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

Great wasteland.

On the banks of the You River.

An old man in a straw raincoat was sitting at the bow of a boat, fishing.

However, upon closer inspection, one will find that the old man in the straw raincoat is fishing in a rather peculiar way.

He fished with a straight hook, without bait, without sinking into the water, and three feet above the surface.

Under normal circumstances, according to his fishing method...

Even a hundred years from now, you might not be able to catch a single small fish.

But in the next moment.

The straight hook suspended above the water suddenly plunged into the water, as if a large fish had taken the bait.

The fishing rod shook violently, sending out an irresistible force.

Its force was so great that the wooden boat was constantly rocking.

Caught off guard, the elderly man leaned forward and was nearly dragged into the water.

Just at this time.

The purple bamboo fishing rod in his hand instantly came to life, suddenly bursting forth with a dazzling divine light.

Each section of bamboo has mysterious patterns emerging on its surface.

These intertwined runes reflected each other, turning half the sky purple!

But even so.

The old man in the straw raincoat still dared not relax for a moment.

His expression changed drastically. He gripped the fishing rod tightly with both hands, veins bulging on his forehead, and his feet were firmly planted in the boat plank.

It took a tremendous amount of effort to barely manage to reach a stalemate with the other side.

However, the purple bamboo fishing rod in his hand creaked and bent, reaching its limit and could break at any moment.

It was as if he wasn't fishing for fish, but for a giant deep-sea monster that would devour anyone it wanted!
It didn't take long.

The immense force coming from the other end of the fishing line not only did not weaken, but gradually increased, making it increasingly difficult for him.

The old man in the straw raincoat was covered in sweat, and his arms ached slightly.

Even though his palms were bleeding and his muscles were strained, he was unwilling to let go.

Because the old man in the straw raincoat knew very well.

The Great Wilderness is desolate and decaying, and now only these few old monsters are left to hold it up.

If he were to back down, countless creatures of the Great Wilderness would be slaughtered!

On a certain mountain peak.

A ragged old blind man, leaning on a bamboo cane, was looking solemnly in the direction of Zhenhuang City.

It was as if one could see the menacing army of the Great Court across an endless distance!

Deep in the mountains of southern Xinjiang.

There is also a headless stone statue, thousands of feet tall, holding a giant axe, standing proudly among the mountains like a giant reaching to the sky.

The stone statue's surface is covered with cracks and overgrown with moss and vines.

But the moment the army of the Great Court stepped into this wild land...

The headless stone statue trembled violently, and a blinding divine light emanated from the gaps in its body, as if it were about to awaken from its slumber and fight a final battle against the heavens!
An ancient tribe, isolated from the world.

Another burly man, dressed in a short robe made of animal skins and with arms that reached past his knees, bid farewell to his tribe and people, carried a heavy bow on his back, and set off alone on his journey.

The burly man had dark skin and looked no different from any other man from the wilderness.

Yet, his stride, both powerful and imposing, exuded a unique and heroic aura.

Especially the heavy bow on his back, under the sunlight, faintly revealed divine runes of laws.

Even the sun in the sky seemed quite afraid of it, its light dimming considerably!
Not only that.

Upon learning of this...

Other ancient clans also gathered immediately to discuss how to join forces against the enemy.

"The Great Court is coming with great force; I'm afraid they intend to wipe out the entire Great Wilderness in one fell swoop."

"A formidable enemy is approaching, and no clan can remain uninvolved!"

"We must join forces to fight the enemy in order to have a chance of survival."

"That's right, there are no cowards in the Great Wilderness, we will fight to the death and never surrender!"

Some tribes, filled with fighting spirit, decided to wage war against the Great Kingdom.

However, most tribes and clans fell into a long period of silence.

It's true that the people of the Great Wilderness are full of fighting spirit, but the repeated battles have already exhausted everyone.

When will these dark and hopeless days finally end?
Moreover, some small tribes are extremely short of supplies, and even eating is a problem. How can they fight against the well-equipped army of the Great Court?
In addition, the Great Court Kingdom's long-term efforts to win over and divide various tribes have resulted in the Great Wilderness being like a heap of loose sand, making it impossible to reach a consensus.

"The will of Heaven is hard to defy; how can an individual possibly fight against it?"

"The fate of the Great Wilderness has run its course. Rather than making futile struggles and sacrifices, it is better to make plans as soon as possible."

Some clan leaders sighed, unwilling to let their people shed blood.

Hear these words.

Some people were so angry that they flew into a rage and shouted angrily on the spot.

"You bastards, have you forgotten the fate of the Longbo Kingdom, where people have been slaves for generations?"

"Being a slave is better than dying on the battlefield!"

"Even if we defeat the army of the Great Court Kingdom, so what? Do you want to starve and live in this godforsaken place for generations to come?"

The crowd argued incessantly, creating complete chaos.

"enough!"

Just at this time.

A middle-aged man in a yellow robe slammed his hand on the table and stood up, his voice booming like thunder in everyone's ears.

Everyone trembled, glanced at the middle-aged man, and fell silent, no longer daring to utter a sound.

Because this person is none other than Ji Hao, the strongest member of the Xuanyuan clan and the current clan leader!

"I understand that the wilderness is barren and that your survival is not easy."

"But we bear the blood of our ancestors, and have long been regarded by Heaven as a thorn in its side."

"If we surrender, we will be completely wiped out, with no way out!"

Ji Hao looked around at everyone and spoke in a resounding voice.

"Lord Ji Hao, but..."

Some people hesitated for a long time, wanting to say something more.

But as soon as he opened his mouth, Ji Hao interrupted him.

"We are locked in a life-or-death struggle with the Great Court; there is no room for compromise. This will be our final battle against the Great Court!"

"Even if my Xuanyuan clan exhausts all its resources and fights to the last drop, I will never compromise with the Great Court Kingdom!"

Ji Hao's strong and resolute attitude moved many of the powerful clan members present.

Upon seeing this, Yu Xiong was the first to stand up and express his opinion.

"I, of the Yu clan, am willing to go with you!"

The other clans clearly understood the principle of mutual dependence, and after exchanging glances, they finally made up their minds.

"Shennong, let's go together!"

"Jin Tianshi, let's go together!"

"Gaoyang clan, come along!"

The remaining tribes, though willing to surrender.

Faced with the inevitable trend of the war, even if they harbored ulterior motives, they had no choice but to bite the bullet and announce their participation.

Otherwise, given the ruthless methods of the Xuanyuan clan, they would probably be the first to be eliminated!

These tribes and clans barely managed to reach an agreement.

Ji Hao immediately mobilized his troops and organized a large army to meet the enemy at Dayu City. As Dayu City was in turmoil...

Lu Yuan was completely unaware of what was happening outside and was still in the midst of his cultivation.

As he studied the Five Elements Treasures, not only did his strength increase rapidly, but his body also underwent tremendous changes.

The heart is the abode of the spirit, the master of blood, and the origin of the pulse. In the Five Elements, it corresponds to fire.

At this moment, his heart was imprinted with countless dense flame runes, just like a blazing sun, providing his body with abundant blood and energy.

The lungs are the abode of the Po (corporeal soul) and the master of Qi (vital energy), belonging to the metal

Lu Yuan imprinted the Dao traces of the Law of Metal into his body, and his entire aura changed, just like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath.

Just sitting there, his sharp aura could easily tear through the air!
Besides.

His spleen, liver, kidneys, and even his entire body, flesh, internal organs, and spiritual embryo were all covered with traces of laws and principles, becoming increasingly powerful.

After Lu Yuan observed the Five Elements Treasures and thoroughly grasped all the laws and traces on them.

His body trembled, and all the laws and traces of Dao condensed together, eventually forming a Five Elements mark, which was imprinted on the forehead of his spiritual embryo.

His physical body also seemed to have undergone some kind of transformation, and his perception and control of the Five Elements became increasingly adept.

With a simple gesture, one can easily mobilize all the five elements of spiritual power!
"Is this what the Five Elements Spiritual Body is?"

Lu Yuan opened his eyes, a hint of understanding in them.

According to the cultivation manual left by the ancestors of the Yu clan.

When the way of Heaven is disordered, all living beings are incomplete.

The path of spiritual cultivation is both a struggle against fate and a continuous process of repairing one's own flaws to achieve perfection.

When a Qi cultivator's understanding of the laws of heaven and earth reaches an extremely profound level, their physical body will further transform into a spiritual body.

Besides their rapid cultivation and greater affinity with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, the Five Elements Spiritual Body is also...

It can also transform any kind of spiritual power into the power of the five elements.

They cycle and regenerate endlessly.

It can increase one's combat power several times over!
Moreover, after Lu Yuan transformed into the Five Elements Spiritual Body.

The Five Elements Divine Mountain in the spirit embryo's hand seemed to have become much heavier.

The sheer weight of this Five Elements Divine Mountain is enough to crush a Qi Refining cultivator at the Inscription Realm into a pulp.

Even if they encounter a Dharma Aspect Realm expert, they will still have the power to fight!
In particular, Lu Yuan activated the runes at the bottom of his eyes and looked down at himself.

He unexpectedly discovered that many hair-thin threads of cause and effect broke off on their own after his strength broke through.

After a moment's thought, Lu Yuan understood the reason.

The stronger he is, the more karma he can bear, and the stronger the effect of "Heaven grants man's wishes" will become.

As for those insignificant causes and effects, they would naturally dissolve themselves without his personal intervention.

This is like a poor scholar who is penniless; sometimes, owing just a few copper coins can drive him to desperation.

But when he became the top scholar in the imperial examination and entered the court as an official.

From then on, they no longer had to worry about a few coins, and a lot of people would even come to their door to give them money!

Having figured this out, Lu Yuan felt a sense of relief.

As long as his strength increases quickly enough, he won't have to worry about karma and cause and effect.

Just then, the communication jade talisman at his waist suddenly glowed slightly.

After investigating, Lu Yuan discovered that Yu Xiong had left behind a lot of messages several days ago.

"Young friend Lu Yuan, the Great Court will soon be at the city gates. Please stay in the city for the time being and do not go out into the wilderness to avoid any unforeseen events."

Yu Xiong earnestly reminded him.

In addition to these messages, Yu Xiong also revealed that other clans have decided to mobilize all their resources to fight the Great Court to the death, and want Lu Yuan to return the Five Elements Treasures as soon as possible.

"Has the Great Kingdom finally lost its patience?"

Lu Yuan frowned slightly.

Although the Yu clan won the previous battle for destiny, how could the will of Heaven be so easily defied?

As a henchman of the heavens, the Great Kingdom will undoubtedly launch a massive attack upon learning of this news, completely eliminating all potential threats.

"The Great Kingdom has mobilized a million troops this time, and I'm afraid many tribes will suffer."

"Fortunately, the clan chief and the others are located deep in the mountains and will not be in any danger for the time being."

Lu Yuan muttered to himself.

Dayu City is less than 100,000 li away from the Da Ting Kingdom. It is the gateway to the Great Wilderness and the only way to the 100,000 Mountains.

As long as Dayu City still exists, the Dafeng Tribe is relatively safe.

However, when the nest is overturned, how can any egg remain intact?
If Dayu City were to fall...

At that time, not only the Ten Thousand Mountains, but even the entire Great Wilderness will be completely overrun!
"I wonder if the Yu clan can withstand the attack from the Dating Kingdom. It seems I must think of a way."

Lu Yuan pondered.

Although this involves the grudges between the heavens and the wilderness, the cause and effect is too great for him to participate in.

However, the Great Kingdom is merely a claw of the heavens, and its strength is completely incomparable to that of the heavens.

If he's careful, he could use [Heaven's Will] to have some impact on the Da Ting army.

of course.

Lu Yuan did not act rashly, but planned to wait for the right opportunity to make his move.

He walked to the window and looked up at the sky.

All that could be seen was the sky above Dayu City.

Dark clouds gathered, a storm was brewing, and the atmosphere was very heavy.

When he exhausted his pupil power, he could even see it faintly.

It seemed that there were chains of divine order formed from the laws of heaven and earth, intertwining and crisscrossing in mid-air, completely sealing off this area.

Seen from afar.

The entire Great Wilderness is like a prison, and generations have been unable to leave this place even a step!

"No wonder the Great Wilderness has fallen to this state; it turns out the entire world has been sealed off."

Lu Yuan shook his head.

"Wait, this is..."

His gaze sharpened, and he suddenly noticed something.

Since his breakthrough in strength, Lu Yuantong's pupil power has also increased.

When he looked up at the pedestrians and Qi cultivators passing by on the street, he was surprised to find that all the people of the Great Wilderness had an invisible chain on their bodies.

These invisible chains can seal their bloodline and strength, keeping them in a perpetually dazed and confused state.

Even if they were lucky enough to embark on the path of cultivation, they would be despised by heaven and earth.

Whether it's the efficiency of absorbing spiritual energy or the speed of cultivation, they are far inferior to those of the Great Court.

Especially those Qi cultivators from powerful clans and tribes, whose invisible chains are exceptionally strong.

Its sealing power is so strong that it's terrifying.

It is only because the bloodlines of these ancient clans are too powerful that ordinary Qi cultivators would probably never be able to sense the existence of spiritual energy in the world.

Lu Yuan looked down at himself, and even when he activated his pupil power to the extreme, he could not find the existence of this invisible chain.

"Is it not sealed, or is my current strength too low to see it?"

Looking at the bustling street, Lu Yuan leaned more towards the latter.

Just because you can't see it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

As a simulator, he has been burdened with immense karma since the moment he was born in the wild world.

This not only relates to the grudges between the Great Wilderness and the Heavens, but also represents the struggle between the will of the Heavens and the will of the Wilderness.

He was just a minor Qi Refiner at the Inscription Realm; how could he be qualified to get involved in such a struggle?

Perhaps only when he becomes powerful enough will he be qualified to glimpse the cause and effect and the truth behind it all! (End of Chapter)
