Status	Announced that its “game has officially ended” after the Ultimate Simulation Scenario was cleared 689
First Appearance	Chapter 1

Background / History

The Simulator first reaches He Zhao as an antique game console delivered in a cash-on-delivery package. Its casing bears the slogan “Life After Life, Endless Joy!” After a beam enters He Zhao’s forehead, the console vanishes and a Past Life Simulator interface appears in the upper-left corner of his vision 1.

Upon loading, it deposits one Simulation Coin into He Zhao’s wallet each natural day and opens the Past Life Mall, initially displaying only East Expedition West Campaign and Qinghe Town: Demon Subjugation Chapter while other scenarios remain obscured by black fog 1.

Although its settlement messages and item descriptions often appear sarcastic, the Simulator is not sentient; it is characterized as a pre-set program that follows its rules and cannot be offended or argued with 176 445 553. After He Zhao clears the Ultimate Simulation Scenario, it declares that the game has officially ended and presents a return prompt 689.

Functions

Simulation Scenarios

The Simulator loads a world and a past-life identity for He Zhao, then assigns an initial identity and special talent. Early examples include a starving mob in East Expedition West Campaign, a recruit, a Broken Soldier, an unemployed college student, and a Ph.D. 1 11 57 143 173

• It can offer replay after a simulated death and provides a settlement listing survival time, rating, kills, Simulation Coins, and lottery draws 1 17.
• Early scenario admission costs range from 1 Simulation Coin for East Expedition West Campaign to 10 for Qinghe Town: Demon Subjugation Chapter 1.
• Later scenarios become substantially more expensive; The Secret of History has a listed ticket price of 100,000 Simulation Coins, while one entry with selected abilities costs He Zhao 311,000 coins 173 177.
• The system identifies compatible talents, titles, and divine powers before entry. Talent slots are limited to three, while only one divine power may be carried into a scenario at a time 11 80.
• Some self-awakened or self-comprehended abilities enter without an added admission fee, while purchased or lottery-obtained abilities may require an extra equivalent ticket cost 11 80.

Past Life Mall

The Past Life Mall sells talents and scenario access in exchange for Simulation Coins.

• Diligence Compensates for Lack of Talent costs 1,000 Simulation Coins 31.
• Spiritual Vision costs 10,000 Simulation Coins and is described as a key to a special world 49.
• Newly available scenarios are initially concealed by black fog and become visible as He Zhao progresses 1 56 173.
• Admission Tickets can bypass all entry costs while preserving normal clearing rewards 193.

Lottery System

After eligible settlements, the Simulator can present a Lottery Tube containing people, objects, and other things encountered during simulations 17 193.

• Draw results are ranked with labels such as Lower, Mid, Superior, Top-tier, Supreme, and ∞ 17 193 268.
• Rewards can include equipment, talents, admission tickets, divine abilities, scenario cards, and unusual system functions 75 193 268 444.
• An ∞ draw grants exceptionally unusual rewards, including a Large-scale Simulation Scenario Ticket 268.

Special Scenario Formats

Scenario Type	Restrictions / Rules	Documented Example
Large-scale Simulation Scenario	Grants only one life; dying permanently closes that scenario to the player. Clearing it offers immense benefits 275.	Entered through a Large-scale Simulation Scenario Ticket 268 275
Medium Simulation Scenario	Starts the player from zero: no talents, titles, divine abilities, equipment, mental attributes, or other carried advantages. It also cannot receive Simulator assistance 445.	Great Calamity 445
Ultimate Simulation Scenario	Uses a designated unique world and faction choice, while restricting all imported talents, abilities, equipment, mental attributes, and knowledge 554 557.	Realm of Finality 554

Save and Rollback Functions

The Simulator provides or enables save-based repetition under particular circumstances.

• He Zhao discovers a save function that lets him repeatedly farm rewards and Simulation Coins from a simulation 128.
• He uses repeated save loading to investigate why a simulation’s attribute gains are interrupted 196.
• In the medium scenario Great Calamity, an enhanced Cheat Code provides Save/Load through manually placed Time Anchors; longer rollbacks place a heavier burden on mental strength 445.
• The resulting Save/Rollback ability becomes a major advantage in later training and scenario-clearing strategies 448 552 553.

Protections and Restrictions

The Simulator states that death within a simulation is not permanent and that it protects He Zhao’s psyche from schizophrenia, personality disorders, depression, and similar mental illnesses caused by repeatedly experiencing simulated lives 1 49.

“There is no death in the simulator … The player's psyche is protected by the simulator and will not suffer from Schizophrenia+, personality disorders, depression, or other mental illnesses after experiencing too many past life simulation scenarios.” 1

This protection does not prevent He Zhao from experiencing pain, fear, exhaustion, or the memories of violent deaths during simulations 1 2 17.

Interface Behavior

Despite being a non-sentient program, the Simulator’s notifications frequently contain mocking or sardonic commentary.

• It calls He Zhao’s early 29-second survival “a brief life, spent in mediocrity” 1.
• After He Zhao spends 310,000 Simulation Coins and dies quickly, it gives him a “Negative rating, terrible service!!” 176.
• When He Zhao repeatedly exploits Ancient God Alaya-vijnana, it comments that even capitalists give people time to breathe 194.
• It censors excessive profanity spoken by other characters in a settlement report 442.

Relationship

• He Zhao — Player and sole documented user. He Zhao depends on the Simulator for scenarios, training, rewards, equipment, and power progression, while repeatedly accusing it of greed, unfairness, or sabotage 1 31 176 443.
• Ancient God Alaya-vijnana — A recurring scenario entity whose repeated exploitation by He Zhao produces Simulator commentary but does not establish a direct relationship with the program itself 133 194.
• Xi — Appears repeatedly within simulation scenarios and rewards; the Simulator can include Xi-related items, techniques, and encounters in its lottery and scenario systems 75 236 689.

Story Role / Major Arcs

• Initial activation: Introduces He Zhao to Simulation Coins, the Past Life Mall, scenario death-and-replay, and the first survival scenario 1.
• Scenario expansion: Gradually reveals new identities, worlds, talent-selection rules, divine-power limits, and increasingly costly admission requirements 11 57 80 143 173.
• Exploitation era: He Zhao discovers saves, repeatedly farms Simulation Coins and rewards, and uses loopholes in scenario systems to accelerate his growth 128 133 194 197.
• Advanced game modes: The Simulator introduces large-scale, medium, and ultimate scenario cards with severe restrictions designed to limit imported advantages 275 445 554 557.
• Game conclusion: Following the clearing of Realm of Finality, the Simulator announces that the game has officially ended 689.

Trivia

• The Simulator initially arrives in a console that He Zhao considers cheap second-hand junk despite paying several hundred yuan cash-on-delivery for it 1.
• Its recurring startup slogan is “Life After Life, Endless Joy!” 1.
• He Zhao repeatedly imagines the Simulator going bankrupt because of his lottery luck and scenario exploitation 162 194 227.
• Although He Zhao treats its messages as personal provocations, the narration repeatedly clarifies that it is only a rigid, emotionless program 176 194 553.
