Chapter 118

The primordial era never counts years...

Ancestor Phoenix

True Immortal, Heavenly Immortal

five-colored tail feathers, hundred birds facing the phoenix

You, who were cultivating with closed eyes, were also startled by this, involuntarily interrupting your practice, raising your head to gaze at this familiar sight of 'hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix,' feeling countless emotions in your heart.

Recalling the last time you experienced this, you too, under the sway of instinct, followed the hundred birds in paying homage to the phoenix, ultimately, due to the Ancestor Phoenix's ill intentions, embarking on a mistaken life……

Now, having been reborn, you naturally will not repeat the same mistake; as for this scene of hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix, you might as well not go!

No matter how you think about it, this is also impossible.

Their contact continued in a peaceful state...

So, what is your choice?

Three Clans, quasi-saints, Grand Luo Golden Immortal

you who are settling

You begin to settle

The third stage of the Immortal Dao: Mystic Immortal!

Can Jiaoming cultivate faster than the Three Ancestors?

Now continue.

【13】 no.

Mystic Immortal

【15】 we already covered.

no.

You, overwhelmed with myriad feelings, slowly came to your senses, then felt the strange and inward-restraining magical power within your body—the fruit of your arduous cultivation.

no.

But you were not satisfied, so you continued to precipitate……

Seeing this bird brother actually ask a question, Zhao Si was momentarily flattered and startled……

no.

His name is Luo Hou!

Three Ancestors, Hongjun

You very much wanted to rush out to stop all this, but…… your strength is insufficient!

Three Clan War, Ancestor Phoenix

This second-generation phoenix species felt regretful about this, yet did not insist, and moreover, to show respect for you, it also allotted the surrounding vast area to you, to serve as a dojo fief.

The fire of civilization blazes fiercely upon the savage dry kindling……

no.

Golden Immortal

Jinbing

Zhaosi

no.

It's a pity that this unrestrained little bird never gives an opportunity.

Given the nature of the simulation game, even if you wanted to let Jiao Ming linger, he would surely not be able to, inevitably being swept up in the tide of the times……

no.

Then, this panicked second-generation phoenix species uttered a name that made your heart tighten.

Taking Jin Bing's three simulations as an example, on the surface the goal of the simulation is to let this little flood dragon Jin Bing live forever.

You are fully aware of this tragedy unfolding; the wails and tears of all beings also manifest in your mind…… Even though in this life you have not participated in these persecutions, you still feel anguish: having been reborn, why must you still merely sit and watch all this?

Jiaoming, Ten Mile Slope Sword God

Three Ancestors

no.

Grand Luo Golden Immortal

However, he soon began to seriously consider countermeasures:

Jiaoming

What is Jiaoming's background?

A postnatal little bird with no foundation, even if reborn for one lifetime, can at most be a Taiyi Golden Immortal; before the Three Ancestors, it is basically a joke.

One day, a second-generation phoenix species came to this small volcano, loudly proclaiming that this place was now its territory!

The power of the phoenix clan expands rapidly; wherever it passes, all birds are bestowed with blood and awakened intelligence, then reduced to slaves, while other species are basically slaughtered to extinction!

After who knows how many years and months, you finally, through infinite arduous cultivation, transcended the shackles of your past life; five qi gathered in your chest, essence, qi, and spirit condensed into three flowers, the three flowers blooming atop the five qi, intertwining and evolving into myriad wondrous changes—truly beyond description!

But upon careful thought, Jin Bing is fundamentally not an individual; his fate is bound up with the great era, personal survival and death never really mattered; the purpose of the simulation is to let the two demon-human peoples he represents truly walk toward equal coexistence!

Demon Race and Human Race

Jinbing

Could it be that the goal of this round of the simulation game is to let an old bird of the three‑clan era seek profit along the established historical line—listen to the Dao, take a master, become a sage, and finally merge into the tide of history?

But soon you won't need to hesitate, for the second‑generation phoenix species occupying this place suddenly came to visit you, anxiously begging you, this reclusive master, to save its life!

"Jiao Ming likewise should be the same; he is surely not merely an ordinary bird…… his identity also represents a microcosm of some great era background, so letting only him survive has no substantive meaning."

But having already suffered losses at the hands of the phoenix clan in your past life, you naturally will not repeat the mistake this life, and thus you firmly refused the invitation to join.

You feel somewhat hesitant; reason tells you you should continue to precipitate, awaiting a useful body. But sensibility also tells you……

In your past life, the powerful beings you knew at this realm were only the Three Ancestors, Luo Hu, and Hongjun—just a few; now you too have fortunately become one of them, showing how high your achievements are in this life!

This problem…… is clearly not acceptable!

"But…… does this truly meet the goal of the simulation game?"

You frowned; you hadn't wanted to get involved, but after all this second‑generation phoenix clansman was a good friend of yours in your past life and treats you well in this one, so out of regard for the friendship of two lifetimes you could also lend a hand to help.

You are very clear about how high the Three Ancestors' cultivation is; although you are now stronger than in your previous life, you are still a novice before the Three Ancestors!

After many more years, you finally returned to the peak of your previous life, attaining Taiyi Golden Immortal!

Isn't this exactly what I wanted?!

Moreover, Zhao Si also had some speculation in his heart:

Zhao Si's heart stirred:

All along, you have been thinking of letting Jiao Ming survive the Three Clans Great War, wait for Rahu to defeat the Three Ancestors, then Hongjun defeat Rahu, and finally, when Hongjun attains sainthood and preaches the Dao, you would let Jiao Ming go become a disciple, and so on.

But now, if you let Jiao Ming continue to survive like this, it wouldn't be impossible to fulfill your wish……

A: Continue to cultivate, wait until you have mastered the Ten Li Slope Sword God, then come as a heavenly god descending to earth, one hammer three, and fiercely beat the Three Ancestors' old ancestors until they kneel! B: Emulate the Three Ancestors, model after their methods to build a great power, thereby preventing the future great war!

Jiao Ming: ……

Even if he truly survived the Three Clans Great War, survived to the era of witches and goblins, even became Hongjun's disciple, cultivated to immortality and attained sainthood, the simulation that should be judged a failure would still be judged a failure……

The phoenixes' arrival has come; this signifies that the Phoenix Clan's large-scale expansion is about to begin, and the other two clans will also simultaneously take the stage… The first civilized era in the history of the Wasteland will arrive soon!

Although you are no longer participating, the Phoenix Clan's expansion proceeds unaffected; the great tide of historical development does not change with your personal presence or absence.

"Who is the enemy?"

At the same time, you also inevitably face a life choice.

The cultivation of a Mystic Immortal is naturally far inferior to that of a Taiyi Golden Immortal, but forced by your own ordinary bloodline and aptitude, you can only temporarily remain at this level……

You chose option A, continue to cultivate, wait until you have mastered the Ten Li Slope Sword God, then come as a heavenly god descending to earth, one hammer three, and fiercely beat the Three Ancestors' old ancestors until they kneel!

Faced with the vast disparity in strength, even if you harbor ambition, you can only focus on cultivation……

In cultivation……

Is it still timely to cut now?!
