Another Simulation

"Go on, all of you."

Ponu waved his hand, and the domain structure manifesting in mid-air vanished, returning the plaza to its original state.

It was not hard to see.

Everyone present had gained a great deal, and although reluctant, they left one after another via teleportation.

Han Han and Nalan also tacitly avoided idle chatter, returning to their respective quarters to digest the content of the public lecture; after all, the sooner one memorized it, the deeper the impression would be.

Before he knew it.

It wasn't until the simulation count refreshed that Han Han finally finished the preliminary digestion of the material.

"A World Lord is truly a World Lord."

"A single public lecture was enough to give me a glimpse of the second level of the Wood Domain." Han Han released his domain, which had already undergone a slight change compared to before.

Han Han was also clear on this.

With his third-tier bloodline and having consumed Ice Flower, his talent for laws definitely rivaled that of a first-tier bloodline, perhaps even exceeding it. Such talent was already considered quite remarkable among the general human race.

"Beep!"

His Smart Optical Computer sent a notification; it was Nalan, inviting Han Han to enter the Virtual Universe to exchange experiences.

"No rush."

Han Han sank his consciousness into the system. It will be the same to communicate after the simulation.

[Simulation count: 0]

[Life simulation begins]

[25 years old: Having initially digested the content of the public lecture, you are invited by Nalan, a core genius of the Ganwu Dojo, to exchange notes. You gladly agree and meet in the Virtual Universe.]

[Nalan was previously at the eighth level of the Wood Domain, but to your surprise, she is already at the ninth level upon meeting. You suspect Nalan is a genius being specifically cultivated for the upcoming Strongest Tournament.]

[The gap between your domain levels is too wide; you only manage to supplement some parts of the public lecture content, but it is not without gains.]

[26 years old: You break through to Star Rank and discover that the location of the mysterious coordinates is the Thousand Wave Secret Realm, one of the assessment sites used by the Universe Mercenary Alliance. Unfortunately, the next time it is scheduled to be used as an assessment site is 14 years away.]

[You immerse yourself in cultivation.]

[27 years old: Your domain breaks through to the second level.]

[30 years old: You break through to the ninth stage of Star Rank, while your friend Nalan has already broken through to Universe Rank and has long since stepped across the threshold of laws.]

[You do not care about this.]

[After all, your Gold Wood Grass has broken through to the ninth stage of Universe Rank, and your Iron Vine Grass is also at Universe Rank, with the Spirit Silk Grass not far behind. In reality, you could completely crush Nalan.]

[35 years old: You break through to the fourth stage of Universe Rank.]

[At this moment, you discover a drawback: using Locke Divine Water for cultivation requires your active participation and cannot automatically evolve the body like nutrient fluid. This causes your domain to only reach the third level after eight years.]

[The Strongest Tournament begins.]

[You and Nalan sign up together, but unfortunately, you stop at the preliminary rounds, while Nalan ranks first in that world sector.]

[You feel happy for her.]

[36 years old: Nalan successfully squeezes into the Doomsday Secret Realm of the Virtual Universe Company. You are slightly surprised by this, as Nalan had previously told you her law talent was still lacking.]

[After inquiring, you learn that Nalan had a breakthrough in the heat of the moment, comprehending a trace of the Space Law and successfully ranking in the final spot.]

[You marvel at her luck.]

[37 years old: By teaching the Rotten Wood Blade, you have accumulated quite a bit of wealth and use a discount to purchase three A-grade Bloodline Evolution Agents.]

[You consume them, but the effect is mediocre.]

[38 years old: You break through to the ninth stage of Universe Rank. At this point, you stop breaking through your realm and focus entirely on comprehending the Wood Domain.]

[40 years old: Your Wood Domain breaks through to the fourth level.]

[You feel the time is ripe; after all, your various plant lifeforms have all become Domain Lords, and the Gold Wood Grass and Spirit Silk Grass are even high-stage Domain Lords.]

[You sign up for the 1-Star Mercenary assessment.]

[You enter the Thousand Wave Secret Realm as you wished. Once inside, you no longer suppress your realm and break through to the Domain Lord rank in one step. After all, you already possess the greatest shackle—the domain—and breaking through during the assessment is fully permitted by the rules.]

[As a Domain Lord, hunting the Ice Prism Beast is effortless; you finish it on your way to the coordinates.]

[You dive into the icy seawater.]

[Because you are a Domain Lord and have purchased a D3-Grade Origin Force Battle Suit, you can dive into the depths even without the protection of the Gold Wood Grass.]

[You see the Ice Flower.]

[Through the Virtual Universe, you learn that this Ice Flower is still in the mid-stage of gestation, and its effect may only be half of a complete one, but you cannot wait for it to finish gestating.]

[You move toward it.]

[Fortunately, as an examinee, the rules set by the Universe Mercenary Alliance allow examinees to obtain certain secret realm resources.]

[You have obtained Ice Flower]

[Although the Ice Flower is only a semi-finished product, it is still worth about 10 Hunyuan Units. If you take it out, the Universe Mercenary Alliance will only allow you to sell it to the alliance]

[You were already searching for treasures to improve your law talent, but unfortunately, there wasn't a single one you could afford]

[After some thought, you absorb the Ice Flower on the spot]

[Afterward, you plan to leave the Thousand Wave Secret Realm. After all, the staff warned you not to explore too deeply when you entered, as there are no treasures and numerous Domain Lord rank exotic beasts]

[You hand over the Ice Prism]

[You become a 1-star Universe Mercenary]

[The staff informs you that since the Ice Flower you obtained must either be used by yourself or sold to the alliance, they are willing to purchase it for 10 Hunyuan Units]

[You state that you have already absorbed it]

[The staff is somewhat surprised, then leads you to a room where you meet the Immortal-Guna]

[Guna notices that you have world storage equipment in your body, but because you are a Domain Lord and belong to the Ganwu Dojo, he does not suspect you because of it]

[He asks you to demonstrate your comprehension of laws, because as long as one has absorbed an Ice Flower, law patterns will appear on the surface of the body]

[You feel a sense of foreboding]

[After the law patterns appear, Guna is slightly surprised and asks how you had absorbed an Ice Flower before, as the law patterns are already perfect. At this moment, a sliver of his consciousness enters the Virtual Universe to investigate you; the price of an Ice Flower is not cheap even for a World Lord]

[He discovers that you had actually purchased two Ice Heart Potions back when you were at the Planetary Rank, and you have no so-called Domain Lord elders]

[Nobody would care about such things unless they were deliberately investigating, but you just happened to run into it]

[Guna smiles]

"It's this Guna again."

Han Han feels that he is not far from death.

[You feel that things are going poorly, so you quickly state that you have a friendship with Nalan, a member of the Doomsday Secret Realm of the Virtual Universe Company. Guna feels a bit troubled]

[Guna does not answer, clearly having gone to investigate]

[After looking into it, he discovers that you really do have a connection with Nalan, and a very good one at that, but you seem to be very unlucky. Guna is proficient in the path of the soul]

[He decides to take a gamble]

[After all, the fact that you purchased two Ice Heart Potions means you have consumed two Ice Flowers, and his actions would not cause any problems even if he failed; there is no loss]

[You feel a terrifyingly powerful force drill directly into your soul]

[Guna intends to enslave you. Since Nalan is only a member of the Doomsday Secret Realm and ranked at the very bottom, in his view, the probability of her breaking through to become an Immortal is not high. Not to mention whether she would be able to discover that you have been soul-enslaved, even if it were exposed, he would only receive a painless, inconsequential punishment]

[You are unable to resist]

[You are soul-enslaved by Guna and become the weakest servant under his command]

[This simulation has ended]
