With Cultivation Simulator in a Chaotic World-Chapter 79: Divine Object

"Come quickly..."

"Come quickly!"

"Ah! Why am I here?"

"Heh heh, my dear lady, huh? How come it’s another man, well, I’ll make do..."

"Come on, young one."

"Come quickly!"

"Another newcomer..."

"Just a little guy who just reached Foundation Establishment, what a pity..."

"It’s okay, child, come quickly..."

"Come!"

"Join us and become one with us!"

Countless demonic voices surrounded, filled with men, women, old and young; seductive female voices, deep male voices, and dignified elderly voices mixed with gentle whispers like a mother’s, along with children softly humming nursery rhymes.

Numerous voices continued to resonate by his ears, as if dozens, or even hundreds of different people were whispering around Zhu Chen.

The voices were chaotic and plentiful, yet inexplicably each was crystal clear, so clear that Zhu Chen’s head seemed about to explode.

"Get out! Get out!"

"You hurry up, get away from me!!!"

"Thud!"

Zhu Chen’s knees collapsed onto the ground, hands grabbing his head fiercely, and he began to pound the ground desperately.

"Thud—Thud—"

If a mortal’s head faced such force, it would have shattered long ago; even as a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, Zhu Chen’s head bled profusely as he created a pit in the ground.

"Zhu Chen!! What’s wrong with you!"

"Damn Demon Dao, they still had a contingency!"

"No matter! Five Elements Dragon Suppressing Array, activate!"

"Stop! Fellow Zhu Chen can still be saved!"

Outside voices crowded into Zhu Chen’s ears, but were quickly subsumed by the demonic sound beside him.

Zhu Chen lifted his dazed head, the world appeared all too blurry.

"What has happened!" A powerful figure floated from afar.

It was Master Fuyang; upon seeing the scene, his expression abruptly changed.

"Zhu Chen!"

"Master Fuyang Elder, Zhu Chen was hit by the Blood Sea Sect’s contingency!"

"Master Fuyang Elder!"

The Foundation Establishment cultivators momentarily paused seeing Master Fuyang arriving, but the Five Elements Temple’s cultivators opening the array hadn’t stopped.

Master Fuyang stared wide-eyed at the almost deranged Zhu Chen, incredulous.

Zhu Chen had always practiced the Meditation Technique, externally calm and composed, with little emotional fluctuation in any circumstance, though lacking talent, his character was persistently resolute...

"How... how could this be..."

"Zhu Chen! Wake up!"

Master Fuyang widened his eyes suddenly, pouring True Essence recklessly into the magic pathway, forming seals with his hand, and uttering a sound like thunder.

An adept in various magics, Master Fuyang attempted to use mind-awakening auxiliary magic to rouse Zhu Chen.

The Meditation Technique was fully deployed, Zhu Chen barely regained some consciousness, but this momentary awareness was quickly swallowed.

Countless black tentacles emerged from his Dantian, crawling over Zhu Chen’s body.

These tentacles greedily absorbed Zhu Chen’s True Essence, his vitality, took everything from him.

At this moment.

Zhu Chen’s body paused, inexplicably a force injected into his mind, clearing Zhu Chen’s thoughts.

"Want my body! Dream on!!"

In Zhu Chen’s eyes, red and blue flames transformed into fire serpents that flew out; his last True Essence and Essence Blood burned, Zhu Chen instantly became engulfed in blazing flames.

"Boom————"

"Array activate!!!"

The flames roared; concurrently, the people of Five Elements Temple set up a simple grand array, a five-colored light curtain flickering, blocking the flames.

Master Fuyang tightly clenched his fists, stepped forward involuntarily, lips slightly moved, seemingly wanting to say something.

Surrounding people watched the central array with shock and confusion.

A barrier like an overturned bowl enveloped the ground, within the barrier were endless flames.

Not knowing how much time had passed, the flames gradually dissipated.

Within the array, only a dark fragment remained, nothing else, Zhu Chen had disappeared therein.

The fragment appeared to be a missing corner of some artifact, with unknown black patterns radiating faint luminescence, seemingly some rune, its material completely indiscernible...

[Daqi Calendar 1781, you were possessed by a God-Demon List Fragment, you chose self-immolation, burning yourself wholly, unwilling to be taken.]

[You died.]

Jiang Ming watched the simulation, panting heavily.

Earlier, Zhu Chen could temporarily regain clarity, thanks to Jiang Ming’s intervention.

Apart from fixed event selections, Jiang Ming could influence his choices within the simulated life somewhat; he had intervened quite a bit previously.

Yet, never had it been as exhausting as today.

"What... what is this thing! God... God-Demon List?"

Jiang Ming’s eyes focused on the scroll’s words, his gaze somewhat unsteady.

[Simulation ended, entering simulation summary]

[Cultivation: Early-Stage Foundation Establishment]

[Cultivation Technique: Celestial Demon Heart Devouring Technique (Auxiliary Chapter), Meditation Technique, Blazing Ice Flame Technique, Ice Flame Slash, Red Fire Sword, Roaring Wind, Evil-Breaking Talisman... Basic-level Talisman Refining (five types of Basic-level Talismans)... Long Fire Spear, Radiant Fire Skill... Flame Shield, Fire Serpent Skill, Great Fireball Skill...

[Jiuzhou Influence: Foundation Establishment Elders·Hero·Divine Object Connection]

[Evaluation: Having been reborn, you endured numerous hardships, finally reaching Foundation Establishment, advancing the second step on the Immortal Dao; however, encountering a divine object led to your demise.]

[Simulation Final Rating: Upper A·Special Achievement*1]

[Remaining simulation attempts this cycle: 3]

[To start a new simulation this cycle requires Spirit Points: 40]

"Special Achievement? Divine Object?"

Jiang Ming furrowed his brows.

He seemed to have discovered another aspect of the simulator.

Divine Object was indeed that God-Demon List, a rather sinister item; based on Zhu Chen’s experience, those voice figures seemed to be countless wills or souls attached to the God-Demon List Fragment—purely a demonic entity...

Special Achievements are easier to comprehend; Jiang Ming’s previous life’s games often included hidden accomplishments. Prior evaluations of the nine influence types were general achievements, whereas Divine Object Connection was a hidden achievement.

[Achieved Upper A Evaluation, simulation automatically submitted...]

[Character Card generation in progress...]

Jiang Ming was a bit taken aback, a wry smile emerging.

Though an Upper A evaluation, the simulation contained other facets worth exploring.

Such as Zhu Chen, who could continue cultivating; despite limited talent, a hundred years’ investment could likely reach Mid-Stage Foundation Establishment.

Moreover, Zhu Chen had just broken into Foundation Establishment, prematurely involved in a great battle, never mastering Foundation Establishment Stage magic skills.
