25: Section 25

“You have a premonition.”

“That is, your good days are numbered.”

“Every day, Daji either meditated or observed the changes in the nine bronze tripods.”

“The Taotie pattern (taotie patterns) on them became increasingly lifelike, almost ready to leap forth.”

“This was her transaction with Zhu Jiuyin.”

“To help Zhu Jiuyin convert this national destiny into a special energy for it to consume.”

“You gradually began to neglect court affairs, entrusting all state matters to Fei Zhong and You Hun to manage, while you spent your days either accompanying Daji or indulging in the Wine Pool and Meat Forest.”

“Some royal clan members once tried to persuade you, but you merely instructed Fei Zhong and You Hun to deal with them, not to disturb your enjoyment and pleasure.”

“Your change was noticed by Daji.”

“She sought you out.”

“Her gaze upon you was complex and difficult to decipher, seemingly full of love, yet cold as ice.”

“You, just leave. Go to the Qiang people.”

“You don’t have to die with me.”

“And don’t forget, you are always my slave. Whatever I tell you to do, you must do.”

“Seeing Daji speak like this, your eyes turned cold.”

“What if I refuse?”

“You wanted to step forward and embrace Daji, but the power before her held you back firmly, and you once again felt a deliberate estrangement.”

“Daji turned away, no longer letting you see her eyes.”

“You’re so foolish.”

“Foolish slave, this consort has never loved you.”

“You’re just being sentimental here.”

“You gritted your teeth, an indescribable anger filling your chest.”

“It’s like this again.”

“Daji’s words were like a heavy hammer, striking hard at your heart.”

“Only this time, you wouldn’t be obedient.”

“After leaving Daji’s palace, you resumed attending court.”

“All the ministers were very surprised, not quite understanding what had stimulated you.”

“The feudal lords had already gathered large armies and rebelled. The rebel army was only three cities away from Chaoge City. Under the leadership of Fei Zhong and You Hun, this news had been suppressed, and they had not intended to tell you.”

“Now, seeing you suddenly attend court, they thought you already knew about it, so they spilled everything like beans from a bamboo tube.”

“After listening to everyone’s reports, you didn’t expect things to be so serious. If this continued, it wouldn’t be long before Chaoge City would be breached by the rebel army.”

“Connecting this to the nine tripods containing the national destiny, you realized that your time was running out, and you wanted to take Daji away from Chaoge.”

“So you issued an order to resist the rebel army’s attack at all costs.”

“Then you hurried back to Daji’s residence.”

“But upon arriving at the main hall, you found that Daji had already disappeared, along with the Taotie pattern (taotie patterns) on the nine tripods.”

“Suddenly, you felt a sense of betrayal in your heart.”

“That is, Daji was clearly leaving, but she didn’t tell you, and you felt an unusual anger.”

“You didn’t know how to vent, so you unleashed all your anger on King of Shang, Di Xin.”

“Di Xin, died.”

……

In the image.

Di Xin’s corpse was pounded into a pulp.

Looking at the scene before him, Su Mo couldn’t help but click his tongue twice.

His simulated self this time.

Seemed a bit too brutal.

He definitely couldn’t do that himself.

……

“You sat idly in the main hall, waiting for a long time, but Daji never returned.”

“And at some unknown point, sounds of fighting suddenly came from outside the hall.”

“The palace maids screamed, seeking possible refuge.”

“You walked out and found that the royal palace had already been overrun, with rebel soldiers in uniform everywhere.”

“Upon seeing you, the rebels rushed forward, wanting to capture you, the Shang King, for a reward.”

“But after all, you were born with Ox-Like Strength.”

“After snatching a soldier’s long ge, you fought your way all the way to Lu Terrace.”

“Lu Terrace was empty at this moment.”

“The once majestic throne, in your eyes, seemed to be mocking you, unable to even keep your beloved.”

“You angrily knocked over the Ever-Burning Palace Lamp, and Lu Terrace began to catch fire.”

“At the same time, a sudden gust of wind swept across the ground. The originally small fire was intensified by this strong wind, and the flames instantly became monstrous. Everything in Lu Terrace was consumed by the great fire.”

“You sat alone on the throne, calmly watching all of this.”

“Tongues of fire began to lick your body, and pain surged like a tide.”

“But at this moment, you straightened your back.”

“As the Shang King, even a fake Shang King, you could not be captured and humiliated by the enemy.”

“In the last second before being engulfed by the flames, you were still thinking about where Daji had gone.”

“However.”

“It’s good that she’s safe.”

“It’s good that she’s safe!”

Chapter 31: Settlement, Unexpected Reward for Final Evaluation

“You immolated yourself at Lu Terrace.”

“After your death, Daji rushed over, and seeing you burned to charcoal, her heart was twisted with pain.”

“She blamed you for not being able to wait for her a little longer.”

“Daji immolated herself with you in this Lu Terrace.”

“Daji’s love for you was uncontrollable, but due to various misunderstandings, the ending was tragic.”

“System begins evaluation.”

“You were born into a slave family, and your life was full of hardships and dangers.”

“Influenced by the Shang people, you became obsessed with divination and sacrificing to ghosts and gods, which led you to be unable to proceed with certainty in all matters.”

“You escaped from the pit of ten thousand sacrifices, changing your destined death, and at the same time causing Shang Dynasty’s sacrifice to fail, angering an ancient ghost god, leading to the decline of Shang Dynasty’s national destiny.”

“This narrow escape from death completely changed your fate, and your luck began to improve.”

“You saved Consort Su Daji, the daughter of Marquis Su Hu of Ji Province, changing Consort Su Daji’s fate of death. From then on, your destinies were tightly intertwined.”

“Daji fell in love with you from the first moment she saw you. When she saw you escape, she did not stop you, but instead wanted to wait until she grew up to find you herself.”

“You taught the Qiang people the technology of bronze smelting, and bronze brought about a huge change in the Qiang people’s civilization process.”

“The Qiang people’s lives began to become more and more convenient, and even after you were captured, many Qiang people still missed you.”

“With Daji’s help, you completed the transformation from a slave to the Shang King. This transformation was unprecedented, a world-shaking feat!”

“You forcibly possessed Daji, which directly caused Daji’s Witch Power to become chaotic, preventing many powerful witch spells from functioning, and you lost many opportunities to change your fate.”

“Your deeds of sacrificing Bi Gan, the Shang King’s uncle, and the Marquis of the West and his son, left an indelible mark in the hearts of the Shang people.”

“The Shang people developed a strong faith in you, second only to the reverence for ghosts and gods.”

“You were targeted by Xuan Rong; he constantly wanted to kill you.”

“You killed King of Shang, Di Xin, who was undergoing apotheosis, causing Shang Dynasty’s national destiny to completely collapse, and Shang Dynasty was no longer protected by ghosts and gods.”

“You knocked over the Ever-Burning Palace Lamp at Lu Terrace, and Xuan Rong seized the opportunity to amplify the fire, leading to your eventual self-immolation at Lu Terrace.”

“You did not see Daji before your death, which was the regret of your life.”

“You lived for a total of twenty-one years, leading a short but legendary life.”

“Although you had a humble background, it was as if you were favored by fate, becoming someone you could never have been.”

“Evaluation: A legendary life.”

……

Watching this simulation end, Su Mo let out a long sigh.

Just as he was about to close the simulation and rest, the simulation’s settlement page did not close.

“Because of your extremely high evaluation this time, love affair life is issuing a certain reward.”

“You have obtained the “Ox-Like Strength” talent.”

“Ox-Like Strength: You are naturally born with the strength of an ox.”

“You have gained one opportunity to designate a love interest character, allowing you to designate a real-life woman to accompany you through a simulated life.”

Su Mo was extremely surprised to see the subsequent settlement.

His Golden Finger.

Finally, it wasn’t just for show!

However, before he could react, streams of warmth surged through his body like rapidly moving ants.

The density of his bones and muscles continuously increased, and his internal organs, Qi, and blood also continuously strengthened.

The enhancement from gaining Ox-Like Strength was all-encompassing.

Su Mo felt that even his mind had become much clearer, and some things he couldn’t understand before now made sense.

Looking at his changes, Su Mo murmured to himself.

“This is probably the essence returning to the brain.”

“Now, I can even remember things from my childhood.”

“I even remembered the names of some elementary school classmates I had forgotten.”

“The Ox-Like Strength talent is truly terrifying.”

After speaking, Su Mo looked up at his small room. It was still dark outside, but the room’s decorations were clearly visible.

The Texture (texture) on the wooden table was as clear as if seen through a magnifying glass.

Feeling the strength within his body.

Su Mo felt that with a slight movement, he could collapse the bed.

Hiss!

This is comfortable now!

Even if he left this Generals Residence in the future, with this strength, he wouldn’t have to fear starving to death.

Moreover, in future simulations, if he received good evaluations, his strength would become increasingly powerful.

Eventually.
