One Trait Draw Per Year Even Simulations Count

Hua Wuyan’s words made everyone realize that the Blood Moon organization was actually a bully that preyed on the weak.

Thirty thousand years ago, when the Human Emperor’s Palace still existed, the Blood Moon organization was basically in a state of invisibility.

They hadn’t disappeared, but their actions were extremely covert, and they simply didn’t dare to stir up trouble in front of the Human Emperor’s Palace.

After the war between the humans and the Demon Tribe, the Human Emperor’s Palace collapsed, and humanity’s strength plummeted to rock bottom.

It was at this moment that Blood Moon experienced a clear period of rising power.

Records about them became much more abundant.

But unfortunately, humanity possessed immense resilience.

After all the strong ones were cut down, some new powerhouses emerged in the short term, with the representative figure being the First Generation Guardian, Shen Yang.

And Shen Yang was a great researcher.

He hadn’t started studying the eighteen paths after his death.He had already mastered the eighteen paths while he was still alive!

Shen Yang used the remaining resources from the Human Emperor’s Palace to arm the weak with the eighteen paths, allowing many talented individuals to survive Blood Moon’s assassinations.

This prevented humanity from being completely wiped out by Blood Moon during its weakest moment.

Of course, Blood Moon’s goal wasn’t to exterminate the race; they merely seemed to want to suppress the number of top-tier geniuses among humans.

At this moment, all the past Guardians, except for the Free and Unfettered God, were gathered here.

They looked at each other and suddenly realized something.

Wasn’t thirty thousand years too long a time?

From the fall of the Human Emperor’s Palace to now, humanity had taken thirty thousand years and still hadn’t recovered even one-tenth of the strength from its glorious era. Wasn’t that too slow?

Chen Yi felt this the most deeply.

In the fifth simulation, after the Dragon-Man war ended, within just a few decades, Martial Kings began erupting like a spring in the human world.

But in reality, after thirty thousand years, they hadn’t even reached the level of the late stages of the fifth simulation.

It wasn’t hard to deduce.

Chen Yi from the fifth simulation had been far too formidable.

It wasn’t just his combat power, but also his reputation and deterrence. He was ridiculously strong and had scared Blood Moon shitless.

Especially since Blood Moon knew that Chen Yi had been investigating them, and they probably also knew that Chen Yi had a way to ascend dimensions and gain greater world authority than the Guardians.

So they simply didn’t dare to make any move, afraid that Chen Yi would uproot them entirely.

This allowed countless human geniuses to grow and develop.

More strong individuals lead to even more strong individuals.

That wasn’t just empty words.

If a person never encountered others at a similar level from the same era, the difficulty of making progress would increase exponentially.

Now, everyone understood.

The real culprit behind everything was the Blood Moon organization!

All the strange incidents that had occurred in the human world suddenly became much more reasonable if they were assumed to be Blood Moon’s doing.

Li Wentian’s voice also carried a murderous edge.

”My crown prince, Li Biao, was accomplished in both civil and martial arts. He had more talent and aptitude than me, yet he died young, with the cause of death unknown! Could this also be part of your plan to suppress human geniuses?”

Yi Chengsheng pointed at Li Wentian.

”Li! Stop spewing blood here! If you want to snatch the Path to Immortality, just go ahead! Don’t pin this on us from the Ancient Wasteland Upper Realm!”

Chen Yi shouted loudly.

”That’s right! We did come here today to snatch the Path to Immortality! But I fucking hate it when some people act all high and mighty while being complete hypocrites! Want to know if the Blood Moon organization is connected to you? That’s easy!”

Chen Yi took out the Ten Thousand Souls Golden Banner, which had already been upgraded to a Super Immortal Artifact.

”Myriad Ghosts Go to Market! Search for me! There must be something related to the Blood Moon organization in this secret realm! Blood Moon’s masks! Intelligence from the outside world! Lists of geniuses! We’re bound to find something!”

But before the numerous demon souls Chen Yi had released could spread out, they were forcefully destroyed by the five city lords at the Martial God realm.

In that moment, the air around them seemed to freeze.

Dead silence.

All twelve thousand martial artists of the human world present gasped in shock.

No one was stupid.

Yi Chengsheng and his group’s actions basically amounted to admitting that they were Blood Moon!

”Hahaha...”

Yi Chengsheng’s expression turned cold, and his laughter was bone-chilling.

”I never thought that even though we’ve been so cautious, we still left behind quite a few clues, and unluckily for us, you discovered them...”

At this point, Hua Wuyan’s anger could no longer be contained.

”What’s the purpose?! Why in the world are you doing this?!”

As a human Guardian, she had failed in her duty, allowing a Blood Moon organization to secretly harm human geniuses.

Funny enough.

The Great Demon, Li Wentian, and Shen Yang had all been Guardians too.

They had all failed.

Yi Chengsheng spread his hands.

”Isn’t it obvious? It’s precisely because we haven’t done enough that we’re in this situation today, with you lot barging in!

If we had been bolder in our actions, killed more talented martial artists, killed more strong individuals, where would you find the strength to break into our realm today?!”

”All for a Path to Immortality?”

”Isn’t that enough! Where do you think the Dao of this floating great city, these divine mark techniques, these methods of expanding the small world... came from?! The Real Realm!”

Chen Yi was confused.

”As far as I know, people who go to the Real Realm can’t come back. Even if you monopolize the Path to Immortality and keep sending your own people to the Real Realm, they can’t return, so their help to you is basically zero.”

Yi Chengsheng laughed.

”People can’t come back, but that doesn’t mean other things can’t come back!

Knowledge! Technology! Techniques! Information!

Over countless eons, among the descendants of us Wild Soldiers, some have always managed to become powerful figures in the Real Realm.

All they need to do is lift a finger, and the things they send back are enough for us to benefit endlessly!

The only thing we have to guard against is the Path to Immortality being snatched away by you outsiders!

So, we absolutely cannot let your development speed surpass ours; we must control the number of your strong individuals!”

Shen Yang was puzzled.

”During the war between humans and demons, you were completely unharmed while the human world suffered heavy losses. Why didn’t you just strike then and kill everyone? Wouldn’t that have been the most trouble-free approach?”

Yi Chengsheng sneered.

”Foolish!”

Shen Yang was displeased.

He hated it most when people called him stupid.

”If there wasn’t an outside world acting as a shield, who do you think would fight when a new world war comes? Us?”

Now the logic was clear.

They were using the outside world as a shield.

But they couldn’t allow that shield to become stronger than themselves, preventing the outside world from discovering the existence of the Path to Immortality and defeating them in a competition for it.

This also explained why, at the end of the fifth simulation, the human world coalition army chose to ally with their enemies just to deal with the Ancient Wasteland Secret Realm.

The actions of these Ancient Wasteland Survivors were simply too disgusting.

Chen Yi had one more question and took the opportunity to ask.

”What about persecuting the Great Dao Immortal Artifacts? They are the foundation of the human world. If you destroy the Great Dao Immortal Artifacts, and the human world collapses, wouldn’t this small world that relies on the human world for its existence also be doomed?”

Right now, Chen Yi only knew that the reincarnation of the Nine Provinces Cauldron’s Artifact Spirit had been massacred, and that was connected to Blood Moon.

As for the perpetrators who persecuted the other Great Dao Immortal Artifacts, he didn’t have direct evidence pointing to Blood Moon.

He just figured it couldn’t be unrelated to Blood Moon.

Yi Chengsheng seemed to have given up on caring, since they already had enough charges against them; what was one more?

”We won’t completely destroy the Great Dao Immortal Artifacts. As you said, they are tied to the very foundation of the world.

However, among the five Great Dao Immortal Artifacts of the human world, there is one special existence—the Qiankun Mirror!

As long as the Five Element Root Vessels are intact, it can easily open passages to other worlds.

You can’t just leave, you know. If you scatter all over the place, how would we still be able to control the situation?

So we can’t allow the cauldron, the sword, the mirror, the pagoda, and the armor to gather together, and we can’t let them remain intact!”
