One Trait Draw Per Year Even Simulations Count

After you left the Firewood Sect,

Shen Yifeng and Ma Bang hadn't been idle.

The two of them made a decision — to have your back!

If you could smoothly leave from the Star Harbor, that would be best, of course.

But if you couldn't get away, the two of them hoped they could coordinate your escape from the Star Harbor, also to let Ah Dou get to safety.

So, acting in their capacity as the president and vice president of the Blazing Star branch of the Torch Society, the two of them had spent the last two years spreading the word far and wide, rallying many determined members of the Human Race.

These people had gathered in towns, mines, villages, underground hideouts, and mountain forests surrounding the Star Harbor...

They were ready to drop everything and charge the Star Harbor the moment trouble broke out.

This plan carried immense risk for Shen Yifeng and Ma Bang.

But they did it anyway.

Because they had already decided not to leave any escape route, so naturally, there were no lingering worries.

"Senior Shen, Sect Master Ma, you all..."

You spotted Shen Yifeng at the very front of the charging crowd, along with many familiar faces from the Firewood Sect.

You could sense that many of the humans rushing to help weren't even cultivators — most of them were ordinary people.

They were carrying sickles, hammers, hoes, and even kitchen knives and rolling pins as weapons.

They had no armor either, just ordinary coarse cloth garments, and some were so poor they could barely cover their bodies.

You didn't know how many places Shen and Ma had traveled to in these two years, how much effort they had expended, to gather such a group.

You only knew that the difficulty involved was no less than your early days of rebellion on Fortune Star.

It was likely that not only was every single member of the Firewood Sect here, but all of the sect's savings had also been exhausted.

From all directions, the Human Race came charging in, colliding with the pursuing army of the Alien Race.

Although the Human side had greater numbers, the proportion of ordinary people was too high, so they were no match for the armies of the Three Major Sects.

It was almost a one-sided slaughter; the charging humans could only barely slow down the enemy's advance.

However, you noticed that many of the humans had explosives strapped to their bodies.

"Protect the bloodline of our Human Race!!"

"Damn Alien Race! You killed my whole family! Today, I'm taking you down with me!!"

"You think we came here to die?! We came for revenge!!"

"Even if I can't blow you to bits, I'll make a damn bang and show you not all of us Humans are cowards!"

"You stole our food! Forced us into labor! Won't let us cultivate! Why?! I ask you, WHY?!"

One by one, devastating explosions rang out amidst the chaos of the battling sides.

Don't underestimate the power of explosives.

This was the Real Realm.

Even an Innate Martial Artist couldn't withstand a detonation at close range.

Hearing their dying words, you finally understood how Shen and Ma had gathered so many people in such a short time.

They had brought in everyone who held a grudge and hatred against the Alien Race!

There were far too many such people on Blazing Star.

Or rather, there were far too many in the entire Real Realm!

Your fists clenched tightly, unable to bear seeing your kin use such suicide tactics to carve a path for your survival.

Shen Yifeng, the highest cultivation level among the arriving human reinforcements at Nine Rotations in the Core Formation realm, was like a gust of forest wind, the first to reach your side.

"Brother Chen, go! I'll hold them off!"

The nine Extreme Terrain Realm cultivators besieging you burst into laughter upon hearing this.

"A mere Core Formation realm trying to block us nine Extreme Terrain cultivators? This old man must be an idiot!"

Shen Yifeng let out a cold laugh, then suddenly roared.

"Ma Bang!!"

A thunderous boom echoed, and a figure burst forth from underground.

It was Ma Bang, his hands gripping several strange chains.

What was peculiar about these chains was that they weren't made of iron — they were pieced together from countless skulls!

"Master! I'll repay your kindness in my next life!!"

Ma Bang's body dissolved, absorbed by the nine chains in his hands.

Then, one end of these nine chains merged into one, while the other end rapidly extended, locking onto the nine Extreme Terrain cultivators and shooting out!

Your [Reverse Engineering] allowed you to see that these nine chains were actually a single entity, named the "Earthbound Ghost Chains."

This item was a Spiritual Treasure, with quality reaching the Legendary tier!

But it was an Evil Artifact.

Because every time it was used, it required the sacrifice of at least a Core Formation realm cultivator.

And Ma Bang, without a moment's hesitation, had sacrificed his own life.

Once entangled by the Earthbound Ghost Chains, even an Extreme Terrain cultivator would find it very difficult to break free.

At that point, the Earthbound Ghost Chains would continuously constrict, binding the nine targets tightly together.

"A cheap trick! You think you can trap me?!"

Facing the lock-on of the Earthbound Ghost Chains, the nine Extreme Terrain cultivators each unleashed their Divine Abilities and Spiritual Treasures.

To them, this wasn't difficult — in fact, it was quite easy.

"Brother Chen! Don't let them escape!"

Shen Yifeng shouted at you.

He knew you were strong and needed you to assist the Earthbound Ghost Chains; otherwise, Ma Bang's sacrifice would be in vain.

You knew this was an opportunity. If you could trap the nine Extreme Terrain cultivators, escaping would become much easier.

But right now, they were all running in nine different directions. How could you restrict their movements simultaneously to let the Earthbound Ghost Chains bind them?

"Think! Think! Chen Yi! Think!!"

At the brink of your limits, you thought of the second Divine Ability you had comprehended — Divine March!

But simply using Divine March for speed wasn't enough.

You needed to be faster!

Fusion!

Fuse Divine March!

With what?

The Seven Divine Starry Steps!

How to fuse?

How to fuse!

How could you reach all nine positions at the same time and knock them back?!

Appearing in nine places simultaneously?

Impossible.

Unless you were fast enough to exist in different positions at every sub-point in time, but to an outsider, it would look as if you were in multiple places at once...

Sort of like a CPU processing threads — it seems like multiple programs are running simultaneously, but the CPU is actually processing them one by one. It's just so fast that it feels like everything is happening at the same time...

Or like quantum entanglement...

In that instant, your mind crossed the boundaries of the universe and time, connecting to countless ideas.

Although you weren't equipped with [Mortal Bones] at this moment, this flash of enlightenment could be seen as the culmination of all the knowledge accumulated during the time you had worn them.

"Whoosh!"

Your figure flickered, and then suddenly disappeared from where you stood.

At the same time, you "simultaneously" appeared before all nine Extreme Terrain cultivators!

"Light Speed Fist!!"

"Heavenly Dragon Blade!!"

"Ten Thousand Souls Banner!!"

"Nine Crows Divine Bow!!"

"..."

Your nine different attack methods erupted simultaneously from nine directions, hitting all nine Extreme Terrain Alien cultivators who were busy dodging the Earthbound Ghost Chains, knocking them all back!

The Earthbound Ghost Chains took the opportunity to wrap around them, rapidly constricting and binding the nine together.

"What the hell is that?! A doppelganger?!"

"Who knows?! Stop crowding me! Move over!"

"You think I want to crowd you?! I'm stuck too, dammit!"

"Don't move around! I have a Divine Art that can neutralize this Spiritual Treasure!"

"I have one too! Let me do it!"

"This is no time to argue!!"
