The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings

Chapter 540: Chapter 488 Life Simulation – Unifying the World, Confirming the Conjecture

At the age of thirty-eight, Pei Xuanjing took two years to recuperate and implement the military merit system of the Pre-Qin era from the previous Daming World, ruling the country by law. This drew the dissatisfaction of countless noble officials. However, faced with his hundreds of thousands of strong soldiers, they were completely helpless.

Following that, Pei Xuanjing spread the method of cultivation, which was considered the foundation of each clan, throughout the world, allowing every citizen of the empire to cultivate.

This move undoubtedly touched upon the fundamental interests of the noble officials. They conspired to revolt, attempting to assassinate Pei Xuanjing. However, he easily suppressed them. Instead, Pei Xuanjing took this opportunity to once again sweep away the aristocratic families in the empire, gaining even more resources.

At forty-six years old, Pei Xuanjing has been on the throne for ten years, implementing reforms and recuperating. The strength of the entire empire has nearly doubled with almost all citizens becoming soldiers. Innumerable soldiers and generals seek for battle, aiming for meritorious service and entitlement for their wives and offspring.

Following the enfeoffment ceremony and worship of Heaven, Pei Xuanjing summoned the soldiers and gathered millions of troops, igniting the grand unification war of this world.

When Pei Xuanjing’s slogan was proclaimed, no one believed he would succeed. The many dynasties and empires of this world have waged endless wars for countless years. There have been ambitious hegemonic rulers wishful to unify the world.

However, the final outcome is clear, no one has truly achieved it. The world remains the same, with constant battles among countries.

Ordinarily, in every life simulation he experienced, Pei Xuanjing’s primary goal was to collect martial skills to nourish his cultivation and solidify his foundation.

However, in this world, he had a number of interests, as he curious why the world targeted cultivators and wanted to figure out the reason.

In the Daming World, under Pei Xuanjing’s influence, he promoted the Daming Empire to the Divine Dynasty. Although he gained numerous benefits, the one who benefited the most was Emperor Zhu Houji of the Great Ming Divine Dynasty. This fact was unchangeable unless Pei Xuanjing ascended the throne himself.

Since he came to this world due to a fortunate coincidence through the life simulator and the figure he impersonated had ascended to the throne, he might as well attempt to build a divine dynasty in this world.

If this world discriminates against cultivators and restricts them from achieving longevity, would establishing a divine dynasty receive the Heaven’s favor? Who had the divine position bestowed by the heaven’s favor, held the authority of heaven and earth, and whether they would still be targeted by Heaven and Earth, able to have an enduring life?

For this reason, in addition to waging wars, he placed statues of himself throughout the empire. Whenever he conquered a place, he would erect a statue.

Right, in this world, Pei Xuanjing chose the fastest and most suitable way to increase his strength: the Incense Fire God Refining Skill.

Countless power of incense fire faith poured in.

At fifty years old: After two years of campaigning, Pei Xuanjing’s empire defeated and destroyed three imperial dynasties. The world was shocked, and some far-distant empires started to pay attention to the region where he was.

As Pei Xuanjing’s soldiers won battle after battle and the faith from the power of the incense fire that Pei Xuanjing received became more and more, his strength also continued to increase.

At fifty-five years old: Pei Xuanjing’s empire has nearly destroyed ten imperial dynasties. Now, countless dynasties around him began to grow uneasy. A wave of fear had begun to spread, and countless people turned pale and terrified at the mention of Pei Xuanjing’s name.

Using this opportunity, Pei Xuanjing’s strength ascended to another level. Though he hadn’t broken through to the Sixth Level, he was able to fight against a Sixth Level cultivator due to his proper mastery of the power of incense fire, thereby evading several assassination attempts.

At sixty-two years old: Pei Xuanjing had toppled a third of the world’s imperial dynasties and occupied almost half of the world’s territories. The remaining empires began to ally together to collectively resist this terrifying empire.

Unfortunately, it was already too late. Pei Xuanjing’s empire, like the thriving Great Qin, was on the unstoppable path of swallowing the world. Their alliance only slightly delayed Pei Xuanjing’s advance and was utterly meaningless. The end result was inevitable.

This moment was the peak of Pei Xuanjing’s empire. Years of continuous wars have not led to the decay of the empire, but rather, because of the existence of the military merit promotion system, numerous people have the potential to ascend. Even for those whose countries were destroyed, after seeing the hope of rising in their former nations, they also began to strive for it.

As someone once said in Pei Xuanjing’s original world: The collapse of the Great Qin was actually due to the military merit promotion system losing its function for expansion after the unification. Therefore, it meant that the lower class people lost their channels for promotion, and they became stagnant, leading to the collapse of the empire.

The saying goes, “Survive in adversity and perish in security.” If the Great Qin had a strong competitor on its border, it absolutely won’t have collapsed in such way, instead, it would have become even stronger. At least until its opponent was completely destroyed, Qin would not collapse.

Now, Pei Xuanjing’s empire doesn’t have this worry. There are still enemies in this world. The remaining imperial dynasties in this world are his opponents. Although he doesn’t think highly of these opponents, they can undoubtedly serve to stimulate the initiative of his soldiers and citizens, encouraging them to bravely step forward.

At seventy years old: Pei Xuanjing’s empire completely destroyed all of the empires in this world, becoming the first empire to unify this world throughout history. At the moment of this historic feat, Pei Xuanjing felt a long-lost sense of Heaven’s will, as he had when the Great Ming Divine Dynasty ascended in the Daming World.

At that moment, Pei Xuanjing felt as if he had once again entered the Unity of Heaven and Man state. He seemed to merge with Heaven and Earth, easily perceiving the will of Heaven and Earth. His view seemed to have changed to Heaven and Earth’s perspective. In his eyes, the true face of this world revealed itself. He could effortlessly observe the mountains, rivers, and the Earth’s pulse within the world.

Taking advantage of this, Pei Xuanjing’s cultivation progressed even further. His refining spirit cultivation path broke through again, undergoing three transformations in a row, almost reaching the Spirit Realm Sixth Level. Considering his previous breakthrough in the Path of Qi Refinement.

At this moment, Pei Xuanjing’s Refining Essence, Refining Qi, and Refining Spirit had all reached the Spirit Realm Sixth Level. They all reached a true balance, not just a balance achieved by exploiting his entity’s abilities.

If the timing wasn’t wrong, Pei Xuanjing would have attempted to condense the Golden Core.
