Chapter 582: Chapter 182: Breakthrough True Lord! The Undying Weirdness_5
Wang Ping shook his head, closing his eyes once again.
Seeing this, everyone else also quieted down.
“System, I want to undergo a free simulation,” Wang Ping said in his heart.
“Ding, Life Simulator activated, free simulation starting.”
The system’s voice echoed once more, Wang Ping’s consciousness flickered, and he reentered the immersive simulation state.
“System, fast-forward for me,” Wang Ping instructed.
“Ding, fast-forwarding…”
The system’s voice echoed once more, the luminescent screen appeared, and words emerged.
“[On the first day, you moved once again. But this time, you didn’t annihilate the lower realm. Instead, you went straight to the upper realm. When you arrived, you found the trickster who had been waiting for you.]”
“[This time, you didn’t intend to kill the trickster, but used your powers to seal him away. However, even without killing him, the trickster’s power continued to grow steadily.]”
“[Clearly, the trickster has another ability, which is to grow stronger through the power of belief. And because he had devoured other deities, all the faith of the lower realm belonged solely to him.]”
“[For this reason, you frowned, annihilated the lower realm, and then the trickster’s power stopped growing. However, he still mocked you, for you couldn’t kill him.]”
“[To this, you didn’t bother to argue and simply let Wu Jun use the power of the Golden Finger. But this time, Wu Jun’s Golden Finger didn’t trigger an instant death effect, didn’t kill the trickster, but instead resurrected all the gods.]”
“[As the gods were resurrected, the trickster’s power weakened significantly. Seeing this, you had to admit that Wu Jun’s Golden Finger was incredibly game-breaking, akin to a wish-fulfilling machine. However, this wish-granting machine was random; anything could happen.]”
“[Next, after thinking it over, you attempted to use your strongest secret skill, sacrificing your origin to deal a powerful blow to the weakened trickster. However, after the trickster was killed by you, he resurrected once again.]”
“[You’re out of options to deal with him. As a result, you ended the simulation out of frustration. Continuing the simulation was pointless and just a waste of time.]”
….
“What a nuisance.”
Wang Ping sighed while looking at the simulation content.
The power of the first tier of the Void Divine Realm couldn’t kill this trickster, a fact he had fully realized.
Which meant, the only way he could enhance his combat power to completely eliminate the trickster would be by acquiring the rewards from the paid simulation.
However, as soon as he chose the Cultivation Reward, the price for the paid simulation would skyrocket, making it unbearable.
After all, going from the first tier of the Void Divine Realm to the first tier of the True Divine Realm, advancing a Great Realm, as well as numerous small realms, the resource consumption required for another paid simulation would make him shudder.
The scarcity of resources in the Last Dharma Age was known to him through the words of the Master of Tao Palace in the previous paid simulation. He was going to the Upper Realm, and it was uncertain whether he could acquire enough cultivation resources for a paid simulation in a short period.
“So, it’s not an option to choose Cultivation. That leaves me with two choices.”
Wang Ping considered silently.
Option one was to choose the Sacred Artifact, and option two was the Purple Talent: Endless Blade.
By leveraging the power of the Sacred Artifact, he could suppress the trickster.
If the Purple Talent: Endless Blade could trigger another critical strike, that would be great.
If the power of the Sacred Artifact still couldn’t completely suppress the trickster, then Wang Ping could only retreat.
The trickster was impossible to kill, and too risky to provoke. He might be baiting them; the situation was just too risky.
Therefore, he’d be better off retreating to the Purple Spirit Realm to continue strengthening himself through the simulation before dealing with the trickster.
As for what might happen to Zhang Hu during this period, all Wang Ping could do was to offer him and this world his silent condolences for three seconds.
“Mr. Wang, what’s with that pitiful look in your eyes? It’s freaking me out,” Zhang Hu said, looking slightly terrified under Wang Ping’s gaze.
“No big deal, you just have to move,” Wang Ping comforted Zhang Hu, responding.
“Uh….Damn!” Zhang Hu’s face darkened, realizing that the situation was probably grim.
Wang Ping didn’t hide anything and recounted the situation.
Everyone looked at each other with consternation.
The trickster’s resurrection ability was outrageous. It seemed impossible to kill him. Now, how to handle this?
“Increase your combat power, try one last time, and if that doesn’t work, we’ll prepare for backup from Chen Si in the group. If even that’s not enough, get ready to retreat,” Wang Ping swept his gaze over everyone and said candidly.
Even though he had grown powerful, Wang Ping felt that retreat was not a shameful choice when dealing with a trickster, one’s safety came first.
“Uh……I agree.”
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.
Only Zhang Hu was a bit melancholic.
This world was quite good. He did not want it to be destroyed.
