Chapter 184: Talent - Simulator, Talent - Insight of All Things
【You are dead】
【Your talent, Ancient God Resistance (Blue), has been upgraded to Ancient God Resistance (Purple)】
Emperor True Dragon looked at the three blood-red words "You are dead" displayed by his Lord Talent called Simulator, and his expression was grim.
"Are Ancient Gods truly that powerful?" Emperor True Dragon muttered to himself.
His original name was Zhu Ming, the emperor of the Great Yan Dynasty. After the world's destruction, he came to the Magic Continent and became a lord. He then awakened the talent called Simulator, which allowed him to continuously simulate the future, gaining the upper hand and acquiring corresponding talents as a supplement.
His Holy Dragon Nest was obtained through multiple simulations at the beginning.
However, these Simulator talents could not evolve through sublimation baptism; they could only evolve through simulation.
Despite this, he had gained a large number of Flash Gold talents, which were the highest-level talents, through continuous simulations.
Talents were divided into seven grades: White, Green, Blue, Purple, Orange, Red, and Flash Gold.
Currently, there were only these seven grades, but there should be more as he continuously sublimated his talents. However, as his rank increased, the cooldown time for the Simulator talent became longer and longer.
When he was a 1st-rank lord, the cooldown time for the Simulator talent was only 10 seconds, but now, as a 6th-rank lord, the cooldown time was 12 hours.
This meant he could only simulate twice a day.
Recently, Zhu Ming encountered a very unfortunate event: his deathly tribulation, and it was the kind that he could not avoid.
Although he often died during simulations in the past, he speculated that this was due to his Simulator talent being envied by the heavens, resulting in a high death rate in simulations. However, he managed to quickly strengthen himself and counter these dangers through the Simulator and the talents he gained.
This time, however, was different. The awakening of the Ancient Gods left him completely defenseless. Every time, he died at the hands of the Ancient Gods. He had simulated this deathly tribulation dozens of times, and although the outcomes varied, he always ended up dead. Even his Ancient God Resistance talent was upgraded through these simulations.
"Fortunately, I still have a year. I still have a chance," Zhu Ming did not give up. A year was indeed sufficient.
He was currently only a 6th-rank lord, but he was confident that he could succeed once he reached the 7th rank.
Moreover, with a year, two simulations a day, he could simulate 600 times, which was enough to find a way to break the deadlock.
"It's a pity I don't have any dungeon scrolls. If I had enough dungeon scrolls, I could obtain an X-grade evaluation reward, and perhaps I could break the deadlock."
Above SSS-grade evaluations was the X-grade evaluation.
The X-grade evaluation was the ultimate evaluation, with nothing higher. He could also simulate dungeon scrolls with his Simulator talent, which was how he obtained the X-grade evaluation.
Unlike SSS-grade evaluations, which offered only ten rewards, X-grade evaluations provided all rewards. Below X-grade, rewards were randomly selected from ten options, ensuring items such as class change certificates, class expansion slots, building blueprints, and resources.
"Perhaps killing Lord Withered Gentleman and Demon Subduing Scholar, and acquiring their domain's strength, would be enough?" Zhu Ming's expression was gloomy.
He never expected that the combined resources of Lord Jiang Tian and Sea Dragon King were insufficient to help him reach the 7th rank, let alone resist the awakening of the Ancient Gods.
Indeed, these two 6th-rank lords did not leave; they were killed by Zhu Ming, and he obtained all their buildings and resources.
With the Simulator, he had undergone dozens of simulations to find the perfect plan to eliminate them.
Others believed that these two had left through class change certificates, but in reality, no one suspected that they had been killed by him.
At first, facing Lord Jiang Tian and Sea Dragon King, who were traitors, was quite challenging, and he died many times due to the envy of the heavens. However, with continuous simulations, he acquired various corresponding talents and continuously refined his plans, ultimately eliminating these two lords without their domains noticing.
"If only the Red Wind Lord could be of use to me, my Ministry of Works is still short of a minister," Zhu Ming sighed.
In every simulation, he tried to recruit the Red Wind Lord, but it never worked. If he used force, the Red Wind Lord would self-destruct, plunging the entire Magic Continent into a terrifying wasteland, leading to the premature awakening of the Ancient Gods and the destruction of the world, leaving no lord alive.
Before the awakening of the Ancient Gods, Zhu Ming had considered this idea. However, at that time, the 6th-rank server of the Magic Continent had already collapsed. The 7th-rank server could still hold up, but it was under the combined pressure of being cornered and the awakening of the Ancient Gods. The 6th-rank server simply couldn't withstand it. Otherwise, he wouldn't have allowed Qin Muye to wander around outside.
But that was fine. He speculated that once the server reached the 8th rank, Qin Muye's self-destruction would no longer be effective. Then he would see what Qin Muye could do.
"The tenfold amplification of Lord Withered Gentleman has been exposed, and it is indeed most suitable for the Undead race. I wonder what Scholar Demon Subduing's initial talent is." Zhu Ming had fought these two countless times in the Simulator, but he never managed to uncover their talents.
As for the others, he didn't really care about them.
Scholar Demon Subduing held his tea and glanced at the devil hero beside him, a smile playing in his mind.
【A powerful devil is attempting to deceive you into relinquishing power through manipulation.】
Looking at the devil, a string of text appeared in his eyes. This was his talent, Insight of All Things. Not only could it reveal others' thoughts and potential, but it also provided warnings about opportunities and dangers. After multiple sublimation baptisms, the warnings became more detailed and could even serve as an identification skill.
Thanks to this, when he first arrived on the Magic Continent, he obtained the Sinful Temple, a top-tier domain, through the text warnings provided by Insight of All Things. He could also chat and laugh with the treacherous devils, only to turn around and suppress them.
Among the 1000 lords of the Magic Continent server, he was the first to establish a domain, though there was no reward for it. By recruiting devils and gradually growing stronger, he combined political intrigue with his own strength to suppress the devil race.
If it weren't for the devils' tendency to betray, they would have been a powerful troop. Below the Sinful Temple was an entrance to the Netherworld. This was not the Hell from Qin Muye's horror world but a special space similar to an underground world, inhabited by devils and demons.
This was the source of Scholar Demon Subduing's troops and heroes. He had long suppressed and developed this Netherworld into a sub-domain, turning the entire Netherworld into his backyard.
Although he could easily suppress the devil and demon races with his current strength, he understood that these races needed vitality—conspiracy and violence. Otherwise, they would turn from wolves eating meat into dogs eating feces, possibly not loyal, but definitely less powerful.
Fortunately, Scholar Demon Subduing didn't mind. For him, whether it was conspiracy or violence, he could control the situation. Thus, he played mind games with the devil race and wrestled with the demon race. Even if these races harbored resentment, they still served him loyally.
He didn't care about their loyalty, only their value and interests.
Of course, his domain wasn't limited to these two races; it included others as well.
"Aira Che's progress on the frontier seems slow. Go and lend a hand." Scholar Demon Subduing said slowly.
The devil hero in front of him wanted power, and he gave it to him. Whether he could actually obtain it was up to his own abilities. The more intense the struggle, the more stable his domain would be.
"Thank you, my lord." The devil hero's eyes flashed with a glint of cunning. For him, political intrigue was no problem; the key was the delegation of power.
With the text warnings from Insight of All Things, Scholar Demon Subduing easily balanced his entire domain and continuously improved his own strength through these competitions.
After the devil hero left, Scholar Demon Subduing took out a random dungeon scroll.
"This is truly a good thing, but unfortunately, it's the last one. Well, I'll strengthen myself after clearing it and obtaining the X-grade reward. The awakening of the Ancient Gods seems a bit off."
With the text warnings, obtaining an X-grade evaluation was a piece of cake. He also realized through Insight of All Things that things were not simple and that he needed to strengthen himself quickly.
After using the random dungeon scroll, Scholar Demon Subduing's figure vanished, heading to the dungeon world.
