Simulated immortality allows me to calculate talent stats.

[You and Xu Kun waited a moment, and Zuo Shi returned with tears in her eyes, her eyes red from crying.]

"Thank you..."

[Tears turned into smiles; it was a pure and sincere gratitude, unrelated to their relationship.]

[To be able to return to one's youth, to see one's ailing but still alive mother, and to have a chance to make amends.]

What price would anyone be willing to pay?

[For Zuo Shi, this means being willing to sacrifice one's life.]

"For me, what's the point of talking about thanks?"

You gently wiped away the tears on her face.

[In a calm tone: "This is just my personal decision; because you are you, it's natural for me to help you."]

Zuo Shi understands your thoughts.

If the previous test failed, then Zuo Shi is not Zuo Shi.

You will resolutely turn and leave.

As for the girl's original trajectory, including her experiences of life and death, that's none of your concern.

After Zuo Shi calmed down, you made arrangements.

[They found the best doctor in Jinlin City to treat Zuo's mother, and had Xu Kun use his inner demon techniques to secretly control the underground forces in Jinlin City.]

[A succubus's body, an intelligence master, and an inner demon.]

[He is adept at manipulating human nature, handling tasks with ease and completing them simply.]

The dawn is faint, and a thin mist floats in the air.

[You and Xu Kun said goodbye to Zuo Shi, and the two of you, one human and one cat, disappeared into the hazy mist.]

[Outskirts of Jinlin City.]

Xu Kun wags his tail, his steps elegant, following behind you.

"Meow~ Big brother, where do we find Wei Qi?"

"Don't go looking for him; let him come to you by chance."

Your long robe billowed like black mist, your steps unseen, your figure shimmering and fleeting like a shadow.

"Wait for him to come knocking? Meow~"

[Xu Kun doesn't know your arrangements, but with sufficient trust and the established understanding, he should just follow your lead.]

The mountains are shrouded in a cool, desolate hue in late autumn.

[You utilized the "Intelligence Master" talent attribute, combined with your experience fighting alongside Wei Qi during the ten years prior to the last simulation.]

Find all the hidden military strongholds and bandit camps in the three prefectures bordering the Western Regions of Yongzhou.

[An intelligence network was developed during this period.]

[Gather information on Wei Qi's movements in order to create a chance encounter at the opportune moment.]

If it's merely a lurking inner demon, there's no need for such trouble. Simply find Wei Qi's location and pay him a visit.

But you must take him into the tomb of the God of War.

When an opportunity is presented to Wei Qi for no apparent reason, his first reaction is not joy, but wariness.

[Being new to the field simply means lacking experience, not that I'm not smart enough.]

Three months after leaving Golden Scale City, you finally found the right opportunity.

[Boom boom boom!!!]

The thunderous trampling of the iron cavalry created a deafening roar, billowing dust that swept in.

The blatant, menacing killing intent was terrifying.

A column of cavalry, kicking up clouds of dust, charged towards the village nestled in the mountains.

The leader was a young and valiant general.

Clad in bright red armor, riding a black steed, and wielding a long spear, he charged into battle.

[A spirited and unrestrained demeanor, an invincible sharpness, and a fearless display of youthful leadership.]

【唷! 】

Wei Qi slightly raised his eyebrows, thrusting his spear forward. In an instant, a sharp sound like gold and jade tearing through the air rang out.

The spear, like a streak of light, swept across the sky, its powerful and fierce blade piercing the high wall.

【boom!!!】

The high wall, built of rammed earth, was blasted into dust by long spears, sending plumes of smoke and dust soaring into the sky. The aftershocks raged, sweeping across the land in a tornado.

Wei Qi took the lead, leaping out of the billowing dust on his horse.

Then I saw an unforgettable scene.

[Tick-tock...]

The sound of blood dripping from the sword tip, amidst the ripples and the thunderous roar of cavalry, still rang clearly in everyone's ears.

[A figure in a long, dark robe, standing alone amidst a scene of carnage, sword in hand.]

[A refined and handsome face, very young.]

[His eyes, however, bear the marks of time, a complex sense of experience, and an air of elegant mystery.]

Wei Qi's pupils suddenly contracted.

His gaze fell upon the blood-dripping longsword.

It was, in his eyes, a mere iron bar that could hardly be called a sword.

[Yet this simple iron bar slaughtered nearly a thousand soldiers and bandits in the surrounding area.]

He was born into a distinguished family, received his education from heaven and earth, and possessed extremely high standards.

[The battle situation can be analyzed from the traces at the scene.]

[Crushed.]

A complete and utter crushing defeat.

The mysterious figure, in an unbelievable manner, appearing like countless phantoms, instantly killed nearly a thousand soldiers and bandits.

Such unimaginable agility and the terrifying extent to which his body could withstand made him increasingly cautious.

You clearly sensed Wei Qi's dramatic emotional shift.

[Silently drawing upon endless potential from the "Overlord Body" to recover.]

It wouldn't be difficult to wipe out a bandit stronghold of nearly a thousand men.

[Even among these thousand people, their martial arts cultivation levels are indistinguishable whether they are at the first, second, third, or fourth realm.]

[To reach the fifth or sixth realm, one needs to utilize the Eye of the Broken Mirror, in conjunction with the database in their mind.]

[But it requires killing a thousand people instantly.]

Even with the Heavenly Rank "Firefly Dance," you couldn't have done it before.

[Breaking through to the fifth realm of destiny, possessing the Infinite Sword Realm, coupled with the strength of the "Overlord Body" and boundless potential.]

[Such a massive output was achieved in just a short time.]

[Your current stance, sword in hand, is not only a pose, but also a silent process of recovery.]

[There was indeed some over-output, resulting in a deficit.]

However, sensing the turbulent emotions Wei Qi is currently experiencing, it's all worthwhile.

You've considered many ways to meet.

The camaraderie and camaraderie built during the last simulation are clearly no longer suitable.

It will take too long.

Pang Hai and Xu Hui had about a year left before entering the Tomb of the God of War; there simply wasn't enough time.

Therefore, a truly awe-inspiring first encounter, coupled with a lofty status, is necessary to lend credibility to your revelation of the Tomb of the God of War.

And you, too, have prepared your identity.

Wei Qi was shocked, but he remained calm, gripping the reins tightly to suppress his emotions.

"Wei Qi of the Wei family in the central courtyard, may I ask your identity?"

Wei Qi's tone was polite yet sophisticated.

But after hearing his words, your expression turned slightly strange.

[The Wei family in the central courtyard, Wei Qi.]

"Well, so it turns out that when you were young, Brother Wei, you were quite proud of your family's reputation."

[Look at his weary and helpless appearance during the last simulation.]

You might have thought that a young Wei Qi would have declared he would rely on himself and not need the support of his family or his empress sister.

The result was different from what you expected.

Wei Qi was truly helpless; the scene you created for their first meeting was far too frightening.

Faced with such a mysterious and unpredictable existence.

He had no choice but to invoke the name of the Wei family in the central courtyard.

Your sword strikes, imbued with powerful energy, wash away the bloodstains from the blade.

Wei Qi's grip on the gun tightened.

[With a wary heart, I sensed that this person appeared refined and elegant, with an ethereal air, yet my intuition told me he was like billowing black smoke, mysterious and elusive.]

[He doesn't look like a good person.]

You don't know what Wei Qi is thinking.

They also introduced themselves.

[Her long, dark robe fluttered in the breeze; her demeanor was elegant; her tone was calm and composed.]

"True Martial Mountain, Celestial Master's Mansion, Contemporary Daoist Disciple..."

"Wen Yu."
