Chapter 345: The cycle of fate has officially begun!
Looking at the half-Dao level expert from the Immortal Realm kneeling before him, Jiang Yifeng knew the other had misunderstood!
However, he didn't bother to explain and instead issued a warning.
"Hmph, behave and you'll be fine; otherwise... hehe!"
As he spoke, the tiny soul figure of Jiang Yifeng in the half-Dao expert's Sea of Consciousness also chuckled.
It seemed as if he was about to possess this half-Dao level expert.
The expert from the Immortal Realm was overjoyed to hear there was still a chance and quickly nodded in agreement.
"Yes, yes! Senior, I will definitely obey!"
He seemed to overlook whether this wisp of Jiang Yifeng's soul could really possess him.
After all, he was a half-Dao level expert.
This could only be attributed to Jiang Yifeng's previous overwhelming capture, which had left this half-Dao level expert with preconceived notions.
Naturally, he assumed that since Jiang Yifeng acted this way, this wisp of soul could indeed possess or refine him.
In reality, Jiang Yifeng's bit of soul power couldn't achieve that.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have initially resorted to threatening and controlling these half-Dao level experts with the self-destruction of this soul power.
For now, things were fine as they were.
The half-Dao level expert from the Immortal Realm was overly frightened and misunderstood.
The threat was temporarily unnecessary.
Jiang Yifeng nodded, pointing to a golden Gate No. 9, directing the half-Dao level expert infused with his soul figure to enter and explore.
The expert from the Immortal Realm dared not oppose.
He could only brace himself and step inside.
What happened next, Jiang Yifeng didn't know.
Once the soul figure entered Gate No. 9 with the Immortal Dao expert, it could no longer monitor in real-time.
However, he wasn't in a hurry.
This was all within his expectations.
The soul figure was part of his soul, with a wisp of consciousness!
Even if it couldn't monitor in real-time, it would autonomously investigate the situation beyond the gate.
It could also intimidate and control that half-Dao level expert.
Now, Jiang Yifeng only needed to wait for news!
But he didn't stop there.
There were so many Gate No. 9s.
He needed to explore the situation behind several more "gates"!
Not long after, Jiang Yifeng split off eight more wisps of soul power.
Instantly, eight soul figures appeared.
Using the same method, he controlled eight Immortal Realm experts with these soul figures to explore other Gate No. 9s.
Including the previous soul figure, Jiang Yifeng split off a total of nine soul figures.
Originally, Jiang Yifeng wanted to continue.
After all, there weren't just nine Gate No. 9s.
However, he felt his soul becoming very weak.
After all, every wisp of soul was crucial for a cultivator!
If he continued splitting soul figures, he might risk a decline in his cultivation level.
He had to stop.
In the following time, he didn't stay long in the golden space.
Instead, he returned to the Southern Regions through Gate No. 8.
Quietly waiting for news.
Yet Jiang Yifeng was unaware.
When he split off the soul figures and entered those Gate No. 9s, a figure in a void was observing.
In front of him were numerous images.
Some were of reality, others were parts of Jiang Yifeng's simulation!
Not just the present, but also the past!
In his eyes, reality, simulation, past, present, and future seemed to exist on the same plane.
This person was Liang Zhilei, who had previously deceived Jiang Yifeng.
At this moment, he looked at the images before him, a smile playing on his lips.
He saw Jiang Yifeng's nine soul fragments, following those half-Dao level experts from the Immortal Realm, getting lost in the void.
Eventually, they drifted towards nine small blue planets.
These were nine planets without cultivation civilizations; instead, they believed in science!
Jiang Yifeng's nine wisps of soul drifted for too long, losing their original consciousness.
In the end, they were reborn on those nine blue planets.
After a series of events, the first wisp of Jiang Yifeng's soul was drawn back to the Southern Regions by some will.
It was a tiny wisp of soul, without memories of Blue Star before awakening.
It only believed itself to be a transmigrator!
...
Seeing this, Liang Zhilei's lips curled as he murmured, "The cycle of fate has officially begun!"
He glanced again at the image of Jiang Yifeng's original body.
Whispering, "My fellow countryman, this is all I can do to help you!"
"If you don't deceive all beings, if you don't deceive fate, how else can you steal the authority of destiny?"
"I'm waiting for you in the Primordial, don't disappoint me!"
As he finished speaking, a massive chain of rules in the void struck towards Liang Zhilei.
He pursed his lips, not resisting, only sighing, "Damn Primordial Rules!"
Then, Liang Zhilei was swept away by the chain of rules.
At the last moment, he left two sentences: "Sisters of all realms, wait for me!"
"Sisters of the Primordial, I'm back..."
Jiang Yifeng was completely unaware of all this.
At this moment, he was still waiting in the simulation.
Waiting for the soul fragments he split off to bring back information from beyond Gate No. 9.
He didn't know that those soul fragments had long since reincarnated.
One could say, looking at it now, Jiang Yifeng's original body was born from the reincarnation of those split soul fragments.
Under Liang Zhilei's manipulation, Jiang Yifeng strangely completed a personal cycle; a closed loop!
Time passed!
At the moment of the world's destruction, Jiang Yifeng also returned to Gate No. 8!
Well, he hadn't intended to go inside.
After all, he could survive in the void for a while.
But Jiang Yifeng saw Gate No. 8 trying to escape!
He couldn't tolerate that.
He had no choice but to go inside and hide.
Returning to the golden space, Jiang Yifeng felt a bit troubled.
He didn't dare stay long in the golden space.
But now, if he didn't stay here, what could he do?
Should he risk exploring those Gate No. 9s?
After a long silence, he decided he needed to personally return to reality to verify.
Otherwise, he couldn't simulate with peace of mind.
According to his deduction, he had stayed in the golden space for about half a year.
If the time in the golden space was consistent with reality, then about half a year should have passed in reality.
Otherwise, his previous speculations were wrong.
The time in the golden space and reality were inconsistent.
Then he could safely cultivate in the golden space.
With this in mind, Jiang Yifeng didn't hesitate.
He silently uttered, "End deep simulation!"
[Ding, deep simulation ended!]
Jiang Yifeng's consciousness returned to reality.
He slowly opened his eyes.
He saw Little Peach lying beside him.
Sensing Jiang Yifeng's movement, Little Peach woke up with a start!
Then she threw herself into Jiang Yifeng's arms.
"Wow... Young Master, you're finally awake!"
Jiang Yifeng patted Little Peach's head, speaking softly.
"Don't cry, why are you in my room?"
He had a bad feeling.
He felt that perhaps a long time had indeed passed in reality.
Perhaps the time in the golden space was indeed the same as in reality.
However, Jiang Yifeng didn't jump to conclusions.
He held onto a sliver of hope!
Maybe Little Peach had entered his room on the same day he began the deep simulation?
Maybe it was still that day!
Well... although the possibility was slim.
Hearing Jiang Yifeng's words, Little Peach cried even harder.
She choked out, "Wuwu... Young Master, you've been asleep for over half a year, and Little Peach has been taking care of you all this time!"
"You really scared Little Peach!"
"No, no, and Master!"
"Master saw you hadn't woken for over half a year; he's now searching the world for someone to save you..."
...
Little Peach seemed to have endless things to say, lying on Jiang Yifeng, pouring out her heart.
Hearing Little Peach's words, Jiang Yifeng's heart finally sank!
It was confirmed; the time in the golden space was indeed consistent with reality.
Now what should he do?
Jiang Yifeng comforted Little Peach a bit, then instructed her to inform his family that he had awakened.
To reassure them.
Of course, this was just an excuse for Jiang Yifeng.
The real reason he found an excuse to send Little Peach away was because there was a problem with the simulation.
When he ended the deep simulation, this time the simulation encountered an issue.
Several lines of text appeared before him.
[The space within Gate No. 8 where you reside is a layer between simulation and reality!]
[The time flow is consistent with reality!]
[You...]
[Time progress is too slow, simulation text extraction loading... Suggest host check back in a few decades...]
...
Seeing these lines, Jiang Yifeng frowned.
Great, it's over!
What he feared had happened.
The simulator extracts the essence, sometimes only a few lines for decades or even billions of years.
It doesn't show detailed daily life.
Now, in the simulation, the time in the golden space is consistent with reality.
It's equivalent to however long passes in reality, the same passes in the simulation.
Now, only a few minutes have passed in reality, and the same in the simulation.
But the events of a few minutes, once ignored by the simulator's daily filter and extracted, leave nothing!
This results in the simulator having no text to display, prompting a loading message!
This is almost like freezing the simulator!
Jiang Yifeng frowned slightly, murmuring to himself, "This is troublesome!"
In the current situation, he must have the simulated version of himself leave the golden space.
Otherwise, it would not only waste time in the simulation but also in reality!
But what should he do?
Now, it seemed there were only two paths left for him.
Either continue to venture in the simulation, exploring those Gate No. 9s!
Or end himself in the simulation!
Die early to catch the next simulation?
But neither seemed like a good solution!
