Simulating the primordial era? That's way too extreme.

Chapter 102 Hello, My Other Self

"I got the perfect ending, and you only gave me a mediocre rating?!"

Zhao Si was both angry and amused.

Which game, after achieving a perfect ending, actually gets a mediocre rating from the player?

In real life, game developers would be devastated!

[Ding! The perfect ending for the player and all the beings of the primordial world does not equate to a perfect ending for the primordial world itself.]

In truth, the player's second simulation was actually the most perfect one.

The game displayed this, and Zhao Si, who was initially angry, reluctantly thought about it:

Also.

Don't be fooled by Jin Bing's "perfect ending" this time; he's just a perfect patch-up artist at best.

In the end, the problem of the human race, the destined protagonist, was not solved at all, and the Heavenly Dao, which creates injustice, remained unchanged. Giving it a mediocre rating may not be fair, but it is indeed reasonable.

Jin Bing had considered turning his life around from a paper-mending craftsman to a leader; he also wanted to have enough strength to conquer the heavens.

If Heaven is willing to correct its ways, then everyone will be happy. But if Heaven does not change its ways, then smash Heaven's head and end all the mistakes!

Therefore, Jin Bing considered obtaining the Primordial Purple Qi, hoping to use it to attain sainthood and use the power of a saint to confront Hongjun Daozu.

Although he didn't know whether a sage could defeat the Heavenly Dao, the sage was, after all, the strongest power in his understanding, and the chances of victory were much greater!

However, the Dao Ancestor intervened.

The Primordial Purple Qi that Jin Bing had intended to keep was once again returned to its rightful owner, bestowed back to Hongyun by the lofty Dao Ancestor.

It's likely that Jin Bing at the time really wanted to kill this guy and seize the purple energy!

However, the Dao Ancestor, who had always been indifferent to worldly affairs, suddenly pulled this move, forcing Jin Bing to hesitate and ultimately abandon his plan to become a saint and attack the heavens...

Every step is fraught with pitfalls and various limitations.

Under the influence of a series of unforeseen circumstances, Jin Bing could only do his best to achieve this perfect ending as a paperhanger.

Even if the second round of simulations was bad, the Golden Emperor would still have dragged the human race down with him, ending the unreasonable concept of "destined protagonist" in the bloodiest and most tragic way.

The primordial ending in the second round is the best ending for the vast majority of the demon race.

So, this rating is average, which isn't really a mistake...

"Okay, okay!"

Zhao Si, who reluctantly accepted, pouted:

"What is the reward?"

The reward for this event is: "A Summoning Ticket from the game!"

[“Summoning Ticket from the Game”: This allows you to summon the game's main character to the real world, for a limited time of one day!]

Summon the protagonist?

"Isn't that just summoning Jin Bing into reality?! Another prehistoric invasion?"

Zhao Si frowned as soon as he saw it:

Although Jin Bing's true form is only a True Immortal, as the Heavenly Emperor who has earned real power through battle, his three incarnations are true Great Luo Golden Immortals. Once they come to the real world, they are humanoid natural disasters that can easily destroy the world!

As for whether Kim Byung himself was good or evil, that's actually not important.

Just like when the Sage Nuwa wanted to cross over to another realm using the Dao Fruit, although Zhao Si knew that this human saint was a good person, if she wanted to forcibly cross over, Zhao Si would not hesitate to let the game's security system kick her out!

[Ding! The system has taken this into consideration. Please use it as you see fit. The summoned Jin Bing has no power whatsoever, and his life or death is entirely in the host's hands.]

"Is that so..."

Zhao Si breathed a sigh of relief. Now that the system provided insurance, it wasn't impossible to summon Jin Bing, provided that safety was guaranteed.

"To be honest, I really want to see him in person!"

After all, it's a game character I've controlled so many times. As the Heavenly Emperor, he has a lot of charisma, so meeting him would be a rare experience.

"Alright, summon Jin Bing!"

[Ding! Summoning ticket used, summoning in progress...]

……

The Thirty-Third Heaven, the Lingxiao Palace.

Having just dealt with a multitude of political matters at the court assembly, Kim Byung sat alone on his throne after all the court officials had left, and couldn't help but feel a sense of melancholy:

To be a pleasure-seeking Heavenly Emperor would be incredibly enjoyable, with immense power, boundless desires, and the ultimate indulgences of treasures, beautiful women, and fine food!

But if one wants to be a truly valuable Heavenly Emperor, one must bind oneself to the throne and handle every matter of state affairs with utmost diligence and meticulousness, for fear that a moment of carelessness might lead to some great disaster.

Especially for a paperhanger like myself, I need to be extremely focused, not daring to relax even for a moment. The more perfect the paperhanger, the more exhausted I become, both physically and mentally. Luckily, I'm somewhat of an immortal, otherwise I would have died from exhaustion long ago...

"Being a chieftain is tiring, being a demon emperor is even more tiring, and being a heavenly emperor is tiring on top of the rest!"

At times like this, Jin Bing felt a certain admiration for Di Jun:

It must be said that this senior was indeed born to be an emperor; his absolute lust for power made him work incredibly hard.

But he didn't seem to mind the hard work; the more he worked, the more energetic he became. Sending him to Tanggu to retire made him unhappy, and he would occasionally submit a memorial to the throne, expressing that he could still contribute his remaining energy...

Jin Bing naturally rejected Di Jun's request to continue contributing. He had finally managed to send him away to retire, so why bring him back?

And so Jin Bing continued doing this day after day, and as for feeling mentally exhausted, that was nothing to worry about.

Everything we have has been through has been hard-won, so now that we have it, we should cherish it immensely...

"Forget it, once I get really fed up with it, I'll let Gento take over gradually."

Jin Bing sighed. Xuan Du, the heir he had long ago chosen, had been thoroughly educated by him for almost ten eons. Although his impulsive nature hadn't changed much, his overall qualities were now sufficient...

[Another version of yourself has sent you a meeting invitation... Currently transmitting your consciousness...]

"What?"

The voice that had always been there for him suddenly rang out, startling Jin Bing. Before he could think it through, his mind went blank.

The mighty Heavenly Emperor had silently fallen asleep at his desk.

……

[Summoning...]

After Zhao Si used the summoning ticket, a blurry shadow floated out from the phone screen.

Gradually, the illusory figure solidified, transforming into a young man in a yellow robe who bore an eight-tenths resemblance to Zhao Si.

[Ding! Summoning successful! Your character will return to the Primordial World in one day!]

The young man in the yellow robe stood blankly in the rented room, his style completely different from his surroundings. Arriving in this unfamiliar environment, he first looked around:

Simple and shabby!

This was Jin Bing's first impression of the unfamiliar little house. Although he didn't quite understand the furniture, he could still vaguely tell that it was a place to live.

Then, his gaze settled on that strikingly conspicuous fragment of the primordial world, and the doubt in his eyes gradually turned into understanding...

Finally, he met the eyes of the short-haired young man across from him who was holding a fat cat, and the two of them froze in surprise.

"You are...

The two spoke in unison, their eyes filled with curiosity and excitement.

Kim Byung had never been so excited as he was today. Out of politeness, he smiled and was the first to speak:

"Let's get to know each other again. My name is Jin Bing... Hello, my other self."

Hearing the young man in the yellow robe and ancient costume who looked remarkably like him greet him, Zhao Si felt a strange sense of time travel, as well as the excitement of meeting an online friend for the first time in person after many years.

"I...I'm Zhao Si. Hello, my other self!"

As he spoke, he subconsciously extended his right hand, wanting to shake hands with his "online friend".

Jin Bing was puzzled at first, then smiled knowingly and reached out his hand as well.

People from two different times and spaces truly shook hands...
