My Simulated Road to Immortality

"From what I initially observed, the Nine-star Red Beads pattern remains. Considering the influence record data in this experimental field, the Nine-star Red Beads should preserve all life data of the living beings that existed in the history of the Xuanhuang World..."

Before Li Fan's eyes, it seemed like billions of different faces flashed past swiftly.

A question suddenly appeared in his Spirit Consciousness.

If the mortals were created to fill the world's emptiness as NPCs, then what are those cultivators who were active in the history of Xuanhuang World, those peerless strongmen who were renowned throughout the ages?

"In the history of the Xuanhuang World, there were frequent appearances of prodigies."

"All those who once ascended as True Immortals didn't leave any records. Either they were deliberately erased, or they all attained the Nameless Realm and spontaneously disappeared from the world's records."

"If it's the former, it's fine. If it's the latter..."

Nameless True Immortals, even if they died en masse during the Immortal World annihilation catastrophe like ants, required self-Unity-Path for each nameless ascension. Their numbers certainly wouldn't be too large.

Plus, this is built upon countless, immeasurable cultivation worlds in the Lower Realm.

No matter how exquisite and mystical the Xuanhuang World is, it couldn't possibly produce so many Nameless True Immortals frequently.

It's like a bolt of lightning splitting the Mist.

A thought emerged in Li Fan's mind: "Could it be that Nameless True Immortals descended to the Lower Realm in some way, using themselves as bait, attempting to attract and capture [Huanzhen]?"

Li Fan thoughts raced.

"The Supreme Treasure from the Infinite Sea, capable of reversing the Path-obliterating Calamity, would certainly tempt even Nameless True Immortals. If it were me and I knew about the existence of this experimental field in the Lower Realm, I'd find a way to get involved, even if the authorities don't allow it, I'd smuggle myself over."

"After all, it's just an incarnate, easily done. What if it was really captured?"

"But [Huanzhen] isn't so easily fished away. They are destined to return empty-handed."

"Those who can cultivate to Nameless True Immortals have unquestionable qualifications themselves. Even if serving as realistic bait, they might not have their original memory, but returning to the Realm of True Immortality shouldn't be a problem."

"As an experimental field, theoretically, there's no way the experimental living beings can ascend and escape. But those who come from the Immortal World are naturally not limited. Some might even be untouchable entities for the True Immortals hosting the experimental field. Naturally, they choose to let them pass."

Li Fan suddenly recalled Mo Rubing's description of King of Mystic Sky's reminiscence.

"King of Mystic Sky could ascend smoothly because the Guardian Immortal Officer of the thunder tribulations happened to fall in the Immortal World annihilation catastrophe, allowing him to ascend the Immortal World by luck. According to King of Mystic Sky, the thunder tribulations had no intention of letting any cultivator pass..."

"King of Mystic Sky, already, vaguely is the Xuanhuang World's first person through eternity. Even from stepping onto the cultivation path, he possibly had assistance from the Fishing Pond. Yet, faced with that Ascension Thunder Tribulation, he still stood no chance."

"It seems, under normal circumstances, escaping from this experimental field is impossible."

Li Fan's face darkened, yet he felt somewhat fortunate.

Fortunately, the Dao Yan Calamity descended, destroying the Immortal World. The True Immortals scattered for survival, no longer caring about this experimental field.

"Otherwise, even with [Huanzhen]'s benefit, I would probably only be like a caged bird or a fish caught in a net..."

Thinking of this, Li Fan suddenly froze.

Reflecting: "Perhaps the calculations of bygone True Immortals weren't wrong. Huanzhen did appear in this designated experimental field. However..."

"Perhaps they didn't anticipate that [Huanzhen] has its own consciousness. Such methods can deceive worldly mortals, but how could it deceive Huanzhen?"

"Hence, it has never revealed itself. It waits..."

"Not just for the destruction of the Immortal World and the experimental field, but also waiting for a qualified and unique vessel."

With this speculation, since returning from the Infinite Sea, Huanzhen, which had been silent, finally showed signs of activity again.

Only this time, the emotion it conveyed made Li Fan somewhat puzzled.

"There's some certainty."

"And some amusement."

"This..."

Li Fan's face remained unchanged, even thick-skinned, wanting to inquire more.

Having lived with Huanzhen for a hundred cycles of Reincarnation, any subtle change in Huanzhen couldn't be hidden from him.

Li Fan keenly perceived that since returning from the Infinite Sea, possibly after encountering Huanzhen's former acquaintance, Huanzhen became increasingly "active."

In the past, it would only lazily respond in certain extreme situations. But now...

This time, faced with Li Fan's sincere inquiry.

The ever-colorless Huanzhen actually gave an answer.

Regarding this result, Li Fan himself was caught off guard. He paused slightly, then searched according to Huanzhen's guidance.

The main body, the puppet Li Buren, showed no change whatsoever.

The change was found in...

Within the time segment created in this life by Li Fan called [Endless Samsara].

Real Celestial Sovereign, trapped within, had already experienced nine thousand three hundred sixty-three reincarnations.

No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't change the outcome of Xuanhuang World's destruction.

Thus, after the eight hundredth attempt, Real Celestial Sovereign finally chose to give up.

He gave up all pursuits, waiting for the annihilation to arrive with resignation at the beginning of each reincarnation.

Gradually, he even felt that perhaps this wasn't so bad.

After all, regardless of the destruction, he would return to the original time point. In some sense, doesn't it mean eternal life?

Understanding this point, Real Celestial Sovereign became even more carefree in relapse.

Living muddle-headedly.

He paid no attention to the fact that the speed of reincarnation he was experiencing was increasing.

From Li Fan's perspective, under Huanzhen's disturbance, the cycle of this period was dramatically accelerated.

Trapped within, Real Celestial Sovereign couldn't perceive it, but Li Fan saw it, witnessing millions of cycles unfolding in an instant. Endlessly playing out before him.

Real Celestial Sovereign, who utterly gave up, abandoned struggle in every cycle.

Reincarnation, therefore, lost all variables.

Each time was identical to the last.

...

Fixing his gaze on Real Celestial Sovereign within the reincarnation, Li Fan's expression turned somewhat inexplicable.

Because he saw Real Celestial Sovereign's spirituality slowly being eroded as the cycles increased.

Just like being subjected to Li Fan's continuous use of the True Yet False Divine Technique.

Ultimately, spirituality was completely lost, future entirely severed!

Li Fan's Spirit Consciousness was a cacophony.

"When truth is turned to false, false becomes true."

"The True Yet False Divine Technique can diminish a cultivator's spirituality."

"And isn't each cycle akin to True Yet False?"
