Chapter 105: Four-Round Simulation

Jin Bing died.

From now on, in the hearts of the Demon Race of the Second Cycle Primordial Wasteland, this evil-doing, slaughtering masses Human Court false emperor truly nailed his coffin shut, never to return……

This is naturally cause for celebration, having ended the false emperor who was barely surviving in the Primordial Wasteland fragments; the demon race joyfully surrounded the "little hero", praising his deeds that will shine in history!

The little hero then scratched his head in embarrassment, smiling, and afterwards burned the false emperor's corpse to nothing with the seized Golden Crow Fire.

After doing all this, the nameless little hero who does good deeds solemnly bade farewell to everyone, saying his mission was complete and it was time to return and report back, and so on.

Having said that, his entire person vanished into thin air, prompting the demons to exclaim in admiration:

"I really don't know which master this righteous warrior serves under to possess such a magical treasure... perhaps it's an innate spiritual treasure?"

"Who cares!"

Some demons kept cursing:

【……】

……

"This thing, I'll have to personally deal with it……"

"This round I didn't just clear the 【Human Slaughter Incident】; honestly, I've cleared all subsequent plots of the Primordial Wasteland—Witch and Demon, Investiture of the Gods, Journey to the West… all gone. What map should you give me to switch to?"

So, they initially came here merely to be tossed in by the Dao Ancestor to scout the way, not with malicious intent to invade.

【Ding! Update complete!】

After a burst of inexplicable emotion, Zhao Si took a step forward.

To help "another self" resolve troubles, and also to untie a knot from his past life, Jin Bing chose self-sacrifice:

"At last I've slain this false emperor; it's time to return and report back."

【The Golden Heaven Emperor is reviewing memorials……】

This is the greatest gain Jin Bing brought him this time:

"Authentic Immortal Arts!"

Zhao Si sighed, then curiously clicked into the new chapter:

【Ding! You have cleared the previous chapter, so this chapter can obtain system benefits; you may choose any of the following options as your starting identity!】

Zhao Si's face showed delight:

The three simulations of the previous chapter all used Jin Bing, an unnamed little flood dragon of the Second-Rank Dragon Clan of the Eastern Sea, as the starting identity; because the starting point was too low, early on he died a lot while scouting the way.

"After many twists and turns, I've finally reclaimed this Primordial Tier Grand Prize."

"Exactly, this is a cultivation technique Jin Bing specially selected for him!"

"Start training!"

"Of course, it's not completely free, because……"

Zhao Si curiously asked.

"Just in time! Looks like my timing is pretty good……"

"If he hadn't prematurely revealed the false emperor's signature Golden Crow Fire, leading the demons to mistakenly think 'Jin Bing' wasn't dead, they wouldn't have paid him any special attention at all."

【A: An old tree on a certain mountain in the East Wasteland. B: A stubborn stone on a certain mountain in the West Wasteland. C: A water turtle in a certain body of water in the North Wasteland. D: A small bird beneath a certain volcano in the South Wasteland.】

【Ding!】

"Tch! Still being mysterious!"

Therefore, to solve the demon race invasion problem, there's no need to actually fight them off with real weapons; it's enough to let them see the scene of "Jin Bing being killed," after which they naturally have no reason to stay.

Zhao Si pursed his lips, then carefully held his phone to study it:

"Jin Bing's available time is still too short; otherwise, after today's update, I could take him out for a stroll and a bite to eat……"

"This isn't because his mindset is bad, but because the hard‑won Primordial Tier Grand Prize has fallen into enemy hands, which would affect anyone's mentality."

Zhao Si curiously asked.

【Therefore, starting from this round's simulation, it will no longer be the "Demon Race Human Slaughter Incident" chapter centered on Jin Bing as the main perspective, and the in‑game mechanics will also be partially changed……】

"Alright, the days of endless fighting are over; Jin Bing's daily routine as the Heavenly Emperor has become all overtime and lecturing Xuan Du……"

Next day.

The reason he later chose to settle here long‑term and even shout 'beat up' and 'kill' at a possible 'Jin Bing' is actually Zhao Si's own issue.

You want to see me die? Then I'll die for you to watch!

Thus, this is how he and Zhao Si came to jointly perform this double act……

Zhao Si first clicked into the "Human Slaughter Incident" chapter:

【The system avoids spoilers; specifics, players will know after opening a round themselves.】

After sighing, Zhao Si rose, opened the long‑closed rental‑house door, intending to go out for a bite to eat; although he could already fast thanks to spiritual energy, eating is still a pleasure……

After a full day of Qi cultivation, Zhao Si woke from bed, sensed his growing magical power, and couldn't help but feel satisfied.

Zhao Si blinked, wondering if previous updates weren't all triggered by obtaining some high‑level reward in the game.

"Oh? Does that mean clearing the game swaps the map?"

After a long while, the "little hero" who had just displayed great divine power suddenly returned to his original spot.

"Really can't make sense of this bizarre mechanism, Zhao Si could only go with the flow, though he also sighed a bit:"

"All of the above is naturally another idea Jin Bing gave him:"

Although this Primordial Wasteland fragment is high‑level, there's actually nothing good up there—spiritual energy is pitifully scarce; any sane demon would not abandon the rich Primordial Wasteland to take root in this god‑forsaken place.

And the enemy has always been an unstoppable mechanical deity—the Heavenly Court, the Heavenly Emperor, sages, the Heavenly Dao, each more heaven‑defying than the last!

By the time Jin Bing leverages the information advantage and truly exerts himself, it's already the second playthrough, and achieving the true ending means going into the third playthrough!

In short, his background makes his starting point agonizingly difficult.

Just as Zhao Si woke up, his phone timely chimed; curious, he picked it up to look:

【The system detects that the player has officially entered the gate of cultivation; the system will undergo an update, after which some new functions will be added. Estimated update time is twenty-four hours. During the update, players may go out and arrange their free time as they wish……】

Thinking of Jin Bing, who had just turned to ashes, Zhao Si let out a sigh:

Lao Bing, you died well……

"Come on, what did this update add?"

But now it's fine, they've all left.

Zhao Si, full of spirit and energy, picked up his phone and asked with interest:

Zhao Si looked up at the sky; the gorgeous purple light, like an aurora, still remained, indicating that the Primordial Fragment remained in the state of being invaded by the Heavenly Dao of Hongjun from the Second Primordial.

"Let's go, let's go, let's go……"

"Huh? Another update?"

By the time Zhao Si opened his eyes again, he had already succeeded in Qi cultivation!

Although still far from the standard to become an immortal, it counts as officially leaving the mortal level.

Now being able to choose for oneself is fantastic!

"What are the options?"

Zhao Si sighed emotionally:

Although this Primordial Fragment is of little value to the Primordial Demon Race, for me it is an excellent private space where I can do whatever I want, far freer than in the real world.

A group of cursing Demon Race members hurriedly retraced their steps along the purple light they had come by; soon, there was hardly any living thing left on the Primordial Fragment……

Zhao Si looked at the empty four directions, devoid of demons, and involuntarily breathed a sigh of relief; the heart ailment caused since the Primordial invasion immediately eased.

Returning to his real-world rental, the elated Zhao Si finally could not wait to produce a thick stack of pages, all written in demon script, each character exuding a sense of propriety and solemnity.

If one were to change maps, without considering parallel worlds, one could probably only switch to "White Lady Flooding Golden Mountain" or even "Shu Mountain Sword Immortal era," those forcibly stitched‑together mess of plots in the Primordial system!

The Little Flood Dragon itself is of low quality, the help its family can provide is pitifully little—mother shows no affection in various ways, father keeps cutting him off in various ways; although he has many brothers and sisters, they are many but useless.

The game interface now has two boxes; one reads "Demon Race human‑killing incident," marked with the words "perfectly cleared."

【Ding! Since the player, controlling the protagonist Jin Bing, achieved a perfect ending, Jin Bing will no longer die; moreover, the player has entered the path of cultivation, so the system determines that you now have sufficient qualifications to enter the next chapter.】

Zhao Si, who had long been unable to resist the temptation of immortal arts, immediately began training, holding his breath and focusing, absorbing innate spiritual energy into his body according to the method; before long he entered the state……

【The Golden Heaven Emperor is reviewing memorials……】

The other is completely blank, bearing only the three words "New Chapter."

Outside the door the world is already night; beneath the night‑fall, the city has a dream‑like, illusory beauty.

Zhao Si, who hadn't gone out to look at the sky for a long time, gazed at the modern bustling lights, then recalled having personally seen the Third‑Generation Heavenly Emperor Jin Bing and the Second‑Generation Primordial Demon Race, and inevitably felt a sense of time‑space disorder.

"How come this time I've started cultivating and can also trigger an update?"

……

Anyway, the Primordial plot left for Zhao Si is running out……

Cultivation knows no passage of time.

"Right, right! Let's hurry out, this dump has nothing—spiritual energy is too thin; after staying a few days, I feel my cultivation is stuck……"

"Finally we're leaving!"

"Oh? You can choose your starting identity?!"

Eating and drinking, then returning home to practice immortal arts—the process need not be elaborated……

【The Golden Heaven Emperor is admonishing Xuan Du……】

"That counts as peaceful times, huh."

This makes Zhao Si curious: with the Six Holy Gods having selected the Golden Heaven Emperor to reign, the original plot's Witch‑Demon Calamity is gone, and the Investiture of the Gods War and Journey to the West have no basis to exist.

【You choose: (?)】
