One Trait Draw Per Year Even Simulations Count

[Shen Yue and the others were crushed by your presence, immediately kneeling all around, prostrate on the ground.]

[The children in the courtyard had never seen Grandpa so furious, and they were frightened as well, but they felt no physical discomfort.]

[This was because your control over your power had reached masterful precision.]

”We sacrificed so many comrades!

We paid such a terrible price!

I planned my whole life to repel outside enemies and protect the lives of everyone in this realm!

So in the end, is it all for devouring our own people?!

If one day I die and go down to the afterlife, how can I face Hua Wuyan! Face the Sword Lord! Face those brothers who fought at my side!!”

[Your roars rang like thunder, deafening, delivering both spiritual shock and physical force.]

[The big shots present coughed up blood on the spot.][They dared not resist in any way, and could only admit the truth in silence.]

Shen Yue ground his teeth and said,

”Sword Wielder, we were wrong!”

”Have you already refined the pill?”

”No! Today we came specifically to ask for your consent, to continue studying the pill formula’s feasibility. We haven’t actually refined any yet.”

”Don’t lie to me! Otherwise I won’t mind if the human world loses a few Martial Saints!”

”We wouldn’t dare!”

[Thinking back, the once towering head of the Shen Family now could not even speak with you as an equal.]

[Dongfang Yuque wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and sighed.]

”Sword Wielder, how many years of life do you have left?”

”None, any day now.”

[Dongfang Yuque shed tears over this, even though you had just rebuked him.]

[Although he came up with this crooked plan, his original intent was still for you to live longer, to hope someone could protect the human world.]

[You realized that after the battle with the Dragon-Men, all sides in the human world had developed an excessive dependence on you.]

[With you around, they felt safe.]

[Once they learned your life was nearing its end, they panicked, and all sorts of crooked schemes surfaced.]

[Perhaps leaving wouldn’t be a bad thing; it could force the world out of its greenhouse, confront the Void Realm’s bloody storms, and grow faster.]

[You let out a light laugh, reined in all your presence, and sat back in the recliner, looking like an elderly man in his twilight.]

You told them,

”If you cannot achieve immortality, then strive to live out whatever short life you have left, leave the results and experience for future generations to inherit, and repeat this cycle so the whole people slowly grow. That is also remarkable.”

[Everyone bowed deeply. Your words had taught them a lesson.]

”Sword Wielder, do you need us to stay and guard you?”

[Shen Yue actually wanted to say ”attend your death,” but couldn’t bring himself to say it, so he changed it to ”guard.” ]

[You heard the implication and smiled.]

”You should go do what you need to do. I have these adopted sons and daughters to see me off, and that would make me content.”

[You told Li Lingyue that you had another fifty years of life, which was why Li Lingyue was not by your side now.]

[You worried that if she were present when you were about to die, she might not be able to bear it and could do something rash to forcibly prolong your life.]

[It would be better to notify her after you were gone; once it’s an accomplished fact, she might accept it more readily.]

”In that case, we will take our leave.”

[Just as Shen Yue and the others prepared to depart,]

[Baiyun County’s sky cracked!]

”Ka-ka...”

[A spatial vortex began as a small black dot, quickly swelling and spreading across most of the visible sky.]

[Light was blocked, darkness descended!]

[The county residents looked up and fled in terror.]

[Some elderly people, seeing this, had nightmares of the time when Formless released that blood-red mist to cover the world.]

”What’s happening? Is another monster going to destroy the world?”

”Why do we suffer so many calamities here!”

”I told you Baiyun County has bad feng shui!”

[Shen Yue, Dongfang Yuque, and the others immediately recognized what it was.]

”A space passage! Someone opened a passage connecting to the human world!”

”Could another world be launching a world war against the human world?”

”The Sword Wielder relocated our human world’s coordinates, so how could they find us??”

[Compared to Shen Yue and the others’ alarm, you were extremely calm.]

[It was not surprising the human world had been discovered.]

[Because the human world did not vanish from the Void Realm entirely, you merely made its coordinate information irregular.]

[That meant pipeline-style, professional world-war initiators like the Dragon-Men could not find the human world through their usual practiced procedures.]

[But if someone ran around randomly, or made repeated small-scale attempts, it was still possible for them to stumble across it.]

[Who could it be?]

”Swoosh!!”

[Five figures burst out of the space passage.]

[The passage was then forcibly repaired by the world’s rules and vanished.]

[The five ”people” who arrived in the human world looked largely similar to humans.]

[But each had a pair of white wings on their backs, like the Western angels on Earth.]

”Good grief, an angel race, and five of them are all at the god level...”

[To cross the Void Realm plane bare-handed like that, these people must be at high realms.]

[Undoubtedly, this was another intelligent race from the Void Realm, not necessarily called ”Angel Race” by that name.]

[If they could fly naturally, it implied the ceiling for this race’s power was extremely high.]

[Shen Yue and the others immediately flew up to parley with these five otherworldly visitors.]

”Who are you?”

[The five winged beings looked around, then their gaze landed on Shen Yue and the others.]

”%&￥@**(!)”

[One of them spoke a passage that could not be understood.]

[However, each of them held a conch-shaped spirit artifact.]

[The conch absorbed their voices and replayed them, producing speech in the human language.]

[It turned out to be a translation device.]

”Locals, is this the human world?”

[Being called ”locals” was unpleasant, but Shen Yue and the others knew the newcomers were at higher realms, so they endured and responded.]

”Yes. Why have you come?”

[The five aliens showed joy and chattered excitedly.]

[The translator automatically rendered their words.]

”Finally found the human world!”

”Damn it! I wasted over a hundred years of life hunting for it!”

”It’s all the Dragon-Man tribe’s fault. They hid the human world’s coordinates, afraid other attackers would find it!”

”Later some bastard changed the human world’s coordinates and made us take the long way!”

”Luckily we got lucky and stumbled onto it!”

[The five celebrated as if nothing was wrong, then arrogantly pointed at Shen Yue and the others.]

”Locals, tell me quickly! Where is the Path to Immortality in the human world!”
