My Longevity Simulation

Fragility and strength, two completely opposite words, seemed to have achieved unity in Qiao Sidao.

Even though his divine soul, before being saved by Li Fan, had already been on the verge of collapse and could have perished at any moment, the vast sea of complicated memories he possessed still caused even Li Fan's expression to change slightly.

"If the strength of my divine soul were merely at this level, it would be completely incapable of supporting so many memories..."

Setting aside the special nature of Qiao Sidao's divine soul, Li Fan first roughly surveyed the countless scenes contained within his memories.

Li Fan was uninterested in most of the worlds deduced by the [Era] device. Even the various cultivation techniques and divine abilities that Qiao Sidao had personally encountered and experienced within them were of little use to Li Fan now.

What was more useful were the ancient secrets concerning the ancient era and the Immortal Realm that Qiao Sidao had occasionally learned by entering the Ten Great Immortal Sects under different identities.

"It is just unknown how reliable this information actually is. Are these merely settings that existed within the deduced worlds, or are they derived from fragments of clues passed down from the destruction of the myriad worlds..."

Looking through all the worlds Qiao Sidao had experienced across hundreds of billions of reincarnations, only two were worth Li Fan taking a closer look at.

One was the [Eternal Immortal Realm], and the other was [Chaotic Spacetime].

The Immortal Spirit Tower was scattered throughout every corner of the world, continuously releasing pure spiritual energy day and night. Cultivation techniques, formations, alchemy, medicine, and any other knowledge one wished to learn could all be searched for and studied within the Immortal Spirit Tower, without any restrictions.

It was precisely within the Immortal Spirit Tower that Qiao Sidao accumulated sufficient knowledge and experience, allowing him to escape from the [Era] device in one fell swoop.

After all, it was merely a theoretical system within a deduction, and could not be completely applied to reality.

With Li Fan's current perspective, he could naturally see at a glance the inconsistencies in the various things Qiao Sidao had learned.

"It only resembles the real thing. Perhaps it can work within the deduced virtual world, but..."

Li Fan used an extremely powerful formation from Qiao Sidao's memories as a test.

The formation was called [Heaven Overturning and Earth Inverting]. Despite its ordinary sounding name, once the formation was completed, it could truly reverse the sky and earth of an entire world. Any living being incapable of flight would uncontrollably fall from the earth toward the sky. They would either starve to death during the fall, or crash violently into the boundary of the world and be reduced to pieces.

If it truly worked as described, then this formation was indeed rather interesting. But when Li Fan brought it into the Final Dissociation Disc for examination...

He obtained the result that this formation could not be formed at all.

"Perhaps in some possibility that is completely identical to the deduced world, this formation can operate normally. But in the present world, where the Great Dao is incomplete and different laws clash with one another, the operating environment simply does not meet its requirements."

Although it could not be used directly, Li Fan was not disappointed.

"It points toward a certain possibility, but it does not conform to reality. Yet with appropriate modifications, it can be made operational."

"Qiao Sidao merely lived within the virtual [Era] device. His understanding of reality comes only from what he experienced within the Era, so he may not possess this ability. But I am different."

Within Li Fan's sea of consciousness, the Immortal Formation Final Dissociation Disc flickered with light.

Formation data resembling luminous rivers was extracted from Qiao Sidao's memories and drawn into the Final Dissociation Disc.

Qiao Sidao's divine soul felt as though it were being subjected to the torture of being cut by a thousand blades, and he could not help but let out a muffled groan. If Li Fan had not helped stabilize his divine soul, this alone might have caused his soul to scatter and perish.

But Qiao Sidao was indeed worthy of being someone who had struggled his way out of endless reincarnations. After that, he remained silent throughout. He even seemed to gradually become accustomed to the suffering, and his expression slowly returned to normal.

It did not take too much time.

Through the transformation of the Final Dissociation Disc, the countless formations within Qiao Sidao's memories were all transformed from false formations into genuine formations that conformed to the environment of reality.

Li Fan immediately transmitted the conclusions deduced by the Final Dissociation Disc back to Qiao Sidao.

Qiao Sidao keenly sensed that the formations transmitted by Li Fan differed from what he had learned and understood. At first, his expression froze slightly, but then he became uncontrollably excited.

Qiao Sidao could still recall just how powerful he had become after experiencing countless reincarnations within the Era. He had been able to uncover the greatest mysteries between heaven and earth and break out of the deadlock.

Yet after arriving in the real world, the extreme contrast was difficult for him to accept for a time.

His divine soul was so fragile that it seemed as though even the slightest breeze could extinguish it. Qiao Sidao knew that this was the difference between the [Era] and reality.

But now...

Through the changes between the two formations transmitted by this mysterious and unfathomable senior before him, Qiao Sidao vaguely seemed to see exactly where this difference lay.

"Once one method is understood, all methods become accessible. As long as you give me some time, I should be able to completely transform everything I have learned."

Qiao Sidao greedily absorbed the knowledge transmitted by Li Fan, forgetting to thank him for a moment.

Li Fan did not mind. He could also see that Qiao Sidao was currently comprehending the Dao.

This divine soul had indeed not disappointed him.

It was truly useful.

Li Fan then turned to ask Emperor Sanmo, beginning the unfinished conversation between the two from his previous life.

"Exactly what level of strength is required to cross the boundary of feasibility?"

"And what exactly is the energy contained within Sacred Beast Mountain?"

As he spoke, Li Fan once again used the transformation between truth and falsehood to conjure a small ball of ancient bronze-colored energy. He tossed it toward Emperor Sanmo.

Li Fan's two questions had already caused this Longevity Immortal Beast to become somewhat tense after experiencing immense shock.

When he greedily absorbed the incomparably pure energy into his body and felt a sensation of revival spreading through every corner of his body, Emperor Sanmo became certain that this senior before him had definitely reached the legendary step.

Perhaps because this body was already too old and decayed, the extremely pure [Ancient Cang Primal Essence] he swallowed was actually slowly dissipating without stopping. In the end, only a small amount remained.

But even this small amount was of immense significance to him. At the very least, it could extend his lifespan by another ten thousand years.

More importantly, he had personally witnessed this senior before him continuously producing [Ancient Cang Primal Essence] as though performing a magic trick.

This divine substance, which was originally depleted with every use, if it could truly be obtained without limit and consumed without end...

In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Emperor Sanmo's mind.

But ultimately, they all transformed into one most resolute thought.

No matter what, he had to remain by this senior's side.

For the sake of survival, whether for himself or for his entire race, Emperor Sanmo had repeatedly chosen to stand beside different figures.

At first, it was Emperor Yi. Later, it was the Beast Taming Sect. Later still, it was the Dharma-Transmitting Immortal Ancestor.

The hope he had seen from all of them combined was still nowhere near as great as the hope he now saw in the person before him.

He was not someone who hesitated.

Once he made a decision, he immediately put it into action.

At this moment, when Li Fan asked, Emperor Sanmo knew that there was no point in concealing anything, so he told him everything he knew.

“Senior, according to the ancient memories passed down through our race, at the very beginning of the Primeval Era, even a [Primeval Dao Form] that had merged its body with the Dao could not easily leap across possibilities.”

“If we were to make an analogy, a Primeval Dao Form could be regarded as equivalent to the realm of a [Nameless True Immortal] among human cultivators. However, compared to human cultivators who comprehend the Dao, the great Primeval Dao Forms were themselves derivatives and incarnations of the Great Dao. Whether in terms of strength or comprehension of the Dao, they were innately superior by a level. Apart from certain supreme experts, most Nameless True Immortals were inferior to Primeval Dao Forms.”

Although Emperor Sanmo had already decided to completely submit to Li Fan, he did not embellish the truth because of this. He merely recounted everything exactly as it existed in the inherited memories.

Li Fan listened without expressing any opinion and gestured for Emperor Sanmo to continue.

“The existence of Primeval Dao Forms was both an advantage and a disadvantage. Among the Great Daos of Heaven and Earth, certain powerful Great Daos had never evolved into Dao Forms. Furthermore, because of their innate nature, Primeval Dao Forms were forever denied the opportunity to comprehend those Great Daos.”

“Human cultivators, however, were different. Any Dao naturally existing between Heaven and Earth could be refined and mastered by humans.”

Emperor Sanmo's tone suddenly became heavy.

“This was also the beginning of the disaster that befell our race.”

“In the original world of our race, the number of human cultivators was far too small to compare with us. Most humans existed merely as pets and food in our eyes. We monopolized the methods of cultivation. Only obedient humans were permitted to cultivate. They became our claws and fangs, helping us suppress other humans...”

Emperor Sanmo slowly recounted the secrets of the demon beast race.

Nearby, Qiao Shisi, who had been comprehending the Dao, could not help but become distracted and listen.

Even throughout the countless cycles of the Era, he had never experienced this part of history.

Upon hearing that humans had once merely been food for the demon beasts, he could not help slightly frowning.

He had received Emperor Sanmo's care for a long time, yet he had never heard him mention any of this.

Li Fan, however, remained completely expressionless.

“We were not a short sighted or unintelligent race. From those human cultivators who submitted to us, we saw the terrifying potential contained within the human body. Thus, we tightened our control over humanity even further.”

“According to the normal trajectory of history, theoretically speaking, there should have been no possibility of human cultivators rising in our homeland.”

“And in reality, that was indeed the case. Because the greatest variable came from beyond the possibilities of the world!”

When Emperor Sanmo reached this point, there was a trace of helplessness in his voice.

Li Fan seemed to understand something upon hearing this, and a sharp glint flashed through his eyes.

“Then, one day, the great disaster of our race descended for no apparent reason.”

“A [Nameless True Immortal] actually crossed possibilities and descended into our spacetime. After witnessing the miserable state of humanity, he began a crazed slaughter and revenge.”

“At first, our race possessed thirteen [Primeval Dao Forms]. Yet in the battle against that Nameless True Immortal, more than half of them were killed or severely wounded...”

Although Emperor Sanmo's tone remained calm, Li Fan could still detect the deep fear hidden within it.

“That Nameless True Immortal was also severely wounded and temporarily retreated. However, before leaving, he plundered the remains of five Primeval Dao Forms that he had slaughtered. If he refined the Great Dao contained within those remains, our race would inevitably face complete extinction.”

“The remaining Dao Forms exhausted countless possibilities, yet they could not find a path by which our race could emerge victorious. Thus, in their despair and helplessness, they had no choice but to choose escape.”

“However, as I said before, at the beginning of the Primeval Era, crossing possibilities was simply too difficult. Although we do not know how that inexplicable Nameless True Immortal who descended into our spacetime accomplished it, according to our deductions and calculations, even if all eight surviving Dao Forms sacrificed themselves, they would still be unable to allow most of our race to escape.”

“Everything in the world could be exhausted, yet it would only be enough for one person to escape!”

The figure of Emperor Yi immediately flashed through Li Fan's mind.

“Myriad Forms Returning to One?”

Emperor Sanmo nodded.

“Our race all evolved from the Primeval Dao Forms. At that time, if we wished to preserve even a thread of hope for survival, there was only one path, fusion and returning to the ancient origin.”

“To preserve the integrity of our surviving race as much as possible in the future.”

“Countless members of our race, some willingly and others unwillingly, entered that enormous furnace.”

“In the end, they were fused into [Emperor Yi].” Emperor Sanmo said calmly.

“The unfortunate part was that five of the most ancient and powerful Primeval Dao Forms had already been lost.”

“Afterward, another seven contributed themselves and dissipated while crossing possibilities.”

“Of the thirteen Primeval Dao Forms, only one remained. From that point onward, our race could never again achieve the glory of the Primeval Era.”

There was a trace of desolation in Emperor Sanmo's voice.

“Seven Primeval Dao Forms were required to leap across the timeline?” Li Fan did not care about Emperor Sanmo's emotions and narrowed his eyes.

“That was an old account from the Primeval Era. After the great catastrophe descended, the upper limit of power required to leap across possibilities gradually became lower.”

Emperor Sanmo waved his hand. Countless illusions appeared before them within the ruins of Nanming Sacred Mountain.

They were exactly the same as what Li Fan had seen back then in the Fallen Immortal Realm.

“As the saying goes, one must remain vigilant even in times of peace. After completing the escape, although we temporarily obtained safety, and Emperor Yi successfully began slowly separating the myriad forms of our race, the terror brought by that Nameless True Immortal still lingered in our hearts.”

“Therefore, we continued searching for a method that could allow us to escape from the realm of possibilities.”

“[Ancient Cang Primal Essence] was our discovery.”

Li Fan extended his hand, and the bronze colored energy sphere appeared once again.

“[Ancient Cang Primal Essence]?” Li Fan muttered thoughtfully.

“That is what our race calls it. In truth, human cultivators should have another name for it. This object was actually discovered by us within the ruins left behind by human cultivators. Yet I have lived within human society for tens of thousands of years, and I have never discovered any records concerning this object.”

Emperor Sanmo explained in detail.

“The divine face that sealed the Ancient Cang Primal Essence, as well as the key that opened the restriction, were both obtained by us from those ruins.”

“This ruin is within the Xuanhuang Realm?” A sharp glint appeared in Li Fan's eyes.

Emperor Sanmo nodded.

“Every possibility has slightly different names and actual locations. But at least among the possibilities we have experienced, its existence can always be found within roughly this region.”

“It seems that you have not escaped from calamity only once.” Li Fan stared intently at Emperor Sanmo.

“In the face of countless possibilities, time and the number of times have no great meaning.”

Emperor Sanmo looked toward the place where the Great Rift Vortex had long since become completely empty.
