[The headquarters of the Demon Alliance is hidden very deep, and only the grandmasters of each village know its location. You have passed through an area surrounded by vines, then crossed a valley, with strange vines growing on the cliffs on both sides, covered with bright flowers. Finally, you arrive at a large waterfall that is ten zhang wide.]
The waterfall has a drop of nearly 100 meters; for ordinary people, standing at its base would be suicide. But you don't need to worry too much. Following Master Li Tianbing's instructions, you quickly leaped into the waterfall's curtain of water, only to find a hidden paradise inside.
"My goodness, this blessed land of Flower and Fruit Mountain, the Water Curtain Cave..." You, with your playful old age in mind, murmured in amazement. Gathering your strength, you leaped inside.
[Beyond the cascading waterfall lay a secluded mountain cave, naturally formed rather than cultivated by human hands. Inside, ancient stalactites hung like a forest, but unfortunately, the world's stalactites were not medicinal herbs due to the different setting.]
Not long after entering the mountain cave, the masters from various villages gathered together, forming one faction led by a Grandmaster from Ningguo, while the other faction consisted of only three people.
[A boy of fifteen or sixteen, his sharpness blazing, his sword aura almost tangible; the first time you saw him, you felt a blinding glare, a stinging pain in your eyes as if pierced by needles.]
"A beast!" you roared inwardly. What kind of monster was this? Its martial arts cultivation was definitely that of a Martial Master, and a top-tier Martial Master approaching the Grandmaster level, having already condensed its own martial will!
[Aside from the future cheater (the original character using the emulator), in your sixty-plus years of life experience, you've never imagined that the words "young man" and "martial arts master" could be used together, and soon "young man" and "grandmaster" will be used together as well.]
Yun Shou: "..."
He had no answer.
Simulates four generations, spanning over a century.
However, he unexpectedly encountered a prodigy, a peak martial arts master at the age of fifteen, who was as strong as a monster and invincible.
"Wrong is not necessarily wrong!"
[There were two others. One was a cool and aloof woman, around twenty years old, whose first-rate martial arts skills were equally astonishing, but not even a hair's breadth inferior to that of the young man.]
The third person was a jovial old man. You didn't sense any martial arts cultivation in him, so he was probably a grandmaster, a powerful individual who could control his aura at will.
When you first met these three, you thought the young man was a peerless genius secretly cultivated by the Demon Alliance, but the strange atmosphere made you realize that wasn't the case.
The three men immediately addressed the issue of urging all the powerful warriors of the Demon-Hating Alliance to leave the jungle and join their resistance, urging them to stop being cowards and instead fight against the Demon Kingdom.
You think this sandstorm is blocking the wind?
【We're going to fight the Demon Kingdom? Really?】
The group of three was led by the young man, who explained in detail his plan: to instigate uprisings in the various cities and farms under the control of the Demon Kingdom, allowing the tide of humanity to overwhelm the demons.
After you refused again, he began to berate you in a fit of rage, saying you were a bunch of cowards who had hidden away in these deep mountains and forests, living a carefree and happy life for ten years, completely unaware of the hellish conditions you were experiencing outside!
[That was a despairing tragedy unprecedented in human history. Men, women, and children in the cages were naked, their personalities eroded by years of domestication, their eyes vacant as they waited for the demonic bloodline outside to choose and devour them.]
Even in the depths of despair, they did not give up hope. In the city, some of the lowest-class slaves secretly defied orders to practice martial arts; in the prison pens where people lived like pigs and sheep, fire gleamed in the eyes of those crawling on the ground…
You fell silent, speechless for a moment. The boy was right; you really were a bunch of cowards.
Although they say they are preserving the last spark of humanity, most are actually just afraid of dying.
Fear of death is not a sin, but now there is a comparison.
[In a crowd, you're just an ordinary martial artist, not particularly noticeable. You clench and unclench your fist, the knuckles cracking, but you don't stand out because you're not the only one making these unusual noises.]
[The cracking sound of clenched fists, the grinding sound of teeth...]
The young man left in anger. As he was about to emerge from the cave, your grandmaster asked his name, and you realized that you had never known who these three people were or what their names were.
The boy disappeared into the distance, leaving only one sentence echoing in the distance.
"Cowards don't deserve to know my name. I don't want to live in the mouths of burrowing rats!"
Yun Shou took a deep breath. It was just a short line of text in the simulation, and he had never experienced that era, yet he was struck right in the face by a sentence from decades in the future.
He was hot-blooded and reckless, full of youthful vigor... But wasn't he also a young man, in the prime of his youth, a time of high spirits and ambition?
No matter what he does in the simulation, he will not be dissatisfied with it.
"Damn it, I can't stand it!"
[The day the demon descends is still over thirty years away from the main body. You have twelve thousand worthless lives; what's the harm in sacrificing this one?]
Ignoring the gazes of your companions and other martial artists, you strode forward, following behind the three young men.
[Do you believe that the real person outside the simulator won't blame you for this recklessness? A short-lived assassin who dares to wield a sword against an emperor is far superior to a worthless wretch who lives a hundred years by serving others!]
This time you might have been carried away, but you... have no regrets!
In the 315th year of the Daqing era, you met Beichenguang, Jiang Yueli, and Chuheshang.
[Your foundation was almost destroyed after that battle three years ago, and your martial arts cultivation has made no progress in three years. But now, you feel that your state of mind seems to be somewhat different.]
