I only want to win over the fairy.

All the efforts I've made are by no means entirely in vain!

The plot then progressed quite smoothly, almost as if a happy ending was already on its way.

Because of your growth, Xiao Jinxuan carefully cherishes you, never taking anything from you. You two have spent a happy and fulfilling week together.

Your relationship is progressing rapidly.

A week later, Qin Xin brought the White Emperor's corpse to you. Upon learning of what had happened between you and Xiao Jinxuan, she was slightly unhappy, but still sincerely wished you both well.

[Due to the breakthrough in her mental state, Xiao Jinxuan's strength is showing signs of a breakthrough. You attach great importance to this and impart all your insights into the Emperor Realm to her. After receiving your teachings, Xiao Jinxuan begins to exude a trace of Emperor Realm aura.]

You are awestruck by the speed at which your master has broken through.

Having already touched that threshold, Xiao Jinxuan began her seclusion, attempting to break through to the Great Emperor realm and suppress this era.

Good days are coming, family!

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, this time they're likely to deliver what they consider the most perfect ending!

For you, everything seems to be going well.

[The arrival of an uninvited guest disrupted all your plans. Gui Ming, who saw you as someone to be eliminated, vowed to kill you. You combined the White Emperor's corpse and the Emperor's weapon in an attempt to fight him, only to discover that Gui Ming was not a Supreme Being, but a peak-level Flawless Emperor. You suffered a crushing defeat, and even after merging with Zi, you were still unable to defeat him.]

Sensing the danger you were in, Xiao Jinxuan hastily emerged from seclusion, but was still no match for Guiming. Unable to bear witnessing a hopeless end, you unhesitatingly used the power of Zi within you to summon divine punishment from the heavens.

[After the divine punishment, Guiming and all the supreme beings of Guiming Heaven will perish together, and you too will soon reach the end of your life.]

Looking at your impending death, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't accept it. She couldn't bear to return to the time when she had nothing. She didn't want to experience the feeling of having everything taken away again. Compared to your death, she preferred to accept her own. In her final moments, she confessed her love to you and gave you her life.

"I will fall into death in exchange for your rebirth."

On that day, the world was drastically changed. Despair, disaster, and misfortune descended upon the world. The ruler of the world passed away, and the end of the world arrived!

Chapter 158 The Pain of Losing My Beloved, Desolation Everywhere

"There's no going back."

"I was never accepted after all. I was still deluding myself into thinking I could live with you. It turns out the world never gave me that chance to find happiness."

"I have nowhere to go back to. Everything I have has been taken from me, so at least, I don't want to watch you be taken from me right before my eyes in the end."

To express her gratitude for your kindness to this day, to thank you for your gifts to her, and to thank you for letting her feel love again, Xiao Jinxuan dedicates her body, her soul, everything she owns, including her future, to you...

The souls of the departed return to the earth.

[You, who should have died, were given life again thanks to the sacrifice of your master, Xiao Jinxuan. Standing on the desolate land, gazing at the Tianxuan Peak that had been razed to the ground, your eyes were blinded by anger and hatred, and you lost your original passion.]

[The power that could have led the world and all living beings to a better future has been tainted; the power that will lead the world and all living beings to decay and ruin has descended!]

[I have lost my beloved forever, and all I see is ruin!]

pain!It hurts so much!

Just looking at the simulated text made Bai Yi feel excruciating pain, as if he were about to transform into a vengeful ghost.

Xiao Jinxuan is his master, the first relative he met in this world, and his wife. If she really dies, Bai Yi will probably go completely insane!

Moreover, in this simulation, everyone on Tianxuan Peak except himself died. Whether it was Qin Xin, Zi, or Su Qingyu, they were all dead. Under such circumstances, it was already quite remarkable that his mentality hadn't collapsed.

He took a deep breath to calm his increasingly agitated mind. Just then, dark clouds covered the sun, and several crows, symbolizing misfortune, flew across the gray-blue sky.

Since things have come to this, there's no need to think about anything else. The first priority is to find a way to revive Master before considering anything else. Since I was able to revive Jiang Yuehan in the second simulation, I can do the same for Master.

But what made him fall into deep thought, and what came earlier, was not so much the truth behind Xiao Jinxuan's death, but the real reason for her death and the murderer—Gui Ming.

Gui Ming is indeed one of the strongest among the Supremes, but a Supreme is still a Supreme. In the last simulation, he successfully defeated Gui Ming by combining the power of Zi, the White Emperor's Corpse, the Tai Xuan Heavenly Furnace, the Human Emperor Sword, and the White Emperor Sword. However, in this simulation, Gui Ming directly became a flawless peak Emperor.

The difference between a Supreme Being and an Emperor may seem to be only a matter of cutting off one's own flesh, but the higher one goes, the greater that difference becomes.

The difference between dropping from 100 to 90 and dropping from 150 to 90 is incomparable.

The former is because the limit is only that point, while the latter is because one needs to suppress oneself.

Gui Ming, a peak Emperor-level being, is not someone I can easily defeat with my cobbled-together power. If I were to face him, there would only be one outcome: death!

At this point, what methods should I devise to contend with the opponent, and what strategies should I use to defeat them and ultimately achieve victory?

Bai Yi pondered deeply, but could not find any way to counter it.

Since that's the case, then we can only resort to force. Since we can't fight back, we won't fight back. We'll first go to the outer realms and hide for a hundred or eighty years, then make a strong comeback and seize the throne of heaven in one fell swoop!

He planned to find Xiao Jinxuan and discuss the travel plans to other regions in detail.

However, while we're at it, let's check out the next developments of this simulation and try to snag some rewards. Ideally, we should be able to gain powerful combat strength as a reward in a short period of time.

Having lost your beloved, you are gradually overwhelmed by rage and despair. Using your position as acting sect leader, you take charge of the Xuan Tian Sect, using every spirit stone within its walls to try and revive Xiao Jinxuan.

[However, it was all in vain. You tried your best to resurrect her using the cycle of reincarnation, only to find that the cycle of reincarnation was already perfected, and resurrecting people using it had become a pipe dream. At this moment, every cell in your body is roaring! Howling! Raging!]

[You believe that Heaven will surely provide a solution, and that if you can become Heaven, there will be a way to resurrect Xiao Jinxuan. Driven by a desire for power, to replace Heaven and resurrect Xiao Jinxuan, you become ruthless and irrational.]

"What I ask for is so simple, yet I'm willing to do anything for it!"

"My heart is in turmoil! I will wreak havoc on the world, and nothing will escape its doom! Until she returns to my side!!"

Having inherited everything from Xiao Jinxuan, your strength is now incomparable. As you set foot on this land, calamity, despair, and misfortune descend upon it. The world of birdsong and fragrant flowers becomes desolate and decaying with your arrival. You plunder the spiritual roots and power of laws within cultivators, hoping to gather all attributes and all laws, to transform yourself into the Heavenly Dao, and thus resurrect her!

[Your insane actions have drawn the attention of the immortal sects. Thousands upon thousands of cultivators have formed an alliance, vowing to slay this evil path master. You, no longer the passionate cultivator of the past, will kill anyone who stands in your way. No matter the destruction you cause, no matter the cost, you are determined to reclaim her!]

"No cost whatsoever! All acts of violence, as long as they bring results!! For her, I must do it!!!"

"Hate me, curse me, let the world do as it pleases. Everything will eventually perish, until she returns to my arms!"

[Brilliant lives perish under your power; wherever you go, nothing grows; armies crumble before you; countless demons turn to dust under your power; and those who died under your power rise again, becoming pawns at your disposal. You have no attachment to power and strength; having lost even your closest and most important people, what use are power and strength?]

You easily conquered the Central Plains, making it your stronghold, a gathering place of despair, disaster, and misfortune. It is a burial ground for all that is beautiful, a terrifying place comparable to a forbidden zone for life. Your terror instills fear in all beings; your rule is boundless terror. Those who fear you begin to unconsciously band together. Humans and ancient demons have joined forces, attempting to strangle you.

"Hahahaha! A bunch of maggots! You think you can kill me?! How ridiculous!"

"Whether one lives a life of mere survival or faces death with righteous indignation, in the end, it is all in vain."

"Endless army! Come forth!!!"

In an instant, countless beings under your power appeared behind you: the Blood Rainbow Pavilion Master, the Second Elder of Zhengyi Temple, the First Elder of Crimson Sun Mountain, the Master of the Myriad Laws Immortal Sect, the First Elder of the Myriad Laws Immortal Sect, the Master of Wind Feather Palace, the Third Elder of Kunlun Ruins... all those who died at your hands and were tainted by your power, whether righteous or evil, powerful or weak, famous or unknown, all appeared behind you.

As the ruler of the world, you possess the power to plunge it into despair, and all beings within this despair are yours. Those you have defiled, slain, or awakened are now yours.

The enemy's strength has its limits, but your army is limitless!

You are not the embodiment of natural disaster; you are natural disaster itself!

You turned a deaf ear to their pleas. Since Xiao Jinxuan's passing, you have heard no sound and seen no color; all you see is devastation.

Victory came to you without any suspense, but you felt no joy, only sorrow. You prayed to heaven countless times, but received no response, and you gradually lost patience.

As you stride forward as usual, repeating the process of ravaging the world and transforming its land and inhabitants into your own power, you encounter a familiar face: Qiu Yuelian, the Holy Maiden of the Human Emperor's Palace, stands alone before you, intending to persuade you to turn back.

"Bai Yi... I understand the pain of losing someone important, but... what you're doing now is undoubtedly wrong. If you continue to take lives, there will be no turning back."

When a character is in a bad mood and in an abnormal state, they are prone to making irrational decisions.

Qiu Yuelian could see that Bai Yi's character attributes were currently quite poor, especially his extreme emotional values.

[Rage: 99]

[Hatred: 100]

Mood: 3

[Status: Heart as withered as a dead tree.]

Without a doubt, Bai Yi is now essentially a puppet driven solely by anger, hatred, and obsession. Qiu Yuelian has absolutely no idea how to stop him.

It's simply unstoppable!

Words alone could not rouse him from despair. Although she knew it was impossible, she decided to give it a try.

Trying might not work, but not trying will never work!

You tried to persuade Bai Yi, but the power of words was far too shallow. In the end, the two of you failed to understand each other. Bai Yi, who already knew there was no turning back, raised his sword against you. Knowing that everything would eventually end with force, you chose to activate a forbidden technique to fight back.

Despite your recent diligent training and mastery of the clan's strongest forbidden technique, all skills and forbidden arts become utterly laughable in the face of overwhelming power. You watch helplessly as Bai Yi pierces your heart, injecting destructive power into your body, turning you into his servant.

Current status: Unable to operate.

Qiu Yuelian saw herself being manipulated once again, and her heart was filled with resentment.

It wasn't that she was dissatisfied with Bai Yi's strength; it wasn't surprising that she could be manipulated by him. After all, many famous and powerful figures in Kyushu had become puppets manipulated by Bai Yi. Her dissatisfaction stemmed purely from being manipulated twice in a row.

Why was she manipulated by Xuan Yuanmeng last time, and now she's being manipulated by Bai Yi again?

Could it be that I have some kind of karmic entanglement with being manipulated?!

Feeling that she might be being targeted, she began to question the cultivation simulator. In addition to being manipulated twice in a row, she also discovered that she had not been able to draw the fragments of [Bai Yi - Human Emperor] that she wanted recently, but had been drawing fragments of Bai Yi from other simulations. She suspected that there was some behind-the-scenes manipulation.

Perhaps because she spent the most money, the cultivation simulator responded to her—everything simulated in this cultivation simulator is based on reality and is deduced from the personality, thinking and behavior patterns of the world's creatures.

—Also, the reason why the gacha pool often has off-target items is because there are more and more items in the pool. Please keep up the good work, and you will definitely get the right item next time.

Akizuki Ren: "......."

I finally managed to spend some money to play a simulation game during my free time from training, and you made me lose so completely!

Geneva! Refund!

For Qiu Yuelian, what she most wanted to collect was the very first deck called [Bai Yi - Human Emperor]. However, so far, aside from the one she drew and used immediately, she has only drawn it once in all the subsequent draws!

Her request was so simple, and the strength of [Bai Yi - Human Emperor] was far inferior to those that came later, so why couldn't she fulfill it?!

Annoying!

She's like a gambler who's lost everything in a gacha game, desperately trying to vent her frustration by playing a few levels, only to get completely crushed.

Fortunately, she has a very strong will and quickly regained her strength.

A temporary setback is nothing; at least I know how to help Bai Yi avoid the most dangerous outcome.

Qiu Yuelian revealed a confident smile. No matter where you are, there is only one way to avoid being eliminated: to have something special. Unfortunately for her, her special feature is Kado!

Gui Ming was indeed powerful, but she believed that his strength was still inferior to Bai Yi's during the time when the forbidden zone was pacified.

[White Emperor - Pacifying the Forbidden Zone (Part 1)] With this card, no matter who the supreme ruler is, they are not to be feared!

The question is, how exactly do I determine when to use this card?
