Chapter 413: Simulator 7.0 Version Update, Major Changes!
Feeling the auspicious light from the sky falling upon him, Su Xing's mood was exceptionally pleasant.
"The Golden Immortal realm! Finally achieved!"
Su Xing closed his eyes slightly and carefully sensed the changes in his body.
The seemingly inexhaustible immortal energy within him, his perfected physical body, all reflected two words – powerful!
And his now-full soul, with a mere thought, Su Xing could sense the slightest movement within half of the Starry Sky Realm.
Within Su Xing's range of divine sense, any rustling of leaves or swaying of grass couldn't escape his eyes.
"Right now, how powerful has my soul truly become?"
Su Xing was curious and, with a thought, released his divine sense entirely.
His divine sense spread out like a tide.
Ten thousand miles... fifty thousand miles... a million miles...
Three million miles... five million miles...
Finally, Su Xing's divine sense reached a range of eight million miles!
"A full eighty times the increase! Is this the power of a Golden Immortal's soul?"
Su Xing took a deep breath and suppressed his excitement.
This level of power was something Su Xing had never experienced before!
He was now completely certain that his strength was absolutely comparable to that of a Golden Immortal at the Great Perfection stage!
"The only flaw is..."
Su Xing looked at his remaining Energy Origin, only a little over five million remained...
This made Su Xing feel completely insecure!
"Five million plus Energy Origin... it's not even enough for a breakthrough to the first layer of the Golden Immortal realm, and it's difficult for my physical body to break through to the sixth layer of the Great Witch Body Tempering Art!"
"Sigh, I also have to leave the Starry Sky Realm and go to Blue Star..."
"There are only three months left before Blood Three arrives on Blue Star, I must be fully prepared!"
Su Xing glanced at the time, it was time to leave the Starry Sky Realm.
Thinking this, Su Xing took a step and appeared within the Ziwei Tribe.
As soon as he arrived, he saw the Star Slave who had been waiting for him.
The Star Slave was currently in an excited state, with tears seemingly welling up in his eyes.
He knelt on one knee before Su Xing and said excitedly:
"Congratulations to Lord Starry Sky Master on restoring your strength and entering the Golden Immortal realm! May Lord Starry Sky Master live as long as Heaven and Earth, and may your spiritual energy be boundless..."
Hearing the old man's incessant flattery, Su Xing felt a little embarrassed and rubbed his nose, saying:
"Ahem, my strength has slightly improved, it's nothing to mention..."
Without needing to think, Su Xing knew that the commotion caused by his Golden Immortal breakthrough was too great, causing the Star Slave, who was ten thousand miles away, to sense it.
The breakthrough to the Golden Immortal realm naturally had a massive impact, even with the simulator's concealment, it prevented the tribulation thunder from falling.
If Su Xing had broken through on Blue Star, it would have caused unnecessary trouble.
"It seems that in the future, I can't break through to Taiyi Golden Immortal on Blue Star either..."
Su Xing murmured.
The Star Slave in front of him, upon hearing Su Xing's words, was even more impressed.
Such a momentous event as breaking through to Golden Immortal was considered insignificant by Lord Starry Sky Master...
Su Xing didn't know what the Star Slave was thinking, but simply said:
"Next, I will be leaving the Starry Sky Realm for a while, it might be a few months before I return..."
"How many Star Stones have you collected in the past few days, give them to me all at once!"
Upon hearing this, the Star Slave quickly took out a storage pouch and handed it to Su Xing, adding:
"Lord Starry Sky Master... I have a suggestion, in a few days, there will be many more tribes coming, and they will offer many Star Stones..."
"If Lord Starry Sky Master isn't in a hurry, you can stay in the Starry Sky Realm for another three or five days..."
After listening to the Star Slave's words, Su Xing pondered for a moment.
His current speed was extremely fast, and it was estimated that it would only take ten days to reach the Little Green Cloud Realm and Blue Star, and it wouldn't delay him much.
So he nodded in agreement: "Alright, I'll wait a few more days in the Starry Sky Realm then!"
...
Soon, five days passed.
Su Xing received another storage pouch from the Star Slave.
The two batches of Star Stones combined provided Su Xing with about five million units of Energy Origin.
Although it was a considerable amount, for Su Xing now, it was still somewhat insufficient.
After obtaining this batch of Energy Origin, Su Xing left the Starry Sky Realm and headed towards the Little Green Cloud Realm.
...
Ten days later, within the Little Green Cloud Realm.
In White Emperor City, Su Xing found his previous business partner, Bai Xuan.
As an old-timer at the late Earth Immortal stage, Bai Xuan still had that "kidney-deficient" appearance, but his overall mental state had improved significantly compared to a year ago.
It seemed that since cooperating with Su Xing, he hadn't lacked for oil and water.
Bai Xuan's attitude towards Su Xing remained as respectful as ever, politely saying:
"Brother Su! It's been a while! What have you been busy with recently?"
"Here, this is the exotic metal ore I've collected over this period... take a look?"
Su Xing nodded slightly and took the storage pouch, with a thought, he tried to convert it into Energy Origin.
Immediately, the simulator's prompt sounded.
[Ding, detected... 2,347,098 units of Energy Origin, absorb?]
Su Xing smiled slightly, in two months, he had obtained over two million units of Energy Origin.
It seemed that Bai Xuan hadn't been slacking off.
Su Xing was in a good mood and patted Bai Xuan on the shoulder, saying:
"My cultivation has made a small breakthrough recently..."
"This is fifty million high-grade spirit stones... as a deposit for your ore acquisition over the next few months!"
"Even if the price is higher, that's fine... the most important thing is that the quantity must be guaranteed!"
Su Xing casually handed over the storage pouch containing fifty million high-grade spirit stones.
Bai Xuan was stunned, after confirming the spirit stones in the storage pouch, his legs almost buckled.
This was fifty million high-grade spirit stones!
Not to mention him, a small Earth Immortal, even Heavenly Immortals or even True Immortals would be envious if they saw this!
"Su... Brother Su, such a large sum of spirit stones... are you really, not worried?"
Bai Xuan swallowed hard, where was the demeanor of an Earth Immortal cultivator?
With these fifty million high-grade spirit stones, if he got his hands on them, with the vastness of the Little Green Cloud Realm, where couldn't he go?
It would even be enough to help him forcibly break through to Heavenly Immortal!
Bai Xuan was truly curious, was this mysterious "Brother Su" not afraid that he would abscond with the funds?
Su Xing smiled slightly.
Fifty million high-grade spirit stones were indeed a huge sum for him two months ago.
But over the past two months, Su Xing had found several Luotian inheritances and had also taken the legacy of Yellow Sand Daoist.
These mere fifty million high-grade spirit stones were nothing to Su Xing anymore.
Su Xing's purpose in taking out such a large amount of spirit stones was not to show off, but to get Bai Xuan to increase the intensity of his ore collection.
The general meaning was, brother, I'm not short of money, you can send as much ore as you can get!
As for... whether Su Xing was afraid that Bai Xuan would abscond with the funds?
Su Xing smiled slightly, looking at Bai Xuan, who was still unaware of the situation, Su Xing's heart moved.
He simply emanated a strand of his aura and enveloped Bai Xuan.
In an instant, Bai Xuan felt drenched in sweat, his eyes widened as he looked at Su Xing, and under Su Xing's pressure, he couldn't even breathe!
The process lasted about half a minute before Su Xing withdrew his aura and returned to his harmless appearance. He patted Bai Xuan on the shoulder and said:
"Brother Bai, our cooperation has been so pleasant... you wouldn't want anything to disrupt it, would you?"
After saying this, Su Xing gave Bai Xuan a meaningful look and left the Wanjin Pavilion private room.
After Su Xing left, Bai Xuan could no longer hold back, he collapsed onto the ground in fright.
His legs trembled uncontrollably.
"This... this..."
"This Brother Su... no, Senior Su, what exactly is his cultivation level!?"
Bai Xuan swallowed hard, under Su Xing's aura just now, he had absolutely no desire to resist!
Bai Xuan, with his extensive network of contacts, had a prominent family within the Little Green Cloud Realm.
The True Immortal City Lord of White Emperor City was actually Bai Xuan's uncle!
Because of this, Bai Xuan could live a carefree life in White Emperor City and still had so many connections.
Therefore, Bai Xuan had also seen True Immortal powerhouses make their move, but neither the aura nor the oppressive feeling was comparable to Su Xing just now.
"So, this Senior Su is a True Immortal powerhouse? Or even, higher!?"
Thinking this, Bai Xuan's breathing became slightly stagnant, where would he dare to have any thoughts of embezzling Su Xing's spirit stones?
Now, he only had one thought, even if he didn't eat or drink, or consort with women, he had to get Senior Su's affairs done properly!
...
On the other side, after leaving White Emperor City, Su Xing didn't linger and directly returned to Blue Star.
Half a day later, outside Blue Star's protective barrier, Su Xing carefully and cautiously performed divination, confirming that he was not in danger.
Then, using methods to conceal his aura, he safely returned to Blue Star.
The first thing he did after returning to Daxia was to find Jin Congxue and Luo Shuyin, and take out all of the Tarot Chamber of Commerce's earnings from the past two months.
He also went to the puppet organizations distributed throughout Blue Star.
Combined, these two sources brought Su Xing another two million units of Energy Origin in income.
At this moment, the amount of Energy Origin Su Xing had on hand had once again approached 15 million!
...
In a mountain outside Kyoto, Su Xing quietly waited for Old Master Lu's appointment.
"This time back to Blue Star, I must be fully prepared... because the next time I come back, Blood Three might already be lying in wait here!"
"This means that until I have the absolute strength to defeat Blood Three head-on, I can't return to Blue Star."
"Therefore, I need to take away all the Energy Origin I can..."
"Based on my cautious nature, Blood Three should not know my true identity... but if my main body were on Blue Star, Blood Three would definitely sense it!"
Su Xing pondered continuously, thinking of several preparations and backup plans.
...
Not long after, a figure appeared in the mountains, it was Lu Yuanwu.
Lu Yuanwu had rushed here in haste, and upon seeing Su Xing, he quickly said:
"Senior, what do you need me for?"
Su Xing didn't immediately state his purpose but said:
"Over the past three months, the situation with the Daxia military should be good, right?"
Lu Yuanwu nodded repeatedly upon hearing this, saying:
"Thanks to Senior... now the overall strength of our Daxia military has increased again!"
"In fact, in Daxia, a second Emperor-level powerhouse is about to be born... and that one also has some hope of making a breakthrough!"
Su Xing nodded slightly, he knew what Lu Yuanwu was referring to.
It was probably the Emperor-level powerhouse at the peak stage at Zhenyao Pass.
Although this level of strength was like ants in Su Xing's eyes, for Daxia and the human race on Blue Star, it was indeed a stabilizing force.
After confirming that his pills had taken effect, Su Xing said:
"In the coming period, I need to go out on a long journey, it could be half a year, or it could be a year..."
"Therefore, I need you to provide me with a sufficient quantity of exotic metal!"
Upon hearing Su Xing's words, Lu Yuanwu patted his chest and said:
"No problem, Senior, I'll have people get it ready right away, ten thousand tons of fourth-order exotic metal has already been prepared..."
Su Xing heard Lu Yuanwu's words and shook his head slightly:
"Not enough!"
Lu Yuanwu was stunned for a moment, ten thousand tons of fourth-order exotic metal wasn't enough?
So he asked: "What does Senior mean then?"
Su Xing no longer concealed it and said:
"I need all the exotic metal that the Daxia military can mobilize... and all kinds of dungeon props!"
"The sooner the better!"
Pausing for a moment, Su Xing continued:
"As for the price..."
Su Xing took out a storage ring and said:
"This storage ring contains 100 eighth-order Rebirth Pills, 1000 seventh-order Rebirth Pills, 10,000 sixth-order Rebirth Pills... and ten ninth-order Rebirth Pills!"
"I believe these things will help Daxia's strength improve a lot..."
Upon hearing Su Xing's words, Lu Yuanwu finally lost his composure completely.
Eighth-order Rebirth Pills were enough to allow Emperor-level powerhouses to ascend to Saint-level!
100 Rebirth Pills, if time permitted, the Daxia military could even cultivate over ten Saint-level powerhouses!
Not to mention the 1000 seventh-order Rebirth Pills and 10,000 sixth-order Rebirth Pills...
As for the ten ninth-order Rebirth Pills, this was something Lu Yuanwu wouldn't even dare to dream of!
It wasn't an exaggeration to say that.
With this batch of pills, the Daxia military's strength could increase tenfold in the next ten years!
And it would be a growth in top-tier combat power!
"Senior... you mean, all the exotic metal reserves and dungeon props of the Daxia military?"
Lu Yuanwu was still a little unsure.
Although the wealth in front of him was enormous, even Lu Yuanwu didn't have the authority to mobilize all the exotic metal and dungeon props of the Daxia military.
But, the opportunity was right there!
Such a huge batch of pills, such an excellent opportunity, how could it be compared to mere exotic metal?
If he missed this opportunity, Lu Yuanwu suspected he would regret it for the rest of his life.
So, Lu Yuanwu gritted his teeth and said:
"Senior, give me a month, I'll try my best to mobilize all the exotic metal and dungeon props from the Daxia treasury..."
"This matter is too big, I need to ask for the opinion of the one at Zhenyao Pass..."
After listening, Su Xing pondered for a while. A month's time, Su Xing wasn't in a hurry to wait!
So he nodded:
"Alright, it will indeed take time for you to mobilize the exotic metal... let's meet here again in a month then!"
After saying this, Su Xing took a step and left the area.
...
In the Spirit Field Paradise, Su Xing glanced at his remaining simulation opportunities.
"Three simulation opportunities remaining, 15 million units of Energy Origin..."
"I should be able to improve my cultivation a little more, right?"
Su Xing has now obtained all the Energy Origin he could get in the short term.
As for the Daxia military, obtaining Energy Origin from them would require waiting for a month.
Su Xing naturally couldn't waste this month.
Therefore, Su Xing planned to use up his remaining three simulation opportunities.
"After breaking through to Golden Immortal, my Qi Refinement cultivation is likely to stagnate for a while..."
"So next, I need to go to the Nine Heavens Domain, the Seventh Heaven..."
"Only in the Seventh Heaven can I find news of the Primordial Origin Tree..."
"...and the Heavenly Mirror, with Golden Immortal cultivation, I wonder how much I can repair the Heavenly Mirror."
"My Dao comprehension also needs to push the Spatial Dao to the sixth realm as soon as possible..."
Su Xing listed several plans for his future simulations.
Before officially starting the simulation, Su Xing looked at his current attribute panel.
[Name: Su Xing]
[Age: 24]
[Occupation: Cultivator]
[Cultivation: Golden Immortal First Layer, Great Witch Body Tempering Art Fifth Layer Great Perfection]
[Cultivation Techniques: Ruyi Visualization Diagram, Luotian Transformation Immortal Art, Zhengyi Breathing Art, Great Witch Body Tempering Art, Small Circulation Stargazing Method]
[Talents: Five Elements Saint Body, Alien, Good Fortune, Extra Bonus, Innate Dao Body, Spatial Origin Body, Late Bloomer, Unscrupulous, Devour Heaven, Innate Sword Body, Indestructible Cockroach...]
[Skills: Void Sword (Minor Completion), Spirit Domain (Eight Thousand Miles), Alchemy (Great Completion), Five Elements Immortal Explosion Art (Great Perfection), Divine Farmer Spirit Nurturing Art (Great Perfection), Divine Sense Eight Million Miles (Heavenly Man Realm), Protective Sword Qi (Six Thousand Four Hundred), Eight Trigrams Fortune Calculation Art (Great Perfection), Formation Dao (Great Completion), Sword Control Art (Great Perfection), Puppet Dao (Great Completion), Various Cultivation Art Techniques...]
[Dao Comprehension: Dao of Thunder (Fifth Realm), Dao of Five Elements (Fifth Realm), Dao of Sword (Fifth Realm), Dao of Speed (Fifth Realm), Dao of Strength (Fourth Realm), Dao of Destiny (Fifth Realm), Dao of Cause and Effect (Fifth Realm), Dao of Space (Fifth Realm), Dao of Slaughter (Fourth Realm)...]
[Special Constitution: Heavenly Thunder Saint Body]
With Su Xing officially entering the Golden Immortal realm, the talents, skills, and cultivation techniques on his panel could be described as luxurious.
It was precisely these talents and Dao comprehensions that allowed Su Xing, upon initially entering the Golden Immortal realm, to have the confidence to contend with peak Golden Immortals!
"However, there are not many empty slots left in the talent list... and my strength growth has temporarily reached a bottleneck."
"The ideal state is naturally to earn enough Energy Origin... but if I really can't earn enough, I can only prioritize improving my Dao comprehension!"
Su Xing thought this.
After confirming his goals for this simulation, Su Xing silently recited:
"Begin simulation!"
As soon as the words fell, the familiar lottery interface did not appear.
Instead, Su Xing heard a system prompt in his ear.
[Ding, detected that the host has broken through to the Golden Immortal realm, the simulator version can be further upgraded. This upgrade will cost ten million units of Energy Origin. Upgrade?]
Upon hearing this prompt, Su Xing was stunned for a moment.
The long-awaited new version of the simulator was finally here!
But seeing the ten million units of Energy Origin upgrade cost... Su Xing suddenly felt a bit annoyed.
"Damn it, I only have fifteen million plus units of Energy Origin..."
"But this simulator update is something I absolutely need to do!"
Su Xing gritted his teeth, if his Energy Origin was truly insufficient for him to break through to the sixth layer of the Great Witch Body Tempering Art, he would have no choice but to prioritize improving his Dao comprehension.
As for cultivation, he would wait until the Energy Origin from the Daxia military arrived.
So, Su Xing took a deep breath and silently recited:
"Confirm upgrade!"
He heard the simulator's voice.
[Ding, you have spent 10 million units of Energy Origin, remaining Energy Origin: 5,237,856 units...]
[Simulator version upgrading...]
[Please wait...]
[Version upgrade successful!]
After the upgrade success prompt sounded, Su Xing couldn't wait to check the updated features.
————
[Ding, Simulator 7.0 version update features are as follows:]
[1. Increased lottery odds, the probability of drawing a golden legendary talent is 100%, the probability of a red mythical talent is 20%.]
[2. Removed the talent list upper limit...]
[3. Increased the number of simulation storage slots, the maximum number of unsimulated opportunities that can be stored is five.]
[4. Added a reward storage function, unextracted rewards can be temporarily stored in the reward pool for a certain amount of Energy Origin, up to three rewards can be stored.]
[5. Added a time point preset function, you can preset your actions before a certain time point in advance, and directly start the simulation from that time point...]
[6. Added a time rewind function, the host will randomly retain some of their strength and memories and be transported to a certain point in the past... rewinding through everything you've experienced will not have any impact on reality...]
[7. Optimized talent pool lottery...]
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 414: First Time Rewind, the Chrome Tribe of the Witch Clan!
Su Xing, gazing at the updated content of the simulation interface before him, felt a surge of joy.
"A total of seven updates… excluding the unreliable seventh one…"
"Tsk tsk, the changes in the simulator this time are significant!"
Su Xing examined each update one by one.
First was the increased probability of talent lottery.
Useless purple talents were finally completely replaced, with the chance of obtaining a golden talent increased to 100%.
Even the probability of drawing a red talent had reached 20%, significantly higher than the previous 5%!
"A 20% probability means that in future simulations, red talents can gradually replace golden talents!"
Su Xing nodded with satisfaction.
"As for the second update, the talent slot limit has been completely removed… This means that in the future, any talent that is useful to me can potentially be brought out!"
"Furthermore, if I encounter a cultivation bottleneck, I can rely solely on the accumulation of pure talents to become a numerical monster!"
Su Xing's eyes lit up. This second update undoubtedly greatly increased Su Xing's upper limit.
Possessing a hundred Divine Bodies was no longer a dream!
Su Xing's current goal was to collect the complete set of Ten Sacred Bodies!
At that time, Su Xing alone would be equal to the combined geniuses of three thousand worlds…
"As for the third point, the stored simulation opportunity limit has been increased to five times… This means I can perform a maximum of six consecutive simulations. If my energy is insufficient within a month and a half, I can postpone it."
Su Xing nodded slightly. This point wasn't particularly helpful to him.
After all, Su Xing could completely consume his excess simulation opportunities through immersive simulations.
"As for the fourth update, it's a new addition: the reward storage function!"
A flicker of excitement crossed Su Xing's eyes.
This feature, which he had long anticipated, was finally here!
With reward storage, if Su Xing was short on resources and lacked simulation energy, he could delay bringing out the rewards.
Alternatively, if Su Xing faced a difficult choice of rewards, he could temporarily store them and pay an extra fee to retrieve them later.
For example, if Su Xing obtained a red talent, Qi Refinement cultivation, and Body Refinement cultivation in a simulation.
With three rewards, previously, Su Xing could only choose two.
But now, with reward storage, Su Xing could pay extra energy to temporarily store these rewards.
Then Su Xing could pay more energy to retrieve the rewards.
While this approach would cost more energy, the efficiency of obtaining rewards would be significantly higher.
"As for whether this new function has other uses, it remains unknown for now…"
Su Xing pondered for a moment, then turned his gaze to the fifth update.
"A new time point preset function… For example, if my simulations for the next few years are fixed, I don't need to waste time and can directly start from a fixed time point…"
Su Xing thought for a moment. This new function didn't seem very useful.
Then, Su Xing turned his attention to the sixth new function.
This was also the new function Su Xing was most looking forward to!
"Time Rewind!"
"Not only can I simulate future events… but also the past?"
"It's just the past within the simulation, it won't affect the present…"
"But if I simulate the past, can I bring out the gains I obtain?"
At this moment, Su Xing heard a prompt from the simulator.
[Ding, the Time Rewind function… is similar to randomly triggering a chance encounter that sends you back to the past.]
[The host can personally participate in a past event. Once the event ends, the simulation will immediately end, and you will return to reality…]
After hearing the simulator's prompt, Su Xing frowned slightly.
This Time Rewind function actually had a time limit.
What exactly did 'one past event' refer to?
Su Xing was curious. "So, can I obtain rewards during Time Rewind?"
[Ding, you can bring out items obtained during past events…]
"Huh? I can actually go back to the past and bring out items?"
Su Xing quickly thought of the innate spiritual treasures and heavenly materials and earthly treasures that existed in the past timeline!
If he could bring them out, it would save him a lot of trouble!
Thinking of this, Su Xing felt a surge of anticipation.
The above are all the updates to the simulator this time.
Su Xing currently has three remaining simulation opportunities and over 5 million units of primal energy.
"So, should I try out the new function?"
"Even simulating the future isn't enough to bring out cultivation… Maybe I should try Time Rewind once?"
Su Xing pondered for a moment and decided to try the Time Rewind function first.
"Begin simulation!"
[Ding, please choose whether to simulate the future or the past…]
"I choose to simulate the past!" Su Xing silently said.
[You have successfully used the Time Rewind function… Chance encounter in progress!]
[151st simulation initiated. Current remaining primal energy: 5,237,856 units… Remaining simulation opportunities: 2.]
[Simulation start!]
[Drawing a talent costs 1 unit of primal energy. Do you want to draw?]
"Yes!"
[Ding, congratulations on obtaining the golden Myriad Sounds Divine Body… Next golden talent draw probability: 100%…]
[Myriad Sounds Divine Body]: Golden talent, one of the Hundred Divine Bodies. Extraordinary comprehension of the Dao of Sound, allows for profound insights into the Way of Music.
"Another Hundred Divine Body… but unfortunately, it's not much use to me now…"
Su Xing shook his head slightly. His current learning was already quite complex.
If he added the Dao of Sound to the mix, even with the simulator's bonus, it would be quite challenging.
"In this simulation, let's try out the Time Rewind function first!"
"I wonder what time point I'll be sent to?"
Su Xing was curious. Time Rewind sent you to a random location and a random timeline.
Even Su Xing's own strength was randomly preserved.
[Ding, please select the subject for the talent enhancement…]
"I choose to enhance the Late Bloomer talent."
To be safe, Su Xing chose to enhance the Late Bloomer talent.
[You have initiated a Time Rewind…]
[In this rewind event, you can only exert your Body Refinement cultivation… Qi Refinement cultivation has dropped to the Human Immortal Realm.]
[Your talents are preserved… Spirit Field Cave Heaven is temporarily sealed…]
[You have returned to a random timeline…]
[…]
[When you regain consciousness, you find yourself lying in a vast mountain range.]
[You cautiously observe your surroundings and decide to leave the mountain range first to search for traces of the cultivation world.]
[You release your divine sense, instantly covering a 100,000-li radius around the mountain.]
[Soon, you discover a "small village" with signs of life.]
[You decide to explore this small village, and also figure out what timeline you are currently in…]
[Moments later, you arrive at the village and see the villagers…]
[These villagers are all dozens of zhang tall and as massive as mountains.]
[The moment you see them, you understand their identity… They are the Witch Clan!]
[You ponder in your heart. The timeline in which the Witch Clan exists must be before the Ancient Era.]
[But you don't know whether it's the time when the Ancient Era Witch Clan was about to perish, or a much earlier time…]
[You decide to explore the village… But as you approach, you notice something unusual.]
[The village is under attack. Thousands of alien creatures are invading this Witch Clan village.]
[And this Witch Clan village seems to only have the elderly, weak, and disabled left. The strong and healthy Witch Clan members seem to be absent.]
[Most are elderly Witch Clan members and Witch Clan children. Few possess True Immortal cultivation.]
[The invading alien force, on the other hand, has dozens of True Gods.]
[In comparison, the strength of this Witch Clan village is far too inferior!]
[In the short time you observe the situation, several elderly Witch Clan giants are killed…]
[Seeing this, you don't hesitate and immediately go to help the Witch Clan. After all, regardless of the time, alien creatures are the enemies of the cultivation world!]
[Even if there are conflicts between humans and the Witch Clan, they are far less important than exterminating the alien races!]
[But before going to the Witch Clan tribe, you are cautious and don't reveal your human identity directly. Instead, you activate the Great Witch Body Tempering Art and transform into a ten-zhang tall giant.]
[Along with altering your appearance, your aura now appears very similar to the Witch Clan.]
[After transforming into a Witch Clan member, you quickly join the battle.]
[You extend your large hand, let out a low shout, and leap beside an alien creature.]
[With a forceful use of both arms, this True God-level Two-Horned Demon is torn in half by you.]
[Although your Qi Refinement cultivation is temporarily sealed, relying solely on your Body Refinement strength, the Great Witch Body Tempering Art… makes these alien creatures no match for you!]
[After your participation, in just half an hour, the entire wave of alien creatures is defeated by you single-handedly.]
[But even so, the casualties in this Witch Clan tribe are heavy.]
[The Witch Clan tribe was already sparsely populated. A tribe with only a hundred or so remaining members is already considered a large tribe among the Witch Clan.]
[In this battle, dozens of elderly, weak, and disabled Witch Clan members perish, leaving only a few dozen behind.]
[After killing those alien creatures, the expected gratitude and thanks don't happen. Instead, the Witch Clan members look at you with fear and don't dare to approach.]
[You are somewhat puzzled but don't say anything.]
[You start a fire and extract the essence of blood and flesh from those alien creatures. You start eating roasted meat right beside the tribe.]
[The enticing aroma quickly spreads throughout the Witch Clan. You watch as many Witch Clan members hide in the shadows, watching your roasted meat with drool.]
[You deliberately pretend to be enjoying the meat, eating with gusto.]
[Soon, a few bold Witch Clan children can no longer resist the temptation and gradually approach you.]
[Seeing this, you don't hesitate and toss them a few pieces of cooked blood and flesh essence.]
[The Witch Clan children's eyes light up immediately. They eagerly grab the roasted meat and start eating.]
[Soon, more and more Witch Clan members come closer.]
[Seeing this, you smirk slightly. While eating the roasted meat, you seemingly casually inquire about the situation.]
[These Witch Clan children are simple-minded and quickly tell you some basic information.]
[The village you are in is one of the Witch Clan's tribes, and this Witch Clan tribe is called Chrome. They worship one of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, Ju Mang.]
[Hearing this, you are moved and ask these young Witch Clan members what timeline they are currently in.]
[But how would these children know?]
[They only say that the Ancestral Witches haven't manifested their divine power for a long time… The relationship between the Witch Clan tribes is getting worse and worse. Their adults go out hunting, but they haven't eaten enough for a long time…]
[Hearing this, you are moved. Just as you are about to continue asking, you suddenly feel a sharp pain in your forehead.]
[Without any hesitation, you exert force with your legs, leaping hundreds of meters away, avoiding the incoming attack.]
In the real world, Su Xing raised his eyebrows upon reading this.
From the text in the simulation, Su Xing had already deduced the timeline of this Time Rewind.
"The Twelve Ancestral Witches haven't manifested their divine power for a long time… Even the young children of the Witch Clan are starving. This is a sign of the Witch Clan's decline!"
Su Xing pondered for a moment. The timeline of this journey was the Ancient Era, close to the Near Ancient Era.
It might only be tens of millions of years ago…
"So, what major events happened in that timeline?"
Su Xing wasn't very familiar with that period.
"Looks like I'll have to look at the major events in the history of the cultivation world when I have time…"
"Also, what was that sudden murderous intent?"
With these questions in mind, Su Xing turned his gaze to the simulation panel.
[You dodged the sudden attack and looked closely. You see a burly man, dozens of zhang tall, with muscles bulging all over his body, walking towards you.]
[This Witch Clan strongman wears a magnificent feather decoration on his head, seemingly holding a high position within the tribe.]
[As a fellow Body Refinement cultivator, you can sense the terrifying power within his physical body. His cultivation is probably no less than a Golden Immortal!]
[Having failed to land a blow, the Witch Clan strongman shows a look of surprise. Then, he leaps again and charges towards you.]
[He unleashes a punch, causing mountains to collapse and rivers to be severed…]
[Seeing this, you raise an eyebrow. After dodging several times, you also become angry and engage in a brawl with this Witch Clan youth.]
[This battle lasts for a full half-day.]
[You deliberately avoid fighting within the tribe and choose the surrounding desolate mountains. The ripples of the battle are still shocking!]
[You are certain that this Witch Clan youth possesses strength comparable to yours.]
[His physical strength alone is close to that of a mid-stage Golden Immortal… similar to your current strength.]
[After fighting with you for half a day, this Witch Clan strongman actually shows a hint of admiration in his eyes.]
[It's said that the Witch Clan is fond of battle, and it's true.]
[At this moment, two elderly Witch Clan members arrive and inform the Witch Clan strongman of what happened in the tribe earlier.]
[After hearing this, the Witch Clan strongman's expression improves, and he no longer harbors any hostility towards you.]
[Instead, he expresses a hint of apology and invites you to drink with him in the tribe, offering his apologies.]
[After thinking for a moment, you agree. Going to this Witch Clan tribe will allow you to learn about the current timeline, so you agree…]
[Soon, you return to the Chrome tribe…]

Chapter 415: Luo Ling'er, the Luo Tian Grandmaster! The Secret of Luo Tian Sect's Founding!
In the real world, Su Xing nodded slightly upon seeing this.
"That Witch Clan giant with the ornate headdress must be the tribe leader of the Chrome Tribe, right?"
"He's in his prime, possessing the combat strength of a mid-stage Golden Immortal. Not bad… but just this strength, compared to the Witch Clan in its heyday, is still far too inferior!"
However, the Witch Clan's belligerent and straightforward nature didn't surprise Su Xing.
"Then let's go to the Chrome Tribe and see what the major event of this Time Rewind is all about?"
Su Xing had a faint guess in his heart, his gaze fixed on the simulation panel.
[Soon, you follow this Chrome Tribe leader back to the tribal village.]
[This Witch Clan giant named "Chrome" feels apologetic for his earlier actions towards you.]
[As soon as you return to the Witch Clan village, you see dozens of adult Witch Clan giants busy at work.]
[Some wield several-zhang long axes, others are starting fires, dragging hundreds of meters long demonic beasts, and cutting up the flesh.]
[The Witch Clan typically survives by hunting demonic beasts. Their powerful physical bodies require them to obtain sufficient energy from the essence of demonic beast flesh.]
[Especially for Witch Clan children in their growth phase. Without enough demonic beast flesh to supplement their bodies, it's difficult for them to grow into powerful Witch Clan warriors.]
[You follow the tribe leader "Chrome" into the interior of the Witch Clan.]
[Large chunks of demonic beast flesh are presented after simple roasting, sprinkled with a special Witch Clan mineral salt. Although lacking in seasonings, the unique deliciousness of the demonic beast flesh still makes your mouth water.]
[Shortly after, several more Witch Clan warriors carry several zhang-tall wine jars and deliver them to you.]
[The Witch Clan loves wine and meat. You saved their tribe and repelled the aliens, earning the highest hospitality from the Witch Clan.]
[After a few rounds of drinking… you chat with this Great Witch named "Chrome".]
[He asks you which tribe you come from and why you've come to the territory of the Chrome Tribe.]
[Your current appearance is that of a Witch Clan giant, so it's understandable that Chrome would have this question.]
[But you can't directly reveal that you are human. So you lie, claiming you come from a distant tribe that was destroyed by an alien invasion and that you have been wandering ever since.]
[Chrome expresses his regret upon hearing your story and doesn't probe further.]
[You chat like this, and during the conversation, you subtly inquire about the current situation.]
[Soon, you learn that you are in the time shortly after the separation of the Upper and Lower Worlds. The Ten Great Domains of the world have just been established, and the place you are in is called the Eastern Domain…]
[In this era, the Witch Clan has completely declined. The remaining Witch Clan tribes mostly have impure bloodlines and their power is far less than before.]
[You continue to ask about the strength of the cultivation world…]
[Chrome replies that he hasn't heard of the Descending Sect and doesn't know about the so-called Luo Tian Sect and Qingyun Sect… But when you ask about the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, Chrome says that he has heard of it. It seems there is an organization called the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion among humans.]
[You ponder this information and then ask about several human powerhouses you know.]
[Until you mention the White Emperor, Chrome says that he has vaguely heard of a powerful figure named White Emperor who achieved the Taiyi Golden Immortal Dao Fruit several thousand years ago…]
In the real world, Su Xing took a deep breath after reading this.
At this point, he understood the timeline he had rewound to.
"The Upper and Lower Worlds have just separated, the Luo Tian Sect and Qingyun Sect haven't been established yet… The White Emperor has just reached the Taiyi realm!"
"This timeline is indeed tens of millions of years ago…"
So, what major event happened at this point in time?
Su Xing thought for a moment. A guess flickered in his mind, but he couldn't articulate it.
He could only continue to look at the simulation panel.
[After hearing Chrome's words, you gain some understanding of the general timeline…]
[Just as you are about to continue asking, you suddenly sense intense battle sounds outside the tribe.]
[You and Chrome exchange glances and rise to your feet at the same time, heading towards the outside of the tribe.]
[With your incredible eyesight, you see a human woman in a light blue dress fleeing in the high sky. Her black hair is wet with sweat, and she looks somewhat dishevelled.]
[Behind her is a terrifying alien deity, whose strength is roughly at the peak of the Golden Immortal realm.]
[The woman only possesses early-stage Golden Immortal cultivation and is clearly outmatched… but she occasionally counterattacks using the mysterious fluctuations around her body.]
[Upon seeing the situation of the battle, Chrome frowns slightly and looks at you, seemingly asking if you want to help the human woman.]
[You are captivated by the woman's battle techniques. The mysterious fluctuations are clearly a Spirit Domain…]
[No, a Spirit World!]
[This human Golden Immortal woman's control over the Spirit Domain is terrifying, reaching the level of the Spirit World… This is almost impossible to achieve at the early-stage Golden Immortal realm.]
[It is precisely by relying on her control of the Spirit Domain that the woman, with her early-stage Golden Immortal cultivation, can contend against a peak-level Second-Rank Deity alien.]
[You only think for a moment before leaping into the air and attacking the alien deity in the sky.]
[Chrome smiles slightly upon seeing this and quickly joins the battle.]
[With three against one, even though your strength is limited to Body Refinement cultivation, with the help of two Golden Immortals, you still have the upper hand.]
[This battle lasts for three whole days, and finally, the alien deity is slain by you.]
[Although it's three against one, all three of you suffer varying degrees of injuries. Witch Chrome's left arm is severed at the root, but thanks to the Witch Clan's terrifying regenerative ability, it will regrow in a few days.]
[You also sustain a deep wound on your chest, but it's not serious.]
[Just as you are about to ask about the woman's identity… the woman suddenly experiences a surge of instability and falls from the sky.]
[Fortunately, you are quick-witted and catch her in time, bringing her back to the Witch Clan village.]
[After several days, with the help of Witch Clan herbs, the woman successfully wakes up, but she still looks at you with caution…]
[Despite sharing hardships and slaying the alien deity, the relationship between the Witch Clan and humans isn't harmonious in this timeline.]
[The woman cautiously looks at you both a few times, thanks you, and prepares to leave.]
[But as soon as she stands up, her legs buckle, and she falls weakly to the ground.]
[Being chased by the alien deity earlier, this human woman has suffered severe injuries and her vital energy and spirit are severely depleted.]
[Even the Three Flowers on her head seem to be in danger of dissipating…]
[With no other choice, the woman has to recuperate in the Witch Clan tribe.]
[Over the next few years, this human woman recovers in the tribe, while you and Great Witch Chrome go hunting in the mountains outside the tribe.]
[You become familiar with each other and gradually become friends…]
[During these years of interaction, you also learn the woman's identity.]
[This human woman's name is Luo Ling'er. She is an independent cultivator who has not joined any sect. After condensing the Three Flowers on her head, she plans to travel through the Ten Great Domains to seek a breakthrough…]
In the real world, Su Xing carefully pondered this information.
"Luo Ling'er? Is there such a powerhouse in the current timeline?"
Su Xing has never heard of her.
"It seems this woman probably didn't live to this era…"
Su Xing shook his head slightly. That's how time works.
Even the most brilliant geniuses can be swallowed by the river of time.
Luo Ling'er, being able to contend against a peak-level Golden Immortal alien deity with early-stage Golden Immortal cultivation, is considered a genius.
But she didn't live to the present…
"I wonder what the chance encounter of this simulation is all about?"
Su Xing was curious.
The introduction of the Time Rewind function mentioned that it would involve Su Xing in a major event.
But judging from the current situation, the Witch Clan tribe being attacked shouldn't be considered a major event, right?
"Perhaps there will be a different development later?"
Thinking this, Su Xing looked at the simulation panel.
[Luo Ling'er's injuries finally heal, and it's time for her to leave.]
[Before leaving, Luo Ling'er invites you both to travel to more distant places.]
[Hearing Luo Ling'er's words, you hesitate for a moment. However, you didn't expect Great Witch Chrome to agree first.]
[It turns out that alien invasions have become increasingly frequent in recent years. The Chrome tribe has many elderly and weak members, and the demonic beasts in the mountains are becoming scarcer.]
[Therefore, Chrome intends to relocate the entire tribe to find a more suitable place to rebuild their home…]
[Seeing Chrome say this, you have no reason to object.]
[So, the three of you, along with the hundreds of Witch Clan members of the Chrome tribe, set off to find a more suitable home.]
[In the blink of an eye, ten years have passed…]
[During ten years of travel, the three of you have forged a deep friendship.]
[But at this moment, an accident occurs…]
[Although Luo Ling'er is an independent cultivator who hasn't joined any sect, she comes from a cultivation family.]
[Currently, Luo Ling'er receives a message that her Luo family has suffered a devastating annihilation. Thousands of people have been killed, and only a few dozen have managed to escape, but they are being hunted…]
[Under these circumstances, Luo Ling'er has no choice but to return to rescue her family.]
[So she prepares to bid farewell to you both…]
[But you are not at ease with Luo Ling'er going back alone, so you temporarily part ways with Chrome and agree to meet at a designated location in three years.]
[You accompany Luo Ling'er to the location where her family members are hiding. Not long after, you encounter the hostile forces who are hunting them.]
[Without much effort, you kill all the pursuers… but you learn shocking news.]
[The largest human cultivation sect in the Eastern Domain has secretly colluded with alien races and plans to offer human sacrifices. Luo Ling'er's family accidentally discovered this and was subsequently hunted down.]
[After learning the situation, you realize that you can't fight against them with your own strength. After all, the largest sect in the Eastern Domain has Da Luo Golden Immortals!]
[So, you and Luo Ling'er escort the remaining members of the Luo family to reunite with the Chrome tribe…]
[Three years later, you successfully reunite.]
[The Witch Clan tribe has not encountered any accidents, but you are somewhat uncertain about what to do next.]
[The largest sect in the Eastern Domain, the invasion of alien races, even Golden Immortals can hardly stay out of this turmoil.]
[What's more, the Luo family and the Witch Clan tribe still have the elderly and weak to take care of…]
[At this time, Luo Ling'er approaches you and Chrome. She tells you that during her early travels, she discovered a hidden secret realm cave heaven.]
[This secret realm cave heaven is not only hidden but also extremely large. The resources within are enough for the Luo family and the Witch Clan tribe to live together…]
[The only problem is that this secret realm seems to have originated from the ancient times and is extremely dangerous. With her strength alone, she can't explore it.]
[After hearing this, you ponder for a moment. Soon, the three of you make a decision to explore this secret realm together!]
In the real world, Su Xing finally confirmed the major event he was involved in after reading this!
"Luo Ling'er… the Witch Clan tribe, together going to a secret realm to seek refuge, so will they eventually establish a new force?"
"Then, the name of this force is self-evident… Luo Tian Sect!"
Su Xing took a deep breath. He never expected that the time point he had rewound to was actually before the founding of the Luo Tian Sect!
Moreover, he happened to meet the two founders of the Luo Tian Sect!
"Oh no… in this timeline, maybe I'm the third founder?"
Su Xing scratched his head, feeling a bit bewildered.
The Luo family happens to be one of the major factions within the Luo Tian Sect.
Coupled with the participation of the Witch Clan…
Su Xing was 90% certain that Luo Ling'er… was the Luo Tian Grandmaster!
"Hiss… no wonder she comprehended the Spirit World at just the early-stage Golden Immortal realm… only the Luo Tian Grandmaster could achieve that!"
Su Xing's eyes flashed with unusual brilliance.
Now that he knew the time point he had travelled to and the major event he was about to encounter.
Then Su Xing knew what he should do next.
"So, the key is still this secret realm?"
"This secret realm should be the location where the Luo Tian Sect was founded, right?"
"The foundation of the Luo Tian Sect is one of the Three Great Chaos Treasures, the Luo Tian Mirror."
"But in the simulation, Luo Ling'er doesn't seem to have obtained the Luo Tian Mirror… so is the Luo Tian Mirror within this secret realm?"
Thinking of this, Su Xing became interested in the subsequent development of the secret realm.
He turned his gaze back to the simulation panel.
[Soon, under Luo Ling'er's lead, you head towards the secret realm she explored earlier.]
[Stepping into the secret realm, you feel like you've entered a completely new world.]
[The scenery is picturesque, with fawns darting through the forest, and birds singing everywhere…]
[What surprises you even more is that there are streams formed by spiritual liquid flowing through the forest.]
[The spiritual energy in the air is several times that of the outside world, vaguely reaching the level of a high-grade blessed land!]
[Seeing your shock, Luo Ling'er explains that she previously explored this place and suspects that it's a fragment of a world from the Upper World in ancient times.]
[Over time, it gradually transformed into the secret realm it is today.]
[You nod slightly. Only the Upper World could have such a spiritually rich place.]
[Since the destruction of the Upper World, the spiritual energy of the world has been dwindling. This secret realm is definitely the target of major forces.]
[Fortunately, neither the Luo family nor the Witch Clan members have any intention of leaving this secret realm after arriving.]
[There are many hostile forces pursuing them in the outside world. Only this land is a safe haven…]
[…]
[A year later, after the Luo family and the Witch Clan tribe have settled in temporarily.]
[Luo Ling'er finds you and Chrome. She has discovered a hidden ancient palace deep within the secret realm, and it seems that a treasure is about to appear…]
