Simulated immortality allows me to calculate talent stats.

The Human Emperor established the Great Cang and set the rules.

[Regarding the heavens, celestial beings are forbidden from remaining on Earth.]

What about the underworld and the netherworld?

According to Yin Qian, the soul returns to the underworld after death, a rule from ancient times.

Is it also due to the restrictions set by the Human Emperor?

If, after death, the soul does not enter the underworld, in what state does it exist?

[Disappeared like smoke? Utterly annihilated?]

[You reviewed the details of the last simulation and discovered...]

Within the territory of the Great Cang Dynasty, there exist top-tier forces with various cultivation systems.

[Many cunning and scheming individuals plot against the world, making their moves among mortals.]

A thousand-year-old family clan, a ten-thousand-year-old dynasty, oppressing hundreds of millions of people.

But there is one thing to be thankful for.

Within the territory of the Great Cang Dynasty, there are no demons causing trouble, no evil spirits harming people, and no ghosts taking lives.

You must know that demons and monsters truly exist in this world.

[You witnessed my ten-year escape journey to the Western Regions.]

Most of them are not particularly strong.

However, for ordinary people, it could cause widespread casualties.

【therefore.】

[The fact that the soul does not enter the underworld after death can, in a sense, be seen as the underworld being sealed off.]

Is this related to the prohibition against demons and monsters within the Great Cang territory?

You didn't press Yin Qian further.

Everyone here is intelligent; what needs to be said, what can be said, and what one wants to say, need no further explanation. The answers will be clear.

Asking won't help if they don't want to tell you.

You've brought the topic back to the power of the Prefect.

"Since the underworld is merely a remnant of ancient times, what is there to fear, no matter how powerful the ruler's authority may be?"

Yin Qian's expression was solemn and dignified, exuding an air of respect.

"Whether the underworld is sealed off or destroyed, since it involves power, it cannot be treated with utmost care."

Yin Qian raised his hand, and a magnificent, sublime, awe-inspiring light flickered within.

[Your pupils reflect the halo of light, and you sense a familiar, mysterious feeling.]

That is the tangible manifestation of Wehrmacht.

[Similarities to you, Xiang Che, and Pang Hai.]

【but…… 】

Your eyes are deep and calm, yet hold a hint of awe.

[This materialized aura, though extremely faint, is still terrifying in its essence.]

[This is the most powerful one you have ever witnessed.]

Even Xiang Che at the Void Breaking Realm was far inferior.

What suddenly occurred to you?

This is probably the contingency plan the late emperor left for Yin Qian.

[A faint light outlined mysterious runes, like the decree of the Human Emperor, commanding the space itself.]

Yin Qian reached into the void and retrieved an item.

The talisman then dissipated, the spatial fluctuations subsided, and the aura of power receded.

[Your broken-mirror eyes witnessed and recorded the entire process.]

[Then they crammed it all into the database.]

[He analyzed it silently in his mind.]

It seems the legacy left by the late emperor is hidden within this awe-inspiring aura.

[Using powerful symbols to command space and open a passage.]

Only then can one access the space where the late emperor's legacy was stored.

It must be said that the late emperor went to great lengths for Yin Qian, his only son.

No need to overthink it.

This aura is undoubtedly deeply bound to Yin Qian; only he can control it.

The legacy left behind is deeply bound to Yin Qian.

[This prevented the entrusted minister from becoming greedy and usurping the throne.]

After all, people's hearts are unpredictable.

The late emperor, whose throne was usurped by his own brother, would naturally try his best to avoid this.

[After you record the data.]

[Look at the item in Yin Qian's hand.]

That's a jade mouthpiece.

[Spherical in shape, with a clear, black jade surface, engraved with intricate and beautiful gilded patterns.]

[Its mere existence commands a profound sense of sublimity.]

"Is this the power of the Prefect?"

[You didn't stand on ceremony either; with a slight flick of your fingertip, the chaotic power drew the jade pendant into your hand.]

After careful examination.

You suddenly feel that this thing looks somewhat familiar.

It's like... an eyeball.

[Based on black jade, with gilded outlines of blood vessels and nerves, condensing into golden pupils.]

Yin Qian doesn't mind your rudeness.

As the conversation progressed, the aloofness and formality of a national reserve asset gradually faded.

It seems like I've returned to my youthful days.

You notice this change, yet you remain indifferent.

Yin Qian believed he could win you over by evoking empathy in this way.

That would be far too naive.

In your eyes, the standard for "one of us" is what happens after you send someone away.

Can the golden attribute "Send the Last Journey" be used to summon this character?

Yin Qian wanted to be one of them.

Unless I send you away once.

【At worst, you can just take him with you in ranked matches next time you simulate a game.】

Anyway, it won't make a difference if one more is needed.

Yin Qian also understood that these superficial methods would be of no use to you.

[It's just that I've become too calculating and shrewd over the years, and it's become second nature.]

He looked at the jade bridle in your hand.

He shook his head and said, "This is not authority, but rather an item related to the power of the Prefect."

Your brow furrowed slightly.

[The broken mirror's insight revealed nothing special beyond sensing a lofty status.]

Yin Qian continued, "The sublimity and magnificence of power are almost impossible to exist in the form of a physical vessel."

"Only by possessing the same level of cultivation and rank, and a high degree of compatibility, can one gain control over it."

[Upon hearing this, you pictured the old Taoist priest wielding the power of heavenly punishment and lightning.]

The manifestation of thunder power is a golden talisman.

It does not exist in a physical form.

"So what's the use of this thing?"

Yin Qian shook his head again: "I don't know either. If you hadn't brought it up, I would have almost forgotten about it."

You look at him expressionlessly.

Suddenly, I had an urge to draw my sword and rob someone.

[These words were truly infuriating, yet Yin Qian spoke them as if they were perfectly reasonable, not as if he were deliberately showing off.]

[One can only sigh.]

The late emperor's legacy still holds too much authority.

You can't help but wonder if they emptied the entire Great Cang royal family back then.

[Then you understand why Yin Qian wasn't interested in the jade pendant.]

Because he had the highest pursuit when it came to power.

That is earthly imperial power.

That was the goal he had been longing for and plotting to achieve.

The power of the Underworld Lord is a remnant of ancient times; the Underworld itself has been either imprisoned or destroyed.

How could he possibly care?

No wonder Yin Qian was so generous and casual, directly handing you this jade title related to the power of the Prefect.

So, it turns out they looked down on it.

【well……】

[You remembered the list your senior had given you.]

[The Power of the Prefect (or Clues)]

Looking back now, those parentheses and the three words within them are really quite disappointing.

But it's okay.

Yin Qian's personal treasury is so full.

I'll try digging there sometime when I have the chance.

There's plenty of time; there's no need to rush.

You smoothly put the jade pendant away, then looked at Yin Qian.

Their eyes spoke volumes.

[Anything else?]

[Quickly take it out.]
