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

Three months later.

Worry-Free City, inside the City Lord's Mansion.

Lu Yuan exhaled a breath of stale air, slowly opened his eyes, and looked slightly tired.

However, when he saw the core of the territory floating in front of him, a smile appeared on his face.

"After three months, the fusion is finally complete."

The fist-sized, rhomboid crystal had an ancient gate pattern imprinted in its very center.

This gate is permeated with powerful spatial law fluctuations, as if connecting to all the heavens and worlds, capable of teleporting the simulator to any plane.

This is the Gate to Myriad Realms that Lu Yuan obtained from the will of the heavens.

Of course, this is just a mark, not the true form of the Gate to All Realms.

Next to the pattern of the Gate of All Realms, there are also five law marks.

The Supreme Law of Reincarnation!

Supreme Law of Power!

The Supreme Law of Time!

The supreme law of cause and effect!

Supreme Chaos Law!

The five supreme laws were perfectly integrated with the core of the territory, directly replacing the laws of heaven and earth and becoming the rules and order of this fiefdom.

"boom!"

At the very moment of successful fusion.

The core of the territory soared into the sky and hovered above Worry-Free City.

An unparalleled, terrifying pressure erupted from within it, spreading in all directions.

The light curtain formed by the core of the territory could only cover an area of ​​several dozen miles.

However, after integrating the five supreme laws...

The light emanating from the core of the territory was more than a hundred times stronger than before.

Its divine light was so dazzling that it could not be looked at directly.

Like a great sun, it dispelled all darkness and illuminated the night sky as if it were daytime.

Moreover, as the core of the territory shone brightly, the protective array formed by the light curtain also expanded rapidly.

Where the light curtain passes.

Before any of the dark creatures could even scream, they were evaporated into black smoke and dissipated into the air.

Wherever the sun and moon shine, it is all the king's land.

Within the king's land, all are his subjects!
A hundred miles!

A thousand miles!

Five thousand miles!
In the end, within just a few breaths, the maximum range that the city-protecting formation could cover reached a terrifying ten thousand miles!

It is known that an area of ​​10,000 li in radius is approximately equal to 80 million square kilometers.

The Xia Kingdom, where Lu Yuan lived in his previous life, only covered an area of ​​960 million square kilometers.

This also means.

Lu Yuan's fiefdom alone is as large as eight Xia Kingdoms!
What is this concept?
The larger the fiefdom, the stronger the simulator.

Like other newly promoted kings, their fiefdoms are only a hundred miles in circumference.

However, Lu Yuan's fiefdom was ten thousand times larger than that of other kings!
If this gets out, probably no one will believe it.

"A fiefdom spanning thousands of miles?"

Inside the City of No Worries.

Looking at the core of the territory, which was as dazzling as the sun.

Shi Tao and the King of Wuwei were all horrified and couldn't help but gasp.

They knew Lu Yuan was strong, but they didn't know exactly how strong he was.

Until this moment.

They finally had a direct understanding of Lu Yuan's strength!

at the same time.

As the territory expanded, the fate of countless people was completely rewritten.

Worry-free city.

Two thousand miles away.

A team consisting of dozens of simulators and thousands of ordinary people huddled together inside a ritual array, trembling with fear.

in recent years.

The dark creatures grew increasingly rampant, and many cities fell one after another.

They were survivors from other cities who wanted to band together and travel thousands of miles to Worry-Free City, hoping to receive its protection.

But their supplies were exhausted, and this ritual array was their last refuge.

Once the great formation is breached, everyone will perish.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Under the frenzied onslaught of dark creatures.

The great array of light became increasingly dim and cracked, as if it might shatter at any moment.

"Oh no, the great formation is about to be breached!"

The group huddled together, weeping uncontrollably, their hearts filled with fear and despair.

Through the transparent light curtain, as thin as a cicada's wing, they could even see the sharp fangs of the dark creatures and the saliva constantly dripping from their mouths.

"Mom, are we going to die tonight?"

"Before I die, can I eat that half-eaten bun?"

A pale and thin five-year-old girl, curled up in the arms of a frail woman, asked timidly.

"Pah, pah, pah, silly child, don't say such unlucky things."

The thin woman managed a smile through her pale face.

Although she said that, her hands were still trembling as she took half a steamed bun from her bosom and handed it to the little girl.

"thanks Mom."

The little girl swallowed hard, overjoyed as if it were New Year's Day, and immediately took it with both hands.

The half-eaten bun was filthy, covered in dirt and dust, and as hard as a brick.

But the little girl ate very carefully and attentively, not letting go of even a single crumb, as if she were savoring some extremely rare delicacy.

"Mom, you eat too."

The little girl took two big bites, then brought the steamed bun to the thin woman's lips and said very obediently.

"Woooooooo..."

"It's my fault, I shouldn't have brought you into this world."

"If there is a next life, my dear, you must be reborn into a good family."

Seeing her daughter's well-behaved and sensible appearance, the thin woman's eyes reddened, and she could no longer hold back, sobbing uncontrollably while holding the little girl.

"Don't cry, Mommy, Mommy is the best..."

The little girl was at a loss, thinking that she had done something wrong to make her mother so sad. She hurriedly raised her little hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of the thin woman's eyes.

But the frail woman's tears welled up and became even more torrential.

Those around who witnessed this scene also sighed helplessly.

In the dark apocalypse, life is as worthless as grass.

They've seen far too many things like this, and it happens countless times every day.

"lie!"

"Worry-Free City is a lie; we've all been deceived!"

"In this cruel and ruthless dark world, there is no carefree paradise; it's all a lie!"

Some people had a mental breakdown, crying and roaring.

The dozens of simulators were also pale-faced, frantically pouring spiritual energy into the great formation, trying to keep the light barrier going for a little longer.

However, under the onslaught of countless dark creatures, even the great cities guarded by the blazing sun overlord could not be defended.

Not to mention their incomplete ritual array.

It didn't take long.

The great array of light barriers could no longer withstand the strain, and like a shattered mirror, its surface appeared riddled with cracks. Finally, with a soft 'crack', it shattered completely.

The great formation has fallen.

Endless dark creatures surged in from all directions, like a river bursting its banks, threatening to engulf and devour everyone.

Looking at those hideous and terrifying monsters, the little girl trembled with fear, curled up in the thin woman's arms, and closed her eyes tightly.

Seeing this, the others looked on in despair, gave up all struggle and resistance, and stayed where they were, waiting for death to come.

But right now.

The sun hung high in the sky, its light blazing brightly.

It made them feel a long-lost warmth!

Those dark creatures, however, were like ghosts under the blazing sun; they let out a scream in an instant and were evaporated into black smoke.

Then a dazzling light curtain expanded from afar, enveloping everyone within it.

They were inside the light screen, feeling warm all over, as if they were soaking in a hot spring, and all their fatigue and fear disappeared.

"Is that the direction of Worry-Free City?"

"Great, we are finally saved!"

Overjoyed, the crowd wept tears of joy and erupted in a thunderous cheer.

Although they didn't know what had happened in Worry-Free City, they couldn't understand why Worry-Free City, which was two thousand miles away, would emit such a strong light.

But they only know a little bit.

That means they all survived and no longer have to fear death and darkness!

"Mom, is this heaven?"

Hearing the noise, the little girl cautiously opened her eyes, raised her face, and asked in confusion.

"Yes, we've finally arrived in heaven."

A genuine smile appeared on the pale face of the thin woman.

Once they reached Worry-Free City, they would no longer have to suffer from hunger.

And there is also clean water, fluffy and soft bread, and stable housing and work.

In that time, everyone will be able to support themselves and live in peace and contentment.

If this isn’t heaven, then what is?
Similar scenes are playing out repeatedly within a radius of thousands of miles.

A group of survivors is struggling to resist the attacks of dark creatures.

Some Simulators fought valiantly, but were severely wounded and on the verge of death, about to become food for the dark creatures.

There are also many border cities that have long been abandoned by the Great Yan royal family, and most of the simulators have already left.

Only a few weak simulators and millions of ordinary people remained in the city, waiting to die.

However, as the entire surrounding area was incorporated into Lu Yuan's fiefdom, all the dark creatures were exterminated without exception.

Those ordinary people and simulators who survived the [Undead Catastrophe] instantly became Lu Yuan's most devout followers!
"Only 700 million more people?"

With the core of the territory, Lu Yuan could instantly know all the information within the fiefdom.

When he saw that there were only 700 million survivors within a radius of 10,000 miles, he couldn't help but shake his head.

Although 700 million people sounds like a lot.

But it should be noted that his fiefdom was larger than eight Xia kingdoms combined.

Except for Worry-Free City.

In such a vast fiefdom, there was only a mere 700 million people.

From this point alone.

This clearly demonstrates just how dire the current situation is and how devastating the civilian casualties are.

"It seems that not only Jiangcheng, but most of the Southern Region has been abandoned by the Great Yan royal family."

Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow, vaguely guessing the Great Yan royal family's thoughts.

in his perception.

Within a radius of ten thousand miles, nine out of ten cities are deserted.

Those simulators with connections, along with ordinary people, have long since left this place for more prosperous and powerful cities.

Only the vast majority of ordinary people remained, waiting to die in the empty city.

However, the Great Yan territory is vast and boundless, and also contains countless secret realms and small worlds.

Even if we give up the entire Southern Region, it's just a drop in the ocean, not even enough to seriously damage it.

"If this continues, the Southern Region will become a pawn to be discarded, and the situation will inevitably become more and more chaotic."

A sense of urgency arose in Lu Yuan's heart.

The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility.

The more territory one occupies, the more responsibility one must assume.

But now, kings have been enfeoffed and each occupies a territory.

The Great Yan Empire was preoccupied with its own problems, so how could it have the resources to manage those border territories?

Therefore, it was only a matter of time before the Southern Region was abandoned.

"Let's focus on managing Worry-Free City first. Once we have enough manpower, it's not too late to expand our fiefdom."

"As for the Trial of the Chosen, there's no time to lose. I should also make a trip to the martial arts world."

Thinking of this, Lu Yuan immediately handed over all matters to Wuxin to handle.

How to resettle refugees, how to rationally plan the urban layout and development direction, and how to obtain sufficient food and resources.

There's also the issue of food, clothing, and daily necessities for 1.9 billion people, and how to minimize resource consumption and maximize the value of all the population.

Each and every task here could kill a lot of brain cells for a top-tier executive.

Moreover, it is further enhanced by the supreme law of time.

The flow of time within Lu Yuan's fiefdom is more than three hundred times faster than in the outside world.

They achieved true access to the outside world for one day, and were confined to the territory for one year.

This has led to constant changes within Worry-Free City, with various unpredictable changes occurring at any moment.

Even if Lu Yuan could manage, it would take a huge amount of time and energy, leaving him with very little time for cultivation.

Fortunately, Wuxin had been baptized by the will of the heavens and was able to continue to grow, making it arguably the most advanced artificial intelligence in the main world.

With unintentional assistance.

Lu Yuan doesn't need to worry about these trivial matters at all, and can focus all his energy and time on improving his strength without any worries.

After all, strength is the greatest reliance and support.

Without sufficient strength to protect all of this, no matter how well Worry-Free City is built, it will be in vain.

They are all just castles in the air, illusions, easily shattered.

"Master, you've just returned and you're leaving again? Can't you get some rest?"

Wuxin pouted and tugged at Lu Yuan's arm, feeling very sorry for him and not wanting him to be so tired.

"The situation in the main world is deteriorating rapidly, and I must seize the time to improve my strength."

Lu Yuan was also somewhat helpless.

Since becoming a simulator, he has been like a wound-up toy, constantly busy cultivating or reincarnating in another world, without a moment's rest.

Even with his current strength, he couldn't help but feel a little tired.

This fatigue doesn't come from the body, but from the mind.

But he dared not stop, nor could he stop.

Because he has gone through six reincarnations, it also means that the fate of six simulated worlds and billions of living beings is in his hands.

If he relaxes his guard in the slightest, I fear these worlds will be invaded by darkness and plunged into darkness forever.

Moreover, the path of cultivation is like rowing against the current; if you don't advance, you fall behind.

He would rather work harder and put in more effort.

They didn't want to wait until the last minute, only to find themselves powerless and forced to watch helplessly as their loved ones died one after another.

He ultimately spent the rest of his life in regret and self-blame.

"I should get going. Keep an eye on Worry-Free City. I'll be back soon."

Lu Yuan gave detailed instructions.

Then, under the gaze of someone who was unwilling to part with him.

He transformed into a streak of light and re-entered the simulation space. (End of Chapter)
