This weapon was once Belia’s personal longsword. She used it to deliver a fatal blow from behind to Ji Hongxiu, the Grand Elder Ye Hu of the Eighth-Level Divine Transformation Realm. Stained with Fox Demon’s Blood, the energy longsword underwent an unknown mutation, causing all those hard by it to taste the agony of a corroding heart.
If you give it to Belia, you will gain an unknown reward.

[Remaining Simulation Points: 644]
Chen Pingchuan suddenly sat up straight.
"HUFF... HUFF... HUFF..."
He gasped for several mouthfuls of cold air. If he wasn’t mistaken, that girl Xia Qingxue had started the planetary cleansing plan again. No, could it be that the last experience gave her the false impression that by cleansing the planet and eliminating most of its lifeforms, she could bring about my resurrection? I’m not so Demon God, so why would I slaughter living beings? No way, no way... surely no one actually thinks like that?
A mont passed, and Chen Pingchuan helplessly realized that it was indeed a possibility—and a very high one at that.
「anwhile」
In a magnificent golden palace at the headquarters of the Holy Spirit Sect on Spirit Beast Island.
"SMASH!!!"
A woman in red was on a rampage, destroying all the decorative fixtures in the palace. Fragnts of all kinds littered the ground.
"Old hag!"
"Little wench!"
"I’m not finished with you all!"
Black Demon No.1 cowered tremblingly in a corner of the palace, its eyes shut tight as it pretended to be asleep. However, its slightly trembling forepaws betrayed it. What happened to this terrifying woman now? She was fine just a mont ago. How did she wake up a completely different person? Won are so frightening.
After venting her anger, Ji Hongxiu suddenly rembered Major General Hu, who had left without a word. She gritted her teeth and commanded, "Soone, summon Major General Hu for an audience."
「Atop the tower of Celestial Palace No.1」
Xia Qingxue wore an expression that said, "I knew it."
So, as long as I cleanse all life on this planet, my husband will be resurrected across ti and space. Wouldn’t that an he could have a lifespan beyond human limits, just like ? Hmm... maybe I only need to clear out the majority, but to be on the safe side, I should probably purify everything. So, what kind of Divine Spirit will my husband be when he revives? The World-Ending Demon God? Or the God of Purification?
Xia Qingxue hadn’t reached a firm conclusion. She had ticulously studied the doctrine of the Holy Spirit Sect and found the theory of sin quite interesting. The idea that all people are sinful, so the world needs purification and humanity needs cleansing, actually seed to make a lot of sense now that she thought about it.
Subsequently, Xia Qingxue frowned. Thinking of Hongkai’Er, whom she had just sent out, she felt a pang of doubt. It seems this subordinate has limited capabilities. It’s ti to cultivate another confidant.
「In the City of No Night」
In the room next to Chen Pingchuan’s, Belia also shot awake in bed. The mories flooding her mind felt as if they had truly just happened in reality. Even as I felt myself falling into an endless darkness, I had no regrets.
When Belia sensed the light again, she looked around at the familiar room, and it felt like only yesterday.
Could it be that it wasn’t a dream, but real? And the people in it really existed? If it’s all true, that would explain what the old woman said. Brother won’t die so easily. And since I’m the closest one to him, does that an I can claim him as my own? Following that line of reasoning, it seems brother really isn’t human.
At this thought, a numbing tingle ran through Belia’s body. She leaned against the soft pillow at the head of the bed and picked up the communicator that was placed aside. Her fingers tapped rapidly, and she soon sent a rather complex instruction to the head of the intelligence section.
She wanted to verify the guess in her heart.
「Back in Chen Pingchuan’s room」
I’m so poor. Where in the world is the Energy Crystal mine? I really can’t go on without it, I’m begging here.
Looking at his pitiful 644 simulation points, Chen Pingchuan wanted to cry but had no tears. Previously, even when he lacked simulation points, he still had a way to exchange Federation Coins for white Energy Crystals. But now, not only was that option gone, but according to Belia, it seed that even the City of No Night’s own energy supply system had encountered a huge problem.
I still need a scouting-type talent, sothing different from a single-target designated skill like 24K Titanium Dog Eyes. Ideally, it would be one that can locate resources. Adding that to the stealth talent I needed before, and considering I only get one simulation attempt per week, the road ahead is long and arduous.
Chen Pingchuan quickly reviewed his current predicant. He hopelessly realized that, according to his previous plan, the only thing he could currently do was carry out the task of guarding the mine.
After briefly organizing his future plans, Chen Pingchuan began to deliberate on this simulation’s rewards.
The ’Uphold Justice’ talent, worth 1,000 simulation points, is amazing and very tempting, but I can’t afford it, so I’ll reserve it. I’ll buy the Foundation Body Tempering Technique for 20 points. Even though I could spend a day organizing it myself, the problem is that what I can piece together in the simulation might not be reproducible in reality. A Bloodstained Red Robe for 10 points and a Backstabbing Energy Blade for 100 points... I’ll buy them both.
The reason Chen Pingchuan decided to buy these two items was simple: the system gave them special annotations. Keep in mind that the Federation Coins from before had been evaluated as a pile of useless garbage. So, these two items were definitely special. Giving them to different people would produce different results. Perhaps one day in the future, they could have a miraculous effect.
Violet, 2 simulation points. Pocket change. Bought. Inherit Physical Fitness, 100 points. Chump change. Can’t buy it, huh? Fine, I’ll let it slide. What else is there? I’ll buy it all!
It had to be said, Chen Pingchuan was truly different now. Even though he only had 644 simulation points left in his pocket, he was acting like a tycoon with thousands, or even tens of thousands.
"Choose to reserve ’Uphold Justice.’ Choose to acquire the Foundation Body Tempering Technique. Choose the items: Bloodstained Red Robe, Backstabbing Energy Blade, and Violet."
[Ding! After deducting 142 simulation points, your remaining total is 502.]
Sigh, I bought so many things, yet it only cost 142 points. This money is too hard to spend. The only pity is that I didn’t get that talent. Even if it can’t be used to break through advancent barriers, I could use it in other ways. Paired with the ’Heaven Rewards Diligence’ talent, I’ll beco the ultimate hexagonal warrior.
"Open attribute panel."
[Ding! The attribute panel is now displayed!]
[Na: Chen Pingchuan]

[Remaining Simulation Attempts: 0]
[Ti Until Next Simulation Attempt: 167:55:42]
Hmm, not bad. It looks much better than the original panel. It’s a pity, though; if only my body could be fully recovered. It seems that with each simulation, my Spirit attribute increases slightly, even if it’s just by a barely noticeable 0.1.
While 0.1 might not seem like much, it was equivalent to a tenth of a normal person’s spiritual power, which wasn’t a small amount at all. One could only say that Chen Pingchuan, having grown accustod to freeloading, was getting carried away.
Chen Pingchuan stroked his chin, a satisfied smile on his face. Although the ten-year crisis still lood, there are still ten years left. Even if the final outco is being dragged back to the Celestial Palace by Xia Qingxue, at worst, I’ll just have to steel myself and live off her. That wouldn’t be so bad. After all, my biggest wish in my previous life was to just lie flat and live peacefully. Compared to the past, my current situation is already great. Of course, who doesn’t want to live a more comfortable life? That’s just human nature.
Halfway through his reflection, Chen Pingchuan suddenly rembered sothing. He bounded to his feet, opened the door, and went to the entrance of Belia’s room.
"KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!!!"
