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

Chapter 45 Primordial Invasion (Bonus Chapter and Plot Explanation)

(I was emotionally overwhelmed by the last chapter, so I'm adding an extra chapter today to explain the plot...)

"Who should we call?"

Zhao Si stepped out of the primordial fragment and pondered with great interest how to reuse this ruined piece of primordial energy, and who to ask for help...

However, plans never keep up with changes, and almost immediately, the phone suddenly emitted a sharp warning sound:

Ding!

Then, the primordial fragment, the size of a square table, suddenly shone with a brilliant purple light, illuminating the room with a purple glow. The light grew stronger and stronger, as if some mysterious power was using it as a coordinate to gradually transmit and surge towards the room...

Ding!

Another sharp clang rang out, and the purple light was extinguished in an instant as if struck by a heavy blow, and the fragments of the primordial world gradually returned to calm.

"What's wrong?!"

Zhao Si, who was planning her dream, was shocked and quickly looked at her phone screen:

[Warning! An attempt by a Primordial Origin-level being to cross-dimensionally invade has been detected. The security system has automatically blocked it!]

what? !

This familiar intrusion message left Zhao Si dumbfounded:

If I remember correctly, there was a primordial invasion when I first obtained the Sage Dao Fruit. That time it was the Heavenly Dao Sage Nuwa. Fortunately, it was repelled and intercepted by the security system. Otherwise, it's hard to say what would have happened in reality!

The Dao Fruit of a Sage is something at the origin level of the primordial world, and the current fragments of the primordial world are also at the origin level...

"Gurgle..."

Having survived the ordeal, Zhao Si swallowed hard and asked in a trembling voice:

"Who is the intruder?"

If the Dao Fruit of the Sage is something that Nuwa possessed, then Nuwa was able to cross realms using it.

Whose possession is that fragment of the primordial world?!

【Hongjun (Heavenly Dao)】

"Hongjun..."

Zhao Si, still shaken, felt her legs almost cramp. Nuwa was terrifying enough; what would happen if Hongjun, who had attained the Dao, came...?

"fortunately……"

Zhao Si breathed a sigh of relief, secretly praising the game's security system for being so effective that it could even kick Hongjun, who had reached the Dao Integration stage, offline.

But the next moment, a purple light shone again from the fragment of the primordial world, startling Zhao Si so much that he immediately called out to the system:

"Here it comes again! Here it comes again! Kick it already!"

No cross-border intrusion was detected.

"what?"

Zhao Si pointed blankly at the primordial fragments emitting a burst of purple light:

"This is what you call no intrusion?!"

[Upon investigation, the area invaded was within a fragment of the primordial world. This area does not belong to the real world, therefore it does not constitute an invasion of reality.]

Secondly, the fragments of the primordial world are completely isolated from the outside world, so players need not worry about them invading reality.

No need to worry? No need my foot!

Zhao Si immediately became anxious:

"If the grand prize I finally won gets invaded and taken over, wouldn't it be completely ruined?!"

[Ding! The Primordial Heavenly Dao cannot send too much power; at most, it can only send some primordial beings. Players can completely repel the invaders with their own strength.]

"Hmm? What's their strength?"

[Mostly Mystic Immortals.]

Zhao Si: ...

I'm just a nobody without even a cultivation technique, and you expect me to defeat a Xuanxian?!

Before Zhao Si could even begin to curse, the purple light had already begun to fade. Zhao Si quickly moved closer to the fragment of the Primordial World to observe the changes:

There, a group of various demon races revealed their enormous forms. They had been transported here by the Heavenly Dao, somewhat bewildered by their situation, and could only wander aimlessly across this scorched earth after the war, trying to figure out where they were...

"Oh no! My other free gifts!"

Zhao Si suddenly realized that his free gifts were still inside, and he was instantly terrified. Before the group of wandering demons could reach where he had put the gifts, Zhao Si gritted his teeth and risked entering the fragment of the primordial world:

"F!"

……

As soon as he landed, Zhao Si grabbed the Sage Dao Fruit, which was still generating spiritual energy, and then grabbed the certificate of merit and the dragon blood, putting all of these items into his sea of ​​consciousness.

He carried the Immortal-Slaying Sword in his hand for self-defense, while simultaneously summoning the Golden Crow True Fire, which still hung in the sky like the sun.

"Come back quickly!"

Upon receiving its master's summons, the Golden Crow True Fire, still engrossed in its task, reluctantly descended...

The sun set, and the scene was spectacular. The demons hadn't noticed it before, but seeing the setting sun instantly triggered the PTSD ingrained in their blood!

"Is that the false emperor's Golden Crow Fire?!"

"The false emperor is still alive?!"

The demon was so frightened that his legs went weak and he fell to the ground on the spot. After all, the scene of the false emperor using the true fire he had tricked from the ten princes of the Golden Crow to slaughter people all over the prehistoric world was too terrifying!

Wherever the true fire passed, everything turned to scorched earth. Countless demons, young and old, and their homes were reduced to ashes in the flames. In the western wilderness, where the slaughter was most severe, the Golden Crow Fire burned several demon states at once, leaving the land barren and desolate!

Everyone was a survivor, so naturally they were genuinely afraid.

But some demons became enraged:

"False Emperor! Give me back my wife and children!"

"False Emperor! You will pay for the lives of my million Cloud Lion clan members!!!"

"kill!!!"

The demons, who had directly suffered from Jin Bing's massacre, went mad and rushed headlong toward the place where the sun set, disregarding everything else.

"I'm not Kim Bing!"

Zhao Si was so frightened he almost lost his soul. Seeing that the Golden Crow Fire wouldn't fall for a while, he made up his mind:

"No, I only have two offensive freebies left, and I don't know when I'll get the next one. I can't lose the Golden Crow Fire!"

The opponents on the other side are mostly Xuanxian (Mysterious Immortals). Although I am even weaker, having only just begun to cultivate Qi, I possess the Immortal-Slaying Sword!

It is a powerful weapon of the acquired spiritual treasure level. Even a Golden Immortal can still use it. Theoretically speaking, even based solely on the weapon's strength, it would be no problem to cut down a Xuan Immortal or two.

It doesn't lack damage, it's just that its main body is too fragile and can't withstand any damage at all.

In theory, as long as I make the first move, I can kill it instantly!

"So be it, let's just go for it!"

With gritted teeth and relying on the confidence brought by the Immortal-Slaying Sword, Zhao Si gripped the hilt tightly.

[Kill! Kill ...

The Immortal-Slaying Sword seemed to sense the killing intent; its blade trembled, and its spirit roared madly.

Spurred on, Zhao Si, wielding his sword, fiercely swung it at the mountain-like beast charging towards him.

A wisp of sharp golden sword energy pierced through the air!

The next moment, a giant lion the size of a mountain roared in agony as its body was easily cleaved in two.

However, being a primordial species that had just reached the True Immortal stage, even a newly acquired spiritual treasure couldn't destroy it with a single sword strike without the aid of magical power. The giant lion, broken in two, howled in agony, showing no signs of dying for a long time...

Zhao Si: ...

Indeed, the scenario that mortals imagine, where they can slay gods with a divine weapon, is mostly impossible, especially when the life levels of the two sides are not even on the same level.

However, the power of this sword strike, coupled with their instinctive fear of Jin Bing, still managed to bring the hot-blooded demons to their senses:

"The Immortal-Slaying Sword?!"

Oh no! It really is that fake emperor!

They were acting on impulse, but their actual strength was lacking. After Zhao Si's sword strike, everyone's eyes cleared up...

"good!"

The demons hesitated and dared not step forward, which pleased Zhao Si. At the same time, the Golden Crow Fire finally descended.

With a wave of his hand, the Golden Crow Fire landed in his palm; a thought flashed through his mind:

"F!"

Suddenly, darkness fell, and when the terrified demons looked again, the figure that resembled the false emperor Jin Bing had vanished without a trace.

"this……"

An elephant demon glanced at the still-screaming giant lion, hesitated for a moment, and then suggested to the other demons:

"Report it?"

"Report this!"

"This definitely needs to be reported. Jin Bing is very likely not dead. Have them bring more demons. This remnant of the world must be controlled to prevent the false emperor from making a comeback!"

"Um!"

……

"call!"

Still shaken, Zhao Si sat on the bed, hugging her grumpy fat cat to calm her nerves, while thanking herself for reacting quickly, otherwise she would have been in deep trouble today.

"It seems we won't be able to utilize this fragment of the primordial world for the foreseeable future..."

After all, he had just shown his face and was mistaken by the demons for Jin Bing. They were definitely frantically calling for help and searching everywhere, ready to die if anyone dared to go.

"Damn it!"

Enraged, Zhao Si grabbed the Immortal-Slaying Sword and plunged it into a giant demon on the fragment, attempting a sneak attack.

Unfortunately, the fragmented world was not reality. When Zhao Si's Immortal-Slaying Sword pierced through, there was only a sharp clang, and it couldn't affect anything in that world at all...

"No! I can't just lose a source-level gift like this!"

Zhao Si hardened his heart and glared at the giant demons roaming around on the fragment a few more times.

He admitted that this unexpected invasion of the primordial world completely disrupted his plans; the cultivation world was no longer possible, and building a demon world would be more feasible.

Moreover, even if the demon race really does build a home here, it won't belong to Zhao Si!

Nominally, this fragment of the primordial world was his private property, but in reality, it had been occupied by this group of demons, which Zhao Si could not accept.

"Continue the simulation!"

Having exhausted all other options, Zhao Si could only pin her hopes on simulation games:

"This time, I will improve my cultivation level as much as possible in order to obtain the gift that will best enhance my current cultivation level..."

[Ding! This round of simulation has been fully completed and is returning to the initial node...]

[Because you have obtained sufficient information in the previous simulation, this simulation will have more option nodes and more freedom than before, and the plot will therefore deviate accordingly.]

【…】

On an ordinary day in the 365th year of the Primordial Demon Calendar, the 7th cycle, and the 2nd phase, a small incident occurred among the Golden Dragon Clan, a second-class sea race under the Demon Court located in the southern part of the Eastern Sea of ​​the Primordial World. An egg laid by the Golden Dragon Queen before the 1st phase unexpectedly hatched, and thus you were born.

[You should have continued on as you did in your first life, but memories of the past kept flooding back... Having learned from the experiences of your previous two lives, you became a "reborn" in your third life. The moment you, as a young child, broke free from your eggshell, you vowed to make amends for your past regrets.]

So, what do you choose?

[A: A human chieftain who doesn't aspire to be the Heavenly Emperor isn't a good dragon! Replicating the past life's path, avoiding past regrets. B: The Heavenly Court and all that are meaningless. What's the point of becoming the Heavenly Emperor? I'm going to slack off, let's start!]

This simulation was completely different from the last one from the very beginning...

……

(Regarding simulation, this is of course the main theme of the book, but if it is all simulation, it will inevitably create a sense of disconnect between the plot and personality between reality and simulation, which will not last long. Readers who have read this type of book should be aware of this.)

Therefore, I want to avoid this problem. While ensuring the main storyline of the simulation, I also want to make sure that the real-life protagonist has a certain degree of plot relevance. Otherwise, the two protagonists will be too split in personality, and the story will definitely fall apart in the later stages.

Brothers, although my writing isn't very good, please give me a chance to improve the formula for simulation novels. I don't want to get stuck with writing problems and abandon the story later, or just make easy money (*)).
