Chapter 365 Shattering the 'Mountain' of Fate

Retreating is not necessarily shameful, because it is the 'survival instinct' ingrained in every living being.

Therefore, even if one knows that their 'death' in the holographic simulation is not a real death.

But he still instinctively stepped back.

In contrast, facing this army of star beasts that would make ordinary star envoys retreat, the black-haired man not only did not back down, but laughed happily, his eyes filled with absolute confidence and arrogance.

He was contemptuous, utterly contemptuous of these 'ants' that could be crushed with a single step.

As the star ant army surrounded him, the black-haired man stretched his wrists and suddenly began giving Chen Kong a live lesson behind him.

"Remember my words, newcomer."

"For an individual, every grain of sand left behind by the times will become an unshakeable mountain, but even a mountain..."

The black-haired man took a step forward, causing the yellow sand beneath his feet to fly up.

His right fist condensed a faint stellar energy, which, though seemingly 'dim,' carried an aura of world-destroying power.

To Chen Kong's astonishment, the black-haired man laughed and threw a punch.

"I can smash it to pieces too!!!"

boom!
As the black-haired man unleashed a punch, a terrifying pale golden star energy shockwave instantly spread out from his body.

Immediately afterwards, the densely packed army of star beasts in front of him was sent flying backward like fallen leaves swept by a whirlwind.

Amidst the sweeping force of the punches, the sounds of shells shattering and debris flying from the ruins rose and fell in waves.

Just a few seconds later, more than half of the originally densely packed star beast army disappeared, leaving a blank area stretching for hundreds of meters in the center of the army.

At the same time, Chen Kong suddenly felt a slight 'blinding' light.

He looked up and was shocked to find that the thick purple clouds above him had been torn open by the black-haired man's earth-shattering punch, allowing the long-lost golden sunlight to shine once again into the post-apocalyptic ruins.

After regaining his senses, Chen Kong looked at the black-haired man again.

The other person stood in the middle of the ruins, sunlight shining through the purple clouds onto him.

Looking at Chen Kong staring at him, the black-haired man grinned, revealing a set of bright white teeth.

He then uttered words that shook Chen Kong to his core.

"See that? A little guy from the new era."

"Miracles never come to the weak and cowardly, because they only favor those who dare to defy fate."

"Therefore, whether it is illusion or reality, I, Ennet, will smash the 'mountain' called 'destiny' that stands in my way."

As soon as he finished speaking, the black-haired man turned to look at the star beast's nest, which he had blasted open with his punch.

Ignoring the swarming Star Ants still pouring out around him, he walked in on his own.

Watching his retreating figure, Chen Kong's heart couldn't help but pound wildly.

Because right after he heard this, he finally remembered where he had seen this 'familiar yet unfamiliar' black-haired man before—in the 'Hall of Fame' portrait in the halls of the various Star Envoy Associations.

And this black-haired man was none other than the founder and president of the Star Envoy Association, Ennet, in his youth.

So the prototype of this simulated occupied area is actually a scene that President Ennet experienced when he was young?
Thinking of this, Chen Kong couldn't help but admire the seemingly frail figure in the distance.

In an era when everyone was filled with despair and madness, there were those who were absolutely convinced of their choices.

And in that dark and terrifying era, they actually carved out a 'path' out of nothing.

According to the simulation logic of the holographic pod, what appears before him now is merely a memory projection containing a portion of the 'Ennet personality'.

Even so, the young 'Ennet' still noticed the difference between himself and him.

He accurately guessed that this was a simulated, illusory scene, and that he was a latercomer who did not belong to his era.

Thinking of this, Chen Kong couldn't help but sigh.

"If a mere memory from the past is this terrifying, just how powerful is the real Grand Master?"

[Dimensional Bullet Comment Section]

'Holy crap! This guy is actually Grandmaster Ennet! No wonder he's so strong!'

'That aura is absolutely amazing! So powerful!'

"That line from 'Smashing Through the Mountain of Fate' is so inspiring! It captures the 'passion' of the old era!" "The simulated virtual characters can predict reality; those who can change the times are truly ruthless."

While the comments section was still buzzing with heated discussion about Ennett in his younger days,

At the entrance of the holographic simulation experience store in the real-world Yellow-level zone, the occupied zone.

"Welcome, may I ask what's wrong?"

The receptionist had just started speaking in a formulaic manner when she noticed, while looking down, that the two people in front of her had unusual wristwatches.

There are three types of wristwatches in the Tianwu Training Base.

'Gray Starlight for ordinary residents', 'Silver Moonlight for ordinary trainees', and 'Gold Sunlight' for a very small number of 'Heavenly-level trainees'.

The 'gold watch' not only symbolizes potential, but also the status of these people in the Tianwu Training Base.

"Help me choose a first-generation holographic simulator from the old era."

Tiandao looked at the receptionist who was momentarily stunned and stated the purpose of his visit directly.

Upon hearing this, the receptionist immediately began activating the front desk's data terminal to search for the few remaining 'old-fashioned holographic simulation pods'.

After searching for a while, the receptionist said somewhat nervously, "I'm sorry, esteemed Mr. Sun, our store currently only has one old-fashioned holographic simulation pod that is still in normal operation, and it is in use. Would you be willing to wait a moment?"

"It doesn't matter."

Tiandao smiled, indicating that he didn't mind waiting a little longer.

The receptionist immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

He then led Tiandao and Caroline to the VIP lounge next door while hurriedly contacting his boss.

The sudden appearance of a distinguished Heavenly-level Sun-level student in the Yellow-level training area is a rare occurrence.

While waiting, Caroline, sitting next to Tiandao, began to look at information about the 'Old-fashioned First Generation Holographic Simulation Pod'.

[Old-fashioned, first-generation holographic simulator]

[Description: Unlike the new generation of holographic simulation pods that store simulation data in quantum space, the core data of the first-generation holographic simulation pod is recorded in the pod's local computing center. Therefore, each first-generation holographic simulation pod carries a strong 'personal imprint' and can automatically deduce some 'undesigned' simulation scenarios at certain specific times.]

[Note: The use of the first-generation simulation pod carries a certain risk of 'personality modification'.]

After seeing all this, Caroline looked up at the Heavenly Dao beside her and said, "Heavenly Dao, is there something in this first-generation holographic simulation pod that interests you?"

Heaven responded with a smile.

"Yes, and not just ordinary interest."

Looking at Tiandao's eager eyes and the rare 'excitement' in him.

Caroline immediately became curious.

After all, there aren't many beings that can elicit such an expression from the Heavenly Dao.

Thinking of this, Caroline immediately connected to the Quantum Center of the Tianwu Training Base and, using her 'permissions', began to browse through the information of the first-generation holographic simulation chamber in the store.

Soon, she discovered something in this batch of holographic simulation pods that might interest the Heavenly Dao.

As she browsed through them, she was shocked to discover that some of these holographic simulation pods contained memories from 'President Ennett' when he was young.

While most of these original simulation pods bearing Ennet's personal mark have been reworked, a small portion has been preserved.

One of them is this holographic simulation experience store in the occupied area right in front of us.

Knowing this, Caroline silently severed the connection with the Quantum Center of the Tianwu Training Base and turned to look at the Heavenly Dao.

"Heavenly Dao, you...you shouldn't cause too much of a commotion, right?"

Upon hearing this, Tiandao glanced at Caroline in surprise and said without realizing it, "Caroline, what do you mean by that? Don't you trust me to handle things?"

Caroline rolled her eyes at Tiandao, annoyed.

It is because of you that I am worried.

Although she didn't know exactly what the Heavenly Dao was going to do, she instinctively felt that the Heavenly Dao would definitely cause quite a stir in a little while.

And Wudou Tiandu is a 'floating city' that is theoretically on par with the first floating city, Star Trail Corridor.

If the Heavenly Dao causes too much trouble, even if she is the Grand Master's disciple, she might not be able to help him resolve it.
