor at the beginning

Chapter 217 Why not?
[Ding! You're dead. The wrong choice led to the wrong outcome...]

……

Dead, the new simulation protagonist died for the first time...

When the news of death reached Zhou Liang, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then his face was filled with confusion.

Admittedly, when he made this decision that went against his own interests, he had already prepared himself for the losses that Zhou Chi would suffer in the subsequent plot, but Zhou Chi's sudden death still left him a little overwhelmed...

"...How could he die? What happened to that guy Zifang?"

Zhou Liang couldn't help but frown in confusion:

It’s not that he couldn’t accept death, but this death was very strange. After all, “Zhou Chi”’s fighting ability was not weak at all!
This is not an empty statement, because "Zhou Chi"'s combat power is far more than the martial arts he has practiced for more than ten years. His actual combat power is actually Zhou Tianzun hidden in his "subjective consciousness".

Just like when Zhou Tianzun helped Zhou Liang to forcibly defeat the real God Emperor, although Zhou Tianzun has no physical body and cannot directly interfere with objective reality, after he and Zhou Liang become one, Zhou Liang can use his endless "power of the West" to interfere with reality in disguise!
Zhou Liang in this state was even able to defeat the Divine Emperor, which shows the power of this state of "subjective interference".

So theoretically speaking, the current "Zhou Chi" actually possesses infinite power of the Western Heaven. He is able to rely on Zhou Tianzun to launch a devastating attack on the enemies in the simulated world!

Even though there may be terrifying enemies stronger than Zhou Tianzun in the current world view, it does not mean that "Zhou Chi" is really a weakling. At least a few Jin people will definitely not be able to kill him.

But now, "Zhou Chi" just died in such a cowardly way before he could even accomplish his mission...

Very weird!
After much thought, Zhou Liang could only come to one conclusion:
"This can only mean that Zifang did it on purpose... and the reason for this... was probably to train this newbie, Zhou Chi?"

This speculation is not without reason. After all, the current "Zhou Chi" is actually a newbie who has just entered society. He is no different from Zhou Zifang when the simulation just started. If you want him to grow up, you must train him more.

The simulated protagonist cannot remain a child forever. A protagonist who can stand on his own is the protagonist that truly meets Zhou Liang’s needs!

Of course, in addition to training the newbie, Zhou Zifang must have other considerations. Otherwise, with his concern for "Zhou Chi", he would not have watched "Zhou Chi", the junior he had raised, die...

Thinking of this, Zhou Liang felt relieved:
"Well, as long as Zifang is watching, no matter how big the problem is, it won't be a problem. He will be in charge of all the affairs in the simulation world..."

After feeling relieved, Zhou Liang's attention was fixed on the description of the "Jin border crossers".

"A dark shadow... a shrill roar... sharp claws killing people..."

Just by looking at these terrifying descriptive sentences, Zhou Liang's first impression of it was that it didn't look very human...

Then think of the information I got by chance before:
When the Southern Song Emperor Zhao Gou ascended to godhood, strange changes also occurred in the Northern Jin Kingdom. The people in the north were no longer the pitiful survivors of the Song Dynasty, but became some kind of indescribable unknown existence!
It was precisely because of this sudden change in the Jin Kingdom that Yue Fei and other generals were forced to stop the Northern Expedition. They quickly withdrew their troops and voluntarily abandoned the vast land north of Xiangyang to the Jin Kingdom.

Although Zhou Liang still didn't know what had happened in the north, judging by the Jin border crossers who had caused Zhou Chi's death, there were probably very few humans left in the north...

Zhou Liang couldn't help but guess:
"But then again, the specific situation in the north can be left for later exploration, but the origins of these Jin border crossers are worth considering."

After rejecting the "substantial sum of money" offered by Lady Pan and Liu Dutou for a child, Zhou Chi was immediately transferred to patrol the border for grain. He was then tragically killed by a Jin border invader...

It would be really strange if there was no cause and effect between them!

Therefore, Zhou Liang had reason to believe that the Jin border crossers were deliberately let in by Liu Dutou, and his intention was obviously to vent his anger and silence them...

Zhou Liang raised his eyebrows:

"If that's true, then if Zhou Chi continues to cling to his moral principles and values ​​without Zifang taking action, he'll be doomed..."

"And if he doesn't want to die, then he can only submit to Liu Dutou and help him pray for a son..."

After all, interests are above everything else. Even if "Zhou Chi" has ideals and passion, he can only succumb to interests in the powerless reality.

He might feel unwilling, or feel that his ideals have been insulted, but... those are of no practical significance.

"However, considering that Liu Dutou is so quick to kill anyone who disagrees with him, even if Zhou Chi agreed to pay a large sum of money for a child, he would probably be dead before he could spend it. Sooner or later, he would die under Madam Pan's spell..."

Therefore, Zhou Liang was not optimistic about this...

[Ding! The prizes for this round are being calculated. Calculation in progress...]

[Ding! Prize received: "Full Physical Enhancement"! ]

"Full Body Enhancement" (Body): Distilled from the essence of warriors who have spent years training their bodies and honing their strength, this skill can slightly enhance the body's overall strength, improving all indicators, including strength, speed, endurance, and healing speed.

Following a system ding, a stream of red light flowed into Zhou Liang's soul, and then nothing happened...

Zhou Liang, who was pondering the plot, was slightly startled, and then he could not help but be speechless: "No... My soul body is not a physical body! What's the point of strengthening my physical body?"

Obviously, this prize can only be used by the simulated character "Zhou Chi"...

Zhou Liang sighed helplessly:
"Well... let's continue the simulation."

[Ding! We've detected that you're currently simulating. Would you like to return to your last life choice point and continue the branch simulation, or return to your birth node and start over?]

"Return to the previous life node!"

[Ding! Returning to the previous life node...]

【…】

[Ding! In this intertwined issue of morality and desire, it's really hard for you to make a reasonable choice... So, what do you choose (?)]

A: Agree immediately! If you don't want it, it's a waste. If you don't want it, it's a waste! Since even the victim is willing, what reason do you have to refuse? It's better to follow your desire!

[B: Stay true to yourself! Justice is always in your heart, so you decide to stick to yourself and bravely reject bad temptations...]

"Choose A!"

[Ding! You chose option A, agree immediately! If you don't want it, it's a waste. If you don't want it, it's a waste! Since even the victim is willing, what reason do you have to refuse? It's better to follow your desire!]

【…】

[Just after you closed your eyes in despair, you opened them the next moment and were surprised to find yourself back at the moment of choice a few days ago!]

[The charming Madam Pan in front of you is still confidently waiting for your response. She believes that you will make the right choice...]

But your attention isn't on her at the moment, but on the hallucinating Xiangfu... You're extremely excited and want to share your feelings with him: My child has already died once, and the infinite reincarnation you spoke of is real!

[And the Prime Minister and you are one and the same, so he knows everything you are thinking... So he smiled and stopped you from talking, letting you focus on dealing with the current situation.]

[After all, this is a real life-or-death crisis. If you choose the wrong direction, you will inevitably die!]

After the excitement of reincarnation, you quickly realized this: What should you do? Refusing means death, but agreeing would violate your morals and values...

This question was truly a difficult one for you before. After all, you hadn't experienced life and death back then, so it was difficult to make such a decision... But now things are different. Now that you've witnessed the horror of life and death, in order to avoid such a great terror again, you can only temporarily put aside your worldly values ​​and choose the most tangible benefits!

[Besides, you're also full of anger that you want to vent...]

[It's this woman in front of me! It was she and her cuckold husband who killed you!]

If you don't avenge this murder, you're a turtle god descended to earth!

[Furthermore, they not only killed you, but also forced you to distort your upright morals and values... This is truly a great shame and humiliation! Unforgivable!]

[Thinking this way, your already restless heart suddenly erupts in a raging evil fire, burning your rationality to ashes. Only one thought remains in your mind and eyes...]

【"grass!"】

You roared, and immediately pounced like a fierce bear towards Madam Pan, who was waiting for your answer!

She couldn't help but scream, subconsciously wanting to call for help, but the words were on the tip of her tongue but she couldn't say them... because a strong masculine scent had already hit her face, causing her body to suddenly go limp...

[Young! Passionate! Tall! Majestic!]

[This is nothing that old guy can compare to...]

[Thinking this way, and considering she already had this intention, she half-heartedly agreed...]

[“Hmph…be gentle…”]

【"Roar!"】
