After transforming into a fairy, I, in my simulation, wreaked havoc in the cultivation world.

Having confirmed your suspicions, you took a deep breath, your eyes filled with a mixture of resignation and heartache.

You slowly approached Tantai Jin, letting the sword tip press against your throat.

"Brother Jin, I don't know why you suddenly showed such murderous intent towards me, but at least..."

You took another step forward, the sharp tip of the sword slicing through your skin, a streak of crimson blood winding down your pale neck—the contrast was jarring.

Tantai Jin's hand gripping the sword trembled almost imperceptibly, and he instinctively took a step back.

"At least let me know why you wanted to kill me."

Your demeanor remains as unrestrained and confident as ever, just like when we first met, with that carefree smile.

"Even if I die by your hand, it won't be in vain that we loved each other."

[At the same time, your divine sense has already locked onto the Thousand-Mile Escape Talisman within the system space; it will be activated immediately at the slightest sign of trouble.]

[Tantai Jin's gaze towards you held fear, hatred, and a hint of confusion, yet he never lowered the magical longsword in his hand.]

He was starting to lose his sense of what was real and what was fake.

The blood-red figure from my memory that had just appeared gradually overlapped with the person before me, yet they were also clearly separated.

But those real memories, along with the precious high-level secret techniques within them, have all been verified by him; they are all genuine...

Looking into your resolute eyes, Tantai Jin recalled these five completely different years, and began to recount everything that had happened.

The blood-red figure in my memory was named Lin Qingyu, with the Daoist name Blood Phoenix.

[It is said that she was born in a small mortal town called Fallen Phoenix City, but the first thing she did after embarking on her cultivation journey was to slaughter all the mortals in that town.]

Not a single chicken or dog will be spared; not a single blade of grass will grow.

[After being hunted down by the Tianxuan Sword Sect, he went into hiding for twenty years. He reappeared in the world at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, and with his next move, he massacred more than ten cities belonging to the Tianxuan Sword Sect.]

[After attracting the attention of a Core Formation cultivator, he used some unknown secret technique, resulting in his severe injuries as he fled.]

Fifty years later, when Lin Qingyu reappeared, he was already at the early stage of Core Formation. He swept through several second-rate sects and even killed cultivators at the late stage of Golden Core, despite being beyond his cultivation level.

[A rumor, seemingly from nowhere, spread that she cultivated an extremely terrifying technique that allowed her to increase her cultivation level without any bottlenecks simply by absorbing the essence and blood of other cultivators.]

This news caused a stir in Xuanhuang Prefecture, with countless cultivators searching for Lin Qingyu's whereabouts, and even Nascent Soul True Monarchs personally joining the search.

But Lin Qingyu seemed to have vanished without a trace. The next time news of her was heard was three hundred years later. It was said that she had joined a demonic force in Zhongzhou and successfully broken through to the Nascent Soul stage.

This rapid advancement alarmed the cultivators of Xuanhuang Prefecture who knew some of her background, and at the same time, it fueled their boundless greed.

[Among them, the Tianxuan Sword Sect was the most terrified. They hurriedly reported the news to the Taichu Sword Court of Zhongzhou, asking them to pay a price to force the demonic path to hand over Lin Qingyu.]

However, the opposing side used some unknown means, and the demonic forces refused to divulge anything. Fortunately, both sides retained some rationality and did not actually engage in combat.

[Amidst this stalemate, multiple forces within the Primordial Sword Court were annihilated. The perpetrators were extremely ruthless, having pre-emptively set up formations to cut off the teleportation array, leaving no survivors.]

The great battle between the righteous and the demonic paths has thus begun.

[Just as the war between the righteous and the demonic paths intensified, decades later, the demon-repelling array on the border was destroyed.]

The true demons have stormed into the heart of human territory. They seem to have completely taken control of the human landscape, and their every move is extremely precise.

[Only then did the higher-ups of both the righteous and demonic paths realize that they had been tricked by Lin Qingyu.]

Meanwhile, Lin Qingyu had already led a powerful group of demon soldiers towards the heart of Xuanhuang Prefecture.

The Tianxuan Sword Sect was the first to be targeted. In just three days, this second-tier sect, which stood at the top of Xuanhuang Prefecture, was completely wiped out.

What followed was indiscriminate slaughter. Tantai Jin, then hailed as the strongest genius in Xuanhuang Prefecture, naturally sought out Lin Qingyu.

However, despite both being at the Nascent Soul stage, he couldn't withstand the opponent's third move...

Those indifferent, blood-red eyes, that terrifying aura of murderous intent that threatened to destroy everything—Tantai Jin remembered them vividly, and he didn't even have the courage to face them a second time.

That face completely overlapped with the woman in front of him.

Moreover, he sometimes seems to exude an aura of indifference towards everything about you.

Even if your life trajectory is completely different from the person in your memory, the blood debt of your family's tragic deaths and the annihilation of your clan is still vivid in your mind; he dares not gamble.

After listening, you fell silent.

[The protagonist of this story should be myself; perhaps... that's what life would be like without a simulator.]

One can only imagine the humiliation and torment he would endure in that small mortal mansion without any external assistance.

Even just thinking about it gives you the urge to destroy everything.

As a time traveler, you have always maintained your principles and bottom line. As long as no one stands in your way, you will not indiscriminately kill innocent people.

[But clearly, Lin Qingyu's bottom line in the story has been crossed, so the extraterrestrial demons will not treat this world kindly.]

My mind is the universe, and the universe is my mind.

You won't judge the "self" in the story; that's her inner peace, which has its own light.

But you will not walk that path, for the path you now tread is already your own vast universe.

Seeing you fall silent, a hint of pity flashed in Tantai Jin's eyes, but he still asked in a firm tone:

"Is there anything else you'd like to say?"

[The doubts in my heart have been resolved, and what I was meant to obtain has already been obtained. The final task of this simulation is to fuse with the essence blood of the Azure Phoenix.]

Thinking of this, you pouted and said with dissatisfaction:

"Brother Jin, can you really bear to kill me with your own hands?"

Upon hearing this, Tantai Jin tightened his grip on the hilt of his sword, remaining silent; silence was the best answer.

[That scoundrel, he's really heartless.]

However, a hint of admiration flashed in your eyes. If someone could disregard their family and clan for mere beauty and five years of lukewarm affection, then they are nothing special.

"Brother Jin, may I make one request before I die?"

A blush crept across your pretty face, your eyes shimmering as you gazed intently at him.

Upon seeing this, Tantai Jin froze. After five years of living and working together, he understood all too well what that look meant.

After a moment of internal struggle, Tantai Jin thought that after five years of getting along, fulfilling her wish in the end shouldn't be too much to ask.

Just then, the figure in front of him was suddenly enveloped in a white light and vanished in the blink of an eye, leaving only a soft, bell-like laugh in the air:

"Brother Jin, come find me quickly~ If I find you, I'll let you...hehehe~"

"Damn it!"

[With a single sword strike, Tantai Jin shattered the boulder before him, and his figure shot out of the cave.]

For some reason, he unconsciously felt a sense of relief.
