I only want to win over the fairy.

Clearly, this person represents the will of the Xuan Tian Sect Emperor; otherwise, why would that Emperor entrust such a weak disciple with an imperial weapon containing his spiritual power?

"It's alright, 70% it is."

Unlike the other members of the Human Emperor's Palace who changed color, Qiu Yuelian was quite calm at this moment, because she recognized whose spiritual power was in the Tai Xuan Heavenly Furnace.

Chapter 55 It's only right to spend a little money for the sake of your loved one.

Personality, status, and appearance may change, but one's true nature cannot lie.

Previously, Qiu Yuelian analyzed based on personality and status, so some deviations were inevitable. After all, it is quite difficult to find someone in the vast sea of ​​people whose personality and status are known, but whose appearance is unknown.

However, when Bai Yi activated the spiritual power stored within the imperial weapon, everything became clear.

That guy's strength was absolutely insufficient to drive the spiritual power of an Emperor Realm expert, yet he could command it so easily. There's only one answer!

The owner of that spiritual power and the person who controlled it were the same person!

But... even though I've merged with the White Emperor's projection and power, he seems to not recognize me at all, as if I were a complete stranger.

Even if it's only for twelve hours, you should at least leave behind some memories of our past love and affection!

No, there's no need to rush. Now that his identity has been confirmed, the rest will be easy.

First, collect as many fragments of the White Emperor as possible. Once you have them all, everything will be alright.

In high spirits, Qiu Yuelian immediately opened the simulator, intending to start a new round of simulations without stopping, in order to get a higher rating and collect all the fragments of the White Emperor.

However, as soon as she opened...

[Starting a new round of simulation requires a payment of 648 premium spirit stones.]

Pshaw! It's only 648! Go for it!

For my husband, what is such a small amount of money!

Don't even mention 648 top-grade spirit stones, I'd recharge even 6480! Even if it means selling everything I own to kill, rob, or steal from ancient demons, I'll still gather the funds for you!

Without hesitation, she paid 648 top-grade spirit stones.

The process was very simple. A large portion of the spirit stones in her storage ring were immediately depleted, and the cultivation simulator began to operate.

Let's meet again, my dear. This time we'll definitely do better, and we'll wipe out all enemies, even the forbidden zones of life!

The moment she entered the new round of simulation, Jiang Yuehan and Bai Yi were both stunned for a moment.

Should we proceed with a new round of simulations?

Jiang Yuehan frowned slightly as she looked at the notification. She remembered that she had to pay 648 top-grade spirit stones to enter before, but now it was open directly...

Seemingly guessing something, she looked up at Qiu Yuelian and saw that the other was staring blankly at the empty space in front of her.

I never knew it was like that!

A new simulation requires 648 top-grade spirit stones. However, this is not the amount that one person needs to submit. Rather, as long as the person holding the simulator submits one, then everyone else will not need to pay any more!

Just how rich is this woman...?

That's 648 top-grade spirit stones, no small sum. Yet this woman just bought them without hesitation. The sheer aura she displayed in buying spirit stones completely surpassed mine.

Damn it! I wish I were rich too!

Although she was a saintess, most of the spirit stones she possessed were high-grade spirit stones, and the number of top-grade spirit stones was pitifully small, only a little over five hundred, which was simply not enough to justify the high price of six hundred and forty-eight top-grade spirit stones!

Fortunately, it's free to use.

Qiu Yuelian, thank you so much for your efforts, but this time I won't let you have your way. No one can win forever, and no one can lose forever, so this time, I will surpass you and win!

Using the simulation you started for me to defeat you—there's nothing more devastating than that!

While arguing with the people from the Human Emperor's Palace to seize more benefits, Bai Yi saw the simulator prompt that suddenly popped up. He calmly clicked "agree" to enter, temporarily choosing to cultivate at home and leave the game running, before continuing to argue with the other party.

No matter how powerful you are in a game, it's all fake; only real power comes from in-game strength.

Although I don't know why a simulator that used to require payment can now be played for free, I can look into that after the meeting.

........

The Wilderness, the Eight Desolate Mountains.

Surrounded by continuous mountain ranges, this place appears quite desolate. Unlike the lush mountains of the Nine Provinces, the Eight Desolate Mountains exude a sense of desolation from beginning to end, with even a trace of green being quite rare.

In the center of the Eight Desolate Mountains, a towering tree stands alone, without the adornment of green leaves, the company of flowers, or the songs of birds; there is only the withered and cracked giant tree.

Yet, amidst this desolate landscape, a green figure nestled beneath a giant tree, gazing into the distance.

"So, fate is indeed unchangeable..."

The green-clad figure was pale, clutching her chest in pain and coughing incessantly, the coughs indicating her poor health. Scattered around her were spirit stones.

She looked young and not very plump. Her dark green hair fell to the black and yellow ground, contrasting sharply with the girl's pale, almost sickly skin. Her slightly flat body made the white robe covering her look very large.

Compared to her figure, which offered no appeal whatsoever, her bare, curled-up, snow-white feet, exposed outside her robes, were far more likely to pique one's interest.

Her feet were small, smooth, delicate, and translucent. The fine blood vessels under her skin and the pinkish-white crescent moons under her nails were clearly visible. If you gently closed your eyes and gently sucked on them, you could even feel the fragrance of grass and flowers blooming in your heart.

It really didn't work....

At this moment, Yu Gonghua no longer had the strength to speak. Although she was born a Holy Spirit and possessed extremely strong talents and supernatural abilities, she would die very quickly if the world underwent a major change.

Ah, who could have imagined that the Seven Star Mountain Range, once the most abundant in spiritual energy, would now be reduced to a barren wasteland, and that I, a holy spirit born from the phoenix tree, would soon face death.

"Spirit stones...if we had spirit stones..."

Nothing is worse than gaining hope only to be suddenly met with despair.

Not long ago, something called a cultivation simulator appeared on her. At first, she didn't understand what it was, so she kept dying from decay. Until the fourth time, she accidentally awakened the sleeping ancient demons, causing the ancient demons and humans to go to war.

The deaths caused by the war between the two races were enormous. She also absorbed a lot of blood and energy during this war, restoring a large amount of her lost primordial power. However, her good fortune did not last long. The ancient demon race was soon wiped out by the human race. There was even a case where a large group of ancient demons were chased to her place by a human and all of them were killed.

When she saw so many ancient demons die here, she was overjoyed because it meant she could absorb a lot of blood essence and the original power of these races. But before she could be happy for long, this human turned around and uprooted her, splitting her into countless pieces and turning her into furniture, accessories, firewood and so on.

The fifth time, she learned how to play, and so she awakened the ancient demon race once again. This time, it seemed that even the heavens were helping her. A powerful ancient demon race member was resurrected, injured the sect master of the Xuantian Sect, and caused chaos in the Human Emperor's Palace. Even thousands of years later, he led the ancient demon race to occupy more than half of the territory of the Nine Provinces.

She also profited immensely from this, successfully reviving her lost essence. Although she transformed from a phoenix tree into a blood phoenix tree, as long as she could survive, the mutation was within an acceptable range.

However, after the fifth simulation ended, she received two pieces of bad news.

In the fifth simulation, the Holy Clan's leader, Li Yu, who led the ancient demon race in a chaotic massacre, died. From now on, using the simulator will require a fee of 648 top-grade spirit stones.

As an innate holy spirit, she could easily learn a lot of information from heaven and earth. The death of a great emperor of the past was naturally a major event in the world, so she quickly learned of the news. When she learned of Li Yu's death, she even doubted that the future prediction function of this cultivation simulator was fake!

Fortunately, she quickly adjusted her mindset, reminding herself that this was probably just an accident, and even if the device's future-predicting function was inaccurate, the rewards it provided were still real. So, when she decided to try again...

She discovered that she had no spirit stones.

Yes, she didn't have a single spirit stone, but she had benefited from the previous simulations, especially the fifth simulation, which allowed her to obtain a portion of phoenix essence blood. Such a huge benefit forced her to grit her teeth and refine her spiritual power into top-grade spirit stones in order to start a new round of simulations.

As a result... after she had condensed more than two hundred top-grade spirit stones, her power was exhausted.

He was in a state where he couldn't leave this place for long. The only person who could break the deadlock, the Holy Clan's leader Li Yu, was dead. The only remaining hope was this cultivation simulator, but it required spirit stones to activate, and he didn't have any. He was completely trapped in a vicious cycle.

Am I destined to perish here...?

As she was thinking this, a voice slowly reached her ears.

[Do you want to start a new round of simulation?]

Chapter 56 It's you again!

Isn't it required to pay a fee?

How come it can be turned on again all of a sudden?

Yu Gonghua fell into deep thought. She clearly couldn't understand what had happened to make the simulator, which originally required 648 top-grade spirit stones to be activated again, suddenly usable on its own.

I didn't pay any money, but I can still use it.

The only explanation she could think of was that the future in the fifth simulation went wrong, and this was compensation given to her!

Because she had been living alone in this place for many years and even leaving was difficult, she never considered the possibility that others might have the same item as her, or that someone else had opened it.

In her view, such heaven-defying artifacts that could grant her the power of the phoenix's origin and other precious items were born from the very creation of heaven and earth, a secret of the Great Dao, and a divine object that only immortals who had transcended everything could possess. Therefore, there could not possibly be multiple such things.

New opportunities have emerged, so how can I stand still!

Open!

...

After the death of the Heavenly Demon Emperor Li Yu, the ancient demon race, believing this world was unsuitable for their emergence, decided to remain sealed away until the path to becoming an emperor opened, at which point they would re-emerge and seize the right to become emperor in this great era.

Seeing these ancient demons about to continue their slumber, your life drawing to a close, you are filled with anxiety, but you are powerless to help. Even the essence of the phoenix and the leaves of the Tree of Life can only provide temporary relief; you can only watch helplessly as your life gradually fades away.

You know that what you need right now is not anything else, but a place suitable for you to live. However, because your true self is deeply rooted here, you cannot easily leave.

After struggling for several days, you finally gave up your insistence and decided to study the Phoenix's essence blood, attempting to discover the Phoenix's method of rebirth so that you could shed your decaying old body and grow anew as a seedling.

[One month after the Heavenly Demon Emperor's death, your research made no progress, but your will to live kept you from giving up, and you continued to study the method of Nirvana and rebirth.]

[In the second month after the death of the Heavenly Demon Emperor, a number of immortal sects, led by the Human Emperor's Palace, joined forces to invade the Wilderness Domain, slaughtering many ancient demon races that were in slumber. This large-scale operation awakened many ancient demon races, who fought back desperately, but were caught off guard by the well-prepared humans. As a result, many ancient demon races were enslaved by humans, or even wiped out.]

Great!

Yay! Yay!

Fight! Fight! I love watching you fight, I want to see you fight until blood flows like a river!

Yu Gonghua was overjoyed at this moment. Her excitement was even greater than that of the ancient demon race invading the Nine Provinces. Because the casualties caused by the ancient demon race in the Nine Provinces required her to expend a lot of power to create clones to collect the blood and essence of the dead. However, she did not have such concerns about the deaths in the Wilderness Domain.

As long as the person died in the place where his roots are located, he can send his consciousness there at any time to collect their life essence.

To be honest, she preferred the blood and essence of the ancient demon race to that of the human race, since the ancient demon race was inherently stronger than the human race, with both their blood and essence being much more abundant.

An ancient demon cub in its growth stage can easily take care of hundreds of growing human cubs; this is the benefit of the demon race's strong physique.

Of course, it is normal for the demon race to be stronger than the human race in terms of individual strength, because the strength of the human race does not lie in the strength of their physical body, but in their ability to use various tools and cooperate with each other.

The problem is that while humans are powerful when they cooperate and use various tools, the amount of life force they leave behind after death is pitifully small compared to that of the ancient demon race. Therefore, she doesn't really like absorbing the life force of humans; instead, she prefers the abundant life force of the ancient demon race.
