One Trait Draw Per Year Even Simulations Count

【Your gaze swept over the crowd as you suddenly bellowed.】

【"All-Knowing!"】

【All-Knowing was so frightened that goosebumps erupted all over his green skin, and he scrambled over with everything he had, crawling and stumbling, covered in dust and utterly disheveled.】

【"Your servant is here!!"】

【You gave a slight nod, putting on the airs that Chen Five had displayed in the late stage of the simulation.】

【"Let's go."】

【"You got it—"】

【All-Knowing had been forced to act as a guide before, but now he looked like he couldn't wait to tag along.】

【He even stuck his chin out, as if showing off to the surrounding cultivator onlookers.】

【Before those two Transcendent Realm powerhouses could react, you took All-Knowing and left the area.】

【Once you were far away, you directly stepped into the Seven Divine Starry Steps and fled at maximum speed.】

【"Keep up!"】

【"Senior, why are we running so fast?"】

【"Didn't I say I have important business to handle!"】

【"Right, right, right..."】

【"I need to find a sect dominated by the human race. Which is the largest human sect on Blazing Star?"】

【Hearing this, All-Knowing let out a laugh.】

【"What kind of power do humans have? Human sects are all weaklings, just vassals of the big sects, doing their grunt work and managing the tiny places the big sects can't be bothered with. They—"】

【Mid-sentence, he realized you were human yourself and quickly stopped his instinctive belittling of your race.】

【"If we're talking about numbers and overall strength, the Firewood Sect should be the so-called 'largest power.'"】

【"Firewood Sect? What kind of crappy name is that? Is it even a proper sect?"】

【"All human sects are like that. The good-sounding names are all taken by us superior races' sects. Humans don't have the right to... uh, I mean, the Firewood Sect is actually pretty decent. Down-to-earth..."】

【You asked for directions.】

【Then you found a nearby town and sent All-Knowing to buy two flying mounts.】

【Once you mounted up, the two of you headed toward the Firewood Sect.】

【Along the way, you pumped All-Knowing for more information, including the location of the Myriad Treasures Child Goddess's lair.】

【After seeing your 'terrifying' display, you wondered if that Old Hag might try to cut and run.】

【Thinking of this, while All-Knowing wasn't paying attention, you secretly released Chen Two and sent him to keep an eye on the Myriad Treasures Child Goddess.】

【Thanks to the 'local area network communication' between you and your clones, even from far away at the Child Goddess's location, Chen Two could report back to you at any time.】

【After that, you took some time to study the Jade Slip.】

【"Slash Three Souls..."】

【It was a spell, and the name seemed a bit odd and eccentric.】

【What was stranger was that you couldn't cultivate it. This was the first time Proficiency had hit a wall.】

【However, Proficiency told you the reason.】

【"Please first master the prerequisite Qi Refining Art, 'Heavenly Maiden Nine Transformations.'"】

【It wasn't hard to deduce that Heavenly Maiden Nine Transformations was the true inheritance of Tianhuo Xuan Nu, while this Slash Three Souls was merely a spell that could only be performed based on it.】

【So what exactly did Slash Three Souls do, and why was it in the female Celestial Emperor's cenotaph?】

【Although you couldn't cultivate it, that didn't stop you from reading through it several times to understand its effects.】

【The Jade Slip was made of a special material, resistant to decay and extremely sturdy. Even after countless eons, the text on it was still clearly visible.】

【The era was too distant, and the script had evolved somewhat, but fortunately, you could still vaguely make it out. Since they were all pictographic characters, you could guess the ones you didn't recognize.】

【"Using the Seven Souls as power, slash the Three Souls for rebirth!"】

【You realized this might be an incredible spell!】

【This method allowed the caster to disperse their Three Souls and have each reincarnate in different times and spaces.】

【When the reincarnated Three Souls eventually gathered again and all mastered the corresponding Merge Three Souls spell that complemented Slash Three Souls, they could merge back into one, resurrecting the original self!】

【This was true rebirth—living another life while retaining the original memories, consciousness, and cultivation level!】

【For the original self, it was as simple as casting the spell, closing her eyes, and then opening them again!】

【"That's amazing... This spell can ignore lifespan! If your lifespan runs out, you can use this method to live another life!"】

【The only problem—and the biggest one.】

【When the Three Souls are slashed away, the reincarnation is completely random.】

【The universe is vast and boundless, without end.】

【After reincarnation, each soul becomes a separate person with no memory of their past life. How could they possibly reunite?】

【The odds were simply too low.】

【"Tianhuo Xuan Nu must have seen no hope of becoming an immortal, so she created this great technique to reverse life, hoping to be resurrected in the distant future and pursue the path of immortality!"】

【Judging by the results.】

【She clearly hadn't succeeded yet.】

【The Three Souls she had slashed away still hadn't managed to reunite.】

【"Looks like it's only theoretically feasible. The practical difficulty is just too absurd..."】

【Thirty-ninth year, sixty-three years old.】

【Extracting trait tags...】

【Extraction successful!】

【「Beidou, Are You Even Sober?」(White Common): You have a contrarian personality. You question everything people say and always feel like others aren't as clear-headed as you. However, your marksmanship is excellent—you're a crack shot.】

【Adjust trait tags?】

【Yes/No】

【You chose Yes.】

【You used 「Playing the Pig to Eat the Tiger」 to replace 「Treasure-Sniffing Nose」.】

【You arrived at the Firewood Sect.】

【Sitting on the back of the flying Exotic Beast, you looked down and saw farmland, a few villages, and a rather cramped little town.】

【"Where's the sect?"】

【All-Knowing pointed at the little town.】

【"Right there, see it? That big courtyard, that's it."】

【"Huh??"】

【You had seen rundown, desolate sects before—plenty of them in the human world.】

【But on a Second-tier Star, the largest sect of the human race was crammed together with a bunch of poor commoners in a backward little town, and its so-called mountain gate was just a shabby, broken-down courtyard?】

【"It really lives up to the name Firewood Sect. Way too down-to-earth..."】

【All-Knowing told you that the land managed by the Firewood Sect was just this town, also called "Firewood," and the seven or eight villages around it.】

【The Firewood Sect was a vassal of the Blood Iron Sect. The Blood Iron Sect was a sect dominated by the bull-headed tribe. It wasn't ranked on Blazing Star, but it was decent in this area.】

【"The bull-headed tribe, that's the race where everyone is a big dumb oaf, looking all dull and stupid..."】

【"Right, right, right! Bull-heads are hilarious! I once ran into a couple of bull-heads. The wife was giving birth, and the husband was waiting outside. After a while, the midwife came out carrying the newborn calf-head and said to the husband, 'Congratulations! Your wife has delivered!' Guess what the bull-head husband said?"】
