Ah? The ladies I stabbed have come true.

For some reason, Su Mo led the two women on a search and unknowingly arrived at Slave Alley, a place that mimicked his childhood.

When he became the Shang king in the simulation, he never went looking for his father because he was afraid that his slave status would be discovered.

Now that she's here, Su Mo really wants to see if Su Yin is still here.

If he were still alive, I could definitely help him get rid of his status as a slave.

Su Mo walked through the slave alley with Yu Luo Niang and He Ling'er. Everyone was terrified because of the shaman's attire.

The fear stemmed from the fact that shamans could freely choose slaves to sacrifice.

Even said.

The shaman could freely choose nobles to offer sacrifices to.

The entire Shang Dynasty.

Apart from the Shang king, only the shamans held the most power.

He Ling'er was somewhat surprised to see the fear in everyone's eyes when they saw her.

"Master, why, why do these people look at us with such fear, like mice seeing a cat?"

"No, they were more terrified than mice seeing cats; they simply couldn't look us in the eye."

"In fact, the life force has weakened somewhat."

He Ling'er is a demon, and is most sensitive to things like the aura of life.

She could feel that as she, her master, and Yu Luo Niang walked down the street, it was as if a bucket of water had been poured directly over their heads.

The life force of this group of people was like a candle flickering in the wind, as if a single breath would extinguish it.

Seeing this, Su Mo spoke up to explain.

Now that He Ling'er has become his woman, he has become even more patient.

"Ling'er, you don't understand."

"As a shaman, one holds a very high position in the Shang Dynasty."

"It could even be said that it was second only to the Shang king."

"Even some nobles have no confidence when facing shamans."

"Because if a shaman sets his sights on a nobleman, that nobleman will obediently offer up his life."

"In fact, this nobleman would be proud of it."

"Because in this way, he can transform into a ghost or god, and become immortal."

He Ling'er couldn't believe it.

"How could there be such barbaric, backward, and bloody customs?"

Yu Luo Niang spoke up from the side.

“I have been to this great merchant city before, and you are right, sir.”

"The Shang dynasty has been like this for countless years."

He Ling'er still couldn't accept it.

"Does this mean no one is thinking about changing this phenomenon and this system?"

"No wonder the Great Shang Dynasty is so dilapidated. Its capital city is not even as good as a well-developed town in the Earth Immortal Realm."

"I really don't know what kind of destruction this country will ultimately face."

Hearing He Ling'er say that.

Su Mo's heart stirred.

He recalled how the Shang Dynasty's fortune was absorbed by Zhu Jiuyin, ultimately making it the first of many dynasties to be wiped out.

Now that I have come to the Great Shang Dynasty, it means that I will most likely face Zhu Jiuyin directly.

He still remembers the message from his past life: Zhu Jiuyin was always watching him.

Even now, they are still watching.

I don't know if I have any connection with Zhu Jiuyin.

Considering that there was only one simulation left, Su Mo felt an urge to use this last simulation opportunity.

Suddenly, a knocking sound came from behind.

Unbeknownst to them, Su Mo and his two companions had already arrived at Su Yin's forging workshop.

When they saw Su Mo and the other two shamans lingering there, everyone looked worried, though a hint of relief also flashed in their eyes.

The worry is that Su Yin will be chosen as a sacrifice.

Fortunately, I wasn't chosen, so I can survive for a while longer.

At this moment, the hammering in the workshop stopped.

Su Yin, whose face looked aged, walked out of the workshop.

Now, due to years of casting bronze, his skin has aged beyond recognition, and even his hair has been permed into patches of baldness.

Upon seeing Su Mo, Su Yin was taken aback, then a look of relief appeared in his eyes.

He kept making fun of himself.

"After all these years, I've finally been noticed."

"My lords, how do you intend to sacrifice me?"

Although Su Mo had no feelings for Su Yin, he could still see the genuine fatherly love that Su Yin showed to his simulated self outside the simulation.

"Are you Su Yin?"

"Exactly."

Su Yin remained calm, clearly prepared to face his impending fate with equanimity.

Seeing that Su Yin showed no fear, Su Mo didn't want to torment him emotionally, so she spoke up.

“Su Yin, you have the potential to become a shaman.”

"I came here today specifically to help you develop your potential."

what?
Su Yin could hardly believe it.

But he understood that someone of Su Mo's status wouldn't joke around so casually.

"Master Shaman, are you telling the truth?"

Su Mo nodded when he heard that.

"That's certainly true; I have no reason to lie to you."

"But before that, let me help you get rid of your old ailment."

As he spoke, Su Mo took out a spiritual pill.

This was given to me by Meng Hongshang when I was in the Immortal Realm.

It doesn't have much effect on cultivators, but if ordinary people eat it, they can undergo a complete transformation, gaining an extra 20 years of lifespan.

"Come on, eat it."

Seeing the fragrant pill in Su Mo's hand, Su Yin, though unfamiliar with it, swallowed it without hesitation.

Not long after.

Su Yin felt that her body was undergoing tremendous changes.

Not long after.

Su Yin's aged face has returned to its youthful state, and even his presbyopia caused by old age has become incredibly clear.

It was as if time had been turned back twenty years, back when I was still a young man.

Those watching from the surrounding area also noticed Su Yin's change, and they were all somewhat incredulous.

"My God, Su Yin really looks younger."

"Yes, I have seen what Su Yin looked like when he was young. He looked just like this, or even more handsome."

"Yes, he really looks even more handsome now."

"Su Yin is really lucky. She was actually chosen by the Shaman, and from then on she was no longer a slave."

"Who says it isn't? This really is a meteoric rise."

Hearing the discussions around him, Su Yin was also somewhat excited.

Could it be that from now on, I'll really rise to the top in one step?
Seeing Su Yin's joy, Su Mo was also somewhat moved. This time, some of the regrets from the simulation had been made up for.

“Su Yin, come here, I will teach you a witchcraft.”

"Remember to practice diligently in the future."

As she finished speaking, Su Mo touched Su Yin's forehead with her finger.

All of a sudden.

The cultivation methods related to spiritual summoning were continuously inputted into Su Yin's mind through the form of blazing righteous energy.

In fact, some of it even contained Su Mo's insights into cultivating spiritual summoning.

Although Su Yin couldn't be promised any wealth or glory, Su Mo provided him with a ladder to climb.

Su Mo left.

Now that Su Yin has mastered witchcraft, even if others want to enslave him, they can no longer do so.

Because he knew witchcraft.

It should be noted that many shamans in the Shang Dynasty still do not practice witchcraft.

If the shamans find out that you have sacrificed a shaman who practices witchcraft, in order to maintain your own class and the shaman's sanctity...

They will stop at nothing to destroy you. Therefore, unless the Xiqi army invades, Su Yin will not be in any danger.

As for Xiqi.

Su Mo snorted coldly.

Since Daji also retains her memories, she is capable enough to prevent such a thing from happening again.

Su Mo is still unsure whether Zhu Jiuyin has approached Daji yet.

If Daji becomes Zhujiuyin's accomplice, what should he do?
Zhu Jiuyin is, after all, a creator god.

How could I possibly defeat it?

Even Guanyin herself might not be his match.

Think of this.

Su Mo's mood was clouded.

He really didn't dare to think about such uncertain things.

The desire to conduct one last simulation is growing stronger now.

Su Mo ultimately decided to finish the final simulation before going to find Daji.

Then, Su Mo looked at He Ling'er and Yu Luo Niang.

“You protect me, and there is something I need to do.”

"Yes, sir, master."

Su Mo then led Yu Luo Niang and He Ling'er to the roof of Bigan.

In this life, Bigan had not yet been killed by Daji, so the roof was quite spacious.

After setting up a magic array to conceal his aura, Su Mo had He Ling'er reveal her true form, and then he started the simulation while holding Yu Luo Niang.

Although she didn't know what Su Mo was doing, seeing how serious he was, Yu Luo Niang didn't disturb him, but just served him in every way.

Lying among He Ling'er's soft feathers, Su Mo felt as if he were lying on the world's finest mattress.

With Yu Luo Niang attending to him and giving him a massage, Su Mo was so happy that he forgot all about home.

Immediately.

Su Mo opened up his life of love.

Looking at the chaotic scene, Su Mo tried to start simulating it.

Immediately afterwards, a series of prompts appeared in front of him.

[Start simulation? 】

"start!"

【Random spawn location.】

[Your simulated birth location this time is the Sea of ​​No Light.]

The Sea Without Light!

Su Mo looked surprised.

Is it really the Sea of ​​No Light from the creation myth?

Legend has it that Zhujiuyin hovered in this sea of ​​darkness, and that Fuxi and Nuwa were also born from this sea of ​​darkness.

Is it possible?

Is my identity this time Fuxi?
Just as Su Mo was lost in thought, another notification appeared.

【Choosing a random romance character. 】

[Your randomly assigned character is named "Nuwa".]

Nuwa!

Su Mo's suspicions were further confirmed.

My identity this time is very likely to be Fuxi!
Su Mo was a little excited.

This is Nuwa!

They cooperated with Fuxi to kill the god who created the world, Zhujiuyin.

I wonder how beautiful Nuwa must be...

may.

She'd be just as good as Chang'e.

In Su Mo's heart, Chang'e was the most beautiful woman, and everything about her was impeccable.

As Su Mo was lost in thought, another notification appeared.

【Random identity is being selected.】

Your random identity this time is the Dark Heart of the Sea of ​​Lightless.

Heart of Darkness?

Su Mo's eyes were completely bewildered.

Heart of Darkness?

what is this?
There's no record of it in creation myths, is there?

Could it be the truth buried in historical myths?
Just as Su Mo was wondering, another notification sounded.

【Random talent is being selected.】

Your random talent this time is "Darkness".

[Darkness (No Rank Talent): You are darkness itself, possessing all abilities related to darkness.]

Darkness itself?

Su Mo's gaze sharpened.

What does it mean.

Just then, another notification appeared.

"Should I leave the game running in this simulation?"

Su Mo's face darkened.

I didn't expect that even on the last try, there would still be an AFK (away from keyboard) option.

He then chose to refuse.

"Simulation in progress..."

Immediately afterwards, a pitch-black scene enveloped Su Mo.

Su Mo's vision went black; he could only see light at the back of his head, while everything else was pitch black.

……

You were born in complete darkness, completely unaware of your surroundings, unable to distinguish up from down, left from right, or north from south.

[After an unknown amount of time, you realized you had a body.]

In the scene, it was still pitch black in front of Su Mo.

The first thing you do after getting a body is to wander around and have fun.

While strolling around, you sensed a lot of debris around you, mostly things like sickles, hammers, folding fans, knives, guns, pagodas, and cauldrons. Because your body is incredibly strong, these objects instantly turn into fragments upon touching you.

[After you destroy these objects, they will transform into energy that strengthens your body, and in return, you will gain the abilities associated with those objects.]

However, the abilities of these miscellaneous items are like fireflies compared to the sun compared to your original body; they are simply unworthy of your use.

You begin to feel that the abilities of these odds and ends are a burden, so you give up searching for the remaining items in the dark.

[After an unknown amount of time, you suddenly feel an extremely powerful force of attraction surrounding your body.]

Feeling this force of attraction, what will you choose now?

Option 1: Fight against this force of attraction and escape its range.

Option 2: Pretend to struggle briefly, then be pulled away by the force of attraction.

Option 3: Follow this force of attraction to find its source.

Looking at the three options in front of him, Su Mo fell into thought.

I wonder what kind of ending these three options foreshadow.

This is the last simulation, so I must make a careful choice.

If you can't defy fate and gain talent, then it's just too boring.

If it were according to normal biological instinct, it would definitely fight to the death and escape to a place where the attraction force could not reach it.

So why not do the opposite and choose the third option, actively succumbing to this force of attraction? Who knows what the outcome will be?

Immediately, Su Mo chose the third option.

After you feel this force of attraction, a voice arises within you, urging you to actively submit to it.

You did as instructed, following the force of attraction and flying rapidly forward. You don't know how long you flew before you finally saw a glimmer of light that defied the darkness.

[When you emerged from the darkness, you saw a colossal dragon.]

Upon seeing the giant dragon, he instantly learned its name.

[Zhu Jiuyin.]

[When Zhu Jiuyin saw you, he was very pleased. He then used his dragon claws to attach you to his brow, making you his third eye.]

[Only then do you realize that before you, two other precious pearls, different in color but identical in shape, had become the left and right eyes of this Candle Dragon!] (End of Chapter)
