Chapter 754: Chapter 704: Simulation Ends
At the age of fifty-seven: You have completely lost your distinct character, and many who were once inferior to you have surpassed you, each shining with their own brilliance.
You were once a genius among your peers, even if you failed to compete for the position of the true disciple, with your own strength and personal charm, you were still surrounded by countless devotees and held a place of your own within the immortal sect.
However, the battle in which you slew the demons, not only resulted in casualties among your followers, you too were severely wounded. Those who once admired your strength scattered like birds, leaving you behind.
Now, you are just an insignificant soldier in the Cultivation methods pavilion.
At sixty-three: Although you’re just in the Cultivation methods pavilion, you’re very attuned to news from outside. Based on what you hear, demons are increasingly appearing in this world. They’re not just devouring ordinary mortals, even many disciples of the immortal sect are attacked.
But you actually don’t care about this news. Even if these demons were to wreak havoc, they couldn’t harm you. You know very well the strength of the immortal sect, and while within it, you are absolutely safe and free of any danger.
It was at this time that you discovered an ancient book in the Cultivation methods pavilion titled “The Art of War,” but you understood nothing of the descriptions in this ancient book, despite your long study.
At sixty-seven: The news of the demons’ rampage becomes more and more frequent. According to many disciples of the immortal sect, these demons were initially covert, hiding their forms. But now, many powerful demons have started rampaging freely, seizing human cities, and enslaving the entire human race.
Faced with these unbridled demons, the immortal sect naturally began to counterattack, organizing manpower and sending out powerful individuals to kill the demons. A war erupted between the demons and the sect, with casualties on both sides.
At seventy-three: The battle between the immortal sect and the demons had been going on for more than ten years. But these demons seemed endless. More and more demons emerged, and they became increasingly powerful.
In contrast, more and more cultivators were dying or getting seriously injured in the process of exterminating the demons. Under these circumstances, the situation didn’t seem advantageous for the immortal sect.
Faced with the growing strength of the demons, the immortal sect found that it seemed impossible to suppress them in a short amount of time, and their thinking began to change.
Some parts of the immortal sect believed that there could be no coexistence between the sect and demons, even if it meant a great number of casualties, and they were willing to exhaust their forces to eradicate these demons.
However, faced with sacrifices, some parts of the immortal sect found a different voice. They felt that it wasn’t worth their lives to protect these ordinary mortals. They only needed to retain their mountains and coexist with the demons, even if it meant sacrificing some mortal lives.
This conflicting perception immediately split the alliance of the immortal sects.
The sect you belong to, considers being a defender of the human race as their duty and responsibility.
As the compromise of part of the immortal sect led to the increased power of the demons, the sect of the defenders, being obliged to mobilize more disciples to exterminate the demons, you were also drafted.
You didn’t refuse this draft, as you believed this was your duty and responsibility that could not be shirked.
At seventy-five: After two years of fighting, you have killed many demons, but your injuries have been increasing and your strength weakening. Some people advised you to leave, but you politely declined and continued to protect the kingdom where you came from, because you believed you owed the kingdom a debt and it was your duty to repay it, even if it cost your life.
At seventy-eight: The demons became stronger, the losses of the immortal sect increased, and the currents of compromise surged. However, all this was irrelevant to you now, as you were facing the threat of life and death. Demons continuously attacked your protected kingdom. Despite your attempts to exterminate them, you were overwhelmed, constantly at a loss.
Faced with brutal demons and the people and citizens behind you that you were protecting, you didn’t retreat at all, bravely fighting, blood splattering the sky.
Seeing you fought fiercely, countless citizens prayed for you. The power of endless prayers fell upon you, and suddenly you understood the profound mystery of “The Art of War,” received great power, and killed the demons.
Even though you now mastered the power of ‘The Art of War,’ you were completely drained and could not continue to live.
You looked at this devastated world with deep longing one last time, carrying deep regret, and unwillingly passed away…
[This life ends.]
Each simulated life was like an immersive movie. Pei Xuanjing observed everything that happened in each life as a first-person spectator, clear as every frame.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
But after so many life simulations, Pei Xuanjing’s resolve was firm. After the despair faced by the human race in the previous life simulation in the wasteland world, Pei Xuanjing felt that he had experienced enough and little could touch or upset him.
But after this life simulation ended, Pei Xuanjing once again fell silent, deeply affected by the experiences of this life simulation, and didn’t react for a long time.
The greatest impact of this life simulation experience on Pei Xuanjing was not actually because of the life experience of this main character who was like his incarnation. After all, even if these experiences were a bit tragic, Pei Xuanjing, with his firm resolve, wouldn’t be too moved.
What really impacted him was the world of this life simulation, the structure of heaven and earth, or the form of survival.
As Pei Xuanjing in his second life, despite living in the Daming World for nearly a hundred years and experiencing the diverse worlds, he still struggled to accept this structure and environment.
In both Pei Xuanjing’s previous life and his current life in Daming World, ordinary beings had the opportunity to ascend, no matter how difficult it was, there were no strict class distinctions.
In the Daming World, as long as you’re willing, you can cultivate, work hard, and have the chance to change your destiny.
But the world of the life simulation he just went through was not like this. In this world, you first had to have a Spiritual Root to be eligible to cultivate. Otherwise, you would have no chance, your life would be controlled by others’ hands.
