First the Fruit, Then the Cause, Inferring the Present from the Future

Qin Wangchuan paused upon seeing this, "Divine Object?"

He lightly tapped the simulation interface with his fingertip, quickly searching his mind for the list of the Secret Realm that the Academy would be opening soon.

"The timeline here should be next month. And the Secret Realm opening next month... is it 'Zhuixing Abyss'?"

The disciples of the Wandao Academy are extraordinary.

Ordinary fortuitous opportunity would never circulate so widely among disciples, much less be easily labeled as Divine Objects.

"It's worth the trip," Qin Wangchuan judged, a hint of consideration flashing in his eyes.

Then I looked at the simulation interface again.

[Simulation continues]

In the same year, rumors began to circulate within the Academy.

Some exceptional Human Race Prodigy races have mysteriously disappeared, vanishing without a trace, neither alive nor dead.

[Year 29]

Qin Wangchuan's newly developed technique, "Supernatural Law," began to circulate.

"So Supernatural Law are indeed starting to circulate?" Qin Wangchuan wasn't surprised to see this, after all, a framework had already been established.

Meanwhile, more and more of Human Race's Prodigy are going missing.

It might be to vent his anger.

A Prodigy from Foreign Lands was killed by a mysterious figure, his head impaled on the Outer Academy.

Conflicts Outer Academy intensified.

The Immortal Court, led by Chu Wujiu, could no longer tolerate the Prodigy and challenged the Alien Race to a life-or-death duel.

When the battle reached its climax...

A mixed-race individual suddenly appeared, using the combined strength of both to open a rift, into which numerous mixed-race individuals leaped.

Although the location of the rift is unknown, it undoubtedly changed the course of the battle.

Chu Wujiu and the other Prodigy were seriously injured.

The opposing side still has nine people.

Among them were three auras as deep and majestic as mountains, clearly descendants of King Sovereign from Foreign Lands.

The defeat was irreversible.

You were secretly sweating bullets, almost ready to raise your hand and go on stage.

Just then, Qin Wangchuan arrived, breaking through the air.

His single thought elevates him to the Supreme Being, shocking the entire audience.

However, the Alien Race had already prepared methods to counter the Saint Law.

This battle was tough, but we won.

Qin Wangchuan, at the cost of serious injury, killed nine people in succession.

In the same year, you broke through to the Supreme Realm and condensed the Eight-Character Heaven and Earth Law.

"While I can't compare to those top-tier prodigies, it's good enough." You gave a wry smile.

Upon seeing this, Qin Wangchuan's gaze seemed to pierce through time and space, witnessing that fierce battle.

"There seems to be no description of the Dual Heaven-Earth Method. Did it fail?"

"And seriously injured?"

"The name of a descendant of the King Sovereign is naturally extraordinary. Although he won, he was severely injured..."

He pondered for a moment, then shook his head slightly, a hint of almost harsh scrutiny flashing in his deep eyes.

"The victory wasn't decisive enough; it could have been better."

Keep watching.

However, Qin Wangchuan was suddenly stunned after seeing the next scene.

[Year 31]

The "Supernatural Realm," derived from the Supernatural Law, began to circulate among the younger generation, eventually sweeping across the entire Three Thousand Provinces.

From then on.

After the Thirteenth Realm of Supreme Being, there is not the Fourteenth Realm of Heavenly Venerable, but the Supernatural Realm.

Qin Wangchuan's name resounded once again, making him the first person in 100,000 years to create his own realm and integrate it into the cultivation system.

[Simulated pause.]

"Wait a minute!"

Qin Wangchuan frowned, his gaze fixed on those few lines of text.

"Supernatural Law... how did it become the Supernatural Realm?"

What happened in between?

He muttered to himself, repeatedly flipping through the simulations, trying to uncover the omitted evolutionary process from the simulator's cold and concise descriptions.

After looking at it from all angles, the only thing that can be deduced is the year.

"The Supernatural Law appeared in 1929, and the Supernatural Realm appeared in 1931, a difference of two years."

"What was I doing for so long? Because it was too difficult?" The thought flashed through Qin Wangchuan's mind, but he immediately denied it. "No."

"I am already a hundred times Origin Source, and I will only become stronger in the future."

He didn't believe there was anything that could keep him working on it for two years without any results.

"Since it's not that, then something must have been put on hold for now, or..."

As Qin Wangchuan, his gaze suddenly became fixed.

A neglected blind spot, like a spark ignited in the darkness, suddenly illuminated his thoughts.

"It wasn't just temporarily shelved; it was—never taken seriously from the beginning."

"The Supernatural Law has already been developed, but it will only be announced a year later because I was immersed in the research of the Dual Heaven-Earth Method and only considered this thing as a toy I made in my spare time."

"However, a year later, the Dual Heaven-Earth Method was declared a failure, which is why they began to turn their attention to the Supernatural Law they had previously ignored?"

"Then Supernatural Law appeared in the world."

The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

"Looking back from the future to the present, it has a bit of a 'cause and effect' feel to it."

"If the Supernatural Law can truly lead to a new Supernatural Realm, starting now will save a lot of time and avoid countless detours."

But where exactly should we begin?

Qin Wangchuan tapped his fingertips lightly, and after a moment, his gaze settled slightly.

Yes.

Now he's not alone. After discussing it with Elder He and the others, they might come up with some ideas.

Now, let's finish watching this simulation.

[Simulation continues.]

[Year 35]

You left Wandao Academy and embarked on your own path.

[Year 46]

I've been feeling restless and uneasy lately while practicing.

You send a message to Qingsang Town but receive no response, so you decide to go back and check.

As soon as they stepped within a hundred miles, they sensed something was wrong—there was a restriction.

You immediately notified the Mo Tian Sect, and then hurriedly broke in.

The entire Qingsang Town has become a dead zone.

The streets were littered with shriveled corpses, including the father, Lin Chengyue.

Looking up, the man in the black robe hovered in mid-air, holding a blood-red Jade Bottle.

You instantly understood.

"Prodigy from Foreign Lands!"

"You guessed right, die now." He raised his hand, and blood-red light pierced the heavens and earth.

You take your gun and go to meet it.

The gun broke, the armor shattered.

Blood spurted through his chest.

A sharp pain gripped your throat, rendering you unable to utter a sound, and you collapsed heavily to your knees on this familiar land.

The blood flowed uncontrollably backward, merging into the blood-red Jade Bottle in the hand of the Foreign Lands Prodigy.

"This blood should be enough to get things done."

Before darkness engulfed your consciousness, you vaguely heard a roar of alarm and anger coming from afar—it was reinforcements from the Mo Tian Sect.

Unfortunately, you won't be able to wait that long.

You are dead.

[Simulation ended.]

Final Achievement: The Cage-Bound.

Survival time: 46 years

The ending: The Lin Family brought them both success and failure. They were trapped by warmth and comfort, and lost their competitive spirit and edge.

The Lin Family gave you a second life, a home, but they also wove a gentle net for you.

Here, your exceptional talent is enough to gain recognition, and defeating your peers will earn you applause.

You learned to survive, you learned to be better than those around you, but you never learned how to truly compete—to compete for the fortuitous opportunity to Defy Fate, to compete for the possibility of standing at the pinnacle of humanity.

Returning to the Mo Tian Sect, where resources and status are readily available, you still maintain this mindset.

In Qingsang Town, being able to cultivate "just a little" faster than the Lin Family's disciples is enough to earn praise.

In the Mo Tian Sect, being "just a little" stronger than one's peers is enough to secure a foothold.

At the Wandao Academy, being ranked "slightly" higher than others was considered acceptable.

Your life may seem to be steadily improving, but in reality, you've never truly broken through your own limits.

The Lin Family, the Mo Tian Sect, the Academy... you've done a great job in every place.

But when real disaster strikes, what's needed is never "good enough," but "must win."

(Additional comment: If you pushed yourself to the limit every time you said "just a little," and if you chose "not enough" every time you said "enough," perhaps that day the Alien Race wouldn't even have had the right to raise their hand. Unfortunately, life doesn't offer "what ifs.")
