The [Venerable Lord of Yin-Yang Authority]'s True Purpose, Verification, and Threat (4,000-word chapter)

[A point in time that should not exist. You should not have appeared here.]

[At that moment, you seemed to understand something. Could the [Venerable Lord of Yin-Yang Authority] know that your Golden Finger was the [Simulator]?!]

[And, more precisely, you were conducting a [future simulation], which was why you had appeared in the [Fifth Era]!]

[So... that was why he had said that!]

[Actually, you were not all that surprised. Too many beings already knew that your Golden Finger was the Simulator...]

[There was nothing to be done but feel helpless.]

[As for the "Life-and-Death Chess Game" that the [Venerable Lord of Yin-Yang Authority] had described as his main objective, you really did not want to play it with him.]

[But unfortunately, he had been right about one thing: if he wanted to, you would probably lose a layer of skin even if you did not die.]

[After all, the life-bound divine ability [Twin Blossoms] was truly uncanny. Once it copied another you, if that other you died, you would replace him as the "copy" of [Twin Blossoms], controlled by the [Venerable Lord of Yin-Yang Authority].]

[But if you did nothing, this "copy" would completely replace you as Chen Fan within five days at most, just like that Penglai Island Lord.]

[How should you put it... this was a little too overpowered!]

[Actually, you had always had one question: why did the [Venerable Lord of Yin-Yang Authority] not simply make your "copy" kill himself?]

[That would force you to become the "copy" and fall under his control. Would that not be better?]

[You suspected that he most likely could not. There must have been some restriction preventing this "copy" from being killed at will. To make you replace the "copy," perhaps... you, the original, had to kill him yourself?!]
