The predecessors cut down the trees, and the successors are left to suffer from scorching sun and torrential rain.

You finally understand the true meaning of that sentence.

The large trees by the roadside originally provided shelter from the wind and rain, offering shade, but they were cut down by shameless people, leaving those who came after to bear the bitter consequences of nature's actions.

So who is at fault?

[Of course, it's the scorching sun and the rainy weather!]

"What does it mean?"

[You just used your ticket to enter Old Man Destiny's dojo, and before you even participated in the advancement competition, when you entered the more inner elite dojo to replicate those ten thousand principles, you saw a flash of light, and then you were teleported to a secret chamber.]

Just as you were completely bewildered, Magles appeared before you with a grin: "My brother, you've finally shown yourself, and coincidentally—you've come to your elder brother's territory."

【you:"……"】

How did you find out about me?

"Because you are truly exceptional, even among perfect immortals, there is nowhere that can overshadow your brilliance!"

You want to ask a few more questions and learn more about the situation from Magles.

However, this old guy was completely different from how he had behaved in the previous thirteen simulations. He gave a few perfunctory replies with an indifferent expression and then left.

[Furthermore, you feel that the mental barrier you've built in your mind is being attacked by him—but it hasn't been breached.]

You silently end this future.

[Outside the illusory gate, you, having received the relevant memories, fall into deep thought.]

"It's a bit tricky. It seems that this time I've been taken into the old guy's stronghold. He's confident that I have no way to leave, so he's not even willing to pretend."

"When he met with 13 last time, the old man probably thought I possessed some special ability to escape or even self-destruct, so he was still trying to coax me into joining his 'dojo.'"

"But this time, I was moved to a certain place and locked up as soon as I entered the dojo. It's obvious that he has absolute confidence in that place. For example, in that secret room he carefully prepared, even if I commit suicide, my essential authority will remain in place..."

[You pondered deeply: "The biggest problem is how to bypass the rules that detect the issues on me and then teleport me to the small secret room..."]

"Back then, with all that information, how did the three of them manage to get around it now?"

Thinking too much is not as good as putting it into practice.

Having formulated response strategies for different situations and implemented multiple safety measures in your mind, you once again venture into the future to test the waters.

"Why take so many safety measures? Are you afraid someone will kidnap your child?"

This time, the chosen training center is also Magles'.

[But each time, as soon as they moved in, before they even saw the more than 2.9 billion unhidden Dao principles, they were forcibly teleported into a small secret room.]

Like a veteran of the BDSM world, Magles suddenly appears from some corner. You try a thousand questions, conduct tens of thousands of tests, and often trick him with unexpected remarks.

However, the information obtained was very limited.

You saw a hint of mockery in his eyes, as if he were saying: all your struggles are in vain.

[You paused for a moment, then blurted out in the future once more: "Actually, I am not the third Dao Lord of the Life Realm."]

These words were completely unexpected by Magles, causing his expression to change for the first time: "Impossible! Your physique and Dao power far surpass those of an ordinary perfect True Immortal. How could you not be the Dao Lord of the Life Realm!?"

[“You have even surpassed the complete Eternal End! (This is right at the 700/1250 descent cycle, comparable to a 33 billion-level Cosmic Lord)”]

Magles remained silent for a long time, his gaze gradually hardening, yet he couldn't understand it at all, because the Ancient Dao Master had never used the ability to "summon past incarnations and combine past power."

[Of course, it wasn't used simply because the "ancient abilities" that the former Dao Lord possessed when he broke through from zero to the seventh realm before becoming a Dao Lord did not include summoning his past self.]

[He only acquired that ability after fully assuming authority upon becoming the Dao Lord.]

"Oh, it's just that we unlocked different skill bars."

You calmly continue, dropping another bombshell: "This is the final, most glorious, and most exciting era—the very last and most magnificent era."

"The last two Dao Lords—have been born together!"

"As you can see, I am the future."

[You wanted to sip some tea and show off a little, but since you can't do it in this secret room, you had to say the next line: "The third Dao Lord of the Life Realm is my ally, and all the special abilities I've displayed stem from his enhancement!"]

"We will join forces to overthrow the rule of you monopolists and restore a clear sky to the universe!"

Magles seemed stunned, remaining silent for over ten seconds, but then you suddenly noticed a knowing smile playing on his lips.

Before a single sense of unease even arose in your heart, it was already too late.

The "information" has arrived.

[She and Magles chose to join forces, instantly using their informational powers to control your soul and consciousness, making it impossible for you to interrupt this future!]

Just like Baihe, who was previously under your control and obediently went on a trip and worked (referring to a trip to Egypt to do some research)!

"she?"

"Wow, it's a girl."

She reads all the information in your mind, learns everything you know, and then, with a smile, stuffs a massive amount of memory information into your soul, filling and brainwashing your consciousness.

This isn't the kind of brainwashing that involves illusion or manipulation; it's brainwashing through a pure overload of information!

[It's like making your consciousness in this future genuinely feel that you must be loyal to her and obey her.]

Just like in the last simulation, the Ice Queen Ellen, who was imprisoned in the Purgatory Universe by Shirakawa, after enduring an incredibly tragic experience over a long period, her despair didn't stem from hypnosis, but from a complete reconstruction of her personality!

"The Ice Goddess is somewhat similar... but she received education from the gods of the giant island region from a young age. It can be said that her innate values ​​were shaped by her upbringing, so it can't be considered brainwashing."

"Emmmm... Thirteen's 36,000 Immortal Guards are the same. They were raised to worship B like the sun."
