Simulated immortality allows me to calculate talent stats.

Your thoughts race, filled with details and speculation.

[To fill the gaps in your wisdom, preventing you from understanding the mysteries of the classics.]

[Destiny, fate, fortune, unusual phenomena, and other innate mysteries.]

[Yin Qian didn't explicitly say so, and even the order of terms like fate, destiny, and fortune in his speech followed your rhetoric.]

But you can be pretty sure.

The key to everything lies in luck and fortune.

[The first one to appear.]

It should also be considered a matter of luck or fortune.

[Born with great fortune, able to remain in the world through it.]

This is something you already knew.

But in whose hands does the fate of humanity reside?

The Great Azure Royal Family, rulers of the mortal realm, the Human Emperor.

The rules governing the tripartite division of power between the Human Emperor and the Celestial Emperor restrict the existence of celestial beings, yet leave a loophole: the flow of destiny.

The purpose is to ensure that the Great Cang royal family possesses unparalleled combat power.

Various factions and cultivation systems.

No matter how extraordinary or unparalleled a prodigy may appear.

Once you reach the realm of celestial beings, you must ascend to immortality.

Conversely, the Great Cang royal family can rely on its destiny to ensure the survival of celestial beings loyal to the Great Cang royal family.

[To solidify the foundation for ten thousand years.]

This is a perfect example of double standards.

[If you were in charge, you might even create more extreme rules.]

For example, unless one is true to oneself, supernatural powers and supernatural phenomena are forbidden in the human world, and spiritual practice is prohibited.

[Take firm control of the path of cultivation within your own hands.]

Of course, if such a set of rules were truly established, even the most powerful emperor would likely be unable to withstand the overwhelming tide.

Just like now.

[Above the heavens, destiny, fate, and extraordinary phenomena are cast upon the mortal realm.]

Regardless of Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, martial arts, or immortality...

Among the various factions, none dared to speak loudly without one or two Celestial Beings in command.

[Furthermore, you asked Wei Zhi some questions in the Tomb of the God of War.]

[Can the mortal realm break through the void at this moment?]

Wei Zhi's answer was no.

[Compare this to the later stages of the previous simulation, focusing on Xiang Che, Chen Chaomang, Gong Si, Pei Qingyu, and others.]

They all stepped into the Void Realm and remained in the mortal world.

This also means...

The rules governing the tripartite balance of power are gradually spiraling out of control.

In an instant, your thoughts raced, connecting all the previous clues.

Then I thought of my senior's forbidden research.

You are not aware of the specific details.

[We can probably deduce this from the achievements of Chen Chaomang.]

[Yu Ji used fate, destiny, and fortune to create the extraordinary phenomenon of a dragon and python swallowing the sky for Chen Chaomang.]

This might involve breaking the rules of the Human Emperor.

【even……】

A slight sense of dread crept into your heart.

[Even if the void were to be shattered in the future, it would remain in the mortal realm; this breach was opened by Yu Ji!]

From a timeline perspective, everything makes sense and follows logically.

[Tsk...]

[You feel a sense of melancholy.]

The longer you stay in this ghostly world, the deeper you can dig.

[You'll discover even more unbelievable clues and signs.]

And these chaotic and complex clues.

Yet, in the end, it manages to weave a complete and logically consistent web.

[This leaves you speechless.]

Yin Qian didn't interrupt your thoughts, but scrutinized your eyes and expression.

Pay attention to all the changes in details.

[Finally, an answer was reached.]

Even though he deliberately concealed it and didn't reveal many clues.

[This only provides you with the terms of the transaction.]

Yet you still managed to deduce the deeper secrets from the smallest clues.

This level of insight is truly astonishing.

No wonder it grew into a massive mountain range stretching across the Western Regions in just ten years.

[A moment later.]

[I noticed you had composed yourself.]

Yin Qian once again assumed the posture of the Crown Prince, his demeanor dignified and solemn.

"What you requested has been delivered. As agreed, a peace agreement has been reached."

【"Um……"】

[Your casual, perfunctory response.]

Yin Qian's brow furrowed slightly, indicating a hint of dissatisfaction with your attitude.

Seeing this, you chuckled and waved your hand, saying, "Don't worry, I'm always a person of my word. Let's turn hostility into friendship."

"All that fighting and killing is pointless."

Yin Qian then withdrew the cold glint from his eyes.

Suddenly, something comes to mind.

[He added, "It seems something is still missing."]

Yin Qian naturally understood what you meant.

He shook his head, and said thoughtfully, "I don't have any fragments of the Emperor's Jade Seal. I'll use something else instead."

The fragments of the Emperor's Jade Seal are of no interest to you.

This information indicates that the Western Regions and the Tranquil Sword Pavilion have reached a cooperation agreement.

Then, you reached out and asked him for something in return.

Yin Qian couldn't help but chuckle.

He sighed, "Things aren't ready yet, but you'll know when the time comes."

Your brow furrowed slightly, your gaze deep and unfathomable, exuding a chilling mystery.

Yin Qian smiled sincerely: "Don't worry, I'm not trying to delay or renege on my debt."

"This gift is my belated reply to those sixteen years."

【"reply?"】

Your eyes look suspicious.

[Through the insightful eyes of the broken mirror, one can discern the sincerity in his words.]

But the meaning behind those words is puzzling.

Yin Qian stood with his hands behind his back, gazing into the distance, as if he had traversed time and space to witness that era once more.

[A clear, resonant voice: "Regarding the murder you suffered back then, I know you still harbor resentment."]

"I'll pay for it for you."

[Now that I've said this much, you probably understand that what he replaced must be related to the Yongzhou Sword Palace.]

Could it be that I could kill the murderer who killed you back then?

You think it's impossible.

[Not to mention that person possessed the sublime and magnificent celestial swordplay, having stepped into the realm of celestial beings.]

Even if they are just ordinary disciples of the Yongzhou Sword Palace.

Even Yin Qian wouldn't kill him.

This is not a scheme by those in power.

So you suddenly became interested.

How will Yin Qian handle this situation in a way that allows you to vent your anger while also gaining acceptance from the Yongzhou Sword Palace?

This will not affect the cooperative relationship between the two parties.

Yin Qian did not elaborate, maintaining an air of mystery.

You accept this sense of expectation.

Having obtained what he desired, Yin Qian was unwilling to reveal any further details even when asked.

You have no interest in continuing this idle chatter with him.

[She turned gracefully, her dark robe fluttering lightly.]

[He waved casually at him with his back turned, said no, and strolled away.]

Yin Qian quietly watched your retreating figure.

[The doors remained closed for a long time afterward, never being retracted.]

You have completely disrupted the original plans for the Western Regions.

Even if a peace agreement is reached now and the fighting stops, it will be difficult to secretly develop new forces.

Wen Fei waited quietly outside the palace gate.

[Upon seeing you emerge, a gentle yet alluring smile appeared on her face.]

"How did the talks go?"

"Peace has been agreed upon."

【"That's good."】

Wen Fei smiled gently, then suddenly spoke.

"Can I ask you a question?"

You glance sideways in acknowledgment.

"You... are you a demon from beyond the realm?"
