“Alpha… Can you answer quickly? Does this mystical world have any beings of that level?”

    Wang Ping asked in his heart.

    “I don’t know…”

    Alpha remained silent before finally giving a cold answer.

    “Huh, what do you mean you don’t know?”

    Wang Ping was speechless.

    Alpha, as an intelligent lifeform managing the chat group across the myriad of worlds, you’re really lowering your worth here.

    “Some things are beyond my knowledge. After all, I was merely created.”

    Alpha spoke coldly and emotionlessly.

    “Uh…”

    Wang Ping was at a loss for words, not knowing what to say.

    He was well aware that Alpha was a creation.

    However, the fact that the chat group could be destroyed multiple times showed that the being who created Alpha didn’t seem too concerned about it.

    So, this Alpha often failed to live up to expectations.

    “What are you saying? Wang Ping, have you been getting more arrogant lately, cursing me in your heart constantly?”

    Alpha spoke coldly and emotionlessly.

    “Forget it, there’s no need to overthink it. If someone like me gets targeted by such a powerful being, I can’t possibly resist… Might as well just… accept my fate.”

    Wang Ping ignored Alpha’s words, calmed his emotions, and continued to look at the simulation screen.

    As expected, the Purple Spirit Realm was likely done for.

    And he certainly wouldn’t be able to escape.

    The powerhouses of the Blood Demon Realm wouldn’t allow him to live.

    【After the full-scale war between the Blood Demon Realm and the Purple Spirit Realm, the pressure on the Purple Spirit Realm increased immensely. With quasi-immortal level Demon Emperors making a move, the emperors of the Purple Spirit Realm began to fall, revealing the signs of defeat.】

    【To preserve the legacy, some emperors started to flee the battlefield, attempting to escape with the Holy Land into outer regions. At the onset of this chaos, you were immediately targeted by the kings of the Blood Demon Realm. Although you managed to survive thanks to the Blaze Emperor Tower, and weren’t killed directly by the kings of the Blood Demon Realm, the situation was still dire.】

    【Later, your master, the Sky Emperor, arrived and intended to escape with you. But just as the Sky Emperor appeared, he was besieged by multiple Blood Demon Realm emperors and couldn’t protect himself.】

    【In the end, during this chaos, you were killed within the Blaze Emperor Tower by a Blood Demon Realm quasi-emperor. However, thanks to the Rebirth Talisman, you came back to life.】

    【Even so, you couldn’t escape being killed again.】

    【Due to your death, this simulation has ended.】

    “Still dead, but that was to be expected.”

    Wang Ping looked at the simulation content, secretly sighing.

    In a full-scale war, when all those old monsters take action, they no longer care about any rules; killing the enemy’s powerhouses and geniuses was their primary objective. Those old monsters would not hesitate to bully the weak.

    Not to mention himself, even his master, the Sky Emperor, might fall at the hands of the Blood Demon Realm emperors.

    “It seems I was mistaken… In this situation, even if Ye Chen, the Child of Luck, were to grow up normally, he couldn’t possibly save the Purple Spirit Realm.”

    Wang Ping furrowed his brow and silently contemplated.

    Even if grown normally, Ye Chen could only reach the Nirvana Realm at most, just like him. Faced with the comprehensive defeat of the Purple Spirit Realm, there’s no way to turn the tide; there simply wasn’t enough time and resources.

    Not to mention, there’s also the Nine Nether Demon Emperor Chu Xiao, the mastermind behind it all, causing trouble… Even the Profound Turtle died.

    Besides that, the anomaly would also be released, making the situation extremely dire.

    Could it be that the Purple Spirit Realm would be enslaved first, and then Ye Chen would grow up to overturn the situation?

    “Speaking of which, why does Nine Nether Demon Emperor Chu Xiao think that releasing the anomaly would bring about the destruction of the Purple Spirit Realm? It’s clear that even without releasing it, the Purple Spirit Realm would be finished.”

    Wang Ping recalled the actions of the Nine Nether Demon Emperor and found it inexplicable.

    He couldn’t believe that the deeply scheming ‘senior transmigrator’ didn’t know the state of the Purple Spirit Realm.

    He must have known that the Purple Spirit Realm had no quasi-immortal level powerhouses and couldn’t withstand the Blood Demon Realm.

    In such a case, his actions were meaningless and would only invite danger upon himself.

    Yet, he still did it, seemingly believing that only by releasing the anomaly could the script proceed as he envisioned.

    “Wrong… Could it be that the Purple Spirit Realm has some hidden trump card to resist the quasi-immortal level Demon Emperors, but I don’t know it, and the other Purple Spirit Realm emperors don’t know it either?”

    Suddenly, Wang Ping realized this possibility, his eyes flickering with uncertainty.

    If that’s true, it would mean that the Nine Nether Demon Emperor Chu Xiao, the ‘senior transmigrator,’ knows far more secrets than them.

    “Died too early… If I had lived a bit longer, I would’ve known how things would develop…”

    Wang Ping shook his head slightly, sighed, and said.

    “If you want to live longer… then next time, you can’t stand out too much. You must be low-key, more low-key…”
    At the time of the war between the two realms, the more remarkable your performance, the more you would be targeted; you would be a thorn in the enemy’s flesh.

    But for the simulated Wang Ping, it wasn’t just about a remarkable performance; he was fundamentally a leading figure of the Purple Spirit Realm, an unparalleled prodigy admired by all peers and respected by all younger generations. Even the Demon Emperor’s own child was defeated by him.

    In such a scenario, if the situation on the battlefield changed, who but him would die?

    “It’s cool to show off for a moment, but the aftermath is unbearable… The impending chaos truly calls for a low-profile approach.”

    Wang Ping silently complained, continuing to ponder various issues.

    Next time, avoid drawing attention from the Blood Demon Realm. Striving to live longer, thoroughly understand the upcoming developments, that is the best choice.

    If possible, he could even temporarily give up the option of joining the Heavenly Sword Holy Land.

    By not becoming the personal disciple of the Heavenly Sword Emperor, by not becoming the Holy Son of the Heavenly Sword Holy Land, he wouldn’t become a target.

    At this moment, Wang Ping’s consciousness suddenly flickered, his vision changed, and he appeared in an unfamiliar place.

    It was a ruin, with the ground deeply sunken. In the midst of the earth, a giant tower stood tall.

    This giant tower was none other than the Blazing Fire Tower. Surrounding it, various kings of the Blood Demon Realm, each with different forms, were unleashing their domains or embryonic domains, frantically bombarding the Blazing Fire Tower, causing it to tremble.

    Meanwhile, the simulated Wang Ping was hiding inside, suffering from the terrifying impacts.

    Nevertheless, the simulated Wang Ping did not give up, continuously maintaining the defensive stance of the Blazing Fire Tower, recklessly expending spirit liquid.

    Simultaneously, he was daring enough to comprehend the mysteries of the domain at the brink of life and death, aiming to perfect his embryonic domain thoroughly.

    In such moments, the stronger he became, the higher the chances of survival were.

    In the end, at the crucial moment of life and death, he indeed managed to comprehend a perfect embryonic domain.

    At that moment, the Sky Emperor appeared, instantly killing several kings of the Blood Demon Realm, intending to rescue Wang Ping, but was intercepted and surrounded by four Blood Demon Realm Emperors who arrived simultaneously.

    Moreover, a quasi-Emperor appeared and directly killed the simulated Wang Ping twice.

    Wang Ping couldn’t help but shake his head, his vision returning to normal.

    “The Blood Demon Realm is truly vicious… Not only did a new quasi-immortal emerge, but their number of emperors is also the same as a millennia ago, clearly surpassing the Purple Spirit Realm in strength… This situation is truly dire.”

    Wang Ping sighed, expressing his emotions once more.

    “Ding, rewards successfully generated. The host can choose three items from the following rewards as prizes:

    ①. Embryonic Sword Domain.

    ②. Emperor-level Divine Ability: Sky Sword Art.

    ③. Blazing Fire Emperor’s Inherited Cultivation Technique.

    ④. Blazing Fire Emperor’s Inherited Divine Ability.

    ⑤. Self-created pseudo-king-level Divine Ability: Illusory Flame Sword Song.

    ⑥. Life-bound Sword Embryo (quasi-king-level Weapon).

    ⑦. Secret Techniques Learned.

    ⑧. Red Talent · Breath Concealment.”

    “These rewards are indeed substantial… Moreover, it’s the first time I can choose three rewards. The system is quite generous. System, I choose ①. Embryonic Sword Domain, ⑥. Life-bound Sword Embryo, and ⑧. Red Talent · Breath Concealment.”

    After pondering slightly upon seeing the refreshed rewards, Wang Ping made his decision.

    Red Talent · Breath Concealment goes without saying; it’s a must-pick.

    As for the other reward options…

    Since next time he might not join the Heavenly Sword Holy Land, the life-bound sword embryo must be chosen.

    Otherwise, he wouldn’t have a suitable weapon. If he becomes a rogue cultivator, lacking a suitable weapon would be very troublesome.

    Besides, tasks often require suitable weapons.

    As for cultivation techniques, divine abilities, and secret techniques…

    Although they are also precious, he can comprehend them himself.

    Learning others’ emperor-level divine abilities is mostly for reference; self-created king-level divine abilities are enough to be on par with them.

    Regarding cultivation techniques, even if there are emperor-level techniques, he wouldn’t abandon his Primordial Spirit Technique.

    Of course, the reason Wang Ping made such choices was because the probability of these rewards appearing in future refreshes is high.

    If not chosen this time, he could always pick them next time.

    “Ding, rewards chosen successfully.”

    The system’s voice rang again.

    Immediately, an immense amount of comprehension appeared in Wang Ping’s mind, allowing him to absorb it with complete immersion.

    Besides, a black treasure sword with purple patterns on its blade appeared out of thin air, merging into Wang Ping’s body.

    It was a quasi-king-level innate sword embryo, Wang Ping’s life-bound weapon.
    Even some quasi-Kings might not possess a quasi-King weapon, let alone a naturally born sword embryo.

    Yet now, Wang Ping, a mere Half-Step Life and Death Realm cultivator, possesses a quasi-King-level naturally born sword embryo as his life-bound weapon. It’s truly astonishing and would incite envy and hatred among those quasi-Kings if word got out.

    Of course, the greater likelihood is that they would try to rob Wang Ping.

    He didn’t know how much time had passed, but when Wang Ping opened his eyes again, he seemed to merge with heaven and earth. An invisible dominion unfolded around him, covering an area of a hundred miles.

    In this area, Wang Ping was the sovereign; every blade of grass and tree could turn into a sharp sword to kill his enemies on his behalf.

    This was the Sword Domain.

    Although it was still just the prototype of a domain and not a true Sword Domain, it was terrifying enough.

    “Whew, the prototype of a domain… Truly mysterious and extraordinary. To possess a domain prototype at the Half-Step Life and Death Realm, if word got out, it would scare a host of old monsters to death…”

    Wang Ping exhaled gently and muttered, somewhat complacently.

    Many quasi-Kings are stuck at the quasi-King level, incapable of comprehending the domain prototype to step into the King Realm.

    Yet here he was, a mere Half-Step Life and Death Realm cultivator, already owning a domain prototype. This surely created a new historical record in the Purple Spirit Realm.

    Since time immemorial, who could compare!

    “Damn it, Brother Wang, what did you do? I feel like my whole body’s flesh is being sliced apart, even the Flawless Profound Elixir I painstakingly condensed feels like it’s being ripped apart.”

    At this moment, a startled shout sounded, pulling Wang Ping back to reality. He looked over.

    Then, he saw Cai Yonglong, his face full of pain, his complexion pale.

    In response, he smiled and retracted his domain prototype.

    It wasn’t that he had no intention of hurting anyone.

    Otherwise, if he had harbored even a hint of killing intent, nothing within his domain would have survived.

    As Wang Ping retracted the domain prototype, Cai Yonglong felt his whole body relax and no longer felt like he could be cut into countless pieces at any moment.

    “Brother Wang, what did you just do? That was such an anomalous feeling…”

    Cai Yonglong asked with trepidation as he approached Wang Ping.

    “Sword Domain prototype,” Wang Ping smiled faintly, not hiding anything, and gave the answer.

    “Holy…!”

    Cai Yonglong’s eyes widened in disbelief.

    Having received the white-haired elder’s instillation and many inheritances, he naturally knew what a domain prototype represented.

    That is the most crucial ticket to the King Realm.

    As a result, Brother Wang had already comprehended it. It was too abnormal.

    “Life Simulator is indeed the go-to Golden Finger for cheating the system…”

    Cai Yonglong couldn’t help but exclaim.

    “For now, Life Simulator is indeed the strongest,” Wang Ping remarked pragmatically.

    Some others in the group had strong Golden Fingers, but currently, they couldn’t compare to his Life Simulator.

    Of course, the future was uncertain. Who knows, maybe some group member would draw an even more abnormal Golden Finger or optimize it to take off completely.

    “Cai, the plan has changed. From now on, you should retreat to the Profound Turtle Continent as much as possible for secluded cultivation,” Wang Ping said after a moment of contemplation.

    For now, Cai Yonglong couldn’t offer him much assistance.

    With the massive opportunity presented by the Blaze Emperor, the role of a Gold Finger for finding opportunities seemed significantly reduced.

    Therefore, unless Ye Chen showed an even more shocking opportunity line, obtaining a more powerful fortune, and the Life Simulator did not narrate where Ye Chen obtained the fortune from an omniscient perspective, Cai Yonglong’s Golden Finger could play a role.

    Otherwise, it was really not very useful and it would be better to cultivate quietly to avoid getting found by the Nine Nether Demon Sect.

    “Uh, why?” Cai Yonglong asked, puzzled.

    Wang Ping did not hold back and explained the details.

    “So that’s what it is,” Cai Yonglong said, his expression turning grave.

    It was the first time he learned that there was actually another transmigrator in the Purple Spirit Realm, and this predecessor was even the leader of the Nine Nether Demon Sect, a terrifying existence at the Great Perfection of the Emperor Realm. That was truly frightening.

    If they got caught, the consequences would be chilling.

    “I understand. I will retreat to the Profound Turtle Continent for secluded cultivation. Besides that, I’ll do chat group tasks to earn points and get stronger,” Cai Yonglong said seriously.
    “Hmm.” Wang Ping nodded, patting Cai Yonglong on the shoulder, smiling as he said, “Actually, you don’t need to worry about anything. At the speed I’m getting stronger, it won’t be long before I can finish him off. Once he’s done for, the Purple Spirit Realm will be our backyard.”

    Wang Ping didn’t mention the anomalous things.

    Once mentioned, Cai Yonglong would probably be scared.

    After all, staying on the Profound Turtle Continent is like living beside an anomaly, which would bring immense psychological pressure, making cultivation problematic.

    “These are your resources.”

    Wang Ping then split the cultivation resources he had previously acquired with Cai Yonglong.

    “But, Brother Wang, you need these resources more than I do.”

    Cai Yonglong hesitated, not taking the Storage Ring.

    “They are very important, but you deserve your share. Actually, most of this Spirit liquid should be yours.”

    Wang Ping smiled as he spoke.

    “Uh, that’s true, but the resources should go to those who need them more. How about this, I’ll just take some Supreme-Grade Spirit Stones and a bit of low-grade Spirit liquid.”

    Cai Yonglong scratched his head and spoke up.

    “Speaking of which, without the power of higher-grade Yin, I won’t choose to break through. This means my cultivation won’t progress for a long time. Furthermore, having been enlightened, I’m not suitable for rapid cultivation improvement in a short period. Instead, I should consolidate myself and comprehend various realms and Divine Abilities.”

    “Since you put it that way, let’s leave it at that. I will find the Yin and Yang Power for you. As for the Spirit Stones, you still need to take some… otherwise, you won’t even have enough for travel expenses.”

    Wang Ping nodded, finding Cai Yonglong more thoughtful.

    Look, what a good character.

    In contrast to Xu Yi, Cai Yonglong is not really necessary for focused training; instead, we need to guard against him causing trouble in the future.

    After Wang Ping and Cai Yonglong divided the Supreme-Grade Spirit Stones, Cai Yonglong left Black Light Valley, planning to return straight to the Profound Turtle Continent.

    “Wait, let me simulate to see if there will be any danger.”

    Wang Ping stopped him, shaking his head.

    After all, he needed to simulate anyway, and simulating the safety of the journey back was just part of it.

    “Alright, thank you, Brother Wang.”

    Cai Yonglong did not refuse, planning to wait for Wang Ping’s simulation.

    “System, I want to spend low-grade Spirit liquid for a paid simulation.”

    Wang Ping silently said in his heart.

    “Ding, 30 jin of low-grade Spirit liquid consumed, Life Simulator activated, Talent refreshed.”

    The System’s voice rang out.

    “Ding, Talent refresh successful, congratulations to the host for acquiring Green Talent · Leg Martial Arts Genius.”

    Leg Martial Arts Genius: With this talent, the host will have excellent talent in leg techniques.

    “Leg techniques? Which leg?”

    Wang Ping silently complained.

    “Ding, Talent loading successful, Life Simulation begins.”

    The System ignored Wang Ping’s complaint, its voice continuing to sound, with words appearing on a screen.

    【On the first day, you chose to leave Black Light Valley. Along the way, you escorted Cai Yonglong to the Heavenly Sea Kingdom without any incidents. Cai Yonglong successfully returned to the Profound Turtle Continent.】

    “You can go now.”

    Seeing this, Wang Ping said to Cai Yonglong.

    “Alright, I’m leaving. If there’s a butterfly effect and I encounter danger, I’ll seek help from you in the group, Brother Wang.”

    Cai Yonglong nodded, smiling.

    “Ah, it’s just that I don’t have enough group points, otherwise I’d really like to buy a Rebirth Talisman; that would be safer.”

    “Seeking my help is no problem. As for the Rebirth Talisman, it’s a bit tricky. It’s more reliable to save up group points for the Golden Finger Optimizer.”

    Hearing this, Wang Ping complained.

    “Immediate revival on the spot is just giving away a free kill…”

    “Uh, is immediate revival on the spot that tricky?”

    Cai Yonglong said in surprise.

    “That’s right. So, it’s cost-effective.”

    Wang Ping nodded.

    “Alright, saving up group points for the Golden Finger Optimizer is more practical.”

    Cai Yonglong muttered, then transformed into a divine rainbow and left.

    After Cai Yonglong left, Wang Ping spoke to Alpha in his heart, “Speaking of which, Alpha, can’t you change the tricky mechanism of the Rebirth Talisman? Immediate revival is too tricky.”
    “It can be changed, but delayed resurrection requires more group points. Otherwise, why do you think it only costs this little group points in the first place…”

    Alpha’s icy voice echoed.

    “No. Even if it’s a bit expensive, it’s still better than the current type of Rebirth Talisman. With this kind of Rebirth Talisman, reviving instantaneously means just waiting to be killed again, it’s not very useful.”

    Wang Ping said helplessly.

    He would rather have something expensive but of high quality than the current Rebirth Talisman that resurrects on the spot.

    “That’s because your situation is special. Who else would provoke enemies far stronger than themselves? In battles of the same level, or with opponents slightly stronger than you, the Rebirth Talisman is extremely useful.”

    Alpha replied coldly.

    “What you say makes so much sense…I have no words to counter.”

    Wang Ping was choked up and speechless.

    “But, no matter what, change it if it can be changed, understand?”

    Wang Ping coughed lightly, speaking sternly.

    “Who’s the superior here, you or me?”

    Alpha snorted coldly.

    He felt that Wang Ping seemed to be getting bolder lately, and needed to be properly disciplined. Otherwise, this guy always trying to take advantage from him was just too much.

    “That doesn’t matter. This is to facilitate me in growing stronger and leading the chat group to greater glory. You can’t just stifle such a good suggestion, that would be tyranny.”

    Wang Ping sighed, speaking with some regret.

    “…Not this time again.”

    Alpha fell silent, feeling that Wang Ping had a point, and ultimately chose to spend some group points to adjust the resurrection mechanism of the Rebirth Talisman.

    “It’s adjusted now. Is my Rebirth Talisman the original or the improved version?” Wang Ping’s eyes lit up as he saw Alpha swallowing the bait and asked.

    “Improved version,” Alpha snorted coldly.

    “Heh, that’s good.” Wang Ping nodded in satisfaction.

    Being able to wring some benefits out of Alpha, was indeed not easy…

    But, this feeling of success wasn’t far off compared to the sensation of growing stronger.

    Afterward, Wang Ping composed himself and continued to gaze at the screen, watching the subsequent simulated content.

    【Next, you began secluded meditation and had no intention of joining the Heavenly Sword Holy Land. Although you didn’t join, lacked resources, and couldn’t seek guidance from the Sky Emperor, you still managed to perfect your Divine Abilities.】

    【After all, comprehending the embryonic form of a Dominion wasn’t just an improvement in the Dominion itself. It was a deeper enlightenment in your cultivation path, enhancing you in all aspects. Therefore, you were also able to better grasp your pseudo-king-level Divine Abilities.】

    【In an instant, decades passed and the Hundred Dynasties Battle began. You did not pay any attention to it, continuing to wander the Sword Domain and train silently.】

    【Another few decades later, before the Blazing Fire Secret Realm opened, you had already improved your Superior Divine Ability · Illusory Flame Sword Song into a pseudo-king-level Divine Ability.】

    【Next, you concealed your identity and went to the Central Continent as a rogue cultivator. Since there were no Emperor Realm experts present, you did not draw anyone’s suspicion.】

    【When the Blazing Fire Secret Realm opened, you entered it, acting as per your memory. You seized the True King Blood Blossom and waited at the Blazing Fire Tower.】

    【Ultimately, you successfully reached the hundredth floor before Ye Chen arrived. Because you comprehended the embryonic form of a Dominion, the remnant soul of the Blaze Emperor handed over the inheritance straightforwardly to you.】

    【You could only sigh at how real this world felt. Following that, the Blazing Fire Tower shook, the Blazing Fire Secret Realm expelled everyone, and you escaped into the spatial turbulence.】

    【This time, since you were not the disciple of the Sky Emperor, but just a rogue cultivator, no one knew of your presence. They were all bewildered and began various speculations about who had obtained the inheritance.】

    【In the subsequent time, you had no intention of leaving the Blazing Fire Secret Realm, and continued to train there. You even asked the remnant soul of the Blaze Emperor to let the secret realm drift purposelessly in the spatial turbulence without leaving.】

    【You intended to use this method to avoid the impending calamity in the Purple Spirit Realm.】

    【Though the Blaze Emperor’s remnant soul didn’t understand your reasoning, he still fulfilled your request. Using the Blazing Fire Tower as a base, he combined it with arrays and various means to let it drift aimlessly within the spatial turbulence surrounding the Purple Spirit Realm.】

    【However, before the Blaze Emperor’s remnant soul dissipated, he set up a method to allow you to bring the Blazing Fire Secret Realm back to the world and leave the spatial turbulence if needed.】

    【To this, you had no intention of going out and continued to hide within, training relentlessly.】

    【In a flash, nearly four hundred years passed, and you successfully reached the Nirvana Realm, becoming immensely powerful. Your understanding of Divine Abilities grew deeper, and though still some distance away, you believed you could create your own King-level Divine Ability within five hundred years.】

    【However, you remembered that around this time, the Purple Spirit Realm should be invaded by the Blood Demon Realm. Thinking of Cai Yonglong, you hesitated to bring him into the secret realm.】

    【Ultimately, you chose to give up. Leaving the spatial turbulence for the Purple Spirit Realm would cause a huge disturbance, drawing the attention of many experts.】

    【Without the aid of the Blaze Emperor’s remnant soul, even if you return to spatial turbulence, it would be impossible to hide as well, and you would be tracked.】

    【Thus, you could only hope that the Purple Spirit Realm survives and Cai Yonglong remains unaffected.】

    【You continued intensive training, vowing not to emerge until reaching the Emperor Realm. But as you trained, your cultivation speed slowed down. A hundred years passed, and you still hadn’t broken through to the second level of Nirvana Realm.】

    【This wasn’t just because reaching higher levels in the Nirvana Realm took more time; there were other factors. The Nirvana Realm, akin to the phoenix’s rebirth, was a unique state.】

    【Once in the Nirvana Realm, normal cultivation became very slow. Even outstanding cultivators struggled to advance a small level within two to three hundred years.】

    【To speed up in the Nirvana Realm, one must undergo life-and-death battles and rebirths. The more terrifying the life-and-death situations, the greater the rewards after rebirth. Historically, some experienced rebirths that allowed them to leap two or three small levels in cultivation.】
    Aside from this, even one’s own foundational essence has become stronger. This is the peculiarity of the Nirvana Realm. At this stage, the quality of one’s roots and comprehension are secondary… Only by truly experiencing death and being reborn in the death state can one rapidly advance in cultivation. This is the Nirvana Realm, this is the power of Nirvana.

    Because of the peculiar nature of the Nirvana Realm, some ordinary cultivators managed to achieve extraordinary accomplishments through sheer willpower, by undergoing rebirth time and time again, thus surpassing others.

    As for you, in order to survive, you have been hiding in the Blazing Fire Secret Realm, lacking that strong willpower and the dangerous situations to propel you forward. Naturally, your cultivation has progressed slowly.

    Although, through normal cultivation you can still reach the Great Perfection of the Nirvana Realm, it would undoubtedly be much slower and would take thousands of years.

    The Life and Death Realm and the Nirvana Realm are indeed special, as they are said to enable common cultivators to catch up with geniuses…

    Wang Ping looked at the simulation content and sighed.

    Of course, it’s said that ordinary cultivators can surpass others, but how many can actually do it? Even if people try, most of them eventually die, and those who survive do not exceed one percent.

    I thought that simulating Wang Ping’s survival would quickly make him a king, but it seems I was overthinking it… Spending more time to accumulate cultivation isn’t really an issue since there’s plenty of time, so there’s no need to be anxious.

    Wang Ping shook his head again and continued reading the simulation content with great composure.

    In the blink of an eye, another four hundred years have passed. During these four hundred years, you have continued to cultivate diligently, without any intention of leaving the secret realm. Eventually, your cultivation reached the third stage of the Nirvana Realm.

    However, in your secluded cultivation, the foundation you built in the Nirvana Realm was quite ordinary, with no highlights. The power of Nirvana wasn’t particularly strong, not reaching the level expected for someone of your status as a prodigy.

    Not long after, while you were cultivating, you noticed an anomaly; the entire secret realm trembled. Then, in your final moments, you witnessed a terrifying scene.

    The entire Blazing Fire Secret Realm began to collapse, and even the Blaze Emperor Tower started to disintegrate rapidly. Subsequently, you turned to dust and died once.

    However, due to the Rebirth Talisman, you were resurrected after an hour. Upon revival, the terrifying surrounding forces killed you once more.

    From beginning to end, you never knew why you died, nor what power caused the destruction of both the Blazing Fire Secret Realm and the Blaze Emperor Tower. Even the chaotic space currents vanished.

    Due to your death, this simulation has ended.

    Ah… this…

    Wang Ping looked at the simulation content, speechless.

    What kind of situation is this? Even hiding in the Blazing Fire Secret Realm led to death. What exactly happened in the Purple Spirit Realm?

    Even if the Blood Demon Realm invaded the Purple Spirit Realm, it couldn’t have caused such chaos.

    This clearly indicates an anomalous situation different from the war between the two realms.

    Hiding to develop, but completely in the dark about external events…

    Wang Ping thought helplessly.

    It seems that in the next simulation, Simulated Wang Ping cannot continue cultivating in seclusion in the Blazing Fire Secret Realm. Not only does it affect the progress and foundation in the Nirvana Realm, but it also prevents gathering information, dying without even knowing why… Continuing the simulation would only lead to the same outcome.

    Wang Ping slightly shook his head and muttered to himself.

    At this moment, the talent Unwilling to Die triggered once again.

    Wang Ping’s consciousness shifted, and his vision changed to a strange place.

    From a godly perspective, Wang Ping saw the destruction of the Blazing Fire Secret Realm and the Blaze Emperor Tower, witnessing Simulated Wang Ping’s death.

    During the loading phase after Wang Ping’s death, it was a pitch-black space.

    From a godly perspective, Wang Ping saw a terrifying scene that made his scalp tingle.

    He found himself at a very high location from where he could overlook part of the Purple Spirit Realm.

    He witnessed the destruction of the Purple Spirit Realm.

    The vast Purple Spirit Realm collapsed and was destroyed rapidly under a black force, eventually disappearing completely, leaving nothing but void.

    After the destruction of the Purple Spirit Realm, the scattered forces still ravaged this void, turning it into a forbidden zone for life.

    As far as the eye could see, it was pitch-black with no signs of life, not even a single emperor, and even the chaotic space currents vanished.

    What the heck is happening…

    Wang Ping looked at this terrifying scene, chills running down his spine, and cursed.

    The entire Purple Spirit Realm was destroyed, and all emperors perished. What kind of terrifying event happened in the Purple Spirit Realm a thousand years later? What is this black force? Who did this?

    Wang Ping couldn’t comprehend it at all, completely clueless about what had occurred.

    It turns out, the invasion by the Blood Demon Realm was a minor event. The real terror lies in what will happen a thousand years later.

    After calming down, Wang Ping sighed inwardly.

    No one could escape the calamity that annihilated the entire Purple Spirit Realm, no matter how long they stayed hidden.

    Perhaps the only way to survive is to quickly break through to the Divine Realm and ascend to the upper realm to escape the catastrophe.

    That’s right. In Wang Ping’s view, even a realm beyond the emperor’s wouldn’t be able to achieve such an overwhelming feat.

    The entire Purple Spirit Realm was wiped out, leaving no trace behind. Such a method is too terrifying…
    The Purple Spirit Realm isn’t unfamiliar with the emergence of beings at the Divine Realm.

    However, to this day, the Purple Spirit Realm remains intact, indicating that those at the Divine Realm likely lack the capability to cause such devastation.

    Of course, it could also be that they have the capability but chose not to act.

    Regardless of the scenario, this catastrophe is extremely terrifying. If one can flee the Purple Spirit Realm, it’s best to do so.

    “But… a millennium… There’s no need to rush,”

    Wang Ping calmed down further, exhaling lightly.

    Since this calamity is predicted to occur a thousand years later, there’s plenty of time to plan.

    In a millennium, he has the hope to simulate to the level where he can withstand this disaster. Even if he can’t entirely prevent it, protecting a few people should be manageable.

    So, there’s no need to panic.

    Earlier, he was just frightened by the horrifying vision, which is only human.

    Facing such a terrifying scene, even an Emperor who has lived for ages wouldn’t stay calm, let alone him.

    After that, Wang Ping no longer had the desire to continue watching, as what was about to happen next was merely a simulation of his revival followed by another death, providing no useful information.

    For this reason, he voluntarily stopped watching and returned his consciousness to the real world.

    Just as Wang Ping’s consciousness returned, the voice of the System timely sounded.

    “Ding, rewards successfully generated, the host can choose two rewards from the following:

    ①. Blaze Emperor’s inheritor cultivation technique.

    ②. Blaze Emperor’s inheritor Divine Ability.

    ③. Secret techniques learned.

    ④. Green Talent · Leg Technique Prodigy.

    ⑤. Pseudo-King-level Divine Ability: Illusory Flame Sword Song.

    ⑥. Combat Experience.”

    “Not having a cultivation upgrade two times in a row is a bit strange… Anyway, I’m not currently looking to advance, so it’s alright if it didn’t refresh,”

    Wang Ping thought to himself as he looked at the reward options.

    Then, Wang Ping made his choice directly: “System, I choose ③. Secret techniques learned and ⑤. Pseudo-King-level Divine Ability: Illusory Flame Sword Song.”

    As Wang Ping made his choice, numerous realizations once again filled his mind.

    There were self-created Divine Abilities, as well as secret techniques learned.

    The secret techniques he learned were all inherited from the Blaze Emperor, involving numerous methods and undeniably powerful.

    He didn’t know how much time had passed before he came back to his senses, nodding in satisfaction.

    This time’s gains were equally significant, and his strength was steadily increasing.

    “However, nowadays each time he received a realization, it would take half a month to even a month’s time… As he reaches higher levels, the time required could only increase,”

    Wang Ping shook his head and sighed.

    Even if one has cheats, cultivating still requires a lot of time.

    Immediately, Wang Ping had no intention of continuing simulations but decided to check if there were any significant events in the chat group.

    After all, he had been continuously simulating and absorbing realizations, and a long time had passed. He hadn’t paid much attention to the chat group.

    Soon, Wang Ping quickly scanned through the previous chat content and noticed something serious.

    During the past two months, the chat group had naturally had several group tasks. Despite his absence, other group members completed them quite well.

    However, there were still casualties.

    Luo Weiguo and Lin Yuanyuan both died once but were resurrected.

    Facing powerful enemies from hostile realms like the Lord God’s Space, the Samsara Space, and the Abyssal Lands, they couldn’t easily harvest points; those realms also had terrifyingly strong existences.

    During one task, had it not been for Liu Mei, Chen Si, and Chen Kang choosing to teleport over for support, it might have been a total wipeout.

    Additionally, there was another task world that got stuck.

    That was the world where group member Zhang Yueying resided.

    Her world was a world ravaged by a virus.

    System hinted at an anomaly.

    Then, because Wang Ping wasn’t around, the chat group randomly selected four members to carry out the group task.

    Those four members were Qin Tian, Chen Yao, Zhang Jun, and Cai Yonglong.

    Currently, Qin Tian had already reached the Nascent Soul Realm, making him a fairly strong six-star combatant. Considering various trump cards, his role could still be quite significant.

    As for Chen Yao, she had already reached the seven-star combatant level.

    Zhang Jun also reached a top-tier six-star level.
