Rebirth, Simulated Memories?

Mu Xingqi stared at the simulation interface for a long time, unable to pull himself away.

In the end, he could only sigh mournfully. His parents, relatives, and even the entire Lineage were ultimately doomed to slaughter.

"Could it be that the me in the simulation couldn't foresee what happened three years ago?" Mu Xingqi wondered aloud.

He had simulated so many times and discovered a point of doubt.

That was, the simulated version of himself knew nothing about his future fate.

Otherwise, the simulated him could have warned Grandfather about the dangers of the secret realm beforehand.

Then his grandfather would not have returned gravely injured, and in the end, the entire Mu Family would not have been exterminated by the Wang Family.

"Forget it. I'll choose the reward first. Only by becoming stronger can I change this predetermined fate!" Mu Xingqi declared boldly.

He chose to break through all methods with sheer force!

As long as he was strong enough, what Wang Family Ancestor, what Foundation Establishment expert—he would slap them to death with one hand.

[Simulation complete. You may choose one of the following rewards.]

[Qi Refining Sixth Layer cultivation: The result of your three years of cultivation. Although you were infatuated with beauty and often neglected cultivation, you possessed Spiritual Energy Affinity. Coupled with the cultivation resources your mother provided, you successfully stepped into the Qi Refining Sixth Layer, and your cultivation was stable.]

[Summary of Pill and Herb Knowledge: You once learned knowledge related to pills and spiritual herbs from your mother and Mu Xinger. However, since your heart was not in it, what you mastered was merely superficial knowledge, unfit for the grand stage.]

[Illustrated Book Exchanged with Fellow Daoist: This illustrated book was your treasured hidden collection. You often used it to vent your urges. Its illustrations were exquisite beyond compare, and its artistry was marvelous. Even you, with your many reading experiences from your previous life, were moved by it.]

"..."

"Was this illustrated book really that captivating?" Mu Xingqi could not help asking, curiosity appearing on his face.

Mu Xingqi made his choice decisively.

"You, then!"

Spiritual power surged, and his cultivation smoothly broke through to the Qi Refining Sixth Layer.

Of course, he chose the Qi Refining Sixth Layer cultivation. Did that even require hesitation?

Did he look like the sort of lecherous bastard infatuated with beauty?

Obviously not!

He, Mu Xingqi, was not that kind of person!

He swore it!

Just then, the formerly clear sky outside suddenly filled with dark clouds.

"Rumble!"

Thunder abruptly roared!

"How strange... The weather was perfectly fine just now. Why did it suddenly start thundering?" The baffled voices of the servants outside reached Mu Xingqi's ears.

He only felt his face burning.

"One more round. Just one last round." Mu Xingqi opened the Simulator again.

[Remaining Simulation Points: 30]

In truth, the Simulation Points he had left were only enough for one simulation.

[Simulator initializing]

[Detected that the previous Simulation Talent has not been saved. Would you like to move the Simulation Talent "Infatuation with Beauty (White)" into a Talent Slot?]

[Remaining Talent Slots: 0]

"No."

[Simulation starting]

[20 Simulation Points deducted]

[Remaining Simulation Points: 10]

[Randomly drawing Simulation Talent...]

[Simulation Talent drawn: Simulated Memory]

[Congratulations, you have obtained the blue Simulation Talent: Simulated Memory]

[Simulated Memory (Blue): You possess the memories of the previous simulation.]

"Ah?"

"Ah?!"

"A blue legend!"

"This Simulated Memory was simply heaven-defying! What difference was there between this and rebirth?"

"This was practically a cheat!"

[In the morning, you sprang upright from your bed. You had a dream.]

[A dream about the future!]

[Although you were not yet certain whether this dream was real, it planted a seed deep within your heart.]

[You could not forget your parents and relatives dying tragically before your eyes, while you were powerless to do anything.]

[In the end, after burning your Spirit Root and leading Mu Xinger out of the encirclement, you resolutely chose to turn back, then self-destruct.]

[You did not know how much damage your self-destruction had caused the Wang Family. Perhaps it was just like the Jade-Faced Grenade King.]

[This made you believe in the dream's authenticity somewhat more.]

[The next day, you began cultivating.]

[You discovered that your speed of absorbing and refining spiritual energy had doubled.]

[You did not know why, but this also gave you greater confidence in facing the future.]

[You accidentally discovered a bottle of Yellow Grade Mid Rank Qi Gathering Pills in the drawer of your room. You did not know where this bottle of pills had come from.]

[But your intuition told you that you could take these pills without worry.]

[You refined one Qi Gathering Pill every three days. Ten days later, all the Qi Gathering Pills had been refined and absorbed by you.]

[One month later, your cultivation still remained at the Qi Refining Sixth Layer.]

[You thought you had encountered a bottleneck.]

[At a family meal, you told your parents that you had broken through to the Qi Refining Sixth Layer.]

[Both your parents were greatly shocked.]

[After confirming that your cultivation had indeed broken through to the Qi Refining Sixth Layer.]

[Your father even declared outright, "My son has Deity Transformation Potential!"]

[Your parents asked why you had broken through so quickly.]

[After all, only two months had passed since you awakened your Spirit Root.]

[Qi Refining Sixth Layer in two months!]

[Even ghosts would not believe it if it were told to them.]

[If your parents had not been certain that the person before them was still their child, they might have thought they had seen a ghost.]

[You explained, "Not long after awakening my Spirit Root, my absorption and refinement speed of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy doubled. I don't know why either."]

[Your parents looked at each other, then turned to look at you.]

[Your father spoke, "Qi'er, do you remember the Special Constitution we told you about before?"]

[You nodded, indicating that you remembered.]

[Your father continued, "Qi'er, your rapid breakthrough was most likely due to your Special Constitution awakening!"]

["A Special Constitution needs to awaken too?" you asked curiously.]

[Your father continued, "Of course. No Special Constitution awakens from birth; one must find a special opportunity."]

["A Special Constitution is like a seed. Only under suitable conditions can it take root and sprout."]

["And Qi'er, perhaps you accidentally awakened your Special Constitution. Otherwise, how could your cultivation have advanced so quickly?"]

[Without needing you to explain much, your father had already found a reason for you.]

[Special Constitution awakening.]

[This was not unprecedented. From what you learned through your father, the Divine Phoenix Venerable, now renowned across the continent, had accidentally awakened her Special Constitution in her youth, directly raising her cultivation from Qi Refining First Layer to Qi Refining Ninth Layer.]

[Thus, when they learned that you had already broken through to the Qi Refining Sixth Layer, your parents were shocked, but upon further thought, found it reasonable.]

[Otherwise, your parents would surely have regarded you as a monster. How could they have spoken with you so calmly?]

["Unfortunately, our Lineage knows too little about the secret lore of Special Constitutions. We do not even know what kind of Special Constitution Qi'er has awakened." Your father said with a bitter expression.]

[How could secret lore related to Special Constitutions possibly be something a tiny Foundation Establishment Family like theirs could possess?]

[You comforted your father. Even without secret lore about Special Constitutions, had you not still awakened one yourself?]

[You felt that the explanation of a Special Constitution was very suitable for explaining why your cultivation had risen too quickly. In any case, their Lineage had no secret lore concerning Special Constitutions.]

[If you said you had a Special Constitution, who would doubt it?]

[Even if they did doubt it, there would be no proof, dead men telling no tales.]

[At least, that was what you thought for now.]

[When your father learned that you had encountered the bottleneck of Qi Refining Seventh Layer, he patiently began explaining his insights on breaking through into Late Stage Qi Refining...]
