[Wasteland survival simulator in progress.]

A few months after returning to Leopard Court, Qin Che began his 17th simulation.

He found the Kuroshio substance and has already initiated a project at the research institute, but no one knows what the future holds.

Fortunately, Qin Che had a simulator.

He immersed his consciousness in the simulated world and began the cycle of reincarnation.

Having learned from his previous experience, Qin Che remembered several key periods and key moments.

For example, Jiang Yuejian's ascension to the extraordinary realm in 3 years, the breakthrough achievement of the first phase of genetic engineering in 12 years, the Pope's emergence from seclusion in 24 years, and the defeat in the Central Plains War in 26 years...

Now that the Leopard Court is at odds with the World Merchants Association, will the Pope leave the country early because of this?

Thinking about it, the possibility is probably not high.

The Pope left the pass to defend against the Iron Beast Clan, who had won a series of victories and conquered the area south of the Yellow River. The Pope had no choice but to come out.

It's a minor matter; the Pope probably won't care, he won't even ask.

Even after they left the pass, all they did was negotiate peace and resort to military coercion.

It would be detrimental to the overall war effort and offer no benefit whatsoever; it's impossible...

This is the 17th simulation, so all timelines need to be pushed back one year.

The first year, cultivation.

The following year, Jiang Yuejian indeed advanced to the extraordinary level, and Qin Che immediately set about marrying her.

Last time, they did not have a child of the Holy Spirit.

But this time, things might be different.

Qin Che decided to repeat this choice in the next two simulations. If he could truly give birth to a child of the Holy Spirit in the cycle of reincarnation, he would make the most of it.

Psionic technology must be developed!

Once the cycle ends, the technology chain will be brought back to the real world to accelerate its progress.

Even if it's a forced upgrade, it can save Qin Che a lot of time.

In the following years, Qin Che focused on cultivation, and Leopard Court expanded rapidly with continuous construction. After the desert people and the South China Sea people merged, intermarriage and blood fusion became more common.

The population will expand rapidly over the next twenty years.

This is because both parties had signed and arranged a population expansion plan long before the cycle of reincarnation.

In the twelfth year, Zhou Qing's genetic engineering project successfully completed its first phase.

He assembled a group of super-gene warriors, about fifty in number, who were both highly capable in combat and resilient.

They also began researching the second phase of the project to create various super-genetic military units.

Land, sea, and air forces, as well as field and special forces...

Unfortunately, during these ten years, there were no signs of the Holy Spirit's awakening; he remained merely an ordinary person.

For the next ten years or so, Qin Che continued his cultivation.

He needs more depth and experience.

In the twenty-fourth year, the Iron Beast Clan marched south, winning battle after battle, while the Mechanical Clan suffered repeated defeats. In this critical situation, the Pope emerged from seclusion and single-handedly broke through the Iron Beast Clan's defenses, which stretched for over a thousand kilometers. Along the Yellow River, he slaughtered them, leaving no survivors.

The Iron Beasts were defeated, and the Machine Race launched a full-scale counterattack.

Within a few years, the mechanical race regained its lost territory and regained its advantage.

Is this the power of a Master...?

In that year, Qin Che traveled to Zhongzhou and witnessed the Archbishop Emperor's rampage across the Yellow River basin.

Very powerful.

The Iron Beasts' power armor and high-tech weapons were like paper in front of the Pope, easily crushed.

Their psionicists fared even worse; they couldn't muster a single ounce of power and were crushed to dust by the Pope, leaving no trace of their bodies.

Even Qin Che couldn't do that.

He has no rare traits, while the Pope has two rare traits: 'Forbidden Land' and 'Withered'.

With the withering buff stacking up, carbon-based humans simply cannot survive.

Mortals and low-level psionicists are nothing but ants...

Qin Che made a choice. In this life, he did not steal the particle warehouse of the Mechanicus again and decided to try a different approach.

Leopard Court extended an olive branch to the Mechanicus in his name.

The two sides intend to join forces.

In the years before and after the Pope's return from seclusion, the Leopard Court and the Machine Race got along quite well, but deeper cooperation was rare.

The technology was not shared; both sides simply focused on strengthening trade relations.

The two special zones, the Desert and the Garden, provided the front lines with various supplies, including food, weapons, and medicine.

Leopard Court even dispatched its first batch of super-gene warriors to the battlefield, where they performed outstandingly on the mortal battlefield, often even annihilating psionic units that were far superior to them.

The strength of Leopard Court is beginning to emerge.

The machine race began to covet the genetic engineering technology of the Leopard Court.

Possessing a treasure is a crime.

Qin Che had been betrayed by the Mechanic Cult quite a few times in previous simulations.

Especially when they joined forces, the Mechanicus actually chose to ally with the Iron Beasts after losing the war.

However, the mastermind was not the Pope, but a bigwig in the sweeping army system, who was the powerful prime minister of the Central Continent Empire back then.

He gained longevity due to mechanical particles.

It has existed to this day.

Furthermore, he holds great power within the Mechanicus, the Central Plains, and the Sweeping Army system.

He is also the war investor behind the Mechanicus, much like the World Merchants Association.

However, the sweeping army directly participated in the war. They were very strong and had neural modification technology inherited from the Central Continent Empire. They were particularly outstanding in intelligence.

That powerful minister has now become the Pope's right-hand man.

Provide intelligence support for the war effort on the front lines.

In the following years, Leopard Court and the Mechanicus cooperated with each other, but there were also frictions between them.

In the twenty-sixth year, the Central Plains War ended in defeat.

The powerful minister of the sweeping army began to consider his own future.

The Iron Beast Clan seized the opportunity presented by the various false intelligence reports and their inaction and lack of effort.

They launched a major counter-offensive.

Although the Pope was the ruler and had a strong foundation, he felt powerless against the massive army stretching for hundreds of kilometers that was pressing in.
