There are over a billion transmigrators in Battle Through the Heavens.

"No, I only have four simulation attempts left. I can't use them recklessly. I need to analyze this carefully."

"First of all, whether I keep the fragment of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame or not, I am doomed to die."

"Secondly, every time I died, it was after Xiao Yan left. Is there some connection between Lin Dong and Xiao Yan?"

"And why does Xiao Yan's performance differ from the original novel?"

"Could it be... that he is Xiao Yan who was transmigrated a second time?"

As his thoughts became clearer, Hai Bodong finally found the crux of the problem.

Xiao Yan!

There's something wrong with this Xiao Yan.

He is very likely not the original Xiao Yan, but a Xiao Yan who was transmigrated a second time.

As everyone knows, Xiao Yan is a time traveler.

However, Hai Bodong now suspects that the original transmigrator, Xiao Yan, has been transmigrated a second time.

The only question now is, who exactly is this Dao Sect Lin Dong?

After pondering for a long time, Hai Bodong still couldn't figure it out.

Finally, he conducted another life simulation.

"Ding, the fourth life simulation has begun."

"Today, you closed the shop, left Mo City, and spent the day peacefully."

"The next day, you arrived in Stone Desert City. You knew there was a girl named Qing Lin here who possessed the Jade Serpent Three-Flower Pupil, so you wanted to take her as your disciple before Xiao Yan could."

"However, as soon as you entered Stone Desert City, you encountered a man who claimed to be the Grand Elder of the Mo Family of Salt City."

"You two got into a fight over a disagreement, and you were instantly killed by your opponent in one move."

"This simulation is over. Congratulations on obtaining the Azure Serpent Three-Flower Pupil!"

……

"..." Hai Bodong.

At that moment, Hai Lao burst into tears.

I finally made it to the second day.

The Dao Sect Master Lin Dong, who was like a nightmare, never appeared again.

More importantly, he himself died again.

However, he obtained the Jade Serpent Three-Flower Pupil, which is known as the strongest pupil technique in the Dou Qi Continent.

"It seems that Lin Dong really does have some kind of relationship with Xiao Yan. However, how could the mere Grand Elder of the Mo Clan kill me in one move?"

"Even if I, Hai Bodonghu, am fallen from grace, I wouldn't die at the hands of a mere Dou Ling, would I?"

Hai Bodong was filled with doubt, not understanding why Mo Cheng could kill him.

At the same time, he was also thinking that he would die whether he left or stayed, so how could he survive?

"Or... I could just reveal my identity to Xiao Yan. We're from the same hometown, after all. He shouldn't be so ruthless as to try to kill me, right?"

"Moreover, regardless of whether he is a second time transmigrating into Xiao Yan, I can still provide him with some assistance in the early stages."

Thinking of this, Hai Bodong started another simulation.

"Ding! The fifth life simulation has begun!"

"Today, as usual, you were drawing maps in the shop, and the fragments of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame map were displayed on the shelf as always."

"Shortly afterward, a young man carrying a heavy ruler came to your shop to buy a map. When you met him, you exchanged a series of secret signals with him to confirm that you were both time travelers."

"Then, you expressed your desire to join forces with Xiao Yan to conquer the Dou Qi Continent, and voluntarily handed over all the fragments of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame Map. Xiao Yan readily agreed and asked what your cheat ability was."

"Being cautious, you only said that you were a soul transmigrated and had no special abilities. Xiao Yan sympathized with you and gave you some encouragement."

"As night fell, just after you saw Xiao Yan off, a man claiming to be Lin Dong of the Dao Sect broke down the door and killed you on the spot."

"This simulation is now complete. Congratulations on acquiring the Xuanzhong Ruler."

……

Looking at the simulation results, Hai Bodong couldn't help but burst into tears.

He was killed by Lin Dong again.

He was now 100% certain that this person who called himself Dao Zong Lin Dong was definitely related to Xiao Yan.

Otherwise, why would he always try to kill him after Xiao Yan leaves?

"That's not right!"

"I clearly expressed my willingness to join forces with Xiao Yan to conquer the Dou Qi Continent, so why did I still not escape death?"

Hai Bodong racked his brains, trying to find a way to survive; he didn't want to be eliminated immediately upon landing.

"Could it be that I wasn't sincere enough and deceived Xiao Yan, which led to my death?"

The moment the idea came to mind, Hai Bodong couldn't wait to start a new round of simulations.

This time, he will definitely cooperate with Xiao Yan very sincerely and will not hide anything from him.

"Ding! The sixth life simulation has begun!"

"Today, as usual, you were drawing maps in the shop, and the fragments of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame map were displayed on the shelf as always."

"Shortly afterward, a young man carrying a heavy ruler came to your shop to buy a map. When you met him, you exchanged a series of secret signals with him to confirm that you were both time travelers."

"Then, you expressed your desire to join forces with Xiao Yan to conquer the Dou Qi Continent, and voluntarily handed over the fragment of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame Map. Xiao Yan readily agreed and asked what your cheat ability was."

"You, adhering to the principle of honesty and openness, explained the system's functions to Xiao Yan."

"Your honesty won Xiao Yan's appreciation, and he took the initiative to refine the Breaking Calamity Pill for you, restoring your Dou Huang strength."

"The next day, with the help of the Breaking Pill, you successfully regained your former strength. The Ice Emperor Hai Bodong, who was once famous throughout the Jia Ma Empire, has once again reappeared in the world."

"Having regained your strength, you followed Xiao Yan to Stone Desert City, where you encountered the Grand Elder of the Mo Clan of Salt City once again. You intended to avenge your death in the previous simulation, but unexpectedly, you were once again instantly killed by him..."

"This simulation is now complete. Congratulations on obtaining one Breakthrough Pill."

……

"..." Hai Bodong.

Six times already!

I've died six times already!

He died four times at the hands of Lin Dong and twice at the hands of the Mo family's Grand Elder.

On Lin Dong's side, Hai Bodong had already figured it out—it was Xiao Yan who did it.

If I'm honest with him, I won't die anymore.

But what exactly is this Grand Elder of the Mohist School?

A minor character in the original story who was instantly killed by Xiao Yan's ghost possession was actually able to kill himself twice?

The first time was one thing, but he hadn't recovered his strength, so his death wasn't unjust.

But the second time, even though he was already a Dou Huang powerhouse, he was still instantly killed in one move.

He doesn't understand!

I really don't understand!

How could Mo Cheng, a mere nobody, kill me one after another?

Just as Hai Bodong was on the verge of collapse, a young man carrying a heavy ruler slowly walked in from outside.

Chapter 86 Xiao Yan, I'm even embarrassed to kill you.

Upon seeing the boy carrying the heavy ruler enter the shop, Hai Bodong immediately jumped out.

"Fellow villager, you've finally arrived."

I missed you so much!

Hai Bodong walked excitedly toward Xiao Yan, but Xiao Yan was so frightened that he punched him directly.

what's the situation?

Has Hai Bodong gone mad?

Xiao Yan looked at Hai Bodong walking towards him and thought to himself.

His purpose in coming here was very clear: to obtain the incomplete map of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame.

Moreover, he doesn't intend to take Hai Bodong as his bodyguard, as he did in the original story.

With my current strength, it makes no difference whether he's there or not.

Moreover, with the world becoming so abnormal, a mere Dou Huang like him truly has no way to participate.

Therefore, Xiao Yan's original plan was that if Hai Bodong knew what was good for him, he would take the fragment of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame map and leave.

If he doesn't know his place and tries to outsmart him, then Xiao Yan can't be blamed for being ruthless and killing to steal his treasure.

But no matter how much he planned, he never expected that as soon as he arrived, the other party would call him a fellow villager.

Could it be that Hai Bodong is also a time traveler?

With this thought in mind, Xiao Yan listened to the other person's thoughts.

His system has now been upgraded to LV4, and he has bypassed Hai Bodong's system without anyone noticing, overhearing his thoughts.

[I, Hai Bodong, finally managed to time-travel once, but the longest I've ever lived was less than three days.]

For the sake of my life, I have to cling to Xiao Yan's coattails. Hopefully, his luck as the chosen one will save me from an early death!

Hai Bodong's thoughts made Xiao Yan frown slightly. Wasn't the other party alive and well?

How could you say that the longest you've ever lived was less than three days?
