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

Zhenhuang City.

The atmosphere in the city lord's hall was extremely somber.

"Gentlemen, now that the Great Wilderness has launched an invasion, does anyone have a good plan?"

A burly, middle-aged man in heavy armor sat in the main seat of the hall, scanning the crowd with his eyes and asking in a low voice.

This man is none other than Ting Yanzong, the strongest warrior in the Great Court Kingdom!

He once claimed that he could rival the body of a god with the strength of a mortal.

However, since the dramatic changes in the environment, his strength has also declined considerably, and he is no longer as powerful as before.

Hear this.

The generals and powerful figures below the main hall looked at each other, unsure how to respond for a long time.

If it were any other time...

Upon hearing the news of the Great Wilderness Rebellion, they were undoubtedly more excited than the last, even willing to resort to physical violence, just to seize a chance to fight.

Because every time a rebellion is quelled, it represents military achievements and immense wealth.

but now.

The strength of the Great Wilderness Human Race is now vastly different from what it used to be. If they were to step forward at this time, what difference would it make from sending themselves to their deaths?
"Reporting to the general, these remnants of the Great Wilderness are coming with great force, and with a Human Emperor in charge, they are far beyond our ability to defeat."

"In my humble opinion, we should temporarily avoid the enemy's advance, retreat to Youzhou territory, and then make further plans."

One of the commanders stammered and hesitated for a long time before finally speaking.

Upon hearing this, most of the generals were quite moved.

Anyone with eyes can see that.

The Great Court is now in its twilight years, and even if they hold the city to the death, it will be difficult to change the overall situation.

Moreover, why should those princes and nobles be able to indulge in nightly revelry and debauchery in the capital?

These people are destined to guard this cold and desolate place year after year.

Before, at least I could earn military merits, so I could just put up with it.

But now that we know things are hopeless, who would want to stay here and wait to die?

"You want me to abandon Zhenhuang City?"

Ting Yanzong's eyes turned cold, and a powerful pressure suddenly erupted.

Everyone felt a tightness in their chest, as if an invisible mountain was pressing down on them, making it extremely difficult for them to breathe.

The commander who suggested retreat was crushed into a bloody pulp by this oppressive force before he could even scream.

"Zhenhuang City is the gateway to our Great Court and the most important city in the world."

"Once this city falls, the remnants of the Great Wilderness will advance unimpeded, and no one will be able to stop them."

"This person spreads heresies and misleads the public; his entire family should be executed as a warning to others!"

Ting Yanzong slowly stood up and coldly surveyed the crowd.

In the candlelight, his imposing figure cast a shadow on the ground, making everyone hold their breath; the atmosphere was incredibly oppressive.

"By my order, anyone who undermines the morale of the army shall be executed!"

"Those who flee without a fight, shall be killed!"

"Those who harbor evil intentions shall be killed!"

"Martial law is in effect throughout the city. We will fight to the last man and the last soldier, and no one will be allowed to flee!"

Ting Yanzong's murderous intent was chilling, sending shivers down everyone's spines.

"My lord, this... this might incite a mutiny in the army..."

Everyone trembled, unable to suppress their inner curses.

Ting Yanzong is a madman. He wants to die, so don't drag them down with him.

You must know that the Great Wilderness Emperor once cleaved the heavens with a single sword strike, forcing even the Heavenly Dao to retreat.

How could these nobodies possibly be a match for Lu Yuan?

As if he could read everyone's mind, Ting Yanzong sneered and spoke again.

"Gentlemen, don't you understand?"

"With that young emperor's strength, he could easily wipe out the entire Great Kingdom."

"But he did not do that. Instead, he mobilized a large army and used all the power of the Great Wilderness to attack us."

"This move is nothing more than using us as a whetstone to ignite the fighting spirit and will to fight of the Great Wilderness Human Race."

This statement came out.

The crowd's expressions changed slightly, and they fell into a long silence.

Ting Yanzong is right.

The conflict between the Great Court Kingdom and the Great Wilderness has long been irreconcilable, with no room for reconciliation, and can only end with the destruction of one side.

Whether they surrender or fight to the death, the outcome was already predetermined.

Moreover, the heavenly path is severed, and the gods of heaven cannot descend to the mortal realm.

The entire Great Wilderness World is under Lu Yuan's control. So what if they escape to the ends of the earth?
"Now that things have come to this, we have no choice but to fight to the death."

"Since he wants to use us as a whetstone, we'll defy his wishes!"

Everyone sighed heavily and accepted this reality.

It's not just them.

Upon learning of this, the entire Great Kingdom reacted in the same way.

This massive war machine, driven by a resolute determination to destroy everything, began to operate at full capacity.

Zhenhai Army, Imperial Guard, Zhenwu Division...

One after another, fierce and powerful armies converged from all directions and headed to Zhenhuang City in the shortest possible time.

These were all elite troops of the Great Court, each of which was capable of sweeping across the land and had made great achievements in battle.

However, their hands are also stained with the blood of countless humans, and now they are determined to fight to the death against the Great Wilderness!
half a month later.

Lu Yuan and 300,000 Qi Refiners traveled 100,000 li and finally saw a magnificent city appear in the mountains ahead.

This colossal city is vast, flanked by steep, rugged mountains, and occupies the only passage from the Great Wilderness to the Great Court Kingdom.

Above the giant city, the three large characters "Zhenhuang City" were boldly carved in a dragon-and-phoenix style!
Upon seeing this colossal city, many Qi cultivators from the Great Wilderness revealed a deep-seated hatred, as well as a profound sense of dread and fear.

If the Great Wilderness is a cage, then this city is the only exit to the outside world.

For hundreds of thousands of years.

It was through this giant city that the Great Court Kingdom tightly strangled the way out and hope of all the Great Wilderness human races.

This means that for generations to come, they can only live in this cage, unable to step into the outside world for their entire lives.

on the other hand.

Through this city, the Great Kingdom seized countless riches and resources from the Great Wilderness.

It can be said.

All the people of the Great Wilderness hated this city to the core and wished they could raze it to the ground immediately.

In front of Zhenhuang City, millions of troops were already on high alert.

These soldiers were well-trained and exuded a strong aura of killing intent.

The murderous aura emanating from them coalesced into a single entity, almost solidifying, turning the sky above the city blood red.

However, in front of the army stood hundreds of thousands of slaves.

These slaves were ragged, emaciated, and covered in blood and wounds.

Their eyes were lifeless, their hands and feet were shackled, and they had been tortured beyond recognition. Apart from the slight rise and fall of their chests, they were no different from numb walking corpses.

"That son of a bitch, Ting Yanzong, actually used the people of the Great Wilderness as a shield!"

Upon seeing this, Yu Xiong's eyes widened in fury, and he nearly ground his teeth to powder.

The other Qi cultivators from the Great Wilderness clenched their fists tightly, their eyes immediately turning red.

The Kingdom of Da Ting has a long-standing tradition of keeping private slaves.

The people of the Great Wilderness are tall and strong, cheap, and have great endurance, making them very suitable for taming into servants.

Even the imperial court had a special slave-capturing bureau that captured large numbers of slaves from the wilderness every year. This caused countless tribes to be torn apart, families destroyed, and wives and children separated.

At this moment, Ting Yanzong gathered these Great Wilderness slaves together and blocked the front of the army, clearly intending to make Lu Yuan hesitate and not dare to attack them rashly.

Under everyone's gaze.

Lu Yuan stepped forward from the crowd and slowly stood in front of the army, his gaze sweeping over Ting Yanzong and the others with an unwavering calm.

"Is this your Great Court's trump card?"

Outside Zhenhuang City, a scholar in white robes holding a feather fan appeared in everyone's sight.

"I have long heard of Lu Tianjun's reputation, and seeing him today, I can confirm that he is indeed extraordinary."

“In ancient times, my Dating clan was also a descendant of the human race. We are of the same blood and lineage, so why should we kill each other and make ourselves a laughing stock for others?”

The scholar in white swallowed hard, steeling himself to try and offer a final word of persuasion.

But before he could finish speaking, he suddenly exploded into a cloud of blood mist.

Hot blood rained down from the sky, splattering all over the faces of Ting Yanzong and the others.

"Release these slaves and fight a fair and square battle with my Great Wilderness. Perhaps I, Lu, can give you a quick death."

Lu Yuan said calmly, but his tone carried an undeniable air of authority.

"Lu Tianjun, leave some room for maneuver. Do you really intend to fight to the death?"

Ting Yanzong said in a hoarse voice.

"A fight to the death? You think you can take it all?"

Lu Yuan sneered, too lazy to waste words with him, and glanced at Ting Yanzong indifferently.

This time, he held back and pushed his Innate Dao Eye to its limit.

He also wanted to see just how powerful these innate Dao eyes would be.

One could see that deep within Lu Yuan's pupils, there was an innate Daoist aura flowing.

With just one glance, Ting Yanzong felt as if he were facing a formidable enemy, experiencing an unprecedented sense of life-or-death crisis.

next moment.

Accompanied by the 'splashing' sound of flowing river water.

A long river of time stretched out from beyond the heavens and appeared before everyone.

And in the long river of time, there are turbulent waves.

Every drop of river water represents the life of a living being.

Just then, a drop of river water splashed out from the long river of time and fell into the air.

Everyone stared intently, and countless images appeared in that drop of river water.

Born with divine strength, he became famous in the imperial city, his might shook the great wilderness, and he was taken as a disciple by the gods, becoming the strongest warrior in the Great Court...

"hiss!"

"Isn't this Ting Yanzong? Why is all his past here?"

The more they watched, the more horrified they became, until finally their scalps tingled and they felt a chill run down their spines.

Because in just a few breaths, they had seen Tingyanzong's past.

Moreover, they saw everything in great detail, including Ting Yanzong's bedwetting as a child and his private moments during his first visit to a brothel!
As for Ting Yanzong himself, upon seeing that incredibly familiar figure on the screen, he was struck dumb, his face instantly draining of all color.

And among the Great Wilderness army.

Seeing this familiar scene, Li Meng trembled, and a deep fear and awe flashed in her beautiful eyes.

Previously, when she was in Dayu City, she tried to seduce Lu Yuan with her beauty.

Lu Yuan glanced at her, and she felt a sense of dread that all her secrets had been seen through in an instant.

But at the time, she was unaware of what methods Lu Yuan had used.

It wasn't until this moment that she understood what had actually happened!
In a single thought, one can glimpse into another's past.

This bizarre and incomprehensible method far exceeded their comprehension, instilling a profound sense of fear in everyone present.

Moreover, Lu Yuan's public disclosure of all of Ting Yanzong's privacy and secrets is no different from public execution.

"No!"

"You devil, you can't do this!"

When Ting Yanzong saw the footage of his wedding night and the scene of him personally killing the previous Zhenhuang City Lord to seize power being made public.

Even with his immense strength and mental fortitude, he completely collapsed at this moment.

A terrifying aura suddenly erupted from his body, and he soared into the sky, transforming into a rainbow of light that rushed towards the drop of the River of Time, attempting to stop it all.

Unfortunately.

While the other person was still in mid-air, the drop of river water seemed to evaporate, turning into water vapor and disappearing into the air.

Those past scenes, like dreams and bubbles, vanished one after another.

"These images have disappeared?"

Before Tingyanzong could even feel happy, the sense of life-or-death crisis in his heart suddenly intensified to the extreme.

And amidst the horrified gazes of the crowd.

As those images disappeared, Ting Yanzong's own figure gradually faded and vanished.

It was as if an invisible hand was erasing his past, and all traces of his existence, bit by bit!
to the end.

The mighty first combatant of the Great Court, along with that drop of the River of Time, vanished into nothingness, utterly ceasing to exist.

Followed by.

As time passed and everything returned to calm, the river of time flowed away.

But everyone remained standing there, staring blankly at the empty sky, their eyes filled with disbelief.

Tingyanzong is dead?
He died right there in front of everyone, without even the slightest power to resist!

What shocked everyone even more was...

Lu Yuan's unpredictable and bizarre methods are truly beyond comprehension.

After all, it's from their perspective.

Lu Yuan glanced at Ting Yanzong, and then the long river of time appeared before his eyes.

Immediately afterward, a drop of river water evaporated, and Ting Yanzong perished, his past erased from history.

The power of a single glance is terrifying.

In fact.

Not only them, but even the Imperial Tutor was stunned and his emotions were difficult to calm down for a long time.

Because Yu Xiong and his fellow Ascension Realm experts were of low strength and had limited perspectives, even though they witnessed all of this, they did not understand what it meant.

But the Imperial Tutor was different.

He was already the head of the Holy Academy in ancient times, and had discussed the Dao with many Heavenly Venerables. He even personally taught the Qian Yuan Heavenly Emperor.

The technique that Lu Yuan just used was clearly the innate Daoist method that only the innate gods and demons could use in legends.

If the Great Way is like water, then all living beings are like fish living in that water.

But innate gods and demons are different.

They were born before heaven and earth, and are beings on equal footing with the Great Dao. They can transcend the Heavenly Dao and stand high above.

When their power reaches a certain level, they can even use innate divine power to forcibly erase all traces of a being's existence.

This is fundamentally different from erasure.

After all, many powerful deities, even if they are wiped out, have the opportunity to reincarnate and cultivate again, awakening their true spirit from their previous life.

However, Lu Yuan's method was to reverse the flow of time, directly erase all the past, and nip the enemy in the bud.

The Great Way is like water; a single thought can dry it up.

Once this move is used, it can completely erase the enemy's past, present, and future.

This innate Dao technique is so terrifying that even a Heavenly Venerable expert would find it difficult to resist.

Even the mighty Human Emperor was defeated by the innate gods and demons precisely because of this! (End of Chapter)
