My Simulated Road to Immortality-Chapter 1239 - 1191: A Dream Spanning a Thousand Years
Sun Erlang had not expected that Senior Chen of the Taiyan Sect, after having expounded so extensively on the power of the Stone of Transformation, would eventually gift him this very stone from the Yi Xing Tomb, lost to the outside world for thousands of years.
"Thank you, Senior!" However, Sun Erlang was not foolish and, fearing that the other might have a change of heart, he immediately accepted the treasure.
Beaming with pleasure as he inspected it in his hands for a long while, Sun Erlang’s expression gradually shifted from delight to embarrassment.
"Senior, this Stone of Transformation..."
"Seems useless?"
Chen Tianhai said, "To experience the mysteries of the Stone of Transformation, it must be paired with our sect’s Secret Technique of [Transmutation God One]!"
Sun Erlang immediately became alert and said, "Senior, I already have a master. I cannot join your Taiyan Sect..."
Chen Tianhai chuckled and replied, "Young man, you worry too much. I have already given you the stone, why would I care about this secret technique?"
With a flick of his finger, imbued with an ethereal blue light, Sun Erlang suddenly felt new information about [Transmutation God One] flood into his Spirit Consciousness.
As he slowly activated the secret technique, the blue gemstone in Sun Erlang’s hand shimmered like flowing light, being absorbed into his body.
In his Spirit Consciousness, a similarly shaped dazzling crystal was slowly taking form.
Sun Erlang suddenly felt as if Heaven and Earth had lit up.
In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through his Spirit Consciousness. His thoughts surged like a storm, and memories, some of which he had nearly forgotten, began to resurface.
Thinking back on his earlier confusion about why Senior Chen from the Taiyan Sect had regarded him so differently, Sun Erlang, who had previously only guessed vaguely, was now deriving several possibilities in his mind.
Favor shown by the Sacred Dynasty Daqi and his master, and his unique constitution that was beneficial to the Taiyan Sect.
And the Taiyan Sect’s ability to control certain methods through the Stone of Transformation, as part of a conspiracy...
Many possibilities were sequentially listed.
Simultaneously, he continually adjusted his conclusions based on the information obtained from the outside world.
"Is this, [Transmutation God One]?"
Long after, Sun Erlang regained his senses from the shock and exclaimed in awe.
He could not help but gaze at the Stone Mother of Transformation before him.
Just a tiny fragment possessed such a powerful calculating ability. Then how powerful must the Stone Mother of Transformation truly be?
"Senior, is the Stone of Transformation you gave me related to the [Simulation] you just mentioned?"
The source of this c𝐨ntent is freёnovelkiss.com.
Staring at the Stone Mother of Transformation, Sun Erlang suddenly asked, as if inspired.
Chen Tianhai nodded somewhat inexplicably, "Besides the future of the Xuanhuang World, the Stone Mother of Transformation also contains many other fictional worlds."
"It serves to fully utilize the Stone Mother’s capabilities, and also to better correct established reality."
"You might see them as a kind of rehearsal."
Sun Erlang nodded thoughtfully.
The moment he had fully absorbed the Stone of Transformation, images of his return to report to his master and subsequent events involuntarily appeared in his Spirit Consciousness.
Compared to the mere thoughts of the past, this time, various expressions and reactions of people he would meet in the future all emerged in an instant.
"This is the simulated future. However, my calculating ability is insufficient, so I can only derive parts strongly related to me."
"And the Transformation Stone Mother, besides advancing the Xuanhuang World, even had the excess energy to simulate even more."
As Sun Erlang was pondering, Chen Tianhai continued, "These fictional worlds are mostly built using native materials from the Xuanhuang World as their foundation. Therefore, you might encounter many things that seem real but aren’t..."
"But rest assured, it’s realistic enough. It can let you truly experience a complete lifetime."
"Young man, have you ever heard this saying? To govern the world, the talents from a single county are already sufficient. Although this principle is widespread in the Mortal Realm, it applies to our Immortal Cultivation World as well. The Mystic Sky Sect that once dominated the world had at its core only twelve cultivators close to the King of Mystic Sky."
"Mystic Sky Sect?" Sun Erlang heard this term for the first time and couldn’t help but be curious.
However, Chen Tianhai didn’t seem inclined to elaborate and continued with his speculation, "This world does not lack talents. What it lacks is merely the space and opportunities for them to grow."
"And in the worlds simulated by the Stone of Transformation, we have created just such a stage. It can allow characters like young master to grow rapidly."
Being still young, Sun Erlang felt somewhat proud when he heard Chen Tianhai so emphatically praise him.
But he soon frowned and asked, "How long does this simulation last? Will it make Master wait too long?"
"A thousand years in a dream, a moment passes in a blink. Young man, are you ready?" Chen Tianhai suddenly asked loudly.
At the same time, the Transformation Stone Mother radiated a blue light ring.
Within the light ring, numerous otherworldly landscapes were vaguely visible. A figure enveloped in blue light also flew out from Sun Erlang’s Spirit Consciousness, heading straight into the light ring of the Stone Mother.
When Chen Tianhai finally saw where Sun Erlang landed, a trace of a strange expression crossed his face.
"Ancient Xuanhuang, a world where the Immortal Tribulation has not occurred. Interesting..."
Chen Tianhai’s previous words, in fact, were not entirely complete.
Indeed, to govern the world, the talents of one county are enough.
But that is merely enough.
Although the world has many talents, there are always some individuals who are extraordinary.
They might be temporarily overlooked for some reason, but once given the opportunity, they can rise abruptly and change their fate, overturning heaven and earth.
The Transformation Stone Mother has simulated and iterated through countless worlds, and whenever such individuals emerge, they can dramatically influence and alter the destiny of the world.
"Countless futures, countless branches. The existence or disappearance of some living beings does not affect these potential branches at all. They are insignificant, merely ordinary among the masses."
"But some individuals, due to their disappearance, could lead to major future upheavals and even directly eliminate a vast array of possibilities. Such people are the ’focal variables’."
"Transformation Stone Mother has analyzed many focal variables that have appeared in the simulated worlds, conducting statistics and analysis, and has compiled an effective set of predictive techniques. This Sun Erlang fits certain characteristics of a focal variable."
Chen Tianhai’s thoughts surged, and this was also why he was especially kind to Sun Erlang.
Since the Taiyan Sect had already been discovered, it was inevitably going to ’enter the world’, getting involved in future variables.
It naturally needed to prepare early.
His eyes narrowed, seemingly trying to discern everything happening in the world where Sun Erlang was.
"Just as I expected, three years of hibernation, a rise in one morning, once the momentum is formed, no one can stop it."
"Fortunately, observing his actions, order and reason are still present."
"He is not an ’extreme variable’."
By giving Sun Erlang a simulated opportunity, it also gave the Taiyan Sect a chance to clearly see Sun Erlang’s character.
