I only want to win over the fairy.

[You learned about Zi's situation from Xuan Yuanmeng, which left you silent. In fact, you had already noticed that Zi's body was somewhat abnormal. After all, her body was completely unable to match the powerful force within her; it could even be described as fragile.]

[Not wanting Zi to die, you asked Xuan Yuanmeng if there was a solution. However, she was very displeased by your inability to find her, your long-standing neglect of her, your disregard for the clues she left behind, and your current greater concern for a doll. She said haughtily, "I already said, if you encounter something like this, I won't help you. You can just fend for yourself with your doll loli mother. Besides, I am the Heavenly Dao, adhering to the principle of neutrality, and I cannot help you."]

Music, the classics, maintain a neutral principle.

As far as Bai Yi knows, none of those who claim to maintain a neutral principle have ever actually adhered to a neutral principle.

The same goes for Xuanyuan Meng. She's taken sides so many times before, and now she claims to be maintaining neutrality. Isn't that just like someone who's already been in there, discussing deals worth hundreds of millions, and then claiming to be a pure young girl and telling you to use a condom?

Fortunately, she didn't hold out for long. Knowing your temperament, she answered you after only a moment. She didn't want to cause a rift between you because of this: "Sigh, I would like to help you, but my power is really limited right now. Besides, even if I were the Heavenly Dao, I might not be able to help you. She doesn't even have a body or self-awareness. The purpose of her birth was to self-destruct. How could she possibly live a life like that?"

[Zi is merely an energy entity formed from the mixture of various energies, acting as a wedge to trigger divine punishment, like a bomb with a pre-set time. Even if it isn't detonated by someone, it will detonate on its own. For such an existence, even you wouldn't know how to save it in the short term.]

Time bombs are easy to deal with; you just need to stop them. But a bomb that can trigger divine punishment is not something that can be stopped easily, especially since Zi herself is an unstable energy body.

No wonder when I was studying Zi in the simulation, I was always assimilated and almost returned to the world. It turns out that Zi was not a normal being. If I wanted to become like her, wouldn't that be just wishing to die sooner and return to the world?

Bai Yi chuckled to himself, realizing that he had been researching a bomb all along and even trying to turn himself into one.

It's incredibly lucky that he survived so many experiments.

So, how can we save this girl?

I can't think of a good solution, but I'm sure my emulator self will have one, so I'm counting on you, my other self!

The next day, Zi diligently recorded every transaction in the account, as usual. You watched the girl's fair, milky-smelling hands holding the purple pen, carefully writing down the bills. While admiring her work, you also pondered whether to tell her the truth. Ultimately, you chose to keep it a secret.

As time went on, you noticed that Zi was becoming increasingly lively. Today, you saw that Zi had gotten up early to do pull-ups and stretching exercises. At breakfast, a glass of milk had quietly appeared next to both of them. Quite puzzled, you asked her about it, and she simply said, "Drinking more milk helps with growth."

You teased her, saying that no matter how much milk she drinks, she'll still be flat-chested. Although she remained calm, she secretly kicked your shin twice under the table, calling you a disobedient and naughty child. You grabbed her foot, expecting another attack, but instead, you weren't met with a second assault. Zi didn't pull her foot back; instead, she let you hold it and began lecturing you: "You can't touch dirty things with your hands while eating, otherwise bad things will stick to the food, and if you eat them, it will cause health problems."

[You said you didn't care, but when you let go of Zi's foot and tried to continue eating as if nothing had happened, she grabbed your wrist: "Don't always be so willful like a child. Put your hand down, I'll feed you."]

You gladly accepted Zi's feeding.

Master, I am doing something incredibly greedy, but please don't stop me!

At this moment, Bai Yi really wanted to recite a poem: "There's only one mother in the world who is good~, and a child with a cute mother is even more precious."

How could such a treasure, which even the world's most precious gems cannot compare to, be so easily lost!

No matter the cost, no matter what sacrifices I have to make, I will save Zi's life!

The problem is how to do it. Zi is just an energy body. Without the protection of a carrier, it will dissipate sooner or later. But the question is, what in the world can contain such a special and powerful existence as Zi that can trigger divine punishment?

Perhaps Xuanyuan Meng's physical body could do it, since the other party was a reincarnation of the Heavenly Dao, sharing the same origin as Zi, and could potentially bear it. However, doing so would undoubtedly be a plot to kill Xuanyuan Meng.

Bai Yi has never been willing to choose a single-choice question where you have to give up something else.

When faced with such choices, he would choose as many as possible, wanting them all, or choosing himself or the enemy; he would never choose to sacrifice those around him to save someone important.

To ensure Zi's survival, you secretly restarted your previous research behind her back. However, to prevent her from finding out, you replaced Zi's position with Xuan Yuanmeng. With the help of Xuan Yuanmeng, who had once served as the Heavenly Dao, you quickly discovered a feasible path.

There is only one way to save Zi: sacrifice Bai Yi to create a unique body for her that can stabilize the various energies within her.

"Compared to me, who only possesses the power of the Heavenly Dao, your power is far more suitable for Zi," Xuan Yuanmeng said earnestly. "Your body contains a portion of the Heavenly Dao's power, likely a reward or achievement you received during your second simulation of embodying the Heavenly Dao. In addition, you possess the power of reincarnation and a small amount of the power of all things in the universe. With all these powers gathered, you are the best material to bear Zi's essence. However, even if you choose to sacrifice yourself, you will only be extending her life by a few years with your own life, which is not worthwhile."

"Although what I'm saying might be a bit harsh, but..." Xuan Yuanmeng, having analyzed these conclusions for you, advised, "Instead of trying to prolong her life, why don't you kill her, seal her consciousness within the White Emperor Sword, and let her body completely self-destruct? That way, once my plan is complete and I wield the power of the Heavenly Dao in human form, I can use her consciousness as a foundation to create a suitable body and resurrect her."

[Two choices, the latter is clearly better, but you feel neither is the best option. You decide—]

[① For the sake of my loved ones, I am willing to give my life.]

[②, Our current separation is only for our future reunion; one day, we will meet again.]

[③ Life is not something to be wasted. Face challenges positively, believe in your own ability to succeed, and good fortune will surely come.]

[④, Immersive free simulation.]

Choose three!

Is this still a choice?

The first two options are merely temporary expedients. In reality, to be on the safe side, Bai Yi might prefer these two options. However, this is a cultivation simulator, only a simulation, so...

Take a gamble and you might win a bicycle or a motorcycle; if you win, you'll be a young model at a nightclub!

If he loses... he'll just recharge another 648. As for running out of money, he doesn't think it's a big deal. He can just ask his master for a loan. If his master doesn't have any, he'll ask Elder Qin Xin. If Qin Xin doesn't have any either, then he'll have to rob rich women.

Anyway, he always needs to find a place to make some money, and I believe that with the few imperial weapons he possesses, he can definitely pry open some people's wallets.

You rejected Xuan Yuanmeng's proposal. You believed that the outcome was uncertain until the very last moment, and that leaving too early was often just a cover for one's inability to continue. Therefore, you chose to forge a new path.

"Since my body can serve as the material to support Zi, then that body should also possess the same foundation, requiring only minor modifications." You decide to use the power of the White Emperor's corpse.

Although you felt somewhat guilty towards Elder Qin Xin, you still gritted your teeth and asked her for it. Qin Xin had no complaints about your plan to use the White Emperor's corpse to save other women; on the contrary, she generously handed over the White Emperor's corpse to you, along with all her treasures.

"The reason I spent so much time this time, besides retrieving your imperial corpse, was that I also traveled to many places to find all the treasures I secretly buried in various locations. This contains all the treasures I've collected over the past thousand years. Originally, I planned to use them as your dowry when we married, but I've decided against it. Consider it your apprenticeship gift." Qin Xin handed you a large box full of storage rings, each clearly labeled with the type of item inside.

Qin Xin's treasures were incredibly luxurious: Emperor Zhaoyu Fuhua, Five-Colored Divine Soil, Nuwa Stone, Black Gold Sandalwood, Heavenly Silkworm Silk, and so on. Refining materials, rare and precious herbs, and elixirs were almost all included. In addition, there were mountains of top-grade spirit stones, interspersed with a few small pieces of immortal stones. This would blind you with greed.

Wow! The ultimate rich woman! Take care of me!

Bai Yi knew that Qin Xin was very rich. After all, as a demonic witch, Qin Xin always took whatever she wanted. If she said she would take you today, she would never take you tomorrow. With this kind of cycle, how could she be poor?

Despite being mentally prepared, he couldn't help but feel envious when he saw the wealth displayed on the simulator. After all, there was just so much of it that he wanted to rob it all!

Why not just give in to the Grand Elder and live off his wife from now on?

No! How could I have such lazy thoughts! How can a man live a life of mediocrity and remain subservient to others?!

I want to work hard with my own hands to earn a living!

[Having accepted Qin Xin's gift, you smiled and said that in your heart, you already regarded her as your master. Upon hearing this, Qin Xin immediately blushed, and her aura became erratic. She felt that compared to her, this enchantress, you were the real demon who enjoyed seducing people everywhere.]

[Due to your current urgent situation, you didn't spend much time with Qin Xin. Instead, you and Xuan Yuanmeng, along with the White Emperor's corpse and a large amount of materials, embarked on new research.]

[Zi has naturally noticed your changes. She tries to stay by your side every minute, whether at your home, on Tianxuan Peak, or elsewhere. She tries to protect you, but you always manage to slip away from her sight. The girl is confused by your growing distance, but she doesn't show it.]

Despite having more resources, your progress remains stagnant. While the White Emperor's corpse is suitable, it is already inanimate and has condensed a unique Dao. Allowing Zi to enter such a body would only result in Zi being absorbed by it. You realize that ultimately you may still need to use yourself.

For five whole months, you made no progress. While you were frustrated by the lack of progress in your research, you also keenly noticed that Zi's strength was starting to wane. At the same time, the food she cooked was either too salty or too bland. You specifically tested her and found that her body was showing signs of collapse. Her vision, hearing, taste, touch, and smell were all affected to varying degrees. It seemed that her time was running out.

[When it rains, it pours. Just when you've made no progress for months, an uninvited guest arrives, claiming to be the master of Guimingtian, hoping to have a detailed discussion with you. You have no interest in him at all, but you know that even the controller of a forbidden zone of life is not someone you can easily mess with.]

Before the meeting, you asked Xuan Yuanmeng why the Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone could leave the Forbidden Zone of Life. Xuan Yuanmeng didn't know how to answer this, and could only speculate that Zi's body had a problem, which caused the rules of heaven and earth to be disrupted to a certain extent. After all, Zi herself was someone who disrupted the rules of heaven and earth at the moment of her death, thus causing the divine punishment of heaven to descend.

Contrary to your impression, Gui Ming is a rather refined and approachable person. During this visit, he even brought a gift for you and humbly introduced himself: "Greetings, Your Excellency. My name is Gui Ming, the ruler of Gui Ming Heaven, and also the current patriarch of the Lamenting Tears Clan."

What is that?

Tears?

What ultimate rebirth?! Weren't you all wiped out, teardrop clan?! What, are you in such a hurry to jump out of the graveyard because you're about to win the revival match?!

Bai Yi was deeply impressed by this race, which was once the ultimate race that dominated the entire world. Its strength was even greater than that of the once-powerful Thunder Spirit race.

However, he really didn't have any impression of this Gui Ming.

At first, the Supreme One was cutting down enemies too fast and too many at once, so he didn't pay much attention. After all, as the battle progressed, all he could think about was "kill, kill, kill" and how long it would take to kill each enemy. How could he possibly remember the enemy's features?

[Gui Ming is trying to make a deal with you. He offers to protect you in the name of Gui Ming Heaven and meet all your reasonable needs. Even if you encounter other supreme beings when you become an emperor in the future, he will still intervene to protect your growth. The price is simple: you only need to kill Zi, a part of the Heavenly Dao that possesses self-awareness.]

[When Xuanyuan Meng was reincarnated, she perfectly concealed herself, so even a supreme being could not discover her true form, because she was now just an ordinary human. Zi, on the other hand, was different; she possessed the blessings of the Heavenly Dao and many powers that only the Heavenly Dao could have, naturally making her a thorn in Guiming's side.]

"Lord Bai Yi, there is an old saying in Kyushu: 'Wei Junjie is a man of great ambition.' I believe the benefits I offer are enough to sway you. Besides, even if it were just an avatar of mine, you might not be able to stop me now, let alone my true self."

Gui Ming calmly recounted the current situation to you: "Your master has reached the critical point of breakthrough. If she succeeds, a new Great Emperor will be born in this world, and the Great Emperor represents the highest power and authority in this world. However, if your master breaks through to the Emperor Realm and finds that there is a Heavenly Dao with its own consciousness suppressing her, no one would want such a thing to exist."

"You probably don't want your master to live the rest of his life under the suppression of the Heavenly Dao, unable to even do anything freely, right?"

Faced with the combined pressure and persuasion of the Supreme Lord Guiming, what will you choose?

[① I have done my best, but some things are ultimately beyond our control. Letting go is better for everyone.]

[②, Half a lifetime adrift in the white sky, only regretting not having met a wise ruler.]

【③, damn it! I can't take it anymore, I'll punch Guiming to pieces! Those nascent beings who should have been extinct long ago, go back to the graveyard! Don't ever ask me to do anything again!】

Chapter 138 What Kind of Youth Would They Be If They Weren't Impetuous? (6000 words)

Damn it, you swaggered into my Tianxuan Peak and asked me for people, and you were so self-righteous. Do you think Tianxuan Peak is your home? You can come and go as you please. You really look down on people!

And what about the Heavenly Dao's restrictions? What about the Heavenly Dao's prohibitions? Help! Didn't Xuanyuan Meng prepare restrictions for the forbidden zones of life before her reincarnation to prevent the emergence of supreme beings from those zones? How come they seem completely useless!

The other party could come and go as they pleased, and even swaggered to Tianxuan Peak to threaten me and demand my people back, completely disregarding the Heavenly Dao Restriction. This so-called Heavenly Dao Restriction was just like the female protagonist in the Thunderfire Sword anime, unable to hold point B no matter what!

This is no ordinary supreme being; it is a super supreme being who has slapped the face of the Heavenly Dao in the face. We must strike hard!

Choose three!

Unable to tolerate Guiming's arrogance, you immediately decided to fight back, ready to fight to the death. Not only was it impossible for you to hand over Zi, but Guiming's use of the rank of colonel alone made it impossible for you to trust him. You attempted to assemble the power of the Great Emperor using Link 5, but were immediately suppressed by Guiming.

[Qin Xin, who sensed the aura of an unfamiliar supreme being, attempted to rescue you but was easily suppressed. Xiao Jinxuan, who had just emerged from seclusion, was also subdued by Gui Ming in less than three rounds. Zi, who arrived shortly after, was also easily captured by Gui Ming. Thus, the fighting force of Tianxuan Peak was completely dismantled.]

[Gui Ming, having already captured Zi, did not kill her. Instead, he looked at you, who were struggling desperately, and once again chose to hand the choice over to you. "A moment of impulsiveness will only destroy everyone around you. This world is not one where you can accomplish anything with just a surge of passion. You also need sufficient power. The strong can control the weak at will. This is the eternal law of the world."]

[Gui Ming returned Zi to you and released you from your oppression. He opened his arms and declared, "Feel honored, human. This is the mercy I bestow upon you, the power granted to you by the gods. Since my birth, only you and one other person have received such mercy from me. If you had appeared in my era, then with the mercy and power I granted you, you would have been second only to me. Although it is no longer my era, I can still place you at the top of the world."]

"Hehehe, how interesting. Out of kindness, I can give you three more days to choose. I hope you will carefully consider my proposal."

It seems the game has truly come to an end.

With the current strength of Tianxuan Peak, it is simply not enough to contend with this Guiming Supreme. Even if Bai Yi has five materials of unknown significance to perform Link Summoning, he can only contend with him for a short time. When the time comes, he will still die. At the same time, it may also affect his master Xiao Jinxuan, his master Qin Xin, Su Qingyu and Xuanyuan Meng.

Rather than fighting to the death, it would be better to sacrifice Zi, seal her consciousness in the White Emperor Sword, and use her body to self-destruct, taking Guiming Supreme and the forbidden zone of life Guiming Heaven with her to heaven.

Sacrificing Zi in exchange for the end of a restricted area and countless development times is a very worthwhile deal.

Outside the window, the sky had already darkened, and the faint moonlight shone through the window, spilling into the room and onto a pure white epiphyllum flower placed on the table inside.

Looking at the epiphyllum flower that survives by relying on spiritual power and the faint, soft moonlight, Bai Yi subconsciously looked at Zi lying on the bed, unsure whether she was asleep or awake.

You're all the same.

Flawless, delicate, and fleeting.

To save the doll girl from the brink of destruction, in addition to defeating the terrifying demon king, it is also necessary to create a suitable body for her and provide the right "energy" to sustain her life. This is incredibly difficult.

He continued looking at the simulation page.

[That day, you fell into deep thought. Knowing your inner pain, Xuan Yuanmeng approached you, offering to return to the Heavenly Dao's original form ahead of time. She suggested this would cause internal conflict within the Heavenly Dao, plunging the world into chaos for hundreds or even thousands of years, and her consciousness would vanish. However, she believed her consciousness could influence the Heavenly Dao, causing it to directly target Guiming and unleash divine punishment. You refused.]
