#56 - Chapter 56: Another Simulation
After killing Black Flame, Lin Changqing immediately set off and flew towards the Wang family. He intended to kill the Wang family's ancestor as well, as this person communicated with the demonic path and deserved to die.
Ten minutes later...
At the Wang family residence, Lin Changqing stood with his sword, the tip stained with blood. At his feet lay a corpse, its face frozen in terror and confusion. This corpse was none other than the Wang family's ancestor.
Lin Changqing acted swiftly, without any wasted words. He arrived at the Wang family and killed the ancestor with a single sword strike.
The Wang family's ancestor and Black Flame Daoist met similar fates; both died quickly in the real world.
Even in death, they couldn't comprehend why a strange, young cultivator in green robes would suddenly come to kill them.
"The Wang family's ancestor and Black Flame Daoist have died in reality. Their destinies have been altered by me."
After killing the Wang family's ancestor, Lin Changqing returned to his home, preparing to begin the next simulation.
At the same time, he reflected on many things.
In their original, predetermined destinies, the Wang family's ancestor and his grandson, Black Flame, were thriving and enjoying great success.
In the predetermined destiny of the first simulation, Black Flame Daoist achieved the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment, with limitless potential.
Thanks to his merit in betraying Jianqiu City, Black Flame would undoubtedly be highly valued in the demonic path. With his talent for Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment, becoming a Core Formation cultivator in the future would be a certainty. The Wang family's ancestor and the Wang family would also benefit from Black Flame's success, enjoying a lifetime of wealth and glory.
In the first simulation, the people of Jianqiu City who died because Black Flame opened the city gates numbered in the millions.
Countless innocent people died, yet these traitorous grandparents ultimately enjoyed wealth and glory, which was truly ironic.
"Black Flame is a person who commits all kinds of evil, a traitor and an insider. Yet, in his original destiny, he was thriving."
"Truly, it's killing and arson that lead to golden belts, while repairing bridges and roads leaves no remains..."
Lin Changqing sat on his bed, muttering to himself. He also thought of the words of Blood Serpent Daoist.
Perhaps Blood Serpent Daoist's words were correct; this world truly valued strength above all else.
It wasn't necessarily true that being kind would always bring good fortune, or that being evil would always bring retribution. Such was not the case.
Don't you see, in both the righteous and demonic paths, the demonic path had the last laugh. The Supreme Elder among the Heavenly Demons, who slaughtered countless lives and refined the Myriad Souls Banner, was still living well.
"The world is indeed unfair, and the demonic path is not wrong. But..."
Lin Changqing narrowed his eyes. He had changed the original destiny.
He killed Black Flame and the Wang family's ancestor, preventing this pair of grandfather and grandson from enjoying the wealth and glory of their predetermined destiny.
In a sense, he had carried out a judgment on the evil deeds of Black Flame and his grandson, completing a modification of destiny.
Why could he punish the evil deeds of Black Flame and his grandson?
Because he had the strength.
If he were still the small fry at the second level of Qi Refining, he certainly wouldn't be able to change anything. But after repeated simulations...
He was now at the seventh level of Foundation Establishment, easily killing Black Flame and his grandson.
"Therefore, I must become stronger. I must cultivate to the strongest realm!"
In the dim room, illuminated by candlelight, Lin Changqing's face was half in shadow and half in light as he muttered to himself.
Today, he had the strength of the seventh level of Foundation Establishment, so he killed Black Flame and his grandson, bringing retribution to these two evildoers.
If he had the strength of a Nascent Soul cultivator, he could punish the evil deeds of the entire Azure Province's demonic path.
If he had the strength of a Divine Transformation Heavenly Lord, he could punish the power of the entire Wu Kingdom.
If he had...
"Therefore, I must cultivate to the strongest realm..."
Lin Changqing murmured, suddenly realizing the purpose of his future cultivation.
What was the purpose of cultivation, after all? Was it simply to become stronger?
"If I become the strongest person in the world in the future, I will make sure that there are gods three feet above everyone's head. I will establish the Underworld, establish reincarnation, and I will make sure that everyone who is good receives good rewards, and everyone who is evil receives evil retribution!"
"I will establish the Ten Halls of the Underworld to measure the good and evil of all beings in the world. After everyone dies, the Ten Halls of the Underworld will uphold my will. I will allow kind people to be reborn into good lives, and I will punish evil people for eternity!"
Lin Changqing's eyes showed determination as he realized the purpose of his future cultivation.
The simulator had changed his destiny, so why shouldn't he use the simulator to increase his strength and change the destiny of this world?
They all said the world was unfair, so he would strive to cultivate to the highest realm and create a utopian world of his own ideals!
Whoosh!
At that moment, thunder rumbled in the sky, and many illusions appeared behind Lin Changqing. A yellow corpse river, seemingly traversing endless worlds, manifested, where bones were piled up like mountains. Slowly, a figure wearing a black imperial robe sat on a throne made of piled bones.
After the figure in the black imperial robe appeared, many unknowable and extremely terrifying and mysterious sounds, as if from ancient times, and great vows resounded around Lin Changqing.
"When I am at my strongest, all living beings in the three thousand worlds will enter my reincarnation. Recite my name, and good and evil will be rewarded!"
"When I am at my strongest, all living beings in the ten directions, the good can enter my divine kingdom, and evil demons and hungry ghosts will all fall into hell..."
"When I am at my strongest, the Yellow Springs will have an Emperor, good and evil will be measured, reincarnation will have its way, and the good can see the heavenly beings in the kingdom, and their merits will be rewarded with bliss!"
"When I am at my strongest, in the immeasurable worlds of the ten directions, all things, such as pavilions, farmland, cities, poverty, wealth, and all things in the world, will be treasures of my Hua Lotus. All beings are equal, a utopian world!"
"When I am at my strongest..."
One great vow after another resounded behind Lin Changqing. If people from ancient times saw this scene, they would be extremely astonished!
This was actually a great vow!
In the past, when Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was eternally suppressing hell, he made three thousand great vows: If hell is not empty, I will not become a Buddha!
Now, after hundreds of millions of years, someone in the human world has made a great vow!
What a great undertaking! What great karma! What great ambition and breadth of mind, that someone in the world dares to do this!
Slowly, the sound of the great vow gradually stopped, and the previously blurred face of the figure in the black imperial robe became clearer and clearer, and in the end, it was exactly the same as Lin Changqing!
"I made a great vow, and it happened to complete the second divine power," Lin Changqing thought, looking at the figure in the black imperial robe.
Now it seemed that his great vow to establish the Underworld, measure good and evil, and establish reincarnation, coincided with the second divine power, Yellow Springs.
An hour later, Lin Changqing quietly comprehended the second divine power, Yellow Springs, for a while, and then began to look at the panel.
Now that the ultimate goal of life had been established, it was time to start using the simulation to improve his strength.
"First, form the Core, then the Nascent Soul, and improve my strength step by step," Lin Changqing said silently.
【Do you want to start the simulation?】
【Confirm】
【Starting simulation...】
【Remaining simulation次数： Four times.】
Lin Changqing began his sixth simulation, this time with the goal of forming the Core!
【You are reborn with the cultivation of the seventh level of Foundation Establishment from the previous life.】
【What is your next choice...】
【A: Go to Tianyang Valley to get the fragment of the World Tree and fuse it to become the tenth level of Foundation Establishment.】
【B: Honestly stay at home to cultivate】
【C: Stay in Blackwater Fang City. Wait for the attack of the Heavenly Demon Sect in a few days, and have a life-and-death battle with Qiuyue.】
Options B and C were just there to make up the numbers. Lin Changqing directly chose A.
Before starting this simulation, he had already made a plan in his mind, which was to go to Tianyang Valley to get the fragment of the World Tree and fuse it to become the tenth level of Foundation Establishment. Other options were unnecessary.
【You chose option A and went to Tianyang Valley.】
【After a day of flying, you arrived at Tianyang Valley. Familiar with the road, you came to the Fang Lord's Mansion and got the fragment of the World Tree.】
【After getting the fragment of the World Tree, you ran to Blood Demon Valley and wiped out the entire Blood Demon Valley from top to bottom.】
【Next, you randomly found a hidden cave and began to absorb the spiritual power of the World Tree to cultivate.】
【Ten days later, you finished absorbing the spiritual power of the World Tree and reached the tenth level of Foundation Establishment!】
