In the quiet room, the flames of the Ancient Emperor Lamp of the Passing Flame seemed to freeze for a moment, reflecting the complex and indescribable expression on Han Xuanji's face.
Jiang Hao's life was epic, marked by three rebirths of his immortal bones, culminating in his attainment of the title of God of War. Yet, in the end, he sacrificed everything for the sake of all living beings, perishing alongside his enemies, his Dao extinguished and his soul vanished...
"Is it that tragic? Is this the fate of those One Destined to Face the Tribulation?"
Han Xuanji seemed to be deep in thought.
He inexplicably felt that Jiang Hao was... inspiring? And also a little heartbreaking?
Heavenly Emperor, Heavenly Emperor, you are truly a despicable person!
So you've been targeting my apprentice all this time, haven't you?
First Lu Fan, then Jiang Hao, neither of them had a good ending.
Of course, Han Xuanji only dared to curse in her heart and didn't dare to say it out loud.
He can create even Daluo or Hunyuan experts with ease, so he absolutely cannot afford to offend them now.
"It's my fault, I'm too weak."
Han Xuanji wouldn't apply double standards; instead, she silently condemned her simulated self.
Even in the simulation, he's still not up to par.
I don't know what level he finally reached, but I feel he should have entered the Hunyuan Realm. However, in a battle of this level, even Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal doesn't seem to be able to affect the battle. His personality in the simulation hasn't changed either, so it's impossible for him to sacrifice himself for Jiang Hao.
Even if he could have dealt with the simulated remains of the Chaos Devil God, would he have intervened?
Han Xuanji felt he probably wouldn't, because if he made a move, he would expose himself to the Heavenly Emperor, the Devil Ancestor, and many other powerful beings, making his life or death uncertain.
He doesn't gamble, and he doesn't want to die.
My thoughts returned to reality.
This future suggests that whether one is destined for great fortune or One Destined to Face the Tribulation, their ultimate fate will likely not be good.
Jiang Hao, the First War God of the Heavenly Court... that title sounds impressive, but he's just a high-level wage earner.
If they can survive to the end, they should be able to find the One Destined to Face the Tribulation and escape. For example, this True Martial Emperor was most likely a person of great fortune who achieved the Hunyuan Realm, survived the great calamity, found a successor, and then escaped.
Was Jiang Hao lucky or unlucky?
Han Xuanji shook his head, unable to reach a conclusion.
In this simulated future, Jiang Hao should not regret his actions; even if he dies, it will be voluntary.
Without the Heavenly Emperor's help, Jiang Hao wouldn't even be able to reach the Hunyuan Realm, let alone the Daluo. He wouldn't know how many years it would take.
Often, those who enter into tribulations are not coerced, but rather pursue power. Some people pursue power not entirely for themselves, but to protect others or to seek revenge.
Therefore, many people with great fortune generally have a tragic past, or were once happy but had their happiness destroyed.
Villains often scheme to drag others down with them and seek revenge, while protagonists typically prevent such tragedies from happening again.
Han Xuanji had no desire to be the protagonist.
Jiang Hao's ending chilled him to the bone. Seeing Lu Fan being manipulated like a pawn and then sadly exiting the stage... it was too dangerous outside; home was the safest place.
In this war, even powerful individuals at the Hunyuan level are merely pawns that can be traded away.
He's just a minor Daluo Golden Immortal; he'd better play it safe.
"But then again..."
Han Xuanji looked at the system rewards, his eyes becoming serious.
[ The Indestructible War God Physique: A supreme battle physique born between life and death, with an Immortal will and an Imperishable body. Centered on battle intent, it grows stronger with each battle, capable of rebirth in dire straits. Every act of destruction and rebirth brings transformation and sublimation. Its combat instincts are extraordinary, allowing it to grow infinitely through battle and conquest, representing the ultimate expression of combat prowess.]
The [ Indestructible War God Physique ], as a physique possessed by a powerful expert at the Hunyuan Realm, may not be as fast as his [ Chaos Dao Embryo ] and [ Chaos True Spirit Physique ] in terms of cultivation speed, but in terms of combat, it is definitely the best among countless physiques.
He gets stronger the more he fights, it's like he's a Super Saiyan, a physique straight out of being a protagonist...
"It can indeed make up for some of my own shortcomings."
Han Xuanji nodded secretly.
Ignoring the other rewards, he directly claimed the [ Indestructible War God Physique ].
" Chaos encompasses everything, and naturally it can contain this Imperishable fighting spirit."
Han Xuanji made up her mind.
In the the Unseen, a mass of gray Chaos, containing the image of the birth and death of all things, was the manifestation of his own Chaos Dao foundation.
The other one was a dark gold color, condensed like Immortal gold, exuding an indomitable fighting spirit, which was the origin of the [ Indestructible War God Physique ] rewarded by the system.
Now, Han Xuanji is finally beginning to understand the system's methods.
"This is a power that transcends the Great Dao. Can someone at the Hunyuan Realm achieve this?"
Han Xuanji pondered to himself, feeling that even an existence of the Heavenly Emperor's level would probably not be able to achieve this.
Then the hazy, Chaos energy slowly rotated, as if transforming into a furnace of heaven and earth, emanating an aura that devoured and encompassed all things.
"Boom--!"
The dark golden origin is like the most unruly ancient beast, charging left and right, trying to maintain its independence and purity.
If Han Xuanji were to do it himself, it might take time to slowly refine it. However, with the system's intervention, the violent source instantly went silent, as if it had recognized Han Xuanji's aura.
It began to come into contact with Han Xuanji's Chaos Origin.
The dark golden light no longer repelled the grayness; instead, it seemed to have tinted the Chaos with a golden glow.
Han Xuanji's body is also undergoing a transformation.
Beneath her skin, a faint, dark golden light flickered, only to vanish instantly, returning to normalcy.
After an unknown amount of time, the strange phenomena in the quiet room gradually subsided.
The original essence of the War God Physique has disappeared, completely merging into Han Xuanji's body.
He slowly opened his eyes, his gaze more profound than ever before, with an indescribable determination deep within his pupils.
Han Xuanji clenched his fist slightly, without using any Law Power, but relying solely on his physical strength, the surrounding space emitted a faint hum that seemed unable to bear the weight.
An extremely powerful force emanated from every inch of his flesh and blood, and every strand of his soul.
This was smoother than any previous merging of terms, and the improvement was significant.
Han Xuanji felt that with this force alone, he could kill a Daluo Golden Immortal with a single punch.
This feeling was not a false one due to a short-term surge in power, but a genuine power that surpassed that of Daluo Golden Immortal.
That's right, the reward from this Simulation System was to directly extract Jiang Hao's peak power essence and give it to Han Xuanji.
It can be said that Han Xuanji has now entered the Hunyuan realm in a unique way.
However, his Hunyuan combat power should be among the weakest tier.
Facing a true Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal, even the weakest Hunyuan One Qi Daluo Golden Immortal, it would be impossible to win without relying on other Law Treasure.
"I never expected it to suit me so well..."
Han Xuanji pondered silently.
He felt that perhaps this source contained a trace of Jiang Hao's will?
