[You chose Yes.]
[You replaced "Civil War God" with "Mortal Bones."]
[You replaced "High-Grade Bone Structure" with "Low-Grade Bone Structure."]
[You replaced "Running Playlist" with "Human Body Detector."]
Fortune Star had no Immortal Qi, so Chen Yi could not cultivate.
That was why the real Chen Yi, by swapping trait tags, equipped his simulated self with "Mortal Bones," hoping he wouldn't waste his time and could comprehend some Divine Abilities while laying groundwork on Fortune Star.
Divine Abilities were never too many to have.
The best way to counter enemies who wielded Divine Abilities was to master them all.
"I really am someone who treasures time."
Undoubtedly, he was treating his simulated self like a nuclear-powered donkey, not allowing a single moment of rest.
[You occasionally found time to comprehend Divine Abilities.]
[But comprehending these things required the right opportunity.]
[Especially as you mastered more and more Divine Abilities, the difficulty kept increasing.]
[So you couldn't force it, you had to let it come naturally.]
[Within this year, various branches of the Winged God Church across Fortune Star, oblivious to their doom, launched several attacks on White Porridge City.]
[These attacks were nothing to you. You simply raised your Ten Thousand Souls Banner, and the three hundred million Demon Souls within, with just a flick of their fingers, wiped out all the enemies.]
[But it stopped there. You didn't expand outward or cleanse the entire planet.]
[These experience packs you planned to leave for the Rebel Army in the near future.]
[You hoped the rebels on Fortune Star wouldn't be a bunch of greenhouse flowers sheltering under your arm from the wind and rain. You wanted them to be tempered by blood and fire.]
[Thus forging a certain spirit.]
[Cultivation cannot be inherited, and even wealth, once passed down, could be squandered.]
[Only the inheritance of spirit endures, ever new.]
[You were destined to outlive most of them, and you needed this Rebel Army to be not just a force for the next few decades, but also, many, many years later, an important strength in this simulation.]
[So, you needed them to undergo this tempering.]
[Even though there would be many sacrifices along the way.]
[Why didn't the Winged God Church on Fortune Star call for reinforcements from the head church on Lingwei Star?]
[Because you dismantled the Star Harbor.]
[This place could be said to be where your heart was broken.]
[At the start of the sixth simulation, you flew from here to Blazing Star.]
[That was the starry path paved by the lives of the entire planet's Rebel Army, which had become a burden you couldn't let go of for the rest of your life.]
[So when you dismantled the Star Harbor, you showed no mercy. The elite garrison forces there were deader than dead.]
[But you kept all the Formation Masters who maintained the Star Harbor's key formations, locking them in the same prison as the Archpriest and the others, letting them reflect on their actions.]
[One of the Formation Masters, after being thrown into prison, said to the Archpriest with a somewhat mocking tone.]
["Oh, to be locked in the same cell as the Archpriest, what an honor for us!"]
[The Star Harbor wasn't actually important to you.]
[With Myriad Treasures Child Goddess's "Voyager" Star Ship, you could enter the Channel directly without relying on the Star Harbor.]
[You kept those Formation Masters for the future Rebel Army's campaign into the stars.]
[That year, Black Wind arrived at Fortune Star.]
[He strictly followed what Chen Six, left in the human world, had told him, walking the Death Path nine hundred and ninety-nine times.]
[The moment he saw you, Black Wind was so excited that the dragon scales all over his body were glowing.]
["Boss! Is that you, Boss! I knew you wouldn't abandon me! You're even faster than me!"]
[This time you left the human world without anyone knowing.]
[Black Wind thought Chen Six was you.]
[So when Chen Six told him to take the Path to Immortality, Black Wind was a hundred times unwilling.]
[But it was his boss's order, and he didn't want to disobey.]
[It was only until this moment that he understood.]
[The one in the human world was just a doppelganger. The real boss had already been waiting for him on Fortune Star.]
["How are Sotuofeiren and the others doing?"]
["They're as obedient as can be! They thought the one in the human world was the boss, just like me, so they didn't dare act up at all. They're guarding the mansion peacefully for the boss."]
["Starting next year, the six of them will also come up... Speaking of which, these six Winged Clan members are quite important for my next step. I hope they'll listen and not go astray."]
[Myriad Treasures Child Goddess wrote a letter, tricking her disciple into coming to help.]
[You sent a doppelganger and Black Wind aboard the "Voyager," flying toward Blazing Star to deliver the letter.]
[The "Voyager" didn't need a Star Harbor for landing or liftoff, so there was no worry about Blazing Star's strict entry policies blocking your doppelganger outside the planet.]
[Fifth year, thirty-one years old.]
[Extracting trait tags...]
[Extraction successful!]
["A Good Bachelor's Degree Is No Worse Than a Polytechnic Diploma" (White, Common): The cultivation technique you practice automatically decreases in quality. The higher the technique's quality, the more it decreases.]
[Do you want to adjust trait tags?]
[Yes/No]
"A purely negative trait tag, huh? Well, I can use it on the slingshot. When shot at someone, the effect should be to lower the quality of the techniques they've mastered, weakening their combat power."
Chen Yi nodded in satisfaction, and couldn't help but think of that famous saying:
There are no useless martial... no wait, there are no useless trait tags, only useless ways of using trait tags.
[You chose No.]
[That year, the Rebel Army in White Porridge City continued to live a life of plenty, undergoing high-intensity military training every day.]
[The people training them came from the Winged God Church's eight legions.]
[You carefully selected some instructors.]
[The selection method was to eavesdrop on their inner thoughts to see who was genuinely willing to submit.]
[Though they couldn't cultivate, with proper nutrition and a certain intensity of training, these humans from poor farming and mining slave backgrounds quickly improved their physical fitness.]
[All that was missing was Myriad Treasures Child Goddess's magical artifact, and they'd be able to contend with cultivators.]
[Unlike the Void Realm, the gap between low-grade cultivators and mortals in the Real Realm wasn't that big.]
[This was something you'd already learned through the Rebel Army's battles in the previous simulation.]
[That same year, the Xuanlan Big Brother arrived at Fortune Star.]
["I, I can't fly anymore. My, my Divine Sense is gone too. Spirit Crystals, Spirit Crystals have turned into ordinary stones! Hahaha!! Wonderful! Absolutely wonderful!!!"]
[The Xuanlan Big Brother flapped his wings, soared into the sky, and embraced the blue sky and white clouds.]
["The Real Realm!! This really is the Real Realm!! That path really was the Path to Immortality!!"]
[The Xuanlan Big Brother's excitement suddenly dimmed, as if he'd thought of something heartbreaking.]
["Just think, my Five Talented Brothers of Xuanlan went through immense hardships to finally obtain the 'Realm Breaker,' only to have it destroyed by that bastard Chen Yi! I thought we'd never have hope of entering the Real Realm in this lifetime and would have to be that bastard's dogs! Never expected, never expected... he actually ended up doing us a favor! Truly, 'breaking iron shoes in the search, yet finding it with no effort—'"]
[Turning his head, the Xuanlan Big Brother saw you already waiting in the sky.]
["Finding what?"]
