156 – Slaying the King! Obtaining the Emperor’s Tower!
by spirapiraWhen Wang Ping finished explaining the simulation content, Cai Yonglong and the others finally understood why Wang Ping said Wu Jun’s Golden Finger played a crucial role.
Without his Golden Finger, the group immunity to the virus was like everyone possessed Zhang Yueying’s Golden Finger ability, which was quite exaggerated.
Although it’s unclear if this group immunity to the virus is permanent, has a duration, or can only immunize against this specific virus, all possibilities are terrifying.
After all, this is immunity at the level of the rules!
“If I had such a Golden Finger, becoming a woman for half a year, or even permanently, wouldn’t be unacceptable.”
Zhang Jun couldn’t help but mutter.
“Hey, newcomer Ding Xuan says he has something to say, this pervert actually wishes to become a woman!”
Cai Yonglong retorted with a strange look.
Upon hearing this, everyone rolled their eyes.
For a moment, the atmosphere became quite relaxed.
“Brother Wang, if possible, try not to kill all of humanity. After all, I can’t leave this world.”
At this point, Zhang Yueying hesitated for a moment and couldn’t help but speak.
“Don’t worry, we already have a perfect strategy this time.”
Wang Ping smiled, reassuring her.
Just kidding, this time even the strategy was laid out, the difficulty had been reduced to an almost easy level.
“Harboring hope so that humanity no longer fears. With the power we display, we can make many not afraid, but how strong this effect can be is unknown. Even that optimistic little girl didn’t escape being infected.”
Zhang Jun frowned and said.
“Or, let’s just use a grand array to erase all of humanity’s memories.”
Qin Tian suggested.
“Although this result is slightly better than killing them, it’s not much better.”
Chen Yao frowned and said.
“I think I have a solution.”
Wang Ping stroked his chin and looked at the reward list of the Paid Simulation.
This Blue Talent·Light of Hope has some effect on boosting morale.
However, Wang Ping initially thought this talent was limited to that, with no significant use, but now it seems otherwise.
This talent can exhibit remarkable effects in worlds with a purely idealistic worldview, like Ultraman.
Even in this world, it might have significant effects, possibly enabling all humanity to harbor hope and no longer fear.
After all, this talent can even affect many powerful cultivators, let alone its influence on ordinary people.
Therefore, as long as he appears with a savior-like identity and fully utilizes this Blue Talent, perhaps he can prevent humanity from becoming mutated beasts.
Moreover, it might cleanse the minds of humanity in this world.
“Let’s give it a try.”
Wang Ping silently thought in his heart.
Then, he finally made a choice from the list of rewards.
“System, I choose ②. Blue Talent·Light of Hope and ⑦. King-level Divine Ability: Devour Space.”
As soon as Wang Ping made his choice, numerous insights emerged in his mind.
This made Wang Ping close his eyes to absorb these insights seriously.
Seeing Wang Ping suddenly sitting down to cultivate with his eyes closed, the others looked at each other but had no intention of disturbing him. They began to set up an array to prevent any anomalies here from being discovered.
In a blink of an eye, more than half a month passed. When the others were somewhat anxious, Wang Ping finally finished absorbing the insights and gained complete control over his King-level Divine Ability: Devour Space.
King-level Divine Ability: Devour Space is a King-level Divine Ability he created by combining space, the Five Elements, illusion, and Sword Dao, much stronger than ordinary King-level Divine Abilities.
“Whether it’s Divine Abilities or insights into proto-domains, there are too many, and absorbing them requires time. Moreover, the time needed in the future will only increase. This makes it unsuitable to claim such rewards during missions as it could lead to trouble.”
Wang Ping silently thought in his heart.
Then, without dwelling much, Wang Ping calmed his mind and opened his eyes.
As soon as Wang Ping opened his eyes, everyone looked over in unison.
Having waited for over half a month, they were somewhat nervous.
After all, the anomaly is bound to trigger the virus in the future.
If delayed until then, although they could still complete the group task, humanity would be doomed.
Although they didn’t care about the lives of those scumbags, if the lives of innocent people could be saved, they would choose to rescue them.
In the simulation, their merciless actions were a form of self-hypnosis, but if possible, they didn’t want to brainwash themselves into becoming heartless killing machines.
“Alright. I’ll use the ability one more time to see if this method works…”
Wang Ping nodded to the group and said.
“Phew, that’s great…”
Seeing Wang Ping say this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Cai Yonglong, on the other hand, looked at Wang Ping thoughtfully, guessing that Wang Ping might have refreshed a certain talent through the Life Simulator or obtained some secret technique.
Next, Wang Ping didn’t say much and continued with the Free Simulation.
“Ding, Life Simulator activated, Free Simulation begins…”
The System’s voice sounded again, and the familiar screen appeared with words floating up.
【On the first day, you took action, took control of the human leadership, and began to proclaim the doctrine that a deity would descend to save humanity.】
【As the doctrine spread, all of humanity became aware of it, and their reactions varied. After spreading the doctrine of the deity’s impending descent, you started to act.】
【In a global live broadcast, you descended on time, showcasing divine brilliance and killing a fifth-level mutant beast like a savior, shocking all of humanity.】
【At this moment, all of humanity believed in the existence of a deity who had truly descended to save them. Most of humanity, who had been in despair, became fervent and became your followers, their hearts filled with hope.】
【This triggered the effect of Blue Talent·Light of Hope, multiplying the hope in their hearts and filling them with light, eliminating any trace of fear.】
【As all this happened, the anomaly also sensed something amiss and began to unleash its power, wanting to infect all of humanity.】
【However, most humans held hope in their hearts and no longer had fear. Thus, the virus’s infectivity was greatly weakened within them, leading to no significant changes. Only a few dark-hearted individuals who did not believe in the deity and had no hope were still infected and turned into mutants.】
【But these individuals were rapidly eliminated by the pre-prepared armies, mutant children, and people like Chen Yao scattered across the regions.】
【In such a situation, the anomaly became completely terrified and wanted to escape this world. Although theoretically, it needed to eradicate all of humanity to leave this world, it was possible to forcefully leave by paying a certain price.】
【However, this cost was significant, and the escape would take some time and cause a considerable commotion.】
【In the end, it chose to gamble everything and forcibly escape this world. A giant dark pillar of light appeared in this world, piercing through the world barrier.】
【This massive commotion was naturally noticed by you. You quickly rushed over and decisively used the King-level Divine Ability: Devour Space when the anomaly was about to escape, forcibly piercing through the dark pillar of light and shattering the anomaly within it.】
【In this way, you completed the Group mission and chose to return.】
【Due to your return, this simulation ends.】
Seeing the simulation content on the screen, the corners of Wang Ping’s mouth slightly lifted, finally revealing a satisfied smile.
This was the correct way to clear the stage.
Of course, the foundation of all this was based on his Life Simulator being able to simulate the future and also on Wu Jun’s Golden Finger, which triggered beneficial possibilities for them.
Without them, this Group mission would be a dead archive, very difficult to clear.
No matter how many members in the chat group came, it wouldn’t be enough to stop them.
“One can only say, an anomaly is indeed an anomaly; its difficulty far surpasses that of the Reincarnators and the monsters from the Abyssal Lands. There’s no helping it; the anomaly’s abilities are of too high a level, impossible to defend against.”
Wang Ping couldn’t help but sigh.
“Brother Wang, how did it go?”
Seeing Wang Ping’s satisfied smile and hearing his sigh, Qin Tian and the others couldn’t wait to ask.
In response, Wang Ping smiled and directly told them the entire simulation content.
For a moment, everyone showed expressions of joy.
This round could be considered a perfect clearance.
Moreover, the anomaly conveniently cleared out a wave of scumbags; truly perfect.
“Alright then, let’s start taking action; we can’t keep delaying.”
Cai Yonglong exhaled and said seriously.
Hearing this, everyone exchanged glances and nodded seriously.
Next, everyone went their separate ways, starting to act according to the plans in the simulation.
They could execute the strategy perfectly within the simulator, let alone now.
The plan was perfect.
Control human leadership, propagate the doctrine of the deity’s descent.
Then, live broadcast the killing of a fifth-level mutant beast.
Doing so would successfully fill the majority of humanity with hope.
In the end, the anomaly, like in the future simulation, panicked, paid a price, and chose to forcibly escape.
“It has appeared…”
Wang Ping sneered as he looked at the towering black pillar that was shattering space.
Without the Life Simulator, he wouldn’t have known the anomaly had such a move.
Now that he knew, it would be easier to deal with anomalies in the future.
As thoughts surged in Wang Ping’s mind, spatial fluctuations emerged around him, and he disappeared, reappearing at the location of the black pillar at an incredible speed.
Then, Wang Ping directly summoned the quasi-King level sword embryo, the Illusory Sword, from within his body.
His overwhelming magic power was channeled into the Illusory Sword, its blade enveloped in a layer of purple flames, producing a resonant sword cry.
“Divine Ability: Devour Space!”
Wang Ping shouted coldly, slashing out with his sword. Blinding purple flame sword energy burst forth, twisting into an elusive vortex within the space, capable of inducing bizarre illusions, as if space itself was being burned and devoured.
This feeling was incredibly strange…
The anomaly within the pitch-black pillar gazed at Wang Ping’s terrifying attack, his face full of despair, speechless.
He could never have imagined that Wang Ping would be able to immune to his ability, even when using power, without being instantly infected into a monster, and additionally giving all of humanity hope, significantly slowing the rate of infection.
In the next instant, Wang Ping’s attack shattered the pitch-black pillar, slicing the anomaly within into nothingness, resulting in absolute death.
With that, the black pillar gradually became thinner, eventually disappearing.
The space of Earth also gradually returned to normal.
However, the various intents and divine abilities in the sky lingered for a long time.
If Wang Ping ignored it, these powers could persist for thousands of years, transforming this area into a forbidden zone for humans, even affecting Earth’s magnetic field and ecology.
For this, Wang Ping decided to be thorough and erase this energy as well.
Although, on the Purple Spirit Realm, the residual power of this divine ability would undoubtedly become a land of opportunity, helping many geniuses comprehend intents and divine abilities.
Even for many Nirvana Realm cultivators in the Purple Spirit Realm, it would be a fortuitous opportunity and beneficial.
But for this ordinary Earth, it was a disaster.
Next, after retracting his life-bound sword embryo, the Illusory Sword, Wang Ping’s figure moved and disappeared, leaving only humanity still in shock, unable to recover for a long time.
However, one thing was certain: all of humanity would be even more fervent towards Wang Ping, recognizing him as the true god, the world’s only true deity!
“Brother Wang, we received the task completion notification!”
When Wang Ping returned, Qin Tian and others said excitedly.
“And this time, the group task rewards are really rich. Even someone like me, who just came along for the ride, got a reward of 500,000 group points.”
“I got 500,000 too,” Cai Yonglong said.
“Me too,” Chen Yao and Zhang Jun said.
“I got a million,” Zhang Yueying said dazedly.
“Wu Jun and I were not the task executors, so the group task points were shared by you. In other words, the total number of group task points this time is three million.”
Wang Ping’s eyes flickered as he spoke.
One had to admit, this anomaly was quite troublesome and indeed worth the price.
Of course, past anomalies were also tricky, but the rewards were too often blacked out by Alpha.
“Brother Wang, I’ll give you all my million group points. After all, without you, we couldn’t have completed the group task. Not to mention, you lent me such powerful strength.”
Zhang Yueying first declared.
Listening to Zhang Yueying, Qin Tian and the others also came to their senses.
Without Wang Ping spending to support this world, they wouldn’t have completed the group task and would have lost their lives here.
Thus, they should give their group points to Wang Ping.
“Let’s distribute the group points according to contribution value. You all did some work, and besides, Wu Jun’s Golden Finger also played a huge role. Zhang Yueying, regarding the power I lent you, that’s a separate matter. You can repay me the group points later after you earn them,” Wang Ping said without the intention of accepting everything.
“Alright,” Zhang Yueying nodded.
Cai Yonglong and the others exchanged glances, feeling emotional. Brother Wang is Brother Wang, so fair and just…
After the discussion, Wang Ping received a dividend of 1.8 million group points.
Wu Jun received a dividend of 600,000 group points.
Zhang Yueying, due to her role in the simulation, received a dividend of 200,000 group points.
As for Chen Yao, Cai Yonglong, Zhang Jun, and Qin Tian, because they were mostly just drifting along, they each received a participation award of 100,000 group points.
Of course, risking their lives to participate in the mission also deservedly earns them a reward.
Although they were all unlucky enough to be randomly selected by the System, rules are still needed. Originally, the participation prize was 200,000; now, it’s only 100,000, much less.
This result was their own request.
“Alright, the group mission is complete, we should head back. Remember to clean your bodies before leaving, don’t bring the virus to other worlds.”
Wang Ping looked at everyone and reminded them.
“Although unless it’s an anomalous ability, the chat group has a hidden function to automatically clean extraterrestrial viruses from the body, it’s still necessary to ensure that no special virus-infected items are carried.”
“We naturally understand this.”
Zhang Jun nodded.
This virus is terrifying; if brought to other worlds, it would be disastrous.
Especially considering his world already had a zombie virus, introducing another anomaly-created JY Virus would create some monstrous hybrid… Just thinking about it made his scalp tingle.
“Then, I will leave first.”
Wang Ping nodded and chose to return without saying more.
As for the continuing virus existence in this world, and ordinary people constantly increasing their infection rates over time, he didn’t care.
Not to mention, even if he cared, it was useless.
In the end, he believed in the wisdom of future generations, trusting that a great scientist would solve the problem.
When Wang Ping returned to his world, he received two red envelopes.
One was from Wu Jun, and one from Zhang Yueying.
Wu Jun was returning his 200,000 group points.
As for Zhang Yueying, she was also repaying her debt.
However, Zhang Yueying knew that 200,000 group points weren’t enough to pay for the Light God Orb, so she promised to continue repaying in the future.
Wang Ping didn’t mind.
The chat group was very lively after that, with the anomalous JY Virus causing a heated discussion, making the group members marvel at its perversity.
Wang Ping only glanced at the chat group without participating in the discussion.
“Ding, congratulations on receiving an extra reward of 1 million group points.”
At this moment, the chat group page popped up again, and the System’s voice sounded once more.
This made Wang Ping smile and nod in satisfaction.
Extra rewards are delightful.
This wave alone earned him 2.8 million group points.
Now, he was getting closer to ten million group points. With just one more anomalous group mission, he could achieve the ten-million point milestone and use a 90% off shopping card to purchase the Golden Finger Optimizer.
By that time, who knows what kind of changes would occur in the Life Simulator.
“Of course, if possible, it’s better not to encounter anomalies. Although anomalies bring high rewards, they also come with high risks. Even with the Life Simulator, my life would still be in danger.”
Wang Ping shook his head again, thinking.
In any case, he could earn group points from regular missions and accumulate them bit by bit.
Not to mention, he could also earn a share of points when other group members completed missions.
Even if there were no new anomalous group missions, it would just take a little longer to accumulate ten million group points.
“Next, I should continue simulating. No one knows what dangers might arise next; improving strength as soon as possible is the right path.”
After closing the chat group page, Wang Ping summoned the Life Simulator.
“System, I want to perform a Paid Simulation.”
“Ding, consuming thirty jin of low-grade spirit liquid, payment successful, the Life Simulator is starting, talent refresh in progress…”
The System’s voice sounded.
“Ding, talent refresh successful, congratulations on successfully refreshing Green Talent·Cold Aura.”
Green Talent·Cold Aura: With this talent, the host will become extremely aloof, giving others the urge to punch him. Conversely, the host’s combat power will see some improvement, and his behavior will become very pretentious.
“Uh, this green talent is something…”
Wang Ping’s expression turned strange as he silently evaluated it.
“Ding, talent loaded successfully, Life Simulation begins…”
At this moment, the System’s voice sounded again, the familiar screen appeared, and text began to emerge.
【On the first day, you decided to go to the Heavenly Sword Holy Land, acting according to the memories you had.】
【After joining the Heavenly Sword Holy Land, you were taken as a disciple by the Sky Emperor, keeping a very low profile. However, when you sought guidance from the Sky Emperor and demonstrated a proto-domain along with a self-created King-level Divine Ability, you left him utterly stunned.】
【A Half-Step Life and Death Realm master, comprehending a proto-domain and creating a King-level Divine Ability is truly outrageous, even the Sky Emperor was dumbfounded, suspecting that you might be the reincarnation of some ancient monster.】
【However, he could tell that your soul and body were one, not a case of possession. He could only marvel at your extraordinary talent, unprecedented in history. Even the ascended God Realm powerhouses in their youth couldn’t compare to you. Perhaps, there will never be someone who can surpass you.】
【Subsequently, you continued your low-profile cultivation, comprehending various Dao, studying the three Emperor-level Divine Abilities and techniques in the Heavenly Sword Holy Land, intoxicated by the profoundness within.】
【In no time, it was time for the Blazing Fire Secret Realm to open. Although you still couldn’t make further progress to comprehend a true dominion, you gained significant insights, confident that in a few hundred years you could understand a true dominion.】
【After the Blazing Fire Secret Realm opened, you swept through the area and waited to seize the inheritance of the Blaze Emperor.】
【In a blink of an eye, hundreds of years passed, and you successfully comprehended the Dominion of the Sword, achieving a feat that many King Realm powerhouses never reached. However, dominion is divided into minor accomplishment, great accomplishment, and perfect domains. Different levels of dominion have vast discrepancies. You planned to continue on your Dao comprehension for further breakthroughs.】
【However, you were well aware of the imminent disaster looming over the Purple Spirit Realm and began considering an escape route.】
【Shortly after, the two realms bordered each other, and a war broke out between the Purple Spirit Realm and the Blood Demon Realm. You continued to act discreetly. This time, you proactively revealed the matter regarding Nine Nether Demon Emperor Chu Xiao, saving the Profound Turtle from his persecution.】
【When the Ice Empress emerged and battled a quasi-immortal from the Blood Demon Realm, Ice Empress Ji Bingyan personally guarded the Profound Turtle, reinforcing the seal with quasi-immortal methods to prevent a sneak attack by the Nine Nether Demon Emperor.】
【Due to this, Nine Nether Demon Emperor Chu Xiao could only harbor hatred in secrecy, unaware of how his actions were always preemptively known, causing his plans to fail. Now, with the quasi-immortal Ice Empress Ji Bingyan personally watching, he had no chance of killing the Profound Turtle and releasing the demonic Emperor of Judgement.】
【Ultimately, the Nine Nether Demon Emperor could only continue to lie in wait, planning to seize the opportunity later. He did not intend to cooperate with the quasi-immortal of the Blood Demon Realm at this moment. The Blood Demons were not benevolent, and in an unequal power dynamic, cooperation would be very risky. As a cautious transmigrator who survived until now, he did not like to take risks.】
【The wars between the two realms continued, each accumulating power, awaiting a future decisive battle. During this period, you also participated in the war, seeking to enhance your strength recklessly, igniting an internal struggle among the prodigious talents of both realms.】
【However, to prevent being ambushed by the quasi-Emperor of the Blood Demon Realm, you specifically sought protection from Ice Empress Ji Bingyan, who gave you a wisp of her incarnation for protection. Additionally, your master, the Sky Emperor, knowing that the Purple Spirit Realm’s top-tier combat power was insufficient, pushed away important responsibilities to personally protect your Dao.】
【Both Ice Empress Ji Bingyan and the emperors of the Purple Spirit Realm held you in high regard, viewing you as a key figure in the two-realm war, possibly leading the Purple Spirit Realm to victory like the protagonist of that era ten thousand years ago. Therefore, they did not wish for any mishap to befall you.】
【However, even with so many safeguards, you still did not believe you were safe. After all, these safeguards only worked if the opponent’s ancient monsters took action. Pursuing the ultimate breakthrough, failure could mean death, and no one could help you.】
【In the subsequent trials, you faced countless dangers, with many close calls. Even the Sky Emperor struggled to keep his cool but managed to restrain himself.】
【Eventually, the Blue Talent·Light of Hope played a significant role. You broke through under extreme circumstances, advancing your cultivation to the Great Perfection of the Nirvana Realm.】
【Your progress in cultivation shocked many ancient monsters greatly. At less than twelve hundred years old, you reached the Great Perfection of the Nirvana Realm, breaking the record significantly.】
【According to the Purple Spirit Realm’s records, the fastest cultivator reached this realm at fifteen hundred years old. You shattered the record by three hundred years, an unprecedented feat.】
【However, the ancient monsters could only sigh at your method of seeking breakthroughs in extreme death situations. If you hadn’t broken this record, it would be truly odd.】
【After all, for other Nirvana Realm masters, such methods would have resulted in countless deaths. Even with your numerous trump cards, you still almost perished. This cultivation method is not something others can learn or dare to attempt.】
【Next, when you prepared to skip the quasi-King stage and breakthrough directly to the King Realm, an unexpected event occurred. The quasi-immortal of the Blood Demon Realm realized it was no longer feasible to continue delaying. Your existence posed a severe threat to the Blood Demon Realm.】
【Therefore, after discussions with the other emperors of the Blood Demon Realm, and under the schemes of Nine Nether Demon Emperor Chu Xiao, an all-out battle erupted. With the outbreak of the war, the entire Purple Spirit Realm descended into chaos. You no longer had the leisure to safely break through to the King Realm.】
【Breaking through from the Great Perfection of the Nirvana Realm to the King Realm is not simple; it requires decades or even centuries of secluded cultivation.】
【Once the war broke out, a King Realm expert from the Blood Demon Realm targeted you. With no fear, you fought aggressively and managed to kill the King Realm expert with your Great Perfection Nirvana Realm cultivation. This shocked the experts of both realms.】
【Both the experts of the Purple Spirit Realm and the Blood Demon Realm did not expect you to be this powerful. It was not just about surpassing levels to kill a King Realm expert but killing a Blood Demon Realm king with Great Perfection Nirvana Realm cultivation, and doing so without sustaining significant injuries.】
【This greatly boosted the morale of the Purple Spirit Realm. However, the emperors and kings of the Purple Spirit Realm could only sigh, feeling that they still didn’t give you enough time. If you could cultivate for a few hundred or a thousand more years, you might truly grow completely.】
【In the Blood Demon Realm, your existence had reached the peak of their kill list. Various assassination attempts aimed at you, but you acted very cautiously, never alone. Additionally, the emperors of the Purple Spirit Realm kept a close watch on the Blood Demon Realm’s emperors, preventing them from having any chance to assassinate you.】
【However, the emperors of the Purple Spirit Realm could only do their best. The Blood Demon Realm had more strong experts than the Purple Spirit Realm. Before the all-out war, they effectively thwarted assassination attempts. But after the war began, this strategy lost much of its effectiveness.】
【You understood this well and planned to find an opportunity to escape into the Blood Demon Realm for cultivation. After all, the most dangerous place is often the safest place. Your master, the Sky Emperor, also agreed and appreciated this plan.】
【With your ability to conceal your aura, it would be difficult for an emperor to discover you unless they were in close proximity. Therefore, even in the presence of a quasi-Emperor, you could be at ease.】
【As long as you survive, even if the Purple Spirit Realm were defeated and enslaved by the Blood Demon Realm, there would still be hope for a comeback. Once you fully mature, you could rescue the beings of the Purple Spirit Realm and conquer the Blood Demon Realm in revenge.】
【However, you all overlooked one person. Or rather, you did not overlook him completely and had been wary of Nine Nether Demon Emperor Chu Xiao. He initiated the all-out war and found a way to cooperate securely with the Blood Demon Realm.】
【Therefore, he has been lying in wait. Soon, Nine Nether Demon Emperor Chu Xiao found your opportunity and appeared before you.】
【When Nine Nether Demon Emperor Chu Xiao appeared, he discovered your identity as a transmigrator and was extremely enraged. Initially, he planned to kill you in cooperation with the quasi-Emperor of the Blood Demon Realm, but he didn’t expect you to be a transmigrator possibly related to the Transmigrator Chat Group.】
【Otherwise, you wouldn’t have deliberately hidden your aura from him. This made him change his mind, planning to capture you alive.】
【You felt a heavy heart and activated the wisp of incarnation from Ice Empress Ji Bingyan, hoping to block Nine Nether Demon Emperor Chu Xiao and buy time to escape.】
【However, even a quasi-immortal’s wisp of incarnation cannot hold back a character like Nine Nether Demon Emperor Chu Xiao. He is already at the Great Perfection of the Emperor Realm and not far from becoming a quasi-immortal.】
【Even the quasi-immortal Ice Empress Ji Bingyan may not be able to hold back a fully prepared Nine Nether Demon Emperor Chu Xiao, let alone a wisp of her incarnation.】
【Sensing danger, you hid inside the Blazing Fire Tower. Nine Nether Demon Emperor Chu Xiao coldly demanded your surrender, promising to spare your life if you accepted his slave mark. Otherwise, not even an Emperor Weapon could protect you from him, and you knew it.】
【You stayed silent, waiting for assistance from Ice Empress Ji Bingyan or other emperors. Although you knew the chances were slim, you didn’t give up.】
【However, your wait was in vain. The all-out war and Nine Nether Demon Emperor Chu Xiao’s actions were well-calculated. The emperors of the Purple Spirit Realm were held back by the Blood Demon Realm’s powerhouses. Even though they knew of your plight, they couldn’t break free to save you.】
【In the end, realizing that the power of Ice Empress Ji Bingyan’s incarnation was rapidly weakening, you sighed and chose to die voluntarily inside the Blazing Fire Tower.】
【Due to your death, this simulation ends.】
“It’s really too difficult…”
Wang Ping looked at the simulated content and gave a helpless smile.
This time, he had some experience and continued to take risks to elevate his cultivation. His life was somewhat longer than before, and he reached the Great Perfection of the Nirvana Realm. He even managed to overpower and slay a king-level entity from the Blood Demon Realm. Yet, in the end, he still died; neither the quasi-immortal Ji Bingyan from the Purple Spirit Realm nor the emperors could protect him.
There was no way out. With powerful enemies outside and a terrifying major villain watching him from within, surviving was extremely difficult.
“However, if the opportunity rises, I will definitely enslave you and ruin all your cultivation.”
Wang Ping exhaled and snorted coldly.
Nine Nether Demon Emperor Chu Xiao, this ‘senior transmigrator,’ truly was a catastrophe; no matter what, he had to be eliminated.
“Alpha, if I kill this guy, will there be any group points as a reward?”
Wang Ping asked in his heart.
“Yes, and quite a lot.” Alpha’s cold, emotionless voice replied.
“Great. Another reason to kill him.”
Wang Ping clenched his fists.
At this moment, Wang Ping’s consciousness flickered, his vision changed, and he appeared in a strange place.
From a god-like perspective, he saw the scene of Nine Nether Demon Emperor Chu Xiao battling the avatar of Ice Empress Ji Bingyan.
He had to admit, Ice Empress Ji Bingyan was indeed powerful. Even an avatar of hers could rival the Great Perfection Emperor Realm cultivator, Nine Nether Demon Emperor.
However, an avatar was still just an avatar. Its power would quickly decline over time, far from being a match for a genuine Great Perfection Emperor Realm master, let alone an anomaly like Nine Nether Demon Emperor Chu Xiao.
Consequently, she was defeated.
Then, a scene of the simulated Wang Ping helplessly sitting in meditation appeared.
Wang Ping sighed inwardly. After deeply staring at the cold face of Nine Nether Demon Emperor Chu Xiao, his vision shifted back to reality.
Just then, the system’s notification sounded timely.
“Ding, reward generation successful. The host can choose one of the following rewards:
- Great Perfection of the Nirvana Realm cultivation.
- Blazing Fire Tower.
- Domain of the Sword (minor achievement).
- Insights into Divine Abilities.
- Secret techniques learned.
- Any one Emperor-level cultivation technique learned in the Heavenly Sword Holy Land.
- Any one Emperor-level Divine Ability learned in the Heavenly Sword Holy Land.
- Cultivation techniques and Divine Abilities inherited from Blaze Emperor.
- Soul Enlightenment Herb.
- True King Blood Blossom.”
“What the…!”
Wang Ping was stunned at the rewards of this simulation.
The Emperor Weapon he had dreamed of was finally in the reward list, and this made him very happy!
“Blazing Fire Tower is definitely a must-choose. As for the other things, domains and divine abilities can be slowly gained later, so there’s no rush. For now, I can’t delay my cultivation for too long. Since that’s the case, I’ll take all the benefits I can get from the Blazing Fire Secret Realm, refresh the rewards that can be obtained in the Heavenly Sword Holy Land, and then raise my cultivation level.”
Wang Ping scrutinized the reward list, pondering secretly in his heart.
Indeed, Wang Ping had an even bolder plan in mind.
For instance, he could join other holy lands and acquire all the cultivation techniques and divine abilities they pass down as well.
If that happened, all the inheritances from the holy lands in the Purple Spirit Realm would be in his mind.
By then, he could use the advantages from these inheritable techniques and divine abilities to create his own divine abilities and improve his cultivation techniques, making his path broader.
“The feasibility is very high.”
Wang Ping’s eyes sparkled with anticipation.
“However, if I do that, I can’t choose the cultivation option in the short term. Otherwise, being unable to increase my cultivation would keep me stuck in the battles between the two realms indefinitely.”
Quickly, Wang Ping calmed down, realizing that this plan might waste too much time and simulation content, making it a bit insecure.
After all, staying in the Half-Step Life and Death Realm for too long would be troublesome if he encountered danger in the future.
Moreover, obtaining a large amount of low-grade spirit liquid to sustain simulations was also rather troublesome.
It was better to enhance his cultivation first. Once his cultivation reached the Great Perfection of the Emperor Realm, or even the quasi-immortal level, borrowing the cultivation techniques and divine abilities from the major holy lands shouldn’t be refused. By that time, he could absorb all of them in one go and refresh the rewards without any complications.
