...

[In the eleventh year after your birth, you were brought to the Immortal Realm by the qilin and attended the Celestial Peach Feast. However, you looked down on the peaches there, believing them to be far too sour.]

[In the sixteenth year after your birth, you returned from the Immortal Realm to the Aurelia Dynasty. From your father, you learned that you still had a marriage contract. You decided to learn more about your fiancée, only to later discover that she actually came from another world—and had an excellent figure.]

[You have already learned what your fiancée looks like. She is indeed very beautiful, and she is also your type. However, you have already seen through the vanities of the mortal world and have little interest in love or romance. Even climbing to the peak of a snowy mountain feels dull and tasteless to you.]

[Do you choose to annul the engagement?]

...

Caelan had not expected that there would actually be moments where he had to make a choice.

But after thinking about it from another angle, it was actually quite normal. After all, it was "himself" being simulated inside.

However, the display had already made things very clear. Was there really any need for him to choose?

Caelan casually selected "No"!

The simulation continued...

[In the sixteenth year after your birth, you rejected your own marriage contract and planned to seek happiness of your own. You personally went to annul the engagement. However, your fiancée believed that you were humiliating her. Thus, the two of you signed the East River Pact, agreeing to fight to the death thirty years later.]

[Your agreement quickly stirred up a storm across Eastreach Continent. Everyone was looking forward to this battle thirty years in the future.]

[In the seventeenth year after your birth, your cultivation had just stepped into the Ascendant Rank when you suddenly discovered that your progress had slowed down. You felt very bored, and even began to doubt your own talent for a time. Only later did you learn that, under normal circumstances, stepping into the Ascendant Rank required more than a thousand years.]

[You believed that your lifespan was only a few short thousand years, no more than the blink of an eye. You grew somewhat anxious.]

[In the eighteenth year after your birth, you came up with a brand-new plan. You believed that you should take the initiative, increase your lifespan, and improve your strength as quickly as possible. You did not want to wait too long.]

Seeing the current result of the simulation, Caelan frowned slightly.

Judging by the current progress, clearing the Instance on his very first simulation was simply impossible.

By now, he finally understood why the [Legendary Adventure] Instance had never been cleared by any awakener.

Because clearing it did not only require overwhelming strength and excellent luck. It also required enough lifespan.

At present, it seemed that his lifespan was simply not enough to support the simulation until the moment he became the strongest.

But...

Would he be able to randomly get such a good start again in the next simulation?

Caelan sighed softly, then made up his mind to continue with the rest of the simulation.

Since he had finally gotten an absurdly lucky opening, he had to squeeze the maximum value out of it.

In any case, after the simulation ended, any surplus lifespan would also be added to him.

Even if he failed to clear the Instance, gaining several thousand years of lifespan for free would still be an enormous profit.

Of course, this lifespan could only be used as a deduction within [Legendary Adventure]. It did not mean that Caelan truly possessed such a long life.

With that thought, Caelan chose to continue the simulation.

...

[In the thirtieth year after your birth, you no longer focused on improving your cultivation. Instead, you did everything possible to search for items that could increase your lifespan. You believed that you had found the true way to play Legendary Adventure, and worked hard toward that goal.]

[In the fortieth year after your birth, because you had neglected cultivation, your parents became dissatisfied with you. Your parents believed that blindly pursuing longevity was meaningless. Only by constantly improving your cultivation could you truly break through your shackles.]

[You comforted your parents and told them that as long as you lived long enough, you would eventually become the strongest cultivator in existence.]

[In the forty-fifth year after your birth, you had already consumed a massive amount of lifespan-increasing items. You had even looted the entire Aurelia Dynasty clean.]

...

What greatly surprised Caelan was that the East River Pact between him and his fiancée still attracted considerable attention. It had even become the hottest event of the year.

"Wow, the battle we’ve been waiting thirty whole years for is finally going to begin this year! I’m really curious who will win in the end."

"Damn it, I don’t know if I can hold on any longer. I feel like I’ve already reached my limit. If I don’t restart soon, my lifespan won’t be enough! But if I don’t personally witness this battle, I’ll feel like it would be a huge regret."

"What rank do you think the crown prince has reached? Has he reached the Soulforging Rank? And what about that female player? Her strength probably isn’t much weaker than the crown prince’s, right?"

Within the simulation world, many awakeners were paying attention to this East River Pact.

In this world, geniuses were not rare. There were even awakeners who had truly played all the way to max level. But according to legend, after reaching max level, one still had to undergo a final trial.

Only by completing the final trial could one obtain the highest reward.

At the same time, Caelan was also paying attention to this thirty-year-long agreement.

[In the forty-sixth year after your birth, the East River Pact finally arrived. You were about to engage in a deadly battle with your fiancée. During the battle, you discovered that your fiancée had not entered the Immortal Rank, so you only needed one finger to defeat her with ease.]

[However, the course of battle often does not change according to your expectations. Just as you thought victory was already in your grasp, your fiancée used a special skill and exiled you into another dimension. In the end, you fell. However, you clearly sensed that the skill she used carried the style of the [Dark Titan].]

[Simulation ended.]

Seeing this result, Caelan frowned slightly.

What surprised him was that another inheritor of the [Dark Titan] had actually participated in [Legendary Adventure] as well.

Through the system prompt just now, Caelan clearly understood that skills and certain special items could be brought into the simulation.

It was just that because this was his first time activating the simulation, he had nothing.

Caelan rubbed his brow. He suddenly realized that he might have found a way to locate the other inheritors of the [Dark Titan].

The other party should currently be hiding somewhere within the [Void Frontier].

As long as he observed carefully, perhaps he would be able to find her location.

Of course, Caelan understood very well that this would be an extremely long process.

Aside from that, Caelan was also thinking about another matter: why had this [Dark Titan] inheritor participated in [Legendary Adventure]?

Was it because of a mission?

Or was it for some other purpose?

Or perhaps she was simply farming the Instance?
