Simulated immortality allows me to calculate talent stats.

[Xu Kun, who was posing and waiting to be flattered, noticed your attention shifting.]

[Wags its tail and waddles over to you, then crouches down.]

"Meow~ I've become stronger!"

You casually move him aside.

"Okay, okay."

"Meow~, you're just giving me the runaround."

"Huh? You noticed that?"

Xu Kun's eyes gleamed with a ghostly green light, and his hair stood on end slightly.

The unpredictable aura of Zhou Shen's inner demons spread out, formed from the chaotic thoughts arising in the human heart; even the slightest trace of it was enough to disturb the mind.

You truly felt that Brother 2.5 had indeed changed, becoming even dirtier.

[In the last simulation, he infiltrated the minds of Pang Hai and Xu Hui.]

[Even after Pang Hai died after unleashing his Unyielding Blade, no opportunity was found to control him.]

Xu Hui only found the flaw by taking advantage of the fact that the person suppressed their cultivation level while maintaining a clear and untainted mind, and entrusted their mind to the heavens.

[It is evident that when it was first released from the confinement of the Tomb of the God of War, it was in an extremely weak state.]

[Continuously absorbing all kinds of emotional distractions to recover.]

However, the speed at which Pang Hai and Xu Hui became stronger was astonishing.

After reaching the Celestial Realm, Xu Kun regained some of his abilities, but he was still powerless against him.

Now, having recovered from the previous simulation, Xu Kun has once again devoured a source of inner demon essence.

The resulting improvement goes far beyond a simple addition.

It's a qualitative change.

If you were to encounter a Celestial Being head-on right now, simply throw Brother Two-Five out. Even a Celestial Being would have to give way and dare not get involved.

[Their trump cards have become much stronger.]

"Let's finish this."

Your unwavering will allows you to ignore the influence of your inner demons.

But there were two younger brothers in front of him, seemingly in a state of "schizophrenia," who couldn't withstand his disturbance.

[Grab him by the back of the neck and throw him aside.]

[Originally, I intended to soothe their chaotic emotions with the tranquility and clarity of a "pure and untainted heart."]

[Having sensed the darkness in her own heart, she decided not to worsen their condition.]

"How are you feeling right now?"

[You used the infectious effects of the "Succubus Body" to draw them into a like-minded camp.]

Their chaotic state has been temporarily suppressed.

The tension and spirit in the eyes of young Pang Hai and young Xu Hui subsided.

【"call!"】

Xiao Panghai let out a long sigh, plopped down on the ground, his face still showing lingering fear.

Even the usually calm and composed Xu Hui had beads of sweat on his forehead, his expression tense with lingering fear.

"That old man's memories, insights, and will were far too immense. Even after he relinquished control, I was still gradually losing control of my consciousness."

Pang Hai, ignoring the dust on the ground, sat down cross-legged and recounted the strange occurrences he had experienced earlier.

"So, will you inherit, merge, or coexist?"

[You've raised the question that concerns you: what is the current state of affairs between the two of you?]

【"Um……"】

Little Pang Hai scratched his head, opened his mouth as if to speak, but ultimately couldn't utter a coherent sentence.

[It's true that you only realize how little you know when you need it; I can't express myself clearly enough.]

Xu Hui simply described his own situation.

"Inheritance, integration, and coexistence."

His brow furrowed slightly.

"I inherited everything from my future self—memories, emotions, martial arts, insights, and so on—and merged with his consciousness, but as Hai Zi said..."

"My future self is so 'enormous' that he still exists."

At this point, his expression shifted, and then a cold, gleaming light flickered in his eyes.

You are extremely familiar with that look in your eyes.

[He still looks the same as he did in his youth, but if you were to witness the ambiguity between reality and illusion, you would know...]

"Big brother."

[When Xiao Xu Hui spoke, the change in her tone and demeanor confirmed that your feeling was correct.]

The person before me is Xu Hui, the one from the last simulation.

"What happened?"

"Our memories have merged, but our consciousness remains independent. If I were to forcibly transfer them to our younger selves, the result might be that our younger selves couldn't handle it, and their consciousness would collapse instead."

"This has led to the current special situation."

"The soul is unique, the memories are merged, yet two consciousnesses exist."

From Xu Hui's description, you roughly understand their current situation.

In short, it's 'schizophrenia'.

[Normal schizophrenia occurs when the same soul or consciousness splits into two or even three or more personalities.]

[And Pang Hai and Xu Hui.]

[This means that the consciousness of the present and the future coexist within the same soul.]

Originally, Pang Hai and Xu Hui could easily devour their younger selves' consciousness, completely controlling their bodies and souls.

But the choices they made were acts of inheritance, of giving back, and of dedication.

[The result was due to the sheer size of its own consciousness.]

[Unable to be absorbed by the consciousness of one's younger self.]

[We can only maintain the current state of coexistence of consciousness.]

After Xu Hui finished describing the situation, he handed control back to young Xu Hui.

"Yes, yes, that's it."

Little Pang Hai nodded repeatedly in agreement, indicating that he felt the same way.

Suddenly, a fierce, unyielding light shot from his left pupil, and a cold sneer curled at the corner of his mouth.

"You need to read more books in the future, otherwise all you'll know is 'yes, yes, yes.'"

"Mind your own business? Don't think I don't know you're not much better than me."

"Hey! You little brat, how can you be so ungrateful?"

"Old man, don't act like you're so important. To use my older brother's words, you're just a father figure."

"You brat, who are you calling 'Old Deng'?"

"Old Deng, who are you calling a brat?"

Your expression is slightly stiff; I really can't understand how Pang Hai can manage to argue so enthusiastically with himself.

【"Meow~"

Xu Kun walked to your side with cat-like steps, suddenly realizing that he and his older brother were more normal.

The tricks these two played were so bizarre that even the inner demons found them strange.

【"well."】

You sighed softly, your hand falling to gently stroke the cat's head.

"Never mind, let's leave it at that."

For now, things seem to be going well.

[This respected the decisions of Pang Hai and Xu Hui, and the consciousnesses of the two younger brothers did not disappear.]

And they seem to get along quite well.

[It got along quite well.]

Suddenly, as if struck by a thought, you gracefully rise to your feet.

[The figure in the black robe, like a billowing black mist, approached Zuo Shi's door.]

[Pushing open the door and entering.]

[I saw Zuo Shi standing prettily at the door, her face showing surprise, but she smiled brightly when she saw you.]

Clearly, she had been eavesdropping behind the door.

You close the door and sit down at the desk.

Zuo Shi picked up the teapot and poured you a cup of tea, her demeanor graceful and elegant.

[She possesses a charm and experience beyond that of an eighteen-year-old girl.]

"My husband..."

Zuo Shijing stood quietly beside you, her eyes lowered as she observed your expression.

[A soft whisper: "You... already knew?"]
