Simulation of Destruction, Why Is It Always Me Becoming the Arbiter

Many people wanted to push Ye Chang'an, and Eden was definitely one of them.

"If we can't get out, then we can't. I'm not scared anyway, are you?"

Ye Chang'an's smile didn't diminish as he replied, showing no intention of holding back.

He wasn't an idiot; of course, he knew what would happen if they couldn't get out of this room.

He was very willing to have something happen with Eden, and Eden felt the same way.

But it couldn't happen.

"I'm scared."

Eden rolled her eyes, a mix of helplessness and regret in her expression.

Their relationship was indeed going very smoothly. Eden's parents were very open-minded and wouldn't interfere with their daughter's love life.

However, as parents, they still had some principles that could not be overstepped.

No crossing the line before the age of eighteen, or they wouldn't be allowed to live together.

So, they hadn't tasted forbidden fruit yet. Even though they both intended to, they had only reached the stage of verbal sparring.

When one person was brave, the other would back down. This time, Eden was the one backing down.

"Then I won't smile anymore."

Ye Chang'an restrained his smile, calmed his mood, sat on the chair, and then pulled Eden onto his lap, resting his chin on her shoulder.

"Eden, tell me how you modified the Sword Heart Art."

He was genuinely curious and wanted to hear about it.

"I just modified it like that. I felt those syllables were like a form of hypnosis, so I asked a friend who understands hypnosis..."

Eden explained lightly, but the reality wasn't that simple.

She studied music and didn't know much about hypnosis. To modify a complete hypnotherapy, she had to understand hypnosis in depth.

So, she seriously studied it and then discovered that hypnosis and music actually had quite a few connections.

Hypnosis was about implanting suggestions and guiding the brain at the subconscious level. Since it was on a mental level, it was difficult to interfere physically. It usually influenced people through their senses.

Among the five commonly used senses, hearing was the sense most frequently employed in hypnosis.

That is, using sound to achieve hypnosis.

The Sword Heart Art belonged to this category.

Once it was clear that the Sword Heart Art was a hypnosis achieved through sound, Eden's modification process became very smooth.

She found the hypnotic effect of the Sword Heart Art and then rearranged the path to achieve that effect as the endpoint.

The final product was the melody Ye Chang'an had just heard.

In simple terms, it was a matter of appropriation.

She took the result of the Sword Heart Art and discarded the process because Eden could create her own process to achieve the result.

"Ah, this..." Ye Chang'an was dumbfounded after hearing the modification process.

Because according to Eden's explanation, this melody only shared the result with the Sword Heart Art; everything else was completely different.

Even their blood types were different.

Eden, I don't think what you've changed can still be called the Sword Heart Art.

The key point of the Sword Heart Art was the 'sword heart,' but the new song could mobilize Destruction energy without a sword heart.

What was the point of calling it the Sword Heart Art then?

"Then let's change the name? How about Chang'an Melody?"

Eden blinked and asked. Seeing Ye Chang'an's speechless expression, she swayed and pouted, "Let's call it that. I want to name it after you. A melody that appeared because of you, isn't that fitting?"

"No way, that's too embarrassing."

Ye Chang'an repeatedly shook his head, unable to accept naming the melody after himself.

But Eden was very persistent and refused to back down.

This was something Eden had adapted entirely on her own, so she had the right to decide, and Ye Chang'an couldn't stop her.

When it came to music, they both respected each other's opinions and wouldn't force the other.

Thus, the name Chang'an Melody was settled. Eden smiled, her eyes crinkling, and asked curiously, "By the way, Chang'an, what do you think of the effect of Chang'an Melody? Is it better or worse than the Sword Heart Art?"

She had only practiced the Sword Heart Art for a short time before pondering its modification, so she wasn't clear about its actual effects. Only Ye Chang'an could give her feedback.

"How should I put this? I've only been exposed to it for a short while, so it's hard to evaluate. Intuitively, it should be better than the Sword Heart Art."

Ye Chang'an gave his feedback earnestly, without exaggeration.

Just the fact that it didn't require a sword heart to mobilize Destruction energy made Chang'an Melody superior to the Sword Heart Art.

The Sword Heart Art, which forced people to stay calm and not get agitated, was as difficult to serve as a commanding officer. If you didn't follow the requirements, they would confiscate your weapon and kick you out of the team. It was like training a spoiled brat.

In contrast, the Chang'an Melody wouldn't cut off your ability to manipulate Destruction energy, no matter how you played. It's so comfortable.

Moreover, the Chang'an Melody sounds better and is easier to remember than the Sword Heart Art, and it seems to be easier to cultivate as well.

Ye Chang'an originally opened the simulation and played amnesiac stand-in precisely because he couldn't cultivate the Sword Heart. If he were to cultivate the Sword Heart Art himself, he probably wouldn't be able to achieve the Sword Heart in his lifetime.

The difficulty is not just generally high.

But the Chang'an Melody? After just two listens, it was as if he had already cultivated the Sword Heart.

Which is stronger and which is weaker is clear at a glance.

"Heh, then I can rest assured. I was worried it wouldn't be as good as the Sword Heart Art."

Eden smiled sweetly, clearly very happy to receive positive feedback.

However, the actual effects of the Chang'an Melody still need to be explored, as it's a new thing and its merits and demerits are yet to be verified.

Ye Chang'an wanted to learn this skill to study it slowly, and Eden was naturally happy to teach him.

After an hour of memorizing it by heart, Ye Chang'an tried to play it himself, and another new spring eye appeared in his sea of consciousness.

His ability to manipulate Destruction energy increased, and his own resistance to Destruction energy also seemed to improve slightly.

"It's truly magical. The speed of its effect is too fast."

Ye Chang'an had not experienced the process of the Sword Heart from nothing to the Tai Xu realm. Even though it existed in his memories, the experience was still vague.

He didn't know if the process had such a rapid effect. In any case, he hadn't experienced it since he started cultivating from the Tai Xu realm.

This should be another discovered advantage of the Chang'an Melody.

Another advantage was that Ye Chang'an could continue to improve his resistance to Destruction energy.

After his Sword Heart shattered, his resistance had stopped increasing, but now it could finally continue to grow.

"My previous resistance was already very high. If it increases any further, I'm afraid I won't have to worry about corrosion even if I wrestle with an Arbiter."

"I'm safe, absolutely safe. If I can still mess this up, I'll eat my name."

Ye Chang'an was full of confidence.

"Eden, let's play this every day."

Eden's resistance shouldn't be high yet; it needs to be increased further, along with his.

"Okay, you have to play it for me every day. Hehehe, let Chang'an play the Chang'an Melody, hahaha~"

Eden agreed, and finally couldn't hold back her laughter.

It seemed she wasn't unaware of how strange the name "Chang'an Melody" sounded when paired with Ye Chang'an.

Ye Chang'an: (－_－)

What could he say? She was his girlfriend, so he had to accept whatever she said.

Chapter of Creation: Journey to a New World: 11. This Day, He Turns 18

The appearance of the Chang'an Melody didn't bring too many changes to their lives. At most, it added a new melody to their daily practice.

Ye Chang'an didn't intend to find anyone to test the specific effects of the Chang'an Melody.

He was a performer, not a researcher, and didn't have much of a research spirit.

Besides, he didn't want the Chang'an Melody to disrupt the original trajectory of this world.

His current pursuit was to stay with Eden until the very end, prevent her demise, and sleep with her for fifty thousand years before waking up to see her again.

He didn't want to take any risks.

So, when Eden asked him about his plans for the future, this was his answer.

"My future is to be with you forever."

"Mmm~ I really look forward to this future." Eden said happily, hugging him and taking a bite before continuing, "But I wasn't asking about that plan, I was asking about your career plans."

"Chang'an, have you thought about which industry you want to enter?"

September 9th was Ye Chang'an's birthday, and the day he turned eighteen.

Mu Continent law stipulated that eighteen-year-olds were adults. Only adults could sign contracts and become formal employees. For example, becoming a contracted artist with an entertainment company required being over 18.

"Which industry to enter..." Ye Chang'an thought for a moment and asked back, "Which industry do you want to enter? Do you want to be a singer?"

"Yes, I want to be a star singer."

Eden, who had started practicing singing again, had rekindled her old dream of being a singer. She still chose this path, which was also the path Ye Chang'an hoped she would choose.

"Then I'll be your accompanist. I'm good at that."

By being her accompanist, he could follow Eden everywhere. No matter where Eden held a concert, he would have a legitimate reason to be there.

Although he could eat and live well with Eden even if he didn't have a job, it wouldn't be easy to face her parents without a proper occupation.

You can come from an ordinary family, or be completely average, but if you want to marry my daughter, you must have a respectable job.

Being a band accompanist would be perfect.

"(⊙_⊙)?" Eden was stunned, not as happy as she expected.

Looking at Ye Chang'an, who didn't seem to be joking, she asked in confusion, "Chang'an, why would you want to do this? Don't you want to be a musician? You love music so much."

This choice was indeed beyond her expectations.

Having known Ye Chang'an since childhood, how could she not know how much he loved music? She had always thought he would become a musician and continue his studies after growing up.

But the result was that he would be her accompanist.

This was too much of a waste of his talent.

"Liking music doesn't mean you have to be a musician; being an accompanist is still engaging with music.

Besides, you're definitely going to become a superstar, with fans all over the world.

If you encounter an overzealous fan rushing towards you, it's good for me to be by your side to stop them, right?"

Her explanation didn't gain her approval, and Eden still felt it wasn't right.

"Chang'an, you don't have to worry about me. Just do what you love."

After they started dating, Eden felt Ye Chang'an had changed.

He went from only focusing on music to focusing on music and her, and her priority was even higher than music.

She truly felt sweet about this; every woman in love wants to occupy the most important position in her partner's heart.

However, when it came to choosing their future, she still hoped Ye Chang'an could put her aside a little.

It wasn't that she felt constrained, she just wanted Ye Chang'an to be happy.

So she advised Ye Chang'an, which made him feel a mix of amusement and helplessness.
