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

"Is this the Demon-Suppressing Main Star?"

As soon as Lu Yuan stepped onto this land, he immediately noticed the huge difference.

The spiritual energy here is more than ten times denser than that of the satellite, almost to the point of liquefying into mist.

Moreover, after being purified by the Demon-Suppressing Immortal Array.

The spiritual energy here is extremely pure, without any impurities or demonic energy. It can be directly absorbed into the body without further refining.

You get what you pay for.

"No wonder the pass tokens for Zhenmo Star are so expensive. If I could cultivate here for a long time, I would probably be able to reach the True Immortal Realm in just a thousand years."

Lu Yuan remarked with considerable emotion.

He looked up.

A magnificent ancient city rose from the ground, standing proudly in front of us like an ancient sacred mountain.

This city is vast, far exceeding any imagination, and could probably accommodate tens of billions of people.

The soldiers patrolling outside the city all possessed Nascent Soul cultivation.

They were heavily armed and powerful, exuding an astonishing aura of ferocity, clearly seasoned veterans!

Besides.

Above the tall and solid city gate, three large characters are carved in a flamboyant style.

Tiangang City!
According to the elven girl, the Demon Suppression Star has a total of 108 giant cities.

Each city corresponds to a satellite, and the city lord's cultivation level is at least at the peak of the Dao Integration Realm.

There are even rumors claiming that...

The Demon-Suppressing Star also has several Transcendent Immortal Venerables guarding it, which is enough to deter all villains!
“From Nascent Soul soldiers to Deity Transformation commanders, the strength of this Demon Suppression Star is indeed not to be underestimated.”

Lu Yuan's eyes flashed as he once again directly felt just how powerful the foundation of the Demon Suppression Star truly was.

He then followed the crowd and underwent strict checks before being allowed to enter the city.

The city is filled with clusters of buildings, standing side by side.

The wide, clean streets were bustling with people.

Along both sides of the road, many vendors have set up stalls and are enthusiastically selling various goods.

Cultivation techniques, secret manuals, spiritual weapons, precious medicines, talismans, servants, and the flesh and blood of exotic beasts...

The store had a wide variety of items, which dazzled many young cultivators who were new to the place.

One stall was particularly bustling, surrounded by hundreds of cultivators, completely blocking the street.

Lu Yuan extended a wisp of his divine sense and saw it in the crowd.

A middle-aged Taoist priest with a cold aura and a thin figure was sitting cross-legged on the ground, closing his eyes to meditate.

Beside him stood a burly man with a rune collar around his neck, his eyes vacant and numb, obediently standing still, not daring to make any move.

A line of large characters was written on the ground of the stall.

"Early Nascent Soul stage servant, two thousand low-grade star cores."

Lu Yuan glanced at it and then withdrew his divine sense.

Having gone through many reincarnations, he was no longer surprised by these things.

Whether it's a fantasy world or a world of cultivation, it all boils down to the law of the jungle: the strong prey on the weak, and strength reigns supreme.

Faced with this cruel law of survival, the weak have no dignity whatsoever and can only become appendages or servants of the strong.

"First, find a way to acquire resources, and then step into the realm of True Immortal in one go."

Lu Yuan acted on his idea immediately. After inquiring around Tiangang City, he learned that there were only three ways to obtain resources in the Chaotic Demon Starfield.

The first type is murder and robbery.

A horse will not be fat without night grass, and a man will not be rich without windfall.

The fastest way to acquire resources is simply to plunder other people's resources for your own use.

Furthermore, the Chaotic Demon Starfield is already extremely chaotic, so as long as no one takes action on the Demon Suppression Star, basically no one will meddle.

However, while this method offers high returns, it also carries significant risks.

Those who dare to step into the Chaotic Demon Starfield.

They are either vicious criminals with a history of murders and wanted posters, or powerful individuals who are unafraid of any challenge or threat.

Another type is those with extremely powerful backgrounds and deep connections.

The former is a fearless, barefoot person who isn't afraid of those wearing shoes. If they are targeted by the other party, it's hard to say who will rob whom.

Those with connections have extraordinary backgrounds and may even have protectors secretly following them. If you provoke them, you will surely face a fatal disaster.

As for robbing powerful people, that goes without saying; only people who think they've lived too long would do that.

The second method is to accept missions issued by various forces in order to obtain cultivation resources.

Zhenmo Star is the center of the Chaotic Demon Star Domain, where a large number of powerful forces and cultivation families gather.

These forces will issue various bounty missions through the city lord's mansion.

For example, venturing to a dangerous planet to collect precious herbs, offering a bounty on the head of a demonic cultivator, or gathering intelligence on the demon realm...

These tasks are varied and the rewards differ, requiring cultivators to discern the differences themselves.

The last option is to join the Demon-Suppressing Guard of the Five Elements Immortal Sect, responsible for maintaining order on the Demon-Suppressing Star and fighting against the demons.

The Five Elements Immortal Sect has a profound foundation. It is said to have been founded by the Great Luo Immortal Ancestor and has been passed down for countless eons.

Although it suffered a devastating purge by the Celestial Clan and its strength was severely diminished, even a weakened camel is bigger than a horse.

Until today.

The Five Elements Immortal Sect still holds an unparalleled position and influence in the Chaotic Demon Starfield.

Although the salary of the Demon Suppression Guards is a bit low, as long as they perform well, they may have the opportunity to become formal disciples of the Five Elements Immortal Sect in the future.

That's precisely why.

Many independent cultivators are eager to participate in this competition, often fighting tooth and nail for a single spot as a Demon Suppression Guard.

However, the standards for the Demon Suppression Guards are extremely strict, with stringent requirements on strength, age, comprehension, and talent.

Often, only two or three out of a thousand Nascent Soul cultivators will be selected.

After analyzing the information, Lu Yuan did not hesitate and directly chose to accept the mission.

The life of a thief is precarious, and the risks are too great.

As for the Demon Suppression Guards' salary, it was too low. That little bit of money was just a drop in the bucket for them, not to mention they were subject to others' control. They might as well not have it.

In contrast.

Acquiring resources by accepting tasks is undoubtedly a more suitable path for him.

Think of this.

Lu Yuan immediately went to the city lord's mansion to see if there were any suitable tasks for him.

Outsiders are forbidden from flying on Zhenmo Star.

He could only walk there, wandering around the city, and it took him half an hour to finally arrive at the city lord's mansion.

In front of a magnificent and ancient building, there was a stone tablet.

This stele is a hundred feet tall, and its surface is covered with tiny characters, so densely packed that it makes one dizzy at first glance.

"Dangerous mission: Find thirty Nascent Soul cultivators to escort a caravan to the Tianhai Star Region. The reward for each person is one hundred low-grade star cores!"

"Ordinary mission: Hire a Void Returning stage expert for one month of individual guidance. The expert must be proficient in fire-based techniques. The reward is 500 low-grade star cores!"

"An extremely difficult mission. The Yao family is offering a hefty reward for the head of the third leader of the Black Wind Pirate Gang. His strength is at the Dao Integration stage. The reward is five million low-grade star cores!"

……

Lu Yuan glanced at the list and instantly browsed through hundreds of thousands of tasks.

He discovered that, based on their level of danger, all missions could be roughly divided into three categories: normal, dangerous, and extremely difficult.

The higher the difficulty of the mission, the greater the reward, but the higher the chance of casualties. For example, the casualty rate for extremely difficult missions can be as high as 90%!
"I'm new here and not familiar with this place yet. To be on the safe side, I'll take on a medium-difficulty task first."

After careful consideration, Lu Yuan made his decision.

[Dangerous mission: Protect the Yao family's Blood Flame Crystal mine from attacks by powerful demons. Requires a Void Returning Perfection level cultivation. Reward: 5,000 low-grade star cores per month.]

After receiving the mission, a guard from the city lord's mansion immediately stepped forward and gave Lu Yuan a more detailed intelligence report.

Blood Flame Star.

Located 300 light-years from Zhenmo Star, it is a well-known resource-rich star in the Chaotic Demon Starfield, famous for its abundant Blood Flame Crystals.

Back then, the Yao family fought fiercely and paid an extremely heavy price to seize this planet from other forces.

However, the Blood Flame Crystal contains extremely rich fire-elemental energy, which can not only accelerate the cultivation speed of high-level cultivators, but also be widely used in alchemy, weapon crafting, and array formation. Therefore...

Blood Flame Crystal is in high demand and short supply in the market, and the profits it generates for the Yao family each year are astronomical.

However, such a lucrative opportunity naturally attracted the envy of many powerful forces.

This is why the Yao family patriarch, as a Dao Integration Perfection expert with unfathomable cultivation, was able to barely intimidate other villains.

But what troubles them the most is...

Bloodflame Star happens to be located near a dimensional rift, and powerful demons often cross over to steal Bloodflame Crystals.

The Yao family suffered heavy losses and was extremely troubled.

After reflecting deeply on my mistakes...

That's why they decided to spend a lot of money to hire hundreds of ancient saints who had returned to the Void to guard this star.

"Five thousand low-grade star cores a month is a huge sum of money even for a Void Returning Ancient Saint. The Yao family is indeed very wealthy."

Lu Yuan pondered to himself.

However, higher rewards also mean greater risks.

of course.

This risk is nothing to Lu Yuan.

Having experienced countless reincarnations and possessing the power of five supreme laws, he could even fight against a True Immortal who had achieved the Dao Integration Realm.

As long as he is careful, few people can pose any threat to him.

……

Inside Tiangang City.

The Yao family mansion.

Located in the heart of the city, this place covers tens of thousands of acres and features numerous palaces and gardens, resembling a maze.

Led by a servant.

Lu Yuan walked through many corridors and arrived at a flat area in a garden.

"My lord, please wait here for a moment. Elder Yao Tong will be here soon."

The servant said very respectfully.

"it is good."

Lu Yuan nodded, there was no rush.

He looked around and found that quite a few Void Returning Realm experts had already gathered here.

These people are of varying heights and come from different races.

Without exception, each of them possessed an extremely powerful aura.

There was even a cosmic being among them, its entire body made of silver metal, with only its eyes shining with a captivating, dazzling blue light.

This was none other than a powerful member of the mechanical race!
As soon as Lu Yuan stepped into this place, many people immediately cast their gazes at him, clearly assessing his strength in secret.

"Friend, did you come alone too?"

A burly werewolf, standing three meters tall and covered in blue mane, walked towards him and greeted him in a friendly manner.

"My name is Walker, and I come from the Sirius Clan. It's nice to meet you."

"My name is... Lu Yuan."

Lu Yuan hesitated for a moment before revealing his real name.

In fact.

The Star Alliance's communication speed is extremely fast, and anyone interested can find out about his information with just a little inquiry.

So instead of hiding it, it's better to show your real name.

Besides, he's all alone now, so there's nothing for him to be afraid of.

“I know you, a young powerhouse from the Prisoner Dragon Galaxy, the number one criminal wanted by the Terra Empire.”

Upon hearing Lu Yuan reveal his real name, Walker smiled faintly, his guard lowering slightly.

The Sirius Clan has always been known for its brutal, bloodthirsty, and warlike behavior.

But Walker was an outlier.

Compared to the careless nature of his clansmen, he preferred to plan carefully before acting and to gather as much useful information as possible.

Therefore, long before he arrived, he had already investigated the identities of his teammates and knew a lot about many of them.

He had spoken with many people, but only Lu Yuan told him the truth.

From this point of view.

Compared to his colleagues, Lu Yuan was clearly more trustworthy.

"The most wanted criminal? It seems the Terra Empire values ​​me quite a bit."

Lu Yuan shrugged and said nonchalantly.

He's currently on Zhenmo Star, and even if the Terra Empire knows his whereabouts, there's not much they can do about it.

Moreover, his strength is no longer what it used to be.

The Terra Empire's royal family also needs to consider whether they should insist on fighting to the death with a Void Returning Perfection expert for the sake of Shenmu Star!
"My friend has great courage."

Walker gave a thumbs up, deeply admiring Lu Yuan's composure and calmness.

Seeing this, the others also glanced at Lu Yuangao slightly.

Anyone who dares to set foot in the Chaotic Demon Starfield is a lawless scoundrel.
For them, the Covenant's wanted posters are more valuable than medals of honor.

It didn't take long.

An elderly man with silver hair, dressed in a black robe, strode into the open space, surrounded by a group of people.

"Greetings, Third Elder."

This person clearly possesses high prestige and status.

As soon as he appeared, the other Void Returning experts clasped their fists and bowed in greeting.

See this scene.

Lu Yuan followed suit, raising his hands and clasping his hands in a fist salute, but a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Because this silver-haired old man possessed a powerful and profound aura, he was actually a genuine Dao-Merging True Immortal!

"Fellow Daoists, there's no need to be so polite."

Yao Tong returned the greeting with clasped hands.

"I'm sure you all already know the mission we're on. The demons have become increasingly rampant lately, and I will personally lead the team to Bloodflame Star this time."

"I will leave this matter to you fellow Daoists. After the demons retreat, I will present you with another great gift."

"Without further delay, let's set off now."

The voice just fell.

Yao Tong flicked his finger, and a stream of light shot into the sky, transforming into a hundred-foot-long bronze warship that landed steadily on the open ground.

That warship was indestructible, its entire body made of some kind of cyan divine iron, and its surface was imprinted with countless laws and Dao patterns.

The mere presence of a wisp of pressure caused a slight change in the expressions of everyone present, and they couldn't help but feel a sense of unease.

"Top-grade immortal weapon?"

Feeling the terrifying fluctuations emanating from the surface of the warship, Lu Yuan's heart trembled slightly, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Under normal circumstances.

Only by achieving perfect cultivation in the Dao can one unleash the power of a top-grade immortal artifact.

Although Yao Tong is incredibly powerful, he is only at the early stage of the Dao Integration Realm.

To possess a top-grade immortal artifact at the early stage of Dao Integration is something that is absolutely unimaginable for many True Immortal experts.

It seems the rumors were true; the Yao family is indeed rolling in money.

However, although Lu Yuan thought this way, he didn't slow down at all and stepped into the bronze warship along with the other Ancient Saints who had returned to the Void.

"Whoosh!"

next moment.

The bronze warship ascended into the sky, transforming into a streak of blue light before disappearing into the horizon.

But no one noticed that Yao Tong and the others had only been gone for a short time.

Several ordinary-looking cultivators then left Tiangang City one after another, silently following them. (End of Chapter)
