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

Great wasteland.

Stone Turtle Tribe.

Looking at the deep mountains illuminated by the firelight and then plunged back into darkness, Shi Hu felt a chill run through his body, and his heart sank completely into the abyss.

"Lord Lin, why has the aid you promised not arrived yet?"

Shi Hu's voice was hoarse, and his tone was less respectful and more filled with suppressed anger.

Over a thousand strong and capable men!
This is the very foundation upon which the Stone Turtle tribe depends for its survival!
Now, however, they have been slaughtered by Lu Yuan, leaving not a single survivor!

Even if help arrives now.

The Stone Turtle tribe has also suffered a severe blow and will need at least ten years to slowly recover.

All of this was caused by the empty promises made by the man in brocade robes.

"They're just a bunch of mortal ants, they're dead, so what? What's there to regret?"

The man in brocade snorted coldly, about to say something, but seeing Shi Hu's bloodshot pupils, he swallowed his words back.

Although he was arrogant and domineering, he wasn't mentally ill.

He knew very well that his physical body had been destroyed and he was in danger. He needed to rely on Shi Hu's power to survive until his companions arrived.

Think of this.

The man in brocade had no choice but to lower his stance and offer kind words of comfort.

“Those who achieve great things do not concern themselves with trifles. If you can help me overcome this difficulty, I will definitely recommend you to the city lord when I return to Zhenhuang City.”

"At that time, you will not only receive the full support of Zhenhuang City, but you may also be able to shed your barbarian status and lead your tribe to live in the Great Court Kingdom!"

Although Shi Hu knew that the man in brocade was just making empty promises, he still couldn't resist being tempted.

The Kingdom of Da Ting is vast and rich in resources, possessing the best fertile land and soil in the world, making it incredibly wealthy.

If I could leave this desolate land, I might be able to try to reach a higher level of cultivation!

Shi Hu was filled with excitement, but before he could make a move...

A cold arrow suddenly pierced the air and struck him in the chest!

Although he had been visualizing the stone tortoise carrying the mountain for many years, he had already tempered his physical body to the point of being as hard as a rock.

However, this cold arrow was formed from pure spiritual power, and it could also cause extremely terrifying damage to the soul!

Shi Hu groaned, feeling as if his soul had been severely damaged, and his mind went blank.

And while he was in a daze.

Lu Yuan fired again and again, arrows raining down, turning Shi Hu into a pincushion!
Shi Hu was bleeding profusely, and his body was riddled with arrows.

No matter how strong his body was or how solid his defenses were, he couldn't withstand such severe injuries.

What frustrated him even more was that he didn't even know what the enemy looked like from beginning to end!
next moment.

Another arrow flew in and pierced the stone tiger's brow.

He held on tightly, trying his best not to collapse.

However, he was not a Qi cultivator at the Spirit Embryo Realm, and could not yet achieve soul separation, thus failing to survive in the world solely through his spiritual body.

Such severe injuries were enough to completely destroy all life force within him.

On his deathbed.

In Shi Hu's gradually blurring vision, he finally saw a young man holding a longbow walking towards him from a distance.

"So you... are from the Great Wind Tribe..."

Shi Hu stared intently at the ox-horn bow in Lu Yuan's hand, let out a bitter laugh, and then died!

The spirit of the man in brocade robes was hiding behind Shi Hu's corpse, trembling with fear.

As he heard the footsteps approaching, his body trembled even more violently.

After a while, the footsteps disappeared.

But when the man in brocade robes looked up, he suddenly met a pair of cold and indifferent eyes!

At this moment.

The man in brocade robes completely broke down, bursting into tears and pleading desperately.

"Waaah, please, please let me go."

"If you're willing to spare my life, I can grant you any request."

"Moreover, I am a direct descendant of the Lin family of Zhenhuang City. If you kill me, the Lin family will definitely not let it go."

Lu Yuan ignored the brocade-clad man who was terrified.

With a slight thought, he used his mental imagery to conjure a rope, tightly binding the man in brocade robes before casually tossing it into his bone ring.

A Qi cultivator in the visualization realm can visualize countless things.

With sufficient mental strength, one can transform the illusory into the real and create things out of thin air.

Having experienced many reincarnations, Lu Yuan was now at the peak of Qi Refining, so visualizing a rope was an easy task for him.

This man in brocade robes has an extraordinary background, but he's also a spineless coward.

When we have time, we'll interrogate him thoroughly and we're sure we can get a lot out of him.

"The clan chief is dead?"

Other members of the Stone Turtle tribe hid inside their houses, watching this scene in horror through the cracks in the doors, unwilling to accept the reality for a long time.

In their minds, the stone tiger in the perfect state of visualization is as powerful as a god.

Who could have predicted the outcome?

Shi Hu was shot dead on the spot without even being able to fight back!

At this moment, the seemingly young boy holding a longbow was, in their eyes, more terrifying than a demon.

Next.

Lu Yuan first searched the corpses of Shi Hu and the man in brocade and found a ring and a leather bag.

Then, with a sweep of his mind, he emptied the entire Stone Turtle tribe of all its food, poultry, and supplies.

Do it all.

He then activated the true fire of the sun, igniting a pile of dry wood.

Followed by.

A gust of wind blew by, scattering the pile of firewood to every corner of the Stone Turtle Tribe, instantly turning it into a raging inferno!
The True Fire of the Sun is the ultimate fire; it ignites upon contact and burns nothing.

Not to mention.

Lu Yuan incorporated the changes of the Five Elements into the Spark of Fire Diagram, causing the power of the True Fire of the Sun to surge again.

Water cannot extinguish it, and soil cannot extinguish it.

Even stone houses built of stone will be melted instantly!

Those ordinary mortals didn't even have time to scream before they were instantly burned to ashes by the sea of ​​fire.

The Stone Turtle Tribe, which had been passed down for hundreds of thousands of years, was reduced to nothingness in the flames and never existed again!

Lu Yuan stood outside the village, quietly watching this scene, his gaze calm and serene, his heart undisturbed.

We must eradicate evil completely and nip it in the bud.

Since the Stone Turtle Tribe colluded with Zhenhuang City to try to attack the Great Wind Tribe, they must pay the price for it.

As for keeping ordinary members of the Stone Turtle tribe as slaves, that was even more impossible.

The people of the Great Wilderness value bloodline inheritance and have a strong sense of belonging to their tribe, making it difficult for them to integrate into other tribes.

Moreover, the Dafeng tribe only has a few hundred people, while the Shigui lineage has several thousand.

The two sides are sworn enemies, and with more servants than masters, trouble is bound to break out sooner or later!

……

The next morning.

As the sun rises, the Great Wilderness Tribe begins its busy day.

A young man in animal-patterned robes, with a hunting knife at his waist and a longbow on his back, returned from the deep mountains via a winding mountain path.

The boy was covered in blood and looked exhausted.

But upon seeing the familiar little village ahead, his tense nerves finally relaxed.

"Grandpa, the little baby is back!"

Six-year-old Fengling was sitting on a big rock at the entrance of the village, gazing longingly at the mountain road.

When she saw Lu Yuan returning from hunting, she immediately jumped up from the rock and ran to him.

"Oh dear, little one, are you hurt?"

Feng Ling looked up at Lu Yuan and asked with concern.

Although she was two years older than Lu Yuan, Lu Yuan had been cultivating for many years and was now taller than a ten-year-old child.

"I'm fine, it's just some blood."

Lu Yuan felt a warmth in his heart and reached out to pat Feng Ling's little head. "Little baby, you can't touch my head, or you won't grow tall."

Fengling said sweetly, still bothered by the height difference between herself and Lu Yuan.

"Xiao Lingzi, you need to eat more so that you can grow tall."

Lu Yuan smiled faintly.

"However, I found a wind-based Qi cultivation method this time, which is very suitable for you to cultivate. In the future, you can also become a Qi cultivator."

While talking.

He conjured a piece of animal hide out of thin air and handed it to Fengling.

Based on information revealed in his life experiences.

Feng Ling is exceptionally gifted, possessing a rare wind spirit body, and her cultivation of the wind path is divinely aided.

That's why Shi Hu took her as his disciple in name only after he annexed the Dafeng tribe, and even passed on a fragmented wind-based Qi cultivation method to her.

But Shi Hu also had a backup plan.

Feng Ling has the Qi Refining Method, but lacks the visualization diagram. No matter how talented she is, she can only stop at the Qi Refining Realm.

This way.

She could never escape Shi Hu's control; she would be used by the Shi Gui tribe for the rest of her life!
However, with Lu Yuan's arrival, Feng Ling's fate changed.

The entire Stone Turtle tribe was completely eradicated by Lu Yuan, leaving not a single bloodline behind.

"Xiao Yuan, you're back?"

When Feng Huai'an saw Lu Yuan return safely, his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.

However, when he saw the animal skin scroll in Fengling's hand, his gaze sharpened, and he asked curiously, "Ling'er, what is this?"

"Grandpa, this is the cultivation method that the little baby gave me!"

Fengling beamed with joy, her big eyes curving into crescent moons.

Lu Yuan didn't hide anything and told everyone what he had experienced.

Upon learning the whole story, Feng Huai'an was struck dumb, remaining stunned for a long time.

He originally thought Lu Yuan was just going up the mountain to hunt.

Who would have thought that Lu Yuan would casually wipe out the Stone Turtle Tribe?
Feng Huai'an's mind was a complete mess, and it took him a long time to barely accept it.

When he heard the news that the Stone Turtle Tribe had surrendered to Zhenhuang City, Feng Huai'an's expression changed slightly, and he suddenly felt a wave of fear.

If it weren't for Lu Yuan this time...

I'm afraid that once Shi Hu breaks through to the Spirit Embryo Realm, the entire Dafeng Tribe will suffer a terrible fate!
Feng Huai'an didn't say much about Lu Yuan burning the Stone Turtle Tribe to ashes.

That's how cruel the survival rules are in the Great Wilderness.

Either you die or I die.

If you are kind to your enemies, you will only put yourself and your people in dire straits.

"Grandpa Chief, I have obtained a lot of supplies and food this time. Please take them and use them."

Lu Yuan was generous and handed a treasure pouch to Feng Huai'an.

This was found on the man in brocade robes; the interior was extremely spacious and could easily hold millions of kilograms of grain.

When Feng Huai'an saw the mountain of white rice, even he, a man of old age and composure, was somewhat dazzled.

After a while, he calmed himself down and put the ring away.

"There are still wild vegetables and game on the mountain, so we don't have to worry about food for the time being."

"When winter comes and food is scarce, I will go to the market to exchange these rice for coarse grains."

Lu Yuan nodded, having no objection to Feng Huai'an's arrangement.

In the desolate wilderness, resources were scarce, and filling one's stomach was the most important thing.

This million catties of rice may seem like a lot, but the men of the wilderness have an astonishing appetite. Even if they are careful with their food, it will only last them about a year.

One pound of rice can be exchanged for several pounds of coarse bran and other grains.

If we save a little, we won't have to worry about food for the next few years!

"A severe drought is coming; it seems we should have the clan chief stockpile more grain."

Lu Yuan pondered to himself.

A decade of severe drought resulted in a complete crop failure.

I fear that in the not-too-distant future, countless people will starve to death.

Thinking about this.

Lu Yuan left behind all the cultivation resources and then handed over the other daily necessities to Feng Huai'an.

Anyway, these pots and pans, grains, farm tools and ironware were of no use to him.

Rather than letting it rot in our hands, it's better to let the tribe members live a better life.

Lu Yuan solemnly instructed Feng Huai'an to buy more grain, and then gave some meat and grain to Lu's parents before returning to his own room.

To make it easier for him to cultivate, Feng Huai'an specially vacated a stone house for Lu Yuan.

The stone house is not large, containing only a table, bed, benches, and chairs, but it is kept very simple and clean.

Lu Yuan closed the doors and windows, then with a slight thought, took out the spirit embryo of the man in brocade.

Compared with before.

The man in brocade robes was imprisoned for a night, and his spiritual embryo became weak and almost transparent, as if it might dissipate at any moment.

Upon seeing Lu Yuan, he pleaded weakly and desperately.

"Please, please let me go. My spiritual embryo can't hold on any longer. If it doesn't receive a remedy, it will completely collapse in less than three days."

Tell me the information I want, and maybe I'll consider it.

Lu Yuan said calmly.

Upon hearing this, the man in brocade robes grasped at the last straw, like a drowning man grabbing at a drowning person.

He immediately spoke frankly and told everything he knew.

The man in brocade robes was named Lin Zhi, a direct descendant of the Lin family of Zhenhuang City.

However, due to his dissolute nature and lack of ambition, he offended a wealthy young master while vying for a famous courtesan.

When his father learned of this, he was furious and helped him find a job in the city lord's mansion to temper his character.

Originally, he was just going out of the city with the others to gain some credit, but he never expected to end up like this!
According to Lin Zhi.

Zhenhuang City is home to countless powerful figures and is the most important city in the Great Court Kingdom.

Not only are there powerful beings at the Ascension Realm in charge, but there are also divine artifacts bestowed by the gods to suppress all villains, and it is strictly forbidden for anyone from the Great Wilderness to leave this land abandoned by the gods even half a step.

"The Forsaken Land?"

Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow; this was the first time he had heard this title.

Lin Zhi hurriedly explained, "The alien races of the Great Wilderness disobeyed the divine decree and openly defied the heavens on many occasions, thus incurring divine punishment."

"All descendants of the alien races of the Great Wilderness will be enslaved and tormented forever in this desolate land!"

"Wait, you're saying we're a different race?"

Lu Yuan sensed something was wrong.

"Your ancestors in the Great Wilderness mostly had three heads and six arms, with beast heads and human bodies. What else could they be but a different race?"

Lin Zhi asked, puzzled.

"If we are a different race, then what are you?"

Lu Yuan asked again.

"Of course we are human."

Lin Zhi looked puzzled, not understanding why Lu Yuan would ask such a question.

Lu Yuan didn't say anything more, but just gave him a meaningful look.

According to the cultivation methods of the Great Wilderness.

A Qi cultivator at the Spirit Embryo Realm must observe the statues of their ancestors and comprehend their divine essence in order to condense a Spirit Embryo and revert their bloodline to its ancestral form.

For example, the Stone Turtle Tribe condenses the spiritual essence of a stone turtle, giving them the power to carry mountains.

The Great Wind Tribe, on the other hand, condensed the Fire God's Spirit Embryo, greatly enhancing their ability to control fire.

Therefore, the image of the spirit embryo varies greatly from tribe to tribe.

However, according to Lin Zhi, the spiritual embryos of Qi cultivators in the Great Court Kingdom all resemble their own appearance.

This certainly makes spiritual practice easier.

But from a certain perspective...

They abandoned their ancestral bloodline and forgot their origins and history.

Aside from their different faces, the spirit embryos were all identical, lacking any spirituality, as if they had been carved from the same mold! (End of Chapter)
