One Trait Draw Per Year — Even Simulations Count? — Chapter 495 read online

【Relying on the Winged Ancestor's teachings and the domineering power of the Mother-Child Soul-Locking Seal, the Winged Army led by Sotuofeiren and the Four Talented Brothers gradually expanded across Lingwei Star.】

【The Winged God Church was now leaderless. Moreover, the lofty Winged God had previously appeared in such a pathetic state, like a stray dog fleeing from its ruined home, that the shock had been simply too overwhelming.】

【Year Seventeen, age forty-three.】

【By coincidence, the Winged Ancestor Church arrived at precisely this moment. The five people responsible for spreading its teachings came from the legendary Void Realm. They were Ascenders with limitless potential, and they inadvertently filled the people of Lingwei Star's longing for a god.】

【Furthermore, as time passed, they suddenly discovered something.】

【Compared with the ethereal, and even downright empty-headed, so-called Winged God defined by divine personality and divine office...】

【The Winged Ancestor truly existed, and was in fact the ancestor of the Winged Clan. This being seemed far more worthy of worship.】

【Because of the appearance of Sotuofeiren and the others, along with the Winged Army, a debate between worshiping gods and worshiping ancestors was now being waged across Lingwei Star.】

【Both sides called the other heretics and insisted that they had to be burned alive.】

【The Winged Army took advantage of the chaos to expand, gaining enough combat power to contend with the Winged God Church.】

【That same year, millions of members of the Rebel Army officially arrived.】

【You did not waste a single word and immediately issued the order to divide the forces into two routes.】

【One route consisted of elite troops who would attack the Winged God Church's principal cities directly, crushing the remaining main forces of resistance.】

【The other route would sweep through second- and third-line cities, local villages, and towns, rescuing the oppressed and enslaved humans. In the process, they would recruit more personnel and strengthen their control over the local regions.】

【In this way...】

【One route would assault and seize fortified strongholds, while the other would encircle the cities from the countryside.】

【You grabbed both ends, and you handled both with an iron grip!】

【Year Eighteen, age forty-four.】

【Lingwei Star had fallen into complete chaos.】

【The Winged God Church was leaderless internally and had descended into total disorder.】

【The Winged Ancestor Church, which no one knew where had come from, was gradually replacing the Winged God in the hearts of Lingwei Star's people and becoming the orthodox faith. The two churches attacked each other from time to time, with both physical attacks and verbal attacks.】

【The most serious problem was still the human uprising. The human Rebel Army was rapidly devouring the Winged God Church's territory, driving out the Alien Races in various regions and restoring the order of human rule.】

【Ordinary mortals still made up the majority of the Rebel Army.】

【When facing armies of cultivators from a Second-tier Star, they were sometimes willing but powerless, even with excellent equipment.】

【However, under your minute control and careful maneuvering, you had Sotuofeiren lead the Winged Army in taking on the cultivator battles with the heaviest casualties.】

【Most of the enemy forces faced by the Rebel Army were still Low-Grade cultivators and mortal soldiers.】

【Even so, the Rebel Army's casualty rate was still far from low.】

【For humanity to rise again in this stellar system, these sacrifices were unavoidable, and they were necessary as well.】

【In truth, you had not followed your original plan of completely ignoring the Rebel Army's war and allowing them to undergo the tempering of blood.】

【During the early stages of the war, you still helped them many times, preventing a great number of casualties.】

【But later, that was no longer possible.】

【As the war spread across a wider area, the front lines lengthened and the number of battlefields increased. You were unable to be everywhere at once, and even your few doppelgangers could not do much.】

【Moreover, the Winged God Church realized that it was impossible for them to resolve the three major problems they were facing through their own strength: the disappearance of the Winged God, the Winged Ancestor's teachings, and the human uprising.】

【They needed a powerful external force to suppress the people who had caused these problems.】

【Thus, the Winged God Church called for reinforcements.】

【There were powerful forces in the nearby stellar systems as well, and they usually maintained contact with the Winged God Church.】

【After agreeing to cede some planets and resources, the Winged God Church summoned quite a few High-Grade cultivators from the Extreme Terrain Realm and the Transcendent Realm when it was on the verge of collapse.】

【However, none of these reinforcements managed to successfully descend onto Lingwei Star.】

【Because you had blocked the way in.】

【The Star Harbor was like a lighthouse. As long as the Star Harbor remained lit, anyone traveling along the Channel would naturally approach it, regardless of whether the Star Ship they were traveling in needed the Star Harbor in order to land.】

【You simply squatted above the Star Harbor's beam of light, blocking the essential route from outer space into Lingwei Star.】

【Of course, you did not currently possess the strength to cross the universe with your physical body, but Black Wind could.】

【While in the human world, Black Wind had eaten a pile of dragon pearls that you brought him. He had already evolved to a state close to the one he possessed during the sixth simulation, when you encountered him on Blazing Star.】

【While war raged across Lingwei Star, you rode Black Wind every day, patrolling outer space above the peak of the Star Harbor's beam of light and waiting for the Winged God Church's reinforcements to deliver themselves into your hands.】

【To prevent yourself from accidentally killing innocent people, you transformed into the appearance of a member of the Winged Clan.】

【Whenever a Star Ship approached, the following conversation would usually take place.】

【You: "Stop! Who are you people? The Winged God Church is currently beset by internal and external troubles, and Lingwei Star is engulfed in war. Suspicious individuals are absolutely forbidden from landing!"】

【The other party: "We are merchants passing through..."】

【You: "Pay the toll! Take another route!"】

【The other party: "But I haven't even gone down. Why are you charging me too?"】

【You: "Light... Speed... Fist..."】

【The other party: "Here."】

【After leaving behind a large pile of Source Stones, these passing travelers were allowed to leave.】

【The other situation was not so simple.】

【The other party: "We are not suspicious individuals. I received a message from your First Army Commander. I have brought several of my staff members to support the battle situation on Lingwei Star!"】

【You: "So you're reinforcements! That's wonderful!"】

【The other party: "Your situation seems to be terrible. Quickly lead us there so we can purge those damned human rebels!"】

【You: "Light Speed Fist!!!"】

【There were two Transcendent Realm cultivators and six Extreme Terrain Realm cultivators on the other side. With a single punch, you blasted their Star Ship into complete scrap.】

【After that, you did not need to do anything else.】

【They could not survive in the environment of outer space, and before long, they became nothing more than a pile of space debris.】

【And so...】

【The Winged God Church lost its final hope.】

【Year Nineteen, age forty-five.】

【You were basically certain of one thing.】

【That fellow Dalabeng had either already fled Lingwei Star or had hidden himself completely and refused to show his face, even though the Winged God Church was on the verge of destruction.】

【The Winged God Church seemed to have reached the same conclusion.】

【They had now selected a new Winged God, a powerful cultivator in the Late Stage of Core Formation!】

【You could not blame them. The Winged God Church could no longer find anyone in the Extreme Terrain Realm.】

【Even if there were such people, they would not dare show themselves.】

【The moment they revealed their heads, you would instantly kill them.】

【The Winged God Church's defeat could no longer be stopped.】

【Part of their territory had been replaced by the Winged Ancestor Church, while another part had been occupied by the Rebel Army.】

【Lingwei Star was now divided among three powers.】

【Two of those three powers belonged to you.】

【The outcome was obvious.】
