“What did you say?”
Gu Qingxue suddenly opened her eyes.
[This system is called the Perfect Life Simulation System. By simulating the host’s life, it allows the host to clearly recognize her true heart and understand the truth behind everything. For matters that have already occurred, the host should do her utmost to make amends. For matters that have not yet happened, the host should try her best to prevent them. This is the meaning of this system’s existence.]
“So that means my life, Qin Yuan’s life, and even our future… can all be changed?”
Gu Qingxue was half doubtful. “But all of this is arranged by the Heavenly Dao. How could it possibly be changed?”
The Heavenly Dao was supreme.
It could not be defied.
If everything was arranged by the Heavenly Dao, how could it be altered?
[There is nothing impossible in this world. Although the Heavenly Dao is powerful, there exist beings even stronger than it. This system is one of them. The system has already cleansed the host of destiny’s influence. The host has now regained her rationality. From this moment onward, the Heavenly Dao will no longer affect the host in any way. The host only needs to follow the system’s prompts, complete missions, make up for regrets, change events she does not wish to happen, and achieve a perfect life to obtain System Rewards. The system will also assist the host in continuously growing stronger until she can contend against the Heavenly Dao.]
“This… can I really change my life? Can I truly… fight against the Heavenly Dao?”
The words contend against the Heavenly Dao struck directly into Gu Qingxue’s heart.
[Please trust this system.]
Just a few simple words, yet they carried unquestionable certainty.
Gu Qingxue said blankly, “But… what should I do?”
[What is the host’s greatest regret right now?]
“Of course it’s Qin Yuan!”
Gu Qingxue answered without hesitation, her eyes reddening again.
“I was too foolish before. I shouldn’t have treated him that way. Qin Yuan has suffered far too much. I don’t want him to suffer anymore. I don’t want him to endure injustice again. I want… I want to win him back. I want him to live this life in happiness. As long as his life becomes perfect… then I will have no regrets.”
[Ding! System mission released: Reclaim Lost Love!
Content: A prodigal who returns is more precious than gold. Due to certain mistaken perceptions and the influence of the Heavenly Dao, the host hurt her former lover. Fortunately, the worst has not yet happened, and there is still room to make amends. The host now understands the truth and what is about to occur. Please strive with all your effort to make up for past regrets and prevent tragic events from happening. Upon completing each stage mission, the host will receive System Rewards. Upon completing all missions, the host will receive abundant rewards.]
[Warm reminder: The host is currently aware of destiny’s corruption, but others are not. Qin Yuan is not aware either. Therefore, changing everything and reclaiming your lover will be extremely difficult. Please work hard.]
“No problem. There will definitely be no problem.”
The gloom in Gu Qingxue’s heart vanished instantly, replaced by boundless joy.
As long as there was a chance to change things, nothing else mattered.
What did hardship count for?
Even if the chance was only one in ten million.
It was enough for her to devote the rest of her life to it.
“Qin Yuan… from now on, I won’t let you suffer even the slightest bit.”
…
“Achoo!”
At the Cliff of Contemplation, Qin Yuan suddenly sneezed several times for no reason.
“What’s going on? I’m a 1st stage Golden Core Realm cultivator. Don’t tell me I can still catch a cold?”
Qin Yuan rubbed his nose and sighed, muttering to himself, “Being a tragic villain really isn’t something just anyone can handle.”
He had clearly always wanted to be a good person, giving everything and treating everyone well, yet in the end he was despised by all. If his mind were not strong enough, he would truly have collapsed long ago.
Becoming an Immortal Emperor was indeed not that simple.
“I say, system, you’re really keeping your word, right? Once I finish this lifetime, I’ll become an Immortal Emperor?”
Qin Yuan asked suspiciously.
He had lived in humiliation for ninety-nine lifetimes. The system had not given him a single System Reward, only empty promises. If the system decided to cheat him at the end, he would have nowhere to cry.
[Ding! Please trust this system. However, this reincarnation is the final lifetime of the ninety-nine reincarnations. The difficulty of completing the mission is high and filled with many unknown factors. Please treat it with caution.]
That same sentence again.
Qin Yuan shook his head helplessly. Every time he asked, it was this answer.
Ninety-eight lifetimes, and not even the slightest reward.
What era was this? Such a stingy system was truly rare.
As for high difficulty, ever since the sixty-sixth lifetime, the system had given him the same reminder every time.
At first, he had been extremely vigilant. In the end, every lifetime had gone smoothly. There had not even been real danger.
Ninety-eight lifetimes had passed without issue.
This final lifetime would be firmly in his grasp as well.
Qin Yuan felt full of confidence.
[Ding! The host has successfully completed the twenty-first scene. The twenty-second scene is now activated: Charging Forward for Love.
After learning that Gu Qingxue is in trouble, the host rushes out of the Cliff of Contemplation, is discovered, and suffers severe punishment. Please prepare in advance.]
“Alright, alright. I’m always prepared.”
Qin Yuan waved his hand lazily. Time to get scolded again.
This tragic villain life was truly suffocating.
But there was no choice.
For the cultivation of an Immortal Emperor, he could only endure.
“Young Master, this is bad! Something terrible has happened!”
At that moment, an anxious shout came from outside the Cliff of Contemplation.
“Qin Ming. How many times have I told you to be steady when handling matters? What kind of behavior is this, panicking like that?”
Qin Yuan said displeased as he looked at the panting Qin Ming.
Qin Ming was one of his trusted followers. They had cultivated together since childhood, and Qin Ming had always played the role of his lackey. At only twenty years old, he was already at the 9th stage Foundation Establishment Realm, definitely a rare genius.
According to the system’s plotline, Qin Ming would later die at Su Fan’s hands while trying to protect him. His loyalty was unquestionable.
“Sor… sorry, Young Master. It’s just that what happened just now was too strange, so I got a bit excited.”
Qin Ming’s face was flushed as he panted heavily.
To exhaust a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator to this extent, he must have rushed to the Cliff of Contemplation at full speed without stopping.
Qin Yuan shook his head and advised, “How strange could it be? You’ve followed me for so many years. Haven’t you seen enough strange things? You really need to learn to be steady, or in the future you’ll suffer—”
“It’s about Miss Gu Qingxue!”
“What?”
Qin Yuan’s words abruptly stopped. His expression immediately turned serious.
“What happened to Qingxue?”
Right now, he was still playing the role of a devoted lapdog. He had to maintain his character.
“Miss Gu… Miss Gu fought with Su Fan. She said she was avenging you, Young Master!”
“???”
Qin Yuan froze. He grabbed Qin Ming by the shoulders and lifted him up.
“Explain clearly. What exactly happened? Did Qingxue really fight with Su Fan?”
“Cough, cough. Young Master, calm down. Please calm down.”
Qin Ming was shaken until he felt dizzy.
Qin Yuan roared, “Stop talking nonsense. Tell me clearly. What exactly happened?”
Qin Ming hurriedly organized his thoughts and said, “About half an hour ago, Su Fan had just finished treatment at the medical hall and came out. Miss Gu rushed at him with a sword in hand…”
