Choosing the Lesser of Two Evils!

The pillar of fire disappeared.

[You've emerged from a huge pit.]

[This huge crater wasn't caused by the attack from the Flying Feather Sect members; it was created by you stomping your heel into it to balance the recoil of the Divine Mirror.]

[You look up at Kuerdong, a playful smile on your face.]

"Sect Master Ku, are our two sects now evenly matched?"

[The Mystic Fire Divine Mirror itself cannot initiate attacks.]

[That towering pillar of fire just now came from the attack of the Flying Feather Sect members.]

[The Mystic Fire Divine Mirror can absorb energy and then amplify it dozens or even hundreds of times (depending on the user's cultivation level) in the form of flames before unleashing it.]

In other words, the stronger the enemy, the greater the power of the Divine Mirror's counterattack.

[It also has its drawbacks.]

[These relics were not created by immortals, so it's impossible for them to have given birth to Artifact Spirit.]

[Therefore, it's not intelligent enough; whether it can unleash its power depends entirely on how the user uses it.]

[If you hadn't absorbed enough of the attack just now, your counterattack wouldn't have been so powerful.]

Even so, the fact that it could kill hundreds of high-level Cultivator in a single move makes this item worthy of the title "supreme treasure."

[Upon closer reflection, this thing was merely Mirror the Female Heavenly Emperor used to look in; it wasn't Female Heavenly Emperor actual weapon.]

[Simply because he spent a long time in contact with the Heavenly Emperor and absorbed his Heavenly Emperor Power, he possesses such might.]

Just how terrifying was that Heavenly Emperor?

"Siduoduo! You think you're invincible just because you have a broken Mirror? Take this Divine Art!"

[Kuerdong unfurled eight wings simultaneously, unleashing eight storms that swept in with earth-shattering force and overwhelming power.]

[You remain unmoved, raising the Mystic Fire Divine Mirror, ready to receive his attack, then unleash a double-strengthened pillar of reflected fire, letting him reap what he sows.]

[Unexpectedly, although the commotion on the other side was significant, Kuerdong disappeared after the noise gradually subsided.]

[A friendly reminder from the Great Elder of the Heavenly Sha Sect.]

"Sect Master, they've escaped."

[You calmly put away the Mystic Fire Divine Mirror.]

["I know."]

[You are not at peace right now.]

[Oh my god! How did I fall for this trick again!]

[This style of escape was something the Dragon Person Expeditionary Army in previous simulations was very good at.]

"You can run away from the monk, but you can't run away from the temple."

"Sect Master, are you going to attack the Flying Feather Sect?"

"Of course! They killed our ski group..."

["Blood Flower Regiment."]

"The Blood Flower Regiment! They've caused us to lose so many elite troops, how can we let this go!"

["Indeed, if we don't seek justice for our Blood Flower Regiment brothers, there will likely be criticism within the sect. However, both sides have suffered heavy losses this time. If we start a war now, the Green Hill Sect might reap the benefits..."]

[The Heavenly Sha Sect, the Flying Feather Sect, and the Green Hill Sect Three Great Sects that control the most territory and resources on Blaze Star.]

The relationship between these three sects is like that of the Three Kingdoms period, with each checking and balancing the others.

[Now that the Heavenly Sha Sect and the Flying Feather Sect are locked in a bloody battle, and the Green Hill Sect is biding its time, it seems that these two weaker sects shouldn't continue fighting.]

[But the problem is, your existence can never be estimated based on your paper strength.]

[Besides, you never play by the rules.]

"The Great Elder is right. If we attack the Flying Feather Sect now, the Green Hill Sect will definitely benefit from it. If we fight to the death, it will all be for the Green Hill Sect!"

"Our Sect Master is wise!"

"We'll attack Green Hill Sect directly!"

The Great Elder stumbled and nearly fell.

["But Sect Master, we are already struggling to defeat the Flying Feather Sect. Wouldn't attacking the unscathed Green Hill Sect mean certain defeat?"]

"Old Dong... Great Elder! You must have faith in our Heavenly Sha Sect! Our Dragon Person Race is very powerful in the Void Realm, ranking first in the World War record. Even the Holy Dragon Race has to kneel down and sing 'Conquer!'"

["Sect Master, where did you hear this news? Besides, news from the Void Realm can't be taken seriously; it's all just Legendary ..."]

"I have some personal matters to attend to. You all need to return to the sect immediately, consolidate resources, gather manpower, and prepare for battle!"

"Sect Master, please reconsider!"

["I've thought it over! I will not only take over the Green Hill Sect and the Flying Feather Sect, but also devour the entire Blaze Star! And unify the world!"]

[Having said this, dark clouds surged beneath your feet, lifting you into the sky, and you vanished without a trace.]

The ten Elder of the Heavenly Sha Sect remained where they were, exchanging bewildered glances.

"Has the Sect Master gone mad?"

"Is that Mirror some kind of evil object that has affected the Sect Master's mind?"

"Sigh, since the Sect Master has given the order, how can we disobey? Let's prepare as the Sect Master instructed."

[Twenty-fifth year, age fifty-one.]

[In the past year, you've only done one thing.]

[Following Shen Yifeng, the patriarch of the Firewood Sect.]

[You all probably still remember the Firewood Sect, right?]

There are Human Race sects on Blaze Star, but their overall strength is negligible.

[With only two Core Formation Realm Firewood Sect is already among the top tier of Human Race sects worldwide.]

[As you learned from the last simulation, Shen Yifeng, the patriarch of the Firewood Sect, Ma Bang, the sect leader, are both members of the Blaze Star Kindling Society.]

[You must transform Blaze Star into Human Race territory, not just by usurping it and using the Heavenly Sha Sect as a pawn.]

You also need to leverage the power of the Kindling Society.

[The ultimate goal is to make the Heavenly Sha Sect a Puppetry ruler on the surface, with the Kindling Society as the real power behind the scenes, and you as the true helmsman.]

[So now, you need to find out where the Kindling Society is, and make contact with this mysterious underground organization to leverage the power of Human Race on Blaze Star.]

[After a year of surveillance, you've realized you underestimated the Human Race's patience and true strength.]

[The Firewood Sect has connections with many clandestine Human Race.]

[These seemingly ordinary Human Race forces actually have quite a few Cultivator at the Core Formation Realm stage, and even the Desolate Realm.]

[However, they hid it very well, never revealing their true strength even when oppressed by Alien Race.]

[On this day, you finally met Shen Yifeng's superior, Mr. Xun, by following him.]

[Mr. Xun heroically sacrificed himself to protect three-year-old Adou in the last simulation.]

At that time, almost all members of the Kindling Society on Blaze Star sacrificed themselves in the effort to send Adou out of Blaze Star.

This time, you won't let that tragic scene happen again.

[Mr. Xun's official identity was that of a teacher at a village school, which is why everyone called him "Mr."]

This academy only accepts Human Race, not Alien Race.

The Alien Race showed no interest in this dilapidated, smelly school that looked like it could collapse at any moment.

[This became a good place for Mr. Xun to conceal his identity, and also a place for him to secretly contact his superiors and subordinates.]

As soon as Shen Yifeng stepped into the classroom, Mr. Xun warily closed the old book he was holding and stared at the outside of the classroom.

"Brother Shen, you're being followed."
