"Eh, there are still living beings here?"
Without another word, Tongtian vanished from his spot and reappeared before the thatched cottage.
At that moment, an old man stood outside the middle cottage, both hands resting on a walking stick.
The old man's face was withered, he wore a linen garment, his hair and beard were completely gray-white, and his murky eyes were filled with the vicissitudes of time.
The instant Tongtian saw the old man, the Sword Soul Primordial Spirit in his Niwan Palace trembled several times.
This was the sword soul issuing a warning—this old man possessed formidable strength, enough to threaten Tongtian!
Heavenly Realm Peak?
Tongtian also sensed it: this old man was at the Heavenly Realm Peak!
He could indeed threaten Tongtian in his current state!
If Tongtian hadn't fallen in realm, his Heavenly Realm Initial would be able to fight this old man, but now it was clearly impossible.
Still, whether it was an illusion or not, Tongtian saw a treasure light on the old man's person.
And this treasure light was not weak, reaching the quality of an Innate Spiritual Treasure!
While Tongtian was sizing up the old man, the old man's gaze never left Tongtian either, his eyes filled with shock and confusion.
Wasn't it supposed to take ten thousand years to succeed?
Had ten thousand years passed already? It seemed like a few days were still missing!
Moreover, shouldn't a resurrected chess piece have lost all cultivation? How could he have the strength of Heavenly Realm Initial (Earth Immortal)?
Had some accident occurred during the resurrection?
Just as the old man was wavering in doubt, Tongtian spoke up and asked, "May I ask your esteemed name, and what place is this?"
"This is the Gods and Demons Cemetery, and this old man is the Tomb Keeper."
The old man answered Tongtian's question, then probed, "And who are you? Xiao Bai? Or Xiao Nan?"
Chapter 23: Hasn't Eternal been sealed off already? Is it Yellow Heaven, or Azure Heaven?
Buzhou Mountain, Innate Spirit Array, Three Lights Divine Water Pool.
"Xiao Nan? Xiao Bai!"
If not for the shackles of the Green Lotus of Creation itself, Shen Lang's primordial spirit would have nearly burst out of his true body.
While Tongtian was examining those grave clusters, he also saw things like the Eastern Martial God's Tomb and the Western God of War's Tomb.
He instinctively felt a sense of familiarity but didn't find anything wrong.
However, when the old man from the cottage appeared and then uttered words like 'Gods and Demons Cemetery' and 'Tomb Keeper,'
Shen Lang couldn't stay calm anymore.
It wasn't until the old man spoke the names 'Xiao Bai' and 'Xiao Nan'
And then recalling that Tongtian had been buried in a small earthen grave at the start of the simulation—good heavens, Shen Lang suddenly saw the light!
He knew which world Tongtian was simulating!
"My brain! The God's Tomb World, isn't it obvious? God's Tomb!"
Shen Lang was bitter about his slow reaction.
Since this was God's Tomb, the character Tongtian was simulating in the God's Tomb World could be easily deduced.
The protagonist buried in the Gods and Demons Cemetery for ten thousand years—Chen Xiao Nan!
He never expected Tongtian to come to this world and even take on the protagonist's identity!
Wait! Wait!
If Tongtian was like this, then what about Nuwa earlier?
Vast Mountain Range... Willow Tree... Village... Didn't that village seem to be called Stone Village?
Damn, this wasn't the Great Desolation World at all—it was clearly Perfect World!
As for the character Nuwa was simulating, there was no need to overthink it—it was the peerless Willow God from Perfect World!
For a moment, Shen Liang felt as if he had been enlightened.
In hindsight, he finally understood what the 'myriad worlds' in Myriad Worlds Simulator meant.
To be honest, he hadn't thought much about it at first, assuming the Great Desolation World and God's Tomb World were just random worlds the simulator had conjured up.
"These myriad worlds might just be the worlds from the novels, films, and dramas I've seen!"
"The identities the players simulate are the characters in these worlds—protagonists... or supporting characters!"
Thinking this, Shen Lang turned his gaze back to the light screen.
Tongtian had become Chen Xiao Nan, and as Chen Xiao Nan was a key chess piece in the War Against Heaven Plan, would the Tomb Guardian Elder see through him?
Shen Lang remembered this Tomb Guardian Elder—his presence wasn't strong, but his strength was no joke!
According to the book's description, the Tomb Guardian Elder was an absolute Heavenly Realm Peak powerhouse, capable of fighting against Heaven-Defying Level beings.
Through the Simulation Diary, Shen Lang knew that Tongtian had fallen from the True Immortal Realm to the Earth Immortal Realm.
(For a comparison of combat power between the two worlds, see the work's related content!)
One was the Earth Immortal Realm of the Primordial World, the other was the Heavenly Realm Peak of the God's Tomb World...
If Tongtian's flaws were exposed, could he be a match for the Tomb Guardian Elder?
On the light screen, the scene continued—
Facing the Tomb Guardian Elder's question, especially when two names were spoken, Tongtian did not answer immediately.
Being able to name them meant the other party clearly knew the original owner of this body.
After all, this Tomb Guardian Elder was at the True Immortal (Heavenly Realm) Peak, while Tongtian's realm had fallen to the Earth Immortal Realm, making him weaker.
If he answered wrong, it could easily lead to unexpected trouble—he didn't want to be killed the moment he crawled out of the grave!
Tongtian recalled the Spiritual Sense, Soul Power, and Formation fusion he had devoured. After a moment of thought, he said calmly, "Returning from rebirth, whether Xiao Bai or Xiao Nan, aren't they both the same person? You can call me whatever you like!"
This was a very proper answer, and Tongtian was quite satisfied with it, seeing no mistake.
After all, those two powers—one was the Past Life Soul, the other the Current Life Body—were essentially the same person.
Upon hearing this answer, a sharp glint flashed in the Tomb Guardian Elder's murky eyes. He nodded and said, "Well said... don't say it again!"
With that, the Tomb Guardian Elder directly transformed into a massive black-and-white disc.
This was his True Body, the Life and Death Plate!
Life and Death Qi shook the void, intertwining like twin dragons, and pressed straight toward Tongtian. The entire Gods and Demons Cemetery trembled.
The Sword Soul in Tongtian's Niwan Palace burst with golden light as he struggled to resist the suppression, roaring, "Daoist friend, why are you attacking me?!"
But the Tomb Guardian Elder paid him no heed, madly shredding him with Life and Death Qi.
Tongtian was already weaker in strength, and the Tomb Guardian Elder's underhanded ambush left him no chance to escape.
Rumble—
The Life and Death Plate descended, and Tongtian, body and soul, vanished into nothing.
Only after completely erasing all traces of Tongtian did the Life and Death Plate revert to the form of the Tomb Guardian Elder.
The Tomb Guardian Elder's face was dark with fury as he spat hatefully, "Damn it! Hasn't Eternal been sealed off already? Was it Yellow Heaven, or Azure Heaven?"
The scene ended there, and Shen Lang let out a quiet sigh.
Tongtian had indeed been found out and was brutally suppressed and killed by the Tomb Guardian Elder.
In truth, Tongtian's answer wasn't really wrong—it was just that the one who should have awakened at that moment was Chen Xiao Nan, not that Xiao Nan and Xiao Bai were the same person.
Dugu Xiao Bai's shed soul wouldn't dominate the consciousness, so the one resurrected could only be Chen Xiao Nan.
Thus, the Tomb Guardian Elder judged that Tongtian was not Chen Xiao Nan and unhesitatingly killed him on the spot.
He even mistook Tongtian for Yellow Heaven or Azure Heaven!
Shen Lang shook his head, then focused his gaze back on the light screen, his expression expectant.
Tongtian had survived in the God's Tomb World for over a thousand years, and now that he was killed by the Tomb Guardian Elder, it was time to settle the rewards!
Chapter 24: Youth Till Death Tongtian, I Want to Split the Family! [Seeking Collections and Flowers]
Tongtian's consciousness sank in darkness for a time before slowly recovering.
When he came to, he had already returned to the dark simulator space, no longer in the God's Tomb World.
Before Tongtian, a light screen displayed the diary from the last day of this simulation.
[Simulation Day 1000, Year 2: You broke the Formation, took control of the body, and burst out of the grave. Finding yourself in a cemetery, you were very curious about the many names of the dead in this unfamiliar world.]
[You wanted to leave the cemetery to look around, but inadvertently discovered an old man. He said he was the Tomb Keeper of this cemetery.]
[You exchanged greetings, and you noticed he seemed to know the owner of the body you had taken over, making you wary.]
[You answered his question, thinking you had passed, but the Tomb Guardian Elder still attacked you.]
