My Simulated Road to Immortality-Chapter 1419 - 1285 The Emperor’s Sudden Enlightenment_4

```

"Such a close connection; not even the Saint Emperor’s Avatar in this life could achieve it."

"It seems, it must be the effect of the Great Supreme Lord Xuan Huang..."

"Let’s see if this kid has the fortune to withstand it."

Li Fan watched Sun Tianci, who was meditating, thinking this.

The trial of the Fallen Immortal Realm by the Great Supreme Lord Xuan Huang had the passage of time almost identical to that of reality.

Knowing all the correct answers initially, and taking the most optimal paths quickly, he still took nearly half a year to pass through it.

But for Sun Tianci, Li Fan did not directly convey the correct solutions to him.

It was to avoid any potential "anti-cheating" mechanisms in the trial.

Instead, he subtly implanted the solutions into Sun Tianci’s subconscious through storytelling since childhood.

Given Sun Tianci’s talent, with perhaps some tribulations, it shouldn’t be difficult for him to successfully decipher the Illusory Realm trial.

"It should coincide perfectly with the start of the great war between the Sacred Dynasty and the Immortal Alliance."

As for the possibility of Sun Tianci losing control…

Li Fan looked at the remnant soul of Sun Tianci’s birth mother that was enveloped in the core of his split self.

After a period of nurturing, the outward malevolence had completely dissipated, the image of a loving mother remained.

"Claiming to be born of the Unity-Path, yet in actuality devouring the life of the birth mother. This is his greatest flaw!"

"Soon, let me see the might of this era’s Great Supreme Lord Xuan Huang."

Below the ceaselessly flickering light of the trial ceremony, Li Fan’s split flickered in and out of sight, like a wraith.

...

Sacred Dynasty Daqi.

In Lingzhou, Dujiang County, Xixi Village.

The foreboding atmosphere of the impending war had already drifted into this peaceful hamlet.

The majority of the able-bodied men in the village had joined the Holy army, ready to embark on a conquest at any moment.

Only the families’ elderly, weak, and children were left, upholding their livelihood while visiting the Saint Heart Hall daily, praying for their own folk and for the great Emperor.

A woman in her forties had just returned from the Saint Heart Hall, only to find a young man standing at her front door.

An inexplicable feeling of kinship arose within her, and just as she was about to speak, a chill shot through her heart.

As if possessed, she swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

"This one…"

"Madam, please tell me, have you seen me before?"

In the end, it was the young man who broke the silence.

The words he uttered were somewhat strange.

The woman did not understand.

Nevertheless, his warm demeanor gradually put her at ease, slowly opening up the conversation.

"Young man, I think I understand what you’re getting at."

"Are you looking for your relatives?"

"Now that you mention it, you do bear a striking resemblance to my brother-in-law. But he suddenly ran away from home a few years ago and I haven’t seen him since." A glint of tears flashed in the woman’s eyes as she spoke slowly.

The young man nodded.

"Besides him, are there other family members?" he asked again.

"My husband passed away early. It has just been the two of us since he was small. I called myself his aunt, but I am really his mother," said the woman with a self-deprecating tone.

"But over the past few years, I’ve come to accept it. How does that saying go? ’The deceased is gone.’ I’ve adopted two orphans since, a boy and a girl. They’re both good kids, and so the Li family continues."

"Except, it seems there’s going to be a war in the Sacred Dynasty soon, and both the kids have eagerly enlisted in the army. Ah... I don’t know if they’ll be able to return alive. What’s the point of war, really?" The woman prattled on with worry.

But soon, she realized her words were taboo and clammed up immediately.

Seeing no change in the young man’s expression across from her, she finally relaxed.

"Don’t worry, they will return home safely," said the young man amiably.

The woman smiled in return, "Then I’ll take your auspicious words to heart. By the way, have you eaten? How about having a meal at my place?"

"Seeing that you haven’t been drafted into the army, you must not be a cultivator and still need to eat, right?"

"Ah, it’s all my fault, seeing you, I can’t help but reminisce about that lost brother-in-law of mine…"

The woman explained apologetically.

The young man, however, nodded in agreement, readily accepting the offer.

He had a quiet meal at the woman’s house before bidding farewell and leaving.

For some reason, the woman, who had merely watched and didn’t partake in the meal, still felt full, her body warm and energized as if she had boundless strength.

```

Glancing again in the mirror inside the house, the woman was shocked to realize that the wrinkles on her face had disappeared without her noticing.

At this point, how could the woman not understand that she had encountered a person of high status?

Yet, no matter how hard she racked her brains, she could not figure out the origin of this person of distinction.

Had it not been for the different appearances, the woman would have almost thought it was her younger brother-in-law returning.

"Li Fan, have you truly passed away?"

The woman stood dazedly in the room.

After leaving Lingzhou, the young man then visited several locations in the Sacred Dynasty Daqi,

including the foot of Dissociation Mountain.

Finally, he ascended to the peak of Dissociative Mountain and slowly sat down in a thatched cottage at the summit.

This young man was naturally the Great Enlightenment Saint Emperor.

Ever since he gained enlightenment in the Star Sea and grew his facial features, he had always been somewhat preoccupied in his heart.

However, for some reason, he had always chosen not to delve deeper.

Not until the moment the decisive battle was imminent...

The visages of the Sacred Dynasty Daqi’s people were all within a thought’s reach for him.

Based on his current appearance, finding a possible bloodline connection was not difficult.

It was just that the origins seemed complicated, not from a single source,

which led the Emperor to have the mistaken impression that he might have been wrong.

However, when facing those with true bloodline connections, the ripples that instinctively rose in his heart confirmed something definitive for the Saint Dynasty.

It was at the peak of Dissociative Mountain, some of his suspicions were finally confirmed.

Yet the truth seemed to be hidden deep within the Mist, elusive to discern.

"An ancestor, or that mysteriously disappeared person?"

"The time of disappearance happens to coincide with the day of my conscious inception."

"Possession? Awakening of consciousness?"

...

The Saint Emperor’s mind, exceptionally rare, became chaotic.

Until the movement on his shoulder jolted the Saint Emperor awake.

He saw the slumbering Kitty Treasure stirring, affectionately nuzzling the Saint Emperor’s cheek.

The Saint Emperor stepped out of the wooden house, gazing into the distant Cloud Sea.
