Simulated immortality allows me to calculate talent stats.

Amidst the vast, snow-covered mountains and forests, billowing black smoke rises like a dragon pillar, swirling and raging wildly.

The ink strokes swept across the heavens and earth, leaving behind a profound mark.

A laugh tinged with deep malice echoed.

Holding the imperial seal, Yu Ci stood serenely in the snowy forest like a lotus in the moonlight, hearing this long-lost laughter.

Her serene and elegant face suddenly showed surprise.

[That was a nightmare from my childhood that would wake me up in the middle of the night whenever I recalled it.]

I thought I had forgotten about it because I hadn't heard of it for so many years.

[The echo was heard again at that moment.]

[This caused her body to tremble instinctively, and her eyes to well up with terror.]

He looked up abruptly, his eyes wide, staring blankly at the black smoke stretching across the sky.

[I witnessed that figure in the black robe, enveloped in black smoke formed by a chaotic destiny, floating gracefully in the void.]

The pupils, wreathed in black arcs of electricity, slowly lowered.

Seeing Yu Ci's terrified expression, the corners of your mouth involuntarily widened.

It seems I did indeed leave a deep psychological scar on the other person during their childhood.

[After so many years apart, their reunion still evoked an instinctive fear in her.]

[The "Firefly Dance" movement technique, thoroughly seasoned with rebellious spirit, is accompanied by black smoke effects.]

[The main villain makes his appearance.]

Yu Ci's wide, terrified eyes followed your landing.

Xu Kun squatted leisurely beside you, tilting his head to observe her expression, a wicked smile on his face.

[Tap tap tap...]

Yu Ci instinctively stepped back, unable to control his strength, his feet sinking into the snow, making a crunching sound.

[Hold your hands in a mudra, cross them, and hold them in front of your body.]

The girl's delicate features still retained a touch of childishness, complemented by her fear-reddened eyes.

[It evokes genuine pity.]

It looks like two major villains are harming an innocent girl.

"Who...who are you...and why are you trapping me here!"

Yu Ci took a deep breath, mustered his courage, and asked the question that had plagued him for years, a question he couldn't answer no matter how hard he tried.

[Pure and innocent eyes, startled yet still stubbornly gazing at you.]

Why...?

Upon hearing this, you whispered, recalling the last simulation where you were hunted down in the Western Regions for ten years.

At the time, you also wanted to know why.

[If the opponent acts cleanly and decisively, it indicates an ability exceeding the level of "precognition."]

[Or perhaps they will kill you when you clearly foresee it, but have no time to dodge.]

You probably don't even harbor such deep resentment.

[That feeling of being treated like a plaything, trapped in a sandstorm, forced to live on the brink of death, unable to breathe.]

[At that time, your cultivation level was weak, so you should cherish the simulation attempts and try to prolong the simulation time to obtain more talent attributes.]

So you accepted it and decided not to argue with them.

But now, you are no longer the person you were back then.

Then we should really settle this score.

[Yu Ci is nothing more than a pawn you casually placed in the game, driven by a wicked sense of humor and a desire to fish for prey.]

The real revenge, from the time Wei Qi, Pang Hai, and Xu Hui raised their armies in Yongzhou, was merely a prelude.

[Isn't Yin Qian going to vie for the Mandate of Heaven?]

[In the last simulation, Han Jing blocked our way for over twenty years, preventing us from leaving Yongzhou.]

Ultimately, through a deal with the immortal sects, they were able to enter Shu and subsequently establish the Zhou Kingdom.

So this time...

You must not only prevent Yin Qian from establishing a kingdom, but also prevent him from leaving the Western Regions!

[His dream of conquering destiny was completely buried in the endless sands of the Western Regions!]

You gather the black smoke around you, revealing your true form.

Yu Ci immediately stared at your face, a hint of surprise in his eyes.

[Then she continued to stare wide-eyed and pout, waiting for your answer.]

I want to know why.

[Your soft laughter.]

The long, dark robe fluttered in the wind and snow, like a swirling black mist, revealing an air of mystery and unpredictability.

"Many things in this world don't have a reason."

Your cold gaze and elegant demeanor instilled in Yu Ci a chilling sense of crisis.

"I wanted to do it, so I did it, and you bore the consequences."

Why?

"Hehehe, does that need a reason?"

【"Hehehe..."】

Xu Kun, who was squatting beside you, looked up at your raucous, upturned-headed laughter.

[Suddenly, she quietly shifted her position.]

He knew you were acting, and initially thought you were acting too, but now he realizes...

As you acted, it seemed like you weren't acting anymore.

That guttural laughter was even more demonic than his inner demons.

[Yu Ci was initially angry at your answer, but then calmed down and quickly accepted it.]

[From being trapped in a deadly situation since the age of eight, I've been planning my escape day and night.]

The trials and tribulations these years have honed her character like a tempering fire.

As for the methods of divination and fortune-telling...

The heart is the most important foundation.

Without a resilient mind, one can easily be swayed by complex divination factors, affecting judgment and decision-making.

This leads to a reversal of cause and effect, causing divination to be flawed from its very foundation.

Observing the changes in Yu Ci's expression, one cannot help but sigh with admiration.

The other person truly possesses an exceptionally stunning appearance.

Thinking about this made me even happier.

This precious treasure has been trapped in Yongzhou for years.

[You can imagine the anxious yet helpless expressions on the faces of those in the Western Regions after losing control of Yu Ci.]

[Especially since we needed to lie low and build up our strength beforehand, we couldn't easily reveal our hand.]

[After much effort, they came up with a plan and dispatched powerful warriors to attempt a rescue.]

【Then……】

[They encountered Wei Qi, the ruthless killer.]

The so-called strongmen were easily eliminated by him.

After reviewing the results of your "specially trained students," you nodded in satisfaction.

[I've decided to give her some extra homework.]

A hand emerged from the wide sleeve, fingertips touching the center of the brow.

[Buzz...]

An invisible, traceless sword cry trembled; in an instant, the ultimate sword force, sword energy, and sword momentum filled the heavens and earth.

[A myriad of lights illuminate the sword's intent, a sublime and magnificent sword rhythm, a sword intent capable of annihilating all things...]

[Building a pure sword world based on your invincible body.]

【suddenly.】

The sword world, rife with strange phenomena, is like a drop of thick ink falling into clear water.

[In an instant, it blurred into a deep, defiant black.]

Within the Sword Realm, it was as if there were nothingness.

[After being enveloped by the sword realm, Xu Kun saw the surrounding scenery.]

[He immediately and obediently shifted his position, squatting closer to you.]

[You also observe the Sword Realm.]

This is the first time you've driven something like this in a long time.

[Especially after his rebellious nature has led to the complete corruption of all his martial arts techniques and secret arts.]

[First time activating Sword Realm.]

[Leaving aside the billowing black smoke effects, the sheer increase in power alone is enough to surprise you.]
