In a simulated life scenario, how do you defy fate and change your destiny every time?

Worry-free city.

While Lu Yuan was in seclusion to simulate the process, several months had passed in the outside world.

Fortunately, Jiangcheng is a remote place, and with the ritual array and the presence of three Fiery Sun Overlords, no one dares to invade for the time being.

"Squeak~"

Lu Yuan pushed open the door and went outside the room.

When he looked up at the gray sky outside, he felt as if he had been transported to another world.

Every experience in The Sims is so realistic, it's no different from living a second life.

Some simulator users even become so deeply involved that they experience various symptoms such as emotional instability or demonic possession.

However, Lu Yuan is now a powerful general who has condensed an immortal true spirit, making his divine soul extremely powerful.

He was only distracted for a moment before quickly readjusting to everything in the main world.

"Activate the Gate of All Realms first, then deal with the troublesome Blood God Church."

"The titles bestowed by the will of the heavens may also attract the attention and prying of many interested parties."

"Once we've dealt with these matters and gotten Worry-Free City back on track, we can conduct the next simulation."

Lu Yuan muttered to himself, having formed a rough plan in his mind.

As his strength increased, he also came to understand the importance of Worry-Free City more and more.

The power and authority of the will of the heavens come from the will of billions of worlds.

Ultimately, the power of these world wills originates from the masses of ordinary people.

Without a sufficient population and living beings, even without the invasion of the dark source, this world will gradually wither and decay, eventually falling into eternal silence.

It can be said.

Everything is related to population!

Gradually, sand accumulates to form mountains; gradually, water accumulates to form deep pools.

If we compare the hierarchical main world to a pyramid.

As the pinnacle of the heavens, the will of the heavens will transmit the pressure it bears layer by layer downwards, distributing it to everyone.

While mortals may be insignificant, they are the foundation stones that form the base of the pyramids.

Without a large population to help share the pressure, all the simulators will fall into a vicious cycle of endless involution.

After all, if ordinary people weren't there to serve as laborers, those low-level simulators would have to do it themselves.

Therefore.

The will of the heavens is willing to risk weakening its power in order to share some of the authority of the lower worlds with those powerful kings or ancient emperors.

This was intended to encourage them to continuously expand their territory and increase their population.

The more inhabitants a territory has, the greater its authority, and the more privileges and treatment it can receive from the will of the heavens.

"The myriad realms may seem vast and boundless, but the birth of each supreme powerhouse requires unimaginable resources."

Lu Yuan pondered.

Just like the mystical realm he simulated before.

To become a Dao Ancestor, one must refine countless ancient laws and a portion of the Heavenly Dao's authority.

Once one achieves enlightenment, they monopolize most of the cultivation resources, effectively cutting off the path for all those who follow.

If we want to go even further, it might not be enough to drain the entire Xuan Realm dry.

This is only a Dao Ancestor; what about a stronger being at an even higher level?

Wouldn't that require even more resources?

If we reach the end.

Could this lead to one person attaining enlightenment while all the heavens perish?

Lu Yuan pondered this deeply and was filled with dread, vaguely understanding the fundamental contradiction between the will of the heavens and the origin of darkness.

The will of the heavens takes every possible approach to expand the pie when resources are scarce.

The way the Dark Source works is quite simple.

kill!

Since resources are insufficient, then we will feed on all living beings.

Devour everything, harvest everything, plunder everything.

He stole the last vestige of life from all the heavens and myriad realms, all for the sake of achieving the Great Dao for one person!
Moreover, destruction is always easier than creation.

This way.

Under the corrosive influence of the dark origin, the power of the will of the heavens will only continue to decline until it is completely swallowed by darkness.

"Darkness will never be extinguished, the heavens will never be silent, and death will be the final destination of all living beings."

Lu Yuan felt heavy-hearted.

However, all of this is still too far away for him, and no matter how much he worries, it's useless. He can only expand the scale of Worry-Free City as soon as possible.

It was at this time.

A beautiful woman saw Lu Yuan, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she immediately ran over in surprise.

"Master, are you back?"

It's been a while since I last saw her, and Wuxin's fashion sense has improved quite a bit.

She has a tall and voluptuous figure, and even when she's casually wearing a cartoon T-shirt and blue jeans, her curvaceous figure is on full display.

What's even more eye-catching is that she's wearing a pair of crystal high heels, which makes her already round and taut thighs appear even longer.

"You just got back. How's the situation in Worry-Free City?"

Lu Yuan asked casually.

"While you were away, Master, I purchased a large number of slaves through the simulated store, and the population has now exceeded 50 million."

"In addition, two weapon-refining production lines and three pill-making production lines have been put into operation, and can produce 10,000 first-grade weapons and 30,000 first-grade pills every day."

"All the spirit fields have been planted with spirit rice, which can be harvested three times a year, producing a total of 150,000 tons of spirit rice!"

"Two more large simulator academies have been completed. If there are enough students, they can probably train 100,000 simulators every year!"

Without any intention of speaking freely, he reported in detail.

Lu Yuan nodded, satisfied with the result.

The main world has a huge demand for people, so the slave trade is also very prosperous.

Ordinary people without any special skills are extremely cheap, even less expensive than some simulators' spirit pets, which can be easily bought in the simulator's shop.

Besides.

The simulated marketplace occasionally offers a large number of high-end servants for sale in bulk.

For example, there are alchemists who are skilled in alchemy, craftsmen who are skilled in crafting weapons, and spirit farmers who are skilled in cultivating spiritual herbs.

There are also talisman masters who are skilled at drawing talismans, and array masters who specialize in array formations.

These servants, though they did not activate the simulation mark, could not become simulators.

However, they possess remarkable talent in certain areas, enabling them to learn cultivation systems or knowledge from other worlds, thus opening up alternative paths for themselves.

Although they were still servants, they were still much better off than ordinary mortals.

the most important is.

This knowledge and these techniques come from all the heavens and myriad realms.

It contains everything and is profound and extensive.

If someone can master it, even if they are not a simulator, they can grow to an unimaginable level.

Just like the Pill King, who was treated as an honored guest by the various powerful kings, he was once a lowly servant of a Pill Cultivator.

Although he did not become a simulator, he possessed unparalleled talent in the path of alchemy.

Ultimately, with the help of a benefactor...

He rose from a lowly servant to become a powerful king.

The precious pills he refines are extremely rare, enough to make many powerful figures fight tooth and nail for them!
of course.

The legendary deeds of Dan Wang, though they sound thrilling.

But this is just an isolated case.

Besides having helpful mentors, his success also involved countless hardships and efforts compared to those of the simulators.

not to mention.

One step at a time, one step at a time.

Putting aside everything else, just the fact that simulators can be reincarnated repeatedly is a testament to this.

This inherently makes the gap between simulators and ordinary people almost insurmountable.

There are very few ordinary mortals who can rise from adversity like Dan Wang.

With his talent in alchemy, if he had the identity of a simulator, he might have gone further and achieved even greater success.

"Those low-level pills and weapons are enough to meet the needs of Worry-Free City; there's no need to expand production further."

"However, you can build more vocational colleges to train more residents into professionals."

"Also, I will be migrating a large number of people from other world planes. You should expand the scale of Worry-Free City as much as possible and prepare to receive them."

Lu Yuan said decisively.

Those low-level pills and weapons can be mass-produced using artificial intelligence, without any profit to be made.

On the contrary, those pills and magical artifacts that require artificial refining have huge profit margins.

After all, whether it's refining elixirs or forging weapons, it all involves understanding and applying the laws of heaven and earth.

"Ok."

Wu Xin didn't take Lu Yuan's words to heart and prepared to implement the plan.

Then Lu Yuan had a thought.

A palm-sized, rhomboid crystal appeared out of thin air in front of him.

This crystal shimmered with iridescent light, its surface imprinted with four ancient runes, exuding an extremely terrifying aura. It was located in the core of the territory of Worry-Free City.

Lu Yuan focused his gaze, and a light screen was immediately projected in mid-air.

[Item: Worry-Free City Territory Core]

Lord: Lu Yuan

[Grade: Fourth Order]

[Actively activated traits: Diligence is rewarded by Heaven, Undead Catastrophe, Acting on behalf of Heaven, and Exceptional Comprehension.]

[Note: The fifth trait cannot be activated due to insufficient territory core tier. It will only take effect after the territory core is upgraded.]

Lu Yuan was speechless.

The Territory Core Upgrade Card was not included in this simulation reward.

This means he has to spend a lot of simulated points to buy it from the store.

Fortunately, he still has a lot of simulation points, which is more than enough to upgrade the territory core.

[Notification: You have spent 100 million points to purchase a Tier 5 Territory Core Upgrade Card!]

Do you wish to use this service?

Lu Yuan silently made a decision and then selected "Confirm".

next moment.

There was a flash of light.

The palm-sized rhomboid crystal suddenly burst forth with dazzling divine light, illuminating the clouds in a kaleidoscope of colors.

Its size has also increased from the palm of a hand to the size of an adult's head!

After the upgrade is complete.

The semi-transparent spherical barrier that enveloped the entire Worry-Free City became increasingly solid and powerful.

Even if a powerful king were to personally arrive, they might not be able to break through the defenses of this ritual array.

Besides.

On the surface of the rhombus-shaped spirit stone, the fifth ancient rune has finally appeared!
The rune was complex and mysterious, and it could be vaguely seen that it was formed by dragon and phoenix patterns.

It symbolizes many children and good fortune, and the auspicious meaning of dragon and phoenix.

The moment this rune appears, the "Many Children, Many Blessings" talent takes effect!
Worry-free city.

A maternity hospital.

A thin, middle-aged man was pacing back and forth in the hospital corridor, muttering to himself as if he were praying for something.

But at this time.

A doctor in a white coat suddenly pushed open the operating room door and said anxiously.

"Sir, due to the patient's poor health and long-term malnutrition, she suffered severe bleeding during childbirth and her condition is very serious. A cesarean section may be necessary."

"In this situation, we can only try to save one child. Should we save the mother or the child?"

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man was struck dumb, his lips trembling, and he collapsed to the ground.

"Doctor, I beg you, can you please think of another way..."

The middle-aged man wept bitterly and pleaded desperately.

The couple were refugees who had recently fled from another place to Wuyou City.

People like them, who are considered lowly, are like rats in other places, destined to live their entire lives in dark, stinking ditches.

But here it is.

They had clean food and water, as well as a decent job and accommodation.

All of this gave him, who was completely numb, a glimmer of new hope.

He originally thought he could live a peaceful and prosperous life with his wife, children, and a warm bed.

Who knew the blow would come so quickly?

He couldn't bear to part with either his wife or his children.

If he could, he would rather die in his wife's place!

Just when he was heartbroken and unable to make a decision.

"Save the child..."

A voice, extremely weak yet incredibly firm, came from the operating table.

On the operating table.

A woman of ordinary appearance but gentle features struggled to look at the man, a slightly apologetic smile on her face.

"After I'm gone, it will be hard for you to take care of our child all by yourself..."

Subsequently.

The operating room doors were closed.

It was accompanied by a loud cry.

A baby was born.

But the electrocardiogram next to the hospital bed eventually turned into a straight line.

The middle-aged man slumped to the ground, covered his face with his hands, and sobbed uncontrollably.

Saw this scene.

Even doctors and nurses who are used to seeing life and death separations had slightly red eyes and felt very sad at this moment.

But the next moment.

Somewhere.

Some kind of force descended from the sky.

"Drip! Drip! Drip!"

Under the incredulous gazes of all the doctors and nurses.

The electrocardiogram, which had previously flattened out, now showed fluctuations again.

"Quickly! The patient's heart has been reactivated; he's not dead yet! Call for help immediately!"

Inside the operating room, everyone was in complete chaos.

"and many more!"

"What's going on? The patient's vital signs are improving rapidly?"

The surgeon stared at the instruments in the operating room, completely numb.

He is known for his precise and steady hands and has always been responsible for various high-difficulty surgeries.

At that moment, his hands were trembling uncontrollably, and he didn't even realize that the scalpel had fallen to the ground.

Because under his gaze.

The scar left from the patient's cesarean section is now healing and scabbing over at a visible speed, eventually returning to its original state!
The patient's deathly pale face, devoid of any color, gradually regained its rosy hue and radiance.

In just a few minutes, the patient not only came back to life from the brink of death.

Moreover, his breathing became steady, his complexion rosy, and his heartbeat became strong and powerful.

His vital signs and parameters were even healthier than his own!

All of this has gone beyond the scope of medical miracles; it can only be called a divine miracle!

"A miracle! This is a true miracle!"

The doctor's lips trembled, and it took him a long time to barely accept this fact.

Followed by.

The operating room doors opened.

Under the heartbroken gaze of the middle-aged man, his wife, who had just been lying on the operating table, actually walked out of there!
Congratulations, mother and child are safe and sound.

The doctor, holding the baby, said with emotion.

He immediately noticed the middle-aged man when he saw him.

The man, who was originally sallow-faced and thin, has now become strong and powerful, and has undergone a tremendous transformation.

"It seems this is the City Lord's skill; a miraculous cure, bringing the dead back to life—truly a divine miracle!"

The doctor seemed to be deep in thought.

"What, what happened? Thank you so much, doctor, for saving my life."

The middle-aged man was stunned as he looked at his perfectly healthy wife, not understanding what had happened.

When he tried to kowtow to the doctor to express his gratitude, the doctor stopped him.

"No, no, no, I don't have that ability."

"All of this is a miracle of the city lord. If you want to thank someone, thank the city lord."

The doctor said hurriedly.

The other doctors and nurses nodded in agreement.

Having personally experienced all of this, their respect and admiration for the city lord deepened even further.

And the other side.

Lu Yuan's divine sense could cover the entire city, so he naturally saw this scene.

"It seems that for ordinary people, the effect of 'many children, many blessings' might be more useful than the other talents."

Lu Yuan said thoughtfully.

Once the "Many Children, Many Blessings" trait becomes a territory trait, it will apply to all territory residents.

this means.

Both husband and wife can benefit from having a child.

It can be said.

With this territorial advantage, Lu Yuan will no longer need to worry about insufficient population! (End of Chapter)
