Disaster Simulator, global collapse begins.

Chen Jie always felt that this method of advancement by relying on external forces had certain limitations.

The Stigmata gene requires a large number of gene loci, and the fusion anomaly is obviously abnormal. Moreover, its strength and abilities are affected by the fusion anomaly, and it consumes Originium...

It requires a large amount of Originium, which is impossible to mass-produce, since the production of Originium requires a large number of animals and death row inmates.

At Chen Jie's suggestion, SDRRD began to study some commonalities among these three methods.

Loken redeemed himself through meritorious service.

Stigmata, Stigmata Space, related to the soul.

The eerie, the human imagination, and related to the soul.

Originium, the crystallization of spirit, related to the soul.

The way to advance to Rank A is to complete your spirit and soul!

Chapter 173 Spiritual Core

Let's trace back to modern martial arts.

The martial arts traditions of Shenzhou were improved from those of the Collapsed World, and those martial arts traditions were developed from Fu Hua.

She optimized the Taixu Sword Heart in a way that was suitable for ordinary people to practice, and after so many years of differentiation and inheritance, it has developed and been passed down.

Fu Hua's "Tai Xu Sword Heart" is actually a method developed by Dr. MEI in the last century that allows "ordinary people to fight against the Honkai".

"Divine Sound"

Divine Sound is a subconscious hypnosis therapy that stimulates the brain at a subconscious level to help the body adapt to breakdown.

The Divine Sound is a modified or degraded version of the Commandments, originating from Aponia, a psychic fusion warrior.

Therefore, although this kind of Honkai energy martial arts looks very similar to the martial arts in other games or literary works, it is fundamentally different!

All other martial arts are materialistic, refined through one's own blood and qi, or through cultivation in a world with the primordial energy of heaven and earth, thus becoming stronger.

And Honkai energy martial arts...

I practiced cultivation, and then I figured that this kind of cultivation would allow my body to adapt to the breakdown, and it actually did adapt.

It's incredibly green-skinned and idealistic.

This isn't just hypnotizing yourself; it's hypnotizing the world and its rules.

However, looking back at the whole process, from the precepts to modern martial arts, it has become increasingly universal.

The theory is becoming more and more complete and complex, which means it is systematic and repeatable. However, the intuitive and subconscious aspects, which are the factors I'm considering, are decreasing.

This spiritual element is related to the Holy Mark gene and even the Holy Mark space. After all, the Divine Sound and the Holy Mark are both the results of Dr. Mei's research. They are like a huge system with interconnected points.

However, people in the present world have not undergone modification and do not have the Holy Mark gene.

This resulted in the inability to cultivate many advanced martial arts techniques. Chen Jie had reached this conclusion many times before the simulation. Those advanced martial arts techniques would instead cause people to go astray and become mutated due to the corruption and erosion.

Therefore, we can only focus on the profound aspects, those originally incomparably important spiritual elements.

The most basic and fundamental cultivation methods are preserved, and then simulated and disseminated outwards time and time again, perfected through the cultivation of all mankind, like building a tall building step by step.

This new high-rise building is quite different from the original Shenyin high-rise building.

Just like homeless people lacking medical care and wealthy people playing golf, they are all human beings living in the Federation, but many people do not consider them to be the same kind of beings.

Now, the drawbacks of removing the spiritual element have emerged.

D-S was originally just a classification method for Valkyries by Destiny, but Chen Jie borrowed this method to make a simple classification of combat power. After all, the difference between each level of the simulator, which gives the classification of Normal, Extraordinary, Sublime, and Beyond, is too great.

Martial arts that remove the spiritual element cannot advance a person from B-rank to A-rank.

They could either return to their original form and implant a holy mark, or find another way, fuse with something bizarre, or consume large amounts of Originium to replenish the energy consumed during advancement...

Could we create a martial art that can hone one's spirit and will?

This seems to be beyond the scope of his accumulated knowledge.

If only I could get help from Black Tiger Afu (crossed out) the Herrscher of Knowledge.

He had an idea: after this simulation ended, he would go to the Honkai world again.

In the name of Elke.

With so many simulations, we've accumulated a lot of doubts and questions, as well as experimental subjects. It's time to use an extraordinary brain for a large-scale study to answer them!

Wait, an extraordinary level of brain...

Chen Jie discovered the key point: based on the comparison between combat power level and the rank given by the simulator, the extraordinary level was just stuck between A and S.

Extraordinary brain, memory palace...

Through recollection and association, he suddenly wondered if Elke's improved method of the memory palace could temper and elevate a person's spirit.

So he started to do some silly things.

Anyone who makes changes to their own mental state will be treated with utmost respect and caution, even when it is unavoidable.

Because the human spirit and soul are like fragile and beautiful glass sculptures; the slightest bump can lead to either death or madness.

But Chen Jie wasn't afraid!

As long as Jay knows he's in a simulation, he becomes incredibly brave.

Because the simulator had given him warnings, and he had basically confirmed it through numerous simulations—

Injury or death in the simulation will not cause any physical or spiritual harm to the original body.

This is encouraging him to court death.

Imagine materializing various things in a memory palace, then blow it up with a giant Tsar Bomba to see if it can simulate the Big Bang and create a spiritual world-shaking event.

The attempt failed, and Chen Jie remained stagnant for a year.

Every day, he can only sit in a wheelchair and have Ellie push him around a couple of times, drooling over the flowers and plants.

It shouldn't be too rough...

After recovering, Chen Jie became more restrained, and Loken also made new progress in his research.

Core spirit!

Everyone who advances to Rank A has their own spiritual core.

Those who modify the genes of the Holy Mark have a portion of their spirit transferred into the Holy Mark and gained its abilities.

Similarly, those who have been equipped with the Sequence Core undergo a transformation toward becoming Herrschers, their spirits enter the core, and they can also use the core's simplified powers.

The guy who ate Originium had Originium-like stones in his brain, but after Loken's examination, it was found that it was not Oripathy and there were no signs of contagion or spread. However, this guy did indeed master Originium Arts.

The fusion of the bizarre naturally resulted in the spirit entering the bizarre realm, gaining additional bizarre abilities. An experiment was conducted on an A-level powerhouse who had committed a capital crime. After killing the symbiotic bizarre, he also died of mental exhaustion within three days.

Loken's speculation is reasonable.

To advance to Rank A in pure martial arts, one must also construct one's own spiritual core and use this core to gain a special ability.

"Somewhat like... a Golden Core?" Chen Jie tilted his head.

From martial arts training to immortal cultivation, look at the Crimson Kite Immortal, hmm, it seems to make sense.

The path ahead has become clear.

So, how should this martial arts golden core be condensed?

Since I don't have any real-world ideas for now, I'll try it out in the mind palace.

He visualized a golden sphere.

Nothing has changed.

Just as Chen Jie was about to end this attempt, some profound insights suddenly occurred to him.

Perhaps it was because his mental strength was inherently higher than others, and he had trained to the peak of B-level over the years, just one step away from advancing.

This golden elixir shouldn't be so ordinary.

You must fill it with your own experiences and memories, clarify your true self, polish it, and condense your own martial arts will!

Looking at the memory palace that had been reduced to ruins by the Tsar Bomba, Chen Jie stuffed the charred things and the glass-like crystals into his golden core.

It happened naturally, like water flowing into a channel.

Ding!

Ah... this sound was added by the emulator.

Chapter 174 (Chapter 174) - Cardiac - Taking a day off.

Let's summarize the remaining content; this simulation is about to end.

By the way, I'd like to ask the readers who are currently following this story: please vote here in the comments section. What are you most looking forward to seeing in the next installment?

Honkai Impact 2

Originium Disaster Lv2

nuclear war

Other (make it up yourself)

The first three are what I had prepared in the outline. You can make up whatever you want for the rest, it's fine. Anyway, I don't have any drafts, I only know the plot half a day earlier than you.

If it's Honkai Impact or Originium, you'll return to the Honkai Impact and Ark world simulation once or twice to advance the main storyline; the rest are various side quests.

As I said before, feel free to leave a comment if there's any disaster you'd like to see featured. I might just pick one and add it to the end.

Chapter 175 Climbing the Golden Throne

I feel like I'd be doing myself a disservice if I didn't give it a shout.

"You're not a system," Chen Jie retorted.

Is there any difference?

"Some systems can also perform simulation functions, but simulators, as the name suggests, can only simulate related functions and are not as comprehensive and versatile as systems."

It means this simulator is terrible.

"Leaving aside other emulators, you're really weak."

I, Chen Jie, owe all my achievements to my own hard work. I can't even add a single point on a simulator!

You're being so sarcastic... Is it really a good idea to offend your only source of strength in this situation?

"Would you stop helping me just because I made a few complaints?"

……Won't

"So, Miss Simulator who wants to be a system, could you answer my questions like a system would? What special abilities do I have now that I've just entered Rank A and condensed my Martial Golden Core?"

In that case, I need to touch you.

"?"

Whenever I send this "?", it's not that I have a problem, but that I think you have a problem.

simulation

"Alright, let's see what kind of tricks you can pull off."

Not long after he said that, Chen Jie regretted it.

He felt something cold and wet, as if an invisible tongue or tentacle was licking him from head to toe.

"It's so cold, and it's so itchy..."

So I need to touch you to simulate it.

"What the hell? It's 6302 already! Puns are going to get you fined..."

Okay, the capability assessment is complete.

This is a spiritual ability, projecting one's martial will to pull the enemy into the realm between reality and illusion, unleashing a powerful attack.

Although it's called a psychological attack, it can also cause real-world harm.

"Sounds somewhat similar to... the Sword God of the Void?"
