Simulated immortality allows me to calculate talent stats.

The first generation leader, Pang Hai, had an untamed smile that hinted at a wild nature.

After taking a large gulp of wine, he sighed, "Yes... we've never met, so how can we talk about old friends?"

The first generation leader, Xu Hui, had his eyes lowered, a complex expression playing on his lips.

Xu Kun shook the cat's head, looking left and right.

[As a celestial demon from beyond the realm, I am a collection of worldly emotions, distracting thoughts, and obsessions.]

On the contrary, they are the ones who can't understand the reasons behind it.

But he understood one thing.

[That's the origin of the state that made the First Generation Zuo Shi feel even more terrifying than the Red-Haired Old Monster's state when you summoned him.]

Perhaps it is because of these persistent efforts.

A smile curved his lips, revealing mockery and disdain.

Just as he was about to raise his head and meow, about to utter a few mocking words...

Noticing your similarly wistful expression, I immediately suppressed the smile on my face.

Squat upright properly, keeping your eyes straight ahead.

Silently repeat to yourself: "I take my elder brother as my role model... I don't understand, but I'm definitely not wrong."

Wei Qi was completely bewildered by their conversation.

He's not the type to overthink things.

Since the two claim to be old friends, why not enjoy a drink together as if they were old friends?

[A rare, casual smile appeared on Wei Qi's face, which was usually filled with murderous intent.]

"Alright! Let's drink to our departed friend!"

The first generation leaders, Pang Hai and Xu Hui, looked at the impetuous Wei Qi.

[The expression of reminiscence faltered for a moment.]

This book is first published on 111k.com, providing you with a reading experience without errors or disordered chapters.

[Because it seems, perhaps, probably, that no one has ever seen anyone toast to themselves who once existed and then vanished into cause and effect and time?]

The two quickly shook off their wandering thoughts.

Raise a glass and drink to your heart's content.

Finally, Wei Qi succumbed to his drunkenness and collapsed.

You brothers are gathered around the campfire.

The first leader, Pang Hai, looked at Wei Qi's face; it showed signs of weariness, and his sword-like eyebrows were slightly furrowed.

Suddenly, he suggested, "Brother, why don't you see Brother Wei off this time?"

"Otherwise, if we were to reincarnate in the future, each time we met and became close friends, we would be unable to resonate with the memories of the past."

"I always feel it's a pity..."

You nodded upon hearing this, then chuckled softly.

"Hai Zi, there are some people you try so hard to protect, but in the end you can only regretfully see them off on their final journey."

[Just like Lü Zhen in the last simulation.]

"And some people... are very difficult to get rid of..."

[Such as Wei Qi, Han Jing, Gong Si, Yu Ji, Pei Qingyu, and... your master.]

These people, regardless of their innate talents, cultivation level, background, or destiny.

They are all terrifyingly strong.

Even though in the last simulation, he was controlled and guided by Wei Zhi and didn't reveal his true nature.

[In the final battle, Wei Qi hesitated and couldn't make a decision.]

[Just based on his status as the Empress Da Cang's brother, and with a femme fatale like Wei Zhi around, who would bother to target him?]

Even now, Wei Qi has raised an army in Yongzhou and is wreaking havoc in the Western Regions.

[They are all safe and sound; his sister is keeping things under control in the Great Cang Court.]

Therefore, this type of person is very difficult to get rid of.

As for Han Jing, you've befriended him, but you haven't fully understood his character yet.

Just like his battlefield campaigns, he never pulls off dramatic reversals; he always crushes his opponents with overwhelming force, achieving victory after victory.

[We have no idea where his true limits are.]

Because no one can force him to reach that point.

He operates in the same way in his dealings with others.

In the last simulation, he participated in Lü Zhen's scheme, resulting in a bloodbath among the powerful clans of Da Cang Zhongting.

[Even as you were seeing Lü Zhen off on his final journey, he protected you as you left the capital.]

[From a common soldier to a military genius, he participated in the chaos, yet remained unscathed.]

It seems that whatever he decides to do, he can find a way to save himself.

Like his battlefield prowess, his strategies were equally terrifying.

I want to get rid of this person who seems upright but is actually incredibly cunning.

They are probably hard to find in this world.

【unless…… 】

You can't exactly do it yourself, can you?

[To Wei Qi, Han Jing, and the old Taoist priest: Good brothers, good master, let me see you off on your final journey before I die.]

We'll meet again in our next reincarnation.

[I'm afraid this might attract the old Taoist's divine retribution and Han Jing's killing intent as a military god.]

I treated you like a brother, but you wanted to see me off on my deathbed?

Although the first generation leader, Pang Hai, was unrestrained and flamboyant, he was still quite intelligent.

I understand what you mean immediately.

[She suggested in a low voice, "How about...we..."]

He raised his hand and gestured towards the west, waving goodbye, his gaze drifting towards Wei Qi.

The brothers didn't need to speak directly; a glance between them revealed their understanding.

The first generation leader, Xu Hui, shook his head and said, "This is not the behavior of a gentleman."

The first generation leader, Pang Hai, chuckled and said, "My elder brother isn't exactly a gentleman..."

He hadn't finished speaking.

[Suddenly, you discover that the first generation leaders, Xu Hui and Xu Kun, have both changed positions and are now standing behind you.]

[Make a move to sever all ties completely.]

The first generation leader, Pang Hai, suddenly realized what was happening, waved his hands repeatedly, scratched his head, and chuckled sheepishly.

"Hehe... Big brother... It's a misunderstanding... Let me explain... Hmm~"

A dark, murky bolt of lightning sealed his mouth shut.

Of course you wouldn't be so petty, and besides, you certainly don't consider yourself a gentleman.

With your current aura, if you were to apply for admission to a Confucian academy, study the classics, and cultivate your character and moral virtues...

[I'm afraid I'll step through the mountain gate.]

The radiant light of sages poured down from the heavens.

[Only the old Taoist priest paid the price for his own actions in the last simulation, and that kind senior sister from the Holy Sect was increasingly tolerant of his cunning.]

Only then did I accept your indescribable existence.

[Moreover, you do indeed want to pull Wei Qi, Han Jing, and the old Taoist priest out of the realm of time and cause and effect.]

[More than just a practical combat asset.]

[It's mostly due to emotional reasons.]

You tricked the old Taoist priest this time. Although he didn't say anything nice, he genuinely treats you as a close disciple.

[Even if we were to ascend to the heavens and face a mob attack from our ancestors, I would shield you from it.]

[If I were to face the old Taoist priest again without this mentor-disciple relationship...]

Sadness and melancholy are inevitable.

[If we're going to send him away, we'd also like to take Han Jing and Wei Qi with us.]

This is something that seems like a fairy tale.

【unless…… 】

A thought pops into your head, and a sudden inspiration strikes.

Xu Kun raised his cat head, his eerie green eyes noticing the glint of inspiration in your eyes.

[I understand immediately; perhaps you have some amazing ideas.]

He experienced firsthand the power of your quick wit last time.

At this very moment.

[Longhu Mountain, Celestial Master's Mansion, Ancestral Hall.]

The old Taoist priest placed the incense stick in his hand into the bronze cauldron.

Suddenly, he froze, completely stunned.

[He stiffly looked up at the table in front of him.]

[Originally, it was Zhang Xunzhi, the ancestor, who led the group in studying the memorial tablet of the murderer.]

They all turned around in horror.

They all stared intently at the old Taoist priest.
