One Trait Draw Per Year Even Simulations Count

[The investigation of the Blood Moon organization continues.]

[You’ve just scaled back resources and manpower for this, avoiding wasting too much on it.]

[Year seventy, age eighty-nine.]

[Currently extracting trait tags…]

[Extraction successful!]

[「Invulnerable Kidneys」 (White Common): Your IQ drops by one-third. Your kidneys will never develop stones.]

[Adjust trait tags?]

[Yes / No]

[You replaced 「Bad News Spreads in Martial Circles」 with 「Luckier with Age」.]

[You replaced 「Trait Slingshot」 with 「Ageless Male God」.][You replaced 「Civil War God」 with 「Husband Material Vibe」.]

[This year is a very important one.]

[The woman from the Real Realm, searching for monkeys, will appear in the human world.]

[You arrived at the Northern Frontier, quietly cultivating in a vast grassland, waiting for her to appear.]

[”The Dragon-Man tribe still hasn’t come.”]

[You couldn’t help but sigh in emotion.]

[By this time in the last simulation, the Dragon-Man tribe had already conquered the Starry Domains and was enslaving the Shen Family, preparing for a full-scale invasion of the human world.]

[”And furthermore, until now, 「The Aura of Ten Thousand Races」 hasn’t detected any trace of the Dragon-Man tribe’s presence…”]

[From what you know about the Dragon-Man tribe, if they were still planning to attack the human world, they would definitely need to make thorough preliminary preparations.]

[They should still be sending people in to infiltrate.]

[So why, after you destroyed those strongholds, did it seem like they stopped infiltrating altogether?]

[”I feel like there’s something I’ve been overlooking…”]

[Just then, the vision around you turned yellow.]

[You turned around. That woman, whose looks could rival Li Lingyue’s, had arrived.]

[She was still standing gracefully, her astonishingly thick hair cascading like a black waterfall down to her heels, a purple dress outlining her slender willow-like waist.]

[”This… handsome gentleman, have you seen a monkey?”]

[You turned around calmly, holding the Demon Refining Pot in one hand and the Nine Provinces Cauldron in the other.]

[You released the Four-Eyed Spiritual Monkey from the Demon Refining Pot, its body covered in many restrictions.]

[The Fiery-Eyed Golden Monkey came out of the Cauldron Realm. He looked like he’d been having a good time inside with the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, Nine Crows, and Da Chun.]

[In this simulation, there was no great battle with the Demon Tribe, so the Fiery-Eyed Golden Monkey had stayed by the side of Zhuge Zhujin, the Pavilion Master of the Divine Arms Pavilion.]

[You had gone to visit him not long ago and brought him along.]

[”You damned humans!! Let me go!! I’ll destroy every last one of you!!”]

[The Four-Eyed Spiritual Monkey was still steaming with rage.]

[Seeing the woman, the Fiery-Eyed Golden Monkey’s face twisted into a strange expression.]

[”Miss, haven’t I seen you before? I feel a strange sense of familiarity.”]

[The woman smiled.]

[”You two mischievous monkeys, you actually reincarnated into the Void Realm, making me search high and low. Do you have any idea how much immortal source I lost just to project a sliver of myself here?”]

[Upon hearing the woman’s voice, the Four-Eyed Spiritual Monkey, who had been squawking incessantly, instantly quieted down. The Fiery-Eyed Golden Monkey also had a look of sudden realization on his face.]

[With a wave of the woman’s hand, the two monkeys’ bodies began to shrink, turning into tiny pet monkeys.]

[One clung to the woman’s thigh, and the other jumped onto her shoulder.]

[”Sir, how is it that you seem to know what I’ve come for? You don’t appear to be the Guardian of this plane.”]

[You revealed a mysterious smile and said calmly.]

[”I have a slight understanding of the divination arts. I recognized that these two monkeys are not from my plane. I knew that someone important would eventually come looking for them, so I kept them close, hoping to witness the elegance of that important person.”]

[The woman smiled sweetly.]

[”Alright. Now that you’ve seen me, I’ll take my leave.”]

[”Wait!”]

[”Is there something else, sir?”]

[”You are from the Real Realm, aren’t you?”]

[”That’s correct, but I am merely a projection, not a physical entity. Even a projection cannot stay here long; I must go.”]

[You spoke very sincerely.]

[”The heavens and earth are vast; the sun and moon rise and fall. We who live and die within the planes of the Void Realm, while seeming to live brilliant lives, are in truth like frogs at the bottom of a well, looking at the moon. We have little understanding of the true great world. Could you, for the sake of me having found these two monkeys for you and saved you the trouble of searching far and wide, answer a few questions to clear up my doubts?”]

[Because of 「Ageless Male God」, you maintained a youthful appearance, with an impeccable model-like face.]

[Coupled with the unique allure to the opposite sex radiating from 「Husband Material Vibe」, this beautiful woman from the Real Realm did not refuse your request.]

[”Alright. But you can only ask three questions. Think carefully before you ask, okay?”]

[A teasing smile lingered on her face. It seemed amusing to her to present you with a dilemma requiring a choice.]

[Your mind worked incredibly fast, and you had your questions ready on the spot.]

[”Can I ask four?”]

[”Hehe, and here you are, bargaining.”]

[”One monkey counts as two questions, that’s reasonable, right?”]

[”Fine, fine. Ask your four questions then.”]

[”My first question is, many planes in the Void Realm are fighting World Wars. If they win, can they really bypass the Real Realm and become immortals directly from the Void Realm? And how does one become an immortal?”]

[The woman shook her head in amusement.]

[”This is a method the people of the Void Realm devised themselves. How can I, being in the Real Realm, tell you the correct answer? Besides, I don’t know much about your World Wars, nor do I have any way to find out. It’s only by chance this time, entering the Void Realm, that I’ve learned a little. As for how to become an immortal? Never mind that I am also seeking the path to immortality, even if I knew, it would be a method for the Real Realm, impossible to achieve in the Void Realm.”]

[You nodded.]

[Although you didn’t learn much, you did understand that even in the seemingly higher-level Real Realm, true ’immortals’ are not exactly everywhere.]

[”Second question. Is this horse a creature from the Real Realm?”]

[You released Black Wind.]

[Black Wind’s level of evolution was now very high. From its initial weak and pitiable appearance, it had transformed into a majestic and fierce divine beast.]

[”Oh, it’s a Dragon-Scale Horse.”]

[Unexpectedly, Black Wind’s race was actually called that.]

[”He is indeed a creature of the Real Realm. Normally, he shouldn’t be here. He must have experienced some special change, just like my two monkeys here. I think he must have been born in the Void Realm; otherwise, with his current cultivation level, it would be impossible for him to traverse the Void and Real Realms. Especially going from the Real Realm to the Void Realm, it’s countless times more difficult than the reverse.”]

[So Black Wind was indeed a creature of the Real Realm!]

[You had once thought Black Wind came from the Dragon-Man Realm and was the natural enemy race of the Dragon-Man tribe there.]

[Now it seemed that wasn’t the case.]

[This meant that Black Wind’s restraint of the Dragon-Man tribe wasn’t specific to them, but to a certain category of being!]

[”Third question. In the Real Realm, have you ever heard of a woman named Chen Yue? She is human and possesses a special soul, the Nine Heavens Soul Spirit!”]
