It's just a simulation game, how did the fairy become real?

The person Hua Jingyun described seemed quite different from the one Su Chen remembered.

"Something must have happened; the once smooth, mirror-like ruins have been transformed into the forest we see today."

Let's go.

There's practically nothing left at Tianzheng Gate.

The fundamental principles of Tianzheng Sect lie within Hua Jingyun.

Apart from this technique, the Tianzheng Sect has nothing else.

Su Chen nodded, and just as he was about to get up, he felt a tremor beneath him.

The rocks rustled, and dust filled the air.

When the view cleared again, the original pool had disappeared, replaced by a huge chessboard.

There was also a broken chess game set up on top.

And unsurprisingly, that level was also the difficulty of a beginner's game.

"Is Tianzheng Gate... still here?"

Su Chen immediately thought of the real Tianzheng Gate.

These past two days, I've been dreaming about chess games whenever I fall asleep. Could it be that Tianzheng Gate is behind this?

Su Chen was about to try to persuade Hua Jingyun to leave, but before he could even open his mouth, Hua Jingyun had already taken action and finished the game.

Feeling the call, before Su Chen could even resist, the scenery before him changed.

Familiar people, familiar chessboard, familiar place.

Everything in sight was exactly the same as in the game.

"how?

Unable to speak?

More than a thousand years have passed, have I become strange?

Once the other party spoke, Su Chen dared not speak again.

When the spirit of the Tianzheng Sect didn't act like an NPC, Su Chen had already begun to doubt its abilities.

At this moment, the other party spoke to him as if they were old acquaintances.

This made Su Chen realize that the other party was definitely not that simple.

"Things aren't as complicated as you think."

The other person pointed vaguely at Su Chen's heart, meaning, "I know what you're thinking."

"Back then, I made a bet with someone."

The gamble is that two thousand years from now, a demonic cultivator will choose to exchange his own life for someone else's.

He possessed the body of a demonic cultivator but performed righteous deeds.

In addition to the time, even the location was determined.

You just happened to be present during the bet.

In the end, you chose to leave my territory twice in a row, without hesitation.

I'd trade my life for hers.

Of course, this was tantamount to changing the fate of the entire world.

The other person beckoned, and Hua Jingyun appeared beside them. However, judging from her blank expression, she most likely couldn't see their presence.

"And I'm willing to accept the loss and wait for you to reappear."

If you're willing, I can wholeheartedly assist you.

Until you become a Nascent Soul.

Just as legend has it, the path to becoming a Nascent Soul cultivator is indeed hidden within the gates of Tianzheng.

However, I cannot give it to you for free.

You need to gradually build up this world to a point where it can support the emergence of Nascent Soul cultivators.

After the other person finished speaking, they looked at Su Chen silently, seemingly waiting for his answer.

"I reject."

The world has been in decline for a long time.

More than a thousand years ago, it was already in a state of continuous decline.

Now that things have finally started to rise a bit, who knows when they will return to a level sufficient to support the emergence of a Nascent Soul?

The decline over thousands of years is something that probably cannot be completely reversed in a lifetime.

To dedicate one's entire life to doing something that is completely impossible.

Su Chen won't take this deal!

"If the cause has already occurred, the effect will naturally follow."

Your refusal now does not mean you will refuse in the future.

I'll wait for you to change your mind.

Chapter 117 You chose a path destined to be filled with grievances.

The moment the other person raised their hand again, a door knocker pattern appeared on Su Chen's forearm.

"When you need my help, please knock on this decorative door knocker."

I can solve anything for you, but you must also remember that this is also a contract.

If you choose to receive my help, it means you will have to do what I just said.

After listening, Su Chen knocked on the door knocker.

"Get this thing away, I don't need it."

"You don't have to be so resistant. One day, you will genuinely want me to help you."

The other person shook their head and chuckled softly.

"To convince you that I'm genuinely trying to help you, how about I do you a favor?"

The opponent gestured for Su Chen to sit at the chessboard.

There is nothing wrong with your soul and memory.

The real problem is with yourself.

The opponent drew two lines on the chess piece with their finger.

"Just like this chess piece on the table, it may seem to be divided into four, but it is actually still one piece."

What you need to do is strip away your current identity.

Don't dwell too much on past experiences.

Otherwise, what you fear will definitely happen, and it will only get worse.

"Don't I know all this?"

Su Chen was speechless. He understood the logic, otherwise he wouldn't have been so determined to leave the capital.

And during this period, he didn't make any moves.

Don't rush.

This bell was a gift from the person I made a bet with.

It's a perfect match for you.

When you feel confused, the bell will ring, thus separating you from the chaos.

Given time, once you have truly solidified your sense of identity, you will naturally no longer fear future changes.

Su Chen watched silently as the other person held the bell in their hand, without reaching out.

"If I really wanted to harm you, I would have done it the moment you came in. Why would I need to go through all this trouble?"

Caution is a good thing.

Being overly cautious is not a good thing.

"Really useful?"

"You'll understand once you put it on."

I have other guests, so I won't keep you any longer.

The other person waved, and when Su Chen blinked again, he was already standing by the pool.

He held a small bell tightly in his hand, and a door knocker pattern had appeared on his arm.

Hua Jingyun stood beside him, her eyes closed, as if she were lost in thought.

The other party's guest should be Hua Jingyun.

"Miss, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

"Have you been waiting?"

Hua Jingyun was slightly surprised.

After entering this space, I haven't seen a single person.

She thought there was no one here at all.

Upon seeing the other party, Hua Jingyun's first reaction was that the other party was testing her, but the word "long wait" caught her somewhat off guard.

"Yes, sorry to keep you waiting."

"May I ask who you are, senior?"

Where is this place?
