Choosing [Purple Talent: Existence Within Nonexistence] was purely because it was one of the key components of a rainbow talent,
and its ability was rather interesting, too. It could serve as one of his final trump cards when he had to fight for his life.
As for [Purple Talent: Heaven-Stealing], he now had Investment to serve in its place, so he would retain it for now without selecting it.
"Simulator, select [Golden Talent: Investment], [Purple Talent: Judgment], and [Purple Talent: Existence Within Nonexistence]."
He also used the [Temporary Talent Retention] function to retain every talent except [Purple Talent: More Children, More Blessings] and [Purple Talent: Grandpa in the Ring].
Chen Fan silently confirmed his choices.
In the end, he chose to abandon [Purple Talent: Grandpa in the Ring].
There was no helping it. This talent was far too unstable; there was no telling what sort of being it might summon.
Although the [Simulator] had not explicitly listed any side effects, that was as good as one.
[Ding! Talent selection and retention successful!] [Loading talents: [Investment] (gold), [Judgment] (purple), [Existence Within Nonexistence] (purple)] [All prerequisites have been met.] [Second Future Simulation officially launched!] [Simulation begins!]
Just like the [First Future Simulation], it did not immediately display the simulation text. Instead, a jumble of garbled characters flashed past first.
Then the light screen shuddered violently, revealing several lines of cold text:
``` [Interference from [Rainbow Talent: Fifth Black Hand] detected. Deployment spacetime coordinates forcibly altered!]
[Deploying...]
[Deployment successful! Commencing [future simulation]!]
[Age 20: Under an inexplicable, mighty force, a violent wave of dizziness swept over you.]
[You abruptly awoke to find yourself inside a crude wooden house in a village.]
[Your cultivation had vanished completely. You were now only stronger than an ordinary person, with no rank to speak of.]
