Purgatory on Earth!
Looking back, it all seems like a dream.
Looking back, my heart remains the same.
[Having been away from the Human World for sixty-six years, I struggled and persevered in the harsh Real Realm for sixty-six years, facing hardship and having no one to turn to.]
[Now, as you approach your hometown, you feel apprehensive; you long to see those familiar faces.]
[Li Lingyue, Eldest Brother, Third Sister, Dachun, Zhenpin, Li Chengqian, Hua Wuyan, Shen Yue, Li Liushui, Dongfang Shuo, Wang Mingbai, Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, Hongluan...]
[However, when the chaotic Spatial Turbulence around you subsided, and the scene of the Human World appeared in your field of vision, you were stunned.]
[The earth is shattered, and the rift valleys are bottomless.]
[The sky is upside down, giant rocks float high in the air, and dark clouds form pillars that Heaven-Reaching.]
A raging storm, tornadoes, and howling winds swept everything in their path.
[The erupting Volcano, Magma flowing freely, melts all life.]
"What's going on? Did I go to the wrong place?"
[At this moment, you appear to be a living, breathing person, but in reality, you are merely a projection from the Real Realm.]
[You cannot directly contact the matter of the Void Realm, but you can still utilize your cultivation level, abilities, Divine Ability, and so on.]
[Just be careful not to exceed the limits that the Void Realm can withstand, otherwise the surrounding space will collapse.]
[Upon returning to the Void Realm, your Divine Sense and ability to fly have all returned.]
[Furthermore, because you have already reached the Core Formation Realm, your Divine Sense is terrifyingly strong; once released, it covers the entire continent!]
[From the remaining traces of cities and geographical features, you can confirm that this is the Human World!]
"Why did it turn out like this? It looks like the Five Elements are out of balance. Could it be that something went wrong with your Five Elements Root Artifact? Dachun!"
[The Five Elements Root Artifact is what Cultivator in the Human World refer to as the Great Dao Immortal Artifact.]
[You feel that the apocalyptic scene before you is very likely a manifestation of the collapse of the Five Elements.]
[If that's the case, then it means that all the Five Elements Root Artifact in the Human World have been destroyed!]
[If even one person were normal, things wouldn't have gotten this chaotic.]
In reality.
Chen Yi couldn't sit still any longer.
Even when faced with a major crisis in the simulation, Chen Yi in real life would not experience the slightest psychological fluctuation.
But this time it's different.
Will the Human World become this Purgatory scene in sixty-six years?
That's something that directly affects me!
"How could this happen? This never happened in previous simulations, why is it happening this time?"
Chen Yi quickly came up with an idea.
The biggest difference between the sixth simulation and the previous five simulations is only one.
The Great Demon, the Sword Master, Shen Yang, Li Wentian, and Chen Yi himself have gone to the Real Realm!
Is that the reason?
Unable to guess, Chen Yi could only continue watching, hoping that his simulated self could figure it out.
This really needs to be clarified.
If this calamity is destined.
Although Chen Yi can seek refuge in the Real Realm, those he cares about will not escape this calamity.
[You have an avatar Chen Four, who remains in the Human World.]
[In the Real Realm, the connection between you and him is severed by the world itself, and you cannot bring him back.]
[Everything's fine now.]
[But after trying, you got nothing back.]
"Is he dead?"
[If he dies, you should be able to create another Chen Four.]
[But that's impossible.]
There's only one possibility then.
He has been sealed away.
"There are still some survivors. Go and ask them what happened."
[With a swift movement of your foot, you unleash the Divine Art <Quantum Ghost Steps>, your figure shifting and changing like a ghost, instantly transporting you a thousand miles away.]
[When techniques from the Real Realm are used in the Void Realm, the effect is enhanced by more than one level.]
[Because the power you used exceeded the limit that the Void Realm could withstand, space collapsed in your path, leaving a trail that followed you.]
It's not that you don't care about your hometown.
[The Human World is in such a state, there's no use in feeling sorry for it. You should hurry, since your time in the Void Realm is limited.]
[You first arrive in Shenbing Commandery.]
[Some people from the Divine Weapon Pavilion survived, but the entire Divine Soldier City was completely destroyed, mostly covered by scalding Volcano Magma.]
[Some disciples of the Divine Weapon Pavilion, along with surviving local civilians, lived in a basin hundreds of miles away from the city ruins.]
[The situation in this basin is slightly better; apart from the occasional tornado and frequent localized heavy rain, there are no major natural disasters.]
They rebuilt a small village, self-sufficient, though they appeared to live in extreme poverty.
[The Divine Weapon Pavilion Master Zhuge Zhujin, is still alive.]
[It seems there's no longer a sect leader here; he's farming in the fields, otherwise he wouldn't have anything to eat.]
"The wind is coming! Quickly reinforce the roof! Put more heavy objects on it!"
[Someone ran down from a high place, shouting.]
Upon hearing this, many people hurriedly dropped what they were doing and rushed home to protect their houses.
[Some people sat listlessly on the ground, looking miserable.]
"What's the use of reinforcement? The wind there can blow mountains away. Whether you survive or not is up to fate. What's the point of struggling?"
[Zhuge Zhujin gathered his disciples and, using the limited resources at their disposal, set up a formation to block the strong winds.]
[The Cultivator took out their Spirit Artifact and formed the first barrier, blocking the advance of the strong wind.]
[Zhuge Zhujin stood at the forefront, watching the enormous tornado hurtling towards them from afar, carrying with it debris such as rubble, houses, corpses, and trees. He shouted to the people behind him.]
"Fellow villagers! Let's go! We'll hold them off for a while!"
[The people didn't leave; instead, they picked up pot lids, hoes, and door panels, and stood with them.]
"Pavilion Master Zhuge! Where else can we go?"
The earth was cracking and the sky was falling everywhere; this was the only good place we could reach.
"If the strong winds destroy this place, we won't be able to survive!"
Zhuge Zhujin certainly understood this principle.
Even Cultivator have ways to cross barriers like Magma and rift valleys, but mortals can only reach very limited areas in the face of such natural disasters.
He could only sigh helplessly and decide to fight to the death.
["Boom!!"]
A tornado is approaching.
The terrifying shockwave, shaking the heavens and earth, made it impossible for anyone to stand still; the ground trembled violently.
The scattered objects carried by the wind began to fall like raindrops.
The Cultivator tried their best to clean up, but many stones still hit the heads of ordinary people.
[The wind hadn't even arrived yet; its lingering force, even from its edge, had already devastated this small village that had been painstakingly rebuilt.]
[When the tornado finally arrived, the protective array erected by the Divine Weapon Pavilion proved utterly vulnerable, being uprooted and destroyed on the spot.]
[Watching the dark, raging wind rush towards them like a man-eating demon, Zhuge Zhujin roared in anger.]
["Is Heaven going to destroy my Human World?!"]
Suddenly, a golden light descended from the sky.
[Bang!]
A gigantic golden figure descended from the sky.
[He was forty meters tall; when he landed, the earth shook violently, and dust shot into the sky!]
["Light Speed Fist!!!"]
[He unleashed a punch, the several-meter-thick fist emitting a blinding white light. The space around the pillar of light instantly shattered, and the terrifying tornado was swallowed up by the Spatial Turbulence.]
[His golden aura came from the banner in his hand.]
[It's you!]
