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

South Shore District.

In the training room.

As if noticing the confusion in Gu Yao and Xia Qing's eyes, Lu Yuan explained calmly.

"All things in the world lead to the same goal, though they may differ in their paths."

"Martial artists temper their bodies, those with supernatural abilities absorb spiritual energy, and spiritual masters strengthen their souls. Ultimately, all of these are inseparable from the three elements of essence, energy, and spirit."

"Essence, Qi, and Spirit are the foundation of a person. The reason why cultivators are stronger than other professionals of the same level is that they cultivate all three and can unleash unparalleled power."

Lu Yuan spoke succinctly, conveying the essence of cultivation to the two in just a few words.

Upon hearing this, Gu Yao and the other person suddenly understood, feeling as if the clouds had parted to reveal the clear sky.

Lu Yuan is right.

Although each profession is vastly different and seemingly unrelated.

However, to some extent...

Aren't the superpowers of psychics just the spells or supernatural abilities of cultivators?

The mental power of a spiritualist is ultimately very similar to the spiritual consciousness of a cultivator.

Many professionals live their entire lives knowing what to do but not why.

However, even if someone understands this, it is difficult to put it into practice.

After all, human energy is limited.

For ordinary professionals, specializing in just one path throughout their lives requires countless hours and resources. Where would they find the time to improve in other areas?
Therefore.

Although cultivators are powerful, their cultivation speed lags far behind that of other professions.

"No matter how things change, they all ultimately return to their origin and embark on the path of comprehending the laws."

"Because the laws of heaven and earth are the order by which all things in the world operate, and also the source of all extraordinary power."

"With the blessing of the laws of heaven and earth, even the most ordinary superpowers can unleash world-destroying power."

Lu Yuan continued.

The laws of nature are elusive, yet they are also omnipresent.

It can be said.

All cultivation systems gradually evolved from the laws of heaven and earth.

"So what do we do?"

Gu Yao looked puzzled, as if she didn't quite understand.

The laws of heaven and earth are mysterious and profound.

Only fifth- or sixth-tier professionals are qualified to reach this step.

Many low-level professionals have never even heard of it, let alone tried to use it.

Faced with their confusion, Lu Yuan did not answer. Instead, he pointed his fingers like a sword and directly touched Gu Yao's brow.

A finger fell.

The once calm void was suddenly stirred by visible ripples.

Somewhere.

An even more devastating force of slaughter and destruction suddenly descended.

Xia Qing stood to the side, and just being affected by this aura, terrifying scenes of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and hell on earth appeared before her eyes.

Gu Yao, as the person involved, was hit with an unprecedented shock.

It was only because Lu Yuan helped protect her mind that she lost her reason and went mad to her death the moment she came into contact with this killing power!

Under Lu Yuan's control.

All the killing power converged and eventually formed a blood-red law rune deep within Gu Yao's mind.

The rune was as red as blood, exuding a chilling killing intent.

It was clearly formed from pure killing principles!
The moment this killing rune condensed.

Gu Yao broke through realms one after another, her aura soaring, and in the blink of an eye, she went from a second-level martial artist to a genuine fifth-level Lu Chen-level martial artist!
Xia Qing was speechless, completely stunned.

She knew Lu Yuan was strong, but she never imagined he would be so incredibly strong.

In the blink of an eye, a fifth-level martial artist was created.

A celestial being intervened, defying fate and changing destiny!

This is truly the work of a celestial being!
at this moment.

Xia Qing was filled with admiration and awe!
When Lu Yuan withdrew his finger, everything returned to calm.

Gu Yao herself noticed the changes in herself and was overjoyed, jumping up and down with happiness.

Not long ago.

A fifth-tier Lu Chen level martial artist was still a lofty and unattainable figure to her, someone she needed to look up to and revere.

But now, in just a few breaths...

She actually became a fifth-tier Lu Chen level combatant?

The legendary meteoric rise to power is probably nothing more than this, isn't it?
"Ah Yuan, you're so good to me."

Gu Yao was deeply moved, and her eyes welled up with tears.

But what she didn't know was.

In fact, Lu Yuan had left a wisp of divine consciousness inside that Killing Dao Law Rune.

Through this wisp of divine consciousness, he could decide the life or death of the other party in an instant.

After all, we should always be on guard against others.

Moreover, people's hearts can change. Compared to entrusting his safety to the promises of others, he has more faith in his own abilities.

Subsequently.

Lu Yuan then used a few more tricks to help Xia Qing condense a Wind Dao Law Rune as well.

Through this wisp of law power, her supernatural ability increased at least tenfold, enough to easily destroy a large city!
Besides.

Just in case, Lu Yuan left the spirit-powered mecha at home to protect his parents' safety.

This way.

Even if a sixth-tier professional attacks, Gu Yao and her companion, along with this mecha, can easily defeat them!
Do it all.

Lu Yuan stayed home to spend a few days with his parents before bidding them farewell and embarking on his journey to Shenmu Star as part of the support fleet.

……

The skies above Guanghua City.

More than a dozen warships are currently stationed in near-Earth orbit.

These warships are several kilometers long, with streamlined hulls and a strong sense of science fiction.

From a distance, they look like giant star beasts wandering in the universe.

The flagship in particular is tens of thousands of meters long and is equipped with a star-destroying shipborne main cannon. When fully charged, it is powerful enough to destroy a planet!
Several fully armed frigates were also escorting the main ship.

Compared to these massive interstellar warships, the military base in Guanghua City is as small as an ant.

Lu Yuan looked around.

Inside the vast base, hundreds of thousands of conscripted professionals and Astral Army reservists had gathered.

Towering anti-gravity space elevators, tens of thousands of meters high, transported large quantities of supplies and personnel to the warships.

As the battle for Saturn intensified, the Terra Empire no longer cared about the consequences.

They went so far as to forcibly order all nearby planets to immediately dispatch all their fleets to the battlefield to provide support.

This fleet and these professionals represent the last remaining assets of Hulao Star.

If the entire army is wiped out, Hulao Star will be severely weakened and it will take at least several hundred years to recover.

After changing his appearance, Lu Yuan blended into the group and, after passing through numerous tests, finally boarded one of the medium-sized warships via the anti-gravity elevator.

"Welcome to the Tiger Shark frigate, brave and fearless warriors."

"The warships are about to set sail and are expected to arrive at the battlefield on Shenmu Star in five days." "May you all have a safe journey and good fortune in battle. The Star Alliance will remember the contributions and sacrifices of each and every one of you!"

A clear and gentle voice from the artificial quantum computer rang out inside the warship, echoing in everyone's ears.

But when others heard this, they spat on the ground.

"Those damn high-ranking officials in the ruling hall, they're always the first to rush to get any benefits, but now that war has started, all they know is to use us as cannon fodder."

"When I get back, the first thing I'll do is shoot those bastards!"

A middle-aged man with a full beard couldn't help but mutter a curse under his breath.

The other members of the group were also filled with resentment, clearly having been coerced and lured into coming here.

Lu Yuan ignored them, walked through the crowd, and found the rest pod assigned to him by the warship's quantum computer.

Space on a warship is limited, especially in the cramped quarters where ordinary soldiers like him rest.

There were barely four bunk beds inside, and not even a place to put luggage.

Several people had already arrived at the rest pod, but they were all strangers to each other. Some were lying on the bed with their eyes closed, resting, while others were playing games on their handheld computers.

Lu Yuan's bed was on the lower bunk. He threw his luggage on the bed, used it as a pillow, and lay down directly.

"Excuse me, could you please move aside?"

Just then, a thin young man with acne and pimples on his face, who looked like a high school student, squeezed into the lounge.

Upon hearing the somewhat familiar voice, Lu Yuan opened his eyes a crack and glanced at the other person.

However, upon seeing the other person's face, which was both familiar and somewhat unfamiliar, Lu Yuan's expression immediately became very strange.

Isn't this Wang Wei, his junior high school deskmate?

Under normal circumstances, the other person should be in high school, so why is he here?

"Wang Wei seems to be a year older than me. Could it be that he was also drafted into the army?"

Lu Yuan secretly guessed.

So much has happened in this past year.

If he hadn't run into his former junior high school classmate, he would have completely forgotten his age; he should actually still be in high school.

Furthermore, judging from the bruises on the corners of the other person's mouth and their thin body, they were clearly living a very unhappy life.

However, after Lu Yuan changed his appearance, the other party obviously did not recognize him.

Lu Yuan didn't want to get involved in other people's business, so he continued to lie in bed with his eyes closed and rest.

It didn't take long.

A soft female voice rang out again inside the warship.

"Brave and fearless warriors, the warship has set sail. Please abide by the rules and try to avoid conflicts with others."

"In case of an emergency, you can contact the crew inside the warship at any time!"

The voice just fell.

The warship suddenly trembled slightly, then returned to calm.

The walls of the rest pods gradually become transparent, presenting the space scenery to everyone through holographic projection.

As everyone lay in bed, it felt as if they were in a dazzling starry sky, a truly dreamlike and magical experience.

But after the initial shock and surprise, people started to get bored and turned off the holographic projection.

"The technology on Hulao Star is still too outdated. If we had the Star Alliance's latest space jump technology, we could reach Shenmu Star in half an hour."

"The Covenant doesn't mobilize fleets from other developed star systems, but instead keeps sending us to the battlefield. I really don't know what they're thinking."

A bald man, around forty years old, couldn't help but grumble.

These words immediately broke the silence in the previously quiet rest cabin, which was now filled with lively conversation.

“Those are all noble Star Alliance citizens, unlike us lowly people who are born to be cannon fodder.”

"I heard that many cultivators died on Shenmu Star this time, and even several Nascent Soul stage experts perished. I wonder how long we mortals can live."

"Why think so much? Luckily, I had already used up my three million yuan credit limit on Xingbei before I left, and spent several days having a good time at nightclubs."

"Even if I die on the battlefield this time, it will be worth it in this life."

The bald man stared at the dark circles under his eyes, a lewd smile that only men could understand.

"Holy chopping? Is this even possible?"

Those who heard this were immediately astonished, considering him an extraordinary being.

One by one, they regretted it so much that they slapped their thighs until they were swollen, hating themselves for not thinking of this.

"By the way, young man, how did you get in?"

"Judging from your age, you should still be in school, right? Were you also forcibly conscripted into the army?"

The bald man looked at Wang Wei, who was the youngest among them, and casually asked.

Upon hearing his question, Wang Wei's eyes dimmed, and he looked dejected.

He spent a lot of time at school and was obviously not very shrewd; his emotions were written all over his face.

When asked that question, she blurted out everything in one go.

"The Starbound Army's recruitment office told me that the situation on the front lines was critical, and I had been included in the reserves."

"They also said that as long as I am willing to go to the battlefield on Shenmu Star, my parents and sister will be properly settled and will not have to stay in the slums for the rest of their lives."

"It wasn't just me; most of my classmates were also forcibly conscripted into the army, and many of them are on this warship."

Wang Wei pursed his lips and said in a complicated tone.

With a constant stream of Dark Zerg joining the battlefield, Saturn has become a veritable meat grinder.

Even a first-level martial artist wouldn't survive more than three days there, let alone a reserve like him.

It could be said that from the moment he boarded this warship, his life was already on a countdown.

Hear him say that.

The originally joyful atmosphere suddenly became somewhat heavy.

Faced with the cruelty of war, everyone couldn't help but feel a sense of shared sorrow for the fate of others.

After all, they were just ordinary people, not even quasi-martial artists.

Once we get to the battlefield, how many days can we survive?

"I never expected that an ordinary high school student like Wang Wei would be drafted. It seems that the situation on Shenju Star is getting more and more serious."

Lu Yuan lay on the bed, pondering to himself.

Why think about him so much? Live for today, for tomorrow we may die.

"It's a kind of fate that we can all get together."

"I happen to have over 100,000 yuan of Xingbei credit in my account. How about we chip in some more money and rent a few virtual reality headsets for a bit of fun?"

The bald man winked and made a face, which made the heavy atmosphere lively again.

Although there were no places of entertainment inside the warship.

But it exists in virtual space!

Moreover, virtual space offers a 100% immersive experience and level of realism, making it nearly indistinguishable from reality.

"You guys play, I want to rest for a while."

Lu Yuan politely declined and lay down on the bed to rest with his eyes closed.

Wang Wei had only recently graduated and had never seen anything like this before. He immediately waved his hands in refusal.

But the others seemed somewhat tempted, and immediately put their arms around each other's shoulders and ran out excitedly.

A few days passed by in a flash.

Aside from eating and using the toilet, Lu Yuan spends most of his time lying in bed with his eyes closed, resting and silently practicing breathing exercises.

According to the predictions of the warship's quantum computer, the fleet should have only needed five days to reach Shenmu Star.

However, the journey was interrupted by a small-scale Zerg attack and the disruption of the space route.

This caused the fleet to take four days to finally approach the battlefield on Shenmu Star! (End of Chapter)
