Simulated immortality allows me to calculate talent stats.

[The chaos in the Western Regions is becoming increasingly apparent, blood feuds and family hatreds are merely illusions. They enter the capital to pay homage to the imperial court, then turn back to the mortal world to offer prayers for life.]

[“Ten years of rebellion, upending the world, shortening his lifespan into old age, pitifully… his red hair grew.”]

[The past ten years seem to unfold before your eyes.]

[Unbeknownst to many, they had already begun to influence the world.]

Perhaps, compared to a sublime being, all living beings are like ants, not even worthy of being pawns.

But you sacrificed your own destiny to ensure ten years of peace and prosperity for humanity.

It feels worthwhile.

【but……】

Why did I stop singing at the end?

[That's true, others suffer from gray hair, but you'll have an ominous old age, a red-haired old monster.]

[Talent attribute extraction in progress...]

A familiar, profound, ethereal, mysterious, and unfathomable darkness shrouds the eyes.

[The long-term black keyword collection quest is in progress...]

[The weighting criteria are met; the remaining weights will be accumulated...]

【"bite!"】

[Starting to extract long-term black talent modifiers...]

In the soft, warm, and comforting blankets.

Wen Yu alternated between his left and right feet, curling up in the blanket.

To rediscover the lost sense of security found in the coffin.

Looking at the system's settlement page, most of it was as expected.

The only thing that will affect the next move is the effect of the new black talent modifier.

Whether the extreme burden can be extended for the duration of defying fate.

This is of great importance.

If this problem cannot be solved, in order to prolong life, we must at least wait until we have collected all the black talent modifiers for this combination.

Perhaps we will have to revise our plans and return to the path of survival.

"Ding! The black talent attribute 'Heaven' has been extracted!"

"Heaven? The heavens?"

Wen Yu witnessed the newly appeared talent attributes.

Combined with the previous characters, they form the words "Azure Sky".

Suddenly, the profound and mysterious knowledge he gained gave him a sense that he could control the heavens.

Without any hesitation, decisive and swift.

I quickly cut off this feeling.

With eyes closed and legs stretched out, she crossed them and hugged the blanket tightly.

Ignore, ignore, move, and think...

The more courageous you are in the simulation, the more stable you will be in reality.

【The black-label entry "Azure"】

[You see the talent attributes extracted during the settlement.]

[Combined with the previous combination, it forms "Azure Sky".]

The divine sense of control makes you feel as if you are holding the reins of the heavens.

You acted decisively and swiftly without any hesitation.

[Hastily testing the effects of the black talent modifiers that were already starting to combine.]

[Resonance, raising eyes, raising hands, longing...]

[Holding the reins of power over all living beings!]

[Boom!!!]

In Jingzhou, where the sun never shines, the people tremble with fear, gazing up at the sky.

[Witnessing a horrifying scene.]

The sky... has fallen.

The overwhelming impact of the scene before them instilled in those who beheld it a profound sense of insignificance and powerlessness.

[It felt as if the sky was gradually lowering, crushing down upon the world.]

You raise your hand to the sky, your fingers loosely clenched.

[It's like controlling the heavens.]

The celestial phenomena can be manipulated and altered at will, entirely at your discretion.

[Wind, thunder, rain, fire, calamities, chaos, auspicious omens, and mysterious phenomena...]

[Presented jointly.]

[Sizzle...]

The crackling sound of the electric arcs was deafening.

The old Taoist priest's black robes fluttered wildly, his eyes filled with azure lightning.

[It crushed space and appeared beside you.]

[Raise your hand and place it on your hand that's pointing upwards.]

"Nonsense!"

[A shout, accompanied by rolling thunder.]

【puff!】

Dark red blood spilled from the corner of your mouth, staining your porcelain-white face.

But you smiled.

This is the most relaxed laugh I've had in recent years.

The intense pain in my body is subsiding... no, it's being suppressed.

The dark term "inferior overthrowing superiors" evokes a powerful sense of defying fate.

[In the black entries for "Azure" and "Sky".]

The combination of these two factors resulted in suppression.

The shattered body is now bursting with life.

That is a creation of profound mystery, on par with the heavens.

At this moment, you are the heavens.

[Given the old man's unwavering strength, you withdrew your hand.]

[And I also suppressed the urge to get carried away.]

[Previously, the combined black term "Azure Heaven" was used to suppress the rebellious destiny and treacherous nature within the body.]

[To be controlled.]

[In that brief moment, chaos has likely already raged across both the human world and the heavens.]

If this continues...

[It seems we'll truly be facing countless gods and immortals, their ranks as numerous as hemp.]

The old Taoist priest used his authority over divine retribution and lightning strikes to disrupt the celestial phenomena.

[Trying to erase as much of your karma as possible between you and the heavens.]

Unfortunately, while Lei Quan was domineering, he was in charge of exterminating evil spirits and purifying impurities.

[In terms of the principle of cause and effect, the connection is not deep.]

The old Taoist priest's brow was furrowed, and talismans were inscribed in the air around him, forming a complex sequence.

The Celestial Master's Sword came from nowhere.

[He grasped her hand.]

[I held your hand down and dragged you behind me to cover myself.]

Long hair and a black robe danced wildly; his pale face was solemn, and his thunderous eyes gazed at the sky.

Your gaze fell upon the old Taoist's retreating figure, as still as a calm lake.

[I could clearly sense the resolute will to die emanating from him.]

[A pang of reluctance stirred within me, but it was quickly suppressed by calm reason.]

This situation has arisen.

[This three-pointer was a last resort because your physical condition was nearing its limit.]

The other seven parts are your calculations.

[This is the Celestial Master's Mansion. You are the current Daoist disciple, a direct disciple of the Celestial Master.]

You are Zhang Bingcheng's apprentice.

Even if the sky were to collapse, all the gods and Buddhas would lower their eyes in humility.

I believe your master will shoulder everything for you.

Reasonable calculations and unbearable emotions intertwine within you.

[Ultimately, it all turned into a sigh.]

Master, this time we're seeing you off, but next time we'll continue our master-disciple bond.

[The moment the black-labeled phrase "Azure Sky" was combined.]

You will then perceive an invisible crisis and sense of oppression.

That's why I thought of this time to send the old Taoist priest away.

Just as the old Taoist priest was preparing to fight to the death...

[Clang!]

[Within the ancestral hall, the clang of killing the master resounded.]

The sword's cry resonated with a terrifying power to obliterate all things, even cognition, concepts, and causality were utterly 'killed'.

Above the heavens, you control the heavens, deeply understanding the cause and effect of the world.

[They were all erased by the killing authority wielded by the master of death.]

The old Taoist's eyes, blazing with lightning, revealed a lingering sense of fear.

Then he turned around abruptly and unleashed a thunderbolt spell.

[A blazing bolt of lightning blasts you away, snapping dozens of ancient trees in half, and sending you crashing into a distant cliff face.]

Jagged rocks pierce the sky, billowing dust and falling maple leaves bury you.

The old Taoist priest wouldn't even glance at you.

[Facing the Ancestral Hall, bow deeply in respect.]

"Thank you for your help, Ancestor."

The sword's murmur fell silent; the ancestral hall returned to normal, unchanged from any other day.

The old Taoist straightened up, his eyes, still stung by the electric arcs, gazing at the rolling waves of the mountain forest.

A hint of annoyance showed on his pale face.

[I'm worried that in my anger I might have hit you too hard, and your body might not be able to withstand it.]

Suddenly, he turned his head to look at her.

[From the deep shadows, your figure, billowing with black smoke, emerges.]

Crimson bloodstains still remained at the corner of his mouth.

[The scale is unprecedented and magnificent.]
