One Trait Draw Per Year Even Simulations Count

[When the Five Elements collapsed and the Starry Domains fell, the Fiery-Eyed Golden Monkey, together with some Qi Transformation realm cultivators from the human world, tried to intercept and destroy the massive meteors hurtling toward the ground up in the sky.]

[Afterward, the Fiery-Eyed Golden Monkey vanished.]

["It can't just disappear, that's no good—my main mission this time is to take that monkey away, otherwise, it'll be hard to explain things to the Star Apes..."]

[You had already boasted, saying you knew where both monkeys were and claimed you could definitely bring them back, but now, if you couldn't find the monkey, it'd be quite embarrassing.]

["Martial God Chen, projecting yourself into the human world this time, you must have important matters to attend to. Can we be of any help?"]

[You looked around at your surroundings and let out a deep sigh.]

["Pavilion Master Zhuge, take care of yourselves. Try to survive."]

["Sigh... the next step after the Five Elements' chaos is for everything to return to primordial chaos—nothing will be left..."]

["Don't worry, there will be salvation."]

[You said nothing more, leaped into the air, and vanished from the spot.]

[How?]

[There was naturally no way with this Simulation.]

[It would have to rely on future Simulations.]

[Feng Yucheng's framing in Baiyun County, the great war with the Demon Tribe in the Great Wastes, the Dragon-Man invasion from another world.]

[One crisis after another—you had overcome them all.]

[This time, you were still confident you could find a solution.]

[This Simulation could only focus on gathering as much intelligence as possible, preparing for the next attempt to solve the problem.]

[If the Fiery-Eyed Golden Monkey was no longer in the human world, finding him this time would be difficult.]

[Although, with your Core Formation cultivation level, traveling to other planes wasn't hard, it would be like searching for a needle in a haystack, and your time was limited.]

[Better to start searching in the human world first.]

[You pushed your Divine Sense to its maximum power, scanning every single detail of heaven and earth.]

[Thankfully, the Starry Domains were gone, saving you a huge area that needed searching.]

[While tracking down the Fiery-Eyed Golden Monkey's traces, you spotted Li Chengqian.]

[The city was broken, the people dead.]

[The Great Qian capital city was a desolate wasteland.]

[For the past ten years, the imperial court had concentrated all its resources and strength to protect the capital, but just recently, they couldn't hold out any longer.]

[Rain poured down like a torrent, as if the sky had broken open, flooding the low-lying areas of the capital and carving the ancient city into isolated patches.]

[Magma erupted from the ground, great fires blazing through the heavy rain, impossible to extinguish.]

[The citizens and soldiers in the city were either dead or fleeing.]

[The civil and military officials, dragging along their families, were too busy looking after themselves to help others, all desperately seeking a place to settle down.]

[The moment the defensive forces relaxed, the disasters struck the ancient city with even greater fury, and within a day or two, everything was destroyed.]

[Inside the vast imperial palace.]

[Li Chengqian sat alone in the empty main hall, wearing a slightly disheveled imperial robe.]

["Go! All of you go! As long as there is a single citizen left in this city, I, Zhen, will never leave!"]

[His voice echoed through the hall.]

[Then, laughing and crying at the same time, he collapsed from his dragon throne onto the floor.]

["Great Qian!!"]

[The sounds outside the palace gradually faded away.]

[Nothing remained but the howling of the heaven-and-earth disasters.]

[Li Chengqian's Divine Sense enveloped the entire city.]

[The floodwaters were steadily rising, about to submerge the imperial palace.]

[There was no one left in the city.]

[If the capital, the heart of the nation, was in such a state, it was easy to imagine how much worse things were elsewhere.]

[A single bolt of white silk hung before the main gate of the hall.]

[Li Chengqian had decided to die with his nation.]

["Though the nation has fallen, it is not my fault, nor the fault of the officials! Heaven and earth are unmerciful, treating all creation as straw dogs!"]

[He tried to hang himself for a while.]

[His cultivation level was too high—he couldn't die.]

[Just as Li Chengqian was about to find another way to die, you appeared.]

["Benefactor?! No, Martial God Chen!"]

[You smiled.]

["It's me."]

["I heard Martial God Chen ascended to the Real Realm, how could you..."]

[You had no choice but to explain everything to Li Chengqian once more.]

[After speaking, you glanced at the white silk.]

["Are you planning to..."]

["Forgive me for making a fool of myself before Martial God Chen. But this is what I, the emperor, should do. Great Qian has fallen, the people are suffering. I am the emperor—I must bear the primary responsibility. Only death can atone for my sins."]

[You patted him on the shoulder.]

["Don't be so stubborn. This is a natural disaster, though its essence is caused by man-made disaster.

Why not keep your life instead, use your cultivation and your influence to save as many people as you can.

That's still better than dying here."]

[Your words awakened the man lost in his thoughts.]

["Martial God Chen speaks the truth!"]

["As emperor, I imagine you know a great deal. I'd like to ask you a few things."]

["Martial God Chen, please ask. But if you're going to ask who destroyed the five root cores, I truly have no idea. No one in this world knows. Otherwise, everyone would have already gone to find that bastard and take revenge!"]

["What about Senior Hua Wuyan? She was a Guardian. Didn't she notice anything at all?"]

["She died an unnatural death twenty years ago. As for who did it, the Dragon Protection Department investigated for years but never found out. Now it seems it could only have been the one who destroyed the five root cores."]

["So it seems that person really started planning a long time ago... What about Li Lingyue?"]

["Ten years ago, she set foot on the Path to Immortality and went to the Real Realm."]

["She ascended?"]

[Li Lingyue's cultivation speed in this Simulation was even faster than in previous ones.]

[Perhaps because before you ascended, the words you said to the Li Imperial Clan ensured that Li Lingyue received the full protection of the entire royal family.]

[On top of that, she had a mentor as renowned as a Guardian guiding her.]

[Plus, the immense power of her Faith Sacred Physique.]

[When Li Lingyue ascended, the Five Elements of heaven and earth had not yet completely collapsed.]

[The year after she left, the Path to Immortality didn't reappear as it had in previous years—probably related to the chaos of the Five Elements.]

["However, before she ascended, Li Lingyue said that the person who killed her master Hua Wuyan came from the Real Realm. She was going to the Real Realm to find that person and avenge her master."]

[Truly worthy of the female lead—still brave enough to love and hate, decisive in her actions.]

[But there was a wealth of information in that statement.]

["How could Li Lingyue be certain that person was from the Real Realm... From the way that bastard acted, he wasn't that powerful. Otherwise, he wouldn't have waited until after the Great Demon and Shen Yang ascended to strike."]

[From Li Chengqian, you also learned that your Elder Brother and Third Sister had died in this catastrophe.]

[You had already mentally prepared yourself, so there wasn't much turmoil in your heart.]

[When the world had become like this, how many people could possibly survive?]

[As time went on, the entire human world would turn into a chaotic soup—nothing would remain, nothing would be anything.]

[The outcome was already set. You didn't want to dwell on it and grieve excessively.]

[You bid farewell to Li Chengqian and went about your own business.]

[Unable to find the monkey on the mainland, you decided to search overseas.]

[You headed east first.]

[You passed through the Great Wastes and saw the Demon Tribe struggling to survive amidst the calamity.]

[Of the Four Great Demon Ancestors, only the Black Tortoise remained alive, using its massive body to shield a group of weak demon tribe members from the raging storm.]
