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

"Give me a four-star world?"

Simulated space.

Lu Yuan was stunned for a moment when he heard this.

But then a smile appeared on his face, and he understood the old man's intention.

Without a powerful figure in charge, the Jiang family is declining day by day and could be destroyed at any time.

under these circumstances.

Instead of clinging to their family business, they were devoured by other giants.

It would be better to take this opportunity to hand over all the family business to Lu Yuan, thus firmly clinging to his coattails.

From now on, there will be no need to worry about threats from various powers!

"Old Master Jiang is quite bold; he even gave away a four-star world without hesitation."

"Please tell Grandpa Jiang that I accept this generous gift."

Lu Yuan sighed.

This is the benefit of increased strength.

Just one sentence.

He doesn't even need to show his face in person to gain a four-star world!
Sikong Xi was also very envious of this.

This is a four-star world, a rich foundation accumulated by the Jiang family over generations.

Even though the Sikong family was known as having two true kings in one family.

But for Sikong Xi and his group, this was also an immeasurable fortune.

"Alright, I'm going to start the Chosen Trial now. I'll treat you to a meal another time."

Lu Yuan was in a good mood and offered Sikong Xi a promise.

"Really?"

Upon hearing this, Sikong Xi almost jumped up from her chair in excitement.

Although she knew Lu Yuan was just making empty promises, she couldn't resist how tempting they were!

Do it all.

With a slight thought, Lu Yuan activated the World Imprint and immediately began the Trial of the Chosen One.

next moment.

The simulated mark on his hand suddenly emitted an incomparably dazzling light.

The dazzling light enveloped Lu Yuan, instantly transporting him to another world.

When Lu Yuan came to his senses...

They discovered that he was standing in outer space.

Beneath his feet lay a devastated planet, ravaged and shrouded in smoke.

That planet was old and desolate, like an old man on his deathbed, exuding a strong aura of death.

"Is this the world of martial arts?"

Looking at the planet, Lu Yuan's joy vanished, replaced by a heavy heart.

Unlike the previous simulations.

This time, he is undergoing the Trial of the Chosen Ones, and his true form has descended, allowing him to unleash his full power.

Therefore, he only needs to scan with his divine sense to easily obtain all the information.

On that planet.

Sparsely populated and ravaged by ferocious beasts.

Everywhere there were broken walls and piles of bones.

Scattered among the dilapidated and desolate ruins are some scattered survivor bases.

It was completely different from the prosperous martial arts world he remembered.

"Has that seventh-tier anomaly already appeared?"

Lu Yuan turned around to look.

They discovered that the burning sun in the distance had gone out, and now it looked like a large lump of coal hanging in the sky, constantly emitting black smoke.

In fact, it's not just that sun.

The other stars in the solar system also became dim and lost their light.

It was cold and lifeless, devoid of any vitality, as if all its energy had been taken away.

Besides.

Lu Yuan also discovered numerous human bases and the remains of martial artists on these planets.

Many of the remains, even after so many years, still gleam with a faint golden light and exude a terrifying pressure.

Reborn from a drop of blood, the golden body remains indestructible.

Clearly, the opponent has a profound understanding of the martial arts of qi and blood, and has already reached the eighth-grade Golden Body Realm!
"It seems that after I left, the martial arts world also experienced a brief period of glory, and a large number of geniuses and strongmen emerged."

Lu Yuan used his divine sense to carefully scan all the base ruins, and from a large amount of remaining data and information, he learned what had happened after he left.

Before he finished the simulation, he used his talent "Heaven Rewards Diligence" to create a Qi and Blood Martial Arts cultivation system on his own.

Despite being limited by his experience and knowledge, Lu Yuan's creation of Qi and Blood Martial Arts was still in its infancy.

Over the long years, through the refinement of generations of successors, the Qi and Blood Martial Arts has been greatly developed and is in no way inferior to the cultivation methods of those higher planes.

Moreover, Lu Yuan successfully promoted the dimensional advancement of the martial arts world, reviving the spiritual energy of Blue Star and greatly increasing the upper limit of Qi and Blood Martial Arts.

Due to a combination of factors.

This also led to the vigorous development of Qi and Blood Martial Arts, ushering in a golden age.

That was the most prosperous time in the martial arts world.

Geniuses abound, and strong individuals emerge in great numbers.

There are dozens of ninth-grade peak experts alone.

As for those with eighth-grade golden bodies and seventh-grade grandmasters, there are countless of them.

Not only that.

Before Lu Yuan returned to the main world, he passed on all his cultivation to Tao Yaoyao through a ritual of empowerment.

When the Qi and Blood Martial Arts ushered in its golden age, Tao Yaoyao was also the first to step into the tenth-grade True King Realm, becoming the undisputed number one powerhouse in the Qi and Blood Martial Arts!
Unfortunately, the martial arts world is incomplete. Even with Tao Yaoyao using all the power of the human race to desperately repair the world's origin, it could only barely reach the level of a five-star plane.

The ceiling combat power in the five-star plane is at most equivalent to a fifth-tier Sun Overlord.

But that strange creature was at the seventh level, with strength comparable to a king-level giant.

How could Tao Yaoyao possibly be a match for that strange seventh-tier beast?
Therefore, with the strange awakening, the brief glory of the martial arts world vanished like a dream.

This is why Tao Yaoyao disregarded the cost and, with Jiang Yue's help, burned her very essence in a final battle.

It severely damaged the seventh-tier monster that had just awakened and had not yet recovered its full strength.

Otherwise, even if that seventh-tier monster only recovers 30% of its strength, the entire martial arts world will cease to exist.

“Yaoyao has done her best. If I didn’t have god-level talent, I might not have been able to do better than her.”

Lu Yuan extended his divine sense and carefully scanned every corner of the solar system again, but he still could not sense Tao Yaoyao's aura.

This made him feel increasingly heavy-hearted, with a vague sense of foreboding.

"Could it be that Yao Yao has already perished?"

Lu Yuan's heart skipped a beat, and the scene of the two of them parting years ago involuntarily surfaced in his mind.

Peach blossoms are in full bloom on Mount Emei.

The teary-eyed girl cried as she told Lu Yuan that she would wait for his return no matter if it took a hundred years, a thousand years, or ten thousand years.

Yet, thousands of years can pass in the blink of an eye.

When he returned to his old haunts, he found that everything had changed.

"Ten thousand years have passed since I ended the simulation in the martial arts world, while the fifth-order Blazing Sun only has a lifespan of a few thousand years."

"Moreover, Yaoyao's source was exhausted. Even if she could barely survive the battle back then, she wouldn't be alive now."

Lu Yuan's face was grim, and he felt a pang of guilt.

If anything were to happen to Yao Yao, all the dark monsters in this world would be buried with her!
"Wait, why have Jiang Yue and that strange seventh-tier aura also disappeared?"

Lu Yuan suddenly felt a slight stirring in his heart, as if he had sensed something.

As an invincible king, his powerful divine sense can cover the entire star field in an instant.

But in his perception...

Although many mutated and bizarre creatures remain in this realm, no trace of that seventh-tier strange being has ever been found. Moreover...

Even the ancient palace on the moon and the girl sleeping in the ice coffin vanished without a trace, as if they had evaporated from this world.

"It seems that there are some things happening in the martial arts world that I am unaware of."

Think of this.

Lu Yuan took a step forward, and as if traveling through time and space, he instantly appeared in a survivor base on Blue Star.

Jiangnan base city.

One of the nine remaining bases for humankind.

Although it's called a base, it's actually a megacity with tens of millions of people.

An ancient formation in the city center erected a light curtain, enveloping the entire base.

These formations are ingeniously designed, and their runes blaze with intense light.

It can defend against the invasion of strange creatures while blocking most of the radiation of dark energy.

Furthermore, the power of the formation flowed.

It has a sense of weight and vicissitude that has been accumulated over the years, which is obviously related to the ancient Qi cultivation civilization.

If Lu Yuan wasn't mistaken, this should be the work of Jiang Yue.

But even so.

The strange energy radiation of a seventh-order being is something that an ancient formation cannot completely block.

In the area surrounding the base city, a large number of survivors still showed varying degrees of mutation.

Their bodies are deformed, their limbs are twisted, they are riddled with diseases, and their rationality oscillates between madness and lucidity, making them prone to losing control at any moment.

It can be said.

Every person with severe aberrations is a mobile pathogen and a time bomb.

They were like rats living in the gutter, only able to hide on the outermost edge of the base, surviving by scavenging.

In addition to constantly guarding against attacks from strange creatures, they also have to hide their whereabouts.

Otherwise, if they were discovered by the Dawn Church's guards, their fate would be no better than becoming bizarre food.

In a certain abandoned and filthy sewer, the air was so foul that a normal person would suffocate after staying there for a short time, and even lower creatures like rats and lizards did not want to stay there for long.

In particular, such a damp and dirty environment is a natural breeding ground for germs.

However, Lu Yuan only needed to scan with his divine sense to discover that there were actually quite a few tents made of wood and rags in these sewers located deep underground.

Inside one of the tents, a heart-wrenching cough could be heard, as if the person was coughing up their heart.

There was a gaunt old man with a deformed body, curled up on the wooden board, tightly hugging himself, as if he was enduring some unbearable pain.

Beside him was a five- or six-year-old boy with protruding eyes and a head that was noticeably larger than normal.

He was patting the old man's back helplessly, trying to ease the old man's pain.

"Grandpa, are you okay?"

“You haven’t eaten for two days. I have a piece of dried lizard here. Eat it quickly.”

The little boy took out a piece of dried lizard and said in a tearful voice.

“Hong’er, Grandpa is about to die, there’s no need to waste any more food.”

"You should hurry and take this token to Wuji City. They will protect all the students of the martial arts school, and they might even cure your illness."

The gaunt old man coughed up two mouthfuls of black blood, forced himself to sit up, and took out another one from his pocket, handing it to the boy.

The token was about half the size of an adult's palm, made entirely of metal, and had the character '武' (martial) engraved on its surface with intricate patterns.

The back of the token is engraved with the character '极', which together form the characters '武极' (Wu Ji).

Although the gaunt old man was covered in filth, the token looked brand new, clearly indicating that the old man valued it highly.

Upon seeing the token, Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow and immediately appeared in the sewer.

"Are you a disciple of my Wuji Dojo?"

Lu Yuan said in a deep voice.

The old man and the child were both startled by the sudden appearance of a living person.

However, when the withered old man saw Lu Yuan's face clearly, he was immediately shocked, his eyes widening as if he had seen something unbelievable.

"You, you are... Lord Martial Ancestor?"

The emaciated old man was excited, his mind having suffered an unprecedented shock, to the point that he temporarily forgot the intense pain emanating from his body.

"You recognize me?"

Lu Yuan never expected that after ten thousand years, someone would still remember him.

Moreover, he sensed a familiar aura in the old man's bloodline.

Could this gaunt old man before us be a descendant of someone from back then?
"There's no mistake, even though the Church of Dawn strictly forbids anyone from mentioning anything related to the Martial Arts Academy."

“But when I was young, I saw a portrait of the Martial Ancestor in my grandfather’s secret room. You look exactly like the portrait. You are the Martial Ancestor!”

The gaunt old man became more and more excited as he spoke, like a devout believer seeing the god he worshipped, his dull eyes shining with an unprecedented light.

next moment.

Suddenly, a surge of strength appeared from nowhere, and he managed to struggle to his feet from the wooden plank, attempting to bow to Lu Yuan.

"Disciple Wu Hai greets the Martial Ancestor..."

The gaunt old man, with tears welling in his eyes, knelt down on one knee in front of Lu Yuan.

"Wu Hai? You are a descendant of the Wu family of Cangzhou?"

Lu Yuan's expression shifted slightly, and he finally understood the old man's identity.

Back then, he went south to discuss martial arts, attempting to challenge martial arts schools from all over the country.

Our first stop was the Cangzhou Bajiquan Martial Arts Academy.

This old man was clearly a descendant of Grandmaster Wu Hongsheng.

"Since he is a descendant of an old friend, I should save his life."

Lu Yuan was about to ask.

But the old man's injuries were too severe; he was on his last legs. Just as he knelt on the ground, his body suddenly stiffened, and he collapsed straight down.

"Grandpa, what's wrong? Grandpa, don't die..."

The boy hurriedly lay on top of the old man, shaking him repeatedly in an attempt to wake him up again.

But as soon as the old man fell to the ground, his body became very stiff, and his skin kept bulging and rolling, as if a rat was crawling inside him.

His limbs became increasingly deformed, and a cracking sound was heard, as if some terrible mutation was about to occur!

"Oh no! Quickly throw Old Wu's body out."

"He has been corrupted by dark energy and is about to be deformed into a bizarre creature."

"Once he completes his transformation, we will all die here!"

Upon hearing the boy's cries, many people rushed out of the tent, attempting to snatch Old Wu's body.

"Lord Martial Ancestor, please, please save my grandfather."

The boy was terrified by the scene and could only grab Lu Yuan's arm as if it were his last lifeline, pleading desperately.

"Don't worry, with me here, your grandfather won't die."

Lu Yuan gently patted the boy's head and comforted him softly.

Followed by.

His body suddenly emitted a dazzling divine light, like a great sun, illuminating the entire sewer as brightly as day.

Faced with this blinding light, all the severely deformed individuals burst into tears and couldn't help but close their eyes.

Under the illumination of this light.

The emaciated old man, who had been thought to have passed away, suddenly opened his eyes, gasped for breath in the murky air, and miraculously came back to life.

Not only that.

He and all the severely deformed individuals bathed in the intense light felt warm all over, as if they were soaking in a hot spring.

Their deformed bodies were restored to normal.

Their confused reason returned to clarity.

At this moment.

All the dark energy and disease within them were expelled, and they returned to normal! (End of Chapter)
