31. The life simulation 5 end
Afterward, I dispersed the crowd causing the commotion and gathered with the people from Cloud sect and Oliver Edwards in the main hall.
After discussing and exchanging opinions, the Cloud sect decided that Silas Edwards deserved his fate.
Upon hearing the verdict, Silas Edwards felt as if his heart had died, looking at his senior sister, who usually adored him. That disgusted gaze—it was all because of that wretched Noah Drake, who suddenly appeared. And this guy, upon closer inspection, resembled me somewhat. Senior sister had been staring at him from the start...
No, from the beginning, you never liked me... but him. I was only a substitute for him. No wonder, when I proposed, you refused... I will definitely take my revenge.
The Edwards family was unwilling to accept this but had no choice but to leave. The people of Cloud sect also left, but Marie stayed behind.
In the main hall, the atmosphere became a bit heavy. I didn't know why, but I felt an irritating sensation rising within me, making it hard to breathe.
I didn't understand where these emotions were coming from, but there were more important things to deal with at the moment.
I told them to reconcile. I had some matters to resolve.
After that, I went to the Edwards family.
I entered the ancestral hall and destroyed the summoning array they were using to call upon the demon race. I met the Edwards family's elder and fought with him. During the fight, I learned that the Edwards family was actually the family of my parents.
My parents were part of the main branch, key figures in the family. However, during an enemy attack, they were killed, and I was separated.
After learning the truth, the Edwards family's elder wanted me to return, but I refused. He no longer pursued the issue regarding Silas Edwards. If the marriage agreement went as planned, the eldest son of the Edwards family would marry into the Aeron family in this generation. Since I was marrying Eira Aeron, it coincidentally aligned with the agreement. The elder hoped that the main line's heritage wouldn't be broken and that relations with the Aeron family would continue. He promised that I would become the Edwards family's next leader.
I then went to the Li Fire sect and fought their leader until he accepted me as his elder brother.
Next, I went to an abandoned area. In an old, dilapidated temple, I pulled a pale female corpse out of a bottomless well and threw it onto the ground. The calamity of the ghost plague disappeared.
After that, I imprinted all of my insights into my subconscious, ready to awaken when the right conditions were met.
I looked at the scroll and walked into the future. I warned my future self. I intended to do a few things for him, but it seemed unnecessary, and it probably wasn't wise to do so... I sighed... some things shouldn't be changed.
After finishing everything, I returned to Eira and Marie, who were on the verge of fighting each other.
I approached and embraced them both, but the conflict wasn't resolved. I had no choice but to take both of them to the room and slowly educate them.
Then came the days when time could no longer separate them....
...
The next day, within Tigerbold Manor…
The mountain was enveloped in chilling winds, the sky heavy and overcast.
In his room, Noah curled up in thick, soft blankets.
A notification appeared.
Simulation complete. Calculating… All cultivation knowledge has been downloaded.
"Urgh, so uncomfortable down there. What did I dream?" Why no summary of the dream's events?
System: To prevent cognitive overload, knowledge is stored in segments. Relevant information will appear when needed.
Silence.
"God, it's freezing… and I'm starving, exhausted… What did I dream about?"
What about the others?
"System, summon everyone in the manor to the main hall."
System: Simply hold the token and issue your command. All orders will reach every member.
Gripping the token, he felt it respond to its master, emitting a gentle glow.
"Gather in the main hall."
The token vibrated lightly.
Like a smartphone.
