[During this simulation, you still managed to take a look at the timeless classic in the Yunyang Realm, "The Romantic Martial Emperor."]

[You also remembered the hundreds of characters described in that book. Although most of the characters were added later by various writers, some of them were based on real people.]

[In your ten years on the Tianwu Continent, you've earned a reputation for being a womanizer, but little did you know you weren't unique. Before you, there was already a predecessor, a supreme womanizer.]

When you first heard his rumors, you were dismissive. He'd been in power for over a thousand years, yet his harem only numbered a few thousand—less than a fraction of the people at your parties!

Although the current number is insufficient, that's only because you haven't been on the Tianwu Continent for very long, not because you're not a womanizer!

[Later, you heard that the concubines in the harem were all domestic beauties, while he had countless wild flowers, and only then did you start to pay him a little more attention.]

[Then you hear the name of that supreme being, "Ning Jun," and it sounds familiar.]

[So, I subconsciously inquired a bit and discovered that some of the strange women around him had names and personalities that seemed...familiar to me from somewhere before.]

["No way..." You thought this was too much of a coincidence, so you approached that Ning Jun.]

After a brief exchange, you discover that Lord Ning is indeed that... no, according to the current timeline, he was the founding emperor of the Ning Kingdom, one of the three kingdoms of the Yunyang Realm, 1600 years ago!

He ascended to immortality, achieving immense success, rising from a lowly mortal innate king to a supreme being of the fourth realm, still a monarch of a nation, and retaining his reputation for womanizing!

[However, he ascended to the Heavenly Martial Continent!]

Sixteen hundred years ago, the Yunyang Realm did not belong to the Yuantian Realm. At that time, it had not yet been captured by the Yuantian Realm, so after Ning Jun became a Xiantian, he naturally came to the Tianwu Continent.

You and he talked for three hours, posing as fellow villagers. You learned that when he ascended, the ascension passage was already crumbling and emitting strange fluctuations.

Although he didn't understand at the time, this meant that the Yunyang Realm was about to leave the Tianwu Continent. If it didn't leave, it would soon be trapped in the cosmic membrane until it was completely captured by the Yuantian Realm hundreds of years later and assigned to the Qingyu Region...

However, a subconscious sense of unease led him to hastily leave the Yunyang Realm with his wife and daughters.

At that time, Ning Jun had only just entered the Innate Realm and had not been ascended for long. Of course, he did not have the ability or the resources to investigate the reason for the instability of the ascension passage.

Less than five years after he left, he discovered that the entrance to ascension had disappeared. It wasn't until his cultivation improved that he understood this was because that lower realm had separated from the Tianwu Continent.

However, even now he is unaware that his birthplace is heading towards the edge of the universe, and even now, having only achieved the status of a Supreme Being, he still lacks the ability to trace back to the distant Yunyang Realm.

He was unaware that the Cloud Realm had been dragged into the cosmic membrane, but even if the Cloud Realm were within the universe, he lacked the ability to get there in time.

[A mere Supreme Being, even if accelerated to the limits of the mortal world in space, using all those thousands of years of lifespan for travel, would only advance a few thousand light-years, still far from the inner membrane of the universe!]

[Facing this fellow townsman, or rather, an old friend in some ways, you chatted amiably, recounting how you encountered a powerful "Emperor" who, on his way, conveniently brought you to the vast world of Tianwu Continent, tens of thousands of light-years away.]

After your previous conversation, you two, from a similar perspective, talked about even more interesting things.

Sometimes you talk about food and drinks.

"To be honest, I still think if you want to fill your stomach, it's better to just eat a steamed bun."

You guys occasionally talk about aesthetics.

"When butterflies spread their wings, it's truly a magnificent sight."

[Then you hold hands and go together to put your previous conversation into practice.]

"So intimate? Anyone who didn't know better would think Diao Chan and Diao Chan were together."

"Hey, Brother Yun, you haven't been here long, so you probably don't know, but the Jade Purity Sect next door is having a special event going on recently."

"Oh? What special event?"

"This concerns their most closely guarded secret technique, called the Cloud Maiden Cleansing Body Technique. It is an extremely powerful technique, but only a few Venerable Ones are worthy of knowing it—this technique requires absorbing the essence of three supreme arts during its cultivation!"

"Could it be?!"

"That's right! Among Heaven, Earth, and Man, besides the essence of Heaven and Earth, the remaining 'Man' among the three perfections is also indispensable, especially the resources produced by us Four Realms Venerables, which are top-notch spiritual herbs!"

"Oh my god, this is such a great event, how can I participate?"

"Hey, isn't that a coincidence? There are exactly two of us, and I happen to have two tickets!"

"Damn, that's awesome, Brother Ning!"

"We're all brothers, from the same hometown!"

"By the way, Brother Yun, not to be rude, but you'd better be careful. Remember to eliminate any potential threats, otherwise, if one day some beautiful woman comes looking for you with hostages, don't blame me for not preparing you in advance."

"Hahaha, don't worry, Brother Ning. In the nearly one thousand years since I started out, I've never failed to kill billions of whales! I haven't even let the water spirits get the better of me!"

"As expected of you, Brother Yun! You're no longer confined to the pure human race; you're a gourmand just like me, with recipes all over the world!"

For a period of time, you became close friends.

Although you're a bit of a germaphobe and haven't become like-minded with him or fought him two-on-one, you often fight side-by-side, battling on the same battlefield.

Yun Shou: "..."

Sometimes you enter ancient battlefields where the fighting is extremely fierce, and your clothes are covered in blood. Although you are not the ones bleeding, you are still fighting a bloody battle.

"Brother Yun, I can take on three hundred at once, so don't lose to me!"

"Are you kidding me?! How could I possibly lose?" you shout. "Bigger, bigger, bigger, bigger, bigger!"

[Then it revealed its true form as the Thorn Demon King, its head pointed like a dragon's, with countless thorns protruding from it, resembling a super-long and enlarged spiked club—a truly terrifying ultimate weapon!]

You wield your super weapon with overwhelming force, a calm smile on your face: "I can take on three thousand at once!"

Ning Jun: "!!! What kind of secret technique is this!?"

[You initially wanted to say that this was a special ability brought about by another system, but seeing the yearning look in Brother Ning's eyes, you couldn't bear to say it.]

We're all brothers, we have to find a way to help him solve this problem!
