Chapter 391: At Worst, Sink the Central Continent!

[Tenth year of simulation, you are 25 years old]

[You dominate all the Prodigies of the current age; some speculate that perhaps only the descendants of a Great Emperor could compete with you]

[Eleventh year of simulation, you are 26 years old]

[Your strength has spread throughout the five regions of the Tianxuan Realm]

[An Imperial Scion has emerged from seclusion to challenge you; on that day, a corner of the Central Continent crumbled due to your great battle]

["At worst, I'll sink the Central Continent!"]

[Those watching from afar heard that Imperial Scion's voice, filled with shame and rage]

[But in the end, it was still you who emerged victorious]

[Twelfth year of simulation, you are 27 years old]

[Taking five years, with your diligent efforts and amidst the stunned expressions of countless people, you broke through from the Dao Severing Realm to the Saint Realm]

[You bathed in the Dao Tribulation Divine Lightning, unharmed, and even inversely absorbed the power of the Lightning Tribulation, turning it into your own new Vision]

[Divine Might overwhelming the world, you are invincible]

[The Human Race of the Central Continent was silent; after a long time, someone described the scene of your enlightenment as follows]

["Who stands at the Peak at the end of the Emperor's path? Upon meeting Xu Xi, the Dao becomes void!"]

[Thirteenth year of simulation, you are 28 years old]

[Approaching thirty, your Heavenly Mandate Physique transformed once again, absorbing your Luck, Dao principles, and past to achieve the unique Heavenly Mandate Indestructible Physique of all ages]

[Breaking through from the Saint Realm to the Emperor Realm is no less difficult than ascending to heaven]

[But you looked at your Heavenly Mandate Indestructible Physique, then at the girls beside you, and felt it wasn't too difficult]

[As long as you are given time]

[You have the confidence to break through to the Emperor Realm]

…

Ancient Great Emperor.

In the Realm divisions of the Tianxuan Realm, this is an extremely weighty Realm.

Powerful.

Immortal.

Suppressing the current age.

The strongest being revered by all races.

But for Xu Xi, becoming a Great Emperor was an inevitability.

Heavenly Mandate Protagonist (Red): You are the darling of the world, possessing Comprehension Ability, talent, Physique, and Luck all in one. You are the protagonist ordained by the Heavenly Dao and will eventually reach the Peak of the world.

Tianxuan Realm · Central Continent.

In a quiet valley.

Xu Xi summoned the simulator panel and looked at the red trait on it, falling into slight contemplation.

"I have to say, red traits are indeed powerful."

"In just thirteen years, I've cultivated to the Saint Realm, which is second only to the Emperor Realm in the Tianxuan Realm."

"However…"

"According to the description of the Heavenly Mandate Protagonist trait, this inhuman cheating effect seems limited to within the Tianxuan Realm. Beyond that, I'll have to rely on myself."

Xu Xi murmured to himself.

He didn't feel regretful about this.

Nothing in the world is perfect.

If he could truly reach the heavens in one step and instantly transform into a Supreme Realm, Xu Xi would instead suspect if he had fallen into some kind of illusion.

"Anyway, the gains from this simulation are already substantial enough."

"Strength, Visions, Divine Abilities, and Physique are all maxed out."

"For me, breaking through to the Emperor Realm is only a matter of time; there's no need to be too urgent."

Xu Xi stood up.

Walking toward other parts of the valley.

"The weather today seems quite nice…"

The dazzling sunlight shone on the hazy mist in the valley, scattering the light and blurring the interior.

Xu Xi extended his thumb and index finger.

With just the right amount of force, he pinched a green leaf blown by the wind.

"What do you think, Sevia?"

Xu Xi looked back.

The platinum-haired knight was following behind him, fulfilling her duty as a protector.

It was a luster like the golden sun, flowing like light and waterfalls, gently spreading over the girl's back, rippling like the surface of water.

Very beautiful.

And very quiet.

"I think so too, Lord Wizard," Sevia took two quick steps to walk side-by-side with Xu Xi.

Although her voice was soft, her face was very serious.

"Sevia, you can relax a bit. This isn't Earth; it won't cause me to truly die."

"…Yes."

Xu Xi saw the Hero's restraint.

He smiled.

He gently rubbed the Hero's cheek with his hand.

Then he looked toward the sky, watching a flock of birds fly over the distant treetops, spreading their wings toward the sunlight.

His fingers loosened.

The leaf danced.

The green leaf previously held by Xu Xi took flight with the wind again, mixing with the countless flying leaves in the valley to form a dazzling spectacle.

The wind hit Xu Xi's face, making his cheeks feel slightly cool.

"Sevia."

"Yes, I am here."

"I'm really sorry for asking for your help so soon after our reunion."

The Hero was stunned for a moment.

Then, her expression gradually softened, appearing nostalgic and relieved:

"Lord Wizard, you really haven't changed at all."

"Even when you've done nothing wrong, you always feel you haven't done enough."

As she spoke.

Sevia put her hands behind her back, her fingers intertwining nervously as she looked down and kicked at the ground.

"Actually…"

She paused.

"You don't need to apologize to me because, compared to you, I owe far too much."

"And—"

"Lord Wizard," the girl suddenly looked up, her watery emerald eyes like bright, sparkling emeralds, showing Xu Xi a hint of tenderness.

"I really like it here."

"Although it's not the world I'm familiar with."

"But being able to go on an adventure with you again makes me very happy."

"The sun here is bright, and the flowers and grass are vibrant. No one will be denied peace after death. I really like an adventure like this."

"I like adventuring with Lord Wizard."

The girl's answer was so firm.

Filled with attachment, dependence, and a kind of pure joy.

"Is that so… then I'm relieved."

Xu Xi gazed at Sevia.

Facing that familiar face, he recalled many related past events.

He smiled with gratification, stroking the top of the girl's head with gentle force, smoothing her long platinum hair that had been ruffled by the wind.

As for owing anything.

Xu Xi didn't take it to heart.

He had never thought of demanding the Hero do anything to repay his kindness.

But the Hero didn't seem to think so.

Filled with guilt, she told Xu Xi that if he needed to study her Supreme Status, she would definitely cooperate fully.

Her body, her Soul, her everything.

All could be studied by Xu Xi.

"There's no need for that, Sevia. I've felt your heart," Xu Xi smiled and comforted the girl, telling her not to feel guilty.

Speaking of which.

Did the temperature in the valley suddenly drop?

…

[Fourteenth year of simulation, you are 29 years old]

[As a rare powerhouse of the Saint Realm, your popularity in the Tianxuan Realm is extremely high; Goddesses and Saintesses are making eyes at you]

[After some time, the old news of your marriage has spread throughout the Tianxuan Realm once again]

[Everyone in the world knows you have a fiancée]

[Wu Yingxue solemnly promised you once again that she would definitely find the person spreading the rumors]

[Fifteenth year of simulation, you are 30 years old]

[Your cultivation has become even more profound; everywhere you go, all races retreat in fear, but you have not become arrogant because of this]

[You know well that the Saint Realm is only the beginning]

[To achieve a Breakthrough in your Bottleneck, you entered the Outer Starry Sky to battle with true pure-blooded Divine Beasts and even those with Quasi-Emperor combat power]
