Villain Simulator, Ch 342

This time, the talents don't seem particularly impressive.

Lucas scanned the options up and down. Although the talents were somewhat underwhelming, he could still find a usable combination.

"I'll choose Pure Yin Body, Soul Possession, and Yin Absorption Technique," Lucas said, stroking his chin. "I have a feeling I might end up becoming a Taoist priest this time."

With Pure Yin Body and Yin Absorption Technique, he could enhance his cultivation. If he died while exorcising ghosts, he could use Soul Possession to survive.

As for why he didn't choose Nirvana Rebirth, even though it was also a rebirth skill and more straightforward, it would erase all his memories and powers. In that case, it would be better to just start over instead of wasting a talent slot.

Additionally, although he wasn't sure what the Pure Yin Body specifically did, its counterpart seemed to be Chongyun's Pure Yang Body. This special constitution could repel evil spirits, so the opposing Pure Yin Body should be similarly effective.

Besides, it was a purple-tier talent after all!

[Talents confirmed]

[Life simulation officially begins]

[0 years old: You were born into the main family of Liyue Harbor's most prosperous exorcist clan. Your father is the current clan leader, and you were born in a year, month, day, and hour of extreme Yin, making you a once-in-a-century Pure Yin Body.]

Wow, an exorcist clan. Could this mean I am related to Chongyun or Shenhe?

Are we going to mess with them again this time?

Wait... why did I say "again"?

[The Pure Yin Body is not only extremely rare but also highly unique, especially for the exorcist clan you belong to.]

[On one hand, the Pure Yin Body grants its possessor exceptional talent in Yin-based arts. On the other hand, it also makes you highly susceptible to attracting evil spirits and falling into demonic paths. More troublesome is that the Pure Yin Body can suppress those around you.]

[Your family is revered as a prestigious orthodox sect in Liyue, and their techniques are all Yang-based. As a Pure Yin Body, you would not only be unable to achieve anything significant but would also hinder others' cultivation. After much deliberation, your father reluctantly agreed to have you "humanely disposed of" to eliminate the threat. However, in secret, he entrusted you to a distant relative from a branch family.]

[Although your mother was unwilling, she ultimately had to send you away in tears to save your life.]

[Thus, you were sent to a young couple. The wife was already pregnant, but they happily took you in.]

[Your "new father" touched your cheek and smiled faintly, saying, "Perfect. My wife is about to give birth. I'll tell everyone that we had twins."]

[Perhaps to meet you, her non-blood-related "older twin brother," your adoptive mother went into labor a few days early and gave birth to a healthy baby girl. Thus, you gained a twin sister named Shenhe.]

Good grief, it really was Shenhe.

Lucas was speechless. Although Shenhe wasn't exactly a protagonist in his previous simulations, this was already the third time she had appeared. Was the simulator biased toward her or something?

And last time, she was his aunt—now, she was his foster sister? This family tree was getting ridiculously tangled.

[Your adoptive father was initially worried that your Pure Yin Body might affect his wife's pregnancy. Unexpectedly, your adoptive sister Shenhe turned out to have an even rarer constitution than the Pure Yin Body—the Solitary Star and Calamitous Fate.]

[Generally, the Solitary Star and Calamitous Fate have an extremely strong destructive influence. Your adoptive mother might have died from it, but your Pure Yin Body seemed to counteract Shenhe's constitution, saving her life.]

So, negative times negative equals positive?

But this could be considered a blessing in disguise. If Shenhe's mother didn't die, her father wouldn't have fallen into despair and turned to demonic paths. Perhaps... Shenhe's fate might be rewritten!

[1 year old: You and Shenhe were like a pair of quarrelsome siblings. Perhaps because both of you had constitutions that suppressed others, you often encountered minor misfortunes, like accidentally falling down the stairs or choking on candy... But you both grew up healthy.]

[2 years old: Naturally, you didn't know you were adopted. Your parents treated you and Shenhe equally, never showing favoritism.]

[3 years old: Like many siblings, you and Shenhe fought constantly. But as the "older brother," you never won a single fight against Shenhe because her strength was simply too great. She could easily lift you over her head, spin you around a few times, and then throw you, leaving you completely defenseless.]

[4 years old: As you grew older, the unique traits of you and Shenhe began to manifest. Shenhe would often fly into uncontrollable rages over trivial matters, and only your comfort could calm her down.]

[Meanwhile, you begin seeing eerie shadows lurking nearby—spirits drawn to your Pure Yin Body. However, the protective formation around your home keeps them at bay.]

[5 years old: Almost every year, the clan leader of the main family would visit the branch family. For some reason, whenever you saw the clan leader, you felt an inexplicable sense of closeness. He also seemed to glance at you once and smile.]

[For an ordinary branch family child, this was naturally an immense honor. So, even at a young age, you resolved to join the main family.]

[The only way for a branch family disciple to enter the main family was to pass the clan's examination at the age of sixteen. If you succeeded, you would qualify to become a clan disciple.]

[6 years old: You and Shenhe reached the age to begin cultivation. However, the clan's techniques were all Yang-based, while your constitutions were Yin-aligned. Forcing yourselves to cultivate would only yield half the results with double the effort.]

[Coincidentally, an immortal known as the "Cloud Retainer" passed by. Seeing your unique constitutions, she specially gifted you two cultivation techniques that could suppress the Yin and malevolent energy in your bodies.]

[Moreover, the Cloud Retainer specifically instructed that under no circumstances should you and Shenhe be separated, or disaster would surely follow.]

[7 years old: Your parents naturally took the Cloud Retainer's words to heart. They had you and Shenhe practice the techniques separately. Shenhe practiced the Heart-Calming Art, which could pacify her mind and keep her free from the influence of malevolent energy. As for you, your technique was even more peculiar—it was called the Yin-Shattering Absorption Technique.]
