As you completed the Asura God Trial, your cultivation rose at an astonishing pace. You soon passed the first five trials and broke through to Level 80, receiving the Asura God's gift: a Hundred-Thousand-Year Eighth Soul Ring.
But just then, Spirit Hall launched the Soul Hunting Operation, ambushing the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. The entire Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was wiped out, while the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect suffered heavy casualties. Your grandfather even lost an arm.
The Heaven Dou Empire was thrown into turmoil as well. The crown prince Xue Qinghe, whom Ning Fengzhi had always favored, was actually Qian Renxue, the daughter of Spirit Hall's previous pope. She poisoned Emperor Xue Ye and seized control of the entire empire.
When you rushed back to your sect to offer aid, Tang Hao blocked your path once more. Grief over his son's death had turned him into something barely human. His sole purpose in life was now to kill you and avenge his son.
But you were no longer the person you had been back then. Though you had yet to break through to Titled Douluo, you could now hold your own against Tang Hao. In fact, thanks to your own strength and the Asura Demon Sword, you managed to wound him.
Tang Hao realized that if he let you continue to grow, he would never be able to avenge his son. So, in one stroke, he detonated all his Soul Rings, determined to kill you once and for all. But you unleashed your Self-Created Soul Skill, Pale Blade Instant. You had already mastered your own creation.
Empowered by the Asura Demon Sword, you ultimately killed Tang Hao, though you were left gravely wounded.
The battle deepened your understanding of your Self-Created Soul Skill, and your strength rose to an even higher level.
By the time you returned to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, only ruins remained. Fortunately, Ning Rongrong, Chen Xin, Ning Fengzhi, and Gu Rong were all safe, and they had managed to preserve some of the sect's strength.
To counter Spirit Hall's plot to rule the entire continent, Ning Fengzhi traveled far and wide, trying to unite the remaining forces of the Heaven Dou Empire with the Star Luo Empire against Spirit Hall. But you knew that only by completing the Asura Nine Trials and becoming the Asura God could you stop Spirit Hall's scheme.
You hastened your progress through the divine trials and attained the Asura God's divine position before the allied armies of the two empires could be defeated.
Meanwhile, Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue of Spirit Hall also attained divine positions, becoming the Rakshasa God and Angel God.
You faced Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue in a final showdown. As a God King of the Divine Realm, the Asura God was far stronger than a First-Level God. But you had only just become a god, and you were fighting two opponents at once, so you were at a disadvantage at first. As you grew more adept at controlling your divine power, however, the tide gradually turned in your favor.
In the end, you crushed Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue with overwhelming force, utterly thwarting Spirit Hall's scheme. But even after defeating them, you did not finish them off. Only Bibi Dong fell, sacrificing herself to take a fatal blow meant for Qian Renxue.
At last, peace returned to the Douluo Continent. The Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire had suffered devastating losses, but with you, the Asura God, standing guard, the postwar rebuilding went smoothly. You did not wipe out Spirit Hall, nor did you sever the Angel lineage.
Before long, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had been rebuilt and become the continent's greatest sect. Your statue was enshrined within its grounds for all time.
Finally, beneath the adoring gaze of the people across the continent, you ascended to the Divine Realm with Ning Rongrong.
[Simulation ended. Calculating results...]
[Simulation rewards generated. Please choose...]
[Host consciousness returning...]
Yu Tianjue's consciousness gradually returned, but his brow furrowed instinctively.
The simulation ended as soon as he became a god?
Did that mean... becoming a god was the simulation's limit?
Yu Tianjue had thought Life Simulation would keep going after his ascension to the Divine Realm. For example, he might become one of the Five Great God Kings, take charge of the Divine Realm, and eventually become a Supreme God King or something.
[Simulation Summary: You made full use of your talent, diligently cultivating all the way. You found love and family, and ultimately thwarted Spirit Hall's scheme, attaining the divine position of the Asura God and ensuring that future generations of the Douluo Continent would look up to you.]
[Final evaluation for the second simulation: SSS]
[Generating rewards...]
[Host, please choose four of the following six rewards. They will be granted immediately after your selection.]
[1. Sword Douluo Chen Xin's swordsmanship insights.]
[2. Martial Soul: Asura Demon Sword, and ten levels of god-given Soul Power.]
[3. Self-Created Soul Skill: Pale Blade Instant.]
[4. A substantial improvement to your physical attributes.]
[5. The hatred of the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, Xiao Wu.]
[6. Ning Rongrong's admiration.]
???
Never mind the rest—was the hatred of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast like Xiao Wu really supposed to count as a reward?
What a load of nonsense!
Still, this was good. At least one option had been eliminated for him. Now he only needed to pick which one of the remaining five to leave behind.
First, the Asura Demon Sword Martial Soul was a must-have.
Setting aside the Asura God Trial he could unlock with the Asura Demon Sword, there was no reason to pass up ten levels of god-given Soul Power. What's more, after obtaining the Asura Demon Sword Martial Soul, he might be able to use both Martial Souls at once.
His first Martial Soul, Xiao Hei, wasn't an ordinary possession-type Beast Martial Soul. Like Yu Xiaogang's Luo Sanpao, it was an external Martial Soul, so perhaps he could use both at the same time.
He would have to wait until he obtained the Asura Demon Sword Martial Soul to find out whether he could actually use both Martial Souls simultaneously.
Next was the Self-Created Soul Skill, Pale Blade Instant. Its power was plain from how it had performed in the Life Simulation. Though he hadn't used it many times in the simulation, an Eight-Ring Soul Douluo like him had been able to kill Tang Hao after Tang Hao detonated all nine of his Soul Rings. That alone spoke volumes.
This was another must-have reward.
That left only three rewards.
Sword Douluo Chen Xin's swordsmanship insights, a substantial improvement to his physical attributes, and Ning Rongrong's admiration.
Honestly, Yu Tianjue thought the substantial improvement to his physical attributes would be more useful.
Improved physical attributes meant a stronger body, allowing him to bear Soul Rings of greater age. But Sword Douluo Chen Xin's swordsmanship insights... He already possessed the swordsmanship insights he had gained on the path to becoming the Asura God in the Life Simulation. He had no need for this reward anymore.
As for Ning Rongrong's admiration...
Though he had already shared an entire lifetime with Ning Rongrong in the Life Simulation, having another lifetime with her didn't sound so bad.
In that case, he would simply pass on the first and fifth rewards.
[Ding—Reward selection complete. Successfully granted.]
