279 – The Ninth Seven-colored Talent! Breakthrough to Quasi-Immortal!

‘Only five digits initially, and only four digits after development? This…’

Upon hearing Alpha’s response, Wang Ping’s expression turned strange.

‘You want to say it’s too weak?’

Alpha’s voice turned cold, somewhat irritated.

‘I didn’t say that at all.’ Wang Ping said with utter seriousness.

‘You thought it. Don’t forget, I can eavesdrop on your inner thoughts.’ Alpha snorted coldly.

‘Don’t underestimate the five digits. The range within each digit is too vast; you can’t compare it using the realms of a fantasy world. Just as the six digits include Supremes, Quasi-Emperors, Emperors, and Quasi-Immortals. The lower limit of five digits is True Immortal, while the upper limit is Quasi-Immortal King.’

Paused for a moment, Alpha further explained.

‘Alright, it does seem a bit ridiculous.’

Wang Ping couldn’t argue.

Indeed, the disparity between digits is far greater than the difference in major realms in the fantasy world; they can’t be generalized.

‘Four digits, the threshold being the Immortal King? That’s truly terrifying.’ Wang Ping sighed. ‘So, the leader of our Second-Generation Chat Group is a four-digit level?’

‘He hasn’t reached that level yet; he’s still within the five digits. It’s just that five digits are divided into entry-level, elite, legendary, and extreme. His spiritual level is at the extreme of the five digits, which in terms of cultivation, is equivalent to Quasi-Immortal King.’

Alpha’s voice was icy as she explained.

‘Five-digit extreme… it’s a bit weaker than I imagined, but it also makes sense.’

Wang Ping’s eyes flickered as he nodded.

It’s only been a few thousand years since the disbandment of the Second-Generation Chat Group. It’s impossible for the leader of the Second-Generation Chat Group to have undergone as significant a change in strength as the first generation.

Of course, it can’t be ruled out that he participated in some terrifying game, drastically boosting his strength. But even then, he’d only reach the entry level of the four digits at most.

It was also said that if Wang Ping could grow to the level of the Immortal King, he could battle the leader of the Second-Generation Chat Group and even kill him.

‘Don’t become complacent. As long as he’s within the city of Allheavens Playground, you won’t be able to kill him forcibly. Unless he agrees to a game with you, or you become a Demon King.’

Alpha sensed Wang Ping’s thoughts and reminded him.

‘Demon King, what’s that?’

Wang Ping frowned.

‘A Demon King is a special entity with the authority to forcibly engage others in a game with themselves. Once targeted by a Demon King, it’s extremely dangerous. However, becoming a Demon King is very difficult and requires passing a highly dangerous game to earn the title.’

As an interpreter, Alpha was undoubtedly very qualified. Seeing Wang Ping’s confusion, she immediately explained.

‘However, while a Demon King has such authority, it also becomes a target of many forces due to the danger of this power. If there’s a chance to kill a Demon King, they won’t miss it. This is true for numbers below three-digits. In the three digits, gods, demons, immortals, and anomalies are all no different.’

Upon hearing this, Wang Ping’s eyes gleamed, and he couldn’t help but sigh, ‘Demon King, a special existence in Allheavens Playground, quite awe-inspiring. If possible, I’d like to become a Demon King someday. Of course, the prerequisite is having enough combat power; otherwise, I wouldn’t court death.’

Wang Ping’s muttering left Alpha speechless.

With Wang Ping’s current state, wanting to become a Demon King was nothing but a pipe dream.

‘Alright, since I’m not in Allheavens Playground yet, many things can’t be asked. Once there, I’ll ask if there’s anything I don’t understand.’

Wang Ping shook his head, collected his thoughts, and prepared to continue his life simulation.

He had killed so many dark emperors and dark quasi-immortals, plundering their treasures. Now, he was as rich as could be. The top-grade divine sources were too numerous to count, and all kinds of rare treasures were countless.

‘By the way, can these items be traded in Allheavens Playground? By logic, they should be, right? Even if you go to Allheavens Playground, your power automatically changes to a spiritual level, entering this special system. But these treasures shouldn’t become useless, right?’

Wang Ping thought of this matter and inquired.

‘Not for sale. The currency of Allheavens Playground is the world origin, and these currencies can only be used to trade goods produced within Allheavens Playground. External items can be brought in for personal use but can’t be traded.’

Alpha provided the answer.

‘If it were possible, I’d have told you to do so long ago.’

‘What a lousy place, not allowing external items for trade?’

Wang Ping was speechless.

‘Many people have complained about this point. However, rules are rules and can’t be helped. Unless you become someone who can set the rules, you can’t change anything. Unfortunately, once you reach that level, you won’t care about such insignificant matters.’

Alpha’s voice was cold.

‘Well, if it doesn’t work, it doesn’t work. At worst, I’ll trade these resources with the chat group members, who can earn the world origin through group tasks, and then exchange it for my resources.’

Wang Ping smacked his lips and could only say this.

“Next, let’s continue with the life simulation. With so many resources, I want to keep refreshing for seven-colored talents. At the same time, I need to explore the last two forbidden lands in the Upper Realm through various simulations.”

Wang Ping then pondered for a moment, thinking silently.

With his current strength, the Upper Realm no longer held many secrets for him.

Only places like the forbidden land of Great Origin and the Realm of Life and Death still made him wary, containing secrets he couldn’t fully grasp.

Especially the Realm of Life and Death. Even with Wang Ping’s current perspective, he was still deeply apprehensive about it.

That eerie place… It’s not a situation where an Emperor has a slim chance of survival; even a quasi-immortal going there would surely die, with no chance of survival.

“I wonder what secrets the Realm of Life and Death hides, and if Senior Leng Yue knows any of its secrets.”

Wang Ping sighed.

“I can try asking him in the simulation. If he doesn’t answer in the simulation, then I’ll ask him in reality.”

“System, I want to do a Paid Simulation.”

With that, Wang Ping collected his thoughts and silently voiced his command in his mind.

“Ding, consuming 200 billion jin of top-grade divine sources, life simulator starting, talents refreshing.”

The voice of the System rang out.

“200 billion jin? Just a drizzle…”

Nowadays, Wang Ping was abundantly wealthy. Hearing this amount, which had once made his face twitch, he now responded with a dismissive laugh.

At this moment, the System’s voice rang out again.

“Ding, talent refresh successful. Congratulations to the host for obtaining a red talent: I Love Beast Taming.”

Red Talent: I Love Beast Taming: The host’s talent in beast taming will be enhanced; the more you love it, the greater the enhancement.

“Another red talent, huh? But it’s nothing special, just a stepping stone…”

Wang Ping said nonchalantly.

“Ding, talent selection successful, life simulation starting.”

The System’s voice continued, and Wang Ping’s consciousness blurred as he entered an immersive simulation state.

Then, the screen appeared, and familiar text emerged.

【Day One, you aim to find a place to break through to the quasi-immortal level. To achieve this, you choose to use the seven-colored talent ‘God of Teleportation’ to teleport to another world.】

【Unfortunately, your luck was poor, and you failed to teleport to another world.】

【Seeing this, you felt a bit helpless and decided to use brute force, intending to break through the world barrier and forcibly head to another world to avoid the pursuit of the transmigrator senior Leng Yue.】

【Unfortunately, just as you were taking action, Leng Yue made a move, found you, and tried to kill you.】

【Obviously, your anomalous behavior caught Leng Yue’s attention. Even without the Heavenly Calculator waking up, he could deduce you were no longer the original.】

【Thus, you were quite helpless and chose to put all your effort into fighting a world-shaking battle with Leng Yue. Unfortunately, under Leng Yue’s true power, you still perished.】

【With your death, this simulation ends.】

The text simulation stopped here, and Wang Ping’s consciousness returned to the real world.

This time, the simulation contained too little content and offered no insight at all.

“This is too miserable.”

Wang Ping smiled wryly.

It seems that to continue simulating breakthroughs, senior transmigrator Leng Yue stands in his way like a final boss. Running away proactively is useless.

Perhaps only borrowing the seven-colored talent ‘God of Escape’ could offer a chance at survival.

Otherwise, all efforts would lead to death.

“Ding, reward generation successful, the host can choose one of the following rewards:

①. Red Talent: I Love Beast Taming.

②. One Random Supreme Artifact.”

“System, I choose ②. One Random Supreme Artifact.”

Looking at these meager rewards, Wang Ping made a casual choice.

“I don’t believe it. If it doesn’t work once, I’ll try a hundred times. I don’t believe I won’t succeed in teleporting to another world at least once.”

Wang Ping took a deep breath and continued the simulation.

However, the following simulations left Wang Ping completely numb.

Because after simulating dozens of times in a row, he never once refreshed a golden talent, let alone a seven-colored talent.

Most importantly, in these simulations, he never successfully teleported to another world.

The result was that no matter how he struggled, he was easily killed by Leng Yue.

As long as he had the intention of running away, Leng Yue would deliver a painful blow.

One could say his luck was incredibly rotten, and the simulated Wang Ping died too miserably.

If these were just warm-ups for a better result, there have been far too many… It should rebound now, allowing me to have an unbelievable stroke of luck!

“One last time, if my luck is still that bad, I can really give up on simulations… One simulation uses up 20 billion jins of top-grade divine sources… Even the richest cannot sustain such consumption.”

Wang Ping thought somewhat painfully.

These resources should be used to trade for world origins held by other group members in the chat group, gaining the most profit, rather than this meaningless simulation consumption.

With such consumption, even if he could refresh a seven-colored talent, it wouldn’t be worth it—he’d be losing money.

Thus, even if this paid simulation could refresh a seven-colored talent, he wouldn’t continue simulating.

He couldn’t help it; the cost-performance ratio was too low.

He would rather wait for the Life Simulator to optimize itself before doing any paid simulations again.

“Ding, consuming 20 billion jins of top-grade divine sources, Life Simulator activated, refreshing talents…”

The System’s voice rang out again.

“Ding, talent refresh successful. Congratulations to the Host for successfully refreshing a seven-colored talent: Resurrection of the Dead; and a purple talent: Blood Drinking Sword.”

Seven-Colored Talent: Resurrection of the Dead: With this talent, the host can revive after death, and the time of rebirth can be defined by oneself. Additionally, this talent can be used on others, reviving them.

PS: This talent can only be used below the True Immortal realm. If struck by a special attack or a powerful ability or tool at the True Immortal level, resurrection is not possible.

Finally, this talent is a one-time use. Please use it cautiously.

Purple Talent: Blood Drinking Sword:

“Ah, finally, a seven-colored talent, and it’s the one I wanted…”

Wang Ping’s eyes gleamed with joy as he looked at the refreshed seven-colored talent.

The seven-colored talent Flashes of Ephemeral Splendor that Wang Ping possessed was incredibly powerful, allowing his strength to surge, but the side effects were too big… He was troubled by the lack of a revival method…

This was truly what he desired, and it felt very satisfying.

“Your luck is good… The effect of this seven-colored talent reaches the pinnacle of revival items in the six-digit value range. After all, it’s only when you’re hit by a special attack of True Immortal level that you can’t revive… This means that if a True Immortal doesn’t have special means, you can revive after being killed. This feature isn’t something ordinary six-digit revival items can achieve.”

At this moment, Alpha’s voice rang out.

“As expected, items also have detailed classifications… It seems this seven-colored talent is stronger than I thought… Like Flashes of Ephemeral Splendor, it’s also a top-tier seven-colored talent. The only pity is that it’s a one-time talent…”

Wang Ping’s eyes were bright as he lamented and somewhat regretfully said.

“Don’t be too greedy… Revival abilities and items are more precious than other abilities and items of the same level, usually being one-time use. If this talent wasn’t one-time and could be used continuously, you could sell it at a sky-high price.”

Alpha said somewhat speechlessly.

“A revival item that can be used repeatedly… Many important figures from major forces would buy it for their valued juniors as a life-saving amulet.”

“I was just lamenting…”

Wang Ping chuckled and quickly changed the topic.

Then, Wang Ping said in his heart, “System, I choose Seven-Colored Talent: Resurrection of the Dead.”

“Ding, talent selection successful. Life simulation begins.”

The System’s voice rang out again, and Wang Ping felt his consciousness blur, entering a fully immersive simulation state again.

Then, the screen appeared, and familiar texts floated up.

[On the first day, you once again chose to use Seven-Colored Talent: God of Teleportation, hoping to teleport to another world.]

[It must be said, this time you were extremely fortunate to successfully teleport to another world. And this world happens to be one you are somewhat familiar with – it’s the world where the demon quasi-immortals reside.]

[Because of this, you are very pleased. In such a world, you can finally cultivate in peace, attempting to break through to the quasi-immortal level. As long as you reach the quasi-immortal level, you have the confidence to challenge Leng Yue, the senior transmigrator.]

[After all, if you break through to the quasi-immortal level and then use the seven-colored talent: Flashes of Ephemeral Splendor, it might bridge the gap in the immortal path. Even if it can’t fully bridge it, you shouldn’t be easily slaughtered.]

Aside from this, you also plan to diligently comprehend the Dao in this world, aiming to glean insights into the Chaos Immortal Dao and the Chaos Immortal Scripture. Although you feel that comprehending the Chaos Immortal Dao might be impossible, this does not hinder your ambition.

With this mindset, you randomly find a place to seclude yourself and begin your efforts to comprehend the Dao.

In the blink of an eye, fifteen hundred years have passed. You successfully broke through to the quasi-immortal level by refining the divine sources produced by the Essence Devouring Pearl. With your breakthrough to the quasi-immortal level, terrifying phenomena appeared in this world, shocking many cultivators.

However, you paid no attention to this. After your initial joy, you settled your cultivation and diligently sought to comprehend the Chaos Immortal Dao and the Chaos Immortal Scripture.

In the blink of an eye, around 200,000 years have passed. During this time, you successfully condensed your own quasi-emperor weapon. However, you still failed to comprehend the Chaos Immortal Dao and the Chaos Immortal Scripture, which troubled you greatly.

You could only sigh, realizing that in the Lower Realm, trying to comprehend the Immortal Scriptures and the Immortal Dao is incredibly difficult. You think that Leng Yue might have been able to create the Immortal Scripture and comprehend the Immortal Dao due to living for over a billion years or perhaps because of the Allheavens Playground.

Subsequently, the Source of Darkness in this world also became anomalous, with numerous dark beings appearing and causing calamities. In response, you sneered and destroyed them all. Eventually, you even rushed into the Source of Darkness and killed the Dark Emperor and dark quasi-immortals who were causing chaos.

After dealing with these matters, you decisively chose to return to the original Upper Realm. In your view, continuing to seek Dao enlightenment in this world is meaningless; perhaps only by battling Leng Yue and experiencing the power of the Dao in combat can you transcend limits and comprehend the Chaos Immortal Dao.

Although you do not know whether the current Upper Realm has been refined like in previous simulations, you still decided to risk returning.

When you returned to the original Upper Realm, you discovered that the Upper Realm had not been refined. At this moment, the Upper Realm was far more prosperous than in the previous simulation. Talents like Gu Xuan, without various sinister plots, had finally grown up safely. Some relatively weaker talents were either Supremes or quasi-emperors. Talents like Gu Xuan had already proved the Dao to become emperors, shining brightly.

However, when you returned, the chaotic phenomena reappeared, making them all look dim by comparison.

The Immortal Palace Quasi-Immortal and the Gu Family Quasi-Immortal were also quite surprised, not expecting that you, who had disappeared for many years, would suddenly appear and radiate quasi-immortal phenomena.

You quietly stood in the starry sky, waiting for Leng Yue, this transcending predecessor, to appear for a battle.

Soon, Leng Yue appeared. Seeing that you had already broken through to the quasi-immortal level, his expression remained calm and unsurprised. He merely said indifferently that you came back to seek death in order to pursue the Immortal Dao?

You laughed freely, stating that you indeed wanted to seek Dao and thus returned. However, you didn’t think that returning meant seeking death. After saying this, you curiously looked at Leng Yue and asked whether only one Chaos Body could emerge in each era of the Lower Realms under the Immortal Domain.

Leng Yue nodded, stating that within the Upper Realm and its affiliated planes, only one Chaos Body could be born per era. Sometimes, not even one would be born in an era. However, when a Chaos Body was born in an era, no other Chaos Body could appear in either the Immortal Domain or the lower planes within that era.

Upon hearing this, you nodded in understanding. No wonder Leng Yue always wanted to kill you. The reason he had not refined the Upper Realm this time was that he was waiting for your return. Only after your death could he activate the refining formation, otherwise, all efforts would be in vain.

You then teased Leng Yue, this transcending predecessor, saying that if you didn’t return, wouldn’t he never be able to obtain the Chaos Body or refine the Upper Realm?

Leng Yue indifferently replied that if you didn’t return, he would come to find you, and the outcome would be the same.

You felt speechless, thinking that Leng Yue probably truly had a way to find you, meaning it would be useless to flee to other worlds. Perhaps Leng Yue had not sought you out earlier simply because he didn’t want to bother yet.

However, this was quite normal. Having plotted for so long, it would be strange if he had no backup plans; it wouldn’t be so easy for simulated Wang Ping or other cultivators to stop him.

Then, without further ado, you started the battle.

As soon as the battle began, you showcased your quasi-immortal cultivation and instantly used the seven-colored talent ‘Flashes of Ephemeral Splendor’ to fight with all your might. At this moment, your strength reached its peak.

Although the power of ‘Flashes of Ephemeral Splendor’ was less terrifying because you had reached the quasi-immortal level, not boosting your strength directly into the Immortal realm, it was still far superior to purely quasi-immortal cultivation.

Leng Yue, too, was quite surprised and became serious, using the power of the Immortal Dao from the start to clash with you head-on.

It must be said that the current you was indeed powerful. Even when facing Leng Yue, you were not instantly killed as in the previous encounter. Despite going all out and having a critical-hit talent, you were still at a distinct disadvantage but could still fiercely battle Leng Yue.

Leng Yue had to commend your performance, admitting that your growth was indeed astonishing and worthy of one with infinite potential. Of course, this simulation wasn’t of the real you, but your performance was still enough.

While Leng Yue praised you, the Immortal Palace Quasi-Immortal and the Gu Family Quasi-Immortal were overwhelmingly shocked. The battle was too terrifying; both you and Leng Yue unleashed forces that made them question their understanding of life. Was it really possible for quasi-immortals to reach such power? Was this not the power of those who had become immortals?

You paid no attention to their reactions, continuing your battle with Leng Yue, striving to understand his Immortal Dao power and integrate it into yourself, hoping to grasp the Dao.

Unfortunately, despite gaining immense insights, you still failed. In this battle, you were ultimately defeated, dying from the side effects of the ‘Flashes of Ephemeral Splendor’ talent. There was no other way; the duration was too short. Even if the battle had continued, your eventual fate would have been defeat; the side effects simply hastened your death… perhaps dying this way was more dignified.

However, due to your seven-colored talent ‘Revival of the Dead,’ you came back to life. As you revived, Leng Yue didn’t immediately attack but calmly stated that he would give you ten thousand years to comprehend the Dao. If you couldn’t, he wouldn’t show any mercy.

You took a deep breath, understanding that Leng Yue’s attitude towards you had subtly changed, even if you were a simulated Wang Ping.

Thus, seizing the opportunity, you chose to go into seclusion again, seeking to comprehend the Dao from the insights gained in the intense battle, hoping to grasp the Chaos Immortal Dao.

Regrettably, after ten thousand years, you had gained some insights but still failed to comprehend the Chaos Immortal Dao. With a helpless smile, you felt that comprehending the Dao and stepping into the Immortal realm in this era, where the Immortal Dao did not exist, was extremely difficult.

As you were feeling bitter, Leng Yue appeared again, disappointed. He coldly stated that you could now die.

Upon hearing this, you laughed serenely, facing life and death calmly, and chose to commit suicide.

With your death, this simulation came to an end.

The text simulation stopped at this point. Numerous insights and images appeared in Wang Ping’s mind, and his figure appeared in the place where the simulated Wang Ping had last gone into seclusion.

“Still failed, what a pity,” Wang Ping murmured regretfully.

In the Life Simulation, the simulated Wang Ping ultimately had too few cards to play, relying only on himself.

However, in this Lower Realm without the Dao of Immortality, comprehending the Dao was easier said than done—it would take at least millions or even tens of millions of years.

The simulated Wang Ping had too little time to comprehend the Dao.

Of course, Wang Ping would not blame Leng Yue, this senior transmigrator, for he had been truly good to him.

This time, regarding the attitude towards the simulated Wang Ping, it was still acceptable, giving so much time for survival.

Just as Wang Ping was filled with countless emotions, his consciousness flickered, his vision shifted, and he returned to the real world.

Then, the System’s voice followed.

“Ding, the rewards have been successfully generated. The host can choose one of the following rewards:
①. Seven-colored talent: Resurrection of the Dead.
②. Purple talent: Blood Drinking Sword.
③. A random quasi-emperor weapon.”

“System, I choose ①. Seven-colored talent: Resurrection of the Dead.”

After glancing at the rewards list, Wang Ping quickly made his choice.

Soon, information about the Seven-colored talent: Resurrection of the Dead and its usage method appeared in Wang Ping’s mind.

Next, Wang Ping had no intention of continuing with simulations as it would be meaningless and a waste of resources, with too low a cost-effectiveness.

Instead of piling up understandings through simulations, it would be better to think of a way in Allheavens Playground.

Wang Ping then opened the chat group, planning to earn some group points in the group, and then head to Allheavens Playground.

After all, he was currently impoverished.

If he went to Allheavens Playground and couldn’t even afford a little of the world’s origin, it would be too tragic.

Perhaps, he wouldn’t even have the qualification to participate in some games to earn rewards.

“It’s been a long time since I opened the chat group page.”

Wang Ping looked at the chat group page he had summoned and felt a myriad of emotions.

Ever since his growth speed skyrocketed, the presence of the chat group had drastically decreased.

After all, he used to participate in group tasks and brag with the group members.

But after optimizing the Life Simulator, becoming stronger rapidly, and leaving the other group members far behind, he seldom bragged with them.

There was no helping it, the immersive simulation was too time-consuming; he didn’t even have time to brag, let alone participate in tasks.

On this point, it was thanks to Alpha who pampered him and assigned all tasks to other group members.

Otherwise, Wang Ping would have been quite troubled.

On this note, one couldn’t help but mention Lin Yuanyuan, the diligent model worker, who had taken on too many responsibilities for Wang Ping.

“Hmm, as a reward, let’s give her more resources and also let her take down an Emperor-level figure. I think the Emperor of Slaughter is quite suitable.”

Wang Ping rubbed his chin, pondering silently.

In reality, he still had some people to deal with.

Whether it was the Azure Bamboo Emperor or the Qingyu Quasi-Emperor, based on their actions in Life Simulation or to repay the kindness of the Black Abyss Demon Sovereign, he had to teach them a lesson.

As for figures like the Emperor of Slaughter, there was no need to mention more.

The chat group and Slaughter Paradise were sworn enemies, and the Emperor of Slaughter had meddled with him before; he was definitely on the must-kill list, making him the best candidate for Lin Yuanyuan to exhaust.

“Yuanyuan, you are indeed fortunate.”

Wang Ping chuckled and then appeared in the chat group.

However, he wasn’t just idly chatting but instead put many valuable items in the store and directly mentioned all group members, informing them that there were good things for sale.

Then, Wang Ping closed the chat page.

As for the various upheavals and flattery in the chat group, Wang Ping didn’t bother to look.

The praise from group members was no longer capable of bringing a sense of accomplishment to Wang Ping.

After all, he was now someone even quasi-immortals had to praise… the flattery from group members wasn’t worth much.

“Yuanyuan, come over, I have something to discuss with you.”

Next, Wang Ping privately chatted with Lin Yuanyuan, directly starting a video call, and said.

“Brother Wang, I will be right there.”

Hearing this, Lin Yuanyuan didn’t wait for Wang Ping to say what it was about, but immediately responded without hesitation, opting to forcibly leave her current task and transferred back.
