There are no sun, moon, or stars within the Micro World.

Under the control of Han Han, the interior perpetually maintains the appearance of daytime, and the original plains have been partitioned into various distinct zones.

The residential area is that standard-issue spacecraft.

"Although it is an ordinary standard-issue ship, the internal facilities are top-tier compared to my previous life."

Han Han walks out of his room and sits on the sofa.

He does not need to worry about his words being scrutinized by a Universe Lord reversing time and space; the Life Simulation System is something that defies the theories of space-time, and a Universe Lord is not qualified to interfere with it.

"The simulation count should have refreshed."

Han Han sinks his consciousness inward and, as expected, discovers that the simulation count has accumulated to 1. "I currently possess a wealth of power but lack technique; I hope I can obtain a secret manual this time."

[Life Simulation begins]

[22 years old, you are cultivating in the Micro World.]

[23 years old, both you and the Iron Vine Grass break through to the first level of the Star Rank.] (There is only a little over two months between 22 and 23.)

[For the sake of safety, you decide to cultivate the Iron Vine Grass to the ninth level of the Star Rank before fleeing Thousand Leaf Planet; after all, no matter how strong the defense is, it cannot withstand a Universe Rank powerhouse.]

[25 years old, you break through to the fifth level of the Star Rank, and the Iron Vine Grass breaks through to the ninth level of the Star Rank. The timing is ripe, and you begin to strike against the slave traders on Thousand Leaf Planet.]

[You seize a life planet.]

[You leave Cui'en Planet and head to a life planet called Cloud Mist to live in seclusion. This is a transportation hub planet where many powerhouses come and go every day.]

[33 years old, you break through to the first level of the Universe Rank, but the Iron Vine Grass remains stuck at the ninth level of the Universe Rank. You speculate that this might be because a Domain Lord needs to comprehend a domain; although plant life forms do not need to comprehend it themselves, there is certainly difficulty involved, especially for the Iron Vine Grass.]

[You cast your gaze toward other plant life forms.]

[You return to Cui'en Planet, because you have become a Universe Rank powerhouse; even if the slave traders of Thousand Leaf Planet know of you, they cannot make a move here.]

[You arrive at the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion.]

[After inquiring, you discover that the seedlings of powerful plant life forms are, without exception, extremely expensive, and you cannot afford them at all.]

[You set your target on seeds, because the Locke Divine Water contains incredibly rich life energy. Others might need to spend a great price to have a chance at making the seeds germinate into seedlings, but for you, it is very simple.]

"Smart." Han Han is very satisfied.

The Locke Divine Water is not just rich life energy; it is life energy of an extremely high level—it is a treasure capable of restoring an Immortal Divine Body.

Of course.

Using a treasure like the Locke Divine Water to germinate plant life seeds is a guaranteed loss; no one would ever do it.

Han Han, however, says:

What does the me in the simulation have to do with reality?

Use it!

Use it ruthlessly!

What I want is to use the Locke Divine Water to germinate the seeds so that I can obtain the seedlings directly.

[The staff member is surprised by your request, but such things happen often as people try their luck. He shows you more than ten types of plant life seeds.]

[Each one has a detailed introduction, including the treasures required for subsequent cultivation and their strength potential, etc.]

[You are somewhat disappointed.]

[The weakest of these plant life forms can only be cultivated to the ninth level of the Star Rank, and the strongest can only reach the World Lord level. You ultimately choose three Gold Wood Grass seeds, which can be cultivated up to the peak of the ninth level of the World Lord rank; this is mainly because the Gold Wood Grass can transform into armor.]

[That staff member is somewhat disdainful, though it is very subtle, you still notice it.]

[The manager of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion finds out and comes to apologize to you, stating that the staff member is yours to deal with. You express that it doesn't matter, just give you the Gold Wood Grass seeds quickly.]

[The order, which originally required ten days to ship, is delivered to your hands in just seven days. At the same time, 1,000 Iron Vine Grass seeds and a simple instrument for detecting the status of seeds are included as a gift.]

[You lose 3 million Cuilang Coins.]

[The Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion indicates that if you intend to sell them after successful cultivation, you should consider them first, and the price will satisfy you.]

[You handle them perfunctorily on the surface, but you have already decided that no matter how many you cultivate, you will absolutely not sell them, and you won't even let others know that you have cultivated seedlings.]

[Of course, the Iron Vine Grass seedlings are the exception.]

[You toss all the seeds into the lake of Locke Divine Water at once; after all, you don't know how to cultivate them, so whether they germinate or not depends entirely on heaven's will.]

[34 years old, you break through to the second level of the Universe Rank, and the Iron Vine Grass is still at the ninth level of the Universe Rank.]

[All 1,003 of your seeds have germinated, except for the three Gold Wood Grass seeds. You use the instrument to detect them, and only one of the Gold Wood Grass seeds has completely rotted.]

[You know about that one; it seemed wrong when you bought it.]

[You marvel at the power of the Locke Divine Water while feeling troubled about how to deal with the 1,000 Iron Vine Grass seedlings.]

"..." Han Han is silent. "1,000 Iron Vine Grasses—I can't sell them, and cultivating them is a bit of a waste of resources. As expected of me, I really am 'meticulous'."

[Since they cannot be sold, you have them recognize you as their master one by one, and at the same time, you arrange these Iron Vine Grasses everywhere, forming a Green Vine World.]

[At 38 years old, you break through to the ninth rank of the Universe Rank, and the Iron Vine Grass finally breaks through to the Domain Lord level, comprehending the Wood Domain. Meanwhile, the Gold Wood Grass successfully sprouted a year ago and, after absorbing the Locke Divine Water, broke through to the first rank of the Star Rank.]

[You marvel at how massive the difference in potential truly is.]

[Feeling that your strength is now sufficient, you begin to wait for an opportunity to take revenge on the slave trader from back then; after all, the strength of a ninth-rank Universe Rank is already quite formidable in the surrounding star systems.]

[Unfortunately.]

[You did not expect that the slave trader had actually befriended a Domain Lord from the Heaven Seeking Pavilion named Huashan. The Heaven Seeking Pavilion is one of the immortal factions of the Cuilang Empire.]

[Huashan steps forward to speak with you, expressing his amazement that you were able to break through to the ninth rank of the Universe Rank in such a short amount of time.]

[You are suspected.]

[Given your strange behavior on Thousand Leaf Planet back then, combined with your rapid breakthrough now, they are highly certain that it is not due to your own talent, but rather some treasure.]

"Hiss~"

Han Han is also helpless.

His talent back then was truly too poor; even breaking through to the Planetary Rank was a problem, and he had essentially relied on system choices to instantly raise his cultivation realm.

He just didn't expect that the data records he failed to destroy on Thousand Leaf Planet would still pose this hidden danger.

"I'll destroy them completely when I leave," Han Han says.

This must have been investigated later on; after all, how could he have possibly attracted Huashan's attention back then?

[Huashan readily gifts Thousand Leaf Planet to you to settle the grudge between you and the slave trader, but his true goal is to lure you away from Cui'en Planet.]

[Unaware of this, you agree, operating under the mindset of "why not take it if it's free."]

[As your spaceship heads toward Thousand Leaf Planet, a D3-Class Spaceship follows you. Due to the gap in technology between the ships, you are completely unable to detect it.]

[You are attacked.]

[A single shot from the main cannon of the D3-Class Spaceship blasts your ship into dust, and you are severely wounded and fall into a coma.]

[Huashan arrives before you.]

[You are implanted with a Slave Chip.]

[Upon waking, you find yourself inside Huashan's spaceship and sense the presence of the Slave Chip. Without breaking through to the Domain Lord level, there is no way to evade its control.]

[You decide to fight with everything you have.]

[Because even if you hand over the Locke Divine Water, Huashan would never let you go in order to keep his secret. With a single thought, the spaceship is flooded with the Domain Lord-level Iron Vine Grass.]

[Unfortunately, the Iron Vine Grass is only at the first rank of the Domain Lord level, while Huashan is at the fourth rank. You are unable to achieve an instant kill.]

[After struggling for a moment with no results, Huashan chooses to detonate the Slave Chip in your brain.]

[You have died.]

[This simulation has ended.]
