[You are dead! The simulation ends!]

Lu Shou's pupils widened as he stared at the bloody words on the system screen in front of him, his fists clenching involuntarily.

He wasn't overly concerned about the third simulated death of the villain. What shocked him most were the last words of the mysterious entity that had appeared in the secret realm.

"Destroyed the Lu family's rebellion?"

"The Lu family, a family of celestial beings, was wiped out in just half a year and labeled as traitors!"

It was only at this moment that Lu Shou realized why, during the third simulation, "he" had remained in the secret realm for so long.

He deduced that by then, the mastermind behind the scenes couldn’t locate him, so they focused all their efforts on destroying the Lu family and cutting off any possible escape routes for him.

He could imagine the horrors the Lu family had endured during those six months. His eldest brother, father, mother...

Lu Shou clenched his teeth, suppressing the anger building in his chest, careful not to reveal his emotions in case Liu Ruyue outside noticed.

"The owner of that voice, I, Lu Shou, will remember you. One day, I will kill you!"

[Start the final settlement. The host may choose three from the following six options.]

[First option: Skill inheritance (Fifth level of the Ancient Dragon Elephant Sutra - Mountain and River Realm, Fifth level of the Thousand Shadows Magic Art - Shapeshifting.)]

[Second option: Martial arts and Taoist techniques (Great mastery of the Cangmang Tyrant Dragon Fist, Minor mastery of the Soul-Drilling Technique.)]

[Third option: Talisman Master Experience (Level 4)]

[Fourth option: Supreme Emperor Bone - Supreme Mode]

[Fifth option: Solidified Red Talent: "You Can't See Me"]

[Sixth option: A well-preserved broken arm (Ye Chen)]

Looking at the six rewards, Lu Shou was instantly excited.

Ye Chen's arm was useless, but the other five options were more than generous.

Each of them could greatly enhance his strength, and he wanted them all.

But now, he could only choose three.

"You can still cultivate and comprehend your cultivation and magical powers, but becoming a fourth-level talisman master is no easy feat."

"In the third simulation, my Dantian was destroyed, my cultivation was lost, and I fell into madness. Only then did I break through to become a fourth-level talisman master."

"The status of a talisman master is incredibly high and rare, almost surpassing that of a cultivator of the same level. It will be a trump card for me in the future."

"During the third simulation, the two 'Sealing Talismans' from the Ghost Doctor crippled all my abilities, forcing me into a desperate situation. This shows just how powerful a talisman master is."

"There's also the 'Supreme Mode,' a special form derived from the 'Supreme Emperor Bone.' I can't miss that."

"And 'You Can't See Me,' this red talent has saved me multiple times. At critical moments, it can even deceive powerful gods."

Soon, Lu Shou made his decision.

"Simulator, I choose the third, fourth, and fifth items."

He didn't choose to blindly cultivate his realm as he had in the previous simulations.

In fact, the other rewards were more important.

[Ding, the host has chosen to start the injection.]

Boom!

A long river of time suddenly appeared, enveloping Lu Shou. As he looked up, he saw the different lives that belonged to him.

Soon, a "weirdo" appeared before him—ragged clothes, a gaunt face, skin and bones, green eyes, and a mad expression.

The strange figure had six [Tao Fruits] glowing with different lights on its body.

Swish!

The [Fourth-Level Talisman Master], [Supreme Mode], and [You Can't See Me] Tao fruits floated out, flew towards Lu Shou, and merged into his body.

"The power of 'Lu Shou,' who had different villain endings in the river of time, was gathered into 'me.'"

"Finally, I became a new individual."

Lu Shou stared at the ragged, skinny "weirdo" in front of him. He could still feel the madness and despair in the figure's eyes.

Swish!

As the long river of time began to fade, the strange figure began turning to sand and dissipating.

At the last moment before it vanished, the figure's wild eyes seemed to glow, staring at Lu Shou.

"Revenge..."

"Good!"

Lu Shou was stunned. This was the first time he had seen such a situation.

The dead self, revived by the [River of Time], was able to reveal a trace of consciousness from its previous life.

He nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, the strange figure seemed relieved and satisfied as it disappeared.

Swish!

In a final gesture, it grabbed the dark and strange [Tao Fruit] and threw it out.

Under Lu Shou's astonished gaze, the [Tao Fruit] merged into his body.

[Ding, congratulations to the host for receiving the gift from the "River of Time" and obtaining martial arts and Taoist techniques (Cangmang Ba Long Fist - Great Success, Dinghun Fa - Minor Success.)]

The gift from the “River of Time”!

Lu Shou looked at the strange figure that had disappeared and began to understand more about the [Villain Life Simulator].

Those seemingly virtual "villain life simulations" were, in fact, real lives at certain points in time.

[Host: Lu Shou]

[Age: 18]

[Profession: Talisman Master (Level 4)]

[Realm: Peak of Divine Power (Fourth Realm)]

[Kung Fu: Fourth level of the Ancient Dragon Elephant Sutra (Heavenly Level), Fourth level of the Thousand Shadows Magic Skill (Heavenly Level), True Book of Talismans]

[Divine Magic: Dragon Elephant Tyrant Body, Shadow Simulation, Vast Dragon Fist, Soul Nailing Method, Supreme Mode]

[Constitution: Supreme Emperor Bone (???)]

[Talent: Grease the soles of your feet (blue), You Can't See Me (red)]

[Item: Life-saving Blood Escape Talisman]

[Number of simulations: 0]

[Villain Points: 0]

The three simulations of the novice period are over. The next villain life simulation will require enough villain points.

"The novice protection period is over. From now on, I must do it myself."

Seeing this, Lu Shou understood that it was time for him to move forward.

However, he no longer had the simulator to fall back on.

If he died, it would be permanent. He was truly dead.

"Nevertheless, compared to the blank slate I was at the beginning, I am now a completely new person."

Feeling the powerful cultivation and special talents within him, Lu Shou felt a surge of confidence and strength.

The three villain life simulations now seemed like distant memories.

But in the real world, only twenty minutes had passed.

Perhaps because Master Lu had not yet responded, Lu Zhong, the guard, reminded him, "Master Lu, it seems Miss Liu was plotted against and drugged. She escaped at the last moment. Should we help?"

Lu Zhong knew his little devil had an interest in the school beauty Liu.

This was a golden opportunity, so why not seize it?

However, Lu Shou's next reaction surprised Lu Zhong.

Upon learning that this was a setup to kill him, he had no intention of doing what the other party wanted.

His real focus was on confronting the mastermind behind the plot.

Since he was being treated like a brainless fool, he would show them what a true genius was!

"Snort!"

"How could such a thing happen under my nose? Is there no justice? Is there no law? This is against the will of heaven!"

"This kind of thing is my specialty."

"Lu Zhong, drive the car and find out who is behind this plot."

Lu Shou acted like a spoiled young man enraged by the shame. He pushed open the car door, got out, and dragged Liu Ruyue into the car, tossing her in without a second thought.

I will teach those behind this how to play this game.

Hello! As I had promised to work on other books as well, I've been focusing on translating and updating them as quickly as possible. Because of this, my attention to this book has decreased — and I'm truly sorry for that.

When I first read this story, I was deeply moved and amazed. It's a truly beautiful tale. I will continue translating it, and most of the chapters will be completed within a week. I'll publish each translated chapter here as I finish them.
