[With Tang San's divine soul utterly destroyed, the gloom that had shrouded Douluo Continent for ten thousand years finally lifted.]
[You showed no mercy, casually wiping out Tang Hao, who was hiding in the lower realm, along with Ah Yin, who was dwelling within the Golden Tree.]
[If you don't pull out the roots, the weeds will grow back when spring comes. Since you'd chosen to be the villain, you might as well go all the way!]
[You ascended to the peak of the Divine Realm and used the authority of the God of Creation to remake the order of things!]
[Your first act was to expand the Divine Realm, bringing your parents, your teacher Du Busi, and Di Qiu'er up to the realm to share in eternal life.]
[Several years later, a new god arrived in the Divine Realm.]
[The God of Emotion, Huo Yuhao.]
[The Butterfly God, Wang Dong'er, ascended alongside him.]
[Because Da Ming and Er Ming had died ahead of schedule, and Tang San was dead, Wang Dong'er never became the manipulated "Tang Wutong." She was simply Wang Dong'er.]
[Watching the couple finally end up together, you smiled faintly. Perhaps this was the best ending for them.]
[After that, you fulfilled your promise.]
[You resurrected Snow Empress and Xiao Bai, then changed the rules of the Divine Realm, breaking the ironclad law that Soul Beasts could not become gods!]
[Gu Yuena, Di Tian, and the other Ferocious Beasts wept with joy and ascended one after another. Under your protection, humans and Soul Beasts lived together in true peace in the Divine Realm.]
[God King of Destruction was all for it, too. After all, expanding the Divine Realm had always been his lifelong dream. Watching the Divine Realm grow stronger by the day, God King of Destruction couldn't stop grinning.]
[In the lower realm, the Sun Moon Empire unified the continent, Soul Guidance Technology advanced rapidly, and the age of Battle Armor arrived.]
[In the Divine Realm, a space-time turbulence swept in.]
[Faced with the calamity from the original story, you merely raised a hand. Creation God power surged, smoothing out the turbulence that could have destroyed the Divine Realm.]
[Being invincible was so lonely.]
[To pass the time, you launched a plane war.]
[The Abyss Plane, the Demon Plane, the Heavenly Dragon Realm, the Deep Crimson Realm... One powerful plane after another had nowhere to hide from your "Epitaph," and in the end, they all became nourishment for the Divine Realm.]
[Under your leadership, the Divine Realm advanced to become a God Star!]
[However, you hit a bottleneck.]
[The plane level of the Douluo Universe was too low. It could no longer contain a figure as mighty as you.]
["The world is so big. I want to go see it."]
[After entrusting the Divine Realm to God King of Destruction, you resolutely set off with Di Qiu'er on a journey to explore the myriad heavens.]
[Passing through the chaotic void, you broke through the barriers between universes, and your strength finally surpassed its limits!]
[Who knew how much time had passed when you arrived on an ancient, weathered planet.]
[A calamity known as the "Dark Turmoil" seemed to be unfolding here. The people were drenched in blood, and all living things wailed.]
[Though you joked that you were a God of Creation who'd come from the "bottom rung of the fantasy genre," the fire in your heart had not gone out.]
["When you see injustice, draw your blade and help!"]
[You boldly struck out, fighting a Supreme-level powerhouse who had unleashed the turmoil!]
[King Crimson, full power! Epitaph blared warnings!]
[After a fierce battle, you relied on your bizarre time abilities and actually managed to wear the powerhouse down and kill him, forcibly bringing the turmoil in this corner to an end!]
["Whew... Looks like I'm pretty strong, too."]
[Just as you were about to breathe easy and bask in the people's worship.]
[Hum—!]
[Your Epitaph suddenly sounded an alarm more shrill than any before! It was the wail of death!]
[A vision of the future flashed before your eyes:]
[A colossal hand blotted out the sky as it reached from the depths of the universe. Its mere aura shattered galaxies and erased the Great Dao!]
[That being didn't even spare you a glance. With a casual grab, it refined the entire planet you were on, along with you, the so-called "God of Creation," into a blood pill!]
[You were stunned.]
[Run? Not a chance. Before such overwhelming power, even time was frozen.]
[Squish.]
[You died.]
[Simulation ended.]
Su Chen stared at the final line on the simulator, the corner of his mouth twitching uncontrollably.
"Dark Turmoil... refining an entire planet..."
"Did I seriously wander into a high-level game?!"
"I was a God of Creation from Douluo, and I went to a place where immortals fought each other? I might as well have been handing them my head!"
"This time, I really did... stumble into the imperial household's domain..."
[Second simulation ended. Calculating rewards...]
"Phew..."
Su Chen slowly exhaled and rubbed his aching temples.
Though the simulation's ending had been a bit of a pain in the ass—he'd been refined—it didn't stop him from enjoying himself while it lasted.
Besides, the longer you survived, the higher your score and the better your rewards!
"Come on! Give me a golden legend!"
Su Chen held his breath and stared intently at the pale-blue screen only he could see, his heart racing.
[Reward draw complete!]
[Congratulations, host! Great fortune is upon you! Your luck is through the roof!]
[You have received the following rewards:]
[Second Martial Soul: King Crimson: Future (Enhanced Version)!]
Perfectly inherits all the abilities from the simulation and solidifies "Epitaph" as an innate skill, which can be activated without a Soul Ring!
[Innate Domain: Time Erasure!]
Within this domain, you are the ruler of time. You can freely erase the next ten seconds of future that would be unfavorable to you.
[Soul Power Level +10!]
"Holy shit! I've hit the jackpot! I really hit the jackpot this time!"
Su Chen's eyes flashed with brilliant light!
This wasn't a reward. It was a full set of divine gear handed right to him!
His First Martial Soul, the Pluto Sword, ruled over slaughter and destruction, with its attack power maxed out!
His Second Martial Soul, King Crimson, controlled time and causality, making it bizarre and unpredictable!
One focused on attack, the other on the uncanny—Twin Martial Souls!
And on top of that, he had the heaven-defying Time Erasure domain and ten extra Soul Power levels out of nowhere...
"I may not be a god yet, but among those at the same level, I'm an absolute dimensional mismatch!"
Su Chen clenched his fist, feeling the surging power within him.
More importantly, he had all the memories from the simulation!
He knew where the treasures and dangers were, and who was friend or foe!
Wasn't this just like playing a game with a max-level walkthrough? It'd be harder not to become invincible!
Just as Su Chen was lost in pleasant fantasies about the future.
Star Dou Great Forest, core region.
By the Lake of Life.
Sunlight filtered through the dense leaves and fell upon the lake, making the water shimmer.
A strange Soul Beast, golden all over and with three eyes, lay lazily on the grass, basking in the sun.
She was the auspicious beast of the Star Dou Great Forest, the Emperor Auspicious Beast—the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.
Suddenly!
The auspicious beast, who had been dozing with her eyes half-closed, jerked her head up!
Her lively golden eyes opened wide, as if she had seen something unbelievable.
Her third, vertical eye trembled violently, radiating dazzling light of destiny!
A vast, unfamiliar flood of memories surged into her mind.
The boy who had taken her to play in a remote place where no one lived...
The boy who had accepted the Spirit Bone she gave him without a hint of hesitation...
The boy with whom she had willingly shared her power of destiny, and whom she had even wanted to follow when he left...
The images grew clearer, and the feelings more real.
The auspicious beast froze.
"W-what is this? That human called Su Chen... Who is he?"
