“Regret?”
In her dazed state, Nangong Liuli thought she was hallucinating.
After thinking for a moment, she shook her head blankly. “Probably not?”
[Really not?]
“Probably… not…?”
[Think again!]
“Regret… regret…?”
Nangong Liuli pondered with difficulty for a long time before murmuring, “Does… Qin Yuan count?”
Thump—
The moment Qin Yuan’s image appeared in her mind, Nangong Liuli felt her heart tremble violently.
The intensity surpassed the sum of the previous pulses.
“Ha… ha…”
Nangong Liuli trembled in pain, cold sweat pouring down her body.
“Why… why does my heart hurt so much… when I think of him?”
She desperately tried to stop herself from thinking further, but Qin Yuan’s figure would not fade. Scene after scene of the two of them together flashed through her mind like a film.
The once detestable face gradually became gentle and warm again.
In the haze, he smiled softly.
The him from the past.
It seemed as if he had returned.
[Ding! Perfect Life Simulation System successfully bound!]
As Nangong Liuli was lost in confusion, a voice sounded in her mind.
She froze.
“What? What is a system?”
[Perfect Life Simulation System. Based on the host’s fundamental conditions, the system will simulate the trajectory of your future life. The host may use the simulation results to avoid upcoming risks in advance and remedy future regrets. Upon achieving a Perfect Life Achievement, the host will receive a System Reward.]
“Remedy regrets?”
After thinking for a moment, Nangong Liuli asked cautiously, “What exactly are you? Why did you choose me?”
Like Gu Qingxue before her, Nangong Liuli was extremely vigilant, worried that some ancient being was attempting to possess her body.
[Because the host is someone toyed with by fate. To help you escape a tragic destiny, the system has appeared.]
“Me? Tragic?”
Her reaction was the same as before. Nangong Liuli did not agree. Enjoying the story? Read on at g.com.
Her life had been smooth and prosperous. It had nothing to do with tragedy.
[Does the host truly think so?]
“You may be mistaken,” Nangong Liuli said calmly.
[Then why does your heart ache when you think of someone?]
Nangong Liuli froze. That was the question she cared about most.
She asked cautiously, “Is this your doing?”
[Yes and no.]
“What do you mean?”
[The host may activate Life Simulation. After the simulation concludes, you will obtain the answer you seek.]
“Life… simulation? In other words… you can predict the trajectory of my future life?”
Nangong Liuli seemed thoughtful.
[The host may understand it that way.]
“What exactly are you?”
[I am the system. A system here to help you.]
“Help? I do not seem to need your help.”
[Aren’t you curious why thinking of someone makes your heart hurt so much?]
“…”
Nangong Liuli fell silent.
[The host may activate Life Simulation. After the simulation concludes, you will obtain the answer you seek.]
After a moment of silence, Nangong Liuli responded, “Activate.”
[Ding! Life Simulation initiated. The system will now review the host’s major experiences from birth to the present, and then simulate your future life.]
…
…
[Twenty years ago, you were born in the Supreme Profound Sect.
You are the legitimate daughter of Nangong Yue, the Sect Master of the Supreme Profound Sect.
At the moment of your birth, heaven and earth displayed extraordinary phenomena. Grass flourished, birds soared, and all things revived. Within a radius of 500 kilometers, heavenly treasures gathered in homage. Auspicious clouds and radiant light filled the sky, and divine beasts and sacred birds circled for three days without dispersing.
This was because you were born with an Earth Spirit Physique, naturally close to the great Dao of all things, the ultimate constitution for the path of alchemy.]
[In the years that followed, you received the full nurturing of the Supreme Profound Sect. Even the long-reclusive Supreme Elder of the Infirmary Hall personally emerged to accept you as his disciple.]
[At eight years old, you could independently refine Foundation Establishment Pills required for the Foundation Establishment Realm, and they were of high quality. Many stewards of the Infirmary Hall could not achieve this. The entire sect was shocked.]
[At ten years old, you could independently refine Essence Restoration Pills required for the Golden Core Realm, also of high quality. Even many outer sect elders could not accomplish this. The entire sect was driven into frenzy.] You are reading on novelping . com, the official source.
[At twelve years old, you could effortlessly refine all pills below the Golden Core Realm, and even improve upon existing formulas. Given time, you would inevitably surpass the Supreme Elder and become the foremost figure of the sect’s Infirmary Hall.]
[From then on, you received even greater attention, with nearly all resources poured into you.]
[On the path of cultivation, you also progressed rapidly.
Though the Dao has three thousand paths, they all lead to the same end.
Your cultivation in alchemy and your deep comprehension of nature made your cultivation path smooth and effortless. With the support of medicinal pills, at fourteen years old, you successfully broke through to the 1st stage Foundation Establishment Realm.]
[At fourteen years old, you participated in the Six Sects Grand Competition for the first time, publicly displaying your alchemy talent.
You naturally won first place in the alchemy competition.
You were discovered by the Celestial Jade Holy Land, which wished to take you away.
The Celestial Jade Holy Land was a force superior to the Supreme Profound Sect. There, you could have obtained even better development.
You refused.]
[After that, you became the most dazzling star of the entire Supreme Profound Sect.
But you were too dazzling. Too powerful.
Even the strongest geniuses of the Supreme Profound Sect appeared like beginners in front of you.
Your life was too smooth, too brilliant.
The gap between you and ordinary people was too vast. You were completely alone.
Gradually, your personality became calm and indifferent. There was nothing in this world that could stir even the slightest ripple in your heart.
Gradually, in the eyes of others, you began to appear detached from worldly emotions.]
[Until you were sixteen years old, when a young man named Qin Yuan arrived at the Supreme Profound Sect.
At that time, Qin Yuan was only fourteen, slightly immature compared to you.
Yet his unparalleled talent, spirited vigor, and imposing bearing immediately drew your attention.
At fourteen years old, Qin Yuan had already reached the 9th stage Foundation Establishment Realm.
And you, at sixteen, were only at the 7th stage Foundation Establishment Realm.
For the first time, you felt pressure.
“Hello, Senior Sister Liuli. My name is Qin Yuan. I look forward to your guidance.”
This was the first sentence he spoke to you. On his incomparably handsome face bloomed a bright and gentle smile. Your heart, which had long been as still as an ancient well, rippled for the first time.
“Hello.”
You returned the smile, but silently made a vow in your heart.
Qin Yuan?
I will surpass you!]
