Chapter 119 Comparison is the thief of joy.



Forty years later, you became the most powerful person in the world and ascended the throne as emperor in the capital.

The emperor who once looked down on you became your victim, and everything he owned became yours.

Those who once made things difficult for you all died at your hands.

You find the person who wrote an article mocking you, but that person is already dead, so you dig up their grave.

Forty-one years later, you found your "fiancée," but she had become a beggar.

The first thing she did when she saw you was not to recognize you, but to look away. Her youth was gone, and she had become an old and ugly woman.

Seeing this, you realize that even if you become the most powerful person, some things, once gone, can never be retrieved.

Forty-two years later, you stopped bothering your fiancée and simply sent someone to protect her so she could live out the rest of her life. Perhaps that was the best thing for everyone.

You begin to govern the world day and night, hoping that the tragedy that befell you will not happen to others.

Forty-four years later, due to overwork, your once black hair turned white far too early.

Even so, wrongful convictions still occur frequently.

You also realize that the world is so vast that even if you work yourself to death, you still cannot completely eliminate all kinds of injustices.

Some wrongful convictions cannot be overturned even with your help; some people have already died because of them.

What's past is past; trying to change it now won't undo what's done.

Sixty years later, you are lying in a hospital bed due to overwork.

You've been preoccupied with state affairs and haven't been educating your princes at all.

When the princes learned of your illness, they were dissatisfied with your chosen successor and began to rebel.

This makes you quite angry, since you were forced to rebel in the first place.

The princes were served the best food and drink, and were ten thousand times happier than ordinary people, yet they still thought of rebelling.

Sixty-five years later, your illness was miraculously cured, and you suppressed the rebellion of all the princes.

Looking at the princes, most of whom were middle-aged, you felt a sense of unfamiliarity.

Time has changed them beyond recognition; if it weren't for the people whose names correspond to them, you wouldn't recognize them as your children.

You didn't intend to kill them; you just wanted them to admit their mistakes.

But they didn't admit their mistakes, and even when they did, it was just a perfunctory response.

You did not kill them, you merely imprisoned the princes.

Sixty-six years later, you are completely exhausted. Even if you become the most powerful person in the world, you still cannot stop the river of time.

Your former ambitions are gone; you have passed the throne to your heir.

Then you, along with the empress who looked exactly like your fiancée, went into seclusion in a small mountain village.

Seventy years later, you lay peacefully in your bed, your life coming to an end.

On your deathbed, you see your queen restored to her youth, weeping on your sickbed.

You weren't too surprised because you discovered it quite early on.

Only at the very end of your life do you realize that you truly loved your queen, while all you felt for your fiancée was guilt.

You gave one last smile.

[The following options can be retained after the simulation.]

[Option 1: Retain all learned knowledge, skills, and combat experience.]

[Option 2: Retain your cultivation level.]

[Option 3: Maintain blood circulation and physical condition.]

Option 4: Keep the items that appear.

Han Feng preserved the simulated memories of his life, with each memory fragment and feeling flowing into his mind.

He began to immerse himself in the experience, feeling the passage of time on himself.

In this life simulation, Han Feng went from being an insignificant nobody to becoming the most powerful person in the world.

Even though his status has changed so much, there is very little he can change.

Because time waits for no one, some things, once missed, will never come back.

For example, if Han Feng's fiancée is falsely accused of being sent to a brothel, by the time he can rescue her, she has already aged and lost her beauty.

In the previous life simulation, Han Feng was more like a spectator.

In this life simulation, he was truly immersed in it, and his mindset underwent a tremendous change.

His state of mind, like the passage of time, is constantly changing.

Han Feng's body has changed with the passage of time, as has his mind.

Previously, he was more like a "passerby," but this time he is a true "participant."

After several days of thorough comprehension, Han Feng's Great Dao of Time reached the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

However, his cultivation level did not rise accordingly. Next, Han Feng still needs to raise his magic power to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm before his cultivation level can truly reach the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

This is quite different from advancing from the Nascent Soul stage to the Deity Transformation stage.

Han Feng opened the Great Path of Time, allowing the two "master's wives" inside the cave to feel it.

Hu Qingshuang was half-awake and half-asleep, and under the tempering of the great path of time, she made her dream path completely complete.

Hu Meiyu experienced decades of life in brothels, from initial helplessness to eventual adaptation.

She felt so many desires in people here, such as the desire for money and the desire for dignity.

A brothel is a place to release desires. People who come here have different purposes and naturally different desires.

Compared to the desires Hu Meiyu had previously experienced, these desires were more varied and the emotions were more intense.

As Hu Meiyu continued to gain insights into "desire," her aura grew stronger, and her cultivation level rose to the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

"I've broken through to the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm!"

At the moment of breaking through her cultivation level, Hu Meiyu suddenly opened her eyes.
