Chapter 1380 - 1328— - 1329 Life Simulation—A New World
In the beginning there was the Tao, with the Gods coexisting with the Tao.
At the dawn of heaven and earth, the innate Gods were born, these divinely created Gods possessed unimaginable power and eternal life. They established the Divine Court, shepherded all creatures, and ruled over heaven and earth.
"In a world dominated by a Divine Tao, the majesty of the Divine Tao shepherds all beings." Pei Xuanjing rode atop a White Deer, wandering through the forests, basking in the spiritual energy diffused throughout the world.
In this life simulation, Pei Xuanjing was still born innately, forming a Taoist body, but what was different was that the body he formed was not truly that of a grown man, but that of a child.
It must be noted that Pei Xuanjing’s initial entry into this world was quite different from others, evidently more awkward than all his prior simulations.
That is because of the uniqueness of this world, where the Divine Court governed and the Divine Tao flourished. Apart from Divine Tao cultivation, all other cultivation systems were rejected and suppressed by the Divine Court.
The Heavenly Rules were strict, and with Pei Xuanjing’s current state, although he mastered numerous cultivation systems, none could be practiced in his state. The moment he began to cultivate, he would be discovered by the many Gods monitoring the world, and the Divine Court’s soldiers would be dispatched to capture him.
In the past, whether in life simulations or when entering a new world, Pei Xuanjing’s best approach was to seize the Thunder Power inherent to the world the moment he arrived. After all, with the rank of his Divinity as the Emperor of the South Pole Eternal Life, as long as the Thunder Power of a world was unclaimed, Pei Xuanjing could take control of it and be invincible.
However, this world was entirely different, for every deity in the Divine Court wielded their respective Authorities. These Authorities combined are the very foundation upon which the Divine Court stands, meaning the Thunder Power had its master.
Under the current circumstances, should Pei Xuanjing dare to touch the Thunder Power, he would immediately be discovered by the Thunder God of this world, which would bring upon him fatal danger. With his current predicament, he was utterly incapable of resistance, and the consequences would be even graver than cultivating other systems.
Thus, the greatest reliance that Pei Xuanjing initially had became useless, arguably making this the most perilous start to his rise to power.
Now, his nature as a True Immortal still existed, but he was devoid of any Mana or Authority. The divine powers he mastered could not be activated. Apart from possessing an extended lifespan, he was no different from a common being.
If one had great power, a long lifespan would be a blessing; but without the power to protect oneself, an extended lifespan was not a boon but could become a curse.
