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

Dayu City.

Inside a cave.

Lu Yuan stood by the window, looking up silently at the gray sky.

If it were an ordinary Qi cultivator, they would hardly be able to see anything amiss.

However, Lu Yuan had already grasped the essence of these two supreme extraordinary pupils by observing the laws and traces within the ancient double pupils and the martial arts heavenly eye.

Even his own eyes underwent some unpredictable change.

From his perspective at this moment.

Countless laws intertwined and crisscrossed in the sky, like a net covering the entire Great Wilderness.

The laws are chains, and heaven and earth are cages.

It can be said that this wild and desolate land is a prison carefully built by the gods of the heavens for the descendants of the Great Wilderness.

"What a grand gesture from the heavens!"

"But the Great Wilderness has already declined to this state, so why would they go to such lengths to imprison the descendants of the ancient clans here?"

"Or is it that they sealed off the entire world because they were afraid of something?"

Lu Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, a multitude of guesses rising in his mind.

However, with his current strength, he cannot know too many secrets.

Only when he has sufficient cultivation will the truth naturally come to light.

Lu Yuan shook his head, no longer thinking about it, and focused all his attention on the upcoming battle.

The Great Kingdom has come with great force this time, showing an attitude of mobilizing the entire nation to achieve victory in one battle.

If the Great Wilderness cannot overcome this crisis, it will surely suffer immense devastation.

All tribes and clans, like the people of Da Ting, will be completely reduced to food and nourishment for the gods and spirits generation after generation!

Therefore, the Great Wilderness must not lose this battle!

The Xuanyuan and Shennong clans were aware of this, which is why they led most of their clan's strongest members to Dayu City as soon as possible.

For a while.

The city of Dayu was overcrowded.

Passersby hurried by, creating an atmosphere of solemnity.

Qi cultivators at the Divine Bridge Realm and Dharma Aspect Realm experts, who were rarely seen in the past, can now be seen everywhere in the city.

Even several powerful beings at the Ascension Realm have appeared!
Besides.

Ji Hao, the patriarch of the Xuanyuan clan, Jiang Qian, the patriarch of the Shennong clan, and members of the Jintian and Gaoyang clans all gathered together to prepare for the great battle.

to the end.

Many people even saw Jiuli clan Qi cultivators with totems carved on their faces and carrying a large number of poisonous insects and snakes in Dayu City!
In ancient times, Chi You, the ancestor of the Jiuli clan, once competed with the Yellow Emperor of the Xuanyuan clan and the Yan Emperor of the Shennong clan for control of the world.

After Chi You's defeat.

All the descendants of the clan were exiled to the mountains of Miao territory, where they lived a life of isolation from the world.

That's why.

The Jiuli clan was at odds with other clans and tribes, and conflicts frequently occurred between them.

But now the Great Wilderness is on the verge of destruction.

Once Dayu City falls, all clans and tribes are destined to perish.

The Jiuli clan naturally understood the principle of mutual dependence, which is why they were willing to temporarily set aside past grievances and join forces with the descendants of the Yellow Emperor, Xuanyuan clan, to fight against the enemy!
"Young friend Lu Yuan, the army of the Great Court will arrive here soon. I have a favor to ask: I would like to borrow the Martial Arts Heavenly Eye."

That evening.

Yu Xiong visited Lu Yuan again and found him.

He looked exhausted, and his old, bloodshot eyes were filled with dark blood.

With a great battle imminent, even as a powerful cultivator at the Ascension Realm, he was under unprecedented pressure.

"This is not difficult, senior, please take it."

Lu Yuan took out the ancient double pupil and the martial arts heavenly eye and handed them directly to Yu Xiong.

Although these two pupils are priceless treasures.

However, he had already understood the underlying principles and laws, so keeping them by his side wouldn't be of much use.

Lu Yuan then returned the Five Elements Treasures as well.

"Wait, young friend Lu Yuan, you've cultivated the Five Elements Spiritual Body?"

As Yu Xiong put away all his treasures, he prepared to bid farewell to Lu Yuan.

Unexpectedly, they discovered that Lu Yuan's aura was as vast as the sea, and he possessed a Daoist charm of great perfection and freedom.

This is clearly the state of perfect harmony and endless cycle of the Five Elements.

"Thanks to the help of the senior, I was able to take this step by chance."

Lu Yuan said modestly, his tone tinged with gratitude.

If Yu Xiong hadn't gone to great lengths to help him borrow the Five Elements Treasures from another ancient clan, this would have been a disaster.

Otherwise, even if Lu Yuan had accumulated a wealth of experience in his previous life, it would still take him several years to perfect the Five Elements.

Where else could one find such a feat, where the Five Elements Spiritual Body could be successfully condensed in just half a month!
"It was nothing more than a small favor for me. Young friend, your achievements are entirely due to your own hard work and talent."

"It's a pity that a great war is approaching. Otherwise, with your unparalleled talent, young friend, if you had enough time to grow, you would surely have gone much further in the future."

Yu Xiong was filled with emotion, his tone tinged with regret.

Lu Yuan was only five years old when he entered the Inscription Realm.

What is this concept?
Even those with double pupils in this era are inferior to him.

without any exaggeration.

Lu Yuan's talent is so extraordinary that it is absolutely rare in his life, and there may not be many like him throughout history!
If Lu Yuan can grow up, he might really be able to dominate the lower realm and be invincible!
Think of this.

Yu Xiong hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth, as if he had made a decision.

"Young friend Lu, have you ever heard of the Land of Return to Nothingness?"

"Senior, are you referring to the Great Ruins of Guixu, the place in ancient legends where five immortal mountains exist?"

Lu Yuan was startled upon hearing this and asked in confusion.

“That’s right.” Yu Xiong nodded and then explained to Lu Yuan, “Our clan’s records say that there is a great ravine outside the East Sea called Guixu, which is the country of Shaohao. Shaohao once raised Emperor Zhuanxu here.”

"People only know that the Great Abyss Returns to Ruins and that there are immortal mountains such as Penglai, but few know that the Heavenly Emperor Zhuanxu of my ancient ancestral court lived here for a long time."

An ancient ancestral temple?

Emperor Zhuanxu?

Lu Yuan's heart skipped a beat, and he had a premonition that what Yu Xiong had said had touched on some of the secrets of the Great Wilderness.

as predicted.

After making up his mind, Yu Xiong made hand seals and set up multiple restrictions in the cave, and then told the whole story in one breath.

“Ancient texts say that Guixu is called the bottomless valley, but it is actually a cave world of its own and the place where my ancient ancestral home is located.”

"The Heavenly Emperors of all dynasties and the ancient sages have lived here and left behind their legacy and traditions. This is also the last pure land in our Great Wilderness."

"But since the ancient war of the gods, our Heavenly Emperor has fallen and our lineage has been broken. Now only a few ancient clans know how to enter the Ruins of Return."

"However, Guixu was also severely damaged back then, and was almost reduced to ruins. Now only a few people can enter."

At this point, Yu Xiong paused for a moment, as if organizing his thoughts, before continuing.

"The fate of the Great Wilderness has run its course. Even if we manage to defeat the army of the Great Court this time, we are destined to suffer heavy losses."

"Not to mention, there are gods behind the Great Court, so the chances of us defeating them are extremely slim."

"Therefore, we plan to send the direct descendants of the great clans to the Ruins of Return, in order to preserve the last spark of life in the Great Wilderness as much as possible."

“Originally, I planned to send Yu Qi to Guixu, but as a person with double pupils in this world, his every move will be watched by countless people.”

"If he suddenly disappears, it will definitely arouse suspicion from the Kingdom of Da Ting and others."

"So he can't leave, and he's not allowed to leave."

Yu Xiong sighed.

Lu Yuan immediately understood his meaning. Guixu, as the location of the ancient ancestral court, is the only place in the lower realm where one can escape the surveillance and control of the Heavenly Dao.

If these ancient clans can preserve even a trace of their bloodline, they might have a chance to make a comeback in the future.

However, the ruins were broken and could not accommodate too many people.

But everyone has the instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm.

Lu Yuan could imagine it.

Once this news gets out, it will inevitably shake morale and trigger civil war among various ethnic groups.

“Yu Qi is the most outstanding prodigy of our Yu clan in this generation, but under the watchful eyes of everyone, he must stay in Dayu City, so I would like to give this spot to you.”

Yu Xiong looked at Lu Yuan and said very seriously.

have to say.

Yu Xiong's suggestion greatly appealed to Lu Yuan.

Now, the imperial army is pressing in on the border.

Anyone with a modicum of sense knows that the Great Wilderness is merely putting up a last-ditch effort and will inevitably be defeated sooner or later.

If Lu Yuan could go to Guixu, he might be able to quickly grow stronger by utilizing the resources inside.

But he just left like that, what will happen to Dayu City?
What will happen to the Dafeng tribe?
What will happen to the billions of lives in the Great Wilderness?
Lu Yuan was a man who killed countless people throughout his life and could never be considered a good person.

But the kindness of others will be remembered for a thousand years.

He would never simply walk away before he was completely cornered.

Moreover, there is always a way out; the outcome of this battle is still uncertain!

“Senior, this favor is too great, I am afraid I cannot accept it.”

"Moreover, with a formidable enemy attacking, all the people of the Great Wilderness have the duty to fight and kill the enemy. Although I am of low strength, I would never do anything like deserting in the face of battle!"

Lu Yuan's voice was low as he immediately rejected Yu Xiong's suggestion.

"Very good, very good. I never expected you to have such awareness, young friend. I was the foolish one."

"Young friend, go ahead and fight the enemy. If things really become unbearable, I will protect you even at the cost of my own life!"

Yu Xiong was moved and laughed heartily.

United in hatred against the enemy, undaunted in the face of danger.

This is the true spirit that the men of the Great Wilderness should possess!
"Young friend, I have important matters to attend to and cannot stay any longer, so I will take my leave now."

"Senior, walk slowly."

Yu Xiong was busy deploying troops and setting up formations. After exchanging a few pleasantries with Lu Yuan, he hurriedly left the cave.

Lu Yuan watched his departing figure and breathed a sigh of relief.

Yu Xiong's visit this time was tantamount to leaving him a way out.

If the Great Wilderness is destined to fail.

Then he can also go to Guixu with the other clan prodigies.

And before that.

He can go all out and have no more worries!

"As you wish, let me see your limits!"

Lu Yuan's eyes flickered, and he was very curious.

When he exerts all his strength and disregards the cost to push "Heaven Follows Man's Wish" to its limit, what kind of powerful effect will it have?
Next.

Lu Yuan stayed indoors, day and night.

When thirsty, they drink spiritual liquid; when hungry, they eat spiritual fruit to replenish their spiritual power.

Time and again, he used the "Heaven's Will" ability to reinforce the thought of 'defeating the Ootengu army' in his mind.

The causal threads on his body also became increasingly complex and dense.

to the end.

Like a silkworm cocoon, it tightly enveloped him, making it difficult for him to move and even breathing.

But at the same time.

Under the influence of "God grants man's wishes".

Somewhere.

The originally predetermined fate of the Great Wilderness has now undergone some inexplicable change.

On the banks of the You River.

The old man in the straw raincoat stood at the bow of the boat, exhausted.

But he still gripped the purple bamboo fishing rod tightly with both hands, as if he were locked in a stalemate with a giant beast in the water.

But suddenly.

Suddenly, the fishing rod in his hand felt light, as if an invisible hand had given him a lift, and he actually managed to pull up the transparent soul of an old man from the water.

The old man was dressed in a Taoist robe, with white hair and beard, and his features were exactly the same as those of the sect leader of the Heavenly Fortune Sect!
"I actually managed to fish up the soul of that old bastard, the leader of the Heavenly Fortune Sect?"

The old man in the straw raincoat stared blankly at the old man's spirit on the hook, standing motionless at the bow of the boat, his face full of confusion and doubt, without a trace of the joy a fisherman would feel at a good catch.

He uses cause and effect as the thread and qi as bait to fish out the souls of all living beings.

However, the sect leader of the Heavenly Fortune Sect is a claw of the heavens, capable of reaching the ears of the heavens. His attainments in the Dao of Cause and Effect are even slightly better than his.

Based on the previous situation, it was only a matter of time before the old man in the straw raincoat was defeated.

However, he never expected this.

At the crucial moment, the leader of the Heavenly Fortune Sect actually failed and was lured into this trap.

Meanwhile, in a magnificent palace within the Great Kingdom, hundreds of millions of miles away.

"Fate has wronged me..."

An elderly man in a Taoist robe looked terrified, as if he had encountered something extremely frightening.

He then let out a cry, blood flowed from his seven orifices, and he collapsed and died!

Not only that.

Deep in the wilderness.

The old blind man leaning on a bamboo cane and the burly man carrying a large bow on his back also looked up at the sky with solemn expressions, as if they had discovered something extraordinary.

Meanwhile, in the mountains of Miao territory, the headless stone statue that stood tall and imposing was covered with cracks on its body, and the light it emitted became even more dazzling, and even the speed of its recovery accelerated considerably!

"Just who is this person who can interfere with the destiny of Heaven?"

The bow of the multi-story ship.

Ting Yanzong stood with his hands behind his back, exuding a domineering and powerful aura.

But in that instant.

He, who was always expressionless and unmoved even when a mountain collapsed in front of him, suddenly looked up at the sky with a rare look of surprise on his face.

To defy the will of Heaven, to go against the will of Heaven.

These eight words are simple to say, but incredibly difficult to put into practice.

No matter how powerful an individual is, how can they contend with the vastness of heaven and earth?
Even someone as powerful as him, whose strength is no less than that of the gods of the heavens, can only submit to fate in the face of the will of heaven and dare not have any thought of resistance!
According to the original destiny of Heaven, the Great Wilderness was destined to suffer devastation and was bound to lose.

But now.

This predetermined fate took an unexpected and unpredictable turn, one that even he couldn't fathom!
"Interesting. I didn't expect that such a figure would still exist among the remnants of the Great Wilderness."

"I'd like to see whether his methods are more powerful, or whether the will of Heaven prevails!"

A cold smile appeared on Ting Yanzong's lips, and the fighting spirit in his eyes grew even stronger.

As the time goes.

One day, two days, three days...

Five days later.

Amidst the anxious waiting of many Qi Refiners, a black torrent finally appeared outside Dayu City! (End of Chapter)
