245 – Yu Daoyi’s Resolve! Meeting Emperor Tainyu again!

‘Now that the pace has slowed down, my strength has actually increased quite quickly. In the era of golden prosperity, everything is a struggle, everything is dangerous, and dying quickly makes it hard to improve one’s strength…’

Wang Ping looked at the contents of the text simulation and thought to himself.

However, although the era of the end of dharma provides enough time for him to settle down, it is only useful in comprehending the Dao.

In the era of the end of dharma, it is impossible to comprehend the laws, let alone the true meaning of the Heavenly Dao. Improving one’s cultivation to a significant extent is also a headache.

‘However, if I use this hundred thousand years to explore the Upper Realm, gather information, and try to find Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to transform my constitution or attempt to elevate my constitution to the Great Success Dominion myself, it would also be a good choice. This can also be considered a path to becoming stronger…’

Wang Ping stroked his chin and began to analyze.

If he could make full use of these hundred thousand years in the era of the end of dharma, then each simulation would effectively give him an extra hundred thousand years.

However, once he reached the golden era, without self-sealing, he estimated that he would no longer be considered among the younger generation.

‘This doesn’t seem to matter. After all, I have already become a Supreme; in terms of cultivation, I can no longer be considered part of the younger generation. Continuing to compete with Gu Xuan and the others would be akin to bullying children…’

Wang Ping shook his head and muttered under his breath.

Moreover, after reaching the Supreme Realm, he couldn’t even enter that secret realm anymore.

Because that secret realm only allows those below Supreme to enter; Supremes are not allowed.

In other words, he could no longer solve the anomaly within, only seeking other methods to deal with the anomaly in advance.

It can be said that those guys have figured everything out. Even if the top talents enter and can’t win, the Supremes are very strong. The top talents who become Supremes are even stronger. Even if their cultivation is sealed to the Saint King level, they would not be on par with the younger generation.

So, they can’t enter, and the Nine-Star Pavilion and the anomalies won’t let them in.

‘However, these things don’t matter. With ample time, eventually, a way can be found to kill them. There’s no need to solve them within the secret realm…’

After calming his mind, Wang Ping continued to stare at the screen.

【While you were immersed in comprehension, an unexpected event occurred: the Small Universe created by Yu Daoyi began to shake. This changed Yu Daoyi’s expression, and she saved you without hesitation, preventing you from breaking out of your enlightened state.】

【Only then did she investigate what was happening outside. She soon understood the reason.】

【It turned out that the sea monster she was hiding in had been attacked by another sea monster, a more powerful one. The two monsters were engaged in a fierce battle, generating extremely terrifying shockwaves that reached their location.】

【According to Yu Daoyi’s estimation, the sea monster would definitely lose and quickly become the food of the other sea monster. That sea monster’s combat power was close to the quasi-emperor’s Great Perfection level, which was incredibly powerful.】

【Immediately, Yu Daoyi resolutely took you, Cai Yonglong, and the self-sealed divine sources of the born Saints, and began to relocate.】

【Otherwise, everything here would be swallowed by the other sea monster whose combat strength was close to the quasi-emperor’s Great Perfection. If you fell into that sea monster’s stomach, there was a high chance of being discovered, making it extremely dangerous.】

【However, Yu Daoyi’s judgment was correct; she moved quickly, but ultimately, the powerful sea monster noticed and issued a terrifying roar, beginning to chase Yu Daoyi.】

【In response, Yu Daoyi frowned, feeling very troubled. Fighting in a place like Ghost Demon Sea, causing too much commotion, was extremely dangerous. Of course, this was related to her own source being injured and her combat strength being severely damaged, making it impossible to quickly resolve the enemy. In her prime, killing this near quasi-emperor Great Perfection level sea monster would be a one-move task.】

【Finally, Yu Daoyi had no choice but to avoid the fight, intending to use various Divine Abilities to shake off this sea monster. But this sea monster clung to her relentlessly, preventing her from escaping.】

【During this process, Yu Daoyi was also targeted by other sea monsters, who attacked her one after another. The ghostly and demonic energies of the Ghost Demon Sea began to manifest and attack Yu Daoyi’s body and soul as well.】

【At the same time, they also intended to attack you. The ghostly and demonic energies had no physical form and could attack the sea of consciousness. Once attacked, you would undoubtedly be pulled out of your enlightened state.】

【Seeing this, Yu Daoyi frowned and unhesitatingly prioritized eliminating the ghostly and demonic energy manifestations.】

【However, Yu Daoyi knew very well that the situation was worsening. If this continued, there would be no hope of escape, and you would all die at the hands of this group of monsters.】

This… this is still the best outcome. If we accidentally encounter a great terror in the Ghost Demon Sea, it will be a much more miserable death…

At this moment, Cai Yonglong finally realized what was happening. He hurriedly transmitted a message to Yu Daoyi, indicating that he could deploy Absolute Defense.

Hearing Cai Yonglong’s words, Yu Daoyi was quite surprised but chose to cooperate with him.

Ultimately, with Cai Yonglong’s Absolute Defense, Yu Daoyi completely abandoned her defense, shaking off the demons and preparing to re-enter the belly of a stronger sea monster to carve out a Small Universe to hide.

However, just as Yu Daoyi was about to take action, another sudden change occurred. A terrifying demonic shadow appeared in the Ghost Demon Sea, its aura comparable to that of an emperor.

Because this demonic shadow was so terrifying, even the powerful sea monsters dared not approach, making the area deathly silent. Even the ghostly and demonic energies seemed to disperse as if they had intelligence, making the area unusually bright, no longer the previous black and gray.

This made Yu Daoyi’s expression extremely solemn. She knew that this time, they were in real trouble.

Then, Yu Daoyi glanced at you and noticed that you were clearly on the verge of successfully comprehending the Dao. She couldn’t help but bite her silver teeth, making a decision. She placed you inside her inner world and then began to flee.

Naturally, the terrifying demonic shadow wouldn’t let Yu Daoyi escape and started to chase her. Yu Daoyi tried her best to buy some time. When she could no longer delay, she burned her already incomplete origin without hesitation, temporarily elevating her battle power to its peak and engaging in a fierce battle with the demonic shadow.

Though her battle power temporarily soared to its peak, she couldn’t possibly be a match for the demonic shadow. She was merely trying to buy time.

While she was stalling, you finally comprehended your Spacetime Emperor’s Scripture. As the scripture was born, it caused anomalies to descend upon the Ghost Demon Sea, introducing a new emperor’s aura.

This made Yu Daoyi heave a sigh of relief. She finally held on until you succeeded in your comprehension. She could now be considered a witness to history. Comprehending the Spacetime Emperor’s Scripture at the Origin Supreme stage was a record-breaking feat that would be praised by future generations.

Unfortunately, this was the Ghost Demon Sea. No one knew of your accomplishment. If you were to fall here, it would all be in vain.

Thinking of this, Yu Daoyi’s resolve became firm once again. She had to give it her all to carve out a path for you.

She was already targeted by the terrifying demonic shadow, and the chances of survival were slim. Since that was the case, it was better to pin her hopes on you. If you were fortunate enough to escape the Ghost Demon Sea, you would be the hope of the Taiyi Emperor Palace and also her avenger.

With this thought in mind, Yu Daoyi acted again while the demonic shadow was distracted by the newly arisen emperor’s anomaly. She conjured countless avatars made of water, diving into the Ghost Demon Sea.

The demonic shadow roared and launched an attack, aiming to kill Yu Daoyi completely.

While dealing with the demonic shadow’s pursuit, Yu Daoyi also cut off a part of her inner world, wrapped it in her origin, and merged it into one of her water avatars, allowing it to escape.

Then, Yu Daoyi’s true form and her other water avatars once again engaged the demonic shadow in battle, stalling for time.

Moments later, all of Yu Daoyi’s water avatars were destroyed, and her true form suffered unimaginable injuries. Her aura rapidly weakened, and she could no longer maintain her battle power.

However, she wasn’t afraid of death. Looking in a certain direction, she quietly sighed in relief and then met her end with a martyr’s resolve, launching a final suicide attack.

And so, Yu Daoyi perished in the Ghost Demon Sea, dying at the hands of the terrifying demonic shadow. As for you, you were carried away by one of Yu Daoyi’s water avatars, fleeing into a weaker sea monster where you once again carved out a secret realm.

When you learned of these events, you fell silent. Having been together with Yu Daoyi for over forty thousand years, even though you spent most of that time in seclusion, the bond between you was very close, and her gentle, older-sister-like nature made you feel very comfortable.

Even though you were in the Ghost Demon Sea, where dangers lurked at every corner, you felt at ease because Yu Daoyi was with you…

Now, with Yu Daoyi dead to save you, you felt grief-stricken and angry, harboring extreme hatred towards that demonic shadow. You swore in your heart that you would definitely slay that demonic shadow. You also vowed to avenge both Yu Daoyi and her mother.

However, you soon laughed bitterly at yourself. After all, you, a Supreme, had barely managed to survive thanks to Yu Daoyi’s sacrifice. Now seeking revenge was an impossible task.

This simulation had no chance; you’d have to hope for the next simulation. But you certainly wouldn’t step into the Ghost Demon Sea again by then.

Sigh…

Wang Ping looked at the simulated text with a complex mood.

Comprehending the Emperor’s Scripture should have been a moment of joy and excitement. Yet, with such events occurring, it was truly hard to feel happy…

Yu Daoyi, unexpectedly, just died like that, and it was even to save him.

Originally, Yu Daoyi should have had a little hope of surviving. Although even if she survived, her essence would be so damaged that her cultivation might fall below the quasi-emperor level, she ultimately had hope of surviving.

However, she chose to give the chance to live to the simulated Wang Ping. This woman truly moved people.

Even he, the real Wang Ping, was greatly moved by the text simulation, so how would the simulated Wang Ping feel…

Perhaps, he was extremely unwilling…

Although simulated Wang Ping is also Wang Ping, ultimately he is a different Wang Ping, and would change with the progression of the plot.

Although the Life Simulator, after optimization, no longer would exhibit emotions like betrayal and the fear of death, allowing me to lead their actions in immersive simulation, each simulated Wang Ping, as the plot develops, eventually becomes a different individual.

“Unless I personally experience these plots all the time, relying solely on text simulations and subsequent TV-like screen playback and general memory images, the feeling will always be different.”

Wang Ping slightly shook his head and sighed.

“However, don’t worry, the terrifying magic shadow will be destroyed by me, and I will also find and kill the Emperor of Destruction. Even though I have no enmity with the Emperor of Destruction, for Yu Daoyi and also for this ‘simulated Wang Ping’, I will do this.”

After pausing, Wang Ping silently thought in his heart.

The simulated Wang Ping also needs caring. If the simulated Wang Ping’s obsessions and grievances could be satisfied, perhaps it could lead to better development.

This can also be considered fulfilling the other self’s wish.

Although this kind of statement is a bit weird…

“Unfortunately, the restriction of Golden Talent: Teleportation is ultimately too great. Even a place that isn’t among the top ten forbidden zones like the White Mist Forbidden Zone can’t be teleported to, let alone a place like the Ghost Demon Sea among the top ten forbidden zones. As expected, I still need to draw a stronger teleportation talent.”

Wang Ping once again thought about the teleportation talent issue, shaking his head helplessly.

However, although he kept thinking this way, things like talent drawing were not something he could just get as he wished, so he could only slowly refresh.

Afterward, Wang Ping collected his thoughts and continued to gaze at the screen.

Unexpectedly, Wang Ping felt this simulation was about to end soon, as simulated Wang Ping wouldn’t last many more years…

【After a long time, you calmed your emotions and continued to practice diligently, wanting to become stronger. Even though you knew that no matter how hard you tried, it would be impossible to escape from the Ghost Demon Sea on your own, and very difficult to break through to the Earth Supreme level, let alone the quasi-emperor level.】

【However, even so, you didn’t want to give up, you didn’t want to waste time, nor did you want to leave regrets. You only hoped that while you were diligently practicing, you could hold on until the golden age begins and Emperor Tianyu enters the Ghost Demon Sea.】

【Perhaps, after Emperor Tianyu enters the Ghost Demon Sea, you could meet him and thus escape from the Ghost Demon Sea. Although Emperor Tianyu came alone without a trace, you still have Cai Yonglong’s Absolute Defense ability on your side. If Absolute Defense were granted to Emperor Tianyu, it might change some things.】

【In the blink of an eye, nearly 60,000 years had passed. It’s worth mentioning, you were incredibly lucky that the sea monster hiding at the bottom of the sea did not cause any trouble. Of course, Yu Daoyi’s final protection also played a significant role.】

【After nearly 60,000 years, your cultivation still remained at the peak of the Origin Supreme level, unable to break through. This also left you very helpless. In the age of the end of the law, you couldn’t comprehend the true meaning of the Heavenly Dao, couldn’t realize two levels of the Heavenly Dao’s true meaning, and naturally couldn’t break through the bottleneck. Your cultivation was naturally locked.】

【However, you did not gain nothing at all. During these nearly 60,000 years, you have continued to comprehend the Dao, further perfecting the Spacetime Emperor’s Scripture, making it even stronger.】

【At the same time, your Origin-Breaking Divine Eyes also nurtured a terrifying divine ability: Origin-Breaking Calamity Light, which has an impressive effect of breaking prohibitions and could be said to be the nemesis of formations and restrictions.】

【Because of this ability, you have constantly bombarded the restriction on the jade talisman of golden light. Although due to the excessive strength of the restriction on the jade talisman and the weakness of your cultivation, the Origin-Breaking Calamity Light was unable to break through the restriction, it ultimately had some effect.】

【After your many years of effort, much of the restriction had been worn down, and its effect greatly weakened.】

【However, you knew clearly, to truly break the restriction, it would probably take a long time. And you, obviously, no longer had that much time.】

【Based on your calculations, coupled with the fact that the laws of the heavens and earth were rapidly manifesting, it seemed that the end of the age of the end of the law in the outside world was about to end, and the golden age was about to begin.】

【However, this also meant that the Nine-Star Pavilion Master’s plan would begin and succeed, and eventually, everything would be refined, and you would not be able to escape death.】

【Your current greatest hope is for Emperor Tianyu to appear at the last moment and take you out, as that might still offer a chance to change something.】

【Perhaps, due to your prayers, not long after, you suddenly sensed enormous commotion outside, and the terrifying pressure of the emperor spread across Ghost Demon Sea, causing countless demonic creatures to tremble in fear.】

【The demonic creature you are in was equally terrified, wanting to stay away from the emperor’s pressure. Seeing this, you showed a delighted expression, feeling the time was ripe, and without hesitation, awakened Cai Yonglong and the innate saint disciple from their seals.】

【Then, you directly broke open the Small Universe, used the Spacetime Divine Ability to escape from the demonic creature, and quickly rushed towards the direction of the emperor’s pressure.】

【Because your combat power has transformed, along with greater means, you encountered no danger on your way forward.】

【Of course, this is also because the powerful demonic creatures were busy staying away from the emperor’s pressure and did not attack you. Otherwise, if you had encountered a quasi-emperor level demonic creature, Cai Yonglong would still have had to activate Absolute Defense.】

【Finally, you successfully got close to the place where the emperor’s pressure was. As you approached, you felt immense pressure as well.】

【With the distance closing, facing the true emperor’s pressure without the protection of a strong person, even you felt a heavy weight on your body. As for the protected Cai Yonglong and the innate saint, although you did your best to shield them, their bodies began to show numerous cracks, like porcelain dolls, ready to break apart at any moment.】

【You could only sigh inwardly, the emperor is indeed powerful. You are still far from Emperor Tianyu, and the emperor’s pressure was not deliberately targeted at you, yet you were left in such a state. If you were any closer, or if the emperor targeted you, the result would be unimaginable.】

【One can say, the further one cultivates, the greater the gap becomes. For an emperor to deal with a Supreme, just releasing emperor’s pressure could nearly crush them to death. If it’s an ordinary Supreme, they might be directly crushed to death.】

【At this moment, you suddenly discovered another emperor’s aura appeared. This emperor’s aura was extremely unfamiliar and could contend with Emperor Tianyu. The collision of emperor pressures, without either party holding back, turned this area into a forbidden zone within a forbidden zone.】

【This scared you, and you quickly retreated to stay away. The collision of two emperor pressures was not something you could withstand. As for Cai Yonglong and the innate saint, if not for your timely reaction, activating the golden talent: Damage Nullification effect, and using all your power to protect them, they would likely have died on the spot.】

【Even so, while they did not die, they were close to it. The innate saint seemed beyond saving, and although Cai Yonglong still clung to life, his body was shattered and his soul fragmented, also beyond saving.】

【You sighed, feeling conflicted. Your disciple, the innate saint, was truly dead. However, Cai Yonglong was fortunate as he, like you, had purchased the Rebirth Talisman and still had another life.】

【From a great distance, you looked towards the place where the two emperors clashed, wondering who was fighting Emperor Tianyu.】

“Alright, I didn’t expect this, but it looks like I’ve indeed endured until the golden era, waiting for Emperor Tianyu. This luck is just too good. But this guy opposing Emperor Tianyu, could he be the reason for Emperor Tianyu’s disappearance?”

Wang Ping looked at the simulated content and was quite surprised.

“Could this guy be the former Mercury from the Nine-Star Pavilion? If so, it seems he never left Ghost Demon Sea.”

Then, Wang Ping recalled something and narrowed his eyes.

If it truly is one of the Nine Stars, Mercury, that Mercury must have a deep and bitter enmity with Emperor Tianyu’s family.

After setting up Yu Daoyi, he now opposes Emperor Tianyu directly.

Various thoughts flashed through Wang Ping’s mind as he continued to stare at the screen.

【Next, you felt the two emperors begin to fight. The resonance of their battle was terrifying to the extreme, shaking even Ghost Demon Sea. You felt utterly numb and began burning your origin to escape, fearing to be caught in the turmoil.】

【Unfortunately, the far-reaching repercussions of the emperor’s battle ultimately got to you, and you were killed by the ripple effects. Cai Yonglong died before you, bursting on the spot.】

【However, both of you had the Rebirth Talisman, so you fell into a revival countdown together.】

【During the revival countdown, the terrifying emperor’s battle continued in Ghost Demon Sea. However, Emperor Tianyu eventually gained a decisive advantage in the battle.】

【In the end, the other emperor chose to retreat. Emperor Tianyu, on his part, did not pursue, and stopped fighting.】

【After all, although the Nine-Star Pavilion’s Mercury had targeted him, they had not reached a live-or-die battle’s extent. The repercussions of an emperor’s battle were too significant, and Emperor Tianyu did not want to push another emperor to the brink.】

【Next, Emperor Tianyu prepared to leave. Because he couldn’t afford to lose focus during the clash, all his attention was on the other emperor, so he hadn’t noticed your presence.】

【However, just as he was about to depart, he finally noticed your presence, and his expression changed. He instantly appeared at the place where you had fallen, a heavy look on his face.】

Although Emperor Tianyu in this life has never met you, he is aware of the existence of the peerless genius who joined the Taiyi Emperor Palace during the Era of Decline, and he remembered your aura through the Palace Master who stayed behind.

Since you snuck into the First Minor Universe, snatching someone away from two quasi-emperors using two Emperor’s Weapons, you have vanished without a trace. This made the Taiyi Emperor Palace try to find ways to locate you.

Unfortunately, even with the intelligence network of the Taiyi Emperor Palace, they found nothing. Consequently, Emperor Tianyu, while searching for his daughter, was also looking for you.

Emperor Tianyu never expected you to appear in the Ghost Demon Sea, and it was obvious that you were killed by the aftermath of his battle with another emperor.

This made Emperor Tianyu fall silent, not knowing what to say. You survived ten thousand years in the Ghost Demon Sea, only to be killed by the aftermath of a battle involving him, an emperor of the Taiyi Emperor Palace. Truly, this is a twist of fate.

Finally, Emperor Tianyu sighed, feeling deeply remorseful and somewhat sorrowful. But soon, he showed a look of surprise.

Because Cai Yonglong suddenly revived. Then, you also revived.

Emperor Tianyu looked at the revived you two; after the initial surprise, he quickly understood and couldn’t help but smile. As beings of the multiverse, possessing rare revival items is surprising but also quite normal.

Your revival spared Emperor Tianyu the embarrassing matter of killing his own genius; it removed a blemish from his life, and the Taiyi Emperor Palace gained a true successor.

To survive in the Ghost Demon Sea for so many years with Supreme cultivation is a miracle; your future in becoming immortal looks promising.

Looking at Emperor Tianyu, you felt a complex mix of emotions, some guilt. You thought that maybe Yu Daoyi wouldn’t have died. With her abilities, she might have actually survived till Emperor Tianyu’s arrival.

Although in your simulation, Emperor Tianyu has always been absent and might not have been able to save Yu Daoyi, you always felt it was your fault that Yu Daoyi died.

Noticing your emotions, Emperor Tianyu felt quite puzzled. After a moment of silence, you shared some details.

After listening, Emperor Tianyu too fell silent, looking at you with complex feelings. He didn’t expect that his daughter had fallen to the terrifying shadows in the Ghost Demon Sea.

Seeing the silent Emperor Tianyu, you expressed your full guilt, saying it was all your fault that Yu Daoyi died. Emperor Tianyu shook his head, stating that it wasn’t your fault; it was the path his daughter Yu Daoyi chose herself.

After saying this, Emperor Tianyu, deeply pained, closed his eyes and bitterly commented that Yu Daoyi’s nature remained the same. Usually gentle like her mother, but too impatient and fiery when facing certain issues, acting too decisively; why couldn’t she wait a bit longer for revenge…

Listening to Emperor Tianyu’s soliloquy, you couldn’t help but smile bitterly. You felt that the communication between father and daughter was truly crucial. If Emperor Tianyu had explained earlier that he was lying low and she shouldn’t act rashly, perhaps these events could have been avoided.

Of course, at this point, there’s no use in saying more; you thought that only in future simulations could Wang Ping prevent such tragedies.

Afterward, Emperor Tianyu quickly restrained his emotions, reverting to his usual self, stating that he would first take you away from the Ghost Demon Sea, and then find and kill the terrifying shadow that had killed his daughter Yu Daoyi.

Hearing this, you understood Emperor Tianyu’s thoughts. Once, when his partner was killed, he chose to lie low. Now, with his daughter killed, although he knew staying in the Ghost Demon Sea to chase the terrifying shadow was irresponsible to the Taiyi Emperor Palace and put himself in danger, he still chose to do so. Not doing it, Emperor Tianyu wouldn’t be at peace.

In the end, you didn’t say much, didn’t advise Emperor Tianyu, nor had the right to.

Next, Emperor Tianyu led you out of the Ghost Demon Sea. Although encountering many dangers along the way, in front of Emperor Tianyu, these dangers that even quasi-emperors in Great Perfection would find daunting were nothing; he easily suppressed them.

Soon after, Emperor Tianyu sent you out of the Ghost Demon Sea. Then, without hesitation, he went back in, heading towards the depths.

At this, after a sigh, you decided to leave that area with Cai Yonglong and embarked on the road back to the Taiyi Emperor Palace.

When you returned to the Taiyi Emperor Palace, you saw the Supreme Palace Master who stayed behind during the Era of Decline. Upon seeing you, he looked as if he had seen a ghost.

After all, you had been missing for ten thousand years, and he truly thought you had fallen. At the same time, he couldn’t help but think, ‘Could you really have been a spy of some force, seizing the opportunity to make away with treasures?’

It’s natural to think this way. Since joining the Taiyi Emperor Palace, you had rarely stayed there for long, always wandering outside after borrowing the Emperor’s Weapon or seeking resources. In the end, you disappeared entirely.

Now, seeing you return, he was naturally shocked and a bit suspicious.

Seeing the Supreme Palace Master’s reaction, you felt quite awkward. Indeed, your actions had been so odd they easily aroused suspicion.

Next, you recounted your experiences to prove your innocence.

However, after hearing your account, the Supreme Palace Master was stunned, doubting his own life.
