You take a deep breath, pull out your recording equipment, and spend ten years having sex with them.

[And memorize the inner essence of each of them, so that later you can use a minor supernatural power to transform your arm into the corresponding cup, and while playing the video, change the cup to the inner essence of the corresponding person.]

"Pouring the mold...pouring the mold with your own hands..."

"It seems that Rehmannia glutinosa did the same thing in previous simulations."

"But this is indeed self-fertilization, isn't it?"

[In 4870, you entered the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm!]

"Come on, let's fight to our hearts' content!"

Climb mountains, trek through deserts, swim in the sea!

[Confront the enemy, practice martial arts, shatter illusions!]

[In 4886, you advanced to the Third Realm.]

The Ancient Immortal Realm isn't very useful anymore, mainly because we've already accumulated enough resources.

In 4933, you were just one step away from the Fourth Realm.

[The 69th test begins.]

Even if a normal person entered with a mortal body, more than twenty trials would be enough for him to condense his Dao Seal and pass the next level.

The reason you're progressing to level 69 is because you're taking advantage of the "speed up your cultivation" opportunities provided in the trials!

Otherwise, even with the Undying Divine Demon Art, the rewards from completing 30 trials would be enough for you to use until now, with some to spare.

[The targeted resources you obtained from the previous 68 levels have significantly increased your comprehension; what you lack is the reward that boosts your cultivation speed.]

[Only True Immortals can possess that ability, and the related Dao principles can provide several hundred units of Dao power.]

In this trial, you are projected into a piece of history, piloting a truly mortal body to defend a city.

[There is no Holy Body, no essence.]

With only 3,000 soldiers defending the city against a million enemy troops below, they must hold out for a month before reinforcements arrive.

The arrival of reinforcements signifies passage through the checkpoint.

This is a situation that is almost impossible to succeed in.

[The million soldiers below have arrows, siege towers, and cannons!]

The people inside the city were in chaos, the officers were considering surrendering, and the soldiers were short of armor and food.

[The situation is fraught with contradictions. Only a sage could be born to unify the entire city, then possess a military genius to effectively allocate the duties of each soldier, and finally, to psychologically and strategically defeat the million-strong enemy army. Only then would there be a sliver of hope for success!]

Even with foresight, one couldn't survive this situation!

For example, if you foresee a soldier rioting tomorrow and you eliminate him today, you'll be safe tomorrow. However, in a siege ten days later, without that soldier fighting to the death, the city walls will be breached, drastically reducing your success rate!

The correct approach is to comfort and reassure the soldier.

[For example, if 60 enemy soldiers were to infiltrate the day after tomorrow and cause massive destruction, and you foresaw this, you would eliminate them directly.]

However, among these 60 enemy soldiers, there is one who can be persuaded. He was once saved by a commoner in the city. You must detain that enemy soldier, allow him to meet the commoner, and change that man's mind.

[Finally, that person spread false information, which could buy the city three crucial days! This would delay the million-strong army for a while longer.]

[This level of difficulty is way too much! It requires making the most of every single person, with extremely low margin for error. Missing even 5 out of 100 steps in the strategy will lead to certain death!]

[Furthermore, the effects of some strategies won't appear until seven or eight days later, but you can only predict them for a little over two days!]

"That's going too far!?"

Yun Shou was furious.

"Isn't this just like that game? You can't get through it without a walkthrough because the puzzle conditions are ridiculously tricky, and there aren't any hints at all!"

For example, "Magic Tower" is a game that on the surface is a simple addition and subtraction game where you control the character to move up, down, left, and right. However, some of the puzzles are deliberately designed to make things difficult for players.

For example, in some versions, the entire game only provides one pickaxe, whose function is to remove walls.

However, you must clear special walls to obtain items in order to fight the monsters behind you. If you clear the wrong walls or lose that item, you will be stuck in the game and unable to complete it.

There's also the classic Mario game, where you have to choose the right path in later levels to reach the boss, otherwise you'll just keep getting stuck in a loop.

The above is still considered good; it can be figured out through trial and error.

Some even more outrageous games have huge maps, yet there's a hidden entrance in one corner, and you have to use one of dozens of special items from your inventory to open it... Note that this refers to "no in-game guidance or hints".

Without consulting official guides, it would take months, even years, to complete the game through sheer exploration.

You've worked hard for three days and foreseen that the situation would become increasingly chaotic.

It seems you missed something, causing widespread panic and escalating the situation.

"We're doomed! Xicheng has been besieged for three days already. There's no hope!"

"We only have a little over two thousand soldiers left, but they still have a million strong army!"

[You're in a complete mess, only to find out it was a thug spreading these kinds of things.]

The correct approach is to eliminate this guy who's spreading fear on day one.

[It's been three days now, and many people are panicking because of him. It's too late to kill him now.]

"I'm a little angry."

You rubbed your temples. This body is just a mortal soldier; it can't handle receiving too much information from the future all at once.

The primordial energy in the world is pitifully scarce, and transcendence is forbidden. You can only constantly push yourself closer to the limits of mortals. In a month, you can at most train yourself to the level of Xiang Yu, capable of defeating a hundred men.

Other NPCs cannot control their bodies as precisely as you do, so their training is not very effective.

You walk up to the city wall and see soldiers leaning wearily against each other, drowsy, yet forced to stay alert by the occasional enemy charge.

The outer side of the city wall was still covered in oil stains and burning.

Below, flags fluttered as another contingent of troops advanced, carrying ladder trucks and shields, approaching from several miles away.

There are probably around ten thousand people.

Compared to the enemy's million-strong army, they were far too few.

[This time I'm just here to harass you guarding the city gate and further wear you down.]

However, if we don't fight seriously, they will also take us down.

Then, the city falls, and you will die, wiped out by the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm.

[Perhaps you can skip this timeline, but it's uncertain whether you'll be eliminated again, kicked out, or put through another trial if you reappear in the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm in the future.]

"Even delaying tactics are useless, and feigned surrender won't work; they're here to massacre the city."

"This is truly a dead end."

"I was planning to progress smoothly through the Ancient Immortal Realm... but you forced me into this!"

【"open!"】

You climbed onto the city wall and closed your eyes.

"Come forth, my future self!"
