Volume 1 Chapter 8: Simulations, Simulations, and Simulations...
"My master's… daughter?"
Fang Zhaoge turned strange. He actually received a kiss from his master's daughter? And his master only looked at him? Not sending him to hell or something?
This…
"Am I accepted?"
After a momentary bloated confidence, Fang Zhaoge soon turned serious. He reread the panel from top to bottom. This simulation is extremely vague in some places.
For example, why didn't the Scorching Sun Sect have its own gods? Why doesn't Li Tianwen simply destroy the opponents to their roots? And why do Li Mengzhi, his master's daughter, could easily kiss him just by spending time with him?
Soon, he turned back to his previous theory. The simulation wouldn't be detailed in things he doesn't know. Or things it deemed as not important.
What infuriated him was the lack of mention of other peaks! Other than Body Tempering Peak, how about Frozen Hall Peak? The Scholar Peak? There are also Alchemy Peak and Inscription Peak.
Actually, Fang Zhaoge already noticed something. The only peak that correlates with the sect is actually just the Fire Peak. Other than Body Tempering Peak and Alchemy Peak, which both used fire as a part of their cultivation, none of the other peaks have anything to do with fire.
Besides, Body Tempering Peak could use any other elements and substances other than fire, so it diverts itself from the sect's main component even more.
Also, what does Frozen Hall Peak have anything to do with fire? No, it even opposed it!
"It's like a consensus between different parties to stay in one place and establish themselves… but anyhow, I could just ask my master about it."
After a bit of pondering, Fang Zhaoge decides to put the matter aside and focus on the current issue.
[Simulation completed. Please select one of the rewards below:]
[1. Qualities (Available)]
[2. Attribute Points]
[3. Life Memories]
Fang Zhaoge stared blankly. The quality is clearly a good thing, but Life Memories includes a lot of godly things. The world-destroying Eight Slashes Severing a Thousand Seas, the Demon Relentless Fists and its upgraded version the Fury of the Demon God!
Not to mention the experience of being a Void Refinement expert…
And also the knowledge of divinity!
Although for some reason, he didn't learn any cultivation techniques in the simulation. Fang Zhaoge didn't think too much of it as he finally chose the third.
Quality can come later.
[Notice: The quality will be lost. Are you sure?]
"...Yes."
Ignoring the slight pang in his heart, Fang Zhaoge soon received the memory of over 14 years. He felt like it's been years, yet, it's been only 10 minutes.
Soon, he opened his eyes. They are filled with dissolution, like an expert of the Void Refinement realm. He experienced the brutality of the battlefield, the beauty of love, the cruelness of the world, and the deceitful nature of cultivators.
He was once the man who killed a peak Heaven Immortal expert as a mere early Void Refinement realm!
Suddenly, notices appeared in front of him.
[The Fury of the Demon God (Level 11): Locked. Requirement: Comprehend the Demon Relentless Fists (Pinnacle)]
[Eight Slashes Severing a Thousand Seas (Level 10.9): Locked. Requirement: Comprehend Seven Slashes Severing the Seven Seas (Pinnacle)]
Fang Zhaoge nodded in satisfaction. As long as he reaches pinnacle proficiency in both techniques, he'll immediately comprehend these two skills.
After practicing the newly acquired Demon Relentless Fists for a few days, Fang Zhaoge soon entered Entry proficiency and sat down.
He still has some business he has to take care of.
"Proceed!"
[16 years old…]
[When you cultivate, Li Mengzhi shocked you by her appearance at night. You suffered qi deviation and died on the spot!]
[You died!]
Fang Zhaoge remained unmoved, inwardly being dumbfounded by his stupidity. He merely chose the second option and continued.
[+10 Attribute Points]
[16 years old…]
[19 years old. You stepped into the battlefield, feeling that you were invincible. However, the God of the Demon Extermination Hall suddenly appeared and ambushed you! You hold on for a moment, shocking everyone on the battlefield, before you are erased by the God's divine power.]
[You died!]

"Simulation is like a game of luck. It's either I will encounter a fortune, or I'll die a stupid death."
Fang Zhaoge easily chose the second option and the fifth simulation finally appeared. He thought for a while and found it feasible.
"Let's take a different approach."
[16 years old. Li Tianwen decides to hide your existence in fear of attracting those existences.]
[Li Mengzhi asked about your cultivation and you stared at her blankly. She left aggrievedly.]
[17 years old. You give your all to reach the Nascent Soul realm and it only took you a month to reach it! Li Tianwen approached you, asking what you needed. You wanted a cultivation technique that could devour every qi. Li Tianwen silently hands out a black scripture and tells you to practice it cautiously.]
[You opened the scripture and were shocked. It's the Demon Devouring Heaven and Earth, a high-level god cultivation technique! However, if the user was like an insatiable beast, it was comparable to an Earth Immortal technique, even Heaven Immortal technique is possible!]
[You were curious how your master got such an overbearing cultivation technique. But you put it aside, instead, you cultivate the technique and find out that your absorption rate has been increased by dozens of times!]
[In a month, you broke through to the Soul Formation realm! After consolidating your cultivation and forming your eleventh element in your soul, you asked Li Tianwen for permission to leave.]
[Li Tianwen looked at you strangely. You explained you'll be using a new identity. He soon agrees and gives you a life saving treasure capable of repelling a God's attack!]
[Li Mengzhi met up with you and you bid farewell. You felt it was a pity you have to focus on other things other than her.]
[Right after you left, the Scorching Sun Sect was plunged into war. You didn't participate. You used the name 'Fang Ge' as your other identity. You decided to directly visit the capital of the Great Ming Empire.]
[Midway, a group of people by the name of Guangzhou Merchant was attacked by a mysterious individual surpassing Void Refinement. You tried not to intervene, but the figure noticed you and wanted you dead.]
[You killed him in one punch. The Guangzhou Merchant was shocked. But you're already gone when they want to meet you. You only told them that your name is Fang Ge.]
[You arrived at the capital of the Great Ming Empire. The capital was bustling because the beloved princess of the Emperor, Princess Shenming, had already reached the world's limit as a mere Void Refinement expert. And she's only 15!]
[She was known as the best genius throughout history. Her talent overwhelmingly exceeds the 10.000.000 mark, guaranteeing her the Immortal realms!]
[You decided to ignore it and began collecting information from various sources. You also find out how talent was identified after Divine Soul. Void Refinement realm, 2.001-20.000. Divine Hall realm, 20.001-100.000. True God realm, 100.001-1.000.000. King God realm, 1.000.001-10.000.000!]
[You were shocked. After that, you read the jade slips containing the information about the Blue Moon Sect, Demon Extermination Hall and Poisonous Gu Sect from various sources.]
[Turns out, they are the subsidiary forces of the Immortal World that spread across countless worlds! You were surprised. It was also the same for the other three of the Eight Regions' Sects.]
[As for the Heaven Turning Palace, the Heavenly Emperor actually created it himself without any help whatsoever and overwhelmingly suppressed the subsidiary forces of the Immortal World!]
[The Scorching Sun Sect, however, was said to have been established by a mysterious figure along with six other pioneers. Thus, the famous Seven Peaks of the Scorching Sun Sect have been there ever since.]
[You were in awe of the Heavenly Emperor and wished to investigate. However, information related to him was strictly distributed, and you have no right yet to see it.]
[18 years old. You already got what you needed in the capital and were about to go to the Forbidden Zones from the information you got. You also reached the pinnacle of Demon Relentless Fists combat technique and Demon Devouring Heaven and Earth technique.]
[However, the other three subsidiary forces of the Immortal World, the Pi Xiu Clan, the Thunderborn Mountain and the Star Institution ambushed the capital of the Great Ming Empire to capture Princess Shinmeng.]
[The Emperor was enraged and his King God aura exploded, overwhelming everyone! He forced back all of them with his aura alone.]
[You mind your own business. After the situation cooled down, you left the capital and went to the Arctic Eternal Domain, one of the Forbidden Zones.]
[19 years old. You arrived. You met several creatures with white fur and were attacked, but you killed them all with one punch. You have broken through and reached the peak of Soul Formation with 20 elements in your soul.]
[You also reached the pinnacle in Seven Slashes Severing the Seven Seas and the Demon Relentless Fists, comprehending the Eight Slashes Severing a Thousand Seas and the Fury of the Demon God!]
[After a few months of wandering, you came across a boundless Ice Palace. You could feel the overwhelming pressure dawning down on you. However, you steeled yourself to enter.]
[Endless ice, humanoid armored figures tried to stop you, but you made them perish with just one punch. At the deepest part of the palace, you saw a woman in an ice sphere.]
[Other than Li Mengzhi, she was the most beautiful woman you've ever seen. Her white hair was scattered, their flows immortalized by the ice sphere.]
[You touched the sphere, and it turned into ice dust. The woman in white was freed, and she opened her eyes, revealing her bewitching crimson eyes. She looked at you and subconsciously touched your hand.]
[You freeze to death!]
[You died!]

[1. Quality (Available)]
[2. Attribute Points]
[3. Life Memories]
Fang Zhaoge was speechless. That woman turned his quadrillion tonnes combat strength body, which he in the simulation has strengthened countless times, into ice just by a touch?
It has to be known that when he was in a Void Refinement realm, he could kill a peak Heaven Immortal expert if he gave his all. So when he was at peak Soul Formation realm, a Pseudo Immortal expert was no problem for him.
But that woman… turned him into ice just by a touch?
Fang Zhaoge found it inconceivable. That woman is too powerful.
The talent identification also surprised him. He thought hundreds of millions of points of talent were invincible. Turns out, 10.000.000 is still within the semi-immortal realms!
Soon, he calmed down and looked at the options.
Other than the cultivation technique from the third option, there's nothing worth mentioning. He could also ask the same thing in the next simulation. Thus, he chose the first option.
[The Sword Saint (Green) has been obtained!]
[The Sword Saint (Green): A genius who could handle all kinds of swords. Increased sword aptitude by 5x. Quality limit: Purple.]
Fang Zhaoge was reminded of the sword plays between two men his female friends with special preferences kept talking about back in his previous life. Does that count…?
His mouth twitched. Damn myself, you're already an exalted immortal, yet you thought that kind of thing?
Afterward, Fang Zhaoge kept simulating. Unfortunately, his approaches resulted in early death. One of them even showed how he died by being toyed to death by female gods!
Although he dominated dozens of them, unfortunately, his kidney couldn't hold on after the 61st female god…
But that's not the point!
"F*ck! This system has no boundary!"
In the previous 4 simulations, he could only get attribute points and a cultivation technique that he trained to Entry.
He tried to suck his master dry, but he only got a smack that broke his brain, resulting in his death…
His luck wasn't good enough to pull a quality.
He was tempted to make the third choice when he was toyed with by those female gods, but remembering how pointless it was, Fang Zhaoge used all of his willpower to choose the second option.
Fortunately, it's different this time.
[Simulation completed. Please select one of the rewards below:]

"First!"
[Unprecedented (Blue) has been obtained!]
[Born For Divine (Red) has been obtained!]
Fang Zhaoge widened his eyes. These two qualities sound so overpowered! He prepared his heart as he opened their information.
[Unprecedented (Blue): You are invincible within the same realm. Not even the reincarnation of an Immortal Emperor or the realms above it could defeat you within the same realm! Quality limit: Orange]
[Born For Divine (Red): You were meant for divinity. While others search for divinity, divinity searches for you. Increased your divinity by 100x. Quality limit: Black Golden]
"100x divinity?!"
Fang Zhaoge was so shocked that he slipped. After he sat down and recuperated himself. He took deep breaths for a few minutes before he could calm himself.
"100x divinity… even if I lost my invincible foundation, I can easily kill King Gods as if they were chickens as a Void Refinement expert, no?"
Not to mention in the Void Refinement realm, he would probably be invincible in the Divine Soul realm. There's also his ridiculous foundation…
Divinity is vastly different from combat strength. From the Divine Soul realm, one could only receive about 0.1 points of divinity from each breakthrough until they reached the 10th Divine Soul realm.
Afterwards, one will receive 0.2 points of divinity from each breakthrough in the Void Refinement realm. Each realm would multiply the point of divinity received from each breakthrough by two, and breaking through to the next realm multiplied the accumulated divinity by two times. So even a King God would only get about 1.6 points of divinity each breakthrough.
So usually, a Peak King God has around 80 points of divinity. While Fang Zhaoge could get over 10 points of divinity each breakthrough in the Divine Soul realm! Not counting his invincible foundation!
Divinity also depends on foundation. Some monsters could receive 5 points of divinity right off the bat from each breakthrough they made in the Divine Soul realm, but it was usually those descendants of Immortal Emperors…
Of course, all of that would happen when he reached the Divine Soul realm, when he began accumulating divinity. As of now, he's just an 'ordinary' Qi Refinement junior.
