219 – The Senior Transmigrator Reappears!

“Brother Wang, what should we do now? Should we go directly to the Immortal Realm?”

Lin Yuanyuan did not intend to continue the conversation, but instead asked seriously about the matter at hand.

“No, the usual routine, we’ll simulate once first to see the situation. Yuanyuan, protect me.”

Wang Ping exhaled lightly and became serious as well.

The current Life Simulator, even if not in an immersive simulation state, still requires a long time to complete a simulation.

Therefore, Wang Ping had to find a safe place to use the Life Simulator.

The Immortal Realm is the central area of the great battle; going directly there to simulate would be too dangerous.

“It’s possible. But Brother Wang, you just destroyed this already corrupted world, I suspect we’ve already been noticed by the anomaly.”

Lin Yuanyuan nodded, speaking hesitantly.

“Hehe, being noticed is normal. Even if I hadn’t acted, he would have already discovered us.”

Wang Ping said calmly.

“So, Cai Yonglong, remember to use your ability to protect us all at any moment. As for Qu Zhong, I’ll lend you a million group points first, prepare for purification.”

At this point, Wang Ping paused, then spoke seriously again: “Lastly, and most importantly, everyone be ready to escape and teleport at any moment.”

“Understood!”

Hearing this, everyone grew solemn and nodded quickly.

Then, Wang Ping closed his eyes and said softly in his mind: “System, I want to perform a free simulation.”

“Ding, Life Simulator activated, free simulation started.”

The System’s voice sounded, and Wang Ping felt his consciousness flicker as he entered an immersive simulation state.

Following that, the screen appeared, and familiar text emerged.

【On the first day, you chose to tear through the void, forcibly heading to the Immortal Realm using the connection between the two realms.】

【As soon as you arrived in the Immortal Realm, you witnessed an extremely terrifying scene. Everywhere you looked, there were twisted monsters, as if the entire Immortal Realm had turned into monsters.】

【The moment you appeared, all the monsters launched an attack on you. Your expression did not change, you directly burned the attacking monsters to ashes and suppressed the world monster under your feet.】

【However, you had no intention of entangling with them too much. You used a secret technique to search for the living forces in the Immortal Realm, then used your Spacetime Divine Ability to take everyone away from there and into another area of the Immortal Realm.】

【In this area, you saw a large number of Immortal Realm cultivators cooperating with ten Immortal Emperors to perform a grand formation, resisting the anomaly alongside the remnants of the cultivation world’s Heavenly Dao.】

【Unfortunately, even though they were fighting desperately, they could not stop the erosion. The remaining areas of the cultivation world were shrinking rapidly at a visible rate.】

【After you appeared, the Immortal Emperors looked at you all with expressions of joy.】

【This made you all show expressions of surprise. After all, it was the first time you had seen such expressions from the natives of a mission world after transmigrating. Generally, you were regarded with vigilance as outsiders. Especially in such an almost apocalyptic world, outsiders are usually met with hostility.】

【Soon, you learned the reason. It turned out that the Heavenly Dao of this world had informed the Immortal Emperors and other cultivators in the cultivation world beforehand that it had sought help from outside the cultivation world. Now, the appearance of you outsiders was obviously who they were waiting for.】

【Of course, there was another point: after you appeared, the Heavenly Dao also informed them about you. Otherwise, they would have been hostile as well because they couldn’t determine your identity immediately.】

【After all, there had been another outsider who showed up and attacked them. Because of that guy, they were almost defeated and were barely holding on.】

【Next, you learned about the situation of the cultivation world and the presence of the external attacker. You also learned about the battle level of the Immortal Emperors of this cultivation world and the level of the external attacker.】

【The battle power of the Immortal Emperors in this world was roughly at the ordinary Great Saint level. As for the external attacker, he was much stronger than the Immortal Emperors, killing two Immortal Emperors instantly when he broke in, causing major problems for the formation protecting the cultivation world.】

【If not for the Heavenly Dao’s wrath and its brewing of terrifying power to suppress and kill him, that attacker might have continued killing.】

【After hearing the situation, you felt quite grave. This world indeed had other unforeseen changes as you had guessed, changes originating from the multiverse.】

【That outsider came to this world to help the anomaly kill Immortal Emperors, which was too ruthless and broke the rules.】

【After all, the anomaly is something everyone should kill, and those who help the anomaly to destroy the world, if part of the Chaos Order forces, would definitely be purged. Even the Chaos Evil forces wouldn’t easily side with the anomaly.】

【Next, you believed that to solve the anomaly, you must first find and kill the guy from the multiverse.】

【For this, you went back into the anomaly world with your team, using the information given by the Heavenly Dao to track his whereabouts with a secret technique.】

【However, you didn’t need to look for him, because as soon as you entered the anomaly world, he blocked your way. This guy from beyond the multiverse brought a large number of monsters to attack you.】

【These monsters had beings comparable to Immortal Emperors. However, due to their tenacious vitality and terrifying pollution ability, they were much more troublesome than Immortal Emperors.】

【Still, you were not afraid and instantly suppressed and killed the monster as powerful as an Immortal Emperor with thunderous means. Despite not refreshing the spacetime origin from the rewards, you still hadn’t completed your Spacetime Dao Body, but you retained the cultivation insights from the last paid simulation.】

【In other words, you had now comprehended the laws of spacetime at Great Perfection, and were also practicing the Devour Space Emperor’s Scripture, making you incredibly powerful.】

【Seeing your strength, the strong guy from the multiverse was taken aback. But he wasn’t afraid and engaged in battle with you.】

【I have to say, this powerful entity from the multiverse is extremely strong, even among Great Saints, he is formidable. Even if you unleash your full combat power, you cannot easily suppress him. The battle is indeed intense.】

【Seeing this, you have no hesitation and directly activated your Golden Talent: Damage Nullification, forcibly withstanding a strike, and unleashed your most powerful Divine Ability.】

【This time, although it did not trigger a critical hit, it still delivered a twofold combo. Caught off guard, this powerful entity from the multiverse was severely injured by you, and the item on his face was shattered, revealing the face hidden beneath.】

【When you saw the true appearance beneath his mask through your Heaven Eye Divine Ability, your pupils contracted sharply. You were shocked to find that this guy turned out to be a predecessor transmigrator from the Second-Generation Chat Group.】

【Having encountered the predecessors from the Second-Generation Transmigrators multiple times, you naturally had Alpha tell you all the information about the second-generation transmigrators, and you memorized it all to avoid any oversights in future encounters.】

【And the predecessor transmigrator before you is a transmigrator named Yi Liantao from the Second-Generation Chat Group. According to the information Alpha provided, back when the Second-Generation Chat Group was destroyed, his combat level was roughly equivalent to that of a Saint King.】

【Now, he is displaying combat power that is considered strong even among Great Saints. Clearly, he has grown significantly over the years.】

【Of course, this is not the most crucial point. The most crucial point is that he appeared here and is cooperating with anomalies, which is extremely terrifying. You can’t help but suspect that this is an action by someone from the Second-Generation Chat Group, a scheme by one of the top figures among the second-generation transmigrators.】

“!!!”

Wang Ping’s pupils suddenly contracted as he looked at the text simulation content, feeling somewhat uncertain and suspicious.

Dealing with anomalies is one thing…

In this case, dealing with anomalies is a straightforward matter. As long as you are strong enough, you might be able to help the Heavenly Dao of the cultivation world turn the tide.

Worst-case scenario, if the mission fails, you can still escape.

Now, the appearance of a predecessor transmigrator from the Second-Generation Chat Group raised serious concerns. The difficulty of the mission skyrocketed, and Wang Ping needed to consider whether this was a huge conspiracy targeting him.

“No, at this point, in the eyes of predecessors from the Second-Generation Chat Group, I am just a small fry in the God Realm. The fact that they sent Ruo Lan or the Saint of Slaughter from Slaughter Paradise over already shows significant regard… It’s unlikely they’d go to such great lengths. Even if Supreme Feng Mo already knows the Saint of Slaughter from Slaughter Paradise is dead, he would only speculate that I possess Saint Realm-level combat power.”

“Although such power is indeed impressive, and my speed of advancement is even more terrifying, it still shouldn’t prompt them to collaborate with anomalies to deal with me. Besides, how would they know that this world of Qin Tian’s has group members and that I would certainly fall into the trap?”

Wang Ping murmured to himself, various thoughts flashing through his mind as he continued to stare at the screen.

【You recognized Yi Liantao, but he didn’t seem to recognize your group. Because you had long uploaded the Nine Star Pavilion’s secret techniques to the chat group, Lin Yuanyuan and the others had learned them through group points and thus wouldn’t be recognized. As for Qu Zhong, being a newcomer, although he didn’t know the Nine Star Pavilion’s secret techniques, he also wouldn’t be recognized.】

【Of course, this is only in the simulation. In reality, if Yi Liantao were live streaming and someone from the Second-Generation Chat Group was watching, your secret techniques wouldn’t be hidden for long.】

【At this moment, although many thoughts flashed through your mind, you didn’t give up on the opportunity to hit a man when he’s down, continuing to launch ferocious attacks on Yi Liantao.】

【Ultimately, under your assault, Yi Liantao was beaten until he was on his last breath, losing the ability to resist. You then tossed Yi Liantao to Lin Yuanyuan.】

【After receiving Yi Liantao, Lin Yuanyuan wasted no time, setting up a formation to conceal her actions and then began draining all of Yi Liantao’s strength, her combat power directly soaring to a level very close to yours, becoming one of the strongest among the Great Saints.】

【Next, without any delay, after Yi Liantao was killed, you began cooperating with the Heavenly Dao of the cultivation world to deal with anomalies.】

【The anomaly also seemed to sense danger and went berserk, transforming into the majority of the cultivation world and began mustering terrifying power, a power that surpassed that of the Great Saints.】

【Seeing this, your face turned solemn, and you directly took out your Life-bound Supreme Artifact. At the same time, you had Chen Si and others take action.】

【Thus, Chen Si directly used her Weakness ability on the anomaly.】

【Due to Chen Si’s once-optimized Golden Finger, the Weakness ability doubled, leaving the anomaly with only one-quarter of its power.】

【While Chen Si applied the Weakness ability, Zhang Yueying also activated her ability, causing your combat power to gradually surpass your level.】

【As for Cai Yonglong, Liu Mei, Qu Zhong, and others, they were ready to assist in the battle at any time.】

【Due to Zhang Yueying’s enhancement and the fact that you wielded your Life-bound Supreme Artifact, your combat power had risen to a level where you could rival a Half-step Supreme. Each move you made was filled with destructive power, and your Spacetime Divine Ability was extremely overbearing, aiming to utterly tear apart the heavily polluted majority of the cultivation world.】

【Your outburst left the various Celestial Emperors extremely shocked, thinking that you were overly powerful, like a monster.】

【The anomaly also didn’t expect you to be so strong, nor did it expect Chen Si to forcibly suppress three-quarters of its power, making it extremely uncomfortable.】

【The most troublesome thing was that the Heavenly Dao of the cultivation world also began to counterattack, making the anomaly feel a sense of crisis after a long time.】

【In response, the anomaly realized there was only one choice: gather all its power to kill you, abandoning the rest of the cultivation world.】

【Initially, it planned to completely pollute the cultivation world and transform it into its base of operations. Now it seemed impossible. Since it couldn’t be done, it would decisively cut off losses and eliminate you first.】

【Soon, the polluted cultivation world began to wriggle, gradually shrinking, turning into a miniaturized tentacle monster. When this tentacle monster appeared, even you couldn’t help but change your expression, for its energy fluctuations were too powerful, exceeding the level of a Half-step Supreme.】

【Facing a monster that exceeded the level of a Half-step Supreme, even with Zhang Yueying’s Golden Finger-enhanced combat power, you couldn’t contend with it. Unless you are extremely lucky to trigger your purple talent: Infinite Blade and Ninefold Resonance, there’s no chance of victory.】

【Just as you were in shock, the anomaly launched an attack, targeting you, and its pollution power reached its peak. In an instant, the energy barrier you set up could not withstand the anomaly’s pollution power, and Cai Yonglong and others began to mutate.】

【Seeing this, Cai Yonglong didn’t hesitate to use his Golden Finger: Absolute Defense, protecting Qu Zhong and others. When Qu Zhong realized the situation, he immediately had Qu Zhong use his purification ability to cleanse everyone of the pollution.】

【However, it was clear that the abilities were at different levels. Even after optimizing his Golden Finger once, Qu Zhong couldn’t cleanse the pollution as promptly as before. While he continued to purify, the process had slowed significantly.】

【Seeing this, your expression turned grim, knowing you couldn’t drag this out any longer; otherwise, you’d all be wiped out here. Thus, you had Chen Kang use his Imprisonment ability to restrain the anomaly in place.】

【Then, wielding your Life-bound Supreme Artifact, you launched the fiercest attacks, hoping to simultaneously trigger the effects of your purple talent: Infinite Blade and Ninefold Resonance.】

【However, to your frustration, despite Chen Kang’s imprisonment, you failed to trigger your talent effects. Without the talent activation, your previous attacks on the anomaly were as effective as scratching an itch and had no significant impact.】

【At this rate, you knew you’d all perish here. Thus, as a last resort, you had Wu Jun use his Golden Finger’s power.】

This time, Wu Jun was extremely lucky and triggered a positive effect… The anomaly’s body froze, then began to collapse, resulting in Absolute Death.

Seeing this, you were shocked and marveled at Wu Jun’s Golden Finger’s abnormality. However, you smiled bitterly, realizing that despite triggering the anomaly’s death in the simulation, it might not be the same in reality. The problem still hadn’t been truly solved.

Since you had killed the anomaly, you decided to return.

Due to your return, this simulation has ended.

After the text simulation ended, numerous images appeared in Wang Ping’s mind, and finally, his vision returned to the real world.

“Brother Wang, how’s the situation?”

Cai Yonglong asked impatiently.

“The anomaly is dead, but…”

Wang Ping sighed and explained the situation directly.

“This…”

Everyone looked at each other in dismay. They hadn’t expected the anomaly to be so abnormal, forming a body that surpassed the half-step Supreme level after going berserk.

Although the main body appeared, meaning they wouldn’t have to go through the trouble of cutting it off from the Heavenly Dao, it was so powerful that they simply couldn’t defeat it.

“Even with my sister’s Weakness ability reducing its strength to a quarter, it’s still so strong. How can we fight this?”

Chen Kang said, feeling a headache.

“Moreover, its contamination ability is so strong. If we don’t resolve it within the effective period of my Golden Finger, we’ll all be contaminated into monsters.”

Cai Yonglong furrowed his brow, his face dark.

“Well, if my purification effect evolves one more time, could it have a miraculous effect?”

Qu Zhong asked cautiously.

“Useless.”

Wang Ping glanced at him, not willing to spend another billion group points to enhance his ability.

Unless the Golden Finger could directly purify the anomaly to kill it, further optimization wouldn’t be very meaningful.

The most crucial thing is still strength. I can continue to simulate to improve my own power. However, the key issue with immersive simulation is the passage of time.”

Wang Ping frowned, feeling a bit of a headache.

If he continued with the previous Paid Simulations, with a minimum duration of a hundred thousand years, even if he didn’t use the immersive state at all, several months in the real world would pass.

If he lived longer, more time would pass in reality.

By then, the anomaly would definitely not spare them.

The anomaly knew of their existence, and it was highly probable that Yi Liantao from the Second-Generation Chat Group also knew they had arrived.

If he reported the situation, Wang Ping and others would have to deal with not just Yi Liantao and the anomaly, but also the possibility of other powerful figures from the Second-Generation Chat Group heading their way.

“Prepare to abandon the mission.”

Wang Ping squinted his eyes and made this decision.

He wouldn’t undertake risky ventures.

Although the anomaly was very valuable, serving as his ticket to participate in games at the Allheavens Playground in the future, he wasn’t in a hurry.

When he was stronger, it would be easier to hunt anomalies of this level, wouldn’t it?

Even though anomalies of this level were rare, Wang Ping had plenty of time and could wait.

“Uh…”

Seeing Wang Ping’s decision, Cai Yonglong and the others looked at each other. They hadn’t expected Wang Ping to make such a decision.

After all, in the past, no matter how dangerous the anomaly was, Wang Ping had never given up. He would find a way to clear the situation after multiple simulations.

“There’s indeed no need to continue the mission. After all, this time is different, having to face other transmigrators. They might also call for reinforcements, and this could also be a trap.”

Lin Yuanyuan’s eyes flickered, agreeing with Wang Ping’s decision.

Seeing this, the others naturally had no objections.

“Wu Jun, use your Golden Finger and see if you can trigger the instant death effect. If we can get lucky, that would be great.”

Wang Ping looked at Wu Jun and said.

“Alright, I’ll give it a try.”

Wu Jun was taken aback, then nodded.

“Wait a moment.”

At this time, Wang Ping seemed to remember something and looked at Cai Yonglong.

“Cai, use Absolute Defense and protect all of us. I fear Wu Jun might trigger something bad and wipe us all out together.”

Wang Ping exhaled lightly and said seriously.

“Alright.”

Cai Yonglong also felt that Wang Ping made a lot of sense and without hesitation, used his Golden Finger to enhance the light shield with Absolute Defense.

And Wang Ping went a step further, preparing to use his Golden Talent: Damage Nullification as soon as Wu Jun used his ability.

With the double protection, even if Wu Jun’s Golden Finger triggered some negative effect, they would remain unharmed.

Soon, Wu Jun used his Golden Finger.

In an instant, under everyone’s gaze, Wu Jun turned into a woman.

However, everything was very calm, as if nothing had happened.

“Brother Wang, I seem to have failed.”

Wu Jun said somewhat awkwardly.

“.Failing is fine; let’s prepare to leave. The longer we stay in this world, the more dangerous it becomes.”

Wang Ping frowned and spoke.

“Alright.”

Hearing this, everyone was a bit helpless and chose to teleport back.

In an instant, Wang Ping and the others turned into white light and disappeared, returning to their original world.

But just a few minutes after Wang Ping returned, the notification sound from the chat group system suddenly rang, making Wang Ping and the others freeze.

“Ding, the anomaly is dead, the group task is complete. Rewards have been issued individually. Members can claim their rewards on the group rewards page.”

“The anomaly… is dead?”

Wang Ping was a bit astonished.

Could it be that Wu Jun triggered an instant death effect earlier?

If so, then Wu Jun’s luck was truly defying the heavens.

“To deal with such a difficult-to-solve anomaly, it has to be Wu Jun’s Golden Finger. It directly ignored everything and killed it instantly.”

Wang Ping sighed a little.

In Wang Ping’s view, his Life Simulator was powerful, but people like Wu Jun and Lin Yuanyuan were indeed not inferior.

If one day Lin Yuanyuan directly slept with a Supreme or even a quasi-emperor, and Wu Jun triggered the possibility of gaining terrifying power…

Then these two would undoubtedly surpass him easily.

“You are overthinking. It wasn’t Wu Jun who activated the Golden Finger to kill the anomaly.”

Alpha’s voice sounded.

“Then what was the reason?”

Wang Ping was slightly startled upon hearing this.

“This time, Wu Jun’s activation only weakened the pollution of the Heavenly Dao. The one who truly acted against the anomaly was someone from the Second-Generation Chat Group.”

Alpha’s icy voice sounded again. There seemed to be no change, but the voice rarely had a hint of anomaly.

“What, someone from the Second-Generation Chat Group?”

Wang Ping’s eyes widened a bit with some astonishment.

“Wasn’t this part of their plan? Why did they take action to kill the anomaly, or did they eradicate the entire cultivation world along with it?”

“No. Their purpose was twofold: killing the anomaly and cleansing their ranks.”

Alpha’s voice rang out again.

“Cleansing their ranks…?” Wang Ping frowned slightly and speculated, “Do you mean that this collaboration with the anomaly was a unilateral act by Yi Liantao, not a scheme by the senior transmigrators from the Second-Generation Chat Group?”

“Exactly.” Alpha said slowly, “It seems that there are still principled individuals among the Second-Generation Chat Group members.”

“…

Whether it was Chu Xiao or this Yi Liantao, they both intended to use anomalies to achieve their goals, which could be described as extremely crazy.

Wang Ping originally thought that these transmigrator seniors were all ruthless fellows who did things without considering the consequences.

It seems that’s not entirely the case.

“Who is he? How strong is he now?”

Wang Ping curiously asked.

“Chen Mu, based on his previously exhibited strength, should be enough to rival a Quasi-Emperor.”

Alpha gave a response.

“Chen Mu, at the Quasi-Emperor level… Alpha, did you snatch the anomaly’s origin from him?”

Wang Ping’s eyes flickered as he curiously asked.

“I seized a portion of it, which is why I distributed rewards to you all. However, because you did not kill the anomaly this time, it’s likely that you won’t obtain the entrance ticket.”

Alpha’s cold voice rang out again.

“Heh, it’s okay, no need to rush. Once I reach the Emperor level, as long as you detect an anomaly, I can go over and easily crush it.”

Wang Ping chuckled, speaking with great confidence.

“Mm.”

After responding, Alpha went silent.

Seeing Alpha go silent, Wang Ping also put the previous matters behind him, casually claiming the rewards and discovering several billion group points.

He was quite satisfied with this.

Next, Wang Ping closed the somewhat noisy chat group and planned to engage in an immersive simulation.

This time, he must break through to the Great Saint level.

And then, the most important thing…

That is, he hopes to refresh the origin of time or a complete Spacetime Dao Body.

If it doesn’t, he’ll feel quite uncomfortable in the real world, having to act with a broken Spacetime Dao Body.

“If it really doesn’t work, I’ll have to wait until my cultivation rises and then directly find the Ji family or Wang family in the real world, and attempt to enter a secret realm through trade to obtain the origin of time.”

Wang Ping thought silently.

This is the easiest to achieve.

After all, in this Dharma-ending age, as long as Wang Ping brings out something shockingly valuable, it won’t be difficult to make a trip to the secret realm.

As for whether there would be life-threatening risks…

He can’t use the chat group in the simulation, but that’s not the case in the real world.

Even if he encountered a life-threatening situation, he could use the chat group’s teleportation function to escape; not even a Quasi-Emperor could stop him.

“Thinking this way, I feel much more at ease. It’s possible to play it safe, but there’s no need to be overly cautious. In the real world, I should still strive for what I deserve.”

Wang Ping chuckled lightly, then entered the state of immersive simulation.

Screens and texts appeared.

【On the first day, you chose to take action. This time, you decided to bring Wan Yu back to the Great Origin Ancient Star to see Lin Qinghe.】

【In previous simulations, you weren’t sure if Taiyi Emperor Palace would accept demonic physique prodigies, so you didn’t plan to bring Lin Qinghe and Wan Yu to Taiyi Emperor Palace as it would be too dangerous. Therefore, you chose to let them fend for themselves.】

【Afterwards, you didn’t see them stand out in previous simulations, and you were a bit worried.】

【Now, you understand Taiyi Emperor’s personality and have a great impression of Taiyi Emperor Palace. Therefore, you decided to give it a try and see if Taiyi Emperor Palace would accept these two demonic physique prodigies.】

【If Taiyi Emperor Palace is willing to accept them, you would be relieved. If not, you would take them to the Central Immortal Continent, which would be more convenient for their growth. With you watching over them, if they are bullied by old monsters, you can help them out.】

【Next, you found Cai Yonglong and left the Great Origin Ancient Star with the three of them.】

【During this process, Thunder’s Origin Supreme also set his eyes on you all. However, after consideration, he ultimately did not make a move.】

【You felt relieved about this. Next, you took the three to the Central Immortal Continent, heading to Taiyi Emperor Palace.】

【The Dao Palace Master of Taiyi Emperor Palace was very surprised by your talent and cultivation, and naturally accepted you. As for Lin Qinghe and Wan Yu, he did not see through their talents and accepted them into Taiyi Emperor Palace because of you, along with Cai Yonglong.】

【You felt relieved about this. Although you had a good impression of Taiyi Emperor Palace, especially of Emperor Tianyu whom you respected greatly and trusted his character, now Emperor Tianyu is nowhere to be found, and you don’t have a complete Spacetime Dao Body. If the Dao Palace Master of Taiyi Emperor Palace disliked demonic physiques, it would be quite troublesome.】

【Fortunately, the Supreme did not see through the Devouring Immortal Demon Body and the Black Abyss Demon Physique which had not truly awakened.】
