"I'm not dead. Surprised?" Daji leaned against your shoulder, her seductive face turned toward yours as she whispered softly into your ear.

At the same time, she viciously pulled the hand buried in your chest back out.

You suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood and turned your head back with difficulty.

Then you fell backward, your entire body beginning to ache. The worst pain came from the chest wound Daji had inflicted.

Daji's alluring face wore a faint smile as she looked at you, eight tails swaying behind her.

Eight?

You quickly understood.

The tails behind Daji were equivalent to her lives. Daji had nine tails, which meant she had nine lives.

Yet after risking your life, you had only managed to remove one of Daji's tails.

And Daji still had eight tails left!

Ah, after fighting Daji for so long, you had only knocked off one of her tails.

What use was that?

Was it worth it?

Why had you done this?

What exactly was it for?

Why had you joined this battle?

You could have done nothing and simply waited for the battle to end.

But what had happened instead?

Why had you joined the battle?

What for?

Wealth?

You brought none with you at birth and took none with you in death.

Glory?

Nothing but an empty reputation.

The world?

In the end, it would all come to nothing.

Beauty?

There would always come a day when she grew old.

Ah, what exactly was it all for?

So many doubts suddenly surfaced in your mind.

You began to doubt yourself. You began to question whether any of this had been worth it.

You began to deny everything you had done before.

But then, a roar suddenly rang through your mind.

Your vision blurred, and the teachings of the Three Sages of Humanity appeared before your eyes. Through the haze, you saw Xuanyuan walking toward you, smiling faintly as he extended a hand.

Before your eyes appeared those days you had spent with the Three Sages of Humanity.

The Three Sages' patient guidance.

"Xi, what's wrong?"

"Are you feeling unwell?"

"If you're not feeling well, don't push yourself."

The concern of the Three Sages of Humanity echoed by your ears.

"Xi, you are human. You must regard protecting humanity as your duty, and you must not commit needless slaughter."

"Xi, remember this: you are human!"

"Hey! Xuanyuan."

Your vision blurred again, and Jiang Shang looked at you with concern.

"What's wrong? The army is about to march. This is the final battle. Once it is over, this land will welcome peace, and people will no longer have to live without enough food to eat or clothes to wear."

That's right!

Exactly!

You were fighting for humanity!

You were human!

You were someone taught by the Three Sages of Humanity!

I couldn't let down the expectations the Three Sages of Humanity had placed in me. Behind me lay the entire realm of humanity!

Obtained Innate Skills: "Blessing of All Living Beings" and "End of All Laws."

You suddenly grabbed Daji, who had been preparing to leave.

You struggled to your feet.

Seeing this, Daji tried to break free.

But at that moment, Daji discovered that your strength was immense, and she could not break free at all.

"Chilling Daoist Magic, leaving no room for evil thoughts!"

You slowly recited the words that had suddenly surfaced in your mind, words you had never considered before.

"The supreme goodness of truth embraces all things!"

As you spoke those words, Daji felt a wave of panic, as though something terrible would happen if she did not get away from you. She hurriedly tried to pull free from your grasp.

"You bastard!"

Daji struggled relentlessly.

"In a single thought! Evil desires shall be extinguished!"

Seeing that she could not break free from your restraint, Daji decisively severed one of her own tails. She transformed into a small silver-white fox and swiftly fled from you.

She moved with incredible speed.

A trace of regret appeared on your face.

"The time of judgment has come. Let all evil be judged, and let evil thoughts be extinguished!"

"Unfold! End of All Laws!"

"Though I can't kill you outright, you won't live much longer either." You watched Daji rapidly flee, your tone carrying a hint of regret.

A ray of light descended from the sky upon you and Daji.

Daji's body quickly became listless and weak.

And your body, too, turned into specks of starlight.

You picked up the Fuxi Spear and put it away.

"What a pity, what a pity!" With a sigh, your form dissolved into starlight and vanished from this world.

At the same time, the battle at Muye ended with Xi Qi's victory.

A soft laugh drifted out from Huoyun Palace.

Jiang Shang also seemed to sense something and looked toward where you had been.

"It seems you've made it through this trial. You drove Daji away for me, so I'll have to thank you properly in the future."

"Perfect. Now that this battle is over, I'll have a trump card to deal with Daji. When the time comes, I'll show you what I'm capable of."

"Xuanyuan, we'll meet again in the future."

After receiving the news in Chaoge, Di Xin immolated himself atop Lutai.

Thus, the Yin Dynasty fell!

Afterward, Ji Fa proclaimed himself king and changed the dynasty's name to Zhou!

This Heroic Spirit Life Simulation has ended!

This simulation has been successfully engraved upon the Throne of Heroes!

You obtained the Innate Skills "Blessing of All Living Beings" and "Thought Key Pattern."

You obtained Taigong's Holy Relic.

Simulation complete. The simulation has entered cooldown. Next simulation: three days later!

Hiss, what the hell was this End of All Laws?

Why did it seem a little off?

Could it be like some Great Hero's ability?

Please don't. I don't want Chen Gong treating me like some precious treasure.

Yu Feng's teeth ached.

And what the hell was Blessing of All Living Beings?

This system, too—it didn't even give me a status panel, so I couldn't check anything myself.

These simulations were giving me a headache.

Damn it.

Yu Feng glanced at the time. Mm, eight in the evening.

Then Yu Feng seemed to sense that something was off and looked out the window again.

What eight in the evening? It was already eight in the morning!

When did time start passing so quickly?

Yu Feng did not feel like the simulation had lasted long at all, yet it was already eight in the morning.

Yu Feng hurried outside and washed up.

This Holy Grail War was somewhat unusual.

There were two Saber Classes: Little Mo and Lily.

Three Archer Classes: the possessed Yu Feng, Emiya, and an incarnated Shining Shining.

There was only one Lancer Class: Sasaki Kojirou.

The Rider Class should have only been Medusa, though that could not be confirmed yet.

Caster was Caster, but it was unclear whether there were any other Servants.

The Assassin Class had originally been the gatekeeper old man Caster summoned through a loophole. Using the gatekeeper's corpse, Zouken Matou had summoned Cursed Arm.

There was only one Berserker Class: Uncle B.

Just on Yu Feng's side alone—look at that—there was Little Mo. It was still uncertain which side Shirou Emiya stood on, but there were Emiya, Medusa, and Uncle B as well. In this Holy Grail War, aside from Chuunibyou Gil, as long as Sakura did not become All the World's Evil, claiming the Holy Grail should not be much of a problem.

But Mage, Shining Shining, and Zouken Matou lurking in the shadows—who knew what they were plotting?

"Mm~" Yu Feng walked out, stretched, and glanced toward the dining table.

Little Mo was eating breakfast there, the corner of her eye occasionally flicking his way.

Rin Tohsaka, meanwhile, was openly staring at him with a blank expression.

Yu Feng looked at Rin Tohsaka in confusion, unable to understand why she kept staring at him.

Then Rin Tohsaka viciously took a bite of her breakfast and stormed toward him.

"You're coming with me again today!" Rin Tohsaka's azure eyes fixed fiercely on Yu Feng.

Only then did Yu Feng realize that Rin Tohsaka was still hung up over what had happened yesterday.

Not far away, Emiya shrugged, leaning against the doorway with his arms crossed as though it had nothing to do with him.

Yu Feng answered helplessly.
