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

Chapter 103 Settling the Past Life

"Please forgive any shortcomings in our hospitality..."

After a brief introduction, a happy Zhao Si wanted to treat his good friend to a meal as usual, but unfortunately the game was not being updated and the rented house was locked, so he couldn't go out at all.

He had no choice but to rummage around the house and find two buckets of instant noodles he had bought last time, making one for himself and one for Jin Bing.

And so, the mighty Heavenly Emperor stood there dumbfounded, holding a bowl of braised beef-flavored instant noodles...

"This... is quite unique."

Jin Bing quickly understood the basic principle of instant noodles. Although he had never seen such a thing before in the prehistoric world, he still gave it a polite compliment.

While waiting for his instant noodles, Zhao Si, who had always been very interested in the prehistoric world, started chatting with him:

"...I know the gist of what happened over there..."

As they recounted their past experiences, Kim Byung gradually added with a smile. Once the two started talking, they became like long-lost brothers, as if they had known each other for a long time...

"So, since you became the Heavenly Emperor, you've been busy with these political affairs?"

Zhao Si asked curiously.

"I'd rather not be busy."

Kim Byung sighed:

"But now I am responsible for all the ancient beings in the four wastelands and the Central Plains. I have to lead them upwards and control the changes in the thoughts of the human race... I will not be able to rest for the time being."

"Oh! The prehistoric weightlifting champion!"

Jin Bing: ?

Although he didn't quite understand what his other self was saying, he grasped the general meaning and replied:

"You flatter me, you flatter me..."

Zhao Si asked curiously again:

"So, you really don't intend to become a saint? To completely solve the problems of the human race, it is absolutely impossible for anyone below the level of a saint to do so."

"What can I do?"

Jin Bing finally found someone to pour out his grievances to:

"Originally, I wanted to directly ask Hongyun for repayment, after all, he saved my life... but who knew this guy wouldn't fall for that at all, the debt of saving my life is not as important as his Primordial Purple Qi..."

"I tried to forcibly keep it, but the Dao Ancestor of the Outer Heavens interfered again. He returned it directly to Hongyun. I can't just snatch it, can I? Hongyun is a minor matter; the Dao Ancestor's attitude is the real problem..."

To be honest, although Jin Bing has always been an upright person, the Primordial Purple Qi was just too important, and he did consider using some means to seize it.

But after the Dao Ancestor made his move, he completely gave up hope...

"This is clearly targeting you!"

Zhao Si scratched his head and pondered:

"It's probably because your banner is too prominent. Openly advocating equality with the chosen protagonist is clearly an act of opposing the will of Heaven."

"You dare to challenge the Heavenly Dao before you've even become a saint. What will you be like after you become a saint?"

"Although Hongjun didn't directly strike you dead with lightning, his interference in your plot to seize the Primordial Purple Qi was itself an attempt to prevent you from gaining the ability to attack Zixiao Palace..."

"There's no other way!"

Jin Bing shrugged and said helplessly:

"My time is limited. Without working with humanity to achieve equality, it's impossible for me to have enough power before the Heavenly Emperor issues the decree to slaughter people."

That's true.

Without equality, it's just a repeat of the first and second rounds of simulations, inevitably leading to an irreversible outcome.

But if you achieve equality, then the old man Hongjun will just give you a mechanical deus ex machina. What can you do?

"As expected, this game is inherently unequal in strength between the enemy and ourselves. No matter how well you micro-manage, the enemy will always have a Deus Exusiai..."

Zhao Si couldn't help but make a comment.

"game?"

Jin Bing was somewhat curious:

"Is it that thing that lets you make decisions for me?"

"Yes, that's it!"

Since Jin Bing couldn't possibly threaten him, Zhao Si hesitated for only a moment before handing over his phone.

Jin Bing carefully accepted this "divine artifact" that could determine the survival of the primordial world. With Zhao Si's help, he flipped through historical information and, for the first time, viewed his three lifetimes from a written perspective...

As he read each section, Jin Bing began to recall the events and match them one by one with the positions of the text columns, a look of understanding gradually appearing on his face.

After watching, Jin Bing seemed to have reviewed his three lifetimes of reincarnation, and was filled with many emotions:

"A few lines of text have encapsulated my deeds over these several dozen years..."

He handed the phone back to Zhao Si and commented:

"However, these texts are too brief and not comprehensive at all."

"Who can argue with that!"

Zhao Si also started complaining:

"For example, I've always wanted a cultivation technique, but this stupid game doesn't display any techniques at all, and the gifts they give are all so inexplicable. None of them actually give me any cultivation power..."

As she spoke, Zhao Si took out all the free gifts one by one and listed them out:

"The Kunpeng Certificate taught me demonic language and script, but it's useless."

"The Dao Fruit of a Saint is touted as being of a high level, but in my hands, it can only produce spiritual energy."

"Azure Dragon Blood and the Five Elements Fruit Tree—one turns you into a monster if you eat it, and the other only ripens once every three hundred years. They're utterly useless."

"The Immortal-Slaying Sword, the Golden Crow Fire, and the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl are powerful, but there's nowhere to use them."

"The Dharma Eye of Merit and the Dharma Eye of Karma are useless."

"The fragments of the primordial world are the worst; they're already occupied by the demon race from the second wave..."

Jin Bing: ...

Looking at these familiar items, Jin Bing felt a strange sense of nostalgia. As for his resentment towards Zhao Si, he didn't know what to say.

The main problem is that before he transmigrated, how could he have known that his other self had no cultivation at all? He initially thought that "himself" was a powerful being even more powerful than the Dao Ancestor...

"wrong!"

Jin Bing seemed to have grasped something crucial, and suddenly frowned and said:

"You're not a disciple of a saint, yet you can use your divine eye to see merit?"

"Sure!"

Zhao Si nodded as if it were the most natural thing in the world:

"Not only can I see, but I can also take things. The game says everything revolves around me, so as long as I do good deeds, I can earn merit points..."

Jin Bing: ...

Something's wrong! Something's very wrong!

"That's impossible!"

Jin Bing shook his head:

"Merit is a product of divine favor, and it is only linked to the chosen protagonist. You can only gain merit by helping the chosen protagonist... It's impossible for it to be based on you..."

After much thought, Jin Bing still couldn't figure it out, so he could only attribute everything to the mysterious game.

"As for the Five Elements Fruit Trees..."

Jin Bing said with a strange expression:

"Actually, you don't have to wait for it to bear fruit; you can just eat it directly, and the effect will be even better. Anyway, that's how you use elixirs..."

what?

Zhao Si was stunned. Although it seemed counterintuitive, upon closer reflection, it did make sense...

"And the fragments of the primordial world..."

Kim Byung got up and walked towards the square piece of land, as large as a dining table, his face gradually showing emotion and nostalgia.

He glanced at the bustling demons inside, then at the purple light symbolizing the invasion of the Heavenly Dao, before turning to Zhao Si and saying:

"I have two ways to handle this."

"What method?!"

Zhao Si said anxiously, these fragments of the primordial world that can only be viewed but not used are almost becoming a source of anxiety for him.

"The first type."

Jin Bing laughed:

"I will teach you the cultivation techniques. Once you have cultivated to a powerful level, you can drive them away yourself."

Zhao thought for a moment:

"What about the second one?"

"The second one..."

……

Fragments of the primordial era.

"Damn it, where has that fake emperor gone?"

A lion demon as tall as a mountain, cursing and swearing, searched everywhere for traces of Jin Bing, the false emperor of the Human Court.

"Who knows? It's definitely here!"

The other bull demon said in a muffled voice:

"The last time your cousin was cut in half by a sword, it was right here. There's no way the false emperor could have escaped this territory."

"Oh, by the way, is your cousin alright?"

"fine!"

The lion demon said smugly:

"That sword had no magical power; it just cut my brother's body in two... Luckily, he was a body cultivator. After piecing the two halves back together and resting for a few days, he was able to run and jump again!"

"As expected of someone who cultivates body techniques!"

The ox and the lion chatted casually as they walked...

Suddenly, a sun-like light rose up, dazzling everyone's eyes.

No! That's not the sun!

"It's the false emperor's Golden Crow Fire!"

The bull demon stared wide-eyed and immediately recognized the terrifying, sun-like flames in the sky.

Soon, all the demons rushed over in a hurry:

"Where is the false emperor?!"

"Let's all carry this on our shoulders!"

"That's right! With so many of us demons attacking at once, that false emperor won't be able to kill us all before he runs out of magic power!"

"..."

Although he was making threats, why did he sound so cowardly?

Before the demons could even complain, the golden crow fire in the sky fell to the ground, and a young man in yellow robes, so familiar that everyone would recognize him even if he were reduced to ashes, officially appeared before them:

The false emperor of the Human Court, Jin Bing!

"What should we do? Should we charge in?"

"A demon asked in a low voice."

The demons remained silent, but retreated a few steps in fear.

After all, everyone grew up listening to terrifying stories about the false emperor. It's fine to casually shout "Slay the false emperor" in normal times, but when the false emperor actually shows up in broad daylight, not many demons would dare to charge in...

The false emperor stood there openly in front of everyone, without saying a word. The demons dared not speak either, not even daring to breathe, for fear of being the first to be attacked.

The atmosphere gradually became oppressive.

After a long silence, the false emperor in yellow robes, illuminated by the golden crow's fire, finally spoke:

"Such a fine head, why doesn't the demon chop it off?"

Upon hearing this, the demons were even more terrified!

Just then, a man suddenly emerged from the corner, and to everyone's astonishment, he pointed at the false emperor and began to loudly curse him:

"False Emperor! I will never let you go!"

He spoke pure, authentic demonic language of the Old Demon Master, and anyone in the know could tell that he was a demon from the Thirty-Third Heaven, pure as could be!

To dare to openly criticize the false emperor—what a brave man!

Amidst the shocked or admiring gazes of the crowd, the transformed little demon produced a string of dazzling, multicolored radiant objects and roared as it hurled them at the false emperor:

"The false emperor shall die!"

The false emperor laughed loudly and unleashed a burst of bright golden crow fire, wielding the familiar Immortal-Slaying Sword as he charged straight at the little demon!

In an instant!

The boundless water elemental energy surged in all directions, and the sharp golden sword energy that chilled the demons to the bone flew wildly all over the place, along with the explosive golden crow fire.

The three powerful forces, far exceeding everyone's imagination, terrified the demons, who scrambled away to avoid them before daring to observe the battlefield from afar.

But once you get far away, under the cover of the golden crow's fire, you can't see anything clearly, you can only see that the two sides seem to be fighting a great battle...

After a long and fierce battle, with a sigh, the flames of the false emperor gradually dimmed until they were taken away by an unknown, transformed little demon.

The little demon, holding up the false emperor's corpse, cried out:

"The false emperor is dead! Victory to the Holy Emperor! Victory to the demon race!"

After he roared several times, the demons finally realized that something serious had happened.

In an instant, all the demons became excited and couldn't help but roar along:

"Victory to the Holy Emperor! Victory to the Demon Race!!!"

The false emperor of the Human Court, who defied the heavens and slaughtered all living beings, was finally buried after barely clinging to life!

A new chapter has been turned in the history of the primordial world!

……

Three lifetimes of primordial chaos, thirty-three heavens.

The Golden Emperor, who had been napping at his desk, slowly opened his eyes. When he saw the familiar Lingxiao Palace, he suddenly felt a sense of relief.

"Great Chief, why are you asleep? Are you feeling unwell...?"

Xuan Du, who had been keeping a close eye on the Heavenly Emperor, immediately went to his side and asked worriedly, fearing that something might have happened to the Heavenly Emperor's health:

"I saw you were asleep, so I didn't dare wake you..."

"It's alright, it's just putting an end to a knot in my heart."

The Heavenly Emperor said with a smile.

Huh? Sleeping will resolve your inner conflict?

Xuan Du looked completely bewildered...

"Alright, alright, let's move on to the next memorial. I'm about to begin!"

The Heavenly Emperor seemed to be in a good mood. Xuan Du was completely puzzled, so he pouted, left the hall, and continued to move the memorials inside.

The work of the Heavenly Emperor is never-ending...
