Chapter 435: When Will the dayun Arrive?

Yanshan City.

The sky was like a boundless lake, azure and serene.

As white clouds drifted, the wind brushed through the lush leaves of the Courtyard, causing sunlight to filter through the gaps and scatter into bright spots on the ground.

Xu Xi sat in a corner of the Courtyard.

Before him stood the five Supreme beings, all prepared and dressed in their distinct attire.

"Brother, we are ready."

"Lord Wizard, please rest assured, I will protect you."

Xu Moli summoned her blood-stained Wooden Sword, Klisa summoned her charred Magic Wand, and the other Supremes also summoned their handy weapons or means.

They were prepared to continue protecting Xu Xi…

…in this simulation.

According to the deductions of Xu Xi and the five girls, this simulation was very likely to involve the true essence of the life simulator; even if not, something extremely important would occur.

Therefore,

the girls simply couldn't feel at ease letting Xu Xi undergo the simulation alone.

They decided to accompany him.

To witness the final outcome together with Xu Xi.

"I'll have to trouble everyone," Xu Xi said with a smile, his gaze sweeping across the faces of his sister, the witch, the princess, the Mech-Servant, and the hero, expressing his gratitude to them.

After that,

he focused his attention on the simulator panel before him.

The panel shimmered with a faint light, and the countdown grew smaller at a slow yet steady pace.

Thirty minutes, twenty minutes, ten minutes.

Before long,

only a few minutes remained on the panel's countdown.

The ticking of seconds was like a bird gliding across the sky, or a flash of lightning passing by—seemingly empty, yet as if containing everything within.

Involuntarily,

many memories and reflections sprang up in Xu Xi's mind.

He clearly remembered his pathetic state when he sat in a wheelchair, and the changes after obtaining the simulator; real-life moments intertwined with simulated experiences to collectively shape who he was today.

"Blackstone City, Heavenly Sword Sect, Alenson City, Apogu City, Qingniu Town…"

"Time is too thin, and the gaps between fingers are too wide."

"I didn't feel much while experiencing it, but looking back now, I realize how much time has passed. In my memory, everything feels like it was just yesterday…"

Suddenly, a notification sound from the simulator interrupted Xu Xi's reminiscence.

[Simulation cooldown has ended]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining a simulation attempt. Would you like to proceed with the simulation?]

[Current available simulations: 1]

The countdown on the simulator panel reached zero, and then the numbers blurred, turning into a familiar set of inquiry text.

Asking Xu Xi whether to start the simulation.

Xu Xi noticed a change.

This time, the simulator no longer wished him a wonderful simulated life.

"…Is it because the current me is already living a wonderful life?" Xu Xi thought thoughtfully, then gave a slight nod to the girls, signaling that the simulation cooldown was over.

"Sir, hurry and start, I can't wait anymore!"

The impatient Wu Yingxue urged.

"Alright, I'll start now."

Xu Xi paused briefly, scanning the simulator panel to confirm no details were missed before selecting the 'Start Simulation' button.

[Simulation starting…]

[Worldline deduction in progress…]

[Locked onto a transmigratable world, analyzed as ??? world]

[trait generation in progress. trait generation complete. Please select a trait as the character talent for this simulated life]

[trait Rank unknown]

[trait information unknown]

[Only ???? trait can be selected for this simulation. Confirm?]

There were no so-called Red or Gold traits.

Even the lowest-tier White traits did not exist.

The only thing Xu Xi could see and select was a mysterious trait completely filled with question marks and garbled code.

"What does this mean?"

"An unknown world and an unknown trait??"

"Are there specific conditions required to trigger the actual content?"

Xu Xi was very confused.

This was the first time he had seen a screen full of question marks and unknowns in the trait selection of the life simulator.

But this didn't hinder the simulation from proceeding.

If anything, it was precisely this screen full of unknowns that made Xu Xi more certain that this simulation would yield great rewards.

"Mo Li, Klisa, Yingxue, Ele, Sevia."

"I'm about to start."

Xu Xi spoke to warn them.

Allowing the girls to prepare to follow.

"Please rest assured, Mentor," Klisa nodded seriously, her indifferent face illuminated by the sunlight, blooming with a unique beauty.

The others were the same, silently mobilizing their Supreme power.

Space-time lockdown.

Karma severing.

The large Courtyard was isolated from Earth.

Seeing this, Xu Xi quickly selected the [???] trait and, amidst the screen full of unknowns, began the final simulation.

[trait selection complete. Start simulation?]

"Confirm."

As Xu Xi confirmed, the myriad phenomena before his eyes began to twist.

Rising.

Leaping.

From the center point of his field of vision, an endless vortex began to rotate, collapsing into an ultimate, pitch-black point.

Xu Xi waited for his consciousness to detach.

But this simulation was too peculiar; not only was the world unknown and the trait unknown, but even the way the simulation started involved his physical body.

*Buzz—*

Amidst intense space-time turbulence,

both Xu Xi's body and Soul vanished from the Courtyard together.

Leaving only the girls behind, their eyes wide with shock.

[Simulation number ?? officially begins]

[You open your eyes and find yourself sitting in a corner of the Courtyard]

[You do not see Xu Moli's figure, nor Klisa's; the Supremes who were supposed to follow you are nowhere to be found]

[You discover with surprise]

[That your body actually retains its full status and power]

[You feel confused by this]

The world fell into a standstill; all things were absolutely still.

Just as the simulator had described.

Xu Xi stood in the empty, silent simulated Earth, his expression exceptionally surprised, unable to fathom why he was the only one here and why he was simulating with his true body.

"Should I say it's expected of the long-awaited simulation?"

"The world is unknown, the trait is unknown, and even the Supremes were kept out."

Xu Xi remarked with emotion.

He composed his emotions well.

Although he lacked the protection of the Supremes, if he could enter with his true body, he didn't fear any danger.

"According to the process, next should be the dayun, right?"

Xu Xi muttered to himself.

Standing in place, he waited for a heavy truck to fall from the sky.

But after standing for a while, he noticed no movement; more accurately, the entire Earth in the simulated world was in a state of absolute silence.

There were no living creatures.

Only the natural echoes of wind blowing across the land and the rising and falling of tides.

"Strange, is there no need for a dayun collision in this simulation?"

With doubt in his heart,

Xu Xi walked out of the Courtyard.

Possessing his full strength, he walked freely across the simulated Earth; every step he took was a condensation of a vast distance.

"Speaking of which, this is the first time I've toured the simulated Earth."

"In previous simulations, I was always quickly transferred to other worlds and had no time to observe."

Empty.

Quiet.

Earth was in absolute silence.

Even though no living beings existed, it maintained a strange sense of order.

Yellowed streetlights, high-arching fountains, rotating Ferris wheels—everything operated according to a set logic.

Hollow and pale.

Mechanical operation.

Xu Xi visited every corner of the world but found nothing. However, after returning to the Courtyard in Yanshan City, he unexpectedly saw an "old friend" parked at the entrance.

Its lights were on.

Its horn was blaring.

With a *click*, the red-painted door opened automatically.

As if inviting Xu Xi to take a ride.
