Yun Shou was ready to leave the Yuan Tian Realm at any moment, because after this simulation, Thirteen might become an immortal. At that point, he would have to leave the Yuan Tian Realm before he could choose to inherit the cultivation.
Of course, Thirteen might also directly become a complete Cosmic Lord, then break through to become a Dao Lord or something.
But the simulation still had to be run.
If Thirteen failed to advance to Dao Lord, then inheriting the cultivation afterward would save him a great deal of time. That was a profit.
And if Thirteen succeeded in advancing, and could break out of the Simulator...
Then the main body that had clicked to begin the simulation and created Thirteen's timeline would be Thirteen's great benefactor.
"Without me choosing to start the simulation, how would you, Thirteen, ever have been born?"
"One proof, all proofs!"
"This is called a community of fate... and spacetime!"
Yun Shou was very laid-back, because he knew what kind of person he was. There would be no situation where a simulated body broke out and killed its own people.
Besides... what was the difference between having a cheat and not using it?
"And there's no guarantee he can even come back! From beginning to end, this ability of mine has been tied to the future. Maybe after he can only travel to a more distant future, he won't be able to return to the past where I am."
He chose to start the simulation.
Ding! Essence -1%, current Essence: ...12% Year 2869 of the Yuan Tian Realm, you were fourteen years old, a True Emperor of the Ninth Heaven.
"Wait, wasn't this sentence copied straight from the opening of the last simulation?"
