[Life Simulator activated.] [Current selectable talents: Naturally Beautiful (Blue), Heart of Strategy (Purple), Angel's Glory (Gold)...]
Qian Renxue skillfully selected her talents, and that glimmer of gold put her somewhat at ease.
[Simulation begins.] [Day One: You sat in the secret chamber of the Crown Prince's Mansion, recalling your experiences at Jixia Academy during the day. You made a new judgment regarding your attitude toward Gongsun Li and decided to increase your investment in this maid.]
Seeing this line, Qian Renxue nodded slightly.
That was exactly what she was thinking now. It seemed the Simulator had perfectly inherited her current will.
[Month One: You frequently visited Jixia Academy, never arriving empty-handed. All manner of strange trinkets and expensive cosmetics were continuously delivered into Gongsun Li's hands. That innocent little rabbit's favorability toward you soared, and she even spoke well of you in front of Lu Ming.]
A satisfied smile appeared on Qian Renxue's face.
Sure enough, that cold-faced woman named Mirror had been right. Simple little girls like this were the easiest to win over.
As long as she won over Gongsun Li, it would be like driving a nail into Jixia Academy while also eliminating that rabbit's killing intent toward her.
[Month Three: Through Gongsun Li's connections, you successfully invited Lu Ming of Jixia Academy to attend your private banquet. Although he still wore a mask, his attitude toward the Heaven Dou Royal Family had softened considerably. You seized the opportunity to propose that Jixia Academy become an affiliated force of the Heaven Dou Empire.] [Month Four: Lu Ming did not agree outright, but neither did he refuse. He stated that he needed to see the Heaven Dou Empire's sincerity. You understood that he wanted money, and he wanted power as well. Without hesitation, you used the Crown Prince's authority to grant Jixia Academy a large plot of land on the outskirts of the city and sent thirty million Gold Soul Coins as renovation funds.]
Seeing this, Qian Renxue felt a sharp pang in her heart.
Thirty million Gold Soul Coins!
That was nearly a year's worth of revenue for the Heaven Dou Empire's treasury, and it had just been poured in like that.
But for that goal, it was worth it!
[Month Six: Your "sincerity" moved Jixia Academy. Lu Ming relented, expressing his willingness to support the Crown Prince's Mansion on certain non-principled matters. To outsiders, this signaled that Jixia Academy had chosen to side with Crown Prince Xue Qinghe. At court, the factions that had originally supported Xue Beng began to waver.] [Year One: With Jixia Academy serving as a deterrent and your relationship with Bibi Dong easing, Spirit Hall did not secretly obstruct you. Your position as Crown Prince was as stable as Mount Tai. Xue Ye highly praised your abilities and even began allowing you to oversee the state.]
It was stable!
Qian Renxue clenched her fists, her nails nearly digging into her flesh.
In the previous simulations, she had spent this year walking on eggshells, either having her identity exposed or facing assassination attempts.
She had never expected that merely winning over Gongsun Li would make the situation so much brighter.
That Lu Ming truly was the key to breaking the deadlock.
[Year Two: Yu Xiaogang brought the Shrek Seven Devils to Heaven Dou City in an attempt to make a name for themselves, promoting his "Master" theory. Remembering your previous humiliation, you directly instructed Jixia Academy's students to target the Shrek group at the Soul Fighting Arena.] [Same Year: Jixia Academy dispatched the Shadow Hunter and several unknown students. Before countless spectators, they beat the Shrek Seven Devils until they were utterly unable to fight back. Yu Xiaogang's theory was publicly refuted beyond recognition, his reputation was ruined, and Tang San came to hate Jixia Academy and you because of this.]
Well done!
Qian Renxue felt refreshed all over and wished she could uncork a fine bottle of wine to celebrate right away.
That Yu Xiaogang, who only knew how to bluff and swindle people, and that Tang San, who always looked as though everyone owed him money, had finally gotten what they deserved.
It seemed Jixia Academy was an even sharper blade than she had imagined.
[Year Three: Your influence spread throughout the court and the countryside. Under your secret coordination, Spirit Hall slowed its infiltration of the Two Great Empires and instead focused all its efforts on developing the economy and Soul Tool technology. The continent entered a rare period of peace, and you were hailed as the wisest heir apparent since the Heaven Dou Empire's founding.] [Year Five: Xue Ye passed away, and you naturally ascended the throne, becoming the new emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire. At your coronation ceremony, Lu Ming, representing Jixia Academy, personally presented you with a congratulatory gift—a complete set of Level Nine Soul Tool blueprints.]
Qian Renxue's breathing quickened.
Level Nine Soul Tools!
They were legendary weapons capable of slaying gods!
Just how much technology from that lost era did Lu Ming possess?
Jixia Academy's foundations were simply unfathomable.
[Year Seven: Due to your interference, although Tang San still became a god, he did not obtain the complete inheritances of the Sea God and Asura God. His strength was greatly reduced. Meanwhile, with Spirit Hall's resources and Jixia Academy's assistance, you successfully began the Nine Trials of the Angel and reached the realm of a rank ninety-nine Peerless Douluo that same year.] [Year Nine: You completed the Nine Trials of the Angel and inherited the Angel God's divine position. Golden radiance covered the entire Heaven Dou City, and countless citizens bowed in worship. You became the first true god in ten thousand years. You believed you had reached the pinnacle of the world and could control everything.]
So this was what becoming a god felt like?
Even though it was only a textual description, Qian Renxue could still feel that lofty pride of looking down upon the world.
This time, there were no regrets and no failures.
She was the lofty Angel God, the emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire, and the Young Master of Spirit Hall.
She had even begun fantasizing about how she would carry out these plans once the simulation ended.
However, the words on the Light Screen suddenly turned a glaring blood-red.
[Year Ten: The sky split open.]
Those five simple words sent a chill through Qian Renxue's entire body. The cold that seeped from her very bones instantly extinguished all her excitement.
[Without any warning, the previously clear sky was suddenly torn open by a massive rift. Endless crimson lightning poured down from the crack, and the entire Douluo Continent trembled.] [Five towering figures emerged from the rift. They radiated a terrifying aura that made even you, a newly ascended Angel God, feel suffocated. It was power that transcended laws.] [The leader held a crimson longsword. He was the Asura God. At his side stood a man enveloped in purple intent of destruction. He was the God of Destruction. Then there were Evil, Kindness, Life... the Five Great God Kings of the God Realm had descended upon the mortal world together.]
The Five Great God Kings?!
Qian Renxue's eyes widened as she stared fixedly at the Light Screen.
How was that possible?
The God Realm had rules forbidding gods from casually interfering with the lower realm, let alone five God Kings descending together!
This was simply a crushing blow from a higher dimension!
What had happened that warranted such a massive response from the God Realm?
[The Asura God looked coldly down below, his voice like thunder passing judgment: "An uncontrollable anomaly has appeared in the lower realm, seriously disrupting the trajectory of fate. It must be executed!"]
