Chapter 395: Brother, Can You Accompany Me?

In the end, the Red Dragon turned grief and indignation into appetite, drinking all of the True Dragon Immortal Wine.

He got dead drunk.

He drank until he was completely unconscious, oblivious to all dragon affairs.

That slumped, deep-sleeping posture was enough to make anyone laugh.

Xu Xi scanned the Red Dragon's residence, looked at the dragon's body once more, and after leaving some cultivation resources for him, traversed through space back to Yanshan City.

…

After that.

Time continued to flow.

With the increase in simulation attempts and hard cultivation in reality, Xu Xi's strength gradually reached a limit.

Multiple supernatural systems coexisted within his body.

He could see the path ahead.

Yet he could not reach the Supreme peak.

Whether it was Immortal Cultivation or Magic, no matter the system, he was stuck one step before the Supreme level, or even at a more distant Realm.

No matter what, he could not become Supreme.

"Is it a lack of time?"

"Or is it a lack of tempering?"

Xu Xi thought for a long time and felt it was related to the simulator he possessed.

He returned once more to the Sea of Possibilities.

He tried to step onto the path.

He felt that the key to achieving the Supreme level might be this path.

However, he failed.

No matter what Xu Xi did, he still couldn't get close to the path, just like before. It seemed he lacked something to complete the final ascent.

"Exactly what is missing…"

"Strength? Heart-Nature? Status? Or… time?"

Xu Xi called up the simulator panel and stared at it for a very long time.

Every single word on it.

Including the corners of the screen.

They were all in their most familiar forms, with no changes, except for that line showing the natural cooldown time for simulation attempts.

It was a natural cooldown of ten thousand days in real-world time.

So long that it left one feeling helpless.

Because the time was too long, Xu Xi's new simulation attempts were all exchanged by topping up with supernatural items.

"Could it be this?"

Xu Xi was thoughtful, guessing that this might be the correct answer.

…

"Brother's guess is very likely to come true."

"I agree with the Mentor's viewpoint."

"In that case, I will wait together with Sir."

"Master, do you want some soup?"

"Anyway, I will protect Lord Wizard."

After hearing Xu Xi's guess, the five girls felt it made a lot of sense and decided to wait together.

They were equally curious.

What the truth and essence of Xu Xi's omnipotent 'Reincarnation' really was.

What its origins were.

…

To make the ten-thousand-day countdown end as quickly as possible.

Xu Xi reduced the number of simulations.

He spent more time on the real world's Earth.

But occasionally, he would also accompany the girls for a brief relaxation within a simulation.

Compared to the real world.

Life simulations had many conveniences, such as being able to freely choose the heavens one wanted to visit, and the lack of any real threat to one's life.

"Brother, can you accompany me once?"

As if by prior agreement.

No one else appeared; only Xu Moli, on a gorgeous and bright morning, made a simulation request to Xu Xi.

"Of course."

Xu Xi agreed with a smile.

Not long after.

Xu Xi started the life simulation, and together with Xu Moli, they arrived in a Mortal world.

There were no Cultivators here, no Magicians, and certainly no Martial Artists or Wizards.

Simple and plain.

Nothing special; only Mortals lived here, very much like the ancient periods of Earth's Huaxia.

Xu Xi and Xu Moli settled down temporarily, living the lives of Mortals in the form of Mortals. It was plain and mundane, as if dreaming back to the early stages of the first simulation.

"Does Brother think I'm very strange?"

"No."

Hearing Xu Xi's answer, a slight smile blossomed on Xu Moli's face. She sat on an old wooden threshold, her finger gently tracing circles.

In the scorching summer, waves of heat rolled by.

Pedestrians in the city all walked in a hurry.

Xu Moli watched the scene and explained to Xu Xi with a light laugh why she had chosen such a Mortal world:

"Brother still remembers, right?"

"When we were at the amusement park, Brother said he had always felt sorry toward me."

"Because Brother felt that life in Blackstone City was too poor and bitter."

"Brother wanted me to live better, wanted me to be happy, wanted me to have endless candy, so you took me to the Heavenly Sword Sect…"

"But I…"

The beautiful figure sat on the threshold.

Her feet, which used to swing back and forth because of the height difference, could now only rest on the ground due to her increased leg length.

Her voice echoed, filled with countless thoughts.

There was regret, resentment, love, and pain.

"Brother, I am always dragging you down."

"In Blackstone City, I caused a lot of trouble while trying to help. At the Heavenly Sword Sect, I was your burden."

"I really don't want it to be like that…"

With a slightly lonely expression, the girl's figure began to lean, her head naturally resting on Xu Xi's shoulder.

"From that time on, I have been thinking."

"If there were no calamity of heaven, and if there were no Cultivators, would the life of Brother and me have been a bit better?"

"Living out a Mortal's life in a Mortal state."

Hearing this.

Xu Xi already understood the girl's purpose for specifically choosing a Mortal world.

He reached out and rubbed the top of the girl's head. "A very willful thought."

"But Brother will agree to Mo Li's request, right?"

"Yes."

"I knew it, Brother is the best to me," the Female Immortal's tone was slightly playful, and the upward curve of her lips was very beautiful.

She became even more unscrupulous.

Directly hugging Xu Xi's arm.

She spoke the thought that had remained unchanged since childhood: "Life is too troublesome. Mo Li only wants to be with Brother. I don't need friends, and I don't want to consider anything else."

Flick—

"Brother, that hurts~~~"

Xu Xi helplessly withdrew his finger, his tone carrying a hint of a lecture: "Mo Li, besides me, you still have to consider some other things."

"No one's life is destined to be lived for another person."

"I know," the girl nodded obediently.

As for whether she truly agreed or just feigned it, only she herself knew.

After that.

Xu Xi and Xu Moli continued to chat. Xu Moli asked a question: "Brother, when you saved me back then, what were you thinking?"

What was I thinking…

Xu Xi recalled the process of saving her in the first simulation and looked toward the distant blue sky. "It was very chaotic then. If I have to say, I actually didn't have any thoughts."

"None?"

"Yeah. I simply wanted to save you, so I did it."

The summer light was exceptionally bright, making the streets silent and casting intermittent spots of light.

Xu Moli rested on Xu Xi's shoulder, watching this summer tranquility.

Indeed.

No one's life is destined to be lived for another person.

Unless that so-called life is only maintained because of that person's existence.
