It seems that this beast tide will be difficult to resolve in the short term.

The impact on Nine Mysteries Prefecture extends beyond Thousand Souls City...

The situation in the simulation is not good.

[ Thousand Souls City is located far from Nine Mysteries City, and reinforcements cannot arrive in a short time, as the entire Nine Mysteries Prefecture has been severely impacted.]

[Upon receiving this news, you feel incredibly pessimistic. The beast horde is relentlessly assaulting the defenses. Standing on the city wall, you watch as towering flames dye the entire night sky crimson, the sounds of battle cries and roars mingling around you.]

[Your elder brother Hun Qianxue before you, with Han Xuanji beside him. No one's face shows fear, only anger.]

[But you also know that among the ferocious beasts attacking Thousand Souls City is a Sage- level beast, an existence you cannot contend with. These beasts are fearless and relentless; if the siege drags on, Thousand Souls City will surely fall.]

[ Hun Qianxue turned around and looked at you and Han Xuanji. His voice was surprisingly calm: " Xuanji, you take Qianling and leave first."]

[The situation is extremely critical. Two of the three legions have been almost completely wiped out. Hun Qianxue intends to cover your escape.]

[In a moment of crisis, Han Xuanji produced a top-tier warship, shocking both of you.]

" The Five Elements Divine Warship?"

Han Xuanji nodded; even in the simulation, he still possessed quite a few treasures.

However, his cultivation level was not high, so many treasures could not be used to their full potential.

Bringing out this Saint-level warship should improve the situation; at least it should offer a glimmer of hope.

[You discover that the warship Han Xuanji has taken out is actually a Saint-level warship. You never expected Han Xuanji to possess such a treasure. However, the situation is critical, so you don't question it further, but instead believe that everyone is saved.]

However, Hun Qianxue's words poured cold water on your hopes. "It's not enough. Someone has to step up and draw fire, otherwise even a Saint-level warship will be doomed if surrounded."

[That's certainly true. True God- level ferocious beasts are quite intelligent, and there are even Saint Realm ferocious beasts lurking among them. Without anyone drawing fire, a single saint-level warship couldn't possibly escape successfully.]

[ Hun Qianxue gave you a series of instructions, then took your hand. His hand was cold, but his strength was irresistible. You saw a fleeting struggle and pain in his eyes, but that pain was quickly suppressed, replaced by an almost cruel calmness.]

[ Hun Qianxue led a group of powerful warriors out of the west gate in the Soul Household's strongest warship, attracting the attention of numerous ferocious beasts.]

[Soon after, Han Xuanji piloted a Saint-rank warship from the north gate of the inner city, carrying more than a dozen direct descendants of the Soul Household, and fled north in panic under the cover of night.]

Although Hun Qianxue attracted a lot of attention, the Saint-level warship still attracted a considerable amount of attention.

[With overwhelming firepower, you fought your way out of the encirclement, but you also attracted the attention of a powerful ferocious beast. A deep, muffled heartbeat resounded.]

[That heartbeat emanated from the deepest part of the beast tide; a ferocious beast from the Saint Realm, which had been hidden for a long time, had emerged.]

It was enormous, obscuring half the sky. Its jet-black scales gleamed coldly in the firelight, and its six vertical pupils locked onto your fleeing fleet. It opened its mouth, and a dark, gray light gathered in its throat.

A terrifying attack struck the warship, but fortunately, it was a Saint-level warship and withstood the blow.

[But the crew was thrown about by the shockwave, and several weaker members of the clan fainted on the spot. You see Han Xuanji stabilize the ship, his face as pale as paper; clearly, controlling this Saint-level warship was no easy feat.]

[You saw Han Xuanji use many treasures to withstand wave after wave of attacks, but there were simply too many ferocious beasts. He killed wave after wave, and one Saint Realm- level ferocious beast launched attacks from time to time.]

[Knowing that things couldn't continue like this, you discussed it with Han Xuanji and activated the escape system on the warship.]

[There weren't many escape devices, but just enough for the dozen or so people on the warship.]

[The warship has activated its automatic combat mode. You are using the escape devices to evacuate the warship. Whether you survive depends entirely on your luck.]

[Escape devices deployed sequentially from the emergency hatches on the warship's flank; a dozen silver-white, shuttle-shaped hulls streaked across the night sky, leaving twelve faint streaks of light as they dispersed in different directions.]

[The hull's defensive capabilities and speed are extremely strong, enough to withstand attacks from True God. Looking back through the observation window, you see the Saint-tier warship's automatic combat mode activated. All of the ship's firing points are simultaneously opening fire without human intervention, tearing a burning path through the beast horde. A Saint-tier warship is being used to buy time for the twelve escape pods to evacuate.]

[Your escape pod jolted violently out of the densest part of the beast horde. The shouts and screams behind you gradually faded into the distance, replaced by a suffocating sound of wind. You looked out through the observation window; the night sky was half-reddened by firelight, and on the other side, Li Fire, lay bottomless darkness.]

You don't know where the others have gone; you can only pray silently in your heart.

[Then you saw the light.]

[You suddenly discover a silver-white escape pod being pursued and intercepted by three flying beasts. One of them, a black shadow with wingspans that blot out the sky, is clearly True God- level flying beast, and the person inside the escape pod is none other than Han Xuanji.]

[You immediately changed the route of your escape pod, forcibly drawing the attention of that True God- level ferocious beast.]

[You barely escaped, but the next second, with a howl from the shadowy figure, more powerful ferocious beasts converged, and finally, the claws of a True God- level beast pierced through the escape pod's defenses.]

You are dead.

[Simulation ended.]

[Comment: Not seeking earth-shattering achievements, but simply striving to be worthy of humanity.]

[Simulation Reward: Hun Qianling's Cultivation Insights Between Life and Death.]

"It's over."

Han Xuanji felt slightly heavy-hearted. Hun Qianling, sitting opposite her, was still rambling on and on, completely unaware that she had just died once in another possible future.

It would be a lie to say I wasn't disappointed; this feeling of helplessness is really unpleasant.

But Han Xuanji did not allow herself to wallow in these emotions for too long.

Ultimately, it's because I'm not strong enough.

He took a deep breath, exhaling the tightness in his chest inch by inch, and when he opened his eyes again, his gaze had returned to its usual calm and clarity.

The simulated future may seem unsolvable, but it is only relative to the simulated version of himself.

"The reward may be modest, but the information is still quite crucial."

Han Xuanji pondered silently.

At least he now has a clear understanding of the changes to come, and there are no events that threaten his life in the short term.

Knowing about the beast tide in advance means having many options even if you're not strong enough at the time.
