One Trait Draw Per Year Even Simulations Count

[Just now you did not use doppelgangers.]

[In fact, all nine attacks of the Nine Dao were released by you alone.]

[You were simply too fast.]

[You were so fast that it gave the impression you appeared in nine places at once.]

[This is a type of footwork!]

[You fused the Divine March with the fifth-grade spell Seven Divine Starry Steps and, through application, comprehended a brand-new Divine Art.]

[You named it — Quantum Ghost Step!]

[Once this Divine Art is executed, your movement becomes ghostlike, with afterimages visible everywhere.]

[Each afterimage can be your true body, because those afterimages are you at certain moments, slowed down and left behind.]

[So it gives the impression that you are attacking from many directions at the same time.]

[Although the Earthbound Ghost Chains succeeded in binding the nine Extreme Terrain Realm cultivators together and restricting their movement,]

[it was obviously not a permanent solution.]

[Once the nine of them combined their efforts, the Earthbound Ghost Chains would definitely be destroyed.]

[You wanted to seize this opportunity and finish all nine of them at once.]

[But that would be a risky move.]

[Your destructive power might not be sufficient to secure effective kills against their defenses of Divine Arts, Spiritual Treasures, divine marks, and other means.]

[If you failed to kill all nine, you would miss the best chance to escape.]

["Brother Chen! Go! One hundred li west, there is a lone mountain, an old friend of yours is waiting there! He can take you off Blazing Star!!"]

["An old friend?"]

["Go now! I will cover your retreat!"]

["Senior Shen, you..."]

You suddenly saw Shen Yifeng slap his own dantian and pull his yuan core out of his body!

Although you did not fully understand this act, you could imagine it was nothing good.

"Swoosh!"

You stepped with Quantum Ghost Step, dissolving into countless afterimages, and in the blink of an eye had vanished from the Star Harbor battlefield.

Laughter from Shen Yifeng came from behind.

"Hahaha! I, Shen Yifeng! Have lived a lifetime humiliated under the alien races!! All I waited for was this moment!! Death may be lighter than a feather, or heavier than Mount Tai!!!"

There were also the terrified cries from the nine Extreme Terrain Realm alien commanders who were destroying the Earthbound Ghost Chains.

"Stop!! You madman!!"

"It's a forbidden spell, the yuan core detonator! Stay away from him! Too close and you'll be blown to pieces!!"

"Don't bother with that broken chain! Run!!"

"Run left!!"

"Right!!"

"Ahead!!"

Nine Extreme Terrain Realm cultivators, nine different thoughts.

By the time they reached a consensus, it was too late.

A light so bright it dimmed the sunlight erupted from the ground, a rolling mushroom cloud climbed ten thousand meters into the sky, pushing back the endless white clouds.

"Rumble!!!!!!"

Shen Yifeng and the enemy perished together.

His whole life, he had maintained an obscure human sect, barely surviving under domination by alien sects.

With his cultivation, he could have retreated into the deep mountains and lived carefree with ease.

But he did not.

He made one thought: to save the people.

Lacking greater power, he could only do his utmost.

He used a forbidden spell to detonate his yuan core, killing the enemies but also causing heavy casualties among allied forces.

But no one would blame him.

Because everyone who took part in this operation had signed a life-or-death pledge before setting out.

If you lived, it was heaven's favor.

If you died, it was for the continuation of the race, and thus without disgrace.

In a world where immortality is supreme, strength equals the right to speak.

If the human race were all ordinary mortals, they would be utterly reduced to ants.

Preserving the geniuses who can cultivate is how hope for the future is seeded.

It was precisely because predecessors always acted this way that the torch was passed on, allowing some human sects to still exist on Blazing Star today.

If modern people do not follow the example of the past, how can there be a present?

You stood a hundred li away, the light from the yuan core explosion casting across your face.

"Again like this..."

Fortune Star was like this, and Blazing Star like this.

Your fist clenched tightly.

You knew deeply this was not the problem of Fortune Star, not the problem of Blazing Star, not the problem of the Winged God Church, not the problem of the Three Major Sects.

The problem was this world itself!

The infinite vault of heaven, the starry cosmos, the myriad tribes of heaven and earth — and yet it could not accommodate the human race?!

Where exactly did things go wrong?!

Your gaze pierced the void, crossing time and space, and you once more met eye-to-eye with the version of yourself outside the simulation.

In reality.

Chen Yi sat in his yard watching the simulation playback.

Seeing this made him feel unsettled.

Although it was only a simulation, it reflected a larger truth: in that boundless Real Realm, the plight of humanity was probably like this everywhere.

Stories even more tragic and heroic than what the simulated version of you suffered were unfolding every day.

"Brother, we will definitely find out the cause of all this. Fight to survive, and live this life well."

[You turn and climb the mountain. As you approach the summit, you feel a familiar aura.]

["Why does it feel like..."]

You were not entirely sure.

Only when you reached the mountaintop did you see that black steed.

"Black Wind?!"

"Boss!!"

Bloodied and exhausted from the desperate breakout, you hugged Black Wind's neck, holding him tight.

"Black Wind, how are you on Blazing Star?"

The year you set foot on the Path to Immortality, you had Black Wind take the Path to Immortality the following year to reach the Real Realm.

You knew Black Wind would come to the Real Realm, but the Real Realm was vast, and the forks along the Path to Immortality were many; you had no hope of reuniting with Black Wind in this life.

Unexpectedly, life gave you a pleasant surprise.

Black Wind told you that after coming down the Path to Immortality, he did not appear directly on Blazing Star.

Instead he arrived at a place called Watergrass Star.

That habitable planet was covered in grasslands, where Black Wind never lacked food.

No intelligent species lived on Watergrass Star, but caravans occasionally passed through to gather resources.

Black Wind had been discovered by one of those caravans.

"They said I was an ancient divine beast."

"An ancient divine beast? Ah, Black Wind, I always knew you were powerful, clearly a unique existence!"

"There are countless like me in another part of this local galaxy..."

"Is, is that so."

Black Wind belonged to the Dragon-Scale Horse breed, specifically the Soul Horse subcategory.

Dragon-Man, Winged Clan, Human Race, Demon Tribe — they all belonged to the same broader group called the 'humanoid races.'

The local galaxy you are in is called the Celestial River Galaxy. Dragon-Scale Horses are in another local galaxy, an almost unimaginably far distance away.

"That caravan respected me greatly. They said the Dragon-Scale Horse clan was powerful and wanted to make friendly ties. They asked if I was lost on Watergrass Star and if I wanted to ride their star ship to search for my kin.

So I boarded their star ship and traveled to many planets.

Not long ago, we arrived at Blazing Star.

I heard there were humans here who had once, from Core Formation, slain Dragon-Man of the Transcendent Realm. It sounded a lot like the boss's style, so I stayed to ask around about you..."
