The beasts of destruction were unwilling, or perhaps dared not, to enter the Yuan Tian Realm; they only dared to absorb the Qi and fortune drop by drop from outside the Yuan Tian Realm.
[Even the weaker rulers of the Spring and Autumn Period were able to survive among tens of millions of calamity beasts because when they couldn't defeat them, they would simply burrow downwards and escape back into the Yuan Tian Realm!]
The beasts could only remain outside the boundary wall, baring their teeth in anger, but refusing to burrow down!
"It's like instantly returning to town with no cooldown and no cost."
Yun Shou said, "From this perspective, as long as we stand firmly on the Yuan Tian boundary and remain vigilant, we won't be surrounded and attacked by the calamity beasts and perish."
"Looks pretty safe... so hurry up and go have some fun, National Day!"
He loudly encouraged, "It would be best to go and stab the leader of the beastmen again. For the sake of excitement, there's no need to use the precognitive ability. The sooner they die, the sooner they'll be reborn!"
In case, he meant in case.
If Eleven really manages to become an immortal, what will he do?
Although his simulation count is refreshed once a day, the timer starts from the moment he clicks on the simulation.
This means that even if a simulation continues indefinitely, there is a chance to get another chance after a day, allowing for double or triple simulations.
However, this simulation is not so extreme; it can even be described as foolproof. Once a newly created account passes a few key plot points, it can continue to progress smoothly until it reaches the state of immortality.
"If things continue like this, won't I be left with no choice but to rely on my own efforts in reality?"
Yun Shou was extremely upset. For someone like him who had cheated, having his cheat reduced was even more painful than losing half his life.
He has a clear understanding of himself; he is where he is today because of 1% luck and 99% hard work.
Yes, it's essentially a 1% increase every year.
And a cheat that consumes 1% of essence daily for simulation.
All that's left is sweat.
What really bothered him was... that this wasn't some "behind-the-scenes distribution system" trying to choke him.
He messed up by himself!
[Regarding this counterintuitive phenomenon, you can only speculate that a powerful being, perhaps at the eighth or ninth realm, is slumbering within the Yuantian Realm.]
[Or it may retain a trace of a giant's aura, similar to the "Ancient Immortal Realm" set up by a mysterious figure 20 billion years ago.]
Alternatively, life may exist in this world. If these extraterrestrial pests, like the Calamity Beasts, were to enter it, it could trigger the awakening and retaliation of the world's will.
The Yuantian Realm spans hundreds of trillions of miles in size. Even if the living beings and mountains and rivers within it could be destroyed by a single palm strike from a True Immortal, it doesn't mean that the structure of this "world" is equally fragile.
[It's like... when you take a hot shower, over 99% of the microorganisms on your skin are scalded and washed away. Then you rub your skin with your hands, and layer after layer of grime, which is like mountains of dirt to those microorganisms, is peeled off.]
[A True Immortal's attack is like hot water and a scrubbing motion; it can shatter the myriad realms of the Primordial Heaven Realm into dust, but the fundamental "world" itself remains intact!]
However, these are all just speculations.
[After all, the Yuan Tian Realm has never produced such an ungrateful True Immortal: after advancing to the seventh realm, he destroyed the entire Yuan Tian Myriad Realms with a single slap.]
[Seven realms may exist throughout the universe, but that probability doesn't apply to the Yuantian Realm.]
The five ancient immortals who remained had not been cultivating for long enough to discern whether the Yuantian Realm possessed consciousness. They had initially believed it did not: there had been no trace of it for tens or hundreds of billions of years, and the Battlefield of Prodigies was merely a rigid evolution of rules, which did not prove that the world possessed a spirit.
However, the illogical behavior of the raptors raised their suspicions.
After considering these two points, you decided to test the waters.
[In the future, you directly informed the immortals of your precognitive power, instructing them to wreak havoc and commit acts of utterly reckless destruction against the Yuantian Realm in the following hours!]
That happened more than seventy years ago. At that time, Ye Qingtian had not yet become an immortal, and there were nine immortals in the Yuantian Realm.
[Even the weakest among them is a True Immortal at the third stage. If all nine Immortals attack together, the Yuantian Realm will definitely not be able to withstand it!]
In that future, you saw the Yuantian Realm explode.
It truly couldn't withstand it; not only did the beings and environment within the world fail to hold on, but the world itself did too.
It... exploded!
The world's structure collapsed, and the outermost membrane of the world was torn to shreds like tattered rags.
The nine immortals protected you, and the ten of you stood amidst the desolate ruins left by the destruction of Yuan Tian.
There's nothing there.
[The Primordial Heaven Realm did not suddenly manifest its consciousness to judge the nine of them based on their world consciousness.]
No powerful figures slumbering deep within the world were awakened and sprang to life.
[Yes, there are only Calamity Beasts that spawned outside that "Calamus Force Field." They seemed momentarily stunned upon seeing the destroyed Yuan Tian Realm, before charging towards you with bared fangs and claws.]
[We have crossed what was originally the "Primordial Heaven Boundary Barrier," but which has now been torn apart, and are launching an attack on you.]
Therefore, previous speculations about "the Yuantian Realm being alive" and "the Yuantian Realm having hidden powerful figures" have been overturned.
[Only one possibility remains, a possibility with little practical value: the aura left behind by a powerful figure in the Yuan Tian Realm is what frightened the calamity beasts into not daring to directly enter the world.]
[For example, the big shots who left behind the phrase "Ancient Immortal Realm".]
Compared to the previous two guesses, this answer only serves to clear up your doubts; it offers no further support whatsoever.
[If it's one of the first two possibilities, you can still try to awaken the world's consciousness or find a powerful figure to break through the unfathomable field of calamity.]
But once the real answer comes out, you'll find that whether you understand this point or not has no impact on the current situation.
What good will knowing do? You still have to fight the monsters yourself.
[...Also, you tried pulling out the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm and shoving it at the faces of the Calamity Beasts, but they didn't react at all.]
["Either the 'Great Immortal of Antiquity' only left their aura on the boundary wall, not on the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm, or someone else left their aura..."]
You feel a tightness in your chest, as if you've discovered a key to solving a puzzle, but after solving it, it's just ordinary.
"Because they were short of money, they heard about the treasure, so they gathered their friends and went through a series of dangerous challenges before finally opening the treasure chest."
"Inside is a note: The most precious treasure is the friendship you've gained on this journey!"
[By the way, the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm is extremely powerful; even True Immortals weaker than the third stage cannot destroy it.]
Although even the True Immortals can destroy it now... they cannot break its defenses and retrieve the Northern Starlight from within.
