Chapter 51: Chapter 51 Choice of Rewards
Even though Su Xing's talent could now be considered extraordinary, maintaining one minor realm breakthrough per year was very difficult, and only with the aid of elixirs could he achieve a breakthrough.
After all, each simulation only gave him fifteen years of cultivation time, making every year of cultivation extremely precious.
It was for this reason that after Su Xing consumed a large amount of elixirs to improve his cultivation level, it was inevitable that elixir poisoning would form within his body.
[In the tenth year, your Qi Refining Cultivation has advanced to the third level of the Golden Core Realm. This past year, you have used Spiritual Energy daily to remove the elixir poison from your body, significantly reducing the elixir poison within.]
[In the eleventh year, you have maintained a daily intake of an Organ Refining Pill to enhance your Body Refinement Cultivation Level, but due to the excessive amount of elixir poison in your body, your cultivation level has not broken through.]
[In the twelfth year, through your relentless effort, your cultivation level has advanced to the eighth level of the Organ Refining Realm.]
[In the fourteenth year, your cultivation level has broken through to the ninth level of the Organ Refining Realm!]
[One day, Shadow Protector approached you, and it had been several years since you last saw Shadow Protector. You felt his aura was much more formidable than before, but his emotions became more unstable, and occasionally, a bloodthirsty crimson gleam flashed in his eyes.]
[He told you that the real world is on the brink of doom, and you are the elder he holds in the highest regard. He produced a corpse of a Demonic Beast, which appeared to be a high-level beast.]
[His emotions somewhat out of control, he informed you that everything was a deception. The members of the Coexistence Faction had been largely wiped out, the Zealot Faction had launched attacks on the other two factions, and the main race was to descend within a month. Now, the only way for you to survive was to become a part of the dominant race.]
[Shadow Protector was willing to personally transform you. He said he would take you to the world of the dominant race and start a new life.]
[Faced with Shadow Protector's request, you hesitated but ultimately refused him, indicating that you did not wish to become a half-human, half-beast monster.]
[After hearing your refusal, Shadow Protector fell silent for a long time and did not say much. It seemed he had anticipated your response. He expressed respect for your destiny and acknowledged your contributions over the years, stating he could try to grant you one request.]
[For you, the purpose of this simulation had already been fulfilled, and you could not think of any request to make on the spot. But then an idea struck you; you expressed your desire for the Complete Edition of Changchun Technique, a Cultivation Technique from Protector Zong.]
[Shadow Protector was taken aback for a moment but shook his head, revealing that Protector Zong had perished in a battle a few days ago, and nobody knew the whereabouts of his belongings. Thus, he could not fulfill your request.]
[Unable to obtain the Changchun Technique, you made a casual request. Having known Shadow Protector for over a decade, you were still unaware of his true appearance under that mask. So, you asked to see Shadow Protector's true face.]
[After hearing your request, Shadow Protector was stunned. After hesitating for a while, he finally took off his mask.]
[When Shadow Protector's mask was removed, you were taken aback; beneath the mask was an astonishingly beautiful woman, with graceful hair and skin as pale as snow, resembling a woman who had stepped out of a painting.]
[Shadow Protector no longer disguised her voice. She told you to take care of yourself and indicated that if you changed your mind, you were welcome to find her anytime.]
[Shadow Protector eventually left, and you were unsure where she might go. Perhaps she too had a story once that led her to betray the Human Race and join the Descending Sect.]
[New Era 2037, September 23rd. This day was supposed to be the Mid-Autumn Festival, yet the entire Human Race was engulfed in tremendous panic.]
[A behemoth, large enough to blot out the sun and sky, appeared. It devoured the entire Great Xia Country in one bite.]
[You died, aged 37!]
[Your talent, Unwilling to Close Eyes in Death, activated…]
[Ding, this simulation has ended!]
After the simulation ended, Su Xing came back to his senses.
Overall, the information contained in this simulation is overwhelming, and the rewards received are indeed too substantial.
"Shadow Protector, to think it's a woman..."
Su Xing was somewhat surprised, clearly not having expected this twist.
Based on the results of this simulation, it seems the entire Human Race has been wiped out, and the endings of the three factions within the Descending Sect also appear to differ.
The followers of the Coexistence Faction were almost completely annihilated by the Zealot Faction, and the fate of the remaining Zealot followers is unknown.
Only the Natural Faction seemed to have escaped this catastrophe, transforming themselves into the Foreign Race, apparently able to seek refuge in the world where the Foreign Race resides.
Su Xing shook his head; the outcomes of these three factions were not what he wanted. To become a Foreign Race, would one still be truly oneself in the end?
So clearly, joining the Descending Sect would not end well in any case.
The most crucial point that puzzled Su Xing was why his age in this simulation turned out to be thirty-seven years old.
"In this simulation, the apocalypse came just fourteen years later. Is it because today is January 7, 2024? It shouldn't be, otherwise I should still be thirty-eight years old..."
"Perhaps, it's because I joined the Descending Sect and did quite a bit for them that the time of the Foreign Race's successful invasion of the real world was advanced by a few months..."
After joining the Great Xia Military, Su Xing had previously delayed the arrival of the Foreign Race by a month.
"By that logic...joining the Descending Sect means I might only have fourteen years left to cultivate..."
Su Xing sighed softly; there was no helping it.
After all, the simulator provided so much through the Descending Sect...
Elixirs abundant enough to surfeit Su Xing, fully capable of accelerating his Cultivation Level advancement by several folds.
"Before finding a better cultivation path, if I want to increase my cultivation, I still need to fleece the Descending Sect!"
Su Xing turned his attention to the rewards from this simulation.
[Innate Divine Strength]: Blue talent, priced at 100,000 energy points.
[Organ Refining Realm, Ninth Layer]: Body Refinement Cultivation Level, with all internal pill toxin side effects removed, priced at 1 million energy points.
[Fourteen Years of Alchemy Experience]: Alchemy insights, priced at 140,000 energy points.
[Golden Core Stage, Fourth Layer]: Qi Refining Cultivation of the fourth layer of the Golden Core Stage, and due to your constant consumption of Essence-Nourishing Pills, the Spirit Pill in your Dantian has become more solid, nearing the quality of a top-grade Spirit Pill. Priced at 300,000 energy.
[Organ Refining Pill, 1000 Pills]: Priced at 10 million energy points.
The blue talent, Innate Divine Strength, is a must-choose reward for Su Xing, as it is the advanced version of the great strength he already possesses and can greatly enhance his Body Cultivation talent.
And for the remaining choices, Su Xing currently can only afford the Body Refinement Cultivation Level, Alchemy insights, and Qi Refining Cultivation Level.
Without much hesitation, Su Xing quickly made his choice.
"I choose the blue talent Innate Divine Strength and the Organ Refining Realm, Ninth Layer cultivation level!"
