Child of Destiny

On October 8, 487 of the Great Xia Calendar, Ye Xiaorou encountered an attack. You happened to witness it and chose to intervene, driving back the enemy and exposing your cultivation in the process. Ye Xiaorou secretly developed feelings for you and brought you to the Ye Family as a guest. You politely declined, but unable to withstand Ye Xiaorou's enthusiasm, you could only go along.

Once the Ye Family learned of your strength, they were greatly shocked. After all, they considered it astonishing that you had cultivated to the Organ Training Realm at the age of thirty-three. At the same time, they noticed that Ye Xiaorou had secretly fallen for you and wished to betroth her to you.

You refused on the grounds that the age difference between you was too great. However, Ye Xiaorou said she did not mind, while Father Ye said age was not an issue and wanted to tie you to the Ye Family's warship.

In the end, you agreed and successfully married Ye Xiaorou.

The Zhao Family was extremely displeased by your appearance. They believed you would sooner or later become a thorn in their side and wanted to get rid of you.

On March 4, 488 of the Great Xia Calendar, your cultivation successfully broke through to the Organ Training Realm Middle Stage. At the same time, Ye Xiaorou became pregnant. Double blessings arrived at the door, and the Ye Family was overjoyed.

On June 1, 488 of the Great Xia Calendar, the Zhao Clan paid a great price to hire a martial artist at the Organ Training Realm Peak Stage and launched a nighttime raid on the Ye Family. That night, the two clans fought a bloody battle. Ye Xiaorou died, and you nearly went mad as you fought like a madman.

However, though you had cultivated bitterly all these years, you were not proficient in martial arts. Despite already being at the Organ Training Realm Middle Stage, you were killed across realms by an Organ Training Realm Initial Stage elder of the Zhao Family.

In this battle, the Ye Family was wiped out. Only Ye Chen, the talented son of the family head, escaped.

Because of your death, this simulation has ended.

"Dead again. Sure enough, getting married is a huge taboo. One wrong step and you die. If I want to live long, I can only keep a low profile and cultivate quietly."

Wang Ping scratched his head helplessly.

Still, the Wang Ping in the simulation was a living, breathing person. Getting older and meeting a girl he liked, then wanting to start a family, was perfectly normal. Wang Ping could not stop that either.

"Come to think of it, this Ye Chen definitely isn't simple. His family was exterminated, yet he survived alone, and he's quite talented. That's a textbook revenge protagonist template."

Wang Ping looked at the second-to-last line of text and muttered to himself.

Based on his understanding of the simulator, simulations generally ended the moment he died. Yet this time, it had simulated a little extra. That was clearly unusual.

"Forget it. Whether he has a protagonist template or not, I'll find out eventually."

Wang Ping did not dwell on it further and simply waited expectantly for the system to distribute his reward.

"Ding! Reward generation successful. You may choose one of the following rewards:

① White Talent: Exceptional Aptitude.

② Combat experience.

③ White Talent: Business Genius."

"Is there even a choice? Of course it's White Talent: Exceptional Aptitude."

Seeing the rewards, Wang Ping made his choice without hesitation.

Only by choosing Exceptional Aptitude could his cultivation rise relatively quickly.

As for the other rewards, they were not particularly valuable.

"Selection successful."

The system's voice rang out.

Then, Wang Ping felt warmth spread through his body, but there was no other sensation.

Still, Wang Ping knew perfectly well that his cultivation aptitude had definitely improved.

"Come to think of it, I actually got killed across realms in that simulation. That's honestly pretty embarrassing."

At this moment, Wang Ping recalled being killed across realms and could not help covering his forehead.

Other Transmigrators killed people across who knew how many realms, while he had been killed across realms by some random nobody. He had truly disgraced Transmigrators everywhere.

"Looks like when I get the chance, I need to practice more martial arts too. Talents like Sword Dao Genius can't be passed up."

Wang Ping muttered to himself.

"System, I want to continue the simulation."

Then, Wang Ping spoke in his heart once again.

"Ding! This simulation requires the consumption of 4 Low-Grade Spirit Stones. Begin simulation?"

The system's voice sounded.

"Four?" Wang Ping was surprised.

He had thought it would cost three, but it was actually four Low-Grade Spirit Stones. The price had directly doubled.

Could it be that the price doubled every time? Would the next one cost eight Low-Grade Spirit Stones?

Wouldn't that cost him his very life?

"Pay." Wang Ping felt the pain in his heart, but he still chose to pay.

There was no helping it. For the sake of simulations and becoming stronger, although Spirit Stones were precious, he could only spend them.

"Ding! Life Simulation initiated. Refreshing talents."

"Ding! Congratulations, host. You have successfully refreshed White Talent: Sword Dao Genius and White Talent: Escape Expert."

White Talent: Sword Dao Genius: Able to improve sword dao talent to a certain degree.

White Talent: Escape Expert: When fleeing, speed will be increased to a certain degree.

"Uh, this Escape Expert really has character."

Wang Ping's expression turned somewhat strange as he looked at the descriptions of the two talents.

Now that there was an Escape Expert, would there be a talent someday called Retreat Behind the Crowd? Its effect could be something like: when retreating behind the crowd, you would be less likely to be listed as the enemy's primary target.

"System, I choose White Talent: Escape Expert."

After some hesitation, Wang Ping still chose the Escape Expert talent.

There was no helping it. Right now, all he wanted was to keep a low profile and grow steadily.

Although he had complained about being killed across realms before, compared to fighting others, being able to run faster would undoubtedly let him live longer.

"Ding! Talent selection successful. Life Simulation begins."

On March 10, 480 of the Great Xia Calendar, you ate meat in great mouthfuls at night and told Chi Feng the story of Dou Po.

On July 10, 487 of the Great Xia Calendar, you fled to Whitewood Village, two thousand miles away from Blackwind Town. You began cultivating quietly, no longer running a bun shop and instead making a living as a blacksmith.

On October 8, 487 of the Great Xia Calendar, you learned that Ye Xiaorou would be attacked, but did nothing. Ye Xiaorou consequently died.

On January 2, 488 of the Great Xia Calendar, your cultivation successfully broke through to the Organ Training Realm Middle Stage.

On June 1, 488 of the Great Xia Calendar, the Zhao Clan paid a great price to hire a martial artist at the Organ Training Realm Peak Stage and launched a nighttime raid on the Ye Family. The Ye Family was tragically exterminated, and only Ye Chen escaped. You knew that this boy would surely achieve great things.

On November 5, 488 of the Great Xia Calendar, you successfully broke through to the late Organ Training Realm. Because the Ye Family had been exterminated and the Zhao Family dominated Whitewood Village, its residents suffered bullying and oppression. You could not escape it either, but you chose to endure and develop quietly.

On June 7, 489 of the Great Xia Calendar, you successfully broke through to the Organ Training Realm Peak Stage, only one step away from the Postnatal Realm.

On July 1, 489 of the Great Xia Calendar, fifteen-year-old Ye Chen returned to Whitewood Village. His cultivation had miraculously reached the Postnatal Realm. He destroyed the Zhao Family alone and avenged his hatred. Upon hearing this news, you were greatly shocked and sighed that your judgment had indeed been right. This boy was a Child of Destiny.

With the Zhao Family and Ye Family successively destroyed, you also relaxed, believing that no one in Whitewood Village could threaten you anymore.

As for the simulator consuming Spirit Stones, that will be optimized later through the Chat Group, and it is also one of the main plotlines.
