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

The Great Yan Royal Family.

The moment Lu Yuan destroyed the imperial edict.

Inside the royal ancestral land, an old man dressed in a purple-gold dragon robe seemed to sense something, and a look of anger immediately appeared on his face.

"How dare this person openly defy the imperial decree and even destroy it?"

The old man in the dragon robe was furious, and roared in a fit of rage.

If the King of Wuwei were here, he would definitely recognize him at a glance.

The old man in the purple and gold dragon robe was none other than the Great Yan Ancestor!

As he became angry.

The once cloudless sky suddenly turned pitch black, so dark that you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.

In the pitch-black night sky, thunder roared and lightning flashed, making all the powerful figures in the palace tremble with fear and feel a sense of oppression that made it hard to breathe!

"What's going on? Why did the patriarch suddenly become angry?"

"Could it be that some blind fool has accidentally offended the Ancestor?"

"The wrath of an immortal can change the very fabric of the world. Our ancestor has already achieved a level of mastery that is beyond the reach of any of us in our entire lives!"

The other royal family members felt their scalps tingle and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise as they sensed this vast and powerful aura, which was as boundless as a river or sea.

Faced with this overwhelming and terrifying pressure, they were like a lone boat in a raging storm, seemingly on the verge of being smashed to pieces by a tsunami at any moment.

Even the legendary gods are probably no more than this, right?
"What did you say? This brat Lu Yuan actually dares to defy the Ancestor's will? Is he trying to court death?"

"It is the greatest honor of the ancestor to have taken a liking to Wuyou City. This boy not only shows no gratitude, but also dares to openly defy the imperial court?"

"This brat is audacious and reckless; he must be severely punished!"

It didn't take long.

The news of Lu Yuan's disobedience to the imperial decree was immediately learned by many powerful members of the royal family.

When they learned of this, they were all furious and wished they could kill Lu Yuan.

It should be known that the Great Yan royal family is the ruler of all under heaven. Even powerful beings like the ancient emperors must prostrate themselves before the throne of His Majesty of Great Yan.

But how dare Lu Yuan, a mere upstart, defy the imperial court?

The Great Yan Ancestor was also furious. He immediately summoned many royal experts to discuss the matter.

Other powerful members of the royal family dared not delay and immediately rushed to the ancestral land.

"You've probably all heard about it. In any case, Worry-Free City is part of the Great Yan territory."

"But Lu Yuan has monopolized Wuyou City and already harbors rebellious intentions. What do you think we should do with him?"

The Great Yan Ancestor's face was ashen as he looked at the crowd below the hall and spoke in a hoarse voice.

"Reporting to the Ancestor, the current situation is turbulent, and the various princes are obedient to orders but not to summons, among whom Lu Yuan is the most extreme."

"Lu Yuan has no respect for the court and has offended the imperial family's dignity. He must be executed to deter the major powers."

"Your humble servant dares to suggest that we dispatch the Imperial Guards to annihilate Wuyou City in one fell swoop, thus demonstrating the strength of our dynasty!"

A high-ranking official of the imperial court respectfully reported this.

But as soon as he finished speaking, someone shook his head and immediately spoke up in rebuttal.

"That's not right. The dark alien race is pressing forward relentlessly, and they will be at the city gates soon. If we send out the royal guards now, who will be responsible for protecting the safety of the capital?"

A middle-aged civil official dressed in white, holding a feather fan, and dressed like a strategist, spoke slowly.

"Then what do you suggest we do with this child?"

The high-ranking official, having lost face, immediately glared at him angrily and said irritably.

"Minister Li, please don't be in a hurry, let me explain slowly."

The civil official holding the feather fan spoke slowly and deliberately.

"As far as I know, the Dark Race has an obsession with the flesh and blood of living beings that is difficult for ordinary people to understand."

"The reason they launched such large-scale attacks and plunders was because they were attracted by the scent of blood and flesh of the people in the city."

"And the reason why they lingered outside the city for months, even though they knew that the imperial city was protected by a great formation, was because the imperial city had hundreds of millions of simulators and hundreds of billions of ordinary people."

"This is an unimaginable temptation for the dark alien race!"

The scholar-official with the feather fan spoke slowly.

"what do you mean……"

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyelids twitched, and they vaguely understood his thoughts.

“Indeed, since Lu Yuan is openly defying the will of the imperial court, then why not cede Wuyou City to the Dark Alien Race!”

"In this way, we can both lift the siege of the capital and show the world the consequences of opposing the imperial court!"

The courtier with the feather fan smiled gently as he finished speaking.

In the imperial court, a breeding ground for corruption, those who can stand out and become important officials of the Great Yan Dynasty are naturally not virtuous people.

However, when everyone heard his suggestion, even the most ruthless people couldn't help but shudder.

So vicious!

You should know that Worry-Free City has a population of over one trillion!
Every citizen is a living, breathing human being.

However, the scholar-official with the feather fan casually decided the fate of trillions of lives. Such heart and methods are truly too cruel!

“Indeed, you have a point. Originally, out of consideration for our shared human race, I was inclined to spare their lives.”

"But since they are so ignorant and insist on bringing about their own destruction, they can't blame me."

Upon hearing this, the Great Yan Ancestor's eyes brightened slightly, a glint of shrewdness flashing within them.

The dark alien race has been besieging the imperial city for several years.

Although the imperial city was protected by divine formations and had stockpiled a large amount of resources and supplies, it was still able to maintain order even after being besieged by the dark alien race for hundreds of years.

However, the Great Yan Imperial City is the central city of the entire empire, and any disturbance will attract the attention of major powers.

If the imperial city is besieged by the dark alien race for a long time, the court's control over other territories will only weaken.

Who knows how many people will dare to openly defy the imperial court's will like Lu Yuan did!
Therefore, they must break the siege of the capital in the shortest possible time.

The suggestion from the scholar with the feather fan was exactly what the Great Yan Ancestor wanted.

It not only solved the siege of the imperial city, but also destroyed Wuyou City in one fell swoop.

As for the life and death of trillions of people in Worry-Free City, what does that have to do with him?

Do it when you think of it.

The Great Yan Ancestor wasted no time and immediately issued a series of orders, sending people outside the city to negotiate with the Dark Alien race.

Although the Dark Race is cruel and bloodthirsty, its high-ranking members possess intelligence comparable to that of humans.

They had been besieging the city for a long time without success, and they knew very well that they had no way to take down the Great Yan Imperial City.

Upon hearing that the Great Yan Ancestor had sent someone to negotiate, both sides immediately reached an agreement.

Soon.

The endless army of darkness suddenly retreated slowly like a tide, then turned and marched south.

They actually abandoned the Great Yan Imperial City and headed straight for the direction of Wuyou City!

Meanwhile, the spies left by various powers within the imperial city naturally noticed the changes made by the dark alien race immediately. Then...

They immediately notified their respective factions of the message through the simulated space.

For a while.

Most of the powerful figures who had been granted the title of King were alarmed by this matter and flocked to the simulation space to discuss it.

"What's going on? The Dark Alien race has actually retreated?"

"Weren't they said that the Dark Army was fearless and would fight to the last man? Why are they suddenly giving up now?"

"No! They haven't given up; it seems they've just shifted their target!"

"Judging from their marching route, they seem to be heading in the direction of the Southern Region."

"Wasn't the southern border already captured by the alien races? What are they doing there now?"

Many of those who were granted titles of nobility were puzzled and completely baffled.

"Wait! The Southern Region? Have you forgotten about Worry-Free City?!"

Suddenly, someone seemed to have thought of something and hurriedly spoke up.

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

Upon hearing his words, the powerful figures from all the major forces were shocked, finally understanding why the Dark Alien Clan had suddenly withdrawn their troops.

They were naturally familiar with Worry-Free City.

Over the past century, Worry-Free City has been like a rising star, bringing unparalleled shock to the outside world almost every now and then.

Whether it's the explosive growth in population and the simulated powerful beings, or the unprecedented expansion speed of Worry-Free City, it's enough to refresh everyone's understanding.

It can be said that after such a long period of development, Worry-Free City has become a giant in the region, and even the Great Yan Dynasty needs to treat it with caution!
Many established powers are also eyeing the lucrative prize of Worry-Free City, and they are using all sorts of means to try and get a share of it.

Unfortunately.

Worry-Free City possesses the god-level characteristic of [Undead Catastrophe], which can ignore any infiltration and bribery methods.

In addition, Wuxin worked diligently and managed Wuyou City as if it were an impregnable fortress.

It cannot be pierced by a needle, nor can it be splashed with water.

Even the Great Yan royal family could not plant any spies or informants within Worry-Free City.

Moreover, Worry-Free City is also presided over by several powerful figures who have been granted the title of King. Whether it is top-level combat power or the number of simulators, it is far superior to any other force.

Therefore, despite the fact that all the major powers have coveted Worry-Free City over the years, none of them have ever been able to gain any control over it.

but now.

The alien army that had besieged the imperial city for years suddenly changed direction and headed towards the southern region.

It's obvious at a glance that they're aiming for Worry-Free City!
"What a clever scheme! The Great Yan royal family is trying to use the Dark Alien race to completely eliminate this major threat, Worry-Free City!"

Those who can become kings and powerful figures are all cunning and shrewd.

Therefore, upon learning this news, they immediately understood the intentions of the Great Yan royal family.

"Worry-Free City defied the imperial decree, and although it was wrong to do so, the trillions of people involved are innocent."

"Is the Great Yan Ancestor just going to stand by and watch all the people perish in the belly of the dark alien race?"

"What do you know? There are no relatives in the imperial family. Those who can sit on the throne are all ruthless, cruel, and ungrateful people."

"What does it matter how many people are sacrificed, as long as the country remains stable?"

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.

They were all powerful warlords who controlled their own territories, and they naturally understood that for an emperor, nothing in the world was as important as the power in his hands.

Lu Yuan defied imperial authority and had to pay a bloody price for it.

Even if they were in the position of the Great Yan Ancestor, they might have made the same choice!

"The Dark Alien race is invincible, and moreover, there is a demigod-level alien race stationed behind the army. It seems that Worry-Free City is doomed this time."

"If I were the city lord of Worry-Free City, I would definitely set aside all my dignity and immediately apologize to the Great Yan royal family and ask for their help."

"Perhaps the Great Yan Ancestor, out of consideration for being fellow human beings, will spare Wuyou City's life."

"I don't think so. The Dark Alien Clan is not so easy to deal with. If the Great Yan Ancestor protects Worry-Free City, he will only face a more frenzied retaliation."

"Which is more important, the Imperial City or the City of No Worries? I'm sure you all know better than I do."

"Hiss! So, does that mean Wuyou City is doomed this time, with no chance of survival?"

"That's right. Unless a god-level being intervenes, even if the Great Yan Ancestor personally steps in, he won't be able to protect Worry-Free City."

One of the veteran king-level figures shook his head and said in a solemn tone.

Many of the top-ranking officials gasped in shock, their faces turning grim.

That's a megacity with a population of trillions.

Furthermore, there are tens of millions of simulators and dozens of top-tier players in charge.

As a result, even with such formidable strength, they could only stay where they were and wait to die, without even a sliver of hope of survival.
What should they do if the Dark Army attacks other cities after conquering Worry-Free City?
Just imagining that scene filled all the powerful figures with a sense of despair and helplessness.

Despite their local power and control of billions of people, they are undeniably local emperors.

But when faced with such a colossal being as the Dark Alien Race, these kings and giants were no different from ants!
at the same time.

As the time goes.

The news of the Dark Alien army marching south spread like wildfire throughout the Great Yan Empire, and many low-level simulators learned of it.

As the head of the intelligence department of the Night Watch Division, Si Kongxi naturally learned of this matter immediately.

Night Watch Division.

A cool and aloof goddess with long, flowing hair sat in the main seat of the conference room, holding the weekly meeting.

But at that moment, an intelligence officer hurriedly pushed open the conference room door and reported, his face pale.

"Minister, something terrible has happened!"

"I just received the latest news: the Dark Alien army has abandoned its attack on the Imperial City and has instead set its sights on Worry-Free City!"

"What did you say?"

Upon hearing this, Sikong Xi's expression changed drastically, and her heart seemed to stop beating as if gripped by an invisible hand.

"The Great Yan Imperial City and Wuyou City are hundreds of millions of miles apart. Why would the Dark Alien Clan suddenly change their target?"

"Explain yourself clearly, what exactly happened?"

The staff member took a few deep breaths to suppress his shock before truthfully recounting all the information he knew.

"Absurd! The Great Yan Dynasty dares to negotiate with the Dark Alien Race in private?!"

"Using others to kill, turning against one's own kind—what exactly is the Great Yan Ancestor trying to do? Could it be that he wants to lose his position as the ruler of the world?"

After hearing the whole story, Sikong Xi was both shocked and furious.

Finally, she could no longer contain her anger and slammed her hand on the conference table.

next moment.

The entire conference table shattered into pieces, turning to dust in an instant! (End of Chapter)
