What Kind of Type-Moon Is This!

You began to express your worries about Consort Yu's future life, mentioning that having Xu Fu by her side would put your mind at ease. At the very least, Xu Fu was quick-witted, and you had already planned his path to immortality, making it possible for him to stay with Consort Yu for two thousand years. You also informed Consort Yu that you would meet again in the future, specifying the time and place.

Consort Yu didn't show much reaction to your words, merely nodding. Then, following your instructions, she sold her assets and left with Xu Fu, departing from human society.

However, you did not die.

The Azure Emperor played a little trick on you, creating a false impression that you were about to die. You then went to Mount Tai and placed the Innate Eight Trigrams before the Azure Emperor's desk.

"My, my," the Azure Emperor Taihao said cheerfully, looking at the junior before him. "I'm not good at fighting, but I don't like to be at a disadvantage, so I played a small trick on you. Surprised? Unexpected?"

"I've come to realize that all of you—the Four Emperors and Five Elders—enjoy a good laugh."

The Azure Emperor Taihao waved his hand. "Ah, ah~ It happens when you live long enough. Everyone spends their days cultivating, seeking transcendence, and debating philosophy with stern faces. It's not as flavorful as when you were human. Seeing someone who likes to stir up trouble is bound to be a delight. I won't say anything else, but do you want to learn my Qimen Dunjia?"

Bai Ming desperately wanted to retort with a defiant "Hell no," but in the end, he honestly replied, "I'll learn."

Chapter 101: Simulation Ends (2/11, 9 more remaining)

You learned the Innate Eight Trigrams and then departed from the Azure Emperor's location.

You had no intention of seeking out Consort Yu or Liu Bang. You planned to use this time to hone your other abilities. Thus, you began your journey on foot from the Han Dynasty towards Israel.

Consort Yu traveled with Xu Fu for over ten years before she drove Xu Fu to Kunlun Mountain, returning to a life of solitude. Although Consort Yu found it difficult to adjust, she endured it, all for the sake of reuniting with you at the time you had previously mentioned.

However, fate had other plans. In 202 BCE, before you had even completed half of your journey, you were captured by a wandering Consort Yu.

Consort Yu sat on a rock, quietly observing Bai Ming, whom she had intercepted. Her gaze darted around as if lost in thought, while Bai Ming, as usual, gently touched Consort Yu, occasionally reaching out to smooth the strands of her hair that the wind had blown astray.

The atmosphere was very silent.

Consort Yu was far from being as accustomed to speaking as Akuta Hinako would be in the future—even in the future, Akuta Hinako was a person of few words. Thus, Bai Ming and Consort Yu found themselves in an awkward silence.

Breathing, making eye contact, occasional physical interaction.

Anyone unaware would have mistakenly thought two deaf and mute individuals were attempting communication.

Finally, Consort Yu couldn't stand it any longer. "Don't you have anything you want to say?"

"Hmm..." Bai Ming's gaze shifted from side to side before he casually plucked a wildflower from the roadside and tucked it into Consort Yu's hair. "I'll say it when the time comes."

Silence fell between them again. Consort Yu stared intently at Bai Ming.

"I love you, Consort Yu."

This was the second time Bai Ming had uttered these words.

"Who asked you that?!" Consort Yu immediately reacted like a startled cat, but quickly calmed down. "Is there anything else besides that?"

"I didn't lie to you. Even now, our timelines haven't synchronized."

Consort Yu really wanted to retort that she didn't care if you lied, and that she only asked if there was anything else because she wanted to hear more embarrassing words. But seeing that Bai Ming was clearly not on the same wavelength, she abandoned that thought and instead asked, "What exactly do you mean by your time synchronization?"

Even though Consort Yu had, in a sense, fulfilled the concept of a Taoist immortal, she did not possess the ability to see the past or the future. In fact, most immortals did not have this ability; those Bai Ming had encountered were all beings of immense power.

Therefore, Consort Yu had no idea that you were from the future, a being disrupting her present.

You explained to Consort Yu that your past self had met her future self, but your current self was meeting her past self, and thus you had to die this time for your timelines to synchronize. Consort Yu indicated she didn't understand.

"I don't understand, but I don't mind waiting for over two thousand years."

Consort Yu thought to herself: She had grown accustomed to living as a hermit anyway. No matter how much human society developed, she could always find a place to live in seclusion.

"It's not worth it."

"Whether it's worth it or not is for me to decide."

Consort Yu maintained her cold expression, and Bai Ming let out a sigh of relief.

The long period of wandering as a hermit had left Consort Yu weary. Without her own kind or any group to belong to, completely alone, she had come to despise and fear humanity, fleeing from the ever-expanding human society into seclusion.

For her, even if it meant her own destruction, she was willing to accept any place that offered temporary peace. It wasn't until your appearance that things began to change. Human society, the concept of "home," and even the courage to face the future were all things she had drawn from you over these past ten years.

You felt a sense of guilt—at least, you felt it when facing Consort Yu. But this guilt quickly vanished.

After all, it's Akuta Hinako... Even if you figure out what's going on now, back there, you and Akuta Hinako are brothers by day and lovers by night. Any guilt can be discussed in bed later.

Mentioning waiting for two thousand years inevitably made you think of the woman who had stolen your virginity: Morgan.

Although you had never uttered mushy words like "I love you" to Morgan, you felt a pang of guilt for making her wait for over fifteen hundred years.

You activated Clairvoyance and began to look around randomly. Morgan was engrossed in studying magic within the Inner Sea of Stars. As if sensing your gaze, she used her magic to write a warning about the Sixth Singularity: "Beware of Mordred forcefully taking you."

You saw the Wise King Gilgamesh saying you were slacking off too much and urging you to come to Uruk to help him. You replied, "The capable should bear more burdens," and then closed Clairvoyance.

"Since you've made such a resolution, it would be too much for me to be sentimental now."

Bai Ming sat down beside her. "Come, Yu, sit on my lap. I want to see your eyes turn red."

Normally, Consort Yu's eyes and hair were very similar in color, both a dark brown. However, when she absorbed life force, her eyes would turn red.

Consort Yu sat on Bai Ming's lap with a subtle expression, her lips slightly parted as she bit into Bai Ming's neck.

The sound of sucking filled the air. After a moment, Consort Yu stopped, her lips stained crimson by the ruby-red blood. Her eyes, gleaming with a red light, looked at Bai Ming. "Are you satisfied?"

"Satisfied."

You committed suicide in front of Consort Yu. Your body was cremated by Consort Yu, and then she left.

Consort Yu became engrossed in the creations of immortal realm techniques, turning into a tech enthusiast. She gave Kuaiji Zero a major upgrade, adding an additional power source to your simulated solar power system.

"Kuaiji Zero self-activated during the modern history period, bombarding various countries throughout modern history with its superior performance until it ceased operation after the world was unified once more. Consort Yu, looking disgusted, dragged it away from the scene."

"Simulation ended."

"Your results have been rewritten and replaced in the Pan-Human History."

"The panel and related information have been generated, no further details will be provided here."

Bai Ming opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling, lost in thought. Setting other things aside, he wondered if Consort Yu had prepared a two-thousand-year-old snake gall wine for him.

The man got up, glanced at the time beside him, then lay back down on the bed and closed his eyes.

◇ A New Day

Chaldea was still a day where they weren't rushing to repair Singularities. Bai Ming checked the date; his simulation this time had taken three days, and within those three days, Akuta Hinako had already resolved the Fourth Singularity on her own.

Roman continued to teach Fujimaru Ritsuka Jacob's Limbs, while Mash continued her combat training against simulated Servants in the training room. Olga Marie brewed a pot of black tea and sat in Bai Ming's room, flipping through books.

Bai Ming, however, proactively sought out Akuta Hinako. Of course, Bai Ming wasn't the type to wake up early in the morning to talk about lovey-dovey things. He grabbed Akuta Hinako and dragged her to the training room. "Let's train."

Akuta Hinako glared at Bai Ming, then sighed and reluctantly allowed herself to be dragged to the training room.

Third Simulation End Character Card, Caster

[Name]: Bai Ming

[Class]: Caster

[Attribute]: Chaotic · Neutral

[Strength]: A

[Endurance]: A++→A+ (Rank reduced due to Consort Yu's blood absorption, but actual data remains unchanged)

[Agility]: A++

[Magic]: EX

[Luck]: C→D+ (Rank reduced due to being toyed with by the Azure Emperor)

[Class Skills]

Item Construction: A+

The ability to create magical items—on the surface, it appears to be B-A level, but Kuaiji Zero, which bombarded all of modern history, was his creation, so this ability has instead broken through normal limits to reach the A+ level. However, this is only when creating normal items.

When he starts making unconventional, humorous items, the level instead reaches an EX level unattainable by humans.

High-Speed Incantation: C

The ability to speed up magic incantations. Despite being high-speed, he often uses ambiguous words during incantations because he finds chanting troublesome.

Clairvoyance: EX

Clairvoyance is the ability to see through things, to see the three realms, to not be confused by the five colors, without yin or yang, without small or large, to see everything.

Simply put, it's Clairvoyance. There is nothing that cannot be seen, and nothing that can deceive it—meaning it is stronger than King Solomon's Clairvoyance, which was a gift from God and could not see the internal situation of Chaldea. However, holders of Clairvoyance EX, except for Merlin, do not seem to like using it.

Divinity: C

Having honestly admitted his identity as an immortal and displayed his power, he was inevitably granted Divinity upon registration—but due to his frequent engagement in abstract matters, his Divinity has instead dropped by a major rank in the Chinese region.

[Held Skills]

Life and Death Control: EX

A skill akin to the protection of the underworld. It was acquired through struggles against various deities of Mount Tai, the 108 Stars, and even more heavenly soldiers, generals, and gods from China. After Emperor Qin Shi and Emperor Gao of Han spread the word from the Qin and Han dynasties onwards, it was later bestowed with the title of Underworld God by subsequent emperors.

Greatly increases attack power, grants enemies a high chance of instant death, grants immunity to self-inflicted instant death, grants self-special attack against undead, divinity, and demonic nature, grants self-perseverance effect, and grants self-maximum HP increase effect.

Hero Creation: A

Emperor Shi had twenty-three sons, all of whom were placed under his tutelage except for Hu Hai. He had twenty-one Three-Seven Youths and one disciple, Fusu. The Three-Seven Youths resided in his Kunlun cave dwelling, serving in the underworld as twenty-one generals.

His disciple Fusu, with the Daoist name Qiaosongzi, was skilled in numerology, warfare, scriptures, and artifact refining, integrating the philosophies of Confucianism, Daoism, Legalism, Militarism, and Mohism. He frequently appeared in the human world, offering guidance like a sage, which led to his master Bai Ming becoming widely known.

Sha Po Lang: B

Seven Killings: A star of solitary power and punishment, also a solitary star of success and failure, specializing in authority and life and death, capricious and unpredictable, acting with measured progress and retreat.

Greedy Wolf: The master of fortune and misfortune, the star of romance, fond of debauchery, with extreme love and hate, good and evil are uncertain, capricious.

Broken Army: Hates relatives and estranges flesh and blood, prefers action to stillness, with an unrestrained personality, and a passion for excitement.

The convergence of the three directions and four quadrants should have been an EX level that was difficult to assess, but because he abandoned the capricious and estranged-from-relatives traits, its level dropped from EX to B.

Greatly increases attack power.

[Held Noble Phantasms]

Innate Eight Trigrams · Bai Ming Style

Rank: A

The Innate Eight Trigrams learned from the Azure Emperor Taihao Fuxi. Legend has it that it is a formation derived from the River Diagram. It is significantly different from King Wen's Later Heaven Eight Trigrams and Wei Yuanhao's Middle Heaven Eight Trigrams. After Bai Ming's self-serving improvements, it became the Innate Eight Trigrams · Bai Ming Style. However, at its core, the Innate Eight Trigrams · Bai Ming Style shares similarities with the Feng Hou Qi Men created by Feng Hou based on the Innate Eight Trigrams.

Two Forms · Bai Ming Style (Not Yet Reached)

Rank: B

Two Forms: The number two, the balance of two; Form: "Spirit," the myriad manifestations of "Spirit," meaning the art of acupoint striking. Bai Ming derived the Later Heaven Eight Trigrams from the Innate Eight Trigrams, but he could only revert from the Later Heaven to the Innate. Thus, by chance, he skipped the Four Symbols stage of the Innate Eight Trigrams and directly pushed back to the Two Forms stage.

The Book of Changes states: "The Taiji gave rise to the Two Forms, the Two Forms gave rise to the Four Symbols, the Four Symbols gave rise to the Eight Trigrams, the Eight Trigrams determined good and bad fortune, and good and bad fortune gave rise to great undertakings."

Chapter 102: Your Mother's Beast, Bai Ming

The training process was very quiet, with Akuta Hinako and Bai Ming not saying a word. Akuta Hinako realized something but pretended not to know anything.

Hehe, now it's my revenge time, Akuta Hinako.

But then Akuta Hinako suddenly realized something. Bai Ming was rather passive when it came to matters of the heart. This meant that if she didn't bring up the topic, Bai Ming likely wouldn't mention it at all.

"Um—"

Akuta Hinako had just started to speak but lost her nerve at the last moment. Bai Ming asked, "What is it?"

"N-nothing."

Argh! Damn it, how should I bring this up to confirm it?

Akuta Hinako roared inwardly. Would it seem too forward if she asked directly? But if she didn't ask, how would she confirm it?

Bai Ming spoke, "You definitely have something on your mind, go ahead and ask."
