Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Blue Silver Grass, Simulating Godhood

The simulation is still ongoing.

Standing atop the mountainside, you gaze at the distant, rolling mountains, your mind racing with thoughts of where to find your sixth spirit ring. Your spirit power has now reached level sixty-three, ready to attempt your sixth ring at any moment, but ordinary ten-thousand-year spirit beasts have lost their allure. Your goal is a hundred-thousand-year-old, or at least close to one-hundred-thousand-year-old, being worthy of your current status.

[However, 100,000-year-old soul beasts are extremely rare. The few known ones on the continent are either hiding deep within extremely dangerous forbidden areas, or their identities are sensitive, and touching them would bring a lot of trouble. Da Ming and Er Ming of the Star Dou Great Forest are targets you don't want to provoke for the time being, and they are both animal-type soul beasts, which don't match your pursuit of plant-type soul rings. Sunset Forest has been almost completely searched, and you've transplanted most of the immortal herbs around the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.]

[You pondered for a long time, then suddenly a flash of inspiration struck you: a new world.]

[You remember from the original novel you read in your past life, there was a vast continent called Sun Moon Continent beyond Douluo Continent. That continent also had many powerful spirit beasts, and even lived a Blue Silver Emperor spirit of terrifying age, which, according to later records, had grown to 190,000 years old. Based on this timeline, that Blue Silver Emperor should now be around 180,000 years old, making it the ideal target for your sixth spirit ring.]

More importantly, the Blue Silver Emperor on the Sun Moon Continent shares the same lineage as your Golden Blue Silver Emperor, making absorption incredibly smooth. Furthermore, it resides overseas, unprotected by any powerful force, unlike the hundred-thousand-year-old soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest where a single action could have far-reaching consequences. The more you considered it, the more feasible it seemed, and you immediately made your decision: to set sail for the New World.

You put away the map, determined your direction, and hurried towards Hanhai City. Unlike the previous simulation, this time your speed was several times faster. With the enhancement of your level 63 Soul Emperor cultivation, you moved across the land like a golden-green streak of light, mountains and rivers rushing past beneath your feet. The journey that would normally take several days was shortened by half.

Half a month later, you stood once again in the familiar sea breeze of Hanhai City. The salty, damp air hit you, and the harbor was still filled with masts, merchant ships and fishing boats coming and going, a scene of prosperity. You didn't rush to buy a boat and set sail, but first found a clean inn to stay in, and then headed straight for the city's largest public library.

This time you came prepared, with a clear goal. You spent a whole month searching the library, scouring every volume and book on overseas geography, nautical logs, and ancient documents. Most of the materials were records of near-shore islands and coastal routes, offering limited help in your search for a new continent, but you didn't give up. Every day, from dawn until late at night, you sat in the library, carefully turning each of the yellowed pages.

[Persistence pays off. On the evening of the twenty-seventh day, you finally discovered a crucial clue in an extremely ancient nautical logbook. It was a record left by an adventurer about two hundred years ago, mentioning that during a long voyage, he was blown off course by a storm and drifted at sea for more than forty days before unexpectedly discovering a vast, previously unrecorded landmass. On it grew many strange plants and spirit beasts completely different from those of the Douluo Continent. Due to damage to his ship and insufficient supplies, the adventurer only stayed on that continent for a few days before hastily departing, never to be found again.]

The journal contained a rudimentary hand-drawn nautical chart, marking the sailing direction, celestial references, and several ocean current characteristics. Although ancient and the details blurred, it was sufficient for you. You carefully copied that page of the chart, repeatedly comparing it with several other books on astronomy and ocean currents, finally confirming a roughly feasible route.

You close the book, let out a long breath, and a smile appears on your lips. The clues may be few, but they at least prove that the direction you've been heading is real. The New World isn't just a figment of your imagination; people set foot on that land two hundred years ago. Now, all you have to do is follow in their footsteps once more.

You left the library and returned to the port area of ​​Hanhai City. This time, you found the same old man again, spending a large sum of money to learn all the skills of sailing and various maritime knowledge from him. Afterwards, you went straight to the ship market and spent a full five hundred gold soul coins to buy a sturdy, deep-draft medium-sized sailing ship suitable for ocean voyages. You also purchased a batch of spare sails, ropes, repair tools, and other essential supplies.

[Next, you embarked on a massive purchasing spree. Fresh water, dry rations, cured meat, vegetables, medicine, flint, warm clothing, simple timber… you didn't forget a single item on the list. With the Imaginary Space, your portable interdimensional warehouse, you no longer needed to worry about storage space like last time. That vast interdimensional world could easily hold all the supplies you crammed in, even ten times more.]

[You even took the time to visit the underground trading market in Hanhai City, exchanging a few low-grade spiritual herbs taken from your Ruyi Treasure Pouch for a fine nautical chart surveying tool and a soul-guided compass. Everything is ready, except for the final touch.]

Two weeks later, all preparations were complete. You stood on the harbor dock, gazing at the brand-new sailboat before you. The sea breeze ruffled your clothes and hair, and the sun slowly rose from the eastern horizon, painting the entire sea a golden-red hue. You took a deep breath, the salty sea air filling your lungs with a scent both familiar and strange.

[In the last simulation, when you went to sea, you were merely a level 38 Soul Master, having to carefully maneuver around sea spirit beasts and fight tooth and nail to survive storms. Now, you are a level 63 Soul Emperor, protected by the Golden, Blue, and Silver Emperors, with the Imaginary Space at your side. Even ten-thousand-year-old sea spirit beasts in the deep sea might not be able to harm you. The difference before and after is beyond description.]

You untied the mooring lines, leaped onto the deck, and expertly raised the sails. The wind billowed the sails, the ship tilted slightly, and slowly sailed away from the harbor, heading towards the boundless blue sea.

The outline of Hanhai City gradually shrank behind you, eventually becoming a dark shadow where the sea and sky met, before disappearing completely. You steered the ship, your gaze fixed on the distance. The sea shimmered, and a new course slowly unfolded beneath your feet.

You whispered, "The New World, here I come."
