64: Section 64

Rumors disadvantageous to you began to circulate among the populace.

This change caused the power within you to shrink by more than half, as if protesting against you.

You vaguely felt that if this continued, this power would leave you forever.

Xiao Huang, on the other hand, came up with a plan. She began to search for pregnant women among the populace, then disguised herself as a pregnant woman. After the pregnant woman gave birth, she would claim the child was her own Dragon son.

You did not object when you heard Xiao Huang wanted to do this.

Instead, you began to cooperate with Xiao Huang to put on this grand show.

You also informed Ayna of this matter, but Ayna was unwilling to cooperate. In her eyes, you, who were infertile, were like a lone wolf driven out by a pack of wolves on the prairie.

No matter how fierce your appearance, you were still utterly downtrodden.

You felt a bit helpless about Ayna's attitude. If this was the case, it meant she would not help you win the Khan's throne at all.

Since that was the case, all high-ranking Huns had to die.

So you continuously recruited capable and extraordinary individuals from the populace, then bestowed upon them calligraphic scrolls, sending them to the three ceded provinces to assassinate the Hun nobles.

With the help of your calligraphic scrolls, these people had no fear of the shamans, and the assassination work proceeded extremely smoothly.

Ultimately, the Huns fell into great chaos internally, and you took the opportunity to send troops to reclaim the three ceded provinces.

Leaderless, the Huns were driven back to their homeland within half a year.

This incident was heavily recorded by historians to praise your Karma.

However, due to the excessive slaughter caused, the power within you gradually became undetectable.

It was as if it had never appeared in your body.

You were somewhat sad.

But thinking that it brought about the long-term peace and stability of Great Zhou, you felt that this transaction was well worth it!

On the other side, the pregnant women secretly found by Xiao Huang had also given birth. She selected two male infants from them to be your Imperial Princes, and publicly claimed that she had given birth to a pair of twins at once.

Although some were puzzled, the congratulatory voices drowned out all doubts.

The birth of an Imperial Prince meant that the country could be stably passed down through Legacy.

Your throne was only now truly stable!

And just as everything was developing in a positive direction, Xiao Zhan appeared from who knows where, leading a group of assassination masters to infiltrate the Imperial Palace.

You died!

Chapter 73: Settlement, Final Reward of the Simulation, A Great Harvest!

You were assassinated by Xiao Zhan, the former Great General of the previous dynasty.

...

This!

Su Mo was startled, seeing himself die like that in the simulation.

Tsk, tsk, tsk.

He thought he could simulate for a few more decades.

He didn't expect to die so quickly.

But so be it.

Referring to the outcomes of previous simulations.

This love affair life seemed to never give him a natural death.

Everything came so suddenly.

However, even after he died in the simulation, he could still see a segment of the subsequent evolution.

Su Mo then continued to look at the screen.

After your death, Xiao Zhan and his group were also caught and executed by slow slicing.

At the same time, there was an uproar in the court and throughout the land.

No one expected that you would die so carelessly.

However, you left behind two Imperial Princes before your death, which made everyone feel that Great Zhou still had hope.

Xiao Huang was heartbroken, but for the foundation you had laid, she did not follow you. Instead, she chose to raise those two infants and then select a suitable candidate from them to be the Emperor.

From then on, she ruled from behind a curtain, becoming a legendary Empress Dowager...

...

As the screen froze, the settlement of love affair life appeared before Su Mo.

You were born into the royal family, but from a young age, you had no interest in the throne. Instead, you were solely devoted to studying and reading about all things in the world.

Your mother invited many teachers to teach you various skills, but your favorite was reading.

You vaguely felt a power budding within you, but you didn't know what kind of power it was.

Your peaceful life did not last long. The Xiao Clan Royal Family of the former dynasty successfully restored their rule, and you, along with thirty-two other Imperial Princes, were placed under house arrest.

You did not feel bored with such a life; instead, you enjoyed the leisure.

After your Imperial Father died, Empress Xiao Huang wanted to choose one of you, the Imperial Princes, to be the new King Qi. You refused, and by a stroke of luck, you dodged a fatal calamity.

Hidden hint: You dodged a fatal calamity, and your final evaluation improved.

...

Empress Xiao Huang was very wary of you. To legitimately get rid of you, she transferred you to Gulan County, where thirteen County Magistrates had died in ten years, to serve as the County Magistrate.

On the way to Gulan County, you were targeted by various Demons and monsters thirty-seven times, but you successfully dodged fatal calamities by relying on the Haoran Righteousness within your body.

Hidden hint: You experienced thirty-seven Heaven-Defying changes here, and your evaluation significantly increased.

...

When he saw the evolution here, Su Mo was a little surprised.

What?

Just on the road to Gulan County, Demons targeted him thirty-seven times!

Goodness.

If he hadn't drawn this Haoran Righteousness when drawing talents, the simulation would probably have ended then...

Tsk, tsk, tsk.

Indeed.

A person's birth status and talent are the chips that determine their ultimate fate in this life.

It's like when a coin is tossed, the result of heads or tails is already determined.

The moment a person is born, their life's fate is also like this...

...

However, what Su Mo looked forward to more was the final evaluation. He had changed his fate so many times against the heavens; he wondered what kind of reward he would receive.

At the same time, seeing this evolution, Su Mo became even more certain of one thing.

He must never leave the city casually.

Who knew what kind of Demons and monsters he would encounter outside the city.

On the screen, the settlement continued...

You successfully established yourself in Gulan County through special investigation techniques, and by chance, you developed the use of the Haoran Righteousness within your body.

Relying on Haoran Righteousness, you subdued the female Demon Yu Luoniang and the Five Ghosts of Yin Mountain.

In Gulan County, you spent a period of depravity, and the Haoran Righteousness within you once wanted to leave you.

When Empress Xiao Huang came to inspect, you used Yu Luoniang's potion to successfully make the Empress fall in love with you.

However, Xiao Huang was not a love-struck fool. On the way back, she once wanted to kill you to eliminate future troubles, but because you were the first man to enter her heart, she couldn't bring herself to do it.

After returning to the capital, Xiao Huang successfully suppressed a group of royal clansmen who wanted to rebel. Her handling of you kept her in a dilemma.

You relied on touching Xiao Huang's wicked trick to make her fall into desire, changing the ultimate fate of the Xiao Clan Royal Family and also changing the national fortune of Great Zhou.

Hidden hint: You Heaven-Defyingly changed the fate of countless people, and your final evaluation improved.

After your relationship with Xiao Huang was discovered by the royal clan, you were sent to the Huns for a marriage alliance under Xiao Huang's deliberate arrangement.

Upon arriving at the Huns, you gained the trust of the Khan of the Huns and received military support from the Huns.

The Hun Great Shaman Priest Wuchixie was injured by your calligraphic scroll, and his life spirit also left him. From then on, he focused on seclusion to heal his injuries and never reappeared, indirectly leading to the Khan of the Huns' change in attitude towards you.

You led the army, proclaiming to uphold Heaven's will and quell rebellion, and gained the support of countless people.

Ultimately, you Heaven-Defyingly succeeded in becoming the Emperor of Great Zhou.

Yu Luoniang, acting on your orders, engaged in reckless slaughter, and her Magical Artifact was eventually destroyed, causing her death because of you.

Your Haoran Righteousness left you due to your slaughter.

Xiao Zhan had been preparing in secret for a long time. He knew that there was a female Demon by your side and had deliberately endured without acting.

Upon learning of Yu Luoniang's death, Xiao Zhan and his loyalists infiltrated the Imperial Palace and assassinated you.

You lived for a total of twenty-seven years.

Originally, your highest achievement would have been merely a leisurely prince, but you ultimately Heaven-Defyingly became the Emperor of Great Zhou. In this life, you had two confidantes, enjoyed pleasures that ordinary people could not, and experienced a legendary and tumultuous life.

Evaluation: Half Karma, half demerit.

...

Looking at the final evaluation, Su Mo's heart sank. He didn't know what this evaluation meant.

Does it mean that merits and demerits cancel each other out, and he won't receive any rewards?

One must know, this was his most Heaven-Defying simulation yet.

Looking at the reward interface that had not yet appeared, Su Mo felt a little uneasy.

After waiting for a while, the settlement interface finally began to move.

In this simulation, you obtained the talent "Haoran Righteousness"!

Because you have undergone multiple Heaven-Defying changes, this Haoran Righteousness will never leave you.

"Gulp..."

Su Mo couldn't help but swallow. Haoran Righteousness that would never leave him?

Then he wouldn't need to fear Demons!

Before Su Mo could examine it closely, the remaining rewards appeared one after another.

Because this evaluation was too high, you received the hidden reward "Identity Card"!

Identity Card: Use after simulation to obtain ten random identities. You can choose one of these ten identities as your starting point!

Because this evaluation was too high, you received the hidden reward "Talent Card"!

Talent: Use after simulation to obtain ten random talents. You can choose one of these ten talents as your starting point!

Congratulations, you have gained one opportunity to designate a real-life love affair character, allowing you to choose a real-life female to accompany you through one simulated life.

...

All rewards have been issued. We wish you a pleasant life!

...

As all four rewards appeared, Su Mo found two cards in his hand, then recovered from his shock.

Goodness.

He had received four rewards at once; this was the first time he had gotten so many!

The opportunity to designate a real-life love affair character goes without saying.
