White Divine Crane

This was an era where everyone could experience various worlds through simulations.
When everyone reached 16 years old, they would receive a Life Lantern, which would grant them two free simulations.
During the free simulations, they had to break through the limits of humans in order to attain a bright future in reality. 
Otherwise, they would lose their Life Lanterns and they would slowly be corrupted by a black fog until they eventually died at a young age. 
Lin Qiye, who transmigrated to this era, failed his first simulation.
During his second simulation, by chance, he acquired a permanent SSS-rank talent - the Deduction of Genesis.
Lin Qiye’s first life: [When you were two, you had a sudden illness, causing you to have a deformed head and low IQ. When you were 15, your parents passed away. When you were 18, you died of an incurable disease.]
Lin Qiye commanded, “The Deduction of Genesis, deduce for me a way to transcend this life.”
[Congratulations for defying the heavens and successfully changing your fate. You acquired S rank in your evaluation. Your rewards are…]

His second life: [When you were 15, the spiritual aura on Earth rejuvenated. You did not awaken any talent while your childhood best friend achieved outstanding attainments with her awakened talent. When you were 16, you were killed by a stranger.]
Lin Qiye summoned, “The Deduction of Genesis!”
[You carefully made plans before the spiritual aura rejuvenated. Because of this, you defied the heavens and successfully changed your fate. You acquired S rank in your evaluation. Your rewards are…]

Worldwide Simulation Era

In Tata Village, after the demons left, they left behind a pile of ruins.

The citizens who had survived the disaster were cleaning up the ruined streets. Wan Meng and the others were also organizing people to repair the array.

Lonemoon and a dozen other people rushed back to Tata Village ahead of the refugees from the four empires.

The dilapidated scene shocked them. After asking about the situation, they sighed with lingering fear.

"I thought the dangers we faced before were terrifying enough. I didn't expect our base camp to be in danger."

"It's all thanks to the Lord. Otherwise, the entire Tata Village would have been razed to the ground."

After sighing, everyone gathered their thoughts and started talking about serious matters.

"I don't know when the Lord will return. Right now, the people from the four great empires are all rushing over. Settling them down is a troublesome matter."
