Chapter 44

Zhao Si understood.

However, having understood is having understood, but its practical effect is not great now, because merit is a setting attached to the cultivation system; even if he has a lot of merit, without cultivating, it also doesn't mean much.

"So, is there any cultivation method?"

Relying on the Saint's Dao Fruit as an automatic translator, Zhao Si eagerly asked the Primordial Fragment.

【Fragment: (no response)】

Obviously, this question is still too advanced for the Primordial Fragment, which only has a bit of instinct……

Zhao Si: ……

This supremely just war, aimed at overthrowing the brutal Heavenly Court, ultimately ended in the Demon Race's complete victory, given absolute strength!

The old Heavenly Court was overthrown, but a new Heavenly Court will be rebuilt; the new Heavenly Court will no longer be ruled by arrogant humans, nor will it retain the extremist, fanatical human-supremacist ideology passed down from the false emperor Jin Bing.

However, the Saint's Dao Fruit had some response to this:

The human court collapsed, and the supreme demons were also utterly exterminated; although some scattered humans still exist in the world, such as the Ren Sect's Xuandu, and some disciples of other saintly great teachings, as well as a small number of human scattered immortals who chose seclusion due to disliking the extreme human-centric ideology.

The remaining Xuandu and others also cannot possibly reproduce on a large scale; physiologically, the human lineage is essentially cut off.

It's a waste of talent; you should go be the Great Western King.

【Kill Kill Kill!】

Zhao Si clung to his last hope, eagerly looking at the award certificate he had first received as a gift:

……

Zhao Si: ……

"Do you know where there are cultivation methods?"

【I don't know!】

"A bunch of idiots, what's the use of asking you!"

Zhao Si's eyes lit up; the usage standard for this dragon blood is too high, and the ancestral dragon inheritance technique inscribed within is an old thing only practicable by orthodox Azure Dragons—overall, it's a 'chicken rib': tasteless to eat, a pity to discard.

Unexpectedly, here it might actually be somewhat useful.

Who doesn't have a dream of flying on a sword to become an immortal?

Seeing that he possessed the power to change the world, he had long wanted to release his supernatural power outward to experience the strange sensation of the cultivation world!

But Zhao Si is clear-headed; from the start he dared not release supernatural power in the real world, especially spiritual energy, for once it appears, it's not a good plot for a 'spiritual energy revival' genre.

Everyone looked forward to the future, passionately rebuilding their homes.

The remaining Golden Crow fire, dragon blood, and award certificate—these three are low grade and low in spirituality, always dull, only obeying the master's commands.

Some serve as 'personal storage spaces', some as 'apocalypse survival bases', some as 'farming stream spaces'……

As for himself, he went out intending to make a concrete plan for developing the Primordial Fragment, carefully considering how to utilize this hard‑earned origin‑level gift……

As for what it will ultimately become, that depends on how the 'Holy Emperor' of the Heaven Beyond Heaven intends to govern the myriad races.

With spiritual energy, an individual's strength and productivity can far exceed that of the group; then the group loses its meaning, and the existing social system built on collective strength will completely collapse.

Completely feasible! At least we can give it a try!

Having made up his mind, Zhao Si simply left the Saint's Dao Fruit in the Primordial Fragment to keep producing spiritual energy; after all, the spiritual energy created is still his, and the merit gained is also his—it's like getting benefits either way, he's raking it in!

In short, in the ages to come without humanity, it will be a relatively beautiful future Primordial……

【Dragon Blood: ……】

But this doesn't mean his earlier ideas can't be used.

The new Heavenly Court will belong to the Demon Race, representing the Demon Race's 'super‑race consciousness concept' forged through endless wars, which will truly penetrate demon hearts.

But humanity, as an independent large‑scale ethnic force in the Primordial, has indeed completely ceased to exist!

What it manifests can even communicate fully with Zhao Si, and it also shows a certain arrogance toward other low‑grade gifts.

However you look at it, the binding strength of the simulation game to oneself and the gifts is trustworthy!

"So, what should I do next?"

Although he never thought of using this to farm merit, now it can only be called an unexpected joy.

As for the Immortal‑Slaying Sword……

"But what if I establish a cultivation world entirely my own on this Primordial Fragment?"

"What about the shattered fragments that blew up…… are they okay?"

"Soar!"

Zhao Si: ……

Next, Zhao Si turned his attention to his several gifts:

These items usually show no trace of spirituality in reality, but upon arriving at the Primordial Fragment they each possess a degree of spirituality.

With some simple communication, they respond; this is likely their original state, after all they are divine objects of the Primordial, and their previous lifeless state was clearly due to suppression by reality.

Meanwhile, in the distant Primordial heavens and earth, after just enduring a prolonged demon‑human war and the Heavenly Dao's demon‑calamity tribulation, the traumatized survivors began rebuilding their homes turned into ruins.

To be honest, when he first obtained this Primordial Fragment, Zhao Si had many ideas for its use:

This is certainly not a naive conclusion that can be summed up by comparing how fast humans and animals cultivate; because before humans and animals were opposed, humans themselves would already be slaughtering each other in rivers of blood……

These wondrous items originating from the Primordial, upon returning to the Primordial environment, seem to have undergone certain changes; their spirituality hardly shows in reality, but here they possess some spirituality.

The dragon blood trembled, then soared into the air:

"Such a vast expanse of land, if not developed and built upon, would truly be a waste."

Zhao Si sighed helplessly; it seems that if he wants to cultivate, he'll still have to look to future simulated gifts.

And high above the heavens, in the Heaven Beyond Heaven, inside an ancient palace, the old daoist in purple robes sitting withered suddenly opened his eyes; his gaze, which should have been still as an ancient well, now showed confusion.

The highest among them is naturally the Saint's Dao Fruit; as the origin of the Heavenly Dao's saint, it having spirituality is quite normal—given its high rank, lacking spirituality would be abnormal.

【Kill Kill Kill!】

Looking at the Immortal-Slaying Sword that kept going crazy, Zhao Si was certain it was just a lunatic!

As for whether they would be harmful to himself, Zhao Si still had confidence in that regard—not self-confidence, but trust in others; Zhao Si believed the strength of the simulation game could pull them from the Primordial into reality, and even kick the cross‑world Nüwa Saint flying with one kick.

【Certificate: Study hard, make progress every day.】

Zhao Si looked up and saw the utter devastation on this fragment of the Primordial, and made a decision in his heart:

"I have to build this place up!"

The Immortal-Slaying Sword trembled:

【Dao Fruit: Ask it (referring to the dragon blood)】

Everyone was both grieving and relieved:

No matter how you say it, in the end we eradicated the vicious human race that went against the great trend, and killed the tyrannical false emperor of the Ren clan who had committed countless evils.

"And you?"

Zhao Si's eyes showed joy.

Rolling his eyes, Zhao Si stopped looking at it and turned his head to the other two gifts:

"And you two?"

"What's more, with this place, my dream of the Cultivation World can finally be realized!"

……

(Oh dear, too many readers say I'm poisoning them; I admit this part has problems, but I will definitely not deviate from the main line of simulating the Primordial—unable to resist, I added a few hundred words, consider it an early spoiler of tomorrow's plot... (*))
