The Wild Province simulation began on the morning of the third day.
The entrance to the valley lay about fifty miles west of Primordial Beginning, at a valley mouth covered by an array formation. Dense array patterns covered the rock walls on either side. Their layout belonged to the same system as the formations on Heavenly Pivot City's stone pillars, but they were more complex, with more intersections, forming a constantly flowing layer of faint light across the walls. A translucent curtain of light stood in the center of the entrance, its color shifting from pale blue to deep blue as it flickered.
The seven teams assembled outside the entrance. A referee from the Primordial Beginning Gate stood before the light curtain and explained the simulation's rules and precautions one by one. The simulation would last three days. After entering, each team would advance deeper into the valley and complete three tasks: first, gather a mineral called "stone marrow" within a designated area; second, establish a temporary camp on a highland deep in the valley and defend it for a day; third, reach the exit on the other side of the valley safely before the simulation ended.
The elder added at the end of his explanation, "Simulated alien races and baleful spirits are scattered throughout the valley. The aliens are mainly Outer-World Races, while the baleful spirits are ownerless consciousnesses formed when fragments of the souls of those who died on ancient battlefields were contaminated by killing intent. They mainly appear in areas of killing intent, and their attacks primarily involve aura erosion and mental interference. They are weaker than their real counterparts on the Wild Province Battlefield, but they still pose a considerable threat. Injuries and deaths are possible, so be careful."
