Just as she was about to defect, Bibi Dong obtained a simulator.

Chapter 93 IF·Hu Liena·Part 1
[Another similar world.]

"boom!"

A huge explosion rang out in the Papal Palace. When Hulena arrived, all she saw was the shattered papal throne and a pool of flesh mixed with colorful bone fragments.

"Who is this?"

Even though the members of the Spirit Hall next to her kept telling her that this was His Holiness the Pope, she still asked.

"Lady Hulena, this is His Holiness the Pope."

The man spoke tremblingly, almost speechless with fear at Hu Liena's terrifying gaze.

"You can step back now, I'll talk to her."

Xie Yue, who rushed over, quickly figured out what had happened. He pulled the person whose legs were already trembling away and then dragged Hu Liena to the side.

"Xie Yue, they're joking, right?"

Hu Liena grasped at Xie Yue's clothes as if she had just lost her last lifeline, just like the two siblings when they had just lost their parents in their childhood.

Xie Yue didn't speak; he simply gently touched his younger sister, who was unwilling to accept reality.

He then pulled her into his arms, offering her silent comfort.

"Get some sleep. You're just too tired. This is all just a dream."

Xie Yue carried Hu Liena to her room in a gentle tone, covered her with a blanket, and left only after she had cried herself to sleep and her breathing had calmed down.

But no one saw a beam of white light fly in from outside the window and go straight into Hu Liena's mind.

[Detection in progress, matching rate 97%, binding initiation.]

[You have obtained the Life Simulator. Would you like to enter the Life Simulator directly?]

"what?"

Hu Liena was half asleep and even if she heard clearly, she wouldn't understand it for a while.

[Would you like to start a life simulation?]

[Would you like to start a life simulation?]

【.】

"Fine, let's start, but can you please stop making a fuss!"

The emulator's beeping stopped abruptly, remaining silent for a few seconds.

[Life simulation has started.]

[Current number of selectable objects in the simulation: two]

[You have agreed to start the simulation. Please select the simulation option before the countdown ends. The most reasonable option will be automatically selected for you when the time runs out.]

[Simulated characters: Hu Liena, Xie Yue.]

[Countdown has ended. Hu Liena has been automatically selected for you.]

When Huliena woke up from her dream, after a moment of dizziness, she found herself once again standing in the Papal Palace.

"What am I?"

She looked at her somewhat transparent palms with a puzzled expression, then waved to the people passing by.

But no one paid any attention to her until someone walked straight through her body, at which point Hu Liena realized something was wrong.

At nineteen, you were awarded the Purple Record Medal, showered with glory, and became known as one of the Spirit Hall's "Golden Generation" alongside Xie Yue and Yan.

A line of text appeared before Hu Liena's eyes, and then her perspective slowly shifted into the Papal Palace, where the crowd applauded.

On the high seat, Bibi Dong smiled and personally pinned the badges on the three of them.

"teacher!?"

Hu Liena rushed over, but missed her. She stumbled and knelt on the ground, looking up at the scene of Bibi Dong and another version of herself staring at each other.

This was something she had just experienced not long ago, and now it was playing out again before her eyes. [Months later, with a loud bang, your teacher died. No one knew the cause of her death, and the entire Spirit Hall was gripped by fear.]

Hu Liena remained in the same position, and the scene before her eyes slowly changed again.

Everyone else disappeared, leaving only Bibi Dong sitting alone in the hall, eyes closed, seemingly deep in thought.

In the next instant, a white light flew from outside the Papal Palace and crashed straight into Bibi Dong.

Hu Liena felt a sharp pain in her eyes, and the next moment, with a loud bang, the scene before her eyes changed to the same devastation she had seen that morning.

She stared wide-eyed in disbelief at the spot where her teacher had once sat, now reduced to a pool of flesh mixed with fragments of soul bones.

At this moment, the High Priest of the Temple of Worship, Thousand Paths, emerged. He took on the responsibilities of the Pope and brought order to the turmoil caused by the death of your teacher.

Just as you were still immersed in grief, Qian Daoliu summoned you.

He retrieved the inheritance left by your teacher, as well as a will she had written long ago.

Hu Liena looked at the line of text, quickly got up, and leaned closer to herself, who was reading the letter while shedding tears.

The letter was written in neat, small handwriting, recounting many things about Bibi Dong and the things she left for Hu Liena.

Bibi Dong carefully divided her estate in two, giving one half to you and the other half to her daughter, Qian Renxue.

[In accordance with her last wishes, Qian Daoliu has entrusted your share to you, hoping that you will continue to shine brightly in the Spirit Hall.]

Looking at Bibi Dong's heartfelt words, Hu Liena burst into tears, and the simulated scene began to dim, as if waiting for her emotions to return to normal.

It wasn't until Hu Liena was exhausted from crying that she began to think about what was going on.

"Where am I?"

You are currently in a life simulation, and the simulation is recreating your own life.

"Life Simulator? My Life?"

Yes, you have acquired a life simulator, which allows you to select a simulation partner and view their future life.

"Can I go out? If Xie Yue can't find me, she'll definitely think I committed suicide."

Hu Liena asked cautiously, afraid that this thing, which was outside her understanding, might do something extreme.

You can rest assured during the simulation; time will not continue to flow outside the simulation.

"Oh."

Hu Liena stared at the line of text, unsure of what to do next.

[Don't be afraid. The life simulator's principle is to provide the host with the highest quality service and will not cause you any harm.]

"So I can leave once the simulation is over?"

Yes, after the simulation ends, you can wait three days to get another chance to participate.

"Okay, then you can continue."

Hu Liena finally accepted reality; even if it was a dream, she wanted to keep watching.

After returning to your bedroom, you read Bibi Dong's last words over and over again; she had already come to regard you as her own daughter.

[Among these precious things, you can sense something calling to you.]

It was a small statue with a hideous face, wielding a giant scythe and clad in demonic armor. Even as a statue, it sent a chill down your spine, as if you held the most evil thing in the world in your hands.

Hu Liena looked at her simulated self holding the small statue, as if she were a human being tempted by the devil in a fairy tale.

"What did the teacher leave me?"

When you infuse your soul power into it, streams of pale green energy merge with you.

Only then did you realize that what lay before you was actually a token that could allow you to step into the realm of gods.
