One Trait Draw Per Year Even Simulations Count

”Oh? This legendary trait tag is quite interesting.”

As long as both hands make contact, he could copy anything?

This was practically the effect of a Prismatic trait tag.

The reason it didn’t reach Prismatic level was all in that word ”Discount.”

A ”discount version” is something with similar characteristics, but with inferior craftsmanship, materials, and the like.

In computer hardware terms, some brands’ low-end products, or brands that fall outside the top tier, are jokingly referred to by users as discount versions.

If that’s hard to understand, you can think of a discount version as a knockoff, though there are still differences between the two.

”Discount hardware on a computer, you can squeeze some performance out of it too, but cultivation creations being discount...”

Chen Yi directly swapped this trait tag on, then touched the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

A Ten Thousand Souls Banner that looked exactly identical appeared out of thin air in Chen Yi’s hand.The Ten Thousand Souls Banner was startled.

”Holy crap! What the hell is this?! It’s like I’m looking at myself?”

The discount version Ten Thousand Souls Banner also made the exact same sound.

”Holy crap! Where did this cheap imitation come from, trying to pass itself off as me?!”

The genuine Ten Thousand Souls Banner was furious upon hearing this.

”Well well, showing off your skills before the master, huh? Don’t stop me, bros, I’m going to dismantle this impostor!”

Chen Yi planted the Ten Thousand Souls Banner off to the side.

Old Wan’s internal memory was currently maxed out by the demon souls stuffed inside, so he basically couldn’t do anything but yell empty threats from over there.

Chen Yi had the genuine Ten Thousand Souls Banner release some demon souls, then used the discount version to suck them all in.

Afterwards, using that batch of demon souls, he performed some of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner’s classic moves, like ”Hundred Demons Night Parade,” ”Myriad Ghosts Go to Market,” ”Soul Reformation,” and so on.

These moves were indeed effective; as long as he didn’t push the intensity, it felt no different from the genuine version.

But if he needed to control more powerful souls, the discount version would struggle, and the power would be greatly diminished.

Moreover, a careful inspection would reveal.

The discount version’s internal space was smaller, the overall artifact body was weaker, and the artifact spirit’s sensory abilities were inferior.

After using it for a short while, it actually started heating up.

The discount Ten Thousand Souls Banner was still trying to make excuses.

”Dude, I feel like I’m catching fire, can you feel it? Come on! Let’s go fight together!”

A flash of fire flickered in Chen Yi’s hand, and Triple-Origin True Fire directly incinerated the discount version.

”Making discount versions of ordinary things can only serve as emergency substitutes. If you’re going to make a discount, make one of something extremely powerful. Even a discount version of that would be incredible.”

The Ten Thousand Souls Banner already represented the highest mountain and the longest river of Void Realm spirit artifacts.

What Chen Yi was pursuing now could only be found in the hands of the big shots from the Real Realm.

”Let this trait tag shine brilliantly in the simulation. The seventh simulation begins!”

[Simulation Begins!]

[When no one supports my lofty ambitions, I shall tread through the snow and reach the mountain’s peak on my own!]

[After experiencing the sixth simulation, struggling through the bottom rungs of the Real Realm, and ultimately dying so anticlimactically.]

[Your heart still burns with unwavering passion. No matter how high or treacherous the mountain, you still possess the determination to conquer it!]

[After fostering the Sun Moon Tower, Qiankun Mirror, and Mountain River Armor in various Void Realm planes, you will once again step onto the Path to Immortality and return to the Real Realm!]

[Year One, age twenty-seven.]

[Extracting trait tags...]

[Extraction successful!]

[”Who Am I?” (Gold Legendary):

Young man, when you’re out in the world, your identity is whatever you make of it.

You can fabricate your origins, experiences, and relationships. You can modify your appearance, physique, bone structure, and height, transforming yourself into an entirely different person.

When editing your identity, success depends on meeting certain conditions.

Any person or any method that investigates you will only uncover the set of fabricated information you’ve created.

If you voluntarily reveal your true identity to someone, their perception will be corrected.

Yes, this is the most perfect identity-concealing trait tag!]

[Adjust trait tags?]

[Yes/No]

”Two Golds in a row? Is a 10% probability really this strong?”

Chen Yi was already dreaming of the magnificent spectacle of his trait tag column filled entirely with gold.

”This trait tag is a must-have.”

From what the deputy director of the Peace Bureau, Immortal Lord Jin Hai, had said in the sixth simulation, Chen Yi already knew.

Once his identity as a human world ascender was exposed, the Holy Dragon Society and its direct subordinate organizations, not to mention countless alien factions, would absolutely hunt him down to the last.

Therefore, Chen Yi couldn’t be too flashy. He had to crawl in the shadows.

But Chen Yi was used to being flashy. Having to suppress his personality too much was genuinely suffocating, especially in an environment like the simulation that shouldn’t be overly restrictive in the first place.

So, ”Who Am I?” was the perfect solution to this problem.

Give himself a fake identity and let them investigate all they want. Everything they dug up would be exactly what Chen Yi wanted them to know.

[You have replaced ”Unrestricted Communication” with ”Who Am I?”.]

[The enhancement speed of ”You Get Stronger Just by Breathing!” is equal to the standard cultivation speed of your current environment.]

[Your current realm cannot improve any further in the Void Realm, so the standard speed = 0. ”You Get Stronger Just by Breathing!” appears to be in effect, but is actually useless. You’re just breathing.]

[So you still have to go to the Real Realm, and you plan to continue walking the Path of Death 999 times, starting from Fortune Star.]

[This way, every event along the way is one you already know. You can speedrun on your second playthrough and use your foresight to grab some good stuff.]

[Not only will you start from Fortune Star yourself, but you’ll also make sure that every subsequent human who uses the Path to Immortality starts from Fortune Star too.]

[That third-class star has no Immortal Qi, but it’s also a place that draws no attention.]

[You will use Fortune Star as your starting point to link together the strength of the human race!]

[A magnificent blueprint is brewing in your heart. Let us wait and see.]

[You summon Chen Six.]

[”You stay in the human world.”]

[Chen Six stretched lazily.]

[”What for? You’re going to the Real Realm again?”]

[”What else? Stay in the human world waiting to die of old age?”]

[”I’ve had enough of getting beaten up. Staying in the human world is great, I can enjoy some peace and quiet.”]

[”Don’t just enjoy yourself. You have a mission too.”]

[Chen Six’s biggest mission was, of course, to stay stationed in the human world, deterring the Black Hand, so that his old acquaintances in the human world would have time to develop and reach the strength needed to walk the Path to Immortality, thereby reuniting with him in the Real Realm.]

[Even if the deterrence failed and the Black Hand still struck out to destroy the Five Element Root Vessels, Chen Six could still take the opportunity to make contact with the Black Hand and provide Chen Yi with intel.]

[Additionally, Chen Six had some smaller tasks to handle.]
