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

"Now that everyone has arrived, it's time for you to set off."

"However, there are a few things you must keep in mind before heading to the ancestral temple."

Inside the palace of Dayu City.

The Imperial Tutor rose from his seat and explained the details to everyone.

"As you all probably know, the ancient ancestral court is a world of its own, and is the sacred land of our human race."

"It contains not only countless rare and precious treasures, but also the legacy left by the Heavenly Emperors of my human race throughout the ages."

"But ever since the ancient war, our human race has been on the verge of extinction, and our ancestral court has become dilapidated. Many of our heritages and treasures have been lost to the heavens and their whereabouts are unknown."

At this point, the Imperial Tutor's tone carried a hint of regret.

The resources and treasures accumulated by the ancient ancestral court over countless years have been lost in vain, which is a tragedy for the human race!
Not only that.

Originally, the ancient ancestral court was located in the Ruins of Return, and even the heavens could not pinpoint its exact location.

However, with the decline of human fortune and the betrayal of the ancestors of the Longbo Kingdom, the location of the Ruins of Return has long been exposed.

The Ruins of Guixu, once regarded as a paradise on earth by all the powerful humans, has now become a perilous place where one has a slim chance of survival!

"The Ruins of Guixu are now teeming with strange creatures and ferocious beasts."

“These strange creatures are all descendants of ancient divine beasts. If you encounter them, you will definitely be in big trouble.”

The Imperial Tutor glanced at Ji Chen and the others, and said calmly.

The ancient ancestral court was not only the place where the Heavenly Emperor preached, but also a place for training the most outstanding talents of the human race.

Only those with exceptional talent and great strength are qualified to enter.

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed slightly.

Ancient mythical beasts were terrifying beings comparable to gods.

For example, Bixi, the ancestor of the Stone Turtle Tribe, was born with divine strength and was able to carry an ancient divine mountain on his back as soon as he came of age!
Not to mention the infamous ancient ferocious beasts like the True Dragon, Fire Phoenix, Azure Luan, Chaos, and Qiongqi, who were capable of tearing apart gods with their bare hands.

“The ancient alien species are nothing to fear. What you should be extremely wary of are those beings from the heavens.”

The Imperial Tutor uttered a startling statement.

Upon hearing this, even Yu Xiong and Ji Hao, along with other Ascension Realm experts, turned pale.

They knew that Guixu was dangerous, but they never expected that there would be people from the heavens!

"Senior Imperial Tutor, what do you mean by that?"

Ji Hao asked hurriedly.

"The location of Guixu has been exposed. Heaven has been searching for the entrance to the ancestral court, wanting to obtain the Heavenly Emperor's inheritance of my human race."

"However, the Ancestral Court is a sacred place of our human race, sealed by the laws of the Heavenly Emperor, which even the heavens cannot break in a short time."

"Over the years, they have thoroughly searched the entire Guixu area and left behind a large number of informants and people to prevent the descendants of the human race from entering."

"Once you arrive at the Ruins of Return, I will stop them. As for what you gain, that will depend entirely on your own fate."

As the Imperial Tutor spoke, he coughed violently a few more times.

"Senior Imperial Tutor..."

Everyone looked worried, concerned about his health.

"It's alright. Although I am nearing the end of my life, dealing with a few mere false gods is still no problem."

The Imperial Tutor waved his hand, indicating that everyone should not worry.

He then tapped the ground lightly with his bamboo staff, and an extremely complex spatial teleportation array appeared on the ground.

Everyone who witnessed this scene was secretly shocked.

One thought creates a formation!
This is the terrifying method of an ancient powerful being!
Followed by.

The formation activated, and a teleportation power that shifted the stars enveloped Lu Yuan and the others.

A flash of white light flashed.

Before Lu Yuan and the others could react, they suddenly disappeared from the spot.

"I hope their trip goes smoothly and that nothing unexpected happens."

Watching Ji Chen and the others disappear, Ji Hao said with a solemn expression.

Ji Chen and his companions possess extraordinary talent, making them the most outstanding prodigies among the younger generation in the Great Wilderness, and the direct descendants who will lead the various clans in the future.

If anything were to happen to them, I fear that all the major clans would be without successors, resulting in a break in their lineage!

"Don't worry, with the Imperial Tutor here this time, there shouldn't be too much risk."

Yu Xiong comforted him.

In fact.

There was something else he didn't say.

Among the young prodigies who went to the ancient ancestral court this time, besides Ji Chen and others, there was also Lu Yuan, a rising star.

Although Lu Yuan's cultivation level is not high, with his strength and methods, he can even forcibly change the will of heaven.

As long as he's here.

Even if Ji Chen and his companions unfortunately encounter someone from Heaven, they can still turn danger into safety and avert peril!
……

"Is this the Great Abyss Ruins?"

When Lu Yuan came to his senses again, he found himself having left Dayu City and was in an unfamiliar place.

He looked around.

The first thing that catches the eye is a vast and boundless sea.

The wind rises and the waves surge, the sound of the tide echoes.

The sea breeze that rushed towards us carried a damp, salty smell.

In the middle of the ocean, there is a bottomless abyss.

Endless seawater converged from all directions, only to be swallowed up by this abyss.

But what's strange is...

This abyss swallows up large amounts of seawater every moment, yet the sea level never drops by the slightest.

As for the place where Lu Yuan was standing, it was an island.

Although it is called an island, its area is larger than a small world.

The island is covered with majestic mountains and towering peaks.

The area is covered with dense ancient forests and towering trees, and powerful alien species can be seen roaming through the jungle from time to time.

Lu Yuan strained his eyes to look into the distance, and at the end of the island, he saw three ancient immortal mountains that were so majestic and imposing that they were beyond imagination.

The three immortal mountains were extremely far apart, seemingly at the end of the sky. No matter how much Lu Yuan activated the runes in his eyes, he could only vaguely see a blurry outline.

"Are these the legendary three sacred mountains?"

A knowing glint flashed in Lu Yuan's eyes.

"The Ruins of Return are sealed by the laws left by the Heavenly Emperor, prohibiting Qi cultivators above the Dharma Aspect Realm from entering. I can only send you this far."

"As for the entrance to the ancestral temple, it is hidden in the middle of the Penglai Immortal Mountain."

“You possess the bloodline of the Heavenly Emperor of the Human Race. You only need to ascend that immortal mountain, and you will be guided to the ancestral court.”

The Imperial Tutor explained to everyone.

"Thank you very much, Imperial Tutor."

Lu Yuan and Ji Chen bowed to each other.

But at that moment, a loud shout, like a thunderclap, suddenly resounded between heaven and earth.

"Who dares to trespass on my Heavenly Court's sacred grounds?"

The words have not yet fallen.

Then three majestic figures, each with terrifying power and imposing might, appeared from the void.

This was different from the deities Lu Yuan had seen before.

These three imposing figures exuded an overwhelming aura, with the phantom of a divine kingdom appearing behind them.

In that divine kingdom, one could vaguely see hundreds of millions of beings bowing and worshipping it, regarding it as a god!
As soon as they appeared.

It replaced rules and order, becoming the only thing in the world!

Even when they saw the Imperial Tutor, they merely glanced at him indifferently, showing no fear whatsoever.

"This is troublesome. I didn't expect the heavens to value Guixu so much that they would send three ancestral gods to guard this place."

Ji Chen's heart sank, and he exclaimed in surprise.

What are ancestral gods?

If ordinary celestial deities are merely pseudo-gods who have ignited divine fire and grasped a portion of the power of laws, then a powerful ancestral god can be reborn from a drop of blood and has completely mastered the authority of a certain law, capable of guarding a realm in place of the Heavenly Emperor!
In the mortal realm, I am the ancestor; in the divine realm, I am the pinnacle!
The authority of laws and the power of laws differ by only two words.

However, the difference between the two is as vast as the difference between heaven and earth.

Back then, the Heavenly Emperor quelled the human rebellion and, by divine decree, established the Heavenly Court to shepherd all living beings for the gods and demons.

That's why.

The Heavenly Emperor obtained a portion of the Heavenly Dao authority from the gods and demons.

Then the Heavenly Emperor bestowed titles upon the gods, granting them the authority over the three thousand laws.

The Three Thousand Laws correspond to the Three Thousand Ancestral Gods.

The heavens possess billions of gods and hundreds of thousands of celestial deities, but there have always been only three thousand ancestral gods.

A carrot and a pit.

Unless you can transcend the Heavenly Dao and be free from the laws of this world.

Otherwise, they would be in the presence of Ancestral God Realm experts who had cultivated the same law.

No matter how talented, strong, or insightful you are, you will never be able to overcome the gap between you and them!

without any exaggeration.

Any ancestral god could destroy a lower realm with the flick of their finger.

This is why the Great Wilderness is blessed by the human race's fortune and has been protected by the contingency plans left by several Heavenly Emperors.

Otherwise, if Heaven were to send out any ancestral god at will, it could wipe out all human descendants!
Although Yu Qi, Qing Yan, and the others were all descendants of the Heavenly Emperor, it was the first time they faced such a supreme being as the Ancestral God.

My heart still trembled, and a sense of despair, which I could never overcome, suddenly surfaced.

Because these three towering figures had already mastered the power of a certain law to its fullest extent.

It is almost impossible for those who come later to surpass them.

"Billions of gods, hundreds of thousands of celestial beings, and three thousand ancestral gods—is this the foundation of Heaven?"

Lu Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, his expression indifferent.

Compared to the other Great Wilderness prodigies who looked ashen and whose Dao hearts were wavering, he was clearly unaffected.

"Little brat, aren't you scared?"

Someone tugged at Lu Yuan's sleeve and asked in a low voice.

Lu Yuan turned his head and saw that the person was none other than Jiang Ya, the little girl he had met once before.

She only reached Lu Yuan's chest, but because she was a few years older than him, she kept calling him "little brat."

"The path of cultivation is inherently defying the heavens and taking one's life from the heavens."

"We cultivators have never even feared the will of Heaven, so why should we fear the so-called ancestral gods?"

Lu Yuan said calmly.

He has gone through many reincarnations, experiencing countless storms and calamities.

Let alone the three ancestral gods, even if the Heavenly Emperor himself came, he would at most only give them a second glance.

"That makes sense, you do have a point."

Although Jiang Ya is unruly, she is exceptionally intelligent.

Upon hearing Lu Yuan's words, he nodded as if he had understood something.

Upon hearing this, the other geniuses of the Great Wilderness also seemed to awaken from a dream, as if they had broken through a mental barrier.

Lu Yuan is right.

The ancestral gods, powerful enough to occupy the positions of the gods of law, made it almost impossible for later generations to see any hope of surpassing them.

But these Qi cultivators are essentially fighting against the heavens for their lives.

If they blindly believe in fate and destiny, then why bother with all their hard work in cultivation? They might as well just stay home and sleep all day.

"Hahaha, what a defying-the-heaven act!"

"Young friend, you are right. A few mere ancestral gods who have been eating corpses and holding their positions without doing any work, how dare they speak presumptuously about the will of Heaven?"

The Imperial Tutor laughed loudly, then soared into the sky, single-handedly blocking the three Ancestral Gods.

at the same time.

With a wave of his sleeve, Lu Yuan and the others were thrown into the air and landed in the distant, desolate ancient forest.

"Go ahead, I'll try my best to buy you some time."

"Take care, Imperial Tutor!"

Lu Yuan bowed again before turning and walking into the ancient forest.

But he had only taken two steps when Ji Chen and his group of geniuses from the Great Wilderness suddenly rushed toward him.

"What do you want?"

Lu Yuan paused, and asked in a deep voice.

He had no connection with Ji Chen and the others.

Previously, it was only out of consideration for the fact that we are both descendants of the human race that I used [Heaven's Will] to help the Great Wilderness repel the army of the Great Court Clan.

But if Ji Chen and the others have ulterior motives towards him, then he can't be blamed for being ruthless.

What Lu Yuan didn't expect was...

As soon as Ji Chen came up, he took out a bottle of pills and stuffed it into Lu Yuan's hand.

"You, what is this...?"

Lu Yuan was stunned.

Even though the elixir was contained in a jade bottle, it still emitted a dazzling light, clearly indicating its extreme value.

"Brother Lu Yuandao has an extraordinary character, which makes us feel ashamed of our own inferiority."

"We were blind and offended you before. Please forgive us, Brother Lu."

Ji Chen cupped his hands in a respectful bow and offered a solemn apology.

As a leading figure among the younger generation in the Great Wilderness, he may be arrogant, but he is not a fool.

Even a powerful figure like Yu Xiong, who had just ascended to the Ascension Realm, had to go to great lengths to befriend Lu Yuan.

If he were to have another falling out with Lu Yuan at this point, wouldn't that be courting death?

The other prodigies of the Great Wilderness clearly understood the implications and apologized to Lu Yuan.

Qingyan gritted his teeth and took out an ancient treasure to apologize to Lu Yuan.

“Brother Lu Yuandao, I was blinded by greed before and dared to covet the Ice and Fire Spirit Silkworm in your possession. I deserve to die.”

As Qingyan spoke, his face was full of pain as he held a flowerpot in his hands and presented it to Lu Yuan.

The flowerpot's surface is decorated with intricate patterns, allowing it to absorb and refine the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Putting everything else aside, this flowerpot alone is a rare treasure.

Moreover, the soil in the flowerpot was distinct, with each grain displaying a vibrant array of colors, as dazzling as jade and agate.

And in the soil, there was also a young mulberry seedling.

The fire mulberry tree was blood red, its crimson branches and leaves resembling a burning flame, radiating extremely powerful law energy.

This is none other than a primordial spiritual tree!
However, this innate nature is not the same as that innate nature.

Unlike the gods and demons who were born before heaven and earth.

The so-called innate spiritual wood refers to wood that existed in ancient times and contains complete traces of laws and principles.

After all, the laws of later generations were created and modified by the heavens, and they are very different from the laws of the ancient times.

But even so.

The value of this mulberry seedling is still immeasurable, even slightly surpassing that of the hibiscus leaf that Lu Yuan obtained back then.

Although the Fusang Divine Leaf is rare, it is ultimately just a leaf. How can it compare to a complete innate spiritual tree?
Upon seeing this Fire Mulberry Spirit Tree, all the geniuses of the Great Wilderness felt a complex mix of emotions.

not long ago.

In their eyes, Lu Yuan was still just an unsophisticated, somewhat talented, and nameless boy.

But now.

As the most outstanding prodigy of the Fuxi clan, Qingyan personally presented Lu Yuan with a primordial spiritual tree, looking quite uneasy, as if afraid that Lu Yuan would not accept it.

This stark contrast in their circumstances left them with a complex mix of emotions, while also a sense of relief.

Fortunately, they did not have any real conflict with Lu Yuan.

Otherwise, not only them, but also the tribes and clans behind them might be plunged into utter destruction! (End of Chapter)
