One Trait Draw Per Year Even Simulations Count

As long as the Dragon-Man tribe remains, the realm war will continue.

This is a chess match between the Human Emperor and the Heavens, and Chen Yi couldn’t yet tell whether it was better to continue “playing” or to stop.

Chen Yi chose not to interfere with the game’s progress.

He would wait until his simulations made him stronger, until he could resolve things from a higher dimension, and only then decide to end the realm war or make the human world win.

The Ten Thousand Souls Banner had listened in on the entire conversation between Chen Yi and the Dragon-Man Realm Master, and he understood a lot more now.

Seeing Chen Yi make that decision, the Ten Thousand Souls Banner sincerely admired him.

“Brother, you’ve really got a big-picture view now.”

“Maybe… I’ve grown up a bit.”

At present, Chen Yi had already hidden three of the human world’s Five Element Root Vessels in three different planes.

So the simulation task was complete.But there was still one Nine Provinces Cauldron that hadn’t been sheltered.

“Da Chun, which world do you want to go to?”

The Nine Provinces Cauldron took the form of Da Chun and stood before Chen Yi.

Da Chun smiled goofily.

“Yi Brother, I can slowly recover just by eating peaches. I don’t need to borrow an Earth Spirit from another plane to heal.”

If it weren’t for the Blood Moon organization’s massacre of Luoding Village, the Nine Provinces Cauldron would have been the best preserved among the human world’s root vessels during the persecution.

Its artifact body hadn’t been damaged at all.

Its artifact spirit had dispersed into later generations through reincarnation.

As long as the artifact body and artifact spirit reunited, a complete Nine Provinces Cauldron could return.

From this, it was clear that among the five major root vessels of the human world, the Nine Provinces Cauldron’s judgment of the situation was the most accurate, and its self-preservation decision was the most effective.

In other words, the Nine Provinces Cauldron was the smartest.

But right now, the Nine Provinces Cauldron was the most…

Unpredictable.

“Da Chun, having an Earth Spirit from another plane help you recover would speed things up.”

“Yi Brother, I want to stay in the human world, stay by your side.”

“Da Chun, we won’t be apart for long. I’ll grow stronger soon. When the Black Hand can’t threaten you anymore, I’ll naturally bring you back.”

Become stronger again?

Sotuofeiren and the Five Talented Brothers of Xuanlan were speechless.

They were already practically invincible and he still wanted to get stronger. From the way he was talking, it didn’t seem like it would take long either.

People really could drive each other crazy.

Da Chun grinned foolishly.

“But Yi Brother, having the Earth Spirit help us recover doesn’t finish in a blink. It still takes many years.

Since you’ll bring us back soon, we won’t have healed much by then.

From the standpoint of recovering damage, what’s the difference between going to other planes or not?”

Chen Yi was actually left speechless by Da Chun’s words.

He found them strangely reasonable.

“Alright then, I’ll bring you back to the human world.”

“Ha ha, good.”

Da Chun bit into a peach, juice running all over his mouth.

Chen Yi forced a wry smile, shook his head, then waved his hand and wiped Da Chun’s mouth clean from a distance.

The Five Talented Brothers of Xuanlan asked cautiously.

“Um… Master, does that mean we don’t need to collect materials everywhere anymore? Didn’t the Dragon-Man Realm Master send over all the materials you needed?”

“Yes, we can return to the human world.”

“We… we don’t have to go then, right?”

“What, you still want to go back to the Winged Realm? Your reputations there are already ruined. You can’t go back.”

“What the Master says is right, so just drop us in some random plane and we won’t be underfoot.”

“Right, I’ve already felt that the guards in my old house weren’t very competent. Once we go back I’ll fire them. Since there are vacancies, you can take those positions.”

“Ah??”

The Five Talented Brothers of Xuanlan went ashen, lips turning white.

They were renowned Martial Gods of the Winged Realm, yet they had fallen to becoming sea robbers, and now they were being assigned to guard the doorstep for a human Guardian!

Chen Yi turned his gaze to Sotuofeiren.

That guy was extremely pragmatic and immediately snapped to attention and saluted.

“Don’t worry, my lord. Protecting the household is my duty!”

Chen Yi was very satisfied.

“You’ll be the head of the guard from now on. Command those five.”

“Thank you for the promotion, my lord!!”

The Ten Thousand Souls Banner couldn’t hold back.

“Surname Sotu, you are a Martial God, can’t you at least have some face?”

Sotuofeiren pretended not to hear.

Chen Yi punched through the void again, opening spatial turbulence to search for the human world.

With everything settled, Chen Yi’s mood relaxed further; he wasn’t in a hurry at all.

Once he returned to the human world, he would start the seventh simulation!

“Huh? The Demon World?”

While searching for the human plane, Chen Yi accidentally found the Demon World.

A sudden idea struck him.

“Let’s go to the Demon World.”

Sotuofeiren put on the expression of an old steward.

“Master, aren’t we returning to the human world?”

“I want to do some preparations in the Demon World.”

For the seventh simulation, Chen Yi still planned to go to the Real Realm.

It was both to speed through the second loop and to pursue a higher realm, to resolve more doubts in his heart.

Although he could raise his realm through the realm war in the Void Realm, the time cost would be unimaginable.

Even if Chen Yi used dimensional reductions to strike, gathering Mundane Qi would still be an extremely slow process.

So the most efficient method remained going to the Real Realm to improve.

The sixth simulation had been an exploratory solo trip to the Real Realm.

For the seventh, Chen Yi did not intend to be a lone hero; he wanted to pull up a powerful force for himself.

He would start from the Demon World.

Boom!!!

A red humanoid meteorite burned as it fell to the ground.

A rope trailed behind it, tied to several people who were brought down foaming at the mouth.

After landing, Chen Yi looked around this familiar world.

The sky was dim and lightless, the land desolate and forsaken, faint mists hung in the air, and a rotten stench lingered.

This was already his third time coming to the Demon World—even though by real-world time this was his first.

“The Demon World really has been conquered by the Dragon-Man tribe.”

“The Dragon-Men are just too overpowered.”

“What a pity, this world that once went toe-to-toe with the once-proud human race fell in the first battle of the realm war.”

Sotuofeiren and the Five Talented Brothers of Xuanlan looked at the surrounding heavens and earth and sighed.

Chen Yi spread his divine sense to the fullest, covering the surrounding land.

He was searching for Hu Tiangong and the Demon Tribe Guardian Qilin Beast.

The Qilin Beast was far from this area, so Chen Yi didn’t locate him.

But Hu Tiangong was a reasonable distance away, and Chen Yi’s divine sense quickly locked onto him.

“You all wait here for me.”

With that, Chen Yi became countless afterimages and vanished beyond the horizon.

Sotuofeiren wore an expression of admiration.

“Master, even your flight posture is unmatched, uniquely outstanding!”

The five of Xuanlan cast disdainful looks at Sotuofeiren.

“You, at least you’re the city lord of Alba. Is that face of yours worthy of the Realm Master’s cultivation and promotion of you?”

Sotuofeiren snorted coldly.

“What do you mean by that? Are you harboring some resentment toward our master?”

“Nonsense! Having resentment is normal. You, though, are actually eager to be someone’s dog.”

“Heh, interesting. Those forced to be dogs look down on those who voluntarily become dogs. How noble of you, really admirable.”

“Sotuofeiren! Say that again and see what happens!”

“What, want to fight? Fine, when Master returns I’ll tell him the truth, that the five of you still harbor grudges and might harm Master in the future!”

“You’re practically the same as a eunuch now!”
