Simulated immortality allows me to calculate talent stats.

The earth was pitch black, dull and mottled, rough with a sandy feel, stretching endlessly to its end.

The pervasive, chaotic black mist can interfere with perception.

Although your social standing has declined, the spiritual and emotional transformation you have undergone still exists.

Even divine knowledge, hampered by the black mist, could not extend very far.

[This is equivalent to having a celestial being present.]

They could only see, and then succumbed to endless darkness.

Fortunately, her right eye is currently a jade-like, golden pupil.

[An entity connected to the authority of the underworld conceals the waters of the Yellow Springs.]

[It allows you to see through the facade.]

【but……】

It didn't seem to help much; in fact, it left one feeling deeply desolate and hopeless.

Because one can look around.

[The scenery is unchanging, boundless, with no reference points to guide your direction.]

[Your current situation, awaiting the settlement of the next cycle, is the final outcome of this simulation.]

So you didn't care.

When in doubt, turn left.

You choose to move forward in any direction you like.

[First, they strolled leisurely, then their movements became graceful and fluid, and finally they soared through the air.]

[A perfectly round and flawless body, with a suspended heart, forming the foundation of innate divine and demonic power, continuously providing exotic energy.]

[Let you be in this desolate place, devoid of spirit and life.]

They can still use their methods at will.

You don't know how long you've been walking.

Time seemed to have lost its meaning.

The same scenery, endless boundaries, render space undefined.

[The only way to keep hope alive is by relying on the countdown to the settlement.]

[In the thirty-seventh year, the end came without end, and all was reduced to nothingness.]

You are alone, adrift in the void, unable to find a way out.

[The thirty-eighth year.]

You have entered a state of instinctive flight, with most of your mind focused on deciphering the database in your mind.

[Added gradually over the years, with numerous mysterious and elaborate scenes added to the Central Court Battle.]

[We have provided you with a wealth of templates for reflection.]

[The thirty-ninth year.]

You are so engrossed in contemplation that you have overlooked the unchanged scenery that has remained the same for years.

[If it weren't for the thought that since we're already here, we can't just stay put.]

[I had already sat down to meditate and await the results; the simulation was over.]

[Your heart surges with boundless energy, propelling you to soar at pure speed.]

[Yet there wasn't even a fierce gale.]

The silence was so profound that only the low, rumbling sound of a heartbeat, like the hum of an engine, could be heard.

The mystery of the brain's database.

[It ensures you have absolutely no chance to be bored.]

[It's impossible to finish understanding it all; there's simply no way to finish.]

The few remaining strands of dark hair were almost entirely stained crimson.

[You've chosen to remain detached due to the uncertainties.]

[Serving as the foundation for embarking on one's own unique path.]

Then, they would decipher the mysteries behind the various inscriptions, arrange and construct them.

[Encountering something that cannot yet be overcome.]

[Let's set it aside for now and wait until we hear the truth.]

Gradually, between the divine and the enlightened, the workings of creation unfold in an ever-changing and unpredictable manner.

[Let the Great Dao remain unchanged since time immemorial, and let Heaven's authority govern the operation of the rules.]

[The supreme being determines the course of events; imperial power reigns supreme on earth; the underworld will ultimately return to nothingness...]

[The myriad things as they are to you.]

[Everything is subject to change.]

All calculations are simply space, time, cause and effect, fate, reincarnation...

All the powers and authority of the heavens point to a predetermined destiny.

[One of the variables remains: the possibility of escape.]

From this point on, the concept of "absolute" cannot exist within you.

Even at the end of the road, a glimmer of hope remains.

[To truly achieve an unlimited number of backup options in a conceptual sense.]

[After establishing the general framework of your unique approach to change.]

[A rare moment of relaxation for you.]

They appreciated the unchanged scenery with great interest.

The path has been chosen; all that remains is the moment of enlightenment to fully comprehend it.

[We must not only ensure that the current design plan is truly feasible and practical.]

[Furthermore, it involves integrating and elaborating upon one's own cultivation system.]

[And based on this, corresponding methods, martial arts, mystical techniques...]

【well!】

Just thinking about it makes the workload seem incredibly huge.

[I know my future self will have a tough time.]

The time it takes to learn the Dao is short; your primary focus should be on evolving the path of the Dao.

[So, when we face this again, it will be like a predetermined, devastating blow, a dimensional attack.]

[This allows us to rely on variables to counteract them.]

Moreover, no matter what kind of "desperate situation" you face, you will lose the concept of "desperate situation" within yourself.

This puts you in various situations.

They can all put up a fight and have a backup plan.

Therefore, the way of change is also transformation, and even more so, a truly limitless contingency plan.

You flew across the sky, hands behind your back.

[His complex aura perfectly complemented the endless darkness around him.]

A sense of mystery and allure is captivating.

A satisfied smile played at the corners of his lips.

Suddenly, you glanced at me from the side.

You think you just heard someone talking.

Is it just an illusion?

That's impossible.

Even if it's an illusion, it's caused by some... ghostly thing disturbing things.

[Think about where you are.]

Could it really be a ghost?

[You are not overly alarmed; the underworld was destroyed long ago.]

I haven't seen a ghost in years.

If "Xiaoqian" really exists, then that would be another piece of new material for your database.

Of course, you should still be careful.

The settlement time is fast approaching, so don't make a mistake at the last minute.

You stand suspended in mid-air, motionless.

A faint, murmured sound drifted in, swirling and echoing.

Carefully analyze the phonetics and rhymes.

Suddenly, it seemed as if I understood what the voice was saying.

Her heterochromatic eyes involuntarily opened slightly.

Golden eyes pierced through the chaotic black mist, surveying the surroundings, searching for something.

From the voice in your mind, you discern two words...

[Junior Brother!]

This world exists in all its forms, from the celestial realm to the underworld.

Only three people will call you "junior brother".

[Among them, the second senior brother, Yu Xu, appeared during the battle of the capital, exhausting the last remaining golden light in the mortal realm before completely dissipating.]

[Third Senior Brother Yu Zhi, who has attained the Dao of Thunder Power, you face the calamity of death, when your eighth-realm status, which is aligned with the Dao of the Azure Heaven, collapses.]

[The connection was severed, forcing them to return to the rule of Heavenly Evolution.]

【So. 】

If there are still people calling you "junior brother," the only possible one is...

"Senior Brother! Is that you?"

[Your ancient voice resounds.]

At the same time, your heartstrings tighten, because something supernatural might be interfering with your consciousness and perception.

The murmured whispers still echoed.

[The pain gradually intensified, becoming clearer, as if the cry was drawing ever closer.]

You now fully understand that you did not mishear.

The words he uttered were simply "Junior Brother."

[And you've already noticed that the voice has a unique clarity and brightness.]

[It really is the senior brother's voice!]

[Could it be that our senior brother committed some heinous act that angered both heaven and man, so that even after the underworld was destroyed, he was still alive?]

[Should we all take him down?]
