161: The present anchor point, the simulation restarts

The Blood Demon Hand tore through the void, expanding to ten thousand feet.

Then, with unparalleled power, it instantly enveloped the entire excavator.

"So you're learning to self-destruct from me, huh? No wonder you're both named Eastern Abyss," Meng Yun murmured, a hint of the sharp rule-force aura subtly emanating from him.

He completely cut off and discarded the excavator's fuel tank.

Without its power source, how could it self-destruct now?

Indeed, this Dharma Idol was clearly a realist; with its fuel tank removed, it instantly sputtered out.

In reality, it was not so.

The Dharma Idol was no longer complete with a missing piece, and coupled with Eastern Abyss's unfamiliarity with the power of rules, he temporarily lost control, allowing Meng Yun to directly capture it.

The Five Elements' power quietly circulated, and the rule-force, originating from the same source, directly decomposed the excavator into its most basic particles, returning them to the heavens and earth.

By disassembling his excavator, Meng Yun only discovered the powers of earth and wood. It was then that he realized that the Five Elements' power could not be fully mastered by anyone.

Even someone as strong as Eastern Abyss had only barely managed to grasp two of them!

With another casual flick, Saint Xuanji's Dharma Idol spiritual crane, amplified tenfold, was also slapped back by him.

Meng Yun retracted his hand, looking at the faintly shimmering five-colored light in his palm, and quickly withdrew it back into his body.

It was best that Eastern Abyss did not know that he had comprehended all five elemental powers without any effort!

The monstrous malevolent thought flashed and receded.

Now it was Saint Xuanji's turn to be shocked.

Such malevolent thoughts, even stronger than Saint Wuji's, could be controlled at will?

One must know that even Saint Wuji, who was at the mid-stage of the Great Ascension, dared not claim to maintain a clear mind and remain uncorrupted after fully operating this cultivation method!

But looking at Meng Yun's body, which had returned to its normal state, he was indeed completely unaffected by negative influences!

Truly bizarre!

"Why are you looking at me? Do I have flowers on my face?" Meng Yun stood up and walked out of the great array.

Yu Jingshen was the first to react, following closely behind: "Brother Meng, wait for me, Brother Meng!"

"Oh? You're not calling me Brother Meng anymore?" Meng Yun said with a half-smile.

"That's impossible!" Yu Jingshen chuckled, not explaining much, everything was unspoken.

He had tricked Meng Yun, and Meng Yun had retaliated, even extorting a considerable sum in spirit stone compensation. The two could be considered to have become acquainted through conflict.

Human relationships, some are pure friendships like with Nangong Jing, while others, like with Eastern Abyss and Yu Jingshen, are a mix of trickery and mutual benefit.

"Young Master Meng! Wait for me!" Saint Xuanji lifted her skirt and hastily followed.

Oh, right, and of course, there's the pure master-and-pet relationship like with Saint Xuanji.

No matter what kind of relationship, as long as it's unbreakable, it's a good relationship.

The 654 Bureau...

It was ultimately not a good place.

Hopefully, they won't let their desires fester and continue to act recklessly...

Meng Yun's eyes flickered with obscure and unreadable light, countless thoughts surging in his mind.

Having gone through several simulations, he was no longer as naive as when he first started, believing the world was black and white, or that official organizations were absolutely solid.

Where there is light, there is darkness.

The stronger the light, the deeper the shadow.

With their thoughts varying, they successively stepped out of this historical fault, returning to the present world from the Truth Gate.

This ruined world seemed to return to silence.

However, there was still an unsolved mystery.

Who exactly set up this so-called God Slaughtering Array Secret?

Inside the inner array of the God Slaughtering Array Secret, the scenes from the future timeline kept flashing back, eventually turning into a chaotic blur.

But.

Before completely falling into silence, a complete Demon Seed's head, bearing a strange smile, gazed at this place for a moment in the long river of time.

In a fleeting glimpse, it left a coordinate anchor point.

"Meng Yun..."

"I found you..."

...

"Strange, what was that feeling?"

Meng Yun stepped out of the Truth Gate, his scalp tingling at the back of his head, only for the sensation to disappear in an instant.

"What feeling?"

Meng Yun did not answer, simply continued to walk away.

With matters here concluded, Yu Jingshen also had to fulfill his promises to the Wei and Lin families.

Having gained insight from the lower part of the God Slaughtering Array Secret, his strength had improved again; creating a Spirit Gathering Array that could increase cultivation speed by fifty times was now effortless for him.

"Brother Meng, once my array is complete, they should no longer hold you accountable for killing Lin Xiao," Yu Jingshen patted Meng Yun's shoulder.

"Let's hope so," Meng Yun said noncommittally.

If written contracts could be casually torn up, let alone mere verbal promises?

Bidding farewell to everyone, Meng Yun flashed and directly left the 654 Bureau, disappearing from sight.

He involuntarily returned to Xu Yuan's rented apartment, looking at the dilapidated house, Meng Yun was momentarily annoyed.

Damn it.

Before killing Lin Xiao, he should have made him fix the house!

Or perhaps, just have the civil engineer Eastern Abyss come over?

"Forget it, I'll try it myself."

Meng Yun stood at the doorway, casually activating Alchemy, and at the same time, using the Five Elements' rule-force, he collected the scattered debris and reassembled them.

This operation was even more skilled than that of an ordinary bricklayer!

Before long, the apartment was completely repaired by Meng Yun.

"Alright, with matters here concluded, I should simulate again."

Meng Yun stepped towards the second floor.

He had a vague premonition that his current self was about to face a great crisis.

Was it the Lin family targeting him?

Or some kind of heaven and earth anomaly?

Meng Yun did not know.

In any case, restarting the simulation to improve his strength was definitely the right choice.

Lying on the bed, Meng Yun summoned the system panel:

"Bro System, start another simulation for me!"

[Host's anchor point locked – White Tiger Heaven]

[Randomly drawing host's acquired rewards. Please select one of the following two rewards to bring into the simulation world]

[Reward One: demon suppression stone]

[Reward Two: Last simulation's peak strength, Transformation Spirit Peak, and Seven-Colored Tribulation Lightning Dragon]

Meng Yun: "...This is a tough choice."

Considering the initial difficulty, the Transformation Spirit Peak strength would undoubtedly be more beneficial for Meng Yun's early development.

But...

In a cultivation world where Great Ascension was the pinnacle, the Demon Seed might have already reached the Half-step Immortal Emperor level.

If he possessed the demon suppression stone, Meng Yun would have the confidence to eliminate an Immortal Emperor-level expert the moment he stepped into the early Great Ascension stage!

"Then I'll choose this."

Meng Yun quickly made his choice and confirmed it with the system.

[Generating entries for the host. Please select any three from the following five entries.]

[Inch by Inch (Red): At 0:00 daily, gain 1% progress in your current realm's strength. Even without cultivating, you will advance one realm every hundred days. Effect lasts until Tribulation Peak.]

Meng Yun: "6."

This entry, once this simulation was over, his current self definitely had to get it!

A must-have!

"Bro System, no matter how you do it, this entry must appear as a reward in my Crazy Thursday Deluxe Meal."

[...Perhaps you should look at the entries below first?]

Meng Yun: "?"

Could it be... there's an even better one?
