As Long as I Have Simulation Counts, I'm Invincible!
No wonder my future self cared about her so much.
This woman is too dangerous.
Fortunately, she's on my side now.
Lv Yingxin was slightly taken aback, seemingly not expecting him to say that. Then her eyes curved into a smile, revealing an undisguised joy.
I like hearing that.
"The future is unpredictable. Countless people have offered exorbitant sums to come to my door, yet they can't exchange even a single word of my truth."
"But it's you who keeps coming to me, offering yourself up again and again." She leaned closer, lowering her voice, "Tell me, how should you thank me?"
Upon closer examination, Lv Yingxin had indeed given her quite a lot.
Qin Wangchuan met her gaze, which was so close to his own, and nodded slightly. "What do you want?"
Lv Yingxin pretended to think about it seriously.
"That... kiss?"
As she spoke, she seemed to recall that absurd scene, and she laughed to herself.
"Come on, kissing already?"
"Qin Wangchuan, the future me has fallen in love with you. But the present me—hasn't."
Having said that, he stepped back half a step and resumed his arrogant, condescending demeanor.
Only a lingering smile remained in his eyes.
"Finally, I'll give you one more piece of information."
"Qing Ruoli is not even in this realm."
Qin Wangchuan's gaze narrowed slightly.
Xuanye, that guy, never tells the truth.
Seemingly anticipating his thoughts, Lv Yingxin gently shook her head.
"Xuanye didn't lie to you, but his ambition was too blatant. Qing Ruoli had long anticipated that he would make a move. So this time, she not only excluded him but also laid a trap, waiting to reap the rewards when she returned."
"They're quite the schemers, aren't they? Where is she?"
"Lower Thousand Provinces, Swallowing Cloud Realm."
"Lower Thousand Provinces?"
Qin Wangchuan repeated it, clearly not believing it.
Lower Thousand Provinces truly possessed such a heaven-defying treasure, it would have attracted countless powerful figures to fight over it long ago; how could it have remained untouched until now?
Seeing his reaction, Lv Yingxin was not surprised.
You're right.
"The Lower Thousand Provinces are the lowest level of the Three Thousand Provinces, where the strong roam freely and times change. If it were merely a treasure buried within, it would indeed be impossible for it to have survived to this day."
At this point, her gaze became meaningful.
"But what if it wasn't buried somewhere at all?"
"You mean..."
"The Swallowing Cloud Realm itself is the Tide-Calming Cloud-Swallowing Bracer."
The realm itself is actually a supreme treasure?!
Before Qin Wangchuan could recover from his shock, Lv Yingxin continued:
"The Swallowing Cloud Realm was originally a fragment that collapsed from Foreign Lands Divine Mountain in another realm. After it drifted here, it gradually evolved into a realm. The ancients tried to return it to its rightful place several times, but were always blocked by your Three Thousand Provinces."
"In the end, they could only resort to Secret Method, attempting to capture the entire realm and take it away with them using the Tide-Stabilizing Wristband. Unfortunately, the Secret Method failed, and all those involved were killed."
"Qing Ruoli's purpose in coming here is to take away the Swallowing Cloud Realm and open the Divine Mountain."
She paused briefly at this point.
"If I am not mistaken, the Swallowing Cloud Realm has now been occupied by Alien Race."
"You'd better bring more people with you on this trip."
"Whom you take with you determines the outcome. I've seen many possibilities, but only one can have a happy ending."
Those eyes gazed at him silently, as if they already knew his choice.
"However, if it were you, you should know how to choose."
I really don't know.
Qin Wangchuan mentally complained, while simultaneously reviewing the available personnel for this trip.
Having the strongest members of the clan take action is naturally the easiest approach.
With just one sentence, not only would Qing Ruoli be reduced to Qing Ruoli, but even her father's father would be reduced to dust.
But if it were really that simple, Lv Yingxin wouldn't have said that.
Chu Wujiu and the others would be suitable.
Although they are still hunting down Alien Race, they can arrive at any time with just a message.
Qin Wangchuan pondered for a moment, and then an idea suddenly came to him.
What to do when you're unsure what to do?
That is naturally--
The long-awaited simulation is starting!
[Directional Simulation initiated.]
[Please select a simulation location.]
"Lower Thousand Provinces, Swallowing Cloud Realm."
[Please select the simulation scope: a specific domain, a Secret Realm, or the entire domain.]
"The entire domain."
[This simulation spans two realms and requires 4 Simulation Count.]
[Continue?]
"Continue."
[Simulation Count - 4]
[Remaining Simulation Count: 22]
[Due to the high number of simulation attempts required, the reward coefficient has been increased to 200%]
[Reward options increased to: 6]
[You can choose to inherit two rewards this time.]
[The Swallowing Cloud Realm - Global Directional Simulation has begun.]
[Your name is Chen Gou'er, born in Wutang Town, Southern Border of the Swallowing Cloud Realm, Lower Thousand Provinces.]
[The father was a blacksmith in town, and the mother supplemented the family income by selling rice wine. Although the family was poor, they lived a relatively stable life.]
[You have no Spirit Root, no special physique, and have never been burdened with any earth-shattering destiny.]
[You are just an ordinary mortal among the countless beings in the Swallowing Cloud Realm Devouring Realm.]
[Year 0]
You were thin and small when you were born, and your cries sounded like those of a newborn kitten.
The mother was worried it would break, so she held it in her arms all day and wouldn't let go.
Your father squatted on the doorstep for a long time, and finally gave you a name that everyone thought was awful—Doggy.
"A humble name makes a child easier to raise."
"A harsher name makes for a tougher life."
Your father doesn't expect you to achieve anything great in the future.
I only hope that this child can grow up safely and peacefully.
Qin Wangchuan's gaze lingered on the three words "Chen Gou'er" for a moment, his expression slightly strange.
"That's one explanation."
[Year 1]
When you reached the age to learn to speak, you were no different from other children.
Your father would spend all day teaching you to call him "Dad," and your mother, not to be outdone, would coax you to call her "Mom" over and over again.
But then you look at this, then that, and finally point to the big yellow dog passing by outside the door, and shout:
"Dog."
The couple were taken aback at first, then burst into laughter.
Your father patted your head.
"Okay, at least you know your own name."
[Year 3]
You weren't late in speaking, but you were much later than other children in learning to walk.
While other children your age in town are already running around freely in the streets, you can still only hold onto the door frame and shuffle forward step by step.
Parents may not say it, but they can't help but worry.
Until one day, that big yellow dog snatched the sweet cake from your hand.
In your haste, you let go of the doorframe and stumbled after him.
He tripped and fell after running only a few steps.
You lay on the ground, stunned for a moment, but didn't cry. You scrambled to your feet and continued chasing.
From then on, you learned to walk.
And as if trying to make up for all the mistakes they had made, they wandered around the town all day long.
If the mother wasn't careful, she would disappear without a trace.
[Year 4]
You first heard the words "cultivator" outside the tea stall at the entrance of town.
The storyteller clapped his gavel and said that those people could move mountains and overturn seas, and could fly through the air on Ride sword. If they cultivated to a high level, they could even live for thousands of years.
You don't understand what a thousand years means.
But I firmly remembered that sentence—it can fly in the sky.
After returning home, you pestered your father to tell you exactly who cultivators were.
The father put down the hammer, thought for a long time, and then pointed to the sky above and said:
"They are Immortal who live in the heavens."
"So, will I be able to live in the sky someday?"
Your father laughed heartily, picked you up, and placed you on his shoulder.
"Yes, why not?"
"If my dog could really become Immortal, that would be far more successful than my dad spending his whole life as a blacksmith!"
As he spoke, he pointed out towards the outside of town.
"In a few years, the Azure Mountain Sect will come to the area to recruit disciples. At that time, your father will take you to have your Spirit Root tested. Maybe our family will really produce a little Immortal."
You leaned on your father's shoulder, gazing up at the sky that seemed almost within reach, your eyes gradually brightening.
That night, you tossed and turned in bed, peering through the cracks in the roof for a long time.
I always felt that there was a world completely different from Wutang Town hidden in that night sky.
