Simulated immortality allows me to calculate talent stats.

【well. 】

The sudden loss of interest made even the familiar smile on your face lose its flavor.

[It's all because I played too many Abyss matches.]

[Faced with the youth's provocation, you were able to see through his arrogance to the bitter repression hidden beneath.]

Compared to those cunning old foxes hiding in the shadows.

You can even empathize with young people.

[It is indeed somewhat absurd.]

It's all this awful world's fault.

Exposing yourself to the world too early deprives you of superficial pleasures.

[Lu Zhen suddenly stared at you suspiciously. Why were you so eager to try just now?]

[Has it suddenly become bleak and boring?]

[Can't your popularity even last for 15 minutes?]

[That can't be right, can it?]

You met Brother Lü's strange gaze and thought he understood you.

[A sigh of nodding in reflection.]

Seeing this, Lü Zhen's lips twitched slightly.

He feels that you seem to have misunderstood something.

Your gaze falls on the young man.

[You noticed that he was trembling with fear at your mysterious and unpredictable demeanor.]

The corners of her mouth softened.

Wen Yuying raised her white left hand from her wide sleeve and touched her brow.

A dark golden sword mark appeared.

[A deep darkness surges.]

[A bizarre, ferocious, mysterious, and ethereal infinite sword realm emerges.]

[Lü Zhen's heartstrings twitched.]

The strange look in his eyes was replaced by astonishment.

Looking at you using that dark and ethereal sword realm, I thought to myself, "This is completely unnecessary."

There's really no need to make a big fuss.

Although the young man was arrogant, he hadn't committed any major offenses.

[The crime does not warrant such a punishment.]

"Brother Wen..."

Your eyes, like those of a world where swords are hidden, gaze upon him.

"Brother Lü, you're getting impatient again."

【"Well……"】

[Lü Zhen's eyes were filled with helplessness.]

[Thinking to himself, "How could he not be anxious? If you unleash your Sword Realm, the young man will be annihilated instantly."]

Even if you control the destructive power and don't kill them.

[This will likely leave an indelible shadow on the hearts of young people, causing their swordsmanship to crumble.]

Having witnessed your swordsmanship.

How could a young man possibly have the courage to wield a sword again?

But he observed your expression.

[The previous lewd jokes were gone.]

Because he trusts you, he chooses to observe.

[You look down upon the youth, and the dark, void realm of swords manifests.]

[To drag him into an endless, filthy world.]

The young man looked up, his eyes filled with terror and shock, which gradually became empty and unfocused.

[Like a raging torrent of sword energy hanging upside down from the Milky Way.]

[Within the Dark Sword Realm, it instantly dissipated, transforming into nourishment and falling into stillness.]

You floated down, hovering in mid-air.

[Her toes landed on the dark, mirror-like lake.]

As the sword's momentum crumbled, the youth gradually sank into the dark Mirror Lake.

[When you walk up to him.]

The young man, now only his upper body remaining, stiffly raised his head, his unfocused eyes looking at you.

Your flowing black robes and the mysterious aura surrounding you instilled in him a sense of despair as he gazed into the abyss.

An arrogant sword stance cannot even exist in this dark world.

[Unknown, mysterious, tainted, pure, magnificent...]

The complex and mysterious forces coalesced into a void of darkness, dragging him into the abyss.

Just when he thought he was about to face his doom.

You, however, gave a gentle smile.

Extend your hand to him.

The young man's eyes flickered as he stared blankly at the hand before him.

[Porcelain white as jade, shimmering with a subtle glow.]

[Like the only light shining in this dark and empty world.]

[It pierced through his despair.]

An overwhelming sense of disbelief welled up inside me.

"The first swordsman who taught me how to use a sword said, 'The sword should always move forward without hesitation.'"

[Your ancient voice resonates.]

"Never lose your ambition to reach the heavens just because you see how high the sky is."

The youth heard your words.

Staring blankly at your outstretched hand, a sudden surge of warmth coursed through my heart.

The unfocused pupils gradually sharpened, regaining their luster.

My gaze followed your hand.

Looking at your face.

That gentle smile, like the rising sun in the east, illuminated the endless darkness.

He raised his hand, trembling.

The look in your eyes—hesitation, confusion, wavering, disbelief.

[Hoping to escape the abyss of depravity.]

[Having gazed upon your mysterious and incomprehensible swordsmanship, I felt powerless and desperate, utterly despondent.]

He doesn't even know what level you're in.

How can I still have the courage to pursue my dreams?

You smile slightly at him and extend your hand forward.

[Smack!]

She grasped his trembling hand and pulled him out of the abyss of darkness.

"Keep chasing your dreams forward, even if it's agonizing, persevere."

"Learn from failures and test the truth in practice."

"Let's move forward."

"I look forward to traveling with you."

You pulled the youth from the dark mirror lake.

Then he released his grip, closing in on the infinite sword realm.

The deep, empty darkness receded, and golden light shone down, slightly dazzling the young man.

He gazed at your figure.

[Golden radiance bestows upon you a halo.]

[Even the sight of your black coat fluttering in the wind becomes difficult to look at directly.]

Black smoke billowed from your right sleeve.

[Defying fate, turning around and reversing the destroyed landscape.]

[The tranquil serenity before unleashing the sword's power, a return to youthful energy.]

Then he called out to Lü Zhen, who was on the pavilion.

"Lu Zhen, please have some morning tea."

【"It's disrespectful."】

Upon hearing this, Lü Zhen snapped out of his daze and responded with a wry, complex smile and a bow.

The young man stood frozen in place, as if petrified.

Only my eyes follow you.

Watching you and Lü Zhen chat and laugh as you disappeared down the bluestone path leading down the mountain.

Your words echoed in his mind.

[Scenes from before flash back.]

[By releasing the Sword Realm, he was dragged into an endless abyss of darkness.]

[As his swordplay crumbled, he lost the courage to wield the sword, and awaited a hopeless death.]

But you walked toward him.

[No death was given.]

Instead, she reached out her hand to him.

That gentle smile, like the rising sun.

[It illuminated his despair.]

"Don't let lofty goals discourage you; practice is the true test..."

The young man gazed in the direction you left, murmuring softly.

[The sword light re-condensed in his eyes.]

[Not as dazzling as before, but unwavering.]

"I will follow in your footsteps and walk alongside you."

The young man made up his mind, and the clanging of swords echoed around him.

[The blue stone path leading down the mountain through the woods.]

Lü Zhen would occasionally cast a wistful glance at you.

He didn't stop you just now because he trusted you.

But things still took an unexpected turn.

You gave the young man a trial, erasing the repression in his heart and restoring his determination to hone his swordsmanship.

"By the way, what was that person's name?"

[You suddenly asked.]

[Lü Zhen chuckled: "Does it matter?"]

"Haha, it doesn't seem that important."

[Upon hearing your laughter, Lü Zhen's expression became complex.]

You are not showing contempt, but treating everyone equally.

Like all ordinary people, you, as a young person, are willing to extend a helping hand to those who have fallen into suffering.

[Lü Zhen seemed to have understood.]

[Second enlightenment at Longchang.]
