Outside Simulation,
"Don't know why these people want to interfere in my peaceful, secluded life within simulation?" Lin Chen sighed while remembering the results of this simulation.
In this simulation, he got two talents—one improved his talent with sticks, and another shielded his cultivation.
This time, he decided to live a life of seclusion and comprehend as many techniques as possible, so he sacrificed all his System Origin to the Proficiency Panel.
After sacrificing his entire System Origin to the Proficiency Panel, he unlocked a new feature: Complete the Fragments.
Because of this feature, he could even access the complete versions of fragmented techniques and practice them up to the Origin Level.
Later, on the same day, he left Yongcheng City and traveled toward the Linnan Prefecture of the Shu Kingdom, just to find the Ring of Wealth and increase his income source.
After all, having two sources of constant income is better than having one.
After finding the ring, he went to the Tianyu Dynasty, where Mo Tianxuan would appear in the future, and began to live in seclusion.
In the 10th year, after killing Mo Tianxuan, he decided to stay in the Da Ming Dynasty and wait for the Secret Realm of Blood Demon to open. As for killing Gu Changsheng, he didn't bother—there was no benefit at all. Regarding Su Ming, he didn't even know if he would safely reach the Western Wasteland or not, so he gave up on killing him too.
In the 57th year, he entered the Secret Realm of Blood Demon and decided to kill Yu Rong, thinking that if she was the mysterious figure, there were only two ways she would treat him: first, lose to him on purpose, or second, crush him with overwhelming strength. But what he didn't expect was that she actually died—at his hands.
Later, thinking that she might have been the Reincarnation of Blood Demon, he devoured a small part of her memory using the Taotie talent. From it, he clearly saw she wasn't any reincarnation or anything of the sort.
But because it was just a small part of her memory, this speculation of his couldn't be considered true.
Even though he killed her, because the photo stone couldn't capture the image of a soul, he easily escaped Mo Tian Ren's pursuit by changing his appearance and began his seclusion in the peaceful atmosphere of the Linnan Prefecture of the Shu Kingdom.
In the 69th year, he didn't participate in capturing the Nine Netherworld Mysterious Flame, which resulted in it being consumed by Feng Chen.
In the 70th year, he gained a talent through the Combat Ranking System—One Body Two Souls. Because of this, a random soul from the long river of time appeared within his body.
From that moment on, the soul residing within his body constantly began attacking his soul, trying to capture his body. But because of the Nine Netherworld Mysterious Flame's ability to burn souls, the process of that soul capturing his body slowed down, though it still held the upper hand.
For some reason, every time he burned the invading soul using the Nine Netherworld Mysterious Flame, his own soul immediately returned to its original state—and even grew stronger.
Just like this, they fought until the 168th year. During these years, because the simulation was totally dedicated to comprehension, Lin Chen didn't increase his realm much. After breaking through to the Peak of the Golden Elixir realm, he stopped, deciding only to advance further if his lifespan was about to end.
But what he didn't expect was that he would die before his lifespan even ended.
This was just what had happened in this simulation.
Just as Lin Chen was sighing while reminiscing about the content of this simulation, a sound was heard in his mind, and with it, a panel appeared in front of him.
[Ding, reward settlement completed, the host can choose Five of the following rewards.]
[Purple Talent: Prodigy of Stick Dao.]
[Purple Talent: One Body Two Souls.]
[Blue Talent: Shielding Cultivation.]
[Cultivation: Peak of Golden Elixir realm (Supreme Foundation).]
[Experience: Marrow-Cleansing, Combat exp, Muscle memory, Technique proficiency {Great Burning Heaven Technique (Killing Fire), Imperial Scripture of Soul Emperor, many techniques practiced to perfection}, Practicing experience {8th-grade alchemist, Killing Law, Killing Fire (Killing + Flame Law), Law of Sticks, etc.}]
[Resources: 189 million Spirit Stones, System Origin, Ring of Wealth, etc.]
[Detailed memory of everything you saw.]
With these rewards also appeared the descriptions of talents.
[Prodigy of Stick Dao (Purple): A genius of Stick Dao born once in a million years.]
[One Body Two Souls (Purple): A random soul will appear from the long river of time. Defeating it will yield you their signature technique.]
[Shielding Cultivation (Blue): Except for Immortal realm cultivators, or people with high-grade perception techniques or special conditions, no one can see your actual realm unless you allow it.]
Looking at the rewards this time, Lin Chen didn't have to think long. He directly chose the rewards—all talents, experience, and resources. He placed the One Body Two Souls talent into the Talent Pool because he didn't want to share his body with another soul.
Just after choosing the rewards, a Crimson Flame containing an eerie aura appeared in his body, which was soon suppressed quietly.
The flame that had just appeared was called Killing Flame, created by the fusion of Flame Law and Killing Law. As his comprehension of both increased, it would grow stronger.
A new technique also appeared in his mind—Scripture of Soul Dao. Now he understood why he hadn't been able to eliminate the soul residing in his body.
Scripture of Soul Dao allowed the practitioner to slowly increase their soul strength. If anyone tried to destroy their soul, given enough time, they could even recover it to their original state using this technique.
As for why he had chosen the One Body Two Souls talent, it was because, if needed, with the help of the Scripture of Soul Dao, he could directly summon souls from the long river into his body and farm their techniques. With this scripture, the chance of him losing against them was almost zero.
Soon.
"System, is the Nine-Turn Supreme Foundation the Foundation you said is stronger than the Supreme Foundation?" After choosing all the rewards and understanding their features, Lin Chen directly asked the question that had just appeared in his mind.
[No, Host. It is still within the range of the Supreme Foundation. The method of Foundation suggested by the Foundation Guide talent is simply the lowest criteria required to condense the Supreme Foundation.] The system replied.
Looking at the system's reply, Lin Chen fell into deep thought, marveling at the strength of that Foundation.
But soon, he pushed this thought aside. After all, he could simulate endlessly, and everything that was a mystery now would uncover itself as long as he continued to simulate.
Thinking this, he directly ordered the System Panel to open—the one he hadn't looked at in a long time. Just as he commanded, a virtual screen appeared in front of him.
[Data analysis successful.] The system said, and after a moment, a virtual screen appeared in front of him.

Looking at the System Panel and his stats, Lin Chen was satisfied and closed it. After closing, he chose to start another simulation—in which he would create a harem.
Even though he believed in true love, if building a harem became a necessity, he didn't mind creating one.
Thinking of this, he directly started another simulation.
[1 Spirit Stone consumed. The value of remaining currencies: 28.5 Billion Spirit Stones.]
[Ding, Simulation start, talents are being drawn...]
At that moment, when he looked at the talents drawn this time, a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth and he said, "Even the system wants me to create a harem."
———
Do you want those 7 girls to be his wives?
Yes or No, let me know.
